[icanseethefuture333]

Can I have an post about NCT Mark's reputation in the industry or his ideal type? P.S You're legit look like a 90s superstar💌💖💖 don't be shy and drop your skincare routine please 🙏

WHY ARE NCTZENS BEING SO NICE TO MEEEE, THIS IS LIKE THE 2ND COMPLIMENT I'VE GOTTEN THANK YOUUU 😭💚 Ofc since we did TY Track I don't see why I can't do one for Mark 🦁

Mark from NCT's ideal type:

Qualities

I channeled: "Hmm... What do I like in a partner?" I think Mark hasn't really thought about what important qualities a partner should have and more so has thoughts about appearance or personality.

Mark would be interested in someone similar to him or someone with similar values, habits, or behavior as him, but with a more elevated mindset.

He could want to do date someone who is also a musician or a writer. I feel like Mark is curious about the twin flame dynamic? He could want to feel a connection with someone on a deeper level. Telepathy? Mark is wanting a partner who could read his mind and emotions so that way he doesn't always have to explain himself. Someone who is very aware and observant. A partner that eases his anxiety or relieves him of his everyday stress. He could also like if his partner was more optimistic and looked on the bright side of things because Mark can have a more "realistic" outlook on life.

Personality

I'm ngl... Mark has a toxic taste in partners LMAO 💀 I just feel that he wants someone who keeps him on his toes and he hates predictability. Like if his partner was too "normal" or too "stable", he's gonna hate that, he's gonna feel like he's the partner with the issues, so he wants someone that can be as imperfect as him. "It's more fun that way, no?"

I'm laughing pls 😭- "I'm not saying I want my heart broken, but if she's bad then she can take it [his heart]."

Mark really does not give a fuck 😂 (btw this is the first reading I've done for a celebrity where I cannot stop giggling??? He's so funny). He also wants someone who would like call him out on his bullshit. Mark doesn't want someone who's submissive or a pushover, "😁Feistyyy." It's giving: "I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me"

Intuitively, I feel like Mark also has a lot of insecurity in his relationships as well. The partners who are healthier for him, he feels like he's not good enough for them, so instead he dates partners who are often unstable. It's okay to date someone who's more outspoken and dominant, but it seems like he's constantly attracted to partners who are too controlling towards him.

Physical traits

"Honestly I have a type. I'm not the tallest so I don't wanna date anyone who's like too tall but I don't mind the height too much. I like hair, the people I've dated their hair is pretty long and if they have short hair, it's gotta be like fluffy (voluminous is the word he was looking for)." Channeled songs: Trap Queen, 679, & Again by Fetty Wap

"I'm like "Hey, what's up? Hello" (Ayy)

Seen yo pretty ass soon as you came in the door

I just wanna chill, got a sack for us to roll

Married to the money, introduced her to my stove

Showed her how to whip it, now she remixin' for low

She my trap queen, let her hit the bando

We be countin' up, watch how far them bands go"

"Baby girl, you're so damn fine, though

I'm tryna know if I could hit it from behind, though

I'm sipping on you like some fine wine, though

And when it's over, I press rewind though, ayy

You talking bands, girl, I got it

Benjamins all in my pocket

I traded in my Trues for some Robins

He playing Batman, Fetty's gon' rob him, ayy

I got a Glock in my 'Rari, ayy

17 shots, no .38"

"I want you to be mine again, baby, ayy

I know my lifestyle is driving you crazy, ayy

But I cannot see myself without you

We call them fans, though, girl, you know how we do

I go out of my way to please you

I go out of the way to see you

I ain't playing no games, I need you"

Oh he's a giverrr 😝. Mark wants for his partner to look good, so he'd go out of his way to pamper them and spoil them. Like "oh baby you want your nails done? I got youuu 😌". He likes to show off his partner. I heard "I want that Beyoncé and Jay Z love." (😭💀 Mark go sit tf down please). I love the energy tho fr.

He's mentioned girls a lot + all 4 cards are women, so he has a obvious preference towards the female gender.

Long hair

Thick, voluminous hair

All hair textures (straight, wavy, curly, etc).

Varies from pale, medium, deep, or brown skin tones.

Girls with a "mean" expression or resting bitch face (🤨😠😒)

Feline beauty

Arched eyebrows

Horizontally wider eyes

Prominent features (big nose and big lips)

Likes lipstick or lip gloss ("Juicy lips")

Someone who plays hard to get (as in a tsundere, basically acts like they don't want him but secretly does)

Shoulders and collarbones

Pretty hands

Nice ass

Likes jewelry? Rings and earrings to be specific.

Something about fabrics is coming up, so Mark could like when women wear flowy dresses or like those sheer beach cover ups.

Instagram baddie style is very apparent here.

Soft glam makeup (U.K? Black London baddie makeup. Latina makeup coming up as well.)

Mixes luxury with casual

Long acrylic nails

High heels

Painted toes

I am being reminded of that song that goes "Ion want no barbie, I want me a bratz doll "

Bratz doll type of beauty

Celebrities/influencers who are similar to his ideal type:

Juliana Nalu, Ashley Nicole King, Kali Uchís, Camo, Jordyn Woods, Yarastargal, Mia Owens, lisajn37, amandaa_solis, Cindy Kimberly, asiaeros, bbv_g6rl, 200120_01, & bybrokelle

Let's Talk ASMR!

Where I talk about certain character series and just what makes them interesting to me.

There might be more than one part of this, IDK, but for now - let's bring up the first subject of interest.

Anigomi's OC: The Class President - Warren!

Uh, I'll be bringing up spoilers for all three current parts (12/26/2023) so if you wanna go watch them - you should. The first part is at THIS LINK HERE.

Both he and the listener characters are both well written and compelling. They are apart of the same major at the same school: he seemed to take notice of them a bit into having that same class - he akso has a friend that lives in the same dorm as them. But they really don't know him that well.

The rest will be under the cut.

First: Characterizations

Warren can be described as a bit arrogant; it seems like he's looking down on people with the way he speaks. But it's more so he seems aware of his best qualities and what he's good at so it can be seen as such. He also has trouble voicing his emotions and this point in particular is a source of conflict.

The listener is generally a good student that somewhat struggles with the way they're being taught in classes. They also don't react will to being teased and are high empathy. It should be noted that they don't like playing mind games and unless whoever is speaking to them isn't straightforward, they don't understand and can misconstrue actions and behaviors. They could be interpreted as neurodivergent because but it's more so up to you if you share these traits.

(While I relate heavily to the listener in question, I cannot ascertain if I myself am neurodivergent.)

Part 1 - "Kiss and Tell"

Their relationship doesn't start that well off. As a way to get them to notice him, Warren confronts them for being at the music building after curfew hours - which is against the rules. In exchange for not informing the higher ups, he says he'll keep quiet if they'd go on a date with him.

He pointedly pokes fun at them while they're already upset and doesn't at all endear himself to them. Specifically on how they cpuld easily feel like he's dismissing their anger/downplaying it by calling them cute.

It also isn't made clear about if he had feelings for them. He's nice enough to walk them back to their do because it's late so I assume that might be why the listener decided to show up for their date.

(It is pointedly also a study date at a coffee shop)

Part 2 - "Brewed Awakening"

The date comes and it doesn't really get much better. Like the first minute in and he referred to their tastes in beverage as "basic"; which probably wouldn't be seen as an insult and more as a ribbing but it can be still kind of hurtful. He also heavily judges where they picked to sit in the shop, again just making them feel like their choices are bad.

They again aren't endeared to his percieved "arrogance" as he said he'd be choosing where they sat next time.

The next few minutes are barbs and backhanded comments about their intelligence, potentially making them feel frustrated and responsible for bring the class average down because of the low grades they have. He wamts to help them improve and clearly understands they have trouble processing the information bring taught by their professors.

He also makes it a point to scold them for being forgetful that this was a study sate as they didn't have their textbooks and had to sit beside him to share them.

He knows this because of looking at the notes from the Teaching Assistant... Which is against the rules - the listener realized they could use this to show him how they felt about being essentially extorted. But he again beats their feelings down, making them feel cornered again. Discrediting them by stating that as class president, they'd believe him over them.

They also are pinned with physical proof in the form of cameras.

They visibly flustered again, not because they're embarrassed but because they're frustrated and upset. Of which he again calls them cute and tells them he planned to continue saying it - knowing that it bothered them.

They are blushing though, as he's still good looking and they're still attracted to him.

He goes onto to laugh at them for being disappointed that it felt like he wasn't going through with the feelings they thought he had. They also had to push him to promise to not make fun of their grades when he asked for a test paper to better understand what they needed help with.

More backhanded compliments happen, comments of how stressed and upset they are about tests. All of which could be seen as him making light of how they feel.

Also expecting payment for all the help despite them clearly not wanting or asking for it. He asked for another date but they quickly shot him down, likely not really wanting this type of situation to occur again.

So he asked for a kiss instead. As he didn't specify where, they gave him a peck on the cheek. Seeing if he was willing to ask directly...

Which he didn't. Instead asking what he had to do to get one, that being they had to pass their next test.

He did end up asking to kiss them as opposed to asking for a kiss from them though. Since he asked out poking fun or anything in return, they were more willing to give him as he was direct.

He also clarified that he didn't mean "basic" in a bad way as he tasted their drink on their lips.

Part 3 - "Fool Me Twice..."

Warren comes upon the listener being set upon by three others; of which were extorting the listener with photoshopped images. Intimidating the three into leaving and giving up the photos... He stopped the listener from leaving too - as they had been avoiding him since they passed the test. Seemingly failing to understand how similar the situations were.

He wanted to know why that was the case as they had aced the test he helped them study for. It wss very likely they felt as if having his help on this exam meant everything disparaging he said about their intelligence was correct.

I interpret the dialogue as of the listener asked gim why he was really so concerned about them avoiding him.

He does bring up the fact he'd asked them on a date and asked for a kiss, assuming it would be obvious to why. But is immediately taken aback after finding out that they believed he shot for them because they were "easy", of which he admitted that initially- he did believe that was the case.

Just confirming to them what they thought his intentions were, it's not helped even after he tells them verbally he liked them - kissing them and asking them out. They genuinely thought he really was just using them for their body.

It literally pushed them to tears. He wasn't clear at all from the beginning and it came back to bite him, he still isn't great with voicing or explaining how he ferls.

They test him to see if he'd be honest, asking him to tell them genuinely without any pretenses what he liked about them. Only then willl they consider accepting. They're saddened and disappointed to hear more backhanded compliments and nothing directly towards their good qualities; as it sounded as if he was calling them both plain and naturally unintelligent.

They call him out on this, for not being sincere. But he doesn't seem to understand why it's hurting them.

The listener gives him one last kiss to thank him for saving them. Of which brings things full circle as he says that what they did was bad and that "he had a line"... They pointedly acknowledged that what he did was the same thing.

He asked for one last chance. Being as they didn't hate him and want to see him do better, they consider it.

(You can find me in the comments in this part blabbings about what made me write this.whole post.)

Conclusion

Warren needs emotional maturing amd is still a good character in writing. I want to see him be better and communicate with the person he likes, reflect on how his actions and behaviors could be looked as negative. It's the lack of self-awareness that is hurting him and his relationship with the listener.

He also needs to understand that their thinking is different not only in schpolwork but outside classes as well. The listener needs open, direct communication - someone as emotionally mature and intelligent enough to not play mind games.

I applaud Anigomi for their writing because damn, this really hit home for me.

Optional part, soft pretty ppl who can also kick ass while still smiling IS hot. Thankyou. 🙏

a tune, an image, and a story of...⋆｡˚

yae miko is an enigma. she is full of mischief and wonder—living up to her existence as a fox yokai. and since long ago, you have come to accept the fact that it is one of the many parts that make her alluring. as unclear as your relationship with her is, you are comfortable with it as long as she lets you adore those many wonderful parts of her. and that is how it has been for all these times. until one day, that enigmatic part of her grows to a truly puzzling degree. (or in which, miko and you are in love and live together. though in a true foolish romance style, only miko is aware of this, while you innocently and ignorantly think all of this as a ‘something less than lover more than friends’ and ‘regular sleepover’—like a dumbass.)

you awaken to a pair of soft lips on your eyelids. you don’t immediately open your eyes, drowsiness still gluing itself heavily onto you. however, right as your consciousness nearly drifts away once again— “i have woken you up with a kiss and you still refuse to?” a voice, teasing with a lilt of a mock sigh, speaks right next to your ear with a puff of warm breath. a hand snakes up around your blanket-wrapped body, gentle but strong enough to refrain you from jumping away out of sheer surprise. that hand, though, only fuels your shock even more as your eyes fly open and your head snaps to your right. a gentle color of a familiar pink greets you with a smile. right, miko—you remind yourself. your ‘something’—a friend? but what friend insists on a sleepover every day on the same bed and— “just because you already wake up doesn’t mean i will allow you to dream with eyes wide open,” miko tugs your ear, regaining your attention once more. her smile grows sharper and you are fully aware that your brain is still not ready for whatever it is that will come. “now—” you try to get away, still, despite knowing the result, “can i—” “no,” she replies sweetly. “now—do you remember what today is?” in the most honest way possible, you really don’t. “…no…?” “oh, poor me,” miko sighs and you fear she will finally resort to fake crying. it truly is too early for that.

miko’s laugh is as melodic as always. in the flustered, shy, nervous manner of a young girl falling in love, you avert your eyes away. your fingers unconsciously fiddle with the floral ring on your hand. it is soft and you doubt it would last long—but, the ghost of miko’s touch remains. not quite as a warmth, yet far from a freezing coldness. it is very miko, in her own way. “oh—oh, really—” miko gasps through her chuckles, her laugh still resounding from your side, “—i can’t believe you miss that confession. and to think after you make me be the one who confesses back then—” “hey,” you cut off, finally glancing back at her albeit with an annoyed one, “it was your fault for using all those complicated anecdotes.” “saying that ‘the moon is beautiful tonight’ should be a common admittance of affection, is it not? it’s still a craze even now, you know,” miko tilts her head. “i don’t,” you pettily reply, earning yourself another laugh from miko. as her laugh dies down, the amusement never quite leaves her face. “then, what should i have said then—or better, now?” miko asks, shifting to push her face closer to you. “should have i called you with some special nickname? ‘my little fireworks’, perhaps? or do you prefer something more straightforward like ‘my beloved’?” your face scrunches up. this fox is certainly having fun while basking in the fact that she has heated your whole face up. so, speaking it out loud without much thought, you scoff, “why don’t you just kiss me immediately then?” within a blink of an eye, miko somehow grows even more amused.

notes: as much as i want to drop your @ because hey i know you, i won't because i am kind. i don't usually associate a water spinach like you with pastels and all the colors of a bright, sunny day, but because this story is about 'what should be a lover's anniversary if you were not a dumbass', i think it will suit it well. honestly, what do i even say to you. why did u spill my 'rainy day sad boy mentally sobbing' playlist. sorry it took some time tho. all in all, i hope u like it, i did do my best u know >:( remember to praise me later

Happy first day of Spooktober! 👻

PLS WRITE SOMETHING FOR FRAT BOY KYLE IM DESPERATE 🙏🧎‍♀️

Halloween!!!!!

warning: Language, mentions of sex

note: i didn’t edit this and i don’t want to so im not going to. kyle and reader celebrate halloween together like they do every year. but the frat brothers aren’t on the same page

Every year, the wind chills down from extreme temperatures and the leaves all turn brown for maybe a week or two, then they all fall off the ground. In the American town of New Orleans, this is called fall, not to be confused with the much prettier and complex version autumn, which is essentially the same thing, just not dumbed down enough for Americans.

Kyle loves fall for everything it has to offer. Pumpkin flavored lattes, pumpkin flavored frappuccino’s, pumpkin scones, pumpkin muffins, candles, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and most of all, pumpkin patches, which provide a picturesque date for him and his s/o, Y/N.

None of these pumpkin delicacies are worth it without the prospect of sharing them with Y/N.

To start his day out, he went to Target and bought the softest cardigan he could buy. He wasn’t aware of it, but Y/N was elsewhere in the exact same Target buying a different color cardigan. It was one of their traditions as long-time lovers, they each bought each other a cardigan to wear that night.

It was Halloween, well, the morning of, but Kyle and Y/N decided to make it a day long holiday. Next step on his agenda was to find those disgusting/scrumptious seasonal sugar cookies that have little ghosts and pumpkins printed on the tops of them. Kyle wasn’t quite sure why he kept buying them each year, since in his 21 years on earth, he could never quite decide if he truly liked them or not.

They were so gross they were good, a complex feeling Kyle had experienced many times as a broke college student. Things like junk food, fast food, and anything fried all had this quality to them and he ate them regardless of feeling conflicted by their very existence.

But, of course, he knew Y/N adored them, so he knew he’d never stop buying them. He didn’t have much money to start with, and the cookies and cardigan together were already a large sum, he checked out his items and returned home, not wanting to spend any more money.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

“Kyle?” Y/N called out and crossed the threshold into his frat. They heard nothing but a football game playing on the TV in the living room so they wandered through the halls a bit, floorboards gently creaking when they took a wrong step. “Ky?” They called again.

“He’s in his room!” They heard a voice shout over the game from the living room, one they recognized to be a frat brother.

Y/N had a strained relationship with many of Kyle’s frat brothers. They had a sneaking suspicion none of the boys really liked them very much, whether it be the way they look, the way they talk, or perhaps just that they had nothing in common with a typical frat boy. Kyle was the exception to this, as he was the sweetest guy Y/N had ever known.

Y/N saw the group now, on the couch with one peeking his head behind him to get a good look at Y/N. “Thanks,” Y/N pressed a tight smile with their lips and a weird wave that seemed unnecessary, and then scampered off to Kyle’s room.

Y/N knew to knock, they had done this a million times before, but they also knew that Kyle appreciated his privacy and they never intended to invade on it.

There was a small bout of hushed curse words and noises of a few small things crashing to the ground before the door swung open, revealing Kyle in a black T-shirt and gray sweatpants. “Oh, it’s you,” his gaze softened, he stepped to the side and led them in by a gentle hand at the back of their waist. He shut the door behind them.

“The cookies are done already,” he motioned to the decorative plate with cookies on a small tray near the bed. Sure, using a ceramic plate would mean (God forbid) he would have to wash a dish, but something told him it was worth it.

“I can see that,” Y/N added and plopped onto his bed, pulling out the bundled sweater they had shoved into their bag on the way here. “I hope blue is good, I just figured if it was a school color then you might wear it out and stuff.”

He crawled on the bed opposite of them, loving gaze on Y/N as he leaned forward. “I would have worn it anyway, it’s perfect,” he pressed a kiss to their lips.

“Good, otherwise I would have held you down and forced it on you,” Y/N whispered and pulled back from Kyle’s handsome face to cozy themself under his blankets. “Where’s your remote?”

Kyle pursed his lips and looked away. “Did you lose it again?” Y/N scolded, and when Kyle didn’t respond, they knew the answer. “Fucks sake, boy. What don’t you lose?” They grumpily got out of bed and started searching around the room. Kyle giggled and fell backwards on the bed.

“Found it! It was in your closet, Ky, what were you doing with your remote in your closet?” He shrugged childishly and tucked himself into the bed as Y/N had done previously. They gently chucked the remote at Kyle’s smug face and he yelped but caught it.

“Finally,” Y/N mumbled as they got close to Kyle in the bed, wrapping their arms around him tightly and smushing their face into his stomach. “I really missed you,” they murmur.

Kyle kissed the top of their head. “I missed you too baby,” he gave them a quick squeeze before grabbing the remote again. “What do you wanna watch, sweetheart?”

They removed their face from him and let it rest on the edge of his chest. “A Nightmare Before Christmas.”

“That’s a Christmas movie honey-“ Kyle started but was interrupted by a strong knocking at the door.

Bang bang “Kyle! I need a condom!” A man yelled. Kyle closed his eyes and sighed in frustration. He rubbed his hand down his face.

“Do you think you could maybe- I don’t know, take your clothes off? They’re gonna clown on me if we’re not having sex in here, I put a sock on the doorknob for this.”

When they gave him a disgusted look he just nodded and accepted defeat. Bang bang bang “Kyle! Please!”

Bang bang bang “Here! Take your damn condom!” Kyle drawled as he slapped the condom onto the man’s chest and slammed the door in his face.

Kyle made the slow return back to the warm bed and be heard a not so discreet choir of voices behind the door, “oh shit! They’re fucking in there! Can you hear it? Put your ear on the door!”

Kyle’s eyes widened greatly and he sent them a pleading look, clasping his hands together and begging them silently. They groaned and got up onto their knees on the bed, knocking the bedframe into the wall enough for them to hear. “Fuck! Good for him,” is all the two heard before footsteps retreating.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, thank you,” Kyle pulled them into his arms through apologies and hugged them tight. They rolled their eyes and rubbed his back up and down slowly. They clicked play on the TV and in a few minutes, heard Kyle’s soft snores and felt his dead weight on top of their body. Every year.

Creepy pasta sleeping habits

I am such a god damn nerd okay.

Jeff

Barely. He'll stay up all night doing the dumbest stuff shit online. you can practically hear the sticky ipad noises echoing through the hallway. Just the squish on his fingers tapping the dirty screen. He plays those games that have adds like "i bet you cant beat level pink or you're legal good" just to prove himself.his ipad is laggy from the amount of viruses hes gotten from sketchy websites. He'll sleep in till 4pm then deny when everyone asks if he's tired. He trudges through his tasks, yawning, dark bags contrasting with his pale ass skin. Someone will be like "Hey dude are you okay you seem tired" and he'll blow tf up on them. He usually sleeps with his eyes open out of convenience, but When he does need a good night sleep he needs a sleeping mask because he has no eyelids.

Ben

Ben stays up with jeff on discord calls. He has shitty ass mic quality so when you pass by either of their rooms its just garbage noise. His bed sheets are stained with cheeto crumbs and he has enough stuffed animals to create a new makeshift mattress, so when he sprawls out all of them just go flying off the bed. Has a nightstand filled with various bowls and cups he just never bothered put away. Along with 50 empty uncleaned monster cans that he keeps for "decoration" (they are full of bugs)

Toby

He has a fan in his room to create white noise. He gets really anxious during the night. (thanks slender man lol) he has one bed sheet. One pillow. One blanket. No posters. No books, no nothing. He has a phone, but instead up spending all night on social media, he just. binges. He knows everything about a show before everyone else because he just binges, he cant function until he finishes the show.his favorites are Hallmark movies. They remind him of the movies his mom was always playing on the tv. He spoiled shows so often that people had to pay him 20 bucks each to stop. After a while though he just felt he HAD the binge all the shows and then he had a panic attack because he didn't sleep for three days and now he goes to bed everyday at 9.

Jane

Only person here who has a skin care routine. She takes a shower. Sets out new comfortable clothes for sleep on her bed so when she gets out of the shower so she doesn't need to pick out pajamas. She also tosses a towel in the dryer so its warm and fluffy for when she gets out.she has a 14 step skin care routine full of various moisturizers and serums. She also has a jade roller. Shes very incecure about her skin since she got her burns, so she always puts in extra effort to feed her skin good stuff. She likes to watch a show before she goes to bed just to unwind. She used to doom scroll but then she read a artical about the effects and stopped like the queen she is. Her go to's are true crime, the crown and bojack horseman. Shes a back sleeper because feeling her body touching while shes sleeping makes her hyper aware and in turn, makes her uncomfortable.

ensemble girls resources: a masterlist

always wanted to get into engirls but don't know how? already into engirls but curious as to where to get official art and all that stuff?

well look no further! this masterlist is made for you!✨️ ok i'll stop it with the advertisement talk

❀ index!

translations

cards (framed and frameless), transparents and cgs

official art

ost/songs

—translations

translations are both one of the easiest and most difficult things to find with engirls, this being due to the fact there's not much translated content about it

there's already somewhat of an engirls masterlist regarding translations here !!! i don't have much to add about it,, if you can't find a specific story or something you're interested in using any of those sources, chances are it hasn't been translated yet, please have patience and stay up to date with the engirls eng twt acc to see if a translation is ever uploaded!

—cards (framed and frameless), transparents and cgs

this one kind of depends on what you're looking for

for framed cards, i recommend the ensemble girls wiki, you just gotta go into the gallery of the character you want to see cards of and boom. most cards are there!! another option is the kimisaki database, which i'll explain a bit more about in the next point

for both frameless and transparents i recommend checking the kimisaki database right here, more specifically, in the card series (カードシリーズ) section; while not all cards are there since the database still is a work in progress, it's a good replacement for the old engirls database that was taken down a couple months ago (rip)

another source for transparent versions of cards is @/sevenarchive, if you look in the ensemble girls tag you should find various transparent cards, not all of them sadly, but hey! it's smth, at least

for cgs, there is a decent chunk of engirls cgs in @/engirls-cg's blog, while not all of them are there, it's the only public source i've seen that has engirls cgs

—official art

most official art is found in the official engirls twt (@/ensemble_girls), though you'd have to look for it using keywords and stuff since the acc has A Lot of tweets,, some keywords could be:

2���年, 3周年, 5周年, 7周年; for anniversary arts

(ttm), (mm), (ck), (jk), (ro), (nk); for miscellaneous art the engirls acc has posted

though, @/nomorewhitepeople has uploaded some of engirls' official art under the #upload tag, if you check it you'll find a bit of official art and that stuff, i'm technically also doing the same but at a slower pace since i don't really like clogging up the engirls tag much

as far as i'm aware, there aren't any other sources to obtain official art

—ost/songs

by ost i mostly refer to sound effects and in-game music, that kinda stuff

for some ! story ost and sound effects, they can be found here, you can also find voicelines of some characters related to certain cards and stuff

hi! hope you’re having a wonderful day! maybe i please request a sfw tokyo rev matchup? <3

personality info: my name is winter. a raging bisexual. i’m a female INTJ 5w6. i’m also taurus sun, libra rising and capricorn moon. i’m not exactly a very open person to strangers but if i know you and trust you i tend to be more talkative, sarcastic and hyper. i tend to say a lot of dark jokes because why not?- i’m unfortunately super clumsy. if i don’t know someone very well i tend to come of as cold and rude. for me, one of my biggest goal in life is to see all the people i love and care for are happy. my love language is definitely gift giving. because i’m not very good at communicating (saying i love you and those stuff 🗿) and handling and identifying emotions, i tend to give gifts.

appearance: i’m a slim 5’3” female. i have short black hair (wolf cut), which i tend to dye a lot (rip my hair💀). i have naturally long eyelashes and a beauty spot right underneath my left eye. i also have a beauty spot on my upper lip and back of my neck. i have small hands (which people call baby hands 🥲) which are somehow always warm lmao.

hobbies, likes, etc: my hobbies include drawing and painting, dancing, playing video games and programming. i love listening to music (mainly k-pop and rock) and watching anime, also reading manga. i enjoy horror and thriller movies. animals have a special place in my heart. and ofc i love sleeping 😩

partner?: tbh I would want someone who is honest, loyal and overall funny (how original 😐). they would need to know and understand when i need time to be alone and when i need to be comforted. also they need to be the talkative one cause i ain’t opening my mouth 👁👄👁

i hope that is enough lmfao. also i love your writing, keep it up <3

tysm for your kind words and thank you for sending a request! I appreciate your support so much <3 also hi taurus twin!

I'm matching you up with ran!

ok so stay with me on this one ok? I know that fanon ran has this massive stigma about being a playboy, noncommittal, cheater, etc etc. but I was given this platform to tell everyone that UR ALL WRONG. ran haitani is a massive himbo, that's all. he's an airhead. and he's cute. and he knows it. as much as people will argue, ran at his roots is not one to jump from person to person. the only proof of this we need to look at his his independence and dedication to running things with his brother and his brother only. sure, it's his brother, but someone with a natural inclination to explore options and bounce from person to person without any loyalty would not run shit this way. so, I'm here to tell you that ran is loyal af. the only problem is like I said, he's a himbo. he might not catch on to things that might bother you right away so you'll have to make sure to establish clear and easy to understand/interpret boundaries right off the bat. if this happens? you're golden, ran is yours and only yours baby.

as an airheaded himbo, ran will laugh at anything you say that he's pretty sure was a joke. he might get used to your dark humour a little too much so if he laughs at something serious you said that wasn't a joke pls don't get mad at him.

ran is pretty universal with love language I think. he's not really a man of complex words so to speak, and he's not quite as eloquently spoken as his brother, but he has no problem conveying himself with words and has no problem showering you with praise and validation. part of him knows this is something you might need, even if he's not consciously aware of that. the nice thing about dating himbo ran, is that you don't have to worry about your own words with him. he knows you love him, and he doesn't need or demand anything else. he's happy with quality time or acts of service, but gift giving might make him blush. point it out and watch him blush even more.

ran himself doesn't have that many interests besides hitting people in the head with bricks or metal rods. but out of all your interests, he doesn't mind sitting down and watching horror movies and thrillers with you. he will talk through it all though so don't hesitate to tell him to stfu. he'll listen.

when it comes to being comforting, ran is honestly kind of hard to understand here. like, he's comforting in such an odd way?? he'll give the BEST hugs but he doesn't have much to say when you vent. idk if it's because the words are just going out the other ear, or if he just genuinely doesn't have a response that he thinks is worthy. either way, he makes up for his lack of words here with hugs and acts of service. instead of trying to help you find solutions to a problem you had just vented about, he'll order a fuck ton of food from your favourite restaurant and have it delivered so you can hang out and forget about it for a minute. he's so cute. please treasure him and tell him he's worthy <3

Tma season 2 notes baybeee

I made myself take several breaks so I could give my frie d who is listening to it at the same time as me a chance to catch up. Honestly just posting them so I have them saved somewhere but whatever.

ep 41: real graham wrote keep watching before he was replaced. Jon feels like he's being watched. But they werent replaced by things related to the eye. It's the web that's on the box that replaces them. Endless hallways and doors to nowhere. I bet nicholas will have ideas what entity this relates to. If it even does. They're like the tunnels in the one with the builder guy. Tunnels closing in etc. Also like the cave diving one. He's assuming it's just one

ep 42: so 100 gecs? (IM SORRY I LIKE 100 GECS BUT LMAO) so there's some entity related to music right? There's the piper episode and the 27 w/ the calliope. Ah yes, this season is gonna be the season of Paranoid!Jon

ep 43: section 31? fucking books. god no. smashed lights? cult lady did that. covered the lights too. she mentioned a spooky clown doll. thats not random.

ep 44: is this that same circus that got mentioned before? it is! the pipe organ! pop off organ! pipe off! mouth on the stomach! yes! mouths in unusual places my beloved!

ep 45: antiques! like that one ep!

ep 46: every time books get mentioned i sigh. hhh sus smells. it got brighter. I get the vibes occasionally that the dark and the eye are sorta at odds with eachother. GRRR BARK BARK LEITNER. ayyy ex altiora. entity go brr. which entity do we thing it is? my guess is The Dark. The book buyer's name is Mike. He has scars? Electricity? The childhood friend of the guy who got it later on perhaps? The Vast? its formatted like an entity idk. This happened before the other one. He got trapped in the wood carving. a win for the web lol spiders go brr

ep 47: did i hear spiral? ITS THE NOT THING FROM THE EPISODE WITH NOT GRAHAM "it didnt move, it shifted" is like the exact same sentence as before. ay john's starting to remember. the laughing woah thats weird. is "michael" one of the entities? "you make it seem like theres a war" supports my theory that theres a struggle between a couple of the entities. I said i thought it was the eye and the dark i believe but im not sure. its whatever entity michael is vs the worms? what did nicholas say the worms were again? The Corruption? still dont know which one michael is tho.

Had to take a break after that episode. smth about the quality of michael's voice makes me feel like im gonna slip into one of those states where it feels like nothing is real, so i got a nice cold glass of water.

ep 48: jesus ok this one's kidna corny. you're telling me love made the crowd go away come on now. Ur losing it big J. also shouldnt it be more sus that "sasha" is so unaffected by the worm incident/ finding of gertrude's body

ep 49: haven't we heard hector's name before? oh is he the crime guy? fucking jared... so it's a throat? chompa chompa. (it's just a little bit hot) the good part about these episodes is that we know whoever's telling the story isn't gonna die. even if it's a close call, they're not dead. hotworth? ok not jared keay. it bothers me how theres so many repeated names, can they not come up with other names? "sasha"'s computer is breaking... sus. Elias our favorite weed man! jon ur so paranoid lmao

ep 50: robert smirk, at it again. this is like that one episode with the old dude who locked his door. who said idle beforehand? was it smirk? fingertips. thats so weird lmao. bahahah tim

ep 51: simon fairchild. im sure jon will mention the name at the end i cant remember where we've heard it. this is just like the cavediving episode. a hand? there was a hand in the last one right? the scalpel! and an eye thing. she's trying to throw them off.

ep 52: thats the guy from before! with the hearts! god i hate this guy writing the statement hh. lights blowing, and brackish water. we know how this ends but its still tense. rainer? reigner? rain man. we've seen him before

ep 53: pls not a leitner. oh boy mans scratched out his eyes. rip skelly. why would gertrude have had this statement off the books? jon stabbed himself?? bruh im? big man are you okay

ep 54: cockney boys! ayy its our favorite delivery men. she cut out their eyes. she knew that the eye was a thing?

ep 55: oily residue like the retirement home!

ep 56: worms? no. spiders?? bruhh. aaah yelling :(( aww martin anyways yeah i called it about paranoid!jon he needs to take a nap and drink some hot chocolate and calm down for once please

ep 57: just remembered, i think theres an entity called The Lonely?? This feels pretty lonely idk. fairchild, lukas/ lucas, some spooky place in norway idk. "sasha" knew he was recordinig hmm suspicious cmon jon figure it out. Sasha and tom. hm sus. for records sake i feel liek i should note here that I did have it spoiled to me simply that that's not sasha, but thats really all. i assumed it was like the thing that happened to graham in S1

ep 58: i feel like i recognize the name eustice (?) wick. someone please tell me im not just watching jon's descent into madness over the course of this podcast. im hoping it isnt so but, (and pardon the dsmp reference) im getting real wilbur vibes from this one.

ep 59: oh dear ok account from the fielding house. swirling designs? Spiral time? oh boyy. oh wait! 6 inch hole in the middle! is it not a spiderweb type design on the table? thats what i had assumed but that description sounds more like a spiral thing. cobwebs is a Web thing. ayy nicholas was right! the box goes in the table! the place that she kissed him was burning. Raymond is an avatar of The Web and agnes is the burning one. Lightless Flame! Why did she save him? i guess she was against this guy eating ppl or wtvr but why was she at the halfway house then? I think she's like michael.

ep 60: the eye go brr

ep 61: breacon and hope once again. tom. sasha's boyfriend. vampires sleep in coffins. the guy just walking in seems similar to the mind control of the vampires

ep 62: bones! its that one leitner. is this mother keay? the mom of gerard? this is what happened to her right? her skin was found on hooks? oh yeah thats what i thought the pages are made of skin. yeesh. The End!! sounds like an entity. phrased like one, and i think i remember it. are the people trapped in the pages? or... kept?

ep 63: eaten by the darkness! cavediving episode! (just like eaten by the sky) did my brain make up one called The Vast? it feels like it should be one, and all these episodes have some similar description about their feelings when they do whatever chosen hobby they have. ok now this one kinda feels like the dark. lights going out and all that. ok so not really a The Vast thing, its more of a Dark thing. feckin smirk gah.

ep 64: dice! the death guy! the death game thing! the person tricked somebody else into becoming death and then they were immortal? but if the egyptians wanted to kill him or punish him or whatever couldnt they just kill him? it worked in the end when he had the person giving the statement stab him, that did the job and actually killed him

ep 65: finally jon is actually acknowledging something is wrong.

So we know Mary Keay was revived most likely with the book by gerard.

Gertrude was way more aware of the entities than Jon. mary keay referenced The End openly and she cut the eyes out of her magazines and all that which makes me think she was aware of The Eye

ep 66: please not buried alive pleeaase not buried alive. lukas of the tundra? didnt we hear the name lukas before? she wanted it to be difficult to find important files because that way bad people couldnt find them?

ep 67: agnes... the girl in the hilltop house? agnes poppin off!! he's really not gonna question how she knew where he lived?? oh no D: the tree. were they the ones working on the house? aww they kissi- OH DEAR. why did she kiss him? it seemed like she cared about him? also she could kiss that other dude on the cheek and he was fine, but maybe it was cuz she was younger? lightless flame go brrrrr.

ep 68: oh god books. yup its bitchboy leitner. mans said "this seems supernatural, its a werd book!" bruuh.

ep 69: heh nice. aw cmon jon listen to martin. gahhh spiders. is that the class we heard about in the other doctor one with the teeth apple? some kind of psych class? oh dear. fucking spiders. aaaah. web do be goin brr. it's like the girl in the homeless shelter! who made the guy leave and she took his bed.

ep 70: is this gonna be the book that mary keay had? Most likely a leitner no matter what. Oh boy latin. Why did it start in latin then become old English? I'm guessing people put them in the book? He cant burn it. Phrophecies go brr. He says eh it's a decade in the future it's fine. Its gonna have changed. Ayy called it. Just accept it, it's a magic book. His death is getting closer. Leitner didnt make them but just collected them? Gertrude burned the book! She burned them down there so no one would know.

ep 71: oh boy tunnels. Our favorite thing /s. is The Buried a thing? Idk this seems pretty buried. Oh dear he's trapped here isnt he. "Not enough space to move, never enough to breathe" is that from the computer episode? With the guy who uploaded his consciousness? Somebody living down there. Hmmmm. Guesses: tom, sasha's boyfriend. Gertrude herself? (Though I doubt it)

ep 72: sweeney todd moment. Meat. The slaughter? Idk we'll see what the supernatural part is. Meat is meat. Similar to the slaughterhouse episode. Is it fucking Jared I swear to God it better not be. Hooligan teenagers, you know how it is. Meat is me lmao. Is the kid gonna be in the freezer. Ok that's good. OWW. Oddly textured candles. Made from people? Human fat or smth? Tom from the meat processing plant!

ep 73: outer bay shipping. Bet it's a subset of breacon and hope delivery. The Dark go brrr. Uh oh mans is gonna die. Leo or whatever. Cult ppl go brr. The people's church of the divine host. Who is the divine host? Is it reigner or whatever his name is? I dont think Jon can quit tbh. Probably an anonymous tip but from who?? One of the entities?

ep 74: fucking teeth hhh. I dont know which entity is related to teeth. Spiral. Isnt the spiral an entity. It feels like it could be related to many things idk. Yeah this sounds like the spiral. Heart attack at 29? Jesus... michael! That's kinda what I was thinking. Sasha goin in the tunnels. Hmm sus. They move the floor. Wack. Bet its tom.

ep 75: Man with a lightning scar. Has one of the leitner books. The childhood friend of the one who first introduced us to leitner. Oh my god that sounds terrifying. Michael crew.

ep 76: scalpel? Hmm spooky. NotSasha... think jon think.

ep 77: another double! NotThem, The Stranger. Not related to the table?

ep 78: what was that at the beginning? Question mark?? Oh boy more NotThem. Decker... what is the deal with the table. Does it contain the creature? Fucking Michael. Bitchboi himself.

ep 79: yes pop off martin. Ugh fucking Michael just leave man. I hate that dude. New person. Hmm. No idea who it is.

ep 80: shitener himself! Ok sir tell us the entities. Ayy The Spiral. Ok we know what that one is. The Eye is the beholding! Oooh. The Stranger. Did elias just kill leitner? Popping off honestly.

[today-only-happens-once]

If there's a video game or book series or TV show or movie you have thoughts about that you'd like to gush, please do for this ask!! What drew/draws you to it? What's it's best qualities, or worst? Anything you would change if you were given the chance? Good luck with your life-managing and brain-wrangling stuff!

klsjfkdlsjfkldsjf anon you have my whole heart rn

So can I gush about just one character from a show? Because I’mma gush about mah boi Jaskier from the Witcher because I will never shut up about him if given the opportunity:

Gonna stick it under a cut tho because I could ramble about him for hours and he’s not a ts character. ^u^ Thank you for this opportunity anon, but you do not know the floodgates that you have opened. (Mobile users if its doesn’t cut off for you I’m SO SORRY)

Alright so! Jaskier! My heart is so full of love for him like heck. I can’t even explain what, exactly, it is about him that makes me love him so, so much! 

He is relentlessly, unflinchingly loyal to Geralt. I know Joey Batey (the actor that plays him) said that the word he kept coming back to when it comes to playing Jaskier and understanding his character is that term: loyalty. He follows this man around for 22 years (and I get that they’re not literally together all the time for those 22 years but still). He devotes his career, in no small part, to making sure that the world loves Geralt after he is gone. That is going to be Jaskier’s legacy. I think he knows that. I think he likes that; this idea that when Jaskier is old and gone, a part of the world might be a little bit kinder to Geralt and the Witchers like him. 

And he’s such a spot of sunshine in an otherwise very, very dark show. Jaskier brings a balance to the show’s dynamic that is needed, in my opinion. And I also think that’s part of Geralt’s begrudging draw and appreciation of him as well (though I’ll try not to ramble too much about that, as it’s addressed in one of me WIP for the Witcher fandom). But I just... he brings balance. To the show, and especially to Geralt.

But Jaskier, really, is Geralt’s foil at every step. Jaskier is bright and vibrant and literally does not shut up, and Geralt is... not. He lives in a very dark and unforgiving world. A world that has been cruel and harsh to him for as long as he’s been alive. But then here comes Jaskier, who... isn’t. Jaskier is kind, and he fills Geralt’s world with light and love. 

And Jaskier sees that light and goodness in everyone around him, including Geralt. Another thing Joey Batey has been vocal about in terms of his approach to Jaskier’s character (and something he brought up with the writers) is this whole idea of doing away with Jaskier as a womanizer and instead this ardent, all-consuming, but genuine love that Jaskier has for the world around him. Jaskier doesn’t womanize; a part of him falls in love with everyone he meets. And I think that extends to Geralt.

I ship him with Geralt. I do. Wholeheartedly, though I don’t have any illusions that canon will follow that. And part of that is loving this idea that Geralt sees Jaskier as this light and love and brightness in his life that he is both afraid of and desires to protect, and this idea that Jaskier sees Geralt has he’s always wanted to be seen. Jaskier sees the selflessness and the sacrifice and the care that Geralt carries around with him and the bard does everything he can to make him seen as the hero he is--as the hero Geralt wants to be, but doesn’t always feel he is. 

They see the best in each other, is really what I’m getting at here.

AND THEN there’s the role Jaskier plays in the show’s pervasive underlying thematic exploration of the idea of choice and fate. There are three main characters that are tied directly to Geralt: Yennefer, Ciri, and Jaskier. And Jaskier is the only one of those three that is tied to Geralt because of active, continued, persistent choice to be. Yennefer and Ciri are both tied to him by magic and fate, and that doesn’t mean those relationships are meaningless. But I think Jaskier’s relationship to Geralt has the potential to play a role in how the show explores this theme going forward. My only hope, given the six year gap that follows the mountaintop Break Up scene is that such a long absence of Jaskier drives that point home for Geralt. That Jaskier doesn’t ever have to come back. That every time he returned to Geralt’s side, it was done by concious choice born out of loyalty and love (though what brand of love is up to your interpretation; I’m a full-time Geraskier shipper for all the reasons above and more, so you know where I fall on that side of things).

I like the Witcher as a show in general terms too. But it’s a far cry from faultless. There are moments where I (and some other parts of the fandom) are basically Fury in Avengers with the whole “I’m aware the council has made a decision” scene. But I think it does a lot of good things too. Like Jaskier. And I hope the show keeps doing good things. Like Jaskier. (pls pls pls more Jaskier episodes in season 2 PLS im BEGGING).

Anonymous asked:

// inazuma newest archon quests spoilers + rant (please delete if it makes you uncomfortable ^^)

hhhhh had so much expectations for inazuma plot, even with your warning I lowered my standards and hoped for an acceptable at least ending... and I mean the gameplay was just superb, but in terms of plot? there was? so many holes??? Feeling quite disappointed since there was so much hype... mihoyo pls we cna actually wait some more if it means for a better quality game :(((

tbh I’m surprised you say that the gameplay is superb. I didn’t feel it was above the usual, and the usual for story quests is passable at best (and is often not at its best). Of course, it’s debatable whether I’d be happy if the gameplay was more involved. I’d be stuck on the main story longer, in that case, and I am currently deeply unwilling to spend time on that. 

(Now, the exploration for 2.0 was great, and I am hoping 2.1 is good too, but this is completely and utterly detached from the storyline. You don’t even go to Seirai once in Act 3.) 

I’m also NOT willing to wait longer because they’ve already had a full year to come out with Chapter 2. Two!! They literally took a year from launch to release the next proper story update! And it sucks! It’s short, basic and poorly constructed! This is not a time issue. This is just flat out an issue with their writing team being completely incompetent. 

They just need to hire Actual Writers. 

not just about the obvious things like why was the vision hunt started, and what about all the damage that it brought to the island, scaramouche's appearance, baal's puppet (that felt very out of the blue like :///)

it all just felt pretty rushed, like... you know from the beginning it's okay to give us more quests to show how inazuma is currently affected, how the war took a toll on everyone even resistance soldiers, the delusions and teppei dying... like they could have made it more emotional??

Genshin dropping plot points out of nowhere seems to be the norm, because their writing team doesn’t understand writing. 

I mean, the puppet thing is sudden and out of nowhere in particular and also poorly handled because this “puppet” has her own will, but we treat it as her not having one? People were assuming it would be a possession situation, which would imply some drama there, but we literally have no idea how the “puppet” feels about any of this or what she’s even aware of. 

But then, was the twin sister thing foreshadowed? That was even MORE out of nowhere! And Scaramouche’s connection to all this is just straight up irrelevant. How do you say “oh yeah, this villain that appears in this chapter was actually created by the final boss!” and then never have them interact at all or express any opinion on this. Why would you use Signora here and not Scaramouche?!

However, I feel that they already gave us plenty on how much Inazuma is affected? 

This is handled in Act 1, 2, and in a huge number of side quests. Like, Act 1 is all about how much NPCs are suffering, which actually had way more emotional weight than any of the playable characters, ironically. And Act 2 was about the resistance and their struggles to stand against the Shogunate. There are also loads and loads of sidequests about soldiers dying in the war, soldiers traumatized by the war (notably, “Masanori” and Inaba Kyuuzou), civilians caught up in the fighting, the shogunate’s brutal and merciless treatment of anyone who didn’t bow down immediately, etc. 

The bigger issue is that we get All This about how much Inazuma has suffered because of the Shogun’s poor leadership and tyranny, and then the main story turns around and goes “you trashed Ei and now she’s opened up her heart and it’s all good :)” 

Genshin’s treatment of human characters is ridiculous. 

most of all just thinking about la signora's death makes me go all '?????' because I felt like it was rushed and for absolutely no reason at all... like... we barely even saw her or interacted with her as the main villain of the story (and in mondstat, she only came to take venti's gnosis at the end, nothing else and the same for liyue too whose while events was planned by zhongli) in inazuma (save for that one time in ritou). we knew the fatui had to be involved somehow because they're collecting gnoses and they've had plots with every city we came upon so far, but like... ???

makes me :/// because childe literally orchestrated osial's revival and zhongli let him and its all fine they're all fine and good but like... she died just like that...................... I expected so much more too considering ahe literally had a whole artifact set about her and seemed to be quite important like???

I mean... I’m not sure why you’re bringing up Childe? Zhongli BETTER let him since it’s all Zhongli’s idea. Zhongli WANTED this. If he had the balls to complain, that would be absolutely wild. He straight up says that Childe was just a pawn on the grand stage he arranged, and Signora was a co-conspirator. 

Signora dying here (if she’s really dead) is massively disappointing and actually probably some of the worst writing Genshin has put out. 

Her role and also her death lacking build up is... Genshin typical. But it seems to have been done purely to hype Baal? Like, oh, Baal has been too passive, time to show that she’s a badass... except it’s pointless. 

I don’t even know what to say, but Genshin did manage to lower my opinion yet again, so there’s that. 

maybe I'm just being biased but yeah, I felt let down by the update. at least there's baal and sara to pull for ;w;

I hope you get them! 

Personally I think both their designs are dumb, so I’m hard pass on rolling for them.

♡︎ matchup for @hvnlydmn

hello, dear! aww, i'm so happy you think my matchups are something worth not missing. thank you for requesting, hopefully you enjoy this!

haikyuu: i match you with . . .

osamu miya !!

• under that calm exterior Osamu is competitive and has a small wild streak in him. you would do good in bringing out that side of him more often with your extroverted nature !!

• he finds your boldness and passion endearing and will help you keep your feet grounded in cases your impulsive tendancies might cause trouble for you.

• while your external demeanours differ, you hold the same core values which is incredibly important. like you, Osamu prefers being honest and will understand your point of view even though he might have a different opinion.

• that being said, you're both extremely patient and heated arguments take place only once in a blue moon. even then you manage to work out your differences quite fast.

• maybe it's because of your profile pic but i get the feeling you were a fan of Atsumu first, being part of the cheering squad in high school.

• you had no problem approaching either of the twins despite their popularity. they liked your confidence and energy so quickly accepted you.

• at first you wanted Osamu to help you get closer to Atsumu, but oops, along the way you two ended up falling for the other instead ! your personalities complimented each other, plus you had lots of common interests !

• i love how your first impression dynamic is the fun ray of sunshine x the quiet chill one even though y'all can be equally chaotic and observant ♡︎

• Osamu puts action over words and likes showing you his affection through small, casual touches as you go about your day. locking your fingers, putting his arm around your waist or shoulders, caresses of your cheek/head/hands.

• also, giving you massages after a tough day !! it's sweet and intimate while you can talk about anything and everything, or say nothing at all ♡( ◡‿◡ )

• insists being the one to brew you coffee. he knows his coffee is the best and it's what you deserve.

• playful teasing 23/7 (including snack breaks) just saying. having a brother like Atsumu has had its effects.

• Atsumu and you sometimes gang up and lovingly bully him. don't worry though, even against the two of you Samu can stand his ground (or be petty and give you a cold shoulder to tease you even more).

• though if someone else starts crossing the line while they're teasing you, Osamu will lowkey throw hands. he won't make a scene but anyone with the guts to brother you should be prepared to face pain the consequences.

• your dates often consist of visiting new restaurants/food booths, home-cooked dinner dates or picnics + hiking. sometimes he'll join working out with you.

❦︎ darkbox, timeskip

• it started with the little things: missed calls, skipped dinners, forgotten good-mornings. with Osamu busy with the restaurant and you having your hands full with your own job, your schedules only seemed to drift further apart.

• but then the words you exchanged irl became less frequent and finally the physical touch between you faded nearly into nonexistence because you hardly even saw each other.

• it was like a ticking time bomb. Osamu and you were aware of it but neither of you knew how to stop it.

• though you talked through messages and calls it just wasn't the same. stressed and worried, you did your best to remain calm, however this only made things worse.

• to you, it felt as though Osamu didn't care about your relationship anymore since he always looked and sounded the same, ever so nonchalant. yet in truth he was trying his hardest to look composed so you wouldn't worry.

• in the end, you both saw it best to take a 'break' until your careers became stable again. the saddest part: you did it for the other though neither of you wanted to.

• to forget your depression you became more involved in your work than before, up to the point of overworking yourself.

• meanwhile, Osamu, too, drowned himself in exhaustion. no matter how stoic he appeared it was clear he was all but focused. he kept wondering if you were okay, eating properly, getting enough sleep, or even if you wanted to start seeing someone else.

• worries if you'd rather have broken up with him for good because he wasn't good enough.

• thank goodness Atsumu, being the better and smarter twin™, called his brother out on his bs. too bad Osamu was a stubborn bastard and took forever to realise he loved you too much to be taking some 'pause' from you.

• his blood ran cold and his heart dropped to his stomach, however, when you weren't answering any calls or texts for days. you always answered him after a day at most.

• gosh, he was so anxious something had happened to you that he cancelled everything to rush to your place.

• it turned out you were taking a a week off from the world after too much work and getting sick. all well and good but the boy almost stumbled to his knees from the relief.

• instead, being himself, he just went: "stupid. ya really have a talent for getting yourself into situations like these."

• but thankfully you knew what he meant and how to comfort him. obviously you both fessed up that despite the problems you didn't want to be apart from each other again.

• from that incident onwards you agreed to always openly talk about your feelings. even if it meant being a little selfish, you knew the other would always be there for you ♡︎

𑁍 jewellery box

— favourite memory with you:

after a loss at an important game, you were the one to cheer him up. it was mid-autumn so the nature was filled with colours. you invited him out to rake leaves and jump into the heaps. Osamu thought it was ridiculous at first but couldn't help but smile at your sweet attempts to help him. you weren't together yet back then but it was definitely the moment he realised he felt something stronger for you than friendship ♡︎

— favourite activity to do together:

cooking and taste-testing! it's just so domestic. he gets to cook and spend quality time with you—what could be better? also, image standing in front of a stove, just cooking, when he comes up to you from behind, quietly wraps his arms around your waist and nuzzles your neck.

— favourite place to kiss you:

your forehead and neck. he jokes you're too short for him to reach your lips when he actually just loves the intimacy of it, same with your neck.

— favourite nicknames to call you by:

short-stack, plum, Ains. just your own nickname or something silly/teasing. he doesn't think having a nickname is that important.

— favourite thing about you:

how empathetic and understanding you are. many have gotten the wrong impression of him of being aloof before, so he loves you for caring to look further than meets the eye. not only with him but everyone else as well.

runner up: Kotarō Bokuto

this is my first time writing the extra additions so feedback is warmly welcome. remember to take care ♡︎

[multyfandoms-imagines]

Now on a less shitposty and more serious note (because I don't want to be in terms vicinity of the mario party game), knight of despair. Shall we round our magical girl headcanons out?

Actually the best Magical Girl to have, you know and i love her

TW: i am mentioning here selfhate and selfharm

Knights also need protection (Knight of Despair headcanons)

•silent, sad, depressed. Continue these qualities. This girl is just very depressed (in her name even :v)

•protects people in a hope that maybe in such broken state, she will be able to save a life

•is aware of her "evil" side and it just "sadness +100". KoD wont be happy any time soon

•actually, she would had been happy, if she met with Queen of Hatered and King of Greed for once. But, Knight is the only Magical Girl who is painfully aware that all 3 changed. Poor girl

•can someone hug her. She will appretiate it. Alot

•its rare to see KoD smile, but if she did to you, then you can call yourself "best employee™"

•dont you dare to hurt youself on purpose because she will have a panic attack for sure. Why. How. Did someone force you-

•please calm down, its Lobotomy Coporstion. Accidents happen. Abnormalities breach. People get hurt. Its a daily stuff you see in here

•remember how i said that Black Swam's Sister got low selfesteem? This girl is on a whole new level of selfhate. Not to the point of constantly hurting herself because of it, but Knight will 100% impale herself with her very own swords if she will turn evil and manages to get ahold of herself

•cries uncontrollably if she will spot her sisters being all evil. She just cant take it. Help this Knight for the love of all good and holy

•actually enjoys if you read her to sleep. Or tell stories. Happy stories. Happy books. So that KoD could somehow forget that evil side of her exists

•because of that depression 24/7, food doesnt taste good at all. But, if you really insist on trying something, she will eat

•there are actually constellations on her hair, cape and dress. Knight usually doesnt pay attention to it. But it may actually be a nice game to pass time, to find all possible onces here and there

•this baby needs alot of support. Pls show Knight of Despair that you care

[moniire]

All the classic author asks pls!!!

Okay, I didn’t imagine that someone would reply so quickly, but I suppose I have the time.

Mary Shelley: Were you a goth, prep, nerd, or jock in school?

I’m a nerd, as far as I’m aware. I have a little bit of goth in me, I suppose, but that part rarely rears its head in public.

Zora Neale Hurston: Do you write in your free time? If so, then what do you write?

I don’t write a lot as I’m incredibly fussy and I find it hard to come up with plots or make my writing flow. I do write some drabble occasionally, in the form of very short stories, but they rarely have an actual plot. It would be my dream to actually be able to finish a proper short story.

J.D. Salinger: What was the last movie you watched?

I’m pretty sure it was North by Northwest, but I don’t remember exactly.

Alice Walker: What was the first “adult” book you ever read?

The first properly graphic book I read was, I believe, A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I was 13 at the time.

Bram Stoker: Do you prefer suspenseful horror movies, gore, or jump scares?

I absolutely hate jumpscares. If you send me anything with jumpscares I will probably cry. But I immensely enjoy suspense and gore has never really phased me (apart from stuff with eyes). Many of my favourite shows and movies have a good mix of them. 

Oscar Wilde: What book have you read more than once?

Oh, hundreds of them. My favourite re-reads are probably the Howl series by Diana Wynne Jones. Childhood classics!

Beatrix Potter: Do you like reading inside or outside?

I’d say inside usually, but it honestly depends on the weather and location. A sunny bench in a quiet park? Sure, I’d go for it. But a rainy, crowded street? Perhaps not.

Ann Radcliffe: What’s something you’re known for among your friends or family?

There are a few things. Firstly, I’d say my height is a big one, at least on my mother’s side of the family. I’m really tall for my age - 6’ or thereabouts - and taller than everyone on my mother’s side. My grandparents on my father’s side have actually been measuring the family’s heights against a wall since the early 2000s. Seeing the progression is pretty cool.

Among my friends, I’d say either my speech patterns or my ability to remember little tidbits of information that I’ve been told years ago. Despite coming from an area with a very distinct, “non-posh” accent, I speak a lot of the time with an enunciated, stereotypically British accent. When I get angry or excited, I tend to speak with a slight Irish accent, and the list goes on. No idea where I picked this up, but it’s apparently very humorous. The latter is a bit of an inside joke, as normally my memory is quite bad. However, I occasionally come out with bits of information that people have no memory of telling me. There have luckily been only a few awkward situations due to this.

Lord Byron: What’s a negative quality that you can admit to having?

I’m very insensitive at times and have had multiple friends call me out on statements that I meant as jokes or constructive criticism, but they found incredibly hurtful. 

Edna St. Vincent Millay: Do you have a favourite poem or one you can recite?

La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats, The Orange by Wendy Cope, How Do I Love Thee (Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Browning and When You Are Old by Yeats are the ones that spring to mind.

The ones I can recite are La Belle Dame, Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy and most of the Relationships Anthology for GCSE English Lit. 

Jane Austen: Have you ever fallen in love?

That one’s difficult. I fall in love every day with places and things and experiences. With books and artworks and music. 

But I presume this means people. And honestly, I don’t know. I thought I was in love once, with a boy whom I met through a friend. He was beautiful and talented, but what stood out was that he could talk. I was sick of people who seemed to have no wider perspective or opinions, or, if they did, kept it firmly under lock and key. But he would always find a new topic to talk about, without me even needing to start a conversation. Art installations at our local gallery, religious ideology, politics, music. And it was wonderful. 

I spoke with him for maybe 30 minutes a month at most, with the rare exception of protests or marches, but they were bright and intriguing and he made me feel like I’d swallowed a star every time I saw him.

But alas, it came to an end as all good things do. We drifted and, since he didn’t seem to text, we stopped speaking almost altogether.

But was I in love? I still don’t know

Langston Hughes: If you could be part of a literary era, which one?

I feel like this is predictable but the Romantic/Gothic era (1780s - 1830s) because, whilst I’ll admit that women’s rights most definitely were non-existent, it has to be my favourite one literary-wise

Emily Dickinson: What’s the last book you were reading?

Blackhearts in Battersea by Joan Aiken. I wanted something quick and nostalgic for a change.

John William Polidori: What was the last book you finished?

See above answer

Stendhal: Have you ever hid a book you were reading because you were embarrassed? 

When I originally read the ASOIAF series, I, of course, had to read it in school as well, because I wasn’t switching books for school and for home and I obviously needed something to read at lunch. Scared of getting judged by peers or getting the book confiscated by teachers, I hid it in the dust jacket of another book. I can’t remember which, but, surprisingly, it worked.

Charles Dickens: What book are you currently reading?

E. H. Gombrich’s A Little History of the World. Again, written for children, but one I immensely enjoy and very informative on a wide variety of countries. 

Thomas Hardy: Are you a city or country person?

I want to say a mix of both. I love the city I live in and its bustle and shops and life, but I also love the countryside with its greenery and cosy intimacy. I do hate the insects though.

Virginia Woolf: What book has been on your TBR longer than a year?

Pride & Prejudice. I just haven’t gotten around to it, though I’m sure I will soon.

And finally…

Edith Wharton: What’s your favourite season for reading?

Winter, easily. Curling up to read is hard if you’re all sweaty and can’t concentrate on the words because of it. Winter gives me an excuse to pile on the jumpers and blankets, heat up the hot chocolate and just read. Plus, winter often means visits to Ireland to see my grandparents, who have the cosiest living room ever, which doubles as my all-time favourite reading environment. 

That was quite a task. I might have gone off on one in some of these, but I hope this answers it all nicely.

Pls take all the time you need and take care of yourself. You are priority! Really appreciate this and looking forward to reading it once it's up. Thank you so so much!**

Hii!! 

Oh i’m glad you enjoyed expressing yourself! 

Don’t worry, I take care of myself well <3 

Okay so I was thinking a lot and I had to make a hard decision. You’d be a good match to several characters, including but not limited to Beel, Simeon, Satan and Lucifer. 

But I also see it work out with Mammon! 

Out of the two of you, you are the more socially anxious and the less outgoing, but theres no shame in that. It just balances out the relationship, as Mammon will go out with you on the regular. 

I think he would be surprised to see you fall silent if his brothers are there too, but you seem to be doing fine when it’s just the two of you. He just thinks it’s because he is so great.

Oh he is also a scaredy cat, so this is a very cute couple. Whenever you watch a horror movie Mammon pretends to be chill but really both of you are scared to death. (Levi is going to tease the two of you a lot because of that)

Mammon can handle some sass, so that’s not a turn-off at all! 

He also tends to speak his mind, but he is anything but careful about his words, or at least not until you confront him about that. 

This demon really wants a loyal partner, I mean you are basically his only true friend. The relationship would be like being best friends, siblings, and partners at the same time because of that. 

Well he is not the biggest foodie out there and you hanging out too much with Beel will surely make the greedier one jealous. So make sure he trusts you a lot! 

The fact that you get intellectual stimulation from your job means Mammon isn’t under pressure to keep you stimulated that way. So he makes sure all the other ways are also taken care of ;)

Also he would be really curious about your job. He would probably ask you directly how much you make. 

I think Mammon finds it a cute human thing to always try to improve yourself and become better. He might tease you about that though. 

He appreciates your career-orientedness, I mean you have to make cash, right? 

He might think your job is nothing you’d be able to get in the Devildom though (depends on the worldbuilding we don’t know much about..) so he might be a bit concerned about that. So that is why you need to become a model, thanks for listening to my presentation!

I think you share many similar hobbies, which is a good bonus! Going to karaoke together is always fun, right? he might not be too keen on joining you on your shopping tour, but it’s not like he would let you go with just Asmo. again, jealousy is something to talk about. 

His love language definitely includes gifts, so that’s also good! But you said you can adapt to your partners needs, which is why you’d be good with many. Aslo it’s good it’s handmade with sentimental attachment, thats not very easy to sell so he probably wouldn’t. (but watch out for that)

I think Mammon loves to hear that he is a good boy. 

He’s the best candidate to be cutesy and clingy with, and it’s nice that it’s not a turn off for you. This is the couple that is glued by the hips 24/7. 

As I elborated before, Mammon is going to be your best friend for life, you can trust him to support you though anything, even if it seems stupid for everyone else. On that note, hopefully you are prepared to support his ideas! I mean they are silly, most of the time, but they also work. 

Hmmm I think Mammon shouldn’t have too much trouble to commit to you, I mean he is as clingy as one can get and he also has jealousy issues. You might feel like you are married even before the actual proposal - but I mean it in a good way! 

Theres not many conflicts that could arise in this relationship, but you are skilled enough to communicate your needs and wants properly, and Mammon might not get it right the first time - but he is not going to stop until he steals your heart!
