[the-star-hunter]

A vent piece. Hoooo boy, where do I even begin... The years haven't been kind to me. (Or to the very few I love and trust, honestly). Especially mid to late 2022 and even the beginning of 2023. From Covid, breaking my ankle, undergoing surgery to fix said ankle... it's been hell. Yet, my friends- or, those I thought were my friends, being there helped me through it all. Now, I didn't have many people I trust to begin with, but I did have a small handful- albeit our communication tended to be on-and off. Yet, I had known most of them for, well- a decade. Not gonna say any names or list everything I went through with these people, but they all used to mean a lot to me- yet they've since revealed their true colors... They all didn't care about me... they only used me for, example; clout, to blatantly copy off me plus my bf's designs w/o credit, tried using me to fulfill their twisted fantasies, misgendered me, recorded me w/o my permission, put me/my art down, ignored/disrespected me and/or my boyfriend almost on the daily, flirted with me despite being taken, and/or used me for my art (even ignoring me unless I drew them something) among many, many other things... One of them even told me straight to my face that they only became 'friends' with me all those years ago because they wanted art from me. ... and, proceeded to throw me away after treating me and even my boyfriend like garbage because I wouldn't blindly side with them when they were the one in the wrong, claiming to be the victim when they were the toxic, manipulative one- even complaining to me when my boyfriend vented about the situation and claiming he made it 'public' when, in reality, it was all private and only him, myself, and another mutual of my boyfriend's could see it. They even got as petty as copying our art, breaking numerous rules of my T.O.S, and being outright offensive to the LGBTQ+... likely just to spite us. Some of the other 'friends'? Well... besides exhibiting rude behavior (most I already mentioned), let's just say they revealed they were were into illegal things- underage things. Sometimes even deceased underage things. Along with drawing such things along with de-aging characters and proceeding to draw... well, you get the point. Another even enabling and defending some of this friend's creepy/rude behavior (some things including recording me/others without consent, creepily flirting with me, ignoring me unless I made gift art, acting passive aggressive especially when confronted, and many more crappy things) and attempting to defend at-length about why being into such sick things is 'okay'; how 'morality is a social construct and the only real thing in the way is the law'... To me. A CSA survivor. Yeah. I just wished I realized how little I mattered to these 'friends', especially with being made aware of those who had nasty interests, way sooner. Besides everything that's happened though... so far 2023 has, thankfully, has been great so far, and I'm hoping it stays that way. I've had enough of drama and being used, and only wish to live my life with my amazing and supportive boyfriend veevee-8283 that I love so very much. He's stuck by me thru all of these awful times, and is someone I couldn't imagine living without. And thanks anyone who took the time out of your probably busy day to read me ramble about all this waaaa

How to speak to your IH toddler

I read Sera's thread on twitter (owner of @/hashtagartistlife) about how absurd and childish ih's way of thinking is.

source, specifically this one and this

She's so right. They defend arguable human interaction just for the sake of being right, based on their own perception, not taking into consideration the other person and the narrative.

So, I imagined what would happen if an IR was babysiting an ih toddler during a random everning.

So here you go

-B-but what if I really really love someone and I want to kiss him, even if he is asleep, it's not selfish, right ? Because I really really love him.

-You see, sweetie : there is something called the other person in front of you. He's another soul with feelings and opinions that can be different from yours and for him to accept or refuse your feelings, he has to be awake.

-But what if I really really love him like a lot !

-Even if your love is the purest that ever existed, he has every right to refuse it.

-O-oh I see. But what if he's secretly in love with me and he secretly wants to kiss me too. It it is not bad, right ?

-Come here cutie pie. Let me explain something to you. There is something called consent and you have to know that sexual harassment can happen within couples

-w-what really ?

-Yes ! Even when you're married to someone, you have to ask his consent before a sexual act and even before kissing. You can't kiss someone when he's angry, minding his own business or sleeping. Kissing's a mutual experience and that what makes it special

-But, I didn't kiss him so it's not bad !

-Loving someone is usually a noble feeling but attempting to kiss an unconscious person not really.

-But it is romantic, right ?

-... what did we agree on..

-The person in front of me is an individual who is not obligated to understand my intentions. I should take into consideration his individuality just like I take into consideration my own feelings. What I consider to be romantic can be perceived malicious by the other person and I don't have any right to be offended by it.

-There you go ! Good boy, **patting his head**

-A-and what about being revived from death to protect the one you love ? This is so sweet !

-Well, as long as the first thing he does after being revived is not blasting you, then you're right. It could be.

-Ohh o-okay..

-But, let me ask you something, sweetheart. When you ask a corpse to save people, is it good or bad ?

- W-well it depends if it's a corpse of a normal human or a corpse of a supernatural warrior who can revive himself and can save himself and others.

-No sweetie. That's not how you should answer. What ever was the corpse he was still a person who had hopes and dreams and waaaas ..

-Another human being other than myself

-Aaand ..

-Who is not entitled to me .

-Yes and he had experienced enormous pain in his last agony. Being killed is an atrocious experience and asking a dead person to save people is like saying the pain he suffered is worthless and the existence of thoses who are still living is more valuable than his.

-oh mmh..

-Well, I know you don't have bad intentions, my cutie pie, but this is how it is percieved.

-B-but at the end, I triggered his revival and made him save everyone just like he wants so I did something good, right ?

-Okay, let's do it again, one last time. What is the meaning of "good" ?

-Something that is beneficial for oneself

-aaaand ?

-... for the person other than me.

-There you go ! Thanks to this revival trigger, you were safe but what did the other peson feel about it ?

-He asked the enemy who basically killed him to cut his arm and leg which is clearly suicidicial and that he means he would rather stay dead and endanger my life than accept my unwanted revival trigger.

- I'm so proud of you. You made so much progress !

-O-ok and what about liking and eating breads together ?

-Aaaalright !! Time to go to bed !! You've learned enought today. Come on, take you cookie. Tomorrow, we are going to learn about respecting people's privacy and the danger of revolving your goals around someone instead of building your own self esteem.

- B-but w-what if I really really love him !

-Sweetheart, go to sleep. We're going to talk it through tomorrow

Fruits Basket, Se03. ep 5,(part 1)

In part 1 of this post, more than analyzing, I want to understand few confusing things first. I’m not annoyed or angry, I’m just confused & trying to piece things together, so, kindly don’t feel off with my usage of  (!!!) & (???). lol. I’ll ONLY discuss two things here that confuse me a lot. ( Real ep review/ analysis will be in part 2)

1- Momiji’s romantic love for tohru (the real love triangle). What?!!!!!

I’m so shocked that momiji loves tohru romantically! So, in order to understand ( where did this come from!!) I re-visited his scenes with tohru since se01 & trying to see if I missed anything! Below is my speculations:

Is it love at first sight?!!! When Momiji first met tohru he kissed her on the cheek. I’ve always thought lightly that in the eyes of the reserved Japanese (bowing is greeting), all Europeans (kissing on the check is greeting). hence, Momiji’s kiss, he’s half Europea. However, perhaps it is a Kureno/ Arisa type of love at 1st sight/kiss?! kureno nearly kissed Arisa on the lips on their 1st official meeting. But Kureno/Arisa kiss was meant to be romantic/sexual with adult kureno’s “ I wanted to taste her lips”. but Momiji’s is a peak on the cheek & he was a child, so... I don’t think he’s struck by love before he’s officially introduced to us the audience.

Is it gradual growing love like kyo’s ? in all Momiji/ tohru eps, he always just wanted to play with her, visit places & spend time together.  (hot spring & beach vacation) are his own ideas. But momiji didn’t want tohru exclusively. He intentionally invited both yuki & kyo to the hot spring & even was begging kyo to come. He invited all zodiacs to the beach & wanted all to spend time together. I believe that the hot spring ep especially showed momiji as this playful, innocent & naive kid, wanting to share tohru’s females’ hot spring section. I don’t think momiji was madly in love at that time. He was a child going “ waaaa~, kyo hit me” &  jumping here & there. 

So, summer vacation? but then again, Momiji slept with the children & tohru doted on them all. He defended tohru but they all defend her & love her. he said to kyo that he “selfishly wanted to be with tohru” but I didn’t  catch any romantic hints from that. Was it really that time?? they all wanted to spend time with tohru. Yuki said “ I’ll kidnap you”, kyo agreed to go to the beach right away, kisa was glued to her to the point of annoying hiro! So, when? & why not let us as the audience know abt momiji’s feelings.

Is it related to opening up to tohru abt his family issues? He confessed to tohru abt his dad, mom & momo. She cried for him & hugged him. I never got the feeling in all those scenes that he was in love! it seemed to me like friendship love similar to hana’s/Arisa’s or siblings love substituting his nonexistent relationship with momo.

Is it just me?? I always saw momiji as this baby in toddler clothes, jumping, laughing & a ray of sunshine! A child but with the most mature heart & mind. Tohru didn’t help momiji, he was already helping himself first & reaching healthy conclusions abt how he should deal with his own traumas. So, perhaps (Me) not seeing him as a teenager stopped me from seeing his romantic love? but they showed me hiro/kisa’s love. Elementary school kids! so?

Regardless of when he fell in love or how, the point is, this is heart-breathtakingly tragic! cuz (a) tohru never saw him more than a child at first, then as a precious friend, (b) she’s intensely in love with kyo, which brings us to tohru’s core issues. (Tohru loosing yet another loved one). Tohru’s own issues aren’t fully explored yet, but her love for kyo has been blatantly hammered to us since se01 finale! this is because kyo being locked in the cat room equals (death) which parallels her mom’s (death). Tohru will be living her tragic trauma again but this time, kyo replacing kyoko! Thus, giving tohru a room for growth & character development.Tohru’s intense love for kyo was shown in by the drastic change in her attitude in se01, ep.24, chasing firmly after him even when he pushed her & refusing to let go until he’s back home cuz she wants to! then yuki blatantly saying “ she loves him, too, the way she looks at him“  im se02, ep22 & “don’t worry, tohru, he won’t accept (the other girls confession)” in se02, ep 17 & all her scenes with kyo in that ep where she’s scared he’ll let go of her & other scenes throughout the 3 seasons.

...so why momiji’s impossible & unrequited love is introduced?

I believe it is to push kyo to not let go of tohru. To throw kyo into this internal conflict between selflessly letting go of tohru so she could be happy (like hatori did with kana) & selfishly wanting her to be his lover ( like haru). Kyo himself expressed these two conflicting thoughts in se02, ep, 9 “ I hoped we could always be together somewhere  far off (selfish love) & “ I don’t want to take anything from you (selfless love). So, momiji is challenging kyo in a way making him realize that selfish love might not be bad afterall & selfless love could be harmful! cleverly reversing the two concepts. So, I get why this love triangle was introduced. but whyyyy momiji! T_T.. choose someone else, Writer-San! poor Momiji we learned abt his love the same ep we learned it hopeless & he can’t pursue! T_T. couldn’t you at least put the two scenes far away, so I get time to grieve his broken heart! T_T.

2- Yuki/Machi ( Yuki is in a such hurry!!!!)

You could use the analogy of yuki’s starting the story as a (baby/child) taken cared by his mother (tohru) who taught him to be a person (all se01), Yuki took this knowledge  as a (kid/teenager) & formed friendship on his own with (kakeru) in (se02). it is not after yuki became a true equal friend to kakeru, chocking him & equally teasing him, that Machi was allowed to talk abt her self as a real character with agency & thoughts (se02, ep24), now yuki must be a (teenager/Man) & fall romantically in love, hence (se03, eps 2 & 3). All this is amazing. So, I kinda expected the following:

yuki won’t take as long as kyo in confessing/ realizing romantic love since he/machi don’t have a shared baggage nor obstacles from the past.

 he won’t be as fast as haru’s “ i love you/ kiss/ make love”. But then again, Haru & Isuzu have already known each other for years & are already in love, they just put a name to their desires & went on with it.

So, yuki should be in the middle, noticing, knowing abt the person, crushing, then realizing love & wanting a future together! Cuz yuki is this type of person who values taking time thinking thoroughly, right??

I’m confused as yuki wanted to confess the curse & to be with machi romantically right after the machi background scene? I know not everything should be on-screen & him falling slowly in love could be off-screen...  the flower is a yuki/machi “ noticing her stage”, her fighting with him over the red leaf is “ noticing him stage” for her. but there’s only ONE intimate scene of them together! Her raw tears when he comforted her in her flat (the chalk scene is bonus). but.. I never expected that yuki is planning to confess his curse & feelings this early!!!!!! yuki! are you SURE she loves you? ( I mean we the audience know 100%) but how is HE sure?? yuki going this big stage so soon felt a bit un-yuki. but then agin, perhaps that’s part of the new changed confident yuki? I duno, I mean Machi was never given a proper time to prosper, but yuki was always given all the time there is to explore his feelings & even other ppl’s feelings! He’s there in kyo/tohru ‘s story to tells the audience they’re in love, he’s there in Isuzu/ haru to mend their gap. I mean yeah there gotta be more scenes abt them for sure, we’re in ep 5, but I never expected a the intruppted confession now & this soon!

perhaps it’s just me, again?! Maye I’m so invested in yuki & accustomed to him always taking time that I kinda expected more before he’s thinking of confessing. I really thought that confessing his curse/love is yuki/machi’s own story climax compared to kyo/tohru’s story climax with kyoko & Isuzu/Haru story climax after breakup, oh well. I’m positive we’ll see more of yuki’s journey with machi as yuki is rarely absent in any eps. More scenes to come!

That’s the end of my headache! XD. I apologize for giving you headache if you were kind enough to read all this. kindly, don’t spoil future scenes or sub-plots to me. I’m just expressing my shock at how fast the plot moved! just few eps ago, I was watching motoko love journey that survived 3 seasons! Hands down Motoko wins in furuba! XD. Jokes aside, Can I say we’re officially where “the plot thickens?” Is it going down? This ep felt like a bullet train!

Side Notes:

I never liked the “children in deep love theme” that hiro has as children shouldn’t suffer the romantic pining & suffering as teenagers & adult ppl,  so, I really appreciated that Momimi altho was 15 when we 1st saw him, lived his childhood without the “oh my! I’m so in love~ pining~ suffer”.

The story introduced ( momoiji in romantic love) the same ep Momiji got tall, so making it as sth he expressed once he hit puberty like most boys his age. He even said it “ I’m a man now”, which is again sth boys feel once they get taller & experience other feelings.

Momiji never catches a break! T_T. My son is denied the types of love he wants (parental love, sibling love & now romantic love! ).

I don’t picture momiji/tohru together as a couple cuz it wasn’t built that way in the story & most of their moments weren’t romantic/sexual tension. to me it was the ultimate friendship!

I wish my son finds love on-screen! If Moyoko/Nao gets on-screen love, give my boy on-screen love, too!

Nah~ forget that~ I’m just sad for my son, I don’t want to see him paired with any character quickly to compensate him not having tohru. This is not doing momiji justice. So, I get the ED art of him with Momo.

If kyo has someone who loves him one-sidedly (Kagura), tohru now has someone who love her one-sidedly (momiji).

The kagura/kyo confrontation was heart breaking, but it had to happen cuz kyo knew she loved him & had to stop her. I hope Momiji never confesses to tohru, I wouldn’t be able to survive seeing tohru turn him down.Tohru & momiji are just too kind for such sad situation.

So, does this mean that the two characters with unrequited love are Kagura & momiji? they’re the only characters with no romantic partner in the ED.

Hana is without a lover in the ED, too! XD. Thank God! I love her crush on kazuma, cuz hello~ who won’t crush on this hunk! & teenage girls can crush on grown up men rather than boys (I know I did, but it was just my girlish crush). I’m thankful it is just a crush & teasing kyo tactics & not true romance! don’t give me another Arisa/Kureno, plz. lol.

❝ I tease her cause I love her.❞

Plot: You are Heechul’s girlfriend and are 20cm shorter than him. The other suju members always tease her & heechul will always defend her but the truth is he like to tease you too when nobody is around

Pairing: Heechul x Reader

Words count: 1.3k+

Genre: Fluffy

For anon, I hope you like it! 

-kyu.

Gif isn’t mine, credits to the owner!

‘How do you even reach things, Y/N?’ A member teased.

‘We should get you a ladder for your birthday.’ Another added.

‘Shut up, Kyu.’ You pouted, ‘It’s not my fault I am short.’

‘Then what?’ Kyuhyun asked with a raised brow.

‘Ahhhh genetics maybe?’ You look at him.

A heart chuckle left Cho Kyuhyun’s lips, ‘Nice try, Y/N, but I do know that both your parents are tall and so is your brother.’

‘Do I need to spray you with the hose again, Kyu?’ A voice cut in the conversation.

And as if it was on queue, in walked the love of your life. Kim Heechul always seemed to be at the right place at the right time. Your height was something that always got people teasing you. It honestly wasn't your fault and people generally tended to just look over it. But with a tall boyfriend like Heechul, people were bound to see the 20cm height difference.

‘Oppa!’ You yell, running into his arms.

‘Is my little kitten being harassed by our evil maknae?’ Heechul asked, cuddling you in a hug.

‘Gross.’ Kyuhyun rolled his eyes, ‘And I wasn't the only one teasing her. Leeteuk hyung is also here!’

‘Then I will spray you both with a hose!’ Heechul defended, ‘Stop teasing Y/N!’

‘Aish, you are no fun Heechul.’ Leeteuk grumbled to himself.

‘What’s that?’ Heechul held a hand to his ear, ‘Talking to yourself already Teukie? Jeez I thought we still had time before the old age set in.’

‘We are technically the same age!’ Leeteuk defended, ‘You are a few days younger then me.’

‘Physically yes, but your mentality is way in it 60’s.’ A cackle left the younger’s lips.

‘Aish, let’s go Kyu,’ Leeteuk tugged the younger, ‘You are lucky your prince in shining armour came to your rescue, Y/N.’

Closing the door, Heechul pulled out his tongue at them. Yeah his mental age was way in its adolescence but his childish qualities is what made him most lovable. You still had your arms around his waist as he used looked down at you with a sweet smile on his face before smirking and bending towards you.

‘Aigoo,’ He pretended to complain, ‘I will have back issues by the end of 35 because of you Jagi.’

And there we go,You roll your eyes and step away from his touch, ‘Then eat more vegetables.’

Truth of the matter is, as much as Heechul was your knight in shining armour, he was also your pain in the ass. He was quick to defend your honour but quicker to tease you back. The one thing that made you fall for Kim Heechul was his childish quality, a quality that he used a lot since the two of you had started dating, and what a long three years it has been so far.

‘I’m only teasing sprite,’ His affectionate nickname coming into play.

‘I hate that name and you know it.’ A pout on your lips.

‘But it’s adorable, like sprites are cute and tiny but just as sassy and devilish.’ He pointed out, ‘And you, my little jagi, are just as devilish as I am expect you play the innocent card way to often.’

‘I hate you.’ You felt his lips on yours.

‘I love you too, now lets go.’ He grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the cafeteria.

Grabbing the food you wanted, you both said thank you to the ladies who served your food before walking to the table were the rest of the Super Junior members sat. Leeteuk, Kyuhyun and Yesung sat on one side with Shindong and Sungmin on the other. Shifting down, they allowed some room for the both of you to join.

‘Should we find a table that allows your feet to touch the ground Y/N?’ Yesung held back a laugh.

‘Or maybe one that has a lower table?’ Kyuhyun chipped in.

‘No guys, stop,’ Leeteuk ended the banter to your surprise, ‘We should have eaten at a place that allowed kids to eat free.’

‘Yah!’ A spoon went flying across the table, ‘My girlfriend is not a child.’

‘Her height could beg to differ.’ Kyuhuyn snickered.

‘I will punch you maknae.’ Heechul’s eyes narrowed.

‘Like you could ever.’ Kyuhyun challenged as the elder stood up and rolled up his none existent sleeves.

‘Stop,’ You pulled Heechul back down, ‘He has a point Chullie.’

The other members chuckled, ‘You are lucky she saved your ass now, Kyuhyun, next time you might not be so lucky.’

‘Sure,’ He rolled his eyes before Heechul pointed his chopsticks at them.

‘Now leave, my beaut and I would like to dine alone.’

‘But-’

‘Get going!’

Just shaking their heads, the other stood up and left. They had all finished their food anyway so it was only logical to leave. Alone at the table, you wanted a serviette that was on the end of the table. One would be able to reach for it in a jiffy, but you weren't like everyone else. You didn't wanna reach cause you knew Heechul would start his teasing again.

‘I know you need the serviette.’ Heechul cut your thought, ‘Would you like one my little sprite?’

‘Would you stop call me that?’

‘Nope.’

Not winning this argument, you allowed Heechul to grab it for you and lovingly wipe the side of your mouth. Bending down, he placed a kiss on your forehead. Heechul was an asshole at times, but loving just as much. Finishing up, the both of you walked to the studio but you lingered slightly back cause you had gotten a phone call.

‘Where is Y/N?’ Sungmin asked.

‘Probably still coming, you know her short legs can’t keep up with us taller people.’ Shindong said.

‘She is actually on her phone.’ Heechul pointed out, ‘Stop with the teasing, it’s getting old now, we have been together long enough for the short jokes to run out.’

‘Short jokes will never run out, we do it with Ryeowook all the time and its been more then 10 years.’ Leeteuk explained. ‘Plus, don’t act all innocent, we know you tease her as well.

‘I tease her cause I love her.’ Heechul defended as you stopped by the doorway and listened in,

‘And we love her as well.’ Kyuhyun stood next to Leeteuk, ‘And before you kill us, we love here in a brotherly manner.’

Your heart grew ten times in size. You loved the boys and treasured them very much. The teasing did use to get irritating but you figured it was how they showed love. Truth be the matter, you never had brothers so they fitted the roll quiet well. Smiling, you walked in and wrapped your arms around Heechul’s waist.

‘WAAAA THERE IS A LITTLE CHILD HERE!’ Yesung pointed at Heechul.

‘Ha-ha-ha, very funny,’ Sarcasm laced in your voice, releasing Heechul and standing where they can all see you.

‘Y/N! Where are you !?’ Shindong pretended to look on his eye level before getting a death stare from Heechul, ‘Okay okay I will stop.’

‘I heard what you guys said.’ You admit. ‘I love you all as well and if that is how you show your love then I will not ask you to stop. But there is one thing I have to ask from Heechul.’

‘And that is?’

‘STOP CALLING ME SPRITE!’
