prev snippet

“Isn’t that what best friends are for? Lending an ear, or a shoulder? Or a hand?” he nods at the microwave. “It’s no big deal, Eddie. Let me be here for you.” he adds, knowing that Eddie will start feeling like he’s oversharing and burdening Buck, and he’s going to withdraw into himself, changing the subject to something light and surface-level. Buck knows, because he knows Eddie, and because he can be the same way sometimes. “So, Chris is happy with having Shannon around. But how does it feel for you?” he asks, since Eddie’s neglected to mention anything, aside from saying that it’s weird. Eddie looks at him with an amazed and grateful expression. As if after so many months he’s still surprised that Buck wants to be there for him. He supposes it is still a new friendship, it hasn’t even been a full year since they met, but he knows he’s not the only one who feels this connection so intensely. Ever since he got over his childish hostility at the beginning and actually started to get to know Eddie, he’s felt like they’ve always known each other. He hopes it’s the same for Eddie.

“Uh, it’s weird and awkward for me. Especially since we’re getting a divorce, so we’re kind of… threading the line of being strictly co-parents." He takes another sip. “The thing is, we’ve never really done this before – living together, without any arguing, being all domestic, talking about dinner and our days, and- and raising our kid together… We’ve never done this. She did it all by herself when I was gone, and then I was doing it by myself when she left. We’ve been married for eight years, and yet- we’re such a poor excuse for a married couple.” he chuckles bitterly. “I don’t know why I was so sure we could save this. I don’t even know how to act in my own house right now.”

do you have any general headcanons about bsd that you're fond of? sort of alternatively, any interesting tidbits about the irl authors to share? your blog has taught me a lot, maybe even a bit against my will 💀 irl authors were so funny ANYWAY ty so much for oversharing because i enjoy it a lot!!

I've been chewing on how to answer this because I have so many headcanons I'm so fond of, but it felt too self-indulgent to pour headcanons on you when I could offer facts as an alternative.

I post what I learn because it excites me, but also because I think it's wrong to have the resources I do without striving to share them. Since I haven't been writing fic like I used to, analyses and factual deep cuts are also all I have to offer the community in return for the joy this media brings me. It's not what everyone always wants, but it's the only other way I know how to engage.

That said, at least this time, I'm going to share several of my headcanons (some of which are theories) instead. But, so that I'm not completely wasting anyone's time, I'll also include one (1) Akutagawa fact at the end, if only because I think it's devastating 🧡

the Executives

Chuuya and Verlaine have a monthly standing appointment with each other to smoke and drink Bordeaux and wax poetic in French in Verlaine's depression hovel. It's a pretense for Verlaine to tell Chuuya about Rimbaud, and for Chuuya to listen and remember so that he can be the edifying stele Rimbaud's grave wasn't afforded.

It's also so they can vent, gush, and gossip.

Kouyou and Verlaine both want to dress Chuuya and bicker over it, especially ahead of formal events and special occasions. Chuuya and Verlaine are closer in taste, so Verlaine often prevails, but where Chuuya won't accept Verlaine's suggestions without inserting his own street urchin, delinquent flourishes, every so often he allows Kouyou to dress, accessorize, and accent him to her heart's desire (especially if she hasn't seen Kyouka in some time).

Chuuya does not, ever, listen to or humor Mori's wardrobe suggestions.

When the Executives convene for a meeting requiring conensus or a quorum, Mori places a maneki-neko in the seat reserved for Dazai as a proxy. (It used to be in Dazai's seat all of the time, but it was repeatedly vandalized, so now Mori otherwise stores it in his desk.)

Chuuya is a workaholic who's leisure is often occupied by engagement with interests relevant to his professional development; Kouyou maintains strict boundaries around her leisure time (namely spent on or to provide for Kyouka), and Mori is only not-working when he's spoiling Elise, although he usually works through that too.

As a result, Chuuya and Mori spend the most time together, and Chuuya is so used to co-working with Mori in Mori's office that he forgets it's not also his.

Chuuya maintains the Port Mafia's relationships with foreign syndicates, contacts, and illicit trading partners. This is for several reasons: he's a polyglot, and it furthers and maintains his other languages; Kouyou thinks it's good for him to practice diplomacy and negotiation; Mori is aware the organization prefers Chuuya as his heir and wants him well established with their business partners should Chuuya succeed him; Chuuya has friends in Europe he enjoys visiting when the role requires travel; and it deters malicious foreign interest in the Port of Yokohama since Chuuya reminds those who don't consider Japan a world power in the aftermath of the Great War that Yokohama is stewarded by a hot tempered guard dog who can control the most astronomically influential fundamental force theorized by physics.

Chuuya's half-mullet is a reference to both Verlaine's side ponytail and Kouyou's half-bangs.

Mori is asexual.

the Agency

The Agency office has a spare room that Fukuzawa has furnished and decorated to be a relaxing reprieve for mindful repose. The Zen room, colloquially. Dazai uses it to masturbate at work, Ranpo uses it as a spare pantry, Yosano has appropriately pointed out it should be a lactation room for accessibility and equity but uses it to read and write erotica when bored, Kunikida uses it for the nervous breakdowns he doesn't want the others to see (and to smoke), Kenji has never once needed it, Tanizaki and Naomi use it for unspeakable acts, Kyouka uses it for shikantaza as Fukuzawa intended, and Atsushi isn't aware it exists.

Atsushi isn't allowed to have prolonged screen time because Kunikida thinks he's too impressionable, which is why Kunikida won't let him have a smartphone or a tablet. He's going to be very annoyed when he learns that Ango allowed Atsushi to use his tablet unsupervised during the Hunting Dogs arc.

Atsushi doesn't know about bills, pensions, or investment portfolios because Kunikida is maintaining his for him without him noticing. (Kunikida intends to teach him about each and transition small responsibilities, but only once Atsushi turns 20.)

Kunikida also maintains Dazai's, or at least he tries. Dazai keeps finding the accounts and draining them on sake, gambling, elaborate attempts to tease others, and impulse purchases.

I do not think Dazai has any savings from the Port Mafia; I think he spent what he had during the two years he was in hiding, and that he's never been capable of resisting ridiculous purchases for elaborate machinations. Like, he once paid a man who took the same train as Kunikida every day to stand near Kunikida and sneeze without covering his mouth at the exact same time every day for almost a year. Then, on a day when Kunikida had several important meetings, Dazai asked the man to sneeze 37 seconds later than usual. It ruined Kunikida's entire day; he had to take paid time off to recover from the aftermath.

Yosano treats Kunikida like a little brother and nurtures and chides him. She doesn't baby him, though, because he responds best when he has high expectations to meet and because he externalizes his frustration in a way she genuinely doesn't have the patience to tolerate. This is to his benefit; it humbles him and keeps him from becoming too condemnatory and punitive.

Dazai and Yosano slept together when he first joined the Agency. They haven't since, but they have a mutual understanding that she can and does use (i) his self-flagellating, psychosexual attraction to her and (ii) his habit of objectifying competent, compassionate women as victims of his attraction to manipulate him for his self improvement and her sometimes sexual gratification. He's usually fine with it; she doesn't when he isn't.

They're also aware that they sometimes remind the other of Mori (well before they became aware of each other's pasts with him) so they maintain a level of emotional and physical distance to protect themselves and each other. Mostly, this distance is pre-calculated and mutually respectful. But sometimes it's not; sometimes, it's punitive and petty.

Yosano and Dazai have never explicitly negotiated any of the above, nor have they ever needed to. This is another way in which they remind each other of Mori, and so their synchronity ensures their distance.

Atsushi thinks Kyouka is under his care, but Kyouka and the rest of the Agency know that he's under hers.

Tanizaki's feigned harmlessness is to deflect attention and scrutiny, but it's also part of his 24/7 BDSM relationship with Naomi.

Dazai is the only stray cat Fukuzawa knows better than to smother, which is why Dazai may wander but will always slink his way home.

Atsushi's selectively acute perceptiveness into the hearts of others renders Dazai unusually vulnerable and bare in such a way that Dazai covets. But it's also why Dazai frets enough about Atsushi's perception of him that he changed clothes before seeking him out and tried to explain himself at the end of Dead Apple. That Atsushi didn't need him to is why Dazai wanted to; Atsushi engenders a drive in others to meet his faith in them energetically and with sincerity. He has no idea that he has this impact on others; which is why Lucy and Akutagawa also want to drown him.

There are enough spare dorms that Kyouka and Atsushi don't need to share; Fukuzawa, Ranpo, Yosano, Kunikida, and Dazai just all agreed that Atsushi and Kyouka would be happier and do better if maintained as a pair. And Dazai thought it would be funny to lie.

etc., Etc.

Kouyou speaks, acts, and dresses like an oiran in reference to irl!Kyouka's favorite and most consistent character archetype. Non-coincidentally, irl!Kyouka's preference for writing seductive, powerful, maternal, victimized, narratively damned women characters was Oedipal in nature.

Dazai's skill, like Kyouka's, was transferred to him, which is why he's incapable of controlling it as effectively as other touch-based skill users like Hirotsu and Chuuya control theirs. Dazai's skill was transferred to him by Natsume and is a fragment of Natsume's own skill (his nine lives, so to speak).

Skills are shaped by and manifest in response to their users' intense and often unmet or insecure needs and desires. Much like any coping mechanism, they're constructs as deeply ingrained as personalities once formed.

Kyouka and Dazai's limited control over their abilities is a psychological barrier rather than a matter of in-universe physics.

Atsushi is the white tiger, Akutagawa is the azure dragon, Dazai is the black tortoise, and Chuuya is the vermillion bird. They're the four symbols, and they embody four of the five phases (while grappling with the fifth).

Natsume brought Dazai to Mori, and followed Dazai to Fukuzawa.

Ango, Kunikida, and Chuuya have a group chat to coordinate the keeping and care of Dazai, but Ango is habitually kicked and then begrudgingly allowed back in.

Agatha Christie directs the Order of the Clock Tower from where she's imprisoned in the Elizabeth Tower (nèe the Clock Tower, misnomer Big Ben). This is less a headcanon and more a substantiated theory— if you notice, the room Agatha Christie is always depicted as being inside in the manga has wood panels that are reminiscent of the oak paneled walls of the irl prison room in the irl Elizabeth Tower. The anime iteration more generally references elements of the Elizabeth Tower's Gothic Revival design in the room's symmetrical and ornate carved details, decorative moldings, arches, tracery, vaulted ceiling, heavy and curved and elaborately patterned furniture, etc., etc. Her skill being called And Then There Were None and her cold, calculating, sadistic personality also suggest she takes after Judge Wargrave, who was both the righteous condemner and among the righteously condemned.

As for your irl fact: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's children did not call him dad; they called him Ryu-chan.

Earl Spencer did not simply overshare about losing his virginity. He actually talked about experiencing sexual abuse from a female staff member of the boarding school he attended. He then went on to say that this experience has affected his relationships, so basically opening up about it was his way of saying yes the reports that I was a shitty husband to my former wives are true but it was because of this traumatic experience I had as a child that I wasn’t able to process for so long. Obviously no child deserves to experience what he experienced, but it’s quite obvious he’s cut from the same cloth as Harry. So I’m not surprised they get along so well as of the moment.

I was referring to the week of headlines about how he lost his virginity to a sex worker. You could not go anywhere near the British papers without seeing an article about that fact specifically.

And that it was that tidbit he chose to promote his book with? That was his choice. It wasn't the papers or the critics or the editors who chose that; he still OK'd because if he wasn't OK with that, he'd have come out swinging. But he didn't. There was a tacit approval to sell this book using the story of how he lost his virginity to a sex worker.

That's what I meant by oversharing.

It's great that writing this book forced him to deal with so much trauma and it's great that he admitted it in interviews and in the text itself. But it doesn't change that he used his story of losing his virginity to promote and sell the book.

Hi there! I've seen many Japanese fans' comments on Twitter regarding the WOWOW special and they seem very moved by whatever the members said (I think something regarding the band itself and/or the fans?). I don't have access to that footage so I was wondering (since you seem to have watched it) if maybe you could share a brief summary of the interviews? I wanna be emotional too hahaha

I'm not that good with spoken Japanese, but from what I gathered, there is a section about Dir en grey talking about the fans and how they envision the future after 25 years, as well as a section on the bond between Dir en grey. Some fans on Twitter also seem to have been moved just by watching the behind-the-scenes footage and some retrospection on the band's beginnings, so I think part of it is how starved we are for tidbits by Dir en grey seeing as they are such a reserved band compared to oversharing artists.

Regarding the fans, it sounded like they mentioned that Dir en grey would be nothing without them, and they are looking forward to being brought to their 30th anniversary with them still. Like, together, let's discover what the next few years hold.

There is a focus made on the message conveyed through Dir en grey's concerts: Live. We go to the shows to vent stuff out and hopefully come out stronger from them, being alive.

About the band's bond, I didn't catch much, but Die definitely compared it to a family, where no matter what, that relationship prevails but you don't have to know everything about their life.

But I'll defer to anyone else for more specific translations... And seeing as we could not have paid for watching rights anyway, I'm kind of less opposed to sharing...

Hi, I'm the Purva bhadrapada/ashlesha native from earlier and I wanted to add to the combo of nodals being attracted to yang energy. I also have a Leo stellium so that adds to it.

All of my friends/ex friends have prominent nodal energy, I have a similar dynamic with all of them in the way that they always look to me for guidance you could say? I've always been the emotional anchor, the therapist or the one that keeps their feet on the ground. My experience with them depends on if they have other energy prominent in their chart to ground them.

I have a double magha friend, but she has a Purva bhadrapada sun and moon conjunct Jupiter energy, similarly I have a magha sun, Swati rising friend but she has pushya moon conjunct Saturn. Their jupiter and saturnian energy keeps them from being too "hollow" or "void" in the sense that the ketuvian headlessness doesn't dominate their senses. They are both extremely anxious though and I'd attribute that to the rat yoni, since smaller yoni animals tend to be that way. Another Swati/Magha friend of mine always looked for my guidance in his creative pursuits, turned out he was in love with me too, so that just adds to the long list of nodals I've known that are attracted to yang energy.

On the other hand I have another magha sun, mula moon friend who doesn't have any other energy to really anchor her, and let me tell you she is probably the most unhinged person I've ever met. She, in comparison to the rest of my friends is always looking for my guidance/advice the most and for the longest time I was basically her 24 hours open therapist. It was the most emotionally and mentally draining friendship of my life and it was toxic for me so I had to cut contact with her. She was the epitome of ketu headlessness, no thoughts, head empty respectfully 😅

So yeah, if people don't have other energy in their charts I find it hard to have healthy relationships with them.

thank you so much for sharing your experiences. i feel like everytime i say nodals are attracted to yang energy specifically of Sun & Jupiter (because Sun is the source of light and Jupiter is by nature very giving and "boundless" and no other planet indulges Nodal behaviour this way- Venusians who only engage in mutually beneficial arrangements def wont, Mars people are not known for being accommodating or "giving", Moon is receptive and passive, Mercury is too trickster-y, Saturnians are too disciplined to tolerate the unhinged chaos of Nodal people so yeah that leaves us with Sun & Jupiter) and how draining Nodal people can be to these natives (speaking from my personal observations) people are quick to chime in "oh its bc men are trash, its not the naks" like honey boo boo i never said yang = men, im talking about planetary energy not gender dynamics. and ive literally watched it play out and i cant stand the chaos of these Nodal- Sun/Jupiter dynamics.

girlies will describe the most manic obsessive behaviour and ask "but my Sun/Jupiter person has no interest in me and does not give a flying fuck about me, idk why" and when I say its bc they feel drained by this type of behaviour they'll say "omg my Sun/Jupiter pursued ME, theyre OBSESSED with ME" idk if its being delusional or what but girl u literally just said they didnt gaf about u 😭maybe they were interested initially before they knew what it was like to be close to you and the minute they found out, they started distancing themselves. I've noticed the tendency to be delusional among Nodals and they always act like they're doing YOU a favour by unleashing their chaos on you. I knew a girl a long time ago who had Ardra Moon and Mula Rising who gave me random updates of the tiniest tidbits of her life and constantly overshared to a bizarre degree when it was absolutely clear i wanted nothing to do with her and one day she had the audacity to tell me that she was doing this because she thought i was lonely??? bitch what 😭😭 perhaps she genuinely thought she was helping me somehow and was offering me her company but she was completely deluded about how i "needed" her companionship or whatever bc i would act so cold and disinterested like girl can u not take a hint 😭

sorry Nodals but one thing I cannot stand about imbalanced Nodals who have no other planetary energy to balance them is how they completely lack self awareness and are absolutely delusional about how others see their behaviour

another Ardra stellium girl I know had a spam account on IG where she had like 30 followers and THOUSANDS of posts, she literally posted every spare thought she had in her head, including really embarrassing and completely personal details about her life and i told her i was concerned because others could see this info and use it against her and she told me that her "followers want her to be a vlogger" because she's "so entertaining" like bbg people find Trisha Paytas interesting, does not mean she isn't unhinged

[lctibule]

some more little joon tidbits bc he's still on my mind:

has a soft accent when speaking any of his non-native languages, though it's more prominent in his japanese & mandarin than his english.

though his relationship with his mother is strained, they both still love each other a lot (which is what makes a lot of their fundamental disagreements so frustrating for both parties). anytime he misses her, he finds himself cooking some of the meals she made for him growing up (and he will share if you happen to be visiting him at the time).

can easily fall asleep basically anywhere except his own bed. when he's in bed, he can never seem to shut his brain off - meanwhile he dozes off semi-regularly on stream. this has even happened while he's been in queue for ranked games and resulted in him being kicked for inactivity all while his chat is typing in all caps like they might be able to wake him up.

has actually gotten choked up while reading emails & comments from his viewers. he never really thought he'd be able to make a career out of streaming games, sure no one would find him interesting enough, so it sincerely means so much to him when people tell him he's their favourite comfort streamer or that watching his streams makes them feel like they're just hanging out with a friend. he's really grateful for his little community and does his best to interact with everyone, often even following up with them a stream or two later after they've said they were having a hard time or were nervous/excited for something coming up.

his stream is a safe place!!!! a large portion, if not the entirety, of his community is queer and/or neurodivergent, and joon is very quick to shut down anyone who comes in looking to cause shit. he's also very open and honest about his own experiences (sometimes to the point of oversharing....) and just, like!!! very supportive of everyone!!!!

sometimes puts suwon on camera when he needs to get up for a bathroom break or refill his water, which the chat always loves. they always think it's so cute how it looks like he's actually reading the chat.

Hello Hello! It's me again!

Heehoo request time/lh

I'm feelin' very hurt/comfort cause anxiety is being a bitch like always. Same peeps from before btw!

Basically, just some general anxiety comfort will do. Whether that's headcanons or a oneshot or both like last time is up to you. But I would like to add a personal tidbit if that's fine.

How they would comfort their partner who's ashamed of how they feel.

I'm sorry if that's a bit too personal or if it's just oversharing in general, I just could use some comfort about that, y'know? Totally up to you if you want to answer this request or not friend.

Have a good rest of your day/night!

*hands together* I am sorry that this took so long to get to you I won't bore you with my RL But I wanted to get these just right before I posted them. I did these in a headcanon style this time, it was the format that flowed- for some reason?

Anyway I hope you feel better, friend. I have some similar struggles from time to time and while I can't rightfully say I know your pain, I feel for you and with you. So we can all sit here and get some comfort from some nice 'bots~

P03 comforting a partner who is ashamed with how they feel

Something is bothering you, P03 can tell. He's not very perceptive with mood changes in others, but he's been around you long enough to recognize it.

At first, he doesn't say anything. He figures if you wanted to talk about it, you would. He does soften his words around you, though.

P03 finally can't take it and he pulls you aside to ask you what the problem is. If someone's bothering you or something, he'd have a few choice words with-!

In the quiet of the backroom, away from prying eyes, you tell him. But once you tell him what's bothering you, his face can't quite settle between sad and upset.

He doesn't say anything quite yet, but- if you were okay with it- he would pull you close and hold you against himself.

He tries to come up with words, but- Oh, he's terrible at this. But you're not feeling good and he's gonna try his damnedest to relieve that feeling.

So P03 tries to offer the words he needed in the past. That he can see you're not feeling good. That you shouldn't be too hard on yourself. That he's proud of your efforts. It may take him a minute (this poor 'bot is awful at discussing emotions, especially his own) but he may even tell you a little about his past to show you're not alone.

Once you've calmed down a bit, he turns his attention to the factory- and calls an early shutdown for the day. His workers are understandably confused, but he tells them not to question it.

He's not going to just comfort and run, he's gonna stick close to you for the rest of the day.

You want to talk more about your problems? He's listening. You want to discuss something else? He's got plenty of subjects and things to distract you with. You want to cuddle? He'll find a blanket for you both. If you want something to eat or drink, he refuses to let you do it yourself and brings it to you.

He wouldn't put this effort out for just anyone, and if pressed by someone he'd deny he did it, but P03 does care about you.

"I don't want you to feel ashamed. I am proud of who you are. Tell that to the thoughts that are trying to scramble you up."

The Archivist comforting a partner who is ashamed with how they feel

The Archivist can tell your mood is off the moment that your demeanor changes. She says nothing in front of others, but as soon as the two of you are alone, she'd ask if you were feeling alright. She wants to give you a chance to talk on your own if you wish to.

If you do tell her what's bothering you, she gives you a look not of pity, but of sympathy. She'd offer a hug if you'd like it, and she squeezes your shoulders gently.

All of her files are set to the side for you. She wants you to feel better, but she doesn't want to overstep a boundary.

But first, your comfort is her priority. That file the Archivist built on you tells her all she needs to help you out. She'll get your favorite drink in your favorite spot with possibly even a playlist of some soothing music to help you de-stress. Any other comforts you need are easy enough for her to get her claw on.

If you need a distraction from your problem, she has no end to interesting subjects the two of you could talk about or things she could show you to take your mind off of things.

She doesn't want to goad you into telling her anything, but she insists that you can tell her anything; she's a really good listener, after all. If you want to be left in solitude, she'll let you calm down by yourself if that's what you need.

But if you want to talk, she's there to listen. The Archivist loves to listen to you, though to hear the hurt and shame in your words, see it in your face… It tugs at something in her circuits.

She'd do anything to make you feel differently, but of course it's never as simple as that. So she tries to understand your position. She might ask gentle questions about why you might feel this way or what she could do to help- but if those questions upset you, she would immediately backtrack.

Your state of mind is her top concern and she tries her best to be attentive and understand.

"You're my sweet partner, and nothing could ever make me ashamed of you. I wish I could change things for you… But I can stand by you through your troubles. Always."

i'm feeling chatty after a week of accidental asceticism, so if you feel so inclined, send in an emoji as the kids say and i'll respond with a random lock lore tidbit. or just any questions you might be curious about. it's oversharing friday folks!

Also, I’m so intrigued by the tidbits we got about Janine in this ep. Between the counselor recommending therapy for her + Barb/Mel joking about her oversharing, there’s definitely a consciousness that Janine’s familial and personal issues are at the forefront of the writers’ minds in a big way.

omg i’m the one who sent the ask about the headcanons and it literally never occurred to me that any of what i said could be taken in a bad way 😭 i just meant ‘against my will’ as in like the same way you may react to a vaguely disgusting but extremely interesting tidbit about a deep sea creature, like kunikida being a raging misogynist!! + i said ‘oversharing’ to like reassure that i really enjoyed reading all of the tidbits u add to posts but i see now that i didn’t rlly make that clear mb :(

Thank you for clarifying! I'm sorry for taking you in bad faith; I misunderstood "against my will" as a reference to my chatter in reblogs and the tags, and "oversharing" to mean that I posted too frequently.

I have an itty bitty follower count and try to engage productively and meaningfully, but I tend to garner strong reactions in fandom spaces, so I've become defensive. That's not constructive to the sort of relationship I want to have with media, literary analysis, or fandom, so this was a good reminder that I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words! I enjoyed answering your ask a lot, and I appreciate your interest in my headcanons. I wouldn't have shared them without you offering me the space to feel comfortable doing so, and I've been aching to babble about some of those.

fufufu… I did it :)

I guess I should write a little blerb about myself.. how do people do this-

Er, well, hi, hello, salutations, good morning, good evening or even goodnight!

I go by Kaz or Kazoo, whichever you prefer, or even something else entirely because I am not original lol.

Some simple technicalities to get over with, I use he/him, I am trans yay, I am bisexual, but romantic wise—we don’t talk about that, it’s complicated and I haven’t figured that out yet 🤪.

I’m not at all new here… but I am a humble user here to indulge in some light-hearted giggly content—sort of—I guess a little more seeing as this is side blog is meant for more exciting content heh and maybe force myself to be a little more interactive.

Ngl it’s probably not gonna be as spicy as I expect it to be lol. I save that for twitter. Actual nsfw and smut will be tagged in case certain people don’t want to see it. Spicy tickle stuff will be tagged as #spicy tickles too. Stuff that isn’t necessarily nsfw or spicy will be tagged as #kinda spicy?

Any little tidbits of scenarios and writing I do will be tagged as #words by kazoo.

Apologies if I’m weird, I ramble too much when I don’t know what to say. I also always have a lot on my mind that I like to share, oversharing without remorse 🤓.

I call myself an idiotic loser who does nothing with their time but read fanfiction, watch anime, simp over pretty characters, and play idealistic scenarios in my head 24/7. Maybe we can bond over that!

Or if you don’t like anything that I’ve said about myself then why don’t I entice you with hundreds upon thousands of pictures and videos of cats and dogs ;) (i swear it’s actual animals—i work with them and i own a cat 🙇‍♂️)

I hope that’s enough information to satisfy your hungry minds. If not 👀… come talk to me and I’ll lore drop my life story ~ (kidding… maybe)

Bye bye!
