UPDATE 11/18: i'm gonna do a longer update later today, but funds are running a bit low because he's stayed for 2 days longer than expected as of monday morning. i'm not sure if i can cover the rest of it so boosting and donations will be greatly appreciated!
hi everyone! i know i have a relatively small following but i wanted to take a chance to ask for help anyway.
my beloved cat alphinaud (alphy for short, alby if you're being cute) was a naughty boy and decided to go outside a few days ago (he's been an indoor cat all his life) and got into a fight with a stray, which led to a wound with an abscess above his right eye. on top of this, he has been struggling with urinary tract infection for the last year and the crystals in his bladder unfortunately flared up once more, so the vet recommended him to be confined at the clinic for the next few days as he undergoes testing.
so far our expenses has been PHP 23,600 (around USD 400) for all the tests he went through as well as the confinement fee, and i expect it to cost more as he stays in the vet for confinement. luckily i cobbled together enough money to pay for the 11.8k PHP downpayment for today, but i don't have any money left after that expense. i will be adding the receipt from the 50% downpayment under the read more below as proof of these expenses.
i hate to ask for help from strangers again, as i have already done so last year when his uti was first diagnosed. unfortunately i'm quite literally at the end of my rope here. i've recently lost my dad last month, which took quite a toll on me financially (and of course, emotionally) because of funeral expenses and the medical bill that we're still paying off.
my friends can attest that i don't really make a habit of asking for help even when i desperately need it, but i really can't lose another member of our family so soon after we lost my dad who i loved with all my heart. i hope whoever reads this finds it in their heart to understand where i'm coming from here, but thank you for reading up to this point despite how long it has gotten.
if you're willing to help, you can send donations at paypal.me/amunetis or if you are from the philippines like i am, you may send your donation through my gcash at 09175252352.
i will also be prepping a commissions post soon in case anyone is interested, if you need examples you can find it here in this link. i'll be updating this post when i'm done with preparations.
again, thank you so much for reading through this all. if you are unable to help financially, i would greatly appreciate sharing/spreading the word through reblogs or maybe even sharing this post through other sns like twitter or bsky.
Tumblr media
^ 50% downpayment receipt that i paid today. i can also provide pictures of his test results and other things if needed as proof.
have another pic of alby as thanks for checking!

Yo, could you make m!reader who’s the son of Bruce and Selina and him meeting the Batfamily? He’s like Damian’s age if not a year younger
Sure can do anon. Don't Selina and Bruce have a daughter in the comics? Also, the only gif that had the two of them in. I can't wait for Batman 2. It's taking far too long.
Summary: Selina and Bruce have a son. Bruce didn't know.
Warnings: (Y/N) is anxious, Bruce is trying... Fluff I guess?
Tumblr media
Bruce should have known. How could he be so blind to it? How didn't he even notice? Feelings are a messy thing. And he shouldn't have allowed it to cloud his mind and judgement. But it happened. He had a one night stand with Selina and he didn't know that she was pregnant. He should have known when she wasn't out on Gotham scene and when he didn't see her for a while.
To say he was mad that she didn't tell him was an understatement. Bruce has every right to know about his son (Y/N). Was she worried that he wouldn't take care of his child? That it would be like, oh no, I won't take care of him because you are a criminal? No. Bruce takes care of all of his children.
No matter who they parents are. Children should not carry the burden of their parents. Children have nothing to do with the things that their parents do. Bruce never liked it when people would put everything that the child's parents did onto the child themselves. And now, when Bruce confronted Selina, he has made his demands.
He will not drag her through court. He would never do that. He would also provide financial support for (Y/N). He wanted to make sure that (Y/N) will never lack anything and more than anything in this world, he wanted to meet him. He knew that it would be awkward. And he wasn't wrong.
First few meetings were rough and awkward to say the very least. It hasn't been easy. (Y/N) was hesitant, but not because of the fact that Selina badmouthed him. Bruce knew that she would never do that. But when your father is Bruce Wayne and you are the youngest Wayne child out of the bunch and you didn't know until now... And the last name Wayne opens up a lot of doors for you.
After a few meetings, Bruce asked (Y/N) if he wanted to meet his siblings. (Y/N) was now more than hesitant. Would they even like him? Would they judge him for his mother? How would Damian Wayne react even? (Y/N) started overthinking everything, every single outcome possible.
Bruce could even see the gears turning in his head, trying to see all the possibilities. Bruce assured him that he will not do anything that he wouldn't do anything that he didn't want. If (Y/N) wanted to wait before meeting his siblings, Bruce will make sure to respect that boundary. Not to mention, to make sure that his other sons will respect that boundary.
Even Damian, who is simply ready to get every single piece of information on (Y/N). Damian wasn't happy about another biological son in the picture. He was happy to be the only one. But with a half brother, whose mother is a criminal, he was really not happy. Bruce knew that very well. So he tried to ease all 4 of his sons into meeting (Y/N).
Dick was excited at the thought of a new sibling, but hoped that he wouldn't be as bratty as Damian was when he first came to the family. But he had a feeling that Selina wouldn't allow (Y/N) to be a brat. No one is a fan of brats.
Jason hoped that he was nothing like Damian. He can't have another Damian around. He barely has the energy to deal with Damian as it is. He could only hope so.
Tim? He was going to do a background check on (Y/N) before hand, but otherwise has no problem with him. He finds Selina nice, but he should have seen this coming. Knowing that Bruce is playboy... All of those talks about protection seemingly don't matter when it comes to actual practice.
And Damian? Damian doesn't believe that people can change, criminals are in the most hardcore category of that opinion. However, Damian came to like Selina. He was bribed with cats. Animals are his weakness, but can you blame him? If he could, he would turn the manor into a farm. But since Bruce wouldn't allow it, he couldn't. Bruce owns the place and while he allowed Alfred the cat, Titus and the Batcow, still, Damian wanted to have more.
And Selina was more than happy to give him access to more animals, cats more specifically to cater to Damian. But Damian still wasn't still sold on the idea of trusting (Y/N). Or even meeting him. But he knew that they would have to meet up eventually.
Eventually, (Y/N) felt comfortable enough to meet the family. Bruce was very happy to hear that. Extremely happy to hear that. However, Bruce had to make sure that the other 4 were ready to behave. And that took some time to make sure that they knew what to do and to not scare (Y/N) off. It took (Y/N) a lot of courage to say that he wanted to meet them.
So Bruce was going to do his best to make sure that the meeting goes as smoothly as possible. Of course, there are going to be bumps, but Bruce is sure that he can steer everything in the right direction. And that's something that he was mentally preparing himself for.
And that's why (Y/N) and Bruce were still in the car, (Y/N) feeling like he wanted to jump at his skin. He wanted to turn back, but he got here... So he can't turn back now, can he?
" You ready (Y/N)? " Bruce asked, turning to his left to look at his son, who seemed anxious. No, ready to jump out of his skin.
" Is it too late to turn back now? "
Bruce chuckled at that, patting his shoulder. " Kind of. But you don't need to worry that much. Just be yourself. Okay? " Bruce gently said to (Y/N), who nodded. Bruce knew that (Y/N)'s anxiety wasn't gone and was still present, but he wished that (Y/N) would relax a tad more.
" Okay... I think I can try that. " (Y/N) said and Bruce smiled, nodding at that.
" Good. Now come on. " Bruce stepped out of the car and (Y/N) followed, moving to stand next to Bruce and then follow him to the front door. Bruce unlocked the door and let (Y/N) step in first. Bruce gently led him to the dining room where everyone was waiting.
" Now remember, be yourself, " Bruce whispered into his ear, before straightening up and leading him to the dining room. There was chatter in there and (Y/N) could hear different voices and he could hear that all 4 of his brothers were there... Well, half brothers... One half brother. The other ones are through adoption.
But still half brothers, no?
The chatter stopped once Bruce and (Y/N) entered.
" Everyone, this is (Y/N) Kyle, " Bruce introduced and the boys sized (Y/N) up, making him feel nervous. Bruce led (Y/N) to an empty sit, in between Tim and Dick, the two who are the nicest ones. Dick is nice and Tim is simply too tired to care about it. Damian and Jason? Both speak their minds. Jason directly and Damian does it with insults. Thinly veiled insults, mind you.
" So (Y/N), " Dick started and Bruce knew that Dick was trying to salvage the situation, well, trying to make the atmosphere better is a better word than salvage. " What are your hobbies? Interests? "
" I like art. I like to draw and I've been thinking of getting into painting actually, " (Y/N) responded, although still quietly from the anxiety.
Soon enough, the conversation started flowing and the atmosphere got lighter and more fun. Bruce watched his sons interact with a smile on his face. He could see that even Damian was warming up to (Y/N).

i like to think another reason soap and ghost trusted each other so quickly is because they could smell the low income upbringing on each other.
ghost was a slum kid through and through, with shoes that felt perpetually too large and cigarette holes through his hand-me-down jackets. if his mum didn’t have time to cook, or if her hands shook too violently to handle silverware, he was the one to scrape together enough passable nutrients to feed tommy, and some nights himself. he was born into back alley business and when his time came, if the worms didn’t get him, the stray cats could feast on his carcass for the next two generations.
soap grew up in a full house. when his da left with that droopy-eyed, pale sack of infections he deemed more important than his wife of seven years and their five children, his mum and older sister were the sole providers in his life. he learned very early on to make do with what he had unless he couldn’t, splitting funds for so many people, along with bills and groceries and clothes and school supplies, was an enormous task that he couldn’t very well make more difficult like the rest of his sisters seemed to want to with a clean conscience.
they both see it instantly — soap, the way ghost refused to ask for anything; and ghost, the way soap only asked for the cheapest, weakest, most useless version of what he needed, still with a guilty bite to his bottom lip. the way they both (metaphorically) lick their plates clean, afraid to waste a single crumb; the way each of them preferred to mend instead of simply buying something new like gaz; the way they both opt for one practical and one frivolous gift each holiday for both useage and enjoyment.
it’s easy to relate to the anxious pinch of eyebrows at the till when you’ve been too involved in financial discussions your whole life, and even easier to remind each other that money wasn’t a problem anymore. soap could remind ghost that he didn’t have to conserve anymore, and ghost could remind soap that he didn’t have to buy scratchy clothes or food brands he didn’t like just because they were cheaper.
and even if ghost didn’t want to ask for something he wanted, soap would get it anyway. and even if soap made a fuss of how much they threw in their cart, ghost would throw more in anyway.
because they can. because no matter their financial worry, they have someone who will understand and make everything feel okay again.

4Minutes EP. 4 - My Takeaways
For the sake of organization: my future takeaways will be under #mambo.4minyap (get it? hehehehehe) cause it seems to be hitting the radar for lots of folks. It's also an interesting series, and I like talking and taking the scenic route while doing so!
Compositional Framing: The Relationship of Oppression
We got the most information about Korn's character and status within the story from this episode thus far: but the visual devices popped out the most for me (I am an artist after all LOL). I mentioned camera angles, specifically bird's eye view in my episode 1 takeaways, but we're met with a different element: shot sizes! I'm not a filmmaker so please go easy on me (my credentials include my storyboarding and animated illustration classes so my knowledge is limited), but what remains consistent throughout this episode is Korn's relationship with authority and power through the usage of establishing shot size, which lots of his scenes with various characters have varying heights.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tonkla (Authoritarian) vs. Great (Equals)
The way Korn approaches these two characters have their obvious differences in relation to himself, but the common thread is that these two characters are individuals Korn should love. It's expected to love your family unconditionally, and arguably, love your partner even more than that. But as we've seen the story play out, starting from Korn and Great's family dynamics (which I've also covered in episode 1!): love has always been conditional.
Tumblr media
Their relationship is revealed from a flashback that Korn and Tonkla are established boyfriends since their university days, however, dating in secrecy. This further contributes to Tonkla's stress and anxiety within the relationship, slowly escalating once he realizes the mistreatment he's tolerating. I found the symbolism between the pet cat's collar and Korn's "senior chief" sash interesting: there is ownership involved, which is mistaken for partnership.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From the jump, Korn doesn't view Tonkla as an equal partner to him, but someone who he can assert dominance over (which is primarily physical but also emotional). By displaying acts of love such as helping Tonkla through his first time and being present during Tonkla's loss with his deceased pet cat, what seems innocent and kindhearted on the surface actually has more context (which due to the 30 image limit, y'all are going to have to watch the episode for yourself and take my word for it LOL).
In the university flashback, Korn mentions keeping the cat's collar as a memento, but he's not the one reaching in and taking the collar off the cat: Tonkla is. Tonkla also isn't the one who puts on the "senior chief" sash himself: Korn is. In both scenarios, Korn is the one making decisions for Tonkla during his moments of vulnerability (both in a state of grief and during a sexual act). I checked out this article to make sure my facts are straight (got too many fun facts up my sleeve), but this approach is how cults target and recruit their victims:
Possible situational vulnerabilities include illness, the death of a loved one, breakup of an important relationship, loss of a job, or moving to another city, state or country.
Is this deliberate, or is it Korn's act of kindness? We can only infer at this moment where Korn falls on the value spectrum, but he's definitely a morally gray character (you can argue with your mom idc). During the after care scene, Tonkla mentions his father (which is alive during this flashback, but not presently living during the funeral ceremony) and moving to a new place with his younger brother due to his father's alcoholism (and possible physical abuse but this is only an assumption). Korn handles this interaction by providing financial stability (cough cough financial abuse) for Tonkla in the meantime, establishing a relationship rooted in give-and-take, debt and IOUs, under the guise of a caring romantic relationship. Given that Tonkla and his brother have suffered from trauma relating to family dynamics and enduring dysfunction into adulthood, I can see why Tonkla had become completely blindsided to this level of power imbalance that is simply all too familiar.
Tumblr media
Once Tonkla realizes that Korn is only present in his life for his own self-interest, and access, he stands up against his oppressor, recognizing that there is another individual that is displaying signs of love and care (which isn't 100% healthy, but it's progress nonetheless) that Korn has bread crumbed him for all these years.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This confrontational scene is highly intense and emotional, which is reinforced by Korn's physical stature towering over Tonkla in most of the scenes we've seen thus far in each episode and usually ending with Korn continuing to be enabled. These scenes are usually shot at angles such as panning from above to reveal Korn's power over Tonkla, who's usually shot from over-the-shoulder and panned down. However, once Tonkla finally takes his stand against him, the camera follows him and frames the shot as a close up, tightening the gap between Korn as the oppressor and Tonkla as the oppressed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once Korn leaves and returns to question Nan about the leaked information: we're shown a similar staging of Korn physically towering over his victim, but from a cowboy shot slightly panned upward. However, the framing suggests from size relationship alone: Korn is nothing more but a victim himself playing the role of the villain. He is in the same predicament as his own victims, but living in a state of falsehood and denial as he has been trained to believe it is his birth right to take over his father's business (not even taking the time to question the morality behind such a business). What remains behind choosing moral righteousness over injustice: the disappointment of living as a failure and abandonment of his family system, the only consistently good thing in his life that is his younger brother Great. It's heartbreaking because we can see somewhat of goodness from his beaconing of retrieving information without the reliance of violent methods (which is unsuccessful and out of context, rather pitiful?), and I really do hope that he will be able to redeem himself (but I wouldn't completely write off the series if he does not deserve redemption).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, the greatest loss is Tonkla's revelation of his own entrapment: reminiscing the memories held by the collar but in an entirely new perspective. The composition of him looking at himself in the mirror is hauntingly beautiful but full of melancholy: the mirror serves as a moment of literal self reflection, the collar reminding him of living as a possession rather than a person, the frame of the mirror serves as a metaphorical cage. Now it's a matter of whether or not Tonkla will reclaim his power again and recognize that he's simply a bird confined in his cage, but the door is now wide open. Will he realize soon that he has his own wings to fly?
Moral Value: A Hidden Responsibility
We've seen in this episode Great having a better understanding of his gift, establishing his moral compass and duty to act with integrity and with a strong sense of justice. Seeing such strong character development within these past few episodes is breathtaking (especially if you've been a long time supporter of Bible and just his journey as an actor). We have a good sense of Great recognizing his autonomy and relationship with free will, contrasted to how passive and reluctant he was in doing the "right" thing and being given a second chance to make a different decision.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tyme's motive reveal (I love being right hehe) after being confronted by Great's demand for why he attacked his brother became a turning point for Great to finally tap in and establish his innate desire for moral justice, especially after being told about Nan's captivity and being foreshown her demise once he found her location. What I found most interesting during the initial rescue of Nan from Samarn was just how "normal" his conduct was when addressing Great as the son of his upper head. How polite his language was while holding a gun and standing next to a pool of his victim's blood, to just before Tyme's appearance where Great becomes the voice of reason amongst the chaos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Why can't I?"
It's such a simple response, but it's so loaded with depth and hidden meaning: it makes you sit back and also wonder...why can't I?
Great becomes an individual questioning the circumstances surrounding him, enabling himself to experience change. When his "friend" attempted murder and brought him along for the ride, when he experienced his first few heart attacks and hitting the woman seeking unalivement, when he is confronted by his brother's attacker and doesn't blindly dedicate his loyalty to his brother for the mere fact that he's family, when he sees Nan's predestined death in the hands of the enemy (which you can say that it really be your own people).
What makes Great such a fascinating character to me is just how dynamic and determined he's become after being gifted with foreseeing the future. Having such excitement in his awareness to his free will makes me enjoy him more as a character, that our lives are not predetermined to live and die for, that we have morals and values that must be considered and analyzed for its legitimacy, that we have integrity to do what's right without entitlement to self-interest, that we have the shared responsibility to criticize the world in which was built for us, but our jobs to upkeep and maintain. I'm excited to see what's in store for Great moving forward, and I'm so happy for Bible and Jes to play such characters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though the lighting is similar to how Korn and Tonkla's flashback was, the visible warmth is even more obvious with how these two established their relationship. That in contrast to KornTonkla's ownership, TymeGreat is partnership (we haven't reached boyfriend status yet but it's coming!) How Tyme is willing to accept and make room for Great's excitement and passion, to hold it gently, to cherish it as a fleeting moment. Their NC scene in comparison to KornTonkla and WinTonkla is simply ethereal: the level of shared vulnerability and intimacy warmed my heart. From the lighting to the shots and down to the chosen score, the director does a fantastic job of creating such dissonance between all the pairs (which lots of people like to write off NC scenes as unnecessary and vulgar but it's just blatant purity cultural standards imposing on all of us and I need to dedicate another time to talk about it). The visual storytelling thus far has me anticipating more from the story as the details continue to establish the worlds revealed to us.
Tonkla's Brother: The Arrival of Home
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sure we all saw this coming but the reveal is heartwrenching. To see such a sweet face and scene filled with hope and longing with its immediate contrast to harsh reality, my heart goes out to Tonkla. Some may infer that there's a separate timeline that exists alongside reality, but I think it's possibly a hyperrealistic hallucination or dream by Tonkla (since the last scene we see of him was just before heading to bed for the night but also his intense codependency on drugs). Of course on the surface, people can infer that this is simply Dome returning home from recovering from his injuries: however, I interpreted it philosophically. Dome arrived home for his soul to rest.
We're shown in the first half of the episode of Tonkla mourning after Dome's body is cremated (I'm also Buddhist but I'm nationally American and ethnically Vietnamese so my interpretation of the religion will have its differences), which now establishes Dome's physical remains returning to the earth which his soul can no longer return to. I imagined Dome's soul has reincarnated and given access to the Western Pureland (since Tonkla was physically outside in the warm sunlight versus his more cool toned coloring within his scenes), only hoping that he actually experienced resting on his deathbed ready to enter the afterlife with a smile. Now we know that Tonkla's fingerprints were already in the investigation database: we need to know why and what crimes he had already committed before the murder shown as the opening in episode 2. This is definitely going to affect Win's current dynamic with Tonkla, given that they're now living together and he has access to Tonkla's home and possessions. Maybe we'll experience another shift in character development like how Great was, but possibly targeting Korn if the company is involved in Dome's case somehow.
Honorable Mentions: Heart Attack Transition
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This scene was literally so fucking cool. The match cuts and in and outs of the inversion (def going to have trigger warnings for future GIF sets) were literally out of this world, especially when I find out it's from the freaking painting within the hospital hallway that is just a prop on the surface. I wonder who suggested such a transition and I wonder how they'll depict Great's future heart attacks and visions. The VFX team is working overtime and I'm so impressed so please give them their flowers!

𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 + 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐒 : 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒: When the first division of TOMAN, Keisuke Baji, passes away, the Commander, Manjiro Sano, take his younger sister, Y/N Baji, in and soon forms a gang in their mid 20s. Now being the leaders of the criminal organization BONTEN and entering the gang scene with a federal bounty on her head, what if love with her No. 2 and a bit of the past resurfaces?? What if there was a little sorrow and betrayal?? Some gang shit in the mix too!?
𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: various substances (vapes, weeds, cigarettes, pills, ect.), curse words, mentions of sex work if you squint
“Sanzu, Y/N, respectfully, please calm down on the amount of drugs.” Kakucho said, sitting across from Sanzu. Stubbly looking over to Mikey at the right of him — strangely attending the meeting at the head of the table — asking for approval to question such big figures in the way he did.
TO KEEP READING, YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT WARNING MENTIONED ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN ARE PRESENT IN THIS POST AND FUTURE EPISODES.
Y/N sent a sharp glare towards despite being on the other head, about a metre away from the number 3. Sanzu gave a cheeky smile that people would relate to the Cheshire cat. His pearly whites showed while Y/N rolled her eyes at the boy’s antics.
“I’ll only stop if I bring Mikey and the princess an issue. I do think Y/N should stop. She’ll age really badly!” He responded to Kakucho while a bit of fake sympathy laced his voice.
“I’ve bought enough for Y/n to not age badly. Great retinols and I’ve even showed her some botox places that were rated well. She gave me the same little pretty glare she’s giving you now.” Ran pitched into the conversation.
“Shut the fuck up Ran no one cares about you and your issues about being an old hag.” Sanzu bites the 31 year old to his side, the banter flowing freely among the trio.
“For once I believe I have to agree with the dunce.” Rindou reluctantly admitted.
“I think we should get back to the main problem right now.” Kokonoi started, “We need to start making connections with different gangs at the moment and we also need to work on our financial issue which is being affected with the substance use from all of you.”
“I don’t do drugs!” Mucho stated in defence of his use.
“You dumbfuck! Substances aren’t just drugs. I’m saying those shitty cigarettes you smoke, the vapes that teens these days use, to edibles or drugs that Y/N and Sanzu are using. They’re all substances and FUCK WE SPEND TO MUCH ON THAT SHIT!” Kokonoi explained with frustration.
“So, all you want is for me to stop using drugs? Well then, I’m out of this then. Mikey, Kakucho, Kokonoi, and Takeomi. Make an event sending regards and invite the top 15 gangs to an event at one of the Haitani's clubs. Ran and Rindou, you guys can decide a club you’re fine with being used.” Y/n ordered.
With a click-clack of her MIU MIU heels, Y/N pushed her chair back and walked out of the room. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the room as Mikey watched her leave. As a small grin decorated his face, entertained by the events. A quiet chuckle left Sanzu’s mouth with the same idea.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈‍ ɞ·˚ ✩
"You guys know the BONTEN event, right??" Kimiko sat with her legs crossed on top of a table.
"Yeah. One of my workers told me when their number 2 was high." Shu replied taking another hit of his blunt.
"OMG DON'T TELL ME YOU GOT US AN INVITE? KIMI!" Aria squealed with excitement while shaking Kimiko's shoulders rapidly.
"Yes, yes, yes. I was able to get myself on the list and asked the man if I could bring you. I also said that I could provide smokes and shit so Shu, you need to be there with something for about 150 people." Y/n rambled. "Aria, keep on the low though. You're not a present figure."
"Yes ma'am!!" Aria chorused.
Kimiko shot her an annoyed look but secretly felt a sense of happiness.
"What's the deal. Why would they hold an event?" Shu interrogated.
Kimiko didn't know but she had one thing on her mind. Build connections with the gang. The others in the room had a similar idea as well but they'd never admit that. As the leader, she needed to step up.
"BONTEN is uptight so I doubt they'd let anyone know but I'm thinking it's about business."
She glanced over to Shu and he cracked a grin to her gaze.
"Let's take this opportunity to talk to them privately and introduce them to us. Aria, you step down on this one. Me and Shu will do the talking, don't expect this to be free time though. Make sure you study the other people at the event."
Aria nods. Shu focuses.
'Y/N should be wary of who she messes with.' Kimiko thought.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈‍ ɞ·˚ ✩
Tumblr media
“Hey, Kakucho. Who told that one bitch about our event?” Mochizuki asked him at the VIP section of the bar as they just finished the final few touches of the event.
Kakucho and Kokonoi got confused about what he was talking about. The 2 walked over to try and look at the phone he was holding and Y/N just took a glance from her side across the room.
“I told them.” Y/N said.
“Wasn’t it supposed to be underground?” Kakucho asked, “It kinda makes us look desperate…you know?”
Mochizuki looked at the phone in confusion as everyone was on the same page of this being laid-back and secretly trying to find someone to ally with. Nothing too public. That was indeed not the case though and Y/N had other plans that differed with the group.
“It’s just for a bit of excitement. We haven’t said shit or made any moves in a while. Keeps the people thinking and people might less pussy and actually talk to us.” Y/N explained.
The time had now been 10:45 and the rest of the members were doing their own thing while Mikey looked at you with his cold eyes. He was curious about the way you stood silent and looked at the ground instead of scrolling on your phone as usual.
The B2 tweet really got the people going insane and some envied the groups and those who had come out saying they were going. Your ego was as big as a pool but your cold demeanour covered it up. He thought you’d look at them as a laugh.
“Y/N. Let’s talk outside.” Mikey asked.
✈︎ ˖°ʚ 🐈‍ ɞ·˚ ✩
“LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTEDDDD!!!!” Sanzu barged in holding a bottle of beer in front of the crowd of gang members who had arrived.
The crowd went insane after seeing the bubblegum crackhead’s words. Rindou was playing DJ that night and the EDM was echoing throughout the speakers set around the building. Girls were sitting on the speakers still looking pretty to attract the gangs and get them to feel themselves.
Mikey watched everyone from the VIP room. The security cameras had 8k quality. The average company could only wish to own the amount of cameras they have. He thought back to the conversation he had with Y/N. Something she had known.
“You have some plan. Something smartass type shit.” Mikey confronted her softly so she wouldn’t feel as if he was enraged.
“Mhm. Wanna know or something?” Y/n questioned back.
Now Mikey was faced with a sense of curiosity. He had trusted Y/N because it was mutual. She’d put her life for him and he’d do the same but they knew they’d never be in that situation. Y/N was smarts enough to cover for both of their hellish lives. Despite this, in that moment that was something that he wanted to question her on.
What Mikey didn’t realise is that Y/N knew his every expression. Even his pitch black eyes that held no emotions was something that didn’t stop her from figuring out how he really felt. His eyes staring into the ground was enough to tell her he was pondering about asking.
“I’m thinking of making small changes so we can catch these big gangs hitting their most vulnerable moments. More girls around to see how they respect women, seeing how they react under the influence of alcohol. It’s small things that set it up.” Y/n clarified.
What she said really had made a difference in how the delinquents around the club and bar were acting. Some were straight hooligans and some had acted like how old friends of his probably would’ve if they still were here.
As Mikey was attentively watching the cameras he soon realised all the members had left the room, he decided to walk out himself and become a little more social.

“I guess we have a lot more in common than I thought. Shu Yamaha, correct?” Kokonoi clarified to the man in front of him.
‘Insanely famous for exporting drugs across Hiroshima to Akita. We could use that. His brother’s motor company could be useful but I doubt he still talks to them when he’s doing shit like this.’ Kokonoi thought
“Yes Mr. Kokonoi. I’m glad I was able to talk business with someone in this industry. No one seems to think about the future in our work. All they do is think about throwing fists and updating their body count just to go home and hook up with someone they barely know!” Shu chats to the executive.
“Agreed. You can never know about what comes next but it’s still vital to stick to the present. Time is of the essence, am I right? Most of the people tonight are on wanted lists. Especially BONTEN. The moment this doesn’t work out we won’t be able to get proper jobs without people fearing our past.”
“Of course. I think I’ll be taking my leave.” Shu said
Shu walke away but before he could go too far, Kokonoi walked over behind him and tapped his shoulder.
“Do you mind if I got a business card?”

can you do boynextdoor ideal types ??
Boynextdoor Ideal Types
Jaehyun
in his case, Jaehyun's ideal type is a boss girl
like someone who has their shit together
that gives off a strong vibe
who are naturally pretty
short sided with shirt hair
who he likes when they tie their hair
someone who is smart
who has made good studies and who is successful in their professional life
because his ideal type needs to be independent and not depend on him financially
Jaehyun's ideal is someone who takes skincare seriously
who takes their health serious as a whole
who have a fair skin
who take care of their appearance
but without making it too obvious
Sungho
Sungho's ideal type is a little like Jaehyun's
in the sense of stability
like its someone who also has their shit together
someone who he can trust and have faith in
he needs his partner to be dependent
and actually be responsible for things
so his ideal type is someone who is mature for their age
who likes to be organized
the typical "home wife" might also be something that he seeks on his perfect ideal
yet someone who is also smart
and has a type of professional status
Sungho's ideal type physically is someone who is simple
who is not extravagant
who knows how to cook
he probably is more into skinny time of people
Riwoo
Someone sexy
sensual
with that cat eye type
who stares deep into his soul and makes him feel buttlerflies
he wants someone more edgy, more vibe grunge for exemple
probably is into goth/rock people but that's another story
his ideal type is someoen passionate
with a deep emotional connection with him
since its important for him to have that connection that goes beyond love, it needs to be a soul thing
Riwoo's ideal type is someoen that will be jealous and possessive of him
someone who isnt scared to fight for him and conquer him everyday
There's the need of reciprocity in the feeling
physically he doesnt care much beside what I said earlier
and also maybe some sharp features in their face
ohh and if they have tattoos or piercings that can be a plus!
also a big booty
Taesan
Taesan's ideal is a family girlie
someone who has the same ideals than him when it comes to building a family
someone who Is honest with their emotions
Taesan is the type to dream of a family, have a home, have a dog
so his partner needs to have these type of dreams as well
someone who also gets well in the pattern of "perfect wife"
Taesan's ideal is someone with a big chest
a round face and eyes
nice thin hair
with a gentle side
someoen who is sensitive
so that way he can provide and take care of them
his ideal is someone who is very feminine
who dressed cutely
and who isnt the sexy type since for him that might be too vulgar of this ideal type
Leehan
His ideal type is exactly like Sungho's
so someone who is physically short
with short hair
who has a round face
with big eyes
who have that maturity feeling around them
his ideal type is equally the perfect "wifey" material
so someoen who knows how to cook and take care of home
who is probably family oriented
yet they have to be smart
and still have their job of their own
Leehan's ideal has to be responsible and organized
with a straight and simple personality
someone who people dont notice much at first
someoen more int+ the quiet and introverted side
Woonhak
his ideal type is someoen different from the rest
someone that is actually very adventurous
who probably likes traveling
and has a perception of the world that Is more opened
so probably someone who isnt too conservative
someone who is funny as hell
but Woonhak would also like if they were a little reckless
a little feisty
without overbearing
just for the spice and the personality in a sense
physically they dont care much as long as his partner can have some nice thick thighs
like on the athletic side maybe
his ideal type is someone who gives the energy of "I would fight a bear" and yet is 5'3

I am not sure if anyone would read a plot like that. But I am playing with the idea of an AU
BUCK/TOMMY BODYGUARD AU - FREE FALLING
Evan Buckley, Buck for his friends and management, is a rising star in action cinema. He often portrays rugged, charming characters who attract the attention of many women. Despite his success, these roles only partially satisfy Buck. However, they provide the financial means to sustain his opulent lifestyle. His management perceives him as a ladies' man and arranges multiple romantic entanglements. Initially, everything seemed fine. However, the situation takes a dark turn when Buck's "girlfriends" are killed one by one, and he begins receiving menacing letters.
From now on, instead of another love affair, he has a bodyguard at his side. At first, the two men behave like cats and dogs. But there's a reason for this. Buck's bodyguard unleashes a chaos of emotions in the younger man, threatening to throw him off course even more than he already is.
Tommy Kinard is a highly skilled professional who protects individuals from politicians to celebrities. Despite a severe injury (sustained during his time with the Navy SEALS), he pursued various career paths, including serving as a private investigator and trying his hand at helicopter flying in Hawaii, before eventually entering the bodyguard business with his longtime friend Bobby Nash. Bobby and his wife Athena successfully operate Bedlam Securities, a highly sought-after agency in Los Angeles with additional offices in New York and Chicago. When Buck's management approaches Bobby and Athena, they see an opportunity to entice Tommy back into the business. The recent loss of his protege, a musician, has left Tommy with self-doubt, even though he wasn't responsible for the musician's death. After facing multiple struggles with drug withdrawal, the musician's career came to an end, culminating in a failed farewell tour that ended tragically at an after-party. Tommy believes he could have prevented the musician's death had he been present that night.
Tommy is less than enthusiastic when Bobby and Athena introduce him to their new client. But something about the younger man, who everyone calls Buck, piques his interest. And because Tommy isn't everybody else, he calls him by his first name, Evan. Something the actor finds cute. The more time they spend together, the closer they become, which surprises Tommy, given the number of women who send his client used underwear by courier and other weird stuff. Buck awakens feelings in Tommy that he thinks he has buried forever after a failed relationship. Neither can deny that they are heading down a dangerous path as they learn that their relationship is more than business. Without a doubt, this assignment will inevitably put them both at risk in more ways than one.
The idea was sparked my post here

i won't lie, coming from a cat owner but it really feels like that you can't share about anything regarding your pets online, otherwise people would automatically assume you as "irresponsible", even though your doing the best you can with what resources you have
Oh its HORRIBLE! And i do understand, there are enough videos out there of people who aren't caring for their pets properly - and I mean like... full on neglect and/or abuse... but thats not the case for every single fucking person posting something about their animals online.
Cats don't get as much of the brunt of this - I owned rats for years and there are many communities that will tear you to shreds for innocuous shit!!!
LIke I said, i DO GET IT. I love animals, i love MY animals... but holy fuck man you dont know those people, their pets, their financial situations, their vets, their resources !!!!
I live in a small town on an island!!!!!! Im on disability!!!!!! I dont make enough money for pet insurance and dont qualify for payment plans or loans!!!!!! Croutons is extremely picky and doesnt like wet food!!!!!!!! I have done so much god damn research into what will help him !!!!!!!!! If i needed help I would ask - i HAVE asked... I've just asked my friends.
Idk... if you're concerned about a pet you see online at least have the due diligence to read through all the information that that person has provided about them?
I might write up another FAQ again

ART COMMISSIONS OPEN! FINANCIAL HELP DESPERATELY NEEDED!
The title is what it says on the tin; I'm opening up art commissions, because after my next paycheck I don't know how much I'll be getting after that, or how much, and I'm desperate for work and some kind off income because I am literally in danger of losing a place to live. I need need NEED income if I want to continue to, well, live.
Tumblr media
My Ko-Fi
My deviantART
NOTICE: I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY COMMISSIONS THAT I DEEM INAPPROPRIATE. THIS INCLUDES ART CONTAINING HATE SPEECH/HOMOPHOBIA/TRANSPHOBIA/APHOBIA/RACISM/BIGOTRY/ANTISEMITISM/ETC.
How do I pay you? I take payments via my Ko-fi or PayPal ([email protected]), half before I start the sketch and the other half on delivery. That is set in stone; I will not accept any kind of cryptocurrency or things like Amazon or Walmart gift cards as payment. None of those can be used to pay rent, and paying rent is exactly what I need.
Do you do NSFW? Not at present; I'm not comfortable drawing NSFW content, though doing shirtless and swimsuits are fine. However I won't draw sex, and I won't draw straight-up full-frontal nudity.
Do you do furries/anthros? I'm not gonna lie, I don't have much experience drawing anthros--THAT BEING SAID, if you want to commission me to draw an anthro character or your fursona, it's definitely on the table and I'll do my danged best--even if it takes a bit longer than non-furry/anthro characters.
Do you draw mecha? I...have zero experience drawing mecha. Do I like mecha anime? Yes (Evangelion my beloved). So this is a soft no on my part, purely because of my own lack of skill with the subject matter.
Do you draw horror and/or gore? Hard no. Not simply because I can't draw said gore (which I can't, same reasons as the mecha explanation above), but because it's another one of those things that I'm not 100% comfortable drawing at the moment.
^HOWEVER, this question comes with a caveat: I will draw eldritch horror. Y'know, eyes where they don't belong, tentacles, pulsating masses, bodies that're just...weird? Those are fun. So, negotiable, but keep in mind that if you want slasher-type stuff that ain't my jam.
Will you send me progress pics? YES. At every stage of the process, I'll both scan the image and take photos to make sure that what I'm working on is the direction you want to go.
What about reference images? If you have references you want to provide, whether they're drawn by you, someone else, google image search, etc, then I'd appreciate it so I have an idea of what your character looks like. Written descriptions are also fine if you don't have any visuals--basically, if you know what your character looks like and you have some way to communicate that to me in a way that puts us both on the same page, we're good.
Can I use your art as an NFT? NO. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I ACCEPT A COMMISSION TO CREATE NFTS, IF THAT IS THE REASON YOU WANT TO COMMISSION ME THEN GO FIND SOMEONE ELSE.
Can I use your art to train an AI algorithm? NO. AI art is the reason why artists like myself are being pushed out of work; if you're only commissioning me to get hold of some works so that you can train an algorithm to make more based on my style, then you don't actually want to buy art; you're just looking for some excuse to screw yet another artist over.
If I don't have the money right now, can I just pay you the full amount later? While I understand the desire to buy art but not having the funds, the whole reason I'm opening commissions is because I don't have enough money to survive. Paying me half now and half upon completion is non-negotiable, because I can assure you my need to be able to make rent and feed the Fuzzballs (aka the cats, please ask me about them I will go total Maes Hughes on them because they are PERFECT) is as strong as yours to make sure your expenses are covered as well.
Are the prices negotiable? To an extent, though the prices you see in the image above are the minimum; I won't go lower than these.
I want something that isn't listed on here/I have an unusual request, can you do it? That is something we'd have to negotiate, but it's not off the table. I do some weirdo drawings for myself in my free time (I've graced several servers I'm in on discord with the little wonders known as Eyeshrooms, no I will not elaborate here), so I can do other weird stuff too (as long as it's SFW).
Do you have more art examples I can look at? Yes! I have a deviantART page, though due to the company's own exploitative and artist-harming features they've rolled out, I've been working on glazing everything in my gallery there (if you haven't heard of Glaze and Nightshade, they're both really cool and you ought to check them out, seriously I really really really want to start using them both on my art SO BAD but I CAN'T) and migrating to Inkblot and Cara.app. Once I have links to both of those, I'll add them to the post!
You said traditional art...can you do digital? No, unfortunately; I don't have a device powerful enough to run a good art program (not for a lack of trying; attempts at experimenting with Krita have only resulted in it crashing the laptop I've been using, which is bad because it isn't even mine), nor do I have the funds to be able to get one--and I don't know when, or if, that'll happen. This circles back to the initial problem; I don't have the funds to pay for what I need to survive, which means I literally cannot afford to save for a new, more powerful laptop for myself. As it is, I've been borrowing my roommate's laptop for everything I need to do that requires the use of a computer, as mine died back in 2020 and I haven't been able to scrape together enough to even get a bare-bones basic one myself.
If there are any other questions you need me to answer, then please please PLEASE send them to me in a DM here and I'll do my best to answer them! And please, I'm begging you, I'm begging you so much, even if you don't buy something please spread this around I need the income desperately. I'm not lying when I say that my ability to continue living is in danger, I literally do not know if I'll even be able to pay my rent next month. I need every penny I can get, just to be able to have a chance of surviving, and what determines if I can keep a roof over mine and the cats' heads and if we're out on the street with nowhere to go is very much determined by if I can get commission work. So even if you can't buy anything, or only get a headshot or two, please spread the word. Reblog this. Share it in tweets. Post the link to this post on Facebook, link it on Discord, if you have friends who are looking to commission art tell them because I'm desperate and terrified that I might not have a place to live come October. I'm begging, please, I need the help. I need the help more than I can put into words. I don't want to die.
(Also big shoutout to @nomnomroko for putting together the commission sheet, thank you so much!)

Joe Quinn's Dream Partner
Someone not Doja Cat. The end. ....j/k
No, for reals
Page of Pents: "They often seem studious, but once you get to know them they are quite funny" Loyal and dedicated to the relationship. Somebody who is diligent and focused. Goal-oriented and ambitious. Grounded/down to earth. My Page has dark hair and dresses a bit quirky.
Lovers side: Upright means a balanced, loving supportive relationship. Making the choice to commit to this person. Rev could mean he is currently feeling imbalanced and like there's too many choices. Making the WRONG choices *cough, cough*. I think he wants the former but if hes playing the field right now, it will soon get old. He could also fear commitment. Another thing I thought this card could mean is a seemingly imbalance of love meaning it might seem like he's so in love with this person that to an outsider looking in, he loves her more than she loves him, or vice versa.
Knight of Pents: He's looking for somebody that is financially secure. This doesn't mean he isn't going to be generous and provide for her, but he wants to know that is not what her main goal for being with him is. Somebody that at least knows how to handle her finances. He is also looking for a serious relationship with someone who can fulfill his emotional needs and is dedicated to him.
Queen of Cups: Someone emotionally available and mature. A companionate and caring person. It seems his needs are someone who will listen and offer advice and have a calming demeanor. Nurture him. He is looking for someone that he can deepen his relationship with and continue to do so. It also mentions someone that may attract a lot of suitors. Possibly he likes knowing he has someone that everyone wants.
7 of Wands: He may want someone to fight for and who will fight for him. He may find himself having to defend this person. Whether because of family/friends or because of fans.
5 of Cups: Joe may have had a lot of disappointment in his life and he is looking for someone who can relate to this. He appreciates the fact that someone has been through some shit and has come out the other side. I think they will bond over it. There's also a chance they will face some grief or disappointment together. It will bring them closer as partners.
10 of Cups: Ultimately, Joe is searching for lasting happiness and a happy home life. He may want to start a family with someone and build a strong foundation. I can feel that he will do all he can for his wife and children someday. He will adore them and want to provide for them.

It's time I let the cat out of the bag after alluding to it for too long. Since the release of Overwatch: Declassified, I've been working on an entire rewrite of Overwatch's canon. While setting it up on a Miraheze wiki, I've also been writing a story for Lena on Archive of Our Own that fleshes everything out to a highly unnecessary extent, and it has over 22,000 words so far. The story is more self-indulgent than anything, so I don't expect anyone to read it, but it's been easier to write to my heart's content and condense everything for the wiki afterward.
(If you only read the wiki, then you'd be missing out on a lot of Lemon Tea and Dad: 76 fluff and angst, as it is my rewrite, after all, but that'd be your loss.)
I have no idea when I'll make these two projects of mine public, if ever, but as of right now, I've written all the way up to the start of London Calling #2, so it might not be so far off. (This is why I was talking about Lizzy the other day!)
What I'll make public now, however, is a screenshot from the last update I made on Lena's page.
Tumblr media
Realistically, I can't release anything until I finish writing the timeline of at least the major overarching story between Overwatch, Talon, and Null Sector. For reference, though, Mondatta died on March 15th, 2076, Zero Hour takes place in late February of 2077, and Overwatch 2's Story Missions take place in mid-April of the same year, making Lena twenty-seven in the present day. (I just really hated Overwatch 2's two-year time skip.)
The "Early Life" section I've written isn't the cleanest it could be, but I have no writing experience, and Lena being a teenager is pretty vital to their character, I'd say, so cut me some slack. The idea was that Lena would enlist in the RAF as soon as possible with forged documents and get accepted on the spot because the RAF has been struggling with a lack of interest from the public, and they would only fly the Slipstream mere months later because the RAF bribed someone from the UN to make it happen. Here, take a screenshot of something I wrote on Jack's page as a note for my plans for him, as well, to make things easier.
Tumblr media
I liked this idea because-- you know what? Have another screenshot, this time from Archive of Our Own! Wow, I am just full of surprises today.
Tumblr media
All right, all right. Why am I sharing all of this? Well, dear reader, I implore you to take note of when I revised Lena's wiki page. Now, imagine my reaction when I read this description from Hazard's story yesterday:
Tumblr media
(My reaction:)
Tumblr media
Now, imagine my shock when I saw this page:
Tumblr media
(My shock:)
I get it isn't exactly an unheard-of trope, but SERIOUSLY?
Now, I have my Overwatch heroes I don't like all too much, but I've never had a hero I've outright hated. This guy, however? He took everything from me. He straight-up does not exist in my canon. I do not perceive him.
The Phreaks can still exist, even the members introduced in his comic because they're cool, but I guess the Oasis subplot will just never happen without Hazard. (For that, I hope it doesn't have massive ramifications on Blizzard's canon and overarching lore, or else it'll get real messy for me.)
On the bright side, I suddenly don't feel bad for completely deleting characters in my perception of Overwatch's canon. It is NOT looking good for Kiriko right now...
(EDIT: After some cooling down, I'll probably still have Hazard grow up in poverty, just with two loving parents who don't die or become an alcoholic. He'll go to the military with the promise they'll pay for his education, feeling obligated to help his parents financially, and everything else can play out as normal. Maybe his parents could cut him off, seeing how much of a "monster" he's become with The Phreaks after they provide his body modifications, and meeting Susannah and Revel can teach him he's no better than omnickind, which society has taught him to see as "the enemy" his entire life. Actually, run that back. I'll also have him lose his limbs to an IED or something because I think the Overwatch jet thing is stupid. As for Kiriko, I'll say it: her age aside, her fox powers are also ridiculous. While the powers of The Iris deserve to go unexplained, I'm pretty sure the old writers also said Zenyatta's kit is not canon. Kiriko, meanwhile, uses everything in her cinematic. Her fox shrine lets her eat as many donuts as she wants. Ugh, I hate most of Overwatch 2's heroes' writing. Maybe it's for the best that Venture doesn't have any. Don't ruin them for me, Blizzard.)

Tumblr media
my brain's on a roll with these headcanons, so here's another one folks.
stanley's always had a love for animals deep down. he was always the kid who approached wild animals even if they weren't exactly the most sanitary. he'll take the scratches and bites without hesitation if it meant meeting a new furry friend. the best example being his possum companion, shanklin. he literally found a wild possum and went "you're my friend now >:D"
but even if he brings multiple animals home to his parents, never has he been allowed to keep them, even if they were regular dogs or cats. this is mainly because of his family's financial situation during his childhood, which i imagine wasn't the greatest. they simply didn't have enough money to care for a pet. but i can also imagine his parents being a bit creeped out/disgusted at the sight of their son bringing home dirty, smelly, probably diseased animals, and they wouldn't want their home to end up smelling the same, so they declined each time. he more than likely heard "you can get a pet when you're older" more times than you can count.
Tumblr media
but even when he got kicked out, stanley never got a pet of his own. on one hand, he was struggling so much financially, barely being able to provide for himself, so how on earth was he going to care for an animal? and two, with such dangerous methods he was using to obtain money during his drifter years, he'd only be putting the animal in danger being around him. so in the end, he simply couldn't take the risk.
waddles was probably stan's first experience of having a "pet" again, even if he technically belongs to mabel. even if that pig has gotten him and their family into so much trouble, deep down, he loves that little guy so much.

Hypotheticals
( Reply to @crowmero reblog. Sorry!! I didn't want to reblog because it was already long 😂 )
Admin: Faaauuust! You got a response!! The marry, kiss, kill thing!
Faust: Oh? Who is Charles being switched with?
Admin: Vlad-
Faust: No.
Admin: ????? You didn't even read everything! 😠 Get over here.
*reads everything*
Faust: I rather switch him with Leonardo
Admin: Why? All the points against Vlad are pretty fair.
Faust: Every claim against Vlad is the exact reason why I wouldn't try to kill him - At least until I find a infallible way - . If I try to kill him without a full proof method, all the points they made that could "potentially happen", will happen in that exact moment. Of course he can just change his mind one day and use us, kill us, or play his mind games, but I believe my odds are better this way than trying to kill him. If they can provide me with a guaranteed method to kill a pure blood I'll it do. Also, if Vlad has had enough alcohol he won't even notice a kiss.
Admin: ... Mhmmmm... So... what about the strawberry incident?
Faust: ... that's irrelevant
Admin: 🤨
Faust: He tried to induce regurgitation, that's all. I'm not saying anything more on that matter.
Admin: So you won't feel guilty about trying to kill Leonardo?
Faust: He'll be fine. I'll try to kill him, he'll probably pass out for a few days but ultimately be fine.
Admin: ... Right... So please explain to me why this wasn't your answer from the beginning. Why put Charles through the idea of being killed for your twisted thought process?? You could've just said all this from the beginning instead of giving these "reasons" why you wouldn't kill Vlad... We all know that you don't do it because you literally can't.
Faust: Look, our relationship may be strange but it is what it is. It's all hypothetical anyway, I wouldn't actually kill Charles for such a pointless reason.
Admin: Meanie 😤 Charles was crying yesterday.
Faust: How is it my fault he took the hypothetical seriously?
Admin: For someone who keeps calling it a "hypothetical" you sure took the thought of the consequences of trying to killing Vlad seriously. You are in no position to judge.
Faust: I'm done with this. I've said what I needed.
Admin: Apologize to Charles!
Faust: ...
Admin: Now 😡
Faust: My deepest apologies Charles. I should have taken our wonderfully twisted family into consideration when deciding this hypothetical scenario. There. Now let go of my sleeve before I bite you.
Admin: Excuse me?! I'll bite you back harder 😤
Faust: That's fine. Let's experiment to see who can bite the other harder, first one to be unable to tolerate the bite has to be a personal slave for a day.
Admin: Eww! You're crazy! Get away from me *pushes him away*
Faust: Hehehe 😈 ... By the way, Crowmero, I don't have another name to use... You can't hide behind anything, I see your marriage thoughts. It's better to be honest, you never know what will happen. You can come be a cat with me and leave your claw marks. If you truly don't like the castle, I have more than enough financial means to make other arrangements.
( That's the end! It's in a different format, but I hope that's okay! Thanks for the fun discussion!! )

So I really want to get another cat. Thing is, there’s several reasons why it’d be a good idea (boy has a playmate, I think my ideal number of cats is 2, and give a kitty in need of a home a nice one) but also a lot of reasons I know it’s not a good idea *right now*
First reason is I’m not sure I’m fully ready for it. There’s still a part of my brain that hopes that this new new cat (I’m gonna need another system when I do get one lmao) would act more like old cat and I’ve had enough pets to know that’s a red flag that means you’re not ready yet. It just leads to disappointment when your new pet doesn’t behave like the old one when they were never going to, every animal is a unique individual and no two will give the same experience even when they are similar. And I know this. But the heart still wants
Also two cats, especially when one is brand new to the living situation and is still adjusting, is more work than one and for several reasons my energy lately has been pretty low. So. Am I up for that right now? I’m not sure. I’m sure I could rise the occasion if it’s needed, but like. Would it be a good idea to put myself into that situation at the moment? I’m not sure it would be. Even if I do miss having two cats a lot
There’s also the matter of living situation. Last year I was hoping to move, as I’m getting to the point in my life where it is time to Purchase a living space instead of rent. Which is terrifying tbh lmao, but it is a thing none the less. Plus I just really want a bit more space at this point, and certain conveniences (oh how I long for my own laundry devices) that I don’t currently have. But with old cat, that just didn’t end up being in the cards cause my babies are always my priority above all else (the financial hit also didn’t help - I’m only just recovering from it now). I was simply not going to move while she was old and fragile and dying of cancer
However, my province also sucks! And it recently decided it’s gonna suck even more! Not as much as most of the US, at least not yet, but. It’s not promising. And the long term prospects are also Not Great (both in terms of social things and economically as well like, things are probably going to get worse long before they get better, if they ever do get better). And my city isn’t *the worst* but it’s more expensive than ideal. So it’s like. Do I want to buy a place here? I don’t know. But do I want to move out of this province? I also don’t know
Cause moving adds a lot of factors, even if I stay in the same province but look at a cheaper city. And leaving the province, okay, which to go to? This one’s nice but expensive and has weather I don’t like, and that ones cheap but also there’s a decent risk things will get worse there politically. And then there’s a risk the whole country will get fucked politically next year but I am doing my utmost to not worry about it until it is actually an immediate problem
And then there’s factors like, all the people I know are here (even if I’m bad at seeing them a lot). Familiar grocery stores and restaurants, other amenities, hell, my internet company is not fully national last I checked - will I have to switch providers? Work isn’t an issue as I work from home and we have people in multiple provinces, but like. Literally everything else is. I’ve lived here my entire life. I don’t know what it would be like to move that far. I’ve never done it
(And there’s also like. A sort of political responsibility. I read a lot after the shitty thing was announced and like. Some people are leaving. Some are staying because fuck you, bigots will not drive me from me home, I will fight back. Some are staying because they can’t afford to leave. And some are staying because if everyone who can leave does leave, then who’s left to at least try to fight this shit for those at risk who can’t get out? Especially as while I’m not in the demographic currently at risk, I’m in an adjacent one so it’s like. No, I’m not at risk yet but it’s possible I will be some day, but I also do feel some level of responsibility to try to help those who are currently at risk because I’m not)
And my dad is planning to leave (though unclear how firm that plan is right now and unclear exactly where) and is like ‘well come with me’ and I’m gonna be honest I. Don’t really want to like. I’m in my 30s. There is a part of me that feels like it’s time to get a bit more space from my family. My mom moved already for other reasons, so I don’t physically see her often, but technology is a thing so. Quite frankly my parents are both really bad at having friends so being literally the only person one of them knows in an entire city is kind of a nightmare scenario for me lmao. I need my space. I get annoyed when I get texted too often, I am NOT going to be your sole social contact. And I know that’s what would happen if we both moved to the same place with no one else. And even without all that, we have differences of opinions in “ideal place to live” so. I know they’re (dad goes by they/them) going to try to pressure me but if I’m sure of anything, it’s that I don’t want that
And, to circle this all back, there is also my kitty boy: he does NOT travel well. At all. He has panic attacks in the car that leave him panting and screaming within about 1 minute of being in there. We are trying to work on it, given transport is important for vet visits, but progress is slow. I was thinking he might have to get the old gaba just for me to be able to move within the city. He’s an anxious little guy. It’s gonna be tough for him, both the general realities of moving and the driving to the new place part. And I originally wasn’t really thinking of moving anywhere out of a 20 min or so radius of where I currently live partly for that reason
So to move to another province (and please remember Canada is Huge, like, this would be several hours or even multiple days of driving), I don’t know if I can even do that in a way that’s safe for him. Drugs are an option, but depending on where, it could be an unfeasibly long drive to do that with. And god, planes, I can only imagine how much worse he would be on a plane (even though I’d NEVER let him ride in the cargo, I’d buy an extra seat if I had to). He could have a stress-induced heart attack and die and if this is in transit, I’d be powerless to save him and I’d have to live the rest of my life knowing I killed him
And so with all of that, I’m like. I really can’t get another cat until I know wtf I’m doing and implement that because it would be awful for the new kitty if I got them and then immediately moved somewhere, either close or far. I can’t do that, it would be cruel. So like. Idk, I just don’t know what to do
I’m also aware that like. There are two problems in this ramble and the one I opened with is not really the larger one lmao but like. Genuinely I do not know what to do and that’s scary so I’m just kinda frozen here thinking how nice it would be to have a second floof gallivanting around the apartment but also knowing I can’t really have that right now (unless the cat distribution system decides to give me no choice in the matter lmao but I’m not expecting that to happen)

Hi Jasper, hope you're doing well. My name is Stephanie (She/Her).
I am a self-taught dancer and a lyricist, I study Business Administration and I post my dance videos on social media but I don't have a big audience. I keep the lyrics I write to myself though.
For context of my question, I've been a big fan of many successful dance crews and dream of joining them someday but I think I don't have enough skills. However, I feel I'm not going anywhere with my dancing and that I might not be able to reach it, should I shift my focus from dancing and look for another way to success?
Hello Stephanie! Before we get into the tarot reading, I need to stress that choosing your career direction shouldn't hinge on a single tarot reading from a rando like me on the Internet. I'm just here to provide insight, not tell you how to live your life. Unfortunately, I've had people think that before, so we gotta start with the disclaimer.
Now, for this reading, I have chosen Cthulhu's Vault, which has given us the Four of Coins upright.
Tumblr media
This deck is wonderfully edgy. And very pretty. But soooo painful to shuffle.
Now, the Four of Coins in this deck depicts a zealot of Cthulhu, because of course it does. He pursues his greatest journey and aims to please those around him. He's excited by the thought of a journey or the idea of winning. He's ready for anything.
This card represents potential and surety, potentially to the point of obsession. There's a strong foundation set and the question of financial security is brought up. You've followed your passions - has it resulted in wealth? If not money, then wealth of knowledge or experience? Don't be stubborn and inflexible like the zealot is.
So basically, are you in a place where you can keep sinking time and money into dancing to pursue joining a dance crew? Or is most of it already going to your business administration studies? Can you keep spreading yourself thin to pursue both of these passions (at least, I hope business administration is also a passion for you), or are you tired of being too little margarine over too much Jorts? (I'm sorry if that analogy makes no sense, but look up Jorts the Cat and you'll soon understand.) Ultimately, my question back to you is,
What do you want, Stephanie?
I hope this has given you some things to think about! If you feel so inclined, please feel free to send feedback in my ask box and/or reblog my new reading guidelines!
~Jasper
