Why did this happen?
Tumblr media
breathe and close your eyes to concentrate if you prefer. for reflection. hope you enjoy and it is insightful. ❤️
pile number 1 - Oh, yes, pile number 1. you went through a time of difficulty, scarcity, a place where you were not being treated fairly, you may have probably left an unbalanced place, where your voice was not heard and you felt rushed and devalued. That is really tough pile number 1, im really sorry to hear that. This happened because you deserved better. You deserved to leave this cramped space without scales, to a better place. Clearly a new place where you feel valued, heard and back in your personal power. you deserve the best. This situation may have been in a work environment, when rejecting a project or job proposal. But it can also be a friendship, a long-term relationship, among other varied aspects in your current reality.
cards - 5 of pentacles, queen of wands rx., temperance rx., king of pentacles.
card of advice - 9 of swords. If you are feeling very anxious, it is recommended that you visit a psychologist, therapist and return movement in your life, starting with something that you consider simple or easier, it could be cleaning something from your space and or physical exercise if it is possible. thank you so much. take care. you matter.
------------------------------
pile 2 - Oh, pile 2. It's an intense energy, I tried to prepare myself as much as possible to transmit this message. It is very likely that you have gone through a situation where you cannot be the charitable, kind and loving person that you are. You had to fight not to get hurt on this situation, whether by setting limits or trying to trust yourself again. In other words, if you didn't raise your guard you would have continued in a very exhausting cycle. It may have been an argument, a fight, a cut in something that you may have asked yourself 'but I don't act like this normally, what happened to me'. These thoughts may have occurred because you are a really good person and may not be used to putting yourself first. you were spiritually guided. Strongly, I'm listening. You may have had digestive system problems probably due to stress.
But hey, here we go again. You were guided to the best path, to choose what is good for you and also choose what is choosing you. You deserve to be the charitable person you are, to do that project that few believe in, to be your authentic truth. There is also a request to improve your spiritual protection, connect with your spirituality - more messages will arrive for you, good things. Take good care of yourself, don't be too alert, you are being taken care of, but also continue your journey of protecting yourself from what is bad for you, be it habits, people, spaces, etc. thank you very much. additional message - see you soon.
cards - 3 of pentacles, queen of cups rx, 9 of swords rx, 7 of wands rx, the lovers, the star.
---------------------------
pile 3 - hii pile number 3! did you thought about something good that happened, right? This could be someone who defended you or someone who defended you without you even realizing it, 'behind the curtains' kind of thing. Or maybe you might be thinking about a crush or something that gives you happiness and a feeling of completeness, like working on something to improve your self-esteem.
In other words, you may have thought of a certain good thing that happened to you. If this is your case, my pile number 3, is because you deserve it - you radiate completeness, friendship, truth to people, you don't hide your true face. with the card of the lovers, the star, the world in a single reading - it could also have been a gift from the universe, a Divine gift.
-- With the clarification with the Page of Wands card, this may have pushed you to continue, think about your future, create new ideas, open new horizons and prepare you for what comes next on your journey. If something good happened to you after a difficult time, it could also have been a form of... kind of 'justice', from the universe towards you, my pile number 3. a plan, there is.
Four of wands also, how beautiful! Really, if you thought of something good, it really is a celebration that occurred around you. Congratulations, my pile number 3!! You overcame something, achieved something important, even if you may not even realize what it is - but in some cases, yes, it is possible to realize what you did. right. This deserves a celebration, congratulations my pile number 3! Take good care of yourself, I hope this message resonated and was useful to you. thank youu

SORRY I KNOW ITS WEIRD ASKING A HP TUMBLR BLOG FOR LIFE ADVICE BUT IM SO CURIOUS HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME
Tumblr media
this is a genuine answer.
i think it's very important for there to be no doubt about the fact that - without medication - i would be fucked. there are plenty of non-medical ways of helping to manage adhd, but stimulant medication is the frontline treatment for a reason - no matter what the latest moral panic says. you cannot girlboss your way out of having an incurable neurological condition - and i will be honest that the few people in my life who think that you can are also the few people in my life i consider to be actively contemptible.
time management starts and ends with easily having executive function - and "easily" is the operative word. i can - of course - survive without medication - but i do so while stalked by a constant state of nervous energy which is just exhausting. not least because it ruins my sleep.
[the experience of realising that - no - you're not semi-nocturnal, you've just never before been properly calm the first time you take your pills... exquisite.]
and when i'm in the state of relative normality that legal amphetamine use brings, i manage my time by...
1. wearing a watch
no checking the time on my phone - i'll just get distracted by scrolling.
2. setting huge numbers of alarms
beat time-blindness with this one weird trick.
bonus points - if you're someone who finds it hard to switch between tasks or gets stuck hyper-focusing on things, then set the alarm and then put the device it's on far enough away from you that you have to move in order to turn it off.
3. putting everything on the wall
if you are dopamine-challenged, the best tip i can give you is that you are deluding yourself if you think you can use normal diaries/planners/to-do lists. this is why you probably have cupboards full of them.
stick everything on the wall, where you can see it, and set it up in a way that you can easily move tasks around [i.e. by using a whiteboard you can erase, or sticking your planner inside a plastic wallet and writing on it, or by having everything on sticky notes you can move around].
numbered task lists [i have to do x first, then move onto y] are a no-go - because if you don't do x, then you won't move onto y. but having groups of tasks - organised by urgency or difficulty, for example - which are right there in front of you can be selected from work much better with the adhd brain.
4. being a shark
by which i mean, being constantly on the move. desk chairs are the enemy. never sit still.
if you have adhd - and, to be frank, even if you don't - you will find that doing something physical while you need to concentrate on a task improves your ability to focus on that task. it also helps with managing time-blindness, task-switching, hyper-focus which is to the detriment of what you're supposed to be doing, and being easily distracted.
when i'm at work i literally never sit down. i use a standing desk [which, if you have a diagnosis of adhd and you're uk-based, counts as a reasonable adjustment your employer has to provide for you, fyi], and i have an under-desk treadmill [which i had to pay for myself, which i do not regret in the slightest] for tasks which really need a lot of effort to power through.
at home, i have an adjustable desk which i use as a standing desk or which i sit at while using an under-desk bike [which i use when i'm likely to get stuck hyper-focusing on something and need not to be - like if i'm writing fic but i need to meet up with friends at a certain time - because it's really uncomfortable and it therefore compels me to get up] or an exercise ball [the effort of not falling off really helps with concentration].
obviously, these types of movement are possible for me because i'm not physically disabled - it will look different for everyone, but any level of physical movement [including using fidget toys] helps with time management by improving focus.
5. body-doubling
this is a classic adhd-and-productivity thing, which means having someone physically with you while you work. they're not there to supervise you [or indeed to engage with you at all] - they're working on their own things - but the way that the adhd brain is primed for pattern recognition [and is very good at mimicry] means that you end up falling into the same rhythm as the other person.
if you need to complete something in a finite amount of time, then having someone you can body-double with is really useful, because you're less likely to get distracted from or overwhelmed by the task at hand. similarly, having a double helps prevent you getting stuck hyper-focusing.
6. owning my shit
everyone - even the most neurotypical of people - is late, or misses deadlines, or forgets meetings, or puts off tasks sometimes. it will happen no matter how brilliant your organisational system is. it's part of life.
but if you have adhd, it's very easy to fall into "well, this is just what i'm like" thinking - both self-critically ["i can't improve this, i'm a fuck-up"] and self-indulgently ["he has no right to be angry at me for being late for his party, he knows i have adhd"].
untrue. if you struggle with time management you have a responsibility to get a grip on aspects of those struggles which inconvenience other people. you will have to be quite strict with yourself in order to do this - i've ended up in a position, for example, where i'm always extremely [and often inconveniently - i do a lot of lurking outside the function waiting until it's time to go in] early for things. this is because i know that if i give myself an inch ["oh, i can wait fifteen minutes before leaving, it'll be fine!"] then i'll take a mile ["fuck, i should have left half an hour ago"].
so too with tasks. that "you can do this later... just go on your phone for a bit" voice is the devil speaking. do not listen.
i'm afraid that i've not found this becoming more intuitive with time - i have to be constantly strict with myself, in a way that neurotypical people don't - but it's just the way it is, you just have to do your best.
be community-minded about the things you need to do, be proactive in identifying what your weak areas are and thinking about how you can get around them [as i've said, mine is being late, and so i'm always hyper-alert about not slipping into complacency around this] forgive yourself for the odd slip, say sorry without caveats to people you inconvenience, thank people who are gracious, and extend grace in turn.
7. taking every bit of help going
i'm open about my diagnosis at work - which is a piece of good fortune which isn't available to everyone.
[although, if you're uk-based, a diagnosis of adhd counts as a disability under the equality act - your employer is obligated to make reasonable adjustments for you, you can't be dismissed just for having adhd, and you are entitled to bring a claim of disability discrimination if you are not provided with reasonable adjustments. you are also entitled to apply for an access to work grant - which provides financial assistance for adjustments which fall outside of the reasonable costs your employer is legally obliged to incur.]
i have adjustments at work [not only my standing desk, but things like permission to record meetings and to have all instructions issued in writing] and i feel absolutely no shame over it. if i can get something for free from the government to make my life easier, i will take it.
i am also absolutely shameless about taking advantage of my colleagues to help with time management - using them as body doubles, or asking them to get me from my office so i'm not late to things, for example - and i take advantage of my friends and family along the same lines.
human beings are social creatures - this is literally what we're designed to do - and it's incredibly important to reject the "i owe nobody anything" paradigm [which is one of the most egregious crimes of modern, poorly-regulated therapy]. i receive support, and i repay it turn by doing things for the people who help me.
8. constantly having a little treat
i am a grown adult with three degrees and a mortgage. i have also been known to use a star chart for a little flutter of pride in myself.
if you have a time management triumph, give yourself a little treat. you deserve it.

I LOVE YOU CALIBORN IM YOUR MOST DEVOTED FAN. ANYWAYS, IS LORD OF HOPE BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT OR WAT? (im a lord of hope obvssiieieieieieeeeee) (also hi calliope)
UU: hello to yoU, too!
UU: my, yoU are powerful!
UU: my brother can explain being a lord qUite a bit better than i can. instead, i will explain the hope aspect!
UU: hope can be explained partly as how we know it. a firm and Unwavering belief that things can improve, no matter the circUmstances, that helps one endUre and maintains the emotional well-being.
UU: hope extends into ensUring a timeline, altering the trajectory of a journey, and into belief!
UU: hope players can lend themselves a boost or lend others strength throUgh the power of their belief! it is an incredible and ephemeral aspect.
UU: this can lead to illUsions, and false beliefs. that is why the best parts of the rage aspect, the path of the painfUl trUth, balance out hope when it corrUpts. the reality-altering power of hope can become dangeroUs...a timeline that killed dirk's bro and jane as well involved the exploitation of jake's powers.
UU: and then there is what happens when hope is Utterly destroyed...that resUlts in the destrUction of lives as well. life and hope are not opposites, bUt the realities and harsh coUrse of life makes it freqUently clash with hope.
UU: if yoU know a life player, this may reflect in their relationship with yoU.
UU: take care as a lord of hope, player. it is a great deal of power; the ability to alter belief and illUsion can extend into reality at that level, perhaps going as far as to create a world...
***
uu: A WORTHY OPPONENT. WHO KNOWS THAT I AM THE SuPERIOR. IT IS GOOD. TO MEET SuCH A DEVOTED FAN. ARE YOu ALSO A RED CHERuB? THAT WOuLD BE INTERESTING. I HAVE NEVER MET OTHERS LIKE ME.
uu: AND YOuR CLASSPECT IS INDEED BEAuTIFUL AND PERFECT. SO MuCH SO THAT I CANNOT PERMIT YOu TO INTEFERE WITH MY GOALS.
uu: THE LORD CONQuERS. TAKES IT ALL. IS ALREADY HERE. IT IS THE PERFECT CLASSPECT. IT ABSORBS SOME OF THE STRONGEST PARTS OF OTHER CLASSPECTS. TO CREATE. TO DESTROY. TO TAKE. TO CONTROL. ALL OF THESE ARE WITHIN THE REACH OF A LORD. THEY ARE WITHIN THE GRASP OF MYSELF IN MANY A TIMELINE.
uu: A MAID CAN HAVE THEIR CAKE. A THIEF CAN TAKE THAT CAKE. A LORD CAN HAVE THAT CAKE AND EAT IT TOO BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS HIS CAKE. AND BY CAKE I MEAN YOuR ASPECT. I MEAN TIME. IS MINE. AND I WISH I HAD SOME CAKE RIGHT NOW. WHY IS THERE NO MORE CAKE IN THIS WRETCHED BuNKER.
uu: HOPE REPRESENTS AMBITION. DO YOu THINK. I WOuLD LET A RIVAL FLOuRISH? AND RISK LOSING EVERYTHING. THAT MAKES ME A CANDIDATE TO RuLE ALL OF TIME? WHILE SOMEONE ELSE. RuNS WITH ALL THE AMBITION. AND THE POWER TO WARP REALITY BY BEING AN OPTIMIST?
uu: HOPE IS AN EXCELLENT ASPECT. LIKE JAKE HAS. I WOuLD OFFER TO BE YOuR PATRON MANBRO. BuT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE LORD.
uu: WE SHALL DuEL AT SuNSET.
uu: ...SHIT.
uu: I AM STuCK HERE. THAT FuCKING SuCKS. HOW AM I SuPPOSED TO DEFEAT ALL THESE ASKERS AND ANONS. WHO THREATEN MY THRONE. WITH THEIR ANNOYINGLY VIABLE CLASSPECTS?
uu: CALLIOPE. FREE ME AT ONCE.

UU: not if yoU are going to Use that to attack people! at least free me, if yoU are going to do that!

Hi Snaily! How have you been? Im here for a pretty serious ask.
My boyfriend has been drawing for a while, I honestly think he's doing real good. But recently he's been feeling down about his art, he doesn't know why he should bother improving his art if his style is *basic* to some people, and it hurts a lot for him. He knows he should be drawing for fun and not force improvement to stress him out, but there's only so much I can do as his loving partner who doesn't draw at all.
So... what was it like for you, Snaily? When you started drawing many years back, how did you not feel like shit looking at how it could be better but you don't know how? What advice can you give to a beginner artist?
(You can answer this privately if you want btw, and ask me for his art if you need to see them. Much love <3)
hi peng!! always nice to hear from u! I'm gonna reply to this publicly because to be honest i can't resist to give this kind of advice to any and all beginner artists (but i am putting it under a readmore because as you know i love to ramble and this will get LOOONNNGGG and will Truly be The Ramblings of a Mad Man (gender neutral))
firstly, since I hear that he feels hurt by the idea that people out there might find his style "basic". That's a rookie mistake (that literally everyone makes when they start getting Serious about Art). The mistake being Caring Profoundly About an Outside Audience that's Ever Watching and Judging.
Which I literally cannot blame him or anyone for it, ESPECIALLY in this modern social media landscape where newer artists feel like they gotta get GOOD at the VIRAL RAT RACE so you gotta get that sweet, sweet validation in the form of likes, reblogs, retweets etc etc.
So that's my first tip I suppose: don't fall for the entrapment of being obsessed with getting any and all sorts of SWEET VALIDATION during your art process. This is hard to condition yourself to! I myself fall prone to it! It's actually kind of natural. Even if the validation you seek isn't online, surely you're expecting it from your peers or teachers or family members or whoever gets to look at your sketchbook (or you know, your medium of choice).
You want people to notice your art and all the effort you put into it. It's okay! DO welcome those who do!! But never NEVERRRRRR NEVERRRRRR commit the mistake of placing the value of your art on how much praise it gets from others. That's a one trip road on having an Absolute Bad Time. THE ONLY PERSON you should be looking to make happy with your art is YOURSELF first and foremost!!! Always!!! This is the Golden Rule!!!
So people (imagined or otherwise) think his style is """Basic""". Okay! That's literally not a crime anyone can arrest you for!! So what if you're LITERALLY starting and your art looks """basic"""!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE CRIME HERE!!!! CAN'T MY MAN JUST CREATE IN PEACE!!!! LET HIM COOK!!!!!
If he's starting out, i think it's pretty expected of him to just have a "basic" style you know? He shouldn't be ashamed of it! The best chef in the entire world right now didn't start making The Most Delicious Food To Ever Grace Anyone's Plate on DAY 1. They probably started with a goshdang sandwich. Many of them maybe. Until they could make the Perfect Sandwich even in their Sleep and only until then they felt ready enough to explore Further Possibilities In The Kitchen.
(Is this metaphor working? I sure hope it is!)
Anyway.
"How did you not feel like shit looking at how it could be better but you don't know how?"
Well that's a fun question because to this day I get extremely frustrated whenever I realize my Art Level isn't up to my standards. But THAT'S OKAY- even in my case!
If you're Serious About Art (as in, you LOVE making art) you'll constantly feel like you're having to catch up to artists that are doing MILES better than you. Which happens to everyone. Truly it's only the curse of having A Good Taste In Art (so you automatically Set Standards For Yourself based on what you personally consider Great Art).
So again, something to not be ashamed of. But also something to Learn To Live with. I get it!! I truly do!! You see some guy online who apparently is only 14 and they're already making compositions with complex perspectives and an amazing sense of color theory and you'll want to bite off your hands!!!! But you can't let that stop you!!
You're just gonna have to learn to Fail, Constantly. Failing Gracefully! Sucking At Art Again and Again!
You might think this conflicts with the Golden Rule (i mean, if you're not happy with your own art- then what's the point yeah?)
But it's all about Love babey. Loving the process of failing constantly, because deep down you REALIZE you're learning how not to suck little by little.
It's also an exercise in letting Spite guide you. So what if you're bad!!!!!! What if you've somehow committed the crime of being A Bad Artist!!!!!! The cops will never catch me fucker!!!!! SEE HOW I DESECRATE THE HOLY ACT OF "CREATING GOOD ART" AHAHAHAHA!!!! LITERALLY NOBODY CAN STOP ME!!!!! <- the attitude to Have. Yes you gotta be prepared to be Unhinged and to have active Disdain towards 4th Plane Entities that are probably judging your art quality. (Unless my experiences aren't universal and nobody else feels a salacious self-satisfaction whenever they draw something that looks like an affront to The Universe, knowing they can just Try Again).
Anyway those are the benefits of sprinkling a little Spite alongside all the Love for the process of Making Art.
At the start you might feel like you're only making bad art. So! Own it! unironically my life philosophy is that everyone should make more BAD ART!!! ARTISTS OF THE WORLD UNITE TO MAKE MORE BAD ART, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS!
that's for the mental approach at least.
So, what about the technical side? How do you actually take all those feelings of inadequacy and wrangle them into something productive that will help YOU get better at the art you want to make?
with the warning that i am a self taught artist so i might not the the perfect person to ask, but truly the most IMPORTANT skill you want to hone is OBSERVATION and COPYING WHAT YOU OBSERVE.
Basically you're gonna study the artists you like! You're gonna stare REAL HARD at the details in the art they make! And THEN. You're gonna try to copy THAT! Hell, you might even want to TRACE what they do at first** (**THIS ADVICE IS FOR PRACTICING. DO NOT TRACE AND THEN POST ONLINE FOR OTHERS TO GO "hey man wtf this is just you tracing X Artist" DO NOT!!! DO THAT!!!) just so you get a feel for what they have in their art that You Don't and learning how to slowly replicate that.
That's how I learned the ropes at least. Literally printing manga panels and then tracing over them during my Peak Weeb Years. Ah little snaily, how time flies. Another thing i liked to do was watch speedpaints of artists i liked but at like -2x speed. So it was a slowpaint and i could STEAL THEIR SECRETS <- another valuable art skill
Anyway, that's what I think it's the most important (to observe!)
...but also you might want to either take art classes OR watch a buuuuunch of tutorials on youtube for The Basics (basic anatomy! shading! values! color theory! perspective! gesture drawing!!!)
You feel like shit about your art? Fine! Then realize your life is your own and you have the absolute power to change that directly!! GO ON YOUTUBE AND LEARN THOSE BASICS!!!!!! don't be like me and struggle this much with perspective after years of making art!!!! (Though in all fairness, even those good at it struggle with it lol)
So! I am all out of advice for a newer artist.
TL,DR: YOU WILL SUCK A LOT AT FIRST BUT THE MORE YOU PRACTICE AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR FAILURES, THE MORE YOU'LL LOVE TO SEE YOUR IMPROVEMENT AND EVENTUALLY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THE ART YOU WANT TO MAKE.
Peng if you could forward this to your bf i would be very grateful. Good luck to you two!!! Thank you for reaching out!! And remember!! Never give up!!!!!

blog guide !!
requests are closed, but feel free to send them in regardless. just expect them to be answered a little later !
this is (for now) an across the spiderverse blog !
please allow me up to a week to write up your asks
characters i write for :
Miguel O’hara
Miles Morales
Miles 42
Hobie (let’s go brit rep)
Pavitr Prabhakar
The Spot
Peter B. Parker
Spider-Noir
general info :
i cannot stress this enough, i exclusively write everything but fem reader, y’all got enough .
that being said, feel free to request anything else at all- when it’s not specified i will just assume gender neutral for the sake of inclusion
trans readers, non-binary, everything in between and all about is completely valid here and i’m more than willing to write about it <3
i do have a health condition that can catch me some days, so there may be times where i’m inactive but it should never be for long periods of time
feel free to get oddly specific with requests ! the more i can work with, the better
but i also don’t mind if they’re just general requests that don’t require a lot of detail
i will NOT write explicit NSFW, i draw the line at clothes being removed unless it has something to do with a prompt (e.g. seeing top surgery scars for the first time), some of these characters ages are not specified yet and i don’t feel comfortable potentially writing NSFW for minors. that is a crime.
there will be some requests i won’t obviously be able to complete for a number of reasons, please do not spam me if this is the case. if i’m willing to fulfil a request i will try my best to communicate with you if needed :]
i have the right to deny requests.
i do wanna say that i am a white guy so i can’t write from first hand experience, but if you request something that includes diversity like a specific race or cultural aspects i will try my absolute best to deliver accurate works. I’ll research to whatever extent i need to (if you don’t already give some information) so i can provide for groups of people that are seriously neglected when it comes to fanfiction and such. and please, in the future, if i ever do fuck up PLEASE hold me accountable and if you can show me what i’ve done wrong and what i should’ve done; what i can do to improve, i would be so appreciative- my goal is to be as inclusive as possible with my writing and the last thing i want is to offend any body of people.
finally, there will be types of writing i can’t do for specific characters. for example, spot, idk how tf i would write like a whole one-shot when my man is how he is now so i’d probably just have to stick to headcanons n such
what i will write :
requests can be either platonic or romantic dynamics, potentially other stuff if you have any ideas. just lemme know ! i do like to consider myself half decent at writing, i’ve studied english literature and linguistics my whole life and i love it very dearly <3 i’m going on to study english as a whole at a higher level (literature, language, linguistics, creative writing)
i'm happy to also apply these headcanons to the cc's, so transgender miguel for instance! just let me know :]
i typically write in bullet points because im a mess
x male reader
x nb reader (feel free to specify if they’re ambiguous, masc leaning or whatever if it’s relevant to the ask)
x trans reader
x cis reader
x spider reader
x mutant reader
character x reader
if you request multiple characters (which is fine <3) i’ll likely default to headcanons for the sake of ease
what i won’t write :
x fem reader .
character x character
NSFW
triggering topics (excluding canon events)
weird fetish/kink stuff :[
hate speech, everyone is welcome here
masterlist :
hobie brown:
how i think Hobie would react to GN!reader calling them their husband casually, even though they’re not married
hobie brown with a transgender, vigilante reader (ftm reader)
hobie admires your fighting spirit (gn reader)
hobie’s punk, you’re metal (band edition, masc reader)
where you and hobie have the most loving connection, but don’t label it (gn reader)
where hobie meets gwens older brother (masc reader)
hobie notices how startled you get when he kisses you (gn!)
hobie realises you’re not as naive as he thought ! (gn reader)
with an s/o that cries a lot ! (gn!reader)
hobie with a snake mutated boyfriend !

miles42 with a butterfly mutated boyfriend !
miles 42 w/ and alien boyfriend !
defending his trans partner !
the spot:
the spot getting flustered by masc!reader
the spot falls into winged readers home (gn)
spider-noir:

Happy New Year everyone! Y’all got any resolutions for this upcoming year of… 243, I believe?
Hank: I don't think that far ahead.
Sanford: I ain't got time to be thinkin' that far ahead. Hell, I didn't even know it was new years...Lot going on to think about. This Auditor situation is still top priority, I'll think of resolutions once that's dealt with. If it's dealt with.
Deimos: I mean, what's a guy like me got to set for himself? I'm already smart, handsome, funny, and extremely popular. More popular than Sanford, by the way, but don't let 'im know I said that, yeah?
Doc: Oh, is it that time already? How time flies when you're saving the world. It's the same as last year's, don't let Nevada fall.
Tricky: NEW YEARS ALREADY!? WELL, I GUESS NOW'S A BETTER TIME THAN ANY TO START THAT CULT!! ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT!! EXCEPT CRACKPOT. HE'S NOT A COOL KID.
Jeb: Unfortunately I have very little to look forward to, considering my circumstances. I have little in the way of idea on what I would even do should I escape the Other Place. It's very possible that Nevada is doomed to fall, and no longer has any need for me.
Sheriff: Well, I guess it's mostly about just completin' MERC's long term goals. Right now we're still rebuildin' from the damage Sanford n' Deimos dealt, and after that we're gonna try expandin' to other parts 'a Nexus City. I got wind some other unsavory characters might be gunnin' for the science tower, and from what I understand, there's a lot of tech in there. Powerful tech. Could go sour, should it fall into the wrong hands. Best me n' my boys take care 'a it.
Crackpot: My goal remains unchanged! Spread the joy and good word of Buoyancy to all who will listen! And if they don't, well...There's always room for more Zeds. Heh heh.
Auditor: My top concern as always is Hank Wimbleton. I will not rest until he is totally defeated, and no longer a threat to Nevada. This, for now, is all that matters.
Phobos: As I am already a perfect and divine being, there is no goal I could set for myself that would improve me in anyway. You simply cannot improve on perfection. However, escaping this damned dimension would be an ideal circumstance.

Hey i was wondering, do you have any advice on how to improve on public speaking or at least have the courage to do it? I unexpectedly major in law two years ago (we don't have pre-law in my country) and it's been quite an experience considering 1) I didn't plan it. 2) im scared shitless interacting with strangers in public moreover having to talk confidently in front of them. This major is basically hell for me. The professors have told us multiple times the importance of our public speaking skill in our line of work but unfortunately i still struggle with it, so if you have some tips for it that would be wonderful
oh, do I ever. the secret is that public speaking isn't about you, it's about the information you're trying to convey.
It's scary to interact with strangers in public, and it's terrifying to feel like you have to project confidence when in your heart of hearts, you are trembling. But, why is it so scary? I won't deign to speak for you, but I know I'm terrified of (i) being rejected; (ii) revealing to others how little I belong; (iii) disappointing others; (iv) failing to be worthy of the trust others have placed in me; etc. It's all very wrapped up in me, who I am, whether I am acceptable, whether I am loveable.
These are marrow-deep, trauma-fed, chronic distortions that cannot be easily untangled. But identifying "why" here isn't about fixing them so that you can speak — it's to highlight how little those things actually relate to public speaking.
We internally frame public speaking as if it's about us. But it's not. When you are drafting any speech, preparing any argument, outlining any presentation, explaining any matter to any number of people, you're doing so to relay information such that others might interpret or act on the information how you intended.
This means that if there is something you need to improve on, it's not a fault in who you are as a person. It's a matter of adjusting your delivery or the content of your message so that your audience better understands or receives the information you're communicating.
Another way to frame it: public speaking is roleplaying. Because we occupy lots of different roles for each other. Especially when we're in service industries like law; there, you're performing a role as an advocate for your client. It's not about you. It's about performing the service you've agreed to perform for them and tailoring your delivery of that service as necessary to meet their needs.
But fully formed characters don't simply emerge forth at the outset; they must be cultivated and developed and made whole and effective through narrative arcs. Thus, failure isn't something to dread in your public speaking, nor does it chip away at your professional persona: it is the filing and the sanding and the heat treatment and the embellishment that are necessary to shaping and sharpening your communication.
(And for whatever it's worth, I have SO many stories where I've stumbled through, improvised terribly, embarrassed myself, and utterly botched public speaking opportunities. There isn't a single one that I don't look back on fondly in retrospect.
(This includes when I was 17 and speaking to a religious studies class at a local college about the lawsuit I'd filed against my school district related to religious entanglements. When asked about my relationship with my school's administration, I spent several, several minutes describing in excruciating detail the scene from the animated movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron in which the Colonel chases Spirit and Little Creek until Spirit leaps a ravine, after which the two adversaries meet each other's fierce gazes, only for the Colonel to bow his head in acknowledgment that Spirit bested him— to make the point that I wanted something similar from my high school principal. Which was an objectively deranged direction to take the conversation.)
tl;dr: Thus, the most impactful ways I've been able to improve my public speaking have been to:
adopt a growth mindset (meaning the belief that my abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication);
internalize that I'm roleplaying an advocate and so any perceived failure isn't personal, but rather feedback I feed into my advocate character's narrative development; and
practice, practice, practice, even when I'm doing it scared.

this may be a bit long!
[matchup exchange for: OBEY ME]
✦ prominent personality traits: passionate (inwards, only express when some small thing im actually interested in comes up), levelheaded, contemplative (outwardly), opinionated, honest (heart on my sleeve). realistic but optimistic about it. individualistic. i am an ambivert. sometimes my mouth runs and i trip up over what i was going to say, and i’m blunt. sx/sp, not easily impressed. im a big person on wanting improvement and having ambition (mostly for myself, but i will encourage others). people think im funny so im happy about that :] i am amiable. im the type who’s better at finding solutions rather than comfort, but i certainly try the most i can for others. for bad traits, i have a hard time empathizing with people sometimes, and i’m somewhat pushy.
✦ looks fair skin, mid-length black hair, wispy middle part. i’m pretty lanky, with a beauty mark near the corner of my left eye. light academia type of dress, with hair clips. look more cute-sque.
✦ hobbies/talents: i like to read and write and listen to music and taking walks and drawing. i'm really good at explaining things in a very cohesive manner. my logic is really good, so my persuasion is extremely good too. im very efficient and creative, which i apply to many things in real life. i also have very good intuition.
thank you for this matchup exchange! dont worry, i’ll write lots for your oc too!
It seems tome you've captured the heart of...
The Prince of the Devildom
Diavolo!
Tumblr media
On the surface level, he can respect your calm and level-headed nature. Once he gets to know you, he just falls in love with you harder. It's no secret that Diavolo is a good judge of character, and he grows to love and appreciate very facet of you.
One thing Diavolo especially likes about you is your honesty. The way your eyes light up when you speak is a sight he'll never tire of. He loves to listen about your thoughts on the subjects you're passionate about. He doesn't mind you running your tongue and stumbling over your words. In fact, this is a quirk of yours he's grown to find endearing about you. He still likes your articulacy regardless. Your logic is sound and your persuasive skills are a force to behold. You would make for a great ambassador for the Human Realm
He also likes your sense of humour so expect to joke around with him a lot.
As for your goal of self improvement, Diavolo cannot help but admire that. To quote something Leviathan (probably) said: "we stan character development." He may or may not find you to be an inspiration.
As for your bad traits, he'd be more than happy to help you manage those. He can be a bit pushy also, but he does work on that. He did learn to manage this part of himself so he can help you with this also. Empathizing with others might be something you need to work on as well. While Diavolo does appreciate solutions to his problems, he will oftentimes need a shoulder to cry on before he can tackle them.
Diavolo has a huge library full of books for you to read, as well as music records, many of which are cursed. But you are smart enough not to just touch these books or records all willy-nilly.
The Demon Lord's Castle has the best places to take walks, so he'd love to take strolls with you (of course, these walks are not limited to the castle), and Barbatos would prepare tea and snacks for you when you just want to relax
Diavolo also takes interest in your creative hobbies as well. If you ever gift him something you drew/wrote, he would be over the moon
Overall a very healthy and wholesome relationship with a lot of potential for emotional stimulation

heyy!!! Im a writer of 7 years, i write on wattpad and my most popular book got around 3.7-4 million reads (haven’t checked in a while). I saw that you were open to tips for writing and such. After reading a couple of your writing pieces, ive concluded that you have a creative mind and good thoughts, as well as great writing, just not executed to your full potential.
First tip i can offer you is to not rush. Your readers and followers aren’t going anywhere, take your time with the writing. And if you ever get bored, tired or get a writers block, what helps me is 1, going on TikTok and watching TikTok’s related to my story, 2, take a break. Taking a break is the best thing ever, wether its a nap, getting something to drink, anything counts as a break. And remember that quality>>quantity. I would rather read 1 lengthy ff that is of amazing quality and made with passion rather than 15 that were made in 15 minutes.
Second tip i could give you is reading. I cannot stress this enough, but read, read, read ! It has many benefits such as exposing you to new genres & ideas, expanding your vocabulary, inspiring you and maybe even change your perspective about certain things. I would recommend reading those of high-quality and maybe more real physical books. And take your time reading the books, don’t rush through descriptive paragraphs or pages with no dialogue.
And last tip for now (lmk if you want more) is to learn from writers. I’ve seen many accounts on tumblr that help A LOT with descriptions, scenery, and sometimes very specific situations. My two favourites are “dumplingsjinson” and “writers-potion”. Learning from other writers teaches you more about the rights and wrongs of writing and overall improves your writing quality.
i hope this finds u well<3
Firstly, thank you for your tips! I have been writing for 5 years myself and I have a few slightly popular pieces of writing as well.
While I do appreciate your tips, these are all things I already do. While my writing may not be "executed to their fullest potential" to you, I'm still just a young person who enjoys writing for fun. Writing helps better my vocabulary and it also helps me to get good grades when writing essays.
While I may not be the best author on the internet or in the ff world, I am happy for the people who enjoy my works and I am proud of myself for how much better I've gotten in the past five years.
I write to satisfy myself, so with everything I've written (one shots and scenarios) I do in fact take my time and I don't rush.
Thank you for your words though! ✿

Tumblr media
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ GETTING TO KNOW YOU
respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag nine others that you would like to get to know a little bit better.
Tumblr media
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ROLEPLAYER NAME :⠀⠀ Callie
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS :⠀⠀ She / They
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ MUSE NAME :⠀⠀ Count Dooku
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PREFERRED COMMUNICATIONS / discord or tumblr messages for out of character chat? :⠀⠀ I'm fine with both Discord and Tumblr Messages, but ultimately, I prefer Discord since there are frequent issues with Tumblr IM's. Tumblr IM's also feel kinda ... formal to me for some reason, while Discord feels more casual??? If y'all want my Discord, feel free to message me and I'll give you my handle.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ EXPERIENCE / how long you’ve roleplayed:⠀⠀ I am pretty sure that I've been roleplaying since 2016, which was my freshman year of high school, but I lowkey forget how I specifically got into roleplay??? All I remember is that since the musical Hamilton was starting to become popular at that time, I was part of the Hamilton Amino and first came across the concept of roleplay there. Since then, l've written on Instagram, Discord, and Twitter. Tumblr is probably my favorite platform for roleplay.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE / fluff, smut, or angst? :⠀⠀ Out of these three, I like writing a perfect blend of them all. However, my favorite type of roleplay is a secret fourth genre — hurt / comfort.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PET PEEVES AND DEALBREAKERS :
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀Roleplayers interacting with my canon muses while ignoring my female original characters. I understand that I am not entitled to interactions, but it makes me feel uneasy — especially since my current original character muse is from the exact same universe and the same time period as my canon characters.
⠀⠀ Interpreting the “no attachments” rule in the Jedi Code to mean “Jedi aren’t allowed to love at all” rather than “Jedi acknowledge that possessive relationships where one cannot let go of another are dangerous and toxic”, and then turning this same misinterpretation as a plot point or headcanon in a roleplay. This has been debunked multiple times by George Lucas.
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ People who conflate the muse with the writer. I run into this problem ALL THE TIME with my historical fiction centric muses, and as I always say in my rules document, if someone can’t separate the writer and the muse, then they are not mature enough to write with me.
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Forgetting that plotting is collaborative, and expecting me to do all the work. If you want to interact with me, make an honest effort to match my energy and my contributions during the plotting process. Suggest ideas and concepts of your own. This post has some great suggestions for improving your experience throughout the roleplay plotting process!
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PLOTS OR MEMES? :⠀⠀ Askbox memes all the way! They are a GREAT way to get interactions going, test the waters of a new dynamic, and start new threads! I also like using them as a springboard for the plotting process. When it comes to “plotting”, I perceive it as an umbrella term that encompasses exchanging headcanons about our muses or discussing character dynamics in detail, so to me it is an ongoing process that begins the moment I reach out to you OOC and continues throughout our roleplays. Plotting only ends when interactions between us end.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES? :⠀⠀ My replies tend to vary in length, and oftentimes these lengths will match your own. It is the substance that matters to me the most — you just have to give me something to work with by having some form of interaction with my character in your response, and I won’t bat an eye about how long it is.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ BEST TIME TO WRITE? :⠀⠀I write at all times of day, but if I had to pick, I’d probably say the evening.
`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE? :⠀⠀Only to a very small extent. I will admit that I, like Dooku, am driven by a desire to change the world for the better and do occasionally find myself being cynical with regards to my country’s politics — but that’s about the greatest extent of any semblance that we may share. Out of all my muses, I probably self-project onto him the least 😭
Tumblr media
TAGGING : ⠀@alootus, @jeditrash, @lostwcrlds, @sorehsu, @jedimessiah, @forcenexus, @vendettavalor, @jaigalorad, @hotchocolatejedi, @malka-lisitsa, AND YOU.

Some streams of Thot about my brain and I'm tired and sad and not depressed but I've been a bit UGH for a few days now and just... Wanna whine
This year im gonna attempt to celebrate my birthday. Nothing big. Just anything at all. The last however many years have been either me hiding it, or like... Yeah.
This year. I have ordered cake from my favourite florist and I've asked my housemate and GF and bestie and besties GF if she wants to come... I'm sure it'll be fine. It has no reason not to be fine.
.
As my mental health has (overall) been improving, I find myself longing to get back some of my favourite things. I miss doing my witchy stuff. I weirdly miss exercising. The thing is. I can't seem to get myself to do the thing. Like, heck, just doing 5 Pushups on the wall. Idk what to do about it. (in b4 suggestions about going with friends, I absolutely cannot and do not work out with friends. My best friend literally lives 800m away, goes to the gym most days, has invited me multiple times. Brain says NO in fiery letters about this and any workouts with friends in general).
I miss doing my tarot shit. I wanna finish my tarot book....
I wanna try writing again but my brain is so tired. I should try to do those Tumblr ficlets.
I'm just very tired. I know I say that a lot. I'm not always tired anymore. It's good.
The therapist asked today when I have down days, do I worry this is the beginning of another spiral? I said I don't. In many ways I don't. But I also do.
I keep remembering like. In the months leading up to hospital, the actual hospital visit. The thing that sorta kept breaking me each time was this horrible feeling saying "I don't think we get to get better this time". But I did.
Hmm. Maybe I should paint that.
Anyway. I'm just weary and anxious about uni and just don't have enough brain function to live the life I want even a third of.
I shoild try to tarot again each morning tho. That was nice.

11/3/2024
MY SCHOOL KEEPS HAVING EVENTS TO GO TO THE AQUARIUM BUT IT’S ALWAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME AT THE EXACT SAME AQUARIUM THAT IS 3 HOURS AWAY, I WANNA GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!1!!1! PICK A DIFFERENT ONE THAT IS CLOSER TO ME FOR ONCE, THERE ARE A DOZEN AQUARIUMS IN OUR STATE. GOSH. I CANNOT DRIVE SIX HOURS FOR A SINGLE DAY ONE EVENT TRIP!!!!!! let me see the FISHIES !!!!!!
but anyway, as a recap:
The friend I said blocked me because I scared him away had actually done so because he got with an abusive girl who forced him to block literally everyone, including MY MOM. MY MOTHER. After he broke up with her he unblocked me and explained the situation and now we’re back to being #besties forever again. I got in a QPR with the friend who’s play I went to and then we “broke up” (I said I wasn’t comfortable with dating anymore and expressed that I didn’t want it to change our relationship, which they said it wouldn’t. Real SHOCKER that didn’t happen. Though I don’t believe they are “in the wrong” for this, they can’t control their feelings.) and now we aren’t talking much anymore. BUT I’ve been texting this SUPER cool person I met a year ago and got to speak to again at their joint birthday party. They’re so awesome and I wanna be bestest friends but it’s difficult cause they live so far awayyyy. ):
And now currently:
I’m tired. I’ve gotten better, I’ve improved in the past few months. I’ve improved significantly even from the days when I was talking about how I’ve gotten so much better. I am constantly consistently improving whether or not I’m able to notice it at the time. I know this logically. But right now I’m in a depression. I had a manic episode a minute ago and now I am quite depressed. My sleep is whack, my eating is just as bad, my hygiene is getting worse. There was a point a little bit ago where I was consistently sleeping well and brushing my teeth daily, which was insane bcus I didn’t even think that was possible. But because I always let my bipolar get the best of me and refuse to medicate I’m back to the habits I’ve always had.
To show how I’ve felt, because I’m too tired to articulate it all over again, here’s a copy-paste of some messages I sent to my best friend on 10/22, 13 days ago:
“this morning mama made me come into her room to work on my schoolwork while i was tired and annoyed, cause i have two late assignments, and it made me wanna get worse to like “punish” her or something. (edgy.) like oh im not doing good enough? im not doing as well as i was earlier in the year? im doing everything wrong and you need to supervise me to make sure im actually working when i want to sleep because im tired and dont want to be alive? well what if i starved and starting hurting myself again fucking god just let me sleep i dont want to exist but i have to get up and get on my stupid eye bleeding computer because mama isnt “doing this with me anymore” and says i cant sleep all day and stay up all night and i need to get all of my schoolwork done every day. which i logically understand is because she cares about me and wants me to listen to her and doesnt want me to spiral and get in a terrible place but i feel like what is even the point.”
“why do i do anything whats the point of being alive i hate doing anything and everything except being with my friends and thats barely something i get to do. i just want to sleep forever nothing makes me really actually happy or content anymore. why am i even alive. im really depressed right now if you csnt tell i think im habing an episode”
“manic goes straight to depression sigh”
“i hate being bipolar im gonna fucking kill myself” (/nsrs)
I was improving about this mentally, feeling better again. But me and my mom had another chat about my parents possibly getting divorced, which is something we’ve had discussions about for a while. Just me and her. And I have known in my heart, that despite what she says; My father will most likely not get better or improve and she will divorce him one day, I just don’t know when that day is. And I’ve been content with that because I know if it did happen a lot would change but it would be for the best, and all I want is for my parents to be the happiest they can be, living the best lives they can. If my mother were to make that decision it’d be because it was the only choice to protect her safety health and wellbeing, she would never do something like that lightly. But when we were talking she said if they got divorced they’d have to sell the house and we’d most likely move into an apartment, which made me start crying because I wasn’t aware of that. I’d never thought of that. That they wouldn’t be able to afford it anymore.
And now because of that, I’m currently feeling like. What’s the point of anything. Why do I even exist. Why do I do the things that make me happy if I’m just going to lose it all tomorrow. What will I even have by then. I’m going to lose everything, I’m going to lose my parents marriage and my house and my entire livelihood. There’ll be no chance for me at that point, the only reason I’ve been improving is because I’ve been here in a safe comfortable place. The whole ordeal is going to ruin me. And it’s going to be all my fault because everything is always my fault.
I’m so tired. I just want. To sleep. It’s 1:03 AM. So I will.

FHE JUSTIN BIEBER GIF CRYINNGGGGGG LAMAOAOAOAOAO im assuming its the sae oaeu cooking rn
LMAOSOA YOUR POST trust I take all of your ramblings as rewards your brain is fr so big all of these fire ideas >>>>> ok but the pokemon au is so good…extraordinary….exquisite….remarkable (if you’ve watched as much pokemon as i have you’ll probably get this but if not just take it at face value) the Barou sibling angst is actually my fav
LMAOO YOUR MOM AND HER BROTHER THATS SO ACCURATE
ISAGIS HAIR I feel bad for his hair and his hair alone they always weirdly slick it back or comb it up and he looks like a middle aged man
IM CRYING “I cry but because I have to deal with his shit” LMFAOOO yuki fr tweaking atp or repeatedly saying his mantra in his head trying to keep his sanity like “god never gives us more than we can handle god never gives up more than we can handle god never-“
LMAAOA NO IT MAKES SENSE my brain just grouped up the letters that way that I had to double take ok so we’ve had kaneshiro possesses Mira moment and we get canon characterization of kiyora it’s time to freaky Friday reverse you should take over kaneshiro and write bllk i fr wish Karasu actually scored more literally my exact thoughts like “ARE YOU A STRIKER???” Channeling my inner ego…..but agreed glad he still at least has SOME presence and is consistently shown active in game
Bro kurona was so random…like with epinagi and s2 you can see them sneakily trying to add him in the bg cameoing to make him feel relevant but he fr was dropped out of nowhere like wdym the one who ranked fourth in second selection who we’ve never even seen a glimpse of and didn’t do anything in u20 is suddenly good friends with Isagi and others and gets field time HUH his first appearance is quite literally in BM when he’s holding the iPad showing Isagi Kunigami new stats (yk it’s bad when I rmr this info off the top of my head) something about the wording “using religion and blindness” has me laughing so hard LMAOOOO it’s giving that one meme “I’ve got the power of god and anime on my side” except it’s god and optic neuropathy UAHSHSHA ok but on a serious note that fr would go so hard like let’s expand on his character please….id honestly love to see more of him as he was shown in the LN because nel yuki is SO diff than what he actually seems to be based off the LN but anyways…
Kunigami being the main rival makes sm sense tbh when I first read I thought he WAS going to be the main rival but no it’s Kaiser ig….wait the morally greyness of wildcard being discussed would fr be so interesting…..guys….also ness is one of my least fav characters tbh so slander him all you want LMAOO gotta agree w some dudebros he’s fr a Kaiser glazer you’re fr cooking though….we gotta get you in touch with kaneshiro asap
LMAO REAL I also (clearly) enjoy bllk quite a bit but yes many things to be improved…sometimes I think to myself if only I was an Isagi Rin or Kaiser stan I’d be having the time of my life but alas we cannot be MEDIOCRE
Wait the terminally ill route fits his character fr….where he’d be unwilling to tell his family about it because he wants to strive to be the best despite it and won’t settle for a comfy life…I can also see him getting murdered though LOL either way I’m sure it’ll be good (even though he’s dying oops)
Yeah I lowk forgot people who have such audacity exist the Tullia hate kinda insane and just generally when people comment “he’s mine [chafacter] better get away from my man” ICK imagine in the tags you just put every reader pairing possible as a jic disclaimer like “reader and Tullia talk to men so beware!”
I always found the rival characters so funny like why are you jumping me when I’m trying to get to the next city no I don’t wanna battle you rn LMAOO it’s funny in how like every version you end up teaming up and double battling the villain team somehow but the way they come and go was always so funny to me
When you first said may I thought you meant May from pokemon but now I realize…anyways love Tullia sooo glad to have her alive!!
LMAOOOO Lowk I had a subconscious thought like galvanthla interesting choice (i personally collected joltiks bc they looked cute LMFAO) Isagi the most basic of basics so an all basic team is perfect for him LOL I mean hey you gotta have an op basic pokemon somewhere right I already consider infernape relatively more niche amongst most popular pokemon too LOL
Otoya using his pokemon as chick magnets is so real LMAOO I wanna analyze the breloom yuki vibe like why does it work so well
Nagi fr got the short end of the stick omg LMAOO ofc it had to be a fire type too for once thank you reo for spoiling him HSHSH
SHSHSBD THATS TOO CUTE I bet chigiri would take sm time grooming and caring for his rapidash too (in line with what we talked about for his hair and skin LOL) sometimes I forget you make money from battling LMAOOO like yeah I just beat your pokemon up now hand me my check
REAL BUT LMAOOO the light blue team never fails for him honestly when in doubt just match the hair color I can definitely see him genuinely having an aurorus and ice types though maybe he’s like (I like them calm and cold unlike my parents) hiori running a fossil pokemon conservation wait id never thought of that that’s also so real….atp this should just be an expanded universe that exists time to world build (on that note imagine Aryu grooms and styles pokemon for coordinators and especially furfrou, I forgot exact which gen you were into pkmn until oops I’ll elaborate if you didn’t get to kalos/xyz)
LMAOOOOO i was already linking up aiku and Brock the moment you brought him in lowk that interaction set up you have is so pkmn verse coded its great
I SECOND THAT if no other inspo comes out lowk pokemon au….guys…..also Noel noa being the actual champion while reos dad just holds the title is actually such an interesting dynamic and would work so well
SHSHS sounds like you’ve got it all down still praying for your safety though all those experiences in one lifetime is crazy
HAHAHA I LOVE THE CHATTER reading the convo responses brings me just as much joy as reading ur actual fics im always down for yap sessions
- Karasu anon
LMAOOO that’s just me irl tbh like i hope that’s what you picture when you think of me 🤩 surprisingly it wasn’t in reference to the oaeu!! someone had just posted that they wished there were more otoya fics because they’ve read all of them already and i was like “just working…working hard to please you” because i am an occasional otoya writer for sure
OMG MR REMARKABLE (i forget if he had an actual name KFNSJSN my brother and i always just called him mr remarkable he’s like that elderly man who has a tv show or smth right??) and HAHA tyyyy 🥹
maybe they do it like that to distinguish him from rin or smth?? idk but it’s specifically only isagi who gets the horrendous hairdos they don’t give ANYONE else that treatment 😭 i fr feel bad for the guy even though idgaf abt him…
bllk karasu’s like “can we switch places” because a universe where otoya’s not as much of a dumbass AND he has the chance to rizz up reader is the universe for him (he def is so pressed that hollyhock karasu never made any moves LMAOOO “wdym you lost her to OTOYA” and hollyhock karasu is like “i never wanted her in the first place 🤔” so bllk karasu is like “WHAT”)
HAHAHA possessed by kaneshiro fr i felt his energy flowing through me in that moment 😭 someone needs to get me on the phone with him like idk much about soccer BUT i can definitely cook in terms of characters and plot!!
I REMEMBER WHEN KURONA FIRST SHOWED UP I HAD TO REREAD THE CHAPTER BECAUSE I THOUGHT I JUST MISSED HIS INTRODUCTION 😭 agreed there’s such a discrepancy between ln/third selection/u20 yukimiya and nel yukimiya!! especially with that rlly cool panel of him in the u20 game where they’re like “his style of soccer is street soccer 😰⁉️” and he looks gorgeous af i was looking forward to more elaboration on that!! like really showing how he plays differently compared to the other players (maybe giving him some special weapon because of that kinda like metavision) it also could’ve been a really cool point of connection between him and kaiser given that both of them kind of learned how to play soccer in unconventional ways…but alas…here we are
NO BECAUSE KUNIGAMI VS ISAGI RIVALRY COULD’VE BEEN SO GOOD it would’ve built up the hype for kuni sm more and him feel much more relevant imo!! honestly along with wanting to know what wc is all about i’ve always wanted to know noel noa’s reaction to it…like his biggest rival from the past has destroyed this child’s body and life and future in order to make a copy of him THAT’S LEGIT INSANE??? kaneshiro could’ve given us such a scrumptious kuni and noa dynamic and then he just didn’t 😭
honestly i think one of the main problems w bllk is that kaneshiro is spreading the cast too thin and making people care about too many characters but it’s impossible to effectively manage such a huge cast given the premise of the story and still have emotional impact when stuff happens to them and that also means that characters aside from the protagonist aren’t given a ton of fleshing out (this is relatively common in shounen sadly…jjk had a similar issue but almost to the next level) where by focusing on lesser characters and just giving them insane depth the story would’ve felt much stronger ☝🏻 like realistically there’s 0 reason for kurona to exist in nel when reo (as per our earlier convos) or yukimiya could’ve easily taken that role and had their characters developed much more!! kiyora could also have been replaced with yukimiya (as much as i love him) and tbh?? get sendou out of ubers and focus more on aryu (how’d he go from number 2 in scoring goals to a defensive player?? flesh him out more instead of sendou literally nobody cares abt him…hot take but only memorable u20 players were aiku sae and shidou the rest did not need to be there), get rid of tokimitsu entirely (show how his nervous personality doesn’t jive with egoism) and give zantetsu + karasu more opportunities to shine in pxg (honestly if they wanted to keep the cutthroat feel of second selection then get rid of nanase too and show how kindness doesn’t cut it in bllk where you need to be insane; that way the cast is still large but these characters aren’t fighting for a main spot they’re more naruhaya-esque) 😰 and another hot take but they should’ve saved all of the other ng11s besides sae until the world cup arc (so no kaiser and lorenzo in nel) to really build the hype and stakes of the wc because rn it’s like…ok the bllkers have already managed to beat lorenzo and the whole kaisagi rivalry is going on so the ng11s don’t feel as threatening?? whereas they could’ve been a really cool obstacle in the wc and would’ve provided a baddie of the week feel and higher stakes without it being boring or random since they’ve been so foreshadowed already with sae
i agree i rlly like the terminally ill aspect it also explains why his pokémon are willing to go along with his possessed body (they’re not able to accept that he’s gone) as well as why isagi knows so much without him being a villain…it’s also just sad to think about like he didn’t want his family to worry about him but he wanted to accomplish his goals so he just pushed forward until he literally couldn’t anymore 😭 also now i’m realizing lowkey kunigami would fit better in barou’s role (given the whole canonical wildcard thing being similar to the possession) however idc because i like barou more
yeahhh unfortunately fandom people can be a little weird to say the least and especially now that i have a decent amt of followers i know there are going to be interesting individuals in my comments so it’s not even worth it to not tag…okay but hear me out i wasn’t even thinking about this when i assigned teams (nagi got his team based on cuddly fluffy vibes and barou got his team as all dark types because of his “villain king” thing and reader was forced to have one of the same pokémon as him for the sibling theme…of barou’s team i liked houndoom the most so that’s what reader got) BUT the parallels between nagi’s starter being arcanine and reader’s being houndoom kinda go crazy?? like they both have huge fiery dogs but as per the pokédex arcanine symbolizes loyalty justice protection etc and houndoom is like death hell horror and whatnot 😭 however as we know nagi’s aura is death and reader’s character’s main theme is love (for barou, for her pokémon, etc) so narratively nagi x reader would be so good…especially if they’re each other’s “rivals” but they’re not really rivals and half of the time are helping each other out…there’s a vision here and it’s cooking imo 🤩 ALSO i’m thinking…hear me out…karasu reminds reader of barou so he becomes like her surrogate older brother while they’re searching for barou and reader is the annoying little sibling karasu never had which makes him respect yayoi more and teaches him responsibility and maturity which in turn makes yayoi finally respect him too 🤔
honestly galvantula is such a random pokémon but realistically in terms of type matchups it’s absolutely CARRYING reader against barou’s team considering dark is weak to bug 😭 honestly it’s such a cool little pokémon i think it’s so fun for her to have it on her team!! and the gyarados plot line is going to be so entertaining (basically she gets scammed into trading a freshly caught pokémon for a magikarp and shenanigans ensue) that i think the basicness is excusable
otoya constantly getting girls via his fairy type pokémon vs reader and tullia being like “ladies STAY AWAY” who wins 😭⁉️ and agreed breloom + yuki goes so hard…tbh i rlly like steelix and yuki too it works surprisingly well
no literally justice for nagi 😭 the way the government did NOT gaf abt him is crazy like they could’ve at least given him a water type (although tbf he’s meant to show how the pokémon training system takes advantage of people so it makes sense) honestly though i love his character in this au he goes through sm development and his slowburn w the reader will be legendary fr
YOU KNOWWWW chigiri’s rapidash is SPARKLING he def takes such meticulous care of all of his pokémon (same w reo) whereas nagi’s just like eh as long as they’re healthy 😄 KFNJSSB so like manshine trio will be chilling and in their downtime reo will be brushing his cinccino and chigiri will be polishing his rapidash’s hooves meanwhile nagi’s arcanine is rolling in a pile of mud somewhere having the time of its life
hiori and ice types just go so well together (even though he only has one on his team I think 😭) and agreed i can see him retiring from battling after his arc w reader and co and following his actual passion of helping endangered pokémon instead of listening to his parents (maybe karasu inspires him because he also stood up to his family [yayoi] and that gives hiori the courage to do the same)
gen six is where i left off!! i played gen seven (namely moon and a bit of ultra moon) but i didn’t like them that much so as far as i and this au are concerned the pokémon verse ended with xy/oras 🤩 omg wait aryu as a pokémon groomer slays…maybe he’s the one yuki takes his pokémon to before contests?? and perhaps the itoshi bros are mentioned in passing as gym leaders in another region…kaiser as noel noa’s apprentice who’s going to be a new e4 member like isagi (but a bitchier one who never knew barou and never directly interacts with reader) and same with bachira + kunigami (kaiser to replace noel noa, bachira to replace lavinho, kunigami to replace chris prince, and isagi to replace snuffy) there’s just so many different roles that characters can play!! the world building would be so fun
LMAOO honestly aiku trying to be the rizzler but getting cock blocked by big bros otoya and karasu is so funny to me 😭 also speaking of brock link ups since we know karasu and reader are like a sibling duo i’m imagining otoya and tullia to have that brock and croagunk dynamic where she just punches him whenever he flirts with girls because he’s so cringe it’s embarrassing 😰 speaking of tullia atm i’m think she’ll likely end up with either chigiri (since he’ll probably pull up quite frequently as a nagi companion so there’s ample time for development), isagi (since he’s a classic tullia pairing and all), or maybe even hiori?? like her and hiori really hit it off and after the main story is over instead of becoming a show/competition breeder like she planned she decides to go back to his nature preserve and help in breeding for species conservation or something 🤔 many many options fr
NO BECAUSE LISTEN THE TIK TOK AUDIOS ARE BURSTING WITH POTENTIAL FOR THE POKÉMON AU i’m getting soooo many ideas for the story now!! like the entire gyarados arc, the aegislash arc (this one goes crazy because it’s basically “reader and nagi somehow end up in a period drama for an entire arc” yet it makes perfect sense given the pokémon verse and the backstory), EVERYTHING with barou especially the final fight between the cousins (i’ve decided they’ll be cousins but as close as siblings!! so y/n’s mother is barou’s father’s sister and her houndoom is barou’s houndoom’s sister so it’s like three generations of brother/sister-esque bonds making up the story), the random evil team encounters…i’m sure you saw but i put requests on hold for a few reasons: so i can finish the ones i have, work on the oaeu, AND also start this story hopefully!! also i want to deny people from requesting for a bit so the hype is built for my 1k event whenever we reach that milestone FJDJSJSJ
LMAOOO the craziest thing is that’s not even scratching the surface unfortunately i have had many insane experiences with men i’m sure you’ll hear about more whenever they’re relevant to the convo 😭 and YESSS i love chatting w you hehe always a little rush of dopamine when i see the little “anonymous asked you a question” notification on my phone (when tumblr isn’t an OPP and actually gives the me the notifs) 🥹

idk what to do anymore
i want to leave and never see you again because of how you treat me, but in reality would i be better off leaving or staying and letting all the negative shit soak into me?
i dont know why it has to be this way, i dont know why i cannot just be happy with the bit of love you give me. why did you care so much more in the beginning? why cant you still have that same love for me? i try so hard to look past when you get upset at me and treat me like im stupid but its getting so hard to do so.
i want to leave so badly to see if it would help my mental health but i am scared to death it wont, then i wont have you at all and ill be lost. but god im so tired of repeating myself
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
“i want comfort not logic”
but you still hardly try, you still try to give me solutions i dont want.
ik the shit weve done to eachother is so bad but please can we start over because when i tell you ive never regretted anything more, i havent. i am so fucking sorry for treating you like shit all of these years, i am genuinely trying to do better and i think i am doing a bit better, i am genuinely so sorry hun, you deserve so much love and care and i can be that for you if you give me the chance one last time.
sam let me love you one last time, because all the proof is there,
im getting better
I
AM
GETTING
BETTER
and yet you seem unimpressed
i want another chance with you, listen i know you do not trust me, i wouldnt trust me either, but if you do eventually decide to get back together with me it WILL be different and i can promise that, because you have to admit i am doing better.
ive been a lot more calm about a lot more situations, even if i am so fucking anxious to the point of sobbing, but i still try to be calm because i know that is whats best.
ive been better about a lot of things, please see that.
please know that im getting better and that i deserve another chance now that ive improved.
i love you hun and ik things will be better this time, trust me or dont but it will work this time my love, i love you too much to let go. you are a once in a lifetime kind of person and i will stay with you forever even if youll never date me again.
<3
