me: is sick.
also me from 7 to 8 pm: time to move the couch to another room.
another of my toxic treats is that if I need something, I need it IMMEDIATELY. being neurodivergent is weird. my brain is weird.
and of course I couldn't move the couch before destroying drywall. I had to make the couch dusty af before moving it. 🙄
#personal#Hopefully this won't bite me back tomorrow#I am drenched in sweat#it's that my renovation halted#so I feel horrible about it#so at least I did *something*#now I have a couch in my kitchen 🙄#my living room is freaking empty#if we're not counting a side piece#I gotta!! renovate!!#I want my living room back#at the same time I don't have much money to do stuff rn#ughhh#money I need moneyyyy#my troat hurts :(

i will never not find it hilarious that they completely forgot to animate patty at the very end of the final cutscene in the last three frames of the whole group
and the dub didn't even give her voiced lines when everyone was shouting they so the localization forgot about her too
#GTF Vesperia Things#the loc also changed her line from “it stopped?” to “it's over?” which is awkward#bc i'm pretty sure she was referring to the blastia+spirit's power not working as they intended#i know the DE loc was really wonky and they rly just went what's a consistency tho#but it's actually very jarring for me to play the DE version bc the loc was actually relatively on point originally#and then all the additions and changes are super awkward in the loc#like flynn saying good luck out there to yuri if you sleep at the inn at aurnion... even tho he's literally in the party#you can tell they didn't actually check the original script for accuracy/consistency AT ALL#just really feels like they didn't care much about it ultimately and just shoved it out#the remake is what i have access to rn but like... the original was def better and like#as someone who did play the original numerous times it's so blatantly obvious where they changed/added stuff#esp since patty's lines outside of anything immediately directed at her own story#were almost entirely throwaway lines they stuck in there just to give her lines to make her more present#i'd say about half of flynn's added lines if not more for anything he wasn't originally part of were similar#like anything that was exactly the same except they stuck in a few extra lines for those two#and like... i love flynn but imo the DE version really didn't do him that much more justice (n-no pun intended)#and like it doesn't matter that they did plan patty originally bc ultimately she got cut#which meant making the entire story/plot without her; so adding her back in LATER is like... why did you fucking bother removing her then#they ended up having to forcefully stick her back in anyway and whatever she would've had in the first place#prob would've been better/integrated better into the story than trying to squeeze in lines wherever possible#and I say that bc her lines (and a chunk of flynn's) don't actually change anything. chars will respond the same with or without their line#like... hearts r did really great in integrating a new char into the main party#even if i usually do NOT like additions to the main cast in remakes and is usually why i don't want remakes in the first place for tales#and then you've got innocence r which just butchered everything with its additions#and vespy is right in the middle as like... why bother (for money i know but still)#also tho honestly with how little flynn is even actually playable it's still a big why bother for me#bc yeah i do love having him there and i do love the sidequest stuff with him#but the biggest difference between hearts r and the vespy remake is that they didn't really... remake it#they just stuck new things into existing unchanged content and added a little bit more and reused the base game#if the tag count is still thirty im out of tags lol i just have a lot of Feelings abt this remake

𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟑𝐃 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐀 𝐏𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋!! + 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐃 🧁
i don't want to give out too much info, but i have a friend who doesn't come to school very often. she's absent for majority of the week or comes late so i barely get to see her. today, she didn't come and she hadn't come the day before. most of the time, i try to text her to see if she'll respond, but today i thought to myself "why am i upset she isn't at school? besides it doesn't matter to me. I would like for her to be here but it's not a big deal if she isn't." so after 2nd period, we meet up at the stairs so we can walk to class. when she's not here, i wait for her just in case she came late or smth. this time, i simply walked upstairs. smth was telling me that my friend would be here somehow, but i ignored it.
imagine my surprise when i sat down, looked to my right, and saw her sitting down in the flesh. just there. i was shocked.
now, ik this might not seem like a manifestation (spoiler alert: I count it as one) unless u knew how i would affirm for her to come to school only to not get results. i consider her one of my best friends and school isn't the same without her. it was frustrating that the results would only come days later, yet the moment i said i didn't care, it came to me. why?
imo, the key was that I didn't put it on a pedestal. I told myself "I would LIKE for her to come, but it's not a BIG DEAL if she doesn't." i used this not only bcuz it happened at the time im writing this, but bcuz it's a perfect example of how taking ur manifestations off a pedestal helps.
imagine being a king/queen. u have literally everything u desire with the snap of ur fingers. u control everyone and everything around u. but then, u want something that u don't have in the 3d. u have it the 4d, but YOU don't see it bcuz ur eyes are only honed in on the physical world. all of a sudden, u put this object of desire,that u ALREADY have, ABOVE u. it's what u need or else u'll practically fall and break into thousands of pieces. doesn't make any sense, right? well that's literally how it is when u put ur manifestation on such a high pedestal.
YOU are the prize. YOU should be the one placed on the pedestal and stay on it. ik it's hard, especially when there's no evidence of the 3d showing u that -- but it's true. that's why when u care so much abt a manifestation, u are quite literally taking urself off and putting something way less important on there. it's hard to accept that, bcuz society has literally told us that some people are better than others. those who feed into money, fame, "above average" beauty, concepts that only exist in the 3d. but the truth is being tied down to thoughts like that will only make things harder for u.
I'm not saying u shouldn't try to manifest concepts that we know from the 3d -- almost everyone is. I would be a hypocrite to say that when im literally trying to manifest clothes rn lol. im saying that u should stop thinking of those concepts as "impossible" or "out of ur league", bcuz unless u say so, YOU are the standard. stuff like that will only drag u down into the illusion of the 3d.
to sum it up, stop putting the 3d on a pedestal and put urself on there!! when ur able to detach and no longer depend on ur manifestation coming through, it helps it pass through ur 4d level of consciousness and materialize into the 3d. someone with everything doesn't cry abt something they ASSUME they don't have. now, u might be asking: "what do i do if i can't get my mind off it?" i know all too well that this task is easier said than done, so i wanted to help!! :3 these r just some general hobbies u can do instead of obsessing over manifestations!!
🎀 drawing or some form of art
🎀 self care day
🎀 baking
🎀 studying
🎀clean ur room
🎀 text/face time ur friends
🎀 window shopping (my fav lol)
🎀 read a book
🎀 indulge in one of ur own personal hobbies
these r just some of the things that i do when i find myself stressed with a manifestation!! as always, this is all imo, and im just trying my best to help!! happy manifesting ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡

Ayyy, there seems to be a lot of older people among the regular commenters of this blog so I'm gonna shoot my shot and ask for advice.
Idk if it's just the clinical depression but I can't help but feel like I'm never gonna find love as a straight girl. I don't hate men at all -- I've been very lucky to be surrounded by decent dudes growing up but shit. Lookin at the state of the world rn... Gen Z dudes chugging misogynist bullshit at alarming rates, women like Gisele Pelicot going through unspeakable shit from their own husbands... it's hard not to feel cynical. On top of that the decent dudes I know irl are all taken, I don't wanna go on dating apps, and as much as I wanna fuck an older man no decent one is gonna settle for a depressed young woman who's a 4 at best...
It's not that i don't have fulfilling friendships or that I don't value them, I just want to love and care for (and get dicked down by) a decent guy who feels the same way. I've always wanted that and I don't think it's changing anytime soon. Feels impossible though. I'm not sure if I'm the problem (I'm plain faced at best, no fashion sense or charm to speak of, though I do my best to be polite and kind) or there's just shit going on I've no control over.
--
People will give you a lot of placating nonsense, but the reality is that the supply of reasonably okay straight women is much higher than the supply of reasonably okay straight men. Finding a fulfilling long-term relationship is always hard anyway, but man... straight guys really need to step it up.
That said, a lot of people in general and straight guys in particular learn a lot from the breakdown of their first marriage/long-term relationship. Just because a guy is listening to godawful manosphere podcasts today doesn't mean he's never going to be dateable later.
Research on dating apps suggests that your average guy responds to pics where women have a lot of makeup on by looking for a hookup, passes by the ones with no makeup, and finds the ones with a little lipstick or something but not heavy makeup the most dateable.
While it would be nice if appearance didn't matter, if you're really worried about this, there are some basic things you can do where you'll get a lot of bang for your buck: Find one lipstick you can stand and learn to apply it. I like Bésame Cosmetics because I am a nerd and they sponsored a local film noir festival. Peggy Carter's lipstick was from them. They have the advantage of being intensely pigmented, so a quick swipe gives full coverage. I hate having shit on my face in general, so that's helpful. If eye stuff is less bleurgghhhh than lip stuff, learn to apply eyeliner instead. There are some liquid ones I really like even if it takes some practice to get decent at painting them on. You don't need a full face of makeup or really much of anything to read as Hot Girl™ to people who don't know anything about makeup and aren't paying much attention. Yes, even if you're a 4 and it's not just the depression talking.
Charm is hard. Some things can be taught, but a lot of that's innate. Fashion, however, is not. You don't need to be a fashionista to look better than a lot of the people around you. Save your money for fewer, better outfits. Buy things that fit well and get things tailored. Don't settle for ill-fitting clothes that don't make you feel good. Look for natural fibers and clothing that will last a long time. (And if you think you have sensitive skin that cannot handle natural fibers, you need to go up several price points on your cotton. Just saying.)
You can also increase your chances by doing activities where you meet more people who might be a good match. This means finding hobbies that actually have straight guys in them and going to in-person things where you meet new people. (This sounds obvious and pedantic, but I cannot tell you how many women I know who want a boyfriend but only do social things that are 95% women and 5% gay men.)
But the biggest thing you can do to stand out is... well... work on that depression. Self confidence and obviously being in a good place in your life are very attractive. Also, the good catches who haven't been snapped up tend to be the quiet, shy people. If you have your own shit together enough to detect and pursue them, you have a better chance of finding someone great.
I get that ~fix your depression~ is not helpful advice, but working on yourself in both important and relatively superficial ways is something you can control. Meeting the right person is not.
It might help to look at this as a 5-10-year goal and/or a lifetime goal, not a "Oh my god, my life sucks this year" problem. Yes, there's shit going on that you have no control over, but if that's your career and mental health and so on, you can work on that and be in a different place in a few years.
Frankly, I think a certain amount of cynicism is warranted, but that doesn't mean there are no decent guys or that you'll never find one.

hi, im on partially diy hrt for nearly a year. i do not leave in the usa btw.
i buy the drugs from just some guy who deals it, i learned about him from one of my trans male friends, if you want to start diy hrt really consider asking if someone in your community does it also. i live in a country where lgbt+ and transitioning is practically outlawed, but there is still community out there, especially in big cities (over 1m people).
but if he dissapears i turn to resources for cis bodybuilders. idk it's pretty googleable, ive checked. again, always ask people in your country.
check your local laws, where i live buying t illegally isnt punished if the drug is bought from your country (its not contraband) and you do not plan to sell it. in this case if someone IS going to be punished, its your dealer.
for safety: check the ingredients of what's your buying, in the best case you should buy a drug that is the exact same as in drug stores, also ask what other people in your shoes are usually buying.
also if you can - buy in bulk. rn me and my partner have 9 months worth of t on our hands. this way you have more time to find other dealer if yours dissapears, and also it's much cheaper often.
also gel is generally WAY EASIER to buy without a prescription (even though you need it on paper)! many drug stores don't ask for a prescription to buy it, and you can go to multiple of them. also if you preorder it online and only go to the drug store to pick it up they are less likely to ask for the prescription. it's all still not 100%, but at least you don't have to look for a dealer or a bodybuilder website
needles are usually pretty cheap and do not require a prescription in a drug store. if you NEED to make something up why you need them - some of the common pain killers come in the form of injections
so, about the blood tests and stuff like that!
personally, i consult with an endocrinologist approximately onse a year, but i don't have any complications. you can make a visit online with a t friendly endocrinologist from another country - this won't show on any of your medical records and doesn't bare any legal weight. this way they can't write you a prescription, but thos us about diy hrt anyway.
ask about what tests you need to have done beforehand!
you can do all the tests in a private clinic and not tell them anything about your trans status. mostly they don't care. it costs money, but its more safe
but also you can tell some bullshit in the government clinic so they prescribe you some of the tests, at least the most general stuff. if they prescribe you to return with the results or go to an endocrinologist - you can just ignore that and JUST NOT GO. they are most probably very busy and understaffed, they dont care.
you should find a general guide to what levels of what you generally should have. id link what i use, but its all in a language other then english.
generally all of the things should be in the norm, except for testosterone and estradiol. prolactin should be in the norm.
of course it varies a lot and might be different for you if you have other health stuff going on, that's the reason you should consult with a doctor if you can. but it is possible on your own.
i really think people are way too scared of diy t many times. this therapy is often very straightforward, and there ARE ways to do it, you can even consult with a doctor while transitioning illegally. where i live transitioning, whether legal or medical is outlawed, but plenty people do it anyway. be careful and midfull, but go for it
sorry if my english isnt very good, i don't use it irl and its my second language
thank you so much for your help and don't worry, your english is plenty good for this kind of thing! thank you for all the help, if you think of any more information you wish to share feel free to ask!

will they be good parents and will they even be parents hcs :D twst cast this is all a future thing not during their school years also no ortho :3
Heartslabyul
Riddle Rosehearts
I feel like he'd be a good dad
maybe he kiiind of takes after his mother but not to the extreme like she was
something more of a super responsible parent, making sure his child studies well, doesn't eat unhealthy too much
but the difference between him and his mom is that he's giving his kids freedom.
they wanna go out and play with their friends? sure but make sure they study for their next test.
they wanna eat this cake? sure but make sure you don't eat too much.
I also think he'd want to spend time with his future kids, helping them study, maybe play a game with them
Riddle seems like a parent who'd have two children, maaaybe three. I feel like he always wanted siblings so therefore he'd have more then one child. but not too many- he won't keep track on them :(
Trey Clover
defiantly a good dad. 100%
he literally has siblings that he takes care of, so it seems right that he'd want at least one child
I don't think he'd like more then one kid but maaaybe he'd be fine with a few more.
he teaches them how to bake :)
like by the time they are four years old they already know a few good recipes, not that they can do that themselves- baby steps
those kids are gonna have the whitest teeth ever with a dad like Trey- he will not leave them alone without a proper mouth care.
I think Trey's like the average, normal, everyday dad.
Cater Diamond
mmm..I don't think he'd be that much into kids
or at least for a veeery long time until it hits him like "O.M.G kids are just soooooo cute~! we gotta have one babe!"
and poof you have a child-
now he's more of a fun yet not too responsible typa parent.
why do I think that? well he just seems more chill so it'll be hard for him to say no to his kid.
he seems like he'd be a great dad to talk to if you're his kid, he'll know how to calm his child when he/she is upset and stuff
will kinda spoil his children like they saw something and asked for it? bought. there's a new dish served in a certain restaurant down the street? they go there and eat.
that specifically happens when something looks like he can get more likes on magigram.
I also believe that his kids will also take a bunch of pictures and post them online, they'll actually take a lot after Cater
Ace Trappola
nope. sorry but this guy doesn't look like the type who'd have kids.
I also believe he'd be an irresponsible parent..
not to the point of child neglect- but more in the sense that he'd be kind of selfish with a bunch of things, like money and all.
and I know I know you probably think that I think that cuz of how acts rn which is the everyday typical teenager boy, but not really. like sure the way he acts does affect my way of thinking but I also know that teens grow out of it at a certain age.
so this has nothing to do with him being a teen.
Deuce Spade
now this guy will want kids
not soon, not at all- but he will want kids.
I think that even know if you were to ask Deuce if he'll ever want kids he'll say yes but not too soon.
he'll be a great dad, I think he'll want to hang out a lot with his kids cuz he has an absent father.
I don't think he'll have too much time though- he does say he wants to become an officer or something to do with the police(?) and that takes away a lot of time from people :( but Deuce will buy his kids a ton of stuff if they ever need something!
he really hopes they won't have the same phase he had many years ago so he'll try his best to educate them.
Savanaclaw
Leona Kingscholar
sorry guys but he canonically dislikes children :(
and he'll probably be a bad dad-
like he won't even try to hide the fact that he won't like his children
he will literally act as if they don't exist.
and probably in where he lives the men are the ones who stay at home and are practically malewives and all so I believe he won't have any more energy for ANOTHER thing in the house.
but if you reaaaaaaaaaaally want a kid maybe he will oblige. BUT ONLY ONE. and he will not take too much care of it.
Ruggie Bucchi
kids!? in THIS ECONAMY!?
are you nuts!?
he seems like he woukd want kids but will probs not bring any until he's as rich as the richest person in twisted wonderland
he won't want his kids to suffer like he did in his youth :(
will raise them for pure success. he'll make sure they will be super rich and won't have any money problems EVER.
genuinely a good father
he'll either grow up to not have a ton of money so he'll be working all day, or he'll grow up to somehow be rich-
so he either never gets to hang out with his future children, or he will spend a lot of time with them.
Jack howl
good dad. great dad even! probs one of the best dads!!!!
this guy will want kids and he'll do a great job at taking care of them!
will probably want a few kids, it's a wolf thing
hanging out with his kids will be his first priority, well that and hanging out with his lover.
he hasn't hang out enough hours with them? welp he can't make it to work today, he has kids to hang out with :)
will defiantly teach them how to be healthy
eat right, work out well, good sleep schedule, stuff like that
Octavinelle
Azul Ashengrotto
he doesn't strike me as a guy who'd have kids-
but he does sound like he'd be a good uncle.(am i the only one who thinks he looks like a gay uncle in that once card-)
there is a chance that he'd have a kid at some point in his life, but I feel like he puts priority on work
but if he did have a kid he'd spoil them. but in the same time he'd be an absent dad- like he won't really hang out with them, put a ton of expectations on the kid/s yada yada yada...
not like he hates the kid- he just wants them to live with good money.
if Azul's s/o can't take care of the kid for a few good hours he'd send them to his mom
she'd be sooo sweet to the kid! I bet the kid would love her!!
he will not tolerate his kid being bullied. those bullies will be slapped into their next life(there are may ways of doing that, Azul can use all of them)
Jade Leech
he'd love to have kids :)
he'd share so much of his hobbies with them!
he'd take them on hikes even when they are little babies <3
and he'd probably start with them a terrarium :3
but he'll also teach them some.....interesting things...crime
but I also think that he doesn't have a lot of time, so guess what he does
he will take his kids with him whenever he needs to work and you can't stay to take of them, or when he hasn't hang out with them in a while.
another way of teaching them how to do illegal things....
it doesn't matter if Jade's s/o is the greatest cook out there, the kids will love their dad's cooking a lot more.
and he does teach them some interesting cooking recipes.....
I feel like his kids will either love mushrooms just cuz they grew up on it, or they will be sick of them just cuz they grew up on them.
Floyd Leech
not the best of fathers...
I also dunno if he'd want a kid or not- cuz if I'm correct in cannon he finds kids weird???? and idk if it's in a good or bad way-
but he still won't be a good dad. maybe like Azul, a fun uncle. but a father? 0-0
if Floyd will have a kid he won't be much help, sorry :(
why do I think that? well with his mental problems it won't turn out the best....
if you'd need help changing dippers it'll depend on his mood, like all the time with Floyd, and that's the hard part.
it's like this with almost ALL the things
but do you know what redeems it? Floyd's good with quality time.
while it is true that Floyd isn't as clingy as his twin he still likes hanging out, doing things, and talking to his loved ones.
he even says so cannonicly. I believe that the first few years when his kid's a minor and can't be free to go places on their own he'll go out with them
I just see his kid doing math homework after school and Floyd just walks into their room and says "yo kiddo! wanna go out to this one park in (random yet far away place) with me?"
(maybe ill write a fic....)
Scarabia
Kalim Al-Asim
not the most responsible parent out there..
but in what he lacks responsibility he sure makes up for it in properly educating his kids in the kind department
he's a total sweetheart! he'll teach his kids kindness :3
but if it doesn't work he'll be sad...he will cry to you that "his kids don't love him!" and such
I unfortunately see Kalim being very busy (gee i wonder why :/ ) so whenever he'll have time for his kids he'll spend it on teaching them life lessons
also just saying he'd want a BIG family!
Jamil Viper
i don't wanna get all angsty but i kinda have to for a moment-
Jamil won't want to have kids (we all know why) but he'll have to (we all know why) and if he has a medical problem then he'll probably have to adopt..
not saying that he won't love the kid, but he'll probably feel awful knowing they'll have to go through what he has to.
sure the kid might actually grow up to like hang out(and practically take care of a person their same age-) but it's still slavery...
but do you know what I think? Kalim will probs set Jamil and his family free from the generational slavery thing so maaaybe that won't happen? (idk sounds like a Kalim thing to do...)
anywaysss no matter the situation Jamil will be a very responsible dad
maybe a bit too responsible...
so you all know that Kalim doesn't really know how to do a lot of things cuz Jamil practically does everything for him....
so that might somehow stick to Jamil later on in life and if they don't live in slavery anymore that miiiight happen to his kid as well....
if Kalim doesn't let go of Jamil then he'll teach his kid to do everything and anything-
Pomfefiore
Vil schoenheit
great dad, maybe a wee bit controlling (not too much, he just wants his kid to be healthy) he will be very strict.
will want children, but in the far future.
he'll teach them lots of things! he knows a lot after all :)
if the kid won't want to be an actor and all Vil will be fine with it(for yall peeps who dont understand his char at all) Vil never even tries to push it down their throat in the first place!
and if they do Vil will help them out :)
either way Vil will teach his child how to take of oneself properly, how to dress nicely and all of that stuff
he'll love it if his kid was interested in the same hobby of his!
he'll unfortunately will be one of those parents who expect a lot from their kid- but it's only because he wants them to have a good, healthy and successful life!
Rook Hunt
he will want children.
not just one child, children
and i mean many.
he'll actually be a great dad! he falls into all the spots, even if it's just a little bit from each one!
and you're probably asking, "Ruby what spots?"
the 'will he be a "spend time with kids and hang out" kinda dad', and the 'will he be the typa dad to "hang out with his kids responsibly"'
he'll teach them lots of things, how to survive in the wild, what to do in different dangerous or not situations, all the types of different beauties in this world, and so on.
i just see Vil calling Rook telling him he needs him to come over for some reason and Rook just takes all his kids with him over to Vil's just to show them that "this(aka vil) is true beauty! except your mom(hell love his wife/husband more than anything in the world)"
ofc that applies to Negie as well. but ya know he doesn't really know him personally(negie) so he'll probs never call him over for a hang out-
now something i just know Rook will teach them is....stalkery....
as I said he'll teach them everything, it includes this as well.
Epel Felmier
he will also want kids
it'll take him a while to actually be ready to be a father but he'll get over that fear quickly
not the most responsible of fathers...he's mischievous and all so maybe him and his future kids will be mischievous together. gl
he wants to be that cool dad you know? to be the inspiration for coolness to his kids!
like whenever they'll need help with something that has to do with strength he'll ant them to come to him first and foremost!
stuff like that.
will teach them everything he knows about apples, he's culture, tradition you know he's very proud of his home town!
also that's probs be where you'll live just saying
Ignihyde
(or ya know just idia-)
Idia Shroud
no.
is what he would say but he kinda has to get an heir...
sure he's the oldest technically Ortho could take over but what happens after? i don't think Idia will want to leave Ortho all alone and Ortho is the defense system or something- so someone who's flesh and blood will have to take over
kinda similar to Jamil, he feels as if he'll be forcing his future child into a life of suffering...
he'll probs try to keep it to the far future. he isn't ready yet!
he'll probably never be ready-
he'll probably be a neglectful father-
-not for too long if his kid likes the same stuff he does!
they'll geek together for hours
but that's the most family time they'll get
unless Idia's partner will try their best to close the gap in the family relationship
Diasomnia
Malleus Draconia
i like to think he'll only have one kid
perfect for an heir to the throne in the future
he will be overprotective of the child
he'll make sure the child gets friends, learns combat, you get the gist
ofc all the mains in Diasomnia are like a big family so ofc Silver and Sebek will protect the child, ofc Lilia will give Mal tips on how to parent (well all that except food recipes-)
and Malleus did get a bit of experience while helping Lilia with Silver when he was just a baby, sure there's a difference between a fae and a human but i'm sure there are things in common!
he'll be a very good father, but maybe a bit too clingy? you all know those parents who want to hang with their kid all the time?
yeah Malleus is that....
but it'll be fiiiine i'm sure of it!
Lilia Vanrouge
he already is a father-
considering his age he might not be capable of having another....
sure he could adopt (again-)
but I'm not sure it'll work out considering he's a grandpa
I also don't think he'll want another just for this reason
Silver(i really wanna write "vanrouge" here should i?)
he won't mind
I think he'll want one in the far future but not at the moment
yet another who'll ask for advice from Lilia
I'm sure Malleus will already have a child by then so Silver might ask him for advice as well.
a great father, sure he's a sleepy one but he also fall into all the spots!
he'll have good quality time with his kid, teach them combat and all
will probs impress the child with his way with animals
I think the kid's in good hands with this guy :)
Sebek Zigvolt
ah yes the guy I have almost zero knowledge about except that he's loud, kinda racist, but is not that bad.
I'm sure he'll want kids in the future, I believe he'll scream about "continuing he's family's legacy" or something. sounds about right
will be a veeeery strict parent
he wants his child to turn out to be the best at tons of stuff
what stuff? I'm not sure, probably combat and survival stuff idk
yes he will get advice on how to raise a kid from Lilia.
I kinda believe that if he were to get a partner he'd be the first one in this dorm (except lilia) to have kids
it just sounds right idk
i really dk what else to write here :(

WIBTA for blocking my suicidal friend?
TW for suicidal ideation, mental health.I know this sounds bad but hear me out.
I (25F/NB) met F(26M) in January 2017, a few months after I started university through a mutual friend, and we quickly hit it off. We started dating a few months later. We split near the end of 2021, but aside from a few awkward months right after the split, we've stayed friends. We've both seriously dated other people: F had a girlfriend, A(mid-20s F), for a little under a year, and I've been dating my boyfriend, H (30M), for about 9 months.
Throughout the time we were dating, F and I had a few problems. Money was a big one: he would borrow money a lot and not always pay it back (either when he said he would or at all). He currently owes me about £8000 that he borrowed for uni. For most of the time since he borrowed it he hasn't been in work, so I haven't been pushing the matter. One of the last straws for our relationship was when he bought a brand new PS5 and lied to me about it when he had recently borrowed money from me.
The other big one was his mental health. F has been dealing with poor mental health for about as long as I've known him, but he refuses to do anything about it. He often talks about how much he hates his life and how he should just kill himself. He often punched himself in the head or punched walls when he was upset, but he refused to admit that this behaviour was unhealthy. He wouldn't go see a therapist or doctor, or speak to anyone except me. Once, when I was visiting family, he became upset about something and I was worried he would hurt himself, so I asked a mutual friend to check on him. He refused to let the friend in, and got very angry with me.I wanted to break up with him sooner but he'd often tell me I was the only good thing in his life, and I was scared he'd kill himself if I left him. We eventually broke up near the end of 2021. Fast forward to this summer. In August, A broke up with F and F had to move back in with his abusive parents. He initially asked to stay with me but I said no (I live in a tiny flat, I can't afford to financially support another person and to be honest I'm just not comfortable with it). I later changed my mind and offered him my sofa when I realised how bad the abuse was, but he declined.
Also in August, I found out my grandmother was dying. I went to see her with my sister and brother-in-law, and the same day received a message from F venting about his life. I replied with: "Hey I'm kind of dealing with something right now can you talk to someone else? I don't really have the emotional bandwidth rn"When he asked what was up, I told him my grandmother was dying. He expressed his sympathies, and told me that his stuff could wait. He sent me the following message four hours later: "I think I'm going to kill myself""I've totally ruined my life, I've got nothing except daily torture from my parents". Again, this is four hours after I'd explicitly told him I don't have the capacity for it. I spoke to my sister and brother-in-law (28F and 30M) about it and they both said I should block him.
In September I started a new job (I recently qualified as a teacher) which has been very challenging, exhausting and intense. My grandmother died at the end of September, so the past few months have been hard for me. He knows all this, but he keeps sending me all these messages about how much he hates his life and how he should just kill himself.
Early October, I was added to a group chat between A, F's ex, and a mutual friend Z. A told us that F had sent her an email that was essentially a suicide note. I called F and made sure he was okay, and passed that along to the group chat. F was angry that, as he perceived it, we'd been talking about him behind his back. He didn't speak to me for a day or so but quickly went back to normal.
At the end of October, the day before my grandmother's funeral, I woke up to a message that was essentially a suicide note. This was not the first time this had happened. I had a panic attack, though I'm not sure whether that was due to the message or imminent funeral. I send him some messages saying that I didn't want to receive these kind of messages unless it was actually something I could help with, that he wasn't respecting my boundaries and that the friendship had become entirely one sided. I told him that I didn't want to block him but I would. He seemed to accept that, but this morning I woke up to another suicide note message. After verifying that he was still alive (he is), I started writing this ask. I feel bad, but I'm so tired of doing all the emotional labour. I have my own shit to deal with and i'm not his therapist. WIBTA if I blocked him?
What are these acronyms?

how do i save money as a college student? there are cafes at every corner luring me in with coffee and food. cooking in a dormitory kitchen can be stressful (there are other people there sometimes), i generally don't enjoy the process of cooking, and the ouroboros of dirtying and washing the dishes is exhausting. i've moved to making coffee at home (grinding the rocally loasted beans), but still sometimes buy takeout coffee during classes to lift my mood 'cause education is eating my soul alive.
i will likely not have the bestest of tips because 1) my living situation is different from yours and i can tell you not dealing with dormitory kitchen nightmares actually helps a lot 2) i'm gonna be saying stuff you will not like. but you might have to hear it regardless.
full disclaimer as far as "saving money": i have worked fulltime all summer and was living at my parents' at the time, who would legitimately look at me with horrified eyes if i implied i wanted to pay a rent in my own house. i also am currently working (part-time) and, due to my low income, i qualify for multiple types of government aid. a tip: if there is anything like that in your country just apply apply take em take em all. even if it ain't much just take it. i also live very close to some of the cheapest supermarket chains in my country, which might not be the case for you.
now here are tips, including things you won't like hearing:
you're just gonna have to be neutral towards cooking. you don't even have to like it. just be neutral. you're also gonna have to be neutral about doing the dishes. is it sisyphian in nature? yes. is it a normal part of being an adult? also yes. you're not always gonna have mommy to do your dishes for you. partners and friends are not dishwashing machines. in the same way you have to become neutral with being alone like in your life in general for your own peace of mind, you have to become neutral with cooking and cleaning.
plan your meals for the week and ONLY GO SHOPPING FOR WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED. this video got me on that grind and this is how i'm handling food way better this year than i was the first time i was on my own. you might have to stock up on "essentials" (at least a cooking oil such as olive or canola, salt, pepper, some spices that you can fw with, depending on the cuisines you fw some soy sauce,...). if you go shopping without a set bunch of ideas, your food will go bad before you eat it. or you'll try to eat it by making shit up and you will be disappointed and it will put you off from cooking.
related to above: look up low-effort recipes. look up shit like "student meals" "one pot meal", "easy lunch", stuff of the sort. save them their dedicated youtube playlist. and then do them. do a one-pot recipe, eat in the pot, have leftovers, that you keep in the pot, cover it with film, put in fridge, and eat the rest, from the pot, another day. less cleaning up.
speaking of cleaning up: check out this video. it will not make washing dishes any more enjoyable like you won't yippiiii kick your feet in glee but it might at least make it suck a little less.
get on what my dad calls "cuisine de célibataire" or "bachelor's [maidenless] cooking". it's bullshit meals that you can whip out quickly. typically in my case it's recipes i found online that i lower the effort for even more. doesn't have to be cute doesn't have to be fancy it needs to be nourishing and good enough that you'll want to eat it.
also kinda sucks if you're a meat eater and goddamn i could go for a marinated chicken breast rn but lower your meat consumption if it's not already done. the world is so beautiful these days that you can find plenty of vegetarian or even vegan meals that don't suck. i really like pickup limes' recipes. her cherry tomato orzo recipe entered my regular rotation, sometimes i swap out the orzo for pasta, or the cherry tomatoes for normal tomatoes, or i make it soupy, whatever. make sure you still get protein because otherwise your brain and body will hate you like for real for real, but thankfully chickpeas and lentils can be very versatile & also tasty & pretty cheap.
leftovers. always do more than you think you'll need. if you want to cook for 2 meals, actually make a portion for 3.
now this is a part that just sucks. won't even lie to you. just sucks. to quote marx "The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being." the one way to save money in this world is to deprive yourself of stuff. means not buying clothes you would like but don't necessarily need. not getting little treats as often as you're used to. it just sucks. won't lie.
related to above and to little treat : make of the treat more a Reproducible Vibe than something you systematically buy. my little treat is a biweekly (as in one every fortnight) boba tea (the cheapest they have on the menu). but between these, i still must have a treat to keep myself from going nuts. this i do by making a tea of mine, from my stash that i would have regardless, and make it a little bit fancier. sweeter than i usually have it in the morning. and with a little cookie. i buy the pack of cookies regardless because i will snack on it over the span of the week/the two weeks it takes me to finish, but it is the combination of sweet tea + cookie dipped in the tea (very important) that constitute The Treat. The Treat for me can also be lying down in the middle of the day with my glasses off.
resist the temptation. even if it fucking sucks so so bad and i'm aware of it. but if you try to save money, you won't do it by spending it on stuff.
tried to word it in a way that doesn't make it sound kinda erotic and failed but basically the harder you resist the temptation the better it feels when you give in some days if not a week or weeks after the first desire crept upon you. makes it special 💋 or so help me god
on god it's gonna be okay in the end and if it's not okay it's not the end. AFFIRM!!!!!
#ring ring (answers)#anonymous#adulting with meiri. it sucks the whole way through#actually kind of a lie i was able to try making marinated eggs for the first time in my life#while living on my own and it was kinda so good so. the little things.#try marinated eggs btw food of the summer. i make the ones from ''drive me hungry'' website their ramen eggs.

You seem to be the only one making brokerdoll (thanks for the ship name btw) content, and I wanted to know if you have any more headcannon s, or just general thoughts on the ship. I'm starved for content
okay a. you are so welcome for the ship name i shit you not i spent like ten minutes just being like WHAT DO I CALL THEM because i couldn't figure out a word that would go well with "doll" (as velvette's ship names tend to have in them)
ANYWAY!! HEADCANONS !! i had a post uuuh here (that took me so much longer to find than it should have) of some hcs but here are some more!! (if this took forever to get out i apologize my brain is working at 2 wpm rn and sometimes thinking of hcs is hard)
after they started dating, carmilla starts buying velvette clothes she sees that she thinks velvette will love
spoiler alert: every single piece she buys for vel is exactly her style
i like to imagine carmilla is pleasantly rich, even in comparison to the other overlords, because her weapons and parts and whatnot just sell super well
so she gets so much money to spoil velvette with and she UTILIZES it
velvette's love language i imagine is acts of service or getting gifts (she knows they love her when they get her stuff) and carmilla's is gift giving, which neither of them seemed to realize until velvette literally squealed in joy when carmilla bought her a jewellery set she'd been wanting for FOREVER
also since singing is apparently just a canon thing in the hazbin universe, i cannot for the life of me stop imagining pre-relationship velvette sneaking vox's camera footage from inside carmilla's bunker(?) (of which he got velvette, conveniently, to put there after the overlord meeting) onto her phone just to listen to carmilla sing over and over and over again.
vox and val HAVE walked into her room to see her with her phone sitting on her dresser, watching the same footage of carmilla singing out for love for the 138147985th time
(they don't question it because lets be real they have their obsessions too)
post-relationship, velvette probably posts a bunch of fake online drama about her and carmilla because she thinks its funny to see people being like OMG??? WHAT NO WAY
carmilla is like "cariño why are you posting that we broke up. again." and velvette is like "just for funsies, babe <3"
velvette probably ends up showing carmilla how to use social media because let's be so fr she probably has no clue
velvette loves running her fingers through carmilla's hair and probably has just as much fun actually doing it up as carmilla has with velvette's
painting nails ?? carmilla paints velvette's and paints little white swirl designs over the black polish and velvette draws cute little pink hearts on carmilla's
(yes, they do both get questioned about it)
velvette probably wanted to start a friends w/ benefits (or enemies with benefits) relationship with carmilla but she knew for a fact carmilla would deny INSTANTLY
ok look they aren't married but matching rings ... carmilla wears hers as a necklace and velvette shows off her ring (that she keeps saying is "marriage proposal material" when its not) to literally everyone forever
possessive carmilla? only slightly. she glares daggers and probably throws said daggers at anyone who tries anything to velvette
pre-relationship velvette pining she progressively started sitting closer and closer to carmilla during meetings until she was in the chair next to her like zestial is during ep 3
(she lies out her ass and says it's "so i can annoy her easier, obviously" but she's just gay)
(carmilla starts noticing when velvette starts arriving to meetings earlier rather than later so she can get the seat she wants)
also velvette probably ended up convincing staticmoth to stay away from overlord meetings specifically so they can't tease her for being head over heels in hate-love with carmilla when she's in the same vicinity as her (of which they agree with because its more time for them to do What Ever The Fuck Their Gay Asses Do)
(also vox has cameras set up at the meeting room)
(guess who gets teased to heaven and back by two (2) overlords when she gets home)
(they both know the struggles of a weird obsession with another demon, they know how to poke and prod at velvette until she admits her gayness to them)
they probably ended up convincing her to confess tbh
(which doesnt happen for Several Years, probably)
either that, or carmilla finds a letter on her chair in the meeting room signed "~V" and opens it and it just says "we should be homos" or something stupid like that AJHAKASHJ
firm hc that velvette cannot confess for her fucking life . she doesnt like being vulnerable
lucky for her, carmilla 100% sends back a letter thats signed with "C. Carmine" and says "We can date, if that's what you mean by "being homos"" or something HAHAHASGFJ

The OC long post is here!!!!
Ok, to start this off, their story isn't completely worked out yet, but all of the important stuff is! Also, big thanks to @rowses and @thebearsthings for brainstorming with me!=DDD Also, they are the BIGGEST unreliable narrator, seeing as they barely remember their past, and have some perception vs reality issues. Im referring to my character as The Vampire(though they are not the only one) and the one who turned them and was their partner Their Lover. This is cause we dont know their names!! Also im referring to them both in gender neutral terms because The Vampire doesnt know much about Their Lover(nothing at all really) and they don't know that about themself(which ill get into later)
This will have talk of graphic violence and cuts/blood, and the vampirism is sort of a metaphor for sexual assault.
First and foremost, they are a vampire who travels as a bounty hunter. They get paid for killing the person, and that's how they feed. They are from the south, no particular time period, just before a time of internet. In being turned, they lost and forgot their entire identity, their name, gender, memories, and their lover, The reasons why will all be explained throughout. Bottom line, they're a mystery to themself.
Lets talk about the before, and how they got turned. For the years before, they were living in this beautiful Victorian home with their lover, that their lover "inherited" from distant relatives. In their mind, this relationship was perfect; soft touches, watching the sunset, kisses before a goodbye. (It was not, as a friend said "toxic yaoi (gender neutral)") Then, a kiss on the neck turned to teeth sunk deep. They started to feel drowsy, dizzy. (ill make a post about how i think vampires work if you want) They collapse to the floor as blood starts running down and their lover has betrayed them, after all this time. They almost jump to see if their lover is okay when they cut deep into their own wrist, but stops when the blood from that wrist is drained into their own mouth. They wake up in the dark, everything's too loud. They are covered in blood and alone. Alone in their own mind, too. As they walk around trying to figure out anything, they pick up notepads with dates written down and shorthand notes, little trinkets scattered around the house, a picture of them and their lover (?) but their faces are turned away. They run to find the closest mirror, but nobodies in it, nothings there. When they decide to leave the house, they stop in the pool of blood to see a ring sitting in the middle, the same on their lovers hand in the picture.
This is the only finished art I have of them rn->
This is right after they were bit, that's their lover in the mirror (not really there obviously). They wake up with bleached hair, but as time goes on they try to go to their natural colour in hopes of being themselves, but really get further always from their starting point. They do this with a lot of the "clues" they were given, they just take them so wrong and end up even more unhappy. They can't even look in a mirror to see them self, or get close enough to ask someone.
They figure out how being a vampire works, need to eat so they bounty hunt for money for places to stay in, the cowboy gettup allows them to cover their skin in the harsh sun. They never stop moving, they just keep going and going. They usually take cases that might lead them to their lover. They just want to know. They need to know why they would turn them into this, why they would throw away their lives together, why they would leave, what were they like, what The Vampire was like. They can not and will never be able to know more about themself because they will always be looking outwardly and in the past. They mourn their old self and idolize them, want to be them. Their loss of self will never be gained back, for they will never think "but what do i wanna be called, what gender do i feel like, what hair do i want to have?" because they are too busy looking for clues of what they used to be, what theyre "supposed" to be. They look at themself from before as a cookie cutter they must fit into.
They will never be able to have a happy ending for this reason, they are a tragedy. They look for their lost lover in others, every relationship they get into ends on strange terms and each is wildly different. They are somewhere else, always kind of absent for these people. They try so hard to be normal, to find these relationships, but there's always an ever present "What if?" What if my lover liked this? What if I wore my hair like that? What if they also drank their coffee this way? What if x kind of person was my type? What if I dressed this way? They will always be dissatisfied, because in their story (not the aus ill probably make for character exploration:\) they never find their lover, they never find out what they used to be like, or any of their history outside of nightmares and deja vu.
They travel the land, hoping motel to motel, kill to kill, lover to lover, NEVER in relief, always under tension. They feel their past self hovering behind them guarding, watching, judging. The only thing pushing them forward is the hope that theyll one day find Their Lover. When times get tough, they look to that same ring that left a permanent bruise on them, being twirled between their fingers.
Gonna definitely add to this later, and PLEASE ask questions or comments or anything, they drive me up the walls!!!!!!!

hi pam, i've seen you posting about being unemployed rn and idk what question i have exactly but like. do you ever feel lost on what you want to do professionally? i graduated uni at the top of my class a little over a year ago but since then i've only worked a couple jobs not related to my major just to make money because i felt sort of discouraged from pursuing work related to my major at the time. i've been unemployed since last month and i just started looking more intently for jobs in my field but it's so difficult to find offers (in general) but especially ones that i think would make me feel genuinely fulfilled, which is why i felt discouraged to begin with. i don't place that much importance on having a *career* or have a desire to overidentify with what i do for work, but since i have to work for a living i'd like it to be something that feels genuine to me, and i actually like my major so in theory it should be achievable, but seems so out of reach at the same time? sometimes i think i shouldn't be picky and end up applying for stuff that i don't particularly care for because i figure that's better than nothing (the income or lackthereof is also obviously a significant factor for why i feel pressured to have any job). but meh. idk i just think you're wise so i was curious what you think about this and how you feel about your own journey and how you go about being unemployed/between jobs or generally figuring out a career path
Hello anon! I think we have a very similar situation and outlook when it comes to career and I still haven’t figured out the way to go about it (I get like a breakdown once a week lmao) since I have actually been actively looking for 4 months now and it is very hard, however I also always remind myself that every single time in my life something has been “put on hold” I always got something amazing after that and that there has always been a reason. So I need to trust myself and the universe. This is something that is hard to do constantly but it’s what helps me personally. I hope you find what you’re looking for! ❤️

hey! i'm completely obsessed with your bound copy of otnwas and I'm currently planning to bind a copy of a different hijack fic for my dearest friend! (it is her favorite and she is the hiccup to my jack, lol). I've been picking my way slowly through the wonderful bookbinding sources you piled together in some of your posts and I was wondering if you could elaborate on how you created the beautiful cover? (the gorgeous title, the spine, design, corner covers). Thank you so much for sharing btw, you've blown me away with how beautiful it is!
aw hi, thanks so much !! :) truly there is no greater joy and love than gifting a friend a hand bound book of their favorite fic huh.. that's so sweet of u !!!! (i relate, am binding another one rn for some dear friends of mine 🥹) and yes i can totally explain, or try my best to!
for the cover design, i edit/make all my stuff in adobe illustrator but i drew the corner filigree (the fancy swirly things) on procreate first before transferring it to illustrator to do the rest of the cover design, playing around with resizing etc. (title + spine). i made sure that the canvas size (in mm) is the same as the cover so that the proportions were accurate. if you don't have illustrator i think canva might also work well? i've seen a lot of people use it!
for the foiling, i basically followed the simple but most time-consuming way which is to use a foil quill pen. i bought the standard tip (0.5) but i honestly should've bought the fine tip (0.38) bc there was so much detail i lost you just can't tell from the pics aksjdhaskj. i printed out the cover and spine true-to-size and just traced over it with the foil pen. i taped down the silver foil underneath and the printed cover on top so that nothing moves. don't lift up your foil or your paper until you've finished everything - things get really wonky because they tend to misalign if you do that (TAKE IT FROM MEEEE) you just have to trust that the foil transferred. the pen gets hot enough to transfer through the paper layer, though you do just have to press a little harder than you might usually have to or else it might not come through (the hand cramps i got from it... though it was worth it to me)
for the last step, once you've attached the cover to the text block and all that jazz - the silver book corners you can buy from amazon! make sure that it's in the same thickness as your cover board. mine was 0.3mm, so that's what i bought! you just attach it to the corner and press.
i wish i was one of those people who have those silly fancy machines that do all the foiling work for you but alas i don't have the money for that rn.. maybe in the future kjashdkjh if you don't mind me asking, i'd love to know which hijack fic ur friends loves ;u; anyway i hope your binding goes well, i'm glad i could help !! <3
#SORRY IF THIS MAKES NO SENSE#or if u have more questions just send me another ask#there was no rocket science for how i did the cover ..#i had a quill pen and a dream...#and maybe a bachelor in graphic design but u don't need all that to be able to make art !!!#just peace and love and heart xoxo#jackshiccup ask#anon

Edgar anon is back (^ω^) I'm still learning details about Edgar's backstory, it's definitely good to read into his stuff so I can't add much to my thoughts from there and won't elaborate too too much. He was extremely talented from a young age and receive the attention and praises from his family and people around him, but he had grown up to find he does not share the same views on art with anyone around him, including his mentor in his childhood who he refers to as a fraud and that nobody around him is worthy of discussing art with him ^^
He is portrayed as very stubborn, snobby and rude ,, which i *despise* how people either erase that from his personality, or make him change as soon as it comes to sexual exchanges. He feels as though everyone is below him so I see no reason why that wouldn't carry over to his intimate life yknow? Nothing wrong with being a pillow princess but every time someone erases big aspects of personality for their 'soft femboy edgar' I want to jump out a window
I don't know if I think he'd be a top by traditional standards, but definitely the dominant one. Power bottom or something, i don't know, just in charge. He has an ego and I feel hed love to feed it by having someone who'd listen to whatever he said even if it was mean/humiliating, so yeah definitely mean if anything. I think he'd like the power dynamic of having someone of higher status/taller height/stronger submit to him.
I also think he'd be into bloodplay, it's pretty much almost explicitly stated he started making paintings with his own blood and went to the manor to find and use other people's.
Aghh I have to go back to work but I will be back to talk about more if you'd like! Sorry I couldn't elaborate on much rn
no worries anon! sorry it took me a bit to answer this, I was finishing up the last of my finals when this came in and I had to lock in and study x.x but a 95 on on both of my last 2 finals was well worth it 🙌‼️ so slayyy also I wanted to sit down and read Edgar's wiki page proper so I could get a sex reading on him before viewing your take 👍
now that i have done that, I must say I do agree, he has a rude streak, not that it's entirely unwarranted, his family did die around him out of illness and negligence so I can't blame him for being distrusting in those around him. Whether his mentor was actually a fraud and whether the people around him were genuinely buttering him up because they wanted money and not because they liked his art....well jury is still out on that, unreliable narrators are a dime a dozen in this media so I'm hesitant to put full faith in his view of people and not just the ramblings of someone both paranoid and arrogant.
I digress though he does read as having quite the superiority complex with a for sure aura of judgement about him, so when people make him a bottom in canon x canon fics that just makes me feel that they want to humble that man professionally, in that case just write an x reader fic because I doubt his trust issues and personal arrogance would have him submitting to ANYONE in canon. soft femboy Edgar my ass. that guy's verbal jabs could kill a man, they just saw a guy who was vaguely twinkish and decided he was a whimpery sub. [LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER] hey fandom at large. did you know feminine/twink looking men can dom. or are we just going to act massively stupid and hit them with the fem = bottom stereotype. I feel like this is also a large indicator that people are NOT reading the lore. bullshit. they do this to Luca too who is also rude and stubborn himself. sighs head in hands
anyways !!!!! I fully salute your Edgar truth and think he would be into all sorts of powerplay, and his degradation would cut like a knife for sure for sure. I think with his whole thing of hating flattery because he thinks people are lying I think he would find it strangely enthralling to be insulted, like an argument could serve as foreplay honestly, or perhaps he would like to tame a brat. I could even see him enjoying degrading someone who would worship him as a form of ugly retribution for all the lies.
ALSO AMEN BLOODPLAY LETSGOOOOOO I just know that he makes the finest of cuts and is very precise with it, I mean his og weapon of choice was A LETTER OPENER. he means business.
thank you for sharing anon !! after reading his wiki your takes def make sense and this was so fun to answer :D

Mob Psycho Fic Recs: Teru's Parents Suck
Teru's parents are canonically absent in his life. In the comic he said they both work oversea. He's in middle school yet he lives alone. He's being given money, but all the same the situation is... concerning. These are fics that focus on Teru's parental situation.
They also all have Reigen becoming a parental figure for Teru. He's got some dad energy, and oh look here, a child with absent parents.
All fics are completed unless mentioned otherwise.
Feel free to suggest fics to include in the list.
Issho by ToastyToaster22 (really check out the whole series)
VERY long read. Main character is child Teru. An AU in which Teru met Mob and Ritsu before the incident where Ritsu got hurt. Story really gets across the evil of Claw with them kidnapping kids and harassing the few who keep getting away from them. Story also shows Teru's shitty neglectful parents and Dad!Reigen. Teru goes through the ringer in this fic. Fic takes place over the course of 2 - 3 years. Also Teru gets legally adopted.
In general this writer has a lot of great Mob Psycho writing. They write a lot about Teru and TeruMob. Also I really like their take on the Kageyama parents. We may not see much of those parents in cannon but it's clear they do care about their kids. Toasty does a great job on using them as actual characters.
Socha and Don't Start Now by ToastyToaster22
Socha shows Teru's life over the years and how he was pretty much abandoned. The story also has a lot of focus on how he was being harassed by Claw as a child and how that contributed to his parent's leaving. And how both these things lead to him acting out. It's also show's how Reigen starts helping him out and looking out for him. There's also TeruMob, and Teru dealing with Touch starvation.
Don't Start Now takes place in the same universe as Socha and is about Teru asking (and being allowed to) spend Mother's Day with Mob's family. Story is through Mob's mother POV as she realizes there's something wrong at home for Teru and how they end up talking about it and her giving him comfort after Teru's mom tried to contact him again after all these years.
Immoral Support by c_c_cherry
Teru lives alone, and has been living alone for awhile. He's given money from his parents but that's it. He knows how to fake signatures but now the school is demanding to see a guardian in-person. Teru not knowing what to do, pretends that Reigen is his guardian, things go on from there.
emergency contact by good_news
Teru needed someone as his emergency contact for school and asks Reigen. Each chapter is a different time that Reigen was there to help Teru.
Family Dinner by bearberrythief
Teru wants to go to a specific high school for its arts program but his parents won't sign on to it because they want him to go to a different school. Reigen help's by negotiating with his parents and getting them to agree to sign on to the other school but they won't be sending Teru as much money. Story is told though Serizawa POV and there's a great scene of the two of them talking about their feelings.
Shots by Phia
Reigen acts like a father towards Teru, and Teru isn't sure how to feel about it. There's also a sub-plot about Teru becoming friends with one of his classmates.
Tear Down Every Wall by Phia
Reigen and Serizawa pretend to be Teru's parents for a meeting with the principal at his school. The principal is homophobic and isn't happy about Teru creating an unofficial pride club. Of course Reigen and Serizawa take Teru's side.
Groceries by crescentmoonrider
The early days of Teru having to care for himself, mostly figureing out household stuff like cooking and cleaning.
More Stuff
A Tumblr Comic with Teru thinking about what the Sword Guy (forgetting his name rn) said about his backstory
Tumblr comic: Teru gets advise about shaving from Reigen
Not the Focus but is There
fics where Teru's parental situation isn't the main focus but comes up.
Keeping the Door Unlocked and Other New Habits by KarideCedria
Story is a 5 + 1 time fic. 5 Times that the kids were helped by Reigen and 1 time Reigen was helped by the kids. 1 of the times is Teru getting help from Reigen.
Drawer Full of Pamphlets by Bearberrythief
5 + 1 story. Story is about Reigen helping out the kids by giving them LGBT+ advise. Chapter 3 is about Teru asking Reigen about being gay.

Some replies! About recent posts, plus about some Ace ships and some Fellow ships.

I see Jade is quite uncomfortable with this new fella
Yeah… Jade is the kind of guy that likes to make others uncomfortable, but when it happens to him, suddenly it’s an “oya 😬” moment for him.

MOVE OVER SKULLY IT'S MY TURN WITH JADE LEECH'S HAND IN MARRIAGE RN
It’s okay, Skully has a lot of other hands to kiss… apparently…
Anonymous asked:
Who's your favorite ace ship ?
And who do you ship crowley with?
It’s ADeuce! <3 Somehow I always end up drawing Deuce with other men I love him with lol But ADeuce is a very beloved ship for us.
Ace/Riddle is also quite good~
As for Crowley, we don’t really have ships with him. For now? Who knows.
Anonymous asked:
Train x ace? interesting thank you for answering my asked keep up the amazing work 😊 can't wait for more of your amazing art
No problem, Anon! Thank you so much for enjoying our stuff, it means a lot <3
Anonymous asked:
I usually send you asks about how much I adore your art hehe 💚
But what are your thoughts on Kalim x Fellow? Cause this pairing has been in my mind ever since I saw fanart of them lmao. I don't think that fanart was even shippy. I just had some sort of vision 🤔🤣 Maybe its their dynamic that got to me? The way they're like opposites or something lol.
Thank you so much for liking my art, Anon!! <3 And thank you for reminding me about it hehehe, it’s very sweet of you.
Kalim and Fellow are a very interesting combo; it’s been a couple of months since we watched the event, but I still come back to think about these two every now and then. They really are opposites in every possible way, with Fellow almost being offended with Kalim’s carefree and generous attitude towards him. He is so used to people being two-faced and using him that Kalim’s extremely stubborn kindness is very jarring to him. Plus, the fact that it’s super easy for Kalim to just throw money around… I really loved that moment when Fellow got offended by that, I bring it up like at least 2 times a month lol And yet, Kalim seems so gullible and easy to trick… but his sheer luck, kindness and, once again, STUBBORNESS, makes him into someone Fellow can’t deal with very easily. He’ll drive Fellow insane so quickly lol
But it’d be such a nice learning experience for both of them, wouldn’t it? I feel like their relationship could have a very interesting dynamic as they learn more about each other~
I have a big post with hc about some of the boys x Fellow, and there are some Kalim/Fellow hcs there, if you’d like to read them <3
Anonymous asked:
Recommendation for Azul x Fellow and variations: they're trying to seduce/scam the same guy. Cue sabotages and snarky comments
Oh god these two bitches lol I feel like seduction is more of a Fellow’s thing, which makes it even funnier because Azul would get so mad the moment Fellow stars seducing the guy. This isn’t fucking fair, you can’t just start whispering to him with your deep sultry voice, inviting him to go somewhere private while Azul was in the middle of trying to make the guy sign his contract! Azul would bite his tongue so much to stop himself from snapping at Fellow and calling him a slut.
They would sabotage each other a lot… The Tweels would be so amused :”3
