#bc you want more emphasized then if it was beauty makeup

I know this is a bit of a touchy subject right now, but I want to discuss the differences between creating alien species and making them look non-human, versus simply having bad makeup. Because there is a distinction! Putting it all under a read more because it got a bit longer then intendedđ”âđ«
For starters, none of this criticism has anything to do with the actors. This is purely directed towards Disney's makeup department. I think the actors fit the bill appearance-wise, end of story.
Hera and Thrawn, in short, do not look all that great in terms of facial makeup. And as someone who adores these characters, it is frustrating! Disney, one of the largest entertainment companies on Earth, couldn't find the time, budget, or artists to work on the appearances of two main characters in this show they've been building up to for years.
Personally, my main problem with it is the lack of contouring. I've been saying this to my friend for weeks as well as mentioned it in reblogs on and off, but neither Hera or Thrawn have any sort of contouring done to enhance their face shapes. There is no emphasis on the cheekbones, or for Thrawn's forehead bumps, none of it. They rely on the actors' natural facial structures to do the work for them. Which, if it was cosplay or otherwise in person, is fine. But with studio lights, it causes a washed-out look, especially depending on where the light is coming from. To combat this (in an acting setting), makeup artists emphasize things such as the eyebrows and the cheeks and especially any wrinkles, to help bring out any facial expressions made.
How does this differ from aliens being, well. Aliens! Considering we don't have a real baseline for what real life aliens would look like, it's only fair to allow filmmakers to go wild with speculation, even if it's off-putting. But that isn't what the issue is here. The aliens we're focusing on here, Twi'leks and Chiss, do have similar facial structures to humans. They're humanoids! So their faces would reflect light and cast shadows just as much as a human face would. By all accounts, make aliens freaky looking, but basic rules of light still apply. We should be able to clearly see Thrawn's cheekbones and forehead bumps without having to pull out a magnifying glass, something that is possible via, you guessed it, contouring!
Also, considering this is fiction, things looking bad is more of a reflection on the effort being put into the show than anything else. They could have done more but chose not to. Star Trek has some fantastic examples of humanoid aliens being distinctly alien without being poorly designed (I've been watching TNG and it is quite fun!). As said before, I'm all for freaky looking aliens. But bad design and bad makeup ruins that. What is and isn't bad design and makeup does fall into a more subjective range, I won't shy away from that truth. But I cannot get over the lack of contouring in a show that can be so brightly lit! Disney's shooting themselves in the foot here!
At the end of the day this is a television show though. Lets not get mad at people who do or do not like the makeup, and people are allowed to critique it as much as others are allowed to enjoy it. No one is any less of a fan for not liking the Ahsoka show, and no one is less of a fan for loving the show. I've seen some... very nasty things in the tags in relation to this specifically as well as for the whole show. Not very fun.
To end this on a lighter note, here's a very wonderfully done makeup job on a cosplayer! I don't know how to make the embedded stuff go away whoopsđ
#ahsoka series#ahsoka series spoilers#ahsoka series episode 6#ahsola series episode 6 spoilers#ahsoka show#ahsoka#hera syndulla#grand admiral thrawn#thrawn#mitth'raw'nuruodo#star wars#ahsoka critical#disney critical#bc lets be real this post is less critical about the show itself and more towards disney and their practices#i hope all this makes sense#i have some experience with theater makeup but none in everyday conventional beauty makeup#and i feel like this falls soooomewhere inbetween?#bc you want more emphasized then if it was beauty makeup#but you dont want the high amount of layers in theater makeup (bc its seen from close up versus from far away on a stage)#i think the cosplayer did a wonderful job with her makeup i genuinely adore it#and its what id hope for a disney level production!#i do not understand how more people are not mad at disney for this#i get having a personal preference and enjoying it on a personal level#but at the same time its possible to enjoy it while also knowing that disney very well could have done better

-`ïœĄ cosplay â kuroo tetsurou. ËË-
cw : smut 1K. established relationship. somewhat pwp. self-indulgent. cosplaying. reader is shorter than kuroo. mentions reader has a slightly foul mouth lol. petnames (sweetheart, sweet girl, doll, princess). a/n : kuroo brainrot. word dump. not proofread. i'm just thinking with my pusâ idk how or why but this idea just came to me, popped out of nowhere when i saw this cute elf-ish, cottage-core, fairy-core, outfit in a game that i was playing so... enjoy ig bcs i sure did ;) p.s. reader's not cosplaying a particular anime character!
after losing a bet, you now find yourself changing into an elf costume. it was kuroo's idea. it's a cosplay of a character, but you didn't know who it was since you weren't that much familiar with anime like kuroo was. (ironic, isn't it?)
'hmm, not bad.' you thought to yourself as you looked at the mirror and scanned the outfit.
a lilac themed palette. cinderella-like shoes. a short, ruffled dress that emphasized your waist and long, puffy, loose, chiffon sleeves that are fitted on the wrist. an off shoulder top that showed off the collarbones. daisy flowers tightly wrapped around the neck. crystal-like jewelry hung by the ears. and the cherry on top: a ferronniĂšres.
âknock knock. you alright there, baby? you're not chickening out, are you?â your lover spoke at the other side of the door, the smirk evident in his tone. after rolling your eyes and holding back a smile, you took one last look at yourself and decided to show him what he's been waiting for. âhold your horses, will ya? i'm comin' out. and don't you dare laugh or you'll get kicked in the nuts.â
kuroo always found your vulgar language amusing as it contrasted your demure demeanor. he felt nice knowing you could be honest around him without holding back.
you opened the door and took a step back, letting the man in front of you get a better look at you.
beautiful. ethereal. pristine. elegant. pure. chaste. innocent. divine. heavenly. there were countless words to describe you, yet he could only stare. his mind had gone blank at the sight of an angel. his angel.
well, technically, his elf, right now,
âhow is it?â you slowly asked, not knowing why you did. maybe it's because you initially thought that this was a dumb idea, but now that you've tried it, it might not be so bad. maybe it's because at the start, you wanted to just play and get a good laugh out of this, but now you actually wanted him to like it.
your fingers started fidgeting with the hem of the dress, avoiding eye contact at all costs, not wanting to feel more embarrassed than you already were.
âthis might not be bad y'know. the dress is kinda nice. though i don't know much about the character so i don't know whether it would've been better if i had put on some makeup or notâ mmphâ before you could even finish your sentence, he snatched your lips with his, delicately cupping your cheek as he kissed you with much fervor, but at the same time, he was gentle and careful.
after he was satisfied, he pulled himself back to admire you once more since the first time, he got carried away and didn't have much time to take you all in. you normally take him all in.
âdid you knowââ he paused, eyes finally landing back on yours after engraving this image in his memory. âit's my favorite character because it reminded me of you.â he smiled that adoring smile of his that always got you so down bad.
âand why's that?â you tried to hold back a grin as you got ahead of yourself. kuroo chuckled, pinching both of your cheeks with a goofy look on his face. âbecause they look so innocent but they have the nastiest mouth.â he kids which earns him a playful (but strong, nevertheless) slap on his arm.
âi do not. i just curse, a lot.â you defensively retort.
âoh yeah? we'll see about that. i'd love to watch you eat your words, or in your case, spit it all up.â
kuroo is a man of his words, and he sure doesn't like to back down.
after the hazy happenings, you're now the one getting slapped on your ass. only this time around, it's kuroo's thighs that are smacking your backside with his length sliding in and out of your gaping hole.
your wrists were pinned above your head by tetsurou who's only using one arm to tie you down as his other is busy toying with your mounds, pinching and pulling. his mouth would alternate between sucking on your areolas, making out with you, and leaving bites on your collarbones, neck, earlobe, everywhere his lips could reach.
it felt hotter because he was fucking you with your clothes still on. your bare skin before was now decorated with blooming red and purple love marks.
despite getting all down and dirty, in kuroo's eyes, you still managed to look so magnificent, so angelic. the sounds you make were another case, however. spewing curses, lewd moans, salacious whines, lustful begging; it's a succubus speaking.
âyes? feels so good that you're finally showing your true colors, sweetheart?â
âohh fuck meâ yesyes right there that's the spot! your cock's going so deep inside me it's like your fucking me to heavenâ hnng don't stop please, breed me, wreck my insides and reshape it, fill me up with your cum will you? please pleaseâ!â
he twitches inside of you from how horny you get that your rambles get so debaucherous.
âfuck. my sweet girl. every damn time, you still take my breath away.â he chuckles, amused, so turned on, and close to his high which was evident from his sloppy movements.
âshit, so close, doll. come with me, yeah? i'll give you all that i have. gonna fill you up to the brim and breed your dirty, little, hole. you'd like that, won't you, princess?â
âoh my god, yesyes i'd like that a lotâ hnngah fuck 'm gonna cum so hard on your dick!â your walls pulsated around him, getting tighter and tighter from the pleasure that was threatening to spill. and after just a single flick, everything crumbles apart.
the aftermath was just as fun, especially for kuroo.
âcurse a lot my ass.â he weakly laughs, giving you a kiss on your temple as he tries to catch his breath.
you lightly smack his shoulder, body slumping against tetsurou who instinctively pulls you to lay down on his chest, hands automatically brushing your hair to soothe you and calm you down, all the while giving you loving kisses here and there.
âbut it's one of the things i love about you, so don't go holding back on me and just curse me endlessly. knew it was your love language from the start.â he chuckles, giving you a longer kiss to shut you up. not that you're complaining.

no offense intended to anyone (im about to say something at least mildly offensive) but i saw a really bad post about "bimbos of color" that one of my followers on here reblogged. not only did the women not look like bimbos but one of the images was even very obviously AI generated.
its kind of been bothering me, especially since i've been planning a bimbo diversity post for a while now, though mine was more about the importance of personal expression. i want to make a point that all bimbos don't need to look the same. a lot of bimbo blogs on here and in general bimbo spaces online just stick to one look and i hate that women might see that and think they genuinely need to sacrifice their individuality to be a bimbo. and i realize you may be thinking "they do, that's the point of being a bimbo", i understand that and some women may just want to sacrifice their individuality and be a carbon copy of a carbon copy, but i disagree. i believe there's room for fat bimbos, flat bimbos, natural bimbos, punk bimbos,, etcetera etcetera. the problem is
finding examples
figuring out the common "bimbo tells" -- how do all these women look "bimbo" when they all look different?
because i don't much about makeup, photoshop, facetune, or... anything in regards to beauty and physical appearance. i even looked through Pink Bimbo Academy's blog to see if I could get some sort of idea (i really admire what they do, btw) but maybe i'm tackling this all from the wrong angle and Limerick's tool box theory (it wasn't even Limerick's, hell, I'd came up with the same idea earlier) is the one to utilize in this instance. all these different women don't look like bimbos because they look alike... but because they look like bimbos.
my old notes explain it better:
i think another reason why the idea of bimbo diversity has been weighing down on me so much lately because of Ashten, Ashten and everybody. i would just like to emphasize once again that copious amounts of extremely dangerous surgery isn't the only way.
im posting this as an example but i don't even know how dangerous lip fillers/injections are... go figure. anyway, expect a post maybe later tonight. im not sure if itll be writing or just pictures at this point or what. and there may be drawings instead of just IRL examples bc im sure they exist but examples of fat bimbos have been extremely hard to find... maybe i'll make two posts.

Disconnected Fate
a/n: hehe thank you for @velvxtparadiseâ for requesting this im so happy you did bc it was an amazing idea (their works are also so amazing you should check âem out) but ya THANK YOU ily!!
Disconnected Fate: Soulmate AU/Quirkless AU - Sero x Reader
Synopsis: Soulmates were something to be treasured. The second half of your soul, finally connecting, becoming one. But, you couldnât really rely on that if your string is cut. But will meeting someone with your same fate change that?
Word Count: 3110
Warnings: Cursing, clubbing, drinking, mentions of vomiting, kissing, old ass pervs, groping (if there are more pls let me know!!) {does include some todomomo and kamijirou}
âMina, I donât think this fits very well,â you laugh at your figure in the mirror, turning your body and running your hands down the fabric to slim it down. Mina opens to you, practically jumping at you before placing her hands at your shoulder to rotate your body; jaw dropping at the sight.
âY/n, shut the hell up. You look so fucking sexy itâs not even funny,â she chuckles, giving your ass a playful smack before tugging at the thin strap that held your dress up. The strings connected to a loose bateau neckline, showing a little cleavage, and looking down, you see the way your snug dress brings out your curves and hips. Wow- you really did look amazing, didnât you? âOkay, that should do it. Are we ready? The guys are probably waiting for us.â
Your head whips to your friend, who definitely did not tell you about boys being with you. âWhat? Boys- boys? Mina.â
She looks back at you with a shocked look, making it seem like you knew, and gave a blank, âwhat?â
âWhy didnât you tell me there would be boys? I only know like, three other people from your friend group, and Iâm not even sure they like me.â You complain, leaving the closet for the bathroom to touch up on your makeup before hearing your other bestie chime in.
âDonât worry, y/n! I like having you around very much, and Iâm sure the others will, too!â Momo says, finishing her mascara.Â
âYeah, and youâre fun to duet and play with,â Kyouka acknowledges while painting her nails.
âSee?â Mina remarks. âThey love you. Eiji has already told the others, and none of them have anything bad to say!â
âYet.â
âKyo!âÂ
âKidding~â she corrects.
âY/n, youâll be fine. Donât worry about it, theyâll love you. Just...I donât know, be yourself!â
âThanks, Mina, that actually helps a lot,â you smile sarcastically before turning your smile flat. âIâll be sure to do that once I get over the fact that Iâve never hung out with your friends before.âÂ
âOh my God, y/n. Stop stressing. Youâll be fine.â Mina assures. âAnd maybe youâll find a little special someone~â she vocalizes and points to the ring finger of your right hand.Â
Oh. Right. You thought, looking down at your hand. The red string tied to your finger that connected you to the person the universe wants you to spend the rest of your life with. The string that leads you to the person youâve always wanted, needed. Your soulmate. You had always wanted that person to come in your life, to sweep you off your feet and be with you for the rest of your days, but it was hard to believe in all that when your string was cut. Your string connected you to your soulmate, so why was yours cut? Maybe it just wasnât meant to be for you.
âY/n? Y/n.â You blink up to Minaâs fingers snapping at you.
âHuh? Oh, sorry,â you smile, âI just spaced out.â
âClassic y/n.â
âKyo.â Mina glares at Kyouka.
âWhat? Iâm just sayinâ.â
âOkay, are we all done here?â You ask while looking around at Momo, Kyouka and Mina; checking the belongings around them and seeing their small handbags.
âYup!âÂ
âMhm.â
âFinally! Okay, letâs go bitches.â Mina exclaims as Kyouka shakes her head then drags herself up, leaning her head back, an annoyed expression painted on her face.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âBro, come on! Just have one- ONE- drink. Please?â Kaminari pouts, handing Sero a small glass of whiskey, the ice clinking within the glass.
âI donât know man. You guys are probably gonna get hammered tonight, and Katsuki refuses to be the DD again,â Sero shrugs back, leaning on the counter of the bar.
âYouâre damn right I ainât the DD tonight. I havenât had a good drink in a minute, and you guys are annoying as it is, so maybe a couple might make it easier to put up with you.â Bakugou groans, downing his drink, walking up to the bartender to order another one.
âHey, where are the girls? Are they still coming?â Kirishima asks curiously.
âUh,â Kaminari pulls his phone out, checking his messages, âthey are on their way.â
âWhy do they take so goddamn long? Itâs annoying.â Bakugou calls out, waiting for his drink impatiently.
âBecause they are ladies, Katsuki. They need time to get ready and stuff. You know this,â Kirishima whines, as if he had told him this multiple times.
âI know itâs stupid,â he emphasizes. He gets his drink and continues to sit at the bar, irritated.
Kirishima makes his way over to Sero, who sips his water through the black straw poking out of the glass. He looks bored, but not as if he didnât want to be there. He always liked hanging out with his friends; the more the merrier. So taking this invitation to hang out with his guy and girl friends was a must. He needed a break from all of the stress school put on him. College was a lot harder than he thought it was going to be. This was a perfect way to distract himself even for a little while and drinking water. His friends would be entertaining enough anyways.Â
âHey, Hanta, you excited for the girls to get here?â Seroâs head whips up, breaking his thoughts. Sitting up straight, he leans back with an elbow on the back of the couch. Kirishima smiles giggly, taking a seat next to him.
âOh, ya,â he says, as if it was obvious, âexcited to see how they act when they black out,â he jokes. The girls were always a handful when drunk, thankfully some had their boyfriends to take care of them, but the boyfriends were always a little drunk, too.
âHa ha, yeah, always super fun,â Kirishima replies sarcastically, knowing exactly what Sero is thinking. âWhat about you, Shoubro?â
Todoroki was sitting at the end of the table awkwardly, waiting for more company. He looked lonely, but patient. He looked up at his nickname Kirishima gave him tiredly. âHmm?â
âExcited for the girls to get here?âÂ
âI guess. They will make the night more entertaining.â See, he knows, too. The girls were known for making the night more interesting. Whether it was karaoke, body shots, dancing, or even fighting with douchebags that tried to dance with them. The night always ended on a good note either way, so whoever was staying sober sure had a sight to see.
âOh, here come the girls,â Kaminari chimes in, putting his phone in his back pocket before turning around for the door. Three girls walk in: Mina, Kyouka, and Momo. Wait- where were you? Didnât Mina say something about bringing a friend?
âHey, boys,â Mina greets, âhow are we this fine evening?â She says smoothly, strutting her way to the bar. âFour vodkas, please.â
âYou havinâ all of those? Momo and Kyo donât usually have vodka.â Kaminari laughs, a jokingly confused question.
âOh, y/n is gonna be here in a sec, and she likes vodka. A lot. So half of these are for her.â Mina smiles as she carefully grabs the shots and cautiously carries them to the table where Momo, Todoroki, Sero, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Kyouka reside. She sets them down, keeping a close eye not to spill, and starts walking over to your figure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You head into the club, surprised the music isnât louder, while avoiding the other people around the area. You knew at places like this it got a little crowded and hectic, so you just wanted to find Mina before anything else. With your hands behind your back holding your tiny purse, you look around and see Mina walking over to you, a bright smile plastered on her face as giggles and grabs your hand, dragging you to the table where everyone (besides irritated Bakugou) resides.Â
âKatsuki get your ass over here right now!â Mina shouts from across the club, catching Bakugouâs attention. She gives him a stern look, then smiles softly when he grumbles and pushes himself off his chair, slowly walking over there, drink in hand. He plops down next to Kirishima lazily before staring at the ground. âGood. Anyway,â she inhales, clearly excited. You stand there awkwardly, wondering why it has suddenly got so hot. Something in the air was different. You didnât know what it was, but it was making you nervous. âY/n, the boys,â she points at each boy, introducing them, âTodoroki, Sero, Kaminari, Kirishima, and Bakugou.â You nod in acknowledgement, getting to know their faces to hopefully not forget later. One face caught your breath, though. Literally. Your breath hitched as you looked at him. Sero, you were pretty sure his name was. He was- beautiful. His raven black hair, his smile, his eyes, his everything- was gorgeous.Â
What the hell was this?
You stand there, frozen, staring at his handsome face and body, practically drooling. You were interrupted by Mina yapping at them to shake your hand. Each one of them sat up straight and nodded to you, said how nice it was to meet you. Then you shook hands with Sero.
No. No way.
Right as you switch your hands for him, raising your left hand, he raises his. The red on his finger caught your eye, making you stop in your tracks. Again. He also comes to a halt, both your eyes wide in shock and surprise as you gaze at each otherâs string.
This wasnât real. You were the only one you knew in your entire life who had this. You had looked it up several times for a sliver of hope, but nothing showed. In fact, everything you had searched for came up the opposite. Because of the stories and the legends and the research, you were convinced it wasnât true. You were convinced that it wasnât going to happen to you. Convinced that you were going to live your life alone. Was this man really the one for you? Was this man really the one to share your soul with? You couldn't believe it. You just couldnât.
âAhem,â Mina purposely coughs, trying to dissipate the awkwardness everyone else has to endure as you and Sero share the weirdest and yet most thrilling moment youâve had in your life. Your heart was beating so fast, you were nervous, but excited. You were surprised, but happy and sad, a little disappointed and mad, though you felt awakened at these new feelings. They felt stronger than anything youâve ever felt before, and you could tell he could feel them, too. Mina coughs again, snatching your attention. She smiles and widens her eyes while pointing her head at the other men, who are tiredly awaiting your hand. Once you suddenly realize youâve been focusing on Sero for the past 45 seconds, you breathe out an âohâ and move on to Kirishima.Â
You never stopped thinking about him, though. Throughout the entire night, after every shot you took, every song on the dance floor, Sero was still in your mind. And because of this, you took more shots. And you danced some more. You were taking a body shot off of Minaâs stomach when you notice eyes boring into yours. Swallowing the stinging alcohol you turn over to him, not finishing with the lime, almost stumbling. You want to tell him to stop looking at you, to mind his own business, but you canât separate your words, slurring an incoherent sentence.Â
âOh? Baby girl needs some help? I can help you,â the strange man, teases, laughing as he grabs your waist, grazing the side of your torso up and down, trying to drag you to the back of the club. âLet me help you, honey.â He starts guiding you to the back, using his fingers to touch the soft skin on your shoulders, your forearms, making their way down to your hips, and finally up to-
âHey, y/n, you okay?â The man gets interrupted by your hero, his voice giving you butterflies. âSorry, man. Sheâs drunk. You really shouldnât be messinâ with girls like this,â he shrugs before grabbing you by your waist and putting your arm around his shoulder, âor any girls, for that matter.â You lean on his shoulder, barely keeping up with the situation. You feel so light on your feet, but so heavy at the same time. He helps you to the tables you originally sat at before going a little more overboard than you wouldâve liked. You moan, a little overwhelmed by the noise, but once he sets you in a comfortable spot on the bench, you lean your head back, satisfied with the cold air on your face. He quickly hands you his glass of water, placing the straw in your mouth and nodding his head, whispering to take a drink. You comply, sipping his water before he takes it out and puts the cup on the tabletop for a brief moment.
Dazed, you look around the room. Your vision is blurry, but you can clearly see Momo and Todoroki making out on the other side of the booth. At least sheâs having fun. Meanwhile you get groped by an old man in a corner and probably wonât remember it the next day. Seroâs gone, you think. He was, but only a couple feet away from you. You turn your head from Momo on top of Todorokiâs lap, to Jirou leading Kaminari out of the building, then to Mina taking more shots with Kirishima, and Bakugou acting annoyed but is actually having fun. They all looked like they were having a great time. You look to your left once more and smile to yourself once you see him walking back over. He sits next to you and grabs the cup again, pushing it towards you to take a sip. And you do.Â
The next half hour was you and him in the bathroom while you throw your guts up, the nasty alcohol leaving your stomach while he holds your hair up and rubs your back. You cough everything back up, regretting taking a single drink in the first place. You feel his hands smooth over your upper back, and his grip on your hair, tightening in a circle at the back of your head. You lift your head up, turning away in embarrassment.
He smiles in return, taking his hand off your back to grab something to wipe your mouth with. âDonât worry, itâs not the first time Iâve done this. Come here,â he says softly, almost like a whisper. You turn your head towards him, still not looking at his face, but at his arm. His very attractive arms. He raises his left hand to wipe a cloth at your mouth, you catching the bright red string in sight. He notices this, and slows his motions. âYou see it, right? My string.â
You only nod in response, looking away with a blush.
âI can see it, too. Yours, I mean.â You werenât that surprised, considering what happened earlier that night when you first met him. The feeling was the same as it was before, but more intense. It was like sparks every time he touched you, like fireworks, like electricity. You could tell he felt it as well when he pulled back a little, hesitant to touch you. You knew he felt it when he pulled you away from that strange guy. Guess you were too drunk to notice.
Once he finishes up, he tells you heâs done then helps you up to get ready to leave. You were both tired of this place. Walking back out to the main room, the only people to be seen from Minaâs friend group was herself, Bakugou, and Kirishima. You could only guess where everyone else went. You two continue making your way down, asking if everyone else will be alright, or if they needed a ride. Mina responded that theyâll take a cab home, and that theyâll be okay. Thankfully Bakugou looked sober enough to understand what was going on.
âYeah, yeah, I got it. Whatever. Fuckinâ leave already.â
Sero returns with a smile, silently thanking him as he leads you to the exit. The cool air felt wonderful against your face, the breeze making you feel a lot better. You groan as your head starts to pound. Sero leads you to his car, opening the door for you and helping you in, shutting the door.Â
âHey, whatâs your address?â
You look up tiredly, ready to fall asleep right then and there. âOh, uh, building 474 on 32nd.â
He only hums in response, checking his mirrors and backing out, heading for your apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âHey, uh, thank you, Sero. I really appreciate it. I know this is not how you wanted to spend your night, even if you were sober.â You apologize, genuinely disappointed in yourself for letting yourself drink that hard.
âDonât worry about it. It was fun watching you guys for most of the night, though,â he laughs.
âOh I bet. Me and Mina got a little crazy.â
âA little?â
âShush, I know,â you chuckle, trying not to embarrass yourself further. âUm, do you want my number? Or something? Itâs just, your Minaâs friend,â We both have red cut strings, âand I want to make up for being such a slob at the party,â I want to figure out why I can see your string. He gladly agrees, putting his number in your phone. âAlso,â you interrupt his movements, causing him to look up, âI remember that weird guy from earlier, where did he go? I didnât see him for the rest of the night.â
He smiles cunningly, a smile that cocks the sides of your mouth up subconsciously. âHe was getting on my nerves, so I kicked him out of the club.â
You tilt your head in confusion. âHow?â
âI have my ways,â he says slyly, implying exactly what youâre thinking. You smile in understanding, thanking him for the help.Â
You unlock your door and wave goodbye to him, sad that he had to leave, but grateful that he didnât have to put up with you anymore. You lift your left hand in curiosity. Looking at it, you can see every thread on the piece of yarn. Every knot. Although you couldnât take it off, it looked as if you could. It was weird, knowing the fact that everyone elseâs string connected them to their soulmates, while your short piece of combined thread just drooped towards the ground. You never expected to find another person like you. Another person with a lost fate. Huh.
Part 2?? Let me know!!

rewatching tgm for the umpteenth time: wifi's not working edition 1/?
ngl i've Never, In My LIFE, done any singing or acting outside of puppet shows when i was in like the 3rd grade but every time i watch TGM i'm more and more like "GOD i wanna be cast as Barkilphedro" and i don't even know why? like why would i want to be the greasy clown nasty? He has No Rights? I Don't Like Him Or Sympathize With Him At All? And Yet???? It must be a calling.
there's like. two barrels on the stage.
uggggggh i love Ensemble!Maskell and Ensemble!Obianyo they're both so pretty
FEEL SO LOW YOUR PULSE NEEDS CHECKING
ngl Barkilphedro has No Rights and he gets No Sympathy from me but i do feel sorry for him when he talks about his mother. also sucks for him that he wasted so much time hoping his loyalty to Clarence would pay off, only to get nothing but mockery in return. also also as 'comical' as the Erotic Breakfast Dance scene is played it's still...really gross and Not Okay. This dude's 100% culpable for his actions and he made his own choices and is absolutely slimy but it's like those bits in LotR when they talk about Bilbo pitying Gollum. idk i just kinda hate that ol' Barky let himself be twisted into such a wretched creature. He crossed the No Rights line the night he decided to carve up a kid's face tho and just kept right on going.
ensemble!maskell is so cute send help
it's the eye makeup and the lighting it's just. a really good look
ms. obianyo pls
just noticed Bark's little pose on "obsessed with the pursuit of beauty"
okay so i've seen some comments around about Clarence's "How do you keep your pecker up" remark and just thought i'd- dude's fingernails. wow they're so shiny. ahem -mention here that i've looked into this expression before and it's actually a term that i guess is mainly used in England or something and it's like nose = beak = 'pecker' as in birds which âpeckâ things with their beaks. It's basically the same as "keep your chin up". Snufkin says it to Moomin. I mean with Clarence i wouldn't put it past him to mean it another way but also given where the show is set it makes sense he would use such a term.
ngl i want to Know about Angelica tho like. why is she Brutalized. why did Clarence send her awaey. i actually want to know about the whole family. I feel like it's a three separate moms situation but even if it's only two separate moms Where Are The Moms. did Clarence send Them awaey too? Did one or more of them Die? Were they Killed? oh god what if it's like in Light Princess and he actually Had (one of/)Them Executed. I think it's interesting that Clarence Lorded Dirry-Moir. we don't get to know about how he treated Josiana, but none of his kids even turn up to his funeral and the only one who talks about him at all only does so to denounce him.
also thinking about the differences yet similarities between the Green Box Family and the Royal Family but i can't articulate worth anything rn so i'll just *pins for later*
love Ensemble!Brisson
also ngl even if the whole Royal Introduction/Lords on Palace Hill bit isn't 100% literal it still paints a pretty clear picture of the kind of toxic and vapid society that's encouraged under Clarence's reign.
does 'bonnie prince' mean anything specific or
ugh i love Osric
wait i just noticed the stripies on dirry--moir's shirt. nice. i'd wear that.
not as much as i'd wear the heck out of Osric's coat though. actually his whole outfit. add Osric/Lord Trelaw to Roles I Wanna Be Cast For In The Timeline Where I Sing And Act
the face Dirry-Moir makes while Osric's getting started introducing the fair tho. he looks like a kid trying to fit in with a cool new friend group.
the way Mr Maskell sings "we have a huge collection of the crippled and the dabbed" tho it sounds like he's got a cold
i'm gonna need somebody to meet me irl just to do that lil dance that Dirry-Moir and Osric do after "If you've got the money/I've got the misery" it looks fun!
au where Mr. Maskell stays on stage through the end of Laughter is the Beast Medicine. i need to See him do the choreo for this part.
had a real cursed idea right here but no it's Too cursed
the look on Osric's face when Bark grabs his bad arm tho
this whole "imagine laughing without any cruelty at all" is such a weird bit tbh
have i already said that i love the whole look of the "the poor soul who stands before you" part like idk if it's the pose or what but Gwyn Looks Really Good In This Scene
okay but the way puppet!Gwyn holds out his hand toward his mom and then she goes to- hangon i canât describe lemme see if separate post separate post
okay
ngl im real curious as to whether this bit on the pirate ship (idk why iâve always defaulted to âpiratesâ for these cats) actually happened or if Ursus fully made it up like we really Donât get to Know how much of this has any basis in what really happened that night do we u-u
kay but the fact that Deaâs momâs lying there with her eyes open and the way they emphasize her frozen-ness by having her arm stay up like. wow.
wait a minute is that Born Broken playing for lil baby Dea? i think it is.
yeah sing it hazlit
interesting how Ursus has little!Gwyn sing âthey put blood in my nightmaresâ but also vow to find the man who cut him. which i mean singular âtheyâ is obviously a thing but as i doubt the intention was for Gwyn to have decided that whoever cut him must be a they/them man i just think itâs interesting that even the wording in the puppet show points to the fact that there was Someone Else There, even if it does then swerve back to a single perpetrator. But also itâs still accurate because while it was only one man who cut Gwynâs face, it was both Barkilphedro and Ursus who contributed to putting blood in his nightmares.
honest question why is Mr. Maskellâs voice Like That like who gave him the right
love how puppet!Gwyn and puppeteer!Gwyn and later real!Gwyn all do that same little motion with their head on the word âdisgraceâ
OH HEY weâre at the part where Lon Don picks up NICE
add Mojo Puppeteer to my list of dream roles
wait ohmygod thereâs this thing kind of hanging off the cart and i was squinting at it like âwhat is thatâ and then the cart turned around and i realize thatâs the body that goes to the head-on-a-shelf ursus what the hell
wait so Dirry-Moir genuinely thinks Dea went blind from looking at Gwynâs face but he also wants to see it? although granted Ursus said she went blind from âgazing too longâ so maybe Dirry-Moir assumes heâll be safe if itâs only a quick look. still. Concept: Post-Show Dirry-Moir having this tendency to Not Look At Gwyn very much until eventually either he explains why and somebody has to Tell Him, or maybe at some point heâs like âwait a minute. that was made up wasnât itâ and everyone has a bit of a laff
ngl i love the inside of the cart and how thereâs like four, maybe five puppets, counting Beauty and Beast, and also some of the shadow puppets...all kinds of vials and bottles and what looks like painting supplies...what looks suspiciously like crimson lethe on the stove...looks like some cabinets and extra storage up very top. im curious about the layout since we only get to see one part of the cart at a time.
wait whyâs the song called stars in the sky when does he say th- why isnât it called âNew Worldâ or âdreamsâ or something why stars in the sky he doesnât even say- does he say it in the reprise??? *skips ahead* NO?
does the Disney Chorus Say It??
THEY DONâT
WHY IS THE SONG CALLED STARS IN THE SKY? WHY HAVE I BEEN UNQUESTIONINGLY CALLING IT STARS IN THE- WHEN ARE STARS MENTIONED??
IS THE TITLE A REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT URSUS IS ONE OF THE ONES WHO ASSISTED IN STRIPPING STARS FROM THE SKY? IDK BOSS IT FEELS KINDA WEAK TO ME
ugh i love ms obianyo
âto help them forget themselvesâ yeah thatâs what you want him to do huh Ursus
ânot now, Grinpayneââs a p curious line to include and only the fact that Gwynâs still using his puppet!Gwyn voice while complaining is keeping me from being like âlol Gwynâs lil rant was actually him breaking character and then Ursus just went with it like it was part of the show lol lolâ
cutting here for length uwu Dea finishes the word âskiesâ at exactly 30 minutes in which is nice bc i didnât even have to interrupt her mid-word in order to pause for post-length.

the fuck is a rising?
ok so obviously many people have THOTS on rising signs, but it confuses me how most people seem to be in agreement with a theory that seems to be correct only like 50% of the time. after talking to a lot of people about astrology and being like freakishly into it for a year, Iâve determined that a LOT a LOT of people donât tend to think that their rising sign is how they come off, and/or that their friends will say that wasnât their first impression of them. I WHOLE FUCKING HEARTEDLY disagree with the whole rising is peopleâs first impression of you/ it determines your hair color/eye color (which btw the physical appearance descriptions of the rising signs only work in hella white countries, but saying that all Leo risings have light colored eyes starts sounding a little sketch once you remember that whole ass continents like idk Africa and Asia exist where genes for non brown eyes are hella rare).
For me, your rising sign was the sign on the horizon when you were born, the first sign you experienced, the one that will color your life. I interpret it thusly: since the first house determines your sense of self, and since your rising is determined/ forms when you are born and pretty much unable to do anything except look cute and drool, your rising sign is the traits that your family, specifically your parents and siblings ingrained in you. It may be a sign hyper present in your parents charts (like me), it may have colored your childhood (like my friend), although that can be getting a lil in the realm of your ic (which I also have a lightly different interpretation of), but either way, itâs something that you probably will not see very clearly in yourself bc itâs hard to look at yourself and be like yep thatâs where my family influenced me. Itâs going to be something that your close friends will see, and it will NOT usually be first impressions (for that I would go to your MC or dominant sign/energy). I also find that your rising behaves less like the stupid ass list of traits that people might look at for a sun sign and more like an energy that is present in your life. For example, for Sagittarius risings, itâs not usually going to mean your family pushed you to be a reckless mofo, it might mean that your parents pushed higher education, one of your parents was very philosophical, your family made great sacrifices (maybe saving up to move school districts or something) for the purpose of your education. I also find that the planet that your rising is tied to tends to be a very important theme throughout your life, and I actually prefer to look at this as opposed to your MC in terms of career (unless in case of like oppositions or salty aspects). Youâll find that many beauty youtubers (and prolly other youtubers, I just watch all the makeup hos) and actors and actresses have leo RISINGS more so than Leo moons or other Leo placements, and that bc of that being on their horizon, Leo, and even more than Leo, the sun, their mofo EGO has become an important theme throughout their lives. The ways that people find success or weird opportunities will seek them out will often have weird connections to the energy of their rising sign or that planet, although thatâs just based off of my observations.
I also find that in the same your rising sign will be traits that your parents/family will emphasize and encourage, your twelfth house will be traits that either your family will directly discourage and/or your childhood will make you find repulsive. for example, i have a Virgo rising, and my family always encouraged me to do my work before watching tv, they would take away my phone or ground me if my grades werenât mofo PERFECT, they lost their minds whenever they discovered I was drinking, sexually active, wanted tattoos, being immodest etc etc. They also specifically discouraged my leonian tendencies to talk about myself, be arrogant, lazy, prioritize fun over work, etc. now I thought this was just normal parenty behaviors until I noticed how differently my friends parents behaved, and even how differently my parents treated siblings. My brother, who has a Sagittarius rising, was the only one of us sent to private school, and a fancy ass CATHOLIC private school at that bc he was super religious and my parents wanted to encourage him to become a priest. My sister, who has a Taurus descendent was consistently being scolded for her snacking tendencies and love of candy and lazing about. My younger sister, who has a libra rising has been taught to wear sunscreen from a young age (by meeee) and is allowed to shop for her own clothes, unlike the rest of us, who were given hand me downs or pretty much just bought things from kohlâs.
bc risings come from your family, they are not necessarily traits you accept in yourself. if you choose not to embrace your rising or have salty aspects between it and the rest of your chart, it is obviously still important to your childhood and development and who you are as a persona, BUT it may not be immediately apparent and manifest more as themes in your life than first impressions or traits you actively are out here workin and displayin. Iâm hella grateful for my Virgo rising bc it is only through my parentsâ hard work that I developed some of these responsible, dope ass lil virg traits you can find⊠nowhere? else in my chart. But bc thereâs so lil earth and no other virg in my chart, people are defs not looking at my neon pants wearing ass and going YUP DAS A VIRGO. I see it manifest in other ways, like people telling me that Iâm âmuch more responsible than they thought I wasâ or shit like that.
hope yâall enjoyed this post, lmk if u wanna see me do all the rising signs, or go over general mc ic shit next, and as always pls drop a like or reblog if u related or liked this post đ and feel free to drop any asks if u got any questions đ„

Henlo!! I love your blog so much đ it gives me life and makes me happy when I have a bad day. I was wondering if you had any headcanons about Malecâs first time or something where Magnus is a nervous wreck cause he has to tell Alec that heâs trans? Thank you and sorry for the bother đâ„ïž
yâall it is a CRIME how long this has been in my inbox, im really sorry and ur not bothering me at ALL i just love this ask and wanted to do it JUSTICE đ
also im!!! so flattered!!! aaaaaAAAA im glad my blog can cheer u up :)Â
okokok so trans magnus + malecâs first time + magnus being nervous about coming out lghkjgfh
ok i have no fucking idea why but iâm making this twi malec. iâm just. in the mood for twi malec i guess. fuck it amiright
magnus is just. he has a lot of secrets. thereâs a reason he hasnât gotten close to anyone in a long time, thereâs a reason he only talks to two or three people who actually know him, thereâs a reason he hasnât been how he used to be--out and about, flashy and showing off and wearing armor made of glittering beauty and colorful silks and bold makeup, instead of comfortable cardigans and twitching hands and quiet.Â
speaking of which: def headcanon twi magnus wasnât always the way he is in that episode. he was a lot like canon magnus once upon a time, charismatic (well, heâs still charismatic, but like, in that bold flashy way, you know?) and open (closed off, but with the illusion of having all his cards on the table) and bold
anyway. thereâs a reason. lots of reasons. mostly all the secrets he hides.
the fact that he has magic, that heâs immortal, a dusty relic of a time long gone, of an age past, clinging on past his due date. he feels like he doesnât belong in the modern world, like he should have died with the shadow world, like he should have been sealed out with all the other demons.
the fact that he is a prince king of hell, son and slayer of the greater demon asmodeous himself. even tho heâs sealed it all away, he has a huge amount of power, both from just. originally being the son of such a powerful demon, a fallen angel, and also from managing to kill one.
i donât think it fits with canon twi lore but i donât care, iâm saying twi magnus was involved in the sealing of the realm, and he managed to kill asmodeous and basically absorb his power, so a) he actually did this huge incredible feat that changed the whole world, whether on purpose or not iâm not sure yet (it has something to do with asmodeous, but iâm not seeing the whole picture yet) and b) heâs actually. more powerful than canon magnus. itâs partially why he sealed away his magic for so long, he was afraid of what that power could do.Â
honestly i dont have this super well thought out but i like the potential
but anyway! barely related to this! letâs get back on topic!
and. the fact that heâs trans. a decidedly more mundane secret, but still one he keeps close to his chest. heâs lived through a lot of eras with bad very transphobic times? like heâs lived through places/times with very accepting atmopshere, but heâs also lived in like, victorian england, you know? and canon magnus had a chance to be more out of his shell and open in the modern world but this magnus has completely closed himself off. he mostly talks to people other than his close friends to give them a tarot reading. heâs not like, totally cut off, i canât imagine him like. not helping people. you know. idek. but the point is heâs more isolated. canon magnus was closed off in a lot of ways, but still surrounded by people. he had a job to do, people to protect, and parties to attend. not to mention going to pandemonium and stuff. twi magnus isnât really doing that. man i really went on a tangent here but the point is i feel like that would contribute to how he feels about being trans. feeling isolated, having less friends to be open with and to help him you know? in my experience itâs a lot harder to feel like. valid? without that sense of community. even with a few close friends, itâs hard. if youâre âpassingâ, which magnus is, it feels like a secret.Â
the point is! i am getting so off track! magnus has got layers and layers and layers protecting him, both literal and metaphorical (he doesnât wear the more flashy and revealing clothing canon magnus occasionally favors, preferring thick and comfortable sweaters and cardigans and stuff like that. bonus headcanon: whatever happened that ended in asmodeous dead and the walls of the world sealed, it left magnus with more scars. not to mention top surgery scars he may have, or even just hiding a binder, or using thick layers to disguise small tiddies since binders are great but you canât bind all the time or every day for centuries and still be like, healthy. anYWAY)Â
and when he starts dating alec despite that little cautious voice in his head insisting he needs to not get attached, alec begins to just. effortlessly peel those layers away
heâs so blunt and honest, unlike people who have lied to and manipulated magnus in the past (CAMILLE, anyone? i feel like sheâd still be a thing in the twiverse. also asmodeous, albeit in a different way) and heâs gentle and loud and bold and heâs funny and sweet and he just. fucking cares about magnus.
when he finds about magnusâs magic heâs like âoh my god thatâs so coolâ he just fucking accepts him so easily!!!Â
and even when magnus ends up tearfully confessing he may or may not be a literal king of hell (or, one of the hell dimensions) alecâs like âdamn, iâm dating royalty?â and maybe makes a joke about not everyone getting to make a king scream with pleasure and magnus is just so relieved???
but thatâs later
anyway
they havenât had sex yet and magnus is just like. he feels like inevitably this relationship is gonna fall apart. he has too many secrets, too many hidden parts of himself that if he ever shed light on, alec wouldnât see him the same way
and as much as he wants alec to fuck him, as much as he wants to be in bed with alec and cuddle with him and have sex with him and show him everything, he feels like he canât, it would be the beginning of the end
he keeps pulling back just as alec begins to initiate, and alec never pushes but wonders if heâs doing something wrong, or if maybe magnus is asexual, or just doesnât want to have sex for other reasons, and eventually he broaches the topic with magnus and magnus is so surprised alec noticed something is wrong (he expected alec might confront him over not âputting outâ but alec doesnât seem to care about the sex--he makes sure to emphasize while he is attracted to magnus and would lvoe to have sex with him if thatâs what magnus wants, itâs by no means a requirement--but more about. magnus. and communicating with him.) that he just blurts out iâm trans.Â
and alec kinda blinks at him. his beautiful, wonderful, nervous and scared boyfriend. and he ends up blurting out oh thank god. because he would be more than okay with magnus not wanting to have sex--heâs super gorgeous and absolutely smoking hot, but alec doesnât ever like, want to have sex with him unless magnus wants to. obviously. but he was honestly worried it wasnât magnus but him, that heâd done something wrong or wasnât attractive or something, and honestly worrying about something being wrong with him was not a feeling he was used to. then he realizes how bad that just sounded, and heâs like, aaaaaaaAAAA WAIT and ends up panickedly rambling like i mean sorry i just was kind of worried i was doing something wrong but like, i love you so much and you being trans changes nothing about that, and if you never want to have sex thatâs totally okay and i love you, but if youâre worried about me still being attracted to you thatâs not a problem, but-- and magnus is like y-youâre not?? but youâre gay! and iâm-- and you know that feeling of like. internalized [insert form of bigotry towards yourself, in this case transphobia]. where you think something bad about yourself. and if you think about it youâre like âno thatâs transphobic i would never think that about anyone elseâ and your brain is just like âyeah itâs true about you thoâ thatâs this. magnus is like. iâm not a real man, how could you be attracted to me? and alec (not to be all Cis Savior, but look, magnus deserves a loving supportive boyfriend who comforts him and shit, okay! i am PROJECTING) is like yeah iâm gay and youâre a gorgeous, beautiful, stunning man?Â
and they end up talking it out and get it sorted that yes, magnus does want to have sex, but it would be okay if one of them didnât want to, magnus being trans does not make alec unattracted to him, itâs okay, theyâre okay, because malec are Kings of Communication,
ANYWAY
ACTUAL FIRST TIME
probably not the same day, that day they cuddle and talkÂ
but like later
>:)
alec is just so gentle and reverent yâall. like. them big hands on magnusâs body, all warm and gentle and magnus is like oh fuck this is nice
they do have to kind of communicate boundaries--alecâs asks if thereâs anywhere magnus doesnât want to be touched because dysphoria (or any other reason) and vice versa, magnus trying to be like âyou know if you only want to fuck my ass or have me wear a strap-on or anything like that itâs fine, i understand youâre not necessarily attracted to those parts of meâ and alecâs like âweâve established that you would enjoy me eating you out and i WANT TO EAT YOU OUTâÂ
their first time probably is pretty simple, âvanillaâ, idk why but im thinking they just exchange oral sex tbh like magnus blows him and then alec eats him outÂ
also magnus cums pretty fast bc he hasnât been touched like this in a long time and heâs very embarrassed about it but alec is like âdamn thatâs hot can i try to make you cum a few more timesâÂ
ok but imagine their first time itâs just alec holding him down and eating him out until he sobs and squirts? yes
anyway tho they have like, lots of âotherâ first times too like. first time alec fucks his pussy. first time alec fucks his ass. etc.Â
first time alec slides that Thick Dick balls deep into magnusâs cunt heâs for sure immediately on the edge of orgasming heâs so full and it feels so good--
and alecâs like holy SHIT bc heâs warm and wet and tight and he clenches every time alec praises him or dirty talks him and it feels amazing
first time alec fucks his ass is also very fun for both of them ;)Â
itâs just a good time all around folks communication and magnus getting pounded the way he deserves :â)Â
not to mention when they first start getting into kinksÂ
alec, carefully broaching the topic of bondage: how would you feel... about handcuffs?
magnus, barely looking up: mm, padded or not? and what kind of padding? the normal kind hurt my wrists after too long and not really in a nice way, so i like padded. furry can get a little itchy sometimes but they look real nice. also, are we talking above my head to the bedpost, and if so, am i on my stomach or back? because stomach is a little uncomfortable. or like, behind my back? especially bent over, mm. good view for you ;)Â
then he like looks up and realized heâs said all of this very casually and alecâs looking at him with 1. shock and 2. lustÂ
like. âi wasnât expecting this, but i really should have, and now i want to bend you over and tie you up and fuck you hardâÂ
and he blushes just a lil bit like o shit i just said all that and alecâs like âpadded it is. behind your back or above your head... hm... both have potential, but maybe the latter? i love you on your back under me, i can see so much of your beautiful body and all of your gorgeous face :)âÂ
and like TOYSÂ
aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA ANYWAY

Erin and Ania are like holy fuck I canât even. But for real Neil sees Abby as a mother figure in the book so like is it the same for Ania? Andrew too? Idek I just need to know their relationships with everyone
Itâs time I map out their relationships anyways lol so thanks, love!
Letâs start with the lovely AniaÂ
Dan, Allison, and Ania are roommates. Itâs tough after Sethâs death bc Ania has to face her all the time. Erin tells Allison her theory too so Allison is avoiding Ania so :////
Dan is essentially what Matt was to Neil. She sees Ania and her first thought is âbabyâ. She adopts her so fast. Every morning before class, sheâll pinch Aniaâs cheeks and kiss her fingers, chef-style Idk man. Itâs just something my mom does to me ok. Let me be soft.Â
Renee rooms with Erin so Ania isnât comfortable with her. Anyone that can spend the night in a room with that girl has to be hardcore.Â
Allison also gives Ania a lot of shit about her wardrobe. At some point it starts to get to her so when the monsters head to the mall, Erin catches Ania drifting towards the girlâs section on her own. Sheâs high so she follows her around, prodding her about it. When Ania tells her, thereâs this moment where Erinâs drug haze parts for a second. Ania could have sworn that she saw anger flashing in Erinâs eyes for half a second. She shrugs it off until Allison shows up at the dorms with a bruise on her jaw. Erin knows Ania hides her body bc scars and bc she doesnât like men staring at her. She refuses to let Allison shame Ania into doing something she doesnât want to. In general, Allison and Ania have a rocky relationship because Erin keeps interfering. After Christmas, the two of them end up getting along a lot better bc they bond while Allison covers Aniaâs bruises with makeup. Also after Christmas, Ania and Renee trade dorms so she and Allison arenât in constant contact. Part of their friction was due to the amount of time they spent together. A lot of things have happened to Allison this year and the fact that she constantly has to see the source of a lot of her problems makes it hard for her to heal. Â
Iâve considered Fem!Nicky but I personally prefer Gay/Lesbian solidarity between him and Erin a lot better so yeah (However if you want me to run a few Fem!Nicky hcs, hmu and Iâll do it. She wonât be a part of the fem!verse but it would be fun). Heâs exactly the way he is in canon. However, he is constantly trying to set Ania and Erin up and Erin? Doesnât? Stop? Him? Sheâs so desperately in love with Ania that if Nicky wingmanning for her is what it takes to win her over, then sheâll take it. She also has a really dirty sense of humor. The jokes he makes fuel her late-night fantasies.Â
Aaron is disgusted with Nicky and, more importantly, himself. Ania is incredibly beautiful and heâs incredibly straight. He doesnât like her bc heâs so gone for Katelyn. That doesnât make Ania any less pretty. He finds himself staring at her all the time but so does every other fox so he doesnât feel bad.Â
Katelyn thinks Ania is hot. Sheâs bi but leans heavily towards guys. It takes Aaron a long time to unlearn his homophobia but he manages it because Katelyn is bi and he couldnât possibly hate anything about her. Once Riko is gone and Ania is safe, she starts to develop feelings. I mean, she always had feelings but now she doesnât try to suppress them. She lets herself want to be friends with people. Katelyn happens to be at the top of her list. While the twins are with Bee at their sessions, Katelyn and Ania hang out. Sessions are only an hour/hour and a half long so the girls just grab a soda together or go window shopping in Reddin. I hc Katelyn as a genuinely sweet VSCO girl. Let me have this! Ania has a grunge/goth aesthetic because Erin buys her clothes for her but she thinks Katelynâs clothes are cute too. Erin wants to hate the thousands of scrunchies and anklets she finds strewn across the dorm but they make Ania so happy. Once on a double date, on Beeâs insistence, Katelyn catches sight of a bubblegum pink scrunchie in Erinâs hair. Itâs a stark contrast to her all-black outfit but itâs really cute. When Aaron goes to grab their drinks from the barista, Katelyn tells her so making sure to stay well out of Erinâs reach. Erin just grunts and turns to look out the window. The twins donât blush with their whole face. Instead, their ears turn red. With Erinâs hair pulled up and out of the way, Katelyn has no trouble seeing her burning red ears. Itâs progress!Â
Ania spends a lot more time out at Evermore as a kid than Neil did. As a result, she was really close to Kevin and Riko. She only knew Jean for like a month before she dipped. I got a request for Fem!Jean so youâll see Aniaâs relationship with Jeanie soon. Kevin sees her as a baby sister. He and Kayleigh were actually at the hospital when Ania was born. Thereâs a baby photo back at Kayleighâs old house of 3yr old Kevin carrying a newborn Ania. Heâs crying rivers in it. Thereâs an actual video of it as well. In it, Kay asks him why heâs crying. âSheâs sho shmall!â little Kevin sobs. âCan I keep her? Pleashe, mom. Iâll be nice to her and take care of her and Iâll tell her I love her all the time.â You can hear someone laughing in the background. The camera pans across the room to reveal Wymack sitting in a chair by the door, cackling
TANGENT BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WYMACK FOR A MINUTE! So Wymack and Kay are friends with some obvious benefits. He flips his shit when Kevin is born because what if thatâs his kid??? Kay is just like, I was with a lot of guys and brushes it off. Sheâs lying through her teeth. Wymack is the only man sheâs ever loved. Tetsuji is salty and I will go into this in another post but I think that Tetsuji really hated Kevin because he was Kayâs son but not his. I absolutely believe that Tetsuji was in love with Kayleigh Day and was pissed when she had a kid. Anyway, Wymack flies out to Ireland a lot to check up on Kay and Kevin because Kay is crazy. How could the inventor of exy not be? Itâs literally murder lacrosse. He goes out to make sure Kay isnât overworking herself and bc Kev has no father figure. Kev grows up knowing Wymack and absolutely adores him. When Kay dies, Wymack wants custody of Kevin. Kay knows who the Moriyamas are and recently she and Tetsuji have been fighting a lot. Sheâs scared that something is going to happen to her so she writes her will and emphasizes that she wants her son sent to Wymack if she dies. Her fight with Tetsuji comes to a head and the car âaccidentâ happens. Itâs not an accident. Tetsuji ordered her killed in a fit of rage. Heâs devastated when it actually happens. He loved her and now sheâs dead. Well, whoâs fault is that, ya dumb bish? He flies out for the funeral and so does Wymack. Tetsu finds the will first and is anger. He has it burned and has Nathan forge a new one where he gets custody of Kev. It breaks Wymackâs heart bc now he thinks Kay didnât want him around Kev. Kevin is five and heâs crying because his mom is dead and now he canât live with Wymack. He calls Wymack Dad and Wymack canât do anything about this. Instead, he just hugs little Kev close and tells him itâll be okay. Wymack tells Kev that Tetsu has a niece his age. Maybe Kev and Riko can be friends. Maybe theyâll even get married. Kevin says thatâs disgusting and Wymack laughs a hollow laugh. Anyway, thatâs how Kev gets shipped to Evermore. Tetsu doesnât allow Wymack near Kev bc he knows the truth. The reason why Wymack always has a sports channel on because he used to keep it on in case Kev ever showed up. He watched every one of Kevâs games and interviews and everything. Wymack doesnât get to be there to watch Kev grown up so he just watched from a distance. I'm not crying you are.Â
Wymack is a father figure to Ania and Erin. Heâs there when Ania is born bc he went to visit Kay and Kev who were in Baltimore to meet baby Nathania. Kay carts him out to the hospital to meet her too. Nathan Wesninski was not in the room when his daughter was born. He doesnât even meet her until sheâs six months old. Wymack is the first man Nathania meets and she doesnât even know. Mary didnât want to hand Nathania over to Wymack but she and Kay are friends and she knows that heâs her baby daddy. Wymack doesnât recognize Ania because he only knew her for a month when she was a newborn. Of course he doesnât recognize her. However, he thinks about her a lot. Sheâs actually the first baby heâs ever held. He didnât get to hold Kevin until he was two. Wymack treats Ania the same way he treats Neil but he puts in a bit of extra care bc he knows about Millport incident.Â
Abby is definitely as much of a mom figure as she was to Neil. However, after she shows her her scars, Ania gets a lot closer to her. She refuses to tell her things but when Erin gets sent to Easthaven, Ania has a hard time staying at the dorms. She spends all her time at the court bc she has to. She hides in the library bc itâs the one place she wouldnât see Erin anyways. She crashes at Abbyâs a few times because there are times she canât stand the thought of going back to the dorms without feeling the brush of Erinâs hand on the back of her neck.Â
Oh. Thatâs a thing. Every night after midnight practice n Kev has gone to his room, Ania says goodnight to Erin. Erin will trail her hand across the back of Aniaâs neck as she passes in response. It makes Ania shiver because her neck is as much of an erogenous zone as Erinâs is. Erin always watches it out of the corner of her eye bc God itâs the most amazing thing sheâs ever seen. It makes her feel. Ania doesnât really realize???? Sheâs so dumb. She knows it makes her feel good but she just canât for the life of her figure out why.Â
Itâs time I addressed the real psycho lesbian⊠While Erinâs is a facade, Riko is genuinely psychotic. Sheâs seven types of crazy. Actually, it skews a little more yandere but I will go into depth about it in the Fem!Jean fic. Rn, Iâll try to keep it short. Riko has her first crush when sheâs eight? Nine? She kisses her crush on the cheek when sheâs ten and Tetsuji⊠doesnât take it well to say the least. The bit about itâs easier to remain straight? Itâs the thing Kevin hears Riko say to herself every morning in front of the mirror. Regardless, Riko never gets over that first crush. Riko will never not miss Nathania Wesninski. When she finds out who Ania really is? She loses it. Itâs fate, she tells herself. She will have Ania or die trying. Christmas at Evermore is a thing so I mean, I guess she does have Ania :( But she wants Ania to love her. She tells Ania as much and Ania spits in her face. :)
Most of Erinâs relationships are the same except for the Matt and Renee thing I covered earlier. The only other one that changes is Kevin. I know I say this a lot, but she really thought Ania and Kev would be a thing. She says no to Kevin for everything bc sheâs petty. Kevin has always gotten everything that he wanted handed to him on a silver plate. Now heâs taking the one thing she really wants. If he gets Ania, he canât have anything else. Again, Iâll cover her relationship with Jean later.Â
Thanks again your ask <3
Edit: I'm really tired and have a quiz tomorrow but I forgot to talk about Cleo. I'll make a separate post about her so stay tuned for that!!!

HIIII! Saw your question for makeup! I think the makeup you purchase will depend on what kind of makeup look youâbe going for? Like more western makeup or similar to korean makeup?
For more western makeup, some existing suggestions I super support are the eyeshadows from colourpop. A good foundation would vary so much on your skin type and coverage youâre after so generally affordable brands with good foundations/concealers with medium coverage are maybelline, wet n wild, & elf cosmetics. As for brow products, elf is also a good choice. For good face palettes, morphe is a pretty good option but elf also has some good palettes (blush, contour/bronzer). Lip products depend on what kind of finish you prefer đ
For more korean / asian makeup styles, multi-purpose products are the best. An example would be the multi-purpose cream (blush?) from flower beauty. Like seriously a bang for your buck bc you need such a small amount of the product but the color pay off is awesomeâI often use this product for blush, eyeshadow, and lip tint. For face base, I suggest IT cosmetics bc of its buildable coverage. Contour isnât as emphasized in asian makeup styles but should you want to add this, a multi purpose cream/stick would be best as well.
(By the way, I know these bc I perform on stage & I major in broadcasting so I also do TV makeup on myself...đ
and Iâm asian so I use both more western makeup looks and also asian/kbeauty looks as well. Regardless, I hope these will be helpful. And omg, im also a sagittarius and THE THEME OF THE WEDDING IS đ and ooooh, if you donât mind, could you share with us some makeup looks you want to achieve? maybe weâd be able to suggest more specific products?)
- đž anon
WE LOVE A MULTI-HYPHENATED BESTIE đ thank u so much babe for all of this i love u youâre so cool
#iâm still not set on what final look bUT IâLL TRY TO LOOK FOR SOME LATER#answered#people i love#đž anon

Are You Beautiful?
What makes someone attractive? How are they better than most? What do people find attractive? I wanted to know that in the survey I made about beauty. 19 people responded, and you can take the survey here https://forms.gle/b4kognLWuW4JtGUw7
Q-Â Do you look at influencers or friends and compare yourself to them?
Q- Do you put more effort into what you look like to be more attractive?
Q-Do you think that showing diverse models in media will better people's self esteem?
Q-Â How do you think we can improve people's beauty standards?
âSpreading body positivity and making it clear that you donât have to look a certain way to âfit into societyâ itâs better to stand out and itâs annoying that people judge everyone else who doesnât look or act a certain way because thatâs how society made us they are turning everyone against each other.â
âI think instead of focusing on making beauty standards more inclusive, we should be aiming to make beauty a less important part of someoneâs value. Everyone is going to think different people and things are beautiful - and thatâs wonderful! I donât think we should change that as long as it isnât harming anyone. I think itâs more important to emphasize that being beautiful doesnât define your worth than it is to emphasize that âyou can be beautiful however you areââ
âShowing that there shouldnât be one specific beauty standard.â
Q-Â what makes someone attractive to you?
âa good personality, someone i can laugh with.â
âtheir character, their smile, the way they are completely themselves without having a care in the world what other people think aka confidence.â
âIâm attracted to people that go out of their way to be kind to others or make someone laugh. I think having a sense of humor while understanding where the boundary is on what should and shouldnât be said is very attractive. Also, short kings rise up.â
âCurly hair strong sharp face and fierce appearance.âÂ
Next time I think Iâll put some more detail in this question because I ment looks wise, not exactly personality.Â
Q- How do you make yourself attractive?
âmakeup. tight clothes and crop tops. they make me feel good.â
âI donât really try to do things to make my self attractive, if that makes sense ? I do it more because I feel good about and comfortable with myself when I do, and that includes dressing in alternative styles, doing my makeup, and wearing piercings.â
âMaking people laugh.â
Q-Â if someone told you you were beautiful what would you say back?
âI would be surprised and most likely give them a hug and cry a lil bit.â
âI cringe at first and force out a thank you.â
âOh my god thank you.â
âI would probably smile lol Bc I donât rlly get compliments and Iâll say thank you and compliment them back.â
âyouâre lyingâ
âWell I would be flustered, say âthanks, you too. And Iâm really not much of a peeper but thanks anywaysâ
Q-Â Do you think movies glorify beauty standards?
Q-Â What do you think is the most attractive thing about yourself?
âI think itâs sexy as hell that Iâm willing to have open communication instead of bottling up my emotions until I lash out at someone.â
âMy personality.â
âmy eyes 100%.â
ânothing Iâve found yet.â
âMy bone structure.â
âVisually? My hair.â
âMy biceps.â
Q- Describe your soulmate
âSomeone that treats me with unconditional love and support. Someone that is patient with me and knows how to deal with me.â
âsomeone who is confident, makes me feel like we are the only two people on earth, makes me feel like I donât need to be or look or feel a certain way to know that he is in love w my soul not my body.â
âMy soulmate is someone that I can just be myself around. We hold similar core values about moral issues and enjoy a lot of the same media, or at least enjoy listening to each other talk about the stuff our interests donât overlap on. They can always make me laugh and enjoy cooking with me. They are understanding of my boundaries and genuinely listen when I tell them something is wrong. They get along well with my friends and family.â
âSomeone who is smart, funny, really kind and athletic like me so we can do cool stuff together.â
âTall like me, chocolate skin, black curly hair, with highlights, an appealing face , body idc tbhâ
âFunny, a cutie, has a smile that never fails to make you smile back, the type of person to make breakfast in bed one minute but then itâs a nerf gun war the next. A person who affects you to the point that you canât imagine a world that theyâre not in.â
âlikes me for me and doesnât want anything but that.â
âIâll know them when I see themâ

Clean, Green, Organic, Sustainable - Explained
There is a lot of talk and buzz around these terms, and it can be difficult to navigate through the beauty world without knowing the proper definitions and implications of them. Is something which is organic also clean? Is a green product good for the environment and is the brand therefore sustainable? Unfortunately itâs not as clear-cut and the brands use these terms for their advantage as a marketing tool in many cases. I want to give you guys a better overview in hopes to help you make smarter, and more informed decisions when buying âcleanâ makeup.Â
Clean beauty emerged as consumers increasingly become aware of the harmful ingredients in their cosmetics. They contain hormone disruptors, animal byproducts that can cause cancer, birth defects and other serious illnesses in the long run. As a response, many brands are now detoxing their ingredients list, focusing on ingredients not known to cause human harm.
It is especially important to avoid the âDirty Dozenâ - ingredients that should not be in your makeup (or other personal care products):
- Phtalates (Dibutyl Phtalate) - Sulphates (Sodium Laurate, Lauryl Sulphate, SLS) - Parabens (Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, Butyl, Isobutyl) - Formaldehyde - BHA and BHT (Butylated Hydroxyanisole, Butylated Hydroxytoluene - Coal-Tar Dyes - DEA Compounds (Diethanolamine) - Fragrance and/or Parfum - PEG Compounds (Polyethylene Glycols) - Petrolatum - Siloxanes - Triclosan I will include my sources below so you guys can read up on why these ingredients are bad for you and the environment.
Green cosmetics in turn, focus more on the environment and how ingredients are sourced. They are eco-friendly in the sense that the ingredients are renewable raw materials. Think natural oils (argan, jojoba, ...), Plants like soybean and corn, and bacteria. Green brands also promote friendly and ethical environments for their workers. Itâs great that more and more companies are making use of the earthâs riches, just like back when Cleopatra did her fancy (but natural!) beauty regimen in 70/80 BC. :p She was known for her milk baths and castor & moringa oil cleanses. Well-known green brands include Burtâs Bees, The Drunk Elephant, Native and RMS Beauty. âOrganicâ and âSustainableâ are in the same category as âGreenâ. But you guys still need to be active customers and fully read the labels because FDA regulations in the US are very loose when it comes to cosmetics. In a recent conversation I had with Iva Teixeira, Founder & CEO of âThe Good Face Projectâ, she explained to me how the same product (letâs say from the apparently clean brand Caudalie) has completely different ingredients in Europe vs. in the US. Shocking, isnât it!? So again, you donât really know if theyâre fully clean. This leads me to introducing you to The Good Face Project: they are experts in the science behind the whole Green movement. They developed an algorithm where you can scan your products for their toxicity levels. I am so happy that us costumers are provided with tools like these. Also do check their FAQ to understand how it works.Â
Being green and clean and sustainable and all those bedazzled terms is never entirely transparent and thatâs why I wanted to make this post. I could include so much more, but then Iâd be here writing for hours. Again I just want to emphasize that we can make a difference if we keep buying safe products, not only for our health but also for the environment. The organics cosmetics market currently has a 15% annual growth rate, which means it surpassed that of the conventional cosmetics market. By 2025, it will have reached $25.11 billion. Very promising! :-)

ok i thought of this malec elevator au and it's KILLING ME: magnus and alec ride the same elevator every day at the same time and always see each other and they think the other is super cute but are too shy(or at least alec is) but also they never really have time to say anything bc it's like a 3 second ride so little by little they start talking to each other and their fondness for each other grows and eventually they ask each other out to dinner and it's super cute i'm literally dead
this is so cute im dead too???!!! honestly the best idea. also please forgive me and imagine that a ride from floor twenty to floor one is long enough for them to talk, okay, itâs fiction.
Itâs been an endlessly long day and Alecâs ready to just go home and camp out on the couch in his sweats, even though he knows heâs probably going to be dragged to the gym to spar by Jace. He strides into the elevator and tips his head back against the wall, blearily opening his eyes when it dings on the next floor down.Â
A man walks in balancing an empty thermos and a notepad in one hand and his laptop and headphones in the other, trying to stuff everything into his leather messenger bag despite having no hands left to do so with. The laptop teeters and begins to fall; Alec springs forward and catches it, but as he looks up to say here you go the words die in his throat as he takes in the other manâs sparkling eyes and soft-looking lips. Heâs got red-tipped, styled hair, and the scarf around his neck is doing nothing to protect him from the cold and instead emphasizes the sharp, broad cut of his shoulders and his muscles, the long lines of his torso.Â
âHi, uh.â Alec flounders, handing the laptop back. âHere.âÂ
âThank you.â The man smiles at Alec, his eyes crinkling, and Alec canât help but smile back, wide and genuine. Heâs not a friendly person by nature, but something about the brightness of the man, and how beautiful he is, has blown his normal walls away.Â
The elevator dings again, and they both smile at each other one more time before they go their separate ways. The thought of the man brings a smile to his face all night.Â
.
Itâs close to a week the next time Alec sees him. This time heâs holding a doughnut in his hand as he leaves work, contemplating if he wants to eat it now or maybe save to share with Jace, when the door dings and the man with the red-tipped hair walks in again. Alec looks up in surprise.Â
âNice goatee.â He says before he can help himself, and the manâs eyes widen slightly as he looks at Alec, before a slow smile spreads over his face.Â
âThanks.â He holds a finger up. âYouâre the one who rescued my laptop last week - thank you for that, by the way. I would have lost all of my notes for this weeks project if you hadnât.âÂ
âIt was no problem.â Alec fiddles with the edge of the napkin in his hands as silence falls around them again, the digital display on the wall ticking down the floors from twenty to one.Â
âIâm Magnus, by the way.âÂ
Alec looks up, surprised. Magnus is still looking at him like Alecâs done something unbelievable.Â
âAlec.â He says, and the elevator dings for the ground floor. They smile at each other again - Alec hasnât done this much random smiling for a stranger since he worked as a mall kiosk attendant for one brutal, short-lived week back when he was sixteen - and part ways.Â
.
âI like your shirt.âÂ
âItâs just black.â Alec says, amused, the next time he meets Magnus. âYou donât have to pretend itâs anything special.âÂ
âWell,â Magnus adjusts his scarf - a beautiful printed silk one this time - and shakes his head at Alec, his eyes amused. âYou complimented my goatee last time, which frankly Iâve gotten nothing but bad reactions about - I felt it was only appropriate I point out that youâre not bad yourself.âÂ
Alec laughs, startled by the way his cheeks heat up at the praise.
âI donât think Iâll ever quite reach your level of fashion.â He remarks as the doors slide open. âHave a good day, Magnus.âÂ
âYou as well, Alec.âÂ
.
âWhat happened to the red?â Alec blurts out, unable to help himself. Magnus looks at him blearily, an unusual tiredness layered over his impeccable makeup.Â
âOh, my hair.â Magnus runs a hand through his hair. âIt was time for a change, I guess.âÂ
âBack to the basics?â Alec asks. Magnus looks at him, his head lolling sideways from where heâs resting against the wall, and a faint smile graces his features.Â
âIf I remember correctly,â Magnus says, âyouâre the one thatâs good with the basic colors. Like black.âÂ
Alec looks down at his purple button up and shrugs, looking at Magnus and lifting a challenging eyebrow. Magnus laughs.Â
âYouâre something else, Alec. Short for Alexander?â Magnus asks. Alec nods and smiles sympathetically at Magnus as the elevator doors open to the ground floor.Â
âHave a good night, Magnus.â
.
âYou inspired me.â Magnus says by way of greeting when the elevator doors slide open. His hair has streaks of violet in it, and Alec looks at it with barely concealed delight.Â
âGlad to be of service.â He replies, nodding. Magnus hums.Â
âI think Iâve figured it out. We meet once a week on this elevator, on Wednesday evenings. You work late?â Magnus asks.Â
âIâm the head of the incorporation effort, and Iâve been working on getting all the mergers together.â Alec says, rubbing the back of his neck. âWhat are you doing so late?âÂ
âThe mergers? I wrote one of them.â Magnus says, surprised. âYouâre the Lightwood.âÂ
Alec smiles, charmed despite himself at the way Magnus snaps his fingers and makes a little a-ha! noise.Â
âThe one and only. When you introduced yourself as Magnus, I figured you were the Mr. Bane Iâd heard so much about.âÂ
âWell, Iâm flattered. Good things, I hope.â He smooths down the front of his coat and looks at Alec through his lashes, and Alec suddenly canât breathe, utterly charmed by the man in front of him. âIâve been having meeting with our Los Angeles design team ever week. Iâm the last one left on my floor, usually.âÂ
âWell,â Alec says, clearing his throat and smiling crookedly at Magnus as the elevator door opens, ânow youâve got me.âÂ
.
âWhatâs the tattoo?â Magnus asks. Alec looks down in surprise to see that a curl of black is peeking out of his collar. He adjusts his shirt, face flaming red.Â
âItâs, uh.â He shifts on his feet. âMy mother and father come from some antiquated nobility circlesâŠa very long time ago we had a coat of arms and entire codex of symbols. The bookâs been passed down through the generations, and even though it doesnât mean anything, we get them as tattoos to symbolize things.âÂ
âNobility?â Magnus asks, his eyes wide. He shakes his head, his lips curving upwards into a smile.âYouâre just full of surprises, arenât you, Alexander?âÂ
Alec laughs. âItâs no big deal, I think half of Europe can claim to be descended from nobles.â He shrugs, and peers at Magnus. âI heard that youâre the son of an Indonesian business tycoon? Thatâs far more impressive.â Magnus shakes his head, his expression turning stormy.Â
âThe disowned son.â He says, and at the look on Alecâs face he hastens to reassure him. âItâs an old hurt, I assure you. Iâm quite open about my sexuality, and thatâs ruffled a few feathers. Iâve never regretted it.âÂ
âOh.â Alec says, and Magnus gives him a strained smile. When the door opens, he looks squarely at Magnus. âIâm still sorry, though, for what itâs worth. I canât imagine anyone being ashamed of you.âÂ
Magnusâ soft, delighted smile stays with him for days.Â
.
âCookie?â Magnus asks as he steps into the elevator. Alec hums in appreciation and takes one of the two that Magnus is holding.Â
âThis is the deflect symbol, by the way.â Alec says steadily, looking at the elevator buttons.Â
âWhat?âÂ
âYou asked about my tattoo last time.â He unbuttons the top button of his shirt and pulls the collar slightly, revealing the larger, sweeping symbol. âI thought that it would help me remember to hide the parts of myself that I didnât like. It was the first one I got.âÂ
âIt doesnât sound like it worked.â Magnus says, and his voice is even and gentle, steadying as he regards Alec. Alec barks out a laugh as he pulls his shirt over the tattoo again.Â
âNo.â And he smiles. âIt took me a while, but I learned to accept my sexuality too. Itâs not the easiest thing in the world, but the tattoo reminds me to keep trying.â
âFunny how things work out.â Magnus puts his hand on Alecâs shoulder and squeezed, his fingers warm. Itâs the first time theyâve touched, and Alec suddenly finds himself aching for more. Itâs a ferocious, sudden want, and he blinks as he realizes that over weeks and weeks of elevator chats, heâs begun to fall hard for Magnus.Â
âYeah. Funny.â Alec says, clearing his throat as he stares at Magnusâ gorgeous eyes.Â
.
âYou look like you just received some very bad news.â Magnus remarks as he comes into the elevator. Alec snorts.Â
âItâs not bad. Well,â he amends, âbad for me. My roommate - my brother - his boyfriend Simon asked him to move in with him. Heâs ecstatic, of course, but Iâve gotten used to having him around.âÂ
âSimon Lewis?â Magnus asks, leaning forward in interest.Â
âYeah.â Alec says, surprised, and then he inhales sharply. âOh, Simon works on the nineteenth floor, thatâs right.âÂ
âHeâs my assistant, he runs the whole place effortlessly.â Magnus smiles, his eyes fond. âI donât know what weâd do without him. Your brother is Jace Herondale?âÂ
âHis legal last name is Lightwood.â Alec says, nodding. âIâm happy for them. Simonâs a great guy - donât tell him I said that. He pretends heâs got a healthy level of fear for me, and Iâd like to keep it that way.âÂ
âOf course.â Magnusâ shoulders are shaking with his laughter. âBut now youâre out a roommate?âÂ
âMy sister offered to move in with me, but her girlfriend told me two weeks ago that sheâs going to ask Iz to move in with her too.â Alec shrugs. âI donât mind, living on my own, itâs justâŠnice to have someone around.âÂ
The elevator door dings while Magnus is looking at him sharply, carefully, and he almost misses Magnusâ soft âIt is.âÂ
.
âThis is the last week Iâm working late.â Alec blurts out when Magnus steps into the elevator. Magnus freezes as the door closes behind him. âI - I donât know how this is the only place I run into you.âÂ
âI donât know either.â Magnus says quietly, a lost expression on his face. Alecâs throat is dry, but he thinks about the text from Simon on his phone - hey, now that Iâve connected the dots to my bossâ mysterious elevator man, you should give it a shot. youâve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.Â
Everything to gain. He hasnât let himself think about being happy with someone in a long, long time, and that knee-jerk fear in his heart at the vulnerability required is still there. But this is Magnus, whoâs beautiful and witty and intelligent, and Alec doesnât want to let that go.Â
âListen, I, uh.â He sighs and looks upward, gathering his courage, before he looks back at Magnus. âYouâre really great, and i just - youâre always the highlight of my week, and I want to - â
âDo you want to get dinner with me? Like, a date?â Magnus asks in a rush, his eyes hopeful and a smile growing on his face. Alec lets out the breath he was holding, his heart suddenly threatening to beat out of his chest, his cheeks heating up as he laughs.Â
âIâd love to.â He smiles at Magnus, and it feels like the start of something amazing.Â
.
one year later
âWorking late again, Mr. Lightwood?âÂ
âI was waiting for my boyfriend, Mr. Bane.â Alec says, nodding seriously at Magnus as the elevator door closes behind him. Itâs late on a Wednesday night, and theyâre probably the only ones left in the building.Â
âWaiting for your boyfriend? He sounds like a lucky man.â Magnus remarks. Alec rolls his eyes at that and steps forward into Magnusâ space.Â
âIâm the lucky man, Magnus.â He says, exasperated and fond, and Magnus is laughing as Alec tangles his hand in the collar of Magnusâ shirt and kisses him, slow and unhurried as the floors tick by.Â
And the thought of going home, to their well-lit apartment and their cats and their ridiculously expensive bed, no longer feels lonely at all.Â

hii, i just wanted to say that i'm pretty pale and pink too specially on hot days and i hate how pink i can get, but i started applying some make up (i use power instead of foundation bc im a pussy and make up scares me) and it actually changes a lot, mostly my own perception. I have to re apply constantly but it makes me feel much better, and makes my skin look much more even? idk but have u considered that before? and its much easier than fake tan :o
p2. and i know its hard to believe even if people tell you over and over but i just NEED to emphasize that you are beautiful !!!! no matter how your skin look !!!!!! try not to compare urself with others so much !! find ways to make your skin glow like skin cares and colors that look good on you !!!!!!!! you are beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul bby
i was gonna reply yesterday but i wanted to do it on a computer so i could reply properly so sorry for this late reply ;;;
ah i want to say first of all i was nervous when i was writing that post if i made it sound like i thought being pale was ugly because thats not what i think, just for me (especially since im italian) its something which i think looks ugly on me - kinda like how a jumper can look nice on some and not others except its everyone who is pale looks nice and elegent and me being a ghost lmao - so i hope i didnt make you feel bad and im really sorry if i did ;;;;
i actually wear makeup most days! i always wear concealer to school and bb cream if im going into the city centre !! rather than the colour of my face bothering me its more the colour of my hands and legs because lol my hands get so pink when im warm, i think what bothers me too is that i have sort of mottled skin? which is harder to see on darker skin but since im pale its quite present /-: but i do agree that makeup helps!!Â
ahh for part two of the ask,, im bad at replying to these sort of things lol but really thank you a lot (-â: i know its not good to compare yourself to others because in the end everyone is different a beauty is subjective and truly what matters more is whats in the inside. i forget a lot of the time too but being pale can be nice too like when ive been told i have porcelain skin which is a good thing i think lol again tho thank you so much ;; i get worried when i post those tpyes of posts that people find it annoying but its really nice getting a reply like thisÂ
#anon i said it twice but again thanks so much#i think i worded the first part of the reply badly hmmm#hopefully this makes sense then#anon#asks#ahhh im sorry the reply is so late

blossom; favorite book/movie/song?- book: i think right now i would say âif we were villains.â i keep getting the urge to read it again. itâs just one of those books that is full to the brim of every kind of emotion thatâs realistic enough while still being wildly fantastical.- movie: ever after. i feel the need to watch it like once a week. itâs just SO GOOD.- song: at the moment itâs âboyâ by willow!!!! itâs been stuck in my head and i canât stop singing it bc itâs so beautiful.bright; mermaids or fairies?- fairies. hands down. iâve been low key obsessed since i was a kid. in fifth grade i played Winx on the playground.cuddly; whatâs your favorite time period?- i donât really know if i have one? i think for the purpose of like....when i like stories to be set, i love the weird hazy nostalgia that comes with stories taking place from like the 70s to the 90scutie pie; most precious item you own?- i donât know if i can choose just one!!!! chances are, if it was given to me by a friend itâs super precious to me (like the necklace you gave me or the drawings bridget has done for me)daisies; describe a moment when you felt free- thereâs not been one huge defining moment really. basically any time iâm away from home without my family đ though i think being in wyoming and backpacking like i did is the closest thing to a big, free momentdoll; how do you like to dress- i guess my style of dress definitely leans more feminine. iâm drawn to cute, girly fabrics and styles. even when i wear a flannel and leggings or jeans/shorts i like making it a little more fem by doing my hair or makeup. euphoric; talk about someone you love- i love my mom. when i was teenager we didnât have a great relationship (i mean obviously, i was a teenager) and that was kind of made worse by the fact that we were both dealing w untreated mental illness. but over the last few years weâve become so much closer and i love spending time with her and talking to her. sheâs so understanding and one of those people who loves helping those she cares about. this last year and a half has thrown a lot of shit at her, but sheâs stayed so resilient and strong and has been incredible.glow; list the top 5 things you like about yourself - my trustworthiness- my ability to find humor in even the smallest things- my drive to love unconditionally- my âcontradictoryâ interests (ie liking cute and girly things but ALSO scary and macabre things)- and for a physical thing, i like my nose/nose piercing. i used to hate hate hate my nose. which tbh was def rooted in some internal racism bc i was always told i had my dadâs âmexicanâ nose. fuck that. i love my nose and how cute it looks w the piercing.pretty; do you like to cook or bake more? - i love love love cooking. i feel more comfortable experimenting with cooking than i do with baking.roses; what is the most significant event in your life so far?- it might sound weird because i wouldnât say itâs an âevent,â but probably the moment i realized what i want to work towards wrt to school and my career. my entire life iâd been working towards.......nothing, basically. i would sit and think about how it felt i was headed nowhere and incredibly fast. i just felt like i didnât have a future and was moving through a void. the day i realized that i wanted to work in an art museum was fucking monumental. i could finally envision SOME sort of future. i realized things might not be as bleak as i had thought and some of that fog finally cleared up.thimble; is there somebody you look up to? who are they? - i think my little sister is at the top of the list. sheâs so much more self-aware and aware of the world than i was at almost 16. sheâs as outspoken as i wish i could be sometimes. i hope she never lets the world change her.here it is! finally! thank you! đđ
