more importantly how would riko fit into camping setting this man never touched grass

LMAO Shoulda known this would be the follow-up ask from you my dear.

I know we talked about Riko and stars but I'm gonna write a lil bit about it. So more under the cut.

There was a time where the car that is taking Riko from place to place, media event to media event breaks down in the middle of the road. There's no cell service and it's just him and a driver. The driver heads off, swearing to be back with a tow truck or whatever assistance they need.

Riko sits in that backseat arms crossed and PISSED about what's going on. He's going to miss his media engagement, it's going to be a whole damn thing. Who knows how Master will react. He can't do anything because he needs his suit to be perfect for when he shows up fashionably late to the engagement and the interview.

Then an hour passes, maybe two, maybe three, and it's dark. He can no longer entertain himself by counting the stitches in the fine Italian leather seats like he'd been doing when he ran out of Exy strategies to think about and funny excuses to give to people who might not even know he's not there.

He climbs out of the car figuring he can count a few stars, make exy plays out of their formations if nothing else. It'll get boring just like the few times he and Kevin snuck up to the top of the stadium and looked at the muted stars. Staring up at the stars won't ruin his suit.

He looks up and the universe is greeting him.

He gets back in the car suddenly feeling overwhelmed by what he had just seen. Sits and tries to count the stitches (finite, with an end) just by touch but he keeps getting different numbers since his fingers aren't that sensitive anymore.

He takes a breath and climbs out of the car again and looks up. The universe greets him again and it's endless. He can't possibly count what is up there, it's bigger than him. He looks at his suit and knows that he's not going to be going to make it and he can think up a good story about why he's dirty.

He settles on the hood of the car staring up into the sky and he feels small. A car passes him and he doesn't even try to stop it too transfixed by the heavens above him.

A few more hours pass like this and he wonders if his driver just legged it fearing the repercussions of improper maintenance of a Moriyama vehicle. He wonders if he lives here now.

The car is kind of uncomfortable he looks to the side and thinks about laying on the grass and thinks about insects and worms and things beneath him. Small things that can be destroyed by him so easily right under his polished shoes. He's above them, high above them.

He looks up at the stars again and finds himself laying with the bugs in the grass.

It's nice.

2nd STARWARS/DAEMON AU POST!!!!! This time with the CC's and the Disaster Lineage!

Obi-Wan: Maned Wolf (Kee-Ayt)

Anakin: Lion (maned female lioness) (Asieko)

Ahsoka: Gryfalcon (Tuex)

Cody: German Shepherd (Beskar)

Rex: Siberian Husky (Queen)

Wolffe: Wolfdog (Whitefang)

Fox: Doberman Pinscher (Vulpe)

Bly: American Akita (Lyra)

LORE TIME: first off! Jedi! So I thought a lot about how daemons and Jedi should work. I did end up deciding that Jedi GENERALLY have bird daemons (like the witches in His Dark Material), BUT not always. The Jedi having bird daemons is not a ‘All Force Sensitives Have Daemons Who Settle As Birds’ thing. It wouldn’t make sense in this AU since Force-sensitivity is a spectrum and at what level would someone have ‘enough’ force-sensitivity to have a daemon for certain become a bird? I didn’t like that narrative as much, it felt restrictive. So instead Jedi tend to have bird daemons, but not Force-Sensitives. Like all Jedi are force sensitive ( and have bird daemons) but not all Force-Sensitives are Jedi, make sense? This is because of how the Jedi raise children and teach them to interact with the force. Because of how Jedi are taught to view and use the force, their daemons tend to settle as birds! It’s ‘nurture’ over ‘nature’ thing. Which is why (in this AU at least) the Jedi don’t take in older children to train. Because they’ve already probably learned their own way to interact with the force (different from the Jedi teachings) and therefore will have a non-bird daemon! Hence Anakin having a lion daemon. “But what about Obi-Wan?” (Well since Obi-Wan is one of my favorites I get to spice him up lol). He was originally very Jedi like (daemon wise) but after the whole Jedi Apprentice/Xanantos enslaving him/Melida-Daan war thing, he daemon ended up settling as a Maned Wolf! I imagine he was just about the age where his daemon would settle (usually 13-15, which is the same reason this is the age Jedi initiates are made padawans), so it was a surprise that his daemon so abruptly changed and settled. Most likely the effects of being so abruptly exposed to violence and war right out of being only use to the peace of the Jedi temple his whole life. 

(Extra) The 3rd page of the post! Cody and Obi-Wan’s daemons! Beskar and Kee-Ayt! Even though in my doodles Beskar seems to be very grumpy and even hatful towards Kee-Ayt, DO NOT BE FOOLED. Beskar adores Kee-Ayt. Their relationship just mirrors how I headcanon Cody’s and Obi-Wan’s. Where they will harass and bitch at each other to hell and back. Sounding from the outsider’s POV like two people who hate each other. When in reality these two are joined at the hip and love each other. They just will never admit it because “we have reputations to uphold!’ (Anakin says “what reputation? the reputation that one of you would murder the other if it wasn’t for the fact the GAR would court marshal the other?”) But yeah, Beskar makes fun of Kee-Ayt’s long ass legs. The mini ‘comic’ is about how I imagine that since all the Clones’ daemons are dogs/canines, when they win a battles they have a ‘Victory Call’ where they all howl. Beskar offers for Kee-Ayt to join in, but Maned Wolves can’t howl. They do this thing called a Roar-Bark (look up a video it’s so loud). This is the first time Beskar hears Kee-Ayt roar-bark and it scared the shit out of her.

(Extra Extra) The 4th page of the post! This is mostly doodles of Rex, Anakin and Ashoka’s daemons (Queen, Asieko and Tuex). All three reflect the close relationship that Rex, Anakin and Ahsoka have. Hence Tuex nesting on Queen and Asieko trying to groom Queen (who doesn’t appreciate the rough lion tongue bath she’s getting). (In fact Asieko tries to groom Tuex and Kee-Ayt too, but Tuex is too small and Kee-Ayt just starts biting Asieko bcs she doesn’t appreciate the bath either lol). We also have Tuex dive bombing Asieko (a common occurrence whenever Anakin and Ahsoka bicker). Tuex also does this to literally anyone who slightly annoys him or Ahsoka. And lastly the little doodle of Rex and Queen screaming! Idk if you’ve ever seen videos of Huskies, but oh boy are they loud and dramatic. I think with all the stress and insanity Rex has to deal with leading the 501st, he and Queen often have therapy screaming sessions. They deserve to. 

(ALSO, I will be making follow up reblogs with lore/plot stuff for each individual character)

[astuteology]

~ Some observations ~

🔹️Aries with pisces placements - always the one to chase their love interests.

🔸️Lilith in the 1st house women - crushing on every siren eyed girl or someone who embody dark feminine energy.

🔹️Capricorn sun with pisces venus - yall fall in LOVE love. Once you love someone, there's no going back for you all. Very loyal.

🔸️Taurus and libra placements - yall love makeup, jewellery, piercings, anything cute. Also your smiles???????? So freaking adorable omg.

🔹️Also with taurus and libra placements, I've noticed yall also like chubby cheeks on people????

🔸️Libra sun's- wanting to mother anyone you find cute.

🔹️Personal planets in 12th house - I've noticed whenever they're SAD sad, they either sing or try hard to cry but can't :(

🔸️Sun in the 12 - how does it feel to always trying to figure out how you are at your core?

🔹️Underdeveloped pisces placements - LIARS. Tries to put other people down just to make themselves feel good. Manipulators ofcourse.

🔸️Especially women with Underdeveloped pisces placements - straight up jealous of their female friends. Tries to steal their boyfriend's. Pathetic.

🔹️Most aquarius placements want fwb.

🔸️Lilith in the 5th - center of attention. Always. Also with this, when they're in a club or any other entertaining place, they tend to get negative comments from people???? They try to put you down then say " oh I was just joking" .

🔹️Underdeveloped Capricorn placement- A BITCH. Very rude and mean. Plays victim card. Again just pathetic.

🔸️But developed Capricorn placements- omg yall teach alot. Your mentality >>>>>>>. a friend everyone should deserve. The guidance yall give.

🔹️Pisces venus women- please leave that toxic ass relationship. Please. Yall deserve much better. And trust me yall will get it.

🔸️Underdeveloped Capricorn men - omg yall just stay away from loyal girls please. Very unloyal. I've seen many times men with this placement, they be in a long term relationship but still be fucking around.

🔹️Underdeveloped pisces men - yall think you know everything. No honey you don't. Also stop trying to get into people's business. Also they ignore communication???? Very silent treatment type.

🔸️Underdeveloped Leo placements- yall keep on crossing boundaries in your relationships, and try to make your partner jealous then complain why they leave you.

🔹️Cancer placements, especially sun, moon, venus, saturn- so giving and like to nurture people. I've seen that yall heal people. Like people generally come to you to vent out. But yall rarely get a shoulder to cry on :(

The Lost Boys

Favorite Holiday

DAVID - New Year’s Eve

Not the actual day, but what it represents

Though he does like the parties

Particularly enjoys setting goals for the next year

Some of them have to do with murder but oh well

He fully writes out a little list and tapes it to a cave wall

He lets the others all submit a goal for him and he chooses one to actually do

He normally throws Paul’s out

“Stop being Michael’s little bitch boy”

They are less so about improving himself and more about what insane shit can he get away with in the new year

One year his only goal was to eat every person who protested during pride month

He got a stomach ache but he eventually tracked them all down

It’s the only holiday were you will EVER see him dress up

He does those glasses in the shape of whatever year it is and sometimes wears a suit

But only if he’s really into his next list

Won’t admit it, but also thinks the kiss tradition is romantic

Just the fact that the first thing someone wants to do after the clock resets is kiss him?

He’s a sucker for it

He doesn’t do a quick little peck either

It’s pretty much the only time he will give whoever it is a sweet, gentle, and sensual kiss other than in situations where he genuinely thinks he’s gonna lose them

Like when Marko got impaled in the stomach

His favorite memory of all time is when they all managed to do a group kiss as the countdown ended one year

It was kinda clunky and the least romantic kiss he’s ever had but he still loved it

MICHAEL - Thanksgiving

Doesn’t really care about the actual day and what it originally was

Just really loves spending time with the people he cares about

The boys all spend pretty much every second together anyways but this is the only day he can get his bio family and his boyfriends all together in the same place without one side trying to/ threatening to kill the other

It’s not as tense as you’d think either

They all love Michael enough to basically forget everything that has ever happened between them and pretend they’re all just regular humans

He loves to watch Sam and Dwayne geek out about comic books together

Even if he doesn’t know what half of what they’re saying means

It doesn’t hurt that Lucy is an AMAZING cook

He legitimately shoved Sam out of his seat one year when they were kids

He was NOT gonna let him get both legs of the turkey

Whenever it’s his year to do the wishbone he does the same thing

For everyone to get along like this more often

PAUL - Christmas

Honestly he loves all holidays

It’s just an excuse to be even more affectionate to everyone

ppl tend to be more happy and friendly during Christmas and he loves that

He’s a huge extrovert and during most the year ppl in Santa Carla are less likely to engage with strangers

But this time of year? Everyone is getting in the holiday spirit

He’s always wanted the boys to form a band and the comprise they came up with is caroling

They let him pick the song

If anyone slams the door in their face or is otherwise outright rude he gets SO sad

The rest of the pack hunts those ppl down through the next year and gives them to paul as a gift

He loves it

He also is a huge fan of decorating the tree

It normally looks like an elf threw up tinsel and joke ornaments but he’s very proud of it

Tries to convince everyone else to keep it up as long as possible

Plans a movie marathon on Christmas Eve

Actually BUYS candy canes, hot cocoa, & peppermint bark (stealing that would ruin the shop owners vibes and he refuses to do that near Christmas)

Sets up all the treats and picks 5 movies for them to cuddle up and watch near one of the caves barrels

The only movie he picks every single year is Die hard

Other than that one he has a rule that he can’t reuse a movie he picked in the last 5 years

MARKO - Halloween

Mainly enjoys the build up over the actual day

He takes a lot of pride in making his and all the boys costumes from scratch (except David -_-)

They turn out really high quality as well

Usually at least one of them gets stopped and complimented on it

Occasionally someone thinks they have the actual costume from the movie/show the characters from and they become invincible

Like marko refuses to let any of the boys eat that person for the rest of time

He takes it so seriously I’m not even joking

There’s a no kill list with names and updated pictures

David ignored it once and never made that mistake again

Marko genuinely was really hurt and didn’t hang out with him one on one for 4 months

And withheld any affection from him for 2 months

He made sure the body was found (made it look like a hit and run) and brings little trinkets to the grave every once and a while

LOVES horror movies

Especially the really gory ones

He’s a sadist and takes the really interesting kills as inspiration

It’s like his own personal Pinterest

Pulls a ton of pranks during the month of October

Toilet papers ~50 houses every year

Steals huge bags of candy and hands them out at the board walk

He loves Halloween so much and wants everyone to be able to enjoy it

There’s a family in town that loves it but can’t afford good quality costumes most years

He reached out to the parents and offered to make all the families outfits for free

He’s done it the past 3 years and loves it

When he drops of the costumes he leaves candy for the kids and a wad of money that definitely was acquired legally

Just trust him on that and don’t ask too many questions

Uses washable paint and decorates David’s bike

It’s the only thing David will let anyone else do to his bike bc he knows marko will take it seriously and make it bad ass

He also gets a free bike cleaning for Marko after it starts to peel/chip off so win-win

DWAYNE - Valentine’s Day

I personally see him as the most romantic of the group

But he’s also the one who has the hardest time showing it

Valentine’s Day is the day he feels the most comfortable showing love bc he knows all his boyfriends are in the mood for “all that mushy shit” (Marko’s words)

He does NOT hold back

Valentine’s Day is more like valentine’s week bc he gives each of them a special day leading up to the 14th

Then on the actual day he plans a group date

He spends the entire year stealing borrowing gifts from victims that he thinks the boys will love

He has a mini garden near the bottom of the cliff

He grows the other’s favorite flowers

He leaves them in random parts of their nests year round, but makes a huge bouquet of all of them for Valentine’s Day

His demeanor totally switches during this time

Normally he tries to be a chill, mysterious, laid back kinda guy

But during his favorite week?

He’s like an excitable puppy

He’s constantly giggling and being extra affectionate with the boys

Pulls out ALL the couples nicknames

Even in public he’s doing more than he usually does

Dwayne takes any extra flowers he has and if he sees anyone who looks sad or lonely on valentines night he gives them a compliment and a flower

Eats ppl who are being dicks to their partner that night

————

Hey yall! Haven’t posted in a bit so I finished this draft I started in October lol

Figured it’s the best time of year for it.

Gonna be so fr yall, I don’t think I’m ever gonna post as much as I used to. I was pumping out like 6 posts a month for 4 months which may not seem like a ton but it feels like it is lmao

But now I have more responsibilities than I used to and it’s killed my creativity a bit. That being said: I’m not giving up completely. I’m still keeping this blog and writing whenever I feel like it, just not at the speed or amount I used to do it. I’m setting a goal for at least once a month next year and I’m really gonna try to keep it.

Thanks to everyone who reads my hcs and fics, and a special thank you to anyone who sticks around:]

Personal Headcanons #4

Another set of headcanons for you folks! I haven't done these in quite a while so now seemed like a good time. Let's get started!

Dynamite Anton (Antonball/Antonblast)

Has knowledge on anything beverage based, especially if it involves alcohol. Anton is surprisingly adept at liquor magic in particular. Some of his most prized Spirits are his own creations.

A surprisingly decent parent despite his overindulgence in alcohol and not paying his tab. Can only cook simple foods like box macaroni, doesn't have a car so he piggybacks his kids to school(Anton is super fast/strong), and tries to be presentable for important occasions. Will teach his children how to use a giant hammer alongside taking them out for their first alcoholic drink.

Has used his skills as a former exterminator to deal with pests in the apartment. Sometimes Anton would do other people's houses for extra cash. He will charge extra for mole problems though. (The man absolutely loathes those kinds of pests in particular.)

Rarely shaves at all. Anton is a hairy man and he will only shave for two reasons. If it hinders him in some way or the hair is ruined in some way like being burnt for example. Becomes completely unrecognizable should he ever go hairless.

Bright red skin = constant jokes and color related nicknames. Anton has been called things like Mr. Habanero, Tomato Nose, Lobsterman, and Dynamite Strawberry. Doesn't hesitate to fire back his own brand of name calling.

Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No. 8)

Very quick to learn new hobbies but has some difficulty keeping up with a few. Kafka knows how to play guitar but hasn't fixed up his broken one. Can cook yet either has no time or money to do so. He started both again after joining the Defence Force.

Great with kids but needs to adapt a few of his skills whenever in kaiju form. Has thought about having his own children despite the new inhuman side to him. Rather plan ahead on the topic but Kafka can adjust to surprises with some issues.

Has a personal notebook about his kaiju form and Tiny the Larval Kaiju. Any new information is added to the book in a unique cipher only he knows. Unique forms like Riot or Modes such as Drill and Hybrid have their own sections.

Kafka still attends events with his Monster Sweeper friends even after joining the Defense Force. He sometimes helps out on a few jobs if he has the time. Kafka does have some trouble not eating kaiju corpses, partly because his alter ego Ai bitches about wasting meat.

Mild gamer and manga nerd. You are more likely to see Kafka binge his equivalent of Pokemon(Guramon) than watching a sports game. Will absolutely word vomit game and manga trivia if given the chance.

Eddie Brock/Venom

Eddie tends to do odd jobs if he ever really needs the money. Sure the man can rob the corpses of the criminals Venom eats but this is a better approach. Plus that blood money could go to trusted charities.

Having a Symbiote means getting sick less. There is the occasional cold or at worse flu for Eddie if his Other doesn't catch it in time. Food poisoning is a 50/50 since the food has to not agree with Venom at all for it to happen.

The symbiote tends to pick up hobbies very quickly. Sometimes Eddie gets so wrapped up in an article that the computer becomes unavailable. Venom has gotten into knitting and painting the most as it adds some color to the apartment.

Binging old movies at home is a nice pastime for the duo. There are few new films that could get Eddie's attention so he likes to go for the classics. His Other finds horror movies hilarious and both make fun of the really bad ones.

Cryptid hunters have visited San Francisco to find the Lethal Protector. Neither half makes it easy for them especially since Eddie learned how to wipe and edit video footage. The real stupid ones always ruin Venom's hunting since they pretend to be criminals or have someone else do it. Expect those particular folks to be tied upside down by the nearest traffic light.

Until next time folks, have a great day!

Long list of Nimona headcanons cause I didn't post yesterday

I feel like Nimona doesn’t really have great control of her shifting/strength when she’s experiencing really intense emotions 

When she’s angry or frustrated she tends to get bigger 

Sometimes it’s her whole body sometimes it’s just her arms 

She has a bad habit of breaking things on accident when she’s upset 

When they’re sad or hurt they’ll get smaller 

One time Nimona and Bal got into a really intense argument and Bal said something he didn’t mean and they shrunk like 5 inches and he knew he fucked up instantly 

When he gets happy or excited is when his shifting really goes haywire  

Sometimes when he’s really happy with someone he’ll subconsciously take on some of their characteristics 

Ambrosius complimented him one time and Nimona had his dimples for the rest of the day 

Bal fixed her headphones and she took on his laugh for two days 

At first it kind of unsettled them but they understood that it was just another way of her showing love so they got used to seeing their freckles on her face and hearing their laughs from her 

Bal needs glasses and contacts most of the time but he never uses them

He says glasses are a pain and he’s terrified of anything and everything near his eyes 

Ambrosius needs to do it for him because it’s easier for some reason 

He also has a bad habit of misplacing his glasses and recruits Nimona and Ambrosius to help him look for them the second they're supposed to leave 

Half the time they give up on looking for them and he relies on Ambrosius to help him read things 

He loves that man to death but if he has to read one more menu out loud he’s gonna lose it 

There have also been close calls where people tried to start a fight cause they thought Bal was glaring at them

In reality he was just trying to read the sign next to them 

No one should let this man drive he’s a terror to society when he’s behind the wheel

He always insists that he doesn’t need his glasses to drive 

Nimona offers to drive but no one lets them because the last time they were behind the wheel they aimed for a group of people yelling “That’s at least 50 points”

Ambrosius is the most responsible driver but as I said in this post that man can’t find his way out of a paper bag 

So his directions are always on and Bal always complains that he could find a faster way in his sleep

Ambrosius turns to him and says “Love you couldn’t find your hand in front of your face” 

And Bal shoved him so hard he almost crashed the carriage and his passenger privileges were revoked for a week

Both Bal and Nimona have resting bitch faces 

A lot of people think Bal is this mean horrible stuck-up person 

And then they talk to him for more than five seconds and realize he’s got a heart of gold and big puppy dog eyes to match

A lot of people see Nimona’s resting bitch face and get a little scared but they also have this thought of “but she’s just a teenager with a squishy little face how bad could she be”

And then they realize they’re talking to a chaos gremlin and the resting bitch face was there to protect them

Ambrosius has been trained not to frown in public 

This man puts Disney Employees to shame with his bright smile and his energetic personality 

But the literal second he’s home that mask drops 

Bal and Ambrosius are so used to this routine that they aren’t even fazed anymore 

But Nimona always pretends like they’re cutting the string over Ambrosius' head whenever the door closes 

It’s almost comical to see because the second they do it his face drops and his shoulders droop and his once energetic voice is a monotone mumble 

He’s not always like this tho being in the public eye just drains the life out of him

But when he gets to stay home with people who love and care about him he could put the damn energizer bunny out of business

is she single? | spike jonze

summary: the reader, a famous filmmaker, does the WIRED autocomplete interview and the internet just loves how much she brings up spike.

an: been wanting to write about spike for so long and i’m finally doing it <3 also i think i want to make this into a series because it’s my dream to be a filmmaker and this is the result of me knowing it’s never going to happen 😭 and for this imagine, spike didn’t date sofia coppola so sorry to you sofia coppola girlies

warnings: y/n mention i hate using y/n but it’s just for the intro to the interview SORRY also i tried to use questions that don’t mention physical features like height, eye color, etc.

you smiled towards the camera as you heard counting then the words “wired autocomplete interview, take one!”

“hi i’m y/n l/n and this is my WIRED autocomplete interview,” you introduced yourself. suddenly a crew member handed you a board that had google searches covered by strips of white paper. “okay, let’s see what you all google about me.”

you ripped the first strip off and read the question. “what is y/n’s net worth?” you chuckled. “whatever it is, it should be higher.”

again, you ripped off another piece of paper. “what is y/n’s favorite movie? whenever someone asks me this, i always say the same. my answer has never changed for seventeen years. my favorite movie is jackass number two. not the first one or the third or the show. number two.” you said with the most serious tone ever.

“who is y/n dating?” you read then looked at the camera with a smirk. “oh you know, just this guy who called me a bitch when we first met them almost got me arrested because i punched him.”

“is y/n married? unfortunately to the same guy who called me a bitch. our love story is so beautiful, i’m sure we’ll tell it to our kids as a bedtime story one day.” you joked.

“y/n l/n husband. spike should get that tattooed on his forehead. or when he wins awards, they should announce him as y/n l/n husband.” you put the board on the floor and got handed another one.

“y/n l/n oscars 2018,” you weren’t sure what it was trying to say. you were thinking back to oscars day of 2018. that night you and the cast and crew for your movie had won the major categories, best picture, best screenplay, best director, and best actor and actress. then it hit you. apart from your movie trending that night because of the wins, you were also trending.

“oh! i guess they’re talking about when i gave my speech and i ‘forgot’ to thank spike. he knows that i love him and respect him. a lot of people on twitter were tweeting me some mean stuff like ‘you forgot your husband? why didn’t you thank your man? you’re a bitch!’ first of all, he wasn’t even mad, second, the only person who gets to call me a bitch and get away with it is spike jonze. and lastly, we went out for ice cream after so everyone was happy in the end.” you smiled brightly as you remembered that night.

“who is y/n l/n’s celebrity crush?” spike knew about your many celebrity crushes, but he didn’t know about your first ever celebrity crush. “i don’t know if this is cheesy, it might be now that i’m thinking about it, but whatever. my first, emphasis on first, celebrity crush was and still is spike jonze. i know, cheesy, right? but before i met him, i had this huge crush on him because i saw his picture in this magazine i bought. actually only a few people know this so why not tell the whole world. i went out with this guy and we had the dinner and a movie type of date so we went out to this new restaurant then we went to go see this movie he really wanted to see and that movie was ‘being john malkovich’. we didn’t go on another date after that because a month later i met spike and that’s when the whole bitch and punching thing happen.” you explained.

“well, that was my wired autocomplete interview. i hope you learned a little bit more about me because i tend to over share a lot. thanks for watching!” you waved goodbye to the camera.

TWITTER

ATEEZ Song Mingi Tarot Reading - Future Spouse

Disclaimer: I do tarot readings for fun, so please read them with a grain of salt. Don’t take my words too seriously and just keep an open mind. Tarot is a divination tool that can’t predict the future, as every single individual has their own will and makes their own decisions. Tarot should be seen as a guidance and a good friend that just has your best interest and gives you advice when needed. I’m not putting anyone in my readings on a pedestal nor am I trying to harm anyone. One last side note, I’m not a native speaker, so please excuse any wrong spellings or poor grammar.

Date of Reading: October 19th 2023

Decks: Ethereal Visions Tarot, Dreamscape Oracle, Romance Angel Oracle, Love Oracle, island time wellness love Oracle, Angel Answers Oracle Cards

Seven of Swords, Queen of Wands, Five of Cups, VI The Lovers, XXIII The Artist (R), XV The Devil

Mingi’s fs is very clever and ambitious

they can be quite nosy, kind of being in everyone’s business and sometimes having a hard time minding their own

I don’t know how to explain but it feels like they kinda enjoy everyone else’s drama and could also kinda cause some drama just for the entertainment

this is someone who’s quite daring and brave and will go for their dreams no matter what

they like adventures and get easily bored

this seems to be someone who’s more on the extroverted side

their laugh is contagious and loud

this is also a very proud individual

I’m getting bad bitch vibes in the most positive way

like, they stand up for themself, know their worth and won’t take anyone’s bs

because of that they can be quite hard to please

could be a Leo or have some Leo placements in their chart

I feel like they have a very prominent light and sweet side but also a pretty dark and extreme side

very caring and loving, but that could easily turn into obsession

they generally seem to easily obsess over people and things, but should definitely keep away from alcohol and drugs

they don’t trust people easily

they have this confident energy and seem like nothing and no one can stop them but at the same time they often regret certain decisions and actually have internal fights with their own insecurities

that’s because they often make choices from the heart and sometimes forget to use their head

they’re very emotional and intellectual

at times their emotions make them mentally unstable and restless

this can cause mood swings at times

they’re very honest tho, always speaking their mind

sometimes they can be quite manipulative, but only towards people who aren’t treating them or they loved ones good

in that case they also tend to use their mental power and intelligence

they appear to be quite greedy, not only for power but also in a materialistic way

they have a hard time leaving their past behind and moving on in life

they will go on many pleasant dates with Mingi

Mingi seems one of the very few people they actually fully trust

it feels like Mingi will help them having an actual functioning relationship for the first time in their life

they will help each other finding themselves whenever they get lost

I think when they first meet it’s one of those “right person wrong time” kinda situation

one of them will be probably in a relationship when they first meet

I see them having multiple encounters until they actually get together, they will get multiple tries to meet at the perfect time in a way

Mingi’s fs feels comfortable in their skin and don’t have any issue with being in the nude or showing skin

for the looks I can say this is someone extremely attractive and sexy

but only Mingi will see the sexy side

in fact, they could appear quite innocent at times

white suits them very well

could be on the curvier side

they could have a bit lighter hair, like a dark blonde or light to medium brown

I’m getting a honey or darker skin tone

Love,

"I saved your life you asshole???"

Summery:

Scott, goes, and tries to have a normal day, really, but in the end, he ends up healing, current co-worker, and apparent boyfriend, joel smallishbeans. What a fun day. What a fun, awesome, day.

Not beta or proof read!!

Tw!! Injuries!! Near death experience!!

(This is a gift fic for the @mcyt-valentines event, and it goes to @deityoftherain!! You had said super hero au, and I really have been looking for a reason to write Joel and Scott, so here you go!!<3)

Smoke bellowed out of the building, curling into the air, dar blc and swallowing anything in it hole. Only truly filling the night sky with even more chemicals. Scott couldn't breath. A mix of panic and other blood rushing emotions filling every inch of him. His stomach turning in knots. 

The watch like thing on his wrist beeps it's panic, loud and clear, and all Scott can see is the smoke and the small, flashing red light from his wrist.

There wasn't any fights today. That's the worst possible thing. No villains spotted, no heros reporting anything during patrol. its a good day. Or, the better term would be, was, a good day. 

He doesn't consider it a good day when he's in civilian clothes, on the outskirts of the city, where there's more corn fields and acres of woods, then there is buildings. Where the roads are all gravel and no one can remember the last time they got fixed. Originally, he wasn't out here for any real reason. When you have possibly one of the best paying jobs in the entire city, well, you tend to just hop in your car, and go somewhere. Scott assumes that's how he got here. Car parked down the road, he had been walking, trying to be kinda humble, yknow? Walk down a gravel road, breath in the dusty air, become just a person, not the only healer in the entire city of hermitpires. Not the guy on the posters advertising the newest medicine. Not the guy who got stalked often just people just...really like the healing guy.

He was trying to be someone again. Trying to be a person. Then, of course, he saw the beam everyone associates with Stratos. A big bad god like man, his power, generally makes him unbelievably strong and changes his physical structure. Taller, generally good looking, Scott won't deny the looks he's spared to the man. But besides the point. There is normally a large beam of light whenever the man switches back and fourth. And well, when Scott sees the light come out of a small, old, barn looking building, and then he can see smoke start to barrel out of it, within moments.

And then he reads the words "hero downed." And well, Scott can't breath. Not as he runs throught the yellowed grass and it cruches under his feet, not as the dry air leaves his throat aching. And certainly not as he bursts open the wooden door, painted over in a bad coat of white.

In the middle of the room lays Stratos. Yet, not Stratos. A short and stout man, and yet he has the curly brown hair and the green streak. The once giant beard, now nothing but a stubble. And the toga he wears lazily draped over him. and in the seconds he's looking at the near dying man. A realization he really doesn't like, hits him. "Joel?!"

That's his boyfriend. The man he's been dating for the last few months, laying against the wall of an old barn. His heart completely stopping in his chest.

Oh, and of course he's freely bleeding from his stomach, that's something important to note. Yeah, dying. What a fun past time.

Joels's eyes are clamped shut, and Scott can't blame him. Stratos doesn't get hurt on the field very often, so in turn, it's unlikely that he has a strong pain tolerance. You need to get hurt a lot, to build up a pain tolerance. That and, getting, what looks to be stabbed, maybe impelled, is designed to hurt like a bitch. And yet he squints open his eyes, looking at Scott with a similar look of surprise, panic, and fear.

"Scott.?! What, what in the world are you, why are you here?!"

Scott clenches his jaw. It's generally against all hero protocol to see eachothers faces. Incase of a face off with someone with a mind reading power, or you're being tortured, the latter much more common, you don't want to give out a heros identity. Leaves a lot of room for danger. And so Scott can feel a sense of pure wrong, swirling in his stomach, snapping and bitting its way up. Leaving an uncomfortable taste in his mouth. But that is the last thing he is paying attention to as he drops to his knees infront of the fellow hero.

"Gods...just. dont move." Scott grits out from between his teeth, lifting up the fabric of his toga, and assessing the damage. It's bad. It's most definitely confirmed that he was impelled from the back, something large, and sturdy in the shape of a cone, straight up. 

In return to Scott words joel instantly tries to ignore Scott. The hands behind him try to push himself up, wobbling, and Scott almost thought he was gonna be able to sit up, at last, that's until his arms actually do collapse under him and he's falling backwards. 

And Scott swears he can't feel his heart anymore as he reaches out his arms, catching the man by the back and setting his down against the wall once more, wincing as he feels the outline of the wound.

"Don't need...don't need your stupid...bluming help" the man grunts out, and Scott can only think to himself how he ended up with such an idiot. "Let me heal you, god damn it!!" Scott barks out, unable to keep his voice steady as he's trying to move the toga, only for the man to once again try and move away. "Who did this to you?! There hasn't been any villains out at all today?!" Scott's voice is still sharp as he tries to pull the fabric from the wound. Joel hissing out his pain in turn.

And Scott attempts to avoid how the man doesn't answer.

Scott decided to lay one arm on the man's chest, pushing him back to the wood, while his other hand lays on his stomach. The faint colorful glow being admitted, finally causing the man to fully open his eyes. And it may be the absolute wrong time, but Scott's heart stops. He'll always admit to having a soft spit for Joel's eyes. The brown with hints of green, wherein looks like light is constantly shinning at them. A beautiful bronze color that leaves Scott swooning each time he sees them properly. Joels eyebrows are scrunched as he leans over Scott's arm to watch the colorful sparking. Before looking up to Scott with a sense of realization.

And when Joel's eyes meet Scott's.  And it feels like a great sweet moment. Different from most times. And Scott just wants to let the panic seep through him. He wants to kiss joel the second he isn't magically sewing his flesh back together. He wants to hold him, to ask him if hes ok, he wants to tell him to never do that again. He want to do so much. Then Joel ruins it of course. Cuz what else would the man do.

"I bluming hate you-" 

In Scott's defense, once you save your boyfriend's life, and then he immediately tells you, that he hates you at work, it's only natural for you to toss a twenty dollar bill at him, and tell him to find his own ride home. 

"SCOTT, I DIDNT MEAN IT, I PROMISE, PLEASE, BABE!!"

Joel's hands hit the door, voice nearly whiney as he attempts to get into their shared bedroom, of which he had been locked out of.

"I SAVED YOUR LIFE ASSHOLE, AND THEN YOU TELL ME YOU HATE ME?!"

"IT WAS THE BLOOD LOSS, BABE, IT WAS THE BLOOD LOSS"

"BLOOD LOSS MY ASS."

Scott would never admit it. But in the end, he had came out to the couch long after Joel fell asleep on it. When the man's hair curled in all sorts of ways, and he huddled up with the small throw blanket, and admittedly awful pillow.

Scott wouldn't admit it, and Joel wouldn't ask why he woke up in their shared bed.

[stupidloafofbread]

(guess who I am) so I was wondering what are your headcanons for the RT in ur AU? Maybe I missed that post or something cuz I never really got to know.😭

Sorry, just woke up! But yeah, I never actually said my headcanons for em lmao

It's still a work in progress but meh- Les go:

Helly headcanons!

- He has tons of blankets lmao

- He probably has like a million scratches or marks from missions

- He does, in fact, know how to work a gun (poli thought it was a good idea to teach him)

- He has ADHD (def not projecting myself onto him there-)

- If there's a version of cartoons in the Rcp world, Helly would watch them

- Goes by They/Them/He/Him/She/her (doesn't care what you use)

- Asexual and maybe trans?

Time for Poli

- From time to time he overworks himself to the point of just, fucking passing out

- He can use a gun (hence teaching Helly) but rarely does, cuz there's really no need to

- Can be a bit "hostile" when dealing with certain people. (I'll leave it up to y'all to figure out who or what I'm talking about)

- Honestly, he still fears caterpillars but not as much as he used to

- Nearly fucking froze outside before

- Goes by He/It

- Still figuring out his sexuality but identifies as Non-binary for now

Ight Time for Roy!

- Hug

- Will not hesitate to beat a bitch (only if they deserve it)

- Tends to lock himself in his room when he's sick or too tired

- tries to get everyone calmed down when something is going on with one of the RT members (take that thing with Helly for example)

- Has burn marks on his body, kinda like how Helly has scars from missions and/or rescues (I call them missions for some reason-)

- Goes by He/Him

- Bi

Amber time!

- She can perfectly throw a syringe right at someone's head, don't test her.

- Helly sees her as a big sister!

- She rarely gets mad, but when she does it's best to wait it out or just hide-

- She for some reason, has axe throwing skills

- Also will not hesitate to beat a bitch up

- Is probably the most trustworthy with secrets

- Goes by She/They

- Lesbian and Still figuring out gender

And time for Jin!

- Mother of the team

- Gets annoyed easily and tends to lash out at Helly but immediately apologizes for it

- Whenever she's bored, she'll go for a walk around the test track/lap thingy (idfk what it's called-) or the forest

- Sees some of the people in broomstown annoying af (and wishes they'd give the team a break from time to time)

- Personally likes tea more then coffee, but will drink coffee from time to time

- If any of the RT gets into a very sad state (Helly), she'll tell them to take a break and if they don't, she'll force em to

- Probably also has ADHD

- Goes by She/Her

- Also asexual

And idk if I'm missing anything or anyone!

That's about all I have!

[hwa-ae]

can u pls write hanjin and mute reader? hanjin's gf bully her but than he noticed and yada yada yada. Ty!

Promise —

: ̗̀⇢pairings: school au! hanjin x mute! reader

: ̗̀⇢synopsis: IN WHICH mute! reader gets bullied by hanjin's girlfriend, now ex-girlfriend, after he found out.

: ̗̀⇢genre: angst to fluff, sfw

: ̗̀⇢warnings: hanjin's girlfriend is really mean here, swearing, reader isn't specified to have a gender but is called a 'whore' once, written in lowercase on purpose, written in second person

"pathetic bitch who can't even speak! hah, you think you can steal my man? as if!" hanjin's girlfriend, jiwon, spat at you as she poured hot water, just below boiling, all over your head, causing you to whimper as the water dripped down your face.

"girls, let's teach this whore not to mess around with taken men, shall we?" jiwon laughed mockingly, kicking your stomach and stepping on your leg harshly.

you didn't even do anything, only tapping on hanjin's shoulders to ask for notes as you couldnt speak to get his attention, but apparently his girlfriend had other thoughts, thinking you were trying to flirt with him.

jiwon's minions proceeded to pull at your hair, stomping aggressively at your legs and stomach as they threw extra food they got from lunch at you. you tried to stop them, desperately, with futile attempts of shielding yourself from any attack from them. you made strange noises, in an attempt to get anyone's attention without words you couldnt speak.

"jiwon! what are you doing?" you heard a familiar voice call out as the door suddenly slammed open. it was hanjin.

"h-hanjin... i-i wasnt doing anything, i swear! i was helping her, really!" she sent you a threatening look for you to nod along and agree with her, which only caused hanjin to look at her disapprovingly.

"jiwon, i thought you were better than this. i cant believe you would bully a poor girl. i cant stand being with a bully, jiwon, lets break up." he stated simply as he shoved his way between jiwon's minions to help you up.

"what? you're breaking up with me? for this mute girl who cant even speak?" she pointed at you accusingly, eyes wide in disbelief.

"so what if she's mute? she has a better heart than you, and she would never bully someone like you did. i dont want to see you anymore, jiwon. let's end this peacefully, i dont want to fight. dont show up in front of me again." hanjin spoke quickly yet sternly, before leaving the room and the girls in shock.

he wrapped his arm around your waist, aiding you in your trip to the nurse's office as he apologised for his now ex-girlfriend's actions, which you replied that your fine in sign language.

"im sorry you had to go through that, [name]. i promise I'll help you whenever something like that happens, i wont let you go through that again..." hanjin apologised again as he held your hand gently once you reached the nurses office. the nurse tended to your wounds gently as hanjin supported you the entire time.

'thank you for your help. im alright now.' you signed to him once your wounds were bandaged. you waited for his response patiently, only to receive none. you looked up slowly, not knowing what's going on, only to be met with a warm and gentle hug.

"im always be here for you, [name] i promise."

Redbomb triplets trivias

Next friday if I manage my time correctly, the nine first pages of Daddy's Treasure, my webcomic about Buggy's offsprings, will be published on this blog. The panels are almost done, they juste need some shading & lettering.

To keep you waiting, have this trivia post about the Redbomb triplets

Blaze

As we stated many times before, he's stupid. Dumby dumbass, 0 braincell. Can't write his own name correctly. But ! He actually beat his siblings when it comes to emotional intelligence. Seing someone they love crying, Rory would sigh in annoyance, Skye would punch their shoulder playfully before trying to change the subject to something more lightly, but if you cry in front of Blaze you'll soon have a little redhair gremlin glued in your arms hugging you warmly (good luck getting rid of it)

Basically a golden retriver with extra ADHD. If he decides that he likes someone he will not go away from them.

Even if this person actually want him to go away, tho.

He's a biiiiiiig mama's boy, he's always glued in his mother arms.

Sometimes he put his hair in ponytail and try to make a resting bitch face to imitate Rory, which makes laugh everyone (except Rory)

Skye

Due to Reddie being a former strawhat, the crew is like extended family to the triplets.

Zoro and Skye get along well, Zoro teaching her a thing or two with swords.

In fact, it's possible, really possible, that Skye had a HUGE childhood crush on him - you know, those innocents crushes kids can have on cool teens around them sometimes.

Zoro was totally oblivious of it, of course.

"Hey look she offered me another drawing" (Nami tries to not giggle seeing her crewmate holding a kid drawing picturing Skye and Zoro in a flower field with swords) "Guess I'm the coolest babysitter huh ?" (It's really hard for Nami to not burst into laugh right now)

During a family dinner, after being babysitted by the strawhats, Skye didn't stop talking about Zoro - how fun he was, how skilled he was with swords etc etc.

Reddie playfully asked her "Hey, you're in love or what ?" and she made this exact face :

"He's gay, and he's an idiot. Don't waste your time." Rory said, not looking up from his dishes, making everyone around the table pretty much incomfortable for a moment.

Reddie had to explain the concept of childhood crush to Buggy because he was already ready to storm the Straw Hats for breaking his little tinkerbell's heart.

Later when this silly crush faded away, she understood she just admired swordmen and wanted to gain skills with blades

Probably understood that Zoro was effectively gay, too.

She started being glued to Mihawk whenever Buggy took her at work - pretty much to Mihawk displeasure, tho.

Rory

So we know that Rory get along well with Crocodile and with Shanks

The fact that it pisses off his father a TON make it even more enjoyable to him.

He actually seems to take great pleasure in sympathizing with people his father despite the most.

His polite tone and the way he talks brutal truth 24/24 with placid glances tends to make adults laugh a lot when he's around.

Rory has a very strict mental hierarchy when it comes to his family / the people he lives with, from the person he respects the most to the person he respects the less it would be : Himself, Reddie, Skye, Alvida, Buggy, the whole crew, Richie, Blaze.

But don't get it wrong, he loves his brother !

... in his very weird kind of way, though

While one of Rory's favorite hobbies is to fight with his brother and make him feel like an idiot, he would never let anyone else doing so.

Rory (rolling eyes) : Blaze you could become the richiest boy on earth if you rented the space between your ears.

Some crewmember : Aha you got it kid, your brother really is an idiot !

Rory (jumping on his feet, a hand on a smokebomb, ready to fight) : WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL MY BROTHER, SHITHEAD ?!

[toffee-and-tandoori]

on your side by the last dinner party is so rosquez coded, the vibe is “i shouldn’t love you but i do anyway and i’m so so attached to you and intertwined with you that despite everything if you called me and asked me to come over i would drop everything for you” and it fits PERFECTLY imo

oh. my. god. lee.

first of all i just want to take a moment to thank you for thinking of me with this and actually looking forward to seeing what i have to say. i tend to be a bit of a sap at times (especially when i get stressed with whatever - guess stress makes me sentimental?) but this truly means a lot to me <3

now for the song.

on its own it is so gorgeous. i genuinely cried while listening to it because the sentiment is so heartwrenchingly beautiful. especially when you really absorb the weight of the lyrics but also watch the music video where the girls are all leaning on one another (as a side note ‘prelude to ecstasy’ has been on my ‘to listen’ list ever since i heard ‘nothing matters’ on the radio and became immediately obsessed). no matter how hard it gets there's always someone to turn to.

and now for the rosquez of it all.

i don’t think anyone can deny how this is literally marc. as we both saw in that video, marc is literally “yeah...valentino may have randomly accused me of sabotage without a shred of actual evidence and subsequently tried to turn the whole fanbase against me...but god he’s such an incredible opponent and i’m so lucky to race with him <3”. like...marc...please stand up. (and then the fact that it happens again in argentina 2018. and misano 2019. and whenever valentino gets interviewed. and yet...marc will never deny valentino’s skill).

however, i’m a hopeless romantic who always wants a happy ending and believes in the possibility of reconciliation until my dying breath (yet i gravitate towards brocedes...towards pierresteban...towards rosquez...note to self to address this head-on someday...but not today!). which means that i will also choose to believe that this is also very much valentino.

no matter how much valentino talks about how marc’s riding style “destroyed the sport” (like okay bitch [affectionate? it’s complicated...] i’m pretty sure your younger self who thought casey was overreacting thinks you’re a sell-out), he never diminishes marc’s skill. valentino may regret this now but he once called marc the upgrade and as much as that scares him, i think a part of valentino still believes it. call me delusional (read: i am) but i think deep down a part of valentino will always be charmed by marc’s ways...because it reminds valentino of his younger self. 

that’s exactly what simultaneously endeared and frightened valentino in the first place and i am of the belief that that’s the foundation of rosquez and can therefore never change. marc and valentino are in many ways the same person and that’s what ties them together...whether they like it or not.

[richardsgraysons]

You know, I like your writing a lot and something I'd like to see more of from you (because it's super rare in the fandom :( ) is like.. Just sweet boi Dick.

Because don't get me wrong, I don't mind Dick Grayson being some flirty, touchy, generally more dominant guy.. But I feel like his actual comic character never really gave me those vibes??

I mean after the whole.. Tarantula thing (😬) he really strikes me as the type of guy to ask "Can I have a kiss?" Every single time he wants to kiss you, and "Hug?" Every time he wants a hug. The kinda guy that tries his best to ask whenever he touches you, "Can I put my hand here?" "Can I kiss you there?" "Is it okay if I take this off?" And, while he won't necessarily set it as a boundary, he appreciates when you do the same for him.

Because I feel like if his partner was ever all "Stop, it's too much..-" During intimacy, even though they probably meant it in the 'Don't-actually-stop-these-feelings-and-sensations-are-just-really-overwhelming-and-that-was-my-automatic-response' kinda way, he absolutely would. 100%.

Because he's heard those words before. He was the one saying them. And she didn't stop. And he wants to avoid ever making anyone else feel like that, even if he knows his partner probably didn't mean it that way.

I just feel like the fandom doesn't tend to characterize him like that very often?

Idk, just rambling! :D

op i SOOOO know what you mean

because a lot of the fandom tends to characterize him as this playboy, and he is in a sense, but not in a womanizing way as a lot of people think he is.

it's because he just has a pure heart. IRL, women don't go for douchebags who like flexing how many bitches they have or something. they go for kind people, consenting people. NONE of the batboys would touch you without your consent. except bruce in probably some sections ( not in a weird way, but like . . . in a more commanding way )

i also love the way someone finally mentioned his sexual assault from tarantula and i hate hate HATE how everyone forgets that. he literally went through so much only for it to be forgotten. and also how tf does everyone forget that bruce was also raped by talia al ghul? i keep seeing "i love talia al ghul" posts everywhere but she ... drugged bruce, did it without his consent, and then gave birht to damian, kept it a secret for ten years, and then dumped damian on him? just like that?

soft dick will be coming soon, dwdw. the amount of character.ai dick grayson bots i've been doing is giving me inspo for jock!dick grayson except he's adorable and sweet and helps the reader with her hw.

[lizhly-writes]

welp. another weird au for you.

Dinner tonight was healthier than what Chen Lihua would grab on her own, but then again, dinner was always healthier when her brother was in charge. He was always better about eating well. Eating poorly, according to him, would mean that they’d have less energy to beat the shit out of people who were bothering them, which, well. Fair point.

“Eat more,” Chen Liwei said irritably, dumping a heaping portion of tomato eggs into her rice bowl. “You normally eat more than this, what’s wrong with you? Do you suddenly hate my cooking now? Hey, are you sick?”

Chen Lihua swallowed down the absolute first thing she wanted to say --- stop fussing, you’re never going to be Mom --- and instead said, “I’m just thinking, it’s not like I’m not eating at all.

“I didn’t know that you could think,” Chen Liwei sniped.

“I’m just thinking,” Chen Lihua repeated, “that we need to kill Shang Chun.”

Chen Liwei paused, halfway through bringing a teacup to his mouth. Deliberately, he set it down with a soft click. “Why are we killing Shang Chun?”

Shang Chun was one of their coworkers at the absurdly nice fancy restaurant that they worked at. A decent worker that got good tips because he was good at sweet-talking the rich people that ate there. Chen Lihua and Chen Liwei had both been annoyed by it --- both the groveling and by how well it actually worked. What was his secret into groveling his way into luxury? They’d both like to know, and Chen Lihua would absolutely try to smile her way into getting the answer if Shang Chun wasn’t scum.

“I don’t like the way he looks at you,” she said.

Chen Liwei scoffed. “If we killed everybody who looked at us weird, we’d be alone on this planet.”

This was true. A lot of people gave them weird looks. This was because they tended to have very strong opinions upon meeting either of the Chen twins. Unnaturally so, Chen Lihua had thought. She had spent some time wondering if they were cursed by the universe. Their relationships… never turned out great.

Speaking of which.

“Shang Chun likes you,” Chen Lihua said.

It was obvious enough. Longing looks, that eager way he stood to attention whenever Chen Liwei needed something. Shang Chun, out of all their coworkers, hung around Chen Liwei the most. He actually tried talking to Chen Liwei on a regular basis, despite the obvious downsides of Chen Liwei’s entire personality, and the one time he’d said something funny enough to make Chen Liwei laugh, Shang Chun had spent the rest of the day looking like he’d achieved nirvana.

It would be cute, if the Chen twins weren’t the Chen twins.

‘Like?’ That was too neutral of an emotion. ‘Love?’ As if they were that lucky.

There was no such thing as a happy ending for the Chen twins. Six years of disaster had taught them well.

“The fuck are you talking about,” Chen Liwei said, and then, a little more thoughtfully, “hmm.”

“And that’s why we have to kill him,” Chen Lihua said. “Before he starts with the crazy.”

It was nice being liked. Being loved, for a short while. People could be sweet, when they wanted to be, all beautiful words and gentle touches. It felt good, having someone think you were important, precious, the best thing in the world.

And then it would go horribly wrong.

Chen Liwei took it harder than Chen Lihua. For all that Chen Lihua was outwardly nicer, it was Chen Liwei that was the optimist. Chen Lihua found silver linings; it was a different thing than having hope. For all that he bitched, there was still that little tiny part of him that hoped things would be better. It was, oh, maybe about 2% of him, that hoped that maybe this time would be different --- that maybe their newest suitor wouldn’t turn into an obsessive maniac or die a horrible death.

It had never happened so far. Chen Liwei got so angry whenever people disappointed him like this. He was losing hope. Chen Lihua wished he would lose it quicker; the more he hoped, the more he was setting himself up for disappointment.

You took what the universe gave you. If it was some infatuated fool longing for their company for a few months, fine --- enjoy the attention while you could, and sharpen your axe for when it started going bad.

After all, the only people the Chen twins could ever trust were each other.

“Murder is illegal,” Chen Liwei said, one corner of his mouth turning down. He’d been fond of Shang Chun. Chen Lihua had been fond of Shang Chun, too, but she’d known better than to get attached.

“Aw, did you like him back,” Chen Lihua jeered, and ducked when he swatted at her head.

“Shut up, who likes who?” Chen Liwei snapped. “Fucking as if.”

“Getting so worked up when I say we need to kill him,” Chen Lihua said.

Chen Liwei snorts. “What, you've got a plan?”

“I’m just saying. It’s only illegal if we get caught.”

[f0point5]

People do tell me I'm beautiful, but usually I don't get that kind of attention from anyone, maybe once in a blue moon. I do wonder what it is because?? Do I seem unapproachable? Is it the height? Do I just not notice? Idk if someone tried to ask me out I'd assume they're trying to prank me because I'm just not the kind of girl that kinda stuff happens to.

Whenever I get approached in public it’s by the most overly confident and creepy people 😂 probably because I have a resting bitch face and I always have earphones in so if you come up to me you must be a bit insane.

I feel like approaching people is so unusual nowadays though. I don’t think it’s all about how attractive you are, I think it also has to do with how attainable you come across. Because men are terrified of getting rejected, they only tend to shoot their shot when they feel they have a reasonable chance of success/not getting called a creep in public.

Also depends where you are, because different cultures are more/less accepting of talking to strangers. I find in Italy you are wayyyy more likely to get approached in public than the UK, for example.

But it’s more important what and who you want than who wants you, that is for sure
