I have no DNI but I block freely!! I also am pro RPF and proship ("ship and let ship") so like,, if u wanna block me about that u should do dat- I don't post dark content really or consume it because I don't like to personally?? so that won't be on my blog!!! But it's worth noting I support people's right to MAKE that content, and i don't think someone making or consuming dark content means they condone it IRL.

I don't know too much about your ocs,(and it was hard to find names, sorry) but I'm curious, so the third one if they were all in alphabetical order in their Pyjamas😴 (only if you want to obviously)

while I didn't draw all my characters (that would take a LONG time lol) I drew some of my more well known ones on the blog!

Some lil sleeping bits if ya don't mind:

Tenebris kinda has old-fashioned pajamas, with the night gown and striped shirt and jazz. I was tempted to draw one of those caps on them but I decided not to. They like to have their hair tied up by assistants so it's not as much of a mess in the morning. And they MUST have a glass of water before sleeping, no exceptions.

Brittany wears cutesy (and usually pricey) night dresses or t-shirt and shorts. She especially loves pairs with frills, lace or fluff. She has a long routine of doing her face and hair and teeth before going to bed, so she takes a while before she actually sleeps. Brittany also owns a huge collection of toys and plushies that she keeps around her like a barricade.

Valerie has tried to adjust to sleeping at night to blend in with people, but sleeps a lot better during the day. She wouldn't wear anything elaborate, just a top and tracksuit legs do just well for her. She listens to white noise to help her sleep.

Zeke likes to wear fluffy/thick, long sleeved pajamas to keep him warm. And he sleeps with a lot of blankets and pillows. He goes to bed the earliest of the three siblings- and sleeps the best.

Natalie's sleeping schedule is wonky since she tends to go out with friends at night. So, coming back home, she just throws on whatever she finds first and snoozes in that. Natalie's also the kind of person to wake up with half the blanket on the floor and sleeping upside down. She snores loudly.

Onika wears oversized t-shirts and shorts, and has her hair tied up as always. She goes to sleep fairly easily, but wakes up extremely early all the time. She likes to sleep up high, so she has a bunk bed. She uses the bottom bunk to dump all her stuff onto.

Choco Fish Cookie isn't too picky about what she wears to bed but likes night gowns. She reads a few pages of a book and hums to herself to help her fall asleep. She doesn't own any toys, so she hugs a pillow instead while she's sleeping. She's slept with her eyes open once or twice before.

Cici struggles sleeping a LOT. She has a mixture of maintenance insomnia and sleep apnea and sleeps for very few hours in a week. She keeps a nightlight on in her bedroom at all times. You'd most likely spot her in the kitchen making herself toast.

[dotster001]

Hello Dot! Congratulations on 1.5k followers. I am very excited for your matchup event! May I have a request for matchup type 1 with Ensemble Stars? I'm sorry if this is a little bit long...

My name is Dawn. I'm an INFP-T girl who likes cute and pretty things. I enjoy drawing and designing costumes. I like listening to music and singing. I'm rather wild if left to my own devices (because I like rock and niche edm), but if someone tells me to sing for them I'd be really shy (lol). I also like sweets, and sometimes I go on walks after school to find cute stores and cafes to visit. I like cute animals too, like cats and dogs and bunnies. I like all colors, but my favourite is pastel colors or bright colors like hot pink and cyan. I figured I crave cuddles and kisses too, even though I never really got a lover to test if I really enjoy these activities.

I dislike loud noises, and I'd get overstimulated and nervous if left for a long time in a noisy environment. I also dislike mean people, or those who act in a threatening behavior in general. I don't hate cold weather, but I get cold really easily and it's quite annoying. I have insomnia and find it hard to sleep and as a resuot I'm quite sleep deprived 😔.

Ummm small story about me, had a rough childhood because my classmates and parents were pretty mean to me, and for a long time I was afraid of being judged and hurt, so I bottled up my feelings and closed myself off. But I realized it would be lonely and sad if I just drown in negative feelings, and that instead I should heal and use my understanding and experience with being hurt to comfort others, and be kind and strong no matter what.

I seek a partner who is gentle, affectionate and loyal. And maybe someone who'd let me draw silly doodles on their hands or notebook (I'm sorry, it's one of the things I must to in my lifetime).

Thank you very much and congratulations again! Have a wonderful day!

(hey Dawn Idk if you're bi/pan, or not, but I genuinely thought this was the perfect match for you. If you want a different one though, let me know! I won't be offended!)

I match you with Arashi Narukami.

Just two cute girls living their cute girl life? Yes! Going to cute cat cafes, buying cute outfits for each other, living their cutesy life? Excellent!

Arashi enjoys making costumes! I can totally see you drawing and designing stuff together, then making them together. She's proud to show off her skills, while at the same time is more than excited that you are so creative!!!! Design matching cute looks for the both of you. She might die. (Or squeeze you to death in the tightest hug you've ever felt)

She's a cuddler. I've decided. She likes to hold you close, and feel your heartbeat against hers. In cold weather she'll do this to keep you warm, but she also just does this when she's noticing your having trouble sleeping. She'll sing new Knights lyrics she's been working on under her breath, and will rub your back, until you, hopefully, drift off.

Arashi's job means the both of you have to go to loud places sometimes. But she's really good at feeling the needs of those around her. So she'll make sure to keep an eye on you. If it looks like it's getting to be too much, she'll make her graceful exit, causing all the fangirls to swoon over your loving knight.

Your dream is to doodle on her notes and her hand? Sweetheart, she's so in! When she has music rehearsals, sometimes they can be long and grueling, especially if the harmonies aren't going exactly as they should. But it makes it easier when she flips the page, and there's a little gift from you. If you guys are in a loud place, and she can't get you out of there, that's when she'll offer a pen and her hand as distraction for the time being. Again, the fangirls are SIMPING.

Your face was pressed to her chest, so that you could hear her heartbeat. She ran her fingers through your hair and absentmindedly hummed a song. Sometimes this would work. Sometimes, her scent, heartbeat, and voice would help you drift off. Today was not "sometimes".

"Rashi?" You looked up and she opened her eyes, as though she was starting to drift off instead.

"Hm?"

"I don't think this is gonna work tonight," you whispered.

She nodded and shifted, like she was going to separate from you. So, naturally, you buried yourself deeper against her.

"Alright," she laughed, "What does my Dawn want to do instead?"

"You're warm," you muttered, making her laugh again.

"I thought this wasn't working?"

"That doesn't mean I want to stop cuddling. It just means I'm not sleeping!"

"Fair point. Do you just want to chat then? Or…"

She pulled out the pen she always keeps on hand, and gave it to you before brandishing the back of her hand.

"My perfect knight," you laughed, beginning to doodle.

"Don't forget it," she teased

[toadstool32]

Ok I'm in bed time to write about my silly little guy

HAHA it's a lot ✌️

First image top left I made a lil diagram to show the differences design wise on how I draw darling and how I draw myself mainly that the no glasses version has darling with kind of a goofy face (u gotta make the eyes look at nothing!!) My dad says I have a goofy look w/o my glasses on bc i can't focus on where to look lol but I always draw myself w glasses Homestuck style that's my vibe they're stuck to my face. But for design sake I just put a tired look on

For the difference between the glasses version in the lil hair clips on darling otherwise it's literally the same. Ah but I tend to draw myself with no mouth while darling has the cat mouth. Slight differenceeeess.

Top right literally two self portraits love and peace

In the middle it's just the difference in dynamic regarding karamatsu aka karadari so sweeeeet hug hug!!! Lovely friends <3 I personally wanna take a bite of him it doesn't even have to be sexual it can be if he wants but it doesn't HAVE to be I wanna [I am forcibly dragged away from my phone] he's like my personal pin up doll I wanna see him in silly outfits and on his knew begging. For what? Idk man. Do I have to put a label on this post.man

Bottom left darling :3. Bottom right me but silly. It's me tiny yr friend tiny <obsessed w that line.

Uhhh second pic r expressions!!!

Darling kinda puts on a mask and by putting on I mean removes thyr glasses so everything is out of focus and not so scary yay for not having to maintain proper eye contact <3

First is a neutral face. Darling puts on a smile and keeps it all the time he's just a silly guy! W the glasses on they don't have to smile too hard n the cat mouth is kinda stuck now they r chill.

For a confused face if darling is out and about with ppl they just do the airhead act when they don't get something and is confronted about it (otherwise they just fake they know stuff "yes and " king of improv) if they act cutesy whoever is asking might go easy and explain. If they're just hanging out darling will just straight tell u they don't get shit tactless king 👑

Darling has a infinite patience bc they are also kind of a lot to deal with hey she gets it. No use getting mad at stuff. However they can get tired of u if u r being a dick but they will avoid confrontation n try to keep on smiling. if they're hanging out and they get irritated about something u Will Know, still have lots of patience but will actually let it out on you instead of grinning and bearing it. They're a forget not forgive kinda guy so if u did something real bad they will remember later and will curse you out when that happens but mostly tries to keep a good attitude! Dont mind!!!

Happy!!! Darling laughs at everything they're just a silly happy lil guy but while playing up the "happy persona" they will sound kinda fake? Anime girl teehee kinda laugh when Not playing up the airhead act they do like a deadpan laugh like they're so tired they don't have the energy to laugh. But they still laugh bc u said a funny :) a friend once told me I laugh like fenneko from agretsuko so if u need a reference maybe that 👍 they can laugh out loud real hard but u have to caught them off guard laugh so hard it Hurts <3

For the sad one darling will try to hide if they're upset by distracting u or changing the topic. Will try to distract themselves and try to have a good time or forget why they're upset up until they can't do that anymore but theyr face gets red and it would hard for them to speak so u Know something is wrong. Probs thought about their thesis.i also cry when I think about it. When they let it out they're a messy crier. All kicking and screaming v v ugly. Doesn't happen very often but when it does it's all so dramatic

Top right second pic! A transition of sorts <3 darling wears flowy clothes they would wear comfy shit n stuff that shows skin bc it's comfy and the movement on the fabric is just fun! They get cold easily so a big sweater for when they get cold or in this case tired of being social they can just hide. Being too long without the glasses also makes them grumpy cause they can't.see. so it's full on back in the cave mode.if ur close they will keep hanging out just with less energy if this is a social thing or a work thing they'll try to bail. Hit the bricks Dari!!

And the last one!! I love when a guy is two dudes auughh. I overbalanced my simple design of literally drawing myself by making it a double form kinda think. Max said that it's like a pokemon w a second form on low HP and YES it's like that

Ok that's all wow that got long

made doodles to show the differences between darling and me design wise and also some expressions bc i need to show u how this guy works do you see my vision

[marshmallowprotection]

Hey Kait, so what's your initial opinion on the Ssum? Personally I'm a bit underwhelmed by it, but it's not the fault of the game itself. It's just not my format tbh

I enjoy games with a definitive story and complex characters who get to interact with one another, and while it's highly possible there's more to the Ssum than meets the eye, I just do not find much joy in chatting with a single AI, even if Teo seems really realistic. Obey me is a good example, cause it has a ton of different features, but at the same time, it has many characters who each have a different story and share complex relationships with each other.

It's nice seeing everyone so excited and happy though :)

This is gonna be my thoughts so don't take it too seriously. It's just what I'm feeling right now. I'm happy if people are having fun and out here to explore a new game!

It's an overwhelming format with so much information thrown at you all at once that it makes it hard to understand what's going on and all the things that you need to do. It's not the kind of format I'm used to either, but I'm sure you could get used to it over time. You would just have to be committed to the process. But, it'd have to pull you in with a good hook. Is it doing that for me? No. It's not done it and I doubt it will.

I understand why Cheritz put in more ads and ways to pay for bonus content but I do not like the fact that you'll have to pay to download photos and other content when so much of that was free in Mystic Messenger. A lot of content in-game is clearly enhanced by the pay option and $19.99 a month isn't worth it in my eyes. It just puts this sour taste in my mouth about how the world shifted to "pay for little pieces of a game instead of paying a base price for everything."

I would rather pay Cheritz $50-100USD if need be for a full game to play if that's the case because $19.99 a month is $239.88USD a year. Who has that kind of money? For reference, I could literally buy the RFA Box, the Special Believer Box, and an emoji pillow for that price, including shipping.

Everyone has to get paid for working on a project like this, I am all for that, but at some point, certain options in F2P games wind up feeling predatory instead of straight-forward. Mystic Messenger has a great system for F2P. You pay to do chats faster, call without paying for the hourglass, and unlock cutesy bonus content. The SSUM has a lot of basic features with "buy more energy to get this!" You can feel that it isn't the same set-up.

Maybe I'm spoiled by Mystic Messenger in terms of what you can get for free but...

Hell, you can pay to get Dandelion and Nameless on Stream together for a decent price if you want to pay another Cheritz game without this money nonsense. If I am paying that much a freaking month to get content, I better be seeing Teo do all sorts of things for me all the time. I'd have to love Teo for that.

Teo has a personality that I'm not too sure about and I'm very picky about Otome characters. I need a hook to draw me in and he's not hit one immediately. I'm picky. I like a compelling universe where I have a cast of characters that I can find myself with and explore. Teo is one guy, and while he's got a mystery to unravel that I already have a lot of thoughts and theories on, I don't know if he'll be worth the effort to me at this point. That could change, though.

I play Obey Me and even though the Gacha system isn't the best for games, that one is very polite with you. It gives free pulls every one to two days, and there are means to unlock and get items without you having to pay unless you really want to do that. I feel like paying for content if it's an option shouldn't force you to pay for what should be standard. This is a problem with video games right now a lot so don't get me wrong, I'm not humming and hollering because The SSUM is doing this by itself.

I hate paying for DLCs and stuff in games that get patched in when I would happily wait a long time for a full game to come out. Like, ah, Sword and Shield for Pokemon, you have to pay for the Post-Game arc. You never had to do that before. You got it with the game and that was that. They held events to let you buy or pick up a code to get a legendary event, sure! But, that wasn't going to take away from the gameplay. It's just bonus.

I want people to get paid what they're due for making games but players shouldn't feel like they're being baited into paying for stuff. Video games are just different than they once were. It's a complicated thing and I don't really want discourse or debates right now since I'm just sharing my thoughts, lmao. So, I'll leave it at that.

I appreciate the interface, I like the art style and that the MC avatars in-game look so cute. There's potential in this game if you really want to look for it and find it. They put a lot of labor and time into this one game and I can appreciate that. It took a long time for a reason and I hope the mysteries of the game become unraveled soon.

I can't say I'll be super invested in The SSUM. I didn't think I'd be anyway, since the pay-to-play stuff didn't cut it for me. Teo just isn't a character that excites me. Who knows? He's just a guy. He might be your guy someday! He seems cute and cheeky. I'm just looking for a game with a lot of characters that I can love. Teo seems to be many characters in one but ah, I'll save those theories for later.

The one thing I can appreciate is that you can plug the RFA members into the game. [You can plug in everyone with a Route + Vanderwood, for some reason, Rika isn't an option.] I'll put my Ray, Unknown, and Saeran here.

Ray misses me, that's all I care about.

June 2021 Roundup

It's been a month of highs and lows. Every year my city holds a cabaret festival, and I've seen some truly amazing acts over the years - including Lea Salonga, Kristin Chenoweth, and Indina Menzel. This year's Artistic Director was the great Alan Cumming, and although due to covid he didn't quite get to curate the program he wanted to, the opening night Gala was still a highlight, as was Alan's DJ set at the pop-up Club Cumming afterwards, where there was much singing at the top of my lungs and dancing to pop anthems and theatre tunes. At one point Alan, dressed in a onesie and perched on the shoulders of a man wearing only sparkly short shorts, was carried around the dance floor while Circle of Life blared. Reader, I was delighted.

I was also able to see his solo show Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, which was hilarious and damn, he can sing!

As for the low, I was meant to fly to Sydney for the weekend to see Hamilton, a trip I have been looking forward to for almost a year, but had to be cancelled because of a covid outbreak and border closures. The tickets have been rescheduled, but I'm still kind of bummed about it (while completely appreciating the need for covid safety, especially when our vaccine rollout has been completely botched by our incompetent, corrupt federal government)

Anyway.

Reading

The Hundred and One Dalmations (Dodie Smith) - With all the bewilderment over Disney's Cruella, I decided to revisit the original novel which I first read as a kid. It's funny, I had very vivid memories of this book, or rather thought I did, particularly the scene where Roger and Anita have dinner at Cruella's house that fixed in my young mind as utterly disturbing with all this devil imagery and the implication Cruella was literally some kind of demon, which must have been either a) my overactive imagination or b) an illustration, because it's not as clear as I thought it was. The strangeness is there (food with too much pepper, Cruella's inability to keep warm, the walls painted blood red) but not the explicit demon imagery I had remembered. There is a part later in the book recounting the history of Hell Hall and the rumors of Cruella's ancestor streaking out of the place conjuring blue lightening, but clearly child me was reading far more into the book than was on the page.

But I still wish they'd gone with this version of Cruella's backstory, because to me an aristocratic, ink-drinking, heat-obsessed, possibly-demon spawn, high camp villain is more interesting and rings far more true than plucky punk against the establishment.

Smith clearly had Facts About Dalmations to share, and she does really craft a wonderful animal-based story that the Disney animated film is largely faithful to. Key differences include: Roger's occupation (he doesn't have to pay tax because he wiped out government debt somehow?!?), Pongo's mate and the puppy's mother is called Missis, Perdita is another dalmation who acts as a kind of doggie wet nurse, Roger and Anita both have Nannies who come to live with them (Nanny Butler and Nanny Cook), Cruella is married to a furrier (who changed his last name to de Vil). Also odd, on her first description Cruella is described as having "dark skin" but later in the novel her "white face" is mentioned, so I'm chalking it up to 50's descriptors not having the same meanings they do today.

The Duke and I (Julia Quinn) - After being just whelmed by the tv series, I wasn't really planning on reading the books, but I saw this on the top picks shelf at the library and damn, the top picks shelf is irresistible. This is very much Daphne's book (and I had known each in the series dealt with the different sibling) so many of the characters and much of the plot of the show is absent, as are some of the more baffling elements of the show like the Diamond of the First Water nonsense, which I always thought was a strange character choice in that it stacks the deck for Daphne when her character arc is better served as somewhat of an underdog (in her third season, the kind of girl who is liked but not adored), and the Prince subplot which was always far too OTT even for soapy regency romance.

It's a breezy, fun read (that scene excepted), even if the misunderstandings are contrived and I'm never going to take "I'll never have kids because I hate my dad" as a credible romantic obstacle deserving of so much angst.

Faeries (Brian Froud and Alan Lee) - A lovingly detailed and illustrated compendium of Faerie and its inhabitants, drawing from a range of European (but primarily Celtic) folklore and mythology. Froud was a conceptual designer on The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and the link is clear in the art as well as the focus on faeries as mysterious but oftimes sinister beings, where human encounters with them rarely end well. Lee has illustrated several publications of Tolkien's novels, and was a lead concept artists for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, and there is a touch of Middle Earth here as well, or rather the common inspiration of the old world. A useful resource for my novel!

Watching

The Handmaid's Tale (season 4, episodes 4-8) SPOILERS - So when I last wrote about this show in the Roundup, I was complaining it wasn't going anywhere. Well, I'm happy to be wrong because they finally changed things up with June finally escaping to Canada. That part of the plot following the survivors and their trauma has always been far more compelling than Gilead, and so it was a welcome development even if I side-eye some of the choices (none of these characters is seeing an actual licensed therapist why?).

This show has always been difficult to watch given the subject matter, and that has not changed after the shift in power dynamics. I will give the show credit for showing a broad range of trauma responses, from Moira wanting to move on and not let it consume her, to June, a ball of rage and revenge on a downward spiral, to Emily, trying to follow Moira's path but being drawn to June's, to Luke, trying his best but utterly unequipped to deal with what is happening.

But it is very hard to watch June go down this path - raping her husband (I concede the show perhaps didn't intend for it to be rape, but that's what is on screen and framing it as just "taking away Luke's agency" doesn't change that), wishing death on Serena's unborn child, and orchestrating Fred's brutal murder by particulation, then holding her own daughter still covered in his blood and it getting smeared on Nicole's face (an unsubtle metaphor in a series full of unsubtle metaphors).

There are interesting questions being asked of the viewer, and the show (perhaps rightly) not giving any answers. I can certainly appreciate the catharsis of Fred getting what he deserves even if I personally find the manner of it horrifying, but where is the line between justice and revenge, is revenge the only option when justice is denied, when does a trauma release become cyclical violence/abuse - the show is, for now, letting the viewer decide.

Soul (dir. Pete Docter and Kemp Powers) - In a world full of remakes/reboots/sequels, Pixar is perhaps the lone segment under the Disney umbrella committed to original content. However, there does seem to be a Pixar formula at work directed to precision tugging the heart strings, and some of the film feels like well-trod ground. On the other hand, it's hard to criticise the risk of centering a kids film around the existential crisis of a middle aged man, even with the requisite cutesy elements (and of course, the uncomfortable pattern of yet another film where the black lead character spends a great deal of the runtime in non-human form - herein, an amorphous blob or a cat). But the animation is stunning, it successfully did tug my heart strings, and the design of the Great Before and the Jerrys is original and fun.

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under - Drag Race is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me, since I generally don't watch reality shows, and this is something I really enjoy even if I'm not invested in the fandom (which like many fandoms can be very yikes). This year it was time for the Australian/New Zealand (Aotearoa) queens to show their stuff, although it's been met with mixed reactions. Covid restrictions didn't allow for guest judges, relegating them to mere cameos via video calls, and its clear that Ru and Michelle really don't quite get all the cultural nuances - Aussie judge Rhys Nicholson was however always delightful. But it wouldn't be Australia without a racism scandal, with the great disappointment of the two queens of colour eliminated first, and one queen having done blackface in the recent past yet making it all the way to the top four.

In the end, the only viable and deserving winner was last Kiwi standing Kita Mean, and it was pure joy to see her get crowned. I do hope they fix the bugs and indeed do another season to better showcase AU/NZ talent.

Writing

A far more productive month - to try and get out of my writing funk I had a goal to try and write every day, even if it was only 100 words. While I didn't quite achieve a consecutive month, I did get a pretty good average, at least got something posted and two others nearly there.

The Lady of the Lake - 2441 words, Chapter 4 posted.

Against the Dying of the Light - 2745 words

If you still do matchups, can I request a drv3 and yttd one? I don't mind what gender, I'm a 5"1 female, I enjoy watching anime, playing animal crossing, and drawing digitally. I'm very shy and awkward around most people, but when Im talking to people I'm close with, I'm cheerful and loud, another thing about me is that I'm terrified of large crowds, that's all, thank you

I ship you with...

YUMENO HIMIKO

Himiko is a very laid back, lazy and chill person, while also being kinda childish, so I’m sure she’d love cutesy and relaxing video games, like Animal Crossing, and and maybe short time management games like Dinner Dash and whatever.

I can see her visiting your Animal Crossing island pretty often, to hang out with you, even if she’s right next to you in real life, and will give you lots of small gifts.

Cuddling together with you and watching movies, tv series, cartoons and anime is definitely a habit of yours now by now, but would most likely fall asleep in your arms, ‘cause she’s so comfy and warm.

She finds it amazing how great you can draw, especially digitally, and would save all your drawings in his phone and laptop, and more, to keep you entertained, or give you inspiration, she will do all magic tricks she knows to amaze you.

Himiko gets that you’re shy and socially awkward, she sort of feels like an outcast many times, so she will stay by your side all the time, so that if nobody wants to talk to you, even among friends, you’ll at least have the comfort of her presence.

She’s a bit of a push-over many times, but when it comes to you, she feels the need to step up and protect you, in a way, so she will make sure you’re okay if you ever have to go through a huge crowd, and will try to keep your distracted as much as possible.

It’s true that she may fall asleep if you talk too much about things you’re passionate about, but she always remembers what you talked about while she was awake, and will ask you random stuff about things she knows you’re passionate about.

I ship you with...

RANMARU

Ranmaru is an easy-going guy, going with the flow with most things, getting along with most people, so it’s needless to say that he quickly got along with you, quickly working around your shyness and awkwardness, almost as if it never was there to begin with.

He will share his love for movies with you, while you tell him about what anime you like, so you can discuss about everything, and maybe even watch together some of them.

He wouldn’t go out of his way to buy a Switch and Animal Crossing, but would like to watch you play it, since he finds it relaxing and peaceful, and gets it why you like it, and he thinks it suits you as well - And your character is so cute!

Something that he admires a lot is your talent and hard-work when you draw, and he occasionally just stays there and watches you draw, being fascinated by the process, by the sketching, the layering, the colour choosing, the blending, the brushes and whatever techniques you use, since it’s a subject in which you can always get even more educated.

Ranmaru finds it adorable how you get louder and more talkative, visibly happier and more cheerful with each day you spend together, and it’s clear that you’re getting more comfortable with his presence.

Knowing your fear of crowds, he will go out of his way to hold your hand and speak cutesy to you, despite the fact that he will get heavily flustered from this act of intimacy, but he has to pull through, for you!

Hello! May I have a tokyo revengers matchup if your request box is still open?

My positive traits are being sunny, honest, unselfish and hardworking. I try to see the best in people and compliment/encourage them a lot. My friends say I’m humorous yet pretty relaxed. I can calm others down easily, but I can also be playful just for fun. I smile very often and it’s really easy to make me laugh! My mbti type is enfj/infj.

I’m good at learning and memorizing things easily, so I use this skill to get good grades in school and remembering small details about traits and trivial facts about people I like. I value doing my best to achieve many things and making sure i can enjoy a lot of things at the same time.

My bad trait is that I‘m sensitive to other people's judgements. I'm afraid of being a nuisance to people or making mistakes in front of others. So I can sometimes do what I don't want to do to avoid making bad impression on others.

My favorite hobby is drawing. Because I like nature, my sketchbook has many drawings of plants and animals. I love to go outside and take a long walk in nature while listening to music on sunny days.

I love cute things. I’m in love with soft girl aesthetics, and I like stuffs that are normally considered cute (like animals and plushies). But even if there is no special reason, I tend to naturally think that anything/anyone I like is super cute. (If I keep saying someone’s cute that means I’m ready to love them) The love language I would give are words of affirmation and acts of service!

Thank you so much for reading🌷💕

Hi, hello, and sup! Thank you so much for the request and I really hope you enjoy it! I apologize for the wait! +++++++++++++++++++++++++

Your matchup is… (insert really aggressive drumroll*)

Manjiro Sano “Mikey”

Your happy and bright attitude will never fail to attract Mikey to you! The smile that’s on your face just makes him light up and an immeasurable amount of joy! Mikey can be very selfish and childish so someone to control his selfish tendencies would be such a big help for all of Mikey’s friends. Mikey adores hardwiring people as you know, once he sees you determined and working you got him on a fishing line. Most of the time he will be so absorbed in your opinion about him, that he wants to make sure he’s making the right choices around him so compliments would help him sleep at night. He needs someone that has a little sense of humor, he makes a little too many jokes at times… a cool-headed person is very calming to him. Mikey needs to be calmed down so much you would be such a relief to be around because of your skills.

Please tutor or help Mikey T-T. He’s not smart but he’s also not the dumbest… he’s still not very average either. He would quickly become interested in your hardworking and devoted habits when Mikey’s interested you are in for a ride.

Mikey knows he can’t really judge people due to some choices and actions in his life. Mikey could never judge especially someone like you due to your joyful attitude. Mikey will always make sure you don’t get to a point where you are hurting yourself for him. He would notice your habit of working hard to get a good first impression and he would insist you in anyway possible!

Mikey would be so impressed with your drawing skills! He would ask if you could Maybe teach him or he w could just watch you draw. Drawing is so therapeutic to Mikey it helps calm his nerves so much. Mikey would loves to go on peaceful walking with you. Mikey would listen to a playlist of your favorite songs during any time he’s free.

Mikey thinks your cute girly aesthetic is adorable. Mikey will indulge himself in your girly aesthetic when alone with you. Mikey does own a pink hello kitty onesie. Mikey will go to arcades with you just to get you plenty of cutesy plushies. Mikey will compliment you a little too much.. it’s practically every ten minutes he’ll text/ tell you a compliment. Mikey would buy anything and do anything you ask him to.

AAHHHHH helloo I'm back I'm here new medroom chapter just updated so ofc I am it's tradition now /jj

ANYWAYS. GOD FREAKING HELL you did not have to dump that load of sweet SWEET angst on me LAPIS DUO MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED WHYYYY.

Ok so before I go into ranting mode I have to ask who Thunder is :00, I checked the first chap, I tried to think of people who would fit it nothing fits man. I thought it was Foolish at first but that dude's name is Totem HMMMM.

Now that we have that out of the way *breathes*

Firstly the dynamic between Ant, Velvet and Ponk? ABSOLUTE GOLD. They are like the friends with that attitude of "Only I can bully my best friend if you bully my best-friend I will BEAT YOU UP" and I am all hear for it.

So tempted to draw the scene of Ant shooting water up Ponk's nose it was so unsuspectedly funny I cannot dude. Also the marker scene it was so cute, the way you portray their friendship really shows how comfortable they are with each other, and that just makes me so incredibly happy what???

Also actually using my extremely big brain literary knowledge, the marker is definitely the small detail that turns into the turning point of the plot and thats very very cool ayoo??

Now to Lapis Duo. Why did you have to do this to me?

Lately I have been reading lots of top tier Lapis Duo fanfic and it's almost like you saw all of the fluff and cutesy-ness of the fanfic I consumed and be like "but what if it was angst? BUT what if I just give Nou a reality check and remind her about the post-Banquet break up they have, the burnt bridge, then the apologies??"

Hits a bit too hard man. But also even if Lemon is my favorite, I am very bias indeed and also he's totally misunderstood and stuff (also everytime you write him panicking I just cannot- /pos ) I still cannot hate Totem.

I get what they feel man. Thats why it hurts so much bro.

Captain was absolutely such a rude middle aged woman /pos. Especially in like with the way Warden recounts her actions, like trash talking about Lemon leaving (which is rude bro shush he was having a mental breakdown you oblivious little-) for 7 hours PFFFF.

But I still like her though. The rude middle aged gossipy woman vibes she's giving off rn? YASSS!

Damn now THIS is long. I wanna say a bit more about all the short stories you've been posting and how it reminds me of the fluffy Awesamponk drabbles back in Feb 2021, good times.

Either way, this is long as hell, I blame it on me using a laptop, I'm somewhat done, FAREWELL!!

kjkfjsdak;jakld first of all thank you so much

second! thunder is jack manifold. i mustve forgotten to add him to the list. hes literally just a dude though the public thinks hes just got terrible terrible luck because he keeps being where niki is lmao

i promise foolish's gonna get better. i have very strong feelings about him actually. theyre gonna enemies to friends it. (everybody currently involved with investigating crimson is having a lot of trauma dredged up rn.) foolish has also been bringing eret and puffy to ponk for years, and they've had some close calls. the idea that one of them could die and ponk wouldn't even do anything even though she absolutely could is........... not foolish's favorite thought. (ponk is also... a bit of an outlier in the way her powers manifest - she got the short end of the stick in repercussions.) (i... do not watch puffy very much so im glad youre enjoying her vibes. i gave her more petty energy than she usually has i think kekw)

to ant, velvet and ponk - i am so glad people are enjoying their dynamic! i love writing them. theyre friends your honor. (even if ponk wont admit it lol) they are Important to me. (if you drew art i think i would legitimately keel over)

also yes. the marker was a turning point. yes. mhm. that was planned. that was something i intentionally put in there. the plot gnomes have not struck again. i would never make accidental symbolism. mhm mhm

those awesamponk stories have been in my drafts since............june of last year bc i was too shy to post them lmao. back when we still had a bit of awesamponk :pensive:

[rainycitysworld]

I'm sorry your stuff got flagged:( if your still feeling frisky could you do some nsfw headcanons for what Zora and Yami is with his partner for their first time together and his serious kinda tsundere squadmate s/o is a freak in the sheets? Like he's expecting very vanilla stuff and turns out s/o is very experienced 👀 (that pent up stress gotta come out somehow).

Lol not as frisky as you anon

Fuck yeah that Yami NSFW shit I made this blog for let’s fucking gooooo 

I’m a little tipsy so I will be using you instead of S/O but again I know y’all are self inserting so come at me 

Yami 

+Been on the squad for a while, an og member 

 +a bit prickly and snarky, honestly Yami’s favorite thing about you. Likes a partner who can take care of themselves. 

+You guys went from squadmates to friends to dating over a LONG period of time a very slow burn romance 

+Yami didn’t want to make it weird by making the first move since he’s your superior and you’re a tsundere but one night, after a little drinking, once everyone else has gone to bed you make out and sort of confess (you’re both hammered)

+But the next day you decide to give the whole thing a shot. That includes something you were a little too drunk to try before ;)

+Yami’s an observant guy, Vanessa, Finral, Luck, Magna, even Gordon had all brought people to the base before, even if they thought no one knew but his ki sense was keen. He assumed you must not have a lot of experience so his plan is to be gentle, no need to rush into anything too crazy the very first time.

+You guys start kissing and his plan again, slow and steady but your plan? Take off his shirt and lick his chest while you stick your hand down his pants. Catches his v off guard 

+Stops and asks: “So hey, weird question, but are you a virgin?”

+You laugh “No, no I am not”

+Honestly Yami is pretty dominant but let’s you take the lead cause, unknown to him, you’re a little freak. 

+Bites on his inner thigh before licking his balls then slowly moving up to his cock, you slap it a little and Yami just laughs as he realizes what he’s gotten himself into. 

+You both go a bit crazy cause it’s been like 5ish years (I don’t know how old the Black Bulls are) of just wanting to jump each other’s bones. 

+You start riding him, scratching his chest hard enough to draw some blood 

+Yami’s had it though. If you’re not going to place nice neither will he 

+While you’re still on his dick he lifts you up slams you against a wall and thrusts you into him as hard as he can 

+Ask him to choke you in this position and he will slow down for a moment to process what this seemingly innocent person just asked him to do to them 

+But very happy to oblige 

+Definetly cums into you and almosts drops you after 

Zora

+You’re very cute and sweet to everyone, except Zora, he brings out the tsundere but assumes you’re an unexperienced virgin because of your personality towards everyone else and how you dress (cutesy?). Does think you’re hot though

+In a relationship now but I feel like it starts out like this

+Just them at the base and you start being rude to Zora, Zora quips back and sits next to you to bother you more because he thinks its funny 

+After you quip some more it gets quiet and you guys stare at each other for awhile before well...

+Zora’s like “Hey maybe we should go to our room, someone could come back”

+You’re like “Everyone is away on a mission and I like the risk”

+Zora just goes wide-eyed, like were they into some kinky shit? Was he totally wrong about his assumptions? Yes, yes he was

+You guys are mostly dressed since you’re in public but fucking on the couch of the common room is probably one of the hottest things Zora has ever done 

+The sex itself isn’t anything too crazy.. until you call him daddy

+Tells you he’s about to cum, you tell him to cum inside of you and he immediately does

+There are stains on the couch, opps

Hello!! I'm the same anon who asked for songs that remind you of Ichi (I actually knew Master & Servant :o) and the reason I asked was cause I wanted something fitting to listen to while drawing. Your songs were 👌 (especially the last /jk) so since it's Suuji day, I'm asking if you know anything I can draw some Suuji to? :D

Glad you liked the Ichi playlist!

The difficulty for me when it comes to finding Suuji music is, as much as I adore Suuji, I adore it platonically. A song could be otherwise perfect, and with solo playlists I’m normally more forgiving of an unfitting line or two if the rest of the song works, but in this case, if there’s a single romantic implication in the entire song, nope, can’t do it. I admit I do like some concepts with the pair that others would view as too far, such as snuggling and saying they love each other, but calling it unambiguously romantic or referencing stuff like mouth kissing? Blech. No. Considering that songs about deep platonic affection aren’t nearly as common as romantic ones, at least in my experience, it does make things tricky. But I do have some things! ...even if it means taking songs that were probably written romantically, but using them anyway because at least they don’t mention smooching. I don’t view Suuji as “worth less” than a romantic relationship. Why should I? I do believe Jyushi loves Ichi as much as he loves, say, Homura, and that Ichi returns that love; it’s just a different type of love, is all. But I say this because if my approaching the playlist in that light makes anyone uncomfortable, then I understand completely, and maybe skip over the majority of it?

Never Gonna Say I’m Sorry by Ace of Base - This is mostly a Jyushi solo song; it is such a Jyushi solo song that I’d believe it was about him if it wasn’t written in 1995. But the second verse could be interpreted as Suuji, if you wanna use it that way. “Give me just a minute to shine with you! I could make you so happy, make you laugh!”

You Keep Me From Breaking Apart by Apoptygma Berzerk - I mentioned this on my Ichi playlist as well, but it’s too good not to mention here. You have no idea how much I listened to this while writing “Don’t Worry”; I adore it as a Suuji song. “You understand the chaos in my head, only you understand every word I say...”

I Stand by Gabriela Gunčíková - To be honest, this song is... not the most interesting, musically. It’s pretty, I suppose, but it also sounds like every other Eurovision ballad. But I listened to it a lot out of necessity during the lead up to Eurovision 2016, and mentally turning it into a Suuji song made it a hell of a lot more bearable. =P And hey, maybe you like simple ballads a lot more than I do! Ichi, perhaps an Ichi in the future who’s built more confidence in himself, thanking Jyushi for always looking out for him. “I have felt the strain, I’ve made mistakes with the monsters in my head. But in the end, you’re standing there, you’re the one who always cares.”

Ready for the Floor by Hot Chip - I’ve heard this before, but it’s been years, and then a friend brought it back into my life today by posting it as a Suuji song, and for that, I really like it! I love songs that can be read as Jyushi getting Ichi to live life to the fullest, which Ichi does want him to do. And hey, like my friend said, “number one guy”! Gotta get those number puns! “I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice? I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance.”

Rain Dance by T. Stebbins - Okay, so this is a song about another fandom, a fandom I know fuckall about. (I actually am interested in Touhou from a distance, from a story standpoint, I’ve just never looked at anything outside pictures and vague plot summaries.) But if that can be forgiven on character playlists, I love how optimistic this song is! It’s about persevering through hard times and making something good out of them, and I love the idea of Jyushi passing on this life philosophy to the brother who has a constant rain cloud over his head. “We’re in a rain dance, let it splash on your head! You could’ve been in pain, but you’re rejoicing instead!”

Also potentially worth mentioning, even if the whole song definitely does not fit, is “Play With The Numbers” by Domino. I tend to use this one for Suuji moods simply because it’s loaded with Japanese number puns. “Ichi nii no sanshine!” has particularly morphed into a cutesy little nickname for Ichi. I don’t think Ichi appreciates it - ball of sunshine he is not - but Jyushi still thinks the world of him. Maybe Jyushi can actually get away with it. So for that, I’ll mention this one. =P
