"Don't you have anything better to do than pester your student over his relationships? How about you teach me something for a change? Or I can always use you to test how sharp my katana is too, since you don't feel like shutting the fuck up--"
"No reason to be angry. I find it adorable to see young love. Nothing wrong with how you feel, blah blah blah. don't worry I'll let it go --- later at least." he was trying not to choke on his own spit at this point with how he was laughing. oh he was going to die, wasn't he? " -- oh, don't worry, me too. that's why I would rather stay single."

Fake Pep looks like a very spongy fellow…
Like, you put that man in a bath and he’ll just soak up all the water like a sponge would do 🤔
well, the way i see it, Fake HATES being in water. it messes with his skin and makes him lose his form, so unless it's like, a real nice, comfy warm bath, it probably isn't too pleasant.
.... but, what he CAN do, drinking liquids doesn't hurt him, his insides are more "sturdy" and can absorb it better. so if he were to be put in, let's say, a container of sorts filled with water, he'd probably just try to drink all of the water in order to get it off of him.
something that Peppino unfortunately found out once while trying to get Fake to take a bath.
so... i guess he DOES work kinda like a sponge, in certain situations. Fake sure doesn't like doing it that much though... it takes forever to get all that water absorbed.
(featured: One Sopping Wet Bag of Goop (basically just a water bed at this point.))
#he gets real grumpy and sluggish when he's filled up like that. a lot less pleasant for him than being full of food.#he MAY be able to tolerate you laying down on his squishy self but don't push your luck.#also hey SORRY ANON FOR UHH KINDA LEAVING THIS ASK FOR A MONTH HOPE ALL IS GOOD 👍#my art#pizza tower#pizza tower fake peppino#literally just like that Spongebob episode where Gary takes a bath. but instead of Spongebob soaking the bath up. now it's Gary.#there is no need to take a bath if the bath is INSIDE of you!! *taps forehead*

what if i put my life in your hands? what if i took your life in mine?
#okay look there's a reason i've been obsessed with this scene for 21 slutty slutty years#imagine for a second you're yue#your master—whom you loved more than your own existence—decided his work was finished and didn't need you anymore#and he pushed you into the dark where you slept for centuries until a little girl woke you up by sheer dumb luck#you now are trapped in this horrible new era where everything is too loud and too fast and too bright#you're also trapped in a body that isn't yours jockeying for room with a completely separate soul that you don't know or particularly like#and you're draining your meager stores of magic to the dregs in order to keep the two of you alive#under the surface of tsukishiro yukito you're drowning—and the both of you are fading away entirely#and then this boy#pulls you to the surface of yourself#and says with his whole heart 'i won't let you disappear'#he smiles at you and teases you and then pours his not inconsiderable power into you#and you take and you take and you take and he never says stop#he never says only a little but no more#he holds you close and lets you sup on the very marrow of his magic until there's nothing left and he's simply an ordinary human#and for the first time in centuries—perhaps ever—you feel full#when you finally step away and ease his unconscious body onto the bed as gently as you can manage#you murmur that you ought to thank him#but it's such an inadequate way to convey your gratitude#how do you give thanks for what you've made him lose?#you put your life in his hands and he cradled it as if it were precious... and then he gave you his own in return#in the world before this one you would have been as good as wed#you thumb the swell of his cheek and allow yourself one last look at your would-be husband#and then turn around to face the threat behind the door#as it creaks open to reveal a little body wracked with sobs you think you would face anything that would dare come for him or his sister#not because it is your duty as the guardian of the cards#but because you love them#touya/yue#ccs#yue

What's the Wardi cultural take on Akoshos sleeping with/partnering with/marrying other Akoshos?
It's not highly regulated to a degree that there are overwhelming cultural norms about it. There's a lot of societal focus on akoshos being theoretically suitable sexual partners for both men and women due to being dual-gendered, but not to an extent that relationships with One Another are stigmatized.
They also largely get to escape from the most severe concerns about penetrator/penetrated power dynamics because they're not regarded as Men (they're regarded as dual-gendered, and they're a female social class on every practical level), there's no status of manhood to Lose by receiving sexual penetration. The only real thing you see in that department is people assuming that one acts as 'the man' and one acts as 'the woman', but this is largely due to preoccupation with a notion of sex being Penetration With A Penis (and that Penetration With A Penis means that one person is in a Man's Role and one person is in a Woman's Role). But this will not be regarded as unnatural as in same-gender male relations, akoshos will Have to take up a position in this sexual dichotomy if they want to have Real Sex (Penetration With A Penis) with each other, and this is not unnatural and doesn't involve gaining or losing status since they are simultaneously male and female, not men.
So like you might see individual culture critics finding stuff to nitpick about it as their annoyance of the week or a singular Guy here or there who thinks it's weird, but this isn't a widespread norm. The vast majority of people don't give a shit about akoshos having sex with each other. The worst thing you're likely to experience Solely by virtue of being in an akoshos-akoshos relationship is someone asking you (probably with genuine curiosity) which one does the man stuff and which one does the woman stuff.
Akoshos also don't experience Hard expectations for marriage (though there are societal pressures that make marriage an attractive safety net all the same, ESPECIALLY marriage to a man) so unofficial life-partnerships between akoshos are pretty much the Only same gender partnerships between unwed people that are going to go unquestioned. ((Sworn brotherhood is technically a same gender life partnership for men that is Functionally similar to marriage (in that it's a kin-making practice between unrelated adults), but the tradition is Built upon the assumption that both parties will be married to women and that a primary goal of this kinship is to provide security for both parties' wives and children)). Marriage obligations in general are more lax in the economically secure but not Wealthy lower mercantile classes (as obligations to support and perpetuate one's family are universal, but these obligations can be filled simply by having at least One son who can get hitched, and marriages in the lower classes have no political functions and therefore there's less reason to ensure All your children are wed (there's still incentives like dowry, but this is not desperately needed when a family is economically secure)). So akoshos in this class group tend to have a Lot more freedom in terms of their life arrangements and chosen partners (though still experience the limiting frameworks of structural misogyny in other capacities).
The only thing that is out of the picture is akoshos/akoshos marriage. Marriage in this society has a predominantly reproductive function, the concept of reproductively non-viable marriages is generally considered absurd. This is not JUST this culture's form of homophobia, as marriage is a very practical arrangement at its core - both in a reproductive capacity and as bedrock for the patriarchal blood-kinship family system that forms the core social unit. The idea of same gender marriage isn't just absurd because 'ewwww weird' it's like, that Cannot work within this system, it Cannot fill core functions of what a marriage intends to do here, the ways on which marriage and kinship are BUILT makes same gender marriage practically (rather than just socially) untenable.
The sole exception to the 'marriage = reproductively viable" rule is that akoshos can be married to men (which in practice is almost always as a remarriage after a man has secured At Least an heir). This has a Little bit of internal logic here in that they perform predominantly female social roles (thus are suited to being a wife, even if they can't bear children) (and also on practical levels of them having the same legal status as women) but it's really more of a 'this is just how it's always been' kind of thing. A lot of the older pre-Wardi identity dual-gender roles that got mashed together under the 'akoshos' name would have involved marriage to a man as a second wife/concubine, in addition to his primary wife who would bear his children. Men potentially having multiple spouses has not been retained as a cultural practice, but the notion that an akoshos Can be a wife to a man has survived into modern day legal and doctrinal practices around marriage.
So like this being said, marriage as it is legally defined is only between a man and a woman, a man and an akoshos, or a woman and an akoshos. In practice the latter two are comparatively VERY rare- a man/akoshos marriage cannot provide children (though an akoshos can practically fulfill all other obligations and duties of a wife), a woman/akoshos marriage Can provide children (and while akoshos cannot function as a male heir, these children Will take their akoshos-parent's family name (though the wife retains her father's family name)), but akoshos are legally grouped with women in terms of rights and privileges (including being permanently under legal domain of their father unless they have been legally handed off to a male husband) and Cannot provide hard power patriarchal support that this family system is built upon and therefore depends upon, which makes these marriages socio-economically insecure. They can obviously still be a good partner and parent, but this is not the same as having the Legal hard power of a patriarch.
Akoshos marrying each other would be reproductively and socially nonviable, and is treated as a similarly absurd concept to a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. It's just not a part of the marriage and kinship framework, it's not a thing that you can Do.
#Akoshos are also probably like.... 1-2% of the population. Like its an Accepted gendered space but not a large one so it's less#'managed' in a lot of senses#It's actually kind of hard to 'access' the akoshos space to begin with. Like parents look for Signs In Early Childhood and most#akoshos are typically assigned their gender early.#If you don't manage to access this space there's a good chance of being Stuck as a man with any deviance from your expected#gender roles being the HIGHLY unaccepted 'male effeminacy' which is a VERY different concept than (though obviously has tensions With)#being akoshos. A lot of akoshos self-label as adults after losing support from their families in part for being '''effeminate men'''#(this is also kind of the only instance in which gender self-identification occurs on a basis that will be Broadly accepted. Though#this happens in the context of already being detached from one's familial support network and people not knowing you self-assigned)#There are also certainly Some cases where akoshos self-identify as adults and this is accepted by their fathers. For a variety#of reasons but unfortunately often it's going to be like-#'we must have missed something but whatever. glad our kid is actually supposed to be this way and isn't just effeminate'#Also much less likely to be accepted if they're an expected male heir without brothers to take up the role in their stead#And VERY unlikely in upper classes where family members are public figures. If you've been introduced as a man here you're probably#out of luck.#(Like you'll see accusations that adult-assigned akoshos are just pretending in order to disguise being male effeminates)#This position isn't freedom from gender norms or like. The equivalent of an accepted trans identity. It's its own assigned gender#space in an Expanded but strict binary with expanded but strict roles#Also the societal trends over centuries are showing signs of increasing collapse between the notions of 'effeminate man' (bad)#and 'akoshos' (normal). At this point the concepts are still very separate but the current societal trajectory is leaning towards the#akoshos role being phased out of its normalization (in tandem with Wardi culture becoming more intensely patriarchal with#the collapse of Wardi groups into one identity)#Like 600 years ago there was NOT a concept of 'effeminate man' and proto-akoshos roles were a#more central concept that enveloped divergences from expected masculinity. Whereas now the akoshos space is significantly narrower#and the concept of 'effeminate man' exists in tandem as a stigmatized descriptor. And things have gotten to the point of#people claiming that ''effeminate men'' will 'pretend' to be akoshos#The akoshos identity becoming stigmatized/phased out isn't inevitable but the tensions around it are definitely growing#Though there's also a sense that Peak Patriarchy has been hit and you're starting to see people pushing back at these norms in fairly#notable ways. There's not going to be like. A feminist revolution but civilian women getting more political freedoms (while the overall#context stays patriarchal) is a likely outcome which could also have side benefits of relaxing masculinity standards Somewhat

don't push your luck | knj (teaser)
you’re asked to present at an important meeting, but of course, your rival has to come along for the ride.
✨ title: don't push your luck | one-shot | ✨ pairing: namjoon x f!reader ✨ genre/au: angst | ex college rivals, e2l, co-workers, one-bed trope ✨ rating: pg-16 | ✨ word count: TBA | teaser wc: 282 ✨ teaser warnings: suggestive language, swearing, joon calls reader a lot of different pet names, joon's a bit of an ass, mentions of choking ✨ a/n: just a fun lil teaser for you guys!! enjoy! ✨ a/n 2: enjoy the fic!! [ linked here ]
Your eyes follow him as he makes himself comfortable on the bed. He’s lying down, his legs are dangling off as his feet touch the floor. And you hope the phone screen illuminating his honey skin drops on his face. You’re vile, you know. But Namjoon’s like an itch you can’t seem to reach.
Setting down your things, you walk over to him, slotting yourself between his legs, arms folded against your chest. “What are you doing in my bed?”
He chuckles, placing the phone beside him. He props himself up on his elbows, eyes raking over you. “Waiting for you to hop on, baby,” he sneers, patting his thigh.
How are you supposed to get any work done if he’s around invading the very air you breathe?
“In your dreams, Joon. You’re sleeping on the couch.”
“Oh, baby girl. You don’t even wanna know what you do in my dreams.”
His dreams, huh? You’ve wondered how many times you’ve shown up. “Let me guess, am I strangling you?”
Namjoon sits up, pushing himself off the bed to stand. It forces you to take a step back. There’s a moment of silence before he speaks, “Actually, you’re the one who likes it, remember? Not me, princess.”
You’re inches away from him and you hope he doesn’t see you visibly gulp. It’s like everything is stripped away when Namjoon’s around. As much as you try to hide it, you hope he can’t see through your bullshit.
Clicking your tongue, you try to compose yourself, tilting your head as you gaze into those dragon eyes. “Keep dreaming, Joonie because that’s the closest you’ll ever come to fucking me.”
“Again—” he corrects you.
enjoy the fic!! [ linked here ]

could you describe the heads of Sarkath’s personalities? We kinda know what Anthe is like but i would love to know more abt the other two. (nmaybegeneralbackstoryifuwant) I’m totally not planning something
I do neglect the other two a bit, don't I? Gotta work on that
Here's lil smth that sums them up:
• Anthe (center, eldest)
- the most extroverted of the three
- most social and talkative
- is loud, but not to the point of being annoying
- actual Prince Charming
- a bit too emotional/dramatic at times
- thinks it's his responsibility as the leader to keep everyone happy
- loves swimming and sunbathing near water
- when split up with his brothers, he spends time at a place he called hidden oasis (there are a lot of pretty fishies there that he likes to watch 👀)
• Dione (right, 2nd oldest)
- ambivert
- if it seems like he's being mean he likes you and thinks of you as a friend
- looks unapproachable at first but he's easy to get along with once you get to know him
- he will return the energy you give him
- protective of the ones he's close to, which causes problems sometimes
- out of the three would be the first to throw hands, but usually keeps his cool
- he makes sculptures using his ice powers (he's really good at it)
- when split up with his brothers, he spends time in tundra biomes/mountains
- he's the only one of the three who prefers colder climates
• Riu (left, youngest)
- mostly introverted
- rarely speaks but loves to listen
- he likes to hang out with others as long as he can sit on the side and be more of a spectator
- actually rational and level-headed compared to his siblings
- observant, notices little things
- not the best at giving advice but will do his best to comfort you
- tends to complete his brothers' sentences when they forget a word and most of the time he gets it exactly right
- when split up with his brothers, he spends time at a place he called volcano valley
- hangs out with Archii a lot since both of them like hot climates
I hope this helps you out a bit! :3
#ask box#ask#kaiju oc#kaiju#also Sar is a pacifist in general#my boy doesn't like fighting#he's a talkative guy what can i say#he will beat you up if you don't give him other choice tho#you have a nice monster#don't be an idiot and don't push your luck#he's the “i'm not mad just dissapointed” kind of guy

"I'm your arch's nemesis"
Normal people: what? that doesn't sound right, don't you mean-
Architects: HAVE AT THEE, FUCKING BUTTRESS
#tumblr wants me to add tags#uuuh#architecture#here you go#I guess the actual nemesis of arches would be orthogonal horizontal pressure though?#since then an arch would (I presume) be less stable to that than a wall of similar length#that's just what I expect though I know literally nothing about architecture#At least if the arch doesn't support anything#If it does support something good luck felling it#I know that much#because obviously it's hard to push stuff out if there's stable weight on it#I wonder how that holds up to an architect's expertise#do architects do whole calculations of materials like how ductile they are and friction index and tensile strength and lots of stuff like#that so nothing bad happens#or do we have that stuff figured out and they just pull out a table with all the data and they just know by heart the important stuff#like 'don't use stucco as your foundation; it is brittle and sad'

(vent warning) npd culture is having your equal person that you're also dating say they need a break from the relationship and on the outside you're like "take as much time as you need!!" but on the inside you want to claw all your organs out because Why dont they love me? Im doing everything right, ive done everything they asked, ive changed so much just for them, why can they just love me? why cant they just figure things out while we're together??????
.
#im sorry i don't know what to say. things and moments like that really suck and it's also a fear of mine.#but often people dont mean that they dont love you back when saying that.#sometimes its just their love for you that's pushing them to make this decision.#this might help the both of you.#id suggest as well to write letters to your partner (and not give them to them if you dont want to) and write all those thoughts down.#communication is key and i often have made the mistake to hide stuff from people close to me from the fear of them not liking me.#good luck and i wish you strength anon./gen srs#npd culture is#anon#ask#asks#vent#npd vent#npd#npd safe#actually narcissistic#narcissistic personality disorder#actually npd#narcissism#narcissistic#narcissist#actually cluster b#cluster b safe#cluster b#cluster b personality disorder

"Oi, back from wence ya came, ya overgrown weed!" Sasori says and sprays Zetsu with a bottle of unknown liquid.
Zetsu cowers away from the spray, frowning. They show all square teeth in displeasure to the puppet.
"If you don't stop this, we will unleash the worse fungis you'll ever have to deal with in every piece of dead wood you own."
