#dont rly have a solid friend group

[interpoleroo]

okay sorry I didn’t really spend time thinking thru this and posting on here abt it bc god knows I post abt my life way too much online.

Anyway, there’s a girl at my gym who knows some of the details of a big topic of gossip that happened last year. Lots of loose ends there—many many unknowns that I need to be known for my own purposes. I guess Ill see how much I’ll end up elaborating on that. For context, I happen to be very nosy and that event starred my closest friend and a random girl. I was never involved nor was the friend I had this conversation with.

Now, Ive been in this friend’s group for two months or so and only now have I decided to actually ask her about it. Ive only heard one side of it (my friend’s who’s technically in the wrong), and I dont have a solid timeline or details of what actually went down and who all was involved. So yesterday I decided to ask her about it and pry a little bit bc things are starting to escalate between me and aforementioned friend a bit and i feel like I should tread carefully, aka why I am fishing for information— I gotta know exactly what I could be getting into yk. I honestly haven’t decided whether he’s in the wrong or not in this situation, but he did get punished and is certainly (i miss my first crush…that was his nickname… :() not innocent.

Apparently he hasn’t told me any of what happened before he got told on and holy hell. It’s kinda bad. It’s very bad actually. well. Its js that I dont like it. I had a very adverse reaction to hearing about it second hand from the friend of the other girl involved— and not cause of jealousy or whatever, which is what I thought it’d be bc I do in fact have jealousy issues. So I got whipped into shifting perspective of not just that girl, but her friends. It’s like bad bad. I am desensitized to a lot okay but that desensitization comes from excessive internet exposure. Anything irl really rubs me the wrong way. I am uncomfortable and weird about a lot of it and that’s what this happens to involve.

So Im kinda reeling from that information bc my supposed best friend hasn’t told me anything. But he low key has idea the severity of what I went thru w my first except that was js us making eachother’s mental illnesses worse and not like whatever this is.

Well and then my friend told me to reach out to the other girl directly involved bc she has a unique perspective on it as well and could hopefully help me figure out what to do with this. And i was like WOAH. New option unlocked that I literally have never ever thought about. And its bc I think hes using me as a replacement that I’d talk to her. I mean, all the same shit is happening to me in the same way. He's doing the same stuff to me as he did to her but Im way more hesitant. She and I have basically had the same experience but she felt differently about it in a positive way and handled it differently. She was smart enough to have blocked him later on and so I have done some casual stalking in past to try to put together puzzle pieces, to no avail though.

I would gladly talk to her but 1) Ive built up a slight grudge overtime (idk why though), 2) I dont want to reawaken some long lost feelings in her or something cause then I get left behind, 3) We’re basically strangers and I rly don’t know what her personality is like so it’d be kinda weird to start talking now, and 4) I did that thing where I liked one of her posts from two years ago so she probably knows about the slight stalking and we’ve never spoken so its like extra creepy and weird.

But now talking to her is an option. And it would totally be purely for selfish reasons. I would not do anything to get her back with my friend even though according to friend code Im supposed to be on his side. Realistically knowing myself, I’d probably talk shit and all that bc I have an innate ability to see all sides and manipulate my opinions to get what I want out of certain people. It’s all about the ability to relate, appeals to emotion, and feigned ignorance. I often know a lot more than what I say I do but I want different opinions and any extra details that could be relevant. Yk what, it might be nice for her to talk to me actually. Simmering on this now, I’m sure she’s had to go thru the same judgement I’ve had to when mentioning anything related to him and we’re probably the few people in this who could honestly chat in detail about it bc we get it. Cause I know that Im the kind of person who likes to talk about my drama to get it off my chest and hopefully a realistic opinion, and maybe shes the same? See, she may not be—its not like I know her and thats why Im a bit hesitant. Sorry this is me cycling thru the pros and cons of taking action on this in a very long winded, content heavy way. It helps.

Sorry this was low key be hella vague but i know what it means and I needed to get it down.

I may add more later as I overthink it all. Thanks.

[irlbkgs]

for the s/i ask game! (sorry this had taken so long, i kinda forgot to send you an ask sksjdj)

rose, lily, poppy, iris, chrysanthemum! for anyone who you wanna talk about <3

- @stevieselfships

no worries at all!! i get it lul

doing this for kennie and nicky bc they're basically my only two solid s/i's and the rest are abandoned or like rly half baked with the exception of tatum who is like...just an oc really, she isn't for selfship purposes and she's not really a version of me either so shrug (one day ill yap about her tho...)

lily ✦ do you try to fit your s/i into canon, or do you just do whatever you'd like with them?

for nicky, absolutely, i think that's pretty obvious with how ive talked about him in the past. for twd specifically and especially bc his other half is daryl, it's pretty easy to add another character without it seeming weird AND give them romance bc daryl doesn't really have a love interest besides carol who he Still isn't with post twd soooo

but yeah, nicky has his whole back story and whatnot from before but besides that i basically just envision him as having been there with the group at the quarry before rick even shows up and he exists within the group as like an obnoxious little brother to most bc he is like. an adult but clearly an adult who is In College and works a Part Time Job. very much a 24 year old who operates like a 24 year old. rly the only people who didn't treat him like that were the kids for obvious reasons, glenn bc they're basically the same age and daryl who has basically always just seen 18+ as ur an adult i will treat u like an adult bc that's how he was raised (/neg bc he has to unlearn that. also to be clear i dont mean this in regards to relationships or sex, i mean in regards to having to act grown, if that makes sense. for daryl as soon as he was 18 ((and rly before that)) he was expected to have a job, provide for himself and for his family and be a stereotypical man who can fend for himself and bc of that he expects everyone else who is over 18 to have their shit together, even if most are not expected to. he understands there is a maturity gap bc of the age thing tho and can understand, to a certain extent, that this thing that was forced on him is not normal or okay, but it causes friction between him and nicky at first bc nicky is functionally useless in an apocalypse setting before the farm. he is physically weak, cant shoot for shit, isnt a great cook, cant sew or clean well. he's a fucking rich kid, he knows fuckall and his years away from home didnt teach him much except how to live off buttered noodles and tap water for months on end. he's book smart to a certain extent, but he's no eugene, so again, not much to offer. daryl finds this frustrating but they eventually find middle ground yada yada im rambling about unrelated shit SORRY!!!)

with kennie it's the opposite, i don't personally love g*n v's execution of everything plotwise, i don't love a lot of the characters and the only one i do love besides my f/o, sam, is emma, who is his love interest so. while sometimes i toy with the idea of shipping all three, i don't selfship with emma so it's easier to just skew far away from canon and do what i want.

rose ✦ is your s/i more like yourself, or are they more of an oc you project on?

for both id say closer to an oc, but nicky definitely is more of a version of me that ive like exaggerated parts of to make Better, but i also include my flaws and stuff in his character at times, whereas kennie is one singular aspect of me that i wish i was less shy about and i turned up to the max on her. nicky is sloppy and loud and confrontational with people he doesn't like but avoids confrontation like the plague with people he does like, he lies and manipulates people if he thinks it'll help him or his friends out, he is a ball of energy and sometimes that leads him to outbursts that hurts himself or others but he is also like the fucking sun. he is me if i was more confident but also still flawed in a way that people find more appealing because it gives him character and fuck, everyone lies, he just happens to be really good at it and uses that to his advantage in situations that don't always call for it. i am also a manipulative cunt but it is less fun when i do it bc well. i am a real person and its something i need to work on. im also loud and sloppy but its less fun when i do it, moreso annoying. nicky is witty and quick with jokes, i am not. im generally not a confrontational person either, regardless of who's involved. kennie on the other hand is just like. quiet and stern and very focused and on top of things, which im not. really the only thing we share is wanting to top boys twice our size and that's like 90% of why i made her. i wanted a s/i that was physically similar to me in most ways to get sam on his knees bc he is the most obvious sub ever 🤷‍♀️ and i figured for once id make a character who wasn't so similar to me bc i do that a lot so i made her my opposite. unfortunately this did result in me liking her less, hence her not having a doc linked in my pinned like nicky and tatum do, but i do still enjoy her.

poppy ✦ do you have lore surrounding your s/i, or is your s/i more or less just there to project on with your f/o(s)?

for nicky yes there is a lot of lore, ive planned out a lot of stuff before canon and a lot of stuff during canon for him so there is most definitely lore there. the tldr of it is rich parents who were never there, adopted a girl who they used to look good to their rich peers bc nicky wasn't well behaved enough in their eyes to bring to functions, he moves out as soon as he can and lives the college life off and on until 24 when he drops out for good, but the apocalypse also starts so that doesn't really matter. meets the quarry group, falls for daryl pretty early on, spends years head over heels before they finally get together during alexandria era. everything after that is unplanned bc quite frankly i do not Like those seasons nor do i think i could make the relationship between nicky and daryl worth talking about when daryl is with the saviors for such a huge portion of that era or he just gets no fucking lines/screen time. maybe one day ill plan out commonwealth stuff bc that stuff gets interesting again, but i doubt it. id be more likely to do the france stuff than anything but again it wouldn't really make sense without me making up a bunch of shit.

for kennie she doesn't really have a lot of lore. really all i have for her is like the basics and her going to supe college more for marketing than to be a supe herself. less likely to get offed that way, she figures.

iris ✦ do you associate any animals with your s/i? which one(s), and why?

nicky is def a raccoon. i feel like everything about him makes this obvious.

kennie is more like a hairless cat. feels fancy but is also just some weird fucking guy at the end of the day.

chrysanthemum ✦ free question! tell us anything you'd like to say about your s/i!

hrmmm nicky would be a big fan of the dare in a modern au. he would've found him pre brat summer and been a snobbbb about being there first (but he would also be all over that brat album, he is a party boy at heart unlike daryl who, in this au, would hate nicky going out to party but still pick him up from the club like a dutiful boyfriend. nicky is a sloppy drunk but very loving and cuddly so daryl at worst finds him annoying in an endearing way when he gets plastered)

kennie would nottttt like any of the main characters in g*n v besides emma and i need this to be known. she could spend time with jordan without biting their head off but besides that she wouldnt be able to stand marie, andre or cate. luke and her wouldve gotten along just fine before the whole mess and him dying, but they were never close. emma and her probably got closer After sam getting out of the woods, but i havent rly planned out the specifics.

[youhaveyourfits]

just went to dad's for dinner. it was actually nice (it always has been since this started) but what struck me was the solid comfortable feeling of familiarity, the anxiety was there too but just knowing something and having been known is a comfortable safe feeling in itself. and the cognitive dissonance.. why is visiting so nice but living there not? is that the way it always will be with me and people, anyone?

what was nice: playing games w my lil sister (and brother), laughing w her, the house itself, the garden, the rooms full of things and history, the fact that there is life there at all (whereas living by yourself means its only you changing things - also is that an unnatural way to live ?), my dad smiling at me and asking how i was when i came (uncommon), the fact that they made a nice dinner cos it was a family dinner, my dad thanking me for coming, seeing the cats, the smell of the garden, talking abt my uncle w my dad

what wasn't so nice: they weren't around when i came so i went into a room to hang out w lil sis and when they came back out they start being like 'didnt she say she'd be here...?' and talking lowly saying some shit in that tone they have. fucking UGH it fucks me up but anyways, also my stepmum did her thing where my lil sis was talking abt a funny video at dinner and my stepmum did her fucking 'okay.' in her tone! she has a nasty tone! the thought condensed at dinner. thats how i could say it to be understood by anyone. she always has and if we ever talked to her like that she'd be the victim. anyways.. also just the way its always (become) so clear to me at dinners that the group never rly coheres, ever

anyway. i miss that comfortable feeling. i feel more stablised now and i know what i need is friends. even just a few, just some regulars.. i need people in me life .

and i was also thinking on the drive home: i do love my dad, and even tho he cant ever really say anything, like.. emotionally vulnerable or anything, he tried for me, and i do still wanna try to say the things i need to one day when i can bc theyre standing in our way and i dont want them too bc it is worth having him in my life

[nurseangelririka-sos]

reflecting on what happened 24 hours earlier where my friends actually surprised me for my birthday while im mid-fortnite game and live on twitch too. i feel so grateful to have an amazing core group and thinking about it i met every single one of them in different moments of my life and seeing them become friends with each other is honestly a dream come true for me. to think that i have a solid group of friends who feel the same way to me like i do to them is something i never thought i would have honestly… like i know ive met a lot of people in my life, and im always leaving them because im always away or whatever. idk. i cherish all the people i met in my lifetime but i feel like this time it feels different because the past few years ive had a lot of breakthroughs with myself feelings wise and how i essentially tore down all the walls ive made because of past traumas. like this time around i feel like ive healed and im finally able to accept people’s love to me wholeheartedly and its a new feeling for me. before its always impostor syndrome making me doubt everyone’s feelings towards me thinking its all negative and i end up pushing people away and i will always feel awful about it like…. ive lost a lot of friendships because i chickened out on deepening the bond bc i basically convinced myself that these people actually dont like me. this time around i was brave enough to tell friend A that i feel that way sometimes and to have them scold me being like “hey, what if i tell you that ur only friends w me because u pity me that would suck right” and idk to have my bestie say that to me rly punched some big prespective to me…….. uwe. idk im just feeling very grateful atm. its not my bday anymore here in jakarta but it still is somewhere out there and im just feeling nice even tho im lowkey freaking out about my solo show ;w; i wanna bother the dudes now but i know they’d want me to work lol. i hope they never open my tumblr lmfaooo this is actually embarrassing if they find out i wrote this 🙃

[peri]

here's your reminder that mutuals are free to ask for my discord or invite me to their servers .... <3

[jxmbi]

finally found a group of guys that i can be just another regular dumb guy with

[hhomunculus]

Mmm I think I found who you are! Your very excited and passionate. Just from the way you speak I can tell you probably love making new friends and love the ones you have! You probably just cheer for things you think are cool, Or if your watching a video with two people you dont know fighting you'll cheer for whoever is winning! Your adventurous and try not to be a burden. And you either really care what people think of you or don't give a shit at all!

Your... Butters!

Butters is a smart little guy who likes making friends and always cherishes the ones he has! He isn't dumb, Though, He knows who his true friends are and who aren't. He doesn't always see what people's true intentions are at first he always learns eventually. He knows what to do when people mess with him and he's great st making plans! He is probably the most sane character in Southpark considering how normal he is compared to everyone else! He overcomes all of his challenges and knows how to persuade people into doing things, And he's very brave too! He sees past people's fake masks qnd we know this because when he was in Hawaii with Kenny he defended him and even said that he was the only one he actually liked out of everyone because Kenny is the only one who doesn't bully people for the sake of it, Which Butters could see.

Out of the main cast, Your... KYLE!

Kyle is sympathetic but knows how to get under people's skin. He's probably the most popular of the group and he's very energetic. He's also a smart kid, He hates when people make fun of him for what he can't control or try and bully him about what he likes despite also not caring at the same time! He's probably the most excitable out of them and no doubt the most empathetic.

Please rate the explanation and characters I've given on a scale to 1-10! Don't be afraid to give me a bad score!

😳

…huh, I mean your analysis on me and butters individually is accurate asf and everything makes sense, but I really wouldn’t have thought to pin myself as butters (but with your reasoning, it’s hard to say I rly disagree). the part about either not caring about what ppl think at all, or caring a lot was like shockingly dead on lmao. I can’t say I’m surprised with my Kyle result, tho

over all, you did a great job w this!! tysm, and as far as my online persona goes, this is fs a solid like 8.5/10 analysis

2020-2021 Animation Watch(ed)list

I haven’t posted about animation in a while that I remember, and I know a lot of my followers are into it as much as me so I decided to make a list of the animated movies and series I watched on the past year or so, coupled with my short, spoilerless take on them. Enjoy!

Organized by

Things I saw for the first time

Things I rewatched

Under a cut for the sake of your dashboards! PS: I have not added any images yet. If you are interested in knowing more about the visuals of these movies, I might make an old fashion ask-prompted imageset list.

Part One: Things I saw for the first time

The Bear’s Famous Invasion of Sicily

Movie, 2019, Italian/French

9/10, a delightful little movie with amazing visuals. It feels like an animated picture book.

One of those “plot is in the title” media! I had never heard of this before but was heavily recommended it by my family members, who all loved it! It’s a sweet story, nothing groundbreaking but the unique colorful visual style alone makes it worth it.

The Castle of Cagliostro

Movie, 1979, Japanese

10/10. Reminded me of all the books i loved reading as a child

I assume its because it’s so old and the art style and themes are so different that it gets little to no love compared to other Ghibli movies, which is a shame! It’s fun with an endearing cast and as always, great animation and music

Mushishi

Series, 2006, Japanese

10/10 three episodes in I knew it was going to be my favorite series ever

One of the few things I’ve seen I’ll describe as life-changing. It’s absolutely lovely but never toots its own horn about it. Humble, calming, emotional and surprisingly mature. It’s pretty impossible to binge due to how intense the experience is. I just want to walk in the forest now...

FMA: Brotherhood

Series, 2009, Japanese

6/10 Dissapointing adaptation of a classic story

I read the manga for this when I was in middle school and remembered loving it. The animated version does an ok job of presenting the characters and worldbuilding and has some nice action scenes but overall looks really damn cheap and just. Not very good. Seeing I already knew most of the plot I did not have the element of discovery that made me marvel so much reading the original. It’s still a nice series but I really recommend reading it instead.

Code Lyoko (s1+2)

Series, 2003, french

3/10. 1.5 being for the opening song alone

This show sucks ass if I hadn’t been watching this with my bestie I would have dropped it two episodes in. The art style is ugly the stories are always the same and the first season has a (later removed thank fucking god) LITERAL “erase any consequences” button as a plot device in every episode. If you watch it for one thing let it be the nostalgia factor of early 00s Vidya Game Plot

The Legend of Hei

Movie, 2019, Chinese

7/10. Impressive visuals and a poor story

I finally watched this, peer pressured by the load of gifsets on my dashboard! It’s a sweet movie with really impressive animation, sometimes a bit too flashy for my taste (the action sequences go so ham they become not very readable...) but the story was just ok? The setting is barely explained and you are instead bombarded with vague epicspeech about powers and stuff that made me fondly remember Kingdom Hearts lol but that asides it’s a really good time! I need to watch more Chinese movies the few I know are just delightfully off the shits in how they approach action and I love that

Hunter x Hunter

Series, 1999, Japanese

9/10. Superior to the recent one!

I first got introduced to the series via the 2011 one. Comparatively, the 99 series focuses way less on action and way more on the characters, which I love because that fits my personal preferences! Despite mediocre filler episodes and some weird slight pointless plot changes, what it changes from the original manga doesn’t have much of an impact on the characters. The animation quality isn’t always consistent including a huge art style change for an arc (???) but it’s overall pretty nice. The series really shines in the last arc it adapts.

Oban Star-racers

Series, 2006, Japanese/french

9/10 a lovely surprise

This series is completly obscure despite having been created by people famous for their other series (Cowboy Bebop, Code Lyoko that i can name) and it’s a crime! It’s a kids show but without being stupid about it who tells the story of an inter-planetary race. If you liked that one scene in the star wars prequels you know what I mean. It’s got surprisingly nice animation for a TV series, and some truly great character design. The art style is a bit unique in a not for everyone sense, but I didn’t mind it much. It’s also THE most offensively 2000s series i’ve seen in terms of visuals. y2k kids assemble

The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon

Movie, 1963, japanese

8/10. Classic fairytale format with incredible visuals

Watched this for the art style because I know it inspired Samurai Jack, and it delievered! I dont’ have much to say about this one, it’s a very simply film but it’s sweet. For my pirates out there if you want to find it in good quality with english subtitles it’s VERY hard to find. If you just want to see the looks of it, it’s on Youtube with portugese subs.

We now enter the Gobelins Shorts Zone....!

My Friend Who Glows In The Dark

10/10 makes me cry each time

Pure delight...great animation writing everything. A little short about death and friendship but not in the way you imagine!

Colza

9/10

Visual treat...homely and nice :) not far from a 10 but a 9 because nothing about it is that groundbreaking

Sundown

9/10

If you’ve ever been ten minutes from failing a group project because of a single dude you will REALLY enjoy this. Loved the colors and personality

T’as vendu mes rollers?

10/10

It’s SUCH a sweet little short I loved that one so much

Dix-huit kilomètres trois

10/10

Surprisingly well written dialog. Visuals are great but the humanity of the characters carries this to another level

Un diable dans la poche

9/10

Amazing visuals and the most tense/creepy of Gobelin shorts i’ve ever seen. Chilling

La bestia

8/10

I had some issues with the pacing. Interesting story and visuals choices but I was not fond of the art style

Goodbye Robin

5/10

Confusing but predictable. Both at once??? Yes!

Le retour des vagues

6/10

Cool animation stuff but felt pretty pointless

                                                                ***

Part Two: Things I rewatched

Ruben Brandt: Collector

Movie, 2018, Hungarian

10/10. Underrated as hell

Watched this fully blind for the first time in an animated festival and rewatched it with friends. It’s a crime I never see anyone talking about it given the amount of whining I see about the lack of both adult animation and 2D movies? This film is a unique love letter to art in the form of a weird mix of charming crime story and psychological horror with amazing visuals. I recommend watching it blind and also buying it to show appreciation for how nice it is!!! WATCH THIS MOVIE...

Mononoke

Series, 2007, Japanese

10/10 Visual/storytelling masterpiece in the weird shit departement

If you can stomach intense stuff watch this. The visuals are incredibly unique and beautiful and under the jewel tones and art direction high takes it’s a really cool horror series. My only obstacle to enjoying it the first time I saw it was how dense it is - simply put, it’s so...culturally Japanese it’s not very accessible to me who doesn’t know anything about the culture? Watching it for the second time helped understanding the stories more! 

Corto Maltese in Siberia

Movie, 2002, french

9/10 but really close to ten. A great adaptation!

I’m a huge fan of the original comic so I entered this a biiiittttt suspicious it would suck but it was a really pleasant surprise! It has all the wonder and charm of the original and the animation was surprisingly good for the little budget. If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s a sort of geopolitical action/adventure movie but with it’s own really poetic vibe to it. It’s almost impossible to find online but happens to be fully on YouTube so go ham I guess?

Redline

Movie, 2009, Japanese

10/10 cinema was invented for this, actually

Every review of this movie i’ve seen gives it five stars and starts by talking about how immensly stupid it is. I’m no different. It’s a masterpiece of escalating energy with the depth of a puddle and it fucking rules. It’s free on YouTube too so there really is no excuse to not watch it. Watched it for the first time on a huge cinema screen and despite this my second rewatch on my small laptop was as/even more enjoyable. If you watch this stoned with friends you might travel to another dimension

Spirited Away

Movie, 2001, Japan

10/10 deserves the love it gets

I watched this a single time as a kid and had little memory of it! I mean it’s Ghibli you know it’s going to be good as hell but this one rly shines in how colorful and detailed it is and in it’s world! It made me remember I had a huge crush on the dragonboy as a kid. I’m gay now

Kung-fu Panda (1&2)

Movie, Usa

10/10. KFP fucking rules

Honestly my favorite franchise of the whole disney/dreamworks/pixar hydra. It’s fun as hell, doesn’t skip a single beat and has amazing animation and character designs. If something is a good time I will not care if it’s deep or not and boy I fucking love these movies

Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas

Movie, 2003, Usa

5/10 Some great some really bad and overall generic

I tend to hate american cinema and this includes that era of animation I have no nostalgia for. Sinbad is in a weird place because I love adventure stories and the visuals of the movie absolutely deliver but it’s very predictable and TANKED by the addition of the female character, pushed in your face as “look we have woman!!!” despite her writing being misogynistic as hell lol. The evil goddess rules tho. This movie would have been a solid 9 if instead of the girl the two dudes had kissed

when i was 13/14, tablemate in school that was kinda shy and had very limited social circle but talked to me endlessly in class lmfao he apparently liked me too but we never dated and went to different schools at 16 y/o. we’re still kinda in touch though! we talked quite a fair bit last month just catching up but he’s more of an acquaintance now

naturally black but dyed brown! my hair has grown quite abit since i dyed it though now its black at the top and brown from above my ears onwards

what color are your eyes?

a very dark brown lmfao almost black

what makes you angry?

irresponsible people. just pushing responsibility to others or avoiding their responsibilities. don’t need you to do a good job with your responsibilities, just don’t make your issues my issues. and if its a shared responsibility like group projects, then do your part to contribute and don’t expect others to cover you

selfish people, in many ways. just being self-centred, not caring about how others feel, doing things for personal gain at the expense of others

speaking in a passive-aggressive/sarcastic manner. i say this even though i’m afraid of confrontation but i much rather someone outright tells me they’re unhappy about something or wants to get a point across. i hate when they talk about it sarcastically or tries to sugar-coat their words to make themselves look less aggressive about their words. tell me straight as it is, if you’re already gonna talk about something bad don’t piss me off with your attitude at the same time

do you like your own name?

rae is nice! has a very nice ring to it and looks pretty!

do you want a boy or a girl as a child?

i don’t.. want one.. but both have their good and bad i can’t decide.. i want a puppy

what are your strengths?

is this an interview question i have had a few interviews over the past weeks i am well-prepared for this HAHAHA

i think i’m pretty resilient! i bounce back from bad times pretty quickly or i psycho myself to see the situation positively. but it is ofc coupled with a lot of complaining to the people around me first

although i hate unpredictable situations and having to quickly adapt to new settings, i think i adapt pretty quickly too. flexible? easy-going? idk what’s the right way to call it but yeah something along those lines. good at it but i still enjoy my stability and calm don’t want to have to quickly adapt to new situations.

what are your weaknesses?

very emotional HAHAH used to be much worse but i often let my emotions rule my head. i think i’ve improved A LOT though i used to be so bad but i think i’m now able to make rational decisions even if im bawling LMFAO

this sounds like a compliment but i’ve been told this too often as well. i tend to be way too nice to people who don’t deserve it. even if the person doesn’t deserve it or they’ve pushed all my buttons in the wrong way possible, i would still try to be as nice and polite as i can. really helps with me working in the f&b industry lmfao.

what’s the colour of your bedspread?

dark blue / grey! 

colour(s) of your room?

white & wood (throughout my house actually + green from the plants in the living room) @yeonjuins says i live in a muji showroom

[watermelonsugawara]

karasuno - asahi

OK LISTENNNN its not just bc hes my og fave ok maybe it is WHATEVER ,,, but irl im really loud and rambunctious, quite literally like noya, and i somehow attract the quiter, more timid guys LMFAO (aka my literal bf rn) and i honestly think we’d make a great couple. i dont wanna say i was popular? but i just mixed well w a lot of people in hs and i feel like asahi would admire that? or like ... like that? IDKK whatever but we deffff balance each other out, he keeps my loud and cocky ass grounded when inneed to slow down, while i help him become more confident and open with others. lots of library study dates, poorly made coffee, naps, n picnics! we both have sewing machines and randomly make each other stuff <3 solid couple imo hehehe ya ik this is my other self ship lit rally shuddup i dont wanna HEAR IT

aoba johsai - iwaizumi

okokokok.... me thinkin hes half filo is canon for me but thats not the point here lmfaooo. honestly i rly think we’d be the pairing where EVERYONEEE CAN FEEL THE SEXUAL/ROMANTIC TENSION BUT WE JUST .... dont do anything ab it JDKSJDJDJ like hella flirty FOR NO REASON!!!! im a flirty bitch and iwa loves to fuel that fire, what can i say!!!! we always look good together when we take pics at formal dances n shit, everyones like surprised we arent the other’s date. i have a few of his sweaters, prob has one of my hats or a bracelet from me. we both thinkin dating fr but we fully choose to suppress it :) LMFAOOO,,, prob hooked up once but got SHY and just continued the stupid flirting game instead bc we’re idiots:)

nekoma - kuroo

honestly i think hes like a solidddd guy bff. like the kind where we can hang and its not rly awkward even when its quiet, or questionable like if we r dating. we r both in a big friend group of like 10 people, his gf is super chill ab us hanging bc the group just WORKS, the lil pairings between friends all work rly well. lets me study at his place all the time bc its much quieter, shitty at cooking but always chooses good movies to watch when we wanna take a break. always down to give rides whenever i need somethin from the store. whack ass clothing style but def willing to coach his ass bc he knows im stylish hehe, also makes up for it w good study playlists and a comfy ass couch to nap in whenever im too lazy to go home

shiratorizawa - ushijima

please just lemme have this one.... im not self shipping i promise .....we r the childhood friends/neighbors that can probably go MONTHS without seeing each other but hang out like no time has passed by. being friends @ a young age is rly the only commonality we have - artist, tiny, loud, self expressive girl and GIGANTIC, quiet, volleyball star boy bein friends ?? people r like ??? Error 404. but again it just works, i always went to his family parties n he went to mine. cooks good food and brings snacks over whenever. prob had a small phase of liking each other but we were either too scared or just in middle school and unsure. he jogs while i ride my bike beside him, we sync our airpods to be listening to the same playlist<3 hates my driving bc i drive like im in a sports car<3

[gontagokuhara]

Now that you’re a good way into the game, what are your thoughts on the Phantom Thieves so far?

OOOOOOOH OK OK

i could go on FOREVER abt these kids but i’ll just give like. a general-ish ranking for now. two caveats tho!

a) im not including goro or akira. despite knowing Quite A Lot about goro, its all secondhand and not lived yet. i could not definitively say whether i love him or hate him if i tried. also no akira bc hes Me. let it be known that i adore him and his design is mad sexy doe

b) i love ALL of the thieves. theres not a single one i dont adore. last place i still very much love!! but the others r just. big faves

ok rank time

makoto. my girl. the absolute TANK of my main party. has one of the more badass personas. i love love love her arc and her growth so far, and i just love her design!! i think she contrasts her sister very compellingly and i love the struggles she has to go through in turning from an unassuming, dilligent, almost subservient student into rebelling against authority she finds unjust in a way that is very Makoto. i fucking love her. my go-to to romance i think (along w hifumi but shhhh)

yusuke. he has not braincells but acrylic paint and homosexual thoughts rolling around in his head and i love him for it. he’s pretentious to the point its goofy and he takes both everything and nothing seriously BUT he also has a really compelling arc and he isn’t just comic relief fodder. he strikes a really good balance between being a valuable asset to the team and a more cautious voice of reason, while also being completely and utterly ridiculous to the point where i’m absolutely rolling whenever he’s around. that man is GAY he is TRANS and he has two pet lobsters named akira 2 and yusuke 2 that he makes kiss. king.

futaba. gonna be real i was TERRIFIED of being introduced to this character because i can just tell based on appearance what fandom incels and hentai addicts do to her. however she is INCREDIBLY compelling, her emotional beats hit HARD, and her relationships with sojiro and akira are just. super super good. i love the way her s-link is playing out thus far and i cant wait to get to know her more. people complain about her as navi being annoying but i dont get it?? she’s way less grating than morgana LMAO. in conclusion futaba queen i wuv you

ann. i feel like she gets left behind past kamoshida’s palace because we’re introduced to someone new each time, but i totally love ann! her relationship with shiho is really good, and im glad its not forgotten once her arc is done. she has fantastic chemistry with the whole group and shes just genuinely good. i have a soft spot bc she shares a va with kaede from dr<3, but i just. love ann. i want more forced interactions between her and akira bc their chemistry as friends is just SO good. stan ann for clear skin

haru. she is a SWEETIE and i love love love her. however i’ve barely unlocked her confidant and havent rly talked to her much outside of the okumura arc. she’s another stable member of my party and her persona FUCKS milady is so cool. she isnt Super fleshed out quite yet (but like. her dad literally did just die like 2 weeks ago in game we got time to grow) and i just love her!

ryuji. i LOOOOOVED ryuji in the first two palaces but he fucking SUCKS now the writers nerfed him HARD. misogyny isnt a cute personality trait, nor is only ever yelling all of your dialogue and arguing with people. the drop in quality from the first part of the game til now is staggering and it pisses me off because ryuji is SOOOOO good. he used to be a solid member of my party til i got haru but at this point ive made him backup out if spite. u all were not lying when u said this game treats ryuji like Shit. bring back gay respecter of women king ryuji 2020

morgana. hes just not as compelling as the other thieves. also how he acted during the okumura arc was so forced and contrived and OBNOXIOUS im still angry about it. hes fine normally and i know he isnt that bad before or after okumura but seriously. the contrived jealousy bullshit had me wanting to put down the game and not come back LMAO. hes only a stable member of my party bc ive spent all my time developing him into my stacked healer so<3 he stays i guess

[dlrge]

lads, ive been going thru a bit of a weird identity...i dont want to call it a crisis, but an identity "thing" ..

i won't get into specifics, but those of you who've been here for a while probably have an idea of how my parents- specifically my mom, were. and being raised the way that i was, i've never rly felt like i truly got to know myself, ive never had a solid sense of self-identity. i was always what my mom wanted me to be, which was the perfect, obedient daughter who did no wrong. but that isn't me, and i don't think that's been me for a long time. i'm still figuring out what my like dreams and aspirations for the future are, but i think i've figured out who i am at present.

i've tried out a couple of different names and pronouns, with a couple of different groups of friends. i didn't tell everyone all at once right away, because i didnt want to settle on one thing until i knew what felt right, so if you didn't know about all this, don't feel bad lol.

but as of today, i'd like to be addressed with they/them pronouns exclusively. as for names, i tried a couple, but i think i've finally found one that fits. "hiero" was a sort of placeholder until i could find The Name, but that was never gonna be my actual name name. "donnie" was another name i went by in some circles, but recently i haven't felt as attached to it; it feels too masculine now. and maybe, at a point, i thought that was what i wanted, but it isn't what i want now. now, at present, i'd like to be called roswell. or ros for short. whatever works. "roswell hogue" has a nice ring to it, i think.

anyways, thats all i had to say. if you read all the way through it, i sure appreciate it. sorry it got a bit long lol.

tl:dr as of today my pronouns r exclusively they/them and i'd like if yall could call me roswell.

yikeskimi’s questions!!

Tell us about the main character(s) in your current WIP!

oKAY SO im gonna try to not make this too long SJKHJGS !! wendy is a very like . prickly character . shes like a cactus . nd she’s not too fond of letting ppl get close, but the ppl who do manage to get close to her are happie 2 learn she would actually die for them . loyalty is a Huge Huge part of her character, and she cares very deeply abt the people she calls family . shes also v sarcastic nd like . ‘open ur eyes dummy’ .

arthur is a kind of person who lives heavily on false pretenses . like he projects this image bc its an image that he can control nd he jsut Rolls w it , but hes actually someone who likes 2 tease his friends nd be friendly to them ,, hes got Issuez nd is very much the type of person to be like ‘o lol im ok :-)...’ nd prioritize the needs of others 

rafael is , in all honesty , just babey . he studied a lot during high school nd rly pushed himself beyond his limits bc he wants to be able 2 go 2 a good college on scholarship nd get a job 2 support his family , nd hes just ?? very responsible nd sweet but that can also manifest into him taking on more than he should nd burning out . 

piper is a very ,, honestlie kinda sad character kjHGJSJ she spends a lot of time just trying 2 appeal to other ppl bc she knows her interest in the supernatural make her a ‘weird’ person nd she wants to be able 2 have real friends ,, but when she learns 2 let go of this she’s very silly nd always making jokes During The Right time ..

“21″ questionsss

I got tagged by @deadg1rls to do a 21 questions prompt but whoever made it only put 18 in? anyway <33

Nicknames: lori is already technically a nickname for my full name, but my significant others are the only ones who call me by my full name right now. im looking forward to hearing it in like official contexts if i ever get it changed legally..but gwyn also came up with the nickname lori lemon for me lol <3

Zodiac sign: sag sun / virgo moon / scorpio rising, although i dont actually know anything abt astrology

Height: 5'9 or 10, i dont remember a solid measure from a doctor in years. the real answer is too tall, i dont know enough women who are taller than me dfhsfghsld

Hogwarts house: never read harry porter and dont really have any interest sryyyy

The last thing I googled: directions of the security office for the mall where i had to work today so i could get into the mall at 5 am (◡︿◡✿)

Favourite musicians: my gut instinct is the groups from love live bc im incapable of separating special interest shit from casual listening lol, but i also dont pay much attention to individual musicians bc i mostly listen to dance music & ive always interpreted those genres being more abt tracks and the culture overall rather than individuals who are “personalities” ig? like they certainly exist but anyway. outside of that i rly like brockhampton, joanna newsom, and rico nasty, both as musicians and when considering their music alone 

Song stuck in your head: denzel curry’s ricky bc @deadg1rls named it in her post and sierra & i just listened to zuu for the first time yesterday !

Following: 507 😶😶😶😶 been meaning to clean it out but its rly overwhelming, ive considered recreating and just following mutuals n other people whose blogs i really like. a friend recently did that n it seems appealing 

Followers: 262, most of whom came from a single post i added to lol

Do you get asks? not rly but i also dont use tumblr consistently or at peak times so. it makes sense why 😛

Lucky numbers: 117 & 9

What you’re wearing: a cami with some light lace that i wore under my uniform for the few hours i was at work today & some softtt joggers 

Dream trip: idk, somewhere my loved ones and i wont face discrimination i guess. that sounds flippant but bc of various life circumstances ive never really thought v seriously abt being able to travel

Instruments: i played saxophone in middle and high school and learned to play guitar in my last year of high school bc i had a free period! & i still need to learn DAWs or whatever i wanna use if i one day want to start spinning (talking like half metaphorically)

Languages: english native, trying to start actively learning japanese again since i had to drop out so that i can attend a language school soon & hopefully translate or interpret, maybe do smth useful with myself fhgsdfgs..also snippets of spanish, hebrew, and french. i love learning languages when i have focus & motivation though, the structure of japanese works really well with the way my brain pieces together language which is why i 

Favourite songs: im going to try to limit myself to just a few lmao, they change a lot but some that remain are in california by joanna newsom, most of jpegmafia’s veteran and singles since, also most of hannah diamond’s music (esp soon i wont see u at all), key lime og by rico nasty, ritm by µ-ziq, parallel by hiroyuki oda, & the big big beat by azealia banks

Random fact: i really want to take care of ferrets as pets once my family is in a place where we can handle them!! i loooooove ferrets theyre so good
