astro notes volume nine

༊࿐ gemini’s often get hated on because a lot of people hate themselves but don��t realize it. gemini’s are mirrors. they try to relate to you as much as possible. this is also why they’re so charming. they match people’s vibes. long term though people tend to dislike them since they don’t wanna meet themselves/be around people like them. this isn’t always the case of course. when low vibrational there is definitely gemini’s that are fake since the sign is associated with gossip. there is times when they will be nice to your face and then talk bad about you behind your back. however, high vibrational ones put their energy toward their interests and don’t gossip, but instead have better communication skills and are direct with people

༊࿐ aquarius’ are probably the most misunderstood sign. every one i’ve met has just had a chaotic upbringing and because of this they have lots of chaos going on their mind sometimes. they don’t always know how to express themselves perfectly as they’re the opposite sign of leo, so they can come off as cold and insensitive. i’ve actually found often times they don’t even truly know when they’re being insensitive though until they’ve been called out by someone and then (if they’re evolved) they do try and correct this if they know they’ve hurt someone, so in other words it’s not that they don’t care about you, it’s that they can be quite literally unaware due to their upbringing and them being raised in a “cold” household. i would say especially aquarius moons though

༊࿐ moon square mars can indicate what your soul truly wants to do in life doesn’t always align with your actions and it may take some time for you to make changes in your life or change who you are as a person. for these people change is harder than it is for others since the moon is associated with comfortability, squares create obstacles, and mars is where we take action they want to stay in their comfort zone and can lack motivation at times depending on where they happen to be at in life. people with this aspect should force themselves to do things they don’t want to in order to try and work through this square

༊࿐ venus and the ascendant are great placements to check for fashion, but if you want more info about fashion you can also check the house of your neptune as it is the higher octave of venus. the sign in neptune doesn’t change often, so it won’t be telling, but the house can be helpful! for example, neptune in the 10h could indicate looking better in classy clothes, professional clothes, brown clothes, or darker colored clothing

༊࿐ jupiter is the planet of ease, so yes it can show things that come to us with ease, but it can also show areas where we’re lazy because jupiter discusses the areas we haven’t had to ever work for. for example, jupiter in the 5h could indicate being too lazy to have any hobbies that are productive and just enjoying watching netflix, jupiter in the 4h could indicate being too lazy to leave the house and just being a huge homebody, etc

༊࿐ your 4th house ruler can tell the type of things that you inherit from your family members. this doesn’t just include hereditary things, but also things we have in common with our family that we’ve learnt as children and taken into adulthood. for example, often those with their 4th house ruler in the 7th house act a lot like their parents do in their own relationships once they start dating or genetically it could mean having similar beauty to one of your parents (usually the mother)

༊࿐ your 8th house profection year is at 19 years old which is why we hear most people say that 19 is a really hard age. it’s a very transformational time in your life for multiple reasons. 19 is also the number of negative karma in numerology, so it will especially be a struggle if you’ve got a lot of unresolved karma that you’re carrying with you. it can be even worse if you’re a gemini or cancer ascendant because it will also be a saturn year for you on top of it being an 8h year. for profection charts everyone will have the same house years, but not planets in each year

༊࿐ the part of fortune can show what type of luck we attract at our worst moments (when we need it most). this is different than jupiter representing ways in our life we get lucky in general. for example, an aries part of fortune can indicate getting what you want by being direct/assertive with people or getting really lucky during super dangerous moments when you’ve could’ve literally died. i know someone with their part of fortune in the 10th house who didn’t go to college and basically lounged around at 18-19 doing nothing with their life, but then at 20 created an online business and got really lucky because it happened to blow up on tiktok. they were at the worst point in their life before their company blew up though, so as you can see part of fortune is more about major lucky events that happen right after you’re at a low point in life

TWD crushing on (an Oblivious) Reader

YOOO WE KINDA DUMB

upset there isnt alot of twd x male reader fics that arent smut but anyways

my very select few men💀💀 i might do a part 2 i just wanted to post

THIS IS A NWLNW BLOG!! WOMEN DNI

Daryl Dixon

Our man Mr. Daryl Hiding His Emotions Dixon 🫶🫶

Its fine you didn't notice at first

He seems like he kinda hates you from how quiet he is. Quite the opposite

Being quite in love with someone who isnt a woman is kinda just like. Not processed in his mind??

He didn't know how to feel at first

But eventually he confessed to Carol about how he feels (she suspected something but anyways)

To be honest he had a plan to ask you out

But was extremely extremely hesitant

"They prolly don' even like guys" He'd say

I think both of yall are oblivious

It was a group effort to get yall together

Like all these long ass runs, leaving gifts saying it was from the other

You probably had to be the one to confess ngl

Glenn Rhee

Glenn aint too obvious. Thats what he tells himself atleast

Hes very obviously crushing on you. The only one who cant see it is you

He'd pull harmless pranks, compliment you, help you around, usually adding on a lil wink for lil extra

Yet you still didn't get it. You just thought he was being a goody good friend

Especially since its a bit hard to find any queer folk that like you around here IN FUCKING VIRGINIA/GEORGIA

"You look nice today, Y/n." *Shitty Glenn wink* "Oh thanks man!"

Your obviousness is apart of what Glenn absolutely loved about you though

It gives him time to really think out his lil confession

Which took a while but he had it down! Flowers!!

Who doesnt like flowers??

Well Glenn originally planned to give you flowers. That was until Eugene let it slip that he likes you one time💀💀

You ended up interrupting Glenn like mid confession just because you knew

Simon

Negan teases him for his obviousness

Simon would yell it to the top of his lungs if he must (he probably has to)

Always gives you any ice cream or first shot of a drink

He also always has his arm around you or is LITERALLY FLIRTING WITH YOU

You couldnt tell tho. he looked gay and homophobic to be honest.

So you just didnt say anything

Simon, running out of ideas, asked Negan for any ideas

Since its, Negan what do you expect? Something cute and romantic?? No

SHOW OFF YOUR SEXUAL PROWESS OF COURSE‼️

So with this in mind Simon approached your room with some drinks and did what he does best!

Sexual jokes about his dick and such seeing if you'd take the bait

You didn't you just got a bit flustered and laughed along

Until yknow he actually just went with the impulse and kissed you

FINALLY YOU GET THAT HES LIKE IN LOVE WITH YOU

Owen (Wolf)

The king of being either really obvious or the complete opposite

Depending on your guy's situation then heres the various ways itll go down

Owens a prisoner in Alexandria? He'll tell you nearly everything about him. Along with the fact if he gets out of there hes taking you with him!

How romantic!!

If youre apart of the Wolves then you have for sure caught his eye!

He'd do anything for you and I mean anything! Well as long as he's yknow still in control of the situation.

You cant ignore him either. He'll make as much noise as possible for you to go back to talking to him.

Owen will try to stalk you to see what you like

Or try to get that info out of you through a weird interrogation

You dont notice though. If anything youre a bit weirded out that this kinda crazy cult guy is like asking you your favorite color but anyways

Eventually in the middle of one of these investigations hes just gonna kiss you (probably quite roughly too)

"I like you. So youre mine now." "I- Ok sure??"

WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN- CHARACTER REFERENCE #5.

CRAFTYCORN VAN CREATI - DESIGN AND DATA.

INFORMATION AND DATA.

Name: CraftyCorn Van Creati.

Age: 22.

Height: 3'0 mts/9'8 fts.

Species: Smiling critter creature. Unicorn.

Occupation: half-time teacher/artist.

Genre: female (she, they).

Sexuality: pan.

Magical usser type: Witcher.

Birth place: Skylands (Elliot's Heights).

Birth day: april 2nd.

Personality:

The newly titled young witcher DeColorina, is a somewhat shy but enthusiastic lady. A person who usually looks at the beauty of things and can find charm and inspiration in the most common things; Unlike Dogday who grew up surrounded by the typical culture of witchers, Crafty grew up in a family that disowned them to the point that she ran away from home as a child just because she couldn't adapt to what they demanded of her.

She even finds it difficult to admit or carry the attitudes of a witcher such as using her magic so sporadically or the ability to cope with her treatment, which causes her to accidentally manifest her magic in a somewhat explosive way, but not harmful.

She is someone quite cultured, sometimes being a voice of information, translation or presentation in a complementary or alternative way to Bubba; and when she gains trust with someone she can talk about her love of art and plants, feeling freer to be able to use them without problems in the comfort of her studio or talking with people she truly trusts. She's Not only is she good at painting, but she is very skilled at creating sculptures and acting (although she is terrible at sewing)..

Although she is an affable and calm person, she has moments where she usually makes me very emotional, aggressive or explosive. Especially when it comes to things like duels or conflicts(being a recurring gag how he gets too involved in a situation like a sports game or a chase that he ends up helping one of her friends.).

about her work and daily life.

Around half year before the events, the newly titled Witcher DeColorina, trained by the Witcher of "Crow" (Dogday's mother) in everything she could, went to Main City in search of repaying the kindness of the Sunnyhowl family to her.

Since she arrived in Main city, she works in a local kindergarten (because she cannot live on art alone, yet) where she works as a teacher with a group of 10 sisters who each work teaching a different subject; getting along better with the only one of the sisters who is also a witch, Poma Delight.

Depending on the situation, she works 5 days a week from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and on Saturday mornings.

In her free time she will spend it at her house (which she uses as a workshop) or at the restaurant. the piggyA recurring joke is that if it comes suddenly it is full of paint or leaves.

Magic data (and other skills):

Unlike Dogday, she has good combat skills, in addition to that she can defend herself in these ways:

- Quite fast analysis of situations.

- persuasion in difficult situations.

- if things get tense, a stick is also a good option to defend yourself.

- also be careful with his kicks; They are literally hard hats.

as a witcher, she has good handling; but not perfect of it. She still often has the habit of losing control in small ways.

Her title in magic is based on the 'orchidae die Decolorina' or 'Decolorina flower', a variant of the 'Salvae Terrae' or 'plant of salvation' from witcher mythology.

The 'orchidae di decolorina' is also called "royal bloom" because in ancient times it was considered the opposite of poppies and due to its rarity in its color palette it was considered more valuable than diamonds.

The uses that she gives to it are=

#1 plant flowering: this is the most common use you can give to your magic. but it can only give growth to plants that have flowers and fruits; Sometimes it is usually bigger than I expected or it is the wrong plant.

#2 tracking with flowers: she can perceive people through flowers; She can't see them literally, it works more like a radar for "presences."

#3 manipulating and giving life to plants by giving them small commands: similar to Dogday and probably learned from Mrs. Sunnyhowl; Crafty can give life and small commands to plants, although her command is "can you help crafty with...?"

#4 give life to the paintings: as an extra skill with his love of art and his somewhat tight economic situation, he realized that by using crushed flowers and fruits, his paintings have a more striking finish, and sometimes when they continue cool ones react to your mood (scaring someone once you made them angry or scary)

(funfact: For Picky's birthday he decided to take a portrait for her; However, while painting her, she had been scared after watching a movie by a certain "Tomie" and the painting of her unconsciously took on a similar appearance. Bubba thought her gift was in bad taste, but Picky was so delighted with it that she insisted on paying her a miniature version of theyself.)

Unlike Dogday, she has not yet mastered the voluntary form of overflowing, so she never resorts to that form... yet.

other random data:

favorite food: margarita pizza «especially the restaurant version of picky that includes real daisys *jiggles*»

Favorite dessert: Pavlova «creamy and delicious!!! especially with confided flowers!!»

hated food:haute cuisine, especially tenderloin Wellington «I have bad memories of haute cuisine in my biological home, it didn't help that most of my relatives were carnivores and it was disgusting»

smell: Jazmin.

strength: creativity, thinking outside the house, kindness

weakness: explosive, shy, low confidence

favorite physical appearance: long hair «At home they would have hated me for having it so long, but I love it and I can customize it however I want»

hated physical appearance: height and horn «I don't hate them per se, but it's very difficult for me to find clothes and especially hats without having problems»

person you respect most: Mr. Sunnyhowl's pack «I can't choose anyone from Didi's family over another! everyone was so sweet and kind to me that they treated me like part of her family! *ugly crying*»

person you don't want as an enemy: Bobby «I had bad sleeping habits, but the mere idea of her chasing me like she does Catnap terrifies me so much that I prefer to perform less but sleep well»

hobby:visit art galleries, gardening, participate in duels

Some crush?:«When I was younger I quite liked Dogday, but now I see him as an older brother. Now... I have seen a strange bounty hunter who... is cute... I would like to know more about him...»

🍒Random Hashiras headcanons!!

🍒Warnings: none

🔥Rengoku Kyojuro

🔥 His body temperature is ALWAYS (and when I say always i mean ALWAYS) WARM. It dosn't matter if it's literally freezing outside, he will still be warm (imagine hugging him during a snowy day omg)!

🔥He started styling his hair that way since he was a kid because he wanted to look like his dad since he admired him so much (the same thing happened to Senjuro actually)

🔥 During Hashiras meetings he ALWAYS says some type of dad jokes to like relieve some of the tension yk

📢Uzui Tengen

📢 He asks his wives help to paint his nails and sometimes he also lets them pick the colors (Suma and Makio often end up fighting over wich color to pick lol)

📢 Him and Rengoku are best buddies so Uzui always tries to find Rengoku a wife or atleast a girlfriend! I feel like Tengen has at least once tried to convince Rengoku to go to the Entertainment District

📢 I feel like overdressing for casual occasions is his favourite pastime (he's so flamboyant)

🍡Mitsuri Kanroji

🍡 Pretty sure she will do eating comps with other Hashiras. I think that Uzui would be the first to challenge her saying something like "Despite your flamboyant look, Mitsuri, I'm sure I can beat you in an eating comp-" he never stood a chance. Like ever.

🍡 Aside from her bubbly personality, I feel like on the inside she's very insicure about her appearence. I feel like she would like to gain a bit of weight but it's just kind of impossible for her. She never talked to anyone about her insecurities.

🍡 I think she would LOVE to have a 'girl's night' with Shinobu. During the said 'girl's night' Mitsuri would enjoy cooking (especially eating what they cooked after ^^), doing make-up or skin care, talking about boys and other girly stuff like that!

🦋Shinobu Kocho

🦋 When she was younger she got bullied SO BADLY for her height, and that is the reason why she's always on the defensive when someone mentions her height, it dosn't matter if the person is doing it to make fun of her or not.

🦋 Her favourite butterfly breed is the Purole Emperor!!💜

🦋 I feel like whenever she gets a compliment from someone she gets SUPER flustered. I think she gets flustered easyly for some reason. She'll try to hide her blush with her hands or by looking towards another direction and say something like "Fufu you're going to make me blush silly!"

☁️Muichiro Tokito

☁️ Even if he tends to forget people's names easyly, i feel like he would remember the names of the ones who kind of gave him some type of lesson, like life lesson or smth.

☁️ I think he's not very close to none of the Hashiras and that is another reason why he tends to be more shy and stoic. I also think that he would actually enjoy spend time with someone kinda like him (if you get what I mean lol) like cloud gazing with someone or sharing toughts about whatever is around in that moment.

☁️ In my opinion, among of the Hashiras, Uzui and Rengoku are the ones he likes the least. The main reason is because of their loudness, like let's be honest, they're 100% the loudest ones of the group. Muichiro prefers to be around quiet people.

🐍Obanai Iguro

🐍 The reason why he loves Mitsuri is because she is the complete opposite of him. Like she's lively, bubbly, caring, cute and all that stuff while he's stubborn, grumpy, reserved, diffident etc.

🐍 I feel like his humour would be based in sarcasm. I also think that he would be the type to say "no" when somebody asks him to hand them something but then proceed to pass them what they asked for. And ofc dark humour. He will try his best though to not use that kind of humour when around Mitsuri!

🐍 His favourite places to stay while relaxing are high places like trees or roofs. He likes how people can't quite notice him when he's up there and he secretly kind of enjoys scaring other Hashiras sometimes lol!

🪨Gyomei Himejima

🪨 He is super sweet, kind and caring towards children. Like imagine this: Gyomei is peacefully walking on a village's path when two random kids bump into him. The two kids start frenetically apologizing when Gyomei crouches down before placing his large hands on the two kids' heads. "Don't worry, little ones, go ahead and continue playing" He says with a gentle smile on his face (OMG I JUST LOVE HIM LOL).

🪨 He enjoys helping other Hashiras out with everyday chores, like getting something from a shelf that is too high or other stuff like that! I think he's kind of a big brother figure to all of them.

🪨 For some reason I feel like he loves cats just as much as Mitsuri does! And that is why sometimes they hang out together and go in search for cats to feed and pet! ^^

🔪Sanemi Shinazugawara

🔪 Even if be tries to act tough, he deeply cares about other Hashiras. He sees them as family and since he lost most of his real family, he dosn't want to loose his second one.

🔪 He's not experienced AT ALL with women and that is why he gets SO flustered around them (just like his brother Genya i love them sm) but unlike Genya, he's great at hiding it. Also I feel like not many women could be attracted to him, not because he's not attractive as a man, but because of the kinda scary gaze he gives them when they approach him, he dosn't do that on porpouse though!

🔪 Just as he does for the Hashiras, he DEEPLY cares about his brother Genya and he feels kinda bad for everytime he didn't mention him to the other Hashiras or for whenever he avoided him (they deserve so much better ngl!)

🌊Giyuu Tomioka

🌊 He dosn't fully understand why the other Hashiras don't like him and that actualky hurts him. I feel like somtimes he just zones out thinking about why the others don't like him and stuff like that.

🌊 Sometimes he tries to start convos with other Hashiras but it always ends up being awkard ^^'. I also think that he tried to like hug someone atleast once but it all ended up being weird LOL. He probabily tried hugging Mitsuri, not because he is interest in her romantically or smth but because she's kind and sweet to everyone so she would have probabily agreed to hugging him! The only issue was that while he was awkwardly hugging her, Obanai appeared out of nowhere and started chasing Giyuu until nightime while Mitsuri was just standing there confused as hell.

🌊 Oppositely to Rengoku, i feel like his body would be perpetually cold, it would warm up though if he was near a fire or near something warm.

🍒A/N: First time writing about headcanons! I'm so excited to post this oml! ^^

[hirokari]

give 'em back, please?

wc: 0.8k words | g: fluff, christmas!!!. college!au, gn!reader | w: none! | a/n: nyehehehehehe it's christmas time its fluffy fluffy donghyuck time heeheheheheh this one is for sunny's little christmas loving butt

Lee Donghyuck is many things to you. Another student attending literature lectures at 9 in the morning— though, he doesn’t seem to indulge in it as much as you like to—, the boy who you’d mouth answers to when he’s asked to recite something back to the lecturer, the boy who’d stolen your pens just for the sole purpose of lending a pen to you when you’d asked for it, the silly, silly boy who’d “accidentally” stepped on your shoes, sticking his tongue out as he gives you a half-assed apology and snickering when you attempt to get back at him.

Though, today, he’s a missing student.

You’re a little disappointed, you must admit. He’d been an extra ray of sunshine in the morning, and you’d considered you’d especially needed it this morning, because it’s finals week. You figured you’d see him today since he’s supposed to join this exam, but you conclude the opposite with a small frown.

Bottom lip caught in between the gnawing of your teeth, you can’t help but feel a little spiritless as you start the exam. A pen twirls in between your fingers as you read the first question, scribbling an answer against the hard surface with your pen.

Ten minutes pass. ‘It’s fine,’ You think. ‘This isn’t too hard.’ You’re not about to rely your grade point average on some sunshine boy.

You’re about to scribble another answer to your paper when you jump at the sudden sound of a thump against the glass to your right. Your fellow classmates had been taken aback by it too, attention casted to the window.

Stupid Lee Donghyuck holds a paper against the glass of the window that reads ‘YOU GOT THIS, Y/N!!!’ in a bright red ink– which you recognize to be the very color of the pen you’d coincidentally lost a week earlier. You’ll make sure to talk to him about that.

Cheeks dusting red, you raise a little in your seat, struggling to stifle the laugh bubbling in your throat when Donghyuck does a little dance when he meets eyes with you, knees bouncing up and down in a childish manner.

“I- don’t. Know him. I swear.” You say in response to the curious glances your classmates give you.

The lecturer hurries outside in a rush after his attempts at shooing the boy away from inside the hall had failed, and you watch as Donghyuck bickers with the adult in a comedic behavior, obviously putting effort into amusing you. It worked.

“I’m terribly sorry, sir,” You mumble meekly when he returns, though he doesn’t acknowledge your apology, holding a slight grudge against your disturbance.

The chilly winter air creeps under the thick layers of your clothes and still manages to bite and nip at your skin, eliciting a yelp and goosebumps from you. Your nose had grown red– you don’t know if it’s from the scratchy crappy Christmas scarf Donghyuck had gotten you earlier that month or if it was the winter, but you don’t like it either way.

“Lee Donghyuck,” You grumble once you spot the boy rushing up to you. “Hi!” He greets you, cheeks rosy as he grabs your hands with his own gloved ones. He notices your undressed hands almost immediately, acting quick to slide his gloves off his own hands and fitting your hands into them instead.

You couldn’t help but freeze. The feeling of his cold, slender fingers touching the skin of yours as the warmth of his gloves welcome your hands had quite literally numbed your brain.

“How’d you do? How was the exam?”

It’s cruel, you think, that he expects you to give a genuine, well articulated answer after what he’d done.

“Ah- uh, it went… well. Though, it’d probably have gone better if we didn’t have a little bear banging at our windows.”

“I wasn’t banging on them!”

“Hey, I knew you wrote on that paper with my pen. Please, I beg you, return it. It’s Christmas.”

Donghyuck lets out a scoff, “Are you really pulling the Christmas card right now?” You roll your eyes, pulling his bare hands into your gloved ones and shoving them into his pockets, “Obviously. Give ‘em back, please?”

You’re convinced it’s the cold that causes Donghyuck’s skin to bloom redder as he presses his body closer against yours, grinning. “Well, only since you asked so nicely,” He gushes, brushing his nose against yours, mouth tickling against the scarf he’d gotten you.

“Are these hand warmers?”

“Mhm.”

“You don’t need my gloves! Give ‘em back, please?”

You can’t help but blush when he repeats what you’d said in a similar tone. “Nu-uh! I’m keeping these.” Though, Donghyuck doesn’t seem to mind that you want his stuff. A stupid lovesick grin plasters on his stupid face as he stupidly laughs into your scarf, “Okay. Keep it.”

Disastrously Good Intentions

Adam Warlock x Star Lord!Sister Reader

Prompt:

When Adam and the Guardians decide to throw you a baby shower, all does not go as planned. 

Word Count: 899

A/N: I’m back with more Adam Warlock x Reader baby one shots! This is shorter than I usually write, but I wanted to get something out! Here is a LINK to the master-list of all of the one shots! Requests are open! I’m thinking that maybe the next one shot might be about celebrating the reader’s and Adam’s baby’s first birthday? Or Adam’s first Father’s Day? Thoughts? I hope you enjoy! -Jen

​                          Disastrously Good Intentions

If it hadn’t been for Adam’s unnaturally quick reaction time, you would’ve surely hit the ground trying to stagger backwards away from the unmanned cart full of presents that careened past you. The sight before you was something you hadn’t quite expected. Balloons of all pastel shades were strung up--though many popped, from various railings and beams. There was a banner that read “WAR”, which, from the letters you saw scattered on the ground at one point, must've said “BABY WARLOCK”. It was kinda fitting though. The battlefield aspect. Especially when your eyes landed on the cake that looked like a literal bomb had gone off inside of it. Icing was everywhere. Literally, everywhere. 

“This wasn’t what I had envisioned when I learned about pregnancy customs from your planet.” Adam sighed in defeat, both of you watching as Drax accidentally collapsed one of the table legs while trying to steady another. “We wanted to surprise you with a baby shower. I wanted to surprise you.” 

You rested your hand on the swell of your stomach. Seven months with two to go. Life had been pretty boring since you had to take a step away from missions. Gods, you missed it. What point was it to be a Guardian when the most excitement you dealt with was settling petty disputes between Knowhere’s citizens? Your baby’s health and safety was of the utmost importance and you’d do anything for her, but you couldn’t help but feel a little envious whenever Adam returned for duty and told you what the team had accomplished. But now, for the first time in awhile, you actually felt something. Small as it was. 

“Oh, I am definitely surprised.” You assured him, amusement finding you as Groot popped more balloons than he managed to reattach. “And you did all of this? For me?” 

“Yes! Well, everyone assisted of course. Peter was of the greatest use. Last time when you both visited your grandfather, he brought those magazines? You know from that place where you can pay and they do the imaging of the baby? What we do here, but much more complex and thorough.” 

Ah, the sonogram place. Not a doctor’s office, but one of those companies where you could go with your loved ones and see your baby on the screen. You’d taken your grandfather a few times so he could witness his great grandchild’s heartbeat first hand. See her wiggle and even get a few pictures as a keepsake out of it. Peter tagged along each time making it a Quill family affair. Though you never noticed that he borrowed the waiting room’s only literature…

“I see…” You nodded, trying to hide your smile as you caught sight of Kraglin getting after Cosmo--who had given into her dog nature and had taken to enjoying some of the fallen cake. “I like the decorations.” 

“Mantis and Nebula. Well, Nebula after a great deal of convincing from Mantis. She wanted to make it clear that she wouldn’t do this for just anyone and that you better be grateful. I’m certain she meant that with love. You know how she can be with words. She’s just well…she’s Nebula.” Adam said with a smile. “Do you like the colors? Rocket picked those.”

“Rocket?!” You snorted, stunned by the news. “...I never pictured him being someone who’d be into color schemes.” 

“Well, Drax wanted to go full black and grey, but Peter informed him those were the opposite colors from a celebration like this.” Adam sighed, his mouth curving into a small frown. “This was supposed to be perfect. Just like in the magazines. And I’ve failed, Y/N…”

Out of the corner of your eye, you saw your brother running with a bucket of water. You weren’t sure if you wanted to know why. Rocket was making wild gestures at Groot who had somehow managed to get the banner strings wrapped around his branches. Nebula seemed to have just given up on it all as Mantis haphazardly juggled a tower’s worth of presents. And Drax…well, that table would never be of use again. At least Cosmo was enjoying herself. 

“Hey.” You turned so you faced Adam completely. Resting your hand on his cheek, you made him look at you. “Sweetheart, you didn’t fail at all.”

“But, your party. It looks like…” 

“Not like a normal baby shower? Yeah, that’s true.” You smiled, chuckling softly. “I mean, it’s wild. Chaotic. A big mess. But that’s what we all are. This party, all of it.” You gestured around you. “When I see this sight around me. I see my family. Not some boring, structured thing. You couldn’t give me or…” You took Adam’s hand and placed it on your stomach feeling your baby move from within. “Her a better celebration. I love this. All of this. And I love you.” 

You leaned up and kissed Adam gently. His eyes lit up and his smile returned. Both of you looked to the wreckage that was your party, though it felt wrong and yet silly calling it that. 

“I have an idea.” You said with a grin.

“Oh?” Adam inquired, an eyebrow raised. 

“How about we go over there and help poor Mantis before those presents topple over. I’d kinda like to see what is inside.” 

Adam smiled and placed a kiss on your forehead. “That, my darling, sounds like a glorious idea.”

FINALLY. AN OUTLET TO RAMBLE!!! /vpos

rahhhh, I was having so many thoughts about them throughout the years!! (I've been into fnaf since 2014, but started developing a foundation for the au back in 2021, I think? ANYWAYS!!)

With Michael it's pretty mediocre, the usual thing for most of the Afton family interpretations in fnaf AUs. His father not being the best parent, Michael being mama's boy, his mom trying to search for good qualities in him, Elizabeth being competitive with Michael, etc, etc. I think the main difference here is that his motivation is somewhat complex? I mean, he was (sorry to say that) an unplanned kid for Clara and William and Mike knows that his father's attitude towards him is based only on that thing (before the accident); Michael knows that his father despises him for William's very own mistake, the man unwilling to acknowledge that, and Michael despises William in return, in a "it's not even my fault!" kind of way. and he's right. but something about wanting to get some attention from a father figure, the same attention Elizabeth and Evan are getting regardless of what they do, is pushing him into being bad news. His father acknowledges his existence when Michael gets in trouble? He'll get into some more trouble, out of spite, only for William to give him some attention, even if it's a negative one. That's also the main reason why Michael gets into a bratty friend group at school, where boys are daring one another to do stupid shit like getting into fights, getting onto someone's property, pulling harmful "pranks". because these guys get him, they give him shoulder pats and he feels included in this environment.

Jeremy (I know I'm talking way too little about his lore. And this huge essay-like post is the first one to even mention it, LMAOOO) was originally from California and his family had a pretty decent life there. His dad got a promotion and a good job offering at some town in Utah and it was a good chance for Fitzgeralds, so they moved out without any doubt. Jeremy's mom was a really strict mom, a disaster bound to happen, but his father balanced it out with his sweet personality. He showed Jeremy different genres of music, especially the 60s beach rock, and Jeremy started exploring the field ever since, even after his father's death (I didn't come up with a cause of death yet) :[

When Jeremy's father died, everything sort of just went downhill and they moved to Hurricane, of all places, running low on money, his mother also going through emotional turmoil and addictions after her beloved husband's death, with Jeremy's older sister (Janet, she's 3 years older than him) replacing the mother figure in boy's life. he is chill and laid-back, though, and didn't give up even when Mike's bully crew chose him as one of scapegoats for the jokes, standing up for himself. he even once went as far as fighting Michael 1×1.

They just work together, after becoming friends and Mike apologizing, because they are, quite literally, the opposites. I looove writing opposites. Jeremy has a strict mom drowning in grief and being a bad parent to him and his sister, yet he had a wonderful and warm experience of being loved by his dad. Michael doesn't know what it's like to get approval from his dad, but he has a kind and loving mother. The mother issues/father issues parallels. Michael overthinks and is very affected by the image of him people around him have, Jeremy, on the contrary, acts too recklessly and never thinks about others' opinions on him. The orange/yellow color scheme, the purple/brown color scheme, I love these guys, their dynamics makes me want to kick feet and shake like a chihuahua.

Aw shucks, thanks for the informative knowledge on jousting during this period (I respect the commitment to historical accuracy 👍). But now that you’ve mentioned masquerades…

— Penalanon (recovering from losing a 50/50. It was my first 10 pull since forever 💀)

misc lore drop day 41/?

Physically restraining myself from giving a way too historically accurate detailing of what masquerades specifically would have been like at that time. I read way too much about them, and I’ve decided I like the more fantastical, stereotypical version we usually tend to think of. Or I guess more accurately, the Venetian version over the early 18th century Viennese style. It was much more formal and complicated at that time, and it hurts my head to even think about all the etiquette. So I’ll just stick to the typical dressing up in costumes while wearing masks, which they did in fact do! Though I guess maybe they’d be very stuffy and formal for most of the part in Austria, and then “go on formal business” down to Venice to have more fun with it hehe. Imagine them wearing opposite colors as their costumes hahaha.

My first thought is that Fernando would absolutely love the plausible deniability that wearing a mask and non typical clothing would give him. Though don’t tell him, but…everyone except him is pretty aware that it’s him. I’ve talked a bit about this before, but he is much more comfortable being affectionate or more down to earth if it won’t affect his carefully crafted image. He really believes in the idea that a monarch should be a lofty, untouchable figure. Even if his identity wouldn’t be completely unknown, it still gives him a level of secrecy and freedom he doesn’t have the chance to feel almost all of the time. Especially if they were guests in another city! I feel like both he and Seb expect each other to cavort with other strangers who they could never be around otherwise. Yet they drift towards each other. Seb likes this Fernando, a Fernando that isn’t hyper aware of his surroundings at literally every moment. A Fernando who acts like the flirty, wild playboy who Seb had heard he was in his youth. He’s usually so stiff and formal with couple dances, but now he’s grabbing Seb’s hand more than is socially appropriate, brushing his waist. Seb thought he had just been an awkward dancer before, someone doing it just because it had to be done. But now he can see Fernando’s passion, his genuine enjoyment. They don’t talk, they just dance the night away, pretending to be two strangers enamored with each other.

I like when they can have these moments where they’re in their own little bubble. Where Fernando doesn’t feel the need to hide his true self away, and Seb isn’t compelled to tease him about every little thing because of it. They’re just them for once, no formality, no expectations, no spectators, no judges of character. Meanwhile everyone is watching them and is like, awww the royal couple is getting along so well!! So they leave them be. Imagine them the next morning though, not outright talking about what happened. “So, that was some ball,” says Seb, “did you find manage to find yourself some company?” Fernando replies, “yes, and he was quite a fine dancer,” and sips his tea while trying to hide his fond smile. Seb has to look away so Fernando doesn’t get spooked by how big his grin is.

Ive got more, although this is more focused on the cultural side of Cybertron. So not counting the combiner teams or the mega sized bots I made a size chart.

Reading from left to right, the characters are as follows. Rewind, Knockout, Arcee, Soundwave, standard Vehicon, Bulkhead, Optimus, Bulkhead, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, Megatron, Predaking.

Breakdown and Ultra Magnus are practically the average height of most bots, although the upper class consider Bulkhead & Optimus the best heights.

there are many different casts, with most of them being middle to low class. Each cast has unique physical qualities that help with their work. example: orian pax as an archivists would have multiple pairs of arms and a higher processor power, Megatronus as a miner would have heavy armor and longer rang comms.

bots are born without any special paint color, they may have colored metal but only the upper class have specialty finish (unless your job requires it then you may get it). The less bare metal you have showing the more rich you seem, the more plain metal you have to more people look down on you. Along with that, the more armor over the spark chamber the more secure you are supposed to be. Bots like Breakdown & Shockwave are the peak of this concept, with Soundwave being the literally opposite.

OOH OKAY!! Find it really interesting that a Convoy like Optimus’ height is considered the best, I would’ve expected sleeker, smaller frames since large frames are typically used for working, but height as a show of status is a really cool concept!! Love how tiny Rewind is, poor guy just like me fr! Average being breakdowns size is understandable, though I wonder what the ratio of mechs in castes is (what’s the biggest caste, how does this impact the average?) PREDAKING IS MASSIVE, GOOD FOR HIM KING. Though I guess it makes sense on the evolutionary scale you last sent!! Soundwave being on the shorter side is just mwah, he packs quite the punch. THE SPECIALIZED FRAMES FOR THEIR JOBS!! (Would love to se Orion with multiple arms) and it makes a lot of sense especially for medics (I’m surprised that lower castes like miners get anything 😭) This especially makes me wonder about all the special abilities and quirks that some of the characters have, like did they have blasters integrated BEFORE the war? THE COLORS!! Okay okay this is so so cool to me and I feel it makes sense. Idk if Prime Megs was naturally grey but I feel he is and I like how that’s reflective of the coloring idea, makes me think a lot about how much “skin” they’re showing. Are the rescue bots included in this also? (Pre-Earth they were all solid metallic colors, makes me wonder about being a rescue bot)

[seriously-nobody]

I was gonna turn on anon but I decided against it, would it be okay if I actually asked you a question? Since I know you write reader insert fics yourself I thought you would maybe relate to what I’m feeling and if so I wanted to see how you deal with it. I absolutely love writing x reader fics, I get really attached to my favorite characters and I love pouring that love into writing form for myself and others to enjoy but sometimes I still feel embarrassed/ashamed/anxious about it and about how others might perceive it. I know there used to be a big stigma behind it and I got made fun of for it for a while and even now when I’ve gained enough confidence to start posting them to public places I still get a little worried that someone is sitting being the screen and thinking “wow this is cringe” especially because it’s most of the content I write and I don’t often write about ships or storylines like a lot of other people do. It’s a bit silly because so far most people have been nothing but nice to me but I still feel a little bit anxious about it especially as I keep writing more and more of them and wonder “oh man is this getting irritating for people”

I apologize for the slight vent, I just found it a little difficult to articulate the emotions in a more simple way. Have you ever felt like when you write fanfic? And if so what helps you kinda push through it and start accepting your writing more?

You don’t have to reply to this if you don’t want to or if it doesn’t really apply to you, and again I’m sorry for dumping a wall of text into your asks- I just got stuck in a little rut while writing my next chapter today and am having trouble getting out of it.

First off thank you so much for the question, I'm really glad u asked and were confident enough to send this without the anon on. Second I'm going to answer questions or comment on certain things as I read this, so here we go.

I don't really write for myself, I mostly write for the people who want to read it. I have a small audience but from the few people I have talked to, on here and from my ao3 page, they like it, so I write it for them.

The thing about the stigma is I still feel it. Not for x reader specifically but for fanfiction and fandom in general. But I just have kinda gotten used to it so I just kinda live in it now. I mean I keep my tumblr to myself and of course y'all on here, but that's it. I don't talk about my fics to people I don't trust not just because of the stigma but also because I write some batshit crazy stuff.

I'll tell you this, I don't think people r going to read something that they think they're not going to like. Especially if you label your works right the worst thing they're going to do is scroll away. (But if u do get a negative comment @ me and I'll find them :) ) Also I think my own work is cringe and I've just accepted that it is at this point so I'm kinda immune to someone telling me that I'm cringe or that what I do is cringe because I am and that's just how it be man. I am one with the cringe and the cringe is me. I've lived too long past my experation date to be worried about some default settings incel telling me my Haunted Mansion fanfiction or tumblr blog is cringe. Like uhm ya of course it's cringe? It's supposed to be?? (also it's my brand now that I'm the jester of cringe, thx to @spookyhollowart)

O dude, lemme tell u something, one shots r the best. You don't have to stick to a big storyline, relationship growth, or character arcs. Literally the best. I can't wait to do my one shots because most of them r short and I won't have to be looking back 6 chapters ago to what color some random ass dude was wearing or some bullshit like that, because I have to do now in my current fic.

Trust me the nice people scare me too. It's like WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHY R U BEING NICE TO ME??? AND WHY DO YOU LIKE WHAT I WRITE?? (U scare me a lot too btw)

O god no! It's not irritating at all! Quite the opposite, I absolutely love ur stuff, especially ur latest one, Soul Ties. Seriously looking forward to the next chapter, I'm super invested in how the reader acts, I very much relate.

Plz don't apologize this was awesome to read through and answer/comment on.

Man that's a big question, uh Ig I can say that for a long time it felt like a joke to myself that I was writing fanfiction. I was writing it seriously but it didn't feel serious/real to me. I'll say this, I accept the storyline and that I came up with it, but I don't accept the way I'm write it. Because I beat myself up for typos, bad flow, not good enough dialog, not enough descriptors, too many descriptors, too short chapters when I have writers block, not good enough, that kinda stuff.

I'm honestly just glad to have someone else writing hm stuff because I love this fandom so much and I love reading other people's work. I hope you get out of ur rut soon. Take ur time, there's no rush, and don't stress on it.

Am I the only one who dislikes Lilith's new design?

I mean, yeah, it is true I always have a hard time getting used to my faves getting new designs, but this time I specifically feared this.

The show always had a lot of meaning in the characters design, especially with the hair, as a way to present their character development - Lilith had the most changes regard to that.

See, every time Lilith was gone from the screen for a while and came back, her appearance had changed at least a little bit.

There's a bit of a pattern I noticed about that.

Each new design she had was:

1. Consisting of clothes that got shorter.

2. Taking her back to her natural self, the way she's been as a child, before the coven.

And that's why I feared her design for the newest episode, since she could've had so many possibilities of changes!

She could've had ginger roots, she could've had more grey hairs, she could've had hair completely curly and puffy, and having shorter clothes in whatever shades... They really could've done anything with her design with that pattern of the changes I already mentioned.

But

Then

It was kinda very, very different than what was supposed to be???

Again, let me explain the pattern with the examples from her past designs.

This is how we first meet Lilith:

Here as the head of the Emperor's Coven she's a contradiction to her natural design - hair dyed in the opposite shade, straightened and with glasses gone.

She's also fully covered, dress going from her neck, to hands to literally covering her boots too. The shades of her clothes are gray and black, colorless. In general her appearance is cold and blank, because she's supposed to be intimidating, and again - be the opposite of her natural look.

At the end of season one after she splits the curse and officially defect from the coven the next time we see her, in season two, she looks like that:

As you can see, her shirt is covering only half of her arms now, exposing her shoulders too and showing more skin than before. Her skirt as well going to her ankles now and showing some of her boots underneath that too. Her clothes still mostly lack of colors and looks quite plain, as expected considering she's probably wearing some old clothes from Eda. It fits with her character at the time - she's new to her magic being limited and being out of the coven and all that, still figuring things out. Her hair, while still straightened, is a bit disheveled.

After that, Lilith leaves for a while, and when she returns in season 2b she looks very different.

She's finally embracing herself, and it really shows in her appearance.

Her clothes are more of a unique design - having a short(!) Shirt with a gold botton, a vest and a skirt that goes down only to her shin now. Each clothing part she wears in that design has a completely different shade (okay, minus the boots that are the same color as the vest, but for once her boots have colors that isn't gray or black), making this outfit very colorful and unique, as said.

Her gray streak is longer now and her hair starts to regain it's poofiness again.

And finally - the glasses are back!

In this design she resembled most to her neutral look as we know from all the flashbacks of her as a teen.

Personally this is my favorite design of her, because you really see how she's finally expressing herself, while both going back to her natural looks while keeping some of the things she adapted in time (meaning: having the glasses back on and poffier hair while still having dyed hair and all) I think it was a great balance between her old and new self.

But it doesn't stop here, because when she appears on-screen again, only a few episodes later at the end of season 2b, her hair is a even more curlier, as her front strands are starting to get wavier too!

She only left for a while and still changed a little.

And that- that is exactly why I feared the new design she'll have. It literally could've been anything along that pattern, as I explained before, and that's also why I'm so disappointed and unhappy about it.

Each of Lilith's designs showed how she's slowly going back to her natural looks, to her past self, and here it just...so unrelated???

First of all - HER GLASSES

where tf are those??

Why did she decide not to use them again, and in the middle of a basically apocalyptic time too? Like, seriously, this makes no sense.

The glasses were really important in my opinion. She had them as a child and discarded them in her coven years, probably because of the well known stereotype of glasses being nerdy. She didn't want to be seen as this dorky nerdy girl, as we see her in season 2 when she's out of the coven, so she had to let the glasses go.

But then in season 2 she wears them because she no longer needs to resemble anything, and she's free to be herself - as dorky as she is - and doesn't have to fight for respect and fear of others and all.

The glasses are HER.

Like, idk about you but having glasses for years kinda becomes an important part of you (speaking from experience lol) so it is VERY weird to me that now she's once again discarding them.

I don't have much to say about her clothes because yeah, it's the middle of an apocalypse, so it's kinda like at season 2a, random old clothes and no actual time for fashion consideration lol.

I do kinda like it, like, the colors are cool (literally) and it goes well with it being colors that represent her - blue and light turquoise. They were also the first colors we saw in her when we first met her at the show. If you'd look again at her season 1 design, we see how the only colors in her appearance are the colors of her hair, eyes and gem, which are dark blue and light turquoise, just like her dress and shirt in this recent design.

The length of the clothes are divergent from the pattern I mentioned as the dress still goes down to her shin here and the shirt is once again covering her entire arms and neck, even more than in her season 1 design. But again - it's the middle of basically an apocalypse, so it's understandable.

But her hair. It... It makes no sense to me.

Why is it so short? Why in the middle of this crisis of the isles she decided to chop it?

I kinda feel like it's very unrelated to anything, like maybe the crew just wanted to give her another little change in the little time we have left for the show?

(No hate for them, ofc. I'm sure there's an actual reason that we don't know of, I'm just lost here.)

There's a lot we didn't got to see in this episode of what happened in the isles in those months Luz was stuck in the human realm, and this should be the least of our concerns, but I'm still intrigued by that.

I will say that with her hair being orange again the colors of the clothes combined very well, being opposite colors. But even though I like that she's kinda returning to her neutral look in that, it also kinda weird, like, the length.

Eda having short hair was no surprise, as we have already seen her with shorter hair in a flashback, this being her way to deal with things (mental breakdown haircut���)

But Lilith had always kept her hair long. Always. So if we're looking at all the appearance changes she had during the show, and how all of them are connected to her returning to her natural look as a child, this length is very uncharacteristic.

It is kind of a big change to do too, that in my opinion, doesn't add to her character at all. With this haircut, the gray strand is also shorter, as if she's trying to keep it from spreading or make it less noticeable. With the way her character design always tried to show how she's slowly embracing herself, it feels weird that she wouldn't be proud or at least natural about her hair.

I understand the hair length is like that because that was the quickest way to have her fully return to her natural hair color, but was it really necessary?

This is actually one of the things I love the most about Lilith (as well with the other hags, but it's even stronger with Lilith) - that change can be slow.

Many times in shows and generally in life we get the message that we're supposed to figure things out, figure ourselves out, in our teen years or early twenties at max.

That's something really cool about the Owl House, how so many of the older characters have similar problems to the ones the younger generation has, and how many of them basically lived their lives on hold for decades, not really letting themselves grow and change. When they do, it happens alongside the younger generation, showing how you can still change and evolve as a person even at the age when your life supposed to already be sensible and balanced.

So yeah, changes can be slow, and if it took Lilith years to finally start and embrace herself and slowly return to her natural self, then why have it rushed all of a sudden?

It would've worked way better if just like it was in season 2b that her hair started regaining its poofiness back and the gray strand got longer, that just like that we'll see her hair continue to slowly go back to it's natural state - curl more and see the roots grow, instead of chopping it drastically to bring her fast to the final destination of her hair color in her design.

I really am curious to know what was behind this design decision, and if it's related to the show being shortened as I suspect or not.

Anyway, let me know if you agree or not and what were your thoughts of Lilith design!

Thanks for reading this rant/analysis, I'd love to hear more opinions <:

[didnt-hear-cold-as-you-live]

hi holly!!! i am thinking about taking a job that would likely require a lot of travel around the us (by car instead of bus, but they pay for gas and lodging which is pretty sick) and i am nervy about that but also it could be good? i guess i’m curious (if you feel comfortable answering!!) if you have any thoughts or advice since i know you travel for work quite a bit anywayyy ilu i <3 your blog k thanks byeeee 💞💞💞💞

Hi!!!!! omg that's so exciting!!! that sounds like an INCREDIBLE job that I would love so much, but I think an important thing is to question if that lifestyle works for you.

Some of the pros are that, especially driving, you get to see SO much of the country, and see so many gorgeous places and have so many beautiful experiences that you simply wouldn't have when flying to destinations if you were just traveling on vacation. A random diner in Idaho will have the best pancakes you've ever eaten in your life; on the drive from Denver to Salt Lake City there's this part where the highway opens up to the base of a river winding around a mountain, it's one of the prettiest spots in the whole country and it'll just be your day for like 4 hours. You can plan to leave a day early and spend it having a picnic by the ocean, visiting a national park, or exploring a new city - hell, even leave a week early and see an entire region. You'll sing songs in the car and make the best memories to some gorgeous views, see Saguaros and mountains and cows crossing the road, idyllic farmland and treacherous cliffs. You'll meet random people at gas stations you'll remember forever. You'll have a favorite restaurant in every city, your days off will be an adventure, and having a free place to stay for a lot of it will make it even better - a lot of your life will literally be a most-expenses paid solo vacation.

The negative side would be that those things are not for everyone. You'll get really bored and lonely on long stretches of road, and have to be really comfortable with yourself to be entertained when on drives alone for that long. It could be hard to maintain friendships if you're always gone for extended periods of time. Nebraska is shit to drive through and goes on forever. You'll pop a tire without service and have to deal with it. You might miss certain things because you're far away. It might get monotonous and lonely, and you might have days where you're somewhere really cool, but you feel empty inside because you're not sharing those things with people who you actually love at home.

It really depends on the genre of life experience you stake more weight in - for me, the cons of life at home that get missed and the more lonely days pale in comparison to the positive sides of the experiences I listed, and I am so deep inside my own head sometimes that I really do feel like I am my own best friend - and because of that, the situations where I've been on long drives alone are some of the best experiences I've had, and I don't think I'd trade mosaics of different experiences with people I probably won't see again for anything that a life of being there for everything that happens at home could get me. But for a lot of people, the polar opposite is true.

If you're unsure of the answer to that question, it will never hurt to test it out and see what you think. I think filling your life with as many colorful and different things as you possibly can is what it's all about, and makes your life seem a lot longer and fuller - and if you do that for a year and you absolutely hate it, the worst you'll end up with is some wasted time and a lot of good stories, and it helps if you go into it with an awareness of the fact that the bad parts will inevitably happen, but you'll wind up with so many positives that are hard to come by in any other way.

I hope that helps!!!

2, 21, and 25? 🫶

Yay! Thank you! (In regards to this prompt)

2) Describe your pronouns. What are they, and why?

She/Her and He/Him! I'm bigender, in my case being male and female. (I got called "Cis+" as an insult in an NB group once, but honestly that's not a bad way to look at it - both of my genders are binary, but they coexist rather than being mutually exclusive opposites.) I don't really prefer one pronoun set to the other; rather, I prefer to be called by both interchangeably!

To that extent, please, please don't refer to me by they/them pronouns (unless you just forget/don't know my pronouns and do it out of respect, in which case that's totally cool!). Admittedly that was the catalyst for the Cis+ comment (something to the extent of "Lol you claim to be nonbinary but your genders are binary and you're adverse to they/them? Looooool you're literally just an indecisive cis person"), so I've been especially sensitive to that ever since 😅

21) What are your favorite things about being multigender?

I'm gonna be corny here: I just love knowing who I am! I kicked around being bigender in high school, but ultimately decided I was my AGAB with tomboyish tendencies. But throughout adulthood, the signs that it was more were always there: I've always identified more strongly with male characters in media, and as a writer, I find it easier to write from a male POV. I've always love being perceived as male; I have short hair and look fairly androgynous from the back, so at work customers would sometimes get my attention with "Excuse me, sir?" They'd apologize profusely when I turned around to reveal a baby face and a sunflower hairclip, but I'd be on Cloud Nine all day and I could never quite explain why.

At the same time, I never thought I was trans. I've always been perfectly happy being a girl. I spent most of my life shunning my femininity (my formative years were smack-dab in the middle of the Not Like Other Girls trend), but in my early 20s I began really embracing it, letting myself wear makeup and dresses and bright colors, and I've loved it ever since! But I could never shake my ties to masculinity. I couldn't explain it.

Last year I finally got fed up and did some soul-searching with friends; they suggested maybe I was a demigirl or demiboy, but those labels didn't feel right, because I'm not partially either, when I dig down deep. When asked who exactly I am, "I'm a woman" and "I'm a man" both feel right, but suggesting I'm more/less one than the other doesn't. "Bigender" came back up, and I was like "Oh. Maybe 17-year-old Peaches really was onto something."

ALL THAT TO SAY: My favorite part of being multigender is being able to understand and embrace myself to the fullest. I'm not a girl with masculine tendencies and I'm not a guy in touch with his femininity. I'm a man as I am a woman. Discovering that has been life-changing.

25) What's your favorite art/music/writing/etc about being multigender? (Things not explicitly written as such are OK too!)

Not sure if it counts as art, but this symbol:

because it perfectly encapsulates and answers the mystery of my own identity. Not all bigender people are male and female or masculine and feminine; the beauty of the nonbinary is that everyone's experience is so varied! But as someone who's only recently come to realize she can be both at the same time rather than having to choose, that simple, silly little symbol just makes me so happy.

tenshusuto asked: ㅤThere is a looming silhouette leaning against the balcony railing in the upper part of S.R.D.I. But the Captain sure recognized who the voice belonged to even without properly seeing the bearer.

ㅤThe not-so-phantom presence uttered, '' Do you think 𝘙𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭 painted himself into 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬 because he considered himself equal to the great masterminds ( that either /he/ or society admired ), or the opposite? He never considered himself worthy to climb the same stairs and reach their level? ''

@tenshusuto ／ unprompted ／ always accepting.

Always a fan of the dramatics... It seemed that some things never changed.

Whether that would be for better or for worse, however... would remain to be (unfortunately...) seen. There was nothing to be done about it, anyway, especially since Urahara's already here. What could he have possibly done-- chase him out? Tch! That was something only a moron (and mayuri wasn't even close.) would believe in. Optimism, once upon a time, was welcomed within the Twelfth's barracks -- perhaps, when someone other than Mayuri was rudely taking up space, hmm... -- but those times were long gone.

They were lost to the metaphorical sands of time, only capable of being drenched up by those that were bold enough to remember. Some may wonder, too, where did Mayuri stand on this so-called "spectrum"?

Well, the middle, obviously.

"No," he responded after allowing for a few moments of silence to drift by, occasionally intercepted by rapid plonking of fingers to keys. Not once did Mayuri bother to look up from his spot (what's the point? urahara's going to do whatever he wanted, and who was mayuri to say anything? it's not like he was captain or anything, tsk...) nor did he truly work to engage any further. "Instead of pondering on something with an answer..."

Hands would pause then, freezing in an instant. Even if the blond were to attempt to (thinks about cutting him off, metaphorically with his words but, also, literally with the sprinkler that was found a mere, few inches above his head.) to respond, Mayuri deemed it worthy enough to ignore, anyway. It wasn't anything out of the usual, honestly-- if anything, he was offering the other man a little too much leniency but... whatever.

It didn't matter nor would it matter in the long run.

"Shall I look it up for you?"

Be it out of the kindness (invalid. unknown query. 404 error.) of his own heart or, rather, because Mayuri wished to end this meddlesome interaction, he's already proceeding to "look it up". Fingers remained within their stilted, rigid position as his head raised. It was only by a few centimeters, but those with a keen eye should've been able to catch on. Why wouldn't they? Some of those "people" had already decided that breaking and entering was completely fine, after all.

No, he wasn't angry. A little aggravated, yes... but not angry.

That comes later, if Urahara decided to push his luck.

Illuminated by nothing but the bright, neon blue hue of his largest monitor, honeyed eyes were abrupt in how they rolled up into the back of his skull. All signs of white that were found upon his body (his paint, the whites of his eyes, his gums...) were subtly tinted, fading into a color that attempted to mirror his LED. All that remained, now, was beats' worth of silence that was occasionally cut in by the gentle whirring of some machinery that was nowhere to be seen and yet... was audible, as clear as day.

A few wheezes of air here... and a few clinking of data flashing on screens there... All of that was nothing more but ambiance, serving as what remained of the captain's latest projects. When those were finished, he'd merely begin anew with fresh eyes, fresh ideas, and fresh methods. Who's to say, too, that he hasn't thought to start more already? Answering a question better akin for a debate class held very little weight in comparison and, quite frankly, Mayuri thought it within his right to grow offended.

Whatever it was that Urahara Kisuke had to gain from this, surely it wasn't worth the amount of time Mayuri was (and he'll admit. it was on purpose.) wasting. Rummaging throughout the vast nothingness known as the "world wide web", of course, took some time. He was sure that his little, uninvited guest wouldn't mind.

Ultimately, he did ask a question, so... the polite thing to do was to answer it. That was basic cause and effect, honestly. Mayuri would simply hate to feed him misinformation. In some ways, with that in mind, he was actually doing him a favor.

Perhaps he ought to thank him after all was said and done.

Time was hard to track, especially with all sources of telling time facing the "misfortune" of suddenly shutting down. That wasn't meant to happen, no... no, obviously not. It certainly had nothing to do, either, with how the scientist appeared to be having trouble "finding" (he's found it since a while, now, and has been holding onto it.) an answer most befitting to Urahara's standards.

His monitor's grown a bit darker since, dimming in its brightness as it steadily strayed into its sleep mode. Contents of its screen (basic data entry; mayuri was busying himself with... ah, "busy work". basic inventory, in layman's terms.) remained visible but barely legible, with its translucent, white text on top of a blue backdrop. Its scheme was meant to nauseate, to discomfort-- it was something meant for Mayuri's eyes only, and the defense mechanism was simple, easy, and clean to script.

What made it reliable, too, was that while it was a beginner's task to script, it was best suited for the so-called experts (he's seen a few attempt. none cracked the code as of yet.) to decipher.

Lower lip quivered in subtle twitches, implying that an active search was still in progress. At this point in time, though, all that Mayuri was done was casually scrolling through the rest of the results that popped up. Some were mildly laughable, others somewhat plausible, while some... well, the rest were hogwash.

"... Ah, here it is. I finally found it," he suddenly chimed in, irises revealing themselves in mere seconds right after.

Fingers resumed their typing as his head lowered, seamlessly continuing from where he last left off. Teeth bore in a faint grimace (he hoped it was as annoying for urahara as it was for him to put up this stupid, childish façade.) before, with a cluck of his tongue, he proceeded.

"Hmmnn... The majority believed that it was, simply put, a signature; nothing particularly special. The School of Athens was commission work, proffered by none other than a pope-- Pope Julius II, if you were a stickler for that particular detail... not that it matters, seeing as he's long dead now," he pauses to lean away from his work, entwining his fingers and straightening his arms in order to entice a long, drawn out yet much needed crack out from his knuckles. "Mainly painted as a decoration... hence its eccentric location... it was also intended to "praise" the church, because-- well, I'm sure you know why."

All of this effort, and Mayuri was well aware that it wouldn't bare much fruit. He's sure that he was doing this, majorly, for sake of Urahara's "amusement". Whatever the absolute hell that was, anyway.

"I stopped reading after a few paragraphs, because it was starting to grow repetitive," came the lackadaisical "confession", lacking in its expected remorse, "but, to be blunt, it was a blatant "self-insert", because how else would he include a signature? By signing it? Pfft... That would've gotten him executed, I'm sure, for being so bold."

Placing his hands back upon the keys, he straightened his back only to hunch it seconds later. There were no signs of discomfort arising (why? he's fine like this.), and he'd most likely be here for some time to come.

"Is that all? Any more asinine questions?"

In spite of the retort, Mayuri doesn't wait for a response. A certain shopkeeper's overstayed his welcome, and it was time he took his leave.

As if to encourage a hasty retreat, the sprinkler above the man's head springs to life (the clocks, too, returned to normal. it was as if nothing happened-- besides, well, showing that ten minutes had passed.) and immediately drenches him in water.

"Oops. I suppose not."

He huffed a sigh and hung his head. Stopping in his ministrations, he rubbed his lips together (how annoying.) before raising a hand, snapping its fingers twice in rapid succession.

"Now then, if you'd be so kind as to--"

Without warning, the sprinkler's increased in intensity (it can go further, too, if mayuri wanted it to.) and narrowed its focus, almost like it honed in on Urahara and Urahara only.

"--get out."

this is one of the most brain-rottingly terminally online posts i’ve ever seen in my life to the point where when i saw someone screenshot this and post it on twitter talking about how terminally online this is i genuinely felt compelled to look it up and add my annoying and autistic commentary to it, my literal lifelong special interest, and then log off. i was surprised to see this person is 24 and not like, 18 but honestly even the gap between someone in their mid twenties and someone like me in their late twenties feels massive these days due to the rise of the internet and the speed with which social media has grown.

matt stone and trey parker and the greater south park team have been dealing with absolute puritans like you people trying to campaign to get them off air and drain their fanbase by writing shit like this since quite literally before you were born. the fact that you do not comprehend satire or comedic devices such as “crossing the line twice” is not their problem, nor is it their problem that like 1% of their fanbase is stupid enough to delude themselves into thinking that this show is agreeing with them and reinforcing their beliefs. that’s a phenomenon that’s going to occur with every single comedic and satirical show that ever has or will be on the air, because those people view this show through pretty much the exact same lens as people like you, just in the opposite direction. the problem here in both cases is the unbelievable lack of nuance and and inability to engage in critical thought. south park is and always has been an outlet for matt stone and trey parker to poke fun at objectively ridiculous shit and current events, and when you’re on the air for as long as they’ve been you’re bound to get some shit wrong. their goal has never been to outright offend, it’s to be funny. offending people is a byproduct. and 9 times out of 10 if you’re the person who’s getting offended by this show, you absolutely should be, and you’re just big mad that you’re the exact type of person they're talking about. but the difference between south park and the other shows of it’s generation is that as the years and seasons have progressed they have been more than willing to admit when they were wrong, and write episodes poking fun at their absolute dumbassery from years past. they have never been above apologizing with the comedic tools at their disposal. i’ve even seen people try to label these guys as conservatives and republicans which is a baffling take for anyone who’s ever watched more than 2 episodes of the show and has 2 braincells to rub together, ESPECIALLY in recent years.

this franchise has spawned 26 seasons and counting, multiple specials, two videos games and a movie. it paved the way for matt stone and trey parker to write and produce the book of mormon, which is another long-running absolute phenomenon on broadway. they literally just held their 25th anniversary concert for south park at red rocks in colorado and there were 12k+ people there from all over the country. the crowd was absolutely losing their minds, and when the camera turned to the crowd you saw a melting pot of people of all kinds of demographics. people in the crowd were screaming and crying and throwing up and shouting “THANK YOU TREY!!!!!!” until their voices were hoarse. they still write, record and animate the show in-house with a 6 day turnaround time, as opposed to almost every other adult animated show that takes 6 months to write 15 episodes and then sends their scripts to a studio in south korea to be animated for cents on the dollar. you’d be hard pressed to find any bad or negative stories from people who’ve worked with these guys that didn’t come from a scientologist posing as someone in the industry or a scientology smear website.

this is not the show you think it is. the creators are not the people you think they are. gay people love south park. trans people love south park. people of color love south park. disabled people love south park. neurodivergent people love south park. there is a reason why this show has such lasting power and why nearly everything these men touch turns to gold. the world at large does not agree with you. it is one of the most popular shows in the history of adult animation, maybe in the history of television, for a damn good reason. and writing a little tumblr post like this is not going to change that fact.

in the words of matt stone and trey parker themselves, “it’s south park dude, grow up.”

idk what teenager needs to hear this but please stop watching south park
