Shou is a simple boy. He sees a cool dragon he walks up to them.

unprompted. / always accepting!

and it was a weakness of hers to be face-to-face with a small human. he wasn’t too much older than her first tamer — wasn’t he? ah, the way her eyes instinctively twinkled with joy. she tried to fight it, but it was inevitable to feel this way —

it was in her very code to be a friend.

jaws shift momentarily, about to speak, but then she silences herself. this little one has probably never seen a monster such as she, or even more so, one such as tall. she tells herself to hush, until he is ready for a booming voice.

so instead, she tries to communicate a docile nature — lowering her head and letting out a soft snort; tail swaying slowly from side to side (she remembered cats did something similar...?).

Eu queria postar isso há alguns minutos atrás, já que passou da meia noite, mas ao menos estou perto o suficiente, né?

Nesta semana, no Orientando, as seguintes páginas sobre identidades (que podem ser consideradas) a-espectrais foram publicadas:

Alíqua

Enigma

Vácuo/Void

(Aqui estão os links para as páginas das outras orientações mencionadas: aroique, mesi, mir, plátoni, procul)

Além disso, as seguintes orientações foram adicionadas à lista de orientações (a qual também tem um novo texto introdutório elaborando algumas coisas que o pessoal mais novo no assunto pode não entender):

Apres-: Alguém que só experiencia certo tipo de atração após experienciar outro tipo de atração pela mesma pessoa. É possível que a atração original sentida acabe sumindo, sendo “substituída” pelo tipo da orientação apres, mas isso não ocorre em todos os casos.

Dura-: Alguém que sente atração raramente, mas que quando sente, tal atração dura por bastante tempo.

Enigma-: Alguém que sente atração tão rara, vaga ou fraca que não entende as especificidades de sua atração. Nenhum padrão específico pode ser quantificado ou detectado quando atração é sentida.

Néxu-/Nêxu-/Nexu-: Uma orientação exclusiva para pessoas neurodivergentes que não assexuais/arromânticas/etc. Pessoas néxu não sentem atração, mas possuem um forte desejo pela conexão emocional envolvida em ter atração por conta de neurodivergência, de forma que essas não têm certeza se existe atração ou só um forte desejo de que certas pessoas estejam em suas vidas.

Nuliane/Núlique: Alguém cuja orientação é arromântica e assexual, mas indefinida, inválida, inexistente, impossível; assim como uma divisão por zero ou como a identidade gênero-nulo. Esta orientação não pode ser combinada com outras.

Vácuo-/Void-: Alguém assexual/arromântique/etc. tem um sentimento de vácuo ou vazio no lugar da atração, ao invés de somente não sentir atração.

Ah é, pra quem se interessar, a versão de Instagram das imagens ali de cima está aqui. Não acho que faz muito sentido postar isso no blog do Orientando, visto que é meio redundante. :P

random asf (?) but i think it's very amusing whenever chiyo goes "oi!!" 😭 i can literally hear it in my head in a way aksbajdbakxb have u ever thought of a voice claim for her ???

the fact that you can hear it in your head makes me so happy, peach :’ ))) and listen, i didn’t have a voice claim for her before, but i listened to clips of japanese voice actresses after you sent this! and i think i’m going with haruka tomatsu!! i’ve always imagined chiyo’s voice to be not very high nor low but somewhere in the middle, and she fits the bill pretty well. she voiced the female lead in my little monster, which is a good example — just imagine it a bit more animated? lively? just bc chiyo definitely emotes vocally rather than keeping an even tone most of the time uvu

31 d'octubre, Nit de les Ànimes. A partir de l'horabaixa, és costum donar la benvinguda a les ànimes dels difunts, que comencen a arribar a les nostres llars des del Més Enllà. És la Nit de les Ànimes, festivitat que comença al vespre i s'allarga fins entrada la nit menjant panellets, castanyes torrades i moniatos cuits, tot regat amb vi dolç.

És el començament de la celebració de Tots Sants, que s'allargarà l'endemà, 1r de novembre, el Dia de Tots Sants, i el 2 de novembre, Dia dels Difunts, o Dia dels Morts.

" And then the champion wields the vorpal sword and slays the Red King's Jabberwocky ! Prompting the subjects to gratefully turn against their cruel ruler, and then finally returning the crown of Underland to the White Queen where it belongs. " He speaks with the air of a narrator adamant on catching the attention of crowds, even though his audience is just one fellow prince listening intently. Shou even strikes a dramatic pose while he's at it, chest puffed out, and a small dagger in place of a sword he points around aimlessly. He'd have used his real sword, but he left that back home!

But it doesn't take long for his grand story to end, and the greatness that surrounds its events deflates, just like Shou's whole being as the hand around his dagger falls to the side. " ... Or at least that's how it's supposed to go. People claim it's a prophecy, but I've always felt like it's just something they made up. " To lessen the suffering of the wait, to give themselves some sort of hope. He shrugs, not even trying to conceal his lack of enthusiasm.

" It's supposed to be in our castle, the sword, but no matter how far I've searched, I can't seem to find it. " He crosses his arms, features troubled and irritated as he looks over at Daisuke for a reaction. " Sometimes I wish this story never existed. Maybe then the people wouldn't just sit and wait for someone to come and save them. "

@espectres

who could have kept themselves from applause before such a well-acted spectacle ? it's everything it needs to be ; brave heroics and legendary artifacts and a mighty fiend that needed slaying for the sake of preserving peace and establishing order , yet it's this very thought alone that draws a poor aftertaste ; poison to the cup of wine . daisuke's hands still quietly clap for the other come the end of their soliloquy , in a timid , nervous-laugh accented flutter no different from the likes of which he politely acknowledged and promptly excused the occasional juggler , jester , and whatever joke-telling what-have-yous , put before him in an attempt to entertain if not outright impress . after which , he would always retreat alone into his silent , somewhat somber contemplations , only this time , his own audience does not bow and vanish from before him , simple as it would have been for them to do so .

' i don't think ... it's a bad story , ' he tries to confess after a while , even if he would have liked to hear more about the jabberwocky ; more about the horrible monster that supposedly went far beyond words and description , and thus the pitiful extends of human comprehension . you are too kind , his mentors had told him once , and now the words come rushing back , quick as the dagger glint he had caught in their eyes , aiming for his throat --- the cowled sneer of a plot-and-schemer who , at the very least , hadn't dared to commit any sort of treasonous ( just and righteous --- ? ) act of defiance yet . was death to always be the cost of life ? was it wrong to long to face what only should have been boldly slain ? he's too naive , too soft-hearted ; his tastes are poor and absurd to believe in otherwise , he has failed a family of usurpers and tyrants .

yet silence and all its thick , heavying darkness , the boy believed , could be far worse than even a made-up prophecy of hope and faith . a king too could indulge in a little superstition and hobby , but they would always be a king before all else , demanded action and reality no matter how many amateur , mediocre works of art and imagination they lovingly attempted to produce . for just a moment the niwa thinks that he finally sees , at the very least , the hollow space of what he was truly missing . the proud posture and radiant inspirations , the sort of charisma that could bind anyone to a cause , to the pointed stretch of nobility ... to another prince that wanted to overthrow and overcome his own father . was this the sort of ideal everyone had always expected out of him ? something about it still feels strange and painfully unlike himself ; daisuke's head gently shakes after a moment , and a grave and loathsome thought strikes him thereafter .

' it might be stupid , but i can't help but worry . ' it's a simple story ; a simple prophecy . a tale about a lock and a key , a cause and effect , a sword run through someone --- something , that thus could have been anyone , anything , like a so-called villain made out to be a martyr . ' i'm not an oracle . i only know what i think should be right and wrong , like your father ... understanding that he's being cruel , and taking things too far . ' and if he didn't come to understand any of it , then what was left ? this horror , this omen of extremes ? privy to each other's secrets and curses ; the playful , innocent boys meeting under daylight perpetually transforming into wild , terrifying things under moonlight --- the roles of their lives and thoughts of the people ever-shifted with their forms , until daisuke suddenly feels sick , his heart beating as if each pound was little by little , ripping and tearing at its very own strings .

' do you ever think ... the jabberwocky might be you ? ' were foul news ever brought to him then he'd weep senselessly for the one skinned and bled ; the peace of a country would never have been worth its prince , one perpetually out of its people's thoughts and mind , injured or slain . ' if your father knows , if it's supposed to be in the castle in the first place , then maybe he's the one who hid it . ' likewise , he too would have been the one to wield it ; to catch a grinning cat and turn it helpless wild hare . ' what if --- what if it's not trying to tell you to fight , what if it's just a warning ? ' what if nobody involved in a prophecy was actually listening to any part of it ? ' there has to be some way , somebody that can reach him . before any of this --- anything like that happens . shou-kun , i don't want to see you in danger ... '

he didn't want to imagine the bright , roaring cheers . the ensuing confusion . the sinking , far , far too late realizations ; the same sort he had imagined at the center of a blazing , hellish azumano , its skulking haunt and prized demon finally captured amidst frenzy and chaos , the foolish king who only wanted to love his people howling unrecognized at the stake . ' ... isn't there something else we can do ? shou-kun , do you really ... do you really have to keep fighting , like this ? ' losing innocence , cleaning blood off his hands before it could rust , and all by himself , at that ; this felt wrong , too . ' does your father really not ... not love you , not even a little bit ? not even enough to try --- to try to listen to you about something like this ? '

@espectres gets an unexpected hangout!

You know that awkward moment where you're in a group of three, and the mutual friend breaks off for whatever reason leaving you with their friend who you don't know as well? That's sort of how this felt, except the mutual friend in question was his brother.

It felt like a mean thought to have, Suzuki was his friend too! It's not like he disliked spending time with the other, there was just a weight on his chest that had yet to lessen.

But that was normal, wasn't it? Hanazawa made him feel that way too at certain moments, it was just something that needed time.

Maybe he was just feeling weird because of the sudden change in plans, Ritsu needing to stay behind per their mother's request was a stroke of bad luck. His brother was never the type to neglect a chore of his, but he's not immune to things slipping his mind either.

This silence was stretching on way too long.

❝ Ritsu wanted me to tell you he's sorry about not being able to make it, something just came up is all. ❞

That felt like it'd read better as a text sent, cancelling the outing all together, but it felt rude to do so last minute like that. Besides, what would that say about him- that he couldn't sit through a single movie with Shou?

He mentally counted the notes again, the fee for admission would be about 1,400 yen.. right? At least that's what they budgeted for, what if it wasn't enough? It should be, especially with Ritsu having dropped out. Why was he stressing about the admission price now?! Get it together.

❝ I hope we can still have fun. ❞

hello ! can i ask you what does it mean when a blog is "dash only"? ( your blog is so awesome btw one of the best rp resources blogs I've seen i love it :>)

hi my friend! thank you so much for the compliment! that means a lot to me :) let me see if i can explain it!

a "DASH ONLY" blog means you have to be logged in to tumblr to access their blog.

this is the feature that turns that on and off:

i have this feature turned OFF on mcflymemes, so you can access my blog without an account. it also means i have a blog theme and an archive you can access:

when a blog is DASH ONLY, you can only access their blog and see their posts like this:

they don't have a tumblr theme you can go to, or an archive you can explore. they're "only accessible through the dash" = "dash only"

does that make sense? i hope that helps! please feel free to ask any other questions you have! i'm here to help!
