2009 Reference Guide to Seb's Hair(Long post w lots of pics):

I would rate these but I love every version of him too much so I cannot pick 🤭, I'll add some commentary though. This took a horrible amount of time but it was also a great excuse to download and show off a truly terrible amnt of Seb pics(I was in tears half the time bcs of cuteness agression)

0. Testing(Jerez)(February 10th-12th):

Honestly such perfect Seb hair, I find this soooo cute!!! His hair is honestly always so perfect at Jerez testing every season. I love the length and style, he looks so incredibly pretty <3

1. Australia(March 26th-29th):

And now he is...bald. I actually kinda love this hair, he's my little kiwi fruit!! But I also can't help but mourn the Jerez hair. I'm just like: why did you feel the need to go bald, Seb??? It makes him look so young!

2. Malaysia(April 2nd-5th):

3. China(April 16th-19th):

I think the highlight of his bald era is how much he embodies the nickname "sunshine." Like the way his hair and eylashes glow in the sun??? Literally sunshine. Also it's cute to see his hair grow more fluffy

4. Bahrain(April 23rd-26th):

The texture differences are so interesting, I think this length looks its best when it's more fluffy like in the top right pic.

5. Spain(May 7th-10th):

It's funny how his hairline does that point in the middle, again: looks better when he looks unkempt

6. Monaco(May 21st-24th):

Weirdly shocked at how much his hair grew in-between Spain and Monaco??? Also I forgot that those fashion pics were from this weekend, and I was jumpscared by his mohawk look. I think he should keep away from hair product hahaha

7. Turkey(June 4th-7th):

Lego hair looking ass. Kidding kidding, just think his hair looks best all natural

8. Silverstone(June 18th-21st):

Lowkey kinda baffling to me how different his hair looks at different stages of the weekend. The podium hair especially is just soooo different, its very cute but yeah idk

9. Germany(July 9th-12th):

I did not realize he cut his hair again during this season?? Seeing these was very surprising to me, I had thought he grew it out for the entire season but I guess not! But I guess if he hadn't gotten a haircut the entire season, he'd probably have his angelic curls of 2010 by the end

10. Hungary(July 23rd-26th):

Kinda love the looks he was serving this weekend, it's just very spikey and cute(also the cunty sunglasses!!

11. Valencia(August 20th-23rd):

12. Belgium(August 27th-30th):

That garage lighting makes his hair look soooo much more yellow rather than his fair blond in the sunlight

13. Italy(September 10th-13th):

This transitional growing period is not my fav, just the way his hair sweeps in is funny

14. Singapore(September 24th-27th):

Looking particularly blond this weekend!! His hair is just very light and pretty

15. Japan(October 1st-4th):

I think most of these are from post-quali and for good reason; I love the way it looks like he has highlights in all the bottom pics

16. Brazil(October 15th-18th):

I love his scruffiness from this weekend!!! The scruffy stubble is sooooooo!!!

17. Abu Dhabi(October 29th-November 1st):

Pretty cute I think but yeah like nothing can really compete with his hair length in 2010 for me so I look at these and I'm like, ooooo growing longer!!

Conclusion: I think it's fun to get to see the process of someone's hair growing out. I've noticed that a lot of men with short hair get very consistent haircuts to keep their hair generally the same length, and I think that's so boring!! I think it's great to grow out your hair for a few months time because you get to see yourself at all the different stages and experiment with all kinds of different looks! So yeah, props to Seb for serving all kinds of looks this season!!

Also it's always interesting to me how much hair length/style and facial hair can change a person's look, but particularly how old/young they look. Like when he shaved his his head, it made him look so young. But in Brazil for example, with the longer hair and scruffy facial hair, he def looks older!

And of course, let me know which you like the best :D My favorite is Jerez <3

[racketballz]

I've got a question about your art (that I love so much it's killing me !!!), anyway. So, when you're coming up with your ppg/rrb, did you first come up with your concept before searching for inspiration or did you first looked for inspiration before coming up with your concept. By concept I mean, the way your wanted to draw them and by inspiration, I'm talking about... what inspired you (you even posted pics about it, like butch's haircut is 50's etc).

Jumpscare ahead but it was jus the natural progression of things and then I was staring at all of them and then I started to come up with a concept I could stick which is what the reference sheet it for!

I think this is the first time I drew him ever and I basically like took what the show had! It looks very UH BAD and I drew it like 2 times and I wa slike this looks dumb LMAO

And then this time lasted for a whilE there are maybe like oof 10 drawings with his hair like this emo situation I think because I wanted him to match buttercup?? Because I was kinda drawing her hair a little like that but tbh it was a default hair at the time because it’s an emo hair cut easy to draw

BUT THENNNNN I was thinking of them playing sports and he naturally needs to get hair out of his face so I gave him a headband! And then the pushed back was borned

SWIFTLY AFTER THIS I DIDNT DRAW THE GUY very often because I was stuck like something wasn’t sitting right with the design for me so my style changed quite a bit because I was drawing other stuff and my art got like really “messy” and sketchy so I was able to draw looser lines and I did a yearly beach greens at the time and I pushed his hair back and long hair isn’t functional for a guy like him so I gave him an undercut! When I first drew this I stared at this picture for a long time because I liked it so much

The concept of them going to the beach besides the anime beach episode that happens in TEF it also reminded me of like the 50s of a bunch of kids spring break-ing and just like having a good time idk how to describe but that stuck with me for a while and of course the beach chapter is like one of my favorites for this reason!

But then I started messing around with the concept at this point and butches hair turned into a pompadour with like a fade situation it’s a good shape it doesn’t get in his face for when he’s fighting but it does get messy and hairs come out in the front.

I combined aspects of the original design to make not too round because he’s a sharp guy so I added spikes in the back some hairs that simple don’t stay down I ran into some issues later on because I can’t do a pompadour shape from the front so I tweaked some stuff after the reference sheet even further but I enjoy drawing him the side because I think that’s where he looks cutest lol

Fake apologies for rambling butchs hair is my favorite part of my designs other than those mole 🥲💚

About hair…

TIG’s best hair is in Crackerjack in my opinion, bar none. He looked so handsome there with that floppy cut it’s not even funny. Also really loved the shorter, salt n’ pepper look in that movie where he goes to Poland or something (and he’s a cop). Super handsome and also distinguished! I have mixed feels about the Excessive Force hair (not a fan of mullets, but TIG’s such a looker so…). Also liked his hair in Escape from Alaska and silver fox look in The Kidnapping/Black Friday.

Might be an unpopular hot take, but my all time favorite “Daniel” look is in Cuba and His Teddy Bear as Teddy. What a total doll, the messy, shaggy hair just WORKS for him because it frames his face and brings out how very pretty he really is, how dark and expressive his eyes are. Another hot take—the Naked in New York haircut only looks good from certain angles. From the front it looks not so good, and sets weird, though from the side/profile it looks great.

That is a a good choice - crackerjack and I think Black Friday is my fav Silver Fox Look 🤔

I like Behind Enemy Lines and Beyond Forgiveness really deserves more love than it gets.

Ulterior Motives - but I think that’s just adorable because it’s his wife as his costar.

Hollow Point - Max Parish is a good look.

Valek - love him but that’s just the vampire vibes more than anything and the character itself - love Valek.

I do love Ralph in NINY but I can appreciate those feelings about it.

Tragically I like him in Too Much Sun 😬

Cuban and his Teddy Bear is what I picture when I think ABO Daniel in heat - it’s the sweaty hair and skin, flushed face and crazy eyes - screams omega in heat.

Happily Divorced Ralph - hot damn - he deserves all the love.

The Deuce Officer Haddix really really needs more love - something about him as a crooked detective - and him at the PREMIERE FOR THAT 🥵

I have an idea for a fic where Terry has Haddix/Daniel on his payroll and they have nasty, dirty sex - starts with Haddix on his knees giving Terry BJs in seedy back alleys and Haddix getting fucked in suspect bathrooms or equally seedy clubs/bars. It progresses to

Or maybe Daniel is a detective - refusing to be bought - until Terry gets black mail info or threatens to have Miyagi deported or something - “I can make it happen, Danny.” Cue him agreeing to go on the payroll only for Terry to tell him he wants something more ….. Daniel giving his 🍑 up - and of course, after a while, well, “I don’t like you working such a dangerous job, sweetheart,” which is funny - the target he has on his back since becoming Terry’s side piece is much bigger ….. but there is something 🥵 about older Daniel becoming some kept, pretty thing on Terry’s arm - getting through life on Terry’s dime by the spread of his thighs.

* Fans self *

Older sugar baby Daniel - esp reluctant older sugar baby Daniel is just soooo 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Anyway / that went off the rails …..

But I reference these pics a lot:

This one below is PERFECT for Terry Mob AUs - you couldn’t get any better - and when I think of any of my many Mob AUs / this is the Terry I am imagining.

And that one is just Sugar Daddy™️

And I’m leaving these two of Ralph form Ugly Betty because they are some of my favs - he’s so pretty in them 😍

That’s really just not fair dammit.

What is your favourite Franky haircut? Also, what do you think of his kinda awful character song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikp4ZB40txk

I cannot simply give you one answer, so may I present my top Five franky hairs of all time:

Honorable mention: beast pirates outfit hair

5- Dressrosa cannon gun thing (wish it fired)

4- Zou buzzed sides long on top

3- a wild card! the Z's ambition filler arc beetle cut with the long textured bottom. This was the outfit that made me realize that maybe post-ts franky wasn't so bad and we could still make this work. there's like no good reference pics of it tho.

2- dressrosa braids. changed my life i will not lie. when I was a kid I used to style my hair like this but I stopped when I grew up because Idk i thought it made me look weird. But I saw this grown ass man with these cute little braids and I was so inspired, I started wearing my hair like this again. wow.

1- you know what my number 1 is. everyone knows. He can't beat it and he never will. it's the original cut. of course it is. it's just perfect. I understand the need for variety, and I love him for it, but he really truly peaked out the gate.

UHHHHHHHH AS FOR THAT SONG. I have NEVER heard it before so thank you so VERY much for sending the link. I am.... baffled. Confused. Maybe a little in awe? That's really one of the worse songs my ears have ever heard, wow. I can defend a lot, but I don't know if I can defend that. My jaw is on the floor. It's no Boku Wa Doctor Tony Tony Chopper, that's for damn sure. I fear you may have cured me a la Ring Girl and now Franky! Guarantee! will live in my head forever. wow. just wow. I didn't know you could write a song that rough. but it's also not quite bad enough to be like, camp? I may need to sleep on this one for a night or two

Obsessed with this energy

Hii mags! How are you?

You probably don't remember it, but around june-july last year I sent an ask talking about how I had started a hair transition back to my natural curly hair (I don't know if "hair transition" is actually how you call it in english but I'll go with that).

I said something about how it looked weird because of the transition, specially since I had cut it short (like a channel cut) and I asked for some thoughts of aki supporting me through this change.

Back then it was a big blow on my already low self steem because the lady didn't cut it as short as I would like it, and that made the different textures in my hair very apparent, wich made it very hard to style for me since I had been straigthening my hair since I was 13 and had no idea how to properly care for or style curly hair.

I wanted to thank you for those aki thoughts you wrote back then. It might seem silly, but whenever I felt like giving up on my curls and just straightening it again I thought about aki suporting me through all of those months.

In december I finally gathered enough courage to try to get a haircut again. I went to a barber this time and showed him some reference pics of how I wanted it cut and he didn't even question it. I was so happy to not hear him say things like "that's too short for a lady" or "it'll make you look more masculine" like that lady that gave me the channel cut said.

I was kinda scared of cutting my hair so short because I have a chubby face, so I thought it wouldn't flatter me, but it was the best decision I could have done. This lenght brings out my curls way more than a long one and it's easier to style.

Anyway, all that yapping from me was just to thank you for the aki thoughts. I still think back to them every now and then.

Sorry for writing a bible in your inbox, I was just gonna thank you and ask for more thoughts on aki reacting to his s/o finally showing up with the new curly haircut, but I got carried away 🥲

You don't need to write them if you don't want to, I'll be happy if you just read this essay I wrote. I love your writing and your blog is one of the few that I have turned the notifications on because I genuinely like to read all your posts.

Have a lovely day/night 💕💕

awe of course I remember!! I'm glad to hear you are doing okay and that my aki thoughts could help you 🥹 I'm sure you look amazing and it's so great that you're loving your new haircut too :D

aki would compliment you so much... I think he gets so shy when you get a haircut because it's different but so adorable on you... he's just all blushy and glancing away whenever you're around. he tries to come up with a nonchalant way to tell you he thinks you look good, but he ends up all flustered anyways...

thank you so much for enjoying my blog, I feel fortunate that it could mean something to you in that way, I am sending you love 🫂❤️

[m1ckeyb3rry]

I’m realizing that typos that ended up autocorrecting into being from me typing so fast so if anything ever doesn’t make sense lmk LMAO

SHSH IM SO EXCITED FOR THAT OTOYA FIC childhood friends too good…like there’s just so much potential in that trope I feel jsjshdjsja

LMAOOO imagine the diff between Karasu being all sappy and Otoya being like “just get a side chick” I can see it

LMAOOO loser Nagi slander I laughed but fr!! Bye whipped Karasu is gonna be the end of me guys

NO FR HEAVY ON THE BAROU??? Like wdym red flag he’s literally husband material get out. But honestly he has one of the best growth mindsets imo too like he’s willing to learn from his mistakes and even kinda learns to communicate??? Also I have no idea how much of the light novel snippets you saw but essentially he’s a mamas boy (YEAHHHH) and basically helped around the house since he was 7 to help his mom out while his dad was working he def would have sm respect for his partner….also because he has two little sisters I feel like he’d grow to be protective over them for sure too….we need more people spreading green flag karasu agenda though like no this boy his bf material marriage material fr LMAO I forgot but he landed himself on the top 10 “would want to date irl” ranking list in Japan I think LMAO as he should

I’m gonna lose my mind when that match gets animated fr where’s that meme pic that’s like “I liked this before it was famous” that’s literally us….like we are the OGs LMAOOO

I NEED THE SISTER REVEAL SO BAD TOO I’m begging that he gets a light novel chapter and we see her OR we get one of those panel snippets again where we see her watching the match livestream (like Chigiri and Kunigami’s sisters or Aryu’s parents) actually you’re so right can someone just reveal everyone’s family members rn likeee I’m dying to see more of their lives outside of soccer too…and BABY NAGI FR I feel like that’s a lot of coping from me but baby nagi…..I need that visual (imagine he had one of those fuckass bowl cuts at some point in time too LMAOO then got too lazy to ever get a haircut again which is why it is the way it is now)

DHJSSH TAKE YOUR TIME!! I’ll be here patiently waiting for your next masterpiece…trust I will be reading those non-BLLK pieces regardless although I might have less commentary if I’m unfamiliar with the series LOL but I am very excited for the hioris works too and hollyhock….and my reqs…and POTENTIAL PEREGRINE COMEBACK??? Guys….prayers have been answered I love a good stream of content I can’t wait to read everything fr (seriously was in a drought for so long this is like paradise LMFAO)

Also I saw that nagireo post and I’m with you LMAO secret third option is that they suddenly become very static together…I’m ngl it’s kinda hard being not a fan of nagireo because er. Ok I’m sure not everyone is like this but many of the vocal fans on social media are uh. Not as receptive to constructive discussions…yeah…I’ll leave it at that LMAO

ALSO PAUSE NEW PFP?? I LOVE IT SHSHS NAGIS SO CUTE LMAOO

-Karasu anon

HAHAHA dwww i’m pretty good at deciphering things 🫡 but i will keep you posted if i’m ever lost fr 💖 i also make a lot of typos LMAO it’s okayy

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS WITH OTOYA TRULY IS THE MOST ELITE COMBO ‼️ i am so excited omg…like i’m abt to make this man suffer so bad 😰 i think he’s going to be a lot like karasu where he’s in love w reader the whole time BUT unlike karasu he has no idea that he is?? LMAO that probably makes no sense but i hope it does once i write it

otoya suggests karasu gets a side chick and he’s so offended that we get a second version of that dramatic ass nagireo breakup but it’s the tabieita breakup w karasu leaving otoya for yukimiya (otoya does NOT gaf and they’re back together in like one day max)

LOSER NAGI SLANDER ALWAYS 💖 he’s my special princess ofc but if i don’t lovingly make fun of my favs who will??

YESS the ln snippets was what i was referring to when i said he canonically respects women!! the way he stepped up to help out his mother and whatnot vindicated me so bad…like i KNEW he was a green flag and that just affirmed it!! the way he was so sad that his mother was working alone while taking care of two little kids 😕 barou truly would treat his partner so well and i agree he’s v willing to learn from his mistakes even if he’s cocky!! he’s also lowkey kinda shy i feel 😭 like when he was eating dinner w isagi during second selection after they beat reo kuni and chigiri LMAOAOA also i think out of everyone he and isagi have the healthiest rivalry — they go crazy on the field as one does but off the field they support each other and help each other out tbh. i think off field barou is so diff from his on field nonsense that it can be hard to see how ideal he is 👆🏻

SAME WITH KARASU ACTUALLY!! yeah on field he’s kind of a jackass and yeah he says random bullshit to hiori but as someone who has a younger brother i can 100% confirm that that’s just how teenage boys talk to one another 😭 and it completely does not correlate to how they are in normal company!! karasu based on hiori’s light novel works sooo hard to keep up w school, sports, and friends, PLUS he plans for his future and is tall & good looking…that truly is the kind of man you marry 🤭 i think for characters we don’t know super well (basically anyone but isagi) people just look at how they behave on the field and judge them on that but realistically they’re not going to be like that in a relationship

WE TRULY HAVE BEEN HERE!! not going to gatekeep because i need more tabieitaken fans to make more content but like…we saw the potential early on 🫡

I NEED TO SEE EVERYONE’S FAMILIES AGREED…manifesting karasu and otoya get light novels and we get to see their siblings then 🤞🏻 BABY NAGI WAS PROBABLY SO CUTE AND ROUND AND SQUISHY i bet he had fluffy hair back then too…if they give him a bowl cut i’ll cry it’s not nagi without his little bird’s nest cloud hairdo

it’s funny actually the non-bllk pieces are requests for fics based on a fic i wrote?? like they’re requests for original characters of mine 😭 which is like so crazy to me but also rlly flattering i guess HAHAHA i think you will enjoy the hiori reqs!! one of them is similar to one of your reqs for him so i might combine them a bit hehe 😏 BROOO I NEED TO GET BACK ON PEREGRINE I MISS WRITING FOR NAGI (i say that as if nagi has even made it to main character status yet 💔) the next bit is focused more on how y/n and reo became friends because we know from the future that they’re superrrr close but atm y/n like. hates his ass 😓 their platonic relationship is v special to me though because they truly go through everything together!! kind of a spoiler not really though but because he’s denied her attention before he’s denied soccer, y/n is almost like reo’s nagi before he meets nagi himself?? which is def going to switch around a lot of dynamics in a fun way. the good news is y/n is a lot more headstrong + better at communicating than nagi so there will be no dramatic y/nreo breakup scene 😭 no promises about y/n and nagi though 😈

NAGIREO FANS ARE TERRIFYING BRO THAT’S WHY I DIDN’T TAG THAT POST W ANYTHING!! like ok i get it your ship has sooo much evidence and backing and whatnot IDGAF it’s boring and i don’t like what it does to my favs (being nagi and reo themselves 😭) it’s my opinion but i promise i’m not homophobic or anything?? like what…idk i also feel like a large portion of the fandom likes nagireo and if they don’t it’s because they either don’t like nagi or don’t like reo which i’m in neither camp i just don’t prefer them as a combo!! i don’t think they’re good for one another but they’re also not toxic in an interesting way (because trust i’ll eat up a well done unhealthy relationship KDFHSJJS)…GIVE ME BACK NAGIBAROU 🙏🏻 GIVE ME BACK REO AND ZANTETSU 🙏🏻 or ykw make some new groups!! let reo be friends w like. aryu or smth 😭 or like karasu and nagi seemed to be hanging out at the arcade when all of them were there!! show me more of their vibe together (because honestly it’s working rlly well in epinagi)

NAGI IS THE CUTEST I LOVEEE HIM i may have a new theme now but he remains in his place of honor as my number one and therefore remains as my pfp this time 🗣️

[lelouch]

I love when you post your boy he’s so gender I need his haircut

THANK UUUU ANON 🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜 if you need reference pics for the hair cut hmu lol :3

[cosmojjong]

fckboy armin? + degredation is always a good combination <3

I was so excited to write this dose of Armin brainrot, omg 😩

If it’s alright with you, anon, I did this request in more of a headcanon format, but the ending is more of a fanfiction format. I’m also sorry I took so long to write this omg.

MINORS DNI!

Fem!Reader, FemBodied!Reader

TW: Mentions of NSFW topics + degradation, mean!armin, manipulation, fuckboy topics

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin whose style resembles that of the horny, manipulative, ghost-y men on campus yet is just too hot for you to handle. The way he wears dark silver rings on his left thumb, middle, and pointer fingers that accentuate his slender, pale fingers and clean-cut nails. The way the small, dark tattoos on his knuckles, right forearm, and collarbone add an aura of mystery and aggression to his being that just exudes sex. The way he wears a gold chain necklace with distressed jeans and a plain t-shirt that’s just a little too tight and shows off his pecks. Or the way he wears long black joggers and an oversized long-sleeve black shirt that makes him look taller. The way he doesn’t wear his mask correctly, always hanging on one of his ears which compliment his stud earrings and devilish smirk. The way he is broke because he’s always spending money on the newest, trendy shoes. The way he always uses way too much cologne… One look at him, and you can sense his ‘asshole attitude,’ but you can’t deny it makes your lower regions pulsate.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who’s body is so perfectly sculpted and toned that it leaves you thinking dirty thoughts in class. The way he sits in class with his sleeves rolled up, laying back relaxed in the chair, right leg bouncing out of boredom as his hard cock becomes noticeable in his grey sweatpants makes you want to run to your dorm and touch yourself. The way his abs call out to you to graze your fingertips against them when he lifts his shirt up to wipe away the sweat after walking home from the gym. The way his beautifully slender fingers hold his phone or push his hair back when he’s frustrated makes you think about how good they would feel inside you. The way his accentuated collarbone peaks through his thin t-shirts, allowing you to see the hickeys and imprints of love bites from god knows how many women makes you jealous. The way his skin is so pale and so soft that his blonde leg hair becomes barely noticeable. The way his golden hair brings out a plethora of the shades of blue in his eyes, and oh how his haircut suits him perfectly, shaping his jawline very well. How his beautiful blue eyes dangerously lure you into him, the soft but manipulative stares he gives you. How he can’t seem to maintain eye contact with you for more than three seconds because he looks at your breasts. The sinister yet sexy smiles he has plastered upon his face when talking with his friends about ‘some other whore’ he fucked the other day… Armin is attractive, and he knows he is attractive. Though you hate how arrogant his looks have made him, his suggestive stares and lip bites from such a handsome man make your heart flutter and mind only focused on one thing.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who is always posting thirst traps on instagram. You know… The pictures with the squinted eyes and the bitten lower bottom lip, either showing off his money or new shoes, pictures beside a nice car, suggestive pictures with the new girls he’s been fucking recently, biting his chain necklaces because he thinks it’s sexy. Only follows ‘successful’ men and offensive meme accounts but mostly follows half-naked women and supermodels. Leaves nasty comments on ugly womens’ pictures, calling them whores while he’s in hot girls’ DMs sending unsolicited dick pics and asking for nudes. Has thousands of followers, mostly from the party girls and rude men who go to his college. Won’t let you tag him in a photo unless he ‘looks hot.’

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who takes slutty gym pictures with his shirt off, abs out, shorts low enough to see his V line, hands in his hair, and a wink. Sends it to every girl in his snapchat contacts and posts it on his story with the ‘slide up’ text.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who hits you with the “you up?” at 2am on snapchat after ghosting you for two months. Tells you how much he misses your lewd moans and sloppy cunt, and then after pressuring you to give him nudes, he saves them and then doesn’t talk to you for at least a week.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who is so intelligent and dangerously manipulative. Who is so smart that he doesn’t need or want to pay attention in class, who convinces you to let him keep the nudes you sent him on snapchat, who reels you right back in when you try to move on from him.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who was nice to you at first, befriending you when you looked so alone, shy, and innocent, who only chose you because you looked so easy to take advantage of when he finally closes in on you.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who says he doesn’t want ‘any of that relationship stuff’ because all of his exes were crazy and that he only wants to date hot chicks.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who only texts you at ungodly hours during the weekdays and plays games like ‘20 questions’ with you so he can ask you if you’re either a virgin or a whore, if you like oral, if you’ve thought about him in dirty ways before… or truth or dare, asking you if you if you want to be his slut or daring you to send him lewd pictures of yourself.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who takes every chance he can get to turn anything sexual: the way your skirt is just a little too short that makes him suddenly grab your upper thighs, the way you innocently lick your ice cream cone on a hot summer day - he tells you to put your tongue on his cock instead, how you put your hair up in a high ponytail just makes him want to pull on it and kiss the crook of your neck… it all leaves him clouded with dirty thoughts.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who calls you ‘babe’ and refers to you as his ‘girl’ even though he has a million bitches on the side.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who makes you feel like shit about yourself because he’s constantly sending you womens’ profiles on Instagram, saying you should look more like them and ‘get a nicer ass.’

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who becomes more controlling as your sexual relationship continues, basically forcing you to let him check your phone in case you're messaging other dudes and being naughty for men besides him but gets defensive when you want to see his phone.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who refuses to eat you out but expects you to praise his cock with your slutty mouth and wet tongue.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who doesn’t really care about your personal problems or pain, and whenever you tell him you’re hurting on the inside, he offers to let you come over to his house so that he can fuck you: “once my cock is inside you again, you’ll forget all about your sadness.”

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who doesn’t use condoms because he ‘can’t feel anything’ when he wears them, so he just assumes that you’re on birth control when he cums inside you.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who violates your privacy when he’s online gaming with his closest friends, Eren and Jean, as he tells them through the microphone about how tight and wet your pussy is and how much you enjoy being treated like a slut, your mouth full of his cock and pussy dripping with his cum… going as far as sending secretive videos he took of you to them where you’re whimpering and begging for Armin’s cock.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who pressures you to do risky things you don’t want to do, but you just can’t find the courage to say no to him when he stares at you with his intense blue eyes… like when he asks you to sit next to him in the back of the class then without your approval, sneaks his slender fingers into your panties and starts harshly playing with your clit. He devilishly smirks as you try to suppress your cries of disapproval. Or like when he convinces you to let him take videos of you when you’re in a position that exposes your slick cunt to him so well. Or even how he manipulates you into trying something new that you’ve never been comfortable with, like swallowing his thick cum, letting him put you in a full-nelson, maybe letting him choke you while he spits in your mouth.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who finally closes in on you, begging you to help him study for the upcoming test since he wasn’t paying attention in class because ‘you’re just so distracting’ to him, acting so smart and innocent and respectably in front of the teacher when Armin really knows that your slutty outfits and wet pussy says otherwise… so you excitedly go over to his dorm, thankful that finally it will be a normal get-together where you could actually find out more about Armin instead of finding out more about how he likes his cock sucked. Upon entering his dorm, it is apparent that he never planned on studying with you as his textbooks are nowhere to be found, and he is sitting on the couch half-naked with Netflix on the TV.

ᵔᴥᵔ “Oh hey, y/n, didn’t expect to see you here so soon,” he says nonchalantly. You unknowingly stare at his broad shoulders, his strong chest, and of course his V-line that is not hard to miss as he carelessly talks shit about his teachers. “See something you like?” arrogance seething from his teeth as he brushes back his blond hair. You don’t say anything as your face grows red. He takes your hand and leads you to the couch. “Come on, let’s watch something.”

ᵔᴥᵔ The sound of skin slapping drowns out the voices on the TV. You don’t even know how Armin managed to get you into this position again where you’re so submissive under him, giving into him yet again. He flips you over on your back, and he props himself up, looking over your figure that’s so pathetically displayed below him. You can see his angelic hair stick to his forehead as the sweat drips down his soft but sharp cheeks. The look in his eyes has gone dark, and his smile is sinister as if he was a predator about to devour a prey. He wickedly laughs as you grind your needy cunt against his hard cock. This is where he really gets mean.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin loves to degrade you like the whore you are, constantly reminding you just how easy you are to take advantage of, how easy you are to win over with just some dick, how easy it is to make your sloppy cunt squirt and tingle from multiple orgasms, how easy it is to make you whimper and beg for his thick cock to make a complete mess of your pussy.

ᵔᴥᵔ “You really didn’t think I invited you over just to study, did you?” he snickers as he cruelly and slowly thrusts into your aching cunt, making eye contact with you and grinning as your face turns red. He grabs your throat, choking you, and begins to thrust faster which pulls shaky moans from under your breath. He inches close to your ear and whispers, “you even came over here without wearing underwear under that short skirt of yours…” he switches to the other ear, “and when I started touching your dirty cunt during the movie, you were already so wet,” you shiver at his words. He pulls back and gives you a gentle slap with his left hand, his rings stinging your face, and uses his right hand to twist your perky nipples. He begins to laugh, “but I’m not surprised that a filthy slut like you - my filthy slut - would think of such impure thoughts during something as innocent as watching a movie.” Armin leans closer to your face again, still thrusting into you at a quick pace. His warm breath raises goosebumps on your skin. He harshly grabs your mouth and tells you to open, which you submissively comply with, and he spits into your mouth which causes you to whimper. He smacks the side of your thigh. “You like being treated like some depraved slut don’t you?” You don’t reply, but the fluttering in your tight pussy says otherwise. He flips you onto your stomach, your breasts mushing into the couch, and without warning, he forces his girthy cock into your tight pussy. He is thrusting into you at an ungodly pace, making you scream and moan incoherent words. “What’s my little slut saying? Use your words, baby,” he teases. At this point, you can only call out his name. “A-armin…” He begins to torturously thrust into that one spot, and within seconds, you're bucking your hips, intensely squirting onto his couch and leaving a sopping wet dark spot. “Fucking whore, gonna have to buy a new couch because you can’t control your filthy cunt,” he growls into your ear. He quickly flips you over onto your back again, wanting to see your face. Your face is contorted with such pleasure; your eyes are rolled to the back of your head, and your mouth is wide open with drool dripping down your jaw. Armin shudders, his cock getting even harder in your tight pussy. “So hot… such a lewd slut.” He immediately brings out his phone, taking a picture. “Want me to show my friends what a cock-hungry whore you are?” You quickly nod. “So fucking pathetic,” he snarls. “I’m going to destroy your cunt, slut.” He shoves his warm tongue in your mouth, gently grabbing the hair on your foggy head. “I’m gonna break you in so bad,” he mumbles, wiping the tears from your face.

ᵔᴥᵔ fuckboy!armin who maybe in fact does want to have that ‘relationship shit’ with you ~

“A trip to an amusement park or something like that doesn’t sound so bad,” you mused in front of Satoru. “It serves as relaxation and maybe the first-years can get closer to each other, you know, bonding and so on. They will see each other many times from now on, so getting along with each other is important,” you reasoned, your eyes almost sparkling from the thought of a day off.

“But Jujutsu Sorcery is an individual–” he began.

“Satoru, I think you should see this as vacation. A vacation where you can eat sweets until your teeth rot and absolutely nobody will hold you back,” you interrupted him.

“Okay, I am sold. Am listening now.” You just knew how to convince him. Sweets.

So that was exactly how the first-year students and you ended up at a fairground somewhere in Tokyo; it was quite neat, not too small but not too spacious either. None of you could get lost in it. Still, it was buzzing with life and all kinds of people mingled. The colorfulness was a refreshing sight to take in, compared to the dark world of Jujutsu Sorcery where seeing people suffer was your daily routine. The pleasant smell of food wafted through the air, making your mouth water, as you walked past the different booths with them. Waffles sounded like absolute heaven on earth right now.

Jujutsu Sorcery certainly was a draining sport, mentally as well as physically. Therefore it was only right to take a break at times, right? Self-care days were just as important as working.

In order to wind down a bit, you had suggested a one-day trip – just you, Satoru and the three first-year students you had adopted in your mind right away after meeting them several times.

“Sensei, you look very pretty today!” Yuji complimented you. Even Megumi noticed: “Did you have a haircut? Your hair seems a little bit shorter.”

“Yeah, Nobara had a field day with me. Cutting my hair.. or more like trimming the ends, choosing my outfit, doing my make-up and so on just for today,” you gushed as if you were a high school girl again. “Leave it to master stylist Kugisaki Nobara and nobody will ever look bad,” the brunette girl commended herself. Yuji was affectionately patting her on the back.

Undoubtedly, Satoru was late – nobody was surprised about that. You already went ahead and generously treated the trio of students you loved dearly to some food.

“Thank you for the food, sensei!” As usual, Yuji and Nobara were in perfect harmony with each other, seemingly sharing a brain.

“Thank you very much,” Megumi also expressed his thanks sweetly. If you hadn’t known better, you would have thought the way his lips seemed to twitch was unintentional. “Absolutely no problem, kiddos. You guys enjoy it while I try to contact Gojo-sensei, yeah?” you shot them an apologetic smile, already fishing out your phone. The three of them nodded in perfect synchronization. They’re as cute as little ducklings, you thought.

You didn’t even need to bother calling.

You were about to dial Satoru’s number on your smartphone when Yuji’s voice boomed, “Oh! There he is! Gojo-sensei, we are here!!”

The boy waved at his teacher.

Satoru immediately spotted the pink-haired student and skipped over to where you all were standing. “Sorry for the wait! I’m afraid I got lost on the path of life!!”

“Nice of you to finally join us, but sadly, the fun is already over and we decided to go home. Just wanted to call you to let you know! We’ve been here since morning,” you deadpanned as the white-haired man arrived, looking Satoru dead in the eye – if they weren’t covered. “Wait, wha– Hold on, I am very sure I am not that late. MY MOCHI?” Satoru sounded frantic, facing his students who just shrugged their shoulders. “Serves you right,” Megumi stated calmly. Nobara, being the sassy girl she was, also joined in, “Losers don’t get to have fun and that’s a fact.”

It was such a wholesome and funny moment for you to see the students playing along with your prank without being told beforehand.

You broke out in laughter, not being able to contain it any longer, “You should have seen your face, dumbass! I was just joking!”

“Phew, I almost thought I had to kiss the idea of eating sweets today goodbye. What a horror that would be, my day would be OVER this instant,” the blindfolded man pouted, “so where should I buy my sweets? I’m gonna buy the entire place anyway, but where do I start? Any suggestions for Great Teacher Gojo?”

“Hold up, Satoru! We gotta take a picture together to commemorate this special day!” you suggested, bouncing up and down with enthusiasm. “I swear I just saw sensei’s eyes sparkle but I might be wrong,” Yuji remarked, looking at his dark-haired friend for confirmation.

“Sensei, if you want to take a picture, we have to take it at the right angle!” Nobara chimed in, the secret Instagram influencer in her on full display. She continued to explain, “It would come out great if Gojo-sensei took the pic, long arms privilege and so on.”

The female student almost seemed more into it than you were, it was adorable to you to see the usually bold student be this into taking pictures.

You hand the tall man your phone, but not without shooting him a “if you drop my phone, I’ll make you drop dead” look.

“Okay, ladies, now let’s get in formation,” the male teacher commanded loudly. Upon hearing that, Megumi immediately slapped his hand in his face and turned away in embarrassment. Why was this man like this?

“...Ladies?” Yuji asked, the expression on his face screaming ‘confusion’ “Gojo-sensei just referenced a Beyoncé song, Itadori,” the dark-haired boy explained in a hushed tone, turning back slightly as if he did not want to get caught.

“And it’s not just any song!” Satoru happily chimed in. “Yes, yes, the good old Formation,” you added, nodding in satisfaction. You remember how you showed him the album when it dropped.

“Can we all just ignore Gojo-sensei and take our pic?” Nobara inquired as she shoved everybody into their respective spots. “Alright, everybody, smiiiiile for the camera. Say cheese!”

Click, click, click, click.

Finally, Satoru had gotten his share of sweets. Complying with his sweet tooth was always an effective way to calm him for some time. Almost like feeding a baby, in a way.

Now it was time for fun rides!

...or at least that was what you thought… until Satoru dragged you along to ride a freaking pendulum ride with him. The three students had managed to talk themselves out of stepping foot on that monster of a ride but Satoru didn’t even give you a chance to refuse, he simply gripped your arm and walked towards it.

Stopping only when you were already standing in line, you nervously eyed the metallic behemoth with its iron arm. The monstrosity was seemingly ready to make you throw up from the way it would spin you through the air repeatedly, going back and forth and back and forth again. Why did you have to do this?

“Satoru,” you called his name timidly and tugged at his sleeve, the strange feeling not leaving your gut, “do I really, really have to do this?”

“Absolutely! I promise it will be very fun,” Satoru replied with a signature grin you wanted to wipe off of his face at that moment.

No, it was not fun. At all. You were dizzy and your fear of height was kicking. The blasts of air hitting your face left, right and center were not helping at all and you were sure, if anybody took a picture of you right now, you would look horribly green.

“I– can’t do this anymore!” you shouted mid-air, right before the ride swung to the other side. The force knocked the air out of you once again.

“SATORU, PLEASE GET US OUT OF HERE!” you begged and squeezed his arm with an iron grip. The height was too overwhelming. “Mid-ride?” Satoru asked and you nodded frantically. “Now that’s what I call reckless! Sounds like fun. I’m in!” he declared with a grin.

“Domain Expansion: Infinite Void.”

That was the last thing you heard the tall man say before he touched your head with his large palm.

Your eyes widened in horror as you realized this man used his domain this recklessly, for fun. Maybe it was a side effect of being able to use it multiple times a day.

The infinity gently wrapped itself around Satoru and you. Almost movie-like, you watched as the entire, vast universe beautifully unfolded in front of your eyes. Each star being created separately, then abruptly flashing by as a sea of stars – as if you were in a wormhole. You perceived the entire domain within a flash of a moment, yet tasted eternity in it. Everything but nothing at once.

Despite being touched by Satoru himself, the sensations weren’t without merit. If this was how it felt to be in the safe space of Satoru’s touch within his inner world of Limitless, you would rather not fathom how it felt to be the one hit by this powerful domain.

It took you some time to process things and recollect.

“When I said I wanted you to get the two of us out of that thing, I didn’t mean ‘send me to your domain’,” you scolded him.

“Well, it was convenient,” he defended himself and you could almost hear the grin on his face, “Bet you’ll hate me after this though.”

“Hating you was never really an option I’d ever consider but okay, we’ll run with it this time. Now undo your domain, please, while I am asking nicely.”

“Your wish is my command! This time at least.”

“Satoru.” A stern last warning fell from your lips.

“Yes, yes, boss. On it.”

“I thought you said it’ll be fun but I am absolutely not riding that thing ever again,” you took deep breaths to calm down as your feet securely touched the ground again. Your legs were still trembling a bit.

“And it was fun! At least for me! I like seeing you struggle – it’s so funny – and the way you clung to my arm? Adorable! You are so tiny compared to me, like a bug I could crush between my fingers!” The annoying sorcerer laughed merrily.

“Gojo fucking Satoru, the only thing that is about to be crushed here are your balls. With my leg. You are very lucky to have that damn Infinity of yours or else,” you threatened.

“Ouch, you really do know how to hurt an invincible man,” he snickered and flicked your forehead lightly.

Rejoining with the students was easy as they all saw the barrier Satoru’s domain created.

“You are lucky there was some kind of show going on down here. That barrier above would have freaked people out if they weren’t distracted,” Nobara said, looks shooting daggers at her weird teacher. Innocent and as nice as ever, Yuji pitched in as well: “Yeah, Fushiguro also tried to distract children with their wandering eyes! I think he did a good job.”

“Okay but what did he do though?” you asked curiously and looked at the boy in question.

“...Shadow puppets,” Megumi slowly admitted, looking anywhere but at the people in front of him.

“Oh? You love your foster-dad-turned-great-teacher this much to embarrass yourself out in public? That’s new!” Satoru teased the poor boy. “Someone has to be the voice of reason around here or you’d all be in jail. That includes preventing civilians who are able to see curses from seeing you use Jujutsu while floating mid-air,” he justified, ignoring the tall teacher’s mockery completely. 

“As much as I love slandering Gojo-sensei, I’d rather spend my day actually having fun,” Nobara pitched in, reminding everybody of why you were here in the first place.

“So, let’s go ride the ferris wheel!” she added excitedly.

More fun rides.

Before you knew it, the day passed by. You could already feel the heaviness in your legs from walking. The swirling feeling from all the rides boded in your chest – you probably would not be able to sleep well tonight. It was definitely worth it though, you thought.

You had already brought the students back to their dorm – Satoru had ran off to the school because he remembered he had to do something – and were on the way home yourself.

You were in some sort of trance, completely immersed in your phone, so you hadn’t registered when Satoru called your name until he gently tapped your shoulder, falling into step with you.

“Yeah?” you looked up to Satoru, snapping out of your train of thought.

“Just wanted to tell you; ‘Operation: Relaxation Day’ was a great success.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Satoru.” A genuine smile graced your lips and for a moment, he softened at the sight.

“You know what? It was amazing, I really should start listening to you more often,” he confessed with a smirk.

“Well, it’s thanks to your amazing power of persuasion that we got to spend it like this, so thanks for today,” you half-heartedly complimented him.

“You do know I only said we’d not be available today and then dashed, right?” he asked you, the usual playful tone lacing his voice. “Exactly what I meant by saying ‘your amazing power of persuasion’.”

“I think I’ll frame the picture we took,” you murmured softly, fondly looking at the screen of your phone. The picture from earlier was displayed on your homescreen.

Surely, you would hang it on the blank wall in your home as well. It was a personal treasure now.

•2022 has been a year of massive personal growth for me, and has been hallmarked by leaning into the shapeshifter mutability in myself that I have always been too scared to embrace. I’ve given myself room to really lean into my intellectual and spiritual curiosity and it has been so rewarding, but it has in fact, turned me into the person who will find a way to sneak in the question “when is your birthday?” in casual conversation so I can go home (if I wait that long) and do a deep dive into your natal chart but never tell you😂

•my only concrete goal this year was to try to turn our two bedroom apartment on the fringe of the city into a homey cottage fit for the shire if Hayao Miyazaki had animated it. I’ve made a ton of progress in the past 10 months! DIYing this space has been my biggest creative outlet this year and I’m so proud of it. I can share pics if you guys want to see. I document a good bit of it on TikTok but I’m still a sucker for still images.

•I just celebrated my birthday in October ! 🥳 each year that I age feels more and more like coming home to myself.

•After my unnecessarily dramatic hair saga last year, I am back at home as a brunette. Most of the blonde shattered its way up my hair strands and gave me a chemical cut I never asked for- BUT! - I spent lot of the year learning to be kinder to myself and dealing with complicated emotions tied up in the connection between my hair, my femininity and my self esteem. I got to play with box braids and extensions all summer before finally taking them all out this fall, coloring the brassy fragments on my ends back to black and rocking my now thick and healthy collarbone length hair. I gave myself some curtain bangs and thought “this fall will be my Kiki’s delivery service/ Howl pendragon era.” Turns out this is actually my Noel Fielding era. 😂 I realized last week that Yoongi and I essentially have two versions of the same haircut. After initially having a small crisis about it, I’m instead choosing to interpret as: I, too, am also hot like long haired min Yoongi. 😌 ( I know it’s a stretch. Just let me have it, okay? I need this.) I have also chosen to fully embrace the abundant amount of white hair that has become rampant in my roots this year. I started getting premature white hair at 17 and it has multiplied rapidly this year. Zack lovingly refers to it as my inner Targaryen becoming too strong to hide anymore, and as a diehard Daenerys Targaryen fan, I’ll take it. When I’m having a bad hair day, all the strands of white drape over the black like a frizzy cobweb, but on a good day, it looks pretty dope. I figure the sooner I embrace it, the sooner I have the worlds easiest Storm Halloween costume.

•Lizzie mcalpine and Delaney Bailey have dominated the biggest chunk of my non- K-pop music consumption this year.

•I’m really trying to lean into a soft version of seasonal living. It’s looked a lot like leaning into what feels right for my brain and body as my environment shifts, and for me, fall & winter have been notoriously difficult in the past. But in the last few months, I have been reminded that it is okay to go at my own pace. I rediscovered the benefits of sitting down to do little things and make with my hands. Working with my hands is incredibly grounding for me- it slows my mind and steadies my anxieties. And it makes my daily life more gentle when I have a homemade pastry waiting for me or a small project to enjoy making just for myself that isn’t for other people or their consumption. I’m looking forward to the slowness of fall as someone who’s mind usually races like summer. I’m looking forward to hosting my family’s thanksgiving for the first time and decorating for Christmas. Making stars out of paper or having pastry dough under my nails. I realized I wasn’t doing those small things for myself anymore. I became an artist who spent most of her time consuming other peoples art and forgetting to make my own. I forgot the way it can heal.

•I’ve started reading physical books again! For the past few years, I hadn’t found any that gripped me the way fics on this platform did, and I had so much trouble with my attention span and focus that I struggled to slow myself down enough to read books bound in paper. But this fall, I’ve stumbled on some gems and my gosh, I forgot the tranquility and relief of reading a proper paper novel. The Nature of Witches changed my life and I am currently devouring the invisible life of Addie LaRue. Also can we discuss how much softer on the eyes paper is ? My migraines have been so much less obnoxious and grateful for the break.

•I have become infatuated with the bookbinding TikTok and fell down a rabbit hole recently of people who hand bind their favorite fics into physical novels and I’d REALLY love to take a crack at it soon. With so many people deleting their work here (as is fully their right) there are so many stories that are so precious to me that I’d love to have on a shelf in my studio. And I secretly would love to do it for my own work too. It’s crazy when you realize that people really do supply us with novel length work for free here- it’s wild when you realize the word count of the average ya novel isn’t that different from your favorite multi-chapter fic

•like I mentioned earlier, I both terrified and over the moon to host Thanksgiving this year so if you have any tips, please help 😅 I’ve hosted two friendsgivings before but this will be a little different. Zack’s family is from the Philippines and have never had a traditional American thanksgiving and I’m stressing over impressing them. Thanksgiving is a huge thing filled with tradition for my family, but my grandmother who brought it to life for us passed in 2020. I’m planning to try to recreate her old recipes this year, which I think will be cathartic but will most likely also result in me crying my eyes out in a bowl of potatoes. Thanksgiving brings up a lot of complicated feelings for me because I LOVE the holidays but I have a lot really strongly toxic family power dynamics tied to that day (as I’m sure most of us do) and often the dread of those old things creates a stress in me that’s entirely disproportionate to what’s ACTUALLY happening in the present. My hope is to find a way to extract the beauty of that day and disconnect from the yucky things that still lurk around the edges. I’m excited to form new traditions but I’m still grieving the loss of the old. That version of thanksgiving will never exist again, and that’s hard for me. There are nasty things that I’m glad to see gone, but my stress lies in trying to preserve what was good without dragging the old toxicity into it. Dang, that’s a lot of pressure on some turkey and mashed potatoes 😅

•I won’t dive too much into this point too much because there’s still a lot I’m learning and nothing is concrete yet, but in this past year, Ive learned that there is a very strong chance that I’m neurodivergent. It’s been quite a ride for me. The way it makes certain parts of my story make so much more sense is crazy. It’s created the strangest relief and sense of grace to realize how absurd my expectations of myself have been with a brain that was never intended to do the things I tried to demand of it. Unfortunately, most the few people in my life that I’ve shared this information with have really failed to show up in helping me unpack it. It’s been disappointing but I’m so grateful to have discovered any of this at an age where I’m mature enough to know that their response says more of them than it does about me.

•2022 has been such a bittersweet year to be ARMY. There have been so many weird false starts and so much heavy news alongside such beautiful heartfelt messages from the boys and such amazing new content. So much confusion and deferred hope right alongside new beginnings and a wide open future that we’re all walking into together. All of it has made me mourn for myself but also cheer for them. I’m writing this with “astronaut” by Jin playing in my head on a loop, and it makes my heart soft- for him, for myself, for them, for all of us really. I am still so grateful for all the content they’ve given us. Honestly, I know they have released so much this year alone that I have fallen behind on and old content I haven’t yet watched. There will be plenty to occupy us in the magic shop these next few years. I already admired Namjoon, but this year has increased that tenfold. He has been so wise, so intelligent, so gracious and so brave. I’ve learned so much from him about it means to be an artist. What it means to grow as a person. How change is excruciating but necessary and how to find the beauty in it. His vulnerability breaks my heart and stitches it up all at once. I listen to his art Basel podcast episode constantly and the way he says “ (army) is really special” is etched on my heart permanently. Finding our way through the unknown is so scary, but we’re doing it together in a way and that is one the biggest gifts BTS has ever given us. I will always be grateful to them for it (and just a little bit more in love with them)💜

• And finally, i still have so, so many more stories to share: I’m just the slowest writer. I get so distracted by other projects that I can finish quicker than the monster fics I currently have drafted. 😅 I’m hoping to share an update post soon with the percentages of how close some of these are to being done and how far off others are. I actually tried to share my Jimin graduation fic just a few weeks ago, but after making all my massive annotations to it in tumblr, the app crashed and erased them all. I had to take a lap and cry about it before I could come back to share this. In fact, it did the same thing to me as I made this post today and it nearly broke my heart. Does this kind of crap happen on AO3? Cuz help. Lol. Anyway, should I maybe make shorter stories to share in the meantime? Or make these big fics into multi chapter ones instead? Idk. What do you guys think? I’m spending a lot of time working on my fantasy au Chosen by the moon and really loving where it’s going. I’m so proud of myself for crafting something with a big overarching plot since I usually just extrapolate the emotion of one small scene between two characters into an entire fic. What about you guys- what members and tropes are you wishing to see from me? What stories are you hoping to see finished and what new ones are you excited for? I’m really itching to write something fluffy and romantic but with magic 😛✨ also, do you guys care WHEN things are released- like thematically? Will you read a summer story at Christmas? or a witchy fic in November? Idk. Let a girl know :) lol.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thank you to everyone who’s stuck around and every new that’s come to join us. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them. I hope you’re all having the best fall.

I love you !💕

Edit anon here! By edit I mean making something like a pic spam or mood board. I’m still new to making them, but it’s loads of fun and I enjoy making them for series and media I like.

Physical descriptions would be great if you’re comfortable with it. I asked if you had a personal fancast just to make it more in line with what you were thinking. 🙂

Ooooh gotcha, go for it!

Some descriptions under the cut:

Anne's mixed race (white dad, Chinese-Canadian mom), five foot- something, at least half a foot to a foot shorter than Freddy. In her late twenties is a curvy gal. She wasn't when she was skating, but though as Freddy observes, though she was in Olympic shape then, that wasn't the best shape for her naturally. (Her diet was a little too strict, and she overtrained.) Had long black hair she usually wore tied up with a ribbon for most of her life, but when feeling very depressed about how Freddy was getting together with Louisa during Ice Dancing with the Stars, had a dramatic haircut, so now it's shoulder length. Retro style-- looks to the 60s for inspiration, especially to Audrey Hepburn and the French yé-yé girls. Pre-shattering her knee, she really liked pastel colors, sheath dresses, and preferred skirts over pants-- though most of the time she was usually in her school uniform or skating "uniform" of white skates, leggings, long-sleeved boatneck top, and warm-up jacket. Still prefers boatneck tops though she hasn't felt very pastel since her figure skating career ended, and now prefers pants/leggings of some kind, Breton stripes, and black (though part of the reason she's got so much black is because she's stage manager). Someone people tend to refer to as elegant or refined, and who's pretty in a delicate way as per canon. Brown eyes; looks much more like her mother than her other two sisters. Shy, but very sweet smile. Has what older people would describe as a "kind face," i.e. the sort of face that makes people feel comfortable telling her their life story either several drinks or just several days into knowing her.

Freddy's Mohawk/ First Nations/ Indigenous. Over six feet, and is at least a half a foot to a foot taller than Anne, and very built since his jock-like method of dealing with emotional issues is working out until he's too exhausted to feel upset any longer. Broad shouldered. Brown-eyed; wears his dark-ish brown hair in a hockey flow, long enough to look good under a helmet or a toque, but not long enough to put up in a ponytail. Clean-shaven except for playoffs (it's a common superstition that if you're in the playoffs and winning, you don't shave). Looks great in suits, but wears joggers, t-shirts, and hoodies unless contractually obligated to do otherwise. Has tattoos, including the Olympic rings on his bicep, and a tattoo commemorating his Stanley cup win on his ribs. Probably has more, all of which reflect some kind of big win or victory for him personally or professionally, but those are the ones that are clearest in my mind, haha. Handsome face, and somehow has managed not to lose any teeth while having played hockey all his life, which I think is mostly due to the fact that he's an exceptionally good, fast, and fluid skater, so the only times he gets hit in the face is when he gets in a fight, or someone sticks him/ does something that leads to a fight.

lmk if you need other characters!

Didja miss my face, ‘cause here it is in excess!  

I’ve been oh so happily living life at home with little erp.  I’m on day four of being solo with her  during the days before Kevin comes home at night (since my mom flew out from California the morning I went into labor 12/20 and stayed until Saturday 1/4, then Kevin went back to school Monday 1/6) and I’m absolutely positively loving it.  I always knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom because work, ugh, and home, yay, but actually getting to be responsible for a little one and cultivate my day around her needs has been both more demanding than expected but also more fulfilling than anticipated.  

The downside?  I don’t get to live this life for too much longer :(  My in-laws are arriving in eight days and staying for ten days then I only have six precious more days at home before I have to go back to work.  Insert all the grieving.  Thankfully, even though I’m going back to work it’ll only be in the office 2-3 days a week for six weeks and working from home the other days.  So it should be an easier transition back while still getting to indulge in more snuggle time.  

Amazingly, we found a woman to watch her out of her home with other children.  Erp will be one of the only infants so hopefully that means she’ll be focused on more than if there were a lot?  I don’t know, I’m extremely conflicted about the entire thing.  I don’t want to have to leave her, especially with a stranger.  Prior to finding this woman (thanks to a friend of a friend’s referral) we have been on five daycare waitlists with no openings projected until maaaaybe late summer so she’s literally my only option right now.  Thankfully, this lady is ridiculously cheap (cue suspicion) but she’s also 30 minutes away so that adds an extra two hours of commuting to my work day.  Uggghhhhh.  But, we do what we have to do, right?  All in all I’m glad we found a place we can afford and I asked for references which came back glowing, so that’s encouraging.  Hopefully it will just be temporary until a spot opens up much closer to home that’s actually a licensed, official facility (even though it’ll be double the cost).  The whole thing sucks and I just want to stay home with erp, but I’m the sole provider until we move for residency so I have no other choice.  (and even when we move, I won’t be allowed to stay home until maaaaybe he’s an attending physician which is still 6-8 years away. Boooooo)

My days consist of breastfeeding (30 minutes), feeding her a bottle (15 minutes), pumping (15 minutes) then putting her down for two hours while I either do productive things around the house or rest/nap.  Then doing it again and again and again.  She’s currently three weeks old today (and today is her due date!!) and she’s already been to the pediatrician five times to continue to check on her weight since she was dropping so much post birth.  As of two days ago she’s finaaaally back up to birth weight so at night instead of waking up every three hours to feed her (three hours from the start of her feeding so only like an hour and a half to two hours of sleep) we’re now allowed to go for five hour stretches!  Although, of course, that is if she’ll sleep that long.  Last night she decided she wanted to revert back to every three hours.  But still, progress!  

I’ve been spending my nursing time keeping very current with all your Tumblr happenings while also speeding through almost the entire six seasons of BoJack Horseman.  I’m enjoying it far more than anticipated since I usually don’t do cartoons, but also finding it waaaaay darker than imagined given its cartoon status.  I’m already sad I’ll soon be out of episodes but apparently the end of season six will drop at the end of January which I’m looking forward to even if I’m not looking forward to the end of January because it means I’ll be going back to work.  

Another thing I’ve been greatly enjoying while being at home is making myself breakfast every day.  Getting to spend the time making eggs, egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and anything else I can make over easy eggs on (since I was prohibited from eating runny yolk for nine months during pregnancy).  I haven’t started focusing on weight loss yet since I only recently have been allowed to do anything more than just rest.  The recovery process from this has been longer than anticipated since I expected once I got my body back to myself everything would be back to normal but that has not been the case.  I’ve been on two half hour walks so far and the first one, using a stroller for the first time, wiped me out for the entire rest of the day.  The second one, this morning where I used a baby carrier, went much better!  Hopefully I’ll continue to have energy to do even more things today.  I’m definitely encouraged that today’s walk was more manageable so hopefully I can start integrating these into my days even more and start getting back to longer walks.  I think I like using the carrier more than the stroller, but we’ll see what I end up using more.  Not having to worry about navigating the broken sidewalks with the stroller is definitely a plus.  I’m looking forward to when I’m healed enough to get back to weight lifting but for now, I’m glad I at least have the energy to walk and do all the things around the house. 

Thanks to @81welsh and @healthyontheinside for tagging me for SDS!  Here’s all the pics of my face for your viewing enjoyment.  Tagging @fitness-my-way, @abcd-adventures, and @dungeonsndiapers for your faces should you care to share!  

Also, huge news, I finally booked a haircut appointment for the first time in over two years.  I’ll probably only end up cutting off like two inches, but it’ll be exciting to have less dead ends, especially since I’m rarely taking the time to curl my hair (which hides the split ends) let alone shower and change my clothes.  Definitely living the scrub life up in here.  Although, every day is better and I’m feeling more able to integrate a self care routine into my days which include regularly showering and taking care of myself instead of just erp, Kevin and Saki.

I've been cutting my own hair for years and someone asked me if I had any tips.

In terms of technique the answer is "no", or at least no more than any "how to cut your hair at home" YouTube video will tell you (eg section out hair using clips, pull out a section all the same length with your fingers, cut upwards into the ends of the hair in the section you're holding rather than flat across...)

But I tried to think of some general advice for first time self-haircutters which doesn't always get mentioned. So my main things would be:

Before you start

1) Get your small mirror and larger mirror angles sorted so that you can see the back of your head. If you can arrange the two mirrors so you can see the back of your head without having to hold one mirror in your hand: congratulations. I've never had the right set up for this but it would have made all my cuts a lot easier! Spend some time getting used to this new weird backwards world and how it works because you will soon be using sharp things there.

2) Spend some time getting to know your hair and how it flows - where are the whorls and eddies? Where is your crown? Do you have a double crown? Do you have a widow's peak? Do you have a cowlick? (I have two!) Where does your parting naturally fall? What type of hair do you have? What does it do when it hits your ears, your shoulders? how low is your hairline? Is it straight or tapered? How does your hair act when it's wet and when it's dry?

3) If you're going short short and using clippers get to know your scalp and your nape by touch as much as possible - you can use a hand mirror and a larger mirror to see the back of your head and check as you go along with your cut, but it is *very* tricky to use the clippers and watch yourself in the mirror at the same time, and you won't be able to also hold any hair that needs to be held out of the way (though you may be able to use clips for some of that). Feel where your hairline is, and then see where it is in the mirror. Trace the ridge at the top if your neck and the base of your skull, then see where that is. Feel where your hairline ends behind your ears, then see where that is. The idea is to be able to navigate this pretty unfamiliar bit of your body by touch so that you can feel where to stop clipping, where to pull a section of hair from to trim etc

4) Find lots of pictures of the haircut you want, from as many angles as possible. Think about the hair type, head shape, and face shape of the models. Is their hair thicker or finer than yours? Is their hairline higher or lower? Try and find a reference pic that is as close to your hair type as possible.

Cutting the cut

I can't tell you how to do this because I only know how to cut my own hair in a small selection of styles and I have no professional experience whatsoever, but there are lots of good YouTube tutorials around now - of people cutting their own hair, of hairdressers showing how it's done, so see if you can find one that works for you.

But I do have some general advice:

5) It's usually recommended by people who know what they're talking about to cut your hair when it's wet and this is good advice. However, I sometimes cut my hair dry so I can see all the ways it behaves dry and factor them in, eg leaving some length at the crown because I have a springy bit there. I would say if you cut dry make sure it's as natural as possible, without product, styling, or aggressive bedhead.

6) Leave yourself plenty of time and don't rush. Go slow and gradual. Cut and check. Cut and check. If you're using clippers, start on a long setting and then go again with a shorter setting, then go again with an even shorter setting.

7) Have fun and don't worry too much. It's only hair and it will grow back :-) I mean, I co-sign the Fleabag "hair is everything" speech, but you can absolutely style this out if you have to. Like going out without makeup for people who typically wear it everyday, it might feel terrifying at first but you soon find that life goes on and noone really cares. There are a lot of people making a profit off you feeling otherwise (check out The Body Is Not An Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor if you haven't already)

Hope this helps!

((AS SOON AS KID SHOWED UP AND TED SAID THAT LAST LINE OF HIS, I KNEW WHERE THIS WAS GOING AND IM FUCKING SCREECHING, THAT'S IT, IM SAVING EVERY SINGLE REFERENCE PIC AND TAKING IT WITH ME TO SCHOOL, I NEED DOODLE FUEL--)) //SLAMS THE TABLE NUGGET KNOWS HOW KIDD IS DOING?? YYEESSS?? HE STILL KEEPS IN TOUCH, HOW IS HE?? IM SORRY FOR YELLING MY ALL CAPS KEY SUDDENLY BROKE,, //SLAMS THE TABLE AGAIN,,,OH GOD NO THAT VASE, THE VASE, SHIT,,, BILLY AM I HALLUCINATING(OR AN IDIOT), OR IS THAT A PONYTAIL

BILLY: Ah geez, hope your vase is alright, bud! And yeah, it’s still kinda short because it accidentally also got caught on the gum that had been in Lily’s hair before she got her most recent haircut. This thing used to be much longer, trust me.

BILLY: And it’s photosynthesis.

BILLY: Just kidding, I’m still in college like everyone else, but I do part time at a salon. Lily keeps insisting she doesn’t need to get her haircuts from a salon when I can do it with what I learn from there, but so far that’s been a disaster.

LILY: What do you mean? I like this haircut.

BILLY: There is a stray lock of long hair that you refuse to let me cut.

BILLY: Heh, that’s our secret.

LILY: A detective never tells.

TED: I thought you two were an animator and a hairdresser respectively?

LILY: Technicalities.
