You have no idea how excited i was to see someone else point out the possible parallels/symbolism between the 2 pairs of siblings when you made the post abt them ... either that or daszombes "iterator logs" characters, if youve seen it!
i am SO sorry for how long this took me to get to, holy shit, but ouhg yesssssss the sibling parallels are SO -punches wall- GOOD. are they speakin to the slugs? are they speaking to the wind, hoping it will carry their words all the way to the other? nobody will tell, nobody shall know

I AM WHEEZING.
I know some dickheads have now decided that Judaism is the "bad, violent, terrorist religion" and Islam is the "good, peaceful" one, which is only to be expected of white people, but how much of an issue is it currently? Like I've seen some USAmericans sharing how the Islamic faith shapes Gazans values and perseverance (good) except with that distinct white hippie "I'm about to imprint on this like the world's most racist duck" vibe (bad), but I didn't think they're already turning on Judaism in numbers.
Do they realize that Christianity is also the same kind of comfort to Christian minorities in Asia and Africa? That it was Buddhists that genocided the Rohingyas in Myanmar and Tamils in Sri Lanka? That Hindu fundamentalists are even now trying to ethnically cleanse Muslims in India? How Hindus and Christians are terrorized and persecuted in Pakistan? That Muslims have had a long history of persecuting and ethnically cleansing Jews too?
Really tired of asking y'all to be normal about people's religions man. There's no religion that's inherently violent or exceptionally peaceful. It's just like any other ideology that becomes a weapon in the hands of ethnic power. Interrogate power, not religion, and respect people's belief systems insofar as they aren't in your business.
#and this‚ kids‚ is what I mean by ''imprintng like a racist duck''#Othering is racism#benevolent racism is racism#Oriental bullshit is racism#philo-<insert here>ism is racism#DYYYING at the imagine of some sudda interrogating temple-goers on the wheel of aggregates and karma#even the grannies who go to sermons every Sunday would be alarmed#because most religious people are just into the rituals and feeling virtuous about it#the rest of us don't even go to temple on the full moon (that's like our Sabbath)#in fact if I meet anyone who goes to temple weekly I take several steps back because 98% chance they're also on some ethnosupremacist bs#same as super Christian people in the US#honestly most of my generation only goes to accompany the older folks#Jasmine has it on the nose#we only go to sermons when someone dies and there's an alms giving#and we have to awkwardly sit on the floor and try not to fall asleep and hope the priest isn't racist#and look forward to free dinner#lmao western Buddhists are exactly like this#I had a white Jewish friend from New Jersey who was big into Zen Buddhism#and just could not fathom that we had terrorist monks that incited hate mobs#we're just people my dude#with all the insipidity evil and hypocrisy that entails#knee of huss#racism#exoticfication#Buddhism#religion

ari you've outdone yourself again... i have no words
referring to suguru by his last name... oh the distance.. the yearning... the sadness of the reader which hurts me to see (please be happy together!) the sweets. this drabble wrecked me and wrung me dry.
i really love the movie playing in the back, the violence that suguru finds solace in, the lack of uncertainty in who hurt who. maybe that shared experience is why they both still hold so much love for each other, willing to lend their hearts to one another again
suguru's dull sense of taste and the cigarettes. oh my lord you capture adult/cult leader geto so well there's just something very tragic and lonely about him, but he's still brimming with love... the macarons. and yes everything you said abt him is TRUE!!! the intense stare. the heavy presence. poh my lord........ i dropped everything to read this and as always it's written so beautifully and feels so natural. you did a Great job!!!!!! 🌖
🌖 ANON MY ANGEL I’M SMOOCHING YOU SO GENTLY <333333333333
you’re always sososo sweet!!!!!!!! i can’t believe how fast you were with this one 😭😭 I’M GONNA CRYYY ILYSB…….. tysm for reading. and enjoying. and taking the time to tell me abt it :’3 i appreciate it sosomuch!!!!
AND AS ALWAYS YOU GET IT COMPLETELY???? wahhhh….. the dynamic…… the themes……… the tiny details. that’s exactly what i wanted to convey!!! 🥺🥺 the sense of distance with his last name, the silent yearning…. and the movie!!!! you put it so perfectly i’m actually in awe. the violence that suguru finds solace in, the lack of uncertainty in who hurt who!!!!!! yes!!!!!!! sugu watches the movie and finds it beautiful, finds that kind of heavy love beautiful, but it just makes reader feel sick. they find solace in the tenderness and sugu finds solace in the violence. :’3 and yes, i completely agree!!! i think their shared love and pain binds them together whether they like it or not… neither one of them ever stopped loving the other. like reader said, that’s their sin.
AND CULT LEADER GETO!!!!! ohhhhh 🌖 anon you have no IDEA how overjoyed i am that you like my take on him he’s literally my princess…… i love him so much and i agree wholeheartedly when you call him sad and lonely 😭😭 he’s so, so lonely!!!! and there really is so much sadness still inside of him. and a lot of softness too!!! i wanted the final scene to be heartbreaking for both people because reader can’t help but cry over what they lost, and geto can’t help but hate himself for making them cry. i wanted the ”i’m sorry” to feel ambigious in who said it bc it could really be either one of them (but obv geto murmurs several apologies after too….) they make me feel. a little ill..
anyway i’m getting carried away as always LMAO but!!!!! thank you so much for always being such a sweetheart!!!!! your comments mean so much to me <33333 i’m cradling you very close to my chest and rocking us both back n forth <3333333333
#mwah mwah MWAH#me and geto love you very much <3333#i hope you have a super lovely day/night 🌖 anon!!!!!! 🥺🥺 pls rest and eat well!!!!#also abt the cigarettes…. isn’t the idea of him smoking one. really attractive. or is that just me </3#i just like the contrast between his monk-like attire and his self-destructive habits tbh BUT ALSO LIKE…..#….. i think. he smokes in a really sexy way#it’s very effortless i don’t think he smoked in high school but i think he picked it up from shoko#i’m forever thinking abt him giving her a lighter at the end of premature death and how it either means he’s a Canon Smoker#… or that he carries one around just for her. either way i’m in tears thank you gege akutami#ily very much 🌖 anon 🫂🫂#ask tag ✩#🌖 anon !! ✩

Omg, "Junk Mail" might have the best Spoonerism ever. It changes to FUCKING MONK JAIL.
#Spoonerisms#I just thought of this.#I hope I'm the first one to realize it because this is quite the discovery.#Junk Mail#Monk Jail#It goes by pronunciation; not by spelling.#Ask L J Spooner himself; his weird condition didn't give jack about how the words he was saying out loud were spelt.

i've been struck by brain worms for a new tav but i'm going to finish zanarai's pt and then cairie's first, not in the least because i'll need to get into modding to be able to do it because she's a changeling
#her name is tis she's a changeling monk#and there's two different changeling mods on nexus but i don't like either of them#because they use the disguise self spell for the shapeshifting and in cc you make the changeling's 'true form'#which you know they wouldn't actually use#so you'll be walking aroudn with disguise self up all the time but the disguise self looks are just the defaults for that body shape :/#tis is not open about being a changeling and has been living the past few years as#well#tis#who is a cis female human#and she's going to keep looking like that most of the time unless she needs to use a different face to get the results she wants#and i'd like to be able to customise tis since i'm gonna be looking at her a lot#origpost#arctic plays bg3#it shouldn't be too difficult to do actually#at least not compared to messing around with how disguise self works#which i may try later#just change the features of the human template and give it unlimited use disguise self#[sweats] at least i hope so!

💇HumanTamer-BloodRaven Follow
Here are some ways you can keep your human from escaping without outright locking them up. I'm including stuff most of you won't be able to use just for thoroughness and to give ideas, feel free to add to this post with your own contributions.
-Erect a magical barrier your human needs your permission to cross, be sure to ask local wizards and the like for help if you're not used to setting this sort of thing up.
-Use love potions and other methods to speed up the process of removing their desire to escape you or resist your advances.
-Let them try to escape a few times, but set it up so that they fail and are immediately caught. You only need it to work enough times for learned helplessness to set in, so it doesn't need to be sustainable, psychology will do the rest.
-Put the exit somewhere they can't reach without help. Like up high if you can fly, or deep underwater if you're aquatic.
-Get guards. If you're worried about them getting at your humans, pick ones who won't be interested. Like if you only have men, recruit some lesbians for guard duty or vice versa. Bisexuals, call upon the asexuals.
👑Mr.Demon-King Follow
Also in some areas, like my domain, check for publicly available resources. I've been doing a lot to make humans more accessible for monsters, like free human tamer consultations.

👺Ascetic-more-like-ass-cetic Follow
At the monastery telling the monks about my magic that enthralls monks while I'm in the process of using it on them (the monks). The monks are enthralled.
🧛Vampy-Vevito Follow
Aren't you the guy who thought humans could breathe underwater?
👺Ascetic-more-like-ass-cetic Follow
FUCK YOU!
(53,435 Notes)
😇Daddy-Angel Follow
Some of you will literally look up mpreg spells before acknowledging the existence of human women
🍆InkEbus Follow
It'd be sexist to only bring in a human woman for baby making when you really only care about the men, women should be with monsters who truly appreciate them
😇Daddy-Angel Follow
My way of appreciating human women is getting them pregnant 🤰🤰
🐉Dragevening Follow
I wish they could lay eggs instead.
👴Nah-Gilfa Follow
Anything is possible with enough praying and mantras, do it long enough and the gods have to give you what you want
⚡️Indra-official✅ Follow
I swear if one of you fuckers calls on me via prayer or mantra for some weird sex thing I'm begging Shiva to end the world.
🪞Tezcatlipoca-official✅ Follow
You didn't seem so mad when Kunti needed you to get her pregnant.
😇Daddy-Angel Follow
What happened to this post?
(405,345 Notes)
🏇No-bell-steve Follow
It's so disappointing when I meet a human into monsters but not centaurs. I know people have their preferences, but it's frustrating how some people will be eager to have octopus like monsters from the abyss wrap their tentacles around them, but fucking a centaur is too much like bestiality.
🔔Goylegar Follow
Don't worry OP, there are plenty of monsterfuckers out there, you'll find your human partner one day. Your frustration is valid too though. It took me centuries to meet my human partner, I hope you don't need to wait as long.
🏇No-bell-steve Follow
Thank you.

Read the first two entries here (part 1) and here (part2). May end the series here or at least put it on indefinite break, don't want to drag it out.

"Irish conservationists report that the magnificent osprey has successfully bred in the wilds of the Emerald Isle for the first time in almost 250 years.
Worldwide, ospreys are doing great—listed as “Least Concern” by the IUCN who add they are increasing in population. However their massive brown and white wings have been absent from Irish skies for two centuries after being hunted to extinction.
The last recorded osprey to nest in Ireland was found in 1779, writes the Ireland-based conservation group Golden Eagle Trust on Facebook.
Visiting ospreys sometimes stop on the island to rest, but almost since the signing of the US Declaration of Independence, no pair has ever deemed it a safe environment to raise young.
A nesting pair (ospreys mate for life) was discovered by experienced birdwatcher Giles Knight, the Environmental Farming Scheme Advisor with Ulster Wildlife, a conservation non-profit.
“Along with my son Eoin, I have watched the adults return to the same site since 2021, so you can imagine my excitement the moment that I saw three chicks and two adults this year,” said Knight in a statement. “It was a rub-your-eyes, once-in-a-lifetime moment; an absolute highlight of my 30-year wildlife career—like finding long-lost treasure.”
“With at least two of the chicks fledging this season, this is a huge conservation success story and indicates a healthy wetland ecosystem with plenty of suitable habitat and fish to bring this apex predator back to our skies and plunging into the Fermanagh Lakelands. Truly the return of a living countryside!” ...
The old Gaelic name for osprey was “Iascaire Coirneach”, meaning “Tonsured Fisherman”, possibly related to how its black eye band and white crown give it the appearance of the semi-bald tonsure typical of medieval Christian monks, the Golden Eagle Trust wrote on Facebook in a celebratory post.
“Now these birds are back in Ireland and breeding successfully, it is critical that they are left in peace so their numbers can continue to grow by returning year on year to breed,” Knight added in the statement. “We believe and hope that this could be the start of a raptor dynasty.”"

Suddenly, an idea got to me when I read one comic. So, basically, Yuu sits on bench, looking down and all depressed, then Ace and Deuce see them like this and ask what's wrong, Yuu tells them to sit down, so they can tell them, they sit down, then Yuu says to them: "Guys... A bench is freshly painted..." Idk I just felt like it suits them very well. Cue as they proceed to go through 5 states of grief
First Year Trio vs Freshly Painted Bench
sorry for the wait, I hope you like it <3
Ace and Deuce were minding their own business, strolling through the campus courtyard, when they spotted you sitting on a bench. But it wasn’t just the usual “hey, there’s our friend chilling on a bench” type of sitting. No, you were hunched over, elbows on your knees, staring at the ground like life had personally punched you in the gut and stolen your lunch money.
“Hey, are you okay?” Deuce asked, his brow furrowing in concern. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he could recognize a sad face when he saw one.
Ace snorted, nudging Deuce. “Pfft, maybe they just lost at UNO again. Come on, it’s not the end of the world.”
You lifted your gaze ever so slightly, giving them both the most soul-crushing, mournful look. A look that said you’d just seen the darkest depths of human existence. It was the kind of expression usually reserved for people in tragic Shakespearean plays, not normal students in the middle of the afternoon.
“What happened?” Deuce asked, his voice soft, like he was bracing himself for some life-altering news. “Did something really bad happen?”
You motioned for them to come closer. “Sit down,” you said quietly, like someone on the verge of revealing the meaning of life itself.
Deuce’s concern deepened. Without hesitation, he plopped himself down on the bench beside you. Ace, less certain but intrigued by the sheer drama of it all, sat on your other side. The three of you formed a solemn row on the bench, like mourners at the world’s saddest funeral.
There was a long, weighted pause. Both Ace and Deuce waited, eyes wide, as if you were about to drop the most earth-shattering truth bomb of all time.
Finally, Ace broke the silence, his curiosity getting the better of him. “So, uh… what’s wrong?”
You sighed. It was a deep, theatrical sigh, one that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand years of suffering. Slowly, you turned your head toward them and said, in a voice so grave it could’ve been narrating a tragic documentary:
“The bench… is freshly painted.”
There was a beat. A moment of absolute, deafening silence.
Then:
“WHAT?!” Ace yelped, his face immediately scrunching up in horror. He bolted upright like he’d just sat on a beehive, but it was too late. He glanced down, eyes wide, at the back of his pants, and sure enough—a vibrant, shiny streak of wet paint was smeared across his clothes.
Deuce’s reaction was slower, but only because he was in denial. “No, no, no, wait, it can’t be—” He reached a hand back to touch his pants, and the moment his fingers brushed the sticky surface, his face fell into the deepest despair. “Oh no… nooooooo!”
You stayed seated, as calm as a monk who had achieved inner peace. “Yep,” you said softly. “Just freshly painted.”
Ace, now pacing in front of the bench like a man possessed, threw his hands up in disbelief. “WHY DID YOU TELL US TO SIT DOWN?!” His voice cracked somewhere between fury and absolute confusion.
You shrugged, not even looking at him, your voice still deadpan. “I needed you to understand my pain.”
Deuce, still frozen on the bench like a statue, glanced back at his pants, horrified by the neon streak decorating his backside. “But… but why didn’t you just tell us?” His voice was faint, like he’d just witnessed a crime against humanity.
You finally stood up, stretching a little as if your emotional weight had lifted now that you’d successfully shared your burden. “Because misery loves company,” you said, a tiny smirk playing on your lips. “And now… you get it.”
Ace stared at you, hands in his hair, mouth hanging open. “That’s… that’s messed up, man!”
Deuce, however, was too far gone. He wasn’t even mad anymore. His face was a portrait of pure, unfiltered sadness. “I’m gonna have to wash these, aren’t I? Like, scrub them for hours…”
You nodded solemnly, patting him on the back—though you made sure to avoid touching his pants. “Welcome to the club. It’s going to take at least three washes, minimum.”
Deuce whimpered.
Ace, however, wasn’t done venting. “You couldn’t have just given us a heads-up?! ‘Hey guys, don’t sit here, the bench is painted,’ or something?” He waved his arms wildly as if demonstrating the hypothetical conversation.
You just shrugged. “You looked like you needed to sit.”
“And now I’ll never sit again,” Ace groaned, dramatically flopping back down on the other side of the bench in defeat—only to shoot back up in horror, realizing there was even more paint he hadn’t noticed.
You couldn’t help it. You chuckled.
Ace pointed a finger at you accusingly. “You—this was a trap! A setup! You’re a paint terrorist!”
Deuce, still sitting in quiet despair, muttered, “This is worse than losing at UNO…”
The three of you stood there for a moment in shared misery. Well, you stood. Ace and Deuce just fidgeted around awkwardly, trying to figure out how to move without getting more paint on themselves.
Finally, Deuce sighed. “I guess we’re going to the laundry room, huh?”
Ace groaned, giving you one last betrayed look before shuffling off with Deuce. “This isn’t over. You owe us.”
“Yeah,” Deuce added, still staring forlornly at his pants. “You owe us big time…”
You waved after them, feeling surprisingly lighthearted now that your suffering was mutual. “I’ll buy you guys lunch later!” you called, though you weren’t sure if they even heard you over their grumbling.
As they disappeared into the distance, you sat back down on the cursed bench, content with the knowledge that, while your pants were ruined… at least you weren’t alone.
