[swag-system]

Does anyone have any movie or TV show recommendations 🥺 we are bored (recovering from surgery+freshly unemployed) and the only enrichment other than our shitty phone that dies in 10 minutes is our TV (our computer gives us headaches real bad for some reason)

I have been shared a shitload of streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu I think, Amazon video, Max, probably more tbh!!) (sadly I don't think we were shared peacock or paramount+ tho) so like anything that is on A Streaming Service is fair game

No guarantee I'll watch stuff but I have a lot of free time now so. Tell me Abt ur favorite shows or movies n maybe I'll watch em!

[undercover-monsterlover]

Hiii!!! If it isn't too much trouble and may I have (male adult) attack on titan matchup please. (I am 19, not a minor) My pronouns are she/her. I tend to be shy around new people but I can be somewhat loud with people who im close to. My height is 5'0. I would describe my aesthetic as soft-ish/cottegecore, lots of long dresses and skirts.

Im not very athletic and im not a big fan of sports but I love to go roller and ice skating. I also love to read books and to also cook and bake food. I also like to garden. I've been playing the violin for 7-ish years, all though I haven't played in awhile due to college not having an orchestra club to be, despite that I still hold violin very dear to my heart. I love animals. I am currently studying in college. I like to Watch nature/animal documentaries. I also love sweets.

Somethings I dislike are people who bend or ruin my books and people who speak over me when im trying to talk.I love music, I can find music I like in any music genres. Sorry if I spelt anything wrong. Hope I'm not bothering you:)

Yay, first Matchup! Alright, I'd match you with....

Reiner Braun

The first thing that made me think of Reiner for you, was honestly your style. We know from the earlier seasons he seems to like overtly feminine girls, based on his teenage attraction to Historia. As an adult, I think he would at first be attracted to your style, and find you cute, with you short stature and flowery clothes. The real connection between you two might be formed when you begin to talk, as both of you may be reserved around newer people, but I think as soon as you start acting louder and more comfortable with him, he'll feel almost proud he managed to connect with you.

He may feel as though he can no longer make connections with new people, or be scared to since so many of his friends have died. So when he meets you, he's almost scared to become closer, even though he's already become so attached. He may even try to distance himself at first, but let's be frank, this man needs some love, so he won't last long, especially around you.

When you do officially become a couple, he'll throw himself into that protective, chivalrous role as your boyfriend, thinking he has to protect you, especially as you seem to have a very gentle, soft personality, but he'll eventually calm down. Though, he might always hold the insecurity that you'll someday decide he's too broken, too old, too much for you to handle. He thinks should be the one caring for you, he's the man, right? But when you hold him, soothe his anxieties, tell him you love him, that fear might be satiated, juuust a bit.

This man has been a soldier for his entire life, with not much downtime, so I would predict most of your dates or quality time at first would involve your hobbies. He may have not exactly been the academic type, but god does he love to listen to you read to him, (even if he thinks the book is boring). And boy, he will absolutely inhale any food you make for him. You make a meal you're worried didn't come out quite right? It's already gone. You bake something that you aren't sure he'll like? He's already eaten it and is now trying to kiss you with frosting still on his lips.

Above all else, he is enchanted by your skill with the violin. He never had much of an appreciation for music before, beyond occasionally enjoying a tune he heard in passing. But now, there's nothing he loves more than to hear you play. It's soothing to him, no matter what you're playing, it's as if the worries he holds, the weight of years of stress from war, the anxiety, paranoia, depression, it all fades as he listens. And how can he help it? You look so beautiful when you do, that focused look on your face, the intuitive movements of your hand, the clear enjoyment you have when playing, it's all too much for him.

You're his everything. You bring him so much joy, joy he didn't think he could feel anymore. You've given him so much to live for, introduced him to so many new things, he can't imagine going back to life without you. And he'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen. He'll indulge your every whim, satisfy every need, fetch whatever you'd like, do whatever you wish, just say the word. He loves you, after all.

Meet the Witch

[Do Not Reblog]

The last time I did this was early 2022, so let's update it. (This information is accurate as of 1/19/2024.)

Personal

Name: Archer Sims

Pronouns: He/Him

Birth Year: 1988

Signs: Sagittarius Sun, Moon, and Ascendant

Where: Midwestern United States

Magical Interests

Right now I’m extremely interested in learning about as many magical areas as possible while I figure myself out, but my focus is currently drawn to these subjects:

Chaos magic and sigil magick

History of witchcraft

Types of witchcraft and paganism

Cultural studies + open & closed practices

Familiars

Divination (especially tarot)

Death and dying (purely educational)

Some Of My Favorite Magic Blogs

@brightgnosis @serpentandthreads @will-o-the-witch @breelandwalker @normal-horoscopes @archives-discord @coinandcandle @growing-yet-into-magic @windvexer @jasper-pagan-witch @hallow-witxh @anotherdayforchaosfay

Fun Facts

I chose my name as a reminder of my goals. “Archer” because it takes practice and discipline to learn archery, while also suggesting you should always keep your target in sight. “Sims” because one meaning is “he who listens”, and I’m here to learn as much as I can through as many means as possible.

I enjoy scary and horror podcasts and stories, but also get spooked really easily by them. I talk a big game but am actually a weanie.

I’m an avid gamer - TTRPGs, LARP, video games, board games, etc. In fact, I met my partner through a local LARP.

I am very much an animal person, but my favorite animals are urban “trash” critters, like opossums, racoons, rats, crows, etc. I’m also weak to baby animals of any species.

If money were no object, I would start paying off folks' student loans. I believe education should be accessible, not crippling.

Miscellaneous

Things I Do in My Downtime

I read and write a lot of sci-fi and fantasy.

Watch documentaries about nature and animals (the weirder the better), serial killers, and anything else that catches my interest.

Play video games! My favorites are Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Skyrim, the Persona series, the Mass Effect series, the Horizon series, and Kingdom hearts 1 & 2. I’m also a sucker for a good VN (my current favorite is Jack Jeanne) and musou games.

Practice mixed media art.

Favorite Movies & Shows

Movies: Alita: Battle Angel, Pacific Rim, Cloud Atlas, Stardust, Aliens, Star Wars, Wonder Woman, most of the MCU, too many animated films, and a lot of the classic B&W monster movies.

Shows: Ghosts, Sense8, Futurama, Mythbusters, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Twin Peaks, Dark Shadows (the original), Great British Baking Show, pretty much anything with Gordon Ramsey, and a lot of anime (like Digimon Adventure) and American cartoons (like Steven Universe, The Owl House, and Gravity Falls).

Currently Binging

I’m binging The Witch Daily podcast alongside The Adventure Zone and The Magnus Archives, but intend to check out Hex Positive, The History of Witchcraft, WitchSpace, Seeking Witchcraft, Powerful Trouble, BS-Free Witchcraft, and Books & Broomsticks.

I have major trust issues so it takes a while to get close to people. I love taking care of animals because it makes me feel like I'm needed by someone (sorry for being so depressing 😭), I have trouble showing emotions through facial expression or tone of voice so I often look either really bored or irritated (and sometimes I am, but not always), I'm a bit of a control freak, I'm accidentally judgemental without realizing it, I'm so so sleepy all the time 24/7 there's never been a time where I wasn't sleepy in the past 10 years

Hi Schneider! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like your matchups!

In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...

You and Atsushi are very similar in that you’re both more on the quiet side and want to feel needed. This means you’re able to support each other in ways other people can’t.

Atsushi is a lot more open with his emotions compared to you, but this difference doesn’t cause problems. He’s very in tune with people's emotions, even if they don’t outwardly display them so he usually has some idea of how you’re feeling.

Since you both want to feel needed and have some trust issues, you’ll both place a lot of trust in each other. Where other people may not understand or be unable to help, you’re usually able to have each other’s backs.

There is a lot of drama to be had when the Armed Detective Agency is involved but Atsushi will do what he can to keep you away from and out of it as much as possible. There’s only so much he can do though.

I think Atsushi would really enjoy gardening. He’d find it peaceful, and it gives a nice sense of doing something small to make the world a better place.

In Sk8 the Infinity, I match you with...

Reki is one of the best people to have around if you’re clumsy. He’s always getting into accidents with his skateboard, so he’s got into the habit of carrying around antiseptic and Band-Aids everywhere he goes, just in case.

He’s a very expressive person but gets along with everyone, regardless of how open they are with emotion. Just look at him and Langa. Langa wasn’t the most openly emotional at the beginning of the series but that didn’t stop Reki from befriending him.

No need to worry about getting lost with Reki around. He’s skated all over town and knows every backstreet like the back of his hand.

Always on the lookout for things you can add to your collections. He’s got a sharp eye for those things and loves being able to give them to you so he can watch your reaction.

Whether it’s a cool rock he accidentally skated over (and ended up needing to use some of those Band-Aids), a bottlecap from his drink at lunch, or a plush toy he won at an arcade, he likes gifting you thinks that he hopes remind you of him.

In Legend of Zelda, I match you with...

While you and Link share a lot of similarities, you also have quite a lot of differences. And it’s those differences that make your relationship work so well.

There’s no need to worry about your trust issues with Link around. He’s one of the easiest people to trust in Hyrule and for good reason to. This guy will do everything in his power to make sure you never feel betrayed by him.

I see Link as someone who would enjoys shopping with you. He’s got a good eye for thinks you might like and an even better eye for discounts and sales. He’s also happy to carry any bags you have.

While he’s not super messy, I do see Link as someone who tends to just put things down wherever instead of back where they came from. This can sometimes lead to mess but he’s always happy to tidy things up if they get out of hand.

He knows you can be clumsy so he’s starting to develop a sixth sense to know when you’re likely to bump into or trip over something. He always has bandages and healing potions on hand just to be sure.

MY OSCARS PREDICTIONS 2023 | PART 2

Here are my final predictions for tonight’s Oscars. Not too many extra reasons and opinions this time because I am way too sick for that. Anyway, enjoy! I’ll mostly be rooting for Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Best Picture

Should win: Everything Everywhere All At Once

Will win: Everything Everywhere All At Once

Should have been nominated: Nope, Babylon, Decision to Leave, Aftersun

Best Director

Should win: Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Will win: Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Should have been nominated: Jordan Peele, Nope, Charlotte Wells, Aftersun

Best Lead Actress

Should win: Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Will win: Cate Blanchett, TÁR

Best Lead Actor

Should win: Brendan Fraser, The Whale or Austin Butler, Elvis

Will win: Austin Butler, Elvis

Best Supporting Actress

Should win: Hong Chau, The Whale or Stephanie Hsu, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Will win: Kerry Condon, The Banshees of Inisherin

Should have been nominated: Danai Gurira, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Best Supporting Actor

Should win: Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Will win: Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All At Once

The acting categories this year are tough because there are too many incredible nominations. The Michelle Yeoh vs. Cate Blanchett race is so difficult as they both really stood out this year and are pretty much equals talent-wise. Personally, I’ll mostly root for Michelle Yeoh because she made the film hers and really managed to move me the most. Likewise with Best Lead Actor, there’s too much talent. Colin Farrell is an incredible actor who perfectly portrayed his character, but Austin Butler was Elvis and my ultimate favourite Brendan Fraser made me cry while watching The Whale. There’s also Paul Mescal who wholeheartedly deserves that nomination and if he went home with the award, I wouldn’t be upset at all.

Best Supporting Actor seems obvious to me but again, Best Supporting Actress I can’t predict well at all. Judging from previous awards shows and who I guess will win overall, I think Kerry Condon has the highest chance. But really, anyone in the category could win. Hong Chau was my favourite, as The Whale isn’t worth much without its incredible acting and she really blew me away. Stephanie Hsu is my second favourite because she was able to bring such a relatable performance but that doesn’t mean I won’t scream with happiness if Angela Bassett wins because again, all such phenomenal talent. Genuinely curious as to who will win, because these are very close calls.

Best International Feature Film

Should win: Close

Will win: All Quiet On The Western Front

Should have been nominated: Decision To Leave

Heartbroken Close doesn’t stand a chance against the clear favourite as it was the type of film that made me proud to be Belgian. Still my favourite, although I get why it doesn’t get as much international hype as some of the other films. Not nominating Decision to Leave feels like a massive mistake, though.

Best Animated Feature Film

Should win: Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

Will win: Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

Should have been nominated: Wendell & Wild

Best Documentary Feature

Should win: ??? (Didn’t get around to watching most of them, sadly)

Will win: Navalny

Should have been nominated: Moonage Daydream

True Otaku and Fandom Conventions

Before I took this class, I barely watched anime and I had assumptions about the different genres and fans. I think my exposure to anime and otaku has, unfortunately, been things on the internet perhaps making fun of them or criticizing them. I think that society has put an unfair label on anime fans and the documentary “True Otaku” has helped me to understand what really happens at those conventions and what the people are really like. For me, I cannot say I am remotely a fan of anime, but watching the documentary has helped me understand its appeal more. First of all, I thought the host, Nicole Boyd, did a very good job at engaging with the attendees of the convention, as well as people who work within the conventions. For example, she interviewed writer and volunteer Lauren who gave insight to how attendees feel when attending conventions. She gave an interesting analogy that people who go to medical conventions dress a certain way because it is appropriate, which is the case for those who cosplay and attend anime conventions. After watching all three parts of the documentary, I have a better understanding of the camaraderie within the otaku community and what the common points of emphasis are. One particular thing I noticed was how people have different definitions for otaku and how some anime fans do not label themselves as such. Additionally, Nicole mentioned that many of these anime conventions equate to attending a sporting event, which I am more well-versed in, so I could appreciate the desire to represent their favorite shows. One of the more impactful parts of the documentary were the attendee testimonials. Many of the interviews impressed me because of how much Shadow Cultural Capital many of the attendees obtained. For example, when the two girls dressed in Lolita fashion were talking about the subgenres of Lolita fashion and how it was their main draw into the anime world was especially interesting. I thought the documentary did a very good job at communicating that anime conventions are a place where all genres are well represented, and that there is a little bit of everything that satisfies the endless types of anime fans. For example, one of the interviews was a mother who brought her two children with her. She talked about how she had been consuming anime and manga for years and introduced her kids to it. Her kids were so excited to go to the convention and they were dressed up as their favorite characters. Another interview was of a family on vacation and each member of the family- mom, dad, and sister- were dressed as characters. True Otaku gave good insight on a very misunderstood culture which often gets the short end of the stick. I personally have been responsible for jumping to conclusions about many anime fans, conventions, and shows, so watching this documentary gave me a better understanding about what things appeal to people. Some of the main takeaways from the documentary were how many of the cosplayers were attention whores, each niche genre in anime is represented well at conventions, many people find a sense of community within the conventions that they have not experienced outside of them because they are criticized for liking such things. Personally I enjoyed this more than Genshiken because I found myself jumping to conclusions. The characters in Genshiken represented a small percentage of the people who attend the anime conventions. I have never attended an anime convention or any convention of any kind, so I could not relate to much of the documentary. I do not think I will go to an anime convention ever in the future, nor will I watch anime outside of this class. What I can say is this; anime is a unique medium of entertainment, and these conventions represent the medium well. I think that when the documentary talked about its global reach, I was impressed because it is true that when people have common interests there is more potential for a better relationship, so I can appreciate that anime can be used as a way to better relationships with different places all over the world.

Im not sure if this is open or not, i hope you don't mind? Also, my condolences to the anon who lost their bird today

what nickname would you call your lover? - nicknames! im not comfortable abt pet names tbh

what's your perfect date idea? - just indoor dates, or (if i could force my ass to get up) aquarium dates(fishes are always interesting! Especially whale sharks) Or any date if they want too, im very much the type of person to follow their lead

what are your hobbies? - playing games, reading about biology, watching nature documentaries, organising stuff (especially rearranging monopoly), and if I don't have anything to do? I sleep

what's something you hate in others? - pretty much mean people, but mostly those who don't understand others, like everyone or myself, and those who thinks they are greater than everyone

What are your main 3-5 personality traits? - I am easygoing, the type of person to not worry about anything and just enjoyed to chill with everyone, though sometimes I could be lazy and that's a problem, i enjoy sharing my interest with other people if they ask about it, but sometimes it's a pain when i kept rambling about science. I am also quite dumb?(especially in math) Just middle smartness like most would have, but i do have high emotional intelligence, and that's a plus! I can tell when someone is sad or just them feeling negative emotions

what activities/hobbies you like? - gaming, drawing(especially drawing animal anatomy), skateboarding, and roller skating!

what activities/hobbies you don't like? - social events, i have to prepare a myself some clothes at 8 to go there because of my sleep schedule, and me not wanting to get out of bed

Have a good day!

Hii! Yes they are open! And also yes poor bird...

I don't mean to be mean now but... let's get to pairing, shall we?

So I pair you with...

🥁🥁🥁

Kanade Yoisaki!

⊱ Kanade is really alright with nicknames and she most probably won't use pet names for you if you won't either! So maybe you can call her "K" or "Kan"?

⊱ and she's really a big fan of indoor dates since it doesn't require her to go out but she can also spend some quality time with her lover! But going somewhere calm like aquarium is also alright with her, as long as you're not on sun or anywhere demanding energy from her it's gonna be amazing

⊱ I have a feeling like it depends on genre with games with her so maybe you can find some games in common! As for how much you like nature and biology in general, it may be funny but she got into it and is better at it thanks to you. And now she doesn't mind watching few nature documentaries with you! As for organizing... it's your difference... she does try to have things organized but it just ends up on that important things are organized and others aren't really... You both like to sleep tho-

⊱ as for your skateboarding and roller skating... she will give them a try if you ask her but pretend it'll drain all her energy...

⊱ and finally, she's not a fan of social events either so it's rare when she'd initiate meeting at those but she also can go through them so she may help you with preparations if you may need that

You and Kanade were at aquarium, it was rather calm, you were now sitting on a bench because she got tired of walking and you decided to take a little break to drink and maybe eat something.

"Thank you for doing it for me..."

"No problem! How did the photos turned out?"

"I think good. And Mafuyu liked them too."

She showed you few photos, there were many photos of all kind of fishes you could find in this aquarium but there also was a photo of just water in aquarium... but you decided to not question that and continue to admire all the really good photos she took.

"It's really pretty here~ Would you mind coming here with me and others form Nightcord next time? I think they may like it here as well..."

Personal Philosophy

Wow. I did not realize how little I knew about tourism, culture, travel habits and even worldly events that have affected tourism and travel since the beginning of time. I enjoyed gaining so much knowledge about why people travel and what motivates them to do so. This class has taught me so much about what to look for when traveling and what I should and shouldn't do while being a tourist.

In my opinion, and after watching the films and reading the articles, travel is different for everyone. There are so so many reasons why someone could choose to travel. Whether it be out of plain curiosity, adventure, religion, work, volunteering, boredom, etc. Like Reese Witherspoon in Wild, who travels to help her with her grief and Ben Affleck in Argo who traveled and risked his life for people he didn't even know. My personal philosophy on travel after this class is that travel is beneficial in order to learn about and accept the world that is unknown to you. I think even before this class I have always wanted to travel on the basis of just seeing what it looks like in foreign places and the people that are different from me. I feel a little bit like I have been trapped in a bubble my whole life, not having traveled very much outside of the country. I know what I am used to and not much more. I enjoyed reading the Philosophy of Travel PDF that explained many of the different opinions of philosophers around the world. I agree most with this quote, "We seek to satisfy many ends when traveling. Policy should show awareness that travel is more than merely getting from A to B." I think traveling can satisfy an itch in our brains that we didn't even know was there.

I was tested when asked what I would do in certain tourism situations. I am motivated now to take in more when I travel. To understand the culture and the natural life around me without trying to change it or conform to what I know. I am more aware of the things that are changing tourism for the worse. The movies such as Our Blue Planet and Seaspiricy showed the affects of plastic consumption, overfishing, and tourists negative impact on animals natural habitats. I will change the way I use plastic and be aware of where my food is coming from before I buy it. SDG's are also a new thing that I learned that I think will be important to me going forward. To be aware of what I can do to change the world of tourism and to help it be sustainable in the future is something I will keep in mind when traveling. Working towards goals to maintain and create tourist regulations so that tourism doesn't continue to destruct these beautiful destinations will be extremely important in our future. Fyre Festival proved that certain events can change people's perspective on a once desirable destination spot. The same goes for Deep Horizons, because the oil spill has still not been fully recovered in the Gulf of Mexico, which can deter people from traveling there, which can hurt a tourist city financially.

This class and these movies/articles have motivated me to travel for reasons more than just vacationing. I have realized how little I am aware of things happening on my planet and how much someone can have an impact just by taking small actions. For example, researching a foreign area before volunteering or traveling there. I will continue to look for movies, documentaries and articles on how to be a good tourist.

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #166

Are you interested in any reality TV shows? I like some like cooking shows or other competitions when I'm watching TV with others, which is the only time I ever watch television anyway. Historically I've fucking adored animal documentary series, like Meerkat Manor or Orangutan Island, and I remember I loved one featuring rhesus macaques as well, I just don't remember its name. I am VERY interested in watching animals just live their lives.

What’s your favourite thing to have on toast? Light butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Childhood delicacy, man.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever had to deal with at your job? So much social anxiety that I would end up in the bathroom having a total meltdown regularly. For external things though, just impatient people.

Do you think being born was a mistake? No.

Do you have a large dog? If not, are you afraid of them? We currently only have the smallest species of dog lol, but we've had a boxer mix before. I'm not afraid of them at all, I love big dogs.

What is something you used to always do but don’t anymore? Once upon a time I lived off of soda, like it was ALL I drank for many years, but I've cut back immensely, I'm working towards getting to a point where I'll only drink one personal-sized (not a two liter) bottle a week. I enjoy soda more than I do eating, and I've absolutely noted that it can bump my mood up quite a bit, so getting to where I am now is a big fucking deal if you know me.

Has anyone ever told you that they loved you, and you didn’t say it back? Yes, that's when I realized things had gone too far.

What���s your favorite hairstyle on the opposite sex? I sincerely love emo hair help 😭

Have you ever done a Mason jar craft? No, but I find those SUPER cute.

Who is your favorite photographer? Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya tops the list, her work is SO dreamy, and the animals featured are all humanely owned.

Were you shy in high school? Yes, but I'm way worse now.

Do you wish karma were real, or are you glad that it isn’t? Oh I very much wish it was real, but it's quite obvious to me that it's unfortunately not.

Who are the cutest babies in your Facebook newsfeed? None lol, I only have one friend with a child who is truly a baby instead of at least a toddler and god I love this person but the baby is NOT cute lol, but I very rarely find very young babies to be cute anyway.

Are your ears pierced more than once, if at all? Yes, I have two on each earlobe, and my right tragus is pierced. I want more.

Did the last guy/girl you kissed have any piercings? Nah, he's not into piercings for himself personally.

Do you actually love your parents? I most certainly do.

Do you know anyone autistic? My niece, and I am FINALLY being evaluated for it myself I want to say next month. I know I have at least one autistic acquaintance, too.

How about someone bipolar? That I'm already diagnosed with, type two. My oldest sibling is also bipolar, but she has type one.

Do you believe in celebrating anniversaries? I celebrate yearly ones, yes.

What was your very first pet like? He was a long-haired (I'm pretty sure silkie breed) orange and white guinea pig named Squeak. <3 He loved attention and was such a character, always gentle and we'd do excited guinea pig squeaks back to each other haha. <3 He was sadly kept in an inadequate cage (you know, the shitty rectangle ones you find at chain pet stores that are actually horrible for them), but I of course didn't know better with how young I was, but he was always a good boy. I'm thankful he lived the proper lifespan for the little guys, I just wish I'd been aware enough to give him a more enriched life.

What’s the coolest hobby one of your friends has? I actually really find D&D to be super interesting; I have multiple friends who do it and wish I had that level of comfort to do stuff like that without being embarrassed by it, I NEVER could do it, I'm way too fuckin awkward.

Have you ever pet a cow, a sheep or a pig? I've pet a small pig. <3 I'd love to pet a cow and sheep too, though!

What is the wallpaper on your best friend's cell phone? IT'S LITERALLY JUST FUCKING GRAY I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM LIKE WHY

Do you like your girlfriend’s/boyfriend’s parents? I adore his mother, she's such a fucking sweetheart with a ginormous heart and is SO damn accepting. She's been an absolute darling to me ever since she met me. I never met his dad, he died of a very sudden heart attack or something similar like over ten years ago, so I'm not comfortable making a judgment about him. I know Girt's always explained him as having been a hardass, but a very caring one that loved his family to death. He's mentioned that me and him are quite different, primarily politically, so we might've butted heads but he was ultimately pretty confident that he would've loved me. I really like hearing stories about him, and pictures are always super cool because holy SHIT Donald Sr. put his fuckin face through a copying machine and plastered it onto his son lmfao, like it's unreal.

Do you like Polaroid photography? YES, I find it super super aesthetically pleasing and so nostalgic; I myself would really like to have one to take fun little pictures with it sometimes.

Is there a friend of yours who curses nonstop? Who would that be? Haha you mean me? Girt's even worse than I am though, he's one of those people that will curse freely in public, not to be rude or provoke people, but because he just straight-up doesn't realize he does it. He's the person who has more than once gone "SHIT I shouldn't be cursing" NOT quietly in public lmao, I've sometimes just had to give him a lil nudge for him to realize when in public or around kids. Girt is extremely intelligent, he really really is, but he will often just do things very mindlessly and without evening beginning to realize that he's doing them.

What internet browser do you use? Chrome.

What do you usually do to let your feelings out? Listen (usually very loudly) to music, vent to people I trust, sometimes do artistic stuff like write or draw. I cry very easily, and sometimes doing that will help relieve stress. On VERY few occasions I've screamed into a pillow, and boy does it feel good when I'm REALLY upset enough, even though I absolutely hate doing it. Even though I know factually it's harmless and is even a good way to ease frustration in a way that doesn't hurt others or property, I feel like an aggressive person the few times I've let myself do it and just really don't like that.

What was the last thing you uploaded/plugged into the computer? Uploaded, a picture from my phone. I last plugged in my phone to charge; it fits the charger for my mouse so I can use it when I'm in here.

Are you participating in Project 365 (you take a picture of you/something every day of the year and post it)? I've considered doing this with photography, and I'm certain it would further train my artistic eye, I just... haven't. I'm not really one to take pictures with my real camera unless I really desire to take a certain picture, I don't just trash it up with random things. I honestly should let myself do this though, I KNOW it would be beneficial as an artist.

Do you have a Flickr? If so, post the link. Yeah, it's Ozzkat on there, but I don't use it very much at all. It's a lower-priority art platform for me, I mainly focus on deviantART despite the fact I quite dislike the website now for how aggressively and unabashedly it endorses AI "art." I've just been there the longest and have the biggest following there by far, so...

Do you think it’s dumb when a band smashes their instruments, or do you find it totally radical? I honestly do find it dumb, like... why. Why destroy what is generally a great quality instrument if you're a band playing it on stage to an audience. If you want a new guitar or some shit, just donate or even SELL the damn thing, don't break and waste it.

Have you ever made a gif? If not, do you think it’d be interesting to make one? I've made many over the years for various purposes, yeah. I tend to go through episodes of making them and then not.

When you feel uninspired, do you feel like you need to go somewhere to become inspired? Not really, actually. I tend to become inspired by observing others' artwork and stuff. It is very much about the content I surround myself with.

Have you ever lived on a university campus? No.

Do you play any games on your phone? Only Pokemon GO. I would like to be able to play more, but my phone is trash with VERY limited memory, I've had to delete plenty of things just to keep that one game updated and therefore playable, lol.

Have you ever shaved your face? Yes, there's this tool I use that's not quite a razor, it's a vibrating tube thing that looks almost like a lipstick case, but I use it on my upper lip, chin, and I've started to use it between my eyebrows too.

What was the last vaccination you got? It was a tetanus vaccine refresher, I think?

Who’s your favorite rapper? And your favorite song by this favorite rapper? Eminem, and probably "Love the Way You Lie," I was OBSESSED with that song when it was new. I also like "Space Bound" a lot, though.

How about your favorite band? And your favorite song by this band? Oh fuck. For Ozzy it's proooobably "Trap Door," but I'm also very much adoring of "See You on the Other Side" (actually listened to it today) and "Mama I'm Comin' Home." The Rammstein song I enjoy the most in terms of catchiness/most often in the mood to listen to is "Zick Zack," however I consider my ultimate favorite by them to be "Stein um Stein" because it's a fucking artistic storytelling masterpiece imo.

Has anyone ever made a promise to you that they’d change? Who? Juan probably did at some point in high school.

Have you ever had any painful dental work done? If so, what? Oh yes, I wasn't afraid of the dentist until recent times when I was finally paying for neglecting my teeth due to depression and I now realize also executive dysfunction issues later in the timeline. I had a lot of cavities, a few that were quite severe, and fixing one required me to get a numbing shot THROUGH THE ROOF OF MY FUCKING MOUTH, like I could FEEL the needle go through and deep into my fucking gums, and it was my worst EVER experience with a needle, that shit HURT. I'm finally getting better with taking care of them, thank fuck; I think seeing how severe the consequences were becoming really kicked my ass into gear. It doesn't matter if I hate my body, it's my responsibility and I'm going to do all I can to make it better and comfortable to live in. I also had braces for a large chunk of growing up, and getting them tightened always commenced a very painful few days afterwards for all of my teeth. I recently had a wisdom tooth yanked out, and while the numbing shots did suck, they definitely used an adequate amount of it 'cuz I sure didn't feel anything other than pressure. I only got scared when the tooth broke, the sound made me jump.

Is there anyone you’d like to apologize to? Jason. I doubt I'll ever get the chance, but god do I wish I could express how sorry I am to his face. I also want to apologize to Sara for how I severed our friendship, I should have been more direct (I had my honest reasons for thinking it was better not to be so confrontational, but I know now that I was wrong in that part), but I know it's better that I don't stir up settled dust. It's better for both of us that we just don't have contact with each other. Like yes, I think it would help me to just get my apology off my chest, but when you consider I don't seek reconciliation with her whatsoever, it'd be a pointless amount of possible upset.

Could you go a month without talking to your best friend? HELL NO, we're dating and serious with each other so even going a day without some amount of contact is out of the question for us. A month without talking to him would be MISERABLE.

How has your style changed since you were in high school? Well back then I was your average emo kid, still pretty emo at heart but a bitch is wearing comfortable shit these days, lol.

What was the last new drink you discovered that was delicious? Strawberry banana smoothies.

What is your favorite way your hair has ever looked? Probably how it is now, but when it was newly dyed a seaweed-y green.

Have you ever had a teacher that also taught your parents? No, neither of my parents grew up in NC. Well actually, during my last college attempt I DID have an English teacher that previously taught my mother like a semester prior; she got her degree only a few years ago.

Where’s the nearest GameStop near you? Shit bro, probably not even three minutes. It's in the same complex where our Wal-Mart is.

What was the last thing you took a video of? Probably either Roman or Cookie being silly.

What’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? Overdosing on cold medicine.

Do you believe your ex cares about you? No. Maybe he does, but I'm not so sure about that.

What was the last compliment you received from the opposite sex? Girt said something about me being a positive influence, which meant a lot.

Have you ever been to an orchard? No, but I'd REALLY like to.

Who was the last family member of yours that died? My maternal grandmother, that I know of.

What is your favorite color for cars? Pinks, of course. I am also a big lover of burnt orange cars.

Do you have any gay family members? I know I have at least one on Mom's side, it's like her distant cousin or something, I'm not entirely sure on what he is to her.

Did your last relationship end because of you or the other person? She instigated the breakup, so her.

Would you be upset if you caught your boyfriend looking at porn? No, I know I'm an extreme minority that gets zero enjoyment out of porn. I'd only be bothered if my partner seemed more into watching that than doing things with me, his actual girlfriend. I don't know or care if this is something he does when I'm not around, and if he does okay cool, I don't feel like I'm actually competing with a porn star or whatever. I suppose maybe this would depend on who my partner IS too, like I deeply trust Girt and what he feels for me so the idea of him watching it does nothing to me. It's not like he'd actually pursue his favorite porn star or whatever.

Have you ever had crabs, turtles, or lobsters? I've had a few hermit crabs in my life and very briefly a turtle that I shouldn't have even had.

What is your favorite type of cat? Oriental shorthairs!!!!!!! I REALLY want one of these one day.

What if a friend asked you to go with her to get an abortion? I'm walking in there right beside her and holding her hand if she's fine with it. She will have NO doubts that she is loved and supported.

Who of the opposite sex has seen you at your worst? Either Jason or Girt, depending. The night of the breakup when Jason very briefly came over to check on me because of shit I said, I was FUCK-ING HYSTERICAL, but Girt came to the ER following my suicide attempt because I tagged him as someone I directly wanted to say thanks and bye to, and I feel like that was truly my lowest point ever in life, in that hospital bed with an IV in me wearing scrubs. I was ready to die and was so done with existence, I was dirty and hideous and crying but he stayed for a while anyway.

Are you sitting in a spinning chair? Yes.

Are you one of those people who will not use a public washroom? I definitely avoid them if I can, but I'm more comfortable going depending on how well-kept the place is. For example, I'm WAY more comfortable using the restroom in like The Cheesecake Factory versus a gas station, haha. If I gotta go though, I gotta go, I just do the thing where you place toilet paper over the seat.

Have your parents ever disapproved of the person you’re dating? Like, the person I'm CURRENTLY dating, or any partner I've ever had? Either way I think no; I know they've always approved of Girt, but I suppose Dad might have not been thrilled about me dating a girl once, but I really have no idea what exactly he felt. As it turned out Mom didn't like Sara either, but it had nothing to do with her being another woman, she was fine with me dating a girl.

Were you raised by someone other than your parents? No.

What’s the last chore you did? Vacuumed.

What is your favorite jungle animal? Very close call between tigers and clouded leopards. I'm also quite fond of kinkajous!

Is your father injured? He has a bad back and has for a very long time, but I don't think he has any noteworthy, current true "injuries."

Are you part Native American? No.

What are your pets’ names? Roman, Venus, and Cookie.

Have you ever worked two jobs? No, I can pretty fucking much GUARANTEE I would never be able to do that.

Who is the oldest sibling in your family? Katie.

What are some of your happy thoughts? Being with Girt, a hopeful happy and content future together, the idea of being a successful photographer who gets to travel a good amount, having a poetry book published, be surrounded by well-provided-for and loved pets one day... just a lot of visions of the future I want.

What are the names of all the dogs you’ve ever owned? Trigger, Angel, Teddy, Dale, Delilah, Harley (maybe? I can't remember if she only stayed with Ashley?), Cali, Bentley, I think her name was Lola (we had her very briefly), and now Cookie. Maybe one more in there somewhere, I feel like Mom's mentioned a dog's name that I don't remember at all before.

Would you ever get a face tattoo? I'd NEVER get a big one, but I'm doubtful I'll even get a tiny one. I'm quite sure I don't want any on my face.

How much was the rent/mortgage at the cheapest place you’ve ever lived? I have no way of knowing that because I've never been involved in the finances of anywhere I've lived.

Who in life have you felt the strongest need to protect? Uhhhh... that's hard? There are multiple people who come to mind, all in different sorta ways, but I SUPPOSE the absolute strongest would ultimately be for my older sister's three kids. I would fucking kill for them, with ZERO hesitation.

What is the cruelest thing a person has ever said to you? I really, really enjoyed being called a spineless, weak-willed deadweight that exaggerates her trauma, that was super cool.

Who do you think was the worst criminal in history? Probably Adolf Hitler, but idk. There have been many sick people, but Hitler definitely left the biggest impact with I'm assuming the largest casualty numbers in his name.

Which laws would you most like to change? Abortion needs to be a GLOBAL right, heightened gun control is FUCKING mandatory, LGBTQ+ rights should be a guarantee everywhere under the sun, capitalism should fucking burn to the ground, and I know there are SO many more, I'm just drawing a blank atm while knowing I'm missing very obvious shit.

Who is the person you most wanted to have an affair with but didn’t? I can confidently say I've never wanted that.

Who have you most feared in your life? My dad.

What is your strongest reason for your opinion on abortion? The being that already has a novel's worth of thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires, and memories comes WAAAAAAY fucking before the developing cells that have none of those. Full fucking stop.

What one natural thing would you most like to see? Aurora borealis.

[homelandercollection]

Oh my god I love everything about this but my heart is SHATTERING over the idea of Homelander not understanding how to play cuz I feel like it's so in character for him. Like, playing to him just means "nicely" manipulating. Or enjoying himself at the expense of others.

I'm having a whole conniption over this because I watched like two documentaries on how pretty much ALL animals play, whether it be a social species or not. Even reptiles and fish and shit. And they instinctually know how, it's only self control during play that they learn through experience (through playing in and of itself, might I add). There are explanations that it's to prepare for behaviors needed in adulthood, to learn social skills, and simply because a curious creature discovers new things and thus evolves (none of which explain all play behaviors), but one thing is known for sure and that is that play is an INTEGRAL part of being a healthy individual, both psychologically and physically. And that's because individuals that don't play...? The cause is trauma, or neglect, or various issues with the brain like mental illness and/or a plethora of disorders. Everyone plays different, but everyone plays, unless there is something bad going on there. And Homelander DEFINITELY has something bad going on there. A lack of play means not properly getting to learn, and possibly later on, a of lack of: social skills, self discipline, empathy, altruism, communication-- I could go on. And WHO does that sound like????

Please pardon my autistic ramblings but I am very passionate about Homelander being an absolute creature of a person 😭 When so many hallmarks of "humanity" is stripped away what does that leave you?? A very horrible, very sexy man...apparently.

I hope I'm not bothering you. Please feel free to ignore this!

But imagine a reader who loves to play video games. They're just paying attention to the game and not giving their full attention to Homelander - and that just pisses him off so much. Like our fave dilf is jealous and has absolute beef with Animal Crossing lmfaooo 💀 He fucking despises those cute little animals on the screen and does not understand why you'd rather play this when you can give all your attention to someone as amazing as him. Idk I love the thought of Homelander being clueless on why you're so damn obsessed with a game.

it definitely is bewildering to him. why are you playing in a simulation! why are you doing pretend manual labor! is the crushing grip of capitalism so strong you have to devote your free time to the fantasy of it???

the sadder perspective here is that Homelander just doesn't really understand play very well. he's like one of those lab animals that, even long after they're rescued, don't know what to do with a toy.

i think he'd like Mario Party, though. it would just turn him into a monster.

How long have you been vegan for? Nice page

Thank you,

I have been vegan since May 2015.

This year that will be for 8 years now.

Before going vegan I’ve been on and off vegetarian, having no answers to how I should live or eat. I remember still eating fish, as a teenager, because my family was concerned about my nutrients, I never liked the taste and texture of meat anyway. I didn’t want to know what animal the meat came from, I couldn’t chew knowing someone had died for this. Something psychologically in me knew already this was wrong. Adults like doctors and parents were indoctrinated to believe meat was necessary for optimal human health. And at that time the internet was not the same as today. We didn’t have much knowledge spread as much as now. When someone at school told me: still eating fish does not make you a vegetarian, I knew she was right. So I stopped eating all animals right away. I cared about animals and I wanted to label myself a vegetarian. Something felt wrong about being untrue or hypocrite. I never hated people for telling me the truth. I don’t understand people who do that, unfortunately are the most common. Years later, at the age of 24 I met a vegan guy who cooked a plant-based dinner for me and I asked him a few questions about honey and I realized I knew nothing about food, I didn’t know how it’s made and I should really look into this. I admired him for his conviction and I also spoke about him to my few friends and they were immediately biased and told me he was weird. He has no idea I would be vegan shorty after meeting him. Those friends also left me shorty after. One night I watched a speech video form Gary Yourofsky. ‘The best speech you’ll ever hear’ on YouTube. And that really was the breakthrough for me. Unlike other reducetarians, I cut off everything immediately in one night. I knew I needed to know my vitamins, my nutrients and really stay away from all animal protein. It’s only been hard at first to be vegan around social situations. Every time I went out, I had to take nuts and fruits with me, because vegan options were almost non-existing at that time. I made it work, because I knew this was good for me, for the animals, for the environment, for everyone. And right when I stopped eating anything containing milk or eggs, I immediately felt more energized and even lost a few pounds (being overweight that was ok). I felt good and I looked good and I told people it was because I went vegan. I’m not vegan for health reasons, but I am disgusted by anything non-vegan now. I wouldn’t eat anything that isn’t vegan for any money of the world. It feels very filthy to put the product of misery and death into my body. I can’t even touch wool or smell leather without feeling sick to my stomach. I know what goes into that. I’ve seen documentaries like ‘earthlings’ and dominion’. You don’t have to, if that’s too horrific for you, but ask yourself this: if it’s not good for my eyes, why would it be good for my stomach? Staying away from violence has made me a peace seeker. I eliminate what cultivates violence and I speak up against injustice. Although I’m not a tough-looking person, I don’t scream out loud that meat is murder, but I find my own ways to make it clear that this is wrong.

I’m glad people enjoy my blog. I had no idea I would gain so many followers. I really made this blog for my own collection of memes and information about veganism. I used to put these on my personal Facebook but I quickly ran out of friends who cared and family started to get annoyed by the many graphic content or the many requests to go vegan now. So I didn’t want to throw away everything I accumulated. I wanted to have a place to find quickly a meme to respond. By the search bar in this blog, it is possible to took up ‘meat’ or ‘eggs’ or ‘bacon’ or ‘canines’ or ‘plant feel pain’ as a respond to a non-vegan harassing you with vegan questions. I needed a place to have these memes ready. And because I’ve be been managing this blog on my own, it hasn’t been consistent with posting, but I almost never post something twice. Because I know exactly what I’ve already seen and what I’ve already shared here. I don’t want to shove veganism in everyone’s face. Unlike what it seems in this blog, in real life, people don’t even know I’m vegan until we eat together.

10 for the hug prompts with JonMartin? 🥺

touches prompt list

10 - hiding their face in the other’s neck

a no-fears au where jon and martin are in an established relationship! cw for nausea and a brief mention of vomiting (doesn't actually occur)

.

Jon doesn’t do roller coasters.

It is not, despite what Tim says when he thinks Jon isn’t listening, because he’s a, quote, ‘old man at heart’ and doesn’t know how to have fun. In theory, Jon is actually rather fond of roller coasters. He’d watched a documentary once about the design of them, and it had been rather fascinating.

It’s not because Jon doesn’t like roller coasters. It’s…

Well. It’s probably more accurate to say that roller coasters don’t like him. Specifically, his sense of equilibrium and his digestive system. Pills help somewhat, if he remembers to take them, but the fact of the matter is that he’s much more likely to leave the ride with a feeling of intense nausea than of exhilaration. He just… gets motion sick. No way around it. He always sits in the front seat of cars, ensures that he’s in a forward-facing train seat at all times, rarely travels by boat, and… avoids roller coasters.

The fact that he is currently standing in the queue for a particularly large and particularly frightening-looking roller coaster is not, therefore, due to his overwhelming love for them. It is instead entirely due to his overwhelming love for the man standing next to him, eyes bright and excited as he explains the history of this particular roller coaster. His hand is warm and soft in Jon’s, and their clasped hands swing absently back and forth as they slowly inch forward in the queue. His curls are a shock of auburn against the sky, and when he laughs and squeezes Jon’s hand, Jon forgets his anxiety entirely for a moment, lost in a wave of affection and fondness.

“—and because it’s the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ride,” Martin says with a wide grin, “it’ll be running backward today! Well, all season, I- I suppose, but we’re here today, so…”

Jon has never been on a roller coaster that’s traveled backward. It does… not sound appealing.

“That’s… very exciting,” Jon says with a smile, trying to make the words sound as genuine as possible. Because he is a coward. Or, perhaps, just very in love. Maybe both.

It’s just… Martin had been so excited when he’d dropped the amusement park tickets in front of Jon a few weeks ago. And in the four months or so that they’ve been dating, Jon has found it increasingly hard to say things that will cause that wide, unabashed smile on Martin’s face to dim even in the slightest. So Jon had discretely taken several motion sickness pills before they’d left that morning and had told himself that there were plenty of other things to do at an amusement park besides roller coasters and spinning rides and other things that make it their personal mission to tie Jon’s stomach into knots.

And then Martin had spent the entire train ride rambling about the various roller coasters and how he’d always wanted to go to an amusement park but he’d never been able to find the time or the money before and how he’s never been on a roller coaster but they look so fun, and Jon just… hadn’t been able to tell him.

It’ll be fine, he tells himself as they finally reach the front of the queue, the brightly colored cars sitting empty in front of them. It’ll be… completely, totally fine. Nothing to worry about.

They sit a few rows from the front. The click of the restraints makes Jon’s stomach squeeze with nerves, and he swallows around the lump in his throat. He doesn’t realize that he’s gripping the bar in front of him with white knuckles until Martin says gently, “Hey. Is… everything okay?”

No, but it’s certainly too late to change my mind now, Jon does not say.

“Yes,” Jon says, loosening his grip with considerable effort. It’s fine. “Just… b-been a while since I was on one of these.”

Technically not a lie.

“Oh!” Martin gives him a soft smile that makes his heart stutter in his chest. “Well, it’ll be a… new experience for both of us then, I suppose.”

The car jerks into motion, and Jon’s hands tighten instinctively on the bar again. It’s a… disconcerting effect, to be moving backward rather than forward, and one that Jon is decidedly not fond of. They exit the staging area and begin to climb up the first of the many, many hills Jon had eyed warily from their place in the queue. Jon looks straight ahead and does not look down and tries to breathe through his nose.

A warm hand covers his, and Jon looks over to see Martin watching him, that same soft smile on his lips. Martin squeezes gently, and Jon relaxes, just a fraction.

Then, the car tips over the peak of the hill and begins to accelerate, and Jon’s world blurs into a mess of colors and sensations.

The only part of the ride that Jon enjoys is the fact that it’s over quickly. By the time the car rolls to a halt—after a terrifying sequence of loops and drops and harsh curves and tight spirals—Jon feels as if his insides have been scooped out, stuffed in a washing machine, tumble dried, and then pushed back into him at all the wrong angles. Martin’s hand is still gripping his, somehow, and it remains there as they exit the car and make their way down the ramp and into the main thoroughfare. Jon’s legs feel boneless, like they’re made of jelly, and he is deeply afraid that if he opens his mouth, he is going to empty the contents of his stomach onto the pavement below.

Gentle hands are on Jon’s shoulders then, and Jon finds himself guided onto a metal bench just a few meters away from the exit ramp. Jon tries to protest that he’s fine—they have limited time here and he doesn’t need to take a break—but his stomach rolls and he pinches his lips shut before he manages to form a single word. When a hand settles on his upper back and presses down gently, he finally gives in to the urge to bend over and tuck his head between his knees in an effort to alleviate some of the lingering vertigo.

“Breathe, Jon,” Martin says, and Jon does. He takes a few deep breaths, and when a particularly powerful wave of nausea overtakes him, he can’t help the groan that escapes him. “I know,” Martin says softly, moving his hand in soothing circles on Jon’s back. “Just keep breathing, Jon. We can get some water in a bit, just… for now, let’s sit.”

Jon is too nauseous to be properly embarrassed by the coddling. That situation changes quickly as the minutes pass and Jon’s stomach begins to settle. After what must be nearly ten minutes, the nausea has faded entirely, but Jon keeps his head between his knees so he doesn’t have to look at Martin’s face.

“Feeling any better?” Martin prompts, and Jon lets out a slow breath. He nods once, and—with the help of Martin’s hand on his arm—straightens slowly, keeping his eyes fixed firmly on the ground as he does so.

“Sorry,” he says, so quietly he isn’t sure Martin can hear him over the din of the crowd.

“You don’t have to apologize for- for feeling sick,” Martin says. He rubs a thumb against Jon’s arm and says, “Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I- I didn’t think… it would be this bad?”

Out of the corner of his eye, Jon sees Martin give him a look that very clearly expresses his skepticism.

Jon sighs and puts his head in his hands again. “I just… didn’t want to disappoint you, I suppose.”

Martin is, of course, sharper than Jon gives him credit for sometimes. “Because I said I’d never had the chance to go on a roller coaster before?”

Jon nods miserably. “I-in my defense, I thought you would start with something significantly less… gravity-defying.”

“Jon,” Martin says, kindly and patiently yet with a chastising edge to it. “You could have waited by the exit.”

“I—I didn’t…” Jon feels the tips of his ears grow warm. “I didn’t want to leave you.”

“Oh,” Martin says, his voice pitched a touch higher than normal. “That’s… um, r-really sweet, actually.”

Jon is glad that Martin can’t see his face because he’s sure whatever expression would have crossed it just then would have been utterly sappy and mortifying.

“B-but I—I don’t want you to make yourself sick on my account,” Martin hastens to say. “There are loads of other things to do here. W-we don’t have to ride the roller coasters.”

Jon uncovers his face and looks at Martin. “But you want to ride the roller coasters.”

Martin worries his bottom lip between his teeth. He doesn’t deny it. Instead, he says, “I… also want to spend time with you, Jon. D-doing things we both want to do, not… not just me.”

Jon stares at Martin and thinks, not for the first time, that he loves him. But it’s still too early to say it, probably, and he’s certainly not going to do so sitting on a sticky metal bench surrounded by children and tired-eyed parents. So all he says, in the end, is, “If… if you’re sure.”

Martin takes Jon’s hand in his and squeezes gently. “I am.” Then, he gives Jon a wide, soft smile that has Jon’s stomach twisting all over again. “So. What do you do at amusement parks, then?”

Jon flushes. But Martin doesn’t laugh at him when he mumbles that he’s actually quite fond of carousels. Instead, he takes Jon’s hand and walks with him across the park—staying away from the more crowded sections, stopping to buy some horrendously overpriced bottles of water on their way—until they’re standing in front of the carousel, painted in lovely pastel blues and yellows.

Jon, for a moment, feels self-conscious and more than a bit childish. But then Martin squeezes his hand and says, without a hint of teasing, “So, what animal do you prefer?” and the tension in Jon’s shoulders melts away in an instant.

Jon learns that Martin likes the classic horses, manes painted gold and plastic saddles a bright cherry red. (And Martin is entirely unsurprised to find that Jon chooses the cat, every time.) He learns, as they continue to explore the amusement park, that Martin likes caramel apples but hates how they get stuck in his teeth. (He purchases one anyway, rolled in peanuts and little rainbow sprinkles, that gives Jon a toothache just looking at it.) He learns that Martin does not appreciate his explanation that the monsters on the haunted house ride are ‘just dummies’ and ‘obviously fake’ and ‘really, Martin, that’s not even the correct number of bones in a human skeleton.’ (Though he secretly treasures the way that Martin clings to his side in the car and hides his face in Jon’s neck, his curls tickling the sensitive skin just underneath Jon’s chin.)

And Martin, apparently, learns that Jon is strangely good at midway games.

“You know those things are totally rigged, right?” Martin says, staring at Jon in disbelief as he tries and fails to adjust his grip on the frankly enormous plush teddy bear the midway worker had begrudgingly surrendered to him. And the medium-sized plush cat he’d won earlier. And the dozen or so little plushies and trinkets and accessories he’d acquired along the way. “You’re not supposed to be able to win.”

“Yes, well.” Jon gives up on trying to find a comfortable way to carry his prizes and extends the massive teddy toward Martin. “I suppose I’m just… lucky.”

He is certainly not going to admit that he spent a good three days researching what to do on a carnival date, came to the conclusion that it would be romantic to win an enormous stuffed animal for Martin, and committed himself to memorizing which games were easiest to win and what strategies he should employ in order to have the best chance at success. That would be… well. A bit much, he thinks. Best to just… not mention it.

Martin carries the teddy all the way back to his flat, his cheeks flushing a lovely pink whenever an occasional curious glance is thrown in their direction. It’s only once they get there and Martin tries to pass the plushie back to Jon with a sheepish, “Suppose I better give this back now,” that Jon realizes he had… indeed not been very clear about his intentions.

“It’s… for you, actually,” Jon says, ignoring the way his cheeks are growing steadily warmer. Then, Jon takes a breath and pushes the rest of the plushies rather unceremoniously into Martin’s arms, save for the cat which he’s… grown rather attached to in their short acquaintanceship. “Th-they all are. Er. F-for you.”

“O-oh.” Martin looks down at the collection of brightly colored things in his arms, eyes wide and lips slightly parted. “I—I… really?”

Jon hugs the cat tightly to his chest, feeling something like embarrassment curl in his stomach. “I-if you don’t want them, I—I can—”

“No!” Martin says quickly, curling his arms protectively around the plushies. “I—I do. W-want them.” He looks down at the teddy sitting by his feet, then up at Jon with a warm, shy smile on his face. “Th-thanks, Jon.”

I love him, I love him, I love him.

Jon nods, pinches his lips together, and tries to keep his affection contained. He doesn’t want to come on too strong, after all. That’s… something he’s not meant to do, he thinks.

Then, when they’re both lying in bed and Martin’s chest is pressed against Jon’s back, his arm curled around Jon’s middle and his nose buried in Jon’s hair, Martin murmurs, “I love you,” and Jon’s breath catches in his throat.

“I… I love you too,” he whispers. And it’s such an easy thing to say that Jon wonders why he’d ever worried at all.

Martin makes a sleepy, contented noise, burrowing closer and wrapping Jon more tightly in his arms. And because he can—he can, he can, Martin said it first, so he can—Jon says again, so quietly he isn’t sure Martin can hear it: “I love you.”

The words are sweet on his tongue, like candy floss and funnel cakes and caramel apples.

Headcanon: Izuku is into DIY.

Hot Take: Izuku would create a long furby. He has a collection of various eldritch creepy long furbies. Katsuki absolutely refuses to go into his room because of them. He would've exploded them by now but that would make Izuku cry.

Other CursedTM Things that Izuku does that makes Katsuki die inside and that Katsuki tries to hide from the rest of Class 1-A:

He's a part of the Vulture Culture community and collects roadkill and dead animals to turn into bones.

He has a collection of shitty All Might hawaiian shirts.

He has a collection of stuffed animals. They all have names ripped from Lovecraft such as "Yawgsathoth" and "Mother of Pus"

He writes fanfiction of the heroes.

He has a giant worm on a string plush, and his room is also decorated with Worms on Strings (you have no idea how much Katsuki had to bribe him not to add worms on strings to his uniform blazer)

He does have a plague doctor mask and will regularly just go out in a cloak and his mask

He cosplays exclusively female heroes, and crossdresses the worst dresses

He basically does art makeup, on his face and the face of Katsuki

"Hey what are you reading?" "Oh, this book on how to cook frogs."

He will eat anything. Including stuff that is on the ground. He has an iron stomach.

The actual reason Izuku hangs up All Might everywhere (it used to be a mix of all heroes) is because once in middle school Katsuki accused him of being straight, so he put him up everywhere and continued the habit, Katsuki hates his room now

- Goblin Anon (otherwise known as Goblin anon projects everything she does or wants to do onto her fav)

HI GOBLIN!!! GENUINELY SCREAMED AT THIS AU BECAUSE WTF

even i would not want to enter the beloved’s (izuku’s) room because of his shit.

i’ve searched up long furbys and i am, simply put, traumatized. i had a collection of furbys when i was a kid but we had to give them away because there’s too much of them. but long furbys? i am very much scared.

there’d be a picture of a long furby under the cut, and i’m genuinely terrified of the fucker.

also, can i just say that izuku writing fanfictions is the least cursed thing that he does? because like, reading the rest is like looking at that picture where you can’t decipher a single thing because, again, wtf izuku.

but they’re also funnier? creepier? because i can genuinely see izuku doing those dhekdoowks

✄┈┈┈

this shit would probably be snaking around the frames of izuku’s door. or he probably has one at the corner of his wall, the one that meets with the ceiling, and when a visitor looks up, they’re greeted by the sight of this centipede looking furby that has additional four eyes that izuku lovingly and carefully sewn on. it’s so nightmarish :’)

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

the vulture culture part started when they were young. his interest started when he saw a documentary on how to pin butterflies and he was like, “you know what? thats actually something i want to do!” but! BUT!! he cannot catch a butterfly, thus he settled for mounting dragonflies which he collected in the nearby stream (where katsuki fell).

fun fact about mounting dragonflies: they lose colours when they’re dead. you can use acetone to not only help preserve its colours, but also to stop its decay. they decay so quickly, it’s terrible.

anyways, izuku does not know that and instead followed a youtube video of how to mount dragonflies, using an old picture frame as the case.

inko comes home, sees his son doing his stuff and is just happy that izuku’s not rewatching that loud all might video. she helps him pin the other wings and they are fascinated at how pretty they look. well, the next day, the wings are now transparent and the belly side of the dragonflies are black. it also stinks so they had to throw the whole thing plus the case.

izuku’s fascination grows from there.

a failed experiment, after all, instigates the desire to right them.

so that’s where he starts: butterflies, moths, beetles, another dragonfly case.

katsuki is fascinated and disgusted because, “why would you want dead insects in your room, deku?”

the rest began when the bakugou’s and the midoriya’s have road trips. inko doesn’t have a car so the bakugou’s drive along with them, and it’s a good day. the kids are having fun and getting along, and the parents are chilling and enjoying their vacation. life is good.

then on their drive home, izuku, who is sitting sandwiched between katsuki and inko, lets out this blood-curdling scream. it wakes katsuki up and almost had masaru swerving the car out of the highway.

“maru-san (because my boy izuku cannot say masaru) can you please stop the car! i wanna get that!” he screams, pointing at something indecipherable by the side of the roads.

masaru does anyways because it’s so rare for izuku to request something, but also his heart’s still pumping so fast after izuku’s scream.

masaru wasn’t even done stopping the engine when the car doors are opening, and katsuki and izuku are tumbling out, hand-in-hand. masaru and inko follow them closely, while mitsuki stayed to watch over the car.

katsuki’s excited for an adventure, but then izuku just. stops them. in front of a skull.

masaru chokes from behind them and katsuki lets go of izuku’s hand so fast, running back to his dad because, again, “deku what the shit?”

izuku ignores him and gestures at the deer skull, one that has moss growing by the teeth and around the jaw, turning to inko to ask, “mama? can we bring that home?”

masaru feels very faint, but doesn’t say anything when inko easily agrees, laughing at her boy and patting his untameable hair as if your child asking you for a carcass’s skull is normal.

inko picks it up and they go back to the car. mitsuki does a double-take on what inko’s holding, but shushes up when she saw izuku bouncing happily. katsuki hesitantly sits beside izuku, but when izuku began yammering about all might, he forgets about the skull and nerds out with izuku.

inko explains to mitsuki and masaru about her son’s newfound interest, telling them that it’d go away in two years, don’t worry.

it didn’t. instead, his interest and his collection grew. so for his subsequent birthdays, along with hero merch, he has vulture culture collections gifted to him.

when he moved to the dorms, they’re more packaged than his hero merch and katsuki wants to get angry because he’s been looking for those limited hero merch and yet there they are, chilling beside izuku’s many many skulls and bones.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

IZUKU STARTED COLLECTING THE ALL MIGHT HAWAIIAN SHIRTS WHEN HE WAS TWELVE

he ransacked for the very first edition, often saving his allowance just so he can buy the retro versions of the all might hawaiian shirts. sometimes he’d barter, but that’s only when he’s really desperate for the shirts. usually he’d just be in an auction site and buy just those.

he’d take katsuki with him and katsuki is very careful in what to buy, often researching the things and having a very long pros and cons list to narrow down what he’d buy, then his best bud izuku just out there buying all might hawaiian shirts.

funniest thing too is that those are the first to go because they? don’t value much? and they’re ugly, tbh, and yet izuku’s slurping them all up.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

the first time class 1a were talking about plushies, izuku dropped the names and they’re confused because-

“bro did you name your plushies with lovecraft names?” OR “bro? do you perhaps have personalized lovecraft toys?”

it’s the earlier one but izuku would want to buy personalized lovecraft monster toys.

ok but? he names them as per the appropriate lovecraft characters? like:

a purple octopus plushie is called azathoth.

a green gecko plushie is called bokrug.

a fish plushie (literally nemo) is called dagon instead of nemo.

a pink jellyfish plushie is mother of pus.

he has other plushies that have normal names (well, as normal as naming a plushie “cheese grater”), but he has a collection of specific plushies that align with lovecraft beings.

he writes all might x reader fanfictions, i’m sorry ;v;

he only writes them because he doesn’t want other heroes with all might, but also the reader pairing gets more views than all might with other heroes.

katsuki caught him writing a slowburn, enemies to lovers all might x reader fanfic and proceeded to proofread it for him.

synopsis of the fanfiction: reader is a villain with a sound quirk (tailored to present mic’s quirk) and all might met them in a hero gala where the reader pretended to be a worker so that they could infiltrate the gala’s holder’s office for a specific banking access that is linked to the world’s bank. all might manages to sniff them out and proceeds to fight them, but when a beam is about to hit the reader, all might swoops in and saves them. cue the reader developing unwanted feelings for their greatest foe, all might.

aND THEN!!! all might knows the reader outside of their villain persona and is actually very much taken by them. so it’s a painful surprise that the reader is a villain. but he is willing to save them.

it is still incomplete despite having 102 chapters. by chapter 78, katsuki asked for payment because shit was too long and too angsty.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

HEISOSL IZUKU HAS A WORM ON A STRING DOOR CURTAIN

he genuinely likes them but creating the door curtain kind of extinguished that interest because that’s just too much worms and too much strings for a single curtain, and it was very much tiring.

he has a tiny one stitched on his blazer and inko heaved this really big sigh when she saw that her son’s crisp UA uniform got a worm by the chest pocket.

aizawa eyed it once and was so close to expelling izuku just because of that.

shouto, when they became friends, sends a box of them to izuku because he thought that those are izuku’s favourite. katsuki had not stopped cackling when he saw the huge box of them.

to punish katsuki, he made a furby with worm hair and left it by katsuki’s door. katsuki’s scream woke everyone up.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

the moment he walked out with a plague mask, tokoyami was exiting his dorm room too and they made a long eye contact.

tokoyami does not know if he is amazed by izuku’s plague mask or he is terrified because why does it look authentic.

for halloween, he was a plague doctor.

he stowed them away after saving eri.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

his first women hero cosplay was in third grade when they had a play about different heroes. the girl who was playing ragdoll got sick and everyone’s already strapped in as their hero and unwilling to change. izuku, himself, is present mic (katsuki’s all might).

the girls don’t want to give up their heroes and izuku, the bestest boy, goes and says he will become ragdoll.

their teacher agrees and helps him strap in as ragdoll and you know what, izuku loves it.

from then on, he tries to cosplay as much women heroes that he can afford. inko loves helping him and katsuki thinks he is adorable but! dont tell deku!!!

OK BUT he wore the dress that broke the internet once and katsuki almost exploded the dress off him. almost because izuku dodged and warned him that if he ever breaks that dress, katsuki will have to pay (either monetary or revenge, katsuki doesn’t know so he behaved).

FOR HALLOWEEN, HE WORE THIS AND KATSUKI HATES IT

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

izuku painting star freckles on his face!!!! or heart freckles!!!! or flowers!!!!

izuku in fairy makeup, pleaseee!

he also loves giving katsuki his own freckles because something about blonde hair and red eyes with pale cheeks kissed by freckles is making izuku gay panic.

izuku putting concealer on his own freckles once and his classmates are looking at him weirdly, wondering why he looks off?

like he still looks amazing, but something’s missing. it’s fucking them up and katsuki isn’t helping them so they’re trying to piece what’s up.

it takes monoma sneering at izuku and asking where his eight freckles are that 1a realizes why he looks different.

ok but denki asking monoma why he knows how much freckles izuku has and monoma spluttering, bright red and embarrassed, until he just walks away.

(answer: he’s crushing on green bean).

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

IZUKU HAVING A COLLECTION OF LIKE ARCHAIC? BREWING? STUFF? BOOKS.

i dont know how to explain it but my friend has this specific book about poisons, detailing recipes and ingredients.

it also talks about the use of frogs, lizards, snakes. the benefits of different flowers (ones with toxins) and how to use them during tea time.

it’s bizarre but the book looks pretty so i think izuku would have a handful of those in his room.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

izuku eating grass? flowers? trying dandelions and complaining that it’s furry

izuku wandering what a twig tastes like so he just sucks on it like a lollipop.

inko gave up on stopping him because her son would just eat anything but his broccolis, and she’s very much tired of thinking if izuku would have an upset stomach. he never had.

first time mitsuki saw izuku do that, she forced him to drink cola and eat candy to cleanse his palette.

katsuki goads him on eating more.

izuku’s favourite is chewing on maple leaves. he’s just a weird boy.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

OK BUT THE FINAL ONE ABOUT HIS ALL MIGHT POSTERS?? I HAVENT STOPPED LAUGHINGF

izuku wanting more all might figurines than posters. he only has some chemistry stuff (periodic table) on his wall, a little tapestry that matches inko’s, a canvas of monet’s water lilies (again, matching inko), and some cosmic facts that he bought online.

and yk katsuki sees those and thinks that it’s so weird that izuku has those posters but not all might?

his first thought was, “he doesn’t like all might as much as i do.”

the following one is, “he’s straight so he doesn’t want a guy’s face on his wall.”

katsuki’s mouth so happens to say the second one and the next week he visited izuku’s room again, each surface of the wall that is not taken by pinned insects and his frog-book stuff, plus his other existing non-hero posters, is covered in just all might posters.

he belatedly realizes that his own face is also on izuku’s wall, but that’s for later musings because for now he’s jealous that izuku managed to scourge the limited all might posters, but also is disgusted a bit because that’s too much all might.

katsuki walks out before his interest in all might plummets.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

ps to my beloved: ﹤୨♡୧﹥

GOBLIN I LOVE YOUR AUS ALL THE TIME AND IM SORRY FOR RESPONDING SO LATE! YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE AND I LOVE U!!!! you’re genuinely so precious pls dont stop your ramblings!!!!

[greeksorceress]

Omg I love your Outsiders headcanons! I looked in the tags and I would love for you to tell us more! (if you want to no pressure whatsoever!)

omg hello! thank you so so so much, honey! 💕 this made me smile so much! I wasn't expecting anyone to be interested in my headcanons! I am so happy you liked them! and yes of course, I will share more with you right in this moment <3

I don't know if you had any of the boys in mind or if you just wanted more general headcanons so I will add a few more about all of them!

Darry

He loves coffee, a lot. He also enjoys tea, specially if it's black tea, but coffee is his favorite drink to go. He loves black coffee too, mostly because he prefers bitter tastes to sweet ones, but will pretty much drink anything that is made of coffee. Except most of the Starbucks drinks that Soda enjoys, which are "pure sugar and no coffee" in Darry's words.

He loves Star Wars. His most precious possession is an Obi-Wan Kenobi figure his dad gifted him for his 11th birthday. He still keeps it in a safe place. He has seen every new generation Star Wars movie in theaters right in the night of the premier. He takes Ponyboy with him and they spend their way back home discussing everything about it.

Has a tattoo on his ribcage. It might look like a series of random numbers because there is no separation amongst all the digits, but they're actually the birthdates of all the Curtis family members.

Two-Bit

Has gone to various open mic nights to listen to new future comedians and tends to drag Johnny and Ponyboy with him. The rest of the boys are always supporting him and encouraging him to participate. He hasn't tried yet but he knows he will one day.

Gets very excited when a new animation movie premiers. He loves watching documentaries about the animation's making off and pays a lot of attention to the details. One of his favorite animated movies so far has been Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

He has the ability to fall asleep anywhere and once he fell asleep in a Target. Darry and Sodapop spent two hours looking for him and almost had a heart attack.

Steve

Uses Twitch a lot. He usually watches other people stream but sometimes, when he's in the mood, he streams his own content. At first, the only views he received came from Soda, Dally and Pony but with time he got a few nice hundreds following him.

He has almost all the types of driving licenses that exist. He can even drive a bus if he wants. He dreams with learning how to fly a plane one day.

Has many tattoos and one of them matches with Soda. It's a Stick-and-Poke tattoo and they got it secretly when they were fifteen. The work wasn't very good and it looks half-chipped, but Steve always looks at the little Cadillac line art on his hip and smiles.

Sodapop

Can dance, like, really dance. He's not very into the whole disco and party scene but he used to watch movies and imitate the dances at home. He was so good and liked it so much that his parent had to sign him up for some urban dance lessons. He used to want to be just like the Step Up characters (and he still wants to, but is too embarrassed to admit it.)

Has a playlist for everything. Driving? He has one. Jogging? He has one. Sleeping? He has one. Cooking? He has one. Showering? He has six. Sneaking inside the school at night with Steve and Dally to cover all the corridors with toilet paper? Well...

Thought that Santa Claus was real for the longest time ever. When he learned about the truth, he made it his personal mission to protect Pony's childhood and give him the chance to believe in Santa for longer, going as far as pretending to be Santa Claus in more than one phone call (Pony never had the heart to tell him that he found out about Santa even before Sodapop did).

Dally

Is terrible with presents. He never knows what to give the other person and gets frustrated too easily while shopping, so he always ends up asking for the Amazon wishlist and buying something random from there.

He tries his best, though, and has many ways of showing how much he cares without actually saying that. For example, whenever someone is sad or upset, he always sends them a little "u good?" and various memes. Sometimes, when he's specially worried about Johnny and his home situation, he calls him and stays on the phone until he makes sure Johnny is safe and sleeping peacefully.

He's an iPhone guy and an Apple lover. He hates himself for this, but he cannot help himself. He doesn't have a good relationship with his parents and they don't care much about what he does, so he loves getting the latest Apple products and charging the costs to his father's credit card.

Johnny

Loves vintage clothes a lot! Half of his wardrobe are pieces he has found in vintage stores that he tends to visit with Dally or Pony.

Another part of his wardrobe consists of clothing articles that the rest of the boys have given to him. He's everyone's favorite and the ultimate little brother of the group, so the rest of the boys always tend to give him clothes that they used to wear when they were smaller, just like real brothers would do. They know Johnny loves the sentiment behind this and it's one of the ways they can show him how important he is. Johnny takes care of every single thing they give him.

He loves photography. He saved up money for a long time and managed to get himself a Canon EOS 400D and takes it everywhere. He loves taking picture of the nature and making portraits of people. The boys are his favorite subject, and even though Pony (and occasionally Two-Bit) is the most willing and participative model, nobody can actually tell him no when he asks to take pictures of them. The group chat picture they have been using for years was one of the first pictures Johnny took of them.

Ponyboy

Write essays for fun and loves participating in writing contests. He has won a few of them and some of his poems and writings have been published in various webpages or amateur literature magazines. No matter how small they are, he always dedicates his works to the boys.

Knows about Soda and Steve's matching tattoos and wants to get one with Johnny too. He's a bit scared of needles, but gets very excited about the idea and spends hours trying to design the perfect tattoo for them.

Soda likes teasing him and calling him e-boy because of the way he dresses, and Pony is not actually mad at the idea. He loves wearing bucket hats and black cargo pants and chains. He's crazy about sneakers and shoes too, from Converse to Nike Air Force 1 to Vans, but his favorite pair of shoes are some black Dr. Martens that he found in a thrift store once with Johnny.

So, here it is! I hope you like these too! <3 I have even more but I didn't want to make it too long or too boring! adsgsdkd I'm always here to talk about headcanons and if you have any in particular that you want to ask about, shoot it! Also, I'm all ears if you want to share yours with me!

Thank you so much for your lovely ask <3333

[1ndulgences]

hello! i’m writing this in assumption that your match-ups are still open^^ feel free to delete this if they aren’t!!

> just to say it, in case it matters. i identify as female and my pronouns are she/her. i’m bisexual :)

i’ll start this off by saying i absolutely adore animals (especially cats). i literally fall asleep to animal documentaries. two of my favorite past-times are reading and writing. i have shelves of books and so so many pages of little poems and stories i write on my computer. i practice witchcraft, though i wouldn’t necessarily say that i am wiccan. i love crystals and herbs. i enjoy playing video games too.

i’m very shy and quiet around people i’m unfamiliar with due to my anxiety, so it’s difficult for me to open up and pursue friendships. because of this, i’m in my head a lot and i tend to day dream. i’m drawn to aesthetics and i like things with deep meanings. i tend over-analyze a lot of things— whether it’s a song, a story, or something someone says. i’m incredibly sensitive to my surroundings so i can easily read people. i’m a very good listener and i adore it when a person tells me about themselves or their day. generally, i’m very protective of the people i spend time with. i enjoy lightly teasing people but i can get quite bashful when the tables are turned. i get so embarrassed that it’s embarrassing… i love praise and will actively seek it, whether it’s showing someone a poem i’ve just written or a high score i’ve gotten on my favorite game. i’m really sensitive to other’s criticism though, and i can take things deep unless i know that it’s light-hearted or jokes. i like to use big words to make myself appear more intelligent and mature. i cannot stand scary things (DOLLS…) or insects, especially butterflies and bees.

AHH IM SORRY IF THIS IS A LOT i hope this isn’t too overwhelming for you!! if it is, feel free to delete! no hard feelings. regardless, i’m glad to see your blog getting more recognition 🫶 you deserve it

- 🍂

it is not too overwhelming, do not worry—! you gave me much to work with, and i hope i can deliver properly.....! thank you for your kind words and support, dear leafynon....~!

this may be a tad obvious of an answer, but i believe your perfect match would be.....

natsume is drawn in by your quiet nature, but you exude such a mysterious aura that he can't ignore. he is enamoured by you, and how you analyze the world around you so easily. at first, he simply wants to know more about you. someone like you must be hiding something, to be so soft spoken yet so in tune with everything around you. he wants to understand you. he needs to.

being natsume, of course, this means he tends to tease you. he quickly falls for the way you react to his words. whether it be how you perk up at his affirming words, or how you flush when his words poke at you. but do not misunderstand him — he deeply enjoys the long talks you both have, together observing the world and speaking in hushed voices when in class.

as protective as you can be, natsume takes things a step further. brewing potions, casting minor spells, watching your every move for his chance to save you... he makes sure that you are safe no matter what. all of this, and he claims you only to be a friend. a good magician never reveals his secret, hm? you would be used against him or endangered if he let the world knew of his feelings for you. but that certainly does not mean he will relinquish you to anyone else.

he may not be the best at video games, but he has learned a bit from sora. he loves to play with you, because he loves to see how happy you get when beating a level. sometimes, he likes to pretend that he does not ynderstand how to play, just to have you lean closer to explain the controls. or he will throw matches of competitive games so you can win, just so he can see you smile. you are smart, and if you catch onto his act, he will feign ignorance and tease you for being 'insecure', since clearly you are just so good at this game. do not doubt yourself in front of him, okay? he will simply will not accept it! if you do not catch onto the play, he will simply continue to do so since it makes you so happy when you win.

natsume has fallen for you, and he is a stubborn creature of jealousy. if he fears his aloof and playful nature has driven a wedge between you both, he is not above mixing together a strong love potion to bring you back into his arms. if you are hopelessly in love with him, then it would be okay for him to be more open with his own affections... in fact, he may not even wait to do such a thing. after all, that protective necklace he made you... there is an awful lot of rose quartz on it, isn't there?

you are his darling now, and he will never let you go!

[tabbyclaw]

I did warn you all that I was going to post my exchange letter here. Under the cut so it’s not interrupting those who aren’t interested.

(note: As with all of my fanfiction and AO3 activities, I’m signed up under ‘hematitebadger.’)

Hello, assigned creator or person who is considering creating for me! Thank you for reading this; I look forward to seeing what you make and I hope you enjoy making it. This is the first exchange I've done in many years, and thus the first exchange letter I've written in many years, so forgive me if it's a bit unpolished and feel free to ask for clarification if I've been hazy or left unanswered questions. General Likes: humorous stories, happy endings, casual physical affection between friends/family members, banter, unexpectedly romantic moments, imitation of canon style (but don't feel like it's required!), low-stakes/personally important adventures, "what if [canon event] had happened differently?" AUs, character exploration, mutual pining. First and third POV both welcome. I signed up specifically for fanfic, but I am open to treats in any medium! DNWs: porn (implied/referenced sex is fine, but no detailed on-screen sex), unrequested non-canon pairings, non-canon character death, tragic/bleak endings, mundane/modern/setting change AUs, non-canon severe illness/injury (canon-typical comedic, non-permanent injuries in comedy canons are fine), animal harm. Fandom-specific The Murderbot Diaries This is one of those canons where I really like the narrative voice, so stories that imitate that are always appreciated. I love how prickly Murderbot is, and the way it expresses itself when it's being emotional and trying to pretend it's not, and the way it gets annoyed at how much it cares about the people around it. I would love to see something with Murderbot settling in on Preservation, and the survey team trying (with varying degrees of success) to help it acclimate and feel included. Maybe something about the documentary, as well? If you're writing about Murderbot and ART, possibly something about Murderbot going on extended missions with ART and its crew, and the little adjustments to their relationship that come from interacting while having other people around for an extended period of time. My prompts for this fandom are less specific than most of the others, but it's not because I'm any less interested in it! I just love these people in a very broad and general way and want to see more of them interacting with each other. Miraculous Ladybug PLEASE NOTE THAT AS I WRITE THIS I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF SEASON 5 YET AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CATCH UP BY THE TIME THE SIGNUP PERIOD ENDS. I know a little about what's happened so far, because this is the internet and spoilers are inevitable, but it's a vague knowledge and I've been avoiding leaks about the series bible and episodes that haven't yet aired, so I'm writing these prompts without taking any of what I think I know about the new season into account. As is probably clear from my requests, the complicated dynamics of the Agreste household are my favorite part of the show. All the adults involved have done terrible things but I love them dearly (including Emilie, if you choose to include her), and so I'm hoping for a "flawed but sympathetic" portrayal of them. I would love to see what the household and the people in it were like before canon, the kind of parent Gabriel was as Adrien was growing up and there was someone else there to act as a buffer between them, and I'd like to see him trying to be better at it. I would also be interested in a scenario in which they have to work together in their Miraculous identities, and the tension that arises from both their adversarial relationship and from the things they're saying to each other unwittingly hitting home a little harder than expected. For Gabriel and Nathalie I would be equally happy with &, /, or something that blurs the line between the two. Once again I'd love to see a pre-canon story showing the evolution of their relationship over time, and its translation into the working relationship between Hawkmoth and Mayura. For a more shippy route for these two I'm less interested in an established relationship than I am in sexual tension, pining (mutual or otherwise), and/or an emerging relationship. What was the moment when Nathalie realized she was in too deep, and what will it take for Gabriel to have his own realization? And when are they going to notice the other person's feelings, as well? I would also be interested to see an exploration of how this interacts with their secret identities, where maybe it feels "safer" to flirt as Hawkmoth and Mayura and they're more willing to take risks and cross lines. And while I would hope for something hopeful for these two and I don't want one of them to unilaterally reject the other, I wouldn't consider a mutual acceptance that they can't act on their feelings because of the complicated situation they're in to be a violation of my 'tragic endings' DNW. Megamind Roxanne and Megamind were already pretty flirty in their first interaction in the movie! I'd be interested to see a pre-canon take on that, with the two of them gradually getting bolder and more flirtatious in their interactions as Megamind starts to develop an interest in Roxanne and Roxanne realizes that a) Megamind is basically harmless and b) it's really fun to push his buttons. Possibly even an exploration of what they would have been like if "Bernard" had never happened, and if they would have ever gotten to an 'openly interested in each other' stage on their own. Alternately, post-canon it would be fun to see the two of them learning to live in each other's worlds, with Roxanne helping Megamind get used to being around people and interacting with the public like just another citizen, and Roxanne getting used to being with someone who approaches romance with the same level of drama and spectacle that he approaches villainy. Even when they're in conflict in the movie there's a level of familiarity and sincerity between them that I love, and that's what I'd love to see reflected in a fic. Oxventure These incredibly silly people and the incredibly silly ways they solve their problems while still being lovable and sincere and that special mix of antagonistic and caring towards one another. I would be equally happy with a canon-style problem or mystery they need to solve, or just all of them having some down time and bothering each other. Maybe something goes wrong with the dragon eggs and one or more hatches early, and these people who should not be trusted with anything are now responsible for a baby dragon for a while. Or maybe the less murder-y members of the Guild decide it's finally time to have some kind of intervention with an unrepentant Merilwen regarding her various crimes. For Prudence/Corazon specifically I love them being terrible people who are trying very hard to pretend not to care and failing at it. Anything that involves accidentally realizing and/or revealing their feelings for each other would be great, but specifically I think these two would be perfect for a fake dating plot (as part of a plan that made sense at the time? To piss off Corazon's dad?) that gets more real than either of them ever intended it to. BBC Ghosts I love how sweet and ridiculous this show and its characters are, and it's one of those canons where my prompts are more like "Really, I just want to see more of them, whatever it is they're doing." Alison trying to come up with some new kind of enrichment for the ghosts, both for their sakes and so they'll give her a little more time alone and not bother the guests. Mike doing his best to keep them happy while Alison is out of the house for a couple days (with Julian attempting to communicate their needs via the laptop keyboard and other small gestures), or maybe temporarily gaining some ability to perceive them and trying to rearrange his perceptions of them now that he knows a little bit more. I also think it would be fun to see Alison try to use the ghosts as an excuse to lie to Mike to get out of something she doesn't want to do, but that's entirely because I want to see it backfire on her in some ridiculous way. I have never in my life known how to end a letter gracefully, regardless of the context, so I'll just end this one by thanking you for reading it again. I hope your exchange experience is awesome.
