#i cherish the friends and mutuals i've made along the way

[yansurnummu]

happy 10 years of subjecting tesblr to my presence :)

[applejongho]

hi jonghomies ❤️ it's with a weary heart that i'd like to announce that I'll be closing this account for gif making (not leaving completely, please read on 😅). I started gif making in 2021 and the support, love, community, and fun I've experienced since then has been totally unrivaled. But all good things come to an end, don't they? 🥲 I'll give you some reasons for this change as well as some other info.

why?

for a multitude of reasons, the main one being I'm not into ateez as much as I once was. I do love them a lot, but these past few months I've grown distant from them for no particular reason. That's just the ebb and flow of fandom, I guess. I don't have enough energy or spirit to maintain an entire fandom account for them like I once did. Another reason is that kpop in general has become more toxic (for me); having to delete twitter was really a wakeup call for realizing my feelings about the overall industry. A third smaller reason is that tumblr isn't rly what it used to be, especially in terms of gif makers. The community used to be so vibrant and fun. I know that me "retiring" won't help the situation but I alone can't "save" atinyblr nor should I have to "bear the weight" for the sake of keeping the giffing community alive.

what's next?

I don't plan on abandoning this account! I adore my mutuals and friends I've made along the way and I'd like to cherish them. I'll probably still even reblog ateez, honestly, but only when I want to. I'll likely just keep doing what I'm doing but the only difference is I'm detaching myself from the label of ateez gif maker and I'll redesign this account's look (pinned post, pfp, banner, url, etc) to be less ateez centered. Feel free to keep using my tracking tag for ateez content, though i my not rb it (just because idk how active i'll be).

will you ever gif for ateez again?

who knows! maybe a new cb will drag me back into the pits of hell (affectionate), but maybe not.

if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. I know I didn't need to write a post for something like this, but I felt like I should've with all the genuine work and love I've poured into this community. Every interaction, ask, tag, whatever -- I appreciated all of them, and I truly adored being your apple lady. this isnt a goodbye, just a change of scenes. thanks for the memories and i love u all ❤️🫶

A other ask from the possum,holy shit

You said you had a list of headcanons for cyil x pac...

I'm curious...

What hc do thee have...

Oh buckle up, hun :-)

It is a bit long, so click below at your own risk xD

Sometimes the Pac-team do patrols around the city to keep citizens at ease, and these patrols are often done in pairs. Whenever Pac and Cyli are out on patrol, they always keep a vigilant eye out. But they've started a thing where, at the end of their patrol, they wrap things up with an ice cream date.

Cyli is usually calm and collected, but whenever she's stressed or really nervous, then she tends to hold onto her arm or even absentmindedly fiddles and fidgets with her fingers to the point of rubbing them raw if she doesn't snap out of it. These subtle movements usually go unnoticed, until Pac started picking up on them. Cue him stepping in to hold her hands and divert her attention away from whatever is stressing her out.

To return the favour, Cyli will often pull Pac out of a stressful or anxious haze by taking him out to dance with her in the rain. She's a nature baby, of course she's going to rope him into one of her favourite methods to kill stress :)

Pac often brings Cyli a new type of invention or puzzle because she likes to solve things, whereas Cyli often brings him little exotic snacks or foods that he's never tasted before. It's their way of saying, "Hey, I know you like this thing, and it made me think of you, so I brought it along to see you go feral over it :>"

It wasn't as evident in the show, but I'd like to think that Pac and Cyli are academic rivals. They both seem to do well in school, and Pac even says he's gonna try and beat her A+ grades with his own in "That Smarts." So I hc that two of them often study together...while teasing and trash-talking each other in between.

Following up on that, the two will also often engage in friendly banter on other matters...

"Don't say it. Don't you DARE-" "So what'cha say, Cat-Man, are those ears only good for hearing long distances?" "They're not ears, Cyli, for puck's sake they're my eyebrows!"

Pac is a nerd when it comes to History. Cyli is a nerd when it comes to, well, a lot of things. Give these two a book or something of a shared interest, and you've got them talking and nerding out over the given subject for hours.

One time, Cyli lost her glasses and had to wait a week for a new pair to arrive, and during that time she had to deal with the frustrations that came with vision impairment (squinting, tripping over things, mistaking people's faces, etc.) But one thing that's helped her out is to keep her eyes on Pac...since he's the only Yellow Orb in a sea of blurry colours, he's her beacon to go to whenever she has a hard time looking for her friends.

Cyli knew that Pac had developed feelings for her long before he actually confessed. He didn't hide it very well... XD But the feeling was mutual for her. She just wanted to hear him say it first, in a similar fashion to the way she wanted to hear his apology outright at the end of the "All You Can Eat" episode. The memory of this goofy yellow boy turning into a blushing and stuttering mess while trying to confess his feelings is one that she'll always cherish :3

I've got a few more hc's other than these, but some of them I'm keeping a secret for now ;)

I hope it's okay when I ramble here a bit. If not, just delete the message.

I got mutuals that aren't so active. They only show up a few days before vanishing for weeks or months. But I cherish them as much as the one that are always here.

A few weeks ago I made a drawing to send it with a few words to one of my mutuals that I haven't heard of for months. Giving them encouraging and honest words. Making sure they know I'm always here for them, that I see them as a friend no matter how much time passed or how long we didn't wrote each other. They were there for me, they wrote the most comments under my posts and reblogged thing with the most motivating tags. We never talked much but we still saw each other as friends. I care for them and they for me.

And yesterday they responded in such a gentle way, I cried. I learned over the years to harden myself against such things, but the answer and to know they're okay and still there just moved my heart so much. I was happy to hear from them again. They will create a new blog here to begin anew, to get a second chance. They say to tell me when there back with a new blog, but even when they would forget it over the time: I will always hold them close to my heart.

And that's something I want to continue and wish we could see here more again! Mutuals writing small little messages to their moots, even when they vanish for a long time. Small gestures like a comment or a mention of a post they saw and reminded of them. Or a simple Hi in the DMs. Giving them a sign that is always okay to come to us to talk, that we're not angry or annoyed of them, that they don't need to apologise to take breaks no matter how inactive they were. Especially when they were gone for long. It's important, we all need such thing from time to time. We all need a little ray of sunshine from others.

I hope you have a good day, stay safe. And thanks for listening q(^-^q)

BAD TROUBLE! HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT WAY! (ﾉ｀Д´)ﾉ

With the amount of times I come into your ask box to ramble or vent, why would you think such things!?

And how dare you suggest such things!

Just delete the message, she says.

You know what's funny, is that I was just about to send a vent in your askbox before I saw that you sent me an ask. ( っ- ‸ – c)

Also, it's good to care about others even if they aren't around often.

It shows them that someone will always be around for them. :3

I wish I could say that I have friends like that.

I've never held a relationship with someone for more than a year or two.

When I was younger, I was hard to get along with; and I got kicked out of school often, so the few friends I did make, I couldn't keep because I had to move schools.

Now, I just tend to keep to myself.

I'm a bit shy around new people, and don't tend to talk unless talken to.

Once I've warmed up to you and I know you, it's very hard to shut me up.

But because I don't talk unless talken to when around new people, it makes it harder to make friends.

If I'm being honest, my only friends are here on Tumblr.

I have no real friends out in the wild.

I can't just call my friends and ask them to hang out with me.

Google likes to remind me that I have no friends. :(

Me: "what to do when bored"

Google: "Hang out with your friends."

Me: ... "what to do when bored and don't have any friends"

Google: ... "Read a book?"

Me: ... Damn. If only I didn't have a 3rd grade reading level. :/

TODAY IS @roleplay-abiogenesis2 LEVEL UP DAY.

i can tell you all about how saru and i became mutuals: we were mutually scared to follow each other, and it took a friend to force us to interact in the first place. and boy howdy, it was one of the best decisions we made with each other.

but i can't pinpoint when we became close. i think somewhere along the way, we realized how much we clicked and things went chaotic from there. saru's been one of the best friends and partners i could actually ask for. from shipping to plotting to just being stupid on both tumblr and discord, it's been one hell of a ride.

saru is an excellent rp partner! his grasp on cyno and even other muses has been top notch, and people are sorely missing out on how canon his cyno is. not only has saru done his character research, but he captures his voice so perfectly well. it's hard to NOT fall in love with the way cyno is written at saru's hand. this is ALSO true of all other muses saru picks up.

i've also seen saru write other genshin muses. i've seen his tighnari, i've seen his zhongli and even ei. saru is passionate about his writing, and does the work to make sure his portrayals are as accurate as possible. it's such a beautiful thing to witness, honestly.

but beyond roleplay, saru is a vastly loyal friend. our conversations aren't always centered around roleplay, he's someone i love playing games with. he's generous with his time, and is always there for you when you really just need a friend. be it gaming time, or working through problems together, or even just gushing about genshin impact and shipping and everything that we're all made of. i enjoy all the times i'm able to spend with him, and i cherish each moment. he's one of those people that you keep around for life, honestly.

if you haven't interacted with saru yet, you're missing out! he's one of my best friends, his writing is top notch, and he's just such a sweet gem of a prize overall. please go wish him a happy birthday!

saru i love you, you're my cynotwinnie (even if i put cyno on the backburner for now!) and you've been one of the bestest i could've asked for. thank you for everything you've done for me and with me, and i hope i can repay the favor one day.

happy birthday!

My Eras Tour Concert experience!! (7/28/23)

Let's start at the beginning! Immediately after we got through the gates, people approached my friend and I about trading bracelets! (We also gave bracelets to the parking lot attendants!!) The energy was so fun! On our walk from the parking lot, and the entire time we were in the stadium, I was complimenting people's outfits. Everyone looked gorgeous!!! I have never seen so much glitter and sequins!!! It was so cute!! Btw the first bracelet that someone chose to take from me was "Three Sad Virgins" lol.

We walked around the stadium for like an hour. We talked to quite a few people, and traded several bracelets. We met up with one of my dad's former co-workers too! She was super sweet, and I gave her a bracelet. We went to the Capital One booth to do the Taylor elevator video thing, and it turned out really cute!! It's posted on my Instagram if any mutuals want to see. Since we were walking around and stuff, we ended up not watching the openers. It wasn't a horrible loss for us, because none of us were familiar with their music.

We were shocked when we found our seats. Our view was incredible!! We were directly in front of the stage, and we were in the first row of our area. No one was in front of us. We literally could've sat through the whole thing and still would've had a perfect view. (That being said I stood the whole time lol.) I got so excited when I heard Misery Business and Immortals play btw!! I love that Taylor has Paramore and Fall Out Boy in her pre-show playlist! Also I hadn't seen the clock countdown before. The crowd energy was insane, and I was legit about to cry before she even came on stage.

I didn't cry when she came onto the stage, but I did scream a lot lol. As expected, it was super fun to sing along to Miss Americana and YNTCD. Also as expected, my dad sang along to YNTCD! He recorded lots of stuff for me throughout the concert too. Being able to yell "shade never made anybody less gay" was a great experience btw. I started crying during Lover, and I cried again during The Archer. I really wasn't sure which songs would make me cry, but I've got to say I didn't expect Lover lol.

Onto the Fearless era! That was my first time hearing the song Fearless! She didn't play it at my reputation tour concert. It was so much fun!!! I was jumping around and dancing through the whole era. I saw my dad singing along to YBWM! As excited as I was myself, I was also happy that my dad got to hear songs he was familiar with this time. I will always cherish the memory of doing heart hands with Taylor + everyone in the stadium.

You guys have no clue how loudly I screamed when I saw Haim come onto stage in their Bejeweled dresses!! I'm so obsessed with them! Hearing no body, no crime live was incredible. What surprised me most about this era was the fact that I sobbed through marjorie. (Very intense, ugly crying.) That song does make me cry often, but I failed to consider how hard it would hit live given I recently lost one of my grandmas. The song is a beautiful tribute, and I love that Taylor gets to honor her grandmother in such a special way. My dad hugged me through most of the song while I cried. champagne problems was exactly as cool live as I expected. The crowd energy was WILD!! I will always love the intensity in Taylor's eyes when she drops the f-bomb line lol. tolerate it live was also incredible. One of my favorite songs forever and ever!! Btw we cheered for over 3 and a half minutes after champagne problems. (That's a whole minute longer than night 2.)

I have no words for how hot reputation Taylor is. I ascended watching her. I can't believe I essentially got to see a second reputation era. I have the least to say here because I had already heard the songs from this era live, but I had so much fun dancing around and I am just so so gay.

Now for Speak Now!! I had entirely avoided spoilers of what the stage looked like for this era. I was in awe of how beautiful it was! I am so happy to have heard Enchanted live, and the fireworks were perfect!! (The fireworks were not part of the show, but still very cool. Levi Stadium is across a parking lot from Great America, so we experienced the amusement park's firework display during Speak Now and Red.) I cried again during Long Live! I thought I'd be safe since I heard it during the reputation era, but my love for Taylor got to me lol. I love her so much, and I am so glad she gets to be celebrated each weekend.

The transition into the Red era was fun! I hadn't seen anything about it online, so it was totally new to me. This is the era that I could tell my dad had the most fun in. He sang along to 3/4 songs. He didn't know the words to All Too Well, but he did record the entire song for me!! Also he sang the correct words to Trouble lol. This era was so fun to dance around during. I hadn't heard any songs from this era live previously, and my dad and I fueled each other's hype!

God the folklore era was amazing. I had so much fun screaming along to betty!! It's been one of my favorites since the album came out. My inner 2020 self was LIVING!! My jaw locked during illicit affairs, which really sucked, but beyond that it was a wonderful time during this era!! The stage setup was gorgeous!!!!!

Oh. My. God. The 1989 era!!!!!!!!! So damn fun!!! I was jumping around and dancing the whole time!!!! I don't have the words, but it was EVERYTHING!!!!! I was so hyped and also knew we were right around the corner from the surprise songs!!

The surprise songs were right where you left me and Castles Crumbling!! You guys don't understand how insane my friend and I went. We knew Aaron Dessner was at the show, and we jokingly were like "haha what if we get rwylm or peace". We had also been talking about those songs in the car prior to knowing Aaron was there, and my friend said that rwylm was one of her biggest hopes. (It was in my top 10 too!) So imagine how excited we were when Taylor brought Aaron on stage and the song started. We looked at each other, screamed, and hugged. It was such a good moment. Then after, we just had no clue what to expect from the next song. Taylor started playing the piano, and the crowd went silent. I screamed so loudly it hurt my throat when she sang the first line of Castles Crumbling. I had been intentionally avoiding speaking my surprise song hopes out loud, because I was scared of like jinxing it or something. It was everything to me to hear that song. I was completely not expecting it, but Taylor knew I'd go crazy for a Speak Now TV vault song and she delivered!!!! Those song choices were perfect. It was fun going on Twitter after the show and seeing all of the memes from people that weren't there. Usually I'm right there with them and Like everything, but I got to be like "yeah sorry I was actually there" lol. Btw now that the second night has happened, I'd just like to confirm that we won lol.

Last but not least, the Midnights era!!! So cool! Just so so cool! I made my dad record Vigilante Sh*t, because I was losing my goddamn mind. That was the sexiest thing I've seen in my life. Holy wow. No thoughts just gay. I was sad because I knew we were at the end of the show, but I was having too much fun to really think about it. Taylor is such a force. Her care for her fans is so evident, and I'm so grateful she broke curfew to be with us. My love for her is infinite, and I'm in awe that I got to see my favorite person irl for a second time.

Btw I got my favorite outfits for most of the eras, and I still can't get over that. I will never stop talking about this concert!!!! My dad is going to show me his videos on the TV today, and I'm looking forward to reliving everything!! Shoutout to the #1 Swiftie dad for taking so many photos and videos! I didn't take out my phone during the concert because he was totally on top of it all. He let me live in the moment, and I'm very appreciative. Also I know he recorded me a couple times, so I'm curious to see that footage lol.

Here's some photos that my dad sent me!!

[gaynessisintheair]

A new day has come. I woke up at 3 am. Rewatching the last part of the final episode of Amphibia. Where Anne was saying things about change. I've Wallowed and Pondered how good was the show was. And reflected on the last episode's lesson and moral given.

And now, I'm moving on and of course gained wisdom from the lessons I learned from Amphibia. But I will still stay in touch with the fandom!

To be honest, without the show, I couldn't have been the same person now. Now I know now what is the hardest thing to do. Is to let go, go far beyond from the line of comfortable zone, spread your wings to step forward, or hop and hop in your adventure.

All along the show tells us:

Have the Heart of empathy and responsibility.

Have the strength of never giving up and love to protect.

And Have the Wit of intelligence and humility.

The show's journey is over, but not for all of us! We still have an adventure to have! New friends, enemies, opportunities, obstacles and old ones. The things that we still hold on to.

And now it's 5 am, and I'm writing this one. Playing the last credit song of The hardest thing episode in repeat. One of the things I've cherished the most, is this show. Right now, I feel I can't move on. But eventually, I'll let go. I just need some time.

After all, the show teach us to change. Like what Matt Braly wants us to learn. Hopefully you guys can apply to the lesson!

I'd like to thank you to all of you! Matt and the crew, friends in this fandom, the hurt and growth, the artists who made fanarts and the incoming arts and tribute, the people who've liked and reblog my cringe posts /j, the people I've followed, the fanfics stories were made by incredible people, the mutuals I haven't talked, the love in the air!

... And of course, the show itself.

"Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realize we can't hold on to something forever. Sometimes we have to let it go, but all the things you let go. You'd be surprised what makes it way back to you."

- Anne Boonchuy, from the episode of The hardest thing.

Oh aren't we thankful and lucky to have this silly frog show?

[taki118]

Cause of the BBC Sherlock stuff I've been seeing I'd like remind people of Elementary

This may poke the proverbial fandom bear but I don't care this show deserved so much more love than it got.

This series is Seven season of quality detective content. Each epsiode delievers on a cool mystery with a statisfying conculsion, and overarching plots arcoss multiple episodes that again give good payoff. Look I'm a person who never really cares about spoilers BUT season one's twist is so perfectly executed that I can never bare talking about it until someone has experinced it already. Like im serious its so good.

Now detractors LOVE to point out two things

1: It takes place in New York they just had to americanise it

2: why is Watson a woman? Ugh they just want to sexualize her and take the gay away

So for 1 I get the frustration it was proabably a legal/financial thing that made them go with New York. But the writers 100% use this to their advantage. utilizing the setting as a sort of metaphor for Serlock as a person particulary in season 1 & 2. He's been thrusted into New York this is not his home and he sees it as simply a new place and a fresh start. But come season 2 when he does return to London he finds it different and no longer feels at ease there. He has grown he has changed and so has the world around him. I think the writers made the best out of the situation.

2: Yyyeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh no

like i get WHY people assume the reason to make John Watson Joan Watson was purely to hook the characters up, like i was suspicious too when I first saw the trailers cause damn the person in charge of that did a shit job. But so theres a reason why its Joan Watson and not John Watson. In behind the scenes stuff they straight up said that in doing research they notice Sherlock is a bit of a misogynist as he regards women rather lower having just a few exceptions to  his rule that woman are silly creatures controlled by emotions. SO the writers and producers thought “Well what if his work partner IS a woman?’ and like thats actually a good idea to shake up the Holmes/Watson dynamic. 

But also in all 7 seasons not once do Joan and Sherlock hook up. 

NOT ONCE. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS ENTIRELY PLANTONIC. 

LET ME REPEAT THAT AGAIN A MAN AND A WOMAN ON A CABLE SERIES WHO LIVE AND WORK TOGETHER ONLY LOVE EACH OTHER IN A PLATONIC SENSE AND NO ONE BATS AN EYE TO THAT.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW HUGE THAT IS?

Like Joan and Sherlock are family to each other yes earlier seasons is mostly Joan taking care and helping Sherlock but as time goes on they are far more equal. They have this great bond that’s just built on mutual trust and care and gives off the pair of siblings at times. (my favorite running gag is Sherlock finding new and creative ways to wake Watson up)

And can I say that Joan and Sherlock arent the only ones to say “I love you” in a platonic sense in this show? CAUSE THEY ARENT

This show just like shoves it in your face that strong platonic relationships are not only valid but something to be cherished and cared for just as much as romantic ones. That just being someone’s friend and being there for them when times are tough is enough and admirable. And im sorry but that shit gets me every time. 

Also also Joan Watson has her own arc of finding what it is she wants in this world along Sherlocks own arc. And its not finding a man and having a child, its finding what work she likes to do and balancing it with her personal life. 

And thats not even getting into the positive and well done addict recovery rep. Like they took the offhanded line that Sherlock uses opitates in the novels and said “Hey how would they effect a man like this?” Like they give such a good showcase on how really anyone can fall to addiction and just how hard it is to recover. It’s a long road and the show never lets you forgot that Sherlock could fall back and that he is not better than any other addict, that if it werent for the support network he has built the fall would be far worse.

Like god I havent even gotten into how this is the most emotionally vulnerable Sherlock and thats not treated as a negative like the show straight up says when he goes cold logic mode he’s worse as a person AND as a detective.

How they show the police force they work with to be just as important  as their work. 

Trans Ms. Hudson played by a trans woman, while shes not in a lot of eps she’s never made a joke of and treated as a desirable.

Autisitc person as a love interest who was not treated as a child. 

Joan wasnt the ONLY person who was adapted as a different gender. 

Going into the messiness of mental health and how hard finding care for it can be. 

The hackers who are hilarious

Sherlock and Joans network of specialists who have knowledge they dont

CLYDE THE TURTLE

Like just watch it its worth your time and will never make fun of you for engaging with the work.

[1/2] Hi~ May I pls have a matchup? I'm a ♏, ISFP, 5'0 fem w/ medium length dark hair & eyes. I like wearing sweaters/sweatpants a lot! I love to draw & sing especially! I'd sing softly to my s/o if we're close & alone together. I often take endless pics of the sunset bc it's so pretty! Tbh I'm a loner. I'm shy, quiet, awkward and I like my alone time. I'm friendly and good-willing towards others nonetheless! I've been told I have a positive aura. I'm more chill, silly & playful w/ family!

[2/2] I can joke around w/ them! I have a short temper but I forgive just as quickly. I can be hard on myself bc I feel it's necessary to improve. I'm an appreciative person so I'll say "thank you" like 1000 times lol! I highly value family & honesty! My ideal s/o is someone family-oriented, devoted, and genuine. Bonus points if they're funny too! I'd like someone who I can slowdance to soft, jazz music w/. My love language is Acts of Service! Tysm! Take your time, stay healthy & stay safe! ❤

✧ Thank you so much for requesting a matchup love. Tumblr is not letting me tag you so hopefully you’ll see this. 😔 I wish you well during this challenging time. Hope you keep safe as well! 😷

I’d match you with: . . .

➜ HOW YOU TWO FIRST MET ; Juza Hyodo is that typical cold guy in school that everyone is lowkey scared of. That’s how he seems from outside anyway. You were asked by your biology teacher to borrow the books for the class’s current lesson from the library on the spot so you took a beeline for the shelves as fast as you could. But for god’s sake all the books were placed at the topmost part of the science shelves. You stood there for a good minute while glaring at the books overhead. You knew you were damned for good since there were no chairs nearby that were available and the librarian was nowhere to be seen. You stomped you feet in annoyance until you felt a looming presence behind you. A tall one. When you turned around, you saw Juza grabbing the books at ease and handing it to you. You thanked him quietly which surprised him because you actually didn’t quiver with fear or panic in his presence??? and you genuinely thanked him?? It was not usual for him to hear someone express their gratitude towards him. Even the cashiers from sweet shops he’d like to visit secretly we’re scared of him for heaven’s sake. After murmuring a little “‘S nothing.” he walked away. And that was the end of it. Or so you thought. The second time you met the purple haired boy was in a cafe. You were patiently waiting in the line for this so called Peanut Butter Pound Cake S'mores. According to your friends, it was one of the best desserts the cafe ever had. To test that theory, you decided to check the dessert yourself. Everything was perfectly normal until a young teenage boy of average height with fluffy pink hair and light blue eyes bumped into you, spilling a little of his drink on you. Yes, I’m talking about Muku. Baby boy was so scared and flustered, he apologized to you multiple times like crazy. Luckily it wasn’t anything hot so you didn’t burn yourself. Giving the boy a soft smile, you said it was fine and he shouldn’t worry about it. But he is a kind-hearted and modest boy with the motto "doing one good deed each day" so of course he offered you to give some of the Chocolate-Caramel Sandwich Cookies he had ordered before to apologize properly. Normally you would’ve reject the offer but with the way he was looking at you, you couldn’t find the heart to do so. While waiting for your order together, you learned what the boy’s name was and that he came here with his cousin. When you heard that the first image that popped into your mind was a soft looking person just like him you. After you got your order, the two of you made your way towards their table. And with that, your previous thought was thrown out of the window just like that. There he was, one and only Juza Hyodo, the person who helped you in the library, was sitting in a chair, quietly munching on one of the many sweets in front of him. When Muku announced that he was back, his eyes shot up to him and then shifted towards you. Yeah, it was awkward. Nevertheless, you tried to offer the tall boy a smile, which he just nodded his head, cheeks tilted pink to get his sweet tooth exposed to someone from school. After you sat down, Muku began to explain how he accidentally bumped into you and spilled some of his drink on you. Juza got the picture and said nothing. Though, gradually he started to become more comfortable. Before you knew it, you befriend the young teenage boy with fluffy hair. You told Muku how you two first met, which he only exclaimed how cool his cousin was and how the scene was just like from a shoujo manga. So yeah, your friendship with Juza started that day and slowly but steadily developed into something more. You would see him at school and chat with him, give him snacks to eat together on the rooftop etc.

➜ PERSONALITY COMPATIBILITY ; Let me just start of by saying that you two are really similar in terms of personality. A loner who is shy, quiet, awkward, likes alone time yet still friendly and good-willing towards others? Yeah, you get to point. When you're dating someone who has almost identical personality traits as you, reading them becomes easier. Juza is honest and critical of himself but is more than willing to work hard on it to improve himself and so are you. You two motive each other become better versions of yourselves, constantly pushing forward hand in hand ad I think that’s a beautiful thing in a relationship. You two have the same values. He deeply values his comrades and family so he would love it whenever he saw you getting along with Muku or Kumon. He’s very protective of those he holds dear, so watching you interact with them and care for them as if they were your own family would make him fall for you even more. The same goes for him as well. He’ d try his utmost best to get along with your family. Physical affection is OUT the window in the first start of your guys' relationship though. And when you guys DO start attempting physical contact, he'd be so stiff. Baby boy really hasn’t had a lot of experience in regards to how to treat others with affection outside of his family. 🥺 but deep down, Juza has a soft side. He’s a bit shy with showing his affections, but he tries his utmost best to convey his love to you― one of them being if you ever needed him support with ANYTHING honestly, he’ll always make it known to you that you have his full support and that he’s always right beside you through everything.

➜ SHARED ACTIVITIES ; With an delinquent-like appearance that often gives people a "scary" impression of him, I feel like Juza would rather spend time inside rather than outside. For those with a serious sweet tooth, baking, especially with a lover has a double benefit: It engages the two of you in an activity you probably don't do often, and you get to enjoy something delicious afterward. You two make an especially decadent dessert when you're feeling ambitious, or simply break out a boxed mix if you're short on time — or baking skills. At first times, there is a lot of trial and error and you guys end up getting covered in flour and such, a cheeky smile present on your face. These are usually the times where you get to hear Juza’s rare laughs as he joined in your joy. Feeling too lazy to bake something? Have a candy tasting. Satisfying your sweet tooth is a foolproof way to survive. Stock up on different colors of Starbursts, Gummi Bears or Worms, Sour Straws, Hi-Chews, and whatever else you are craving— and then eat your way through the rainbow together. Bonus points if you’re lounging off your sugar coma with a movie on the couch afterwards, he doesn’t particularly mind what kind so it’s totally up to you which genre you want to watch. This one is technically not a date but sometimes you, Juza, Muku and Kumon play board games. Depending on how competitive you are, this idea can be a little dangerous. (looking at you monopoly.) But it’s always a blast to spend time with people you love and cherish.

➜ ZODIAC COMPATIBILITY ; Juza’s birthday is on September 27, which makes him a Libra. When Libra and Scorpio come together in a love match, they tend to make a very emotionally connected and mutually satisfying union. Though Scorpio is a brooder who can get lost in the confusing welter of their own emotions, Libra’s proclivity for balance and harmony helps keep Scorpio even. Scorpio can return the favor to Libra with their characteristic powers of focus, a trait that Libra usually lacks. These two are very compatible due to their similar needs in a love relationship: Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and Libra is happiest when in a well-balanced and intimate relationship, while Scorpio thrives on emotional and sexual intimacy with their mate. These two Signs can make a very loyal, close and satisfying partnership. What’s the best aspect of the Libra-Scorpio relationship? The power they find in unity. They can accomplish a lot, whether they come together for a cause in the business or romantic sphere. They are both winners and they won’t give up, making theirs a relationship that takes care of business.
