I made the mistake of reading the online samples of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and now I'm distressed because I can't get more.

Me watching Dangerous Romance Ep.7:
1. I'm excited! Who's excited? We'll finally know the aftermath of the kiss. I mean, after Kanghan explicitly told Sailom that all he feels for him is guilt, how would he explain the kiss??? 😤😤😤
2. Waaaaait, hold up. Is grandma sick??? Also, Sailom is back in Kang's house eating dinner with the family but the two still seems a whole lot of awkward with each other. 😶
3. Oh, so Kang and Sailom didn't get to talk? Dammit, Guy and Auto. Also, that's no fair, Kang - telling Sailom you don't want to see him with anybody else but still have not retracted the part that all you feel is guilt and pity for him.
4. I almost forgot that they have connected bedrooms via a shared bathroom. Oooh, the possibilities lol 😅😅😅
5. Kang: "Give it to me straight". Me: "He can't. He is gay/bi." 😂😂😂 Yeah, I'll see myself out 😅😅😅
6. I laughed when Kang asked if Sailom wants to be his boyfriend. I mean, really? Really? Just the previous episode you were ready to punch Sailom for breaking Pimfah's heart and has also broke his heart in the process. No apologies? No backsies?? WTF. 😭😤
7. It's awfully quiet back there that if I'm the car driver, I would be suspicious 😂😂😂 Also, look at Kang's smile when Sailom opened the (bathroom) door for him.
8. Okay, Kang being completely honest about his feeling for Sailom is 😭😭😭😭 but his way of flirting is 😅😅😅😅😅 .
Guys, I died laughing. I already ascended to heaven (or descended to hell, am not really fussy about these things lol)
9. On the bright side, having Kang as a boyfriend means Sailom (and his friends) will never be hangry as he kept buying food/feeding Sailom tasty treats lol
10. Oooh, so Kang decided to start gaining Sailom's friends' trust by bringing them food? What are Guy and Auto, alley cats??? Lol.
11. Oh no! Grandma, be well 😭😭😭 Why were you lifting heavy objects? You are rich! Call someone to do it for you next time 😭😭😭
(Sidenote: My Grandma did something similar. She went ahead and used a ladder to change a lightbulb in her house but the ladder collapse under her weight and she hit her hip. After that, her hip deteriorated as she did not go to a doctor because she didn't want to 'waste' money. She was never able to regain her ability to walk and had to use a wheelchair until she died.)
12. Lightning striking just as Saifah swearing that he will never manipulate Kang's grandma to buy him things is peak comedy 😂😂😂 Also, yeah I don't trust Saifah. No offence but he hasn't done anything (in this series) that paints him as trustworthy lol
13. I forgot that Sailom's fave dish is grilled fish and veggies. But how did Kang know? Lol. See, told you Kang is treating Sailom's friends like pets 😂😂😂 Ngl though, I would have eaten the snacks and still not trust Kang to pull a prank or two lol
14. Wait, did Pimfah really asked Kang or is that an excuse? Also did they tell Pimfah about what is happening them or did they just let her figure things out? 😑
15. I would ignore the fact that Kang raided Sailom's drawers (without asking, mind) to get that shirt, but focus on his relentless cheesy flirting in a public transportation lol
16. Another sidenote: I cannot believe, not even for a second, that Kang's noodle is NOT spicy. For better or for worse, authentic Thai food is almost always spicy even without the chilis. Lol. Also, not related to the plot or story, if it's available in your local Asian grocery and don't mind spicy food, try the MAMA and MAMA OK instant noodles (esp. the salted egg flavour).
17. Tbf, I don't think it is just the spicy noodles. I doubt Kang has any experience shopping in a crowded public market. I mean, as a kid, my mum also used to drag me to our country's Chinatown market (because that's where all the cheap goods are) to shop and hated every minute of it because of the crowd, the heat, and the smell of wet goods exposed under the hot sun.
18. Auto: "We are not down to earth. We are just dirt poor". Harsh, but extremely accurate lol
Also Auto: We don't mind that (Kang spending money on them). Throw it all you want. We're all for it. Throw it this way. Screw dignity! Keep throwing! Don't hold back! 😂😂😂😂
19. Kang's road to romance is a bit rocky. It's a given that Auto and (more specifically) Guy will have a difficult time trusting Kang after the bullying incident in the first episodes. However, Kang's friends are also bonafide a**holes, even without Kang's prompting. 😅
20. Where is my Guy and Nava ship??? I swear if GMMTV does this like they did TiwPor in MSP (as if an afterthought), I WILL RIOT. 😤😤😤
21. Wait a freaking minute. These are high school students. I'm not saying I was a saint at that age, but I drunk beer in the privacy of my friend's backyard lol. Pretty sure underage drinking in a public place like a bar is illegal even in Asia.
22. It turns out, Auto is the worst kind of drunk lol. Also, I believe Chimon when he said Sailom cannot dance. You'll understand if you have seen an episode of the School Rangers 😂😂😂😂
23. Uhm, Miss, stop grinding. He is gay. Lol.
24. I mean, alcohol is not the best relationship starter, but if it will set my GuyNava ship to sail, I will take it (as long as everything is consentual, ofc) 😅😅😅
25. See, it is illegal. But Auto, learn to run faster, gawd dammit. Also, what would happen to Kang? Will his father scold him? I highly doubt it since they have been painting the man as "doting" to the point that Kang cannot disappoint him because he does not expect anything great or good from Kang. However, this might ruin his political dreams, so we'll see.
26. The dad finally getting angry with Kang only because it can potentially ruin his election run is all kinds of messed up. 😑
27. At this point, Sailom has displaced Kang as the favourite grandson lol
28. Ugh, Saifah. What are you planning??? Don't ruin this for Sailom 😭😭😭���
29. Oof. The cheerleader outfits are cute. They look like Sailormoon's transformation outfit. 😍
30. Why are you flirting in front of everyone's salad, Kang? 😅😅😅 You have a game to play. Focus. 😆😆😆
31. I know people have been pointing out the similarities between this series and BBS. I guess the true test of acceptance is when your bff learns to play well together with your (not-yet) bf in a football match 😂😂😂
32. Kang being anxious that Guy (and Auto) will never like him for missing that goal is 😔😔😔 Also, I commend Guy (and Auto) for being so sharp, it hurts lol. Unlike some "friends" (looking at you, Wai) 🙄
Officially boyfriends!!! Will Kang ramp up his cheesy flirting? Also, Saifah being on Ms Ging's medical team CANNOT be a good thing. The man is not above stealing from patients. I can smell trouble.

For the writer ask - 13, 17, 27, 28, 36!
Hallo and thank you for the ask! I'll stick to my fanfics for answering these :)
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy? I always always struggle with sex scenes, they tend to not take too long, but are then followed by the most god awful amount of editing to try and make it at least vaguely sexy. Local aroace tries their best lol. Otherwise I don't think I struggle quite as much as that with much else?
27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why? I think it was probably Madam Yu from my MDZS fic series Just Say Yes. Every scene she was in was a trial for me to get my head around because the series was very much a 'fix-it everything you can' kinda deal, but I also didn't want to drastically change anyone's character, so she was a difficult line to walk. Mostly I avoided this by keeping her out of scenes when I could lol. I remember one or two people wanting a chapter from her POV and just, I would have died of frustration and the fic would have never been finished lol.
27. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why? I have to be honest, writing Xie Lian for Compass has probably been my fave. I feel like I just get him (whether this is true or non lol) and can just go when writing him.
36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice…what do you Know? So much random shit; working in a medical setting, working in a school setting, working in a retail/food service setting, illustration (traditional & digital), animation (2D & 3D), sports (springboard diving, soccer, skiing), music (esp. cello, bass guitar, singing, with group orchestra, choir, bands etc), D&D and board games, and cooking/baking. Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting, but oh well! I think only the music, art, and retail/food service topics have wormed their way into my writing thus far, I'm not much for a modern setting, so a lot of that doesn't tend to apply lol.
[from weird questions for writers ask meme]
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text. Well, let's go with Compass cause it's still in my brain, and the extras are still WIPs. So here's some random brain faff (under the cut):
- Hua Cheng scared the shit out of Xu Hao when he came back to town and cornered him like 'who the fuck is the new guy? name? age? occupation? appearance? birthday? tax file number? etc' and Xu Hao is just like, that's just Wujin he's just our lil guy now. i don't know shit. please blink. - Hua Cheng basically spent the month he was gone out of Ghost City after Zhongyuan having the worlds longest panic attack and sculpting the most frantic bunch of statues he could to prove to himself he still remembered how Xie Lian looked. This also stopped him destroying anything because he was Not Allowed to break them. Is why he got himself out of the city, because otherwise a few blocks were gonna go bye bye. - Dianshui remembers in very awful detail how she died but she will not ever fucking share that with anyone. - I already shared this with a commenter but re: the wine Xie Lian gives to Hua Cheng in Ch 4 (the one where he had worked for the winemaker for a while), there's so many bottles in the cellar because the winemaker is now a ghost now and still making the wine so Hua Cheng likes to buy them as the winemaker spoke kindly of Xie Lian. - The section where Xie Lian makes the drinks for Chunchun's ex was called "Evil Ratatouille" in my WIP doc for absolutely no good reason.

p100 masks and filters are. so fucking expensive wtf. I'm really lucky I can afford them at the moment but it's so fucked.
there are disposable masks that are cheaper and are allegedly better than n95s but they probably won't be as comfortable (or as effective) as a reusable one so :////// (oh yea buy 20x20x1 MERV 13 filters for ur box fans too if you can) you really don't want to get this stuff last minute/when the sun is already red.
so yea get whatever you can now esp if ur like. anywhere west of the rockies really but from what I've been reading so far abt the pnw um. most of WA is already august levels of dryness AND this is going to be the first el niño summer in years (el niño = hotter and drier for the pnw) so huge wildfires are guaranteed.
I mean. they pretty much are every year now but fr this summer is gonna be bad folks.

Ask games are fun, so how about 12, 13, 22 and 25?
12. The unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
-This one's hard mostly bc characters that are unpopular in DD are typically the ones in character limbo. I would say Kirsten McDuffie and Sam Chung for sure bc there's only a few of us that enjoy those characters and they weren't sentenced to m/cu hell so there's that. Kirsten is one of the best DD characters written. She's so silly and funny, also she's legit what m/cu KP fans want from her like go read comics for once. Sam is also really fun but his character and storyline got fleshed out sm throughout vol 5 and I rec reading his arc. Other candidates would be Shroud, Milla Donovan, Willie Lincoln, and Tagak, who are all disabled characters. Despite Willie and Tagak being in character limbo, they're both blind characters with one of them (Willie) being friends with Matt and Foggy at one point and even helped them plenty of times in vol 1. Funny how DD writers just abandon other blind characters bc they don't want Matt to have disabled friends huh really makes you think...
13. Worst blorbofication
-Matt Murdock, the Moon Knight system, and Jason Todd for a FACT
22. Your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
-I'll do a double answer for two pieces of media:
For DD: I feel like not a lot of dd comic fans talk about how Matt disguised himself a lot. And I mean A LOT. Both when hes Matt Murdock and as Daredevil. Homeboy was literally the Spy from tf2 it was so good I wish they bring that back.
For DMC: We need to talk about the dmc anime more esp at the end of episode 2 where Dante was very much flirting with the biker dude, Vincent, at the end. The tone, the bet he placed (if I win, you buy me dinner), why did he say it like that 🤨📸
25. Common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
- I can't really think of one for the fandoms I'm in atm but I'm going to go with some people on Twitter constantly comparing Batman to a cop or saying he's horrible for fighting mentally ill criminals while ignoring the fact that he is also mentally ill AND he provides rehabilitation and resources to them as Bruce Wayne. It's just a clear indication that they don't read comics. You can def make an argument and criticize batman if you know what you're talking about and have the sources at hand, but these people make it clear every single time that they have no idea what they're talking about and their sources are either out of context comic panels where it was written by Tom King or going by the word of anti bruce wayne people. It doesn't happen often, but it pops up every once in a while whenever Batman is trending.
(Ask game here)

there is only one way i'll accept fu hua dying in canon
!! spoilers ahead !!
ever since fuhua challenged kevin to a fight, it made me wonder since when did she get reckless. even senti did not challenge kevin again bc she knew she would lose right away and it says a lot.
i'm confident that mhy will not kill her off esp when there are a lot of stakes right now. killing her off right as the plot is reaching its climax would not only destroy the momentum. it would also make it a senseless death.
my friend argued with me that mhy doesn't hesitate with senseless deaths. she cites the flamechaser sims and himeko for example. let's be honest 10/13 are already dead with one still unaccounted for in real life. don't get me started with himeko too. sometimes i wonder if we played the same game or if its the difference in our willingness to check out the mangas.
but back to the topic on hand, i'm not very willing to accept fuhua's death any time soon unless its an end fuhua choose for herself. she lived for 50k years already and if fuhua wants to rest, she deserves the right to go out in the way she wanted. she wants to live to actual old age? go ahead granny. she wants to go out in blazing glory on the moon? go... ahead... granny (reluctantly).
they actually had two chances to write her off. one in ch9 bc as a feather, she doesn't have much strength left and could have chosen to pass on. the other was during shattered samsara like @/domain-of-sentience said before. its too late to consider killing her now esp with her recent development.
fu hua is already nerfed to high hell and back. her active honkai reaction couldn't last three minutes against kevin. she got knocked out by sushang. but we also have to remember that she lasted long enough for senti to arrive to her location. she just exhausted herself fighting against sushang as an equal and blocked that giant mental sword to buy kiana time.
in ch33, she tells kevin she wants to show him that people in the new era are willing to sacrifice for what they believe in and made herself his enemy. if that doesn't tell you she found new reasons to live idk what will.
pretty lengthy rant for a death flag she just dodged.

personal update
Exercise related update.
It's been 13 weeks now and I'm still following through on my exercise routine. That's a huge resounding success in my books.
Some hings have changed a bit though. Like I don't exercise every day. I've been lax on the weekends these past few weeks, though have justified it to myself knowing I was going to have a lot of incidental exercise over the weekend with way too much walking happening.
I'm also more open to doing longer stints of exercise 20-25 minutes rather than just short and sharp things to get it over and done with.
That being said, I'm at a point now where I'm plateauing on the weightloss so I'm trying to shake things up a bit, shifting gears from purly cardio to mixing in weight training minimum 3 days a week.
I enjoy the DOMS and try to change up the types of exercises I do when I'm not feeling sore from them anymore. I'm hoping I'll start seeing a shift in my weight again soon as I've been teetering around the same weight for the past 3 weeks. It's not stressing me out or severely disappointing me. I'd still like things to keep moving though.
To date I've worked off 7 kgs, which is 15.4lbs to you imperial weirdos out there. That's about halfway to the weight I need to get to, to consider myself a 'healthy bmi'. Of course acknowledging that BMI is bullshit and doesn't take a whole lot of other things into consideration.
But I think my target weight which sits in that BMI range is realistic and doable, so I'm hoping to see some improvement in weight loss soon.
I'm being a bit more lax in my eating, taking in more calories especially since I'm focusing on more muscle mass. Fingers crossed, please and thank you.
Though not my official weigh in day, I did check my weight today and am lower than I've been the past two weeks, but still not low enough to be out of my plateauing limboland.
No matter what happens next I'm still very proud of myself for having gotten into a routine. And it's a good one because I'm not feeling super discouraged despite the scale not shifting where I want it to go.
It's my birthday real soon and I'm going to get some dumbbells so I can be more comfortable and do more intense workouts. At the moment I'm making do, using kettlebells and plates for the exercises, but dumbbells will be so much better.
Really looking forward to continuing the fitness journey I'm on. I'm feeling more energetic when I have to do physical things. I hopped on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago and saw a huge improvement in my cardiovascular fitness, so that's a huge boon. My clothes are looser on me and I am in desperate need of new jeans as my old pair is super baggy now. Not too happy that I also need to buy new bras very soon, esp if the weight starts coming off again, as I had just bought a couple of expensive ones in January. But oh well.
People are commenting on noticing that I've lost weight and I really like my legs. I've always had big calves but they have slimmed down a whole heap which makes me happy. And all in all I'm very glad I have lost weight because I had to attend a video shoot for work, so I'm glad I wasn't captured on film at my heaviest 😅
Hopefully I'll be back with more good weightloss news in a few more months. And if nothing else, as long as I can keep this routine up I'm already a winner. No matter what my body does.

hii its tattoo anon again <3 i just wanted to update you i loved cheols part of uts and cheol is one of my biases and i am so in love with his part!! i found this series almost a year ago and its bittersweet now that it has ended. i am so excited to see what comes next for the poly fic and your new works in general. i also hope that u saw my last message!! also i wanted to ask because idk if i didnt realize it or missed it but did you ever reveal who gave mouse the little stuffed mouse? if im not mistaken was it jeonghan? i have been wanting to figure out who it was but idk if i got it wrong lol. have a good day!
omg hi lovely!! i 100% saw ur last message and meant to respond and then. either forgot or got busy w school stuff, im blanking on which is it which probably just means it slipped my mind :( sorry!!
im literally gonna copy it over here and answer both this ask + the previous one to make it easier so uhh long response under the readmore !! i hope that's okay :(
okie dokie ill address this ask first
hi!!! you've been following the series since like... very close to the beginning then haha which is v v sweet and ill sob rn!!
i think i mentioned jeonghan working on the lil plush mouse during cheol UtS but didn't address it further, but yes! it was going to come up during poly fic at some point where he made all of the plushies for each person as a way of like. giving ppl comfort, esp when they show up & don't join the group at first (so that they have Something there w them, im the kind of person who needs something in my arms in order to sleep haha so that's where it's mainly coming from).
and for ur last ask:
hi its me again the tattoo anon LOL. i just wanted to reply to what you said and im so glad that i made you happy with what i said and i genuinely mean it. this is a little vulnerable but ever since i started liking svt i think a major reason why i love them so much is because they are a big group of friends and i have friends, but not that many so stanning svt in general is so comforting because of the closeness of all of them but finding this fic was like. a fucking dream for me because them being such a big close knit group and it being like the found family trope is perfect and the way you write and portray them is so comforting. genuinely i meant it when i said its one of my favorite things i have stumbled upon in my life, i have shared this story with my friends and they love it too and when we watch some edits of seventeen or see something in general that reminds us of this fic we say “this is so under the sun coded” and its like an inside joke with me and my friends. you literally changed the trajectory of my life with this fic lol. when im having a hard time in my personal life i come back to this little world u created by either just thinking about it before i fall asleep or rereading it and i want to thank you for being a writer. i hope you enjoy writing what you write bc i know that i certainly enjoy it and i hope you are proud of urself. anyway i think selling subtle stickers would be so awesome and i will definitely buy them. also since i submitted my last ask i have thought about little ideas for a tattoo maybe?? like what about like a small drawing of a church and like 13 little people around it with a little sun?!? or flowers like you said OR getting little drawings of the animals each person has? i think that would be so cute. or like maybe a little sash blindfold?? anyway ur awesome i love u thank u
the first time i tried to answer this ask, my long response ended up deleted bc i switched tabs for a second to check something and then tumblr just... deleted it??? which was v frustrating, kind of makes me hate the new post editor a Lot!
but to be vulnerable as well, i think i started writing UtS at like... a difficult point in my life? not difficult as in the painful way, but difficult as in 'there's a lot going on right now and i've never felt more alone than i do now' i guess? it's like... i started writing it right before my final semester of college, and i'm an online student, so i don't get to go out and be in a classroom with other people. sometimes i call myself an introvert when i think the term 'ambivert' has always fit more--i don't detest being social, i do tend to enjoy it! but i still need alone time to make up for it since it's draining. and idk, i was lost for a while on who i am and what i want to do with my life?
and i feel like writing UtS has put me in a vulnerable position to like... question a lot more about myself as a person. i have friends, sure, but no one i go out to see in person since i'm not exactly like... in a good place for that kind of interaction (deep south bible belt, haha... makes not being straight something i struggle with sometimes). i think the important part of UtS is the acceptance they all have for one another, and it's something i personally wish to have a lot more of in my offline life. i think even if i had the idea without darl+ing, it would have ended up being a svt fic due to how close they are and how much they care for one another.
also tbh i just love the found family trope. i love the idea and process of choosing your own family in a sense and saying 'these are MY people and i love them' ig.
also u showing the fic to ur friends + the comment abt being like 'this is UtS coded' ill SOB!!! i will!!! thats literally so cute and sweet of u!!! (pls feel free to send me any of ur 'this is UtS coded' thoughts i would always love to hear them haha)
but like. this is why i write. i like being able to impact people and help them escape life and be happy for a while. its why it always means a lot to me when i get feedback on my work and see people be happy with what i write (... even if sometimes its angsty haha--moving people to feel is a huge compliment by itself!). im glad you have UtS. im glad i have it now, too.
i do enjoy writing, btw, and i loved writing uts. even with the frustration periods where i didn't touch it for a while, i genuinely enjoyed writing uts a lot. i think i owe a lot of that to people like you, who read it and show support for the series! its always easier to read something when i know there's someone who will enjoy it. i remember smiling hard when i rewrote the ending to cheol uts bc of how fucking stoked i was to share it tbh!!! also bc i messaged savv 'lol this is gonna be devastating (/pos)' at one point i think sdkfhsdf but i was genuinely excited to finish it and get it out to u guys!! i dont know who i would be if i didn't write, and despite like... all of the bad shit that's happened in my life that i've turned to writing to pull myself out of it, i don't think i'd ever give it up. i think it's too deeply a part of me to ever give up. maybe one day i'll get published lol
ill definitely put more thought into subtle stickers for UtS (and maybe some other series haha cant remember if i mentioned that last time but UtS felt like the bigger one)! might have to ask around my friend circle for tips on designing them >:3
ohh i like ur tattoo ideas :0 im not sure what would look good so i hope u consult a tattoo artist with ur ideas eventually!! the idea of the lil church w a sun + 13 ppl is rly cute? if u do the sash-blindfold thing, u could always have a lyric inside of it or something if u wanna play w that :3c pls feel free to keep me updated further!!
sorry i didnt get to this ask until now but i hope u are doing well mwah mwah have a good day ur awesome ily

No I don't think Elon cares about that per se but I think as a professional artist, I'd be fooling myself to think that the job market won't shrink for artists WHILE all the other data collection continues to happen on top of that.
I feel like both of these things can simultaneously be true. Saying that "no one wants to buy this stuff" doesn't give me comfort because.. I dunno. I saw a news heading on my nintendo switch use AI art instead of just hiring someone or looking through image sources of art they likely have access to the licenses for. There was a job listing looking for people like me to make children's books using AI. My job (if I were to ever become a sad sap of a scab) would be to edit the illustrations spat out by the AI and do the graphic design for the whole book. All for 500$/ book (13-17 illustrations). Some companies will absolutely use it because it's cheaper and faster instead of paying artists and it's already happening. Time will tell as to whether the general public will or won't find something wrong with it.
y'all can even point to this post when we get our first style/ artist impersonator. This shit is already happening. It'll just get harder and harder to catch the better these AI softwares get.
I didn't feel comfort when bigger, industry established artists told us that corporations aren't giving up on artists and "want to hear your voice and see your work" etc etc. It's a beautiful sentiment but it puts too much credit on a lot of corporations to be ethical and respect artists, esp those from marginalized groups. I'm not trying to be defeatist. I think people should continue to make art and continue to demand their fair due. I'm going to keep making art because it's fun and I paid too much goddamn money honing it as my craft, and someday hopefully I'll be able to make an earnest living from it.... but in this respect I'm a cynical fuck. The face data collection is just another layer on top of all of this and we'll need to be a lot more careful and firmer going forward.
i hope you guys understand that the end goal of neural networks is not to Replace Artists or any of that, that's not what these companies are developing them for. elon musk isnt investing all this money in neuralink because he wants to replace your favorite fursona poster online with a robot, tencent isnt crawling for selfies because they want to cut out the blooming industry of twitter artists who will draw you as a bishie anime boy. the interest in these technologies is all in the hands of surveillance companies and arms manufacturing companies and industrial automation companies.
it seems scary because right now theres a million fucking grifters trying to sell themselves as artists but there's no market for this! nobody wants to buy an ai generated graphic novel, no one who's actually interested in art is gonna decide to give money that they would have otherwise spent on a real commission to an ai guy on twitter. but i guaran damn tee you, as soon as lockheed martin figures out a way to use these programs to guide a missile, the money will start flowing.
#art and politics#AI art#military industrial complex#just chatting#please don't readily let corps have pictures of your face. I know it's easier said than done but forreal.#Think as you wish but I dunno we aren't screaming for nothing.

Ah!!!!! I know you usually do these for full personalities but 🙇♀️!! Dorm leaders reaction to an MC who is incredibly effecient in heels and can even track run in them?
And!! Thank you for all the writing you provide and create fefefe (●^o^●)!! 💞
Dorm leaders with an MC who is incredibly efficient in heels
warning(s): none
notes: it's ok i take any requests SLMFOAJAOAJ i like challenging myself
and I'm glad u enjoyed my writing😔💕
also, sorry if they're kind of short sksjsk
Riddle:
considering he wears heels with his dorm uniform, he can respect this KJSJSS
one time he saw you chase someone down with high heels and was like 🤨
NO RUNNING DOWN THE HALLS
HE DOESN'T ABT HEELS JUST DON'T BREAK THE RULES
also saw u running tracks with those heels
he knows how hard it is to wear heels, so he's kind of amazed
Leona:

never worn heels and will never try them
so seeing u run in them is kind of amusing honestly
i mean at least u can run in them? if you can't, that'll be worrisome
considering how u probably have to run everyday bc of ur friends
he doesn't mind much but the sounds of the heels clicking do irritate him a little
Azul:
land creatures sure are something
i mean- humans sure are smth!
he can barely walk when he first walk on land
and now he's seeing u run in tracks with those high heels
damn what kind of superpower
are u sure u don't have any magic?? then how come u can run in heels huh
Kalim:
seeing u do that makes him want to do the same
teach him. pls.
he'll gift u an expensive pair of heels if u did so pls teach him😊
saw u running with those heels
he went to buy some heels so he can try what u did
heels are hard T-T how do u even run in these?
kind of grows some more respect for u that u can even run in these things
(DW KALIM I WILL LEARN HOW TO RUN IN HEELS JUST SO I CAN TEACH U!!)
Vil:
and what makes u think he can't do the same?
his heels is like 13 inch if i remember correctly?
if u can do some flips with heels? so can he
but maybe he won't do flips rn since he wants to care for his appearance
u can run in track with those heels? he's right next to you with his heels too
whatever u can do with ur heels, he can too
well at least he compliments u for it‼️
Idia:
what a monster
that's his thoughts
he probably cosplayed characters who wears heels sometimes?
and heels are so damned hard, esp since he's so tall
how can u run in those things
man respect honestly
Malleus:
his dorm uniform has heels too so I think he can do the same
idk why would a 202cm man would need heels but sure u do u malleus‼️
above all, he's amused honestly
especially when he saw u run in those said heels like it's nothing
or when u do flips lmfao
he's like 😮👏👏

13, 27, 32, 35 for the writing asks!
hiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. what is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? what is easy?
i think love and healthy relationships are hard to write about, because i want them to feel so, so real but balancing between wanting to tell a cohesive narrative that drives what i'm trying to say and then the urge to kind of unzip a character's brain and see what's really behind what they've come to expect as love is HARD. i think partly it's because i've never written something longer than 7k which isn't enough length to begin to address both sides, and because there are so many other people in every fandom, but esp. f1, who just smash that shit out of the park so how could i even beGIN to!?!?!
easy..... hmmm..... i stay pretty close to canon in terms of setting, profession, timelines, etc. because it puts bumpers on the task at hand before i get too carried away. it's not necessarily easy but i think it's why i haven't ventured out into au.
27. who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? why?
i can't get down daniel or max. i tried once. i don't like what i wrote. i think the concept swirled around me and i really wanted to see max from this angle but it just didn't pan out in my hands. womp
32. what is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? how did you find it? what does it mean to you?
"What do you think the opposite of a vampire is?"
"Someone very alive?" Ray says, and then after a minute, he says, "Someone who gives back instead of takes?"
And that's the answer. Frank thinks about the creature, about Grey Award, and feels something new bubbling inside, like a surprise, but one that's been long in coming.
Later the same week, he gets a pair of socks from Grey Award, knit with a design across the toe that is unmistakably blood spatter. There's no note this time, only a scrap of paper that says, "Everyone needs socks."
-buy handmade by jjtaylor
this fic holds a really special place in my heart, and jjtaylor is one of my favorite fic authors. the early mcr fic i read was really formative but this was like reading a funhouse mirror image of my life where things went better. it's lovely. i probably come back to it once a year and it's happy instead of bittersweet by now <3
35. what’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?
so one thing about me is that i have no idea what the fuck i'm doing! or what writing rules are! i have z e r o writing experience except for like a couple glee rpf fics before 2012 (i know, i know) and some non-prose stuff. i guess i hate capital letters? i also use way too much inappropriate punctuation while simultaneously having the longest sentences ever which kind of defies the laws of physics, so!

1. skull anon: since i am also a kpop fan since i was 13 and now in mid-20s, i'll also share about my experience.. like the previous anon, i watched a lot of variety shows (esp suju since they had a LOT of shows, basically pioneer of variety-dols) they had this show called "mini-drama" where they wrote script and act it themselves, and one of the story is a story about same sex love. And passing card mouth to mouth was normal, what even passing oxygen.
2. skull anon: Back then they also do "kiss performance" between members on stage. Nowadays i think there is no such thing. I like that PD of shows do not take advantage of idols for entertainment and have respect for them (in my opinion im not sure if idols are actually comfortable to do them). I don't think i can comment on ships bcs i used to not have OTPs and for suju, i just find their friendships VERY heartwarming and genuine.
3. skull anon: dojae is my first ever OTP i really got invested into. Because sj taught me what fanservice and genuine friendship are like, i got really weirded out by dojae's actions with each other and tbh i got confused. SO THATS HOW I GOT ON THE SHIP.
4. For changes throughout my fangirl experience, my favourite groups are all good at singing live so my bias groups type don't really change. In the earlier years of NCT, i wasn't quite impressed by their live singing (compared to my existing fav groups: infinite, sj etc) but since their Neocity World Tour they improved a lot in my opinion. And all of my biases (in all groups) are lead/main vocalists.
5. Handsome faces for me are just bonuses but i think good mannerisms and the ability to entertain is the good points an idol MUST have. As i get older my fangirling experience is slowly ceasing and i just come here on this blog once a day to catch up on dojae bcs i work 8am-5pm monday to friday. i also no longer spend money on kpop physical albums (only spend for music streaming and concerts, but well it's a global pandemic now).
(END) skull anon: of course i started to like NCT bcs i am an SM stan, but i stuck around bcs i wanted to see how they would turn out. I had a different bias at the start but changed to Doyoung and Jaehyun during Limitless. i dug their old rookies videos and saw how cute they were. they "changed" so i got suspicious, and the rest is history. It just feels like a long rant but well i am grateful that i knew the idols i love and loved :)))
----------------------
Thank you for the story. Interesting that you mentioned your work as a reason (?) to not buy physical albums, when many do the opposite (I finally have my own money and I buy what I want!). When I worked the hours I wanted to spend more to relieve the stress.
Suju’s history explains Leeteuk making everyone kiss Doyoung, fanservice he got used to.

I can see one big problem for some people, esp families, to migrate from Apple -- their photos. Google photos is fine but I have no idea how it compares to Apple and how they transfer. Personal data like that are probably one of the biggest reasons people hold back.
Also Apple's line about how everything "just works" is BS because once something breaks you cannot fix it. And these days Windows and Android are perfectly accessible for less tech-focused people.
And just to make it clear why Apple's insistence on being the only one to repair their products is not consumer-friendly, my last three laptops all either needed an upgrade or some hardware fix at some point, because I wear out computers faster than most people.
All I had to do was unscrew the back and I had access to everything. One laptop was just missing screws; I got some from a local computer repair guy and he even tried to give it to me free lol.
Another one, I took out the RAM from my old laptop and stuck it in the new one because it was the same brand and speed etc. (don't do this if you don't know computers tho; at least check on youtube or read up a little. but general advice is buy ram in pairs and put both in together bc they need to match.)
RAM is literally one of the easiest things to upgrade or replace. My dad showed me how when I was eight. I did it and it was fine. And boom, my computer doubled in RAM without paying for extra. I was able to reuse parts from my old laptop and now my new laptop could run much faster and have more programs open at the same time. (RAM can sometimes extend a computer's life for a few years if your computer is slowing down.)
I took out the hard drives from my last two laptops and stuck them in a case with a usb cable. It cost like 13$ and the instructions were literally just, unscrew and snap in. Now I have one external hard drive with all my old files (and one new hard drive I stuck in my new laptop; I have triple the space without paying hundreds extra)
Also, my new laptop unfortunately has no cd/dvd drive. New laptops are mostly removing them, which is sad bc I have all the LOTR extended editions on DVD. So I took my old computer, unscrewed the cd drive, got a cable off amazon and boom, new usb cd drive for like 5$. And it's not going into a landfill. I'll probably need to get a box to house the cd drive at some point, since it does vibrate a bit, but for now, using it sparingly, it's perfectly serviceable.
Apple's way of doing things is not only anti-consumer by hiding all the computery bits from you, to make you think certain aspects of computer hardware are more mysterious and difficult to understand than it is, it is also anti-ENVIRONMENT.
You can't easily salvage Apple parts from old Apple devices. You can't reuse or recycle them because they can't be easily taken apart. It's ridiculous and they want to keep you, their consumer, unaware of how much power and ability you really do have in relation to your tech.
A lot of reluctance I see from older adults and my AFAB friends is because of people trying to make this shit confusing so they can keep their jobs (and also ageism and sexism). And for actually thorny issues it is better to pay a professional. But so many simple things can be done by yourself -- by a child who's got decent fine motor control even.
Don't buy Apple. They want you to think you're dumb and they also don't care that they're contributing to tech waste.
I am sorry. I’m bashing Apple here. And for good reason.
This is a plea to my followers.
Stop buying Apple products. I know you’ve used them for most of your life, and I know it’s inconvenient to move to a new brand because in most cases, you cannot take your contacts with you on various chat apps.
I know this is inconvenient. I truly do.
But Apple is not the company it was before. There is now no difference between an Apple computer and a Windows computer in terms of graphic design. I know this for a fact. I had to use both in college 20 years ago, and non-apple computers are now generally better for design work than Apple computers.
Most non-apple companies encourage self-repair of your own devices, while Apple refuses it. I also know this for a fact, as I watched Apple computers become slowly less reparable through the late 90s and early 2000s. Where I was once able to do the repairs on our office computers, we had to start sending out our Apple devices because they started gluing things down on their logic boards. Notably the glue they used was not heat-resistant and led to device damage should the heat sink system fail. But they did this because they wanted to dig more money out of their customers.
Apple software is also designed to fail. I cannot believe people are still buying new devices after the scandal where Apple was slowing their phones in order to force people to purchase new versions.
Apple hardware is designed to become obsolete. Motherboards and logic boards are designed to hold exactly what comes attached to them and will fail if upgrade attempts are made.
Apple refuses to work with software developers despite promises of cross-compatibility. One of the very first coding problems I discovered was to discover a gigantic hole in a software program that made a plotter (giant printer) compatible with iOS. This caused a memory leak, leading to necessary resets of the computer after every 2 feet of printing.
I know that it’s not possible for most of you to just throw your devices away and buy a new one. I wouldn’t be able to do that, either. But eventually there will come a time when you have to upgrade, and I encourage you to take the plunge and purchase a non-apple device. I don’t even have a recommendation for you because literally anything is better than Apple. A rock that you write on is better than an Apple phone.
Unfortunately I expect to be shadow-banned on Apple devices because of this, and I’ll try to report on decreased activity as much as I can.
It’s time to stop trying to beg Apple to change. They won’t. It’s time now to just stop supporting Apple.
#oops i went on a rant#i was raised in an anti apple household#my dad got one of their laptops in the 90s#and he swore off the company after lol#hes of the opinion theyre all style and no substance basically#at any rate if you can you should try to swith#often android and windows devices go on sale for much much cheaper than apple products!#as a general rule for the us market#the avg person can get by with a laptop from 500-600 usd. itll play a few simpler games and run things decently#300$ and below is for ppl who basically only use a browser and type word docs or something#idk abt phone prices tho i havent kept up with that#but those are general guidelines#if youre not looking to save money then windows pcs around 1k usd are nice professional computers that Do Shit#and usually look pretty if that's a big draw for why you stick with apple#i promise it's not hard apple is full of lies

I was down for the count for 13 days. Only 2 of those I din't need to NEeeEeeedD to be stoned outta my mind on D8. It's snowing bid fat flakes and I want nothing more than to go out and play in that. T6 & I spent our 2nd NYE together & xchanged xmas gifts. Our first Xmas & NYE 2gthr was in 1999. He was late coming over & that gave me a chance to check to my mail. My supplies! So literlly whie he was in the shower & getting dressed I made his hat chain xmas prez. It came toghether so smooth. I didn't hunt for anything or struggle and my dexterity held out fine. That's my bliss yo not one moment of "where is that thing ack i'm running out of time" We made dinner toghether. Fresh walnut brussels sprouts. I wanted to pray before eating and he was like, "I'll pray to you" and he did. And it was legit prayer. I then said exactly everything he said in praise of me to God in my meal prayer. Nothing more, nothing less. It was perfect. And at some point during our hang sesh he handed me all his meth & told me to flush it. I thought about eating it all, which is fucked & I don't even get that tbh & of course got up and flushed it right away. As we lie in bed I really needed to be bit hard; so much tension. And I asked him if he would do that platonically. No kissing, no romance bro, just bite me hard. He had to be directed to bite harder harder harder, but I got my release and it felt great. He started kissin a bit & I called him on it & he apolofized and cut it out for good. No issues. Just best buds livin in the moment. It was the perfect start to the new year. We watched Tarantino movies. I'd put on Death Proof, then he put on some Hollywood alt verse Manson one, then hatefull 8. Maybe 2 days go by & T6 had the fear of God put into him via S6 and suddenly what I've been saying about Christ Conciousness made sense to him. He suddenly feels God in his blood. He feels Gods love for him and knows that even though he felt abandoned by both god and the devil God never did abandon him. I still floored by this development. I asked if he was furreal. I waited days thinkin he might be high, but no this is real. T6 came to Christ. I never was trying to convince him. I just speak my truth. When I prayed that I have a friend in faith as I had known that 6 months with S6 I never in my wildest dreams imagined T6 would be that person. So, yeah we connectin on new levels. His Grandmother is a devout Christian and she regards it as an Absolute miracle that for the first time in her life her grandson wants to pray with her. Within a week of his enlightment T6 gets C19 real bad. That's where we are now. T6 is horribly sick with C19. I'm worried that all the meth is gonna reduce his bodies ability to fight it off. And he is very, now, determined to quit, so withdrawal on top of C19. I have never prayed like that. I didn't even get any sense of closure or peace from praying. It wasn't til my mom replied to my request that she pray for him with "i hope he's vaxxed" and I went off like, "like only the people who did what you did deserve to survive the pandemic?!" and I was pissed. That I realized oh hey, if T6 dies from this, dies unvaxxed, then he dies worthy of me & that's good enough. I found peace. Now, I said worthy of, but what I mean is that he and I are on the same side. The same side of not trusting the gvment and esp of not buying into the fear. I will not be ok if he doesn't make it.

my "the big leap" thoughts (SPOILERS):
- paula, my heart, my darling.
- not the cane
- mike is freaking adorable plssss
- oh wow, gabby is absolutely gonna break reggie's heart
- mr.a 🤮
- the way nick pushed that chinese food tho had me goneeee😭 his "oops"? pls sir-
- mike + friends j loveeee it
- I want more mike & paula neowwww
- more reggie in general pls
- naw, but the homecoming ask scene? we stan/love simon
- gabby's dnce hit different, I feel like she's a better choreographer than dancer 100%
- just everybody. even brittany. chick needs serious therapy but like, all the characters on this TV show make me laugh and they're just real.
- mike's eyes in the bar scene. that's jt. they had me hooked.

can I just say that I just recently started watching sense8 for the first time and I'm literally only on episode 4 of season 1 but you can bet that I've read through every ao3 fic that makes sense to me canon wise, have written ideas upon ideas for these characters, and have cried for these characters only to find out it got cancelled in season 2. and now there's a book coming out and you can already bet i'm going to buy it because this story has already had me balling my eyes out AND IM NOT EVEN ON THE FIFTH EPISODE OF THE SHOW YET ! anyways, that's all to say my tumblr is, at some point in the future, going to be a sense8 blog.

this is so sick - I really didn't hate the episode, I thought athena's storyline was interesting esp. some of the rapist's lines like "ur a cop who happens to be a mother" I wish more people wrote about that because it's so interesting esp. w/ athena's last & her relationships. . and the Michael + Athena dynamic is literally my favorite. and I didn't think Bobby was out of character?? Harry is literally his child + his traumatic backstory with his other children? of course dude wilded the fuck out. I don't know. this episode got a lot of hate (which I understand because of the copganda) but alot of people j wanted to get back to buddie which is annoying. this show is an ensemble and I haven't seen significant Harry & Michael scenes in a long time.
(ALSO HARRY IS REALLY J LIKE ATHENA THAT SCENE WITH HIM AND MICHAEL WITH HIM BEING LIKE "IM FINE" PLS I LOVE YOU BUT NO. DONT DO AN ATHENA, HARRY (AND MICHAEL KNEW IT TOO FKFKKF))
eddie & ana's scene had me in tears - they had more chemistry in those 3 minutes than they're entire relationship and now I want fics where Ana and Eddie stay friends pls. I really feel like they would be bomb buddies. hate on the actress all you want, but I feel like Chris & Ana was amazing. and while I don't hate the fact that the actress is leaving, I do hate the fact that Ana is not going to be mentioned at all after this. I just wanna hear mentions like (buddie-centric since that's all people care about nowadays) Eddie & Buck going on a date and Chris hanging out with Ana for the day or sum like that. and don't even get me started on Maddie & Chimney. That lowkey traumatized me. my heart was literally hurting and then I had to go eat some comfort food because chimney and maddie had my heart breaking. wish maddie didn't go out like that, like other people have been saying, but j do understand why she did it even that doesn't make what she did right. but yeah.
I'm glad the big leap came on afterwards because I needed a reboot and something to laugh at (even tho that episode was wild !!!)
