HELLOOOOOOOO THEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Do you have any Tf Ocs? or Ocs in general? Asking for no reason (:
-🪐
oh my god so many so many transformers OCs😭 I only have one drawn so far so im just gonna infodump on you so hard
Clapperclaw- my FIRST actual transformer oc :3 hes a lil guy and hes designed to look like a bird!!! and he transforms into a mosquito helicopter! He used to be a decepticon, but he defected after a series of events that kinda made him have an identity crisis.. alsooo hes conjuxed to MisClick!! who ill talk abt now
MisClick- Big blue tank thing!!!! shes a scientist and doesn't prefer fighting, but shes huge and buff and can protect herself verrry well. She was also a decepticon, but didn't really care for sides all the much, but stayed with the decepticons for convenience (first faction that found her, her partner was part of them, they had the materials she wanted for her experiments) but when Clapper defected, she did too.
Current- also a scientist, and specializes in chemistry and biology mostly. and he turns into a boat!!! a big as hell yacht!!! so he a reaall big bot. hes an autobot and in most versions of him hes really close with optimus cus yayyy :3 also his face got fucked up in one of his experiments (acid burns teehee) so he wears a mask most of the time
Pike- okay soo... this guy isss complicated??? the initial reason i made him was for transformers reader insert fic reasons, and then he just kinda stuck around in my brain. sometimes hes with megatron, sometimes with someone else, hes an autobot and a decepticon at the same time , i dont fucking know. the only constant is that he's ancient and doesnt eat energon like a normal person (he doesnt really eat energon at all, he feeds off the energy thats always being dispelled by other bots. hes silly like that)
Crimson- now this guy silly!!! hes tiny and has a liiiittle bit of an italian accent cus his alt-mode is based on my dads car which is a really old alfa romeo (which are italian cars :3) hes silly and always super optimistic and is the reason that Tine eventually joined the autobots
Tine- (placeholder name) Saddest guy on the block. wasn't on a side and was doing his best to survive. kills on sight, takes no risks, serious as FUCK. hated everyone and everything until meeting crimson. saw a silly old man so full of joy and whimsy he couldn't help but fall in love lmao. still very wary around everyone else but can and will kill for crimson (also his alt is a jeep btw)
Prodsling- yeah this is a cowboy. texas accent , would wear a cowboy hat if he could, likes to pet cows and horses, loves driving through mud. hes like a chill southern granpa that sits on a porch and gives weird advice and makes farm animal noises. turn into a pickup truck ofc
Shiver- Weirdest girl on the block. literally your local cryptid that watches u from the shadowy corners and knows all your secrets. actually quite sweet but has the autism that makes you strange and unsettling <3 alt is like??? i dunno some cool black car. she walks silently and is so good at eavesdropping
Polyphon- weird little decepticon kid that wants to be friends with soundwave SO BAD. wants to party, covered in rainbow biologhts. RAVE BOY RAVE TIME!!! has speakers on him :3 here to have a good time not a long time 🎉
Vironmet- Little old lady in the woods that loves to meditate and talk to animals. will NOT HESITATE TO THROW DOWN if you fuck of the forest or anything living in it. bakes you a pie but if your mean to dogs its poisoned. basically what if tfa prowl was a little lady that killed. she turns into a Squirrel i think
Matte- Mercedes that does not quit. stares into peoples eyes menacingly all day. wants to bite. most fucking stubborn guy ever. Only loosely tied to the autobots and just does his own thing, cus literally no one can handle him!!!!!
Nano- tiny little medic! about the size or a human and her alt is basically a swiss-army medical tool! so shes made to have other bots handles her. also shes basically Ratchets child for funsies. tiny, bitey, ready to be covered in energon when its surgery time!!!!
aaand thats a out it so far! I dont have a lot of time to draw them cus im in college snd have ine million assignments 😭 but ill try!!! so watch out for em!!
#transformers#transformers oc#transformers original character#tf oc#im mostly thinking of tfa anf tfp when making these#maccadams#asky

more rayman headcanons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wrote a LOT here
some general descriptions of like 31 whole characters in my headcanon lore. at least those i had much of note to say about. so like, some pretty important characters are missing sorry
rayman - hes cool and a doofus at the same time. hes also a little bit stupid. he values having friends so so much and has no clue what romance is because hes never felt any kind of romantic attraction. he was raised by his fairy mom (betilla has her exact r1 design btw.) and theyre still on good terms : ) favorite activities: inventing ridiculous fun new things to do with globox
globox - he is exactly like in rayman 3 aside from the odd parts in the first map of hoodlum headquarters. silly idiot with a big ego, plays himself up to be mega competent and awesome at everything despite also being a coward. loves his family and haveing fun and his friends. hes good at coming up with ridiculous stupid conclusions. he dislikes glutes (I MEAN THE BIRDS IT IS WHAT THE BIRDS IS CALLED) because they kept biting him and stealing his lunch when he was a kid. he is terrified of rabbids. hes a red wizard but hes bad at being one (due to being tall, bald, not red (anymore) and not much of a wizard (he knows like 2 spells (hes really good at making rain happen though!!!))). his parents dont like him very much for being too much of a silly idiot
uglette - basically globox 2 in a lot of ways. not a coward but is averse to adventuring so she doesnt do that (also isnt as arrogant). kicks your ass if you threaten her kids though. not as much of an active participant in various fun activities despite being fully supportive of it BUT DONT GET IT WRONG she is still also a silly idiot. she doesnt like math either but is surprisingly good at counting which is the only reason her and globox know how many kids they have (globox was barred from helping out with counting, hes so bad at it which is why they were miscounting as over 650 for a while, its really just 651). uglettes parents dont like her very much for unclear reasons (hwy do you think shes named that)
their kids - allowed to run everywhere and have as much fun as possible which includes them punting every other glade inhabitant they can get to like the ball. they are UNRESTRICTED MENACES. if confronted about it (usually by murfy) both globox and uglette would go "its good parenting". at worst they get told off like "hey dont be mean please". andre is one of the kids btw
murfy - he is exactly like in rayman 3. hes actually really good at different voices which is why hes really squeaky at times (he puts on an act and pretends to be nice when polokus is around, that includes making a stupid squeaky voice). has flirted with rayman who remains completely oblivious to this. attempted to date a lot of people otherwise, didnt go so well, one of them was a literal girl with great big eyes though (a mosquito). also he would rather pursue acting than whatever his job ended up being
goth teensy - i wrote a post about him already. nice naive little man. his memory is awful for no reason. he doesnt remember how he got this watching over the dead door job either and he barely does it because he keeps getting distracted (and justifies it with "well how likely are the nightmares to get out anyways?")
raymesis - his one goal in life is to be raymans greatest rival and make sure everyone knows how bad rayman is (raymesis fails horribly at this. when he pretensd to be rayman literally everytone can tell that is not rayman). he is a giant cringefail loser. he wears cringy gamer shirts (like. over his hoodie) at home, which is a horrible dingy apartment. has several other embarrassing interests he doesnt even let glombrox know (who basically lives in his apartment due to constantly finding new ways of breaking in)
glombrox - claimed by raymesis to be his sidekick, actually just goes along with it because hes smart and can also kick raymesis in the back once his own plan goes awry. raymesis is both his favorite target to mess with and the closest thing he has to a friend. he smells horribly and hates baths, he loves beating up people for fun, he writes in cursive so fancy its legit unreadable. he was also an asshole as a kid (hes no longer allowed anywhere near his relatively normal family) and found more company with darktoons who only slightly influenced him. somehow everyone keeps thinking hes globox. he hates it. he can eat mold
teensy queen - honestly kudos to my friend for coming up with most of this because this is like really good. teensy queen is just kind of nuts and also a giant drama queen (lmao), like fake fainting with back of hand on her forehead. her targets of attraction consist exciuslvely of women and rayman. she has probably spoken with ghosts
andre - unfortunately for him, stuck at globoxs village permanently after being turned back into a black lum at some point (during rrr's events). globox and uglette and their kids literally all consider andy a family member, he hates it and he hates everyone here. he doesnt even try to escape anymore because SOMEONE will inexplicably get him back there (ie his siblings catching him in a bug net. they kick him around too btw). hes still trying to plot some evil plan that he hopes to execute eventually. hes terrified of rayman more than literally anyone else in the glade
ales mansay - NOT the magician, just pretended to be him to try and get on the heroes' good side. ales is slightly taller than him actually. anyway ales likes mr dark very very much (this is not reciprocated whatsoever). hes really bad at magic for a teensy (his organ thing that works with magic just doesnt work right?) and he got bullied as a kid relentlessly for it, he was already mean but this just made him worse. hes the closest thing the glade can get to a techbro (if he makes all hte tech himself). was even more mean to goth teensy in particular (who was just trying to reach out and become friends maybe) when they were classmates
polokus - hes seen even by the other gods as a weird little silly man. he can shapeshift between pretty much any kind of look (he has to remain beige though) but the design in origins is his "true" form i guess. he created the glade and its inhabitants long long ago and set them loose, he created globoxs spcecies in his own image but thought itd be funny if they didnt have legs. when hes not vacationing god knows where (like himself) (anyway he went there during rayman 3) hes pretty easy to talk to and become best friends with. he is divorced (over teensies)
voodoo mama (NOT THE NYMPH this is literally not what the nymph is called ignore raywiki IM TALKING ABOUT mama hite) - God's Ex. she thinks hes too much of a silly idiot too. she literally only likes one teensy (romeo patti), thinks all the other ones are ugly as hell. nowadays (aside from hanging out in land of the livid dead briefly before getting kicked in the eyes. yknow. big mama.) lives at the sea of serendipity with red wizards, offering her weird concoctions and whatever else to people, usually they do some magic effect they want (ie how rayman recolored himself like globox for fun) but with Side Effects. all the red wizards are convinced shes just some tall lady thats really good at magic and not literally, like. another god. even though she doesnt bother to hide it that much. sorta acted like a better mom to globox than the one he actually had, it took him a long time to also learn she was, in fact, God's Ex
LIGHTNING ROUND,!? the (unique) BABYS!!! brainox is obviously the smart one, a polite little guy, he has albinism and thus doesnt like sunlight, looking at it OR being in it. so hes more nocturnal bimbette is just cutie pants (from fancy pants) basically. she is a huge brat. lacks eyelashes for some reason zikox (remember hes the yellow one this is a canon name from the dreamcast localization file) pursues rap sure he secretly really likes poetry. wouldnt let anyone know. oktette is obviously the other smart one but shes REALLY smug about it. she literally looks down on people shes the tallest of the babys. (actually theyd be like teenagers by now almost?) hardrox isnt mean but hes just annoyed all the time by everything. he has a cool rock band, his dad is the only other member (as you know globoxs rayman arena desc says he likes rock music) catastrox is confused about everything constantly he has a hard time understanding anything. actually one of the least chaotic kids. he also just didnt really understand robo pirates were bad because he didnt know morals yet (also bc he hatched with the pirates somehow)
flaming teensy is the cool old (not that old, hes in like his 40s equivalent) man. despite appearances (and whatever happened in mini) hes actually pretty nice. looks over the tricky treasure as a job. hes in a relationship with another teensy but hes from the cold part of gourmand land this time
(i didnt intend to pick images of both magicians (i guess. you can see i refuse to call ales that) with no hats on. i just thought they were funny. this one is from an educational game btw)
the first king is the actual old. hes oldest teensy that has ever been alive, he refuses to die out of sheer stubbornness and just constantly complains about "kids these days". hes like cranky kong with less video game references
jano - one of the more minor gods, only one created by polokus (it was an accident). then he made a mess and now nightmares and the scary part of land of the livid dead exist. hes gotten more neutral over time, but not exactly nice and he doesnt regret making nightmares happen. nowadays he actually guards the way to land of the livid dead (cave of bad dreams is just a part of it), which is a somewhat different job from goth teensy
(side note r3 and origins land of the livid dead exist in the same "space", but the origins one is in a sort of pocket dimension. pocket dimensions have mostly been created by group efforts of powerful teensies for convenient travel purposes, ie the highways or the hall of doors, or some other purpose like the tower also in (r3) land of the livid dead. anyway nightmares reside in the origins land of the livid dead. and it wasnr created by teensies just to be clear, its that most of the other pocket dimensions were)
dark globox - nobody invited him to these races one time he just showed up. everyones scared of him, hes not even mean or evil he just throws people into walls for some reason. he speaks in BFGKBLFBDKFHMMDFKS but hes like, a sapient person with thoughts in SOME form? still the same species as globox but hes the most weird shaped one. everyone just called him that due to approximate similarities to the only other competitor who was also the same species (unless you count globette) anyway dark globox is literally the only person glombrox genuinely respects
tily - like a cat (full of mischief) that can fly. unstoppable, chaotic, bites people (mostly globox. for no reason). if caught in the act (for example, pushing fragile objects off tables for no reason) she acts like shes entirely innocent and hasnt done a single thing wrong or bad at all. which keeps working, every time. but she can be persuaded to stop for a little bit with some treats of candy (thats a difference from cats, cats cant taste anything sweet at all!). i dont know what her relation to ly is but theyre both cats in some way
the magician (the real one this time) - has always been a rayperson. hes a grown man but is shorter than most teensies for no reason. obviously great at magic but anything involving technology confuses him to no end. hes maybe just a bit mischievous at times, hes nice he just messes with people a little bit sometimes for fun. Ok so i can really only describe this best with an image also from an educational game
red wizards arent like. one character but i could go into more detail on them. so they live mostly around sea of serendipity and mystical pique. at least the older ones are absolutely committed to being always serious and never having fun or being silly ever, and they hope to also teach the same values to god with their boring mantras. you can understand why globox didnt fit with the other red wizards like at all. ALSO red wizards gossip a LOT, htey end up knowing about everything remotely adjacent to them (but nothing outside of that, they had no idea there were robo pirates at all for example)
romeo patti - why did he decide to live in land of the livid dead?? anyway he kind of has the easiest job in the world because most of his patients are already ghosts and you cant do much about that. so he spends all his time smoking all kinds of stuff, thats kind of why hes the only teensy voodoo mama likes. hes also one of the tallest known teensies, its hard to tell because he also has the worst posture of all the known teensies
TOOK LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO MINIMUSES I GUESS? talking in plural because i think its mostly a set of teensies that steal the crown from one another. being The King is mostly meaningless but it makes them feel important and they get to shout commands at people. only one of them was brave enough to participate on some fun adventures with rayman and globox and goth teensy, he acts like the leader of the team which makes the other three go "?"
sir globrax - he keeps getting stuck in absolutely unreal situations. nobody knows how he does this. murfy for a time got assigned by polokus to watch over this poor chainmail wearing idiot and, while he wouldnt show it, murfy has never genuinely hated anyone more than this guy and his penchant for trapping himself in ways nobody on the planet can decipher. meanwhile his view on murfy is like. My assisant murfy who helps me when im in trouble : )
globteen and teensy ray together i guess - theyre like. friends but they mostly focus on being the number one biggest fan of whoever their respective favorite guy is. and they both run fanclubs but the globox fanclubs only members are globteen and globox. teensy ray will try and fight anyone who is mean to rayman, also hes one of the few teensies that isnt bald (he made himself not bald)
globteen is a funny little guy overall. his age is a mystery. most people find him kind of weird and a bit nuts so he doesnt have a lot of friends but he doesnt seem to mind that much. hes actually REALLY pale for a teensy for some reason, being a very light yellow color. its a bit hard to tell because he never goes out without his face painted blue (like globox). also he is literally this
might do more of this if i come up with things to write about other characters
#rayman#I LOVE talking about the funny little blue guy in my brain#and all of his best friends and enemies

also jamiazu prompt fr u to talk abt: who do u think kissed the other first. how do u think their first kiss played out
RUBS MY EVIL HANDS LIKE AN EVIL MOSQUITO ON A SUMMER MORNING
okay so ill get to the point my awnser is jamil im sorry . i dont know how many people here will agree with this post but i am no longer a coward on tumblr (LIAR)
i mostly feel like this because I can’t picture azul as being straight forward about that sort of thing. i can picture him as meticolously planning and practicing everything beforehand and then just failing miserably because jamil is jamil.
sometimes i think abt how azul never had a friend to socualize with in his childhood (other than the tweels which are FAR from normal friends). if he ever crushed on someone as a kid he 100% never acted out on it because of how insecure he was (and is) with all that bullying he received
also azul is at disadvantage because jamil is always so grumpy around him how is one supposed to know if its ok to kiss this guy without getting punched in the face
the whole thing about jamiazu is that jamil needs to learn how to trust azul (abd actually azul does as well but thats another can of worms that needs its seperate post) which is why i can only see it happen post-book6 jamil
once he learns to overcome his horrifying trust issues induced by his horrible job . thats when he kisses azul ^_^
i really went off topic with this post cuz it was supposed to be about a first kiss but i deserve to wtite paragraphs and be shameless i think
anyway my vision is: they’re hanging out alone in an unplanned place like maybe away from a scarabia party? maybe in the fucking hallways bathrooms away from classes? just not a planned date or anything because i have delusions (i feel like jamil would do it in an unplanned context on purpose). at first they’re just standing there alone with lots of tension, with azul trying to chat like he always does but jamil is deep in thought about how he feels about everything. jamil concludes that he is so tired of depriving himself of what he wants and of holding himself back. that he should go for that kiss because he deserves it ^_^ and azul explodes and dies……. u think about the rest…….
i hope you like my vision i should not be allowed to write crimge when sleep deprived ❤️❤️❤️
#i cut so much shit off cuz i went on such an off topic tangent#about their trust issues#but it needs a seperate post#;7#&?&&((&(&&(#IM SO GONNA REGRET THIS ONCE I WAKE UP TOMORROW BUT THATS EXACLTY WHY IM POSTING THIS NOW.#jamiazu#i am even goijg to fucking tag thjs.#i am in my villain arc(girl who is talking about her jnteresst)#also again thank you sm for the asks and the prompt it’s really helped getting my mind off things#i am going to bed in a bright mood#i hope i didnt go too off topic im a lost cause

hi.. im the anon who sent u an ask about ur updating! i read your last post and it made me extremely sad :( im sorry you feel your work isn't appreciated I only found you after mosquito pt 1 so im very new to your blog and i actually find your story telling very unique especially on tumblr. im not sure how to put it but the way you portray certain emotions and how things progress through a story i can tell you care deeply about what you create which makes it even more sad that you feel embarrassed by your engagement, im just one person so i cant do much on my own but i can say your followers or engagement aren't a reflection of the quality of your work. Dont give up yet! you are a good writer and have so much potential! if you choose to stay I’ll try to continue to support you here - 🐼 (I’ll use a panda emoji frm now on so u know its me!)
one of the things that makes me sad about leaving is readers like you, while I was writing the post I kept thinking about all the people who always engaged with my content though there weren't many of them.
I want to emphasize that the biggest reason for my leaving isn't the lack of engagement, just so many other things that need to be done that take priority. It's just that the lack of engagement made me less willing to attempt to weasel it in to my schedule.
In saying that, this isn't a permanent goodbye because I do like writing and I do care for my existing plotlines. This isn't even the first time I've "retired". But I wanna take the time to thank the people active who I saw frequently in my notifs like @hwanghyunjinenthusiast and @morel-z
I know there are more but I can't think of them at the moment. I also wanna thank you, 🐼

THIS. This ask will not help in anyway but you've accidentally activated my special interest mode if you hadn't already guessed that-
Very responsible of Sun and Moon to sip from one person instead of many because I cannot express how much of a public health nightmare vampires would be. HEPATITIS IS REAL AND OUT THERE. Anything that involves blood contact like that is a major risk for spreading infectious diseases and i don't know how u would disinfect your teeth after biting someone. Cause you'd also have to like- disinfect the inside. THSI IS WHY WE DONT REUSE NEEDLES.
Vampires would be like mosquitos and ticks but what if it was worse and my brain loves this. Likely immune to the effects of disease, regularly going out and biting people- as someone who wants to work in public health it terrifying but as someone with a massive ebola poster in my room I'm living. Thriving even. Thinking about the fiction idea of vampire public health chaos.
Anyways a good way for vampires to not be a public health nightmare is for them to have one donor. GO Y/N you are SPARING THE WORLD FROM CHAOS!!!!
YOU
YOU
YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING
Because I really didn't know how I can give y/n more motivation than "oh well if i don't do this they probably will steal from blood banks and cause deficit" NOW IT ALSO CAN BE THIS??
BUT i would also think that vampires just don't go for the diseased y'know?? Moon and Sun are 100% resistable for human's diseases but maybe that would be a very good protection mechanism for them to not just kill all of their preys?
I really really like the idea of them being a threat to humanity tho-
I have no idea I need to think don't mind me, don't perceive anything from here as canon info about au lmao just me fighting my thoughts

Hihi i was just wondering if you could still do a matchup for Demon Slayer? if not you can just ignore thisss💕
My name is Sabrinaaaa
For myself lookwise i have light reddish brown thick wavy hair that goes down to my waist, but my roots are black since it was dyed. I have honey brown eyes that are almond shaped and eyebags+light freckles on my cheeks n nose . my skin is fair but with an olive undertone. I'm pretty sure my body type is a figure 8, im 5'2 and on the thinner side but not underweight, i have a good amount of weight on my thighs though.
It's somewhat hard to describe my personality since many people would describe me differently. Id say if im around people i dont know well ill be pretty quiet. Im not very shy it's just complicated to talk to people i dont know. If im obligated to talk people i don't know for something important it wont be a problem. To strangers i might come off as a bit mean just because i have a resting bitch face and i tend to avoid everyone, people will think im depressed or something too but i like to say im very happy at most times. I'm genuinely a whole different person around the people who i trust and people who i just click with, needs to be the right person. Im extremely loyal to people i love and im always happy to be around them or listen to them if they need someone to talk to and ill go out of my way to make them happy. Im also very unpredictable and ill randomly do things in the moment butttt my friends say thats what makes it so fun to hangout with me. im always down for anything if my friends wanna do something ill do it and it's gotten me in trouble a few times but ive gotten amazing memories from it. im also really determined and i try to better myself everyday and i don't just ever give up on things. Another thing about me is that im very overprotective of people i love and i don't let people who hurt them get away with it ever. I have a problem with holding grudges against people i dislike. I'm too a very curious person i like learning new things a lot..unless theyre boring lmao
Most people who say things don't get to me very easily and im not sensitive one bit. But the whole story is different if someone i love says something, i take it very seriously and im sensitive about it. I'm very generous to loved ones and love giving gifts bought or handmade.💕And the last thing im gonna say about my personality because this is wayy toooo much is that im just incredibly sarcastic😭
I'm just gonna go onto my likes. I LOVE ANIMALS SO MUCH THEY MAKE ME SO HAPPY ESPECIALLY KITTENS💕💕💕 I LOVE ANYTHING HORROR RELATED, SHOWS, MOVIES, GAMES I ALSO LOVE GAMING IN GENERAL !! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SHOW RIGHT NOW IS THE WALKING DEAD🙏🙏i also really like taking care of myself like going to the gym and taking good care of my hair+ doing skincare i have a huge shower routine and i have a big collection of perfumes and body mists i love smelling good and i love candles because they smell good, flowers too. i love anything thats pretty i love looking at pretty things. my favorite colors are pink and purple theyre so girly. girly things keep me alive even if i dont always act girly🙏🙏. i love music so much too i really like grunge, rock, metal, some pop, and some rap music, its amazing, i also like some childish things like hello kitty, plushies, dolls, etc i just find them adorable, i love cooking and baking also and i always make stuff for my friends 🙏
The things that i dislike are people who are sheep and always copy other people, like be yourself please. I tend to not like people who take jokes very seriously. That reminds me i also don't like people who take everything seriously but i dislike people who make everything a joke too, their needs to be a balance. i also hate wasps, hornets, and mosquitoes their existence literally means nothing. I HEAVILY HATE DISLOYAL PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WHO BETRAY OTHERS. theirs probably more but im not gonna go on.
Since i like fashion a lot ill describe how i like to dress!! My styles varies but i love jean jackets, leather jackets, all black fits, cool belts, boots, sneakers, cute heels, i like floral, frilly dresses and frilly little skirts 2000s brands like ed hardy, low rise shorts with designs, layering stuff, lots of jewlery, and yeahhhhhhssss
I'll end this off with my hobbies which include kickboxing, gym, bedrotting, binging shows, dressing up, making bracelets, gaming, shopping, annnnd doing anything fun tbh
Alright i'd say thats about it im sorry for the yapfest i hope this isn't to much🫶🫶
Thank you for the request!!!
I ship you with Kyojuro Rengoku!!
Rengoku's warm and enthusiastic personality complements your loyalty and joy around loved ones.
His strong sense of duty and protectiveness matches well with your overprotective nature towards people you care about.
Both of you have a strong determination and drive. Rengoku's passion for his duties and your determination to improve yourself make a dynamic and inspiring duo.
Rengoku loves to eat, and your love for cooking and baking for friends would make you two a perfect match in the kitchen.
Rengoku appreciates beauty and tradition, which aligns with your love for pretty things, candles, and flowers.
Your interest in kickboxing and going to the gym aligns well with Rengoku’s rigorous training and physical prowess.
Both of you would admire each other's strengths and dedication. Rengoku would be fascinated by your fierce loyalty and protectiveness, while you would be inspired by his unwavering resolve and positivity.
Rengoku’s supportive nature would help you feel confident and appreciated, especially during moments when you feel misunderstood by others.
You both would enjoy doing fun and spontaneous activities together, making memories and living in the moment.
Your light reddish-brown hair and honey brown eyes would create a striking contrast with Rengoku's fiery appearance, creating a visually dynamic pair.
Your quieter nature around strangers would balance out Rengoku’s outgoing and friendly demeanor, making social interactions comfortable and enjoyable for both of you.

Thank you!! Unfortunately we are not taught in school to properly respect or appreciate how every single life has an important role. We are not taught to recognize and have empathy for things we don't understand; and that extends to a lot of things, but in this instance its to rats, snakes, spiders, insects; any and everything labeled scary and creepy.
As if these creatures’ defining feature is the ways in which they're convenient, or inconvenient to us.
“aggressive”
“unfriendly”
“ugly”
It’s an exercise in compassion and respect; and many many people fail to extend that hand to the 'ugly' and 'scary' around us. We grow up with domesticated animals and we think oh, these animals are sweet! These animals are nice to me and make Me happy! But then when faced with the creatures that do not serve them back (in the direct sense), suddenly theyre bad and mean
The harsh truth is that we are not taught to value the lives of other animals other than the ones that are sweet and cute. The ones that are easy to look at and are loving. Even cats, who are adorable, are hated by So many people because they dont like that the cat has boundaries. lol.
The ways in which we are taught to not respect consent extends to every single life on earth. We are not taught how to cue in to when a dog's body language seems distressed, and therefore doesn’t want to be petted. Dogs essentially get walked over because theyve been Bred to be forgiving and loving. Dogs are naturally loyal but they also Learn that their consent doesnt mean anything. And the animals that are loud and clear about their boundaries?
Are aggressive
Mean
Unfriendly.
For many, many people, their respect for animals ends at however convenient the animal is to them. So as soon as an animal dares to be undomesticated, and wild, it’s demonized. It’s called ugly and scary and upsetting.
We aren’t taught to love, appreciate, and respect the life around us. We arent taught the ways in which spiders and mosquitoes are VITAL to our ecosystem (And that is not in any way an exaggeration). Our compassion for so many things ends when it’s inconvenient to us. When its’s hard to look at, when it doesn’t immediately serve us. When it doesn’t cater to us and love us and forgive our every move. When it dares to have boundaries, and ask to be treated with respect.
How dare it, right? /s
Anyway this is off topic a bit from what op was getting at but i just am very passionate abt our ecosystem :’}. I hope the way we begin to view our world and the life around us begins to shift. I hope it stops getting taken for granted. I hope the proper respect, and compassion, is given to the life we are so fortunate to share an earth with.
its possible to personally dislike or fear a creature w out demonizing it. u can be afraid of and annoyed by animals like snakes and mosquitos and roaches and rats etc w out treating them like theyre inherently evil or out to get u. theyre just animals. we're just animals. whether u like it or not they live here with us and its honestly really weird that theres such a pervasive deep rooted habit of anthropomorphizing these animals just to say theyre malicious and actively trying to cause harm
#important#rant#ecosystem#animals#initially i wrote this all out in tags but i ran out of space 😭😭#i have a Lot of feelings abt the way ppl treat demonized creatures#ty again op

🔥animal conservation
god okay im putting this under a readmore bc animal death
honestly i think sooo many people are fucking stupid about the fact that animals can do will and are SUPPOSED TO die. and it really can warp the view of how people who are NOT EXPERTS (AND IM NOT EITHER!!!!!!!) view how conservation should work. like for example something like a lack of an apex predator in an area they used to live may be more convenient for the people living their or for livestock or whatever but it is really really vital that those predators are there to keep populations of other animals in check. same awy around with bugs and stuff the biosphere is an intricate and complex thing that has evolved over millions of millions of years and every part of it helps and affects everything else. and conservation should and must keep that in mind... the entire environment is important and the animals you like and want to keep around cannot exist on their own in a vaccuum at the expense of not ALSO advocating the protection and conservation of the ones u dont like. mosquito haters die btw

SO, brain said todoroki working the night shift at a cvs during the summer or something and I think this has already been done, actually (but i don’t remember it so i’m not plagiarizing).
But the absolute chaos that could string from this whole thing. He’s probably a cashier.
First off, he would be so done with this thing.
Like the weirdos who come into gas stations at 3 am are the people he has to deal with
So we have one sleep deprived todo and like 30 sketchy customers with issues
“no ma’am, the coupon isn’t valid. in fact it’s been expired since 2008″
“no sir, i can only scan one coupon per purchase, per customer”
He probably has so many of those interactions that he does, in fact, take multiple coupons at once and expired extra bucks.
Although, when its much to late for our icyhot boy, he probably messes with people on purpose just because he’s bored and too delusional to act like a sane person.
*scans card* “it won’t go through” “oh well try again” “*scans card and it goes through* it won’t go through”
*scanning a pill bottle* “you know, I heard the yakuza was using this as a front for their quirk enhancers, didn’t end well though. Turned people into giant mosquitoes. You should have seen it. Couldn’t eave my house for a month.”
Someone: *grabbing a container of ice cream*
Todo: i heard there was a lawsuit against them. something about smuggling drugs through that exact flavor. Hid it in the caramel chunks.”
If he has to suffer so do they
He also gossips with the older women.
Todoroki is the kind of guy to probably actively flirt with the manager or boss or something to get on their good side or just to get a 50 cent raise
Upgrade: he cannot flirt that well. it’s probably confusing with mixed in Spanish words (?) but the manager finds his efforts cute and somehow flattering.
He definetly bumps into a poorly disguised dabi at some point at 4 am buying cheap hair dye
Todoroki: *eye contact*
Dabi: *nervous eye contact*
Todoroki: ...
Dabi: ...
Todoroki: that’ll be 10 dollars
Dabi: but it says 6
Todoroki: its 10 dollars
*staring continues*
Dabi, who doesn’t want to make a scene: FiNe *digging around in his pocket*
The manager doesn’t tell him that they hired a new night shift shelve stalker so when he hears rustling and footsteps, he just assumes its a big rat or smth
No not a big rat
A human??
Oh uraraka
At first its kind of awkward (especially because todo got so tired of the noise he came at her with a broom and lysol; it did not end well) so they just kind of acknowledge the fact that they know each by staring at each other for minutes at a time, even when he’s checking someone out
They finally decide to talk to each other and its only chaos from there.
They race each other in baskets through the isles and replace labels on shampoo bottles
They probably sniff the perfume behind the counter and rate the smells (once todoroki stole a sample), doing bad french accents and huffing them like they were wine (that didn’t end well though because they both needed sinus medicine afterwards)
Todoroki, doing a bad french accent: ah yes, stronk, woodsy, cheap...
Uraraka: mm-hm, airy and floral, just like the fabreeze I keep in my room
Todo: this one is, yes, yes... balsomic... vinegar that is. what is this?
Uraraka: mm, bubbly and familiar. ah right, like non-toxic scented glue.
Todo: this one is-- *coughing* the worst. I do not recommend this scent, Uraraka.
They were once caught by a someone and todo gave him a dollar to keep his mouth shut
Uraraka and todoroki end up bonding or whatever in the form of pranks and chaos and end up growing closer than they thought they would
They look forward to seeing each other
What i’m trying to say here is this is romance
Todochako fam
Like right now they’re in between dating and best friends (whatever you wanna call that. Will and Grace, maybe?)
Mitsuki goes on a late night run one night and probably recognizes him as katsuki’s classmate and surprised to see him working as cashier like “dont your daddy got money??”
“yes ma’am but i despise him”
She probably goes on a rant abt katsuki and work and he just nods along and throws in a few comments about his job or whatever
“you know, you seem like a nice boy, todoroki-kun. I wouldn’t mind if you dated my son”.
“no offense, mrs. bakugou, but i would punch him.”
They become fast friends
She invites him over sometimes, at some point meets uraraka and loves her also
unfortunatly i have no more to write because i can’t think of anything else but this was fun actually :D I think this is a really fun idea so i might (or if someone else wants to) write a fic about this but idk bc i’m what the kids call “unmotivated most days” so use what you want with these.
(also, i’ve never worked at a cvs before so idk if this is accurate)
edit: i was lowkey brain dead from working on a computer all day when i wrote most of this so honestly i have no clue whats going rereading it so i apologize for the literal weirdness and parts that make no sense so i make edit it later :\
#ah this was really fun to write#shoto todoroki#todoroki shoto#uraraka ochako#ochako uraraka#bnha#boku no hero academia#mha#my hero academia#fanfiction#bnha headcannons#hc#hcs#late shift#cvs#cvs au#bnha au#au#todochako#shouchako#shochako#todoroki x uraraka#uravity#shoto x ochako#shoto todoroki x ochako uraraka#writing#fan fic#fanfic#class 1a#class 1-a

Heartless - pt. 3
XX
It has been okay. You had been okay.��
You woke up, went to wash yourself, went to breakfast, had your morning coffee, went back to your room, turned on the music, cleaned your room and went to read or draw. You had taken drawing again, sketching a bit and despite the fact you weren’t much pleased at the results, you got better through the days. Sometimes you would grab a book and drown in it, even if it wasn’t your genre but sometimes drowning yourself in a book, whose main character had a miserable life, still made you forget about yourself.
You heard laughter and ruckus down the hall, running, chasing and then barging into your room.
You didn’t even look up from your book. “Can’t the two of you knock?” you said coldly, flipping a page.
“Hey, I was thinking if you wanna go to the town with us- get some ice cream-”
“No.” you said as your finger trailed down your lines.
“Why not?” James’ smile faded as he didn’t see any reaction from you. “You’ve been stuck in this room all the time, I barely-”
“I’m feeling a bit under the weather, James. Maybe next time.” you cut him off, still not looking at him.
They were both looking at you for a few moments before backing out of your room and closing the door behind you. As you heard them leave, you took a deep sigh and closed your eyes.
You pushed the book away and laid on your stomach, just closing your eyes for a bit to rest. The pain in your lower back sometimes really exhausted you, so as you felt another strong stab, you got up, went to the bathroom and shuffled through your dad’s medical box.
You wanted to take just one pill but seeing as you always had to walk to the bathroom and then back to your room just for these pills, you just grabbed a whole bottle and left the bathroom but as you did so, you bumped into someone.
“Woopsie, daisy.” he said as he pressed his hand on your hip to prevent you from tripping over your own two feet but quickly let go as you were already standing steadily. “Sorry. Didn’t see you there.”
“It’s alright.” you brushed him off and went to your room, running your hand through your hair and yawning.
Sirius could sense something in his gut and he didn’t know what exactly it was. Trusting his gut as usual, he had decided to follow you to your room. He knocked and opened the door, finding you taking a pill and a glass of water. As you swallowed it, you grimaced, putting the glass back and looking at him with a quirk of eyebrow.
“What are you doing?” he stepped in, glancing at the box of pills.
“Drugs.” you teased, smirking at him before seeing his eyes narrow at you. “Calm down, Sherlock. It’s just some pain killers for my back.” you answered, putting your hands on your back and massaging the spots.
He walked to your night stand and took the box into his hands. “Ibuprofen?”
“Can you not touch them?” you said more sharply.
He looked at you from the corner of his eyes, observing as he gently placed the box back down. “Do you parents know your taking these?”
You let out a laugh, rolling your eyes to the back of your head as you leaned back. “Look at you big brother number two.” you continued to smile. “Bossy.”
“You’re not answer-”
“God, Sirius- I don’t owe you explanations. Yes, I told my dad I’m taking these for back pain and no they are harmless. 1- 3 pills a day and that’s it. Sometimes I even take them for my period cramps.” you stood up and started to push him out of your room. “Now, please leave me alone and go back to my family.” and with that you slammed the door into his face and leaned on it.
He felt his heart sunk, standing his ground. He heard you breathe on the other side of the door; heavily. He wanted to knock again but his hand only rested on the door. “I’m not trying to take them away from you, (y/n).” he said gently, almost apologetically. “I’m not trying to replace you.” he continued but you didn’t answer to him. He couldn’t hear you breathe as heavy but he knew you were still there, listening to him... still there on the other side of the door, holding your breath instead.
“PADS! YOU COMING?!” both of you heard James shout downstairs.
Sirius looked straight at the door, almost as if he was seeing you being there. He really wanted you to like him since the beginning he met James but you were just never interested and he didn’t know why. Why were you so hard to win over?
“PADS?!”
“Coming!” Sirius shouted, pushing himself away and taking slow steps towards the stairs. He glanced back at the door to your room and ran his hand through his hair.
Finally, as he left, you felt yourself that you could breathe again. There were so many things you wanted to say to him but you were so afraid of letting people know- just afraid that even if you said how you felt about this whole situation, of how alone and ignored you feel by the whole family that they will not listen. Because they never do listen, they never even try to understand that was why your pain, either internal or external was always kept inside of you alone.
They didn’t even want to tell you why he is here. It was like you were a child. Why were they always excluding you from everything. They said they had invited Sirius over the summer but you just didn’t believe them. You chose to just pass it by. You don’t care about Sirius, you care about yourself and that’s how it should be.
So as you glanced through the window, seeing the gorgeous sun shine among the trees, you went back to the bathroom to put some makeup on, do your hair, change clothes as you went back to your dorm and grab your sketchbook and pencils, as well as your paperback before you left.
You came down smiling, running your way to your dad and giving him your pleading grin.
He looked up from his newspaper, quirking the corner of his lips before pulling down his glasses and ask. “What is it, child?”
---
James and Sirius barged in the living room to make themselves known they are home. Laughing and pushing each other, they made their way to the kitchen to only find Euphemia on the sofa, taking a nap.
One whispering over the other, they made their way to the kitchen to find Fleamont but nobody was there. They went back to the porch and found two distant figures by the tree.
“Is that your them?” Sirius narrowed his eyes and so did James, despite he had glasses on, he still couldn’t see right.
“What are they doing?” he started walking towards the two of you, finding you laying on the net and laughing to whatever your father was telling you. “Hey, you two! We’ve been searching hills and seas for the two of you.”
Both of you turned to see at the source of voice, seeing your brother walking through the tall grass, Sirius right behind him.
“Blimey!” James beamed as he saw two nets swinging down from the tree branches. “Are those what I think they are?!” he ran to the two of you, getting between the nets, the two of you swung on and rocking the both of you.
“James, my boy. How was out in the town.” your father asked from his side. “
“Dull and boring. What about you?”
“Ah! Your sister asked me to put the nets back on since it was nice and sunny here. We’ve just been enjoying each other’s company.” he smiled, resembling James’ toothy grin.
“Alright- which one of you is gettin off?” he rocked both of you hard, almost making you lose your balance.
You laughed, grabbing James’ hand and pushing it away. “I’m not going anywhere! This is my net, get your own.”
“Don’t worry, son. I have to check up on your mother anyway.” he said as he placed his feet on the ground and stood up with a grunt.
“Getting old, old man.” James teased, throwing himself on his net as your father turned around.
“Who you calling an old man?” he said, swinging James net so hard, he almost fell off it. “When you’ll be old as me, I’ll see how you’re holding up.” he trotted away, tapping Sirius’ back as he did and whispering something into his ear.
Sirius blushed hard when your father moved away, letting out a few laughs but before you could contemplate about those secret words, you felt your brother rocking your net.
“Hey, (y/n)?” he said, placing his hands under his head but looking straight at you. “Remember when we first got these and we always used to sleep in them during summer?”
You let out a laugh, reminiscing. “Yeah. Mum always brought us blankets but when we got bitten by the mosquitos, she forbid us to sleep again.”
“She was just being paranoid.” James brushed it off, closing his eyes and rocking on the sunlight. “I almost forgot how great this feels like.”
You kept looking at him, smiling to yourself as a nostalgia washed over you. “Me too.”
Sirius silently made his way towards you, standing behind you and looking down on your sketchbook. It was a laughing sketch of your dad, laying on the net. “This is pretty good.” he said, leaning down to see a closer look.
Frightened by his sudden appearance, you felt your heart jump before realising what he had said. You looked down on the sketch and tilted your head. “Thanks but I messed up the nose.”
Sirius laughed and made his way to your feet, sitting down and then laying opposite of you. “May I?” he reached out his hand towards your sketchbook as you narrowed your eyes skeptically.
“Sure but don’t you dare ruin it or I will ruin you.” you said, giving him your sketchbook.
“No doubt about that.” he flashed you a grin, making your eyes roll. “Am I in here?” he looked up again, flipping through the pages and then closing the whole book as there was no apparence of him.
You let out a laugh, getting back your sketchbook and putting it on the ground next to you. “You wish.”
“Oh, hell. I thought girls always draw the guy they fancy.” he wiggled his eyebrows but you only laughed harder.
“Oh, you think I fancy you?”
“Dont’ you?”
“In your dreams, Black.” you continued to laugh, looking away and then back at him as he observed you with this daring look in his eyes you had never seen on him before. “Why are you staring at me?”
“Can’t I look at you now?”
“Why? So you can make fun of me?”
“You make me sound like a bad guy?”
“Aren’t you?”
“Oh, please, (y/n). I may be an arse but that doesn’t mean I’m always out there to get you.”
“A little hate dynamic between us never seems to go away.”
“Ah, so you admit you hate me.”
“I do not hate you.” you rolled your eyes again, this time to look at James, who was tightly asleep, letting it quiet snores. “I forgot he always fell asleep in these.”
Brushing off your comment about James, he leaned forward and persisted on the topic. “Yes, you do. Admit it. You hate me for no appearant reason.”
“Oh, there are plenty reasons of why I avoid you, Sirius Black.”
“Avoid me?”
“Avoid you like a plague.”
“That’s harsh.” he leaned back, furrowing his eyebrows.
“It’s a joke. Don’t take it personal.” you rolled your eyes again, which by now started to irritate him a bit. “You’re just someone I don’t like being around of. You’re not my type of company.”
“Not your type of company?” he laughed despite how much that bruised his ego.”Then what is your type?”
“I like someone who is fun but in a gentler way, without any harsh jokes about other people’s apparence or character. I like being around someone who makes me laugh, not by making fun of me but by being funny in general. Someone who will not force me to smoke or drink or force me into an uncomfortable situation. I like someone who pushes me to be better, who listens and just someone I can be myself around.” you started to trail off, stopping yourself before you could open yourself up completely.
You saw that his eyes were watching you differently again. Not like before or before that before but they were a bit... ashamed.
You felt guilt bubble in your stomach. Maybe you were too harsh to him- too blunt instead of gentle but sometimes it was really hard to engage your emotions to your words.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it to come out like that.” you looked away as he looked up at you. “I’m not trying to offend you by saying that because you aren’t all of that-”
“But I’m that to James, aren’t I?” he said, glancing at the sleeping boy next to you. “A bad influence?”
“I didn’t say that. James is old enough to make his choices of who he wants to be friends with. Maybe you are good for James and maybe he feels that- I know the two of you are close and care about each other. The two of you are perfect, if I’m honest. It’s just... you’re not my kind of cup of tea, Sirius.”
“Cup of tea- nice metaphor.” he smiled through the discomfort. Not your cup of tea... What’s that even supposed to mean? - he thought.
It was a sudden change in his emotions, feeling what he had felt; anger, fury even. How could you just say that to him- he looked at you, glaring you down as you only gave him eyes, filled with cold ice. You didn’t even show your emotions- not like you did before when your father was around. The way you laughed with him, with James- how loose and relaxed you were up until he came and suddenly you froze up like an ice cube. Why would you think of him like that? You don’t even know him- not like James knows him. You’re judgemental and think highly of yourself, don’t you?
“I’m going back in.” you said, placing your feet on the ground and seeing Sirius turn his head away from you. “Don’t hold your grudge for too long, Sirius. We’ve still got two months and a whole year at Hogwarts to spend together.”
“I’m a patient man.” he grit his teeth as you let out a laugh, ruffling his hair playfully as you passed him by.
“See you inside.” you said and started walking away, looking up at the stars that slowly started to appear on the sky.
You felt a smile turn on your face, for the first time since Sirius came, you felt a sincere smile on your cheeks. Today was a good day, despite the uncomfortable discussion between you and Sirius. Of course, you didn’t like being around him but at the same time you didn’t want to be around James either. It’s not that you hated them, it’s that you were different than them. You just didn’t like the same things as they did and sometimes you got along, sometimes you didn’t get along but you have known Sirius since you were eleven and as much as you didn’t want to admit to yourself, you cared about him. He spent more time with you and your family than he ever did with his and one thing your remembered from the night he turned at your doorstep, with those eyes that just screamed ‘keep me safe’. Yes, you were not happy at first when he came but it didn’t take a genius to see that when somebody needs to feel safe, you give them that safety. He maybe took your safety away from you by being here but what was your family supposed to do? Throw him out on the cold?
“(y/n)-” you felt somebody take a hold of your hand and you found yourself looking up in your eyes. The two of you were far away from James, far away from your house as well, right in between. “You’re limping. Are you okay?”
It was just like that. From the girl, he was not long ago pissed at, to the girl who brought him here; to caring.
“It’s my back. Laying there made it a bit uncomfortable.” you smiled- for the first time you smiled at him and you didn’t know how that happened and where it came from because you never smiled as sincerely to him as you did now. Maybe it was something in the night; below the stars and among the gentle summer breeze that made the tall grass brush your skin.
And you knew he was surprised by your smile as well, mostly because it was never directed to him.
Maybe tonight you didn’t have it in you to be cold and distant. Maybe tonight, you wanted to feel a bit warm and not alone. Just for tonight, you felt to let your guard down because it was exhausting always having it up.
“Don’t you think it’s time to go to the Healer for that back?” he smiled back.
“It’s just some muscle strain. I won’t die.”
“But I can see you hurting.” he said in a low, concerned voice that made you quirk an eyebrow at him.
Why did that feel so real?
Why did that make your heart jolt?
“Sirius Black? Caring?” you started to tease a bit, pushing him away. “Go back to James. Mosquitos are going to eat him alive out here. And I’ll see you inside.” you said and started to walk back to the house but he pulled you by the hand again.
“(y/n)-” he came close again, this time more vulnerable. If he has come this far, if he felt this was the time to tell you, then he will. What’s the worst that can happen? He dies? No- he won’t die by telling you the truth but maybe telling you the truth will make you understand and maybe... love him more.
“Yes?” you looked at him with your eyes in a playful postion, the one he is used to work with when he’s talking to you- always joking around , teasing, insulting one another. But there was something tonight that made those eyes especially beautiful and feel his heart flutter in his chest.
“The reason I’m here...” he said, placing your hand inbetween his palms. “And I’m not telling you to feel pity towards me- or any sorts of self-”
“Sirius?” you furrowed your eyebrows. You weren’t use to this- to him being real and tonight, he was all but that. “What is it?” you spoke softly.
The softness of your voice felt like a gentle caress to his ears. Oh, how wonderful it felt with your voice so soft- like a petal on a flower and he was that flower, who needed that petal.
“I’m here because I ranaway from home- I... uh... I got disowned and before they went any further- I-uh- I ran.” he looked up at your eyes, finding them softly looking at him and somehow, that felt even better than hearing the softness of your voice. Now he felt like your eyes were caressing his soul, holding it, being so close to it, it made him float. You got that power over him. Everything he held, resided in your eyes- that’s how he felt because you were the only one he knew, who could make him feel like that... the only one on his mind from tonight on.
You put your hand on his cheek that slowly started to grow hair, a rough stubble scratching your palm. He leaned into it, feeling just how warm you felt, just how perfect your touch was on his. “And you came here..” you smiled as he looked at you with a bit terrified eyes. “Because this is where you’re safe.” you smiled even wider and he smiled as well, this time with relief.
“Yeah.” he put his hand on top of yours, taking it closer to his lips and kissing it.
It made your heart to another jolt, your stomach twirl inside of you.
“Thank you for understanding.” he said, looking at you with those grey eyes that felt so blue in the night.
You pulled him into a close embrace, stepping on your tiptoes as you did and pulling him down. “Thank you for telling me.”
He wrapped his arms around you, lifting you up until your toes didn’t feel the ground underneath. His head was buried in your neck and his nose could smell the wonderful coconut cream you use every day. He could devour it if he could hug you every day like this.
How he prayed to the stars above that this is a start to a new beginning...

To Anon
Question: Yeolmaes hate baekhyun mostly because his stans are the ones sending most hate to chanyeol and baekhyun never said anything about it, instead he kinda validated their feelings by not showing up to the box premiere, avoiding mentioning him at all costs and straight up saying he doesnt like musical movies Understand that yeolmaes have to deal with hundreds of hate messages written in Korean everyday and they are at a breaking point considering most of them come from bbh’s own fans How is it possible to like chanyeol and baekhyun at the same time in a situation like this? Do you even take chanyeol feelings into consideration? No? Not even once? He has to deal with thousands of nasty comments coming from bbh fanbase while bbh comes on Twitter reminding them how cute they are and how much he loves them If you cbkists choose to ignore this and baekhyun is actually in a relationship with Pcy it just means that you all couldn’t give less of a shit about chanyeol as a person with feelings and are just a bunch of selfish pricks
Answer: Anon...sighs you can't see something from one point of view only really, but it's okay i get you, ok so let us talk about this one by one: 1. You said: Yeolmaes hate baekhyun the most because his stans are the ones sending most hate to chanyeol and baekhyun never say anything about it -When you perceive the assumption that baekhyun stans hate chanyeol the most, did u believe it right or did u question it, like why its baekhyun stans, if its true then since when they started hating chanyeol, and why do they hate chanyeol, does their reason make sense or its just stupid like how other bbhls who hate other exo members too (for example some bbhls hate jd bcs both are main vocalists and they think jd is stealing bh's spot as a vocalist) -But at the same time, we cant find the exact number that would proof that bbhls are the ones who hate chanyeol the most, we only can see what twitter shows us, and it happened to me too that i see bbhls throw hate to chanyeol the most -But at the same time too, I've been seeing yeolmaes who throw hate at baekhyun too since years ago without me knowing the reason why they do that, and I keep questioning it everytime why yeolmaes suddenly started hating baekhyun so bad, when did it start -AND at the same time too, I've been seeing other exo member stans throwing hate to either baekhyun or chanyeol -But my twitter algorithm is the same as you anon, it shows that bbhls hate chanyeol the most and yeolmaes hate baekhyun the most, so I do often make the assumption that bbhls and yeolmaes are always on each other's throat -But yet again, I don't know who started hating the first time, is it bbhls, is it yeolmaes, and why they did that -This knowledge is unknown to me so based on this, to me the most right way is to think that both sides are wrong because hating is always the worse way to deal with things, the fact that we know is chanyeol and baekhyun are good friends they are always there for each other, usually when ppl see im saying this they will say its fake and its fan service, but people can choose to not see what they dont wanna see, so the easiest proofs to prove that chanyeol and baekhyun are good friends is one chanyeol is the only member in exo that baekhyun wished happy birthday on his instagram, two both of them support each other for candy and 1 billion views by coming to the mv bts, three baekhyun and chanyeol go to vocal lessons together, four chanyeol had taken a photo with all of baekhyun's bucheon friends before so in that photo baekhyun, chanyeol, and baekhyun's bucheon friends (istg if people see these as fan service then it doesnt make sense right?)
Before we go to the next thing, I have this assumption that chanyeol and baekhyun are two members that have the highest popularity in sk, either they are the top 3 or top 4, and my reason is bcs everytime there are individual album/photobook covers sold offline, their individual covers sold out the fastest, everytime, even with nature republic stuffs, ok so there's this possibility that we keep seeing yeolmaes and bbhls on each other's throat everytime bcs well both of them are two of the most popular exo members in SK (i mean even in china, chanyeol and baekhyun are the most popular members with sehun, there's data for this)
2. You said: Baekhyun never say anything about this, he kinda "validated their feelings by not showing up to the box premiere and voiding mentioning him at all costs and straight up saying he doesnt like musical movies"
-First of all, let's look at a bigger picture, is there any idol in the k-industry like ANY IDOL that ever said to their fans "guys don't say that to my member" IS THERE. ANY.? what I know is: there is none, none at all zero zip nothing, and if there's at least one or two idols, then its just one or two idols right -And thats it anon, thats just about it, idols dont have the absolute freedom of speech, they never do, and its hurting them all of them, all they can say is: "I love EXO, I miss EXO members the most, EXO is my home" and most solo stans who see that will just say "its bs" yet solo stans are also asking for proofs that the members relationship are fine -None of these kpop idols ever say anything about hate speech from their fans that are thrown to their friends/bandmates, and this kind of thing happens in every fandom anon, not just chanyeol and baekhyun, it's just how korean entertainment industry is, idols never have the ultimate freedom to say or do anything
3. Not showing up to the box premiere, avoiding mentioning him, saying he doesnt like musical movies -That not showing up to the box premiere really changed the way you think huh anon, yeah I think that event also changed many yeolmaes' perspectives sighs okay, not showing up to the box premiere is like a very open information we can easily see it from one tweet that didnt mention baekhyun name during that event -BUT for other cases "avoid mentioning him" and "saying he doesnt like musical movies" is not a very open information, by this i mean u have to read alllll of the things baekhyun say, look at the trans for all of his vlives/shows/etc, read the whole trans for baekhyun's last vlive before he goes to the military, so u or other yeolmaes after that situation are either trying to "search for baekhyun's act or words that deny fans opinion about how they hate each other" bcs u still "have hope in baekhyun" or "search for baekhyun's act or words that support my perspective about how he hates chanyeol and never defend cy from bbhls" -"Validate their feelings" how? once again, it's just what bbhls think, did baekhyun do and say all of that because well "his motive is to support bbhls that hate chanyeol" and who are you, who are we to say that, are we our bias? can we go inside their minds and goes aha! this is why they do this and that! well no. because once again thats the entertainment industry, the chances for idols to "explain" all of the bad situations esp when its about how their fans act, is very veryyy low, or like the chance is even minus
-We are just fans who watch them on cam, without knowing what's on their mind or what is everything they are going through behind the camera, we know nothing, all of our opinions are just perspective that our mind created that turned into assumptions, we could never know the truth because kpop industry prevents their artist from showing the truths that may "hurt" people, who actually deserve to be hurt, but those people are the "money makers" for the company, it's bad it's toxic it's awful that just bcs they have to "maintain the money makers" idols can never get that freedom -Same goes with baekhyun, gdi we dont know him, we really really dont know him, his mind, his motives and reasons for his actions, who are we to judge him and call him selfish? -But what we know is baekhyun helping to defend chanyeol when that fake rumor was spreading by tweeting the mosquito thing, what we know is baekhyun and chanyeol doing their choreo for DFTF together that was practiced since early 2021 until before they enlist, what we know is baekhyun saying chanyeol he's fine when fans asked on japanese fansign, what we know is them still doing vocal lessons together, going to vocal lesson tgt too on march after the box premiere (bcs chanyeol's hair was grey in the vlog) before they enlist, what we know is baekhyun loving and singing "tomorrow" tgt with chanyeol, so what we know is they keep spending time with each other as bandmates and friends
"do you ever take chanyeol's feeling into consideration, you all couldnt give less of a shit about chanyeol as person with feelings and are just a bunch of selfish pricks" 1. Baekhyun tweeting that mosquito tweet to defend chanyeol -Responses>> People went: oh he's just defending himself, he's being selfish once again, he doesnt care about chanyeol 2. Baekhyun answering fans question about chanyeol's condition -Responses>> No one translated this after few days OP has translated Original post Jan 29: https://twitter.com/tomo_exo/status/1355177834185064451?s=20 First ever translation on FEB 13 (AND FROM A CBKIST): https://twitter.com/NTH_2705/status/1360626904756228096?s=20 Also this cbkist isnt always active translating, I know her, she's not on Twitter as much as other trans account and she doesnt understand japanese, so she actually found the post on weibo and translated it from chinese thats why it was translated 2 weeks after, but before her? does ANY account translate this? well no. 3. Baekhyun and Chanyeol doing choreo in DFTF tgt -No BTS, no anything from SM, people who hate seeing them tgt can ignore easily, chanbaek stans can only watch the part over and over 4. Baekhyun and Chanyeol practicing their hitting the woah part in just usual mv -Again no one commented about this, except chanbaek stans bcs this is easily ignored 5. Lesson With Baekhyun -Responses>> yeolmaes went "chanyeol don't do this, chanyeol im not watching this, chanyeol what are you doing, i want chanyeol only, oh god why is chanyeol with him again, chanyeol is feeding chanbaekist, his fans (bbhls) gonna come at us again, fuck this im not watching" and bbhls went "the translation is wrong look theyre trying to sabotage bbh" and yeolmaes replied with "good for him haha, ya serves him right for being selfish" and also "why is it always chanyeol who does this kind of thing and never baekhyun? oh right because hes selfish hes sm golden boy he never gonna do this bcs his channel is own by SM" "look he promoted kyoongtube even in the nng" "look SM posted kyoongtube but not NNG u can see whos the mistreated one him"
All of those 5 things I mentioned, even tho some are small things....they got mostly negative responses from yeolmaes and bbhls who are not cbkist dont they? The things that prove chanyeol and baekhyun are always there for each other and they are bandmates, true friends, nothing change between them And yet, what did bbhls and yeolmaes do? Throw negative shits and comments to those things, esp Lesson With Baekhyun, and until now still hate Baekhyun... when Lesson With Baekhyun, is a vlog recorded by Chanyeol alone, he taped his phone in the car, he added Candy MV BTS with Baekhyun calling him "chanyeol ah" and baekhyun smiling while holding the food, a vlog where he praised baekhyun's vocals, prepared playlist for him, sing tomorrow together with him, laughing during their vocal lesson, and just...doing things tgt
And yet people still call it a fanservice? feeding chanbaekist? baekhyun is still selfish? when chanyeol worked hard preparing that vlog, providing it for us, baekhyun and chanyeol practicing their part tgt for DFTF, baekhyun tweeting the mosquito tweet
When Chanyeol and Baekhyun have done so many things together, after the fake rumor, after the box premiere, proving they are still good friends... so do you even take chanyeol's feelings into consideration? oh wait not just feelings, his efforts, his time, him uploading to NNG about him hanging out with Baekhyun, have you ever take that to consideration? or just ignore all those facts because "whatever i still hate baekhyun"
So two options: 1. Hating and keep hating and telling others selfish because yall hate the fact that baekhyun never do this and that, that yall wanted him to do, but actually we don't know the reason why, we just don't know anything at all, accept assumptions that "baekhyun validated fans feeling" and thats according to you, your mind, your perspective, oh wait... it's all about you? 2. Know and accept and support and love, chanyeol and baekhyun's friendship, because thats what we know, thats what themselves say to us, thats what themselves been doing, accepting the fact that "chanyeol and baekhyun are good friends" and know we are not in the position to turn the friendship into bad relationship bcs what? bcs it comes from chanyeol and baekhyun themselves, not yeolmaes, not bbhls, not even exols, and so be a fan that know chanyeol and baekhyun have good relationship, keep reporting bbhls who said bad things about cy and vice versa, bcs what? we never want chanyeol to see that after lesson with baekhyun, apparently his "fans" still think baekhyun, his best friend and bandmate, is still a selfish person who doesnt care about chanyeol, so chanyeol is happy that we know and appreciate his relationship with baekhyun, with exo members because we care about chanyeol's feelings, because we trust his actions, his words, and we love everything he does, and also we love everyone around chanyeol that he loves
So choose... and last thing, are social media and on cam interactions, are enough to "measure" a group of people's relationships, so if your best friend never post any picture of you on their instagram and never tell stories about you to other people who well, actually are also strangers, living thousand miles away from you and your best friend, then it's okay for those strangers to say that your best friend hates you? avoiding to be affiliated with you? a selfish person? Have people ever think that it's tiring that just because you're a celebrity, you have to show everything, including minds, feelings, emotions, actions, personal reasons, to your fans? For them to be validated? And for them to turn into facts? Well, at least for me, the things I don't know then I don't know, I don't have the right to judge, and the things I know, especially positive things, that came from my own idols, that's what I'm holding on, that's what I support. *extra note: exo members always call us as EXO-Ls, not bbhls, not yeolmaes, not anyone, but EXO-Ls, so when they say they love us, "loved ones" are those who say themselves are EXO-Ls, who loves EXO as 9 members, because that's the fact
Have a good day anon, stay safe and healthy, God bless you, spread love and not hate

Spooktober prompt: Vampires
So AU where vampires are a very real threat, but they’re more so a menace. Their bite is very much like a mosquito bite: it doesn’t do much harm other than leave a very itchy bump afterwards.
“Man, these mosquitos are killer,” Taemin complains one day, scratching at a large bite in his neck. “Every week! I thought they were only a summer pest?”
Kibum, Taemin’s boss, just stares at Taemin and sighs, leaning against the cubicle wall.
“Taemin,” he says slowly, shaking his head. “Are you really that oblivious?”
“What?” Taemin asks, turning in his chair to look at him. “Did I forgot to send an email or something?”
“That’s not a mosquito bite, dumbass, it’s a vampire bite,” Kibum tells him. Then, from the cubicle behind him, they hear Minho poorly conceal a snort.
“What?” Taemin laughs. “No it’s not. It’s just a mosquito-”
“Every Friday, you come in with a new bite,” Kibum tells him. “Every Friday, you come in with a giant vampire bite that you scratch at incessantly all day, and it’s gone by Monday. Just like a vampire bite. And then on Friday you get a new one.”
“That makes no sense-”
“So something you’re doing every Thursday night either puts you in the direct path of vampires, or one of your friends is a vampire and you’re too oblivious to realize it,” Minho chimes in.
“Every Thursday I go to happy hour with you losers,” Taemin scoffs. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”
“It’s not us,” Kibum laughs. “It must be one of your friends.”
“That’s impossible,” Taemin says, crossing his arms. “Vampires have to tell you they’re vampires.”
“No they don’t,” Minho snorts. “Who told you that?”
“It’s like, a law!” Taemin argues. “They have to tell you!”
“They’re not cops,” Kibum laughs. “They dont have to tell you anything.”
“I’m pretty sure it’s a law.”
“I’m pretty sure you’re just oblivious,” Kibum teases. “Tell me your Thursday schedule. Where do you go?”
“I go to work. I go to happy hour. I go home,” Taemin says, waving his arms and making weird hand gestures. “So unless someone here is a vampire, it’s just a mosquito bite.”
“Next week’s happy hour is at Taemin’s house!” Kibum announces.
“That’s stupid!” Taemin whines. “My roommate-”
“Is probably a vampire.”
“Jinki is not a vampire, he would have told me.”
“Are you so sure?”
“I can’t have happy hour at my apartment,” Taemin whines. “You guys are insane.”
“I’ll bring wine,” Kibum says, patting Taemin’s shoulder to go back to his own cubicle.
“It’s just a mosquito bite!”
The next Thursday, Taemin somehow managed to take a wrong turn on his way to his own apartment, so he’s the last one to show up. So when he’s walking up the steps and unlocking the door, his entire team is snickering behind him: Kibum, Minho, Baekhyun, and Taeyong.
“Hey Jinki!” Taemin calls, tripping over the threshold. “My work friends are here for happy hour!”
“Oh, right, hi,” Jinki, Taemin’s roommate, greets from the couch. He even waves his hand a little.
“We’re gonna order pizza, you want any?” Taemin asks, clearing off the table to put the wine and beer and all the different glasses down.
“Yeah, thanks,” Jinki says, going to help Taemin get the clean wine glasses and beer glasses down from the cupboard. “Just, ya know, remember no garlic.”
“Oh! Right,” Taemin gasps, then turns to glare at his snickering coworkers. “Jinki’s just allergic, you dicks.”
Jinki raises an eyebrow, gently setting the wine glasses on the table.
“They think you’re a vampire,” Taemin says, snorting.
“Uh, Taemin?” Jinki says carefully. “I am a vampire.”
“What?”
Everyone else starts laughing loudly, but Taemin is just genuinely confused. Jinki looks just as confused as he does.
“But you never told me!” Taemin accuses. “Vampires have to tell people they’re vampires!”
“Uh, no they don’t?” Jinki asks. “But I did tell you. It was literally in the ad for this apartment.”
“No it wasn’t?”
“I said you had to be vampire-friendly,” Jinki says slowly.
“I mean, I thought you just meant not being prejudiced,” Taemin stammers. “And I’m not!”
“I also said that you had to be cool with me drinking once a week,” Jinki says. “That if you were cool with me drinking from you it was a huge plus?”
Taemin is just stammering and stuttering and not able to find the right words.
“I said B-positive blood type was preferred. That alone should have clued you in,” Jinki says, sitting down at the table and holding up his chin in his hand.
“I thought you meant like, just being a positive person!” Taemin cries, and the others are all cackling and laughing at him. “I thought it was slang!”
“You are B-positive though, funnily enough,” Jinki laughs. But then he becomes rather serious and sits straight up. “Taemin, I’ve asked you every week since you moved in if I could drink from you. Every Thursday. And you always say yes.”
“I don’t remember this at all!”
“Thursdays are also always happy hour day,” Kibum says, tapping his chin as he stirs his wine. “Just how sober is he when he gets home?”
Then it’s Jinki’s turn to stutter and turn to Taemin and say, “You do always drink more when you get home. But - but we had an agreement! It’s in the lease!”
“I didn’t read the lease!” Taemin whines. “And I don’t get that drunk!”
“I wouldn’t - I would never just drink from someone without permission,” Jinki says quickly, looking at all of them. “I have blood bags just in case he says no, but he’s never - he always says yes! I thought he knew!”
“Oh,” Taemin suddenly says very quietly, very softly. And his cheeks turn bright pink and he sucks in a gasp of a breath. “Is that when we - um - when we, uh - in your room-”
“Uh-huh,” Jinki says just as quickly.
“Oh.”
Taemin’s entire face, neck, and ears are bright pink. Jinki doesn’t look half as embarrassed as he is, but it’s clear he doesn’t like talking about it in front of so many people.
“What did I tell you?” Kibum laughs, clapping a hand on Taemin’s shoulder. “Oblivious. You’ve been screwing a vampire and you didn’t even know it!”
“We do not screw!” Taemin squeaks.
“Are we getting pizza?” Jinki asks quickly, rising from the table to go look through their drawer of takeout and delivery menus.
And they don’t screw. Not at all. They just makeout for a while, both of them usually a little tipsy and a little more than happy to lay in Jinki’s bed and just cuddle for a while. The first time Jinki ever drank from him, Taemin actually thought it was a weird hickey.
Kibum gives him shit for it at work for at least another month. But every time he comes in with a vampire bite now, it’s somehow so much more embarrassing. He wonders if he can get Jinki to switch to drinking on Fridays instead.

Lucas' Guide to to Railfanning for First Time Railfans
Have you thought of picking up the railfan hobby? Whether you're fixation on a musical about trains or your bored/looking for a new activity to give you a chance to go outside and practice some good old fashioned amateur photography here's what you should know as a first time railfan
Disclaimer: This was written with American railfans in mind. International readers should learn the rules for their area. I said that the engineer is always on the right, but this is not the case for all countries like the UK where the engineer is seated on the left side of the cab.
The thing that you must always keep in mind is that trains are dangerous. It's not like the trains are out to get you, they're just very strong and difficult to control compared to other vehicles. If you somehow end up in the way of a train YOU WILL ALWAYS LOSE. Rule of thumb, If you can see the train, the train won't be able to stop before it reaches you. Rolling stock are specifically designed to maximize speed by minimizing friction. This is accomplished by metal wheels on greased metal rails. Rails and rolling stock are designed to be difficult to stop. If an engineer is forced into emergency breaking, the train has a greatly increased derailing risk.
That's the other thing you should remember. Derailing doesn't just occur when a train hits a curve too fast, it can happen at any time going as slow as 25mph. Getting hit by rolling stock or debris in a derailment can seriously injure or kill you. When railfanning don't stand too close to the tracks for this reason. You should allow AT LEAST 10ft of clearance between you and the train.
I'll let this being me into my "must haves" for railfanning:
-camera: obviously if you wish to take photos and/or video you need a camera, a phone with a clear, working camera is fine as well.
-tripod: remember what I said about distance from the tracks? Well sometimes your good shot is a bit on the close side to the tracks. In this case a tripod is a great solution. If something happens, worse case is you need to replace a broken tripod and camera/phone.
-Radio transceiver: A must have if you are looking to catch freight trains. It’s a good thing to have even if you only watch passenger trains, but since there’s no other way to really keep track of freight trains, they are a game changer. When dealing with radios, remember that it is illegal to talk to railroad personnel via radio. Listen only dont talk.
-Florescent safety vest or other brightly colored article: Good thing to have when shooting from trackside. Basically, trespassers who may put themselves in danger in front of an approaching train don’t wear florescent outerwear. It’s a good way to communicate to the crew of an approaching train that you intend to stay a safe distance away from the track.
-Dress for the weather: this does not just mean wearing weather appropriate clothing. Always bring thinks like sunscreen and insect repellent with deet to avoid sunburn and keep ticks and mosquitoes off. Take it from me. Ticks don’t like me, I work on a farm and walk through tall grass all day, haven’t found a tick on me yet, but I walked through a tiny patch of taller grass while out railfanning and managed to pick up two American dog ticks. You are not immune to the hostile elements when railfanning. Make sure to wear closed toed shoes, preferably with ankle support.
-Car charger and/or battery pack: If you use your phone as a camera, you want to make sure you have plenty of juice. Not just for footage, but in case of emergency, you don’t want to be dealing with a dead phone.
Basic safety rules:
-Rule number one is never trespass. Always stay a safe distance away from the tracks and trains (at least 10ft from the tracks). Remember, a train can derail at any time. Respect trains.
-If you see something, say something. Know the track ownership and contact the railroad police if you see a trespasser or hazard on the track during your outing. If a railroad crossing gate is not functioning, there usually is a number on the crossing gate which you can contact to report the malfunction.
-To further elaborate on the no trespassing rule, never stand, sit, or lay down on track for any reason, esp not photographing. I can’t help but cringe when I see people snapping “aesthetic” pictures on functioning railroad tracks (if the tracks are abandoned, and you have confirmed that they are abandoned, just be careful as tracks can have loose spikes and other hazards you can injure yourself on, but go ahead, otherwise stay off!). Even if you don’t think a train is coming there can be freight trains, test runs, track switches, or other such things that can surprise you. You may think trains are not stealthy, but you’ll be surprised on how trains can sneak up on you.
-You would not bank your life on your toaster’s ability to make breakfast, so don’t assume that devices such as railroad crossing gates and signals at stations to always be accurate, as always stay off the tracks and always assume a train could be coming through at any moment. When driving through a railroad crossing, stop, look, and listen if you can. If someone’s riding your tail and you can’t, at least reduce speed and roll down your windows so you can check to make sure the crossing is safe from any approaching trains. If you can hear an approaching horn, stop, even if the gates aren’t going down yet. When the lights start flashing, stop before the white line in front of the gates always. Be extra cautious in a no horn zone as you won’t be able to hear an approaching train as easily.
-Never play chicken with trains. If you witness someone doing so, tell them to get their soggy ass off the tracks. Reminder that making a train go into emergency increases it’s likelihood of derailing.
Remember to be courteous to railroad crews:
-Body language is an important key to the positive communication and relationship between crews and railfans. When I mentioned the tripod and vest, these are great tools for this method of communication. Bear in mind, the average engineer will have their train strike a pedestrian once in their career. Trains run on tracks and always have the right of way so when it’s train vs trespasser, it’s never the engineers fault, but it doesn’t make the event less traumatic. You wearing fluorescent outerwear and using a tripod sets you apart as a railfan, putting the crew at ease that you are not about to run out in front of the train. As far as body language goes, When a train is approaching, step into the engineer’s line of sight maintaining a safe distance from the track (the engineer always sits on the right. Then, take a several steps back to communicate to the engineer that you don’t intend to run onto the track. When the lead vehicle is passing (engine or cab car) wave to the crew members, not only does this show that you are a railfan rather than a trespasser, a friendly engineer or other crew member will wave back and/or sound the horn for you (this is called a “horn show” and it’s one of my favorite things to experience as railfan)
-When standing at a platform, occupy one of the farthest ends. Passengers looking to take the train will typically stand toward the middle. Standing on the ends will better indicate that you are a spectator and don’t intend to board.
-If you are actually a passenger but also want to get some shots of the train you are riding, wait until you have reached your destination to take pictures. Either your train could end up departing without you, or you could cause a holdup if you manage to make the train wait for you. Remember that running railroads is a complex endeavor and seconds matter. If you cause a hold up for one train, you are influencing the timing of many more even for other lines besides the one you are boarding.
Now that you know how to be safe and courteous when railfanning, here are some tips for finding good spots.
When trying to locate good railfanning spots, there are several things to consider. These include:
-If you have to drive, where will you park? You have to pay to park at most stations, though some allow free parking on weekends. If it’s not a station it may be even harder to find a parking spot.
-When scoping out your spot use google street view to figure out the best place to go for shots (this can help with parking too). Using a map of the railroad systems will help you find stations, crossings, bridges, and yards, but using street view will help you figure out if these spots are easily accessible and good spots for taking shots.
-Look for other railfans in your area, some will tag locations, or even just the towns which they saw the trains they photographed. If you’re interested in what is there, try to scope that spot out or somewhere near there.
-Railfan forums are a great way to find spots and also know when an interesting engine or other rolling stock is out. If you see something interesting, other fans in your area will appreciate you sharing it.
How to identify rolling stock:
It’s okay if you have no idea how to identify rolling stock right off the bat. There’s a simple way to figure it out. All you need to do it look up the company and number, or look up the company’s roster, and figure out based on the number index. Railfanning is a lot about learning as you go so dont feel like you need to be an expert on trains to pick the hobby up. Really it's a great hobby if you enjoy learning new things, esp about the local history, and transport of people and goods of your area. Happy railfanning! Have fun, and most importantly STAY SAFE

So...since I’m guessing you live in Florida I need to know. (Tiny backstory I’m uhhh...humanising the states if that makes since. Think of hetalia but the state instead of countries. I know cringe right?) Anyway I need you full opinion of said state if you don’t mind of course. I would like to know the good and the bad (if you have any good things to say about it. btw I’m sorry this is pretty long...)
Pros of florida: nothing
cons: everything
Jk ill do my best to find a couple positives but you should really find someone who actually likes living in florida. i am very clearly biased.
Also thats not cringe! sounds like fun. I made an ohio oc before, they’re fun to make.
florida opinions below the cut
So the one thing i can say is undoubtably a plus is there are these extremely cute little lizards that run around everywhere and they’re especially prevalent in thee summer and you see them just basking on the sidewalk. they’re like the length of your pointer finger with an extra 3 inches of tail and i love taking pictures of them bc they have cool colors and stripes or spots.
things that most people would consider pros but i dont:
extremely hot. I live in the upper half so it does, occasionally, get below freezing in the winter, but if you lived down more south it probably wouldn’t ever freeze. this is probably why old people live here they get colder easier. some people just don’t like cold. i do, i love it. anyway. you can grow things for a lot longer, and even at night it’ll be like 70 degrees. it’ll be down to 50 degrees at night in winter usually. there isn’t really seasons, its just 2 months of reasonable (to me) weather that feels like, something like spring in northern states. then the next 10 months are just hell. so hot. but other people would call it great.
Sunny almost all the time. sunlight is nice occasionally but down here it beats down on you like you owe it money. you will be easily sunburned if you spend 2 hours in direct sunlight. i like me some nice thunderstorms here it just rains.
beaches. yeah sure there are beaches. i will admit the white sand is very pretty and doesnt actually burn your feet bc it reflects light better, the water is also the very pretty light blue or green you see in pictures. but beaches have people and sand and it gets old after a while.
cons:
humid af. like. its at least above 75 % at all times. humidity is disgusting and nasty and in summer you sweat within 30 seconds of going outside. even if the temp is a rare reasonable 70 or something its usually overshadowed by the 90% humidity that makes you sweat anyway. if you paint something its entirely likely it’ll never completely dry bc its just so fking humid here. you can barely do anything outside bc within like 30 min your main thought is how to get tf out out of the heat and you definitely cannot concentrate.
no sense of community and too many people. people move here for vacation and the place where i live, for example is a spring break/vacation town and so the traffic gets horrible every spring and summer. the roads are fucked too bc its so hot the tar in the asphalt is more liquidy and moves and potholes and such appear more often. no sense of community means that there’s no YMCA, the public libraries are very small and not great and its so hard to talk to people and make friends bc many people are here to party it seems like. there are plenty of pubs and places to fish and boat and those arcade places where everythings expensive but those get old and expensive quick and none of those are really my thing.
expensive af. theres little inlets and swamps and bays everywhere which means bridges, which means maintinence, which means toll roads, which means fucked up intersections bc of space restritctions and shit planning. seriously these are the worst fucking intersections i’ve ever seen. also houses and rent are high because again, space is limited, and everyone wants something within reach of the beach or the bay or the inlet.
its just straight up nasty. and dangerous. there’s a fair amount of car crashes here, i think i’ve seen more in my 4 years here than i have in my 20+ years in ohio. as for nasty there are fucking roaches everywhere, they will get in your house even if its clean. people here just accept it too “yeah they do that” BITCH WHAT. AND YOU JUST PUT UP WITH THAT. there are also plenty of other bugs that are nice and big and prevalent bc there’s no winter or cold to stop them from growing. mosquitos are everywhere. i havent seen any gators really but i know theres plenty. there’s also bears.
in conclusion i might like this place better if i liked partying, fishing, boating, going to the beach often, going to pubs a lot, but i dont and even if there were things i liked doing here the heat and humidity would still make me hate it.
