perhaps.... if it is not asking too much... you could explain each taylor swift song u chose for the andreil playlist? 🥺👉👈

you BET i can!!!! (THIS IS SO LATE IM SORRY) i don’t think i’ll be able to go thru all of the songs since it’s like a 2hr playlist, but i’ll try my best!

i’m gonna be honest most of the songs on this playlist don’t have a super deep meaning for me?? a lot of them just have one or two lines or just a vibe that makes me think of andreil and i was like BAM! UR GOING IN THE PLAYLIST. there are a bunch that i have spent wayyy to long thinking about tho, and others that for me seem obvious why it’s a certified Andreil Song.

1. red

sorry for adding breakup songs to my andreil playlist it was necessary ok. “loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street” need i say more? for the whole “ending so suddenly” part - andrew expects neil to leave at one point (at least in tkm), also andrew does lose neil at one point even if only for a short while

2. treacherous

EVERYTHING about this song is perfection and also major andreil vibes!!! seriously go through the lyrics there are a lot of andreil lines (“i hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay”) especially the bridge!! late night car drives after a nightmare..!!!

3. king of my heart

ok tbh this is one of the songs that i just put because 1) it’s a love song so.. and 2) it has one really good andreil lyric: “up on the roof with a school girl crush” there are other songs that mention being on the roof that i added, like cornelia street (which i already talked about why it’s such a great andreil song) a lot of the other reputation songs i added for similar reasons or they just fit the vibe. also “your love is a secret i’m dying to keep” 🥺🥺

4. long story short

it’s just. going thru a bunch of trauma and eventually finding home in a person <3

5. paper rings

ok i think i’ve talked about this a bit?? basically the bridge is very andreil: “i want to drive away with you / i want your complications too”

6. peace

love won’t “fix” them or heal their trauma but they’re both there for each other. just. a lot of andreil lyrics.

7. delicate

early relationship andreil. them sharing truths with each other and getting to be honest for the first time. “is it cool that i said all that? / is it chill that you’re in my head?”

8. lover

this one might be a bit obvious but this song makes me cry like a baby so i’m gonna talk about it. other than it being about having a stable relationship with the person you could spend the rest of your life with, taylor talked about how this line “with every guitar string scar on my hand / i take this magnetic force of a man / to be my lover” is about loving someone despite their scars/what they’ve been thru and. yeah

9. cruel summer

i take this song to be about learning all about someone in a new relationship, which is also why i have willow in this playlist. both of these songs have knife imagery which is *chefs kiss* for andreil

10. dancing with our hands tied

the fear that your relationship won’t survive because your life is a mess and people are out to get you. i have to mention this lyric: “i’m a mess but i’m the mess that you wanted” which like,,,,,

11. stay stay stay

*clears throat* yOU TOOK THE TIME TO MEMORIZE ME MY FEARS MY HOPES MY DREAMS I JUST WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU ALL THE TIME. ALL THOSE TIMES THAT YOU DIDNT LEAVE ITS BEEN OCCURING TO ME I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU FOR MY WHOLE LIFE. yeah

12. mine

andreil coffee shop au anyone?

13. cowboy like me

GODDD this song is so good. soulmate energy. forever is the sweetest con. fuck yeah. andreil could slow dance to this song

14. new years day

something about “please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh i could recognize anywhere” just screams andreil

15. wildest dreams

hey remember when neil thought he was going to die and just hoped that andrew would remember him the way he remembered andrew? me too

16. the other side of the door

sorry i put a breakup song about j*hn m*yer in the playlist but hear me out. while andreil usually has amazing communication, i think andrew is the type of person who would push people away to hurt himself. also the whole i wish i didn’t need you thing is very andrew imo

17. jump then fall

YOU GOT THE KEYS TO ME

18. state of grace

neither of them expected to find love/a home in each other but they did <3 i never saw you coming; i’ll never be the same indeed

19. come back…be here

long distance andreil. also the whole “i don’t wanna need you this way” thing again :( not wanting to admit how much they mean to each other; how much they couldn’t stand losing the other

okay that’s all i’m gonna get thru in this post. i hope this is what you were looking for? if you have any specific songs that you want me to talk about you can ask any time :)

#hope you liked this anon!!#songz #sorry it’s so late!!!!!#andreil #aftg #sorry #ask

hello everyone! I got an ask from an anon asking for tips on time management so i decided to type this out before school starts heheh…

poor time management and procrastination, unfortunately, plague just about all of us lol. people with a short attention span (like me) and who are pretty much always on their phone (me again) and who hate scheduling are the most susceptible to these.

over the years i struggled with time management(studying the night before the exam 🤙🏼) but! these are some tips that have helped me in scheduling, avoiding procrastination and improving time management.

1. Write it down

as always, we’re starting with BEFORE the actual task. write all tasks, assignments, projects and homework, test dates down somewhere (notebook preferably so that you dont lose it. it doesn’t have to be your bujo and you do not have to start a bujo for this specific reason!!!) and write the deadlines. this is subconscious pressure to do work once you get home. also, since you can see everything, it’s easier to schedule it out later

2. Use travel time

i cannot stress this enough!!!! sorry that it appears in all my tips posts but it truly is very useful. for short commutes, review the content you’ve learnt so that when you start on your homework, you’ve already got the hang of it. ie you dont struggle to understand the chapter and be put off from finishing your work because you hate it. long commutes can be used to complete work itself. i like to place some books and a file under my worksheet while i write (if i have a seat lol) or you can take this time to plan your time in greater detail

3. Actually plan your time

you dont have to fancy it up with like, brush pens and highlighters. just do something on google sheets or excel. divide the day into appropriate blocks of time.

for me, since i use a focus timer (50+10 or 100+20, rare cases i do 120 with a long break after that) i keep my days in 1hr blocks. so i’d block in about 1hour after i reach home to chill, clean up and so on, 2hrs for homework and the remaining time can be divided by hour/2hours to complete my work. you can tweak the timings to work for you but so far this one suits me pretty well.

4. NEVER RUSH YOUR HOMEWORK AND REVISION WHEN PLANNING!!!!

i repeat, never rush. because when you give only, say, one hour to review 3 chapters and you fail to do so within that time limit, you feel demoralised and hence, will not want to work more. this is a very common issue i believe. sometimes i would rush revise and when i couldnt stick to the timelines, i’ll feel so defeated that i’ll probably binge watch youtube to cure my self-pity LOL

give yourself an ample amount of time. Assign one or two hours a day as ‘delay time’ (this was my free time) so that you can catch up on anything that unfortunately, you couldn’t finish. Assign one day of the week to be the ‘delay day’ -- anything that you cant finish the week before, do it now. this means that you can still ‘save’ your plan even if it screwed up somewhere along the way. it works wonders, believe me! i used to have ‘delay hours’ after training where i would (ahem sadly) study from 2330-0030 if i needed to. while i was tired, i always got my work done.

5. Prioritise

this one needs no explanation. i usually choose which task to start on based on a combination of deadline+importance+graded/non-graded. i start early for graded assignments because they count towards my semester’s final grade and i want to hand up the best quality work i can. find a system which works for you! note: start project work and large assignments early.

you can assign simple tasks first to start the ball rolling, and proceed with harder tasks.

alternatively, if you’re at your prime focus, start with the hardest and scale down to the simple.

6. Make good use of holidays + Wake up early

ok i used to game a LOT and go to training a LOT (still happens now lol) during holidays but i wouldnt get any of my holiday work done.

do your holiday homework first. schedule your time well, and maybe stay home and resist the urge to go out for the first 5 days. finish all your work (again, schedule well) with breaks in between.

thereafter, schedule maybe 3-5 hours a day to revise. if you’re going out with friends, i’d suggest you wake up early to study because once you come home you’re usually dead tired HAHA

so how early is early?? during my o levels study break i would wake up at 0330 (yes, for real) but i slept at 2130 every night. so thats 6 hours of sleep wew but AT LEAST i was very productive. think about it this way: waking up early to study at 0330 makes you more productive than studying till 0330. you don’t have to wake up THIS early, but preferably early enough when the sky’s still dark so that you can fit in those extra hours. DO NOT sacrifice sleep. that’s why you can see i’m still sleeping my usual amount, albeit sleeping and waking earlier.

more perks of waking up early: its quiet outside, the air is cool, your mind gets into the ‘get shit done’ mode, and if you absolutely have to use your phone to search something up, your social media probably won’t be pinging. in other words, early mornings are actually a great time to study! remember to eat something though :>

7. Remove all distractions to prevent possible procrastination

YES i know this is the dreaded one. lock your phone somewhere inconvenient and put the key outside your room. or if you don’t lock it make sure your phone is far away from you as possible. please i know how deadly your phone can get so just put it away.

if you find yourself drifting away and looking at something else, remove that.

alternatively, change up your study environment. you don’t have to go to the library or something (you can if you want to). this is as simple as studying in a different part of the house. a new environment helps to ‘prick’ my mind and help me ignore distractions. i dont know if this is scientifically proven but oh well, worth a try.

8. 2-minute rule

this is something i picked up from @studyquill! it’s pretty helpful (although i was skeptical at first). Tell yourself you’re only going to work for 2 minutes, which helps you get into the workflow. chances are you’ll get so into it (ok not in an excited but rather in a determined way) that you don’t feel like stopping.

if you’ve had a long day and after 2 mins you still don’t get any momentum, just stop and take a 15 min break. that means you’re really too tired and there’s no point in forcing yourself to complete your work.

9. Use reminders

set reminders on your phone for the tasks you need to do. for example, if you’ve planned to start work at 1500, set the reminder to ring 5 minutes before so you have time to gather all your stuff and ready yourself to do work. no excuses!!

set reminders for your breaks as well! those are equally important.

10. Reward yourself

if everything you need to do is done, give yourself a pat on the back. have you been extremely productive? great, treat yourself to your favourite drink/snack. honestly i feel like many of our brains function on the ‘reward’ system. if we reward ourselves for a job well done, we’ll be more willing to complete tasks and stay on time in the future (the brain thinks there’s a reward coming)

remember to take care of your mental health as well! this is one good way to ensure you don’t end up mentally exhausted.

Apps to help with time management

1. Tide - focus timer, meditation, beautiful and calming soundtracks (my fav!)

2. Pendo - everything in one tbh, schedule, to-do list, journal etc. (my fav too!)

3. Forest - focus timer $$$ (free alternative: flora)

4. Donut Dog - focus timer

5. Todoist - minimalist to-do list

6. Minimalist - minimalist to-do list

7. Google Calender - your entire schedule

8. Todait - smart study planner

a quick search will bring out many more! note these are all available on iOS but i’m not sure about google play. you don��t need everything to be productive. i rely only on Tide, Pendo and my iPhone calender and reminders. It’s less about having many ‘tools’ and more about how you properly and wisely utilise them to boost your productivity and manage your time.

also i don't think pendo is very well-known?? so this is how its interface looks like for 'Notes':

it's pretty, simple and clean and there are several themes to choose from! i rly like it omg HAHA (not a promo)

alright that's all! hope it helped :>

Oh, You Thought That Movie Was Long...

So I told my housemates that I was going to watch Gone with the Wind and I would be in my room for a the afternoon. Sometimes they get a little noisy so I let them know when I am doing online tutoring or if I am watching a movie that I am reviewing so they don’t literally yell right outside my door. It is sad I have to tell them every time, but at least they respect my requests (especially when it comes to the tutoring). Instead of the normal “yeah, sure” or “no problem,” we ended up basically playing a game of who had seen the longest film and this culminated in a search for what the longest cinematic film of all time was. Here are some results if you ever get into this game or you want to challenge yourself:

Intolerance (1916): 2hr 43min, black and white, silent film

This movie is not all that long compared to others, but it is silent with really slow music and is split into 4 separate stories that don’t make a lot of sense due to the absence of dialogue. The film is on the AFI top 100 so I am going to have to watch it again sooner or later, but I am really not looking forward to it.

The Lord of the Rings (2001-3): 11hr 16min, trilogy

These movies kind of count because, although they were released separately, it is a continued storyline that was simply broken into 3 parts. Everyone in my house has sat down and watched all three movies consecutively at some point, but I don’t know if it counts because the films are split and everyone took long breaks in between films. I don’t think it is that hard to sit through these films but I am a fan of sci-fi and fantasy. If you are curious, The Hobbit series is quite a bit shorter at only 8hr 52min.

Gone with the Wind (1939): 3hrs 58min, longest film on AFI list

This is the longest running movie on the AFI top 100, but not by that much. There are a dozen movies that dip well into the 3 hour range, but this one beats out Lawrence of Arabia by 10 minutes. Gone with the Wind would actually be 15 minutes shorter if it weren’t for the extended credits, overture, and intermission. Just know you will need to put aside 4 hours to get through the whole thing.

Hamlet (1996): 4hrs 2min, longest movie I have made it through

I had to watch this for my Shakespeare unit when I was in high school and it turned out that I loved it. This is not only the longest movie I have seen, but also one of my favorites. I am a sucker for good Shakespeare remakes and this movie has every single line with nothing cut out. There are a couple of movies that I have seen that are longer, but I did not make it through them without a nap or a very long break. I made it through Hamlet in one sitting with no problems (maybe a bathroom break but that is it).

Amra Ekta Cinema Banabo (2019): Over 21 hours, Bangladeshi

I had to look this one up since I am not very familiar with films out of Bangladesh, but this is apparently the longest cinematic film ever made. Most all of the cinematic films over 5 hours tend to be from Asian countries or France, but this one wins hands down being almost 7 hours longer than second place. It is the story of citizens in the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. The film was made over a period of 9 years with 176 days of shooting and around 4000 artists and crew. This did make me more interested in learning about the history of Bangladesh and Pakistan and I am sure it is a fine film, but I don’t think I would be able to make it through this film because 21 hours is just such a long period of time. Maybe in many sittings over a week.

Logistics (2012): 35 days 17 hours; longest released film to date

So that you don’t have to Google it, the longest film that I could find that was actually released was an experimental art film out of Sweden that follows the creation and shipping of a pedometer in real time. The idea is kind of interesting, but I don’t have a month to check this out. Besides the people who actually made the film, I wonder if there is anybody who actually has seen this film in its entirety. I kind of hope not.

So there you go. If you want to play the “longest movie I can name off the top of my head” game or if you are extremely fortuitous and have a bonus question in a pub quiz, you’re welcome. Now excuse me while I try to take notes on Gone with the Wind without dozing off from the heat. It shouldn’t be too hard since I truly love the film, but you never can tell with an epic movie.

*Well, I got a note from someone named @actionbastard1 who made a fine suggestion for this list in the form of the Erich Von Stroheim film Greed (1925). It is based on the great American novel McTeague and is part of the National Film Registry. This silent black and white contribution had an original theatrical cut that apparently ran over 9 hours for critical review and was 42 reels long. It was eventually cut up by MGM to the point it made no sense and only ran 140 minutes. A 1999 reconstruction was created to try and get a feel for the original cut that runs just slightly short of 4 hours.

Movie Chat

By: SassyShoulderAngel319

Fandom/Character(s): Final Fantasy XV - Ignis Scientia feat. the Chocobros

Rating: PG/K+

Original Idea: Sometimes group chat fics are fun. Came up with this in the shower XD

Notes: (Masterlist)(By Character)(About Me) This is half chat fic, half normal fic.

^^^^^

Prompto has made a group chat with Gladio and Noctis.

Prompto has changed Gladio to Cup Noodle Man.

Prompto has changed Noctis to Prince Of Darkness.

Prompto has changed Prompto to Trick-shot Master.

Trick-shot Master: THAT’S IT! I’VE COME UP WITH A NEW SCHEME!

Prince of Darkness: Okay 1) What’s with the Specs impression? 2) What’s this about? And 3) What did you do to our screen names?

Trick-shot Master: 1) Getting to that. 2) Getting to that. 3) I changed them in case Ignis hacks into any of our phones so he won’t know who’s scheming.

Prince of Darkness: Oh yeah -_- that’ll fool Ignis.

Cup Noodle Man: You think this isn’t too obvious?

Cup Noodle Man has changed Cup Noodle Man to Gladio.

Gladio: Can’t fool Iggy anyway. Too much effort to try.

Prince of Darkness has changed Prince of Darkness to Noct.

Noct: What’s this about, Prompto?

Trick-shot Master: You guys are no fun.

Trick-shot Master has changed Trick-shot Master to Prompto.

Gladio: To the point?

Prompto: Okay, listen. I can’t stand it anymore, okay? I can’t stand the PINING and the LONGING GAZES. So I’ve come up with the perfect plan to finally get Glasses and Princess on a DATE!

Noct: … I'm listening.

Gladio: Same.

Prompto: Okay. Here’s the idea: we all go to the movies together as friends, right?

Prompto: Wrong.

Prompto: We reserve tickets in advance and put the princess and specs together on their own, while the three of US either go to another movie altogether or sit, like, five rows down.

Prompto: But we don’t let them KNOW that. We send then in first to sit down while we “get popcorn”,

Prompto: *them

Prompto: and THEN when the trailers start, we sneak in. ‘cuz y’all know that she’s too interested in the trailers to pay attention to everyone else coming in.

Prompto: Then BAM! They’re on a date.

Noct: … Is it bad that I think that might work?

Gladio: How do we keep Ignis from figuring out that we’re not sitting together when distributing tickets though?

Prompto: C’mon, man. you know that the five of us have an assigned order at theaters. It’s all based on who eats the most popcorn. Me, you, Noct, princess, and Ignis. And we get there before him to have it all figured out.

Gladio: Before IGNIS? Sure that’s possible without showing up 2hrs early?

Noct: Ig averages abt a half hour early to important things. 15-20 mins for less important things.

Gladio: …

Prompto: …

Noct: What? I’ve been around him my entire life. I notice things.

Gladio: Okay. Whatever. Anyway. Sure this will work?

Prompto: Pretty sure, yeah.

Noct: Let’s do it. I'm sick of them pining for each other too.

Prompto: On it!

Prompto has left the chat.

Noct has left the chat.

Gladio has left the chat.

^^^^^

Prompto has made a group chat with Noct, Gladio, Ignis Scientia, and Star Princess.

Prompto: GUYS! Movie this weekend! Who’s down?

Noct: I'm down.

Gladio: Same here.

Star Princess: OH MY WORD YES I AM SO DOWN!

Ignis Scientia: I believe I will be available. I'll be there.

^^^^^

Prompto has made a group chat with Gladio and Noct.

Prompto: See that? He only agreed to go AFTER she did!

Noct: Saw it.

Gladio: Same.

Prompto: Told ya guys. This is gonna be great!

^^^^^

Prompto: Cool! I’ll work out all the deets and let y’all know, okay?

Star Princess: Sounds great! Lemme know if I can help!

Prompto: I think I got it but will do!

Ignis Scientia: If you need my assistance as well I will gladly offer it.

Prompto: I'm good for now but I’ll let you know!

Star Princess: I am SO excited! It’s been forever since we went to the movies together!

Ignis Scientia: It does seem like it’s been a rather long time since the last time we went on a recreational outing. I'm looking forward to the break as well.

Noct: Same.

Gladio: Assuming His Highness doesn’t fall asleep in the theater.

Noct: What can I say? It’s dark in there and the seats are pretty comfy.

Gladio: You’re only saying that because you fit in them.

Star Princess: Prom, make sure you get Gladio an aisle seat so he can stretch his legs XD

Prompto: Noted!

Prompto: I'm excited guys!

Star Princess: Me too!

Ignis Scientia: As am I.

Noct: Yeah same.

Gladio: Yup.

^^^^^

“This one is yours,” Prompto said, handing me my ticket. “I already worked out our usual seating chart before you got here.” I laughed and tucked the ticket up the fabric of my jacket sleeve that covered my palm.

“Thank you,” I said. “So what’s this one about, anyway?” The theater was getting crowded with the Friday night/movie night people. Dates, families, friend groups like ours.

“Not really sure. It’s got great reviews though from the audience and it’s animated so I'm excited,” Prompto said, handing Noctis his ticket and Gladio his. They glanced at them briefly before the tickets got shoved into pockets.

Ignis came through the doors, top collar button undone and a few wisps of his spiked-up bangs falling onto his forehead. “I apologize for being…” He glanced at his watch. “No. I'm not late. How did you all beat me here?”

I shrugged. “I just drove these guys here when Noct told me to get going,” I said, gesturing with my thumb to Noctis and Gladiolus.

“I came pretty early so I could get good seats so the theater wouldn’t be sold out,” Prompto said.

Ignis’ lips pursed. “Hmm. Strange feeling, not being the first to arrive,” he observed.

“Yeah. Anyway. I'm guessing you two don’t want popcorn?” Prompto asked, pointing between Ignis and me.

“Not really,” I said.

“No thank you.”

“Okay. How ‘bout you two go in and find our seats? We’ll meet you in there,” Prompto said. “We’re gonna get popcorn.”

I eyed the concessions line. It was pretty long. “Okaaay,” I said. “Ditch it if the movie’s about to start and the trailers are over.”

“You got it, princess,” Prompto said with a mock-salute.

Ignis and I started weaving through the crowd. Ignis’ hand rested gently on my elbow to keep me from getting lost. That had happened a couple times—one jostle from a stranger and I was on the other side of the foyer and couldn’t find anyone else.

We handed our tickets to the usher, who tore them in the middle halfway and then directed us to the theater. We thanked him and went off to find our seats.

Ignis scrunched his eyebrows as we sat down. “I think Prompto forgot,” he said.

“Forgot what?” I asked.

“Gladio’s leg-room. These seats are in the center of the row. Prompto forgot to put us on the aisle.”

“Oh. Well… hopefully Gladio’ll be okay.”

“Indeed.”

We sat and talked for a long time. We’d arrived at the theater too early. Probably early enough for the other boys to make it through the concessions in time to make the movie but possibly miss the trailers. Prompto probably planned that. He could be pretty smart sometimes—when he applied himself and cared about something. And movie timing was something he cared about figuring out.

We didn’t talk about anything significant. Some small talk about the stuff Ignis had done that day around the Citadel and my training.

When the theater darkened for the trailers to start, I glanced at Ignis. “I hope Noc and the others are… okay,” I said. “They’ve been out there getting popcorn for a while.”

“Well… there are three of them and the line wasn’t exactly short,” Ignis reasoned. “I’ll text them. If they’re not back when the film begins… that’s their own fault, I suppose.” He pulled his phone out.

Ignis Scientia has created a group chat with Prompto, Noct, and Gladio.

Ignis Scientia: Everything alright? The trailers are starting and you’re still not here.

Prompto: Yeah! Everything’s fine. Almost through the line. Just like two more people in front of us!

Noct: Be there soon.

Gladio: Yeah.

Ignis showed me his phone. I read it and shrugged. “Their loss if they miss the trailers,” I said.

“Princess, I think you’re the only one who actually enjoys trailers.”

“What? I like to know what’s coming out! That way I can plan my life accordingly.”

Ignis chuckled. I went back to paying sharp attention to the first trailer—which was already halfway finished. Lucky me it was one I’d already seen. I could sense Ignis fidgeting out of the corner of my eye, but didn’t pay him any attention.

Surprisingly, our theater wasn’t terribly crowded. Probably because we were seeing a movie that had been out for a while and everyone else was swarming the multiple theaters showing something that had just come out and was supposed to be some blockbuster thriller I probably wasn’t going to see. Our theater just had a few families in it and a couple sets of friends—plus maybe a date or two.

For movies like the one we were about to see—an animated family film—our seating order was based around popcorn sharing. In complicated movies with difficult plots to follow, Ignis sat between Gladio and Noctis with me between Noctis and Prompto so Ignis and I could explain the plot to whichever side asked questions to whom.

Because apparently Ignis and I were watching an entirely different movie that contained more information than whatever Gladio, Noc, and Prompto were watching.

More trailers played and then the theater got extra dark. The movie was starting.

Noctis, Prompto, and Gladio still weren’t sitting next to us.

“They’re gonna miss the movie!” I hissed to Ignis, leaning really close so I wouldn’t bug anyone else.

“Oh no—they’re here,” Ignis said.

I looked down at where the entrance ramp spilled out into the main body of the theater. Then up the stairs on either side. “No they’re not,” I replied.

Ignis pointed several rows down.

On the aisle on the opposite side of the theater from the entrance ramp were three familiar heads. I’d recognize Prompto’s blond mess, Noctis’ bluish black porcupine spikes, and Gladio’s overlong, shaved-sides mane anywhere. “What’re they doing down there?” I whispered over the noise of the surround sound opener.

Ignis sighed out his nose. “They’ve set us up,” he said quietly.

“What do you mean?”

“They’ve set us up to be on a date.”

“Oh. My. Word,” I muttered. I pulled out my phone.

Star Princess has created a group chat with Prompto, Noct, and Gladio.

Star Princess: Setting me and Ignis up on a date, guys? Really?

Noct: Prompto’s idea.

Prompto: Yup! Now turn your phone off and let Iggy wrap his arm around you.

Star Princess: Shut up. I'm so going to beat the crap out of you in our next training session.

I shut my phone off and shoved it in my pocket. “Noc said it was Prompto’s idea,” I whispered to Ignis.

“Fascinating. I guessed it was your brother’s.”

There was a pause while the overlong opening logos section set to bright, spunky music played.

“Well, might as well enjoy the solitude while it lasts,” Ignis remarked.

“Good point,” I agreed.

We settled in for the movie. Prompto’s text was burned into the back of my eyelids. Let Iggy wrap his arm around you. I hoped Ignis hadn’t been looking over my shoulder when that came through. That would be so embarrassing.

That didn’t mean I didn’t want Ignis to wrap his arm around me. I wouldn’t have minded that.

I bit my lip and focused on the film. No time to get caught up in a crush I’d spent a dozen years ignoring.

^^^^^

“OMG,” Prompto complained in a quiet whisper to Noctis. “If I have to go up there and put Ignis’ arm around your sister’s shoulder myself I'm going to.”

Noctis shrugged. “I mean… knock yourself out,” he whispered back. “Assuming they don’t knock you out first.”

Gladio shushed them both.

^^^^^

“Prompto seems to be watching us more than the film,” Ignis whispered to me. I looked away from the screen to see Prompto peeking back at us.

“He’s waiting for you to put your arm around me,” I admitted.

“Is that right?”

“Yeah. It was in his text.”

Ignis looked from Prompto to me contemplatively. “Would you mind? It might get him to stop.”

“Sure,” I said.

Ignis reached around and wrapped his arm around me, tugging me a little closer to his side. I let myself be pliable in his hands. So when he reached up and pushed my head to rest against his shoulder, I didn’t protest.

The next time Prompto turned to peek at us, I saw him jerk with a fist-pump, whisper something to Noctis, and whip back forward to watch the movie.

“Looks like you were right,” I whispered to Ignis. He hummed in thought. I felt it in his chest more than I heard it. Okay Prompto, I thought, maybe you had a good idea. Maybe I won’t beat you up the next time we train together.

MEN GOLDEN BREAST (PART SIX)

……………..CONTINUATION OF PART FIVE.

#THIS IS MY TRUE STORY,,,,

Admin, it is at this point when i came to realize some of these shemales are just men who failed to get rid of their breast and that’s why they have a fully functional and normal dick but also have breasts as well.

I was not only after a kiss but also determined to have my day and make love to her so as to make sure that our love journey have kicked off.

I did not struggle much and after some deep kissing; she was lost in happiness as i caressed her all the sensitive body parts: where finally I managed to land my hands in her pant and begin romancing her pussy.

She was wet already and decided not to waste any valuable time as she was ready to eat. I removed her blouse that she had and then proceeded to the skirt and she was now left with her under pants only.

For me, i had only my sport short pant but no underwear and I had a baggy sport vest. I removed her underwear as i also removed my short sport pant but did not remove my top baggy sport vest.

I again started caressing her while kissing her deep, till we were all in the mood of sex, and i finally slided my dick inside her pussy.

She was sweet as i pushed my dick inside slowly while she was moaning. She was not virgin but i didn’t care as my only wish was to have her. I had finally done it.

She was now mine after a few minutes of pumping we both released and cum at same time, it was a good moment. She then requested to go as she would be late. I showed her way to bathroom for shower and then prepare herself to leave.

She bid goodbye to the rest and i escorted her to get a matatu back to her home… We lived in different towns.

That was our beginning of our long-term relationship that proceeded well as we met several times after that, and finally got married in 2010. After several years later of our relationship.

To me, it was love at first sight and finally I had got the one who had true love for me and never bothered about my condition even after discovering my little secret, she just ignored and concentrated on the relationship.

She however one time decided to ask me why one of my breasts is bigger than the other, and i was just honest, explained to her the situation how it happened, and that it is a rare situation in men but he should not worry as it will soon come to an end since i was working on it to get rid of it.

I know there are men who are facing this condition just like me though in different scenarios..

When i got married to her, i would still find some time alone while she was not home to crush my tit as she had train in early childhood education and she worked as nursery teacher. At this point of time, the remaining breast had decreased too much in size.

In 2011, i got a job in the gulf countries, this is after my services as an accounts assistant were terminated and had been jobless for almost 1year.

The opportunity came to me as new door being opened for me. My financial status was completely grounded.

There were several things to do before traveling and all needed money, but because God was opening the new chapter for me, i managed to overcome every challenge with the help my family and few good friends who stood by me during my difficult times.

When traveling to the gulf countries, usually there is a medical test that the travel agency will need you to perform to ascertain your health status before proceeding with the Visa process.

I didn’t have any problem with my health as i knew I’m perfectly ok. But my only worry was my left breast, though it had reduced in size, it was still not looking normal for a man and i couldn’t take off my shirt In front of other people.

I did not discourage myself, i paid for the medical test. I was then scheduled for the test in one hospital within our city which i attended.

At the hospital,l i met the representative of our agent who had a list of those who were attending the medical.

When all people arrived we were directed to a waiting room where we were supposed to wait and only go in the testing room when your name is called.

One by one, we were called in. My turn also came to go in. The first test was a blood test. They took my blood sample for testing, then i was given two small bottles to bring my urine and stool for sampling.

I was then told to proceed to another room for chest x-ray where i was told to take off my shirt and was given an apron to wear and cover my chest.

After the x-ray we were to stay and wait for our medical results before going home.

When the test results were out after about 2hrs later, we were again called one by one to get our results from the Dr. in charge.

All my results were perfect except for the x-ray which revealed i had a swollen mass on my left side breast.

The Dr. inquired from me about the condition and i explained to him. He then made a final report that I was fit to travel and also put the remarks of my breast mass on the left side but because it was not a disease, this could not make someone not to go to work. I was cleared.

I went home a happy man and explained to my wife about the whole issue and also told her that now i was fit to travel.

She was excited by the whole issue but also sad on the other side as she have to wait for 2yrs before we can meet again after I travel.

Working in the gulf is another challenge for couples especially for young couples, who are still enjoying their new marriage time.

But i had no option since i had try all means to secure a job locally but was not lucky for the past 1year.

Two weeks later after my medical test, i received a call from my agent that my Visa was ready and have to clear my balance for the agency fees/ Visa Commission to get my ticket as soon as possible.

I contacted my Dad who was my main helper on the issue and helped me raise the required amount. After 3 days, i paid the full amount.

3 days later my flight ticket was ready and was informed that i can download from my email both ticket and Visa and had 3 days to prepare and travel to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where we were to board our flight to Dubai.

On my preparation, i did not forget my crushing sticks. I carried them along with me so that i would not stop crushing till i completely get rid of the breast.

When traveling, i was in the company of other 7 guys so we were 8 people in total.

When we landed in Dubai, it was almost 24.00hrs midnight and someone was there to pick us from the airport to our destined accommodation.

After about an hour drive, we were at the company accommodation where we were received by the management in charge and shown to our rooms.

One single room accommodated six people with 3 double deckers and since it was midnight we went straight to bed and sleep.

We were waken up at around 6am to go for our tea as breakfast hours were to close by 7am. After breakfast we were called to the accommodation management Office where we were allocated our new company employment numbers that we should use for any company communication and queries.

We were also given food coupons which we will use to get food from the company mess for breakfast, lunch and dinner for full month.

The food coupon is given for monthly basis and without a coupon you can’t get food. We were then allowed to go back to our rooms and rest.

In the evening we were called again and informed that our medical test is scheduled for the next day so we have to be ready and report to the office by 7am…the next day.

I was again worried of my condition and hoped that it will not be a barrier for me to take my new job.

Same test like which we did in Kenya was conducted on us all, but we were not to wait for our results as they are directly sent to your employer or sponsor of the test.

However, my test turned out to be fine and the next day we were scheduled for our induction of the company in head office of the company.

We were therefore told to get ready the next day by 7am to go to head office for induction.

The next morning after breakfast, we headed to the head office and we were taken to a boardroom where the induction was to be conducted.

The induction was in English. So it was not an issue to me where we were given a briefing on few things about the company, management, where to get help and our work related issues.

We were also given a general test on English where we were to answer 50 general questions for 15 minutes and also given a title about something to write a composition.

I received a tilted to write about my pet. To me, it was not a big deal and i scored excellent marks.

After that induction, the next to follow was to be deployed to our work area where we were supposed to undergo another training of 3 days before we can fully begin our duties.

The job was not a well-paying but because we Kenyans lack good job opportunities back home, we are left with no options.

Sometimes i used to ask myself if I’m the same accountant who was now exposed to manual work which best qualified for a standard 8 pupil or a form 4 drop-out; but alaas! There i was with all my qualifications but have to bend and do it.

Sometimes i would be supervised by a person especially the Asians who even can’t construct a good sentence in English grammar and i would just look at him, without any comment because he is my senior by position. i just accept the situation and move on.

During my stay in the gulf, i tried several places to secure a good job of my status but was not lucky to get one even after attending several open interviews and online applications.

During my 2 years of stay in the gulf, i used to continue with my crushing since i could get enough time to do the exercise.

I also joined a gym session so as to build my muscles and strong chest and try to hide the breast under the muscles, which did work properly for me to bring my chest in good shape.

Gradually the breast reduced at a great speed such that by the end of the 2years, my chest was completely okay and well built.

This time, i could stand on a mirror and look at myself and see a man In front of me standing with a well-built muscle chest. I was happy for myself as my efforts had finally bear the fruits i was longing to see.

After the end of my 2 years contract, i terminated my contract and decided to go back home and look for a better opportunity.

Reaching home, my wife could notice the challenges in me and she was so happy to see a well-built man in her arms; now without any defect on his body but just a handsome man.

Though my struggle was tough and challenging i finally managed to yield what I wanted.

My advice to all parents, especially the father, watch your boys as they turn to adolescence so that if you notice him with such condition and he have no Idea what to do please guide him, help him get rid of the tits at the earliest stages possible. For the boys who don’t get this problem of Gynecomastia, they have nothing to worry as they are fine.

For the single mothers in this platform you can also observe your boys as they grow up to adolescence stage and see if they get this condition.

You can as well tell him to get rid of them by crushing the tits at the earliest stages possible to avoid embarrassment in future.

It will be disturbing to both you and your child being in such condition where he will have to live with it for the rest of his life and would be man with breasts.

Some boys get help from friends or older relatives who help to show them how they can wipe out the tits at an earlier stage when they begin to grow on their chest..

From this experience i came to understand why we have shemales, as men can also grow breast just like women yet they have a fully functioning penis.

Those who have money, can undergo a surgery and have the breast tissues removed. But if your family can’t afford it, you will have to go it the hard way or live with the embarrassment all your life.

Recently, i saw an interview by a certain blog on the same condition for a boy whose mother was appealing for financial help to have her boy undergo a surgery to get rid of the problem so that he can pursue his dreams of becoming an international footballer.

Thank you for reading my life story. I hope it will help someone else with same condition or escape the condition in future.

That’s My Side of The Story. #THE END
