#i hope you're having an awesome monday!! stay safe!!

[dragonballnewstar]

Good morning everyone and happy Monday! Welcome back to AMP Up your Week!

I hope you guys had a fantastic weekend! Not a lot happened from what I can see, though some people have reported a resurgence in lemons...so, please be careful!

In science news, SN 2023ixf - a nearby Supernova, gives a rare glimpse at a relatively nearby supernova offers clues to how stars die. Located in the Pinwheel Galaxy, a star exploded at just the right time for astronomers to make their observations. This is the closest supernova to go off within the past 5 years. Ah, that goes without saying if you're in the area please be careful!

Finally - this is a reminder that this is the last weekend of October! Halloween is next week, so please be safe if you're going to parties! I hope to see what Halloween costumes you guys come up with! I'm going as a vampire! It's...supposed to be a joke towards the Calyptra which are more commonly known as "vampire moths"! I..guess it's not really clever if I have to explain it..

Well, that's all for now! Remember to stay hydrated, take some time to breath, and if you're already lost in the craziness of the week - You're awesome and you can tackle whatever comes your way. Thanks for listening!

It’s nice to be noticed and missed! That so sweet of you. Always make me feel welcomed like a long lost relative when I pop in. ❤️

I absolutely understand about the engagement between readers and the stories, I think as a reading community we could stand to show you guys the writers more love, praise and engagement because these amazing stories and worlds you guys conjure are really great. And help as entertainment as well as just something nice to look forward to once or twice a week. But for you Sam, I think you’ve got to take yourself out of the equation here. If I’m understanding you correctly it seems that you’re attaching the engagement a post or story will have with you worth and that’s just not it babes. If one of your stories “fails” (and I use that term very very lightly) it’s honestly just timing. You’ve got a Taylor Swift wide catalog of stories both new and old masterlists and your writing, character and world building has only gotten better as each new piece comes out. You do every thing right, every single time. If it’s not working out it’s just the timing. I’d be willing to put money on it. You yourself are amazing. Your blog is such a safe place for people. And yeah maybe it’s the stories that brought them here in the first place but we—at least me—stay cuz you’re awesome, kind and generous. No matter what’s going on in life, I know that I can count on at least one story either on Monday or Thursday depending and having that to look forward to is such a small and kind gift that you give to people like me.

Who you are and what you’ve got to give is absolutely good enough.

I hope all of that made sense I just wrote and wrote. As for myself I’m doing okay. Told my dad he can’t come to my wedding and he sent me a goodbye and good riddance letter. I think he thought it was going to make me feel guilty or something but I’m so immune to his games now it’s hilarious. But other than that. I’m hanging in there. Trying to take care of myself and be happy, whatever that looks like. And doing some of my own writing (little short love stories) but I’m pretty rusty so it’s not quite what I want but I’m liking rebuilding that muscle.

I hope something I said in all that is helpful. If you take anything away: you’re perfect as it, everything else is just noise. -🐱

You're so logical, I wish I could. You would think as a math person I would be MORE logical but I just get all wrapped up in being emotional I get all flustered.

Everything you said made perfect sense. I'm extremely grateful to you and how kind you are. I am definitely not too kind to myself almost ever so I get very emotional when people are kind to me. Also, I'm a pretty big push over in the real world so people just expect me to be kind and do things for them so it's really overwhelming that you just pointed out like REALLY nice things about me and are making me feel valuable even if I don't see it myself. I'm glad I created a safe place here, that's what I really want more than anything 💕

That's extremely sad about your dad but I'm so proud of you for doing that. Your wedding is about you and you deserve it to be all you want and more. I'm so happy for you 💕

ALSO ALSO YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY I wanted to ask about your engagement/wedding plans but I didn't know if that was still a plan and I think I would have jumped into traffic if I asked and you weren't getting married still.

If you feel comfortable, I would love to hear more details about your wedding! Color, theme, location (nothing specific--beach, barn, backyard, church, etc). I love to hear wedding plans! If my bf ever proposes we will NOT be having a wedding (we are poor-poor) so I love to live vicariously through others and their plans 😍 ALSO I'm so excited to hear you're writing! Writing short little love stories was how I got my start here too so I'm sure it won't be long till you're writing Harry stuff with the rest of us 😉

Thank you for your sweet message. I adore you 💕

xoxo

Happy Thursday my secret santee! I hope to have your present ready for next Monday, the day after christmas, if that's okay? Speaking of, are you ready? I'm not. I'm behind on the fics I promised my other mbb friends (for I am a poor HS teacher who cannot spoil them the way they deserve to be T-T), and I haven't wrapped any of my gifts yet XD I prefer wrapping my presents personally lol! But I also appreciate a nice gift bag. We have a huge winter storm on the way here, I hope you're not around where I am! Please stay warm and safe these holidays, with lots of love and smiles and laughter.

I am so glad I got to know you a bit during this! I can't wait to reveal myself ;) There's actually something kinda funny about this lol

I wanted to insert a gif here of some kind of Wonho something for you but I can't figure out how to do it in an ask sooooooooooo here is the link for it instead! :D

Only a few more days! <3 mbb secret santa

Happy Thursday!!!

Of course that's okay! Whenever you can have it done, I'm in no rush :)

I just finished my Christmas shopping today! Luckily I have extra money this month & my boss is super cool and let me take some time off to finish during the day before the crowds really hit - so I was able to get more gifts for some people I didn't really get a lot! Kinda a Christmas miracle lol

The goal is to wrap gifts tomorrow after work! We also have a huge winter storm where I am - I figured wrapping presents could be a fun thing to do if (let's be real when) I lose power! I don't mind gift bags either, but I just find wrapping to be super relaxing & fun, especially if there's a lot to wrap! Usually I put on some music or a show and just go at it.

You're literally so sweet, I really appreciate it & hope you can stay safe and warm this holiday season, too! It's been awesome talking to you this past month! Secret Santa is one of my fave events, I'm super excited to find out who you are!!

And omg that gif, I love it!!

when dabi basically asked tomura if reader is his girlfriend and then tomuras phone ringing saved him from answering, does tomura rlly not consider reader his girlfriend? i know some ddlg relationships tend to trophy their littles so i just assumed dabi just doesnt understand the whole daddy dynamic? or how tomura loves to show her off. also was tomura always a daddy? i cant see him being that w any1 but reader! sorry these are my late night thoughts lmao

no apologies needed anon bb these are good questions!! <3

does tomura really not consider reader his girlfriend/does dabi not understand the whole daddy dynamic?

AH okay. no, tomura definitely considers her both his girlfriend AND his trophy. dabi’s really just saying that shit to bother tomura, because he really DOES parade the reader around like she’s his favourite shiny toy instead of an actual person, you know? their relationship is clearly extremely unhealthy and unequal in terms of (everything, really) but especially the power dynamic (it is important to note here that while reader has willingly and consensually entered into this power dynamic relationship, it is still quite unhealthy, and tomura clearly abuses his position of power over her. definitely not ALL consensual power dynamic relationships are unhealthy, but theirs in particular is!!)

it is also true, though, that at this specific point in the story itself, dabi doesn’t 100% understand the ddlg dynamic (more because he doesn’t care to, however this changes throughout the story itself as he spends more time with the both of them). but in general, dabi’s little quip in this instance is just to try and get under tomura’s skin and annoy him a little. he’s just being an asshole <33 not to mention at this point in the story dabi also sees her more as a nuisance than anything else; just some dumb little girl who’s gotten herself too deep in a dangerous life she has no business being present in in the first place.

was tomura always a daddy?

he definitely always had that inclination inside of him—he loves the control and the power the title comes with—BUT he had never found anyone he had deemed ‘worthy’ of that much of his time, care, and attention until he met reader!! she really kicked his ‘daddy instincts’ into high gear!! <33

i hope this answers your questions sweetpea!!! pls let me know if you have any others!! ♡ ～('▽^人)

Happy Monday, everyone! How are y'all doing? How's the beginning of the week treating you? Woah... It's been forever since I last did one of these, hasn't it? I hope everyone has been well and taking good care. Make sure you take a break today, let yourself relax before going back to your responsibilities! It's just Monday, there's a whole week ahead of you still! Take it easy, don't rush to get things done, there's time I promise you.

Ah, what has everyone been up to? I've been trying to stay updated! But its been busy over here. What's new with you? Have you picked up any new hobby? Any major change happened? For me it's been the same as always, but different. As an independent artist and producer there's a lot of stuff I have to do on my own for myself, y'know? A few weeks ago I had an interview after months of just being locked in creating– It was quite fun and it was awesome getting to talk to someone about the studio and all the upcoming projects everyone here has going on and even the studio itself!

Not to self promote, but if you're looking to get into music we have this new project about to launch; we're looking for small artists willing to record with us. If you know anyone, let them know!

Personally? Well, you guys know I don't have much of a social life outside work LOL! Luckily for me, I have a little someone that always makes sure I disconnect for a while and create nice memories outside the studio. Do you have a special someone who grounds you and reminds you there's more to life than just existing? Thursday night was date night with my bunny~. I made sure I came home earlier and we had a nice homemade dinner, he of course brought dessert as usual. How could I say no, anyway? His desserts are heaven. His new fixation is growing the largest mushroom ever... You can imagine how the night went! I don't remember the last time I did so much research, but it was probably college and its been years since that. It's ok though, because I love him.

I always get so nervous for some reason, how silly is that? I'm always trying to surprise my bunny somehow and I think at times it feels like I'm running out of ideas. It's still always so easing though, spending time with him. I don't really realize how much of a weight and effect work has on me– I love my job, don't get me wrong, but letting go of it and just enjoying my time with my babyboy? It's just different from anything else in the world... Ah, I'm simping again, ain't I?

Ok, ok, I think this is enough for today! I'll get going now, after all I am at work anyway! I hope everyone can manage to finish their day the best possible way. Remember, trying your best is already enough, and making it through the day is an achievement, you're allowed to be proud of your wins. I'll see you guys around! Stay safe!

[forbidding-souda]

I hope your university questions were okay, a lot of my friends have started that up too, and it can get stressful. I plan on going to community college soon too, but family wise things have been crazy.

Anyway, has the weather been hot over where you are too? Over here, I've been melting, so I hope you're staying safe!

Don't forget! Drink plenty of fluids!

I forgot what I've said already (and it's funny bc i'm in class rn but this is so boring lmfao) but all my classes are only monday-wednesday and I'm not even a part time student so I was like oh no maybe they give lots of work. No. They do not. and my classes are fun except for this one (english). Like why am I slaying rn jeez god picks favorites and I am ONE OF THEM!!!

I love this place it's so awesome. And actually I get to see my husband MORE often because he has a job to which he can go to different campuses so... they way I've seen him every day this week... the WAYYY. the way I snuck out of my dorm at 2am and hung out with him until 4 teehee oops.

I also hope you get to community college and get everything sorted out with your family bae.

oh and the weather is fucking insane up here in sac. in the mornings it's so chilly I want to die, but then once it hits 12pm it's so hot I literally am sweating before I can get into my dorm on that 7 minute walk. Literally insane and then it only gets cold again at like 2am.

I NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER LMFAO HELLLPP i might buy water for me and my dorm bae.

31/10/2020 (Happy Halloween everyone)

Hello everyone, I hope you're okay. So it's lockdown season 2 in France. I was on vacation but Monday my classes are full online now (normally) but we don't have our organization yet. So I don't know if Monday I have an online classe or not.

In the last post, I talk to you a little about time management. I try a new organization but I didn't fully follow it for some reason (and the actuality and my stress are some reasons). But I think it's an interesting organization.

How I scheduled my time to study during this vacation ?

I'm not have a habit to study a lot during a day. And this year, it's worse. If I study 2 hours a day, it's awesome. So I try to schedule my time to studu more, and to be more productive.

Here's how I scheduled my day:

7h30 Waking up

9h Study session

12h Lunch and Break time. Time to chill (take a nap, read, etc)

15h Study session number 2

19h End of the study session. Time to chill and rest

22h30 Time to go to bed

During the study session, I still take some breaks because I can't stay focus for 3-4 hours straight, I need to have some break to stretch, stand up, move or rest my eyes.

With the new organization and the online classes, I will maybe keep this organization. We will see if this organization will work with me.

See you next time and stay safe!

[raining-somewhere-else]

Heyo! How r U? Hope you is good! (◕ᴗ◕✿)

I hope that you'll achieve your dreams in the future! Make sure to have some water and fruit today! Stay safe and positive!!!(≧▽≦)

Hmm, let me see here. Ah yes. Here it is:

You are so amazing, keep it up 💖💞💖💞💖💖💞💞💖❤💖❤💖

Look after yourself today!!

[inkykeiji]

Who do you think out of all your series is most likely to have a behavior chart? Like if she gets enough stars for the week she gets an extra cookie or something. Do you think if SD! Natsuo had one that Dabi would take some off for fun? Or if bmb tomura had one do you think dabi would do it for her to give her a sense of peace?

anon i fucking LOVE this idea like i am actually squealing at this oh my GODDDDD

out of all of my series, touya-nii, bmb!tomura, sd!natsuo, and the twins are most likely to implement a behaviour chart. poison!dabi might give it a try, too, but he’d be a little too lenient with it and wouldn’t use it the same way that the others would (aka his use would be very sporadic: sometimes extremely strict, sometimes extremely lax, with it all really depending on his specific mood and the type of day he’s had). his use of it wouldn’t be as rigorous, organized, and controlled as the others.

overall, the charts all mix together behaviour with general chores:

good behaviour includes things such as eating her veggies, remembering to take her meds + vitamins, doing her homework and assignments in a timely manner, going to bed on time, not spending too much time on social media/playing video games etc (stars and stickers are taken off for swearing, talking back, disobedience of any kind, etc)

chores include things such as keeping her room—or their room, depending on the AU—clean (clothes put away properly, no stuffies out of place when she isn’t sleeping/cuddling with them (they have a designated space either in their shared closet or in her bedroom)), keeping her desk organized, cleaning up any messes she leaves in the kitchen (yes, even bmb!reader, yes, even though they have a maid—morale is important!), keeping up with personal hygiene (brushing teeth, washing hair, etc)

rewards and punishments vary widely depending on the AU as well as just how good or bad she’s been, with the outcome matching the severity of her behaviour.

sugar daddy natsuo:

sugar daddy natsuo has absolutely authorized touya to remove stars whenever he sees fit, which touya absolutely takes extreme advantage of.

touya takes stickers off for the most mundane, ridiculous things, such as a look that wasn’t even that dirty, or a loud noise/squeal, or anything that annoys him or amuses him in the slightest; touya takes stickers off for normal things, for reader just being herself, and he does this purely to be an asshole, he does this purely because he finds some sort of sick satisfaction in it all, in having this perceived power over her. and even though he knows that roughly 90% of the time natsuo knows he’s just fucking around and that, because of this, natsuo will ultimately give the stickers back to her, but this doesn’t stop him from removing them for absolute bullshit reasons, just to see the way her glassy eyes gleam and puckered chin quivers, just to hear her beg in that precious, pathetic little voice for him to please, don’t!, to hear her apologize for literally nothing at all, to hear her—force her—to tack on that glorious ‘-niisan’ to the end of his name when he gives her that unimpressed look after all of her shameful begging, the one with the sharp smile and glittering eyes, the one that says he knows she can plead better than that.

and it’s gorgeous, the way those tremors sewn into her voice turn from trepidation to irritation, from fear to fury as he coerces her into using the honorific as she entreats him, the term heavy and bitter on her tongue, with the knowledge that it won’t do a damn thing, that it isn’t going to make a damn difference either way, that he’s going to do exactly what he wants to regardless of how pretty and polite and perfectly she adheres to his every wish and whim; with the knowledge that if she refuses, if she disobeys, that she’ll get in trouble for real.

she knows it’s all a game, too, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less; that doesn’t stop a thick shield of tears from lacquering her eyes as he rips another one of those shimmering stickers from the chart, laughing cruelly as it hangs off the pad of his thumb. what’s worse, though, is that if she actually breaks a rule, if she genuinely misbehaves enough to warrant a permanent removal of a sticker instead of a playful one, touya is also authorized to punish her in whatever way he sees fit, so long as he notifies natsuo of it beforehand.

touya’ll still mess around with the chart even when he isn’t babysitting, when he’s just hanging around the mansion, randomly peeling off stickers for no logical reason and affixing them to his cheekbones, his nails, his wrists, his nose, and his temples. this pisses reader off, too, because it makes a mockery of the whole system, the whole situation; all of hers and Daddy’s hard work, but Daddy finds it downright hilarious—and although she’d never admit it aloud, touya can be kind of amusing when he’s so high he acts silly, she guesses.

shouto, on the other hand, will take reader out and buy her tons of really pretty, really sparkly, really expensive stickers to use for the chart, because a pretty princess deserves equally pretty stickers, don’t you think? in addition to this, shouto is more likely to allow her to get away with things without the cost of a sticker; what Daddy doesn’t know wont hurt him and maybe we just won’t tell Daddy about this, yeah? it can be our little secret <3 natsuo almost always finds out, of course, but shouto always takes the full blame and responsibility for her, even if it wasn’t his fault, and that always gets her out of a punishment + losing a sticker. because even though natsuo knows it’s all fucking bullshit, shouto is strategic with everything, shouto knows where all the cameras in the house are, shouto knows just how to angle his body to block them, shouto knows they don’t record sound—and shouto knows natsuo can’t say a goddamn thing about any of it, because they’d both never lie to his niisan and her Daddy, right? <3

shouto is also most likely to give her extra stickers just for fun, though natsuo removes these on the times when he notices. and yet, no matter how many times natsuo lectures shouto for such pampering behaviour and scolds shouto for his extreme negligence—because, really, how is she supposed to learn discipline and good behaviour if you continue to reward her for nothing?—shouto never ceases this conduct, maintaining his actions with that sweet little smirk on his lips and a coy little wink.

because, really, shouto loves being reader’s favourite niichan <3

bmb dabi:

bmb!dabi absolutely keeps up with readers behaviour/chore chart in an effort to aid her in keeping some semblance of stability, normality and routine, in her life, both while tomura is suffering through his acute episode as well as after he’s been committed to the hospital. he begins to take it more seriously after tomura goes away for treatment; at the beginning dabi felt like it was more of a chore for him to keep up with it, but still begrudgingly did it for reader’s sake. but this feeling quickly fades the further tomura falls into his episode and the further in love dabi falls with the reader. as such, by the time tomura is committed, dabi actually enjoys maintaining the chart and definitely continues on with it because it seems to help reader a lot; she seems to be more motivated, calm, and understanding when the chart is involved. dabi is authorized to make a few changes, after confirming them with Daddy, adding a few mental health check-in type rows for all three of them, to keep communication between himself, reader, and tomura as open as possible. in this way, the chart acts as a buffer; it’s easier to express your feelings when you get to start by adding a happy face or a sad face sticker to your row, and it enables them all to hold each other accountable.

furthermore, dabi is definitely less strict and more lenient with it than tomura is and, as tomura continues to get better and begins delegating chart protocols from within the hospital, he is definitely reprimanded by his boss for being so susceptible to reader’s sweet pouts and soft looks and precious apologies. it’s playful in a way, though, and tomura is sure to tell reader to enjoy it while it lasts, because once he’s out, they all know he won’t be nearly as merciful—with either of them <3

✰ note: i’ve only gone over how sugar daddy natsuo + co and how bmb dabi + tomura handle the chart and its duties, because those are the two your additional questions mentioned. however! if you have any other questions pertaining to how touya-nii and/or the twins would handle it, feel free to send it in!! <33

[inkykeiji]

I wanna kiss Touya-nii's nose out of the blue and tell him how pretty he is

hahahaha aw anon you’d totally take him by surprise—which is very hard to do!—lithe fingers halting their ministrations, whole body going rigid from the sudden shock tinged with serendipity, head turning to watch as you walk away with a sweet giggle tickling your throat.

and he wouldn’t say anything, but he wouldn’t have to—it’d be in his eyes, glittering from the glow of his whole universe; it’d be in his smile, usually so sharp, now loose and lax, carefree and genuine as it pulls the edges of his mouth higher and crinkles the corners of his eyes <3

[inkykeiji]

idk if you know anything about the game genshin impact but theres a character called fischl and she always makes me think of you shes like the goth version of you in my mind

anon!!!! i do not know anything at all about genshin impact, BUT i looked up the character and oH MY FUCKING GOD SHE'S SOOOOOOO CUTE WAAAAAH 🥺🥺🥺 i read her lil bio on the wiki and !!!!!!!!!!!!! she seems rly sweet n quirky, and i'm in LOVE with her outfit oh my gosh <33 i asked a few friends who do play on their opinions n it seems they agree anon babie!!!

[inkykeiji]

dabi's high-pitched whines omg yesss. i think keigo would be the type who would talk A LOT until he's close and then devolves into throaty moans and heavy panting, like for once he's completely lost his ability to form a coherent thought, let alone say it, and he kisses or bites as he cums and moans into your mouth or skin. tomura i think is the quietest so when he gets loud, you know he's REALLY into it. his commands sound a bit like begging when he's close, and his voice breaks as he cums. :)

YES YES YES I AGREE (tbh i also think dabi talks a LOT as well since the dude literally never knows when to shut the fuck up ehehehe) BUT YES I AGREE ANON OMG and you know keigo’s trying his damn hardest to keep talking even through those moans until he quite literally can’t, huffing and whining out words as his own sounds interrupt him <3 AAAAH YES i feel like tomura’s a lot of soft whimpers n hisses and then maybe a few lil grunts too ehehe <3
