#i long for a physical community of us 💔

[ahmoseinarus]

Why I'm not okay with Vax'leth...

okay, hear me out before you come for me, "their love was used to break the world"ers, cuz I'm seriously not trying to start a fight... First and foremost... this is only my opinion. And my opinion has absolutely no bearing on your thoughts, views, opinions, or what is canon. The Eight Nerdy-Ass Voice Actors have spoken: Vax'leth is canon, end of story. And I'm certainly not going to say Vax'leth shippers are wrong, or stupid, blah blah blah... hell no. That is not my place, nor my right (well, legally it is my right, but my personal morals and feelings on the matter say that it's a dick move, so). I don't care who you ship (as long as it ain't pedophilia). That's the beauty of fandoms. We can all have our thoughts, ideas, opinions, and somewhere, find someone of like mind to share them with. Second, yes. I ship Perc'ildan... But I also ship Vax'more. Hell, when I was watching Campaign 1, Vax gave Percy a big ol' smooch on the cheek, Liam said "Percy and Vax, people! Ship it!" I said "O, captain, my captain!" and never looked back. But otherwise, there wasn't much else in canon to go off of. Not like there was with Vax & Gilmore. Very quickly, the chemistry there blew me away, I was shipping them so damn fast, and I had so much hope for them! But then... "You know I'm in love with you, right?"

💔 ... that single, Iconic moment that kicked off the Vax'leth joy for nearly a decade for so many, was a moment of shattered hopes and heartbreak for me. And it came out nowhere! I was not expecting it! I knew people were shipping them (I was not in online communities yet, I got into the fandom very late, they were between C2 & C3 when I started watching C1) but I didn't know how the campaign ended, I didn't know if anyone ended up together... I had not recognized any interest between those two characters except for one brief moment, when Vax went unconscious in the fight with the Briarwoods in Emon... He pictured his mother, his sister... and Keyleth. And I thought "oh god, please don't go there." And for a couple more eps, it seemed okay, but then he dropped that line...

"You know I'm in love with you, right?"

... fuck.

Part of me wanted to stop watching. But that was silly and childish. And holy shit, the Briarwood Arc. I think I paused, though, and stared at the ceiling and had a silent mental tantrum. Later, watching him pseudo-break up with Gilmore from their pseudo-thing that was never really official to begin with, because of what looked unrequited love, left me feeling nauseous. And... it never got better. Nothing about Vax and Keyleth ever felt right.

Now, I wasn't particularly happy about Perc'ahlia either, but... I was okay with it. I mean, damn, Laura and Tal played it well, Vex & Percy had the chemistry... They came together, they said "yes, you are what I want", and "Lady in the streets, tiger in the sheets" Vex said "Great, let's fucking go," grabbed Percy by the short & curlies and has been dragging him around, plucking his flower ever since, and making him a very, very happy man. But I digress. No, Vax'leth just never felt right. The chemistry wasn't there. They always seemed just a bit out of synch, never quite in harmony with each other... I know the arguments have been made before. Keyleth and Vax felt forced; yeah, they really did. They were awkward; yeah, I mean, Keyleth was already socially awkward, Marisha played that brilliantly, but this was... more. Vax carried everything; yyyyeah, he did. He seemed desperate to make it work. Sure. I saw all of that. Every single one of "their moments" was so incredibly uncomfortable for me to watch, it was almost unbearable... There were a couple of times when I physically squirmed in response. But... why? I didn't have this response to Percy & Vex... I see Perc'ahlia fanart online, I've even read a couple of Perc'ahlia fics... but Vax'leth? I actively avoid it... I've never read anything that might include it... I block the tag on every platform, because stumbling across fanart with them in any... intimate position just brings a visceral cringe reaction from me... ... But... I'm fine with Percy/Grog. Or Percy/Tary. Or Vax/Grog. I've read a Vex/Percy/Grog. I'm down with Vex/Zahra/Kash... Vex/Percy/Zahra. o.o I've read Polymachina where it's "hm... whose bed am I sleeping in tonight?" And that's where I figured it out... because whenever characters started getting mix-matched up together, occasionally I'd find myself skipping stuff, just "oof, no, not interested in giving that paring/threesome/grouping a chance..." And I finally realized it all had the same thing in common. It was Keyleth herself. And between that, and watching C3, I started to realize something. Or recognize something. There was something about Keyleth that was resonating with me. There was something about her, that I was relating to. And once I figured it out, I couldn't believe it had taken me so long to see it. Keyleth full on fucking screams Aromantic Asexual so hard!

And she doesn't even know it herself!!!

This is an incredible woman of strength, power, wisdom and compassion. She is one of the leading figures in the entire world. Her life has been nothing but a journey of seeking knowledge, and power, and self-control, and wisdom and leadership. She has had incredible burdens and responsibilities heaped upon her shoulders since she was just a girl. Her Aramente was supposed to be about finding herself, yes, but that's also what the journey of life is. I realized that the reason that Vax'leth made me so uncomfortable, was because I recognized what I was seeing. I was watching Keyleth, who had no understanding of herself, and who had not yet had the time to explore and figure herself out, being confronted with someone that she cared about, expressing feelings for her, and she was going through the motions of trying to to respond. She was just doing what she thought she was supposed to do, playing the part she was supposed to play, and even wanted to play, because this! This is what people do! This is part of what everyone gets to have! Something that is normal, but special, and just for her, in this otherwise insane, overwhelming chaos that is the rest of her life, with the world crashing down around her... "This is what I'm supposed to do! I care for this person, he cares for me, he loves me, so I'm supposed to fall in love with him! That's what's happening! I'm supposed to do this! This is what I'm supposed to say! Is this what it's supposed to feel like when we hold hands? I'm probably just nervous and overreacting. This is what we're supposed to do. Yes, we're supposed to kiss. I'm supposed to like it. Yes, act like I like it, tell him I like it, tell myself I like it, this is what I want because I care about him, and this is what you do when you care about someone!"

At some point, you start to question. "... is it... really supposed to fee like this? Is this really what I want? Is this really love? Or... OMG have I just been playing along because I'm trying to conform to the expectations of society... and myself?!" It's confusing... because you genuinely do want it!!! Until you realize... that you don't. And then you're just confused. And trying to figure out why. Maybe you weren't really in love? Maybe you didn't really want it with this person? Or... did you ever really want it at all?

Let me tell you, some of the best smut fanfiction is written by asexuals, in case you didn't know that. There is a big difference between loving sex, and loving the idea of sex. Or loving romance, and wanting to have your own. There are so many written works of love and romance and erotic, explicit sex, being written by people who can't get enough of reading and writing it... but have no interest in having that themselves... But I'm sure quite a few of us went through the motions in our youth, of dating, kissing, or even a bit more, before we realized OMG no, keep it out of my reality and in fiction, please. Keyleth never had the fucking chance. Perhaps in their year off between the Conclave and the final Arc she started to wonder and question... I think at some point, maybe on a Talks Machina, Liam did say that Vax and Keyleth's relationship was mostly asexual. But then, of course... Vax was gone.

I wonder if he knew, on some level... Especially after his deal with the Matron. That as much as she loved him, it was not as much as she thought she did. Or, if I may, even as much as Marisha loved Vax. Maybe Keyleth has figured herself out by now... maybe she hasn't... In Dalen's Closet, she asked the Champion how she is supposed to get over him if he keeps sending her Ravens. But I can't help wondering if she isn't clinging to Vax's memory, in part, because as long as she is still grieving him, it gives her an excuse to not move on. If she hasn't moved on, and isn't moving forward in a state where someone might be trying to catch her eye, she won't have to deal with that self-reflection, and start to question if what she had with him was ever real to begin with, or just another lie she was telling herself. I have to wonder if she is ready to see and accept that part of herself. It takes a lot of time. I was in my mid thirties by the time I realized I was on the asexual spectrum. And nearly 40 when I realized I was aromantic. And now, looking at Keyleth as an Aromantic Asexual, everything just seemed to slot into place, and make sense for her, and everything that bugged me about her suddenly... doesn't anymore. I've always enjoyed Keyleth's character, outside of Vax'leth. But I'm curious, if I go back and rewatch C1 now, with this perspective, while I will certainly never like it, and will certainly never ship it... I wonder if I can at least find some peace in it. But, for those of you who think I'm stark raving mad, that Zephrah is for lovers, and the Raven & the Tempest is the love story for the ages, well... You've waited a long time for LoVM Season 3! Enjoy and savor every Vax'leth moment you get!!! But I will respectfully be filtering them out, and shall let you have your moments of triumph and delight in peace.

💖Fandom is for Shippers (Canon Compliance not required) -Responses are fine, I just ask that you bear in mind all I have put forth is my opinion, and nothing more, and I have tried to do so in a manner that is respectful to those that I know will likely not share my opinion. Should someone feel the need to come back at me with considerably less respect than I have shown, well... then in the words of one Pike Trickfoot in LoVM S1 E01... "Easy Grog... we don't waste our time on talking assholes, remember?"

third time's the charm ♡ chapter five

also sorry this took so long ? it sat in my drafts for a week holy shit

taglist: @wakashudou

previous ♡ masterlist ♡ next

Tsukishima Kei has three rules he follows when he's hooking up with someone.

1. Keep all communication to Tinder.

2. No dilly dallying.

3. Do not stay the night.

Of course, rule 2 had some exceptions -- occasionally he'd watch a movie to lead up to the act, but no more than that. He views hookups as a business transaction: get the goods and dip. Luckily, both sides (usually) benefit.

♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡*•.¸♡¸.•*♡

He hadn't intended to stay the night at all after your romp together. He meant to help you back into your underwear, maybe cuddle for a few minutes, and then leave. But with the way your head rests against his chest, and with how comfortable you look, how is he supposed to say no?

Your hair is splayed out around you, strands tickling his skin. He finds himself absentmindedly tracing patterns on your near-bare back with his fingers as he scrolls through his phone with his free hand, willing exhaustion to hit. Your dorm bed, despite being the same as literally every other dorm bed, is somehow comfier than his own. Maybe it's because he's sharing it with you, although he's not sure.

More often than once, he catches himself observing your sleeping form. Your head is on his chest, your torso turned so that your boobs are pressed against his own torso. He can feel the silky material of your bra against him, and he wonders if you're uncomfortable. It looks like the wire's digging into your skin from his vantage point. One leg overlaps his own while the other remains straight on the mattress, and the arm he can see is splayed out on his ribs. He watches as your chest rises and falls slowly, the pattern of your breathing steady in your sleep.

"You fell asleep so quickly," he mumbles out loud, impressed. Part of him thinks you're a little stupid; who would let someone they just met stay the night? And why would you fall asleep so quickly on a stranger?

Another part of him finds it endearing, though. To be instantly trusted by someone in such a vulnerable state... it's not a feeling he's used to.

None of what just happened was what he was used to.

Sex is a fickle thing, he thinks. He has his own experience with it, most of it involving smooth R&B playing in the background, the music intermingling with the sound of skin-on-skin and feminine -- and occasionally masculine -- moans. It's never been without music, and there's never been conversation when the act's actually started.

He enjoyed the conversation, though. Listening to you try to form sentences while he went down on you was erotic in its own way. Maybe it was the teasing nature of it, or the way you'd gasp and fall silent, head thrown back in pleasure, before struggling to gather your thoughts and continue.

He finds that his eyes are drifting shut despite trying to keep them open, that he's playing with something very dangerous. After all, he thinks it wouldn't be too hard to get addicted to this: laying in a twin XL-sized bed that's too small for two people with you using him as a mattress more than you're using the actual mattress. The weight of you on his body is more comfortable than he'd ever admit to anyone, and your mannerisms and personality have already been etched into his brain. You're different.

The thought snaps him out of his reverie and he physically cringes. He doesn't think you're the kind of person who'd enjoy being told, "You're not like other people." In fact, he thinks you'd probably smack him, although he doesn't know you nearly well enough to be confident in this assumption (but he's right. You would smack him, only because you take comfort in knowing there are other people who are as weird as you, if not weirder).

When his eyes open again, sunlight is streaming through the window on the far side of the room. At some point during the night, you must've gotten up to put on a shirt -- his shirt, he realizes with a jolt -- because you're no longer laying against him bare-chested, instead now clad in a loose, black tee. He fumbles around for his phone, discovering it underneath his ass. He taps on the screen a few times, watching as it lights up with a photo of him and his volleyball club from high school. The time reads 10:32am, and you're out like a light. No one ever said sex wasn't tiring, though.

His movements must be disturbing your slumber, because you shift in your sleep. One of your legs ends up fully over him while his free arm ends up trapped between your body and his. You sure know how to make yourself comfortable, he thinks.

Slowly, delicately, he extricates himself from your hold, each move calculated as not to disturb your slumber. After all, he hadn't intended to stay the night -- vague memories of the mild shock on your face after you asked makes him think you hadn't originally intended to ask, either.

He pulls his pants on before remembering that there's a bit of a dilemma. You're wearing the shirt he came with, and he half-heartedly wonders if anyone's out and about on campus on a Saturday mid-morning. It's not that he's embarrassed of how he looks, he would just much rather be able to blend into the crowd with ease. Being shirtless would prevent that, probably.

If he was wearing athletic shorts, on the other hand, he could pretend he was going on a run. Alas, he wore jeans to your dorm. It seems his options were either leave and demand you return his shirt via Tinder, or--

"Where're you going?"

Your sleep-tinged voice cuts through his thought process, and he snaps his head up to look at you. It seems his movements were not calculated enough, since you're now awake. He watches as you blink sleep from your eyes, turning onto your back to stretch your limbs out in all directions with a quiet groan. You sit up in the bed, glancing from him to the shirt you're wearing. "This isn't mine," you say at last.

He lets out a slight chuckle. "No, that's mine. You must've put it on during the night. And I was just heading out, actually."

You let out a gasp, clapping your hands over your heart. "Without even saying goodbye? How cold. How cruel, Tsukishima. I'm heartbroken." Your tone is light, teasing; he can't help but smile in response.

"You were sound asleep. I didn't wanna disturb you." His eyes trail over your body, hidden by a combination of his tee and the blanket that's draped haphazardly over your form.

You raise one eyebrow at him, a devious look in your eyes. "So you were just gonna leave my dorm without a shirt on?"

"Was hoping I could pass as someone going for a morning jog."

"In jeans?"

He falls silent at that, because how could he refute those words? You were just voicing his internal argument, anyways. He lets out a huff and sits on the edge of your bed, taking care to avoid squashing your feet under the blanket. "You have a good point," he finally mutters. He's not sure why he feels embarrassed, but he can feel the tips of his ears heat up as a blush begins to crawl down his features.

"I make those sometimes," you say. He glances at you and catches you looking away from his torso, your cheeks now dusted with the color of shame from being caught in the act. He lets out another chuckle.

"You can look, you know. It's not like I'm actively trying to hide it."

Your response to that is to fish out a pair of sunglasses from your nightside table and put them on before shifting your body to face him. You lean closer to his torso, remarking, "Sunglasses are so great because no one can tell where I'm looking," before straightening up and taking the accessory off. "Sorry. Got struck by divine inspiration for that one."

He just shakes his head, a look of feigned annoyance passing on his features, before he holds his hand out. "Can I have my shirt back now?"

You let out a sigh, rolling your eyes. "I guess." With swift movements, his shirt is off your body and in his hand, exposing your bra -- and upper body -- to the elements. Now it's his turn to stare, and he does so without shame.

"You literally saw all of this last night," you state after a brief period of quiet. That snaps Tsukishima out of his reverie, and he puts his shirt on.

"Yeah? You saw all of this--" he gestures to his now-clothed torso, "--last night too."

"Touché."

The silence returns as he stands and shuffles about the room, seemingly aimless in his wandering. This time, it's tinged with an undercurrent of awkwardness, as if neither of you are sure about what to say next. Finally, he relents: "I'm gonna go now."

"Sounds good!" is your automatic reply, and he watches as you immediately facepalm. "Not good as in, you suck get out, good as in, go live your life, I swear."

"Haha, I got it, no worries."

And with that, he's out the door, the image of you shirtless in your own bed seared into his retinas.

Another round wouldn't hurt, right? is all he's thinking about as he walks back to his own dorm, trying to mathematically calculate how much time should pass before he reaches out to you again. Because you, as a person, seem to have him hooked with your charm and your appeal.

Besides, he's already broken one rule with you -- what's the harm in breaking the other two?

[rafesangelita]

For the Latina discourse that’s going around, most of the time Latina’s are being fetished too. White men (not all obviously) especially just see us as people they can hook up with. But since we’re not a white girl, they usually don’t bring us around their families. Depending of course on the situation. Men want latinas cause they assume we’re toxicas. And that we’re feisty and all that shit. That’s why I really love Sofia so much. Cause she doesn’t fit in that mold. I think maybe even the outerbanks writers (I’m assuming here) saw that that wouldn’t be a good direction to go with Sofia. Considering that’s a stereotype. Plus they’re are black latinas too. The Latino community is racist, I won’t lie. we have a long way too go. But I’m just glad we got representation on a show that has a majority of white people. Especially when some shows lack that kind of representation and the actor is actually Mexican! We had to struggle through that shitty Latina representation from On my block. With season 1. So I’m just happy we finally get the real thing. I’m proud of my culture and I’m finally happy we see it on screen

Sorry for how long this is

-cherubharrington btw (tumblr wont let me send this ask on my main 💔)

as a daughter of two non-english speaking parents, who has lived in a small southern town and went to school and grew up with nothing but white kids, the fetishization is real!!! the generalization that all latinas are toxic and feisty just isn’t true. i’ve been on the shy and quiet side for most of my life, it wasn’t until after i graduated high school that i started putting myself out there more. the latino community being racist and colorist within their own bounds is a whole different conversation that i could go on about too, but i’ll keep it limited here <3 i remember watching ‘on my block’ and physically cringing at the olivia’s little outburst.. that was definitely a hard watch.

[megamindsecretlair]

heyy pretty gal 😩💞 been a min! can I plz have ur advice??

So i recently had sex for the first time. p.s. ate that shii DOWN 🏆👀 But it’s embarrassing cuz that mf got me sick .. Iykyk. 😐

I’m so heart broke ONLY cuz it felt so good & I’ve wanted that for so long.... Just for it to negatively affect me emotionally/physically. 💔 And intimacy is so addicting* (especially with childhood traumas.)

So it’s kinda like I played myself. Or did myself a disservice. By giving in, being intimate, & giving chances to someone who didnt deserve it. Damn i feel like a statistic.

But still, why are Black men so.. hurtful.. to Black women?? Should I have kept my promise & waited longer? How do you recoup after experiencing sex? especially after a person/situation like that.

I want to move on.. but idk when I’ll feel that closeness again. And as a Black woman? Im tired of using work/responsibilites as a “healthy” distraction. I just want an emotional break 💔 these niggas piss me off .

~ ik its a lot, but this a safe space right? <3

Hey girl. I am by no means a sex expert or mental health expert, take what resonates, leave what doesn't, but this is indeed a safe space and I'm absolutely honored you trusted me with this.

Having sex is a deeply personal decision, but you should never feel like you did yourself a disservice. FUCK THAT MF 👏🏽👏🏽 HE AINT DESERVE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Unfortunately, theres no way to know that for certain when these mfs are scheming from jump. Black men are conditioned to be coddled. Family, especially Black moms, will cater to and coddle the hell out of their sons. Fix their plates, wash their clothes, etc. So when they get out into the streets, they're looking for that in their partners. Conversely, Black daughters are conditioned to overchieve to the point of perfectionism. They have to be cooks, doctors, therapists, maids, etc and outclass their counterparts in every way possible. So if a man don't get what he thinks he deserves, he feels no qualms about dogging someone out.

I'm sorry your first time sucked. Im so, so, sorry that it wasn't full of love and safety. Do not beat yourself up about this. Sex should be enjoyed safely with consenting partners. You WILL get there. One day, you will be screaming glory to the ceiling. I know this will happen for you 👏🏽

This is only one bad experience. But it cannot color your future experiences. My best advice is to listen to your gut. When you are in tune with the right person, you may not feel butterflies or anxiousness or feel that die hard passion that TV likes to lie about. The right person? Will make you feel safe. You will feel calm around this person. Your worries will melt away because his/her/their priority is to put you at ease. They will listen to you. They will communicate with you. They will never pressure you into something you're not ready for.

They will wait 10 years to have sex with you if you're not ready. And will gladly wait those 10 years to make sure you're safe in their arms. I cannot stress this enough. Communication is your best friend 👏🏽 if you can't open your mouth and communicate your needs with someone you're willing to hop in bed with, why are you hopping in bed with them 🤔

Sex is a journey. A long, complicated, stressful, wonderful journey. The intimacy will come, the love will come. You gon get there, I promise 😚 even if its casual sex and youre not in love with the person, fight that instinct to retreat. Fight that instinct to close yourself off.

You dont need distractions right now, you gotta sit with this feeling. You gotta live with it. You gotta identify what it is youre searching for. And never compromise on that.

Black girls are never afforded opportunities to be soft. To be vulnerable.

Fight it!!! And keep fighting it!!!

C!magic 💔👻👽 and then maybe?? 🦾 (only if you have any ideas)

I will admit, I don’t think I have a great grasp on many characters other than c!Owen.  But I will try my best ✨️

C!Magic

💔 An angsty headcanon

Magic has a hard time eating after the pumpkin incident and it mainly manifests as a loss of appetite and feeling nauseous from certain foods/textures (a lot of which were served during the Feast). It gets better and the others help her through it, slowly reintroducing food in her palette. But she just can't tolerate the smell of pumpkin without feeling bile rise in the back of her throat, and will avoid the pumpkin patch in the community garden.

===

👻 A headcanon about what scares them (angsty as well not going to lie and got a bit long haha)

Magic doesn't like cramped spaces, she doesn't, just doesn't like them. Mmm well that actually wasn’t correct, it wasn't necessarily the physical smallness of a room that bothered her, she been in Graecie's bunker, crowded in Dandelion's pen to sleep next to them.  Been down in the mines and had to squeeze a bit past some of the tighter tunnels.  She could always find her way out, there was a door, a opening or another tunnel that she knew she could leave through back into open air.  She never really knew why.  But learned quickly enough of this phobia, whatever it was, from a light-hearted prank that quickly went sour.  Magic remembers Mae getting her out and holding her shaking body, giving reassurances that she was safe.

Perhaps then, the better way to describe it was that she didn't like it when she couldn't move, when she was restrained and was struck somewhere she couldn't clamber out of. The feeling of being confined in her own body, unable to do anything.

So when Bekyamon pins her down and forces her arms together, she thrashes as hard as she could against the rope.  It doesn’t work.  And she is screaming for this traitor to let her go, please let her go, don’t leave her up here (in here).  Bek doesn’t listen.  Something tight in her chest, and Magic feels like it could burst and collapse into herself. She doesn't like it and her body is trembling and it shouldn’t terrify her more than the fact that she had found out Bek had selfishly let their friends die.  That her friend was a murderer.  But in that moment, she could hardly breath and she could feel rope tying her down to an open grave.  She watches the sun set and waits for doom that never arrives, drowning in her fear.  She doesn’t notice the sun rising or when Owen cuts the rope, Graecie holds her and tries to tell her that she is free.

(Magic sees Spidey leave, but she feels the grip of her hand burning into her shoulder and arms like chains.  She sees Owen shouting at her and asking her questions she doesn’t have the answers to, and she feels like she is backed into the metaphorical corner.  And she starts to remember that terrible place.  Those concrete walls she was trapped in and the uniform they made her wear, and that agonizing sensation returns.  Dread so familiar closing around her, Magic starts to remember why.)

===

👽 A headcanon about a weird quirk

Sometimes she just ends up suspended on high places by her legs and hanging upside down. Magic could be standing against a wall, starting a conversation with someone and end up dangling from a branch as a more comfy spot to talk. Basically like a possum. She doesn't know why, no one knows why, but hey it happens.

===

🦾 A disability headcanon

After Magic fell and needed to be rescued by Owen, she couldn't walk for a bit as it would hurt the leg she fractured. She could use her crutches, but long distances across the clearing was an issue. So she ends up borrowing one of Graecie’s cows and rides around on it, while her leg was healing. Owen helps lead the cow sometimes when they needed to get to some places and Magic couldn't convince the big fella to move. After her leg healed, she still takes some rides when her leg aches too badly to walk or just for fun.  The cow basically becomes her support animal.

paulie's dad stepped out when he was about 9 or 10, and not long after that paulie found his adoptive younger brother, lee. lee was just an infant kitten abandoned that young paulie found and absolutely refused to let go . he cried to his mother that 'someone had just abandoned their son, and wasnt ever gonna come back. so someone needed to make sure that he will never be abandoned again.' which was enough to convince his mom to take in lee

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep

paulie can fall asleep just fine in most scenarios, he just tends to be groggy when he wakes up!!

🍁 MAPLE LEAF - what is their favourite season? why?

fall !! he likes the crisp air and the colors <3

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?

he hates being compared to his father, and he gets REAAAAALLY angry when anyone says nasty shit abt the people he loves. one of the few scenarios he loses control of his temper

✏️ PENCIL - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

LITERALLY ALL OF LINE WITHOUT A HOOK BY RICKY MONTGOMERY that song is 1000000% paulie. its so paulie .

Is the System Killing Us With Workload? 🤔💼

"Work hard. Die fast" ⏳💼

This is what we were having at the funeral. Even with the group chats of my colleagues. We were debating Baldo's death. Does the system design the workplace to kill its most passionate people? Giving them countless workloads to compensate for the love for what they were doing. Are we alive to prove existentially that our work will define our purpose in life and not the other way around? These are the questions that we keep on debating. Especially with the limitations and the wrong connotations with the word 'enough'. I am enraged, I am not blaming Baldo for doing what he loves. But the system exploited this kind of weakness among its people. To me, he was murdered by the 'system' that should care for his wellbeing. His passion and everything. 😡💔

The dramatic phrase "systems murder its people" might sound extreme, but it highlights a very real problem: work overload. Many systems, both technological and organizational, can contribute to a culture of overwork and burnout.

When Systems Become Overlords:

Technology: Constant connectivity and an "always-on" mentality blur the lines between work and personal life. Email notifications and instant messaging keep us tethered, making it difficult to truly disconnect. 

Performance Metrics: Over-reliance on metrics like output and efficiency can pressure employees to work longer hours, even if it comes at the expense of quality or well-being.

Organizational Culture: A culture that glorifies long hours and equates busyness with productivity can lead to presenteeism (being physically present but not necessarily productive) and discourage breaks or setting boundaries.

The Human Cost of Overload

Burnout: Chronic stress and excessive workload can lead to burnout, a state of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness.

Health Issues: Work overload can harm physical and mental health, increasing the risk of heart disease, anxiety, and depression.

Disengagement: Feeling constantly overwhelmed can lead to decreased motivation and a sense of detachment from work.

How to Reclaim Control

Setting Boundaries: Learn to say no to extra work and establish clear boundaries between work and personal life.

Time Management: Prioritize tasks effectively and utilize time management tools to optimize workflow and reduce stress. Communication: Talk to your manager about workload concerns. Advocate for realistic expectations and explore solutions like flexible work arrangements. 

Disconnect to Recharge: Schedule time to unplug from work emails and notifications. Take breaks and vacations to recharge and maintain well-being.

Company/Institutional Culture Shift: Advocate for a cultural shift within your organization. Promote work-life balance and prioritize employee well-being.

Remember, we are not machines. Systems are there to serve us, not the other way around. By being mindful of these factors and taking steps to manage workload, we can work smarter, not harder, and create a more sustainable work environment for everyone. One of the most notable agreements and resolutions that we had is highlighting "Do not make your work your personality". Setting a clear distinction between our work and personal life. It's hard, but we must step up.

Let's work together to prevent systems from becoming our downfall and instead use them to empower us. 🤝💪

💖 Anointed in Love: My Journey from Heartbreak 💔 to Harmonious Marriage 💑 Through the Divine Touch ✨ of Master Prophet Climate 🙏

My name is Sarah, and I am excited to share the incredible testimony of how Master Prophet Climate's prayers and anointing with the oil of a good marriage transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined. For years, I had been longing for a loving and harmonious marriage. Despite my efforts, previous relationships had left me heartbroken and disillusioned. I began to lose hope, believing that true love and a lasting partnership were simply out of reach for me. One day, a friend told me about Master Prophet Climate's ministry and the profound impact it had on her life. Intrigued, I began to follow his teachings and messages. It was during one of his online broadcasts that I heard about the concept of anointing oil for a good marriage. The idea of infusing a physical object with spiritual blessings resonated with me deeply. Filled with hope, I reached out to Master Prophet Climate's ministry, sharing my desire for a loving and lasting marriage. To my amazement, I received a personalized response offering prayers and a vial of anointing oil specifically intended to attract the blessings of a good marriage. It was a gesture of genuine care and support that touched my heart. As I held that vial of anointing oil, I could sense the weight of its significance. With each application of the oil, I prayed fervently for God's guidance, wisdom, and the manifestation of a fulfilling and loving marriage. It was as if a newfound sense of purpose and positivity had been ignited within me. One evening, Master Prophet Climate conducted a special live prayer session for those seeking blessings in their relationships. As he prayed, I could feel his words resonating deep within my heart, carrying with them a sense of divine assurance. It was as though he was speaking directly to my desires and aspirations. Weeks turned into months, and I continued to faithfully anoint myself with the oil of a good marriage while upholding my trust in Master Prophet Climate's prayers. I began to notice shifts in my perspective and interactions with others. I felt more open, more confident, and more attuned to the possibilities that lay ahead. Then, unexpectedly, I met someone who felt like a kindred spirit. Our connection was effortless, and we shared a deep understanding and mutual respect for one another. As our relationship blossomed, I could see the transformative power of the anointing oil at work. Our interactions were marked by love, communication, and a shared vision for the future. As time passed, it became clear that this relationship was unlike any I had experienced before. The bond grew stronger, and the challenges we faced only brought us closer together. Eventually, the day came when my partner proposed, and I said "yes" with overwhelming joy and gratitude. Today, I stand as a living testament to the remarkable blessings that can manifest through the ministry of Master Prophet Climate. His prayers, teachings, and the anointing with the oil of a good marriage have transformed my perspective on love and partnership. I am now preparing to embark on a journey of marriage that I once thought was beyond my reach. I encourage anyone who is seeking a loving and fulfilling marriage to embrace the power of faith, prayer, and the anointing oil. Miracles can happen when you align your desires with God's divine plan and open your heart to the blessings that await. Master Prophet Climate's ministry is a beacon of hope, guiding individuals towards the fulfillment of their deepest aspirations.

[introspective-journaling]

Journaling 1

Recently I forgot everything I know and all of the promises I made to myself to love myself💔. For four years I ignored red flags, gaslighting and manipulation, alcoholism, cheating, secrets, lies, and my own emotions and intuition. I lowered my standards until we were wrapped up in the cycle of a toxic and mentally abusive relationship. Conversation after conversation, argument after argument, chance after chance until I ended it with the police to keep things from blowing up. Being in this type of relationship physically alters the brain, but I didn't know that! I was asking my therapist about my memory and telling my psychiatrist I still have anxiety. Adjusting medication dosages, which probably only made things worse. A person can't heal or grow in toxicity anyway. It's hard to let the people we love go, even when they aren't good for us and we're no longer good for them either. That's hard to accept, but I didn't like who I was becoming.

I couldn't understand someone with seemingly good intentions, asking for more chances while not truly valuing me, themselves, life, or the relationship they're in. Why stay? There was a time they were too good to be true and I'd still get glimpses of that person, so in some way I understand why people struggle to leave. I saw the patterns, but couldn't link my partner specifically with terms like "psychological abuse," if that makes any sense? I'm still not sure if everything we went through was related to their alcoholism, or mental health, or if it's truly a part of their personality too. I really struggle to believe it's who they are deep down, but I can still hear the irritation in their voice from me wanting just a moment out of their day. I still see the emptiness and boredom in their eyes, while I could hardly keep back the tears. I can feel the burning intensity in the same eyes that were empty and cold only hours ago. Turning them on and coming suddenly to life, to convince me you'd never do anything to hurt me. It's hard to respond, my heart is in my throat and my mind is screaming... "Then why do you keep hurting me?"

Regardless of whether it's intentional, hurtful behavior cannot go unchecked or unresolved. If someone can't respect your feelings, take accountability, or follow through on an apology, they don't have the maturity for a healthy and sustainable relationship. When a person is invalidated and manipulated long enough, they become insecure and start contributing to the toxicity. I know this, I've known for a long time yet I kept letting it all slide when nothing got better. I knew this was unhealthy, it felt unhealthy, my feelings and boundaries were ignored, I felt unwanted and intentionally misunderstood, arguments were heated, I wasn't taking care of myself, I called attention to words and behaviors that hurt to no avail, and I still didn't come to the conclusion from all of that, that my partner was using me, keeping me around. Or I simply wouldn't accept it.

The other side to them could be incredibly caring and I think maybe they actually did care at one point a few years ago. They were affectionate, helpful, shared my responsibilities, helped with projects, listened to my thoughts and feelings, prioritized our quality time (all of which I'd hear about during arguments, even if I didn't ask for anything). They spoke kindly, and would repeatedly say they'll treat me better, talk to me respectfully, communicate more, get help with drinking, be more open and honest. They talked beautifully about the future, life together, sent me love songs and promises to change, even talked about buying a house and getting married, reassured me that they truly wanted me. Wanted me... Yes that much was true, but wanting me isn't valuing me, isn't loving me.

Those glimpses of who they were when we met and how wonderful we could be together, are what kept me going... It was rarely followed through, but they used all of the above to say they've "been trying". This led to more confusion, I questioned my own perceptions and thought I might be overreacting. I wasn't sure if I was coming or going in that relationship. All I knew in the moment was that I loved this person. I came to trust them enough to open up in ways I never thought I would, and to hope for a future I didn't realize I wanted. I was craving their quality time and seeking validation, but they had withdrawn to an emotionally unavailable place that I couldn't reach. I cried for like a week and a half thinking I missed them after they left, until one phone call and the texts that followed put it all into perspective. I don't think most people get this moment of clarity, brutal honesty from the person who keeps hurting them. It's the shortest recovery time I've ever experienced from the intense crying phase of a breakup. I do still cry and have moments of deep sadness, but honestly that call and some of the texts made things so clear to me that I have very little to grieve over anymore. The reminders still hurt when I'm hit with intrusive memories, but I'm allowing myself to accept and honor my feelings. Then I have to move on with each day. I have chosen to forgive her and I'm trying to forgive myself too.

I wrote it !! <3

Who between the two is the biggest sweet tooth?

Stan

Who has the highest spice tolerance?

Kyle

What is Stan’s relationship with his family? (Do his parents divorce? Is he on good terms with Shelley?)

Good relationship with his mom and sister. He and Shelly start to get along when they grow up, Shelly denies beating him up and mistreating him (honestly his parents are playing favorites so she is right to be angry aat that age. Stan understands this)

His relationship with his mom is healthy, about his dad...well.. he understands Randy when he is around 20, he accepts his father as he is. He doesn't argue with him like he did when he was a teenager, or try to change him for the better. He keeps a healthy boundary where both of them can be happy.

Randy and Sharon never break up or divorce.

Which one of their parents are they closer to/have a better relationship with?

Both of them are emotionally closer to their mothers.

Does Stan develop addiction problems? And how does this look as he grows up?

He has problems when he is a teenager, Randy enabling his alcohol and weed addiction by supplying him. He stops using any drugs when he is around 20.

Who confessed first?

Stan

Who proposed first?

Kyle, because Stan takes forever and I think he doesn't want to wait longer.

Who’s the clingier one of the two and who is more physically touchy?

Both love touching but Kyle loves it more especially in public.

Who was the first person they told when they got together?

Kyle told Kenny, Stan told his mom.

Do they do long distance when they’re off at college?

Yes! For the plot. They are like "holy shit we really can't seperate, this sucks."

Who’s the morning person/night owl?

Stan is the morning person, Kyle is a night owl.

Lawyer Kyle vs. psychologist/councillor Kyle?

Lawyer!!

Would Kyle continue to practice Judaism as an adult?

Surely!! He loves the community, a great way to connect and know people, and he practices the rituals, and he is absolutely kosher (buying kosher fridge, oven, lamps, food and everything...).

Do they have good relationships with each others family?

Yes!! Though Kyle isn’t a fan of Randy’s weirdness.

Does Sparky move out with Stan when he moves out?

Sparky dies :( 💔

Which one of the two drives them around the most?

They take turns.

Who is most open to kids in the future?

Stan because Kyle doesn't want kids. They decide to not have kids. They're child-free! <3

Would Kyle and Wendy become friends as they grow older because of their similar political and philosophical views?

Wendy is a family friend so yes.

Is Kyle a good cook?

No, he is mid while Stan is fucking fantastic, Randy taught him. So he lets Stan cook every meal (thats okay giving is Stan's love language anyway)

Which one of the two ‘came out’ first/were aware of their attraction to the other?

Stan knew earlier because he is gay. None of them came out until they can't stand the sexual tension between them anymore.

Random Stan and Kyle (+style) questions because I want to know other people’s thoughts, analysis and interpretation of them!!

Who between the two is the biggest sweet tooth?

Who has the highest spice tolerance?

Could you make headcannons for Jay ( Jay Hong from lookism!<3 ) with a hyper feminine s/o?:)) Or headcannons with jay that has an s/o that has adhd and how he'd deal with their mood swings them talking about their hyperfixations, how he deals with their hyperfixations etc<33 it's totally okay if not tho!! DW if u can't make one of those!, I rlly don't mind which one u choose to make :)), I hope my request isn't to complicated!, - miso! ( Sorry if I sent this while ur requests r closed ☹️☹️ I didn't check bc I got kinda distracted I'm sorry ☹️☹️ and sorry if I made it too hard and complicated and stuff, I'm rlly sorry if I did<3, )

jay hong with a (feminine) s/o with adhd

details: gender neutral reader written in 2nd pov, general canon au, you and jay are dating

a/n: no worries at all!! ;_; <33 i focused on the adhd part but added in small bits of the feminine part at the end, hope that works for u!! + thanks for requesting 💖

this was written with the assumption reader and jay communicate the way jay and daniel do !

×

> when it comes to a lover, i don't think jay is even capable of being angry with them so he'd have all the love and patience in the world for you <3

> enjoys listening to you ramble about your hyperfixations! he's an extremely quiet person and prefers to listen rather than talk anyways

> he says just enough to prompt you to continue speaking as long as you like, but most of the time he just smiles and nods ^_^

> generally has a "wow, that's cool :]" attitude about your hyperfixations. expresses interest but doesn't dive into it unless you bring him with you!

> also the type of lover to text and buy you stuff centered around your interests! in a loving "you talk about this a lot, so i think you'll like it!" way

> as someone with a dream to become a doctor, i figure he'd have a good understanding about general mental health! he'd read up more about adhd though to be more understanding about your struggles

> practically has all the money and connections in the world, so whenever you feel like your adhd is getting the best of you, he provides support and resources

> whatever you want is what he wants (i mean this in a healthy way 😭) so he goes with pretty much anything you say. this includes your mood swings; he never makes a big deal out of them and tries to be respectful. always checks up on you later just in case !!

> his money is freely yours to spend, by the way. buy whatever you want to help fulfill your wishes 💖

> he makes sure communication is very explicit between the two of you; aside from valuing how important that is in a relationship, he thinks it's especially important between you, someone with adhd, and him, someone without adhd. the last thing he'd want to do is misunderstand you/hurt your feelings :((

concerning your femininity:

> indulges in your femininity and does what he can to help you express it, especially in terms of appearance! once again his money is yours to use and he'll buy you clothes/makeup he thinks you'd like from time to time <3

> jay gives zero shits about heteronormativity/gender roles and just does what he deems fit but often plays a more masculine role, so view that as you will!

> happy to be more feminine with you, though he still prefers to dress masculinely ^_^

> expresses anger at anyone who slanders you for being feminine, and if needed, may become physical. tries not to though to keep you out of trouble, and usually just tries to get you out of the situation 💔

Wolf:💝❣️❤️💢💔

EMOJI CHARACTER ASKS-WOLF KEUM

💝What are their best qualities as a partner?

💝Say it with me, 👏WOLF👏IS👏LOYAL👏

💝Wolf completely and utterly devoted to you. He doesn't fuck with cheating. There's nothing he hates more than liars and people who think they can get one over on him/his S/O.

💝He is protective. 😳

💝Wolf protective in a strange way, somehow he's both aloof and also insanely volatile. He doesn't care about comments on your social media, whispering on the street, or people staring at you (as long as it's not at him!!)-- probably because he genuinely doesn't notice. However, the moment any overconfident asshole makes it too obvious and says something/lays a hand on you, they'll end up eating concrete while missing 50% of their teeth. “beat it, dumbass. or do i have to hit you again?”

❣️When do they first say I love you?

❣️It will take him a long time to say it. Wolf is not good at expressing himself and depends mostly on acts of service to show affection.

❣️When he admits it out loud, unfortunately for you, it will most likely be at the worst fucking time possible because he doesn't give a shit what other people think.

❣️Imagine this, you just had lunch with him and you're leaving early to study in the library. He'll follow you for a few seconds and just blurt it out loud in the middle of a busy ass hallway. Everyone is gaping at the both of you and you're shocked into silence, but he's straight-faced and just glad he got it over with.

❤️How often do they express love? Verbally or through actions?

❤️ACTIONS, ACTIONS, ACTIONS!!!!!!

❤️Wolf is 100% emotionally backed up so there's no chance in hell he'll express his feelings immediately.

❤️He'll start by hovering near you whenever he can help it. He'll think he's being slick, but Hwangmo and Hayden will also be there; meaning there's a group of dudes with dyed hair and lipstick constantly tailing you. Maybe it's just you, but they're kind of hard to miss-- especially when they scare away all your friends.

❤️When he's more comfortable, he'll start exploring physical touch. He'll make indirect contact by rolling and pinching your hair between his fingers, or feeling the material of your shirt. Although it's sweet of him to take things slow, he's still pretty rough. Prepare for your knit sweaters to be frayed and stretched out from his poking and prodding.

❤️At his most affectionate, he will always want to see what you're doing. Usually he couldn't give less of a shit about other people's routines, but for some reason if its you? he just. wants. to. know. Are you doodling in a book? He's looking over your shoulder, brushing his arm against yours when he points and asks "why does it look like that?" Are you cooking? He's practically joined at your hip. "that smells good. what is that. did you make some for me too?" Trying to walk home? "where are you going? do you want a ride? I have an extra helmet." (You will come to learn he does not. He will give you his helmet and revv his motorcycle to drown out your protests.)

💢What are some habits of theirs that would take some getting used to?

💢Blunt. Wolf can be super fucking mean because he's too straightforward. If you look any sort of way, he will let you know immediately.

💢Pugnacious. He loves to fight whenever he has a reason to, so if you're walking to school with him you'll usually end up late and sometimes disheveled.

💢Dear god, this man doesn't communicate, EVER. Wolf isn't a genius, but he's also not empty-headed. He makes a lot of observations and connects dots in his head without letting you know how he feels or what he thinks, so sometimes misunderstandings, moodiness and agitation can ensue.

💔What could their partner do that would absolutely break their heart?

💔Taking advantage of his trust and commitment.

💔Wolf doesn't like to meddle in relationships specifically because he doesn't want to waste time on something that could be overturned in an instant.

💔Wolf understands that people can naturally drift closer or further apart and he will not hold this against you. However, what gets him seething is someone intentionally wasting his time or becoming disloyal.

💔If you've made it far enough to gain his trust but make a fool of him, he has given everything to you only for you to throw it back in his face. Betraying Wolf's trust is not only hurtful to him but extremely damaging to his ego 😬😬😬 You might want to locate the emergency exit, like, NOW...

Takeaways from Therapy Game: Restart Chapter 12

Hello again all! It’s February, and that means another chapter of our favourite dorks!!! ❤️💛   

Can you believe March is almost upon us? The past two months have really flown by, my gosh! I hope the start of 2021 has been better for you all, whether that be physically, emotionally, mentally, or just in general! 💜 

This month’s chapter of TGR isn’t that long, so I was able to find some time to read it today, but alas I am still late 😭 Work has really picked up this year with this new role, and I honestly am just figuring out my schedule right now, so thank you for being patient!

Hinohara-sensei spoiled us on Valentine’s Day with this month’s colour spread (without all the text) on her official Twitter here!

Ahh, I love them all! ❤️💛💜❤️

Anyway! Here are our takeaways for this chapter:

Ahh, Shizuma, you and your boxers... I’m having second hand embarrassment for you right now! 🤭

Onodera has some humour??😲

AHHH, MINATO, BB NUUUU! It’s okay, it’s not like that, promise! 😭💔

But can I just say, Minato’s scary faces are hilarious! 🤣

Honestly, their communication... is goals! Minato has really improved, but this situation has really tested him! 😭

Surprise cameo by Mito-san and Shouhei! I do love them, but ouch for Shizuma. 🥰

I do love the cameos from all the characters we’ve been introduced to so far in Secret XXX and the Therapy Game series! 🥰 ❤️💛💜❤️

Minato, what are you.... where? What? 🤔🤔🤔

AHHHHH! THIS ENDING! 😭

And that’s it for this chapter’s takeaways! For a more detailed breakdown/summary of this chapter, please continue after the cut! As always, I promise there's a surprise (or two?) in this summary!  😉✨

We start where we left off, Onodera has opened the door for Shizuma at the hospital. Minato, still in the car, looks over and reads Shizuma’s lips. He notices he is talking to his director (Onodera) who is completely different to what he imagained she’d be like. She seems uninterested in Shizuma, so Minato doesn’t see her as a threat.

Shizuma apologises to Onodera for coming back to late and asks her if he could go in to collect some “belongings” he’s forgotten. Lo and behold, Onodera understands what he’s said and brings out his boxers from her pocket!

Shizuma, very visibly flustered, asks why she has it, while Minato is also looking on from the car with wide eyes. She flatly says his boxers were dry and they would’ve been a bother if she’d just left them for other staff members to see. Shizuma goes to collect his boxers now that he understands her reasoning.

Onodera holds onto the boxers for a bit, while Shizuma is confused. She then lets go, saying it was merely a joke. Again, Shizuma is flustered and just cannot understand her. She then calls Shizuma by his actual name (Ikushima-sensei) and proceeds to tell him to collect his scrub pants tomorrow since they’re still drying. He notices that she called him by his actual name, so she politely reminds him that he’s the one who told her that she should remember his name properly. She also tells him not to quit so easily since she’s finally remembered the name of a new comer to her hospital who could potentially leave them at a moment’s notice.

Shizuma smiles at her comment, and very happily says he will do his best. Unbeknownst to Shizuma, Minato has seen him give her a stupidly happy grin. After all that, Shizuma returns to the car, telling Minato that his business at the hospital is over, but Minato is not in the car! 

Fast forward to the next day, and we see the nurses are looking into the surgical room Onodera and Shizuma are in. They overhear Onodera calling Shizuma by his actual name--the second person to have this honour after Nakajou-sensei, apparently--and notice they have gotten closer. One nurse also curses that she’s been called the wrong name for 10 years now. They ponder at what could’ve happened that day when Shizuma worked on his day off. Tatsumi sees the nurses, then approaches Shizuma about it in the men’s change room.

Before Tatsumi gets some answers out of Shizuma, we see Shizuma gloomy and ask Tatsumi’s opinion about a text he received from Minato that says: “I went home first. I’m not mad or anything. Just leave me alone for a while.”

Tatsumi is slightly annoyed that Minato is on Shizuma’s mind at a time like this! Shizuma goes on saying that he’ll leave Minato alone since that’s what he wrote in the message and they’ll start messaging each other again once his mood improves. Then he ponders how Minato misunderstood the situation with the director and blames the boxers as the cause. Tatsumi is confused and asks Shizuma to clarify what’s going on. But Shizuma just keeps going on a tangent and talks to himself about his situation with Minato, which is freaking Tatsumi out a little.

Tatsumi doesn’t think Shizuma is the type of person to cheat on anyone (since he was cheated on himself!). Shizuma then comes to his senses and tells Tatsumi that he’ll explain this whole thing about him and the director to him another time. He then adds on that compared to Minato she is cute and isn’t difficult at all, with dark bags under his eyes. Tatsumi is still confused, as he believes everything Shizuma is saying has a deeper meaning to it.

Just then, Onodera opens the door and asks if Shizuma is around. She simply asks Shizuma to get some bread since the ones in the fridge have gone off. He says he will while telling her to knock on the door since she surprised Tatsumi. Shizuma excuses himself and leaves first, leaving Onodera in the room, looking over at a nervous Tatsumi.

We change locations to Minato, who has just arrived home. As he dismounts his motorbike, Shizuma welcomes him back, leaning casually on a wall with a flat face and a slight frown. Minato continues to walk to his apartment and reminds Shizuma that he asked to be left alone, ignoring the fact that Shizuma is trying to clear up the misunderstandings. Shizuma kabe-dons him (i.e. slams his hand on the wall and stops Minato from walking further) and asks him directly why he ran away and why he’s angry.

With his helmet still on, Minato lifts the face shield visor on his helmet, and with wide, scary, glaring eyes, he once again reminds Shizuma that he said he did not run away nor is he angry. Shizuma is visibly confused as Minato’s words and his expressions don’t match up.

Minato then asks Shizuma why he didn’t tell him about his director sooner. Shizuma says he had every intention to tell Minato about his director since Minato was worried about it ever since the drinking party (the one with the nurses, probably) but he couldn’t since Minato was really busy and he didn’t want to ramble to Minato about how he and Onodera didn’t get along well at the beginning. He felt that it was just boring complaints so he avoided it altogether.

Minato tells Shizuma that he would’ve listened to it, even if he was just complaining, and reminds Shizuma to rely on him more. Shizuma looks over softly at Minato and takes his hand, agreeing with everything he said. He places his forehead on Minato’s and promises to next time.

He then asks Minato to take off his helmet since he wants to see him properly, to which Minato says it’s too late for him to be acting all spoilt* (the word here is 甘える which can be used to mean “to spoil” or “to depend on”. Depends on the context).

Shizuma then tells Minato that it’s because of his words that Shizuma was able to overcome the troubles he had at work and gain the opportunities to continue forward. Minato then understands that Shizuma’s relationship with Onodera improved because of him, and scowls. Before Shizuma can clarify what he said, Minato sarcastically says he’s glad he could give good advice without he himself knowing he had. Shizuma calls Minato’s name, and Minato then tells Shizuma that he doesn’t understand why Minato is upset/worried. Angrily scowling at Shizuma once more, Minato slams his front door in front of Shizuma, yelling: “Don’t think that you’re always being deceived!”

Shizuma drives home, tired from the fact he made Minato unnecessarily angry. He realises that this might be the first time since they’ve started dating that Minato’s been mad at him, but can’t get over how adorable his angry “get away from me” face is.

Just as he is walking to his house, he sees Mito-san drop off Shouhei and the good night kisses they exchange. 

Shouhei is all giddy from that but is then surprised by Shizuma’s sudden appearance. Shizuma tells Shouhei to not pick such a conspicious place if he’s going to get all embarrased.

Inside the Ikushima residence, Shouehi tells Shizuma that Mito-san dropped him off since they don’t have many chances of doing that again--Mito-san and Shouhei are moving in together! Shouhei is all excited again, outlining what he has to do in the lead-up to his moving out. Shizuma is surprised that Shouhei is moving out to live with Mito-san. Shouhei then proceeds to blab on about how he’s the first to move out with his lover and that he’s surprised he’ll be moving out before Shizuma, but reminds Shizuma to ask him whenever he and Minato want to move out together... all the while unknowning that Shizuma and Minato have been working on that all along!

Shizuma then comments on how nice it is that Mito-san and Shouhei get along well. When Shouhei reminds him that he’s got Minato, Shizuma then tells him that they’re not talking at the moment. Shizuma then continues to think about what it could be that is upsetting/making Minato worry but draws a big blank. Shouhei, seeing his brother all contemplative, just reassures him to keep apologising to Minato since he’ll forgive him for it anyway, to which Shizuma says: “Would be nice if that were the case...” We then see Minato smoking on his balcony, looking out into the dark night sky.

The next day, Shizuma goes to Minato’s place, but is surprised when no one answers the doorbell. He calls Shouhei, who tells him that Minato isn’t at work but has a day off and rejected Shouhei’s invitation to play games with him. He then mentions that Minato might be busy with his other job--the photography project.

Shizuma then calls Mama at the bar, and Mama says Minato is not there either since it’s his day off and is probably using this free time to complain about the costuming work for the photoshoot. One of the ladies from the bar comments that he might have run away (from Mama?) and Mama tells her to keep quiet.

Shizuma then visits Mito-san, who also tells him that Minato is not with him. He says Minato should be at home if he isn’t at work or doing photography, but suggests that he might be with his friends.

Shizuma then calls Minato’s friends (the ones who wants the foursome) and calls them while they’re having some “rough play”. They say he isn’t with them and might be at some random guy’s house. They then remind Shizuma about their wanting a foursome, and Shizuma just hangs up the phone.

We end the chapter with Shizuma standing in front of Trois Lapin, wondering where Minato is.

And that’s it for this chapter! Another cliffhanger! Ahhhhh! I too am finding myself thinking where Minato could be? Is he back at his childhood home? Or is he off somewhere planning some sort of surprise? I DON’T KNOW! Ahah 😅😭

Again, THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR! 💜 📢  As always, please support Hinohara-sensei by purchasing her books and CDs! 📢

There won’t be a chapter in the next issue of Dear+ so I assume we might get the next chapter in 2 months’ time! I’ll see you guys again for our next set of takeaways! I may or may not work on something in the meantime~ 😉😍  

As always, stay safe during these turbulent times and look out for each other and for your loved ones! 💜

i need to vent abt life stuff Lol readmore bc its so so long i have no other outlets

like ok first of all i have work tomorrow 💔💔 but also the play im in rn is stressing me out so much like i am the only one 100% off book and the performance is in less than a month and theres this one girl in my cast i actually hate. like shes so horrible to be around and she makes weird comments and she stands So close to me all the time and i dislike her so much its impacting my acting (today i skipped a line bc she messed up hers and i got upset). she also is sooo self deprecating and every time i or the director (a good friend of mine which is why i cant drop out) gives her pointers to work on she just says "omg im so trash omg im such a stupid idiot loser" AND DOESNT CHANGE HER ACTIONS. like girl no one gives a shit. she also makes cancelled jokes all the time and weird like. 2016 pseudo offensive jokes too. shes legit a horrible person lol we had a holocaust survivor come in to speak and she was on her phone the Entire Time listening to music so i dont feel that bad abt disliking her :/ ive become so so mean in rehearsals i ignore her 99% of the time (she makes comments incessantly and is literally incapable of reading the room and is not funny) and i just critique the other actors all the time (im the codirector so i can do this). which is useless btw because no one listens to me even when its fucking basic acting skills like "project" and "stop fidgeting". like they should not need this much micromanaging just fucking get off book (theres only Three Scenes to memorize!!!) and learn the basics. im usually a very nice and chill person but i swear to god they do not realize that this is a Performance and not a fucking club you can just go to and then forget about??? ugh what else. also my friend has been annoying me lately bc they embarrass me a lot in public and idk how to tell them not to bc theyre like that to everyone and i just get easily embarrassed bc it makes me feel physically in pain to be embarrassed and im constantly aware of peoples opinions about me. like i know communication is the key here i just dont know how to be nice about it. by "embarrass" i mean like. theyve jokingly outed me multiple times (and i am out to Six People) and theyve also like. joked about me being seriously homophobic which people sometimes take seriously ? and they talk abt embarrassing mistakes ive made sometimes. idk. i dont mind when they do it in private but when they do it constantly in public it actually makes me feel like crying and my face gets all red. what else do i need to talk about. Speaking of friends i have no friends outside of school and even then its only like half a dozen people who have my number when everyone else in my grade either has online friends or friends from neighboring towns. like i dont hang out with people. idk it makes me sad. theres this girl i want to be friends with who used to be one of my childhood friends but idk how to go about that even though we talk sometimes and we like each other :( im too shy. im not too worried rn bc i know ill make friends in college its just upsetting now. but it does make you feel like something is wrong with you when the kids at your school have significant others and multiple friends that they bring down to the cape and you stay at home and watch movies with your mother LOL. im also sad to be growing up and i cant read the news or it makes me upset and i just sit in my room and read books and dont do my schoolwork. sigh. i need to go to bed
