Bride of Discord chapter 11: The Direction

Another moon passed. Once again the sun rose. More twinkling stars. More shifting clouds. Another arrival of Orange-pink breaths reminding fluttershy of her triumph with her Choice. Another gale of wind she would never get to feel.

The sun was shining on the forest with every inch of grateful warmth, in The midst of an incoming winter. Of course, her kindness would never go unnoticed, as Kimono made her way to the force field Discord put up and around. She gave way to raps on the material.

Discord zoomed over in an instant, startling Kimono away from her spot.

"I knew you were gonna do that, and yet I flinched."

Kimono shouted something from beyond the field. Discord cupped his ear.

"What?"

She pounded agitated on the wall. The draconequus chuckled.

"Oh, right."

He snapped his fingers and a hole appeared in the wall, allowing Kimono to slip through.

"Thank you," she muttered.

"So what brings you here, neighbor?" Discord asked cheerfully. "Come to borrow a cup of sugar?"

A cup of sugar materialized in his paw.

"Thank you, but the reason I came by was not for sugar, but for Fluttershy."

He twiddled his fingers. "Oh. You're terribly lucky your territory isn't part of the deal! I'd've had to wage war or something if you came in unannounced from Ponyville!"

"I made sure to check with the Duchess Twilight Sparkle that I could visit. By the by, The forest has seemed more lively as of late. Pray tell, where is Fluttershy?"

"Oh, yeah! She's in the garden. I've been following your friend's advice, you see? I made her a garden, brought all her animal friends, and she hugged me afterwards!" He sighed. "You wouldn't believe how great things have been going! We're even friends! She said so herself! It's not quite what I had expected, but it means I'm one step closer to marrying her! And it's all because I gave her something that wasn't material!"

A laugh from the pony reminded him of her presence. He blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck. His eyes twinkled.

"Um, I mean… man, is it hot in here or what?"

Thinking quickly, he snapped his fingers and teleported them to the garden. The pegasus was feeding the ducks. Some even had turtle shells, courtesy of Discord.

"Fluttershy!" Discord called.

She turned her head. Her hair was filled with burrs and sticks, feathers that weren't her own adorned her smile.

"You have a visitor."

She blinked in confusion. "Huh?"

Discord stepped aside to reveal the zebra. Even though she and Kimono were not that close, Fluttershy was thrilled to see a familiar face and rushed to embrace her.

"But I don't understand," she said as she pulled away. "I thought I wasn't allowed any visitors."

"Well," Discord said slowly as he tried to come up with an excuse. "Well, Kimono's living area is classified as it's own nation, and the princesses left her land out of the 'stay outta here' agreement because they didn't govern it!"

Kimono nodded and smirked. "It's true! The princesses and duchess can't decide what to do with my land for me. Besides, I have to be let in since I am the keeper of pony history."

"haha! Good stuff. Toodle-oo!"

After he had vanished, Kimono smiled at Fluttershy softly.

"I've never been more exited to be able to witness a firsthand account of such a powerful event! But of course, I'm mainly here to ask about your personal status. Our friends are very curious."

The pegasus gasped. "Are they alright?"

"They worry for you, and I will admit I did too. And this is why I need to know. Does Discord treat you well? I need details."

He sat like a cat and wrote with her fountain pen in her mouth.

"You'd be surprised at how kind he's been!" She gestured to their surroundings. "Look at what he's done!"

"Hmm," Kimono mused. "Does he make you happy?

The skritching and scrawling stopped suddenly as she waited for her answer.

"Oh, yes! You were right. So far I've been happy, except…"

She looked down, her hair falling over her eye. Kimono lifted her chin up.

"Do you feel lonely,?"

"Well," she stammered. "I miss my friends. He won't let me visit them." She sighed. "Because of the deal. I appreciate everything he's done to make me comfortable, but…" She gazed up at the sky. "Sometimes I feel like I'm still his prisoner. There's also the fact that he…"

She trailed off. Kimono raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

Fluttershy glanced up at her. "You won't tell any pony?"

"I'll have to write it down eventually. My reviewers will know, but never tell."

She breathed. "I…I think he's in love with me."

She waited for Kimono's reaction, but she did not look the least surprised. This confused her, but Fluttershy had to get all of this off her chest and she hoped Discord was not listening.

"Every night, he asks me if I love him."

"Do you?"

She hesitated. "I always say no. We made a deal. I will not marry him until I say yes. I thought it was just a game at first, but…he's been so gentle, and every time I say no, he looks hurt. And…the way he's so kind me me even when I say no…it doesn't upset me, but…I just…I…"

As she trailed off, Kimono grinned. "It is as we said. A yearn for love is what has led Discord to taking a bride."

She gulped. "I…I suppose I could love him, if he wasn't so…possessive of me." She looked at the zebra in desperation. "You understand, my friends can't know about this! They have enough to worry about! Just tell them I'm alright and that I'm not married yet."

"will do, dear Fluttershy. Tell me everything I'd need to know. Every detail."

An hour went by of just sitting and talking and stretching. Petting fur, roaring water. Little drips and clicks of animals doing nothing in particular. Kimono left and nearly fell off of a cliff.

"NOOOO!!! HOW WILL THIS BE DOCUMENTED?! IM THE ONLY ONE ON THE JOB!"

she was caught by Discord.

"Whoops," he said. "Forgot to tell you about that."

He snapped his fingers and teleported them to the ground. He knelt down and whispered to her.

"Did she say anything about me?"

She smirked. "Can't say. Legally."

"Come on! Can't you at least tell me if she likes me? At least…do you think she does?"

She sighed. "These things take time, dear draconequus. My advice? Love is to watch things love. When the brokenhearted living in the world can agree, our nature is to live out our domain of the free."

"What."

"The ruined lovers unfold each other's wings and fly in opposite directions. An old passage from our history books."

Now he knew how he had made the ponies feel in the labyrinth as she walked off.

Discord lay sleeping on a branch offwhere, listening to his bride-to-be. How tantalizingly his plan danced like candle smoke. He inhaled the char, and felt it coat his sinuses. Had it not been so easy to spew every hymn of his genius scheme, he was sure he'd've never talked to that pony.

Fluttershy tried to convince Angel to eat cilantro.

"Come on, Angel," she begged softly. "Just one little bite?"

The rabbit shook his head violently.

"How about a teeny nibble?"

He shook his head again and kicked the carrot away. Fluttershy glared at him and then opened her eyes as wide as she could, giving him that Stare of hers. Angel was intimidated by it and chewed desperately on the cilantro. He loved it, of course.

"Amazing," Discord murmured.

To think that such a pony with no magic at her disposal could possess such a power, especially one so seemingly innocent! While the Stare scared most creatures, it attracted this one. This small chaotic quality of hers fascinated him, as did everything else about her. He was so close to winning his queen. He just had to step up his game.

"Come on, what can I do for her? Flowers? Chocolates?"

"How about you stop spying on me?"

Discord shrieked in surprise, causing him to fall out of the tree. He looked up to see a cross Fluttershy. She looked at him mischievously. In every way, she also wanted to help him up, wrap him in a blanket and carry him off

"Exactly how much privacy do I actually get?" She asked as her down turned eyes squinted whilst she smiled. The bags under her eyes softened as of late.

The draconequus laughed nervously. "Well, um…"

"I mean, I dot. Wanna be rude... But do you have any hobbies?"

He paused and lifted a brow.

"I dear, im really sorry-"

"Friends want to spend time together right?"

"Then why didn't you say so?

"I…you see…um…" He groaned. "I got nothing."

He waited for her scolding, or whining, or even that Stare, but she laughed instead. He looked up at her in confusion.

"You're not mad about me invading your privacy?"

"Mad?" she said. "Discord, this isn't the first time I've caught you. It's a little disconcerting, but I'm not mad. It's your first time spending any real moments with a pony for so long! Besides, now that you're in the clear, you can help me feed the animals."

"No problem!"

He stood up and readied his fingers, but Fluttershy flew up and pressed her hooves against his paw, shaking her head.

"I want you to feed them from your paw."

He blinked. "You mean…walk right up to them and…expect them not to run away? To accept food from me?" He threw up his hands. "No offense, but count me out!

"Won't you at least give it a try?"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm not 'one with nature' like you. Those things will run away at the sight of me. They're smart enough to do so." He looked at a corvid near him, staring brainless with it's dumb yapping vacant bird eyes. He summoned a giant green mask with a ghoulish face and scared it off, with a loud "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA." It flew away haphazardly with it's stupid idiot bird body with little dumb hollow bones, but not before pecking his head.

He glanced at her as she placed some acorns in his paw. "Well, I think it's time we changed that, don't you, junkman?"

"junkman?"

"cuz you're always picking scraps!" She laughed, and held her hoof above her muzzle.

She pointed towards a group of squirrels. Discord stared at her, then at the acorns, then at the squirrels, and then at her again. She gestured toward the animals again, sternly narrowing her eyes. He sighed.

"Oh, alright!

The things he did for this pony

Sighing again, he advanced towards the squirrels. "Alright, you little rascals! Lunchtime!"

The critters squeaked as he knelt down to them and they raced into a hole in a tree. Discord glanced back at Fluttershy.

"What did I tell you?"

She giggled as she glided to his side. "You need to be gentler." She took some of the acorns from his paw. "Here, watch me."

Okay! I'll do it, he thought as she floated to the tree. But I won't like it.

"Shhh," she whispered. "It's okay."

At the sound of her voice, the squirrels poked their heads out.

"There's nothing to be scared of. Discord's not going to hurt you." If course, how did she know that for sure?

She then set the acorns down at the tree's base and stepped back. In a few seconds, the squirrels climbed down and stuffed the acorns into their mouths. Some smaller squirrels then appeared and tried to get acorns themselves, but could not get to the pile.

Fluttershy nodded towards Discord and gestured. His head bobbled every which way, so as to say no. She narrowed her eyes and pointed her hoof commandingly at the squirrels. He shook his head again insistently. Fluttershy put her hooves together gently, and pleadingly pouted her soft powder blue puppy dog eyes.

The squirrels stiffened at the sight of him, but did not run away immediately. He stuck out his paw, showing them the acorns inside. They stared at the treats and then at him. Discord furrowed his brows, not if aggravation, no. Moreso, he wanted desperately not to be reject by nature, by a part of him.

Fluttershy put her hoof on his paw and gently pushed downward, signaling for him to set the acorns on the ground. He did so and the squirrels took them and fled.

"There," Discord stated bluntly. "I fed them. May I go now?"

"Oh no you don't, mister," Fluttershy insisted. "There are plenty more animals that need feeding. Please?"

"why? They're not like us, they can't even feel grateful! It's a good feeling!"

"Please, Discord? There's more to them..."

"They only know to be afraid and to be fed! They don't get to feel the beautiful and horrible things we do... why do I want the approval of something so simple?"

"because that's what we are! We're silly little ponies and draconequi, and we make up nature. This isn't what we come from, they are us, and they feel just as much as we do."

...

"I'm not a doctor, goodness no... but I think you just wanna know that it's not in something's nature to hate you."

She lay a hoof on his forearm.

"they feel like us. You feel like we do. I promise."

His bottom lip remained bruised and red as discord fought the growing sting in his throat. His claw outstretched.

She grinned and gave him a handful of birdseed and pointed towards a flock of birds pecking at the ground. Discord gulped and made his attempt. They flew further away with every step he took toward them.

He was about to give up when Fluttershy flew down to him and took a small amount of the seed out of this paw and onto the ground in front of him. One bird pecked at the seed curiously and then flew into Discord's hands to get the rest. The draconequus lightened with every breath, like he dropped a heavy bag.

"See?" she said. "All you have to do is show them they can trust you."

"wack! Totally bogus."

One of the feathery freaks flew off.

"huh. Was it something I said? I think I'm a little too much!"

Fluttershy laughed, which made Discord soften a bit. He then reflected on what had just happened and started laughing himself.

"no no, I don't think you're too much! We're all birds in a way!"

"I looked ridiculous, didn't I?"

She shook her head. "No. It was cute."

He blinked at her. "Cute?"

"Does that offend you?"

"No! It's just that…" He glanced down at his feet. "No pony's called me 'cute' before."

He would never admit this aloud, but he kind of liked it. That'd be the death of him.q

As she forced him to feed the rest of the animals, Discord was beginning to question his pride. Here he was, offering food to fluffy creatures all to please one measly pony? Had he really gone from being the Lord of Chaos to a sappy pushover? These thoughts running through his head and the fluffy critters pawing at him made him want to explode, but one glance at the pegasus' sweet, beautiful face calmed him down every time.

When they were finished, Fluttershy gave Discord a hug, which literally tied his stomach into knots. He had to subtly snap his tail feathers to untie them.

"Thank you, Discord," she said. "You were a big help."

She started to pull away, but he wrapped his arms around her and held her a while longer. Fluttershy blinked up at him.

"Um…you can let go of me now, Discord. Discord?"

"Hmm? Oh, right!" He reluctantly released her. "But first, my dear, you have to pay up."

"yeah! I think we should have silly favors! So no one has a one-up on each other!"

She stared at him and then shrugged. "I suppose that's fair. What do you want me to do?"

Discord thought for a moment and then smiled smugly at her. "How's about a tune?"

Fluttershy stiffened, her wings folding up. "S-Sing?!"

He coiled himself around her. "I simply love the sound of your voice! Music is my favorite language!... besides Yiddish."

"Oh but…I can't sing…"

"Don't be ridiculous! You mind?" Fluttershy shrugged, nodded, and looked off in the distance. "You were magnificent at the gala!" He scratched her throat latch.

"But…not while you're…watching… It feels scarier than an audience."

"Come now, my dear. It's only me." He tilted her head towards him. "Just this once. I'll never ask you again."

She looked away, her hair falling over her eye. "I…I'm not prepared…"

"Take all the time you need, there's no rush!"

"But what song should I…?"

Fluttershy gulped as he leaned toward her.

"There's no need for you to be nervous, Fluttershy. I won't laugh at you."

She inhaled deeply and began to sing, before chuckling anxiously and stopping, nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

"would It help if you had a request? I don't care if you make up words, I just like your voice. And how you get into it."

..."like what?"

"Candlelight orchestra?"

Gulping once more, she sang again. She was startled when backup vocals came from nowhere. She turned to see the birds singing gently, finding where they began on the solfège, the key signature, the cadence.

"You're sailing softly through the sun

In a broken stone age dawn

You fly so high..."

Her wings unfurled once more, her vibrato shook his core like a radiator. She visibly struggled not smiling. Discord watched in awe, his ears taking in that melodious voice of hers, smooth like flan. It overtook his muscles and lulled them to rest. God, why a sound like that could be so alluring to him. In fact, he could not understand why everything about this pony allured him. She was unfamiliar, uncharted territory.

A bold move made by discord, he takes her shoulder. The other arm is slung between them, hung out as an invitation. This invitation would not go untaken. He lifted her hoof over her head and twirled her around, and the rushing air intertwined her eyelashes and skittered them. Her hair flounced around her, it was silken lace around her form like a shawl. He wrapped around her.

"I get a strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic"

Fluttershy thought back to when he had done this at the Grand Galloping Gala. That dance had been unwarranted; this was a gentle embrace, a celebration of their own lives. This was the all encompassing and horrible consuming of partiality, inclination. Of intimacy and feverish amity.

"You're walking meadows in my mind

Making waves across my time

Oh no, oh no"

As the birds sang the bridge, Discord twirled her, so gentle as to not lose her from his grip, ever again. Fluttershy was getting so dizzy, a fuzzy static dulled her stumble as she floated above everything, atop the clouds amd stars. Surely they were actually floating. Discord caught her in a dip, and just as she feathered above the thick air they let out with every breath, she inhaled water, soaking into every feather.

"I get a strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic"

She was ensnared in silk, barely dipping her hoof in the clearest liquid crystal below her.

"Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again

Now I've seen the way it's got to end

Sweet dream, sweet dream"

She opened her eyes, meeting his, absentmindedly

"Yeah I got a strange magic

Strange magic..."

The two were locked in each other's gaze for a long while, until Discord slowly brought her up to his eye level. He gently brushed her mane back, so he could get a better look at her face. Before either of them knew it, the distance between them was decreasing as he pulled her nearer to him and they closed their eyes.

Their lips were only inches away when Fluttershy opened her eyes again and realized what was happening. She gently pushed his face away and laughed awkwardly.

"Uh…"

Discord opened his eyes and gave an equally embarrassed laugh.

"Well, um…"

Fluttershy removed his hands from her body and held them out in front of her. "Are we, um…even?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah! That was…" He met her eyes again. "Lovely. Music, girl! That's the power of music theory! Amirite?"

They stared at each other awkwardly for a while, until Fluttershy looked down and rubbed her arm.

"I should get to bed... princess Luna has a job for a reason ahah!"

Discord watched her fly away and sighed sadly. That night, the question dare not be uttered by one breath.

sad rant about an album i really like below the cut

butterflies drink turtle tears by human people is a deeply sad album, or it is to me at least. multiple songs have repeating choruses that amount to "please kill me", the whole album is kinda just a girl wailing about how all she does is get high and wish she was dead, even the instrumental parts of the songs drive home this feeling of just. feeling like absolute shit. its the type of sadness that makes you wail at 3 am that everything is awful and will never get better and it would just be great if a plane crashed into your house, but then you fall asleep and carry on to do the same thing and not change anything.

there is a reason why i like this album so much

this album has been with me through truly my lowest points in my life. i have played this album from the moment i woke up some days, desperately hoping that everything would just. stop. that being a functional person and just life in general is just too hard, and it would be better for everyone involved if i just died.

this album does not end with a happy message about how these feelings are wrong. it doesnt say anything about these feelings. it doesnt have a hopeful message at the end about how life gets better. it just lets them out. like bloodletting. just throwing these awful feelings into the void. maybe someone will connect with these feelings, the album seems to say, but it doesnt really matter cause i still feel like shit. it is an album that explores these feelings of depression and isolation from someone who has not figured it out. that connected with me (i wonder why)

just today i went to go look for the lyrics so i could sing along. i just looked up the album title and nothing else cause ive always read it as nonsense. just a jumble of words to go along with an album that is just a jumble of feelings. its kinda charming honestly.

then i saw this

and i immediately started crying

butterflies literally do drink turtle tears

im not sure why it hit me so much, but the idea that the name isnt just random words really affected me

i immediately told my dad, then my friend, then changed my discord status, and now im making this post

it feels... odd. almost out of place with what i imagined this album was as a piece of art. so many things clicked into place, or at least it felt like it. thinking about it now still makes me tear up

just. the idea that this album, pretty much 30 minutes of uninterrupted suicidal ideation and depression and isolation, an album that i have listened to on some of the worst days of my entire life, an album i relate to a scary amount. the idea that its named something so... hopeful. almost to say,

"we are here for you. people are here for you. you are not alone. if even a turtle has someone to wipe their tears away, then so do you.

and if you dont, let this album be that for you. let this be the butterflies that drink your tears when no one else will"

it really made me think about the album in a totally different light. go listen to it. its really good

#look at my posts boy #idk its just been on my mind all day

CPN : the argument of XZ being “single” + my reflections

Let me start this post with one Candy that stood out to me today before we get to a more serious is it really lol topic. You may find a few other ones floating around but this one got me:

The BGM of GG’s Douyin video is from the Soundtrack of Suicide Squad. The same movie features the character of Joker, which they both love. Tho for things like this, I feel like the team just uses what’s popular on Douyin. What got me with the BGM is how it seemed like something you would use for a hiphop theme. They are literally showing how gorgeous XZ is, a pop song will be more appropriate.

Now that I gave a little sweetness, Let’s go to the main topic of this post.

If you haven’t seen this talk going around then that’s fine, in the grand scheme of things— it should not matter. With all the content going on from both sides and Bobo going back to being active on screen, this is not an important topic. However, it made me reflect on this issue and how fans operate. Also how as BXGs we should take this things and I AM SURE some really toxic people will use this as leverage to bully turtles. the whole talk of his relationship status has been gaining some traction lately because of a recent incident that @rainbowsky already detailed here.

Today, this account which is called Opinion Book mainly for 🍤 posted.

What is this accout you ask? It’s basically one that posts fan etiquette especially in times of discord. It has good intentions and I have found it to be a pretty level headed account that aims to pacify fans when things are chaotic. They allegedly also are able to directly communicate with XZS. They published what was “communicated” to them and a lot of it are no brainers tbh. Do not believe in melons and just wait for announcements of XZ’s new work. Do not follow him and his family during his private itinerary. Don’t start fan wars and be instigated by antis. However the cause of the buzz is this particular statement:

In addition, We have recently seen many rumors about the romance of the artist circulating on the Internet. False rumors have even risen to attack the artist himself. Although it has been a question and had been refuted many times, but we have made clarification again, all rumors are false. The artist is single. please don't be maliciously led by unknown people.

and well you guessed what happened. this has been taken as truth and an absolute confirmation that XZ is single and that all CPF should cease to exist. There is a lot to unpack here so I want to start with how credible is this account. What the hell are the “refuted many times” they are talking about?

1. I mentioned that I found this account as a good one. Is it necessary? I don’t think so. However I feel like it had to be made so as not to have a repeat of the 2020 fiasco and just in general to guide fans because XZ has a lot. Other celebrities may have way more followers than him like 80-100M on weibo but the difference is, his are very active. I still maintain my stance that the only official source of news is XZ STUDIO and Xiao Zhan himself, especially if it’s something personal. for dramas/endorsements/etc then the projects involved are definitely the true source. If a statement is not sealed, stamped and posted by XZS then it’s not be taken as coming for Xiao Zhan’s mouth.

2. The only “fan account” followed by XZS is the one with Patrick’s profile pic on it. It’s job is to clarify.

I’ve said it in the past that I don’t really have much love for Clarification accounts especially for personal matters. I understand some fans may want to clarify but I think it should be for career reasons, like if someone claims that GG is taking unnecessary leave on set because he is lazy or something.

3. The next question here is did XZS ever say that GG is single? Did the Patrick Account every say that he is single? The short answer is No.

Patrick Account refuted the following ( most recent and relevant ) :

• That GG is secretly married and has a child all because of a photo of him holding a baby was leaked. FYI, it was his friend’s kid.

• Li Qin dating rumors, the most recent one is because she was seen in the same restaurant as him. having dinner.

• The rumor that Antis love to spread : That he is dating his Manager 😂

All of these rumors were specifically marked as false. They did not say single. Just false and do not believe it.

As for XZ Studio, they do not mention the name of the other party. It’s what these studio accounts do. However people know who they are referring to because of what rumor is going on HS and is being talked about on that day. There are times they will just mention the User ID, and you just gotta look at what person is posting to get the gist that XZS is refuting it too. For example a specific account was mentioned and it had a lot of posts about XZ dating MZY. If they think it’s getting too much talk— they release some statement. But never that XZ is single. The message is always more on do not participate in talks like that and concentrate more on his works and your personal life.

The credibility of that account and it’s confirmation all boils down ( I think ) to the person reading it. As with all things in this day and age, you will believe what benefits you. Confirmation bias is very strong. The people who are screaming this from their accounts are the very same people who already had this idea in mind to begin with. For me the most interesting thing that even got me into making this post is what can we learn from this? I will try and make my thoughts/reflections as coherent as possible lol but here you go:

1. As a CPF and someone who believes in SZD, I always leave a percentage that I could be wrong. No matter how the evidence says otherwise. Am I mad and screaming right now? Obviously not. This incident comes at the right time because I’ve been talking recently about the fact that not all things should be made into a candy. That in order to be in this fandom, supporting them both, we should be fans of them as individuals and their work. If you are here solely for the candy, then sure, I will still welcome you but you probably won’t be here for much longer. This is why I get personally triggered when I see so/os say that all CPF do is candy and obsess about their relationship. Which is well, if you look at my blog as an example — it’s clearly not. We have to multitask like hell to keep up.

2. There is a bad side to being a CPF and that is when fans start getting too loud. CPNs and whatever are for BXG circles only. This is why I stopped participating in the whole “i wonder what solos would think” practice because I realized that I don’t need their validation. Candies are not for them. The reason why this talk has gained attention in the first place was because a certain CPF group started asking a third party about it. If that person knows who XZ is dating. Is it really that important? Should we really invite other people into this? Same goes with their friends, don’t ask them. Don’t DM them. It should remain in CPF circle of your own as a form of respect too. Especially if the type of CPF is more on a real couple and not a fictional pairing in a drama they starred in. The latter is encouraged and considered normal to be talked about.

3. Whether he is single or not, CPF should be allowed to exist. It’s always been a part of the fandom ecosystem. There are other pairings of XZ/WYB that i’m not fond of but it’s their life— they can do what makes them happy. I find it particularly harmful when certain fans invalidate CPFs just because of the possibility of the relationship we support not being real. I could ask them the same thing. Xiao Zhan will not marry you, so why the hell are you still acting like you’re his wife or that you own him? LOL. But I don’t cause i’m not an entitled asshole.

I’m pretty sure that on a professional level, if I’m an agency, it would be fine with me. As long as they are fan of my artist — we’re good. If you watch the shows, buy all the things. engage and just support the artist then it’s fine. All these animosity between solos and cpfs are made by fans. In the outside world, if you tell someone about this— I bet they won’t understand what the problem is.

4. The idea of a celebrity being single for an “idol” like XZ has layers to it. It’s not unique to XZ. Being single will appease a lot of the fans who still cling to the boyfriend fantasy. There is also the possibility of his contract having a clause that says he cannot publicize any relationship and must maintain the image of being an idol which is a story for another day. Also if a relationship is publicized, I am pretty sure it will eclipse all the professional work. It will also invite more shady individuals to get insider info and follow him around.

It’s ironic cause the same people were “happy” when XZ had dating rumors last year because and i quote— “he now has normal rumors about him.” LOL. Okay.

5. Going off the point above, I absolutely hate labeling XZ as an idol. It is not good for him and his brand to be on Hot Search because of personal matters and his relationship status. He is not some starlet who is only good for tabloid-esque news. He is an Actor. I don’t know if fans realize the hunger that XZ has to succeed in this profession. His name should be out there because of his career or if it’s related to personal content ( i.e photos ) that XZS shares. I personally get frustrated when things like this get traction — just in case people failed to get the hint— XZS posts when stuff like this is being talked about. It seems like their way of diverting the fan’s / people’s attention. Like “Hey, look, have something so you won’t be idle and start doing unnecessary shit.”

I am a BXG. I support XZ/WYB. I believe in SZD. I love their love. I am fond of candies and everything the community has to offer. My mindset at this point is really more of what are they gonna do next career wise. It’s what excites me and engages me the most at this point in my journey. I won’t order anyone to be in the same place because we go on our own pace and maybe one day you will get there. 💕

“Porter sur toi un nouveau regard”: basic outlines and preparatory notes

What better way to celebrate a fic being completed than me releasing some of the basic notes I took while planning it? Here they are, with a few additions.

It all started as a prompt I got on Discord, the very simple “love at first sight” and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it at first, but the idea of sight stuck with me. Are your first impressions the right ones? Can you learn to see someone a certain way or another? It’s ultimately a story about learning to see other people and yourself, isn’t it?

Which meant I had to take a certain point of view, because an omniscient floating eye is emotionally detached. Character POV may have a limited scope, but that may help empathise with them. This is a story about Kagami, so it was only fair for Kagami to be the centre of it.

Chapter 1:

“How does Kagami truly feel about Marinette before Ikari Gozen”?

While Marinette sees the two of them as rivals, that rivalry is one-sided, and Kagami wouldn’t take that girl seriously. She’s simply annoying.

Kagami is a lonely character, who genuinely wants to make friends, still, and she’s anything but cool or smooth. She doesn’t know the other characters the way the audience does, at all.

Tomoe Tsurugi sucks.

Switching from “Dupain-Cheng” to “Marinette Dupain-Cheng” to “Marinette” would be a nice way to keep the reader hooked. Lots of tiny details that’ll come back later on!

Comphet.

Lots of comphet already. What you “should” like, a calculated, conscious choice.

A few jabs at the show because why not.

Chapter 2:

Filling gaps in characterisation and timeline to make sure that everything hurts later on! Including pre-Adrigami. People thought the paperwork between Tomoe and Gabriel was a marriage contract, not quite, but an arranged relationship? Definitely from Tomoe’s side.

Are Kagami and Marinette already going on dates when they visit the city together all on their own? Isn’t that the true sapphic experience.

Also, the promise of them going to the terrace rooftop on sunny days! It’ll come back later on.

The Bike Motive. Marinette driving her forward.

“Your hair is beautiful” but make it much gayer.

I hate the André scene in the finale, it sucks and it’s awful for everyone. It should be awful for both Marinette and Kagami. Comphet. So much comphet.

Kagami’s impression of brokenness is something we’ll come back to over and over again.

Adrien doesn’t notice because he’s Adrien. The kiss. Nothing.

“K-Kagami!” End with a cliffhanger for more suffering.

As a side note, I made myself cry writing this chapter.

Chapter 3:

Everything hurts. Everything. Hurts.

Identity reveals don’t solve anything, they still fail, and Marinette still isn’t willing to show herself to Kagami, still hiding behind a facade.

Just because Marinette understands things a little better doesn’t mean it hurts any less

They are both lying to each other and themselves and they don’t even realise it.

“Fixing the brokenness” through comphet.

Nothing is solved at all.

Falling asleep on a chaise longue plus blanket

Chapter 4:

Life as a socialite in Paris, concerts and restaurants, wearing clothes she hasn’t chosen

The Adrien routine, pulling chairs and flowers

It’s all miserable still, lots of “shoulds”

Fencing competition, fencing competition ahead. Tomoe is a terrible parent and a terrible coach.

Text conversations with Marinette, overdoes joy with emojis

The Bike Motive Returns, with more feelings, Marinette’s almost desperate gestures

(Kagami as the only person she can fully confide in, but still won’t)

An early birthday present… But Kagami is born in November, Marinette is a mess and so is her room.

Hug and first hint of reciprocated Marigami? Just the happiness of having someone like Kagami who admires her work as Marinette.

Falling asleep on a chaise longue plus blanket, part deux.

KAGAMI IN A SUIT!!!

Kisses on the cheek are really common in France, not Japan. A heavy kiss.

Dress or suit?

Marinette is a mess, texts at night. Difference between Adrien and Marinette’s texts, Adrien’s more self-centred.

No sense of space in Tokyo, jet lag and closed house. Closed spaces.

Chapter 5:

I’m going to write a full chapter about sabre fencing and people will love it

Lots of sneaky (or not so sneaky) GL and Yuri manga/anime references. Make Juri Arisugawa part of the Jury.

All the locations are real

Marinette overdoes it again, Kagami can’t tell.

Kagami’s technique dissecting her opponents. She is a champion already.

Teach the readers about fencing whilst describing it. Have opponents be challenging in specific, understandable ways.

She chooses the suit. What even is subtlety.

As a side note: it was a really fun one to write.

Chapter 6:

Marinette internship phone call, Nathalie’s plan. No way Gabriel would accept to work with a kid. Flirting, Kagami as a muse?

The Foucault chapter. Everything is a prison. Restaurant, vertical stripes on wall as prison bars, the relationship, the self-locking car. This is no Utena car.

Everything is wrong, including the food

Adrigami friendship, much better than Adrigami romance. Rose/Chair. She doesn’t hate him at all, she just doesn’t love him… It wouldn’t work, she’s gay and he’s a liar.

Self-imposed gestures of affection.

Do not describe the kisses, they’re just a thing she has to do

Marinette is a mess, Ladybug is a mess, hell imagery, falling down a hole, almost dying. We are in the car with Kagami and we want to do something, anything, and we can’t.

Chapter 7:

The first step to things being alright again is to admit that they aren’t alright now

Nighttime conversation, Kagami letting Ladybug in

Marinette finally showing herself bare to Kagami but still tries not to until the dam breaks. Being a hero is miserable. Being the Guardian when you are a child with no guidance or support is miserable. Kagami as the only person she can trust.

Botched Lukanette date?

“I’m just so tired.”

“You are not a failure, you are so courageous, a genius fashion designer and my best friend”

(Additional note: I cried writing that passage)

Sharing the burden: help in more than just words.

“I hate that you have to see me like that.”

But showing your vulnerability and still being accepted as true love

Kagami truly sees Marinette now.

“Tutorship” and Tomoe being awful but excuse works. Help is material, homework, tidying up the room together.

“Stop feeling guilty about letting other people help you.”

Flirting hidden behind jokes, Kagami lying to herself. Way to ruin the mood.

Marigami baking.

Harlem 88, postal workers, acab

Watching television on the same couch, or rather watching Marinette watch television.

Umbrella scene with polka dots.

Kagami fully aware of her feeling and afraid of them, afraid that Marinette might feel the same

Chapter 8:

more fencing, Kagami absolutely rules

Worrying about Marinette alone with Gabriel, rightfully so, but can’t say that out loud

Stereotypical outdated Japanese-ness, Kagami can’t conform, doesn’t know how to put on her houmongi on her own. Tomoe and paradoxes, her daughter is both weak and “too muscular” at the same time.

The Palais Royal. The Buren columns are very climbable.

Gabriel, “quite miraculous”. Testing the waters, Kagami doesn’t notice.

Jealousy when Adrien speaks of Marinette?

Ratatouille reference! Tatou.

Tomoe playing the role of the exotic Japanese to be accepted.

Drunk parents, drunk on power and self-satisfaction.

Adrien’s kiss, forced to return it.

Fear that Adrien might become Marinette’s muse

The bike motive once more

Barkk’s power is tracking magical signatures, each is different from the other

Marinette taking control over her own life, making plans to stop Hawk Moth instead of passively waiting for each attack,

“She was never broken. She is in love with another girl.”

Marinette is in love with her too, but is ready to wait.

Chapter 9:

Adrien IS Chat Noir, up to the entitlement and his way of being physically affectionate. Stay true to canon and canon implications.

Adrigami/DJWifi double date, Alya means well but doesn’t know everything

Wordbuilding: of course the Ladyblog isn’t the only website ever, bad rival, Daily Bugle pun.

Not hating someone doesn’t mean you should be with them.

Hints of Adrigami friendship again, relief at avoiding romance.

Food at Kagami’s, cooker, formally perfect but not personal

Marinette and Barkk, closer to their goal

The Turtle Pearl bracelet: a shield, a great way to show feeling of danger, symbol of love

Kagami is the one to kiss Marinette on the cheek this time

Chapter 10:

Tomoe is a bad instructor episode 100

In which Adrien proves himself to truly be also Chat Noir, i.e. unable to understand personal barriers and entitlement. Still Kagami’s POV. He doesn’t think he’s doing anything wrong, insistence≠playfulness. certainly won’t apologise

The bike motive again. Scenic road and conversation

Going to Orsay, definitely a date!

Chat Noir was moody during akuma crisis because of course he was.

Chapter 11:

Adrigami “break”, Adrien sucks at admitting that he’s anything but perfect and being confronted with that.

Kagami bluntness.

Adrigami isn’t about Adrigami, it’s about the Tsurugi family’s status and Tomoe terrified of consequences. Attacking the room instead of Kagami herself.

The Turtle Pearl glows when wearer feels endangered or imminent danger

The museum pictures, the two of them together

Aquarium date?

“Voice of reason” isn’t the voice of reason at all.

Barkk is in the bag, smells everything

Chapter 12:

Kagami as Tomoe’s messenger

Agreste mansion as a mausoleum, setting up the geography, security cameras, cold. Painting of Émilie, goal is near

Nathalie being extremely good at pretending she didn’t just knock that kid unconscious months ago, she’s awful and it’s great.

Marinette internship, Gabriel wears a bowtie… Resembles a butterfly.

Barkk in the bag, smells everything.

Stressful phone call, feels feverish, it’s him and that’s undeniable.

Marinette the detective.

“Thanks for being there for me”

“Thank you for trusting me so much”

Having dinner with Hawk Moth, it’s awful and stressful

No more chair/rose

Adrien is miserable but not aggressive. Building up to final fight

Chapter 13:

Meet the Dupain-Chengs, short, awkward, sweet moment

Marinette’s room, perfectly clean

From creepy stalker to detective, without downplaying the former or overplaying the latter

The two are complementary, very concrete things,

The plan: catch Hawk Moth red-handed, take it outside and expose him to the world

How the Kwami Pearls work: just like the Miraculouses themselves, feeding off the host, only more brutal. Marinette trying to reassure Kagami

Re-explain Turtle Pearl and other powers, illusion, thunder, time-rewind and portal

Gabriel owns original Degas painting since they are both assholes

Adrien/Chat still not great at all

Ice-cream but no biphobia/lesbophobia this time, just a regular shop suggested by Juleka.

The Pont des Arts, no more locks, just like in real life.

The confession, the kiss: consent and everything is right, but also desperate. Marinette really wants to do it well.

Longg is back, also, hype

Side note: I cried writing this one.

Chapters 14-15

Ryuko infiltrating the mansion, all in the details

I hate that Hawk Moth’s lair is an actual real physical space in the show, but if this needs to be material, then so be it. He was allowed to turn his house into that because he got help from the Mayor/Audrey.

Chat Noir can’t fight, near breakdown.

Nathalie knew. Remake of first fight, only Ryuko has clear upper hand.

Having missiles in your house isn’t a good idea.

The Turtle Pearl serves its purpose at last,

Gabriel mostly defeats himself on his own, hubris, the whole extent of his power dynamic with Nathalie

Going back to the Champ de Mars,

Teamwork, taking the butterfly down. Chat Noir rejects his father entirely, cataclysm-ed akuma.

The mansion again, entirely destroyed, paintings of Émilie burning. Spell book and tablet recovered.

Chapter 16:

Taking the big bad down is useless if you don’t take down the power structures that allowed him to strive in the first place. Killing Voldemort only solves that much.

Discovering it all on a phone screen, shut-in

ACAB no matter your gender

They are just following orders and happy to do so, and Gabriel still has some power over them

Tomoe plays by the rules, even though these rules are awful

Kagami’s anger

Chapter 17:

Aquarium date, aquarium date! Fish facts

Kagami’s anger still, doesn’t die out, render it through environment and senses

Water as a healing motive, fish facts

Hot outside - cold inside, ice-cream

Kagami nearly blows out because of kids after being slightly soothed

The power of love is strong but it can’t solve everything.

Additional note: someone in the comments asked me if Kagami had ASD, and the answer is, I don’t know, you tell me! If you think she is on the spectrum, then she is!

Addressing Kagami being closeted, because there’s simply no other way. This isn’t good. Having to live hidden out of fear isn’t good..

The bike motive, + ice cream

Kagami uses the word “lesbian” for the first time to describe her own experience.

Chapter 18:

Tomoe has feelings and these feelings suck. Under the guise of rules, abuse.

Kagami fighting back.

Power is material, through connections and money, nothing that can’t be bought

Kagami’s first demonstration, don’t make it too violent but still ACAB

Nino and Alya as reporters, Julerose and Luka seasoned protestors

The Palais de Justice’s gilded gates are closed vs the crowd

Marinette using her powers for something other than Hawk Moth, strong stance but also still a 15 yo kid’s understanding of the situation

Chapters 19-20:

No tanabata because Tomoe is terrible

The rooftop terrace at last, more Marigami wholesomeness

Dupain-Cheng house vs Tsurugi house, the furniture and dishes, the meal, more Tom and Sabine

Marinette has been cut from her Chinese heritage, exploring that (callback to Mandarin app, chapter 1) and bitterness of it

Adrien moving on in England, still Plagg with him, he’ll become a rich prep boy

Marinette as a Guardians, her own spell book

Duusuu is devouring Émilie’s soul and neither Marinette nor Kagami knows

Françoise Dupont at night, fencing classes, Marinette moves like Ladybug

The future: it is bright but bittersweet, let’s talk about it together

And there was only one bed

Oh, to cuddle with your girlfriend in her bed for the first time

Watching the sun rise together, calm breakfast

Side note: I also cried writing this one.

Chapter 21, epilogue

A new beginning

Kagami turning her back on her mother almost entirely

The bike motive, but Kagami no longer needs Marinette to show her the way now

New school, familiar faces but not only

An ordinary bracelet for Marinette, but proof of love despite everything

End on their hands.

New Era of A-Logs

When I go on and on about a certain topic, it's usually because I have more and more to say about it or I can associate something with it.

You all know where I stand with MrEnter and my history with him. I used to kinda like him, then started to hate him, then got back to mostly liking him. Most of the respect come from the fact that he has his own opinions on... pretty much anything, like it's made clear he's going by his own perspective, not like people who're too afraid to stand out.

But before you start calling me a simp, let me make this clear, I'm aware of his flaws. I know he can come off as narcissistic (a term on its way to becoming as meaningless as "nazi"), Growing Around was a bust, but you know who also acknowledged that? Enter. He still has faith it can keep going, but whatever. And he was more immature when he was starting out, just like everyone else on the internet starting out (plus how he took from some, frankly, bad influences.)

He is fundamentally flawed, but who isn't? I'm in the middle, but I'm leaning toward Enter because frankly, his hatedom is worse.

I'm not referring to those who didn't like his Rise of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video, that was one of his worst even from a subjective point of view, or people who just want him to improve (which is what many masquerade as), I'm talking about the actual toxic hatedom.

I'd leave well enough alone on this, but the fact that the worst thing Enter has done was something he had acknowedged, plus the fact he provided context for the Discord issue makes it hard to ignore.

There is nothing anyone could say about Enter that hasn't been said a million times already. The worst things he could do now is say something people disagree with vehemently, but apparently that's the worst thing ever. Antoons is still being a pain in the ass and as long as he has access to any social, he will continue to be so, but nah, Enter said one mean thing to someone.

PyroCynical groomed a 15 year old? Nah, Enter said something mean and I'm too lazy to get either side. Antoons exists? Nah, that IndieGoGo for Growing Around is still active apparently, this is 2017, right? Fuck it he's a big fat meanie!

The Enter hatedom is incredibly depraved. For perspective, did you know DaftPina made a video on the Growing Around fiasco? This month? This year? Not even a few days ago as of yet? I can't say for sure if it was entirely Daft's fault, Cybershell appeared in the video, and he jumped on the Discord fiasco without getting either side. If he doesn't turn out to be a groomer years from now, chances are he curried everyone's favor.

Before you assume I'm going to hate Daft now because of the video he did, I was never subbed to him. I saw some videos he did but that was about it. If afterwards a bulk of his content is on stuff that happened but people already said everything there needed to be said on it, it doesn't fill me with confidence. Just Stop and Crit1kal are the only good commentary/reactionary channels left.

Are you telling me narcissism is worse than legitimate racism? Shaming sexuality? Grooming minors? Being Antoons?

For perspective on the next topic, check out the tweets in DaftPina's thread on his Growing Around video: https://twitter.com/DaftPina/status/1337964559370493952

Note the borderline irony, people clinging for self worth, the fact they haven't seen a working clock in more than two years.

If this kind of shit keeps up, the anti-Enter bandwagon may very well spawn the next era of A-Logs. For perspective, that came about when people drew similarities between Chris Chan and one of his most vocal critics, A-Log. I can draw similarities between Enter and most of his critics in terms of narcissism and other similar things. Get it?

Enter is an example of what I'd like to call a plea for clout. You go after a dirt simple target because you have so little confidence in yourself, that way you can fog up any similarities between you and him, but they're bound to surface more if you pay attention hard enough. It hits more notes for a direct comparison to A-Logging than you think.

In fact, it gives me reason to believe people don't want Enter to improve (unless their definition of that is having him crumble into a mainstream mouthpiece), they just want to distract from their own faults. Nothing new has happened to justify continuously going after him, if you have to resort to stuff that had long since been done and dusted, then yeah, you're desparate.

If I get shit for this, it's an admission of guilt on their part, because the truth is that painful.

hello! i’m excited to be here hoho this is gu seulyi, yeongji’s resident seer & astrology hack from huangmok! she’s like 8.33% sure of all her horoscope-related prophecies lmao but she does actually get some very specific visions so its a toss up in the end : ) here’s her file & under the cut is some additional info! & the usual yknow like this to plot hehe c: i don’t have premade plots yet but feel free to hmu on ims/ask for discord!!

pureblood seer from a very short line of seers! only her dad’s side’s great great grandmother & her grandfather were seers, so this divination thing is a relatively recent addition to the gu family. one of her great great grandmother’s prophecies made the gu family pretty rich, but they’re generally not highly regarded in the wizarding world since they don’t have the history to back themselves up. her mum’s family is the opposite - lots of history, no money whatsoever. therefore - marriage of convenience!

wand wise: hyeonmu scale core (usually denoting wisdom & strength, and turtle shells are used in oracle telling) & silver lime wood (the typical seer wood!) it’s a p stubborn wand that values honesty - it’ll only work for her & people she trusts, and it casts spells that are followed to the exact letter & spirit

her visions are like frames of a movie: she gets a few snapshots and then has to fill in the blanks for everything else. not very useful but very very accurate : ) unfortunately actual divination is a bust for her bc seeing is like breathing to her, and divination is asking her to make the bottom of a teacup breathe. its not happening!!!

went to hogwarts when she was 11 for the ~history~ and was sorted into slytherin. she was p ambivalent about it since she didn’t have any prophecies related to it, and she had some fun there! she fit in surprisingly well bc she is p driven when it comes to things she wants/sees & thinks she wants, plus yknow general pureblood status helped?

was therefore a shock to everyone aside from her when she got sorted into huangmok. on one hand she did lie on the sorting quiz (but! she admitted it at the end & asked to be in huangmok anyway! was that brave enough or was that just fate doing its thing? no one knows) but on the other hand she also saw herself in the huangmok dorms wearing their colours so she was meant to be in this house

there was a bit of a fallout bc her mother’s side have been in jeolgang since the school was founded and the jeolgang kids see her as having ‘betrayed’ their house’s rls w her family while the huangmok kids see her as a jeolgang kid who scammed her way into the house so.... oof

took a gap year bc she Saw herself travelling in sicily in autumn & she figured she couldn’t be in school in that case lmao

astronomy major so she can figure out dates from highly specific placement of planets and shadow angles and which constellations are visible - she remembers almost everything in her visions, so she uses those clues to date her prophecies

the astrology column isn’t really accurate because she takes the prophecies she knows will happen that week & estimates which sign gets which prophecy. unfortunately they’re also highly specific (cancer: if ur from inmyeonjo someone is gonna spill an entire bottle of ink on ur shoes. if ur not from inmyeonjo ur gonna be the one spilling that ink. practice ur scouring charm!) so everyone doesn’t take it that seriously but the cancer kids prob did avoid ink bottles that week anyw lmao

there’s a very thin line between predetermination/free will & she walks it p closely... a lot of her choices are made based on what she sees, so they sort of become self-fulfilling prophecies, but it might have also just been fate?? its not certain if her visions happen bc she saw fate or if she saw it and then made it happen (chara dev in progress ig)

this is too long alr so personality tldr: driven, impartial, attentive, approachable but also detached, inflexible, obsessive, calculative; gets v in her head about things like truth and cause and effect and she’s paradoxically open-minded until she sees something, then she’s v short-sighted about it

sry this was v long, thank u for enduring :’)

#yn:intro #yn:plotcall #/ queued bc y'all opening at 4am... plots incoming when i wake up

Fears: Being alone, or overcome.

Relationships

Partners: None

Children: None

Parents: Father, Bataar. Good relations. Mother, Unknown.

Siblings: Possibly Many

Other Relatives: Possibly Many

Pets: None

Traits Good

Deliberate – Gerel is well suited to tasks requiring patience and attention; as a hunter and student of various arcane arts, she has gotten to the point she can wait for days in the proper spot, able to note even small changes in her quarry or the area.

Hard-working – Gerel has always had the drive to better herself (Due in no small part to her low opinion of herself) and thus is always willing to practice, train, or study to improve.

Empathetic – Having had a difficult life herself, Gerel is quick to put her emotions in line with others, to try and understand their troubles.

Optimistic – Despite her rough life, her father instilled in her a sense of hope for the future; without which she likely would have died long ago.

Studious – In particularly, Gerel has a love for knowledge; she devours written words, books, scrolls, or whatever might provide more knowledge, be it trivial or pivotal.

Bad

Self-Esteem Issues – Due to her life with her Tribe, Gerel has come to view herself as a sort of abomination. She does not elaborate.

Withdrawn – In addition to her poor view of herself, she has taken to keeping to herself; afraid to mingle with others, or try and put herself out.

Disorganized – Though one might call her a good student, her skills in keeping things orderly is far from scholarly. When she does have a living space, books often end up strewn on the floor or in piles, and she does not seem to understand the necessity of laundry baskets or armoires.

Too Agreeable – When Gerel does interact with others, she finds herself trying to please those she likes. This often results in her ending up in situations she'd prefer to avoid.

Fear of touch – Gerel recoils from contact fiercely and violently; though time and effort and closeness can abate this fear, she reacts to it very poorly. Ill advised to try.

Reading – Gerel, growing up Tribal, never was taught how to read; it never occurred to her, or anyone, that it might be a useful skill. Indeed, most of her tribe were illiterate. However, when she met her Master after leaving the Steppe, and he taught her to read, she embraced with a fervor reserved for scholars normally. Now, she will read books whenever she can, often lingering wherever they are so she might continue to read instead of do... Anything else.

Studying – Though reading any and everything (including fictional stories) Gerel's desire to improve due to her desire to train in Sharlayan, she focuses primarily on studying magical arts when she can, having gathered several tomes on conjury, thaumaturgy, and arcanistry so she might practice and train and grow as a mage.

Cooking – Gerel, as she grew, found a bit of 'home' in her abusive tribal life in the fact she was an excellent cook. Her father often praised her cooking, and would brag about it to the other parents in the tribe. Even after she left, she'd often cook for her Master and her fellow students as she traveled with them.

Traveling – Though she considers her exile from the Steppe with negativity, she finds the blessing that was hidden in it was that she could see other places; something she never dreamed of until it happened to her. And boy howdy does she like experiencing new cultures and seeing new places.

Sweets – Another thing her life lacked growing in the harshness of the Steppe was taste; though her meals were often hale and capable of filling her, she didn't learn of eating for fun until she left. And things like candy and pastries hit her hard; if she did not travel so often, the girl's sweet tooth would have had her gain several ponze.

Rain – The sounds, the smell, the gentle feeling against her face; there is nothing Gerel prefers than a night under the clouds, enjoying every drop of rain that hits her skin.

Dislikes

Birds – Growing up,, Gerel had a poor experience with a Yol. And while they are certainly not par for the course as far as birds go, she has never quite been the same around avians since.

Spicy food – She has no taste for it; likely due to her lack of spice in the Steppe; she thinks intentionally trying to harm yourself with something meant for joy or survival is weird.

People – Though she does not dislike people themselves, they bring along many things she can't deal with. Socializing, questions, the idea of contact – She'd rather avoid it if she can.

Turtles – They're plotting something dammit.

Underwear – Its constraining, leave her alone.

Glasses - She needs them to see but they often get in the way and if they were to fall off in the middle of a fight, she’s suddenly blind! When’s Eorzean Lasik surgery.

RP Hooks

Who? - Often found talking to herself. Curious...

Voidsent – Those who are particularly attuned to such can sense the aura of a voidsent coming from her; though she is definitively not.

Monster Hunter – Gerel has made her living by hunting creatures that have caused issues for civilians. It is not unlikely she has had to work with, or compete with, other hunters.

Borne of the Steppe – Gerel was born to the Iriq in the Steppe. Its likely she knows other Iriq, or other tribal Xaela.

Additional IC Information

In Regards to Men – Gerel does not qualify as a misandrist, but has a long and negative history with men that are not her father. She is hesitant around them normally, but it seems it stems mostly from fear.

Left Arm – Her arm is always covered in bandages; people practiced in arcanima can recognize they are not merely bandages, but some form ward. When out and about, the arm is armored almost fully, and even when she is not on the job, its movement are rough and few and far between.

Black Sclera

Fashion? - She has a budding interest in fashion, particularly Eorzean, Hingan and Ishgardian female dress. She thinks its pretty and she loves it.

Sharlayan Bound – Gerel has a great interest in going to the Old World, and studying in the world renowned magocracy.

Additional OOC Information

If you wanna put your dick in her, please turn around. On a more serious note, I would like RP that is not sexually focused, even with ladies.

Likewise, while I'm up for shipping, if that is your only goal, not interested.

I'm not always available for in game RP; but I'm almost always available for Discord.

I have bouts of depression that might make it hard for me to focus on RP; occasionally I have to take short breaks.

Gerel, IC, has a fear of touch. Don't be offended if, if someone attempts to touch her, she reacts negatively. That's not me being upset, that's her being scared!

Accidentally deleted my blog so, I need to make a new one from scratch! Seems as good a time as any to tag @mooglemeet and @ffxiv-balmung-rp and @balmungrp

Matters of Faith: Conflict and Acceptance

Two ways to view the world So similar at times Two ways to rule the world To justify their crimes

(Lyrics from Sabaton’s “A Lifetime of War”)

Deaco is a continent that lives in relative harmony...when it comes to faith, at least. Sure, armies do battle, bands of marauders attack travelers, and mighty dragons kill and subjugate, but these events are hardly ever religiously motivated. Wars, banditry and draconic tyranny are typically born from imperialist malevolence, selfishness, and draconic pride and greed respectively. One’s personal desires for land, power, wealth and status are hardly intertwined with faith.

This isn’t to say these types of clashes never happen however. With such strong influence on state and culture, religion inevitably gets caught up in arguments and debate. These are generally relegated to casual arguments between two common folk over the exact meaning of a passage or quote, but there is occasional, real conflict.

Disputes, Slights, and Offenses

Not everyone is perfectly content or accepting of everything and everyone. Occasionally differing ideas and thoughts will leave people feeling isolated, conflicted or dismissive. Someone who does not understand the similarities between a follower of The Order of God and The Shining Lord might see the other as an “outsider”, and feel a dislike for this strange, different faith and custom.

In this short list, we’ll go over a few things that cause strife, disunity and discord among followers of faith. These will be listed in order from least serious, something that might cause a misunderstanding or general confusion, to most serious, something that would cause fierce anger or hated between groups.

Following Another Faith

“My opponents would have you think the koutu are madmen that cross the border to kidnap children to sacrifice them to demons. It is precisely this outrageous, fundamental misunderstanding of the faith that I have spent these last years combating. I must reiterate this same point yet again; our dogmas are one. If you were to visit a church of the Shining Lord, the only difference you would be able to notice would be that of architecture.”

-Abbot Manuel’s address during the Third Summit Debate

Sometimes called heresy, there are those who still see followers of another faith as just that; an “other”.

The three main faiths following God are intrinsically tied closely to one another, as from what most theologians can work out, they all worship the same God. These would be The Order of God, followers of The Shining Lord, and adherents to God and His Prophet.

The Shining Lord is simply what the koutu call God, and their faith follows the humans’ Order closely. The chief difference however are their “saints”. The koutu had their own pantheon of gods before they adopted the humans’ faith. Instead of discarding their ancient gods and traditions, they decided to reconcile it with their new faith. After some debate, they decided their gods were not true gods, but champions chosen by God for ascension. Tales and lore were altered to mention God, and he was described as all-knowing, all-powerful, and enigmatic, even to the old gods, who were now more of a family of demi-gods given their powers by the Shining Lord.

There are occasional arguments over all of this, but the nature of spirited and open debate has made most of the people of Deaco aware that these differences are very slight. To some, they are one and the same, merely two churches of the same religion that evolved differently over time through difference in land and culture.

The saliks, the lizardfolk to the desert down south, are also a part of this trio of faith. Their religion appeared to be created entirely separately, with a slave who never had any knowledge of the humans’ God receiving revelations independent of outside influence. With that in mind, many do see this faith as its own.

After much time spent studying the words and teachings of the Prophet however, theologians were quick to note the extreme similarities in teachings, morals, and virtues of their God and the God of the humans and koutu. The dogma is eerily similar, just with a focus on combating slavery, something that was pandemic in the lands the Prophet originated from at the time.

With these similar writings and morals in mind, many see the Prophet as simply the latest in a line of prophets and saints of God, whose benevolent guidance has spread across all of Deaco. While more conservative thinkers of the Prophet reject this, many are open to the idea, using it to further strengthen the bonds of friendship between the humans and reptilians.

The pona do not have an organized faith. Many are irreligious or simply spiritual, though some follow animist teachings. They feel the spirits of the dead watch over them, their ancestors always offering a nudge in the right direction. The world itself is pulsing with life, and one could tell if only they focus. Because of this, meditation is widespread in the Federation, the turtles often taking time out of their day to find a secluded grove to try and obtain a deeper understanding of the world and themselves.

Their neighbors are content with this. Some are interested in foreign faiths, those that move to Geralthin often impressed by The Order’s charity. With their nature as a calm and peaceful people, they only tend to reciprocate anothers interest in their way of life, not pushing it on others.

The dacuni are a people of paganism, following different ancient gods of war and other specifics. Their harsh ways have left many dismissive of their faith, though it is very varied in both dogma and philosophy. Not many even know of or consider their faith, simply afraid or hostile to the wolfmen themselves.

The Cult of Spuini is infamous for its bizarre dedication to hedonism, which does little to win foreign faiths over, who almost universally see temperance, diligence and chastity as a virtue. This is only one of many cults however, as each god the wolfmen worship have their own dedicated cult. Those in the know would see the cults of Baba and Asvarnin share many morals with traditional faiths of the south, that of diligence, modesty and acting without malice or sin. All in all, most people regard the strange northern pantheon with bemused tolerance. They gawk at a distance, but do little to actively inspect or insult it. Some wolfmen runaways bring these cults to Geralthin and the Koutu Kingdom, while some adopt the faith of the lands. These foreign cults are generally very small and try their hardest not to cause a fuss, seeing as they’ve been graciously allowed to continue practicing their faith in lands not home to them.

Agnosticism

“The pona are a stubborn people, and their outlandish refusal at peaceful cooperation has left us to resort to this final measure.”

-Mayor Candice of Liberty Point, on the implementation of the Proselytizer’s Edict

There aren’t many who chose no god to follow. With clerics and priests using divine magic and gifts from the heavens themselves known to all, there are hardly any non-believers. There are those skeptical of churches and cults however, or those who simply have no desire to dedicate themselves to a god. With a strong undertone of faith in most places of society, these people aren’t viewed in an especially good light.

There are those who are simply cynical or have other things on their mind, which are generally accepted. Those who make a big deal however are viewed with some disdain. People do not appreciate having their faith insulted or mocked, and will shun these people in kind.

Sometimes the religious will attempt to sway these people into accepting the faith, though the results and approaches vary. From forced proselytizing, to a debate on the merits and truth of the scriptures, the choice is sometimes difficult, and the fallout from refusal differing in severity.

Occasionally these people will find themselves among the faithful, and with a general understanding of one another, things can become relaxed. As is known to the followers of God, all peoples are his creation, and are loved equally by him. Because of this, it’s generally considered rude to disrespect another based on custom, race or faith, and even those without a faith can find themselves welcomed by the faithful.

A common example is the yearly feast conducted by The Order of God. It is religious, though its motives are to bring happiness to all. Because of this, none are excluded. From the koutu adherents to the Shining Lord, to the wolfman cults, to the faithless, all are welcomed to partake in the free food and drink.

There may be arguments, debates, and misunderstandings, but at the end, when all is said and done, we are more alike than we are different.

Heretical Thought

“It is more important that we keep our own church stable, clean and united, rather than focus on pushing our faith outward, as this debacle brings our lands to ruin. The false shepherds must be kept from the flock, at any cost.”

-Patriarch Gregory, at the First Summit Debate

The churches of the different faiths have had little internal strife, but when these conflicts arise, it is met with resistance across the board. The different faiths know that their friendships and understandings are kept in a close-knit, but fragile balance from the truths of their teachings. Any differing thought could put their longstanding peaceful, tolerant approach to one another in jeopardy. Thus, they work together against breakaway sects to preserve their longstanding traditions of unity and friendship.

Heresies are few and far between, with the three monotheistic faiths vigilant in stomping out these new teachings.

The standard approach is theological debate, undermining the opponent’s legitimacy and new thought with evidence from the scriptures. This approach is very successful, with heretical preachers finding themselves without a listener base.

One such heresy was the Felen Idea, a breakaway from the Order of God. This heretical order made several distressing proclamations, such as their head, Bishop Felen, declaring God had told him that the other nations must be brought to heel and forced to follow their faith, by force if necessary. To them, the similar religions of the koutu and saliks weren’t enough. The counterargument from The Order, a truly massive treatise on the similarities of the three churches, and the consequences on warring against those who served the same God as them, was wildly successful in shutting this heresy down.

Another example was the Cult of Understanding, a group of the Shining Lord who proposed that the��“missing wife” of Albic never existed. They proclaimed he had his three children with his sister Sila, using partially lost sources that mentioned them alone while the children were being raised as evidence that this was true. This was considered so damaging to the faith that the church labeled it heresy, something they had never done before. Eventually, an expedition found the lost texts of said sources, and found that the story mentioned the wife, and even included a passage where the wife and Sila had a conversion about Albic. This quickly shut down the heretical sect, and all ran smoothly since.

The saliks had a brief schism over whether their crusade against slavery applied to non-reptilians, but eventually decided that due to the context of God’s hatred of slavery being universal, that all would be free under their rule.

Religious Persecution

“It was not by the Great Dragon’s will that the Jungi Cult were slaughtered for their faith. Indeed, the Dragon warned us of the plot, and our priests were working alongside the guards in restoring order. They pulled the persecuted from the city, carried them to safety, and comforted the broken and terrified in those frightening moments. These dangerous extremists acted not in the benevolent one’s wishes, and he gave us the ability to intervene. Despite this, we could not save them all, and when he heard of the atrocities committed in his name, the Great Dragon wept.”

-Qin Preacher Tiangzin, on the Baolo Genocide

The most extreme of all offenses, disenfranchising, oppressing, or harming another for difference in faith is considered an atrocity in most respects. This happens rarely, but when it does, the entire continent is set aflame.

There are only a few instances of this ever happening, but they usually result in war of some kind. When Queen Abigail was executed by the wolfmen for refusing to renounce her faith, the Kingdom of Geralthin went into such a mad frenzy that the southern Dacush Tribes were depopulated for over a century after they rampaged through it.

In the early days of the revolution, the slaves who accepted the Prophet’s teachings began to be executed, to suppress the voices clamoring for liberty. This backfired however, showing how corrupt and oppressive the old regime was, and the reptilians emerged followers of the Prophet shortly afterwards.

The people of the far eastern lands, sharing characteristics of the strange, wingless dragons of their lands, follow the Great Dragon. Dragons are abundant in their lands, but the Great One is much larger, much wiser, and much more powerful than the rest of his kin. Even the other dragons seem to serve him faithfully, and so the small ones quickly followed. He sits curled around a massive mountain in the heart of the Qins’ homeland, silently observing. His church came into conflict with a heretical sect who didn’t see the Great Dragon of the Mountain as their lord. A sect of fierce devotees descended on one of their temples, slaughtering the people within. Other adherents to the Great Dragon were given visions of this event, and tried their hardest to put a stop to it. The Great Dragon himself was reportedly heartbroken at what had happened, having not enough time to warn the faithful, and being preoccupied with closing a portal to the underworld at the time.

Thankfully, history is rarely subjected to these atrocities. When they occur, they light a fire in the hearts of the people, those differing in land, race, faith and lifestyle coming together in these dark hours to work against the wrongdoing of others.

Thanks to a longstanding history of friendship, understanding, peace and solidarity, the wide array of species and faiths are relaxed, friendly, and even welcoming to one another. Faith is a sacred thing, and as this truth is known, the religious are careful to treat differing religions with respect, just as they would wish their own faith to be respected.

sport: I walk or cycle to uni, so that keeps me in (minimal) shape. I used to do a bit of archery, but I can’t where I live right now.

vacation: Visiting ancient cities and cultures. I want to see Italy one day.

pair of trainers: I don’t really like trainers, I prefer hiking shoes.

more general:

eating: I like pasta.

drinking: Mostly juice or chocolate milk.

i’m about to: Go to bed.

want: Write more

get married: I honestly don’t know. I guess it would be nice, if I found The One.

career: I’ll probably stay in academics, focusing on research on bioinformatics.

hugs or kisses: Probably hugs?

lips or eyes: Eyes are much prettier.

shorter or taller: I’m fairly short for a (Dutch) boy, and I always feel intimidated when surrounded by taller people. So short, I guess.

older or younger: I always preferred talking to people older than me over people my own age.

nice arms or nice stomachs: Wut? Uhm, arms I guess.

sensitive or loud: Sensitive.

troublemaker or hesitant: I’m extremely hesitant myself, so in a relationship I’d probably like to be with someone who is more forward, otherwise we’d never get anything done!

have you ever:

kissed a stranger: Haha no

drank hard liquor: Nope, haven’t drunk a single drop of alcohol

lost glasses/contacts: Not yet, thankfully.

turned someone down: I don’t think anyone has ever been interested in me like that. So maybe without me realizing?

sex on the first date: No, I’d prefer to get to know someone first.

personal:

broken someone’s heart: Not as far as I know!

had your heart broken: I have, but they were more teenage crushes than real heartbroken love, in retrospect.

been arrested: Nah, I stay out of trouble.

cried when someone died: Oh yes, I cry very easily, for almost anything.

fallen for a friend: I have.

do you believe in:

yourself: In some ways I do, in some ways I don’t.

miracles: No, I’m very much a rational person, and actively try to not fall into the traps of superstition and other such mystical things.

love at first sight: Love? No. Attraction is very much possible, but love must grow over time.

santa claus: When I was like 6 years old I went downstairs during the night to find my dad hiding the presents. That broke the illusion for me.

kisses on the first date: I’ve never dated, so I wouldn’t really know. I’m very shy and hesitent though, so I’d probably not make the first move. If she did and I liked her, I’d probably reciprocate, though.

other:

current best friend: Caroline!

eye color: Green

favorite movie: How To Train Your Dragon, of course!

I tag @writerforthetylwythteg, @jayalaw, and @dragonescence , if you are interested!

Get to know me

Tagged by @symphonyalpha (I forgot the URL for a second and was like, “Why isn’t Jaewhy showing up when I type it in the user mention???” lol).

Rules: Answer these 92 statements and tag 20 people.

Last: 1. Drink: Barley water, because that’s what my family drinks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2. Phone call: My grandma, telling me what time she needed me to drive her to her doctor’s appointment. 3. Text message: To my little brother, telling him to STFU because he kept sending me dumb shit on iMessage. 4. Song you listened to: Does SIF count? If so, “Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki”. If not, I was headbanging to “Paradise Lost” by Chihara Minori after dropping my grandma off at her friend’s place the other day, lol. 5. Time you cried: tbh I probably teared up a little when I was watching the footage from the Lantis preview of the Aqours 1st Live BD/DVDs ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇωஇﾟ)ﾟ｡

Have you: 6. Dated someone twice: I haven’t even dated someone once :’))) 7. Kissed someone and regretted it: I’ve kissed exactly one person, so...hm. There was a period of time when I had conflicting emotions over what happened, but in the end, I don’t think I regret it. 8. Been cheated on: See #6. 9. Lost someone special: I’ve had a grandfather pass away, and this is probably going to sound bad, but...I really appreciated him, and he was nothing but kind to me. However, since I’d only seen him about three times in my life, the biggest way his death affected me was through my mother. It took her a while to get over my grandfather’s death, so it changed the way I behaved around her during that time. 10. Been depressed: Yes. 11. Gotten drunk and thrown up: Exactly once, because I made the mistake of keeping pace with my uncle in Korea who takes soju shots like a champ. This also happened to be the night before Lunar New Year, so I got chewed out by my aunt (older sister of my uncle) once she realized why I was so lethargic during the festivities. _(:3 」∠)_ I don’t regret it though, because before that I had never been hungover before and was wondering what my limit was, haha.

List 3 favorite colors: 12-14. Red, blue, and...uh...other than those two I don’t have any definite faves. I guess the third would be either yellow or purple...? I’ll just go with purple for the sake of completion.

In the last year have you: 15. Made new friends: #TeamONIBE 16. Fallen out of love: That would require me to fall in love with someone first. 17. Laughed until you cried: I think it might have been when Mayushii and King did that disastrous cooking niconama. Like...what the actual fuck, do they seriously not know anything about basic kitchen safety and hygiene??? 18. Found out someone was talking about you: The number of times I’ve gone on to Discord and found out that someone in ONIBE was talkin’ smack about me... (｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡) It’s all in good fun though, haha. 19. Met someone who changed you: See #15. 20. Found out who your friends are: Nothing says "friendship” like screaming your heart out at an anisong concert, eating McNuggets while insanely drunk, sleeping while squished together in a seedy neighborhood, wotaing loudly in a moving vehicle, and other various activities I did with people I had never met in real life. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ AX 2017 was hella great for ONIBE bonding. 21. Kissed someone on your Facebook list: I don’t think I’ve even used FB for non-work stuff since 2016 lol

General: 22. How many of your Facebook friends do you know in real life: If this means “I’ve actually met them in person and have had a decent conversation with them”, then maybe a few hundred? But if this means that I actually talk to them on a semi-regular basis, then, like...10, maybe. :’) 23. Do you have any pets: See my answer in the previous chain post I did. tl;dr I had a turtle and a dog in elementary school, but after that, no pets. I’d like to have a dog when I get a place of my own, though. 24. Do you want to change your name: Nope. 25. What did you do for your last birthday: Watched LLS Episode 13 in the morning and ate Korean BBQ in the evening. 26. What time did you wake up: Today? I honestly don’t remember. Sometime before 9? 27. What were you doing at midnight last night: Laughing at dumb shit on Twitter and Discord, probably. 28. Name something you can’t wait for: The Delayed Viewing for the 2nd Live for the US! I’m making plans to meet up with ONIBE folks again and it’s gonna be ~L I T~ 29. When was the last time you saw your mom: Early in the morning. She was like “lol get up and lose some weight” while I was still in bed so I groaned back, “You’re one to talk,” and went back to sleep. 30. What is one thing you wish you could change in your life: I was gonna say “how about eliminating my student loans haha” but I suppose this is supposed to be a more serious question. I guess it’d be nice if I was a neater person. Like, my room is a total mess right now and I’m terrible at keeping track of things I should be working on... 31. Listening right now: Fun fact - I actually only listen to music while I’m driving. Otherwise, it distracts me from what I should be doing. 32. Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: Yup, that was the name of my debate coach when I was in junior high. 33. Something that is getting on your nerves: People who hate on LL seiyuu. Like, they’re actual human beings who are working really hard to live up to the expectations of thousands - no, millions of people worldwide. To be quite honest, I invite you to tell me if you legitimately want to shit on any one of them (both µ’s and Aqours), because I have yet to see a single person who has had a good justification for doing so. 34. Most visited website: Probably Tumblr/YouTube/Twitter/Reddit, too lazy to figure out which one of those it is.

Jaewhy put in random questions here because they were missing for some reason, so I guess I’ll continue those: 35. Mole(s): I have a few around my face, but other than the one on my right cheek I don’t think they’re that noticeable? I don’t spend a lot of time in the sun like other Californians. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 36. Mark(s): I have a birthmark on the backside of my right shoulder that I’m sort of self-conscious about. It’s the perfect shape for getting a tattoo of a sunflower around it, so maybe I’ll do that some time in the future? 37. Childhood dream: Lawyer. 38. Hair color: I feel like I’ve answered this in a previous chain post, but it’s black. Duh. Though if you hold it up to the sun, some of the ends are more like dark brown. 39. Long or short: Long. 40. Do you have a crush on someone: See #16. Nope. 41. What do you like about yourself: I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time staring at computers/video games and I still don’t need glasses. :D 42. Piercings: No, but I should probably get my ears pierced at some point? 43. Blood type: O. 44. Nickname: Yujacha, but a lot of people shorten it to “Yuja”. 45. Relationship status: Single. 46. Zodiac: Libra, Dog. 47. Pronouns: I feel like it’s obvious what gender I am, so just go with those. 48. Favorite TV show: I don’t really watch TV these days, but if I’m kicking back with some hot cocoa at like 2am I might watch Criminal Minds or something. 49. Tattoos: Nope, but like I said in #36 I’ve been thinking about it. 50. Right or left hand: Right. 51. Surgery: Wisdom teeth removal is technically dental surgery. 52. Hair dyed in different color: I had highlights in my hair a few years ago, but they faded real quick. I’m vaguely considering dyeing it brown in the distant future...? 53. Sport: It’s fun to watch the occasional match when there’s a World Cup or Olympic thing going on, but otherwise I have no interest. 54. (A question I came up with since #54 was missing) Extracurricular activities: I was a debate kid for most of my school life, and in college I was in the Korean Club and Student Union. 55. Vacation: Does the 2nd Live DV later this year count? 56. Pair of trainers sneakers *American anthem plays in the distance*: I actually need new ones because I’ve tripped while hiking on at least two separate occasions due to my shitty old sneakers.

More general: 57. Eating: Haven’t yet. 58. Drinking: Wasn’t this literally the first question? 59. I’m about to: Eat. 60. (This question was missing so I'll make one up again) Thinking about: What to eat lol 61. Waiting for: 2nd Live DV~ 62. Want: Money tbh 63. Get married: I’d like to at some point, but at the moment I’m kinda tired of hearing about it from every middle-aged woman who talks to me (including my own mother). 64. Career: Working on it.

Which is better: 65. Hugs or kisses: Hugs, because they’re warm and comfy and can be shared by complete strangers. 66. Lips or eyes: I was gonna repeat a previous answer and say “eyesmiles” but since this is “lips or eyes” rather than “smiles or eyes”, I guess my answer would fall more under “eyes”. 67. Shorter or taller: Bruh, if someone’s shorter than me then I’d need to check their ID to make sure they’re not jailbait. Taller. 68. Older or younger: I’ve never dated anyone so I honestly wouldn’t know, but I’d probably look for someone close to my age first? 69. (Lmao why was 69 missing :3c I’ll just make something up again) Outgoing or shy: The former, since I’m lazy. If someone doesn’t drag me to places I’ll just lay in bed all day. 70. Nice arms or stomach: It’s actually really hard for females to have a toned stomach, so any gals with abs are like ooh~ 👀 But I actually like hands! I have smol stubby fingers so I really dig people with nice hands. 71. Sensitive or loud: The former, because I don’t need the entire neighborhood to know when I’m gettin’ laid kthnx 72. Hook up or relationship: Relationship, because sure why not? 73. Troublemaker or hesitant: Maybe the former, but if they’re being too much of a lil’ shit then I’d go for the latter instead. I’ve dealt with friends who take like 20 minutes to decide what to order from a menu so I know that feel. :’)

Have you ever: 74. Kissed a stranger: Nope. 75. Drank hard liquor: Yup. 76. Lost glasses/contact lenses: I’m pretty sure I annoyed half of ONIBE during AX when I went “haha y’all are blind af” after I found out I was pretty much the only one who didn’t have corrected vision. 77. Turned someone down: I was about to say “no” and then I got a sudden flashback to a certain incident in college, wow thanks for making me remember something I had tried to forget...sooo, uh, yup. 78. Sex on the first date: See #6. 79. Broken someone’s heart: IDK if turning someone down counts as breaking their heart. 80. Had your heart broken: ...yes. I think? 81. Been arrested: Nope. 82. Cried when someone died: Do fictional characters count? 83. Fallen for a friend: Uhhhhh...kind of? It was complicated.

Do you believe in: 84. Yourself: I’d like to think that I do. 85. Miracles: KISEKI DA YO~ ...sorry, I had to. Yeah. 86. Love at first sight: Shukashuu is living proof of this. 87. Santa Claus: Nope, sorry Maki!!! 88. Kiss on the first date: Sure.

Other: 90. Current best friend(s) name: IDK if I have one. :’) 91. Eye color: I’m Asian, take a wild guess. 92. Favorite movie: I don’t really have a favorite, but I did like “Kimi no Na wa.” (Your name.) so much that I made it my phone’s lock screen.

Tagging: I've only tagged people the first time I did one of these and I’m gonna try to keep it that way. If anyone who reads this wants to give it a go, feel free~
