“oh. my. god.”

“no.”

“oh my—”

“quit it.”

nanami rubs his face as a heavy sigh leaves his chest before he plops down on the couch. he feels you staring at him with his skin, drilling holes through his face while you stay in your spot, too shocked to do anything other than look at him.

a minute later, you silently crawl over to his lap and situate yourself over his thighs, seemingly deciding on inspecting his face from closer distance. his hands settle on your waist, mahogany eyes roaming over your features in a doomed attempt at reading your mind.

your palms cup his face and tilt it back as you lean in, eyes wide as a coin and a gasp leaving you before you touch it.

“i can’t believe this is real.”

nanami chuckles, eyes squinting a bit as he mumbles the words under his breath, “it’s just a moustache.”

“it’s not just a moustache! it’s on your face! i didn’t get over your beard situation and now you hit me with this?” you smile cheekily at him, your playfully incredulous tone tugging another chuckle out of him as you giggle and prod his face with your fingers. “you look so silly, ken-ken!”

shaking his head in fondness, nanami swiftly catches your wrist in a soft grip, bringing your fingers to his mouth to press kisses against your fingertips.

“tickles.”

“mm, it does?”

your smile stretches further along your cheeks and you respond with the press of your lips against his. it’s soft and it’s sweet, deepening only when you allow it to happen with nanami eagerly complying, letting your lips catch around the tip of his tongue and then suck on his lips gently.

kento sighs into you, warm hands wandering over your thighs and fingers digging into the plush of them. it’s heavenly, it’s his favourite feeling in the world — and he is brought back to reality only when you abruptly pull back, dainty fingers covering your lips as you break into a fit of giggles again.

“what?”

“i feel like i’m kissing an old man.”

he lets out another sigh, more of a disappointed one this time, and guides you back onto the couch before he stands up(knees cracking by the way, which elicits a quiet snicker out of you and a glare at you from him), walking to the bathroom to shave off the remnants of his facial hair and remember to never leave it on again.

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

You know what I hate about the internet? Sometimes people will just lazily slap a “citation” on an infographic and trust that they’ll be completely taken at their word and nobody is going to dig deeper. And it works all the time. As an example, please look at this photo someone posted to dispute my assertion that garlic can be toxic to dogs.

Okay well, kind of a pain to manually type in that link but obviously I am going to look into this study that is confident enough to recommend people feeding their dogs garlic. So here’s the article, kind of a weird journal choice for this graphic to reference from but looks like a legit (though 20 year old) study

Funny thing is, almost immediately this article acknowledges that garlic can indeed be toxic to dogs. The health benefits mentioned in the graphic are referring to human health, not canine. This section is literally in the introduction of the article and one of the first things you read. Emphasis here is mine.

Crazy to me that someone would imply that this article encourages giving dogs garlic when it in fact immediately asserts that doing so has the potential to cause hemolytic anemia. The article does explore the anti-thrombotic effects of garlic components in dogs and humans, but by no means does it say that “contrary to misconceptions garlic is safe for pets”. It is dishonest to assert this in an infographic. However the creator of the image correctly assumed nobody would check, because the person who posted it took it as fact without further investigation.

I am begging you to be skeptical. Check your sources. Check their sources. Check my sources. Learn how to dig deeper and exercise that muscle as much as you can, especially on the internet. You will be absolutely shocked how much misinformation is casually stated and received as pure fact.

friendly advice from vetmed: I know that when your animal has an infection that is generating a lot of discharge, you want to describe that to the veterinarian, because it’s a concerning sign. that is true. I also know that the most common word for this type of discharge is “pus,” so it’s logical that that’s the word that you’ll use when describing what’s going on. and in English, we often add a “-y” when we’re using a word as a descriptor.

but. the word. the word you are looking for. is purulent.

please stop sending in messages telling the doctor that your dog has a “pussy wound.”
