I want to bring back 2017 because it was a simpler time and because it was the year I met HIM❤️

[bunviiebab3]

♡ 57 reasons i found on an old ed blog from 2004 ♡

01. You will be FAT if you eat today, just put it off one more day.

02. You don't NEED food.

03. Fat people can't fit everywhere.

04. Guys will be able to pick you up without struggling.

05. You'll be able to run faster without all that extra weight holding you back.

06. People will remember you as "the beautiful thin one".

07. If someone has to describe you, they'll say "oh she weighs like 90, 100 lbs".

08. Guys will want to get to know you, not laugh at you and walk away.

09. Starving is an example of excellent willpower.

10. You will be able to see your beautiful, beautiful bones.

11. Bones are clean and pure. Fat is dirty and hangs on your bones like a parasite.

12. If you eat then you'll look like those disgusting, fat, ghetto and trailer-trash hookers on Jerry Springer.

13. The models that everyone claims are beautiful, the spitting image of perfection, are any of them fat? NO!

14. Too many people in the world are obese.

15. People who eat are selfish and unrealistic.

16. Only fat people are attracted to fat people. Do you want pigs to like you because you are one of them.

17. Anyone can have "inner beauty" but few can earn real beauty, inside as well as out.

18. You'll be able to move as quietly and skillfully as a spider.

19. Only thin people are graceful.

20. If you slap a fat person you can see a shockwave ripple over their skin. That's disgusting.

21. Do you want people to say "for gods sake get off me you're crushing me!!!" or "you are sooo light" ???

22. Underweight aka perfect body.

23. Ballerina? or beanbag?

24. I want to be light enough so a helium balloon could lift me and carry me to the clouds.

25. I want to walk in the snow and leave no footprints.

26. Starve off the parts you don't need. They're ugly and they drag you down.

27. Nothing cant be fixed with hunger and weight loss.

28. Saying "no thanks" to food is saying "yes please" to THIN!!!

29. Fat people are so huge, yet people look away from them as if they don't exist.

30. The only time people do notice a fat person is when they get in the way of that beautiful thin girl walking by (ok that sounds really horrible i know.)

31. Have you ever seen a person NOT notice a walking skeleton.

32. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

33. Is food more important that happiness in life? I think not!

34. Eating is conforming to everyone else's expectations.

35. When you start to get dizzy and weak you're almost there.

36. Hunger is your friend and it won't betray you like food.

37. Food is mean and sneaky. It tricks you into eating it and it works on you from the inside out making you fat, bloated, ugly and unhappy.

38. Think of anorexia as your secret weapon.

39. If you can name one reason to be fat, I'll name a million and one to be thin.

40. Thin people look good in ANY kind of clothes.

41. Food rots your teeth.

42. Puffy cheeks, double chins and thick ankles-- aren't attractive.

43. Fatty areas stretch and sag as you get older.

44. Ever seen the arms of a fat person wave hello or goodbye?

45. Eating little to nothing saves you money!

46. The average (middle class) American wastes OVER $8,000 a year on FOOD ALONE...it goes in one end and out the other. That sure is a lot of fat! No wonder so many Americans are obese and overweight!

55. The word fat will only apply to you in a sarcastic way.

56. No one wants to see a fat person dance.

57. Beauty Queen? or Dairy Queen?

What will be in my bag? Pre-ordered Manga. Straight and Lez edition.

Here’s a list of English-released manga I’ve currently got on pre-order, and manga series I ordered before but won’t be continuing with the series.

As a note: Some of these titles have been released but I have not received them yet due to a issues with covid backlog effected how things are released.  I personally find that if you pre-order it tends to get you manga quicker.  It seems there is more pressure to keep up with the new release schedule than chip away at the backlog.

I’m starting with the stuff I’ve already read some of and confirmed enjoyment, then stuff I’m shooting in the dark for, and finally series I have tried recently and have discontinued.

Heteros

My Androgynous Boyfriend

Story & Art by: Tamekou      Publisher: Seven Seas

It is rare for straight shit to end up in my library but My Androgynous boyfriend is an exception that will surprise no-one since it’s pretty queer adjacent.  This story is mostly a couple being lovey-dovey between jokes about sexuality and gender but (so far) isn’t problematic at all.  The female lead is quite enjoyable as she’s well-balanced and has agency throughout. There’s even ace representation! It’s very low-stakes, wholesome, and sweet so far. (Volume 3 is set to release in November.)

My Excitement Level: The gentle about to sink into a bubble bath variety

Yuri/Lesbian

Even Though We’re Adults

Story & Art by: Takako Shimura  Publisher: Seven Seas

Takako is also the creator of Sweet Blue Flowers and Wandering son.  I have dipped by toe in to both those series.  I overall find their writing kinda meandering and tepid (might just be me) but technically pretty solid.  I am hopeful for this series since it features adults....if the title didn’t make it obvious.  I was intrigued by the one character being married but the man finding out about the affair quickly and reacting more realistically and interestingly than the average male love interest in a Yuri.  I also found myself relating at bit to Akari’s angst about being unlucky with relationships with women.  I also do enjoy the artwork! This one is the most likely of my followed series to be dropped at some point. (Volume 2 of this manga was set to release in June this year.)

Kase-san and Yamada

Story & Art by: Hiromi Takashima  Publisher: Seven Seas

This is a series I keep going back to.  While it is the very typical low-stakes bubbly, cutesy School age Yuri...it is a very good version of that.  Just warm bubble bath vibes. (Volume 7 is set to release in February of next year.  I think it was originally supposed to be released this May but was bumped back.)

My Excitement Level: The gentle about to sink into a bubble bath variety

NOW ONTO THE SERIES I HAVEN’T READ BUT I’M TAKING A CHANCE ON!

Adachi and Shimaura

Art: Moke Yuzuhara Story: Hitoma Iruma  Publisher: Yen Press

This, as I understand it, is a slow-burn romance about two delinquent girls.  I have heard good things about the novel and the anime series!  However I prefer manga to novels and don’t have a funimation account so I went to snag it in manga form. (Volume 1 was set to release in February this year and 2 in September)

My Excitement Level: Cautious Optimism

The Girl I want is so handsome!

Story & Art by:Yuama     Publisher: Seven Seas

The premise is a young lady has a crush on a handsome older girl who’s oblivious to her advances.  When she tries to confess she instead gets roped into being the club manager of the basketball team that her crush is a part of.  So it feels like it may end up cycling through 2 jokes and be so deep in the stereotypical manga bullshit you can easily-predict its beats volumes in advance. HOWEVER that is also a premise that is similar to Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun which is legitimately a hilarious series. Also I fucking love butch/stud/masc-presenting women/AFAB people.  So I’m willing to risk “The same Anime bullshit” for good jokes and a cute lezzy romance with a beautiful butch.  (Volume 1 is set to release of December of this year.)

My Excitement Level: Pretty nervous actually.  I hope it works out!

Monologue Woven for You

Story & Art by: Syu Yasaka     Publisher: Seven Seas

A woman gives up on a career in theater gets tangled in a relationship with a woman passionately pursuing theater.  Since it is set between college age women, and appears to be about more personal and mature themes I am interested. (Volume 1 I BELIEVE is supposed to be released in February of next year.)

My Excitement Level: Cautious Optimism

Mizuno and Chayama (No page yet so far as I can tell.)

Story & Art by: Yuhta Nishio     Publisher: Yen Press

Two daughters of feuding families meet in secret.  This is by the same author of After Hours.  I read a bit of After Hours and found it fine but boring since it seemed without conflict.  Conflict doesn’t seem to be in short supply with a story like this!  While I enjoy the sugary-sweet high school lesbian romances...those are not in short-supply. So I am always hungry for something darker, meatier, more mature. (Volume 1 is set to release next February) 

My Excitement Level: Cautious Optimism

5 Seconds Before The Witch Falls In Love

Story & Art by:  Zeniko Sumiya     Publisher: Seven Seas

It appears to be a playful fantasy about a Witch and Witch-hunter who’s antagonism turns romantic.  This may end up one note and stupid...but I’m always hear for queer romances set in high-fantasy and I haven’t read a Yuri where rivals turns to lovers. (Volume 1 is set to release next February)  

My Excitement Level: Low-key

Catch These Hands! (No page yet so far as I can tell.)

Story & Art by: Murata     Publisher: Yen Press 

A former delinquent runs into her high school rival.  After losing a fight to her she agrees to her terms...her terms being to go out on a date with her.  I mean the title alone makes me want to pick it up!  It may run afoul of bad anime humor, but I’m hoping with the fact that it’s full of gay adult delinquents that it’ll be a little different.  (Volume 1 is set to release next February)  

My Excitement Level: Medium-key

Series I have discontinued:

I’m in love with the Villainess

Art by: Aonoshimo  Story by:  Inori   Publisher: Seven Seas

A woman gets reborn into her favorite Otome game but she wants to romance the villiain!  I had heard a ton of great things about the novel but I picked up the manga version. (If the novel is totally different I can’t speak to it.)  For me, the writing is ham-handed, the jokes flop 90% of the time, and the fact the lead’s only personality trait seems to be ~obsessed with a bully~ really dampens this title.  Her advances are so aggressive and unwanted I honestly started feeling bad for a spoiled rich bully.  I will say it’s saving grace is the fact that the lead is masochistically into the villainess’ tsundere abusiveness. For me I hate tsundere romances if framed like, “I like you DESPITE your insults.” It is only tolerable if it’s instead, “I like you cause you tell it like it is. I’m a dirty little pig. Please step on this bad little piggy!”

Our Teachers are Dating

Story & Art by: Pikachi Ohi      Publisher: Seven Seas

Well one reason I stopped the series is that cover you see up there.  The sex in this series is fade to black but FOR SOME REASON the 3rd cover has them both butt naked.  But on a less superficial note, the story is about two teachers who start dating.  And while cute at points, I was just underwhelmed.  I think a part of it, is the fact that this behaves like a stereotypical high school romance...and while set in a high school...these are grown ass women not 15 year olds.  So I have less patience with the, “Gosh when will I get to kiss my girlfriend?” bullshit.  I mean, I would hesitate to call it bad...but it’s just not a good version of it’s brand of bullshit.

Breath of Flowers

Story & Art by: Caly                       Publisher: Tokyopop

Absolute train-wreck, this is hands down the worst Yuri I have ever bought.  The story is nonsensical and all over the place.  There is a love rival who’s trying to break the two of them up so she can get with Gwyn...but then switches mid-gear to put in a lot of effort to bring them together intentionally...but she also still wants to hook up with Gwyn...it’s very ????????????  The main conflict of Gwyn is hiding their gender so they can play basketball on the boy’s team (not well explained) is built up hugely and resolved with a hand flick.  There is a melodramatic moment where a school nurse says more or less, “GIVE IT UP YOU’LL NEVER BE A BOY!” And it’s like “OH SHIT! The fact that Gwyn is on the basketball team is cause he’s a transboy trying to live life as a boy! Oh gosh it makes so much more sense now!”  But the author seems to not even know that trans people exist cause the story bumbles along as if that scene never happened.  The closest we get is at the end Gwyn is like, “Look I’m learning to do make-up on myself to make you happy lawl!” Which is I GUESS supposed to be, “NO NO DON’T WORRY ALL OF GWYN’S GENDER STUFF WAS JUST THERE TO MAKE THE MAIN CHARACTER SEXUALLY CONFUSED WHEN SHE DISCOVERS GWYN’S TRUE GENDER!  HER TRUE GENDER IS 100% CIS WOMAN CAUSE SHE DID MAKE-UP ONCE! IT’S FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!” Like whaaaaaaaaat?  And it ends on a very random scene which doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the story.  Ugh just very bad do not interact!

A White Rose in Bloom

Story & Art by: Asumiko Nakamura    Publisher: Seven Seas

At an all girls catholic school a young woman falls for a mysterious foreign student.  I grabbed this cause it’s gay and I overall like Asumiko Nakamura’s work (she also does Doukyusei, double mints, and others.)  However I was just not grabbed with this title.  I just felt like I wasn’t getting what was making the MC pants on head obsessed with Steph.  Also the lead’s mother tells her that she’s getting divorced and therefore will no longer have money to pay for the university and she’s framed like a super bad person for this.  Like I get why the MC (a teenager) would think that something like that is THE END OF THE WORLD! But I remember them really framing the mom like a selfish bitch for this...when like...it’s well established that her mom and dad’s relationship has been toxic for YEARS and that they TRIED SO HARD to fix it.  OH WELL!  This might be good but it just didn’t grab me in the 1st volume.

I’ll make a post on the BL titles later! Take care and Stay Rotten!

[trashbinbackyard]

mmmmmaaaa 15/15 trias and shyn (as much as they even are dating) and the roomie poly trio why not

c’mon girls lets get sillay

1) Who rocks the Ferris Wheel seat and who flips out and begs them to stop?

They both rock it, see who chickens out first or if they get kicked off

2) Who is always horny and will have sex at any time, at any place and at any time?

Idk?? Trias is like medium+ horny so above average but not always? I get the same vibe from shyn

3) Who is more into taking showers/baths together? Who tries to make it relaxing and who tries to make it sexy time?

If they happen to find a manor with a built in jacuzzi you know it’s not gonna be either relaxing or sexy. there’s soap everywhere, a cocktail of bath bombs, bubbles flowing over, there’s at least three rubber ducks and one rubber puffer fish. it’s a chaos and they love it

4) Who likes to walk around the house naked and who tells the other to go put some clothes on?

They are both quite notorious dressing the bare minimum in public as well, i can totally see them both prancing around nakie in private

5) Who sleeps on the couch when they get into a fight?

Their relationship is not serious enough for fights like that

6) Who takes photos of the other while they sleep?

Trias might sneak a super flattering snoring triple chin pic of shyn

7) Who said “I love you” first? and who ends their arguments in a fight with “Because I love you”?

If either it’s shyn, Trias is still not quite used to even the f word (friend) let alone the dreaded l word. Thb she might panic and disappear for a week bc that’s how scared of commitment she is (she’d rather keep it casual and fun before she grows up and is ready for something more serious)

8) Who likes to wear the others sweatshirts?

Idk about each others but definitely some left over clothes they happen to find

9) Who wakes the other up in the middle of the night to tell them a cool dream they had? Who has the most nightmares, and who sings them back to sleep after?

If they’ve agreed neither is in dire need of sleep waking the other is free game, get the wild machinations of your mind out there before you forget. as for nightmares, i think trias would have more with that childhood trauma and the fact she’s come to terms she was a Horrible person

10) Who is more likely to cheat?

It ain’t monogamous in the first place but trias is too annoying to get anyone else to sleep with her, meanwhile shyn is the lesbian queen of the inner outer rim

11) Who makes fun of the other for having a crush on them, and who has to remind them that they are in a relationship?

not in a relationship, and neither of them make fun of each other for liking them, but the outsiders. trias won’t hear the end of it from krea

12) Who starts a food fight in the kitchen?

Why stay in the kitchen, start a food fight in ipes’s place

13) Who initiates duets? and who is the better singer?

Trias is a terrible singer, yet always on the waiting list for karaoke when she gets the chance, idk about shyn

14) Who starts the hand holding? Who grabs the others butt? Who slides their arm around their waist? Who likes to put their fingers in the belt loops?

Both are handsy ladies

Three’s a party

15) Who likes writes the others name on their wrist?

Quinn if they can hide it when going to work, gotta look presentable and not like a 40 year old elementary schooler

16) Who is more seductive when they are drunk? and who is louder in bed?

Wolf is straight edge and super unseductive, Mateo doesn’t really give me the drunk seducer vibe. But Quinn might sometimes take one too many and get super close with creme de menthe breath, easily dealt with by just scooping them up and tucking them in. As for loud.. Wolf is super timid and rather pops a blood vessel than let out any sounds. Quinn and mateo are free game

17) Who is more protective?

Wolf by a landslide, being as trained he is he knows how to handle himself but Mateo is blind and Quinn is made of sticks, if there’s a chance he can tag along when either go out he will, if they let him

18) Who talks to the other while they are sleeping?

Quinn is quite talkative and doesn’t mind the other snoozing off, they have a lot to say. Mateo straight up doesn’t see the other has fallen asleep so i’d imagine him talking and posing a question and getting a soft snore as a reply and just go “ah, yes” 

19) Who drives and who has the window seat?

Wolf or Quinn, tho Quinn’s sense of direction is not to be trusted

20) Who falls asleep in the others lap and who carries them to bed?

It could be anyone, though only Wolf would be capable of delivering them to bed. Good luck trying to get up and go pee if you’re quinn and two built men are sleeping on you

21) Who cuts the others hair?

Quinn does Mateo’s hair if he asks, but would go to barber themselves. Wolf just shaves to a crew cut when his hair get too long to his liking, he doesn’t trust himself to do anyone else’s hair

22) Who is super bad at sexting? and who sends them encouraging messages throughout the day?

I don’t think any of them would sext. Quinn sends out hearts and meme’s throughout the day when they have time

23) Who thinks they are not good enough for the others love? and who’s more afraid of loosing the other? Who thinks they keep messing up, only for the other to tell them they don’t need to worry?

In the beginning they all were quite insecure, the fear of someone just up and leaving. Mateo as the most experienced one would be most secure i think? once they get the starting hassle out of the way. Quinn comes second coz they have been dating before. But Wolf was thrown into the deep end and he might need some help and assurance

24) Who starts random slow dancing with the other in the kitchen? Who holds the other just above the ground and kisses them?

Quinn might do the extempore slow dance. Both Wolf and Mat are capable of lifting Quinn up and Wolf can pick Mat up, perfectly balanced

25) Who says shitty puns and sex jokes just to see the other giggle and blush?

Quinn is quite vulgar for their lack of experience. Mateo might crack few too to feel Wolf squirm

26) Who kissed first?

Quinn and Mateo, got the “oh yeah this feels right but Someone is missing out”. Both were very patient with their kissless virgin third party

27) Who orders take out at two in a morning? and who wakes the other up at three in the morning to go downstairs with them to get a glass of water because it’s too dark?

None of them have jobs that would require late nights and they’re middle aged so no fooling around late. Mateo is always up go get water because the dark don’t bother him. (neither does for wolf or quinn either but af egaeh )

28) Who writes poems/stories and love songs about the other? Do they sing the songs the write for them?

None of them are that musically gifted, unless mat is a secret virtuoso

29) Who does some crazy stunt to try and impress the other and who ends up driving them to the emergency room after it backfires?

Quinn, unlike Mat and Wolf, they have not tested their body’s limits yet

30) Who is embarrassed when they have to wear their glasses and who thinks they look super cute?

Mat literally can’t see wolf wearing his glasses as he read his tax news, and wolf is a grown man who knows sometimes you just need some goddamnt reading glasses. Quinn thinks they cute, big bad wolf has One weak spot, his bad near sight

▸     do they spend a  lot of time on their hair     /    grooming ? Yes.   in   terms  of   daily   basis  it  doesn’t  require  much  of   her   attention,  aside  from  wearing  the   proper  hair  brush  to  her  hair  type  (variates  between  a  boar   bristle   brush  and   wet  brush)   Tifa  does  deep  hydrating  treatments  twice  a  week  (coconut oil),   doesn’t  over-wash  her  hair   (3 times a week)   &   low-heat  setting  for  her  hair  dryer.  Tifa’s  major  secret  to  maintain  her  strands  healthy  is  shampooing  the  scalp,  massaging with  fingers  instead  of  nails  &  the  conditioner  along  the  length  of  her  hair.  Regarding  the  grooming  process,  Tifa  enjoys  to  tie   at  her  tips   or  sometimes  prefers  to  keep  loose.

▸      does your muse care about their appearance   /   what others think ? generally  speaking  she  doesn’t   care  what  other  think  unless if   it’s   a    specific    niche  (close  friends/crush).   Regarding  her  exterior  looks,   she   values   her   opinion  but   if   someone  contradicts   her   (ex :  ‘your  outfit  is  weird’ )     Tifa  will  innerly   question   &    doubt   her   current   appearance.   Personality  wise,   Tifa  is  stubborn  and  reluctant  to  change  minor  issues,  so  following  this  trace,  she  cares  by  half.   (50%)   

—    preferences.

▸      indoors    or    outdoors ?   ▸      rain    or   sunshine ?   ▸     forest    or    beach ?     ▸      precious    metals   or    gems ?       ▸     flowers   or    perfumes ?     ▸      personality    or    appearance ?     ▸      being    alone    or    being    in    a    crowd ?     ▸      order    or   anarchy ?   ▸     painful    truths    or    white    lies ?     ▸    science    or    magic ?     ▸      peace    or    conflict ?   ▸      night    or    day ?     ▸      dusk    or   dawn ? ▸      warmth    or    cold ?     ▸      many   acquaintances    or    a    few    close    friends ?   ▸      reading    or    playing    a    game ?    

—    questionnaire.

▸      what are some of your muse’s bad habits ? Have  you  ever  seen  someone  emotional  that  is  too  insecure  to  express  her  feelings  much   cause   sometimes  doesn’t   even   her   understand   what  is  exactly  is  going  on  with  her  emotions  or   that   she   believes   that   her   feelings  sometimes   aren’t   relevant  to  the  situation  they  are  inserted  such  as   ‘Prevent  Sephiroth  from  using  the  Black  Materia’  ?   That’s  Tifa  Lockhart.  No  wonder  her  name  suggests  such  a  thing.  Tifa  bottles  up  her  feelings,  not  only  due  to  the  fact  that  she  doesn’t  construe  them  very  well  but  there  are  times  that  she  outbursts     Quoting  Tifa :  “YOU’RE  JUST  GOING  TO  WALK  RIGHT  OUT  IGNORING  YOUR  CHILDHOOD  FRIEND  !? “    that’s  an  example  of  her  outburst  when  she  asks  Cloud  to  join  AVALANCHE.   Tifa  crack  her  joints  often  to  release   tension     ...  it’s  a  sign  of   her  anxiety  from  (PTSD)  

▸      has your muse lost anyone close to them ? how has it affected them ? Akane  Lockhart  (Mother),  the  death  that  inflicted  Tifa  the  most.  Considering  her  age  (8 years old)  and  the  bond  they  shared  caused  her  to  persists  in  a  denial  stage  of  grief.  Imagine  a  8   year   older   Tifa  believing  that  her  mother  was  in  Mt.Nibel  which  lead  her  to  do  multiple   things   that   harmed  her.    Brian  Lockhart  (Father)  in  an  early  age  (15  years  old)  and  the  cause  of  death  only  inticed  her  to  release  a  rage  against  Shinra,  a  painful  one  that  still  haunts  her  nightmares.   Due  to  her  coma,  her   grief   process   was  interrupted  &   the  trauma  lead  her  to  suppress  such  memories.   Biggs,  Jessie  &  Wedge  (AVALANCHE members)   guilt  grief,  mostly  inticed  by  Barret  since  Tifa  was  trying  to  deal  with  her  emotions  and  it  only  caused  her  to  be  confused  with  the  entire  situation.  Through  time,  she  does  feel  a  guilt  complex  considering  that  it  was  all  setup  by  Shinra.   Aerith  Gainsborough  (close friend)  it  was  all  to  quick  (meeting her,  her  death,  the  grief  because they had to continue with their journey)  I   believe   Aerith   inflicted   her   a    mix   of    these   3   grieves.   Denial,  rage  and  guilt     ...     The  denial  stage,  possibilites  that  was  an  image  created  in  their  head  since  in  the  Temple  of  Ancients  they  were  able  to  see  Sephiroth’s  passage  through  the  Temple.    Rage,  I  believe  she   discharges  her  anger   through  the  battles  and  her  willpower.  Guilt,  this  one  is  not  heavily  implied  but  Tifa  often  contemplates  ‘What If’  scenarios   such  as   :  what  if  I  went  along  with  them  when  Cat  Sith  shrinked  the  temple  into  the  black  materia  and  prevented  Cloud  to  give  the  Materia  to  Sephiroth   or   what  if   I  tried  to  stop  Aerith  from  going  to  the  Forgotten  City  when  Cloud  was   unconscious.   As  remark  of  her  beautiful  presence,  she  uses  a  pink  ribbon   around   her   left   triceps   to   feel   her  energy.  

▸       what are some fond memories your muse has ? Playing piano with her mother,  water tower meetings with Cloud (mainly the promise day, as much it can be considered sad cause he was leaving), Zangan lessons,  playtime with Johnny and Cloud,  Brian’s  pancakes,   7th  heaven  before  the  Meteor  /  Avalanche  schemes  (Wedge  trying  her  food,  Jessie and Biggs  drinking  games,  grooming  Marlene’s  hair  and   Barret’s  papa  bear  moments  to  Marlene),   Aerith  flowers,  Cloud  returning  from  a  delivery,  Vincent  vs  cellphone  &   Aerith’s  protection   

▸     is it easy for your muse to kill ? No.  Bearing  in  mind  that  her  weapon  is  her  hands,  Tifa  has  trouble  in  killing  ;  unless  when  it’s  a  monster.  or   Sephiroth.  When  she  is  boosted  by  rage,  her  impulsivity  might  cause  her  to  oblive  her  morals,  take  as  an  example  the  Nibelheim  incident  (no  wonder  it  incites  her  discomfort  leading  her  to  a  partial  memory  loss  (difficult to concentrate)  of  such  incident  {PTSD CAN TRIGGER THAT]   

▸      what’s it like when your muse breaks down ? EXTREME  ANXIETY.    Quoting  Tifa  “If I stayed here  ... I’ll go crazy”   I  believe  her  breaks  down  usually  occurs  in  2  cases  :   STRESS  and  EMPTY  MIND   (this  one  was  thankfully  controlled  by  her  medidation  routine)       First,  she  isolates  herself   ...  Tifa  is  convinced  that  she  has  to  be  the  optimistic  pillar  to  her  party  (Example :  Aerith’s  death.  She  caresses  Aeris’  hair  &  runs  away  to  burst  her  tears  in  private)    .    Two,  mood  swings  (this  is  a  common  one.  An  example  is  when  Nanaki  questions  his  sanity   to  Cloud,  Tifa  says ‘Be strong’  then  when  he  doubts  she  simply  shouts  ‘BE STRONG !’  ...  an  effect  that  suppressing  her  feelings  preside  over  her  breakdowns)   Third,  eating  &   sleeping  habits  are  affected.  Insomnia  mostly  and   skipping  meals.     

▸      is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life ? Yes.  I  wouldn’t   say   easily,  it  depends  how  that  someone  will  approach  them.  I’ll  use  Yuffie  &  Aerith  as  an  example.  In  the  case  of   Aerith,   her  approach  was  during  a  unfortunate  event  (Don Corneo’s  creepy  dungeon)  however  it   was  a  friendly  reach  considering  that  SHE  PROVIDED  THE  WHOLE  CONCEPT  OF  SAVING  TIFA.   When  they  arrive  Sector 7,  Tifa  request  Aerith  to  protect  Marlene.  Which  she  would only  request  someone  that  she  is  capable  to  trust  with  their  life.  About  Yuffie,  their  meeting  was  around  a  tricky  scheme  which  lead  Tifa  to  not   trust  her  easily,  cause  when  in  the  Wutai  sidequest.  Quoting  Tifa  :  “Something’s  telling  me  I  still  shouldn’t  trust  you”   implying  that  Tifa  follows   her  instincts.   Summarizing,   it   would   depend   on   the   circumstances   of   their   meeting.

▸      what’s your muse like when they’re in love ? highly   attuned   to   infatuation  —  as   long   as   she   can   trust   enough   to   let    down   her   barriers   and   allow    another   person   into   her  world.  she  loves   hard,   pursues  a   star   love   (the   kind   where   souls, minds, and bodies seamlessly merge)   Tifa  will  be  that  girl  that  attempts  to  show  her  emotions  through  actions.   She  tries  to  adjust  to  her  partner  ideals  which is  a submissive  trait,  yet  she  also  expects  that  her  sweetheart  demonstrates  somehow  (words or actions)   which  can  lead   her   to  be  that  type  of  lover  that   put   up   walls   and    say   it's   all   good   when   everything   is   clearly   the   exact   opposite,   since  Tifa  has  issues  in  dealing  with  emotions.   It  doesn’t  happen  often  but  she  feels  bad  when  she  has  to  demand  her  partner  for  affection  or   time  together.  These  walls  usually  crumbles  through  time.   Basically  she’s  a  giver  and  will  always  remind  you  how  much  you’re  worth  it  and  loved   &  how  lucky  she  is  to  have  you  as  a partner +  SUPER  ATTENTIVE &  CARING.

Probably over ten.. and more than half are boots. 

12. What was your last dream about? Asked by breaking-from-grace

13. What talents do you have?

I guess I have a talent for my empathy, art, and writing? Not sure what merits as a talent without being overzealous. 

14. Are you psychic in any way?

I’ve been called a witch because of intuition for emotions of others? Or being scary close to presuming things. 

Sadly can’t bend any spoons, stay tuned. 

15. Favorite song?

Toooo many. Music is too vast to pick just one, but I’ve been listening to Day Dreaming - Jack & Jack a lot lately. 

16. Favorite movie?

Probably the Phantom of the Opera version with Gerard Butler. 

17. Who would be your ideal partner?

Someone who is capable of respecting the flow of my energy. When I need space, when I’m all for being close. It isn’t that I’m picky or moody, but I know what I need and also don’t need them being worried when I’m just being quiet and reading a book. It’s just a mutual respect and understanding. 

Ya feel? 

18. Do you want children?

Yeah. Which is weird to think about. I’m not in any rush. 

19. Do you want a church wedding?

I think it is right for me to pursue it, but kinda no. I want a venue probably really low key done up in lights, curtains, and simplicity that doesn’t need a huge budget. Its about the bond, right? 

20. Are you religious?

Yep, I am a christian. 

21. Have you ever been to the hospital?

I have! I had a piggy bank get knocked on top of my head when I was little and my mom rushed me to the hospital. I think that was the first time I saw stars. Only time though!

You get put on a pedestal or get called terrible things if you don’t respond. It was a whack time. I don’t miss it. I was just famous for the designs I would put for the community and being like a “veteran” member with tons of “powers” (community bling). Blegh. 

27. Would you like to be a big celebrity?

Nope. I admire those that do great things and gain that attention for the work they have put in, but its a double sword. Everyone knows your business and looks at you. Seems like a ant under a magnifying glass analogy.

I like a lot of pop/alternative. I listen to generally everything except some heavy techno/bass stuff isn’t really for me.

So my family and I decided to go out to eat at a restaurant which was coincidentally across from the venue. So we were walking down the street and I see this huge tour bus right outside the restaurant. My heart starts racing and i thought “how cool would it be if I bumped into someone from the group” well lo and behold as we are coming closer to the bus, Christofer Drew turns the corner and walks towards the bus. So I stop in my tracks and just say “Christofer Drew?” And he stops and he says hi! He asked if I was going to the show and I said no and he goes “well you gotta promise you’ll come to the next one!” Of course I made the promise and I didn’t break it! He came back that summer and I got to see him ❤️ I also met two groups called Breathe Carolina and Crown The Empire. I also met Evan Peters and Sebastian Stan at Comic Con a couple years ago.

[hope-for-olicity]

Like many other "Game of Thrones" fans, including my colleague Rachel Leah, my initial reaction to last Sunday's sex scene involving Arya Stark was initially one of shock that the show was, you know, going there. Oh sure, I expected some flirting and some light making out between Arya and her long-time crush Gendry. But I did not, like many viewers, expect young Arya to get after it like she did, aggressively seducing Gendry and stripping down naked in front of the camera, albeit in a shot that was surprisingly tasteful for a show that has been infamous in the past for sexploitation.

My mind sprung through all the rationalizations to justify my discomfort: I don't know if she's old enough! Even if she is, she started off on the show as a child, making this weird! We're not used to thinking of Arya that way! Couldn't they have been more coy about the whole thing?

But pretty quickly, I recognized those thoughts for the excuses that they were. The actress, Maisie Williams,  is a grown adult of 22 and her character is plenty old enough to know her own mind when it comes to sex. (After all, Arya is older than Bran, a character that was literally just described as having grown into a man in the last episode.) And in a show where everyone, including her brother Jon Snow, gets naked for the camera, it would be paternalistic to turn away from Arya's moment in the sheets.

And as for an unwillingness to accept that a girl I once knew as a child is an adult woman now, that was the worst hypocrisy of all. As a feminist writer, I've spent more than a decade railing against the "purity" double standard that congratulates men for having sex while treating women's sexual behavior as dirty. And one of the most common ways that standard is enforced is treating an "innocent" girl's maturation into an adult woman as a tragedy, as if merely growing into sexual maturity degrades her personhood.

This double standard is everywhere in our society. Sex education and reproductive health care for younger people still falls short all over the country, because so many adults assume such things violate the "innocence" of young girls. Condoms are relatively easy to get, but when feminists tried to remove age restrictions on female-controlled contraception such as Plan B, they met widespread political resistance. And 37 states require parental notification or consent for a girl under 18 to get an abortion, even though the average age for first sexual intercourse is 17.

Refusing to accept that girls grow up is often treated not as the oppressive force that it is, but as something cute or comical. Take former Vice President Joe Biden, for instance, suggesting a young man had a duty to "to keep the guys away from your sister." Or the multitude of T-shirts with jokes about fathers murdering their daughters' boyfriends. Built into this joke is the assumption young men wanting sex is normal and expected, but if a young woman does it, she's ruined.

We all swim in these cultural messages — my own dad made jokes about carrying a gun around when boys came calling — so it's no surprise that my own lizard brain recoiled at the image of Arya expressing her sexuality so assertively onscreen.

But that is an unfair impulse, and so I'm calling myself and everyone else out for our discomfort and calling on us all to do better about supporting young women, even fictional young women, who take charge of their own sexuality.

Contrast the discomfort many felt at seeing Arya's sex scene with the way that another young character, Podrick Payne, has been celebrated for a season 3 episode in which he lost his virginity in a literal brothel orgy. I have no quarrel with the scene, which was mostly set up for a joke about how the bumbling teenager is a secret sexual savant. But it's worth pointing out that his was a far more raunchy premise than Arya's touching love scene with one boy she's had a crush on for years.

The actor who plays Podrick, Daniel Portman, was 21 when the brothel scene aired, a full year younger than Williams now. And his character was coded as much younger — likely 15 or 16, and a squire who at the time was still mostly naive to the ways of the world. Arya, on the other hand, has traveled by herself for years and is a trained assassin. But she's female and so somehow it's more troubling for audiences to see her get it on with a boy she likes than to see the childish and sheltered Podrick jump straight into an orgy.

It's hard not to suspect that a great deal of audience discomfort with Arya's scene came not from the actor's naked body, but from the character's naked desire. Arya initiates the sex talk, and when Gendry accedes, she claws at his clothes like a woman who has been dreaming of this day for years — which is what she is. There was none of the coyness that women are expected to display. Instead, as with most things, Arya is a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it with abandon.

The scene should be celebrated for its feminism. For one thing, it's a model of enthusiastic consent, and completely stomps the ridiculous but still widespread idea that it somehow kills the mood for people to use the spoken word to ask for sex. And Arya doesn't have to be something she's not — more feminine, more demure, more ladylike — to get the male affection she wants. Arya has no time for fancy boys, but likes to get down with a sweaty weapons smith, and there is nothing wrong with that.

This feminism is why I'm not particularly worried that this scene might read as permission to the men in the audience who want to leer at teen girls like creeps, which is always a concern. Men who like the "Lolita" fantasy — and who all too often harass teen girls in the real world — like the idea of violating a girl's "innocence." But Arya isn't innocent. Nor should we demand that she should be.

"Game of Thrones" has always been smarter about gender and sexism than many fans have understood. (See the way that Sansa Stark, long dismissed as a bimbo because she's more feminine than her sister, turns out to be one of the smartest characters on the show.) And Sunday night's episode showed this yet again, by confronting one of the most entrenched sexist taboos,  against letting girls — especially tomboyish girls — grow into women.

Yes, it was startling. But hopefully Arya's scene with Gendry, and our reactions to it, will kickstart a conversation about how screwed up it is that we expect girls to stay children for far longer than we expect it of boys. Arya has traveled the world, killed dozens of men, and now will be fighting a zombie army. She's not a child anymore, and expecting her to be is unfair to her and to all young women who have a right to leave childhood behind.

Secret Sixteen

@nalu-fluff-week Nalu fluff week 9/14 & 15 Day 7 & bonus day Future & Plushies (AU)

Her mother handed her the stuffed dragon doll, chuckling as the child quickly wrapped her arms around it, giggling with bright chocolate eyes.  “Is this from you mommy?”

“No dear, someone left it for you this morning.”

“But who?”

“I have no idea, the card simply said from your friend.”  She smiles at the happy child, “I’m sure they were too embarrassed to give it to you at school or something for your birthday…”

Every year from that moment it never failed to arrive, a special plushie left on the door step of the Heartfillia residence, sometimes with a bow or in a gift bag depending on its size, chest huggable to one blue cat that sat 3 feet tall.  They were often something she loved, from stars to the latest cartoon character, pink hearts, or silly weird animals, whomever was leaving these birthday surprises knew her better than most, but she had no idea who it could be coming from.  

Lucy tried asking all of her friends assuming it had to be one of them, but no one ever gave her a clue. For the first few years she tried staying up to see who it could be but always fell asleep before the person arrived and one year she’d even gotten her best friend and neighbor Natsu to come over and wait with her to no avail.  Eventually, by the time high school had come around she had simply given up the quest and hoped that one day the person will reveal themselves on their own.

“So,” her neighbor queried on their walk home from school, “what do you think it’ll be this year?” Natsu knew of her secret admirer dolls and he loved to tease her about it.

“I have no idea,” Natsu had turned it into a guessing game over the last several years, trying to figure out what the gift could be, and while Lucy didn’t mind playing along, it was getting old.  “But I wish they’d just give it to me in person.  I mean we’re older now and if someone has a crush on me they should just say something.”

“Oh really, you think it’s that easy to just walk up to someone they like and go hi, I’m the one that’s been stalking you for 10 years, but I really like you so here’s your gift and will you be my girlfriend?”

A flush creep’s over the girl’s cheeks with blotches popping up on her chest, “W-Well when you say it like that I guess not!  And I wouldn’t call them a stalker, they’re probably just really shy or something and I think that’s cute!”  

He chuckles, “O-Okay, maybe you’re right.  You said they seem to know the things you like so, any guess at what it’ll be this year?”

“Mmm,” tapping her chin, “a giant pencil or maybe something from Pokemon, if they’ve figured out I started playing that Go game recently.”

“Sounds like good guesses.” He stops and turns on her, “Hey, wanna stop for ice cream?” holding out his arm, “my treat for your birthday.”

“Aww, Natsu,” she flutters her lashes and weaves her arm through the crook of his with a giggle, “Why I’d be delighted!”  

“Yeah okay weirdo,” laughing at her horrible fake southern accent…

With ice cream cones in hand, the two friends sit down on a bench at Magnolia park discussing the test that was coming up tomorrow.  It was the last final of the year for both of them and while Natsu was confident about the Chemistry exam, Lucy not so much.  She didn’t hate the subject, but it also wasn’t her strongest and if it hadn’t been for Natsu’s tutoring she couldn’t have maintained her B average grade.

“Just use the review notes I’ve given you to study with and you should be fine.”

“Could I borrow your confidence too?”

He squeezes her hand, “you don’t need it, you’re a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for.”

“Thanks,” blushing at the big grin he was giving her.  

“But, just in case…” Natsu stands up and pulls something out of his pocket and walks around behind her, “this will be my reminder to keep your chin up.”

She attempts to twist around to see what he was doing but stops when she feels his hands placing something around her neck.  Looking down as he finishes clasping the chain, she’s stunned to see a chain attached to a stunning silver Cancer Constellation pendant.  “Natsu this is too much!  I can’t accept…”

“Don’t freak out, it’s not real diamonds, just cubic zirconia’s,” chuckling, “I’m a high school student not a millionaire but when I saw it I knew it would be just perfect for you.”

Lucy traces her fingers along, grazing over each star point, “Natsu it’s so beautiful,” her eyes growing moist.  She pops up off the bench and throws her arms around him in a hug, “Thank you!” kissing him on the cheek, “I absolutely love it!”

“You’re welcome, Happy early birthday…”

That night after dinner, a quick shower, and with her gathered ‘energy boosters’of Powerbars and coffee, Lucy cracks open her Chemistry book ready to pull an all-nighter if need be.  Natsu’s review notes were great, pointing out all the major highlights of each chapter and it would be her starting point for sure, but the young blonde wasn’t taking any chances.  She planned to utilize all the chapter quizzes as well to practice the formulas since that was her weakest point.

‘Exothermic is the process of releasing energy… in a high temperature reaction between a fuel source and oxygen…. In a fire the combustion is what produces a flame…. Multiple combustion processes produce heat…’ Exhale, ‘smoke is the gaseous byproduct…’  Lucy rubs her eyes and in the light of her lamp, checks the time, ‘great 2am already.’  

She stands up to stretch, arms, back, and legs, grabbing her last energy bar to munch on before walking over to sit on her window bench.  Lucy loved this feature of her room, especially on rainy days when she could simply relax with a book amongst her collection of plushies.  To keep the fabric of the dolls from fading, the curtain was kept closed to block out the light and stayed closed most of the time. But it was dark out, so she cracks it open a couple of inches, just enough to gaze at the stars while she ate her snack.

Movement out of the corner of her eye in the shadows, the street lamps were pretty bright but when Lucy looks closer, there was a person creeping along the path towards her porch! ‘My secret admirer!!’ She dashes out of her room, down the stairs, and sprints to the front door.  It didn’t matter if she was in her pajama’s or that her hair was slightly skewed because she was determined to catch him or her ‘finally!’

“Gotcha!” Lucy proclaims as she swings the front door wide open.  “Oh, my…” but when faced with her admirer, shock quickly morphs into a giggling fit. “I should’a guessed it was gonna be you Natsu!”

With the gift bag still in one hand, he cups the back of his neck in a nervous manner, “Damn, ya finally busted me,” a goofy grin plastered wide on his face.  “Happy Birthday Lucy,” he holds out her present.

But before she accepts his gift, Lucy steps out, closes the door behind her and drags him over to the porch swing.  “I’m curious about why’d you keep doing this in secret?”

“Well when we were 7, I was too shy to give it to you in person, and even though we’ve become close friends, it was kind of fun to see you get all excited of your secret admirer and the gifts so…” shrugging, “I kept it up.”

“Were you ever going to tell me?”

“Eventually,” a slight blush stealing away on his cheeks.  He hands her the bag again, “here, at least I get to see your reaction this time.”

Lucy accepts the bag and pulls out her newest addition.  “A Charizard!” she hugs the dragon to her chest, giggling “looky at the cute flame on its tail!”

“Told ya it was good guesses today.”

“Do you know what else makes this dragon so special?”  Lucy places the stuffed doll back in its bag and scoots closer to her best friend.  

Gulp, “No…”

She reaches out, caressing his cheek, and feeling the rising warmth of the skin, “the first plushie you gave me was a dragon, so how ironic that when I finally discover your identity, it’s another dragon too.”

“T-that is ironic…”

“Shall I save you the next hard question?”

“Huh?”

The blonde giggles, retracting her hand, sitting up straight, and changes the tone of voice to a deeper Natsu voice impersonation, “hi, I’m the one who’s been stalking you for 10 years, here’s your gift so will you be my girlfriend?”  Now switching to grabbing the doll back out of the bag, holding it to her chest and giggling in an overly dramatic high voice, “Thank you, I love the gift!  And I’d love to be your girlfriend!”

“Alright, alright weirdo,” trying to sound irritated, though the smile was giving away his true feelings. “But, who said I was gonna ask you that?”

“Gasp!” Lucy fakes the sounds of sniffling and pretends to cry, even burying her face in the doll’s body, “I’ve waited 10 years for my Prince to finally reveal himself to me and when I finally get my wish you want to break my heart now, after all this time…”

“Oh, shut up,” he pulls her into his lap, “my drama queen.”

She peeks out from her doll, “Your drama queen?”

Plucking the doll away, “Yes mine, ” Natsu tilts her face up, brushing against her lips, “you were always mine, you just hadn’t known it yet.”

“Dude, just go talk to her.” Ned urged his friend.

“No, she won’t say yes. Forget about it.” Peter shook his head with a sigh. He watched you approach your locker with one of your friends. You and Peter have known each other since 7th grade and even though you were friends, he’s had a crush on you since he laid eyes on you in the first place.

You two weren’t best friends but you two talked in class and hung out at lunch since you were friends with Ned and MJ. You had your own “clique” and Peter had his but you liked to hang with him. He was cute and extremely smart. Lately, you’ve been thinking about asking him out but you didn’t know how he would react. You were a confident girl so it’s not like you were nervous about it or anything.

You just thought Peter wouldn’t go for someone like you. Despite MJ repeatedly telling you how much Peter has a crush on you, it still held you back from getting what you really wanted. Peter was just the kind of guy who was generous, always helping others, always making you smile and laugh and just had a good heart. It was hard to find someone like Peter and you knew you had to snatch him up before someone else did it for you.

Peter, on the other hand, knew you wouldn’t go for someone like him. You were just so beautiful and confident and he was average and clumsy. When he wasn’t wearing his Spiderman costume, he didn’t have the confidence he would like to present to others. The only person who knew about his “other self”, was Ned. He wanted to tell you since he’s heard you speak of Spiderman so fondly but he knew Tony would get pissed at him.

He just wanted to make you happy and you just wanted to make him happy.

“Seriously, when are you going to ask him out?” MJ asked you as you put your books in your locker.

“MJ, not so loud, okay? He’s standing right over there… no, don’t look!” You nudged her shoulder and she laughed, leaning against the lockers next to you.

“Come on, it’s not like you’re scared to do it.”

“You’re right, I’m not scared.”

“Then what’s holding you back?”

“He’s not going to go for someone like me. I don’t regularly hang out with him. I just talk to him in class and in the halls.” You shrugged.

“Yeah, and you sit with him at lunch and you walked him home once. Come on, I’m not falling for that bullshit.”

“Michelle. Okay, fine, how about this? He doesn’t know me. I don’t fully know him. He probably has this huge secret that no one knows about and it might scare me away.”

“Yeah, because all 15-year-old boys hide bodies in their basement.” MJ scoffed.

“I didn’t say he hid bodies. I’ll do it when I’m ready, okay? You happy with that?” You shook your head with a smile.

“Better do it fast. I overheard Liz saying she was thinking of asking him out.”

“What? She’s a senior and he’s a sophomore!” You pouted.

“Exactly. Someone is calling me over. I have to go. Do it quickly Y/L/N.” She smiled as she left. You shook your head and continued putting things in your locker.

“Come on, Peter. She’s right there.” Ned lightly pushed his shoulder and Peter sighed.

“No, MJ is talking to her. She’s busy. I’ll do it later.” Peter shook his head, trying to avoid looking like a fool but just as the words left his mouth, MJ walked away from you.

“Now she’s not. Go before someone else does.” Ned said, pushing his friend towards you. Peter looked back and glared at him but looked at you when he approached you.

“Hey, Y/N,” Peter said nervously.

“Oh, hey Peter. What’s up?” You took out the book you needed for your first period and shut your locker, leaning on it as you stared at him.

“Nothing, just stopping by to say hi.” He smiled.

“Well, hi. Listen, can I ask you something?” You didn’t miss how his eyes lit up a bit at this.

“Sure.”

“Look, I know you’re, like, the smartest guy in our class and I’m not doing too hot in chemistry. Could you help me? Maybe after school? I could come over if you want.”

“Yeah, I’d be happy to help you.” He smiled.

“Okay, thanks.” You smiled and nodded, looking over at MJ who was smirking at you while she was talking with her friend.

“Yeah, okay, see you later.” Peter chuckled nervously and started to leave. You stared at him, hoping he would stay but he was so nervous, you probably scared him. When Peter turned around, he made eye contact with Ned and groaned internally when Ned gave him a stern glare.

“Wait, Y/N?” Peter asked, turning back around.

“Yeah?” You asked, turning to face him.

“I also wanted to ask you something.”

“Okay, go for it.”

“Well, we’ve known each other since, wow, 7th grade. That’s a long time. Anyway, I don’t know if you’re busy or not but you know that movie that just came out? Jurassic World? The new one?” You had to chuckle at this. The boy was so nervous, it was cute.

“Yes, I know it.”

“Right, of course, you know it. I don’t know why I assumed that you didn’t.” Peter rambled.

“Peter?”

“Yeah?”

“You were asking me something?”

“Right,” Peter nodded, scratching the back of his neck. “Well, the drive in across town is having a special where they’re showing that movie and, if you’re not busy, I totally get if you are, but I was wondering--”

“Hey! Y/N!” You looked behind you to see Flash walking towards you. Peter immediately shut up when he saw his enemy. He knew Flash liked you and knew that there was no competition. If Flash asked you out now, he knew you’d pick Flash.

“Hi, Flash,” You said, going to talk to Peter again but Flash interrupted again.

“So, Jurassic World comes out this weekend. What do you say you come with?” You looked over at Peter who was already trying to escape this conversation. You knew Peter was trying to ask you but Flash rudely interrupted you.

“Actually,” you started, catching Peter’s attention. “I was in the middle of making plans to see that exact movie with Peter at the drive in.”

“Wait, really?” Peter asked with surprise in his voice.

“You want to go with Parker?” Flash asked with a disgusted tone.

“Yeah, I do. He’s not a dick and he’s way better company than you. Don’t be rude next time.” You turned around to face Peter and smiled.

“Y-you want to go with me?” Peter stuttered.

“Yeah. You know where I live. You can pick me up at 6.” You leaned up and kissed his cheek before walking away from them.

“You better watch your back, Parker,” Flash growled before walking away. Peter didn’t even register what Flash said. All he could think about is how you said yes and the fact that you kissed his cheek.

“Dude! Way to go!” Ned said after you and Flash left.

“What the hell just happened?” Peter squeaked out.

“You got a date with Y/N.” Ned smiled and patted Peter on the back.

“I got a date with Y/N.” Peter breathed out. He looked behind him to see you turn the corner. But before you could, you looked at Peter and waved at him.

“Come on, let’s get to class before we’re late,” Ned said, walking with his friend to their class.

“I got a date with Y/N.” Peter smiled, feeling a lot more confident.

tagged by @jmhwriterblog​ and yeah, ‘course I’m gonna do writing stuff ;p

Rules: Answer the questions and then tag as many writers as there are questions answered (or as many as you can) to spread the positivity! Even if these questions are not explicitly brought up in the novel, they are still good to keep in mind when writing.

FIRST LOOK

(using The Seven Kings, ‘cause that’s what I’m wrapped up in right now)

1. Describe your novel in 1-2 sentences (elevator pitch)

The brutal assassination of a king sparks the partnership between a hated half-breed hungry for revenge and a well-educated prince whose father arranged said assassination. 

2. How long do you plan for your novel to be? (Is it a novella, single book, book series, etc.)

Editing the first book right now. Still need to finish its ending. And I was so excited, I might have already started to write the sequel... ‘bout two solid chapters in so far. AND there’s enough happening that it’d probably be a trilogy. 

3. What is your novel’s aesthetic?

I... suck at this question every time I see it.

I guess... I’mma have to go with redemption. 

4. What other stories inspire your novel?

Legend of Zelda for sure, mainly inspiration for the diverse kingdoms and people. And then, I dunno, there’s probably a little bit of every fantasy movie and book I’ve ever seen/read tucked in this story somewhere. 

5. Share 3+ images that give a feel for your novel

clicky - takes you to WeHeartIt

MAIN CHARACTER

6. Who is your protagonist?

Valerie Tanner and Eli Orphesis (named him during my Greek obsession)

7. Who is their closest ally?

They gain several throughout the story, but the main two are Roderick, a rancher and old friend of Valerie’s (practically a second father to her), and Elyn, one of the queen’s handmaidens who joins them on their journey. Oh and then Aaron pops up later, and he’s an old ally of Valerie’s as well. 

8. Who is their enemy?

Mainly: Darrean Orphesis (yep, Eli’s dad)

9. What do they want more than anything?

Valerie wants revenge for Garrett’s death, and Eli wants to forge a path to his own future, a future not doomed to exist in the shadow of his father.

10. Why can’t they have it?

Valerie: gaining revenge changes nothing; Garrett’s still dead, and she’s still an outsider

Eli: he has to grow up and learn who he is without his father’s title protecting him, and there are a LOT of tough lessons on the road ahead for my boy. 

11. What do they wrongly believe about themselves?

Valerie believes she’s completely alone and useless. She believes her life is worth little, and that spending her life in service to better people/better men is the best she can do.

Eli ... is pretty arrogant, so his are kinda negative. He believes he’s untouchable, that he’s immune to certain feelings (like pity and loss). He thinks he has all the answers.

12. Draw your protagonist! (Or share a description)

Valerie: 28, 5′8″ (172 CM), weighs 135 pounds (yes, I did), lean and muscular, smaller-than-average bust size, wavy brown hair that ends between her shoulder blades, deep/dark brown eyes, Caucasian, Ossa tattoo on her upper left arm (all black ink), muscular stomach, narrow hips, fit legs, covered in old/faded scars from battle and/or training, wears: black trousers that fit tight, knee-high boots, a fit undershirt to keep the girls pinned down and covered (;p), and a loose white overshirt to keep her cool. 

Eli: ~26, 6′2″ (188 CM - people of his race are tall as fuck), blue skin (similar to Oxford blue but a hair lighter), black hair that is a bit shorter than shoulder-length and he keeps it in a low ponytail at the nape of his neck (sexy!), bright golden eyes, muscular and well-built, hands lack callouses (only trained, never fought), no scars or wounds, wears proper royal clothes like a prince should (tunic, trousers, knee-high boots, waistcoat, the works)

PLOT POINTS

13. What is the internal conflict?

Learning to accept help, realizing that people are more than their pasts or their titles and especially their race

14. What is the external conflict?

A power-hungry king and his massive army of well-trained, well-armed soldiers who are all purebloods, so they all have magical abilities.

15. What is the worst thing that could happen to your protagonist?

For Valerie, losing the people she loves who she tries to protect. She’s watched so many die. She tends to be pretty self-sacrificing because she’d rather jump in harm’s way and die if it means saving someone else. (She has some self-esteem issues as well, so wanting to be someone’s shield makes her feel useful, and therefore, good. She also values others’ lives over her own.)

For Eli... Failure’s a big one for him. He’s probably afraid to die, but I’d say failing and letting down those around him is worse. His mother went to great lengths to make sure he was cultured and well-educated, so with all his knowledge, if he fails, yeah, that’d probably be what would crush him more than anything. 

16. What secret will be revealed that changes the course of the story?

Probably the reveal of Eli’s power. He was never trained as a child like he should’ve been (for reasons!), and so since he’s a pureblood, his powers developed on their own. He’s powerful but uncontrolled, so his abilities start leaking out, so to speak, on their own.

The reveal of what his power actually is, is a good moment. It’s subtle, but as each of the other characters begin to realize just how much power he wields, they also start to realize how REAL everything is becoming: like the war, their chances of survival, etc.  

17. Do you know how it ends?

Yes. I know the jist. I know what I’m aiming for. How I get there, I dunno, and what’s said or done when we get there, I dunno. 

I know which port I want to dock in. Just not what it looks like. 

;p

(I swear I am not drinking.)

BITS AND BOBS

18. What is the theme?

Hmm... unity for sure, redemption’s a big one, some focus on equality, but I’d say mostly it’s about people finding their place in the world by following their own intuitions rather than falling into the role provided for them or forced upon them. 

[cue Disney music]

19. What is a reoccurring symbol?

Valerie has a tattoo on her upper left arm that marks her as a member of Ossa, so basically an outsider. After what happens in the opening chapters, she keeps the tattoo hidden whenever possible. But its meaning causes some tension with... basically everyone she meets. 

...there’s probably others, but I can’t think of any that don’t require a lot of explaining... and I was pretty vague on the tattoo for reasons.

20. Where is the story set? (Share a description)

In the country of Nubrya (hate the name, can’t find one yet to replace it). It’s the border country on a massive continent and is encircled by three (possibly four or five... haven’t finished plotting the map) other countries to its east, west, and north. The south of Nubrya is open to the water. Its eastern edge rises into steep cliffs overlooking coves dug into the mountain side to house the nation’s ships during the winter. The western border levels off into desert. The north is rocky terrain, isolated, and sitting on a raised plateau, so every step from the heart of Nubrya upward is a hike. And to the northeast, there is a massive mountain range, upon which one of the Seven Kingdoms sits. And to the east/southeast (before the cliffs) are the farms and vineyards of the country.

Every type of landscape and temperature zone and climate is represented. 

21. Do you have any images or scenes in your mind already?

Since the first book’s finished except for a few scenes and the final fight leading up to the already-written ending, most of the scenes are already down on paper. The second book, however, oh, boy! I have SO much planned and cannot wait for the willingness to write it down. XD

22. What excited you about this story?

I originally wrote this story back in high school. As you can tell by my username, I’ve kept the characters with me through the years. :] Recently (meaning last year, I think), I got to thinking about the original story from high school (titled: “The Unknown Soldier,” I think), and I missed it. So I dug out the original copy, started reading it, and by about, oh I dunno, page 2, I was ready to hang myself ‘cause the writing was THAT BAD.

But the plot was a good one. The characters were half-developed, but they had the potential to be so much better. So I remolded them, fleshed them out, added a ton more characters, revamped the settings, added MORE settings, dumped in a whole bunch of emotional turmoil, updated some names, increased the stakes tenfold, added more magical/fantasy elements, and landed these characters in a MUCH better story. 

A lot about the story excites me, but to know I revitalized an old story, pried it off the gurney, and zapped it back to life--a life better than the one it had before--that excites me. :]

23. Tell us about your usual writing method!

Frantic. Messy.

I write scenes as they come to me. Stitch them together later with transitions, and edit to fix any time lapses or to plug in missing information. I do outline, but they look like this:

Guy does this thing. it’s cool, but not too cool. Then girl finds out. And note for later: the girl’s really a guy. OH! And remember by scene five to put in a live rooster or else the whole chicken joke won’t make ANY SENSE. End with badass scene with knives. RESEARCH: knives.

Hey, I just made that up on the spot. Welcome to my brain.

But that’s the basic idea behind what my outlines look like. XD Except, I do usually write my outlines in ALL CAPS and important items are bolded or highlighted. But that’s a minor detail.

Rooster.

...

Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

NOW GO WRITE! (or tag yourself and do this. T’was fun.)

Mama Murphy has a vision about the Sole Survivor and reveals a deep secret about how they feel for a companion.

Mama Murphy: “I see… You’re with somebody; somebody close. They don’t know how you feel… You feel… love!”

Sole: “Yeah, I guess I feel a general unselfish love-“

Mama Murphy: “No, romantic… sexual love… FOR THEM.”

Sole screams internally as Mama Murphy points at their crush.

Ada: She couldn’t believe it. Even though she was metal and Sole was a human, they loved her not for what she was, but who she was. Ada may not know much about love, but at least now she will never be alone- ERROR! DID MAMA MURPHY SAY SEXUAL?

Cait: The most predatory yet desiring grin crept onto her freckled and scarred face, as Cait discovered that Sole is looking for a bed mate. But her internal thoughts were perplexed by Sole thinking gushy things about the two of them together. Cait was never one for settling down, let alone singing and reciting poems. But if it were Sole, maybe she could give it a shot. “So… you’ve been thinking doing the nasty with me?”

Codsworth: Flattered that his master would consider a Mr.Handy as a suitable partner for life, Codsworth doesn’t feel worthy; he doesn’t feel he could fill Nate/Nora’s shoes as Sole partner. Although it was nice to think about, except the part about the… ew… sexual thoughts. “Mum/sir… how in the world would we even… would it be me… or you… If it were you, then where would you even… *ahem* insert. Hopefully you wouldn’t even think about my thruster?”

Curie: Many emotions began spurring within her head, Curie needed to snap back into reality somehow. She started approaching Sole ever so subtlely so she could tell them that she felt the same way. “Sole… don’t be ashamed. I… I love you too… We can be together now right?” Candle lit dinners, non-stop reassurance, cuddling, kissing… kissing on Sole’s bed… kissing on the floor… kissing…naked…” It appears Sole isn’t the only one with sexual thoughts.

Danse: “Bruh” pretty sums up how the Paladin nearly fainted upon hearing Mama Murphy’s vision. Usually he wouldn’t listen to anything that isn’t based off tangible facts. But this involved him and Sole. Also most of Murphy’s visions have come true. Maybe this time he’ll take a chance. A chance on Sole and on love. “Well soldier. Are you ready for new orders?” “Danse! SHIT! I mean-What’s my mission?” “Me.”

Deacon: Upon hearing Murphy yell “For him!” and pointing him out, baldy knew the timing was perfect to make a move. That is if Sole didn’t run off embarassed. “Guess we gotta do plan B.” Sole was drowning in liquor at The Third Rail in hopes of drowning their embarassment. “Shouldn’t have left Deacon like that… Better go own up.” Just before they ordered one last drink, Sole heard a familiar voice that isn’t Magnolia come from the speakers. “You’re just too good to be true. Can’t take my eyes off you…”

Dogmeat: Everyone’s good boi always sensed something between his best friend and the red lady. Like how sometimes they’d spend so much time together, their scents began to mix. So when the old lady who smelled like an ashtray pointed out the red lady to his bestie, something in Dogmeat told him to help their friend. Dogmeat began nudging Sole towards Piper/Cait who stood as if she was waiting for Sole to do something. Once they were face to face, Sole finally confessed months of yearning to their lady in red. This instigated confession ended with the start of something beautiful. Sole had gotten the girl, and it was all thanks to the best wingman in the Commonwealth.

Gage: “There’s no way the boss could have feelings for a piece of shit like me. Maybe some sexual tension, but romance?” Sole always came through, always. To the point where he could open up to them. Maybe that’s what spurred it. Or maybe they think he’s weak and is thinking about offing him. “So Gage. Could I interest you in a ride through the Tunnel of Love back at the park?” Screw it. “So long as we skip the line.”

Hancock: The mayor of Goodneighbor stood with his hands on his hips and a grin on his face. Sole wanting him made Hancock feel like a king. Sure other people have been with him, but he was just a body to them; something a little different from the average wastelander. With Sole, there’s so much more. Maybe he’s found his Schuyler to his Hamilton. Only this time, Sole will be the only one satisfied and will never feel helpless.

Longfellow: “So all those times you called me gramps, that was you flirting?” Sole nodded their head, looking anywhere but at the silver fox. Sure he’s older by like 15 years, but he’s aged to perfection. Sole then felt rugged hands tilt their head up to meet the hunter’s eyes. “Why call me gramps, when you can call me… Daddy?”

MacCready: Mac became a shade of red never thought possible to reach. Sole loved him? Maybe not love. Do they just want sex? “Then again, Murphy isn’t one to bullsh- I mean, joke with serious stuff?” Mac began pondering whether he should give Sole a chance. They took a chance when hiring him, going after Barnes and Winlock, and looking for Duncan’s cure. “Maybe you’re my love.”

Maxson: “Why did I even leave the Prydwyn?” Aurthur got dragged to the ground by his own soldier, Sole. They insisted on Maxson taking a break, but listening to an old woman high beyond all measure ramble. It was all ramble until she revealed how his best soldier felt about him. The fact that they had kept it secret shows how much they’ve thought about him. This isn’t just lust. Handing Sole a key he whispered in their ear: “There will be a curfew tonight at 2200 hours sharp. ALL troops are to be in their quarters by then.”

Nick: If the gumshoe could faint, he would. Instead he got the blue screen of death when he found out Sole had feelings for him. When Nick blacked out, he had a hell of a trip: reliving old memories of Jenny. After what Sole had helped him avenge her death, maybe it was time to move on and return the favor. When Nick rebooted, the first person he saw was none other than Sole. “Nick! What was the last thing you remember?” “Oh nothing. Just somthing about… romantic thoughts.” Sole had hoped he wouldn’t remember. “Also some… sexual thoughts.“

Piper: One minute Ms.Wright was chugging down a Nuka Cherry, the next she was spitting all out in a frenzy after hearing Mama Murphy tell her that her best friend, Sole had a crush on her. Well this is awkward. Piper needed to say something, hell this was about the two of them. “Blue. I appreciate the thought, but…” Sole stood stained with cherry flavored Nuka Cola, with an almost broken face upon hearing “but.” Piper needed a smooth recovery, quick. “BUT I DON’T WANT TO RUSH THINGS! I MEAN I LOVE YOU TOO! I WAS JUST SHOCKED THAT YOU FELT THE SAME. Although I didn’t think you thought about ME like… sexually. BUT THAT’S BESIDE THE POINT; WANNA GO ON A DATE? I KNOW THE BEST PLACE TO WATCH THE STARS FROM DIAMOND CITY! WE’LL GET NOODLES TOO!” Nailed it.

Preston: Oh boy. “Sole… I like you too.” Wait. What? Who would have thought that Sole’s right hand man would fall for them? Would it be when he would try to hype up the Minutemen with “HERE COMES THE GENERAL!” or when he would give them his coat whenever they got cold? But it was clear the feeling was mutual; the two embraced, silently pledging themselves to each other. While they were hugging it out, Preston realized that Mama Murphy had given up drugs thanks to Sole and that there were none in sight on her person. He then looked at her with a raised eyebrow only to receive a solid thumbs up from the Commonwealth’s best wingwoman.

Strong: “For them!” “AHA HA HA! SHE JUST REVEALED YOUR DEEPEST DARKEST SECRET! HA HA! YOU MUST BE SO EMBARASSED! DO ME! DO STRONG NEXT!”

X6-88: Very little made the edgelord smile, even halfsmile. But finding out that Sole has feelings for him… False. This was coming from the mouth of an old junkie, there’s no science backing it. X6 dismissed this, assuring Sole that this has done nothing to ruin his image of them. Although the thought of giving it to Sole, made X6’s nether regions engorge.
