#icb this game is a comfort to me

[urtrickster]

anyways here's a short dbd clip comp bc the game is silly sometimes and i love it.

[dichotomousvariable]

PLOT IDEAS/CALL !

it's the weekend! which means i have more time to chat with people :> i wanna get some more stuff GOING so!

like this and i'll pop in your tumblr dms to plot! or if you prefer dis/cord, send me a friend req (i'm thegongoozler), and we can chat :>

below the cut i also have some wanted plots/ideas! but if none of these jive with you i'm still happy to discuss!

wooseok cannot cook to save his life and subsists on shitty microwave meals, someone have pity on him and teach him how to cook . (or just do it for him because he seems like a lost cause)

other yellow dorm peeps? wooseok is the opposite of a troublemaker usually but he has probably lost his keys a few times and looks awful sad sitting on the floor in the hallway

evo ppl expecting him to feed into the rivalry but he's just like "i just work here" (his views are somewhere in-between, he doesn't really understand why we can't just get along)

an application of his anomaly is that he can view memories, but this doesn't come nearly as easy as the hearing thoughts thing. he also would never do it without permission. someone willing to let him practice? and risk embarrassing memories resurfacing... (or sad. if u wanna go there)

he needs people to get him out of his comfort zone... his overuse of nullivi is a problem & he needs to learn to be okay without it in public but it's scary ! maybe they bring him to a party? keep him calm? make it worse? maybe they just see him there about to freak out? who knows !

your muse and him find out they have a weird niche nerdy shared interest and bond over it :>

classic pre-est/old friends stuff? wooseok grew up in NYC but lived in busan from ages 12-19ish

self indulgent but please someone who finds his general weirdo dork demeanor to be endearing and thinks something about it. he will die (read: blush ferociously)

study buddies? preferably someone in music/music theory/programmy majors

your other classic plotted exes/whatever else...

i am open to basically anything within reason. LMAO

edit: icb i forgot video games. bonding over viddy games is definitely likely

[hime-bee]

oh my god..... my favorite author..... following me back on tumblr..... i must be hallucinating..... my time has come... i can finally see the light....

THAT SAID OMG HI HIME ): icb you actually followed back this embarrassing tumblr account of mine (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠) .. but i've been a fan of your work for a vv long time now and it brought me sm comfort 🥺 my personal faves are your alchemy stars & arknights fics 🫰🏻 esp kleken one on the beach i love that sm that i kept rereading it everytime i get sad (and horny) because wohoo tentacle sex my beloved

AAAAAA?? YOU'RE SO SWEET, SERIOUSLY- 😭😭 Hearing that I'm someone's favorite author makes my heart grow ten times bigger, Grinch style 😭💞

Also, wow, that's such a throwback on. I haven't been on Alchemy Stars in so long, but I had so many drafts planned for characters. I'm kinda sad the game became boring for me �� Regardless, thank you for reading my stuff, I'm so glad you enjoy it enough to consider me one of your favorite authors! You have immaculate taste btw, Kleken is just so??? Ughhh 💦💦💦 I miss that lying octopus 😭

(Side note, but I don't think your blog is embarrassing at all! 😌 It's your space, you're allowed to do whatever you want with it)

[woozi]

if you had to describe your friendship with your moots as seventeen ships (boochan, jeongcheol etc) which moots would it be and why? is it dynamics? your undying love for each other? rivalry? sorry if this doesnt make sense ^^

it does make perfect sense don’t be sorry!! <3 also i don’t really see myself as just a single member of svt (although i am eerily similar to jihoon irl, surprise!! JDFJKDFK) so going through 12 pairings through a single member may not be very telling for my r/s with my moots sdksjkdjsd that being said i’m just gonna go through a few select ones!! some of these also don't exactly match svt's dynamics, but for the sake of answering, i would say they're pretty similar, lol.

cheol x gyu — i’m not associating rhys (@heartgyus) with cheolgyu’s dynamics just becase she used to bias one and now biases the other (👀), but i think they simply encapsulate our relationship perfectly as well <3 what am i if not the older sibling that roughhouses and gets roughhoused by the younger one JKDSJKDSJK i think we can also be jihan but this is exclusive to what happens (uhh... evil things) in the DMs lmfao. and maybe because people always think there’s something going on between us dsjkjkdjkds

junhao — cliche as fuck but i can’t help it it’s how e (@junhaoshua) and i are KJSDJKDS i was actually going through the list when it hit me.. we ARE junhao <3 jun’s (who would be me in this case) the older and more playful one out of the two, but hao also does his fair share of crazy antics ESPECIALLY with jun. i also think e is so cool (just like hao is). that’s MY bestie right there!! inseparable. fond. loyal. a pact made in blood. perfect for e and i <3

jeonghan x hoshi — partners in crime. mother and child. this is also what aya (@bonknanab) is to me <3 when i think of jeonghan and hoshi, i get reminded of their vlives (which always give me comfort and a sense of familiarity like aya does) just like seokhan. i feel like i can talk about literally anything and everything with aya! and just like when hoshi is with jeonghan, i tend to be a little more grounded while still somehow retaining the potential crazy antics. my fun older sister <3

soonhoon — pure energy vs solid wall. it’s carrie (@art-hao) and i <3 can i just say that when i made this connection between us and soonhoon... i literally felt like i ascendeDDDD not to toot my own horn but im SO SMART for this JDKKJSD u all don’t understand because this is literally how we are (both as individuals and as a pair). i cannot explain it but i, for sure, can most certainly attest that if any of these pairings i’ve mentioned/will be mentioning just reflect similarities, soonyoung and jihoon are EXACTLY as carrie and i are. i don’t even need to explain it i’m just gonna link all of u to soonhoon vids <3

seoksoon — belle (@xuseokgyu) is literally the seok to my soon <3 as they say, it’s literally almost canon JDSJKSJ i also love how we recognized this because of one of the carat anon ask games, but u know what they are absolutely right lol. belle is my positive ball of sunshine who also guides me when i’m going off the rails (just like how seokmin is the part-time hoshi wrangler). just as seoksoon has their own little world sometimes, i think no one connects with me and gets me (esp my dino tunnel vision) like belle does and i think that’s special <3

soonwoo — no one balances hoshi’s external chaos better than wonu, and i think belle (@gotseventeens) does exactly that when we’re together <3 at first, people think wonu’s cold and intimidating, but in reality he’s just a calm ball of internal chaos and other miscellaneous knowledge DSJKJDSDSKLSD this is literally how i thought of belle at first (minus the cold part), but as soon as we actually got to some proper talking, i realized that i literally cannot go without this person. friends for life, just like soonwoo!! <3

seokhan — one of the first things i think of when i think about jeonghan and dk together is that iconic eating vlive in their dorm, and i think that sums cora (@ohoshi) and i’s relationship KJDSJKDS i don’t think we personally match jeonghan and dk’s personalities, but we do dynamic-wise (or at least I think we do DSKJDJKS)! cora’s also just very supportive of me, just like how jeonghan is to dk. and although we don’t talk much lately (just like how seokhan aren’t able to share hotel rooms anymore bc.. well.. they have nowhere to go lmfao), i still treasure this bond with her <3

verkwan — ok but literally oona (@vernons) and i <3 foremost, oona is just here vibing like vernon and i absolutely love that omg. she’s also very collected and keeps to herself for the most part but when she reaches out, her gestures are always so heartfelt, which again, is like vernon! i really admire oona just like how boo does vernon, and the way i see it, i’m the loud friend (boo) whose antics vernon always witnesses, but when it comes to things they’re also a confidant. 10/10 vibes on this one!! <3

seungkwan x dk — wholesome. besties. it’s chey (@soonhoonsol) and i <3 like cora and i with seokhan, chey and i aren’t really similar to booseok but when they’re together i just think of happy and good things, which is what i get reminded of when i think of chey. <3 going through the list, i think they are also what we’re most similar to? i don’t think our dynamic can be compared to one of svt’s but this is the closest (maybe chey can suggest a better one JDSSDKDSJK)!! another one i can probably compare it to is wonwoo x vernon because i just feel like i can rely on chey just like vernon does wonwoo. <3 and like the two who have their personal humor codes, i also feel this special bond and fondness with and for chey!

hoshi x mingyu — am i about to steal your wallet. am i gonna get pissy that you beat me in a worthless competition (i know u will <3). that’s it that’s the post for emily (@iiasha)​. SDJKJDSJKDS mingyu’s also the prime witness and the reaction-machine to hoshi’s shenanigans and that’s literally how emily is with me, especially when i first got into caratblr (icb she saw the dinonara in me even before i did oh M YGODD). also emily is my getaway driver so this checks out. <3

jeonghan x wonwoo — i just realized that these are two of anna’s (@haniehae) boys but maybe the things and people we like also say a lot about us jdkjsdjdsjkds. i think our dynamic would be similar to jeonghan and wonu! jeonghan always like starting shit up (like i do <3), but wonu (like anna) always handles it very well and elegantly at that lol. i also just can’t describe why i feel like we fit this vibe, but i just get the Feeling™ JSDJKSDJKDS together, these two aren’t very chaotic, but i think they are quite the powerful pair (esp when they combine their sexie brain power and scheme together, just like what we did for HourlyHannie - shameless promo DKJSKJSDJKDS). also anna has Cool As A Cucumber vibes like wonu as well so <3

jeonghan x woozi — i always think of the time during svt’s trainee days wherein jeonghan was intimidated of woozi DKJKSDJ that’s also how i thought of izzie (@coupsnim) when i first entered caratblr bc i thought she was so cool (she still is!! <3) i also see that jeonghan has a lot of respect for jihoon and i do likewise for izzie. like jihoon as well, izzie mentioned that she’s not good at conveying things, but i feel it when she tags me here and there in little things (which i also might have missed some bc i have not been checking my notifs JDSJJDSJS ILY IZZIE). she’s one of the constants here as jihoon is central to svt, and i think of izzie very highly <3

boochan — lee (@uriboogyu) and i aren’t frenemies (but maybe we will have this arc soon JDSJKSDJSD JK!!!!!!!!!!), and i don’t really know where i’m getting this vibe from either, but when i think of lee and i boochan comes to mind. i think it’s because we’re always screaming at each other JKDSKJSJKSD. but as i think more about it, i believe it’s also because lee is a bit like dino as she’s the younger sibling that always reaches out to grumpy old people like me (and boo JDSKJSDKJ). both are very confident too!! also boochan lives for the show, and i won’t elaborate, but lee and i do too JDSKKJD

hoshi x seungkwan — target practice. waiting for each other’s downfall. still besties nonetheless <3 @mulberry-rose. i’m always excited to see if boo and hosh are gonna be friends or enemies a certain day and this is exactly what happens to monet and i lol. she’s one of the people who snipe me for my bias list, but we love to see it <3

soonchan — FOND FOND FOND FOND FOND!! when i think of soonchan i think of that vlive inside boo’s hotel room wherein they were hugging and calling each other 😭 or that one time in isac where dino’s just resting on soonyoung’s lap 😭 that’s exactly the feeling i get with mina (@mango-mina). i treasure this one right here! the absolute sweetest <3

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 (talk to me u never talk to me u scary girl)

Send me 🌻and I’ll tell you whatever I want | Accepting!

Soooooo scary.

Anyway, that’s 10 things you want me to talk about. OKAY!!!

I have a stack of TBR books by my bed, but on the side that I don’t sleep on that doesn’t have a lamp. It’s the most useless setup. Like, I’m not gonna reach across a queen-sized mattress to rifle through these books before bed. I fantasize about reading them - luxurious bath times, cozy rainy days, sunning myself in the common patio with a book - but I haven’t been able to bring myself to read them. I think I’m scared of being disappointed. I don’t have time to be let down by fiction anymore. Last year, I read so many duds and so this year, I can’t quite motivate myself to read. It’s super lame and I feel like a sham since I’m an English teacher.

My BFF bought me a beautiful oracle deck/tarot deck when we were in college. She knew I wanted to get into reading tarot but that I was superstitious AF about buying my first deck for myself - something I now think is ridiculous, but I was twenty and anxious - so she bought me this glossy, gorgeous deck. I haven’t learned to read it but I want to. I really, really want to. Especially since I’m pretty good at the Rider-Waite tarot deck. Maybe I’ll offer free readings online as I learn the deck. IDK.

I really, really want to play a DnD campaign. I’m really still angry that the last one I tried to DM didn’t pan out past one session. I understand why and it was for the better, but damn. I love tabletop RP. I love board games. I love regular RP. Just let me play games with friends!!!

I cosigned a statue of Sekhmet to my friend’s metaphysical shop. Everyone who looked at the statue kept asking me if it was Sekhmet or Bast and my friend and I were both like The headdress is quintessential Sekhmet. Bast doesn’t wear that kind of headdress. But ngl, the statue looked more like a cat than a lioness so... Who knows?

I binge-watched Season One of Gravity Falls yesterday while I was nursing a sinus headache. I don’t know what my deal is, but I have a THING for chaos twins. I just kept imagining a world where the relatives Dipper and Mabel had to spend the summer with were their creepy goth third cousins on Piffling. It delighted me.

If you have a mask that ties over your head instead of with ear-loops, it’s so much easier to wear when your hair is in a ponytail. I prefer my mask that ties around my head to my ear-loops one BUT MY GOD I WANT THIS MALEFICENT ONE OR THIS ONE. Actually, when I saw the blue and pink on the second mask, my brain was like “Sleeping Beauty is a bisexual film”. All the characters in it are bi. Aurora, Maleficent, Phillip, Diaval. Every fairy. Even the king and queen. Bi af. If you argue with me, you owe me ten dollars.  

I bought the more expensive model of Mazda when I bought my car in part because I liked the features but also because I was more at ease driving to Fleetwood Mac than I had been driving to whatever was playing in the first car I tried out. NO REGRETS!! MY CAR IS AMAZING. I drove it through a high water crossing today and it excelled. I say these sentences like I bought my car recently, but like, nah. I got my car while I was student teaching three years ago. I’m just thinking about it because I’m listening to Fleetwood Mac right now and I just drove for 3 hours. I know fuck all about cars, though. I want to learn a few things but I’m scared to ask. I’m very good at calling AAA and talking to the guys at Discount Tire, though.

My sister has spent the last two years trying to convince me that I’m secretly a cat person. I actually would secretly rather have plants than animals because I don’t even feed myself, but I do stay hydrated, so I think I’d do better with plants. I might drag Courtney to help me pick out succulents this weekend. They’re 10 for $10 at Kroger and ADORABLE.

I want to go on an apartment cleanse/redecorating spree. I spent so much of my childhood moving that I’ve never felt very comfortable decorating or making a space my own. It’s time. I also have a ton of stuff to donate to Goodwill.

ICB you want me to make an audio loop of every time someone says “Finnegan” in the 2015 film. ICB I might do it. Why do I love him so much? It’s not like Max Landis gave him a personality. That’s 100% Freddie Fox and the costumer’s handiwork. Well. Plus me. But that’s just between us.

[rubberduckyrye]

Oumotaaaa, ta-

Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: Honestly at first, me and @aroseandapen only talked about the ship in a platonic sense, but then one day we were like “what if they hate(tm) fucked” which turned into “Wait Kokichi can’t really “hate(tm) fuck people he only messes around with romantic partners” and it evolved into them being boyfriends. xD

My thoughts: I love this ship sm, it’s one of my otps tbh. It’s so messy and passionate and emotional and I’m down for rival ships always. Icb it took me a while before I started shipping it tbh, I normally go for the rival ships with power struggle dynamics

What makes me happy about them: Honestly they’re kind of a perfect match. Both are intelligent and energetic, leader types, and they both have a lot more in common than they’d like. Them learning how to be emotional with one another without shame is a super awesome idea hhhhhh

What makes me sad about them: The tragedy that was Chapter 5... god, neither of them deserved to die. They were just two people having a hard time put into a situation they couldn’t escape from. Anf like the title of that chapter suggests, they were on a journey together that they didn’t choose for themselves, yet they still did their best to make the most of it. Without Passion, nor Purpose, yet they were able to team up and so barely nearly defeat the mastermind and the killing game. It’s such a tragedy, these poor boys...

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I don’t read a lot of fanfic that’s not among the things my immediate friends have written :’D Um, I really dislike it when people write Kaito to really hate Kokichi’s guts, and vise versa? Make Kaito a bigoted asshole? Make Kokichi a bigoted asshole? Idk.

Things I look for in fanfic: Messy, fluff, warm, maybe even a lil spicy........

My wishlist: For Kokichi and Kaito to live and kiss and be boyfriends

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Shuichi and Kaede. Oumasai and Momomatsu. But also: Saioumomatsu. They all date.

My happily ever after for them: VRAU where they can heal within each other’s company, learn to feel and grow, and just finding happiness in their lives together...... good.......

be honest meme - 3, 30, 35, 38. <3

Talking about something besides work | Accepting!

3. What current rp trend do you hate?

I do not like the Google Doc thing. Mostly because I’m not making YET ANOTHER Google account and then sharing my documents with you. Sharing a Google doc with someone is such a level of intimacy that I just.... hmmm... Don’t. I don’t even know if I share Google Docs with my coworkers tbh and that might be important.

30. How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all?

Fun fact: I teach high school. My fluency in popular slang is a tool and a weapon.

If you’ve ever had the misfortune to speak to me outside of tumblr, my speech is a nightmarish amalgamation of words like “nightmarish” and “amalgamation” and.... meme speak. Yikes. I overcompensate for this by asking my kids if every single video game I catch them playing is Fortnite. I’m really trying not to use so much slang and internet syntax, but I do catch myself explaining literary terminology in ways that is UNCOMFORTABLE for everyone. 

35. Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own?

I sometimes read other people’s threads. I used to read more of them, like, over the summer and back when I was in college. I do love other people’s writing! I simply do not have free time anymore. Icb I made time to do a meme tonight lol. 

But. Seriously. I do enjoy other people’s threads! Especially partners who I actively RP with. Like Clare and Marty are doing a thread with each other that has NO BEARING on our group verse (and, in fact, involves one of Clare’s characters I don’t know) and I always get excited to see it on my dash. It’s super rad to watch people you love, who you know love each other, write something cool... to be the audience instead of the one crashing the group chat to proclaim her own genius. 

38. What advice would you give to someone new to rp?

Set up your online space to be comfortable and happy for you. Follow blogs you like. RP with kind people. Set boundaries. Respect boundaries. Be open to AUs and crossovers. Block liberally. Turn off anon sometimes. Take breaks sometimes. Prioritize your real life needs over RP. Unfollow people who make you sad. Don’t vague blog. Read books/media that inspires you to write. PICK A CHARACTER(S) YOU LOVE. 

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
