#it just seemed appropiate- xD

[vampirtulpe]

Hello Advance Wars Fandom. May I offer you.....Pokemon Au?

[runawayonryo]

Can you make a male version of the teacher sang-woo x student? :)

Alright! it's same up until the point of him seeing you through the window and asking you to come outside. Then i change it to be more male appropiate. (btw if my english sucks, sorry i'm german so... XD))

Warnings: teacher's pet, slight smut, fluff, blowjob, handjob,

since a few people requested a male version, here it is!

wrong or right? <sangwoo x male reader>

prof.sangwoo was your biology and chemistry teacher. Great... the two subjects you suck in... in those subjects you have a hot teacher. Perfect. Every day he showed up in a gray suit dress all fancy. Did he seriously expect nobody would find him hot? you couldn't help it.. you could only imagine him kissing you, treating you like a princess. He may seem cold, but he seems like the kind of guy who is extremely sweet to his sweetheart. Maybe even the kind of guy to-

"y/n?! are you listening?" Your eyes sprung open.

"uhh yes prof.sangwoo" "then rehearse what I just said." he stated. You were silent. "my office 5pm" he said whilst letting out a loud sigh.

"Anyway. Can anyone repeat what I said?" he asked the class. Nobody could fulfill his requests. "the damn periodic table! did anyone listen?" he asked. Wait... the periodic table? *you raise your hand* "y/n" he said nearly giving up completely.

"the periodic table in a list of all the elements such as water, gas etc" you said confidently. "yes. godamn it!" he said. "is y/n the only person who knows anything?" he asked.

After handing out sheets to work on, he came up to you. "good job earlier. All these 19 year old are useless... seriously." he said whilst rubbing your shoulder a bit. he was about to leave but "prof.sangwoo?" you asked. He came back towards you. Now he was directly in front of you leaning over the table. "yes y/n?" he asked with a smile. He stared deep into your eyes. "thank you... nobody ever compliments me..." you said in a shy tone.

"fuck why is y/n so damn sweet and... good looking?"

he thought. "you're welcome y/n. I've been seeing you getting distracted a lot lately. As I stated, i'd like to talk to you around 5 pm in my office alright?" you nodded. *bell ring*

"is it already 12.15?" sangwoo looked at his clock. indeed it was already 12.15. "well then.. see you tomorrow" he said. They still had three hours of school left. Two of them being math and one PE.

Sangwoo walked over to the chalkboard and started to clean it before turning around slightly and seeing y/n leave.

"fuck.. i love y/n.. why is he so sweet... i can't no... no. forget it"

he whispered to himself. Before taking off his glasses and aqusting his black hair.

On your way to his officer

Walking through the long halls of your school alone was quite intimidating. When you looked out one of the large windows. There he was.... prof.sangwoo smoking a cigarette.

You tried to ignore him, but he already saw you and gestured you to come over. You obliged and walked down the hall a little until you found the door outside. As you walked towards him, he looked over at you. "good evening y/n" he said.

"good evening sir..." you said. You were relatively shy around him. Even if you liked to act like an alpha male... around prof.sangwoo you couldn't. Sangwoo glanced at you. he realized you were shy. But he ignored at first. He held up his pack of cigarettes. "take one" he said. "what sir?" you asked. "I know you smoke. take one bud" he said. You reached out and took a cigarette than gave him the pack. He held his over his lighter and lit your cigarette.

"so. care to tell me what's been going on?" He asked whilst taking a draw from his cigarette. You didn't say a word. He looked over at you again. This time, staring you up and down. "sir, may I ask what all this is about?" you asked. Sangwoo put his hand on your back. "you're a man right? act like one. Tell me what's going on please. I'd appreciate it" he said with a smirk.

Instead of answering you simply put your hand on his back and asked: "tell me what all this is about then?" sangwoo chuckled. "there we go" he said with a smirk before tossing his cigarette on the ground. He removed his hand from your back and placed it on your thigh. "am I making you nervous?" he asked with a wicked grin. "wha-" you couldn't finish your words before he moved his hand towards your crotch. "don't tell me what to do alright? follow me" he said before removing his hand from you.

You followed him inside into his office. He locked the doors behind the two of you. Then he sat down on his chair and spread his legs. Damn he was hot...

"y/n.... listen. I know you've had a crush on me for awhile. I just wanted you to admit it. You've constantly been staring at me, mention me every time you can, act shy around me when you're quite a personality normally, and you followed me alone in here" he said whilst smirking. "y...yes I'm sorry sir"

"come on dude. Don't apologize and most important... don't call me sir. alright?" You nodded. "come here" sangwoo said calmly.

You did. Now you stood a foot away from him. He got up slowly, now he was only a few inches away from you. He walked behind you, and just stood there. "don't turn around. alright big boy?" he said laughing a bit. You nodded again. When suddenly, you felt his hands on your thighs. One hand sitting on your thigh, the other making it's way towards your dick. "don't speak unless I ask" he said. you nodded. Then he started rubbing your clothed boner. you whimpered a bit and sangwoo chuckled. "feels so good doesn't it?" he asked. "y..yes" you whined.

"well I have bad news for you" he said before removing his hand from your erection. You looked around confused. Sangwoo walked back towards his chair and sat down. "please me, and I'll please you" he said with a wicked grin. You walked up to him and got on your knees a few inches away from him. You slowly started to unbuckle his belt then pulled down his jeans and boxers to his knees. His erection sprung forward. "fuck..." you whispered to yourself. He chuckled a bit. You cut his laugh short after taking the tip of his cock in your mouth. He let out a loud groan. With one of his hands he gripped you hair and forced you down on his dick. You didn't mind this however. You continued to please him with your tongue and mouth. after only minutes he moaned out: "fuck.. I'm co-" his words were interrupted when he reached his high and he released his warm seed in your mouth. Then he let go of your hair. You removed yourself from him and swallowed. "haha naughty boy" he said winking. you smiled. He pulled his pants and boxers back up, but you stopped him. "please..." you paused.

"you want me to fuck you?" he said laughing a bit. Before you could answer he pressed you against the desk and pinned you down. "be my guest" he whispered into your ear.

Slowly he took off your shorts and boxers whilst kicking off his own. Then he lined you with your entrance. Before he did anything, he reached into his drawer and got out the lube. "ready?" he asked. You nodded. Then he slowly entered you. "fuck..." you whined. To drive you even more crazy, he moved his hand and started jerking you off whilst he fucked you. "how does that feel" he said chuckling a bit. "so...fu..king good" you moaned.

"then be a good boy and cum for me" you didn't need anything else. You came right then and there. You were whining and moaning mess underneath him. "god! you came hard dude" he said smirking before leaving you and turning you around. "well... i was a virgin.." Sangwoo's expression was priceless. "what? and you didn't tell me? then I would've made this a little better..." he said before pausing. You just smiled.

"no it's alright. i should thank you" you said winking an him.

Looking at 321 with vague context

Future Worange who took a week break of this for... I actually forgot why I did it then... then again it might be worth it if this is a 2 parter? I only know the premise for a panel I saw so... lets have some fun

I honestly been expecting someone, ANYONE to check on these two in reality (to a point I expected the entire school to check on them the first time they left  the school together as a couple... alas it didnt happen until today

SO... who are the investigation crew? the 3 female members of the Tadano-bowl I know plus a girl I dont know (also the unlimited bonker is mission for today... sorry I still dont know her)

Oh a explanation of how they ended up stalking? Okay I’m list... THAT’S JUST STATING YOU WANNA KNOW I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING MOAR!!!! xD

So yeah, we have Agent of Chaos Najimi, Heat of Gold Manbagi, The Ultimate Yabai Yamai and... sorry miss I aslo dont know your name or code... this shall be fixed sometime in the far future

Yamai comiting acts of petty violence... Appropiate for her lets be honest

Najimi trying to pass undetected yet snooping... luckily TAKO’s nerveousness is on their side

Manbagi doing her best to keep Yamai in check... why did she mean with “intercept”? ... honestly I dont want to know

TADANO GET OUT OF THE CORNER THERE’S A B-PLOT HAPPENING HERE! (although totally understand his reaction to Komi stating she is happy just being with him... damn!)

Yamai enjoying Tako keeping distance as it equals “date fail”... you’re pathetic

Thankfully catharsis on the way seeing her react to the hand holding :D

Yamai? DEAD Manbagi? In tears Other friend? Excited Najimi? At soup Ramen Hotel? Trivago

And we chance scenery Ultimate Bonker having... a match... with... a lady in a very “victorian” dress? (I DONT REALLY KNOW THE STYLE OK?) 

And seems the ultimate bonker is losing but suddenly an urgent telegram arrives!?!?!?!?!

HOLY SHIT THE HAND HOLDING BECAME A POWER BOOST AND THE ULTIMATE BONKER WINS THE MATCH 

AND WHAT EVEN THE FUNK WAS THIS ENDING!?!?!?!? (although I approve the usage of friends being in love as a power boost, its good :D)

Well that was silly and simple... and not much to add beyond an apology for no finding the energy to keep the other liveblog, it will show up eventually but I still dont know when... until then or the next talk in this side of the future (which is definitely more likely to happen first)

[eva-does-her-best]

*Warning: controversial wall of text, might anger someone and if so I am sorry, this is just a rant honesly xD*

I usually would not voice my thoughts as doing that generates conflict, but I figured sooner or later it will happen and I don't want people to follow me and then find out they hate me or heavily disagree, it is better to say it before I get any follower at all.

1. As a trans person and as a student of linguistics I am against inclusive language, at least in Spanish I think it is useless as we have neutral already and usually people only promote it for political reasons. Having a neutral that looks like the masculine is not machist, the same as some culture out there could have a neutral looking like feminine wouldn't make that culture less machist. We inherited our way of forming neutral from Latin, that's all there is to it, no ulterior motive. Also a lot of times it completely ignores word formation like when they claim Presidente is a masculine word when it has 0 masculine traits, none.

2. In college (mine at least) they try to "educate us" in terms of gender, racism and colonialism. They do it all wrong. They force a lot of things onto as as if it was our duty to agree and honestly it doesn't help, it actually makes things worse, we get tired of what they say, we get tired of them talking about it 24/7 so we stop caring and even don't want to hear about it anymore. When studying literature they value representation more than literature itself, of course I wanna read good books, of course everyone can write good books, but giving us 1 book of each culture/race/whatever is not what we are there for, we already have culture classes, we are time-limited on the course so we want to learn about the most relevant/important/well written books, and we could not care less if all are written by whites, blacks, indigenous people or turtles, cutting from the class some works cause you "already represented that group" depending on how they do it could very well be the very segregation they preach against. They are also followers of other segregating trends like "cultural appropiation", which usually means you can't do this if you are not x race and believe me, they barely touch on asians, I don't know why.

3. I believe in science and human progress, I am not a mysticist, humanity should survive just for the sake of surviving. Sounds ironic, as I reaaally dislike humans usually, but yeah, seems like the person who hates humans wants progress more than some who claim to love humanity with some cheesy slogans about how great humanity is and how better than machines they are cause they have soul or will or whatever. Don't want to sound prideful, yeah those people are really stupid, I am also stupid, but at least I know it, I admit my stupidity, I also admit that I am absolutely not important, just one more living being on a massive neutral universe.

4. I am not a democratic person, I do not believe what most want to be right and I don't believe we should do something that is wrong just because the majority voted for it. We the common folk are nowhere near the level of responsability and knowledge we should have to take important decissions.

And that is it, hope I did not anger you if you reached here, have a wonderful day<3

Ok, watermelon sugar video day concept: You're preparing your breakfast early morning alone in the kitchen, have your airpods on, you're dancing a bit and humming along to The Archies. When you turn around to pick a plate you spot H leaning on the door frame staring at you with his sleepy eyes and a small smile on his lips that grows to a full on grin with crinkly eyes when you finally see him. You smile back and take one airpod out. "Morning, angel" he says, walking to you and hugging 1/? 🌻

you tightly, hiding his face on you neck. "It's early, gorgeous, you can still sleep for a while, you know?" you would say softly to him. He shakes his head and takes the airpod from your hand. When he giggles againts the skin on your shoulder you start singing low "Oh honey! Oh sugar, sugar! You are my candy girl and you got me (exagerating a sniff on his hair to imitate the sound on the record) wanting you." He'd lift his head smiling and slowly bump his nose with yours before kissing you sweetly. 

It's slow and doesn't last long because you both can't stop your smiles. You would earn your favourite kind of laugh, the breathy one, when you would continue the singing imitating the high pitch of the record "Pour a little sugar on it baby I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah!" While laughing he'd have lost his grip on your hips but wouldn't take him more than seconds to pull you to him again with a huge grin before kissing you deep & slow minutes tasting and loving each other that feel too much and too little at the same time. 

He'd left a small moan out and you couldn't stop the smug smirk that would cross your face. When the song ends, Tutti Frutti by Little Richard starts playing and you let a boisterious laugh out. "What?" "Seems appropiate for the day" you say. "How so?" "Well, in minutes you're gonna have half the population dripping for a piece of fruit, so..." he'd let out that cackle laugh that always makes you laugh alongside him. 

You'd grab his face sweetly and say "Happy watermelon sugar video day, my love!" [I'm not really a writer and english is no my first language so apologies if this is shit but I've had this on my notes since the MV came out. I just love the domestic, soft thoughts of being in quarantine with Harry. I have a feral one when he shows you the video, but I might need to work on that one because whew xD] 5/5 🌻

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IM SO SOFTTTTTT

[albinokittens300]

If you find or receive spoilers about the kiss, would you post it? (with the appropiate precautions of course)

I don’t know, honestly. 

Depends. Most likely not as a public post, but I would message other people I know are looking for the info. Even if they already know. Just for the ability to squeal about it XD. 

But I am not sure if I would post it. We’ll have to see. Not many people seem to be going to these early screening so I don’t expect to get any massive spoilers...perhaps I will be proved wrong though :).

BTS A.R.M.Y: RULES TO KNOW IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE FANDOM

As you may have noticed, BTS are now having a huge time in America and a great impact in te world’s music industry. That has brought to them a big bunch of new stans. The A.R.M.Y family is growing huge, and if you are new to the fandom of course all of your unnies and oppas will welcome you with a smile. BUT there exist a bunch of rules and behaviors us, A.R.M.Y, need to follow if we want to keep up with the tag of «most loyal fandom» and the peace, order and good connivance.

Well, so let’s begin.

Rule #1: You WON’T start fights with other fandoms. Avoid fandom wars.

As you may notice, A.R.M.Ys have a delicate relationship with our EXO-Ls sisters. Most of us are tired of the ones in the fandoms that start fights. So PLEASE be careful with what you say. Praise all groups for their hard work. If you don’t come to like EXO or any other K-Pop group, you don’t have the right to express disapproval by insulting them or their fans. Be mature. Let’s show the K-Pop community that A.R.M.Y has grown up.

Rule #2: You WON’T call BTS kings or gods unironically.

BTS are a great group that has come too far by themselves. Yes, they tend to break stereotypes and be different, and yes, they may be one of the bests boybands out there. BUT that doesn’t make them any superior to other groups. What we want is to have a harmonious community, and avoid fandom wars. Fandom wars regularly begin when proud and egocentric stans call their groups the best in the industry. All groups are doing their best and have done their best. There is no king, no queen, no god or goddess of K-Pop. In a subjective point of view, BTS may be the bests for you, but just remember there exist variety of opinion in the community and you shouldn’t try to convince anyone of your own truth.

Rule #3: You are NOT going to compare the members.

BTS is a group that has been outstanding because of the unbelievably great relationship the members have, plus their humility and sincerity. They love each other as brothers and are a true example of brotherhood and team work. As well, us A.R.M.Y have to appreciate their hard work by equal. In this band, there is no rapper better than other, or singer better than other. They all have their talents and stand out for their own unique skills. I beg you to please don’t compare the members ever. Rule #3: Avoid talking about BTS everywhere. Some fandoms are tired of A.R.M.Y bringing up BTS in every topic. It’s not surprising since we are known for being loyal and passionate to our boys. However, this tends to tiren up other fandoms. Let’s say that right now the A.R.M.Y community doesn’t have a very honored title among the K-Pop stans because of that. Much of them hate the fandom and even hate our boys’ success because of the fandom itself. I know it sounds ridiculous. But let’s try to change it. If another group is in the highlights, let’s congratulate them and their fandom. Let’s not fall in haughtiness. Rule #4: Defend the boys. Up there I mentioned to avoid fandom wars. And yes, avoid them. BUT defend the boys in a good manner whenever you see someone insulting them or the fandom. If you are A.R.M.Y you’ll soon fall in love with the family, and as a strong family we protect each other. Actually, A.R.M.Y are known for being protective, so lets keep up on that. If you are having trouble defending the boys or the family to someone that is being missbehave and rude, call other A.R.M.Y to stand out in defence WITH GOOD MANNERS. Cease to fight with anyone who is being stubborn, better leave them in their own ignorance. Rule #5: STAN MUSIC, NOT JUST LOOKS.

BTS are a group well known for caring a lot more about their art than their visuals. If you want to be a true A.R.M.Y you should clearly listen to all their albums, the tracks they’ve developed outside the BigHit label, their mixes, read their translated lyrics, realize how poetic and beautiful their music is. If you gotta show off something about the boys, its their talent, trust me. Sure they are handsome and charismatic, but they are real for their music. Sure they may have called your attention at first glance because of their great looks, but know there is more about them than just pretty faces and expensive clothing. Rule #6: GET RID OF THE APPROPIATION SENSE. This is very important: your bias does not belong to you. It hasn’t happened yet, but if one of the boys ever decides to have a public relationship with whoever, you must not insult their partner or hate on them even if the jelousy is killing you. Realize how immature and ridiculous that is. Rule #7: Don’t take the ships too far. I know a lot of fans that get really obssessed with ships. It happens in every fandom. But please, remember that being too obvious about the ships can make the boys uncomfortable and also other stans. Don’t insult your fellow unnies and oppas if they happen to ship anything different from you. Don’t start ship wars in the fandom. Don’t make yourself any illusion that your ship may be canon, because by now we are not sure about the boys’ sexuality and we’ve only see their brotherly love side. They are adorable, I know, but don’t make yourself any wrong conception of what they really think about each other. Also, you will notice that in this fandom specially there is… hum… how can I say it… Poligamy? xD Kind of, there are tons of ships. Basically you can ship every member with every other member, even outside the group! You’ll find some crazy shippers, some multi-shippers (as me), and some rare species that only happen to ship one thing (I don’t have a clue of how they manage to stay loyal to their only ship omg). However, you can have fun with this, but just don’t take it to insanity. Please. Rule #8: Learn which kind of jokes may result offensive. I’m not going to lie, A.R.M.Y is a dope fandom. The best thing I love about this family is its humour sense. The jokes, the memes, the crack vids, its all fantastic. BUT as in everything, you need to know what is accepted and what is not. For example; don’t call Seokjin a princess. He doesn’t like being called that way, its disrespectful. Instead, why not call him a charming prince? or an egocentric bitch, I don’t know xD (Also realize that Seokjin is a very sarcastic person and he may seem arrogant if you can’t catch the joke, but he’s just very funny and his humour tends to be ironical. Just a little fact here) and also, don’t call Taehyung an alien. He doesn’t like that either, and I don’t want to talk to you about the scold you will receive from a V biased if they ever hear you call him an alien. I, myself, am an example of that. Don’t call him stupid or dumb either, he is not. Don’t call Yoongi lazy too often, if you do that sure there’ll be some Suga biased claiming to you he is not lazy at all (tho that may be a lie and we know it xD). Don’t EVER dare to say Namjoon or Hoseok are ugly. Ever. You’ll get hurt, trust me. I mean, I don’t even know why someone would joke about that, they are like the most beautiful creatures I’ve seen in my freaking life ???  I’ve been a long time on this fandom, and I think by now some very acceptable jokes that have always been funny are jokes about Jimin’s height and Jungkook’s bunny looks. However, these are jokes that the boys themselves started and tell, so we assume its correct if we use them. Whenever the boys end a joke, we stop making fun of it. Rule #9: Guide your new sisters and brothers into the fandom. Help people know well their new family. More important: get people interested in BTS! Show your friends the MV’s, tell them about the crazy theories and how charming and talented the boys are. As good A.R.M.Y our work is to help them gain recognition, and guiding new people to their concepts and music is a way to make it. 

Rule #10: Don’t be a koreaboo. We know Korea is a very interesting country and the mother of one of the greatest cultures, but a lot of people will find annoying and even racist if you get too obssessed with South Korean’s popular culture or Hallyu. I may have to admit that me myself was a koreaboo for a long time and have been sometimes. South Korea its fantastic and its media culture its very attractive, but know that there also exist other means of comsumption and markets around the world. Also, please, don’t create yourself a fetiche around asian people. That is racist. Control yourselves, fam. Don’t get me wrong; support the hallyu, but don’t take the obssession too far. Also, don’t trust the website named “koreaboo” because it’s bullshit. I think that’s it for now. Those are kind of the important points I think of. Thank you for reading this and please reblog! If you want to add anything please feel free to do it.

46, 48 and 51 for the JJBA meme? ( ´ ▽ ` )

46. Moment you wish never happened?

(Can I say “all the deaths”?... I guess not xD)

Probably Narancia’s death. As much as it hurts me, all of the principal cast’s deaths until that moment had served to advance the plot, but Narancia’s death felt kind of pointless. He just... died. That’s it. It felt a bit pointless. I tend to forget that he died sometimes xDD.

48. Moment you didn’t understand/were confused by?

The road roller scene, mainly because I first watched it without a context xDDD.

Once I started watching JoJo’s and I knew the context of the scene, I understood it (or maybe not, maybe I just let it slide since I had already watched 3 parts of JoJo and by that point I had kind of lost the ability to be confused about the stuff that you see in this series xD).

51. If you were in Jojo, which part would you want to be in?

It was tough to decide for one xdd, but I would like to be in Diamond Is Unbreakable. Mainly because I like to have a quiet life (*Killer Queen intensifies*) , and that part seems like the most appropiate one for that. 

I was going to say I would like to be in part 5 because I love Italy, but then I remembered that I would have to be part of Passione so... I think prefer to be in part 4 xdd.

Extra Typology Vol #2 - 8. Bouncing around the Enneagram, or, the Type Energies in daily life

Dynamicism

As with all typology first here comes the statement that we’re usually not aware just how much we act “within” our home type (particularly when we’re not making an effort to petrend) & the danger to assume everyone is or should be like that / misunderstand that others may want different things. 

Also, the dangers of “when all you have is a hammer” approach even in well-adjusted individuals - & recommendation to observe type patterns in yourself to be more self-aware, have more compassion for others & vary your reactions more to be situation-appropiate. 

You can access the other “modes” as we all have all “energies”, & might in fact wildly bounce around between them situationally throughout your day, but while your home type feeds/replenishes you with the others you can run out of energy & tire yourself out/frustrate yourself - nonetheless, a lot of people aren’t true to themselves because of society (duh; But I wouldn’t say that started with the modern age, at all, if anything its becoming better) & may prolongedly act “out of type” because of their own insecurities or job requirements. 

Also, it is said that when we do the other “modes” we still do them through the lens & perspective of our “home�� type (I wish they’d elaborated)

Another thing they went into is stress reactions, (usually Mars or Lunar) though I didn’t think it makes sense to equate universal regression or defensiveness coping respones with whole other types; Though they probably felt it fit into, and kinda overdid their “situational reactions/energies” construct; I did not buy it especially as the other book didnt have such a thing. 

Integration Lines

As with the 9gram, there is a progression of “integration lines” alongside the enneagram symbol itself, as well as characteristics that they recomend we acquite to be more grounded, this time along the circle, though the lines, aside from the primary triangle, tell us where the types are on the symbol. 

The triangle itself supposedly doesn’t represent types, but instead “karmic forces” that affect us all. For all fans of symbolism: 9 represents the completion of cicles and unity, 3 the conservative force of stasis and preservation and the personal microcosm, and 6 represents the principle of change and movevent as well as the collective/non-personal. 

Either way, it goes like this:

1 (Lunar) ---> 2 (Venus)  (learns self care & emotional responsibility)

2 (Venus) ---> 4 (Mercury) (speeds up thinking, learns to complete tasks by themselves)

4 (Mercury) ---> 5 (Saturn) (gaining depht & comitment)

5 (Saturn) ---> 7 (Mars) (getting out of the headspace & into action)

7 (Mars) ---> 8 (Jupiter) (focus on benevolence)

8 (Jupiter) ---> 1 (Lunar) (playfulness, limits on responsibility, tolerance for solitude )

For the hybrid types, it’s suggested that they ‘finish’ the motion toward the more ‘advanced’ type and also try acessing the next ‘full’ type, ie, a Venus-Mercury should cultivate some Saturn-y skills. 

What you see here is that there’s not much overlap with the 9 type system, 2 and Venus might be sliiiightly comparable but for example 4 and Mercury couldn’t be more different & they seem to be measuring different things altogether. BTW, the systems that add Solar give it the number Zero & place it in the center of the circle, although it can also be treated as exiting the circle sucessfully or a “continuation” on Jupiter. 

The author would also describe this as a continuous progression, that is, every type starts the journey with their “home” type as starting point, acquiring all the life lessons along the way. 

A little aside for Symbolism fans:  

At this point the book has a little explanation for the enneagram symbol itself & what it supposedly represents, arguing that it’s made up of 3 components:

- The circle - represents unity

-The triangle - represents duality/ trinity not just in the christian sense but universally as in “Yes/No/Neither”, “man/woman/child” etc. 

- The remaining six pointed figure - represents transformation

I’ve seen one 9gram publication interpreting the gap at the bottom as being the “void” or darkness, the counterpart to the completion found at 9 & using it to explain why us 5w4 and 4w5s are so damn emo, while others place the supposed gap between intuition or rational though there; I’ve also seen some relate the “bottom” but that’s a lil inconsistent, for if they were sorted by level of energetic-ness, 3 or 7 ought to be at the top, instead 9 is there and 3 is right next to 4 XD

Of course, in the context of the 12gram/ essence types, the gap at the bottom instead represents ‘The Divide’ (and by now you can probably imagine that the author takes it seriously enough to consistently capitalize it) between the personal and non-personal types, that is, the individual & the collective. 

The symbolic  Progression of the types

The types/modes described here are heavily based on basic archetypes, as reflected in the deity-names, as such the author has a lot of fun relatic the basic archetypes to all kinds of everyday ‘progressions’  (I’d argue that this is applicability not objective truth, as with most symbolism things)

The Energies as your Day: 

Lunar - dreaming, waking up

Venus - chosing what to wear, chatting with your family

Mercury - getting ready for the day, preparing to get to work

(a lot of people stop here)

Saturn - thinking about the world while reading the morning newspaper, deciding what to do

Mars - laboring hard to make your goals happen

Jupiter - chilling out with your friends after work, spending your money on yourself & others

As ‘awakening’/maturing/gaining awareness: 

(or the ‘progression of the soul’ if you believe in reincarnation & such, but can also be personal maturation)

Lunar - being inexperienced in your surroundings, existing in your own niche

Venus - becoming comfortable in your surroundings, how to life skills

Mercury - awakening to the larger world, looking to archieve in it

Saturn - stopping to think & understand the reasons & mechanics of the larger world/system, greater awareness

Mars - taking action based on that understanding, making changes within the system

Jupiter - using the results of those actions for good, enjoying the rewards

According to the various additions to the System you could add Earth/Ceres between Mercury & Saturn (not the same as a mercury-saturn hybrid tho), a grounded practical person that knows ho to navigate their personal surroundings, and the Solar after Jupiter (someone who has completed the cycle & doesn’t really fit into this world anymore, being only here to radiate their light, or just reaching the state of believing in one’s new ideals); Some iterations also add about 3 other types “after” Solar representing highly exceptional lifetimes or an understanding from seeing beyond/above the system, kind of more modern archetypes

The types can also be assigned further distinctios:

‘Ages’

Child/Younger: Lunar (”dreamer”) and Mercury (”trickster/mischief”)

Adult/Earth: Venus and Mars (best suited for the current world)

Elders/Parental: Saturn (the ‘Lord/Lady’) and Jupiter (the giving, jolly old man/ “mother earth”) 

Makes sense in terms of archetypes or individual differences (some ppl feeling like they are ‘old souls’ or ‘young at heart’), though I’d be wary of making ‘better than’ statements out of it

‘Classifications’

                              thinking     feeling     doing

personal                Lunar        Venus      Mercury

non-personal        Saturn       Jupiter      Mars

NEW HOLDER SPOILERS AND OPINION.

There we go. Mylène as Rat and Jules as Tiger, a thing we all knew. I have some things to say.

Overall: it seems they're experimenting more with designs. Queen B, Rena, Ryūko and Ladybug were all so plain compared to the boys. These ones at least have more interesting patterns and even clothes.

Multimouse (does she have the same name as, you know, Multimouse???) looks fine. Her hoodie looks so fucking cute. Her mask too. And her costume seems interesting! She has a jacket. I can't see if her tail is part of the costume (which I hope so) or just the rope, tho. The only thing I'm wary of is her hair. Idk if I like her having pink hair lmao. And I don't even like her civilian hair because it's appropiative. Other than that (if I ever draw her I'll definitely change her hair) Multimouse's design might become one of my favorites if they don't fucking change her body type.

Vesperia. I know we've known her for a lot of time but I never gave an opinion on her. Well, I hate the color yellow, it's my least favorite color. I'm biased. Vesperia's design is fine, it has an interesting color pattern, but it looks kinda... eh. Her braid is cute, but the black parts sometimes look weird, I think they'd be better if they had less hair, to mimic antennaes. I don't like her mask and I think it's a big problem with ther design. It makes her look so weird for me haha. Her costume is fine, I just thing it's too dark compared to Queen B, and it makes her look like a wasp instead of, you know, A BEE.

I want a Rena redesign. No changes other than keeping her skin color consistant and not whitewashed, AND keeping her body type.

Tigresse Pourpre... I was thinking of something else tbh. I think the design is too gray when it should be, for me, entirely purple. Her stripes are weird too, they don't look like what a tiger would have (similar to how Vesperia's don't look like bee's!!!!). Her hair is fine ig, I just find it funny most people had already chosen a ponytail for Tiger Juleka. Her mask looks ok, but I personally think that grey color does not go with the red-purple they chose. They just clash a lot. Her hand has something, looks like claws?? I love it. Overall, I think my main problem is that grey color they chose, I don't like it with purple.

Pigella was already here, I know, but I didn't really talk about her. I don't really like her, I hate how her blonde changes (a nitpick I know). Her costume is nice and a breath of fresh air after S2-S3 girls. But it doesn't look like a pig at all and I hate it. It's so weird dhjdjdksw. Why are there no ears, no tail??? If someone not familiar with Miraculous looked at her, chances are they wouldn't know she's supposed to be the Pig hero. I think her padding is weird, it looks too harsh compared with her ballerina theme. I'd personally prefer a fairy theme, princess theme or angel theme for her, btw. Rose just gives me Barbie vibes.

I'm starting to think it's weird how many times the show LB's ass in promotional pictures xd. You all know what I think of her design. They didn't change her hair (everyone here has it changed) and she has a plain spotted costume (almost everyone here has more original things). She should have her upgraded costume always tbh, it's a big improvement (although I don't get why her hair gets bigger, is it a Brid/PV!Mari reference?).

Overall, S4 girl designs seem to be getting better. There's a big difference between Ryūko or LB and Pigella or new Multimouse. At least they're doing something else this time. But this makes me salty considering they won't change S2 and S3 girls into something better. Kagami and Marinette deserve something better. Literally everyone got their hair changed and theirs are just the same as their civilian hair. Their costumes are so plain and uninspired. And, well, we have whatever happened to Rena Rouge's body, which is something they won't address and I hate it 😭. Mari, Kagami and Alya deserve better hero forms.

Kanaru Abe Presents: Kraken Dorky Times

I want to introduce you the band who stole my heart very recently. Though on the saddest and unluckiest possible circunstances. (Elkin TwT) I already posted some songs of them here and I filled my instagram with their songs.

Banner: “ice cream time”. Quito, Equador, 2015

“Elkin just loves Luis’ hair XD”. from the recording of La Barca de Los Locos video, 2013 year. Bogotá, Colombia.

“Elkin Ramírez and cholado caleño” (a sort of ice cream with fruits and waffer cookies who is very popular in Southwest from Colombia). Cali, Colombia, March 2015. It’s one of my favourite photos of Elkin! <3

Backstage from a live in Medellín, Colombia, 2014

“omfg Elkin has a Grumpy cat shirt lololol”. from a conmemorative event in honor to Kraken 30 years of existence in a bar named Valhala Rock Bar, in Medellín, Colombia. 2014/early2015. He used to go there often in early 2000s.

Could not identify the live. Was posted in December 1st 2013 and it seemed to be taken in Bogotá, Colombia.

Elkin loved to hug his bandmates, and here he hugs bassist Luis, who is also a Ramírez but they aren’t family. That’s why I call them “W-Ramírez (Double Ramírez)”. From La Fortaleza del Titán live in the Orquideorama from Botanic Garden from Medellín, Colombia, December 18th 2013. There’s a DVD of this show, and some songs of that DVD are on YouTube!

“LuchoKing” XD. The photo is from a live in México, in 2013 year.

Andrés Leyva (lead guitar) and Julián Puerto (drums) eating Mexican food in 2013 year as well.

“Funny poses time”,  from the recording of La Barca de Los Locos video, 2013 year. Bogotá, Colombia. From what I know, this pose was based on Jesuschrist Superstar, but I don’t know the scene.

Kraken is one of legendary bands of Latin American rock/metal, and it’s probably THE legendary rock band of my homecountry, Colombia. So you can have an idea, Kraken is for us Colombians what Sepultura is for Brazilians, Rata Blanca is for Argentina, or if we don’t limit to Latin America, we can talk about Mägo de Oz and Warcry for Spain.

For you having the idea of how badass this band is, they had to endure a lot of line-up changes, the indifference of mainstream media, issues with CD distributions, conservatism and hyperreligiousity of Colombian society, and the only reason this band did not disband is because of the stubborness and dedication of its only remaining original member, singer and leader: Elkin Ramírez, nickamed “Titan” for the fans, and praised for his clean, powerful and high-ranged voice, as well for his amazing management of public, his energy, his humbleness and his sincere sweetness with fans. For him, Kraken was his life project. That’s how with a lot of hard work Kraken stayed over 30 years in active.

I understand that maybe you do not know this band, probably because how hard is for Colombian rock to compete with international bands, even among Colombians themselves. I’m the living proof of it: I always put my eyes on European and Japanese music, and this did not really changed, but Kraken just caused me an amazing effect on me. So you can have an idea of how much Kraken just trolled my brain, they just dethroned Mägo de Oz as my favourite Spanish Language speaking rock band. For worsen things, the voice of Elkin, on the very moment I listened it by very first time, it skyrocketted for my top5 of favourite voices in rock and metal.

But it’s not just the awesomeness of Elkin. Each line-up of Kraken had given a sound and had been with years able of keep the quality of performances. But I admit I have, as a new fan, some cherising of their 2009 onwards line-up. It’s the Kraken I did know and I am familiar.

Leyva and Wolff (this one, linked to Kraken since so many years first as the director of the design of artwork of the albums of Kraken, before of also becoming a guitarrist for the band) do a good job on guitars, though Leyva is mostly known due his solos. He also has a lot of fans among women due his looks. Luis, the guy who lasted the longest with the band apart of Elkin himself, is easily among my favourite bassists, due his technique and his coolness: He is totally an extrovert. Rubén Gélvez is an extremely skilled keyboardist, and when he is with keytars in live he is very energic. Puerto, the drummer, does very well his job, despite he was the last one on enter on the band.

Sadly, Elkin passed away in January 29th 2017 as result of a tumour on his brain who was diagnosed in July 2015. Despite he went onto surgery and treatment and thanks to it he was able of record the vocals of Kraken VI: Sobre Esta Tierra (what a good album), he had a relapse in December 2016, and the tumour at that stage, by early January 2017, was considered untreatable. Actually the band stays active, with the administrative labour being managed by Andrés Ramírez, theater actor and Elkin’s son. Because he is not a musician, he only does administrative labour and decision-making, but does not perform. Actually the band has no singer, and the remaining members had performed with guests singers in tribute shows. Elkin is considered “irreplaceable”

I know I will never be able of meet Elkin and tell him “thank you”. I will never be able of feeling his embrace and his kind attitude I could see he had with his fans in all the videos and photos I found. Because I began to listen them, for real, very late. It’s not the most appropiate time for it. Because the day my teacher of German Language referenced them was only few days before Elkin’s passing.

Still, despite I am so n00b, I wanna also help to keep that legacy. Elkin used to say that what made big his band were the love of the fans, that Kraken is not him at all. He also used to feel very happy that despite they only had two-three radio hits from over 70 songs written, the fans in the shows would sing all the songs as if all they were “number one”. I suspect he was the first one who would be happy of that his band trascended him. That’s the true reason I decided to spend around 10 dollars for buying that album with the Philarmonic of Bogotá. I hope that if his soul is moving around with the wind, he can feel the happy of me despite of my unluckyness. And also, I wanted to remember him on his best, happy and having fun, and his mates also having fun. 

These photos I got them mostly from their official Facebook page.

If you like clean voices, and melodic instrumentations, you will love this band. Highly recommended.
