#it made me feel smol and precious

[chrome-barkz-aac]

i made this instagram post !!! there isn't as big of a community of AAC users on instagram so I thought I would share this on my instagram (@cytochromesea).

EDIT: i got an ask that states that not everyone knows what AAC is which is an oversight on my part, it stands for alternative and augmentative communication!

Image ID:

A light blue background with a rainbow and a cloud and some stars. There is a blue border collie with wings holding an aac tablet that says I love you! Text reads: AAC etiquette. Do’s, Don’ts, and other stuff. By cytochrome sea.

The same background appears in every following slide. Text reads:

AAC is my voice! It is not a toy or accessory

Don’t touch my AAC without my permission

Don’t take my AAC away from me, for any reason (joke, punishment, etc)

Don’t press buttons randomly or flip through my communication cards without permission

How would you like it if I randomly poked you on the mouth and throat (or on your hands if you sign)? It would be unpleasant, so don’t do that to me

Some AAC users can speak sometimes. It is not your business why someone can or cannot talk

Don’t ask questions about why an AAC user cannot speak. 

Do let us communicate however is best for us in that moment

Don’t ask us if or when we will be able to speak verbally. It’s not your business 

Do not value verbal speech more highly than AAC. Any communication is good communication

Some of us never talk, either, and that’s ok! Those of us who can talk sometimes are not better than those of us who can’t. None of us owe you an explanation for our use of AAC.

Don’t look at my screen until I show you. It feels really invasive!

It feels like when someone is looking at your phone screen over your shoulder, so please don’t do this

This applies to low tech AAC as well, don’t look at someone’s cards or letter board until they show you

You have the dignity of forming your thoughts in your head before you say them, whereas my thoughts are all on display. Please afford me the same dignity that you get automatically.

Don’t shame someone for not being able to speak verbally. It makes us feel horrible

We are real people with thoughts and feelings. Please treat us with kindness. 

We are trying our best

Don’t shame someone if their device mispronounces a word. It’s quite literally out of our control.

Other Don’ts. Don’t

Don't Treat an AAC user as childish or stupid for not being able to speak. Our ability to speak does not define our worth

Don't Show frustration at the way someone communicates

Don't Make comments about how fast or slow we communicate

Also don’t…

don't Act surprised when we swear or talk about adult topics like sex, drugs, or violence. We are not pure uwu precious smol beans, we are normal fucking people

don't Assume what is “wrong” with us. There are about a hundred reasons for someone to use AAC and you probably aren’t the expert in any of them.

“OK, so what CAN i do?” im glad you asked! When interacting with an AAC user, DO…

Ask us how we prefer to communicate and support us as you are able

Assume that we are competent

Talk to us with the same respect, tone and vocabulary that you would for any one else

Give us money (this one is a joke)

Understand that AAC grammar isn’t perfect and we are doing our best

Is it rude if…

I can’t understand your device? Not rude! Misunderstandings happen all the time in any conversation, just be patient as you would normally. 

I want to complement your AAC? Not rude!

I ask to see your AAC and understand how it works? This isn’t rude if you are already talking about AAC, but don’t ask random strangers this. They don’t owe you an AAC tour. 

Thank you for listening! This post is for the community! If you are an AAC user, let me know if I missed something in the comments and I will pin it! I hope you are filled with peace and love and I hope something good happens to you today! End ID.

Oh my gods I am so unbelievably ecstatic to do so! thank you thank you thank you so much for asking!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I spent a while putting together a response!

1. This is David the blacksmith from The Blacksmith, which is the fantasy adventure graphic novel I am working on. (Comedy! Drama! Gay found family fighting capitalism!)

In this scene from the opening chapters, David is rescued from bandits and sees the sky for the first time in a long while:

2. David and his new mysterious warrior ally, Kuruk, have some disagreements about travel arrangements early on in their journey before they become friends (text is not verbatim but it captures the Vibe):

3. MAKE-A THE FELLAS TOUCH-A THE FACE!!!!

(I don't even know where in the story this takes place; I just know that I need these men to have a thousand reasons to tenderly touch each other's faces.)

4. This is actually probably from the second book. (The bedsheets don't work, but Kuruk finds the brace and David builds a backup!):

And finally, a few pics I have yet to make individual image descriptions for, outside of the detailed in-context descriptions they have in the published rough scripts of my graphic novel on AO3.

5. The very first time Kuruk's face is shown in the novel:

6. David enjoying the sun a couple weeks after his rescue:

7. That Awkward Moment when you stow away on a flying pirate ship and hide in a box, but it turns out that twink [otter] you saved from bandits last week had the same idea, even though he has zero combat training!

8. And That Extra Awkward Moment when you then get captured by the pirates and have to be rescued by said twink:

9. Oh! And one more concept art sketch in which I just think David just looks so soft and wonderful and loveable and also he has his earrings in:

yeah

also pls share ur art of characters w big/hooked/crooked noses in the tags i heart them so much

Today it just hit me square in the chest why I Looove!!! that ‘baby’ is TK’s primary pet name for Carlos and Carlos’ one for TK is ‘babe��🥹🥹

TK calling Carlos ‘baby’ is just so precious bc TK is the ‘smol’ one🥹 and Carlos is the one who tries to be strong for everybody else, even himself, who struggles to be vulnerable with everybody except TK. Who feels shame about his own softness and vulnerability. Who has found that with TK he can let himself be vulnerable, and held in strong arms, and cared for🥺 and TK, by calling Carlos ‘baby’ is speaking directly into that. Is showing that TK clocks this side of Carlos and that this side of him is who TK associates him with, who he cares for, who he is speaking affectionately to, who this term of endearment is directed at🥹

And there is such an air of ‘casual’ with the word ‘babe’. And considering the fact that Carlos spend so much time not thinking he was going to find someone he could love and be loved back by the way he is with TK, to the degree that he married a woman. Carlos, who is not casual about anything until he’s sure of it, calling TK ‘babe’ is something so special in it’s own way🥺🥹

[btw this quote: “"Baby?" he says, rolling the door open with a vague hope that he hasn't just addressed an intruder by his husband's pet name.” From Cig’s @carlos-in-glasses fic Deeper than Breath, Closer than Air is what made this hit me so hard and so it deserves the credit for it]

And for this reason, this post is also a

Fic Rec!!!✨✨

- everybody go read this amazing, soft, sexy, funny, silly, emotional coda for 5x03 !!!

[watchingblsnowandforever]

Hello!!!! =D

So. We Are ep 13. I don't how they do this, but they keep making every episode better than the last. At this rate, I'll not be able to survive episode 16.

Warning: long post 😊😅 (there will be a smol part 2 because 30 screenshots are definitely not enough.)

We have the Best Parents in BL, but now I present to you: The Best Aunt in BL.

Subtle, Aunt Pui, real subtle. 😭

I get her. She just wants a nice, handsome boyfriend for her nephew. 😌

First of all, the symbolism is hitting me right in the face, but it's also so subtle because no one else knows the whole story, so they wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Secondly. Yes, the red and blue do clash a bit, and it's not the prettiest little painting. But. Not every painting has to be "pretty" or perfect. Just like feelings or emotions in real life. Peem didn't willingly draw over his precious painting because he thought it'd look better; he did it because he wanted it to express his feelings. This also ties into Peem's insecurity at having (apparently) failed at being Phum's comfort zone because see, in the painting it looks like the sea is embracing the roses, or protecting them.

What I'm trying to say, is that what makes art beautiful is not just what you directly see on the canvas/right in front of you. And this applies even to the "pretty" ones. The David is not just famous because it looks very good, but also because of the amount of skill and talent Michelangelo had to be able to create such a thing from a block of marble. (I'm sorry I'm not good at examples or analogies 😭)

Sir. What business do you have, making an expression like that and giving me a heart attack.

If I haven't said this before: find a man who looks at you like Phum (Pond) looks at Peem (Phuwin).

Two sides of the same coin.

Phum still feels guilty (which is very clear from his reaction to what Peem says) about ruining Peem's painting, so he wants to do something to make sure nothing like that ever happens to Peem again.

Peem is long over it (you don't ever forget shit like that, but he has definitely forgiven Phum). He met Phum because of that Incident™, and he has a new, upgraded painting, so this is just a light joke for him. But the moment he sees it's too soon for Phum, he immediately goes to reassure him he's just kidding, and he absolutely does not hold it over Phum.

A simple pinky promise, but how much does it mean to Phum?

He's never had someone to make a pinky promise with; Fang was in a similar situation as him, and Beer knew better to make a promise and have it broken by forces outside his control.

So this, this small, childish gesture means quite a bit to him. (Which is also probably why having broken it hurt him so much.)

And yet Peem, you're smiling so wide while saying that. Almost like *le gasp* you actually like it!

Let's be real here, Peem. You don't mind at all. In fact, you sounded unbearably fond saying this. You were quite literally giggling and kicking your feet. (Which fits my headcanon of him pretty well actually.)

This shot. Just >>>> (actually thinking of making it my header-)

Ma boy never misses a chance 😭👍🏼

And if he doen't get a chance, he makes one and nails that too. <3

SO CUTEE 🥺🫶🏼

Oh the teasing is on.

Pun: I did that 😌

Beer: Idiots in love. Again. *exasperated sigh*

[From this point on, I am extremely sleep deprived, so most comments made will probably (definitely) be forgotten by the time I wake up (I'm going right to sleep after posting this.]

Well, Chain, I'm sorry to be the one telling you this, but Phum moved into Peem's heart like 6 episodes ago.

Well, yeah, but Peem has to act at least a little bit like the tsundere he is, right?

Chain: "Well, can a cupid shoot an arrow at himself?"

Toey: *very telling side-eye*

Q: You really think one flirty line will trigger his half braincell to understand what he didn't in the past however many years? ...go on, I wanna see how this turns out

Pun: *pikachu meme face*

Beer: Oh damn here goes another one, we must be nearing the last episode

Phum: ????

Peem: Don't say anything don't say anything DON'T SAY ANYTHING DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING SAY A SINGLE WORD- (internally: Idiots. They're idiots.)

Ah, I love the sibling energy here. Also, initially I was like nah you're more like Tan. But then I gave it some thought. And had a Realization: he really is the Fang in their relationship, and Q really is the Tan. (I do not have the brainpower to explain rn, but tell me if you want me too, I'll include it in Part 2.)

Phum can't wait. (And neither can Peem, because I didn't see ya denying anything, babe. Instead, you gave him the softest shoulder bump in the history of soft shoulder bumps and that bigass (smitten) smile.

Oh boy this scene.

Right before this, when Peem called Phum immediately after the last brushstroke, I was smiling so hard and giggling like yesss do boyfriend-y things with each other!

Him waiting on the porch: still big smile. Here comes Phum! Ooh are they gonna flirt in the car??

My smile started dimming as the seconds ticked by and no Phum appeared on screen.

Until I finally realized what was happening.

I almost stopped breathing.

And as the scene went on my heart broke a little more with every text and every call, and I was watching that mall scene again. Except it was much much worse this time.

So long story short, I was heartbroken for both of them. Especially when Peem showed up alone with the saddest lost-kitten face ever.

But, at this point I knew Phum must have had something really urgent/unaviodable to miss his meeting with Peem because 1. He really really loves that boy and 2. He was very much looking forward to doing this with Peem.

Unfortunately, I will have to end Part 1 here (please don't kill me), and I'm loathe to end on a sad note, but I promise the next part will be much happier. It will hopefully be posted a little later today.

If you got this far, thank you so much for reading! 😊

Here, have a pudding 🍮

Going thru solas regrets and immediately after the one about the titans I run to Harding’s greenhouse to check if she’s ok after learning all the hurt to the dwarven people solas was responsible for and I run and see her in her little patch of soil, gently sipping a cup of coffee and staring off with a vacant look in her eyes, no conversations is available with her but do you know what she idly says to me?

“I hope neve is alright, minrathous blighted… I can’t even imagine.”

Jdnrjxjejcejfjrjfjudjdjcufjrjfidmjdjxjfndjcjejdnhdbdjxndndjdndjjenxjdndkxndnxjdndnxnbddbhxnddjj >////<

Girl you are too kind and sweet and good for this world, I need to scoop you up and squish you so hard into a hug for 100000 years until all your pain and self sacrificing for others goes away, girl pls </333 😭😭😭

I hope she doesn’t feel like she’s responsible somehow, just cuz the blight originates from the titan’s severed dreams, if she feels like the dwarves are somehow responsible for it or that her connection to a titan has somehow made her a liability or threat to the veilguard. That sounds exactly like lace but aaaaaaaaaaaaaa girl you are too smol and precious to deal with this much, hugs and kisses for eternity and we’re getting you all the soil patches and indoor tents you want and we’re ripping solas’ stupid bald head off his shoulders for ever making you feel this way </3333

Schnee's video "The Deeper Meaning of Loser Baby" is by far the BEST Hazbin Hotel analysis I've ever seen. Literally. Perfectly pointed, edited and EXTREMELY empathetic. Like. For real. It clearly shows how media literate and sympathetic the author is. He analysed Angel's behaviour, his trauma, how realistic it is, how well written Angel and his whole arc is, analysed why and how Husk was able to help Angel when Charlie wasn't... omg, it's so much better than any anti bullshit trying to explain why "Angel is a bad victim actually, hypersexual and unperfect? Nhaaa you're unvalid actually yeah sorry" to validate their own hate boner against Viv. Seriously, what a fucking perfect video. I recommend anyone of watching it, even haters, so they can see how blind and ignorant they truly are.

Thanks for sharing!

I did really like how non-judgmental Schnee's video was. I do occasionally watch videos made by Hazbin haters - because I want to give the other side a fair hearing, and expose myself to different views so I'm not just in an echo chamber - and one of the things I'm struck by is how many of them drift away from talking about the cartoon to pass judgement on the fans. "I don't understand how anyone can like these characters!" "Y'all have been gaslit into thinking this is good writing!" "Everyone has such bad takes, as evidenced by this single comment that only one person said which I'm now going to rant about!" That sort of thing.

Schnee's video was different. It didn't poke fun at the fans of the cartoon (probably because it was made by a fan). It instead kept its focus on the story - what Angel goes through, and how impactful that is, and how Angel's arc fits into the wider themes of Hazbin Hotel. And the whole thing was really well-scripted and well-edited.

Another thing I liked about Schnee's video was the fact that it wasn't laser-focused on Angel's character flaws, which it seems a lot of anti-Angel videos are. They focus too much on how he was harassing Husk in the earlier episodes, and don't acknowledge the fact that he changed and stopped doing that in the later episodes.

I even saw one video that was criticising the Huskerdust ship saying, "Be mad at me for saying this all you want, but I'm sorry, does Angel even really deserve Husk at this point?" When I heard that, my jaw dropped. What do you mean, Angel doesn't deserve Husk? Yes, he has a bad coping mechanism that hurts others, but does that really make him totally unworthy of love? Can he not be loved as he is and then helped to change?

And what does that say about Husk? That quote makes it sound like Husk is better than Angel and that Angel would drag him down, like Husk is some perfect precious uwu smol bean who needs to be protected from the big bad spider demon. My fellow human being, Husk is a former Overlord. He owned souls and gambled with them and didn't care until his own power was threatened. But I don't see anyone arguing that Husk doesn't deserve Angel because of that!

Why is Angel getting all this ire? Why is he the launcher of a thousand discourse posts and not, I don't know, Valentino, his abuser? That very same video also mentioned Staticmoth, and all it said about that ship was, "I just don't feel comfortable shipping a sex abuser with someone" - and that was it! Valentino has done so much worse than Angel, but he was quickly dismissed in that one comment, whereas Angel got three minutes in this video (plus multiple other videos by the same person) trashing him in an angry tone of voice with F-bombs aplenty! It's disproportionate!

(deep breath)

Wow, that was a doozy of a tangent!

That's the trouble with watching videos by Hazbin haters: you run the risk of hearing something that boils your blood. So it's really refreshing to find videos that aren't just criticising Angel endlessly, but treat his story with the respect such topics deserve.

I feel that not enough people recognise Angel's positive traits either. Such as his willingness to assist people even if they've hurt him in the past. Or his bravery in standing up for others. Angel's got a good heart deep down! It just takes a bit of work to help him show it.

How about law'si and neteyam? One day he lays on top of her and she cries her heart out and he's like: fuck, i forgot ur smol

Thank you!

ngl, I forgot I wrote that one. Went back to re-read it. But now I have a good idea for it! Hope you and everyone like it!

Law'si

-----------------------

Law'si: Same face, new changes.

A new day has begun for the metkayina people. As soon as the sun peaks its rays, people are out of their homes to start on their duties. After the battle against the humans, the na’vi were still healing, but everyone has moved on from the nightmare. They look on the brighter side of life rather than staying in the dark. 

And who could hold a better example than neteyam. After learning of the truth of his mate, there were many things to adjust but life has been the same. Almost as if her “death” never happened. 

Except, when he sees his mate’s true face he is reminded of reality. Neteyam loves his mate, his precious law’si, and is forever grateful. He sees it as a second chance in life, a life with her. And he be damn to lose this second chance.  

“Neteyam….?” law’si muttered, yawning a bit, waking up from her sleep. Neteyam snoozes on top of her, she sighs. She missed this, being cuddled and protected by neteyam even when they are asleep. But now, its different since she is back to her human body, body mass have now been an issue. 

“Neteyam please move a bit, I cant move a lot” Law’si squeaks meekly. Gently trying to push herself away from her husband. Forgot he can be a heavy sleeper at times. So slowly, gently, she moves her hips and drags herself just a bit away from Neteyam's heavy body. Things were so much easier when she had her avatar. 

Once she was fully out of neteyam’s body trap, she took a sigh of relief and began to make breakfast. It is still early so a nice fish grill will fill his stomach and heart. Humming to herself she begins to cook. 

Neteyam wakes up to the smell of something delicious. Opening his eyes, rubbing the sleep away, in the middle of his home was his cute mate. Humming to a familiar tune as she cooks. He doesn't make a lot of sound to tell her he is awake. Sitting in a cross legged position, neteyam watches her. Taking in all that she is. 

It has been weeks, but neteyam is still getting used to how small law’si is. Overall everything. From her body, her beautiful face, her height, everything. She is lighter than anything. Smaller than his baby sister. And the more he realizes how easily vulnerable law’si is to the world, the more he wants to protect her. From the world, and himself. 

Yes himself because he forgets at times just how damn short his mate is. 

Carefully, neteyam wraps his arms around law’si, she gasped a bit, feeling startled by the sudden hold. Looking up, law’si see's neteyams lazy smile. Letting a fit of giggles escape her lips, she gently strokes his cheek with her small hand. 

“Slept well?” She asks, her smile radiant as ever. 

“Mhm” Was neteyam's response as he buried his face at the back of her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Still holding her close but giving her enough space to stir the pot. This is something that hasn't changed, their morning routine. A piece of heaven in the form of comfortable silence. 

“Come on, eat up big guy, its ready” law’si says. Neteyam helps with setting the bowls. Looking down, neteyam placed back one bowl and grabbed a smaller one. A new bowl he personally made for law’si human size. One of many things he made for her. 

“Neytiri asked me to join her today. Says she has something for me-my love when are you looking up?” Law’si asks as she stares at neteyam who in return was looking at the open air. But quickly he looked down to meet her eyes. Smiling nervously, he replies “S-sorry, old habit of meeting you in the same eye level” . 

Law’si giggled a bit, she understands. “It is alright my love. I am trying to handle everyday things when some items have become too big or too heavy. But that won't stop us from doing our best”. 

Nodding, neteyam resumes eating. 

Night arrived and it was time to settle for another blissful sleep. Law’si was setting up their hammock while tip-toeing around. Neteyam couldn't help but find it cute. He insisted to help but was kindly denied ‘I can do it’ as law’si says. A lot. 

“There, all set” she announces proudly. Neteyam joins her. He was in the process of having her under him like usual but law’si rolls a bit to the side. He looks at her confused. “How about I sleep at your side? It has gotten harder to sleep with you on top of me” Law’si says. Pouting a bit, neteyam agrees and she gets in a more comfy position next to him. They both drift off to sleep, letting their dreams take over. 

Until neteyam subconsciously rolled on top of law’si. Again. Mentally he knows law’si is small again. But his instincts and old habits haven't. 

Aaaaaaaaaaand that is it for this one! A cute fluffy fic! Until next time! see ya!

[neopuppy]

super agree with johnny being sooo sooo soooo good irl i still remember taking a moment (it was several days) thinking about him from the link like girl!!! sorry to hc (my og) but jhn is just a MAN you feel? nobody like him in kpop too ngl idk how there are nct fans who sleep on his looks and charm lol

also so true that jaemin is a real gorgina hes so stunning irl like seeing him up on the concert jumbotrons is crazy as if a filter is on him always but up in front of you wow like people joke about him being a princess but fr he does!! haha (and idk i think its kinda interesting? that he takes care of himself to that extent)

im curious though how do you find jeno irl i personally find him so frickin adorable since he just has silly stage antics that happen in a blink (like you gotta follow him sometimes even though hes not performing/at center stage) its so endearing though i do think his stage presence is pretty good too i look forward to watching him move (although 1 step after haechan haha) i do feel hes quite small though like smol but i do feel the boys from dream all kinda are(?) no hate i love my man even though i know aint 5'10

that one tweet that said ‘I hate how Johnny Omegafies every man.’ or whatever. just saw this video and thought…..damn Jaehyun is tiny😭😭😭😭

yeah like you know the on-going joke all ‘I went to Korea and no one looks like Jungkook!!’ I mean, they do now. he started a revolution out there lmaockeodo but some tattoos piercing and a bowl cut wont change the face….still NO ONE LOOKS LIKE JOHNNY. like no, they are not touching him. man, Johnny was meant for America fr💔💔

Jaemin is truly man pretty, he looks like a doll that made a wish to be human. I hate to say he’s probably gay and not just extremely vain but also, could be a toss up. I don’t know him so I can only say how I’d perceive him as a man walking past me on the street, but he is really a 10, across the board. I now use Lanolin lips bc of him… and the fact that a MAN is the one who got me on some of the best lip balm I’ve used…says something. I take a lot of advice from gay men online so I’m definitely side-eyeing him, but its very is he gay…or just Korean😭

as for Jeno , I was just talking abt this before I went to sleep.

yes he is a very tiny and short guy. like I said 5’9 at best, and he LOOKS petite, like his frame. he’s all solid muscle but he’s not big/broad. other than that as I said its hard for me to look at him and not think the sun shines out of his ass bc not only is Jeno…who he is, and you know, you’ve read the fics, he’s also the nicest idol I have ever biased. THE nicest, he rly makes an effort to treat his fans/czennies like they are special, NCTZENS DO NOT DESERVE HIM!!!!!!

so yeah…..the sun does actually shine out of his ass bc I won’t say I have had bad experiences with any idols(I haven’t, they’re all working and hey work sucks sometimes), but you can tell some of them are happier to be there than others and Jeno is very much the happy employee that makes you day feel less shitty bc his energy is so good. I would grab the moon for him if I could. sometimes its hard for me to go back and get into a fictional ‘mean’ Jeno mindset bc he’s SOOOOOOO lovely and nice and sweet and adorable and needs all the love in the world returned for how precious he is.

BUT DONT GET ME WRONG!!!!!!! he is very sexy and a little scary, like yeah….seeing him irl solidified for me that I could never. I COULD NEVER!!!! he’s very much my comfort idol, I love him so much. I feel like Sunflowers and their boy mom ass behavior when it comes to Jeno, he can do no wrong in my eyes😭😭

Schnaul girly here :) looks like Schneider is even throwing him a little air kiss in the first gif 😍 that would have been THE opportunity for Paul to sneak a quick smooch (if he's quick enough) 😁 absolutely love this little moment. Schneider radiates so much joy. I would either melt or completely tense up if Paul were to give me a massage like that 🤣 he's just vibing. I love me some Paulchard, but as Schneider is my favourite, this is just a joy to see him get some love ❤️

Dear anon, dearest Schnaul girlie! ✨ Wherefore art thou incognito?

No, seriously, you guys gotta stop spoiling me! How am I supposed to go on with my responsibilities today when you all got me thinking and daydreaming about these two lovely dorks?

You know what? It totally does look like Schneider is making a kissy face at Paul! I have noticed it only after reblogging the gifs and it made me giggle and kick my feet like an idiot 🥹 And oh my god, yes, the way Schneider is just vibing, enjoying the attention from Paul while being so obviously comfortable with it and probably so used to it, is just precious. To me, they definitely look like an old married couple there (full delulu mode, sorry not sorry). It's like when one of the partners is doing their thing and the other is casually seeking out physical affection without really distracting them. Non-sexual intimacy my beloved 💔 Holy shit, Paul is such a touchy person. And the fact that Schneider basks in his affection is enough to make me feel like my heart is about to burst out of my chest.

Oh, and the boat riding. They should do it together so Paul could kick out everyone who tries to climb into their boat because Schneider seems to be too sweet to do that himself (◡‿◡✿) Let the smol chaotic one protect the big sunshine 🌈✨

[tarohonii]

i saw your post about jiwoo and his plot armour and ur so right!!! i love him as a character but that actually made me stop reading 💔💔 i’ll probably pick it up again at some point, but jiwoo actually needs to stop winning everything because it got wayyy too boring and repetitive and also super unrealistic bc wdym you’re beating the top people in the country or wtv is happening now

this is actually turning into a long rant sorry 😭😭 but it really dawned on me that it was a bit ridiculous when he ‘beat’ jurion because i get it could probably happen but it was sort of like… so everything just goes your way. exactly as planned. all the time. okay then where’s the conflict or excitement or any sort of cliffhanger or tension if i already know you’re going to win no matter what?? no matter who you’re fighting?? at this point he could probably fight kayden and win because he pulls out some fancy punch that caught him off guard and i wouldn’t be surprised

i also felt like i read about 200 episodes and he didn’t have any proper character development. i get he’s meant to be likeable but there weren’t really any proper flaws for him to develop, so while he starts as a sort of fresh character who’s nice yet powerful and a nice change from some others characters in the same genre he eventually becomes a bit flat?? it might have changed in recent chapters, but i feel like the writing let it down slightly

sorry to come into your inbox and just rant!! i thought i’d share a couple thoughts on it since apparently i have quite a few but it turned into this x

oh anon...u r so real for this. Come sit with me and be a nuanced hater.

I...do not really like Jiwoo. "But he's a precious bean! He's smol! Must protecc!" Yes, so true, you are so valid, but also consider he has the personality of a communion wafer and makes watching paint dry more interesting than reading his dialogue. He is perfect and it is unbearable-narrative wise. The main character propels the story-it is what the plot is centered around. So when the main character has nothing to give, neither does the plot. Someone go instill the hate of god in his heart or introduce him to twitter to something.

Also-the lack of proper development is SO REAL oh my god. He had one (1) revelation in the entire story, promptly after getting almost assassinated, and that was: "I want to get stronger for my friends!!" like...babygirl...that's what you've been doing this entire time..plz don't tell me it took you 100 something chapters to come to that conclusion.

This phenomenon is like-the doom of every korean action mawha. MC is OP, and has no discernable personality besides the like. 3 given traits given to them. No development, static plot, rinse, repeat. maybe the only exciting things that happens is a side character dies. It's like the webtoon equivalent of plug and chug math problems, so ig I got what I came for LOL

Also don't be sorry, feel free to come anytime and rant bestie!! I'll have tea and cookies for you next time you come around :)

A continuing thought to add to the previous ask of burgers and Soft!Kate that is essentially:

The adventures of Kate and MC: the quest for a burger

And that thought is Tanya would learn of this outing cause she sees Kate throwing up human food and is generally? Not having a time, but it was worth it. Why? Cause:

MC and Kate in a car (cause drive thru? Idk)

MC nomming on some fries from the bag

Kate seeing this(whilst driving): feed me a fry

MC does so cause clearly hands on the wheel.

Idk they eventually park to eat

MC seeing Kate not eating:didn't you say earlier that you were starving?

Kate:....yes (and proceeds to eat her burger, too)

MC? unaware, just happy to finally have her burger.

(Feel like kate would pull a: "you want to try a bite of mine?" As she asks for a bite of MC's as trade, idk)

So yeah, MC feeding her and sharing Food

Tanya would be so upset

-📚

The sisters demanding MC feed them all seductively (the things they put up with just to hopefully get some one day is as sad as it is admirable 😭) while MC is just there like "uh, yeah sure" because she doesn´t even realize it´s meant to be all sexy and seductive because well, she´d be starving too if she didn´t eat all day. Like, honestly-

What´s up with that?

She´s never actually seen them eat smt, aside from the times they, for some strange reason, demand to be fed by her. And, even then, they only ever eat smol pieces, making the funniest faces while they do so, only to disappear shortly after - to where? Fck does she know. She´s not sure she even wants to know.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss...

Still, she does find it strange that, after what feels like an eternity (still not enough, tbh), they come back, looking rather...worse for wear, it has to be said. She didn´t think it was possible for them to become even paler, but here we are.

What´s up with that?

However, I gotta say I think that's more Kate's thing. Putting herself in situations where MC has no other choice but to "tend" to her because she's got her hands full with other things. (Unfortunately, not the things she wishes her hands were filled with...life´s cruel).

Like, it doesn't have to be food, although I love the idea of Kate demanding to be fed a fry all sexily (in her mind). Kate continuously choosing to suffer in hopes it's gonna get her some form of PDA (in her mind) is just too accurate, lmao.

Tanya's...different.

As in: Woman is a coven leader.

Do I need to say more?

...

Listen-

Tanya doesn't beat around the bush - she doesn't need to. She's a leader. She has rights. When she's got her eyes on smt (more like someone), she won't hesitate to pursue it. She might not always outright state her intentions, but that's mainly because she doesn't believe there's a need for it. Hasn't she made herself clear enough? Hasn't she clearly shown her interest? (Not her fault if you're too charmingly dense to get it.)

Why would she need to resort to such...absurd methods to court you? She's a lead-

*witnesses MC feeding Kate a fry all seductively*

...

Also Tanya:

...Huh?

That's a perfectly normal way to eat, wdym-

.

.

.

Kate putting herself through torture just to get some tender loving is so precious though.

...Slightly manic and certainly self-destructive, but precious nonetheless. 😭

Thanks a lot for your ask! 💋

Horizon Ask Game

Oioioi, thanks for all the tags, @maybirdie, @meg-noel-art, @nerd-artist and @xxxhellfireravenxxx

1. ride or die ship (your otp): To no ones surprise, it's Ereloy, precisely as it reads on the can. They snatched my heart back in 2017 and haven't released it to this day.

2. most annoying ship: There are no annoying ships. Next question.

3. second favourite ship: Tough call. I'll go with Avad/Ersa, because they 100% had SOMETHING going on. Starcrossed lovers my beloved.

4. favourite platonic relationship: I'm living for the friendship between Alva and Kotallo. And Beta's line about Erend visiting her in the server room and being "loud...but funny". A kingdom for on-screen interactions between the two. Erend can be like "is free little sister". ;;

5. underrated ship: Drakka/Yarra. The raw enemies to lovers potential there...

6. overrated ship: I don't see anything overrated in a genuine outpouring of one's love for two fictional characters.

7. one thing i would change in canon: Now, after two main games and DLC? Oh, a fair bit. Varl's unnecessary death, even admitted to by the writers as being there for shock value. Shock over the drop in narrative quality post-HZD, maybe.

Same as reducing Erend to everyone's punching bag without a single thought behind his eyes. Fantastic how everyone easily picks up reading English while Erend struggles with it when he's canonically the only member (besides Aloy and Alva) who knows how to read at all. He's the one asking Aloy in HZD where she learned to read Glyphs, something unique to the Carja who reinvented written language based on a book, and the Oseram who got taught Carja Glyphs for trade, which eventually developed into their own alphabet (they get differentiated as "Carja Glyphs" and "(Oseram) Glyphs" in datapoints. Erend can read both. Two alphabets. That's more than many bilinguals)

But sure, he's the dumb dumb who can't read, not the companions that start completely illiterate.

8. something canon did right: All of HZD. What a masterful introduction to a new game franchise, and playing through it the first time unraveling all its mysteries is why I'm still here obsessed with the series.

9. a thing i'm proud of creating for the fandom: Probably the companion art piece for Love Games by my friend @maybirdie. It was incredible working with her as this beast of a fic came together and the friends that I made during that time are near and dear to my heart.

And of course, being on the artist team for the Horizon visual novel Focus On The Heart!

10. a character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing): Without a speck of doubt, Gildun. What a bundle of unbridled joy.

11. the character i relate to the most and why: Beta. We both have crippling anxiety, literally never go outside, and are unfortunately Very Smol™

12. character(-s) i hate the most and why: The worst I can feel about a character is indifference.

13. something i've learned from the fandom: After having been in a fandom that crashed and burned over a decade ago and coming out with a general aversion to fandom...at the end of the day, people from all trades of life coming together to enjoy and create for the same thing that they love with all their heart is a precious thing and we're all richer embracing each other's uniqueness in this gathering.

14. three tags i seek out on ao3: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Sensual Fingerblasting (wink-wonk)

15. a song i strongly associate with my otp/favourite character: Break In by Halestorm for Ereloy, and for favorite character (Erend) End Of Me by Ashes Remain

Tagging @emtazer, @imamandajulius, @souls-that-have-senses, @nmallenart, @bs-fangirl, @cranialgames

And everyone who sees this and would like to give a go~

Frodo herself is a ghostwise halfling rogue thief, just like Uncle Bilbo! Noble background.

Samwise Gamgee is a healing halfling paladin with an oath of devotion... to Frodo. He has the farmer background.

Meriadoc Brandybuck is a Strongheart halfling fighter, battle master as he turns out to be in the books. Also noble background.

Peregrin Took is a Lightfoot halfling bard, college of swords. My Pip is a bit different from source but Billy Boyd sang so beautifully in RotK it inspired me to pick bard. She's also noble.

Gandalf Gale. Human polymaath which is a mod class designed for centuries old vampires by the maker of Vampire Origin. I think it fits nicely for a maiar in disguise as a human wizard. I selected a range of spells that Gandalf uses, like firebolt, where I can. I gave him the guide background and gave him the canon beard and long hair, and Ian McKellen's twinkly blue eyes.

Aragorn Wyll. Human ranger hunter. I might multi class to paladin and/or fighter. Wyll is sort of Baldurian exiled royalty, and has an innate sense of goodness and justice that I feel Aragorn shares. I kept Wyll's darker skin and brown eye, just settling for changing his hair. When Mizora did her business, I just used debug to change him back.

Gimli Karlach. I made her smol. She's a halfling tiefling rather than a dwarf proper. She's still taller than the halflings so that fits nicely. And she's still a barbarian but I chose berserker rather than wild - I usually pick berserker anyway for Karlach tbh. They both love axes so weapons were an easy choice.

My Frodo (not-so) Challenge! I downloaded a load of halfling and LotR mods for classes and equipment before I started this run. If you see anything you want, ask and I'll see if I can remember which!

Legolas Astarion. The obvious choice. Blond hair and blue eyes and woosh we have Legolas. I decided on dual wielder class, but will probably multi class later too. I debated wood elf over high elf... But kept high elf in the end, improper as that is! Meh, I can change it later if I change my mind.

Boromir Lae'zel. I had Shadowheart originally but it was bugging me... Lae is a much better fit. Oath of Conquest paladin, will multi class to fighter later. Staunch belief in the rightness of their own society and structure, fanatical belief in their goddess/father's rule only for this to be stripped away and reversed on proof of the real, exiled, ruler being presented to them. Instead of dying at the end of Act 1, Lae will take on attributes of Faramir.

And finally, Smeagol Shadowheart. I made her a Kender way of shadow monk. She will specialise in unarmed combat but the shadow side was too good a fit for Smeagol/Gollum/Slinker/Stinker. I changed her eyes to blue and gave her corpse-pale skin. I'm still playing around with clothes... It does not seem quite right to have a bald mini-Shads toddling around in a loincloth. They both have a 'precious' that is more than it seems, and holds a dark secret. They both have memory issues. Shar is scarily similar to Sauron too, and Smeagol Shadowheart will have to choose between dark and light at the end of Act 2.

The no party limit mod actually does have a limit of 16. And we have Halsin, Jaheira and Minsc to pick up yet. Halsin reminds me of Beorn so that would be a throwback to the Hobbit I guess.

Jaheira is... Galadriel?

Minsc... Ahh I'm not sure. I can make Arwen, Eowyn and Eomer as Companions. Maybe Minsc can be King Theoden?! Wait. Would Boo be Wormtongue in that case?!

Request - Devlin brain rot now

Tw's - lots of bouncing around, Devlin lacking fatherly love cause he's a piece of sh-, Devlin being scared about Kerano's presents and nearly peeing his pants, phantom limb (?), Devlin crying cause Kerano is so sweet and precious

Genre - Random thoughts

Type - head canons

Random thoughts

- I like to think he does smol little doodles when he's bored or doesn't have any inspiration to do some inventing

- He is like, the perfect dad. We all can agree on that, but I feel like he wouldn't actually want kids after Kerano

- He's more or less work oriented, and likes to focus on his work, and small toddlers and such would add a lot of stress.

- Going off of the true ending, he more than likely works in a shop or something making bots, or runs a shot due to him being a previous forge master.

- So he makes a pretty decent living on that alone.

- I like to imagine he made his own arm prosthetic before he was deemed a forge master but the holy GBA probably has his own explanation on the arm (if so let me know cause I'm very curious about that 🙏🙏)

- Devlin is so proud of Albus for fighting against the souls that possess the sword that then possessed Albus 🤧🤧

- Did Devlin experience phantom limb when he first became a forge master?? Cause he can technically "touch" things, but it's not his flesh and bone arm, now it's this robotic arm instead

- Are there touch sensors or something in the arm? Has he modified it at all to fit his needs? Is he given permission to modify his arm?

- Dream world✨ Devlin commissioned Faithful to make some paintings for his tavern. It was feeling bare and he had connections to a painter he cared for

- His father didn't praise him enough when he was little, Paladin Knight York probably wanted Devlin to be a knight like him but Devlin is too brainy for such brutal work

- So like, there was a gap between him and his father while growing up, so he tried making up for it with the ship and such

- And any praise he gets from you he treasures very dearly, as well as Albus but he won't admit it

- Kerano is his pride and joy

- He almost went into cardiac arrest when Kerano called him dad the first time instead of "Mr. Devlin"

- I don't know if there's Christmas but if there is (I'm feeling festive shhhh) he spends a whole month thinking of what Kerano could want, and how to make her first Christmas with him (or first Christmas altogether) very special and full of smiles, true ending duh

- Listen, listen, he almost pissed himself when Kerano opened her first present out for fear that she wouldn't like it

- He's genuinely concerned whenever Albus says.. things while he fights the creatures during the journey to the core

- He silently listens to Faithful teaching Albus how to read and write, and he thanks you for it cause it shows how much you genuinely care about his brother, never comments on you trying to teach him out of fear Albus would stop trying to learn

- Would be very proud if there was a day Albus could just write his name, probably being a tear to his eyes

Notes - I love Devlin, I swear, but Albus will always be my favorite <333

Fallout 4 Companions as Miis

I attempted to transform the companions into Mii characters. I did by best to make sure they all looked different while making sure to stay as true to their original designs as much as possible.

Let me know what you think.

MacCready: I really love his face, the little squiggly smile I gave him is adorable for some reason. Little rat guy, precious.

Piper: The first time I made her she looked too timid and generic. So I made sure to put some more reporters determination in her face during the second try.

Deacon: Smooth spy egg who was the easiest and fastest. If you remove the glasses he looks like One Punch Man lol.

Danse: His mouth would not cooperate with me. It kept moving in the two photos until I made one higher than the other between screenshots.

X6-88: I tried to make him as intimidating as possible, and I think I got it pretty good. Imagine boxing against him in Wii sports or putting him up against the famous Matt.

Curie: I wanted to give her bright eyes filled with optimism and a huge smile cause she’s happy to see you. :)

Cait: Honestly, I really like her hair here I feel like it fits her perfectly. She has a little smirk and a happier look because I’m tired of her being angry all the time. Let the woman have some peace!!!

Preston: I wanted to make him look very friendly but at the same time if I tweaked his mouth and eyebrows he could have a mean face for fighting raiders.

Old Longfellow: All the hair they had felt too young and crisp. He’s a crusty shaggy old man, I tried my best with what I had.

Gage: I am not a Gage person at all, I barely travel with him and he gets killed every playthrough. But I still tried my best cause I know some people like him. He’s wearing orange because it’s a prison uniform.

Jasmine: I made her so smol and squishable! She’s so freaking cute! LOOK AT HER LITTLE FACE!!! I just wanna scoop her up and swing her around but she’ll probably maul me if I do.

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

https://www.tumblr.com/struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor/731351941129666560/jimin-is-so-fucking-pretty-hes-such-a-model?source=share&ref=faeinthecloud1

so true bro he's so god damn pretty it's unbelievable. Hrs other wordley beautiful like no one's like him. He's got that androgynous Beauty which no one can carry like him. I can cry over his beauty he's that beautiful. Infact these words are not even enough to do justice to his beauty there needs to be other words discovered especially used only for him.

He doesn not come under the category of your regular usual handsome men he is different. For me taehyung and jin are like the handsome men which we see in lot of celebrities but jimin goes above and beyond for me. This is not my bias opinion like no one has ever made me feel the way his beauty makes me wanna write some poems about him and he's not even my crush like for me he's my baby boo so I'm not attracted to him like that but even i can't help it. He's that god damn beautiful.

Lmao, this post, haha. I get it. His beauty is literally indescribable.

With Jimin, I remember V saying that he was more attractive than handsome, and it's true that his features aren't perfectly balanced. Sometimes I personally don't think he's that handsome. But if he's captured a certain way, with certain hairstyles, makeup, etc. he is so beautiful, in a manly yet gentle and androgynous way that is so hard to pin down. Jimin's whole essence is hard to put into words, it's so contradictory - he's cute yet sexy, but never childish or baby like V or Jungkook, bold yet shy, gentle and soft yet imposing, but in a natural way. His presence is huge, he's so charming and impossibly adorable. Like, he triggers my cuteness aggression so bad. His small fists, his beautiful puppy eyes, his smile, his full body laugh, the way he makes himself so tiny and does everything in tiny without even trying... Like RM said, Jimin's whole essence is precious and cute.

Jimin is really incomparable - he's an actual angel, but also so cool, sexy and smol? Like how is he all these things? Hie' better than any character I know. All of BTS are cooler than most characters. Writers couldn't come up with people this awesome haha.

Thanks for the ask!
