Lecture
TW: References to medical fatphobia and health conditions.
Your eyes dart nervously back and forth, from one side of the lecture hall to another. Surely they’re not going to see you like this and just sit there? Surely someone is going to step in and help?
But your hopes are disappointed. You’re met, to the extent the audience looks you in the eyes at all, with blank or half-bored stares. The uncaring look of people who see you and the half-ton of lard filling your body as a technical exercise, and little more. The lecture drones on next to you, and after a few minutes, you’re finally able to focus on what’s being said.
“…recall that yesterday’s subject exhibited signs of severe morbid obesity with excessive deposits of adipose tissue almost exclusively at the anterior abdomen. Today’s subject, by contrast—” at this, you feel the lecturer’s gloved hand grasp one of your bulging love handles, squeeze a solid handful, and lift as he continues “—supplements this distribution with deposits throughout the inguinal, gluteal, and posterior thigh regions, and to a lesser extent, in the pectoral and inframammary regions.” You feel one of your tits being lifted as the lecturer holds it in the palm of their hand, pointing out further details with the other. “So as you see, adipose distribution can vary significantly, based on a number of factors…”
The audience continues listening and taking notes. Occasionally, you see two of its white-coated members whisper to each other, gesturing at some point or other on your expansive body. Your mind wanders from the lecture again, and you begin to look around the room, to the extent the restraints on your bariatric exam chair allow. Despite the audience’s lack of direct attention to you, you’re keenly aware of how exposed and on display you are.
The angle of the chair allows your wide, doughy belly to spill down your lap and between your knees. It spreads your lumpy, shapeless legs into a split that leaves the bulging sacs of fat on your thighs and calves in full view. Likewise, because of the backward tilt of the seat, your head is also tilted back, bringing your chin level with your triple chins and emphasizing them along with your wobbly cheeks and jowls. Restraints tie your arms against padded extensions on either side of the main chair, holding them in a T-pose that causes the flab on your forearms to hang down in puckered globs and the bulk on your upper arms to pool around your shoulders, further squeezing the fat around your face. It’s a position in which, if there were any doubt, you’re shown off as the thoroughly, completely, and probably irrevocably fattened blob you are.
Eventually, the display screens on either side of the hall catch your eye — specifically, the unfamiliar shape appearing next to some inscrutable pixelated numbers in black and white. Then, suddenly, something in the lecture strikes you and the image clicks into stark comprehension.
“…86% body fat, with the result that additional strain on the musculoskeletal structure produces the characteristic bend in the vertebral column to compensate…”
The ill-defined shape on the screen, viewed through the lens of an MRI machine, is a person — is you. You knew you were huge, of course, but your breath catches in your throat to see your gluttony presented in this way — the cross-section showing the muscles and organs and skeleton of a normal person, but floating, buried, smothered in a sea of white-yellow tissue, spreading out shapeless in all directions. Hundreds of pounds of fat, dominating your body, captured with the indisputable precision of medical imaging. You are an anomaly. A curiosity. A pathology. A disease, needing to be treated.
You barely have time to process all of this before you feel two attendants beginning to undo the restraints holding back your arms and legs. You feel your feet spring forward slightly, no longer held down and now pushed out by the bulk of the fat hanging off your calves and thighs. Your arms fall immediately to your sides — or, at least, as close to your sides as the tremendous piles of rolls fighting your bingo wings and forearm flab for space will allow. You slide down from the tilted half-chair/half-gurney to a standing position, and feel a hot ache radiate through you, your body crying out at your full weight being put on your frame for the first time in a long time.
“We’ll see if we can get a demonstration of mobility. Clearly, physical activity isn’t this subject’s strong suit.” A stifled but derisive laugh ripples through the audience at this first flush of color commentary from the lecturer. You turn to look at the lecturer, standing at the lectern, and they gesture to the far side of the hall. A set of double doors, wide enough for you to go through, with a bright “Exit” sign above them, stand about thirty yards away.
Is this it? Are you free to go? After being fattened and poked and prodded for so long, are they finally going to let you just walk out?
You have to try. Slowly, deliberately, and with a shock of pain at every step, you lift your blubber-laden legs one at a time, putting your bare foot down with a wet-sounding plop, as you work your way closer to the door. You look around from the door to the audience to the attendants, eyes widened almost to the point of panic. You see all the audience now paying close attention to you, many of them looking back with genuine surprise, apparently somewhat impressed to see a person as fat as a small cow able to walk at all. But seeing nobody move to stop you as you continue your degrading waddle forward, you try to pick up the pace. Your flabby arms swing in a wide circle, trying to counterbalance the movement of the vast bulk hanging off your midsection, the belly and tits and side rolls wobbling chaotically with each step forward.
“As you can see, mobility is diminished as a result not just of the added weight, but also the severe limitations on range of motion caused by the excess adipose tissue.”
Barely halfway toward the door, you can hear the sound of your heart beating over the drone of the lecture, pounding as if it’s about to burst out of your chest. Sweat dims your eyes, and the heat radiating from your body — but, it feels like, especially from your florid face — makes you realize how fatigued you already are from walking just this limited distance. Walking this distance — but with an extra eight hundred pounds or so more than you’re used to, you think to yourself.
“Note, too, the compounding effect of the excessive weight and the lack of resiliency in the subject’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems due to a prolonged deficit in physical activity. Blood pressure and body temperature rise precipitously, stamina diminishes, breathing becomes labored, blood oxygen plummets. Hence, the elevated risk of cerebrovascular accident, embolism, myocardial infarction…”
You barely have the energy to feel angry at the lecturer’s patronizing indifference by the time you reach the door. Breathing ragged, soaked with sweat, barely able to concentrate and on the verge of collapse, you stumble into a lean against the door frame, desperate to catch your breath so you can finish your escape. It’s right there — you can reach out and touch the push bar, hear what sounds like street noise outside — but your body won’t let you. Your clouded mind won’t focus, your bloated legs won’t lift, your wobbling arms hang limp by your heaving, flabby chest. Exhaustion and despair rise within you in equal measure as you hear the gurney chair being rolled across the room, feel your body being jiggled and manhandled back into a sitting position, and see the exit doors and all hope of help receding as you’re rolled back to center stage, defeated.
Numb and indifferent now, you offer no resistance, sensing the tube and mask being fitted into your mouth as if watching it happening to someone else from a distance. You utter little more than an involuntary groan of complaint or protest — it doesn’t concern you, any more than does the flow of something cold you can feel pooling in your stomach.
“…typical example has a maximum capacity of barely two to four liters. However, consistent overfeeding with a diet that includes a sufficient volume of fiber at appropriate intervals has demonstrated the ability to reliably expand stomach volume to a maximum capacity of 14-16 liters, with p of .05 in our internal studies…”
The sound of the lecture flows past you, mixing with the buzz of the pump filling you with more and more of the chilly slop, and the low creak of the gurney as it takes the added weight. Your eyelids droop, drowsy with the food and your exertions; and you drift away to sleep, the gaze of the audience trained on the slow, relentless expansion of your tumescent belly the last thing you see before your tired eyes close shut.

Tiny doodles of Pidge (my Tav) from act 1 and early act 2. Her hair changed for each act so it’s easy to tell where they are in their journey by how disheveled she looks.
Pidge is a wild magic sorcerer with an affinity for soul magic. She can see the color of others souls (I don’t consider this game breaking, but also it’s my brain baby so idc if that’s possible in the 5e rule set) there are some supplemental fan spells and materials for adding soul magic and flavor and there’s the soul knife subclass rogue which I think was a Critical Roll addition? Ugh, look at me spreading misinformation on the internet.
OC lore below the cut.
Content warning: abusive relationship discussion (parent and child), implied sexual and physical abuse.
Anyway, Pidge grew up Rapunzel like with a very controlling and narcissistic “mother knows best” mom. The only reason her mother even had a child was to be a “spare” body for when her mother succumbed to a fatal illness (and to help her mother transfer souls into soul coins and gems to be bartered in the 9 hells. Lots of devil’s work)
Pidge’s mother is controlling to the extent that Pidge was not allowed to learn anything about her wild magic and spent much of her life warded to keep her from accessing the weave. “For her own safety,” of course. The only magic she was allowed and praised for learning was soul magic, and this was to help her mother with her research into immortality and with business ventures.
Pidge was also used as “entertainment” for her mother’s important guests. Basically anything that her mother could get from Pidge, she would try to use to her benefit.
About 3-5months before the beginning of the game, Pidge escaped and crafted an amulet to protect her body and soul from being hijacked by her mother.
She is the only member of the bg3 origin crew who did not lose skills when she was infected by the tadpole. She didn’t really have skills to begin with. Much to Gale’s dismay, she learns basically on the fly and does a lot of “firebolt first, ask questions later.” To her, practical experience is much more important than book learning. Really she has adhd and can’t rote memorize for the life of her.
She identifies with Karlach early on as they both have had dealings with the hells, although Pidge is just beginning to understand the ramifications of her mother’s hellish business of soul coin forging.
Pidge is also very afraid in act 1 of Gale finding her out as she was told to keep her soul magic affinity secret by her mother. In truth the stigma for soul magic is not so bad, but it was a manipulation technique to keep Pidge from explaining to any magic practitioners what they were working on and how her mother planned to use the research to steal Pidge’s body.
Her mother is still hunting her down, so Pidge needs a permanent solution or soul barrier to keep herself from her mother “living vicariously” through her.
Bodily autonomy is stupid important to her. She rejects the Emperor the moment he tells her to “embrace her ilithid potential” for fear of losing herself. She is self conscious to the extreme and keeps notes on her newfound companions likes and dislikes so she can keep them happy. She had a legitimate panic attack when both Gale and Astarion wanted the necromancy of Thay because, according to her calculations, they would disapprove if the other was the recipient.
She fell for Astarion after rather disliking him for a good ten day or two. He won her over by being actually reliable in scrapes and being really funny. She can’t remember the last time anyone made her laugh, so she loves the feeling. They are the two smooth brained members of the group. Similar brain cell count.
This ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be. If you made it to the end, then you will have made it to the end! *salutes in Barcus Wroot*

on the shroud parents helmet thing, I'm pretty sure Idia's mentioned before that his ancestors (including his parents) use magic tech to deal with their curse and the blot or something like that. In which case, my theory is that's what the helmets probably are?
It does make me wonder then, if the curse also transfers to whoever marries into the Shroud family - seeing as Both Mama and Papa Shroud wear the helmets.
[Referencing this post!]
Oh, thanks for reminding me of that lore. I went back in the main story to double-check the details!!
In 6-42, Idia actually says that his dad and grandma (not his mom) use technomantic devices to enhance their own magic. The reason for doing this is not to better handle their curse or their blot; the Shroud family curse is such that their bodies naturally burn blot (in which case, they wouldn’t need additional help burning through it unless maybe they were very distraught (as emotional state contributes to blot) and/or accumulating blot as a magical byproduct at an extremely rapid rate like Idia did before his OB).
So it could be that Grandma Shroud and Mr. Shroud have low levels of magic and felt that they had to supplement what they were able to do via other means, OR they have pretty normal levels of magic but needed or wanted their magic enhanced for the sake of performing certain tests or procedures. The latter would compensate for general STYX staff having low levels of magic (a safety precaution to minimize the blot they accumulate). The same is not true of Idia, who is magically inclined enough to attend a prestigious school, so we can infer that low magic levels don’t necessarily apply to members of the Shroud family on staff.
The curse seems to only be applicable to those in the Shroud bloodline; it originated as a means of punishing the first head of the Shrouds for rebelling against the Jupiter family. Not only was the first generation cursed, but it extended to their descendants. (If we think about it, the Shroud blood thins with every subsequent generation so… either it’s possible the curse wears off once the percentage of Shroud blood drops below a certain number, or the curse is such that even a single drop of Shroud blood dooms you.)
Pulling in outsiders that marry into the Shrouds seems… logistically dubious (even if we dismiss it as “it’s magic, so it doesn’t need to be explained”)?? Like, how does the magic for the curse even know when the marriage is technically “official” and it’s time to inflict itself on the spouse… Because laws for marriage change all the time, not to mention a couple could still be in love and have kids without technically being married. Would the S/O be cursed even if they don’t produce a child with their Shroud partner or never hand hold get physically intimate? Is just loving a Shroud enough grounds to be hit with the curse? But then how does the curse define “love”? What if they fall out of love or divorce/break up with a Shroud, is the curse revoked? Or is the S/O just kind of screwed? Why would the Jupiters even weave the curse to punish people not even remotely related to the original uprising? (It’s still unfair that the Shroud descendants also get cursed, but at least it can be argued that it follows the theme of “the sins of the father are the sins of the son”.) To hurt the Shrouds more by dragging their romantic partners down with them? But isn’t the original curse enough, why rub more salt into the wound? If you make them afraid to get close to people because the curse might pass to them, then doesn’t it defeat the purpose of continuing the line and thus prolonging the curse? Am I boring you yet 😂
Curses have rules and conditions outlined (like when Vil uses his UM) to govern how the magic behaves and how/when it releases. If the Jupiters spun such an elaborate curse to cover all their bases, we might need an attorney that’s well-versed curses and blessings on the case/j
To close off, I’ll share a funny idea a friend pitched! They said that if the helmet is really what Mr. Shroud uses to enhance his magic, then Mrs. Shroud must have decided to also wear a helmet to be supportive of her husband’s decision and/or to be a cute matching couple 💕

We all suffer TFES AU
*This is a headcanon ive had in my head after i just rewatched parts of tfes and the season 2 ending- to be honest i made it so i can give starscream a redemtion arc. There shouldnt be any major warnings- maybe some light phychological torture in future stories*
!this is worlbuilding brainrot- no character diologue or interactions!
Synopsis: Mandroid had been foiled and the lives of all cybertronians saved at the end of the battle, yes. And the victors- the Maltos, Terrans, Autobots and Decepticons alike could breathe a sigh of relief at their victory and subsequent survival. But unknown to anyone, the strings of fate will be woven by the madman even after he is gone, for he made sure that even in death, he'll prove a point in the end.
Chapter I - a madmans plan
A good scientist always plans ahead, at least, that's what Mandroid did. During his year away, he had plotted and made hundreds of simulations, utilizing the time he had gained now that his new form didn't have a need for sleep. All his tests had one goal in mind- wiping out all cybertronians on Earth, to save it when so many were blind to the cybernetic beasts that were mere flippant whims away from wringing humanity's neck. Throughout all his simulations and experiments one thing became sure- the emberstones and subsequently that ''Quintus Primes'' powers were an unpredictable factor. His plans could never be foolproof. So, he implemented a failsafe, something that would ensure that people would see those mechanical war machines for what they are, but he also hoped that his failsafe would cut out the need for humans all together- make the cybertronians tear each other limb from limb themselves. With his actions, he'd make sure that the embers of the Decepticon and Autobot conflict would be stoked into a blaze once more.
The Maltos stood at the wrecked tower, rejoicing in their victory, hugs and kisses abound between members of the family, relieved everyone ultimately made it out alive. The Decepticons and Autobots taking a moment to compose themselves after almost returning to the well of sparks, thank primus none remained injured. After a moment, everyone composes themselves and gets to work gathering the emberstone shards. The Decepticons, despite their previous misgivings towards the humans and Autobots stayed to help. It seemed like the bridge between Decepticons and Autobots was being slowly but surely crossed. But, after a while the Decepticons that were in its vicinity began to act...odd. The emberstone shards seemed to ignite something in them, as if it was drawing out some kind of restlessness within the previously cooperative Decepticons. It didn't take long for them to conspire and steal the first emberstone shards. Then the second, then the third and then many more after that. Madroids plan had worked.
Alex's theory about the stones ''rules'' being broken, while partially true, was incomplete. The ''rules'' weren't broken themselves, but moreso supplemented with additional ''rules'' courtesy of Mandroids implanted failsafe, which made it unstable to the point that it had initially shattered. Noone could be faulted for not realizing everything of course, after all, the one person who had schemed this whole plot was already dead and buried and no one would question the good ol' proverb of ''Decepticons will always be Decepticons''
The Decepticons were the ones affected by the modified emberstones power- it brought out in them that little whispering voice that weaved itself into their programming. The voice that made false promises of grandure, of returnign home, of getting revenge on those who stand before them. It exacerbating their worst traits and dulling their empathy all the while twisting their previous thoughts and actions to aid in their gradual reshaping back into simple villains. This trait was even more prominent in the newly formed chaos Terrans- lifeforms that were created by the power of the emberstone, but were, from birth, corrupted by its influence.
The effects of the corrupted stones power varied from Decepticon to Decepticon- some barely changed and some became almost... violent.
next/
This is my first writing project and my first language isnt english so i hope this wasnt too jarring to read, if anyone actually sat through this. Hope to continue!
#thansformers earthspark#tfes#tfe starscream#transformers#mandroid#maccadam#if i make more content about this au#i will make characters suffer#and by characters i mean starscream#can you tell this is my first real writing project/work#i wrote this at 1 am

"Captain's Log...
"... Stardate... unknown. And for that matter I'll note that our current location is also undetermined. That being said, 'Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the Delta Quadrant anymore.'
We appear to have arrived in a trans-dimensional crossroads of sorts. A pocket dimension. Perhaps alarmingly, our arrival here is by no accident.
Sensor readings couldn't make heads or tails of this place, so Commanders Chakotay and Tuvok, as well as Ensign Kim, and Mr. Neelix were sent on an away mission to discreetly gather data. It would seem that during their exploration they discovered the being who claims to be responsible for all this. He calls himself, Masaccio, a humanoid-terrapin. The second we've ever seen since we met Donatello.
Unfortunately, Donatello doesn't recognize him in the slightest.
However, the away team also reports that in addition to this Masaccio character, there are also dozens of other humanoid-terrapins, some apparently equally confused as we are, and some who appear to be completely at ease with the situation.
To have this much power.... To be able to pull this many people from across dimensions into one space. I can't help but wonder if he is some errant Q, but he seems much more... juvenile than any of the Q continuum we've encountered before.
According to Chakotay, those who have been gathered here are meant to be contestants in some sort of competition, a friendly one at that. He suggested that we play along, that the path of least resistance will get us back on our journey Earth much more quickly. We're still severely lacking in data, but for now I'm inclined to agree. Though I have advised the crew to be cautious. Currently, I'm unsure if Masaccio is aware of Voyager's presence, or of just how many of us there are. I believe his interest is only in others like himself.
For now, we're keeping a low profile, and only select crew members are permitted to leave the ship. Among those is Donatello.
As I said before, there are dozens of people like him here, and there is a non-zero chance that his family might have been brought here as well. If there will be one good thing to come out of this unlikely situation, I would hope for that reunion.
...
I have to admit, I'll miss him. Of course, I made a promise to him to get him home, and I intend to keep that promise. Though, I would be lying if I said we haven't all grown fond of him. Perhaps no one more than Sam and Naomi. If it does happen, it will be a bittersweet farewell.
As of right now, Donatello is exploring. I sent Commander Tuvok and Ensign Wildman as his chaperones, but knowing Donatello I'm not sure how long that will last before he manages to give them the slip. I can hope. Even so, they've all been instructed to keep open comm links. I've also assigned Commander Chakotay, Neelix, Ensign Kim, and Seven of Nine on rotating shifts to gather further data and establish points of contact on the ground.
I will of course continue to provide supplemental log reports as the true nature of our situation becomes more evident. For now though, as they say, 'Let the games begin.'
Janeway, out."
-----------------------------------------------------
Soooooooo, "Set a Course for Home" is in the TMNT story comp! (polls are @tmntstorycomp :D) this is the first comp I've ever participated in so I'm super excited. So to celebrate here's a quick little propaganda blurb (is this how you do propaganda? oh well). I'm probably gonna try to have little propaganda updates like this mixed in with regular one-shot updates, though I'm still deciding whether or not to put the prop chapters up on ao3 at the same time as the regular ones.
But anyway :D

BTS Tutorial: Pandora's Unlimited Looping
As Whoopi Goldberg once famously said in the movie Ghost: "You in danger, girl." Many chart accounts on Twitter are saying our streams have Jimin dropping out of the Top 20 already.
Looping on Pandora is a crucial strategy at a critical time when YouTube is deleting views, radio is reluctant, and our Spotify playlists must support several members. We must make use of all tools available.
Please read this post and share the link to this tutorial with all big accounts and your social media. We need all hands on deck.
Pandora is an old and trusted streaming service that counts for Billboard charts.
If you have a free 90-day premium trial, it lets you make your own playlist that you can loop for 24 straight hours without clicking around or signing in.
Here's why you don't want to just use the free version:
--the streams count three times LESS than premium streams
--Pandora will auto-play other songs in between the songs you want
--there are constant ads you have to sit through to get to a song
So just bite the bullet and use a free trial. It's good for months and they will remind you before you get charged!
Okay, so, let's assume you've been a good ARMY and you've made your free premium Pandora account.
You want to start straight away searching for songs to save into MY COLLECTION.
Today, we need to make a playlist to promote Face--specifically Like Crazy. (We can also use this strategy later to help all of BT'S songs. Our goal right now is to prevent freefall in Week 3 before D-Day is out. But this will be good practice for all our boys once we get it down pat, especially if YouTube doesn't get straightened out!)
My playlist looks like this:
Now look here. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. We know Like Crazy is 3:32 minutes long. In theory, you could loop this song 410+ times in a day and all those plays will count. We know that 150 premium streams is the equivalent of buying the song once, so looping like this is like buying the song twice that day.
THIS IS HOW WE BEAT THE DROP IN SALES AND CULLED VIEWS.
I am not saying you shouldn't buy. You should. In fact, both SHERRY and JIMIN FUNDS will be prioritizing Like Crazy digitals in Week 3, so please buy if you are US/PR ARMY and can make new accounts!
Either way, when you make a Pandora playlist of all of Jimin's Like Crazy versions, remember to click that loop button once on the bottom ribbon:
And then just sit back every day and let those streams pour in.
Puppykitties, I know you must be so tired. I have an eyestrain migraine a mile wide and am not supposed to be on the computer right now. I'm certain the last thing you want to do is delve into making new accounts when you're already working hard.
Word on the street is that using Pandora WORKS WONDERS:
We already know this is a tried and true technique for other K-pop fandoms whom I will not be mentioning here. I appreciate their hard work and respect the knowledge they've earned. Please leave them alone. ARMY needs to focus on BTS and make good use of the techniques they have learned.
For visual learners, here's an instructional video on setting up Pandora, but honestly, it's pretty intuitive.
youtube
PLEASE COPY THE LINK TO THIS TUTORIAL AND SEND IT TO EVERY MAJOR JIMIN-SUPPORTING ACCOUNT YOU KNOW ON TWITTER AND TUMBLR.
I know we have some very important conversations that need to be had, but I strongly feel we need to put shipping and solo discourse aside right now. We are losing precious time because ARMY is reluctant to use this app. But we cannot maintain buying records like we did for the first two weeks of Face.
We NEED to use Pandora--in addition to requesting radio play and using Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and Facebook-- and hope those streams supplement sales drops.
Please do not abandon any platform even if they frustrate you. I'm just saying I don't think I can over-emphasize how crucial Pandora is going to be for Week 3 for Jimin. And isn't Jimin what unites us all?
I really, really need your help to get all major Jimin accounts familiarized and on board with this, so Jimin fans can hop on Pandora early this week and go hard. It is the most effective use of our energy right now.
FIGHTING!
Love, Roo
P.S.
To my friends tagged below, any help spread the word is deeply appreciated. Thank you all!

Haiiii
Ik this is so random but I am getting to know Leiya and I'm already so in love but I would like to know more, and since he's your oshi and you love talking about him, may you tell me things about him? 🥺👉👈 Pls
Hello! Thank you for the ask, I love Leiya and I love yapping! (lol)
I think the information on Exile Tribe wiki are pretty sufficient as an introduction to Leiya, so these are just additional fun facts imo
Recommended watch: ⭐️ 50 Questions with Seguchi Leiya (CL - ENG SUB), ⭐️ Seguchi Leiya's Seed of Dreams (CL - ENG SUB), Drinking with Leiya (Horinatsu Kanmuri), Q&A with Leiya (Horinatsu Kanmuri), Leiya's Morning Routine (Horinatsu Kanmuri), What's In My Bag feat. Leiya (Horinatsu Kanmuri)
his emoji in fandom is 🐵
is an only child
childhood dream was to be a sausage (yeah idk what that means)
was pretty much a soccer kid before he discovered dancing
he’s the member in fanta who has the least dance experience
was also interested in rap ever since he started dancing. He mainly rap during concert only (as remix to fanta songs), but you can check out his original rap in his Instagram videos
other than rapping, he's also very good at doing a Donald Duck impression
also likes drawing. his self-produce merch is usually his own design
usually late lol (Leiya's Morning routine)
likes camping and outdoor activities but never really shown any pictures of it
self proclaimed clean freak (50Qs with Leiya)
loves fortune telling
he's always somewhere doing workouts
Very particular about fragrance/perfume. The incense he used in The Usual Night is his own belonging and putting on aroma diffuser is his night time routine (50Qs with Leiya). He also has different mist for his hat/knit caps, mask, perfume etc (What's In My Bag feat. Leiya)
considers his butt as his charm point. Which is also the main focus in his photobook
Looks tough and always happy but is actually very sensitive. He takes things to heart easily and said that he actually thinks he's more often on the low than up. (Q&A with Leiya). Member Sawanatsu says he has a glass of heart.
Pretty sickly. He's prone to anemia and last year he took a break because of an infection.
Iirc the last time Leiya got an attack when performing was sometime two years ago, where he was unable to come out during encore. (I couldn't find which performance it was anymore, so don't quote me on this). this is also why im always happy to see Leiya anytime. Leiya is usually very reserved and doesnt talk much during MC time, but it’s fine. I’m satisfied as long as I get to see a healthy Leiya 🙏
Outside of fanta, he's close to Hidaka Ryuta (Ballistik Boyz)
Respects EXILE SHOKICHI a lot. He started getting interested in meat, wine, and wearing white Calvin Klein underwear because of SHOKICHI’s influence. He calls him niisan
The above are things Leiya himself said or from members, the below will be my own list of things I noticed or like about Leiya
he's very bad at SNS 🙃 He barely updates his SNS and even on the rare times where he does a livecast something will probably go wrong. and he still calls X as Twitter by habit
He's the most boyfriend-like when referring to fans. You will fall in love with him.
recommended MV for Leiya is Hey Darlin'
I really like Leiya's voice. There were some fanta songs that i came to like after i heard the remix with Leiya's rap (Playback, What A Wonder)
other than him rapping I also really like the way Leiya talks about mundane things like how he describes his ideal mattress, different scents, his supplements. etc. He's very good at making things sound important. I think he'd be a good salesman lol
I hope this helps in making you more interested in our Leiyataso! 🐵❤️

9, 18! (from @bladesandbhaalspawn)
Thank you for the ask! ヾ(•ω•`)o
9. What did they do for work/to get by?
I'm so embarrassed that I didn't give Étoile a "day job," but every d&d setting I've ever played has had an Adventurer's Guild, and having made their mother my Skyrim Dragonborn oc, it felt fine at the time to make Étoile's profession "Adventurer."
I imagine a lot of work obtained from the Adventurer's Guild can look like mercenary work, such as protecting scholars as they research something dangerous or travel from place to place, or being hired to drive a cult out of a particular land, or collect so many vials of gelatinous cube, etc. But that being a part of the Adventurer's Guild means swearing off taking additional mercenary work or a promise to direct potential employers into going through the AG so that you're not hired in competition to your fellow guild members by those bandits, that cult, etc.
I think Adventurers are largely paid well / are more likely than the average person to come across rare and magical artifacts and other items that can be sold to stay afloat, but on the occasion that this income needed to be supplemented that Étoile wouldn't be opposed to odd jobs; painting a house, fixing a wall, helping someone move from one place to the next, dock-work, and they aren't a doctor but a few applications of Lay On Hands has to be worth something.
18. What did they want to be when they were younger?
I don't think there was something they wanted to be so much as there were things they wanted to see! They wanted to see the world! They wanted to feel prepared to leave their little home on their mountain and see what lay at the bottom of it, and beyond; to see how people lived across the Sea of Stars, etc.
They wanted to be respected, like they imagined (or perceived) their mother Wylla to be. Whether she's just coincidentally respected in Étoile's presence because the only people who they meet in her company are members of her werewolf pact and paladin order, and community members who have benefited from her actions directly, or because she was actually a respectable woman, her reputation would have stood out more to a young Étoile who felt like an assistant or apprentice to their mothers' works.
Étoile definitely had a period where they worried they'd falter and spend the entirety of their life in Aranea's temple to Auril / Azura, or that in Wylla's absence that Aranea would force them to stay, but Wylla trained them to be a paladin and Aranea nurtured their faith to ensure that when they felt othered because of it or their upbringing that they'd still be able to continue on and pursue those other desires of wanderlust.
It wasn't really until the illithid parasite that they went through anything traumatic enough that made them homesick.

catboy!charlie x hector munday
The life of cat-people was not easy and serene. For centuries, they were a quite discriminated group: they had no voting rights, they were considered not full-fledged humans, but rather a supplement to the "normal" members of society, something like a very expensive pet, the ownership of which added some points to the status of the owner. In the twenty-first century, of course, the situation became better: cat-people obtained equal rights and continued to defend their independence from other humans; they began to be respected, and sometimes they even managed to occupy leading positions in different companies. But the world continued to be imperfect. Cats were still more exposed to domestic violence and other forms of violence based on hatred, they were more often victims of sexual abuse and so on, and they were often kidnapped in order to be sold into slavery. The protection of their rights has long been on the agenda of the UN and other international organisations, but few have felt the effects of the declaration of equality.
Charles was bullied as a child at the school he attended - he was teased, pulled by his ears and tail, given inappropriate jokes. All of this led to a lot of complexes in his adult life and a lack of affection for people. Even when he moved to the US and started working as an investigative journalist, it still didn't leave him. In addition, in the industry, he is occasionally treated as a second-class human being. Some would mock the 'cute little cat', and some would try to get him into bed with them, arguing that they had 'heard about the unique ability of cats to please'. In general, Charles did not like being a cat guy, and he had his reasons for that.
At the same time, it was a part of his life that could not be got rid of, and he was aware of that.
One day, after he had once again failed and found himself all alone in the city, with almost no money and absolutely no friends around, Lonnit just wandered the deserted night streets, ears pressed to his head and staring sadly at his feet. The rain was beginning to fall more and more heavily, and this depressed him even more, so much so that at one point tears rolled down his cheeks. He stopped near the street lamp and just sat down on the pavement, hugging his knees.
He had no idea what to do.
His hair was getting wetter and wetter from the noisy droplets falling from the sky, and his clothes were starting to get wet as well. At some point it was as if he couldn't feel any more drops on him, though from the sound of it, it was still raining. He raised his head in confusion and saw a quiet man standing nearby, opening a black umbrella over him. The man was wearing a beige coat and a black hat and looked like the most clichéd noir detective in the world. Charlie blinked confusedly, looking at him. "H-Hello," stutters the young man.
"Well hello there. Need any help?" asks the man, tilting his head slightly to the side, peering at the wet cat boy. Lonnit is about to say, out of habit, that everything is fine and there is no need to worry about him, when suddenly the man removes his coat and puts it over Charles's shoulders. He takes his breath away for a few moments and looks at him like… a kitten. Yes. A most suitable description, perhaps. "Come on, you need to warm up," the man says, holding out his hand to the Charles.
Lonnit quickly casts a glance back and forth between the hand reached out and the stranger's face. Perhaps he is about to make another stupid decision - is it the 30th for this month? - and takes hold of his hand, standing up with his help, and wraps himself a little more tightly in a coat that is too big for him. The man nods, urging him to follow, and carefully holds up his umbrella so as to shelter the cat boy from the rain with it. "And you are… um… and w-who are you?" asks Charlie.
"Agent Munday. I mean Hector," the man replies calmly, smiling faintly at him, and Lonnit just nods awkwardly, becoming silent. They walk a short distance, just a couple of houses, and finally walk into an entranceway, followed by a small flat. Munday shakes off the drips from his umbrella and carelessly lays it by the entrance, and then takes his coat off Charles and hangs it up. Lonnit staying tentatively in place, wary and faintly wagging his tail. "Gotta get your clothes dry. I'll give you mine for now. Go change, the bathroom's that way," he nods at the right door. Charlie continues to stand still, undecided, wondering if it's too late to apologise and run off shamefully with his tail between his legs. Eventually he does give in under the calm gaze of the brown eyes and, with a sigh, goes to the bathroom to take off his soaked clothes. "And take a shower. That'll warm you up quicker," Hector says after him, and Lonnit only nods awkwardly.
Taking off his clothes, he hesitantly climbs into the shower cubicle. The hot water warms him pleasantly almost instantly, and he exhales relaxedly, covering his eyes. It feels good. Very good. He just stands like this for a while, and then begins to wash his head, body and tail, wondering at the same time what kind of situation he's put himself in. He really went to a stranger's house. Really undressed in his bathroom. God, that's obviously not going to be good for Charles.
He gets out of the shower and suddenly notices a pile of clothes and a towel on a small table nearby. He doesn't even seem to have heard Hector come into the room and bring it all in. Lonnit sighs softly. Okay. Maybe it's just some pervert. He can handle a pervert. Just as long as it's not some maniac.
Once he's dried off, he examines the clothes the man gave him. It turns out to be a T-shirt that says "No one knows I'm a serial killer" and pajama trousers with ties. The whole thing looks a bit baggy on Charles, and the pants even have to be twisted up a bit. The T-shirt smells good, but not like some kind of laundry detergent - no, it's something else. Perfume? Charlie sniffs, but still doesn't know what it smells like.
Opening the door, he steps cautiously out of the room barefoot and, treading softly like a cat, goes in search of the man. He finds him in the kitchen. There is already a cup of tea on the table and something is definitely cooking on the cooker - Charles unconsciously sniffs and realises that it is chicken and rice. He licks his lips as he sits down at the table and looks curiously at the agent who has not yet noticed him. He continues to cook quietly, and Charlie takes a moment to examine his behaviour more closely while he thinks no one is seeing him.
Hector seems calm, so… ordinary. He's still in the same suit he was wearing before, just his gloves off. And he seems to be humming something to himself. Suddenly he turns around to put a plate of food on the table and flinches when he sees Charles. "Jesus! You scared me. How long have you been sitting here?" he asks, putting everything in front of the young man and wiping his hands with a towel.
"Three minutes," confesses with an innocent smile Lonnit. Munday shakes his head slightly.
"Eat" he simply says.
"Thank you," Charlie replies awkwardly, picking up his fork and starting to eat. For some reason he's not at all worried that the food might be poisoned. Hector, meanwhile, goes on with his household chores, washing the frying pan and wiping the crumbs off the cutting board. "Ah… you're not a maniac, are you?" inquires Lonnit, and Munday turns around somewhat bewildered at him, before smiling, clearly amused by the young man's words.
"You're a very careless kitty, aren't you?" asks Hector, leaning his lower back against the tabletop, and Charlie twitches his ears slightly. "And no, I'm not a maniac. I already told you - I'm Agent Munday. I work for the FBI."
"Can you… um… can you not call me that, please, Agent Munday?" awkwardly dares Lonnit to ask after all. "It's a bit rude, actually."
"I'm sorry. I don't know your name," replies Hector calmly, and the young man smiles.
"Charlie. Charlie Lonnit".
"And how did you end up in this situation, Charlie?" asks Munday, tilting his head slightly to the side.
Lonnit sighs, lowering his gaze to his plate. "Well… long story short, I'm a journalist, and I've been duped by a man who promised to give me important information regarding an investigation I'm conducting…" he sighs, sadly shaking his tail. "And now I'm in an unfamiliar city with no money and no acquaintances. And also without any information for an article."
"And what's your article about?" inquires Hector.
"About the Beast of Arkansas," Charlie replies. "'Thought no one could write about these murders better than me. Well, and I kind of feel… like it's my duty, you know. To speak out. After all, he's killing people like me."
"He kills people like you, and you thought it would be a great idea to go to the town he's doing this?" asks Munday, and Lonnit shrugs awkwardly, smiling.
"I'm a silly cat, what can I say?" he jokes. "Curiosity killed the cat and all that, but life never teaches me anything. That's why I'm in this situation," sighs Charles, and his ears droop a little. Hector, looking at it intently, tilts his head sideways with interest, thinking.
"Well, maybe fate has been kind to you this time after all," he says suddenly, and Lonnit looks up at him bewildered. "At least you weren't kidnapped and killed in an alleyway somewhere. I'm willing to provide you with a warm bed, and… maybe - just maybe - I can answer some of your questions about the Beast, since I'm the one investigating his case," Hector explains, and Charles' pupils suddenly dilate towards the end of his speech. It looks a little funny and cute, and Munday even smiles a bit.
He's always been a cat person.
"Really? You're not kidding? Oh, thank you very much, Agent Munday!" Charlie smiles, and his tail starts twitching excitedly from side to side. "I… don't know how to thank you for this opportunity."
"I think you've already repaid me enough for everything with your charmingly grateful smile," Hector smiles slightly, trying not to flirt too bluntly so as not to embarrass the young man; he smiles back sweetly. "But I'd still prefer you to eat and sleep first. All right?" offers Munday, and the young man nods hastily.
A little later, Hector watches him as he falls asleep on his bed, curled up in a ball, and thinks to himself that he should probably really get himself a cat.
Or a lover.
Or Charles.

This is so weird to look back on. The Robotic Boogaloo had such a mixed reception, but I feel like it was a pretty important part of TF2's history, since nothing like this had ever been done before. And being able to be a part of it... like, damn, dude. Jerma985, who Scout is named after because he just is Scout, has read something I wrote long before he became the internet's favorite chew toy streamer. He didn't mention the comic in this video, sadly, as he uses most of the video to point out that this could have just been done in the Steam Workshop. Which, I mean, I guess, but this was an experiment.
This was something that had never been tried before. I can't think of many other video games that would openly celebrate the contributions of their fans the way Valve did with TF2. The only example I can think of that goes beyond that is Sonic Team publishing Sonic Mania. Roblox and SecondLife allow users to submit custom content and make money off of their creations, but Valve had a means of quality control by allowing the community to vote on items to be included in the game before this update even happened. Players were already used to the Steam Workshop system. That wasn't the case for the Robotic Boogaloo, when a bunch of items made by Facepunch users, all themed, were added to the game all at once, with no input from the rest of the player base. I can see now why that might be a bit irksome, to say the least.
I wonder if people look back on this update more fondly, as apparently people were less generous to more recent community updates. I'm pretty sure End of the Line and Jungle Inferno updates were received pretty well, but it's been so long and I stopped playing TF2 regularly in 2014, with my last session being in 2016, which is seven years ago, and the game has changed a lot since then (I didn't even know TF2 had weapon skins the same way CS: GO does until fucking today). So my knowledge of how most community updates past 2014 were received is... limited, to say the least. I think those updates were looked upon as warmly as they were because Valve allowed people to add more than just hats. The people working on Robotic Boogaloo were peeved that all of their contributions would just be hats. I worked it in as an excuse plot for Death of a Salesbot, even. Valve definitely listened to this feedback from players and I think that helped future community updates.
The Robotic Boogaloo was mostly organized by Cantsman, who recruited a bunch of people from Facepunch. There originally was supposed to be a map (and I think weapons? maybe?), however, the files for the map were found fairly recently and it was revealed that the map needed a lot of work done on it, and it would remain unfinished. Cantsman's intent was to bring together different parts of the community; not just the modelers, but he also recruited a bunch of fanartists, which was not even necessary. Cantsman was a regular poster on TF2chan as well as Facepunch, and as an artist, he wanted to invite members of that community as well. The fact that any of us on the fanart side, which included people who didn't do 3D modelling,
Somebody I used to be friends with was very upset that I was the only writer brought on board, but a logistical perspective, I really don't know how you could expect to get multiple people who were known primarily for fic involved in an update like this (we are no longer friends because she couldn't even pretend to be happy for me, like wtf). Cantsman wrote and conceived of the larger scenario of Gray Mann being the source of the robotic hats himself, and my main contribution was writing the comic with him to flesh out this idea. Those are my words written out, but it was Cantsman who mentioned the idea of Future Engineer as a throwaway idea. I pounced on it immediately. I did a little bit of supplemental writing for blurbs on the promotional site, but other than that, most of it was Cantsman. There really wasn't anything that additional writers would have been able to do, and there was very much an effort on mine and Cantsman's part to make sure that the writing did have a cohesive voice, with a tone fitting for TF2 canon. I can't help but read the things that I wrote and feel like they are very clearly written by me. My dad got to read the comic the year before he died, and he was incredibly proud, saying that even if he didn't go in knowing that I'd written it, he'd still be able to tell.
I am so fucking proud of Soldier wearing a tiara and eating a money sandwich. That shit is still funny to me. I don't care if people didn't like Kisses von Butternubs. Yeah, he's no Poopy Joe, but there's so much off-the-wall craziness in TF2 canon that it's hard to compete with a team of professionals. Cantsman and I were coming to it as people who drew and wrote comics for fun.
It's been 10 years. I didn't realize the anniversary was last month; one of the biggest changes of my entire adult life happened in May and goddamn, that month went by fast. I should probably message Cantsman, see how he's doing. I feel incredibly lucky that when he was looking for a writer from the fanfic community to help him when he was stuck after having only written a single page, he picked me to help him. Literally, he just messaged me on Steam and was like "hey, I'm working on this top secret project, it's a fanmade TF2 update and I could use some help writing. Are you interested?"
And I answered with a very enthusiastic "sure, why not?"
My good friend @nevvyland would tell me that I needed to apply myself and work harder to find an industry job, and that one wouldn't just fall into my lap. And lo and behold, this job fell into my lap. Nevvy had to stand corrected.
I wonder how everyone else that worked on it is doing. I wonder if they'd be okay with me reaching out to them. I posted a lot of cringe throughout the 2010's, but the reasons for that are a completely different story for another time. As I've said before, I feel like the 2020's and me being in the latter half of my 30's have put a lot of things into perspective.
I don't mind being known for writing Death of a Salesbot, as well as Respawn of the Dead and With Apologies to Harlan Ellison, but these were things that happened so long ago. I fear my newer projects will never again have that reach... but that's okay. I'll just keep chugging along with my art and writing, and make things because I enjoy making them.
Much better than being remembered for calling a horse dildo beautiful.

What are some good-for-fic-exploration places you picked up on in WNS2?
HELLO FRIEND (hi) you are sweet for asking this, here's a rambling list, not necessarily all from WN s2
I feel like we aren't talking enough about the fact that in order to show those nuns how to make a TikTok, Camila has presumably made TikToks before, what is she posting???
where does Jillian/Arq Tech go after the events of this season?
what does Michael's funeral look like? and Mary's?
how does the OCS coordinate the care, cleaning, and burial of their fallen globally?
we still don't have a lot of background on - well, anybody, but today I was remembering Sister Frances' line in s1 where she says "[Ava] will burn like those who spawned her" which is probably one of those lines you get in a pilot where they want to plant the seeds for potential plot lines, and it's one that got discarded/never picked up, but I still wanna imagine where that could have gone
everything with Lilith's arc!!! (I had a lot of fun with this)
why the OCS just. did not think to factor Lilith into their plans despite her popping up to annoy them/foil their plans more than once before the Big Battle
what if, when Avatrice kiss and Ava raises her hand to Bea's cheek, Bea seizes the opening and succeeds in placing the crown of thorns on Ava's head?
the sword glowing, of course, I can think of two general return scenarios and wrote one already, second one tbd
what is Yasmine's order like? is she the only member, has the order declined? do they have protocols in place that say, "Adriel's defeated! we no longer exist. be free"? because if she's already part of a religious order, how can she join the OCS??
LOLOLOL all of the "our previous emissary" and the "wait. does this--does this mean Jesus was...?" stuff, including the "our" in Adriel's statement AND the fact that if beings like him can only(?) be destroyed by tarasks or Reya, presumably, then. is WN!Jesus still around in a tomb of his own somewhere??? was he actually killed, and if so, was it by humans and if SO where did that knowledge go??
also would like to poke at Adriel's grandiose claim that he's the reason the Church amassed so much power. dude this world's christianity existed before you landed in the middle of Areala's battle
tattoo artist for the Firstborn
ALSO poke at the name of the Firstborn and the fact that they were helping 'pray in' the plagues - presumably they're named for the firstborn who survive the last plague??
was Vincent the only one who developed a connection with Adriel before Adriel's release? how did Vincent get those tattoos? actually if divinium is what can defeat the wraiths I'm surprised they didn't tattoo like, all the sisters of the OCS -- actually I just have so many questions about the logic of divinium
Mother Superion looking into the mirror and seeing her face without a scar for the first time in years; Mother Superion walking without her cane/making a decision whether to keep it
what's the Samaritans' deal? what was Michael's journey before finding Ava and Bea? how did he get here from the other side?
and many other places besides, this is all in addition to the ground-level, constant urge I have to extrapolate from the OCS out to the weird Catholicism of the world they live in, in order to make things make sense
(these are also not necessarily all good launching pads for fics, though I do think that any one of these questions could supplement an existing idea/plot/structure/trope!)

[CASTILLO AARGÓN ([RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [OLDEST CHILD FROM A HIGH SCHOOL RELATIONSHIP]
[CASTILLO AARGÓN (RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [DAUGHTER]
[CASTILLO AARGÓN ([RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [SON]
[CASTILLO AARGÓN ([RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [OLDEST CHILD FROM A HIGH SCHOOL RELATIONSHIP]. They are [30-33], and look an awful lot like [ANY CUBAN OR HALF CUBAN FC]. Muns [DO NOT] have to contact mun before applying.
these two are a classic case of ‘strained, absent, workaholic father relationship’ syndrome. cas was quite young when your muse came along; a consequence of young love. and cas acted quite childish to the new responsibility. he has never denied your muse or pretended as if they didn’t exist, but he was a part-time dad at the best of times and a quarter-time dad the majority of the time. to him, he just had to get his law degree, no matter if that meant his child hardly saw him. he’d show up to maybe one curricular activity, a birthday, then the end of the year holidays every year. it didn’t help that he met and ended up getting engaged to someone else while he was finishing up the law degree he neglected you for. it was all in the name of providing a better life for your muse. at least that’s what he told himself. but by the time he thought he had all his ducks in a row (and now half-siblings for you to bond with) your muse was well into their pre-teen years and wanted nothing to do with their 'barely dad’. even as your muse continued to give him the cold shoulder, cas still would reach out every once in a while and send them a good sum of money every christmas and birthday. but it wasn’t enough to heal the wounds your muse received from his absence, was it? cas was so wrapped up in providing a stable life for them (or as stable as he could provide being barely on the precipice of young adulthood when your most formative years took place) that he forgot the emotional connection altogether. hopefully, their mother supplemented for his lack of emotional intelligence. the two don’t stay in touch anymore, especially after your muses iced out of everything cas. but two years ago, their birthday came and went and there was no text. no letter. nothing from him. your muse must have heard right? aspen creek is only so big. does your muse pity their loss? do they feel numb, unable to put aside their hurt to sympathize with the cause of that hurt? or could this hurt, even after all these years, spell the start of a healed relationship? maybe he could show you how much he has truly cared for you all these years. but who knows? the past is still heavy between these two.
[CASTILLO AARGÓN (RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [DAUGHTER]. They are [22-23], and look an awful lot like [BEBE WOOD (OR ANY ½ CUBAN, ½ WHITE FEMALE FC)]. Muns [DO NOT] have to contact mun before applying.
Additional information:
though your muse’s arrival was sooner than cas expected, the aargón family was more than happy to welcome another child into their lives. your muse has felt the least of cas’ past strife. in fact, she was only five months old when he passed his bar exam. sure, her dad was still a workaholic, but she’d never know an absent father like her older sibling did. she would grow up knowing even less of the details as by the time she came along, the ghosting had already begun. your muses’ life was pretty normal at the house on maple grove. cas and iris were loving parents who worked hard but always made time for her and her brother. however, your muse absolutely had more quality time with her mom due to the nature of cas’ work. however, he is absolutely a sucker for your muse’s younger child charms. she could probably get him to try to fly her to the moon if that’s what she asked of him. well, at least she could. ever since her mom’s passing two years ago, your muse hasn’t seen much of her dad. he has poured himself into his work, shutting out every family member from his life. he has removed all the photos of iris and won’t even speak her name. what effect will this have on your muse’s young adult years? will their relationship survive?
[CASTILLO AARGÓN ([RAÚL ESPARZA)] is looking for their [SON]. They are [23-24], and look an awful lot like [JORDAN GONZALEZ (NO ALTS DUE TO CHARACTER & JORDAN BEING CUBAN + TRANS)]. Muns [DO NOT] have to contact mun before applying.
cas was terrified when his then-fiancee announced she was pregnant. it was almost a sick flashback to the situation with his first child. but he wasn’t a young kid anymore and that safety net of a good job he worked so hard for was almost below his feet. so, he sucked it up, got married and your muse was soon born to the happy couple. his younger sister would follow only 1-2 year(s) later, creating this perfect little family living in their house on maple grove. his dad was still a workaholic, but he’d never know an absence of cas like his older sibling did. he would grow up knowing of them but never any of the gory details. your muses’ life was pretty normal from then on. cas and iris were loving parents who worked hard but always made time for him and his sister. however, your muse absolutely had more quality time with his mom. cas worked crazy hours and every case consumed him, but hopefully, your muse can remember those late nights after being woken up by a nightmare, running down to his study, and cuddling with his dad by the fire. when your muse came out to him as trans, cas simply grabbed his face, kissed him on the forehead, and told him ‘i love you son’. he also insisted on helping your muse rename himself to his true name, since he wanted that name to mean more than his old deadname. as he got older, cas told your muse of his own struggle with his identity and coming to terms with the fact he was bisexual. though cas would never admit it, your muse and his relationship was closer than either of his other children. however, after the accident that took your muse’s mom, cas has changed. he has completely gone into work mode. has your muse even spoken to him lately? also, he has removed all the photos of iris and won’t even speak her name. has your muse come back from college to take care of him since he has only gotten worse these past two years? maybe he never left but can’t bring himself to continue trying to speak to a brick wall. does your muse miss hearing cas call him 'mi hijo’? let’s see where these two end up.

What to do when struck on a topic of WBCS
Introduction:
A topic or sub-topic is often stuck in the mind of any candidate preparing for competitive exams like the WBCS. It could be a tricky concept in history or a confusing formula in math. But the most important issue is that this could break your smooth study flow. On the other hand, it is the best WBCS coaching institute in Kolkata, Avision Institute, trains students with effective strategies to eliminate such obstacles and keep moving.
The ultimate guide to how to deal with when you're stuck on a WBCS topic is this.
1. De-stress by reviewing the basics
At times it happens just because the base isn't strong. Even in case of getting stuck, reviewing the basics of that topic is helpful. Relieving older notes and beginner level resources prove useful in this case. Students in Avision Institute are always advised to frequently review the basics, which is a part of the study plan presented by top WBCS coaching in Kolkata.
2. Break the Topic Down
Large problems can be overwhelming if contemplated as a single unit. If you feel that you can't cope with it, then split the subject matter into little sections. Systematically go through each little part and attempt to grasp one aspect at any given time. Most of the time, breaking massive subjects into minute parts makes it easier to get a comprehensive understanding of the whole concept in the long run.
3. Seek input
Another biggest advantage of joining a coaching institute is that the faculty is expert, and you can get hold of them immediately. If you feel that there is some problem or issue related to a particular topic, then you can seek their help at once. To ensure that no student remains puzzled for too long at Avision Institute, doubt-clearing sessions are incorporated as a part of the curriculum by the coaching institutes. The sooner you seek help the sooner the little confusions do not become big obstacles.
4. Participate in Group Discussions
Another method is reading or studying alone. This, at times, increases the feelings of being stuck. Group discussion or study sessions with peers are good to be done to understand the topic from a different perspective. Someone else may well express the concept in a manner that makes more sense to you. Group learning can be a mighty tool when overcoming obstacles. Avision Institute fosters students' learning with each other in a team environment and, because of that, makes it stand out as one among the best WBCS coaching in Kolkata.
5. Additional Resources
If those textbooks or notes aren't working, try supplementing your learning with other study materials. Sometimes you hear a different explanation or approach in online videos, tutorials, and articles that just clicks with you. Most of the time, supplementing your learning with these resources provides that ultimate "aha! moment when you cannot seem to get your head around something.
6. Take a Short Break
Sometimes you hit a mental block, and if you push too long, you will get burned out. That is all you need to come back to it with a fresh perspective. Sometimes getting out of there for a few minutes, taking a walk, doing some breathing exercises, even if it's a power nap, you come back, and in most cases, everything will fall into place when you start back over the topic with a relaxed mindset.
7. Try Teaching the Topic
One of the most effective ways to secure that grasp would be teaching it to someone else-whether that person is a friend, a family member, or talking out loud to yourself. Taking time away from writing down how it works and instead speaking out the topic in one's own words can even identify those gaps in knowledge and solidify what he or she does know. This also helps break up complex ideas into simpler terminology and aids in understandability.
8. Consistency in Practice
The topic will be more problem-solving or numerical if it is. Regular practice attempts at mock tests can act as a weapon over challenges. Though you are stuck at this moment, practice consistently can make you master it in time. Avision Institute has various forms of mock tests and practice materials to guarantee students get well geared for all the aspects of WBCS.
9. Panic Not—It Is a Phase
One gets stuck, and it is part of the game in learning, especially in preparation for competitive exams such as WBCS. Instead of panicking, tell yourself that everyone gets stuck. The way out of it, though, is to remain unbroken and make use of tools and strategies that are there. Success at the WBCS exam is certainly not getting stuck but knowing how to get out of being stuck.
Conclusion
When you are preparing for the WBCS exam, then facing several difficult topics, that makes you believe that you are not able to cross any hurdle. But if you have some systematic approach with proper material, then you can somehow overcome those barriers. If you revisit your base and try to seek help from an expert, then being honest with your efforts, then you can push through anything. The best WBCS coaching in India, such as Avision Institute, would provide not only academic preparation but also support and strategies to face difficult topics with confidence. All in all, patience with dedication will certainly follow success.
