I wonder who taught 18 how to sense ki? 🤔

[maximura]

Actually, my favourite fact about NI-KI is that he brought his own toaster oven to the Studio Choom "Artist Of The Month" recording because they had to film for 14 hours and he wanted perfectly toasted bread. I have to respect the dedication to both craft and carbs.

I just couldn't pick one character, so here are pairs that are my all time favourites.

It was so hard to pick favs, and after I came up with this list I realised that I picked from Korean and Taiwanese BLs, but that doesn't mean I have any favs from Thai BL. Others I would have loved to put on this list- Ayan from The Eclipse, Boston from Only Friends, Tang Yi from HIStory 3: Trapped Charn from Laws of Attraction and many more.

SHIN KI TAE BEING MESMERIZED BY LEE WAN...

OUR DATING SIM (2023, SOUTH KOREAN)

Shin Ki Tae (LEE SEUNG GYU) was overwhelmed by Lee Wan's (LEE JONG HYUK) confession in high school and his subsequent reaction caused Lee Wan to flee.

Shin Ki Tae reconnected with Lee Wan through the latters cartoon blog well before a face to face reunion took place.

7 years after the confession Shin Ki Tae lured Lee Wan out of hiding via a job proposal as an illustrator for gaming company creating a dating simulation app.

Initially a bit cold Shin Ki Tae finally returned the confession but could Lee Wan (still pining for his high school first love) believe that Shin Ki Tae returned his feelings after what Lee Wan felt as rejection 7 Years Ago.

What the Hell is Wizard101 (and Pirate101)

I'm making this post for the lovely @ellazimmermansblog, who is very sweet and wants to actually have half a clue what's going on in the fandom that I'm in but she's not. And oh sweet cheese and crackers. You asked for it. I tried to leave this in the comments. I really did. This is gonna get long, so feel free to read this in chunks or disregard it or just read it whenever you get the time.

Genre:

Wizard101 is a JRPG or junior-role-playing game that's also an MMO or Massive Multiplayer Online game that was big in the 2010s. In case you don't know what those are:

A JRPG is a game where you basically play as the protagonist of a middle grade fantasy/adventure story, meaning the target audience is usually 7-13. Think Pokemon or Kingdom Hearts.

An MMO is a game where everybody who plays the game is playing at the same time, in the same world. You can always interact with other players and are heavily encouraged to team up and collobarate.

While it is advertised as "free to play," it's only free for like the first hour or so of playtime. You can do the tutorial and like two other areas before you have to fork over some cash for a membership.

Basic Story:

Anyway, the spoiler-free story of Wizard101 is that you are a young Wizard enrolled in Ravenwood School of Magic by Headmaster Ambrose. He found you magically transported from "a strange world that doesn't believe in magic" (read: Earth). He believes you may be "the one we've been searching for." After doing a personality quiz to decide which school of magic you belong to, your enrollment is immediately crashed by Malistaire Drake. He used to be the Professor for the Death School, until his wife fell ill and he went mad with grief and turned evil trying to bring her back.

After beating up your would-be teacher, you learn that he's been unleashing scores of undead onto Wizard City, mind-controlling people, is going after major infrastructure, and is just being a dick in general because he's eeeeeeeeviiiiil. Ambrose turns you loose in the streets to help a number of other student NPCs save the city and do general damage control.

The main story of Arc 1 basically has you trekking after Malistaire like a lunatic, cleaning up his messes and trying to stop him from breaking the world apart while he attempts to ressurect his wife. This is where me and my brother J-Dog are at in our playthrough.

But there are 4 arcs, and the story continues WELL after you mop up the Malistaire problem. It's basically the Young Wizard saving the spiral from major threat after major threat, trekking through quirky worlds willy-nilly, and meeting a massive and entertaining cast of NPCs, all with different motivations and sidequests and problems for you to solve (or cause).

Each world in the spiral is also kind of an analogy for a real life place or a popular fictional story, but you replace all the humans with anthropomorphic animals (I'm really not sure why this game isn't more popular with furries). Marleybone, for example, which is where my brother and I are right now, is analagous to Victorian era England and populated by a bunch of stiff-upper-lipped dogs that nobody likes, mutliple crime rings of cats, and a contingent of Irish foxes that only appear in the less-popular but very good companion game: Pirate101 (I'll get to that).

That's the most basic I can make the gist, but there's still a lot of other basic information that might matter when I talk about it, so I'll put that under a cut!

Magic Basics:

The 7 main schools of magic that you can play as, and what they're general purpose/ability is are as follows:

Storm: Hit things really hard in exchange for a low accuracy rate and lower base HP. Glass cannons basically. This is what I'm playing as.

Fire: Also hitting things, but focuses more on damage-over-time spells that kill your enemies slowly.

Ice: Damage Sponge. They have the highest natural health pool, access to some decent spells early on to reduce damage, and even have a taunt spell that can draw enemy fire onto them (this isn't very useful in practice from what I've heard).

Those are the three elemental schools. The next three are spirit schools.

Life: Healers. What did you expect? They're the only class with the ability to heal other players. They get a high health pool, really good accuracy, and a lot of healing spells, but they're less good at hitting things and dealing damage. This is what J-Dog is playing as.

Myth: Summons. You can summon lots of different minions to help you out. From what I understand, each minion plays slightly differently and you're supposed to build different strategies around what they give you.

Death: Drains. Stealing health from the enemy basically. A lot of their spells will hit the enemy really hard, and then give half of that back to you. Because of the capability to hurt and heal in the same turn, they're the best to solo the game with.

And finally there is a school that lives in between Elemental and Spiritual:

Balance: battlefield control. They have a lot of damage increasers and damage reducers, and have the capability to mess with the powers of any of the other schools.

While each class does have it's unique and specific niche, they do all have the same main function: summon a monster to hit your enemy. All the combat in the game is done in a summoning circle where you take turns summoning monsters to hit each other. Each side can have up to 4 allies at a time (are we sensing a number theme yet).

Each enemy in the game has an assigned school that they belong to. Casting spells from the same school as them does less damage, while spells from the opposite school are stronger. Opposites are as follows:

Life and Death

Fire and Ice

Myth and Storm

Balance is a special snowflake that has no opposite :)

Your ability to cast spells depends on your Mana, which can be restored with blue wisps of magic floating around the world. Your ability to not be dead depends on your health, which can be restored with red health wisps.

Most spells that you cast, especially damaging spells, have a chance to "fizzle" or fail to cast. It's like missing in a pokemon game. This is the bane of every player's existence.

There are also Astral Schools later that do other things, but I ain't got there yet, so it's whatever.

Extracurriculars:

There are a number of other fun things you can do in Wizard101 that don't involve saving the world:

PvP: player versus player combat! Get the shit beaten out of you by people with more time and money! For fun! Beat the shit out of other people and win arena tickets, which can buy you cool prizes like better gear!

Pets: You can have a number of adorable little animal companions that, if you take good care of, will help you in combat! Some of them cast spells on their own, some of them give you extra spells to cast, some of them have passive abilities that increase your strength, and all of them will get more helpful the more you train them. You train them via minigames, like teaching them to dance or having them eat snacks off a stage or FIRING THEM OUT OF CANONS (amongst other questionable activities).

Gardening: Take care of the weirdest assortment of magical plants you've ever seen, in exchange for harvesting them for money and crafting ingredients and treasure cards and stuff. All of them are puns btw. Like. I have laugh-o-dils, despairagus, baby carrots (literal screaming baby carrots in diapers), and dandelions (which have actual lion faces) to name a few.

Fishing: Pull weird magical pun-based fish out of the water and sell them for exorbitant amounts of cash or stick them in your aquarium or something!

Monstrology: Study various creature types by killing them a lot until you become an expert and can either summon them as minions, stick them in your house, or just get EXTRA good at killing them.

Crafting: Use natural ingredients you found across the spiral (reagents) to make better gear yourself!

There's also photomancy, but that's just a glorified screenshot feature and we all know it.

NPCs:

Me and everybody else who plays this game is fucking obsessed with all of the non-player characters in both games. There are so many of them though, and they're so different from each other, that you're better off just asking who's who every time I post about one.

Pirate101:

While the Wizard is off being a tragic chosen one saving the spiral from various world-ending threats, there are other adventures going on underneath their nose! Pirate101 takes place at the same time and in the same universe as Wizard101, but never interacts beyond vague references.

The basic spoiler-free plot of this one is that you are a young orphan who got thrown into prison after crossing the Clockwork Armada, a tyrannical army of steampunk clockwork robots who want to conquer the world and end our God Given Right to steal shiny things (and also suppress free will or something. Idk. I never got that far).

You're broken out of jail by eccentric pirate captain Boochbeard and his monkey first mate Mr. Gandry, drag a fellow captive along with you, beat up one of the high-ranking members of the Armada, and are taken to the pirate safe haven of skull island. You're introduced to it's steward, the successful and retired pirate Captain Avery, who immediately enlists you as his errand boy/girl/goblin thing. You meet one of the first companions of your crew, Bonnie Anne, and together you run some turncoat sharks out of town.

After proving yourself to Avery and getting swindled out of a real ship, you basically spend the rest of the game chasing after untold gold and riches, beating up the Clockwork Armada, and helping out unfortunate souls where you can.

The critical difference between wizard and pirate though: The wizard makes temporary NPC acquaintances and even a few true friends, but they're always left to fight alone with just themselves (and a few other wizards if you're playing the game multiplayer, as intended). Meanwhile, the pirate is collecting ragtag companions for their motley crew like they're pokemon cards. Some of them are looking for adventure, others money, others freedom or a new life, and a lot of them just feel like they owe you because you beat them up.

All of these NPCs join your crew and you can have up to 3 of them in a fight with you, in addition to a pet. They all have highly entertainig personalities and different sets of abilities that are useful in different scenarios.

Pirate101's combat is much more up close and personal, playing more like chess where you have a bunch of different pieces that you have to strategically move around to hit different attacks with.

The different classes of pirate, which are determined by which crime got you in jail at the beginning of the game, are as follows:

Musketeers (my fave): guns and traps. The idea is that you don't have to get too close with them.

Witchdoctor: magic! They function sort of similarly to wizards in wizard101, but they can also hit things over the head with their staff and get stabbed, so no they don't.

Privateers: Healing, boosting, and commanding other pirates

Bucanners: Big sword that hits one thing very hard (and also big defense) at the cost of more agility and freedom to move.

Swashbuckler: Also hitting things, but less defense and health in exchange for more agility.

Pirate101 also has ship combat. While Wizard has convenient magical teleporters to move you between worlds, Pirate101 said "get in your boat and drive there yourself." You basically fire canonballs at each other until one ship gets damaged so badly it stops moving and gets boarded, at which point you transition to regular combat.

Pirate101 is in general, the neglected younger sibling. Kingsisle doesn't pay a quarter as much attention to Pirate, but it's still really good.

Apart from the companions and the combat, the biggest difference in pirate is probably your lack of supervision. You don't constantly have people glaring over your shoulder and telling you what to do, you just have a ragtag gang of misfits and a general order to "get money, don't die, and don't be a dick." The pirates get to be very chaotic in comparison to the wizards.

Holy mackeral, that was a lot. Anyway, I played both games a lot as a kid and spent my summer allowance on memberships for them. Now that I have an adult brain and adult money and am a lot better at video games, I have returned to enjoy them again, and I am dragging my brother along with me (don't worry, he's having fun too).

I highly recommend that you play them both, they're very fun. But this post should be a good guideline if you don't want to put that much investment into it, but still want to have half a clue what I'm talking about when I bring up either game. Thanks so much for asking!

So . . . Ji jumped in the middle of the fight and got hit by Achi and then got upset about it?! Call me Pear because I am just as confused as homegirl was.

Make it make sense, Mary! Pear called Ji because Achi was in a fight. Ji ran into the middle of the fight while Achi was swinging, got hit, and got upset. Ask girlie in the back for the recording because I need this replayed and zoomed in, so Ji can see HE IS THE PROBLEM!

I am 100% on Achi's side about everything. Even if Achi left in the middle of the night to Chicago without telling Ji, I can't blame him because I'd leave this Blue Boy too!

It's obvious Achi is in love with Ji. HE WEARS JI'S COLOR!

His entire room was blue!

They were even gonna raise a dog together which would have been the perfect time for Ji to tell Achi that he wasn't dating Pear pero nooooo, homie kept his mouth shut!

Achi keeps lightening up from his usual black, bringing Ji food in color-coded containers, and being an all-around good guy.

But Ji couldn't even tell Achi that he wasn't dating Pear yet demanded Achi always tell the truth! Achi was IN LOVE yet Ji was being a hypocrite.

Ki better not treat his Green Guy the same way his brother has treated Achi. He better apologize to my boy for snapping at him. RIGHT NOW!

And Ji better apologize to Achi too for being a jerk ALL THE TIME! Sleeping on the bed like that warrants at least three apologies!

Yet he is probably gonna eff up next week by avoiding Achi because of Achi's manager. Once again, I do not care if these two slept together, said they loved each other forever and ever, then Achi ghosted him in the past. With all the certainty in my body, I KNOW Ji messed up somewhere to make Achi leave.

Only two more episodes, yet I need Ji and Ki to spend a full episode in timeout thinking about their bad choices.

Oh, brother!

Would Batman be capable of sneaking up on Son Goku, or any of the Z-Warriors (Vegeta, Son Gohan, Piccolo, Eighteen, Krillin, Tenshinhan, Yamcha & Majin Boo) in your opinion?

To clarify; I don’t mean “who would win in a fight” - I’m speaking solely of the Z-Fighter’s ability to sense people - would Bruce, or any of the related Bat-family heroes, be able to get the drop on any of them in the trademark Batman manner?

If my memory is correct, Batman has an understanding of ki from his training. So, he would know how to mask his presence similar to the Z Fighters concealing their ki so he can be very stealthy. So, I think Batman & some of the Bat-fam could sneak up on all of them.

Although, I think Vegeta & Gohan would be the easiest to sneak up on. This is due to Vegeta not knowing Trunks could turn SSJ despite living in the same house & Gohan not knowing Goten could turn SSJ despite living in the same house. I think Goten & Trunks would be easy to sneak up on too because they aren't really martial artists like the others & don't have in-depth spiritual training. And I believe that Saiyans have more difficulty sensing ki due to the spiritual side not being their strong point (other than Goku who was raised as an Earthling martial artist).

I believe that the others Z Fighters are a bit more aware of their surroundings mainly due to their training under Kami. But, I think Piccolo would probably be the most difficult to sneak up on since as a Warrior Clan Namekian. He is often always aware of his surroundings and has greater hearing than the rest of the Z Fighters. So, the Bat-fam would have the most difficulty with Piccolo unless they use a device that masks their movement at a pitch Piccolo can't hear (or something like that).

Krillin might be the most aware after Piccolo due to Krillin always being around 18. She may have undetectable energy signatures, but it's just as if 18 is always suppressing her energy since she can donate to the Genki Dama (she obviously has life energy because she is alive). So, Krillin has become used to being around a that person most, if not all but him, can't sense.

Dabura is an example of a person who can sense others despite them suppressing their ki. From what I can conclude, it seems Dabura sensed their living presence (a different part of ki that is always present for living beings even if faint) rather than sensing their suppressed battle power.

So, Krillin would more than likely be more aware of suppressed ki than the others due to being able to sense 18's presence. But, Piccolo is still the most difficult to sneak upon for the Bat-fam due to his alertness & super hearing.

Forgot to talk about Buu. I don't think it would be too difficult to sneak up on Buu. But it depends on if he is distracted, asleep, or just being unconcerned. Buu is usually laid back now. So, if the Bat-fam wanted, they can sneak up on him easily by distraction. But being found out would be scary.

His Lips, Your Addiction

As his kisses cover your neck,

exploring, teasing, tickling, sucking,

traveling through the expanse of your body, your skin

Your mind was lost in a paradise unknown

Soft, plump, aggressive,

loving, needy, hungry

delicate,

An everlasting buzz in your system

When he smiles, when he laughs, his adorable pout, when he's sharing intimate secrets or the daily workplace drama

As he towers over you, whispering sweet promises of eternity, bodies entwined in passion

It's all you can think about

His beautiful plump lips

And the power they hold over you

Song Mingi, Choi Yeonjun, Nishimura Riki, Hwang Hyunjin

[asianfrootloops]

this is the second time this week I went for a movie which started out fun and campy and then BOOM patriarchy ruins everything

[destiny-in-the-universe]

I just barely started episode four of Tale of the Nine Tailed (season one), and genuinely, Lee Rang is a walking example of BPD. His attachment and abandonment issues, reckless behaviors to get Lee Yeon’s attention, whatever he has going in with Ki Yu Ri (like I’m pretty sure they have a friends with benefits thing going on-).

Let me say it again: Lee Rang has Borderline Personality Disorder. (Obviously this is just a headcanon. You don’t have to agree with me!)

I just think it’s neat as in I have it and I will project on my favorite.

I also wanted to let everyone know I made it safely to the hotel. It’s been a literal odyssey; Lee Rang is my blorbo right now, among others grrr.

Peace out.
