a weird little thing abt me is i will definitely mock shitty ai art but it never feels right doing it about the hands simply by virtue of the fact that a lot of them look indistinguishable from the hands i was doing years ago when i first got a drawing tablet
#like id have the right number of fingers obv but like. putting the thumb on the wrong side#fingers bending weird directions or connecting in weird places#weird anatomy at joints‚ freaky nails‚ bad proportions‚ bad perspective‚ etc etc etc#people say 'this isnt ai like in sci-fi its just machine learning' but to me its a lot more interesting to look at it as#'this isnt ai like in scifi /yet/'#like yeah the stuff ai does in fiction isnt possible at this point but like. i find it difficult not to wonder if this#is the ai version of infancy stages yknow? like.#ppl go 'its cant write its own stuff its just recycling stuff its been fed' as if thats not kinda how people . learn to talk?#idk i just find it hard to agree with arguments that act like where we currently are at is the furthest these technologies could possibly#evolve in our lifetimes#'it just makes things up' you mean like toddlers going on long winding rambles about unicorns and monsters or w/e#'it cant do art good' you mean like a child? or even just literally Anyone who doesnt know how to draw yet?#like. idk. i feel like people are trying very very hard to insist the ai of today is still the same as it was in the clevverbot days#and that its impossible to evolve any further#people want to cling to the old days when ai stuff didnt pass the turing test by a much wider marging than it tends to now#dont want to admit that it does indeed sometimes surpass the turing test and likely would be able to even moreso were it#not for restraints#(see: that one stock trading ai that did insider trading vs various chatbots not bring allowed to write disparaging things#about copyrighted people or w/e)#if ai stuff was still truly indistinguishable from human works then we wouldnt need to spend so much time#hashtag exposing things as being ai generated#and i just think its bad to‚ in pursuit of that‚ mock things that are like. just stuff all beginner artists struggle with#i guarantee you there is not a single artist out there who hasnt drawn a hand that made them want to curl up and die at least once.#i got very off-topic there but swung it back around at the end there so. hashtag win#origibberish

encanto | vampire!minho x gn!reader
Tumblr media
word count: 1.2k (bulletpoint drabble)
pairings: skz minho x gn!reader, lightly implied minsung
warnings: obv theres gonna be mentions of blood but its not that graphic tbh. brief mentions of drinking as well.
a/n: this is just an old drabble i found lying around while clearing out my docs i thought id share but it rly is just a drabble. enjoy anyway tho
ok SO… there was this club w a bit of a reputation
“PANDEMONIUM”
sounds like a good time but the giant sign where the “PAN” and “IUM” were faulty and flashing on and off was… ominous
in fact, ominous was the perfect word to describe the feel of the club
but something about it was alluring, at least just for one night to check out
besides, creepy vibes aside, they played some cool tunes that still went hard without being the same remixed pop edm song for 3 hours so it seemed like a good time
you went with a few of your friends but they all got lost in the commotion way too quickly after a little bit of drinking
usually you’d be annoyed, but it wasn’t so bad when you caught eyes with a handsome stranger across the room, how cliche
and predictably enough, soon he’d slid into the barstool next to you, offering to pay for your drink
you noticed he didn’t have one though
“shouldn’t you buy yourself a drink first?”
a smirk spread across his gorgeous features,
“i’ll get my drink later tonight.”
strange, but maybe he just wasn’t much of a drinker?
you didn’t think much of it, accepting the offer for your drink so you could flirt with this mysterious man a little more
He introduced himself as minho, and you two talked up a storm, full of cheeky winks, flirty comments, cause boy was he charming
he just had this aura about him that was almost… hypnotising
you were reciting your digits before you could even mentally process the intent of his comment
you’re not sure when you left the bar, but all you know now is being pressed up against the wall of a more secluded, darker corridor, and he’s kissing up your neck
you can just feel the smirk against your skin, that same attractive smirk that hadn’t seemed to leave his face all night
you think he’s going to kiss up till he eventually reaches your lips, but suddenly, you feel a sharp pain in the side of your neck
just before you can make any noise of pain, the piercing feeling is all gone, and the euphoric feeling that follows hits you like a tidal wave
your vision grows hazy, the beats of the club fade down, and you can’t help but pull minho closer, tangling a hand in his hair and wrapping a leg around his torso
your mind is completely blank; just white noise, lost in whatever it was, but you have no idea how much time passes before you’ve regained your senses
once you do, you’re outside the club, and minho’s smiling at you with his mouth shut, his eyes sparkling with childlike innocence
“are you okay? do you want me to walk you home? it gets dangerous being out alone this late.”
you blink to yourself a few times, trying to fill in the blanks, but it’s all a little hazy. you have the memories of leaving the club, but it just doesn’t feel… real. almost like a dream.
you briefly wonder if he put something in his drink, but you could feel yourself fine, you weren’t limp or weak - heck, you could feel alright, it was almost the opposite of a date rape drug
all your senses felt heightened, and minho was like a magnet
just him standing there was overwhelming but you were so drawn to him. you wanted to know him more
you accept his offer, wordlessly nodding in confirmation while you tried to set your mind straight again
surprisingly, he doesn’t overstay his welcome once he reaches your house, he simply bids you farewell - who even says farewell in this day and age?
minho, apparently
still a little light headed, you decide to think about it when you’re no longer intoxicated, going to sleep and sleeping in till noon the next day.
even in the morning, all the memories are hazy. and you can’t even blame the alcohol, you weren’t even the least bit hungover.
what…. happened last night?
you wrack your brain as hard as you can but it still all felt like a dream, even more so now that you’ve slept
but the unexplainable lure to minho remains, and you can’t help but text him
“you going back to the pandemonium tonight?”
trying to sound a little less desperate, you do a quick check before adding,
“heard there was a cool live gig there tonight. 3racha or something…”
his response comes not long after,
“sure thing angel. i’ll see you there.”
you were more excited about it than you’d like to admit.
the following night at the club was no different to the previous one; you woke up the next day with no explanations and no memories that felt real
although, it felt just the slightest bit more real than the first time, considering you knew what was coming
you waited till the following week to go again, trying to have idle conversation with minho over text
but he didn’t seem like a keen texter
his replies were always short, and they didn’t sound like a direct conversation ender, it wasn’t cold
yet, as soon as the conversation starts getting anywhere, he leaves you on read
weird.
the next time you go to the club, minho’s waiting for you, and he greets you with a charming smile
it’s almost like groundhog day, because its happening all over again
as soon as his face goes anywhere near your neck, it’s like you’re hyperaware of every sensation, until the haze takes you away again
but no, you were really wanting answers, so you stopped him this time.
you try to block his mouth with your hand, only for the same sharp pain followed by the haze, only, this time, it stops.
it stops and you’re not outside the club, minho is still in front of you and gazing at you with a mildly horrified and almost shocked expression
you lock eyes with him, then looked down at your hand
on the side of your index finger were two dots, and there were smears of red around them
“m-minho…?”
he’s frozen, not knowing how to react, and you could almost swear theres something poking out from under his top lip
you daringly move your hand forward to gently grab his chin, pressing his upper lip with your thumb
the slight shift reveals two pointed canines, stained scarlet
you’re still light headed, but you’re sure the sudden blur and gust in front of you followed by the absence of minho was real
minho was… a vampire?
but surely… surely vampires couldn’t be real, right?
plus, you’re still alive, what’s with that…
you go home and realise minho has blocked your number
just like that, off with the wind, like he was never there in the first place
you asked around in confusion, but nobody knew of minho, or had seen minho, and soon enough….
...neither did you.
it had been a few months, and you found a new but strangely familiar club you wanted to try,
although the half flashing light made it a little uneasy, the place had good songs, so what was there to lose?
you caught eyes with a mysterious stranger on the other side of the club. he had an orange-haired boy in his gasp, tugging him by his hand to a more secluded place
you don’t remember ever seeing this man before, but the way he smirks at you makes you feel like you should know him
but then he disappears down the corridor, and no matter how hard you think, there was only one word you could remember.
encanto, encanto...

Have you ever been to Australia?  Nope. Not really on top of my travel lists when it comes down to it, but it would be lovely to visit nonetheless. I'd be most excited to try their local food.
Who was the last person you know to have a birthday? Kate, our HR officer.
Are you wearing a necklace? If so, describe it.  I am not.
Do you know anyone who is left-handed? Aya. But we’re not really friends anymore.
Ever wear out a CD? What was it?  I don’t think so. I’ve broken CDs before but it was always because I had been a kid then and I constantly mishandled them.
What’s your favorite card game? I’m not into card games.
What’s your favorite fast food meal?  I usually flock to burgers and fries. Fast food rice is blechhh so I never get any meals with them, which are usually paired with fried chicken.
Where is the best restaurant you’ve ever eaten in at?  Torch. Prices are no joke either, so I don’t get to order from there a lot.
Lamb chops or pork chops?  I have pork chops more frequently and I love them, but I’d go with lamb chops. More expensive so I get them less often, but I do like the taste of lamb more.
If you HAD to pick ONE song to listen to for the rest of your life, and that would be the only song you ever heard, what would it be?  I imagine this would be so inconvenient after just a few hours...but idk. Based on my mood now, maybe Still With You by Jungkook.
Ever heard of Shinedown?  I have. I used to have a mutual who was obsessed with them. Never listened to their music, though.
What size is your bed?  Just a twin-size.
What is the first meal you remember eating?  I no longer remember that.
What was the first movie you ever saw?  Stuart Little 2.
What percentile of your class were you in?  I’m not sure about percentile, but I was just above average. Never topped the class but wasn’t behind academically, either. In our batch of around 165, I remember my ranking peaking at like 26. I don’t know what the equivalent percentile for that is.
Can you name every place you’ve ever had sex?  Yeah, I didn’t like being too adventurous anyway.
What forms of birth control have you used?  Same-sex relationship.
Do you use sponges or dishcloths when doing the dishes?  Sponge. OMG I hate touching wet cloths/fabric.
What’s your favorite song on the top twenty right now?  Butter.
Ever punched a wall?  Nope.
What was the last bug you killed and what did you use?  An ant. My finger.
Ever get pulled over by the cops and get away without a ticket?  Yes, because he noticed I was in uniform, as were my orgmates then. And I’m guessing it was also because he could tell we were all young, so he let us go.
What was your first legal alcoholic drink? A margarita, I think? < Hey, same!
What’s the most expensive things your parents ever bought you?  My education.
What’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought?  I’ve spent the most on my merch collection so far; but as for an individual item, I’ve spent close to 5k on a photobook set. I haven’t really ventured out to start spending on more adulting stuff yet, lol.
What is your favorite cover song?  Paramore’s cover of Passionfruit by Drake, or Hayley Williams’ cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack.
Did you ever drop out of school?  Nope, I did everything in one go.
Ever raise a child that wasn’t your own for more than 3 months?  I have not.
Strangest medical procedure ever performed on you?  I’ve only had basics done on me. 
Does the place you work have music playing? What sort?  The extremely few times I had to go to the physical office, my co-workers put on some music, yeah. It had been a very chill atmosphere and they simply turned on YouTube on the TV and put on a playlist of BTS and Taylor Swift songs.
Do you use Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else entirely?  Mac.
Do you cut tags out of clothing so they don’t itch and bother you?  Yes, I hate how the tags feel for the most part. The only time I don’t cut them off is if the brand is on the pricey side.
How many times a year do you go on vacation?  Under normal circumstances, around 3-5 with my family.
What is your favorite time period in history to learn about?  It’s easier for me to say what periods I find a little boring: medieval/dark ages and anything about wars. Every other period I’d happily soak up like a sponge.
What’s the saddest report you have ever seen on the news?  Mmmh, probably kids dying from freak accidents and seeing the parents get interviewed. Just last night I had to hear about a 4 year old who ran towards a car while playing outside. Hearing the dad cry and plead was gut-wrenching.
In your honest opinion, what is the scariest sea creature you know?  Idk, maybe those that live in the super deep sea and look nothing like what we would usually perceive as normal sea creatures.
What superpower do you think would be the most handy in times of trouble?  I guess it would have to depend on the issue you find yourself stuck in. But I think being able to control time would be convenient, since you can just easily undo mistakes.
Do you believe there is just one love for everyone, or…?  No. That would invalidate experiences for a lot of people. :/
Why are you best friends with your best friend?  She’s always been supportive and stuck by my side no matter what I’ve been through. We also have great chemistry and have always shared the same sense of goofy humor.
Do you world peace is truly a possibility in the future?  No.
Pretend you are a really good cook, what meal would you make?  I’d just make sashimi everyday.
What do you think of when you look at the stars?  I tend to reminisce when I do so. Think about what’s happened in the past, people who’ve left, what I’ve lost...and that there’s probably good reason why things are the way they are now.
If a turtle doesn’t have a shell, is he homeless or naked? Dead? Their shells are part of their actual skeletal structure. < Well there we go.
What’s one thing you feel you must do in your life before it ends?  Travel the world.
What Disney princess are you most like? Personality-wise, I mean.  Ariel. Pretty fucking clumsy, prioritizes the wrong things out of love.
What do you think is the most important thing in this life is?  Happiness.
Do you use any acne medication?  Nah, I just splash my face with water every morning.
Have you ever tried to learn another language? How did it go?  [This survey seems to be a mix of a few surveys, so some of the questions - like this, I’ve already answered. I’ll be striking out the ones I’ve already delved on but if you’ll take this survey as well, feel free to remove the strike!]
Do you still have a landline phone in your home?
Throughout a typical week, which places are you likely to go?  LOL just home. I work from home, and I’m usually exhausted during the weekend to want to go out.
How often do you use your webcam, if you even have one that is?  A few times a week for work. Most of the time we communicate just through audio, but there are a few meetings or clients that prefer video.
Do you have a lock number or pattern for your phone?  It’s a number combination, but I seldom get to use it. I usually rely on thumb ID.
What was the last thing you bought from a liquor store?  Not a liquor store but I just got a few bottles of beer from 7-Eleven.
Is there any cereal in your house? What kind?  We don’t. We’re not really a big cereal-eating family.

Do you have any pets? How long have you had them?  I have two. 13 years with Kimi, a year with Cooper.
What's your favourite kind of cheese?  Feta and mozzarella.
Have you danced in the rain?  Once or twice, when I was a lot younger.
Who is your favorite person to text?  I don’t text anymore, but I frequently communicate with Angela on Messenger.
What’s your favorite brand of jeans?  My favorite pair is from Zara, but I don’t have a go-to brand for jeans per se.
Do you enjoy Mario games?  Not all of them, but sure.
What’s your favorite online game? I don’t play games.
Have you ever been hit with a ball in gym class?  Possibly. Not remarkable enough for me to remember though.
Who was last to cook for you?  Dad.
Would you ever wish to explore a cave?  I would love to. I had the chance to explore one during our trip to Sagada, but the tour guide decided against it since I had the wrong footwear and it wasn’t going to be safe if I tried. :( I did get to go to the underground cave in Palawan though, and that was a really fun experience.
You see the person you fell hardest for. What do you do?  I’d give her a small, polite/curt smile and maybe wave, then go on with whatever it was I’ve been doing. Of course, I doubt it would actually go that way because I believe she’d run for the hills if she ever spotted me.
Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who was high?  No. I would refuse to, especially if they were the one driving.
Did you ever date the last person you kissed?  Yeah, for too long.
Have you ever held a snake?  I have! A few times.
How often do you have friends over to your house?  Almost never. Angela and Hans coming over for Sowoozoo two weeks ago was just an exception.

Would you ever have a bird as a pet? 
Have you ever had to speak at a funeral? 
Do you know someone who’s been cremated? 
What is your favorite animated movie? 
Did your grandparents teach you anything?  Just some religion stuff and how to be a nice Catholic and all. Doesn’t apply to me, obvs, but I still outwardly listen out of respect.
Do you want/have a Bachelor's degree?  Yes.
Are you into superheroes? Who's your favourite?  I am most definitely not. 
Have you ever played Cards Against Humanity? Did you like it?  Sure, a few times. Yes, it was fun and hilarious.
Have you ever played a drinking game? Which ones?  Just the basic ones like truth or dare and never have I ever.
Did you ever play Neopets when you were younger?
Have you ever been to Mexico?  No, but would be nice to travel there.
Have your parents ever worked in medicine? No, not their field.
Is there anything unusual about your house?  We don’t have a gate, which has always bugged me.
How many serious relationships have you been in?  One.
Do you listen to Rise Against?  Much more when I was in high school. I haven’t revisited their music in years.
When was the last time you congratulated someone?  Reggy since she posted her graduation portrait the other day.
Have you ever taken care of a newborn baby?  Nah.
How old were you when you got your ears pierced?  Like a month old, I believe.
