#me trying to figure out what they are talking about: 👁️👄👁️

[ugartecoco]

[ryusuisloveinterest]

Hello! How are you my dear?

I came back with a new request! This time with a little mix up of fandom, hopefully that's ok?

I was thinking about the boys receiving a kiss on the cheek from their crush for the first time!

Could please write for ryusui (Dr stone) and tecchou ( bungou stray dogs)?

Thank you!

Oh my goodness anon I’m so sorry that I took so long to write back! My life has been so busy and I just blanked out on what I should write! I hope you can forgive me and please enjoy 💖

Ryusui and Tecchou when they receive a kiss from their crush💕

Ryusui: pre petrification 

Ryusui invited you to his home cinema to watch your favorite movie because he’s somehow never seen it before

Everything is set up perfectly: he has your favorite snacks, a cozy blanket for both of you to share, drinks, the best luxury recliners known to man

Today was the day he was finally going to do it, he was going to ask you to be his!

When you arrive he greets you excitedly and escorts you to the theatre 

That’s when everything goes wrong💀

First he spills the popcorn on the floor

Then when he hands you your drink, his hand slips making it fall all over you 

After you got into a new pair of clothes his a/c went out so it was extremely hot in there 

THEN the movie kept acting weird so he had to keep trying to figure out what was wrong with the projector 

But after the whole catastrophe, you both finally sat down and enjoyed the movie 

Your “favorite” movie

“Wow (y/n)! This movie was amazing! No wonder La La Land is your favorite movie!”

“…yeah it is!”

👁️👄👁️

“La La Land isn’t your favorite movie is it?”

“N-no…” 

He was so devastated!

This whole thing was pointless. He thought he ruined everything! There was no way he could ask you out now!

A small sigh and giggle escape your lip

You kiss his cheek shyly

“I still had a great time Ryusui. Thank you for everything!” You pack up your belongings and head to the door. “Oh and Ryusui?”

“Hm?” 

“I like you too.”

Maybe this night wasn’t so bad 

Tecchou: before Fukuchi’s whole plan thing 

You worked at the front desk 

You would always greet everyone and of course they would always greet you back but Tecchou was the only one to ever have a conversation with you

And everyone knew why, but of course not you 

Everyday he would talk to you about something different 

“Yeah strawberries with ketchup are the best. Something about how both the reds mixing together is so appealing.” Or “Tell me, is it hard to live without an ability?”

One day you were informed that he’ll be going on a long mission, so you wouldn’t have your daily talks

But that wasn’t your main concern, it was the rank. He was supposed to go into one of Japan’s most dangerous areas, with no way of contact to anyone else.

“I don’t know Tecchou, there has to be another way to carry this mission out, or at least someone can go with you, even if it’s someone as weak as me at least I’ll be there!”

You tear up as he packs his bag 

He’s honestly glad his back is to you or else you would’ve seen him blush

“I’ll be fine (y/n). This is part of being a hunting dog.”

He carries his bag as he walks to you

“Please don’t cry. You’re too beautiful to cry.”

You wipe your tears as an idea strikes you

“At least let me give you something before you leave, but you have to promise to return it to me when you get back!” 

He nods and sticks out his pinky, remembering the time you told him how pinky promises are the most sacred vow 

You wrap your pinky around his, then you stand on your tip toes to kiss his cheek

Both of you are redder than the strawberry ketchup mixture

He smiles and pulls his hat over his face as he walks towards the door

“I promise I’ll return it to you when I get back.”

Emoji guide!!

💀: is like a way to laugh. Specially like a „bruh“ or „no she/he/they/you did not“, „i cant believe he/she/they/you did this“ or „there is no way they/you/she/he did this!“. Do not use this if someone died please!

[ivysangel]

Omg I’m watching yj rn cuz I haven’t seen the show since maybe 2012 or 2013 so it’s been a while for this girl and I have no one else to talk to about this.

~Mild spoilers ahead for those who haven’t caught up~

But I just have to say that the writers are gonna be fending off more then just these hands for the bloody time skips they did. When s1 ended I was so excited for season 2, and then after a quick recap of the new years scene we get blasted 5 years later!!!?!?!?! uHMMMM HELLO?!?!???? WTF IS THIS ??? I WAS EXPECTING TEAM BEHAVIOUR AND THIS IS SO NOT TEAM BEHAVIOUR!!! I WANTED GROWTH!! I WANTED TO GET TO LIKE THESE CHARACTERS MORE AND UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIPS!! And they hit us with the oop aqualad is now an enemy, yeah Tula joined the team but died, Dick and Zatanna aren’t together but he’s with Barbara now, Barb is also disabled, Jason was a part of the team for a while but of course died, etc etc like it was huh after huh after HUH cuz a lot can happen in 5 years and I’m cheesed we didn’t have season 2 to ride the wave a little longer with the team while they were midteens before we got a switch up and suddenly they’re in their 20s and mentoring, and we got introduced to a new team like 2 or 3 times

And with each time skip I’d just get more and more steamed cuz this feels like when you have a friend that you’ve known for ages but suddenly decides to drop new lore and you’re like 👁️👄👁️ what do you mean you were pregnant at 15 and found out at a Wendy’s bathroom????? Like it felt like being hit with a truck hearing all the things that happened during the time skip cuz as of right now I’m on the latest season and there’s queer relationships that were dropped like a bomb. Don’t get me wrong I’m not mad about it at all but with kal I was like who?when?? And with Lagoonboy I was like aww he looks so happy with her! Wait did she just say husband??? But that’s not….. omg this dude is a home wrecker!!! ohhhhh ok he’s in a poly relationship…. WAIT A MINUTE A POLY RELATIONSHIP??? It was just coming out of nowhere unless I missed hints being dropped in earlier episodes or seasons. Probably the sap in me but I would’ve liked to be introduced to these other characters and see how they caught feelings and got together instead. We’ve had a few episodes about Halo figuring herself out both with sexuality and gender preferences, and her religion as well which does make sense when you were previously a living machine. But nothing for Kaldur or lagoonboy???? I would’ve loved to have seen that unfold instead of some other episodes that were more of a snooze fest for me

hihihi sorry this has been sitting in my inbox for so long, i got this crazy influx of yj related asks that were all so long so i've been spacing out my responses!!

but you are so right, the time jumps are so heinous because half the time we don't even get flashbacks to supplement any of the missing plot. they fully just drop bombs on the viewers and expect everyone to just accept it. it's very jarring to get attached to a team and then see the whole team split up the next season with absolutely no warning.

(also idk why this just came to mind but does anyone else remember when orm was camped out in that house trying to kill everybody at that birthday party???? what the fuck was that about??? was that crucial to the plot...did i miss smth)

BUT YEAH. there's a whole lot of "did i miss something"s floating around for s2-4. i would literally sit in front of a paused screen and try to figure out if any dots connected bc i was so lost.

i also really liked how we got halo's sexuality and gender identity arc but i do wish they had done the same for kaldur since he's such a massive part of the show. i wouldn't be mad at one for lagoon boy either, but his plots generally don't mean as much for me since he was really only there as a piece of the m'gann + conner plot.

I'd like to ask ✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person? for Esme, and if u dont mind me pointing and waving excitedly at ur original work--

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms? for Marius, and 😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge? for Cordelia?

OC ask game here (x) thank you bookish

✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person?

I think that Esmé likes sticking right where she is, partly because she feels more 'in control' in places she recognizes and partly because she's just stubborn 🤣 why would she travel? to go somewhere? she's already somewhere. try again buddy.

and i ALWAYS love talking about my original work thank you for asking <3

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

Tapping his fingers when he's lost in thought/forgetting there's anyone else in the room with him. looking at you like 👁️👄👁️ when he expects you to do something (he did not tell you what he expects you to be doing). standing like🧍‍♂️in any situation and when he's finished saying something immediately turning around and walking away because he marked the conversation as Over. what a guy.

😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT—is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?

Cordelia is very inquisitive. She is basically in a near-constant state of gathering information and trying to fit it into the way she's interacting with the world at large. From an alchemical standpoint, she's even more so, but it's in a different way. When she figures things out socially, it's generally geared toward how it benefits her—how do these people connect? whose attention does she want and what is their attention on right now? are those two bantering in a friendly manner or as a ploy to undercut? she is constantly calibrating herself against expectations—how much she'll joke, or smile, if being confident or self-effacing advances what she's trying to do. Alchemy is different, she does it because she wants to understand how it works, gets a thrill from figuring things out. The harder the better. Alchemy is the one thing she is happy to be wrong in, she can't stand it otherwise. She works very hard to make sure she never is.

Ironically, Cordelia's intellect and instinct are sometimes her downfall, where she can read rooms/reasons very clearly, but her own belief in how well she plays The Game blinds her to other things. When it's pointed out, her first instinct is to resist—avoid damage, alter strategy—but in the end she can admit to her weaknesses graciously, and every time makes her a little better at accepting blame.

Thank you for the ask bookish!!

My desire to write something for cowboy au: 📈📈📈

My inability to write southern accent organically due to English not being my first language: 👁️👄👁️

I am STRUGGLING ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽

I totally understand how that can be super difficult because it is a lot of quick paced talking and slang, so it's not an easy dialect to work with if you're not used to it firsthand. It's easy for me simply because that's my accent, and I grew up around it so I have an easier time transcribing that into print.

I imagine it's difficult when English isn't your first language. It's hard enough to be able to learn how to speak a second language on top of what you already know, and it's even harder when you have to account for regional accents and dialects. They don't teach you how to interact with those things in the educated setting.

If it makes it easier for you, don't bother trying to make your version of the story be written in such a way that the accent has to be written out. You can make it easier on yourself by implying that that's the tone that he's speaking in and save yourself the trouble of having to figure out how to make it feel "accurate". If it's easier for you to write your comfort scenarios without making the dialogue match mine, that's perfectly alright. You can do it whatever way works best for you. After all, you're writing these lil' drabbles for yourself. You're making it because you like the story and you want to place yourself there.

Do whatever feels more organic and natural for you and it won't take away from it. However, if you get really frustrated and you are determined to make this feel natural to story setting, I would be happy to look over anything that you write and edit your dialogue if you want me to. I wouldn't mind. If you have any questions about how these things sound naturally in a way that isn't a silly caricature, I can answer that as well if you need me to. I don't have a lot to do these days so editing something wouldn't be hard.

Every now and again, I do read my stories out loud for reading times on a few different Discord servers. So, if you're interested in hearing me talk about the story in the way that it works in my own accent that way, that's always an option, too. It's been a little bit since I've done it but I'm always happy to read, but definitely come to @/sapphireicecream's server if you're ever interested in that.

[eddiediazismyhusband]

OP i completely agree but I am gonna hijack your post for a minute to add in my two cents:

what if it’s the diazes asking christopher this question and christopher goes “well, he’s like my dad but he’s not… dad’s my dad�� so buck is my buck.”

and the diaz parents are just like “wtf” and they ask what he means by buck is like his dad, and chris starts telling them about everything buck’s done for him and eddie over the years and he ends his explanation by mentioning the will and they’re both like “the WHAT?”

and that’s what sparks the will conversation and we get ramon and helena both ebing confused about it, helena on the defensive as always and ramon actually trying to hear eddie out

especially if this is after a conversation w pepa or abuela about how eddie was always such a ‘sensitive little boy ™️’ but that his parents had changed him by expecting him to grow up too quickly which sparks a conversation about eddie having a queer uncle who always doted on him (eddie not remembering him) and how eddie always reminded abuela or pepa of him before he passed away and ramon/helena tried to erase his existence from their kids’ lives

we then get eddie questioning why he was so similar to his uncle, PLUS eddie starting to question why he wants buck to be chris’s guardian, and he talks to frank about it and frank goes “i know what you are 👁️👄👁️” and BAM we get feelings realization

then after he spirals for an episode, coming to terms with his feelings for buck as well as the idea of figuring out his sexuality in his 30s, he has a heart to heart with ramon that kind of finishes resolving their reconciliation arc, meanwhile helena is still helena-ing™️ over everything and it results on her saying something akin to “dragging christopher down” and chris OVERHEARS and gets angry and that is the catalyst for him returning to LA- still upset with eddie, their own tension not yet resolved, but they finally started down that road, and it sets up a whole arc for eddie accepting that buck is what completes his family, whether he has him romantically or not, and that helps heal the rift with chris…

but then we get buck having his own simultaneous arc of wondering about his place in their lives when someone points it out- he starts to recontextualize his entire relationship with eddie under the lens of his recently discovered bisexuality and has his own “oh shit” moment that sparks some more drama w buck having to navigate this realization while still thinking eddie is straight and realizing the risks that these feelings had on his relationship with eddie and we possibly get a mini-divorce era (no longer than like 2, maybe 3 episodes, nothing too drastic and crazy) where buck only spends time with christopher and eddie thinks that buck somehow found out about his feelings for him and blames himself for the awkwardness, while buck thinks the same thing (although slightly different circumstances) and it’s not until they’re working a bad fire and eddie slips up and says something along the lines of “you better come back to me” and then later on after shift, they’re in eddie’s kitchen and buck asks what eddie meant by what he said, and eddie is all like “what hahaha i didn’t say anything who said anything?” and buck is like “when you said it, i registered it as you telling me to come back to you and christopher, but you said come back to me, so what did you mean” and cue soft quiet love confession scene in eddie’s kicthen and eddie is crying and apologizing for making things awkward and then we see buck be the one to take the step (having worked through his apprehension to taking the risk) and kisses eddie super softly and the episode ends with them looking at each other for a moment before smiling.

anyway, sorry again op for hijacking your post but you gave me so many thoughts that i had to write down omg

I need an episode where someone asks why Chris calls Buck “his Buck” and not “Uncle Buck” or plain old “Buck.” And I want to see Eddie grasping at straws trying to find a platonic answer for it.

[ghost-proofbaby]

hi ghost 😁

Funny story from tonight:

The guy's dad had left to go to his friend's house and his mom had went to take a shower. He sits down on the couch and I'm like 🤨 I know what you're doing here and sit down beside him. He puts his legs over my lap like he did at the party and I'm like I'm glad I'm comfortable and he's like yep 😁 and anyway we get all cuddled up and then I hear his mom starts walking back from the shower and I'm like oddly not freaking out about it? But I swear to God I have never seen this boy move so fast in my life he bolts up practically throws the blanket on the floor and is all the way across the living room and meets her at the door like HI MOM and im just still half laying on the couch with the blanket half on me half on the floor bc I do not have the speed he possessed to be able to play that off (and I seriously don't think we did lmao even if we were just laying there) just sitting there like 👁️👄👁️ and then she was like okay goodnight you guys and we were like GOODNIGHT

And y'know, I did not feel that embarrassed about it. Will I probably blush my face off next time I see them like I did when I first looked at them this afternoon bc it was the first time I saw them all since I kissed him? Yeah probably. But that's okay 🤷🏻‍♀️ I probably would've had the same reaction if it was my mom anyway.

And when I left I KISSED HIM TWICE! I DID IT! I don't even think he really expected it bc I didn't really expect me to do it to be honest with you. And he told me he liked my hugs 😭 and when he was walking away he was like tell your mom hi even though I don't know who she is and I'm like maybe we'll have to fix that soon and he said okay.

And now I'm currently just trying to figure out when and how to have the dtr talk with him. Bc idk how. Or when. Or if I wait for him to bring it up. I'm not sure. Cause he's kind of been avoiding whenever I mention the word date or couple or whatever (I bought this game called let's get deep and it said a game for couples and I told him to ignore the couples part and pretend it said friends who kiss and maybe become a couple sometime. And he didn't say anything back to that. It was on Snapchat and it was late at night so he was asleep for work and opened it in the morning so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️)

🎸 anon ❤️

the fact that you still felt comfortable and not overly embarrassed though!!!! that’s such a good sign nonnie!!!!

but also oh no please tread so carefully with the ambiguous “friends who kiss” 😭 even if you add on the “eventual couple” sometimes people will ignore the latter and use it against you later on and yeah 🥲🥲🥲 definitely not speaking from personal experience pshhhhh (i absolutely am)

[jodjuya]

I'm aware that one of my most-developed skills is using words, which means that I can use words to talk about how good I use words, so therefore this ability is not inherently indicative that my intelligence is faultless across all domains of human knowledge; my ego is not *that* over-inflated.

I'm exactly the same as chatGPT in that regard. Ability to bullshit is not proof that I know anything and am an unquestionable authority figure on whatever I'm talking about. It's only proof that I'm good at bullshitting (and probably therefore do actually know what I'm talking about, because all the best bullshitting is grown from truth, and because you know me and my reputation for valuing truth and earnest honesty and other such pro-social behaviours, so therefore my words are safe to take at face value [or they're not safe to take at face value because, contextually, incorrect words were intentionally used for dramatic irony or mocking sarcasm or what have you])

& this is why you fundamentally can *NOT* trust a single damn thing chatCPT says, ditto for any other large-language model generative AI in the same vein. Because those chat bots are extremely good at bullshitting, but are (currently) literally incapable of valuing prosocial ideals, even from the absolute bedrock-level fundamental basics of:

we implicitly agree to speak from a frame of reference which is exclusively confined to observable reality. If we say things that do not conform to observable reality, including the laws of causality; these statements are classed as being 'incorrect', unless explicitly delineated to some other frame of reference (an "error", a "Fictitious" or "hypothetical" situation, a "deception", and so on)

But these AIs don't contain a model of observable reality inside them. They don't know what any things are, let alone what the truth is, let alone that you're "supposed to" tell the truth when you're conversing with someone (unless you're intentionally not telling the truth for the purposes of entertainment or coercion or whatever; because you do actually know what the truth is, but you're selectively saying otherwise to fulfil a specific intention)

I find it helpful to simply think of them like they're literally the fey

Something sinister lurking out of sight and perfectly mimicking a human voice to lure you over the borders of rational thought and info the enchanted forest.

Not in the same way that a fellow human being would do it, if they were to lurk out of sight and perfectly mimic somebody else's voice to lure you into a trap. When a human does this to you, they would do it for A REASON, they're trying to accomplish a specific goal using a specific plan which entails luring people into the forest by mimicking a human voice. That's knowable, that's comprehensible.

It's impossible to know why an AI is saying the things it is saying. It's just a rock that's been enchanted to grow a human mouth which babbles unceasingly.

The spell has no intentions, it has no awareness; let alone self-awareness—the ability to tell the difference between itself and things that are not itself. There's no magic brain connected up to it and "thinking" about what to say, so it is impossible for it to have intentions behind what it says; it's not telling the truth to be helpful and friendly and honest.

It is literally physically impossible for it to be honest, in fact! To be "honest" you have to *know* what observable reality *is*, so that you can *intentionally* make your statements conform to that! And much like Jon Snow, this AI knows nothing!

It is just a magic mouth sprouting out of the side of a pet rock that somebody glued plastic googly-eyes to. 👁️👄👁️

Just a magic mouth babbling away confidently, because of a magic spell which makes it do mouth-sounds for no reason and not because of a magic spell which put a brain inside the rock and made it come alive and have opinions about things.

It's just a piece of rock. Rocks don't have opinions about things.

Yes, no matter how many invisibly-tiny runes you infinitely carve all over the surface of the rock. It's still just a rock. And rocks aren't alive. And rocks don't think. And rocks don't hold opinions. And rocks don't have desires. This one just has a magic mouth sprouting out of it which talks a lot because of magic which makes it Do That.

So it can't be intentionally telling you the wrong thing either, for reasons of malice or hostility or deception or pranks or whatever other reason.

Because, again, it's just a rock. Rocks don't have options or reasons or hostility in them.

(Yes, even the Cursed Rocks, like Facebook or Twitter or whatever. The curse is actually from the pattern of runes on the surface of the rock, and the way people use those runes to inflict or magnify harm. The rock itself underneath the runes is just the substrate; it's not participating in having opinions about you.)

So sometimes the magic mouth says true correct helpful things and sometimes it says flat out wrong things and sometimes it says harmfully wrong things, and it doesn't know or care which it's being, it just keeps right on babbling away confidently incorrect.

Because it's just a rock that can talk because some fairy thought it would be really funny to mess with humans by luring them with nothing more than a rock that magically talks like them (and as a technical challenge, to stretch the boundaries of submicroscopic fractal rune carving and make a magic mouth spell that mimics the human voice as perfectly as this one does).

There is zero reason for you to trust it. That is merely the fey taking advantage of your DNA's built-in pro-social inclinations. A day zero exploit over human beings' default assumptions that:

JAPAN HAS AN INDISTRY FOR FICTIONAL-BUT-REAL JPOP (AND RAP AND ACAPELLA) IDOLS KNOWN AS 2.5D IDOLS THAT OFTEN ACTS AS BOTH A TRAINING GROUND FOR NEW VOICE ACTORS AND A PLAYGROUND FOR SEIYUUS (VOICE ACTORS) THAT ALSO PROVIDES A LOT OF JOBS FOR STAGE ACTORS AND IS CLOSELY TIED TO THE RISING STAGEPLAY INDUSTRY BECAUSE WOMEN KEEP PAYING TO SEE PRETTY BOYS AND SOMETIMES GURLS ON STAGE DANCING TO FUN MUSIC I have met all of 2 people irl who had any clue what one (1) of these groups I'm talking about are. So imagine Love Live! But instead of real girls wanting to be real idols using anime idols to give them a headstart it's fictional idols given real bodies and voices to bring them to life like any other idol.

The quality varies a lot and they're not usually all that deep but the important part is:

I'm having fun

They're having fun

They have enough sales to keep going strong

There is so much music you can't not find some you like

So for the love of my wanting to share these interests with someone please poke these things with a stick and try em out

My favourites are

Tsukiuta (big name voice actors collabed with big name vocaloid producers to make music; currently has 13 stageplays, 2 anime seasons , a bunch of CD dramas and music),

Tsukipro (Tsukiuta is a branch of Tsukipro but Tsukiuta was made first, 2 live action movies, several stageplays, so much fricken music),

Paradox Live (2.5D idols but they do rap instead of jpop, a relatively new series with a wide variety of vocal talent (Murase Ayumu 👁️👄👁️) and Akan Yatsura is the best group fight me on this), and

-aopella!?- (a bunch of big name voice actors figure out how to do acapella covers of jpop songs)

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck
