Who on the island is the most pessimistic?

"I don't like to pigeonhole people into pessimistic or optimistic, pessimism has a really negative vibe to it, which isn't fair to those people. Really, in life there's dreamers and realists, and we function best when there's a mixture of dreamers and realists. For example, I'm a dreamer, and Nick is a realist. The other big realist on Meridium is Kaz, but you can't tell me that one of the founders of Team Forge isn't a bit of a dreamer way down deep."

Hmm can I ask for making them Jealous and then pinning you to the wall? Chlorinde, And Miko? NSFW if it’s fine??

if it’s alr with you, ill make it gn! i didn’t know if you wanted fem or gn! reader. nsfw’s fine but i had a major brain fart so I kept it sfw, sorry lovely😞

“ what do you possibly gain from involving yourself with the new traveler? “ a hardened familiar voice husks in your ear after a hand swiftly pulls you into an empty street. back pressed against the wall, you found yourself staring into clorinde’s narrowed purple eyes. you blinked several times at her question in confusion, “ what do you mean possibly gain and involving yourself? what’s with the suspicion? i was simply trying to be friends with them—wait, were you following me, clorinde? “

before this, you and the traveler explored around the popular parts of fontaine to introduce them to great shops and sight–seeing areas. you were unaware of your lover following closely behind, blending into the crowds and weaving through them. she places her gloved hand next to the side of your head, the other rests under your chin. “ oui, i wish to keep an eye on the traveler and i was surprised that you also were accompanying them. that. .not only strengthened my resolve to follow behind but to also make sure you were safe. “ clorinde confessed.

you chuckled, “ navia was right, you do have a stalking problem. “

she sighs deeply, flickering her gaze down to the ground before back at you, slightly embarrassed. “ please do not say such things, mon amour. you’re making it sound like i am strange, but. .i am sorry for following you without your consent. “

“ you should apologize to the traveler as well, gorgeous. “

clicking her tongue, she draws closer to your face, you wind your arms around her waist. “ i am only apologizing to you and that is all. “ clorinde’s soft lips brush along your jaw, a shiver runs down your spine.

“ dearest, come here. “

her request sounded more like a demand as she beckons you over with a finger. confused, you reluctantly complied, walking over to her by the narukami tree. yae’s eyes looks you up and down in with disapproval. “ i heard from little birdies you were acquainting yourself with that divine priestess earlier today, no? “ she queried, crossing her arms. noticing the subtle tension in your youkai’s voice, you swallowed thickly.

“ miko, i— “

“ address me as guuji yae before you speak, little one. “

you sighed exasperatedly, missing the mischievous glint in her eyes. “ guuji yae, kokomi was simply visiting for a formal meeting with the shogunate, i managed to catch her around the town area prior and wanted to chat with her. “ you explained. she hums thoughtfully, unfolding one of her arms to caress your cheek idly. it made you nervous that you couldn’t tell what yae was thinking, but you felt the atmosphere thicken when you mentioned kokomi. those two did share some sort of weird rivalry with each other.

“ chat, huh? care to share anything interesting you two were chatting about? “

“ w-well, it wasn’t really much, just books and general things involving daily life and duties. we were catching up. “ you laughed nervously, rubbing the back of your neck. yae quirks a brow, her gaze narrows. “ goodness, catching up? dearest, i was unaware you were already acquaintances with that girl. why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? “ was that hurt in her voice? disbelief? it couldn’t be that she was. .

“ mik–guuji yae. .are you jealous? “

before you can react, your body was pinned against the divine tree. it felt pleasantly warm against your back. yae’s hot breath fans against the side of your cheek, her hand encircles around your neck firmly. “ to ask me such a question like that is most baffling, wouldn’t you say, little one? “ she chuckles dryly, softly squeezing your neck before continuing, “ but i should say, it irks me at the thought of you and miss ‘sole of the deep’ meeting behind my back. next time i see her, we will have many things to discuss, hm? perhaps i’ll even have you tag along as well. “

friend group bits and inside jokes are just so special. like asking mik if she’s ever had a s’mores pop tart is such an innocuous thing for her to have a visceral reaction to as i’m laughing so hard i can barely get the question out. any time me or my friends fly somewhere the group chat gets a “you’ll never believe who’s on my flight” text and without missing a beat a chorus of seven people reply “misha collins.” anytime we see a statue with feet taylor gets a picture of them.

these things aren’t funny to anyone else, but they bring so much joy to the people i get to share my life with and i think that’s awful nice.

Ich hatte (glücklicherweise) vergessen, dass letztes Jahr bei dem Secrets diese Frage zu Philip mit dem ersten Kuss gestellt wurde und ich war gerade mal wieder komplett schockiert. Wie unsensibel ist das bitte?

I know, ist ja dann auch kein Wunder, wenn im Kika Chat und bei Miks Insta Q&As solche Fragen gestellt werden, wenn der Kika das selbst als normal darstellt.

Closed for @mikael-blackwood | Aspen & Mik @ Witches Brew

Aspen had tried their best to keep in touch with Mikael when he'd gone off gallivanting to chase his dreams in New York. They supported his decisions through and through, crossing their fingers and toes and hoping that Mik's dreams would come true in the big apple. For a while, it seemed like maybe they had. But then Aspen had heard less and less from Mik and, honestly, they were too wrapped up in their own things that they'd lost track of time between phone calls and text messages until weeks, and months, started going by without word.

Imagine their surprise when there was rumor that Mikael was back in town, and no one had even bothered to tell Aspen. So they hunted him down, demanded they meet up at Witches Brew, and was balancing a selection of caffeinated beverages in their hands as they approached their brother seated at one of the tables.

"Long time no chat Mikster. What's shakin'? You weren't even going to bother to let me, your favorite sibling, know you were back in town? I don't know if I can forgive you for that. It hurts real bad."

[rosaliehsu]

who: @heyymikki where: mikki's house

Rosalie had felt horrible that she wouldn't have known that Mikki had been mugged if it wasn't for the fact that she stopped by the Gold Dust looking to score some free fries. But as soon as she heard, Rosalie was on her way home, and without much thought immediately began putting some food together for her old friend. It had been awhile since the two worked together, but Ros still stopped in to the diner to chat and catch up whenever she could.

It was only as she was standing at Mikki's door with a comically sized container of her mom's beef noodle soup did she realize how silly this might be. She was probably sore and tired and healing. Getting robbed wasn't like having the flu, a good hearty soup wasn't about to solve anything. But she had to do something. And with that thought, she rang the bell. "Mik? It's Ros, if the doors open and you're too sore to get up, gimme a shout!" she called through the door, not to be any more of an inconvenience than she might've already been. "I come bearing food!"

Hello fellow Finnish learners!

I've been meaning to put this post together for weeks and I kept thinking it wasn't ready, but now I've decided to just keep updating it after I post so here it is, in its unfinished form:

While I do enjoy Käärijä's music and I think it's a great way to learn vocabulary, I have difficulty with auditory processing and sometimes I can't understand rap even in my native language. Also, as someone living very far away from Finland, listening and speaking are the hardest things for me to practice.

So! Here's some random assorted Finnish media that I think are nice listening practice and also (most importantly) not Peppa Pig. I cannot professionally vouch for any of these as a learning tool; all I can say is that I've watched/listened to/read them and I feel like maybe I learned something.

MUSIC

Katri Ylander (check out Pandat, Älä kysy miks, Sano mulle jotain kaunista, Kyselen) - she has a pretty low vocal range, which is great for understanding, and she has a lot of repetitive choruses

Ollie (check out Ainakin mä rakastin, Aavikolla, Älä riko mua enää) - we've got kind of a downtempo sadboy thing going on here, which is excellent for our learning purposes

Mikko Harju (check out Meidän puolella, Oon nähnyt unta, Mä olen tässä, Sinä riittää) - there tend to be clear breaks between words in his songs and he uses less puhekieli than a lot of artists

Younghearted (check out Kuljetaan, Tässä ja nyt, Sun numero) - literally I just like them idk

Antti Tuisku - Koti - I wouldn't put Antti Tuisku as an artist in general on this list, but Koti basically feels like an Ollie song

YOUTUBE

KatChats - great educational content for all learner levels, speaks very slowly and uses very little puhekieli. I also think she has a facebook and/or discord community?

Nedde - mostly a Sims and Sims-esque gaming channel, which is great for vocab building and comprehension because she narrates what she's doing onscreen

T I N K E - lots of life vlogs and sims videos; I think she speaks really clearly and understandably

Herbalisti - he speaks a lot faster and more colloquially, but his minecraft and random-pelit videos are good for the same reasons as Sims videos. also he has a really cute cat

Aleksi Rantamaa - specifically his TLDR LIVE videos are easiest to understand because he's talking to chat so he repeats himself a lot and takes a lot of pauses between his sentences

PODCASTS

Opi Suomea! - hasn't been updated in a long time but it's great listening and vocab practice about everyday topics

Soturikissat Kastepilven kanssa - I am about to make another post about this whole phenomenon but just trust me on this one

Miksei kukaan kertonut? - the host speaks very understandably and, way more importantly, her guests always have decent microphones

NETFLIX (it's what I have sorry)

Julie and the Phantoms - it's honestly very well done for a teen drama and the music is stupidly catchy

Zero Chill - another netflix teen drama; I liked it less than julie and the phantoms but it's fine

Heartstopper - don't lie to me, you're on tumblr. you've heard of heartstopper.

Carmen Sandiego - genuinely super engaging as far as kid's shows go; it reminds me of the educational cartoons I watched as a kid

The Dragon Prince - literally by the creators of ATLA, you don't need my elevator pitch for it

[bikananjarrus]

the fact that i have to deal with so many pictures of live action hera when looking up images of hera...heartbreaking. like that's NOT my WIFE !!!!

hi everyone! so i just realized that i never really made an ooc introduction HAGSHWGHG so here's one real quick to hopefully make our interactions in the future smoother ^^)/

my name is mik! i use they/them pronouns. i'm 19 years old. i'm currently a uni student so i might be a bit inactive at times HGWHJAHAG the semester's just about to end, though, so hopefully i can be here more!

i write h.erta! but i love a decent chunk of the hsr cast tehehehe

i'm in the discord server but i have all non rp-related channels muted, so that's why i'm not really super present. feel free to shoot me a dm on discord or tumblr if you wanna chat, though! i promise i'm always happy to talk, i'm just a bit shy when it comes to big groups ;;

to that end: please don't be scared to reach out to me if you wanna write anything! i love writing lots, so i'm open to a variety of interactions <3

that's all for now~ excited to write with you all!

Fanuary Fanart #12

Once again, I've got a surprise! Present time, present time, open the present and see what's inside!

...huh? Oh my goodness, whaddya know? @miks-fantrolls this one's for you!!

Meteor seems like the kind of assassin to leave you seeing stars.

Friend buddy chum pal buddy pal friendo amigo buddyo! Mik's great, a hoarder of skrunklies and a great person to chat with despite how busy they can be with work. Also a fellow music nerd like me, score! Although he's much better with strings than me, bluh bluh!

Ugh, what else can I say? You're a cool one, Mik! You're the awesome™! I've appreciated the convos, venty or silly or whatever. I appreciated ArtFighting last year, love seeing your shenanigans in my feed, etcetera etcetera. :3

But overall, I know this was light-hearted, but I appreciate you much lots. Thanking you for your friendship Mik, it's priceless.

Getting there! See you next time!!!

Ace Week 2023

Hold on, Ace Week begins in less than 24 hours? When the fuck did that happen?!

WELL. Okay. This is okay. Did we...plan?! Oh phew, we did! We do have plans! We have a whole list of fun plans, with fun people! What a relief. (By fun people, we mean our guests. Not us, of course. We're no fun, not at all.)

Our channel is here; details about each day below the cut!

On Sunday, 10/22, we are starting the week off with the return of Norn9: Var Commons! It's been over a month since we last played, but we are finally getting back to Heishi's route. And he's all happy-go-lucky and cheerful, so nothing bad will possibly happen in his route, right? It'll probably be fine!!

Then, on Tuesday, 10/24, Sharky will be streaming Live-A-Live on his personal channel, where he's getting close to the end of the game! Will he finish it?! Well, not if Satan shows up in chat to bug him to try 15 different crafting combinations in Prehistory for no reason.

After that, on Wednesday, 10/25, it's Disabled Ace Day!! To celebrate the occasion, we are so, so, so lucky to have @theacecouple joining us for One Night Stand, a game made by Lucy Blundell, aka Games By Kinmoku, a disabled ace dev. (And hey, just in case you hadn't heard, Courtney of the Ace Couple, founder of Disabled Ace Day, is also going to be part of a fantastic Disabled BIPOC Aces panel earlier that same day, so check it out if you have time!)

From there, on Thursday, 10/26, Satan will be playing Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade from the beginning. Also known as just Fire Emblem, because y'know, they had to make it confusing when they first brought it over. It will almost definitely be tutorial for the entire length of the stream, whoo!

Finally, on Friday, 10/27, we are closing out the week with the amazing @baronvonmilk, aka Miktastic, with some Mario Party chaos! Satan will demand to collude against the CPU, Sharky is going to refuse, and Mik is going to kick both our asses at the minigames.

Weiß zufällig jemand wer von Team damals mit Mik im Chat war und über die Überraschung geschrieben hat?

Es wäre halt zu witzig wenn wir Kika schreiben "Also die Eva hat damals gesagt wir kriegen noch eine Überraschung" und schicken so Screenshots. Und der Chef zum Team dann so "Seid ihr verrückt? Was kündigt ihr random Überraschungen an?? Schnell sagt die Überraschung war die Preview!"

🎵 Wir sind wieder da, auf GanovenÜberraschungsjagd
