[chemicalarospec]

you've heard of: aroacespec "is this person flirting with me" confusion, now get ready for: Does this person think I'm flirting with them (and also are they flirting "back" with me) because I accidentally bumped into them a lot?

Hyperfocus messed with my time perception so bad omg

Have you ever experienced non-linear time? Like half an hour went by in half a minute and then it stopped. Entirely. Logically I know that it's been around 15 minutes, but I can't even say that it felt like forever because it didn't feel like ANYTHING [PT: anything. /End PT]. It's been hours but not the 60 minute kind of hours y'know? It's been a while. Not really

Talked about BG3 w my tattooist and he claimed he didn't like Wyll and found him insuffrable and whiny, and internally I was trying so hard not to go on a full long rant, like man lemme stop you right there what are you talking about, oh and also you're wrong, but that's just your stupid opinion and I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear any of that😤

I just got my first T shot after having my ovaries and uterus removed. Praying to the trans gods I will get double the beard hairs now 🙏🏻 Also, I just took some pictures of me shirtless because my friend wanted nudes (don't ask, we have the weirdest relationship lol) and I look so manly man. With my little beard and my tiddies gone. (Also, my friend said that my surgery results look perfect and that I really made a dream come true, so cute)

since I'm seeing a lot of posts about the necessity of reblogging people's posts vs just liking them...

if I like a post that involves birds, I always reblog (and usually from the OP, though sometimes I'm forgetful). I enjoy so much of what the birblr community creates, but I don't like to spam or dominate people's dashes, so I have a queue that's a million miles long. it often takes a while for a reblog of mine to go through for my followers to see, but it will.

worries about spam aside, I think spacing out reblogs helps avoid the potential issue of people seeing the same art/photo on their dashes several times over the course of 2-3 days before circulation slows or just... stops. I personally love when an old photo of mine sees a surge of activity seemingly out of nowhere! no matter how old your creations are, they deserve to be seen if you want them to be.

in that same vein, I shuffle my queue regularly. I often go on like + queue sprees upon discovering a lovely new artist/photographer, and I prefer to reblog from multiple creators each day.

finally, for my own posts, I now queue 2 photos of mine for each weekday instead of 4 photos every day of the week. this schedule works better for me for multiple reasons but, ultimately, it'll help shorten the queue a bit faster.

hi mags! big big fan of your work 🥹 i just wanted to ask a lil about how you went about starting to write fanfic n self ship stuff? i’ve been wanting to for a while now but the thought of actually posting it out of nowhere seems pretty daunting to me 😭

dearest anon... I understand how you feel...... but listen... the very first time you start posting fics and silly stuff, you'll probably feel nervous at first, but then it's super fun and freeing... when I first started posting fanfic, it was one of the most fun and happy times in my whole life. once I got over that initial fear of what people would think, and realized I could just be myself, I truly enjoyed every aspect of my silly postings. and I'll always look at that time fondly, even if my writing has improved since then!

we all have to start somewhere!! just do what you love, it's such a nice feeling. and I promise soon you won't be alone, you'll find others who love the same things..........

Sorry but I have a random vent.

Am I the only one that hates that everyone makes Seungmin and Minho mean doms? Calling the reader sl*t and wh*re, and whatever degrading stuff they make them do.

Remember how Seungmin said that he thinks he’s the least liked? Well I can’t hardly pay attention to him and his fics when it’s all degrading stuff I don’t enjoy. I’m very much soft and sensitive, so it sucks that those two are ALWAYS perceived that way in fics, so I have to avoid their fics basically all the time.

I know of only two Seungmin fics where he’s not a mean dom. At least authors have some leeway with Minho, but still, the majority is degrading and intense stuff that I would feel unloved experiencing and reading in a fic. Should I feel bad for having to avoid them since I can’t enjoy mean doms?

No I get where ur coming from! I think it’s neat when it pertains to certain kinks or to fulfill a specific part of a story but I truly never view any of the members as only ONE type of sexual partner. Like yeah I can see why people would put them in one scenario or another, but for me it doesn’t mean they’re not also soft and passionate lovers or also caring and attentive to their partners’ needs.

I think it makes sex very….. one dimensional? If that makes sense? For example a lot of people love the subby Jisung or subby Felix agenda which is cool and all! but to me only boxing one member into one stereotypical sexual role is boring and unrealistic. It also feels sometimes like people conclude “quiet and stoic = mean in bed” or “has inherently ‘femininely perceived traits’ and is nice = sub” which is so….. wrong. lmao

Sex is so multi-faceted the same way people are, and I personally prefer the tender and passionate moments that attribute to a person’s character while they’re having sex rather than to just slap a label on someone and perceive them like that forever. I think it also leads people to think that everybody in a sexual relationship is either dom/sub, top/bottom, nice/degrading which is the most unrealistic thing. And if we’re being so binary in the method, I think both Seungmin and Minho would be very passionate, kind, gentle lovers the same way they come across on screen. You don’t have to feel bad if mean doms aren’t your thing, the same way no one should feel bad if it IS their thing! I just don’t think anybody is limited to one trait or sexual characteristic.

Dealer's choice for Ockham, if you'd like? <3

[I've put some notes on this one! The tags would've been a mile long otherwise.]

23. a kiss influenced by alcohol/other substances (the substance in question being neathbow fuckery)

It wasn't the worst party Emory had ever been dragged to; they didn't even mind that Lenora had wandered off partway through the evening. Nocturnal artists often wanted to hear hunting stories, though he was sure they wished he'd speak of it a bit more poetically. When they tired of it, they were happy to leave him to stand near the wall with a glass of wine. The decor, however, was a bit of an issue - not something they would normally care much about, but the skeleton someone had set up as a centerpiece made no fucking sense. It was made up of three, no, four different zee-beasts cobbled together into a completely implausible monstrosity. He glared at the place where a fin didn't even attempt to connect properly to the frame. Artistic liberty was one thing, but they thought it should at least look like the creator had given a damn.

...If this was what they were focused on, they needed to make this their last drink. Gods forbid he start trying to fix the thing. Before they could give it any further consideration, though, they were interrupted by Lenora's sudden return. She was accompanied by a redhead in a deep green dress and...a wave of flirtatious joy?

"Je vais vous présenter - " whatever that meant, it was directed solely to the person beside her - "Emory, dear, this is Ockham; I fear I've essentially been holding her captive for language practise instead of making introductions to anyone else." She gestured to them, and they noted her gaze was far less sharp than usual. "This is my friend, Captain Emory Hayes."

"Nice to meet you." Ockham held out her (Emory would have guessed something neutral, but who were they to argue?) hand. He felt a hint of curiosity and wondered what Lenora had been saying about him.

This wasn't a state of mind that should have been possible without physical contact or conscious will. The only exception they had ever encountered was Parabolan influence of some kind. Yet Ockham's own eyes seemed normal, and she bore no other obvious signs of possession; just the opposite, in fact. There were flickers of reptilian instinct, now that he could pick up on such things, but they felt buried in the way a person's thoughts normally would when they weren't in full control of themselves.

Was there a polite way to ask are you from a different realm, and if so, how the fuck did you get here? Probably not. Between the nearly palpable emotional aura and the apocyanic haze encroaching on his vision, Emory could barely even think of a normal introduction.

And so, before his mind could catch up with his actions, he brought Ockham's hand up for a kiss rather than the handshake he had planned. They felt the shallow, fleeting memories skin held; the touches of others, the brush of fabric. Lenora raised an eyebrow, and he knew he was never going to hear the end of her teasing once they were alone. Somehow they doubted an explanation would help. Teratomancy made me do it? Technically, this is your fault? No, it would only encourage her.

"...It's nice to meet you, too." he said, resigning himself to his fate.

- I wanted to explore what viric would do to Emory. What I decided is that it brings on a version of the "half-dreaming" mental state he enters for teratomancy, thus making him more emotionally perceptive/receptive. They were able to catch themselves before slipping into an actual trance, though, especially since there wasn't a completely overwhelming amount of input.

- They can, in fact, tell what Ockham should look like! Sort of, anyway. It's not the same as what you'd see through cosmogone lenses. Rather than a vivid, current appearance, they're getting an impression from hishertheir own memories. Since Ockham's been in stasis for so long, though, there's probably not a lot of discernible difference. Maybe some of the details are hazy or slightly off, since you can't really conjure up a perfect image of yourself without looking? If someone else who knew was nearby, it would probably help. I'm also not sure exactly what he would remember once he'd left hishertheir presence and the effect was no longer there.

- I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to pick up some memories from skin - it is an organ, after all. I think it probably doesn't hold information for quite as long, though. Also, most of it is just things like "this area was touched by someone recently and this is how they felt about it" or "the pain of getting a scrape that has since healed."

- Nora knows multiple languages. I don't, unfortunately, otherwise I would have given them more dialogue together instead of having her switch back halfway through a sentence so she could include Emory. She was thrilled to have an excuse to practice, though. Also, Ockham could probably get a two for one deal here if heshethey tried; she's pretty easy to get kisses from.
