very late last night my brother and i were trying to sneakily hiding presents around the house and everytime we accidentally made a noise that was a little too loud i would just hear grandma josh's voice inside my head going SKULLDUGGERY!!!!

Just another TFA x TFP crossover idea...

I know almost every long lasting transformers fan has done this, but here is my hot take.

So we know TFA takes place in the 2050s, and TFP fans assume TFP takes place in the 2010s when it was released. So instead of alternate dimensions, what about futuristic AU/reincarnation AU? Granted a LOT of the characters are different, so adjustments are going to have to be made, so bare with me.

Let's start with the war.

TFP ends with Optimus Prime sacrificing himself so that Cybertron can produce life with the Allspark, and with the Allspark returned, Cybertron is habitable again, and Megatron leaves, thus ending the war, which I will now refer to as the Great War. It is up to Team Prime to start rebuilding Cybertron. And naturally, they look to Ultra Magnus.

As bots return to Cybertron, both Autobot and Decepticon have a lot of animosity towards each other. Afterall, this war lasted centuries. But with one leader dead and the other AWOL, they have to figure out how to coexist. But it is easy to fall back on old habits, so a council is but back in place, and unfortunately, it is most autobots. Once the decepticons heard that Megatron is still alive but off world, some decide to leave and find him. Some decide to remain and try to fix Cybertron for the better. So the council promotes mostly Autobots to positions of power, thus leaving out bigger decepticons starting the warframe fear. As for the protoforms, the council creates molds for new sparks, thinking hey, the war is over, why do we need fighters? We need bots who can fix things (construction), laborers, teachers, and so Cybertron starts to use the frase "cogs in the machine". Oops, here comes functionalism.

But those closest to Optimus Prime? The ones who fought with him and followed him because of what he stood for? The ones who were put on a pedestal for their actions on earth with Prime even though they don't care for any recognition? They notice it immediately. And they hate what Cybertron is becoming. But it is hard to do anything since they just finished a war. Rebuilding is at the top of the list, not idealism. But wasn't that what the whole war was about? Rising above your station, having opportunities, abolish the caste system, and no bot is better than the other. Well, Primus has a plan for that. Primus is frustrated with their children. They keep making the same mistakes, forcing them to choose a Prime. And their last Prime had to sacrifice his life for Primus and all Cybertronians. Well, if the children want to redo their past mistakes, might as well send back their latest Prime. But Primus and the Allspark can only create sparklings, not full bots. So, Primus and the Allspark places the spark of Optimus Prime in a protoform sparkling. We will get to that later.

So, we have a Cybertron that is rebuilding back its bad habits, Team Prime struggling to stop it, and decepticons leaving (of course that will come back to haunt us).

Now onto the Autobots.

Ultra Magnus, the right hand man of Optimus Prime, is naturally looked at for leadership. But he never wanted to the # 1. He truly believes in the ideas of Orion Pax, before he was Optimus Prime. But his understanding of legality and chain of command make him the perfect candidate to lead Cybertron towards order. But after his time on Earth, he has learned that maybe the most strict policies are not the best solutions. However, the council insists and public pressure wants a strong leader, so how can he say no? The only thing he can do is refuse the title of Primacy. He will not take on that mantle. He knows the type of bot who deserves Primehood, and it is not him. But the council needs some title, so why not use his name? Magnus means "big, large, great" - nomitive conjugation - (Latin nerd, I know), so why not use his name as a title? Thus, the title of Magnu begins to be synonymous with "ruler". Ultra Magnus finds this to be a slap in the faceplates. But at least they stopped inisting on Prime. So, with great reluctance (please laugh at that joke) he accepts the position. As to what exactly his position means, well, the council wants to appease the public yet remain in control. The council will surely write up the specifics later. But, I mentioned it before, Ultra Magnus knows the Law, so he takes it into his own servos. He writes up his own limitations and abilities, he just needs the council to sign off. They don't hurry to sign it. This is the beginning of Ultra Magnus' problems.

Ratchet will probably be the easiest to crossover. Both TFA and TFP characterize him as an old medic that has fought in the war from the beginning. After Predacons Rising, he shuffles back and forth from Earth and Cybertron. But Earth hasn't faced decepticon attacks in years so Fowler isn't around much anymore (and the man had a long career in the Army and as a special agent - it's time for him to retire), the Earth kids eventually grow up, so they don't need him anymore. As much as it pains him (even though he will never admit it), he returns back to Cybertron for good and sets up a clinic for war vets. Probably with Knockout. Which many autobots don't like. That's a problem. But as the oldest friend of Orion Pax, he lashes out against the council and their policies, which unfortunately causes him to be blacklisted further. His reputation as a war hero plummets. He almost wants to laugh at the similarities from before the Great War.

Bumblebee is going to be the hardest. In TFP, he has a character arc of young scout to experienced warrior. Yet in TFA, he is a young Elite Guard wash out and a comedic. Well, the only answer I can currently think of is memory wipe. But let me backtrack. Bumblebee technically killed Megatron in TFP, and news of that travels across autobot channels before Predacons Rising, thus before Unicron revives Megatron. So, autobots that begin to return to Cybertron consider Bumblebee as the hero who ended the Great War. But Ultra Magnus is orderly, so he keeps the autobot channel updated with Megatron being revived but AWOL. But communication can be tricky galaxies apart, so some autobots don't get the full message. Unfortunately, the council capitalizes on that, and since Ultra Magnus won't accept Primehood, maybe the scout who served under Optimus Prime for so long will. And if Bumblebee accepts the council's wishes, perhaps he will remain under their watchful optics. But the new warrior looked up to Optimus, no way can he take his mentor/father-figure's place. And Smokescreen is Bumblebee's friend, one who turned down the Matrix of Leadership when it was freely offered. This angers the council. With functionalism getting in place yet Team Prime against it, they need someone from Team Prime to endorse functionalism. And what better bot than the scout who ended the war. With using a similar science from the cortical psychic patch, they wipe his memory of earth, his friends, and serving with Optimus Prime. How do they get that science? Well, TFA Shockwave was the spy Longarm in the council. More on that later. There is going to be a lot of repercussions for that.

Smokescreen is the new rebellious teenager in TFP. His character arc goes from hot head that is unsure of his place in the galaxy to a steady bot with a close friendship with Bumblebee. There is a foil with Alpha Trion both being a mentor to Orion Pax and Smokescreen and both working in the Archives. And Cybertron needs to remember its history. Smokescreen becomes the new Head Archivist, following after Alpha Trion. He could keep with the Elite Guard, perhaps one day truly becoming a Prime, but after Predacons Rising, he knows that there needs to be another path. And who else knows the Archives better than him? He is no Orion Pax - or an archivist - but watching over Alpha Trion makes a mech learn a thing or two. Surprising everyone but Bumblebee, he starts to rebuild the Archives. He takes reports from returning bots, both autobot and decepticon, and organizes it. Returning bots also bring recovered treasures that Alpha Trion shipped off world during the Great War. Thankfully, he remembers where they went. He gets so caught up in restoring the Archives that, like Orion Pax, he notices re-occurring problems from before the Great War, but it is too late to stop it. The best thing he can do is publish every document to a public platform, no matter which faction it came from, so that bots can resist the council. But the public is tired from the Great War, it is too soon to read documents about it. And Sparklings are shielded from those documents, caretakers claiming it is too violent. But what is violent about a critical analysis of the caste system written by a gladiator? Exactly the fact that it was written by a gladiator turned tyrant. He is threatened with removal of his position by the council. Afterall, they happen to like their elite status and have no interest in giving that up. And he knows that if he is removed, the council will fill his position with a bot that will promote council propaganda. The honorific of Prime is no longer so significant nor synonymous with Primus and the 13 due to the council trying to justify Ultra Magnus as the leader, even though he is under their thumbs, and wanting to keep authoritarian government, bestowing bots who graduate council specific requirements at an academy the title of Prime, and it frustrates Smokescreen. He considers it a disgrace to Optimus Prime. But he stays quiet, yet secretly, when he sees a young bot interested in the Great War and before, he shows them the truth. Slowly yet surely, young bots start to question what the Great War was even for.

Arcee TFP and TFA actually have a lot in common for backgrounds. In TFA, she was a teacher and an intelligence officer, and in TFP episode "Sick Minds" she makes an offhand comment about knowing how to do research. I headcanon that before the Great War, Arcee was in an analytical job, and since I'm crossing over with TFA, she could also at one point have been a teacher. Perhaps the equivalent of a grad student while teaching? With rebuilding Cybertron, she brings back those skills and starts some sort of intelligence organization. Perhaps it is in correspondence with Smokescreen and the Archive. She is also a great mentor to Smokescreen and she easily takes leadership role in the field when necessary. Arcee is the one who finds out Bee's memory gets wiped. She is quick to anger - as we see in her interactions with Starscream and Arachnid - and demands the council to return Bumblebee's memories. This does not go as planned, and the council retaliates and she goes into a comatose state, bringing us into TFA. But she has friends, and they notice her absence.

This brings in the Wreckers. With Cybertron going backwards, Bulkhead returns to construction. At first, he doesn't mind. Afterall, he has the knowledge for it, and in Predacons Rising, he currently is all they have. Unfortunately, this comes to haunt him as it allows the council to make a case for functionalism. All that fighting, wasted. Bulkhead never gets the chance to be something new. Until Wheeljack reaches out. With his knowledge in engineering, Wheeljack becomes the chief engineer on cybertron. Meaning that he is in charge of building space bridges, figuring out planetary weapons systems, communication technology, space travel, ect. Meaning, he figures out what happened to Arcee. And Project Omega. Wheeljack has learned that going solo isn't always the best move. But he keeps things Wrecker style. Since he knows the council listens in on his new communication network, he reaches out to Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus on the old Wrecker channel. It is time to bring the band back together. Or so they think. The rescue mission of Arcee fails, Bulkhead's memory is also wiped, and Ultra Magnus forced into a deeper corner of the council. They try to wipe Wheeljack's memory, but he is the chief engineer who suffered torture under a cortical psychic patch, he is able to retain his memories, but hides that fact. Even Ultra Magnus thinks his memory has been wiped. Wheeljack keeps a low radar with the council and remains the chief engineer. But he is rebellious, so he informs Ratchet.

So, to sum up our main characters: 2 have lost their memory, 1 is comatose, 2 are in political peril, 1 is undercover, 1 is disgraced, and 1 is dead.

Now we get to the plot of this AU.

Ratchet is disgraced by the council and autobots don't like that he works with a decepticon, former or not. His ability to do anything is greatly hindered. But he is still a medic with a valid practicing license and naturally, Sparklings need check ups. Enter the revival AU. Ratchet never thought his deceased friend and leader would ever return, but science is indisputable and he is very good at medicine and he patched up the Prime hundreds of times. He knows Optimus' spark signature when he sees it. How is it possible? Well, Ratchet never considered himself religious, but after battling Unicron and seeing a revived Megatron, perhaps religion has some merit. And Spark signatures are unique to individuals. There are no accounts of repeat spark signatures. The only logical explanation is this is the work of Primus. But Ratchet has no love of the council, so with the help of Knockout, they meet with Ultra Magnus secretly. So, only those 3 know Optimus has returned. But he is only a sparkling, and hasn't Optimus sacrificed enough? So, Optimus is returned to his caretaker to live a life free of his past hardship. Like Optimus Prime said before he entered the Well, it is up to them to rebuild Cybertron for the better. If only they could do some serious changes.

So, little Optimus grows up in a Cybertron rebuilding and no one talking about the Great War. All he has is the propaganda the council gives out. So why would he need to go to the Archives to learn? He has his teachers and he knows his function will be to put out fires or haul things due to his size, even though a part of him desires to be an Elite Guard. He eventually joins the academy and here we have TFA fully kick in. He befriends Elita-1 and Sentinel the same, catches the attention of Ultra Magnus the same way (or so he thinks. The mech is the leader of Cybertron, of course he has his ways to keep tabs on the former Prime) gets kicked out after losing Elita-1 (or so he thinks - Ultra Magnus wants him away from the council, so kicking him out was the best he could do), yet Ultra Magnus, with the help of Wheeljack, pulls a few strings to get Optimus' crew. Team Prime is almost back together. Afterall, it's not like the council wants Ratchet on the planet, and how would they know it is the very same Optimus?

The TFA plot mainly stays the same, except the Allspark is a little different. Here, the Allspark was supposedly returned to the Well. How it gets into space, I am still working that out. I might have to bring in TFA lore for this, intertwining it with the return of the decepticons and Megatron. But Ratchet has a fit when they find it ("Optimus sacrificed his life so that relic would return to the Well! And this is the thanks he gets?) he almost is glad when it gets shattered into pieces. But the Allspark also terrifies him after seeing his friend give his life for it. Ratchet does his best to keep Optimus away from the Allspark, even though Primus seems to find a way for Optimus to keep interacting with it.

Now this is getting long, so I'm going to end it here. But there is still a lot more to cover in this AU! Specifically the Decepticons. And how does Bumblebee and Bulkhead get their memories back? Wheeljack? Does Ultra Magnus tell Wheeljack of Optimus' true identity when he helps put his crew together on Teletran-1? How does Ultra Magnus change from being a kind SIC to the strict military leader of Cybertron? Does he get redeemed? Or is he the example of a tragic tale of political bargaining? What happens to Smokescreen? Do the TFP kids meet Sari Sumdac? Do they meet the autobots in Detroit, or does Ratchet warn them to keep their distance? What changes happen with Sentinel's and Optimus' friendship once his former life is revealed? When happens when Optimus learns the truth?

[spanishskulduggery]

con respecto a situaciones hipotéticas, ¿cuál es la diferencia entre la condicional y el imperfecto del subjuntivo?

Por ejemplo, ¿hay una diferencia en el significado de las siguientes frases?:

— Si las ballenas hablasen, ¿qué nos dirían?

— Si las ballenas podrían hablar, ¿qué nos dirían?

I have to explain this in English because my Spanish isn't good enough to explain just how confusing this topic is, even for Spanish-speakers

First, hablasen is more typically used in Spain; makes perfect sentence, Latin America might use si las ballenas hablaran - way too much history behind that to explain it properly without going on a full tangent

Okay, but when it comes to imperfect subjunctive and conditional, know that Spanish-speakers have the exact same problem as English in that sometimes they use the same words for different tenses

What I mean is, English says "if I were rich" [imperfect subjunctive] but will also say "if I was rich" where "was" is more specifically past tense but gets used everywhere enough to make you wonder what tense you're using

...

According to formal Spanish grammar, Spanish-speakers will typically use imperfect subjunctive for the "if" statement, and the "then" statement is conditional

Which means it really should be hablasen/hablaran and then dirían

BUT sometimes people WILL use the conditional for both sides of it

This is especially true if you're seeing "should have"... because it's almost always debería in conditional; in general "coulda, woulda, shoulda" is all conditional in Spanish

...

The way I try to rationalize it to people is that imperfect subjunctive is a "contrary to fact" statement in hypotheticals. Something that isn't true but IF IT WERE TRUE [imperfect subjunctive], then what WOULD HAPPEN [conditional]

The more doubtful or unrealistic the statement is, the more imperfect subjunctive makes sense

That's why you'll almost always see como si fuera "as if it were", or lo que fuera "whatever it was"

Subjunctive introduces a below 50% chance of doubt pretty much; if it's more than 50% then it's indicative mood, in this case the conditional tense - that's a really broad statement and I can't say it's always the case, but that's how I try to tell people to think of it

...

And of course any subjunctive phrases in the past will be using imperfect subjunctive just because that's what it is

In hypothetical situations, imperfect subjunctive feels like a true unlikely scenario, while conditional usually feels like a possible plan for the future

si pudiera hablar contigo "if I were able to speak with you" sounds so unlikely that it comes off deferential

si podría hablar contigo "if I could speak with you" feels like a polite request

That's how it works usually (outside of "should've" and "would've" and "could've" when talking about things that happened in the past)

.......

Anyway, all of that to say, both of those examples are technically possible because some people avoid imperfect subjunctive altogether because it is a pain

But - avoiding historical stuff and other rules and exceptions - I would go with si las ballenas hablasen/hablaran personally

When you aren't looking

Disclaimer: Hello! This is my first ever piece on this website so I hope it reaches the right audience! I'm still a little new to this so if you have any tips for how to get better accustomed to the app I'd be happy to learn!

I've recently had a hyperfixation on Dan Heng so hopefully this expresses my love for him psfjdhfjsj HELP THERE'S A FEW SPELLING MISTAKES

TW: Might be a little sad, Dan Heng ignores reader due to his feelings, Dan Heng hopelessly in love with you and terrified of his feelings towards you. Readers birthday, mwah!

Dan Heng couldn't comprehend it. His feelings for you have skyrocketed and he can't help but get a feeling at the bottom of his stomach whenever he sees you.

He doesn't like what you've done to him these past few months since you first joined him and the others. He couldn't find it in his heart to trust you after the effect you had on him so drastically but he also couldn't help not let you into his heart through your caring actions towards the others. How you communicate with March 7th, it makes his heart flutter and the way you make coffee for Himeko before her waking up.

He wonderered what you haven't done to make everyone's life just that inch more easier. Even Pom Pom adored you in their own little way.

What really hit the nail on the coffin for Dan Heng was when you found him awake in the dead of night when even Welt himself was asleep. You carefully approached him with a careful hand on his shoulder, making him shiver whenever he remembers the event.

"Would you like a cup of coffee? Tea, perhaps?" he knew you could see the bags under his eyes and the messy nest ontop of his head, yet all you did was offer him a hot beverage. You could have told him to go to sleep but he knew you knew that would have done nothing. And for that, he slowly started opening up to you. From a distance that is.

You had in fact won him over but his crippling fear of rejection stopped him. He couldn't face you again after he came to the conclusion he doesn't feel the same way he does with you with Himeko or March for example. How would you react if you saw him smile ever so gently whenever you help someone or whenever you explain to March why Welt has his phone brightness too high and can't change it due to his lack of expertise in mobile phones, causing March to giggle and try take Welt's phone.

So, he began to ignore you. And it did hurt him to see March come in his room without you because he simply couldn't see you. You had caught on quite quickly after the 3rd or 4th time he kept making excuses to not being able to spend time with you.

As time passed, your birthday was finally here and of course you felt horrible because this amazing boy was ignoring you, and of course you told March who felt the need to scold him personally and escort, as she frased it the, "Sorry Looking Emo Potato Salad" to the meeting held in place for your birthday. He of course had said previously that he was busy sorting out the files of the new monsters you had stumbled across and it would take the whole day. You felt your eyes tear up when he came in startled and with a face full of shame and desire to run away from the situation.

"March.. It's okay, he said he was busy. Honestly, Dan Heng it's okay, go do what you have to do." it angered you that the one you most wanted to spend your birthday with couldn't be bothered but your interest rised when he pulled out a little dark green envelope and a blue bag with a Happy Birthday plastered on it. It looked like his handwriting so perhaps it almost made up for him ignoring you all this time. Almost.

"Oh..? Thank you Dan Heng! I know you've been really busy these few weeks. So I appreciate it!" you were still upset but alot less now that you've seen the boy and you had a beautifully wrapped gift inside from him, there was shredded navy blue tissue paper covering the top.

"Happy Birthday Y/N. I'm sorry I haven't seen you much. I have to go now. If you don't like it or it isn't right, come to my room later tonight. I want you to open the envelope and my present last, please."

With that, the boy was off again. And instead of the feeling of sadness and hurt wash over you, you felt quite happy and curious for what he could have gotten you.

"Well that was weird.. Oh Y/N, Y/N!! Look at my gift!" you went on and started opening the rest of your presents, almost forgetting about the raven haired boy and his mysterious envelope and present.

After the little party, you found yourself ecstatic. You were going to have a sleepover with March after you got dressed and changed your out of your beautiful birthday outfit. Himeko wouldn't stop complimenting you and your colour combinations. It made you feel special.

Just as you were about to leave, from the corner of your eye, you see the little bag. You had put the envelope inside and from there you took it upstairs, having a quick chat with Welt and then changing.

You picked it up and saw a rectangular box, as you carefully tear off the paper, you see a stunning pair of earrings, they matched your everyday work outfit and still stood out, in the light shining your favourite shade of (F/C). You felt so full and empty at the same time, these must have cost a fortune but they were so fricking pretty. They made you laugh softly.

You had only discovered your feelings for him a week before he started disappearing on you. You made him that hot beverage and took him to his room, helping him put the last of his data he had collected and took his mug when he was finished. That moment was so domestic and made you strangely happy. You couldn't see yourself doing that for anyone other than March and you loved her like a sister.

The envelope caught your attention, as you begin to open it you hear a knock at your door, "Y/N! Are you coming?" March did have a habit of being impatient.

"Yes! One second, I'll be right there March." as she walked away, you opened the envelope, noticing the little pattern engraved onto the paper inside and on the envelope itself. It had a scent to it, as if Dan Heng himself hugged the letter and it caught his perfume.

Dear Y/N,

I'm sorry I've been so distant lately. I've grown to like you more than a friend would, and it hurts me every time I ignore you and you hurt. I've been afraid of rejection almost my entire life and I could not stand to lose another person I have grown to love. If you do not feel the same way, please ignore this letter. I just felt the need to explain myself because you deserve it. I've been selfish.

Yours, Dan Heng.

You've never sped walked to his room faster.

I cannot imagine what was going through Vigo’s head during the whole “shell shocked” debacle.

He is in the midst of the hardened dragon riders that have been beating his ass for years. Worse he is completely at their mercy and all of his men -including his own brother- have turned on him.

And as for the dragon riders: they are a band of high schoolers who speak primarily in riddles and inside jokes.

One of the dragon riders averages no more than five full sentences an hour and most of those are incoherently insane responses to her brother’s even more in insane questions.

One dragon rider appears to have a side job as babysitter for a baby dragon that is also the god of a neighboring island.

His mastermind enemy has a terminal illness/gambling problem that the angry blonde girl is helping with(???)

One dragon rider alternately speaks like Shakespeare and clucks like a chicken. He also is in love with a mace.

And one of them is just a coward with daddy issues and an uncontrollable dragon.

HE CANONICALLY LISTEN TO THE TWINS CATCH-FRASES AND WORKSHOPED WITH THEM!

The f1 community learned the frase regency bias and now every time someone compliments a driver they don't like and/or don't compliments a driver they like is regency bias. It's kinda tiring how they can't just enjoy the sport and have to play analysts when they don't have the credentials for it.

this is unfortunately how all internet spaces work esp with the average user becoming younger and learning new terminology through its social media reference. social media for a lot of young people and even ppl in their 20s like me is a primary spruce of information and socialisation and in so its natural that they will develop with their surroundings and what is prevalent on social media is performativity; which isn't technically a word but im using it to mean the act of speaking and acting in a performative nature. and im using that to mean that a lot of how we interact on one comes from trying to prove our credibility to the people around us and this is how it always has been in fan spaces- I remember being a kid and showing off tings like Pokemon trading cards or moshi monsters figurine collections and others doing similar things because we want to communicate that we are a credible part of the community and are knowledgable on the interest at hand. Im trying not to make this too long but basically what im saying is that the increase in accessibility to social media increases the range of people that you will be reacting with and want to fit in with and as particularly younger members of any community are introduced to. anew term they develop an understanding to it in a specific context in which it is always relevant to them. The understanding of what the words is intended to be used for becomes irrelevant in a sense because this is the only environment in which a lot of people will see it be used .

I talked about this on my other blog a while back but to give another example of how this develops look at the word 'victim'.

recently on twitter there was an incident in which a creator claimed to be a 'victim' of another creator- the highlighted incident was not being responded to in a video game lobby of 10 people. The use of victim rings alarm bells in peoples heads because that is a serious phrase but the question was never asked- a victim of what? the creator tried to say it was misogyny in the end because they are afab but again the referential event didnt show any misogyny- just a non response from someone in a video game where 10 people were talking at once but the internet took it by storm to spread awareness about this victims story. there was no harm or helplessness inflicted upon the creator nor was there a hoax to fall victim too there was no expression of why they felt victimised. victim in this case refers to anybody who has had a negative experience with another person.

'recency bias' faces a similar fate. yes there are conversations to be had about the recency bias in journalism and commentary in f1 and in toxic fan spaces but it is being applied to any instance of a driver who has faced recent success or misfortune. being a Ferrari fan you see both sides of the coin- instagram comments are full of middle aged men calling Charles washed up when that isn't true, and logging onto here ive had to block several accounts for complaining my appreciation for Carlos is just recency bias and I should look at the career scores for each driver . and thats where the issue is its being used to fundamentally compare two drivers it is used in arguments to demean another fan and prove someone else's favourite driver. the same with Hamilton and max. stroll and Alonso have gotten it recently. its not being used for its intended purpose because people have only perceived it in reference to driver comparisons and continue to perpetuate that relevancy.

its all to do with critical thinking really, as critical thinks skills are showing declines people are less likely to critically engage with the work at hand applying major bias to their perspectives or furthering the performativity of online spaces by engaging in discourse with a black and white perspective

A sobering realization

There’s a lot of things I think am and also a lot of things I think I am not. Sometimes they are contradictory, but in my head this still makes sense, both can be true. I am not moody. I am, though. I am detail oriented. I am emotional. I am not emotional. I like attention. I hate attention. I am unfocused. I get hyper-fixated. I’m realistic, and literal, but also…fantastical?

Three weeks ago, I turned 28. I always thought I liked attention because of how much I love my birthday. But only this year have I started to accept I am uncomfortable with attention. I don’t know though. Everyone likes attention, to some degree. What is the line? 

These past 2 weeks, I have been working on systematic literature review data extraction, which is the bane of my existence. It is like it sounds - extraction - nitpicking and extricating the minutest of information into a huge rectangular spreadsheet made up of even more countless, smaller cells. If I ever thought I was detail oriented, I have been proven wrong by data extraction. Is observational period the same thing as follow-up time? What if a study has two potential study designs? How to read a Kaplan-Meier curve? 

As I was meandering along at a turtle pace, I finally got that aha moment where everything started making sense. Unfortunately, it came two days before the deadline, which prompted me into two late nights of working at a manic pace. If I get it now, though, am I detail oriented? 

A couple days ago, I saw a promotional interview clip of Kim Jiwon for her new drama. One of the comments read, “You can see the stars in her eyes.” It reminded me of all the book-isms I read growing up, with an abundance of characters having “a twinkle in their eye,” or kisses that felt like “exploding fireworks.” I don’t know if I expected beams of light radiating out of people’s eyes or heart palpitations so strong it felt like fireworks going off inside, but I didn’t get it. My first kiss was just a kiss (I blame books for expecting anything more) and only after looking at the dead, empty eyes in mugshots of serial killers do I see what twinkle-full and twinkle-less eyes are like. Other times, however, I'm over-romanticizing everything. I swear my powder blue alpaca knit sweater cardigan is magical and will transform me into a mystical lady that lives in a cottage on the moors of Finland. And then I look in the mirror and think it makes me look frumpy. I still cannot decide.

A while back, Junwon showed me this new game Frase, where you solve an anagram. Theoretically, I should’ve loved this game from the get go. The first time I played it though, it was really hard. I felt defeated. (How come Junwon got it faster than me? I should be better than him.) So I quit. In Boston, I started playing with him again and coincidentally got the answer faster one of the days. I’ve been playing since (lol). Last night, I got the puzzle right in 21 seconds, got a subsequent adrenaline rush, and felt on top of the world. Then I felt slightly perturbed. How come I’m so back and forth, up and down, am and am not, yes and no with everything?

Flighty. The word is flighty. I am just flighty :(

UCONN HUSKIES TOPS UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA-ANCHORAGE IN OT

By: Sam Zis, Howlings STORRS, CT – Propelled by two goals from Hudson Schandor, the University of Connecticut Huskies defeated the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves in overtime, 4-3, in front of 2,691 at the first-ever students-only hockey game at Tuscano Family Ice Forum Thursday night. At 2:37 of overtime, Ryan Tverberg found Schandor open and hit him with a tape-to-tape pass. Schandor then beat Seawolves goalie Jared Whale for the game-winner and his second goal of the game.  Despite the need for overtime, the Huskies controlled the contest throughout. The Seawolves were dominant early, coming out of the gate quickly about building a 7-1 lead in shots in the first five of the game. After a lot of back-and-forth play, the Huskies broke through first with 8:39 left in the period. Schandor tallied his first of the game off a sparkling pass from Justin Pearson. The puck hit Whale but found a way to squeeze into the net. The Huskies had a power play opportunity at 15:17, Seawolves forward Connor Marrit took a tripping penalty, but despite some solid scoring chances, the Huskies still went to the locker room up 1-0 and managed to even up the shots at ten.   If there were any nerves on either bench to start the game, they were a distant memory by the time the second period started. The game was much more fluid, and both teams established flow and some consistency in their respective game. UConn doubled their lead at 9:48 and broke the silence of the second frame off a slick deflection goal by Tristan Frase and assisted by Harrison Rees and Tabor Heaslip The Seawolves would finally break through and cut the lead in half with just over 4 minutes left to play in the period. Jared White Buried a rebound on the power play. The assist was given to Dylan Findlay. To start the third period, the Huskies were put on a power play when Seawolves defenseman Carson Kosobud took a cross-checking penalty at 2:00.  The Huskies capitalized as Connecticut native Nick Capone whizzed a one-timer past Whale to make it 3-1 in favor of the home team.  But the Seawolves refused to quietly and again cut the Huskies' two-goal advantage in half just 35 seconds later when freshman forward Conor Cole found Matt Allen in front of the net for a point-blank shot, and it was 3-2.  Despite the Huskies' dominant play, the Seawolves found the equalizer at 13:04 when Alex Gomez finished off a rebound surrendered by UConn netminder Logan Terness (28 saves) of a Maximilion Helgeson shot. The Huskies pressed for the game-winner in regulation; however, they couldn’t beat the skilled Seawolves netminder.  After two unanswered goals to end regulation, it might have seemed to some that the Seawolves were in control with momentum, but the Huskies came out to OT on a mission.  No underestimating the fantastic effort from Whale (36 saves) that gave the Seawolves life in the game.  The University of Connecticut Huskies are set to face off against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats at home Saturday at 3:05 PM. UConn improves to 18-10-3 on the season and 6-2-3 in overtime. UCONN HOCKEY HOME Read the full article

Your art and comic bring me so much joy!!

I wanted to ask donyiu have any advice on making typing quirks for trolls? I feel like my ocs typing quirks are...hmmn how to say this unfitting? If that nakes sense?

Thank you!

i'm not sure if i have a good answer for that because the dialogs in my comic are quirkless to make it more easy and faster to type, but i think typing quirks can be separated in two. Voice imitation, and Personal expresion

Voice imitation it's a way to represent the accent on a character's voice

Like how Karkat's quirk it's all caps, the universal text language for yelling, because he, indeed, yells a lot all the time. Also how the ups and downs on Gamzee's quirk gives the impresion that he can't keep his voice steady, like he is drunk (or high to be more specific) and how when sober, his personality splits and so does his quirk, he goes from alternating uppercase and lower case letters like he is speaking in a funny drunk voice, to messages in either full upper case (representing yelling) and full lower case (representing cold calm)

or how Tavros's represents how he starts every frase on a lower tone, kinda shy and then gets louder, with comas that represent the way he kinda cut's himself off, but never finishing a sentence

This quirks represent the troll's speach pattern

Personal expresion it's when the quirk it's based on something that represent's the troll themselves

Vriska ads eight eyes to every emoji, ads the number 8 to replace certain letters and when using multiple interrogation or exclamation marks they are always grups of eigth, all this because her closeness to spiders and their eight eyes, having been raised by a spider and having 8 eyes herself. also, she tends to add a higher amount of this quirks if she is angry, kinda showing how the angrier she gets the more spider like she becomes (comes from her lusus)

Nepeta adds the double cat face and double threes in reference to her lusus too, and speaks as if she is a roleplay, becasue thats one of her favorite things to do and Equius does a similar thing adding arrows to his texts, because thats a sport he would like to be able to do, also the % simbol to represent he cares about castes and the hemospectrum

This are all things that the trolls find that identify themselves, their parents, their blood, their hobbies or simply themselves

The quirks represent what makes them themselves

Both voice imitation and personal expresion

Sollux adding double letters "i" to represent his symbol but also, along with replacing the letter "s" with the number "2" both represent the duality thats asociated with gold bloods, specially psionics. But this also can represent his speach pattern and how he has a lisp when he talks

Aradia's quirk it's suposed to represent both how hollow she is inside (because she is literally dead) but also her speach pattern being devoided of emotion

So that's mostly what i can tell you about typing quirks. whatever your troll is asociated to, an animal, a sport an ideology it could reflect on their quirk. the other option it's to replicate their speach patter and therefore have their personality always present on the dialogs or you can find a way to have both at the same time

find ways to represent objets and things with emojis, remember nothing it's too lame, this are kids and tenagers trying to come out with something original and quirky (pun intended). Characters in homestuck would sometimes forget to use their own quirks or push themselves to write specific words just to show them more Even if your ocs are adults this quirks have been developing since childhood so there is no shame in them beeing kinda dumb~

[shadowsif]

How would the ros react to seeing the mc wearing their clothes? (In relationship stage ofc)

This is a lovely prompt and I'm sorry but I'm feeling a little weird and so if the answers are odd and confusing I'm sorry! 😭

I just hope it's not fever or sunstroke that would be just swell

Darin

Amused, warm feelings. If it’s winter or just cold and the item of clothing is a cloak, or something else to keep you warm inside the stone walls. 

“You trying to steal more from me?” Darin asks and he doesn’t mind whatever your eye has caught inside his, annoyingly, full wardrobe. 

“What have I ever stolen?” 

Darin smirks and draws you in his arms. Presses your ear against his heart. Before he can say anything like the cheesy one liner that must be on the tip of his tongue, you punch him in the side. 

In summary: 

Doesn’t mind it. The opposite infact

especially sleepwear or the like (comparable to stealing t-shirts or smth to sleep in) makes your relationship seem more real, more ‘normal’ even if it’s anything but

Especially if you are smaller and drowning in his shirts. That's the best look. (you know why)

Kallas

Are you wearing the clothes properly? Kallas is very particular about her outfits and it would be such a waste for you to rip something while climbing, jumping or whatever it is you do when you jump out of the window. Clothes should also fit the purpose and body type of the wearer. So, will ask if you are lacking proper clothes and offer to go shopping with (or without you).

“We could have matching ones! Compliment each other in every way.” Her eyes get wide and she smiles when taking your hand. Almost vibrating with excitement. 

“I’d let everyone else know how beautiful you are. It’s such a shame you have to hide every time you wear that drab outfit.” She eyes your ‘working’ outfit with distaste. 

“Just..” you stop and think how to frase it, so it will not be so stupid, “something nice to wear when it’s just the two of us?” Kallas smiles, brighter than the sun and kisses your cheek softly. 

“Anything you want, love.”

In summary: 

Doesn’t mind it if you’re respectful of the clothes and their intended wear

Will absolutely get you matching stuff if that’s something you’d want (might still get you something)

Hede

You have shared most of your stuff through your childhood. When you get together romantically and share a room, all of your clothing is in piles and mixed with each other. Whose shirt was it in the beginning? Doesn’t matter, it’s shared property now. Hede (regardless of gender) is tall, thin with long limbs so if you have much difference in body type it will be either hilarious or sweet. Croptops and shirts past knees, anyone? 

The only things that are still your own are your weapons, a box full of mementos etc, your armor/’uniform’. And your masks. 

Ora

In summary: 

*insert bugs bunny "ours" meme*

Takes a while to notice. They are so used to seeing themselves and everyone else in the most basic outfits of undyed linen and wool or the livery of the King. If you are sneaky and wash the things you could probably carry on wearing their clothes indefinitely. For someone who's really good at lists and organizing things for everyone else they are rather blind to those they trust. If you make a point of wearing it openly, maybe give a hint or two, Ora will blush and stammer something.

“Why do you need the feel to take mine? I’m sure your own clothes are much better anyway,” Ora looks at you, face stern but a blush covering their cheeks at your continued grinning. You loop your arms around their shoulders, bringing your noses together. 

“It smells like you. It feels like you’re there hugging me even when you run around the place like it will fall for ruin if you don’t handle everything yourself.” You say and the blush stays but now Ora sneaks their arm around your waist, hugging you closer. 

“I hope you take the clean ones at least.” 

In summary:

Why are you stealing my clothes? That’s weird, there’s nothing unique about them.

Are you saying i’m smelly? No, ok. Good?

Oh, it’s a possessive thing? Carry on then and may I have something of yours as well?

[spanishskulduggery]

Hi! I'm studying B1.2/B2 level Spanish and I want to learn * words to express things more*...(recently I learned,, conectores del discurso,, and some ,,frases hechas,,)

I'm sorry if you already posted something like this, I'm a new follower and I just saw that you have this account since 2013! (P.S.between it's hard for me to study words for any language; I have to write 1 word 10 times to memorize it,and others just read it once)

Have a great day!🌸

So I'm going to attach some of the (what I call) academic connectors. They're just words that I find really helpful for explaining things or especially in oral exams or written exams to sound more coherent and link your sentences together.

I suppose the more correct term is something like particles of speech or something along those lines, but they're the kinds of phrases you will want to know if you have any intention of writing in Spanish and especially if it's in an academic setting:

de una manera u otra = one way or another de una forma u otra = one way or another

apenas = hardly, barely a duras penas = hardly, barely

a secas = plainly, simply

en lugar de, en vez de = instead (of) [you’d phrase this as en lugar de algo “instead of something”, or en su lugar “in its stead” or “in its place”; it takes some getting used to]

por (el) otro lado = “on the other hand”

que yo sepa = as far as I know que tú sepas = as far as you know que nosotros sepamos = as far as we know [follows conjugation rules for subjunctive saber]

es decir (que)... = that is to say..., in other words...

o sea... = in other words...

And obviously por and para which are their own issue but they come up a lot. Which is understandable but they’re a big hurdle even for people in the C levels

There are others that are better understood with examples because it’s not enough to just write it. So:

aun vs. aún -aun with no accent is “even” and is synonymous with hasta or incluso -aún with the accent is “yet” and is synonymous with todavía

o sea -The expression o sea is used as “in other words”; do not confuse it with óseo/a which is “osseous” or “bone-related”, an adjectival form of hueso “bone”. Some people do write it as one word “osea” but it really should be separate... and sea is technically subjunctive ser

certain expressions with femenino de indeterminación -a solas “one-on-one” or “privately” -a sabiendas “knowing full well” -a ciegas “blindly” or “in the dark” -a escondidas “secretly”  And many others, some of which were in the longer vocab list above

subjunctive phrases [use with care] -There are many phrases with subjunctive that you eventually need to know and they can be helpful in essays, though again this is its own topic. Things like para que “so that (something will happen)” or con tal (de) que “as long as (something happens)” are sort of subjunctive phrases of unmet conditions... things like “unless” or “until” things happen are subjunctive in many cases. Some like aunque become “although” with indicative and “even though / even if” in subjunctive... I say use with care because this is more of a functional vocab list not a grammar lesson.

solo, sólo, y solamente -solo/a as an adjective means “only/single/a single person” or it means “alone” -solo as an adverb is synonymous with sólo. The accent mark there is a vocal inflection so it’s like “ONLY”. You use either as “only” or “just”. Since it’s an adverb, solo will not change for gender/plural -solamente is “solely” and is synonymous with solo/sólo

pero vs. sino -pero is “but” when you’re changing the topic or providing different information; no es de Alemania pero habla alemán “he’s not German but he speaks German” -sino is “but rather” when you’re correcting someone’s statement; no es alemán sino francés “he’s not German (but rather), he’s French”

I would also say it’s worth understanding how ya works because it’s got a lot of uses

I’m also going to attach some links to my tags that will help you navigate and find more of what you might be interested in:

Vocabulary

Idiomatic Expressions (especially the older entries tend to be more universal; the newer ones are expressions I tend to find and am interested in sharing so if you go into my archive and look for the tag “idiomatic expressions” or “expresiones idiomaticas”

Grammar ...which is probably not what you need right at this moment, but in case you want to peruse my stuff on different grammatical concepts I have everything from present tense to imperfect subjunctive

vi ricordate il delirio chiellucci che nacque con "I like you when you whine"? ho scritto una fic ispirata a quella frase. enjoy! (nsfw under the cut)

"Shhh, stay still, I'll take care of you."

Leo put his hands down and tried to relax. He was laying on his bed, still wearing his pants, with Giorgio on top of him leaving a trail of sweet kisses on his neck.

"You did so good today" said Giorgio between kisses. He started unbottoning Leo's pants. "So good. You were so good."

A shiver ran down Leo's spine. Yes, he played well during the match, he even scored a penalty that made them win. Everyone already congratulated him, but hearing Giorgio praise him like that was a completely different story. He craved his validation like a starving man, it didn't matter that Giorgio was always the first to praise him whenever he did something good. It was never enough for him.

Giorgio took off his pants, then proceeded to do the same with his own. "You did so good, I think you deserve a prize, don't you think?"

Giorgio's cheeky smile made him swallow his own spit. "Yeah" he said in response. Giorgio always liked when he was vocal about what he wanted.

"Turn over, then."

Leo did what he was told. He heard Giorgio's hand reach for the lube on the night stand, then the sound of him untapping it. Giorgio left one last kiss on the back of his neck. "Do you want to be good for me, too?"

Leo nodded, then, when Giorgio still didn't do or say anything, added: "Yes."

Only then he felt a finger entering him. He moaned.

Giorgio played with him with only that one finger for a while, and Leo was starting to become impatient. He wanted more. Needed more.

"Giorgio, c'mon, I am ready for another, c'mon..." he said, panting. The friction wasn't nearly enough, he wanted to feel split in two by Giorgio's cock inside of him, wreaking him, making him a mess.

Giorgio heard his protests, so he added two more fingers. That was better.

He still didn't seem to have any intention of using his cock.

Leo moaned in frustration. His cock was hard between his legs, but it was still untouched, and Giorgio didn't seem to want to fuck him properly yet. He started rutting on his bed, pushing Giorgio's fingers even more inside of him, but it wasn't enough, it wasn't nearly enough.

Giorgio put his free hand on his back to stop him. "Greedy, aren't we?" he chuckled. He seemed to be having so much fun.

Leo was starting to get pissed. "You know very well what you're doing, if you don't fuck me right now I swear to God-"

The fingers inside of him finally hit the right spot, making him moan loudly. His dick twitched.

"If I don't fuck you, what?"

Giorgio's mouth was now near his ear. His fingers continued to hit that spot mercilessly, and Leo couldn't help but moan every time. It still wasn't enough. He wanted to be full. He wanted to feel Giorgio's dick inside of him, and he wanted him now.

"Please" he said. He didn't care if he was pleading like a bitch, he just wanted to be fucked. "Please please please please. Please, Giorgio."

Suddenly, Giorgio took his fingers out of him, leaving Leo with a feeling of emptiness inside of him. It didn't last long. Leo felt Giorgio adjusting behind him, while one of his hands went to his hip to guide him and put him where he wanted. Leo felt the tip of his dick brush against his entrance. He hold his breath.

Giorgio's mouth was again near his ear. "Please Giorgio, what?"

Fucking fuck, that motherfucker. "Please Giorgio, fuck me. Fuck me fuck me fuck me fu- FUCK!"

Giorgio pushed his dick inside of him with one, smooth move. Leo felt like he had been split in two. He didn't have time to adjust to the sensation of fullness, though, because Giorgio pulled it out almost all the way, excruciatingly slow, then slammed it back inside. And again. And again.

All Leo could do was to put a hand on the headboard to stay still, moaning at every push, chanting "yes, like that, yes" over and over again. Giorgio moved, covered him with his whole body and put an arm around his shoulders to help him keep still. His warm breath was near his ear, his dick was getting even deeper inside of him. Leo was completely surrounded by Giorgio, his weight was pushing him down on the bed, making him incapable of moving. He fucking loved it.

"Harder" he begged, without any shame whatsoever. At that point, he didn't give a shit. "Fuck me harder, c'mon, do it!"

Giorgio, that little shit, fucking stopped. "What, Leo? I can't hear you."

Leo whined. "You know what I've said. Fuck me like you mean it, c'mon!"

He tried to move his hips, but Giorgio stopped him. "Then beg" he whispered.

A shiver run down his spine. "Please fuck me harder. Please, Giorgio, please."

Giorgio chuckled. "I like you when you whine." Then, he he started pounding again inside of him. He quickly picked up the pace, and soon he was slamming his dick inside of Leo mercilessly. Leo was moaning like a fucking whore, and he didn't have a fuck.

"You're so good to me, yeah?" said Giorgio, without slowing down his rhythm. "So good. So fucking good."

Leo's dick was throbbing. He was getting at his limit. He couldn't talk, he just continued moaning at Giorgio's words of praise.

"Look at you, you love it when I fuck you, don't you?" A particularly loud moan escaped from Leo's throat. "Yeah, you love it, and you're so good at it, you fit so well. You are so fucking tight, you know that? So good. You're so good."

Giorgio's words were getting repetitive, sign that he, too, was close, but Leo didn't care. He was too far gone to notice, he just knew that every word spoken by Giorgio was getting him closer and closer to the edge.

"Come for me" Giorgio whispered. "Come for me now."

Leo came.

He returned into himself after a few moments. Giorgio was still pounding inside of him, repeating over and over again "Good, Leo, you did good, so good to me" until he came, too.

Giorgio pulled his cock out, then he pushed himself to lay down on Leo's side. They were both panting hard.

Leo pinched Giorgio's stomach. "Hey!" he protested.

"You are such a dick, you know that?" he pouted.

Giorgio chuckled, then kissed him. "Well, you love my dick, so it's fine by me."

Leo was getting red, he could feel it, that bastard. "Shut up" he said, without conviction. It was hard to deny when literally one minute before he was coming with said dick inside his ass.

Giorgio kissed him once more, muttering a "sorry". He was still grinning, the dipshit.

Leo let it go and continued to kiss him languidly. In the end he got his prize, and it was all that mattered.

BlackPink Reaction to a Sassy & Sarcastic S/O

Thanks to the anon who requested this!

Jisoo

You were hired as the new photographer for BLACKPINK’s new magazine photoshoot, and you too carried a bit of a reputation yourself. So there was chemistry at first sight when you locked eyes with Jisoo.

Normally in these cases, people would expect some kind of traditional flirting, sheepish smiles and tender touches. But of course not this time, it’s Jisoo we’re talking about. Her energy instantly matched yours, sarcasm and teasing slaps flew around, actually confusing some of the people on set, making them think you actually didn’t like each other.

Snapping the solo pictures gave you and Jisoo some time to talk on your own, eventually falling into a wit battle between you two.

“I thought photographers were a bit more quiet.”

“It’s okay if you don’t like me, not everyone has good taste.”

“Oh no, I like them rebels.”

You looked up from the lenses, red coating your cheeks. You exchanged numbers right there and then, already setting a place and hour to your first date. The rest of the photoshoot was flooded with a strange energy, confusing people on what the heck was going on between you.

People who don't understand your relationship really look at you both and wonder how the hell are you two together since it always looks like you two hate each other. But of course it's just because they're not fluent in the great language of 🌈sarcasm🌈. 

Jennie

She laid eyes on you the instant you walked in the set for the new comeback as an assistant director and started joking around with the entire staff. Since she’s a little shy at the beginning when meeting new people, everyone was so surprised that you two hit it off right away with that level of confidence. The entire team was amazed at how easily you talked with her, but Jennie found a safe place in that you weren’t seeing her as Jennie from BLACKPINK. Just… Jennie.

At lunch break, you sat together on a box of supplies, and you couldn’t ignore how much she was staring at you with a certain sparkle in her eyes.

“I know looks aren’t everything, but I have them just in case.” You smirked.

“Really? Where?” She joked back.

You both bursted out laughing at how she was the first person to level up to you, not even taking the comeback as an offence, but glad that you found someone that talked your same language. After a few dates, it was no surprise to anyone when you started a serious relationship, a lot of people telling you “Yeah, you were destined from the beginning.”

But your relationship with Jennie was a 50/50 about this. Half the time she would be so done with it, she can have a soft side too, you know? You are incredibly understanding when she’s not in the mood for sassy remarks and it always makes her weak by the knees how you reserve the sweeter side of your personality just for her. But brace yourself for the other half cause when Jennie gets sassy, there's no one out doing her. 

Rosé 

Our sweet girl was so surprised when she crossed the door to the studio and found one more soul than usual in there. But there was something so alluring that didn’t let her eyes wander off of you. Maybe it was the way you looked like you had always belong there, joking heavily with everyone. Then it was her turn to enter the recording booth and review a pair of demos which you really liked and everyone thought had really great potential. Your presence made her a little nervous, she hid behind her hands, trying to conceal the tiny butterflies that your image nodding at the music made her feel.

“They’re mine, but I don’t really think I’m that good at writing…” She trembled.

“Oh, and I have a license to ride a goose though the skies.” You sneered. Rosé stared at you through the crystal, confused at your remark. You seeing the dumbfounded expression on her face decided to clarify, a smirk plastering across your face.

“Sorry, I thought we were saying impossible things.”

Red invaded her face, a flustered smile forming from cheek to cheek. The entire studio laughed at your remark, encouraging Rosé to keep working on her songs. It was the start of a really awesome friendship, and eventually a great relationship, she always felt so safe and protected with you and she marveled at your quick wit and how much you could make an entire room laugh without even breaking on a smile.

She also thinks it's a really really hot aspect of your personality. After a while she picks up some of your most usual frases, but she uses them only when she's in the mood for a little bit more than just kisses. 

Lisa

Lisa is not innocent but definitely a little bit naive, and even though this girl can speak 4 different languages, she’s still not so fluent in sarcasm.

She entered the dance studio as usual, greeting everyone ready for rehearsal. But she was surprised to find a new face among them, your incredibly big and imposing energy filling up her senses. Everyone laughed at some of your casual heavy jokes, but since you had a light crush on Lisa, part of you didn’t dare to look at her in the eyes, which created a bit of a conflict in her mind. She dwelled on the matter for the entirety of the rehearsal, thinking you might not really like her. But that still didn’t take out the fact that she couldn’t stop glancing at you in the mirror as you danced a few positions away from her. After the rehearsal, she grabbed all the courage she had to set the record straight, and approached you, searching in her mind for an excuse to talk to you.

“Hey, you’re really good at this, would you mind helping me a bit with the move we make on the chorus?” She mumbled.

“Sure gorgeous, for your eyes only.”

It was that precise moment when Lisa realized you didn’t hate her but in fact you were flirting back. You set more “dates” at the dance studio, with the excuse to be practicing for performances and reviewing moves. But those dates eventually moved outside, then became more personal and close. Some of those dates consist of teaching her how to be a bit more witty, something her unnies don’t really appreciate as much as you two do. And sometimes you still have to tone down or explain your jokes to her, but those she gets make her laugh like there’s no tomorrow, and it’s definitely a relationship so full of fun and love.

Apariencia: Katsumi es una joven de ojos café ceniza y cabello largo rubio, peinado con dos colas de caballo y mechones sueltos los cuales le tapan el lado izquierdo de su rostro y perforaciones en las orejas (En pocas palabras es la viva imagen de Deidara). Su principal peculiaridad es que en cada palma de sus manos tiene , con dientes afilados, lengua larga y glándulas salivales; la función de estas bocas es mascar y moldear arcilla especial.

Su vestimenta: consiste en un traje rojo, compuesto por una blusa corta, con cuello levantado y una blusa de red debajo de ella, también posee mangas separadas del chaleco de color rojas, lleva  una falda con aberturas en ambos lados con medias de red  y pantalones cortos sobre ellos y utilizaba las sandalias típicas de los ninjas (Su vestimenta era muy parecida a los de  iwagakure). En la parte de atrás de su cintura  lleva dos riñoneras en donde moldea la arcilla. Con esta arcilla, ella lleva a cabo su principal técnica: la creación de animales de arcilla cargados de chakra que se mueven como si fueran reales a voluntad de él, y que a su orden pueden explotar con gran potencia o incluso hacerse más grandes.

Personalidad: Katsumi es una chica carismática. Tienen una gran confianza en sí mismas, y les encanta ser el centro de atención. Es muy perfeccionista a la hora de trabajar en sus creaciones (armas). Es una joven enérgica y de acción. Puede ser muy generosa con sus seres queridos y le gusta malcriarlos (Al ser la primera de 3 hermanos menores suele ser muy  comprencible con ellos y mimarlos por ello en especial a su hermana más pequeña Fumiko). Incluso puede estar completamente involucrada en ayudar a las personas necesitadas.

Herramientas: Riñoneras con arcilla, porta shurikens, googlees, mascara de gas y guantes de nitrilo.

Habilidades:  Posee el Kekkei Genkai Explosivo al igual a su papá Deidara. Es especialista a largo alcance, pero a pesar de su predilección por la lucha a distancia, posee un buen nivel en Taijutsu  tiene la habilidad suficiente para contener una batalla cuerpo a cuerpo. Katsumi al tener su Kekkei Genkai Explosivo le permitía utilizar simultáneamente el Elemento Tierra con el Elemento Fuego  para dar a sus cualidades explosivas de Chakra. Katsumi posee bocas especiales en la palma de cada mano para crear Arcilla Explosiva que las detona  con el comando Katsu (喝) y un sello. La arcilla que utiliza puede ser moldeada en una gran variedad de formas, y puede ser controlada a voluntad. Esto le permite atacar a los oponentes a larga distancia.  Las creaciones de arcilla de Katsumi iban desde microscópicas a tamaño gigantesco lo que le permite adaptarse a cualquier situación. Incluso con frecuencia realiza la creación de aves para el transporte. Ella en sus bombas explosivas suele usar distintos tipos de veneno ya sea de animales o insectos. De preferencia escorpiones ya que es su insecto favorito. Cuando utiliza gases explosivos fuertes utiliza una mascara de gas y cuando los esta elaborando junto a sus hermanos utiliza guantes de Nitrilo con un traje de cuerpo completo.

Inteligencia: A pesar de su personalidad carismática. Katsumi es una kunoichi que planea sus batallas sistemáticamente, tomando en cuenta los puntos fuertes y débiles de sus adversarios, así como la manera de contrarrestarlos.  Al igual que su abuela Chiyo y su padre Sasori tiene un gran conocimiento del cuerpo humano por bases de anatomía médica y medicina herbaria para la elaboración de diferentes tipos de venenos y sus antídotos. Sus bombas están llenas de veneno, el cual pueden paralizar completamente el cuerpo y matar después de tres días de sufrimiento por shock cardiogénico, necrosis de tejidos y quemaduras por explosión.

Curiosidades:

-Al estar muy familiarizada con los insectos suele dormirse a veces en la intemperie, dentro de un hoyo. A día de hoy su extraña peculiaridad llama mucha la atención de su familia.

(probably not that much of a proof much more of a koincidence since au revoir is a pretty common frase but whatever)

This masterpiece here during NYFW in 2019:

note: I think its pretty safe to assume that up until this point its obvious kaylor is still together. Theres exactly no reason why Taylor and Karlie would be referencing kaylor stuff and each other at this point if they weren’t together.

folklore & evermore Era (oh the start of a daydream and a nightmare)

- Not a lot going on at the moment post  April 27, 2020

- Karlies very interesting posts:  

Dancing in a Cardigan July 10th, 2020

Happy Place July 23rd, 2020

- Tamagochi June 25, 2020 and buns May 14, 2020

- folklore announcement (july 23rd)

Note: up until this point its also pretty much a concensus that they’re still together. Since Karlie hinted the folklore aesthetic and cardigan on her ig post, and Taylor changed the cardigan lyrics to “knew you’d come back to me” and wrote “the lakes” and obviously there is “peace”. From this point on, especially after the WB stuff and pregnancy rumors in September (?) things start to get kinda blurry and gaylors and kaylors start building different point of views. So heres what happens:

- Taylor releases the long pond sessions where she says that joe is WB. I feel like we kinda all believe he isn’t, the thing that gives it for me is mostly Taylor’s body language and the way she stutters when she says it. Also, its kinda weird that out of nowhere joe got this songwriting skills magically. Like, they’ve been “together” for four years and only now Taylor discoveres this man has better songwriting and composing skills than his actual job, idk sounds fishy to me but, you make the call.

- Pregnancy rumors starts flowing on both sides. Taylor quickly starts drinking a shit ton of wine to get her beloved swiffers to come to the realization that she is in fact not pregnant. Karlie’s rumors also starts flowing, and then the people! (?) article comes out confirming it and Karlie later posts a video on her instagram. Here’s where it gets messy. Ill try to explain shortly to you the narrative on the Kaylor side and why i don’t believe in the gaylor narrative. Obviously its your choice wheter you believe it or not.

- Kaylor: The baby is Taylor’s and Karlie’s (not gonna get into hows and stuff bc if it is actually real then it is invading their privacy too much, also speculating about this might trigger some people). 

Things that back this theory up: obviously peace “give you a child”, karlie not tagging j*sh*a on her vids, that one 2,1/2 photo from the folklore photoshoot, buns and tamagochi, Taylor and Paul talking about parenthood in the Rolling Stone issue, and all the fertility imagery in evermore and folklore.

Karlie was in Cali in may until august, Taylor was also there. Jerk was on Ny or Miami cant exactly remeber. And it seems that this is what she wrote that one line “knew youd come back to me” in cardigan about. (IMO they [t and k] had some fight after the masters sale on the end of 2019 and took a break or something, so she would in fact come back to her, but just my opinion). So, karlie was there from may to august, karlie’s is on the end of her pregnancy, and if you do the math, she got pregnant sometime between june and july. Which makes it kinda impossible for the baby to be jerk’s (consequently ending the gaylor narrative) since he was in another place and karlie was on cali for like 4 months, if the baby was his, the baby would’ve been born already.

The gaylor narrative is mostly based on Taylor’s songs specially champagne problems, coney island, hoax, closure and exile.

Coney Island isn’t even necessarily a breakup song, it’s just simply a sad song, it is like death by a thousand cuts pt2, it gives the vibe that Taylor is sorry about a lot of things like not being able to thank Karlie “but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name”.

Like coney island, hoax is about the lows of their relationship but it’s clear in the song that taylor still loves karlie and would trade her for anything “don’t want no other shade of blue but you”

Closure and champagne: it just reminds me of Dianna for some reason i don’t even know how to explain it. Champagne Problems remind some of Dianna bc of i know places where she says “take my hand and don’t ever drop it”, to the gp that song is about harry(<3) and most songs that “are about him” are actually about Dianna. i do think it’s is kinda inspired by Karlie though.

Exile: honestly could be used to form a toe breakup narrative.

TBH we’ll probably never understand fully the story behind it. But Taylor also said that a lot of the albums are full of fantasy even thought they’re also inspired by real life situations.

Thank u for reading!! this is obviously my opinion on the matter and my take on the whole situation. feel free to believe whatever you want, and add stuff i forgot sending u lots of love <3
