#pan is VERY *EYES EMOJI* about this

[songbirdseung]

INTERRUPTING THEIR LIVE / EN-

synopsis: you basically walk in the room without knowing they are doing a live.

HEESEUNG 이희승 ~

man would be very smug about it.

teases the fans, not showing any emotion of shock or fear.

maybe flirts with the fans to distract them.

The room is softly lit, with a cozy atmosphere. Heeseung sits in front of his computer, headphones on, engaging with his fans during a livestream.

Cue the door opening. You enter the room with a playful smile. "Hey, Heeseung, what are you-" Heeseung quickly signals her to stay quiet, pointing to his headphones. YN tilts her head in confusion. Heeseung mouths "Livestream" and points to the camera. YN's eyes widen in shock as she realizes the situation.

"Livestream? Oh no, I didn't know!" You mouth and make your exit. Heeseung remains calm, reassuring you with a smile. "It's okay, just act natural. We'll have some fun with this."

As you stand frozen in uncertainty, Heeseung turns his attention back to the camera, addressing his fans. "Hey, everyone! Surprise guest in the room. Say hi to YN!"

The chat explodes with excitement as fans greet YN. She nervously waves at the camera. "Hi, everyone… surprise?"

Heeseung chuckles and decides to lighten the mood, teasing the fans. "You know, YN, they've been dying to meet you. Maybe I should let them ask you some questions."

"What? No, no, no!" He laughs at your panicked state. "Come on, it'll be fun. Ask away, guys!"

Fans flood the chat with questions, and Heeseung reads them out loud, turning a potentially awkward situation into an entertaining interaction. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" You turn to him. "Just go with the flow, babe. It's all in good fun."

JAY 박종성 ~

i feel like he'll be very smart about it

like he'll say that it was just a female staff

since the fans don't know he's in a relationship and he wants to your privacy kept.

Jay is engrossed in a livestream with his fans when you unexpectedly enters the room. Realizing the potential frenzy this could cause, Jay remains composed and signals YN to exit discreetly. Once she leaves, Jay smoothly addresses his viewers.

"Well, that was an unexpected interruption, wasn't it? Sorry about that, folks. Just had a female staff member come by for a quick discussion. You know, the usual behind-the-scenes stuff."

Fans in the chat are curious, but Jay skillfully deflects, maintaining a sense of mystery. "Who was that? Another secret collaboration?"

He seamlessly shifts the conversation, redirecting attention away from the personal intrusion. Fans continue to engage, unaware of Jay's relationship.

JAKE 심재윤 ~

cue his "kamchagiya!"

this man would be dramatically surprised by you

would'nt be scared and just pans the camera to you

now you were the one yelling "kamchagiya"

Jake is in the middle of a lively livestream when the door unexpectedly swings open. Startled, he jumps in his chair, the shock evident on his face. "Whoa, what the—?"

As the door fully opens, Jake's expression shifts from surprise to pure delight when he realizes it's you. He grins and playfully pans the camera towards her. "Well, well, look who decided to drop by! Say hi to everyone, YN!"

Caught off guard, you blush and try to playfully hide behind Jake, aware that the fans might not be aware of their relationship. "What's the matter, love? Shy all of a sudden?"

YN peeks out from behind Jake, giving a shy wave to the camera as the chat explodes with excitement. "Wait, is that YN? OMG, Jake's got a girlfriend!"

"Surprise, surprise! The secret's out, guys. YN and I are here to spread some love and positive vibes."

Fans flood the chat with heart emojis and messages of support. Jake wraps an arm around YN, who is still blushing and trying to hide her smile.

SUNGHOON 박성훈 ~

stoned face

pretends you're not even there.

even if the fans asked who it was, he'd say it was a ghost or they are just imagining things.

When the door quietly creaks open, without even flinching, Sunghoon maintains his stoic expression, pretending not to notice the unexpected intrusion. You enter the room with a playful smile.

"Hey, Sunghoon, what's got you so focused?" Sunghoon continues the livestream as if you're not there, calmly responding to fan comments and questions without acknowledging her presence.

"Who's that behind you, Sunghoon?"

"Behind me? There's no one there. Must be your imagination." YN, amused, tries to stifle a laugh as fans become increasingly curious about the mysterious figure in the background.

"No, seriously, there's someone there!" A fan writes. Sunghoon remains deadpan. "A ghost, perhaps. We're in an old building. Wouldn't be surprised."

YN decides to play along, covering her mouth to suppress her laughter as fans continue to speculate. "Guess I'm just a ghost, huh?"

Sunghoon nods "A very talkative one, apparently."

SUNOO 김선우 ~

cutely covers his mouth in shock.

tries to distract the fans and trick them.

but eventually introduces you to the fans.

You decide to surprise Sunoo, not knowing he was in the middle of his livestream. As you open the door, Sunoo is visibly shocked, his eyes widening in surprise. He quickly covers his mouth cutely, attempting to hide his shock from the viewers. "Oh my gosh! What are you doing here?"

You join in on the fun, playing along with Sunoo's antics. "Just wanted to see what you were up to, Sunoo. Mind if I join?"

As fans start commenting about the mysterious figure in the background, Sunoo decides to play a little trick. "Who's there with you, Sunoo?"

"What? Oh, I didn't see anyone. Must be your imagination." After a bit of teasing, Sunoo can't contain his excitement any longer. He dramatically uncovers his mouth and grins at the camera.

Alright, alright! The big reveal! Everyone, meet YN! Surprise!

The chat explodes with excitement and curiosity as Sunoo introduces you to his fans. You wave at the camera, and Sunoo can't help but giggle at the enthusiastic response from the viewers.

JUNGWON 양정원 ~

would be professional about it, like jay

say you were a staff or something

would apologize to you after the livestream

The door quietly opens, and you, posing as a staff member, enter the room. Jungwon glances at you briefly but maintains his composed demeanor, acknowledging your presence with a subtle nod.

Understanding the need to keep things professional. While fans in the chat begin to speculate about your identity, Jungwon smoothly redirects the conversation. "Who's that in the background?"

"Oh, that's just a member of our staff handling some behind-the-scenes tasks. Nothing to worry about." The fans seem satisfied with the explanation, and Jungwon seamlessly continues with the livestream, focusing on the topic at hand.

Once the livestream concludes, Jungwon turns his attention to you. The fans, unaware of the true nature of your presence, continue to discuss the livestream, and Jungwon wraps up with his usual charm. As the broadcast ends, Jungwon takes a moment to express his gratitude once again before you both leave the room, maintaining the air of professionalism that defines his public persona.

NI-KI 西村 力 ~

our little menace

will tease you like jake did, trying to pan the camera to you

would straight up tell the fans and tease them as well

You sneak into the room, knowing that Ni-ki would welcome the playful interruption. As the door creaks open, Ni-ki spots you and grins mischievously. "Well, well, look who decided to crash the party! YN everyone!"

He playfully tries to pan the camera towards you, eager to share the surprise with his fans. "Say hi to YN, the troublemaker who just barged in!"

You playfully wave at the camera, joining in on Ni-ki's antics. "Wait, who's that? Ni-ki, who's with you?"

"Oh, this? Just a little troublemaker causing chaos. You jealous yet? Fans in the chat express a mix of confusion and excitement. "Are you serious, Ni-ki? Who is that?"

"Oh, don't worry. You'll find out soon enough. But hey, if you leave hate comments, it just means you're jealous."

As the fans continue to speculate, Ni-ki finally decides to spill the beans. "Alright, alright! I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Meet YN, my girlfriend."

Fans flood the chat with emojis and excited comments, welcoming you into the fold. Ni-ki continues to tease and playfully interact with the fans.

🐻‍❄️CAPTAIN BARNACLES HEADCANONS🐻‍❄️

He doesn’t really know what his sexuality is, he’s attracted to all genders but doesn’t think he’s pan or bi, but he is somewhere on the ace spectrum

He’s somewere in his 30’s

He’s autistic, he stims by patting his sides with his hands and tapping his feet, he likes routine, he’s very particular about his own space, given his profession he does expect some chaos and sometimes writes about his frustrations in his captains log to settle himself down and cool off at the end of the day.

He also has PTSD from both being trapped in an ice cavern as a kid and some of the missions he and the octonauts go on. He did let the Octonauts know ahead of time and asked that they be patient with him when he has a flashback, each of them researched ways they can help him when he needs it. They all communicate with each other. The octonauts are very patient with Barnacles and he appreciates it deeply.

He’s good at taking care of and protecting kids, he’s patient and kind with them, but he has trouble actually speaking with them in a non dangerous situation. Whenever they chatter about silly stuff, he just smiles and listens.

When it comes to romance, it’s not something he thinks about a lot. When he finds someone he likes, he’ll know it. He’s had crushes in the past and has dated before but he’s not really sure how to go about it, he feels like he’s too far behind and too awkward to date.

He has very pretty handwriting, in his free time as a polar scout, he would practice cursive.

He doesn’t usually text, but when he does he sends slightly lengthy messages, he doesn’t like using acronyms like “lol” so he says stuff like “that gave me a good laugh!” Or “haha!” He likes using heart emojis because he thinks they’re cute and send a kind tone.

Despite the fact that Shellington is their main caregiver, the Vegimals also see Barnacles as a father figure. He makes them feel safe, and he’s tentative to them as well. They’re always curious about his hobbies and like joining him, like when he sings in the rain, they like watching his shadow puppet shows, they do enjoy his accordion playing (even if it’s bad sometimes)

Has very dark blue eyes, they’re very big and puppy-like, (think Ballister Boldheart from Nimona.)

His love language is words of affirmation and acts of service, he likes receiving hugs but he heavily prefers if someone asks first (claustrophobia) he also prefers initiating the hugs.

Heavy sleeper during the winter the quietness in the air puts him at ease.

Sometimes as a joke, the octonauts (especially Kwazii) call out, “O, Captain, My Captain!” When they see Barnacles, he thinks it’s funny.

Live laugh love barnacles

As I mentioned before, I liked the idea of lifetime sketches. Welcome to random Buggy and Catherine's morning". Fun, fluff, the pancake song! (@gingernut1314, hi!). This sketch was inspired by clown emoji on discord :)

"Fuck, I love you so much, cotton candy."

"I love you too, my Buggy Bear. Very much." Catherine stroked Buggy's wet back. "You okay? You're breathing so hard."

"One of the best mornings ever!!" He giggled, ducking his face into her hair.

"Go to hell, pervert!" Catherine slapped him gently. "I don't know how it happened. It's all your fault, fucking clown."

"No, no! Don't try to blame it all on me!" Buggy raised his head and looked into her eyes. "It was your initiative."

"No! It's all your fault. You were so cute when you were sleeping. And your hair is so long and beautiful. I just wanted to stroke them. And then bam! You're already pulling my pants down." Catherine noticed how he kept looking at her. "Stop looking at me, you're embarrassing me."

"You're so beautiful, Cathie-pie."

"You've been unusually gentle today. What's wr--" Catherine didn't have time to finish her sentence, because Buggy pressed his lips to hers.

Catherine quickly hugged him tighter, returning the kiss when she heard his stomach rumble.

"Oh, my God, Buggy! Are you serious?" She laughed through the kiss. "How do you do that? You just confessed your love to me, and now this. You're unbelievable."

"What?" He laughed back.

"What? Your stomach probably rumbled all over Egypt." Catherine didn't know how to stop laughing. "Are you hungry?"

"The God of Sex showed you so much this morning. Of course, he's hungry."

"Geeez! I knew that line would stick in your head. That's it, you missed your moment, get off me." Catherine gently pushed him off her and onto the bed.

"Ouch. No!!!" Buggy tried to grab her hand. "Cotton candy! Come back to me! Or under me!" He winked at her.

"Quiet, clown!" Catherine grabbed her pants. "Don't you dare say such dirty things when I'm in my pajamas with ponies." She leaned over to kiss Buggy on the nose. "You were hungry, weren't you. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Pancakes."

"Okay, my pancake glutton." Catherine smiled. "I'm going to the kitchen, and you come to me, I think the first batch will be ready in about 30 minutes. Love you!" Smack. Smack.

Catherine ran into the kitchen, leaving Buggy in the bedroom. He lay in bed for a long time, periodically looked at Catherine's side of the bed, the soft sheets still warm from where she had been lying. Buggy gently ran his hand over the empty space, feeling the lingering traces of Catherine's presence.

The distant clatter of plates and bowls only served to emphasize Catherine's absence, making the room feel strangely quiet and empty without her vibrant energy.

Buggy strained his ears, trying to catch the sound of Catherine's humming - that sweet, lilting melody that never failed to lift his spirits. He immediately sent his ear to the kitchen to hear the faint sound of her voice.

Your blue hair like waves, brushing softly your face, In the quiet of morning, there’s beauty and grace, I stir in some love, like the salt and the spice, For you are my treasure, my heart’s paradise.

A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, when he returned his ear back. Reluctantly, Buggy pushed himself up from the bed, the mattress creaking beneath him, and began slowly pulling on his pants. Buggy will never admit it, but he couldn't bear to be apart from Catherine for long. With one last wistful look around the room, he made his way towards the kitchen.

Leaning one shoulder against the wooden frame, Buggy paused there, his gaze fixed on the scene unfolding before him. Catherine stood at the stove, her movements quick and efficient as she expertly maneuvered the spatula, flipping the golden-brown pancakes that sizzled and popped in the hot pan. The delicious aroma of the batter, mixed with the faint scent of maple syrup, wafted through the air, making his stomach rumble with anticipation.

Catherine continued to hum quietly, dancing slightly.

In the kitchen bright, I'll whip up a treat, For my blue-haired clown, oh, life feels so sweet. Pancakes in a stack, fluffy and round, A sprinkle of magic, where laughter is found.

Buggy watched, mesmerized, as Catherine deftly transferred the finished pancakes to a waiting plate, the stack growing higher with each new addition. Without missing a beat, Catherine immediately poured a fresh ladle of batter onto the frying pan, the liquid sizzling and spreading into a perfect circle.

So here's to the morning, with giggles and cheer, As we share our breakfast, my heart feels so near. In this colorful world, where we both belong, Love you, dear clown, in our own merry song!

"Wow! The smell is so fucking amazing!" Buggy tried to hide his smile as he listened to her song.

"You're here!" Catherine smiled at him. "Yeah, the only thing I can cook well is pancakes. My mom taught me once, and my grandma taught her. Sit down, the first batch is ready, as is your fresh coffee."

Buggy trudged to the chair and plopped down.

"You're not wearing makeup this morning?" Catherine glanced at him over her shoulder. "I'm very proud of you. Really. But don't forget, I love you with and without makeup." She walked up to the table holding a large mug in her hands. "Here, your coffee." Smack. Smack. "Pancakes coming soon."

Buggy tried his best to hide his smile and not cuddle up to Catherine as she kissed him on the top of the head a few more times and ran to the table to get a plate.

"And here's your favorite breakfast." Catherine set the plate down on the table, giggling.

As Buggy gazed down at the plate before him, his eyes were immediately drawn to the whimsical, colorful creation that lay there. "What the fuck is this?" He turned the plate on the table.

Atop the fluffy golden pancakes, a vibrant clown face had been meticulously crafted, the batter shaped and molded into a playful expression. Dollops of bright red "nose" and rosy "cheeks" were accented by thick black lines for the eyes and red lines for the mouth, giving the pancakes a delightfully cartoonish appearance.

"See? He even has blue hair." Catherine pointed carefully at the blue icing.

"Why?" Buggy didn't know how to stop laughing. "What did I do to you that made you do this?"

"Come on! It's funny! You were a little sad this morning, and I don't like it when my clown is sad." Smack. "I wanted to cheer you up." Smack. Smack. "Try it, please."

With childlike wonder, Buggy reached down and took a bite.

"Tasty?" Catherine asked softly, stroking his hair.

"You know," Buggy cleared his throat, "I think they've been getting better every day since you made them for me after our first adventure."

"I knew you loved me!" Catherine squealed and threw her arms around his neck. Sma-a-a-ack. "Buggy…"

"I'm listening, Cathie-pie." He took another piece of pancake.

"I don't know how you do it, but stop ruining our romantic moment and grabbing my ass!"

I have an idea for "streamer au". How about the chat shipping the ghost with the reader? How do they always leave cute and funny comments whenever there is interaction between them? Or how the ghost is made silly in some situations by the reader? I would love to read this situation :) this is probably very badly written, and full of mistakes, sorry, my english sucks :/

your english is good! no mistakes or bad wording. <3

-

at first its subtle.

chat honestly thought ghost and you were very good friends. that was until he started to transition into quiting his day job to be a full time streamer. he asked several other streamers on how they keep a schedule, realistic goals, and how to keep the viewers entertained.

this meant branching out from just gaming.

ghost made his first appearance since he started the channel. you helped him black out the areas around his eyes and he donned the skull balaclava.

even though streaming would catch a lot of attention, ghost thought it would be better to keep a bit of privacy for himself. thus the mask.

you wore a plain black medical mask deciding it would be better to hide at least a part of your face for privacy.

the first thing chat picked up on was the difference in size.

they honestly thought ghost was bluffing when he told them he was 6'4.

he wasn't lying. the height difference shows when you hit him for leaning against you, arm on top of your head as the two of you chilled.

or when he wraps his arms around your shoulders and pulls you against him. out of the way of chaotic soap as he runs around the set like a child on crack.

it was interesting to see the way that the two of you interacted, especially because for so long you only had a voice/edits made.

chat constantly says they can see ghost blushing when you tease him on his size. you think its hilarious that ghost's jacked af yet doing an overglorified office job. he lowkey flexes everytime he sees you eying his muscles.

it gets even more hectic when soap joined. you and soap constantly clown on each other and chase each other around the house. chat either eggs it on or feels bad that ghost has two leash children he has to constanly look after.

two gremlins and a tired parent trio.

but when soap's talking to you, ghost will just silently stare. straight at you. practically without blinking.

he zones out a lot when he looks at you. thinking what you would look like or how you would react if he did the things soap does to get your attention.

someone pointed it out later with a small short. putting heart emojis and stars around ghost as the camera pans from him to you laughing at something soap said.

the channel has officially adopted your 'streamer' name despite being the editor. they call you hound. because you can be so playful and easygoing, yet in games and when editing you're absolutely ruthless in your worth ethics.

ghost calls you pup.

the first time he called you that chat flipped out. it was midday when you came in with food for ghost. because he hadn't eaten breakfast in order to stream.

you had briefly popped into the face cam as you said

'here's some food.'

'thanks pup.' ghost was too focused on defeating hollow knight that he let it slip. and chat went wild.

chat calls it out everytime ghost lets it slip. soap always ends up exploding with laughter as he mockingly calls you pup.

and ghost? he just crosses his arms around his chest and sulks. most likely pouting underneath the mask.

chat argues about the ship name.

ghosthound.

houndghost.

ghound.

houst.

ghost got a donation alert that asked him about his preference one day while he was streaming valorant. the audience could hear the way his chair creaked as he leaned back and thought for a moment.

"ghosthound."

he accepted no further answers or questions about it. but that day twitter made ghosthound trend. lots of pictures and posts claiming the ship is official as people absolutely fawn over this moody giant and his happy little editor.

feeding further into the shipping, ghost had mindlessly liked a really nice fanart of the two of you hugging.

and suddenly he's getting tagged in tiktok edits and fanart.

he secretly looks through all of them in his freetime. he would never admit it.

though you have seen him scroll through those tags a few times. you pretended not to notice.

overall chat loves ghosthound and wouldn't give up anything for it.

...

except maybe another otp.

[ughgoaway]

okay hiii i am so curious like what would it be like taking annie to an award show like the brits or smth

- 🦀

omg yes, this is so interesting!!! I can see her going to her first brits when she's like 8/9! it's when you and matty have finally got together, not new but definitely not old either, enough time that the fans know of something.

(p.s welcome crab anon!! love the emoji choice)

✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿

you go shopping with matty and annie to find a dress, with Denise on facetime for an extra opinion. and you find quite a cute black dress with little stars on it. matty then goes to buy a matching handkerchief, and luckily, Patty finds one for him :)

she'd be SO unsure about the carpet, asking 100 questions about the lights, the people and how to pose. but you do a test run at home, which entails matty and annie walking down the hallway whilst you and the boys flash your phone torches at her and shout questions.

"Annie! who are you wearing?"

"Annie, what do you think of your dad's music?"

"Annie! why is Ross your favourite uncle?"

yk... all those normal press questions.

she'd be giggling and hiding behind matty and in his side, but he'd grin and pick her up, ushering you on the carpet too and doing some cheesy poses (the boys take sneaky photos hehehe)

on the actual night, she's an angel. like beyond perfect, even matty is shocked with how polite and happy she is. she meets celebrities and offers to shake their hands, much to everyone's delight. when she sees charli tho, she does get a bit distracted.

"auntie charli!!!" she shouts, running across the room and jumping in her arms. charli of course catches her with a grin, and soon comes matty panting as he tries to catch up with her.

you're there too, but you don't do the carpet. fans know mattys in a relationship, he talks about it all the time, but they still don't know with who. so as far as they know, you're a "stylist assistant"

Annie sits on mattys lap, or any of the boys, tbh and watches quite happily. you and her get up to dance during Harry Styles' performance, and she claps very loudly afterwards.

when the boys win their award? she's going CRAZY!!! screaming and jumping up and down as she watched them on stage, you can see the lights glimmering in her eyes and you know she's so proud of her dad.

matty has to fight every urge to kiss you deeply and scoop you into a hug when he hears that they won, but he manages it and instead just gives you a side hug. but he whispers, "I love you," as he does, and you can't hide the lovesick grin you get after he says it.

matty, of course, gives Annie a shout-out. "And thank you to my little girl, Annie. you are the light of my life, peanut - I love you. " she giggles and gets all embarrassed when the cameras pan to her and burrows in Carly's side.

he does also mention you, but strategically, "and of course, thank you to my beautiful girlfriend. she couldn't make it tonight," he looks at you with a pointed look as he says that bit, and you shoot him a wink, "but I know she's at home cheering at the tv. I love you sweetheart, thank you for inspiring half this fucking album. and pretty much every album as long as I've known you! goodnight"

(you later grill matty with what songs are about you, he doesn't budge.)

After the big win, matty is planning just to go home with you two, but you organised Denise to come grab Annie so you could go to the afterparties.

not before you three have your own private one though, sneaking off to an abandoned corridor and cheersing with apple juice cartons. Annie makes a toast, and it does make matty almost cry because he's just like that.

she falls asleep in the taxi on the way to Denise's, and is settled in bed quite soon afterwards.

leaving you and matty to... celebrate in some very creative ways <3

I redesigned the polysexual flag.

I would love it if this got shared around!

Use it in art! Use it in merch! Use it on your pronouns.page! It's public domain! No credit needed!

Reasons for the redesign, flag meanings, additional flags, templates, silly stuff, and emojis below the cut.

As a polysexual person, I have mixed feelings about the original polysexual flag. The simplicity of the flag is good; it has three stripes and three colors. I also like the color choices in concept: pink for attraction to women, green for attraction to enbies, and blue for attraction to men. The contrast between the stripes is pretty good too, though the contrast between green and blue could use some improvement.

However, the hot pink clashes with the green, which can be displeasing to the eye, or even painful. This clashing isn't as bad on physical merch most of the time. I have some pins and bracelets where it looks just fine. But I think that it's important for the flag to be accessible online too, especially since many polysexual people can't show pride outside of online spaces.

There's also a problem with its similarity to the bisexual and pansexual flags. I know that this was done on purpose to show the identities being related, and I think that this is sorta fine. But...

It can be misleading, as I find that polysexuality is often fundamentally very different from the other "big four" multi-spec orientations, i.e. bi, pan, and omni. Polysexual people are not attracted to all genders, while bisexual people often are, and pansexual/omnisexual people always are. The lack of separation between the polysexual stripes implies that we're attracted to all genders as well, when we aren't.

It also makes it harder for us to stand out on our own. Polysexuality rarely gets its own spotlight independent from other identities. Most often, we just get a passing mention in a post about the broader multi-spec community, or get our flag shown in a post alongside several other flags, if we even get that at all. Our flag being so indistinct only furthers this invisibility.

Polysexuality, as a result, doesn't really get to be its own thing. We're just another tag, another flag, another passing mention of validity to tack onto a post that isn't really about us. This can feel really isolating, especially as many of us don't even strongly relate to the other identities that we're often grouped with.

I don't identify as bisexual, not even as an umbrella term, because I don't relate to common bisexual experiences. I am not attracted to binary men, and I'm not attracted to all genders. But "polysexual representation" is almost exclusively about common bisexual experiences, and it isn't ply-focused. The flag adds insult to injury.

So, I wanted to try to redesign the flag.

I like the colors that are already associated with polysexuality: pink, green, and blue. I want to keep these colors, and I'm also keeping their original meanings. The ply pride colors aren't changing if I have anything to say about it! As obscure as polysexuality is, this color combination is very recognizable and well established in our community, and if applied well, they look really nice together.

However, I've also added two thin white stripes to the flag. These stripes serve three purposes:

1. Visual appeal.

The white stripes prevent clashing between the pink and green, and also add some more contrast between the green and blue.

2. Separation between stripes.

The white stripes allow the colorful stripes to exist separately, since polysexual people are not attracted to all genders. For example, I am represented by pink and green, but not by blue, because I am not attracted to binary men. Another polysexual person might be represented only by green and blue, only by green, etc.

3. Distinction from other flags.

The white stripes create distinction from other m-spec flags. This flag distinction can represent the disconnect from m-spec spaces that some polysexuals experience, since m-spec spaces tend to revolve around attraction towards all genders, which is inapplicable to polysexual people unless varioriented or fluid. M-spec spaces also often revolve around attraction towards at least both binary genders, and many polysexual people, including myself, lack attraction towards at least one binary gender.

This flag distinction also calls attention to polysexuality as its own identity, which does not always need to be dependent on other terms, and can shine on its own. We are not just a tag, or just a flag, or just a label to put in posts that aren't about us. We are a community! We are individuals! We are people! We are experiences!

The flag is still somewhat similar to other m-spec flags in its color choices, so the solidarity with our m-spec siblings is still there! But now we get to have something that feels more like it's for us.

I hope that the difference in stripe size makes the flag more accessible to colorblind people as well, because I don't see many flags with a 2:1:2:1:2 stripe ratio, whereas there are a lot of flags with three evenly sized horizontal stripes.

This flag can be used by all ply people! Whether polysexual, polyromantic, polysensual, polyalterous, varioriented, fluid, questioning, etc... This is for all of us!

Additional flags, templates, silly stuff, and emojis:

on a date with their partner , but will be quietly strolling through the exhibits as well . probably spending most of their time in ocean hall . they're from a beach town , so feels like home . a bit skeptical of valentines and pda in general , but will withhold judgement to themself . ( date : auden west )

fred flintstone , 40 yrs — ( 1/2 ) meredith

he's pining for nigel and in denial . also , seeing his dinosaur pets as skeletons is scarring and upsetting , so he's really having a hell of a time . ( blind date : meredith grey )

irina denali , 28 yrs — ( 3/3 ) bella , vic , cindy moon

moody and broody but still a beauty . she'll use this as an opportunity to dress up and look absolutely stunning , and she'll be quietly observing everyone's relationship drama . being 'immortal' yet having died , mummies kind of freak her out so she'll prob be over there . ( blind date : belle french )

if anyone needs medical assistance , jack can help ya out . otherwise , he'll probably be sipping a gin beverage as he strolls through the exhibits . it's rare he spends time just hanging out in museums for fun . the polar bear will prob trigger some memories from back home ... you might catch him trying to hide a spiral .

michael guerin , 31 yrs — ( 3/3 ) qingge , childe , tatia

being at museums like this is kind of horrifying for michael , because as a secret alien , michael's biggest fear is that the government will find him out and he'll end up himself as an exhibit in this place . also he's single and lonely - what's new - so he'll be drinking his worries away and gawking at the "human origins " .

zahra bankston , 40 years — ( 2/2 ) alex , qui-gon jinn

she's the director of national intelligence , so i promise if you're doing anything stupid , zahra already knows and it isn't getting past her . she's enjoying this time to bump elbows with washington's elite though , so whether she actually says or does anything at this very moment is another story . also , you bet she's looking absolutely incredible . ( blind date : qui-gon jinn )

zoe rivas , 24 years — ( 1/2 ) annabeth

wrapped up in a beautiful gown , zoe will be ready to mingle or invite you to dance . they'll probably be in the darker rooms centering around electricity and the night sky because it's more calming and beautiful than the main floors swarmed with the entire city . ( blind date : abigail mckinnon )

[lipglossanon]

Hello! It’s the long puppy Leon Drabble anon (and like 15 other drabblws that you’ve gotten anon. Maybe I should claim an emoji to make it easier, like 🐶 or 💜). Anyway I’m back on my brainrot, specifically with cow Leon from one of my last messages:

Cow hybrid Leon has big inverted nipples. The areolas are already very sensitive, but since the tips are usually hidden away, any stimulation to them can make him cum. Just imagine: he comes to you, tits swollen with milk, having put off even milking himself out of embarrassment so now he is too full and sensitive to do it himself. His big teary eyes looking at you while his little cow ears twitch with shame and embarrassment. You ask him to take off his shirt so you can see how swollen he’s gotten frkm neglecting his needs, and his tits look huge and flushed, and a few beads of milk escaping from the little folds on his nipples where the tips are hiding. You’re trying to hide just how wet the sight makes you, and you place a hand on his tits. Even that has Leon moaning, and you can feel how warm he is with backed up milk. You know he is too full, too sensitive to go straight into the milking pumps, so you tell Leon that you’re going to try to lessen some of the pressure yourself before moving to pumps to make sure he doesn’t get hurt. You start with barely running your hands over the skin of his chest, pausing when Leon whines and whimpers only for him to beg you to keep going. You run you finger over the folds of his areolas and the sounds he lets out as he cums from that stimulation alone nearly makes /you/ cum. You make sure to tell Leon how good he is, that you aren’t disgusted by him at all (maybe even tell him how wet he has made you), and then tell him you’re gonna try to use your mouth to help him. You place a kiss on his nipple, and then stick your tongue into the little fold to get to the bud. Leon’s humping the air as you do this, and milk is starting to come out. You give a suck, to get both the perky bud and the milk to come out. It takes multiple greedy sucks, and about 3 orgasms from Leon to get the bud to stick out into the open air, and you start the process on the other side, making sure to still stimulate the bud and breast to keep the milk flowing. Everything is wet, from both types of Leon’s milk ;) and from your own arousal. You sit on his lap to get a better reach for the other nipple, and you both are humping each desperately as you try to get the second bud to emerge. When you do, you keep milking the cum drunk cow hybrid, until his chest and balls are empty, and swear to yourself that the next time this happens, you’ll be cockwarming him so none of his cum is wasted.

Whichever emoji you like anon! I’ll keep them both off to the side and let you have first dibs 😉

Also, I love the big brain energy you bring to the blog 😌 😌

This whole thing has me wanting to go out and bang some pots and pans 🤭 🤭

And cockwarming him the next time so none of his cum is wasted?? 💀💀

I seriously think you should write fics 😭 but thank you for sharing this with me (and all of us really) 🥹 💜

[footballffbarbiex]

for WBD ❤️

Virgil coming home to his girlfriend having one of those days, she doesn’t feel like getting out of bed or doing anything at all but she gets up to make lunch thinking she would disappoint him if he came home to nothing. When he comes home he finds her very overwhelmed because anything she tries to do is just not working out, she’s embarrassed for having a breakdown over pouring more sauce in the pan than she should have. Virgil comforting her and trying to calm her down and telling her how she doesn’t have to do anything when she’s not feeling like it, and she shouldn’t be embarrassed about her emotions 🥺

words: 506

-

Virgil can hear the soft sound of quiet crying as he enters the home - almost as though she’s trying to muffle it through her hand or a shirt. His girlfriend was still asleep when he’d left for training, but the text responses weren’t as he thought they’d be. Yesterday they’d laughed, cuddled on the sofa and fell asleep with her being the big spoon. He thought he’d come home to a happy girlfriend, but the one he finds now is not.

She’s surrounded by food prep, the sides are a little messy, but it’s what’s on the floor that’s causing the real upset. A large mixing bowl has smashed, the contents scattered from its landing point and on the hob, sauce bubbles angrily on the heat, spitting hot bubbles of it onto the back splash and over the rest of the hob space. She stands, her shirt bunched up in her hands and brought to her face, holding it against her eyes as she tries to control her crying and her breathing.

“Baby?” Virgil asks in a quiet voice, prompting her to lower her hands. Her bottom lip trembles as she tries not to allow any more tears spill down her cheeks.

“I’m sorry,” she says, unable to hide the way her voice cracks. “I tried to make lunch, but I poured too much in there and when I tried to get something, I knocked the bowl off and..” she breaks off as her breathing comes out as sobs, her chest heaves and she struggles to control herself.

“Do you want me to hug you?” He asks, wanting nothing more than to do that.

She can’t speak, but her nod comes quickly and doesn’t stop until he’s holding her. “I appreciate you making lunch,” he says with such sincerity that another loud sob comes from her. He wants to chuckle and press kisses to her head but he worries she’d take it the wrong way. “Are you a little overwhelmed right now?” He asks and she nods again, her tears now leaving a damp patch on his shirt. “I want you to know that I never expect anything like lunch being made when I get home. And if you ever don’t feel up to it, I want you to do whatever you can do - even if that means just staying in bed and sleeping. Ok?”

“Yes,” She replies softly.

“I don’t want you doing anything that you don’t feel up to.”

“But you won’t be able to eat.”

“I will make something, for you as well as me. You can maybe send me an emoji that can mean a bad day so you don’t have to explain and I’ll just take over when I get home.”

“I don’t deserve you.”

“You do, your head just isn’t being nice to you right now.” This time, he does press a kiss to her forehead. “Now, go get in bed and I’ll finish this off and bring it up soon, ok?”

“Ok. I love you.”

“I love you more.”

A Day in the Life – Seamus Casey

Okay. I have left this at least 24 hours to watch as I had a work thing, then went to the theatre w my sisters to see an old mate from my previouslifeTM in a musical, and then I worked again today, and had a big fight w my dad (at my big age & his big age but he has huntingtons and it’s complicated aka he was always a dick even before the paranoia set in) And I was in an awful mood - very very sad.

BUT, I made spinach and ricotta cannelloni from almost scratch (aka bought the pasta sheets and the passata but I made the sauce, filling etc AND I am starting my 3rd glass of wine and now I am going to watch Seamus and lean into literally existing as the tears-in-eyes-proud-overwhelmed-emoji lifestyle.

Spoilers below the cut. This is literally of no interest to anyone but me - I just really wanted to remember how it made me feel and what mattered as I never took the time to in old fandoms and I want to have it.

Int – Basement? Bike/treadmill room Semus is fiddling with the seat on a stationary bike.

0:00 Utica seem to have a bunch of bikes in a basement. Seamus is fighting with one.

0:03 Omg his voice. I am not v gd at American accents – and hockey is v confusing as they all have their valley girl/Canada hybrid thing going on, but Seamus! His little voice and his sometimes elongated vowels (I say that as an aussie so I realise they are not THAT elongated, but they have an extension.) I love his voice.

0:09The way he says broken!!! Also - He’s so cranky about his dumb broken bike and wants it noted THAT is why he is small not at all that the two boys beside him are like 188cm tall at a min and he’s 175.

0:12 The boy beside him who the doco helpfully tells us is called Malone pats him on the head and calls him little man. I do cartwheels. (Idek what took him (Malone) so long. I would have been patting him on the head and calling him little man and skritching under his chin and saying pspsps as soon as he walked in the basement bikeroom.

Establishing Shot – Ext – Seamus’ House. It's little and weatherboard and beige, seems to be surrounded by quite wintery looking deciduous trees and possibly very easily identified from said establishing shot

Int – Seamus’ Kitchen. Seamus is cooking

0:17 Well, Seamus Canned Yams Casey is cooking breakfast. His shoulders look bigger? He has a backwards hat on, he’s talking in his brilliant accent about oatmeal. It’s so many of my favourte things all at once. I pause youtube and take several swallows of my wine.

0:28 Seamus pudding-or something Casey tells us that he’s basic & just makes steak / chicken etc which is refreshing as most Hokeys will talk about cooking steak as if they are in a Masterchef final.

0:20 His kitchen has that microwave right obove the stove situation that you only see in America, I just feel like it does not allow good vision of your cook top surely. He also has a huge box of Goldfish on top of his fridge but again in Silv notices banal cultural differences I remember that the US sells stuff in large sizes and maybe that’s a normal box idk.)

0:33 Never have the words ‘fish when I can’ been said without a change of tone but with still so much longing for long warm dusks in Florida and last trips with brothers before RealLifeTM begins

0:56 The producer asks Seamus Once a Year Green Bean Casserole Casey what time he skates & Seamus gives a run down of the morning while he pushes bacon around his pan, but he says ‘change into your gitch’ which I presume is HockeyTM for gear, but also now I have homework to investigate this

1:02 We get a new camera position; there's some fake eucalyptus foliage to the L of the shot. I presume this is like a furnished home, so I won’t have emotions about decorating choices.( Seamus would have got his housing letter about two weeks ago if not earlier (I already did that homework))

1:06 Seamus No one wants to touch green beans Casey is now sitting at the table reviewing food /restaurant culture in Utica, which he calls ‘not a random town, but just a town in America,’ which clearly means that yes, Seamus feels like he’s playing hockey in a random town. Which is how I feel about everywhere these kids play tbh.

1:14 He’s revised his side dishes = cheesy fries policy to now include whatever Utica Greens is, I presume not a strain of weed?

1:14 Cont : It's escarole with pancetta, aka endive, and there are some peppers and cheesy breadcrumbs, which explains where everyone got the Brussels sprouts with pancetta from all at once, maybe.

1:19 he’s all clean shaven and his chin dimple looks perfect. Also there is hair at the neck of his tshirt. I hope this means the Prague wax has grown out. And a little fluffy curl is poking out the front of his (backwards) cap and I love him so much.

1:32 I enjoy his bemusemnt about a town coming up with a dish such as Utica Greens. This is like the sort of little thing that he would just keep thinking about and start conversations about and all the other boys would be idk what you are talking about you are weired. But maybe Moyle would indulge his talk of reginonal specialiies. Gavin would clearly just because he is used to Seamsu noticing, it’s one of Seamus’ main skills.

1:33 He’s putting on a big leather? Or that waterproof material? looking coat, no jumper, what are temperatures like in Utica? Probably jackets are properly insulated, not like the ones we have. Also his car is like right there by his door.

1:41 They fully just raw dogged Seamus’ numberplate. His house has a swing haning from the tree! Including THAT in any fic I write. Did Seamus drive his car from Florida or have it shipped – they do ship them (See aforementioned homework that I did.)

Int Seamus’ Car. Seamus is driving

1:49 Yesterday he went to the zoo with teammates!

1:52 They rented scooters that were animal themed. I need to see a picture of Seamus riding an Alpaca themed scooter. (Also now I am worried about what conservation plans a zoo in (random town USA) Utica has. I will go an look it up.) God they have lions and Red Pandas and a little wallaby it on;y costs $9 to enter?? And they have an *m*z*n wish list. Okay I need to go back to Seamus.

2:02 Seamus says that they do play video games but they siad they couldn’t go jump on the video games (which! ‘Jump on the video games!? Who says that? As Megan says – old Floridian men on the verandahs.) as it was too nice outside. It’s the flattest greyest sky there has ever been – I presume he’s talking about the alpca scooter zoo day, not right now.

Establishing shot of Seamus walking into the rink. He drinks something but we don’t see what.

Establishing shot of Seamus walking down a hallway. He’s changed, he’s in a slinky little grey tshirt and a Comets cap (backwards)

2:19 He enters the gym and is immediately chirped for it being the first time he’s been in there. But I’m freezing it at 2:22 and I do s2g his arms look bigger.

2:26 Brilliantly another teammate comes by carrying a medicine ball and points out to Seamus where the dumbbell rack is. Seamus says ‘Don’t – don’t listen to these guys’ but the way he rolls the ‘o’ in don’t is amazing. Goddd I love the shapes his mouth makes to make vowels sound like that!

2:36 Ahh, the bikes was a flash forward. We get to see Seamus say ‘look how much shorter I am than you’ again, but not the answering ‘little man’ 💔Then Seamus does one of those standing jumps onto the top of a box.

To the Ice!

2:56 He has two sticks, and I am looking closely at this tape job. Who is taping your sticks now, Shea? Somehow, his chin strap only makes the dimple more prominent, like a little framing device.

3:04 A fellow skates by Seamus and says he’s going to be in his kitchen – is this Hockey for in your office? Seamus says no one is talking to him. Players really hate bing miced up hey?

3:43 Seamus is with a few guys watching drills, they are talking about hair. Seamus turns and interrupts 'When you say work on it, you're talking like in front of the mirror like the real deal James Neil’ which I have googled and now know about hockey lore re keeping your hair greasy stops you from going bald BUT ALSO that could have 100% just been some old Floridian man on his verandah rhyming slang as far as I am concerned.

From 4:18 to 4:53 there is some sort of training exercise shown and idk but it seems a mess.

4:56 Back in the car! We are heading to Kinney, whatever that is “Gotta pick some stuff up for the seasons” I need to know if he means weather or hockey – like what sort of language use is this? Amazing.

5:14 The doco SUPER tells us that Kinneys is a drug store, which I guess is a pharmacy, BUT the first thing Seamus says he’s buying is milk (which is right by the front door!?) Anyway this is all just Silv cultural differences moments – I think I pay attention to these as all this mundane shite is so important to make sure sense of place is correct and I hate that I don’t instinctively have it for fic I am trying slowly to write now, when I did with the UK.) Anyway. Seamus is getting milk, for the seasons…?

ALSO as we follow him pushing his trolly, back in his brown jacket and cap from this morning – going to go home to his little brown weatherboard house. He’s looking for snacks. And something seems a bit vulnerable (projection I know, but;) I bet he never went shopping for snacks on his own during usntdp or at Michigan.

5:30 His snack is a blueberry kind bar. Which is a v hockey snack I guess. And I note it for fic purposes. And that it seems a little fitting with my sudden brown lonely house vibe, singular kind bar..

5:39 Ah! The Seasons. Seamus selects a fluffy white blanket for the couch. c u t e ALSO the payoff of Seamus describing this as picking up some stuff for the seasons – goooddddddd. I love everything his mouth and brain does.

5:54 He bought candles also. And marshmallows. So not just 1 Blueberry Kind Bar. Also the marshmallows match his blanket and the candles match his beige house.

6:17 I think they fully show the GPS Map to get to Seamus’ house.

6:00 Okay I blame this on the aforementioned wine but this whole thing is literally called A Day in The Life Presented by Kinney Drugs, and there is a KinneyDrugs logo in the top R.

lmao I am an idiot.

6:23 Seamus says the same thing Sheldon did about him coming down, positive conversation & he was expecting it. He goes on to talk about how he’s enjoying playing with his linemate

7:36 The SUPER tells us it’s 1:30pm and we are at an Elementary school - We are following Seamus down a hallway with little kids standing on one side, he’s got Casey 22 on his back and one of the kids says ‘why are they doing a camera?’ Seamus also does a v good ‘ahh it hurts’ reaction to a kid giving him five. I am endeared.

8:02 They are in the primary school library and the teacher who introduces them is sweet (godbless all teachers especially US ones where they have to have second jobs??) She says they are going to talk about how to be kind! Seamus is pretty good at talking – we only see him introduce himself – but it’s pretty natural and chill. I wonder how they prep them for school visits.

8:26 They take a picture & teacher asks for a silly face, Seamus instantly is a good boy and makes a big wide mouth face, his fellow comet stays looking neutral and cool. Seamus asks him if he made a silly face and he lies!

9:02 Seamus is making awkward Halloween costume chat while they sign, they are saved by the kids starting a lets go comets chant. His Comets buddy stands up and does some gentle fist pumps. Seamus stays seated and concentrates on doing his signature. He is the best behaved most diligent, he will definitely be getting a sticker from the teacher.

9:29 We are back at Seamus’ house. It has a black door. He’s going to see us next time.

Well I am very happy. Lots of lovely little mannerism and character notes and good work comets getting Seamus first up with this - he's literally the best thing they have, that team is doing terribly. If you need me I will be conjuring up concepts around trying not to rebreak a finger while having sex at 3 in the morning on your back garden round swing.

Send a ship and a prompt request!

Jared woke up and flung his arm out sideways. The bed was empty. He frowned. It was Sunday, Evan’s day off. And more importantly, it was the day before a very big important event.

Jared sat up and swung his legs out of bed. It was surprisingly cold for how late in spring it was. He grabbed Evan’s hoodie from the floor and pulled it on.

He started toward the kitchen but his eyes caught on something. A pink sticky note was stuck to the bedroom door. Jared peeled it off and read it.

I have a few last errands to run before tomorrow. I’ll be home soon <3

Jared smiled. He stuck the note in his pocket and made his way to the bathroom before breakfast. There was another note on the mirror.

Wow you’re cute :o someone is very lucky to be with you

Jared snorted. He put that note in his pocket with the other. There were three notes in the kitchen.

One on the fridge:

Sorry to disappear on such an important morning. I know you’ll be annoyed you didn’t get to make a “last time we wake up together as boyfriends” joke

Jared snickered. He had been making that joke about everything lately. The next note was on the coffee maker:

Don’t drink too much or you’ll get all jittery. We don’t both need to be nervous wrecks today.

The last one was stuck to Jared’s favorite coffee mug:

I’m so glad I get to spend every morning watching you drink out of this dumb mug for the rest of my life. I love you.

Jared put all three notes in his pocket. He leaned against the counter to wait for his coffee to brew when he spotted a box on the table. Inside was his favorite type of donut, a note scrawled on the lid.

Happy wedding eve! Love you more than anything <3

Jared enjoyed his breakfast. He texted Evan a picture of the box and a bunch of heart emojis. Evan’s response was quick.

:) how many?

Jared tapped out a reply.

Five not counting the box.

Halfway! :) <3

Jared laughed. He set his mug in the sink and wandered to the living room, looking for spots of pink.

The first one was obvious, stuck in the center of the TV.

I know I say it a lot but I really don’t know what I’d do without you. You make everything easier and better and funnier.

He had to hunt a bit for the next one. He found it stuck to their favorite DVD.

I never thought I’d feel so content and secure in a relationship. But I am. I know you don’t like talking about feelings and I don’t even mind. Cause I know how you feel even when you won’t say it.

Jared was stumped after that. He wandered around the apartment, sticky notes stuck to his fingers, hunting for more. He double checked the bathroom and the living room.

He finally found number eight back in the bedroom, sitting right on Jared’s desk.

The last four years have genuinely been the happiest of my life. And while some of that is due to therapy (shout out Dr. Myers) mostly it’s been because of you.

Number nine was inside Jared’s laptop.

No one has ever understood or cared for me more than you. And I hope you feel the same about me. (Please do oh my god how embarrassing would this be if you didn’t?)

Jared laughed. He added the note to the collection in his pocket. He searched the room again before moving his search into the hallway closet. Nothing there. He checked the bathroom and kitchen again.

No note. Jared frowned. He checked tall surfaces. He checked every kitchen cabinet. He even lifted up the couch cushions. Nothing.

He pulled his phone out.

You’re a liar. There’s only nine.

Nope. Ten.

Including the donut box?

No. Ten sticky notes.

Where the fuck is the last one???

:)

Jared went crazy, pulling out pots and pans, unscrewing bottles in the medicine cabinet, digging through the laundry hamper. He could not find the last note. He briefly wondered if Evan was lying and this was some sort of psychological warfare.

Finally, digging through Evan’s sock drawer he saw it, a flash of pink. He grabbed at it. It was stuck to the top of a small velvet box. Jared didn’t need to open it to know what it was. He frowned slightly and read the note.

I never told you but I’d been to a jewelry shop five times before you proposed. You only beat me because I take too long to make decisions. I love how you did it but I’d picked this ring out already and I thought you should have it anyway.

Jared felt his eyes sting and rapidly blinked the tears away because he wasn’t lame. He opened the box.

The ring was pretty similar to what Jared had ended up getting. A bit thinner and without Jared’s super romantic and expensive engraving like Evan’s ring had. But still nice.

“You like it?”

“Holy fucking shit!” Jared spun around, clutching his chest. “How did you get in so quietly? And how did you time this so perfectly?”

“I didn’t actually. I really thought it would take you longer to find it and I’d already be home by then,” Evan laughed. “Also didn’t think you’d tear the apartment apart.”

“You gave me a puzzle,” Jared said by way of explanation.

“Yeah. I should’ve known better.”

“I do like it.” Jared slid the ring into his finger. “You have good taste.”

“Yeah. Sometimes,” Evan said, crossing the room and kissing him.

“Aw,” Jared grinned. “Last time you’ll be able to insult me as my boyfriend.”

💔🎈🍓💋🚨🍄for Jasper and Ophelia :)

Thank you so much!! <3333

Red Emoji OC Asks

💔 (broken heart) - Who has your character hurt most? Physically or emotionally? How did it feel? Do they regret it?

Jasper: Their father, though not intentionally. When they came out to him, his initial reaction was less-than-pleasant, and they ended up cutting contact when they left for college. Unbeknownst to Jasper, cutting contact really did open their father's eyes to what he'd done, and the regret and emotional hurt from being cut off from their only child did inspire him to start reevaluating his worldview. So... it was a good emotional hurt in the end, but it still hurt.

Ophelia: Honestly... herself. She's hard on herself both physically and emotionally, she's got a self-sacrificing streak a mile wide and a guilty conscience that's even wider, there's nobody that matches up to what she does to herself.

🎈 (balloon) - What does your character do at parties? Are they a wallflower or a party animal? Do they go with friends or alone?

Jasper: Wallflower, if they can be convinced to go to a party at all. Large groups of people get overwhelming for their empathic sense, and alcohol makes it even worse. There's actually a scene about this in chapter 10 of Heartstrings!

Ophelia: Also doesn't really enjoy parties, but is better at hiding it. She'll slip into that suave Argonaut persona, socialize and chat and tell jokes, but after her socially-acceptable hour at the party, she's probably headed home.

🍓 (strawberry) - Does your oc believe in anything? Are they superstitious? Religious? Atheistic? Has anything in their past made them this way?

Jasper: Believes in a few Cajun superstitions, but doesn't have a particularly strong pull towards religion. It's not that they had one defined moment that made them that way, they just never really felt drawn to a higher power.

Ophelia: She's Jewish, and she generally agrees with that belief system. She's not completely by-the-books devout (her life is way too bound-up in technology to observe the Shabbat, and she doesn't believe tattoos count as "self-mutilation" [especially since her Starry Night tattoo, at times, reminded her to stay alive in her darker moments, so it's helped her life more than any harm]), but she does hold it as an essential part of herself, her family, and her history.

💋 (kiss) - Is your oc a good kisser? Have they kissed anyone before? Do they even enjoy kissing? What was their first kiss like in comparison to their most recent?

Jasper: Not at first, since they didn't have much practice before meeting Kyle. They do enjoy kissing (especially since Kyle is quite good at it 😊😊), though they're not the type to kiss just anyone. Their first kiss was technically in fourth grade, with a boy at recess (they were playing House and got dared to actually kiss), though their first romantic kiss was with their Homecoming date freshman year of high school. It was quick and awkward and didn't really pan out, which was about what they expected. Their most recent kiss, at least according to Heartstrings, was a sweet goodbye kiss after Kyle walked them back to their dorm :)

Ophelia: Oh, she's a very good kisser. She's had a lot of past relationships, so she's had plenty of practice. She does enjoy kissing overall, though there are a few things that'll make her cringe away (coffee breath, beer breath, sloppy/slobbery kisses, excessive stubble). Her first kiss was with a girl at summer camp, during a game of Truth or Dare in her cabin. It wasn't a great kiss, but it was part of how she realized she was bi, so that's something. Her most recent kiss according to Catch and Release was a reunion kiss with Peter after the battle with Charybdis.

🚨 (siren) - What’s your character’s relationship with the law? Have they ever been arrested? What for? What are their opinions on law enforcement?

Jasper: Pretty neutral. They've got some serious issues with the system as it stands, but they don't really have the power to act on it in a significant way, so they just live with it and try to interact with the police as little as possible. They were arrested once in high school for protesting, their parents bailed them out but weren't happy about it.

Ophelia: Oh, she really doesn't give a damn. She has a strong moral code of her own, but that doesn't always align with the law, and she doesn't particularly care if it does. There are a lot of warrants out for her arrest, but nobody ever seems to act on them. And she's generally disdainful of the police, for a lot of reasons.

🍄 (mushroom) - Does your character like being in nature or do they prefer the indoors? Do they have any outdoor hobbies like camping or fishing? If they prefer the indoors, why?

Jasper: Is comfortable with both. They were raised out in the boondocks side of New Orleans, surrounded by swampland, so they're more than used to the natural world. But on the other side of things, much of their adult life has been spent in the city proper, and they're just as comfortable there.

Ophelia: Prefers the indoors by a landslide. Technology is a comfort to her, for one thing, and she likes being in situations within her control. Nature feels much more uncontrollable to her, not to mention the lack of electricity or technology, so she'll stick to her lab and the city she knows so well.

Tav Party

I want to try something and see how it pans out, just for fun!

I'd love to see whose Tavs would be in a party with mine. Just send me an ask with the name or names of my Tavs that you could see your Tav(s) in a party with! And be sure to tell me about your Tav(s) or link me to a profile/info about them.

If you feel up to the task, you can add a little emoji to represent how your Tav might approach them. I'll answer with whatever I think my Tav would do in response.

Your Tav would want to be friends: 💛 Would become family: 💚 Would want to be lovers: ❤️ Would be enemies: 🖤 Would murder them: ☠️

Don't worry about any Origin characters for this thought exercise.

The Tavs:

Tessa

Human Rogue Monk

She's the daughter of a thief and mercenary who is a beloved "member of the family" in Zhentarim circles.

Despite being a professional thief, Tessa is a kind-hearted person. She always overflowing with joyful enthusiasm. Tessa is outgoing and funny. She has a big heart and it’s easy to take advantage of it, especially with a good enough sob story. She has a good-natured sense of humor, but she's not averse to dark humor either. When she’s angry or hurt, or just talking to someone she hates, she can be particularly cold and scathing.

Tessa is far from morally perfect, of course. She’s made peace with stealing, focusing on targets that “deserve” it. That said, she doesn't believe in hoarding wealth. She keeps what she needs (with some left over as a little treat) and spreads the rest of it around to those who might need it.

Bex

Tiefling Bard

Bex is intelligent, but flippant. Not very many things upset her, but when they do anger her, she goes from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye. She can typically diffuse tense situations simply by a lack of reaction or by telling a joke. She generally keeps a cool head, so much so it seems like she doesn’t care. In reality, she’s tired. She’s seen some shit and she is over it. She is in a constant state of existential dread and it's led to her having a very "is that all there is to a fire?" attitude about life.

Her philosophy is life is hard, why make it harder? She’s way too tired for that shit. She's friendly yet apathetic to most people when she meets them at first. She doesn't hate a lot of people either. Someone would really have to press her buttons or give her a reason to hate them. (I.E. I'm talking like Cazador vile.) She’s the type of person who prefers to stick up for the underdog.

She struggles to trust people on a deeper level, yet she continues to seek out connection with others. Under all her bluster, she has a good heart. She's just used to taking care of herself with little to no help from anybody else. Some people see her as trashy and she'd tell them they're correct.

She’s blunt, but she’s never intentionally hurtful. Sometimes she just sucks at wording herself. She’s never been one to brush off someone else’s hurt feelings with “I’m just being honest” either.

Minty

Shield Dwarf Selûne Cleric

Minty is excitable and bubbly. She’s kind-hearted, friendly, and cheerful. She can be one-track minded, especially whenever she has a new obsession. This can make Minty seem rude when she’s just bulldozing right past someone’s point. 

She’s a little too confident in her knowledge as a cleric, believing she can handle whatever is thrown at her. She's not "stupid" after all. But going out on this adventure teaches her a bit of humility.

Sometimes she can get so single-minded that she doesn’t think twice about her actions. She’ll accidentally hurt people when she becomes obsessed with getting her way. When called out on it, she'll try to make amends as best she can.

She’s a family oriented person. While her father has passed away, she’s very close to her mother and older sister. She’ll do anything to help or take care of them.

She’s quick to adopt friends into her family. So when she puts her family above all, that includes her friends. Even if she doesn’t always see eye to eye with her loved ones, she draws her strength from her family.

Laura

High Elf Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer

Laura is sarcastic, but not cynical. She has a deadpan sense of humor without being unnecessarily mean. (She's only mean to people she believes deserve it.) Laura is blunt about her opinions, but she has some sense of tact. She can be a total dork when she gets excited, especially when it comes to magic. She's as giddy as a school girl whenever she finds a new spell or magical item.

Laura is a natural born leader. She’s talented and brilliant, but she doesn’t trust people easily. She struggles with her self-worth and PTSD, preferring to fight her inner demons in private. Laura doesn’t reach out for help nearly as often as she should. She keeps trying to set aside her trauma and hope it'll sort itself out. She’s a humanitarian at heart and she’s not a judgmental person. At least, not unless what you’re doing is hurting someone else.

She does show signs of someone who has been traumatized. She can be irritable, even when she doesn’t understand why something is upsetting her so much. She’s easily startled and she can have a full on panic attack if something reminds her of her past. When not adventuring, she has to work to keep her mind busy to avoid thinking too much. It's near impossible to get her to talk about what happened to her before she left home. Whatever it is that haunts her, she's trying to keep it firmly in the past.

Paloma

Seldarine Drow Monk

Paloma is the quintessential older sister. She’s protective, responsible, determined, and bossy. She’s also short-tempered, high-strung, and sarcastic.

She grew up in an orphanage as one of the older kids. She stepped up to take care of the younger children and she took responsibility for them at a young age. Even after they reached adulthood, she continued to clean up after them and care for them like she always did. She has a habit of stepping in and doing things for other people.

Paloma believes she has to "earn" the right to be in people's lives, which means taking care of them. She has a very dry sense of humor that can sometimes go over people's heads.

She avoids getting help from others, and she reassures everyone she can take care of everything herself. It's a lot easier for her to ignore her own problems if she spends all of her time solving everyone else's. She actually gains a lot of pride and satisfaction from taking care of other people. She just needs to learn to take care of herself... and let other people take care of her every once in a while.

Lamia

Rogue Bard Changeling

I have to use a half-drow to make her in BG3 due to the lack of Changeling options.

I don't have her profile up yet, but soon! Lamia is Paloma's adopted younger sister. They grew up in the same orphanage together and neither were adopted due to the prejudice against their species. They aged out of the system instead. She typically hangs out with her Dragonborn Barbarian buddy, Allie.

Lamia's a con artist and thief. She considers herself as more intelligent than most people. She’s smug and her ego is often her downfall. She likes to be perceived as tough as nails and cocky, but she’s a lot more sensitive than she lets on. It doesn’t take much to hurt her feelings, especially if you imply she's stupid. She can be callous toward strangers and acquaintances. She assumes people are cruel until proven otherwise, so why go out of your way to help anyone?

Due to her ability to shape shift into any humanoid, Lamia is able to blend into any crowd. She has the skills and brains to take care of herself. It’s just that her bloated sense of self-importance always lands her in hot water. She's actually a pretty smart cookie though. It's what makes her attitude so frustrating sometimes.

All of her bravado hides a lack of self-confidence and a fear of being abandoned. The only people she trusts with her whole heart are Paloma and Allie. She's so afraid of everyone leaving her that she pushes others away before they can hurt her first. She never had a safety net in life and now it's everyone else's problem.

Ingrid

Deep Gnome Circle of Spores Druid

Ingrid is soft-spoken and timid. She can be shy, but once she feels comfortable, she loves to talk! People are surprised at how at ease she feels with the dead and the spores, but it makes perfect sense when you get to know her. She respects all aspects of nature, including death and decay. Oddly, it’s become a way for her to confront her own fear of death.

She’s a pushover and she lacks assertiveness. Or, at least, that’s who she was before she started traveling with a ragtag team of certified weirdos. She had to get it together and get over her bullshit. Her bravery comes from how terrified she is. If other people weren't counting on her, she’d probably curl up in a corner and cry. When other people are relying on her, she quickly musters up every ounce of courage she has and powers through her terror.

She always comes through in a clutch. Even when scared out her mind, she’ll never abandon anyone. She’ll just go have a panic attack after it’s safe. She has an incredibly kind heart and strong sense of empathy.

BlackBerry (2023) Review

I have never owned a BlackBerry myself. Instead I had the enjoyment of having a Vodafone phone - a cheap rip-off that looked, felt and played like a BlackBerry only for less money. Turns out, I saved a heck of a lot as that phone lasted me all through my sixth-form and university days. Less can be said about the reliability of the BlackBerry evidently.

Plot:  A company that toppled global giants before succumbing to the ruthlessly competitive forces of Silicon Valley. This is not a conventional tale of modern business failure by fraud and greed. The rise and fall of BlackBerry reveals the dangerous speed at which innovators race along the information superhighway.

We’ve had plenty of techy origin film come and go, and many good ones at that such as The Social Network and Steve Jobs, and even the recent Tetris lent itself more to be a solid commentary on the communist regime of the Soviet Union and a study into the legal drama behind the game rather than some cheesy parody featuring tetrominoes in the style of The Emoji Movie. So I went into BlackBerry with a very open mind, as even though I’m aware of the phone’s existence, I never really knew the story behind how this popular mobile device all of a sudden vanished from the public eye so quickly. Back in the 2000s this device was all the rave, and all the kids at school would go out of their way to persuade their parents to get them one so that they can show it off to their classmates as if they were some rich businessmen. Now however this phone is all but forgotten. I checked prior to writing this review and in fact you can still purchase some models from Amazon, so if you’re feeling strangely nostalgic about your school days, feel free to waste your money. Anyway, back to the movie...

BlackBerry is a perfectly acceptable history lesson. It’s very informative and plays out more so like a visual guide of a Wikipedia page. You’re given the detailed journey of how the company Research In Motion came to create such an iconic device, and then there eventual downfall. We’ve seen this kind of tale of fraud and greed many times before, however if you’ve enjoyed similar movies before, BlackBerry is an easy watch, and again, if you’ve ever been interested in the mobile phone’s backstory, you have it here loud and clear.

Main highlight of this film are the two central performances, both of whom are very much outside their comfort zones. It’s nice to see Jay Baruchel in a serious role, taking a break from training dragons, as Mike Lazaridis, the main creative mind behind the creation of the titular device. Baruchel is very good at portraying socially-awkward personas, however in previous films he did this for comedic purposes, however as Mike he manages to find the depth in the character as a tech genius who knows his craft and is being forced to speed run his creations when in reality he wants to take his time to create the best product. Glenn Howerton, who thus far has only been known as the narcissistic self-absorbed Dennis from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, is Jim Balsillie, the guy who takes over Mike’s company for his greedy means. Howerton definitely gets the more showy performance, and does a solid job at being constantly angry with everyone. Howerton also decided to go full bald for this role and you got to give the guy props for the dedication.

I’d say the primary negative I have for this film is its cinematography and direction. Director Matt Johnson evidently seems to have been inspired by Adam McKay’s The Big Short, as he chooses to have the camera repeatedly pan left and right quickly as if all the events are being captured by a hidden camera, however this effect of chaotic shaky-cam can come as very jarring and dizzying, and overall was very distracting. Characters would be having some serious discussion about technology yet I’d be busy wondering if the cameraman’s been spooked by Blair fricking Witch. But overall BlackBerry tells an interesting story behind the scenes of the phone drama, and if anything else I came out of it having learnt something. Kind of feels like being back at school when in class the teacher would stick some film on for educational purposes and then afterwards I may have learnt something, but have never had the motivation to want to see that movie again.

Overall score: 6/10

S2E1 scene 2: Maggie's Rent

Description of the scene with dialogues and comments:

Aerial view of the city, present times, london. The camera pans over crowded streets and sidewalks, it's a bright day. You can see a line of cars and people next to the bookstore.

The bookstore is closed to customers, there is a note in the door that Aziraphale comes for. It stands under the light and reads

A: "Dear Mr. Fell, There is something about which I need to speak with you an a maters of some… ugrency?" Urgency

A: "yours very faithfully. Maggie (in the record shop next door)"

We were shown a close-up of the screen for a spelling error. The note is in an invoice print described as the small back room.

We see the interior of Maggie's shop in warm red and beige colors. Maggie stands behind the car-styled counter, looks at the folded phone, sobs dry. He closes the flip of the phone, puts it down, hears the sound of the doorbell ringing as the door opens.

Aziraphale enters the store, we see the overhead light on, the lights on the car/counter and a red light behind Maggie. There are no other customers in the store.

A: Hello, Maggie

Shot on Maggie, wearing a white collared blouse, pin-up girl headband, teal sweater, looking sadly to the side, smiling as Aziraphale greets her.

A: I got your note.

Aziraphale looks around the store, Rat Kaith album in the background :) Maggie stands up, joins her hands (she has gold rings on her hand, one with a hole in the color of the sweater and two gold less decorative ones on the little finger and on the middle finger)

M: I thought you, well, M: it's been such a rough couple of years, M: beterrn the lockdowns and the internet orders not comming and…

Maggie sighs, while Aziraphale walks around the store and we see a close-up of Maggie's face and her gold earrings. Are they wing shaped?

M: I can be out of here in two weeks. A: Out of here? A: Why? A: Don't you like it anymore?

Aziraphale asks and the title "the walking sham…" (and Rat Keith) is in the background

M: Oh, Mr. Fell, I love this shop! M: I've loved it since I was a baby, But… M: I know how behind I am on rent. A: Well that's entirely my fault for not collecting the rent A: There A: Now, I believe you said A: you were getting in some Shostakovich records for me.

Says Aziraphale and walks over to the counter.

M: I can't pay the rent M: I'm so sorry. M: I can be out of here next week. M: I just have to pack it all up.

Says Maggie, sobbing dryly and taking the record mentioned by Aziraphale in her hand.

A: Maggie, if you were out of here, A: where would I get my records?

An expression of fear appears on Angel's face that she is serious about being locked up.

A: Finding the 78s is much harder than the long players, A: and frankly I wouldn't know where to start M: I don't have the money A: Maggie

says Azirafel and starts a gesture with his hand at the level of the body and gives us a nervous laugh. Something he does when he comes up with a way out of a situation on a regular basis. We'll see this gesture a few more times this season.

A: what if I were to just A: take these Shostakovich records A: without paying for them? A: And we'll call it even

Says Aziraphale with his eyes wide open as he does when he is satisfied with his ideas.

M: And those you thousands of pounds in rent! M: Those records would cost you eight pounds.

Maggie says, trying not to laugh. We see a shot of her desk and can get a better view of the smiley emoji in the background on the wall.

A: Eight pounds and 75 pence. M: [laughs] You can't just forgive me eight months'rent A: Oh, I can. I'm very good at forgivness A: It's one of my favorite things A: Now, you have paid your rent, A: I have my music,

We see a close-up of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in D minor performed by The New York Symphony Orchestra op.47

A: and I know exactly what I'll be doing for the next 21 minutes

Aziraphale heads for the door, Maggie brings her hands to her mouth and laughs in relief.

Chekov's shotgun/Red herring/Occam's razor/Foreshadowing - or what clues we have and what this scene is for

Aziraphale doesn't want changes in his environment, he likes (classical) music and doesn't care about money. For several months, he does not ask for payment, which means that he does not go after people for money.

We learn that one of Aziraphale's favorite things is forgiving and that he is a landlord who rents space, thus theoretically earning money in a human way.

We meet Maggie, who has been "in the area" since she was a child, because she loves this store for so long (later we will find out that this place is inherited from the founder Grandma), that she has no customers, that she has no money and does not pay, and that she makes language mistakes. Her clothes, similarly to Azirafał's clothes, are stylized for the "older period" - Maggie's aesthetics brings to mind pin-up girls.

Questions:

Why did Maggie slip a note instead of just come and talk?

Why did she write it on the invoice? That is why it was decided to prepare an invoice printout?

Why does Maggie seem artificial (to me) in this scene. She's not a bad actress

Why this symphony?

why 21? The longplay is up to 30 minutes long, the symphony lasts almost an hour

What does Maggie live on if she doesn't make money? Outside the store, he has to pay for housing and food.

Have we seen this store before in shots of seasons 1 and 2?

Why does Maggie make a typo? Is it just red herring or a reference to demons? Or maybe Crowley's mirriing, who then also has a problem with the variety?

Why is it suddenly urgent to talk about payment after 8 months?

Hypotheses:

Simple answer: The door was locked. Second answer: She couldn't get in.

Money, retribution and difficulties with it are important to the story

This is a deliberate choice of the screenwriters

I'll just throw a few meta and music itself searches in here. in short: he composed during the repressions of the Soviet Union. He composed fearing for the lives of his loved ones, because his views were not in line with the Party's line

Is this a reference to the soul from the movie 21 grams?

Maggie isn't human, she doesn't need the money (or food), or the store is beyond her needs, she only has enough to survive

We later learn that Maggie's Grandma originally displayed merchandise at Aziraphale's Store, but we know she was no longer there in the 1940s.

It is just red herring. 8b. or a reference to demons 8c Or maybe Crowley's mirriing, who then also has a problem with the variety

Maybe it's just that the next payment is coming up, it's the ninth month. To remember:

Behind maggie is a calendar with the date 2021
