since youre in your mean girls/renee rapp era:

cadina

rejanis

cadina - makes sense, compels me.

ALL IM SAYIN IS...why tf else would regina stop cady in the cafeteria like that...also there really is something so compelling to me about cady and regina in terms of like. a dynamic. idk....

rejanis - makes sense, doesn't really compel me..

like OKAY YES i do enjoy rejanis i think it's a very fun dynamic. they used to be best friends in middle school and had a falling out and became completely different people and they are like. intertwined. but idk to me like...usually that IS what compels me...but there's something about rejanis that just...doesn't. however in mean girls 2024 they compel me a LOT more.

send me a ship

i feel like jk's ex gaslighted him and that's why he's so afraid of relationships - when he was in this original relationship i think she messed up his sense of reality so much that he doesn't want to give someone else the opportunity to manipulate him like that again. while i don't think she and oc are similar i think the jk's feeling the same stuff with oc rn as he did at the beginning of his relationship with his ex and that's why he was a total douche canoe when oc tried to confess (1/?)

Anonymous said:tbh jk is making me v mad, even though he was explicit from the beginning that he didn't want a relationship, because it seems like he's passing on his gaslighting trauma to oc now (if my theory is correct that his ex gaslighted him) with his conflicting actions. i think jk made his own set of new rules following that break up and the fact that oc is bringing those feelings back to him, effectively breaking his rules, resulted in him being such a douche canoe (2/?)

Anonymous said:unlike oc now, i think jk hasn't gotten the chance to confront his ex yet about the abusive aspect of their relationship so he projects his anger and hurt feelings onto other people that would want to date him. like his rxn towards oc was cruel but i think that cruelty stems from his desire to do that to his ex, to make her feel as small/powerless/defeated as he felt as a result of her gaslighting. idk just my thoughts, i hope this theory-crafting wasn't annoying for you Lu (3/3)

Anonymous said:i mean the last line of new rules is you’re getting over him so im gonna be optimistic ab

Anonymous said:hi thank u for writing us that quality smut. it seems to me that jk is in it for sex and companionship. but i do wonder why jk was so jealous of hobi and reader? im sorry if you’ve alr answered that before but bc y/n wants a romantic connection, i wonder who she’ll get it from if she reconciles with jk not ever being able to meet her romantic needs

Anonymous said:i think i'm gonna reread new rules again to get more perspective on this chapter's events; i totally understand what you're saying about JK, his fuckboi ways and the dismissal of platonic feelings, but my mind is used to that shift to romantic feelings in these kinds of stories so i wanna go back and analyze. your stories always get me so worked up :,( i sent asks last night that were probably annoying for you to read (if tumblr didn't eat them) so i'm going back IOT check myself for the future

Anonymous said:Did no one else pick up on jungkook being apparently good at skating on his date with hyejin? Whilst he was terrible at it with the OC...? That was the warning sign for me...

Anonymous said:Something definitely happened in Jungkook’s past for him to have that perspective on relationships. Loved the new chapter of NR, I want you to know that you’re an absolutely amazing writer💛

vickyyy97 said:Wow! The chapter had me on the edge of my seat! My heart was beating so fast! I really want to know the story between him and his ex girlfriend. What happened that made him not go into relationships? Why did he confess if he told her his views on relationships? So many questions! I think Jungkook is scared to go into relationships. Maybe they're not ready. Maybe they need to give their feelings more time. So excited for the time skip! Your writing is absolutely amazing! Take your time please! ❤

Anonymous said:You know the moment when she overheard that they went to skate on a date. I thought that maybe it not him but hyejin took him there? Or is it really him? Is it some kind of his plan? He doesn't want her to catch feeling for him? He is afraid that he hurts her? I'm being ridiculous, right?Then why does he need her to admit that she likes him as well?Oh, he wants her to like him as a good fuxk and a friend.Looking forward to the next chapter (no pressure.just saying.I'll wait as long as I have to)

Anonymous said:✨1// Hello! Silent follower here, hope youre doing well ☺️Just read the new nr update; i loved it and just wanted to share my thoughts hehe. I think of myself as a dense reader (not very good at analysing text 😥) so I’m not sure my interpretation is correct and i apologise if its not! Ahh where do i even begin? Overall i find your portrayal of hook up culture so skillful and accurate.

Anonymous said:✨2// I love the recurring portrayal of the ironic intricacies of hook up culture--the very conflicts and uncertainties people want to avoid when they engage in fwb. I also think your approach to this story and its characters is so raw and refreshing; its so smart the way you integrate some of jungkooks actions so that his thoughts and place in him and oc's relationship are blurred for the readers/oc! The confusion in a lot of your anons i think is a sign of how well youve done it 😅

Anonymous said:✨3// In terms of the whole jungkook-relationship-thing from this update.. jungkook's past relationship clearly affected his view on relationships/what they should be. Maybe he was led to believe that sexual activity should be enjoyed in platonic circumstances? maybe he believes that platonic relationships are stronger than romantic? Or maybe he simply only has platonic feelings for OC-

Anonymous said:✨4// -but is also really expressive/affectionate to his friends, causing her to see his actions as small confessions and eventually developing feelings herself? There r so many different possibilities i can think of but we'll never know until his past is revealed! I’m curious to see what happened. I could keep going abt the things I’m curious abt/love abt this fic & ur writing but this is getting so long kdsndj tysm for ur updates despite being so busy💕💕we rly appreciate all the work u put in!

Anonymous said:New rules is such a wonderful story& I definitely go back to reread each chapter and always end up finding something that makes me love this story more. Thank you for creating something amazing despite being so busy with real life. Also, with the ending of this update,is Jungkook's past relationship with his highschool girlfriend, maybe one of the reasons why he has these views on relationships, the way he does? Almost like a turning point for him, in some ways, to him being who he is now?

Anonymous said:Wasn’t expecting that ending for Chap 9 but I was still awed! That ending makes me want to reread all the chaps leading to the latest because I am guilty of reading them in rose colored glasses. This really makes me think on the amt of romantic undertones I perceived with JK and how false they were. I’m excited where NR is heading because this was unexpected yet in character with how you set the mc and JK from the beginning.

Here are more lovely reactions, theories, and thoughtful questions. I LOVE NEW RULES BOOKCLUB SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU MY LOVELIES

[killiansbutt]

Thank you for Existing. Send this to 10 people, who, in your opinion, deserve such a sweet message in their inboxes ~( ◡‿◡ ♡)~

Thank you, Jess! I’m so happy to have met you, not only because you help me think about Natsu a lot more in-depth than I already do, but also because you’re genuinely sweet and fun! Someday I’ll also learn to spell your url instead of putting Chickachuu! Because I have to do this 3 times and I think the limit is 10 in a row for asks, I’m gonna tag ten people for this message instead. Crap, I’m running out of people and it’s only the first post! 

@jmosfreckles​ : Sierra, you’re fucking hilarious and our snapchat record was legendary. We’re gonna do it again and beat even our old record somehow! 

@natsusluce​ : Sara-chan! I’m so happy that I met you in the cs butt squad, which then migrated to the alistair butt squad, then to the nalu chat (hitherto referred to as the nalu butt chat in my heart), because it brought me to a whole world of other people. Not only that, but you’re one of my closest friends and I’m so happy to know you, my ouat-buddy, my dragon age-buddy, my Fairy Tail partner. You’re the warden to my Alistair~ 

@raijindork​ : We have opposite timezones and differing views on characters/pairings for the most part, but you’re one of my favorite people to talk to at night (which seems to be when we catch each other the most). I also applaud you for introducing me to Bixlu, which is basically my guilty pleasure ship for Lucy. Thanks, April! ♥

@zeraheart​ : Katy!! How do I find the words?? We don’t talk nearly as much as we should (which is weird because I think we talk a fair bit) but I adore you. You’re funny af who doesn’t hesitate to offer a kind word to people when they need it, you handle drama with grace and try your best to avoid it, and you make cute af art. You’re like a package deal, it’s impressive. I’m glad you joined the nalu chat so I could know you as more than just the person with cute fanart~ 

@papalogia​ : Eien, we don’t ship the same in the Bleach fandom and you actually kinda hate one of my favorite characters, but I honestly don’t care too much (Well, I do, but not enough to bother because to each their own, you know?) about it because you’re awesome and we ship similar/the same in FT so who cares! You introduced me to SaM and Natan and how do you thank someone for that?? Also, you know how long it took me to realize your title wasn’t some obscure latin message? Ages! 

@nalu-4tw : Oh Maria, thanks for being my friend! I love your art and I love your fics! I haven’t known you long, but I’m excited to talk with you more!

@snogfairy : writing senpai! you need to write! the writing doctor says so! ♥ I’ve never talked about James Bond much until I met you, it’s almost funny to think about it, but I also wouldn’t have started working on my fantasy au if you hadn’t prodded me about it. I’m so glad that I met you -- even though I don’t even know when??? or how??? It just happened??

@oldfriend7876 : I’ll never forget the cupcake thing that introduced me to you. In my defense, I was befuddled about your tags about how dark a drawing was and it turned out to just be a picture of a cupcake. When I checked later, it wasn’t anymore. I was positive I was hallucinating till you explained so thanks for making sure I wasn’t crazy! I’m bummed that I missed out on being your Cana, figures I would meet a buddy and not even live near there anymore! Thanks for being my friend and also listening to me barrage you with questions sometimes when I’m confused! 

@gsut : We also have differing opinions about some characters, but that’s okay, because you’re always sweet about tagging anything (and I don’t think you bring it up anyway without someone asking) and you’re so enthusiastic about everything else. I always appreciate seeing messages from you, you’re so kind! :D 

@siriusly-random : Mary! My sims buddy! My fic writing buddy! You make me want to watch the 100 even though I’m also terrified of stepping foot into that mess. I actually don’t care much for gray/lu or grats/u/lu but whenever you talk about it, I get a little more affection for it! Not to say I’ll ever like it, but I love your happiness for it! I didn’t come up with any puns for you, sorry, but maybe next Canada day I will! 

[chikahoshi]

Okay so...it took me a while, but I’m finally doing the little tag thing. Thank you for tagging me @meztliel even though you had to tag a lot of people. ;u; (Edit...I wrote this while being a mess, so sorry if my responses are a little weird. OTL)

Rules:

1. Always post the rules 2. Answer the questions given by the person who tagged you 3. Write 11 questions of your own 4. TAG PEOPLE

1. If you were to trade places with someone for a day, who would it be?

Erm...to be as a vague, either a certain person who’s in Norway or another person in Japan.

2. Which historical figure do you think you’re most like?

Erm...uh...all of the historical figures I’m thinking of are known to be either great or awful people. I’m...kind of mediocre. I really don’t know. D:  3. Do you fear death?

Truthfully, I do, and I think about it a lot, probably more or less than the average person. Sometimes I clutched my hands or move my arms to reconfirm that I’m still in my youth and alive. I realized it sounds silly. :P 

4. Fictional character crush? 

Erm...Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho) since he’s my personal bias. I’ve grown to have to an extremely soft spot for Killua (Hunter x Hunter) as well though. 

5. TV show(s) you’re currently watching?

Not at the moment. I really want to get back into Supernatural if I had the money and time.

6. Is there anything you find overrated?

[I’m going to skip 6 and put it at the bottom for the read more line. Because I’m super paranoid. I’d feel bad if it showed up in the Tumblr search bar with certain key words. I like discussing and friendly debates (even w/ disagreements), but I don’t like malice, which this site has enough of.]

7 When Goku asked you to raise your hands and lend him your energy, did you?

Yes. :D But I forget how the power level works in DBZ, so I have no idea if I would be useful. lol I was considering watching Kai but some say that it’s better to watch the original. But I’m super nervous about the commitment, and after watching Hunter X Hunter, I got burnt out at the end. If there’s one thing I don’t quite like about myself is that binge watching gets tiring, but I also don’t like having to wait off an episode when I get invested. Like if I stop watching for real life stuff, I forget for months and by then, I stop watching completely. I’m really weird. (Which reminds me...I need to finish the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime. .-.) 8. Do you still use cds, cassettes, or vinyl for music?

CDs. :D I have a little collection since high school. Vinyls are way too expensive. :P  9. What’s one of the toughest decisions you’ve ever had to make? Erm...one of the toughest decisions...(EDIT: Shoot I forgot I left this blank when I posted this. Sorry my mind is not thinking clearly. Uh uh uh uh...picking if I want to stay in state or out of state for college.)

10. Have you ever cheated on a test?

Guilty. .-. Like...scribbling on my wrists.  11. Your favorite house from Game of Thrones (ex: House Stark, House Lannister, etc)?

 Uh, I actually haven’t seen Game of Thrones. D: Um...If you’re familiar with Harry Potter, my Hogwart house is Slytherin (with Hufflepuff as secondary), so by default, whatever is closest to that, ahaha.

And that’s pretty much it besides number 6...Which I put at the bottom. So...I guess read it with an open mind? Erm... .-.

As for the tags...I can only think of one person that I can tag, but I feel like I’d be singling them out. ;-; So I’m not sure if it’s worth making questions, lolol. OTL I’m still a nobody in this site (which I’m appreciating it for as long as it is, lol). But it also means I’m really bad at being communicating too.

Sorry for breaking the rules to whoever started this tag, aha.

6. Is there anything you find overrated?

I’m using 0 = o and // to break the words apart since I still feel unfamiliar with Tumblr and would rather try to minimize it as possible. I realize I’m being extra.

Anyways, I find K0rra//sami from L//0//K to be overrated. A lot of people have explained it really well, so I’d only end up repeating a lot of what they said. I guess the only other thing I can add is that I don’t like it when a character gets downplayed in order to advance a certain ship. Other examples would be Misty (or any other character for that matter) with am0ur//shipping from Pokemon or Lisanna with Na//lu from Fairy Tail. (Na//lu in itself is not a bad ship, but I just didn’t like how Lisanna was handled--even if Mashima didn’t wanted to bring her back. :/)

Lets talk sex and how some birds give away their sex by feather color

20% - 25% of parrots are sexually dimorphic meaning you can identify their sex by the color of the bird. Male eclectus are green - females are red. Male Indian ringnecks have the ring females do not. The ring starts to grow in one feather at a time beginning at about 1-1/2 years Adult budgies hens have a cere that is from whitish blue to deep brown in. The most common is a male budgie has a bright blue cere  It may brighten during breeding season, and then fade Sexing lovebirds In the video below we see a lovebird shredding precise strips of paper and then tucking them under her wing. This incarnates it is a female as male lovebirds make confetti with paper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJIUNNssSVg On the Challenges of Feeding Eclectus Parrots 4/22 - customer I have been informed that Harrison's coarse would be a better diet for my Eclectus than Pretty Bird Species Select. In the past I was told not to feed Parrot food to my Eclectus because of digestive tract differences in Amazons and Eclectus. What do you suggest with your experience with the different foods? Thanks for the help. Jeanne Hello Jeanne Eclectus should not eat food offered to most parrots because they have digestive tracts that are twice as long as other parrots, as such they can absorb too many vitamins which can lead to health and behavior issues. This is not true of Amazons although Amazon parrots are prone to fatty liver disease if on a high fat diet Harrisons High Potency (coarse) would be an acceptable pellet for your bird, NOT the Adult Lifetime Harrisons. We do not carry the Eclectus Pretty Bird Species Select due to availability for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmodGrclnlM The Goldenfeast line of bird food that includes a pellet mix called Goldn'Obles as well as seed mixes are NOT vitamin fortified and are all safe for Eclectus.  Zupreem Natural is also considered a safe pellet for Eclectus. Volkman makes a seed blend just for Eclectus, no vitamins added.  I hope this has been good information for you. Thank you  Catherine Yo cat, that was great but took a lot of work. Why don't we just make an Eclectus parrot food category? DONE & DONE! Read more about Eclectus Parrots in this post Eclectus Parrots - Great Family Birds Name: Pam D I have a Cape parrot that loves to get into my potted houseplants or even the garden in summer (tethered of course) and EAT the dirt, I shoo her away, but wonder if this will harm her. Also, she loves the dogs kibbles. I shoo her away from that as well but I've heard dog kibble is bad for their liver. Actually my dogs are given mostly a raw diet and I supplement a little kibble. I have to put her away until they're done or she chases them from their own food :). Thoughts please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wShfNVQkeY Dear Pam The dirt in your houseplants is more dangerous that the kibble. Please cover the tops of the pots so they cannot eat the dirt. There can be fertilizers and others toxins in the dirt. A bit of dog kibble will not harm your birds. As with everything else, moderation is the key. Consider upping your birds minerals as they may be suffering from PICA  is the persistent eating of substances such as dirt or paint that have no nutritional value., but the may be seeking minerals Humans can have the same affliction Hagen Cal-Clay  can be useful as a mineral supplement Pam replied I’m not too concerned about Holly getting into the plants b/c she only gets into the one pot occasionally and I chase her away so I know she doesn’t get much dirt, but one has to wonder what too much is.  Covering it is another good precaution.  I have asked on my Facebook parrot groups about this but No-one has answered this, so thank-you for your quick response – I also wondered about the mineral issue, but my main concerned has been about other ‘things’ she might ingest –I will look into the supplements. The same is true for the kibble – I always chase her away or am sure to put her in her cage while the dogs eat – again thank-you for answering at all. --Just another reason I love Windy City!! Regards, Pam mitchr sticking his nose in things Kibble is in a lot of bird foods renamed “pellets. This situation begs the question what does your bird have to engage with when out of the cage of it's own? Any bird centric foraging opportunities or toy boxes around the house or garden? Sherry writes Lv Sunday Brunch. Helps a lot. Need help with info for egg laying. Huelo, greenwing Mccaw, laid 2 eggs 3 yrs ago. Now has started laying agsin and nesting. Her avian vet.

Thank u, Sherry C Hi Sherry - Here's what we have found works. Remove the eggs - no fake eggs take any nesting material/sleeping huts out for her cage Keep minimal amounts of food in food dish so she gets the idea there is abundant food to feed babies - no food at night Lock her in her cage for 3 days, put a light on top of it and keep it on for 72 hours which breaks the brooding circadian (oscillation) rhythm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRGcPa80Y1c Chatting with Guest You: hello how can i help?
