#the only reference i had on hand was the stardew valley one lol

[stealerofthe2ndbraincell]

As a light bit of relief from the everything going on right now, I'm going to detail some horrible shit I got up to since starting Stardew Valley a couple of weeks back, so hopefully you can relish in my screw ups :)

(for reference I'm in my first year of Autumn/Fall right now) :

1. Can't fish.

I have successfully caught one fish so far. Willy SHOWED UP at my home, asking why I don't fish and gave me the basic baby rod to fish with and I STILL CAN'T.

2. Thought crops played by the rules of my very limited experience with plants and only watered them every couple of days and was confused why they weren't growing as quickly.

3. I then thought the crops played by Minecraft rules and refused to walk on any of them and created long 1x1 paths of a singular crop to avoid that.

I went from not watering at all to just watering for days.

4. Kept on watering during the rain.

4. Sold literally all of the material I had found during my first season and half, so I was without a scarecrow or a furnace or more then one chest (which I only got at the end of Spring).

5. Didn't piece together that I couldn't stay up beyond 2am for ages and KEPT on thinking I'd fucked up with something else when I'd "coincidentally" pass out at 2.

5. Exclusively gifted Elliott clams until the start of Fall, as I thought he'd like them cause he lived in a beach shack.

I was essentially picking up gravel in his garden and handing it to him as a present.

6. Ate pretty much ALL OF MY EARLY HARVESTS.

7. Then refused to eat until I was already sluggish from over-exertion.

8. Still don't have enough for a coop or any animals.

9. Almost got a Joja membership. :(

10. Asked every single candidate to be my dance partner and got very sad when EVERYONE refused.

11. I can barely navigate my own house cause I kept on placing the chests I do have now everywhere instead of selling what I do have to reduce clutter and general stuff.

12. Named my cat Ritz. Not something silly or bad this time. My mutual @beepbeepdespair just thought she reminded them of a tuxedo cat -> song Puttin' On The Ritz. :)

If I think of more I'll be sure to add them. Stay safe and enjoy my failures lol <3

[sarcastic-fandomtastic-dragon]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve actively kept up with any askblogs, but I’ve been seeing all the new plot and I just realized I miss this boi so much he’ll always have a place in my heart @radplaidbois

[realcube]

random kisses w/ the haikyuu!! boys hcs 💋

characters: tsukishima, akaashi, kenma, iwaizumi & noya 

thank you to anon for the amazing request :3

IWAIZUMI & KENMA’S ARE AGED UP

tw// swearing, sexual references, mentions of kinks, mentions of choking

Kei Tsukishima

tsukishima was always very hesitant to kiss and hug tbh

the only thing he did freely without overthinking was hold your hand but even then, he’d immediately pull away if he thought his palm was getting the slightest bit sweaty (from his nerves)

also, he’d get really tense when ever he saw you lean in for a kiss bc he was always afraid that he’d mess up something 

like what happens if he sneezes exactly when you’re about to connect lips?- he’d die, that’s what would happen. 

anyway, when you first began surprising him by placing kisses on either the back of his hand or the nape of his neck, he’d become a blushing , irritated mess

like, he thought it was so cute and sweet so of course he’d blush but then he’d get mad bc..you made him blush! how embarrassing for him, tsk.

but although he’d be annoyed and hiss things like ‘you’re so weird’ or ‘that’s simp behaviour’ he would never tell you to stop bc deep down he knows that he enjoys it lol

and surprisingly, he wasn’t in denial about it at first either 

like mans isn’t stupid 

obviously he liked it, why else would he blush?

since he was aware that he liked your lil’ random kisses, he began to pretend to be invested in activity bc he realised that if you thought he was preoccupied with something important/stressful, you’d be more likely to give his neck a lil’ peck

for instance, if he’s just on his phone or whatever then you text him saying that you’re coming over, he immediately rush to gather his backpack and bring out his notes so he can sit at his desk to look like he’s studying lmao 

then you walk in like ‘awh bb you’re always working so hard 🥺 kithes’

and he’s just got the most cunning smirk on his face which he’s trying his very best hide to conceal

then you gave him a kiss on the cheek and he was just like ‘gotcha bitch ( •̀ ω •́ )✧’ 

anyway, when he’s just deadass being lazy he can still tell when you’re about to kiss him bc he’s very observant etc etc

(also bc you always have a cheesy grin on your face before you kiss him lol)

so after a few years of dating, they become less of ‘random kisses’ and more like just regular kisses for tsukki but he always tries to act like it’s surprising 

whether that be jumping slightly whenever you peck the back of his neck or inhaling sharply as you pressed a sudden kiss to his forehead

it’s just bc he loves to hear your giggles at his reaction 🥺 he thinks it’s so cute

Keiji Akaashi

this all began when he was lying on the couch, reading a book while looking absolutely scrumptious so you just had to give him a lil’ peck on the forehead and he’s been addicted ever since

he especially likes it when you sneak up behind him, wrap him in a hug then plant a kiss on the nape of his neck - he thinks it’s so cute and he always cuddles your arms to his chest so you don’t let go 

OMG AND YOU DID IT AT SCHOOL ONCE AT THE END OF PRACTISE, IN FRONT OF ALL HIS TEAMMATES AND HE JUST- MALFUNTIONED FJBFVBGRAFD

deadass he just stood like a statue while you cuddled up behind him, his mouth slightly agape and his eyes wide 

bokuto thought it was adorable and was like ‘awwwhhh!! #couplegoals!! 💖💕🥰’

(yes he does say the hashtag aloud)

while the rest of the team are wondering if akaashi is okay. i mean, mans looking pretty stiff

but dw he’s not dead y’all, he’s just ascended  👼

like seriously he loves it so much 

sometimes he tries to give you random kisses by just grabbing your face while you’re doing something and lean in to place his lips upon yours but he always gets distract by how gorgeous you are, so he’ll spend a little too long admiring your face which will lead to you having to awkwardly muttering something along the lines of

‘i love you too, akaashi. but, erm, my toast is burning.’

Hajime Iwaizumi

iwaizumi already did something kinda similar to random kisses but not really yk?

like whenever he saw you really invested in an activity that you didn’t like doing (cleaning, laundry, studying, chores etc) he’d plant a firm kiss on your cheek which would end up trailing across your face, to your lips - just to boost your spirits lol :)

but they weren’t really surprising or ‘random’ bc he would always announce something to grab your attention before kissing you, like ‘babe’ or ‘wow’

also, imo ‘random kisses’ gives off a ‘sweet lil’ smooch’ sorta vibe but the kisses he gives you are far from ‘smooches’

like they are unintentionally sensual as hell 

and he doesn’t even realise how erotic they are so he just suddenly pulls away to leave you with your chores ✋😔

anyway, you first gave him a surprise kiss while he was cooking dinner and whispered something jokingly in his ear along the lines of ‘woah, husband material.’

damn, if iwa knew that all he had to do for some kithes was be a hubby then he would’ve done that sooner like geez 😳

istg after that day iwaizumi would be in full maid-mode whenever you were in the house (bc he apparently doesn’t know the difference between the duties of a maid and a ‘husband’ lol)

‘yes i do the cooking, yes i do the cleaning’ - nicki manaj, hey mama -iwazumi hajime after being told that’s he’s husband material

so know you feel obliged to give him kisses and praise him whenever you see him doing chores/cooking/gardening bc you know he’s only doing that to please you lmao

so you just give the man what he wants i mean, he’s trying so hard

and he puts in so much effort to make sure he looks hot while doing it

like if he’s cleaning the bathroom room, he’ll oil himself and get out the Mr Muscle spray to make sure that his chest is shinier than the bathroom tiles

then you’ll kiss his forehead and tell him how he’s doing a great job blah blah blah

honestly, the kisses are hardly ‘random’ anymore since iwaizumi sets up a whole scene just to get you to peck his cheek but whatever

anyway, you helped him realise that he had a domestic and servitude kink 

and for that, he’s forever grateful 🥰

Kenma Kuzome 

pov: you’re sad so you play stardew valley and your s/o notices and they pounce on you with their love and affection 🥺

and you cry bc you love them so much but you’re not good at expressing it 😔✌

- ok, end of pov -

that was kenma’s pov btw ^

but like seriously, it’s his absolute favourite when you give him kisses while he’s playing video games

and you always give exactly the right quantity - it’s like you can read his mind or something  

like, if he’s in a the climax of a round of any first-person shoot/rpg and you happen to walk by, you’ll just place a brief yet caring kiss on the side of his head then leave him alone

or if he’s on stream and you walk into the room - but don’t wanna be on camera - you’ll blow him kisses and he’ll smile like an idiot then discretely blow one back

then his chat is like ‘omg he can smile?’, ‘why is he smiling?’ ,‘is he sending air kisses? SIMP!!!’

but when he’s down, blaring lo-fi music from his cat speakers and playing animal crossing, nintendogs, stardew valley or tomodachi life (etc), you’ll shower him with all your cuddles and kisses 

ngl tho, when you scuttle up to him while he’s playing any game and press a lil’ kiss on his ear as you absently rub his shoulders, he literally melts 

he just kinda sits there and stares at the screen but not even a fraction of his mind is dedicated on the game, it’s all just ‘(y/n). i love them so much. i hope they know that. wow, i got so lucky, i hope they never leave me. (y/n), if only you could read my mind.’

and to show that he likes it, he purrs!!!

not voluntarily, it kinda just escaped his mouth the first time you were giving him a massage and since you insisted that it was the cutest thing you’ve ever heard, he continues to do it - but v quietly

but- there is one thing he likes more than random kisses 

and that is random cuddles

or random lapping-sitting yESSS

he is a simp so if you’re feeling needy or whateva and sit on his lap while he’s playing, he’ll literally just quit tbh- 

that’s one of the only times he’ll not use the excuse ‘i’ll do it when this round ends’ so use it wisely and sparingly

but that’s only if you sit facing towards him bc he realised that if you sit like that, he’ll get some cooch 

but otherwise, if you just sit on his lap for the sake of sitting on his lap, he’ll either jokingly push you off or continue playing his game by looking over your shoulder

Yū Nishinoya 

you stole it from him lol

he’s the OG random kisser  ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ 

let’s recall how on your first date with him, you were worrying that he might’ve stood you up as you waited on the picnic blanket for him to arrive and then he jumped out from one of the hedges and attacked you with kisses

like mans got a lot of energy so i can just imagine him attacking you with affection whenever he is bored

and he does it regardless of what you are doing at the time

studying? kiss attack.

cleaning? tickle attack.

sleeping? cuddle attack.

hotel? trivago

he goes into that shit with a strategy too like ‘if i kiss them on the neck first they’ll move their head and arm which will give me access to their chest so then i’ll plant a kiss there too and depending on whether the jerk to the left or right i can then go in for a kiss on their n--’ etc etc

so imagine how hyped he is when you sneak up behind him in the school corridor and peck his cheek

AND IT WAS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS TOO, IT WAS AWESOME

he was so triumphant about it, as if he had just won some sort of award lol 

‘yes, i am the coochieman. and what about it?’

then he bought you lunch for ‘being the best s/o ever’ 🥺

but don’t think you’ll ever beat him in the random kissing game bc while he was feeding you the lunch he bought (he does that sometimes, playfully though, whenever he is feeling like a simp) he’ll lean in and steal a lil’ kiss which will lead to you choking on your rice 

‘hey babe, plz don’t choke. otherwise i’ll have to give you mouth-to-mouth, ahaha.’

meanwhile, you’re turning red

😊: what makes you happy? 😇: do you believe in guardian angels? 👾: what’s your favorite video game? 🌤: what’s your favorite type of weather? ☕️: coffee or tea? 🍺: do you drink? 📚: what’s your favorite book? ❤️: what’s something that you love?

😊 what makes you happy?

Crocheting/learning to knit! And if I’m not actively doing it I love you watching tutorials for new stitches and patterns and stuff! I’m not super good right now- I can really only do simple things with crochet and it literally took me two years of trying to learn how to knit two types of stitches- but I’m excited at how good I could be one day if I keep at it! And I love making things to keep people warm and cozy 😊 it’s a really nice feeling. Also this might just be a me thing but I find watching other people’s hands while they craft so soothing and relaxing. It’s really cool how everyone has their own different style and way they hold things! There’s no true right or wrong way to do it and I really love that!

😇 do you believe in guardian angels?

So I know that certain parts of Christianity do believe in guardian angels but it honestly wasn’t ever something I was exposed to growing up in the church outside of references in tv shows and books. I really like the idea of someone looking out for you and keeping you safe and helping you make the right choices in tough situations. But as far as it being part of my belief system I can’t say that I do.

👾 what’s your favorite video game?

I could talk about Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing or the Sims all day but one of my very favorite games growing up was one called Magical Starsign. I had it for my DS and I played it over and over again! It was a power of friendship type game about students at a magic school whose teacher goes missing and so they sneak out of school in hidden rocket ships to search the galaxy for her. It sounds super silly lol but it’s filled with great music and lots of puns and actually really decent friendship dynamics between all the characters! I adored it and I highly recommend this silly little game.

🌤 what’s your favorite type of weather?

I used to love snowstorms as a kid but now that I have to drive in them I’m not a fan anymore lol. My favorite weather would be the chilly, slightly cloudy summer mornings right before a scorching hot day. At camp I always knew I’d have to change my outfit like three times on days like that but the mornings always felt so good!

☕️ coffee or tea?

I love tea but for the last year I’ve had to up my caffeine intake in order to function like a normal human being so if it’s not coffee or an energy drink I don’t really have time for it

(I know I should drink more water too. I’m trying)

🍺 do you drink?

I do occasionally! I really like sweet things! And I really appreciate the fact that you introduced me to yummy wines because that’s always my go to lol I love sweet moscatos!

I have a lot of rules for myself with drinking though so I don’t do it super often these days. If baby is at a grandparents house for the night for like date nights (oh how I miss those) I can drink as much as I want but if we’re home and having a drink while baby is in bed I’ll only do it if I don’t work the next day and then it’ll only be one if I’m getting up with baby the next day.

📚 what’s your favorite book?

Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

It was my go to safe place when I was a kid. I often got lost in that world when things were hard in real life. And she left it wide open for sequels that in always wondered about. I wondered what happened to Bens parents and he was a 10 year old wandering the streets for 17 years. And then Cornelia Funke released a sequel and it answered the question. I’m so glad I was listening to the audio book because I wouldn’t have made it through the hard copy lol I’m all grown up now but getting to go back to the world I treasured as a child and experience new adventures? Yeah I cried all the way through it lol

❤️ what’s something that you love?

I love so very many things but right now one of the little things that I really adore is being able to watch the sunrise over the countryside on my way in to work in the mornings. It’s so so beautiful and puts me in the right mindset right away.

Rules: Simply answer the following 21 questions and tag # people (or more!) you’d like to get to know more!

Name / Nickname: bc I grew up while the whole “never share your real info on the internet” advice was real, I always get nervous about this question hahaha. I guess we can go with Pai as a nickname I’ve had for a long time irl.


Sign: Sagittarius

Height: 4’11 (a hobbit)


Hogwarts House: i’m a puff for sure, though I suspect my secondary is probably slytherin


Last thing I Googled: oh god, probably something for this silly fic I’m writing OR something stardew valley related. Last stardew thing was whether or not Penny likes blackberries. For fic, uhhh it was probably about how bad shooting akimbo actually is. Other recent hits include the distribution of Taiwan-Minnan as a primary household language across the island, what kinds of tea Pinglin produces, Taiwanese tea ceremonies, queer culture in China/Taiwan, and capital offenses in southeast asia.


Favourite musician/s: I feel like I’m always obligated to answer Vienna Teng because her music remains important to me even if I’m not currently listening to it very often. Also big fan of Delta Rae, and most recently, Wu Qingfeng.


Last song I listened to: Spotify on my phone says “A Moment Apart” by ODESZA and spotify on my laptop says “下雨的夜晚” by Sodagreen. 


Song stuck in my head: the instrumental to “缤纷了每一天” by GBOYSWAG bc it plays in the bg of a scene i just rewatched lol. 


Followers: 637. wild.


Following: 733. also wild. i should probably clean up a bit that’s a LOT of blogs.

Do you get asks: honestly, almost never. I don’t post a lot of original content, nor do I engage super meaningfully with a lot of content regularly, so that’s not surprising. If I get asks, it’s usually from a friend.

Amount of Sleep: ha. I’m trying to do better because I KNOW that my mental health is highly dependent on it, but I routinely fuck up and fail. so like, usually between 7-9 hours, but then i’ll sometimes just do that good ol 5. I don’t think I’ve dipped below 5 in a long time though, which is good!


Lucky Number: 13 


What I’m Wearing: oh god, a sweater that my mom got for herself and shrunk in the wash, a polka-dot blouse i found in a donation pile at school, and a white skirt I bought when I was 10. so. that should give you a sense of exactly how fashionable I am. 


Dream Trip: given endless money and endless time to deal with any and all anxiety-related problems, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong until I’ve conquered all of my emotional baggage and return home triumphantly fluent in mandarin at least. I would also like to visit the baltics one day, and return to Japan and some countries in western/northern europe, but I feel like that would be thematically too challenging for one dream trip lol.


Favourite Food: scrambled eggs and tomatoes. idk if this is actually my favorite food, but it’s like. the food i always answer bc childhood.


Instruments: piano (above average in general, mediocre for how long i spent learning), used to play violin for 4 years (i am Bad at it), tried a year of flamenco guitar (also Bad at it), and did choir for a number of years (mediocre at it)


Languages: in descending order? English, Mandarin, French, Japanese with some scattered German and Spanish comprehension somewhere in there and then like 2 words in many other random languages 


Favourite Song/s: eek. that’s so hard please don’t do this to me. currently, it’s SOMETHING by Wu Qingfeng, though I’d be hard-pressed to pick one. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the song I’ve had on repeat most often in the last few weeks is probably “恋语1910” by Modern Brothers (摩登兄弟) it’s just such a BOP i’m gonna listen to it right now.


Random Fact: you can say “同志” (tong2 zhi1 — comrade) to refer to queerness in chinese which i think is just the best thing


Aesthetic: unfortunately, it’s child who still doesn’t know how to dress themselves or trash grandma, though I admit that I absolutely LOVE the horrible current fashion of absurdist, pop, vaporwave revival?? it’s just like the art of wearing expensive garbage very badly, and as someone who DOES think capitalism is bad, it’s with great shame that i admit i covet that look so much lol. it’s just so anti-harmony. White t-shirt with what looks like 2 torn up sweaters stapled to it? fuckin iconique. 1830s-esque sleeves with some kind of modern fusion pantsuit/traditional chinese outfit paired with red stilettos?? amazing. plaid bathrobe with bright white sneaks and a mullet? a Look. Yes, I’m just linking to my favorite singers’ performances on Singer. they’re all good u should listen to them. pls i can only talk about this with like one other person pls someone else also fall in love with these bastards. i recommend the 2nd one first simply bc even if you can’t understand the language, tan weiwei’s vocal technique is just!! fuck. but also i put on the video of qingfeng singing and i’m literally on the verge of tears so you know.

Tagging, uh, crap, @pilferingapples, @bodhimcbodeface, @sauntering-down, @ribbonreverse?? if you feel like it no pressure idk
