HELLO‼️ I hope you are safe and well with the hurricane and I'm so glad that I'm able to finally send a request so here it is‼️

There's not many rescue bots oneshots and I want to change that, so in Rescue bots theres human skater buddy with their head in the clouds leading them to getting into trouble frequently (like nearly getting hit by a car or just getting into the crossfire of the rescue bots shenanigans) and it's like to a point where the whole when they are out on a mission have to keep a spare eye/optic out for the little human‼️

I hope you'll be able to get to this before it's deleted or whatever, but still, I can't wait to see what you come up with for this concept. Thanks, and have a good day/night‼️

Introducing Danger magnet Buddy! love this concept!

Hope you enjoy!

Human Buddy the skater and a danger magnet

SFW, Platonic, Human Reader

RB

The Burns family had known about Buddy’s little quirks for years.

They were after all good friends with Cody throughout their childhood.

The kid had their head up in the clouds or down with their skates.

Luckily, Cody always seemed to find ways to get them back down to Earth.

Too bad there wasn’t much he could do about their terrible luck with dangerous situations.

They never mean to be in these situations, they just happen when they’re around.

It took a while for the Burns to finally understand it wasn’t their fault.

It was a small island, one was bound to get stuck in the crossfire at some point.

When the Bots arrived, Cody made sure to debrief them a bit about his friend’s tendencies.

Heatwave is convinced that Buddy is doing it for attention.

There is now way someone can be THAT unlucky.

Not even on this island.

Kade and him have little talks about Buddy being a ‘danger magnet.’

Kade: “You think they are doing it for attention?” Heatwave: “Isn’t it obvious? There’s no way they aren’t doing it for any other reason.” Kade chuckles. Kade: “We used to think that too… but after a few years of seeing their little dumb face around, you kinda start believing it.” Heatwave: “What do you mean?” Kade: “There a bit of a danger magnet.” Heatwave: “Why is that a magnet you have!?”

He does start believing the existence of ‘the danger magnet’ after a few missions where Buddy just showed up randomly.

Heatwave hates to see Buddy in the line of fire, especially when they have no control over it.

Always reminds his team to keep an extra optic out for the little skater.

Speaking of skates, Heatwave actually likes seeing Buddy skate around the bunker.

Especially when they show off some of their tricks.

Buddy is a bit oblivious to why Heatwave is so insistent to them staying with Cody on com job.

Chase and Boulder are confused.

Why does Buddy go to these dangerous places?

They aren’t durable enough to be so close to the danger.

Chase has a separate file on all of Buddy’s incidents.

Chief Burns: “Chase? You, okay?” Chase is typing on a data pad. Chase: “I am simply reporting Buddy’s latest incident on today’s rescue. Today they were stuck in the same tree as Mister Pettypaws… I still wonder how they got up there with their skates…” Chief Burns: “Oh, don’t think too hard about that Chase. That’s just how Buddy is.” Chase: “Do they like danger?” Chief Burns: “No, they just have a bad record of being in places at the wrong time.” Chase: “… I can try to clean their record if you allow me access to them.”

Boulder takes a more direct approach and asks Buddy why they keep going towards danger.

Buddy just shrugs and goes back to their skates.

The green mech decides to ask the others about Buddy’s behavior instead.

Boulder: “Is something wrong with them?” Graham: “Nothing’s wrong with them Boulder.” Boulder: “Then how come they always seem to be near our dangerous missions? Even Cody doesn’t do that too often.” Graham: “When you’ve known them as long as we have, you start believing the phrase ‘wrong place and the wrong time.’ We can’t exactly explain it, but the best we can do is look out for them. No one can control what happens outside Boulder.” Boulder: “Hmm… I guess you’re right.” Later… Chase and Boulder look at their creation with pride. Buddy is wrapped head to toe with bubble wrap. Buddy: “How am I gonna skate like this?” Chase: “Sacrifices must be made Buddy.”

The pair find Buddy’s skating to be interesting and a bit relaxing… as long as Buddy has the proper safety equipment on them.

 Buddy doesn’t like the ‘creative’ ways the bots are trying to keep them ‘safe’, but the thought is what counts.

Blades, unlike the others, fully understands the phrase ‘wrong place, wrong time.’

But he also believes an outside force is making Buddy go to these dangerous places.

Already has a bulletin board with the red string trying to figure out what could be making the little skater go to these places.

Blades shows the board to the rest of the bots. Blades: “I’m telling you guys! There’s a connection somewhere!” Heatwave: “… How long have you been working on this?” Blades: “Not important.” Chase: “Blades, is it highly unlikely that something is making Buddy do these things.” Blades: “But if you see what happened last month and 5 months ago—” Boulder: “Blades, when was the last time you recharged?” Blades: “Not important.” Heatwave: “I’m calling Dani.” Blades: "Wait don’t!”

He just doesn’t want Buddy to get hurt by being in places they aren’t supposed to be.

Blades has a separate med kit in his subspace labeled ‘Buddy’s’.

The bot loves Buddy’s skates and has already asked Doc Greene if he could make a pair for him.

Heatwave has tried to stop him from getting these skates too many times to count.

He isn’t known for being the best with balance.

Buddy enjoys Blades making little videos and changing music while they skate around.

Do you have some good recommendations on learning about the Canaanite deites?

Hi there!

This may not be a satisfying answer and, trust me, I'm right with you. Like all* pantheons there is no strict 'canon' but I'd say the things to understand the very basics would be The Baal Cycle and the Epic of Aqhat. Both are incomplete texts and the tablets are not in any known order so it's difficult to decipher them. Other than that, there's not really much. Each translation has its own issues (I'm personally not a fan of those that translate Anat's epithet of 'virgin' into 'adolescent' and anything else suggesting a goddess of sexual fertility would be a prepubescent child) and any other supplementary information I would use my own judgement to be judicial about. Also, due to regional and religious politics, you have to be quite judicial about what sources and opinions you put stock in. For instance, I personally wouldn't give a shit about what the Old Testament and Philo of Byblos have to say abt the Canaanites and their gods because any sources resulting from them have political incentive to slander and badmouth. Any other secondary or tertiary source or blog post has to be taken with quite the large grain of salt, as the Canaanites have a bad habit of being used for chauvinist or nationalist rhetoric. I myself am Palestinian and Muslim so I have my own biases, it's just good to stay aware of what baggage people are bringing into something like this.

Another good place to start would be the Egyptian city of Avaris/Awaris and the Hyksos Dynasty of the Second Intermediate Period. I just finished a loooong final essay about the xenophobia politic surrounding them HOWEVER it seems that "eastern" religion had been established in Egypt long before and continued long after the SEP. My favorite fun fact about this is that Ramesses ii named his first daughter Bint-Anat (Daughter of Anat) and depicted himself as married to Anat so theres bound to be a but about the pantheon immortalized there.

Best of luck and happy reading!

Hey! I love your artwork! I think it’s beautiful!!!

I just wanted to ask, what would Toby and Natalie’s relationship be like if they were able to start dating? I’m genuinely curious.

P.S. LONG LIVE TICCIWORK AND NINAKATE!!!!!

HIIII OK I LIKE THIS OMG i cant believe i hadnt thought about it before. ok i spoke a lot more than i thought i would...all under the cut LOL omg..

okay so, like i mentioned, they would probably have some random drunk kiss one night. maybe a christmas party and nina brings in mistle toe and its stupid. maybe new years party and the clock strikes 12 and they were like 'fuck it why not'.

natalie would have to initiate a lot of the starting conversations and touches. toby grew up with people thinking he was some gross virus roaming around, with boys pushing him around and girls sneering at him, so he's really hesitant. and natalie does get upset pretty easily if toby tries doing things without her permission, even if its something like doing her laundry - he has to ask. and he always does

it would start off pretty awkward too... neither of them know what to say, and both of them are so stubborn with egos the size of the moon - their pride knows no bounds. but at times, toby's ego can morph into something more cocky and he'll say stupid shit. 'you wanna kiss me so bad i know it' 'oh should i get nina to buy some mistle toe again' 'if you wanted to spend the night you couldve just asked'. at first clocky would get mad and pissy, and toby would laugh at her, and they'd move on. but eventually instead of moving on, one of them would say something like 'well.... do you actually want to' and they would. awkwardly, of course. a kiss, laying in bed together, brushing eachothers hair, etc.

their most intimate moments probably happen in the kitchen. that's always been quite the place of love for toby, so to lean against a counter and bring natalie close and give her a kiss in the warmest room of the house while something good is cooking in the oven ... probably means a lot to him

i think they'd love hikes. theres a waterfall in my au that they'd go to often, strip down to their underwear, and sit under. they'd wrestle and splash water and laugh and eat some fruit they packed and fall asleep under the sun after hours of just fucking around. kisses constantly swap between sudden acts of passion and excitement, to a quiet, lazy, quick kiss while throwing a towel over their shoulder.

but of course, they are still difficult. toby's reckless and natalie is picky, so theres a lot of arguments that spring up from nothing. this would be a constant thing until one of them eventually cries - something neither of them are used to. that would probably be a tipping point for them to start really looking into being a better person for eachother. but that is not easy by any means and neither of them are capable of being perfect. at fucking all

their biggest issue would be close to their canon shit.. toby wants to stay, clocky wants to leave. run away from all the bullshit she got trapped in. clocky is more likely to truly just fuck off and leave toby behind, and that scares the everliving shit out of toby every day - he'd swap between 'i have to be so good she'll never leave' and 'you fucking asshole just leave already its inevitable theres nothing i can do to change it'. but clocky just wants to live a normal normal normal life. she wants to grow old with kids and a career and a nice dog and to make dinner every night. she wants her biggest problem to be the dog tracking in mud.

eventually toby settles down, and while he cant just walk away from slenderman, they figure something out. a shared apartment, toby gets closer to the farm owners and he starts working more often. clocky gets into tattooing. toby is the first person she ever tattoos on. they both have to compromise a lot, but they can't imagine doing this for (or with) anybody else

hiii ridi, how are you!! i finished trc last night and i am still not over the fact that gansey didn’t end up actually dead??? like ngl i’m very disappointed, it just robbed us of the emotional impact that his sacrifice was supposed to have, and we spent 4 entire books awaiting his death and for what! ahh. and i say this as a gansey enjoyer! he’s such a little guy, like i truly appreciate him and his anxiety and his need to control the narrative and fix his friends’ lives and ! ugh. i also was just really surprised that he came back to life because nothing on tumblr (like primarily your blog hahah) had me under the impression that he wouldn’t actually die?? i was waiting for the “get him off the road, he’s not an animal” bit because i knew it was coming and then. two pages later. well… anyway yeah, would love to hear your thoughts on all this <333

hi darling im not too bad!! how are you!! agh yes the not-death...to be honest i dont remember it particularly bothering me but i can definitely see it on both sides!! and i dont remember if i knew whether he lived or not when i read it lol..but i can definitely see what you mean like we spend four books structuring the story around this supposed fated ending and he doesnt stay dead for particularly long. i would not have minded if hed died and stayed dead!! as a fellow gansey enjoyer i mean the book ends anyway so its not like as gansey enjoyers we'd be deprived of anything. i suppose from the other side you can look at his obsession with glendower over the series and this quests he feels hes fated to complete and the way he feels his life is owed to answering this question after it was saved and say that the real question of the series is what ganseys life looks like if you remove that element from it. like theres that whole question of what lies on the other side of the glendower quest for him, what happens if he finds him or does not, because it is this thing orchestrating his life and trapping him in this perceived purpose that he literally has to die to get out of and actually maybe that has been the point of his journey all along (cringe way of putting it but its 11.30pm here and im an idiot)...his sense of being caught up in this bigger thing and being duty bound to live out a certain fate as if his life almost does not belong to him. and then he dies and that is that life ending and when he comes back his life is his again....glendower was dead and gansey kind of wanted to live etc...not saying this is a correct reading or one is more right than the other im sure there are people who have given this story more thought than i reading this and shaking their heads at my stupidity and poor comprehension skills...but i read these books a few years ago to be fair to me....but yeah!! both are valid imo i can see why someone would feel a bit cheated by that ending but i can also see how it works : ^ )

theres an ongoing handbound fanfic book charity aiction on ig. are you okay with the books making hundreds of dollars (even up to 1k+)? is this not consider profit despite it going to charity

I was going to stay out of this, but I learned this afternoon that a binding of laoha was included in a charity auction for a refugee relocation fund. I want to publicly state that I have never given my permission for laoha to be included in any auction. I have had what felt like a loose enough binding policy that people who wanted bound copies of my work could make that happen between friends and acquaintances without jeopardizing the legal status of fanfiction. I was messaged about including laoha in the auction, and did not give my permission to use it. An auction feels like a dangerous grey area, and I never intended my permissions to cover anything where hundreds (and in other authors' cases thousands) of dollars were being spent on bindings.

It breaks my heart to have to say any of this. I wish my fandom work could legally be a small part of helping someone in need. And I would auction off a custom original short story or something like that in a heartbeat. But I did not intend my blanket permissions to cover this use. I'm sorry there's been so much bad feeling over this. I hope everything can be resolved in a way that keeps fandom safe and doesn't harm the intended recipient of the funds.

"Don't ever take relationship advice from your friends again"

Synopsis- Your friends don't like Gojo so they try to get in your head.

Warning: Fluff, Mention of sex

It was a warm night so you decided to go out with your friends for a girls night. Gojo begged you not to go. He kept telling you that your friends are bad influences and that they don't like him. You kissed his cheek and tried to reassure you that your friends love him but he wasn't believing it. You wore a short yellow plaid mini skirt with a white crop top. You bent over to put on your white converse to compliment your outfit. "Baby, I love you and I don't usually care what you wear but that skirt should be for my eyes only." He said, his hands snaked to your waste as he put his head in to your neck. "Gojo, it's not that short. You can't see much, plus I'll make sure it stays down." He kissed your neck holding you tighter. "Don't go. Stay here and I show you a better time than they can." You giggled and pushed him away. "Later." Was the last thing you said while grabbing your keys and heading out the door, the Uber waiting for you outside. Gojo argued against it but you won of course.

You got dropped off at the bar and your friend group was in the parking lot waiting for you. "Bishhhhhhhh! We missed you!" One friend said as she came and hugged you which led to the others doing as well. Yall walked in and immediately went to the bar. "We gotta get drinks before we catch up." Y/F said. You all ordered your drinks and sat down to finally catch up. You were the last to go. "I mean, I've just been doing the usual. Working and being with Gojo. He's taken me so man-" You said before you was cut off. "Why are you still with him? He ain't shit. He's too friendly and we think he's gonna do you wrong." One of your friends said. You placed your hand over your chest and gasped. "What the hell, where did this come from?" "Y/n, be for real. Look at him, theres no way women aren't throwing their panties at him. He's a man, he's bound to take one of those offers." You looked down at your drink and watched it blankly. You weren't one to overthink but these were your friends and they have always had your back. You bit your lip as you kept your head down in shame. "I have to go to the bathroom." You said as you got up. A few offered to go but you denied the offers. You needed time to yourself. You went into the bathroom and pulled out your phone. The first thing you see was your homescreen of you and him on one of the trips he has taken you on. Tears swelled in your eyes. You clicked Gojo's name and listened as the phone rang. He answered within two rings. "Hey baby, are you okay?" He said. He heard you sniffle. "You cryin?" He said, his voice extremely concerned. "Satoru," you began, "have you been faithful to me?" You questioned. With the sound he made, you knew he scrunched up his face. "Of course I have, why would you..." His voice trailed off as you heard his hand palm his face. "Your friends said some shit, huh? Okay. Be there in five." He said and hung up before you could protest against him showing up on girls night. You used the bathroom and washed your hands. You walked slowly back to the table and sat down. Your bottom lip was between your teeth as you just listened to everyones conversation. The conversations got lower and you weren't sure exactly why. You turn around to see Gojo coming into the bar with the biggest bouquet of flowers you have ever seen. All different colors with a card attached. He did all this in five minutes? You thought to yourself. A smile covered your face as he walked up, making the BIGGEST scene ever. "Attention everyone!" He began to yell. Your could hear your friends scoff but nothing could make you take your eyes away from his. "My girlfriend, y/n, is here with her friends tonight. Friends who don't like me. I wanted to make it publicy known that no matter who doesnt like more or anything like that. NO ONE can get in the way of my love for y/n." He said, your face grew hot, your heart beated fast, and next thing you know, you was in his arms. You knew he was sticking his tongue out at your friends so you tapped his arm playfully. "Let's go my love. Gotta give your friends time to stop hating." He said while grabbing your stuff, the flowers, and you. You laughed as your friends waved you off, they were angry but they have only seen you this happy with him so they let it slide. "Now to give her some cock!" He yelled. "Gojo! TMI" You yelled as you hit his chest. Yall finally got in the car and he placed you in the car, then proceeded to put your stuff in the back seat. After he got in, he looked at you, his eyes were filled with love, lust, and passion. He grabbed your hand, and kissed you so passionately and slow. “Listen to me, don’t ever take relationship advice from your friends again. You might as well be talking to a wall.” He said as he buckled up to start driving. You shook your head and giggled at how serious he was being.

All of my stuff is copyrighted as in don't steal my shit BUT feel free to repost!

Just a quick little something to cheer me up after the shitty day I have had.

[eego0]

You know I love hearing your opinions on MCD stuff.

Thoughts on Shad?

Correlations between Shad/Irene and their relationship vs Aphmau/Aaron?

Opinions on Shad and his relationship with his daughter Alina?

Conflicts in Aaron over his past family (Lily and Jacob, I believe?) and his relationship with Aphmau?

This one is for a potential future fic, depending on the opinions of the rest of aphblr on my most recent poll: If Aaron ever asked Aphmau to marry him in MCD, would the stone in the ring be red or light lavender?

Sorry to ambush you with all these questions, but I couldn't help it. Take whatever time you need to answer <3

1. FUckkkkk Shad is SUCH a good character. Like he’s THE embodiment of a villain. Hero gone bad. And as much as I hate how he used Aaron’s body not only for a physical form but for his voice to manipulate Aphmau, it was brilliant and it added to how fucked he is. He’s like a top 5 favorite Aphmau character for me.

2. The characters having these powerful past lives and becoming powerful reincarnations is interesting in of itself, but even more interesting when you see how similar they act and their similar storylines. (How much do we want to bet that Irene also woke up in the middle of nowhere and suddenly had a conscious? Or would that be pushing the bounds of this time loop too far.). Irene makes a playful atmosphere when battling with Shad. Aphmau and Aaron’s relationship is serious to the naked eye but has an underlying playfulness, if that makes sense. Irene and Aphmau are both nonchalant, playful, extroverted, but most importantly, willing to help anyone who needs it even at the expense of their own mental and physical health. With Shad and Aaron, they both face a situation that leaves them scarred, distrusting, and angry. They solve everything by making others feel similar hurt, or as Aaron says, he solved everything with his sword. The difference is that Aaron found someone to make him a gentle and full being again, but Shad stayed consumed by his rage and continued to hurt others. Aaron changed, Shad got worse.

3. I honestly don’t know. Everyone seems to believe that Shad had a deep love for his daughter, showing when Irene turned her into a relic, but not only do we not really know anything about WHY she was turned into a relic, I just can’t place my finger on why Shad seemed so upset. “That’s his daughter too!” Is the argument but in mcd, Shad only focused on Alina being the keeper of his relic. He actually dehumanized her so much that he called her “my relic”. The only times he called her Alina was when he was attempting to manipulate Aphmau into telling him when Alina was. Maybe he could understand that Alina meant something to Aphmau in a way that didn’t connect to her holding a relic, but I don’t really think he cared about her in any other way. This is a controversial topic in the Aphmau community tho and I haven’t watched in awhile so feel free to educate me if you know more

4. There doesn’t seem to be much conflict about Aaron’s past family besides confronting his grief and allowing himself to love again. I would say that maybe Aphmau felt like she was competing against Lily for Aaron’s love but Aphmau was more mature than that. Aaron loved Aphmau separately from his late wife. Aaron loved Lilith separately from Jacob, so any conflict was likely internal.

5. OKAY. THIS QUESTION. I LOVE POTENTIAL FANFIC QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT GIVES ME INSPIRATION OF MY OWN <333 So personally I think he’d give Aphmau a light lavender ring. He knows she’d love the color and she’d love to wear it. I was originally going to say red so that she could always have a reminder of him with her but theres nothing more telling of the love someone has for their partner than picking a special accessory out in their favorite color. BONUS PIECE THO, a garnet ring to say “Lilith Garnet brought us together in a way no other situation or person could’ve”

TYSM FOR ALL OF THE QUESTIONS MWAH MWAH MWAH! I HOPE MY ANSWERS WERE HELPFUL! I’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SAME QUESTIONS AS WELL!

Katalepsis after live-read thoughts collection

So, now that im caught up about in time for book 1 to end, i am just regurgitating half-thoughts ive had along the ride, doing some retrospection and working my way through all the stuff i still want to draw.

I think thats one of the big things i really noticed and appreciated about katalepsis. Theres just drawability to it. I havent decided yet if its Hungrys writing style in general, the genre, or most likely, a characteristic of Heathers that got me to figure out i can use my laptop as a drawing tablet. Heather in her internal monologue just has a real appreciation for spaces.

A space is rarely a backdrop to do a scene in, the places and buildings and dimensions are characters to heather in a way that just makest a lot of sense for someone who grew up seeing the personified spirits of the everyday world as well as the varied wilds of Outside.

When the Stairwell trap is sprung, theres a very real feeling of betrayal, the willow house has forsaken raine and heather, who previously thought it a sanctuary.

We later learn that the space was bound, artificial, forced to act against its inhabitants in a way a house usually would not, which fits some themes that come up waaaaayy later.

I originally thought this would just be a quirk of heathers, some flavor to her thought processes, but it really did get picked up as an actual story beat, not just an aesthetic, with the soul of edward lilburnes house.

The Outside places are a bit more metaphorical about this, but strangely more clearly alive as well. The Library is an extension of the catalogue, wonderland is dominated by the eye. Ooran Juhs Projected space is his own physical gullet. Carcosa is the stage of a living play. The very first outside space we get to properly see is on the back of some giant creature, hairs and all.

Theres just Personality to every place that keeps them all so very, very vivid.

Ive been planning to draw wonderland ever since the mirror incident at the very beginning of the story, and in a very funny way, as ive drawn other stuff along the way ive been training for wonderland and the eye along with the cast. I really want to do it justice.

Staying on said cast for a bit, ive already talked about raine for a good bit, but theyre all amazing. I was always happy to see that an arc or a few chapters would become a cast members designated backstory time, because i really do want to know more about them and how they work as people. After about the middle point of the story though, those moments and how they connected became pretty hard for me to keep track off

For a reader who was along for the ride since the start, having to wait between chapters as they come out, the pacing probably works way better than it did for me.

I found myself really wishing for more time with the spookycule in each stage of development it had. Early katalepsis with just raine evee and heather is probably where it was the closest to ideal for me, in terms of just vibes i enjoy and things to keep track of.

I dont want to be too analytical, im bad at that, but for example we only see the fractal used to banish a sharrowford cult servitor once.

There could have been way more time spent in the twilight of magic, the street level zone, where every accidental slip outside is a moment of grand terror, and heather learns to live with the idea that the spirits are real.

For someone who gets called “Shaman” a lot later on, we only really see her asking a spirit for directions once (the wrecking ball hands gorilla), where i was expecting that to become a very integral bit of her kit as a character. I love the cephalopod changeling we got instead, but i do feel there could have been a heather who learned to work with her non brain pain vomit inducing abilities for practical reasons, at least for a little while.

After that comes the Messenger demon and maisies message. Knowing the rest of the story, i love that the primary motivation set up here has jack and shit to do with Ed or Alex. This isnt a story about killing the bad guy, its in a very serious way a story about love and that is what should motivate the characters.

Ed and Alex really are just invaders to the story, who grasp at threads that should not concern them at all, with their meddling eventually causing the collapse of Alexs portion of the cult under the Eyes gaze.

I dont quite know how much actual space is in between Kimberly and Zheng joining the household, but this is really the part of the story where just a lot happened at once. We get both badger and sarika, the entire abyss transformation and zheng so very close together.

During the time of the dead hands there is actually some breathing room though. Mostly because set dead hands keep us consigned to a breathable atmosphere for a bit.

The other big stretch of story that i wish lasted longer is the post proposal journey with sevens and saldis through carcosa. Given how time works outside, that whole stretch of time could have really stretched for a while without threatening the maisie limit, and i do wish that some of sevens later character development had happened in here, since i didnt quite know what to think of her after they left the palace, whereas right now in the end she is one of my favourites. I still dont know what i think of the king in yellow being in this story at all, but thats a me issue.

Yeah, so given that most of the smaller thoughts ive already posted in the liveread chat, i guess ive now covered my two big thoughts. I love how katalepsis treats spaces, and the only thing i had any problems with was the pacing, which tbh might just be because i didnt take my time when reading at all.

Time for even less structured thoughts now, just a rapid fire of things that come to mind after reading:

I hope we eventually get a perspective on the worlds cosmology from a mage fully unconnected to the vaguely interconnected british underworld of mages, im very curious how deeply different interpretations of outside, the abyss, demons and beyonders a person might have if they never interacted with the humunculus wars environment. The abyss beeing wet and aquatic seemed to be a general truth, to edward, zheng and even lozzie, until we met taika for example. I want to see more of that.

I said earlier that sevens has become one of my favourites, which is kinda stupid since most characters are my favourite at something by some measure, but Raine and Evee are still the two that are the most meaningful or connected to me. Ive already gone into maybe too much detail on how Raine just works in a way that ive never seen portrayed in anything for some reason. What i havent really realized until about now is how similar evees struggle is. There is that same need to feel useful. They both define their fundamental self via a skill that is in some way repulsive to them for whatever reason, and must cling to another to point them in a direction where they feel they can use it to do good. Evee has to feel useful, has to justify her presence and her dangerous knowledge to herself to some degree, and helping heather is how she does it for now.

The fundamental difference i think is that Raine chose to define herself that way, as knight errant, as supporter, while evee feels any other option to act on the world was taken from her by her mother. This mostly takes the form of her physical disability often stopping her from acting in time, reaching places, but also stopping her anorgasmia seemingly stopping her from loving in the way she thinks is correct (at that point of the story at least. Both of those are changing of course, mostly thanks to Praem).

It kind of lines up with Kimberly in a funky way, since she essentially decided not to use sorcery to justify her presence, both in the house and the story, but still remained around and appreciated, as a sort of in universe counterpoint to evees negative view of herself.

Thats all i can think of for now, i dont actually now how to end this, this isnt a sotry analysis, i have no conclusion except that im glad i caught up so close to the end, because im excited to see all of us react to whatever crazy shit is going down live!

How in the hell did me saying that if you don't like being near a demographic (transwomen, in this case) you can avoid them and not interact with them (possibly by staying home) lead to Islamophobia in my inbox. This individual is being blocked because this was an uncalled for kind of statement.

"Feminists", yeah right. You want to compare your (mild) 'issues' to people actually suffering. Sure there are issues systematically in some areas, under the guise of Islam, but comparing me to a Muslim man to go 'see you are bad' is pathetic. I don't blame every Christian man for the US 'all good women are stay at home moms' narrative, nor do I blame all men of entire countries for the awful things their government are doing, theres no way they all think like that. Men aren't the only people who follow Islam, and if you're so passionate about empowering women or whatever ask yourself why you'll tear down entire religions/beliefs to make your point.

There is a wild difference in a woman being bound to the house due to laws and culture forbidding them, and you hating a group who also has a right to be in public and Ime suggesting that you might want to stay home to avoid them if they ruffle your feathers that bad. You do not get to weaponize the suffering of others to claim life is unfair to you when it is about incomparable matters.

( also: Women could walk outside at night alone, if they wanted to. They aren't banned from doing so. I can not guarantee they would all be safe, the night holds risk for everyone, ranging from falling on your face to being assaulted. I love walking around at night, there's some odd individuals sometimes though. I realize that at 6'1 ish and 280 pounds I'm not a prime target for most violence, however. Its up to the individual to weigh risks of literally everything they do. It is an unfortunate reality, and I'm not sure what this had to do with this topic)

drunk rambling about mark and sampson below

their dynamicmakes me insane i need content for them SO BAD. sampson said and i quote that he thinks there was something real at thebeginning of their relationship BUT NEITHER OF HTEM CAN TELL (BECAUSE SAMPSON CANT REMEMBER) WHEN HE GOT BLOOD BONDED TO THAT SUTPID FUCKING THINBLOOD ABUSER ASSHOLE FUCK and sampson started spying on mark and MARK FORGAVE HIM SO FAST FOR CHEATING ITS INSANE because he felt SO BAD about the whole thing and felt like it was his fault evne if rationally he KNEW it isnt his fault he got targeted but BECAUSE OF THE DAMN BLOOD BOND TO JULIUS (HIS SIRE) he cant blame HIM for it so who else is left ? that dam nthinblood? well he got killed so who is left? HIMSELF so Mark wants the world of sampson but is SO SCARED sampson is gonna resent him once HIS blood bond to mark wears off and is also SO SCARED that the blood bond wearing off is gonna fuck him over but ALSO caNNOT bring himself to force sampson to be blood bonded agian because of all of SAMPSONS TRAMUA but anyway is SO WORRIED about corssing boundaires cause hes so worried sampson nly stayed with him cause he was forced to to spy that he wont call sampson Sammy aymore which he used to. its a whole thing. god. god god god . i dont know if sampson loves him anymoire but if he does im going insane. he wont say it. prob due to being worried but like. holy shit. i need a happy ending for sampson so bad idc if he gets back w mark or not but he needs to be happy. mark is trying so hard to make sampson hapy but sammy has SOOOOOO MUCH TRAUMA and its HORRIBLE what happened to him and the camarilla is so fucked.

and mark is just some guy who didnt ask for ANY OF THIS and he JUST WANTED TENURE and to find LOVE in a HOMPPHOBIC SOCIETY but now the MAN WHO LOVES IS AT RISK FOR JUST BEING ASSOCIATED W HIM AND HES NOT EVEN SURE IF HE LOVES HIM ROMANTICALLY OR NOT ANYMORE BUT HE IS SURE HE LOVES HIM. and hes gonna do his damndest to make everything work out but he knows hes fucked. but fuck. he just wants sammy to be happy man but is too scared to share in that happieness. and he refuses to believe sampson still loves him until he says it. it hurts him so bad that probably the last 2 years of their relationship are a lie. he feels like a fool. so he jsut focuses on all the shit in his life right now cause theres a FUCKING LOT OF IT to resolve but once he resolves it. hes gonna have to confront that hes horribly lonely. so horribly lonely. who does he have left? he cant tell anyone everything

except

for julius who he loves because of the blood bond; julius chose him. hes spcial. julius is so amazing and powerful and handosme nad perfect. but hes evil. on some deep deep level mark knows this. but hes blood bound. hes trapped. he loves him. he can Tell Julius Anything. and He Should

except

in their first meeting he said "you can have many sammys" flippantly. he doesnt care about sampson at all. it is showing that julius does not Care about humans in the same way. the phrase HAUNTS mark. its SO FUCKED UP. how could he love someone who says this ? You cant just replace people like that.

so he doesnt fully open up to julius, due to his love for sampson, this stupid fucking bartender who flirted with him for tips.

this is massive cringe

wow. i love them.

I think that Wade is a heavy switch, but the moment you offer him to bottom, he's already assuming the position.

Logan is used to topping and yes he's a service top but man sometimes wade can get him in this mood ans take such good care of him that he's a mess, ripping the sheets, trying to cover his face, doing this weird mixed whine and growl because god hes so happy and wade makes sure hes okay during the entire thing but hes also pissed off because hes suppose to be the top.

Toxic masc things tell him that being the bottom is bad. But his husband tells him such sweet things and he cant help but wrap his legs around him like hes gonna leave him.

" 'm not going anywhere, baby. Promise. Come're, yeah, you like that? Oh theres my big strong boy. Hes doing so good for me oh yes he is."

Its the death of him. And it only took once.

Wade did it exactly once. And suddenly... he understands how Vanessa could stay so long, and makes the immediate decision that he isnt leaving either without a fight.

Hes so confused after too. Like what just happened? He was just told all these nice things, held, kissed, cuddled, brought snacks and a water, Wade had even had him cleaned up before his high was even over.

He just sits there... staring.. processing the fact that he could have felt this love THE WHOLE TIME? And no one told him?

Later he finds out that wade can do the same while riding him and man.. hes gonna have to put a ring on that thang sooner or later.

Is it possible to be so relaxed and loved, but still growl? Yes. And wade coes over him and rubs his cheeks telling him "Awww my big scary wolvie. You're so mad at me aren't you? Some guy making you feel all these emotions and they're all just bubbling up, huh?"

"Gggr-....Mmmhmmh...."

"Awww yeah I know big boy. My brave honey badger. It's okay, I got you. I'd never be upset with you for having confusing feelings, Loagie."

Oh great now hes hard agian.

Just keeps being like and it becomes somewhat of logans addiction for awhile. Being talked to like this while his brains are fucked out.

If you throw vanessa in the mix suddenly everyone is playing twister because one night ness can be the boss and the next logan is the boss, and then sometimes, rarely, Wade is the boss and those nights are very cuddly and full of babbling dirty talk and kisses.

Either way- when you throw two touch starved insecure and untrusting men together you are bound to have a praise kink sesh at least twice a week.

1.

every time i dump a bunch of shit thats been on my chest it usually starts with all the problems in my life. maybe its because im just shooting from the hip but i find myself stuck in the should-have-beens and the varying levels of "not good enough" but i think ive had enough and for once im putting the shit that runs on the hamster wheel in my head out there where maybe someone can connect and understand and realize they are like me or visa-versa. unfortunately youll have to forgive the lack of proper grammatic structuring and the vagueness, but i dont really care enough beyond stringing my thoughts together in a way that someone can comprehend them, and my lack of specificity is partly to isolate this page from my life, and partly so that those who can possibly connect with some of these topics are able to just a little more.

heres where im at: i've just been through a breakup about a week ago, and even though it was on really good terms, ive opted to keep her out of my life for the time being. im sick of being obsessed and letting someone hold so much power over me (not that she was particularly dysfunctional). we even alluded to getting back together in some undecided amount of time, a time when she can be single for a bit and i can fix the major parts of my dysfunctional life. i dont really care about the breakup. she meant a lot to me but im just sick of her right now and of the apathy. i texted her that i wanted her out of my life so that i can get her out of my head (we originally opted to stay best friends despite the breakup) but that didnt really work.

anyways

off the top of my head i can categorize "dysfunctional" in the context of what im dealing with rn goes like this:

1 - I'm sick of being a beta of sorts. I used to carry myself with a lot of alpha energy that just went out with a bang at the beginning of the last 6 months, which currently, have been the worst 6 months of my life. you might automatically direct your thoughts to me being some andrew-tate-manosphere-15-year-old-incel-cuck at the mention of alpha, but no. It's more in the sense that I had self respect, was much more consistent in the gym and with music, I was way more confident, and all in all I just felt like there was a future on that path that I was taking.

2 - I'm sick of having such a weak internal locus of control. In another perspective one could say I have made leaps and bounds in terms of my level of control and discipline, and they wouldn't be wrong. from where my standards are set, it's nowhere near enough. maybe my goals are "unrealistic" or "too tall" but when you shoot for the moon, even if you miss, youll land amongst the stars. for now, my withered coomer-brain needs a reset, which probably involves some sort of dopamine desensitization, so when i start doing that i'll update on this blog.

3 - I'm sick of my selective pseudo social anxiety. when it comes to social dynamics, once im situated, i find myself more than competent in being engaging, and more often than not im the center of attention, but even so i find there's this level of desperation in the way that i entertain. not to say that im bad at it, no im the fucking best; no one does it like me. at the same time, i find myself feeling that when im joking with a group of friends or just making small talk theres this underlying begging of "please pay attention to me and validate me and dont leave me" that i pick up on, and if i pick up on it others may very well too.

all of these issues tie into eachother in more ways than i can imagine, and for the most part i can trace these issues to their source, the rejection, the shit talking, the anxiety, the deflated sense of self-value/importance/respect, the lack of self control, etc. so right now i guess i need to focus on just fucking doing it or something i dont know.

one of the things i find people (including myself) struggle to do the most is to come to terms with the fact that making significant change involves doing hard shit. for example, if you want to have a nice body and be strong just lift a lot of heavy shit and dont eat like a fatass. It really is that simple (not to imply that simplicity = ease) but so often i find people snorting lines of copium by doing some crazy intricate crash diet or giving in to defeat by saying "oh my basal metabolic rate is too low to lose weight" or "my bicep insertions look weird thats why i dont have good arms" (stay with me here i promise it'll come back to the main topic soon) and you could say that those are good excuses to give up, but you arent going to be any more satisfied with yourself by logically worming yourself out of putting in effort, because it takes effort.

I only said all that because i feel like thats what i do all the fucking time and its probably the crux of all my issues and it makes me fucking crazy. being decently smart doesnt help at all either, because i can logic my way out of fucking everything now, which has probably been the primary contributor to landing me where i am now. It reminds me of the most stand out part of fight club to me, "How's that working out for you?...Being Clever". If i were asked that by a one tyler durden i would say "its the fucking worst".

im all over the place now because my comprehension of this intangible dissatisfaction with myself, which i simultaneously can put into words succinctly, yet also could not describe with all the words of all the languages. i dont want to end abruptly here because it feels like theres more i could go off of, but i cant. tldr; its not over but like shit stinks bad rn :)

its been quite a while, i told myself in july i would talk about the barbie movie, but well that didnt end up happening. i felt awkward writing and i feel awkward now, school started 3/4 weeks ago and its been going pretty ok, ill talk more about that. so first things first the barbie movie was spectacular, i loved it so much, it was so amazing no words, speechless. i dont know if i mentioned this but i went on holiday again, i went to mallorca in june for a week and alicante in spain for 2 weeks. i grew sick of my brother after that, i hope someday we can be friends but i just cannot stand him. my mom said that i will regret not being friends with him when im older just like she did, but i just cant stand being around him. my mom may regret not being friends with my uncle then but atleast there friends now (not for long unfortunately, hes sick). Spain was pretty boring, yes i know im a lil spoilt but we went to spain cuz its cheap (cheaper than staying down the road). i started playing a lot of total drama then stopped after the start of school. Im glad that im actually able to focus on my school work better because i genuinely cannot focus, i really struggled last year cuz i did it in silence and always put it off. now i started watching qsmp along with doing my homework cuz now i feel better doing my homework, my brain just works better when its hearing something and my brain is doing something else at the same time doing my hw. i think its due to when i was younger there was never silence around me when doing my hw, there was always talking always a programme, always something. im doing higher level english, im scared about doing shit in it like every other higher subject im in. but i think im doing good in english, or atleast mediocre, my teacher said that some of my work wasnt the best, which fair nuff it isnt. but i wrote something and it was kinda cringe but my teacher said it was good, and it wasnt cringe as in furry abo type shit i wrote it was more me saying "chillingly good use of onomatopeia" omg i just felt so stupid reading it out, i figured out why it feels so invasive reading it out and its because it feels like reading a diary and your specifically asked to read out ur feelings and opinions about it, unless i say something hateful about it i dont feel comfortable saying it. im doing bad in higher maths i just cannot understand somethings but i dont want to spend more time on it so i might i might not, im scared that i just wont understand it and theres people dumber than me in there, and it feels like i shit also cuz im dumb, i struggle with comprehending things, and i just go on my phone all the time, because i just get so bored, i wish that i would be able to learn things at my own pace (fast but slow at things i dont understand) and i just wish i could learn what i wanted to, i know i can learn maths i just struggle and i dont know why. did i mention im stupid? did i? because your bound to think so now, last year in higher irish i got 23% on my summer exam, and this year i got a note from my parents to move to lower, and i went to give it to him and he gave such a good speech i said okay yeah sure, like how dumb am i?? all my friends looked aound at me and were like "that was your one chance" "why didnt you leave" it was a little demotivating but if theres one thing i can do its spite people, from an early age ive discovered people insulting me is the best power for my success, its better if it feels like they mean it. e.g i couldnt hit a ball in pe with a bat, someone tried to take it off me (multiple ppl) and they said cmon you cant do it, that was really a good motivator because as soon as they reached for it i hit the ball super high. anyways im now learning irish and im struggling really. but duolingos helping, alot. were back to talking to our french penpals and i wrote the most complicated english because i got excited she said i was a nice girl, shes so sweet i love her. i wrote way too much so im gonna go now, have a good morning, day or night.

[pactwyrm]

1. most affectionate

ieyasu.. i feel like he would show both physical and verbal affection while seimei is reserved with both

2. little spoon/big spoon

height diff aside i always think the one w long hair has to be the big spoon so the other doesnt choke and die in their hair

3. most common argument

i think theyd disagree on a lot of things their ideologies are very diff.. but i think the one that stands out the most is seimei trying to do everything alone vs ieyasu relying on others (too much?)

that or... yasu probably disapproves a bit of seimei abandoning his wyrmclan leader duties altho sei still does it if its really necessary. sei similarly accuses yasu of going too far and not prioritizing his own needs

4. most likely to carry the other

yasu (no question about it) not only is sei a stick he would also just not want to carry someone else lol... at the most he'd make a shikigami do it

5. fav feature of the other

ieyasu: his (brutal) honesty; bc of this he prob smiles even when he is being badmouthed by sei.. also i just realised this prob meant physical feature so i think it'd just be.. how small sei is in general...

seimei: his smile (thinks it looks dumb but it puts him at ease anyway) (wont say it)

6. first thing that changes when they realise their feelings

seimei: avoids him, i dont think he considers the possibility of yasu returning his feelings and even if he does sei would rather not act on it at all

ieyasu: tries to make excuses to spend time with him but because seimei keeps avoiding him it always ends up being work-related (making sei tell his fortune etc)

7. nicknames

i like thinking abt seimei using the nickname boar (like he does for mitsuhide -> lazy mouse and kuzunoha -> stupid fox) but otherwise none... maybe the first time yasu tries to call him "my dear" seimei gets doman flashbacks so badly he makes yasu never do it again

8. who worries the most

yasu.. bc seimei is bad at self preservation. or at least seimei's concerns come off as more criticism than anything else

9. who remembers the other's restaurant orders

(modern au) i think seimei bc even tho he himself usually orders smth simple i think he'd be good at memorizing stuff like this (theyre like. spells)

10. who initiates kisses

i think both would but yasu a bit more often..

11. who reaches for the other's hand

yasu but i dont think they'd hold hands often bc its like useless pda in seimei's mind

12. who kisses the hardest

... kinda think seimei bc i feel like yasu would be more gentle but maybe if he was really h

13. who wakes up first

ieyasu but only bc he has a better sleeping schedule, if they slept at the same time it would be seimei

14. who wants to stay in bed longer

also yasu... referencing this

15. who leaves notes in the other's lunch

(modern au) i think yasu would be terrible at housework/cooking so it would be seimei anyway.. but i feel like it would just say smth like "dont forget to buy x" or other practical reminders

16. who tells their family/friends first

neither of them have any living family members... 💀 i think seimei would either want to hide their relationship or at least not bring it up ever bc he thinks theres no need.. i think ieyasu's retainers would know quite early and he might let it slip to the other wyrmclan leaders

17. what do their family/friends think

i think ieyasu's retainers would be concerned just bc of the whole heir thing like i think thats what anyones first thought would be.. botan probably supports it tho lol she's probably the one who told him to be a man and ask sei out in the first place

on seimei's side i think kuzu would just be really shocked "lord seimei in??? a relationship??" (<- the reaction being the main reason seimei doesnt want her to know) but she prob has no qualms about it otherwise.. i think gozu would also be happy for him bc it means hes really living (?) his life instead of feeling bound by his duties..

mitsu probably finds the whole thing very amusing bc she's like how the hell do you two find each other attractive... shingen and yoshitsune are supportive tho the latter more in a teasing kind of way

18. likely to start dancing with the other

while seimei is better at dancing i dont think he would particularly try to start dancing w a partner, i want to see yasu get excited about alberian ballroom dancing after he learns it... referring to this and this (bottom pic only)

19. better at cooking

definitely seimei just bc i think yasu cant do household chores.. but i dont think seimei would be particularly good at it hes just. capable

20. who comes up with cheesy pickup lines

yasu but theyre just like. pickup lines in poem form

21. who whispers inappropriate things at inappropriate times

HA... i would say neither but also.. can kinda imagine seimei doing it during formal gatherings to make ieyasu flustered .. i think even if yasu did it it would never be explicit even if it was whispered

22. who needs more assurance

honestly ieyasu hes so self deprecating in shingen's story i think he doubts himself a lot... seimei is always brutally honest with his opinions but i think it helps yasu that he isnt showering him with empty words

23. their theme song

i.. dont know enough songs but i did want to draw smth based on harehareya (hanyuu maigo) with them.. it feels more like sei -> yasu (unrequited) but i like certain parts of the lyrics for them a lot..

24. sing their child back to sleep

oh.. 🥺 i like to think sei likes singing at least a little bc of rikugo but i think yasu would just have a naturally nice voice.. seimei probably sings when no one else is around

25. what do they do when theyre away from each other

i think most of their time is spent away from each other even after marriage(???) they have wyrmclan duties..

26. who asks the other on dates

yasu but i think itd always be really mundane stuff

27. who is the bigger cuddler

ieyasu..

28. what does the other do when theyre sick

seimei: talks like he doesnt want to nurse him but will do all the basic stuff

ieyasu: stresses out but doesnt know what to do it doesnt help that sei insists that hes ok

29. who remembers anniversaries

i think both of them would but yasu makes a bigger deal out of it.. i think theyd only do something for like major ones tho

30. who is more possessive

ieyasu.. i think he has a bit of a messiah complex but in the sense that he often pushes for what he thinks is good for someone even if the person themselves is against it (e.g. how he distanced himself from botan thinking it would be better for her) and with seimei i think yasu views a lot of his actions and mindsets as unhealthy. especially seimei's self sacrificing tendecies when it comes to doman and the way he uses doman to push himself out of his kodoku spasms... i think in the worst case scenario it makes yasu want to become more controlling over sei and his actions bc he thinks he knows what's best for him. also tbh if your boyfriend thought of another man (doman) constantly (bc of kodoku) and you cant do anything about it (hes dead) that would make anyone more jealous/possessive fjdjgbjd

31. who gets more jealous

feel like it ties in with the above so yeah yasu

32. who is more protective

ieyasu but i think they both tend to have self-sacrificing tendencies.. i wrote a short fic abt this..

33. who dislikes pda more

definitely seimei i think hes alr bad with displays of affection but it being public is just. the worst

34. who kills the spider

i kinda feel like neither would bother?? but if its being annoying i guess seimei would blast it in flames

35. who asks the other to marry them

probably yasu bc i kinda think seimei would be satisfied w the way they are but yasu seems like the type to pursue a traditional romance/life so.. also think sei would overthink their positions too much to propose but yasu just goes for it bc while sei is the type to defy the rules yasu would just try to change them outright

36. who buys the other flowers/gifts

ieyasu but mostly because i think if seimei were to give a gift it would be. handmade or smth

37. who sleeps on the couch when the other is angry

(modern au) ieyasu LMAO kicked out of bedroom.. kinda like this ⬇️

38. who tries to make up first after arguments

ieyasu..

39. who tells the other they love them more often

also ieyasu i think he would just verbalize it a lot

[mioified]

🛁 After Shower Activities!

Kalim Al-Asim & Jamil Viper x Reader

Headcanons of them taking care(?) of you after your shower!

a/n: Need someone to blowdry my hair and care for me after i shower So bad RAHH😓 this is not proof read btw..

�� KALIM A.

★ Once you step out of the shower the first thing you'll see is.. Kalim! who was waiting very patiently for you to finish showering.. Not to be creepy or anything! He just really wants to be with you at every second!!

★ Once your out though he'd immediately ask for cuddles! And, you'd love to, really, But cuddling someone with wet hair wouldn't be the most comfortable thing now, would it? plus you'd get the bed all wet!

"Kalim.. I'd love to, but I'll need to dry my hair first."

":("

★ He pouts a little after you decline his offer, He just wants to spend time with you!!.. And then his head comes up with a brilliant idea!

★ Why doesn't he dry your hair for you?! It's a win-win for you both! He gets to finally gets to spend his long awaited time with you and you get your hair dried!

★ of course, you accept his offer, He gets out your blow-dryer and gets to work! d(^_^o)

★ Kalim isn't too experienced with a blowdryer.. He'd always leave it to air-dry or just have Jamil do it, But he's willing to do anything just for you!

★ He'll leave the blow-dryer on some parts of your scalp for too long, causing you to yelp out a little because of the uncomfortable heat, And he'd immediately panic while profusely apologizing,

★ He's probably rushing this whole process just so he can get his cuddling time with you... So you'll have to point out some of the wet places on your hair to him, If you don't you'll just be going into the bed with a head full of half wet hair, Which isn't any better than going into bed with a head full of wet hair..

★ He's trying, really! After a couple of minutes he sort of gets the hang of it. If you look at him you can see his cute focused face, doing his best to not burn you or do anything stupid

★ asks you about your day and other little things while drying your hair! He's mostly just listening though, If he let's himself get distracted you're bound to get another small burn from the dryer...

★ After he's finished and you're confident theres no wet places on your head, He'll want a reward for his efforts!! Be sure to give him a little kiss! ٩(^‿^)۶

"Okay.. Now we can cuddle!"

"YAYY!"

ಣ JAMIL V.

☆ would be the opposite of Kalim and would wait for you to invite him in after your shower, Unless you specifically told him to stay.

☆ would immediately ask if you want him to dry your hair or anything similar, He's already used to dealing with Kalim after his showers, so he really doesn't mind if he has to care for you.

"are you sure? you really don't have to-"

"I'm sure. Now, take a seat."

☆ Would give your head a sweet and short massage before pulling out your blowdryer,

☆ 10/10 experience! Jamil is very skilled at things like this after having to take care of Kalim so often, At least now his post-shower skills can now also serve helpful to another person!

☆ His hands work fast on you. Effortlessly making your hair dry in a matter of seconds, Without any burns too!

☆ He's pretty quiet throughout this whole process but if you did try to start a conversation with him he wouldn't mind! He loves talking to you! He's just a little unsure on how start a conversation with you ..

☆ he takes out a hairbrush and starts to gently brush out your hair, getting rid of any tangles and knots.

☆ Superrrr gentleeee with you! If you let out a little whimper out of pain or anything similar, He'll stop mid-brush and ask you if your okay! He'll only start brushing again after you give him the okay sign!

☆ If you have some kind of skincare routine you do after the shower Jamil would be willing to do it for you! The days he spent caring for his face to prepare for the SDC was no joke, So you can definitely rely on him!

☆ When you guys are finished he doesn't really expect anything in return. He's been doing similar things for Kalim with nothing in return for years anyway. Although, Jamil would appreciate a little thank you or a kiss..!

"Thank youuu Jamillll!! you're the best!!"

"....Mhmm.."

He's so whipped for you
