#theyre WEIRD and their life is WEIRD and they should have WEIRD HOBBIES ABOUT IT

[deepestbluesky]

shl women thought of the day: i think du pusa and qiao luohan should have like seventeen different bets and or competitions going just all the time. how many knives can they sneak into qin song’s bed before he notices. who can kill more people on their next assignment. who can drink more and stay standing on one foot. whether xie wang is going to have them go north or south next. if that guy they saw staring last night will show up at the inn again tonight and if he’ll try to flirt with du pusa or not. like just so many weird silly way to entertain themselves and compete with one another, and they’re constantly bickering about who’s winning overall and in any given challenge and no one else understands why they focus on this so hard when none of it matters.

if you struggling with low self esteem go to fire sun/earth mars/venus in angles (1h/4h/7h/10). They will cheer you up and remind you that you deserve fine things in life 💅✨🧚‍♀️ just dont fake your insecurities to them or theyll disgusted by you

speak of self esteem, someone that have their asteroid medusa (149) in your 2nd are the one that silently judge and mock you. the one that try to attack your self esteem. the one that underestimate you; and will start to think "whats cool about them?" if you get great achievement in life. EVEN think that you dont deserve that and it should be them because they think theyre way much better than you 😹😹 what a bitch. beware of them try to steal your great things as a result ‼️😒👹💥💥

asteroid nemesis (128) in house shows ab whats hurt you then you develop animosity/hatred to it, check the theme of the house

1h - hatred towards self identity, hatred towards how people see you, you can hate your looks :(

2h - hatred towards possessions. You may lacks of material possessions, feel less than others in that area and you hate it

3h - hatred towards sibling, neighbor

4h - hatred towards family

5h - hatred towards "spotlight", flings, drama, childlike spirit

6h - hatred towards coworker, health (you may feel youre less healthy than others)

7h - hatred towards partner (✋💀💀), partnership itself. you likely wanna do everything alone

8h - hatred towards mystery. you hate it when someone hides something from you, not clear ab something, keeping something from you, being secretive

9h - hatred towards um.... tw religions. sorry you probably hate particular beliefs. hatred towards travelling, inlaws are also possible

11h - hatred towards friend, hatred towards what you see on internet. can be indicator of someone that dont like to use social media, or you give hate speech/comments on social media

12h - hatred towards whats "out of reach"

cardinal moons are pure souls that surrounded by "darkness". they can easily influenced by negativity from their surrounding so they MUST, i say MUST to keep good ppl around them or....bye (aka they can turn themselves into the evil)

what's with sag venus and having interest in things that they shouldnt be interested to

taurus women have this fiery strong badass facade to them, while the men looks like cute puppy (and wise???) lmao (for sun moon mars)

mutable mercury in first decan (0°-9°) why are you like to lie for no reason. are prone to say what they dont really mean. go seek better hobbies!

some of leo sun men are gay but they hide it by having love relationship with women... that's very weird (and irritating) of you

undeveloped earth venus only falls for/want to dating popular goodlooking mf even if in personality wise theyre not that best and it can leads to unfulfilling relationship 💁‍♀️

talk ab earth venus, i see them always fall for fixed sign venus (no im not referring them fixed venus as bad one that i mentioned above)

developed earth venus? they dont need to be with someone to increase their status, they simply being the (true) great person they are 🤩 (they know how to and do get the good life by themselves!!)

what i like ab fire moon is theyre so passionate but sometimes it can be too passionate where it leads to them making unnecessary drama 😭😭

water suns are prone to being delusional 😹😹

air venus stop giving mixed signals

i cant help but think ab where sagittarius in your chart shows what's "wild", "crazy" about you. thats why pluto in sag generations being seen as scary bcs the power (pluto rules ab power) they have.... 😹😹

moon-neptune aspects 🤝 say something then regret it

libra big 6 placements 🤝 attract petty ppl (and then get attacked, being seen as bad one when they just want to defend/protect themselves :()

undeveloped fixed moon 🤝 being petty

pluto in earth house (2h/6h/10h) are the brat but loved lmao

aqua mars 🤝 makes ppl amazed

air sign jupiter give the vibes of unstoppable teenagers (in a good way). see blackpink lisa (aqua jupiter), nct jaemin (gemini jupiter), newjeans hanni (libra jupiter), or another air sign jupiter you know! 😉

saturn-sun aspect are prone to experience unexpected loss :(

there's nothing more i hate in synastry than squaring to venus aspect... bc i feel unwanted there 🧍‍♀️🪓

[reason-with-the-underdog]

highkey tho cyno & kaveh's friendship is my favorite

1) when kaveh is like "i won the interdarshan competition and all i got was massive trauma, a concussion, & this rare TCG card. hey cyno, you wanted this right?"

cyno: wait but this is rare 🥺🥺🥺 kaveh: eh i dont need it and then cyno is like "yo. srs tho. ARE YOU OK?? i will help you"

LIKE SWEETIE.... and then him giving kaveh mora which kaveh immediately spends on a fancy meal out for the family

at this point cyno doesn't know about kaveh's bankruptcy and tbh im not sure he ever finds out?

2) THE POST-COMPETITION MEAL WHERE EVERYONE JUST MAKES FUN OF KAVEH FOR TALKING ABOUT ALHAITHAM SO MUCH....

kaveh & cyno are both so earnest like neither of them should be sarcastic they're not good at it 😭😭😭

KAVEH GENUINELY THOUGHT CYNO WAS WARNING HIM ABOUT ALHAITHAM'S PRESENCE

anyways kaveh in his voiceline about cyno says that he needs a beer before cyno's jokes but that means he DOES like them sometimes

3) the fact that cyno had a bad impression of alhaitham pre-AQ bc he only knew of alhaitham from hearing kaveh rant to tighnari & collei about his insufferable roommate (& maybe seeing their message board debates)

& being the sweetheart that he is, he's going into this thinking

"that's him. that's the man who stole the show from my carefully planned jokes at dinner the other night by being terribly annoying to kaveh. apparently he doesn't put away his books??? which is a serious trip hazard actually. i'm on my guard 👁️👁️"

and then in classic alhaitham fashion, alhaitham makes a horrid first impression (he would rather make zero impression at all, thank you)

like of course cyno & alhaitham are naturally suspicious of each other bc of their akademiya affiliations but like STILL

it brings me much joy to know that before they became genuine friends (going from "nodding at each other in passing on the street" to "we always go to the tavern to celebrate" 🥺)...

cyno was primed to dislike alhaitham bc "you seem to upset kaveh??? so i dont think i like you"

i think cyno listened to kaveh rant about alhaitham's latest injustices (he took kaveh's favorite house slippers) and took them very seriously

look at how upset kaveh is when recounting them!! clearly kaveh is truly upset & this alhaitham fellow must be a real problem

like at that point i dont think kaveh & cyno were all that close? they met through tighnari but kaveh was pretty busy before finishing the palace & afterwards he managed to keep his bankruptcy a secret from cyno

but still cyno was already kinda protective of kaveh & his feelings

4) basically i think its amazing that if you cross kaveh, not only do you have kaveh's temper to worry about

..but also you have the legendarily scary & imposing general mahamatra himself on your tail... (+ the grand scribe & the general watchleader & lambad & half of sumeru city)

5) tl;dr is kaveh & cyno are both extremely earnest people who are very intense about their chosen professions and have very strong hyperfixes/hobbies

which can lead to miscommunication bc they take each other too srsly and then have to backpedal/explain BUT STILL THEYRE SO GOOD!!!

& i love that there's no judgement from each other

kaveh isn't all "wow cyno's love for tcg is so weird/too nerdy" instead he says "oh i got the prize my friend wanted, lets give it to him free"

while cyno's just like "ok kaveh your life is a mess but its a life you chose so 👍"

[banamine-bananime]

AITA for trying to save my friend and keep the rest of my asshole friends safe from their bad decisions?

I (M26) just went through this real shitty breakup. So basically, my ex C (M lmao man fuck if i know his age idek if knows it. or has one i guess) has this god-fucking-awful habit of deciding to solve every problem by dying about it and/or fucking off without so much as a word to the people unfortunate enough to give a shit about him, except maybe his sister (unhelpful for the rest of us because she also inherited the "fucking off without a word" gene. man fuck this whole family for making me care about them. whatever). Also, killing himself inside peoples brains thats like a whole hobby for him. like okay either ghost us OR kill yourself in front of us altering the trajectory of our lives forever PICK ONE like a NORMAL person.

Okay wait im not explaining this well. So years ago C and W (M37 now) were partners but C was, uh, in a really bad place mentally (S is telling me this is more diplomatic to say than "crazy af") and that situationship ended as badly as a situationship can end. I mean W's told me he pretty much had his sense of identity as someone separate from C totally destroyed by that for a while, which like, in hindsight its kinda an accidental dick move that our team made him take C's legal identity, but in our defense a) the fuck were we supposed to know?, b) tbf he really did need it not to go back to prison, c) it's not like C was using his identity, on account of the fucking off and effectively-dying-as-a-solution habits, and d) i mean. i gotta admit it's also pretty funny in a really fucked way.

aw shit derailed on a tangent again

recently its just like, we just get so focused on one thing its hard to remember anything else, you know?

S is so good at getting us back on track though. thank god because you would not believe the number of irons weve got in the fire to keep track of, its ridiculous. (i love making my partner be the planner in the relationship lol. highly recommend being a passenger princess in the body sometimes. fuck massages, i'm telling you THIS is what you need after a long day getting shit DONE and taking care of everyone else's messes)

So I met C 6 years ago, right out of basic, when we were privates stationed at the same base. middle of nowhere. shit, this is gonna be hard to explain, just realized i should use different names for C to keep them straight. I knew "A" and W knew "E", i didnt meet E until years later. theyre alters and also the same guy but also not the same guy. dont worry about it if you dont get it bc ive dated both of them and i dont think i do. my life is stupid.

Bunch of bullshit happened, A ghosted (lol. you'd be high-fiving me if you knew him) and then found a problem to solve by dying. you get it by now.

Then i meet E, E encounters a problem and tries to die about it round one (i guess round two, after exploding in W <- LOL. you should be high-fiving me right now), E's sister drags him back to the land of the living, E ghosts, W and i start dating, W tries to martyr himself and disappears because i guess E rubbed off on him (dude i am on a fucking roll. you should be high-fiving me out of pity for my glamorously miserable soap-opera life if nothing else. homophobic not to), our team gets W back, E strolls back like he has no idea why im mad at him, we fight about it, makeup-makeouts about it, and E tries to die about it round two: in my brain boogaloo.

So thats how S and i meet. oops, guess i never introduced S? Feels weird to have to introduce ourself twice, people dont really meet us separately anymore LOL. S (M, ageless) is also C's alter, my partner in life and badassery and brain and body. and obviously freaky sex stuff, that goes without saying but i'm saying it anyway to brag. the swish swish to my stabbing people who really deserve it. Not really interested in your opinion on our relationship, it's not what i'm asking about. we're aware its not conventional, because we're not fucking braindead. Im so sick of all the "oooohhhhh this isn't healthy", "he's a male manipulator and youre codependent i know bc i learned psychology from tiktoks by girls with green hair", "why are you wearing your ex-boyfriend's armor colors while wearing his dead ex-boyfriend's armor while dating and sharing a brain with your dead mutual ex's alter", "have you considered going to therapy instead of a quest against death itself" blah blah blah. If youre so bored you need to judge our life then just get your own 🙄🙄🙄

we've been really on that sigma grindset the last few weeks. S has got our sleep optimized down to a tight triphasic 3.46 hours and we're minmaxing the fuck out of the rest of every day. Biohacked to shit over here. too much to do, so we have to make there be enough of our time to do it. who else is gonna? my teammates? the REDS? we're half batman half babysitter to a gaggle of idiots who can barely be trusted to wipe their own asses, let alone fight their own battles and make decisions like "wah wah wah A is dead let's just give up and cry about it or whatever".

Don't even get me started on W. Oh youre all about character-building wake up and grind self-improvement and taking leadership until we're making decisions you dont like, i guess. WHATEVER. this is why we dont listen to you.

its hard, okay. like, you cant understand the sheer fucking stress were under trying to keep all our plans going smoothly while keeping these guys safe while they're basically actively trying to unravel every carefully-laid thread and also strangle themselves in them. im probably going prematurely grey and also losing some time. its hard to remember when we need to hold back and use the kiddy gloves. i really didnt want to come to holding - uh, we'll call him MC (M25) - by the throat, passed-out. he's like a brother to me, been through thick and fucking thin together, so yeah, i feel really bad about that, my bad, we were the asshole there, but like, maybe stop throwing yourself in the way? like run out into the road you're gonna get hit by a truck no matter how hard they slam the brakes. mfw the conses quence. but im NOT asking about that. everyone's been on our dick about "please god stop doing all of this" and abandoning A and trying to break us up way before that, and THAT'S what im asking about

Anyways tl;dr are we the asshole for getting shit done when it takes methods that all our monday morning quarterback friends dont like

_____

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:

it really was a dick move to dangle my teammate's limp body in a chokehold even though it was basically an accident and also not even directly relevant to the question

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might not be the asshole:

okay but we're right

[crushedsweets]

Do you have any hcs for how Clockwork and Jeff would act around each other?

yes!! ok so i think i covered their relationship a good bit on my blog (should be in my masterlist on my pinned post), but i can try to scramble more concepts rn

ok for starters theyre really mean. like 'why are you happy you look fucking ugly smiling like that' completely unwarranted. but its very much like older sibling taunting, but theyre both fighting for role of the older sibling LMAO

i can imagine nights of them at the barn, one of them sick to their stomach from the operator(or the various other infections and illnesses theyd collect) and way too ill to do anything. jeff is partial to bringing clocky a joint to ease the pain, clocky is partial to bringing jeff actual food/water to ease his. theyre def not the type to be affectionate or whatever but jeff would scramble to grab clockys long long hair if he realizes shes abt to throw up. then he'd be like 'jesus christ thats nasty'

theyll sit with an ipod or smth and go through a lot of music together too . . . just a lot of "figured youd like this song" or bringing eachother a CD they found and showing it off.

i could see clocky incorrectly thinking toby and jeff would get along, cuz theyre honestly pretty similar. so she'd get them to connect, and then it would go poorly. i think jeff and toby would TRY to kinda hide their distaste for eachother... sorta

like, toby would just be like 'hes fuckin weird' and jeff would be like 'why do you hang around such a loser' but they wouldnt be like "clocky if you so much as mention his name around me im going to go kill him" . until the nina situation unravels, in which case clockys distancing from jeff anyway

i think jeff and clocky would have a lot of convos about like...

theyre really in similar boats. both got infected with O/S syndrome, both slaughtered so many people under the effect, both feel the symptoms/trauma to this day - but they went down different paths. upon recovering from it, clocky made a life for herself, got a job, hobbies, friends, an apartment. jeff just...kept up with the violence and power trips. lives in an abandoned barn, only friends with a freak ghost kid, etc.

clocky isnt the type to beg but when she sees him years down the line, withering away, becoming worse and worse when she tried so hard to get better and encourage HIM to get better too . i could imagine some tears and pleading there. i dunno . he's kind of a lost cause, though

[eyedrateanatomy]

going off anon. rubs my forehead nervously. this is candybats to me sometimes. theyre weird and silly and Dumb

s "i could make a giant creature under my control. i dont know if itd be organic, maybe, but id have to upgrade my Secret office"

k "SECRET?"

s "yes, no ones allowed. not even my ma and pa. i might make it non-organic. but, think about it. i could terroize the world, i could try and scavenge around over the years for a strong metal, something that doesnt fold easily under weapons.. i have to start a new project."

k "..please dont start world domination?"

s "what? no, never. hah, i was almost to the point once, but not yet. im not the most ambitious"

k "you created a portal that summons edible, nutritious goop. you literally INVENTED that."

s "okay, but thats not comparable. i promise, schnucki, you wont see any weird evil things from me"

k "YOU SAID YOU CONSIDERED WORLD DOMINATION!??^?:?:"

s "key word, *clicks tongue* considered."

k "*worried face* okay then."

streber fucking. clicking his tongue of Couuurse he would. but this is all so true. i think i really love the idea of streber having the potential to be a genius supervillain who can make portals and invent a new color, but he chooses to spend his time on really small insignificant stuff like programming a toaster to sass you whenever you want to toast something for under a minute. ok rambling time

streber could build an actual teleporter. he could pull some willy wonka shit and be able to teleport objects and change their mass and shape, and change society as we know it. but just like wonka he will only make this so that whenever he gets cravings he just makes his dessert Really small and it wont ruin his diet. and he'll show it to his friends and theyll think hes so cool and awesome and etc etc

as for candybats, i think kevin is always getting the hint that streber Does want world domination. he wants total control over everyone and everything and hes only getting close to kevin so he can put a brainwashing helmet on him and make him do his evil bidding. the plot twist is that streber only wants world domination so he can help his friends and mind control kevin into finally doing the dishes

and kevin is just a big,,, dumdum. he doesnt understand math. he doesnt have hobbies. hes a college dropout. so hed take the time to go to strebs house and see what hes doing and get himself invested in it. and streber is Such an extrovert and is always glad to explain what hes Cooking Up. or kevin will just be his test subject

theyd be really funny together like kevin just wants to Chill Out and streber always wants to do Something. cat vs dog. but when it comes to really mundane things theyre somehow always on the same wavelength, like theyre counting up all their coupons from the store to save as much money as possible, or theyre creating pathways from their door to their bed because neither of them can clean up after themselves, or theyre booing and yelling at serial killers in movies to get a job to cope with their own encounters with one

also i think streber should trust kevin with the keys to his Secret Office and even let him in. strebers saying "trusty comrade and handsome boyfriend kevin, do you promise to guard this door with your LIFE while i run outside to get the mail." and kevin is saluting going "Sir. i would kill a man just so no one gets past this door." in the most monotone voice ever even though he is being Completely genuine

Nothing is canon in hetalia so I’m making my own list of headcanons regarding worldbuilding and al that whimsical stuff

I should probably mention this is inspired by THE worldbuilding hc post, I reblog it all the time but just in case you haven’t read it (how could you), you can do that here

Oh also umm all of these are both serious and not. Take them all with a grain of salt as they say. Im just having fun

I think thats it… lets go

Their body temperature depends on their climate. Sort of. Technically they all have a normal body temp, but you know how some people are always cold? In that way.

I think it’s canon actually that climates influence the general character of a personifications… although romano exists… so maybe not…. Not sure about that one.

They don’t get sick, in fact I hc they CANT get sick with normal human diseases. Their well being depends on the state of their people/the country. They get „sick” from wars, rebellions, econimic issues etc.

They can’t reproduce. Except for the times they can. Because egypt.

They exist as long as people feel connected to the idea of a „nation” or otherwise feel connected to that identity. Even if they „die”, as long as there are people who consider themselves a certain nationality, they can come back to life.

I’m partial to the idea of some of them appearing just because they were created artificially… like brčko. I will never actually talk more about her all you get is cryptic little puzzle pieces of info about her. Anyways she magically appeared when some documents were signed because funny

I’m unsure what happens when a nation is wiped out. Like when every person who was once a part of that nation either dies or stops identifying with it… maybe they get sick and die but maybe instead they turn into a human and slowly age, then die as the last person of that nationality….

They need to eat sleep etc but can go without doing any of that for longer periods of time than normal humans

They have hobbies and interests and can love humans but have no ambition or desire to live. Not even an animal like urge to live to pass something on. Because they really can’t. They exist to live and to vibe only. And despite no aspiration to live they will beg for mercy if you put a knife to their throat…. Hah… thats so weird

Immensly calming aura to normal people. Probably works better on people of their own nationality, they bring a sort of inspirational energy to the room. I feel as thought they inspired poets and artists, and all those works dedicated to the idea of a nation were actually about a being…

Despite being able to die (technically, even if not permanently) it takes them hundreds of years to understand the concept of death.

Same with aging, it makes no sense how a human deteriorates in, say, 60 years. How little that is, compared to their own age.

Wait, I have a comic I like that describes this well - here

Theyre not inherently violent. At least not most of them. Their wants don’t always align with what the people want but what can they do other than oblige. Yea

Not that important but they can totally have altered states. Half of them are high 24/7

Mentioned it before but they get, or at least most of them used to - get attached to their leaders. It wears off the older they get because they simply get used to the fact they change so often, at least from their perspective

Most of them are pretty open with the fact theyre not humans. If you ask them i image most would just go haha yea thats me I’m 6969 years old lol

I’m very much aware that the rule which i think is canon based on one ep…. That pgysica age related to land mass, is stupid bullshit and generally doesn’t apply in half the cases. And therefore I’ll say to me, I just accept whatever canon physical age you want to give to a character. Whatever reason you want for it is acceptable too.

Thats it for now :PP

live a life outside of tumblr (read books, watch netflix, dance, go stan nct)

im not saying this to be mean or anything like that but

some of yall really need to have interests outside of LOA and tumblr

this should be a hobby not a fully dedicated life interest (not LOA, im talking about running a blog)

bc when someone is so focused on one thing that, in the grand scheme of things is irrelevant UNLESS (but even so) running a successful blog is in your dream life, you become weird anons who dedicate their time trying to create drama in a community

or you become weird bloggers who base their entire self worth on how well theyre being received by the community and therefore, even orchestrate lies to maintain the perfect self-image 

i mean this is becoming an echo chamber of drama that no one cares except you .this goes to the anons, esp the ones who asked if 2 bloggers were having a fight because of some LOA challenges?? like do u hear urself? are you that stuck in this online bubble that you think people would actually be concerned whether someone is doing another void challenge in LOA?

sending hate, putting bloggers against each other etc that is indicative of a self-harming lifestyle since if youre hurting or having troubles in friendships, others must do too

it’s pathetic and it’s sad and i feel bad for you. 

no wonder i left tumblr. i miss all you wonderful people on here and i hope the drama doesnt affect you greatly (especially the 2 bloggers mainly targeted by this). remember to persist!!! live ur dream lives and FUCK tumblr drama my god i cant believe ive just said the phrase tumblr drama

[femboty2k]

is it weird to feel like you're living in the corpse of the world you grew up in? I know nostalgia is a slow and insidious killer if left unchecked, but just, let me try and describe this. I was born in 1998, I grew up through the 2000s and 2010s, particularly in the tech/video game spaces (go figure) and it feels like everything I used to know is just, dead now. My life used to be filled with how wondrous and new technology could be. Things had weight and worked with all sorts of wires and metal parts. Even the cheap things still felt like they were a part of it. It really felt like you were a part of something special when your hobby was computers. But I don't know about now. I don't just want to be sad about it all the time. I know that in the right places those bustling tech avenues from a time when the web was a place and not a monolith, and computers were appliances and not our entire lives, I know those still exist. But theyre so tucked away. So hidden under mountains of consumerist trash full of bad plastic and bad user design and no user fixability and just, I don't know. All the hobby shops had to close, or raise their prices so high they might has well have. All the old video games are owned by youtubers and techies that rip the consoles apart to make ANOTHER backlit LED button gameboy advanced that they dont play. The world I knew so fondly has been hollowed out and is now worn by black suits and minimalistic white and grey squares with rounded edges. I just, get sad sometimes. I feel like I was too young to have truly been a part of it, but I might also be too old to try and get into it now. Or at least too poor. I miss it. I miss those off whites and beiges, compressed audtio 480p video please insert disc 2 "why did the developers spend so much time on the UI and menus". I miss it so much sometimes. Everything feels the same now. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe I should get into linux or something. I don't know.

[teethcritter]

If you don't mind may I ask about Penny and her younger brother; personality, hobbies, relationship with parents, etc. They have fun designs and I'm curious. (PS. I like Penny's new design, it's weird but in a good fun way, also I'm assuming they were both made via ectobiology of some sort, is that correct?)

sure! yes they were both made with ectobiology as june and vriska r both trans so . not possible

fun rambles under cut!!

penny is a sweetheart and the witch of light !! she inherited vriskas luck ::) as a kid she excelled in school to the point where she was able to move up a grade. so shes extremely smart and she likes sports she pROBABLY plays soccer. me and my girlfriend havent really gone into the specifics of what sport she plays yet but. probably soccer.

her childhood best friend is rose and kanaya's son (yarrow) whos 4 years older than penny and kind of drags her into some shit when shes in highschool. yarrows in college by that point so he pretty frequently sneaks her into parties and stuff and she becomes veryyy popular bc of the new attention . regina george/heather chandler-y

Her little brother is Lowel whos the mage of void! he partially inherited vriskas mind control but not to the same extent. he finds it much easier to control bees so thats. usually what he does. and birds. hes kind of a problem but its not his fault </3 as the mage of void hes haunted by what he should not know . so that can only go so well

^ thats his friend ignore her

tormented in his dreams ^

as for hobbies he likes baking quite a lot ! he takes after jane in that aspect:) he helps (does all the work) for sollux's beekeeping as welll he rlly likes animals and spends a lot of time with them for funsies . hes probably a good artist ? havent gone into that much but he seems like the artist type

hes always been MUCH more reserved and quiet than penny and only uses a typing quirk with people he doesnt trust as much .

...he types like this when he doesnt know someone...

hes slow to warm up to people but truly has a heart of gold when he does. when he was a kid he latched onto sollux VERY hard which turned out very awkward for him and vriska bc . well. theyre not on speaking terms. this kinda forces them to be a little bit?? but . its still hard.

he and penny are very close and shes the one who convinces him to talk to their parents about his weird dreams with his weird grandmother who tells him weird things about his mom

( as dream bubbles arent linear, lowel is able to dream abt things that happened decades ago IE aranea )

side note abt vriska .she has a really big character arc . but a slow and realistic one . the healing and recovering takes a long time and lots of people never forgive her or talk to her again bc frankly she doesnt deserve it . shes been given a second chance that she didnt want and her friends convinced her to take it and turn her life around. and she did:)

k havin some trouble keeping out of The Ennui this past while and i realized i had 7 core values listed on my blog (listed on the little explore thing on my desktop theme as "live life on purpose • step off the path of least resistance • take care of myself • contribute to the community • get things done • always learn • appreciate beauty") sooo score thats a weekly challenge right there.

im just gonna start tomorrow (its the night of the 5th as i post this) since im lucky and my week isnt bounded by things like "weekdays". lets do them in order!

6. Tue - live life on purpose: to keep myself mindful I'm going to write down what I've done after every half hour of my day, plus im gonna plan out a couple things at certain points of the day and attempt to stick to those plans 7. Wed - dont get dragged back into my comfort zone: i do have a dentist appointment that day, but im going to also go to the library while im out, which ive been trying to do for a while but just never felt right. im going to wear a cute but maybe a bit weird outfit, and whenever i have an urge to do something (i should go read, i should cut up and eat an apple), im going to do it instead of succumbing to the Nah. ...also this isnt relevant to the daily challenge but i do need to pick up a prescription so im going to try to remember that 8. Thur - take care of myself: im going to try to do all of my self-care habits ive set up. most of them i do once in a while, but i havent managed to do all of them at once in a few weeks. so that means doing my workout, brushing my teeth, turning my phone off at 1 and reading instead for bedtime, making sure my laundry is put away... etc. this one's only a small part of the day but i guess that means its a good chance to rest lol 9. Fri - help others: its a terrible time of year to do things like volunteering, plus short notice, so im going to focus on chores around the house and donations and home political action, that sort of thing. maybe text my siblings to find out how theyre doing. 10. Sat - get shit done: i mean what else is there to say. at the beginning of my day im going to write down a list of things to get done (attempting to include things that are low on my priority list so just keep repeatedly getting pushed back, like calling my grandpa and working on a video edit) and see how much of it i can do. the slogan for the day is gonna be "if i think to myself 'yknow i could go do this thing' i fucking will" 11. Sun - learn: hopefully the rest of the week will have caught me up on my accounting course, but if not, id like to do that. after that, though, id like to set aside some time to read articles on things i care about but dont know much about, and do a lesson or two of language learning or coding or something. learning at my own pace isnt going very well so far considering "my own pace" is ✨stagnancy✨ 12. Mon - appreciate the world: not much else to note other than looking around myself more often. im pretty good at this one already. lets use it to mean "do hobbies"-- take an hour to do some writing, take an hour to do some music, drink a tea ive been keeping aside for a special occasion, idk

and i will let you know how that goes :)

[mabeysomeclasspecting]

You're still doing requests? Awesome! Can you classpect mine 🥺 no need to rush with it ofc, pace yourself! Uhh, lets see.

1. What are your interests/hobbies?

i have a lot of interests but if i have to put a pin on them, its always about exploring something new. watching a mysterious internet arg, writing down worldbuilding ideas, getting myself lost because my hometown start to get too samey, exploring abandoned buildings, and watching plays and backyard gigs. which is ironic because i live in a small-ish town, there is not much excitement or exploration to be done in here, but i make do. other interests of mine would be music. i like music that are weird, distorted, and just off. i love it when the rhythm is a discordant mess. however, just because i seem to go out a lot doesnt mean im the social type. i mean, i try to be, i kinda have to get used to keeping secrets and doing things all alone to get some freedom / agency in life.

2. How Do You See Yourself?

Honestly it depends on which character i latched on to that week. I dont really care for having an internal self. Whatever serves what i want best is my current self. But, turns out im not that good as a social chameleon. So, one thing I can recognize about myself is i don't quit and give up on things even when I should. When I want things, I might not be very motivated to get it, but I'll always work on it no matter how long it takes or how many times it has failed. Oftentimes I worry that im too slow and that no matter how much patience and devotion i have to my wants, I just dont have enough energy to actually get it. Or i'll end up ruining myself in the process.

3. How do you think others see you

Unforgettable. Striking. strange and offputting. Acquaintaces say im okay but a little aloof/strange. My family say i work hard but i have no sense of self preservation, tbh i think theyre biased. My friends think im smart and a little impressive. But closest besties, despite my best efforts, see that i used to be super sheltered and inexperienced in social settings. its terrible!

4. How do you interact with your friends?

Hm, depends on what kind of friends. if theyre the hangout friend, i'll just sit back and occasionally make them laugh with my dumb antics and give out some trivias to make things fun and easy. If theyre the deep conversation friend, i would try to impress them with how much i know. its overcompensating i know.

Its not all roses with me though. Some of my friends did say i can be unsympathetic to their problems. which is surprising to them because they thought im nice. i didnt mean it, i guess i just dont get why people just lament instead of finding a solution. its so... helpless. i dont want to be my younger self who let himself get trapped in his own house and miss out on so much life because theyre too afraid to act. so why people do nothing but feel sad when awful things happen is beyond me. And that comes out harsh when people are used to my lighthearted, easygoing self.

5. What's Important To You

I need to feel good about myself. And that's very much reliant on me working for my dreams. Not some escapism or fantasy. I also want change, a kinder world, justice. I want everyone to get whats been stolen from them. However, I spent so much time and wasted so many opportunities because of that dream, it almost feel like its holding me back from permanently feeling good for myself. but when i think about it, im not angry or disappointed. I like to see the silver lining in everything i guess. but there's limits to this. Yknow the phrase "fighting the good fight?" i think, its not enough to fight, you have to win, no matter how many rules you break or how many things become collateral damage. doesnt matter if youre in the right side of history or how many times you prove bigots wrong if you keep losing and dying. and thats a matter of action and bravery, not morals.

6. Describe the ideal you, what kind of person do you strive to be?

Impressive. Capable and competent at everything. Scares people but in a good way. Get shit done. Have sick-ass tattoos, have lots of friends, Can be relied on for everything. And have traveled to so many places and get so many extraordinary experiences.

(note : i wanted to send you an ask a few months ago, but there was a sudden blackout in my area right after i hit send. pretty sure its gone to the void! but just to make sure, if you see an ask thats similar in content to this (i remember saying i like internet horror, args, music, and urban exploration!) its probably mine! you dont have to answer that)

and my signoff emojis : 🫧🌪️

Hello! I definitely think that ask got lost, but I'm happy to classpect you now :)

Aspects: Breath, Heart, Time

Classes: Prince, Thief, Maid

You seem like a solid Prince of Breath to me! I feel pretty certain, but play around with those other ones if that doesn't feel right

Hope this helps!

my skepticism mostly comes from the way i've had to deal with so many guys and women thinking that lesbian just means "bisexual" now because there's a real excess of bi women saying they're "lesbians" and then still shagging men all over the place. or bi women who say they're lesbians, and then find a guy they love, and get with him and then pretend he's their "exception" and don't even re-identify. (1/2)

i got u in the first part but u kinda lost me at the second half 💀 women who get with men and argue the man is their exception & theyre still lesbians somehow are bi with a preference, and are lesbophobic at that. women that call themselves lesbians but sleep around with men, i need more specific instances but from what ive seen the vast majority if not all are bisexual (truly what would compel an out lesbian to seek out men to have sex with??? it’s unpleasant and traumatic for a lesbian, so unless she’s trying to harm herself or has 0 self-respect, she’s acting out on some form of attraction).

now when u say “women who do NOT consensually sleep with men”— are you referring to sexual history or like the aforementioned situations where women will sleep with men but argue they’re lesbians regardless? and when you say consensually- where is the line? is it simply saying yes regardless of circumstances? is it enthusiastic consent specifically?

also lesbian never referred to someone’s sex acts but about someone’s attraction. before the term lesbian, we were called “inverts”. the theory was that “inverts” (homosexuals) are men trapped in women’s bodies, or women trapped in men’s bodies. the definition of an invert was “sexual instinct turned by inborn constitutional abnormality towards persons of the same sex”; nothing about sexual history but rather attraction and sexual inclinations. lesbian when coined meant also, a female homosexual. nothing in either definition placed emphasis on sexual history either, if a woman is exclusively attracted to women, she’s a lesbian or an invert or a homosexual or whatever term was currently being used. the general understanding was ofc that lesbians would not want to be with men, are not into men, and love women exclusively.

also i disagree that the women attracted to men even if very little yet call themselves lesbians arent bad for it 😭. either way my post was not about being wary of bi women intentionally mislabelling themselves as lesbians, it’s about this weird culture at least online of like hyperanalysing every lesbian to the point where your beliefs, your history, your politics, your hobbies, etc are all used to determine if you’re a Real Lesbian or not. statistically speaking there’s a good number of women who call themselves lesbians that simply aren’t:

and i think we should focus on that instead of hyperanalysing how some lesbian rape victim must be lying bc “no rape victim would describe it like that!!” “no rape victim would’ve acted this way!!” or hyperanalysing how if a lesbian has some kind of history with a man, no matter how unwanted, no matter her situation back then, no matter anything else, she’s actually suddenly bisexual despite never having been attracted to a man in her life.

Huge babble that makes no sense on this kinda related topic

As a fucking adult, looking at you other adults, please talk to kids. Kids are starved for adult attention that arent their parents. Now, Im not talking about weird shit, or friend shit. Kids are starved for MENTORS. People to confide in and get advice from. People to look up to in hobbies and fields they want to go into. People who they can show off to, prove themselves to and get the approval of. Someone to encourage that little bit inside of them that says "this is it, I want to do this." I mean, all I have to do is just listen, treat their thoughts and concerns seriously and, well, thats it.

THATS FUCKING SAD. I SHOULD NOT become a main stone in a childs life because I treat them like a human and show genuine interests in their lives and passions. I SHOULD NOT have kids that adore me because I treat them with respect. The fact that it's like that genuinely pisses me off, tbfh. Hell, I just do fish shit. Thats all I do, really. I make cool aquariums, post them on reddit, and moderate a few fish subs. Because of that I have 5 fucking kids that randomly attached themselves to me because they see me as a person they can learn shit from and confide in, mainly the confiding tbfh! My whole role with these little humans is a vaguely maternal/paternal figure (maternal instincts go burr) that lets them vent about their problems, gives healthy solutions, and sometimes to tell them that they fucked up/what happened to them was messed up. Some of the shit these kids parents do is fucked up, and many of these kids are so starved for positive attention/interaction they'll take it from anyone. Which brings in predators! If its so easy for ME, someone who DOES NOT seek out children, to not only talk with kids but gain their trust because I simply treat them like a person, how easy must it be for pedos. If all I have to do is listen, and give feedback that isnt noncommittal, how easy would it be for a pedo. How much easier must it be when those children are then isolated from most adults, so they can never have the chance to talk about their predator. Just with what i'm doing I managed to protect 2 kids from online pedos. 2 out of 5! Thats a lot! We all know how prominent pedos are online. Hell, just on the fish keeping discord one of my friends owns we had 3 cases of pedos predating on the kids in the community in 1 year. 3! In a fish keeping server! Because, to be completely fucking frank, there are kids LIKE that predator at the time when its online. Like, its fucking traumatic, but most dont realize it is traumatic until later. But like, that's when theyre out of that fucky wucky shituation. They may feel a bit fucky wucky about it from time to time while in that toxic shituation, but theyre getting an influx of positive adult attention they rarely get otherwise. Like yeah, they have their parents, maybe aunts and uncles (But, especially for kids that move a lot, highly unlikely) and they have teachers. But how many kids will talk about relationships or "taboo topics" like talking about who they like, or their fledging politics with their parents/teachers/uncles or aunts. Especially if theyre in abusive situations! Im not JUST talking abuse thats bad enough for CPS to get into either, how many kids get ground down and belittled by the adults in their lives constantly, to the point they WONT talk with authority figures about sensitive topics.

Child abuse is a big problem, so it's important that we don't let children communicate with adults except their parents and other official authority figures. Everyone knows the best way to prevent child abuse is to keep children isolated and ensure all their communications are controlled.

hey chat do you ever just realize its actually possible to do stuff that isnt like, what you already typically do? like im not limited to being what i currently am wild but uh. yea, its weird lol. to remember how much there is to potentially do but uh, BIG VENT TIME

ive often felt that its hard to Care about trying certain new things but i think its less that i dont care and more that i find immense contentness in going through the motions of what i already do in life, and i. while i love the idea of doing more things, im... afraid of change? i mean okay, i love change. as in, when videogames change things out of nowhere. but... i have a weird relationship with it. my moms always said im so afraid of change and im like ehh im not thaat afraid of change but changing up what i consistently do? yeah i think thats like... definitely true i used to not spend that much time with my cats, but i WANTED to spend time with them. i just... thought about it, and it almost felt like not caring. but it was moreso just that it wasnt part of my like, schedule. part of something that i typically do it wasnt carefully planned. it was out of my comfort zone. it mm, i just wish i could- no, i mean. i DO care about things. i do care about more things its just, that i feel as if i dont care about certain new hobbies and such because they seem like.. scary. or like "eh, im doing good enough. i dont need to push to go further" despite how many lessons i hear in every media ever about how you should push yourself to your fullest potential, and experience the world, and ... do more than just accept the minimum comfort zone !! that you should strive for more than just Yeah good enough but mm, is it worth it? to change things up? im good at what i do.. i think. but id be good at other things, too. if i just gave them an honest try...

just . realizing and remembering you have the freedom to do whatever you want and that everything is at your fingertips and. if you have the stability and life situation to allow it, then you can really do anything. its wild but ...can i get myself to care enough? its weird, ig i gotta push myself to do things that i dont care about, until i suddenly really care about them

man i really wanna do writing and programming more. theyre fun. but theyre also new things and ive convinced myself im some circus animal who is unable to be motivated or train myself and practice and effort and yadda yadda woe is me

are "head canons" (for lack of a better word) okay if they're 100% private (including actions towards the person)? /gen

as always when i get these kind of asks i want to just say this is probably a question you're better off asking yourself, not me. at the end of the day you don't need to just blindly follow advice from internet strangers i just think more people should Think about the unforeseen consequences of their own behavior more rather than fall into categorizing behavior as 'okay' or 'not okay' based on the opinions of a stranger. i have no moral authority over anyone, i am just not shy about saying what i think.

but as for my opinion on this subject, i'm not entirely sure what you're asking to be honest? i'm not sure how 'actions towards a person' can be private? unless theyre like, someone you're personally hanging out with, in which case, i'm sure they've agreed to be in this situation?

in general, i think you're allowed to do pretty much whatever you want if you do it privately. like if for some incomprehensible reason you feel like imagining your favorite youtuber is bipolar and transgender or something in your spare time as a hobby, if you're not posting a ton of shit about it online for people to see it lacks the capacity to have any effect on anything at all. i think it's a super weird thing to want and i think you should probably examine why imagining stuff about a real person's life holds so much appeal to you. but i dont think its harmful
