#too lazy to tag everyone its 1am

[angerybabydino]

I have successfully converted all of my two friends into AA lovers and I couldn't be happier. One was just because she likes puzzles and crime-related things. The other was because I talked about how fucking gay these games are. But I'm also doing some ✨experimenting✨ too. My one friend, she's played/watched AA1, 2, 3, AAI1, a bit of 4, 3 cases of AAI2, and almost done the fourth case of DGS1. The other, they just started DGS1 tonight as their first AA game. As an English major who reads into all the symbolism and foreshadowing the games give, I want to see how much my friend can pick up from the lineages when they get to mainline games since we're playing the English versions (so no easy Naruhodou cop out). Because I see so much of their descendants in them when it comes to their animations, not just their appearances (chronic sweats for the Naruhodous, arms crossed and finger to the temple thinking for Kazuma/Miles, too many mannerisms but Susato and all of the Fey girls, over dramatics with van Zieks/von Karma) and I wonder if it'll give away some of the story, specifically JfA.

rv: entirely self-indulgent. this is my routine at nightㄟ(￣▽￣ㄟ) plus, i first wrote this at 1am hehehe. also, if you guys want a song inspo listen to dreamy night by lilypichu it fits this fic so well!! also, thank you so much for supporting me all throughout my fluffvember! aaa i’m never doing anything like this again but instead maybe an event that posts every atleast 2 days?? heheh. i may have grew exhausted at least more than once but this was fun! please do look forward to my future events~ i love you all~ although speaking of kenma i’ll have an smau for him comin up!

✒︎ unspoken rule

kenma was sleeping when he heard the muffled noises that eventually became the cause of his consciousness, pulling him into the wake world with his eyes landing on you, your phone held up to your face as the light from the gadget reflected on your irises; eyes wide open, indicating that you have been focusing on whatever you were doing on the screen.

obviously from the sounds though, kenma could rule out that you were playing your favorite game—mobile legends, probably. he wasn't much of a fan of that game since he knows and likes the others more, but since it was the only game you and him mutually could play, he frequently lets you indulge him to play with you. he also knows that the only reason you might be playing as of the moment is because you couldn't sleep, just like usual.

however, his eyes were already giving up and he let the sounds from your game lull him again to sleep, pulling him in the dream world where his unconsciousness settles him in and tucks him in a fantasy that he might not even remember the moment he opens his eyes.

it was 1AM when he was awoken again, which was unlikely of him since he usually wakes up an hour after, and he'll play games from then on. despite that, he forced himself to stay awake when he sees your form, this time in front of your laptop, clearly working on something—probably a schoolwork or a tumblr post you would schedule to be published by tomorrow evening.

he sits up from the bed and he immediately wanted to lay back down again, his body urging him to. still, he raises up a hand to rub on his eyes, hoping to scratch away the sleepiness in his system.

he was half-asleep when he pulls himself to stand and sit on the empty chair next to you—the one he usually occupies whenever he's gaming or doing his livestreams. your chair will only rarely be occupied by you since you do your work outside, where you set-up your laptop and things to do on fresh air, also as a way to not be interrupted by the sounds his switch or keyboard produces whenever he plays.

every night though, is a different story.

kenma knows you are not much of a procastinator and usually does your schoolworks or stuff to do as early as possible—and he actually admires you for that. for him, you were one of the most responsible person he has ever met. however, you have a tendency to pressure yourself to do things as fast as possible, and kenma is here to support you, even if he has to sacrifice one hour of his sleep just to accompany you in your work.

he didn't have to peak on your laptop screen and just pushed his chair next to you, presumably a natural move of his—which it is, anyway. he then raises both of your hand rests so that he can settle himself beside you and lean his head on your shoulder, letting his eyelids close as you merely continued typing away from your laptop.

this is not actually the first time you've attempted to stay up late while doing your schoolworks or other things that could only keep you busy. that's why this is also not the first time he has done this for you and these moments just comes by, as if it was part of your daily routine.

"what are you working on again?" came out kenma's voice, soft and slurred from the drowsiness, but still clear enough for you, who was only inches away from him. he feels you halt your movements, and probably looks at him sideways for a second before continues on with your work.

"i have this event that i'm working on. i was supposed to do this last week but i got piled up by my schoolworks. you should sleep on the bed, ken. aren't you uncomfortable in this position?"

"i'm not," he says almost instantly, situating his head further onto your shoulder. "are you?"

"no, it's fine." there was a pleasantry in your voice that even when his eyes were closed, he knew you were smiling. "this actually feels nice. thanks for accompanying me again."

kenma on the other hand, barely had energy left to form a reaction, but he was still able to speak and mutter out words, nonetheless.

"ask me questions, (y/n). i might fall asleep if you don't."

"hm? isn't it better if you sleep instead? it's alright, y’know. i know you're tired."

"i'm not,” his brows curl and furrow in the slightest, "-just keep me from falling asleep."

"okay, alright, alright." you chuckle lowly, your energy depleted all the same, but seemingly still in a fair mood. he notices you stop your typing and you were humming, as if thinking and pondering deeply.

"what's your moon sign?"

"what's that?" kenma's eyes flufter and he sees you typing away again.

"like-your sun sign in the zodiac is libra right? the moon sign is the sign that you truly are deep inside of you." you say, despite being preoccupied. you're good at multi-tasking like that.

"i don't know what you're talking about." his eyelids closes again as he says the word "next"

"okay, uh-if me and kuroo are drowning, who would you save?"

"you," he says, not even thinking about it. "kuroo knows how to swim and you don't. besides, i'm sure kuroo would be the one saving you before he could even drown."

you let out a chuckle, probably grinning wide despite the straight-up insult he just gave.

"yeah, i think so too. your lazy ass would be ordering kuroo to save me instead, that's what."

he removes himself from your shoulder and opens his eyes to weakly glare at you, a pout on his lips that you had to laugh when you glanced at him sideways.

“what? it’s true.” you giggled and he eventually makes his way back to your shoulder, his silky hair tickling the sides of your face.

"how long are you going to stay up anyway? i'd have to play a game in a few later." he mumbles under his breath, his eyelids probably sliding shut with its desire to sleep.

your typing stops and your head turns his way once again, a hand along its way to reach for his hand, squeezing it ever so gently, "i told you, you could take a nap now. i'd just wake you up later when it's 2 AM."

your reassurance seems to have proven its worth when he lets out a breath that resembles one of a scoff, snuggling a little more on your shoulder, making himself more comfortable.

"head on to the bed, ken. you'll have a stiff neck if you sleep like that."

"i won't."

"hm?" you resumed typing, your focus divided upon kenma and what you were doing previously. you're so used in multitasking, but since you were far more concerned with his well-being, your fingers couldn't even find a way to work out anything with how your mind seemingly can’t form the thoughts you wanted it to do so.

"i won't, i'll stay here. just wake me up on time." he mutters as he drifts off, his breathing stabilizes and his form going slump next to you.

without noticing yourself, a corner of your lip curling up as the words to your work began to come back on your mind, your fingers working its way to type on your computer. you found a little bit of comfort in defiance of the stiffness and exhaustion of your muscles, trying your best not wake the other.

with him there, it was enough. with him beside you, it’s more than just enough.

thus you continued to work, with thoughts of how you’d sleep on kenma’s lap while he’s gaming a little bit later the moment he wakes up. just like usual, even in the difference of your waking states, you two still kept each other company.

despite having no conversation or obligation to do so, it became like an unspoken rule to keep the other from feeling lonely. because even in the darkest of nights and the brightest of days, you're there for him, and he's there for you.

and that alone was enough to go through the day, even at 1AM, where everyone else was sound asleep. at least, you have kenma here, right beside you.

2. Which remake did you watch first, and which remake is your favourite and why?

the first remake i watched was skam italia, which i need to catch up on. i’d say my favourite remake is now druck with skam nl close behind. 

3. If you could have anyone’s wardrobe from the original who would you have?

eva’s for sure! she looked so comfy and cosy all the time, i’m here for it. AND noora’s too tbh, but i’m not cool enough to pull it off. 

4. A scene from the original that you believe is underrated and from on of the remakes?

the skating scene with eva and isak, when eva tells isak that she kissed someone else. he’s all like, ‘ur okay!! it’s not gonna be a problem!!” then he turns out to be a snakey snake!! 

in SKAM NL when liv sings to isa to try and cheer her up is cute, i love their friendship hoNESTLY. 

5. If you could ship any character from a remake and/or the original together who would you do? E.g. Edoardo x Alexander, Engel x Eva Mohn or Sana B x Mohammed (German Yousef) etc

OH WOW, this is a tough question tbh. you’ve got me thinking haha. my first thoughts went to eva from skam italia and jonas from druck && eva from og skam ofc and senne from wtfock (IDK WHY BUT IT WORKS???). also i think jonas from og skam and isa from skam NL would be a power couple tbh. 

6. If you could be best friends with any or the characters who would you pick?

i think matteo, david and isa would be the chillest of best-friends, like you’d text the three of them at like 1am being like “wanna go get food?” they’d be down. that’s what i need in my life haha. 

7. Favourite cast members?

josefine frida pettersen, lisa teige, zoe love smith, bo van borssum waalkes, lukas alexander!!

8. What have you learnt from skam and its remakes?

SO MUCH tbh, we’d be here for awhile if i listed it all off. but i feel like more of a cultured person, bc i know things about how school systems work in other countries haha.

9. Favourite social media account?

of course, it’s gotta be, matteoho aka matteo’s instagram account

10. An artist you frequently listen to now because of SKAM

UHHHHM not really!! the music in all the remakes are awesome though and i need to listen more but i’m the lamest and haven’t just yet. 

11. Which remake do you feel features the best music?

SKAM NL, the music is very chill and i like it. tbh i just like SKAM NL’s whole aesthetic. 

11 questions:

1. Which couple do you ship the most in the SKAM universe? (Can be a crackship)

2. Do you have a character or ship which you think is overrated whilst everyone else loves it / them?

3. Does your country have a SKAM remake? If no, would you like one?

4. Do you prefer it when the remakes use proper older actors or teenage actors?

5. How did you first get into watching SKAM? Did you watch OG SKAM first or a remake?

6. Do any of your friends / family members watch SKAM, or you do enjoy it on your own?

7. Is there anything you don’t like about the SKAM remakes? 

8. Are there any remakes that you don’t like? Or have chosen not to watch?

5 Houseplants That Will Drastically Change The Space You Live In

Imagine this: you’re in your bed, it’s 10:30PM, and Pinterest is pulled up on your phone exactly seven and a half inches away from your face. You’re hot, you can’t fall asleep, and you’re comparing your –what you’ve convinced yourself to be– boring life to everything you’re seeing while scrolling your perfected feed… all while getting blinded by the brightness of your phone, because you’re far too lazy to scroll up and hit the “Night Shift” mode button on the menu list.

Sound familiar? Yup, we’ve been there too.

On that feed you see highly enhanced photos of tropical destinations, models, sports highlights from the day, memes (tons of them), and a slew of trendy home and interior design photos. This session of scrolling lasts for–what could be– hours, and before you know it you’re up to use the bathroom before calling it a night at 1AM. As you wrap things up in the bathroom, you’re blinded by your hallway and bedroom light, and as you slow walk– hands covering your eyes– you start to notice something about your home: it lacks character… the kind of character you saw on those beautiful interior design posts. You make it to your room, sit down on your bed, realize you have little to no style, and then lay back down only to open up Pinterest to try to find those few posts that you wished you had pinned. You begin to scroll again and interrogate yourself with questions about what made those posts so eye-catching.

“What was it about those home pictures that caught my eye?”

“Which tags did they use to tag the photo?”

“Do they always keep their home this clean?”

“How do they keep their plants alive?”

“Can I even keep a plant alive?”

Then it hits you: the plants pulled the room together. It didn’t matter what kind of Scandinavian tones were implemented across the room or what kind of Ikea furnishings rested on the mantle, because it was all about the funky, exotic, and healthy looking green plants that rested on the floor, on top of the coffee table, or drooping over the floating shelves. The plants set the mood, you realized this, and you finally asked yourself “How do I get those plants, and how do I keep them alive?!” Then the head ache kicks in...

Don’t fret! We have your answer. What you need are air plants: the quintessential, low-maintenance house plants that rarely need trimming, water, or attention. They will rest, just like you, in the their comfort zone.

For you, we have curated a top-tier list of the most desired houseplants. Check out our top five favorite ones below, and how they will enhance both you and your favorite spaces (and maybe your future Pinterest posts too)!

1. Snake Plant (AKA: Viper’s Bowstring Hemp) 

Ever had a room with an awkward corner that’s too small to put a chair or table? They’re in every house and they can truly melt the faces of anyone with an eye for interior design. The simple solution for that corner is to get a snake plant. Snake plants grow straight up, have bold green & yellow features, don’t droop, and can be planted in any kind of pot (we suggest clay ones, because they look sharp against white walls). These plants can grow to be pretty tall which not only helps add layers to the space, but covers the corner and takes away your anxiety. The snake plant produces a solid amount of oxygen in the evening, and pulls formaldehyde out of the room. Interested in potentially purchasing this plant? Click here!

2. Aloe Plant

Wait, aloe can be grown? Yes, and at a very low maintenance too! The aloe plant is the most ideal plant to have cooped up in open & bright areas, on shelves, or even resting as the centerpiece on a kitchen island. The properties of aloe (which is the gel inside the plant) include healing (if burned by stove top or oven), and they too purify the air of toxins. They tend to grow outward, so if you have a space that you’re trying to fill up the aloe plant can help you fix that problem over time, and it hardly needs water. They’re sturdy, love the sunlight, and you can leave it for a week rest-assured that it will still be alive when you get back home. Interested in potentially purchasing this plant? Click here!

3. Bamboo Palm

You don’t need a house with Asian accents to have a lovely bamboo palm plant resting on your nightstand or chest of drawers. In fact, this plant is perfect for those who need miniature accents to spruce up a bland space. They grow tall, they look amazing in skinny ceramic pots, rank high on the purification scale, and need watering only when the soil looks to be going dry. You can walk into a room with a bamboo palm with peace of mind that you will feel comfortable and easy. The bamboo palm is always a topic of conversation when in a room, and are easy to purchase both online and in stores. Interested in potentially purchasing this plant? Click here!

4. Red-Edged Dracaena

If you get your hands on a red-edged dracaena, you are simply a boss. Because this plant isn’t seen in houses too often, it’s unique properties stand out to everyone who will visit your home and experience it first hand. From it’s green, pink, and red tones, to its smooth and spirited texture, the red-edged dracaena is a perfect plant to elevate on top of an nook in the wall or even alongside the window sill. This plant, like the others, removes a slew of toxins in the air, and because it’s large will dominate the air purification of the space in the room. Skip out on the purchase of that love seat, and spend a little less on a couple red-edged dracaena plants. You won’t regret it! Interested in potentially purchasing this plant?  Click here!

5. Jade Plant 

Often referred to as the most common of the succulent plant family, the jade plant is your classic household plant. This plant can go virtually anywhere, but we most like to see it on end tables or even floating in hanging brass holders. These plants are a crowd favorite, and even your kids can take care of them with no problems at all. While this plant has a lot of properties that can help heal diseases like nausea and warts (we’ve never tried!), the jade plant purifies the air and really ties a sense of community and tranquility into the room it’s in. It can grow to be very large, so don’t ever think about dropping by the store again to pick up another one once it’s in full growing motion! Different color tones can be seen throughout the year with this plant, so be sure to take notice to the little changes. Interested in potentially purchasing this plant? Click here!
