#uhhh wtf else should i put

[katyspersonal]

Ok so i went to get the red jelly in the lecture building earlier and that made me think of something. (I’m very sorry for the following 💀 but that’s the only thing my mind could think off right now xD)

Imagined people reaction when either Byrgenwerth or Healing church or Mensis bring them back from the pthumeru tombs 💀

« Hey guys we found a new ritual material of pthumerians! »

« Oh what is- WTF IS THAT?! »

« Oh a stillborn infant apparently 💀 of some creature…»

« I see… »

« So should we put that in the report? 💀 »

« Damn we can’t write it like this… we need to find something else… »

Someone look at then from a distance. « Guys what are you doing? What is it? You guys are having some jelly? »

😐😐😐

« It does have… similar consistency… »

_ _ _ _ _ _

So now we’ll just refer to this material as red jelly !

-Sir, wtf?! 

Laurence: So, you still ended with cataloging that thing as Red Jelly?

Others:

Caryll: Don't look at me, I wanted to mark it as Fragrant Popsicle!

[audience laugher track]

Laurence: This is even worse! 🤦‍♂️

Caryll: This is why I never bother talking in the class anymore :/ *goes back to doodling*

Rom: Wait, but how do we name the other stillborn infants then?

Laurence: What the- What 'other' infants??

Rom: There, ones we carried from the dungeons, they are in the cage! *points at a square cage with some of those creepy petrified stillborns, and some stillborns with bloated heads and skulls showing on them, you see them in Byrgenwerth enough*

Micolash: Jawbreaker Jelly and Crispy Jelly! :D

[audience laugher track]

Laurence: If it is so hard, it isn't a jelly- Enough! Stop naming stillborn infants after foods no matter what! You don't want to say someone would eat them!

Dores: Speak for yourself 👍

[audience laugher track plays louder]

Yurie: 😰

Damian: Dores... You could not have possibly um, dealt with ALL of them? We have had a whole stock in that cage! *points towards an empty cage with the sheet that says 'Fragnant Popsicles Red Jellys Storage' on itself*

Dores: Of course n- WHOSE IDEA IT IS TO STORE ANYTHING IN THESE CAGES??

Micolash and Rom: *are stuffing another cage with weird rocks they brought from the woods, with books, with papers, with eye jars, Rom grabs Yurie on reflex and tries to drag her in too...*

[audience laugher track]

Patches: *"casually" walks in with innocent whistle* Oh, out of materials for your pursuit to raid some tombs so soon, eh? Worry not, Patches already got your needs covered! I just happen to have all of those.... uhhhh, those... uhhh... *is snapping his fingers*

Caryll: *whispers* Red Jellys

Patches: *whispers back* Seriously? THIS is what they called those creepy things?

Caryll: *whispers* I know, I wanted to call them-

Patches: Ak-khem- Well, you are lucky, because I've coincidentally got all the 'Red Jellys' you need, and for a cheap price!

Yurie, Dores and Damian: *gather around him, cracking their fists* PAAATCHEEES... -_-

Patches: Uh.

[Patches runs away and other three are chasing him. audience laugher track.]

Caryll: *holds up his drawing* I've finished! I drew the whole class as Red Jellys!

Laurence: Caryll, what- First, what the heck? Second, they all look exactly the same-

Caryll and Laurence:

Laurence: Ugh, I can't take it anymore! 🤦‍♂️ I don't want to see OR hear ANYTHING about the stillborns for the rest of the day!!!

[Gehrman and Maria enter. audience applauding track.]

Gehrman: Good news, we are fully packed with the things that will serve for more research for you!

Laurence: Finally, something that makes sense! So, what did you bring?

Maria: *pulls a large back through the doorframe, full of very familiar contents....*

Gehrman: Red Jellies!

Laurence:

Laurence: 🔥🔥🔥

welcome to leekie’s baking exploits, where leekie attempts recipes she doesn’t read all the way through and realises she doesn’t know wtf she’s doing when she’s already in the middle and it’s too late to back out :)

okay so basically I decided against making an “easter log” bc the reality is that my sister will eat like one (1) slice and then I’ll be stuck with an entire cake by myself and then it’ll just get old and stale and Nobody Wants That, so instead I was like oh I’ll make pear sorbet that should be easy.

(famous last words fr)

have I ever made pear sorbet before?? no. have I ever made SORBET before?? no. did I consider that maybe I should do some fucking Research beforehand?? haha what do you take me for

ANYWAYS so I buy the pears and whatever else I need, and I’m like okay time to make some sorbet !! and I start peeling the pears and that’s all fine unTIL I realise oh shit we got rid of our apple/pear/whatever-else-fruit corer BUT I TELL MYSELF oh it’s fine I’ll just use a knife… idk if you know this but pears are actually really slippery once they’ve been peeled?? which means they like to slide out of your hand while your sticking a knife into them and then when the knife gets stuck in the pear it’s very difficult to get out bc you can’t actually get a proper grip on the pear to pull it out and so you can’t regulate how much strength you have to use aND THEN YOU USE TOO MUCH STRENGTH AND THE KNIFE *schicks* OUT SO FAST YOU ACCIDENTALLY STAB IT BACK THE OTHER WAY WHEN YOU RECOIL AND NEARLY END UP BLEEDING TO DEATH OUT OF YOUR THUMB but luckily your reflexes are impeccable and so you avoid certain death with your only takeaway from the experience being well that was almost traumatic :D

and then you go through that process 3 more times bc you need 4 pears for this recipe and then you realise uhhh now I’ve gotta sous vide these pears which you have never done before so Obviously you don’t have a sous vide machine. So naturally,, you then google how to sous vide without a sous vide machine, and google tells you that if you use the wrong type of plastic bag then you might end up giving yourself cancer bc the plastic will release toxins when heated and you don’t know if you have the non toxic kind of plastic but they’re the only plastic bags you have on hand so you’re gonna have to risk it babyyy

BUT THEN the bags you have are Small and you can’t get all the air out of them to vacuum seal them AND THE POT YOU’RE USING IS SMALL TOO SO YOU HAVE TO SPLIT THE PEARS INTO TWO BATCHES AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SOUS VIDE PROCESS TWICE which takes you an hour but at least it’s just Waiting and not fighting demons like the first hour of this adventure

ALAS I WAS STILL STUCK IN MY WOEFUL ERA AFTER THAT bc I had to Strain the mushy blended up pears through a sieve. which doesn’t sound awful. but it is. BC THAT TOOK ME ANOTHER WHOLE HOUR BC THE PEARS WERE TOO GODDAMN THICK TO GO THROUGH THE SIEVE WITHOUT HELP (which is the whole point of straining but stfu nobody asked) AND I HAD TO MASH THE PEARS DOWN and my arms literally felt like they were gonna fall off idk if I’ll ever recover honestly

anyway FINALLY I put that away after I engaged in battle with the freezer to make enough space for my pears and then I check the recipe… and the pears have to freeze overnight. Which means. I don’t even get to enjoy the product of this ordeal on the same day as a reward and instead it was just Suffering (really resonated with jesus this good friday)

so bc I want Something to reward myself I’m like okay time to make panacotta,, which I also have never made before but fortunately!!! is not very hard. HOWEVER. panacotta also has to chill in the fridge for 4 hours. so I still had no instant gratification.

nevertheless I persevered, and at 9pm my panacotta was just barely chilled enough and so I ate that :)

panacotta review: good but honestly too sweet bc this was a butterscotch flavoured one and I forgot how sweet butterscotch was so I didn’t think to adjust any of the ratios

MOVING ON the next morning I’m eating brekkie and I’m like oh might as well finish up my sorbet bC AFTER ALL THAT IT STILL WASN’T DONE so I get my massive hunk of frozen pears out of the freezer and then I realise, I’m supposed to blend this shit. and it’s too big to fit in the blender as is. so I’ve gotta chop it into smaller chunks.

anyway long story short I almost died again bc my fingers went numb bc the pears were FROZEN and so obviously I couldn’t feel them and I nearly sliced myself open with the knife I was using to finagle the pear slab into manageable pieces for the blender bc surprise surprise, the frozen pears did not want to be cut. BUT I DIDN’T DIE!! so I got them all crushed and blended and whipped and then popped the sorbet back in the freezer !! IN ITS FINAL FORM !! which means I don’t have to touch it again until I’m eating it :D

pear sorbet review: i am SO MAD bc the pear sorbet is really fucking good which means I have absolutely not learnt my lesson and I Will be doing this shit again

to conclude, here’s my baby:

she’s a little ugly but she tastes amazing (misshapen ball is sorbet, funky rectangle is panacotta)

(also the next day I made mini chicken pies but I was like oh I want more veggies in this so I added more but Unfortunately one of the veggies I added wAS A WHOLE ENTIRE LEEK which has a very high water content I didn’t account for, so my pies were LEAKING fucking everywhere and also I had like x4 the amount of filling I was supposed to BUT !! it’s not all bad bc I just froze the rest and now I have low effort dinner ready if I’m in a pinch :D)

so pretty much, in conclusion, my toxic trait is not reading recipes all the way through before I attempt them and assuming I can alter them however I want and they’ll turn out fine. I am plagued by hubris <3

anyways genuinely sorry to anybody who’s read this catastrophe that’s not sreedie bc sreedie asked for this so they can suffer xx

This is an exact image of me reading this ask.

I adore YOU, and I’m sorry but that fucking dessert looks soooooo so so so much better than that weird Easter log thing. I want a bite so bad and now I’m really pissed we didn’t get together this Easter.

So here’s the plan, we will have our own holiday & it is going to be the “Peary divorce holiday” and you will make me this fucking dessert and I will enjoy it and I can cook dinner :)

I May still love you (in celebration of may) but thank you for showing me this I’m sorry I sat on it so long but I read it like 20 times haha:)

Should I make an intro post or whatever it's called-

Uhhh Ig I will-

About me:

Hi! I'm Sage, Snek, Smudge, or Smudge Stick! The local Vietnamese Blue Beauty David Chiem enthusiast? I dunno- I go by she/they pronouns! And I did make some MM Xanvid(?) aka MM Xander and MM/Traitor David designs? And an AU based off of it?

Also, I normally am very sleepy and tired, so I'm sorry for anything bad I might do, as well as I normally try to distract myself from things, so I'm sorry if I don't talk about things/don't act like those things are happening or something-

My hyperfixation as of current is pretty much just DRDT- and I really like making sprite edits or jokes- and I've also made a few AUs and designs!

I may or may not really like David Chiem and Xander Matthews- I think they're pretty hot TBH- and... uh- wtf else do I put-

Ask box:

I guess I'll just say that my ask box is open I think-? Feel free to ask and maybe even request stuff or just say random stuff! I might not answer it, but I'll try to at least for the most part! I love chaos!!

Use of my stuff:

Also, if you use any of my drawings, edits, designs, ideas, or AUs please give me credit! But feel free to use them! I love seeing stuff and knowing I somehow helped or whatever!

arc v 22 - 30 thoughts!!! whew these eps. set up stuff is important. also, good masumi yuzu moments.

-my god. yuya literally accidentally taking yuzus polymerization card from her and making it his thing when she practiced so hard with it. FUCKing apt metaphor for how I feel she should be the protag and shes being robbed of her role (im sorry I genuinely have nothing against yuya but shes so much more interesting to me! she feels like a classic protag!) im glad he gave it back at least…I was afraid she'd refuse it for some reason…

-I do love yuyas random ITS SHOWTIME english. tmm moment. (theres a lot of random english mixed into this series actually and it always makes me like :D!!! lol I understand!!! hehe)

-uhhh the tall fortune teller lady trying to look at yuyas fate fr and the glass ball SHATTERING AND BREAKING IN HALF IS PROBABLY BAD, THOUGH.

-24 gave some veeeery interesting implications. yuto tells yuzu fusion is the 'enemy' and weve SEEN a synchro (guy on motorcycle, so I assume synchro at least) fighting yuto too!! so. oh my god it is all the dimensions vs xyz. WHAT DID XYZ DO. THATS MY FAV CMON!!! -also very um. interesting in the implications of gx and 5ds being on different timelines I think since the implication is theyre pulling from diff dimensions all at once, right? (possibly diff timelines on top of that, since im p sure even tho I havent seen him, that ive heard arc v kaito is Kind of a Different Kaito from Zexal Kaito. whatever that may mean. canon/timeline divergence???? im SO confused LMAO I thought 5ds was a straight shootoff from gx/dm! I know zexal makes things a bit fucky since I think it implied 5ds didnt Happen, but?? before that I assumed it was a straight line...am I wrong tho...(dont actually answer I wanna figure it out on my own..)

-masumi!!!! being a BOSS at dueling and her two lil dudes being SUCH hypemen for her. we love itttt

-idk if theyre setting shun up as a bad guy or whatever or deeply traumatized. but everytime he xyz summons im like yessss king slay (but not my girl masumi!!!) 16400 attack monster!!!!! with an epic fire bird!!! im obsessed w his aesthetics if nothing else. kinda epic hes putting ppl in cards actually to draw reiji out and wants to take him hostage. i think i side with him bc hes at least cool about it. if youre gonna be morally questionable your vibes better fuck severely, and his do.

-yuzu kinda having a hotgirl summer moment by falling in love with an emo version of her bff LOL get it girl!!!

-oh shit LMAO REIJI STRAIGHT UP SAYING 'no my dad doesnt give a shit about me, taking me hostage would not work' with a straight face!!! DUDE U OK. this IS ygo so daddy issues come standard with every character but CHRIST. and shun being like 'wtf do u mean' HE SAID IT OUTRIGHT DUDE. DONT BE DENSE.

-shun getting told by reiji 'i have ONE condition' then WALKING AWAY BEFORE TELLING HIM and shun being like HEY?? dude this guy has been assaulting ppl/trapping them in cards and ur just?? walking away??? reiji has massive balls and is so funny (I know its more intended to be a cliffhanger, but its ygo. the solution is gonna be to do a series of duels, of course)

-junior, jr youth, youth in the tournament, so being like, little kids (I assume like 5-12ish?) then middle schoolers 13-15? then the youth class beng teenagers up to 18? thats my assumption bc 'pros' seems to indicate adults, and pros arent in the tournament. reiji specifies this is a tournament to find 'spears to fight' for him. WHY are you using CHILDREN instead of pros dude??? christ with your resources theres no NEED for that right???

-but hes fighting his dad and claims to be on the same side as shun, which. surprised me ngl. reiji team xyz!!!! win for the gays everywhere!!! and he has daddy issues!!!!!!!!!!! king.

-honestly, it raises the question of who the 'good' guys are in this battle? reijis up to use child soldiers and to work with a guy who is willing to trap ppl in cards. yet yuto made a point to say its bc they lost friends and want to protect ppl. we dont know what the other side is fighting for. it FEELS like both sides are willing to do Whatever Morally Grey things they need to, which is SUPER interesting. I mean, we havent SEEN the other side at length yet! except sora, who it was on SIGHT for when he saw yuto! so I'm willing to bet hes got the same 'whatever it takes' attitude…I want to know WHYYYY theyre fighting!!!)

-theres a duel school where idols go to learn to duel??? THATS SO CUTE. mikiyo naname ilu i know ur gonna show up ONE time but cute design

-no one told yuya hed be doing the lil pre-tournament speech!! yes he might want to be an entertainer but my god anyone would be anxious with like zero prep or warning! tf nico

-one of the announcers says juniors solid vision ar stuff is 'very soft like a sponge' why the hell is all of it not like that?? its fine for anyone over like 13 to get injured dueling ig! lmao!

-omg masumi being like 'tf are u talking abt shun has always been on our team' GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS MOMENT LMAOO (or some level of brainwashing, who knows, it IS yugioh)

-its refreshing to see some good parents in ygo who are involved for once, lol, all the kids parents there to watch them duel and cheer them on is sweet!

-layra is like. Deeply Traumatized and just seeing the councilwomen sends them into a PANIC I need to run into traffic to protect them (the subs call them a boy but?? quick google says girl so for NOW I'm being neutral w pronouns until further confirmation from the show ig) they were up there with reiji earlier too! tf are u making a traumatized child duel for dude! losing favor points with me very quickly reiji. putting ppl into cards is nbd but traumatizing kids? no. gotta draw the line somewhere man

-ayu's deck is aquarium themed!!! my god thats SO cute all the kids have rly cute themes. but she forgot she cant attack on turn one…girlie thats the basics…(everyone was cheering her on for the mistakes and encouraging her which is sweet tho)

-then its extra sad when ayu loses and still has ppl comforting her and being sweet and layra having NO ONE ???? EXCEPT REIJI WHO JUST OFFERS (1) HEADPAT. also 'niisama' yeah I expected as much, ygo rival Standard. give ur sib a HUG or something. (maybe theyre touch adverse, I dont know. they do seem. Deeply Traumatized sjfkjnkh)

-lmaooo sora and yuzus friendship Continues to grow on me. his pic of her in his contacts is her smacking yuya with her fan! and she calls him to be like 'YOU BETTER COME ROOT FOR ME OR ELSE' i love how she combats his very wishy washy noncommittal attitude…he says its bc hes her teacher but cmon u guys are friends, prob more than anyone shes soras friend fr by now right?

-YESSS YUZU MASUMI DUEL theyre both doing great I LOVE their dynamic in my mind THIS is what a ygo protag and rival should feel like (sorry to reiji, but he just doesnt feel rival-y enough yet to me!! cannot even explain it) the gay instinct to have a rival. the whole 'im better than you' attitude, the fiery competitiveness…wanting to prove them wrong, the thinking abt them so much u can predict their moves..its SO spicy. then the giving of the red rose card after getting saved by yuzu…masumi? are u perhaps. fellow gay?

-despite all of my efforts sora is growing on me. hes SUCH a brat and is honest about it (and doesnt rly do the whole fake cutesty thing as much as Id expected he would) I think hes actually been as honest as he can, maybe? like I assume theres a good reason he hasnt told the others hes..involved in some kind of?? inter-dimensional battle?? situation??? Im not entirely sure I think hes gonna be a full out traitor or anything, but the others will prob be upset when they find out he's been withholding info…but I 100% think hes some kind of child soldier who BELIEVES his side is right, just like im sure shun feels real justified sealing ppl into cards! (and unlike shun we havent SEEN sora DO anything bad yet. I just kinda think he HAS based on his deck being so creepycute and him not being straightforward, but again, him continuously asking if he was even allowed to be teachign yuzu stuff makes me think hes taking orders from..someone...) him so mad shun didnt stick around to see yuzu's duel was so funny. I dont WANT him and yuzu's silly lil friendship to end! im attached now! even tho I KNOWWW hes sus! :(

-in the crowd you can see ppl wearing cute duel monster accessories, like one girl had a dark magician girl headband/visor thing! very cute, wish we saw more things like that. in pokemon anime they do that a lot and its always such a delight…I want more duel monster cosplay moments! or references in charas outfits!

-ok yuya being the damsel during gongenzakas duel while yuzu is the one yelling, telling gon not to worry is……furthering my idea that yuzu is main chara and yuya is in the position of side character of different gender than main character (who is often a damsel or person to worry over the most). hes the anzu/kotori of the show. to me. JKJSDH (also, gongenzaka, is perfectly nice and fine but its so hard for me to care deeply about him aaaahg even with the episodes centered around him…hes so straightforward and steady, tho. good for him.)

-….the guy who gongenzaka's dueling should be disqualified. he had his goons try and jump yuya! god why isnt he automatically disqualified! doesnt the broadcast pick up audio?? he like, admits to it!

-....is shingo supposed to be yuya's rival actually, instead of reiji? ...he doesnt feel like a rival either though!!! or if he is it feels one-sided!!! yuzu was more ready to fight him than yuya was!!! jkahjkf anyway that duel is up next episode which I wont start tonight...but I'm excited to see more shingo. bc I think despite his best attempts at being a threat hes super silly actually...

[vertigoambrosia]

looking at some jujutsu kaisen again

nanami is hilarious; my man fucking hates work just like everyone else

i know spoilers about him but for now we stan one (1) guy who wishes he didn't have to have a job

it's really hard to skip the intro/ending themes on free crunchyroll (at least on the roku app) before the ads come in so i'm lucky the ending theme is really catchy

(i know i could just stream on my computer where i have adblock, but i like being able to watch shit on the tv)

i know about the hidden inventory arc so it's intereting seeing geto here

poor ichiji he's just a little normal guy

noooo leave junpei's mom alone!

that finger had extra crust on it

btw i can't believe in that ending bit gojo basically sent nanamin dickbutt

someone has to have made that edit, right?

what the fuck man! i was not expecting that to happen to junpei

poor guy

...why am i watching curses play popup pirate

nanamiiiiiii

oh no we're getting nanami flashbacks he's done for :(

oh no he's even prettier with the glasses off

i can see why people go feral for him on twitter

YUJIIIIIII

he said FUCK YOUR DOMAIN

uhhh thanks for the meatball recipe i guess?

oh it's tournament time now?

oh jogo has his body again

man i hate mahito so much

those stictches on geto's head are freaking me out; makes me think of lobotomy :(

oh new opening???

i love that nanami and gojo hang out

a robot??????????

man this show's tone is really all over the place

feels weird to have wacky tournament time right after that mahito fight

gojo is loveable but it must be a nightmare actually having to deal with him

new ending is quite skippable i miss the old one

ok now it's tournament time

maybe

ohhh todo is gonna get wrecked, isn't he? (like he deserves)

or wait he thinks he's found his soulmate or something because they both like the same type of girl

seriously what is this

LMAO at the inoki quote

ok for real though why is there a robot

i don't remember the third first year's name and i feel bad about it

tbh i don't remember a lot of student's names rn but it's different since she's a main character (or at least on the same level of character as megumi)

i'm tired of todo honestly

man todo really thinks he and itadori are a Fated Battle i guess

...what's a pepper-kun?

oh what the fuck is this creepy ass mechamaru shit?

omggg baby panda!!!

damn mechamaru probably isn't even that poor guy's real name

i hope...

'humans are creepy' that's such a funny way to put it

eat shit witch girl

oh that nail technique is siiiick

fuck yeah nobara!!

ok but if mai and maki are both rejected by the clan why is mai such a jerk about it?

like obviously mai's life in the clan sucks too, but i'm just not gaining the sympathy for her i feel like i'm suppossed to

ok i didnt' see her not even wanting to be a sorceror coming

maybe i'm being too harsh

another recipe?

ok can the chuunin exams finish already?

i love that this is supposed to be a curse felling contest but everyone's just doing pvp

man the eyes always closed character design really annoys the shit out of me so i'm glad at least kumo has a reason for it

ooo voice guy!

i love miwa and hate the kyoto principal

damn these clans aren't just dysfunctional, they're antiquated sexism dysfunctional

oh mahito's here to end the chuunin exams early

lmaooo wtf the old man's weapon is rock?

these post-episode skits are so weird

i should be asleep but i'm not :)

noo nue :(

and inumaki i guess :(

main boy is back!

hah i guess i'm getting invested enough to not have a lot to say

todo wtf

'imma let u die if you don't hit that move, bestie' (but also give you important advice)

finally after a lot of talking and exposition todo actually starts helping

man i really want to see what his technique is but it is also almost five in the morning and i've watched like six episodes in a row so i guess i'll stop here for now

[theperfectblonde]

I have no one else to tell and I just need to vent, so I’m posting on this blog just because it’s always been a little bit of my private journal.

Christmas was a little disappointing this year. It was my boyfriends family’s first time spending Christmas all together for the first time in years (they’re not from my country), and his older sister said that I bought too much for them for both gifts and stocking stuffers. Except the stockings and the tree were basically empty…? I’m not trying to sound presumptuous but I mean… a bit of Christmas magic is when you see a full tree and stockings right? Especially if you’re not expecting much? Idk for me at least that’s such a good feeling, but I grew up poor and humble and grateful for everything I received regardless of how big or small a Christmas was. I didn’t realize someone would be ungrateful if it was too big though lmao.

It’s my bf, me, his sister, his nephew, and his mom, so I already knew the only people filling stockings was going to be me and my bf, and that his sister would probably only fill her sons, which is totally fine. I even asked my bf what the budget should be and at first he said $100+, but at the last minute he said $25, so luckily I only did somewhere in the middle for both gifts and stuffers, which is a little more but not unreasonable, especially for immediate family members.

And I know it’s not about the gifts and you don’t give a gift to get recognition, but I tried really hard to make sure everyone had a lot to open and that they were thoughtful gifts too since they don’t have any family here in my country, and it seemed like no one else was going to get them anything. I didn’t even expect them to get me anything, but I just wanted to give them a good first Christmas all together and make a good impression as it’s my first one with them too.

And my boyfriend’s sister didn’t really seem grateful, and she just kept saying that it was too much and not to do it again. Idk that was just kind of shitty. I spent a lot of time curating their gifts for them, and they show gratitude differently so I wasn’t expecting a lot of fan fare, but she couldn’t just say thank you and leave it be, you know? I also didn’t spend a ton on them - like I think $60 each roughly, but I thrifted a lot of things and also combined their birthday gifts because I missed it due to me travelling. But she said I should have just left it and not done that but like… okay but do you not want a birthday gift at all then…? Wtf 😂

Also! They were kind of pissed that the nephew didn’t do gifts or stocking stuffers but he’s like… 10? And his mom didn’t help him with it, she just expects he’ll do it himself. With no money and no car and no help. Like lmfao what.

And then at the end of the night, they like… forced me to pray?? ☠️ I grew up Christian and I know they’re catholic so I’m not unfamiliar/uncomfortable with praying in general, but out of nowhere the older sister says I’m going to explain the story of the birth of Jesus to her son (my bfs nephew) without even asking me and I was like uhhhh lmao no tf I am not? And she was expecting me to know the whole bible off by heart and stuff too, like just assuming and then gets kind of pissy when I’m like I obviously don’t know that lmao. Like she gets so condescending about it, like oh which translation of the bible do you use and oh yeah you know X story is in X bible chapter right like lol girl… my memory doesn’t work like that any more idfk. 😂

And when I said I didn’t want to pray either (bc I have mixed feelings about the institution of the church and don’t agree with a lot of the ways Catholicism goes about it), she like… she couldn’t just be like oh okay no worries then she was literally like OUT OF THE BLUE AND WITHOUT TALKING TO ME “okay (my name) can open in prayer and say what she’s grateful for” LIKE UHHH WHAT!!! And put me on the spot in front of the whole family and told me to thank Jesus! It made me feel so fucking awful to be forced to do it and have it sprung on me instead of letting it come naturally. I said no I’m good actually and she was like well you have so much to be thankful for how about X, Y, and Z so thank Jesus for it and I just fucking awkwardly said “… I am grateful for the happiness and health of my friends and family”. And that was IT ☠️

Ugh idk. It just makes me feel like, why bother to be nice and go above and beyond when it’s not appreciated. My boyfriend loved his gifts, and he was really grateful at least. It’s just kind of a shame that his sister didn’t seem to feel the same way. I feel like maybe it’s because if I set the bar too high, she won’t be able to do it for her son next year so she doesn’t like how glamorous it seemed, which I totally understand as well. But at the same time you’re an adult, and I’m new to the family, so it was your responsibility to let me know for example “oh hey I don’t expect you to buy my kid anything but if you do please keep it under X amount and also we’re teaching him X lessons”. And if the issue is not being able to afford gifts, teach your kid to be extra thankful but not expectant? That he should bless others like that if he has the means? Like idk so many lessons you could be imparting, but instead you taught your kid to be ungrateful and unappreciative too because “you shouldn’t have given us these gifts” GIRL ITS CHRISTMAS IDK WHEN ELSE IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO GIFT GIVE AND BE GRATEFUL THEN

And then to make it worse my boyfriend started laughing at me because I was so uncomfortable, but then I was just getting irritated and angry with him. Which I don’t want to do on Christmas. But after a few months of living with his family I just feel like I’m not compatible with them or his culture, and I don’t want to live with them any more. He says we’ll move out after our lease is up, but he wants to still live in the same house as them (like ie top and bottom floor). Which… idk, is a better compromise, but I feel like I just need my own space again. I can’t deal with the constant microaggressions and miscommunications.

I feel like I don’t really like her that much, and it sucks cause I’d like her to be my sister in law one day because I don’t always have these problems either my boyfriend, but I don’t feel closeness to her. She’s not that nice. She’s often really rude imo (but I try to cut her slack since there’s cultural differences and my bfs family seems to act the same way). She’s told me things in the past before like I need to gain weight, she’s always criticizing everything I do and can’t just accept a different point of view, and she always has to be right, and I’m constantly being told what to eat and how much and when. It’s part of their cultural norms it seems but I can’t take it any more. And high key low key, she acts this way to everyone, and it’s become a problem at her work place, and apparently upper management is trying to get her fired. And like… I don’t WISH it upon her… but I wish that she would have a bit of an attitude adjustment from being in that position you know. ☠️ like she doesn’t want to lose her job and I don’t want her to either obviously, but she just refuses to see that maybe her condescending superiority complex is a legitimate issue and she needs to be taken down a notch! She probably doesn’t even know she has one in the first place, and she wouldn’t listen to you even if you tried to tell her either.

Sometimes I wish I was still with my ex. At least we don’t have cultural differences and had a laidback Christmas together, and he just gave me straight up $250 in cash last year lmfaoo. 😂

I’m just frustrated and sad. Christmas was almost perfect today. And right at midnight everything just felt rotten about it after that. Next year I’ll just give her fucking $20 or something, nothing personal. Idc if it’s petty; I’m not putting that much effort into her again tbh like I’m done, I tried and I’m done now :/

[lookingforhappy]

oh god don't even with the checkovs gun stuf !! five's butterfly knife got soooo much promotion and we saw it once!

putting this under a read more bc yea this is becoming a beast lol

i think the Dublin thing is too specific and most people will know that not everyone is gonna come from the capital of their country. tho someone should tell the writers this since we've had London, Seoul and Moscow holy shit why are they all capital cities??? no i think fanon is more open to smaller communities/obscure towns - also side note, why would the newspaper describe efa's town as "a small seaside community" if its Dublin?? - like i havent seen anyone say Diego is from Mexico City.

i do think the Dublin thing came from the sticker on his suitcase, which, yeah i still think thats a hint to him getting spectacularly drunk at the wedding (that and the commish were his only plot points this season tbh)

i had a classmate called Niamh so see ur point. (lol im UK too! plus irish ancestry but ive only ever been there as a baby!)

it may have been simplified for the sake of legibility but i don't really see the point of it if they just.. never say the name. The majority of the audience likely doesn't even know she has a name! I had to go searching thru screencaps and imdb pages to figure it out and thats only bc im interested lol

idk i dont want to dismiss this out of hand but there are plenty of other shows that have irish names that are hard to pronounce (i think its Succession that has a Siobhan?) and isn't there a lot of americans who are descended from irish immigrants and like irish names anyway? (i may be misinformed here)

plus this is such a minor character that the name is entirely made up for the show - why not pick something thats easier to pronounce (derry girls has a shit load of irish names, Erin, Orla, Maeve, Deirdre, Maureen, etc etc) and also recognisable as an irish name? idk i feel like theres a simpler fix here? rather than the roundabout phonetic route?

actually the writers aren't particularly logical are they. i'll give you that one lol

hmm "known as Efa to friends and family" is odd since that's supposedly just her name but then I don't see why they'd A) use Efa as a nickname to Aoife when they're pronounced very similarly and spelled completely different, B) list her name as Efa on IMDb if her real name is Aoife??

wtf is Efa supposed to be short for tho?? unless she goes by her middle name or a hyphenated name like Sarah-Beth. that might be it

i agree the props and the research was defo rushed or just not cared abt (its a scene that lasts less than a second, casual viewers won't care). tbh thats kinda what i blame most of the weirdness on when it comes to the newspapers (i think they said uhhh "carnivorous costumers" instead of "carnivorous customers" so thats the kind of quality im expecting)

i dont really trust the writers enough to bring the mothers back. we were graced with so much info in one ep and klaus got half of a plotline around his mom before the writers got bored and moved onto other things (fair enough tbh theres not much u can do with the moms). i THINK bens mom might be expanded upon bc hes in seoul and shes the only one we dont know the name of. but none of the actresses are big name (rachel maybe since she's tom hoppers wife but that felt more like a cameo than anything else) and theyre all swept under the rug really quick. if we do get more on the mothers i will be ecstatic but idk

theres a shit ton of plot points i want to be explored further - the swedes, the cult, wtf was up with human grace where did she go, the jennifer incident, how did reg know abt the apocalypse way back in s1, what was he gonna say to klaus before he got yeeted back to life in the club, dave??? dave?!?! is he alive??? - but are they gonna get answered? theyve already written themselves into a corner with reginald and his weird ass oblivion vs apocalypse plot lines so my confidence in the writers to pull off a checkovs gun or really any of their plotlines in one season is uhh low. to say the least

anyone: Five is Irish! me, knowing that "Efa" is a Welsh name, and "Aoife" is the Irish variant:

[neonwitchfuckery]

so recently ive been seeing a shit ton of people asking for spells to make people attracted to them, whether it be an ex or a crush, and various other things related to love spells in general.

just want to make something very clear here, restricting someone of their freedom to choose, which is what you'll be doing with the spell, is unforgivable in my eyes, and many others. how would you like it if you were bound to someone you didn't like by something you couldn't see? its not very fun.

now you can do love attraction spells and whatnot, slef love spells are amazing, but restricting someone of their right to choose is not, and never has been ok. remember that, because you don't want to be that witch.

speaking of self love spells, i have one here in my grimoire that im willing to share in these tough times. this is a simple but really good working one i made a while back that anyone can do.

Things You'll Need:

- Pencil/Pen & Paper

- A Glass Jar with a top!

- Pink or White Candle

- (Optional) Gold and/or Pink thread

- Pink Salt

- Honey

- (Optional) Lavendar

- (Optional) Scent that relates to a happy memory [for me, vanilla so vanilla extract.]

- (Optional) Dried Apple Peels

- Dried Rose Petals

- (Optional) Rose Quartz [I particularly dont like using crystals in my jars, but i know a few who do so im putting this one here for that.]

After you get your shit together do the typucal shit, yknow cast your circles and shit. Light your candle of choice, call upon deities or spirits now if they're going to help you with this spell. all the regular shit.

next, youre gonna cleanse the motherfucking jar. hi yes, this shit is important. im looking at you beginners. then cleanse your ingredients. congratulations, you now can sit back and relax.

just kidding. that was sarcasm. think back to the happiest memory you have. or if you're like me, traumatized and cant think of one, make a sigil for self love and self healing. get your pen/pencil and paper, write that shit down. now if you wrote down a memory, youre gonna fold it in half towards you, bringing the good vibes towards your ass because if youre making this spell you need them. if you did a sigil, fold it towards you and then rip the fucker in half.

roll roll roll the memory and sigil up, and if you have the thread tie it now. if you dont, oh well drop it in the damn jar. you can do sigils and a memory or whatever else you want, maybe youre really lucky and had a happy childhood. congratulations you can use those fun memories in the spell if you want. do it now or forever be silent.

now you gotta remember what each ingredient is going to add into the spell. Is it going to be the calming effect of lavendar? is it love yourself fucko from the roses? or your favorite smell reminding you, hey, you got this?

so now keep your concentration, if youre like me and work with pesky spirits tell em its not the time, and load that shit up in that jar. as much as you want, or as much as you can without your parents yelling at you bc youre "wasting money" like they dont do it enough on their bills. last time i checked you can live off grid with electricity and wifi, but hey. whatever you wanna bitch at man.

so its finally over, but not really. put the jar lid on the jar. then you seal it with a white ir pink candle, and if its a lock jar.... damn you went out and since i dont do locking jars... just hope it sticks. or just do the sides or something i guess. anyways, now youre all done. except your not. snuff the candle and clean that shit up. you weren't born in a barn. unless you were, in which case, just clean your shit up.

thats all for the midnight neonwitchfuckery. remember to fucking love yourselves. ✌🏻

[peachycoreroo]

HEYY CAN U DO A SCENARIO OR SOMETHING IF OIKAWA AND ANYONE ELSE U WANT WITH LIKE A SHORT ASS S/O THANK YIU THANK YOU THANK YOUUU

characters: oikawa tooru, nishinoya yuu, aone takanobu (feat. honorable mentions)

genre: fluff, crack (but i’m not funny, as always<3)

word count: 0.9k

warnings: gn!reader, oikawa and noya being dumbasses, aone being perfect<3

authors note: i had to laugh when i saw this bc i didn't expect someone to be this excited to req smth from me, but thank you anonnie!! it’s kinda short (haha get it) and i was in a pretty fluffy/cracky mood so i didn’t do nsfw hcs, tbh idk wtf this is but uhhh here you go here's a link to my masterlist

oikawa tooru:

pls it was probably the first thing he commented on

just

“are you even allowed to go on roller coasters? pretty sure you don’t reach the minimum required height.”

he’s like 6’1’’ so yk

does the thing where he puts his arm on your head and leans against you to annoy you

after a few times you kinda just stepped aside when he did it, and he ended up falling flat on his face

he should’ve learned his lesson, but he still does it and falls over every time

does the other thing where he’s like “how’s the weather down there? pretty stuffy, huh?”

and just obnoxiously grins

while you’re just 😐

“you should really try growing.”

“tooru, i’m an adult. i’m fully grown.”

“doesn’t look fully grown to me.”

pls someone make him shut up

lives to annoy and remind you that you’re shorter than him

don’t get him wrong, that’s just how he shows his love

probably calls you “shortcake” when he wants to be extra annoying

also puts the word “little” in front of every nickname

little baby, little angel, little sunshine

“i get it, i’m short.”

“ohhhh, are you? didn’t even notice, shortcake.”

also, moved everything on higher shelfs just so you have to bear the humiliation of asking him for help

punch him in his beautiful face pls

still wouldn’t make him stop though

on a more “positive” note

slings you over his shoulder to carry you around

in public, at home, doesn’t matter

he just likes how you squeal every time even though you should be used to it by now

and how you get embarrassed and yell at him to put you down, your small fists hammering against his broad back

doesn’t matter what your weight is ok

oikawa is fucking buff af, he’s literally a pro-athlete

still weaker than iwaizumi but everyone is so yk

not everyone can be iwaizum hajime (27) athletic trainer

ok i’m getting distracted skskks

honorable mentions: matsukawa issei, miya atsumu, kuroo tetsurou

nishinoya yuu:

pls he always had a hard time finding someone shorter than him

(except for yachi)

he’s just happy he can also be the tall boyfriend who gets things for his s/o when they can’t reach

…until you ask him to get you something and he also can’t reach

he sulked for two days straight after that

you literally had to swallow your pride and repeatedly tell him that you see him as tall, manly and strong

that was the only thing that got him out of the pouting

you get called the “pipsqueak couple” every time karasuno has a reunion

and after, you, once again, have to reassure him that you think he’s tall when you return home

you’re basically his emotional support

“baby, i can get that for you!”

“noya, no tha- “

cue noya not being able to reach

and you just sigh in defeat and go “i think you’re tall, baby”

you can visibly see him inflate again

“really?”

“really.”

and then he just gets on a chair to retrieve it for you BWFHUEH

“could’ve done that myself…” – you, in your head

PIGGYBACK RIDES!!!!

will literally offer them all the time

it’s the best way to carry you around

and also to prove he’s strong

someone pls just tell him he’s perfect the way he is

honorable mentions: hinata shoyo, yaku morisuke (“of course i’m tall!”), hoshiumi kourai (of course i’m tall!” 2.0)

aone takanobu:

perfect boyfriend

can do no wrong

you don’t even have to ask him to reach something for you

he does it automatically

also moves everything to lower shelfs so you have it easier

unlike someone

he’s used to everyone around him being smaller

so, he probably didn’t even realize until someone pointed it out

“woah, they’re so short. aren’t you afraid of crushing them?” – futakuchi, probably

and aone just goes oh my god, they are short

ok it’s not that he didn’t realize, he did

the first few weeks of dating he didn’t even hug you because he was afraid of hurting you

he is a tall, broad, strong man

and also, the current concern thing where he was sad that people weren’t sitting down next to him bc he’s so intimidating

yeah, that kinda stuck with him

he didn’t get why you would date him, so he kept intimacy to a minimum

until you were like

“’nobu, i won’t break. please just hug me.”

after futakuchi reminded him of the fact that he was like,,twice as big as you

he’d once again be kinda careful around you

“did futakuchi say something to you? i swear, if you don’t hug me right now, i’ll scream.”

and aone’s just like🧍‍♂️

let’s you sit on his shoulders and walks around with you!!

well, if you feel comfortable enough doing that

who doesn’t wanna sit on a 6’4’’ dudes shoulders to experience being extremely tall

people might stare but they also do when you normally walk besides this giant, so yk

omg the meme where there’s like a really tall guy with his really small wife

idk if anyone knows what i’m talking about but

that’s you both

ok i put the meme below in case no one knows:’)

honorable mentions: azumane asahi, bokuto koutaro (though he was way too excited to not hug so he pretty much crushed you immediately on the first date), ushijima wakatoshi (genuinely forgets that you’re small sometimes)

you and aone/asahi/bokuto/ushijima:

pls tell me someone knows

also tagging my brezelbruder @weepinglevi, i hope you like it even if you don’t know what’s going on 100% REKHFEJFR<333

[redstone-sun]

trsns writer redstone-sun beloved what is ur thoughts on Mumbo Jumbo beloved (for the ask meme)

that’s me :D

first impression: hey this dudes voice does Not match his skin, he seems kinda more put together than grian. also wtf is redstone

impression now: WAILS BECAUSE I MISS HIIIIIM and also he is not more put together than grian they are both so unhinged

favorite moment: that one time grian told mumbo he loved him in a g-team meeting, lives in my brain rent free, also him and iskall messing around in his video shop before golf

story idea: fuck bro idk i’ve already shared all my most recent ideas for flau uhhh hm. maybe someday i could actually write the snippets of flau demise where mumbos just in a honey dream the whole time to parallel just him messing around with honey blocks in creative worlds instead of getting on the server

unpopular opinion: HE. SHOULD. HAVE. CURLY. HAIR. idk why i’m so intent on this but any time i see a mumbo that’s got curly hair i go bonkers fucking yonkers

favorite relationship: while i do love him and grian together i also love him and iskall. i mean the end busting streams, the sahara building streams, they make me laugh so hard i cry

favorite headcanon: he passes out any time he’s afk and he’s allergic to redstone but doesn’t do anything about it other than live with a tissue box. i also love vampire mumbo but lore for the aesthetic than anything else

Javelia Wedding Headcanons

Alright. @dazzlingkm and I been talking all morning... And uhhh. We came up with some... headcanons for Javi and Amelia's wedding!!!!

(Warning: it's LONG and I don't wanna put it under the cut. Trust me, it's adorable.)

Javi and Amelia wanna plan their wedding, but Pop Pop and Warden Buzzkill are just too much into it, so they decide to leave it to the two boring old men to plan the wedding.

It does not go well.

Pop Pop and Warden Garcia can't agree on a single thing. Example: Pop Pop: My baby girl likes pink so the wedding cake should be STRAWBERRY. Warden Garcia: Well what if SOME PEOPLE like chocolate more?! OR VANILLA HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?! Pop Pop: Vanilla is the most boring flavor in existence NO. Warden: It will not give the guests FOOD POISONING.

Basically Pop Pop wants everything Pink and Fluffy and Warden wants everything practical and normal.

The cake ends up being butterscotch.

The old men bicker so much that Zayto, Ollie, Aiyon and Izzy are the ones who actually go to all the vendors and make arrangements (venue, booking the cake, going with Javi and Amelia to get the jewellery; all that good stuff)

So basically Javi and Amelia's wedding is saved from being a dumpster fire in hell by their four ranger friends.

"Respectable Dad and Grandad, take a break and let us professionals handle this situation👐"

It's an outdoor wedding, with lots of trees in the backdrop, and lovely winds bellowing. The architecture of the hall is something like ancient Greek (but it's all P.O.P. lol) with lots of pillars and vines, and ice sculptures (THAT WAS JANE'S IDEA) and all that good stuff!

Javi picked out the wedding songs; they were a surprise for Amelia and some were sung by him only; he wanted it to be as romantic as he could make it humanly possible.

Zayto and Aiyon will drop in traditional rafkonian dressses and the normal hoomins present at the wedding all go like "O.O wtf"

Their wedding "tuxes" Are red and gold, both of them, and since we couldn't decide wat they'd actually look like, they're loosely based off of Sherwanis.

Izzy is in an olive green tux, with a light green shirt, and a perfectly violet bowtie. No one is allowed to question her fashion sense. Fern is in a violet dress, and looks STUNNING! Amelia pauses for a moment, and wonders if she should borrow that for the wedding gown instead.

Speaking of wedding gowns, Amelia's is the light, totally adorable baby pink color, instead of the traditional white. More details to be added

The most unique wedding that ever happened in the Pine Ridge's history. (this was the point where i lost it and ended up looking for my pyjamas in the refrigerator... don't even ask)

Ollie is in a deep blue tux, and a blue floral printed tie, and can't stop sobbing because his friends legit look so adorable in all these pretty gowns and he just wants them to be happpyyyy. He makes Javi put a Maile Lei around his neck, as a symbol for eternal love and peace and friendship.

Izzy is the maid of honor, because anyone else being there would be wrong.

Javi couldn't decide whether he wanted Ollie, or Zayto or Aiyon to be his best man, so he decided to do away with the traditions, and asked all three of them. The three best men couldn't be happier to do it. I mean if Ross can why can't Javi

Izzy and Javi's cousin, Lily is the ring bearer. She was so honored when Amelia asked her (yes Amelia asked her. She wanted to ask her. No take backs) and she jumped up and hugged her.

This one we're a lil shaky on, Amelia and Javi's five y/o daughter Adelyn is the flower girl and she's happy that she's in her parent's wedding because lots of kids don't get to do that!

Bunch of Buzzblast employees also present, yadayadayada😂

Void Knight's present in hoomin form. He’s hiding tho; he just wants to be at his daughters wedding, but she hates him, but he still wants to be there all the same so he’s just hiding in the corner... T_T

Pop Pop gets to walk Amelia down the aisle of course

Voidy's just leaning against a pillar in the background and watching with his arms crossed, tears in his eyes, as he watches his dad (yes, that's the AU we're going with idk what happened in s2 it doesn't exist) walk his daughter down the aisle. He wants his child to be happy. If he's not part of it, that's his fault, not hers.

AND L A S T L Y (for now) Amelia tosses her bouquet, and ther'es a lot of people in line for it, (aka all her friends) she pretends she's gonna throw, but doesn't let it go, again, and again, and again, and it's getting annoying now. Then she turns around, reaches up to Aiyon, who wasn't in queue, and hands it to him. He's confused. She takes him by the shoulder and turns him around, and he's just gasping because Zayto's there on one knee with a ring in his hand for him!

And das it for now folks! We'll keep adding stuff!! Hope y'all liked it! Feel free to add more yoself if you're struck w inspo!

[manias-wordcount]

Have a request? Read me!

Okay so ive been running this shit for about a year and a halfish i think its time to talk about how i work. though before we start i just wanted to say im thankful for everyone who supports me or just reads a work of mine. it means the world to me and i enjoy being able to share my writings with a bunch silly and lovely people like y’all !!! 

General Rules for my blog!

Please don’t ask me for any personals information lol

like actually

this includes stuff like my age, where im from, etc. 

i share what i want on my own private time sooo like

dont ask teehee

Please dont make SA jokes in the comments of my stuff xD

i wish i was joking.

i understand some people use humor to cope

but thats no excuse to be joking about bringing out the rape whistle when a unpopular background character is staring at you

like i really wish i was joking but yeah

Don’t be rude in general in the comments of my stuff lmaoo

like its genuinely annoying.

it’s 10000% okay to not agree with my vision for how a story goes or how a character should react

but if that’s something you want to tell me, do not be rude about it lmaoo like where are your manners

like if you dont agree, you dont agree but neither of our word is law soo...

also dont fucking shame requesters or commenters if they’re actually doing nothing wrong

i’ve had way too many people complain or shade other’s completely reasonable requests like wtf???

but yeah practice some self-awareness before you speak your mind sometimes? 

you are not the only person in the room

okay rant over teehee

Some of the stuff on my blog contains sexual material

I really try to give warnings ahead of time

but don’t be afraid to point out if there's something else that probably needs a forewarning

also my words are not gospel

shit can be dramatized (im whore)  or romanticized for convenience of storytelling (im lazy) so if youre using this stuff to learn about sex uhhh

maybe dont?

Some of the stuff on my blog contains some dark themes

i also try to be transparent about those things as well

but for the record im in no way glorifying these dark themes

though as someone who is both creative and has seen/gone through so shit i do explore and work through some of these topics to myself as a person and as a writer!

Request Rules and Guidelines

i’ll write anything!! (within reason)

i think you guys can guess a bit about what “within reason” means

and i know the fact that i dont have a “NO LIST” can be inconvenient

but if you’re unsure if ill write something you want? just ask!

you can always ask in dms or in my inbox! either is fine  

that means i have the right to deny anything too, of course

long story short, y’all dont pay me LMAOO

i usually wont deny something but i will if it’s...

one: requested while my requests are closed (im sorry but no more means nomore!!!)

two: goes against what i believe in some way (i doubt anyone is going to request something political or bigoted so im talking shit like the fact that i will never write anything that takes place in the state of New Jersey USA because  i hate that place so much WHHAHAHAHA

three: you were mean to me AHAHAHAHAHAH

yeah this list isn’t long and very hard to get but i did want to make this transparent

before anyone starts requesting some new jersey aus..........

be respectful !!

not only am i human, im truly am doing this for free (for now, at least) and on my own time

though you should treat people who charge for their work with respect too.

its hard out there for us lil creators lmao

sometimes, less is better.

Super detailed requests can be tricky to navigate.

Again, im doing this on my free time and i average around 1K-2k words depending on what my life is looking like at the moment.

sometimes a super detailed requests require multiple parts that might not be released for a long time.

Or i struggle with getting a story im proud of putting my name while trying to respect the request.

If you want specific details to make the experience more personal to you, go for it

but do you really need to tell me what your request is in 11 full-length  sentences? do you really HAHAHAH

also if i aske you to explain something, please be able to explain it bc im not a mind reader and this guess and check thing is kinda stressful

try not to rush me lol

Im checking my blog everyday.

I see your requests and i promise im (most likely) not ignoring you.

i have other hobbies, and a life too, and possibly 20 requests ahead of you.

i try to get everything out asap but sometimes that’s like 2 or more months

BUT if you’re scared that your request may not have made it through the hellsite, send another one asking if i got the request! 

i’ll respond to that one if i have!

PLEASE TELL ME WHO AND WHERE THEYRE FROM IN YOUR REQUEST

like actually teehee

It stresses me when i just get a request and all that's included is the situation the requester wants and the character’s first name. Give me the full name or tell me where they’re from before i scour every single series i write for to check for repeat names

its not that big of a deal but im scared of fucking up for you guys aaaaaa

If you send me a weird or rude request as anon, im just going to delete it from my inbox for both of our sake

cough cough THINK LIKE NO PEDOPHILIA LIKE ACTUALLY

and im not gonna specify what i mean by “weird” beyond that just because it’s very much a random situation

im not naming anons but just kinda think ahead of time what you’re asking me (a stranger) to do and publish for you

maybe uhhh...check my masterlist before requesting?

i know its daunting

i know i have a lot on there

but there might literally be exactly what you’re looking for on there HAHA

if not though, absolutely go forward with requesting !!!!!!!

even if what you want is something similar to what i’ve already written, a few changes make a huge difference!

but when in doubt about characters or stories i’ve written before?

check!

if have the right to change the way i write a request (unless specifically stated otherwise)

all this means is that every request (unless a HC is specifically asked for) will start off as being written as a full length average Mania™ fic

if for any reason i decide it would be better in a different format, then i will change it (ex: fic  => hc)

UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR A CERTAIN FORMAT

then ill keep true to that format no matter what happens 

but yeah ! that’s it for now at least. ill update this post if theres more hehe. also if you have questions, just dm me or put it in my inbox :)

Body & Soul

A/N: Uhhh, hi!! I've been writing since I was little, but I've never done something quite like this before, nor have I ever posted anything like this online.

Anyway! This is an Orochimaru x transmasc-nonbinary!Reader fic for @crybaby-writings, based on their post here . I hope this is okay, and I'm sorry it took me so long to post it!! Please note that Orochimaru is non-binary, so they/them pronouns are used. ****TW: descriptions of gender dysphoria, self-mutilation (maybe?), chest binding, binding too much, panic attack, allusions to human experimentation.... I think that's it, but please let me know if I need to add more!****** ~ Body & Soul, 1290 words You had been standing in front of the mirror for nearly an hour already. A deep frown was etched across your face as you stared at your body, more than displeased by what you saw.

Nothing matched. Everything was wrong. A wave of heat crashed over you. No, no, no, no, no. Your breathing came in gasps. Wrong, everything was wrong, you were wrong, your life was wrong. I can’t breathe. No, no, no, no, no, no – I can’t breathe – Your vision was tunneling; the black at the edges was creeping closer and closer to the center – you were dizzy, and hot and cold at the same time – you wanted to run, but there was nowhere to go, and you were rooted to the spot anyway. With a choked sob, you crashed to your knees on the floor. I am going to pass out. Or die. Your breathing was faster and much harder than necessary. You squeezed your eyes shut tight and wrapped the towel tighter around yourself. Your pulse was increasing rapidly – you were choking now –

Something cool moved under your hands. Your e/c eyes snapped open and you were face to face with a white snake, whose tongue was flicking over the tears that stained your face.

“Hi,” you croaked.

The snake blinked.

You cleared your throat. “Sorry. I’m fine.”

The snake reared and looked at you as if to say, you’re kidding, right?

You sighed and stroked the snake, who had draped themselves over your abdomen. “Did they send you?”

The snake hissed and nudged your chin with its head.

“Figures. They always know.” Your small smile was fond as you thought of your spouse. “Where are they?”

The snake merely stared at you.

“Lab. Right. Where else would they be?” You got up off the floor and patted the snake’s head as its lower body slid off you. “Thanks again.”

The snake blinked and slithered away.

You got dressed, opting to wear one of your spouse’s shirts (it nearly reached your knees, but you didn’t much care at this point) and an old, holey pair of pants. Comfort was what you were seeking, and you’d be damned if anyone bothered you about it.

As you walked through the long corridors of the hideout, you wondered what your spouse was working on now. They hadn’t spent much time with you over the past few weeks; you knew that they were training the Uchiha boy, but you hadn’t expected that the training would take up all of their time. The Uchiha had arrived about a year ago. His attitude made you want to slap the taste out of his mouth. However, you refrained from getting involved. You knew full well why your spouse had marked the boy, and you weren’t about to get in their way – especially since the Uchiha would ensure that you would have them with you for years to come.

You walked into the lab silently. Kabuto was looking into a microscope. Your spouse was leaning over a faceless corpse with their back to you. Neither of them looked up, but you knew that your spouse sensed your presence when their shoulders seemed to relax.

“Hello, dear.” Their voice soothed your nerves.

“Hi….” You came up behind them and rested your cheek on their back.

Their shoulders stiffened momentarily – they were working, after all – but they relaxed again a few seconds later. “What is troubling you?”

“Just….” You weren’t sure what to say. My dysphoria is so bad that I want to cut the fat bags off my chest myself. I can’t stand my hips and want to cut those off, too. While I’m at it, I’d also like to go ahead and hack off the roundness of my jaw to make it more masculine. You closed your eyes and gripped their shirt tightly.

“Kabuto, get out.” Orochimaru’s tone left no room for argument.

“Yes, Orochimaru-sama.” You heard Kabuto’s footsteps, heard the door open and close, and then there was silence.

Orochimaru backed away from the slab, prompting you to let go and move away. They disposed of their gloves, washed their hands, and then finally turned to face you.

You smiled a little. “Hi.”

“Come here.”

You walked over and immediately wrapped your arms around them, settling your head against their chest. You could hear their heartbeat, and it stopped the anxiety that was building again in its tracks.

Their arms came around you. “What is troubling you, my dear?”

“The usual,” you muttered. “It’s just… really bad today. For some reason. I don’t know why. I saw my reflection when I got out of the shower and I just….” Your voice stopped working.

Orochimaru gently tilted your head up. Your eyes met, gold against y/e/c, and they placed a cool hand against your cheek. “Growing it out?” they asked softly, referring to the y/h/c hair that was lining your jaws and upper lip.

“Yeah,” you sighed. “It’s about the only thing that helps right now.”

Their thumb stroked your cheek. “Ribs aching?”

“Yes.” Your tone was bitter. “I’ll have to stop binding completely soon, I think.” You closed your eyes. “That’s going to be awful.”

Orochimaru was quiet. Their other hand came up and was lightly tracing your ribs. When you flinched, they settled their hand on your hip and brushed their lips across your forehead. “I… am sorry that I haven’t spent much time with you lately.”

“It’s all right, I know you’re busy.” You frowned and looked up at them. They weren’t the type to offer apologies. “Orochi—”

“I have been working on something for you.” They were watching your expression carefully. “Your dysphoria has been getting worse and worse. I cannot stand by and watch you suffer any longer.”

You blinked. “Okay…?”

“When you married me, y/n….” They had a faraway look in their eyes. “I—”

“—Orochi, you don’t have to say—”

“Hush,” they said, placing a finger to your lips.

You fell silent.

“I cannot… will not… sit and watch as my spouse is destroyed by a body that does not match their soul.” Their left hand took yours, their thumb brushing over the simple band on your fourth finger. “It is my job to care for you.”

“You do,” you blurted but they arched an eyebrow and you immediately closed your mouth again.

“You are not hearing me,” Orochimaru said quietly. “I can help you. I have been working day and night in order to do so.”

You stared at them for a moment and then your gaze cut to the faceless body on the table. Not only was their no face…but there were no features at all. No hair, no marks – nothing. The body was essentially a blank canvass….

Your mind raced and put two and two together very quickly.

“That’s my body,” you whispered.

“Yes.” Orochimaru’s hand tightened around yours. “It is yours, should you want it.”

You had so many questions, but you trusted your spouse – mind, body, and soul, you trusted them and loved them – and so you looked up at them, stood on your toes, and kissed them soundly. When you parted for air, Orochimaru’s forehead was leaning against yours, his hands at your waist.

“Would you like to proceed?”

“Yes, please,” you whispered.

The corners of their mouth tilted up into a small smile.

“I love you,” you told them.

“Oh, my dear. If only you knew.” They kissed your forehead and then slid out of your arms and went to the door.

“I think I do know,” you said as you watched them.

They flashed you a toothy grin over their shoulder and then wrenched the door open. “Kabuto!” they snapped. “Get the equipment… it’s time.” ~ I 100% believe that Orochimaru would only show their soft side with their significant other (and even then, it would take a lot of time and patience to get to that point).

A/N: So uhhh... yeah. That's that. Uh, if you want more let me know? I guess I'll take requests? Idk wtf I'm doing honestly please be kind haha

CONCEPT!! okay okay look but i wanna see a modern day zukka fic where zuko is a tattoo artist!! his uncle is a renowned tattoo artist, owns a parlor called the Jasmine Dragon, and zuko works for him there. his designs are absolutely killer, he studies a bunch of different styles (that i do not know the names of because i know nothing of tattoos and i’m too excited to do research), like the cool samoan ones and cartoon styles and he’s really good at photo realism, but his favorite is to just treat tattooing as any other art form and use his personal style.

zuko’s a growing name in the industry, and his uncle’s competitor shop is the Flying Bison (cause why not). the Flying Bison is just a couple streets over, and in it you can find aang (tattoo artist), katara (piercing person), suki (works the desk and manages everything for the owner, kyoshi), sokka (hangs out to bother katara when he isn’t in class at the law school), and toph (likes to hang out and make recommendations until people realize she’s blind and get really awkward. she works at the flower shop next door because we like tropes and flowers and tattoos just go together, okay??)

one day, suki is complaining about losing another customer to the Jasmine Dragon and katara is agreeing, and sokka is like “ehh they can’t be that great, the owner is some old guy!! i bet if i went and got a tattoo i could cause a big ol stink about it being awful and lose them some customers” and katara is like great idea you go do that and when it sucks aang can fix it!

sokka, who was joking in the first place, somehow ends up walking into the Jasmine Dragon and stopping just inside the door cause w o w that boy is hot. what the fuck why is he hiding in here when he should be a walking poster boy, those tattoos are nice.

(zuko has the burn on his face, long shaggy hair that he ties up in a bun when he’s working, a tattooed dragon that curls around his neck, a sleeve on his left arm that’s got some flames, some symbols, another dragon curled around his wrist, and on his right forearm he’s got a white lotus pai sho tile with writing around it)

(not relevant at the moment, but sokka has the moon between his shoulder blades, a boomerang on the side of his left wrist, the pattern from his mom’s betrothal necklace on his left shoulder, katara’s handwriting that says “hey loser” going up his right side, aang’s air symbol on his right shoulder, and appa on his lower back)

zuko catches sokka staring and blushes, obviously checking him out, before asking him if he needs any help. sokka’s like “yeah actually i’m here kinda as a representative of the Flying Bison, ya know, your rival. i’ve come to get a tattoo so that we can know that we’re better than you, but now that i’m here i’m kinda seeing that nothing could ever be better than you, oh fuck i just said that out loud”

...needless to say they’re both blushing now. that is, until zuko’s like “wait? you what?? what kind of guy wants to get a tattoo just to prove that you’re better than someone else???”

sokka’s like “uhhh actually i was joking when i suggested it but then my sister said i should do it and i can’t legally deny her anything so... here i am” and then they just kinda stand there in awkward silence. for a long while. somewhere between a minute and a century.

then zuko just kinda clears his throat and is like “so um where do you want it? what do you want?”

and sokka is like “???? i JUST told you i’m here to make you make me look bad and you’re just fine with it?”

and zuko just quirks his eyebrow and smirks and scoffs a bit and is like “i couldn’t make you look bad if i wanted to. and i wouldn’t let you make me look bad.”

which, the first part is CLEARLY flirting except the second part is so condescending and sokka has never been more attracted to someone since yue tattooed the moon on his back. sokka has never been known for his exceptional decision making skills. which might be why he decides to say “so about that tattoo. does me being attracted to you create a conflict of interest?”

and zuko blushes but the smirk turns into a grin and he goes “not unless you have an issue with me being interested in you too.” and sokka cannot believe he is LIVING THIS LIFE!!!!

they hammer out the details, set up an appointment for the next day. sokka goes home and refuses to tell katara anything except he’ll be getting a new tattoo tomorrow. zuko goes home and rants to his uncle about the boy from the Flying Bison that he definitely flirted the crap out of, is that a conflict and can i please tattoo this boy even tho he’s from our competitor shop? (iroh says yes of course, though he plans to send ty lee to check out the Flying Bison in retribution)

(unseen future: ty lee and suki start dating. iroh finds this hilarious)

sokka comes in the next day for his tattoo, asks zuko to do something like his dragons cause he thinks those look cool, but gives him free reign to do whatever else he wants. it takes forever, but when they’re done sokka has officially developed an actual crush on zuko beyond just his appearance. they’ve talked about their moms, hakoda and iroh, katara and the rest of the gaang, zuko’s development as a tattoo artist, and they’ve developed a comfortable silence as music plays lowly in the backround.

when sokka looks at the tattoo for the first time, he’s absolutely speechless. zuko’s added in koi fish around the moon, in a yin yang pattern, and between the moon and appa, he’s put the sun with a dragon curled around it, head resting on its tail at the bottom.

zuko’s watching him anxiously, terrified that he’ll hate it even though he’s tried to match the style that the moon was done in as much as possible. already he’s sputtering stuff like “it’s kind of too late if you don’t like it, you did tell me i could do whatever, did i overstep with the koi fish, oh my gosh here i’ll go get your money back—“ and sokka cuts him off by turning to look at him with affection just evident on his face and wtf who gave him permission to be that cute—

and then sokka is asking “hey, can i like kiss you or is that too much for the health guidelines?” and sokka’s honestly surprised that he could even ask that much, he loves these tattoos and if he doesn’t get to kiss this amazing boy soon—

and zuko is in shock apparently, but he snaps out of it with “okay let me get you wrapped up, oh god that sounds so bad, let me treat your tattoo and ring everything up and say all the precautionary health stuff that you already know so i can take my break and then we’ll see” and that’s what they do!!!

when zuko’s break is up, iroh exits into the back alley to find sokka has pushed zuko up against the wall and they’re making out, didn’t even notice iroh coming outside. of course, iroh is an embarrassing uncle and goes “ah zuko, i assume this is the competition?”

to which zuko draws back and thumps his head into sokka’s shoulder, not letting sokka back up more than an inch. “uncle go away i’m busy” “ah yes, i can see that. is this a new method of exchanging trade secrets?” “uncle.”

sokkas chuckling breathlessly as iroh hums and goes back inside. “trade secrets huh?”

(katara is infuriated that sokka loves his new tattoo, especially since it clearly shows that zuko’s an amazing tattoo artist. aang wants to meet him and learn from him like NOW, suki wants to recruit him, and toph thinks they’re dating. she isn’t wrong, but sokka bribes her to shut up so katara doesn’t find out)

ok hold on. acomaf is my fave book out of the whole series (it's mostly out of emotional value, i read it when i was younger and didn't have a real understanding out trauma and abuse only that i saw a character i loved getting out of a bad situation and getting happy) so obviously i didn't mind feysand being endgame and the development all of the characters had. i can accept tamlin turned out like that is realistic due to his trauma, i can accept feyre had to flee because it wasn't right for her, but the thing is after acofs i see no point to feyre leaving tamlin when rhysand ends up doing everything they told us tamlin was evil and unredeemable for. hiding the risks of her pregnancy, putting on shields on her, having feyre need to compromise over it. i honestly felt so betrayed by that. i'm not saying feyre and tamlin were good for each other, but it doesn't feel worth it to dismiss the potential they had for what we got with feysand.

also, sarah learn to treat "ugly" trauma with respect challenge. no they don't need to learn to physically fight to fight it. no they don't need a love interest to overcome it. yes the behaviors acquired from trauma and abuse aren't pretty but that doesn't mean a person is undeserving of kindness and compassion.

i think i had a point somewhere but i can't get to it. so hope you don't mind my rambling. anyway i loved your meta about tamlin i think he deserves better too

HOLY SHIT THIS ONE IS SO GOOD OK IM SO EXCITED

Bro you are so fine, I'm the one who doesn't make any sense and I totally get what you're trying to say. (Acomaf was actually my favorite book in the series too ngl)

BUT FUCK YEAH LETS TALK ABOUT RHYSAND.

I don't think it's a secret that Rhysand is one of my least favorite characters in media, probably ever? (How do I even put this into words) He is a bad character and to me, laughably so. You know how if you've ever written a character, there's that little phase that's like "what if people don't like this character' and then you're sad for a little bit? That's how Rhysand feels to me. He feels like SJM looked at this character and thought "I can't stand the thought of people not liking this character because I love him so much" and then did everything in her power to make sure we know how great he is.

Idk if this is just me screaming into the void, but I get to this place with my characters where like, especially if they are a little more morally gray or their decisions have negative impacts, I understand that I don't need the audience to like my main character. they can stand on their own, they can own up to what they do and they can grow from it. Thats what a good character does. That's how you keep your audience rooting for them. You gotta knock them over sometimes.

SJm doesn't knock Rhysand over. She doesn't push him to make mistakes, apologize, own up and move on. Rhysand has never made a decision that ended poorly for him. Everything goes the way he wants it to, because SJm wants us to know how cool and great he is. People who are cool and great don't make bad decisions! SJm doesn't let Rhysand fail, and she doesn't let him suffer his own decisions. Everyone else suffers his decisions, not him.

Rhysand's reputation as a good person hinges entirely on the audience liking him and/or thinking he's hot. And then what happens when the audience thinks neither of those things? Ya get a rly long post like this by a lil enby who is mad all the time. Rhysand loses all credibility when you look at him through a critical lens. Not a single thing the man does makes any goddamn sense. Here I thought acosf would give us a different perspective on Feysand and I was desperately hoping that Nesta would tell us what she really sees in them and how people around them really feel, I hoped that SjM would throw us for a loop and tell us that hey, she does know that Feysand are fucking toxic as hell and ruin the lives of people around them and she wants to show us that from an outside perspective but noooOoOOOoOoOOOO...

Instead we get Nesta hating herself because Rhysand told her that she shouldn't tell Feyre that Feyre could uh die in childbirth. Hey what the fuck.

Now I don't actually ship feylin, I kinda always sorta knew, even without spoilers, that it wasn't going to work out. Tamlin isn't sjm's idea of a good partner because he's not charming and witty and dark and handsome ya know? We met Rhysand and I knew that I was going to fucking hate this romance. Which sucks because I found Rhysand so intriguing in the first book. Ngl all the time spent in the spring court was kinda boring and every time Rhysand showed up to throw dead faeries at Tamlin I was like "oooooo" and I wanted to know more about why Tamlin, this awkward, blunt and kinda shy dude had beef with this super duper sly and shady man from another court.

I don't know if I've ever said this before, but SJm doesn't let her love interests grow. Rhysand doesn't change over the course of the story because he was already a good guy and his motives were for Feyre's sake I swear, the same goes for Rowan in TOG. SJm doesn't give Rhysand room to change. She needs to get to the part where they fuck make sure everyone knows that Rhysand is a good guy and actually he was good all along so that we like him more than Tamlin. It backtracks on everything bad Rhysand has ever done because you know... He had a good reason! It's fine!

I know it's probably just because SJm doesn't actually know how to write a good character growth arc but... Like can you imagine if Rhysand stayed the bad guy? Or at least remained the bad guy through acotar and acomaf? And then when Rhysand comes to take Feyre for his bargain it really was only to spite Tamlin? What about Rhysand, taking Feyre to the night court with him once a week every month for a long time, if only to see Tamlin's eyes grow darker and emptier every time he goes, and then he really starts to fall in love with Feyre. He's been a monster all this time, angry and cold and cruel and then he actually starts to fall in love. And then to get Feyre to stay he really does try to change, he stops antagonizing Feyre, he stops throwing dead faeries at Tamlin, and he stops harassing the Spring court. He starts spending genuine quality time with Feyre, he starts to learn about her and all the things she likes and he stops trying to get her to come with him just so Tamlin will be mad. He starts asking her to come with him because he wants to be around her and he prays that someday she'll want to be around him too. What if SJm let him grow.

But nahhhhhh instead we have a character who always knows the right answer to things, and he always knows how to fix every issue, and he is always so innovative and outside the box except that he isn't. We get a character who does the same shit as Tamlin but it's ok because he had a good reason not to tell Feyre that she could very well die in childbirth. Uhhhh don't know what that is but uhhh I know he has his reasons because all he has are his reasons.

It would be so easy to hold a mirror up to Rhysand and say "look at this. Look who you are. Do you not look just like Tamlin right now?"

But nooooooooOoOOOo Rhysand doesn't get to be wrong. Rhysand doesn't get to look like Tamlin because Tamlin is evil and Rhysand is definitely NOT I SWEAR.

But yeah I think the point I'm trying to make is that Sarah thinks so highly of Rhysand that he could never do wrong. He could never be like Tamlin, despite the narrative literally telling us the exact opposite.

Like you said, we lost the potential of what feylin could have been if SJm didn't suddenly decide that her audience needs to love Rhysand as much as she does. I think feylin could have been slow and sweet and a story of true healing and learning about one another. I think it would have been kind and steady and lots of "are you ok"s and "I'm sorry"s and "talk to me"s. Everything about Feysand feels rushed and hard and fast and the rest of the world doesn't have time to catch up. It's fucking exhausting to read it ya know what I'm saying.

(also can we talk about Rhysand like dying and Feyre finding the suriel and learning he's her mate and then instead of being like "k let's put a pin in that and fuckin save his life first" she like throws him around and everyone is like "wtf woman" and she's like I neeD tO Be alOnE these people have no idea how to prioritize)

Truly, I think it's innocent to a degree. There is absolutely no harm in wanting people to like your character. The harm comes when you destroy another character with no reason or explanation other than you want people to like a different character. Villain arc? Completely out of left field. You gotta build to that shit or like... Make it so that when you look back you slap your forehead and yell at a wall "OF FUCKING COURSE I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT"

anyways, SJm treat "ugly" trauma with respect challenge SECONDED.

WELL IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME WEEKS YO WRITE IM HAVING A HARD TIME I know it probably doesn't make any sense I can't find my braincells BUT thanks for the ask @xelly

Tell me all your acotar things I love yo hear them !!
