I was wondering if you would do a one shot of twisted wonderland for a potion mishap, where Yuu turns into a child. The reason I asked this because in your version of Yuu she was robbed of a childhood. I would like to see Yuu enjoy being a kids and the Twisted Wonderland cast act as older brothers or dads in some cases (that means you Trey and Crewel.)

Since my Yuu is the same as the Reader Insert I first created for my BNHA fics, I have received this type of request many times in the past since I've written fics where I've deaged others but I never did it with her, and because of her lack of a proper childhood, she's the one who could benefit from getting turned into a child more than anyone.

The reason I've never written such a fic is because I am not confident about writing from a child's POV since kids can be kinda hard for me to write especially if I'm actually getting into their heads which I would have to do cause I prefer to write from 2nd person POV.

Another problem is that meeting a child Yuu would raise a lot of worrisome questions to anyone who sees her cause her unfortunate upbringing would be pretty obvious just from interacting with her since she'd be wary of all aduts, skittish, really quiet, and would just overall not act like anyone would expect a normal kid to act.

It would honestly be a really awkward situation since Yuu wouldn't trust anyone and she'd just wanna hide away rather than deal with anyone since, to her, there's always the risk that someone will hurt her, which would obviously be very heartbreaking for a lot of people.

Since I'd rather not have Yuu have to deal with the aftermath of that, I'm very reluctant to write that kinda fic since I really don't want everyone to find out about her past.

In order to avoid that, Yuu would have to be younger than she was before she ended up in Japan's underworld so 3 years old or younger and I'm really not confident about writing from that young a POV lol

That's why the only way I could see myself writing a deaged Yuu fic is if Yuu was only physically a kid aka her mental state remains unchanged since that would make it so that she can avoid raising a lot of unwanted questions.

Or I'd make it so that her mental state is that of a child but at the same time she's still aware of her circumstances and who everyone is so she can avoid doing or saying suspicious things so like she tries to act normal but will suddenly be overcome with the urge to do something a kid would do like wanting to go play and run around.

The latter could be doable for me, so I would consider possibly writing a fic like that one day, although I can't make any promises.

Regardless of what kinda deaged state she ends up in, plenty of the TWST boys would wanna dote on her, and that would definitely be the case for all the adults, Crewel and Sam especially lol

Trey would absolutely be the #1 big bro contender cause of his experience and cause he knows she didn't have much of a childhood due to her being similar to Riddle in his eyes, so he would spoil her as much as possible haha

I agree that Yuu deserves a chance to be a kid, and I'm sure it'd be a lot of fun to write her getting spoiled, so I will keep this idea in mind ^^

[yanderes-galore]

Can you do romantic yandere!Professor Laventon headcanons please?

Ironically I see him more as platonic, while Turo I got as platonic despite me leaning more towards romantic with him. I just thought that was really funny, lol. Sure! I'll see what I got :)

Yandere! Professor Laventon Concept

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Guilt tripping, Manipulation, Paranoia, Clingy behavior, Isolation mention, Oh wow the relationship is mutual.

Laventon has a very welcoming personality, coming off as friendly and hardworking.

Perhaps your fate is similar to the main characters of Legends: Arceus?

Except this time you're an adut given the task of seeing every Pokemon or something.

You go through the typical Legends: Arceus story, Laventon taking you in to the village and being nothing but kind to you.

He's such a caring man to you, along with the two young teens Akari and Rei.

Ever since he took you into the village he's spent time with you.

You help him piece together the Pokedex with him using info you obtained along with info from Akari and Rei.

Laventon slowly starts to see you as something more than a friend he introduced to the village.

You only solidify such feelings when you made a comment one time.

You watched as Laventon tended to Akari/Rei after being hurt in the field.

He's taking care of them and reassuring them it's okay.

He only stops when you speak to him.

"You'd be such a great father with how you take care of those two."

You laugh at the end of the affectionate comment, not catching how much his face heated up at that.

Oh the poor man is ruined after that.

That one comment only encouraged his obsession.

Mostly because he feels you both take care of the two young teens well...

The mannerisims between the four of you scream family.

He secretly adores the idea of you two being parental figures to Akari and Rei.

When you're away, Laventon is busy in his lab.

He knows he should be putting together the newest research... but he's so invested in updating this journal he has of you instead.

He uses the excuse that he's so scatterbrained he has trouble putting the research together.

When in reality he's writing down your favorite flowers, favorite Pokemon, and everything you like.

He loves to see the smile on your face when he gives you something you like.

Sometimes you stick around the lab to help him actually work on the Pokedex.

You have no idea why he's having so mucn trouble working alone lately?

Or why he can't keep his eyes off you while you help him.

Laventon seems to be the type who's hesitant to start a relationship at first.

If you really were from a diiferent dimension, it'll only make things harder.

However... when he feels brave enough to ask you to be his, he'll make it perfect.

He's doing research into what will really make your heart flutter.

He even asks Akari/Rei about what you like.

Based on how he acts when questioning them, it's clear he has strong feelings for you.

It's up to you if him giving you your favorite Pokemon, flowers, and food on the day he asks you to be his is endearing or creepy.

How'd he know all this so fast?

Laventon is not a yandere to be jealous to the point of harm.

In fact, he's rather calm.

The more toxic traits of his are his clingy/needy behavior and him being protective.

For example, he doesn't like you on expeditions due to how dangerous Pokemon are.

He's scared he'll lose you in a world as wild as Hisui-

Other than him trying to keep you in the village... he's really sweet.

He does his best to be the best boyfriend for you.

He loves to hold you... to kiss you...

He also encourages you to help him take care of the two young teens.

Laventon probably has fantasies of starting a family with you.

Even if you can't have kids, Akari and Rei are enough aren't they?

There's not a hint of possession in this man, making him rather tame.

The biggest issue is just his paranoia over your safety.

Even with Pokemon partners, the world is still dangerous.

He'd rather you stay in the lab with him...

That way you both can work on the Pokedex without the danger!

He seems too gentle and friendly to be a very intense yandere-

He wants the best for you and to keep you safe.

It may cause fights if you refuse to stay with him and run into danger, maybe?

If you got hurt... then he locks things down.

He tries to guilt/force you into staying in the village with him.

You got hurt out there.

What if he never found you!?

Overall, Laventon is a yandere who cares for your safety and happiness above all else.

He'd defend and protect you no matter what...

Even if it includes stalking and isolation.

[lyonnns]

You're a busy woman, cate...i won't take too much offence. I just feel like i'd be afraid to mess with perfection, in this case, i imagine your closet is. Now, i know you're a woman who enjoy's a good jumpsuit as much as i do, so if i ever do manage to even get the home decor part of my show back, i've gotta know how skilled you are with a paint brush ⸻ I'd only met them all a few weeks and we were already vacationing together...so you can imagine the time apart between filming is a much needed dynamic, so me anyway. I love these woman, but god do i also love my peace. aha, even mom's need their peace. well; they're a fiery bunch and as i much as i personally try stay away from it - you get dragged into that drama department, to which, can confirm a little more tension this season. Now, we haven’t lived up to the ladie's who came before us, there hasn't been any chairs or drinks thrown...yet. Just call me frankenstein, cause that's the type of monster i'll happily create. You've got until October 1st, since i, think you're in need of a little tlc couch time. You just take your journalism to the next level, so engaging. I kinda wanna know the cate that does occasionally get to sit on the couch and what she may tune into or maybe perhaps read ? I just know i've only seen like 10% of your world. - we dated, she knew i was curious and we very much laid down what was happening...so those feelings i had turned into more "i wanted this" in terms of just being with a woman, you know ? It was a few month's after that i got into my actual first relationship with a woman which lasted six years; i do find the losing that best friend part of the heartbreak crushing...but something i wouldn't regret, like you said, it was always a satisfying situation. But we just wanted different things, something that get's rather complicated after so many years. I wanna sway the question vibe and ask, since i didn't entirely come out till later in life, what was your first experience with a woman ? how young were you ? Is it fair to ask which beverage gets you braver the quickest ? i'm taking notes ; you want me to hand write it out so you can stick to your fridge ? i'm honoured to be the best review so far. All that training paid off, just wow. How was your kids reaction to their newly action momma ? you could be playing a frog and i'd happily accept the invitation, a spy is just Inevitability sexier. I'm just picturing jame's bonds era. & I've got a house up in the hampton's so i'm here with some family an my son for a few days....so sadly no consenting wild adut evenings, i'll keep that for a later date. I'll have to make sure that invite makes it to you -- i'll send that agent of yours a convincing voice note/email if need's be, cause you, need some down time. Where do you possibly see yourself off to if that wish comes true ? are you a hot or cold lady ?

it sounds insane!! you've been doing this for a long time and I don't know why I never noticed. you even had your own show? if you eger get it back, i'd like to be one of your guests, one of those ladies who change their closet and fix their problems with it. I understand, and I guess that after spending a lot of time together when you're filming, you need some time away from each other. That's what happens to me, even with my kids. Kidding... kinda. So, in the show is there a lot of drama? arguments and all these things? i'm really hoping to have some time off so i can lay in my couch and watch the whole season you're in, i need to catch up before the new one starts, don't you think so? probably, you're in the process of creating a monster and i will become addict to this reality? if that's the case. I apologize in advance for the woman i'm about to be. And of course you can ask anything you want, you're answering all my questions so i owe it to you. —I'll keep going with my questions, you've awoken my curiosity about your life story, it's so interesting!! Gosh! so you started feeling these new things for that friend? did you end up with her? was it a long relationship? I kinda know about these experiences where you're best friends with someone and suddenly it becomes something else. it's really fun and satisfactory until it stops working as it used to be and then you turn back, and you don't have your best friend and you don't have your lover either. it sucks but it's soooo good while it lasts. what happened with you? how did it end? —Let me think, probably I'll start sharing the whole story after the fifth drink, i need to get brave and shameless to share that part of my life and marriage. and god, no! no I don't have any kind of list but thank you for thinking that. —Holy fuck! this is the best review i've seen so far and probably the only good one!! so thank you! thank you! it was fun, a lot of training, to do that but i did this for my kids and it helped to become the action star i always wanted to be. now you have to come and see me as a spy! it's a deal here! okay? —I'm a little bit jealous, you're vacationing? where are you going? with your son or is it gonna be a trip for adults with content for adults? —In my case, i'm working, some promotion and getting ready for some film festivals next month but maybe i'd take a weekend off and going somewhere. not sure yet and i know i'll have to convince my agent to set me free for a few days.

Blogging, Vlogging, Reeling and the Public Sphere

Sapo: Why do we need so many platforms to express ourselves to the public?

1. Public Sphere

‘Public Sphere’ is the term that was first developed by German philosopher Habermas in the 1990s and is considered as a dominant concept in modern social science research. ‘Public Sphere’ can be known as ‘a realm of our social life in which such a thing as public opinion can be formed’ (Adut 2012). Lots of criticism and debates have been conveyed around this concept. Another contemporary definition from Kruse (2018) says ‘public sphere is a place where private people come together as a public for the purpose of using reason to further critical knowledge which, in turn, leads to political change.’ And in modern society, the public sphere is an important concept that has connection with other realms: the socio-political sphere, the socio-economic sphere and the socio-cultural sphere (Fuchs 2014). These play crucial roles in contemporary communication. This concept seems to be more complicated in the age of social media. Micro communities on social media platforms are now the potential form of one public sphere. Since the studies of the concept of public sphere is complex and social media development is different from the traditional communication form, there are still several arguments and questions about this. 

2. Blogging and Tumblr

Blogging was a common communication tool in the 1990s and 2000s. In its brief history, blogging culture has developed into many branches, resonating with the increase of social media. Tumblr just appeared at the right time, and became a phenomenon in this socio-cultural flow. 

Apart from Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc. Tumblr stands out for its affordances among the young adults. Established in 2007 and has a long history with a lot of business deals, Tumblr is still one of the most popular social media for the young since it utilizes short-blogging and diverse content. Tumblr used to be biased as it allowed NSFW content and easy censorship policy. However, in 2018, the platform will no longer accept sensitive content due to new child safeguarding policies.

As the slogan ‘fandom, art, chaos’, Tumblr aims at aestheticism, focuses on building community for young people to express themselves. Tumblr affordances provide users a safe place on the Internet. Tumblr was born at the perfect time and had its own peak before other multimedia forms of social media emerged, such as short videos. Even if Tumblr is no longer the field's pioneer, it has been regarded as a major case study for research into digital community development because it highlighted the features of digital public sphere involvement. 

3. The ‘third place theory’ and social media

Third places, initially conceived as physical realms, offer accessible havens where people can gather and enjoy each other's company beyond the confines of home and office (Parkinson, Schuster & Mulcahy 2021). These spaces not only contribute to individual well-being and a sense of belonging but also foster stronger community bonds through social interactions (Parkinson, Schuster & Mulcahy 2021). When the definition of digital third place appears, there is much research that has figured out the differences between the physical and digital one.

The notion of digital third places, which includes social media, has become increasingly familiar. Various features of social media platforms enable individuals and communities to express themselves in diverse ways. Each platform may cultivate unique perceptions and characteristics. Does this proliferation of 'third places' suggest that we are increasingly inhabiting a multitude of digital realms, spending less time in physical spaces but investing more in presenting different facets of ourselves online?
