in internet posts it is easy to cut them out of your life. they are hurting you! they aren't listening to you!
they held your hair back. they lent you lipstick. they held your hand at the train station and got you home safe. they rounded on your bully, got loud, said get fucked, spitting-mad in your defense.
they also cut the hair off again. told you that you should really think twice before wearing something like that. took you for granted. took your insecurities and threw them in your face again.
you know logically it should be easy. all the internet advice comments always read it will feel better. like an equation - if a person is rotten, you just remove them. you pull the tooth that's hurting.
but it was never a big flare-up moment. you don't live in a sitcom. they never tried to take your boyfriend or steal from your apartment. they showed up to birthdays and they wrote songs about you and bring you water without you asking. once you found out they carry an emergency inhaler for you, even though you haven't had an asthma attack in years - just in case.
where is the line? people fuck up. sometimes they fuck up badly. sometimes people have raw personalities, like a powerline, and being around them is dangerous. addicting. sometimes they can't help themselves, but you know they're trying. sometimes they are just rough-around-the-edges. sometimes they don't even realize how they sounded when they said that. sometimes it's just - you've both loved each other for so long now, the way this thing hurts goes back to the root.
and that's the fucked up part. you have pushed your fingers against the sweetheart of memory. things these days are electric, tense, harrowing. they didn't used to be. there were a lot of good days in there. sometimes you want to just close your eyes and say can this be over yet? do we still need to be fighting?
doing that would give up any chance you get of getting an apology, but you don't always know that you need an apology, you love them. once they flaked on your birthday party. once they told you to get over it, people are always dying. they also let you crash on their couch for a week after the breakup, handfeeding you when you were so sad you couldn't eat. they are also judgmental about everything, occasionally react to banal statements with an attitude that is weird and fiery. they also love you like a lighthouse sometimes, so strong they cut the storm like lightning.
but the problem is that you might be storm. you might be the thing that needs breaking. what if you are two forces who are desperately, horribly drawn to each other, shaped by the other person's passions, and both good for each other and bad in equal measure.
what if you're both just people, and you're no saint neither.
just cut them off! swallowing the saltwater, you catch yourself in the mirror. you've been shaking more than usual. there's an ache in you that is oblique, loud, impossible to soothe. is this what it looks like? when life is "easier"?
your mouth will always have a hole, is the thing, if you remove the tooth.

hii . might be a strange question but can u explain the appeal of detz to me. like, i have a req i may or may not do but i just. dont really get it? and i dont want to just draw ship art with no flavor. and ur also the fedex guy i think. thank you :)
Wait /I'm/ the fedex guy? I mean to me @/kamikothe1and0nly is the fedex guy but sure. Why not? I definitely have a lot of thoughts about them (my one single brain cell is almost constantly microwaving them), I just sometimes forget that people are aware that I exist. I apologize in advance if this gets long.
You might want to scroll through @/askdetz as well, although there's a story on there that's been going on since I want to say March? so reverse chronological might not be your friend but yeah. Good source right there. @/kale-of-the-forbidden-cities also has a fedex mermaid au so that might be another source if this post is insufficient.
For me, I think the reason I first got into it was because I liked the name. Ship it like fedex is just absolutely iconic. And also I project onto Dex. A lot. I used to have an obsession with finding 7-up trucks when I was younger so I think it was meant to be but that's up for debate.
Canonically, we see Dex and Fitz going from--I don't like to call them enemies because it was certainly one-sided on Dex's side. He was sooo mad. For reasons. Probably gay ones but he isn't aware of that. but sort of enemies--to friends. These scenes are just about the only things in the books I remember some days and we don't even get to see the one in neverseen where they agree to be friends. Nevertheless, a "enemies" to friends to lovers arc definitely is something that Is fun to play with in fics. Also this might be the aromanticism talking, but that kind of arc does require a certain amount of slowburn and I need that to believe anything.
Dex and Fitz are also foils of each other, especially in the first few books. While Fitz is perfect, Dex is the imperfect son of a bad match, and that contrast is just so, so fun.
But it's not just a case of opposites attract. Just like how kam works, they've got a whole bunch in common. We know that Fitz is the top of his class, so he is more than likely a giant nerd. We also know that Dex is a technopath (and I project onto him) so he's also more than likely a giant nerd. While they have different skill sets--I assign Dex all the stem stuff and Fitz the history and english stuff--they're absolutely going to be listening to each other infodumping about the new thing they learned this week and the listening one doesn't understand any of it. Adore that for them.
They're also angry little assholes in canon despite what fanon wants to do to Dex. Anger (especially at society) is a trait that I enjoy in my blorbos.
It's also very easy to write them to be extraordinarily oblivious to everything. And that's always fun. Fitz is going to be oblivious (even to his own feelings) as a requirement to participate in society and Dex isn't going to believe that Fitzroy Vacker knows that he exists.
And then as the brant guy I'm sure you understand how society making a relationship difficult is a fun concept and Fedex has that too. Them dating would be an automatic bad match and the fact that Fitz has to carry around his family's legacy is something I think about. A lot. Probably too much.
If you have any more specific questions just let me know. I may be forced to paint today so it might be a couple of hours before I see anything but I will answer any questions. Eventually.
Tldr: they're my idiots, your honor :)

niku baby for ur ask games !!!
• fic ideas: i am interested 😳🫣 and would be flattered 😳🫣 if u would write anything that u think belongs/relates to the col universe 🫣😳
• fruit!!!: 🍒 (besides enemies to lovers aksnsjbs), 🍏, 🍈
SELLLL THANKOOO.
okay okay. when i remember that col idea i had i will scribble it down and send it to you LMAO. I PROMMY.
What’s your favorite character dynamic to write? (Can be romantic or platonic, specific or general!)
OTHER THAN ENEMIES TO LOVERS??? Does this include the bickering that comes with enemies to lovers? I can do that in platonic friendship flavor and just regular flavor. Most of my character dynamic kinda writing is probably really from dialogue tbh... I just... anytime someone is a smartass I like writing it LMAO.
Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?
i thought about this while responding to your comment on fall apart— i really overuse... unconventional things (particularly eyes and names) as weapons. it's very fun.
Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.
Is this your way of getting me to talk about Gojo???? I feel like I subscribe to a number of accepted fanon opinions I guess, like he uses skincare and is low key obsessed with reader. So it's hard to say what is my own headcanon/idea. But I do like to think that he kind of goes into auto-pilot when he gets flustered and acts as annoying as possible in that given moment to hide that he's all flustered (so in the cream puff fic when he shoves cream puffs in reader's mouth and then there's another scene in a fic i have yet to write where... well, I don't wanna spoil that LMAO) .

i think i havent even given a review for chapter 6 and 7 so here we goooooooo....................
ch 6 - its so funny how mc is so aware of the guys and feels silly and stupid for being around them. shes trying so hard to put space between them but they have no idea what personal space is. but at the same time they arent overbearing honestly. bless them.
interesting........... mc tries so hard to go unnoticed....... and YET! the bulbasaur man remembers her from a year ago and team K wants her for some reason. also he has an idea of why they want her.... so suspisious and im just dying to know
seungmin and his daughter 😂😂😂😂 i love it
if felix doesnt think its credit card fraud.... then im pretty sure it is credit card fraud
me wondering whats worse than ryujins dad or team k knocking on the door....... yeah i can see how chan standing at the doorway like a parent can be considered worse. he probably knocks on the door like a parent too.
ah yes she doesnt want them gone but she doesnt want to say that she enjoys their company and is grateful for them. i love lack of communication <3!!!!!!!!! shes been too lonely for to long and i FELT that.
mc didnt know the future but she truly played matchmaker by rooming with hyunjin and jisung. she did that. she orchestrated their lil enemies to lovers arc. good for her.
ch 7 - ah yes the two ocean boys trying to sweep mc up into going with the flow. very good stuff. love that.
food stand guy being impressed by mc's game.... yeah me too
its really endearing that the pokemon love jisung that much. i mean he is loveable. i wanna walk down the beach holding his hand too and looking at his cute face with his dumbass smile
ur friend mica is living her best life here banging lee know in the pokemon universe. good for her. she made it.
mc didnt take out the popcorn for the shenanigans that went down between the 3 of them BUT I SURE DID. i loved it. it was lighthearted it was casual but it was wholesome in its own way. jisung and hyunjin.......... so good.
but the real question..... how is this going to change the group dynamic........???? how are other 5 going to feel????? i feel like lee know and seungmin do not give two fucks actually lmaooo changbin is probably like MY TURN WHEN?? idk about felix and jeongin i cant really get a read on them............. idk about yall i just wanna see chans reaction and have a good laugh. i talk about chan like i hate him but i dont, i love him. i just like to see my blorbo suffer a lil bit. for character development.
im excited to see them battle tho. its gonna be fun me thinks and hopefully we find about team k sooooooonnnnnn................ i wanna know this drama i wanna know the secrets
another question... how come there are no file leaks for team k?
i literally can't believe how well you've hit on all the intended points...actually kind of floored-
that is mc's biggest conflict, huh? she wants to be detached, she doesn't think she should get close to people, but then she makes an impression anyway. people remember her. maybe it matters more than she thinks, to just...be nice, and be herself. idk maybe that's important 🤔👁
if felix doesnt think its credit card fraud.... then im pretty sure it is credit card fraud
cannot confirm nor deny that it Is just fraud 🤐💀
and as for the lack of file leaks on team k...why would anyone leak files on themselves? 🤐🤐
