Spice tolerance of the muses!
Jaspern: He's okay with some spice, but once it starts getting to the point of being numbing, he doesn't really care for it. 2.5/5
JJ: He's good with his spice! Doesn't eat it all the time, which makes people think he's a baby about spice, only for them to be proved horribly, horribly wrong, later. 4/5
Ber: Okay with spice on certain foods, but decidedly not on others. Ex. Back of the mouth spicy is fine, but tip of the tongue spicy, not so much. 3/5.
Melchior: He actually can't handle much spice, but it's because lots of spice makes his venom especially potent, and it'll start burning his skin, etc. Not a fun time, so he just tends to avoid really spicy and really acidic foods. 1/5. If his venom weren't a problem, he'd be a solid 5/5, for sure.
Orin: They're naturally a spice baby? They want to like it though, and so they've managed to, over time, raise their tolerance to a 2/5.
Vanyllo: Most spice will have him choking immediately. And before you give him shit about it, he wants you to tell him what spicy food you can find under the damn ocean! Yeah. He thought so! 0/5
Darrow: He's better with spicy foods than you would think, though he'll be the first to admit that he doesn't eat them too often. It's one of those things he has to be in the mood for. 3.5/5. Maybe 4/5 on a good day.
Eleare: Do they look like a masochist to you? No. (and if you said yes, they give you the finger. it's okay though. I also said yes) Get that spicy shit out of their face, they're here for flavor, not a sensory fist fight with their noodles, thank you. 2/5.
Sivel: He's asking why the food hurts, ("Was it made incorrectly? What? It's supposed to be like this? For what reason?") but he's still eating it. Would quickly decide that he likes it, even if he's a little confused by it. 5/5
Alsina: Not as much of a fan as Sivel is. She'll eat it, but only if it's not just spicy. 3.5/5. She also wouldn't eat spicy food willingly, unless it's one of the only things available, or a friend made it for her.
Zikiriel: Spicy isn't actually something an angel can taste/feel (kind of like a bird, their bodies just don't process the capsaicin), so he's technically disqualified from this list! Man could put a whole apollo pepper in his mouth, and be totally fine. infinity/5
Pythius: Can't actually handle spicy food as well as you might think. Like the "slow to build, lingers a while" type of heat, though. 2.5/5
Death: Where Death grew up is known for having all kinds of different spicy foods! Honestly they probably have the highest tolerance of all the muses, with Pereux, Sivel, and Ezra being close behind? (Zi doesn't count) 6/5.
Aile: Spicy food is fine. He's the type that likes at least a little heat on everything he eats, but sticks toward the more dry type spiciness. 4/5.
Ouza: Another that's disqualified. Angels can't process capsaicin. No, not even fallen angels. (though that would be really funny. angel gets cast out and hit with the spicy hammer immediately) Just know that if he could, he would 100% be a spice baby. Sorry Ouza. infinity/5
Baphomet: Surprisingly, can not handle spice well. But he likes to act like he can, so sometimes he'll eat things spicier than he can handle just because. 1/5. Will pretend to be a 3/5 even as he's sweating and red-faced.
Ezzion: Doesn't like spicy food, but can tolerate some. Catch them getting a jalapeno that had been hidden on their nachos, and they're making a very displeased face, even if it's not actually bad. They do like spicy pickled peppers, though! 2/5
Felesio: He's fine with it. A lot of the "higher class/status" denizens of Carpathia, who eat regular food more often along with blood (even if they literally don't gain anything from regular food. rich people, man.) tend to eat spicy food fairly often. Why? I have no clue, they think it looks good for some reason. Either way, Fele, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, handles it fine, and likes to indulge in it on occasion. 4/5.
Jinnea: Jinnie, unlike Fele, didn't grow up eating regular food at all, so she doesn't tolerate spicy food that well. Most of the time, if she gets something like that, she just gives it to her husband. 1/5.
Ezra: 5/5. We'll just get that out of the way right out the gate. You might think it's because he's a nephilim, so that would mean that his capacity for tasting/feeling spice like that would be lower. And you're right, it does! But even when he's reincarnated into a life that he's not an angel/half angel, he just inhales spicy food like his life depends on it. I dunno, man. I dunno.
Nirbhi: Moderate spice tolerance. 3/5. She really likes spicy food that has more citrus-y notes that go along with it.
Pereux: Another 5/5. She actually used to just kind of be able to tolerate it, thanks to not really experiencing much of it when she was younger (1 or 2/5 maybe). She's grown much more fond of it over the ages, though!
Niesal: They're not gonna eat spicy food by itself, even if they tolerate it well. Give them some rice or something to eat with it, though, and they're all for it! 4/5
Zeqyabin: Variable. Sometimes it's a 1/5, sometimes it's a 4/5. You would think it depends on the spice type, but I think it's more a mood thing? Who knows, with him.
Tarinx: Similar to the angels, but instead of just not being able to taste/feel spice, Irekoli like him just have a really dull sense of taste, overall. So he kind of has the opposite problem, where if he's eating something spicy, that's generally the only thing that he can "taste" (since spicy is technically a feeling, as opposed to a flavor), and is met with instant dislike. 0/5.
#(tumblr doesn't like when I try to slap all the tags on this#and this will have been my 3rd time trying to type all of the tags so like...we're gonna do this instead)#(I stole the idea from Kris because I thought it was funny and I enjoyed it)#[It's how we are -All Muses-]

Summary: Your friendship with Eren is taken to the next level. You have a sweet dream that turns into a nightmare. Eren tells his parents that he is considering changing his major. Author’s Note: What do we think of this chapter? I know it’s a bit of a slow burn, so I appreciate you sticking with this! Likes, comments, and/or reblogs are always appreciated. If you want to be tagged in the next chapter(s), please let me know! Divider created by @/mikeykuns.
You press firmly on the strings of the guitar, stretching your pinky as far as you can to reach whatever note Eren instructed you to. With a gentle strum, you play the chord. Well, sort of. It definitely doesn’t sound the way it did when he showed you. You drop your head, sighing. “Okay, it’s official. I suck at guitar.”
Eren sits crossed legged in front of you. “You don’t. Try again,” he encourages, a small smile on his face.
“I can’t get my hands to bend the right way!” You hold your palm out in front of him, twisting your fingers in all types of misshapen claw formations. “Admit it. I suck.”
“You don’t suck.”
“It’s okay, I’ve accepted it! And as my mentor, you should too. Say it.”
“I will not,” he refuses, folding his arms over his chest, smirking.
“C’mon, Eren! Look,” You play the broken chord again, louder this time, trying to prove a point. “See?! Say it!”
He chuckles, responding quietly, “Okay, maybe you do suck at this. Just a little bit,” pinching a small space of air between his thumb and index finger.
You set the guitar back on its stand, laughing. “Ha! I knew it. This tells me that I should leave this to the professionals.” You grin at him, hugging your knees to your chest as you sit across from him on the carpeted floor.
Ever since the game-night Eren hosted a few weeks ago, the two of you have grown closer. More often now, you find yourself in his room, chatting about life, listening to each other vent, watching a movie, or indulging in his wonderful guitar skills. He even attempted to teach you the stringed instrument; the key word being attempted. Being with him makes you almost forget the misery that you suffered at the beginning of this semester. Almost.
Reiner remains relentless in his efforts to contact you. While you’ve managed to avoid any personal confrontations ever since the last one outside your dorm, he hasn’t stopped reaching out through text. A few times throughout the week, he’ll call you, leaving a short message that’s along the lines of, “Hey, it’s me again. Call me when you’re ready to talk.” You never pick up, nor respond, and still, he tries.
You wish you were unfazed by it, but parts of you cling to the past. Deep down, it pains you to ignore him. Sometimes, you see him as Reiner, your best friend, the kid you grew up with. Protecting you on the playground, confiding in you during his lowest moments, picking you up during yours. And as much as you want to preserve those memories of him like a delicate treasure, one bad breakup is enough to shatter it. To make you realize that maybe the two of you should have stayed friends all along, and nothing more.
Surprisingly, you’ve been able to talk about this easily with Eren. Annie has always been your main confidant throughout, but her less than gentle approach sometimes leaves you defeated, as if you’re wrong for having these conflicted feelings for your ex. As much as you’d like to be completely, one hundred percent over him, it isn’t that simple. And with Eren, he understands that. Having no stakes in it, or knowing who Reiner is, he listens to your inner turmoil without judgment. He makes you feel normal.
He's been opening up to you, too, sharing his on-going struggles with his pre-med major and the impossible expectations of his father. He maintains that pleasant smile on his face, despite being crushed by whatever weight that’s been forced on him from an early age. A victim of suffering he’s been subjected to inherit, without any say. It’s his father’s burden that was passed on to him, to continue whatever legacy he thinks will help the world. Dr. Jaeger is always looking out for the greater good of society, never about his own family.
It’s been nice confiding in each other, not having to hold back for the sake of each other’s feelings. When you were with Reiner, you always had to be extra cautious around him, wanting to avoid saying anything that might hurt him. In Eren’s case, he’s never been able to be honest with his father. While he has his mother, he can’t always be completely honest with her, not wanting to cause any rift amongst his parents.
Eren is actually considering changing his major. He’s been in contact with Erwin Smith, getting an idea of what the process would look like. The senior has been more than helpful, alleviating any concerns he might have about the transition, even setting up a time to meet with his father, who works as a teacher at a nearby elementary school. Still, he’s apprehensive to make the final step, as expected. It’s a big decision, one that changes the course of his future. It might cause drama between him and his family. No matter what he ends up deciding, you’ve made it clear that you’ll support him through and through.
You check your phone for the time. “It’s getting late. I should probably head back to my room now before Annie gets worried.”
He chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah, wouldn’t want her getting an ideas about us.”
“Oh, believe me, she already has. She’s convinced we’re dating,” you say, standing up.
He follows, stepping towards the door, fingers at the handle. “How scandalous! I can picture the headlines now: Anxiety-ridden RA whisks beautiful resident off her feet to run away into the sunset together.”
You beam at him. “Now that’s a story I’d love to read.”
He smiles back. “Me too.”
Recently, there’s been a shift in energy between you two. There’s no denying it: you are attracted to him, both to his magnetic personality and his charming looks. But there’s this everlasting guilt in the pit of your stomach, preventing you from pursuing anything romantic with him. Simply imagining it brings you shame, like it’s inappropriate to think about. Obviously, you and Reiner are over, maybe for good. And you’re almost certain he’s been with other women since, at least, that’s what your self-conscious mind theorizes. So what’s stopping you? Is it fear? Fear of working hard at another relationship, only for it to crumble before your feet, like it did with your ex? You can’t take any more heartache. It’s easier to avoid it all together.
As you’ve said before, the easier road isn’t always better. And the optimistic, love-sick fool in you believes there’s a chance at a happy ending, this time with Eren instead of Reiner. It’s new, foreign territory, a journey filled with the unknown. Is it worth the risk?
For now, you keep these thoughts buried in the back of your mind. You value your friendship with Eren, enough to not ruin it. Besides, you’re unsure how he feels about you. Maybe you’re better off as friends and nothing more, just as it should have been with Reiner. And while this hurts to realize, it’s better for everyone in the long run. There’s no room for heartbreak if you don’t give your heart to anyone. It’s that simple, right?
He holds open the door for you, leaning against the frame. “Sweet dreams.”
“You always say that,” you giggle.
“Well, that’s because I mean it. I really hope you have some seriously sweet dreams tonight.”
You step out into the hall slowly. “Thanks, Mr. RA. I wish the same for you, too. Goodnight.” With a final wave, you head into your room, cheeks pleasantly warm with a bright smile on your face.
~~~
“You’re beautiful.”
Eren lays beside you in bed, cupping your face in his hand, thumb brushing delicately along your cheekbone. He leans closer, lips brushing yours into a gentle kiss. A rush of heat radiates to every inch of your skin, electricity buzzing through your veins. “I want you to feel good,” he whispers, mouth grazing your ear, fingers sliding down your throat and to your chest, resting his palm over your heart. You hold your breath as he touches you, nervous to be vulnerable with him.
Sensing this trepidation, he pulls away to look at you, tipping your chin towards him to meet his gaze. With a comforting smile, he says, “It’s okay. You’re safe with me.”
And you believe him. At his words, you’re at ease, letting his hands caress your body, stripping you naked. He scatters kisses on your neck, trailing down your stomach, slowly making his way between your thighs. Peering up at you, he asks, “Can I taste you?”
You nod, eager to feel his tongue on you.
He latches his lip on your arousal, licking and slurping at your clit. Your fingers are bunched in his hair, feeling his head thrash side-to-side against your pussy.
“Fuck, Eren. Feels so good,” you moan, indulging in the pleasure.
At the mention of his name, he suddenly stops. When he raises his head to look at you, it’s Reiner. He crawls up to face you, nose-to-nose, sneering. “How could you do this to me, Coco? Cheating on me with your fucking RA? You fucking bitch.”
You stare at him, wide-eyed and in shock, limbs rigid at your sides, unable to move. You’re trapped beneath him, the air growing thin, making it difficult to breath. As you suffocate, he grabs your face in a rough grasp, seething the words, “Cheater, cheater, cheater” over and over again…
You wake up with sweat beading on your forehead, blanket twisted around your limbs. Guilt weighs heavily on your chest as you take deep breaths to calm down. It was a dream, thankfully. Reiner’s never called you a bitch before. It was the worst version of him your mind could think of in the form of a nightmare.
Sitting up in bed, wiping the perspiration from your face, you recall Eren’s uncanny farewell to you hours earlier. It definitely started as a sweet dream; the idea of you and Eren being intimate with each other has you flustered. All the times you’ve been alone with him in his room, elbows grazing, hands brushing, the shared looks that last seconds longer than they need to. It’s a leap of faith, to cross that line. And fear is what holds you back. Fear of failure, of falling in love to only stumble out of it again. Fear and guilt. It’s silly to feel guilty about it, especially since you’re the one who got your heart broken. But nightmare Reiner calling you a bitch and a cheater haunts you.
You lay back down in bed, fitting your head comfortably in your pillow. It takes a while longer for you to fall asleep; eventually, you do. And deep down, you’re disappointed when you don’t have another dream about Eren.
~~~
Eren sits in an alcove on his favorite beach, watching the sunset on the horizon. He managed to catch this beautiful sight before he has to meet his parents for dinner. It’s their semi-annual visit; his father managed to squeeze him in on his very busy schedule. Lucky him.
He takes this time to lose himself, pretend that it’s just him and the sea, basking in the day’s last moments of sunshine. It’s too pretty to indulge in all alone. Suddenly, he has the urge to share this with someone else. Without thinking, he scrolls through his contacts, finding the one person he wants to talk to. The resident from Room 104. His friend.
It takes two rings until she answers. “Hey, are you okay?”
He smiles to himself, amused at her immediate concern. He realizes now that he’s never actually called her before. They’ve texted plenty, exchanged funny tweets, greeted each other good mornings and goodnights. But to hear her in his ear, as if she’s sitting beside him, feels right. “Yeah, I’m fine. I just called to say hi.”
There’s a beat before she responds with a simple, “Hi.” He can practically hear the rounded cheeks on her face. His chest swells, happy he decided to dial her number. “Where are you right now?” she asks.
“I’m watching the sunset on the beach,” he replies, wiggling his toes into the sand.
“Really?”
“Yeah. It’s beautiful here. It puts my mind at ease.” He wants to add that her soothing voice has the same effect; he decides to keep that to himself.
She hums. “Sounds like paradise. Where is this, exactly?”
“It’s my super-secret spot. No one knows about it, not even Armin or Mikasa. You have to be really special to know about it.”
She laughs. “I guess I’ll have to charm it out of you, then.”
Too late. He unsure exactly when it started, but lately, Eren has been seeing her in a different light. From the first time they met, even though snot and tears as she cried over her ex because of a cupcake, he was drawn to her. In a weird way, he felt a connection; she’s going through her own struggles like he is. Everyone around him is having a fabulous time, nailing their classes, partying like there’s no tomorrow. And he never resented his friends for enjoying their college experience. He felt left out. Different.
And maybe it’s true: misery really does love company. However, being with her is far from miserable. Although they confess to one another their strife in life, it’s cathartic, like a cumbersome burden gradually easing away. When they’re not complaining about annoying exes or overbearing parents, they’re sharing new memories together, learning more about each other, solidifying that bond. That connection.
He likes her, enjoys being around her. Sacrifices precious study time to teach her guitar, though she really does suck at it. He forgets about the unending quizzes and tests he has to constantly prepare for because he’d rather sit on his carpeted floor, snacking on Pocky Sticks or eating Chinese takeout with a movie playing on his laptop. He’d choose her over textbooks any day because being with her is like an escape. A breath of fresh air when he’s otherwise suffocating from the pressure.
Before he realizes, he’s saying, “I’ll show you this one day. You’ll love it.”
“Does that mean I’m special?” she teases. He pictures her on the other line, smiling with the phone pressed to her ear, lying in bed. All cozy in the sheets, probably in some dainty pajamas. The hem of her shirt riding up, exposing that cute belly. Maybe she isn’t wearing a bra, nipples peaked through the fabric…
He’s officially lost it. Face hot with shame, he rattles his head, as if doing so will eliminate the naughty thoughts occupying his mind. Swallowing hard, he answers, “You are special. Very, very special…” It comes out awkwardly. His cheeks are sweltering with both guilt and embarrassment now. What’s going on with him?
Luckily, she seems to think he’s still normal, replying, “You’re special too, Mr. RA. Thank you for being such a good friend to me.”
Friend. He has to remind himself that they’re just that, and nothing more. If only she knew the effect he has on him. Would she give him a chance?
His phone vibrates in his hand, and he knows it’s his mom texting him that they’re on the way. It’s his cue to head back into town. He reluctantly says goodbye, nothing else incriminating coming out of his mouth. With one last glance at the ocean, he turns around towards his car, dreading what’s to come.
~~~
Less than an hour later, Eren and his parents are sitting around a table at an Italian restaurant downtown. The waiter serves their drinks, iced water for Eren, two glasses of red wine for his parents. His mom is holding over most of the conversation, catching Eren up on all of the family news. He doesn’t care, but he likes listening to her talk. It’s relaxing for him, allows him to not think about anything else. That is, until his father starts speaking.
“Eren, Zeke’s been telling me you haven’t been performing well in Organic Chemistry. Is that true?”
What a fucking snitch. It doesn’t surprise him; Zeke’s always knocking Eren down a peg so he can look taller in the eyes of their father. And while he says he means well, he actually doesn’t. However, this is a good opportunity to segue into what he actually wants to discuss. “Yeah, dad. That’s true. Ochem is really kicking my ass right now.”
Dr. Jaeger takes a swig of his wine. “Do you need a tutor? I’ll give you money to hire one.”
Eren tips his water into his mouth, gulping slowly. He’s getting nervous, second guessing himself if he should really say what’s been on his mind for the past couple weeks. Before he chickens out, he decides to go for it. “Actually, I’m considering changing my major.”
The silence is loud, even with the other patrons clinking their dishes and chatting away. His mother stares at him, eyes wide and mouth parted open. His father swirls the alcohol in his hand, staring at the liquid whirling around the glass. It lasts for at least a full minute, or at least, that’s what it seems like to Eren. He’s tempted to add, “Just kidding!” to make this painfully uncomfortable quiet disappear.
Finally, his father speaks. “If this is your idea of a joke, it’s not very funny, Eren.”
“I’m not kidding.”
He leans forward, inspecting his son’s face carefully. “What would you change it to?”
Eren taps his foot nervously beneath the table, responding, “Education. I want to be a teacher.”
His father barks a cruel laugh, startling your mother and the neighboring table, who stares, intrigued. “Teacher? You want to be a teacher? Eren, this is ludicrous. I’m not going to waste my money on your tuition for you to become a teacher.”
“What’s wrong with being a teacher?!” Eren snaps.
“I’m paying for you to become a doctor. Teachers don’t make any money.”
Eren mumbles, “Not everything in life is about money.”
“That’s a very naïve mindset. How will you support a family without a decent income?”
“There are plenty of teachers who can afford to raise a family, so I don’t see how that’s relevant.” And besides, making more money doesn’t automatically mean you’re a better parent. Prime example is Dr. Jaeger himself, but Eren knows better than to throw that back to him.
His dad shakes his head, massaging his temples as if he’s got a bad headache. “You need to hire a tutor, Eren. The courses are difficult, but getting a tutor will help.”
“It’s not just that, dad. I’m not happy. I don’t want to be a doctor.”
His mom chimes in. “Honey, are you sure you’ve given this enough thought? This is a big decision.”
He nods. “I have. It’s been on my mind for a while now. And I know in my heart this is what I want.”
She gives him a small grin, glancing at her husband, who’s reeling in his seat. “Grisha, it’s going to be okay.”
“Carla, this is his future. He’s ruining his life.”
Eren scoffs. “Dad, is it really that bad?”
He glares at him. “You were supposed to take over my practice.”
“You have Zeke.”
He continues to rattle his head, freaking out. “If you change your major, I will not pay for the rest of your tuition.”
It’s a threat. Eren’s prepared for the worst. “I’ll get a job, take out loans. If you don’t want to support me, fine. But that’s not going to change my mind.”
It’s silent again for what seems like forever. Suddenly, Dr. Jaeger stands up, tossing his napkin from his lap onto the table. “I can’t listen to this anymore. Carla, we’re leaving.”
“Grisha.”
He stares at Eren dead in the eyes. “You were supposed to be special. I had very high hopes for you, Eren. Now, you’re just a disappointment.”
It’s words. That’s all it is. Eren has to remind himself that. Sticks and stones, right? But the disdain on his father’s face, the contempt dripping in his frown, all of that combined with what comes out of his mouth so easily, without a hitch in his breath. It breaks his heart. He is not prepared to hear this. While it doesn’t completely surprise him, it still hurts. He fights the tears, gulping down the sorrow building in his throat. Drinking the remaining water in his empty cup as his father storms off, his mother chasing after him, pleading with him to come back. Eren waits a couple of minutes, hoping they return, that his dad apologizes and takes back what he said. It doesn’t happen. His phone vibrates and reveals a text from his mom.
Mom: I’m sorry honey
Mom: We’re driving back home now
Mom: I will talk to your father and I will call you later
In the worst timing possible, the food they ordered minutes before disaster is served. Eren asks the waiter to package everything up, no longer hungry. After he pays the check, he drives back to campus, grip tight on the wheel, listening to whatever music is on his playlist at full volume. Trying to drown his father’s words replaying over and over in his head. You were supposed to be special. I had very high hopes for you. You’re just a disappointment.
He parks the car in his usual spot, sulking in the driver’s seat for a little while longer until he exits, carrying the heavy bag of pasta towards his room. It’s a Friday night, and of course, the dorms are empty because everyone is out partying, not being a disappointment to their parents. He approaches his door, leaning forward to press his forehead against, feeling like he’s at the bottom of the barrel, trying to claw his way out somehow. He can’t call his mom because she’s probably too busy dealing with the aftermath. So, he dials the only other person he knows will listen. The only other person he can rely on.
She picks up his call quickly, after one ring. “Eren?”
He thinks he can hear her faintly down the hall from inside her bedroom. His feet shuffle towards Room 104, dragging the to-go bag of food along with him. “Hi,” he greets, sullen.
“Are you okay? Where are you?” She sounds concerned, and in this fucked up state he’s in, it’s what he needs. Someone who cares.
“No, I’m not,” he sniffles, tears rolling down his cheeks. “It was a mistake. I should have never said anything.”
“Where are you?” she repeats, more frantic this time. From outside, he can hear her bed squeak as she hops off it. The swish of a jacket. The jingle of keys. Seconds later, she opens the door, finding him already standing there, begging for comfort.
And it’s not weird when she hugs him, wrapped around his torso, her face nestled into his chest. She fits into him like a puzzle piece, a missing one he never knew he needed. This is the closest they’ve been, probably the most they’ve ever touched. Yet something about this is familiar. Maybe it’s the warmth radiating from her affectionate embrace. Or the way he instinctually bows his head to nuzzle his nose at the top of her head. This is what he’s yearned for, dreamed of. Someone who looks at him like he’s worth something, even when other’s see a failure. Someone who holds him tightly with every fiber of her being to make sure he knows he’s loved. It’s in the way she presses her ear to his chest, listening to his heartbeat. How her hand massages small circles onto his back, chanting, “It’s okay, Eren. It’s going to be okay.”
And with her in his arms, he actually believes it.

PART 1 OF 3.5 [PREMATURELY ENDED]
**There will be no more updates unfortunately. I've been ghosted. :(
MASSIVE TW'S: CNC, STALKING, RAPE FANTASY, ETC ETC. Basically if you are triggered by intense, dark kinks or sex, please do not read. I do not censor words.
*tagging under #repressedh0e's adventures
Aight so, I can't tell anyone else this because they'd probably call the cops lmao, but I know I can tell y'all freaksss about what happened today. Essentially, I'm being VERY marinated in a cnc stalking scenario for the very first time... Finally! And according to him, it's going to be a very slow burn for anticipation.
--------------
So, I've been talking to this local guy for a lil bit that's very, very much into cnc just like I am (and y'all, he's a whole FOOT AND 2 INCHES taller than me, and has the biggest fucking cock I've ever seen. I'm not even lying - this man is going to rip my little, only-had-sex-with-one-person body to SHREDS). Once we both got a good vibe, we moved towards more kinky territory, talking about safe words, limits, and scenarios for when we eventually meet. He then asked me to send a single photo outside of my bedroom window, and promised he'd find me.
Intrigued, I sent it. I can see my city from my window. Beautiful, really.
But within 15 minutes, he sent me a live snap of my apartment building with the caption: Found you, princess. After losing my shit (in a good way), I confirmed it was my building, and he said he actually lives really close by.
I suspect you're in a corner apartment, 2nd or 3rd story, I'm not sure yet but I'll figure it out. I say nothing. I'm not giving any hints. I'm impressed by his perception at this point. But I am, in fact, on a corner on the 2nd story. How will you figure that out? I ask in innocent curiosity. All I get back is a 🤫 emoji.
And then, maybe 3 hours later, I get a random snap - a chat that simply says, I have a question, Isa. I told him to shoot, go ahead and ask!, and again, he simply asks:
Do you have a fan in your window?
I freak the fuck out (again, in a good way), and confirm that, um, yes... I enjoy the cold, and why do you ask?
About a second goes by, and he sends a live snap of MY 2ND STORY BEDROOM WINDOW with the caption, You can't see me, but I can see you.
How the FUCK this man was able to tell it was my window in a fully wrapped around 6 story apartment building, just by the angle of my one photo, was astounding. I was truly perplexed.
I then get another ding before I can truly wrap my brain around what was happening.
Turn your light off.
I do as I'm told.
I then receive a live video of my bedroom window, with the light shutting off.
I freak out a third time (y'all already know I'm soaking by now), but I realize I couldn't see him. There were 4 cars a little ways down the street, parked in the night. Any of them could've been him. None of them could've been him. I can't see you.. Is all I managed to type out through trembling fingers. It was so intense, and I was so turned on, I barely knew what I was saying at this point.
His response: Good. Let's keep it that way... For now.
Not long after as I'm continuing to try to look into any and every vehicle, I receive a live video. It's him stroking his massive cock in his car with the caption, You know what I want.
Y'all. When I say I about came undone, I MEAN IT. My heart is pounding, my pussy and inner thighs are both absolutely drenched. The moment is so thick with sexual tension, and I'm so entranced in it, I could've sworn I saw god at that point lmao.
But I continue looking out the window, my light still off so I can see into the night. But nothing. All is still. And finally, the car in the very front down the street slowly drives away.
About 5 minutes go by, and it feels like a lifetime, before I receive a chat: You're so close to me. I'll be watching. Waiting. Checking on you every time I go out. Stroking my cock outside your apartment until the day I can finally tear those holes apart.
--------------
Y'all, I... have been dreaming of living out a stalking scenario since I started becoming interested in sex as a teenager. I begged my ex, and while they were into cnc, it was never like this.
Never in my life did I ever imagine these scenarios to be so intense in real life. It's so damn different when it's really happening. Intense, I use that word a lot but there's legitimately no other way to explain it. Exhilarating, even. Psychologically it fucks with you, because you truly never know when they're looking at you. He could be outside right now as I'm typing this, stroking that huge cock, thinking about raping my holes, and I genuinely wouldn't know it. And it turns me on so, so much.
I absolutely cannot wait to see what else happens. 🫣
***DISCLAIMER: yes, I'm being safe!! I've told my roommate and another good friend all about him/the entire situation and the man was of course good with that as well. I'm very willing in this situation, and incredibly aware of any red flags that could arise, pls don't worry<3***

what was the moment where you said yes to McShep?
OKAY SO.
Obviously you, audioletter my beloved wife know all this but. I’m not sure I’ve talked about how I got into SGA/mcshep on my tumblr so.
After finishing the x-files in 2022, my wife’s Zaddy Husband Mitch Pileggi beckoned us to watch Stargate Atlantis (because we couldn’t stomach Walker Texas Ranger). We’ve both been in fandom for a Long Time and thus remembered the years that McShep reigned supreme, and starting the show we said to each other “haha wouldn’t it be funny if we became ride-or-die mcshep shippers?”
……..yeah.
From the very start of the show, basically every single time John and Rodney were on screen together we’d go “haha mcshep lol”
So now I’m like. trying to excavate my memories to figure out when it Became Real for me.
I do tend to love buddy slash pairings and ships where one person is shrill while the other is chill so it’s not, like, surprising to me in hindsight that I did end up shipping mcshep? And then the SGA fandom being so friendly and active just…allowed my fixation the space to flourish.
But anyway, let’s see what the first McShep thing I saved to my camera roll was!
*drumroll*
It’s this art by the amazing @luluxa:
So at this point I think I was still at the “no no, I’m saving this fanart to my phone ironically” stage.
Now, this was October 30th. By November 3rd, I have photos of a trip to mandarake where I was really hoping to find SGA doujinshi cause I SWEAR I’d seen it before (I’ve not managed to find it yet. Japanese fans why. You guys love generic white guys mcshep should be massive here)
The first fic I have bookmarked is from November 2nd with the note “oh no I have feelings about McShep now” and it is Counting Down by @alienfuckeronmain, which is a post-trinity fic.
HOWEVER. I also have a Grace Under Pressure coda bookmarked from a day or so later, and this tracks with my impressions: this is the episode that most intensely sticks out in my mind as being emotionally memorable and something I needed to be reading fic about. Soooooo I guess it was Rodney that got me, and the need to process my emotions about episodes by reading other people’s processing, and, uh, now here I am almost two years later!
SO. To get to the actual question, several paragraphs and approximately a day later, I don’t know that there really was a single moment that put me there, as opposed to a series of moments enacted onto an already-primed pump? Because truly I should know by now that the danger of doing something ironically is that you end up doing it ronically, but. I remember devouring the fic I could find that was non-spoilery as we were watching (lots of episode tags) and it definitely shaped my perspective on John and Rodney’s interactions.
But essentially, this is a ship archetype I tend to like, and Rodney McKay is absolutely the type of horrible little gremlin man I tend to like, and the fic was good, and. Here we are lmao

꒦‧₊ ꒷ Sleepovers w/ Team Stan [Headcanons] ✧.*
✧.* tags: comedy, college au
✧.* Charactions: stan marsh, kenny mccormick, kyle broflovski, butters stotch
a/n: I haven't had a sleepover in years and this has made me want to have one with my friends so badly.
masterlist
Monthly sleepovers are a friend group requirement
Cartman is invited on a month by month basis depending on how much of a bitch he’d been in the past month
It’s a great way to keep him in line
“Why do the gays get a pride month and there’s nothing left for us straights?”
“That’s strike 3.”
“WHAT! I didn’t even do anything this month! Who the fuck died and made you king of the sleepover?!”
“Uh- I don’t know. The sleepover behavior etiquette contract that you signed with blood.”
“God fucking DAMMIT.”
You all go to Stan’s usually since it’s outside of town so you can be loud if you want
And get blasted but thats a tale for another time
After the sun sets, the real party begins
Aka eating pizza and talking shit
“Clyde doesn’t know how to do laundry”
“You’re kidding.”
“I’m literally not. I was at Tweek Bro’s and he spilled some of his drink on his shirt and he goes ‘Now I’ve got to throw this away.’ and I almost choked on my drink, I swear to god. I told him he just needed to wash it and he deadass goes ‘How do you do that?’”
Butters gets so much tea just from overhearing it or people complaining to him
He LOOKS like a nice guy who empathetically listens
But Professor Chaos on the other hand is remembering every juicy detail about what Bebe sai to Nichole at the mall last week
Just saying- when the gossip girl south park account comes out, you know who’d behind that shit
Just Dance competitions FOR SURE
Butter is a kpop stan i can feel it
Yall do dynamite and he’s DEMOLISHING
I said before than stan is the type to only move his arm
But that’s totally kyle
Kenny and Stan go ALL OUT
That guitar hero gave him mad rhythm
But they get so into the full body dancing that the remote doesn’t pick up the right movements and they end up with like 30 points
They always TRY the tetris one
But their ambition outplays their actual ability and it ends with them falling into a pile on the floor
I feel like New Girl would be a group favorite binging show
“Stan you’re so nick miller coded”
“If I’m nick miller, kyle is the most schmidt to ever exist”
“Schmidt is fucking hilarious so that’s a compliment. Nick is just an alcoholic.”
“Okay man fuck off you’re just mad that you can’t be winston.”
“Yeah that’s because I’m winston and Butters is Jess.”
“Yn you’re fucking Robbie.”
“Kenny say sike right now before I throw your soda out the window.”
You all DEFINITELY try to play true american
And it goes TERRIBLY
Why would you play a game where you have to jump from surface to surface with someone prone to dying
After the 3rd time Kenny falls off a chair you guys stick to uno or some shit
Midnight taco bell adventures
they know your fucking order and get annoyed whenver you pull through the drive through
Like god these dumb fuckers again
But you give them a nice tip
And feast on the taco bell in the parking lot while laughing at whoever did the dumbest thing during the night
Wonderful vibes, truly immaculate

December Creator of the Month:
Oh-So-Youre-a-Nerd
Each month, CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers or artists, and this month’s creator of the month is @oh-so-youre-a-nerd . We're very excited because Ascindio is our very first artist to be highlighted! We hope you will enjoy learning more about them and their work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.
Quick Links:
Tumblr Blog
Instagram
How do you want to be known on Tumblr?
Ascindio
More below...
1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played?
I started playing in 2016, I can't remember if I read Endless Summer or Rules of Engagement first, but I ended up deleting the app after like 2 weeks cause I couldn't stop buying diamonds 😅🤦
I re-downloaded it about, ohh idk 2 years ago?
2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?
I joined the Fandom specifically on Tumblr and specifically for It Lives Within, which happened to come out right after I read the first two books
3- How did you pick your blog name?
I always try to seem cool and mysterious when I meet people irl, and then as soon as I open my mouth, I ruin it with some niche trivia or something, and they say, “Oh, so you're a nerd.” 😂 Can't tell you how many times this exact phrase has been uttered to me.
4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!
This is the first Choices related post I made 😂 I was just thinking about the concept of what if characters make terrible decisions cause they're controlled by a player who is out of diamonds lol I was going to do a whole series of them (next was going to be lotr “fly on eagles to mordor?” *30 diamonds* or “simply walk”) but got lazy lol
5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both?
Only art. God, I WISH I wrote too. I've thought about trying cause I have so many ideas floating around in my head, but at the end of the day, I'd rather spend my free time drawing.
6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?
For Choices, since early 2022
For other fandoms, since well, forever, but I only started posting around 2017/18
7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?
Favorite Choices book is probably It Lives in the Woods. All of the characters were so interesting, I never got bored reading it, and it had an incredible twist that made sense but I still didn't see coming.
Favorite to create for is probably Blades of Light and Shadow though because I am such a sucker for the fantasy aesthetic.
8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?.
This isn't the first Choices art I made, but it IS the first I actually shared
And honestly, I DO still like it because I still remember the way I felt absolutely POSSESSED while drawing it (I hadn't drawn anything for *months*). I would definitely change the background, though. Those trees look like shit, and they're not even the correct type for the kind of forest they're in.
9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created?
My favorite Choices art I've done is probably this piece.
10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?
I definitely didn't expect this one to do well at all as it was so hastily drawn
And I was sad this piece didn't get more love, it was such a dope scene and I was so excited about how the sword turned out
11- If you could only draw one style or type of art for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the question right, but if I had to pick like a specific type of art, it would be digital, and I would want to do fan art. I have a hard time painting anything that I don't already have a deep connection with (so original art with no story behind it is usually a chore for me), and digital art is just so incredibly convenient and not messy and so so versatile.
12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?
Because I use fiction as a way to safely process trauma/ grief/ other big emotions, each MC I make has a small part of me, whichever part I feel the need to explore at the time.
There's an amazing quote by Patrick Rothfuss that I feel explains it perfectly.
It's from Wise Man's Fear
“These folk knew all about death. They killed their own livestock. They died from fevers, falls, or broken bones gone sour. Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.
Except for stories, of course. Tales of poisoned kings and duels and old wars were fine. They dressed death in foreign clothes and sent him far from your door. A chimney fire or the croup cough were terrifying. But Gibea’s trial or the siege of Enfast, those were different. They were like prayers, like charms muttered late at night when you were walking alone in the dark. Stories were like ha’penny amulets you bought from a peddler, just in case.”
13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?
I have a very difficult time making the poses seem natural and flowing. My all time favorite art is Baroque/Renaissance style and how fluid the poses are, how soft the skin looks, how delicately it's all done. Obviously, I will always have my own style, but those are things that I so want to incorporate but never seem to get quite right, and it drives me crazy 😂
14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?
Not really. I mean, I have a ton of unfinished work, but as soon as the window of inspiration passes, I just can't get myself to care enough about it to finish it (insert Jake the Dog, “now it's gone, and I don't care about it anymore!” )
15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first?
I would, and have. I typically show them whatever most rendered recent picture from my Instagram because I don't post any nsfw there and usually try to post only my prettier work for this specific reason haha. (As opposed to here, I post everything here, ain't NO ONE from real life invited to see my tumblr 😂)
16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?
Writers: Brandon Sanderson, for sure. He's the reason I got back into art back in 2017 ish. His stories are just so emotional they push me to create. Same with @saibug1022, there is always at least one scene from every story he shares that I desperately want to draw to try to capture the emotions.
Artists: God, sooo many, here are just like my top 3 favorites and their instagrams.
Audra Auclair
Obsessed with her unique style, and specifically the way she draws eyelids and noses
f3lc4t
The way they draw those dripping, glowing wisps. I stare at their pieces for hours (no lie) trying to dissect them stroke by stroke to figure out how they do it.
Miho Hirano
Their art has a delicate whimsy-ness I would SELL MY SOUL to achieve
17- Which one of your creations would you like to see a fiction written about?
JC, this is the shit I DREAM of.
Definitely this one.
So this is love.
This little comic means a lot to me.
18- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art?
Very rarely, but I do, every so often. This is my favorite original piece.
20- What other hobbies do you have?
Gaming, singing, walking through the Cemetary with my wee daughter, reading, that's about it 🤷
21 - What’s your favorite emoji?
🙇
22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).
I really wanted to say that I don't believe in “good” art and “bad” art (just ethical vs non-ethical). That being said, I know what it's like to hate your art, like soooo intimately. If you ever are feeling shit about your art, you can ABSOLUTELY message me (I don't care if we're mutuals or not, I don't care if we've never interacted before) and just say, “I am feeling shit about my art” and I will go through your art and tell you every specific thing I love about it and why it's wonderful. I am not joking; I am so so serious rn. 💗💗💗💗

Canon Characters vs OC vs x Reader
Disclaimer: This is just my two cents, and my perspective on things, and I'm not trying to lay down the law for everyone. I needed to just put this to words though, in order to sleep.
I was thinking about this because of a post I saw, and some, we'll say, kind of useless comments associated with the post. Mean-spirited stuff.
Normally, in one ear and out the other, but the vibes just kicked me off down a rabbit hole of sorts an I wanted to try to put some of my thoughts to words.
First, some style vibes:
Canon x Canon Canon/Canon stories are, to me, like reading an episode of that show. I'm sitting down in front of a TV or whatever, and I'm experiencing the story As A Viewer. I like this style because I don't really have to expend much energy and I just kind of roll with whatever's happening. Generally some sort of 3rd person perspective.
OC x canon OC/Canon stories are like being on a carnival ride. I'm sitting in a car on a roller-coaster, and maybe the OC is sitting next me. I'm experiencing the story more deeply than strictly canon stories, but my connection with the OC is no deeper than say, my connection with Katniss Everdeen when I read The Hunger Games. Sometimes 3rd person, sometimes first person.
Reader x canon Reader/Canon (or Reader x/ OC) is like putting on a VR helmet. I don't get much physical input about the "Reader OC" because I'm experiencing the story through their eyes. I don't expect the reader to be me, but there's a bigger feeling of immersion to be had. Some description might happen cause it's relevant to the story, and it's still a type of ride, I can't jump the rails on the roller coaster, after all. (Even with a VN you still follow the tracks). Sometimes first person, sometimes second person (I'm partial to 2nd person perspective, but that's just me).
I love Fan Fiction, I love it. All of it, and man even more than anything, what I love is that I'm going to dislike 80% of it. Because that 80% was written for someone who is not me. (Hell, that number's probably closer to 99% if we're looking at ALL fandoms, but I digress).
Second - The VENT:
What got me the most in the post that prompted this, was someone saying "Bring back the Mary Sue OCs!" and then they went on to describe something more detailed, and I just -
Look, respectfully, fuck you.
The point is, you're not going to be happy no matter what. Whether it's "mary sue" OCs, or x readers, or alternative universes, or a ship you don't like, you're going to find something to be unhappy about.
Cause people have been bitching about all styles of fan fiction since the first "You've Got Mail" chimed in 1991. And until 1998 and ff.net you really had to hunt for it, and until 2007 and Ao3 the idea of tagging a fic for any reason wasn't really a thing. Every click was a surprise! \o/
I just have seen the same song and dance a dozen times. It's exhausting. People become okay with OCs and decide x readers are the enemy, and before that OCs were *all* Mary Sues and cringe and people who made OCs were the enemy, and before OCs people who wrote even a little OOC were the enemy, and people who wrote AUs were the enemy, and you can write fan fic but it HAS to be Canon Compliant, and everyone MUST be in-character at all times - "They would not fucking say that" was the enemy.
Look, just please - please - in any capacity, stop it with the "All X style of story telling is crap" mindset. There's over a dozen different ways to do x readers alone. I know 20 x reader writers and I don't think any of us have the same style, preferences, or vibes.
I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I thought I hated x readers, but I really loved this." on a few different fics I've written. Sometimes it's not the style of the fic, sometimes it's the style of the writer, and my Brother In Christ - you're going to have to read some awful shit to shuffle through the thousands of writers out there to find the vibes that resonate with you.
Ostracizing entire swathes of fan fic because you need something to be "The Enemy" so you can lift up something else, and then bitching you can't find anything new to read seems like a personal problem.
And I know y'all are scrolling by TONS of posts that don't interest you, every day, as a matter of course. So don't give me that "clogging up the tag" BS, because we deserve to be here same as anyone else in the fandom.
#quin grumbles#I'm so aggravated I don't even really know how to tag this#like almost 30 years of it I'm just so done#I just wonder what amazing stories we're not getting#cause of some fucker using Mary Sue to belittle someone#or someone beating someone else over the head with plot armor because their protag survived something terrible?#How many “Oh.” moments have been missed because someone criticized the very concept of reader insert?#I'm way past my usual bedtime so I'm just rambling at this point#and I am being meaner than I'd like#but JFC#I'm not going to let people's bullshit opinions stop me or anyone else from writing if I can avoid it.#Write what you want#gush about it#talk about it#TELL ME ABOUT IT#IDGAF if it's cringe or overpowered or broken or flawless or an OC or a reader with a name or WHATEVER#If it brings you joy#then do it#and if people are too mean to scroll by it when it's not their thing#and then complain like they're entitled to do so#block 'em.#and tell me who they are so I can block them too#then write more#cause I promise it'll bring someone else joy too

tutor me — ASBF!Anakin x Reader.
I had this in drafts, but i really don't know if i should continue it. this is an unfinished work by the way.
CW; fluff, light angst..??
im tagging u here cuz you've been waiting for this one, ily @mortalheartache
3rd year highschool — 5 years ago.
both you and anakin, were nemesis' always having banters, playful insults, sarcastic comments until.. both of you got tired of it.
meanwhile anakin well, he wanted to court you. but first he wanted to be your friend, you'd see him in your band practices, he'd sit with you by recess and lunch, he'd accompany you while walking home
oh he started asking you what you liked and what are the things you liked to do, it was sweet how the cute nerdy ex nemesis-ish (you could say both of you are frenemies) of yours is trying to get to nnow you as a friend atleast that's what you thought, hmm?
and then one day, he asked “may i court you?” you were pretty surprised of his question and how long it'd take you to say
yes to being his girlfriend, you finally answered him “you may” with a smile on your lips.
he took things slowly, for your sake. he didn't want you to feel overwhelmed, he started going to your gigs, spending every minute with you, no inappropriate touches of course. just holding hands.. hugs, waist hugs, etc. that's the rule he's trying to follow, but he does give you words of affirmation, quality time, small gifts, even bought you a beautiful necklace.
he was courting you for 9 months, until you finally said “yes— yes i wanna be your girlfriend” you answered him when he asked “so.. are you ready now?”
back to the present. (2nd year college)
he barely had time for you now, but he still loved you.
at weekends he'd spend his whole two days with you, that is if he's done doing his project
oh he loved showing you his creations, he loved seeing your eyes light up in fascination.
you've got an attractive boyfriend that every girl in the campus wants to date him, oh they envy you for that. you've watched a few girls ask him out, seeing all of them walk away in disappointment, you've heard what he said to one girl before, “hard pass, i have goals, studies and most importantly my girlfriend to focus on.”
what he said made your day, oh it made you very happy.
later on the day, your math teacher had recently told you about your grades,
you had a failing mark, and of course you'll do anything to pass. so you went your boyfriend.
"What?" Anakin says that at the same time he stops typing on his laptop, turning his gaze from the screen to you, scrunching his eyes a little bit. You're interrupting his free period and his peace, and he doesn't appreciate that.
"You want me to tutor you?" He seems surprised and reluctant, skeptical about your request.
"yes! i mean.. do you wanna? i understand if you don't want to tutor me." you replied, looking down. you don't really like how he's being skeptical and reluctant right now.
#hayden christensen#anakin skywalker#modern!anakin au (jadegmfu ver)#ASBF!Anakin#anakin x reader#fluff#sw fluff#light angst#star wars anakin#anakin x y/n

Get To Know Me Tag
Thanks for the tags @lurkingshan & @telomeke! I really enjoy reading everyone's responses.
Do you make your bed?
Only when I wash my sheets, because then it's lovely to pull the covers down and get into a fresh bed. The rest of the time, I cannot be bothered. Plus I like naps, so will end up back in there at some point anyway.
What’s your favorite number?
I like 7 and 13.
What is your job?
Community Manager for a digital coworking/connection space. I'm also figuring out some outside consulting work.
If you could go back to school, would you?
What kind of school are we talking? Anything before age 18, hell, no. But more college? Sure. I would love to get more degrees if I had the money/spoons for it.
Can you parallel park?
Technically, yes, but realistically I will drive around the block multiple times to find a spot where I don't have to.
A job you had that would surprise people?
I'm not really sure what the average person finds surprising? I'm someone who likes to try new things, so I'm already on my 3rd career at this point, lol. Maybe some of my biology work? I guess that's a bit less common than office jobs, standing in a marsh in waist-deep water measuring crabs & eels, or building fences around plover nests to keep predators away.
Do you think aliens are real?
I think it's a very, very big universe and that pretty much anything is possible.
Can you drive a manual car?
Nope.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Hmm, I don't know if I have one? I'm pretty blatant about all my pleasures, lol. I used to be more shy about what I liked, but now I just don't give a fuck what people think.
Tattoos?
One, an ankle tattoo I got while in college. I actually loved getting it, and would love another one, but I can't make up my mind on what I want for it.
Favorite color?
Blues & purples, usually of the deeper hues.
Favorite type of music?
I like so many different types. It just depends on what I'm in the mood for.
Do you like puzzles?
Love them! I'm also really good at them. Ever since I was a kid, I can do them much more quickly than my friends & family. Something just clicks in my brain.
Any phobias?
I don't think any of my fears hit the phobia level. I get nervous with heights but if I feel secure, I can handle it. I hate plummeting, so avoid roller coasters. I'm risk-averse, but it's more logic driven than animal-brain.
Favorite childhood sport?
Hahahaha. I am very klutzy and nonathletic, sports were never my friend.
Do you talk to yourself?
To myself, to my plants, to inanimate objects within my house. Just last week I was talking to myself so vigorously, with hand gestures, that I knocked my glasses off my face. (See note above about klutzy).
What movies do you adore?
Oh gosh, there are so many. I grew up watching the classics with my parents, so I have a very deep love for a lot of old movies. Inherit the Wind. Twelve Angry Men. Shadow of a Doubt. The Magnificent Seven. Some Like It Hot. I do like a lot of modern movies too, but I think there's something about the things we imprint on as children.
Coffee or tea?
One cup of coffee first thing in the morning (more accurately, one scoop coffee with one scoop Crio Bru, it's an awesome mix), and then tea at various times throughout the day.
First thing you wanted to be growing up?
I don't really remember. I always had interests in a lot of things, which probably explains my multiple careers.
Not sure who hasn't been tagged yet, @slayerkitty @italianpersonwithashippersheart @dramalets @sunshinechay @infinitelyprecious @mysterygrl20 @theelast-straw @karebear923 @troubled-mind?

Sengoku Cat Cafe (Kasugayama edition)
This is a translation of the bonus cat POV (!!!) stories that are from the castle gacha I got the above image from. There are 3 stories:
3rd party (starring Funiko ≽^•⩊•^≼, a cute little black kitten)
Kasugayama (starring Joururi /ᐠﹷ ‸ ﹷ ᐟ\ﾉ, a classy calico lady)
Azuchi (starring Kabutomaru /ᐠ ˃ ⤙ ˂ マ Ⳋ, a tough and proud tuxedo boy)
Kasugayama story
(This is the most popular tea shop in Kasugayama.)
(My name is Joururi. And it's time to get to work today!)
(The rest of you, to your stations. It's time to open up shop.)
Kenshin: There really are cats here.
Kanetsugu: It seems to get quite crowded in the afternoon, so coming here early was the right choice.
Yoshimoto: The cats here all have such lovely coats. They must be very well-cared for.
Sasuke: Mai was right when she said that this must be the origin of cat cafes.
Sasuke: It must be very calming to be around all those cats.
Yukimura: There's so many cats here, how do you tell them apart...
Shingen: Let's enjoy this shop that our goddess recommended to us, shall we?
(These are the guests of honor from a while ago!)
Joururi: Meow, meow.
Yukimura: This one looks friendly.
(Their clothes are fine, they're handsome, and they look rich. Perfect!)
Joururi: Meow, meow... meow?
(Don't just stand there, do come in.)
Kenshin & Kanetsugu: This is...
Yoshimoto & Shingen: ...quite...
Sasuke & Yukimura: ...amazing.
(Aren't I? I'm quite the beauty, after all!)
(Now, in you get.)
Shingen: Are you the store greeter? What a lovely lady you are.
(Hmph, don't think of me as a mere greeter.)
Yukimura: Well, she does have a pretty cute face.
(Just my face? Excuse me?)
Yoshimoto: Isn't her fur just lovely too? Come here...
(Ooh, this one has the right petting technique!)
(I'll rank him number one, but don't worry, I'm sure the rest of you are nice enough.)
Sasuke: She looks very friendly with you already, Yoshimoto. She's already cuddling.
Yoshimoto: Hmm... "Joururi"? Look, her name is printed on this tag.
Yoshimoto: The owner of this store must truly love the arts. You've been given a very beautiful name, Joururi.
(Note: Joururi 浄瑠璃 is a type of traditional musical theater)
Joururi: Meow~
Kenshin: I wasn't aware that cats could look so proud.
Sasuke: A beautiful man and a beautiful cat... I'm sure there are artists who would kill to paint this.
Yoshimoto: You try petting her too, Sasuke. Here.
(Glasses? ...Hm, men with glasses aren't to my taste. Hya!)
Sasuke: ! She batted my glasses off my face... Joururi, do you not like me?
(...Ooh! Very nice!)
Yukimura: First she hits Sasuke's glasses, now she's purring at him. What's with the sudden change in attitude?
Kanetsugu: Perhaps she hates glasses?
(This one isn't bad either. Very nice eyes, very sharp... very passionate...)
(I'll be borrowing your lap now!)
Kanetsugu: Hey! Don't just jump like that, it's dangerous...
(Put down your tea on the table now. Pet me instead.)
Joururi: Nyaaa...
(He smells nice. I'll definitely make him mine.)
(There isn't a man alive who could resist my charms- Eh? Wha!?)
Other cats: Meow~ Meow~~~
Yukimura: Whoa, all of them are swarming here.
Sasuke: They're all surrounding Kanetsugu.
Shingen: What a wicked man you are, Kanetsugu. What's your secret for capturing the hearts of so many fair ladies?
Kanetsugu: ...I think I know what this is about.
Kenshin: So what is it?
Kanetsugu: I think they smell Raizou on me. I was handling him earlier today.
(...Now that you mention it, he does smell kind of mouse-ish. So that's what it was.)
(But! His face is still excellent!)
Joururi: Meow meow meow!
Shingen: Kanetsugu, pass her to me.
(Hey, wait!)
Shingen: Come on now, don't act like that. Being held like this isn't so bad, is it?
(Ah... Big hands... wide chest...)
(...This man is dangerous. He's oozing with sex appeal.)
Kanetsugu: She seems to be enjoying it.
Shingen: Would you spare me some of your attention, pretty lady?
(Oho, I see that you've fallen for my charms and you're now head over heels for me.)
Yukimura: She's gone completely limp.
(Hmm. Pass on that one.)
Yukimura: Hey, Joururi.
(Speaking so casually to me? How impudent.)
Yukimura: What do you think of this?
Joururi: Mya!? Meow meow!!
Yukimura: It's pretty rough, but I think it turned out okay. It's a handmade cat toy.
Joururi: Meow...! ...Meow!!
(*panting*... You've got some nerve trying to bribe me.)
(But... well, you are right. It's not half bad.)
Kenshin: And she's now licking her paw.
Sasuke: I suppose she wants to groom herself after running around after the toy.
Kenshin: Joururi.
Joururi: ! ...Meow?
Kenshin: Come here.
(W-what is this? There's something about his voice that's just irresistible...)
(There's something about this man that just draws you in.)
Sasuke: She's purring quite loudly.
Kanetsugu: It's an honor for you to be petted by Lord Kenshin, Joururi.
(I don't know about 'honor', but it does feel very nice... I could get used to this.)
Other cats: Meow~ Meow~~
Kenshin: They've gathered.
Sasuke: So not even cats are immune to Lord Kenshin's charisma.
Kenshin: Mai would enjoy herself if she were here surrounded by all these cats.
(Don't pay attention to any of them, just keep petting me~)
Shopkeeper: Welcome, sirs. If you'd like to feed the cats, we have some food prepared here.
Kanetsugu: We'll take some. I suppose we just have to pass them out?
Shopkeeper: Yes, sir, of course... This little one is adorable, isn't she?
Shopkeeper: She was originally a stray, but I couldn't help myself after seeing how cute she was, so I adopted her.
Shopkeeper: And now I couldn't ask for a better partner.
(Well, I am the face of this store, after all.)
Sasuke: That's quite a smug look you have there, Joururi.
Yukimura: You like it when we give you compliments, don't you?
Yoshimoto: She is very beautiful indeed. There's much to compliment about her.
Kanetsugu: It's a good thing we were able to preview this place, Lord Kenshin.
Kenshin: It is.
Shingen: You'll probably be getting another guest very soon, Joururi. Do be nice to her, okay?
(I don't know who they're talking about... but well, it looks like they're all completely hopelessly bound by my charms.)
Joururi: Meow!
Yoshimoto: You'll let me pet you a little longer, won't you, Joururi?
Sasuke: I'll take off my glasses, so let me pet you too.
(Surrounded by handsome men and complimented all day... Ah, life is great.)

ok some things about the au that i'm writing while trying to figure out the next chapter
i'm going to rebranded it from "ymmhtc" to "fall away au" since the title of the fic changed a while back and i finally figured out a tag for it
amy lives on her own and owns her own cafe (as we know from the infamous Rose Cafe that Silver and Shadow work at)
the only person who Amy really trusted whole heartedly to work alongside her when her cafe was starting up was Shadow. not to say everyone else wasn't a help, they all were! they all chipped in and assisted her in getting her footing, but Shadow was someone she knew she could seriously rely on once customers started brewing in.
Shadow in turn was the only person to really work for Amy bc 1. he would not eat food without paying excessively (cough cough SONIC KNUCKLES cough cough) 2.) he actually knew how to take care of plants without killing them instantly, & 3.) he likes coffee and hanging out with Amy
Silver can't cook for shit, blame it on the environment he grew up in. he will both undercook and overcook his food at the same time in spotty places it's actually impressive. he's honestly happy as long as whatever he makes is at least halfway edible
Sonic and Tails live together more on the outer parts of Mobius City, near the open fields and the loops. Sonic can run to his heart's content and Tails doesn't have to worry about another lawsuit for blowing up the next door building (dont ask, tails will avoid questioning while Sonic just awkwardly looks off to the side)
Rouge, Shadow, and Omega all live together (they are a family your honor and i will not seperate them Sega can rip them out of my cold dead hands-)
they all live on top of the bar that Rouge owns
there's a back entrance that they also can enter from so any of the kids don't have to go through the bar to get to them
Amy's cafe has been open for almost 3 years, with her 3rd year anniversary coming up! (i'll incorporate it into a chapter
Shadow babysits Cream sometimes and takes her to the park
it's really funny seeing this dude decked in black leather and shades and this dead face holding hands with a girl who is basically the embodiment of Joy as he buys her ice cream
team chaotix all live together as well and they live closer to Vanilla and Cream and Amy as well (they all live somewhat close to each other
looking at this, i really do have to go back and draw out blue prints for Mobius City alongside everyone's houses. i feel like it'll be really fun.
here's the fic if anyone wants to give it a read!
#fall away au#i wanted to get some basic points of this au out there considering i haven't really done much for it for a while#in my defense senior year of high school was supposed to be easy#it is not easy#i will draw a map of Mobius city with blueprints of the houses#of everyone and the distance#i'm actually having a lot of fun with this au#and i really don't know why i kept on holding off on talking about it#considering this is literally my blog and i can't do whatever i want#sonic#sth#silver the hedgehog#sonic au#sonic the hedgehog

I am a multi shipper so don't take this as an attack on Byler, I like Byler's dynamic too but I like and think Mileven is endgame. My problem with Byler is actually how some of the shippers act, like saying Mike has never loved El and was just with her to his sexuality does not sound great. Now, I am queer myself and I understand that this type of experience can happen irl. But in terms of it happening in a limited time frame in a tv show where we just watch these characters for a couple of seasons and how Mileven has been marketed for 4 seasons straight, are we really supposed to just accept that Mike and El never ever felt romantic feelings for each other? And the monologue, which happened in the show's climax moment, it being disregarded as a lie would feel really jarring, especially when we know El got strength from it. Why include it at all if it was a lie? I think there is a difference between preferring Byler as an outcome and a ship, versus trying to erase Mileven's romantic existence completely. Just thinking about the show's narrative, we have gone past the notion of Mike and El never loving each other romantically IMHO.
It all depends on the interpretation you have, I agree with you in thinking they have a real romantic relationship but the people in the byler tag that say they don't, genuinely think Mike has been lying to everyone and himself for years and that that's what the writers are writing, it's not exactly "wanting" to eliminate the relationship as much as thinking that something is happening because of certain details that they think matter
I don't agree that that's the correct interpretation of the show but I genuinely believe byler is going to be the endgame relationship for Mike and Will at the same time
I think that the Duffers will not disregard the relationship Mike had with El in the show, but they are moving the story towards byler endgame because I don't think Mike and El are compatible anymore, their love and relationship was a puppy love/young love type of situation and El and Mike changed as people, I think they were too dependent on each other and are not in love really but have mostly an attachment to the other, they do like each other but the relationship is not working for them as they would like, Mike placed El on a pedestal too high and she's not able to make him see that she likes him as he is on her own, probably because she's not in love with him really and the writing needed to show that El doesn't make Mike feel like Will does this season- her love for Mike is not as deep as Will's love has been shown to be on screen, that doesn't mean she doesn't care about him, it's just something different!
The fact that they used the painting and made Will lie about it and even be the one that reminds Mike to make the monologue instead of making El and Mike resolve their problems is really a death sentence on Mike and El's relationship because imagine if that was happening in any other hetero couple in movies like it often does, that's a sign that the relationship is not working out if they need a 3rd person that is in love with one of them to use his own feelings to fix the problems the other is having in his relationship... That's the death of romance not a climax love confession!
I don't think Mike was lying but I think he was tricked by the feelings behind the painting in the sense that he didn't feel secure and safe enough with El to say that he loved her before Will got involved with his own feelings for Mike
That means that Mike doesn't trust El completely with his own heart to me and that there is something wrong that's stopping Mike from being completely himself with her, he's been trying to be cooler for her since they started the relationship and she started doing the same in s4 because of her own insecurities until she confronted her trauma with Brenner
I think El likes Mike but I don't think she's in love with him, I think she (not consciously) latched onto this relationship because it was a safe space for her after Hop's death and that they are both going to realize the romantic part of their relationship has to end for them to stay as close as they are now on El's side especially... I think she needs something different now and I think Mike is going to realize what he feels for Will is something deep and that's what was stopping him from committing his whole heart to El, because Mike's heart was already Will's before that without him even realizing it
So yeah even if I don't think Mike was lying about anything I think the narrative is going to end with byler endgame at this point otherwise the duffers wrote awful stuff for Mike and El without any reason

It's that time of year again! Welcome, returning participants and newcomers alike to
The 3rd Candy Hearts Challenge
A fun, stress-free Wolfstar mini-fest!
(If you remember how this goes , feel free to skip my introductory spiel and check for new rules!)
They’re sold by many companies and known by many names: Candy Hearts, Conversation Hearts, Sweethearts, and Love Hearts. Whatever the brand and whatever you call them, they’re the signature sweet of the season. Sure, you could buy your beloved a box of chocolates, but that’s an option any time of year! Good luck finding these bad boys in November!
Not that candy hearts are bad! Sure, they’re kinda chalky… and they taste stale no matter how fresh you bought them… but it’s not about the taste with candy hearts, it’s about the pastel, the experience, and above all else: the sayings! Who doesn’t remember going through a pack with friends, trying to find the kookiest message? Digging through a box to find one that was just the right level of romantic to give a certain special someone? (And maybe the heartbreak when you received one in turn where the message was just a big, pink smudge?)
Now, candy hearts have been around for a long time. And with a constant rotation of messages so we always got fun variety in a box, they’ve had a lot of sayings.
Through a great deal of internet sleuthing (and a little creativity on my part), I’ve collected over five hundred of them.
Some are a little raunchy (TEASE ME), and some are outright rude (EW NO). They range from classic (BE MINE) to contemporary (SWIPE RIGHT) to were-at-one-point-contemporary (FAX ME). Some of them are, quite frankly so hyper specific it’s a wonder they made it into circulation at all (ME JULIE BEST MUM).
And they are all, even the weird ones, ripe with potential as fic prompts!
The way this mini-fest works is simple:
From now until 11:59pm EST February 14, drop me an ask containing these emojis: 🍬💕
If you don't want to send an ask from your main tumblr account (or don't have a tumblr account), you can do so anonymously. However, you must include the ao3 handle or tumblr sideblog from which you plan to complete the challenge.
I will shake my Great Big Box of Candy Hearts and pull out a unique candy heart for you and only you!
With your message in hand, create whatever that candy heart inspires and your own heart desires! Fanfic, art, graphics, playlists, head canons, shit posts, interpretive dances, cosplay, meta essays, it’s all great as long as its central focus is on Wolfstar, the relationship between Remus Lupin and Sirius Black!
You can either directly quote your candy heart message in your work or use it as a broader inspiration.
You are allowed to use the same candy heart as inspiration for multiple unrelated works and submit all of them to the fest.
You do not need a beta before submitting your work, but I do encourage you to get one. I want this to be as stress-free an event as it can possibly be, and in my personal experience, it reduces stress to have someone else look over your completed work for at least spelling and grammar so you don’t have to reread your own stuff and psych yourself out before posting. If you don’t have any fandom friends with whom you feel comfortable sharing your fanfiction, there are also online resources to find a friendly stranger (including, hopefully, our discord server — see rule 17). But if ultimately, you’d rather be your own editor, I certainly won’t reject your work!
Include the following caption at the beginning of the tumblr post or AO3 beginning notes: For @goodboylupin's Candy Hearts Challenge. My candy heart prompt was ____.
If posting on tumblr, please make sure the @-tag of your caption is working so I get a notification! It should show up on its own automatically as you type. Also tag the work with #RSCandyHearts, preferably within the first five tags.
If posting on AO3, post your work to the collection and tag it with #RSCandyHearts (it will probably not be common enough to be a drop-down option, just type the whole thing out and hit enter).
I will reblog every work on Tumblr, and leave a kudos on every work on AO3. (If I haven't done so on your work and you see I've been active on this blog, then both the @-notification and #RSCandyHearts tag failed. Send me an ask with a link!)
If, after completing your first work, you want another helping of candy hearts, that’s more than welcome! Since I don’t want anyone to get a sugar crash, there is a two-day wait period between submitting a work and getting a second (or third or fourth or wherever you are) candy heart. You can send the ask earlier, but I will wait two days before answering it.
If you find you cannot come up with anything for your prompt, you can drop out and send a new ask to get a different candy heart. However, you need to give it an honest effort for at least one week before I give you a new one.
Works are expected by March 1, but this is a low-stakes, self-posting challenge! If you need more time, just message me or drop an ask. And if you want to drop out, that’s totally fine! I’ll even delete your first ask where you requested a candy heart if you prefer. I only need to know for the sake of my own record-keeping. Let’s all just be honest, considerate, and try to have a good time!
If you need a really long extension: Your candy heart is yours until January of next year, at which point, if I haven't heard back from you with an update or request for extension in the past few months, your prompt is going back in the Great Big Box of Candy Hearts so somebody else can have a go at it. The AO3 collection closes at the same time.
I will keep a masterlist of works pinned on my blog until at least March 7.
There's a discord! Feel free to join to discuss your prompts, your progress, your love of Wolfstar, or just to have another little circle in your sidebar.
New rule: Over the past two challenges, there have been a small handful of people who requested a candy heart, did not create anything and did not speak to me any further to tell me they were dropping out or having trouble. I work hard to make everyone a custom graphic and keep this fest running smoothly, therefore: Any creators with multiple instances of ghosting are suspended from getting another candy heart until next challenge.
Attention: @goodboylupin has been shadowbanned. I have already sent a support ticket to tumblr but do not know how long this will last. My @ -tag is therefore broken (it will look like you @’ed me successfully but I will not receive a notification) and it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that you remember to tag your post with #rscandyhearts in the first five tags!!! If you need to speak to me about anything, your best bet is ask box or discord, because while it may look like a private message has sent, I won’t receive it. Unfortunately, people who send me asks will not get a notification when I answer them, you’ll just have to check my blog. Sorry for the inconveniences, I promise they suck worse for me. 💔
(And this announcement post won’t show up in tags, so please reblog to signal boost!)
My ask box is open now to receive your candy heart requests 🍬💕

hey!! you follow my plantblr (unexpectedplantblr) and i’ve learned so much just off your tags dude. wdym pruning omg i’m so wildly unprepared how and when should i be doing that! i can’t imagine they have yt videos on shit THAT basic do they!?.
and my apples are dwarfs?? i’ve been stressing abt them so close to the house and was trying to find an arborist to help me move them but do you think they’ll be ok with just some root guard? omg i’m so sorry to bug you feel free to ignore!
There’s no issues and I welcome the asks! This enthusiasm gives me old tumblr days vibes that I think many miss these days lol.
Inevitably most domestic fruiting woody plants need a trim up of pruning for maintenance. Some types don’t need it overall or don’t need it at certain life stages, but those are the lucky cases.
While I’m currently still in the midst of pruning season as of writing this, your photos imply it’s a smidgen late for you to be doing any at all unless it’s either for major issues or dead/diseased wood; it’s generally best to get the pruning before said woody plants leaf out but while they are still dormant to reduce shock, to avoid damaging freshly sprouted growth (since if you’re early enough there’s no leaves to worry about), and keep them wasting energy on wood that’ll be cut off in the process. I recall I got my info on pruning mostly by book literature but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some niche videos on the topic online- there are yt video journals and tutorials for niche fruits like Asimina triloba cultivation/maintenance so surely less exotic stuff would have online tutorials on it. Do try to find more than one source to try to average out the answers they give lest they give different answers or overlook different details (gardening can get subjective sometimes after all). If I recall the rule for Grape vines you try to keep one “lead vine” intact to be the one to produce new yearly branches/shoots that will then produce the grapes.
Fortunately I think you don’t have to worry about any issues with skipping the livewood pruning this year; let this year just help you get more familiar with what you’re dealing with.
For next year I can at least say from my own experience a few points; universally you want to prune to remove dead, damaged, and diseased wood, as well as any branches that crisscross with each other (since those will just make damaged wood from rubbing if allowed to stay), and generally you try to not cut more than a 3rd of the live growth (even if it means you gotta wait next year to fully shape a tree if the pruning work for some reason is major- which is my case with my older unkempt trees) to avoid having the pruning reach deadly amounts (there are exceptions- most Clematis are pruned to extreme amounts most of the time, well established Grapes and Kiwis can have a lot taken off too in certain cases). Oh and big one that newbies can miss; if you're getting tools, try to get bypass type pruning tools, anvil type pruning tools do damage to live wood (since they crush moreso to cut unlike bypass) and are better for exclusively dead/removed wood.
Observe what others do to their trees of similar kind to your own; I learned a little bit on what to do with my own apple trees from seeing what other people have done to their apple trees of similar size in my region.
It’s not easy at first but set goals for what you’re pruning. In my case a good chunk of my apple trees are quite old (we’re talking hollowed-out old for many of these trees), so my goal is generally to help extend their lives as well as fruit production as a bonus, so I try to reduce the sources of major weight burden on the large crumbling branches. Another goal in my case is making it that the branches are not as high up so that they are easier to maintain and harvest from, since yet again, my trees are on the larger/older end of what to expect from an orchard.
While not an option for me consulting Arborists is definitely not a bad option if you’re free to throw the cash.
Pruning rules/goals for your dwarf apple trees will probably be slightly different from what I do for my own trees since you’re dealing with very different growth forms from my own.
I am not 100% certain your apple trees by the house are dwarves but their growth habit feels more like what I’d expect/imagine from dwarf/semidwarf trees; as to what fruit variety it could be a lot of possibilities; apple trees tend to be grafted onto rootstock that affects their hardiness/size, so you could have similar cultivars to what I have for the fruit/scionwood but would definitely have very different cultivars for the rootstock that they are attached to. If the previous owners knew what they were doing they would’ve chosen dwarf roostock cultivars to avoid them becoming troublesome so close to the house.
In my opinion dwarves or not they are a bit big already to risk moving/transplanting away from the house without a painful and risky amount of long (worst case possibly years worth) of aftercare; if that is or was truly an issue you’d be better off getting new rootstock to plant in the new locations and grafting onto them from the house specimens onto those new rootstocks (you can hire/ask experts if you can’t quite do it yourself, we had a family member of a family member help save a heritage cultivar in our orchard by getting some successful grafts from the dying tree. I plan to do some grafting myself down the road I just dk what to graft rn). I am not familiar with root guard, from what I read it's a brand of fertilizer that claims to help stimulate root growth???
Also note with the Cherry/Plum trees mention before; one of the issues for ID sometimes for them is there’s just, a lot of species, a lot hybridize together, and that’s not even considering/factoring in domestic hybrids/cultivars where the diversity can be as wide as it is for apple cultivars. It can really muddy the waters for identification down to the exact kind unless you’re dealing with a very sharp specialist or a very distinct variety, and even then some may struggle with certain cases.
Lucky you to also have something as fancy as a finger lime! I already guessed so but that definitely solidified my guess that you are in a warmer growing zone from me lol.

Hello Yongie! 😊 Here's my daily ask for Golden Child's red or green flags (Im sorry! 😅). Have a good day!
sorry for taking so long!
Golden Child Green Flags
Daeyeol:
Emotionally: He is the type to understand someone and to always go for the underdog. the type that will defend your emotions and that will act depending on how you feeling
Communication: he isnt much of a talker but he is a listener. Daeyeol can always keep all of your secrets and advice you the best when it is needed
Love: it's passionate, it's rough, it's hard. whenever he loves it's so deep and so hot that you barely have time to escape such an embrace.
Behavior: he is rather chill, he isnt the type that seeks for arguments or messes. Daeyeol behaves on the right way, sometimes he acts on his emotions but they are always sincere
Y:
Emotionally: he is very earth to earth and always able to put some practical on your feelings and make you see things a way you are unable to when you are clouded
Communication: super jovial, a perfect sense of humor and his energy can be contagiant to everyone around him. he is a positive source and the type you can always laugh with
Love: he is very loyal to those he loves, and he always puts his partner up there. the type that shows you off constantly
Behavior: he is rather jovial, very sensual and he always tried to act the upmost rightfully. Y isnt the type to want and make a big fuss, so he always behave as a good person or at least he tries to
Tag:
Emotionally: he might be unstable but he is the type that isnt scared of taking risks when it comes to his emotional side and he will do things for himself and others, no question asked
Communication: he is the best at giving emotional advices like, maybe it is not that much practical but he is a good friend and he always tried to help others through his voice
Love: a hopeless romantic, the type to always put his partner first and to take them on dates and give them nice gifts. a perfect boyfriend is how he likes to picture himself
Behavior: just like Y, he is the type to put a lot on his appearance but he also tried to be a good person. the type that will offer food to those in needs or that will always try the just causes in unfair situations
Youngtaek:
Emotionally: he has emotional intelligence and thus able to read people like an open book, which can be good to those who have a hard time expressing themselves since he will do it for you
Communication: he is very hot headed but so honest, the type that wont lie to you and will always tell you things straightforward
Love: Just like Tag, he is a pretty much helpless romantic and although he might have standards that are high, when he loves, its so deep and so sincere that it melts one away
Behavior: he loves to eat and he loves to be surrounded by comfort. Youngtaek is someone that can act almighty but he will always include those he love in that status
Seungmin:

Do you have aye akk headcannons that you haven't shared with the group yet? Also who do you think would propose just because I dreamed about that and you talked about marriage in your tags. So I am completely innocent
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT HEADCANONS I'M GOING TO THROW MYSELF INTO A VOLCANO
honestly, i don't know that i've got anything special up in the old bargain bucket. i was writing something silly the other day for my own entertainment with eclipse on for background noise and it did sort of slip in that -- and this is as close to controversial as it gets, i know; hold onto yer butts -- i don't think akk's neat? as in tidy. he's organised, sure, but i think his tendency to be a messy bitch extends beyond his personality.
this is a very, very tiny thing okay but go with me on this.
Edit, four hours later: ...apparently it's not a tiny thing. I have had to put a read more because now I've added pictures. Apparently I really do have thoughts.
I think I think of this as a headcanon because a lot of fandom portrayal has Akk as this ruthlessly neat Type A and Ayan as cheerfully messy... but I'm about to insist that this is not, in fact, headcanon: it's canon. I brought receipts.
(I'm kidding but pls nobody bother telling me I'm wrong <3 respectfully, i won't believe u <3)
So over the course of the show we see both Akk and Ayan's bedrooms, right? Prior to the show even beginning, these are rooms they've presumably inhabited for quite some time. There is a whole thing we could get into about their respective economical backgrounds and what the set dressing decor says in regards to that, but I'm not gonna. Not today, at least.
Aside from that and the fact that I have a running joke in my head that Ayan lives in a hotel room in his own home (there's another tangent here about the parallel of ayan not having "roots"/a true home/a "space" but I am trying not to write a dissertation here) - they're teenage boys, right?
However,
FIGS 1.1-1.4: Ayan's bedroom.
Ayan's bedroom has nothing in it. Other than his dead uncle, some Alien urn lamps and a whole lotta beige (potential tangent number 590384: characters and their typical/home surrounding's colouring -- Ayan in golds and brown tones; Kan and Thua surrounded in white; Akk and a whole bunch of blues until he goes home and we see his blues meet Ayan's golds, etc etc -- which i'm sure someone's already done).
Now, it's possible that this is because he and Patcharaporn have someone who comes in to do housework, but even if that were the case, you'd still expect some sort of reflection of it being a teenage boy who inhabits that room... but there's nothing. Yes, I'm aware that this is The Thai BL House, but set dressing isn't something that would be outside the realm of possibility entirely. The most you ever see of Ayan in his room is when he's getting all Conspiracy Cork Board and there are just piles of dictionaries on his desk, or when he's sitting around reading dystopic speculative fiction. A single dystopic speculative fiction book. There are no others.
Come on, Aye.
I could write essays about Ayan Sukkhaphisit and loneliness. Essays.
But this is not that day.
FIGS 2.1-2.4: Akk's dorm room.
Ignoring the fact that there are obvious differences due to Akk's being a dorm and Ayan's being a single room in a house, Akk's room is by contrast overflowing with Akk. Akk has crafted his dorm to reflect himself.
Or rather, to reflect the image he wants to portray, but there are little pieces of him everywhere.
(I'm sure there's meaning in the spoon print, I just don't know what it is yet. The spoon canvas, truly more than anything in Akk's room, Sends. Me.)
There are books everywhere - light sources (tangent 4012432: all of Akk's light sources are caged in some way), knick-knacks that speak to a character with far more to him than he presents to the world, a calendar that never changes from September 3rd.
I think Akk is neat out of necessity, out of maintaining his image; I think Ayan is neat out of never having anywhere to really have stuff. I think, if canon were to progress, we'd see Akk relax even further into his space because it's the only place he can be careless and Ayan begin to be unafraid to actually take up some space.
(Tangent 6535423420: all of Ayan's personality is on him, at all times - the necklace, the hoody: his home is himself. In many ways, while Ayan is a cocky little shit, he's potentially the more deeply insecure.)
(Tangent and class discussion topic 22871342: is Ayan's room being borderline sterile a way of showing that Ayan himself is exactly how he appears to everyone - in that, he has nothing to hide? Compare with Akk's ruthless self control and dogmatic need to be perceived as perfect contrasting with how unsterile his home is.)
(Tangent 900122156: The first time we see Ayan begin to truly inhabit a space is when he and Akk are placing photos of him and his mother in Akk's room)
I'm not getting started on Akk's bedroom at his parents' house because 1. it's a boat cabin, and 2. I have to go eat something, lmao. But, for posterity, I guess:
FIGS 3.1-3.3: Akk's bedroom.
I leave it to you guys to note the multiple and varied light sources (there's still a caged light!), light streaming in from several billion windows, the storage/units brimming with things on or in them, the same dang blue mug from his dorm, the bathroom door wide open to show the mirror and thus adding more light.
(Tangent 123019242222...: Akk standing at the stern/wheel in his bedroom as the above interaction begins and what it means about his need for control while Ayan's mere presence lures him away)
(Additional thought added an hour after I posted this because it was in my head when I started answering this and then it disappeared and then I was brushing my teeth and it's back for some reason so: I think there's part of Akk that actively revels in mess/chaos. Something about him being so externally orderly, something about Ayan throwing his world into chaos and that being what draws him to Ayan, something something something, going to finish brushing my teeth.)
