#49. “Is somebody jealous?” If you feel like it 🤙
Sun-Centric, Moon at the end. | Wordcount: 1,763 | A03 Version
Romantic-leaning.
Taking advantage of the fact that my Sun cannot lie, so he either deflects or avoids the question, while Moon is more blunt. Takes place in ARC 2 (Moon reinstated as DCA, restrictions taken off Sun)
(Also, consider this a draft crumb for a future chapter of Solar Lunacy, so, spoilers. You may see a similar scene in the actual fic later.)
He's the father of one of the children; the boy who's got a obsession with Monty, even shares the same hairstyle and sunglasses as the animatronic, although his parent is a bit duller as you'd expect: Confident guy, cleaned up and usually wearing dull sweaters with dark hair. Used to wear glasses but just wears contacts anymore, and he's got a arm tattoo of a skeleton riding a motocycle under his sleeves hidden by the clothing so it's not an issue at his job.
You don't learn this things of free will, by the way. The guy just really likes to talk to you past departure time whenever you're the one checking the kids out at the door. He's a rabbler, that one, and it goes quickly from a refreshing casual conversation to a realization that he was staying at touch over his welcome.
Sun usually comes to your rescure, in the oddest of ways, sometimes.
Sometimes he'll come up behind you, shoo you off to go collect some other child for another parent while he 'verifies' the parent's identity (which you know is bollocks, since the father picks up the same boy every day he's dropped off and the little troublemaker never had an issue recognizing the guy)
Other times he'll yell something about children knocking over a tower, or throwing ballpit toys or pool noodles, and despite knowning damn well he can handle them well enough, you'll excuse yourself to go take care of the scene without coming off as rude to the customer.
Really, you don't want to come off rude to a Pizzaplex guest. You're not exactly sure where you're job stands as it is. You're not going to take any risks of a complaint.
It takes a little bit longer this time. A child is currently sobbing over a skinned knee they got from rough housing in the pizzaplex while you're at the doors checking out the troublemaker and the twins to their respective parents. The mothers of the twins collect their boys, bid you a good day and leave well enough. The father of the troublemaker, as usual, lingers even after his name is marked off the list.
"Gettin' pretty cold out, aint it?" He says, pulling a small phone out of his pocket and handing it to the boy. His son takes it, and is busy with a mobile game quicker than you can blink. "Not gonna be much longer until Christmas."
You smile. Sun is busy comforting the child in the back end of the Daycare, so you'll have to navigate this conversation on your own. "Yep. Look's like we'll be as busy as ever."
It's carefully chosen words, and you watch the reaction in his face as you say them. It seems to be the correct choice, because something in his face steels. "Yeah, yeah. Say, you got any hobbies outside of this place?"
A casual, nonformal shrug. "I spend most of my time here, actaully."
"Oh, I gotcha." He chuckles. "Getting tired of hanging around robots yet?"
"Not really." Still smiling, gotta keep up apperances. "They're actaully great friends of mine."
Something shifts in the man's expression. Not in the way that makes you think he'd suddenly think less of you to like hanging around robots, but like he's just unlocked some sort of secret backstory lore for his favorite character in a video game, and you're the npc. "Oh, really? That's pretty cool of you. You know, I work with a couple robots myself. Over at the office." He talks like he's bragging you have something in common. "Takes out the trash and gets the coffee. Like interns, but you don't have to pay em."
Your smile stretches a bit thin. "They do good work. My friend Sun might need my help in a moment."
It's a light excuse, one that doesn't seem likes it's going to work because you don't hear a child crying anymore, and Sun isn't anywhere to be seen from a glance around the Daycare. The father interjects again. "Oh, yeah. Lanky guy, isn't he?"
"He's probably getting things ready for naptime." You turn to step away from the door. "I should go get the blankets-"
Your step away seems to activate something in him. "Oh, wait! Before you're busy. Didn't mean wanna impose, but would you-?"
A flash of yellow, reds and oranges comes into your vision rather quickly in the corner of your eye, and Sun is there (thank god) with a toddler curled up in his arms. She's already sleeping, and he's careful the beads in her hair don't press inbetween where her head rests against his chassis, and talks in a whisper-yell. "Heelllooooooo, there!"
The father looks a bit startled to seem him for a second before his composure returns, and you try not to look visably relieved. "Everything under control?"
"You betcha!" Sun manages to be loud and quiet at the same time, a feat only he can achieve, and turns to the father and his son standing in the doorway. "I'm sorry, but the Daycare will have it's naptime soon, so we'll be turning off the lights and trying to keep to our inside voices." He talks calm, assertive. "Is there anything else I can help you with before you go?"
This seems to work, the father blows air through his nose in semblance of a sigh, and shrugs. "Ah, nah. We've got it here." He turns to you to say the goodbye, though. "See you around."
You and Sun speak in unison as the pair leaves. "Have a Faztastic day!"
The door shuts behind the man and his son, and you feel the tension leave from your shoulders. Children are already getting into their mats and blankets on their own (save for two that are trying to fit into one sleeping bag so they can nap together, but you don't break them up or else they have nightmares) and you don't see much else for you to do other than to turn the lights off.
Sun holds the sleeping toddler in one arm, a hand coming up to gently cover her ears with the other. "Bit of a talker, that one."
"It's not like he's doing anything wrong." You shrug, setting your clipboard on the security desk. "Just chooses the worst time. I mean, like, c'mon. I'm at work here. I can't chat with people at the door."
"Would you prefer outside the Pizzaplex?" The animatronic asks. He doesn't look as nervous when you approuch the light switch anymore. Well, usually. "I'm sure he'd like that."
You don't reach for the light switch yet; doing so mid conversation would be rude, but you still raise a brow. "Sounding a little suspisious there, Sunny."
"Suspisious." He repeats, scoffing. "His intentions are plain as day! And I'm the day! Look at me! I'm telling you. Right now."
It's playful behavior, and the way he sounds when it's flared up is a little funny, so you cross your arms and lean against the wall next to the light switch. "Okay? What if I like the attention?"
Sun's smile thins. "Oh, we doubt that."
"But what if you're wrong? Would it be so bad?" You're teasing him, obviously, that much is clear. You can tell by the look on your friend's face that he's two seconds away from rolling his eyes (or maybe he is already, and you just can't see the pupils) but you're allowed to poke at the Daycare Attendant every now and then. "Maybe we'll never know because you keep chasing him off."
"I would gasp right now, dramatic and awful, but the childern are trying to sleep." Sun sounds incredbably deadpan. "And I'm not going to entertain your theatrics-"
"My theatrics?" You give a short laugh. "The last time he was doing this, you pretended to fall and break a leg so I could excuse myself to 'repair' you."
Sun holds up one finger to you. "And yet you still came running!"
"...Boo."
"There will be no 'booing' in the daycare-"
"Oh, boo. You just don't want me to get a date cause you'd miss me." You snort.
Sun looks like he's about to say something, then goes quiet, face static. You grin. The girl he's holding hasn't stirred yet, but knowning him, he's probably holding back for her sake to defend himself. He only does so after a moment. "Teasing and bullying is not allowed in the Daycare either, or do you think you're always excluded from rules?"
"So you would!" You laugh, and cover your mouth with your hand so it doesn't make so much noise. "And please, you let me get away with so much-"
Sun looks esasperated. "Against our will."
"What are you, jealous?" You continue, and miss the visible stillness that takes over the animatronic when you talk. White pupils deadpan at you and you snicker. "What? Nothing to say? Is somebody jealous?"
You chuckle as the Daycare Attendant stares at you, smiling but silient. It's fun to tease him, but it's about time you let him get back to work before you waste time, and you reach for the light switch, still leaning back agaist the wall. "Alright, alright. I'm done. Let's get-"
A hand reaches out over yours, pressing it against the light switching flipping it off as your fingers are locked underneath it's own. You pause, gaze dropping from the lightswitch and traveling back in front of you towards the animatronic as the lights in the Daycare go out.
The switch happens differently each time, but better times like this, it's a blink, and the Daycare Attendant went a far cry from hiding away each time to this; unwaving eyecontact, leaning int a little too close for comfort as colors change and the pressure on your hand feels a touch sharper.
"Yes." Moon says, deadpan.
You blink. "Uh."
"Blankets." His hand drops from the light switch, from your hand, and adjusts his grip on the still sleeping toddler in his other arm.
The small-talk of an animatronic leans away from you, and casually, turns the opposite direction towards the children who were either half-asleep on their mats already, or quite excited to see him. You watch as the animatronic finds a open mat to tuck the toddler into, mummering quiet hushes to the children around him as he busies himself with his duties.
Well, you might have lost that one. You retrieve the blankets from the supply closet, using your hands to scrub at the warmness in your face when he's not looking.

Tom Riddle x reader - blurb/how you(blank) because i need to write SOMETHING
Tumblr media
How you meet - During 5th year, its a simple paired potions assignment and you end up getting paired with Tom. he's polite and charming of course, one must be to gain allies, even if they are...less, in his view.
How you gain his attention- Oddly, you don't pay attention to him like most of the girls do(frtho we all be drooling over him and blushing), you just get your work done and be polite. it gains his attention because 'whomst? doesn't react to my charms and face? i must find out the cause'. mans likes a puzzle to solve.
How it starts- he starts hanging around to try and solve the puzzle of you, he wants to know everything, every weakness and every tiny piece about the person who caught his attention. he surmises that he'll lose interest at some point once he learns enough/gains your attention like the other girls always give him. but the longer he hangs around, the more...comfortable he gets. he finds himself gravitating towards you, not really realizing whats happening until its already too late.
How he realizes- during another potions class, Slughorn was reviewing Amortentia and Tom smelled a particular scent that had him reeling back-his eyes going wide and ears turning pink. it was your perfume/shampoo/cologne/body wash/whatever. a smell he had gotten way too acquainted with over the last few months. (yes it takes him literal months to get to this point he is not a love at first sight kinda guy, he has to have some sort of connection) and he has a bit of a breakdown-because haha-WHAT!?
What happens after the realization- He distances himself right away, practically cuts contact. doesn't look at you, doesn't speak to you unless he HAS to. just goes cold turkey. right away he misses you and is just like *AHHHHHHHHHHHHH* but internally...this only lasts about two weeks before he decides 'fuck i miss them' and just stares at you for a good while before he gains to courage to go up to you and start talking again. he keeps his cool, of course he does, but inside he is screaming.
How he confesses- its right before summer break of 5th year, yes he takes forever to confess and he does it right before everyone leaves for the summer, just in case he gets rejected and doesn't have to look you in the eye until the next school term. For once he's fumbling over his words and he cant keep eye contact, his face slowly turning red as you stare at him with a small smile. depending on how you react, he'll either leave with a hidden smile or the STUPIDEST grin he's ever worn, or will wear. the grin will be if you kiss him on the cheek.
When you both come back for 6th year- Oh-he is NERVOUS-he didn't even know he COULD BE nervous. his hands are shaking slightly and he cannot focus on anything he is just so nervous about seeing you again. he hides it well, blank face and everything, but he moment he sees you at the train station, and you smile at him, he cannot help but smile back because holy shit they like me back and i wasn't delusional
lowkey i hc Tom is insecure in relationships(genuine ones)
How he is in a relationship- it takes him a long time to get properly comfortable. pulls back from any pda and wont even let you hold his hand. you can hold his sleeve or something but hand? nope. he's just so unused to being touched in a loving way that he's-almost grossed out by it? but once he finally starts to settle? ooooh he is the cuddliest thing on planet earth. feral cat that felt the loving touch of their human and now will never let them go. pda is at a minimum but now you're always holding hands in some way, pinkies interlocked and everything. study dates are the main dates, but he wont mind a date at the three broomsticks once in a while, as long as you find a quiet corner to hang out in semi-privately. will help you with homework but has to be offered something(wink wink just kidding its candy.) Major! sweet tooth, you could make him commit murder with the offer of sweets(lets be fr he wouldn't need candy to commit murder) jealous! jealous jealous jealous! and possessive, no one is allowed to talk to you, not with out several interviews from Tom and being cleared after taking a written exam on why they wouldn't try anything on his boy/girl.
loves to see you in his hoodies/sweaters, thinks its the best way other than hickeys to mark his territory. will happily give up all his hoodies to make sure everyone knows that you're his.
side note; i see so many tik toks(Slytherin boys react n stuff) that make him super threatening and menacing and willing to kill during the Hogwarts years. like he's smart. really fucking smart. he wouldn't risk anything just for someone he cares a lot about, torture? yes. kill? no. he's not stupid. he's not going to get caught over a stupid boy who gets handsy. will he later kill that idiot after graduation? yes, but during school? when Dumbledore is around to keep an eye on him? no. he's not stupid. he's not a murder machine, he's homicidal not stupid.
Anyway back to the point
Other relationship stuff-
Would take a long time to get to the point were he wants to go past kissing, hell it takes him forever to kiss you for the first time-like legit three months into the relationship. he would do knuckle/hand kisses and cheek kisses here and there-but it takes months for you guys to kiss properly for the first time. but anyway's he had never been attracted to anyone before you and takes a long time to get sexually active with you, mans is a virgin-everyone makes him a playboy and i look at his ass and go 'that man has never touched a girl a day in his life'.
So he learns with you, once he starts? oh yes he goes full horn dog. he is insatiable! cant keep his hands off you in private/semi-private. is pretty vanilla at first but he finds a spicy book and is very intrigued. learns he has a breeding kink very quickly and is very into choke play and control.
First and last love, if you ever leave him(haha you wont), he will probably never get attached to anyone romantically ever again.
Very protective and will keep you out of his 'darker' business, like the chamber and his followers and plans, wants to keep you innocent, to have something that isn't total darkness and evil. now if you're into that kinda thing he wont stop you, but he will keep you away from it all just in case.
Cold hands-will warm them up between your thighs-thick or not.
Has naturally curly hair, and only lets you see it-everyone else gets the polished hair gel look. it took him months to let you see it-but once you proclaim your love for his natural hair-he makes it a point to let you see/play with it before he puts his gel in/after he washes his hair at night.
can and will fall asleep on you, esp. if you're playing with his hair or scratching his scalp/neck, arms fully wrapped around you and konked out, very cute panther lookin ass.
steals ur pillows and switches it with his(he has good pillows and washes his bed sheets/pillow cases routinely)
mayhaps have stolen one of your blankets...you're not getting it back.
will help you do any homework you have trouble with, might even let you copy his homework for a price(wink wink fr this time)
by the end of 7th year, and you're still together, fully plans to buy a ring and marry you. no doubts about it.

Ok but Krypton!lives au but clark isn't some jerk alien prince, he is a brat no doubt but he's also just so oblivious to everything. Have some of my headcanons for this:
•I imagine it starting with kal el dropping down on Kansas farm [grown up and shit] being found by the Kents as they patch him up and take him down on the guest room, he wakes up freaks out a bit speaking in kryptonian and just floating around the house being overly careful of everything, ma and pa kent are confused and so is Kal, he tries to communicate with them and they finally find a common ground and after a month clark finally learns the human language.
•zod has managed to exile kal from his home planet, suffice to say kal el is currently heartbroken and looking for help
•Kal just saw some random pair of glasses and thought they were so cool so now he just wears them whenever he's in casual clothes but is in no way trying to hide his identity, people are just that dumb.
•Does not get social cues at all and will unwillingly say the wrong thing at the wrong time, he's just a happy little guy who wants to explore this strange planet and then go home
•he particularly likes rock music despite his personality, he finds hardcore metal music soothing
•he once tried to eat Batman's ears, in his defence they looked edible to him,
•Diana loves to fill in kal with false information about the human race, kal is not stupid enough to belive them but follows them anyways just because he thinks it would be funny
•Bruce has a very subtle crush on him and kal notices this immediately, he's confused as to why Bruce pretends to hate him
•The whole league [escpically bruce] is overprotective of him, lex Luthor doesn't stand a fucking chance
•Kal el has no filter and will call you out with a bright innocent smile and float away moving on with his day
•Kal lives in the watchtower only visiting earth for league business, he rarely works alone
•he floats near the Zeta tubes almost everyday hoping to see bruce and when he's not there he's disappointed
• he refuses to walk, he thinks he's done enough walking for a life time and bruce has to tug on kal's cape to make sure he isn't floating above his seat
•he is way more capable of communicating his emotions in kryptonian then in English, he will switch to kryptonian when he's ranting or angry
•Diana and Barry are the ones who suggest he make a civilian identity, and thus is born reporter clark kent.
•He still visits the Kents here and then bringing them souvenirs from space
•Does not understand when someone is flirting with him but will bring bruce random animals he finds in the wild as gifts because "I heard from Jason you like adopting tiny lonely beings"
•he's still pretty good at hiding his identity somehow and at this point as learned all social cues and slang thanks to lois
•yet he still decides to fuck with the league, he gives batman forehead kisses, he once called green lantern a thot ["does that not mean thoughtful?"] And will very knowingly insult anyone who even looks at his loved ones the wrong way
•while bruce is more open of his protectiveness [and possessiveness] of clark, Clark himself is more subtle and quiet about it, but not forgetting he's still technically a spoiled prince of Krypton cannot share. He snatches bruce and gets pouty whenever bruce is talking or flirting with anybody else
•it takes them five years to get together but it finally happenes and they start dating
•the kryptonians finally find clark and force him to go with them but clark now refuses even if his exile is over.
•unfortunately he really can't leave his planet behind and has to leave [he and bruce have a long sad conversation and clark breaks down]
•A month later bruce is handling another team meeting when Clark finally comes back
•he offically leaves Krypton to his older cousin Kara and moves in with bruce
•his favourite movies are the James bond movies
•The batfam all adore him
•Basically I want a Au of sweet innocent clark that's oblivious to innuendos and shit while bruce suffers in silence and the evolves into clark being a little shit who pretends he doesn't know what he's doing when pulls bruce close and whispers in his ear about smth knowing damm well he's doing things to Bruce.
Also-
Diana: Batman if your done fighting with your boyfriend, we need to leave
Batman: wha- kal is NOT my boyfriend!
Kal: (has only be in earth for a year) I'm not?
Batman: I-
Kal: Am I not your friend?
Batman: no kal I never said-
Kal: am I not a boy?
*jla snickering in the back*

Okay, but, Snow for Christmas was a fucking TREAT!
Can we please discuss how precious it was? And how I need MORE after reading it.
I'm dropping spoilers below because I've reread this 5 times while at work today and need to let my emotions out.
Baz and Simon having regular lunches with Fiona? Please give me those dialougues. Gimme a fucking screen play of nothing but their lunches
Simon regularly practicing his sword skills AND distracting Baz? You cannot convince me this isn't a flirting tactic doe Simon. Let me read about Simon seducing Baz via a sword 😏
ALWAYS KISSING GOODBYE? MY HEART CANNOT.
Okay, but I also want more family drama from the Grimms and Pitches. Uncle Cyril? Tell me what this man has done to find himself on the wrong side of Malcom Grimm and Simon Snow. Spill that tea. (I will always map Baz's entire family tree if you let me.)
The sofa is PINK!! Need I say more?
Wing Flap Shirts!! I'm so glad our dragon baby finally has clothes he can wear without needing magic. NOW. Which one of you lovelies is drawing this?
"He reaches up and carefully starts to loosen my tie. He's become very skilled at this over the last few months." 😏😏😏
Baz internally swooning at EVERY thought of Simon being his boyfriend.
Simon being a GOOD boyfriend and immediately being up for another dinner with Baz's family. For Baz. Because he's so GOOD
Baz referring to Lady Salisbury as Simon's grandmother? ADORABLE. Lady Salisbury being cool with Simon and Baz bring "as gay we want. We can be extra gay, as a treat." YES. GIVE THESE BOYS A KIND FAMILY FIGURE WHO ACCEPTS THEM WITH NOTHING BUT LOVE. Please give me more visits with the Salisbury family. I need the wholesomeness.
WHERE CAN I READ ABOUT FIONA AND NICOS WEDDING!?!?!?
"We could be married with children --" "Could we?" PLEASE GIVE THEM A FAMILY
Can I get more fanart of Baz with his siblings. Because they are precious little things. And I need more of Petra and Sophie climbing Baz like he's their personal jungle gym. I need more pre-teen Mordelia spending wholesome time with her brother. I need to see Swithin climbing this fucking Tibetan mastiff. Thank you very much.
Can we please give Rainbow Rowell a massive thanks for giving us a more detailed description of Malcom Grimm finally??
I will foot the entire fucking production crew to have that dinner recreated for the screen. I would sell my soul to a Demon like Shepard if it means I can have a quality holiday special of that dinner. Fucking. Hell. Baz IMMEDIATELY grabbing Simon to ground him. Simon SUPPORTING HIS MAN and holding his hand. SIMON BELIEVING IN BAZ THAT HE'S GOT THIS DINNER IN THE BAG AND JUST SERVING BAZ FOOD. Malcom and Daphne crying and pouring drinks over Baz finally finally finally getting to eat dinner with him. Sophie getting gravy in her hair.
And can we also discuss the fact that this scene proves that these little girls know their big brother is a vampire? And they still adore him? They still climb all over him and practically beg for his attention? That these girls just want to spend time with their brother and aren't afraid in the slightest of him?
FANG BACKSTORY BREAKING MY FUCKING HEART. Baby Baz fucking hiding in the barn. Terrified. And Fiona just fucking supporting her nephew. I 100% cried during this scene.
Edit Add cause I somehow forgot to mention : Simon's fucking obsession with Baz's fangs. Like. Honey. No, his family does not want to watch him drain a deer. That's just you.
"I think I got drunk with Baz's dad at dinner." Had me rolling.
Backtracking. WE HAVE CAREER OPTIONS FOR SIMON. And so help me. I would refuse to talk to this man too if he tried to join the RAF or police force. Like. He really needs to address this hero-savior complex with his fucking therapist. For fucks sake. Stop trying to save people Simon. Just get your fucking fork lift license and RELAX.
Really. Die Hard? Are we shocked?
THE. FOREHEAD. KISS.
End of discussion. (But really. Discuss. Because I am feral right now. And I cannot focus on writing lesson plans in this state.)

What I think each characters sexuality's are and why
(I'm taking another small break from the basic info. series but it's almost finished, I have 12 characters I still wanna do, and I can do any others if you guys want)
Straight:
Jingo Raichi - I can't really see him liking guys or anyone else other than girls, but he would be hella supportive. He's that friend on pride month who would wear a rainbow flag or put one outside his house just because at least one of his friends is part of the LBGTQ+ community.
Yudai Imamura - He's a playboy, I don't know what you expect. But he isn't homophobic and he acts VERY gay, even though he's not.
Okuhito Iemon - I can only picture him liking girls, although he would be supportive of the community. He's like the dad friend of the friend group so he wouldn't care who you like as long as his friends are happy, then he's happy.
Keisuke Wanima (Younger) - He's definitely not part of the community, and he might not show it, but inside I can picture him being a bit homophobic, but he wouldn't show it since his own twin is part of it (maybe, who knows? *wink wink*).
Zantetsu Tsurugi - He doesn't know what the LGBTQ+ community is, but once he found out he was like: "That's cool, but I only see guys as bros, nothing more." He would be sweet about his reaction but I but dumbfounded since he's still new to the whole thing.
Rin Itoshi - He is not part of the community, but he supports it since his brother and his enemy.... (only for his brother, not his enemy *a lil bit of a spoiler*).
Adam Blake - He looks straight (to me). He is straight. Periodt.
Anri Teieri - (Sadly) I can picture her being straight, but she supports it. [Quick lil headcanon: I can imagine Anri (even without being told) putting up rainbow flags around the Blue Lock facility during pride month.]
Jinpachi Ego - I cannot for the life of me picture his as part of the community. Although, he would be the type of person to act homophobic "Because love gets in the way of your performance" but on the inside he would be supportive.
Oliver Aiku - He would be that friend that acts hella gay even though he's the straightest friend in the group.
Mark Snuffy - I can't see him being part of the community, he's supportive though.
Don Lorenzo - Again, I can't see him being part of the community.
Issei and Iyo Isagi - I can't see them being LGBTQ+, but they'd be supportive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bisexual:
Yoichi Isagi - He most definitely likes guys, but he likes girls too but he hasn't seen one in a while (besides Anri) so he's grown attracted to some of the guys.. *Cough cough* Kaiser *Cough cough*
Rensuke Kunigami - I can't really explain it.. he just is..
Asahi Naruhaya - He acts homophobic, but in reality he's bi as fuck.
Ryosuke Kira - Is it just me, or does he look it?
Junichi Wanima (Older) - It's like a one sided love with him and Chigiri, he acts like he hates him but he actually likes him.
Aoshi Tokimitsu - He's had a crush on a few guys before but was always too scared to come out since he was afraid of what everyone would think.
Jin Kiyora - He kinda just screams bisexual, I don't know why though..
Ranze Kurona - He definitely likes Isagi...
Eita Otoya - He acts like he's straight, but he has a crush on Karasu.
Leonardo Luna - I can fully picture him being bisexual, he's definitely liked guys in the past.
Julian Loki - I dunno why, but he just screams bi...
Shuto Sendo - He most acts as straight as he can to try not to be suspicious, but he's actually bisexual (but for who?).
Sae Itoshi - Have you seen the way he talks to Shido? He still likes girls though, but the public doesn't need to know about him and Shido.
Alexis Ness - *Cough* Kaiser *Cough* Sorry, I think I had something in my throat. Oh, what's he doing here? He's supposed to be in the straight section...
Chris Prince - He likes Noa, but he's only told one person which is Yukimiya.
Noel Noa - He's had crushes on guys in the past. (And maybe he likes one now?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gay/Lesbian:
Wataru Kuon - He tried to get to know Team W after making the deal with them and he succeeded but it wasn't for long since he remembered he had a team meeting with Team Z.
Ikki Niko - I think he would be gay, and he looks like he has a thing for sweaty men.
Seishiro Nagi - It's "too much of a hassle" to say he likes Reo so he says he's gay and it's the end of the conversation no matter who he's talking to.
Kenyu Yukimiya - This could just be me, but he looks gay. Is that just me?
Nijiro Nanase - Nijiro in Japanese means 'Rainbow', take that however you like.
Ryusei Shido - I don't even need to explain.
Yo Hiori - I don't know why, but I can see him being gay.
Dada Silva - Brazilian Baller, c'mon now, just that name alone sounds gay as fuck (my opinion).
Pablo Cavazos - Just take a look at him, he's cute, but I see him as gay.
Michael Kaiser - Have you seen how he acts with Isagi?
Lavinho - Noel Noa, end of discussion.
Yu Bachira - She gives off Lesian/Pansexual vibes, I don't know why...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pansexual:
Meguru Bachira - Meguru Bachira in Japanese means 'tour flyer', the tour is around all the different people and he's just the representation of it.
Reo Mikage - He likes everyone and anyone, unless you steal his 'treasure' from him, then he doesn't like you.
Jyubei Aryu - Anyone who's 'glam' or 'has styl(e)' is amazing in his eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transgender: (I know you can be trans and gay/bi/etc.. but out of laziness I'm only putting each character in one category)
Gin Gagamaru - I can see him being trans.... somehow I can..
Hyoma Chigiri - He's either trans or girly pop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questioning:
Gurimu Igarashi - He was raised to like girls and only girls, but upon entering Blue Lock he started developing feelings for one of the players. Now he's trying to figure out his sexuality as well as his true feelings and whether or not he should listen to his parents and the other monks. (I feel like I just wrote a story summary, but I would read that story ngl.)
Shoei Baro - He's had little to no experience in love, and he knows what the LGBTQ+ community is, but he's unsure if he's part of it or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and none of it (at least that I know of) is canon and actually happened.
That's all, have a good day/night!

Yubisaki to Renren - Anime First Impressions Review
Tumblr media
This review is based off the first 3 episodes of the anime and does contain spoilers. Please be aware that I have not read the manga and am not spoiled. 
It's been a while since I've watched a proper Shoujo romance anime. It's not the most common anime/manga demographic for me to check out but I have watched or read quite a few of them over the years and have loved most of them. Some of my favorites are Ore Monogotari!!, Kimi ni Todoke, and Ouran High School Host Club. As of now Yubisaki to Renren absolutely has the potential to be one of my favorites. I'm loving this show!
I really enjoy learning about the experiences of different people and am not super knowledgeable in the life experiences of deaf people. I am glad we are seeing more anime like this and Ranking of Kings that help enrich people's perspectives on disabilities. To me this show is incredibly engrossing and informative towards the deaf experience. In the first 3 episodes we have already gotten so much rich characterization and details into Yuki and her experience as a deaf and mute person. It brings up a lot of detail surrounding basic interaction as a deaf person. Such as how things that could are normal and inoffensive between friends like going up to someone from behind could have a different impact on someone deaf like Yuki. Her having that feeling that people are talking about her, even if she is not reading lips or was communicated.
Tumblr media
I have to imagine this is a relatable feeling. Most people seem to be able to pick up on that type of thing to an extent, but I imagine people with disabilities like deafness are more receptive to it. Likely out of getting more attention towards them for being different and feeling excluded. Her wondering how Rin asked for his number and having trouble doing it is very sad, because she is unable to approach it in the same manner. It's great seeing how she goes about tackling problems differently. I appreciate them bringing up how she has hearing aids but still can’t hear. I was wondering about that as I figured you would not bother to wear them if they weren’t working, but I can see how there is still value in it even if Yuki only hears noises she cannot properly understand. I imagine there could be emotional reasons for wanting to wear them as well as well. I also did not know there were separate schools dedicated to teaching the deaf and hard of hearing. I had really only thought of individual tutoring, but it makes sense proper institutions dedicated to it exist. These would provide much higher quality of education to those hard of hearing, but it’s also understandable that it would make someone feel like they are in a protective bubble. Which is how Yuki felt. Another informative detail I like is how one girl in the deaf school called to Yuki verbally, reminding the viewers that there are varieties of deafness. Some have the capacity to speak clearly, some do to the best of their ability, and some like Yuki cannot or choose not to speak at all. It’s easy for people to stick to a simple idea of disabled people, so it’s great that this show is addressing the complexities of the condition. It’s especially great that it accomplishes this by showing rather than telling. I also like when Yuki brings up how the way people sign conveys emotion outside of the words being signed. It’s very cool to learn about how body language also comes through with signing. I had not properly thought about how signing would show bodily expressions the same as any other bodily movement until I saw it here. Such as how Oushi’s signing is aggressive while Itsuomi’s is soft. Yuki can read into someone’s personality based on how they sign. Just within these first few episodes this anime is filled with rich detail that get help you understand Yuki's experiences and empathize with her. It strongly succeeds in engrossing you in Yuki's world. All of these glimpses into how deaf people communicate and intake information is very informative and interesting. This on top of the sweet nature of the show makes it a lot denser than a traditional romance. I'm greatly looking forward to learning more about the life experiences of deaf people through this show.
I also think a strength here is that it takes the experiences of deafness with great care while also using it for jokes. I like the simple miscommunication humor of her not reading lips perfectly leading to her taking something the wrong way. This fits very well and is great for adding comedy in between the dialogue.
The romance side of things is also starting off strong. Itsuomi has me swooning over here with his smooth moves.
Tumblr media
I can see the chemistry between these characters already. Both of them are people who desire to gain new experiences. Expanding your world seems like it is a central theme of the show. I really enjoy these early interactions. They feel fairly natural, being awkward in a way that doesn't feel forced or strange. It is natural for him to not know exactly how he should act around her, where it doesn't come across as negative when he acts how he normally does. I like seeing characters' dynamics and feelings toward each other grow. They are still feeling each other out and going with the flow. This really encapsulates the early stages of falling for someone. And these interactions are just so sweet. I love Itsuomi's personality of being very curious. Just within the first few episodes I can tell he has a lot to him and really like him. The fact that he head pets her too makes this feel even more like it was made for me. Watching these episodes really warmed my heart. I'm very interested in seeing the overarching theme of expanding your world be explored as the story continues.
I also really like the other two main characters so far, Oushi and Rin. Oushi seems like he will be the rough person who acts out of strong care. I like his interactions with Yuki, their catty rapport being funny while laying the groundwork of his overprotective behavior having the effect of being demeaning. I like this set up so far, feeling positive that there will be good execution for this issue. Rin feels like a good supportive friend. Her also having a crush at the same time as Yuki adds a lot to their interactions and gives her more to do than just be a wingwoman. I look forward to seeing how her relationships develop and if each of their crushes will cause any conflicts with each other in the future.
From my perspective the anime production seems to be very respectful and taking great care to portray the manga as great as possible. This is primarily shown through the animation quality for the signing. It comes across very smooth and has the finer movements portrayed well. Stiff animation would greatly harm the signing coming across properly in animation. I cannot speak for any removed or added detail compared to the manga, but I feel that the production truly believes in the importance of the visuals. And this elevates the show greatly.
I hope this show continues to be a sweet romance while getting into the serious issues it is setting up. I hope we get a lot of great growth for these characters and for the character interactions to continue feeling natural, rather than leading to forced melodrama. At the very least if it continues to be rich and enlightening, I will continue to love this show. Thanks for reading! I hope I talked about this topic well, please let me know if I came across negatively at all.

First I would like to say I have never asked a question. In my life. Second I like to say that your au is a very cool and interesting idea, and I cannot wait to see where it goes.
For your Pants AU (is it called that?) Where is Splinter? Did something happen to my ratty boy?
Love, me
Thank you for the ask! Kudos for having the courage to send it :)!!
It's called the Pants AU mostly as a joke lol. I had a joke title for one of my fics that I didn't keep so for the sake of my dearest @spectra-bear I kept This joke title. Pants AU because they wear pants.
I did talk about Splinter's place in another ask (if you look through the "#Pants AU" tag on my blog you can find it in there) but I can get into what happened to him a little more here >:)
He was taken from the Nexus and mutated all the same, the only really different part is that he didn't manage to save the turtles before he ran off from the collapsing laboratory. Since he didn't have the turtles to take care of, he just kind of wandered around on the streets being sad about the fact that he was a rat now for a few weeks. between the fact that he was kidnapped in the first place, and the mutation thing, and the guilt from failing to save the turtles (he oscillates between thinking they're dead and thinking they're being raised to be murder machines-- both are terrible options), he eventually runs back to Big Mama with his (now literal) tail between his legs
Tumblr media
She does take him back at first-- she cares about him in her own........very very strange way-- and tries putting him back into the Nexus. while he wasn't refusing to fight anymore, he had absolutely zero drive or spark. not nearly interesting enough. a shell of the champion he used to be. so she kicks him out and he becomes a sort of drifter through NYC's underbelly. never really settles and makes frequent trips between the Hidden City and the human world

hey!! Your blog is really cool and has a ton of great info. I love the way you talk about things :)
Just wondering, I’ve been having a really hard time trying to control my brain. Been bad recently. Just a lot of accidental telepathy and silly brain things that I don’t quite have a grip on.
I like all the power, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just a lot to deal with day to day. Do you have any tips on how I could put a handle on it? Even just a little
Thanks^^
Hello!
Lee Morgan said it well (I'm sure it was his book), albeit in reference to witchcraft, that practicing is like a fire that burns away your fat. Like, we're all slabs of bacon and we can throw ourselves on the skillet to cook. Using your skills is exposing yourself to the raw flame of the Other.
And we can render out very nicely and produce something lovely.
But, also, when your "protective layer" is burned away, then problems start. Then the fire starts licking your brain directly.
And that's not good.
So really you've got to take breaks. People don't want to, because it's lots of fun to practice and they get enamored with how their brain pops and sizzles when held directly over the firepit.
But you have to take breaks. And I don't mean fifteen minutes a day of not-practice. I mean, days off. Weeks off. A season off - or two, if you've really gone overboard.
Imagine that your craft is a fireplace, and every time you intentionally practice you are laying another stick of wood on the fire. And that fire is getting bigger and bigger. And if you keep going, your house is going to be too hot to stay in.
The house is your self. You cannot leave.
But even when you stop putting wood on the fire, well - you've still got a raging fire! It's going to have to burn itself out and calm itself down. And that process is not a few minutes of deep breathing. That process is waiting. Days, weeks, seasons. You have to let it cool down.
So you have to look yourself in the eye and say, "is my house getting too hot? Can I really afford to keep putting wood on this fire?"
And besides, you're never going to be able to sweep out your fireplace and clean your chimney while the fire is still going, but that's a metaphor for another time.
During one long period of my life I had been going through Too Much Input, and all these things were happening to me and around me that was a lot to deal with, on a day to day basis. My boyfriend is quite wise in the ways of wizardry, so I asked him how he handles it. How do you handle all these things you can perceive and know?
And he shrugged and said, "ignore it."
I was gobsmacked! Ignore it? Just pretend it isn't happening and get on with my day?
Well he was right, wasn't he. That's a crispy looking psychic stick, sun-dried and well aged. I'm just meant to ignore it? I'm not supposed to snap it up like a rowdy dog and drop it directly onto the bonfire of my mind?
I'm meant to just walk the trail without grabbing every single piece of kindling I can stuff in my mouth?!
How else will I burn my house down??
So another thing is, you can't let yourself chase after it all like a Golden Retriever after tennis balls.
There will always be another message, another snippit, another tidbit, another spirit.
You've got to learn to let them go past you, like you're in a Ghibli movie on a sun-lit hill on a cloudy day, watching cars far below you on the freeway.
It's a freeway. There will always be more cars. Let them go. Let them go before your house burns down.
"What about such-and-such psychic technique for turning off power?"
Oh, sure. There are plenty. Imagine a valve closing. An amulet to limit sensing. Shielding techniques.
The danged heck of it is, such-and-such techniques are tinder. More psychism to stop psychism is just fire on fire.
They're good tricks to know. They're the equivalent of an iron shield to dissipate heat, or building a flue to control the air, or wearing fire-resistant clothing.
But they don't put the fire out, do they.
One day, when your fire is not making your house too hot, perhaps you'd really benefit from knowing such-and-such techniques to more expertly control your hearth.
Let it cool down. Sweep the ashes out. Check your chimney. Do not be afraid of never being able to light the fire again.
Lighting it is easy. Putting it out is the hard part.
Strive to find balance. Some people like a huge bonfire once a month. Other people have tiny little fires to warm their feet that they keep going constantly. Others never let the coals get cold, and only stoke them for mealtimes.
Figure out what you need to make your house a home. Figure out how often to feed the fire to make meals for yourself and your friends, to keep the house warm, to make it a lovely place.
Learn how to let it die down. Do not chase after all shiny things. Learn as many such-and-such techniques as you like, as long as you understand they're fire too.

After seeing your post about the new ugly helluva design I looked it up and felt like I was reenacting "what, it's just its just an ordinary desiOH MY GOODNESS"
There is. So much to talk about when it comes to Beelzebub's design.
(Strap in cause this is a long one)
Tumblr media
Let me start off with one thing I actually LIKE about the design. The colors are good. They're appealing and I'll admit that. But generally speaking the cons outweigh the pros. (pun intended considering she's supposed to be the princess of gluttony).
SO LET'S GET TO THOSE CONS SHALL WE?
First off let's get this addressed. Her design is a cluttered NIGHTMARE. It feels like there were a lot of things that people "liked" as little details and instead of picking and choosing they just. MASHED them together to make this character. Like while looking at her face I noticed a few things. A lot of things. From her freckles to her second eyebrows to her- you get it. There is WAY too much going on.
Tumblr media
I genuinely cannot tell what's going on with her hair. Why does she have two different types of hair. SPEAKING OF HAIR her jelly hair is so fucking complex. There are ways this can be done WELL but this ain't it. Like for example look at Luna and Celestia from MLP.
Tumblr media
The reason why these design work is because both the hair and character are not super complex. The hair is the HIGHLIGHT of both of the designs.
Did Vivzie really just decide "I'm going to make a character that's soooo hard to animate."?
We haven't even touched on the motifs yet good GOD.
So Beelzebub is meant to have bee motifs/be a bee (not sure on which yet). So yeah we have a Vaggie situation all over again where the character is VAUGELY using bug motifs. As in you have to grandma meme squint to see those bits. Like i'll admit the antenna ear is pretty cool. But good god everything else just looks like such a mess.
Also did I mention she's meant to be the ruler of the GLUTTONY ring?
Tumblr media
Yeah she's meant to be Gluttony given form. But look at her. What about her design says "Food" or "Gluttony"????
Like food based outfits can be super fun to design. I have no idea what their deal was with this. The ONLY thing they did was give her the lava lamp stomach which only manages to clutter her design even MORE. If they really wanted to give her a lava lamp stomach they could've done it in a way that didn't have like. 3 colors in it, complicating the design even more.
She looks like she'd flit more with lust than she does gluttony not going to lie. Like the heart on her chest is a really DEFINED subject. If they really wanted to make her look "tempting" they could've done it and made it fit with the theming.
Simply put: when I see her I don't think "Gluttony" or "Bee" I think "Yellow wolf lady." and that doesn't make for a good design. A design needs to have reason. Like for example if you have a character that fights a lot you'd add things like scars or something. Things that show damage. It shows "Wow! This character has been in a fight or two before!". Another example: if you have a character that lives in a cold area they'll typical wear thicker clothing. You see what I mean? Typically a design is meant to show one of two things.
1. What the character is.
or 2. What they're like.
Let me use foxy as an example. (Jumpscare for people scrolling/j)
Tumblr media
Foxy right? He's a pirate. How can you tell that? Through his eyepatch and his hook! Classic pirate stuff! You can ALSO tell he's out of order from the damage on his body. The tears in him and his visible endo legs. He's pretty busted up and you can tell why he's out of order. You can ALSO tell he's a fox! He's got the cheek fluff, he's red, he's got them sharp ears! 10/10 fox. Can comprehend he's a fox.
The problem with Bee's design is that you can't really.. get a grasp on the what she is.
We've basically covered the basics of character design so we've swam in pretty deep so I think I'll cut this post here. AS A TREAT since you've made it thus far, weary traveler, I've made my own design of Beelzebub!

A/N: I wanted to write something more upbeat for the start of my series but I guess angst found me first. Reblogs and feedback are kindly appreciated <3 
Pairing: Hawks/Keigo Takami x Reader
WC: 696
Tags: gender neutral reader, relationship angst
♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎
The First snowflakes of the year started to fall from the Fukuoka sky. Well, they're not exactly snowflakes yet, the weather is still hot enough to make them into rain drops once they hit the ground. However, these snowflakes mark the beginning of a harsh and cold winter that comes ahead. Makes your walk to your apartment building colder, wrapping your arms around yourself to bring some warmth. Thinking to yourself about how the weather Is fitting to your life right now. Feelings of coldness, numbness and emptiness crept into your being after your talk with Keigo.
Your conversation with the number two hero lasted roughly 30 minutes or even less. There wasn't anything else to say after you poured your heart out and he gave you nothing in return.
Tears threatened to fall down your cheeks but you held your ground. You left his office with your head high and your hands trembling by your sides. Instead of facing you, he stared at the skyline from his big office windows, The sky turning into a yellowish/golden hue, closely matching the golden irises of his eyes.
You knew it was going to be a challenge dating Keigo, especially in secret. Hawks didn't want to expose you to the hero commission, telling you it could make you a potential target to villains and he couldn't have that, you're just an ordinary civilian—an ordinary civilian who captured the admiration of the winged hero.
Even knowing his real identity was an obstacle to overcome but he eventually opened up once he knew he was safe with you.
You had been going out for a year now, however, it didn't feel like you were dating Keigo, the real him. Due to his busy hero schedule, you could only meet up during odd hours and at secluded places, he would pick. While you didn't mind, you couldn't enjoy your time alone. Keigo would wear a cool, careless smile on his face throughout your conversations but you knew it was fake, you could read him like a book. His eyes scouted the place the entire time, paranoid that someone would see you two. Keeping a facade to the staff of the restaurants you dine at.
After all, he still has a reputation to keep up, an image. The image of being the suave young single hero, the poster boy of the hero commission. What would the public and the media say if they knew their favourite bachelor was taken.
In another universe, in one where he wasn't picked up by the commission as a young boy and became a hero for them to use. You and Keigo would both be civilians. There would not be any reputation to keep up, any secrets to conceal. He would be all yours, you would know the real him. You're jealous of that universe's you. They had all that while you only had small glimpses of it.
Tears started falling down your cheeks as the snowfall transformed into rainfall, raindrops mixing with your tears making them ricochet around your face. You want to believe that what you had with Hawks was real because even with all of your issues, he became your home. Your apartment is just a shelter for your physical body, but your heart cannot go back to its home. 
You will never know it but you became a home for Hawks as well. You were the only normal thing about his life and he ruined it, on purpose. He wanted to fight for your relationship that day you came to his office after hours. But he knew it was for the best to let you go, he knew that as a high-profile hero, he couldn't have relationships like normal people do. 
When he does his patrols either day or night, he would fly around places you could be at, just in hopes to see your face again. On some days, you could see Keigo fly around, and the people around you make a fuss about it. All of them getting excited to see their favourite hero protecting them. While you just get a reminder that you could never go back home.

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑼𝒃𝒃𝒆! I think you two would work well together because he isn't much like his brothers. Even though he is a skilled warrior and a great leader, he wouldn't make any do anything they didn't want to do. He's softer than the others, and really listens to people. He has wisdom, and intelligence and that's from taking the time to listen to those around him.
𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔
The most open-minded of Ragnar's sons, he's also the most gentle and kind.
You were always close to Hvitserk growing up. You were the same age and basically grew up together. You had always admired Ragnar, even though you barely saw him. But you intently listened to his stories, while Hvitserk would wriggle out of his father's grasp and want to play.
Little did anyone know, that you had a huge crush on your best friend's older brother...for years.

He absolutely loves your stubbornness, he thinks it's very endearing. Ubbe likes that you stand your ground, especially with things that matter to you. That's one of the reasons he fell in love with you - your willingness to go against the grain, to stand out if need be. You're a leader in your own right.
𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅  
Hvitserk! Although you already knew that ... when he realised that his best friend and his older brother had feelings for one another, he was SHOOK. He avoided both of you for a few days to process the information. But after he did, he thought, "yeah...that's actually kinda cool".

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔
Arthur is actually very romantic. It was thought that he wasn't, but he just needed to do it for the right person.
He loves taking you on horse rides - he loves watching you atop a horse, with your hair blowing out of your face, the sun shining down upon you. He wishes he could capture this moment forever.
Is actually very protective, and can get jealous easily. He will puff out his chest and pull rank whenever the knights are ogling you.

And I think those are the type of people/characters that you work well with - those that have a lot of love to give.
𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔
Completely and utterly enamoured with you, Will always has you on his mind. He likes to make little trinkets and gifts for you (he's actually very creative).
Isn't afraid of commitment, seriously, he isn't. So it wouldn't take long for him to pop the question. I'm talking like a few months of knowing you.
His pet names for you are, "love," "my heart," "sweetheart," "honey." Everything he says makes sense; none of it is said in jest, because he genuinely means what he says.

so uh me and my family went to go see ghost busters world iceborne today and it was fine kinda??
i do want to talk about it since i have a lot of feelings about it despite only seeing this and the original
but first actual thing that genuinely is awful that i do want to make known: if you’ve seen trailers you might know that the movie got sponsored by booking.com and yes they do shoehorn it in the movie. booking.com has very positive ties to israel because y’know travel agency and is one of several companies the bds suggests pressure boycotting so please please please do not ignore that fact about the movie please please please please do not support booking.com. do boycott booking.com.
uh spoilers below the cut i guess?
ok actual positives because i fucjing loved the ghost designs. cgi wasn’t great at points (main bad guy ghost dude i forget the name of looked best when obscured in shadows and not actually shown in detail) but the designs were at least done well. and phoebe and melody’s relationship was cute yet was done so fucking dirty. the movie did have good jokes and the acting was really solid, the world building is cool, and yeah if you turn your brain off for most of the film it’s fun. only when there’s action and ghosts is it actually compelling i noticed and it’s really sad since a good chunk of the movie is not that.
there’s too much plot ok. it’s your run of the mill family drama with ghosts sometimes there. i’m tired of the family is forever shit when it isn’t found family or paints the parents as “flawed but well meaning” and having the dad be lovingly stupid (gary’s technically not the biological dad but he does do dumb dad—pretty much flanderized homer simpson you know the trope), the mom strict to a fault but is right in the end, and incompetent brother who’s trying his best but needs a little help. most families are not like this. most families are dysfunctional in their own ways. you don’t have to have physically abusive parents or unsupportive parents to have shitty parents. painting families in this very generic way sets a really really unhealthy expectation that if your parents aren’t openly pieces of shit you aren’t allowed to hate them or if you defy them you’re automatically in the wrong.
but then there’s phoebe. oh is there phoebe.
i hate how in movies now to get across female empowerment is just make the girl super smart and be shoved in the spotlight too often. she is not interesting at all i’m sorry. you can tell she’s the smart one because she wears glasses and likes science isn’t that quirky? seriously when are we going to just get a strong female lead who has interests that aren’t tomboyish or *insert school subject here*? filmmakers do know that girls and women are also human beings with a wide range of individual likes and dislikes that can’t be reduced to tropes right??? again creating the unrealistic expectation that women cannot be treated like normal people unless they’re uber smart or uber strong. this is a problem for all minoritized group representation and i really cannot hate anyone who doesn’t like how the film industry is trying to bend over backwards for groups to force in representations that only hurt them.
biggest sin is she is not interesting on her own. she is so tropey it’s a fucking travesty. melody the ghost girl was the only compelling person—the only one who made phoebe somewhat interesting to watch—and of course she’s not safe from being a trope. i don’t like how melody has to have direct ties to bad guy mcbad and the sudden turnaround that, while it paid off for her, was rushed to hell and back for the drama.
and worst of all, there was homoerotic tension between phoebe and melody and nothing ever happens.
please just let them hold hands.
i know this is a mainstream movie so two people of the same sex even brushing up against one another is a crime but.

002.  EXTRA ORDINARY
near death experience… 
imagine this: finals week of your senior year of college. you hate yourself so you're doing a double major in psychology and sociology with a minor in criminal justice. school is kicking your ass. plus, you're working an on-campus job at the library (which really isn't so bad) & also acting as a research assistant to your favorite professor. hell, basically. whatever. it's fine.
you decide to cash in your final paycheck friday morning before your last final. normal things. until the horrors. how were you supposed to know that this was the day that the biggest bank robber group was planning to hit this branch? now you're going to be late for your final and have to repeat a semester because you failed.
or worse, you know, you could die.
there's a moment where everything you learned clicks. a guest lecturer last year from the fbi was talking about behavioral analysis and negotiation strategies and you immediately knew it wasn't your thing. but it could be. it's going to have to be.
despite what the robbers said, you stand up with your hands up in surrender from where you were kneeling with the rest of the hostages. you start running your mouth, trying to use the negotiation tactics the agent spoke about (later, you'll remember he said that it's only theoretical and shouldn't be done without practice and backup but if theory isn't applicable, then what's the point?). they listen. for a solid two and a half minutes. then they shoot you in the neck with horrifying accuracy. extraordinary accuracy, even.
you don't really get to mull on that thought for long because you're bleeding out on the linoleum floor of this bank when you're supposed to be taking your final final and everyone and their mother is screaming in terror. whatever.
you've died.
and then you wake up in the hospital and mourn the fact that you're going to have to wait another semester for your degree. your advisor already hates you. this is probably going to push her over the edge.
power… 
power negation ! whats that mean...
literally they can negate another eo's ability.
for activation they need to look at the person, but they do not need to maintain line of sight.
they can hold the negation on multiple eos at a time, though it is a more difficult endeavor
as soon as they blink, its deactivated and the eo has their ability back
the negation effects, essentially, powers that people control. it doesn't work so well on physiological powers (ie skeleton physiology) but will cancel something like superspeed immediately.
they need to know that a person has a power to be able to cancel it, so those with 'silent' powers won't be effected unless they know you have it and know when you are using it
but it's not like they really do anything with their power lolz... its mostly just used to help patients with alleviating any side effects & relaxation
drawbacks / vulnerabilities… 
if something happens to their eyes they're fucked essentially. thats why theyre almost always wearing sunglasses/goggles (also helps conceal who they're looking at)
constant dry eye. and i mean constant. it's really bad and they have to carry around a case of special eye drops
major headaches because of having to keep their eyes open
absolutely no defensive capabilities lol. they should learn how to fight but they dont <3 theyre just a psychiatrist who's gonna hurt them? <3
(if applicable)  cerberus corp… 
not part of cerberus but they do see patients who are cerberus agents and sera is paid well to make sure they keep that information extra confidential. doesn't really gaf about cerberus
codename… 
some of their younger patients came up with it as a joke during a group session and it stuck
003.  HEADCANONS
their power is. known. they are a known psych for extra ordinaries in particular and as a way to connect they do advertise that they can cancel out patients' powers during sessions. do what you will with that
was married to daphne torres for a few years until their divorce in 2020. :) why? well. thats for me and daisy to know.
since 2020 has gotten a bit... reckless.......... still has a tendency to therapize friends / dates / hookups but now theyre more casual about umm patient details ..... sprinkles some hipaa violations into here...
has a fish. unnamed.
does Not Care about villains or heroes or anything anymore like YOU ALL HAVE ISSUES
likes swords :)
a strong gust of wind could probably knock them over.
sometimes guest lectures at universities
004. CONNECTIONS
hook ups/ one night stands..... any gender preferably 38+ in age. villain hero etc doesnt matter to them anymore
patients. anyone. doesnt matter to them anymore
idk i think someone should teach them how to fight because if they are ever in a combat situation they r not convinced talking is gonna get them out of it but theyre gonna Try and its gonna end messily
??????????????? profit. idk.

Poly relationship with Hyojin and J-Us
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: the boys x female reader
Warning: boy x boy suggestive/smut activity
Being in a relationship with both Hyojin and Seungjun is like having more than you deserve. They are soft boyfriends: lovely listeners and excellent company.
Hyojin always comes up with the best advice when you are having a hard time. Seunjun gives the warmest cuddles. So you basically are not allowed to feel bad (of course you are but that's almost impossible).
Their sense of humor is enviable, except when Hyojin is hungry. For this reason, every time you all go on road trips, Seungjun makes sure to pack lots of snacks for his boyfriend.
These road trips are quite frequent. You all must travel at least two times a year. The boys serenade you on the way, like happy birds.
By the way, Seungjun has lots of creative pet names for his loved ones. He might have called you birdy a couple of times during last spring. He loves to see you wearing colorful clothes. "Look at our little doll, Hyojin" he says all proud and smiley.
He is impossibly touchy with both you and Hyojin and this includes PDA.
Hyojin is more discreet but only you and J-Us know how enormous his heart is. He goes feral if anyone talks shit about his babes.
Hyojin usually calls you love, but he has a thing for your name too. He sometimes shoehorns your name into the songs he sings and that never fails to surprise you.
He also has fun joining you to mock J-Us until he pouts. The best part of it is pampering Seungjun afterward.
There is smut from here
To say more about the pampering session, well, that sometimes turns into sex. Let's be clear about that: Seungjun is a horny person.
"You two are so cruel. The only way I'm forgiving you is if you all treat me well" *throws that naughty gaze* He is such a perv.
It is known that he likes being worshiped because he daily reminds you of such. Stripping him very slowly with kisses on his collarbones and abdomen must do the job.
But he likes it more if you alternate smooth touches and some sort of force. Just kiss him harshly in between and he melts.
At times when you cannot be together, the three of you, one of you calls and goes like "have fun but don't forget about me". Especially Hyojin because he can be jealous at times.
His possessiveness makes Seungjun pretty aroused. I mean, he even likes to watch as you and Hyojin get intimate. "I'm cool. You two keep going, just put a show for me" He suggest things and praises you all for being gorgeous.
The thing is Hyojin cannot deal well with praise.
I can see them arguing because J-Us wants to spoil him but that's another post...
Hyojin does not stop thrusting into you but he retorts Seungjun's praises with curses ooops. They are a mood.
"I don't mind you talking, Jun" you struggle to say since your moans crack the words in the middle.
After sex is full of kisses and lazy strokes over your bodies. Hyojin usually asks how you liked it and Seunjun cannot vanish that silly smile from his face. Hyojin makes sure everyone is comfortable and safe under the blanked when it is cold, he got warm hands and feet while Seungjun's are cold.
Indeed, they are more than you could ask for.

"You're a Young Lady Now" (1961) Booklet Scans
I’ve got another oldie for this next post. This time it’s a booklet by Kotex from 1961. Yes, Kotex as in Kotex menstrual pads and tampons. 
Or rather, in this instance, it’s Kotex as in Kotex sanitary napkins and belts. That’s what the cool menstruating girls used to wear.
This booklet is titled “You’re a Young Lady Now”.
Tumblr media
And now I’m having flashbacks to being twelve years old, horribly cramping on the toilet with my first period, while my mom says this same phrase to me through the door.
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
I’ve always found puberty media and information to be interesting. Thankfully, I had my mother and Alabama public school sexual education courses to explain it all to me. 
...
I’m joking about the latter, because I’m sure you can imagine what public school sexual education was like in Alabama in the mid 2000s. 
I'm being for real about my mom though. She supplied me with books and DVDs about puberty, and was always available to answer any questions I had.
She told me that she wished her mom informed her about periods. When my mom got her first period, she freaked out and thought she was literally dying. I do thank her for not making me go through that same torture.
Now that I’m an adult and do not have to go through puberty, I think it’s interesting to look back on the messages conveyed to us about puberty. Especially back when it was even more taboo to talk about periods and puberty in general.
So this booklet was quite an interesting look into the past.
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
Here is the opening page of the booklet, with a letter from an educational director.
Tumblr media
I don’t agree with the idea of putting the weight of having a period “changing you into a woman” onto little girls. I think it’s just another way to force girls to feel like they have to “be mature” when they are still in their childhood/growing years.
It’s so tough going through so many physical, emotional, and mental changes while being expected to be a “prim and proper young lady” at all times. Ick.
Unfortunately, the idea of permanently changing into a “young lady” is prevalent in the booklet, but that’s to be expected given the title and the time period this was published in.
I knew what I was getting into, I won’t fault it too much for that.
There is admittedly a bit of old school charm to it for me, even if I don’t agree with this aspect of the text.
I also really love the artwork throughout this booklet. The line drawings are so lovely and unique. I'll show more of those at the end of the post.
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
I wanted to point out the first paragraph of this page.
Tumblr media
I was quite shocked to read that the book acknowledges that you should learn the correct terminology, as opposed to tip-toeing around with fluffy nicknames.
That’s exactly what I’ve seen some people advocating for now with sex education - that we should teach children the proper names of body parts and body processes, so that they have the knowledge to accurately describe themselves and the changes they are experiencing.
However, in the last sentence of the next paragraph down, it loses me. As does the first paragraph of the following page.
Tumblr media
Ah, back to the days where it was expected all girls would grow up, get married (to a man, of course), and have children. And to never, EVER, talk about your period with someone who isn't a woman.
What if you don't have a mother or other trusted adult woman in your life? Well find one, as this is a LADIES ONLY topic that men CANNOT be privy to.
Snark aside, I do get it. It's hard being a young girl, and honestly when I was first dealing with this stuff myself, a man would be the last person I'd want to talk to about it.
And this isn't even touching on the fact that not all girls get periods.
I promise, I will not harp on about these time period and cultural differences, but it is interesting to see how blatantly some ideas are presented. Or the things and resources all girls are assumed to have.
The period science explanation text seems informational and all right, though!
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
The booklet’s next section is about how to wear and clean your sanitary napkin and belt. I remember seeing a lot of older media regarding “napkins” and “belts” and being terrified of having to wear them when I started my period. 
Thankfully, I got my period in the 21st century, so we had upgraded from belts and napkins to sticky pads with wings. So much easier.
The booklet then goes on to basically discuss PMS, without calling it PMS.
Tumblr media
I think the book could have been kinder here. They could have explained that the severity of period symptoms vary from girl to girl, rather than blame developing girls who are in pain, upset, and lashing out as “rude”, “mean”, and “hard to live with”. 
The phrasing of this section very much implies not to be that kind of girl when on your period, and to stop being so self-absorbed.
I feel like it's hard not to be self centered when you are experiencing your first year or so of having a period.
Just saying, I worked myself up into a "dither" plenty of times during that period (lol) of my life.
Pre-teens and teenagers are just like that, period having or not.
Again…I know this is information from its time. I’m sure updated material is not so flippant about this. I just wanted to talk about it.
At least the book is kinder on the next page. It tells us that periods are normal, and there is room to learn to cope with being on your period.
I know as a girl, I felt like I would never be able to go through life experiencing a period every month.
Tumblr media
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
The book then discusses hygiene practices. Shower often, change your napkins often, wear clean clothes, get lots of sleep, rest when you need to, etc. 
Tumblr media
And I like the message of not letting being on your period hold you back from the activities you want to do while still being conscientious about your health. I know I’m prone to becoming dehydrated while on my period…I imagine most people are since you are losing blood.
I’m not going to even fault them for the “Just looking neat and pretty will help you feel better” line.
Because honestly? They’re right to some extent. 
I know I feel better on my period when I take the time to clean myself up and get “presentable”.
Do I think that’s a hard and fast rule for everyone? Of course not, I have plenty of period days where I am an unshowered bed goblin.
But I won’t deny that those are the days I tend to feel worse than usual.
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
The next couple of pages basically say to have good posture and eat your fruits and veggies. Pretty typical stuff.
There is then some information on how to dispose of your used napkins, and some advertisements and diagrams for how to use Kotex napkins and belts.
Tumblr media
Remember, this is a Kotex sponsored booklet. So some advertising is to be expected.
All I'm gonna say is I'm so glad these belts aren't still a thing.
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
I wanted to show off this glossary of words in the back of the booklet.
Tumblr media
To be honest, I’m not exactly sure why urinate, urine, and tissue are on this list. None of these words were mentioned or alluded to in this booklet. 
I think tissue would’ve been important to touch base on, as sometimes clumps pass during menstruation and can be rather shocking, but it wasn’t mentioned or explained at all other than here in the glossary. Missed opportunity.
I can only assume urine and urinate are on here because you go to the bathroom when on your period…that’s the only reason I can think of as to why they are relevant. 
And here is the last page of the booklet: the Kotex period tracker calendar!
Tumblr media
For all your July 1964 - December 1965 needs!
Too bad this serves no use to us now!
。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°
Lastly, here’s a compilation of the notable artwork in this book, just because I love it. I’ll probably repeat some of the art seen in the previous pages, but I've edited them all to give the art more focus without the text.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
