*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ love language (verse v); s.g.

synopsis: it's utahime's birthday and you play spin the bottle... bonus, you're tipsy! content: canon divergence (teen!gojo era), fem!reader, hopeless romantic gojo, underage drinking, seven minutes in heaven (probs done wrong? idk), semi-first kisses, not beta read (sorry for any errors!) note: here's another one shot for my gojo anthology series! I found out it's utahime's birthday (2/18) so I managed to pull something together for this lil series (happy birthday utahime)! wanna be tagged? lmk in the replies!

"Happy birthday, Utahime!" Shoko exclaimed, wrapping an arm around the dark haired girl, clinking her beer with hers as the two chugged. There was an obvious buzz in the air, not only them, but everyone else. Mei Mei managed to get a private room where no one would question what was going on inside, seeing as some of the attendees were underage—yourself included. Your interest had always been piqued by it, this not being the first time your friends had beer around you. However, this was your first time having it... And you weren't the only one.

"Who would've thought you were a lightweight," Mei Mei piped as she nudged Gojo with her shoulder. "You never bothered to drink with us before, what's changed your mind?" Smirking at him, already knowing the answer, the older woman gazed at the white haired boy as his cheeks burned a bright pink. His eyes shifted in your direction—where you had been huddled up with the birthday girl and Ieiri. "Oh, trying to impress someone, huh?"

"Shut up," Gojo mumbled, rubbing his cheeks as his body slightly swayed. "I didn't want to be a party pooper..." Eyeing you as you laughed, Satoru felt his heart race faster than it ever had in his life. He blamed it on the alcohol. "It tastes like shit."

"Then why do you keep drinking it?" Geto asked, now settled beside his best friend. "You hate beer, the first time you tried it at Shoko's birthday was enough to stop you."

"It's because he's trying to impress little miss sweetheart over there," Mei Mei nudged her head in your direction. Suguru looked over, not surprised that he was doing this just to look cool in front of you.

"She's not gonna care if you hate it, Satoru," Suguru nudged him. "This is her first time, too."

"That's exactly... why," Gojo hiccuped. "If she can do it, so can... I!" He nodded, lifting his bottle to take another swig. Instantly hissing at the taste, squeezing his eyes shut as he shook his head, Geto laughed beside him before patting his back. "I'm trying to find a way to enjoy this but, god it's aw—"

"Satoru!" You exclaimed, waving at him before stumbling over. Falling to your knees in front of him and smiling wide, waving your own bottle before him. "This is really good, right?" You asked, realizing he had chosen the same beer as you.

"Y—" choking on his words, Suguru smacked his back. "Yeah! To— Totally!"

Giggling, you made your way beside him as Mei Mei crawled away to sit with the other girls. "This is so much fun... what a great party," you beamed, leaning your head on his shoulder. Gojo grew stiff, grip on the bottle tightening as his free hand clutched onto his knee. Geto sat there with a smug grin, an idea coming to mind as his focus shifted towards the empty bottles.

"Hey, I've got an idea," he spoke up, moving onto his knees to grab an empty bottle. "Let's play spin the bottle, hmm?"

"Yes!" Utahime nodded, tugging on Shoko's sleeve and waving for Mei Mei to move over so they could form a circle.

"That'll be fun!" You nodded after lifting your head from Gojo's shoulder, grabbing his wrist so he could join you.

He wasn't sure if it was the liquid courage, or maybe he was hyper aware, but you were being more touchy with him. Normally, you kept things cordial, constantly smiling or laughing with him as he was the one finding ways to touch you... Now with the tables turn? His heart was basically at the pit of his stomach, slightly trembling as you sat practically thigh to thigh with him.

"Okay, let's do truth or dare," Suguru said as he settled the bottle, "whoever it lands on has to answer. Got it?" Seeing everyone nodded, the dark haired man grinned as he eyed his best friend, who basically looked like he was disassociating from the world.

"Let's go!" Utahime exclaimed before clapping.

"Birthday girl has the honor," Suguru nodded as Utahime beamed before reaching over to spin the bottle.

Everyone watched with curious eyes, and like that, one by one everyone took a turn to spin the bottle. Most answered with truth, only to earn an annoyed groan from Mei Mei saying how things need to change up.

Spinning the bottle, Mei Mei smirked as it landed on Gojo, "truth or dare, blue eyes."

Gulping, he eyed everyone as they eagerly watched him. Sucking in a sharp breath, he sat up, "dare."

"Finally," Shoko mumbled as Utahime stifled her laughter.

"Perfect, I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with cutie over there," Mei Mei nudged her head in your direction. "No take me backs, get in there," she pointed at the tiny supply closet behind the two of you. Gojo looked over with hesitation as you blushed.

"Okay!" You nodded, standing up and grabbing his hand to join you.

He felt like he had no control over his body, following you along the way and nearly tripping over his own feet as you practically shoved him inside once opening the door. Watching as you followed inside, shutting the door behind you as you were pressed against one another, Satoru held his breath. Looking down at you with wide eyes as your own looked up at him, hooded, he felt his heart thudding against his ribcage.

Pressing your hands against his chest, you smiled up at him. "We've got seven minutes in here..." you said.

"You— you think they'll make us... stay that long in here?" He stuttered as you shrugged, only to shyly look away.

"I hope so..." you admitted, nibbling on your bottom lip.

Eyeing you and wanting nothing more than to touch you, Gojo clenched his fists at his sides before throwing his head back. His mind was racing, thoughts rushing around as he felt not only your hands on him, but your whole body. It took his entire being—and willpower—to fight the blood rushing towards a place it shouldn't be. Not in a moment like this. Even if it was meant for that. "You... Uh..."

"Hm?" You looked up at him as he lowered his focus to meet yours.

"N— Nothing, heh..." he awkwardly looked away, lifting his hand to rub the back of his neck.

"Satoru..." you spoke up.

"Yeah?" He mumbled.

"Please look at me..." you begged but he stubbornly kept his eyes on the wall beside him. "Toru..." you quietly spoke as the man shivered at the sound of his nickname. "Please..."

Feeling your hands snake their way up to his face, you gently turned his head to look at you. "I— I—"

"At a loss for words?" You tilted your head, teasing him as he blinked. "Can I kiss you?"

Feeling his heart sink as you gazed up at him with lazy eyes, Gojo took in deep breaths, "you— you want to... kiss me?" He asked, gulping.

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to..." you nearly whispered, causing Satoru to shiver yet again. The feeling of your nails gently caressing his skin as you didn't bother to look away, Gojo squeezed his eyes shut. How were you being the bold one? How did you have the power to always turn him into mush? Sure, you had liquid courage, but even when you weren't tipsy you had him so easily wrapped around his finger! "Toru?"

"Yes," he nodded.

"Yes... I can?" You asked as he nodded again.

"Please..." he whispered, begging. He knew this wasn't the right time to get his first kiss from you (or ever) but he was so desperate and so needy. He should've said no, should've said another time. However, he was a teenage boy. He didn't entirely use common sense...

Tiptoeing as you tugged him down gently, hands moving to the back of his neck, your lips pressed against his. Feeling his heart in his throat as he gazed at your closed eyes, Gojo's shaky hands settled on your hips as he kissed you back, indulging in this (what felt like) once in a lifetime opportunity. Surely neither of you would never forget.

"So, how was it?" Shoko asked as she sat beside you on a bench, enjoying a pair of strawberry milk boxes during your break from training.

"How was what?" You tilted your head.

"Your seven minutes in heaven with Satoru," she chuckled, only to earn a confused look from you. "Y'know, last night?"

"Seven minutes in heaven with Satoru?" You asked as she nodded. "I don't remember that..."

i think ive decided fr actually. good lord you guys better appreciate this bc i dont know if i ever intended to think this intensely about this au....

and sorry if u dont like it but it's my au <3

heroes

Patton Foster (alias: Guardian. Just a normal guy who trained super hard, has a handful of cool tech and a mask. He's basically Batman. - Costume is probably mostly shades of dark grey / light grey and pale blue highlights - has a cowl)

Roman Valdez (alias: Hurricane. He's basially Superman, was an alien baby who crashlanded on earth. - Costume is white with a red? gold? H on his chest, red cape, red boots and gloves. probably not masked Or has a little over-the-eyes Green Lantern/Mr Incredible style mask. Probably built like Mr Incredible too)

Remus Valdez (alias: Maelstrom. He's basically Aquaman. Also not human - half-Atlantean (im gonna steal this i can do what I like). Raised on the surface. Can control water and sea life, can talk to fish, LOVES octopi/tentacle motif above all else. - Costume: probably yknow super green black and silver, probably has that scale-like skintight chest piece and maybe some armour motifs (bc Atlantis) Face is not covered)

Side note: i think Roman And Remus were found by like. a lighthouse keeper. who went oh boy!!! free sons!!! and raised them as brothers. They fully consider each other brothers. they grew up together and hero together, probs dont live together currently tho.

also i came up with the names separately but it means they both named themselves after weather phenomena and that is twin behaviour godbless

the three of them have something like a justice league together - it probably has Other Heroes in it part time too but. waves hand. background characters. They have an HQ. Somewhere.

villains

Janus [Surname Pending] (alias: Siren. A magician-cross-catburlgar... he's like... Catwoman if she had Zatanna's powers and aesthetics. Magic is real and he has it. And uses it for. Well. Everything. Morally grey rogue rather than evil villain. He's still super fucking with Guardian. - Costume: face half-scaled (genuinely from a magic curse) the other half masked phantom of the opera style. wears like... a magician's get up crossed his canon outfit but with bootyshorts and fishnets)

Logan Sanders (alias: [pending]. He's not really evil, or, not if you ask him. But he does think having these so called super-'heroes' running around without a contingency plan is... irresponsible. In private he is building a mech suit capable of taking down Hurricane Should He Need Taking Down. Has strong morals <- not good morals, just strong morals. Sometimes funds smaller villains/rogues for ,,,reasons. Patton is his secretary but they dont know the other is hero/villain (a shame, if they were on the same side, they'd get along very well) - Costume: well. it's a mech-suit, bulkier / more armoured than, say Iron Man, but not,, like,,, ten feet tall. all cold steel, maybe burnished black in parts, and i can see it having a visor with electronic eyes that can be Logan's signature blue.

Virgil (Surname Pending) (alias: [also pending] <- probably storm Or shadow related. He's the most nebulous to me right now but tbh i can see a semi-harley quinn backstory where he was tangled up with a gangleader who won him over into a life of crime but he's not that happy (i.e., open to...persuasion) with it. Don't know if he should have powers or not... - Costume: blacks, purples w/ hints of yellow. Hood covers hair and eyes and mask covers lower face. dresses in layers typical of like... a medieval assassin (he's not an assassin) (he's probably killed people before tho)

Virgil and Janus have probably crossed paths before as their rogue aliases. Janus has met Logan (under a fake name). it's possible Logan (in costume, under alias) has worked with Virgil/Virgil's boss before. Generally, esp now Virgil's striking out a little more on his own, Virgil and Janus are kinda too low on Logan's radar for him to seek them out so far. (Janus likes it like that) (tbh so does Virgil)

#dj monologues #dj writes #nsfs superhero au #@.@ i think that's enough for now... it's midnight and im tipsy

headcanon: what happened during Kanato and Maya's wedding reception

A/N: Since posting the storyline about my OC, Maya Sakamaki, aka vampire doll, some of my friends have been asking me questions about what happened during the reception. You see, I posted a brief moment about it in one of the chapters of my fics in AO3, but I never elaborated.

But spoiler alert: sht gone wild haha. So yeah, here's my headcanons on what happened during the wedding. Please take note that Kino and the Mukami brothers weren't invited since it was a private ceremony. Carla and Shin were invited because they officiated at the wedding.

Here's how it goes:

Since it was a once-in-a-lifetime event for the brothers, Christa gifted them yet again another batch of those vampire juice drinks. And yes, Subaru wasn't able to escape this one. Like Ayato and Shin forced him to drink much to his dismay. What's worse? Shin brought a wine that First Bloods like to drink a lot and the stuff's waaaaay hard. Even took the initiative to mix them with the vampire juice much to Subaru's warning.

Yui didn't get drunk ofc. No matter how hard the drink is, our precious Yui never gets drunk. Maya, on the other hand, took only one sip and made a bitter face bcos she immediately detected a faint scent of alcohol

So all the bros were drunk. Even Carla and Shin!

Carla is this type of drunk who gets sentimental but unlike Reiji who cries a lot, he's the quiet sentimental. He even freaking sounds like the old man he is.

"The youth is such a lovely thing," he would say as he sips his drinks. And yes, they've lived longer than the brothers but they still get drunk. Dunno why.

Shin is an annoying drunk like he literally laughs at anything. He's not like Shuu though cause Shuu still has evil shenanigans. Shin just... laughs waaaaay hard at anything. Like every little thing he hears them say is a joke.

Ayato and Subaru are prob picking fights at each other cause drunk Subaru has turned into a more violent Reiji version and Ayato kept on talking abt violent ninjas attacking Kanato's wedding.

Ayato would also annoy the sht out of Subaru for constantly dedicating a song to Kanato and Maya so Subaru had to grab the guitar and threaten to hit the redhead with it. Shuu laughs at this and urges Subaru to just hit Ayato in the head.

Reiji ofc is a crying mess. He would be crying tears of joy bcos Kanato has all grown up. "I remember brushing his teeth when he was young cause he has a mouth full of cavities, but now he has all grown and married the love of his life."

I swore drunk Laito cried at his speech and said, "CAN YOU BE OUR MOM?!" But wait he already is

On the other hand Shuu made fun of his speech and said, "Are you sure he has grown?" And they were all laughing at his joke. Well he has grown but not in height

Kanato avoids crowds so he would prob be sitting with Maya on the staircase. Maya thinks he's just silent, drinking himself to his heart's content cause he still hugs Teddy while watching his brothers bicker. What she didn't know is that Kanato is a horny drunk.

Like one moment he was just talking to her about their wedding and the next thing he was already sniffing her. "Hmm... You used the perfume I gave you. That's great. You smell like marshmallows. Can I have a bite?"

Well, a flirting Kanato wasn't new to Maya, but he was being waaaaaay flirtier than usual, giving her those sweet, seductive smiles. He didn't even frown when she refused him or threw a tantrum. He's just like "Mmmmkay" and then he starts to show a trick up his sleeve by sneakily hugging her or dragging his finger on her exposed skin.

Ayato even has this one semi-blurred picture of Kanato leaning his forehead on Maya's, a pout on his lips as Maya tries to cover her blushing face. The story behind this is that Kanato kept on asking Maya aloud, "We're supposed to have sex, right? Let's do it now." Oh dear...

Carla would be so drunk he just fell asleep and the next thing Ayato and Shin taped him on the wall. Like TAPE. And he'll be sleeping there without even budging.

Because Ayato was feeling jealous of Kanato and Maya, he decided to flirt with Yui and do some French kissing. But the thing is, he's French kissing a vase while Yui was seated on the couch, observing him with shock.

"Ayato-kun, that is not me!"

"Shut up, chichinashi! You have no right to refuse me!"

Ofc drunk Laito removes him from the vase and lectures him. "Ayato-kun! Stop kissing the vase! You're betraying Bitch-chan and it will make her sad!"

But Ayato thought he was some evil ninja so he punched him and claimed victory.

Shuu and Shin kept laughing at all of them, even teasing the newlyweds about how to get the fire going in the bed. And since Maya was so embarrassed about the whole thing, Kanato smirked and decided to take the matter in his own hands by carrying Maya bridal style and taking her to their shared bedroom.

Shuu and Shin cheered on the newlywed couple while Reiji only cried further at the sight of them

That was all they remembered until the next morning, Kanato woke up and he was horrified at the countless hickeys on his whole body. Like from his neck down to his legs, there are freaking hickeys and he has to go to school!

On the other hand, Reiji was terrified, throwing his hands in the air when he saw their tall, spooky manor gate destroyed into pieces. What's weird is that Subaru is passed out in a bush, the lower half of his body sticking out from it.

Ayato and Laito were found a few minutes later on the balcony huddled up together. However, Yui was still figuring out how they both got bruises and bumps on their faces. What's more, there was a big tooth in Ayato's hand that resembles a fang.

Carla was still taped on the wall, sleeping soundly like nothing happened while Shin was buck naked sleeping on the floor near him.

And yes, it took them a while to locate Shuu until they found him sleeping in the bathtub filled with water. Like they even thought he freakin' drowned but he was still alive tsk bastard

So yeah here's what happened to them the previous night:

And in case you're wondering...

In a nutshell, Reiji cried at their own chaos.

32, your choice

32. If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

I'mma just go down a mental list of OCs for this as I go. XD

Let's see, well right off the bat...

John/Kilroy would be theft, obvs- though with the amount of times he's stolen stuff AND the combined value of it all would probably be well into felony territory by now. XD ; That said he's committed tons of petty theft as well, it's just an impulse for him- if the opportunity's there, he just takes it.

Echo has also stolen plenty of things when they were alive, and they help John steal things now, so... <XD Probably also in felony territory for them, but it doesn't really matter since you can't really arrest a ghost by normal means. I guess they've been punished enough by being trapped in a cursed mirror for a long time, though...

Mera... Trespassing, probably. If there's a mystery afoot she's gonna follow wherever the clues take her, even if it's private property. XD ;

As for ST1X, probably also trespassing, 100% because of Mera. (Semi-spoiler, but not that bad of one that I feel a need not to say it: in the comic she later fixes him up and he helps her out with stuff.)

Note is trying to deal with being a tutorial character living in a broken game, so I imagine he's done a ton of stuff he technically shouldn't be doing in order to navigate that, if you count the game's code as 'law'.

Chester does whatever the heck he wants.

Robo-N and R. Bunny are generally on the up-and-up, but they aren't officially law enforcement so by fighting bad guys, that would probs net a vigilante charge of some kind.

Same with canon Charlie, he's probably knocked a few skulls around and always dips before the cops arrive. As for cryptids AU... stealing food. Lots of it.

𓂃𓏲࣪ ʚɞ succesion/fall of house usher hotd au brainrot i've had for a while ♡. 。°˖

(feel free to use for like whatever i'm probs not going to write this)

Viserys owns a mega company that's been in his family for generations after his great great great grandfather ruthlessly took over the company his first wife aemma died in labor he has one daughter and heir to the empire rhaenyra. his business partner otto convinces him to remarry otto's extremely young daughter and rhaenyra's private school friend best alicent (She's 16 almost 17 when they meet and 18 when they actually get married and have aegon) knowing that they're son would be set to inherit the company as it's tradition that the first born son gets control over the company.

• Viserys and Rhaenyra get into a fight after while drunk at a business party she "sleeps' ' with the much older ex business partner and best friend daemon.

• Daemon is Viserys ex business partner and college friend (not his brother but viserys basically still treats him like one) who was removed from the company due to trying to pivot them to more illegal business.

• The issue with the strong boys is less that their bastards and more that they're very obviously not Laenors.

• The Hightowers are new money and the Targaryens are old money.

• Rhaenyra and Laenor only get married because rhaenyra doesn't want to get married and still wants to privately "play the field" and Laenor is in the closet.

• Viserys dies and "the family goes to war" by suing each other into oblivion, another who gets control over the company and ends up pissing away the family fortune on lawyers and smear campaigns/pr.

• Alicent is basically treated similar to Willa (Succession) or Juno (Fall of House Usher) until Viserys dies.

• Laena is an actress in this au! Rhaena wants to follow her mothers footsteps while Rhaena wants to join the family business (also Rhaena and Helaena become friends in this au cause i think i'd be cute).

• Blood and Cheese is replaced with Daemon using mob connections to have Helaena and her kids kidnapped. Jaehaerys is severely injured by the goons and is hospitalized for a while and is permanently wheelchair bound but lives. This drives Aegon to continue in his war against rhaenyra.

• Alicent homeschools her kids instead of sending them to the prestige boarding school the Targaryens have been going to for decades (she also redecorates the mansion due to it being mildly hideous).

• Aegon is basically a useless fuckboy for the first half of this drinking, using and partying constantly and wants to start his own nightclub but Alicent and Otto stop him.

• Alicent buys a cat once Viserys dies and it's her favorite thing in the world (Aegon jokes she likes it more than him).

• Aemond losing a eye was a prank that the strong boys didn't intend to go that far (it was revenge for Aemond mocking them for being obviously not Laenors kids) Viserys defends them saying it was just boys being boys and that they were sorry and they're all family ect ect alicent loses it and slaps rhaenyra after she suggests Aemond be sent to military school for "Bullying" her sons.

• Aegon is basically a twitter troll and chronically searches his own name to know what people are saying about him.

• Alicent starts out dressing more like a preppy teenager but covers up more due to her relationship with Viserys plus her being seen as a "Goldigger" by daemon and slutshamed.

• Aemond goes off to study business at a prestigious private university and meets the older Alys.

• This is semi inspired by a fic but Larys is very obsessed with alicent and 100% believes she killed Viserys (she didn't and is also a repressed lesbian in this au)

• Criston was rhaenyra's bodyguard before what happened in cannon happens and he confesses to alicent and Viserys gets chewed out and fired and almost fired later alicent comforts him and convinces Viserys to have him switched to being her own personal body guard instead of firing him.

• Alicent was into literature in highschool before dropping out to get married and passed that love on to Aemond.

• Daemon has ties to organized crime and instead of taking rhaenyra to a brothel he takes her to a private strip club.

• Rhaenyra was a popular online it girl until she started dating daemon, she argues with people who don't like him on twitter (they're basically grimes and elon musk in this au).

Yoga at Home with Expert Teachers live

A yoga teacher is a trained professional who guides individualities or groups through various yoga poses and practices. Their part is to help scholars develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of yoga, its principles, and its benefits.

Some of the primary liabilities of a yoga teacher include:

Planning and leading Yoga at Home classes A yoga teacher must plan and lead classes that are safe, effective, and pleasurable for scholars of all skill situations.

Demonstrating yoga acts A yoga teacher must be complete in colorful yoga acts and be suitable to demonstrate them for scholars.

furnishing variations and adaptations A yoga teacher must be suitable to give variations and adaptations to help scholars perform acts safely and rightly.

Encouraging awareness and relaxation A yoga teacher must encourage scholars to concentrate on their breath and be present in the moment, helping them to reduce stress and increase relaxation.

Creating a welcoming terrain A yoga school teacher must produce a welcoming and inclusive terrain where scholars feel comfortable and supported.

Continuing education and tone- enhancement A yoga school teacher must continue to learn and grow in their own yoga practice, attending shops and continuing education courses to stay up- to- date on the rearmost yoga trends and ways.

Overall, a yoga schoolteacher plays a pivotal part in helping scholars develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for yoga, while also promoting physical health, internal well- being, and a sense of community.

A yoga teacher is a trained professional who leads individualities or groups through yoga practices, including acts, breathing exercises, and contemplation. They're responsible for designing and leading safe and effective yoga classes, guiding scholars in correct alignment, and furnishing variations for those with injuries or physical limitations.

Yoga preceptors generally suffer expansive training and instrumentation before they can educate professionally. They may have a background in yoga, fitness, or other affiliated fields, and they frequently complete a schoolteacher training program that includes coursework in deconstruction, physiology, yoga gospel, and tutoring methodology.

Once they've completed their training, yoga preceptors may work in a variety of settings, including yoga workrooms, gymnasiums , commercial services, community centers, and private homes. They may also offer private or semi-private sessions for individuals or small groups.

One of the primary liabilities of a Yoga at Home teacher is to produce a safe and probative terrain for scholars to exercise yoga. This involves setting up the space with applicable outfit, similar as yoga mats, blocks, and strips, as well as establishing clear guidelines for geste and safety. Yoga preceptors should also be suitable to fete when a pupil needs fresh support or variations to a disguise, and should be suitable to give guidance and adaptations as demanded.

In addition to tutoring physical postures, yoga preceptors also guide scholars in breathing ways and contemplation practices. These practices help scholars to connect with their breath, quiet their minds, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and stillness. Yoga preceptors may also incorporate rudiments of yoga gospel into their classes, similar as the conception of ahimsa(non-harming) or the idea of rehearsing detachment from pride.

Yoga preceptors should be professed in working with a different range of scholars, including those with injuries, physical limitations, or habitual health conditions. They should be knowledgeable about deconstruction and physiology, and should be suitable to acclimatize acts and sequences to meet the requirements of each individual pupil. This requires a deep understanding of the body and an capability to assess each pupil's strengths and limitations.

In addition to tutoring classes, yoga preceptors may also be responsible for managing executive tasks, similar as scheduling classes, promoting their services, and managing finances. They may also be responsible for developing and delivering shops, retreats, and other special events.

To be a successful yoga school teacher, it's important to have strong communication and interpersonal chops. preceptors must be suitable to effectively communicate instructions and feedback to scholars, and should be suitable to make strong connections with their scholars. They should also have a passion for yoga and a commitment to their own particular practice and ongoing professional development.

Overall, being a yoga school teacher is a fulfilling and rewarding career that allows individuals to partake their love of yoga with others. Whether tutoring in a plant, community center, or commercial setting, yoga preceptors have the occasion to make a positive impact on the physical, internal, and emotional well- being of their scholars.

Blockchain Analysis and Technology Challenges over Cryptocurrency

Analysis

Blockchain technology decentralizes the administration of transactions and provides all participants with the same decentralised ledger or database, enabling users to exchange value between themselves without the need for middlemen (distributed ledger). Transactions are created on platforms whose nodes interact over peer-to-peer networks (P2P 1) over Internet connections and can be financial (cryptocurrencies) or of another type (goods, information, services, etc.). The blockchain offers a dynamic and unalterable representation or record of those transactions over time that replaces intermediaries and centralized trusted authorities (eg notaries, banks, insurers, etc.) that support the transactions for the digital trust that users have invested in this technology.

The blockchain development offers sharing and decentralisation (the same copy of the database in all nodes), transparency (all participants can see all the information contained in the distributed database), irreversibility (once a piece of data is registered, it cannot be modified or deleted), and disintermediation (without central arbitrator, the participants make decisions by consensus). The chain of blocks connects the series of transactions and includes a timestamp that gives the operations transparency and traceability without inadvertently infringing the users' privacy (the way can be known 2 and the content although it is not always feasible to infer the identity of the user). Actors can take on one of three roles: accessors, participants, and users in charge of verifying transactions and generating blocks. Accessors have the authority to own and browse a copy of the distributed database (miners). They each have a verified and individual copy of the database.

Each platform sets forth its own participation, functioning, and governance guidelines. Platforms, like the Bitcoin Cryptocurrency, can be open (public) if they are freely accessible (permission less ledgers). When participation, the ability to reject new members, or the opportunity of choosing the consensus process at the start of the chain are restricted, they are semi-public or authorized (permissioned ledgers). When a third party establishes the rules, they can also be private; in this situation, it is difficult to distinguish between a blockchain and a traditional decentralised database.

To access, sign, and encrypt transactions, blocks, and their chaining, the blockchain makes use of cryptographic security techniques. Private keys can be linked to the identity of the users or to intermediate elements; for example, the digital wallets with which the platform offers the anonymity of operations. The rules that execute the transactions can be established through smart contracts; in the Ethereum blockchain, for example, they ensure a common understanding of the transaction between the parties, in particular regarding the obligations contracted, offering limited probative visibility to the interested parties (the third parties of the blockchain outside the contract do not have access to its stipulations or its fulfillment).

Certain network nodes specialize in validating the transaction and writing it encrypted in the block, chaining it to the existing ones once completed. Before a new block can be added to the chain, its authenticity has to be verified by a consensus validation process. The consensus mechanism ensures that all copies of the distributed ledger share the same state. Once the transaction has been validated, the “mining” nodes update the distributed database by adding the transaction to the block of transactions in progress (it is not yet definitively registered); When this block reaches a given number of validated transactions, the "miners" proceed to seal it and incorporate it into the chain, leaving these transactions permanently registered.

Mining nodes use mathematical algorithms to convert the information in a block into an alphanumeric code or hash that links to the hash of the previous block and chain the blocks together. For each block added to the chain, the mining node receives remuneration in cryptocurrencies or a share in the business that is the object of the transaction; once a block is added, it is immutable. The participation of the mining nodes follows the rules defined by each platform regarding the consensus mechanism, which largely determines the security, reliability, speed, and computational and energy cost of the process.

Technological Challenges

It is challenging to address important technological challenges like scalability, standardization, or interoperability, aspects that have a particular impact on security. These challenges are made difficult by complexity, speed of growth, proliferation of numerous different platforms, or their high business potential.

The biggest public platforms' exponential expansion (Bitcoin, for instance, increased by 450% between July 2012 and July 2016) has highlighted the necessity for scalability. As the network expands, there is greater competition for validators, which results in longer validation times and higher transaction costs per unit. New consensus techniques are therefore required that speed up computation without sacrificing security.

The development of various solutions and the requirement to transfer data between platforms or utilise universal electronic wallets have increased the demand for interoperability. The lack of standards makes it difficult to reconcile various consensus processes and translate between protocols for data sharing. Interoperability between platforms will need to address requirements such as application usability, the ability to transfer assets, limiting the amount of transactions, preventing them, or establishing protections against fictitious ownership transfers, in addition to technological considerations.

A technological challenge in permanent debate is energy efficiency, given the high consumption intrinsic to the blockchain and the significant hidden cost linked to the consensus mechanisms for the validation and calculation of blocks carried out by the mining nodes. These elements indicate the need for more effective and secure validation methods that make it easier for autonomous devices with low consumption, like IIoT in the industrial sphere, to participate in the blockchain platform. These elements are directly connected to the environmental impact.

The Tang Family's Seven Os

What I Liked

The Straightest Danmei I've Ever Read

somehow it rly managed to be So Straight despite being a danmei, plays w All The Early 2010 Era Romcom Tropes n leans into it so so much like it's such a brainless guilty pleasure read

split into 7 arcs so it's a nice read in between other works... will do a bit of a diff format for this wn bc of the 7 arcs

wow they actually didn't make pheromone scents such a big deal which is like... p unusual for omegaverse. like there r some vague scent descriptions but for the most part pheromones don't rly play a big role.

What I Disliked

the romcom tropes... there r goods n bads, but just as the cliches r super delicious, it also gets all the bad things abt said cliches lmao

arc 1: "amnesiac, thinks he's in love w his white moonlight while also being horny for his wife" gong × "always clamoring for a divorce" shou

it. it lowkey feels like a budget mr. dior which is like lmao anw this first arc is a good way to basically judge the rest of the wn bc the tone is all p... like this. it's fairly standard stuff. cute, kind of infuriating in the way early 2010 kdramas tend to be, has questionable moments of "is this rly? romance?" but ykno what i'll lean into these tropes n just enjoy the ride

arc 2: "friends-with-benefits who like each other's white moonlights only to realize they love each other" gong × shou

one of my fav arcs tbh i especially loved the acting make out scene that got the shou being all hesitant bc he was abt to make out w someone who's not the gong n the gong conveniently having a similar body type to the actor n he subs in lmaooo urgh n also also the heat scene... when shou was in heat n just. seeks the gong by instinct. n they roll around in bed, in love but not quite admitting to it... heheh.

arc 3: "popular singer-songwriter, mysteriously protective, kind of black-bellied" gong × "pretending to be B, secretly milky and cute" shou

also fairly standard stuff, didn't rly dig this dynamic this time around. gong exudes protective but also questionably "r u a stalker for knowing these private info" kind of vibes n shou is kind of silly also their romance was like So Fast n i was kinda ??? ok then

arc 4: "'sugar baby' lawyer who makes way more than his 'sugar daddy'" gong × "became a sugar daddy to keep his first love by his side" shou

this one is rife w misunderstanding n miscommunication but it's one of the less... usual tropes ig. i like it better than arc 1 n 3 but if asked why exactly idk either i just like their dynamics even tho irl it cant work out like this like bro u dont just ask someone to bear ur child without properly being lovers thats not how u affirm their desire to be ur lover 💀💀💀

arc 5: enemies to lovers "pheromone disorder-afflicted can't smell anything military general" gong × "pretending to be B, tough" shou

one of my fav arcs along w arc 2, tbh this one could've been its own full-fledged slowburn wn going for ~80-100 ch. also has forced heat due to aphrodisiacs trope n shou asking for gong to permanently mark him n then they get married which is just hnnnnng. such guilty pleasure. the only gripe i have is at the end when gong says he likes the shou but doesn't ask the shou if he likes him back, n the shou is all like "if u dont ask me, how am i supposed to express my feelings" like bro just say it!!!!!! (on a tangent. this is why i like iwaol so much, that scene when cui zuojing realizes that it seems like he hasn't told dong zheng he likes him yet n just expresses it clearly n dong zheng kisses his hand... i melt every time)

arc 6: "was in it for revenge but fake turns to real" gong × "ice cold beauty" shou

mmg yes another delicious trope that's semi wife-chasing i Felt The Heart Pangs when the gong's "lie" was found out n the shou was so sad n then the gong came back n had to chase after his wife hhhhhhh at first i thought the shou forgave him too quickly but like shou is smart n prob understands the circumstances n their time apart gave him the space needed to think n stuff.

arc 7: "overbearing crown prince" gong × "earnestly trying to reform his seatmate" shou

another cliched miscommunication trope lmao this gong is more overbearing than the other ones... it was ok ig. wouldn't particularly look for this arc to reread.

love language(s) — himejima gyomei

Author’s Note: my thumbs are not green. 🥀 Gyomei would be disappointed in me... can’t keep a plant to save my life. Actually: if my life were on the line, then prob would survive — my competency isn’t that horrid. Other than that drastic scenario, however... rip any plant placed under my care. 😵

love language(s) — himejima gyomei

Himejima Gyomei x Reader

Word Count: ~1,800

CW: mild sexual content

Request Fulfilled: hello hello! may i request some gyomei hcs :> like,, what would be his love language/s [giving and receiving] hehe thank you!!

~faqs~

Giving

Hold up

Physical touch

Quality time

Gift giving

Verbal affirmation

What’s the fifth love language again ?? Trying to recall from memory…

AHA!

Acts of service (should be “5.” but tumblr formatting’s picky af)

So I must confess that I haven’t read any KNY manga 😬

Which means my perception of Gyomei is from the miniscule amount of screentime he got in s2 plus any fanfics about him that I’ve read

That being said, I feel like Gyomei gravitates toward giving Quality Time and Verbal Affirmation

Altho the softie in me *technically* imagines all the Hashira as cuddle bugs (albeit some more highkey than others) I am not touch starved tyvm Okay maybe just a little 😕

Gyomei just strikes me as particularly simple

Not like, simple in the noggin 😶

Just

Simply spending time together

And constantly announcing how splendid you are

He’s not into flashy gimmicks *cough* Tengen *cough*

I see him as someone who deeply values his alone time

Mind you, being alone on missions is different from having undisturbed time to oneself, ya feel?

Not to mention: it’s gotta be, to some degree, mentally exhausting to be moved to tears all the time — even when the tears are happy ones

So like, this man needs loads of time to decompress

And prob seeks out lower stim environments when socializing

At the very least, he’s gotta suffer from dry eyes

Have you ever cried so much that your eyes hurt?

Now imagining crying a lot

I presume eye drops exist in Demon Slayer?

If Shinobu can regrow Zenitsu’s limbs, then eye drops must be canon 😤

Welp, Gyomei definitely has a vial of dry-eyes-be-gone on him 24/7

I’m getting sidetracked

Himejima Gyomei’s the guy who’d rather read a book in bed with a mug of herbal tea vs go out with the other Hashira for drinks

And by other Hashira I’m thinking mostly Kyojuro, Sanemi, and Tengen (Mitsuri only goes when Shinobu does, and vice versa)

Initially, you’d be hesitant to encroach on his alone time

He’d never exactly uninvite you, but he didn’t necessarily invite you either

Until one day when you semi jokingly remark while returning from a joint mission, “Gyomei-san, are we even romantically involved? We hardly do anything together. Unless you count fighting demons?”

And suddenly, he’s inviting you to practically everything he used to do alone

Book in bed with a mug of herbal tea? He wants you there ✅ Begins stock piling your favorites

Morning meditation? Invitation sent ✅ Whether or not you wake up in time to join him is entirely up to you 😴

Watering his plants? ✅ Begs you to come along, which, you almost regret bc he has sooo many plants and it’s stiflingly humid in his greenhouse yes this man has a private greenhouse, author makes the rules and he takes foreeevvverrr to water them bc, “They each need 30 seconds of water, 3 times. Okay, [y/n]-san?” buuut he’s a cutie 🌻 so mostly you just feel honored that he trusts you to care for his plants

As much as he enjoys being deployed on missions with you, he does not consider fighting demons to be quality time 🙄

You lowkey wrecked him asking if y’all were “even romantically involved” bc ?? 😭 He adores you ?? 💖 Cherishes you ?? 💗 Loves you ?? 💝

You’d literally sent him in a tizzy

“What if [y/n]-san breaks up with me?” Oh wait 😐 They don’t even know whether we’re together

Dw, he wasn’t frustrated by you

Mostly just distraught at his own lack of recognition that you needed ✨attention✨

P.S. The morning after your fateful remark, you’d awoken to a letter slipped under your front doorstep inviting you most affectionately and hopefully to join Gyomei for an evening stroll 💌

Srsly tho

He has the time to water a bajillion plants on the daily

—Logistical plothole here what with frequently being away on missions: I’m aware 🙃

—But that’s what hiring gardeners is for 🤗

But the most important plant was wilting before his very own eyes and he didn’t fricking notice ?!?!

You’re his prettiest-flower-that-isn’t-a-flower

Ofc, he doesn’t douse you with water

He douses you with thoughtful compliments

Exhibit A: “The color of your haori truly highlights the gentleness of your eyes.”

Exhibit B: “Your fingers are so elegant plucking the dead leaves from my hostas. Thank you for pruning them with me.”

Exhibit C: “Your laughter is a butterfly’s wing against my cheek — so light and tender, and capable of granting me endless joy.”

He douses you with encouragement and pride

Exhibit A: “Thank you for cooking dinner [y/n]-san. You’re doing a wonderful job! I’m sure you won’t overcook the rice this time.” And if you do, then he’ll try his best to only cry a little, just for you

Exhibit B: “I’m so impressed you beheaded that demon before me, [y/n]-san! May I watch you train sometime? It’s been a while since we sparred, and I believe I could learn a thing or two from you.”

—He really didn’t let you have it

—No, really 😌

—It was all you baybee 🥳

—Okay so he might have accidentally absolutely unintentionally moved a tad slower than you so you could reach it first

Exhibit C: “I know it hurts, [y/n]-san, but I know you can handle it.” this will remain appropriate, unfortunately “A wayward sprain could never restrain your resilience and spirit.”

—He still cries as you hobble around adorably, then cries bc he just wants you to okay, and cries some more bc he gets to scoop you into his arms and tuck you into his bed — the injured must rest!

And most annoyingly significantly, he douses you in nonstop-when will it stop-plsmakeitstop-he really doesn’t have to continue feeling so guilty about it reassurance of your romantic involvation I don’t think “involvation” is a real word oops

Exhibit A; Random Day | Random Location | Random Time: “Do you know who my romantic partner is, [y/n]-san?” he smiles widely. You sigh. “You are, [y/n]-san! You are my romantic partner.”

Exhibit B; Random Day | Gyomei’s Greenhouse | Early Afternoon: “Do you know what romantic partners do, [y/n]-san?” he leans down and pecks the top of your head cheerfully. You groan. “They nurture nature together! And [y/n]-san — we nurture nature together!”

Exhibit C; Random Day | Gyomei’s Bed | Nightfall: “Do you know what the worst part about having a romantic partner is, [y/n]-san?” he murmurs softly, bookmarking his page as he angles his body to face yours. You lay your book aside as well, quietly placing your hands over his. “It’s knowing there could never be enough clothes, rope, string, anything, to escape the depth of your devotion to them,” he pauses, struggling to collect himself, “But that is also the best part. You are my partner, [y/n]-san, and I am devoted to you.”

—

Ahhhhh

Gyomei, devoted, to you

His time spent, on you

His words spoken, to you

What a gem 💎🥺

Receiving

Time to give myself emotional whiplash transitioning from that bucket of fluff to another bucket of fluff

—

Imo, the language that screams GIMME the most for Gyomei

… as in, he’s screaming “GIMME” 😂

Is Physical Touch

Except he’s actually suuuper bashful about it

And never screams for it

—That’s his job

—To make you scream for it 😳

—That was an attempt at what I’d hoped would be a hilarious innuendo

—Guess not ☹️

It took you a while to figure him out

He doesn’t exactly shy from your touch

More like melts into it ☺️

But the only physical touch he’s naturally comfortable asking for is… 🥁🥁🥁

Holding hands 🤝

Beyond holding hands, Gyomei relies on you to lead the way

Creating a sort of catch 22, because you try your best to be cognizant and respectful of his upbringing

Which, his upbringing ≠ Physical Touch

Usually, you initiate touch in bed

Not like that

Yeesh

I already told you this will remain appropriate, unfortunately 👀

You initiate touch in bed, away from curious eyes, immersed in the soothing glow of cerulean and lavender lanterns — hand painted by you and Gyomei

Toasty, sweet aromas of sobacha and kuromamecha tea cling to his olive green kakebuton, a gift from you to him “just because”

As the moon peers above the horizon, you’re tentative, knee leaning lightly into his thigh, your arm barely skimming his, the turning of pages floating pleasantly between you

Sitting in his bed, beside him, because he wants you there, is achingly meaningful

You move like honey as the moon ascends, a brush of your elbow against his ribcage here, a tap of your fingertip on his hip there

Not teasing, not seducing — easing him into your closeness

The pressure of your knee leaning on his thigh increases and increases, until he gently murmurs, “I’d feel very happy if our legs were fully touching.”

When the moon reaches and rests at its highest point, you press your mouth delicately to his shoulder

Gyomei’s focus wavers, book falling from his grip to his lap, a low, contented moan vibrating in his throat

“Another. Please. [y/n]-san. Touch…”

“Touch, Gyomei-san?” you smile tenderly

“Mm…” he doesn’t elaborate

Doesn’t have to

You have him figured out

“How does this feel?” your fingernails scratch faintly along his jawline Mm

“And this?” you playfully flick his ear Mm

“You’re warm, Gyomei-san,” your body adjusts itself Mm

Taut as you stretch to kiss the corner of his eye

Familiar as you exhale slowly, breath leaving a quiet trail of goosebumps from his cheek to his neck to the edge of his collarbone; your fingers wrap reassuringly around the strength of his wrist, lifting his palm to your nose; you nuzzle cutely, nipping at his callouses; then, you grip his hand with both of yours, his fingers straightening as you peep at him through them

“May I?” you whisper

You release his hand, sleepily settling further into bed, rolling onto your side

So casually, so safely, you tuck yourself into his sitting form, hugging his nearest forearm to your chest as you pull your knees up

—This is how you fall asleep, clinging to Gyomei

His heart hums, a constant, mellow bliss

As he picks up his book, and continues to read

…

Before you even ask-

Yes, he fumbles his book every so often

It’s hard to read with just one hand holding (the book) AND turning (the pages)

PUBLIC KNOWLEGE;

fell from the sky, is an amnesiac.

loves potatoes & potato dishes. fried, mashed, stew. you name it. but shea also in general loves food of all types. something savory is what shea tends to always ask for when offered a meal.

beni hates them, feeling is mutual but shea tends to be semi polite & doesn’t openly admit their feelings against beni. shea describes it as ‘has a bad feeling about the cook’

suspiciously good with pokemon, esp alphas.

has been seen with blooming flowers, or flowers just so happen to bloom when shea is around.

a big fan of roselia tea. also known to grow flowers & plants for teas, also acquiring leaves & natural herbs sprouted from pokemon through peaceful means to create various tea blends. black teas, herbal teas, etc etc.

PRIVATE KNOWLEGE; ( most of these are post game understandings to shea )

is born from arceus & shaymin, is not a human or a pokemon but somewhat both. however if one would list shea’s species the more appropriate descriptor is demi-pokemon. there is a lot of nuance to it that arceus will never explain.

the creation trio are considered direct ‘siblings’ to shea. while all of the pkmn arceus created aren’t related persay, there is a direct correlation between shea & the creation trio. it’s somewhat effective to say shea is cousins w/ any other sinnoh legendary or mythical. obvs all shaymin are directly related in the sense that shea is also sorta a shaymin. shaymin perceive shea as one of their own kind.

throughout the game shea remembers things little by little, but tends to lie about what they remember. after the fight w/ volo arceus comes to shea personally & restores their memory as whole however shea keeps that a secret as revealing that they remember who they are would reveal their origins & it’s probs best to keep that from her human buddies as best possible. however in more modern time eras, shea tends to just mess w/ ppl who guess what their origins are.

shea is actually capable of controlling nature to a small degree. at some point shea realizes the effect they have on the fauna around them & goes out of their way to figure it out & explore that side of themselves. it isn’t until after arceus restores shea’s memories does shea find themselves with more control of this power as now they have understanding of it completely---- shea uses it to help shaymin & other seasonal pokemon change the season. keeping flowers growing, turning the leaves. shea is also capable of what can be described as pokemon moves. shea can produce something akin to a seed flare, however it completely drains them after. but they can also use leaf storm, leaf blade, energy ball, petal dance, & vine whip. most of these are attack based moves, shea is not capable of using moves that absorb life in any sense. shea tends to use these on accident before their memory is restored as a defense mechanism.

shea’s fav colors aren’t pink & green they do love pastels though.

post game stuff but shea gets so mad that gracidea’s can make some shaymin transform into a forme that can fly & not them. they get so heated they love flying. they try to be humble about it but inside they are RAGE

#( about / lore / headcanon. )#( ooc; do not reblog. )#this took a min cause i got distracted

u asked someone to remind you to post about your pjo dual protagonist thalia/bianca au and i am SO intrigued by this idea please say more

anon asked: hey queen hope your homework went good yesterday 🌸…now what were you saying about thalia and bianca 😳 ?

ok y’all i’m here...the moment almost none of y’all have been waiting for....bianca/thalia protagonists with alternating pov’s au

warning it’s kind of super long and may or may not read like a 2nd grader’s semi-coherent game of pretend so under the cut it goes!

so the main things you need to know about this au are 1. thalia survives and 2. annabeth’s + luke’s ages are a lil diff bc canon is my sandbox 3. i can’t decide if percy exists in this au or not (maybe y’all can help me decide?)

so the first book:

would start a few months after grover brought thalia (12), luke (13), and annabeth (10, not 7) to camp half blood. they were chased by monsters sent by hades on the way, and thalia almost didn’t survive, but ultimately she got lucky and managed to send a bolt of lightning through her spear for the first time and they made it into camp

it’s been some time so annabeth is happy as a clam in the athena cabin doing her 10-year-old-with-severe-mommy-issues thing and luke is actually pretty popular with the hermes cabin bc he actually Met Their Dad Holy Shit and also he’s getting pretty good with a sword

at the same time, thalia is alone in the zeus cabin. everyone has been freaking out bc they all saw the huge bolt of lightning that incinerated a couple hellhounds as they made their grand entrance and What The Fuck Child Of The Big Three???

she’s also further isolated because chiron will take her for private training sessions sometimes, since she is clearly really powerful already and also Hades Himself was trying to kill her (chiron told her the reason was the big three’s pledge not to have kids, and maybe about the great prophecy? if he tells her that then she’s sworn to secrecy)

once grover leaves on another protector assignment, thalia mostly hangs out with luke, and annabeth. luke + annabeth both will try to eat meals with her at the zeus table but annabeth doesn’t want to get in trouble and luke is genuinely making friends in the hermes cabin so thalia will feel bad sometimes and send him back

kronos, seeing this bitter isolated child of the big three’s dreams: it’s free real estate

MEANWHILE

hades is Pissed that thalia survived and zeus got to break their oath And get the glory of a prophecy child

so he sends someone to take bianca (12) and nico (10) out of the lotus hotel and casino a little early.

grover is still their protector, but since the Stirring hasn’t begun in earnest yet and hades is lowkey determined to keep them safe, they make it back to camp half blood with no escort/incident

bianca + nico are put into the hermes cabin, and luke kinda takes them under his wing bc while he’s not bitter he still needs therapy bc this 14 year old has never met a pre-teen he couldn’t try to parent

luke introduces nico and annabeth since they’re the same age and they become really good friends!! she Loves mythomagic and he thinks her dagger is super cool and they’re both just really excited about camp <3

bianca is more reserved and resistant to the whole thing, and she wanders around alone exploring and runs into thalia in the zeus cabin

at this first meeting they get into a bit of a fight bc bianca is still in shock/denial about the gods being real, but thalia at this point has zero patience for this

anyway after that and maybe another scuffle during capture the flag or something they hit it off and become best friends in the way girls can, especially bonding over how they’ve both had to take on raising annabeth and nico basically on their own at the age of 12

~QUEST TIME~

thalia is given a quest for [unspecific reason] and chooses bianca and luke, they go off leaving annabeth and nico frustrated at home

quest hijinks etc, bianca is trying to figure out her parentage + her weird mysterious powers? and thalia is arguing with luke because he’s settling into camp/hero life really well actually but she’s getting progressively angrier with the gods for trying to kill her and also keeps getting dreams from kronos and doesn’t get why he doesn’t seem to remember all of the shit that the gods have put him through

bianca + thalia have las-vegas-style-heart-to-hearts where thalia shares her tragic backstory about her mother and her brother and how hades tried to kill her and even about the great prophecy and how she’s trying on this quest bc of that and her dad but at the same time these dreams are making her suspicious that he might’ve been responsible for her mom’s death.

bianca then shares her own stuff, about how terrified she was being on her own with nico having to protect him but also not remembering most of her childhood and not remembering her parents or how she ended up in the care of this lawyer and just the absolute mindfuckery that her memories/past are

luke is asleep in those scenes i guess lol 🧍‍♂️

anyway eventually they finish their quest in this massive climactic battle where bianca discovers her powers in a huge-showy-”i’m the ghost prince”-way and is formally claimed by hades which thalia sees as this Massive Betrayal obviously and bianca is horrified too because she knows what hades did to thalia but at the same time she’s just so happy to finally understand at least part of her past

thalia just reaches a breaking point though because everyone around her just doesn’t understand her anger and just when she thought she had found another sympathetic person who understood what she was going through she joins hades??? no. no fucking way. kronos reveals that he’s the one who has been sending her dreams, prob by sending some messenger who he possesses or smthing and when he offers thalia the chance to join him? she does (dun dun dun)

main beats of the rest of the series:

thalia and bianca on opposite sides of the war training to be the prophecy child, they come together a Lot and have like melodramatic fight scenes where they talk out their anger and try to get the other to join them bc they don’t want to kill each other

luke is extremely conflicted/betrayed and there’s a titan’s curse moment prob towards the end of the third book where they’re fighting and thalia is trying to get her to go with him but here he actually does go to join her (gasp!!) and is evil for at least one book but his heart’s not in it and he goes back to the good side eventually

by the point of luke’s betrayal, annabeth and nico are growing and developing and old enough to go on quests w bianca and by the last book they’re a main trio of sorts and their hypothetical character development is already making me emotional

there’s just a lot of general sexiness with foils and inner conflicts and bianca doesn’t even want to be the prophecy child but she needs to for the fate of the world and bianca is so angry at thalia bc thalia is a daughter of zeus and could control her powers and is perfect and just meant to be the prophecy kid, not some daughter of hades who they didn’t even have a cabin for before

hm maybe by either the last or second-to-last book thalia + bianca are close to reconciling or at least their interests are aligned for the moment and they read the text of the prophecy together and things go Wild bc they both think “single choice shall end his days” either is about luke or nico and it turns up the gas to their fighting both of them care about both of them and yeah

and then i can’t decide if there’s romantic arcs at all but if there were it would go like this:

just a dash of thaluke where at first it was luke having a one-sided crush but thalia misses him a Lot after she goes to kronos and wonders if it’s that she misses him or if it’s something More until to get him to defect there’s like a melodramatic moment in the fight where thalia kisses him and they go off to be Evil Together but it ends bc luke doesn’t believe in the cause and only joined her in hopes of getting thalia back to his side

once luke leaves/is kicked out thalia realizes that she didn’t love luke she just wanted a family and also in the second half of the series she realizes she’s a lesbian as a parallel to her redemption arc

bianca meanwhile is unconcerned w romance until she has her botl-hoe-moment where within one book she 1. runs into the hunters on a quest and has a thing with zoe nightshade who tries to get her to join plus tells her about that time she met thalia, 2. she goes to calypso’s island and falls in love w her in the moonlight or w/e and has her what-if moment, and 3. when they meet up that book thalia somehow knew abt zoe + calypso and seems almost angrier abt them than the war?? weird bc bianca knows that thalia is Totally Straight right??

my main point is that bianca/thalia is our friends-to-enemies-to-lovers endgame thank you i will take my pulitzer now

#this series is like. if the titan's curse was 5 books long and also specifically catered to 9 year old me #which is very girlboss me <3 #bianca di angelo #thalia grace #thalianca #luke castellan #thaluke #(just a dash. a smidge. for spice.)#annabeth chase #nico di angelo #pjo #keratonin #anon #answered #she speaks

take the sadness out of saturday night

word count: 2.8k

warnings: insinuated fem!reader, a couple of curse words, alcohol consumption, vaguely described feelings of inadequacy

recommended listening: chinatown | bleachers featuring bruce springsteen

a/n: will i ever write anything more than 3k? probs not. also this baby is completely self indulgent but i don’t even care

All you want to do is sleep. Or drink an entire bottle of wine. Maybe both.

Graduate school is a lot harder than you expected it to be. You obviously weren’t naïve enough to think it be as easy as your undergrad, but you didn’t think it would be like this. It’s competitive; with people doing whatever it takes to get ahead. You’ve almost had your thesis topic stolen twice. The workload is also incredibly different. Gone are the days of small tests and assignments: everything relies on your thesis paper being of the utmost quality. You feel like you’re drowning in the middle of the ocean.

Today was the worst in a succession of terrible days. On the way to campus you dropped your coffee but didn’t have enough time to get another one. The conditions didn’t get any better once you reached school. Your lunch got left behind on the kitchen island and your advisor didn’t show up for your meeting, putting you another two weeks behind schedule. To top it off, you left campus later than usual and caught in the horrendous Philadelphia traffic. By the time you reach your apartment complex you’re thoroughly exhausted and two seconds away from crying.

How you can afford your current lodging is beyond you. Tuition is waived by the university, which certainly helps, but you’re mostly relying on loans. It will be a bitch to pay off in a few years, but you don’t have any other option. The building isn’t ridiculously flashy, with semi-outdated furnishing, but it’s in a central location that anyone in Philly would kill for. Every day you wake up grateful there isn’t an eviction notice on your door; though you’re very careful to pay rent on time. Only the small lamp in the entryway is on when you unlock the door, but you keep it that way. Kicking off your sneakers and haphazardly hanging up your jacket, you shuffle into the bedroom portion of the studio. The pyjamas tucked under the pillow are calling your name, and it feels so good to free yourself of business casual clothing.

The next stop on your mad-dash around in order to plant yourself on the couch as quickly as possible is the bathroom. You scrub your face vigorously, knowing you’ll pay for it in a few days when a breakout appears, but you can’t find it within you to care. It feels so good to be clean and in control of a situation. The kitchen is where you meander to next, filling the largest glass you can find with rosé. A bag of candy is grabbed as well, and then you’re tucking yourself into the corner of the couch and piling on the blankets. You open Netflix and briefly debate what to watch before deciding on something you’ve seen a million times before that won’t require your full attention.

Half an hour into the film you get hungry, but with no ambition to cook for yourself. Take out it is. You place an order at your favourite sushi joint and lazily return your gaze to the T.V. The scene on the screen no longer appeals to you, so you dig around the cushions to find your phone. It’s been a while since you’ve called your mom and you know she’s been missing you; truth be told you miss her a resounding amount. Philadelphia is a long ways from home and you can’t afford to travel often. Not being near your pillar of support is definitely wearing on you. She picks up on the fifth ring.

“Hello?”

A tear slips out at the sound of her voice. Yours catches in your throat slightly, and your response is garbled. “Mom,” it breaks at the end, and the tears quickly turn into a waterfall.

“Oh honey,” she sighs, chest filling with pain at your apparent despair. “What’s the matter?”

You sob for a minute or two before it subsides enough for you to actually speak. Through hiccups and sniffles you detail your horrible week, and the one before that for good measure. Your mom stays silent, listening with intent, and the one sided conversation eventually turns into you fretting about how you feel inadequate in your academic community and how you can’t picture a future. Only once you’ve ran out of words does she speak, negating the argument put in place by your imposter syndrome and doing her best to inflate your ego.

“You’ve earned your seat at the table Y/N,” she says with conviction. “I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you deserve to be there. You’re cut out for this; no one is more passionate about their work than you.”

Another hiccup slips past your lips as you respond. “Thanks Mom.”

You don’t have to see her to know she’s sporting a smile. “We’re so proud of you honey, and always will be. No matter what you decide to do. Hell, you could move to Peru to become an alpaca farmer and your dad and I would be the happiest parents on Earth.”

The comment is meant to make you laugh, citing the time you called her during your undergrad to inform her you were dropping out and moving to the Andes. It works. You can’t help it, and have to admit it feels good after days of negative feelings. She distracts you further, recounting a story about your youngest brother’s recent baseball game that ended with a trip to the hospital after an unfortunate sliding incident. You wince at the mention of the basemen’s cleat colliding with his ankle, and chuckle when she talks about Connor singing showtunes in the recovery room. The story swapping continues, and it brings comfort. If you close your eyes you can envision yourself sitting on your mom’s bed, hiding your face in a pillow when anything embarrassing happens.

A knock at your door ends your conversation, and the sadness slowly trickles back into your bones. “Mom, I’ve gotta go. The delivery person is here.”

“Okay sweetie. I love you.”

“Love you too.”

Having lost track of time, you’re wildly unprepared to pay for your food. “One minute,” you yell in the direction of the front door, praying the person on the other side heard you. You root around your wallet for the appropriate amount of cash before sliding across the floor and unlocking the door handle. The person standing there is not in fact a food delivery service worker, but your neighbour from across the hall, holding what you presume to be your dinner.

“Nolan?”

To say you’re shocked is an understatement. Though you’d go as far to say the two of you are casual acquaintances, he’s never shown up unannounced on your doorstep. Most of your interactions take place in the elevator or hallway, and you’ve only been inside his apartment once when you left your keys in your advisor’s office. Being a professional hockey player means he typically isn’t around a lot, but you had learned from a friend he’s spending the season sidelined by an injury. He still hasn’t been around a lot from what you could tell.

His low rumble catches you off guard for a millisecond but it doesn’t take long to adjust. “They, uh, sent it to the wrong door,” he mumbles, holding out the bag to illustrate his point.

“Fuck,” you swear. “Sorry. How much do I owe you?” A ballpark figure is in your brain, but you aren’t above throwing in a few extra dollars for the inconvenience. No one wants to receive their neighbour’s food.

Nolan shakes his head profusely and shoves his hands in his pockets when you try to slip the money into them. “It’s on the house,” he shrugs. “Think of it as an apology for being a shit neighbour these past couple of months.”

“You’re a great neighbour Nolan. I have no complaints.” He returns your smile but doesn’t speak. An awkward tension fills the air between you, almost as if each of you is waiting for the other to talk.

“Well I’ll let you –”

“Would you like some company?”

The question stops you dead in your tracks. A look of bewilderment must appear on your face because Nolan starts blabbering. “It’s just that you looked upset when you came to the door, like you’ve been crying. I can also see the nearly empty bottle of wine on the counter and that’s never a good sign.” He pauses for a second to take a breath before blurting out a final sentence. “And there’s a game tonight and if I don’t distract myself from it I think I might die.” Ragged breathing punctuates the sudden stoppage, and when you look up to meet his eyes you feel a sense of desperation.

Without saying anything you open the door wider and retreat into the unit, hoping he gets the hint. It takes him all of two seconds to follow you, quickly darting across the hall to lock his door. You’re at the fridge when he returns, and turn around to ask him what he’d like to drink.

“It seems like an alcohol kind of night,” you chuckle. “What are you having?”

He looks at you sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck. “Could I have a glass of that rosé?”

You nod and gesture for him to pass you the bottle. “Never pegged you as a wine drinker,” you comment as you fill his cup.

“Travis teases me relentlessly so I don’t keep it at the house anymore. Can only drink it in private.”

At the mention of his teammate’s name you understand. It’s exhausting to fit into someone’s mould of you. “Your secret is safe with me.”

The two of you migrate to the couch and once again become shrouded in silence. It’s comfortable this time, as you nurse your glasses and watch the skyline. Just having someone by your side is enough to quell the upset you’ve felt all day. You wonder why you hadn’t sought Nolan out sooner. It seems he’s been in a similar situation; having terrible days and feeling alone. Conversation only comes once he realizes both your drinks are empty. Nolan opens the fridge to find one more bottle of wine; a cheap, fruity one that’s meant to taste like a cooler. It’s strawberry flavoured, which equal parts thrills and disgusts him. He’s thrown back to his first high school party, when this was the only alcohol he could get his friends’ older sisters to buy him.

“I feel like I’m sixteen again,” he laughs, not bothering to fill his glass. Instead, he swigs from the bottle before reaching over the back of the couch and placing in your lap. You follow his lead, drinking directly from the vessel.

“Don’t judge me,” you huff. “I like the way it tastes.”

Nolan gazes sideways at you before dropping his voice to a near whisper. “Your secret’s safe with me.”

In a streak of boldness that came from god knows where, you place a hand on top of his. He doesn’t retract but doesn’t push forward either. You’re too scared to do anything else, and soon retract your hand and place it in your lap. “So,” you cough. “You need a distraction?”

☀☀☀☀

One comedy special turned into three, and it’s safe to say both you and Nolan are feeling exponentially better than when he knocked on your door. The alcohol flowed until you ran out, but neither of you are drunk. Perhaps tipsy; most definitely content. It’s so nice to enjoy someone’s company without the pressure of maintaining a perfect appearance. Nolan must feel it too, because he slowly begins to open up, talking about his career and ambitions for a life after hockey. You sit quietly, much like your mother had done hours before, as he describes his frustration with the migraines and how he yearns to bond with his teammates.

“I’m just so scared this is it, that I’m done,” he hiccups.

You tentatively shuffle closer to him, looking for signs that he’s uncomfortable. Once you’re squished beside him, shoulder to shoulder, you take yet another page from your mother’s book. “If tonight is a good indicator of who you are, then you, Nolan Patrick, are going to be just fine. Seems to me that this is nothing but a bump in the road. You’re destined for greatness.”

He smiles, possibly the first completely real one he’s given you all night, and it reaches his eyes. “You really think that?”

“Absolutely. Wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t believe it to be true. You see, in my line of work, truth is of the utmost importance.”

At Nolan’s incessant prodding you talk about school, your thesis, and what you hope to achieve. It doesn’t sting the way you thought it would, possibly because you’re speaking to someone who’s completely enamored with the topic. Academia clearly fascinates Nolan, though he makes it clear he has no interest in joining the community. The only way you can describe the feeling of explaining everything to him is refreshing; he asks insightful questions about your research and isn’t bogged down by the technicalities like so many of your fellow scholars. When you’ve exhausted all you can say and Nolan’s ‘poked’ holes in all of your theories, he gets a serious look and turns so your body is framed by his.

In this position there’s no denying how attractive he is. Of course you’ve always found him easy to look at when you passed in the halls, but knowing him as intimately as you now do makes you realize how much you like him. “Come to a game with me?” he asks.

Your rhythm is once again thrown off by the man in front of you. “A game?”

Nolan nods enthusiastically. “A game. I’ve been meaning to go to one for a while, but I can’t find the courage to go alone. The next home game is on Tuesday, but we can obviously go to another one when it fits your schedule. If you want to come, that is.”

He’s yet to be this excited about hockey all night, and who are you to deny your newfound friend something he wants so badly? “Tuesday’s perfect Nolan.” He pumps his fist in happiness and you giggle at his antics.

“I’m so happy I could kiss you.” It slips out before he realizes, and the shock on his face lets you know it was an accident.

“You can if you want.”

You’re surprised at your own boldness, but don’t have much time to read into what the statement could mean because Nolan’s leaning in to rest his forehead against yours.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

The moment his lips touch yours it feels like a homecoming. He’s gentle but firm, letting you know he doesn’t want this to be a one time thing without saying anything at all. Nolan brings to you a sort of warmth that settles in your chest that makes you truly content with how life is going. You lose yourself in him, letting your heart steer the ship. He never waivers from you, only pulling back slightly to card his fingers through your hair. They settle at the nape of your neck and make shivers tingle your spine. You’re impossibly close, but you wish it would never end. After what feels like a millennia you break apart, chests heaving slightly from the lack of oxygen.

You can’t find the words, but you know you never want to be without Nolan again. All the anguish you experienced earlier feels light years away after a few short hours of truly knowing him. It seems that he’s on the same page, because Nolan makes no effort to remove himself from the situation. In fact, he seems perfect content to never move again: arm comfortably around your shoulder as he places a chaste kiss to the crown of your head.

“So is Tuesday a date now?” You squeak, voice small. You’re worried you’ve ruined the moment, but he cuts off your overthinking with a squeeze your bicep.

“It’s whatever you want it to be,” he replies, and you know he means it.

You can’t help yourself and slot your lips against his once again. “I’d like that a lot. There’s one condition though: I want to meet Gritty.”

Nolan’s laugh echoes off the walls and sounds like the sweetest melody you’ve ever heard. “Think I can manage to pencil you in to the schedule. It has a soft spot for me.”

As he reaches for the remote to put on highlights of the game that’s well over, you shuffle to rest your head comfortably in his lap. Your fingers find his and lazily combine. Nolan mumbles something you don’t quite catch, something about a play Travis made, but you hum in agreement anyways. He’s most likely right. Your eyes begin to droop, and as you fall asleep you forget why you were even sad in the first place.

Literacy and Writing Style

I write semi-literate to advanced literate depending on the day and how much you give me to work with.

Third person, no asterisks (*), and use quotation marks (") when character talks.

When talking ooc, use //,\\,(), etc... to differentiate it from our rp.

No shortforms like bc, ofc, rn, wyd, etc... please write the full words. I wont be on your a$$ about grammar though. As long as i can read it idc.

Preferences

I'm most comfortable with bxg and sometimes gxg.

If bxg, i prefer the female role.

In terms of genre preferences, i have no genre preferences. But i am a sucker for fantasy and historics...

When deciding a plot, i'd rather have a vague/general idea and then brainstorm the details together.

I really enjoy a good slow burn romance.

Im too chatty for my own good, istg i never shut up. God must have forgotten to add the "stfu and sit down" button to me. So i like talking ooc, a LOT! :) introverts, you have been warned.

Expectations

I put a lot of effort into my oc's. Arguably too much, as i fixate over unimportant details for hours. I blame my ADHD hyper fixation. Anywho, i expect you to put the same amount of love and effort into your characters as i do.

I'm fine with originally drawn, cartoon/anime, or real faceclaims. But if it is not an original character, i'd like to know the faceclaims name. If its an originally drawn character, it has to be decent. That may sound picky, but i cant take it seriously if its poorly done art... not to sound pretentious.

For cartoon faceclaims, it has to be semi-realistic/realistic.

Our oc's gotta have the same kind of faceclaim. Example: if my oc's faceclaim is anime and yours is real, thats just weird for me. Our ocs would both have to be either anime or real.

Response lengths expected to be 100 words to 300 words. 100 is like, you can't think of anything. 300 is standard. You can go over this wordcount, by all means! Get them creative juices flowing!!!

If youre gonna be gone for an extended period of time plz dont allow me to think youve become amish or faked your death to start fresh in France or something. Gimmie a heads up.

Plz be comfortable to discuss your boundaries and things you'd like to try out in our roleplays!

If you aint feeling it no more, tell me. I promise i wont show up at your doorstep with a bouquet of roses, snot crying "PLEASE!! TAKE ME BACK!!! I CANT LIVE WITHOUT YOUUUU!!!". At the very most i'll be disappointed that it's over but whats life without a little let down? Kidding again, i'll probs be like "aight! Fun rping with you! :)" and be off.

Availability and Timezone

My timezone is EST (Eastern Standard Time)

Im currently a full time uni student, so yaknow, busy bee.

Im aware we both have lives that dont revolve around our little co-operative imaginary world of imaginary people doing imaginary things.

Lemmie know if you have a schedule to work around.

My free time during weekdays can be inconsistent, but expect me to be significantly less active.

Weekends are iffy, but that's when you'll hear the most from me.

Overall, im moderately active.

Boundaries

A wise man once said, "Have you ever licked a lamppost in winter?" ~ Alistair Theirin.

In other words, seggs. smut makes me kinda...uncomfy. If it does come up in our roleplay, i dont care as long as we can just skip passed it and insinuate it happened.

I wont do anything where our characters abuse or torture eachother.

For the sake of realism, conflict, and plot development, im open to controversial and dark topics being present in our roleplay. We can discuss this further privately.

Plz respect that im not comfortable revealing my identity or any personal info about myself.

Idk man I’m just here to write and have fun, dont be a buttface.
