sbi dlc again but uhh yeah idk

hey nish, so here is my ask for the match. thank you again, hope its not a bother!

i am an intj and more of an introvert. i can adapt well depending on my interlocutors and can be really shy as well as extremely outgoing. i love staying outside in the comfort of my house but also like hanging out with my friends even if i loose my energy pretty quickly. i am usually described as someone with a rather calm aura but the moment im really comfortable i am rather crazy lmao. i tend to lose focus quickly, ramble a lot (and forget to whom i said what) and can’t see for shit. i am a lazy perfectionist who hates things being done incorrectly but i want them being done quickly. i can be seen as arrogant but im a huge overthinker. I hate showing my feelings and have a hard time accepting my failures. since im always the youngest in my different friend groups, people tend to baby me which is really advantageous.

regarding my hobbies, i do ballet and modern jazz for more than fifteen years and it’s an art and sport that i am really dedicated to, creating choreographies and being kind of a scary mentor when i want to even if i like being like a big sister » so the youngest (im one of the oldest now). i also used to play tennis but outside those sports, i hate physical activities. i love manual activities such as making jewelleries, embroidery, crochet, drawing silly doodles and painting (even if i can’t wait until it is completely dry). i like reading (esp criminal novels) and love animes (my fav are haikyuu, hxh, fullmetal alchemist and bsd). id like to watch kdrama but i dont have enough time and can’t stay focused for so long anyways.

i am a sucker for light and dark academia and you’ll find me most of the time with velvet pants or oversize jeans and a pullover. finally, if i had to choose only five svt songs, it’d be 24h, home run, i don’t know, fallin’ flowers and hot.

thank you so much, i hope i didn’t ramble too much. love you!

hehe not at all! i loved reading all of it <3

when I read intj, i immediately thought about jun/hao/wonwoo but when I read it further, i thought that you might suit joshua more. but!!! when I read about the ballet portion, i just couldn't help thinking about dino!

so i match you with, wonwoo!

he is one of the most considerate individuals I've ever seen, he would be able to differentiate between your moods and energy levels and take care of you whenever you're out; it's like— he can just understand if you're drained or anything and would politely excuse you both from the gathering if he feels as if you're getting overwhelmed.

he would keep you grounded— scold you when you're wrong and empathise with you when you just want to rant. kind of like a very sturdy shoulder to cry on and your biggest motivation for any project.

he would absolutely love your calm-crazy dynamic, he loves it whenever you're so happy that your calm demeanor of an intj morphs into something more childlike and adorable. he also likes the fact that you have "maknae" tendencies, and would absolutely adore it.

he's not a perfectionist per se, but he has friends who are and rest assured that he will do his absolute best to help you take a break/ break your overthinking thoughts and help you get rational again. (vice versa)

you'd think that having a few hobbies to share might be a problem but it actually isn't; wonwoo is very happy whenever you're doing what you love and it makes him want to engage in your hobby with you. you both push each other to step out of your comfort zones and try out different things <3

and god, if you ever make him a bracelet, or crochet a small keyring for him, he's gonna treasure it; I think he might cry in secret too 😭

he also likes the fact that you don't like physical activities because then he doesn't have to do it, you both would probably spend your days cuddling or trying out each other's hobbies or cheering each other on!

he would be your biggest hypeman for your ballet and jazz music <3

1, 6, 8, 12, and 17 my hater in arms 💕

The character everyone gets wrong

OKAY this is niche and OUTTA LEFT FIELD but my favorite book of ALL TIME is we have always lived in the castle by shirley jackson and the HATE i see for its protagonist is ALL WRONG. It's in the same vein as like Chara undertale hate (another of my fave characters of all time) where peoples see a CHILD that clearly has a lot going on and are like. this person is irredeemably evil. no they're traumatized

6. Which ship fans are the most annoying?

bloodweave sorry bloodweave like. for why. why is it so popular why is it everywhere. like yeah every origin ship is valid and can be canon but like they both have much more interesting dynamics with other charactes. where is the gale/lae'zel art. hwere is the aslach (ass lack) or the aswylllach (ass will lack) art. why is bloodweave the most popular origin ship

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

okay this doesn't exactly fit bc i dont think it's super popular per se but it's on my mind today. i hate seeing fanart of kakashi and gojo together. people always twinkify them and alwasy draw them like they're about to fuck. 1) kakashi is not hot (dont get me wrong i want to fuck him but not cause he's like. physically attractive.) 2) they are not the same person 3) gojo will never be kakashi gojo wishes he was kakashi 4) kakashi would kill that man

OH OH ALSO THAT REMINDS ME I'LL THROW THIS IN HERE TOO. i don't like kakashi/iruka i think it's unfounded. they hardly ever talk. yeah they both love naruto but like can just be his mentor figures separately they don't have to be married. kakashi is married to guy like they are MARRIED. i feel like kakashi/guy would be way more popular if guy was a prettyboy twink (like iruka)

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

i wanna say wyll but like that shit actually makes me fucking angry and not in a silly haha way so i am going to instead say sera dragonage. now. i know there are a lot of sera dragonage haters out there and there are some things about her that i do not like. however i overall love her and i think she is a tragic case of bad writing and wasted potential. why did they have a straight white guy write a lesbian whose character arc revolves around internalized racism. why does the game literally talk shit about her during her romance arc. literally one of her romance quests is "you love sera and wanna get her something to show her how much you care. go ask your friends for gift advice" and EVERY SINGLE COMPANION OR ADVISOR IS JUST LIKE. I HATE SERA SHES SO ANNOYING WHY ARE YOU DATING HER. UGH. ALSO. the game makes you be so mean to her!! so many times the only dialogue options with her are like "stop talking weird i dont understand you'". also the fact that YOU CAN LITERALLY KICK HER OUT AT ANY TIME??? LIKE NO MATTER WHAT THERE IS ALWAYS A DIALOGUE BUTTON TO KICK HER OUT?? here are reasons why you should like sera:

she is fun trickster! solas fucking wishes he was her.

her subclass is just super fun!! throw jars of bees and fire and shit at your enemies!

she is so genuine and cares so much about what she believes in. i wish that was explored more but as i have said the game literally hates her so.

she loves you so much!!!! she marries you!!!!!!!!!

i actualy really like her voice and the way she talks. shes just fun!

she's autistic <3

17. there should be more types of this fic/art

more people should be drawing gale and halsin and karlach fat, for one. also everyone else in the party but like especially those three. larian the fact that you have zero fat people in your game sucks supremely and you should feel bad about it.

actually draw more characters as fat anyway.

ive only seen one episode of sgt frog like 10 years ago so. whats your hwadcanons for the frog that you find to be the most Throwable.

oh this is the best way to ask a question. the thing is that they’re all incredibly throwable, i want to chuck them from the bottom of my heart, but. Keroro. It’s Keroro. The little green bastard. I want to throw him 60 feet and the wii sports announcer goes Nice Shot! or whatever.

Sexuality Headcanon: hes pan but nobody wants him. Or sometimes if I feel like it he’s aro instead

Gender Headcanon: INSERT “THIS FROG IS GENDERFLUID AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT”. keroro loves playing with different gender presentations so much and that is honest to god canon

A ship I have with said character: you know i dont. I dont really have any, i think. im slightly partial to kurukero but not that invested. I mean, it is like I said. He’s pan but nobody wants him

A BROTP I have with said character: TORN BETWEEN GIRORO & FUYUKI THEYRE BOTH VERY VERY GOOD FRIENDSHIPS. Keroros bestieship w fuyuki is so important, it’s the heart at the core of the whole series, it’s a pure straightforward and deep friendship with the power to save the world and alter history, it’s adorable, their deep care for each other is obvious in everything they do, they’re like brothers, they hang out and have heartwarming fun together. Giroro and Keroro are lifelong best friends who spend 80% of their interactions arguing and beating the shit out of each other and it’s really funny

A NOTP I have with said character: it’s always hard coming up with responses for this that aren’t “The Obvious Bad Ones on account of Bad” because i simply dont form very strong opinions in this department. what little girokero exists surprises me i guess nothing against it at all but im very attached to their hashtag platonic bestieship dynamic

A random headcanon: UHHHHHH. I KNOW i must have them, this little freak has nonnegotiable residence in my brain. It’s like when someone asks you “what’s your favorite book” “what’s your favorite food” “what’s your favorite movie” and suddenly everything you’ve ever done vanishes from your brain in an instant. Temporary headcanon amnesia. Hmmm. All I can manage to think of is serious meta that I’ve like, already said. Serious meta about the silliest of the silly frogs.

This is I think possibly basically canon or drawing from canon but like. Keroro’s favorite types of fictional characters are the Leader-Of-The-Group Protagonists, for … kind of self evident reasons. He likes it when they have strength of character, are unfailingly present for their subordinates, and are willing to go down with the ship, but like. He’d ALSO be a die-hard fan of characters like Jeff Winger.

General Opinion over said character: i have many opinions about keroro. He’s the most puntable little bitch around and he more than deserves it half the time the other characters are mean to him, but like, the other half of the time he DOESNT deserve it and he really is trying his best. He’s my bestest friend. He’s a silly little guy. He’s an awesome character. He absolutely fascinates me. He’s an obnoxious little cunt. He’s just very funny. Keroro has the Power of Friendship on his side unfailingly, but he only uses it as a last resort when the powers of Lying and Scamming People have failed him.

Opinions on ctntduo slash r or slash half r . Just the sillies in general actually LOL i care ab them a lot …

oh this is a very good ask!!! the answer is a little convoluted but :D

so long story short i do not mind it at all!!! i consume tntduo in like. i guess /p to /half r kinda way but that's just because of a personal aversion to romance and nothing more !!!

i won't draw anything with pda in it because i am just overall uncomfortable with pda, but you're free to read into whatever undertones u want from art i do HAHA so it's not so much a 'i don't like tntduo /r' as it is 'if i drew /r id draw tntduo /r'

very long answer! i always like to enforce the no /r boundaries here but i *also* respect the community so i wanna make sure it doesn't sound like i'm specifically targeting tntduo in my rules :D theyre my blorbos too my absolute fav character dynamic Ever, and there r Absolutely things to read into in canon

(one completely unrelated thing i would like to say in the spirit of not making a ton of massive boundary posts is that, while sometimes absurdly funny, nsfw comments about my drawings of any mcyt are pretty weirdchamp. i can't stop you but i do urge yall to respect cc boundaries and not involve me or my art if u dont)

i— maybe.. beta!yandere!shōta aizawa w/ an omega!darling would be a nice concept(ृ°͈꒳​°͈ ृ =͟͟͞͞)ु≡:*・.*

Ooo! I agree!

-Being a beta wouldn’t bother Aizawa at all, if anything he’s pleased about not being dragged into the mess of dynamics or having that itch to mate or be mated. He’s content by himself so why would he ever want to be an alpha or omega which would make him want someone else?

-That is...until he meets you. Then everything is flipped upsidedown. His entire outlook on life is just one big confused question mark

- As a pro hero he doesn’t interact with many omegas, its a very alpha driven profession, its near impossible for even betas to get into it (something he has first hand experience with), let alone omegas. 

-You’re so...soft and small compared to what he is use to. You dont smell harsh and abrasive like alphas do to his beta nose. You smell...sweet. Soft, warm...like home. Your scent soothes his pain and takes him back to a simpler, happier time. 

-He can’t help but feel attracted to you. Intrigue pulling him out of his bubble to get closer to you.  And the more he learns, the more he sees, the more enraptured he becomes. It won’t take long before he is head over heels, blushing over your smiles and thinking about you all the day long. 

-A lot of his yandere tendencies would stem from him being a beta and being unable to tie you to him forever like an alpha can. That and you being unsatisfied with him and leaving him for an alpha that can knot and breed you, claim you fully, fulfil all those base instincts that he can’t.

-He’d try and court you normally at first, taking the role of a dominant alpha even if he isn’t one. Gifts, bringing you food, later on gruffly offering you things for your nest with a dark blush on his face. It’s a 50/50 on if he’ll go full traditional and go ask your family to give you to him. I think he’d be hesitant, there isn’t many traditional families who would give an omega over to a useless beta, but if it was important to you or your family he would still do his best.

-If he managed to win you over and you accepted his proposal he would be over the moon. A dedicated partner that’s for sure. You would be spoiled silly, especially at first. 

-Initially it will seem cute, to see a usually apathetic and cold hearted guy spoiled you so much and spend so much time fretting and fawning over you.

-That puppy love stage will quickly become soiled. It will become more and more clear to you that his attention comes not from a place of love, but a place of anxiety. He overcompensates, pushing too far since he feels like he has to make up for not being an alpha for you. 

-Even if you try and reassure him, he’ll just brush you off and keep doing what he is doing, continue getting worse and worse. 

-He’ll get aggressive and angry when you are around alphas, always automatically they are trying to take you away from him. He’ll start buying alpha hormone colognes and sprays, gets offended and upset when you don’t like them. You couldn’t stand the smell of an unfamiliar, fake smelling alpha being near you, so those end real quick, but you still will find him rubbing at his own scent glands (or lackthereof), clearly insecure about it. 

-It comes to a head one night as the two of you are making love. In the midst of it he’ll bite down hard on the back of your neck, where your mating spot would be if he was an alpha. He’ll bite down hard enough to draw blood, ignoring your yelps and squirms as he keeps biting and biting and biting until your neck is bruised, raw and bloody.

-That will be the first time you’ll ever see Shouta cry. He’ll collapse ontop of you, harsh sobs wracking through his entire body. You’ll hold him, stroking his hair and kissing his forehead for hours as you let him cry it out, the stress, the fear, the anxiety of it all. He just wants to love you so badly, why does everything have to be wrong with him? 

-You’ll spend the whole night whispering into his hair how much you love him, how much you love dating him, how you would never leave him for another. A night filled with constant reassurances, feelings finally coming out into plain view instead of suppressed and hidden from each other. For the first time you saw a glimmer of understanding in his eyes when you tell him you didn’t date him hoping he would be an alpha. He was perfect the way he was, beta and all. His second gender changed nothing for you. 

-You walked away from that night with a weight lifted off your shoulders, hope filling you that you could move past this, that Shouta could move past this and the two of you could just...love each other. For the first time you felt like that could actually happen. 

-Oh, how wrong you were. 

-It gets worse from there.

-It will devolve into an obsession, regardless of how much you try and comfort or soothe him. You’ll find him staring at other omegas mating marks with a far off distant look. His computer and phone will be filled with searches and research of a beta turning into an alpha, naturally or through unnatural means.

 -You’ll try to get him to reach out and get help, finding him therapists that specialize in beta/omega relationships. He’ll refuse, brushing you off and ignoring you until you can’t take it anymore. The aggression, the violence, both towards other people and you. You didn’t recognize the man you once loved anymore. 

-You go to him with an ultimatum: He either goes with you to therapy and gets help, or you’re gone. You will pack up your bags and leave and it will all be over. You won’t tolerate dating a man who treats you like this. 

-Wrong move

-You’ll go to bed on that, telling him you expected a decision in the morning. You crawl into bed with a heavy heart yet fall asleep almost instantly. Dealing with him, during sex, during family visits, just dealing with him was draining you, physically and emotionally. You sleep deep that night

-When you wake up in the morning the first thing you see will be Shouta, standing at the food of your bed, staring at you intensely. The look on his face sends an almost primal reaction through you, terror gripping you tight. 

- “You can’t leave me...I won’t let you”

-You tried to ask him what he meant, moving to sit up only to find that you couldn’t. Your arms were restrained to the headboard of the bed, and when you shifted in place you could hear the jingle of a chain around your ankles as well. 

-He explained everything then. You wouldn’t be able to leave him, he wouldn’t let you. He knew that your “omega instincts” didn’t like not having an alpha around, not having a protector. ( you tried to protest but he just spoke over you, ignoring you completely) but he would figure something out, he would show you he could be a good provider, a good protector. He couldn’t let you go out where other alphas could trick you and snatch you away from him. So you would stay here, with him. And be a good little omega and let your alpha take care of you.

-While you slept he had worked, every window, every door, covered in locks, secured and bolted down, unable to be opened at all. You were trapped. Even if you got out of your restrains, even if you somehow managed to open a door or a window, how were you meant to escape the trained pro hero who was staring down at you, tensed and ready to snap at the slightest of movements. 

-You should have gotten away while you had the chance.  

for the ask game: kyle? :0

Why I like them

he's hilariously believable as an 8-10 year old kid... he has strong developing morals, but is still learning and often gets things wildly wrong in absolute earnest (eg. wanting to kill the poor after gerald told him about his own views on wealth inequality). i like that he's a very flawed character trying his best. it makes him extremely interesting! also, his design is my fave in the show!

Why I don’t

i actually don't dislike anything about him really. hmm.. a lot of fan interpretations really annoy me and some episodes about him can be very uncomfortable to watch. he also has a bit of a martyr complex and thinks he's a lot more morally righteous than he is but it's hard to begrudge him for it, since he's, well, ten.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

the list, chinpokomon, toilet paper, sexual healing

Favorite season/movie

apart from the first episode, he was really really funny in season 15, particularly in crack baby athletic association.

Favorite line

"i'm KING lesbian"... LEGENDARY

Favorite outfit

his regular outfit (: green and orange is such a fun color combination and his hat is soooooo cute

OTP

omg i think my opinions are probably very unusual but i like kychole, kydi, kyvid and kytters a lot! out of more popular kyle ships i like style and k2 the most (:

Brotp

main 5 dynamics always... also with his actual brother ike of course

Head Canon

he likes to draw cartoons... he doesn't think he's very good but he writes silly little comics, usually with gruesome/gross punchlines. after his relationship with stan starts to change and they stop doing absolutely everything together, kenny and butters are often his litmus tests on whether they're funny.

Unpopular opinion

i don't really care about shipping with him. sometimes it feels like i watch a totally different show to the rest of the fandom hahaha everyone's arguing about who to ship him with and how and i'm wondering if he needs help with his homework

A wish

it'd be really fun to see him hang out with craig's group more! especially token and tweek, both of whom i feel he could really get along with

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

can't think of anything! i just hope nothing too horrible happens to him in the future

5 words to best describe them

normal ten year old child

My nickname for them

just kyle!

☕️ + kay. or gumshoe :)

KAY. kaykaykaykaykay. shes one of those characters thats like "I know exactly who she is and what she would or wouldnt do in any given situation but if you asked me to explain her I would not know what to say". I will try thgough.

I loooooove her so much I love that shes a thief I love that she is funny I love that she does gymnastics and stuff. did you know that she carries a camera around with her wherever she goes. nobody remembers that but I noticed. I remember. I love her I love that she has like 12 metric tons of adhd I love her enthusiasm and determination and how she just effortlessly connects with everyone she meets I love the way she just says things. shes so fun and cool. I love her joy and passion and energy and I love that she is silly. I love that she has a very distinct sense of right and wrong that is almost completely disconnected from the [joker voice] societal standards of right and wrong. I think its really funny when shes mean also simply because shes usually so kind and everyone is kind to her because that is just how she rolls she connects effortlessly with everyone she meets but it just makes it so much funnier when she meets someone and goes Nope. not this one.

as much as I like kay just on her own so much of her character is defined by her relationships with other people. which really ties in well with the overall theme of bonds and families and relationships and such in the aai games.

which is why im so glad you also put gumshoe in this ask because they have one of the best relationships in the entire games. in the words of tails "from sonic", "you're my mom, you're my dad, and you're my picket fence!" thats the kind of relationship they have he is just her entire family all in one. not to say that hes the only (or only important) part of the Kay Faraday Extended Found Family Complex but hes just like every part of a family at once to her it is nice. they just understand each other perfectly (so much that it perplexes edgeworth like he cannot understand why theyr so close) and they are funny silly together its so so awesome. he decided moments after meeting her that he'd rather get framed for murder than break a promise or get her in even a little bit of trouble and she was willing to kick edgeworth to the ground as many times as it took to protect him back. she has her own cutesy nickname for him it is so special. he is her father and her uncle and her best friend and her stepladder.

as for gumshoe just on his own ummmmm I think he should quit his job he hates literally everything about being a cop except actusally like. being a detective and even says that cops arent trustworthy like WHY ARE YOU ONE THEN???????????? you can be a private investigator like vector the crocodile I promise. also something interesting I noticed about him is that he likes plants in turnabout sisters hes instantly able to identify what species charlie is and in farewell my turnabout he says he got some morning glories to take care of and in turnabout target he says his favorite flowers are roses and carnations. this does not mean anything I just noticed it. also it annoys me that even though hes only drawn as fat like half the time in canon (though that annoys me too just pick one and stick with it) people seem to universally agree that hes fat but for other characters with a similar body type theyr always drawn stick thin. like im not saying people shouldnt draw him fat (in fact if I ever saw thin gumshoe I might attack someone) but why is it youre ok with the character whos portrayed as incompetent that you dont care about outside of making jokes at his expense being fat but wont accept your poor little meow meow or whatever the hell being anything but a twig answer quickly. go on.

anyway ummmmm kay and gummy dynamic so important remember this forever and always. swiss roll.

hello!! just thought I'd stop by and say thank u for making content for us!! your little creations help make my day go by a little better :) also I thought I should ask whats your favorite thing about each tbz members if you dont mind? I'm in the mood to adore these boys more! 💞🥰

ahhhh i’m glad i’m able to brighten someone’s day with my content ! that’s all i could ask for ^~^ hmm i might end up writing an essay so here goes:

(also i might mention two things for some just bc 1 is more about them as a person in general and the second thing is about them as performers!)

sangyeon - for sangyeon, it might be a bit on the nose but i really think my favorite thing about him is his leadership, esp when oneus were collabing with tbz on rtk, he has really good people skills and knows how to talk through and guide conversations and group dynamics !

jacob - this is a bit,,, tough ,,, as a performer jacob is a good all-rounder, i absolutely adore his vocals and his dancing and i think he’s one of the strongest members in both categories... in general terms though, my favorite thing really is what everyone probably said too which is how kind, considerate, and angelic he is... i know he said he likes keeping his own problems to himself because he doesn’t want to burden anyone else with it, but then he goes around trying to take a little of everyone else’s problems to try and make them feel better,,, he really loves and cares about everyone around him;;; and he never really complains or take it out on anyone else and i just- ... yea i’m love he :((

younghoon - i think my favorite thing about younghoon is how unique (?) / eccentric he is,,, he tends to think very divergently / outside-of-the-box and considers stuff i never would have even dreamed of coming up with,,, and he’s just proud and unapologetic about it too ! he’s silly but bright and i think that’s the really cool thing about him :))

hyunjae - my fav thing about hyunjae is his tendency for acts of service ...? if that makes sense,,, he uses actions to express things just as much as his words ;;; like he did this vlive with haknyeon once where he adjusted the camera to include hak even tho it wasn’t intended to be a two person vlive anyway, or on chanhee’s bday vlive where he told off bbangkyu for blocking chanhee,,, it’s really just how much he tires his best to take care of others even when he’s jokingly teasing them despite it !

juyeon - my fav thing about juyeon is his ... what i’d call a perfect combination of self confidence and humbleness haha,,, he knows his strong points and he knows how to utilize them best and to his advantage but he never lets it inflate his ego bc that’s just how down-to-earth he is :,,))) you can kind of tell in the way the other members always prank him but he’s just so trusting of the people around him, he never shows off without immediately getting a bit shy after and i think that’s very admirable and wholesome of him :,)

kevin - HHHH okay let’s see... my favorite superficial thing about kevin is this one smile he has where,,, when someone says something he finds funny or he’s talking to fans and he smiles so wide it looks like his cheekies are about to burst from how happy he is and ..... yea ok i’m- going to say something serious now,,, this is also from his gen z interview video but i think the thing that i love the most about kevin is just how aware he is... of those around him,,, during mafia games for example, he’s always peace keeping and giving members the chance to defend themselves and he’s always trying his best to adjust his own behavior to fit in with what he thinks other people want ;;;; and i just,,, really adore him for that,,, i hope he can feel comfy and unapologetically himself too of course, and i think he is when he’s drawing and being artistically active and so i’m just *heart eyes* i guess *sigh* 

chanhee - hands down my favorite thing about chanhee as a performer is his voice... i talk about this a lot bc i was a choir kid for 4 years but, chanhee is a spectacular vocalist, and his voice is so distinctive too,,, falsetto king, he’s got this light airy / breathy timbre and it’s so beautiful to me ;;;; and his. adlibs!!!!! as a person... this is actually really difficult for me to put into words bc i just want to say my fav thing about chanhee is he’s tinie LOL but what i mean by that is,,, he’s got this,,, delicate sensitivity ? idk i feel like we’re similar in many ways which is probably my fav thing about him,,, he clings to the other members despite their teasing but he always tries his best to avoid embarrassing stuff and he’s introverted ... ok yea please give me one pass i cannot pick just one fav thing about chanhee i am a mess

changmin - hmm i think my favorite thing about changmin is just how genuine he is,,, i think he likes to just... talk ! about anything he wants which is why he goes on vlive so often, and i’ve noticed he is pretty straightforward and says stuff directly ! it’s not a bad thing i admire him a lot for it, actually, he really just talks with so much open honesty about how he feels and what he thinks that it’s almost second nature to him... i really love just listening to him talk about anything honestly his vlives are like having 3am conversations over the phone with your best friend... that kind of feeling 

haknyeon - THIS IS THE HARDEST T^T i love so many things about haknyeon... ok as a performer, my favorite thing about haknyeon is how adaptable he is and how he completely (?) absorbs a concept,,, like it doesn’t matter if it’s cute like keeper or darker like reveal,,, he fully embodies whatever concept it is almost to the point you would never guess how he is irl,,, i really think he’d make a great actor just bc his stage presence is so powerful and convincing and his facial expressions are killer... as a person,,, i think my favorite thing is something i’ve talked about before but he has this natural wonderment in his worldview... i think it’s his confidence like he talked about in the generation z video but he treats everything as something new he can learn from,,, he gets so so excited over the smallest things and is easily intrigued by anything and everything around him and he treats it all as a personal challenge, like if he tried hard enough he could do literally anything  (i compare him to a cat going outside of its house for the first time and getting to see a butterfly that kind of vibe ;;;;)

sunwoo - my favorite thing about sunwoo is how caring he is ? i’m not sure a lot of people catch it but despite his endless clowning and bullying of the other members, he’s also always one of the first members to praise them or shower them in compliments. he’s also so whipped for all of them T-T he (mostly) always laughs at any of their jokes, dumb as they may be, or agrees with whatever they’re saying, the teasing and shading is all a front almost :,)) it’s really cute of him

eric - my favorite thing about eric is his pure earnest enthusiasm for everything,,, i know all the tbz members work their hardest at everything they do as performers, but eric,,, he tries his hardest and then 54396 times more,,, i think it comes from him being the youngest member maybe, but he works so hard at anything and everything, may it be games or performing... he just acts as if he’s always trying to prove something, our energy eric T^T ! he never lets up even for a second and i adore him so much for that, goofball that he may be !

Meeting Roman Godfrey

Chapter 2

Warning: cursing.

Author notes: establishing these two dynamic. The calm before the storm if you will. Lol.

“I can honestly say that I’m jealous.” Roman mumbled as he stared in wonder at myr Uncles’ home. Walking around touching the original furnishings, and admiring the extensive art collection that was everywhere you looked, in some form or another.

My uncles home had been designed by famous architect frank lloyd wright and was dramatically built on top of a waterfall, giving it the suitable name of “Falling Water”. It was as famous for its genius design, as it was for being owned by a reclusive antisocial billionaire that didn’t allow journalists, photographers, architects or anyone for that matter near the home, let alone photograph it.

I think, the waterfall is annoying,the kitchen impractical,pretty much had no storage space, was constantly in need of some major renovation or repair, and was as close to living in a fish bowl you could get. I’d never admit any of those things out loud, because it truly was beautiful, but deep down I hated living in the famous home.

“I’m just shocked you drove all the way out here. I figured for sure you’d see how far it was and be like pass.” I said trying to draw some attention from the home.

“He recognized the address.” I spun around to find my Uncle standing by one of the homes many staircases.”hello Godfrey. I bet you’re beside yourself to finally have a look inside.”

“Absolutely, sir. It’s an absolute honor to be in your home.” Roman said politely.

I looked at him incredulously. He was known for being a pain in the ass and a brat, but maybe he was just smart and chose his battles. My uncle was as famous for being an asshole as he was for being a genius, but it seemed as though they knew eachother. “So I guess you two know eachother?” i asked. 

“Since i can remember. your Uncle loves to tell me to go fuck myself on the regular. Well not since I tried to buy this house right before....” Romn trailed off as he seemed to get lost in some distant memory...

“What happened to your cousin Letha?” My uncle asked. Strange for him to even ask personal questions, let alone remember names (even if it was my name too)

“Uncle! It might be polite to ask him how he is first...” I huffed.

“I dont care about his emotional state. I care about how a perfectly strong healthy girl died so suddenly and then it just went away.” he analyzed Romans reaction, but there was none. my Uncle liked to test people.

“brain or blood vessel burst in child labor. I was there. So much blood... then she was gone.

“Uncle!!! Are you seriously...”

“No need to defend me Letha.” Roman interjected with a pleasant smile, “your Uncle is one of my favorite people.”

“Did I ever tell you how not just one, but two women ended up with your terrible name?” he asked me with one of his mischevious smiles. “in Greek it translates to forgetful, and considering you’re not forgetful in the least its ironic. Marie and your mother both hated Olivia, and bonded over that mutual hate. Marie was so taken by your others charms, she named Letha after you the following day.”

I looked over to Roman and he was staring into me. i glanced away to my Uncle, who was watching Roman wth a strange smile on his face. He was acting kind of strange, even for him. I’d better get Roman out of here before he hates me. 

“. Come on out here with me and we can chat you two. Letha grab me a ginger ale and get Roman a water since he’s driving.” my Uncle ordered.

I agreed and hurried to the kitchen and watched in curiosity as the two notoriously difficult business tycoons seemed to be enjoying one another  out on the terrace.

I hadn’t planned on inviting Roman in, but he had been so obviously enamored by the famous home, that i couldn’t refuse when he’d politely asked to see it. Normally a guy asking to see inside was a question with shady intentions, but the pure wonder on his face had proven otherwise.

Now i didn’t even know what to think about my Uncle being his version of kind to Roman. Uncle hated visitors. I wasn’t totally sure how much he liked me even. I felt like I was in some alternate reality 

I grabbed the drinks, put them on this fancy tray and carried them out to the terrace. It was just nearly dusk and this was one of the prettiest times to see the house, when it was all lit up like a lone lantern in the thick forest with the dramatic waterfalls, and otherworldly feel. 

It was kind of silly that the house was the view, instead of the house having a view. And ironically, the house was so hidden away on 1700 acres up a long winding road, behind a massive gate, with full time security, that nobody really ever got to view it.. Uncle has grown tired of people just showing up or seeing flashes in the woods, so he hired this crazy security company to keep everyone out and monitor all the borders. Hardly anyone ever made it thru now. It was private, but extremely isolated and lonely.

“I’m surprised you’d take interest in Letha.” My uncle said, eyes narrowing obviously oblivious I was right behind them. I held my breath and didn’t move a muscle. I wanted to hear this.

“Why? She’s a beautiful girl.” Roman chuckled.

My heart warmed and stomach fluttered a bit. OH HELL NO Letha. Keep that shit in check.Hes gorgeous, and tall, and sexy, and charmng, and smelled nice, and could hold his own with your uncle, but hes also famous for bedding every woman in his path.... 

“Frankly her breasts are too big for my taste, they seem like a handicap more than an asset, but that’s trivial and shallow. She’s too smart and she doesn’t listen for shit.”

“I had noticed that actually...” Roman said thoughtfully.

“Which part?”

“All of it.”

I cleared my throat, so I didnt hear anything else wrong with me. “Drinks guys.”

Roman hopped up to help me but I signaled him to sit, as I served them their beverages. I could feel his eyes on me, but was careful not to look at him and notice.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” My uncle said. I was gonna punch him in the face, hes such an ass! god I love him.

I burst out laughing and looked at Roman who was 3 shades redder and forcing an uncomfortable smile.He isnt that cool, he does get embarrassed, thats better.

My Uncle started to laugh but winced. “Ouch. Shit. Fucking neck.” He cursed as he was reminded laughing wasn’t allowed yet. He hardly ever did laugh so it wasn’t really an issue normally.

“You’re my favorite person in the world Uncle.” I meant it too. He’s always been there for me, and when I heard he’d hurt himself and may need my help, I dropped everything, hopped in my car and drove the nearly 3000 miles to his house.

It’d taken nearly a whole day to get permission to pass the guards. They were new and usually my uncle came to see me. I’d only been to this house one time when I had graduated high school more than a few years ago. With me going to University, my uncle no longer had to live in the city, so he came here.. Something about the house and town was unsettling to me.

“Well considering the competition, it’s not much of a compliment.” My uncle said dryly. “One day you two should compare notes and see which one of your mothers is the more despicable creature.”

“Is it ok if I take Roman on a little nature walk so he can see the house in all its glory?”

“Go ahead. I’m gonna go to sleep shortly but no hanky panky you two.” He said with a mischievous grin.

Now it was my turn to be red. I turned to Roman and he was already up by my side. I took his hand and walked to the floating stairs that led to the ground floor. I was sure to walk slowly so he could take in all the house had to offer.

“Beautiful.” Roman said under his breath.

“Oh my gosh I know! Can you believe they built this out in the middle of nowhere in 1935? Can you imagine? And it hasn’t been cheap or easy keeping it perfect like this. A few years ago they had to rip half the house apart and reinforce it because the terraces were sagging. Uncle spent like 11 million dollars that time on engineers and architects and materials. He was not letting it go, and I don’t even think the whole house is worth that, but when he likes something, not hell nor high water can change his mind.”

“I wasn’t talking about the house, although good to know.” He smiled at me almost shyly.

“Are you trying to be adorable? You aren’t shy, and yet you’re acting almost sweet.”

“You’re so weird. You just spit out whatever you’re thinking don’t you?” Roman challenged me. Super cocky confident Roman returning.

“Omg you’re a peacock. Look at you preening about, puffing up your chest.”

“A peacock? Really? What does that make you?”

I had to think about that for a moment.”I’d have to go with a honey badger I think.” I said.

Roman choked on his water. I pat him on the back, giving him a moment to catch his breath. “Why is that such a shock?”

“No reason.” He tried to look innocent but I could see thru his shit. “Why did you choose it?”

“Well I’m resourceful, fearless, I don’t listen, I prefer my own company, no one can keep me contained, and snakes don’t intimidate me.”

“Ya?” Roman got very close to me and wrapped his arms around me looking down through long lashes. He oozed sex appeal and I could see how all the girls fell all over him.

I reached up and booped his nose. “Boop.” I giggled hysterically at his facial expression.

“What was that?” He asked confusedly.

“Shut. The. Fuck. Up. No one has ever booped you in the nose? That’s crazy! You have the best looking nose I’ve ever seen.”

“I’ve never gotten that one.”

“Well that’s cuz most women are probably trying to be sexy and mysterious with you. theyre not being themselves. Boop. Ok last one. Sorry. I barely know you, I can’t go booping you all over the place on our first date, you’re a nice Christian boy...” I said sarcastically. I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him along the way. “We are almost there and it’s getting dark. We don’t wanna get eaten out here or have to kill something.”

i looked back and Roman was genuinely smiling. I felt warm all over, I looked t our hands intertwined and was puzzled with the feeeling i felt. i looked back at Roman and he was looking at our hands too...

We walked along in happy silence until we reached the rocks across the lake and waterfalls from the house. I was wearing Converse, but his dress shoes were proving to be less than nature friendly. We finally got up the slick stairs cut into the stone to reach the sitting area, after a lot of effort and laughs. They were the worst shoes for this environment ever.

Upon seeing the house, Roman audibly gasped. He took a few steps ahead and I just admired his profile and form. He really was beautiful. I knew he was going to kiss me before the night was thru. I knew better than to trust this boy, and I knew this was really stupid and I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was completely enthralled and was going to see it through. I didnt half ass anything, and i wasnt going to start with him.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” Roman said playfully.

My eyes flashed at him trying to tell me what to do. I lowered my head and looked up at him thru my lashes with a sneer.

 “Hey hold on, that’s my trick! We can’t BOTH have intense sexy stares.” he walked over and casually grabbed me around the waist.

“Good thing mine is just evil then.” I said in my best creepy witch voice.

He burst out laughing, eyes shining. It was a genuine laugh. I could tell by the way he instantly tried to control it, that it didn’t happen often.He tried to be so intimidating and serious, but there was a warmth to him, just under the surface.

“You’re a nerd.” He said quietly. 

Oh boy here we go. He’s gonna try this again. My mind was running 1000 miles a minute as I tried to decide whether I was going to let this happen, when all of a sudden it was too late. His lips were on me as he pulled me into a deep embrace. If I was the type to get caught up in a moment, this would be that moment. He smelled amazing, and tasted so sweet. I felt gum in his mouth with my tongue and I snatched it. I pulled away victorious and mock screamed like a roaring crowd, jogging in a circle arms raised.

“You did not just steal my gum.” He beamed at me, chasing me and catching me in his arms before slipping and pulling me down on top of him, wincing at the impact. 

i hovered over him laughing hysterically. “grace and beauty,” i teased. “ No gum is safe when I’m around.” I grabbed his hand and dragged him to his feet and then back to the stairs. “Time to go on the date I have planned for us.”

His eyebrows shot up and he looked genuinely shocked. “You planned out a date?”

“I did. And I have a feeling, you’re going to love it giiiirrrlll!” We both were giggling like school kids as we made our way back to the house.

I looked up to see my Uncle watching us from his terrace, a worried look on his face. That was kind of odd, but this was Roman Godfrey for chrissake.

I obnoxiously kissed my hand with a big “muah!” And threw it at my uncle who ducked like he was really avoiding getting hit.

“You nearly got me that time.” He yelled down to me.

I laughed and waved goodbye as we walked around the house to Romans Mercedes G wagon.

“Do you know why this suv is so expensive?” I asked him.

“It’s a Mercedes.” He said rolling his eyes.

“Although that’s part of it, these are built by hand and take over 40 hours buy two master craftsman to build. They have all the top-of-the-line materials used as well as three locking differentials. It’s the only one in its class with that so it’s superior for off-road Ing especially with the all wheel drive. Add that with superior safety and brand reliability and you have a very expensive, amazing machine. And since you of course have the AMG, you have to add two more craftsman to its build to hand build its engine that’s a mechanical marvel in itself.”

“You know more about my car than me. “ he laughed.

“It’s no big deal, I just never forget something once I’ve read it.”

“Never? I understand your ironic name now”

“Nope. It’s a blessing and a curse. I get it from my Uncle I guess.”

“That’s impressive.” He said sincerely. “I better never lie to you.”

I looked at him and our eyes locked. We stood there eyes locked on one another, neither of us wanting to be the first to look away. A smile crept across his face and i did an exaggerated silly wink.

“You are full of surprises Ms. Letha... what is your last name? Same as your Uncle?

“Nope. My last name is Dahl although I’d love to change it. Not a fan of my father. 

“Oh? Family drama Letha Dahl?’

“You have no idea.” I winked and got in the passenger side before he could reach the door and open it for me. I watched him walk around to the drivers seat and stop to read a message and reply. He scanned thru his phone and slipped it in his pocket. He climbed in and pushed the button to start the car. I went to the navigation and entered the address of our destination and pressed start.

I looked out the window analyzing my thoughts and emotions with scientific precision, first identifying the particular emotions and then assessing where there root was, before filing them away as solved. This was how I regulated thoughts and feelings, so they never got the best of me but this time there were emotions, I had no name for and there was nothing logical about them. I’d dated and even had boyfriends, but I’d never been this absolutely enamored by a man. i felt .... God, what was it?

Roman Godfrey was way cooler than me, but I was smarter, but for the first time in my life, I wasn’t sure if that was an advantage. I had never let emotion take the wheel, but i almost wanted to. I wanted to be lost in this tragic gorgeous boy.

COMIC TEA PARTY- WEEK LONG BOOK CLUB START!

Hello and welcome everyone to Comic Tea Party’s Week Long Book Club~! This week we’ll be focusing on Damsels Don’t Wear Glasses by J Alice Bown~! (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/)

You are free to read and comment about the comic all week at your own pace, so stop on by whenever it suits your schedule! Remember, though, that while we allow constructive criticism, our focus is to have fun and appreciate the comic. Below you will find four questions to get you started on the discussion. However, a new question will be posted and pinned everyday (between 12:01AM and 6AM PDT), so keep checking back for more! You have until May 19th to tell us all your wonderful thoughts! With that established, let’s get going on the reading and the chatting!

QUESTION 1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it?

QUESTION 2. In so far, what aspect of the world-building catches your interest the most? Why is that so? Also, what theories do you have in regards to differences between places like Persephone and Hestia?

Delphina

For serious scenes, I think I gotta go with the big swordy magic scene where she saves Jake from being crushed by the statue (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=202) because the lighting effects are gorgeous and seeing Lave doing big magic stuff with her sword was really really cool. For silly scenes, the one that always sticks with me is Lave trying to be a host and failing miserably. (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=123)

keii4ii

2) I really liked this page. http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/index.php?comic=20180423 How she just asks a random person on the street for a magic shortcut and gets an answer right away. While it's always been clear that magic is an ordinary thing, this kind of little details really shows exactly how ordinary.

Capitania do Azar

I really like the prologue, particularly the part where they climb the lamppost. There's just so much character into the entire scene, and the exchanges are really cool. It's a very strong beginning for a story too, imo!!

2) http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/index.php?comic=20130423 I really think this part has a lot to show about world building like, here's this weird magical event going on, but everyone is just "I was just trying to show you something cool urg" and "well this ain't it"

duskglass

for the worldbuilding, i especially love the variety of creatures/nonhumans we've seen so far, and how well integrated they are with the setting! it's got a classic urban fantasy vibe while also being very fresh and unique

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor?

QUESTION 4. What do you think Lave’s backstory is? Do you think she got all her scars from her job, or might some of them predate her job somehow? How do you think Jake will change the way Lave handles and deals with her life?

ClauseArt

heeey I just saw this! This is my comic! Thanks for taking the time to read it! c8

RebelVampire

1) i definitely gotta go with the scene where jake is in dream world like place with aishe. I really love how this scene just suddenly adds 1000 layers of mystery. Plus, i really just love the change in color scheme. It really gives it this other worldly feel that gives me goosebumps. Plus, I also just like Aishe's design. 2) I've really been enjoying the differences in magic. Like, for example, how most zombies actually suck cause ya know...theyre dead. I feel this adds such a great twist what we expect, cause every change I feel fits a more logical setup for what the magic does. Again, like how the zombie thing makes 1000% sense cause dead bodies are not the sturdiest. I am curious about why Lave had such a reaction to Hestia magic schools, but I don't have any theories outside of magic must be viewed very differently in places.

3) Kestrel because he's such a precious failure at life. Like...he just cannot catch a break and for some reason that makes him super endearing to me. Plus now hes got the whole aishe connection thing going on so that makes him double interesting. But mostly I want to boop him for all his failures. 4) I would think some of her scares would have to predate her job. Cause she's...she's got a lot of them. And considering she mentioned having been in jail, I'm kind of struck with the idea that maybe she ran with a gang or something. She super gives me the impression of someone who mostly raised herself and didnt have a huge loving family involved in teaching her how to deal with life. I think Jake will be a good influence on her though and teach her to be more careful. Cause she seems very fun loving and reckless, and while that can work when youre solo, its not great when you have other ppl. Like i think the Kestrel thing was a good example cause I felt Lave perhaps was too loose cannon with it, which semi resulted in Kestrel almost kicking the bucket. And Jake is like 1000 times more fragile, and I think it'll force Lave to see that she cant protect anybody if she goes around without a plan.

ClauseArt

@Capitania do Azar that scene with Kest and lave interacting around the lamp-post was actually the moment I decided Kest worked well as a main character. He was honestly going to die in the original draft. @keii4ii thanks! I super love just....the mundane feeling of everyday magic. @Delphina Honestly Lave just being a f--k up is probably my fav part of writing her character, especially for comedic effect XD Next to drawing glowy magic scenes of course.(edited)

@RebelVampire Oh wow this is a lot. Thank you! ;-; dammit I really can't respond to these kind of questions cus spoilers. But I'm glad you noticed a lot of my characters having...well a habit of messing up (and Lave did not handle that first chap well cough) XD Also Aishe is my fav character to draw, because Kest is my fav character to draw only its + because glowy effects. I do really like when more real world logic is put in fantasy, like corpses making for bad heavy hitters unless they're in a swarm. So I'm super glad you liked that!

Capitania do Azar

4. If Lave's style has always been what we've seen so far, then all those scars don't surprise me at all! They'd be the natural consequence of past encounters, work related or otherwise. It just kinda feels that everything ends with someone getting punched around her

3. I've really liked pretty much everyone, but I think Lave's my favorite cuz she's sturdy but messy and I feel there's a lot to be learned about her aha

And also she prolly also has a lot to learn

RebelVampire

QUESTION 5. What has been your favorite illustration in the comic so far? What specifically about it do you like?

QUESTION 6. Why do you think Jake is in Persephone with no guardian? What theories do you have on Jake’s hatred of non-humans? Will Jake be able to overcome his prejudice?

Capitania do Azar

6. Jake feels a lot like is somebody important's family but important could mean a lot of things. And has for his discomfort, I think it mostly stems from not knowing/being used to all this magic, which gives me the idea that some of these cities are less magical than others

5. Not an illustration, but I really love how in the last pages, as the sun rises, the colors become brighter and the sky becomes pink!!

It really helps bringing home the feeling that the night is over and the quietness of early morning, which is kinda fitting since they also stopped fighting

Delphina

I think I gotta go with Lave as my favorite character too because competent + ridiculous + magical +swordy is my entire jam so she's sorta the best of all worlds. Gena holds a special place in my heart too because she's clearly trying to keep a lot of things together.

Illustration-wise, I love how things like Jake's anxiety (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=198) or Chirovision (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=237) or Aisheland (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=225) traveling through magic spaces (http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/index.php?comic=20170501) make the palette and rendering different depending on the mood. Really good use of a more abstract style to convey tone and worldbuilding.

(Now I want there to be a DDWG theme park where there's weird places like Aisheland)

varethane

Lave is my fave!!!! I love her goofy attitude paired with how much butt she kicks when it's necessary. I love seeing people underestimate her and then get surprised, haha.(edited)

My favourite illustration is.... hard to pick, but probably this page: http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/?comic_id=206

Capitania do Azar

oh yeah, I really love the color work for those scenes, it carries out the emotions very well

RebelVampire

QUESTION 7. Which characters do you enjoy seeing interact the most? What about their dynamic interests you?

QUESTION 8. For what purpose do you think someone sold Kestrel the cursed orb? How does this tie into the axe theft mystery Lave is asked to solve? What overall is going on regarding these illegal items, and how will it tie into the story?

Capitania do Azar

7. Anything that comes out of Kestrel's mouth is gold, but when he and Lave bicker it's even better!!!

Please just let them bicker more for my amusement

8. It really feels like someone's around trying to spread SOME mayhem and if one object was possessed then maybe it's not the only one... could be a tricky situation

Delphina

Will second that Lave and Kest definitely need to bicker more

RebelVampire

5) im kind of cheating by saying i really like the extra page about the leylines http://damsels-dont-wear-glasses.com/index.php?comic=20160620 its really simplistic yet i think the illustrations work super well to help convey all the world-building information. its just a nice combo of huge info drop with some pleasant visual accompaniment 6) I assume Jake is probably an orphan from some important family? Or that Jake's family is super high up in rank somehow and just went "nah man we dont want this kid no more." while i def think some of jake's hate comes from ignorance, i also get the impression that jake had a bad experience with non-humans. something about jake's reactions just really strike me as ptsd. overall yeah, i think jake is gonna have to overcome it. plus, exposure breeds familiarity. its hard to be in the lion's den and continue to hate the lions.

7) jake and basically any non-human. I really just enjoy seeing jake's various reactions of "eww no" and then having to be confronted with the fact that not all non-humans are bad. It just makes me more and more curious about jake's past. plus, all these interactions really serve as a great tracking devices for how jake evolves in opinion. 8) With Kestrel, I kind of think someone is trying to draw Aishe out. I mean Aishe does have pretty neat butterflies and powers, so I can't blame them. Though I assume its a revenge thing cause I get the impression ppl arent all that happy with Aishe. But thus why other illegal items are being involved because you need powerful stuff to get to the powerful people.

Desnik

That leyline page is gorgeous and informative, I love the combo of worldbuilding and infographics

RebelVampire

QUESTION 9. What sorts of art or story details have you noticed in the way the comic is crafted that you think deserves attention?

QUESTION 10. Who exactly is Aishe and what are their goals? What does this have to do with the undead from the first chapter? Why did Aishe help Jake? What will Lave do when she learns about Aishe?

RebelVampire

QUESTION 11. What do you think are this particular comic’s strengths? What do you think makes this comic unique? Please elaborate.

QUESTION 12. What do you think the story with Chiro is? How did he wind up as Lave’s roommate? Will Chiro and Jake learn to get along? Also, do you think there might be anything special about Chiro that might affect the story?

AshAngelV

6. I think he's come from an entirely different world that doesn't have non humans and magic.

AshAngelV

11. The world building and color scheme are definitely strong points. It feels fully fleshed out and magical, but also very grounded like it's this amazing magical place that's also totally normal. Also, the characters. Having a bunch of flawed characters with baggage is always more interesting than having perfect characters with no problems and even the bit characters feel dynamic. Like they have their own story and interests rather than being part of the scenery exsisting only for the MCs to interact with.

RebelVampire

9) The thing I appreciate the most details wise is just the physical flaws. Especially Lave's scars. Adding details like that can be really tedious, yet it really helps deliver so much character that I always enjoy when the time is taken to include things like that. 10) I feel like Aishe is probably some necromancer from the past who is trying to rectify a mistake that was made. I think Aishe helped for the reason they said: Jake did a kindness and gotta pay that shit forward. I feel like Lave is 100% not going to trust aishe and basically just encourage everyone to do the same. Maybe suggest Kestral seek professional help. But yeah, I don't see a green butterfly person flying with Lave XD 11) I think this comic's strengths lie in two areas. First, the implementation of magic. There are clear rules, there's enough deviations from the standard to be interesting, and the fact its presented as a normal culture thing is well-integrated. second, the color palettes are really amazing and suit the tone and atmosphere of each scene really well. 12) I feel like Chiro might be a bit special since that one person did wonder what species Chiro was or something like that. And that because of this specialness Chiro was outcasted. Hence why he wound up with Lave cause ya know, outcasts gotta stick together. I think Chiro and Jake will bond for sure down the road. Cause i mean Chiro did just help save Jake's butt, and thats gotta earn him some Jake points right?

AshAngelV

12. I think Chiro might be a vamp that just stays in bat form or maybe only has bat form.

RebelVampire

QUESTION 13. What are you most looking forward to in the comic? Also, do you have any final thoughts to share overall?

QUESTION 14. What do you think Kestrel’s role will be in regards to the larger story? Can Kestral and Aishe be detached from one another, or is the attachment permanent?

AshAngelV

14. I think he'll be the guy that's in a constant state of terror and peril. And I think the detaching will be up to Aishe.

ClauseArt

man its super hard not to chime in on these ahhh D8

Delphina

Rebel makes such good questions XDD

varethane

I am looking forward to several things! - what is Jake's deal and how is he linked to aishe -Lave's bite mark scar!!!! what is it!!!!!! -what will Kest do next -more Lave plz(edited)

RebelVampire

@Delphina thank you for saying so~!

13) im looking forward to more aishe doing aishe stuff just cause i dig that aesthetic a whole lot. im also looking forward to learning more about jake so more concrete theories can be made about wtf jake's deal is. and also why nobody else could take jake besides lave cause i mean seriously...theres gotta be more sane choices XD 14) Kest is gonna become a real mage and do magic stuff. also ya know, hide out with lave cause now the ppl he owes money too are probably gonna be out for blood. as for detaching...maybe not so much. i more feel like once Aishe is done with their tasks, their essence will just kind of disappear and merge with kest.

AshAngelV

Hang in there Clause.

ClauseArt

@AshAngelV I will try D8

I can at least promise a lot of these theories are gonna be answered sooner or later

My 12X22  Opinion

Who We Are Im going to give this episode a standing ovation! I absolutely LOVED it! This is the kind of episode that made me want to watch it again, immediately after it ended, and I stopped sobbing. This could have stood on its own as a season finale, even without a cliff hanger. We start off in the bunker with Sam, Dean and bitch face Toni trapped with no water, lights, and having the air pumped out. This itself was kind of a silly method of death for the boys, because... well.. how would they not get out? But Im not complaining, I certainly don’t want them to die!  Mary is out and about, brain washed and killy. She just killed a hunter and shes ordered to kill Jody. We all like Jody so even though we know the boys will get out eventually, will it be in time to save Jody? Very good suspense build to start with.  Now the dynamic duo and the Brittish peice of shit, try this weird spell to turn the bunker back on, that needs virgin blood, Just kinda humorous I guess, not really anything I thought would work, but then the boys try to bash their way through a concrete wall. This was awesome! Not only was it incredibly hot to watch them in single layers, all dirty and sweaty, in safety goggles swinging around pick axes, but it turned into a very moving brother moment. Sam takes responsibility for deciding to work with the Britts, and though Id wish he would stop blaming himself for everything, it is kind of one of his charms that I find endearing. He has a great monologue and my favorite part : “Once I was in, I just followed.... because it was easy.... easier” (Dean) “Easier than what?” “Than to lead”

I never blamed Sam for wanting to try. I knew in 12x1 while he was chained to a chair and Toni told them what they do, he’d want to check it out himself. I was sure it would go bad too, but this is Supernatural, and if any pattern is steady, its the boys break it, then they fix it. I was also happy to see that Dean didnt chastise him, blame him for anything or whatnot, he just listened. Then the brother sat there, with the air thinning and Sam’s chest heaving (thank you Chuck) talking about their pending demise. Maybe it wasn’t how they would have wanted it, but they were together. When and if the time comes that they actually do draw their final breaths, they will be together.  Then Dean has the best idea to finally use the grenade launcher... and Sam isn’t even going to try to stop him this time. Toni is telling them theyre lunitics and they could all die if the building collapses on them. Sam and Dean have the BEST exchange of looks, because they dont care. If theyre gonna die, it will be in a blaze of glory, but its also the best bet to get them out.  I really did feel Sam’s anxiety when he went to look for Dean after the blast. His moment of relief when he saw the clearing made around the pipe and then his horror as the concrete collapsed into it. Panic mode yelling for his brother, not giving a shit where Toni is, where the hell is Dean?? Then the air is gone, he cant breathe, and just as he collapses from lack of air, in walks Dean, a little bloody and broken, but he’s ok. “Hey lunitic!” and all the life and love goes back into Sam’s face. (siiigh) Ok so we’re out of the bunker and safe, but now for some reason, Sam has some kind of blood stain on the front of his shirt, and he hasnt been bleeding? Only one bleeding is Dean and I dont know how Sam would get it on his stomach, but you can imagine whatever you want I guess LOL! We head off to Jody and find her safe but she has psycho!Mary tied up. Lets call all the hunters we can think of and take the Britts on ourselves. Of course the dudes that killed them in S5, show up and cant look the brothers in the eyes, but in traditional Winchester fashion, the boys look ;past it to fight for the greater good.  Sam takes control (purrrr) he has a wonderful, humble speech, thats very well worded and not the typical locker-room inspirational speech. He decides to take it on himself and not put any responsibility on Dean, which was odd because Dean wasn’t claiming it was all Sam’s idea anyway, but Sam was more “this ones on me” and for the first time ever, he asks people to follow him, into what might be their final fight.  What transpires after this started me crying and never let me go. Dean encourages Sam to do this without him, even though Sam will take a jacked up Dean Winchester over 10 other hunters any day, Dean supports him, and pridefully tells him he’s got this. He’s ready. And the bro hug Ive been waiting for all season happens!! It was wonderful!! “Cmere.... you come back” Sam :”promise” “Bitch” (Sam chokes back tears) “jerk” and my water works start!  Ive read a lot of you complaining this was too little, too late, or that it was fan service or whatever. I think it was perfect and right in place, even if it was long overdue. And if the powers that be heard the fans bitching about the lack of bromance, and started putting it back, then our work here is done! Now we move on to Dean getting into Mary’s head, while Sam is off fucking shit up over at the base. These scenes between Dean and Mary was some of the best acting Ive seen Jensen do ever. The initial “I hate you” cut me in 2. This, the man Ive watched for 12 seasons pine over his dead mother and longing to have a relationship with her, has now been broken down to hate her. And he tells her whats what, pulling no punches. Yeah dad lived but this is what happened, and gave her the condensed version of how he had too much responsibility put on him to take care of Sam and it wasnt fair because he couldnt do it.... Sam’s life was fucked up and Dean couldnt stop it and he hates her for that. He hates her and he loves her, because shes his mom and he cant help it. <insert shattering heart right here> kind of puts things into perscpective of the brothers’ relationship over the seasons. Times when theyve gotten so mad they hated each other, they always still loved each other. Dean forgives her, and he understands because hes made deals more than once to save Sam’s life, (not Cas’s btw) because he loves him. Sam has hated him for it sometimes, but forgives him, because he cant help but love him. So, Dean wants to start fresh. Im alright with that. Meanwhile, back at the BMOL base, Sam is kicking ass. Sam Fucking Winchester! Where i feel its been off balance with Dean having low kills this season, I am enjoying badass Sam very much. He’s always been badass, but its just leveled up some this season. But I cant believe the old man on the computer called Sam “boy” like whaaaaat??  So Dean gets slammed out of the mind link, to see Toni with her throat slashed (YAAAAAY!!!!) And Ketch ready to kill him... good fight ensues, Mary wakes up, dead Ketch (YAAAY!!) Dean and Mary talk more about starting over and forgivenes, and I THOUGHT I was safe and wouldnt need to cry anymore, but no. Mary is scared, what if Sam cant forgive her? In walks Sam and with the softest, most painful way he could,  says “Mom? You dont have to be scared of me” (I died... omf Sam) Mom hugs Sam... am I safe yet? hell no, Dean touches Sams shoulder “Im glad your back man” and comes in to wrap Sam in his arms AGAIN and Sam’s face is like he’s needed this his entire life and just.... WOW just fucking WOW This was by far the best episode of the season, and to be honest, maybe of the whole series for me. On a scale of Bloodlines to Swan Song, I am gonna say, shockingly, it MIGHT be tied with Swan Song, They’re 2 entirely different kinds of episodes, so I really cant say I loved one better than the other. But Im giving Who We Are a perfect 10! *clap clap clap clap clap* THIS is how you write an episode! Thank you!!

you dont know me but he told me about you. were just friends so he tells me some personal stuff and you come up sometimes. One day when he wasnt looking i went thru his phone and found your tumblr at the top of his history. he still checks up on you. i wanted to tell you that he wont let me kiss him, he doesnt like to get turned on and says tht sex is only fun when hes in love. i see that you think he used you but i think you used him. he is so nice i wish he would forget about you instead of me

My involvement with him is a very difficult subject for me, especially right now when I am trying so hard to work on myself. My situation with him accelerated a lot of my mental health issues. I suppose you would have only heard his side, and I’m not even completely sure this message wasn’t sent by him for a few reasons which I’ll list at the end of this. But until then I’m going to look at this as if it were someone who was interested in him, I apologise for the doubt but you will see why.

First, I know that he looks at my Tumblr, that he always has. I would change my url but I really love it too much and it has a lot of sentimental meaning to me and I can not let it go. I’m pretty sure when he found it was one of the several times I broke up with him, because I felt like he was invading my diary. I asked him to stop looking at it, obviously he didn’t listen. I am so sorry that he still looks at it, he really shouldn’t. He never should have. I don’t care if close friends or strangers see it, I am very open about things, ask me anything I will give an honest answer. But, if you go through my “personal” tag, like really go through it, you’ll see all the posts I used to make about it. All the pain and confusion he put me through. You will see how depressed I was. I didn’t like to talk to him about things like that, how I was feeling and all, because all he ever did was fuck me. So I’m surprised you are saying he doesn’t like sex unless there is love, because I only recall one or two times, out of the I couldn’t even count how many, where I felt there was love present. If I was too upset to move, his solution was still to fuck me. And I don’t say have sex with me or make love to me because honestly, it only ever felt like he was getting off, and just simply fucking me. I also find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t even kiss you. There have been girls after me, plenty, one of which crossed the line and really opened my eyes that he was toxic to me and I needed him out of my life for now. I don’t know if I want to address that story but if you would like to hear it please contact me somewhere else, where I wouldn’t have to post it publicly. Just because this girl and I have finally become civil and while she is not in my life anymore, I don’t want it to get back to her that I was telling someone this story. People habe the whole thing twisted, it went around like telephone I feel. But anyway, long story short he always made me feel like I was never enough and I was only good for sex. He denies it, but that’s how I felt. He went to other girls while he was involved with me, I was so young I thought he was mine. Silly me. We never did anything other than sit in his room and fuck. A lot of the dynamic of our relationship did happen because we had to keep it a secret from the start. Again, if you want that story please contact me somewhere we could talk in private. But anyway it was never really a loving relationship, it was overall very painful, very draining. I don’t think I was ever worse than when I was with him. And I’m not saying it was because of him, but the whole situation with him, because there were a shit ton of outside factors. I could give more details and explanation, I apologize but I’m trying to keep this only too him, because I don’t want to bring anyone else into it. I could go on and on about this. It was almost two years of my life. The first thing I thought when I started talking to him was, “he could be bad for me, he could destroy me,” and I was nearly right. At the time I was so self destructive and that was exactly what I wanted, and exactly what I got. I am so so sorry that he is now not affectionate towards you, he was towards girls after me. And he was towards me not too long ago. I shouldn’t have agreed to hang out with him just yet but I did, I didn’t realize how much progress I didn’t actually make at the time. But, maybe he stopped being sexual and affectionate towards others because I finally blocked him on everything and he knows there is no longer a chance. He thinks I don’t care anymore but how can I not, obviously I do, and I wish he would let himself get close to someone else. To treat them the way they deserve so he could get all of that back, afterall I wasn’t enough. (And he doesn’t like the way I show affection anyway.) After everything I know he has also been working on himself so I want him to keep going. I want him to find someone that will help him do that, and not drag him back to the past.

I’m going to stop short but please just contact me so you can hear both sides, I know how he twists the story and puts more blame on me. It was both of us, and it was our surroundings. You really can’t make a judgment until you hear both sides, I never felt more used in my life than when I was with him. And for a year I went around having sex with random guys who I know werent interested in me, only my body. It’s weird sometimes I still felt more love from some of those stranges than I did from him.

Anyway now to address why I don’t completely believe this is someone else, and why I think it may be him.1. If you were just friends, why would try to kiss him?  small detail but still a question 2. He doesn’t like to get turned on, I don’t really understand that so you’re also a friend trying to turn him on, or does he tell you about girls that try to.3. A while ago, before I had him blocked, he was telling me he was losing interest in sex. I don’t remember the reason being the absence of love.4. I think he used me but you think I used him, is something he says, not some conclusion you would draw from hearing about our past. Unless, he now talks of me only from one side. Which is possible.5. What was the point of sending this to me, what would you get out of a response? Or did you just want to hurt and upset me, because that is what this did.6. He hates when girls go through his phone, he has a lot to hide (from my experience and while I was involved with him) but this leads me to the next7. If he found out he would be upset, so why would you message me here, where I would have to post publicly. And if he really does check my blog often, he would obviously see. Did you want him to? Or was this just sent by him?

Which is mainly why I believe this was sent from him, and he wanted to see how I still felt. He always used to guilt me, I believe this may just be another form of that. I think I was the most forgiving and gullible girl he ever got involved with, so when he needs someone, he thinks I will still always be there. In a way I will always be there, just not always like I used to. He was a huge part of my life I will always care and miss him, but there is no room for that right now, while I am working on myself. If there is any bit of truth in this ask, and he is not giving a good friend a chance because of me, then I am terribly sorry. Although, I am currently sceptical of this actually being the case. If this message wasn’t sent by him, please whoever sent it contact me somewhere else any social media or something,  message me again off anon if you have an account. I feel like we need to talk more about this if you have only heard his side, and now my VERY abridged version. If this was him I unblocked you on Snapchat so message me I left too many doors open I am sorry.

Casual to Long Term RP buddy

Name: Sid Age: OLD i'm 29 Timezone: PST About Me: I'm a long time RPer looking to get back into it, even tho all of my old partners have moved on since. I like world building and drama and romance and violence and P much everything? I'm kinda on a weird sleep schedule called, I don't so unless something comes up, I'm free like %75 of most days and can get quite a few solid posts in a day.

Fandoms or Originals: Both! 

maybe even a mix of the two?

What I’m Looking For:

Interested in all kinds of OC stuff. World building, Quick casual character meets, Intense stories and plots, its all a blast.  So if you have any characters you wanna play around with, I am all about that

I love monster OC’s and generally anything not human, but hey what ever is cool with me, I’m not picky.

There are also a few Fandom’s I wanna play with tho? 

Legend of Zelda, YuYuHakusho,Wolf’s Rain, FF9, Rune Factory 3 or 4

And I’d love to play some OC’s In the Pokemon canon, Steven Universe canon, or AtlA canon cause Benders are hella cool my guy 

But I'm not limited to these, Just most excited about them.

So yeah, just looking for some RP friendos

Please be over 18 cause I like serious themes, like yes smut, but also like sometimes violence? like sometimes people gotta get beat up it happens.

i play mostly M/M But rly anything goes, I like cute couples and cute couples suffering so what ever works.

Posts are usually in third person, and post length is usually between 2-3 paragraphs but if we are having some silly banter or what ever I dont care about one liners, they can be fun. I also enjoy OOC talk because I think it helps flesh out the dynamics of what the future can hold, plus I'm a dork and I like making fun of my characters.

Also I do a bit of art and am always excited to draw for RP partners if that's something anyone would be interested in.
