So, I was chatting with some friends and we were discussing how, lately, the ASKS on Tumblr have been plagued with a bunch of “people” coming into our space, trying desperately to convince us that Jikook are basically estranged. It’s crazy how all over the place these ASKS are!
For example: “They have always hated each other and now they don’t have to hang out anymore. They are brothers and work friends only. They used to be a thing, but they aren’t anymore. They are cover for a real relationship. The company forces them to mention each other on social media. And my personal favorite….They’ve only seen each other a couple of times this year, they just aren’t close”.
What?! Are they stupid or something? Do they honestly think that they ONLY time Jikook (or any of the members actually) see each other is when they talk about it or post about it on social media? The rest of the time, nothing? Oh Lordy, I need something pretty to calm my nerves.
Tumblr media
Thats better! Do these people really live in such an isolated world that they believe that the litmus test for a relationship is the number of posts on Instagram? Because that’s the standard they are holding Jikook to. Heck, I checked my own personal social media pages and saw that I’ve posted things about the people I actually LIVE WITH or that I see every single day…only a handful of times this year. So clearly, social media posts aren’t necessary for maintaining (or proving) a relationship.
We all know why that specific group of people are here. They NEED to try and disprove Jikook because if Jikook exists as a couple, then their fantasy is just that, a fantasy. And listen, they KNOW. They see it. Images of Jikook, in all of their Jikook glory, are burned on their retinas. They wouldn’t take Jikook moments and alter them (badly…oh so badly) by replacing Jimin’s face with, well, someone else’s, if they didn’t see the moments as romantic. Oh the second-hand embarrassment I get when I see those edits. Yeeeeshhh.
As for the so called “insecure Jikooker”, I can see how it happens. Listen, we used to basically LIVE with BTS. We saw them during practice, at concerts, eating together, backstage, on RUN BTS, Bon Voyage, Bangtan Bombs, In the Soop (1&2), during special content, at music shows and awards shows, photoshoots, commercials. They were much more active on social media, posting selfies on Twitter, talking in Fan Cafes, doing vLives regularly. I mean dang! It was constant. During all of that, from day ONE, we saw Jikook together. Sometimes they were quiet, sometimes they were loud. Regardless, they were always together (Satellite Jeon saw to that). Now, during solo era, we rarely see any of them together. And there is no “natural reason” for Jikook to be joined at the hip in the public eye. Before, they had reason, they had “cover” so to speak. But now? Suddenly, they share very very little about themselves. It’s quite the adjustment for fans to make and I can see how it leads to “discomfort”.
So now, I’m finally to my point! Jikook has been close for 10+ years, closer than close. They’ve risked a LOT to be together, worked through tough and scary times together. After all of the risk, hard work, and commitment, do we really, really think that different schedules would cause them to throw in the towel? Do we really think that having different work priorities would make them suddenly fall out? Really? I call BS on that. Out here in Normalville, people in relationships manage to go to different jobs daily, have sets of friends that do not crossover, even go on work or pleasure trips without each other, and still maintain a healthy, happy relationship. Couples in Normalville don’t have to post about each other regularly on social media, nor must they FaceTime all of their family, friends, and coworkers just to give them an update or their relationship status. Yet, this is the standard people are holding Jikook to. If they don’t prove themselves, they aren’t real? Wow. Harsh.
I saw this tweet and I thought it went well with my Ted Talk today. All you have to do is look at them and you know they have something special. And just because we can no longer see them as often, it doesn’t change the fact that their special relationship still exists. Just look at them. LOOK AT THEM. I feel confident, based on what we HAVE seen during this solo era, that Jikook are the same as ever. They are just having to travel down a new path together. And an actual BONUS for them, I think, is that they are getting to have a lot more privacy than they have had in the past. Anybody who says different has their own agenda and I, for one, don’t plan to give them any of my attention.

Tumblr media
episode 1, start! ok trying this again because my original post was community flagged for reasons i don't understand
Tumblr media
so, this little goober decided to ride inside aerial on her trip from mercury to asticassia instead of like wherever normal passengers ride??? lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she really is a little cinnamon roll huh? and i love the added light novel details that she just automatically thought miorine was beautiful the first time she saw her here lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that she did, miomio
Tumblr media
wow is this that suit that one person had during that big ass match in episode 13?
Tumblr media
leave suletta alone, you jerks
Tumblr media
oh, miorine-san, if only you knew what that girl would become
Tumblr media
gotta wonder how in the world miorine dealt with pretty much being bullied by all these rich fucks. like how many failed attempts to try to go to earth had she had at this point that felsi and petra use it to make fun of her
Tumblr media
see, if guel had realized secelia wasn't sitting on the couch, then maybe he wouldnt have asked suletta to duel against him later on
Tumblr media
yeah, yeah, i know he mostly redeemed himself and didnt even end up being a weapons manufacturer in the end like his daddy (assuming the new asticassia isnt basically the elite's military training grounds like it was at the beginning), but god guel was such a fucking asshole
Tumblr media
in this moment, suletta's like "this is nothing like my fair use expired copyright mangas"
Tumblr media
there's no such thing as an ethical capitalist, but sarius definitely didn't like the way delling was running things
Tumblr media Tumblr media
prospera was at least a tragic figure, but we never really got to know what the hell made delling the way he is. like is he just some stupid war veteran with ptsd who lost his wife? either way, don't care. he was an asshole for everything he did to miorine and just irredeemable in my eyes lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
funny how suletta talking about her mom is what gets miorine to be a little bit kinder to her in this scene just because of her own mother. yeah prospera was manipulative with suletta and it was her idea for suletta to go to asticassia, so that makes it a little funny that talking about prospera here is really what in the end allows miorine to open up her heart to suletta. sorry, miorine, guess suletta was kind of right huh?
Tumblr media
sorry, lauda's just another character that will never be likeable to me either. he's just an asshole on top of being a total moron
Tumblr media
so glad guel got his comeuppance
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah, i wasn't gonna skip the slapping (editing my word-use here because i think saying sp**k got my original post for this episode community labeled... which i know now is not why because it got labeled AGAIN!!! and i still don't get why) but dang look at miorine's reaction to that. i still haven't decided if this is the moment miorine takes romantic interest in suletta for standing up for miorine or at the end of the duel later on this episode when she actually makes good on her promise
Tumblr media Tumblr media
get him, suletta lmao
Tumblr media
*wild tanuki noises*
Tumblr media
bob, you're so fucking stupid. glad he's just stuck listening to secelia and el0n now
Tumblr media
really wish we could know more about these two lol like rouji's an anxious little mess around everyone else, but perfectly comfortable with secelia
Tumblr media
i was really hoping for another scene of these two in the cockpit together, but miorine would've just died inside calibarn
Tumblr media
aerial really is such a cool mobile suit
Tumblr media
and there it is. the final scene to shock literally everyone ever on their first watch. it really makes me wish i had started watching live instead of just before the first cours was almost over, i can just imagine ~the discourse~
i started right around when the grassley fight episode had finally been subbed by gjm so around episode 10 real air time i believe? and like yeah, i had kept hearing it be referred to as gundam utena, but i wasn't prepared for this lmao
we didn't get a kiss and we didn't get the wedding on-screen, but i am so so happy these two ended up married in the end and that they're both so obviously in love with each other

Little Miss Loser
Chapter 7 - The Language Of Losers
Warnings: none
Authors Note: Hey guys!! Sorry about the delay on this update! I've been sick since last week but I'm starting to feel a little better finally. I'm not loving this chapter as much as my last couple of updates so if you see me edit this chapter at all mind your business lmao. I did enjoy the banter in this chapter at least lol :) Thank you guys so much for the continued support!! I've loved chatting with some of you guys on tumblr its really kept my motivated and inspired!
Summary: Frank and the reader are little shits and they absolutely team up against Richard also Edwin gives surprisingly good advice
Ao3
Chapters: || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 ||
Tumblr media
Listening to Richard’s bullshit was already pretty awful. But having to hear him drone on and on about his nine steps was so much worse. You were almost positive it was some form of psychological torture at this point, especially when Richard literally had you all as his captive audience.
The only bright side was having another person there to annoy the shit out of Richard in return. You were actually pretty impressed by how easily Frank slipped into the role of Richard’s annoying brother-in-law. Even Dwayne looks entertained as he listens to his uncle's sarcastic replies to Richard’s nonsense. 
At first, Richard is oblivious to the snide remarks from both you and Frank, too busy prattling on with his sales pitch. 
“--This is the guy who broke Tony Robbins! I mean he knows how to do it — start with the book; media tour; then corporate events, consulting, video series, direct buys on TV”  
You glance at Frank and then Dwayne, rolling your eyes. You honestly had his pitch memorized, you’d heard it so many times. 
“--There’s a science in how you roll these things out.” 
Frank sighs, shifting in his seat in front of you, “Very interesting.” 
“So now he’s at this Expo in Atlanta – he’s been hyping it up, you know, building the buzz – he’s doing what’s called a ticking clock auction.” 
Frank sits up a little straighter, voice dripping with sarcasm, “How about that,” he pauses and turns to you, “Isn’t that incredible (Y/N)?” 
You snort and nod, “Sure is.” 
Richard goes a bit rigid, “I can detect that note of sarcasm from you, Frank.” 
Frank gasps, doing a stunning job at playing up the shocked expression he has on his face, “Sarcasm? What sarcasm? (Y/N) did you notice any sarcasm?”
You shrug and offer Richard a teasing grin as he glances back at you through the rearview mirror, “Nope, no sarcasm.” Sheryl shakes her head, laughing to herself as Frank shoots you a shit-eating grin.
“Well I just want you to know– I feel sorry for you” 
Frank glances back at you, then at Dwayne, and then back to Richard, “You do? Good” 
Richard nods, clearly feeling a bit proud of himself, thinking he’s managed to gain the upper hand, “Because sarcasm is the refuge of losers.” 
“What? No,” you say in horror, biting back a laugh when you make eye contact with Dwayne. 
Frank mimics your shocked expression and gasps, “It is? Really?!” Sheryl shakes her head, trying not to laugh in the passenger seat.
“Sarcasm is just losers trying to pull winners down to their level. That’s one of the lessons of Step Four.” You had to hand it to Richard, the guy always knew how to bring the conversation back to his 9 steps. 
“Wow, Richard! You’ve really opened my eyes to what a loser I am!” Frank pauses and turns to you, “ (Y/N) how about you? You feel like you’ve learned something about yourself?”
You nod, grinning cheekily, “Dang, I sure wish I could be less of a loser like you Richard.” Dwayne snorts beside you, shaking his head when you wink at him.]
“Say, Richard, how much do we owe you for those pearls of wisdom?” 
Richard grunts, jaw tensing as he glances back at the two of you, “Oh this one’s on me buddy. It’s on me.”  From there you watch as the two men go back and forth. 
Sheryl sighs, twisting in her seat, “Okay. Alright, That’s enough. Frank, (Y/N), stop it.” 
You and Frank point at Richard and speak in unison, “He started it!”
Sheryl stares at both of you, shaking her head and laughing. It doesn’t take long for everyone else to begin giggling as well. Dwayne smiles beside you, rolling his eyes when you grin at him. 
Richard huffs and puffs in the front seat for a moment, opening his mouth to say something until his phone goes off.
“Alright! Alright! Quiet this is the call! This is it!” 
You ignore Richard and turn to Dwayne, leaning against his arm, “You having fun yet?”
He rolls his eyes, scrawling something down onto his notepad, “I would literally rather be dead.” 
You snort, shoving his arm playfully, “Come on, you’re having fun, I saw you smile” he shrugs, shoving you back a little bit, his lips twitching as he tries not to laugh–
You jolt as the bus swerves into the next lane, preparing to get off at the next exit, “Alright everyone, quick stop so i can get ahold of Stan, and then we’ll be back on the road!” Richard shouts, tossing his phone into the center console. 
Richard pulls into a small convenience store and barely gets into the car park before he hops out and runs toward the payphone. Everyone else remains in the car for a few seconds, just watching Richard’s frantic pacing as he waits for the call to go through. 
It doesn’t take long for all of you to get a little bored waiting. Sheryl shuffles out of the bathroom and Olive goes off to the other end of the parking lot to practice her routine. Frank went inside to grab a drink and some porn magazines for Granpa Edwin (It had taken everything in you not to start giggling when Edwin told Frank to grab himself a ‘fag rag’)Dwayne stepped out and went to stretch his legs on a patch of grass behind the bus, occasionally you would look through the window and watch him try not to laugh when you made a face at him. 
Which left you with Edwin for a little while. At first, you occupied yourself, drawing in Dwayne’s notebook or reading small passages out of his favorite book, smiling at the little notes he left in the margins. 
“So…kid.” Edwin said pulling your focus off of the book in your lap, “ You and Dwayne?”
You froze instantly, nearly tearing a page of the book as you turned to him, brows furrowed, “Excuse me?”
“Oh come on kid, I’m the old man with the bad hearing, not you. I know you heard me.” 
 You gave a nervous laugh, “Yeah I heard you.” you glance out the window catching a glimpse of Dwayne in the grass doing situps, “I just–I just don’t–uh–know what you’re trying to ask me”
Edwin shakes his head, and laughs, “Jesus kid do I really have to spell it out for you?” you stare blankly at him and he sighs. “When are you two going to stop dancing around each other?” 
“I’m not really a dancer.” you joke, attempting to turn the conversation around. 
Edwin snorts, “Alright smartass,” he sobers up quickly, raising a greying brow at you, “Don’t play dumb, it doesn’t suit you. We all see the way you look at Dwayne, it doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots on that.” 
“What–I–That—That's not–I don’t–Dwayne is just–”
Edwin shakes his head and waved a hand dramatically at you,“Yea yea–he’s your best friend I know–whatever, that’s not the point. You like him.” 
You stare, gaping at him for a few moments trying to decide if you should keep trying to deny it or if you should just come clean. Finally, you sigh, shoving Dwayne’s book into the bag at your feet before turning over to look at Edwin.
Edwin seems to notice the way you fall back defeated into your seat. He sighs and rests his hand on your shoulder, “Kid it's alright… Ya know he likes you too.” 
You snort, amused at the possibility, “yea right.” 
“Kid I swear to god I have no reason to lie to you.”  he nudges your arm, “And i’m not gonna tell Dwayne if that’s what you’re worried about.” 
Fuck it I guess.
You curl into yourself a bit, biting at the inside of your cheek, “Do you—Do you think he knows?” 
Edwin laughed at first but stopped as soon as he noticed you slump into your seat. He sighs, shifts a little closer, and pats your shoulder, “I don’t think he knows.”
You nod voice quiet and less confident than it normally would be, “I just don’t want to lose him.” 
Edwin nods in the way that elderly people do when they’re about to tell you a long story with some meaningful ending.
“Listen, kid, I pretend to know a lot of things, and most of its bullshit–” he smiles when you snort at his word use, “But I can honestly say that I don’t think you’d lose Dwayne, kid’s got it bad for you, we all see it.” 
You sigh, lifting your legs up to curl against your chest, resting your chin on your knees, “How can you be sure?” 
Edwin lets out a bark of laughter that makes you jump a bit, tilting your head at him, “Kiddo do I look like a fucking man who is ever sure about anything in life?”
You laugh with him for a few seconds, glancing out the window at each member of the Hoover family. You get stuck staring at Dwayne, watching as he continued doing various stretches. He’d be done soon and he’d join you on the bus again and you’d sit next to him and try your hardest to pretend that you weren’t head over heels for him.
Finally, you turn to Edwin, tilting your head slightly as you look at him, “I don’t know what to do,” you paused, words catching in your throat for a moment, “I feel like I should tell him because I hate lying to him… He’s my bestfriend–and–and–my parents—they–their divorcing and I just– I don’t want to end up–” 
“Woah, woah – kid – christ how do you not go crazy with thoughts constantly going wild in that brain of yours.” he shakes his head, placing his hands on his forehead and massaging the bridge of his nose, “I don’t know much about your family or anything like that but–shit kid you can’t live your life based on the mistakes your parents make.--” 
You stare at him blankly, squeezing your knees to your chest as he continues speaking, “Look kid, you’re what– 17?” he waits for you to nod,” Jesus kid for such a little troublemaker you sure do worry a lot, I mean you’ve got your whole life ahead of you for fucks sake, you got no reason to be worrying about shit like divorce already– go a little wild– just fucking— live your life kid”
You blink at him, brows furrowed for a moment before you finally gave a smile “You kind of suck at giving advice ya know that?” 
Edwin was quick to laugh at that, clapping his hand on your shoulder, “I’m doing my best kid.” 
To be fair, his best wasn’t all that bad. The advice was surprisingly helpful. He was right, you were 17 for fucks sake, you couldn’t live your life fending off a potential heartbreak like your parents. You deserved to just live life like every other teenager on earth. You didn’t know if you believed that Dwayne felt the same, but it did make you a little giddy to think about. 
Still, you weren’t ready to tell Dwayne how you felt. Admitting it to yourself, and to Edwin had been a start at least.
As if on cue Dwayne came into your line of sight, poking his messy head of hair into the doorway as he waved at you. You looked at Edwin first, biting your cheek nervously when he nodded at you, and then you looked at Dwayne gesturing for him to climb onto the bus. 
“What? You pull a muscle already tough guy?” you teased, poking his arms as he fell into the seat between you and Edwin. 
He rolled his eyes and leaned against you, smirking a bit at the way you scrunched your nose at him feeling how sweaty he was. You shoved him, ruffling his hair, “You fucking stink”  He shoved you back and you began playfully fighting, giggling when Dwayne poked your sides, knowing damn well how ticklish you were.
Edwin watched you both, a teasing smile on his lips whenever he caught your eye. It was both annoying and encouraging to know you had someone in your corner. After a while you stopped shoving each other, leaning against each other and laughing quietly until you caught sight of Richard talking angrily on the phone across the parking lot. 
Grandpa Edwin was quick to pick up on his body language as Richard spoke with increasing desperation, “He’s not getting it. Christ” You glanced up first at Richard and then shared a look with Edwin and Dwayne.
Frank appears then, walking stiffly and tossing a bag at Edwin before shuffling into his seat, “How’s it going?” 
You snorted, “Take a guess.” 
Grandpa Edwin hummed “Not so good.” Frank nodded and leaned back into his seat, slurping loudly at his blue slushie.
Sheryl and Richard return to the bus at the same time, at first you can’t hear what they're talking about but clearly, Sheryl isn’t happy with Richard. Honestly, you don’t really try very hard to listen to the conversation, if it was something small it would have amused you but the actual fighting just sort of made your mind go numb.
Dwayne was quick to notice the way you sank into your seat trying to get further away from the shouting. He pulled you into his side, one arm wrapping around your shoulder to keep you grounded. You leaned into him instantly, resting your head on his shoulder, whispering a quiet “thank you” as the fighting finally died down and Richard put the car into gear and allowed it to drift down the heal.
You remained like that as you coasted back onto the highway, tracing the letters stamped onto Dwayne’s T-shirt. Everyone is quiet at first and you realize after a moment that something is missing. Dwayne is already lifting his notebook for you and Frank to read by the time you recognize what’s wrong. 
“Where’s Olive?” You and Frank say in unison, cursing when Richard swerves to get off the highway and go back to the convenience store. 
Thank god for Olive being such a good sport about her family's antics. She looks absolutely thrilled when she sees the bus roll back into the parking lot. And she’s even more excited to dive onto the bus as Dwayne slides the door open and helps her in.
Olive climbs into the back seat, switching seats with Edwin so she can sit with you and Dwayne. She spends 20 minutes just talking your ear off before she falls asleep. And as much as you try not to, you and Dwayne end up falling asleep along with her. You imagine it had to have been kind of adorable to see Olive curled up on one side of Dwayne while you were curled up on the other side. 
It was easier to relax around Dwayne after talking with Edwin. Eventually, maybe you’d follow his advice and actually tell Dwayne how you felt. For now, you were content with just taking a nap.

WHOOOOOOOO IT'S A BEYOND THE HORIZON UPDATE
Here is the full series so far: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2955381
Here is part six:
Upon learning the Light is starting to affect you in ways you hadn't considered possible, you endure an aether transfer: and not without a unexpected price.
WOW I am so sorry about the enormous gap between updates, but I hope this makes up for it. Also HOLY CRAP I've been writing this dang thing for OVER A WHOLE YEAR, isn't that wild? And this part has so much fun in it. Wild dreams with dead people, aether transfers, fashion critique, make-outs...
Meanwhile I'm already staring at the next chapter right now thinking, oh man I can't wait for this part to go up.
Thank you again to @mercurialmalcontent and @edoro for their glorious editing skills.

PSA About Some Shady Shit on Tumblr
This post is to bring light to some shady marketing on tumblr. This is not about an individual, but rather as a company posing as an aesthetic/meme account in order to get people to buy from their shitty drop shipping company.
I am making this post because I am sick of covert marketing and drop shippers over charging for the same stuff that can be found for cheaper and by the actual company. I am also concerned for the possible hazard of drop shipped items that need to be food safe in order to use.
Tumblr user @/my-kawaii—world is a drop shipping company pretending to be an aesthetic blogger who happens to “find” links to all the products in posts. All these links lead to the same drop shipping company website: Lavender Constellation. Under the cut is evidence to support my claim.
Alt text has been added for accessibility.
Hey, so I’m really not one to make posts like this, but I saw something that rlly sketched me out that some people may want to be aware of.
So, someone I follow reblogged this really cute teapot that my-kawaii—world posted!
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of a tweet reposted by user my-kawaii—world on tumblr. The post reads “losing my mind over this frog teapot my best friend gave me”. Attached to the tweet are two images showing a green frog teapot with two black tadpole cups. ID END]
Seems innocent enough, right? But then you scroll to the end of the post.
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the bottom of the previous post by my-kawaii—world. Attached is a link to a storefront in green and pink text that reads “**Update For the people asking I asked her and she bought the frog tea set HERE🐸. ID END]
I thought “dang, a ton of people must have been asking them if they went to all that extra effort”, so I decided to check the tags.
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the post reblogs with the user names blocked out in red to respect privacy. From top to bottom, the tags read: #cat #basically #cats and #haha. ID END]
Why would people be tagging this with cats if it has nothing to do with cats? Looking further, if you open up a reblog, you see this.
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot a reblog that shows a different tweet. Punctuation has been added to alt text for readability. The tweet reads as follows: “Me: Invents a device to talk to cats. Cat: Oh god, finally you understand me. When ever I meow for hours it’s because I want wet food. I know this was so opaque for you. Me: No no, I knew you want wet food the whole time, but you can’t have it whenever you want. Cat: (blank space) Me: (blank space) Cat: first of all, fuck you,”. ID END]
They’re retroactively editing their high note posts to give more credibility to the shit they’re selling. Here is the listing on the linked website
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of a website called “Lavender Constellation”. The website has a light purple background with darker purple text. The listing image is of a green frog teapot with two black tadpole cups on a pink background and labeled “TEA SET FROG & TADPOLE”. The item’s original price is listed as $149.95 USD and is listed as on sale for $79.99 USD. ID END]
Wow isn’t it so cool that it’s on sale right now? Save over $60 USD? What a steal! They also offer free world-wide shipping and have a coupon code you can use. Crazy.
Upon further digging, the real teapot is the frog from the サンアート aka sunart brand, specifically from their parent and child collection. And guess what? You can get it on Amazon for less than half the price, even after the “sale���.
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of the same green frog teapot and black tadpole cups listen on Amazon. At the bottom are options to select, including Frog Parent, Elephant Parent, and an additional one that is cut off. The frog parent is $32.96 USD and the elephant parent is $26.22 USD. ID END]
I looked into the brand and they seem to specifically make ceramics additionally, the options to pick less popular options that I don’t see nearly as many bootlegs of make me pretty confident this is the actual product.
This is far from the only post they’ve done this with. Looking at their blog, you’ll see a sea of ads for their original posts, all linking to the same store:
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of a post by my-kawaii—world. The post is cut off due to the size of the device it was taken on. In the screenshot, there is an image of a silver sword ring with a skull on the pommel and a chain connecting the pommel to the cross-guard. Below the image is a link that red, bolded, and underlined text that reads: “OMG, I FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT WITH FREE SHIPPING!!!!”. ID END]
And then following the link, we get taken right back to the Lavender Constellation website:
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the same Lavender Collection Website from before with a pale purple background and darker purple text. The listing photo is of a person’s hand with a silver ring in the shape of a sword. It has a skull on the pommel and a chain connecting the pommel to the cross-guard. The listing is labeled “STAINLESS STEEL GOTH SWORD RING” in purple text. ID END]
If you go to their page, you will see a ton of other examples of this. Hell, I have even more examples, but I feel this post is long enough as is. I’m frankly fed up with people doing this shit, especially charging over double the price of an original product for a shitty knock off.
I’m not going to comment of the safety of these products (i.e., if the knock off teapot is food safe or not) because I don’t plan on buying one to test for lead, but that is a genuine risk you have when buying drop shipped products. For example, counterfeit makeup is well known for containing chemicals that can be harmful to the skin due because they’re much cheaper than the skin safe stuff. Here is a research article that discusses some of the harmful effects that unregulated, counterfeit makeup can have on your skin. The article is open access, so don’t worry about being blocked by a paywall.
Again, I don’t know if the counterfeit teapot is food safe or not, I haven’t been able to find any posts discussing the bootleg, or even Lavendar Constellation as a whole, but with stuff like this, it’s much better to be safe than sorry.
I am positive my-kawaii—world and Lavender Constellation are not the only people running operations like this on tumblr, I’m sure there are a shit ton more. Most will probably run the same way as my-kawaii—world. Essentially if you go to a page that posts a ton of cute, aesthetic products and they link to the same website for every single thing, it’s probably a drop shipping scam.
I’m not someone who thinks I’m “morally superior” for buying only name brand stuff, hell I own a few bootleg plushies, but items that need to food safe are not something I personally would fuck around with. And even if these bootlegs are food safe, the fact that they are charging over double the price of the original is so ludicrous and inexcusable.
Personally, I recommend blocking the @/my-kawaii—world account. Don’t micromanage people who have already reblogged from them unless they’re a friend, mutual, etc. Basically, don’t harass strangers who happened to reblog the original post or the edited post. Just get the word out there about this account.
Do I think my post will shut down their site and drive them off Tumblr? Probably not. But the more people that know about this specific scam and scams like it, the better.

Here are my thoughts on all the Doc Ock, and for the most part their voices, mainly.
If there are any doc ock I missed who have talking parts that I missed, feel free to let me know and I will edit this accordingly after checking them out:
60s: Doc Ock sounds like such an old man. It looks 30s-40s at best but he sounds 70-80 dhdnfnrjd I love him tho. He's so stupid (affectionate)
70s: sounds like he could have been a character on Batman 66 tbh... and that would be a compliment.
80s: SO WHINY. Baby rage. Sounds almost like an old lady. Poor dude, puberty did you no justice. 😔
90s: ..ah. This is the German Otto. My man. Your outfit is so... yikes. And your poor hair. My guy.. My dude.. plz.
The Sinister Six, game: oh.. oh this voice gives me Humongous Entertainment Games vibes.. the visuals are absolutely absurd tho LOL
2004: Hi Mr.Molina, sir. Hi. Where's your shirt? Awfully drafty scuttling around like that.. with your whole chest out.. like that.. easier and breezier? I can respect that.
2000 game: I think he needs to clear his throat and maybe take a nap. Not too many German Doc Ock's. Fascinating.
Enter Electro: holy crud, Doc. Very gruff and a little gravelly. Dang.
Spiderman 2 game: I didn't know you did 1920s Detective Noir villain voices. Sounding a little more unhinged here.. you good, Alfred?
Friend or Foe: Have you considered going into voice work as the narrator for movie trailers? I think it would be a better occupation.
2008: MARSHMALLOW BABY MAN BELOVED. YES. KILL. VIOLENCE. YOU WERE NEVER WEAK 💕
Shattered Dimensions: Ma'am..? Have we not learned from the past?
Total Mayhem: Hm. I uh. I don't know what to say, really.
Edge Of Time: Oh. Oh someone save this poor guy. It's ok Otto, you will get out of this safely and be able to take a nice long and well deserved vacation (I hope?? Is this man okay?? Someone tell me he's alright, I worry--)
Lego Marvel Superheroes: wow. Just. Wow. Saturday morning cartoon guy.
Ultimate, and Lego: Hi Tom Kenny. Hi. The heck are you doing here, my good sir?
PS4: Oh hey gramps. Sick arms. Love the wicked glow and the glowy claw tips
Ultimate Alliance: Nice voice. Maybe.. tone down the anger? I feel you get a lot of headaches from all the rage.. need a vacation, buddy?
Marvel's Spidey: Oh gosh. Oh gosh no. Hi uhh.. Hi Robin from Teen Titans? I... I don't... I don't like this.
Marvel Superhero Adventures: Oh my gosh. ...Oh.. My gosh. His voice. I love it. It's so stupid. Like a dumb stereotypical nasally high pitched German mad scientist. My word. I need more.
Spiderverse: OLIVIA. HI. HI OLIVIA. HEY GIRL. HOW ARE YOU? LOOKING GOOD, MA'AM!
Spidey and his amazing friends: ...Girl what. #girl ???
No Way Home: HI ALFRED. HI. WELCOME BACK, SIR. Glad to see you warmed up with a sweater! Love it! Looks cozy! Gotta stay comfy and classy when committing crimes against your will and better judgement! Are those transition lenses? Awesome! Very convenient!

starshine legacy playthrough part 1
level 1
dang these graphics are CRISP!!! this was a CD rom game??? jealous!!!
Tumblr media
i did in fact think there was an award for “Dyke” in there
got confused because i thought the massive stairway landing counted as a floor
wow we have to explicitly demonstrate that we’re not like the other girls?? dang
HAHA showed our guts by winning at a horrible game of tag
wow ?,,, uhh, already foiled an attempt at framing the book girl… what kind of horrible school is this…
level 2 - jorvik stables
the music and ambiance is so cool and spooky and sad and mysterious
alright i tried every door in this courtyard trying to find linda and one opened so i thought i’d finally found it but . i can’t go anywhere in the arena i ended up at so i guess i haven’t found The Stables yet. rip
ah. found the door. i just hadn’t done the dialogue all the way
OH SHIT DEPRESSED HORSIE??
DEPRESSED HORSIE CAN TALK?? WHAT THE HELL
don’t worry girlie just believe in urself and riding a horse for the first time since ur injury won’t be a problem!!” last time i rode i got thrown off for the 7th time and got a concussion lmao this game knows me too well
nooooo why are they letting the transfer student get right in the saddle no questions asked
“you’ll hit the ground faster than i can say ‘white trash princess’!”
“i thought i was the white trash princess…”
ah shoot i got stuck trying to dismount and accidentally did a gesture on my touchpad that works as a back button. didn’t know it could do that
i could have sworn it said starshine would only jump if he was in a gallop, but we are clearly cantering.. odd
lisa is very carefree about what side she mounts and dismounts from
casually “hey kid! you rode the horse good! i bet you have superpowers!”
“oh i might have superpowers? lemme try this” [instantly is able to use powers on command] lisa is just built different
wow!! lisa’s ringtone is Awful!!
level 3 - the library
linda tells us to meet her at the school library after hours? book girl being a rulebreaker? way to go!
hehe the janitor humming
“i was afraid the janitor wouldn’t let you in!” so we could have just talked to him? instead of sneaking around?
mr sands is a vampire?? mr sands is immortal??
whoa starshine is immortal too?? you would think all immortals would know each other by now
level 4 where is starshine?
whoa the nighttime ambiance at the stables is so great there’s huge stars and HAHAH THERE’S THE SPOOKY LADY VOCALS I KNOW!! WOOOHOOO HELLO SPOOKY LADY
now which one of those hired arms wrote the location of their secret base on a prominently branded matchbox and left it at the scene of their crime??
sabine: “omg you can’t go after them, the parents and teachers will hate it!! so instead i’m locking you in the stable overnight. this is a good plan.”
Tumblr media
i accidentally clipped through the floor of the watery basement sdjfksjdfhkjdfh
Tumblr media
“we need to find a way out of the stables!!” i think i’m out haha
“i think it’s better if i go alone” no it isn’t??? hello???
[edit from the future - i now understand that lisa went alone so that her friends wouldn’t be put in the uncomfortable situation of having to report her extensive property damage and trespassing crimes]
level 5 - the industrial complex
ok we’re just breaking in . by walking in huge pipes! great! awesome! there’s those spooky lady vocals again!
oops i didn’t even notice the searchlight got me. very nice of the game to just calmly fade to black when we get spotted instead of jumpscaring me
we just exploded a huge pipe!!! awesome!
we are now walking through said huge pipe which we just exploded by buildup of steam internally! and not getting burned!
uhhhh
Tumblr media
i don’t know where i’m supposed to be going but there’s a star down there soooo
Tumblr media
I SHOULD NOT BE HERE????????
well if you leap into the water you only go back to the start of the water so that’s nice
Tumblr media
OH WHAT THE HELL????????
Tumblr media
this is a really fun escape scene but uh we fell . through the floor, it just disappeared. these are my True Powers..
rats now i gotta do it all over again
i love how there’s no falling animation, she just chillin
oh man i got so into that level that i let my laptop battery die for the first time ever… luckily it managed to save my progress somehow and i didn’t have to start the level over for the third time
 something i like about star stable franchise is how the game is less Horse Game and more Game heavily involving Horses, plot takes place surrounded by horses, which is fun
level 6 - the woods
at first i was like “i dunno, lisa, this looks like a pretty safe trail” but then it just kept getting WORSE and WORSE and OHHHH MANNNNN !!! WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN JUMPING THOSE CLIFFS
level 7 - the competition
surprised that the snobby rich girl is our friend and on our side now? guess our gang has a common enemy in sabine. way to go girl! unity!
Tumblr media
ok that was really fun!! looking forward to playing the rest of the episodes!!

Self-Celebration
me: oh no, I've gotten nothing done, I'm a failure
them: wow, Danni, how do you do so much????
I, maybe, need a good reminder of all of my accomplishments, so here we go. Everything I've accomplished this year so far. That I remember, anyway.
Threw together my HP Astro series; edited and formatted and posted to AO3 in time for Bethy's birthday!
Got White Lies & Silver Bells ready to go live on AO3 as soon as Hoggywartyxmas reveals were up!
Wrote Again (and Again) on a whim, to accompany A-Loveunlaced's Snarry art
Wrote a BUNCH of random drabbles for a House of Snarry challenge. 6 of which I also posted to AO3! (A handful of which I have not yet.)
Wrote 5 fics for Kinkuary! 2 of which are in the same universe as Contempt. 2 of which are not yet posted (waiting for the 27th and 28th!) 1 of which (the longest of which) I wrote, edited, and posted same day! The day after I had a tooth extraction.
Wrote 3 fics for Chan Fest! All of which I wrote, edited, and posted same day. 2 of which are 5k+ words!
Various words in various other places.
Brainstorming for other fics.
Co-modding @hp-chan-fest
Starting @hp-fruit-fest (and running solo, RIP me)
Modly duties on the Snarry Sanctuary Discord server
Keeping on top of my AO3 comments! (You know, responding to them.)
New HP Astro posts (Lily, Snily, Luna, and Ron (to be posted 3/1/23!))
Made several ship and fic related playlists on Spotify
Made TONS of fic banners on Canva.
Several rec lists! 8 posted so far, and a few queued up!
Got my home office all set up and cozy!
Brainstorming ideas with friends
Helping alpha/beta/cheer read for friends
Try to stay involved in the community/socializing on Discord, Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit.
Supporting other creators as much as possible!
Finally took the time to learn how to create work skins on AO3!
And site skins!! And finally got all fic stats and personal stats hidden (for mental health!)
Fought with site skin codes on behalf of a friend, to get it tuned to her liking, so that she has a clean and stress-free environment if/when she returns to fandom! (The perks of having your friends' AO3 login haha!) (This took like an hour I stg and I was being way too stubborn to stop fiddling and consult a guide.) (But oh well, I did the dang thing!!!!)
Started compiling resources I need to begin book binding! Still a ways off before I can start cuz supplies are not cheap, but I'm on the right path!
ALSOOOOO
Working a full time job
Spending time with my longtime partner (my beloved Eddie-bear!)
I actually watched a still-newish show for once! Wednesday!
Finished reorganizing/decluttering my home
Baked...a lot. Mostly cookies. Going to bake brownies this weekend!
Many doctor's appointments
And medication changes
I filed my taxes!!
Oh yeah and started being a teensy bit more sociable at work! I had a nice long conversation about ASTROLOGY the other day which was fun and great and awesome.
Oh let's not forget about all my work accomplishments! I made 8 years with my company. All the people coming and going (which I get to deal with.) Our census going way up. Many IT calls and playing IT person for small tech problems. Many errands run. Oh yeah and all the new tasks I get to do because our funder and our corporate office BOTH love changing expectations frequently.
So like...there's stuff I wish I could do and haven't been able to yet. But I'm far from a failure! Or lazy, for that matter. I am a lady of ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Alchemy of Souls: Theories and Analysis for Eps 15-16
Hello readers and plagiarists,
I am done being nice. People have truly tested my patience.
Let's take a look at some examples of people who have been stealing my ideas/theories from this blog and reposting it as their own.
Exhibit #1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Huh...interesting....I wonder who uses the line "thinking caps on"........oh right....ME. Apparently this person loves wearing my thinking cap! Illusions and memories...so thought provoking.....would they have arrived at the same conclusions if they hadn't read my blog? Nope.
Exhibit #2
Tumblr media
Wow.....the whole never seeing the King and Jang Gang swap back and only knowing based on the conversation they had after the swap back.......AMAZING!!! ASTONISHING!!! Too bad I was the only one who pointed these things out. Naksu being able to heal her eyes because she had gathered energy after learning many spells/skills in her previous body.....WOW...wonder where they got this from? They even used the word "data" hahahahaha. You know who else uses the word "data"? People in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM)....... aka me...the scientist. In a recent dm with this person on Tumblr, I described to them how my thinking process worked (basically an adaptation of the scientific method). I told them I researched things I did not know, collected/gathered data (i.e things from the show), formed a hypothesis, analyzed data, reexamine my hypothesis if needed. So, if you see stuff about AOS endgames from this person, just know they didn't come up with those things. I was the one who told them mostly everything during a private message. It was my mistake for trusting such a despicable human being. The nerve for this person to say they had the "same thoughts" as me....same thoughts my ass.
Actually... good luck to all the plagiarists....I will not be here to explain everything that happens in Part 2!
Stupid people taking smart people's ideas just so they can receive praise. All they wanted was to feel good about themselves at my expense. They did not stop for a second to consider that this blogger right here had sacrificed time to eat and sleep just to come up with all of these ideas in the first place. All of my theories were a result of spending countless hours researching, rewatching episodes, and thinking about everything. Not to mention the many hours I spent writing and editing all these posts. These plagiarists also did not have to endure all the personal attacks I had received for all of my theories either. They received all the good things and none of the bad.
From Reddit to Facebook to Twitter, I am sick and tired of seeing so many people steal from me. I have had enough. I am trying to find the proper words to express how I feel right now, but I cannot. I am at a loss for words. I have never experienced this amount of plagiarism until now. Not when I wrote posts for TKEM, TOTNT, or DAYS. I cannot even think straight at this point.
For those who have done nothing wrong and have always given me credit for my ideas/theories, I want to thank you from the deepest parts of my heart. I am incredibly sorry for how things turned out.
Tumblr media
To those who have come here to take more of my ideas/theories...
Tumblr media
This will be my last T&A post for Part 1. I had written 11 pages and 5370 words, but thanks to all these plagiarists, I deleted nearly everything. What is left are some skeleton theories. I won't be including stuff about Part 2 and I will not be answering any more questions. For Part 2, I will be creating a separate password protected blog.
I do not even feel like saying "thinking caps on" anymore...
Shaman Choi and Jin Mu's Evil Plan
Past..Present..same but different.
Tumblr media
Who's Jin Bu Yeon's Daddy?
Jang Gang.
Tumblr media
Knowledge is Liberation
Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon-Jang Uk -Seo Yul
Jang Uk successfully gets Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon the Ice Stone.
Final Endgames
Jang Uk x Heo Yun Ok
Seo Yul x Jin Bu Yeon
Park Dang Gu x Jin Cho Yeon
Part 1 Ending
Takes place back on the icy lake from Ep1. Trapping of souls. Bad guys die. Bigger fish to fry at the western borders of Daeho.
Part 2
See ya in Seoho Fortress!

It Seems the Hills and Rivers Have Been Waiting. This fic, wow. I kept telling people I was going to bind this fic with every chapter update. Dayum, ScarlettStorm, dayum.
Dang, I can't believe I was following the fic for 2 whole years. It's so good though, that as soon as I finished reading the epilogue, I marathoned my way over the course of 2 days to finish 90% typeset of over 390k words. Then I took nearly a month on the little flourishes and physically building the book, which oh boy this curtain brocade I bought a decade ago is beautiful but whoops the embroidered leaves at the corners started fraying like heck in short tufts (stahp, no).
This led to a hilarious hour in the Discord server as a fellow member tried to assist in explaining how to do the currently unplanned for corners because what is maths but thank goodness my brain realised two of the triangles make a square so the diagonal should be double the width of the facing spinal bookcloth asdfhhjkklll omg thank you geometric logic. I was also terribly concerned I had miscalculated the fore edge overhang because I haven't gotten this down pat yet. Somehow pulled it off??? And then doing the second attempt in my life at sewing endbands and I somehow managed to fix a couple of missed/loosened spots.
Also had a helping hand in turning the boar spear I drew up in Sketchbook app into a proper ornament because I'm not at that level yet (I love the Renegade members).
I did my best with editing the photos for consistency but the camera kept changing the colour tones and I just wanted a nap by the end of it.

I might reblog with process photos later on if I remember lol

Tumblr media
im sorry, wasnt she a wild witch??? why is she cheering for philip AT the day of unity???

AND WILLOW SO SMOOTHLY CATCHING HUNTER LIKE THAT?!?!? AAA- AND HIS EARS WENT RED, AS WELL AS HIM BLUSHING!!!!!!!!

ok ok, so king’s dad trapped the collector, and now king’s emblem can make him invisible from them? so king’s dad knew that the collector was a threat, even to A TITAN, which is very concerning, to say the least
really random thing but now eda only has one arm?? and they treated it so casually???

sour then sweet
summary: you cannot stand huening kai and you gotta do something about it but you're not sure what. It will either result in you strangling him or kissing him and there’s no in between
tags: one sided enemies to lovers, first confessions, tsundere!mc, literally just verbal diarrhea i apologize
edited by: @its-madi
you’re not exactly friends with kai, but the two of you are like acquaintances because of mutual friends 
at first, you're like, dang, he's kinda cute, but then he opened his mouth, and you were immediately turned off
you're like, wait no he seems nice though :( but GOD, HE IS SO LOUD, and you can’t stand loud people
soon enough, you find yourself somehow agreeing to hang out with that friend that’s also friends with kai (see: kang taehyun), and you're like UGH
anyways, you’re talking with taehyun making some witty jokes and kai just has to laugh so damn loud
he’s got everyone in the room shooting glances at you guys 
and you sink in your seat because its a cafe and there are people studying and trying to having business conversations or something
you think, I can never show my face in this cafe AGAIN and it's a damn shame because their lattes are so good
it gets worse, not only do you not like him very much, taehyun just HAS to give kai your phone number
he's like texting you with all these cute emoticons and emojis and you're like, pls stop talking to me i'm trying to watch a three hour long YouTube video
but you don't have the heart to say that to him cause it’s just really rude and you’re not that kind of person
so, since you're such a people pleaser you agree to stand in line with kai to get a new game 
it’s awkward because you’ve never hung out with him alone but wow does he have A LOT to say and you have very little
you start to think that his voice is now going to be ingrained in your mind and you’ll start to hear it randomly
anyways, he’s SO excited and it’s kinda cute but you don’t wanna admit that
when you get home you're so mentally exhausted. on the bright side you never have to watch jujutsu kaisen cause kai spoiled the entire first season (not that you were gonna watch it anyways)
some days go by and you haven’t heard from kai and you’re kinda worried but at the same time you don't really care that much cause you’ve been addicted to playing mario kart
finally, you see him again when taehyun needed some help with idk buying new gym stuff
and of course kai is chatting your ear off while you both are following taehyun around this sporting goods store
then somehow you both find out you guys like playing badminton and then start absolutely trash-talking each other
and now you’re pumped because one: you finally have someone to play badminton with, and two: your new goal in life is to absolutely 100% DESTROY huening kai
like crush his spirit entirely and shut him up 
the two of you pick a day and you show up at the indoor badminton courts
and you didn’t anticipate him actually being good 
not to mention you didn’t anticipate HOW COOL HE LOOKS???? HELLO????? he looked so cool 
and you’re kinda flustered but call bs because he’s so tall and has long legs
it ends with you losing and kai not holding back on the teasing
he’s laughing with his cute obnoxious laugh and you’re SO SALTY but you just shrug it off because it’s not that big of a deal
on the bus ride home you’re just sitting with your arms crossed ignoring him 
and then HE STARTED WHINING AND POUTING WHILE HE WAS PATTING YOUR SHOULDER TRYING TO CONSOLE YOU
and you’re like ??????? I will kill you?????
but not really because you kind of have a soft spot for him even if you didn’t want to
kai starts texting you again and this time he’s sending all sorts of memes and videos and music and you ask yourself, why me???
but tbh you’re kind of happy he’s texting you again
THEN HE SENDS YOU PICS OF HIS PLUSHIE COLLECTION AND YOU JUST CRY “OH MY GOD HE'S SO CUTE” 
BUT YOU'RE THINKING, WAIT, WHAT? DO I ACTUALLY FIND HIM CUTE? WHAT? NO, NEVER. HE'S NOT CUTE, HE'S ANNOYING AND IRRITATING AND GOOFY AND A RAY OF SUNSHINE AND I HATE HIM 
but not actually hate because you could never hate someone like kai
anyways, now you’re so, so, SO conflicted. 
then kai invites you to go see a superhero movie but you’re lost the entire time but you like going to the cinema so it’s kind of a win-win
afterwards, when you tell Kai you don’t have patience to keep up with the marvel cinematic universe lore, he frowns, and you feel like you just kicked a puppy 
WHY IS HE SO SAD? 
you don’t understand this kid. you watched the movie without complaints, why is he sad now and why do you feel bad?
kai explains he was hoping you would have as much fun as him and asked why didn’t you tell him you didn’t like superhero movies and you’re ready to choke him
but you won’t because he’s the most precious human bean
you assure him that you didn’t mind and just enjoy going to the movies with friends and eating popcorn 
he feels better now and you’re much more relieved. 
you go home and as you’re sitting on your couch loafing, you cannot stop thinking about kai
it felt like kai was on your mind A LOT and you didn’t know how to feel
on one hand, you’re so flustered because, hello, he’s adorable 
on the other hand, you felt kind of bad because you disliked him before but now y’all are kind of buddies
kai texts you as you’re pondering and he’s playing animal crossing and he’s showing you how he arranged a bunch of roses into a heart shape and you just throw your phone across the couch
it’s over. he’s officially won your heart. 
NOW YOU REALLY START OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING 
Sir, WHAT THE HELL??
is he flirting???? or just being cute????? you’re confused as all hell
some days go by and now you’ve ended up at a park with kai 
you two got boba, even though you don’t really love boba but kai was so excited and you have a big fat crush that you don’t wanna admit
kai was determined to show you his sick skateboard tricks such as riding at a snail's pace
however, the reality was that he wanted some company while hanging at the park and you were kind of always free when he was free
you’re just standing around watching him try to get more comfortable riding a skateboard 
you’re cheering him on like “you go skater boy”
eventually it just becomes kai holding onto your arm as you pull him around the park
and you don’t care much because this is just how he is and you tolerated it
y’all end up sitting on some grass watching the sunset and kai is like “hey I really like hanging out with you” and you’re like ready to strangle him because he’s being so cute all of a sudden 
you just say “thanks I like hanging with you too” and you’re trying not to look at him too much because you know he probably looks extra beautiful in that golden hour sunlight
so a month or two goes by and you haven’t been able to see kai at all and you’re a little devastated because who else were you gonna playfully tease??
sure, he texted you often, but you hated how much you missed him
you would always bang your fist on your desk because he was too cute and it hurt your soul
not only that but you missed him SO much 
you decide enough was enough and you were gonna ask to meet with him to confess
you tell him to meet you at a fun themed cafe and braced yourself 
what if he laughed at your confession?? or thought it was a prank????
what then???? you’d probably have to actually kill him at that point 
so the two of you meet finally and kai looks so adorable. his hair had grown out and he was stunning and you were ready to go sulk in a corner over how beautiful he is
you guys enjoyed overpriced food and drinks and got to play with bunnies afterwards. 
when all was said and done you two were just walking around. you were stalling your confession because you were terrified 
you’ve completed 180’d your opinion of him and wondered if it was too late to go back
while you two sat on a bench somewhere you decide to just spit it out
“kai, i like you. like… like like you. you know a crush.” you sounded so stupid but it’s really how you felt. you were really forcing yourself to look at him. once again, his visuals were enough to make you believe angels walked among men.
kai was smiling all shyly and looked away from you. you only kept looking at him, feeling more embarrassed as each second passed.
“i like you too. i wanted to tell you for a while that i’ve liked you but i was too shy,” he confessed and you felt cupid’s bow stab your little old heart. he was too pure. you had to protect his heart at all costs. 
you two share a small laugh together and kai asks if he can hug you to which you shyly nod your head.
you end up giving him a kiss on the cheek and both of you turn into a flustered mess. 
kai walked you back all the way home while holding your hand and you swore you were gonna melt.
it was crazy how you went from hating him to absolutely being smitten but he was worth it.
even if he still made you want to dig yourself a grave to lie in

7, 9 and 12 for the ask game :3
7) that i nursed in a daydream before finally writing: Aw, dang, so much of those specific daydream-based writings are still stuck in the daydream stage. BUT I may have something from the super rough draft of a future chapter (subject to change) that I've daydreamed about nonstop and cannot WAIT to finally get to:
Mabel remained still until he rounded a corner out of sight, then spun on her heels to face Bill. “Dipper, I can explain—” Any further explanation died in her throat as she peered at him from behind her glasses. Glasses, Bill guessed, that were probably the reason she hadn’t lost her mind while staring directly into the beast’s eyes. A second passed, then another— “...You’re not Dipper.” There it was.
9) with characters i love: Hmm, have another snippet from one of the next few chapters with Mabel and Bill (again, subject to editing):
“Wendy and Dipper are prepping for it in my place!” she insisted, crossing her arms with a pout. “And it’s gonna be big and awesome and you’re still not invited!” “Oh, I’m so wounded,” Bill said with playful sarcasm. “Also wow, you really left Pine Tree to take care of party preparations? That’s like dropping a blobfish in the Sahara!” He tilted his head. “Would probably be just as funny to watch him flop around helplessly in the scorching desert sand, though!"
12) that has a particularly good bit of characterization: Hmm, that's a good question. I hate to once AGAIN go Mabel (no I don't), but this scene in particular from chapter 1 makes me smile and I really feel like I got her well:
She reached into her bag and pulled something out with a wide grin, before holding it up for Dipper to see. “I even made him a personalized sweater, so he has another one to wear besides his red one!” she explained, pointing to a smiling picture of Ford on the front. “See? I knitted a happy little picture of him—” She moved her finger to the next one. “—and this one’s of the six-fingered hand that was on his journals—” And finally her finger landed on the stitched writing at the bottom. “—and this part says ‘A-FORD-able! Not like ‘affordable’, but like ‘adorable with Ford!’’ …I was already halfway done when I remembered ‘affordable’ was already a word, so I just added that last part instead of undoing everything.”
As we can see...I like writing Mabel <3
