Thought it would be fun to share that for Christmas my bf got me a custom-made Xenoblade-concept-art puzzle and we're working on it together :)

Ask game! 5, 11, 19!

5. Do you have a favorite spell that you find particularly powerful?

Excluding healing arts (because I personally wouldn't consider them 'spells'), I think the most 'powerful', rather, shocking effect I've gotten was with one specific cleansing method I tried, not really expecting much of it, but with surprising results. In the weirdest way possible. I kid you not, I ended up waking up in the middle of the night to unknowingly summoned spirits manifest in physical form. That kind of weird. It's become my favorite way to remove unwanted spirits and things from the home ever since.

11. Do you have a favorite book or resource that has influenced your craft significantly?

Book, I don't think so. I do read witchcraft books but they're not deal breakers to me. What I read more often, and do end up adding up to become important references in my practice, are articles in anthropology, history, or similar publications. As a researcher, I'm more in sync with that kind of sources and they're easier for me to read and understand (and importantly, put weight on) than most 'witchy' books I read. Less mass-marketed, regurgitated, commonly misappropriated filler, less pseudohistory, more substantial data, in it's proper very specifically stated context and with all which that context entails taken into account in the writing and described, with further similar quality references at the end for me to continue digging. Those are things that I can actually work with. Picking one article to be my most influential source at the moment feels impossible to me, there isn't one. It's how all the little pieces from different sources (including many being personal experiences) add up to form the bigger picture that has meaning and influence to me.

There are good books out there, of course there are. But I don't really get 'influenced' by them because I was already brought up with a lot very clear answers to my questions, and those answers don't tend to agree a whole lot with what I read from other people. I read grimoires and 'classics' as what they are, an often embellished glimpse of what somebody else was thinking or doing at the time. I might compare ideas, practices, beliefs and conclusions, but I don't have a book (or books) that I can point to and say "this is where I got my beliefs/practice from!" or "this was my starting point". I would be pointing at my family's elders instead. There are books that I've found fascinating because they seem to have come to similar conclusions to my own but from a completely different angle, and from very different paths, but I don't think that's what the question was referring to? (is it really influential if you were already doing or thinking the same thing?) I consume a fair amount of books, articles, podcasts and videos from other practitioners, but frustratingly to me, most of the time what they talk about is either (a) while still interesting, exciting even, to hear and contemplate, old news to me, (b) factually wrong or misinformed and thus painful to hear, (c) simply something I already have formed ideas about and therefore something I simply have to disagree with the other person on. I deeply enjoy option (a), I also enjoy (c) because it puts my brain to work and challenges my beliefs in a healthy way, but I dread (b), and it breaks my heart when the hit comes from someone I respect. The influential break-throughs, twists and turns I take at this point are coming from personal experience, UPG becoming VPG, and various forms of communication with my Spirits, Deities and Ancestors.

19. What advice would you give to someone just starting their witchcraft journey?

Besides the obvious answer for me being "begin with your Ancestors" and seeking ancestral spirits in general, I'd say it's also important to figure out where your strengths lie and to nurture those gifts first. Sometimes people online make it seem like you have to know everything and be able to do everything to be a "real witch", and that's simply not true. It's even a harmful thing to believe. For starters, acknowledging that certain practices will absolutely be closed to you or out of your reach from the get-go, and there's certain things you will never be able to do for multiple reasons, is not an option, it's a fact, is a need. But even further, there's certain things that you simply will not be the best at, or not even be good at. And that's perfectly normal. Focus on your gifts instead. What can you do. What comes natural to you. How you can develop a full working skillset from the talents you were given at birth and the strengths you already have.

Thanks for asking!

seriously? Closed species? Give me a break. They're nothing but a bunch of Avatar wannabes, lacking any originality whatsoever. It's infuriating to see talented artists wasting their skills on such a dumb and pointless concept. And DON'T even get me started on how they feed off people's consumption addictions and profit from the least original idea imaginable. Ugh, it's enough to make me want to create my own so-called ""illegal"" alien furry just to mock the whole ridiculous closed species trend

the TIMING and the irony of WHEN the notif from your post popped out on my screen while I was watching this video ~

wait when you discover that I also ‘waste my talent’ on drawing kinky NSFW furry commissions to make a living. and all commissioners I had so far - are all wonderful people who respect artist’s hard work.

if you want talented artists to not ‘waste their talent’ on ‘unworthy things’ - you’re absolutely welcomed to support them financially and help them to direct their talents towards their actual dreams and ambitions. for example: my TRUE dream since 2014 is to create an animatic series about my alien OC Isay. you can help me to direct my talent towards this dream by subscribing to my Patreon. if I ever achieve at least 500$ monthly income from Patreon - I will finally be able to focus on my original story releasing instead of frantically seeking one way after another to make a living.

just support your favorite artists financially if you want them to stop ‘wasting their talent’. otherwise, you don’t actually give a single shit about artists. you just want them to provide you a free entertainment medium YOU prefer.

P.S.: Sirises - are my alien original species and a crucial part of that exact story which I’ve been developing since 2014 but never had an opportunity to share a single piece of it due to being too busy while trying to survive. my main OC Isay - is a Siris, a main character of this animatic series in question, and my meaning of life. if I’m as autistic artist with depression, PTSD, ADHD and numerous health issues including one that requires surgery can somehow monetize Sirises in the moment of my life when I have NO OTHER WAY to make a living at all due to being a war refugee in a foreign country - I will monetize them to survive so I be able to move towards my dream.

P.S.S.: art - is a luxury item, not a necessity like food or meds. no one forces people to buy commissions, adopts, MYOs (Sirises by the way have a plenty of free options to obtain but of course you’d never bother to check), action figurines, games, physical music albums etc etc etc. it’s always person’s decision and person’s choice how to manage their earned money. and if this little purchase makes person happier and doesn’t harm anyone, and if I can provide this little piece of joy to someone while also making a living myself - why fucking not? it’s their choice, it’s their business. not yours. not mine either. it’s not my place to validate or invalidate the way other adult people manage their income. my place and my only responsibility - is to make sure that I myself have money to pay my rent and bills, to buy my meds, antidepressants included, and food, to visit a doctor, to prepare to my gallbladder removal surgery, to manage my iron deficiency anemia. to survive. and to fulfill my dream.

and it’s not your place to judge me and the ways I make a living,

Monsieur Privileged Anon the Cowardly.

(1/2)Hello, may I ask for an event matchup?(Btw congrats!) I am a quiet, aloof and a bit socially awkward and shy girl, whom is actually a bit more open in the Internet than irl. Although I am quite polite and respectful, I can be passive-agressive towards the people I dislike, but I am not a person to confront someone openly and start an arguement... When I get closer to a person, I begin opening up more and sometimes I like to playfully joke and make puns, though they may be cringe

(2/2)I have a hard time standing up for myself and I really dislike provocators and any kinds of trolls (though despite of that Floyd is one of my favorite characters, hehe). I am rather passive and lazy, actually I just lay down on my bed quite a lot during a day, but there is one more reason for that: I have kyphoscoliosis and I have back pains because of that, also I slouch and I feel kinda self-conscious a bit. My hobbies include gaming, listening to music and doing diamond paintings

Event Closed

I match you with Trey Clover.

Imagine two passive aggressive polite people teaming up. Ooh, chills. You two are a dynamic duo, both of you making everyone think you're chill until suddenly you're not.

This man's muscles, combined with his dough kneading skills…there is no world where he wouldn't be good at giving massages. He doesn't mind you laying in bed because of back pain, and will even offer you massages that make any sore muscles feel incredibly good and incredibly relaxed. Obviously, this doesn't fix your back pain, but anything he can do to relieve it, he will.

Oh the joy of puns! The two of you are masters in the art of the dad joke, and both of you are laughing like fools whenever you are together. All I can think of is the two of you baking and the kitchen is filled with your laughs and his snorts over a stupid baking pun.

He'll protect you from trolls. Well, he won't "protect" you, but he'll avenge you. He doesn't really confront people either…but if someone who hurt you or made you angry wants to ensure that their food stops tasting like sardines, they had better apologize and swear on their lives to never bother you or your loved ones ever again.

He's gonna be putting your paintings in his room, and in his family's bakery, when he takes over. He's not super artsy outside of food, so he loves to show off your stuff. He's super fascinated by it, too. He likes to just watch you work on a piece for hours. The way your hands move, the way your eyes look as you focus….ah he's so in love.

"I'm not sure I'm doing this right."

You'd been trying to teach your boyfriend how to play video games, something he never really had time or interest for before, until he started dating you.

You'd started him on an animal crossing like game. Something peaceful and simple, that shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Trey seemed completely lost, and had been walking in a circle for about five minutes before turning to you in distress.

"It's okay, we can try something else. Maybe a shooting game? It's got less controls to learn," you offered, pretty sure he was going to turn that option down quickly.

"Not many controls, huh? Okay, let's try it."

…

You were definitely worried. Your boyfriend seemed blood thirsty. Ready to shoot anything that moved, with perfect aim. He'd even taken down the elusive Gloomy Samurai, who'd spammed the chat with obscenities before getting timed out.

"I'm just not very hot blooded," your boyfriend said calmly after he was finally taken out, shrugging his shoulders and giving a tired smile.

"I think we should take a break from this game," you said, gently taking the remote from his tight grasp .

"If you really think so," he said with a sigh, as you turned back on the peaceful game from earlier, and threw out the shooter. 

"Um, is there anything you need to talk about?" You asked.

"No, why?"

"No reason," you said with a nervous laugh, as he started walking in a circle again. 

Howdy hey I'm interested in trying the match-up event. I always enjoy reading the things y'all've written.

Apologies in advance if this is a mess. 1. Identity: I am nonbinary, use they/them and she/her pronouns. I'm bisexual and a bit on the demisexual side.

2. Who I like: I'm cool with either the papas or ghouls

3. What I look like: I'm 5'8" and chubby. I'm pretty strong and got some muscle so I'm built perfect for giving big hugs and cuddles (though it'll take a bit of convincing to get me cuddly). At the moment my hair is dyed bright red but it changes colors often. Both my eyes have sectoral heterochromia and are green with a bright blue chunk. I usually wear all black graphic tees, skinny jeans, boots, and fun colored socks that often show because i never find pants that are long enough in my size lol.

4. My personality: I am introverted but enjoy being around others even if it wears me out. I'm good with kids (I'm a human jungle gym at this point) and people tend to tell me their secrets and find it easy to be open/themselves around me. I'd say i'm pretty smart but I will do stupid things just because i'm curious. Folks i'm comfortable around will never hear the end of my current interests and I'm a complete goofball (I've been banned from being funny at the table because i've caused too many people to choke laughing oops). It takes a while to actually get to know me deeply because I keep things close to my chest and dont open up easily. I've got a lot of anxiety and some baggage that I keep hidden but I'm working on I swear. I can get really competitive over trivial things and can turn anything into a game. I sometimes go MIA when im distracted with whatever the hell i'm into at that time but when I reappear there's always something new to share. (I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about pipe organs!)

5. Interests: I've got the adhd so my interests bounce around a lot. I like making things and I mess around with a lot with different crafts. I do a lot of fiber arts stuff and I've also recently been whittling bears (I have a few around somewhere). I love music both listening and playing it. I play 8 instruments (violin, viola, cello, mandolin, ukulele, trumpet, trombone, and french horn) but I'm best with the violin because i've been playing it for around 17 years. I'm also teaching myself accordion and guitar. I play video games sometimes and I especially enjoy getting 100% completion. In general I love learning anything and everything and am a "jack of many trades but master of none"

6.Trivia: My favorite movie is fantasia 2000 and recently I completed my goal of performing every music piece in an orchestra (The Pines of Rome and the Firebird Suite are my favs). I collect knickknacks and random things I find and use them to decorate my spaces and I have a skeleton with a mustache in a wizard costume in the back seat of my car and its name is Todd. I also keep googly eyes in my bag just in case

This post is part of the 1000 followers match up event. Entries for the event are now closed.

Your match is...Swiss

You and Swiss quickly became friends, he's so excited by things and so enthusiastic that you got swept up in it all. He's charming and really sweet to you, so you started to fall for him. One day you were sitting outside, Swiss taking a large drag of his vape before he looks at you and grins. "I love ya, you know that right gorgeous one?" You blush and blurt out that you feel the same way. Swiss responds by biting your shoulder just under the collar of your t-shirt. "There now it's offical" he says so excited he's practically jumping up and down "you're my mate!"

Swiss adores your eyes, he thinks they are the most awesome thing ever, and so beautiful. He tells you this a lot.

Swiss adores how much of a goofball you are, he is too, and you spend a lot of time together both laughing so hard you end up tearing up.

If your anxeity is getting bad he will cuddle and do anythig he can to help. If things get too much and you seem sad he'll hold you. He will cuddle you as long as you need. Then he'll try and take your mind off things, anything to get you to laugh a little and smile. Swiss is chaos personified but one thing is constant for him, he loves you and is devoted to you.

Swiss can keep up with your changing interestests. Infact he loves it! This Ghoul enjoys chaos and jumping around from thing to thing, that keeps him occupied. Whatever you get into he'll throw himself into it completely with you.

He is fascinated by all the things you collect. He loves how varied they are and the skeleton with a moutache is his favourite. He was very excited when you whittled him a bear. You handed it to him and he just looked at it like 'woow this is awesome'. he keeps it in his room, pride of place.

He's more than happy to help you learn guitar, he gets so excited his tail starts swishing around. He passes you his guitar and sits behind you legs either side of you showing you a cord and then letting you practice. He'll kiss your neck or softly bite your shoulder every now and then. He'll rest his chin on your shoulder and watches. He smiles at how fast you are learning, his smile is gorgeous enough to make your heart melt for him, to forget completely what you were playing and you just smile back. Often this leads to you getting so distracted the guitar gets forgotten as he presses his lips to yours.

Hello! Could i get a bg3 matchup?

 I go by she/her and don’t have a gender preference. 

As for personality I am quite introverted and tend to love just chilling in my room. I do however open up around close friends and family where I can be loud, especially when talking about my interests.

As for hobbies I love digital art. I love digital illustration, making character models/art for game design, web design, graphics, and more. I love playing rpg video games, visual novels, otomes etc. I also love reading fantasy, classical literature, myths and folklore. As much as i enjoy spending time in my room with my hobbies, one of my favorite things to do is travel the world. I also love to bellydance to Arabic and Bollywood music. 

Likes: lil coffee shops, earl grey tea, chai, sushi, boba, purple, chokers, butterfly clips, people who value personal space

Dislikes: overly touchy people, suddenly deciding to switch plans, anything too crowded or loud

Id say my strengths are definitely my imagination and creativity. I tend to get lost in my head in made up worlds and use that for my art. Id also say that im quite good at being on top of things and will always finish all my work before play. 

For weaknesses its my pessimism. I get into ruts where sometimes all I see is a doom scenario. 

 Thats it! Thank You! 

Hi Danza, thank you for the request! Bellydancing sounds like such a fun, interesting hobby ! I had a friend who did some form of belly dancing before, too.

Taking into account you don't have a gender preference. I did some thinking on this one, and I decided to pair you wiiiith...

.

.

.

Karlach!

Now, hear me out. You say that you are mostly introverted, but you find it easier to open up when you're around loved ones - namely when you feel comfortable enough to talk about your interests.

Karlach as we know her is of course, the rambunctious, loud, cinnamon roll with the mouth of a truck driver - she's also very loveable and excitable, kind of like...almost puppy-behavior. In that same regard, she's fiercely loyal - so, Karlach is definitely dog-coded.

I think the two of you would make a good pair because personally I'm a sucker for those couples who balance the other out. You're quiet, she's not - you're introverted, she's not - but while you do have differences, you do have similarities.

If you're in a situation you don't entirely want to be in (i.e. the kind you just want to hole yourself up in your room), never fear, as Karlach will either help to physically remove you from the situation (whether it's coming up with a perfectly goofy excuse like, "Ah fuck. We left the uh...fireplace... on fire." Or, literally picking you up and physically removing you from said situation, literally (whichever your preference is, but I don't think so given you're not fond on touch). The two of you would probably have a "signal" or secret code word of some sort that you give each other for scenarios like this.

Either way, you can count on her to do all the talking so you don't have to, if that's what you'd prefer.

Regarding your weakness with pessimistic tendencies and thoughts, Karlach is an excellent comforter. If motivational words aren't really your thing (which she's great at. Maybe not the most eloquent but who cares? The girl can give a good fuckin' speech), she has plenty else to offer. Whether it's telling you stories or jokes to get you out of the rut, or offering the best hug you've ever received, she will be very empathetic to you during those times. She's there for you, even if you aren't in the mood to talk. Just don't shut her out completely, and she'll be there for you when you're ready.

With your hobbies, Karlach is your #1 listener. Whether you have a new idea for an art piece based off of something you'd conjured from your imagination and no one to share it with, welp, now you do - Karlach loves hearing what you have to say, and the best part: she listens. Not only that but I see her as more of a "visual" person so she would love to offer her own ideas if you're struggling putting something on paper. She gives a lot of, "What about this? How about trying this color?" suggestions to try and assist you.

Sort of the same when it comes to the books you read. I feel like she actually WOULDN'T be a big reader until she asks you about whatever you're reading at the time, and then she decides to give it a shot. Seeing as how you love it so much and it seems so important to you of course, naturally, she wants to at least attempt to read. Pretty soon you've created a monster, and she's throwing in some big words in between swears.

All that aside, I definitely see her as one who wants to travel the world with you, too. Making memories together and finding some silly souvenirs are great, but the best part of any trip is having spent more time together with you.

A relationship with her would be long, sweet, and caring.

show us the neopets! /lh (you don't have to if you don't want to)

Ahhh I'll do so happily!! I've been holding onto this ask because I needed a time where I could sit down and adequately screenshot everything. Warning for Neopets!! I'm probably going to use a lot of jargon that makes no sense to non-players, but that's just how it is. If you have any interest in more detailed explanations about wtf I'm talking about, I would check Youtube! There have been some great videos released in the past month outlining the mechanics of the game, the lore, recent events etc. Anyhow...

This is my Gelert, Lightning (misspelled as "Lighting" because little kid me couldn't spell). He is the very first pet I ever created. I might update his paint job soon to something more exciting, but I also like the simplicity. His petpet (recently painted Spring) is named after my IRL dog. I love them both.

This is Butters, my second oldest pet. Idk what I was thinking when I was naming him. Actually no, I do - my little kid self was edgy. But I can't ever part with him because he's from my childhood. I somehow managed to transfer him (along with Lighting) across two accounts without losing him, he is a relic. That won't be his permanent petpet either. I'm still figuring that one out 🤔

And here we are veering at least slightly on topic - my Lupe, Murdoc. Or Murdocs, since the actual "Murdoc" name was taken. I made him after a long hiatus from the site when I returned briefly (only to leave again up until now). If I truly wanted to commit to making a pet that represents Murdoc, I probably should have chosen a bug or reptilian species...but I don't want a bug or reptilian species ever. His petpet is a reference to the yak he got 2D during P5 fkadlfa. I'd like to ultimately find him one that looks like The Evangelist, but the petpet i have in mind is like, 10 million neopoints, or something insane like that. And I can't get him Cortez. Why, you might ask? Well...

This is Sanemi. His character has been a wolf in canon, but since I already had Murdoc, I opted for a cat instead, which I think is also fitting. He's typically associated with the colors green, white, and black, but his eyes are purple, so Wraith it was. The leaves are probably as close as I'll get to creating a "wind breathing" effect, and I'm working on finding him an appropriate sword (it's not going well jkadal). He has a few pets, but the only named one is his crow, Sorai. I don't want doubles anywhere if I can help it, so no Cortez for Murdoc.

This is Sansa, named for Sansa Stark from ASoIaF/Game of Thrones. Her petpet is Lady, named after her late direwolf (RIP). I couldn't not have a GOT reference somewhere, and I also love Woodland Unis.

This is Rusalka, named after my current favorite song by the Decemberists. I'm probably going to change her color to faerie soon-ish, despite the fact that I chose Maraquan in the first place because of the song and name reference. But they're bringing back the original Faerie Neopet art sometime this year, and I love the way faerie Ixis look, and I always wanted one when I was younger (I was too poor back then).

This is my second-newest pet, Kacchan. He's a Kacheek (Get it? Kacchan, Kacheek lmao). I finally settled on how I wanted my Bakugou pet to look. I still have to get him a few more accessories, namely a mask and a glitter effect, because in case you didn't know, canon Bakugou is literally sparkling right now. I also intend to change his petpet. The one he has now is just filler until I can save up for the paint brush I need.

And this is my brand new pet, 2Doc! Sjfkaldfj. I outsmarted the system - "2Doc" might have been taken, but Twodoc was not. She isn't staying that color, might not be staying that species, and definitely won't be keeping that petpet. She's currently call a "lab rat." It'll take to long to fully explain, but basically, if you collect a certain amount of map pieces, you can unlock the secret lab ray where you can zap your pet once a day. It's completely random and can changes species, color, gender, and stats. I plan on zapping her until it feels right, but I kinda want her to be zap Burlap or Plushie atm. We'll see what happens! In this specific pet's case, it's more about having the name than having an accurate customization.

And finally, this is my Giyuu/Sanemi pet. There aren't really a lot of references here, I again mainly thought it would be funny to have a pet named after a ship, and I created him at a time when I didn't think a 2Doc pet was obtainable. And if we're being completely honest, this ship is better than 2Doc anyways. I also love Plushie pets and the fact that most people probably wouldn't be able to tell that he has a ship name just from looking at the collection of letters. It's stealth lmao.

So, notably missing from this list is a Succession inspired pet. I more than anyone, want, no need to make a Succession pet soon, but the species I have in mind is limited addition, and can only be created on their specific day (the anniversary of the day they were first released). So unless I want to blow through half of my life savings (in neopoints, not actual money), I have to wait until April. Which rn, is what I'm doing unless I'm very fortunate in my dailies or weekly prize.

Anyhow, those are my pets so far!

Talk Hockey to Me

(a game of tags)

i was tagged by @starscelly tysm king i give you a respectable high five

1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey

the second game i went to! the first one was good for sure (we got the fun lil borgy and matty christmas tree video during one of the breaks) but the second one!! i actually looked into stuff and it was everything ig you’d want from a game? my team won, we had some fun lil fights idk.. and then afterwards i stumbled upon rpf which. game changer lowkey (i read several fics having no idea what any of the people i was reading about looked like which was fun but we figured it out)

2. Your first ever fandom friend

i think probably cel tbf? and i have an irl friend who’s into hockey but i think there’s a strong chance they’re more normal about it than i am

3. The jersey you would most like to own

oooof tough question. either a stars jersey or a devils jersey i think. i’m hesitant to get one that’s a specific player’s bc i don’t want to have one for a team that they get traded from (looks pointedly at my several month-old un-customized kraken jersey) the ever changing world of sportssss

4. YOUR player (you only get ONE so choose wisely)

i am not choosing. you cannot make me. (it changes too often)

5. A pairing that deserves more fic

rn my answer is cyork/tfoerster but a week ago my answer was probably 2339 and two weeks ago my answer was probably 1053 and before that it was probably 2072 and before that it was probably scasey/gbrindley and before that it was probably nmoyle/nblankenburg and before that… (i’m stopping now but i could go on)

6. Your favorite on ice moment

oh gosh… i don’t really think i have a particular answer! i’m a cellies girlie who enjoys when the little men hit each other so. if any of my blorbos have ever done any of that sort of thing that can be my favorite (yes this a very general answer no i don’t care) actually maybe slaf’s first goal celly that wasn’t a celly so much as it was him cursing at zach brown ((?)i think that was who it was)

~link someone else’s art/fic/etc that you love and think everyone should check out~

i have yet to figure out how to link things so instead i will give you names and authors and you will take them. okay? okay.

still burnt from kissing your face by teethtilt (1053 fic with THE most delectable descriptions… i have never been more engaged by snow cones and swelteringly warm days)

tumblr user @/starscelly’s band au. (special shout-out to his one piece where wyatt is sat at a merch stand with the best body language you’ve ever seen)

on the banks of kettle creek by honeydripping (tknp fic that is soooo yummy. the way the author describes smells? ooof you don’t even know)

two thousand miles away, but i can see you by lovethygoalie (kraken magic fic that is very fun. gobbling up the way the author writes dynamics)

after hours by kerfluffle (cam/tyson fic that is very yay. if there is next to nothing in their tag at least we have the works of kerfluffle who is fantastic)

cool summers by counthestars (rule63 umich fic that has my heart. it literally feels like summer in my brain and i’m obsessed)

any xhekuraj fic by novembrs (loveee their trans arber fics never not thinking about them)

this was probably too many and i could go on! but it’s my response to an ask game and i do what i want

~link something you made and are proud of/want people to see~

again drk how to link things but my art tag is ‘me and my knack of making people look ~almost~ right’ or something like that and i also like my dream tag (vcug’s hockey dreams) just bc it’s fun. not really proud of it i just enjoy how my subconscious produces absolute bullshit

tagging @spiceberrie but no pressure if you don’t want to do this!

Welp. I’ve been wanting to post one of these for a while but I guess now’s a good a time as ever:

May I present

A List of Youtube Channels I Would Recommend (Subject to Change Seeing As Ain’t Nobody Loyal Apparently But Whatevs!!!!)

Kennie JD: A reviewer of things from dating shows a la Love is Blind to Tubi movies to Filipino movies, etc. offering some very thoughtful commentary. All while putting her makeup on 😘 Best known for her Bad Movies and a Beat series but really everything she puts out hits. Including her video on the Try Guys Incident.

Athena P: Yet another reviewer with insane makeup, but this one takes the tv shows from childhood and explores the “lore” suggested or outright shown. Absolutely hilarious in her delivery and her fans are called Butt-Lovers! 🍑💥🫲🏻

Studson Studio: A craft-tuber who makes fantastical builds ranging from a recreation of Howl’s Moving Castle from trash to a custom action-figure of Ganondorf from Tears of the Kingdom. Frankly it’s astounding how this guy can just look at a piece of supposed garbage and know exactly what to do with it! (Here’s an idea for a drinking game: Take a sip every time he uses a horseshoe! [You will die💖])

North of the Border: Another craft-tuber but with slightly more…distinct tastes… The mans be making some cursed content is what I’m saying. Creative and bold, but cursed. Beware any uploads that have “realistic” in the title.

OwONekko: An art YouTuber with brutal (and hilarious) thoughts about some of your favorite characters’ designs. She tends to veer towards redesigns like with the fusions from Steven Universe, and designing human forms for non-human characters such as the Heeler family from Bluey

Truegreen7: A popular Pokétuber with a host of playlists and prompts to choose from! Perhaps his most popular being when he invites other artists to a challenge where they are given a prompt and are meant to create a Pokémon from it. However, he also had videos where he has friends randomly pick traits and he makes a Pokémon from them, or he gives himself a prompt such as Pokémon based off his own fears. Always a pleasure when he uploads!!

Microwave Society: Three friends who get together and review…things. Usually it’s movies, especially ones from childhood. Sometimes it’s products from, like, Temu. Either way, they’re going through A Time so you can have a good time.

Razzle: Also a group of friends getting together to review movies. Sometimes they even act out entire scripts to movies. What makes them different from MS, however, is…Well, they drink while doing it. Which lends itself to sone absolute bangers of jokes and quotes.

Pidgin Doll: Admittedly I mostly just watch his Shorts. But in my defense, even those are wonderful to watch. His doll designs and paint marker drawings are gorgeous and unique with their fashions and makeup, and almost every video comes with a little tidbit about either his childhood, his art journey, or just whatever inspired him to create what he did.

Something Wicked: A craft-tuber who makes clay models based off of illustrations from old works and texts. And I mean, like, creatures from alchemical tomes; beasts from 17th century logs; face-butted devils and the sort. He doesn’t have much uploaded so far (admittedly only four at the time of this posting, but that’s because the amount of time, care, and detail he puts into each piece deserves it. Plus you get a nifty lesson in art history or just history in general as he goes into the design choices!

The Harry Gold Show: Welcome to The Harry Gold Show, hosted by the ever forthcoming Harry Gold! He’s…disturbingly good at what he does. And what does he do? Art. Of varying mediums and designs, though mostly digital. Though he has recreated the art style of a dead artist as a gift for his dad. Let me put it this way: There’s a reason some joke that he will give AI a run for its money when it comes to replicating styles (he even did a video putting that to the test!)

Dollightful: This cutesy custom doll-maker has a whole host of “dollightful” designs to observe! From a series based on dragon girls to rainbow girls to a vampire with great taste in art, you’ll always be left cooing over the cuties.

HeXtian: Where Dollightful’s dolls are cute, HeXtian’s dolls are sexy. Complete with snatched waists and (usually) red-bottomed heels, his dolls are ready to to show up and show out and make you wish you could dress like them.

30* Day Fictionkind Challenge (but in one post)

[Link to the original list]

All of the questions and answers will be below the cut since it'd be too long otherwise.

*Some days are skipped because either I haven't experienced it, I can't think of a relevant example, or I don't remember.

Day 1: What is your fictotype? Are you a specific character, a nonhuman species, or both? My fictotype is Beastpup, Pup for short, a monster wolf from UT (the game not, Utah lol).

Day 3: Who are you open about it with? I'm pretty open about it in online spaces, but not anywhere offline.

Day 4: Do you participate in the fandom of your source? How do you do so? I write fanfiction, but other than that no, aside from research purposes since I'm working on a fandom retrospective video. Day 5: Do you fictionflicker? Technically yes by definition, but I don't call it that. "Experience taking" maybe, but I'm not even 100% sure that's the right word.

Day 6: When did you realize you were fictionkin? How long have you been in the community? My fictotype didn't exist until around 2020, so about that long.

Day 11: Have you ever met other fictionkin? In real life or online? Online I've met plenty, but offline no.

Day 15: How do you deal with kin-for-fun? Individually I don't, since they usually don't listen/don't care and possibly throw around some ableist rhetoric for added flavor. I just try my best to inform in general that KFF and fictionkin are not the same.

Day 16: What are your thoughts on symbols, flags, etc.? Personally they feel overdone and I just sort of consider them spam. I've set up my filters to just block flags/symbols/coining posts or blogs entirely.

Day 17: Does fictionkinity connect to spirituality for you? It's heavily involved in my metaphysical experiences, and tangentially related to my rituals.

Day 20: How do you express your fictotype? Clothes, merch, cosplay, maybe even name? I have a Beastpup fursuit I made that I always wear to cons!

Day 21: What’s something about the fictionkind community that you wish was different? I wish it was more friendly towards fictionkin that aren't an existing/canon/AU character. Usually we get ignored in fictionkin spaces since people seem to only be interested in canon-relevant stuff and canonmates. I have lots to say about the world of my source, but not specific characters since I'm way older lol. In the time period I remember the most, a majority of the cast was either a baby or just not alive yet.

Day 23: How do you approach consuming your source? Analytically, obsessively, casually, reluctantly, etc… Analytically currently. See Day #4.

Day 27: What are some other characters/species that remind you of your fictotype? Beastpup's fur pattern is a black-phased wolf, just like my wolf kintype. I've also had a handful of people think I was a trico, but I don't see the resemblance tbh.

Day 28: Do you have a favorite piece of fanart? (Better to reblog for this day, do not repost someone’s art.) Not fanart technically, but I think my all-time fav is this shopkeeper edit I made a while ago:

Day 30: Talk about what it’s like to be your fictotype. I didn't want to leave out this one since it's question #30, but I'm not sure if I can describe it well. With my alterhumanity in general, I experience shifts in the sense that I more or less always feel like my kintypes (to the point where I don't use shifting terminology since it doesn't feel like it makes sense). Circling back around to Beastpup, that's the version of myself that my bodymap matches most often, it's what my brain defaults to when I'm not looking in a mirror. I also experience source homesickness sometimes.

hi beloved <3 art asks hehe

10, 14, 20, 21, and 30 (sorry ik the last one is evil but all ur art deserves to be valued)

hiiiiii bestie <333 thank u for sending me ask hehe

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

mmmmm great question! its definitely NOT shoes. i think its actually flowy dresses/skirts which is hilarious bc i barely ever draw them. i should do that more actually. ....well-

14. Any favorite motifs

i am a Big fan of high contrast/analogous colors with one bright accent color! idk if that counts as a motif tbh. i think not idk what im talking about. um i really like waves and pinstripes i think that counts??

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

i struggle with everything tbh but i guess maybe full frontal portraits?? hands can go either way, sometimes i'm down with it sometimes i'm like this is the worst thing ive ever made. but yeah for some reason full frontal is relatively natural for me, not the most dynamic thing in the world but i'll take it lol

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

considering my art style is extremely one note. there are many! i Love that gorgeous video game looking art style like hades and i love animated styles like studio ghibli, i love when people can cartoon and look at the features of something and enhance them in a way that feels so right, i wish i could play with proportions like that so much. this question is so funny. "i like anyways". as if i want and choose to draw like this.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

i hate this question bc i don't think my art should be rated anything i don't expect anything from anyone in relation to my art but i guess if i had to choose maybe my hayley williams drawing? j bc i think she's pretty and i highkey didn't expect to finish her. idk that i would say underrated but thats my pick ig adhgjdkgs

Every year my fiancé and I review what we watched, read, or played over the year. It's our little content catalogue, so I figured why not share some of the best things of 2022 we went though and if any of you are interested to go and check them out! Starting with movies, we watched a ton this year but these are probably my favorite 4 of the year: Everything Everywhere is a super unique movie that stands as my movie of the year. It does everything so well. RRR is a bombastic bollywood movie that depicts the greatest bromance I've ever seen. It's wild from start to finish and my runner up for the year. The Batman stands tall in an over-saturated genre of super hero movies. It has an artistic vision that feels lost in other super hero movies today. The Exorcist isn't new exactly but it's new to me and it really is as timeless as it has been. It's an interesting perspective dealing with the questioning of faith and what it can do to people.

Shows! No shock I watch mostly animated things and these are my top 4 among them: Morel Orel is just...so...difficult to describe. It's pure dark comedy but over the show's lifespan it evolves into a dark, deep character driven show about the roots of desire and sin. That and it has probably one of the most accurate depictions of an alcoholic abuser father I've ever seen. Primal. Pure art. Genndy, known for Samurai Jack and Powerpuff Girls, takes us to a pre-historic world with no voices. The show is carried by visuals and letting you feel every snapping stick in it's environment. While Orel is my show of the year, I can't stress enough how amazing Primal is too. Jojo in general. I finished Part 4, 5, and 6 this year but throughout ALL of Jojo, nothing beats Part 4. The small hometown with a small cast is just candy to me, but add in that strange Jojo sauce and MWAH. Love it. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared the TV show. You remember that web series from like 5 years ago? Well it got a show and it's just as dark and funny as before.

Video Gaming. I usually play the same games over and over so this year I made it my goal to only play new games to me. I did a pretty good job but didn't have as much time to play things as previous years, but here are my top 4: Yu-Gi-Oh. Guys, it's time to come clean. I'm an addict. This year I sunk so much time into yu-gi-oh. The physical game sure, but also Master Duel. This isn't my game of the year but I can't express the games I played this year without talking about my biggest time-sink... Chrono Trigger. It was my first time going through it and man I just love RPGs so much. It's perfect what do you want me to say? You either already know or haven't played it yet. Go play it. It's blows my mind what they were able to do on the SNES because some things in this game are better done here than in games TODAY. HOW!? Kirby and the Forgotten Land is just cute. It's Kirby. It's easy, simple, but sometimes a relaxing game is just as good as a hard as nails one. I just like vibing with Kirb and this is probably his best game in years. Pokemon Arceus was a crazy surprise. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Scarlet and Violet just came out and they're good but not as good as Arceus, which is weird, cause Arceus feels like a tech demo for Scarlet and Violet. Either way, this was a great time and throwing balls at monsters never felt as fun as it did here.

And that's my rant for things. Reading? I don't read enough tbh and I want to try to read more this year. I read One Piece like come on. Either way I'll disappear back into the void now and continue to make AND enjoy as much content as I can! Happy New Year!!

(No worries XD) *cracks knuckles*

Blankets - sweaters or fuzzy blankets?

Oooh, honestly kinda hard. I do love my sweater, but going to bed in the winter wouldn't be the same without my fuzzy blanket, hhhhh. I might go with fuzzy blankets, lol

Bundled - describe your ideal date.

Interesting one o//3//o (I can feel the pressure of my boyfriend seeing this later XD) I haven't really dreamed up specific dates before but I like the idea of going out for ice cream, lol. We could get two different flavors, and then share a taste u//w//u Maybe walk around a park or something holding our cones in one hand, and each other's hand in the other, talking about anything. Find a cozy spot and watch the sunset. If it's not too long of a date, dancing under the stars later that night would be really nice too >//>👉👈💜

Candy Corn - what's your favorite candy?

Reeses Pieces :D

Crow - what's an unpopular opinion you have on autumn?

Hmm... Halloween isn't the best holiday that ever existed? :p

Comfy - plaid shirts or demin jackets?

Plaid shirts babeyyyyyyy

Costume - do you like to dress up for Halloween? Do you have a go to costume?

I don't celebrate Halloween XD

Cozy - describe your ideal fall day.

It's a bit chilly, but not frigid. Leaves are crumchy under my feet. I see the wind pick them up now and again - some dance circles in the street, others snow down from the trees. I bake bread or cookies inside. Is a fun day :3

Evergreen - do you like Christmas trees?

YEEEEE

Fresh Air - what's something you're thankful right now?

The turkeys that God plopped on the road next to our house XD (I don't think I mentioned it here before but last week, we found 3 turkeys wandering around outside, caught them, and now have them in our coop lmbo)

Halloween - what's your favorite Halloween tradition?

Still don't have one ;p

Holidays - do you prefer Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas?

Christmaaaassss

Intricate - what's a subject you have random knowledge about?

I'm tryna think of something that wouldn't be obviously relevant to me.. (such as something art or farm related :p) Uh... I know what the plastic tip on a shoelace is called? XD;;; Oh, and I know what an alula feather is, lmbo

Maze - apple picking or pumpkin patch?

Ooooh.... Being in a pumpkin patch would be so fun, but picking apples would be more fun than picking pumpkins XD I'll go with apple picking, lol :3

Pie - what's your favorite type of pie?

I might have to say chocolate actually XD (As much as I also love pumpkin, apple, and coconut cream X3)

Potpourri - tell us something random about you.

Uhhh.... I don't shave my legs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quiet - how do you relax?

That's a good question >>;; I don't often take time to deliberately relax, but I guess when I really need to, I'll chill on my bed and watch youtube or scroll through tumblr or something o3o One time recently when I was really upset, I played A Short Hike, which quickly became my new favorite comfort game lol

Sweaters - what's your go to fall outfit?

Short sleeved shirt over long sleeved shirt, sweatpants, either my sweater or a plaid shirt on top lol

Scary - what's your favorite scary movie?

I don't really have one o3o;; Not much of a Scary Movie person, lol (But if you'll count youtube videos, I like the Chzo Mythos series by Lucahjin XD)

Syrup - waffles or pancakes?

Pancakes all the way

Trains - if you could spend the fall anywhere, where would you go?

Ooooh.. tbh, maybe anywhere that the leaves change color lol. October in Kansas was nice :3 I have some fond autumn memories of North Carolina as well..

Ultimate - describe your best holiday experience.

(Why is this one called ultimate XD) My favorite Christmas was the one where my siblings and I received bookmarks as gifts. My family was really poor that year and couldn't afford anything, so Mom had us pick out one ball each from her stash of very special Egyptian cotton thread. Then she crocheted us each bookmarks made of that thread, with a heart in the middle of them. (And the colors were beautiful btw, I got a very spring themed green/pink/etc one) She felt horrible that it was the best she could do but I still cherish my bookmark. Aside from that, that was also the year I started watching Gravity Falls with the fam. (I watched it in private with my sister beforehand so we were already way into it, lol.) A relative gifted us a dvd with some of the episodes on it, so Mom said to go ahead and put it on. The first episode was Double Dipper, which everyone loved. So we honestly had a blast :3 That was one of my favorite Christmases.

Yule - what's one wish you have for this holiday season?

I wish I could spend it with my boyfriend 👉👈 Don't know if we'll be able to but, that is my wish lol

Zeal - what is something you go all out for?

I would say Christmas but we slack some years, lmboo. Hmm, maybe Thanksgiving or New Years Eve? o3o

Thanks for the ask! :3

survey #007

(from last night; tumblr was being an ass and wouldn’t let me post, rip)

What was the last thing you laughed at? Something Girt said, I'm certain. He's a goof. Do you know anyone personally who has committed murder? No. Do you use temper glass phone screen protectors? No. Have you ever cracked your phone screen badly?No. Would you ever take up pole dancing as a hobby? No, not even if I had a body I was comfortable with. It's beautiful, though. What do you do when you start to feel depressed or really down? Most often I'll try to watch something funny or anything that's like a "comfort" thing for me, like a certain let's play or just video in general. Do you do positive affirmations daily? No. Do you enjoy glitter or find it to be a nuisance? Both. Would you ever want to be a politician? Absolutely not. Have you ever seen a wolf in person? At the zoo, yes. They were always WAY in the back though, in the shade. If my memory serves me right, they're actually the nearly extinct red wolves and are therefore immensely rare, which makes me just wanna get a good look at them more. Are you currently doing something else besides this survey? I'm listening to music. What’s the fastest you’ve ever driven? Idk, not too fast. When I did drive, Mom would freak out if I went like two over the speed limit. Do you play games on your phone? Occasionally, but not a whole lot. I do try to get my daily Pokemon GO spawn, though. Only one is set to spawn over my house every day, cries. Would you rather do without sweet or salty snacks? Salty, I think. But both are great, so this question sucks. Do you enjoy buying gifts for others? I absolutely would if I had money TO buy people gifts. Fucking sucks, mine and my boyfriend's anniversary isn't that far away and I already worry I'm not going to be able to get him anything. I would sob, I already couldn't get him shit for his birthday, Christmas. or Valentine's Day. Wow I fucking suck. Is acting something you’d enjoy? Are you convincing? No, I'm way too awkward about it. I've only acted well once in my life, when me, my sister, and two of our friends were volunteering at a haunted hayride-type thing and at one point I did this maniacal laugh from my hiding spot that no one believed was me lmaooo. Have you ever lost control of a car? ASLKJDFHAKWEJFOAWER NO DON'T SAY THAT What’s your thoughts on people having selfies as their phone backgrounds? ... I don't care...? It's not my preference for me, but like??? it's their phone??????????? I didn't realize people HAD opinions on this. What is your phone background of? My lock screen is my favorite piece of work by online artist NukeRooster, which I've been planning for years and years and years to get tatted one day on my upper left arm. It's there because one, #aesthetic, and two, I guess it's sorta motivational for me to see it regularly and work towards being able to afford such a tattoo. My home screen is some simple space art with a 3D red/blue texture. Are the Olympics something you get into? Not at all. What did you get your first award for? Idk, either something for academic excellence like honor roll or just participation stuff for childhood sports. Does it bother you when people use all caps or all lower case letters? All caps (except for reasonable, occasional emphasis), yes. All lower case doesn't bug me at all. Would you or have you ever dyed your hair blue? I never have and probably won't. Could you climb the monkey bars now like you did as a kid? No way in hell. I wasn't even good at those as a kid. Have you ever dyed your eyebrows to match your hair? No. What’s your favorite shower/bath product? Omg my friend/related-by-marriage family Summer got me this little Lush giftbox for Christmas, and while I've only used (and finished) the body wash, it was INCREDIBLE. Quality stuff and the smell was absolutely amazing. Also it had a really great color to it and it made me feel like a big ol' truck in a car wash using the colorful soap. :') When was the last time you looked out of a window? Literally just a second ago. The neighbor across the street got home, and I saw the car appear out of the corner of my eye so just naturally turned to look at the movement. How many stitches have you had in your lifetime? I've had to get stitches at least twice that I remember, but I don't recall exactly how many I needed. Have you suffered from depression? I was diagnosed with it around the 7th grade, and it's never left. I've just gotten better at coping. Do you like rap music? No. Do you have a favorite day of the week? No, they're all very much the same to me. How much money do you regularly spend on groceries? I'm not about to ask my mother that, it's not my business and I feel like shit I can't help with them anyway. Has anyone ever pinched you for not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day? Ugh, yes. I hate that shit. I have always been extremely sensitive to pinches, like I will actually bruise, doesn't matter how "gentle" you think you're being. Are there any bands you wish would get back together? Oh, I'm certain there are some that I'm just not thinking of right now. OH! Is Linkin Park actually still a... thing without Chester? I honestly don't think I want a singer that isn't him, he was too iconic, but I still miss their music. What are your favorite fast food restaurants? Some are Sonic, Bojangle's, Wendy's, and McDonald's (don't @ me shut up). How about least favorite? Arby's takes the fucking cake, that shit is so gross. I also don't like KFC, and Burger King isn't great. I also boycott Chick-fil-a as a business because they're homophobic + transpobic pieces of absolute garbage. I genuinely want their CEO to burn in hell. What kind of cereal did you have last? I had the chocolate chunk type of Special K for breakfast. Would you rather, on a dare, eat an insect or kiss a stranger? Eat an insect ig. I guess it would depend on like, what bug though. I don't want to do either, but kisses are a very "reserved for only who I love" sort of thing for me personally. What’s the last thing that made you feel sad? Ummm I dunno. Do you like spaghetti sauce or just butter and cheese over noodles? I strongly prefer sauce. What type of novels do you enjoy reading? Ones with a fantasy basis. Would you ever get your nose pierced? Yes, I want it repierced, actually. I'd prefer a stud, but those just have NOT worked for me as far as staying in my nose when I sleep on my damn face, so I'll be getting a hoop this time. so it won't come out and I lose it every morning. What was the last song you listened to? "Morgenstern" by Rammstein. Maybe one day I'll listen to more music than just them again lmaooo What do you think of having religion in schools? Optional course? Fine. But if it in ANY way infiltrates into mandatory curriculum? Fuck that. I'm looking at you, parents that get tilted over schools teaching evolution versus your bedtime stories relating to a pair of all conceivable animals fitting on a fucking ark and repopulating with such diversity. Have you ever accidentally sent a text to a person you were talking about? It's possible? Idr. Is there anything going to get released soon that you’re looking forward to? RE4 REMAKE NEXT MARCH BABYYYYYYY *sobbing emoji* Do you have a fan in the room you’re in? Yes. What’s something you wish you liked but you don’t? Vegetables, lol. Do you use a baby voice when talking to animals? Um, duh. Would you say your parents put too much pressure on you? No. My parents are very understanding of the limiting problems that I deal with. What’s for dinner today? I don't know. Not very worried about it, I'm not hungry whatsoever rn. What game did you play most as a kid? I played the HELL out of the original Spyro The Dragon trilogy PS1 games, especially the second and third. Do you like the scent of gasoline? Omg no, I loathe it. It gives me a headache. What’s something you’ve been made fun of for before? I REALLY do not want to think and linger on this question because of my hypersensitivity to rejection/judgment/this general vibe. What is something you need to work on? God, a lot. This is another I just don't wanna dwell on. What movie or show has scared you the most? The horror movie The Rite bc especially when you're a religious teenager and watch a movie where Satan rapes and impregnates an innocent woman, I mean, that's gonna fuck you up. Do you support the Supreme Court in trying to overturn Roe vs Wade? (banning all abortions in the USA) Nope, I'd like to burn their fucking building to the motherfucking ground. What’s the best gift anyone could give you? Covering the cost of a tattoo, haha. If you’re pale, do you get made fun of for it? Only by family in a very non-hurtful way. Are you white/black/asian/mexican/etc? I'm Caucasian. Did your family move to America from another country? Not my IMMEDIATE family, no. Ancestors, obviously. Ever known anyone who did business with a prostitute? Not that I'm aware of, no. Are your real parents divorced? If your parents are divorced, how old are your step-parents? Do you like your step-parents, or are they assholes? Yes; my mom has never really dated since, but my dad is re-married, and she's... well. Very Christian. She wouldn't even move in with my dad until they were married for religious reasons. She's nice and has always been kind and sweet to me, but being FB friends and knowing how she feels about many serious topics... oh god. Oh yeah, and I'm unsure about her exact age, but I know she's just a couple years younger than Dad. Were you adopted? If so, have you met your biological parents? How about biological siblings or grandparents? N/A [TW: ABUSE] Ever had an abusive parent or other family member? If so, what’s the worst they did? I'm very thankful that I don't. Got any step siblings? If so, how many? Are they annoying or cool? Dad's wife has one son named Michael, but I don't really see him as my "brother" like at all. He is super, super reclusive and even when I'm at the house, you don't see him much. I don't not like him, he's just like this one big walking question mark. Ever walked in on your parents while they were getting busy? If so, how many times and how old were you? LISTEN it's practically impossible for me to imagine my parents doing anything even remotely intimate ever and I'm satisfied with it that way. How many siblings do you have? How old are they, and what are their names? Do they have the same hair color and eye color as you? ... Oh wow, this reminded me today is actually my oldest sister's birthday, haha. Katie is now 30-... something. She is the literal spitting image of Mom, like you put them beside each other and the resemblence is fuckin scary lmao, so their features are the same, and in turn mostly similar to mine, I just have blue eyes while theirs are brown. Bobby is also in his 30s and might have blue eyes? Idk. I actually don't remember what his hair color even is since he's been mostly without hair for a long-ass time. I'm quite sure it's brown? Then Misty is 30-something too, and her hair is black with eyes a color I don't recall. Probably brown. Ashley (28) and Nicole (24) both have brown hair as well, ours all practically identical in color, and they have brown eyes. I don't know how Tiffany looks or how old she is, but older than Misty I know, so in her 30s. Ever had to take care of a baby sibling? If you did, did you feel responsible, or were you just annoyed? No; Nicole and I are too close in age for me to really do that. We were very close as kids though and played all the time together. Do you like children, or do they piss you off? "Piss me off" is a very strong phrase... I don't really like kids, and yet at the same time I do with their purity and innocence and always believing in what is good. They're just toomalleable for me. Like even with my nieces and nephew, I obsess over saying and doing things perfectly because I don't want to bend how they think or see things in a bad way. Children in general are also just fucking exhausting and require an amount of fuel I absolutely never have. Think you’ll ever have kids of your own one day? No. From the bottom of my heart I truly feel like me trying to be a mother would end with me killing myself. There are times I think I might want one or two, but it's just simply not smart. Have you ever had a close friend get knocked up early? II don't think so, no. I know that's a weird answer, but I to this day do not know if my very good friend in HS named Alon was the same girl who did have a baby in middle school. I remember them looking similar, but I just really don't know. I never asked her because it wasn't my business, and if it WAS her, I didn't want to stir up bad memories or anything. Have you yourself ever gotten close to getting pregnant? No. There was this short period where my good friend Anxiety had me freaking out that I MIGHT be because I missed my period that month, even though my dumb ass was a virgin (barely, but w/e). It was such a legitimate fear that even Jason knew, and on god I wish that man had called me insane lmao If you were to get pregnant as a teen, what would happen? Well, I was very pro-life then (I know, it nauseates me too), so ig I'd have a kid running around. Mom would've certainly helped out with raising it, probably a bit too much if I'm honest with y'all. It's questions like these that make me immensely happy I DID abstain from sex as a teenager because I was a fucking stupid and impulsive kid that would have to be in contact with the man associated with my trauma. Maybe I never would have healed. God, all that would be an ugly life. Do you know if anyone in your family ever got knocked up as a teen? I'm *pretty* sure Mom had Katie when she was 19? Maybe... For some reason that sounds right. Do you prefer baby boys or baby girls? Girls, generally.

INARIZAKI MANAGER HEADCANONS BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SM PLSS. With the reader (gn or fem) as a 2nd year (dragged by either atsumu or suna) and then they're actually a really good manager! ..till they get a new ninetendo switch (genshin impact or Minecraft lmao) and just somehow is able to listen and pay attention to their practices while playing video games. Kinda like kenma yknow yknow

Inarizaki x manager

You weren’t a particular fan of sports.

When it came to sports, you were never the most athletic, nor the strongest one, or the fastest one. In fact, most of your life, you were always picked last in P.E.

So of course it came as a surprise, when a close friend of yours told you to become team manager of a volleyball team.

Inarizaki was a powerhouse, known by many, fear by all. What the hell could you bring to the table?

Suna, who currently was part of said team and your friend as well, had come up with the idea and had been pestering you non stop.

Suna and you go way back. Met at some event, became childhood friends and that friendship blossomed when both of you entered the same high-school.

Although Suna acts mostly disinterest about everything and claims he is lazy, you’ve seen him dedicate everything of his being into the sport so you felt guilty saying no. In the end you ended signing as manager despite not knowing anything.

Turns out, you have a knack for it! Managing was like buying a new video game (at least in your opinion). You just break it down in small pieces. The players are the pieces and the court is your board.

The team instantly loves you. You were always so attentive.

You were always punctual and neat which Kita always appreciated.

You would iron Atsumu’s uniform before any game because you know he liked everything perfect.

You would always pick Osamu’s favorite lunch.

Would always give great motivational speeches to the first years.

Would always stay to help Aran for whatever he needed.

Simply too good to be true.

The team already knew you liked video games, so to say thanks for all your hard work, they ended up buying you a new Nintendo switch.

Mistake from their part.

Is not like you didn’t deserve it, it’s just that… your attention… well it started to drift.

You were still organized, still did all the things you were supposed to but like your freaking eyes were always on the screen. It was annoying, scary and quite impressive.

You might not be athletic but you could easily dodge spikes without even looking. The Nintendo gave you some weird power or something.

Like at games, you are playing but at the same time annotating their plays??!!!

Everyone would see your eyes shine bright when you would play so they didn’t want to tell you to stop but like the team started to compete for your attention.

Let’s just say that you became more affectionate towards the players and they would never ever gift you another set of video games.

Hope this is okay.

Could I have a request for upper demon moons with s/o gender neutral in a date in modern world ?

A/N: Here you go anon! I hope you enjoy these.

Kokushibo

I feel like he really enjoys quiet places

A day at the book store is usually you twos go to date

Just helping each other pick out books

Or finding really funny ones to make fun off

Another date you two go on regularly is to the park with your dog

Just watching you play fetch with her is enough to make Kokushibo laugh to himself

His favorite part about the walks though dont happen until the sun goes down

You two were walking hand in hand through the part

“Hey is something wrong?”

Your question caught him off guard. “Why would you say that love?”

“Well you keep checking your watch like somethings going to happen.”

Knowing you caught him he sighed leading you toward the tunnel of trees

As soon as the clock hit 9 the fairy lights in the tunnel turned on

“Oh so this is why you were in such a hurry.”

Pulling out his phone he put on a slow song and held out his hand

“May I?” “You may.”

And you two danced in the tunnel like you were the only people left on the planet

Doma

Did somebody say shopping?

He will buy you anything and everything

Oh you want that new book that your favorite author just dropped?

We’re picking it up right now

You want those shoes?

On it

Want the new video game that’s really hard to get?

Already in the bag

He absolutely loves to take you to buy clothes the most though

He pushes you out of your comfort zone in a good way

“Come on out darling. Let me see~”

“Doma I don’t know...”

“Nonsense. I bet you look amazing.”

After taking a deep breath you walked out of the changing room

“Look at yoooouuuuuu.” He squealed. “Do a turn for me won’t you.”

Rolling your eyes you complied to his wishes

“Ah you just look amazing. Yep we’re buying it.”

Yeah dates with Douma are a real confidence boost

Akaza

His dates are usually very chill

He’ll walk around town with you all day if he could

Doing whatever you wanted to do

But there is one time of year that is absolutely necessary for a date

And that my friends is fair time

You two wear matching outfits cause you’re that couple

He definitely makes it his mission to go on all the rides

Even the pirate ship

“Babe just one more time.”

You’ve had to pull him away from things more than once

You two were walking around having just got done eating when a certain clown started flying insults at your boyfriend

“Oh look at the big tough guy.” The clown teased

Of course Akaza ignored him cause he’s got self control like that😌

You two were walking away from the clown until he made a comment

“Oh I see you got a nice looking s/o with you. I would love to take them on a date.”

Yeah all self control out the window

Akaza walked straight up to the dunk booth and paid the vendor

“Come on big guy. Lemme take your lovely s/o on a date.”

Akaza smiled at the clown before hitting the target sending the other in the water

When Akaza came back you laughed

“Seems he got under your skin~”

“I can’t stand assholes like him.”

“Haha my hero.” You say giving him a kiss as a reward

Nakime

Dates with her are somewhat difficult

Don’t get her wrong, regardless of what you pick she’ll love it

But you really wish she would have some input sometimes

But that aside, stay home dates are more her style

Cuddling on the couch watching a movie, cooking together, self care nights?

The whole package

Absolutely loves when you play with her hair

Makes her soft

Lo-fi music played in the background as you typed away on your computer

Nakime, who just got out the shower, got behind you resting her head on your shoulder

“Rough day?” All she did was hum a yes

“You know what that means~” You turned around hugging her tightly

“Self care night!” She let out a soft chuckle at your antics

Hantengu

Like Kokushibo, his ideal date would be someplace quiet

But with less people

So he always has weird places to take you

There was this bookstore in this part of town very little people knew about

Or rooftop cafe that served your drinks in the strangest cups

Your favorite thing is when he find small events to take you to

“Sweetheart...I found this new cafe. Would you like to go with me?”

“Of course I will!”

The cafe was a little bigger than the ones you usually went to but not by much

There were plants everywhere, chairs were shaped like teacup mugs, and there were teddy bears of different sizes at each table

“Tengu this is adorable”

“It makes me happy you like it” He gave your hand a soft squeeze before deciding to head to the counter

Gyokko

He’d probably take you to an art museum

Since he himself is an artist he goes there to analyze insult the art pieces

“My art looks way better than whatever this is”

He said that about the Mona Lisa….THE MONA LISA

I actually see him to be a really respected artist in the art world

So he’s constantly being invited to art galleries

Of course he brings you along

Before you two met he went alone and got bored really quickly

None of the art truly caught his eye

But with you there?

He has the absolute time of his life

You two were staring at a painting

“...what is it supposed to be?” You asked tilting your head

“It’s fucking atrocious that’s what it is.”

You laughed at your boyfriend’s comment

The artist having overheard you two didn’t like the comments you were making

He was so fed up he went right up to your boyfriend

“You don’t know the first thing about art. How would you know what looks good?”

Already knowing where this was going you unhooked your arm from your boyfriend

“How would I know? Anyone with eyes can see that this doesn’t deserve to be here. These brush strokes aren’t even going the same way and you have the audacity to yell at me for not knowing anything about art?!”

(please know I know nothing about art so I’m sorry if I offended anyone🥲)

The artist having been embarrassed in front of everyone quickly exited the room

Gyokko wrapped his arm around your waist again smiling

“Ready to go love?”

Kaigaku

Dates with Kaigaku will either be super chill or chaotic

He once took you both to a rage room

It may or may not have ended with either of you crying

Another time he took you to paint pottery

It really depends on how he’s feeling that day

Tonight was going to be a chill night though

You two were laying on a mountain cuddled up on a blanket staring at the stars

“Babe look it’s orion.”

After a few seconds of him not saying anything you raised your brow “Babe?”

You looked over to see him staring at you

“Sorry I was just looking at the prettiest star ever”

You laughed at his horrible pickup line and pecked his forehead

“Thanks babe.”

Gyutaro

(ah the love of my life)

He’s not a guy who would take you to an extravagant restaurant or to walk around in a crowd

Unless that’s really want you want of course

Even then it would take a lot of convincing

You know that he doesn’t see himself that highly

(no baby you’re literally perfect please don’t talk down on yourself🥺)

He would much rather stay at his/your house and vibe

But if you REALLY REALLY want to go out he’ll arrange something

He has a spot he goes to that overlooks the city

It lets him forget his responsibilities for a while

Gyutaro: i’m outside get dressed

You raised your brow at the text but got dressed regardless

Outside he was waiting next to his motorcycle staring at the sky

“Sooo what’re we doing?”

“It’s a surprise. Here.”

He held out one of his hoodies and a helmet

You two drove for about 30 minutes before he stopped on a cliff

“We’re here.”

You walked up to the edge in awe

“Taro it’s….it’s amazing”

He hummed wrapping his arms around you resting his head on your shoulder

Yeah this is all he could ask for

Daki

Did someone say parties?

She 100% sees going to parties together as dates

I mean you get to see her in an amazing outfit

Who wouldn’t want to see that?

Now if this is your scene then there’s nothing to fix

If it’s not you’re going to have to explain that to her

You would probably take her to a flea market

Daki look around the building in utter disgust

“What the fuck? Why are we here?”

“Babe please just trust me.” You gave her a soft smile

Remembering this was supposed to be a 'date' she begrudgingly goes along with it

First you take her to the food section

She’s never seen food like this before so she’s a little hesitant

“...what is that?”

“It’s ox tail. Try it.” Hesitant she ate a piece and omg she absolutely loved it

You walk around some more until you get to the section with the perfume and jewelry

She’s absolutely amazed. They are so many different sizes with different colors.

“I want them all.”

“Babe no-”
