i kinda wish there was a way to gift away digitally purchased games when i'm done with them. i have a handful of games on steam that are one and done experiences, or are games i just didn't like much, and i'm not gonna play them anymore.
like, i'd gladly give away my license to use the game to someone else, like a friend of mine, if i could. You can let people borrow physical copies of games, so why not digitals?

au where atsushi gets hit w/ an ability and is in a coma and is fighting for his life
atsushi has a strong desire to live sure but also thinks that itd just be better (and that he deserves to) if he went and died in a ditch
becuz of this, so close to death, atsushi has little will to fight
mayhaps he's been feeling not good for a while but didnt realize how not good
anyway thats not important whats important is as per the ability he can still observe the world and the ppl he might leave as a ghost of sorts
he's floating around the hospital or following his friends, observing
he watches as kyouka cries holding his body's hand, begging him to fight, begging him to not leave and leave her alone - refusing to leave his side until someone has to take her away
he watches kenji try to pretend every things fine - reassuring anyone who'll listen that atsushi is strong - and talk to atsushi as if he's simply closing his eyes for a bit - seemingly in denial about everything
he watches junichiro alternate between trying to comfort everybody, trying to process everything and having fits of rage and hurt where he screams and yells and completely breaks down
he watches kunikida be there for anyone and everyone and try to continue as normally as he can but always being a little off - a little too slow, a little too tired - but still putting up a front until its just him and atsushi's body and he's apologizing for letting this happen begging atsushi to wake up
he watches dazai's face stay blank the entire time he's there only to drink more and more and get scarier and scarier - visit oda and ask the stone what to do - curse his own ability for not stopping the ability thats hurting atsushi - being too scared to go anywhere near atsushi in the fear that atsushi's regenerational abilities will stop working and he'll hurt even more
he watches ranpo put up a strong face - take on more cases - find the ability user quickly but be unable to find any other way for atsushi to get better other than just getting better - he knows theres no way but still he pushes it becuz there has to be but even the ability user breaks down in a session w/ him and dazai and admits there isnt but there has to be
he watches yosano try and heal him over and over - through her ability and her actual knowledge in being a doctor - watches her stay by his side through everything - there to fix any small inconvenience he may have like a too bright room or a non fluffy pillow, waiting, obsessively checking his vitals
he watches the president hold everyone together - keep the ada floating and offering support to anyone who wants it - watches his face grow more and more tired as he waits - as they all wait - watches him visit atsushi's body and give him updates on whats happening, waiting
he watches naomi fill his room with gifts, keeping a bright smile on her face whenever she enters only for it to drop the second she's far away enough so that when he wakes up he cant see it
watches the clerks take turns visiting him w/ gifts and encouragement, helping the president hold down the agency, while trying to be strong
watches lucy spill hot tea on her hands because she's worrying about him again - watches her get upset and angry when anyone so as much hints that atsushi won't get up - watches her talk to him and try to convince him to wake up
and atsushi grieves becuz of his own lack of understanding on how loved he has become
akutagawa doesn't falter when he learns about atsushi and atsushi kind of wishes he did - when he sees atsushi he doesn't blink or react, simply nods and leaves - and atsushi feels strange at having confirmation that he does not matter much to him - sometimes akutagawa visits - not always and never in a pattern - random and quick visits where he only watches atsushi for a moment before leaving - in the end, atsushi follows him becuz watching the ada and lucy gets too hard - he expects akutagawa to go about his day, atsushi in the back of his mind - maybe a little concern for him as his partner but nothing to fret about
atsushi spends his day with akutagawa wishing he could reach out and touch him and hold im as he watches one of the strongest people he knows give in to their grief and fall apart, with no agency members to see him, no friend there to see what akutagawa surely calls his weakness, only him, atsushi's ghost, and gin's hurried footsteps as she comes home
anyway

D'you think red son has "icks" or nah, if yes which do you headcanon him to have?
Sorry this took so long, I genuinely wasn't sure how to answer. From what I read, icks are things that make someone less attractive/desirable, right? (I genuinely didn't know what an ick was before this ask, I've heard the term before but I never really understood it, which is why this took so long to answer)
Okay, here's a list of things I came up with, they aren't very much though.
If his partner:
• Has poor hygiene or grooming habits; Redson is a prince, he has expectations set for himself and his partner, now this doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be tidy or dressed up 24/7 but they do have to meet a certain standard. He would definitely worry about Wukong's poor hygiene/grooming habits rubbing off on MK.
• Is disrespectful or rude towards him or others; He knows that MK is a nice person but that doesn't mean he's had other suitors who acted the same, he's definitely met some rude people in the past who were trying to win his hand, but their poor manners towards both him and the people around him (for example, his parents, even if they were never rude to his parents' faces) easily turned him away from their romantic advances.
• Is arrogant or self-centered; as hypocritical as it might sound, given Redson's own arrogant personality, he actually doesn't want to be around someone with the same behavior as him. Redson (even in canon) is quite insecure and has seemingly become arrogant and self centered as a result of his up-bringing and need to impress his family in order to feel as if he deserves their appreciation and attention as well as hiding his vulnerabilities, being around someone who's arrogant simply because they think they're better then everyone else (with no redeeming qualities), and who only cares for their own happiness and material things more than even their partner, couldn't make them more unattractive in his eyes, he needs someone with a softer personality who can help balance out his rough edges.
• Is overly possessive or controlling; Redson doesn't want to be with someone who'll try to control his every move, he needs his time alone and he needs to be able to do things without someone constantly hovering over his shoulder and telling him what to do (lord knows he already experiences this enough with his parents' controlling behavior).
• Doesn't appreciate him or his work; like I said before, Redson already doesn't get enough appreciation from his parents in regards to his work (the Bull clones, his machines and vehicles, the glove that literally LIFTED WUKONGS STAFF AND FREED DBK FROM HIS 500 YEAR IMPRISONMENT), he needs a partner who'll appreciate his work, who'll give him the praise for his work that he's been missing for hundreds of years, if he were to start a relationship with someone only for them to dismiss or ignore his genius, he'll be quick to end things between them.
(Sorry if this answer was disappointing, I really wasn't sure how to answer it, but if you have any more questions, about Redson or anyone else, that I will hopefully have better luck providing a satisfying answer for, I'd love to hear 'em :) )

No, because the most heartbreaking thing about any piece of Trigun media, is that Vash does not care if he dies.
He's been the punching bag, the target for so many years he doesn't know how NOT to be. He's been abused, and neglected, and shot, and unfairly hated for so long that he believes he deserves it.
"how do you keep smiling like this?"
"simple, really. I don't deserve to cry."
Do you understand how devastating that is? For someone like Vash, who'll cry at the slightest bit of kindness, thinks he doesn't deserve to mourn himself?
He'll cry for others, oh, anything for the people who've nailed him up as a sacrifice and, more than anything, someone to blame. He'll cry for his brother, who is in the endless cycle of acting and reacting and tearing open his own wounds and lashing out because he thinks it's the right thing to do.
He'll cry for a sinner destined to turn on him, his Judas who he'd devote himself so wholley to that it's only by that preachers hand that he hasn't died yet.
He'll cry for people who he barely knows, he even cried for LEGATO FUCKING BLUESUMMERS. The man who TORTURED HIM and gave him no choice. He'll cry and grieve for those shot and died and those who haven't died. He cries for his mother, who he hasn't stopped grieving over the 150 years he's lived.
But he never, not once thinks to cry for himself. He believes himself to be Atlas, or perhaps he would be compared to Yeshua or Prometheus. Whether it be carrying the sky, nailed to a cross, or strung across a boulder to have his guts pecked out for eternity, it's all for a people that are flawed and beautiful and cruel, for these humans who he loves so much he'll die for them.
In Vash, I see this.. passive suicidal ideation. He's not actively trying to get himself killed, no, he runs away from it as actively as possible and he hates pain, despite being able to withstand so much of it.
He isn't trying to get himself killed, but I don't think he likes living. Certainly not when life is gunwounds and starvation and endless, sandpaper thirst with no plausible end in sight. If he were to die, finally caught by something lucky enough to drain his life force, I don't think he'd fight it. Maybe he'd think, "I tried. Maybe Knives will stop now that he doesn't have a brother to fight for." And oh, he's so tired.
So extremely exhausted from fighting and kicking and screaming and grieving all his life.
He's only living, because of two things:
1.) Nothing has killed him yet.
2.) These people that have followed him expect him to live.
Maybe sometimes, he thinks, "would they miss me? Meryl, Millie, and Nicolas? Would Knives?" And he finds himself doubting every time. Doubting the place where a red coat and a sharp grin should be, if he were to disappear. He doubts he'll be remembered, even though he's made himself unforgettable.
He fights and he fights and he fights and nothing ever turns up for him, but he sees no point in giving up, and fights on anyways.
And he's always been kind.
That, is the tragedy and the beauty of Vash the Stampede.

Jealous headcannons for Gepard, Caelus, dan heng or any other hsr character you'd like to write about? I think a glimpse into their insecure side would be interesting!
Okay so I'm gonna do this with the trio you mention, but I'll also throw in Jing Yuan. Gender neutral reader, done this in headcanon form.
--
Gepard:
-definitely the type to pout to himself when he feels jealous if he can't go to tell the person causing the jealousy to get the hint and knock it off.
-its really adorable, if it weren't for how his insecurities sometimes came along. In that case, you need to reassure him you only have eyes for him.
-Serval definitely helps Gepard with some of his insecurities if she spots him giving that pout, poking fun at his insecurities but also saying it in a way that it's actually a compliment.
-please hug him when he pouts, that's when he really needs it.
Caelus:
-you best believe he'll walk along to your side whenever he starts to feel jealous. Depending on how he feels, he'll either be nice to the person or be insulting.
-if you tell him to be nice, he'll respond by saying he is justified - after all, it's his way of keeping you by his side.
-lowkey worried you'll leave him for someone who'll give you a more simple life, a life that isn't as chaotic.
-you...might need to dig through trash cans to reassure him you aren't going to leave him for a simple life.
-this one definitely will hold your hand, kiss you on the cheek, anything to show to as many people possible that you are his.
Dan Heng:
-poor guy would try and convince himself you deserved better than him, someone with a past they wanted to get away from.
-March 7th is the one that actually comes along to stop anything that sparks the jealousy Dan Heng gets by dragging you away from the cause.
-he appreciates March for her actions, especially as you knew her actions well enough to know he was getting jealous and insecure to who you were talking to.
-at the start of the relationship he definitely tells you he won't take it personally if you leave him for someone who could protect you, but over time that changed when he realised how much he loves you.
Jing Yuan:
-I genuinely think he would not get jealous very easily.
-I mean come on, everyone knew you were dating him, surely nobody is bold enough to make a move right?
-well, it does happen, and he isn't proud of how quickly he'll drop his current work to get you away from the person talking to you about the possibility of dating.
-if you point it out, Jing Yuan merely chuckles before explaining he wanted to play chess and you were the second best chess player he knew - of course, he states he is the best.
-part of him wants you to find someone else, someone who can look after you when he gets worse and potentially harms you. I'm warning you now - he may very well break up with you if he spots a worthy lover for you.

How do you think COTA!Crossmare would interact with Loyal Servant!Crossmare
Because they would be in the same multiverse at least, meaning it IS possible
Oh, dear lord. I'll interprite this question as individuals. Okay... Well, lets say in this hypothetical they met one on one. Some event transpires and these pairings come face to face with one another.
First let's go over Cross. And their differences.
LS!Cross would honestly be a bit put off by the fact that COTA!Cross isn't considered a leader within the group. Sure, he can plan the same as LS!Cross, but he doesn't hold the same stature. COTA!Cross isn't out here giving orders to Killer, because he's technically in charge. But at the same time this version of him having a lower ranking along with less personal time with his respective Nightmare yet still carrying the same unbreakable loyalty would make him impressed and proud.
COTA!Cross would find his counterpart almost too serious, and would actively hiss if coffee went near him. He much prefers his Nightmare's tea. However, at the same time, he'd almost be jealous. He'd be impressed by how far LS!Cross has come in becoming an undeniably important member of not just Nightmare's castle, but the multiverse in its entirety. Perhaps its a little ambitious and consequential to want what he has considering what transpired to reach that point, but COTA!Cross is nothing if not foolishly brave.
They get along, and can give each other a little insight on romance. Especially LS!Cross who now has plenty of experience serving his husband well. COTA!Cross will listen carefully.
The Nightmare's meeting each other on the other hand...
LS!Nightmare honestly looks to this variation of himself and thinks. 'Ugh, how could he have let mortals do so much damage?' As he is simply used to being the king of just about everything, and gets a bit freaked out when he isn't fully in control. That being said, he'd still find some things to compliment. Like those hooks. LS!Nightmare has the claws and teeth, but not hooks like that! And he'd like how strategically the leviathan uses them. On the subject of Cross, he thinks his counterpart could be a little more subtle about the way he flirts. This coming from the guy who only admitted he was in love while in passive form... Though LS!Cross misinterpreted his corrupted forms subtle hints in the most incredible show of denial.
COTA!Nightmare finds this other version of himself to be pretentious. LS!Nightmare may have experienced mental anguish, but only for such temporary times. He on the other hand has spent years suffering as his kind were killed all around him. He doesn't have time to be subtle with his own Cross, because he can never be sure he'll be alive the next day. He wants him now, not when its too late. At the very least he does find LS!Nightmare's dedication to Cross proper and just. Cross deserves someone who'll protect and love him deeply, which this variation of himself clearly does.
But in the end, the Nightmares don't get along as well as the Crosses do. Simply their snappy natures contrasting with one another's different upbringings. Their only real agreement is that Cross is the best damn guard they could ask for.

“I know a thousand different smiles, each with its own nuanced shade of meaning, but I don't know how to reach the few feet away to touch this person next to me. I don't know how to talk to him. Not when it's real.”
“Who wants to be normal when you can be interesting instead?”
“Then she smiles, and it turns out she has dimples, and it's all over.”
“When the light that kisses the back of her eyes were birthed, her ancestors were not yet born. How many human lives have ended in the time it took that light to reach her?How many people have loved only to have lost? How countless, the hopes that have died?But not this one.”

“I will see you in the stars.”
“When we allow ourselves to explore, we discover destinations that were never on our map.”
“What do you know of souls and hearts and how they break here? You don't know me at all.”

“You're the most important thing in this universe. You; this vessel; the people of this planet; lovers, warriors, artists, leaders, dreams more numerous than stars. Each mind unique, each thought created for an instant and then broken apart to form new ones. You don't understand the unbearable beauty of being you.”
“You humans fascinate me. I am shattered fragments of what I once once. But even with all the King's horses and all the King's men, I wonder if even I could truly comprehend you.”
“I'm not going to sit here and spitball about hyperspatial reality theory with a psychopathic calculator. This conversation is over.”
“There is something in humanity more suited to the mechanics of murder than any machine yet devised.”
“There are no stars, because there are never any stars here, only a thick darkness that rushes down her throat and into her heart. She dreams of drowning.”
“He would lose every game. And he still insisted on playing. I wondered at the futility of it. If it is the definition of insanity to repeat the same process and expect a different outcome, most of humanity must be insane.”
“But free will is what it means to be human, and no one can determine the path you take through this universe. Choice is our greatest right, our greatest gift-and our greatest responsibility.”
“Abandon her? If only my duty or my conscience would let me. The galaxy would be better off, if you ask me. Who’d even know we were in the same pod? Except that I would know. And that would be enough.”

***
[In Hufflepuff common room]
Ellie: You don't need my blessing to go snog Leander. In fact, I was pretty sure you were already snogging him!

Leander: Oh, it ended very well.
Garreth: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!
Amit: Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?
Leander: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh Merlin, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Amit: Ohh... So, okay, did she stand on tiptoes? Or did you lean down?
Leander: First she pulled me down by my tie and then she climbed me like a tree.
Amit & Garreth: Ohhh.
[Meanwhile]
Poppy: And, uh, and then I kissed him.
Imelda: Tongue?
Poppy: Yeah.
Ellie: Cool.

Garreth: Get the emergency supply!
Ellie: *goes to the Beasts class territory, carries Poppy and places her in front of Leander*
Poppy: *smiles*
Leander: AND I AM BACK BABY, LET’S GOOO!

Garreth: Be mysterious.
Amit: I can do that!
[later, when they go on a search of astronomy table in Hogwarts]
Ellie: So where are we going?
Amit: None of your business.
***
Ellie: The best way to gain someone's undying loyalty is by saving them from a perilous situation.
Leander: So you're just gonna wait until Amit is in danger and save him?
Ellie *thinking about goblin mine*: Of course not, I'm going to create a situation that puts him in danger and then I won't let him die.
Leander: ...
Leander: You're insane.
***
Ellie, holding a moonstone: Amit just gave this to me and said "I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock".
Poppy: If you don't marry him, I will.
***
Amit: So, what’s Ellie's type?
Leander: Brown eyes, kind, oblivious, good sense of humor, book lover.
Amit: Sounds kind of like me. Too bad we’re just friends.
Leander: Did I mention oblivious?
Amit: Yeah, why?
Leander: Okay, just making sure.
***
Garreth: Do you love Ellie?
Amit: Yeah, I do.
Garreth: Poppy! I told you I knew it! You owe me 10 galleons!
Poppy: We all love Ellie. You should've asked if he was IN love with her.
Amit: I thought that was implied.
Poppy: ...
Garreth: ...
Amit, looking straight at Poppy: Congrats, Garreth, you just won 10 galleons.
***
Garreth: Hey, Amit? Can I get some dating advice?
Amit: Just because I'm with Ellie doesn't mean I know how I did it.
***
Obligatory mention of Chomping Cabbages
[Before showing the Boggarth]
Professor Hecat: What’s your biggest fear?
Leander: That I’ll never be good enough for anyone.
Arthur: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.
Ellie: Chinese Chomping Cabbages
Professor Hecat: ...
The rest of the class: ...
Ellie: BUT they can open doors.

Just finished The World that Stood Against Us (Made Us Mean, to Fight for You) it was fantastic.
Love literally everyone else immediately understanding the danger of Yuuji getting hurt even has Yuuji doesn’t understand beyond that he’s bleeding and was pushed because he’s a child and one of the other people in the world who will never have anything to fear from Gojo is so good.
“Yuuji, because he's a pup and doesn't know the beast who sits in his mother's skin, turns, and upon seeing Gojo-Sensei begins to openly weep.” << Obsessed with this line
Feral Omega Gojo is a gift. Love Megumi sweating bullets along with everyone else even though he’s the safest after the twins. Also someone get Ijichi a raise that man deserves one before his heart gives out from all the stress Gojo causes him.
Megumi getting angry about Todo calling himself Yuuji’s brother is also so good, that’s his little brother how dare you put yourself on his level. Calling him a suck up, Megumi being bitter about it I love it.
Also Yuuji being completely oblivious to the danger everyone else is in >>> only second to feral omega Gojo tbh.
Megumi over exaggerating and stepping in so no one starts that back up is so clever. His pride may never recover but it probably saved someone’s life considering how easily Gojo could be set off again if he hadn’t stepped in. They should all thank him. Not me though I was hoping Gojo was gonna spill blood. But the rest of them should.
Nobara hiding behind Maki is so sweet, Maki is her favorite and she’s not subtle about it nor should she be. Also please let Yuuji get his steak!
Love the Second years, Megumi, Gojo, and the twins hanging out. Gojo shielding the twins with Infinity after also goes hard. Of course he is one of his babies got hurt, he’s being overprotective but also it’s Gojo and that should be expected. Also there’s no way Megumi didn’t also have Infinity on him right? Your his pup too dude no way he’s not keeping Infinity on all three of you. Gojo teasing Megumi is also so good.
Loved this very much but I am left with one question: Who pushed Yuuji?
Ah!!!! Thank you so much!
Exactly! Yuuji is just a little kid, so any understanding of the world is gonna be centered around "I'm hurting and I want it to stop". He has no understanding that everyone else would have a reason to fear Gojo. His mother has never been a threat to him, so it isn't even a option
Im not even gonna lie, it was my favorite line to write. I love it when parents go from 0 to 100.
Im terms of Gojo's priorities it's basically categorized at the moment as "My pups and students" and then "everyone else". Tsk-tsk, Megumi should know better than to be even worried about his own safety. The twins and him are the ones who have zero chance of getting a scratch.
Megumi is such a bitter bitch (this isn't a drag against his character, I love that about him) and is still bitter about getting his ass kicked. And calling Todo a suck up was another favorite of mine to write. Megumi, while he tries to keep his distance, definitely gets a lot more privileges than he even realizes when it comes to Gojo
Even better when they go hand in hand. I needed more feral omegas who'll rip oit throats for their babies, and I suppose be the change you wanna see, lol
Maki is basically the coolest person in the universe to Nobara (and yes, Megumi was bitter about losing his little sister's admiration to his upper classmate). I like to think to satisfy both pups Gojo took them to some restaurant that served both
The second years are pretty used to their teacher and the pups, so this is probably a common occurrence. Gojo is very much a overprotective parent, but in his defense, assassination attempts on heirs are common as HELL and he's pretty shaken up from earlier. Usually his presence alone is enough to deter threats. I'm glad that Gojo teasing Megumi was enjoyable, I was a little worried it mightve been ooc and that I pushed it a little too far. It was fun to write though, especially Gojo complaining about what a grump Megumi had become.
I actually hadn't thought about who was the one to push Yuuji, cause I didn't want anyone maimed (though, Mai or Noritoshi would probably be a no, considering their involvement with other clans would immediately be taken as hostile action)

oof.mp3
age 27 with one abusive relationship under my belt and plenty of other "im pretending we're talking but really i just wanna fuck" ones and ik some people have zilch nada of either and i should be content but jesus fucking christ
age 27 and i have a giant teddy bear from a thrift store that i have to cling onto to not let the demons take over and i honestly think i just need to have a full sobbing breakdown about this stupid fucking petty shit
loneliness won't kill me bc i have good great friends and they care about me and my family are assholes but at least theyre around and im just throwing a tantrum about not having a partner.
but i could get onto dating apps-
bro either i get people im definitely not interested in or people who just wanna hook up and im not interested in it. like sometimes i think about having my hookup era but im too anxious to even really consider beyond just teasing these guys and like yeah! im bi! i could go out on dates w girls but id rather not get hatecrimed to death by my family if they ever find out
idk i tell everyone else all day that theyre lovable and deserve the love they want and deserve but like ykno that doesnt apply to myself
like i have nothing to offer and im palatable to friends but romantic partners? nah. im jealous of my married and dating and engaged friends bc i eant to spend my life with someone who actually like. wants me romantically and friends are great but i need something. romantic. idk maybe im just a jealous bitch but i want to have someone that *looks* at me, yknow?
i am not worth a passing glance and my friends say im pretty but i know im not and i wish i looked the way i wanted bc then i would be and i wouldnt look like my mom
and nobody looks at me or notices me and i have to engineer shit to look pretty enough for a picture and i just want to look like one of the xiaohongshu girls bc then i could at least enjoy myself
i exist to be a support character to never have breakdowns and only listen and just be complacent with my hand in life but i wish i could do anything but be a depressed sack of shit and take naps all day or mindlessly scroll so i dont have to feel like this
and maybe this is my hell, that i have to date a cis dude or a passing trans dude if i dont want to get hatecrimed but im so intolerable that this is my punishment that the most hopeless romantic in my friendgroup really is the most hopeless. i just want someone who'll give up or trade off on our favourite character in a game or win me carnival game prizes or somehow always find a way to touch me and won't mind if i grab their hand or will tell about this one thing they like while i work on something or like. i mean i dont have an iphone but for some reason the facetiming while falling asleep hits somehow in my brain and idk.
i feel bad telling ym friend thats never dated that i hate being 2nd choice when she hasnt ever been one but i think theyre. equally devastating. because either way you're haunted w what could have been.
im always the second person after theyve already been in love with someone else or have someone currently or a passing moment of lust or an idle what if and im sick of it
i feel like a kid looking at god or whatever force might manage us like "ive tried to be good to deserve something good i can share and im so full of love but nobody wants to share it with me"
and god just points at my adult life like "but you've been too angry and broke yourself too much" so i stay angry and broken
and alone

You know, I'm not the type of guy you see in those Instagram reels and pictures how they wear fancy stuff like rings and earrings and tattooed arms and many other things and show off on the internet. No offence to them but it's not me. I'm not the type of guy to share every little bit detail of my life on social media asking for validation if I'm looking handsome or good even. I wake up look in the mirror and appreciate it whatever i have.
I have acene on my cheeks and and dark circles under my eyes. I don't have veiny hands and i don't have muscles they show off. I'm not the type of guy who checks every girl out, flirts and passes comments on whatever kind of clothes they're wearing. I have grown up under very mature eyes and they taught me how to respect women.
I'm not the type if guy who shares every bit of his life with others. I like to be private as possible and work in silence. I believe in respect and loyalty. Either its friendship or relationship. I stand by my friends and my loved ones whenever they need. I'm not the type of who goes party every night or every weekend and drinks too much. Hell, i don't drink and smoke at all. However i could, i chose not to.
I have very simple personality and i don't have ego. My clothing style is simple i don't buy from rich brands and look for something that fits in my budget. I'm extrovert with private life, you dont ask and i don't tell is my thing. I have very few people that i trust blindly and I'll literally do anything for them when the time is right. I know what vibe i give off, what vibes i need.
I can blend in pretty well everywhere but i prefer being in home. I chose silence over loudness. The love and affection i give is so rare i know, and also not everyone deserves it, you have to earn it. I'm not the type who randomly choses someone and showers them my love and affection. If i like you enough, I'll do that by myself. I'm the type of guy who'll make you laugh and smile on your bad days.
I'm the type of guy that won't be in your dreams but standing next to you praying to god for his parent's healthy life. You may think its easy to win me, but it's not. It'll take a lot take a place in my mind let alone my heart. I don't fuck around and play with girl's heart. When i love someone i love them so hard, it may feel like a dream to them. I'm mature and i know who's coming after my mind and who's coming after me just to play with me. I have been hurt and broken, and it did nothing but gave me maturity and i learned how to live.
I'm surrounded by so much good and lovely people i literally don't have time for haters. I know my friends, family and my loved ones loves me to death and accepted me for who i am whatever i am. It is life and up and downs are just part of it, while I'm facing downs i know I'll rise and build the life I've dreamed with my parents. Thank you ♡
(Just random thoughts)

Hi! if you can may i have a star wars or marvel ship? IDC if their male or female . (Im NB myslef)
My personality is ENFP. Im 5’7, Abrum hair, brown eyes, look more girly than I would like.
I’m a bit of a fighter. its a defense mechanism but I am proud of it cuz i used to be shy. Im dorky (like retro stuff) and just all around strange. My love langue is 100% physical touch although i do draw or make cards to give to my friends/family/SO as well. My absolute favorite movie is Empire strikes back, its finny but for some reason strikes me as romantic. I think thats it.
Thx!
ok, i dig the vibe! for you, i'm sensing...
layla el-faouly (moon knight)~
Tumblr media
i see this working for a multitude of reasons, actually. primarily because opposites can often attract (which if def the case here), but you could also bond a lot over your shared qualities. layla's been through a lot, but i think your more socially-inclined and engaging personality would gel v well with hers. she's often had to be the disciplinary partner in her past relationships *cough* jake/steven/marc oml *cough*, so being with someone who's both up for a good time (be it watching your favorite movie, or spending time with loved ones) but also ready to jump into action and protect the ones they care about would be v attractive to layla.
she's likely a sweetheart when she isn't out there defending civilians, tapping into her scarlet scarab hero!vibe, or trying to establish some kind of stability in her relationships tbh. and after the death of her father, she probably especially appreciates someone who'll just indulge in the more stereotypical 'gf/bf/partner' energy that she often forgets to prioritize, and have some way to just put the darker things in the back of her mind for a while.
so as long as you're up for reminding her how she ought to chill a bit more, maybe settle down with you for some well-deserved cuddles (she esp likes when you trace patterns on her collarbones and upper arms, and loves to run her hands through your soft, auburn hair too) and train-of-thought conversations instead of plotting to save the next egyptian city, i think you'll have a lovely relationship with layla.
hope u liked it lovely, tysm for requesting! <3

The creator
Review: Overwrought and shallow, style over substance. Brilliant actors sidelined by a gazillion, mostly unnecessary, excruciating death scenes of mishmash asians™ treated like props.
Tell me why I am supposed to care about a man who lived among sentient life for years unwavering in his belief they were unfeeling and unworthy of life? A guy who takes 75% of the movie to see a child as more than an informant machine? Where are the supercomputers and non-bipedal robots? Their evolution and salvation is dependent on a single genius human: what is this?
Why is a british-punjabi actor playing a thai super-cop? Don't get me wrong Amar Chadha-Patel is a scene stealer who is going places (if they'd made him the new Witcher, people would be gagging for the next season).
Who overrode the editors: 135 minutes and 90% of it rote action junk instead of letting us bond to anyone? The double fridging: are you kidding me??
It looks amazing of course, Thailand is stunning and "otherworldly" since we rarely see it on film. But for goodness sakes, this thing needed a script doctor, a writer's room, anything but "ya boy made a good film this one time, let's let him single-handedly make another because auteurs are magic".
Top-notch ending but you literally could gut a whole hour of "action" from this film and it'd be more effective... mostly because we wouldn't spend that hour wondering why the main character has had no growth.
At some point you have to trust your actors to do more than deliver lines which means either working on fleshing out their characters with a team or letting them have some input and then putting that in your film: these are people who embody stories for a living and are very talented at it. Instead, we get to watch some brilliant character actors moved around like set pieces and attempt to give some texture to the paper thin character they've been handed. It's insulting.
Editing to add that: yes it's visually incredible, just beautiful, every design element (aside from the physics of explosions) was crafted with care, these are clearly people who love worldbuilding.
I happen to love stories above all else even if the sets are cardboard and the robots made of tin foil.
And also think it's the height of arrogance to not have your storytelling vetted (by people who'll be honest) or handed over to others when that's been a critique before. You created a collaborative piece of art that respects all the designers which is great but not the actors, and of course the audience who are there for spectacle but also an emotionally resonant experience. There is no shame in knowing when to get the right people for the job.
This kind of design and film work deserves a solid story skeleton and there are many brilliant sci fi writers whose work deserved that fantastic design treatment. I'm harshest on movies with great wasted potential.
This could have been mind-blowing with someone else's script.

Yao: Song'er. *feeds him soup* how are you, darling?
Rusong: much better, A-Die!!
Yao: excellent.
*caresses face* you're my dearest.
Rusong: *smile*
A-Die. A-Qing came to my room, and covered me.
Yao: that's delightful.
Rusong: not only that, but she fell asleep near my bed while hugging my sleeve. Then spent time with me
Yao: awwww.
A-Song, I think she likes you back, and cares for you. But she doesn't want to admit it.
Rusong: i feel it's about time I tell her my feelings. I can't loose someone who's so caring and vibrant.
Yao: go for it, A-Song.
Wait a sec.
Rusong: mhm.
Yao: *comes back with a little box* I commissioned a golden comb for my future daughter-in-law, your future wife and this empire's future Wangfei.
Rusong: really?! Why A-Die! How long were you planning my wedding?????
Yao: Song'er relax. I wasn't planning your wedding yet.
Rusong: yet?? *blush*
Yao: well maybe I did write down a few things in my journal.
Rusong: A-Die......what did you write.
Yao: *blinks innocently* nothin'
Ok fine. I was creating an invite list, seeing where to put 4 chocolate and wine fountains in the palace, and structuring out your five day festivities along with colour schemes and dress codes
Rusong: five days!!!! And colour schemes too?!
Yao: you know I plan when I'm bored. And also you're my son. My son deserves the world. Everything must glamorously be put in place.
Yao: *strokes head*  and I know that my A-Song will find someone he loves, and you two would carry on the Mengs and the fox spirit empire.
Now do you really like her?
Rusong: yes, very much.
Yao: *hands him* give her this comb to confess to her.
Rusong: alright. I will.
But what if--
Yao: Song'er, there's no what if. You're gorgeous and well mannered. And you have dimples.
If she rejects, then there are other young ladies out there.
Rusong: mn.
It's a beautiful comb by the way.
Little diamond studs, pink sapphire peonies, emeralds, and~~
Yao: some Burmese jewelry of course.
Rusong: stunning!
Yao: yes. You know your A-Die loves to travel. And I receive gifts from foreign people.
This comb is fit for a Wangfei.
Rusong: I agree.
Yao: best of luck, darling.
Rusong: thank you! And thanks for helping me.
Yao: no prob.
Rusong: before I confess, I'm going to tell team dimple.
Yao: my chaos crew. *laughs* ok Song'er. Go tell them. Later I got to help Zish decorate for Yanli's baby's one month ceremony.
Well it's not really a ceremony but more of a surprise.
Rusong: aw so cute!
Yao: yup.
Rusong: and Ling gege is really happy.
Yao: everyone is.
Rusong: what's the baby's name?
Yao: well since she's a girl. Her name is Ruhua.
Rusong: beautiful
~
Team Dimple: *idk, maybe simping over A-Yao*
Rusong: Team D.
Mo xuanyu: Song'er.
Su she: Little Dianxia. Are you ok?
Rusong: yea. My cold is gone, Uncle Su!
Su she: great.
Xue yang: waddup mini boss Dianxia.
Rusong: guys, I want to tell you something.
Mo xuanyu: *cries* we already know that you like that evil Lan lips. But we still love you either way.
Rusong: what? It has nothing to do with Lan lips. I mean Shizun.
I have a crush on A-Qing.
Su she: awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
Mo xuanyu: our tiny baby Song'er has a little crush. Omg. I feel so old. I held you in my arms as a baby!! Don't you know that. My little heart.
Team d, I'll be crying all week, so if you see my makeup running, you know why.
Su she: are we gonna turn gray soon.
Who'll get bald first?
Mo xuanyu: I hope it's not meeeeee. *sobs* you know how much money I spend on my hair treatments! And rice water imported from Dongying.
I did that to look nice for Yao gege by the way.
Xue yang: did you guys make out. That's really cute.
Rusong: no uncle muffin, lol.
And you guys are not going to get gray and bald. Because of cultivation.
Xue yang: this silly girl. She came here and seduced the hulijing Dianxia.
She played her cards right.
That's why she's my daughter.
But is it the other way around? Because you have Jiggy's face, and Jiggy is good at making people fall for him.
Su she: over all we're happy for you, Song'er. Does Huangdi know?
Rusong: yup.
Mo xuanyu: I hope you two have a lot of hulijing babies.
Xue yang: with dimples. They better have dimples.
You can squeeze all your genes into A-Qing if you want.
Su she: that's not how it works!
Xue yang: do I look like a doctor, Minshan. But Wen Qing once tried to teach me about medicine but she's too hot to be taken seriously.
And her lipstick is too distracting.
Mo xuanyu: lol. I can't relate. But Yao gege would look hot with lipstick on.
Su she: he looks good in everything.
Xue yang: he's smoking hot.
Rusong: oh team D. You always have to simp for A-Die, lol.
Su she: that's our profession.
Xue yang: it's Jiggy's fault for being so darn attractive.
Mo xuanyu: yea, I'm a Yao simp.
~~~
On the other side....
A-Qing: *looking at one of Rusong's gifts*
Xue yang: you really got some skill, Qingqing.
A-Qing: xue yang! Don't startle me like that!!
Xue yang: girl aren't you going to tell me about your little crush?! I popped you out of me!
A-Qing: no you didn't!!
Xue yang: spill, child!
A-Qing: ok fine. I do have a crush on Rusong.
Xue yang: ahhhhhhhhhh. Omg!!
You got my skill! Yea those dimpled people love our antics. Like look at Jiggy.
A-Qing: yea, I feel like he has his A-Die's charm.
Xue yang: *ruffles hair* look at you! Marrying into a rich family.
A-Qing: wow, wow, wow. Marriage! I'm not ready for that. And neither is Rusong.
We're just more than friends.
Xue yang: how are you supposed to make children for him!
A-Qing: we're still young! Xue yang!!
Xue yang: *laughing*
This little Dianxia is completely in love. He gave you gifts, a minor staff of maids, clothes. Heehee.
A-Qing: ohhh that's why he did that??? I didn't realise.
I thought that he was being a hospitable host.
Xue yang: I would have thought so too. Because Jiggy is great at hosting and making people feel comfortable.
Little Dianxia is just like Jiggy by the way.
A-Qing: *sigh* its just that I can't stop thinking of him. Especially when I sleep.
Xue yang: because you're a simp.
There's nothing wrong about being a simp. Do you accept your simping faith.
A-Qing: I....I feel like I do.
But xue yang, what if he rejects me.
Xue yang: then punch him in the face.
Ok no don't do that. He's the prince and Jiggy will kill me.
A-Qing: hahahahaha afraid of Jiggy.
Xue yang: no, I'm not afraid of that short--
A-Qing: oh hey Jiggy!
Xue yang: *turns around* IT WASN'T ME!! A-QING PUT ME UP TO THIS!! DON'T TAKE MY CANDY
Wait......no one's there.
You little pest.
A-Qing: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You popped me out right?
Xue yang: I wish I didn't. *rolls eyes*
My hips would have been smaller.
A-Qing: what hips.
Xue yang: xiao xingchen liked my hips.
A-Qing: he doesn't have any eyes!!
Xue yang: but he has hands to touch. Ten functional fingees.
A-Qing: unlike you.
Xue yang: you're very mean and savage.
A-Qing: how does it feel being bullied by someone younger than you?
Xue yang: *sarcasm* lovely.
Mo xuanyu: omg, spill sista. You really like Song'er? You took care of him when he was unwell.
Don't worry, sis, I'll do your makeup for you, to enhance your cuteness.
Su she: aw so sweet. Well I see that Song'er is happy when he's with you.
Xue yang: ahh you have classy taste. I knew that you liked Rusong since the day you walked in.
You can't hide things from me.
A-Qing: don't tell him anything! I don't know if he likes me back!! And I don't want to be heartbroken and rejected. 
Su she: but he bought you gifts. Of course he likes you back.
A-Qing: I want to hear it from him.
Mo xuanyu: gal knows what she wants. Love that!
Xue yang: that's how I raised her. Thank me later.
Su she: yangyang, you did a great job!
A-Qing: is Rusong looking for rich girls?
I'm not rich and fancy
Su she: he loves you for you. Song'er isn't a materialist.
Xue yang: he's humble just like Jiggy.
A-Qing: ooh.
Su she: are you going yo tell Huangdi? Huangdi will be so happy!
A-Qing: nop. I want to tell Jiggy along with Rusong. Before I don't want to come across as obsessive.
Mo xuanyu: A-Qing, you're so sweet.
Xue yang: you're a Yandere.
A-Qing: xue yang!
Xue yang: but you're smart. You can't tell Jiggy. He and Rusong are a team. They put everyone in chokeholds. It's us simps who has to fend for ourselves.
A-Qing: are we talking about my crush or the Sunshot campaign.
I'm getting mix signals.
Mo xuanyu: xue yang, don't scare her.
A-Qing: Anyways team D, I have to go back to Yi city soon. It's better to tell him before I leave.
Mo xuanyu: girl, you know what's a long distance relationship.
Also Song'er will miss you more.
Su she: right.
~~
Later on, in the Peacock empire!!
A-Yao was on top of Zixuan's shoulders while putting up decorations.
Yao: move a little to the left.
Zixuan: yea A-Yao.
Yao: *fixing*
Zixuan: can you reach it?
Yao: yup.
Zixuan: *wobbles a bit*
Yao: *laughing* don't drop me.
Zixuan: never Foxy.
Huaisang: I have never seen these two work in their lives ever since they became emperors.
Mo xuanyu: leave them alone.
Su she: Huangdi is a hardworking emperor, by the way.
Xue yang: go help them, Huaisang!
Zixuan: Foxy your tail is in my face.
Yao: sorry. It just appears when I stretch too much. *makes it disappear*
Zixuan: awww that's so cute!
Rusong: A-Die, uncle Zish. Where are your staff?
Zixuan: working on other things. But we want to help. To impress A-li.
Mo xuanyu: that's really sweet.
Zixuan: yup! That's why I called Foxy to help me.
Mo xuanyu: where's Saozi by the way?
Zixuan: she's spending some time in Yunmeng with her bros, a.k.a the attractive Jiang cheng and that niucence necromancer.
Mo xuanyu: ohh.
Zixuan: so I said that I should surprise her by decorating the palace for this auspicious day.
Yao: and I'm honoured to help Zish!
Mo xuanyu: you two make an awesome team!
Both: thank you!
Yao: *comes down from Zixuan's shoulder.* what next?
Zixuan: ummm. Let's go make a cake!
Yao: good idea! A-Yu, come help us.
Mo xuanyu: of course!!
Zixuan: guys, I have ordered some special tea.
Yao: ohh that's great. What's so special about it.
Zixuan: I can't tell you, Foxy.
I'm too shy.
Mo xuanyu: but you can tell me, right?! Spill the beans, Xuan gege!
Yao: you know you can't say no to xuanyu, Zishie.
Zixuan: fineee, lemme tell you two before I get a double dosage of puppy eyes.
It has an expensive aphrodisiac.
Mo xuanyu: *gasps* xuan gege!
Yao: gosh I thought you were innocent.
Zixuan: it's just an experiment.
Yao: oh dear.
Mo xuanyu: Yanli better beware of this horny peacock.
Zixuan: rude, lol.

[ it's not such a bad thing (to fall in love) ] tsukishima kei
Tumblr media
♡ contains: teeny angst, fluff-ish, suggestive (kinda), making-out, Tsukki calling you an idiot as ‘I love you’
♡ summary: Love is a stranger in Tsukishima's life, the feeling of giving and receiving love – a mere fantasy. But when you entered his life, he slowly learned that loving you wasn't really a bad thing. OR, you're an idiot for suggesting making out under the pouring rain.

Love and affection — two things Tsukishima found out to be exhausting, extremely unpleasant. They said he's a person unworthy of something as invigorating and magical as love.
The rush, flirtings, stolen kisses and glances, awkward first dates– he wasn't capable of receiving or giving.It was how they always made him feel, what they wanted him to understand.
“You idiot, let's go home, It's already raining” with all the constant remarks thrown at him, he swore he'll never love someone, much as date, he wouldn't give his heart to someone who'll take it for granted, and just throw it afterwards.
He doesn't want to love someone who'll just leave him broken in the end. He told himself that countless times, engraved in his heart, tattooed on his mind.
“And so what if it's raining? What are you afraid of the rain?” finding you was like finding a needle on a haystack, it was a one in a million chance.
Finding you amidst the difficulties he faced, through the hardships and debacles, yet in the end you were his ending. You were someone he didn't want to meet yet was blessed to come and thaw the ice he shut himself into.
Loving you brought nothing to him but inexplicable scenarios– all leading to one thing, surprises. You coming to his life was a surprise itself, a rare occurrence.
Meeting you and getting close to you was another, letting you step closer but still never letting his guard down. He tried to keep you on arm's length, build walls to prevent you from entering. It's what he did for how long but it wasn't enough.
You thawing the ice in his heart, crushing the walls he made was the last. Shocking him when you said ‘I love you’, it wasn't what he wanted to hear when he pushed you away.
He wasn't supposed to cry, to listen to you, to embrace him and believed that you'd prove him that they were all long.
Flicking your forehead, he scoffed, “I'm not scared dummy, just don't blame me if you get sick”. It was peaceful for a moment, the droplets of rain could be heard, your clothes already drenched.
“Hey! I have an idea” he felt you move from his arms to his lap, straddling him while holding on his shoulders for leverage, a knowing smile painted on your face.
“At this time? Really? Are you asking for a fever?” he rolled his eyes at you, but didn't make an effort to push you off or even squabble with you.
He wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer, his face just inches close to yours. Seeing his face this close, hair damp, it felt something out of a romance manga.
To be wrapped around his embrace is bliss, to feel cared for by someone like Tsukishima Kei. The man who was told to be unworthy of being loved, it all sound absurd, the mere thought of excluding him of the magics of love irritates you.
How could they say such horrible things to a man who's much lovable as anyone else in this world. A guy who's deserving of anything and everything in this world.
“I hear no objections” leaving him no point to argue, you capture his lips in a searing kiss. Lips molding to one another, like you're made for each other. His hands ghosted over your waist to cradle the back of your head, deepening the kiss.
It's entrancing, even if it was for a moment, engulfing in his warmth, making out under the rain. It was a one in a million scenario– and you were the lucky one to be able to experience it.
“You're an idiot” he pulled back first, resting his forehead into yours, still with those crude words he smiled– an honest smile. One that you know what it means after so many years, ‘I love you.’
“Your idiot” But even if he tried so hard to set up a barrier, even if he pushed you away time and time again, to him you're his magnet. The one person he can't get enough of, that one person who gravitates him, that person who'll never stop loving him.
Tsukishima is hated by the way how snarky his tongue is, how easily he could make a scathing remark about someone he just met. So they said that he'll never find love nor experience being loved.
With all the countless lies he heard, he swore that love is a bad thing and promised to never love again. He knows that love and affection are two things that he'll never have.
But when he meets you, when you look at him with that soft gaze and that adorable smile, he's in shambles, questioning the Gods for giving you to someone like him.
Your love and affection, which was once a stranger to his life, were the two things that helped him realize that falling in love isn't such a bad thing.

BONUS
“Stop laughing!” Tsukishima's laugh was getting irritating, he kept on mocking you. Laughing at your face while trying to feed you the soup he made.
A day after your make-out session, you caught a fever, coughing and sneezing in your shared bedroom.
“I don't think I will” he still kept on laughing, jesting you from time to time, but he still took care of you.
Changing the towel on your forehead from time to time, making sure you drink your medicine, even cuddling you even if he knows he wasn't allowed.
“You're still an idiot but I love you”
