Bad Days and Zoo Trips - HarderssonKid!R x Niamh and Jessie
Tumblr media
Summary: sometimes all it takes to make a bad day a little bit better is going to see your favorite animals at the zoo. (the request was more hardersson x kid!r)
A/N: who wants to guess how many different ideas this started as before it landed on this?
You are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
It all started this morning when Morsa told you that you had to go to nursery because your babysitter got sick and they couldn’t take you to practice because they had grown up things to do afterwards. Then when you were getting dressed Momma wouldn’t let you wear your Barcelona jersey with Moster Frido’s name on the back (because it's dirty) so you have to settle for wearing one of Tante Simone’s Hammarby shirt’s.
The terrible horrible no goodness continues at breakfast when you have to eat pancakes instead of waffles because there are none. And Morsa doesn’t even put any fruit in it like normally does when you have waffles.
You cry the whole way to nursery, where things do not get any better.
When you get there, a little boy that you don’t recognize is sitting in your normal spot on the rug and Miss makes you sit somewhere else when you ask him to move.
That little boy, Zac, continues to make your day worse at every possible turn.
After the rug incident, he takes the last seat at the lego table even though your friend Jamie had been saving it for you. When your class goes outside, he refuses to let you play football and then when the teachers make him, he keeps shoving you over. But, of course, Miss only notices when you shove him back and so you get put in timeout.
When you get back inside, after naptime, Miss tells the class a story about Vikings from Sweden, and the day improves for all of about 2 minutes when she lets you tell everyone about the Viking museum you went to the last time you visited Stockholm. But it goes sour again when Zac keeps cutting you off and even says that girls weren’t allowed to be vikings, which is just completely untrue.
That unfortunately, is your breaking point and before you even realize it, you’re across the room shoving the boy over. And just as quickly, Miss has grabbed you around the waist and is hauling you over to the timeout stool.
After 5 minutes, she comes back and brings you over to say sorry to Zac, except you don’t. Instead you start a rant in Swedish about Vikings, and well both your refusal to apologize and the Swedish (something you’ve been warned about in the past) land you back in the timeout where you stay for the rest of the day.
You’re not sure how long it really is but it feels like forever before the sound of two familiar voices have you turning around to face the rest of the classroom.
You only need to catch a glimpse of them before you're off the stool and barrelling towards them at fool speed barely dodging the other kids who are still waiting to get picked up.
“Jessie, Niamh,” you all but shout, slamming directly into the Englishwoman's legs, “Why are you here? Where’s my Momma and Morsa?”
Before either of the athletes have a chance to answer, Miss speaks instead.
“Y/N, I know you’re very excited to see your friends but that’s no excuse for running or shouting indoors.”
“Sorry, Miss.” Even to your own ears you don’t sound very sorry. “I’m going to get my things.”
You dart back off across the classroom, only slowing down slightly when Miss calls out after you.
It takes you less than a minute to grab your things and come back, immediately shoving your jumper and backpack into Niamh’s hands.
“No way, kid, we’re under strict instructions to make sure that you wear this,” the defender says.
“No thank you, bye Miss,” you say, taking Jessie’s hand and leading her out of the classroom and the building.
You can hear Niamh laughing as she follows behind, still holding your jumper, and complaining about it, until Jessie eventually stops you halfway down the block.
“Y/N/N, I know you don’t want to but you really need to wear your sweater,” the Canadian says.
“No thank you.”
That earns you a hard stare from the older girl, “I wasn’t really asking you.”
“No.”
“Yes, Y/N.”
With the two of you locked in a very intense stare down, Niamh takes the opportunity to take you by surprise, forcing the jumper over your head. She manages to get it down past your shoulders, making it so you can do nothing but whine as you struggle to get your arms free and through the appropriate holes.
“Not fair,” you say with a stomp of your foot and the slightest pout, once you manage to free yourself.
“Isn’t it crazy how life is rarely fair,” Niamh asks sarcastically. “But since it isn’t fair, I guess that means that you don’t want to come to the zoo with Jessie and I?”
Wide-eyed you look over at the Canadian, who just nods at you very seriously before speaking, “Niamh and I would just have to go by ourselves and it won’t be as much fun without our favorite little girl there to tell us about all the reptiles and amphibians.”
You pretend to take a moment to think about it but anyone watching from the outside, specifically Jessie and Niamh, can see the way you’re practically shaking with excitement.
“Well, I suppose that we can still go,” you say as calmly as a kid your age can, “the two of you need someone to help you see the differences in all the salamanders and newts.”
The two footballers exchange a knowing smirk over the top of your head as you allow Niamh to take you by the hand.
The trip to the zoo takes too long in your humble opinion but you do your best to not bounce up and down in your seat. Once you reach the zoo, all sense of pretense is lost and you just barely agree to see some of the other animals before you attach your face to the glass in the reptile exhibit.
You allow yourself to be dragged to the different primates (where you do your best not to make faces back at them), then to the big cats (where you happily explain that lions aren’t kings of the jungle because they live in the savannah) and finally to the giraffes (where you crack jokes about them being even taller than Millie).
Eventually though, you do make it to the reptile exhibit just in time to see one of the handlers taking a baby alligator out of its habitat.
Immediately, you rush forward with the other kids, getting as close as possible to the zookeeper.
“Hello, I’m zookeeper Jack and this here is my friend Billy, he’s visiting us from America.”
From the second the zookeeper starts talking, you’re hooked, staring in silent wonder as the animal is held on display. The only movement you make is to raise your hand in an attempt to answer almost every question.
Near the end, Jack asks if anyone would like to hold Billy and your hand is the only one that goes up.
“We’ve got a brave one. What’s your name,” he asks, while showing you where to put your hands.
“Y/N.”
“And who brought you to the zoo today?”
“Niamh and Jessie,” you say, slowly point Billy’s head towards them. “They promised to let me show them the newts and salamanders.”
“Niamh and Jessie are your sisters?”
“Yea.”
You’ve completely returned your attention to Billy the gator, so you’re not even aware of the shock that your words have given the two athletes.
“One more question for you, Y/N, and then we’ll let you and your sisters take a photo with our friends here,” Jack says. “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“A herpetologist,” you say. Then after a moment, “Or maybe a viking, I haven’t decided yet.”
“Well, if you’re as gentle with all animals as you were with Billy, I think you have a pretty good chance at it,” he says, choosing to ignore the bit about becoming a viking, not wanting to break your little kid heart.
Jack the zookeeper then quickly ushers both of the footballers to the front to take a photo. He tries to make them stand next to you only for both of them to stand behind you and as far away from Billy’s teeth as they could.
When he takes the alligator back, you thank him before dragging Niamh and Jessie over to one of the vivariums you noticed on your way in. The large glass habitat is set up to resemble the ecosystem of the rivers and creeks in the pacific northwest and there, peeking out from underneath a rock, is the very animal you’ve been wanting to show them, the rough skin newt.
“Look,” you say, pointing the black and orange creature out, “That little guy is one of the most toxic animals in all of America. Just one of them contains enough toxin to kill 12 adults.”
“That’s scary, why do you know that,” Niamh asks.
“It’s not scary, it's cute,” you tell her. “And cool! There’s only one animal that can safely eat them and most of the time that snake decides it isn’t worth the hassle.”
The smile on your face only grows as you continue to gush about the tiny amphibians and its cousins. It doesn’t go away until well after you return home.
When you do get back home, now armed with a stuffed Smooth Newt and your face still sticky with the ice cream you had leaving the zoo, you excitedly tell your mothers about Billy, completely missing the look Momma sends the two younger players.
What you don’t miss is the way Morsa quickly ushers you out of the room under the guise of helping you find a spot for your new friend, affectionately dubbed Bäcken (She goes right next to Älg in your bed obviously.) And you definitely don’t miss the way Niamh tries to hide behind Jessie to avoid Momma’s wrath as you walk away.
But in the end, you decide not to pay it too much attention because you’re far too busy telling your Morsa the names of all the different reptiles and amphibians you saw at the zoo as she helps you get cleaned up before dinner.
She's not very impressed with the amount of dirt you're covered in, so she makes you change while asking you about it. And she's even less impressed when you tell her about your day at nursery but you immediately change the subject back to the zoo, so she let's it go.
When your clothes are changed and the dirt and ice cream are wiped from your skin, the two of you head out to the dining room joining the others.
Where you realize that you have to start your story telling all over again because Momma didn't hear the part about the snakes and everyone else realizes that this is all you'll be talking about for weeks.

yes im changing
paige bueckers x reader
(paige x uconn psychology student!reader)
synopsis: with y/n being in a new environment, still facing rejection, how can she bounce back?
masterlist
chapter 5
the previous week was hell for y/n. she got to finish interviewing all the members part of the men’s and women’s basketball team. she plans on having study sessions with the team members starting next week. aubrey has been noticing dark circle’s under y/n’s eyes, and she’s growing concered.
it was a saturday night, and aubrey was going out to hang with the team, when she went out of here room, she saw y/n locked in with her research. she saw a glimpse of the introduction.
university of connecticut, in short uconn, is known for many achievements in their curriculars, and especially in basketball. according to previous research, many have grown fond of basketball due to university of connecticut, with many championship titles being brought to their home at storrs.
basketball in uconn is more popular than ever. with this, the researcher aims to see the difference of the resilience of these student athletes from the basketball teams of uconn. according to..
“girl thats dope, but you have been reviewing this introduction for the longest time. you need a break, your eyebags are telling you to do so.” aubrey said. “i just want a good grade.. so im eligible to transfer to stanford.” y/n replies nonchalantly.
“that is true, but you need to loosen up for now y/n. you have done a lot. im hanging out with the team today, you should really come so i wouldn’t have to worry about my teammate finishing cans of red bull. thats bad for you!” aubrey proposes. “i dont think i can..” y/n declines.
“im not taking no for an answer, so come into your room and put nice clothes on. i can wait for you” aubrey drags y/n out of her chair and brings her to the girl’s room.
“fine”
after 30 minutes, the roommates finally arrived to the destination: a steakhouse. it’s tradition for the team to eat at their favorite steakhouse at every start of the school year. the team may bring their friends and significant others to this gathering, but they all keep in mind to keep this gathering not too big and still quite intimate.
“hi y/n!!!” the team greets her, aubrey signaling her to sit beside nika and her. nika turned to y/n, and asked more personal questions about her life. they only got to talk during the interviews, and nika was genuinely willing to be friends with y/n.
they got more comfortable with each other, they found out they both liked rock climbing, building legos, and had mystery movies as their comfort movies.
while talking, one member of the team, kk, got curious. “so.. what’s the deal between aubrey and y/n? we didn’t know that y/n would be here, but don’t worry boo we’re all glad you’re here” kk asked.
everyone except for one
“oh nooo. y/n and i arent like that. yeah we’re roommates and we got close to each other but she’s not my type, don’t even know if she’s for the girls! i brought her here since she’s been too deep into her research. she needs to eez down” aubrey declined the allegation, y/n agreeing to her.
“only answer this if your comfortable with it but.. are you for the girls?” kk’s curiousity got stronger. “oh no its fine kk! yeah i am gay, just dont have a label. but i have never had a girlfriend before” y/n answered with a smile.
“OOOOH!” kk and the others exclaimed. “so what are you looking for in a partner? we could hook you up!” ice asked.
“i want my personal athletic or active, i dont know, they just have that aura. i also want my person to be quite smart.. i dont know guys its just attractive to me! and i hope theyre love language is words of affirmation. im a sucker for that” y/n shamefully answers.
“you know y/n, maybe your just talking about me” kk teased. “NOOOO”s and “EEEWWW”s were said after that, laughter all around.
after a wonderful night and dinner, it was time to head to an open basketball court. the uconn team loves to hoop after a good night out. its their only time to really have fun with their sport, no rules or anything. the steakhouse was just walking distance to the court, hence the team leaving their cars first at the parking area.
as they go into the court, y/n was smiling with the rest of the team, until she sees paige. paige gave her an eye roll, which made y/n feel quite annoyed and uncomfortable.
the rest of the team wanted to see y/n play, so she did, she was against paige, qadence, nika, and ice. y/n was having fun, but whenever she makes in contact with the ball and paige was beside her, paige kept on nudging her and slightly hitting her. paige was rough, which was not usual for her especially when they were just playing for fun.
the others felt paige’s competitiveness, and it didn’t feel right. kk calmed paige down. “paige whats your problem? she doesn’t play. that was foul” kk asked. paige just scoffed and ignored kk. kk was for sure that paige was hiding something, and she would have to ask next time when paige is more open to talk about it.
the team decided to call it a day. while they were walking back to the parking area, paige was dribbling a basketball, and started to throw it up— which led to another “accident.”
the ball goes forward and hits y/n again, but this time it was on her shoulder. y/n looked back to see who threw the ball, only to see that it was the blonde once again.
“what the fuck is your problem?”

!!COD HC ~ Meeting the fam at dinner!!
Someone asked ~
Ilragnotessitore
What about the 141 meeting the significant other's family? (bonus points if the significant other comes from a different country) (like, I'm italian and I can't stop thinking about Ghost getting forced fed by my grandmaXD)
John Price - 
He has been with you for a while, and is ready for this next step.
 He asked you what your family likes just so he could get them a little something.
 Made sure to bring his best cigars, too.
 After you told him about your Grandma borderline force feeding, he made sure to only have light snacks until dinner.
 He underestimated the amount of food she can make, and how quickly too.
 If there are kids, they will LOVE him. They like his facial hair, but his voice freaks them out a little. 
He’s great with kids, and entertained them when the parents got stressed.
Dinner!!
He was VERY hungry, but your grandma will remain undefeated. 
He tried to tap out after the fifth plate, but your grandma wouldn’t take it.
“You are a big man! You need big portions. Eat! Eat!”
He ate slowly, but did finish the plate.
Grandma approved :) 
Kate Laswell - (She is gay so female reader here both F&TF) (TW - hints at homophobia) (readers family supports gay rights)
She is nervous.
Your parents support gay rights, but she still expects some kinds of retaliation. 
Her experiences have been bad when it comes to family and supporting gay rights, but as long as you hold her and remind her that she is safe, she will manage.
She is very formal and stiff at first, and your family understands. 
The kids help her relax by making her play Just Dance. Not really relaxing, but she is less stiff when dancing.
Dinner!!
She takes her time to eat, but your grandma sneaks some food onto her plate after every other bite.
Kate loves it, it feels like something she's always wanted, but never had.
Well, loved it. She is kinda small and is bloated at this point.
Grandma made sure to prep many bags of food for you two! 
Johnny “Soap” MacTavish  - 
He is PUMPED.
He is 100% a family man, and loves talking about everyone's family.
The kids asked him to watch Shrek with them, that was his first time watching it.
Quotes that movie for the rest of the dinner, as an inside joke for the kids.
Deff plans on thanking every generation in that house for making you.
He thought he would be fiiiine if he ate a few small snacks before dinner.
He found out real quick.
Dinner!!
He ate three and a half plates before trying to give up.
Grandma flew to poor old Johnny before he could finish leaning back in his chair away from the plate.
Soap pulled tupperware out of his oddly big coat pockets and plopped them next to his plate with a big smile.
Grandma loves him!
Simon “Ghost” Riley - 
It’s hard for him. He’s never had a family dinner like this before and doesn’t know how to act.
As long as you stick with him we will be fine.
It was a big decision, but he wants to meet your family without his mask on.
He will talk, but it will be short. Right to the point. 
At least at first.
Dinner!!
He is a bottomless pit, being 6’4.
He feels weird eating in front of strangers with no mask, but quickly shakes it off when he sees your smile. Or tries to at least. 
He eats fast, thanks to basic training giving them 10 minutes to eat each meal.
Your Grandma LOVES this! 
She is basically his hand at this point, he acts like he hates it after dinner when it’s just you and him.
But he loves it.
It feels like he finally has a grandma of his own, and that he has a family of his own.
Grandma still won in the end and got him to tap.
Kyle “Gaz” Garrick - 
A lot like soap.
Gaz loves family and treats yours as his own. 
He plays with the kids and reads to them, and teaches them big words calmly. 
Was the best at LEGO anything, game or building set.
Also begged to play with the LEGOS a little longer before dinner.
Dinner!!
He doesn’t eat as much as the others, but tries to eat as much as he can. 
Goes into detail about why everything is so good, Grandma is flattered!
Grandma got him a few extra plates with other foods on it, he did the same thing.
Gaz 100% showed his rizz Grandma, he didn’t try to, it just happened.
Grandma looooves him!
Alejandro Vargas - 
He brought his family to meet yours.
And man did he plan it out! 
It was outside, at a park with a ton of tables and chairs. Pinataas from trees and two tables full of food and plates, from your family and his.
There were coolers full of drinks, and the kids know to not try to sneak a beer when they are digging up a soda from under all the ice.
Alejandro brought many toys for games, and was the reff for every game.
He deff scared the kids when he played tag with them.
Dinner!!
This man ate a lot. He was out of energy from tag and marco polo, he could eat a cow.
And a cow he ate.
It was like a war between the grandmas. They both made so much food that was so good that it was hard for Alejandro to pick what to eat.
He got a plate and filled it with food from both tables. 
Kids got the drinks for the adults before they sat to eat.
You couldn’t find a bottle opener for your drink, so Alejandro opened it with a lighter. Like it was nothing.
Grandma loved seeing him eat her food over and over along with his grandmas, and the grandmas deff traded recipes after the dinner.
Both grandmas love Alejandro!
Konig - 
Konig was VERY shy, he wants to meet them but thinks that he will mess it all up. 
Unlike Ghost, Konig keeps his mask on. He can still eat with it so didn’t find it an issue.
He made sure to make a new one just for tonight!
You told your family about his mask and they didn’t mind. 
When they first saw him, they were shocked. He was so tall!
Grandma made him put up pictures where she couldn’t reach, and had him clean some cobwebs.
He loved running around with the kids holding them like an airplane, he made the noises while they laughed.
Dinner!!
He ate a lot. I mean, more than anyone knew was humanly possible. 
He asked your grandma for another plate whenever he was done with his food. The portions were so small for him!
Despite that, Grandma always wins.
She didn’t have that many leftovers, but still had a few boxes of food for you and him to take.
He ate half of it when he got home. 
I think we all know how grandma feels about him. :)

Little Peter Parker hc’s!!
Tumblr media
General:
•He either regresses to 0-3 or 4-6
•His caregivers are Tony,Ned and aunt May
•But he also has other people that take care of him a lot when he’s small,like Mj,Happy,Steve & Wanda
•Pretty much all of the avengers will not hesitate to take care of him tho
•His favorite stuffie is a monkey and he carries it with him absolutely everywhere
•The only people that know about him being a regressor are in his closer inner circle.It’s something he likes to keep private
•Before he told anyone about him being little,he used to absolutely neglect his sleep for it.At night he’d already be outside spidey-ing,and instead of napping in the afternoon he’d use it as his little time and watch cartoons and play
•But he told people and they helped him get a healthy schedule for it
When he’s 0-3:
•Absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs.
•The Land Before Time is his absolute favorite movie
•He’s fussy with food a lot.He drinks up bottles and eats food he’s familiar with without making much of a mess and behaving really good,but the second someone tries to feed him something he doesn’t know,he will be a mess.He closes his mouth shut,cries,and if he keeps being pressured he’ll throw a whole tantrum.It could even be food he already knows just in a different shape,nope,nuh-uh,he’s not eating that (in the end he’ll think it’s yummy and eat even more off his cg’s plate)
•Sometimes sleeping is very difficult for him.He needs lots of reassurance,kisses,cuddles,a warm bottle,a nightlight,a bedtime story or lullaby and his stuffie
•He also gets lots of bad dreams,so often less than half the night is spent in his own bed and the most of it in his cg’s
•He’s a curious baby,whenever something happens he’s gotta be there and see
•Sometimes walking can be a little hard for him,but he crawls absolutely everywhere (luckily he doesn’t know how to use his spidey powers when he’s that young…)
•He loves the ocean sooo much,so aquarium trips are a must!!
•Playground trips are always great too,that boy could play in the sand for hours in pouring rain and he’d still be all smiles
•Wherever he goes,his stuffie Monkey has to come with.It’s not a want,it’s a need.If it doesn’t come,he doesn’t either
•Loves Bluey!!His favorite episodes are “Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound” and “Sleepytime” (Seriously tho,Sleepytime is the best episode)
When he’s 4-6:
•He’s a very creative kid,give him some legos and he’ll build an entire castle
•He likes to color!!Especially with crayons
•Still obsessed with dinosaurs.Although with this age range,he prefers to watch the jurassic park/world movies over the land before time
•Loves loves loves superheroes so much!He has an iron man Halloween costume that he wears like every day
•He’s a good kid,he doesn’t break rules…but he does like to push them a bit (a lot)
•Will randomly drop fun facts all the time,like “Did you know that Australia is wider than the moon?”
• And how could I forget,he is OBSESSED with Star Wars (Me too,Petey,me too)
•Has multiple lightsabers (thanks to Tony,these things are so expensive),his room is full of Star Wars posters,he has a massive R2-D2 pillow,and on Halloween he likes to dress up as Chewbacca
•Will also reference Star Wars at any chance he gets.Does anyone (but Ned) get it?No.Will he still continue?Absolutely
•Also,MOVIE NIGHTS.Like,every movie night it’s a decision between dinosaur movies and Star Wars,and believe me when I say that is a very hard decision.Sometimes he’ll just sit in front of two dvds for half an hour just to decide which one to watch
•Discovered that he can stick to things.Luckily he doesn’t know about the webs,but every now and then his cg will just hear giggling above them and when they look up he’ll just be chilling on the ceiling
I have so many more oh my god

Ring-ring- ring- “Hello?”
“Hey is this Y/n?” Wally asks, I couldn’t help but chuckle at this guy’s stutter.
“The one and only,”
“Hello! Um, how was your day?”
“Good what about yours?”
“It was also good, though I didn’t do much I went to the store to get some more apples. Howdy had a sale, but he limited what I could buy.
“Oh, and why’s that?” “I may or may not like apples a little too much?” I raise an eyebrow at this but end up chuckling instead.
“Wait how many did you buy?” Wally was quite for a minute, leaving me suspect more than the usual.
“20.”
“You bought 20 apples?”
“Yes,”
“Are you going to make something with them?” I ask pushing myself on the bench now, I didn’t want my feet getting hurt. I was very curious of why he would by so many apples, that would last my family a while even made apples pie every day.
“No, I don’t really eat them.”
“Then why did you buy so many?”
“I like to just stare at them? I know it’s weird, but there just so shiny. They look very pretty; the red ones are my favourite honestly. But the green one’s are still alright, their also fun to draw and paint.”
“How long have you had this obsession with apples for?”
“Ever since I could remember? I know it’s weird but-“
“I know it’s weird but-“wally was cut off by the girls chuckles, he was currently in his Pj’s in his special red chair next to this phone. It was the only one that he could call her on, it was late at night for him so he had to remember to remain quite. But he was worried that she would consider his obsession with Apples weird.
“No, I don’t think it’s that weird, people can have things like that. I know I hyper fixate on Lego’s or movies!”
“What type of movies do you like?”
“I’m a sucker for romance and Comedy! But I do love a good horror!” Wally chuckles and pushes back his hair a little.
“those are complete different genre’s! how do you even watch a horror?”  y/n gasps dramatically at him.
“Horrors are good! You need to give them a try okay! they’re not that bad.” She defends herself, Wally chuckles at how defensive she was over her precious movie genre.
“What’s your favourite then? Mr I’m too good for Horror’s”
“Hey now! I never said I was too good for them!”
“Oh? Then what’s so bad with them?”
“I never said they where bad, I just said how do you watch them! Their so creepy! My favourite genre is action and western! Though I also love myself a romance movie.”
“Ooh so your scared of them, are you? That it. And you’re a cowboy’s kind of guy huh?”
“Always have been, isn’t it cool how they ride their horses off into the sunset? With their true love.”
“Mmm, I guess, I never really watch many cowboy movies.”
“My favourite would have to be big jack! It’s good you should watch it sometime!” Wally suggests.
“Hmmm I’ve never heard of that movie before, I’ll have to watch it.” Just at the suggestion of her watching his favourite movie, just because he said it was his favourite movie. He kicks his feet a little out of excitement, what was going on with him? He never acts this way. Julie and Frank sometimes act this way! But not him! he was always to cool one! The calm, collected, charmer of the group!
“You’ll like it I promise!”
“I hope so, anyways. You never told me how old you where, or what you wanted to ask my- I mean Harrison and Maggie.” Wally eyes widen, what the heck was he meant to tell her? He was in puppet years 20, but in human years? Who knew! Hell, he didn’t even know what decade it was over their he could be 30! No maybe even 100! And what would he say about the question as well?
‘Oh yes! I just wanted to know if he we could complete the spell? To make us alive so we could continue the show! And why they were trapped in this world? Before all of this, they where in this world, but then Harrison completed a spell. One that made them come to life there was more to the story, but how the heck was he just going to info dump you like that? How could he?
He might scare you away, and he loves talking to you so far! Love it a strong but it truly it what he think this feeling was. a love of a friend? He wanted to get to know you more before he would say anything. Hell maybe even some how, some way bring you into his world? He didn’t know how it would work or how but it was something in his imagination.
“Wally you there?”
“Oh yes! Sorry I just dropped the phone HAHA! Um I’m 20, how old are you?”
“18 turning 19 soon”.
“Oh, when’s your birthday?” Wally asks, he was very glad you forgot the other question or had moved on from it.
“(date and  month of birth) 1996! What about yours?”
… Wally didn’t have a birthday. Well, the year of his birth doesn’t count, but what would his birthday be?
“Oh I don’t really celebrate my birthday-““WHAT! YOU DON’T CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY?!” Wally pulls the phone away from his face as she shouts into the phone.  
“No?” what he said was meant to be a statement, but really sounded like a question.
“I mean do what you want to do, but have you ever celebrated your birthday? Like in your life?” She asks more calmly, Wally pauses thinking back, they didn’t real do Birthdays here, no one had one. They Did Christmas, Halloween and easter! Heck even Saint Patrick’s Day. But never birthdays.
“No?” he whispers into the phone, it stayed quiet. The house was quiet, Home was asleep. So, Wally did not want to wake her up. Otherwise, he would have been sent to bed.
“Dam, Is it your religion?”
“What? Oh no! I just never have? Hehe sorry if that’s a little weird-“ “No it’s not weird! I just, well it just surprised me sorry.”
“Why are you apologising? you did nothing wrong.” Wally tries to comfort her. He honestly had no idea what he was doing though.
“I don’t know>” silence filled the call again. The air filled with so much tension you could cut it like a birthday cake. They both wanted to say something but what?  Wally wants to say something, but what? He didn’t have much he could talk about with her; I mean it was different from talking with the neighbours.
“So, your 20 and own a house?”
“Oh! Yes, it’s small but nice a house. It has a decent yard.”
“that’s nice, I’m surprised you where able to get a house in this economy!”
“well I inherited it, from a great grandma?” Wally was lying, he knew it was never good to lie. But a little white lie wouldn’t do too much harm do?
“did you know her?”
Son of a-
“No, not really! But I kept the house the same. Nothing really changed haha!” He says he hears the girl chuckle a little, but then a small yawn escapes her lips.
“sorry, I’m just a little tired.”
“no it’s no problem. You should probably head to bed, you got plans tomorrow?”
“mum’s making me go shopping with my baby brother, so I’m most likely Going to be warn out. But I’ll tell you if anything interesting happens?” Wally smile grew, she was the one who wanted to call again. And he was very happy she was enjoying it so much she wanted to call again, maybe a little too happy?
“sure, would you like me to call you earlier?”
“I don’t mind, thanks for the chat it was really nice.”
“Same, you’re quite the interesting person Y/n.” he loved hearing her giggle into the phone, and how she yawned again into the phone. UGH!
“Okay then, good night, Wally~” her tired voice sang.
“Night Y/n, sleep well”. When she hangs up, wally instaintly stands up and runs around happily jumping around. Getting all of his excitement out, that was until home woke up thanks to the noises he was making and caught him with the curtains.
“CREEEK!!!”
“sorry home, I just got excited! I’ll be quieter! Sorry home"

Barbie (2023)
Tumblr media
2023’s Barbie turned out to be a pretty big deal. Not only is it Warner Bros. Studios’ highest-grossing film ever, it also received rave reviews and was directed by Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote it with Noah Baumbach. Some say it proves that art is dead, that the bad guys have won, that even the artists with the most pristine integrity can be bought and sold like plastic dolls by soulless corporations. I say it proves there are no bad premises, only bad executions. When someone talented really cares about a project, they can turn even what some might call a commercial into a great, memorable, stylish and surprisingly thoughtful piece of art.
In Barbieland, all of the Barbies, Kens, and other Mattel dolls live in harmony - playing at the beach, working at their prestigious jobs and doing everything the children in the real world have them do. When Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie as “Barbie”) suddenly develops bad breath, and flat feet, then begins thinking about death, she travels to the real world to confront the child who’s been playing with her. Along for the ride is Beach Ken (Ryan Gosling as “Ken”). While Barbie is horrified to discover that the real world is not the ideal matriarchy she imagined, Ken is fascinated.
The movie Barbie most resembles is 2014’s The Lego Movie. Like it, Barbie is a frequently goofy and surreal comedy featuring a beloved children’s brand. It is also colorful, with many stylish visual flares that prove the people in charge have a deep and loving appreciation for the property. When Barbie leaves her bedroom to eat breakfast, she doesn’t take the stairs; she floats down to the ground floor. It’s because that's the way the dolls move when little girls play with them. If you look at the movie, you’ll see many of the various Barbies Mattel has sold over the years appear in cameo roles or roles you think are cameos (but turn out to be much more). Some of the Kens and Barbies we see aren’t even official Barbies but are part of the doll’s history, such as Kate McKinnon's “Weird Barbie” - the Barbie whose hair got cut up, has broken hips and weird “makeup” applied all over her face. Like The Lego Movie, Barbie has the occasional musical number and eventually leaves the made-up play world to visit the real world - a way for it to become more than just an ultra-colorful, super stylish adventure with costumes that are sure to win it awards.
There’s a lot to unpack in this film. Some of it you might anticipate from Barbie's trip to our world. Every 10 years or so, a mob with torches and pitchforks rises up to condemn Barbie for projecting unrealistic beauty standards upon little girls but never before has the character of Barbie actually been confronted with those criticisms; it’s always been the people at Mattel who’ve been on the receiving end. Obviously, in reality, it’s because Barbie isn’t real, but this movie asks “What if she WAS real? How would she take these criticisms? What would she say about them?” I don’t know how Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach did it but they convinced Mattel to all sorts of things I would’ve never expected. The movie also makes some strong points - all while being funny and going in unexpected directions.
Barbie is one of the most memorable movies in recent years. Even if you don’t remember the exact song that played during the Beach Battle, you’ll remember what the choreography was like while it played. You’ll remember Margot Robbie’s outfits, the visuals showing how her and Ryan Gosling’s characters travel from Barbieworld to our world, what the offices at Mattel look like, the wonderfully bizarre interpretation of its board of directors, the sets, Barbie's interactions with Gloria (America Ferrera) & her daughter Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) and the way it made you laugh. It’s got so much going on you could rewatch it several times and find something new in the visuals or the dialogue. There’s a point made about what role the Kens have in society, particularly at the end regarding how much Mattel/the rest of the world cares about them that still has me smiling long after the movie is over.
My only criticisms towards Barbie are that a) it probably could’ve been slimmed by about 10 minutes and b) it’s so successful that we’re all but guaranteed to have a sequel and I can’t imagine a follow-up being as fresh and satisfying as this original. I know there are people who will not be interested despite all the positive word of mouth. To them, I say you’re missing out. This is a great film that just happens to be about a plastic doll made by a giant corporation. It does so much with its premise, that I'm still in shock. (Theatrical version on the big screen, August 11, 2023)

For me it’s very similar to the other anon. I’m turning 25 this year and I’ve still not got my bachelors degree because I had to quit my first go around at uni since i physically couldn’t learn for my exams. Granted it was compounded by other issues such as depression and anxiety but i genuinely believe that a not insignificant part of those issues come from the fact that adhd makes it near impossible to organise myself (unmedicated btw).
Seeing this on my feed rn is kind of ironic since even though im in my third year of a degree that I actually enjoy now, I literally dropped out of an exam that I was supposed to write today cuz I couldn’t revise. It’s not like I didn’t have the time and I’ve known for weeks about the deadline, but with every assignment or exam I push my own boundaries further and further back until I can’t do it anymore. Last semester I crammed 84 pages worth of notes in under 48h, an exam mind you that I’d pushed back over a year and was literally my last shot or I’d not be allowed to continue with my studies. I barely slept, I was throwing up, but I somehow passed, and with a good grade at that. Since then my brain is like, well you managed to do that that one time so you can totally afford to wait until the DAY before an exam to finish it. Or write a 15 page paper in a day.
And you know what, maybe I can. But the problem is the cost. It’s killing me. I find that it’s also very isolating cuz generally people don’t have a lot of empathy for this? So I end up pulling back from everyone including my best friends until I’m at a point again where I can be around people without letting on how incredibly bad I’m doing. Or I just straight up lie so they don’t know that I’ve not done the things i said I would do.
And all this is not just within the framework of academia. It’s also impacted my wellbeing in a more general sense - cooking for myself is hard because I tend to not listen to my body’s cues until I’m on the verge of passing out cuz i forgot to eat or drink, or by the time I’m hungry I still have to make a meal so I end up ordering something cuz it’s faster. Same with showering daily or brushing your teeth. Getting any routine started in general and sticking with it. I’ve been meaning to start exercising again but I keep delaying it for no reason. I’ve worked out regularly in the past so I know it’s something that I enjoy and that makes me feel good but despite that I’m still stuck in this place of inertia? It’s awful.
I’ve talked to some friends who also have adhd about it and the inability to start something cuz it isn’t instantly gratifying or that doesn’t align with an interest but is an obligation is quite common. Can I binge 7 seasons of a reality show in a week if it really interests me? Hell yeah! (I do watch everything at 2x speed cuz everyone talks too slow lmao but still). Will i fly through a massive book and literally forego sleeping if it means getting through more of it if im really invested? Absolutely. 1500 puzzle? Massive Lego set? Yep! Taking notes from a textbook for an assignment? Literally kill me right now.
I’m sorry for this long ass message and idek if you’re gonna read all of this but yeah just wanted to share my experience. Adhd is absolutely not quirky or a superpower and I wish there was a better understanding of it out there because it makes me my own worst enemy every day.
Ugh anon i feel you so much. I have skipped on many an exam during my bachelors because i just couldn't concentrate, focus or start revision. It's completely miserable to literally see the time go by where you feel the stress but you just cannot get your brain to start on what you need to do.
Any time i told teachers and now colleagues that i work well with deadlines i get told i'm not motivated enough because if i was i wouldn't need deadlines. That's just so unfair! My brain is graving dopamine, it's not laziness that my brain does this, it's literally just ADHD.
This is the same reason why your brain (usually) jumps into action when that crippling anxiety hits, because you're so close to a deadline that your brain can smell the dopamine.
The only reason that i finished my 6 month thesis is because i had many mini deadlines during those 6 months. I felt the anxiety to finish a part of it every month and i had a teacher who was very nice and gave you compliments when you did (DOPAMINE). If i didn't have that i would still be writing my thesis now.
ADHD is so misunderstood by so many people. It affects every part of your life and the negative consequences are so much bigger and impactful than the potential positive outcomes. I mean yeah i'm creative and can think fast, awesome but that doesn't make up for the anxiety, stress and grief you go through anytime your brain just doesn't want to start something.

KID!LUCI TEEN!LUCI INVADE THE MORNINGSTAR HOUSEHOLD
what a wack title, i know, but bear with me here, bear with me.
(forgot to tag: @asmo-ds)
“Belphie. We’ve devised the perfect plan!” Satan shouts, slamming the papers he had in his hands on the table, triumphantly.
The younger demon slouches in his chair and lets out a big sigh of relief. “Finally.” He sighs. “We’ve gone through all possible ways lucifer could react, and how to counteract them. Im so tired. Being a Lucifer hater requires work.” He groaned once again. He slung his hands onto the table and laid his head down as a reward for his work.
“It does require work, and you’ve done it.” Satan says, patting his younger sibling on the head before he himself sits on his own chair and sighs, as he’s been standing and shouting for way too long.
These two villainous brothers have a reputation for messing up and horsing around woth Lucifer and his image. They even have a squad: The anti-lucifer league. Today was a special day, as the A.L.L had devised the perfect plan, almost as perfect and Lucifer himself!
What was their plan? To make Lucifer into a child, or maybe even teen again. They wanted to see their big brothers reaction as his face twisted in horror to see his prepubescent body re-kindling after so many years of passing that terrible stage.
Even if this plan… might not work… It was utter glee to be basking in the loads of papers that the two had written on and sketched on for the past two hours. It was more like a brother bonding exercise, however thats ironic considering they were about to break off more of their bond with their eldest brother.
Lucifer. Prickly, uptight, stick in his butthole kind of guy. He never missed a beat when it came to calling anybody out on their mistakes. It can be helpful at times to help people grow, but also, it could be really… really annoying.
Like at the dinner table. Where everyone is walking on legos.
“Mammon, sit upright you look like a shrimp.” Lucifer snarls, making Mammon groan and exaggerate his “back-fixing”.
They’ve only been sitting at the dinner table for maybe ten minutes, and Lucifer has already jabbed all of them with their own, personal Lucifer hate fuel.
The brothers, at some point at least, really admired their big brother Lucifer. He’d listen to them, help them, even simply give them a hug if they needed it. Now… Lucifer was nothing like that. Now Lucifer was the reason most of them had issues, even if the pride demon did say he still loved them, it never felt that way. and yes, Lucifer did have his own problems he had to face, yet his little brothers could not justify his harsh behavior to them.
The beating,
The verbal abuse
The gaslighting.
Was perfect Lucifer…. really perfect? is that what perfect is? Or maybe it’s that Lucifer just doesn’t love his family like he used to.
“Beel, stop eating your food like that it’s Improper.”
Another jab. Lucifer doesn’t even show hope that he’ll change. He’ll just be the prickly, stick in the butt guy that he is…. forever.
Silence.
Lucifer was in a particularly bad mood today. Nobody knows why or what happened, and even less do they know why he’s taking it out on them.
If he’s going to do it to them, they might as well do it back.
It’s time to strike, Satan signals to belphie using a head nod. Belphegor nods and slowly gets up getting under the table to draw a pentagram on a paper that he had been keeping in his pocket for this moment.
He strutted up to Lucifer, gaining many suspicious glares from the elder. Using quick motion, he slapped Lucifers face with the paper while Satan hurriedly taped it only the ravenheads forehead.
Quickly reciting the spell, and watching Lucifers whole body glow in one swift motion was abnormal, and alarming to all of the brothers, as they gasped and stood back to spectate.
Glowing, wooshing and wind ambience projects from Lucifers body as the spell does it’s job. After a minute of bright seizure setting lights, the process stops, and Lucifer is back, sitting on his chair. Except now, he’s glaring. Angrily.
The brothers glance at each other anxiously.
Mission failed.
Now they are all in trouble.
“Satan. Belphegor.” Lucifers stern voice rung throughout the room. The two brothers flinched at the calling of their whole names in that frightening tone. “You two have the audacity to hit me in my face, put a powerful hex on me only to have it not work?! Embarassing! The disrespect and disgusting approach…. it was almost like I taught you two nothing about manners, you two are so dis—“
“…..what in the high heavens of the realms just happened??” A lighter, still deep voice spoke.
“I think I was just rebirthed…” another higher voice spoke.
Two familiar looking black haired boys stood from the brothers’ dining room floor. There was a taller one, wearing elegant white and gold garments. While the other, shorter one looked like a park ranger on a mission, flaunting the same colors.
They stood up in a bewildered manner. They looked at each other, then the brothers, then their immediate surroundings. No words were spoken out of anybodies mouths until the brothers made connections.
“w-wait…. Lucifer?!” Leviathan yelled.
Yes. There stood three Lucifers in one room. Grumpy Adult Lucifer, Confused Teen Lucifer, and Barely concious kid Lucifer. What a nightmare. Even so, Belphie and Satan were proud to see their spell…. technically work. I mean it’s doing the job the original spell was supposed to do so….. it’ll pass.
“Levi?” Teen Luce asked, slightly pointing at the older leviathan. Levi was not quite an adult yet in his world.
“Who’s that?” Younger Luce asked, as Leviathan did not exist at all yet in his world.
“No way.” Asmodeus said. “This like, cannot be real.”
“Unfortunately it is. Thanks to two of you.” Lucifer said venomously, glaring at his little brother cultprits.
“I don’t know anyone in this room actually.” Young Luce chirped again. This was unsettling for the little man, really.
“Is that future me?” Teen Luce pointed at Lucifer. “Or future us, rather.”
“Wowww…. I ain’t seen Luci like this in like…. one million years!” Mammon said, holding his head exaggerantly in shock.
“Mammon?” Teen Luce questioned again.
“Mammon, you’re so old!” Little Luce said again.

just found someone who makes monster hunter lego builds do NOT speak to me im. this. GRGRGRG
anyways heres some gifs i have of monsters cuz im in love with this series forever and always (super long ramble SFJKS ive been writing this for hours)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
odogaron + ebony odo is like.... you dont understand. thats me i kin so many monsters from MH its insane like.. thats literally me nothing reflects me better LOOK AT THEM. rathalos, odogaron, nargacuga like any red scary thing i resonate with deep in my soul its insane
Tumblr media
this one is one of my headmates favorites. shrieking legi really came thru when he was having a bad time and i love this for him. ITS JUST LIKE... so many of the monsters resonate with us on such personal levels, that its hard to even explain. i am selfish, and i do view monster hunter as my game (got that autism special) like these are my creatures they were made for me
REAL TALK THO, these two were genuinely actually made for me look at this shit
Tumblr media Tumblr media
unknown (black flying wyvern) and valstrax my beloveds. fucking god tier
the fact that i already resonate with the rathalos so hard, and it turns out theres a black and red edgier cool version of it/????like are you insane when i discovered this thing i was. SO UNWELL IN MY CHANNEL ON DISCORD i literally rambled about it for AN HOUR STRAIGHT. then when i found out about valstrax i rambled about that one for an hour too SKFJS like wow they are so cool. autism is real
Tumblr media
also have this one, xeno'jiiva is so. MHW was my first MH game (say what you will) and god damn. im gonna be real idk if id be so into it if it wasnt for MHW, cuz like.... the main appeal of the entire game series to me is the monsters themselves. like im. when i first started i was TOO SCARED TO FIGHT THE GREAT JAGRAS (yknow. the first large monster you fight 😭😭 like the 3rd quest. insane) because ive never been into fighting games and having something large PURSUE ME didnt sound pleasant
crazy that i went from being too scared to play it again to LITERALLY playing for 72 hours almost STRAIGHT with minimal pee and sleep breaks, and giving myself carpal fucking tunnel cuz i was just. obsessed. AUTISM IS REAL
went from couldnt stand 10 minutes of it to 400 hours in game SKFJSD
and i would do it again bitch!!!
so what im SAYING. alright. is that im not a fighter in games (well NOW i am, but before i super wasnt) but what drew me in was how i could just.. watch. how i could see all the big scary monsters sleep and eat and walk around and fight eachother. how i could get their tracks, listen to their sounds, ETC. like it was so. IT WAS THRILLING and ive never been more in love
like for context my first special interest is fnaf and i wouldnt be anything like myself if i never got into fnaf like life changing shit. but i gotta say, i mean. ive played the fnaf games and i love the story and EVERYTHING this is not a diss on my first home!!!! but i played MHW to the point of exhaustion, to where i needed to have an arm brace and even then despite the HORRIBLE PAIN in my wrist, i still kept playing
i played so much i literally managed to rub the s and w letters of my siblings keyboard KSJFSF like it was for real. i miss that, like a lot. i dont play as much anymore because i mean. i have it on my laptop. my laptop is a gaming laptop and it can run!! but its better for my
yknow i dont think i have an actual reason and im literally about to cry thinking about it SKFSFJ the good computer with the good graphics and running is my siblings and id need permission, yknow how it is. PLUS im a bit stuck? i need an urugaan ruby for my barioth mission lmao but ill get there
monster hunter world is so beautiful. the environments are fucking stunning, the visual upgrade for the monsters was INSANE and just watching them be animals? it brings me so much joy KSJSJSJ
one of my favorites is the rotten vale, which is funny cuz i remember the first time i ever went there i was so. PARANOID. i use sound with pretty much everything i play since my eyes might not track everything thats happening, so hearing the ambience for the vale freaked me out so much, i stayedat the camp for SO LONG and good thing too cuz the radobaan makes its way down that path and i was shook SKFJSF
also the big fucking dalamadur skeleton in the vale is so. UGHHHH
i love horror and rot and decay!!! its frightening its unsettling but even still the vale is such a necessary part of the ecosystem!!! like wow monsters come there to DIE? are youINSANE
Tumblr media
(dalamadur is like one of the biggest monsters for reference. the whole upper part of the vale is made of its skeleton cuz its a big snake its so UGHHH)
also the???? STOMACH ACID POOL?
Tumblr media
they were cooking bro,,,,, such a gorgeous and unsettling environment goddd
like GOD i cant think of anything better, the story for MHW is so good man. the tracker said "its an ecological marvel" and i took that personally (i repeat that so much about random shit its not even funny how long ive been doing that for)
or how like... any of the docile monsters (tobi kadachi, banbaro, kulu ya ku, ETC) i genuinely if i go on expedition, and i see theres a docile monster in one of the locales, ill go there and just follow them around the ENTIRE TIME SFKSFS
heres SEVERAL pics of me with banbaros at different times KSJFS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
that isnt even all of them with JUST banbaro 💀💀💀 its my favorite activity
and sometimes i get hit with the banbaro / nightshade paolumu / coral pukei combo!!!! thats a triple docile whammy!!!!! thriving
Tumblr media
also heres a cute viper tobi shot :] love viper tobi
also also i cant believe i never said anything yet but VAAL HAZAK??? my actual liege look at this mf
Tumblr media
MY LORD!!! vaal is so fucking cool man. and the KICKER??? DOCILE
whenever i do this quest i do just follow it around for a while (which. ive had to do this quest A LOT cuz i thought i get vitality crystals from it (yknow cuz i got some from it) so i have probably 100% killed more vaal hazak than any of the other elder dragons SKFJSF
vaal hazak is so cool cuz its covered in rotten meat and uses the effluvium (corpse gas) as its like. life source. it pulls excess effluvium from the vale into itself and expels it when theres not enough, so its keeping the ecosystem tame its so cool UGHH
also one of its moves it plays dead its so fucked up itll fall over like you've knocked it over and then just lay there but you hear its inhale and it looks up and BLASTS YOU with its effluvia gas beam (WHICH. THAT THING HURTS!!!!!! for real the effluvium attack is so. plus it also halves yr health? like if vaal hits you with that shit itll give you miasma or whatever and it HALFS YR HEALTH BAR and you gotta eat a nulberry to negate it
im not one for switching shit around in my like item bar tho (MAINLY cuz most the time ive played MHW was with my siblings mouse and its scroll bare was broken so swapping items was hard) so i just put on like 3 effluvia resistance gems and it cant give me miasma. problem solved SKFSJF
i did get so tired of fighting it cuz yknw its a hard fight its an elder dragon, but i will say like the MUSIC? thats one of the things like. when we fought megan in the forest, they gave us battle music and THAT is why i kicked ass and abandoned all my fear, monster hunter instincts kicked in and i tanked alright like it was NOTHING, battle music just hits different
vaal hazak theme is so fucking good!!!! "keeper of hades" ARE YOU INSANE? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND????? i cant believe this shit!!!!!!!!

answer all of the artist questions or u a coward
WELL FUCK. OK
1. Art programs you have but don't use? Medibang Paint is the only one I can think of- everything happens in Procreate now!
2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)? definitely left, but right/front aren't too bad
3. What ideas come from when you were little? I'm not 100% sure I understand this one? My fairy fixation goes way back tho
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw? Boys.
5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself. Probably a 90/10 split, tbh? At least 80/20. I don't post much of my art
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it) I feel like I don't really experience this with drawing? With writing and character creation definitely, but I feel like I'm conscious of all my biggest drawing inspos
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate? Hmmm. Legos
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in? Camp Cauldron
Tumblr media
9. What are your file name conventions?
Tumblr media
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw? Probably swishy skirts!
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what? Just my regular music
12. Easiest part of body to draw? Arms, probably
13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing? I'm also not sure about this one? To me admiration goes hand in hand with liking... I respect a lot of artists whose work I'm not into though
14. Any favorite motifs? -patrick voice- is gender a motif?
15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth) At home mainly, sometimes at work or just wherever I happen to be. I'm trying to spend more time in Third Places
16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing? I can't think of anything? I'm getting better at enjoying every part of art
17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what? No? I use my hands to draw
18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken? Not that many tbh! I've always been very careful with my art things. A handful of pencils, surely
19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.) Probably plants!
20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy? HANDS I love drawing hands
21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways? Art styles unlike my own are my favorites! Jamie Hewlett, @tanglefootcomic, @ampreh, and @maruti-bitamin to name a few
22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any? I always do some light warmups/hand and arm stretches
23. Do you use different layer modes? Yes ofc, great shortcut for shading and lighting
24. Do your references include stock images? I don't have like, a set reference folder, I just google what I need. So yeah, that usually includes stock images!
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by? Scott Pilgrim
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended? I don't post enough for this to happen to me B)
27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with? I warm up with spirals, connect the dots, and snake in a basket
28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines) nope :\
29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically? Oxymoronic. Everything I love inspires me
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated? I DON'T POST ENOUGH FOR THIS but my color study self-portrait was really good

ivy x sebastian headcanons bc they're canon now
THEY ARE CANON.
She's definitely the more assertive one in their relationship, so if anyone even remotely tries messing with him, she's laughing hysterically as she sprints to deck said person. He has texted her once about someone teasing him and she literally ran out of Ignihyde to go to him.
Sometimes, they'll sit together under a tree and share earbuds, listening to music and just looking at the scenery. She tries not to fall asleep, but she usually winds up with her head on his shoulder, already sleeping.
He makes her little homemade gifts and he likes writing her love letters. He's been caught in Rollo's office because he needs stamps and he has to lie and say, "It's for the Scholarships of Centered Living." Rollo can clearly see the pink envelope with a heart shaped wax frame in the back.
Since she's in NRC and he's in NBC, they usually stay up talking to each other. The wifi in Ignihyde is super fast and good, so they sometimes spend hours up together.
They play games with each other; he likes playing the calmer games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Minecraft and the Sims. She plays tactical shooter games a lot. They play with each other and he has, many times, failed in her games. He has also heard her very creative curses whenever someone even tries to insult his gameplay.
They have a bed next to each other in Minecraft. When the VP plays with Sebastian, he always asks, "Why two?" "You don't get it." "DOWN BAD HORRENDOUS."
She has bought him multiple gifts just because, from Lego sets to those new boots that he really wanted but he couldn't get. He never knows where she gets the money from.
He knows when she's feeling homesick, she looks more worn down than usual and he immediately does everything he can to take her to him. He hugs her really tightly for the longest time until she feels calmer.
She goes home with him for the holidays because she REFUSES to stay behind and clean up Ignihyde. Those boys' room are toxic fumes since they never clean or go outside. His sisters usually tease him a lot about him actually bringing a girl home or at least bringing SOMEONE home.
He winds up being embarrassed by his entire family because they're all interrogating her at the family reunion. Somehow she winds up passing the questions. She also eats a lot there, she enjoys the food that they make and even describes some of her own food before getting up, going shopping, and making the food on her own.
Speaking of shopping, he sometimes goes out to buy her a bunch of snacks and go into NRC. When he goes into Ignihyde, literally everyone's going, "INTRUDER!! INTRUDER!! FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL, HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!!"
He definitely didn't ask Seth. She almost tackles him to the ground in excitement every time. It's common now, but he's still not used to the open affection.
SPEAKING OF AFFECTION, she's definitely more affectionate with him than vice versa. She is not ashamed of hugging him and she's even kissed his cheek in front of Rollo (he was red for days). Sometimes she just clings onto him.
They send memes and make playlists for each other. She has made him multiple playlists and all of them have different titles. They're all cute too, they make him turn pink because they could be love letters on their own.
He'll visit NRC in secret sometimes just for her.
Ignihyde is aware but the one time Idia brought it up to her, she literally said, "JUST BECAUSE I CAN GET BITCHES AND YOU CAN'T DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME FROM HIM."
"He's the enemy."
"AND YOU ARE MINE. GET OUT."
They go on walks alone at night, looking at the stars. They even have a specific spot where they can set a blanket down and look up at them.
Sebastian definitely isn't aware of her Unique Magic until one time where she combusted because she was so stressed out. It stressed him out even more because she was on fire and he didn't know what to do. He was panicking and crying, thinking that she was dying. He almost got a heart attack when she jumped out the window because she wanted to see if she could fly while being fueled by flames.
Many times, he has asked about her world and she rambles on and on about how it was; usually he'll have his head in her lap and he's looking at her with a lovesick smile the whole time. The VP and Rollo have literally found them like that and the VP almost smacks her with a broom.
VP: GET OUT THIS IS NOT YOUR SCHOOL
Ivy: STFU I DO WHAT I WANT
He doesn't want to think about the fact that he might potentially lose her one day when she goes back home.

On Tuesday night my front bike wheel falls perfectly between the bars of a sewer grate and when I go down, the grapes and crackers I just bought go down with me. I leave half a dinner party cheese board in the road, attempting not to meet the eye of the truck driver who stops before running me over. I probably eat shit like this once a month, and each fall seems to be more embarrassing and unceremonious than the last. Not that I long for the days of getting “doored” by an off duty cab while going 20 mph down a hill - I really went flying that time, I still have a crater in my knee - but I know from here on out it is just a straight shot towards how David Sedaris determines old age, namely falling, and people yelling “don’t move him!”
I have felt less enamoured of Sedaris this year, after learning that he lies in his stories and that when A went to his home in the summer his art collection was Men Only. I am not one to police the gender of what others consume, but you couldn’t have just one measly woman in the mix? Even just the wife of one of the many 20th century patriarchs? (Of course this is a self-interested plea, since I believe in my heart that I should be the female exception to this rule, every rule)
Netflix’s suggested content for me cuts close to the bone, literally, when it advertises a documentary called Bad Surgeon. I bite, of course. A ruggedly handsome Italian doctor claims to be able to grow organs in a lab and do away with the donor/transplant market entirely. I have not yet made it past the first 25 minutes in which his ex wife discusses their courtship without falling asleep, but I can tell from the documentary’s cheap sense of foreboding that none of the man’s patients make it out alive. This tracks, given that a man with a god complex fitted their bodies with Lego. It also marks the second major medical fraud in very recent past, Theranos being the other. I read an opinion somewhere that founder Elizabeth Holmes should be spared jail time because she made Henry Kissinger lose money, a public service in itself
“Look who has been flossing!”, says my hygienist as she prods at my gums with metal instruments. “I haven’t been flossing”, I say, as she switches tools. “I know you haven’t”, she says, “I was talking about myself. It was a joke”

Yesterday was a bad day for me. My Halloween was ruined. Hopefully next year is better for me. I woke up with cramps (so I'll probably start bleeding soon), the weather was colder than I originally thought so I'd say that it was a nightmare being outside. And I kept fucking up all of my makeup, I was so angry about that because I took a long time just working on my hair and makeup. Every little thing that happened. Not a single thing went as planned for me this month, especially when for Halloween day. I hope next year is better than this year though. I'm so upset by everyone and everything yesterday. Every thing was ruined.
The only good thing about yesterday was eating candy, since I was so able to try some new flavors. Mostly lollipops. Not the other candies.
I have a thought! Rocky has his businesses. Club Heaven is one of the main businesses that we know of.. Do you think they would have a lot of theme nights at the club? In general and on holidays? If they would stay open on holidays anyway, like Valentine's Day and Halloween? I'd see certain themes happening for some holidays if they ever did that.
~
Now that Halloween is over. I have to decide which shows and movies I'm going to watch next.. Since there are just so many too watch now.
Anyway.
Yeah. I'm not completely sure if they participated in the rope climbing game.. But, being in the montage, there's a strong possibly they really were a part of that game and just won. But that is why I think though.
But yes! I have no balance, aim, rhythm or anything else you will may need to be physically active. That includes dancing and sports too.
I need at least one, maybe two, character who can balance out any of my other characters who aren't that skilled in spade games.. But I still don't know my characters strength and weaknesses are yet so I could figure that out before trying to developed these characters anymore.
Yeah. There isn't much to the Distance game. Everyone has run.. Only to find out you have to stay in the bus, you find out they'd have to run the vehicles (cars and motorcycles) because you need certain parts - because there are specific mechanics and technologies that still work in Borderlands. So that is thanks to Arisu's friend for figuring that out.
Building legos? Seriously. People still do that? I would not expect that hobby from you. Actually I don't know much about you so I can't even comment about that then.. But I'm surprising people still like legos.
That could be a game. I don't trust it though... Mostly because if I was in a situation where I might potentially drown and my life was in other people's hands. I don't trust it. I'd rather die than take the chance too.
~
Aguni would choose Heiya over your card soldier? That's interesting... I don't know why I think that's interesting though. But, then again, his character does seem to have a soft spot towards Heiya for reasons I'd never understand. Why he's so nice towards her, but not anyone else?
Just about every character's gender is swapped. And most of them is swapped.. Minus only a few who weren't swapped already though. I'm so tired that I'm not making any sense right now. Or I don't think I am.
And Nezuko! Well.. Kind of. That name Nezu is what came to mind for me when I thought of that name. But not exactly Nezumi or Nezumo.
~
Since I was so undecided on my White/Green character, I made a poll for her. But I doubt anyone would vote with how small this fandom is.
~
Like I told you a couple nights ago.. I watched Midnight. And I have to say, I stand by my statement. Any Asian media has the suspense that American media lacks in most shows and movies - especially modern American media. American media people need to take notes over this if they're actually paying attention. But they're never paying attention.
I'll watch to watch the movie again soon. Oh! And like I was telling you though. The one soldier was Tae Won-seok. He's the actor of who was Inbeom in Bloodhounds. And he's a lot younger than I thought he'd be too, I don't even know why I thought he was older than his actual age.
And I liked the ending. The deaf mother and daughter becoming very friends with the marine and his sister. They're like a found family with the four of them. So I'm happy that it was a happy ending for them.
I don't know why.. But something about the way his voice was, for the killer, his angry tone of voice reminded me of Gwi-nam for any reason that I don't know? I don't know. But that's what he sounded like to me though. Maybe he will sound differently next time I watch the movie.
Even if he did leave the mafia behind to become a "clean" person now in any way, he would still be a criminal who would have been the main leader of the mafia. He sold many drugs and weapons, also murdered people and who knows what other crimes he might have committed.
But still... The wrong cop squad tried arresting the mafia because any of the don's former friends wanted to betray him a lot sooner than the other people thought was going to happen. I mean. They were just so impatient to wait that they ruined up their own plan. The irony to that is funny. And also stupid. How can someone be that stupid though?
Regardless of the relationship between the male cop and the Chinese female associate. That's awkward. They might have some feelings for each other in some way. Even to warn her that her and her family was going to be arrested, so he warned her to start a new life before then.
So he blotched that.
I mean. At least that's realistic? Maybe your mind is so screwed up on which is real and not real.. Obviously she's your wife. But after both of them kinda had an affair with their main targets, that may have really messed with their minds? But, it seems like they would have to repair, like repair their relationship in some way to forgive the other person is what I'm getting from it? But I don't know. I haven't seen the show yet so I don't know the whole situation with that. But I still think it's really awkward that you would place your wedding ring one anyone's grave, especially if that grave doesn't even belong to your own dead spouse.

my halloween was also pretty meh. i had to work and australia didn’t really celebrate halloween when i was a kid and still doesn’t really. my mum almost hit a kid that was crossing the road without looking to. dumbass parent was nowhere to be seen and her young daughter had to stop a third unattended kid from crossing the street in front of our car.
!! i also had shitty cramps the other day!! but i’m not on my period yet. got a couple days until then. but the cramps have been ramping up. should probably see a doctor about it since my last few periods have had seriously bad cramps - like worse than usual - and i have pcos, but meh. nah.
i could see rocky having theme nights at club heaven! i bet kizzy like dressing up for halloween. she probably drags kaito into couples costumes. i bet koo is impossible to convince to dress up. i can’t think of what rocky would dress up as. maybe jack skellington? the whole pinstripe suit and skull makeup. im not sure.
~
speaking of new things to watch, have you heard of knuckle girl? it’s on amazon prime but it’s probably on other sites by now. it’s an action movie with ayaka miyoshi and goki maeda! ayaka looks so pretty!! from the description, it’s about ayaka’s character joining a ‘no-rules deathmatch’ while looking for her missing sister, and ‘trading in her boxing gloves for brass knuckles’.
interestingly it’s made by a korean director but with a japanese cast. i’ll probably be watching it tonight so i’ll write up a lil thing of my thoughts for my next reply.
~
i still need to figure out what games i want my card soldier to do. i know he’s mainly a spades player, but i still haven’t decided on what canon games he’d be in and what ones i need to make up for him. i have more of an idea for my dormouse but that’s probably because i’ve been focusing on her more.
i like legos! it’s very relaxing. and i’m not just sitting around with a box of legos, i’m like doing the ‘adult’ lego sets. like the botanicals and i got the vespa for my birthday. i’ve got a couple different non-lego building sets from japan and china too, and nanoblocks are fun. it’s just relaxing to sit and do something with my hands and see an immediate result, like doing a physical craft. i tried origami but i’m not great at it.
my dormouse is on the trusting side, but she’s also a lil self-sacrificing. like ‘if nobody else wants to do it, i’ll volunteer and risk a drowning death in a glass case. it’s fine, i can hold my breath for a long time.’ also chishiya’s there and she trusts him to figure out the puzzles. i can force him to play clubs games if i shove him alongside kuina.
i want to rework my king of hearts game too. i still like the idea of the players being drugged - like how mira drugs arisu and usagi in the queen game - but i want to rework it more. there was on a short scene of it in the montage and the wiki doesn’t have much infor on. i might lean more into the labyrinth vibe. minotaur….
~
to be fair, aguni kind of sees too much of himself in the card soldier since they have the same kind of anger towards their abusive fathers, so he distances himself a lil from him. i just choose to think that aguni has a soft spot for girls. in the manga, as a kid he would draw his abusive dad’s attention away from his mother. plus, he does have the misfortune of a lot of his scenes being at the beach where he got stuck dealing with the more violent members and watching his best friend spiral into madness - which he also blames on the beach - so. probably not feeling his kindest and making him come off especially cold.
using ‘鼠子’ for nezuko would translate to ‘rat child’, not the most complimentary and i don’t know if it’s commonly used as name kanji, but it works.
~
midnight is So Good. it’s so good!! wi ha joon does exceptionally in villainous roles, he’s just got an energy about him and in midnight he’s excellent. him and the main actress have great chemistry for the whole cat-and-mouse situation. and the ambience and suspense is done so well. asia is doing horror thriller movies like no one else.

Poem Section 
The first poem I wrote was about my current state and attitude, mainly a melancholic experience. The second is a look back on how I was raised by my parents or the people around me and how that influenced who I came out to be. The use of abrupt sentences impacts just how impactful it was to me. The third is a nostalgic look back into my past with a glazy and focused attempt to make it sound as imaginative as possible. All these poems give insight into who I am and used to be and how I was shaped into being who I am through the use of poems.
I'm good, but that makes me concerned,
For what will be bad in the future.
The last couple of years have been enlightening 
But also, extremely depressing 
Due to a sickness, I had for a week. 
This year I have a great apartment, 
That won’t let me sleep. 
I go to a school that I smile about and recommend,
But second, guess my enrollment. 
I have people that I care about, 
But I think sometimes they secretly hate me. 
I read beautiful stories, then
Scroll on my phone for twice as long. 
I go to a gym to fix my body, 
Then eat three donuts. 
I strive to be myself, 
Then ask if I’m just copying someone else. 
Even though I'm on my own,
I desperately yearn for a full home. 
Get on the bus in time so you don’t get to class late. Get good grades, raise your hand in class, and make sure to remember your book bag. Don’t be mean. Play nice with the other kids, and make sure to smile. Join a couple of clubs, put yourself out there, and don’t be afraid to fail. Put on your cleats; you're playing soccer, and play well at it. Be a starter, score many goals, and make sure your coach will like you. Get on the varsity team and run faster than the rest of the boys; make sure to run in your free time and have a good mile time. Why don’t you join the track team and get even faster? Now that you have been captain, why don’t you do cross-country and try running up a hill for once? Now you’ve graduated middle school, let’s move away, you’ll make new friends, and it will make you more experienced. Go to high school and continue getting good grades. Make sure to go outside enough and get sunlight. Don’t be too skinny but make sure you have enough muscle to help around the yard. And don’t get fat and lazy, so you had better go to the gym and eat the right food. Now you're older and bigger, you better start looking and smelling better. Make sure you take a shower every night and put deodorant on before school. Cut your hair short and style it a bit, so you don’t look messy. You better get a job soon, or how else are you going to buy those new sneakers and a car so you can drive to that job. Now you have a car, make sure to keep it clean and not break down. Have you looked at colleges? You need to get on that before your junior year. How about finding a nice pretty girl to take to prom, and what about getting a nice suit and shoes for that. Be in enough clubs to look good for college and serious ones with no games played.  Make sure to be one of the top students when you graduate high school. Make sure your gown looks good on you and that you decorate your hat a bit. Walk like a man you get to your diploma and have a firm handshake, smile, and wave to your family. Act like you had fun and that you enjoyed your time cause now you are off to college, and hopefully a serious one with good programs. Say goodbye to your friends before you move in and pack everything that you need. Study for your classes and look good for internships. Join more clubs and have a good network of people around you. That way, you'll get that job, and that house, and that car, and those shoes, and those fancy clothes. Make sure you make money for your family and provide for them. Fulfill that passion that you had and didn’t lose over the years. You're on your own with your own life. Now you get to choose who you are. 
I remember slow dancing three feet apart making trying to not make eye contact. 
I remember lunch boxes with Lego characters on the side that always found a way to destroy my sandwiches. 
I remember a boy who used to mix his chocolate milk and orange juice together with a hint of fries then dared others to drink it. 
I remember outside of our town a broken-down unused bicycle factory sitting unused. 
I remember in agony how to understand to juggle a soccer ball more than 5 times. 
I remember pondering on how people could drink coffee and hot chocolate and not burn their tongues off. 
I remember blue stores with halls filled with movies and video games that you could borrow for a little while.         
I remember arcades with lots of games, and in the prize box a “iPod” to play my music though with a sting attached.
I remembered at carnivals rides spinning around it made me sick to my stomach. 
I remember “ninja” and “Heads up sevens up” being played in classrooms and on the school yard. 
I remember getting shot in the neck by a 7-year-old who was way too young to be playing with a bb gun.      
I remember being distraught when I found a zipper on the back of my rainbow teddy bear and found that inside was mountain of fluffy white cotton. 
I remember twisting the swings around to the point that it strained and then let go and spun like a toy. 
I remember killing the bugs that would hide under the brim of my baseball cap leaving a trail of bodies. 
I remember biker gloves that didn’t go to my fingers leaving my hands cold and unusable. 
I remember “last day of school parties”.       
I remember “your mom” jokes not making any sense to me but still being hilarious for some reason. 
I remember “spin the bottle” and “bloody Mary” both with two very different outcomes. 
I remember mature songs bleeping the bad words I wasn’t supposed to hear. 
I remember laughing at extremely sad or terrible news which I continue to do. 
I remember the wafers we were fed at church during communion, I hated them, but I loved the wine, always trying to drink more than the priest wanted to give me. 
I remember being tired of singing at communion and started drawing on the papers and making airplanes to throw at my siblings. 
I remember movies in school about giving birth, I always sat in the back so I could snicker with my friends. 
I remember thinking my name was cooler as Zack rather than Zach, so I spelt it different for a day. 
I remember forgetting how to spell my name whether its Zachary or Zachery I had to check my birth certificate. 
I remember a dream of a big house with a smiling man who would never leave me alone; those were not pleasant dreams.
