Twenty One Pilots - Overcompensate theories (whoo!)
Tumblr media
It's a face of someone who put so much lore in the MV that I genuinely don't know where to start
Pt.1 - MV
So the MV takes place right after the end of The Outside MV, pretty easy - logical Now are we relly back in Trench? Seing all the maps, and the way back from The Outside to Jumpsuit? Tracing back the map? Being welcomed? lol. no
Tyler (or Clancy, am I deadnaming him now???) is using the powers, that were mentioned in I Am Clancy video and the one that Ned gave him in The Outside MV As we can see Bishops still wants him to lure people, to make them surrender to live how the Bishops wants them to
So since Tyler is just using someone else to pretend that it's him we can assume that Josh is also a projection
Why is Josh here? Maybe as a representative of Banditos
Now we play heavily in the symbolism of mask. Of course mask symbolizes the difference between a fictitious identity and a real identity. But here we can see something interesting. If Tyler is taking off his mask he is his true self, yet if someone else tries to take it off you can see a different person
So let's see what the hell is Tyler even doing in the MV itself. Well he is doing both jobs. On the surfice, he is doing what the Bishops wants him to. But actually he is showing people some kind of code. (I am sure that all the gestures weren't just a silly choreography). He is showing them his true self (no mask) and giving a presentation on the secrets of Dema. I believe he is sharing the information that normal people were never supposed to know
Tumblr media
Like the lyrics of Shy away, he is trying to "Just break the cycle in half". Break people's belief in the religion that the Bishops created and to ultimately take away their power
And after the lesson in the backrooms (lol I don't know how to word it differently) people have tape on their shoulders. But not only the red one. We can se the yellow tape. The legendary Bandito's tape
But what is the meaning of the end? For me people were so used to following the rulers, the rules and doing what they were told that after changing their mindset about the Bishops they still felt the need to follow somebody. That somebody will be Clancy
other small details will be nine red lights for nine Bishops
Tumblr media
Tyler having a symbol for the band logo
Tumblr media
So is Tyler tring to break the cycle from the very core? Well maybe, for sure what he does now is a complete diversion
Boy is ready to take a revenge, he even brought his best buddy to help
Pt. 2 - Lyrics
We need to start by translating the intro for sure so:
Diese kleine unheimliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht (From German) - This scary little island has turned me into a weapon
Wir glauben beide (From German) - We both believe
Cette petite île étrange a fait de moi une arme (From French) - This scary little island has turned me into a weapon
Nous croyons tous les deux que nous pouvons l'utiliser pour changer l'élan de cette guerre (From French) - We both believe we can use it to change the momentum of this war
So this is pretty much what we know from I Am Clancy video. Tyler and his powers are used by the Bishops to cause harm
And we already saw that first line, which comes from Clancy’s letter from 2022 posted on the dmaorg.info website.
I created this world / To feel some control /Destroy it if I want / So I sing, "sahlo folina" / "Sahlo folina" - This part comes from Bandito. It could be the call for Banditos, to tell them to beware of what is going on. Or it is the way of teaching the people the special code - which sahlo folina is for sure a part of
Earned my stripes - he earned his position in the city, possibly because of his powers
Bless your ear holes while you react, acting / Gobsmacked - maybe people were sent to this place by the Bishops to mess with their brains, but since Tyler is talking about something different to them they are confused
I feel like I was just here, same twitchin' in my eyes - he started just like those people, brainwashed with no sense of reality
Don't sleep on a boy who can fall asleep twice / In the same night - so he can die twice? Or maybe it is the dig that he is working on both sides, just undercovered
and won't hesitate / To maybe overcompensate - simply, Tyler is ready to kick some Bishops' asses and take revenge for everything wrong they ever did to him and other people
I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol - the symbol that Bishops were making in Nico and the Niners Mv OR The symbol that Tyler uses (what he makes with his hands) is dangerous for Bishops, because it is a sign of rebellion OR (This one makes the most sense) it's U+2621 ☡ CAUTION SIGN, which was created by no other than Nicolas Bourbaki group of mathematicians. Nico is very important, since in Morph we have the lyrics of "He goes by Nico / He told me I'm a copy". So was Nico the first one to discover Clancy's powers?
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral - the peripheral vision is what you can see to each side or up and down without moving your head, or everything that you can see that isn't in your central vision. The peripheral vision might be the same as the rearview from Choker. So this is everything that he saw in Dema on accident, all the secrets that he cought with his eye. Once he saw them he is ready to change everything
Where am I from? I was born right here, just now / Originated right in front of your eyes - Clancy is from Dema, simple as that. He is the citizen and the escapee
If you can't see, I am Clancy, prodigal son - the reference to The Bible. Prodigal Son is "a man or boy who has left his family in order to do something that the family disapprove of and has now returned home feeling sorry for what he has done". Tyler for sure returned, bus is he really sorry? Or the Bishops made him act like he is?
Done running, come up with Josh Dun / Wanted dead or alive - JOSH DUN MENTIONED. But also comming to Trench with Josh could be a sign that Clancy wants people to see that Banditos are not bad people. Not someone who you should fear
So now you pick who you serve, you bow to the masses - make a choice if you gonna change your life or stay in the circle of madnesss
Half empty, half full, save half of your taxes - again, make a choice weather you're gonna think positively or negatively (glass half empty/half full)
Then overtake your former self - become a better person, better version of yourself and live your truth
Days feel like a perfect length / I don't need them any longer, but for goodness sake - just a perfect condition to make a change
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón / Way too short for my soul, corazón - it is the reference to all the years Tyler lost while working and living in Dema
A wild ride, as always...

Humans Are Weird: Auditory Processing Disorder
Report # 306
Topic: Auditory Processing Disorder
APD: disorder of the auditory (hearing) system that causes a disruption in the way that an individual's brain understands what they are hearing.
Four days ago I was doing my monthly meeting with the electrical department, receiving updates on our monthly usage, needed parts, and checking up on general morale. (The transcript of that meeting is already turned in.) After the meeting we had refreshments and I discovered Lucy (previously mentioned in report #286) pouting in a corner. I inquired what was bothering her. She said, "The ship's head medic just diagnosed me with APD but he wasn't trained to treat it." I asked for further information on the condition. She listed several of her personal symptoms. "It means I don't always catch what people say. It feels like my brain doesn't want to listen. In one ear and out the other making me look stupid to however I talk to. It's connected to my misophonia, and the fact I was born really premature."
I was unsure how to comfort her so I made no effort. This seemed to work for Lucy kept speaking.
"And what's worse is there's nothing I can do! We don't have a speech therapist aboard or even any research materials! Its starting to affect my work performance. On top of decoding, hypersensitivity, and prosodic problems, I have integration issues which mean its really hard for me to focus on what people are saying when I'm doing something. Which freaking sucks when you're part of a team!" I had no clue what she was really talking about but gave her a hug (human gesture of enveloping one in your arms as a sign of comfort or safety), and she apologized for "venting" to me.
She then spoke on how her crew mates just thought she was "slow" or wasn't good at her job. They questioned if she was capable because she would follow directions incorrectly and she was worried she'd be replaced with someone "less problematic". I tried to assure her that I would help anyway I could on her behalf. Never again will I doubt a human's sincerity.
After some of my own personal research I have made a list of the different types and their definitions for your education on the subject:
Hypersensitivity – Hypersensitivity to sound is often diagnosed as misophonia or hyperacusis. Misophonia is when people have adverse physical reactions to sounds, such as becoming nauseated by the sound of chewing or slurping. Hyperacusis, on the other hand, is characterized by a sensitivity to sounds. For some, this means that white noise can be deafening, even causing physical pain.
Decoding – Decoding difficulties involve a lack of figuring out words that are spoken. They hear the sounds, but their brains do not process them as words.
Integration – Integration applies to those who struggle to do multiple things while listening. Such multi-tasking may be writing notes and listening, or having conversations while typing an email.
Prosodic – Prosodic refers to people who have trouble with tone, inflection, and implied meaning. A question and exclamation are processed identically in their brains. Their speech is also often monotone.
Organizational – Finally, organizational, or output, is often characterized by not recalling information in a specific order or having difficulty with noisy situations.
Honestly, Humans are so diverse and unpredictable. To think that different "problems" or " abnormalities " within their mind or body can lead to even more similar issues astounds me. They are so intricate in a way my species has never been. Despite the struggles that their disorders, and conditions being, I think it's strangely beautiful. Maybe that's just me, but I have a new appreciation for them.
I am requesting the presence of a speech therapist, whether physically or digitally, to be readily available to our crew. We must also add APD onto our medics research requirements. It is not an overly complicated subject to be fluent in. I also request that Lucy's diagnoses be added to her list of wrongful termination along with her gender, age, and race. No one should feel their position is at risk because of a disorder or disability. I also request that a written copy of daily instruction be printed for her if necessary. She is one of our best electricians and I mean to keep her employed here as long as she wants.

CLUB OWNER
Falco ‘Garnet’ Ritter is the owner of the place he named ‘HELL BUNKER’, a location that hosts diverse technoise parties and concerts (but also some other music genres). He’s also the inventor of Chrome Chamber Rave as well as the radio station ‘109.6 HELL BUNKER.FM’.
He has earned himself quite a high cred and respect in the Night City party business as his location and main event is unique compared to other technoise events in the city. His vision simply was to bring European technoise (back) to the NUSA, especially hard tech from his home country Germany. He wants people of Night City to experience that technoise from Europe hits differently than other technoise does, especially the one from Germany (as technoise roots lie there)¹. He’s well known in the underground scene and also appreciated by Maelstroms. He used to be deejay-ing at Totentanz years ago and the location gave him a lot of inspiration for creating HELL BUNKER afterwards. He’s mostly known under the artist name ‘Garnet’² rather than under his real name. So in the first place Garnet is a musician and a business owner. But since he’s got ears and eyes everywhere to keep his club clean he may also have important info for mercs and he’s not easy to fight because of his installed Gorilla arms cyberware. He often acts as a bouncer for his own club. It’s likely to happen that you might get thrown out by him personally if you behave inappropriately. He doesn’t make any excuses. Chrome Chamber Rave especially has strict rules such as a certain dress code you gotta have to wear, otherwise you may not be able to enter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SET LIST
Garnet still deejays at CCR. His setlist is of course all hard technoise yet he concentrates to mix it with more emotions and a touch of industrial, even some lyrics and tends to venture further than that. Each song is unique to itself and can be a true experience if you are willing to let yourself soaked in and let it touch your soul.
“Technoise may not be able to save the world, but it will save your soul.”
— Falco ‘Garnet’ Ritter
Cover artwork by me. Steal and you will be doomed. I‘ve chosen tracks only by one artist named ‘Roman Gehrecke’. This artist is the closest to what I imagine Garnet would produce as well. So I decided to borrow the music for Falco. Of course all the music belongs to Roman Gehrecke! There's one song at the end of it I see as the one that is always played at last so the audience knows ok after that it's done. This song is also not by the artist mentioned above but has a well known melody majority knows.
Recommendation: ‚Gefallene Engel‘, ‚Anderswelt‘, ‚Stimmen der Tiefe‘ and ‚Schutt und Asche‘ – best listened to via headphones and making time for it should you want to try to get soaked into.
———
¹ "Technoise and its various derivations dominate much of the German scene. If you're hip, you already know about Technoise. If not, listen up. Technoise is quite popular with the discerning young punk; it was popularized by Germany's own NetWerk actually, you've got your Overlay style from London, Jazznetic from Rotterdam and Echo from Frankfurt. In addition, there are people producing Frock (Fractal Rock) all over the place. The good thing is, Technoise is quite easy to produce. You only need a small computer, some software and you're ready to buzz. Those of you with a message might miss the political attitude, but you're missing the point. Technoise is strictly for partying, tripping and dancing. People meet and dance up to the runner's point. Maybe that's a political statement in itself, oder?" — Eurosource Plus – The New Eurotheater Sourcebook for Cyberpunk
² Garnet first is a song by my favorite band D'espairsRay I still love to this day (they ain't anything to do with techno). And second a gemstone that has the color of a darkened red, which I also try to give him as a main color theme of his wardrobe (together with black ofc).

How I see
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
-as someone with synesthesia.
#1 - SKINNY
Tumblr media
I kinda think of skinny as light, pale and soft. I think the lyrics really reflect those elements, especially since the song is mostly about body dysmorphia. And when I think about body dysmorphia I think of pale and colourless things. So everything about this song just lacks colour, but in a good way. I think it symbolises Billie's growth and development through the album. She starts paler but then she slowly develops colour through the songs, also symbolising that she's found herself and she's comfortable in who she is.
#2 - LUNCH
Tumblr media
Lunch is definitely a hard one. Whenever I listen to a song, I can always see all the colours in different parts of the song. Especially this one. But it only looks good in my head and to physically make it visual to other people is hard because I had to include all the colours without it looking terrible. So what I did was I kinda channelled the main colours and what came out was blue and orange. Blue being the base of the song, and then orange being the guitar in the background. These two colours and this song make perfect sense to me and I'm super happy about this one.
#3 - CHIHIRO
Tumblr media
This song is mostly blue but BITTERSUITE and BLUE are blue already so I wanted to make it more diverse. So I gave the song a listen and decided that the base of the song is blue 100%, and in the chorus of the song you kinda feel melancholic, euphoric, ethereal etc. So I drilled deeper into my brain and decided that in the chorus of this song, I could feel a bit of yellow. I think it adds to that floating, euphoric feel of the song.
#4 - BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Tumblr media
Unfortunately my least favourite on this album. I obviously don't hate anything Billie's put out at all, but it screams clean girl. I can't stand clean girl so I have a bit of a dislike towards this song. It's a good song obviously, but not for my ears. It's very soft and dream like, and I think the white and baby pink really reflect it. Love how this is like a polar opposite to LUNCH.
#5 - WILDFLOWER
Tumblr media
This was nice to do. Finding and looking through photos really helped me understand this song better. It's the perfect balance between hard and soft. I think this is like the middle man in this album. Especially when you know what it's about. Or who. This reminded me a lot of Guitar Songs (TV and The 30th). It's like a morning walk through a field on an overcast day at your grandma's house. It's a bit of a laid back green. Symbolising the mood of the song.
#6 - THE GREATEST
Tumblr media
This was the hardest song I've had to visualise. This song is more of a feeling than a visual. But I'd probably say it's a mix between blue and green. Blue being the base, green being the accents. This whole album definitely has blue in most of its songs. I'm still not sure how to view this song but I think this is the closest I can get.
#7 - L'AMOUR DE MA VIE
Tumblr media
I don't think this song needs much of an explanation. It's neon, it's bold, it's different. It's a vibe. The colour perfectly matches the sound of the song. I mostly see red and orange in this song and I think that's to do with fire for some reason. It's hot and it burns your eardrums like a hot branding iron in the best possible way.
#8 - THE DINER
Tumblr media
I think the diner has the same look for everyone. It's dark, spooky and possessive. I can't believe it's second least streamed song on the album because it's my no.1. Black is the base of the song because I feel like it's set at night, then we have red because it's hot and bold. I added in some photos of circuses because the little instrumental sounds like a spooky circus. This is THE Halloween song of 2024. Fight me.
#9 - BITTERSUITE
Tumblr media
This is such an amazing song. To me it's blue. But a very darkkk blue. It also feels like you're drowning so I incorporated lots of water into it. This feels like swimming at the sea in a storm. It's terrifying and exhilarating in the best way. I think this song would also smell like Eilish no.2 and I'm so sad that this is the least streamed of the album.
#10 - BLUE
Tumblr media
this song is the bluest of blue. It's neon. It's again more of an feeling that a visual. Very similar to BITTERSUITE but just more vibrant. I find it hard to explain this one but I think for a song that's also hard to visualise, it's probably the most accurate on the list.

In times of be going against my personal promise to not change my profile appearance to make it Macaque- I'm thinking about sitcom! Mac once more.
I just think he's neat 🥰 but here's some on the spot things about him:
Is very protective of Bai He
Also shows an immense amount of favoritism towards her, she can do no wrong in his eyes :)
He calls her strawberry, originally I was thinking blueberry but I think after LBD they would stay away from blue associate things
Is known to spoil his love ones, not as much as swk and in different ways but still
Is very competent at knowing when people are stressed when, especially when the person is hiding it(*cough* *cough* wukong and mk *cough*)
He'll treat them out or make them do something to relax them
In cases of the person overworking themselves, he'll get them to take a nap and organize their work space so it isn't as chaotic but things are still easy to find
Then when they still look tired but still frustrated with what they were doing, maq will have them talk through it and what they're struggling and give tips and after they usually are ready to jump back into the task
I've seen a few other people hc maq to stress bake and I think that's really fitting for him! So that's in my au too
I think he would be a pretty decent cook too, at least more than swk
He hates getting wet/soaked, the sensation of clothes filled with water is just atrocious to him
Is the kind of bitch to go to a pool just to sit on a lawn chair under an umbrella with a big sun hat and glasses
Wears bright red eye liner
Was nicknamed "Six-Earred Macaque" because of his sensitive hearing always causing him to hear better than most, even sometimes things he shouldn't;)
The nickname came from his childhood bullies but he started owning it as he got older; partially thanks to wukong but also because the usefulness it gave him when Mac made eavesdropping his job
Has the most diverse music taste out of the entire group because ofc
He owns a motorcycle like Mei and he goes to her for repairs
Is one of the few people that have permission to use the kitchen, as long as he doesn't move the place of his knives or spices and cleans up after he's done
Becomes instant besties with PIF when he becomes apart of the pta
Is very competitive and petty during bake sales
Got really pissed when a parent had complained to him about Bai He wearing "boy clothes" to school
He had swk, dbk wear dresses with him while pif wore a suit to the next pta after that
The ultimate party thrower even though he isn't the biggest fan of them
Helped plan Mk 's birthday when he first began staying with him and swk
Threw Bai He the biggest party she'd ever had the first year of her living with him
He had planned most of it a few months in advance, though the actual party's theme was decided closer to the day just incase he wasn't running around last minute because Bai He wanted something different instead (she wouldn't of but still
It was based off her favorite movie at the time: Coraline.
It was a costume party and everyone dressed up as characters from the film and ended with a sleepover where they watched the movie
Mac as the mom, Bai He as coraline, mk as normal wilby, Tang and pigsy were the two old ladies, sandy was Mr. B, pif and dbk were the other parents, swk was the dad, and red son and Mei were the two of coraline's friends.
Most of the party activities were based off of scenes in the movies: finding the kids eyes, the performances and the ending
Safe to say Mac went all out
Is that Instagram person that takes pictures of their food, not to post though just to document incase he wants to order the same thing and can't think of the name
Does it with things he gets Bai He or anyone for that matter

Spoilers for season one Next in Fashion!
Okay I'm going to do a Next in fashion video analysis of all the contestents the fashion the winners as well as an analysis on the show and my personal opinion.
Spoilers under cut- images of outfits for Episode one.
Next in Fashion Season one has a diverse cast of different colours both inside and out. Wether they are queer, straight black or white this is a room full of creatives in a competition giving a prompt.
The best part? That so many are proffesionals, I rarely see people who have already worked with A-listers and considered the best of the best competing against each other its like seeing the olympics but for artistic expression.
This group was full of loud, expressive and creative personalities all in one room.
So I can't really speak about culture or other prejudice- but I do want to talk about the outfits and my own opinions on who won and who went home. I disagreed with some of the judges takes and opinions while others I agreed with.
I kinda fell in love with Next in fashion but I will admit I am aware it was a mixed bag full of...issues, there were some things that I did deem problematic. But when the season expressed itself as activists, bringing awareness I would've assumed they would put things in place to accomadate that in the next season.
Overall, I think Next in Fashion season one;
Is a window into the fashion world.
It felt as if all these designers who worked with a-list celebrities were getting their voices heard. It was an insight into the fashion industry and was able to present a ton of hard topics and discussions in a way that was relatable and beliveable.
They revealed hard truths, ones I especially agree with and find understandable. Which I'll get to later, just to let you know in advanced though.
I know nothing about fashion-
but I do find an interest in it, as a creator I know I cant wear certain clothes but my characters can and find I have one ear on the fashion world but overall I dont know enough to be a professional.
So we start with the first episode: The red Carpet.
A look you can see actors, hollywood stars and influencers to wear and be interviewed on the red carpet something bold, stunning as well as jaw dropping so who did I think should've won and whose outfit was just not my idea of what I'd call great [but to remind you guys the reason I'm not a fashion person is that art is subjective what I find meh someone can love and it can be developed into an open market as long as theres a target audience and people like something then theres no such thing as bad art]
So onto the prompt: RED CARPET.
Winner: Angelo and Charles. Sent Home: Issac and Nasheli.
First off I have to say- this sucked. It was so unfair for Nasheli to leave especially since Issac was a huge tit. He did fuck all, gave Nasheli shit material and told her to make it work then said we're a team :D and when he was sent home he gave no shit- he said it was just another day! This was grossly unfair to Nasheli she should've been put on a different team or should've been asked to come next year and try again she deserved another chance it was grossly unfair that she was tripped at the finish line and couldn't have a chance to show off her talent because of an incompetent partner.
Anyway: Angel and Minju Red Carpet piece.
Tumblr media
I loved this, I love the colour, the boy and the silouette. I find this so pretty and fell in love with this outfit on the spot 10/10 :D
Next up is : Ashton and Marco
Tumblr media
Its a no from me 4/10, my reason is that I find this so basic, its a boring silouette feels like something someone wore back in the 2000's also that belt in the middle of her chest? I hated that when she moved it was moving and flip flopping all over the place it distracted me and made me look at her boobs even in the shot above I can see the belt moving slightly. I dont hate the dress but for a red carpet its a meh.
Next up is : Issac and Nesheli
Tumblr media
I think the overall look the collor plus the bust and the oversized pocket at her stomach is distracting my focul point was aimed there instead of the overall look. The fabric was uncomfortable for the model to move in and couldn't go to the bathroom overall wearability was non existent. What is heartbreaking was how most voices in the show was steamrolled by their partners and most felt as if they werent heard. In this sense it's awkward because of artistic differences you dont know wether to trust your partner if their choice ends up making or breaking your chance in the competition. 1/10
Next up is farai and Kiki:
Tumblr media
Again I love this colour and overall liked the look, when I first saw it I loved it. But the more I looked at it I thought hmm so it's more of a 7/10 personally I do think it looks more like something my mum would wear on holiday at the beach than a red carpet if I could change one thing it would be the jacket. Either have that fabric pattern at the top or bottom of the outfit OR Change the jacket to a darker purple to make it more as a gradient.
Tumblr media
I think if it was a slightly shade darker it would be able to narrow down the focul point better- but I'm speaking as an artist on colour theory not as a pro fashion advice I am aware fashion is different so even though thats my personall opinion on the change I'm aware that sometimes peoples ideas are different to mine.
Next up is : Carli and Daniel
Tumblr media
I might get a few raised eyebrows but this was a meh, from me. I thought it was safe I did like the colours pearing blues with browns and a soft white as the top colour theory, and structure as well as the bold move of a pant/skirt with pockets! Did look amazing. Idk I just think it was a 6/10 for me.
Next up is : Narresh and Lorena
Tumblr media
HARD YES 10/10 I loved this outfit, I like the shape, the colours I love the back as well as the asymetrical sleeve I just- I freakin love this outfit I would want to wear this and twirl around in it.
Next up is : Julian and Hayley
Tumblr media
I liked it at first, but yeah it does seem a bit incomplete but overall 5/10
And then theres : Claire and Adolfo
Tumblr media
hmm Nope. NOPE. I don't like it 0/10- look art us subjective not many people will love it and I'm not one of those people, there is artistic differences and as an artist I don't like it. Other than the split at the side but it feels done before, and it feels so rubbery and stiff when the model walks, I just I cant nope.
And last but not least, Angelo And charlie.
Tumblr media
My immiediete thought was "The matrix." Or any other 90's film. I do like the hot pink skirt just peeking out on the back but overall. Its kinda basic just another black dress I can't even love the trail when the model walked I couldn't help but think it wasn't laying right and seemed to be stiff once she dropped it. I can't help but think that the judges were too blown away by the tail drop than to actually see the dress it makes me think of x-factor when they give the golden buzzer to the child singer. Not because they were good or it was a talented song just because it was instent gratification. Overall I like it but its just meh to me 4/10....which is ironic since they're the ones who WON.
So yeah since what I LIKED and what the judges choose, just comes to show why I'm not making a career out of fashion either I'm too far ahead or tar far behind the times for what fashion even IS I just get annoyed that what I happen to like was something the judges were put off by...so let me know what YOU guys think were good tell ME which red carpet look you would rank out of 10 and let me know for the red Carpet look who YOU think the winner should've been???
I might do more episodes if this does well but if not? w/e

In this post, I'm gonna talk about my weird, old Teen Titans OCs and headcanons from years ago. To this day, Scorpion, Melodea and Cadenza are the only ones I kept, but here are the rest.
Melodea was originally gonna be part of this team called the X Geodes. And let me tell you- my TT characters were racially/ethnically diverse, but the problem is that I didn't put enough thought into their backgrounds and wrote them poorly.
It was led by Xander, aka Mayor X, who was the son of the mayor of Baltimore, Maryland. He was a non-superpowered demolitions expert with a hankering for violence. His whole theming/aesthetic was pretty much a Red X ripoff with added dynamite.
There was also Timberboy, aka Timothy, a health-knowledgeable nature hero whose powers were similar to Poison Ivy's. He could grow different types of trees and wild plants (not domestic ones), and they came from a green crystal he wore around his neck. He had a pet snail named Rex. He was Filipino-American and was from California.
MysTerry, aka Terry Lake, who had slate gray skin and black and white hair (one on each side). He was a young wizard. His magic worked in an opposite way to Jinx's, because his main thing was casting good luck charms. He could also change people's clothing. He was British-American and from New York.
Papergirl, aka Pippa Vazquez, the youngest member. Her suit gave her the ability to fold herself into any paper shape. She could also draw things on her suit and make them come to life. She was Mexican-American and from Texas.
I also gave Scorpion a cousin.
Her name was Zephyr, aka Isa Doyle. Scorpion is of French descent, but Isa is, like, half-French, half-Irish. Scorpion is from Arizona while Zephyr is from Galway. Basically, she could control wind. While Scorpion got her powers after being stung by a scorpion, Zephyr was born with hers. She was the Princess Daisy to Scorpion's Princess Peach, in terms of their personalities.
Also, there were Chime and Gong.
Chime, aka Brian Zhong, and Gong, aka Lucy Zhong, were a pair of Chinese-American twins who liked to watch TV together. I forgot what US state they were from. Their powers involved making things happen by playing bianzhong and a gong. Control Freak gave them their powers. He transported them into a show they liked where two characters did that same thing.
I made FIVE characters based on how weirdly obsessed I was with See-More. I absolutely would have denied it back then, but I think that was because I had a crush on him. (I even had Scorpion date him in Season 3, but they broke up during Season 4 or 5. We don't talk when I did that.) I gave him a cousin and also made four characters based on the other four senses.
His cousin was named Salome, aka Exci D. She was Haitian because I headcanoned See-More to be of Haitian descent for some reason. She had one eye. Her powers involved her making things fall apart when she touched them. She was born with those powers. Unlike her cousin, she wasn't a villain and was an Honorary Titan. She was a big fan of C-Pop, J-Pop and K-Pop, so her outfit made her look like an idol.
As for the other sense-based characters, the one based on hearing was Audiosa, aka Gloriosa Rivera. Her ears were really big, and she had the power of supersonic hearing. She was from Salamanca, Spain. She can be compared to Dolores because she's also a Hispanic girl with super hearing, but Encanto wasn't known yet at the time of Audiosa's creation. Also, she was bi.
Tastebud, aka Rosalie Shirinova, was based on taste. She was Aleutian. She had highly developed taste buds, and I think she was armed with food-themed weapons. She was also a lesbian.
Tochit, aka Sentry Kakoso, was based on touch. He was Tanzanian. He could feel things without directly touching them and had telekinesis. He wore these gauntlets on his hands. Also, for some reason, he had three eyes.
Whiffer, aka Dani Shamoun, was based on smell. He was from Abu Dhabi, UAE. He had these pads on his nose that he built himself, allowing him to absorb smells and release them.
I just made my characters' heritage come from random places for no reason. Padparadscha, aka Padma Kumar, might be the most egregious example of this.
Padparadscha's whole thing was her being half-angel and half-demon, but I tried SO HARD to make her some kind of Hindu mythology equivalent of that. She was raised by an Indian family in Sri Lanka. She, Zephyr and Exci D were good pals.
The worst part about all of this is that she was my PERSONA character (the OC representing me). I have no idea why I chose to do that. If I make a new Teen Titans persona one day, she's gonna be white like me.
Also, I once headcanoned that the HIVE Academy had a band class. Here's what everyone, including my old characters, played:
Gizmo- Violin
Jinx- Viola
Mammoth- Cello
Timberboy- Bass
Angel- Harp
Private HIVE- Trumpet
I.N.S.T.I.G.A.T.O.R.- Tuba
Wrestling Star- French Horn
XL Terrestrial- Trombone
Whiffer- Sousaphone
Bumblebee- Flute
Melodea- Piccolo
Stone/Cyborg- Saxophone
Scorpion- Clarinet
Mayor X- Oboe
Papergirl- Bassoon
Billy Numerous- Percussion (He cloned himself to play multiple drums and cymbals)
Audiosa- Tambourine
Tastebud- Castanets
Chime- Bell chimes (not the powered ones he used)
Gong- Gong (not the powered one she used)
See-More- Piano
Kyd Wykkyd- Guitar
Tochit- Accordion
Padparadscha- Ukulele
TL;DR: My Teen Titans hyperfixation in 2019 was a time of my life I will never get back because of how badly written my OCs were. I also gave the HIVE Academy a band class.

Oded Ezer Workshop (Day 1) - Major Project
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oded Ezer is a graphic designer who specialises in typography and other visual content that is culturally and commercially focused. He gave the year group a series of methods to help us generate "exceptional projects" that have a strong concept. These workshops are designed to make me think quickly about my core interests and specialist practices, which would be supported by sources and other visual inspiration in order to share with Oded and my peers to receive feedback.
Tumblr media
He encouraged us to write down these new methods so that we could use them for this final project, as well as future projects. The first three types of projects consist of a field in which I specialise in, and a different subject (either an authentic message, a topic I'm interested in, or two topics of my choice).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The majority of my ideas were focused on the second and third methods because I'm not interested in most political subject areas. Therefore I thought of random subjects that I'm interested in, such as video games, football, animated movies, and coffee. My intentions were to randomise these "passions" and to develop some conceptual ideas for a final outcome based on my specialist field.
I presented my idea to my peers and Oded about headphones and illustration. My idea consisted of illustrated headphone covers that would be designed as a fashion statement for users to express their personalities. As well as this, I mentioned that this could be portrayed through an ad campaign for a specific headphones brand. in response to my presentation, Oded described my idea as "crazy" because of the fact that it would be difficult to see the illustration style on someone's head.
Furthermore, he found my chosen source strange because of its connection with my idea. I showcased an article about a series of portraits displaying photographs of the different ears within a certain area. I used this source because I could envision a campaign that shows the illustrated headphone cases in different contexts whilst having a diverse series of people using the product.
Oded gave me good advice by saying that I should focus on a subject that I am truly passionate about; such as video games or football because I would be able to talk about my project with enthusiasm. It would make sense to demonstrate my effective development of a practical work methodology that I could talk and write about for future intentions.
Overall, I had a great first day with Oded Ezer because he was able to provide different feedback for everybody who presented, whilst being optimistic about the work that was generated within a short amount of time.

Here is my recap of Pass the Pepto (Ballad) episode of the podcast.
This episode originally aired November 18, 2009.
The #1 song in the country was What You Say by Jason Derulo.
The #1 movie in the country was 2012.
PJ Bloom the music supervisor won the outstanding musical supervision award.
The cast went to the Diversity Awards.
They said it was an interesting experience. It was one of the casts first events all together. Jenna said it was a little bit underproduced. Kevin said it was nice to be able to get together and to meet new people.
Kevin shouted out the History of Glee twitter.
Someone on twitter makes four picture synopsis of episodes. She would like to be on the pr payroll.
Jenna said this is the beginning of her and Kevin being expensive extras. Although to be fair the previous episode was big for them and this one had a lot to do with baby gate.
They do a brief summary of the episode.
This episode contains a lot of uncomfortableness. It makes Kevin queasy and it hurts him to watch it. Jenna said it's a really awkward episode.
Naya's laugh in the middle of the spider in the ear story about Matt is 100% real.
Sarah Drew (Suzy Pepper) was an amazing guest star and very funny. Jenna said she was one of the most excellent guest stars they had and Kevin said she absolutely crushed it. She would later go on to be on Grey's Anatomy.
Brittany thing a ballad is a male duck is one of the best lines.
Glee was best when it used the music as part of the storyline and ot move the storyline further.
I bet the duck's in the hat is the second part of the best line by Brittany.
Tina picks other Asian is slightly inappropriate.
Diana gave a great look when Artie picked Quinn.
All of the songs make Kevin uncomfortable. He had to fast forward through some of the numbers.
Jenna really enjoyed Endless Love because of the uncomfortableness of it.
Rachel's crush on Mr. Shue is really weird.
The crushes are happening this episode.
The Suzy Pepper flashback is so good.
Terri's line when she picks up the phone was great.
She has two scenes in this episode and they are both incredible.
The Don't Stand So Close and Young Girl mash up is incredible but also super uncomfortable. This one really made Jenna uncomfortable. Kevin had to fast forward through this number.
Rachel handing Mr. Shue the beer when he gets home is extra creepy. Kevin said it's like a horror movie. It's 100% inappropriate.
The scene in the car of Mr. Shue taking Rachel home is beautifully shot.
It was fun to get to see everyone sing different genres of songs. Kevin enjoyed Rachel singing Crush.
The crazy meeting crazy of Rachel and Suzy in the bathroom is really funny.
Jenna said haven't we all had a crush on a teacher. Kevin said not all of us.
Rachel saying sorry for being crazy is so funny.
This is Rachel's 3rd crush and we are only in episode 10. This is high school so it is not really that weird.
We meet Quinn's mom and dad. Greg Henry and Charlotte Ross who play her parents are incredible.
Greg Henry is in Scandal.
Jenna said the Chastity ball dress scene is reminiscent of when she was on Drag Race. Kevin said but you were not 16 and Jenna said she was not as far along.
This is the beginnings of Kurt and Finn. We start to see them start to be a family but also Kurt's crush on Finn.
Kevin can't watch Cory sing I'll Stand By You. Not because it's awkward but it's too emotional. He also lost it in the Quarterback when they did that number. It was Cory's first big solo.
Corry was phenomenal in this episode.
Singing to the sonogram was so weird but it works.
I agree with Kevin that I love the relationship between Finn and Carol.
The moment when Romy cries but doesn't cry when she hugs Finn is heartbreaking. It breaks Jenna every time.
Kevin said it makes sense because Romy's emotions are always right there. She will give you everything. Jenna said she is an open book. You can see why she is a good actor. It's so good when an actor can teeter on emotions.
A fan wrote in and told them about the continuity error of Kurt playing the piano. Kurt and the stand in are wearing different colored pants.
Kurt's voice over is so good. Kurt's voice overs really make this episode.
The scene where Kurt is helping Finn look for an outfit was really sweet.
This scene is a really grounding moment and sets up for the future of Burt and Carol.
Then Kurt makes it awkward by telling Finn to sing to Quinn's parents.
Jenna thinks the dinner at Fabray's was shot at a real house.
Finn in the bathroom is one Kevin and Jenna's favorite thing ever. The karate chop reminds Jenna of a scene in Friends with Ross.
Jenna and Kevin hate the song You're Having My Baby. The cast would be silly and say You're Having My Baby.
Diana kept laughing as Cory sang the song to him and Cory kept forgetting his lines because she saw Diana was having a hard time not laughing.
The I have to go or they will think I'm pooping line in the bathroom was brilliant. This whole sequence is so so good. It's really akward.
We get to see Dianna's acting chops in the scene between Quinn and her dad. It's written so well. It's a great scene. It's also heartbreaking.
The scene with Carol afterwards was quiet and easy.
The scene with Kurt confessing and Finn not getting it is great.
Kevin and Jenna like Puck and Mercedes together.
The acting in the scene of Puck telling Mercedes he is the father is really great.
Kevin was excited to do Lean On Me.
Kevin said his voice sounds weird because he was trying to imitate the guide vocal. It wasn't someone who normally did the guide voice for Kevin's parts. He really loved the guys voice and tried to sound like him.
Kevin couldn't record the song to save his life. He had an emotional breakdown. He got to the bridge and he couldn't do it. He couldn't get it sung the way they wanted it to be sung. They pulled him and said someone else would do it.
Jenna also couldn't do it. They ended up combining Jenna and Kevin's parts.
Unfortunately they cut out Amber's verse for the filmed version.
They kept Cory and Dianna from knowing what they were doing with this number. They weren't allowed in rehearsals and saw it for the first time on the day it was shot. They filmed Dianna and Cory's reactions first.
Brittany did her ear thing in this number. Kevin said it was nice to see all the different interactions in this number. They were loose and just enjoying each other's company.
Jenna high fived Naya and Jenna was not well when she rewatched that part for this recap.
This was the first time they brought out the personal fans. For some reason it was so hot on stage that day.
This episode had romance, crushes, and a whole lot of baby gate.
Tartie Takes:
Cringe Moments aka Ouchies - You're Having My Baby, I'll Stand By You, Crush, and Endless Love. Those two storylines are really really difficult.
Worst Dance Move - Will standing on the piano and jumping during the mash up.
Best Song - Jenna said Kevin's vocals on Lean On Me. Kevin said all of Lean On Me.
Kevin said the times they had to fix him the most are the times he likes his vocals the most. Kevin said his voice always sounds like his voice has autotune or melodyne so when his voice has to be fixed it doesn't actually sound that bad.. He said he probably didn't have time to properly warm up or learn Lean On Me. Jenna said it's hard to not duplicate your guide because they were so good.
Best Prop - the pepper
Didn't Age Well - When Quinn's mom said maybe you haven't been exercising enough
Best Line - Finn in the bathroom. Also I think the duck's in the hat. Runner up Tina's line about her rosacea acting up.
Shit We Found On TikTok:
There is a mistake in the STD episode. In the scene where Artie is telling the boys he has an STD in the background on the tv are real Glee credits but in the scene they reference watching Arliss.
Next week is Hairography and their is so much to talk about. Jenna loves this episode.

What the Master Taught
Vagren heaved a sigh. This world’s sky was in night, but he was wide awake. Sounds from outside, the mewling whines and rumbles of speeder and ship engines, the occasional tip-tap of passing feet… the unfamiliarity of it all wouldn’t let him sleep. Sitting up on his futon, he hugged his knees, pushing his brow against them.
Master Shea was asleep. And even though she’d said to come to her, Vagren didn’t want to. He didn’t have the patience with himself to try to fight through another session of trying to explain what he was feeling. Even in home tongue, it wouldn’t be easy.
So he got out of bed, slipping his feet into the soft socks Savage had picked out because they were sewn to look like frog feet. Gē gave a soft trill in her capsule, asleep and dreaming of bugs to catch. Vagren smiled a bit at her, seeing in his own mind the ghost of a large pink flitterfly that the frog was hot on the trail of.
Padding out into the hall, Vagren peered cautiously into Shea’s room. She was also firmly asleep, an ear twitching twice. Good. He didn’t want to wake her. But he did want to move. To walk. To see. Retracing the other to the front door was easy enough but Vagren couldn’t remember how to open it. He cocked his head, peering at the solid barrier. How to get through?
But then, it opened! Vagren flinched a little, but then a wide smile split his face when he saw why it had opened.
“Up late you are, little Vagren.”
“Yoda!” he whispered excitedly, bouncing a little.
The little green man chuckled and motioned for Vagren to follow. “If restless you are, know the cure I do.” His mossy brown eyes wrinkled at the corners. “Hold my hand, you should. Lost, you could become.”
Vagren didn’t hesitate. He liked the odd old man who spoke weirdly. But he had so many questions about him. He would have to be careful; speaking Mer’lā’blīn was easier than Besō and he wouldn’t want to ask something rude. “Y-Yoda?”
“Mm?”
“Can ask?” Vagren pointed at him as the ancient Jedi led him down the corridor.
“Ask anything, you may. Answer, I will.”
Vagren thought a moment, realizing the question might be mean. “Why you small?” Then he rapidly added, “Sorry…”
Yoda chuckled. “Hurt, I am not. Know, you do not. Learn you do, by asking. Always ask.”
They turned a corner and an astromech buzzed by, whistling pleasantly at Vagren as they carried a glowing capsule with an orange egg of some sort floating inside. “Wh… wow…”
This only increased Yoda’s amusement. “Answer the first, I will, before ask another you do. Small, my species is, compared to others. Long, do we live. Hundreds of years old, as I. Different, all beings are. Diverse, the Jedi must always be. However. Only one, like me, there is. An infant he is, but older than even Maul, is he.”
“Diff er ent…” Vagren mulled over everything Yoda had said, allowing himself to be led while he thought. “Jedi… like me?”
“One, there is.” Then Yoda tickled Vagren’s side, drawing a giggle out of the boy. “One of two, we are.”
“What… mm. I am… Dathomer. You?”
There is a pause. “Strange, my people are. Silent in the galaxy, they remain. Know their name, I do not.” But then Yoda smiles. “Hear yourself call “Dathomiri” and “Zabrak”, you will. Understand Basic well, you do. Learn it quickly, you will. Dai Bendu, the language of the Jedi, is. Learn it also, in time, you can.”
“Anorah?”
Yoda chuckled again. “Anorah.”
And then Yoda stopped. “Ah. Here, we are. The Room of a Thousand Fountains, this is.”
Vagren took his attention off Yoda and then forgot everything. This… couldn’t be a room. This wasn’t a whole planet by itself? Trees, flowers and ground plants of every kind spread out before him like some kind of dream. But Vagren couldn’t be dreaming; there were things here that he had never seen before. The low whisper of waterfalls, springs and streams sang up from deep within the terrarium, as did the calls of birds and smaller animals.
“This… anorah? Still?”
“Still, yes. More there is, deeper in, higher up. Caves there are. And…” The diminutive Master shrugged out of his heavier robe, hanging it on a twig, and leaning his cane on a tree. “Hunting to do.”
He moved so agilely that Vagren jumped in shock. Using his three-toed arms and legs, Yoda scampered up the tree he’d hung his robe on as if he was some sort of lizard. Turning with a low cackle, he motioned for Vagren to follow and then headed further in.
Vagren was way ahead of him, shucking his socks and sleep shirt. Then he flung himself at the tree, loving the softness of the moss and the bite of tree bark under his palms and feet. He giggled as he kept low, using hands and feet together. Yoda ran ahead on all fours, swinging up to a higher branch only to have Vagren right on his heels.
“Athletic robes, you will need,” Yoda’s voice ghosted back to Vagren. “Mention it to Serushna, I will.”
The little Zabrak didn’t know what “athletic” meant but when Yoda sprang across a wide gap between trees, turning to watch him, all thought of what he was doing and saying seemed to fade away. There was the jump, and Vagren wasn’t in the Room of A Thousand Fountains. He wasn’t even on Coruscant. He was running through the jungle, the breath of a rancor on his back, desperate to get away.
Yoda was moving before Vagren had the time to jump. The boy wouldn’t make it; his fear was so strong that it seemed to curdle in Yoda’s nose. Jumping back across the breach, he caught the bigger, but still so painfully childish form in his arms. The Force rose up to bear them down and they landed in a soft patch of springy king moss.
“S-sorry,” Vagren said in a quiet, shuddering voice.
Yoda patted his shoulders, shaking his head so that his long ears swayed. “Hurt, you are?”
“Nol- no…” Vagren’s eyes started to sting and he sighed sharply, trying to fight off another cry. This… this was hard. Very hard.
“Afraid to speak your language, you do not have to be,” Yoda assured him, gently resting a hand on Vagren’s striped head. “A punishment, this is not. A refuge for you, this is.”
Large, crystalline tears streamed down Vagren’s cheeks. “Miss… miss home. Miss… Talno.”
The Jedi couldn’t pull Vagren into a protective, enveloping embrace the way bigger individuals could; he was smaller than Vagren. But Yoda tucked the little Zabrak’s head to his shoulder, wrapping his arms around him… and the sharp ache in Vagren’s hearts slowly started to mellow. “Miss home, you will, for some time. Miss you, home does. Sent here for safety, you were. Misunderstand, you must not. True understanding, your lesson, must always be. If learn it you can, wise you shall become. Strong.”
“Hard,” Vagren whispered, fists tight in the sandy colored fabric across Yoda’s slightly hunched back.
“It is. Help, you shall always have.”
“Shea?”
The Jedi chuckled, leaning back to very gently blot Vagren’s tears with his sleeve. “Shea, yes. Others, there are. Tamah uu nev valrael keel, im nev xariel. Lost in the dark, you feel. But lost, you are not. With you, we are.”
Vagren cocked his head. “What is? What say?”
So Yoda sat down on the carpet of moss, feet together, and motioned for Vagren to do the same. He did and then Yoda said clearly, “Tamah uu nev valrael keel, im nev xariel. “You are in the dark, but not the Darkness,” it means. In your language, repeat it.”
Vagren thought for a moment, mentally examining words. “Cā bā onzh sho dō gle nol sho dō.”
Yoda smiled with pride. “Your word for Basic, Besō, is?”
This made Vagren giggle. The way Yoda talked was so… odd. But wonderful. Serious, but silly. “Besō, yes. Say… in Besō?” His answer was a hum. Vagren repeated the saying, then in Basic, and finally, Dai Bendu. Even if Yoda did have to correct his pronunciation a few times.
“There,” Yoda said with a smile as a brightly colored, feathered serpent coiled up over his shoulder, “learning you are. Afraid, you do not have to be. Yourself, you are, and know many things, you will. In time. Patient, you must be.”
The little one sighed, reaching out to the snake, which gave a low, whistling hoot and then slithered on over to Vagren’s outstretched hand. It’s emerald eyes met Vagren’s and then it draped itself about his neck, soft feathers tickling his chin.
“A friend, you have made.”
Vagren stroked the silky creature, liking the quiet fluting noise it kept making in his ear. “Can… I keep?”
“Keep you, he may.” Yoda reached over and gave the snake a head scratch. “An arrak snake, he is. Native to Ithor, they are.”
“Dwa’wā.” Vagren grinned. “He look as… dwa… mm.” He picked up his necklace and waved it. “This. But… not?”
Yoda considered. “On necklaces… a jewel or gem, you mean.”
“Yes! That. Gem… r-road? Or… path…” His head tilted a little. “Path… Wā. Hm.” But then he yawned.
“Time for a good sleep, it is, for you. Back to your mer, we should go. Bring your Dwa’wā, you may.” Yoda gave the boy’s forehead a gentle pat and Vagren stood, taking the old Jedi’s hand. “Learned much, you have tonight. The rest, the body needs. Away from thinking, your brain must go.”
Dwa’wā adjusted his coil around Vagren’s neck, curving around the back of his head, and latticing himself through Vagren’s horns. Then he gave a chirrup and settled his be-feathered head where he could see where Vagren was looking. His call was different from Gē’s, Vagren noticed. Sharper. Readier to hunt. Inquisitive. But he liked Vagren and seemed to think that Vagren needed someone who knew anorah to stick close.
Yoda led Vagren back to the “Speak Friend and Enter” sign. And explained what it meant, pointing at the letters with his cane. Vagren paused before entering and gave Yoda a tight hug again. “Thank you, Yoda. Again?”
“Again, we will do this. Our secret, it will be.”
“Yes.” And he gave the little green fellow a little squeeze before heading off to bed with his new friend. “Mm… O emo cā.”
“Learn what that means, I will.”
“Okay.”
Gē trilled happily when the two entered Vagren’s shadow-heavy room. She and Dwa’wā sniffed at one another, Gē’s mouth opening up all the way to give the newcomer a good look at her blacker than black maw and fangs, and then she promptly hopped onto the snake’s feathered head, clambered up his body and hitched a ride to Vagren’s bed. Vagren had been a little worried Dwa’wā would try to eat Gē, but… the snake seemed to have gotten the message.
They all lay down, Gē on her boy’s forehead and Dwa’wā finding a nice, warm spot coiled around Vagren’s arm. Not too tight though. Vagren’s eyes grew heavy and he smiled. The run had helped his energy but also… everything Yoda had said. His fears were still there, but they’d been cowed and made silent. The hollow pain in his hearts was eased. And the little man was quite tired. Finally, lulled to sleep by Gē’s sweet song as he was nearly every night, Vagren Dragos closed his eyes and went soundly to sleep.

Masterlist || The Office Masterlist || Wattpad
Word Count: 3k
Pairing: Dwight Schrute x Fem!Reader
Warning: Minor spoilers from The Office (Season 4)
English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistake and if you can help me improve it, I will greatly appreciate it. I hope you enjoy it :D
Tumblr media
The day at the office was ending rather quietly by what you were usually used to as there was no Michael Scott bothering you during your last hour of work, no sign of any jokes from Jim to alert you to future yelling of a pissed off Dwight, or a Schrute about to blow up at you over some heated argument over a subject you disagreed on as usual.
Now everything was so peaceful and calm that you thought that this was heaven and not the typical office you worked in but, of course, the Dunder Mifflin office was not exactly what it was for being calm and quiet, but it was so for the typical parties, the diverse personalities of the people and the gossip that surrounded each one of those present.
You, in this case, were involved in gossip with your sales partner, Dwight, in which everyone was pointing out how there was natural chemistry between you and how you, even at the most inopportune moments, were able to pull his boxes to that poor man who only wanted to work, although sometimes it happened the other way around and that caused both of you to end up fighting anywhere in the office.
Many murmured about a romance that was disguised in hatred and driving the other out of their boxes, but it is that there was simply no kind of affection on the part of any of them, there simply was not, and even though you spent most of the time emphasizing it by kicking him in the ankle, stepping on one of his feet or hiding his glasses when he was going to clean them or rest his eyes from the screen, people did not understand those signals and kept saying and muttering the same thing about the two.
But this time everything was very different because the recent rumour of the breakup between Dwight and Angela had not reached your ears and, therefore, you did not understand the low mood of that man with glasses because every time he looked at you He just sighed and looked back at his computer screen.
"You can buy me dinner," Angela said.
When you looked up from the computer you were surprised to see how she had her back to Dwight and that she was telling Andy, who seemed quite surprised by what he was hearing.
"Nothing elegant or foreign, no bars, patios or vegetables," she continued, making you frown at the situation and the conditions she set for the place to go to dinner. And no seafood.
"And by the way, we eat air," you whispered sarcastically before shaking your head and looking back at your computer screen.
Just a few seconds after Angela gave Andy the go-ahead with her ridiculous conditions for choosing a restaurant for dinner, Dwight hurriedly got up from his chair before hurrying out of the office as he was called by a concerned Pam.
At this point, Jim and Pam looked at each other before she nodded for him to come over to the front desk, listening as she called for you to come over to them too to talk.
Surprised, to say the least, you went to the receptionist's position to hear what they wanted to say, but you didn't expect to hear them ask you for such a big favour.
"That I what?" You asked in surprise, frowning as you thought you had misheard what you had been told.
"Talk to him," Pam asked, staring at you with the eyes of a slain lamb, "please."
"And why would I want to talk to that waste of a human being?" You questioned again, seeing how Jim's eyes widened and Pam sighed at the insult. "I don't want to talk to him," you talk.
"He won't talk to us because he trusts us a lot, even if he doesn't seem like it," Halpert spoke, making you raise an eyebrow at him because of how unbelievable his words had sounded. "He has more confidence in me than in you, don't deny it."
"And I repeat, why am I going to talk to him?" You asked for the last time, tired of having to hear the same thing go around in circles.
"Angela and Dwight broke up the other day," Pam announced, making you frown. "They broke up because he did something she maybe shouldn't have done, but she took it so badly that she's now going out with Andy even though she had tried to talk him out of it."
"Wait, they broke up and I've been finding out now?" You asked, sighing. "Well, the breakup had to hurt a lot for her to be like this. How long have they been together? A few months?"
When Jim shook his head and pointed out that they'd been together for over a year, easily dating for two years or more, which made you sigh deeply until you finally realized that Dwight was a lot more hurt than he might seem because If they had still been together for a little more than a few months, then it would be easier and more bearable to get over the breakup, but if they had been together for almost three years, it would be much more complicated.
You ended up accepting, this time without complaining, the task that the salesman and the receptionist had entrusted to you, telling them that they owed you a big fat one for what you were going to do because, as had been saying before, you were not exactly a saint of devotion to Dwight and vice versa, so you would have to manage as best you could to not unleash some barbarity or insult.
You left the office and looked through the windows if your partner's red car was still following, noticing that it was next to yours, so you headed towards the stairs to go to the ground floor and search among all the ones that had the whereabouts of the man, although it would not be necessary to search much since once you had opened the door that led to the stairs you heard some strange moans that gave you goosebumps.
You walked slowly down the steps until you saw that Dwight was on one of the flights sitting on the floor with his face against the wall, like a child who had been grounded by his parents, except that it differed from a child in that he was whimpering. sorry strangers that made you slightly uncomfortable.
"Guess what, macho man, I'm here for you, so get that ass up and go back to the office," you said with false encouragement, patting him on the shoulder so he would notice your closeness, being aware of how he slowly moved and continued doing those weird moans. "You're not going to get up, are you?"
You were answered by a moan that made you sigh, so you sat down next to him with your legs spread, turning your head to the right side to see the man still facing the wall.
Really, what could you say to him? How did you cheer up someone you didn't get along with? Simple, you didn't, but this was Scranton, everything was very different from how one could imagine and even the impossible could be possible.
"I didn't know you could love someone so much," you murmured, looking at your hands, "it would be almost impossible for me to be with the same person for more than five years without them breaking up with me, so I'm surprised."
Dwight made a strange noise again that made you bite your lower lip.
"I've dated three different people and all of them have broken up with me for being a little surly with them at first," you confessed, turning your eyes to him. "You're not like that, Dwight," you said. You are one of the most dedicated men I have ever met, also caring and passionate from what I have seen first hand.
"You didn't need to mention that," he murmured in a strange stammer.
"Man, I almost saw you guys naked in the office and I was glad it wasn't on my desk," you commented. "But the thing is, knowing what I know about you, you won't have to beg any woman to be with you,” you continued. "Not everyone has the position of deputy regional manager, not everyone has a beet farm, not everyone works in a paper company, and no one is like you," you admitted, causing him to be surprised by your words. "I don't know what you did or what happened to make her break up with you, but I know you didn't mean to hurt her because that's not who you are."
Dwight waited for you to say something else but, when he didn't hear you, he slowly turned his head towards you so he could see how this time you were looking at your hands again as if you were hiding or keeping something for yourself.
"It wasn't your fault what happened. I know it wasn't," you murmured. "You did something, of course, but not with bad intentions, and that counts for more than anyone could expect."
When you turned your head towards him and your eyes met you could only smile, for the first time, in his direction, to which he only sighed.
"And everything will be fine from now on, okay?"
You offered him your right hand, while that bright smile remained on your face, to which he moved his left hand slowly until finally they were united by a soft grip that you created, bringing your body closer to his so that he could feel something more support for the situation that was happening.
"And you can cry all you want until you're dry. I'm here for you."
That was all it took for Dwight to lean his head against your shoulder and start crying like a little child while you kept talking to him and stroking his hand like it was a porcelain figure, playing with his fingers and stroking his back from time to time. neck to be able to calm him down little by little.
You easily spent more than twenty minutes with him as he told you about his relationship with Angela and how he felt about freezing her cat, the trigger that made the blonde break up with him.
You were quite surprised, it had to be said, that Sprinkles died at the hands of the seller, but knowing where he came from it was not very strange that he chose to do that, although he could easily have told his girlfriend that it was easier slaughter the animal rather than freeze it.
To your surprise, he didn't reject you as you expected him to but was even grateful that you were the one with him.
"Come on," you encouraged once you noticed that he had already stopped crying. "Let's go to the bathroom to wash your face a little and go to work. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes," he affirmed, nodding, getting up first and helping you to do it anyway.
Still holding hands together, you made your way to the downstairs bathrooms.
(...)
When the office door opened again, everyone turned in their seats to see you laughing out loud along with Dwight, who kept smiling when he heard you, and both of them without being aware of the prying eyes towards your people.
"You're a jerk," you said, suddenly pulling away from him before gently pushing him away in a playful way.
"That will be you, trashy saleswoman," he spoke, disheveling your hair without any remorse, seeing how you tried to keep his big hand away from you.
Pam's jaw dropped to see you being like this with Dwight, stunned by what she was seeing.
"We'll talk about this later. I refuse to let you think that outrageous," you threatened before sitting in your seat and throwing a pen at him, seeing how he took it without problems before dropping it on his desk.
"But I choose the place," he warned, to which you just raised your hands with no objection.
Dwight sat in his chair and you both looked at each other one last time with a smile before going back to work.
Pam and Jim looked at each other before looking back at you, beginning to wonder what the hell had happened between the two of you.

The bunnies’ other jobs!
From my bunny cafe au
((I am so peeved :((( I had this all written out!! And I deleted it by accident!! Darnnnnn!!!))
Anon asked “You mentioned that some of the bunnies have day jobs so do they all have jobs outside the cafe or just a few?” (Something along these lines…again…I deleted it by accident 😔)
👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕
Diluc/‘Angel’
After his father got bored with the wine industry, he passed the whole company off to Diluc on his 18th birthday in order to shift his focus to mining. Diluc found himself swamped with all kinds of business decisions while just barely being an adult. He expanded the company and hired some very trustworthy people to handle things for him so he could finish college
When the business was given to him, Diluc and Kaeya had an explosive fight over it. Kaeya felt like he deserved to have some say in what happens to the business, he’s still a part of the family! But Diluc refused to let him in on any decisions so Kaeya packed his bags and left (not before cussing him out in front of their father, staff and business partners). He was just in a silly, goofy mood. They’re fine now, not on the best terms but they do chat and meet up for lunch on occasion.
He is filthy rich, he couldn’t spend all of his all of his money if he tried, so he doesn’t really need the job at the cafe! Kaeya got him the job because he knew his brother was stuck in a weird, antisocial funk and needed some fun in his life
Diluc loves this job, he has a great time, but it isn’t his main job. His priority will always be the family business!! If he has to quit his job at the cafe, he would in a heartbeat
👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕👯‍♂️💕
Kaeya
Kaeya was going to go into the police academy but was scouted out by a modeling agency. They had seen him at Ragnvindr company events and thought ‘well damn’ so they gave him a pretty generous deal
Kaeya makes a good living off of modeling, the tips and paycheck from the cafe. He rakes in cash pretty quickly just cause he knows how to get it. That, and his dad sends him checks every other month as well. Kaeya thinks of it as ‘I’m sorry’ money. He isn’t wrong
He doesn’t travel much for modeling, which he doesn’t mind, so he kinda just hangs around the city with a lot of free time on his hands between photo shoots. That’s why he got this job at the cafe! It gives him something to do and it’s fun as hell ;)
Albedo
Bedo is one busy bunny. He finished college early and is getting his masters degree online. He works most days at the cafe and on the weekends, he tutors other college students in bio/chem/science related subjects
(He was actually Xiao’s tutor back when he was failing chemistry!! Xiao is very thankful for Albedo’s help!!)
His dream is to become a biochemist, he’s always been interested in cells and what makes up living beings. So having a career in that field would make him the happiest man alive
His mother and sister live outside the city in a more rural area so he spends a lot of time FaceTiming the two of them! Klee is always so excited to hear about Albedo’s experiments or the people he’s met while working in such a bustling, fun city :)
Zhongli
Zhongli is a simple man! He’s a bunny waiter and an artist
He creates intricate pieces based on folklore from different cultures, focusing mostly on dragons. His favorite medium is paint, he loves painting on glass and layering the panes in order to create a 3D piece
He sells his works to galleries, shops and anyone who wants them! As long as they appreciate the story behind the artwork. Sadly…He undersells his work. He could def be making more money but he just does not desire money or material goods the way others may
So he got his job at the cafe in order to help out his dear friend Ningguang, not for money, he only planned on working there for a month or two until she got more bunnies but…he ended up really loving the people he works with :’) he looks forward to working with them now and texts/calls them outside of work to meet up for lunch or bowling (such an old man thing to do omfg)
Dainsleif/‘Sweetie’
Dain was a bouncer at another bar before leaving to come to Celestia’s! He’s good friends with Beidou, they belong to the same motorcycle club so when she was talking to him about the lack of security at the cafe/bar, he stepped in to help out
Little did he know…he’d actually become a bunny…And like it
This is his full time job now, he doesn’t have another for the time being. While he is a bunny at the cafe, he still keeps an eye out for any threats to his coworkers and has access to the offices upstairs (Ningguang’s office and the security office)
When he isn’t waiting tables, he’s upstairs in a tank top and sweatpants keeping an eye on the security cameras and talking to the other security guards through their ear pieces
Ajax
Ajax is a student who doesn’t really have much time on his hands
He mows lawns in the summer and he’s quit his job as a cashier to come work at the cafe! He mostly works night shifts his cause he’s still going to school aaaaaand he’s on his college’s swim team! He’s about to graduate so he works close with his coach to help train the others on the team
He doesn’t really want his family knowing that he skips around in a skimpy bunny outfit and fucking customers most nights but I mean…They’re bound to find out if they see him in pictures people post
Xiao/‘Tofu’
Xiao is an art student!! He wants to be a tattoo artist :)
He’s already got one sleeve of tattoos, it’s unfinished but you can’t really tell just by looking. When he isn’t at the cafe, he’s either in class or shadowing Ganyu, his best friend and tattoo artist. Their art styles greatly differ, she focuses her craft on cutesy, colored tattoos, but she is skilled. And Xiao looks up to her
Xiao admires Zhongli too, they met at the cafe and when Zhongli found out Xiao wants to be a tattoo artist he told him that once he’s licensed, he wants to get a tattoo from him :’)
Baizhu/‘Honey’
Baizhu is a (mostly) full time pharmacist, hence why he isn’t usually at the cafe
He also has a niece, Qiqi, who he babysits often. He loves her very much so he has no problem watching her! Baizhu will even bring her to the pharmacy with him when he’s swamped with work. In the break room, he has a play kitchen, coloring books and a bunch of puzzles to keep Qiqi occupied while he works :)
When he’s not at work, he’s at home resting. He has chronic pain flare ups in his back and shoulders that can make life miserable :( he has plenty of good days that outweigh the bad! And as a pharmacist, he has access to any medicine he needs to make his life easier!
Dottore(Alain)/‘Doc’
Alain’s an oral surgeon who’s a little bit….too into his job
He isn’t phased by blood or gore so he’s easily able to conduct procedures that would make other squeamish. He’ll pull teeth, put in dental implants, remove rotten tissue, any of that without even flinching
Outside of that, he works at the cafe. He wears a mask in order to avoid being recognized even though at his job as a surgeon, he’s usually wearing a medical mask anyways. It’s just a precaution
This has nothing to do with his career but he used to be a tap dancer and actor so he’d join in on local theatre shows! He helped build sets when he wasn’t rehearsing. He doesn’t have time for that anymore (which kinda makes him sadddd) but he has all kinds of theatre playlists on his phone and in his car that he’ll sing along to
Scaramouche/‘Boss’
Scara’s job at the cafe is his main job! His side job is something you may not expect from such a grump
He works at an animal shelter! In fact, he brings cats home to train so they have an increased chance of being adopted. Someone is more likely to adopt a potty trained, socialized cat than a feral cat who doesn’t know what a litter box is. So Scara brings them to his apartment for some one-on-one socializing, training and cuddling
One time he offhandedly mentioned working at an animal shelter while he was working at the cafe and sure enough, three separate customers from the cafe came by to adopt!!! Only one actually took an animal home but he was still surprised that those people had listened to him and cared enough to come by
Scara is a jerk most of the time but when he’s at home…by himself…With a lil kitten sleeping in his lap while he plays games on his PC…Yeah, he softens up a bit
So as you can see, we have a very diverse group working at the cafe! They’ve all learned a lot from each other, come to appreciate each other’s friendship and come to help each other out when one of their coworkers is in need or upset.

Oh-- I really really -really- liked your wolf hybrid Bakugou and-- if you don't mind, can you do one on Kirishima? Just the general headcanons, if this is too bothersome then you can ignore this once again- thank you
Just general headcanons you say? Okay, I had this written 2k words in before I got this ask and now it's at... ehem, let me take a deep breath for this;
Word count: 3.5k 💀 [of HCs 💀💀💀]
Why do I keep doing this to myself aksdjkd I love Kiri so much, my god! Thanks for the ask!! 💗
[ Masterlist ]
Hybrid!AU Kirishima Eijirou HCs
Tumblr media
× i mentioned him as a dog hybrid and we're sticking with it because it just feels right, yano? anyway!
× you found out about how the new hybrid shelter in your city helped bust a fighting ring
× which was horrifying to think about
× one of your friends explained the process to you and you were definitely interested in helping someone out
× shelters were still underfunded and didn't provide much to help the hybrids adapt to society
× so you found yourself in front of the shelter without a plan
× just a dream and a spare couch that could thankfully convert into a bed
× before you could chicken out you stormed through the doors like a mad person, catching the attention of the guards and the front desk man
× it surprised you how disinterested they were though; were they seriously the people that dismantled a whole illegal fighting ring?
× they called a sweet old lady to accompany you
× when you explained your situation her eyes sparkled, looking you up and down and nodding her head
× she took you through some hallways, showing you around the precinct, questioning you about what type of hybrid you'd want
× to which you honestly didn't know how to respond, like anyone you could help????
× it kinda pissed you off how she spoke about the hybrids like they were pets, suggesting you'd get a kitty or a bunny, since [her words] they were low maintenance
× is this really a good shelter?
× you looked around, finding prison like cells left and right, some with people that looked at you curiously, some covering from your glance
× they were locked in...
× some growling could be heard far away but the woman shook her head at you, disapproving gaze turned to the side as she took you further into the building
× another room, this time cells were bigger, a few occupied, yet covered from you, indiferent and uninterested
× a man was sitting on the edge of the bed, hands in his hair
× "Kirishima, boy, get up to greet someone"
× his red eyes snapped up, whatever he was thinking about slowly forgotten
× he blinked curiously as you hugged your frame, feeling uncomfortable, even ashamed to be there
× but a sweet smile took over his features
× "Hey! I'm Kirishima Eijirou!"
× it's really all it took for you to grow fond of him; he got up and came closer to the entrance of the cell and introduced himself in such easy-going manner you forgot about everything and anything
× he calmed you with his presence, even if it was very disheveled, with old ripped clothes and hair messy, painted red with obvious dark roots showing
× he had a black fluffy tail waving slowly behind him too
× you introduce yourself with his encouragement and mumbled how you wanted to help someone out today
× he just smiled at you, taking you in
× let me tell you something about dog hybrids: they can sense emotions and intentions so Kiri would be a very good judge of character and he really, genuinely took a liking on you
× the problem is how the fuck do you say out loud that you wanted to help him out
× because you sure as hell weren't going to say you'd adopt him; he's not a child? we're talking about a grown ass man here? literally looked like 6'4ft/1.95m?????
× it was so shameful, your gut turned as you cursed society and he sensed it, expression changing, falling a little as he saw you look very out of place
× "Hey, hey, everything's gonna be fine!" he said
× he told YOU that
× instead of YOU telling HIM those words;;; you almost burst into ugly crying, forgetting about everything else, your minuscule problems or shame or whatever and just nodded at him
× "Would you like to come home with me, Kirishima?" you said, ignoring the happy clapping the old lady was doing, watching carefully how his expression, clear as water, switched from easy-going and reassuring to shocked then hopeful
× "I'd like that" he breathed out "—a lot."
× as you went out the lady was telling him it was a shame they separated his group of friends, something about being sent to different shelters, how he had to be a good boy, to behave, yada-yada and seriously;;; he was taking it so lightheartedly, as if he was so used to this behavior or even was thankful for it?
× it was starting to get annoying, specially when they gave you a collar for him, like no fucking thanks, but you'd take care of it later
× since it was very random and unplanned, you were making mental gymnastics to figure out what to get and what to do first, like clothes, food—
× journey home was pleasant as he walked close to you, asking you questions about yourself with a gentle smile on his features
× meanwhile people got out of both your ways because he was intimidating and big and large but his smile screamed sunshine
× all while he never really mentioned anything about himself
× you made a point to ask him if he was hungry, to grab a quick bite at any restaurant you could get at then go buy some clothes and necessities
× you were so casual and this guy was so shocked
× i swear, looks at you blinking stupidly then ✨beams✨
× spoiler alert; big boy was hungry
× it didn't matter honestly, just seeing him eat without a worry [even if everyone at the restaurant was wary of him but got a stink eye from you] was a relief
× since you answered his questions about you, you decided to ask some about him; you were going to be roomies soon so might as well get to know each other
× shocked again
× stops mid-bite when you ask him something and stares wide-eyed
× doesn't answer but you can see he wants to and you're confused??
× "did I—... did I say something wrong?" you'd press, scared you'd spook him away or something
× he just gulps down and looks ashamed
× casually tells you they've been told at the shelter owners don't care about them
× 🙃 say what now bby?
× he kinda starts apologizing because he understands why you wouldn't wanna know and you put your hand on his; kinda mutes him for a second
× "Kirishima, we're gonna live together and hopefully be friends in the process, right? I'd like to know about you, as much as you're willing to tell me"
× [ falls in love right then and there ]
× he's met humans before, many actually—
× even in the short weeks he's been at the shelter he's seen people come and go and none talked to him like you did
× stares with stars in his eyes and chuckles awkwardly, blush on his face
× "You're really nice, [Y/N]" he said before eagerly answering your questions; course, it leaves you confused lmfao but you brush past it
× okay! shopping next, long story short it was very hard to find hybrid clothes for his size so you pick to change human clothes and adjust them for him
× as you again mention this stuff casually he's just awestruck
× when you got home, bags in hand, you were explaining to him how you really didn't have much; you were working to get a promotion soon but for now you had a couch that could open up into a very comfy bed, which he assured you it was enough
× you were lowkey unsure if he fit it because like i mentioned, big boi is big
× he does! so that's a relief but you started considering giving him your bed; you mostly fell asleep on the couch anyway and to be fair, it was really comfortable and you mention it as he looks around
× his head snaps at you, wide eyed, yet does not talk
× so you ramble bc that's something fun to do! "I mean I went to the shelter without a plan and uh, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and maybe the bed is a better fit and—"
× Kirishima Eijirou sees: 💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
× has never been treated like this, like he's an... equal... something he'll take months to share with you, but we're getting ahead of ourselves
× the thing is this boy will fall pretty hard pretty fast, but will definitely take time to make a move
× bc he is respectful
× so he thanks you for the offer and tells you it's probably the best place he slept in all his life
× can your heart stop breaking for him? i mean it's a good couch but it's no luxury hotel bed???
× [ we need to pause, OP made herself sad ]
× ok, so he's really helpful around the house, and he knows how to cook!
× takes no time to talk about his friends, special his best friend that cooked for everyone at the fighting ring and forced them all to help and that's how he was pretty decent at cooking himself
× wasn't the best though, but followed instructions like a boss
× he lives for your compliments
× literally his tail wiggles with no shame
× seriously;; tell him he did a good job even at the dumbest thing and—
× puffs chest
× wiggle-wiggle
× "Thanks!"
× 🥺💕💞 make him stop, he's so cute
× did i mention he has like floppy black ears? Omg his earsssssssssshnnngggggggggg
× because they move whenever he walks and they're mesmerizing
× and one day that you're observing them for science [not because your heart was like 💘pom-pom💘] you noticed his roots
× remember when your heart broke for him? hah, have some more because as you asked him, he started telling you that he was pushed into dying his hair red for the spectacle, diversity and what-not
× reassured you he grew to love it now, being part of who he is
× also gets a little bit shy when adding he wouldn't want to change the color in hopes of finding his friends someday and for him to be easily recognizable
× you bought him hair dye that same day
× WHICH! apart from gaining extra 🥺💕💞 from him, it created a nice routine between you two!!
× you offered to dye his hair and it was such a great time; he made you laugh, conversation going just as easy whenever you talked, you got to know each other a little bit more and—
× heh
× at the end, after applying all the red hair dye, you massaged his scalp gently
× guess who melts in your hands? yes, giant ass dog-man melts into a puddle under your hands and it's the cutest fucking thing you've ever seen
× I'm serious, he sighs and leans into your gloved hands with zero [0] shame, eyes closed and peaceful expression on his features apart from a small smile
× you tease him and he laughs it off, but promise him you'd give him head scratches when he was finished with the dye, washed off and hair dry
× and you better deliver
× "Don't think I forgot!" he'd say as he'd hop on his make-shift bed in the living room by your side, tail moving from side to side
× as you start playing with his locks, he falls into your lap and starts snoring
× move an inch and he opens his eyes to look at you confused
× puppy eyes questioning you if you're leaving 🥺
× yep, you fall asleep together
× you point out to yourself that those puppy eyes will be the death of you
× he's a touchy guy, okay? since he's been touchy with you from the very start you never questioned it, even read on the internet that many hybrids descended from house pets need physical affection, like hugs, pats, scratches, all the bag, so it wasn't a big deal for you
× except it was a big deal because he's been around for a month and you're already catching feelings and that's bad because you did not bring him there to fall for him but to help him start a new life and—
× oh my god, what if he thought you were one of those people from the horror stories about hybrid adoption that only wanted them for one thing—
× no, no, no, nO, NO.
× anxiety was getting to you as the guilt of catching feelings for him, plus the fact that he was financially dependant on you for the time which would've made it even worse if he found out, PLUS he comes from such a rough life, he definitely needs a break and doesn't need his first human friend in forever to be a piece of;;;
× Kiri catches on this really constant and increasing feeling of anxiety; he starts to send you worried glances but doesn't know how to proceed
× in such a soft voice he asks if you're okay, if something is on your mind
× and since you weren't sharing anything but acted as if everything was alright even when he felt you lied, Kiri started to get worried too
× why were you anxious? why weren't you talking to him about it?
× oh, god, was he a burden? because he felt like one;;; did you want him out? he felt like an extra weight for you and wanted to do something about it but maybe you got sick of him? he felt unmanly...
× the fact that he knew he cared about you as more than just a friend made him even more anxious and it didn't help that whenever he touched you he heard your breath hitch or your heart beating louder; he got his hopes up then down because
× you smelled like people; people he didn't know, people he wanted to know because he needed to know why did you smell like them? were they a treat? were they potential partners? he really did not want to ask bc Kirishima felt like it wasn't his place to know
× as tension grew in the house you decided to gift him a new phone, ready to give him some news that reached your ears
× it seems Kiri himself liked to do sports and mainly jog to keep himself active and he's started to pass by the local dog-park to play with the dogs
× imagine your surprise when a few neighbors asked you if he'd be willing to train their dogs bc he's been teaching them stuff like once a week and the dogs listened
× big time dog whisperer; he says "Sit" to one dog and all dogs in the neighborhood sit too, you get me?
× so you said it would be nice for him to have his own money; not like you didn't help him without care, but you saw his face every time you bought something for him and really felt like he needed some real independence
× he's in ✨awe✨ because you came up with clients already that were very eager for dog training sessions, which he loved??? and suggested hours, wages??????
× and you gave him this new phone to help him with it if he's interested too?
× "Well, the normal price on the internet around the area is—"
× "[Y/N]."
× "Hmm?"
× "You're really amazing, you know that, right?" he'd have his lips curled into a sweet smile
× which makes your heart go crazy and this man notices how you get flustered
× loves it
× get ready for compliments; a lot of compliments just expecting your sweet flustered reactions
× he's slow at realizing your feelings for him because he beats himself down and seems himself as less of a man but tests the waters nonetheless and a d o r e s every time you struggle to thank him for said compliments and don't know how to continue functioning
× catches on and gets his hopes up
× and so you do
× listen, this is hilarious because you're both dumb idiots and want to be respectful towards the other meanwhile he hugs you tighter and for a little bit too long, loving how you melt into him, kisses you on the cheek and sees you get all flustered, looks at you like you're the only one to ever matter until you stop talking, turning everything into a giant mess of silence until you both grin at each other???? I'm getting second-hand embarrassment, just kiss???????
× and it happened with an accidental kiss
× you greeted him as he walked through the door, excited to tell him about your promotion, rambling about the take-out you ordered while he smiled at you
× and it started to be usual for you to greet him with a kiss on the cheek, right? just what normal roomies do, you know [mhmm~]
× he's taking his shoes off and knows the kiss is coming, but just before you press it on his cheek you whisper/squeal "I got the promotion!" to which he turns his head in surprise at you making your lips press together by accident [mhhhmmmmm~~~]
× cue both of you apologizing, looking like a mess
× he's blushing
× you both loved it
× why are you standing so close to each other?
× why did he lick his lips in daze while staring at yours?
× which one of you was leaning in for another kiss?
× it didn't really matter because he's kissing you slowly, taking you into his arms like you were made of porcelain
× glues his body to yours and breathes you in, lips locked, neither believing it was real
× lifts you up in his arms with no difficulty and smiles, both inches separated from another; "Congratulations..." his breath would fan over your face;;;;
× yeah, okay, he takes no time to confess, resulting in a mess of manly words skdjekldj you guys talked that whole night while cuddling and stealing kisses, you on his lap
× [ his nose brushing your neck; he loves your scent omg ]
× it becomes official pretty much instantly and then all your worries wash away
× all the anxiety, all the stress and overthinking, they've all been sorted out in one night and trust me, afterwards this man is pure honesty and loyalty
× he won't hesitate to talk to you about anything and will be such a patient sweetheart with you, listening to every word you say without judgment
× loves cheesy stuff? as in the most cliché stuff seen in movies? that's his shit right there; whenever you two see each other after some time apart [sometimes 5 minutes apart] he'd pick you in his arms and spin you around, then expect you to kiss him
× if you don't, i will skfjdkfk step aside 👀
× skin contact; please, touch him
× if you're not he sends you those famous puppy eyes and we all know they're killer
× sighs, happy to hold you tight against him, engulfing you into his big frame; yeah, you're where you belong, in his arms.
× everyone in the neighborhood loves him; it's ridiculous, seriously, because you find out he helped around all the time when you were at work and gained everyone's love
× makes an instagram account to teach people how to train their dog and becomes an internet sensation, a small celebrity
× also bc he's hot and sometimes posts working out pics
× skdksjs imagine this: makes dinner for both of you, lits up some candles, goes all in, then fucking posts it on ig saying "waiting for my baby to come home #surprise" forgetting you can see it lmfao
× you see the story on your way home and 🥺💞 "ye i love his oblivious ass"
× soft gasps when you tell him after dinner
× has the audacity to be surprised, like babe????

Shingeki no Kyojin Headcanons: 104th training corps (College AU - Outfits pt II)
Part I | College AU HCs
Part II of the outfits/aesthetics headcanons - College AU that would (kinda) be included in the oneshot I'm working on.
IMPORTANT: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin nor the trend of this outfits-displays, only this HCs belong to me. // Contains spoilers (for the icons that I used in some characters) // English is not my first language, so I ask for your patience and understanding.
Tumblr media
Historia Reiss
She has a huge wardrobe and so well organized by color, textures, and sizes. From halter tops to maxi dresses, our queen really dresses like one.
Forever in love with skirts and dresses with patterns and/or pastel colors. But don’t get confused, girl has range.
So, one could see her wearing monochromatic ensembles one day and the other, she’s all dressed up with some bright color pieces matching a patterned shirt.
Also owns a vast collection of jewelry and accessories both original and classy. And let’s not forget the shoes: sneakers, heels, boots, sandals and cute little anklets to match. I swear she can make crocs look boujee.
Contrary to what people think, she doesn’t support fast fashion industry. Aware of her privilege, she knows she has the money and time to buy from small businesses and keep herself trendy.
Last but not least, and kind of clothing related: Historia loves taking Ymir to thrift shopping dates and later go eating at some indie cafeteria. The lifestyle is also part of the outfit, alright?
Tumblr media
Ymir
Her wardrobe consists in comfortable clothes and not giving a fuck. All her clothes give Rockstar lesbian vibes (stan this queen). Her designated color palette is based on dark shades, so it’s a real contrast between her outfits and Historia’s.
Loves combat boots and her wasted Converse TM, although her favorite pieces from her apparel are bomber jackets, coats, sweaters, and hoodies.
Ymir also wears a fair amount of stainless-steel accessories, mostly chunky rings and chains. Moreover, is common to find her listening to music, therefore, earphones are a fashion statement really.
Speaking about must-wear, this girl likes to paint her nails black but due her anxiety she tends to scratch the painting off so it gives this grunge look (don’t romanticize this fellas).
Historia would suggest her some trends or give her advice about color, but being honest, Ymir has a very well-defined style at this point.
Now, about her dress style: She won’t dress like a metalhead nor grunge (at least not intentionally). And she wouldn’t define her style as dark, it’s just what it is.
Tumblr media
Reiner Braun
He wears lots of denim in jackets and jeans but also owns a couple of dress pants that combines with beanies or simple caps. Also, has plenty of plain simple shirts that fit his strong body.
Reiner usually wears opaque shades of all colors. Another fact, he’s not a big fan of patterns unless we’re talking about sweaters. He also wears jackets yet avoids cardigans and hoodies.
A very important thing to know, Reiner has a lot of gym clothes, he works out daily so don’t be surprised.
Most of those clothes are joggers, pants, shorts, and t-shirts that look as if he ripped them off or something.
Actually, a lot of his clothes look like they’re about to be ripped apart due his huge ass pectorals (please, Reiner, let me rest gently on your pecs). Just kidding, his whole wardrobe fits him perfectly.
Finally, if Reiner had to define his style in a sentence, he’d probably acknowledge that he gives the impression of a rich a-hole, but really, Rei just likes to be comfortable and presentable at all times. So, rich white guy it is for now.
Tumblr media
Bertolt Hoover
Bertie is that one friend that always carries a cardigan or sweater just in case, also because he tends to lend his clothes if a friend of his is in need. So thoughtful, our big baby.
His wardrobe is amazingly well organized, and its color palette is unmatched. Lots of blue, brown, beige, white and black.
We know he’s tall enough to call everybody’s attention every time he enters a room. And being as shy as he can be, he avoids brilliant colors or striking pieces. Instead, he chooses simpler outfits.
Bertolt follows this formula every time: pants, shirt, sweater. Everything clean and discrete.
Now if we must talk about his shoes, Berts prefers some white sneakers or modest dress shoes. He wouldn’t say he owns a vast collection, rather, he keeps a fair amount for different occasions.
No tattoos nor piercings. Speaking of which, it’s so rare to see him wearing any accessories at all. Maybe he'll carry with him an analogical clock, and that's it. Although if someone gave him a friendship bracelet you can be sure he'll wear it all-the-time.
Tumblr media
Annie Leonhart
Lots of denim for her jackets and jeans. Hoodies, bands merch and graphic t-shirts.
Her clothes’ color palette has range but nothing too pastel or colorful. Instead, she gets all the opaque version of the pieces she likes.
Not that Annie hates dresses or skirts, it’s just unusual for her to even think about wearing them. She prioritizes being comfortable, and tight/short clothes can’t provide her that feeling.
Hates slim clothes unless it’s a tank top or something similar. She just prefers oversized hoodies and mom jeans. Also, if Annie can avoid skinny pants, you can be sure she will.
Owns a fair amount of gym clothes because she also likes to train but most of the times, you’ll see her running around campus, really. She’s a simple woman with simple pleasures.
Annie is the personification of ‘looks like she could kill you, is an actual cinnamon roll’, from her attitude to her clothes. So beware, for she’s the queen of looking rude with her chains around her belt, and her ring to match but don't let her fool- holy shit, that thing can actually stab someone. As I was mentioning, such a sweet gal, isn’t she?
Tumblr media
Hitch Dreyse
She can make it boujee with so little effort (and money), lemme tell you. Wears her clothes with such an attitude and class. Hitch's an actual wine-mom, or aunt maybe? she gives those vibes.
People have the impression from her style, that her parents are rich, but nothing could be further from the truth. It’s just that Hitch knows how to dress. (Also, we know that for a fact sis has a scholarship, okay?) ANYWAYS,
Miss here is forever in love with white and baby blue. Owns plenty of jeans but also dress pants and culottes that wears with blazers or shirts that make her look like a princess with a diversity of fabrics such as satin, silk-alike texture, and cotton.
Hitch is the queen of heels. Although she hates very high ones, she rocks shorter heels and walks in them with little to no effort. Or at least looks like it. All of her shoes are classy yet unique.
Now, let’s talk about her collection of accessories. Hitch likes her jewels in gold and only buys signature pieces: rings, earrings (for her four lobe perforations, two in each ear) and necklaces, of course. Yes, it is gold but in modest designs. Sounds fair, right?
Tumblr media
Marlowe Freudenberg
Our big boy in here thinks that he should look presentable at all times since he’s the Chief Editor of the History student’s academic journal at Paradis’ Uni. Not that he cares a lot of his appearance, really.
And that’s actually cute because he puts effort into his outfits. Marlowe would be one of those straight guys that are hygienic and know how to dress and has no fragile masculinity.
Cologne is a must and part of his attire just like handkerchiefs are, because at the same time, he was raised to be the classic gentleman TM.
Marlowe dresses in all colors; he can’t choose a favorite one or a never-changing palette. He’s aware of season colors too and plays that at his wardrobe favor.
Yet for his outfits he’d follow few simple rules: oxfords (cleaned), dress pants (somewhere between slim fit and straight leg), some polo/dress shirt/cotton thing-y for top and a sweater / cardigan / blazer if season demands it.
Finally, our favorite student-editor spends some time of his routine shaving his face and styling his hair, albeit wouldn’t consider himself a vain guy nor full of himself. Lowkey expects Hitch to notice his appearance. Such a sweetheart.

It’s often hard to find posts that are pro-kink and pro-ace, so I decided to make one.
I was going to start this off with a list of statements that “can and should coexist” but for much the same reason that this post is going to be an essay unto itself, it is too complicated a subject to condense into such a nice pithy format. Recently I have reblogged some posts in favor of the presence of kink at pride. I have not changed on this regard but unfortunately this issue is also used by exclusionists to direct attacks at a-spec people. As such it is often hard to find posts that are pro-kink and pro-ace, so I decided to make one.
The queer community is a massive and diverse group and with that diversity comes conflict. There is no one size fits all solution. What helps one part of the community will not necessarily benefit another. Gay bars are a great place to meet people. They are also loud, crowded, and serve alcohol which makes them difficult for people with sensory over stimulation or substance abuse issues. So people who want these spaces are often accused of being prudes and people who want to include kink at pride are often accused of being deviants. And oddly I can think of a historical figure who has had both of these accusations leveled at him. Cue historical flashback for a Very Special Episode.
Richard Berkowitz was in his own words an S&M Hustler. He was a sex worker and professional Dom. He is Jewish, lives in New York, has a degree in Journalism from Rutgers and called his mom in New Jersey everyday. He is also one of the co-inventors of Safe Sex.
In the early 80s he was diagnosed with GRID. Gay Related Immunodeficiency which would later be called AIDS. He was a patient of Dr Joseph Sonnabend along with another man Michael Callen. Sonnabend was himself a gay man and an immunologist. Sonnabend hypothesized that GRID was spread through sex and was caused by “immune overload.” This was a hypothesis that was not popular in the gay community at large because many felt it validated the homophobic abuse that was constantly flung at the community. Sonnabend was not giften with words and was terrible as a science educator so Berkowitz and Callen teamed up to help him get the word out.
While the 60’s was known for the Free Love movement for straight people the seventies saw the repeal of many anti sodomy laws and it was the decade of free love for gay people. Many saw promiscuity as a part of that liberation. It should also be noted that at the time I am talking about no one knew yet what caused GRID, so the hypothesis that it was caused by promiscuity was viewed as tantamount to blasphemy. I should also note that Dr. Sonnabend was not claiming to be above promiscuity. He himself frequented gay bathhouses where many gay men would meet to have sex. Berkowitz and Callen met through Sonnabend and together worked to help Sonnabend to spread the word. Their first attempt was an article in the New York Native a local gay newspaper titled “We Know Who We Are.” The Native editorial staff insisted on a subtitle, “Two Gay Men Declare War on Promiscuity.”
Berkowitz and Callen were immediately reviled by the gay community of New York. They were accused of being prudes and self hating gay men. But they kept following Dr. Sonnabend and helping him communicate his findings and theories to the populace even if no one would listen to them. The next year was hard of them and journalism work wasn’t paying the bills for Berkowitz. He eventually returned to work as a Dom. However this time he worked with clients who wanted to be Dominated but not penetrated. As time went on he found ways of doing his job that minimized risk for both him and his clients. This led him and Callen to write a pamphlet on sexual health called “How to Have Sex in an Epidemic: One Approach” In it they explained the basics of Safe Sex that are now taught in Health Classrooms in the US. One of my favorite tips they gave was to love your partner even if it is just for one night. If you love them you won’t want to risk hurting them and you will be more careful.
The fate of different gay venues would continue to be a hot button issue in the community even to this day. There were arguments made about closing gay bars, sex clubs, and bathhouses in the name of public health. And there were arguments made to keep them open because many feared if they closed down they would never open again.  
So what am I getting at here? Well really I just wanted to highlight how the needs of the community can conflict with themselves. And how that conflict has always been part of the community. We need a diversity of spaces in order to embrace the diversity of our community. We need non sexual spaces. We need them for our a-spec siblings and so that I can go on a nice date with a guy and talk in peace and safety without having my ears blown out by a subwoofer. We need loud party spaces. We need places we can dance and grind and flirt with strangers. We need sexual spaces where people who are interested in kink can explore that interest with like minded people.
And finally we need to acknowledge that kink is an integral part of our community. Our community was built by sex workers and we need them. First and foremost they are a part of our community and they are valuable in their own right. But further, for many reasons that are too numerous to name many members of our community will experience their first time with a professional. Many queer people will for numerous reason be sex workers. Their involvement in our movement can help make us resistant to those who would sanitize Pride. It can make our events advertiser unfriendly and help keep corporate greed from monetizing our identities. We have to remember that although our community is becoming more respected, that respectability is not the goal. Liberation is the goal.
The First Pride was Riot.
