#i think my average is around 95
Text
Nobody asked for this but it's time for an essay on Spock's body temperature.
Some people say Spock would have a hot body temperature because he is from a hot planet.
Others say he would have a cold body temperature because he is from a hot planet.
It seemed to me that we could test this thesis! Do animals from hot climates have a hotter or colder body temperature than animals from cold climates?
Humans have a roughly average temperature for mammals, 98.6 F (37 C).
Penguins have a core temperature of 100-102 F. Polar bears have a temperature of 98-99 just like we do. They can maintain this temp even in 40 below zero temps!
What about hot weather animals? The camel can vary from 93-104 F—a huge range, but on average around the same as ours. The elephant also has a large range, 95-99 F.
The coldest-blooded mammal is the echidna, at 89 F. The hottest is the hummingbird, at 107. Neither of these is from an extreme environment. It's more about the metabolism: the echidna's is slow and the hummingbird's is fast.
And yet, you see the range is not very great among mammals. This is because many enzymes work efficiently at these temperatures. Above about 104 F, some start breaking down. By 131 F, there's not much enzyme activity that can happen.
Okay, so: Vulcans. We know that they will not have an especially warm or cool body temperature because of the climate. Since they're warm blooded (an assumption, I admit! But I will defend it later) they will have an ideal core temperature their body will function best at and have features to maintain that despite the heat.
Note: Vulcans can also survive more extreme cold than humans; that's why Spock has to help Bones in a blizzard in All Our Yesterdays. This makes sense to me, because desert climates like Vulcan are prone to extremes. It might get very cold there at night with little moisture to trap the heat. This is one reason I think Vulcans are warm-blooded—a cold-blooded creature would have been useless in a blizzard. The other reason is that cold blooded creatures have a slower metabolism in general, and Spock could not possibly be described as slow moving or slow thinking.
Okay, so what is the Vulcan metabolism? Is it faster or slower than humans? My guess is faster, because of their fast heart rate, strength, and quick thinking. That said, we don't have solid proof either way. It might make sense for them to have a slower metabolism so that their body produces less heat and is less likely to get into the enzyme denaturing zone on a hot Vulcan day.
Which brings us to another question: how do they beat the heat? They seem perfectly comfortable in their climate, they're not using behavioral practices to stay cool as humans from hot climates do. They must have ways to efficiently radiate heat from their core. Those ears, for instance. Remember elephants? Their huge, flappy ears are a major cooling mechanism for them. They are able to push more blood through the small capillaries of their ears in hot weather and restrict it when the temperature drops at night. This is called vasodilation—controlling blood flow to either shed or retain heat. We do it too, though not as much. When you're hot, your ears will be hotter. Out in the cold, your fingers and toes will get much colder than your core.
Like camels, elephants can maintain a larger range of body temperatures than humans can. That's another coping technique they have. Other ways to shed heat include sweat and panting.
I never really imagined Vulcans as very sweaty. In a desert climate, methods of cooling that involve water loss wouldn't be ideal.
Here's my guess: they are extremely efficient at regulating core temperature by controlling blood flow. In hot temperatures, their skin and especially their ears would be hot, but their insides would be maybe 100 degrees. When it cools down, their skin would be very cool to the touch, but they would keep a core temperature in the 90s. They might also be able to speed up and slow down their metabolism somewhat to control their temperature.
So. On the Enterprise, which is kept at a comfortable temperature for humans...I think Spock would be a little chilly to cuddle. If you want a warm cuddle with Spock, go to his quarters, where he keeps it nice and toasty.
This has been my xenobiology deep dive for today.

RANT ABOUT HAWKS
Thinking about Keigo's wings, and how a lot of people like to base Keigo's wings on a Red-Tailed Hawk. The average wingspan of RT-Hawks are just under 5 feet, and so if we scale it up by about 3.1x (taking the average size of a TRH and matching it as close as possible to Keigo's height.) Then multiply that by the average wingspan, (Lets say 4ft 2inch). Keigo would have a wingspan of around 13-15ft, depending on the size, so about 14ft.
From what we have seen, Keigo soars in the sky, like a Hawk would do. Understanding how a Hawk is able to soar, you would know that it conserves a lot of energy by doing so. We see that Keigo gets bored while flying during work, as its takes so little energy that it would quite literally not require him to concentrate on flying at all. (Theoretically, he could soar the skies effortlessly without even thinking, second nature type shit.) This allows him to use his eyes to scout the ground below, or shift his body during flight.
We also know that Keigo states that he is not powerful, and relies on speed and agility. Keigo can also manipulate his feathers to sharpen them, use them as blades, sense things around him, and pick people or object up. We know his feathers are incredibly strong, specifically the calamus, or quil. If we take that into account, we can theorize that Keigo could probably lift close to a ton with his feathers. We know this because when Hawks rescues the civilians in the collasping building in the nomu fight, he is carrying well over 20 adults (possibly 30-60), the average weight of a human being anywhere from 120-200 lbs. Even as a child, Keigo has saved adults during the high-speed car accident, meaning Keigo's feathers have always been strong.
Knowing all of this, we can safely say, I have no idea where this is going other than Keigo is stupidly fast, smart, and strong. Even if we only see two aspects, his speed and wit, we also get bits of how powerful his wings are.
BY THE WAY, Keigo is stupidly resiliant... He lands on his back, tumbling and recovered within the instant, adjusting his wings for balance as he runs at an inhumane speed, not only backwords, but squated, or knees bent close to 90°, any other hero would more than likely have taken the fall, stayed down for a good while then recovered.
Keigo is also impulsive, manipulative and aware. He can read others better than they think, he states how he is impulsive and can't control himself when he wants something. He snuck his way into Twice's brain along with 95% of the PLF. Keigo is so casual about how he presents himself, that people never notice how alert he is.
Oh and and and, THIS IS IMPORTANT. KEIGOS WINGS ARENT CONSTANTLY SENSITIVE. We knows this because canonically, kids and adults touch and mess with his wings when he deals with his fans. We only see his feathers detect sounds, vibrations, etc. when he concentrates to do so. Meaning he needs a lot of brainpower to "listen in" through his feathers. If they were constantly sensitive, then he wouldn't be able to use them during combat, rescue, or near others.
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
(Edit: spelling)
(Side Note: I could keep going, I really could... but if I did this would be stupidly long.)

Obey me! height headcanons
This isn’t revolutionary but I couldn’t stop thinking about this, especially asmo’s. For reference, I’m 5’2 and almost all of my shoes have platforms or are raised in some way because I like pretending I am taller than I actually am 💋 although in this case I think I’m winning for once (please tall people let me know what it’s like, the tallest person in my family is my dad at 5’5)
While I half wanted to make them unnaturally tall but I kept them within human possibility since these were their humans forms
1. Beel
100% the tallest, a beefcake of a man. Perfect for a boost up high, like during hanging up decorations or cleaning. When it’s the twins birthday, it’s a struggle to hang up the decorations. Nobody is as reliable as him. I imagine he’s about 6’3 or 6’4. The best for using scary dog privileges, going anywhere with him guarantees elite treatment. It would be so easy for me to get piggy back rides cause he wouldn’t want to leave me behind
2. Lucifer
He can’t be that far behind. I imagine him at like 6’2. Part of the reason people are scared or HoL is because of his height. Me personally, I’m scared by anyone I have to look right up at and he definitely falls in this category. Lucifer would make me shit my pants. At least Beel isn’t consult scowling and yelling. Would definitely use his height to my advantage, like making him clear a path for my through a crowd or to tell the fast food worker I wanted no pickles on my burger.
3. Levi
I definitely picture him as a taller dude, but nobody can every guess because he has terrible posture and is always staring down. Like, tall Levi is doing something for me. Lanky little gamer guy that no one knew was actually like 5’10 because 95% of the time he’s at home and the other 5% is when he’s playing a game.
4. Belphie
Another one I picture as lanky, but is constantly asleep so people don’t realize. He’s always curled up somewhere. Another sloucher 100%. He still insists on being carried around by Mammon even though he’s taller. Probably 5’9 or 5’10
5. Satan
I feel like he’s the Mr. Average in the height department. He’s the only brother who’s a demon, so it makes sense to me that he’s the most normal. Not that being super tall or short is bad, but he would fit in the most (which is saying a lot). I think he’s about 5’8. Demons are probably tall since it’s harder to intimidate a human if they’re taller than you. Nobody dares to comment on this, though. If they’re not Mc, you’re probably going to die which lucky us!! we are mc
6. Mammon
Short king! Not the shortest but I feel like him being not super tall adds to his appeal as a tsundere. He’s just short and (pretending to be) angry. I think he’s 5’6 or 5’7. He gets made fun of his height by his brothers even though Asmo is shorter. I like to think he also likes shoes that make him taller, it seems very him. he’s just cute ok <33
7. Asmo
He’s not that short but he just happens to be the shortest in their family. I imagine him about 5’6 which is funny to me to think this twink is taller than my father. I’m foaming at the mouth thinking about sharing a wardrobe with him, and if you happen to been a similar height to him, then it’s like you just won the lottery. I’m dying to have a mini fashion show with him 😭 it’s kinda funny to me to think that Asmo, who I personally think is the shortest, is stronger than Beel, who’s universally agreed to be the tallest. Height isn’t everything is what I learned from this
#obey me#obey me!#obey me levi#obey me satan#obey me x reader#obey me belphie#obey me asmo#obey me beel#obey me mammon#obey me lucifer#obey me headcanons#obey me mc

Hopefully I'm not outstaying my welcome/being annoying, but I don't really feel like it's any more joyless or joyful than anything else. You're probably going to say I'm lying but I really don't feel extreme emotions like joy or sadness most of the time. I usually just feel sort of ambiguously content. Not unhappy, but not hyped. And making things doesn't make me less happy or more happy. It's just a thing I do, just like when I worked at the grocery store, restocking shelves was a thing I did. I can't really think of any specific activity that makes me really feel joy. Which sounds like some edgelord "craaaaawwwling in my skiiin, these wounds they will not heeeeeeal" stuff, but I don't mean it like that. I am a solid 5 out 10 about 95% of the time. I used to really get a lot of joy out of stuff when I was a kid, but around puberty I sort of grew out of my hyperactive, high-emotion self and into a more mellow rendition of me.
So... it's joyless, but not more than other things I do? It's not arduous or awful. Art creation is work. Work is neither great, nor the worst. It's just work.
--
Anon, sincerely, this description is full of red flags.
I know that from your own perspective you feel fine, but anyone reading this is going to armchair diagnose you with anhedonia. Lots of people calm down as adults, but this reads like something else.
Unlike a lot of the responses, no, I don't think you're lying or trolling or describing anything inaccurately. I do think you're underestimating just how different your experience is from the average. Also, art commissions are probably not the most effective in terms of money per hour. There are probably better long term prospects if all jobs are about equally pleasant or unpleasant.

BUGGIN-0UT CAS CRASH COURSE!
I have zero video editing/ recording knowledge so i had to settle for this, hopefully its still helpful.
REFERENCES
@ iamkimey, blkkstar, dravenonline
When I use references, I rarely aim to make the Sim look exactly like the actual person. Instead I tend to select my favorite parts or features from each picture. Sometimes I don't use references at all, and people's features just pop into my head. Either way, my Sims are inspired by real people 95% of the time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRESETS
I loosely picked presets that were Similar to the reference I was using. I specifically liked the shape of her features and the fullness of her face, so that's what I focused on. Btw, I never aim to make it look exactly like the reference. I learned years ago that trying to make a perfect match is impossible unless you're using a face mask and As a perfectionist, it only sets you up for disappointment.
SIZING THE FEATURES
I think we all notice how cartoonish vanilla sims are so to make my sims look more "realistic" I do not make the features any bigger than the default size and I usually size the eyes down 1-3 bits, average being around 2. For the rest of the features I try to balance it out so that they're all cohesive.
SKIN
When selecting a skin tone, I usually click around randomly or aim for something similar to the reference. In this case, I chose a tone randomly and adjusted it using the color slider.
For this Sim, I desired a fuller, more plump face, so I searched for a skin that went with that look. Now, here are my most important tips! As you can see, this skin is an "Asian skin” but I'm not aiming to make this Sim Asian, I just chose it because it lacks cheek shadows. Skin details are important to my Sim making process and I cannot stress this enough! I plan to show the difference it makes by creating two different Sims using the same base at the end.
SKIN DETAILS
When it comes to skin details, I always use the Faaeish cheek and eye details. I've been using them for years and they significantly enhance my Sim creations. I use a variety of skin detail overlays, especially those that include skintones, because they offer more texture and definition. However, many overlays don't align well with the base game skin tones and I generally prefer non-overlay skins because overlay skins often have grey undertones for black skins. For this reason, I recommend using the color slider mod.
MINI COLOR SLIDER TUTORIAL
Here's an example of how I use color sliders to match my skin details. It helps if you're already familiar with color, hue, tone, etc., but it's not difficult if you're not. The swatch here is the closest match I could get in terms of color, so I'll use saturation, opacity, and brightness to achieve a closer match.
1) If it appears too orange, adjust the brightness and/or opacity.
2) Darkening the brightness helped, but it still looks too orange.
3 & 4) I reduced the opacity to slightly less than halfway, and it worked.
TWEAKING SOME STUFF
I adjusted the nose and lips to align with the fullness of the face. Remember when I mentioned cohesiveness earlier? Well, I'm going to dive into that a bit more right now. I chose a softer nose overlay to appear less defined and more rounded because a sharply defined nose on a full face wouldn't be as harmonious (although it can still work and look beautiful for sure). I added a lip overlay for fullness for the same reason. I then tweaked the face to ensure all features were facing neutrally (straight across, not up or down turned) to maintain consistency, because what???? cohesiveness blah blah blah!
MAKEUP
Time for the fun part! I also use makeup skin details, which are superr helpful with giving my Sims distinct looks. This is how I can use the same base skin for almost all my Sims and still make them look unique. For eyeshadow, I use eyelid overlays and adjust the color using the color sliders, following the same method as before :). In the images, you can see the difference between using no makeup skin details and using them. You can also see the difference in lipstick before and after using the color slider. OH! I also included heterochromia, inspired by one of the references!
EYES
I always reduce the size of the eyes and go for ones with less shine to achieve a more "realistic" look. Since these were the only Heterochromia eyes I had, and they leaned towards the cartoonish side, I made them very small and raised them a little to appear less round and more oval-shaped. I also adjusted the brightness to darken the eyes, creating more shadow for the sclera, which I feel like enhances the realism…Then ofc I make them a lil cockeyed, cause whats a buggin-0ut sim if the eyes dont look like they tryna see each other.
SKIN BLENDING
This is a new method I've been using to add texture to my Sims. I utilize the color slider mod to blend skin overlays, non-overlays, and facemasks. For this Sim, I chose the Tems skin by ClaikSims, mainly because she fine BUT !, it was a good choice because the spacious eyelids matched up perfectly. When doing this step, I recommend not setting the opacity too low, it can make the skin see through, which makes double nipples, eyebrows, belly buttons, etc. If this does happen, I honestly just use the body and cleavage masks by Sims4Melancholic.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!
The final step! I revisit my references and see what else I can include, such as their hair, makeup style, aesthetic, and so on.
I didn't change anything except the makeup. I just wanted to show an example of how much it can change a Sim, regardless of the skin used.
….
And that's my CAS process! Nothing too crazy…i think???. I've been doing the same routine since 2018, minus the sliders ig.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I dont say much, but I do not bite, またね！
#b0:tutorials#forgot to mention i also use HELLA sliders and use them at every angle#Didnt realize i did all this until i had to break it down step by step#AND DONT ASK ME FOR SHIT ELSE!#nah im jp#i am a proud gatekeeper tho so you probably wouldn’t want to frfr

Random Ramblings
If this is somehow even more long winded than I normally am (yeah it's long), it's because I'm going through an IBS flare up that is kicking my butt.
BUT I wanted to get my thoughts out about some of my content warnings, because I'm very tired and have been shoving the same one in front of my Reece/Samir parts even if they might not reflect that particular part because I'm too tired to judge how spicy warrants a spice warning.
Where to start... If you haven't figured it out, all my grown sims are currently woohoo positive, as in they do not think that how much woohoo a sim does or does not have dictates how "good" a person is. Why? Because whoever made sex synonymous with shame is stupid and has ruined many a life (it was probably a dude, no offense dudes out there).
While I don't currently have any sims that are asexual, not all my sims feel the same about woohoo.
For example Charlie and Kaori would choose a good chat over woohoo most times. Not because they don't love each other, or are averse to woohoo, but because that's who they are together. Most days they tire themselves out as athletes and prefer to relax together
Cassandra and Rahul on the other hand love to have woohoo, particularly unprotected, three kids and still not done
Keira, who rolled the soulmate aspiration, chose to wait before she had woohoo. Her high school girlfriend (Morgan Fryes) cheated on her because she wouldn't woohoo. Even after meeting Marta (her now fiance) she wanted to wait until she felt comfortable being vulnerable around her.
Then of course we have my superstar Joey who is aromantic but allosexual (a mod did that, I didn't choose it). As soon as he became a YA he got a fwb. His philosophy is basically, oh she identifies as she? Can I hit it? I love you Joey that's why I call you a slut
Normally I just chuck up a sim spice warning if there are some screenshots taken during woohoo. Me being me, I don't feel like including pixel private parts in my published posts. Kudos to all you who do, it's just not my style. It's also rare that I'll write about anything that happens during a woohoo session, mostly I'll just write some foreplay then say it happened. That said, I do like to chuck in innuendo here and there if it feels like something my sims would say (any other writers feel like they know exactly what their sims would say at times?). I'm also not in a hurry to be classified as a mature blog, purely because that doesn't fit like 95% of my gameplay. Yes, I use wicked whims for my gameplay, but that doesn't mean I'm going to show you Luna being a lowkey pillow princess... shut up brain you can't just say that
Finally, on to my babies Reece and Samir. If there are spectrum's they are at the extreme end (also in my country the age of consent is 16 so any hijinks they get up before Reece turns 18 isn't percieved as illegal here). They both enjoy woohoo, like a lot a lot. Probably didn't help that there rotation had love day in it but they both also have high woohoo drives. They were flirty most of the time, so what would they do in that state? Sweet talk each other of course.
Now, if you weren't aware and you probably weren't cause it's been ages since their last rotation Reece and Samir also have a dynamic my other sims don't. Although on reflection Bob and Eliza have it as well, just to a lesser extent. Reece, chatterbox ego that he is, is a submissive. Samir, who barely says more than a sentence to anyone but Reece, is a dominant. When together they'll often lean into these roles, using both innuendo and statements of things their partner does that they're in to. Some people would probably label things that even use those words as mature, but it's a dynamic that exists people.
Now their chapter isn't me suddenly switching to speaking in 100% innuendo, but it has more than my average writing, at least for the first half you'll understand later if you read hence the sim spice warning. Looking back on it the chapter does not contain any screenshots mid woohoo, but the dialogue makes me want to put a disclosure above the cut, since I'm still not sure of all the rules around here, and my IBS is making it hard to focus right now.
Woohoo talk done? It's done! That's what she said... shut up brain, we're not twelve!
The other warning is about sim death. No one dies in the chapter but it deals with figuring out what happened to Samir's birth parents. Previously it's been established they were killed when he was 5 but the chapter and my Samir flashback pov short bit that I am low key proud of does involve mention of blood, death, dying etc. Me being me, I do not include any screenshots of dead, dying or seriously bleeding sims, it's not my aesthetic (don't act as though you don't love playing Until Dawn, the Quarry and The Dark Pictures Anthology which is full of gore... okay yes but gore does make me queasy for the most part, could never ever watch a saw film) and things aren't described in explicit detail. But death is death and grief is complex. It can hit you at unexpected times in unexpected ways.
So why am I bothering to put content warnings at all? Still sounds pretty tame. Yeah, probably, but as mentioned, I still don't know all the rules around here. Plus I would choose for someone to not read my story and avoid seeing something that upset them, than have someone grieving a loss see my dead sims bodies on their dash because I tagged it Sims4 every time. So if you see a content warning on my post, it most often just means viewer discretion advised. Not that you'll click and get flashed by my sims.
#upcoming#but not the next family#wow#This is longer than intended#Thanks for coming to my ted talk#but these thoughts have been in my head as I write#ramble ramble ramble#Is it time for more painkillers yet#oh nearly#Hoorah#Cramps are killing me right now#sims 4#the sims 4#the sims#Guess if this gets labelled as mature then I'll know right

⋅ ⎯ ✈︎ kim sunoo | s. you finally begin to ignore your academic rival which causes him to start acting a little differently when he sees you getting close with another guy in the school ! | p. gn!reader x rival!sunoo x student!jungwon ! | w. arguing ! | r. requested ! | g. angsty teen romance ! | wc. ~1.0k !
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⠀⠀masterlist | navigation
it’s been going on since the third grade. the back and forth bickering about who has better grades, who is the teachers favorite, and the final decision of whom will be the valedictorian at the end of your senior year.
you and sunoo are known rivals at the school, the pretty boy with good grades and you, just the one with good grades. you weren’t a loser per say but you weren’t really popular; but that didn’t matter to you when your main focus was beating sunoo.
“i got a 101, haha.” sunoo said slamming his paper in-front of you.
but it has gotten tiring, the arguing and the useless comparing of grades especially when it drained every ounce of brain matter you had. “okay sunoo, i don’t care.”
sunoo proceeded to roll his eyes and walk away sitting with his friends talking about their grades. the teacher finally finished passing around the grades tests and went back to her desk to address the class, “congrats on averaging 95 on the test guys, was the test too easy or are you guys just insanely smart?” the teacher congratulated. “because of this i’ll give you guys a free period to do whatever you need, if you want to talk to me i’ll be at my desk.”
the class nodded collectively and went back to their talking and you stayed at your desk on your phone. this was usually the time you and sunoo would be bickering but you’ve finally put a stop to it. you hear someone take the seat besides you and quickly you snap, “can you just leave me alone sunoo?”
a finger pushes your phone down, “not sunoo.” the boy says smiling.
you put your phone down and turn your head to the boy, “you’re jungwon right?”
the boy nods and smiles, “i know, you might think sunoo sent me over here but that’s not the case.”
you nod and purse your lips thinking, “then? what’s your case.”
“i just thought it would be nice to expand my friend group.” jungwon tells you jokingly. “no seriously, you look lonely here why don’t we get to know each other, i never really got to talk to you because of the rivalry but i don’t really care about that anymore.”
that’s how the two of you became friends within the matter of seconds. jungwon wasn’t competitive like sunoo, and he didn’t let grades effect him in any way shape or form. the bell soon rang and you stand up with the boy waving good bye, “y/n can i talk to you for a second?” the teacher called over as everyone left the class.
you walk to the teacher, “yes?”
“you usually get hundreds on my tests, is something going on?” she asks politely.
“is a 98 not good enough?” you question with a slight attitude. “i would study until my fingers went numb from flipping pages, i think a 98 is perfectly fine.”
“i was just wondering because you’ve gotten straight As all your life.” the teacher said smiling. “if you ever need someone to talk to we’re always here.”
“yeah, thank you but i’m fine.” you conclude leaving the class to be stopped by sunoo.
“you got a 98?” sunoo snickers.
you bite your tongue back and walk away from the boy. which quite frankly left him shocked considering you’ve never let him step all over you.
» ts
jungwon and you have definitely grown closer after a few weeks, and sunoo has grown bitter at how you’ve been ignoring his snarky remarks. you continued to get good grades but the thought of bragging and fighting for the number one spot no longer floated around in your brain.
“i brought you lunch.” jungwon says taking a seat besides you in the cafeteria unpacking his lunch putting a box in front of you.
“always so sweet.” you tell him opening the box to reveal a very appetizing meal.
sunoo soon took the sit in front of the two of you and sighed, “stealing my friends since you’re getting bad grades now?”
you scoff and roll your eyes, "you've been pestering me all week for what? because i'm friends with jungwon, because i don't feel like arguing anymore? can't you just grow up?"
"i'm going to excuse myself, i'll find you after lunch y/n." jungwon cautioned standing up with his lunch to go sit with his other friends who stared into the backs of sunoo and yours head.
"i think i'm going to go too." you say rolling your eyes ready to stand up before sunoo grabbed a hold of your wrist.
"wait."
you sigh and sit back down, "what do you want sunoo, i'm tired of this."
"why'd you stop?" he asks dropping the smug look on his face, "why'd you stop competing with me, why'd you start ignoring me, why aren't we the same."
"why does it matter, it's not like we're friends."
"i would say we were like, frenemies." sunoo jokes. "it was fun having someone to bicker with, i never hated you y/n."
"i never hated you either, but recently you've been a real dick sunoo." you fumed.
"i like you." sunoo admits quickly covering his mouth as he saw your eyes widen. "i know it's sudden, and it's weird, but i've always liked you, and seeing you get close with jungwon when it could've been me, well it made me bitter."
"me and jungwon? never happening." you laugh, "i like you too sunoo but you should learn to control your jealousy."
» ts
was it really a surprise to anyone when they noticed how much closer and friendlier the two of you have gotten? (no, it was rhetorical)
and it wasn't any more of a surprise when the two of you walked into the building laughing while holding hands. from academic rivals to enemies to friends to lovers
from third grade up until now and you've finally got this boy locked under you.

The Animorphs are planning a trip to the Yeerk pool! In Animorphs # 17, The Underground, they must dig a long tunnel in mole morph. Let's help them plan out their trip with math! Their tunnel is dug in shifts and at a downward angle. On their return trip, they must dig out a turn around point and then ascend to the surface. I will share my solutions in a week or so if anyone is interested on trying out a solution of their own.
Note: On pages 94 & 95, it turns out the Animorphs frequently encounter rocks they must go around and at about 25ft deep they luckily find a cave and can stop digging. For simplicity we will pretend they can just dig in a straight line to their destination.
a) Given their 2 hour time limit in mole morph, and assuming an average walk speed, w, what is the maximum length tunnel they can dig while being able to safely return to surface?
b) On page 93, Ax, Tobias, and Marco discuss how long it will take them to complete the tunnel. They estimate that the Yerk pool is 50 feet below ground and that for every 6 feet of tunnel, they dig 1 foot down. Assuming they can maintain this ratio, how much tunnel will they need? Hint: Sin(θ) = 1/6
c) Given the length of tunnel required to reach the Yerk pool, what is the minimum walk speed required for the Animorphs to be able to safely walk down the tunnel and come back in time to demorph?
d) Rachel is the first person to start digging. She gets off to a rocky start but for simplicity, let's assume she begins to dig the tunnel immediately and continues until it’s time to return to the surface. They decide to take one hour shifts (page 91). If Rachel digs at a rate of r feet per second and must walk back up the length of the tunnel in 1 hour, how much tunnel length can she create? Solve symbolically (don't put in numbers just yet).
e) According to various pest control companies online, moles can dig at a maximum rate of about 15 inches per hour. Using this rate, and the walk speed estimated in a), how long is the tunnel from d)? (Plug in numbers now :) )
f) Hardest (but most fun???) The Animorphs take shifts digging. They must descend to the bottom of the tunnel, dig for some time, dig a turn around point, and finally ascend back to the surface. If they must return to the surface in 1 hour, what is the length shift N can dig? Note that each shift spends less time digging due to the extra tunnel length they must traverse.
e) If nothing had gone wrong >_> and the Animorphs were able to dig in a straight line, how many dig shifts would it have taken for them to dig 50 ft deep?
I don’t expect anyone to attempt a solution but I’ve been thinking about this all week. This is the only way I can put my mind at ease.

i have mixed feelings abt "abolishing" gendered categories in sports. i understand people want to use a measurement that is more objective (ie weight or muscle mass) but even then if u did separate sports by muscle mass or something you would still end up with leagues that were like, 95% men and 95% woman. it's frustrating to acknowledge and something i struggled with as a cis woman who grew up wanting to be tougher and stronger and more physically capable than cis men but at the end of the day there is absolutely a ridiculous difference in physical capabilities that isn't just like. made up. as a kid i was always one of the strongest and fastest kids in my class just because i had the desire to prove to everyone that girls were better. but at the end of the day when we all went through puberty i had a really tough lesson to learn. i have a very distinct formative memory of the first time I wasn't able to beat my brother in arm wrestling, despite being more athletic than him, heavier than him, and the same age (we r twins). for me it was an embarrassing and humiliating moment but i kind of needed to see it because i was going around thinking that there was nothing stopping me from being as strong as cis guys.
at rhe end of the day if we abolish women's sports i think we will see a drastic decrease in participation from women and tbh competitive trans people. I think it is ridiculous to bar trans women or women with naturally higher testosterone levels from competing with other women, and i want to see more trans women in women's sports; same goes for trans men in men's sports. I still think though that it is ridiculous to suggest that there's no quantifiable difference between the physical capabilities of women and men of the same size. because by all conceivable measurements that just..isnt true.
I also do think for some sports it is stupid for there to be q split between the sexes but for shit like wrestling/contact sports or football or weight lifting or running etc it's just not a reasonable thing to expect women to be able to compete at the same caliber as men (on average)
tldr. i think sports as they are are transphobic as fuck and we need to start letting trans people compete the way they want, but that doesnt mean we should be abolishing women's sports leagues or completely getting rid of gender divides bc ultimately i feel that women will either end up not participating as much, will be injured more often esp in contact sports, or with other more objective measurements we will practically end up with a gender divide anyway. and part of that wont just be from division based on physcial abilities, i think part of it will be misogyny pushing women out of sports when they dont have their own space to compete together
anyway im not like a sport expert or anything these r just my thoughts based on being a child athlete that had my heart broken by the cruel realities of puberty. im happy to be proven wrong bc i hate that i personally could not compete against most cis dudes even if i trained very hard. its super dysphoric for me LMAO
btw transphobes and t.rfs and bioessentialists stay off my post
#gab gabs#turninf reblogs off bc i dont want this thought to be spread around tumblr#i jst woke up and saw a post so

Stellar Spirit Research paper
Index of Terms:
Amygdala: part of the brain associated with experiencing different emotions
Frontal Cortex: part of the brain associated with decision-making, in unicorns also closely associated with magic.
Cerebellum: part of the brain associated with motor movement and determining the position of limbs in space.
The thaumometer:
The thaumometer measures magical flow in the area around it. Almost anywhere in Equestria has some natural magic flow, making it critical to get control readings before measuring the power of a particular spell or creature. Base measurements of the testing area show a passive magic flow of 0.3 thaums.
(for those unfamiliar with the unit of measurement, 1 thaum is about as much magic flow as it takes to lift an average weight pony off the ground. Princess Celestia’s upper limit has been measured at approximately 15 Thaums. The effects of Grogar’s bell have been measured at over 30 thaums in the right conditions.)
Squee: indicates emotional energy, which can have an effect on Thaumic rate. 1 squee is approximately equivalent to seeing something so adorable that a high-pitched sound escapes your vocal chords.
Test #1: “control”
Subject was subjected to scans with brain mapping equipment and thaumometer and asked to lift a 10-pound weight.
Results appear normal. Activity is a little higher than average, which may be explained by the subject being intellectually stimulated by the tests. Emotional energy measured at .95 squee.
Maximum magic flow measured at 1.2 thaums.
Subject’s notes: "Well, this is just the normal me! Nothing special, really. I can still do some cool stuff, but it's nothing that incredible or complex, I'd say. This is how you'll see me the vast majority of the time."
Test #2: “Cosmic form”
Subject asked to take on “cosmic” form and cast the same spell.
Brain activity increased in the amygdala, reduced in the frontal cortex. Emotional energy measured at 4.5 squee.
Magic flow measured at 5.5 thaums
Subject’s notes: "The Cosmic State is what I call my Overdrive, and it boosts my magic power by quite a bit. In that State, I can feel my magic rushing through me, giving me power and making me feel... well, alive! It's kinda like a shot of adrenaline in that sense. I also feel more confident when I'm Cosmic, though that's probably just due to having more power."
Researcher's Notes: cosmic form is indeed similar to what many ponies experience during an adrenaline rush: increased activities in the primal, subconscious parts of the brain and energy being diverted from less critical functions like abstract reasoning. The massive increase in thaumic flow can almost entirely be attributed to emotional multiplication.
Test #3: “Abyssal form”
Subject was asked to meditate on the “abyssal” state of mind while being monitored by brain mapping equipment and a thaumometer. Please note that the subject reports this state has been inaccessible to her since she “gifted” it to another, so this test is primarily focused on the state of mind associated with the form.
Initial findings show greatly reduced brain activity in the amygdala. Emotional energy measured at .01 squee.
Magic flow measured at 0.2 thaums. Do we need to retake the control readings? This is 0.1 thaum lower than base levels…
Subject’s Notes: "The Abyssal State... My darkest State, outside of actual dark or corrupted forms. I always felt... empty whenever I used it. Sometimes, all I could feel is rage... Towards the end of the State's existence, I like to think I had more control over it, but I'm not entirely sure that's true. It kinda hurts to use, as if it's altering my body, perhaps my very being, every time I use it. It's not safe... but it did give me incredible power. It was my strongest State until I unlocked the Origin State, strong enough to break things otherwise thought to be unbreakable, even with my bare hooves. I could briefly step into the void as a dodge of sorts. Honestly, there's probably more stuff I could do, like sending things into the void, or neutralizing energy, but I was hesitant to experiment with it..."
Note to self: several nodes in the Brain scanner lost connectivity intermittently during the test. Recalibrate before proceeding further.
Test #4: “Entropic form”
Subject was asked to induce “entropic” state and cast the same spell.
Brain scans show a picture of a pineapple. Emotional energy measured at “Mind your own business” squee
Thaumometer shows erratic behavior, no reading recorded.
Subject Notes: "Ah yes, the Entropic State. This is a weird one, and not just because it's chaos magic. I got it because I was depressed! ... Okay, that's not quite accurate. What I mean is I asked Discord to give me some of his power because of... stuff I don't really want to say. But instead of what I expected, it manifested as a State, and I could finally control it! And I thought those tests were for nothing... Anyway, it's a weird feeling, being Entropic. I can see and feel things I couldn't before, use crazy magics that I never had access to before I acquired this power. It's also a little hard to focus on one thing sometimes... It does put me in a good mood, though. I think I have the potential to do everything Discord can, though maybe to a lesser scale. I just don't have a full understanding of it yet, so it's a bit hard to keep it under control sometimes."Researcher’s notes: I did not know my brain scanner could show me a pineapple, let alone make it dance off the screen. I think it’s safe to say none of the readings taken here can be trusted, scientifically. However, I’m convinced chaos magic still follows many rules of magic, despite the difficulty of getting accurate readings.
Test #5: “Copycat form”
Subject asked to copy the abilities of our volunteer Gad Hippogriffin using “copycat” state.
Brain scans show greatly increased activity in the frontal cortex. Additional scans reveal near identical activity in the cerebellum of the subject and that of our volunteer. Emotional energy measured at 1.5 squee.
Magic flow measured at 0.4 thaums at time of scan
Subject Notes: "Hehe, Copycat's a fun one. I've heard Sol say I act like a generic anime protagonist in this state, confident and willing to push myself to the extreme. I don't have any more power than normal in this state though, not by default. The power I get is from learning the techniques and abilities of others by watching them. I can adapt them for my own use, then use them against whoever I'm fighting! Sadly, I only retain those abilities for as long as I'm a Copycat. If I lose focus, and thus lose that State, I forget those abilities."
Researcher’s Notes: My theory at this time is that the copycat ability allows Stella’s brain to construct a rudimentary consciousness capable of channeling the target’s magic on the self-image level. Magic on this level doesn’t register on the thaumometer.
Test #6: “Origin form”
Subject instructed to enter “origin” state and cast the same spell.
Passive Magic flow briefly measured at 7.3 Thaums shortly before overload.
Subject notes: "Geez... The Origin State is a little... insane. It gives me power that I haven't felt in so long... It's exhilarating! Okay, so, I've had a long, complicated history. Using game terms, I've been buffed and nerfed many times. Mostly nerfed. But becoming the Origin lets me overcome that, and reclaim the power I once had. It's like... the origin of my true power. I get super serious in the Origin State, but also want to display this power, so I tend to be a bit flashy, I guess. It all feels natural to me, as if I've always had this power, and yet in my own tests, it doesn't exist until I enter the state. It's weird..."
Note to self: it may be time to stop relying on homemade equipment. Also, look into these “video games” Stella keeps referencing.
Final notes and Conclusions: It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Stellar Spirit in these tests. She has been both cooperative and insightful. Each of these states operate under incredibly unique rules and would probably take a lifetime of research to understand completely, so for the purposes of this paper I’m afraid I must woefully under-represent each of them. Another research paper may be forthcoming with more focused parameters.

PSA
I'm going to be approaching 2k soon and at first I was quite dreading it with everything that has been happening. All the anon hate, the pressured feeling, etc. I've put measures in such as closing requests and recently turning off anon but I think it's time I start handling this a bit more seriously.
The nature of this blog was always a fun little space for me to share my writing and have a community to engage in shenanigans. Long standing followers on this blog know that I have spread nothing but positivity and love. I have wanted nothing more than for people to enjoy my writing and find comfort in it. Yet recently this blog feels as though it is not even a writing blog anymore because I have been demotivated by this entire situation.
And I am sick of it.
I am well aware that not everyone has to enjoy my writing but it gives no one the right to come onto my blog and insult me and my hard work. I have been writing for 11 years. I am an English Literature and Linguistics major of a 95% average and have been awarded multiple times on that account. I have sacrificed so much to continue writing. I was once a Science major progressing towards becoming a forensic scientist before I gave it up for my passion: writing. I know my worth. I know my writing quality. This is not me being vain, this is me putting my foot down.
While requests are still closed I retract my statement of turning off anon. It will remain on as it always has. I am not going to let a few of you ruin the overall aspect on which this blog was built on: being accessible to everyone, being a positive environment, being an escape for people.
What is going to change is my response to this sort of thing. Send hate? You're getting blocked, right after that I'll swoop on by to that wonderful section of "blocked tumblrs" and report you too. Fuck around and find out, I'm done being "considerate" just because you have an "opinion." I'm going back to writing too. Tons of it. I'm not letting these things beat me down any further.
I am done.
And I am taking back what has always been mine — the joy of writing.

hello, I hope you're well. I live for hetalia and was rec'd to ask about your pirate au! I would love to hear about it if you'd like to tell :)
my first day on tumblr in what feels like a week and i come back to a question that makes me want to ramble like a madman for DAYS. you are so sweet for sending this to me (and im sorry if this ends up being an essay you were not asking for). fun fact: i have had to rewrite my answer to this ask no less than 3 times bc every time i started talking, id go on a tangent about pirates that was in no way relevant to your ask. apologies for taking so long, but yes! here we go! im putting it under a read more bc i cannot for the life of me shut the fuck up.
i do have a pirate au!! maybe one day it will eventually end up seeing the light of day, but as of right now it is sitting in my google docs next to a 95-page doc of all the sources and fun facts and tidbits that i find interesting about pirates. pirates are kinda my thing, idk if thats obvious or not. insert marge simpson i just think theyre neat meme here.
essentially, its pirate!antonio and venetian-not-quite-nobleman!lovino. im still playing around with that venetian part, but idk ill probably keep it, since it makes sense with lovino's family and all that. the entire premise of the story (and what sparked the idea in the first place, apart from me just thinking antonio would look sexy in a pirate captain fit) is that one scene in the strips where romano is reading a history book about how spain spent a ton of money on him when he himself was in rags. we all know spain canonically showered romano in wealth and money, even when he himself was wearing tatters. that idea sat with me for YEARS before i decided to do my own spin on it, culminating in the characters of pirate captain antonio with a grudge against the world and too much to prove seeing bastard lovino who lives in a family of nobles and cannot have any of it, even if he is loved and adored by his family, and who just doesn't????? understand him????? doesnt get why he chose to stay with that family for so long????? without leaving that world behind and being free and cutting himself loose????? he doesnt get the familial attachments and the sense of responsibility lovino has to his family, even if he cannot and will not inherit the title that comes with the vargas name.
antonio ends up raiding their merchant ship they were sailing on and kidnapping him for money or something idk im still playing around with that part, and lovino is just this absolute mystery to him, but ofc this is antonio who is bullheaded in his stubbornness, which i find to be enchanting and cute, and thus we slowly get into the love story of two people who were fucked over tremendously by their societies and their worlds and who just wanted and tbh deserved more, something different, a freedom they would never be able to have in their average life.
smash-cut to however long later and the entire basis of the story is lovino 'i am surrounded by status and wealth and prestige and will have none of it to my name' vargas being adored and cherished by antonio 'love me and i will give you the world, love me and i will give you everything' fernández carriedo. bc!! i!!! think!!! thats!!! neat!!!!
anyway yeah thats kinda where the idea for it came from. i have a few spamano stories written, but i am shamefully lacking any historical hetalia, which is terrible considering history is my entire degree, but im getting there. i hope this in some way answered your ask!!! youre welcome to also hit up my asks or dms if you ever wanna just chat hetalia or anything else, since i too live for this wretched fandom, and have since i was like. idk 12. thank you so much for sending this! i love having an excuse to word vomit about my hyperfixations, and this story has been bouncing in my brain for a frankly disgusting amount of time, and i have only recently decided to put it to paper and make something out of it!
#you are so sweet for this thank you so much#also id love to know who rec'd my au bc i need to kiss them like what a compliment#sorry again for how long this took to answer! ive been away so my tumblr time has been sorely limited#i do hope this answer was worth the wait ghjkjh#appleblondie0397#asks

Taking Care of Yourself is Part of Writing.
My Whole Writing Process looks something like this:
I was talking to a writer friend the other night who was asking me how was I was able to make myself write and enjoy it and look forward to it enough to make the ideas grow and to put them down on the page.
I think I threw him for a loop when I said I do it by giving myself permission not to write. I do have a schedule where I block out time in a week to try write... but that time block isn't always putting words on the page. some of those hours are research, outlining, workshopping, or editing... but a lot of the time I use those hours to relax. I read a fic. I take an obnoxiously long bath. I eat a pie I baked, or better, one I didnt have to bake. I play a video game or watch a show or something else that recharges my batteries. In an average week, I have about 12 hours tentatively blocked off for "Writing" but theres some weeks where none of those hours put words on the page.
We writers like to pass around that self-depricating joke with the pie chart about how we spend 5% of our time writing and 95% of the time doing absolutely anything else: editing (10%), sleeping (15%), tumblr shit posting (20%), research rabbit hole (30%), Crying (25%) You all know the joke I'm talking about. I think what gets lost is... you don't need to write more than 5% of the time. The pie chart really isn't a pie chart. It's an iceberg: The whole process is important. The 5% where you're making the words is just the most visible part.
I hit walls some times where I forget I'm allowed not to write. The guilt feedback loop is vicious. It goes like: "I should be writing > but I'm not writing > I don't feel like it > how can I call myself a writer and not write > I'm a bad writer," and turns into "I don't deserve to write > I'm not worthy of my own art > looking at my draft has become bad for my mental health > I physically can't write". And then the whole cycle feeds on itself again. This is worse once you've had a project the stars aligned for that went really really well and became your measuring stick for how well other projects should go. If you hit a rut, well the instinct is that it's your fault as the writer. "Shame shame for not writing..."
It's okay not to write. It's okay if only 1% of your iceberg is writing and the other 99% is taking care of yourself. If your writing stalled because of a physical tool: lack of wifi or a broken computer or an exploded pen or rain-soaked notebook, you would attribute the delay to the tool and repair the tool. And yet, when the essential tool that needs routine maintenance is your body / brain, writers fail to attribute the cause to that - if you need to maintain your computer because it is slow, you wouldn't call yourself a bad writer... so why are you a bad writer if the tool you need to maintain is yourself?
You can still be a writer and not have shared a single piece of writing. You can be a writer even when you're not writing. It's not your fault if you got writers block and/or your brain or body need some essential maintenance. If it is the only unreserved time in your week, use your writing time to give yourself those things you need to feel healthy and good! Just because it doesn't look like words on a page doesnt mean it isn't part of writing!

336) Fuckin' Sick.
Another sleepless night
I stay awake
Wait for you by the lake
Belly of Brandy
Once a week
Make me creep
Will you touch my hand?
Poke at my chest?
Leave me shirtless?
Soaked by sprinklers?
Fuck you
Fuck me
Give me everything
Take my sleep
I'll get by with blisters on my feet
I walk barefoot to my car
Step on pebbles
Every step is worth it
No matter how much it hurts
I'll tip toe across asphalt
-
You call me when you're ready
You laugh when I haven't even done anything
I sprint into view and stand beneath the lamppost
I pose
Laughter
Your laughter is sunlight
It's the greatest feeling in the world
To be by your side
You show me your new tattoo
While you tie your shoe on the fire hydrant
You tie your hair up
I stare are you do it, mesmerized
I tuck my laces into my shoes
I whisper to the schizophrenic spiders
I pick up from a bush
You yell at me because you can't hear what I'm saying
Is she on to us?
We almost got her
Quiet down guys she's going to hear you
She's pretty amazing, right?
You tell me I can't talk to them anymore
We try to web you up
Hit your nose ring
We're aiming for your neck like a garrote
We take a walk down to a nearby high school
When I whisper you tell me to yell
So I start yelling the lies I was whispering
You chide me
Don't yell them if they're lies
I have so much fun with you
Making you laugh is wonderful
Until your head is in your hands with giggles
A small bird lands nearby
I say he's just a friendly lil guy
You say he's probably going to die
He isn't flying away
You say the bird and I are the same
Just- not the death part
When I'm 95, we agree to die together
Triple digits only 5 years away?
We can make it.
Let's live for 75 more years together.
I'll love you all the same.
I promise it.
You threaten to push me in the canal
I stand next to the edge daring
You don't
You threaten to push me over in the grass
You couldn't
Obviously, I'm too strong
Impossibly strong, even
You shoulder check me and I fake a tumble
You admonish me laying in the dirt
You brush the leaf off my back
You threaten to walk home
I call the bluff
You turn back
Grab my arm
Unhand me!
But touch me please, grab onto me!
It's all I have ever wanted
You say I'm small
I'M AVERAGE
Just like that frog
Or the bird
Or the tattoo
Or the alligator
Just an average
Good size
A regular size
You are adamant that it's puny
I agree
Don't say 'yeah' like that
We walk back and
hold hands
I am brimming with joy
Someone kill me now
I'll die the happiest man alive
Then we hold pinkies
You point out when I bring you close
I really wasn't meaning to!
But you say it's cool so..
sick
I'm doing it on purpose now, for sure
You say you're about to pass out
I offer to carry you
We rest at the gableblo
I pretend to be an alpha male
WHICH I AM
Of course
I'm tough, I'm cool
I don't s-stammer my words
I know how to pick up chicks
I get mad amounts of babes
Laid on the daily
I have huge muscles
I'm NOT insecure
I strike a pose
Sometimes, you try to copy them
So, you on the menu?
Let's start over.
Want to have sex?
One more time.
I want you inside me
Wait-
Oh, that one's okay?
Laughter
Your joy is contagious
We look at constellations
I finish endlessly trailing thoughts
Accidentally cut you off
You never finish the thought
Tell me what you were saying! I'm sorry!
I was just thinking out loud!
I get real close to your face
Brim of my hat on your head
We stare at each other wordlessly
Try to fit each other into the light
I squash my imaginary spiders
So that you won't walk home just yet
You get closer as I lean against the railing
Even closer as we look at the stars
You say you'd fight me and as I ready up
Spread my arms out wide
You-
Unexpectedly lean in
Oh, God,
Let me live here forever
I wrap my arms around you
Rub your shoulder and back
With the cruel right-hand
I don't think about it
You rub my forearm
My bicep
My elbow
Is this okay?
You say it is
fuckin' cool,
sick.
Someone kill me now, again!
I'll die the happiest man alive
You're rocking your hip into my thigh
I can't tell if it's on purpose or not
You shift and stop
Bend your back slightly
I must admit, I did look a little
I hold you tight
My hand presses against your stomach
You comment how warm it is
How large they are
I ask if it's okay
You say it is
Again I respond
oh, fuckin',
sick
Let me live here forever, like it's the last time
You're going to walk home again
I'm going to walk away again
What a lovely and awful feeling
Always too short
As we leave you
Thank me for loving you
I say 'Yeah, I love you so much'
And
YOU
SAY
IT
BACK
I am brighter than every star
I am as infinite as the universe
I am-
Soaking Wet.
As the sprinklers turn in our direction
You get behind me, trying to pull me away
But only end up using me as a shield
Right after you said that!
You brat!
I get blasted with water
I only want to hug you more
What a beautiful moment
Let it define me, forever
I'll keep you safe from the water
We walk back and hold hands again
I bring you close
You pinch me
That'll be your new thing, you say
We hug twice
I just don't want to let you go
I sigh out my wow's on the walk back
I touch my own skin like it's ethereal
Imagine you touching my face
My heart flutters, I just want to hold you again
What a beautiful world
To exist with you in it
The backlash creeps in quickly
So, I start begging God
Say a prayer to divinity I don't believe in
Isn't he supposed to be love?
Then why can't I have this always?
Say my vows?
Or is he plague and famine?
Or maybe I'm just some
Dumb ape
You call me on the drive back
I read to you when I get home
listen to you rustle as you fall asleep
Make small noises, small movements
I rest my eyes while I listen
Keep alarms blaring in my ears so I stay awake
When you hang up suddenly, I get up
Late for work
Too busy listening to you
Pretending I am there.
#writing#poem#poetry#spilled ink#twcpoetry#poeticstories#so fucking wordy but I still feel like I want more packed in TIGHT packed in there fuckin TIGHT really put all the words i can in there#really seriously just gonna fill it with so many words until i can't use any more on you really just packin it in. classic wordy ass poem#you are so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#so wordy just shut up!

Hi I'm the one who sent the Levi ass confession, and I got curious and have nothing else to do so
Here's my semi-serious headcannons on the asses of the DRDT guys (I have absolutely lost my mind and I do not care)
-
CharlesHe has pretty nice hips in the CG where his lab coat is off, so I’d say that translates pretty well into his ass. It’s not the biggest in terms of size but it is definitely up there, being pretty round and curvy, and it has quite a bit of bounce when he walks (which Whit will not stop commenting on jokingly and it makes him very flustered). His rear is unfortunately covered 95% of the time by his lab coat, so in the times it is off you must savor every glance you can get
(Extra headcanon: It looks amazing in suit pants and slacks)
AceAce is an interesting case because he could definitely have a much fatter ass if his body had more fat to actually work with, but it doesn’t. That being said, he definitely has something when it comes to an ass as he does canonically exercise, so his butt is very toned and firm all things considered. It’s not that big for the reasons I said prior, but it’s definitely there. Word of advice however, don’t slap it. As that will not only shatter your bones but probably his as well
LeviI’ve already talked about Levi but I will say it again, this man has more cake than a bakery on top of a bakery. He by far has the biggest ass of the male cast due to how fit he is, and how he is able to squeeze it in a pair of pants every day is beyond me. His ass is mostly muscle and is quite toned, but unlike Ace he also has fat to work with which gives it an extra balance of squish and bounciness. I’d imagine he didn’t really pay attention to the size of his ass until he caught certain people staring at it, and he usually leaves it at that. However, if you are particularly close to him (most likely a partner), he will allow you to touch it…and god. Touching Levi’s rear can be best described as an orgasm in your hand.
Arturo
And immediately going from the biggest ass to the smallest ass, Arturo has very little in the rear department. All things considered, it’s pretty flat and bony and he definitely wishes it was as round as the beautiful celebrities he idolizes. To his credit however, it is also very smooth and feels quite good to touch, the problem is more so getting close to him enough to the point where he’d allow you to. Like Ace however, don’t slap it. Not cause your bones will break but because there is nothing for them to break on
David
David’s ass, in all retrospects, is pretty middle of the road. It’s not flat by any means, but it’s not exactly big either. It’s a very average ass for someone his body type, but the pants he wears make it look a lot nicer, and it’s not like he has nothing back there, so it’s nice to catch a look at it every now and again
Xander
I’d say Xander probably has the second best ass all around just being beaten out by Levi. The best word to describe Xander’s butt is…juicy. It’s round like an apple and very plump, and like Levi’s it’s the perfect mix between being toned and being squishy. But his body is a bit more fat then actual muscle so his rear leans more towards being squishy and it’s quite jiggly in turn. He wishes he had a more firm ass but no matter how many squats he does, he can’t get rid of the squishiness. His ass makes a pretty satisfying sound when it’s slapped too, like a clap.
(Extra headcanon: I have a hc that Xander often goes commando, so when he does there’s even less blocking the bounce that comes from his cheeks. God bless whoever is walking behind him)
Whit
I’m ignoring that CG in Chapter 1 where Whit has his back turned, thank you
With that out of the way, with how skinny Whit is you’d think he wouldn’t have that much ass to speak of, but you would be quite mistaken as Whit is pretty lucky when it comes to the genetic lottery. Whit has the definition of a bubble butt with it being very round and perky, and due to him having very little muscle it is almost entirely soft and squishy, and super jiggly. His ass would make a perfect pillow, and if you were close to him and asked politely, he would allow you to lay your head on his cheeks. Whit is 100% aware of what he’s got and shows it off whenever he can by either wiggling it or talking about it, not out of a desire to gloat (okay, maybe a little.) but because he thinks it’s funny and thinks others will find it funny too. However a few of the people he has tried to make laugh because of his butt end up a little more than amused if you catch my drift
Hot damn, Ass ratings of the guys? This was a good read. Now let's get tits or ass ratings of all the girls too and a rating on Nico, they deserve the appreciation!
Definitely love the description of David and Xander here. Full agree.

A penny weighs 2.5 grams, so it's worth 0.4 cents per gram
A nickel weighs 5 grams, worth 1 cent per gram
A dime weighs 2.268 grams, 4.409171076 cents per gram
A quarter weighs 5.67 grams, which is also 4.409171076 cents per gram because quarters and dimes used to be worth their weight in silver, so a quarter is exactly 2.5 times as heavy as a dime to this day.
Averaging these four values, you get 2.554585538 cents per gram, or $25.55 per kilogram ($11.59 per pound).
If instead we averaged the values of the four coins together (one penny, one nickel, one dime, one quarter), we get 41 cents weighing 15.438 grams, which works out to 2.655784428 cents per gram, $26.56 per kilogram ($12.05 per pound)
Not all coins are equally common. If you sum up every possible combination of coins to make exact change from 1 cent to 99 cents, you get 470 coins
200 pennies, 500 grams
40 nickels, 200 grams
80 dimes, 181.44 grams
150 quarters, 850.5 grams
for a total value of $49.50 weighing 1731.94 grams, which works out to 2.858066677 cents per gram, $28.58 per kilogram ($12.96 per pound).
200/470 = 42.55% of all coins should be pennies
40/470= 8.51% of all coins should be nickels
80/470 = 17.02% of all coins should be dimes
150/470 = 31.91% of all coins should be quarters
I've been keeping all my spare change in a jar for a couple of years, and I counted it all today
512 pennies
63 nickels
95 dimes
220 quarters
That's a total of 890 coins worth $72.77 weighing 3057.86 grams, which works out to an actual emperical value of $23.80 per kilogram ($10.79 per pound)
512/890 = 57.53% of all coins are pennies (more than expected)
63/890 = 7.08% of all coins are nickels (less than expected)
95/890 - 10.87% of all coins are dimes (less than expected)
220/890 = 24.72% of all coins are quarters (less than expected)
I think the discrepancy is because you're more likely to spend what few quarters and dimes you have in your spare change than pennies and nickels. Say your purchase comes out to $4.17 and you have a $5 bill; if you have loose change in your pocket you'll probably root around until you find a quarter so you'll pay $5.25 and get $1.08 back instead of breaking the dollar and getting 83 cents.
