I’ve never met a Virgo man before hehe but is the stereotype true that they’re all perfectionists??

there are always other factors that come into play so I don't like to blanket statement, but typically yes!!

headcannons about chip, christianity in mana, his internalised homophobia and its relationship with his repressed fire powers :

// tw for religious trauma, christianity, manipulation, trauma and death mentions

in mana, christianity is the religion of the outcasts, most people worship aster and/or lunadeis, but pirates, criminals and the lower class in general adds another “god” to the pantheon : jesus, as he was portrayed in the bible, a human with divine links to a god unknown who took care of the unfortunate, poor and marginalized. his tales are mostly relayed through oral tradition, so depending on where you are, his teachings and worships changes a lot. in most cases, jesus and his unknown god is just an addition to the already existing pantheon of gods and leviathans of mana, and not the only true god. some people with bad intentions sometimes twists his teachings to fit their worldview and influence others, but they pretty much never have enough systemic power to change much outside of their inner circles.

when chip was a kid living on the streets, he was way too worried about his survival to think about love, and all the other kids (of all genders) that hed find cute were always much more higher class than him anyways. his powers were pretty weak, tho still wildly uncontrolled. it just felt like the small flames that kept appearing around him liked him and wanted to help him rather than him having any control over them. he sometimes heard whispers of jesus and his teachings, but didnt really understand what it was and didnt really care.

when the black rose took him on, most people on the crew were christians, tho in a old sailor way. tales of jesus mixed with those of ancient sea beasts would flourish on the deck of the black rose, and the lessons he learned from them were about hope, about universal love, about helping those in needs. about getting your hands dirty through work and knowing youd get to heaven, while those high class corrupt rulers, bourgeois and officers would rot in hell for what theyd done to your world. chips fire magic, while still uncontrolled, grew and took on a life of his own, tho itd usually cower away in times of distress, much to chips dismay. for his bisexuality, chip was much more concerned about his life on the ship, and didnt care for love during that time.

when the hole in the sea happened, chip was too stressed out and his powers did nothing. thats when he decided that he needed to harness them, to train himself to actually control them so that maybe he could help of something like this happened again.

so when price found chip, he was prime for being manipulated into the mafia. he was lonely, lost everything he add, needed guidance, needed someone to train him and.. also had a crush on price. for the first time, he felt obsession, something that again, he couldnt control, that he needed to harness, to tame. the mafias christianity was much more strict than the black roses, and tried more to extrapolate the values of jesus’s unknown god than to follow him as an example. since romance was nothing but a distraction/weakness, the crew was mostly male-dominated and that femininity was seen as weak and, homosexuality as feminine, love, especially male homosexuality, was very frowned upon, and considered as a sin. emotional volatility, and thus, the uncontrollability of chips power are too. price did return chip’s advances sometimes, but only for the purposes of manipulating him into being even more loyal to the gang. there, price trained him to shackle both his fire powers and his desires, to keep the good parts ( power / social status that male heterosexuality gives ), but to annihilate the bad parts ( wildness / vulnerability of emotional connections and social nonconformity / bisexuality ). the fact that he is a bastard also plays into this, since he now is conditioned to believe that the fact that hes alive in itself is sinful ; thus, he needs to be perfect to repay for his original sin. when everything breaks, that price asks him to kill a man and that he flees, is whole world is shaken apart and his trauma of losing everything once before resurfaces. his emotions and powers were taken advantage of, and his trauma response is to simply lock away both the good and the bad inside of himself, after feeling their full intensity one last time ( the heartbreak of seeing prices manipulation, loving him anyways and being deeply afraid of that / letting the wildness of his fire engulf the mafia headquarters ). even most of his memories of it are locked away.

with the crew of the albatross, he slowly unlearns the values burned into him by price and his crew. he sees people who are like him, who love him, tho it takes a very long time to internalize that they aren’t just with him for his usefulness, that his sin is just as inconsequential as theirs. he tries his hands as doing as he did before, flirting with women (that hes genuinely attracted to) for social status, but his fear leaves him stunted and awkward. same with his powers, when he finally learns again to use them, is it very controlled, and thus weaker. he doesnt trust himself with the “bad” parts of his identity, hes barely able to control the “good” ones. when gillion kisses him, he, for a moment, lets himself go, lets his obsession breathe and exist, but as soon as the moment is over, he put his guard up tenfold. it takes a LOT of time to him to figure out how he feels for gillion, but once he does, he feels like atlas, holding of his shoulder the gravity of his sin. he does not tell anyone for months, view his feelings and himself as dirty, as something that should be kept hidden, especially since gillion is someone of much higher class and with a much greater destiny than him. he rushes into broom closets to have panic attacks after particularly intimate combat training, writes letters and poems that he keeps under a floorboard. he fully knows that jay is also bisexual, but in his head, its different if two women are together, since thats not ever something that was talked about at all with prices gang ( there were barely any women ). he also fully knows that gillion is asexual, and in his head, that proves gillions inherent superiority, since he is less vulnerable to being led astray by his desires. also, chip is much too caught up in his own shit to care what other people do.

anyways, heres a quote that fits pretty well

Sorry that the skaianet stuff is bothering you. I *think* its getting worked on? I have no idea how to interpret anything Strider posts that isn't directly just snuff and or porn ever tbh. Its a money thing, that's all I know.

Sorry if it wasn't aimed at me, but to answer the question in the tags of the last ask of mine you answered, I think its perfectly fine for there to be things other then puppets on the site. The markets always gotta expand right? I don't think I've personally seen the stuff you're talking about tho and I'd like to look into it could you give me some examples?

-S

dum dum dee dum dum dee dum. (singing)

i get a lot of messages in my face that i don't know how to answer and this is one of them. i dont think i even know what this is about? it is confusing to me too. but its okay. so long as you are having fun and reaching out to your friends, you can always add tags to help people find your post. close for everyone post now. sometimes i read what i write and i write what i read. i am always learning :) but i dont know a lot yet

shit motherfucker! what about the econony! the markets always gotta expand, right? i don't think i've personally seen the stuff you're talking about though. thank you for asking. i think having sex with puppets is probably the answer it tends to be a lot of the time!

hmmm

it feels a lot like my thoughts go in a lot of different directions. i don't always know where, but sometimes i feel like it is a roadblock or a thing that i can get through. or around? i don't actually know.

thank you froreaching out today. you should dhsare the hottest latest videos with all of your friends. year of the rabbit. i mean dawn of the rabbit. sometimes i have to look stuff up :(

yknow for a computer youd assume this thing would compute more! compute == compact and cute. by the way. for your information. it isn't actually meaning anything else. i am sooooooooooo :D

what if this post gets deleted O_O i dont know...

i feel like it is a lot of different secrets. but only maybe one left? here at least. actually ignore all of that. Actually, ignore this whole fuckin' post. If I don't delete it in the morning, remind me.

YOOOO! Those tfp arcee hc's were so good like wtf?!?! Thank you!!! But what about sfw hc's of tfp Airachnid with her fem human s/o tho???? She needs some love too <3 (and maybe a part 2 of 'cee if you feel like it)

If you can't i understand!! Thank you and have a good day/night!!!

Hello, Im glad you liked the Arcee hc's. IN return here are your Tfp Airachnid x Female Human S/o hc's. Once again come back for some more if youd like! Enjoy :)

Airachnid is the type of con to act like she doesn't like you or know who you are when someone asks about you. She keeps a poker face and maybe says something about no being intrestest in such human affairs. She thinks she's doing good in hiding the fact that she does in face have an S/O or likes you, but in fact every con knows.

Since she's a spider and has gone through so muchh, I feel like she'd try to keep you hiding away in fear of someone else taking you, She constantly live in this fear and uneassiness that some bot or con will find you and use you against her, and I fear for the bot or con that does that.

If she's gone for long or expects to be gone for long she tells you in advance, gives you the same pep talk everytime. Don't leave the where she's put you, Don't tell anyone you know her, Ignore any con that comes looking for her, Saty with the insectacon she puts with you, she loves you, she'll be back beofre you know it, and give you soft goodbye kiss.

If a day comes where you HAVE to met the other cons, She'll do it, but not with out trying to completely avoid doing it. She'll bring up other topics to Megatron or anyone else. Talkign about something that she know will get them to forget about you, "Oh, isn't Starscream out planning to go directly against orders and claim rule to Cybertron over you?" Or, "What happened to those kids you where watching Prime? Ashamded if something happened to them." If it works it'll work, she DOSE NOT and I mean DOES NOT want you to be foreced or put in a situation where you have to met others like her, she knows how they can be, scary, rude, unhinged, and god don't let it be a Autobot that mets you, that same fear of you being taken away what keeps you moitvated to keep you away from the war.

Now enough of that, Lets talk for when she returns after a long time. When she sees you after returning, she'll sweep you up off you feet in a death grip hug, If she was walking like normal she's use her spider leg arm thingys to lift you both up off the ground, and give you both a little twirl :') She missed you, missed you laugh, your smile, your silly like body, and the way you made her light up.

She's not one to cuddle, but if you asked her nicely, and maybe gave her a kiss, I feel like she'd do it. She'd pick you up like a baby as she sat down somewhere with her arms wrapped around you, she mumble under breath about it being to affectionate and not her style, but she'd stop the moment she heard your giggles and felt you own arms tring to fully wrap around her. She'd cave a littler to easy then she'd expect.

That brings me to another topic, shes always touching you, either with her spider legs or her own servos, She has too. Head pats if you don't hear her talking to you or don't turn around to look at her, Shhoulder taps if she wants you to inciate the tocuhing or if she just wants your attention.

I didn't get into nicknames with Arcee, simply because I didn't think she'd givve her S/O one, but Airachnid def did. Something only the lines of a small animal or insect, Like "Butterfly" or "Mouse", and if not one of those she'd just say "Dear". She'd justify it with some remark about your height, she maybe even use it when she want mocking your height. "Awww, little mouse can't reach." She thinks its cute.

Since she has the smae like spider silk a normal one has, I'd like to give the Idea of her making you one of those cattapiller cacoons sleeping bags for her to carry you around in, either while you sleep, or while she's taking you somewhere.

And one more Hc for the road. I feel Airachnid would teach her S/O to have her sass, even if you only use it in arugments or when provoked, She'd want you to have some type of quick tongue. I also feel like she'd teach S/O some type of Cybertronian self defense, something to help her if one finds her and she's not around to protect her little mouse. :)

hiii!! 3 things..

1) for your mask expression art where goro's mask is confused, you said you took inspiration from atsv? what is that, if i can ask?

2) in persona 4 arena , theres a shadow suppression unit named labrys and she essentially only wears yasogami's highschool uniform so if you look at labrys and aigis, the idea of shadow suppression unit goro works very well because his school uniform is nice enough that he can hide his princely (& maybe later darker?) outfit and appear more human when theyre in public (excluding ears of course.. those can be passed off as headphones however).. i just thought thatd be something you would find interesting

3) in norse mythology there's the myth of loki killing baldr, so skadi traps him below the earth with chains made of what's holding his 1st child fenrir down as well, and poison from a creature (i cant remember the exact creature unfortunately) but he stays there until the ragnarok (the end of the world) and his wife, sigyn, who puts up with all his mischief and the fact that 4/6 (or 4/5, depending on what iteration you look at) of loki's kids are not sigyn's at all (hel, the horse he gave birth to, fenrir, and jormungandr are the ones not sigyn's.. nardi and vali slash just nardi is sigyn's) . but anyway sigyn holds a bowl and catches the poison so loki doesnt suffer, and every once in awhile the bowl fills with poison so she has to go outside to dump it out, and loki withers in pain because while she is gone the poison drips down his head and it causes earthquakes.. but anyway. this all reminds me of engine room (being trapped & in pain, etc) and its also.. loki. so sigyn as akira and loki as akechi art would be super duper cool.. i encourage you to look into both loki and robinhood's myths because robinhood era-myths also include the mention of mordred, the incestous son of king arthur who kills his way to the top yet his revenge fails (reason unspecified, it can be assumed he was killed himself or robinhood took his revenge for him) and his outfit is suspiciously similar to that of the black mask's, from the horns to the black getup.. mordred is akechi, akira is robinhood, and robinhood's merry band of thieves are the PTs.

ty for listening to my rambling :D no one really mentions mordred and i think him and akechi's symbolism is so important.. also! What You've Already Buried by malevolentmango on ao3 touches on a lot of loki's myths and such if youd like to learn about it that way :D

sorry the face i made seeing how long this ask is AHSJGF took me a min to answer

1)ATSV is Across the the spiderverse ! that movie inspired quite a few things about my art style, that also just happen to work really well with p5s visual motifs since the comic book inspiration and heavy use of colour blocks and halftones, as well as they make the spiderman masks eyes emote, since they have them on for a big portion of the film, and its the cutest thing ever

2) Ive seen Labrys' design! she always reminds me of miku if im completely honest BWAHA but yesss he could possibly hide it very well, also the fact that he always wears gloves could hide his fingers too :D

3) havent touched too much into norse myth besides the surface level knowledge of it that i obtained thru osmosis, mostly from friends who were into it. also i loveeeee binge reading wikis and link hopping (did it with gnosticism -> ended up inspired and made the ophiomorphos piece hehe) but its such a spontanious thing for me, i shall keep it in mind tho :D i did wanna at some point read up on hereward more specifically, since out of his 3 personas him is the one i have not a single clue about but i....forgot...i really dont give a lot of love to hereward sobs

idk i guess the reason i keep looking up whether pcos is an intersex condition (& getting frustrated when all the results are conflicting or just say "maybe") is bc im. trying to figure out if thats like... fitting for me? i guess i feel conflicted abt it largely bc i feel like it wasnt as... idk, severe? for me as for some people. like, even now, as much as i hate it, most people initially assume im a cis woman. i look enough like one, even with my voice lower now i guess i still sound enough like one, i bind & generally wear pretty gender-neutral clothes & rarely wear makeup except for special occasions but still everyone sees me & mentally checks the "female" box. so, like, can i really claim to share that experience when even despite my best effort im still perceived as a woman?

but the thing is like. even before i realized i was transmasc some things always felt off, but the more i think about it its like. not really in the typical trans way tho? you always hear the simplification of "feeling like a man born in a womans body" but thats really not what it was like for me at all. back when i thought i was cis it felt more like my body never got the memo that it was supposed to be "female" in the first place. i have broad shoulders, most of my weight is in my stomach, ive never had a defined waist. i do have a large chest, but not in the way people usually imagine; theres no form to them, they literally just kinda hang there pointing straight at the floor, looking a lot more like really big "man boobs" than what youd expect from a "busty woman". height aside, my body shape is significantly more similar to whats considered to be the average mans body than the average womans. my periods happened seemingly at random, usually every three to four months or so but occasionally id go nine months without one. (it was only when i mentioned this to my mom in my early 20s & she said "thats still happening?" that i finally saw a doctor about it & got a pcos diagnosis.) i had body hair more comparable to the men in my family when i actually let it grow, and i was made fun of in fifth grade for having "man arms". i was ten. when i was around 15 a friends dad told my my voice sounded "husky", which, general weirdness aside, is not often a term used to describe a 15 year old girls voice.

like... idk, most of that is not what people mean when they say "not like other girls". so, yknow, maybe im just being too hard on myself.

hi. what if soloist yn hopelessly in love with member of a group (idk which maybe yunjin so she can finally WIN😭😭) and they used to know eachother maybe in america and they’re bffs and go to Korea tgt and have a messy codependent almost situationship in trainee days and when yunjin leaves to america again yn doesn’t want to be in a group w/out yunjin anymore and starts training for soloist and yunjin goes 2 the company again yk like comes back for lessera and yn is jumping for joy and runs up to her but yunjin is like “I’m straight and I’m gonna be debut I can’t afford to be caught with you” and yn becomes literally distraught and insane and writes good luck babe -by chappel roan as her debut song and becomes super popular and lessera is having a cb and yn aswell and wins and does the encore and sings the song while staring at yunjin. IM SO SMART CHAT😭😭

I DONT WANNA CALL IT OFF. BUT YOU DONT WANNA CALL IT LOVE. YOU ONLY WANNA BE THE ONE THAT I CALL BABY😭😭

YOU CAN KISS A HUNDRED BOYS IN BARS 😭😭SHOOT ANOTHER SHOT TRY TO STOP THE FEELING 😞YOU CAN SAY ITS JUST THE WAY YOU ARE 🥱🥱MAKE A NEW EXCUSE ANOTHER STUPID REASON😵‍💫😵‍💫GOOD LUCK BABE‼️WELL, GOOD LUCK, BABE😭YOUD HAVE TO STOP THE WORLD JUST TO STOP THE FEELING😭😭 GOOD LUCK BABE‼️‼️WELL GOOD LUCK BABE😢😢YOUD HAVE TO STOP THE WORLD JUST TO STOP THE FEELING😭😭

think I’m gonna call it off. even if you call it love. I just wanna love someone who calls me baby-

YOU CAN KISS A HUNDRED BOYS IN BARS—😭😭

maybe it could b a love triangle tewww because yunjin never wins. but maybe she could this time.

>yunjin sees yn performing and is like oh shit I think I love her

>another idol sees yn performing and is like ID CALL HER BABY😢

>yn should end up w yunjin messy crying and shit yk what I’m saying

IF U DONT WRITE THIS ISTG I WILL😭😭I WILL DO IT I SWEAR I WILL

-🎏

why does this remind me of a daft I posted like months ago (because I always just post my drafts when ik I’m not gonna finish it) like both yn and yunjin were on produce and were practically dating but yunjin was feeling threatened by yn’s popularity and did a complete switch on her and she gets eliminated and yn debuts in iz*one and I forgot were I left on after that it was like they either met again in ssserafim or just as idols when yunjin debuts but yeah this lowkey inspired me to finish writing that even tho i thought I never would 😭

Porrim Maryam, Meenah Peixes

Act 6, page 5263

PORRIM: It's a no+ble idea.

PORRIM: But I do+n't kno+w ho+w useful I'd be.

MEENAH: oh come praaaaawn 38[

PORRIM: What's the size o+f yo+ur party so+ far?

MEENAH: uh

PORRIM: It's still just yo+u, isn't it?

MEENAH: ... maybe

#losers #everywhere

PORRIM: If I were yo+u, I'd ask all the go+d tiers first. They'd give yo+u the mo+st tactical advantage, wo+uldn't they?

#Go+d tiers

PORRIM: Then yo+u can build yo+ur co+alitio+n aro+und them.

#Pajama party

MEENAH: i guess

PORRIM: +, they're immo+rtal, right? Or... gho+st immo+rtal, perhaps?

PORRIM: Dear Go+d, it's finally co+me to+ this. We have to+ talk abo+ut "gho+st immo+rtality" no+w, in a serio+us way?

#Gho+st immo+rtality #Serio+us business

MEENAH: lol yeah

PORRIM: Anyway, that's what I'd do+.

MEENAH: but i think the thing is the skull lord might actually be able to kill god tiers?

#at least... #ghost god tiers

PORRIM: Can he?

MEENAH: like bypass the whole judgment hullabeluga that makes em resurrect

#whaaaaales #<3

MEENAH: you know with the fancy clock and all

MEENAH: i dunno

PORRIM: Yo+u'll have to+ ask Aranea. I'm sure she co+uld talk yo+ur fin o+ff o+n the subject.

#Sylph o+f Wo+rds

MEENAH: oof

MEENAH: yeah maybe later

PORRIM: Do+ yo+u even kno+w who+ all the go+d tiers are?

MEENAH: um

PORRIM: There's Aranea. Did yo+u ask her?

MEENAH: yeah but she has her own plan

MEENAH: girl is going on a cherub jam or some bitch ass noise

#eff that

PORRIM: Ok. Well, I ho+pe this isn't to+o+ invasive, but what abo+ut yo+u?

MEENAH: ...

PORRIM: I've heard rumo+rs that yo+u reached go+d tier, but never let o+n to+ anyo+ne.

#Except presumably Damara...

MEENAH: you dont understand

MEENAH: its just that fucking thief of life getup

#looked like such ass

MEENAH: i couldnt just parade around in that hideous thing

#got a reputation to conchsider

PORRIM: So+ it is true, then. Tho+ught so+.

PORRIM: See what I mean, tho+ugh? I wasn't sure abo+ut that until just no+w. Rumo+rs are always flying, but secrets so+meho+w persist.

PORRIM: Who+ kno+ws who+ else reached go+d tier? A lo+t can happen in three sweeps. I o+nly kno+w I didn't make it.

PORRIM: But if yo+u need so+meo+ne to+ eerily pho+spho+resce in the demo+n's vicinity, while debating whether to+ try drinking his blo+o+d, then I'd like to+ think I easily crack the to+p 10+ candidates yo+u might co+nsider fo+r the jo+b.

MEENAH: yeah i know youd rock the glowin duties

PORRIM: This is true.

MEENAH: guess ill keep axin around

MEENAH: gonna bounce seaya meryam

hallo its kinda late but its bread anon i made a simple artisan bread with a recipe off tiktok bc like the grandma seemed really nice and it looked lowk not messy (it was in fact messy) but anyways yeah bread is saur good. I have no idea how to store the bread tho cuz like multiple websites said to wrap it in foil but then this morning it was hard and im just sadge over it but alas. the thing is about this recipe you can basically add anything to it and it'll work. im gonna try my hand at like milk bread bc im obsessed with the way the dough and bread look and come out. im trying to get more into baking sweets but like i have no idea what direction to go and what to stock up on this is so much holy cow

anonie!!! that sounds sawwww good!! i find bread quite difficult to store, its always so much better eaten fresh. i normally put it in like a paper bag, folded so just a little air gets in, but i have no idea what the best way is. <- i also find sprinking some water on it, and putting it in the oven (if u have one) for just 10 mins on low helps freshen it up sometimes. this probably works best on softer breads

milk bread looks so damn good ive never tried it though perhaps i should it does look amazing whenever is see it i just want to eat buckets of it

i would really recommend foccacia as quite a beginner-friendly one and plaited bread too <- thats easier than youd think because u can fuck up the plaits LOADS and it still looks rly fancy. also naan too because its so so so tasty. but both of these are not sweet breads! my brother loves making cinnamon buns tho and i dont think those are tooo difficult so maybe if ur after something sweeter i would recommend those :)

for the Nai pet-name ask, my immediate thought was what ive read on/off from Avatar fics (im not into the blue people but i have a friend who has NO ONE else into it and, again, im also not into it; but she knows im always down to read fics for fandoms im not in, bc 70, 80% of my joy for fanfics comes from how well-written they are over who theyre about or how in-character they are. so, bc i love her and i love good craftsmanship, i read whatever Avatar fics she likes (off-handedly, youd probably like "daddy issues" by makoodles on ao3, thats one if the Avatar fics my bud has sent me and it seems like your vibe if youd be into that fandom/reading fics regardless of if youre in the fandom or not)) and the reader in the fics ive often have been sent, when she is being romanced by someone like Tsu'tey who was born one of these aliens (as opposed to the dreamwalkers with "demon bodies" who were originally humans (some can switch back and forth still, but Jakesully and Quaritch only have their alien bodies now. but, still, originally human so they wouldnt call a human!reader the insults someone like Tsu'tey would). but yeah the Avatar people fucking HATE humans as a species generally (which. fair. considering the context) hence why im looking at them for the human-hater that is Knives) will go from insulting them to gently calling them the insult as a term of endearment. it usually is "my human" (or "my sky-person" since thats a synonym for human for them, but that isnt applicable here) or "little demon" which, idk, im always weirdly soft for Weird Nicknames Of Endearment esp when they start off as insults but then become full of affection

but yeah i just think thatd suit Nai too, maybe not the terms themselves (tho i can see him using "(little) demon/devil" bc of the Christianity thing tho, i will admit) but rather the concept of an Insult He Would Use For Any Human then becoming a specific term of endearment for the reader. itd be like an illusion of control over his feelings. hes still insulting them, he still hates the reader/all humans, see?? hes insulting them still (pay no attention to the fact that its become less and less insulting over time and spoken with more possessive affection as you take less and less offense to it. maybe the reader has one back for him. (the only time i saw the reader in the Avatar fics ive been sent was in another one by makoodles, where the reader called Tsu'tey "big guy". idk if thats a befitting exchange for someone on the level of Nai tho lmao rip)

---

now, the ask could end there. but, in case you dont like any of the above but do like the idea of "insult to endearment" pipeline, i do have a list of "pet-names" in my notepad app for character inspo so lemme look through my insults section (you might get lucky looking for something Christian-specific tho for Knives but, alas, i wasnt ever raised with that religiok so i only vaguely know it via pop culture osmosis. maybe something with "sinner" or "infidel" or "nonbeliever"?? maybe "angel" in a wholly sarcastic/mocking way, but that feels more modern!Knives than canon-universe!Knives) idk. anyway) similar ones i know that are unrelated to those fics for a fandom in not in would be: hellkite (its a regency era insult im super soft for, for absolutely no reason lmao rip), spitfire, princess/pretty boy, speck (it was a shortened form of "speck of dirt" that became affectionate, kinda like "squirt" but less kid-oriented. i came up with it for a story ive since abandoned for the Male Lead to call the person he has a slowburn hate-to-love relationship with and felt very clever lmao), baby (ive laughed so hard at the "baby"/"now is not the time for pet names"/"im not doing that. im insulting you. you are such a fucking baby" misunderstanding meme as soon as i saw it ages ago), tornado, harpy, nerd, idiot/jerk/dork/pansy/bonehead/dummy/twerp/blockhead/dimwit (aka some of the Schoolyard (Common) Insults though theres others in this list that could also qualify to be here), asshole/bastard/bitch/fucker/dickhead/smart-ass/jackass/dumbass (aka the Includes A Curseword (Common) Insult), heathen/scoundrel/cad/cassanova/rake/ruffian, airhead, pervert/perv, deadbeat, bugger/git/prat (The Brittish Variety), freak, weirdo, coward, scavenger, chicken, missy, hermit, walnut/peanut, punk, porcelain, doll/dolly, charming (as a shortened form of a sarcastic Prince Charming), wannabe, my toy, pet, livestock, furball, poppet, stringbean, flower, kitten/kitty-cat, cupcake/muffin, ladies, canary/parakeet/mockingbird, pretty, carrier (kinds like of disease, to carry a disease, a carrier. could similarly work with an actual illness, like calling someone "herpes" or "pneumonia"), ladybird, morsel, meatlet/meatbag, maggot, sonny/buddy/bestie, "feeble turtle duck" (which is what Eska refers to her "boyfriend", Bolin), Bambi/Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse/Seasme Street/Cinderella/Sniw White/Rapunzel/Ugly Duckling/Little Red (Riding Hood. similarly, "Big Bad" or "Mr Wolf"/Princess and the Pea/White Knight/Muppet, pest, colonizer/squatter/settler (close companion ideas that i dont want to attach but also dont, bc the following would only work in a sci-fi sense: planeteer/terraformer/parasite and i tried to think of some more plant ones for my own purposes (tho maybe Nai would call his human something closer to an antonym of a plant, idk) so heres the related listing i came up with for my own devices for your in tandem needs pollinator/weedling/harvester/reaper/uprooter), my little monster, mastercard (as in "my little wallet" kinda sugarbaby talk or something idk), bossy girl/needy thing/runner boy/errand dog, lamb/lamby (as in "sacrificial lamb"?). i hope something here is either to your fancy or inspires you to something that would be ♡

if you want my vote for what i listed that i can at knock my head around and see Nai using as an Insult Of Endearment, id pick from my own wordbank the following: (beside the Christian or anti-plant ones i already mentioned. i think anything here would come to be attached with a possessive "my" inbtime tho) "my human" (maybe also "my mortal"? idk), little demon/devil, spitfire, speck, "my toy", "my pet" (bc i can see him initially rationalizing his attachment to his human as like that between an owner and a pet, or as a plaything of his, or something like that anyway), pest, parasite (this one i specifically like bc he would use it as an insult against all humans but then, in time, it would come to allude to how he wants your existance to depend on him, need him, to survive), livestock, squatter, morsel, meatlet/meatbag, harvester/reaper/uprooter, little monster, needy thing, lamb, canary/parakeet (in a "caged bird" way anyway)

tangentially, if he picks an insult like "my little monster" or "my pet" or something, i can imagine him also becoming obsessed with you allowing him to put his fingers in your mouth as an extension of how hed like controlling you, whether thats to look at and mock how ineffective your mouth would be to defend you or because he wants to be a pest and pull at your tongue. just him going "bare your teeth for me" or "open your mouth" and grazing his fingers along your canines with contemplation (at first to mock you but, in time, to worry how defenseless you are and allow himself to poke at his own bruise). idk. anyway)

ill still make a vote in your poll to my favorite of thr listing but im too shy to reblog yet, forgive me, but i thought you might like this consideration via anon if nothing else considering how skittish i am otherwise with attention. i hope thats okay, and that you have a good day!!

gonna put this under a read more so it doesn’t get any longer!!

firstly anon thank you so much for taking the time to come to my inbox and give me all your thoughts on this i appreciate them greatly 💕💕

now to get into it!!

so i’ve never seen the avatar films….i never saw the first or the second. i know very little about them actually LMAO. however!! i could absolutely see the similarities that you’re pointing out and i think it’s so lovely that you support your friend and their obsession and i think it’s great fun that you’re drawing parallels to other fandoms/thoughts/etc.! that’s what it’s all about baby!!!

(side note: i believe i have read makoodles my hero academia fanfic back in the day and they are a wonderful writer!!! i have a bit of a harder time getting into fanfic of characters/stories i don’t fully know but i’ll absolutely take a peak still!)

okay okay now onto the actual pet name portion of it. first of all your roster of them is crazy expansive. and kinda wonderful to have on hand!!!

also like i think you hit the nail on the head with the idea of a name given as an insult sorta becoming one of endearment over time for nai?? i like that a great deal. i think it’s pretty fitting for him too. if the reader is human, ig!! i have toyed with ideas of a fic where the reader is another independent? bc i think there are others….? elendira the crimsonnail is one right?? or a hybrid of some kind-? and for that reader i definitely think he’d have something a lil more reverent? i could then see something closer to “little one” “dove” or following the religious theme of “angel”

continuing on that note…i was unfortunately raised roman catholic and went to a catholic school most of my life SO. i do have a wide knowledge of this hfksjska i think “lamb” really stood out to me. i could also maybe see (and everyone feel free to boo me and drag me off stage call me crazy etc. etc. BUT)….like a scornful Biblical “child” as in, “Bow your head, child.” that sort of speak.,.,that sort of demeaning version first where he’s trying to assert that he’s older and wiser and better and that you have much to learn from him and then softening later into a gentler term of endearment. but idk i’m not as obsessed w that one it’s just a Thought.

i do like “lamb” quite a bit tho. i am….TUCKING THAT ONE AWAY.

i do like wretched readers and a more specific nickname nai might give them…..wretched little thing, needy little thing, brat, etc. etc. the caged bird is quite intriguing too…songbird, canary, etc.

now finally…..that lil snippet at the end ab nai putting his fingers in your mouth?? oh i’m ILL. i’m SICK. yeahhhh i fan absolutely see that. i think he thumbs at your dull lil canine teeth. and absolutely calls you pet while he does so. THIS IS A GOOD THOUGHT ANON. it’s gonna stick around in my head yup yup yup

ANYWAYS THANK YOU!!! for all your thoughts and ideas 💕💕 i appreciate them greatly and appreciate you taking the time out of your day to message me 💕💕 hope you have a good day as well 💕

youd think removing skin from a dead rat would be the most dreaded part of the process but actually the thing holding me back right now is the fact that the sun is too bright to walk anywhere to get the tools required for that. like sunlight make my head hurty is way harder to face than REMOVE DEAD RAT SKIN FROM SKULL. maybe ill change my tune once im actually at that part LOL. im finding myself very excited at the idea of challenging myself like this though. its gonna be disgusting and im not going to like it but im. like im gonna brave that. and get through it. and then once i do the rest of the cleaning process have an animal skull like ive always wanted. its gonna be so cool. and its gonna be even better knowing that im the one who did the challenging part of it myself rather than like. just buying something i want to collect. you know????? im excited to test myself and come out of it like. less grossed out by things. thats a benifit there. and its on easy mode anyway cause the bones look basically clean of flesh under there, and i just found it like that. nature done most of the work i just gotta remove the hide and probably bury it in a pot plant to clean up a bit more. ive learned online that leaving it out above ground works better, and those ravens hanging out lately would probably love to pick at itREALISATION. DID I STEAL THEIR MEAL. OH MY GODF. OKAYT. btw there are 4 ravens hanging out in my street the past couple days and i will befriend them if its the last thing i do ive been dreaming of this for years and my neighbor did the heavy lifting by leaving out all that food for them the other day. what was i saying. oh yeah i dont want my dog to like eat it and get sick obviously. then. maceration is also an option but my parents will find that too gross im sure. i did a ton of research this morning. after that is degrease in dish soap and water if needed and then soak in hydrogen peroxide mixed w water. that'll all be later tho. its going to be very interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do u have any advice or reassurance for someone who identified as a binary trans man for a long time and then realized he’s genderfluid and is kind of panicking about whether to come out again about it or just privately be genderweird and is questioning whether to continue hormonal transition? :)

i think its super normal and even cool to have transitioned as a binary trans person and later realized you're more genderqueer/genderfluid/nonbinary/androgynous etc. i know other people who have done the same thing, and i relate as well, more with my physical transition than my identity but yeah :)

i'd say for both hrt and coming out, it depends on what would make you happiest of course! if you aren't uncomfortable with people seeing you as male and think it wouldnt be worth it to come out again bc you're already fine with your social/external gender, its totally chill to just know you're genderfluid and be genderfluid on your own, no pressure to come out. but if you think youd feel more comfortable and understood if people knew you're genderfluid and maybe changed what pronouns they use for you (obvs u dont have to change ur pronouns if u come out either) etc, coming out again could be a good option! the people who love u will be excited for you figuring out yourself more and be happy to support you, i know it can be weird to come out again, but theres absolutely nothing wrong with changing how you identify. and remember u dont have to Formally Come Out all at once, u can also just tell your close friends one at a time when u feel comfortable with it, take it slow and casual, thats how ive been approaching changing my pronouns and some complicated stuff w my name.

as for HRT, i struggled a Lot to decide if i wanted to keep taking it, for months i was unsure. firstly i made a list of all the effects T had on me, positive and negative, and wrote each thing i thought about into two columns on a piece of paper (staying on T vs going off T) which helped me sort out on a practical level what going off it would mean. but its really all about the vibes lol like its completely cool for u to continue T and still be genderfluid, you don't have to meet any standard for androgyny, if you like being on T thats sweet. if you want to be read as more androgynous or feel like going off T would be more congruent with your identity, thats also great. and remember you can always go back on it in the future if you want!

everything i said was really obvious but yeah. its awesome that u have learned more about yourself and accepted it as part of you. whatever you do from here is up to you, and any path you take is great. personally, i find it worth it to re-come our to my closest friends and be open about changes in my gender identity and presentation, it helps me a lot even tho its a hassle to deal with. but as for acquaintances and strangers idc about coming out since any way they read me is whatever

it has been strange for me going very far with my physical transition (3years on T and had top surgery), and then deciding to go off T and present more purposefully feminine/androgynously. i love it tho its fun to explore now that i can choose with ease to be a boy or a girl or neitherboth etc since my body is v androgynous/masculine. love to be a girl with masculine features and love to be a boy with feminine features too. teehee

good luck i hope whatever you do makes u happy!!!

🕰️🗺️ for Junko and 💍 for Rhea? (@speculist-rinthi)

HOLYHAUNT TIME !!! tysm !!! lesbian talk !!! lets goO!!!!

🕰️ Has there been an event that happened in your OCs past that affects their future or one that they think about still? Is this a bad event or a good one? What are a few of their childhood memories they can recall?

Junkos past relatively chill (unless i suddenly come up with a reason for it to not be chill, revenant related problems perhaps) but I guess the greatest shift in their life was when they met Rhea! Not only did they suddenly meet someone who could actually hear the echoes they had careried around with themselves their whole life, but Rhea also fueled their passion for music even more. That very first moment of meeting eachother, the first glimpse they got of her, thats probably a moment so important to Junko, something that they think about frequently, if they want to admit it or not.

For childhood memories, I think some key moments are things like getting their first bass, seeing a band they love, little things like that. One of their older brothers is with the pact and was there for the Zhaitan battle, so seeing him come back from that and celebrating the dragons death must have been pretty big! Youd probably expect the whole revenant echo stuff to be a big moment too but to be quite honest, Junko doesnt remember when it even started.

🗺️ Does your OC like going on adventures? Have they ever discovered something really interesting and significant or are they just too busy getting lost? Where is their favourite place they’ve been? Least favourite?

Junko always wanted to go out and explore the world! After all thats why theyre on world tour right now :D While the original plan for that tour was to see the world and relax a bit, and maybe sightseeing, things got out of hand and they ended up being a local hero helping the people they meet with the dangers the dragons and other terrors left behind. SO it's less "checking out these nice places <3" and more "yooo while i was hunting down the nightmare court we found this really sick cave! couldn't stay too long tho cause i got poisoned on the way in and Rhea was also on the verge of bleeding out, but we'll check it again some day :)"

One of Junkos favourite places must've been the black citadel and Charr areas in geneal as well as cantha. The citadel of its very cool badass metal architecture, and Cantha because- We'll they cant hekp but feel at home there. Like something flipped in their head when they got there. Meanwhile, their current least favourite place is Kryta, maybe just because theyre very sick of it :')

💍 Does your OC have a specific item that is priceless to them but may (or may not) be completely worthless to someone else? Is there a story behind this item or is it just because they like it so much?

Rhea likes to carry around some nice sharp looking things she finds! She likes little shiny pointy stuff :) also, she is a medium and comes across some haunted objects every now and then and decides to keep them for a bit to bring them to a place where the spirits can find happiness. a lot of the time, these objects are just little mundane things, junk items. most people don't even know that they carry a spirit in them, so when people see her carry around a vase for days they wouldnt know that theres a lost spirit sitting in there waiting to be carried to their favourite place or familys house.

and of course, this is Rhea we are talking about, and she definetly has some kind of gift from Junko that she treasures so deeply. Maybe its a piece of jewelry, some kind of ring or chain or something, but no matter what it is, it means the world to her and she'd just explode if she were to lose it- for rather obvious reasons <3

Omg its friday again, I feel like last frriday was 3 days ago. Time? What is time? pfff ANYWAYS

Miller has really been on my mind recently and I was thinking about going on a job with him. The both of you having each other's back, how much he needs to be close to you once you're back home but also not wanting to smother you? Like, you get out of the shower to the smell of homemade dinner and he's just there with those gorgeous eyes, so you kiss him and thank him and suddenly it's getting hot-

hi huuun sorry it takes me a bit to answer those i am... exhausted.

im glad he's been on your mind because he is...always somewhere in my head anywaaay

i like that i like that a lot i think, for Will id be incredibly stressful to do jobs like that with you because even tho he's fully aware you're completely capable of taking care of yourself he still has that very strong need to protect you or at least to try and make sure you're safe. So i think after that when you're back at home. like you said hed has that need to be close to be with you but hed also, of course, respect your space that you often need. Hed do things like, prepare a shower or a bath, cook dinner, change the bed so its nice and fresh for you later. hed do all those little things that just feel so natural for him because, WIll doesn't necessarily do those things for you to notice them or like acknowledge that he's doing something for you. He doesn't think about it much he just knows and understands you're tired and there are days when you're the one doing those things to make him feel better so why shouldn't he do it this time? You know?

Youd notice all those things, of course, you would because, the homemade food and the clean space, the bath or shower, every single one of those things just helps you feel so much better after getting home SO like you said you come over to the kitchen and cup his face in your hand gently while whispering a quiet "thank you". He nod, with that goddamn smile but before he can say anything else your lips are on his and yes maybe this was supposed to be a small little thank you kiss maybe you were going to pull away after a moment maaaaybe but the way he brings you in closer, his hand one hand on your waist and the other now on the side of your face, it just makes you melt and all the thoughts just disappear...that's what I think at least.

godd my sibling is such a dick sometimes

we are two very different people yknow, theyre out applying to jobs in person and im too scared to leave my own house for anything more than a car ride or maybe going out to eat. i have pretty cripping arachnophobia like i would say it controls my day to day life. i have certain routines i go through that i always do when im leaving a room, coming up the stairs etc in terms of like. spider scanning to make sure theres no threat cuz like

in my head it is a threat, but not for the reasons youd think. ive never been afraid a spider was gonna hurt me (unless its like. a widow or something else fucky but i dont see many venomous types). the biggest threat for me and my wellbeing is if it touches me or not. i cannot let them touch me under any circumstance because it makes me want to like. rip my skin off or some shit. i wont be normal for a while if one does (which unfortunately has happened so thats how i know)

this is a pretty big inconvenience for me obviously but apparently its also a huge inconvenience watching me deal with it cuz they complain all the time about how my fear makes no sense and how its not that big of a deal. i know its irrational! its a PHOBIA. i know it doesnt make sense but at the end of the day i still feel it and the fear it brings so maybe stfu!!!

being argued with over my own fear is so. like they start speaking as if they know better than me "the spiders arent going to touch you" yeah not if i can help it! i have really bad luck with spiders tho and i can guarantee they probably will if they could. the way they act around me its like im a magnet bro. if theres one on the ceiling i will never walk under it because it WILL fall on me, thats happened several times. kill them as soon as you can reach on the walls cuz they will fall and crawl on yr bed or floor, etc like. DO NOT try and tell ME what a spider will do, i know what theyll do and im hardly ever wrong. when you spend as much time as i do looking out for them and watching them, you get a good feel for their behavior.

daddy long legs are the worst for me because of their. extendo reach thats more touching capability!!! theyr fucking massive in my eyes because the legs count, comparing their legspan to other spiders its very obvious why theyd be the ones i justcannot deal with. plus they are CLUMSY they fall so much i hate it

and then my sibling was CONFUSED??? as to why i couldnt kill the ones we were seeing myself. was genuinely confused when i said that i have a hard time killing any spiders because i get nervous before i swing and sometimes i fuck up just based on nerves alone. like why is that such a shock how can you barely fathom that if someones nervous theyre gonna hesitate and mess up a bit, its so.

im tired of explaining myself all the time, but i keep doing it over and over cuz they seem to forget that one of my defining characteristics is my fear of spiders like. they all know about it they never fail to complain about it and theyll be like "but thats so inconvenient for you to do this extra shit just to avoid a spider" yeah! it is! i wish i didnt feel this way at all, i wish i could be normal like them, but im not

its one of those things where like. as much as you dont like to hear about it or see me deal with it (for some reason), this is something that will ALWAYS be harder for me to handle than it is for them so theres no reason for them to be complaining. they arent the ones who miss out on things because theres a spider in the way

ik this all sounds silly probably but its very genuine and controlling fear for me, they think its voluntary. what a fucking joke, you think id voluntarily live like this?
