Saros and Miranda

Heartbreaking! Goro Akechi doesn’t love or hate sweets, but a secret third thing (pleasantly neutral)

[gift for the speedrun champion.png] Surprise I'm drawing your Stanley for once!

Something of a bit of surprise gift art for @alexis-royce because his reply to my comment was very heartwarming for me to read.

I had actually wanted to draw them interacting like this when I saw that picture on- ...no context, but I got a bit distracted and so now you're finally getting it!

(gonna ramble more at the end of my regular tags.)

*googling* how much is it okay to white out because I stood or sit up ? Just a little bit of whiting out ? Like a few times a day ? Just like a couple dozen ?

Gonna give this another go, preferably one of mine and somebody else's but like I'll do two from others as well

A can of chili beans, a can of diced tomatoes + peppers, a packet of chili seasoning, some ground meat of your choice (optional), and a bit of dijon mustard and/or bbq sauce to taste = lazy but still cozy and hearty chili

“Come on, surely your taste buds aren’t that weak!” The answer was obvious enough by how red Xiaodan’s face had turned with every bite of the fuqi feipian. He looked on the verge of passing out but Zhaohui couldn’t help but tease a little more. “Maybe if you take another bite the pain will finally be numbed.” To rub it in the younger’s face, Zhaohui took another bite of his meat.

That seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back and, seemingly determining that his pride wasn’t worth his health, Xiaodan pushed his bowl away with an angry hiss. “It doesn’t make sense for food to be that spicy! How can anyone enjoy something when it hurts too much to eat!”

A clink of chopsticks against another porcelain bowl drew both of the dragons’ attention to find Minglian seated and calmly eating her own portion. Noticing the pair of eyes on her, the hand holding her chopsticks froze midair, a piece of beef nearly at her lips. “What? Did I do something?”

“Oh, Xiao-Xiao, outdone by the youngest one?” He whistled lowly. “How embarrassing.”

That’s it, he’s leaving.

I clicked on one of those twitter threads about holding yuri to high standards and got excited when someone in the comments talked about loving “problematic yuri”, but then their recommendation was Citrus

It doesn’t even cross my mind when I think about “problematic media” why are people being so weird about it

Hello, nsfw ask here, feel free to ignore if you want to but could you share with us the dinamic between them in bed? How are they handling things, does one like to watch the other two, who is more dominant, any kinks, etc? Basically everything you are comfortable sharing. I just love how you portray them even if Em breaks my heart every time.

I don't actually mind nsfw asks. Under a cut because 1) y'know and 2) I wrote too much this was only gonna be a couple paragraphs why...

Starting this off by stating that Emery is a transman with zero interest in bottom surgery. Okay, cool, now that that's out of the way...

I've stated a few times that Emery likes being sandwiched by his boyfriends because it's comforting. That doesn't actually extend to the bedroom. Kinda the opposite, too claustrophobic and overstimulating. They tried it once early on, didn't end well, but you live, laugh, and learn to navigate unexpected triggers. Less stressful with Wei at his back but still not great.

Anyway, Em approaches Ric and Wei a little differently. He's bossy and snarky when it comes to Ortega because the man is too smug for his own good. Ric knows how to rile him up and Em delights in reducing him to incoherent babbling as a result. He can be insufferably smug again after they're done, and it's kinda what Em expects, but more often than not Ric is just content and sappy instead. Enjoys bossing Chen around (with little to no snark) because he needs to let go and relax, and in return Emery has no issue relinquishing control to him from time to time as well. He knows he's in safe hands, due in small part to the fact that Em can actually read his mind. (Rationally, Em knows he's safe in both their hands but trauma. This is definitely something that had to be talked about to avoid miscommunication and hurt feelings. Something he tries to work on but Ric would never, not in a million years, hold it against him. Their dynamics are different and that's to be expected. This is also maybe more one on one instances.)

Fair to say they're all flexible when it comes to the roles they play in the bedroom. All pretty verse. They respect boundaries, know when to tap out, and want to please. But Em is primarily dominant. He needs to be in control beyond foreplay to feel comfortable. Topping from the bottom and such. No restraints or being held down. If his partners want to be on the receiving end of that, totally fine.

And I find it hard to believe that all three wouldn't enjoy watching the others get worked up? The main differences being:

Ortega is almost physically incapable of keeping his hands 100% to himself. He'll show restraint because he's mindful of where lines are drawn in the sand but...soft touches, raspy little compliments/encouragements, and stolen kisses? Can't resist. He's a lot more handsy with Wei compared to Emery in these situations however, because boundaries. That doesn't stop him from kissing and piling on the praise, something Em claims to hate but in actuality does not. His flustered grumbling is endearing and so are Chen's.

Chen is able to outwardly keep his composure but his gaze is intense. Thoughts too. That alone is sometimes a tipping point for Em, but the moment he's given the okay? It's over for his partners. This is a man willing to give as much as take 210% and the fact that he's carefully attentive no matter the role is devastating in such a tender way. On the flip side, Em and Ric love teaming up to unravel Chen because he overworks himself and deserves to be treated. This is a frequent enough occurrence that Wei can come home and know what direction his evening is gonna take based on the look these two troublemakers exchange over dinner, or a certain tone of voice...

Emery very much enjoys watching from the sidelines, so keeping his hands to himself isn't a problem. Especially with Ric. Nothing unravels Ricardo quite as fast as Em being close enough to touch but refusing until he asks nicely. What counts as nice varies. Keeping his thoughts to himself, however, is another story entirely. Letting Chen feel his excitement/affection and getting to visibly see his reaction, however subtle, is addicting. Buuuuut that's a dangerous gamble because it's a two way street. Results in a literal battle of the minds that Ortega can pick up on if Em is wearing a certain lazy grin and the loser is whoever curses first. Doing both these things at the same time and watching his partners come undone? *chef kiss* This is what they both deserve for taking advantage of the praise kink he absolutely, 100% does not have shut the hell up

And, I mean, they also have their one on one moments but this reply is already too long I'm so sorry

Pet peve of mine is ppl who genuinely call Akechi stupid. Like yes he makes some Real stupid mistakes & yes he faked most of his "solved" cases. But his wit in Sae's palace is real, & also he's like top of his school lol u can't forget that.

Akechi's smart, he just has a terminal case of Being A Fucked Up Teenager

You know, you have the Whorf hypothesis, which talks about how language might effect how we think

I believe one of the things he (or someone else saying similar things) brought up was the idea that:

If we for instance have barrels which used to contain a toxic chemical that's now empty, but the barrel is still dangerous, does lacking a word for "empty but dangerous" influence how we think about or treat this barrel? Would someone be less cautious around it for instance because "empty" implies to an extent that the barrel is back to how it was before it was filled?

Anyway, this is just me establishing a concept here

My thought here is if poorly fitting words may disproportionately warp people's understanding of concepts

I wonder if by using phrases like "artificial intelligence" we don't meaningfully skew perception of "ai" programs towards a thinking program, even among people who have some understanding of how it works (basically rapidly running a number of calculations until it gets an answer it thinks will be good, it's similar to those "having a simulated bird learn to walk" things you'll see, just very fast)

How much do we end up having certain terms basically become poison pills because of how ubiquitous they've become while being almost totally wrong

I'm not even really talking about things like reasonable terms used wrong, like people saying "gaslighting" when they mean "lying"

It really is specifically with terms like "ai" where... well... where I'm afraid we may have done irrevocable damage to public understanding of something, and where... I don't know that there's a way to ever fix it and shift the language used

Just something I'm thinking about tonight

let me psycho analyze u while i assign u poetry

"...ahem. I believe there's nothing left to be discussed."

bottled emotions

tell them. tell them right now. you keep your emotions bottled up and it is doing absolutely no one a favor including you. you're the type of person that incorporates your feelings into art because you have no idea how to say it out loud. you fear rejection and the fact that you might not be good enough. i'm sensing recent heartbreak or unrequited love. if it's for you, it will come back to you. you're enough, i swear.

Honestly thinking about how Minecraft mechanics translated into my canon is really fun. I love being a fictive it makes it so easy to answer burning questions. Like what magma cream tastes like haha get it

I'm making a neighbor hc for Diavolo and for some reason, it's actually hard to think of anything spicy or nsfw for his compared to the JJK boys?? Unless I want to think kf something really kinky like voyeurism or smth dark. It's turning out very soft and sweet, which I mean Im glad for, but it feels out of place with the others. Hmmm i guess ill keep at it

if there is one thing i wanna have like. a Orca family recipe for, its honey mustard. yall know im a fat fuck, i looove me some sweets but im also a hardcore fried food kinda gal as well so having something ultra sweet to drizzle on it and not be seen as a weirdo is my jam and i wanna make it myself

more random simon headcanons <3

☼ his favorite colors are black, blue, and grey. his personal style is very plain, black hoodies, white tee's, and black sweatpants are his go to. simon doesn't want to stand out any more than he already does with his large frame, so he opts for comfort over style.

☼ simon is very helpful around the house, constantly tidying up and fixing anything with a problem. he has no issue doing the dishes or folding the laundry, but for some reason he hates sweeping and mopping? you don't get it, it's not an intense or demanding chore, but simon claims that "it's too boring" and he'd rather trade something else with you. it becomes an agreement for him to do most things in the room, and then you come in after to finish with a quick sweep and mop.

☼ he's extremely low maintenance. he always buys the cheapest products he sees, opting for a basic body wash and 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner. when you first started dating, he didn't even own a proper face wash, using the bar of soap from his shower. simon isn't the type to have a whole routine, but he does pay more attention to the things he purchases so he can impress you with a new scented body wash or a moisturizer you'd mentioned.

one of his favorite gifts to ever receive from you is a bottle of cologne, loving the way you're drawn to him every time he gives himself a spritz. now every christmas he asks you to get him a new one that you'd like him to wear!

☼ cannot handle spice for the life of him. we all know that foods in the UK are usually seasoned with just salt and pepper, and not commonly spicy, so he's sensitive to it. something you may consider mild will have him breaking into a sweat and chugging down a bottle of water to ease some of the burn. his cheeks get flushed red and he just shakes his head in pain, reminding himself to never trust you when you say "oh it's not that spicy!" ever again.

☼ he has the lowest screen time, averaging about 20-30 minutes a day, and that time is spent either texting/calling you, taking photos of you, looking through photos of you, or making lists for you. the only extra app he has downloaded is goodreads, and even then you were the one that downloaded it and created his account. his passcode is set as your birthday too of course.

he's a little obsessed.
