Hiii!! I’m the same anon who requested the “Recruiters w/ children” little thing and I’m here again with more Recruiters fluff because i have no sense of self control/j

I was searching for Recruiters fanArts and my brain randomly started throwing cute scenarios abt them, and one of those were about the Recruiters on a tickle fight?? Idk, maybe all of them were having a little sleepover together and Jack started it just for the chaos of it (i can definitely see him doing it), or maybe it started as a Joke on Apple (because non of them would get tired of picking up on poor boi Appoi lol) and the others ended up joining on a way or another. Think about it, it would be super cute!! If you like share ur own headcanons/scenarios about it, it would be interesting to read.

Also, not related but can i be ur Fluff anon? I would like to let u know wherever i come here to share more fluffy things Ö

Hello again! This is the first time anyone has come to me and asked me to call them by an anon nickname! I'm honored! Of course you can be Fluff Anon!

I hope you don't mind, I went a little off script for this ask. But I still had the core idea in mind.

Now, without further adieu, let's set the scene!

-------------‐---------------------------------------------------------

The Sleepover War

So, one would think that a sleepover with your colleagues would be nothing but blustering, posturing, and chaos beyond anyone's imagination.

Well, you'd be wrong! For the first two anyway...

Chaos is inevitable with this crew. It follows them wherever they go. Hence, why the idea of a slumber party sounded off alarms in the more "mature" recruiters' heads.

Even so, the night hadn't been nearly as terrible as they'd thought it be. Sure, there were complaints here and there, competitiveness ran amok throughout the games they played, and no one could agree on the movie to watch, but it was...fun. Really fun, in fact.

And somehow, by some miracle, all of them had settled into a moment of peace.

Apple, Ms. Hades, Veil, and Hock were playing cards that Jack had brought, Joe, Faja, and Malfie were watching a movie with Malfi attempting and failing to convince them both that he'd make a better leading man, and Dalmatia and Pretty Scar were not-so-secretly eating the leftover food from the kitchen.

This left one remaining character: Jack. Who was starting to get bored. Sure, the peacefulness of all this was relaxing, and watching the card game had been fun for the first two hours, but it was so dull now to watch Apple win over and over again. That smug bastard. So to satiate his boredom, he grabbed the nearest pillow he could find....

...and threw it right at Apple's face.

Apple Poison 🍎

Oh, come on! He was just at his 37th win!

After getting over the sudden shock at what had just happened, Apple glared at the card boy, who gave an innocent look in return. Feigning an apology. But Apple knew.

He was challenging him.

Well then, if it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he'll get!

The elder recruiter throws a pillow right back at Jack, and from there, it begins.

Apple gets some wins in himself, but Jack is more nimble and fast, so it ends up at a tie near the end. Such a shame, too. It was a battle of epic proportions.

Though he probably would've won overall if the others didn't start throwing pillows at him as well. Traitors...

Jack Heart ❤️

What? Don't tell him that no one else had wanted to do that! He had it coming to him!

Jack focuses mostly on Apple during the fight, but he lands a few hits on the others, too. Like they say, the more the merrier!

This goes on for a while until Jack realizes that Apple wasn't giving up anytime soon. So, he resorted to drastic measures...

Tickling!

After getting the elder on the ground, Jack, Hock, and a few others hold Apple down and start tickling!

Unfortunately, Apple broke free, and the war went on once again, ending with a tie. Well, that was kinda anticlimactic.

Still fun though! Absolutely no regrets!

Malfi (Malfie) 🪞 vs. Eight Foot Joe 🐙 vs. Faja (Farja) 🌹

Malfi laughs at the duo's antics until a pillow lands on him.

Great! Now his hair is ruined, and Faja and Joe have the nerve to laugh at him?! Retribution is nigh!

He takes a swing at Joe, who promptly uses his tentacles to grab the sofa cushion, then at Faja, who was too distracted with laughing at Joe to notice the incoming attack.

Red with rage, Faja also grabs a pillow and hits Malfi full force.

This leads to a stand-off between the three of them. Cue the cowboy showdown music.

It goes on like that for a while until they slowly rope the others into their fight.

They finally call it quits about two or three hours later after getting it all out of their system.

Mr. Dalmatia 🐾 and Pretty Scar (Mzuri) ✨️

They both peek their heads out of the kitchen to see what the fuss is all about.

After finishing her snacks, Mzuri pulls Dalma into the room to join them.

PS throws the first pillow at him, to which Dalma grabs a few and chucks them at her.

Once in a while, Dalma will double team with Jack against Apple. He can't leave his best bro hanging!

It's actually PS who gets the idea of tickling her opponents. And that gave Jack the idea of holding Apple down and torturing him until he gave in. She actually helps Jack hold him down for a while until she gets distracted, and Apple finds a way to escape.

After that, Mzuri mostly focused her efforts on Dalma. Likewise, Dalma finds anything left to use against his hyena foe.

Their match ends when Preety Scar lands her foot on top of Dalma's chest and declares herself victorious. Dalma, in an attempt to get her off of him, pulls her leg down, and she crashes onto the floor with him.

As they stumble to get back up, they both lose their balance and end up in that clichéd "floor kiss" pose.

While annoyingly blushing (Dalma) and happily blushing (PS), they finally get up, head back into the kitchen to grab a snack, and just watch the rest of the matches.

Veil 🔔

Veil's first reaction was curiosity as to why a pillow had just been thrown. To which Hock explained that a pillow fight had just been challenged.

Growing up, Veil had never been to sleepovers before. She had heard about them and the customs that went along with it, but she never had the chance to partake in any herself.

So when Hock reminds her of what a pillow fight is, Veil is surprised by how she's forgotten all about the youthful traditions that usually happen at sleepovers.

She then asks Hock if she'll join in, to which she finds Hock loading up stock with all the pillows she sees, hands Veil a few of them, and aims the rest at Apple.

Veil sits there for a while, wondering if she'll join, until she sees the others joining in. So she goes for it!

She throws a couple at Hock and Jack, who invites her to help them hold down Apple. She even gets to land a few hits!

After Apple breaks free, Hock turns her attention towards Veil. They have it out for a while until they both get tired and end up joining Dalma and Pretty Scar in watching the two main parties fight.

Lady Hock (Hook) 🪝

In Jack's defense, Hock had been wanting to knock Apple down a peg these last few rounds, so him throwing the pillow at Apple was pretty cathartic.

Being a pirate and all, Hock knows practically every card game in existence. But even with all of that experience, Apple was still a few points ahead of her, and she would NOT let that slide.

Now, in fairness, it was interesting seeing this side of Apple. He hasn't been nearly as cold and aloof as he has been when she first met him. He's changed, not a whole lot, but quite a bit.

And he wasn't all bad during the card game. He noticed that Veil had trouble understanding how it worked and actually helped her. That was different!

But, if there's one thing that Hock's learned about Apple, it's that once Apple wins at something, he gets smug. Insanely smug. Not the incredibly boastful type like Malfi, but quietly smug. And with an annoying smirk to go with it.

Oh, it's on now, pretty boy.

Hock takes the first pillow bashes on Apple before turning on Jack. She still hadn't won the game yet, dude! You brought this on yourself!

After a while, she starts bashing everyone else. She's very acrobatic, so it makes it more fun to watch her duck and avoid the pillows being thrown at her.

You go, girl!

Ms. Hades 🔥

She honestly should've expected this..

The peace was nice while it lasted, at least.

MH hangs back to watch all of them, not wanting to partake in such childish antics.

Really, Apple and Jack couldn't let go of their pride and boyish behavior just this one night?

Oh, just wonderful! Now they've got the rest of them acting like animals! Terrific!

ONE. NORMAL. NIGHT. was all she asked for when she agreed to this slumber party idea! But noooo! MH could never be so lucky! Ugh! Now those pillow feathers will scatter all over the pla-!

-wait. They're not really fighting, are they?

They're...playing. They're playing. Huh. Well, that's...unexpected.

MH will admit, in the time that she's known them all, she'd always assumed that they'd never get along with one another. They were simply too different. Heck, why else would the gods and goddess on Olympus not care for any deities of the Underworld? They were all too dissimilar in personality and background to ever get along.

And yet, here they are. Fighting still, yes, but not seriously. They were playing. Playing.

Heh, bless the Fates.

Ms. Hades joins Veil and Hock before settling down with them and watching the rest of the teams "battle."

You know? Maybe this sleepover thing wasn't such a bad idea after all.

The night ended with tossed pillows on the ground, feathers everywhere, and a movie playing static on the TV as the gang fell asleep.

weird flex but ok i guess pt.21

War… Hold up, do we really need a warning for this one? Dunno, but however, watch out for slightly disturbing and kinda…disgusting imagery, trypophobic patterns, as well as ‘necrotic’ designs I made while having funky fever bc o h m y g o d do I get a little crazier every new quarantine day (and at this point it’s coming to be an usual thing for me, big sad). However, most are made no other than for the sole sake of satire, so y’know, no need to get your underwear in a twist

Friday Night Funkin’ BoyFriend’s Hood – AU fanconcept sketches [XIX]

Short storytelling sketchdump wooo

Mostly a continuance on where I left in the old comic thingy

Ahem

1.- BoyFriend and GirlFriend casually chatting

Everyday life, right guys-

This reminds me of those days when I was a kid and my neighbor friends came up to my door’s house (since my mom didn’t want them coming inside) and we’d chat and do stuff, y’know, kids fun

Good times

2.- BoyFriend and GirlFriend in the limo

Ayo watch out there boy, better not let any of the Dearests see you in there

Also watch it with the plushie, he does the chomp to strange hoomans

3.-The can dilemma

Silly disagreement situation just for the sake of testing BF’s and GF’s relationship wowow

And yea I did a funny meatboy reference, hang me up

4.- BF breaks the dilemma

Quite a 200 iq big brain move for a 9 y/old, clap clap

5.- Oh boy buddy boy

>When you get first-kissed from your yet-to-be crush

She went u3u

And he went Ö

6.- BF and GF share together – BF’s skate skills

Yo look at that underneath printing

7.- BF and GF share together – GF’s puppets

>The puppets are basically eldritch-like demons

>Lil B is just chilling with it

Balls of steel right there

8.- BF and GF share together – BF’s comics

Go figure what they’re reading, I got no ideas for it to be honest

9.- Friendship bracelets

The cliché is real lol

But even if it’s cliché, I still think it’s pretty cute in a way

— strawberry kisses

feral boys x gn! reader || headcanon

genre : fluff

warnings : swearing

summary : their reaction to you giving them a kiss on the cheek for the first time!

a/n : hi hi! this is my first fic, i hope you like it 🥺 and i'm so sorry if there's any mistake, i'll try fixing them asap!

song to listen to while reading :

; DREAM

this man right here is VERY careful with you

always asking for consent before any physical contact with you (consent is always the key!)

he was so happy when you said that you were fine with cuddles and hugs with him! be ready for tight back hugs from him 'cause he loves putting his head on the crook of your neck >:)

but kisses... you were a bit shy about it since you were new to this type of relationship and you wanted to learn a bit first,

you told him about wanting to take things slowly and get used to it first, and of course he understands! dream will 100% respect your boundaries

he will wait patiently until you're comfortable enough with him because he loves you so much and he wants you to see him as a safe, comfort place :)

then one day when the two of you were baking cookies for valentines day, dream jokingly asked you to kiss him on the cheek as a thank you for helping you with the cookies

i mean, it's almost valentines anyways. a small, innocent kiss wouldn't hurt right? ö

you just giggled and gently leaned your face closer to his cheek, your fingers softly bringing his chin closer to you

you gently placed a kiss on his cheek, then quickly turning away from him with a wide smile

congratulations, you have successfully broke dream

man would be frozen on the place for a full minute, trying to process what just happened and is this real or not (because if it's not real he'd cry on the floor)

expect him to cling on you and not letting you go for the next few hours, calling you with sweet names like baby, hun, etc. for no reason and just be all lovey dovey with you ♡

he would secretly mark the date on his phone's calendar just for this special day where you kissed him for the first time HHAHSJDKSKD

if you were comfortable, he would offer you a kiss on your cheek to return the favor 🥺

and if you said yes, AAAAAAAA he would be so fucking happy, his serotonin level would just go through the roof like 📈📈

and ofc, he would happily give you a sweet kiss on your cheek! ( ˙ᵕ˙ )♡

; GEORGE

george is definitely very shy with you at first

he's VERY careful around you and treat you with so much care 🥺

( but once the two of you have gotten pretty used to each other, you guys bully each other 24/7 💀💀 (jokingly ofc!) )

at first, you thought george didn't like physical affections like kisses, hugs, etc.

boy you were wrong

this cat boy secretly LOVES physical affections from you, but he just hides it from you! and of couse, you love giving them to him too :)

but you were a little bit shy about kisses, and same goes to him. two shy cuties !!

if he was being honest : he wants to squish your cheeks and shower you with kisses, but he respects your boundaries and will wait until you're ready to take a step further! (( and he's really shy, he would also need time to get the courage to do it :D ))

then one day george has just finished recording for minecraft manhunt and boy, that block game can actually make you tired

the moment he's done with the recording, he immediately rushed to the bed and plop himself next to you

you would ask him things like how did the recording went, etc. and he'll answer you while letting you play with his soft hair 🥺

george was feeling a little playful, so he joked and asked you to give him a kiss on the cheek to recharge his energy

you looked at him with your cheeks slightly reddened. george has been working hard lately anyways, he deserves a gift, right?

you slowly bought your face closer to his cheek and planted a quick kiss on his cheek before looking away then melt into a puddle

georgenotfound who? i only know georgenotworking

his eyes would be widened, face red, and he would just sit there with his palm on the cheek where you planted the kiss on

it's been 3 minutes and his face is still red, huge grin on his face while hugging you tightly

he won't even try to hide the fact that he loves being affectionate with you anymore

it's the first time george has ever been clingy with you and you're living for it tbh 🥺

he'd ask you if you want a kiss too, in such a shy manner like "i can... give you... a kiss too... if you want... 👉👈"

if you say yes ? MMMMMMMMMM the two of you melt into a puddle together <33

he'll give you a quick but sweet kiss on your cheek with his face redder than before (,,．．„ )

; SAPNAP

man seems like he would fight you no matter what size you are

but in reality? sapnap's the sweetest and the clingiest (in a positive way, ofc!) man you've ever been with and you're so into this

he LOVES being affectionate and clingy with you, in fact he does it all the time. it's just how he is with you :)

he also LOVES giving you affection. he doesn't care about who's giving and who's receiving tbh, he just loves being around you in general 👉👈

you love his affection and giving him affection too, of course!! but you were a bit shy since this was your first romantic relationship with someone and kissing was a new thing to you

sapnap would tease you for being so shy around him, endlessly flirting with you just to see you all flustered, because in his eyes? you're so fucking adorable and that's a fact. ♡

despite him being all playful and flirty with you, he respects your boundaries and will 100% wait until you're ready!

of course he wants kiss you right on the spot but he can wait patiently, just for you <3

then one day, he was playfully flirting with you as usual

and he jokingly said "hey y/n, i think i deserve a kiss on the cheek for being cute!" well, you couldn't disagree with what he just said 👀

so you put on a large grin and placed a kiss on his cheek, immediately turning red afterwards

sapnap's the new pogchamp emote now

he would be so surprised and just turn into a ball of absolute joy

he'd immediately scoop you closer to him, hugging you tightly while giggling and just— shower you with lots of love 🥺

and trust me, he won't let go of you unless it's emergency or if you were uncomfortable

but if you were fine with it? this man will hold you like his life depends on it

he would also give you kisses on your cheek / the top of your head if you were comfortable enough :)

and if you did allowed him to kiss you? he'll immediately shower you with kisses and calling you his in between the kisses, like "you're mine, mine, mine" 👉👈

; QUACKITY

alex, he's such a flirty mf 😳

endlessly teasing you and flirting with you just to see you being flustered, just like sapnap

he'd call you with sweet spanish nicknames like mi amor, hermosa, etc. and you find them cute, honestly 🥺

he's really clingy with you (in a good way!) and always hugs you whenever he sees you. it's almost like an instinct to him when he sees you :) but you don't mind since you're living for his warm hugs and cuddles ♡

he LOVES the way you melt under his hugs, and honestly? he wants to cover your whole face with kisses but he knew you were new into dating and want to take things slowly, so he respects your boundaries! :))

one day, he was in a discord call with his friends and they were endlessly teasing him; which leads him to fake crying as a joke and asked you to give him a kiss on the cheek to make him stop crying

man, alex is so fucking adorable and you thought that he deserves a reward for being such a cutie

so you giggled and moved closer to him, slightly bending down to get to his level and placed a kiss on his cheek before turning away with a large grin on your face.

you know that one time karl jokingly leaned in to kiss alex? yeah, he has the exact same expression now

this man would stare blankly at you, his cheeks slightly red but then a few seconds later he's screaming in absolute joy

his friends would be so confused, asking him if he was alright but instead of answering them, he mutes the call and immediately clings his arms around your neck

"mi amor, you should do that more often if you're okay with it ;)"

100% endlessly flirting with you while hugging you tightly, melting you into a puddle ( bonus point if you knew spanish, cause he'd say cheesy pick up lines in spanish for you ;) )

and just like sapnap, he'd shower you with sweet kisses on your face if you were fine with it!

and if you were okay with him kissing you? man... you know that one vine where a kid is crying because of how cute her puppy is? yeah that's alex quackity @ your existence

he'd just be so happy and shower you with kisses, praising you, telling you how adorable you are, and telling you that you're his and he loves you so fucking much 🥺

; KARLJACOBS

karl jacobs is the definition of wholesome itself

he's literally the sweetest human being you've ever met, you can almost taste cotton candies when you're with him

he's really affectionate and loving towards you, always praising you whenever he's hugging you and holding you close to him! and of course, we can't forget the sweet nicknames he have for you. he just loves giving you so much affection, and you're in for it! 🥺

don't forget his playful side too! he would always joke around with you and maybe be flirty when he's feeling extra playful :) he can go from sending you wholesome memes to weird cursed images, no in between

but you were a little bit shy since you were new in this type of relationship. you told karl that you wanted to learn more first before jumping into more romantic gestures, including kisses.

of course this boy would go "okay! :)" and shower you with gestures you're comfortable with instead (hugs, cuddles, etc.) he wants you to feel comfortable around him, so he respects your boundaries! ♡

then one day when the two of you were cuddling on the couch while watching adventure time, karl jokingly asked what if you gave him a kiss on the cheek like marceline did to bubblegum

and you thought karl has been so sweet with you this whole time. you gotta return the favor to him, right?

so you just displayed a shy smile, leaning closer to him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before you slowly melt in his arms

his eyes widened and he just wants to scream the way puppycat did

he'd immediately bring you closer to his body and mutter out uncountable i love you's, calling you perfect, sweet, etc. just praising you and being all giggly with you. of course he would be so giggly, you just gave him a kiss!!! 🥺👉👈

he would LOVE to return the favor to you, if you're fine with it!

and if you said yes? places such a sweet kiss on your face and just admire you with his starry eyes 🥺

JNNGGHHH SO MUCH SEROTONIN THIS RELATIONSHIP IS JUST 50% WHOLESOME AND 50% WHOLESOME BUT IN RED

hey, is it possible for you to make a tiny little glossary of icelandic words for queer terminology, like for basic words for sexualities and genders maybe? i looked online but couldn't find anything much helpful

Sure. I'm cishet disclaimer, yada yada.

General

hinsegin - queer, literally "the other way around". Unlike the English queer, there is not to my knowledge any discourse about hinsegin; it's just the umbrella term and everyone happily uses it. Reykjavík Pride is officially called "Hinsegin dagar".

Gender

kyn - the traditional word for gender/sex (including grammatically)

kyngervi - neologism for social gender specifically as opposed to biological sex or grammatical gender; kyn is usually used when discussing gender, but kyngervi helps if you want to avoid ambiguity

kynvitund - gender identity

kyntjáning - gender expression

sískynja - cisgender

trans - transgender

kynsegin - genderqueer/nonbinary (literally just a portmanteau of "kyn" and "hinsegin")

frjálsgerva - alternate term for nonbinary, literally "free gender"

eigerva/ógerva - agender; ó- is the usual "non-"/"un-" sort of prefix, whereas ei means not and is coincidentally pronounced like the a in agender

tvígerva - bigender

algerva - pangender

flæðigerva - genderfluid

dulkynja/vífguma - androgynous (dulkynja is literally "hidden gender", vífguma is derived from the old words víf and gumi meaning woman and man respectively)

hán - neuter third-person personal pronoun, declined hán/hán/háni/háns

kvár - neuter equivalent of man/woman, declined kvár/kvár/kvári/kvárs

stálp - neuter equivalent of boy/girl, declined stálp/stálp/stálpi/stálps

bur - neuter equivalent of son/daughter, declined bur/bur/buri/burs

Orientation

(Note: I'm not aware of Icelandic having recognized separate terms for romantic orientation, in general - I use the -sexual suffix in the translations here because those terms are used more broadly in popular usage, but the Icelandic terms are not necessarily by their nature specific to sexual rather than romantic orientation. -kynhneigð literally just means "-gender-orientation". The website "Hinsegin frá Ö til A", which explains LGBTQIA+ topics in Icelandic, merely suggests in a sidebar that the romantic orientation terms haven't been translated but you could substitute "rómantískur" for "kynhneigður" in the sexual orientation words, for a direct equivalent to the English. Personally, if I were translating these terms I'd want to go for something else, but it's obviously not exactly up to me what the community settles on! For all I know the aspec community in Iceland has pretty much settled on something but it hasn't entered the mainstream enough for me to have heard of it.)

gagnkynhneigð - heterosexuality

samkynhneigð - homosexuality

hýr - used to mean joyful, similar to the word "gay"; now means gay, and gets used in a broader umbrella sort of way sometimes too - Samtökin '78 had a neologism competition for queer vocabulary and called it Hýryrði or "gay words". Not used nearly as often as gay in English, though - mostly people say samkynhneigður, which as a result doesn't sound nearly as clinical as "homosexual".

tvíkynhneigð - bisexuality

pankynhneigð - pansexuality

eikynhneigð - asexuality

The adjective forms of the -kynhneigð words are -kynhneigður in the masculine, -kynhneigð in the feminine, and -kynhneigt in the neuter. hýr is the same in the masculine and feminine but hýrt in the neuter.

Poly

fjölástir - polyamory

fjölkær - polyamorous

Hiii could I request some domestic fluff with either soobin or yeonjun? Just fluff ^^ thanks

｡+ﾟ𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 ｡+

Yeonjun thinks his kisses are sweeter than your strawberry milk… and you can agree.

=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●

Pairing: Yeonjun x Reader (gender-neutral)

Genre: Just 500 cups of fluff for this one !!

Warnings: Like, maybe 2 sprinkles of suggestive in this one ? 😳😳

(I wrote this for Yeonjun since I’m whipped wbk, but i’ve been writing a lot of angst for him lately !! I wanted to tone it down with some fluff so I hope you like this request ! I think i’m burning out so like... this was short and sweet, i thought i could do better)

=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●

Yeonjun planned that it was going to be a lazy Tuesday with the both of you entangled in his white sheets until you got up. Instead of chasing you down the stairs since you teased him about going back to bed, he went to the dim bathroom in the other room to take a lengthy shower.

Sipping on a a bit of the boxed strawberry milk from the eight pack that Yeonjun bought you the other day, you decided to set two plates on the table for breakfast. When you felt a pair of warm arms wrap softly around your waist, you were startled from how abrupt it was.

“I thought you were going to go back to sleep...?” You continued to place a few pancakes on your plate, ignoring the words of Yeonjun who said that he took a shower after you left.

The boy realized that you weren’t listening when he called your name several times. You were more focused on getting breakfast done, and since he’s stubborn on getting your attention, he had to think of an idea.

In a few seconds he did, smirking and aware that you would surely be embarrassed after it.

While you were sipping on the same box of strawberry milk, suddenly Yeonjun gently grabbed your cheeks, his thumb delicately rubbing on the tip of your lips. You dropped the drink in shock, knowing that you were in deep trouble for ignoring him to make breakfast. Although your thoughts soon drifted when he captured your lips with his own.

He kept smiling into the kiss, loving how easily you submitted to him as soon as you felt him kiss you.

“You taste just like strawberry milk~ So sweet and pretty, how could I not want more?”

He started to lean down again, and you closed your eyes so you could feel his lips press against yours- only to find that he pulled away at the last second. You pouted and went on your tippy toes since he was taller than you, but still he kept jumping up, knowing that you couldn’t reach him that far up. Seemingly teasing you like what you did earlier, he mischievously winked before adjusting the snow white towel draped around his waist.

“Though I guess you could say that my kisses are sweeter than that darn milk that you adore.”

“H-hey, put some clothes on!”

=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●=。:..ﾟ●ö:.｡+ﾟ●

Who was Kaspar Hauser? Mysterious Boy Died in a Mysterious Way

April 1, 2021

On May 26, 1828 a strange teenage boy showed up in the streets of Nuremberg, Germany with a letter addressed to the Captain von Wessenig, captain of the 4th squadron of the 6th cavalry regiment. The writer of this letter was anonymous but they claimed they had been the caretaker of this teenage boy who went by the name of Kaspar Hauser.

The anonymous letter writing claimed Kaspar had been brought into their custody on October 7, 1812 as an infant and that this caretaker had taught the boy how to read and write. The letter also went on to say that Kaspar was not allowed to step foot outside of the caretaker’s home, and that he had been raised in a darkened cell with no sunlight and only bread and water to eat and drink.

The letter also said that Kaspar was now here to become a “cavalryman like his father” and the Captain von Wessenig could either take the offer or kill the boy by hanging if he was of no use to him.

The boy known as Kaspar was also carrying another short letter with him that was supposedly written by his mother. The letter contained personal information about the boy such as his date of birth which was April 30, 1812 and that his father was a cavalryman of the 6th regiment but was now dead. The two letters (the one from this boys supposed caretaker and the one from his mother) were written by the same hand which people later suggested was because Kaspar had written both of these letters himself.

Kaspar Hauser was taken to the captain but they could not seem to get much information out of him so he was then taken to the police station where he wrote down his name. The strange boy was able to say a few prayers and could read a little bit but his vocabulary seemed limited and he wouldn’t answer very many questions. He was then imprisoned as a vagabond because no one knew what to do with him.

For the next two months Kaspar stayed in Luginsland Tower in Nuremberg Castle and was taken care of by a jailer named Andreas Hiltel. The boy was apparently in pretty good physical condition and could walk quite well, as well as having a pretty healthy facial complexion. This does not make much sense however if the boy was locked up in a darkened cell his whole life receiving no sunlight and eating very little.

According to Kaspar himself he had been in solitary confinement his whole life and appeared to be 16 years old. He said he had a straw bed to sleep on and only had a few wooded toys to play with. Kaspar also claimed each morning he awoke to bread and water next to his bed though he said sometimes the water would taste bitter and when he would drink this bitter water he would always have deeper sleeps. Is it possible someone was trying to drug him?

Kaspar also claimed occasionally he would wake up and his straw would be changed and replaced and his hair and nails would also be cut. Is it possible whoever was taking care of him was giving him drugs while they cut his hair and nails to keep their identity a secret?

Kaspar said the first time he met another individual was a man who had come to visit him right before he was released. The man apparently hid his face from Kaspar quite well and taught him how to write his own name. After learning how to stand and walk Kaspar was taken to Nuremberg.

This story became quite the talk of the town and Kaspar Hauser received a lot of attention for being this mysterious boy with a mysterious origin story. Rumours began to spread with some believing he was an imposter who had made the whole story up and others believing he was royalty, perhaps the prince of Baden.

Here’s where things start to become even stranger. Kaspar was given to a man named Friedrich Daumer who was a schoolmaster and philosopher. He taugh Kaspar various subjects. On October 17, 1829 Kaspar did not show up to lunch and was found in the cellar of Daumer’s house with a wound on his forehead.

Kaspar claimed he had been attacked by a hooded man who threatened him. Kaspar said he recognized the man’s voice as being the man who had visited him in his cell and brought him to Nuremberg. Some believe that Kaspar had self-inflicted this wound himself to either get pity or to escape Daumer who he had recently gotten in a fight with other Daumer thinking Kaspar had a tendency to lie.

Kaspar was then sent to live with a man named Johann Biberbach. On April 3, 1830 Kaspar was found in his room at Biberbach’s house with a pistol wound to the right side of his head. Kaspar claimed he was standing a chair in order to reach some books and the chair fell, leading him to try to grab something to catch on to. The item he had grabbed onto was the pistol hanging on the wall and this fall caused it to go off. Again, some believe this was Kaspar’s way of getting out of repercussions from Johann Biberbach about lying.

In May of 1830 Kaspar was transferred to live at the house of Baron von Tucher. Kaspar was also known to lie while living here. Then Lord Stanhope, a British nobleman who took an interest in Kaspar and gained custody of him in late 1831. Lord Stanhope spent quite a lot of money trying to find Kaspar’s origin, he even took him to Hungary twice hoping that the boy would recognize something from his past as Kaspar apparently knew a few Hungarian words and once claimed his mother to be the Hungarian Countess Maytheny.

Lord Stanhope later said that he started to doubt Kaspar when he couldn’t seem to recognize anything about his past in Hungary. In December 1831 Lord Stanhope transferred Kaspar to live in Ansbach with a schoolmaster named Johann Georg Meyer and in January 1832 Stanhope left Kaspar for good. At one point Lord Stanhope had promised Kaspar he would take him to England, but never did, though he continued to pay for Kaspar’s living expenses.

Johann Meyer was a strict man and soon became tired of Kaspar’s excuses and supposed lies. Kaspar soon became unhappy with his situation while still hoping that Lord Stanhope was going to take him to England. On December 9, 1833 Kaspar had gotten into a pretty serious argument with Meyer.

On December 14, 1833 Kaspar had returned home with a deep wound in his left breast. He claimed he had been lured into the Ansbach Court Garden where a stranger stabbed him while giving him a bag. The police found a small violet purse at the scene which had a note that said,

“Hauser will be able to tell you quite precisely how I look and from where I am. To save Hauser the effort, I want to tell you myself from where I come _ _ . I come from from _ _ _ the Bavarian border _ _ On the river _ _ _ _ _ I will even tell you the name: M. L. Ö.”

Kaspar died from the wound three days later on December 17, 1833. A lot of people speculate that Kaspar Hauser had attacked himself and made up the story about a stranger stabbing him. Many believe this because the note contained a lot of spelling mistakes which was typical for Kaspar. He also was very eager for the police to find this bag containing the note at the scene but had never asked what was in the bag. The note was folded in a specific way which Mrs. Meyer said was how Kaspar always folded his notes. Many believe that Kaspar stabbed himself in an attempt to gain more attention from the public and to convince Lord Stanhope to take him to England. It is thought that Kaspar did not mean to injury himself as deeply as he had.

Kaspar Hauser was buried in the Stadtfriedhof cemetery in Ansbach where his headstone reads in Latin,

“Here lies Kaspar Hauser, riddle of his time. His birth was unknown, his death mysterious. 1833.”

A lot of people speculated as mentioned before that Kaspar Hauser could have been the hereditary prince of Baden who had been born on September 29th, 1812, 5 months after Kaspar’s supposed birth date. According to history the prince had died on October 16, 1812, not even being a month old and it was alleged that he had been switched with a dying infant who turned out to be Kaspar Hauser. Some believe Hauser had been murdered to hide his true identity as the prince as he would of been kidnapped by Countess Hochberg whose motive would have been to secure the succession for her sons.

To this day, no one knows the true origin of Kaspar Hauser or whether he was murdered or stabbed himself.

could I get pomerate and earl grey tea with mitsuba please?

hI YES BB OF COURSE,, IM SORRY IF THIS ASS AND SORRY FOR THE WAIT LOVE U BTW

Mitsuba - Pomegranate And Earl Grey Tea

pomegranate tea; at what point did they know they loved their s/o?

You sat in front of him in your mathematics class, and he tapped you on your shoulder, beckoning for your attention.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Mitsuba Sousuke, I hope we can be friends as we’ll be sitting in name order for a while.”

You looked the pink haired boy up and down, and hesitantly placed your hand in his. His hands were warm and soft to the touch, no calluses like you’d expect from a boy. And this Mitsuba boy was quite cute too, but something about his personality made you feel like you’ve been deceived somehow. You meekly nodded in acceptance and an almost sickenly sweet smile appeared on the boy’s features.

The bell rang and everyone quickly filed out of the classroom for lunch. You stood on your tippy-toes to try and find a puff of pink hair blending in with the other students. You didn’t have a wide variety of friends yourself, and the boy did intrigue you (plus he was cute) so perhaps he wouldn’t mind if you got to know him better? He did ask if you two could be friends so it was like you were intruding, right?

Hastily grabbing your wrapped bento, you hurried after the boy, following his bright pink look he sported so you wouldn’t get separated. Curiously you trailed behind, trying not to look like a stalker, until you realized you were already at the roof. It was a nice day, the cool breeze gently flowed against your body, making your hair sway. Mitsuba sat down, his back against the wall, as he tinkered with something in his lap. A camera.

Apparently you’d been staring too long because he noticed you and his shoulders jumped. Ah shit, now you had to explain yourself before you looked like a creep.

“W-why hello there Mitsuba-kun! Nice day we’re having, right!?” you asked, smoothing out the wrinkles on your clothing, trying not to look at him. You could feel his eyes boring into you.

“Anyway, I just wanted to see if we could maybe spend our lunch time together? After all you did say you would like to be friends with me right? See, I even got my bento ready here and everything-” you paused midway, glancing at his face for any reaction. He was biting his lip, as if he was trying to hold himself back from saying something.

“Y’know, Mitsuba-kun, is something bothering you? In class today, your smile didn’t look quite right if you ask me. Almost as if it was forced-” you stopped as you heard a soft voice.

“Hmm? Repeat that, Mitsuba-kun?”

“Shut up, you squeaky voice having ass.”

You froze almost comically, processing what Mitsuba said.

“Have you been breathing in too much helium?! Because your voice certainly is squeakier than a rubber duck!”

You were speechless. Mitsuba rose.

“You stalker! Crazy! Dumbass! Because I’m so cute, you want to befriend me only to threaten to spread fake rumors about me! Just because I’m so adorable, doesn’t mean you can have your way with me!” Mitsuba panted after his outburst, sending a glare to you.

(Your face was like ö)

Your mouth was open and eyes widened. Well, looks like you’ve discovered the real Mitsuba Sousuke!

“Hmpt! And the stalker isn’t gonna say a word-”

You burst out laughing, trying to contain your loud guffaws as you grabbed the sides of your stomach, walking over to the cocky boy. He stepped back, his sleeve covering his mouth as he watched you in disdain and a hint of surprise that you were actually still here.

You slid down the wall and patted the space next to you, as you tried to control your chuckles.

“I didn’t expect that from someone like you, Mitsuba-kun! But I think I like the real you better than the fake one, ya know. Come sit here.”

Mitsuba hesitantly inched towards you, and sat down quite far from you. You pouted, sliding over until you bumped shoulders to him.

“You don’t need to be so cold, Mitsuba-kun! I want to be your friend and get to know you. I’m sure you can get those words through that cute head of yours,” you giggled, fluttering your lashes.

Mitsuba froze. Your face was so close to his. He could see your pretty features, long lashes, plush lips, blushy cheeks. (Not cuter than his of course.)

“G-get away from me, you pervert!”

That is how you got to know Mitsuba. And that is how Mitsuba got to know you, (Name) (Last Name), the seemingly crazy person who became his friend despite knowing his cocky attitude. The person who didn’t make fun of him and rather refuted his insults.

Mitsuba could feel his hopes rise, just a bit. Perhaps… just maybe, this year wouldn’t be lonely after all. For once, he couldn’t wait to see you again.

The next day when you came to school, Mitsuba wasn’t there, and the classroom was filled with whispers.

“Did you hear? The Sousuke boy died in an accident yesterday.”

Your heart stopped, as you froze. How? You had spoken with him only yesterday. How could he just disappear, slip away from your fingers like this? What’s more, you felt as if there was a pit deep in your stomach. You had only known Mitsuba for a day, no, a few hours at best, yet you felt such emptiness.

You would never see Mitsuba again.

Or so you’d thought.

–

A few days later, you were walking to the middle school entrance to change your shoes. You had arrived early like you usually did. Mitsuba was still lingering in your thoughts., as you absentmindedly opened your locker to switch your shoes. You switched your shoe as you let out a huff.

A hand grabbed onto your forearm, and you looked up to see who the hell would touch you like that without permission. The hand was cold as if it was a dead person’s hand.

“Hey…”

You used your other hand to close the locker door shut, as it was blocking this mysterious person’s face. If it wasn’t for the hand holding you up, you would have fallen down when you saw the face.

“Did you forget abou-”

“M-MITSUBA-KUN?!” you exclaimed, and immediately the arm retracted from you. The boy looked up and you could see his hands now covering his ears, and an annoyed look on his face.

“Hmph, scream louder won’t you-” Mitsuba was cut off as you jumped on him, tumbling to the floor as his back his the ground.

“Oi, you pervert! Trying to take advantage of my cute self just because I’m dead, I didn’t know you were so-” he faltered when he felt a warm liquid soaking into his sweater. You gripped the clothing tighter.

“Mitsuba-kun… how can it be you? You’re… dead.”

“…You’re making my clothes wet, (Name).” The normally cocky boy couldn’t bring himself to raise his voice. Your warm body on his cold one made him feel almost human again, your warmth seeping into his.

“Mitsuba-kun, we have to catch up on everything!”

Mitsuba’s heart panged. You still wanted to talk to him even though he was dead. You barely even questioned the fact that you can talk to him even though he’s literally a ghost.

“Y-yea. Maybe try putting on your shoes first idiot.”

After that, you and Mitsuba got quite close after that. Mitsuba was surprised when you still wanted to be his friend even though you’d only knew him for a few hours, and was quite frankly rude to you (he’s rude to everyone though.) Despite his real personality, you didn’t shun him, rather you sought him out. He didn’t voice these thoughts, however, deep down it felt good to have a friend. It felt good to have someone who finally accepted how he really was. Mitsuba still continued with his usual berating, and you took it with a grin and a few quips of your own. His heart began to pound against his chest, and sooner or later he couldn’t bring himself to say anything too hurtful. Why though? He never had a problem saying exactly what he thought before. But deep down he knew why.

He loved you. And he didn’t want to say anything too bitchy because he was afraid. Afraid that you’d leave him for being too mean or something else. Damn these feelings… and damn you for making him feel these things he didn’t want. He would probably try to avoid you just so he could keep his mouth under control.

It’s up to you to do something now if you truly love him. (And if you don’t love this boy, what are you even doing???)

earl grey tea; how did they court their s/o?

Mitsuba is way too tsundere to ask you out directly. Bringing up the topic of love and romance just ends in him bullying you for not having a partner yet, and if you’d tried to get someone else’s attention he would probably laugh at you. Of course, secretly he’s glad no one has taken you yet because he wants you all for himself. He’s never going to say those words out loud though. If you love Mitsuba, then you are going to have to take matters into your own hands because this boy cannot do fluffy romance to save his life.

If Mitsuba really loves you, then he’s bound to take photos of you! Whether it’s you gazing out the classroom window or your frustrated face as you chew on your pencil to try and figure out some math questions. Or perhaps your cute sleeping face as you rest on his shoulder. He would always take these pictures when you’re not looking. After all, he once told you that he takes pictures of things that are important to him… and well, you’re never going to let him live it down if you caught him taking a photo of you. He could already hear your teasing voice already.

But you really were important to him. Probably the most important person he’s ever met. You are the person he loves after all.

You are the only person Mitsuba would ever let touch his camera (besides Kou but shhh.) That’s just how much he trusts you. Of course, whenever you ask him to let you hold it, he’ll always act annoyed and begrudgingly place it in your hands but he’s actually quite happy you are interested in photography. Photography is an escape for him, and the only way he can express his feelings for you without sounding like a lovesick fool.

He usually leaves his camera in the photography room so the photos (of you) he took can develop. He never tells you where his camera is though because he doesn’t want you to see that he took photos of you. Let’s just say you were wandering the school one day and stumbled upon the Photography Club. Perhaps some of Mitsuba’s belongings were still here! You entered the room, taking a good look around the room when something caught your eye.

Mitsuba’s camera.

You know it so well because Mitsuba is always holding it. Tippy toeing over to it, you peered at it and raised an eyebrow at the pictures scattered around it. Carefully holding them up, you tried to make out what it was. Many were still black as they didn’t develop yet, however, there were a few that had color in them. Squinting, you furrowed your eyebrows at what you saw.

It was you. You were in the photo.

Well, damn. Mitsuba thought you were good enough to take not one, but a ton of photos of. You weren’t sure whether to be happy or scared. But you were sure of one thing.

You were finally going to confess to Mitsuba Sousuke.

It was after school, with just a few students and teachers left in the building. You met Mitsuba on the rooftop like usual, the red and orange colors swirling around in the sky, as the sun began to dip. He was standing there as always, tinkering with his camera. He glanced at you.

“(Name-)”

“MITSUBA-KUN!!!!”

You ran up to him and firmly grabbed his shoulders, looking straight into his pink eyes, as Mitsuba let out a scream.

“You molester! Pervert! Release me immediately!”

“Mitsuba-kun! I like you a lot, okay?! You might be rude and cocky sometimes- well no, most of the time, but I like that part of you! You’re a camera geek, but I think that’s a cute part of you! And even though you can be really mean for no reason, I still love you! I have for a long, long time!”

Your chest heaved as you panted from your outburst. You hang your head, scared to see what Mitsuba’s expression was as you squeezed his shoulders a bit harder.

Mitsuba was a blushing mess. His face was redder than his hair and his words were stuck in his throat. For once, he couldn’t say anything as he just stared at you.

“It’s fine if you don’t feel the same. I just wanted to tell you, Mitsuba-kun,” you said, your shoulders slumping as you didn’t hear a response, tearing your hands away from the boy, beginning to shuffle away.

Mitsuba’s mouth tried to form words as he grabbed the sleeve of your arm.

“Idiot…” Damn it, of course that was the only word he could say!

“Mitsuba-kun, you don’t need to make fun of me for this too-”

“That’s not what I mean!” he huffed. “I’m trying to say that I like you as well… dummy.”

You raised your eyebrows as a delighted grin appeared on your face. Without warning, you launched yourself into Mitsuba’s chest, wrapping your arms around him.

“You do? Oh yes, you do! I love you too, Mitsu-kun!”

“G-get off of me! And don’t call me that!”

A genuine smile formed on his face, reluctantly snaking his arms around your waist as well. He didn’t say it aloud, but he wished this would last forever.

–

Extra:

“I’m not surprised you fell madly in love with me, I am so cute after all!”

“Hey Mitsuba-kun? Can you tell me what these are?” *shows him the photos of you*

…

“You stalker! No regards for personal space and privacy, huh?! How dare you steal from me?!” *blushes*

It was nice to enjoy these simple times.

TLDR: mitsuba takes some nice ass pics of u, then u infiltrate his camera and find them and he's like ok fine i love u idiot

Today’s compilation:

Bravo: The Hits 99 1999 Pop / Europop / House / Eurohouse / Hip Hop / Eurorap / Eurodance / R&B / Pop-Rock

Came into this German and Swiss Now That's What I Call Music!-equivalent both wanting and expecting a trip down late 90s pop memory lane and also a bunch of awful Europop tunes, and that's pretty much exactly what I got. There's a lot of good German music out there, but then there's also a lot of bad German music out there. And my god, is a lot of it really bad. But some of these bad ones you just have to appreciate for how bad, weird, and gaudy they actually are, like the dark and operatic piece of Eurodance by E Nomine called "Vater Unser" and what has to be the worst German rap song ever made, "Titelgschicht" by Subzonic. There needs to be a version of the Razzies for music or something so that these awful songs can be awarded the ugly flowers that they so deserve.

Going to divide these highlights between good and/or fun nostalgia hits, genuinely good songs that I didn't know before I heard this comp, and songs that are so bad that they need to be heard to be believed.

Highlights:

Good and/or fun nostalgia hits:

Backstreet Boys - "Larger Than Life" Ricky Martin - "Livin' la vida loca" Britney Spears - "...Baby One More Time" 2Pac - "Changes" LeAnn Rimes - "How Do I Live" Sixpence None the Richer - "Kiss Me" Blondie - "Maria" Wamdue Project - "King of My Castle" Mr. Oizo - "Flat Beat" Bloodhound Gang - "The Bad Touch"

Good songs that I didn't know beforehand:

Echt - "Du trägst keine Liebe in Dir" Cha Cha - "New Millenium (What Cha Wanna Do)" Modern Talking - "You Are Not Alone" Texas - "Summer Son"

Songs that are so bad that they need to be heard in order to be believed:

Ö la Palöma Boys - "Ö la Palöma" E Nomine - "Vater Unser" Mark 'Oh vs. John Davies - "The Sparrows and the Nightingales" Subzonic - "Titelgschicht"

Okay not to get on a soapbox here but I have an opinion.

A lot of y’all have no idea how linguistics works and it shows.

I get that it’s important to call people by the name they want to be called by. I get that. I truly do. There is literally no reason not to put forth an effort. But sometimes, and here’s the kicker, it is impossible to say a name, particularly if that name has phonology that doesn’t exist in your native language.

Here’s a quick example, with a few notes to make my notation make sense. Putting things in < these boys > refers to orthographic representation, i.e., how something is spelled. Putting something in [ these boys ] represents the sound something makes. Putting something in / these boys / also refers to the sound something makes, but in a different way, and is honestly a distinction that doesn’t matter for most people so I’m just going to use [ these fellows here ] when talking about a specific sound and < these bros > for talking about how that sound is spelled and “quotations” for talking about a particular word. Okay.

I live in Germany, and I’m bilingual English-German. I have two first names. My first first name has a <th> in it; and this combination of letters in English are usually pronounced either as [ð] like <th> in “there” or [θ] like the <th> in “thank”. But [ ð, θ ] are not sounds native to the German language so the first one gets pronounced quite often as < z,d > and the second as < s, t > because since they don’t exist in German, a lot of people just... don’t know how to pronounce them. They go with something that’s pretty close. Even Germans who often have the hang of it, like my husband, sometimes mess up. Other Germans think they have the hang of it but they actually don’t and, because it’s not a native sound to German, they literally cannot hear the fucking difference when I point it out to them.

The same thing happens with the first of my two first names. Most people can’t pronounce the <th> in it correctly. It’s fine, because I go by the second of my two first names. There’s also a sound in that one that isn’t native to German.

Does it piss me off when people mispronounce that name? Nah. I know they don’t have that sound in their phonology, but at least that’s my called name. I do get pissed off when people call me by the wrong name.

But I’m a white person so I don’t have the same level of discrimination against me. There’s xenophobia here, sure, and I’ve been told to fuck off to my old country multiple times, but I’m still a white person with a relatively white person name.

Let’s look at another example though. Back when I was a teacher I had a student who had < ü > in their name, and it was pronounced [ y: ] (if you look up ‘ipa sound chart’ on google, you can click on it and hear the sound). That sound. Does not. Exist. In English. At least not for me, and it’s not native to my phonology (though I can’t speak for all varieties of English). Luckily I’m a linguist and I had a very cool professor explain to our class how to make that sound, so if I think about it, I can say it. I can also often say it without thinking about it. But not always. So as often as I would say this poor student’s name correctly, I would also occasionally get it wrong. The student would call me on it, and I’d apologize and make a conscious effort to say their name correctly, but sometimes I just... wouldn’t. Not because I wanted to be a douche, but because that sound doesn’t exist in my phonology natively.

((As an aside: You know what else I can’t say with any fucking accuracy? < ö >. If there’s an umlaut in the word, like < ä, ü, ö >, and another word that is exactly the same but doesn’t have the umlaut (e.g., “ausdrucken” and “ausdrücken”, or “fordern” and “fördern”), there’s a very real chance that I will not be able to hear the difference unless they are side by side, and I will confuse the meanings. Of that first set I know one is to print and the other is to pronounce (the irony!) but I literally cannot remember which is which. The other two are to demand and to promote or encourage (like to encourage a trait in somebody) but again, I have to look them up to know the difference.))

Okay, Zombie, so what are you saying with all this?

I’m saying that effort matters. I’m saying that yes, people should be allowed to have the name they want to have. I’m saying that yes, people should insist that people try to say their name correctly. I’m saying that yes, we shouldn’t deal with or allow people to just say “oh, that’s too difficult for me to say” or give for-them easy-to-pronounce nicknames. I am, however, saying that just because you personally are able to say a particular combination of sounds does not mean it is easy. Not everyone has the same phonology, i.e., inventory of speech sounds that they just know how to make. Even if there’s a set of sounds that can occur beside one another in a language, they may not occur in all positions in all words within a language. <mb> is hiding out in the middle of “trombone” but there’s a syllable boundary between the two so I can’t really expect a native English speaker to be able to correctly pronounce <mb> at the beginning of a word, not without some coaching, and even then it would be difficult because it doesn’t fucking work like that. I had a friend in university who, no matter how much I tried to explain it to her or how obvious I made the difference, couldn’t hear the difference between a vowel spoken as a diphthong and the same vowel spoken as a monophthong. She just couldn’t and it wasn’t her fault.

And I don’t expect people to be benevolent all the time. Ffs, I know that the sounds in my name don’t all exist in German and still on some days I get irritated because by the gods just drop your jaw a little it’s not that hard.

So yes, by all means, insist upon being called by the correct name, but for the love of language don’t throw well-meaning people who are actually fucking trying under the bus because they can’t pronounce something.

I love me a good deep singing voice and a part of me thinks the boys would too, like deep sultry voice and them Clone men go Ö

as an alto, this ask makes my day - my voice is pretty broad to be honest (meaning I can sing high and low) so being able to belt to a clone no matter where in my range it is.. that would literally be the highlight of my existence. I think some of them would think being able to sing that low in your register is sexy.

How would you fix the disappearance of Eric?

*pounds fists on table, chanting* New Power Eric NEW POWER ERIC

Ahem... okay, incredibly self-indulgent AU aside, how else would I try to fix this plot? I don’t immediately have a solid answer to that, seeing as W.i.t.c.h. canon is largely dead to me post-Ragorlang arc (though I’ll give myself the W.i.t.c.h. On Stage special, as a treat), but let’s see what I can come up with.

For the most part, I’m alright with Eric having moved away from Heatherfield - seeing as he was the new boy in town living with his grandpa and came in midway through the second arc, to me he always felt a bit more temporary. (It’s probably helped by him having such a strong connection to astronomy - he’s in orbit, never really grounded anywhere.) I mean, it utterly wounds my heart to see Hay’s devastation over losing him to long-distance (I think she’s the W.i.t.c.h. girl whose emotional lows get to me the most in both media), but they managed to work something out! Eric sends her a laptop with a webcam so they can easily stay in touch, and she gets to come for a visit later on, even though, yes, that visit is more of a plot point to kick off the arc someplace on Earth other than Heatherfield.

So we’d seen that it’s possible for them to work something out between them long-distance; I fail to see how this couldn’t have continued, or why we’d be given no explanation at all if it somehow no longer was possible. We got a whole special dedicated to why Cornelia and Caleb wouldn’t have worked out in the end, and yet not a word on HL x E’s sudden vanishing act of a relationship. They’re Schrödinger’s Ship - they could still be together or they could have broken up, we know exactly the same information to support either option, which is nada. (I’m blatantly ignoring that one later issue that has Hay crushing on a random rocker guy from afar, because that was Bad Writing.)

Which brings us to the fixing! Simply put, just let these two have their long-distance relationship dammit. (Or if not, tell us so.) I’ve always liked it when Earth action has moved outside of Heatherfield (i.e. Redstone, stopping by to see Kadma in Fadden Hills, beginning the Ragorlang arc in Open Hill, etc.) - to me, it always made the girls’ everyday world that much bigger, and I feel like that doesn’t usually happen with magical girl stories. So give us a bit more of Hay making a trip out to see Eric (without life-consuming shadow creatures this time), or Eric popping back into Heatherfield for a spell (because correct me if I’m wrong, but his grandpa still lives there? It’d be pretty simple for Eric to swing by and stay the summer with him, especially since his parents also seem to be the orbiting, never-really-held-down-anywhere type).

But let’s add some self-indulgence without me going full-on “Eric should have been the New Power guy”: I do think Eric should have been next to find out about the Guardians. It’s not as much of an apparent necessity as it was with comics Matt (because all that WxM back-and-forth for the first forty issues basically wrote the narrative into a hole where a Reveal needed to happen for things to have even a chance of working long-term. Which, to me in retrospect, cheapens the reveal a little bit). But again, Eric comes from an entire family of astronomers and has such a passion for space himself - can you imagine his utter excitement upon discovering the existence of life in dimensions beyond Earth? And his girlfriend, who he loves so much, is so integral to keeping those worlds safe and is even more powerful than he already knows she is? Listen, the boy would be a goner, and also just be immensely supportive.

I mean, just imagine Eric knowing: Hay can pop over to Open Hill just about any time she wants using transposition (yes, the Council might consider this misuse of the Guardians’ powers, but let’s also say that in this fix-it ‘verse there are more efforts for reform as Kandrakar finally starts listening to what Taranee’s been saying since the third arc and learning decades too late from everything that happened with the prior generation. They’ll give the girls this, because having outside support will help alleviate the burden of Guardianship). The two of them can go stargazing and Eric will point out their galaxy’s constellations while Hay does her best to point out the approximate locations of the other worlds she’s seen.

Just... Eric being so eager to learn everything he can. Eric being so proud of his girlfriend, who’s a literal force of nature yet kind and caring as a gentle summer’s breeze. Eric holding Hay and comforting her when things get a little too strained between the Guardians again after their latest mission or just everyday tensions.

And now think of Hay Lin, looking up the weather forecast in Open Hill and striking up a deal with the air so Eric and the Lyndons have a clear night sky when they have a family bonding stargazing evening. Hay sending Eric sweet little murmurings on the wind, or maybe getting it to playfully muss his hair.

Hay taking Eric flying one night, and watching his face light up in wonderment.

...Evidently, all my fix-it ideas for Eric involve him being clued in to the Guardian Secret in some way or another, and... yeah, yeah that checks out.

💗 + azul maybe? Ö [raihan-lovemail]

Who fell for the other first?

Delilah started to feel Something for Azul pretty early on... but was convinced that it couldn’t possibly be genuine affection. Boy did she quickly find out how wrong she was. Who said "I love you" first?

Going off that last answer, even once Delilah realized that these “feelings” were most likely romantic, she still refused to accept them. Azul, who went through a similar crisis, had an easier time coming to terms with his feelings and decided to tell her the magic words :) Let’s just say this led to her breaking point and whoops! She can’t be in denial anymore! Who is more affectionate in public/private?

Both of them enjoy simple acts of affection in public (just to make sure everyone is aware of their relationship), but they’re more comfortable displaying affection in privacy. they may seem cool and collected, but deep down they are quite nervous Who initiates cuddle sessions?

Delilah gets a bit clingy whenever she starts to feel lonely, so naturally she has to go pester Azul until he gives her some attention. How do we cheer each other up?

Food. Azul will take Delilah out to eat somewhere nice, just to have some alone time together and eat comfort food. Delilah will surprise Azul with some sweets, and insist that he take a break so the two of them can enjoy the treats while relaxing somewhere quiet. Who is more likely to plan a surprise date for the other?

Azul. He's all about going above and beyond in order to wow his date. Delilah enjoys being spoiled, so its a win-win. Who suggests the more creative date ideas?

Probably Delilah. She’ll see some new date trend take off and absolutely has to try it for herself. Azul also has a thing for creative dates, but he prefers to keep the plans secret just for a nice surprise.

Who steals the other's clothes?

Neither one is too big on “borrowing” clothes. They have their own style to maintain after all. Who is more likely to leave cute little sticky notes for the other to find?

On days when Azul is too busy to spend time with Delilah, he’ll leave her notes that he may or may not have asked Floyd and Jade to place for him apologizing for not being available that day, while also promising to make up for it later. What our favorite thing to do during the summer is?

Trips to the beach! Delilah wants to try and learn more about Azul’s home, even though he insists there’s better ways to learn. It still ended up becoming a tradition, just because getting away from everything and everyone is so nice.

What our favorite thing to do during the winter?

Staying inside, cuddling by the fire and baking warm desserts is the only way to spend winter with the one you love :)

Zehzhik Particles

These are the particles of the Zehzhik language. Some of these words might not be particles in the general sense, but these words don’t act quite like any other part of speech in Zehzhik. There isn’t a general rule that binds the particles, which is why most particles have a note section. Most vowels have arbitrary length.

Below are examples for each one, because some of the simple definitions can be confusing.

Aže y prauk eš myśka-ža – Hit me baby one more time Ka aa – Is that so? (said with a falling tone); Tif aa – kinda/pretty nice Uvakj ah oznaśźer – Boys only school (note: NOT uvakjahoznaśźer – is not an adjective) Zejavj anksi – to run until your legs fall off Davek bre ešk – come here, my friend Vo da emyśi – there are no cats here Ðuso “bre” – I was like “bruh” (the subject is implied via context or with adjectival pronouns) Ekke… va? – Um… what? Sjevsi Samo-sa er? – Your name’s Samo, no? Sdräski, sjevęm Vokko esa – Hey my name is Vokko (sounds feminine) Etto čevotše Stalin Iosif – The oh-so “honorable” Joseph Stalin Sëkaaju ðaš ha – I like you, truly. Fhf eka kyyvo! – Haha this is funny Myśka-ža hvo ðaš myssraja – Babe I want you to know that I love you Jesta hessväśik ii tif aa – She’s ugly af but kinda nice Raiš uš va j? – Do you love me? (sounds “softer”– like leaving off punctuation in English) Ja svosu kivoi – Even I tear up sometimes Uši vtak jat – I’m 24 years old Ek sen jj – I’ll do it! Praaj jj j – y’know, the limit Eka sen ka – I’ll totally do that Jezu inufutboïnek kero – I’m an American football player (sounds masculine) Irokogdisbakii… xiri kje – Odd pants-stick… i.e. cocks “Veni vidi vici“ ko Kaesar – “veni vidi vici“ said Caesar Fenjek eš jo kus – catch me if [you can] (sounds cheeky) Ksaš san lo – I hope you know her Iðu dęn nje – I’m going home, ok? No ka všu suninta – Well yeah I like sleeping Ka jest verm polu – yeah he’s safe… sorta Cait luvja, rake myśi, koiči, hait, yzai – I love animals, e.g. cats, dogs, sharks, etc Ree sjevsi va? – Say, what’s your name? Soo, eješ vaan, ešješ šver – I see, you’re not cool, you’re just an asshole Svoi vo “Wonderwall” – Anyways, here’s “Wonderwall” Ðyh ttu, davek sdi – you fucker, come here Jezeiven uře! – I can’t freaking see! Uře sura va… – wow what a bitch Ješa bre va zovaan – You’re like so cool, girl Sjevih va? – So what’s their name? Jezeiven vä! – I can’t fucking see! Ki syo eka vaja – I wonder who’s doing this Svoi vo “Wonderwall” – Anyways, here’s “Wonderwall” Vaja ki voet SZa vve, Trump-sa ö Putin-sa – I wonder, who’s the leader of the US, Trump or Putin Iirvoet joi Merkel-sa, Trump-sa, Putin-sa, yin-sa – The world leaders are Merkel, Trump, Putin, etc. Myśi, koiči, hait, yzai – cats, dogs, sharks, etc Zo daveš va? – So are you coming?

Ok that should cover most of any confusion. Again, if you have questions feel free to ask.
