Anything for you

AN: I was originally going to use ideas from one of the S.Coups fics in my drafts but, since today is also the lovely @onlyseokmins birthday, I decided to go with this idea that hit me out of nowhere instead. Kill two birds with one stone and all of that. All I'm going to say is that this is all Sar's fault (I hope this is okay and, still scratches your S.Coups itch 💀).
Synopsis: Seokmin is the most generous, thoughtful man you've ever met. He'll more than willingly give you whatever you want (if it's within his means, of course). Even if that means sitting back and watching you get fucked by one of his closest friends.
Heads up: Lee Seokmin x Fem! Reader x Choi Seungcheol, Reader and DK are in a relationship, the plot is paper-thin, heavily implied power dynamics, cuckoldry (sort of), voyeurism, exhibitionism, Seungcheol is mean here, mentions of pussy spanking (f. receiving), edging (f. receiving), it's implied that Cheol gets off on Reader's tears, praise kink (f. receiving), degradation (f. receiving), dirty talk, unprotected piv sex, creampie and DK cums untouched.

Some people may think you're a little spoiled by your boyfriend. With his thoughtfulness often resulting in him bringing you flowers he saw on his way home from work or washing the dishes when it's your turn when work is particularly grating or making you cum on his pretty fingers until you lose count.
Yeah, maybe you're a little spoiled but, Seokmin just wants to make you happy. The way your eyes light up and that brilliant smile you always give him make it all more than worth it.
That's how the two of you find yourselves in your current situation. Well, the three of you.
Your... affinity for muscular men with great arms and pretty smiles has caused your gaze to linger a few too many times on Seungcheol. You'd never dream of betraying Seokmin that way, but you'd be lying if you said Seungcheol hadn't featured in a fantasy or two. Your boyfriend, ever the observant man, doesn't fail to notice.
And now, looking at him flushed with his bangs sticking to his sweaty forehead as he watches Seungcheol split you open on his, frankly, intimidating cock, you're left wondering if this is all even real.
"Doesn't she look so pretty taking me, Seokminnie?" The older man asks. You can't quite see him from this angle but, you're sure he's grinning when he thrusts into you so hard that your nails nearly draw blood from how tightly you're holding onto him.
"Yeah, she does," your boyfriend mutters in response, lidded eyes flying between taking in your changing expressions and Seungcheol thrusting into you.
Seungcheol isn't as kind as your boyfriend. Every act of disobedience and brattiness met with an unflinching spank to your clit. Stopping completely until you're near tears with how desperately you want to cum. Your mind devoid of everything but, the need to cum on his cock.
And Seokmin watches it all. His cock hard and untouched in the confines of his boxers. You haven't given permission to touch himself yet so, he sits and watches like the good boy he is.
"Cheol, please," you choke out once more when his cock brushes a spot inside of you that makes it difficult to breathe. Frustrated tears spilling down your overheated face.
"You do know how to ask nicely," he coos against your ear, nipping it and startling you when his daft fingers rub circles against your hypersensitive clit. It's dizzying how quickly he's learned how to toy with you.
You're so close. So, so close. Your thighs quivering violently and broken moans falling from your bruised lips as you chase your release.
Choi Seungcheol would never make it that easy. So, he stops once more. You feel his cock throb inside of you as your walls spasm and, frustrated whines leave your lips. He even has the nerve to lick away a few of the tears he's able to catch. You had no idea he had so many sadistic tendencies.
Before you can ask why he stopped, he speaks, "Do you think she deserves to cum?"
Seokmin looks like a deer caught in head lights. Warm, brown eyes alternating between your watery, desperate ones and the ones of the very hot, very evil man propping you up against his chest.
"I-I think she deserves to cum," he stutters out and, you want to kiss him so badly. You're going to make him cum so hard he can't walk straight after this.
"Well, since you've both been so well-behaved," is all the preparation you're giving before Seungcheol picks up his pace once more. Leaving you no time or room to gather yourself as his fingers make quick work of your clit once more.
"Are you going to cum like the good girl you are? The needy slut you are?" the devil whispers into your ear. Though you're pretty sure Seokmin can hear it all from the way he squirms in his seat.
"Make a mess for Seokmin,"
That's all it takes for your orgasm to rip through you. You don't remember the last time you came this hard. Seungcheol groans behind you and holds you steady through it all. Everything tenses and seizes and you're briefly worried that you'll develop a cramp but, you can't bring yourself to care all that much.
It's made all the worse (or better, depending on how you look at it) when you feel Seungcheol cum inside of you. His hold on you becoming harsh as he makes you take every single drop with every pulse of him inside of you.
Your bleary eyes meet Seokmin's frenzied ones and, that's when it hits you. He came. He came from watching...all of this. He looks like he's so close to stumbling out an apology but, you're not upset. Quite the opposite. The wet stain on his boxers instinctively making you clamp down on Seungcheol's softening cock, causing the man behind you to moan.
Yeah, this might be his greatest gift yet.

; so I'm currently using Genderflir ( a term I recently discovered, originally just using Genderfluid ), but I'm having doubts ... Because, although the definition seems to fit how I feel perfectly, I have literally never seen / known of anyone that uses it. And so I feel like, weird ?? Logically I know that since the term exists, and was easily findable on a wiki, other people are Genderflir. But I still feel alien, and like I'm the only Genderflir person in the world- and know I feel like I'm lying to myself and should " go back " to being Genderfluid ?? I don't know. I'm sending this because I guess I need clarification ? Confirmation ?? Something along those lines, just someone to tell me I'm not weird or lying to myself, or disrespecting other Genderflir people by identifying as Genderflir even though I'm doubting my gender so much- qwq
; gender is very confusing to me, and I was so happy to find a term that described me so accurately ... But I can't help but feel wrong, for constantly changing terms and whatnot so much. Y'know ?? ( sorry this is so long lol, just needed to get it off my chest before I literally explode . )
It's no secret that I love micro labels, but there are some downsides to them: micro labels can lead to a feeling of alienation from community. But here's the thing: I promise you that there are more genderflir people out there than you think. And I promise you that you can use your micro label and be genderflir, and you're still just as much of a valid member of the genderfluid community <3
You're not disrespecting anyone. You're not lying to anyone. You're being yourself and I think that's beautiful. And even if you were the only genderflir person on the earth, that wouldn't invalidate your gender in any way! Gender is complicated and unique and fluid and indescribable sometimes, and I believe that there are as many genders as people, because we all have a slightly different experience, even if we use the exact same descriptors.
Finding yourself and the correct label for yourself is a journey. Change is human and natural, you're not wrong for changing labels. You're staying true to yourself, and that's amazing! It takes courage and self-respect to embrace change, and it's great that you're being patient with yourself and accepting of your journey. It's normal to doubt yourself occasionally, but be gentle with yourself🫶🫶
If the label makes you happy, keep using it. You're absolutely valid and you're always going to be more than welcome on my blog!!🩷🤍💜🖤💙
PS: your label is really cool tbh, i love the flag!!

I know you love The dragon prince and that’s great. I binged the show after season three released. I listened to podcasts about the show . I listened to yours and felt really happy when I found people who also liked the show. Unfortunately I fell of during the hiatus between season three and four. I am patient person but three years was long. Also I watched the show for rallylum and through the moon just kind killed my love for them.Then I found your blog and was really happy. Then I saw how you felt about the owl house and it bothered me. As a neurodivergent person the show made me feel really seen. I know it’s stupid to be upset about an opinion. As a person who wants to be an English major how do find parallels between relationships and characters. You talk about certain ones and I don’t see them at all. Your probably more seasoned as a writer than I am so
Ps : sorry this is long and hope tdp ends well in your opinion
Few things:
1) I'm also neurodivergent (hi!) - specifically Autistic - and I have also largely wanted to be understood my whole life, much like Luz (according to S3). While a show making you feel seen can certainly be wonderful, meaningful, and sometimes even life changing, to me that's not enough to make it a Good (per my subjective tastes) Show. That's not to say TOH is a bad show - far from it - but it's one that didn't appeal to my particular tastes due to 1) too many characters and not enough screentime, 2) a lack of theme (which many kids shows don't have a ton of because they're, y'know, for kids), and 3) all of the characters have very black and white morality, and that's just less interesting to me.
Being upset about opinions is very natural, and it's not stupid, but it is also important to acknowledge that 1) you can't control how anyone else feels or interprets things and 2) no one else can control how you feel or interpret things.
2) I adored Through the Moon. Rayla's tendency to leave (and why) is always a hurdle I expected them to have to tackle at one point, and given that it's her main character flaw, I'm really excited and happy with the way it's been handled so far and how TTM kicked it off. The graphic novel also really resonated with me in Callum's place, as I too have loved many of my loved ones through incredibly difficult periods regarding their mental health, and the graphic novel felt very honest about the toll that can take on both parties in different ways, and how love/support can help, but ultimately isn't enough if the person isn't ready (or willing) to start trying to get better. It's not an easy pill to swallow, but it is a realistic and important one and I've enjoyed how the show has continued that storyline with Rayla (and Callum) into S4 and S5
3) Being an English major is not for everyone! I know many people who love to read and who are very good writers where an English degree would not suit them at all. It's a lot of reading (by my final year, there were some weeks where I was reading an entire 400 page book roughly every week, if not multiple at the same time). It is also a lot of writing (and my professors regularly chewed me out for my grammar). You also tend to kind of double being a history major as depending on what you're reading, you learn a lot of the religious/historical/cultural context in order to understand the language, references, and messaging intended by the author (and then whether or how much to disregard it, lmao). Being able to analyze — to see connections between characters and themes in particular, but other forms of symbolism and messaging — quickly is probably the main thing that saved my ass and let me stay on Honour Roll throughout my undergrad.
I have also been writing pretty seriously for a long time (I 'started' at age 10 but only really count age 12 onwards, cause that's when I first started writing 70k+ drafts every 1-2 years for original WIP stuff). A lot of what makes a good writer is being a good reader, taking your favourite stories (books or otherwise — movies, musicals, tv shows, etc can be gold mines) and figuring out what works in them and why, or why you like them (or don't like them), etc.
For example: The Owl House is a primarily character driven > plot driven story. In book form, it'd likely be Middle Grade to early YA. It's interested in character relationships among the main cast (any of the more villainous characters like Belos are never given the same amount of development or screentime) and some mild worldbuilding. It has some social commentary (mostly on the school systems through Luz and mental health through Eda) and an overall theme of "being different is good," breaking away from abusive systems/dynamics, and the importance of solidarity.
If I compare and contrast this to TDP, The Dragon Prince is far driven in equal parts by the plot (because it's wholly serialized) and by character. It is also very thematically driven — most notably how to break intergenerational cycles of trauma and violence, but also self-destructive tendencies, abuse, responsibility, power, grief, and concepts of justice and punishment. This is also reflected in the fact numerous villainous characters (Viren, Claudia, etc.) share close to equal screentime with the 'good guy' protagonists and heavily explores morality across a decently wide spectrum. It thereby has a more mature tone in its subject matter and would easily be YA in book form.
Which is to say: the best way to get better at analyzing is to break characters down to their basic plot structures (Character A does this, they want that, Character B does this, they want that, etc.) and see what pops up (for example, in Avatar The Last Airbender, Aang and Zuko both cannot go home, and duel Ozai when they're 13 years old, ultimately refusing to be violent against their opponent). You can also look at similar personality traits (curiosity, selflessness, carelessness, etc). Practice looking at the stories you love and figuring out what works and doesn't work for you personally — and then go beyond relatability to look more at subtext and symbols. Some of the best things I've ever read were books that had nothing relatable to my personal experiences in them (like The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini), and that was why I loved them because they got to broaden my horizons.

(sorry this is a side blog, dumblr only lets your reply to posts from your main)
anyway, another long infodump ahead (i get possitive responses from my followers when i do this so i will not apologise)
yeah, the room to the left in the quester's rest populates with player's you've tagged (talk to erinn, ask to canvass for guests) up to 6.
once you reach your 7th guest, the barrier is removed from the stairs to access the first floor (second floor for y'all americans) and erinn will explain she had to open it up to make room for more guests. on that floor, you'll find a door and more stairs barred off. the area will populate with another 6 guests.
at your 13th guest, well, first you'll find the whole interior of the quester's rest has been upgraded. but also erinn will have unbarred the door upstairs to make room for another 6 guests.
at your 19th guest, erinn will unbar the stairs to the second floor (third floor). there's another barred door there.
with your 25th guest, the quester's rest interior will upgrade againthe door on the top floor will open and you'll see you finally have room for the whole 30 guests.
if you have more than 30 guests, they start replacing the oldest ones but you can show guests to the royal suit so they never leave (ask erinn to view the guestbook).
when you reach the max capacity of 30, you'll get access to the basement. there's a fountain down there that spawns items, some of the items you find may differ from other players due to a hidden fountain group value in your save file. there are 4 spots where items spawn but a new spot gets added for every 100 players you tag up to 10 additional spots (14 total) at 1000 players. there's also accolades for tagging certain numbers of players up to 1000.
if you ever connected to wifi (ps while ds wifi was discontinued in 2014, there are fan replacement servers you can connect to, ask me about them for more info. otherwise, you can hack this stuff in with the save editor), you probably have the special inn guests from previous games who's rooms you can access from the elevator operator who takes you to the royal suites. they all have 3-5 pieces of gear to give you to dress up as them. they will all have one to give you the first time you talk to them, one to give you on your birthday (birthday in ingame profile settings matches date on your ds), and one to give you when the in is fully expanded. (they may also have one they give you if you talk to them as a certain vocation and/or one after a certain quest. they will also give you birthday cakes and/or party poppers on your birthday, these could only otherwise be obtained from the dqvc - the fan servers do NOT operate dqvc themes that had them. and 1 birthday cake is required for an extra quest so don't go using those up. one extra quest requires dressing as borya; borya will only give you his shoes when the inn is fully expanded. i bought borya's shoes from the dqvc in 2014 instead, the fan servers do NOT run the theme with those either. if you're fine with using a save editor you can hack all this stuff in instead if you want).
in tag mode you can also share a copy of any treasure maps. you can't tag the same player, every save has a uuid (universal unique identifier) so your save will know if it's the same player. but if they've left your inn (either bc you've got more than 30 and they were kicked out, or you manually kicked them from the guest book), you can tag them again. it WON'T count as an additional guest but you can share another map this way.
deleting a save file will delete the uuid so you can reset the save file on another copy over and over, playing through the first 2 hours of the game to reach the quester's rest, then tagging your main copy. this is what i've been doing, it's slow but i'd prefer to avoid hacking my original copy if possible.
EDIT: almost totally forgot i was gonna add a video. if you'd like to see what the inn expansions look like, here's a video. looks like the uploader is enhancing the graphics in an emulator. they also have no actualy guests in the rooms so they probably just unlocked them with the save editor

uhhh hi mommy! I sent this ask on your old blog but since that got nuked here it is again.
(re: my last ask about advice on squirting.)
I tried some of your advice and it wasn't... super great. I hadn't done much penetrative stuff before, and it took 15 minutes to get myself wet enough to get a finger in, and even then, it didn't feel super great. I was kind of expecting it to feel how it felt when I touched my clit for the first time.
I thought I felt my g-spot with the very tip of my finger, so I decided to use the non-cap end of a Sharpie as a makeshift dildo. I think I found my g-spot but it didn't feel super great? Just like a dull throbby feeling deep in my pussy.
It didn't feel good so I stopped. I tried to get myself to cum by touching my clit but that didn't work, I was completely out of the mood.
I don't like penetration and I don't like touching my nipples (my boobs are usually too tender to feel good, and pulling on my nipples just makes them ache) and I don't like the idea of anal, so I'm 100% not doing that.
Feeling discouraged. I don't feel like I can be a proper sub if I can't or don't want to service a Dom with my holes. I feel like all I can do is be told to sit and stay like a dog (follow orders, something I want to do but is it enough?)
(sorry that this downer ass ask is the first of mine on your blog lol)
- 🩷
hey love! Don’t beat yourself up for it❤️ you are still very much a sub even if you don’t enjoy anal, or penetration. There are other ways to be of service that doesn’t involve those things. (If you’re comfortable, you still have your mouth 🙊) but all that aside, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. That’s okay! You’re not into those things and your body is telling you that.
You can very much be a service sub and serve your Dom(me) by doing exactly what you said, following orders (or don’t!) you can touch them in a variety of ways, you can kiss them, lick them suck on them, etc. you can bite. If you simply want to sit and be told what to do then the right Dom(me) will enjoy it!
All of this will take some experimenting, trial and error. Maybe you’ll come to find out that you enjoy thigh riding, or tribbing, or other forms of stimulation!
There are so many ways to enjoy kink, to enjoy your body sexually, you’ll find something that works for you love ❤️
if you have any other questions or simply need to vent, you know where I’ll be ☺️
It’ll be okay darling!
PS: my original blog is back up if you’d like to leave me asks there as well.

Hey! First of I really like your blog and how you interact w/ people. Second, I'm a writer who used to write for fandom but is more interested in writing some original works. The questions are, could I post original works on ao3?, how can I get people to see it?, And if I can't, any good websites to post original works?
You definitely can post Original Works on AO3! There's a whole fandom tag for it :D
Original Works on AO3 do get less interaction that ones that are attached to a fandom, but you can help yourself out by tagging the tropes, themes, genres etc that you're writing in. Lots of people will read anything with a particular tag. Lots of others just love Original Characters.
If you're considering a certain tag, you can always do a tag search to find canonicals (tags that automatically populate in dropdown menus) or to see if there's a tag for the idea that you want to express.
Other sites where you can publish your Original Fiction include Wattpad, Fictionpress, Royal Road, SpaceBattles - and of course tumblr, twitter, pintrest and other social media sites.
Those are just off the top of my head, so if anyone would like to add more please do!
PS thank you for the compliment 😚

Sissi and Laura -- the Same kind of Weird Besties
And this is my final post for my Code Lyoko friendship pairs series! The idea of pairing Sissi and Laura wasn't there in my mind initially, but as I got around to writing Aelita's and William's, I thought, "Why not Sissi and Laura?"
I hope you enjoy!
PS - I wasn't able to find pictures of Laura and Sissi because they literally have no interactions in the show, and I didn't want to use others' images, so you can google up images to look at while you read this, I guess.
Meanwhile, here are my other links!
Code Lyoko Masterlist
Friendship Headcannons for:
- Odd and Yumi-
Aelita and William-
Jeremie and Ulrich
Also check out Headcannons - Code Lyoko since I may use content about Sissi and Laura from those batch of headcannons for this!
(Note -- if links are not accessible, navigate to my blog to find my main masterlist from where you can navigate through everything!)
~
Sissi and Laura are very different people on the surface -- or so we think.
Listen! Both Sissi and Laura wanted to be a part of the Lyoko gang.
Both of them had an affinity and a rivalry with two members of the group (Sissi has an affinity for Ulrich and thus rivals with Yumi, and with Laura, its Jeremie ad Aelita).
Though I think Laura is bi with a greater romantic attraction towards those who identify as female (these are just my thoughts).
So, in evolution, Sissi is portrayed as a blonde. I fully stand by this, though I think its more likely that she dyed her hair for fun, rather than permanently.
In between where the original series stopped and when evolution began, Sissi must've had a maturing phase, where, after hanging out with the group like a normal person, she grew out of her insecurities regarding Ulrich and grew into her own person.
I think part of that growth was the need for a makeover, so she dyed her hair blonde and gave herself a new look.
And doesn't really pester the others as much anymore.
I also think that after the Lyoko intrigue faded away, and after the first time they shut down the Supercomputer and after Sissi kinda sorta hung out with the gang, she realized they weren't as cool as she thought they'd be (something like how you think a certain state of life is greater than it actually is, but when you get to it, you're bored) and that's when she sorta grew into her own person.
Now, Laura is highly intelligent and she figured out a way to specifically exclude herself from the Return to the Past program. Remember, Jeremie had to literally cut-copy-paste whatever program Franz Hopper had written down in the supercomputer to execute it, and Laura figured out how to modify the damn program with just a few minutes (max two hours) of system time!
But Laura lacks in empathy and emotional intelligence sometimes (somewhat similar to Sissi), because she has always just wanted to be included in something.
Push comes to shove, and evolution happens, and Laura is kicked out of the group because Jeremie and Aelita figured out how to make Return to the Past work for Laura again.
You would think that's how Sissi and Laura become friends, but nope.
Sissi would have already seen Laura for who she was -- someone who used to be exactly like her -- while she was slightly integrated into the group.
I think she'd have a soft pity-laugh to herself, because she understands that the Lyoko warriors are always exclusive to each other, and trying to mesh into that is tiring. You always get pushed out anyway.
But obviously, the real Return to the Past happens, and even Sissi forgets she was feeling those feelings for her.
However, Laura's memories would be really really altered and she'd have some time figuring out whether she was hallucinating or having deja vu with the gang, you know? You can't tell me that a Return to the Past specifically catered to erasing Laura's memories can't have specific side-effects for her.
I think she might end up at the infirmary for something while Sissi also happens to be there.
Then Sissi opens up about how she'd always try to find out more about the gang, only for it to be totally stupid stuff. And once she actually got to know them, she figured out that they were an acquired taste.
Sissi: Headache?
Laura: Kinda, yeah. I've been having a lot of migraines lately.
Sissi: Weren't you with Jeremy and his friends?
Laura: Belpois? It's... actually weird. I haven't spoken to them too much, but I feel like I already know them, though I can't quite seem to put it into words. It's weird.
Sissi: Oh yeah. I get that vibe from them too. Most of the time. Ulrich's like that, you know -- some days I feel like he and I have something unsaid in our friendship, and the next day, he's a total mystery.
Laura: Strange.
Sissi: Very strange.
They definitely bond over their weird dislike over the Lyoko gang.
Sissi: It all started even before, but it intensified after Odd's cousin Aelita showed up.
Laura: The one with the pink hair? I think she's kinda cute Laura is definitely bi and I think she definitely thinks Aelita is cute.
Sissi: Please, there are a few unwritten rules at Kadic. One, I'm the best. Two, every girl goes through Della Robbia at some point. Three, Jim would rather not talk about anything that happened to him before Kadic, and Four, Jeremie and Aelita are meant to be. Heck, I don't even like them that much but I never mess with either one or the other goes feral.
They're the kind of besties who bond over bitching.
Laura: You used to like Stern? He's not even that attractive!
Sissi: You have to admit, he's a little cute.
Laura: No. If anyone's good-looking there, it's Dunbar.
Sissi: The pretend-emo who's eternally in love with Ishiyama? Seriously?
Laura: He's tall!
Sissi brings out Laura's inner petty-feminine energy (in a good way) and Laura helps ground Sissi sometimes.
So even though they never saw each other coming, they became the unlikeliest of best friends because they just get each other.
Laura: We should form our own gang.
Sissi: No, they're all too dumb for me and too normal for you.
Laura: You realize you just classified yourself as not normal?
Sissi: Of course! I'm extraordinary.
Laura: *laugh* You have a point.
Sissi: AND smart! See, Laura, we lucked out and now we're best friends.
Laura: We're best friends? How sweet of you.
Sissi: Yeah, I think we're the same kind of weird.
Bonus:
Odd: Who would've thought Sissi and Laura would end up best buds?
Jeremie: Yeah, it's a bit shocking.
Aelita: I think it's nice. It's definitely poetic.
Ulrich: I can see that, kind of. Sissi was obsessed with me, Laura was obsessed with Jeremie. I think they just need someone obsessed with Odd for a trio. And probably someone obsessed with William too, though I can't think of any reason why.
William: I thought we're friends now, Ulrich?
Ulrich: I mean, mad respect for you, but rivalry is kind of our thing.
Yumi: Thank god you aren't incharge of maturity in this group.
Ulrich: Of course. That's all Odd.

so, it's been a while since I've posted original content in this blog lmao.
I have been reading, that's fore sure, but my life focus has shifted a bit this year, since I feel a bit more secure to leave my house, after all that crazy stuff happened the past 3 years.
Still, I still love this space of mine on the internet and for the last couple of days I've been thinking about it, specially because I do believe that we change overtime and since i've been moving on with some of my life stuff, I feel this could be a start of a new era of this little blog. I don't think it is fit to be only about books anymore.
That said, i've decided to start posting more about the studyblr community and, mainly, productivity over here as well. Mainly because I want to do some productivity challenges and I feel that posting about it over here will help me get motivated and continue to do them.
So, may I announce that starting tomorrow (June 12th 2023 aka. brazilian valentines day) I will be doing the Project 50 Challenge!
I will be following the basic rules (+ my takes on it) of the challenge, that are:
wake up before 8am (my goal is to wake up everyday at 6am)
do your morning routine: 1h no distractions (i have no idea what i'm going to do except that i can't use my phone and i will be dressing up and making myself some breakfast lmao)
exercise for 1h a day (gym during week days and blogilates exercises during weekends and holidays)
read 10 pages a day (i will start by reading The Prince, by Machiavelli)
dedicate 1h towards a new skill (revising and learning French)
follow a healthy diet (no soda, no red meat and i have to bring my own healthy snacks to work +edit: follow the weight watchers program!!!)
track your daily progress in a journal (this space of mine will work as my journal)
PS: I feel some of my takes on the goals will be changing as the 50 days will pass by. For example, The Prince is a really short book, so I guess I will finish it pretty early on the challenge and then change to another non-fiction book.
As for why I decided to start this productivity challenge, I have to say that's because I have a lot of things to do right now, and I need to put my life in some kind of track. I need to do online courses I've bought and haven't done yet. I'm a bit left behind my reading goals. I need to save a bit of money and eat healthier, as I need to build consistency at the gym. So finding about this 50 day challenge seemed perfect to try and go back on track.

Your GIFs are amazing! What do you use (program/app) for making them?
i got the same question a few months ago, but i'll answer again with more detail:
kmplayer - i use this program to extract the frames of a video that i want to make into gifs. i usually save them as jpg files. the program is free to download and install. for videos with 25 or 30 fps, i extract every frame without skipping any. for videos with 50 or 60 fps, i usually extract every other frame.
adobe photoshop cs6 - i use photoshop to create and edit the gifs. i almost always apply sharpening and coloring (levels, curves, contrast, brightness, vibrance, color balance, selective color, etc). photoshop is uhhh not free but there are ways to acquire it.
this was basically the method that i learned many years ago and i haven't really tried anything else, though there are plenty of other ways to make gifs. no matter what programs are used, sharpening and coloring is what makes my gifs look the way they do, as the original videos are always darker and blurrier than the resulting gifs.
i can't find the exact tutorials that i used back when i was learning how to make gifs, but a web search turns up these:
gif tutorial for photoshop cc 2018 (this one seems relatively complete and up to date)
gif tutorial for photoshop cc 2017
gif tutorial for kmplayer and photoshop cs5 (this is the closest to what i do, though simplified and not exactly the same steps)
gif sharpening tutorial with photoshop action
blog with more gif tutorials
even more photoshop resources
you can find more if you look for “tumblr gif tutorial” on some search engine. most of these tutorials use photoshop’s “import video frames to layers”, but that function doesn’t work in my version of ps, so i extract the frames first with kmplayer and use “file -> scripts -> load multiple DICOM files” to import them.

On this blog, I repost the same very popular Tweets dozens of other users have also reposted. My goal is to exclusively embed those Tweets, which automatically adds the accessibility feature that is alt text + a link to the original (with few exceptions in which I write the alt text myself, if I feel like a Tweet is notable enough but has apparently been deleted.)
By doing this, I would like to make those popular posts and memes accessible to more people. I would also like to show to more people that Tweet embeds are an option, to hopefully encourage them to use them in the future.
As a reminder, in order to embed a Tweet, all you have to do is paste its link onto your post.
You can easily copy the link of Tweets on either desktop or the app. (The placement can sometimes change on mobile from update to update, but the option should always be accessible via one of the buttons around your Tweet.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then open your fresh tumblr post and paste the link.
Tumblr media
(Link to my post with only this Tweet, in case you like it and want to reblog it.)
If you're sourcing your own brand new Tweet to share to tumblr for any reason, this is arguably quicker and easier to do than taking a screenshot and re-uploading it to tumblr. Please consider this option whenever possible - it's very convenient.
In my case, since my goal is to repost Tweets that are already popular on tumblr, I use Twitter's search function, which works very well (contrary to tumblr's).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you already have a screenshot with the person's username, unless they deleted their account or changed their username, you're certain to find the original. Of course, this is only needed if you're looking for a Tweet to repost, and you won't need to do this if you just happen into a new Tweet you want to share to tumblr.
I encourage anyone to use this instead of screenshots whenever possible, because it's more convenient than having to type the alt text yourself! Even if you don't usually provide alt text, there's no reason not to let it be automatically written for you when it can be. Plus, it leaves a link to the original Tweet, which I feel like makes it more respectful to the user who wrote the funny joke.
Alt text is an accessibility feature that mostly benefits people who use screen-readers because they, for one reason or another, can't read the words on their screen. Especially when the image is the right size - so the "alt" button doesn't come in the way - as it is automatically generated by pasting the Twitter link, there's no harm in having it there whatsoever. All it does is include more people.
Accessibility isn't a one-size-fits-all. Some users may benefit more from Image descriptions that are written in the body of the post. However, alt text is a commonly accepted and convenient accessibility feature. On top of that, accessibility for the disabled can oftentimes wind up benefiting everyone - for example, being able to click the "alt" button allows people to see the contents of the image even if they have a poor connection and the image won't load. Having a text description of any image also makes it easier to find in the future, even with tumblr's terrible search function.
I hope this post can encourage more people to include alt text and/or image descriptions more often. Even if you don't have time to include alt text all the time, you should take advantage of these embeds, which do it for you. A funny Tweet repost is the type of post to become very popular, so it's sure to land on someone's feed who wishes they could know what it says but can't when it's just an undescribed image.
(PS: as of currently, there is a slight issue in that the contents of described images included in the Tweet, or Tweets being quoted, aren't copied. Now that you know about the Twitter embed option, consider contacting support in one way or another to let them know you'd like these contents to be added to Twitter embeds. It's a really great option for simple text Tweets, and it could easily include even more Tweets. I know you just found out about it, so if you just want to use the function for those text Tweets for now, it's okay - please just consider it!)

🌼Welcome to my Ask Blog!🌼
Heyo! It is I, Lonliest_muffin a (primarily) Katekyou Hitman Reborn Ao3 Author!! :3
I will use this Blog to answer various Questions, reblog writing advice and khr fics, post tumblr-exclusive short stories, announce Updates on my fanfics and (maybe) create some polls about said fanfictions.
If you want, you could also follow me on my Fandom Blog, @social-muffin! :3
And if you'd like to help me build a story, check out my second Ask Blog @ask-kyoya-hibari-and-kyo-kun!

Under the Read More you'll find a list of Skulls/AUs I plan to answer questions for! I am not an artist(yet I hope), I'm a hobby-writer, so I will answer these Questions with a little story to accompany them, depending on what the question is.

Mizumi's Main Twitter (or X i guess now) account
Mizumi uses a variety of social media accounts to post her artwork online, such as tumblr, reddit, deviantart, instagram, and twitter (not calling it X because that's a stupid name). Specifically for that last one, mizumi uses both an art account, and a main, private account. You would assume that, because it's private, that mizumi wouldn't want anyone outside of very close friends to see it. Nope. She let me gain access to it through accepting my follow request. Yep. It was that easy. Because I know Mizumi lurks here, she will likely put two and two together and figure out who I am, and then subsequently block me. So, in preparation for that, I will be posting some of the more notable tweets from her account that I considered to be most important. So, without further ado, here they are:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1: A post she already crossposted to reddit a few months later 2: Arguing with Nagito stans, as usual. 3: A meme 4: Another reddit crosspost 5: The person she's tagging is an ex friend, so don't bother them. 6: Another meme. 7: Artwork that she crossposted to tumblr (unfortunately, the post is deleted and I can't find the link or an archive) 8: (Translated with DeepL) the text says; My pictures for the challenge "Draw cute animals" :) The first one is an OC of mine, seen that way. The second "fanart" And the last two, my cats at the moment. I think only the 1st and 3rd & 4th count then. ^^
So, overall, nothing too out of the ordinary. There are some memes and her replies to art posts sprinkled inbetween original posts, so yeah. nothing too out of the ordinary. Until I came across this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The image mizumi replied with is just a gif of that one scene from OHSHC where Haruhi's dad walks in on them and Tamaki)
Anyways, the person is 17 years old. 15 years old when these tweets took place. Mizumi is 26, and was 24 when she tweeted that.
Enough said.
[Onto another topic. Because Twitter is currently self imploding thanks to a certain letter-X-obsessed CEO, you cannot actually directly message people unless you're a verified account. I do not own a verified twitter account. So, if someone out there DOES, it would help a lot if you could DM the dropbox link in this blog's description to these two; mizumi's friends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DO NOT go and harass these people. That still needs to be stated, because some people still think that's an okay thing to do. Whether you can dm them or not, still don't go out of your way to harass them. Just tell them about what mizumi has done (since they probably don't even know that she's a child predator), send them the dropbox link, and move on with your life. It's more simple to do that, than it is to spread more negativity.
(PS: once someone does that, I'll remove these people from the post, along with all the text instructing you to dm them. it wouldn't make sense to tell people to dm them about mizumi after they already know, after all.)]

Anime/Manga Rant
Tumblr media
(c) Tite Kubo (BLEACH)
That's right kids.
The word ANIME is on the title.
Now that finals are over.. I've returned to watching anime..
something I hadn't done since…. December. Truth be told.
Anyhow. before that… the usual manga rants.
Naruto.. is… well.. nothing's happening…just flashbacks that made me REMEMBER my mourning. Next week though, something will happen. Hopefully. ANyway..
BLEACH…. STILL AWESOME. Urahara is AWESOME. He is my favorite character. #1 favorite in BLEACH. AWEEESOME…… ..his future's not looking too good though. but. oh well. i him. He is AWESOME. I think he'll survive though. ….REALLY hope so. anyway. [or i will forever hate JUMP since aparently.. JUMP mangas hate me so much they take my fave characters away from me….. JK]I JUMP too.. and LALA.. a bit. lol…. i'm more on the "Action" side rather than the "shoujo" type..anyway.
hmmm… anime rant.
well. HONESTLY. i have a list of animes i NEED to watch. i've been compiling them in my head since the day i stopped watching anime in December.
so. using my random choosing method.
I chose to watch Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny first.
because it's the Gundam series my best friend watches and like… because KIRA is the protagonist's name.
comment on it? sigh I still like Wing the best.
THough now I am thoroughly convinced that I do, indeed, LOVE the Gundam series. Regardless of the setting and the story line.
I dunno.. I like watching military/army anime.. it's just weird.
And for some strange reason? I ACTUALLY prefer them in English. but Japanese is OK too.. <--can't find any SEED DESTINY in English. damn.
anyway.
so. yeah.
the next anime i'm gonna watch….. well. i haven't decided yet.
I might catch up on Shippuden and BLEACH.. MAYBE.
…naaah. so. there. if u have suggestions on what i should watch next.. tell me. ^^
oh. Vampire Knight is next. LOL.. forgot about that.
but since it's not that much, and i could probably finish that in a day until i wait for the next one…
give me suggestions on what i should watch after that!!! ^^
c ya…
wow. that was some FAST typing. LOL…… later [gonna finish SEED Destiny.. I'm in episode..45.. 5 more to go]
PS. This blog was originally posted on DeviantArt.

Remember how i posted a wip of my portrait for the art gallery? Its done. Since ive done my fair share of what my teacher wanted me to do its my turn to do something i want.
Its httyd fanart. Obviously. So i decided to turn it into a game yk, every time i add something to the painting i will post a picture, your job is to guess which movie/series and what scene/episode it is. And to the first person that guesses them right Im gonna give away one custom made art work for them to have.
Rules are simple,
I will be reblogging the progress on one original post for the game, all you have to do is:
Reblog and put the answer as a comment on the reblog, not as a tag cuz if its a side blog its harder to find and tag and also hard for me to reveal the winner if you put it there, or to get in touch.
Prizes:
First to guess the movie/series: character art piece (full body to portrait no complicated back ground)
First to guess the scene/episode or whatever: gets a piece of art with anything they want from back ground to character, anything.
It the first guesser gets them both at the same time its the big prize again.
Rules for the art piece tho (cuz i am no god there are things I can't draw or feel confident in drawing)
Mecha
Nsfw (srry)
Furry art (i cant do it but i can recommend amazing artists to get commissions from)
These are the ones that came off the top of my head I will do the complete list in the contest post.
Edit: all the posts are gonna be tagged under verdart challenge as the tag :)
Ps. My mutuals and irl friends pls dont spoil the game if you know the answer because i ranted to you in 3 am.

Hii :)
I'm not the previous anon, but it's in theme.
I've seen some stuff about the am@zon pr!me show on the webs, it made me curious to watch, but I don't know jack sh*t about LOTR or anything tolkien, really.
So then I started by watching the movies in chronological order, first the hobbit trilogy, then the lotr one (haven't finished the two towers yet oops). I have to be honest, I don't care much for the original movie trilogy, like at all; I thought the hobbit movies were much better. Should I bother with tolkien's books? I'm going to read the silmarillion either way, seems interesting.
Feel free to ignore this ask completely, I'm scouring reddit for similar discussion posts, still undecided.
ps: I'm obsessed with your blog, you're so funny lol
Love xx
I'm always happy to talk about Tolkien so ask away!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the lotr movies but I love that you enjoyed The Hobbit! People usually prefer lotr so it's nice to see The Hobbit getting some love. I personally adore both trilogies!
As for the books if you're looking to get into Tolkien's world I would personally start with The Hobbit (especially if you enjoyed the movies) just because, The Silmarillion, even though chronologically it's set many years before, it's more of a book you read once you've been introduced to the world and then want to learn more. Whereas the Hobbit is a pretty light, relatively quick easy read, and will give you a good introduction to Tolkien's writing.
I'd then move onto lotr next. That is if you're interested in reading it? If you're just not interested, seeing as you didn't care for the movies you can skip it. But as with most books that are made into movies, the books are a lot more detailed then the movies and it's one of the most popular fantasy stories ever for a reason, so I'd recommend at least giving the books a try
Then after you've tried those I'd read The Silmarillion. I wouldn't recommend starting with it just because it's a very different book to The Hobbit/lotr. The Silmarillion is more of a detailed history rather then a straight fantasy novel. It's made up a series of shorter stories, that all fit together into a larger one and is very heavy with characters and events and world building. And although I love it and it's my fave book! it can be quite divisive in that people either love it or they just can't get into it. And I will admit the first few chapters are a bit of a slog to get through the first time you read it, but defs stick with it and push through because it gets so much better! Anyway If you're a fan a histories and detailed world building (me!) you'll love it. But for people who aren't so much into those things, they can find it a bit heavy. But reading it will definitely make the whole Tolkien world more immersive, and adds a whole nother layer to The Hobbit/lotr
And thankyou!! That's so sweet of you to say! 😄💕
