Currently in the nurses office and nonverbal and talking via notes app because I'm overwhelmed and it got me thinking about autistic Eddie Munson going nonverbal when all the shits going on and hes scared and overwhelmed and frustrated because he can’t talk and Eddie Munson is always talking. But he can’t explain himself or what happened and everyone is talking at once and asking if he’s okay and what happened and all he wants to say is it wasn’t me, I didn’t kill her but he can’t and everyone's like "whats wrong? are you okay? did they hurt you?? why can't you talk?" Because none of the kids have seen him in a state like this yet. The questions just makes it worse and Eddie's shaking his head and his hands are trembling while he tried to make gestures to show hes fine just can’t talk and eventually someone shoves a pen and pad of paper into his hands and so he’s trying to write out that he isn’t a murderer but his hands are shaking too much for it to really be legible at all and everyone is still talking and its chaos, at least it is until Steve shouts for everyone to shut up in that tone that he never uses unless hes actually pissed or its something serious.

It finally goes quiet and Eddie breathes a sigh of relief and keeps writing, still shaking, rocking in place a bit and Steve’s like this isn't helping, guys. And this is hard of hearing steve, our dear, amazing hard of hearing Steve, who recognized one of Eddies earlier frantic gestures. So he crouches beside Eddie, slowly reaches for his trembling hand that's producing messy handwriting, and takes whatever he's writing with and now eddies just like staring and steves like "breathe, dude." And asks if he knows sign language. Theres a pause and finally, Eddie nods. Steve, who started learning sign in 1985, immediately smiles a little and says, "Dont write then, just sign. Me and Rob can translate for you." And hence continues the "you wont believe me" “try us” conversation from the show, just in sign language. And from then on Steve and Eddie just stick close together, communicating a lot via sign and getting to know each other a lot more then they did in the show.

Saw the bodypic on your sideblog and hot DAMN! Any workout+nutrition tips for us peasants to get like that?? I'm a hardgainer myself so I would appreciate the advice!

lmao shouldve sent the ask there then :(

important disclaimer: I look Like That largely thanks to good lighting and the fact that I had a mad pump. I dont look like that 24/7, nobody does. If you remove me from that specific spot under the gym lights and wait 10mins for my pump to disappear Id look entirely Normal.

As for hardgaining, youre not gonna like the answer but - just eat more. We like to think we eat a lot already (because it feels like that, because most of us have tiny stomachs) but if u actually took 1 week to record everything u eat, including its nutritional values (mainly macros - carbs, protein, fats, etc), youd see youre probably lacking and/or eating exactly at maintenance (i.e., maintaining your current weight, nothing less and nothing more). The best way I found for myself to eat more is to split my meals, so instead of eating 3 big meals a day, I eat 5-6 smaller ones, and I make sure each meal contains a decent amount of protein (at least 10g). And yeah I wasnt kidding - record what u eat for just 1 week, itll help u see where/what ur lacking.

As for protein - I dont use powders. I find their texture disgusting and most of them give me stomach issues. Personally I view health and fitness as something I should enjoy so Im not gonna do things that actively make me feel like Im suffering or forcing myself, hence, no powders. You dont even need powder to eat a lot of protein, too. Lots of idiots will tell you you need to eat 1gr of protein per 1lb of bodyweight to get larger, but thats protein powder marketing bs (unless ur like, an olympic athlete). Normal people need around 1.2-1.5g of protein per kg of bodyweight to grow muscle mass, according to almost all studies on the subject (again, unless ur an olympic athlete), so for me, weighing around 55kg, thatd be between 66-85g of protein per day. As I mentioned before, I structure my meals so that each contains at least 10g of protein, so right off the bat I start at 50-60g on avg. My lunch (meal 3 usually) is around 40g on its own (blessed Pork steak & greenbeans), so I easily get to 85g of protein a day, and maybe a lil more. Meat shouldnt be your only source of protein, theres a variety of foods to choose from and if u enjoy cooking then ur gonna have a great time! The price of not using any icky powders is learning how to cook lol. If you still want to use powders thats fine, theres nothing wrong with them, but just so u know that eating more protein wont necessarily help u grow, cause ur body has a natural cap on how much it needs/wants to use of the general amount u give it, the rest itll shit out. So, if eating more is difficult to u, I suggest avoiding the powders and just restructuring ur meals to fit you.

As for working out - if youre a woman focus more on volume (higher reps, lower weight), if youre a dude then the opposite. If youre doing more reps at a lower weight make sure that the weight is still somewhat challenging to you though. The distinction between male and female here is important because our bodies respond differently to training so if ur purpose is building the big mooskles and ur a girl - lighter weights will get u there faster. If you want to maximize strength gain as well - dedicate 1 day a week to heavy weights (so less reps but increasingly challenging weight). Im not gonna delve into the types of exercises or workouts u should do cause idk u or what ur experience is but theres enough content online abt that.

The most important thing about the eating and working out is the consistency. ur muscles grow because they respond to stimuli, they adapt to the pressure ur putting on them. theyre not gonna adapt if this stimulation is momentary. Try to work out 3-4 times a week, even just for 30mins each. Get in those reps per muscle group, train each group about twice a week and ur good. Youll see longterm results once eating+working out becomes a habit.

Last thing I wanna touch on is cardio. Theres this weird belief that, if u wanna gain muscle mass, you shouldnt work on cardio. Idk which lazy cunt invented that but its not true! Cardio is important for ur heart, health and ur ability to lift heavier loads! You dont have to run for cardio, theres many activities you can pick from: swimming, boxing, jump rope, dancing etc. Hell, even walking is really good cardio (and is actually better for you than running, longterm) and you can easily do that if you got 1hr to spare twice a week. Developing your cardio will not only make you feel better and healthier, its also detrimental to your strength gaining journey, to avoiding plateaus.

goodluck!

i dont want to pry but i rly liked your trans yuki headcanons and im rly interested on what other stuff u have to say abt her character/backstory/anything really. im rly a big fan of your fics n i like your hcs n ideas in general and this is one thats sort of stuck with me because of the possibilities it has. anyways have a nice day x) (pls ramble as much as u want im all ears 😭😭)

ahhh thank you so much!! and yes i will galdly talk about my headcanons!!

okay so to me, yuki holds personal choice and her own free will in very high regard. this goes along with the fact that she was supposed to merge with tengen as a spv but ultimately didn't go through with it. as far as i know, it's unclear in canon why she didn't go through with the merger, but i think her own choice to walk away played a major role in it and the higher ups let her do it bc of her technique (and because they're cowards who fear special grade sorcerers but that's another conversation)

in terms of appearance and presentation, i think yuki likes to play around with that sort of stuff. this is why yuki w dark roots/bleached hair is so special to me. i think she gets piercings, and then lets them close up once she's tired of them. i think she gets tattoos, and then maybe gets a few covered up. i think she should get to dye her hair purple and blue and pink and whatever other colors she wants. i think she enjoys buying new clothes and putting outfits together and making herself look how she feels, and her being trans just fits in with that so well. and i think she knew she was trans from a young age, and that solid aspect of her identity was something she could hold onto even as a star plasma vessel who isn't supposed to have a sense of identity, and that was how she knew she wanted to continue living as herself instead of merging with tengen. and along with the clear choices yuki has made concerning her appearance, i also think she doesn't cover up any of the things that are proof she's lived. she doesn't cover up her scars or freckles or moles with makeup. she doesn't shave her arms or legs. because she wasn't supposed to live as long as she has - she was supposed to merge with tengen and lose herself in the process - so everything that is evidence of the life she's lived is a reminder of how far she's come. they're a reminder that she chose to live, and it's a choice she wakes up and makes every day.

i don't think yuki was ever very close to her parents, and she never really had friends at school either. she learned to rely on herself when she was young, so by the time she ended up at jujutsu high, she was already independent. i do, however, think she got along fine with her classmates. but she clashed with the higher ups and most of her teachers quite a bit, and was always labelled as a troublemaker. i also think she had to fight hard to get full acknowledgement as a special grade - a lot harder than gojo and geto, who were basically just given their rankings. i think she had to prove herself several times over before the higher ups finally promoted her to special grade. i also think she was probably the sort of student who would not hesitate to call out the teachers if they were wrong about something, or ask questions that no one else wants to think about the answers to (hence, her going off and doing research on her own after she graduated)

i also think, at some point, she told the higher ups' her intention to study cursed energy and curses and figure out a way to cut off the problem at its source, and they all laughed in her face. i think the higher ups have basically ridiculed/taunted/looked down upon her from the moment she rejected her merger, and there are a lot of rumors spread about her that paint her in a negative light because of it. sometimes, she plays into them just because it gets people to leave her alone. in reality, she can be kind when she wants, but she's also tough and mean and and blunt and doesn't care if she hurts your feelings. she prefers to work alone, but she has a soft spot for people she can see her younger self in - people who are trying to figure out who they are and what their purpose in the world is. i think this is probably why she took in todo and trained him; she saw something in him that reminded her of herself, back when she was desperate for even one other person who understood, and she took on that role of being todo's one person who could understand

anyway this is long already so i'll stop here but. to me, the best yuki is one who shamelessly alive. someone who nearly had her soul taken away from her and now knows how precious it is to be in your own body and make your own choices. she doesn't have time for regret or guilt. she's determined and stubborn. she's powerful, and she isn't afraid to prove it. she's smart, she's strong, she's flawed, and she is herself

#yuki tsukumo #jjk #hm. this got longer than anticipated. not sure if this is what you wanted or not but uhh here it is lsjdkhjsgh #you can see some of these headcanons woven into my yuki & riko fic bc tbh that's where a lot of my yuki hcs spawned from #(ty habibi)#anyway i will forever be bitter over the ending gege gave her. she deserved so much better #and i WISH we got to know more about her backstory #asks #anon asks

9 people you'd like to know better

hii i got tagged by @yansurnummu sjdjfhdh

3 ships

Valarie- GODDD i could go on about val, amarie, or both of them for Hours. they are my special little guys and they've changed A Lot over the years as i've learned to move on from my ex. i don't really talk about them in public bc they're an oc x oc ship but goddd. they mean so much to me. which is why if you look at my discord or (priv) twitter they're practically everywhere lol

Dulcillarie- i've always wanted to make a "tragic first love" ship but all my previous tries just didn't work out. fun fact, valarie was intended to be that kind of ship such that val died and amarie would eventually move on and end up with bastian, but after my ex broke up with me and i realized i was a lesbian, i decided to rewrite val's entire story so that they would live and they were the one to end up with amarie (hence why i joke about amarie and bastian being divorced. they actually become a couple too but break up before amarie meets val). where dulcilla comes in is that she takes val's old place as amarie's first love, and it has aaaaallll the juicy drama of a doomed relationship that ends when dulcilla dies sacrificing herself for amarie. also on a side note, not many people know that dulcilla isn't actually my oc! she's a canon character from the immortal eight who's implied to be a mortal incarnation of dibella. so this is an oc x canon ship lmao

Fane/Lisenya- fane has become one of my top comfort characters at this point (bc of my ex, funnily enough) so his romance is one of my favorite romances of all time. even if it's not as in depth as, say, dragon age's or bg3's. as for lisenya, i don't have a lot of lore for her but i love her purple hair and her taste in lovers basically being "girl what the fuck is wrong with you" (obviously she romances fane in dos2, and in bg3 she canonically doesnt romance anyone but. The Emperor.)

First ship

hogh ok that's tough umm.. not to out myself as being Young but, cybomb from v*nturiantale was the first ship i super got invested in. jesus christ. that was 10 years ago and super cringe, but what can i do

Last song

Blackboard by Nano (i've been going through a nano renaissance from middle school lately. this is also a dulcillarie song to me)

Currently reading

nothing really but i've had the hunger games prequel sitting on my desk for a while now and i should really get around to it

Last film

i was (re)watching the matrix movies but i couldnt get past halfway through the second movie.

Currently craving

hmmm. honey chicken

uhh hope no one minds that i dont actually tag anyone in this hddhhd

omg i relate to ur post abt the deserving love and etc and how ppl grow/learn abt themselves bc a few years ago i also wasn't in a good place and i was into "harder" kinks u can say, but now i've grown and i'm not in that same headspace that i was previously in and i learned more abt myself and i'm like, more vanilla ig u can say? anyways no disrespect to those ppl who are into harder kinks and etc, i'll still read it occasionally but it's crazy how we as ppl continue to grow and learn more abt ourselves and what we deserve and want and etc. anyways this is long but basically i agree w u and i hope u have a good day/night :)

don't worry anon, my response is long too HGSAJDFSGHD

anyways, i still do love and enjoy dark content. one of my favorite things ive ever written are my yandere deku and hawks fics. i just love dark content mixed with the tenderness of hurt/comfort, and when i do write dark content, it does have that underlying tenderness to it.

but when i FIRST started, way back in the day almost two years ago, i was exclusively DC and never had any interest in softness or fluff or whatnot. when i write, like im sure a lot of other people do, i insert myself into reader (hence why all my readers are short coded caffeine addicts lMAO), and i realized about myself that these are things that i was writing because it was just..... what i thought i deserved, i guess? i feel like it was almost a form of self harm, in a way. you can even see it in my works, that all my earlier stuff was noncon and coercion and such but then i realized that i actually don't really hate myself, and that i want good things for myself.

i still write dark content dont get me wrong. i love yandere men who are obsessed with me, and i'll never get over that. it was just a journey for me to realize what i deserve tbh. but yeah i love vanilla sex and praise and men who get off on pleasuring ME. but like you anon, i definitely still love and enjoy the harder stuff, i just gotta be in the mood for it, ya know?

monday 22 january 2024 // 7:11pm

feeling a little sorry for myself today but equally it is lowkey kinda my fault still lol

i received a job rejection which again would have been a perfect way for me to start a new career. it was what i wanted to go into and it was based in reading/london which would have been perfect for me to move to massi's and start my new life there

i suppose i still can just move down there come may, but i feel awkward about moving there without a job. it feels disappointing to my parents, and i dont want to burden massi

i mean yeah to be honest i didn't prep for the interview at all until the day - i was just so nervous as i find interviews quite daunting - especially civil service interviews, they are so tricky to navigate and this one i didn't pass at all. probably should have dedicated more time to it

anyway.., yes its a bit gutting to be rejected BUT it happens in life! if i was giving someone else advice in a similar situation, i would encourage them to just keep trying again. better your skills, take on feedback, yes it is a GRAFT, but (most) successful people just have to graft, it is the way life is if you wanna make it in the world. you can't allow rejection to tear you down, you've got to just chin up and carry on. there is a period of mourning, a period of sadness, a period of feeling sorrow. then comes a period of fixing yourself, a period of trying again, a period of progess, advancement, bettering yourself. the sorrow should only be for a period, ideally a small period. it is fine to be sorrowful but this will not cause change to occur

today i was in management training and we learned about emotional intelligence. we were taught that all emotions are positive. the sorrow i am feeling right now is now causing me to reflect (hence, journalling) and work out next steps, this is actually positive. allow your (bad) emotions to be the drive for change, don't just sit in them forever. disappointment is fine, it happens, we are only human, but reframe this disappointment to work for your good

think of the pain scenario: if you don't feel pain (eg, someone pinches you) then you will never know that anything is actually wrong. this anxiety you are feeling in your mind and your body is because your body wants and needs change, it is not happy where it is. try to use it as a driver to change. i would want the drive to be that i just don't want to feel anxiety anymore because it is tiring lol.

this isn't to say i'm doing terribly, generally i am actually quite well. there are good things still happening in life. i did a solo gig as a support slot for my friends band last weekend which i was very nervous about, but i owned it and it appeared to be well-received. im enjoying friends and being alive

anyway

we also come back to this old adage of how im going to choose to spend my time this year. i am very tired of using my phone, it is wasting my time a bit too much when i have many things to do

we also learned today in the management training about time management. my phone is a huge waste of my time, it is not the priority i want right now. i have a lot to do! more gigs to learn songs for, more CV work to do

i need to really sort my priorities out again

working out

looooool! ok, it is far too cold to be running right now, i cant face myself to do that. but i can still start doing my pullups every day again, and do some resistance band training too. that is all indoors and is at least constituting some form of exercise

i need to look at my to-do list and really just prioritise a few things, other things may have to wait. if i have to forego music stuff then i will. but i think i can do it all. i need to set aside time-slots of tasks i need to accomplish per day. and not use my phone while i'm doing things so i can just get shit done

chin up g, things will work out for you. i won't be stuck here forever, i refuse to be stuck this year. 2024 will be even better than 2023

if i dont find a decent job in london, the contingency plan is to just study and get qualified :) full time, this i can do in 3 months ! thats not too bad right? im sure i can find a pay monthly course to help me afford it if i really need to. it is an investment, and it will work out. london will be heaving with jobs once i get qualified in something

warning: a long ranting character analysis ahead. its a character analysis but i put my own personal experience in it hence why a rant. also my vocabulary sucks and i might use wrong words im sorry in advance difuhgopeihpgerty

not sure if this is because i'm a humanities student or its just i can relate because of what i realized while trying to find out about myself but i have some 2cents about Cale's personality.

everything happened late to Cale and that has a big impact on his beliefs and values

it was too late when he met the Soos and became freinds with them. it was too late when that grandma doted on him.

because from what i learned its hard to undo your mindset specially when it has been built up since you were young

consciously or unconsciously

from since he was young cale probably unconsciously concluded that he isn't worth that much and that things could always be worse than this

thats why as long as his alive that's good enough for him. even if his barely on the edge of living with his plate in shambles

like even though Jung Soo and Soo Hyuk and other people he has met later on showed him and tried to teach him that what his doing isnt okay. that he should have higher standards and not just settle for "at least i'm alive". they can't really reset years of accumulated mindset

basically what im saying is its nearly impossible to undo trauma guys

specially with what he went through during his childhood since childhoods always have a great affect in our lives

it doesn't matter if the treatment change or the one inflicting it is gone, once you get used to thinking like that it's hard to turn back y'know

idk how to explain so i'll give a personal example instead

my mom is an overachiever and is very intelligent, and as her child she also expect me to be the same or even surpass her, she's also someone who has a lot of trust issues specially in relationships

imagine that mixing and being projected lol

so for years its just her grilling me to do better. saying that i'm lazy and not putting enough effort on my studies because i can't maintain being a honor student, not realizing the fact fact that maybe, just maybe it's just that i'm not as smart as her. even her standards are crazy high, just passing isn't enough heck a passing grade is a fail for her (asian mom's amiright)

and that also became detrimental to my social life because she's always comparing. she also keeps engraving that they don't really care for me and such and u know the typical manipulation

but nowadays she's calmed downed a bit. she's more open about me having friends and she isn't as strict about me being an honorable student

did that change anything? not really lmaoo

because in the back of my mind i'm thinking that if i dont do well she's gonna have an outburst again, or if i tell her about my friends she's going to say all sorts of things again and i don't want to lonely again. and so the result is me being constantly on guard and her wondering why im hostile

i hope that explains how it greatly affect things

you bring those thoughts and beliefs with you even when you grow up. even when things get better. whether you realize it or not

its really just something you can't get rid of honestly

and that's what i think happened to cale

unknowingly getting the share of White Star's curse made him lose everything he loves and care for

his parents dying

his uncle abusing him

him getting abandoned

just the world falling in ruin

all those things probably made him unintentionally come to the conclusion that he isn't really worth much, and view things that other people would consider necessity, the basic necessities, a luxury

i'd like to believe that maybe he was slowly getting rid of that toxic mindset when he was with the Soos

then boom

they dead now

and so since that's what happened the one time he let his guard down his walls built up even more and his coping mechanisms got worse than they originally were

so probably thats why he acts the way he does when he finally became Cale

that's why this lovable mfer is so guarded, oblivious and so annoyingly dense

i just want for him to break out of it honestly. it wouldn't even matter to me if he realizes it or not. tbh him not realizing it is probably better. just accept the love being given to you damnit

and i thank you, thank you for coming to my ted talk HAHAHAHAHAHHASDGIUUSTPGW

#...i think i got carried away a bit #am sorry #same thing can be said to dokja honestly #childhood trauma gang lets go #can anyone else relate?#pls dont relate #cale analysis #le rants #trash of the count's family #lout of the count’s family #tcf #cale henituse #lcf #totcf #lotcf #character analysis #character study #kim rok soo

concept: the wizards' cards have textures based on their effects and how often the card is used, like literal playing cards that get worn over time. i know i shared this in the discord but i wanna see how u interpet it with art bc i cant art

AW THANK U FOR COMING TO ME LEAH im flattered u want to see my artistic interpretations omg

I REALLY LIKED THAT IDEA YOU PUT IN THE DISCORD... i never thought that the cards would get worn down over time through heavy use . ITS SUCH A GOOD IDEAAA most of your ideas are so good<33

that being sad i thought about it more in school while i was waiting for a friend to finish up in class and heres what i got

— i feel as if novice decks + cards have a sort of "block" on them - that means there is a spell that prevents newer wizards from putting too much magic into their spells and tiring themselves out quicker. the magic is more stilted, which is why some may fizzle more over others. but they are made specifically for new trainees in mind, so more experienced wizards dont use them.

(i hope the explanation makes sense....)

ANYWAYS . ill do it by groupings so elemental school is up

— i feel as if pyromancers are more prone to burning their cards and decks to a crisp - hence the charred edges around their cards. falmea has to teach novice pyromancers about fire safety and how to safely put out a fire caused by magic (rather than fire caused naturally, imo i think they're two different things)

— as they steadily grow more confident in keeping their flame up and consistent, these types of accidents will stop, and they would stop burning their cards too. however, i think that the charred edges remain simply because it's fire and you're going to expect it to get burned either way. but now there's a more smokey quality to the way that it smells and looks.

also. i think the words and appearance would also get smudged and disappear over time, so they would probably have to rely on their memory or the way that the card feels (or even cast it) to see which one it is.

— ALSO i think all spell cards all look the same, but the corners are marked with the schools colors<3 i think it looks cool

— for thaumaturges i feel as if they would always freeze their cards so that they would be unusable in battle - the magic cant really flow into a spell card when the card itself is just basically a chunk of ice omg

for this, i feel like greyrose would cross some classes with falmea - she teaches the pyromancers how to relax the grip on their flame, and falmea would teach the thaumaturges how to allow themselves to relax, flow out of their rigid state.

— as they learn to control the rate at which their ice magic manifests, their spell cards are instead dusted with a light shade of frost, that which can be easily cleaned off. the words can become a little bit more harder to read and a bit foggier, though, so sometimes they have a chance to cast the wrong spell.

— diviners are 100% wrecking their cards like crazy. some students would have to constantly get new sets of decks or spell cards because storm is such a strong school off the bat - lightning tears through the protective block sometimes, often times making them practically unusable.

some people drop out or switch schools because of this issue - it's too much work to have to constantly replace torn cards or learn how to rework your magic into a better way.

— i think with enough time, diviners can learn how to redirect magic into a more consistent way (because storm magic in general is very inconsistent) -- they are still more likely to tear their cards in a fight, but it starts more at the edges, rather than novices almost tearing huge chunks and bottom/top halves off.

— for conjurers i feel like theyre the types to start bending their cards - perhaps out of nervousness or habit. when you have an uptight teacher like cyrus, i think that kind of manifests itself into other behaviors.

— for some reason, i feel like their cards are more likely to shimmer and shine more. since their school mainly deals with the mind and creativity, the cards and decks reflect that. that being said, it may shimmer too much. to the point where novices can't even make out the creature of the card, and end up summoning the wrong one.

self-explanatory, but sometimes their mind may be clouded by other things, and i like to think that the mind and magic is connected, hence why it will affect the spell cards.

— for necromancers, i feel like when their magic takes the necessary sacrifice, it also ends up taking chunks out of the card too. you can have the right rituals down to perform a spell, but it doesn't mean the sacrificial aspect isn't the part that messes up most novices.

i think after diviners, necromancers come in at a close second at wrecking their cards. sometimes the whole card disappears and you're like "what the heck".

— sacrifice is a core part of the death school, so malorn and dworgyn teach the novices how to make the sacrifices smaller, more localized to the edges of the cards. it's why older, experienced wizards may have cards that look like they've been eaten around the edges.

— for theurgists, i feel like they're the school that doesn't wreck their cards most of the time. there's has to do more with growth than anything else, hence why i think their cards are the ones that are the least replaced.

rather, i think things begin to grow on and around the cards. tiny vines that tear through the spell cards, wrapping around the edges. they can be ignored most of the time, but if a life wizard has their emotions and magic tied particularly close, these vines can and will get out of hand.

— experienced and older theurgists will have these sorts of vines around the corners and edges of their cards, however it may differ on plant type. because magic is different for every person, the flowers that grow there might differ from each person. the spells are worn, but because of life's rejuvinating energy, they look considerably newer compared to other schools.

— AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST... SORCERERS . this one stumped me a lil bit im ngl. i think novices have problems with concentrating on flipping between each of the schools as their attacks and supports demand it.

cards that feel wet and soggy, dried in some places as they use an a elemental school card; cards that look transparent in some places, bits and pieces gone from spiritual schools; spotty and fuzzy writing that comes from using sorcery in their own school.

— ITS... A LOT TO HANDLE. which is also why some people may end up transferring out of balance. i feel like sorcerers may have a class with each of the teachers of the seven schools, to level each of the magics that come with handling all seven of them.

— older sorcerers may get special decks and spell cards to help prevent the spell cards from straight up getting destroyed or unusable. i like to think it has a time factor -- turning back time on the cards appearance so that it lasts longer, just to give a throwback to the sands of time storyline instance in mirage.

#val.answers #wizard101 #w101 #i hope this is what u were looking for omg #this post is... so long.... im sorry to everyone in the tag #BUT YEAHHHH i was thinking on it more at school and i managed to come up with this . i hope u like it<33 #im not sure these explanations make sense but i hope they do omg #long post

I'll never understand how Advanceshippers swear by how their ship is superior to Contestshipping.

Not even throwing shade, (okay maybe a little) but seriously! I get that Drew was a dick in the beginning, but let's face it he was never the bad guy or the ladies man that people made him out to be.

Being loved by women and being a ladies man are two different things. Let's get that straight. He enjoyed his status as a coordinator because he was the shit and he knew it. It wasn't because it got him closer to women. He enjoyed watching his Pokemon shine, and of course- like anyone in his position, he enjoyed being the center of the spotlight as well. Just like Dawn, Harley, May, Solidad, Serena, hell even Ash. It was in his blood to become a coordinator, so guess what?? He did it and was damn good at it. Anyone in his position would have fans. Not to mention Drew obviously showed he was uncomfortable being surrounded by mobs of female fans. It was different if someone came up to him respectfully, but I dont see him thoroughly enjoying having other people obsessively getting in his personal space. Drew is a loner. He doesn't make friends with just anyone.

Next! The thought of him being a bad person for May. Drew is a WONDERFUL person for May. This is non-negotiable. Don't @ me.

Let's start from That's Flower Power.

Yes Drew was very harsh at the beginning, (key word: BEGINNING) and he was snarky and could've been a lil bit nicer, but he wasn't a bad person. He saw May needed help on something, and then immediately took action (attacking Team Rockert and getting their Bluk berries back.) The only reason he was hard on her was because he sees this beginner with potential who doesn't have the exact hang of it yet, so he strives to push her harder. I believe he was snarky to the gang as well due to him noticing her friends are enabling her to accept minor effort. Kinda like how a mom would treat a baby for taking their first bite. Congratulations! You'll get there! That's the thing though, May wasn't a baby. She was a young teen, (I say teen because YES they are 10, but let's face it.. nobody in anime acts their age. They act a little bit older. Hence there is no way in hell 10 year olds would go off with 15 year olds on their own to travel the world) and she needed to be pushed to her limit just enough to see the bigger picture. She didn't know that, the gang didn't know that, hell WE growing up didn't really realize that, but Drew did. It's the truth. The gang enabled her to stay at her mediocre pace. They didn't do anything wrong for that, but they didn't help her reach her potential any bit faster. Drew did though. Each time she surprised him, he got sweeter and gave her a little bit more praise everytime. Yes, he remained harsh, but she still had a lot to learn. Might I add, nobody could push her the way Drew did. There are so many scenes where it shows how much Drew subconsciously pushed her to want to be better. A matter of fact- in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing Max tries to get Ash and May to battle and GUESS WHAT?!?!? May responds, "NO WAY!"

Now this could mostly be from their battle styles being similar, but despite that she openly admits the loss to Solidad was bothering her much more at the time. She WANTED to be better and find her own battling style, but she couldn't yet due to the fact she was depressed from her loss and it was holding her back. All it takes is her and Drew having a 5 second stare-down into each other's eyes for her to get off her ass for the first time in like 5 episodes. That's it. That is all it took. Not to mention even though she lost to him it gave her closure. She admittedly said it herself that she thought she caught up, but he pulled away again. All Drew said was, "Well you gotta keep moving, I guess" and that was the absolute truth. That's all her wanted her to do, was to keep moving no matter what. Keep being. That's another reason I believed she went to Johto. She didn't need Ash and Brock anymore. She needed herself and the things that made her lil coordinator soul light up. She needed change, and she needed Drew. Everyone can say "Oh all Harley and Solidad went too" yeah no shit, and I bet if she found out only Harley was going to the Johto region she would've been like, "LMFAO LET ME GO TO SINNOH" but because of Drew going she decided she wanted to continue following him, because he was her rival.

OKAY NOW TO THE FUN PART!!!

WHEN

HAS

MAY

EVER

BLUSHED

TOWARDS

Ash

LITERALLY NOT EVEN ONCE LMFAO.

Not even in that stereotypical filler episode that almost EVERY Pokegirl gets where some random ass character that nobody ever sees again accuses Ash and the main female character of having feelings with each other. EVEN LANA HAD MORE HINTS OF HAVING FEELINGS FOR ASH, hell at least she blushed 🤷🏼‍♀️ There were seriously never any hints between them two, they were more like siblings. They were so alike it was unreal and that's why May no longer wanted to travel with Ash because it didn't benefit her in the end, which is why she went to follow Drew instead!

Might I add if someone says "weLL iT wAs jUsT a KiDs sHoW tHeY cOuLdNt dO mUcH" just stfu because Serena literally kissed Ash. They got away with so much shit when Pokemon was owned by ForKids that they seriously could have put a kissing scene in there if they wanted to. They could have added *hints* towards Ash and May if they WANTED to, but they chose to show hints towards May and Drew instead since they were the closest thing to canon on the series other than Amourshipping and Pokeshipping. HELL EVEN PEARLSHIPPING HAD MORE HINTS THAN ADVANCESHIPPING but it is an easy comparison when one has things to back them up and the other doesn't have anything to back them up 🤷🏼‍♀️ but we already knew that!!!

Different anon but I also have a question. what does the queen do exactly?? Like is she in charge of the government or is she just a symbol of the government? I am American and thus have no clue

okay i did learn about this when studying law and so im not being like 'god people are so ignorant they should know this, time to do a ranty post about it' im actually more so being like 'it's a little terrifying that we only find out about who has power if we specifically choose subjects that have to teach it' like this should be COMMON KNOWLEDGE IN BRITAIN but a lot of people just.... do not know what the queen does, or the pretty substantial difference between her and the government, so i definitely dont expect an american to know (this is why i specified in that other post to hesitate before saying anything. it wasn't to be rude it's just like. we're fighting for our lives over here as it is besties lmaoo)

so let's get into it!!!! an excuse to dredge up my law a-level for a topic most people go rottweiler mode about when they only have surface level questionably attained information!!! what could go wrong!!!

i would like to specify im going off just the experience of living in england and 2 years doing a law a-level that i was moderately okay at and NOTHING MORE. this is not exhaustive and may very well even be inaccurate. that'll happen when you ask idiots online for their personal rundown of a political topic so dont use this as your baseline. do your own research. seriously.

so in the uk we have a democratically elected government as well as the royal family. the royal family, obviously, have been around for a Long Fucking Time so were NOT chosen by the people, which is where a lot of my person anti-royalist sentiment stems from. the government, however, WERE chosen by the people. hence the whole democracy thing. i promise this is relevant and not me being pedantic. when a law is made, it goes through the house of commons first (the real seat of democracy basically; full of MPs - members of parliament? that one felt obvious but idk if america has that - that have been voted in by the public from each constituency), then the house of lords (full of rich knobheads born into like. literal nobility. or some other pretentious shit that got them title of lord idk i hate them though). these two houses create ✨parliament✨, though they aren't equal bc a while ago im pretty sure there was an act that limited the power the house of lords had, so like i said the real seat of democracy is definitely the house of commons.

to make a law, these blokes all have a little row in westminster and if the majority of them hates it, then nothing can happen, but if the majority of them like it, we have a bill. this is basically a draft. and even just between this bill being created and it getting sent off to be discussed in the house of lords, there is a SHIT TON of stages. like it's read out three different times??? and other stuff???? AND THEN the house of lords debates it, and when they give it the all clear which ultimately they usually do bc like i said they don't have as much power as they used to, the bill is sent off for royal assent.

so now we've got that outlined, it's important to now know that parliament (aka all those democratically appointed people!) have the highest legislative power in the uk. more than the queen does. so when the queen receives this bill, it has been produced, debated, fine-tuned, and debated again about ten times over by the DEMOCRATICALLY APPOINTED PARLIAMENT. all it needs now to become an official law is for her to give it a big ol' tick. literally all royal assent is is queen lizzie going 'yeah this fucks' and there we go.

so imagine if after ALL THAT, the queen looked into the face of democracy and went 'no :/'. legally she has the power to, but socially if she doesn't want to get antoinetted, she actually cannot say no to a law. and she NEVER HAS, and that's why a lot of articles are very misleading like 'guess what queen bitch herself has authorised this time >:(((((' when truthfully, if she said no, it would be even more problematic than the laws themselves, because it would actually infringe on literal democracy. do i hate it bc we've had a tory government for the past decade meaning all laws being created are absolutely abhorrent? yes. yes i do. do i think her refusing their laws, even if it aligned with what i want, would benefit the situation? absolutely fucking not. there would be RIOTS

so what does the queen actually do? jack shit. this is another reason why i hate the monarchy so much, bc not only are they symbols of intense classism and a history of colonisation, but they are living in the lap of luxury on taxpayer money (tax they often see themselves above of!) for doing JACK SHIT. one thing i'll give them is that they bring an UNBELIEVABLE amount of tourism to the uk, but aside that lizzie just sits there with her little hats and corgies doing ceremonies and not much else. and i don't completely begrudge her that! i think taking power from the monarchy and putting it into democratically elected governments was one of the smartest things this dumb place did! even if we are going to democratically elect WANKERS but i digress.

so yeah. old bessie actually has NEGLIGIBLE power these days. i hate her as a symbol. i can respect her as a person.

#like the queen is actually RENOWNED for staying out of politics #which as she should??? bc she's just some lady at the end of the day?? and she's old???#what business does she have ordering about actual politicians even if they are morally corrupt shits???#like when bojo (DETESTED!!!) suspended parliament in like 2019 i think it was #yeah it would have been actually bc that was brexit innit EW i remember the day the election came in so clearly #literal trauma response #anyway #when he suspended parliament it was a HUGE constitutional and democratical row #bc he should NOT have done that at all like most things bojo does #and the queen had no actual right to refuse him even if legally she had the power to #and he KNEW THAT #and the thing with british politics is that the way you have to behave as a politician is INCREDIBLY hinged on our older ways #like honourcodes and duty and shit like that #and the queen is notorious for being incredibly dutybound. she honours her position of limited power even if she doesnt like it #so when he did that the press was less like 'lizzie lets bojo have free reign of the country for kicks'#and more like 'how fucking dare this fucker corner the actual literal queen and DISRESPECT HER like this'#bc that's how little power the queen has despite having some legal power #it was seen as DISRESPECTFUL of the prime minister to ask her to suspend parliament #bc she couldn't actually say no #does that make sense?#basically britain still has MASSIVE ISSUES you're all just looking at the wrong target for most of them #i can point you in the right direction though dw dw we've got PLENTY of wankers in power <3 #*smiling through gritted teeth* i love it here #ask

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE LETTERS - a breakdown / theory post for the letters at the end of Enchanting Grom Fright

sO!!! Someone has been sending Luz’s mom letters, pretending to be Luz. Here’s what we can assume so far.

A transcript of the main letter in focus: “Hi, Mom! I am having a great time at camp. Today we learned what mortgages are! I can’t wait to get home and see you. Let’s do lots of fun mother/daughter activities forever and ever. Love, Your Daughter, LUS LUZ.”

There’s also two more letters that are partially obscured. The text I can make out reads as follows:

“Another beautiful day at camp-” before it gets cut off.

and the other said. “Today I made a friend! Friends are the best. He chased a lot of-” The text is cut off, but on the next frame, it appears to end with “birds.”

So, here’s what I can figure out from these letters and the scenes before.

Someone, not Luz, has been sending Luz’s mom letters, pretending to be her, at camp.

This person has sent multiple letters, at least three.

Luz’s mom believes these letters are coming from her.

Luz’s mom enjoys the letters, and keeps them on her bedside.

Luz has no idea the letters exist.

These’s letters are stilted and formal. There is no personality to them, and the tone is very formal.

The writing is neat and tidy, there are no errors except for one.

Whoever wrote these letters wrote Luz’s name wrong. They spelled it L-U-S instead of L-U-Z.

These letters are written in ink, not in pencil, marker, or anything a kid like Luz would use. They also can’t have been written on a computer. (writing is black and smooth, so not a pencil or anything like that, and if this was written on a computer, the misspelling would’ve been deleted, not crossed out)

Luz’s mom is not concerned by the misspelling of Luz’s name.

One of the letters mentions wanting to do mother/daughter activities “forever and ever” which is a bit unsettling imo, especially if the person sending these isn’t Luz.

So who (or what) could be sending these letters? Here’s a couple theories me (and my sister) have thrown together.

A) my personal favourite, it’s the camp. They’re trying to cover themselves because they lost a kid. This explains why the writing is so like that (this camp is basically a brainwashing camp lets be real, so most people would write like that) and why they got Luz's name wrong at first. They would also try and appeal to Luz’s mom, hence the ‘forever and ever’ stuff.

B) it’s king and or eda. problem being a) I dont think they care about Luz’s mom and b) neither of them have a writing style like that, and they know Luz too well to get her name wrong. Not likely, but I figured I should mention it.

C) from my sister, what if there's a second Luz in the human world or like a clone or something. Because the magic is disrupted due to Luz being in the wrong universe, there’s a second Luz at camp. So like a clone of Luz in the Human world and real Luz in the magic world. Clone Luz is sending the letters, which would explain why they sound so formal.

D) my sister has a second theory that these letters are being send subconsciously by Luz because of Magic, twisting things that happened in the demon world to be things that make sense in the Human world. This would explain the letter that appears to be talking about making a friend who chases bird (king!) In that case, then ‘learning about mortgages’ would be Luz wanting to tell her mom about the magic she learned.

There’s also a possibly someone in the magic world (like the emperors coven) is sending them, though I don’t think that’s likely since I don’t think they care about Luz’s mom (or even know her)

That’s all I got for now, if you have theories lemme know!!

How to parent the types

Most guides detail the scenarios that will screw up a person of each type and land them in therapy or self help group, but what would a positive scenario be?

Since I just saw another funny post about the average age of the userbase increasing, I figured some of you could use this stuff I compiled from various sources. Might also be helpful for handling one's inner toddler

Tl; Dr: Attachment Triad -> give positive reinforcement; Frustration Triad -> Handle with care, gently nudge towards balance; Rejection Triad -> Do not overdiscipline or neglect

Type 1

have some degree of structure, routine & clear rules

encourage fun & humor

emphasize positive feedback & deliver criticism in soft, upbeat ways

dont let them beat themselves up too much

Type 2

don't make fun of their feelings

give praise & affection easily & freely

they will probably try to help you & approach you on a more equal basis fairly early on, hence be mindful not to neglect them, give them too much responsibility or lean on them for emotional support

model good boundaries

Type 3

Need a lot of love, affection & praise actually

Ask them their emotional experience of things & praise non-marketable, non-static traits like their effort & thoughtfulness

they like it when you do projects together or teach them skills (good opportunity also to show that setbacks are ok)

Do not miss their soccer game, school play etc.

Type 4

don't mock their interests or repress their expression, instead encourage creativity or if they wanna do their own thing apart from the family

try to listen & hear them out

avoid the use of negative labels, those can get stuck

don't shut down questioning of conventional wisdom or the status quo with "because i say so"

Type 5

benefit from a hands-off approach, give options & choices; Don't be too critical, clingy or demanding

if you're not sure what they're thinking or feeling just ask.

avoid sudden surprises; If there's a scary or difficult situation, explain exactly what's going to happen and why

dont go overboard trying to "correct" their introversion

Type 6

shelter & provide structure as kids, but also let them assert boundaries, rebel & explore on their own as teens.

Those of the phobic persuasion might need a little push or encouragement to do more independent stuff

be reliable but not overdominant

teach ways to relax & self-soothe

Type 7

they might not show their troubles openly so try to be sensitive

provide emotional support with difficult experiences

motivate with rewards

be mindful of how to discipline - don't be too inflexible/harsh but don't let them charm their way out of everything either

Type 8

as with the 5s these do well with a hand off approach - give them choices, some areas of control and/or free space

treat with respect & dignity

don't overdiscipline or impose too much restriction they'll just rebel more

on the other hand don't completely neglect them just cause they act mature for their age

Type 9

they might be easy to handle but they're still very sensitive, dont let them get ignored in favor of noisier siblings

instead of bossing them around or being too strict, use dialogue - sit down & explain calmly what they did wrong or why they have to do the thing, why its important, why you care etc. you get way less passive aggression this way

just talk to them enough in general

dont overreact to rebellion or misbehavior, its not all bad if they learn to assert themselves or state what they want

That said, one of the best predictors of a kid's later sucess was the parents' ability to narrate their own life story, that is, self-awareness of their own faults. So it might help above all to have a good handle on your own patterns.

Share your Jetko hcs please??

andso the background for these hcs is basically that the ba sing se story arc is abt zuko struggling over his quest for ozai’s approval, his birthright, fire nation supremacy etc vs iroh’s influence to take care of himself, stop chasing after a false dream (as far as i remember iroh doesn’t fully switch sides until book 3 (?). zuko tries iroh’s way but ultimately returns to the fire nation with azula. he wasn’t satisfied with working in a tea shop w iroh (hence that weird post fever optimism ooc stuff.. what was With that).

as for jet, he has decided to “go straight,” leave the forest and stop fighting fire nation people. he wants a little peace, but he’s still in survival mode, looking for threats everywhere. i feel like he wasn’t quite ready to leave his life behind.

in each other they might find a different way of living in this city - together. jetko doesn’t work after jet finds out theyre firebenders. so imo this could only really happen if jet doesn’t spoke iroh fire bending.

so.... headcanons.

neither of these boys have had friends their age before. zuko was the leader on his ship, and jet led his band of merry fire fighters. theyve never really had fun for its own sake before. so i think they see in each other an equal, who both get up to as much trouble as the the other does.

jet’s far more comfortable w his sexuality (seems bi to me) and he’s the more forward of the two. he’s the one who reaches out to zuko first and i don’t see that changing much. i can imagine that after they part ways on the boat, they happen across each other and have to work together to solve some kind of problem. maybe someone steals something from zuko and jet helps him replace it or something. zuko wouldnt start helping jet’s crew out of the kindness of his heart. bk 2 zuko is selfish. he’d work with jet (at first) bc he gets something out of it. then maybe he starts learning to be less single minded about finding the avatar/conforming to iroh’s expectations, and start leaning into the goodness he does have. it would take a while though. as for jet, he sees a useful ally who happens to be hot. hes a simple boy what can i say lol

as they spend more time togetther, i imagine they’d escalate their activities . maybe start fucking around with the dai li or gangs that operate in the lower ring. maybe fucking up businesses that rip ppl off. theyre both kind of rebelling - zuko against both his dad and iroh, and jet against the freedom fighters who want him to settle down. .but these are two messed up teen boys. they lash out and destroy stuff and push each other on.

zuko has a lot to hide about himself. he would share very little about himself to jet. and i think jet would get it. he wouldnt pressure him to talk - he is used to silence, being friends w longshot after all. they’d just spend time together. and maybe through that silence, zuko would begin to share a little more about himself and his family in ways that didnt give away his identity. as for jet, he loves to brag abt the shit he’s done, and he’d talk abt the wrongs done to him by the fire nation, but there would be lots of things he doesnt talk about- how scared he is, how much he worries abt his freedom fighters, guilt he might feel about his past actions.but he plays it cool.

imagine the sparring between these two. i think jet would be one of those guys really into warrior male. he’d love getting sweddy w some ripped sword wielding dude. he’d call zuko his brother but in a gay way.

i dont think zuko would ever acknowledge whats happening between them. like, i doubt they would have a romantic kiss, but def would mess around in a way that it was just guys being dudes it doesnt mean anything we’re just letting off steam bro..

i dont think zuko would acknowledge to himself that maybe he did want to kiss jet until after he got back to the fire nation. he may or may not be into mai, but something is definitely missing from that relationship and maybe when he’s kissing mai he’s wishing he got to kiss jet too.

jets got a big chip on his shoulder. when iroh and zuko get invited up to the upper ring, jet definitely feels betrayed. he might go up to visit zuko at the jasmine dragon one day, cause a big scene bc zuko doesn’t act happy enough to see him (bc umm... iroh is there.. he doesn’t know abt us bro) and thinks its bc zuko thinks he’s too good for him now

they are both prone to anger, right? we zuko has a temper and have low frustration tolerance. however jet’s hotheadedness is linked to a tenuously inflated ego. he reacts very poorly to slights. zuko doesnt notice slights half the time. conversely jet can keep his cool until triggered by something. so he balances of zuko’s impulsivity/lashing out bc of small irritation.

but always... as soon as jet begins to suspect zuko is fire nation its over. and zuko knows it. its not exactly healthy. but there is something there. in an ideal world, jetko would end with jet never figuring out who zuko was. he would just fondly remember that sexi dao sword dude he used to mess around w . wonder whatever happened to lee ? yk...

002 for gercanmano please?

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

GerCanMano

when I started shipping it.

Maybe a year to two years ago? It’s hard to say I can’t really remember. I don’t know what sparked it, but either way I know it started with my friend Lemon. Either we were doing things with the BFT and I had made a joke about baby BFT with Romano, Germany and Canada and it just developed discussions from there. Or it was me struggling between the three proponent ships and Lemon being like ‘why don’t you just make them a poly’ and like sun coming out from behind the clouds it finally dawned on me by the power of citrus. Either way it was something I kept messing with, and the more I talked about it the more people hopped on board with me. We’re still just a raft in a sea of ships but I made this baby and I’m proud of it.

I will say I have had a lot of people talk to me like I made it, and while I do want to take some credit cause I put a lot of time into them, I have heard it used to be a ship back in the old hetalia days. But I haven’t found any old fanworks of it. And trust me I scoured every fic and art site I could think of. Maybe it was something only seen in RP groups so it never got published fic or art but I crave content for it so if it was originally a thing and there’s content around let me know please I don’t wanna take credit for it fully but I have not found another person who shipped it before they talked to me.

my thoughts:

Literally some of the only serotonin I get in these trying times. I love them so much they make me so happy. An unbelievably strong power house trio who could do damn near about anything together. They have it all.

I could go on for hours about small scenarios or aus with them. Like I’m a multi-shipper but fuck man they’re my OTP. I can and do ship other things with them, but man they make me melt with joy.

I made a playlist for it, I’m still building it but I like ti so far. I wish I could find more three person love songs but for now I have songs for each of the three lads, and the three ships that make up it, so it works! Might change some of them but I like what I have so far!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC4nWN-9zrnEOeLgihkaqQOpPO6nEnc81

Germany and Romano: A Lovely Night and If I Could Tell Her

Romano and Canada: Best Worst Mistake

Canada and Germany: Guy That I’d Kind of Be Into

Germany General: When He Sees Me and Little Miss Perfect (President Perfect)

Romano General: I Won’t Say I’m in Love (so original I know)

Canada General: Would You Be So Kind? and Piece of Art

What makes me happy about them:

Literally everything. Their characters, the dynamics, the growth they create together. They may not work in every story of mine but when they work they really work. They push each member of the ship to grow as a person. Germany finding support he may not have originally had, Canada finding the confidence and support in a group that won’t forget him, Romano finally feeling safe enough to open up to others in a way he didn’t feel safe doing before. It’s just the good fucking food. You can put it in different settings and it just works, they’re able to play off one another in a really great way and pull them out of their comfort zones in ways that other ships don’t hit me as hard with.

What makes me sad about them:

That I am literally one of the only people who makes content for it. I have scoured the internet I can’t find anything, ANYTHING. And often I cannot get people to follow me on it, I’ve been getting more people on board slowly but surely but STILL-- That or they really try to push the whole ‘i ship it with (ship thats similar but with one of the brothers swapped out for the other)’ on me when I’m talking about it and I’m just like. I asked for GerCanMano I didn’t ask for your opinion. I’ve thought about the other ship conbo’s with their other brothers, I just like this one the best.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

When this ship is treated as a lesser to other ships around the three characters. People going like well I think it would be better if it was ‘swaps one of the brothers out for the other’ but that’s not the point. Also this is a general problem I have with Germano/GerCan as well but people making it all about their family’s or brothers reactions and how it effects their brothers instead of their relationship. ESPECIALLY between Romano and Italy.

It’s almost always a cheating on their ‘true love’ or some sort of affair fic and it doesn’t focus on their love and living together and more about them bouncing around to avoid getting caught and I just don’t care enough. I just want to see them in a loving happy relationship, and interacting with one another. Prussia, America’s and ESPECIALLY Italy’s reactions don’t matter to me. When it comes to say GerIta fics, there are a few that address Romano’s feelings toward Italy’s relationship, but not all of them. Hell some of them don’t have a mention or hair of Romano, but when the position is reversed with Germano suddenly even if he’s not in the fic it’s all about how Italy feels about it or how it effects him or hiding it from him.

I dont want to watch Germany go back and forth about which Italy brother he likes while dating both. It’s one just not in character and two its uncomfortable. I read this fic for the gercanmano Im not here to hear that Germany’s cheating on and warring with his feelings toward Italy or Canada sleeping around behind Prussia’s back. It’s boring and I’m tired of reading it. I’m digging into specifics of the three component ships cause there are no fanfics of GerCanMano so I can’t talk about what annoys in their base fics.

I had like one person write GerCanMano into their RusPrus fic, which was cool. but then they were a nazi apologist. So I can’t exactly read it anymore. I have nothing else to compare to but the base three ships of Germano, GerCan and Canmano

Things I look for in fanfic I don’t ask much I just want them to exist without me having to write all of them. I wanna find content other people have made, not that I’m lazy and think peopel should make content for me, just that I get bored of reading my own writing. If I wanna be really picky, letting it be a quickly established relationship and getting to see them in the relationship, learning about each other living together dealing with problems together that doesn’t just have them break up after one fight.

Having them in a functioning relationship before the story is over. Letting that relationship blossom past the start or the first date before the fic is finished. It’s sad when a romance story ends with them getting together cause there’s so much more relationship to have-- ;^; what about cooking together and cuddles on the couch and date nights and small fights and family gatherings--

My happily ever after for them:

It’s hard to write a happily ever after for nations or for anything to be honest cause life keeps going, growing, changing etc. But I’d love them to have a wedding and just a calm, slice of life kind of life together. A nice house, a big garden, a pond in the back where in the winter Germany and Canada can ice skate. A nice big garage where Germany and Romano can work on cars, Maybe near the woods so they can all go hiking,

Nothing fancy. A nice place that smells like warm coffee in the morning, that’s lively with sound of loved ones and shenanigans during the day and quiet whispers of affection at night. They get together but meetings are less boring, they have plans with their family and friends. Spain, France and Prussia loving to tease their little siblings/kids about things and make sure they’re doing okay. Veneziano always trying to help Romano come up with romantic shenanigans to use against his husbands. America just being happy his bro is happy.

Just soft wholesome life stuff. ;;

My kinks:

These are going below for discussions of not safe for work topics. I’m not going light so dive below at your own risk. (sex discussion, kink discussion, general ns//fw content)

I exclusively write top Canada. Like, I just do. I don’t really draw or write him taking it, I don’t know why I just don’t. Doesn’t mean he isn’t put under someone’s thumb in bed, but they’re still riding. There are very very few instances where I have written him taking. Again I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just the concept of soft pastel uwu boy slamming Germany into a wall, maybe it’s the thought of Canada in heels and leather just with the vibe of ‘go ahead tell them. no one will believe you’.

Canada isn’t any kinkier than Germany, but he’s more confident than Germany about it. He’s got a little bit of jealous neediness in the back of his brain so when it comes to sex he loves when his partner’s attention is on him. He loves to spoil and get spoiled and is the roughest of the three. Just a tiny, tiny bit of masochism/sadism. Very small. It’s very much he’ll do it (with safe words set in place and everything) but he will feel eh about it afterward and make sure that they don’t take away that he hates them or anything. In the inverse hes very very good at fluffing people up and body worship, as well as demeaning talk. Loves role-playing, hence slipping into the mind where he’s got the confidence to throw Germany around the bedroom. He loves especially tying them up and just watching them writhe-

Germany is a switch, fight me on it. If you think that man who has very little canon confidence with romance and no experience is a 100% big daddy top you’re just wrong I’m not sorry. Mind you, he can top and he often does, but being rough and demanding and forceful is not something he’s good at he’s so nervous about injuring his partner, even if they tell him it’s fine.

Germany is into all the rough play, like it’s canon. He loves to tie and be tied up and he likes when power is taken away from him. He likes when people push him under their thumb it’s why Canada gets to be rough with him. But at the same time, Germany is the most wholesome lover out of the three. Because it can be so hard to coax him out of his shell with his kinks, he can often be the inverse. Very gentle, very praising. Absolutely loves to body worship his partners. He’s not really all that good or comfortable with giving people blow jobs, however he loves kisses and touches all over. Mind you getting a blowjob is something he really enjoys, hes just not good at giving. Good thing that both his boyfriends are amazing at it. Favorite thing the two do is Canada having Germany Ride him and then Matteo either riding him on top or giving him head during.

Romano oh, Romano. He’s a bottom. The most bottom-y bottom. An absolute pillow princess and a brat wanting to be tamed. He tops very very rarely, and out of the three has the most experience both giving and receiving and with all different partners. Even if he’s bottoming doesn’t mean he’s always at the whim of his partners though, he loves riding.

Romano is the least kinky out of the three, while the other two enjoy being tied up, Romano isn’t really a fan, he doesn’t mind collars or handcuffs but full shibari like what Canada or Germany would be fine with doesn't really fly for him. As I said before, he’s also the loudest, and gets very whiny when left to hang (not like either of them mind the noise). Romano loves giving and receiving blow jobs/hand jobs. Especially giving. It’s how he gets the good vibes of watching his partner squirm in the good way. He also loves to leave nibbles scratches bites and hickies if he’s allowed to. Catch him giving Germany a bite right above his collar before a meeting. Despite what might be expected, he can roll with degradation in bed really well but he falls apart quick with praise. He likes both but he will tear up when Germany gets overly gushy and feelsy. Loves double penetration and being spit-roasted.

Introducing my newest child: ZIRI!!

Pinterest | Character Page | Faceclaim

Watching The Legend of Korra made me have doubts about Shen not having kids plus iroh II is fucking GORGEOUS so its only natural that I made a new oc to accomodate to both lmao

I’ve been waiting years to use Ziyi as a faceclaim so now I finally can!!! also: if you couldn’t already tell i love the ‘best friends to lovers’ and ‘slow burn’ tropes then you sure af are behind

More info under the cut:

Ziri means ‘Moonlight’ in Berber

when Shen was in her early 50s she found Ziri literally abandoned on her doorstep as a baby in the middle of the night (hence the name ziri)

Shen doesn’t do romance of any kind (only once and it was a v sad ending) so she definitley didn’t intend on having her own children

when she was a little older Shen opened an orphanage/home at her ‘Elders’ temple to help any youngsters like herself effected by the war

years after this orphanage had grown and became its own running service, Zizi appeared

its unknown who her parents were as there was nothing in her basket aside from Ziri herself and a very tattered blanket

ziri has the somewhat ‘typical’ appearance of a fully blooded firebender - tho she has dark blue eyes (meaning one parent was of a water tribe/a waterbender and the other was a firebender)

shen took her in and raised her more like her own child in the woods of her temple until ziri was 6

later discovered she was a firebender - and with enough connections to the fire nation and its rulers (her bff is the firelord after all) - she took her back ‘home’ where she could grow up around others like herself

ziri made a point she was keen to train and learn, wanting to know as much as she could about practically everything

was always picked on a bit by other kids her age tho for being abandoned/raised in the woods etc

was raised by her mumma to respect and help anyone she meets tho, only using conflict when utterly necessary

ziri is a fair bit stubborn however, and took pride in being small but FIESTY in any fight

did she cause most fights? yes.

was she protecting someone who couldn’t defend themselves? most of the time...

developed a very specific skill set in being sneaky - and a bit of a trouble maker - which later developed into a career

became a very skilled and powerful firebender at an early age - much to her teaches surprise (we love to see a dedicated baby make a name for herself)

grew up surrounded by team avatar (was considerably younger than the rest of the crews kids tho so she was seen as the baby sister)

not only the main gang, ziri found a fast friendship with Iroh II (only natural when his grandfather and her mother were so close)

progressed fast with her training and worked her way up the militaries ranks just as Iroh did, soon being the Commander to his General for a lot of United Republic work

formed a v close bond with iroh tho nothing romantic came of it for some while - were together for a year of so before... the next point

3 years prior to the events of TLOK: lost her position after an argument with Iroh regarding the possession and distribution of illegal substances within the ranks (she basically used her super sneakiness to get these ‘hard to find’ items - *cough* sometimes drugs *coughs* - at the request of her fellow soldiers)

basically walked out on their relationship and her job too

had already decided that being a soldier wasn’t for her - especially when half the people around her took one look at her stature and paid her no respect - even as their superior (see, stubborness)

left for 3 years, being hired/assigned the role of ‘scout/spy’ by the current firelord (Iroh’s mother) after seeing her sneaky/stealthy abilities in action

returned for many adventures in Republic City, meeting Korra and the new team avatar before later becoming friends/allies

had a complicated and messy reunion with Iroh:

they kissed

turned out he was engaged

she avoided him again

found out his fiance was going for the thrown and wanted to take out his whole family to get there

no one believed ziri

proved them all wrong when the fiance attempted to kill him and his mother

dont worry all ends well - rekindled her trust and friendship with iroh before getting back together and living HaPpIlY eVeR aFtEr

(more stuff happens but this ‘basic info’ is already too fuckin long so if you made it this far congrats! you have more patience than i do.)

#oc: ziri #atla oc #tlok oc #hellp my name is jess and im addicted to making ocs #i need to stop now #this is getting out of hand #i need to stop finding new shows/films/games to become obsessed with that what i need #she says as shes started aot and is already considering making a character for that ffs #anyway tagging some peeps #tommymillers #chuckhansen #noonvvraith #simonxriley #ifans #shadowglens #trvelyans #buckravers #enjoy this long af messssssss #my ocs
