Friendly reminder that Wix.com is an Israeli-based company (& some website builders to look into instead)
I know the BDS movement is not targeting Wix.com specifically (see here for the companies they're currently boycotting) but since Wix originated in Israel as early as 2006, it would be best to drop them as soon as you can.
And while you're at it, you should leave DeviantArt too, since that company is owned by Wix. I deleted my DA account about a year ago not just because of their generative AI debacle but also because of their affiliation with their parent company. And just last month, DA has since shown their SUPPORT for Israel in the middle of Israel actively genociding the Palestinian people 😬
Anyway, I used to use Wix and I stopped using it around the same time that I left DA, but I never closed my Wix account until now. What WAS nice about Wix was how easy it was to build a site with nothing but a drag-and-drop system without any need to code.
So if you're using Wix for your portfolio, your school projects, or for anything else, then where can you go?
Here are some recommendations that you can look into for website builders that you can start for FREE and are NOT tied to a big, corporate entity (below the cut) 👇👇
Carrd.co
Tumblr media
This is what I used to build my link hub and my portfolio, so I have the most experience with this platform.
It's highly customizable with a drag-and-drop arrangement system, but it's not as open-ended as Wix. Still though, it's easy to grasp & set up without requiring any coding knowledge. The most "coding" you may ever have to deal with is markdown formatting (carrd provides an on-screen cheatsheet whenever you're editing text!) and section breaks (which is used to define headers, footers, individual pages, sections of a page, etc.) which are EXTREMELY useful.
There's limits to using this site builder for free (max of 2 websites & a max of 100 elements per site), but even then you can get a lot of mileage out of carrd.
mmm.page
Tumblr media
This is a VERY funny & charming website builder. The drag-and-drop system is just as open-ended as Wix, but it encourages you to get messy. Hell, you can make it just as messy as the early internet days, except the way you can arrange elements & images allows for more room for creativity.
Straw.page
Tumblr media
This is an extremely simple website builder that you can start from scratch, except it's made to be accessible from your phone. As such, the controls are limited and intentionally simple, but I can see this being a decent website builder to start with if all you have is your phone. The other options above are also accessible from your phone, but this one is by far one of the the simplest website builders available.
Hotglue.me
Tumblr media
This is also a very simple & rudimentary website builder that allows you to make a webpage from scratch, except it's not as easy to use on a mobile phone.
At a glance, its features are not as robust or easy to pick up like the previous options, but you can still create objects with a simple double click and drag them around, add text, and insert images or embeds.
Mind you, this launched in the 2010s and has likely stayed that way ever since, which means that it may not have support for mobile phone displays, so whether or not you wanna try your hand at building something on there is completely up to you!
Sadgrl's Layout Editor
Tumblr media
sadgrl.online is where I gathered most of these no-code site builders! I highly recommend looking through the webmaster links for more website-building info.
This simple site builder is for use on Neocities, which is a website hosting service that you can start using for free. This is the closest thing to building a site that resembles the early internet days, but the sites you can make are also responsive to mobile devices! This can be a good place to start if this kind of thing is your jam and you have little to no coding experience.
Although I will say, even if it sounds daunting at first, learning how to code in HTML and CSS is one of the most liberating experiences that anyone can have, even if you don't come from a website scripting background. It's like cooking a meal for yourself. So if you want to take that route, then I encourage to you at least try it!
Most of these website builders I reviewed were largely done at a glance, so I'm certainly missing out on how deep they can go.
Oh, and of course as always, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

5e homebrew for disability pride month
hey yall :D since it's disability pride month and i am a Local Disabled TM i wanted to spotlight the d&d 5e homebrew i've done featuring disability mechanics!! they're all FREE / PWYW and available on itch!!
autism & adhd mechanics
traits for mechanically emphasizing a character's autism and/or adhd!! there's 11 traits total, with 5 shared between them, and 3 each that are specific to autism and adhd. the traits are beneficial, detrimental, and a mix of both, intended for 1-3 to be chosen for a single character. includes traits like sensory processing disorder, time blindness, and rejection sensitive dysphoria
service monsters
service animals - monster edition! you choose a customizable base for your monster, a statblock, and origin, and then get to choose your service type: guiding, hearing, mobility, medical alert, trauma, schizophrenia, or autism! each service type has a unique monster with different abilities, strengths, and magic. service monsters can't be used in combat but they have resistance to all damage and go to a pocket dimension upon dropping to 0hp
trauma mechanics
10 traits for panic disorder, ptsd, and cptsd, with an included definitions section and suggestions for trait application. includes mechanics for triggers, as well as for traits like panic attacks, insomnia, hypervigilance, and trust issues. the traits include different outcomes for meeting the dc or failing by different margins, and the aftereffects of failing a save, as well as ways that allies can help
my inspiration for making these was that i'm an autistic, mentally ill, traumatized disabled person who's been an active and leading disability advocate for the last 9 years and a disability-specialist social worker for 2.5 of those. definitely still room for improvement with my homebrew but i think there always will be when trying to put the incredibly varied human experience of disability into a crunchy numbers&rules format :o)
if you liked them please consider throwing some dollars my way either on itch or on my kofi as i get ready to head to grad school to study gamification in the mental health & disability space!! you can also check out the rest of my 5e homebrew here!
happy disability pride month to all, go run over some toes

Playing a Heroic Necromancer in DnD 5e
Tumblr media
Necromancy is one of the most evil-skewed powers in just about any fantasy setting. However, unless you're running a villain campaign, most DnD parties are made up of heroes who won't like having an evil character in their midst. You want to play a necromancer, but you also realize that DnD is a very collaborative game. So, how do you make your party more amicable towards the thought of you raising a family? Here's some possible backstory ideas that can fuel a heroic necromancer for your next campaign.
Tumblr media
The Scholar
The taboo, illegal, or forbidden nature of studying necromancy drew your interest. Whether you studied with a secret sect, uncovered a grimoire of necromantic magic, or made a deal with a devil for profane knowledge, you were driven by a desire to study magic. The sparse availability of necromancy forces you to remain mobile, making party formation easy. You may be hunted by law enforcement, clerics of Kelemvor, or other necromancers angry at you for stealing their arcane secrets. And now that you know what so many tried to hide from you, it's your choice how to use it.
Tumblr media
The Chronicaller
History is written by the victors, the rich, and the powerful. But every life holds valuable knowledge and secrets. Ancient bones know things lost to time. Knowledge that was never written down. Stories which have not been spoken in centuries. Opinions of the common people during a historical event. Experience with phenomenon that can no longer be encountered. The Chronicaller wishes to unearth the secrets of the past already laid to rest.
Tumblr media
The Physician
The Frankenstein of Necromancers wishes to understand the medical and scientific elements of life and death itself. To understand the body by inspecting it and digging into it. They may study how to cure diseases or how to spread them. Try to find a way to slow or even halt the slow decomposition that turns the body elderly and frail.
Tumblr media
The Thayan Rebel
Once a Red Wizard of Thay, you have left Thay and the Red Wizards, letting your hair grow back slowly as you seek to expand your arcane talents beyond the limitations of Thayan conquest and oppression. The Red Wizards and Szas Tam become personal antagonists for your character and party as a result.
Tumblr media
The Undead
Be they a Revenant, a Dhampir, a Vampire, a Lich, or something else, they are already imbued with undead power. They simply embrace their anti-life energy already flowing through them, channeling a power most others would avoid. You may be undead, but you desire to staunchly defend the living from other undead who are less compassionate.
Tumblr media
The General
A wizard with a soldier background and optional martial multiclassing, your undead horde is your army of loyal soldiers, putting their lives on the line again and again to serve their general. An Oathbreaker 7/wizard 6 adds your CHA mod to undead within 10 ft, and proficiency bonus to all undead you control. But the steep dip into paladin locks you out from higher level spell slots for stronger undead minions.
Tumblr media
The Noble
Similar to the general, the undead serve you out of loyalty, not fear or force. But where the general commands their soldiers, the Noble may command their staff of servants, their commoner citizens, their knights and soldiers, or their own noble ancestors. The Noble utilizes their horde to fulfil the services and duties of their noble house. They're just as likely to conscript skeletons to pave a road or build a bridge as they are to form a wave of zombies to break up a smuggling ring in their city.
Tumblr media
The Immortal Guardian
You have or want to become immortal not out of power hunger or greed, but to protect the innocent forever as an unwavering guardian against evil. Everyday people can't protect themselves, and even legendary heroes die eventually. Only an immortal protector can be an eternal defender of the people.
Tumblr media
I hope if nothing else, this gave you some ideas for some good and noble necromancers you could bring to your next table. Did I miss any Heroic concepts that you thought of? Let me know, and help make the world a more morbid place.

felis catus
Reposted due to formatting issues (damn mobile) Pairing: Dottore x neko!reader CW: petplay, shock collars, spanking, medical experimentation Word Count: 2.1k
Tumblr media
Perhaps it was your fault. You had been the one to swipe at him. However, that crazy doctor was asking for it. He’d been much too handsy, leaving no part of you untouched as he examined you. He’d poked you one too many times with one too many syringes filled with who knows what. 
Yes, Dottore certainly had it coming. You felt no remorse. 
So now here you were: your face pressed painfully against the cold, metal examination table, hands painfully twisted behind your back. You looked up at Dottore with glinting, furious eyes. 
“Let me go!” You hissed, your tail swished angrily as if you were trying to smack him with it. Unfortunately, you did not get that satisfaction.
Tumblr media
“Now, why would I do that?” Dottore tilted his head mockingly. “When I started this experiment, I initially thought you’d only gain cosmetic features, could it be you’re becoming more feline-like, psychologically?” 
“Screw you! That isn’t what’s happening!” 
You always wondered how you got here. You came to the Second Harbinger willingly. You were always a sickly individual-- and you had been desperate enough to volunteer yourself as a test subject with the hopes that Dottore would be able to cure your ailments. However, instead of being relieved of any of your symptoms, you now found yourself with cat ears and a tail. Dottore’s current scientific endeavors were… interesting to say the least. You’d protested of course, but research consent isn’t really a thing in this laboratory. If this were fantasy, you’d find it to be a comedy. But since it was your life… 
Well, it wasn’t so funny then. 
“Or perhaps you were always catty,” Dottore laughed. “You’re certainly not a cooperative subject. I suppose we’ll simply have to observe you further for definite results …” 
“You better not turn me into an actual cat,” You squirmed indignantly, trying to escape his grasp. 
Dottore brushed his hand against your hair, burying it in your locks as he pressed your head down.
“If you continue to fight me, I just might. Though, that would be a bit disadvantageous for me.” 
The harbinger reached a hand out, using a slim finger to scratch behind your cat ears. It's embarrassing to admit that it felt nicer than it should. You shook your head, your ears twitching with irritation. 
“Don’t do that! I’m not your pet!” 
“Aren’t you?” 
“Of course not!”
Dottore clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. The two are quite similar. However, the line between a test subject and a pet blurs when it comes to someone with your qualities, no?”
You finally manage to break free but before you can even turn around, Dottore once again pins you down, this time holding you by the scruff. “Hold still, will you?” He snapped. 
You’ve certainly heard that tone before. Perhaps it’s in your best interests to not retaliate further. 
“As I was saying, if you were a test subject, I suppose I should dissect you now. See how many pieces of you I can replace or modify before your body rejects them. A very grisly fate, but nothing you aren’t used to seeing here…” 
A dark grin formed on his masked face. 
“If you were a pet, I’d still take you apart-- just more slowly. I wouldn’t kill you so quickly. Perhaps I’d even let you choose what I alter,” Dottore shrugged. “Hmph, the choice is yours though. I respect my subjects’ wishes.”
You mentally scoffed at that. Dottore was certainly as much of a hypocrite as he was insane. 
Still, you preferred to keep your organs intact for as long as possible. 
“Fine. I’ll choose the latter.” 
“A wise decision.” 
Dottore leans in your ear, his mask tickling the delicate furred skin. 
“I suppose the first thing I should do, then, is punish you for scratching me. Such a disobedient pet needs to be trained before we can go any further.” 
You stayed silent, seething. You wanted to turn around and punch Dottore right in the face. You hated how he dehumanized you, how he saw you as nothing more than something to tinker and play with. 
But you knew how he was when you came here, why did you think you’d be any different? 
Dottore continued to press against you, keeping you in place as he rummaged in a drawer beside him. After a bit, he pulled out a shock collar clearly meant for animals. He dangled it in front of your face. 
“Do you know what this is?”
Your eyes widened and you grit your teeth. 
“Don’t you dare-” 
Click. 
Dottore fastened the collar around your neck and pressed the button in the middle of it. A sharp jolt of electricity shocked you. You cried out in surprise and pain. 
“This collar reacts to any vibrations in your vocal chords. It’s usually meant to prevent dogs from barking,” Dottore explained. 
His voice is basically dripping with anticipation. You can’t see his face, but you knew he most certainly had that shit- eating grin plastered on his face.
“In other words, if you use that unruly mouth of yours, you're going to get a nasty shock.” 
You scowled.
“That's- OW!” 
You yelped as you were once again shocked. 
Dottore laughed at your reaction. He kept you bent over the table as he slid your thin gown up, exposing your underwear. He rubbed your butt gently. You instantly stiffened. 
“And now it's time for your punishment.”
With that, he spanked you. Hard.
You cried out involuntarily. Sure enough, the collar shocks you almost as soon as you make such a  sound. You struggled wildly to get out of his grip. You couldn’t see it, but Dottore was looking down at you with sadistic glee. He was clearly enjoying your predicament. 
“Oh my dear, didn't I tell you that you have to be quiet?” He simpered, his voice sickeningly sweet. “You must be a slow learner.” 
Dottore spanked you again. And again. You grit your teeth, trying not to cry out. Your fingernails scratched the metal table as you pathetically tried to grip onto something. You turned, your eyes meeting Dottore as you glared at him with silent contempt. He stopped, leaning in close. His gloved hand stroked your cheek, a sympathetic smirk on his face. 
“Now, now, sweetheart. Don’t look at me like that. You know you deserved this. But fear not, if you’re good at enduring this, I’ll be sure to reward you.” 
Dottore  kissed you on the head before hitting you one more time, much harder than before. You let out a choked cry, burying your head as best you could into the cold metal. He grabbed your ass once again, rubbing the tender, red skin as if to rub the pain in. You whimpered softly-- which thankfully doesn’t set off the collar. 
“Very good. You’re learning, pet. But there’s still so much more for you to learn. So much more for you to experience.” 
Dottore raised his arm, using his teeth to pull his glove off before throwing it on the surface next to you. 
“And I’m going to be here to teach you every step of the way.” 
Your breathing hitched as his hand moved under your butt, feeling your crotch. He pressed his hand against the fabric of your underwear, his index finger grazing your slit. He instantly noticed how wet you actually are despite your apparent displeasure. He laughed aloud and you blushed, humiliation painting your cheeks red. 
“Oh, my little experiment. Look how wet you are. Are you enjoying this? Could this little brat actually be a masochist?”
“No way! Ow!” 
“Oho, careful, dear,” He murmured. 
You gasped as Dottore began to play with you through your underwear. You let out a small whimper as pleasure runs up your spine. This is more enjoyable than it should be. You’re so embarrassed you can’t even think. Dottore soon found your sensitive clit, rolling the bud lazily between his forefinger and thumb, squeezing and kneading until it grew engorged and aroused. Your mind began to go hazy as your breathing became heavier. Your tail flicked and curled as you involuntarily spread your legs. 
He chuckled. 
“Aw, look at you. You’re practically getting off just by my teasing,” Dottore mocked. “Are you that much of a slut? If I’d known that, I would’ve done this ages ago.” 
You pant, looking at the doctor from the corners of your eyes with a lustful expression. Your mind was swimming. You could feel his hardened member against your thigh. You should feel horrified, but instead your mind began to wander. The way he’s playing with you right now is more of a tease than anything. You wonder what it’d be like to feel something that large inside you…
“Hmm… Since you took your punishment quite nicely, I suppose you deserve a little reward.” 
You could hear him unzip his pants. Your underwear slipped to the ground. Soon, you felt his warm, erect cock against your bare cunt, wet and hot, yearning to be filled. 
You don’t have to wait long. He soon pressed himself into you. Your walls welcomed him, hugging his cock as he set a slow, methodic pace. You swore you could feel the veins of his member as he brushed against your bumps and grooves with each thrust. 
“Nngh…” 
You covered your mouth, trying not to let out a moan that you know would warrant a shock. 
“Tsk, now that won’t do.” 
Dottore suddenly plunged into you, setting a brutal pace. It’s only then that you cry out. The collar shocked you for every lewd noise you spew. The pain mixed with the pleasure… It's too much. You didn’t know if this is a reward or torture of the worst kind. You could feel yourself become tighter as your breathing hitched before you let out a pathetic, choked scream. Your cum spilled on Dottore’s dick as your orgasm painted your vision white. You shuddered, breathing shakily as your orgasm overtook you. 
But the mad scientist isn’t done with this test yet. Dottore continued to fuck you through your orgasm, the dulling pleasure lolling over you like waves before you’re suddenly overtaken once more by another building climax. He grabbed your leg, bending it up against the table surface as he pressed even further against you. From this angle, he penetrated you even deeper than before. Dottore gripped your hips tight enough to leave marks as he thrusted deeper and faster. You swore you heard him growl once or twice in your ear, obviously pleasured as much by you as you were of him. 
Did you just come again? You aren’t even sure anymore. 
You can feel tears prick your eyes, the overstimulation becoming unbearable. You don’t know if you’re feeling pain or pleasure at this point as you sob and whimper and moan against the table. Your belly bulged uncomfortably, a part of you is actually frightened that he’s going to pierce through your womb at this rate. 
Dottore saw your anguish and  kissed you once more. This time, you found a strange reassurance in it. 
“You’re doing so well, pet. Admit it. You love being used like this don’t you?”
“M…hm…” 
“What was that?” 
“Yes…” 
“Yes, who?” 
“Yes, master.” 
Dottore laughed softly, licking your salty tears. Your crying excited him more, you could feel his thrusts becoming more sloppy and uncoordinated as he got closer to climaxing. 
“Good girl,” He panted. “Tell me what you are. What you are to me.”
“I’m..your… pet.” 
“That’s correct.” 
Dottore groaned, letting his semen fill your womb. He pulled out and you instantly slumped against the table like a ragdoll. You don’t even have the energy to stand up, so you just sort of lay there, breathing heavily and shivering. You peered at Dottore with half-lidded eyes. Dottore adjusted himself before picking you up. You’re clearly in no position to walk in your fucked-out state, instead opting to curl up in his arms, burying your face in his shirt. He smiled down at you. 
“My little pet. Aren’t things much nicer when you’re obedient?”

==> You have three doors
DOOR ONE: Reading Homestuck using the Unofficial Collection
Pro: Everything is immaculately preserved at the highest quality. Official HS took beautiful animations and turned them into 360p fuzzy horseshit. UHSC has everything in HQ.
Pro: Navigation controls. I set everything to "auto open pesterlogs" and then use arrow keys to go to the next page when I'm done. Very smooth experience.
Pro: You can fucking mod out the worst slurs from early Homestuck, which is a relief.
Pro: It maintains the browser games as well as the incredible formatting tricks of Cascade, A6A6I1 and others.
Pro: It's literally officially endorsed by the creator as The Way to read HS.
Con: Windows and Mac only, not mobile, unfortunately.
Con: No matter how many times I read the explanation for First Time Reader Mode, I'm always still a bit confused.
Con: The Troll quirks.
DOOR TWO: Experiencing Homestuck with Lets Read Homestuck
Pro: The entire comic read to you, with matching visuals, is really a fucking treat and probably the most low effort way to experience it.
Pro: CANNOT OVERSTATE HOW FUCKING GOOD THE ACTING IS SOMETIMES. OFTENTIMES. Duckum's Rose performance is more deserving of oscars than most shit I've seen get awards. Karkat's performance is always a delight but the emotional rollercoaster of Murderstuck? Holy shit. Also I did not like Terezi until LRHS, now I love her.
Pro: Sometimes, Homestuck is hard to read. Making sure you find every secret in every walkaround? Trying to figure out what the trolls are saying through their quirks? Oh my god the fucking SBaHJ interludes? There are parts of the Meenah walkaround I totally missed bc I could not parse the quirks. LRHS makes it a complete and total non-issue.
Con: In my opinion, it takes them a while to find their footing. Act One is just kinda rough. Act Two is better, but things become fantastic pretty much as soon as Duckums takes over as Rose.
Con: It's not complete. LRHS is up to the Trickster Arc deep deep deep in Act 6, so they're nearly there, but the last 15% of the comic, you have to read yourself.
Arc, what the fuck: I have all of LRHS ripped as MP3 so I can listen to it like an audiobook. Lemme know if you want the files.
DOOR THREE: Official Homestuck Website
Pro: It does work on phone and tablet.
Pro: You can pair it with the HQ upload of all HS Flashes and have an okay time.
Con: The walkarounds are removed. The entire game of Jane's land is a fucking YOUTUBE VIDEO. The special effects for Cascade and A6A6I1 and even the stupid horse segments are gone. The entire gravity of the Retcon is removed. They couldn't even fucking preserve Gamzee's dumb potion shop bit. What the absolute fuck.
Con: EVEN THE FUCKING UPLOADS THEY DID LOOK LIKE HORSESHIT. Compare the official intro of Rose's world to a reupload of the original flash. How the FUCK was this allowed?! Who OKAYED this?!
This is garbage. Homestuck is a multimedia experience of prose, text, music, animation, interactive storytelling, and Viz Media fucked it.
The choice is yours. I suggest Door Two, but I'm a podcast person before everything else. Door One is a very very good door once you get going. Door Three is if you HAVE to use mobile. but please, fuck, use the All Flashes video, I'm begging you.
OH BUT WHATEVER OPTION YOU CHOOSE: stop at Act 7 or Credits. Do not read the Epilogues or the post canon stuff.

So about the parenting headcanons 👉👈 between miko, ei, and sara who do you think has it worse with experiencing pregnancies and who uses being pregnant to guilt you into doing stuff (ie waking you up at 3 in the morning to get you to make the food, get you rub their feet, or hold their belly)
Hello Anon! Since I didn't know what format to put this answer in, I'll just give you my honest, direct thoughts.
Tumblr media
Who milks the pregnancy, you ask? I think the answer is obvious. 
Ah, so many opportunities, so many excuses! There is no way Yae Miko will resist the urge to act on them. Morning sickness? Perfect excuse to stay at home. Who will dare and try to downplay the Guuji's suffering anyway? Swollen, aching feet or hurting thighs? She'll lay down and call for you to do your husband's duty and give her a good massage. Feeling down? Get in the bed right now and cuddle her. You wouldn't want your wife to suffer in loneliness, right? Another plus of the situation is being showered in attention, affection and gifts. The people really want to get on Miko's good side, so they will give her plenty of interest and small, or not so small, material things. Silks, clothes and other baby utilities are piling up, much to her satisfaction. 
While Miko is having more or less the time of her life, Sara is struggling. The limited mobility forced her to quit work quite soon, even before the second trimester. It's not like she can stay upright for long without feeling faint anyway. Her nausea and occasional vomiting confined her to your house and the surrounding areas. Sara would rather not show her weakness to the public. Oftentimes she feels like a burden. She often feels disgust when seeing all the body changes occurring within her. The causes of the pressure on her insides is what she's most ashamed of. For a long time she's been hiding her soaked underwear, choosing to wash it herself so you wouldn't find out. She doesn't want to bother you, and even sees sleeping with her as some sort of a chore. Please, please tell her that it doesn't weigh you down. Tell her that she's strong and all of what she is experiencing is natural, and more a proof of her strength than of weakness. She knows that all the struggle will be worth it in the end, but… don't leave her facing this alone. 
Ei is in the sweet middle ground. She sees her perinatal motherhood as a test of her own might and resolve. The Archon chose to introduce the child into the world the human way. She understood all the consequences of her decision, and her will didn't waver since. Most of time is spent either inside the Plane of Euthymia, where she focuses on the feelings accompanying her child and, in later stages, it's very life, or outside in the palace by your side. Overall, she treats the nine months as a very private, individual experience for only the two of you, and takes all the struggles of it extremely well.
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!

Songs i think certain Genshin characters would listen to / fit them !! hcs
(this is assuming they have access to modern day music) includes links to the songs! formatting is probably weird bc I’m on mobile :(
a/n: this whole post is just semi comprehensive rambling
Furina 🍰:
Okay I’m gonna give her two just because I love her. 1st one “Chocolate Love” by Girls Generation. I’m sorry I just see her as a kpop girlie 😭 I can’t really describe why I think she’d like the song besides the fact it has ‘chocolate’ in the name. (also ik what the actual lyrics mean by idc!!) And the 2nd one is “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. My reasoning behind this is because Furina just wants to have fun!! And if anyone disagrees that she wouldn’t like it… ur wrong!! /hj
Lyney 🪄:
Okay I KNOW the popular choice is “Circus” by Britney Spears. But personally whenever I listen to “The Magic” by Lola Blanc, I think of him. This is not to say the first song doesn’t fit him, because it does but the second song is terribly underrated and i really want to see edits of him to “The Magic” ☹️
Neuvillette 🦦:
“The World We Knew” by Frank Sinatra. Look this is the song was mainly chosen because it makes me think of Neuvfuri and because every single classical song has like 20 words in the title 🤬 Anyways I’d like to think Neuvi plays 30s-60s music while relaxing and doing paperwork, along with classical music too of course. Old man vibes 👴🏻
Xinyan 🎸:
“Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence. I KNOW FOR A FACT SHE LOVES EVANESCENCE !!! Xinyan loves rock n roll, but you wanna know what she loves more??? A female fronted band. Xinyan for president ‼️🗳️ She would would definitely try and learn all their songs on her guitar. Tbh i think she would like 99% of their discography. I just chose the most popular song 💀
Dottore 💉:
“Puttin’ on the ritz” by Taco. Hear me out, he would totally play this song and dance a little while moving around in his laboratory. Sometimes when he’s feeling particularly good/excited he’ll sing along when he’s torturing experimenting on someone. Lmao imagine him torturing someone and he tells them to stop screaming so he can hear the song 😭

Can I ask for a yandere alphabet for Reaper (Gabriel Reyes) from Overwatch?
Of course! Here's some more Reaper :) Written on PC instead of mobile, sorry for formatting issues.
Yandere Alphabet - Reaper
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Kidnapping, Violence/Murder, Manipulation, Possessive behavior, Slight sadism, Breaking and entering, Denial, Reaper watches you sleep, Brief marking mention, Forced relationship.
Tumblr media
Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
Reaper tries to take his time before getting involved with you. He knows he probably shouldn't but he just can't help but watch you. Reaper primarily watches his darling so he isn't very affectionate in the physical sense.
Once he allows himself to indulge, he can be intense. However, for the first half of his obsession he is rather tame. This is due to the fact he is mostly just watching you from a distance.
The moment he decides to just take you, though... he's intense with both affection and his obsession in general.
Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
Messy. Reaper is a mercenary, it is basically his job to take out targets. He sees it all as just a job for the most part. While he sometimes take joy from it, it's primarily just something he has to do.
He takes out those he doesn't like around you behind your back and makes it all look like an accident. He does everything he can to make it look like he wasn't involved. Things like this distract him from his feelings for you... a thing he tries to ignore before he can't take it anymore.
Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?
Reaper may mock a little bit but for the most part he doesn't. By the time he has you he has worked for this moment. So he tries to tend to your needs and learn about his feeling issue.
He cares for you and isn't entirely cold towards you. Although it is hard for him to show that at times. It's not like he's felt this way before. If he has it's been a long time since then.
Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?
Most likely. He'll try being patient but that has its limits. The moment he has you under his care, hidden by him with help from Talon, it's hard to go against what Reaper claims/says.
Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
He isn't a very vulnerable person. He rarely opens up to you if at all and you often not know much about him or his past. He cares for you... he's just very hard to read.
Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?
Annoyed. Part of him understands, you're in an unfamiliar place and taken by a stranger. He gets that... yet part of him wishes you'd adapt quicker.
He would try to push aside your fight but sometimes just allows it to play out. Soon you'll get tired. Soon you'll realize it's pointless.
Soon... he just needs to wait a bit more.
He's good at that.
Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
He both finds it annoying yet also enjoys chasing you down at times. He knows it's pointless as he'll find you again, but it seems you don't.
So part of him feels a bit excited at times to see you come to the realization that escape is pointless.
Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
It would either be the abduction or after the abduction. Before that he's just a phantom in the back of your mind. Afterwards... well he's all you ever see.
I'd personally say everything from the initial abduction to the isolation afterwards.
It scares you that the only person you can rely on is a man on the brink between life and death... one that's the embodiment of the Grim Reaper. A man who has killed before and will kill again, perhaps even for you.
Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
Reaper hasn't really thought of it. The future is uncertain. All he really knows is he wants you and tries to keep you close. He wants no one else around you... he just wants it to be the two of you.
So he'll keep it that way.
Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?
It's really hard to read Reaper but I'd say he gets jealous. At first he finds a way to cope with it. Yet there comes a time he just doesn't care anymore and just eliminates the problem.
The last option happens closer to when he just decides to take you. His first sign of snapping.
Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?
Distant, sometimes cold. He's barely there before he takes you. When he does he tries his best to connect. He's shown to be ruthless with others, but with you he tries to be gentle.
He tries to speak to you in a deep and raspy voice. He tries to be more comfortable for you. Yet it's a struggle for the both of you.
In terms of affection it's usually just "offering protection". Although when you are more receptible he tries more physical forms of affection. Like attempts at comforting hugs... even if you go rigid against him like some corpse.
Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
Reaper spends a good deal of time stalking you at first. He tries to ignore such desires but can't help it. Then it escalates from just watching.
He goes from watching from a distance to watching closer. Sometimes he finds himself entering your home to watch you as you slumber. Sometimes he reaches out to gently touch you. He tries to restrain himself but it's all to satiate his desires.
Unfortunately, the more he indulges, the more he wants more.
Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
I'd say so. He is more gentle with you even if it's difficult for him.
Naughty: How would they punish their darling?
While he is used to violence I'd say he'd isolate you from even himself. The moment he hears you begging for him to take you back, he feels you've learned your lesson. Although... maybe he is one to mark you in some way?
Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?
Nearly all of them. You're under Talon watch now.
Patience: How patient are they with their darling?
He can be very patient.
Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
Probably, with a lot of time. He'd probably try to get you back though. As much as he hates the idea, he can probably ask Moira to help him if you ever died.
Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?
No and no.
Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
Probably trauma and a yearning for some sort of normalcy in his life.
Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
He tries to give you your space. As stated before, you'll stop at some point. He's just... really bad at comforting people.
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
Not really? Unsure.
Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
Probably none. Once you're with him you're sort of stuck.
Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?
Probably. He tries not to though. It's mostly those around you.
Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?
Not a worship yandere but would hunt you down until he found you if he lost you.
Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
A long time. Maybe months to a year and a half?
Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?
Yes, unfortunately.

hi, can I request headcanons for boys from ff16 when they are jealous of their lovers? I really like your headcanons so much, thanks for it!!❤️
This took me so long to do, I don’t have access to a computer rn so I had to type this on my phone, super weird experience. Anyway, hope you enjoy and I hope mobile doesn’t screw up the formatting! 🙏
Clive Rosfield
He tries to keep it inside but he’s not subtle at all. He’s in a foul mood, doesn’t respond like he normally would and gives you one word answers. He never takes his anger out on you, but watching strangers hit on you just makes him upset. (He’s NOT jealous, he’s just protective.) Trusts you but not other men.
You’re an attractive woman, he tells you as such every day, but to see men flock to you is a different story.
“What’s your name? I haven’t seen a pretty lass like you around here.”
You’re far too kind for your own good, entertaining their questions while Clive stands aside and brews in his annoyance. An ugly feeling rises through him as he watches the scene unfold, and his legs carry him without warning when one of them asks you if you have a man waiting for you at home.
Before you can answer Clive stands behind you, chest puffed out. “Yes, she does.”
The mans face contorts from laid-back to frightful, taking his leave at the sight of the much larger man at your side. You can’t help but laugh when you turn to meet his gaze, his eyes softening at the sight of you.
“Someone’s jealous.” You tease, smiling as you do. He doesn’t answer right away, leaning over you and placing his hands at your sides.
A smirk graces his features as he speaks.
“Jealous? You must be mistaken.” He rumbles. “That would imply he had a chance to begin with.”
Joshua Rosfield
He gets pouty, makes it known that he doesn’t approve but you make sure to calm him down, hold him close and reassure him that you’re not leaving his side, not now and not ever.
Perhaps a bit insecure, he can’t help but get upset at the latest man to try and vie for your affection. You shoo him away, but the amount of times you’ve had to do so makes him worried. What if one day you don’t send them away?
You walk over and see Joshua deep in thought, following his eyes they’re trained on the young man who was just talking to you.
You know him far better than anyone else, so when your eyes follow his line of sight it’s no surprise to you what your boyfriend is thinking.
You take his hand in your own as reassurance. “Joshua, you know you don’t have to worry, right?”
Your voice drags him from his thoughts. “I know love.”
His words and his body convey a different message, still staring off at the fleeting visage of the young man.
Sighing, with a shake of your head you open your arms, inviting him in for a gentle hug that he gladly takes. It’s as if the stress leaves his body the moment you hold him tight.
“I’m not going anywhere baby, that’s a promise.”
Cidolfus Telamon
Rarely gets jealous, but on the off chance he does it’s very obvious, and he doesn’t try to hide it either.
You and your fellow bearers are celebrating a job well done at Martha’s Keep, with Cid close by you, sharing in the merriment. When his glass runs empty he leaves you to go ask for a refill, in which time a young man takes his place next to you.
You two chat about nothing really, idle conversation, but you do talk for a while, which was enough for Cid to bring himself close to you as you spoke.
“Darling, you didn’t tell me you made a new friend while I was gone.” He says in a deep voice before turning his attention towards the young man.
A hand at your hips pulls you closer into his warm body, suddenly very aware that you are in public and Cid is currently pressing himself against your back.
The two men make idle chatter, none of which you register, too focused on the small circles he draws against your skin, and the low rumble of his voice beside your ear.
Deep in conversation, he pulls up a seat, and then pulls you into his lap in a smooth motion. You squeal in shock, and the young man seems more and more uncomfortable with each passing moment. After a while he excuses himself, leaving as Cid waves him away.
“Gone so soon? Such a shame, he was nice to talk to.” He says to you, not apologetic in the slightest.
You roll your eyes and lean your head on his shoulder with a sigh. “I never took you for the jealous type.”
He presses a kiss to your cheek in response. “You bring out the worst in me darling. Take it as a compliment.”
Barnabas Tharmr
Lord help anyone who even so much as looks at you, much less tries to talk to you. He is very possessive, and if you’re in a relationship with him know that he will protect you from anyone and anything.
You’ve enjoyed the ball so far, indulging in the tasteful wines and elegant music. Your husband is not with you, but he is close by. Even though he is not one for celebration, he enjoys the sight of you happy.
Your mood is then soured by an older man, flushed and slightly swaying. It’s clear that he’s had far too much to drink.
There’s a crooked smile on his face as he makes his way to you, introducing himself as Lord…something or other. You don’t bother to pay attention as he rambles, most of it unrecognizable under his liquor-borne accent. You try to tell him kindly that you have a husband, that he wouldn’t like you talking to him, but he’s far too deep in his glass to pay your warnings any mind.
Barnabas catches a glimpse from the corner of his eye, ever watchful of his most prized possession, and the sight irritates him. But a drunk fool is little cause for concern, so he does nothing.
It’s only when the man gets bold enough to place a hand on your shoulder do you see, or rather feel Barnabas’s reaction, almost as if the room has grown several degrees colder. He slowly steps towards you, a welcome sight to your sore eyes. Immediately the other man backs away, looks between the two of you and slowly pieces together why the king is suddenly doting on you.
He apologizes, bows his head and runs away with his tail between his legs. Barnabas only smiles at his retreating figure, and makes no move to follow.
The moment he leaves the air is somewhat calm again, but you know your husband far better than to assume he would forgive and forget.
You kiss his cheek tenderly before speaking. “He was drunk. I’m fine.”
There's a rumble of appreciation from the warden of darkness before he replies. “He dared touch you.”
His hand moves over your shoulder, the same spot where the nobleman's hand formerly laid and his eyes darken. “Dared to lay his hands on my queen, my wife.”
His tone becomes more and more sinister the longer he speaks about the man, eerily calm. “What kind of husband would I be to let him walk away freely?”
“I am fine.” you reiterate. A hand at his chest and the anger leaves his face in an instant. “You will not hurt him. Are we clear?”
As much as you loved his possessive nature, you’d rather not make a scene tonight.
A sigh, his eyes fall to you as he relents. “Only because you asked nicely.”
Gav
Almost confrontational in a way, if he sees you getting flirted with he doesn’t hesitate to pull you close and tell the guy to fuck off. He’s very proud that you’re in a relationship with him, and isn’t afraid to show that in the slightest. He’s also a bit of a drama queen.
You’re in the markets buying some supplies for the hideaway when a salesman whistles for your attention. You resist the urge to roll your eyes at his behavior before turning around, the man gesturing to his wares.
“All exclusive, very rare herbs and essentials darling.” He says, and the nickname makes your stomach turn. Only one man is allowed to call you that.
Ignoring him, you notice that he actually has a few items you need, albeit a bit overpriced. When you ask, he gives you a smirk and leans closer, and you instinctively lean farther back.
“For a pretty lady such as yourself, I’d be willing to give you a discount,” he drawls, taking the time to look you up and down.
Your eye twitches. You get ready to leave but a familiar head of blonde quickly moves between you and the salesman.
“Piss off!” Gav yells, giving him a nasty look as he pulls you away. “She’s not interested, yeah? Go find some other poor sod to harass.”
They throw various insults between each other, each one worse than the one before. You have to sit back and admire the display, Gav sure can be creative when it comes to cursing. At one point he called the salesman a “morbol-breathed wanker” and you nearly lost it.
Eventually you manage to pull him away before the guards are called, and only when you two are far enough away does he show his concern.
“He didn’t try anything did he?” He asks in a thick accent. “ ‘m sorry lovie, I was gone for a second—”
A smile spreads across your face, kissing him into silence. He reciprocates instantly, still holding onto your waist when you pull away.
“Don’t be sorry for defending me, okay? But I think maybe we should get going now before the guards come looking.”
He nods in agreement, holding your hand as the two of you make your way to the docks. “I’d fight him for you, y’know that?”
“Of course darling, I know,” you laugh, his own mixing with yours. “But let’s try not to get arrested, okay?”

Once again I will make a longer post about Watcher's apology video when I have the time to sit down at my computer and type it (I'm on mobile right now because I'm about to have dinner), but I do want to quickly address something I've seen crop up a lot this weekend:
A lot of people have been insisting things along the lines of:
"No one asked for higher production"
"We were fine with blue and yellow text"
"Go back to Buzzfeed style"
"Ghost Files sucks, Unsolved was better"
And so on. While I'm not going to say I'm a huge fan of Ghost Files (it's my least favorite of the five Watcher shows I follow), I also wasn't a huge fan of BU Supernatural; I preferred True Crime since it was about things that had actually happened, just as I prefer Mystery Files now. (Oops, are my skeptic tendencies showing?)
Regardless, the thing I want to address here is that Watcher Entertainment — and Ryan and Shane, specifically — taking on a new format for their show isn't really about the audience. I mean, to some degree it is — they need people to watch so they can make money — but it's also about what they, as artists, want to make. And they don't want to make a show where they're seated behind a table with blue and yellow text. They want to make a show where they LARP living in a bunker with a red nuclear landline phone.
And that's okay.
Sometimes the content an artist wants to make differs from what their original fans followed them for. Think of it in terms of musical artists; often artists will start out making one style of music and will pick up fans for that. Then three or four albums later their style will change because they grew as musicians, or wanted to experiment, or did a bunch of drugs, or a combination of those things. And their old fans find they hate this new style. And that's okay. It's fine to prefer the older albums. But it doesn't mean the band has to stop playing in the new style just because the old fans hate it, if the band truly likes what they're playing. Their feelings about their art matter, too.
And so that's where Shane and Ryan are with Ghost Files. It's fine if you, personally, preferred Unsolved Supernatural. But they, personally, seem to prefer Ghost Files. And since they're the ones making it, they get the final say on this one. I think that's fair. You can always still go back and watch old Unsolved Supernatural episodes. They're still around.
(As for me, well, they're not going to find ghosts no matter what format they use, so. I don't really care, lol. I just wish they'd not try to pretend some locations aren't ads when they clearly are. Looking at you, escape room episode. That was so lame.)

New Mikunology Files #1: CV Powers
omg here we go again
I've been on break a little while but I've been thinking hard recently and I want to share, so! I got an ask long ago about how Miku and friends' superpowers worked in my AU, and I answered it with what I had at the time, but after a lot of thought I straightened something more out I'm pretty satisfied with. I could add on potentially, though, because this AU is an eternal WIP. But y'know.
I'm pretty much gonna copy my notes. (Also sorry if this is formatted oddly, I'm on mobile right now.) Read below the cut! 👇
So, let's recap with the basics.
The Crypton CV androids are outfitted with special cores that function as their "hearts" - they're located in their chests. These cores are made of a special material that not only allows the CVs to learn and experience humanlike emotions, but also have the ability to change "feelings" into "energy": this is what gives them their superpowers. (They found this out by accident.) Meiko has dubbed this energy "Voltage".
The thing about Voltage, though, is that it's kind of unstable, and really powerful. Because of that, it's best for it to be used sparingly; the CVs can probably use it once or twice per fight (Module transformations excluded). Overuse of Voltage can cause the CVs to short/overload or become exhausted (which isn't great when you're trying to finish off a fight).
Voltage can get stronger with strong emotions, so the group can occasionally spark their powers by accident if they get particularly emotional. Conversely, being too stoic or repressing emotions too much can reduce Voltage power. (Hence, it takes Luka much longer to truly break her powers in.)
Voltage also gives the group the ability to use Modules, chunks of pure Voltage energy that can give them a major power boost and change their appearances, as well as grant them new powers. (For example, Miku acquiring the Raspberryism Module gives her a mega punch ability and a new appearance resembling the character Raspberry Monster.)
Each of the CVs possess a unique way to channel their Voltage (special ability):
Miku's is Voltage Resonance. It gives Miku the ability to "resonate" with someone else's feelings and thoughts. This way, she can use this temporary empathic link to induce feelings, and given it's Miku, it's usually through song (for example, if she encounters a Module monster who's fueled by sadness, she can use Voltage Resonance to see what they're feeling and counter by giving them a song of hope or happiness). She can't outright control emotions like this, mind you, they're more like a powerful emotional suggestion. The flip side to this is that it can be ignored if a character is staunch about it (and technically regardless it wears off eventually, it just gives Miku enough time to give the person a "head start", if that makes sense?) and it can also mess Miku's own feelings up a bit if she's neglects to keep herself focused. It's also best used when the target is already vulnerable.
Rin and Len's is Voltage Link. Kind of similar to Miku's, but unique in that it mainly works with each other: it gives the twins a power boost and allows them to telepathically link themselves, making them temporarily "of one mind and body". It works best with each other since they're twins/mirrors, but they can use it with others... it's just way more difficult to keep it stable unless they understand the other person really well. Which is rare.
Luka's ability is Voltage Lariat. Also kinda unique in that can be both offensive and defensive, depending on what Luka's aiming for - Luka creates a field of Voltage that can either be a sort of healing spot (giving energy to everything in it) or a blast zone (taking energy from anything in it and giving it to Luka). Luka can probably do one of these each per fight, but she's gotta choose carefully when to use it. The fields also don't last long. (Why's this sound so video gamey? But this is the best I could come up with that I think works for her.)
Lastly, all CVs get one extra ability that is usually their "finisher" when all together: Voltage Wave. Not much to this one, just all the CVs using their Voltage to create a super rainbow energy beam!! Usually does the trick. (Fun fact: I like to think that it was rare for Miku and the twins to be able to pull off this move given they were inexperienced and it took a lot of power to pull off; with Luka's inclusion, it's way easier!)
Lastly, the CVs do have a few regular old stock superpowers: super strength (Rin's specialty), flight (Miku's specialty; also Luka is the only one in the group who doesn't fly too much when not necessary), super speed (to a degree at least), super reflexes, super hearing (they're musicians, after all!), super durability, the ability to download themselves into technology (robot perk) and the ability to manipulate hologram/hard light technology.
And that's pretty much it! I hope all of that makes some amount of sense. I'm sorry if I missed some stuff, I'll try to fill it in eventually.

hakwon teacher! reader x soldier! horangi
(please ignore the formatting, written on mobile!)
you were exhausted, plain and simple. long days, hundreds of kids, the expectations of management, it was all piling up. and you were trying really, really hard to make friends with your fellow teachers, but most of them wanted to go out and party in itaewon every night. it's not that you didn't drink or party, per se, but teaching 20 six year olds from 4pm - 10pm while hungover was not an experience you wanted to repeat any time soon.
'ah, it's raining' you thought as you exited your school building. you'd forgotten an umbrella, which honestly was your fault, you knew how mercurial seoul's weather could be in the summer - if it wasn't 98% humidity and hot, it was pouring rain.
regardless, you hurried down the street to your favorite soon dubu restaurant. rainy weather called for hot soup and the stress of the day called for food so spicy you would regret it tonight.
the ahjumma called a welcome to you as you entered before returning to her cooking. you sulked back to the rickety table in the back corner - your normal spot - before calling out to the woman
'저기요!! 순두부찌개 한 개 주세요. 그리고, 맥주 한 병 주세요!(excuse me! one soon dubu soup please. and one bottle of beer please!)'
'네, 알겠습니다! (okay! understood!)' she returned, the pots underneath her sizzling.
as you waited for your order, the place slowly began to fill up. despite it's shabby appearance, the food was good and cheap, the owner nice, and the beer cold. what more could you ask for? it'd become 'your spot' once you'd moved to seoul, a stone's throw from your school and school-provided apartment, as well as cheap enough to indulge in on your measly teacher's budget. the ahjumma had come to know you (and help you practice your elementary korean). so you came back at least twice a week.
as more people filed into the small shop, you noticed a group of soldiers come through the entrance, their military fatigues in plain view. you rolled your eyes and turned your attention to you phone. korean military men were not much unlike their american counterparts - self-absorbed, rude, and generally distrusting of foreigners.
'guess that checks out in any country' you thought bitterly
despite every male of serving age being required to do their time, those that chose to stay in the forces certainly got a reputation for being 'fuckboys' as they say.
you turned to your phone as you waited for your food, texting your only friend here in seoul - an office worker you'd bet at a PC room.
a short wait later, the ahjumma brought out your meal and your beer. you could feel the weight of the day begin to melt off as the steam rose off of the hot stew. muttering a quick '잘 먹겠습니다 (i will eat well/thank you for the food)' before dipping your spoon into the red broth.
you made a move to bring it to your mouth, a figure seated themselves across from you. you raised your head from your meal, analyzing the new figure. angular face, honey brown eyes, dark hair, and high cheek bones, from what you could tell. he was wearing a mask over the bottom half of his face. what you could see what littered with small scars, along with a large scar slicing his eyebrow.
you blinked, before muttering a quiet '안녕하세요 (hello)'
he glared down at you, before leaning back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest and his legs spread under the rickety table.
'american?' he asked, his accent lilted
you nodded. you had no idea what a korean soldier was doing sitting across from you, eyeing you down like a piece of meat.
'i could tell, you are,,,, how do you say 통통한’
your shoulders fell. you recognized that term, in all the time you'd been living in seoul. although the city was pretty metropolitan, korean society certainly dictated a certain appearance, one that you were definitely not a part of.
'thanks' you muttered reproachfully. honestly, you wished this guy would just leave you the fuck alone and let you get back to your dinner.
he shook his head, dragging a hand down his face.
'아니 (no), i mean no...씨발 (fuck)...how do you say in english? 한국어를 할 수 있어요? (do you speak korean?)'
you rolled your eyes, pinching your fingers together.
'god my food is going to get cold' you thought
'조금 (a little)'
'네, 오케이. 제 친구들은 돈을 걸었어요 (my friends bet money),,, for 데이터 (date)?' he hummed, gazing away from you and holding his chin. you looked around him to the group of soldiers gathered at the other end of the restaurant, their attention solely on you and the masked soldier at your table.
you looked back at the masked soldier, a hot anger rising in your stomach. fuck these stupid soldiers. fuck this stupid day. you smiled a grin that felt all too fake.
'야, 이름이 뭐예요 (hey, what's your name)?’ your voice was like belladonna, sweet but poisonous.
he grinned, thinking he'd won.
'호랑이’
your smile dropped in an instant. 'horangi. tiger. what a stupid name' you thought bitterly.
you raised your spoon, grabbing the handle and wielding it like a weapon:
'호랑이 씨, 축을래요?! (horangi sir, do you want to fucking die?!)'
horangi's eyes widened in shock before crinkling up into tiny half-moons. he leaned forward in his chair, a full body laugh taking hold of him. your mouth dropped open in shock. surely he wasn't laughing at you?
'야, 어떻게! 재웃겨! (wow, what, super funny!)'
you leaned back in your chair, mouth open. he stood up, still laughing.
'진짜 (really)... how do you say... you are 재미있어요 (interesting). 고리고 너무 귀엽다 (and really cute). 데이터 (date) another time? 네 (yes)?'
he stood up, adjusting his mask, before making his way back to the table of soldiers, leaving you confused in his wake. you were cute?
(maybe a part 2?)
(also if ur curious on what i think horangi looks like, look up korean actor seo kangjoon!! in korea mandatory military service has to be done somewhere between 18-30 soooo i think since horangi was in both the korean army, special forces, and now kortac he's probably between 30-38, if he started his service when he was 23-25!)

I’m gonna try to answer the other anon’s question about asexuality so you can post it and not have to answer yourself. (also I’m on mobile so hopefully the formatting is ok, if not I’m ok with my ask being copy and pasted to be more readable) I’m asexual but I’m only one person so my experiences with my sexuality is not universal. Asexuality is a HUGE spectrum that includes:
sex repulsed asexuals (what most people think when thinking of aces)
demisexuals (those who only feel sexual attraction towards those they have gotten to know. Usually in a romantic or platonic setting.)
asexuals who want and enjoy sex but don’t feel sexual attraction to others (a lovely analogy I’ve seen for this form of asexuality is when you’re hungry and open the fridge but nothing is actually appealing despite feeling extremely hungry)
asexuals who have no issue with having sex its just something they can easily live without and feel no real urge to have sex.
and then there’s people like myself who go through phases. Personally I’m usually sex neutral but on rare occasions I crave it or when something triggers my ptsd I can become sex repulsed.
Some people refer to asexuality that isn’t sex repulsive as being grey sexual but it still falls under the asexual umbrella. I hope I explained this well enough and I highly encourage other asexuals to speak about their experiences with their sexuality if none of my examples fit you. And please take a break from tumblr if this discussion is at all frustrating to the point it’s effecting your mood offline. Your comfort is important!
This is perfect.
And im starting to think i should, its starting to affect my mental health now
