HOBIE BROWN HEADCANONS | NSFW
im iffy on writing actual smut bc id be reconsidering a lot in my life during it but i am not above writing headcanons xoxo
honestly this is kinda jst me rambling but oh well take it anyway
╭──╯ . . . . . ༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶ . . . . . ╰──╮
• definitely wouldn’t be aggressive but not against throwing you around just a little (if you’re okay w that obviously)
• i don’t think he’d be absolutely nasty. like he’s clearly a bit freaky, he makes a joke abt biting in his intro but i can’t see him being crazy ??
• sony let us know he’s into biting n everyone jst ignored that we need to think abt that more.
• not entirely serious. he isn’t above making a few jokes every once in a while, especially if you’re a bit nervous
• back to that though if he tries to initiate something and he sees you’re even slightly unsure or nervous ?? it’s off. he’s asking what’s wrong immediately and if it’s solvable great, he’ll solve it if it isn’t it’s off. he has no problem leaving you be if you aren’t up to it, there’s no convincing involved
• wouldn’t be into anything extremely degrading, aggressive, or violent. to him that’s porn culture and he wants absolutely nothing to do with it, even if you asked. i just don’t think he’d get off to anyone being seriously hurt
• however he has no shame with a BIT of pain. he did make a biting joke so i mean
• i think light choking would be the worst he’s automatically willing to do or receive. ofc he’s willing to talk but it’d have to be a very detailed talk abt what both of you are okay w doing/receiving
• honestly i jst think talks like that wld be important to him in general. he doesn’t wanna overstep any boundaries, especially not during something as big as sex. he’d never try to introduce you to something before having a genuine conversation about it first
• aftercare is peak w this man. godsend. you’ll never get any better
• not rough all the time. yg write him to be like absolutely insane n aggressive in bed n i jst can’t see it. like hobie never once even raised his voice unless it was loud, like in his intro. nothing abt him was ever aggressive. i think maybe he’d have no shame being SLIGHTLY rough but i don’t think his intention would be to hurt you/see how much you can take ever
• i think most of the time he’d be pretty normal. he’d be paying complete attention to you jst to be sure you’re comfortable always, he’ll stop immediately if you aren’t
• honestly he’s probably a switch, i can see it. he has no problem giving or receiving, though there wld still have to be some talks abt some things LMAO
• i see comments on edits (even mine) abt how he switches positions a lot n it lowk made me giggle. i think he definitely would on occasion just to catch you off guard, but his whole hating consistency thing imo was a joke jst to mess w miles, half the things he said in his intro were to mess w miles
• probably not very experienced but he knows enough and learns fast. like i don’t think he would be into hookup culture or even care abt sex much but he isn’t clueless, yk ?? he knows what he’s doing at least
• doesn’t really ask for head. if you bring it up, great !! he obviously won’t complain ☠️ but to him i think it’d be more of a bonus, not something he expects from you
• i don’t think he’d be into rough head either. to him it’s about what YOU’RE comfortable doing and what YOU can do. he isn’t going to force you into doing anything. like if his hand is ever on your head it’s to hold your hair back and/or just love on you
• like i said he doesn’t really get off to seeing you struggle
• also idk if it’d be pierced. would he be above it absolutely not but that also involves a stranger handling and piercing your dick. if he did it himself, then maybe
• sex to him isn’t as important. he isn’t going to be all distraught if you aren’t ready or you jst don’t want to. it’s jst a bonus to him, obviously it’s important but your needs and thoughts are SIGNIFICANTLY more important to him than what he jst wants

There’s been a lot of discourse about the nature of James and Miranda’s relationship. There’s even been a lot of discussion on my podcast about it. One thing I want to make clear is that my podcast is a platform for discussion on all points of view. I’m not going to agree, 100%, with everything that’s said, but it makes the views of my guests no less valid. There’s no right or wrong, here, because this is art and therefore, it is subject to interpretation.
My intent, however, is to attempt to get as close to the original intent of the actors as possible because we look at a show or a film or a play as going through several layers of distillation. Each level purifies the intended narrative leaving its truest essence.
When we make a reduction sauce using an alcohol of some kind, let’s say a red wine, the heat applied to it burns off things we don’t need for flavor. You’re never going to get drunk off of red wine reduction because there’s almost no alcohol left in it. That all gets burned off, leaving only the flavor components, which is what we wanted all along, anyway. We want that extra element that enriches the flavor of the steak, by adding nuance.
So let’s take apart that meal.
We start with the birth of the idea. The story kicks around in an author’s head, trying to get out, growing bigger and more persistent until it outgrows the confines of the mental box inspiration is stored in and has to be let out. That idea, that’s the cow.
The author raises that idea, feeds it, watches it grow, and then, ultimately slaughters it. That sounds awful, but once you have that idea pulsing, growing, evolving and then finally commit the final draft on paper, it is a kind of death. The life of the story comes to an end and it becomes memorialized in a mausoleum. Readers will come to visit, spend time with it, lay down flowers, cherish it, and mourn its passing.
The next level is adaptation. That’s the steak. There are many ways you can slice the story, large roasts encompassing the whole story or a smaller, hyper-focused character study fillet mignon.
A writers room gets hold of the cow and carves it up. They choose what gets cooked and what gets tossed. A GREAT group of writers saves the bones. They take in the entire supporting structure of the piece and while the whole story may not make it onto the screen, they will have slow roasted the bones for a stock. When you watch a show like Black Sails, where themes are introduced that won’t fully be explained or explored until several seasons later, that’s what that is. It is the stock being used to flavor the whole dish. You’ve distilled the entire cow to its purest essence and so every scene, every line of dialogue, every acting choice, encompasses the entirety of the story. A line from episode one is defined by knowledge of the finale and in regard to dialogue, defined by an actors’ knowledge of a character’s backstory. There are many writers rooms who are creating the bones of the story as they go, which means they aren’t starting with a rich stock. You can’t trace back character motivations or choices to begin with because those motivations changed throughout production.
Black Sails, again, isn’t one of those shows. Steinberg and Levine came into the writers room with their stock pot full and sloshing, spilling story everywhere. The richness of the details they were laying can make season one a bit hard to consume unless you are ready for a story on that level. Viewers need to come to the table with some bread to sop up all those character details because we WILL need them later.
Over the course of finalizing scripts and blocking out episodes, the steak is cooked. Like any great steak, this story is medium rare. More juice comes out with every bite. It’s what makes the show infinitely rewatchable. It continues to cook on the plate, but because it wasn’t overdone, it never dries out.
When the actors get ahold of it, that’s the reduction sauce we were talking about. That sauce provides nuance and flavor. That’s the emotion. A line of dialogue on a page is just ink. It’s nothing until it’s spoken aloud. And like any bit of language in this world, it’s subject to interpretation. In this case, it’s the actor who does the interpreting.
I spoke on the podcast about the art of subtext and how huge a role it plays in Black Sails. One example we used is Jane Eyre. It’s one of the most frequently adapted novels in the English language and with each adaptation, we get a new version of our characters. The most volatile and subject to change is Rochester. There are MANY versions of Rochester that I find appalling (including the original beast in the book), but each actor has formed him into something else, based on their performance. Toby Stephens takes Rochester and turns him into a silly tragic romantic, broken many times over by a society he never really fits into, despite the status of his birth. He connects with Ruth Wilson’s Jane because she fully and happily inhabits that space on the fringes that Rochester thinks he needs to climb out of. Jane takes his hand on the outside of the wall, turns him away from the guarded palace and shows him the wild world that was at his back this whole time.
This is what Toby Stephens, Luke Arnold, Louise Barnes, Zethu Dlomo, and really all the actors for whom their subtextual choices make them reflect like prisms, have done with their performances.
In the final distillation, character motivations and emotions are finalized by the actor. Writers can pontificate, the source material lies dead in its lovely tomb, but stories live and breathe by their storytellers.
What we’re left with is Toby’s face telling the world how deeply Flint loves Silver. Every single choice tells this story.
We’re left with Luke showing us how much Silver is repressing in his feelings for Flint. Luke’s face shows us an incredible depth of feeling and a door slamming shut.
We’re left with the incredible intimacy between James and Miranda, which speaks of a decade of shared physical intimacy. There’s an openness, a freeness to it until the moment in episode 3 when Miranda learns that James has found the Urca and is leaving soon to pursue it. She gives some of it away when she says “I thought I’d have you all to myself”. She is mourning the loss of intimacy that she only gets in short windows of time. They aren’t strained because James isn’t attracted to her, but because he’s rarely there. She has him for a few days at a time before he’s off on another hunt. The coldness starts from the moment he tells her he’s leaving in a few days because I believe she thinks he won’t be coming back, that this is the hunt he won’t survive and she’ll finally have lost both James and Thomas. From the moment Richard Guthrie darkens her door, she’s looking for a way to weaponize him and get them out. For her, it’s a race against the clock and she’s willing to sacrifice a bit of her relationship with James in the present to secure happiness for them in the future.
This is also why James still has sex with her before leaving, even though he’s furious for her reading Meditations to Richard. This is how they connect. They connected through physical intimacy in the flashbacks, as well. Him stroking her thumb in the carriage before the kiss. Tactile contact to seal their understanding of each other. Miranda bracing her hands on his chest during important moments in the Hamilton’s home, something she also does to Thomas, to show physical connection, physical intimacy. Miranda thrives on physical touch.
To think that, for 10 years, James is lying there like an object for Miranda to use, is, to me, short sighted. To think that James doesn’t love Miranda outside of a group, is also ignoring the fact that, 10 years on, James will not leave on a hunt (angry as they both are) without physically connecting with her, trying so hard to reach beyond his anger and the wound freshly opened from sight of that book he’s chosen not to look at for probably the better part of those 10 years. The way his hands hover over her back after she comes and he desperately wants to be with her in that moment, like the best of their moments, but he just can’t, speaks to the depth of his love for her.
So many fans of the show point to this sad sex scene as one of the most important character moments for James and Miranda, but I consistently come to the opposite conclusions about WHY it’s important and what we learn from it, because I’m taking my cues from the actor’s choices, not the director or the writers. On the page, in plain ink, he hates having sex with her. Toby and Louise show us, however, that they are trying to recapture a thing that is fleeting, reaching out to each other to patch up an old wound from which the scab has been picked off, leaving it seeping and raw.
From Toby’s performance, regardless of the words he uses years later to describe it, we see not a character who “loves men” or a character who “loves women”, but a character who LOVES. I don’t see Flint defining that love in terms of boxes and parameters. He’s a character who must be coaxed out, but then loves without reason, without a safety net, as he proves with his love of Silver. As was also referenced by a guest on the podcast, he places a sword in Silver’s hand and says “do it”.
Anyway, this post got away from me and took several turns, but the love between James and Miranda being dismissed by so many in the fandom has been bugging me for a while and I just needed to emotionally vomit on tumblr.

Skz Pack: Bad First Impression
Author's Note: Nothing much this time. All feedback is welcome.
Genre: fluff and angst
Warnings: Mention of bad parents, descriptions of shaking from fear, jealousy, one hit with a spoon
Word Count: 2,058
You and Jeongin were laying in bed when he got a call from one of his Hyung’s. He sat up a little to talk, allowing you to rest your head on his lap.
“Yes Minho-hyung?” He asks. You could hear every other word. ‘Bring…the..home.’ Bring what home? Also Minho… that’s Chan’s moonmate. Did Chan need something from Jeongin?
You just sat there confused as Jeongin continued to talk. “No, I can't do that because it is too early.”
After another five minutes of back and forth, Jeongin turns towards you. “Jagiya?” He asks softly.
“Hmm?” You answer by looking up from your own phone which was on Pokemon Go. “Minho-hyung wants to meet you today.” You freeze a little. Your introduction to Chan still had you a little shook. You didn’t expect to be so whipped by him damn near immediately. Could you handle meeting another pack member so soon?
“Oh um.. What does he want to do together?” You ask unsure if you can commit to anything. There is some back and forth before Jeongin looks at you.
“Did you want to cook with him and another member of our pack? They are making dinner and dessert in an hour or so.” You look up at the ceiling. What could go wrong?
“Sure. Is it okay if I cook with them instead of us watching a movie?” You check with him. “Yeah sure. I’ll just go to the library to study. I can take you to our place.”
“Okay thank you.” You both get ready to head outside. Jeongin drives you to their home and kisses you goodbye as you exit the car. You go to the front door and take a deep breath. They aren’t monsters; they are regular people. They won’t hurt you. You knock on the door, finally having found the courage to do so.
A man wearing a headband with ears answers the door. He had brown hair, but you could tell it was dyed beforehand. His facial expression was very serious as he waved at Jeongin. Jeongin finally drove off knowing that you would be safe with his pack mates. After leading you inside, the mystery man sits you at the table across from another man.
“I’m Minho and this is Felix.” Felix had blonde hair similar to Chan’s. Most people in this household had light hair apparently. They both wore sweatshirts and pajama bottoms with slippers. Minho had no jewelry on at all, but Felix had on some silver rings.
“Was I supposed to wear my pajamas?” You questioned feeling a little less included. It wasn’t intentional obviously; they probably just happened to be cold and wore similar things. Also, you didn’t own many sweatshirts, so you would have had to wear a high school one.
“No, it is fine. We bought you some things to wear too” That is how you ended up in a sweatshirt and matching pajama bottoms just like the two men. Felix smiles as you return “You look great.”
“Thank you… are we cooking something big or small?” You ask kindly. You were not a chef in any way, so this would be an experience for you.
“Oh it’s okay you can just watch. We really just wanted to know about you. Jeongin and Chan seem fond of you.” Minho clarifies as he gets some ingredients from the cabinet.
“Oh? Chan has mentioned me?”
“For sure! He said you were nice but very shy. We waited some time before seeing you solely to make sure you didn’t feel like you were meeting us all back to back.” Felix chirps. He is chipper; he is prepping some kind of meat.
“Thank you for giving me such a grace period. I am very nervous as I’m sure Jeongin told you guys. I just don’t want to make a bad first impression.” You explained, playing with your fingers as you looked at Minho.
He hummed before looking at you. “I think you’re overthinking it. Don’t worry. We won’t eat you. Unless you want to be eaten.” He places a hand on your shoulder temporarily before going back to the counter.
As cooking ensues, you fade into the background taking on minor roles Minho asks you to do. While Felix keeps an eye on you from a distance, you are guided by Minho on how to do certain tasks.
“I didn’t grow up being in the kitchen with my parents. I feel bad for needing so much assistance. I appreciate it though. Hopefully, I can prepare a meal alone for you guys.”
Minho smiles and nods. “It would take some weight off mine and Chan’s shoulders considering we handle all those responsibilities alone.”
You felt a little at ease with Minho, but he still held a lot of power around here. As well as, his natural aura just gave off serious and dangerous. Felix hasn’t said much, so you still felt very tense around him.
“Is Jeongin being considerate towards you? He isn’t causing any trouble right?” Minho’s questions make you laugh. “He is being very considerate. Jeongin is so sweet. You guys have raised a nice pup.” You jokingly respond.
“So he’s touchy with you or is he distant? Jeongin isn’t that affectionate with us.”
“He is affectionate and likes to cuddle, but I don’t know if that’s just him being nice towards me.” Minho raises an eyebrow.
“So you’re very affectionate?”
“According to Jeongin, he and Chan think I am touched starved. They think getting me used to regular affection will help.”
“That’s useful to know for us. We can give you the right kind of affection. So physical touch is big for you. I hope we can all honor that well. I am not necessarily touchy so..”
You laugh at him not finishing the sentence. Minho seems so considerate. It doesn’t bother you that you probably won’t get much affection from him. Hopefully, he just accepts your presence first.
You are helping Minho very efficiently, in your opinion when the topic of your childhood comes into play. “So are your parents both also wolves?” You kind of freeze at the thought of your parents before nodding. “They are indeed. My dad was a beta and my mother an omega. She always wanted an alpha though and made it all of our problems. She wanted me to settle down with a nice alpha.”
“Not her living through you. Parents are really something else. I’m glad you have Jeongin though. He indeed is a nice alpha. I’m assuming you’ve had your fair share of bad alpha’s.”
You nod as you try to continue stirring the bowl Minho had given you, but your hands were shaking so badly. You could feel the air from that night. The adrenaline as you ran for your life from the scariest wolf you’ve ever seen in your life.
You end up dropping the bowl off the counter by accident and give an immediate apology as you use your shaky hands to attempt to clean it up on all fours. Minho takes your hands as he squats next to you. “It’s okay.. I’m sorry to have triggered such bad memories for you.”
You were confused as the night went on. You get to know Minho a little, and he’s very nice to you. However, Felix hasn’t said much still even after dinner is done. Minho decided to take some time to clean up a little in their dining room while you and Felix prepare dessert.
“We are really trying to incorporate you into our household because your Jeongin’s mate. He deserves to be happy, but it’s not like we are going to be all buddy buddy like.” Felix explains to you softly, like he was saying something considerate, as he mixes together ingredients for what looks like cookies.
You kinda deflate a little, the shine leaving your eyes. He doesn’t want to do this just to know you. I mean these are Jeongin’s friends. You should have expected them to still be only Jeongin’s friends. The friend’s of your partner are not always your own friends.
You assist him as he asks and afterwards you grab your things to leave. Minho asks, “Are you sure you can’t join us for dinner considering you helped make it?” You reply with a simple nod and bow before leaving. You start walking home in the cold and dark given that it is too late to ask Jeongin for a ride considering you left already, and you no longer feel comfortable asking any of his packmates.
The feeling of sadness washes over you as you walk in the wintery air. Luckily, it was winter, so you could play off crying as just tears from the wind. You thought you had possibly found a new family, a place to call your own. After feeling less than accepted by Felix, you crawled into a hole again. Could you ever face them again? You are feeling guilty for even wanting to join their pack.
Once arriving home, you took a long shower and prepared for bed. Jeongin texts you afterwards asking ‘Are you okay? You could have asked me to take you home.’ You don't feel the best mentally, so you simply ignore it and go to bed. The next morning you wake up to the sound of pounding on your door.
Feeling groggy you get out of bed and head to the door, you croak out a “who is it?” as you look out the peep hole to see Jeongin. “It’s me!” He practically yells. You slowly open the door and by the look on his face he is angry. “Come in.” Before you can even finish, he comes inside and looks at you before sighing.
You close the door before moving towards the kitchen, not sure what to say. He follows you standing in front of the fridge you were just about to open. “I was worried sick about my poor girlfriend who just chose to not answer my text like she couldn’t be kidnapped, sick, or hurt.” You feel a ping of guilt because you forgot someone actually cares about you, especially after last night.
“I’m sorry Jeongin. I wasn’t in the mood to talk, and I did not consider how it would affect you by not responding.” You look into his eyes before looking down. You can’t hold eye contact for long; he deserves to be mad. He hugs you tightly before resting his head on your shoulder. “Don’t do that again, please?” You quickly nod and hug back.
You haven’t even cleaned yourself up yet or eaten. Jeongin still looks at you as if you are the prettiest girl in the world. You smile as he kisses your cheek and asks how it went last night.
“It was fine. Did you want breakfast?”
“You’re sure? Also, breakfast sounds great. We can make it together.”
“Yes, I'm sure. It wasn’t naturally buddy buddy, but we will all come to terms sooner or later.” You grab the things out of your fridge. Unknown to you, Jeongin didn’t feel the best about that answer. They better get buddy-like with you quickly or face his wrath.
Throwing on his grandma voice, he begins to cook. “They better get with or i’m gonna hit them.”
“Oh? I’m so sorry grandma. I will be sure to tell them that.” You respond between laughs. He hits you with a wooden spoon. “I’m serious! I will tell them there's no need for you to do it.”
You smile and rub your arm. “You are lucky I love you. I could hit you back.”
“Look at you! These young children are so violent these days. I have to teach you all a lesson. Young whipper snappers.” He does the slouch as well. You are laughing so hard tears fill your eyes. Jeongin was glad you were happier now.
You both go on to make a beautiful breakfast for you both. Uploading pictures and selfies to your Instagram for fun. It was starting to be a good day for you two. You were trying to ignore the feeling lingering over you that you wouldn’t be accepted into the pack. Yet, Jeongin could tell by the slight change in your scent that something was bothering you, and he was determined to figure out what happened last night.

Intensely Spicy Curry Training: Hypmic Curry Drama Track TL
Kuukou: Y’all sure took your sweet time getting here! I’ve already got everything prepared!
Jyushi: But didn’t you tell us to meet you at the temple?
Hitoya: If we’re making curry, why the hell are we way out in the mountains to do it?
Kuukou: Because I just had a great idea. Check this out!
Jyushi: Ooooh, look at all this meat! So, we’re going to be using all of this in our curry?
Hitoya: Beef and chicken, huh? I guess it would make sense not cook these while inside your temple.
Kuukou: You’re half right, and half wrong.
Jyushi: What do you mean?
Kuukou: I don’t plan to make just any ol’ curry. Now it’s time for the both of y’all to mince the hell out of this meat!!
Hitoya: I didn’t know whether to expect if a corrupt little monk such as yourself knew how to cook, but I’m surprised. Instead of using something pre-made, if we pound and mince the meat ourselves, we’d get a far more superior product. Is that what you were thinking?
Jyushi: Oh, I see! That’s amazing, Kuukou-san!
Hitoya: So, where’d you put the food processor?
Kuukou: Ah?? The hell are you on? You’re grinding this meat with your bare hands.
Jyushi: …Eh?
Kuukou: Jyushi, you’re on beef! Hitoya, you’re taking the chicken! Punch it with everything you’ve got and make minced meat out of it!! This is a new training session I thought up!
Hitoya: What the hell is this fool saying??
Jyushi: B-But there’s so much meat!! Grinding it by hand is impossible!!
Kuukou: I don’t want to hear any complaints!! You don’t know that unless you try!
Jyushi & Hitoya: *reluctantly pounds the meat by hand*
Jyushi: *tearfully* …My body’s going to become minced meat before the actual beef!
Hitoya: Damn it, I can’t believe I let my guard down like this…! I shouldn’t have expected we’d simply make curry…!
Kuukou: You can’t expect to get anywhere with a weak spirit behind weak fists like that!! Lemme show you how it’s done!
Kuukou: *starts punching*
Hitoya: You bastard, those are vegetables!!
Jyushi: E-Even I could mince a tomato by hand!
Kuukou: It doesn’t matter either way!! Whether it’s vegetables or meat, all that matters is the heart you’re putting behind it!!
Jyushi: T-That doesn’t make any sense…!!
Kuukou: “Enlightenment can be attained through one thousand fists!” Don’t just keep yapping and put some energy into your hips and legs too!
Hitoya: Tch, I don’t see any way out of this… Then, I might as well get it over with…!! UWOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!! *maximum effort punching*
Jyushi: H-Hitoya-san??
Kuukou: Hyahaha! There’s the effort I wanna see!
Jyushi: Guh… Because My God has unshackled the chains binding his true power, I, too, must unlock mine to continue alongside him…! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! *maximum effort punching*
-------------------------
Jyushi: I-I can’t move another inch…
Hitoya: Ugh… I can’t even take the cap off my water bottle…
Kuukou: *sighs* It’s pretty pathetic to be that exhausted just from cooking.
Hitoya: You…!!!
Jyushi: But, I think it would be really nice if our training efforts could be felt by those eating our curry…!
Hitoya: …Well, I don’t think I’d say it like that, but I agree with the sentiment.
*the trees rustle and the birds chirp and there is peace*
Kuukou: The fuck are y’all talking about? There’s no point to this if the people who eating aren’t going through training too.
Jyushi: Eh?
Kuukou: Training can only be felt when you grow from the trials you’ve experienced yourself. Hopping off from other people’s efforts won’t mean shit.
Jyushi: B-but I mean, we’ll still be serving the curry to others once it’s finished cooking, right?
Kuukou: Yup. Which is why I’ve got…!
Hitoya: UWAH!! MY EYES!! IT’S IN MY EYES!!
Jyushi: That powder…!!
Hitoya: It’s red chili pepper!! Jyushi, run!! Move upwind so it doesn’t blow and stick to your mucous membrane!!
Jyushi: Eeek!!! *runs away sobbing*
Kuukou: HYAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Hitoya: Kuukou, you bastard, what are you doing? Are you trying to ruin everything we worked on??
Kuukou: I’m not ruining a damn thing! This curry will be spicy so I can provide a remote kind of training!
Hitoya: Stop fucking around!! There’s gotta be a limit!!
Jyushi: *runs back over* I think there’s more chili pepper powder than ingredients now…!!
Kuukou: Then it’s just right! Now try it.
Jyushi: NO!! I will not be eating!! I absolutely refuse!! Don’t even try me!!
Kuukou: Hey stupid, watch it, that’s dangerous!! Stop fighting me and just—Ahh??
Jyushi: T-The inside of the pot is pitch black……!!
Hitoya: Obviously. Chili peppers burn easily. Haah… Let’s just remake the curry.
Jyushi: But doesn’t that mean we’ll have to mince more meat??
Kuukou: Whatever, I was thinking our “Intensely Spicy Curry Training” was made too halfheartedly anyway!! Time to give it all I got and win this championship!!
#kuko harai#jyushi aimono#hitoya amaguni#bad ass temple#hypmic#hypnosis mic#til that you can make a meat paste at the very least by using a mortar and pestle LOL#the curry pissed me tf off lmao it was so spicy but underneath all that spice was a ridiculously flavourful curry#it's spicy enough that i can tell it's comfortably spicy for people used to eating spice tho!!#habenero is the worst experience with spice i ever had and it wasn't that bad lol but i got the sense it could have been#so i assume jyushi and hitoya talked kuukou down lmao or we didn't want a repeat burnt product lol#i decided to tone down how i usually write bat to try and not show my very obvious bias lol hopefully it worked#i remember slug mentioning sometimes a tl will come off vague in order to not get in the way of future developments#and i actually felt that tling this lmao like when hitoya was telling kuukou there's a limit for everything#i had to choose whether to make this about kuukou and training or kuukou and the chili peppers#the statement itself was a vague warning so my own interpretations of bat were getting in the way probably lol#statements without a clear subject usually default to the person speaking so kuukou saying give it everything and win the championship#is me assuming he's talking about himself and again i'm a little worried my own interpretations of bat are getting in the way#since kuukou's self reliance is blatant but also not if you're casually looking at bat SO IDK LOL I THINK TLING IS HARD#curry tl

hey this is a bit of a triggering topic but can you make some hcs for the Nordic gods’s reaction to the reader dying in one of the thirteen rounds? If you can’t it’s okay
Warning:: Mention of death
Reader Pronouns:: they/them
Chars. Involved:: Odin, Loki, Heimdall, Thor, Forseti [Record of Ragnarok]
A/N:: this has not been proofread but it took me a few hours to make, hope you like
Odin
Overall Odin really only cares about power, and how well his sons make him look
If Odin cares about you, then you must have done something great, like really great!
Maybe you are married to one of his sons or maybe even married to him but whatever it is if you get him to care, it is a big deal
If you’re a human
Your death won’t have so big of an effect on him, unless you win his trust, if you didn’t win his trust he would smirk and feel relief
If you won his trust and he cares, his mourning for your death will be in silence
He will shut everyone out and snap at people who try to comfort him
He will also hide away from everyone
Odin would then keep you in his memories and admire how admirable you were compared to most humans
He won’t cry but you will always be in the back of his mind and he will think about you
He would wonder why he acted so awful to you
If you’re a god
You best believe he would be pissed, even if he hated you, he’d be pissed, he wants humanity gone and if he was going to root for his enemy then he would, if it got the humans gone, he would cheer you on in silence
If he cared about you, similar to his reaction as a human death, he would shut himself out
There are five stages of grief, his longest stage is denial, he will never turn to acceptance
He will make it a goal to get revenge and kill the one who killed you, even if it was against the rules
If anyone brings up your name after you die, good or bad talk, he will yell at them and demand them to stop
Loki
In all fairness Loki may seem like he doesn’t care about death…. And well he doesn’t, unless he trusts you
Ironically, gaining his trust isn’t hard so it’s slightly easy to be one that he cares about, just be kind, and be a god, if you aren’t a god have high talent that only a god would possess
He likes to pick on people that he trusts, and family so while it may seem like a trickster thing, it is, but it’s also a sign of affection so we know he isn’t completely heartless and he DOES care
If you’re a human
Wow, you died?!
He totally didn’t see that coming (not being sarcastic either, he actually didn’t see that coming)
You were so powerful… why… why now? Of course it was a work in his favor with the fights but…. Was it really worth it if he lost someone like you
His “boredom” of watching the fight would be gone, as hard as it would be to admit it, he would be hurt
Not crying, but hurt
“B-but wait that wasn’t supposed to happen! Y/n can’t actually be dead!”
“Since when was y/n a loser?! That’s not fair”
His memory of you would be something he would hold close but try to act tough about
If you’re a god
“Y/n lost to a human? How pitiful!”
He would be a mix of disappointed and angry
He would rage, and break a few things, probably ending up in a fight with a random person
Not a fight for the thirteen rounds but just a fight with someone random
He’s mad at you for dying but hurt that you left, he wouldn’t be sure if he should be more mad or sad
You best believe that his family will have to deal with his anger issues
He doesn’t forgive you for dying, nor does he forgive the one who killed you
Either way, your death takes a toll on him
Heimdall
Heimdall is another one that seems like death doesn’t phase him, well I got news, it DOES phase him! As an announcer/ commentator/ news reporter, your emotions are SUPPOSED to be held back! I can promise you that certain deaths will internally destroy him (and in my opinion it seemed like he felt bad when Adam and Lu Bu’s army died)
Firstly, it is easy to gain his trust, he trusts nearly everyone, no he trusts everyone
If he doesn’t trust you than you must have really done something messed up to him, like REALLY messed up
Secondly, he cares dearly about both humanity and the gods, he doesn’t see you as less than if you’re a human
If you’re a human
If he doesn’t care for you, he will still feel bad and keep it hidden, only because he’s announcing
If he does care about you, you best believe he’s going to let out a tear but try to show no pain, again because he’s announcing
“And the winner for this round is-” would be whenever you would hear a voice shake, as if he held back tears but let no feeing out
His mourning would take place after the tournament, where he’d cry in his room
He’d be in agony knowing that after your death in Valhalla there’s nothing left and you’re gone forever
He wishes he could have said goodbye or even saved you from your fate
He would have multiple breakdowns in private, knowing you died in pain and wishing he could have helped you
If you’re a god
He would be in the same amount of pain if you were a god
He wouldn’t wish death on the human who killed you but he would wish he could have taken your place instead
He would blame himself for your death
He would also have dreams of you coming back and saying everything is fine, even hugging him or kissing him on the cheek or forehead in his dream
Then would wake up and realize that you were never coming back
His biggest regret would be that he didn’t take your spot in the arena since you both are gods
His cheerfulness and happiness would die with you
Thor
Thor gets attached to people easily, especially if they’re his competition and they hold as much power as him, if not more (we saw how hurt he was about killing Lu Bu)
He is shy and introverted, his sadness will show but he doesn’t like to talk to people so chances are, nobody would hear about him grieving over you
Once he gets attached to you he isn’t affectionate or comforting, he admires from a distance or by fighting with you
Either way, he’s impressed by you and you mean a lot to him
If you’re a human
He would stay quiet about it, it would be clear that he is in pain but nobody would hear from him
If he didn’t like you, he would still show no emotion, but he would remember you
If he cared about you, he’d feel bad of course but he would also celebrate your life and bravery
He may have a few drinks to himself, all in which would be in memory of you
“This one goes to you, y/n” he’d say before taking a shot of vodka or tequila
“You may have lost but you did good… you did good”
If you’re a god
He wouldn’t let your memory go in vein, similar to if you were a human, he would celebrate your life
If others ask him about you, he’d say you fought till the very end and that you were a warrior
Thor would still be in pain about your death, hearing your name would get him feeling sad but there would be a huge amount of pride that would come with the sadness
You may have lost but he will always see you as a winner, in his eyes you were the victor
He would talk to you as if you were still alive with him
“Nice day today isn’t it, y/n?”
Or “I wish you were here to see this”
He is never ashamed of you and is proud to say that he was a part of your existence
Forseti
We all know Forseti is bias but I also think he had a somewhat soft spot for Chen Gong so he may have a care for humans
Gaining his trust is easy if you’re a god, if he cares about you as a human, great, gaining his trust wasn’t too hard either but it definitely wasn’t easy either
I also want to point out that Forseti is VERY clingy and emotional, also prone to having breakdowns or panic attacks (from what we saw in the flashback scene with Thor) so if he gets attached to you, you are glued to him
If you’re a human
If you were close to Forseti, he would have a breakdown, he’d crumble emotionally
You were one of the only humans who actually stood out to him, you were one of the only, if not the only human to care about him, chances are he loved you, even if it wasn’t romantically it sure was platonically
“Of all humans why y/n?” He’d ask himself
Unlike the others, he wouldn’t be afraid to break down in tears, scream, sob, lose control in public, he will make his pain heard to everyone
Not for sympathy but because he is actually that hurt, he can’t live without you
He doesn’t want you gone, he NEEDS you by his side
You would be on his mind for the rest of his time
If you’re a god
What?! You lost?!
He saw you die before his own eyes! You were supposed to live! You were a god! You needed to win!
He felt as if he saw his own life before him escape, like Thor, he probably idolized you, and now he saw one of his idols die
It would take him about five to ten seconds to process that you were dead, after those seconds, he would wail and sob like a child
You were incredible! You were everything! You meant so much to him!
“Y/n did nothing wrong! Y/n was perfect and you killed them!” He would shout as the surviving contestant stepped out of the arena
Your death would forever haunt him, and he would hold a grudge against humanity
Similar to Heimdall, he would have dreams about you coming back and would often show you physical affection in his dreams

****Ok to the 19 year old virgin with a dildo.*****
I’m 10 years older than you and have been busy in that time. I lost count of my body count, but it’s over 100 for sure so I’ve seen a lot of cock, and most of them aren’t huge. I’ve had all the races and I’ve found that they all have similar sized cocks. Black, white and Latino have like 6-7inches which is fine if he knows how to fuck. I’d say 25% have 8inches and maybe 15% has 9inches. Like 8% are under 6 inches, and I have only come across two 10 inchers out of like 100. I’ve only had sex with one Hawaiian guy and he was tall and built and had a 9 inch. I had sex with a Japanese guy too and he had like a 7 so that whole Asian guys have small dicks thing isn’t true as far as I can tell, but I don’t have a lot of experience with Asians although they’re really attractive. The Hawaiian guy was a mix of Phillipines, Somaoa and pure Hawaiian and his name was Kalani and he had this tattoo on his leg that told the story of his people and it was so hot. His eyes were grey which he said was very unusual and got him beat up when he was little but GOD he was attractive and really great in bed. He made me cum so many times I thought he broke me. Lol. Most guys don’t make you orgasm unless they know how to stimulate your clit and make you feel comfortable and beautiful. If you’re uncomfortable, insecure, or unsure about a guy, you won’t be able to reach an orgasm. Men orgasm every time they finish. It’s more physical than mental for them, while it’s equally mental and physical for women I think.
Side story about the Hawaiian guy just cuz I want to tell it- I met him in Las Vegas at a night club when we were there for my friends bachelorette party weekend. I saw him and said he was hot, and I’m very picky and never really single guys out so it got all my friends attention. I had to pee so I left my purse with my friends, and one of their drunk genius asses goes up to him and tells him he needs to return my purse to me and points me out. Thank god he didn’t just steal my purse with everything in it, but he came up and gave it to me and got me a drink and a rose and he came back to my hotel with me and hung out the whole entire weekend.(he was friends with a bunch of famous UFC fighters but none of us had a clue who any of them were, but a few of my friends got with some of those guys.) He was supposed to go back to Hawaii, but he asked if he could just hang with me a few days, and I told him I lived across the country and he bought a ticket to my hometown and ended up staying a week, and then came back a couple times and I went to Hawaii one time with him, and he didn’t want me to get on the plane but I was an idiot and didn’t say I love you too when he said he loved me. I said thank you and then got on the plane. he never spoke to me again and I was stubborn and didn’t call him after I tried a couple times and gave up.
Back to the cock talk. Length isn’t as important as the thickness unless it’s over 7 inches and hits your cervix. That shit does not feel good. When a guy hits your wall, it’s painful unless you enjoy pain, which some women like to be smacked and have their hair pulled but I’m not one of them. I’ll smack a motherfucker right back!
Porn isn’t a good gauge of what cocks are like cuz those are all extreme sized. I heard that if you’ve given birth, then you can handle bigger cocks, but I’ve never done that so I cannot verify, but I cannot imagine there’s too much of a difference since your body goes back to what it was before birth. There’s a point where they’re just too damn big.
The hottest guy I ever fucked had this enormous penis and it was terrible. I tried several times and different positions, but his dick was like as big around as a soda can and was like 10 inches. You’re trying to get something close in size of your virgin pussy? That’s gonna be tough, if not impossible. Plus what is the dildo made of? If it’s silicone or rubber, then you need some lube. I cannot stress it enough! Lube is so important. If you don’t have enough anti friction lubrication (natural or store bought) sex is not fun, and can even injure you and your partner.
Penetration isn’t really that important in female masterbation. It’s all about clit stimulation and figuring out what really turns you on. Just because you’re wet, doesn’t mean you cummed. That’s just your vagina lubricating itself in preparation for sexual activity when you’re horny or aroused. You absolutely know when you cum. It’s almost like a really strong finally getting to pee feeling, but in a good way and you don’t pee (unless you’re a squirter, but those are pretty rare) squirters are just what they sound like, when they cum they spray pee and their orgasms are more intense. I’ve squirted before and I think it’s so embarrassing but the guy is always so into it. (Even if you get them right in the face, guys are so gross sometimes)
I suggest getting a smaller dildo, and get one with a clit stimulator. Get one that’s got a plug and is rechargable so you don’t burn through a million batteries. They’re more expensive up front, but save you money in the long run.
You don’t wanna loosen yourself up too much anyway. It feels better for you and him if you’re tighter down there. If he goes down on you, and is considerate your first few times, you’ll be able to take dick in no time.
If he won’t go down on you or is not being careful or considerate, and tries to force it in roughly without you telling him to do so, then just get up and leave. You don’t need to get ripped or torn, or get a bruised internal vagina, or not be able to walk the next day comfortably cuz he’s an asshole. Just abandon ship.
Blue balls are supposedly a real thing but most of my guy friends say they are greatly exaggerated to guilt trip women into doing what they want. They don’t actually experience pain. It’s a scam.
there's nothing i can really add because i've only been with a woman but this is like top tier advice

Samples from Jay and Nyas care book for Nindroids
In my story Anatomy of a droid this book is just shown and talked about but I imagine it to be filled with all sorts of things making a sort of care and problem solving guide and holds examples of problems the others caused and explanations for the others about why these problems arose and how to avoid them in the future. This is some of the stuff I thought could appear in the book. It would including some stuff like this:
The Book contains sections like:
The basics for caring for them, sections for each of their systems, a section on their senses, a section on basic repairs for them, a section on reboots and recalibrations that they can do for them along with other tech works, a section listing dangers for them and things that are safe for them with explanations on why things are safe or not and a section dedicated to each of them covering unique features traits and behaviors for each (one for Zane and one for Pixal).
Basics: for everyday things like what they can and can’t have, things to watch out for, things not to do with or around them, a bit on how they think, daily care like feeding and cleaning, normal behaviors, their equivalents to being sick, etc.
Examples from basics:
Remember for their safety we can't talk much about the specifics of nindroids or care for them in public and you can only tell or get help from others if Pixal and Zane have deemed it okay to do so or trust the individual. If someone asks you about them be vague; we don't want knowledge getting to the wrong people. That can easily prove very bad. This has led to a lot of myths about them but unless the myths are harmful for them it's better the public has them than the truths. If you're going to play around and encourage some myths make sure to be nice about it don't get absurd or scary with them. Many already have fears and beliefs that nindroids inherently are very dangerous and secretly want to destroy or enslave humanity. We've never seen proof they inherently wish to do this and this belief is dangerous for Zane and Pixals safety and the overall image to nindroids. Don't do anything to further encourage or prolong the belief. Also careful what you say. We know Cole didn't mean any harm when comparing Zane to an Alsatian Shepherd but that has led to some kids gifting Zane dog biscuits; luckily the shelters always happy to take them.
If they are low on energy do not feed them batteries. We don’t know which of you did that, Zane refused to tattle, but we know it was one of you. Given past records we’re pretty sure it was you Kai. No matter who it was don’t feed droids batteries. For one that is not how batteries work, two while in them and still fairly intact the battery will shock them and thirdly as it’s digested the acids and chemicals in the batteries will disrupt their systems normal flora and chemical balance making them sick and larger batteries like D batteries can get stuck in their systems.
Remember when working with them to have your shots particularly for tetanus up to date. Tetanus is a very unpleasant condition, has no cure and will end your carrier as a ninja. Zane and Pixal can’t help it if they’re harbouring tetanus, the bacteria just has a strange love for making metal its home and with a great deal of metal to their bodies they have a high chance of harbouring the stuff. They can easily keep it off the outside of their bodies however can’t do much about the inside. Also even though synthetics coat the interior of their mouths and enamel coats their teeth covering the metal the bacteria is still present there. Normally they won’t bite but when being restrained especially if they’re having a bad dream they tend to bite in defence. Along with Tetanus they can unintentionally be harbouring and transfer other dangerous bacteria and even some viruses, fungi and parasites without realising it since they aren't affected by it so won't realise they are carrying them. Remember how Jay accidently got Serpentine-pox making his skin scaly and itchy for a week because Zane was accidently carrying the disease or how we all got ringworm because Zane had helped a cat that had it and didn’t realise at the time that even though he’s immune that he could spread it to the rest of us. They try to keep themselves from being a danger but sometimes they have no control over it or accidents can happen. Best to be safe over sorry.
There are a few viruses known to affect nindroids, before some of you freak out no you can't catch these viruses (unless you have cybernetic implants) they affect droids only. These will cause various systems to malfunction causing them to work improperly and cause pain. They can also cause balance issues and navigation issues or even mess with their senses. They keep their antivirus software up to date so it is very unlikely they should have problems with these however you never know. Despite their precautions things can happen not to mention while they can defend against technical attacks they can't do much against magical attacks which can give them these or comparable conditions. Signs they have a virus can include: random and often unexpected passing out, being tired often sleeping more, poor balance and co-ordination, poor focus, trouble thinking, digestive issues, coughing, internal pains, poor communication (speaking may sound like gibberish, be backwards or they are using some other language and might not realise it), senses might randomly shut down on them leaving them blind, unable to hear anything or even feel anything and they may even become aggressive and attack others (Jay: I consider one of these viruses Robot Rabies. It's kind of like it; they don't foam at the mouth but will drool a bit and loose co-ordination and balance while becoming uncontrollably aggressive. Luckily they can't transmit it to us however they can give it to each other so if they are showing signs like this keep them separate and don't let them connect to each other; the virus downloads to any cybernetic system it encounters on its own. You might have to lock them up till we can purge the virus from their coding; the virus prevents them from easily being put offline so that won't work to keep them in control. You have to override the virus to knock them out and none of you have the skills or knowledge for that.) Magical caused conditions are much less predictable and cause behaviors and symptoms they usually are incapable of having or do things to them that a simple virus can't. If you suspect they may have a virus we'll deal with it. The computers in the Hanger bay can easily diagnose it for you but none of you have the skills to remove it. Do not try to remove a virus yourselves; you could easily mess up and cause serious and potentially dangerous problems. Best thing you can do till we can help them is keep them calm, safe and comfortable till we can help them.
If they are as Kai described it once 'glitching' which is simply functioning problems and/or falling asleep or offline at odd times that's more likely a sign they are low on energy not a virus. Just give them something to eat and let them rest. It will take a while for them to get back to normal functioning levels after this so don't freak out and think somethings wrong because they aren't better in a few minutes. It takes them a while to recover from low energy; it's not an instant process. Just think you're not fully recovered rate after lunch or a nap either.
Magnets and Droids: the metal of Zane and Pixals body is titanium which is not magnetic so magnets won’t stick to them however they can prove dangerous to them as they disrupt their navigation sensors and balance and strong magnets can confuse their sense of direction. Remember if you’re going to play with magnets to have fun with them do it during down time and not when we could be on a mission so you can hide magnets in their PJ’s or street attire for a prank not in our uniforms. Just remember that screw up Jay did by hiding that surprisingly strong fridge magnet in Zane's hood and we lost him that mission only to find he’d wandered to the totally opposite side of town because the magnet messed with his sense of direction and he didn’t realise he was going the wrong way because of it. Also don’t feed them magnets. Even when inside them the magnets will mess up their sense of balance and navigation and make them sick. Cole we know it was an accident that you accidently mixed fridge magnets into the cake you practised baking and got Zane to try. Next time when getting something out of the fridge leave the bowl on the counter and not try to hold it, the door open and get what you need at the same time. We can’t fully blame you however as Zane holds some of the blame since he did sense something off about your cake and should have declined instead of having some; he was not wanting to be rude to you. All we’re trying to say is be more cautious and aware of what you’re doing.
Do not worry it is normal for them to sneeze. Sneezing means they have likely got something up their nose that isn’t supposed to be there. Usually it is just something like dust or smoke that they can get out on their own but on rare occasions they have ended up with a live insect up their nose. Usually they can get it out on their own if not you may have to use tweezers to help get it out. Before you complain about the task remember they’re not pleased or comfortable with it either so you’re both finding it unpleasant. If the tweezers don’t work you will have to use water to flush out the insect. Yes this isn’t pleasant for them either.
On rare occasions we have found unexpected critters sheltering in their bodies usually just under their skin or in hatches or ports in their bodies. Usually they can get them out on their own but sometimes they may need help. Remember to be careful when helping them so you don’t cause damages or pain; remember you two in particular Lloyd and Kai if you think this task and the critters you’re removing like spiders are creepy remember how unpleasant it is for them. How would you feel to have a spider un-wantedly living in you especially by your heart? On the less creepy side not all unexpected critters are unpleasant. Remember the time we kept hearing weird noises from Zane and he was acting a bit weird during a mission and we found he was carrying around a duckling in one of the storage ports in his abdomen to keep it warm while he waited to get a chance to take it to a rescue.
Do not play around with those shocking pranks with them. What feels like a minor shock to us feels like a major shock to them and causes problems for their hearts and temporary disruptions to their nervous systems. It's not just unpleasant but painful for them.
If they are having digestive problems you can give them rice or some form of flavoured milk with their medicine mixed in to help make them better. Do not mix oil in with anything you are trying to make them better not make problems worse. You can give them things with ginger to help. Their medicine is specially formulated for droids and is toxic to humans; it won’t kill you but will make you really sick. Do not drink it; this means you Cole.
If you find them passed out from the heat bring them to a safe location out of the sun preferably indoors. Putting a fan nearby blowing on them can help them cool down. Let them rest till they're cool but keep an eye on them. If they don’t seem to be cooling down or you want to help them out wrap an ice pack in a towel and place it in a compartment in their chests for about twenty minutes. That should help them cool down. You can also give them ice or other cool items like popsicles to consume to help cool their core temperatures. Make sure nothing emitting heat is near them and if you have to you can dress them in lighter less covering clothes to help them loose heat. A cool shower or placing them in a cold storage room can also be very helpful.
Let sleeping droids lie. They need their rest just like us and do not like to be disturbed. If they are sleeping they likely have a good reason for doing so therefore do not disturb them unless it is absolutely necessary. Warning if Zane is having a nightmare be careful about waking him or touching him; you could get hit or punched and Kai knows just how painful that can be and Zane didn't hit him with his full strength that time and he got a bloody nose and black eye. Sometimes placing a teddy in his arms can settle him a bit. Playing the audio we put on that special speaker which is stored in his nightstand also helps. Only try to wake him if it is absolutely necessary or he is in danger of hurting himself like falling out of bed. Pixals not as bad and doesn't suffer bad dreams as badly as Zane but she can still be just as dangerous so be very careful when dealing with her bad dreams to. The same methods for calming him down work on her too.
Droids are intolerant to citrus so be very guarded over giving them any citrus fruits, anything with extracts from citrus and any juices with citrus. If you do give them anything with citrus give them only a small amount. Anymore and they'll get sick and you'll need to give them some of their 'medicine'. Pop is also not good for them; the very high acidity to the stuff is bad for their systems disrupting the natural biota of their systems not to mention the acid used in them is citric based. We also recommend you don’t give them Coles chilli; we’ve had enough problems from that already. Also some of Wu’s special teas are a bad idea; droids react a bit differently (sometimes very differently and potentially dangerously) to the teas. Be careful if you give them any and know it may have unexpected and potentially dangerous effects for the rest of us.
Keep them indoors during thunderstorms, they can easily get struck by lightening and that will seriously stress their hearts. If they are unfortunate to get struck bring them indoors as quickly as possible to keep them from getting struck again. If struck they will get knocked offline. Just let them rest but keep a close eye on them. Hook up one of the portable system monitors for them to keep tabs on their vitals. They most likely will need a reboot after getting struck; for the reboot go to the chapter on reboots and recalibrations.
Remember their senses are stronger and more sensitive than ours meaning they are easily overstimulated. Do not play music loudly close to them, strong smells like from cologne bothers them (do not use much of it), certain fabrics and materials irritate their sense of touch; if they say something is bothering them it is so don’t joke with it. When their senses are overstimulated it causes functioning problems and slows their processors as their brains try to process the excess sensory information along with normal functioning's. Not only will this slow their brains functioning but can also cause problems for their emotional circuits making them at mild moody. Also take note if somethings bothering their senses they could be sensing something dangerous or serious for us such as toxic gasses that we are unaware of; sometimes they don’t realise or understand certain dangers as dangers for us. They just seem odd or irritating to droids.
Remember emotions are difficult for them to understand so try not to play around with them to them. Also don't assume because they are not showing anything that they are not feeling anything. They might not know or understand how to show or deal with an emotion so opt not to show anything to avoid confusions or problems. They also have a tendency to hide emotions especially if somethings wrong so watch for hints of this, they might be very small, but these can lead to bigger problems down the line. It's best if we deal with the problem as soon as we can and not let it prolong and get worse.
Sarcasm is also strange to them so be careful how you say or word things. Also be wary with idioms and common sayings, if they don’t understand them they may take it too literal. Remember Cole’s comment about being hungry enough to eat a horse and Zane made horse for dinner. That was just a weird consequence, we probably don’t want to find out how they will react to something like ‘break a leg’, ‘get something out of your system’, ‘give someone the cold shoulder’, or ‘beat around the bush’. At best they won’t understand them and just get confused at worst someone could get hurt.
If their skin is cut yes they can feel it, don’t poke at exposed wires that hurts too. They sense pain differently from us but they still feel it. If you are with one of them and us and the other isn’t around to deal with a scratch in their skin make sure nothing is exposed. If wires are sticking out carefully and gently put them back in their skin then wrap a cloth around the area like a bandage to keep debris out and from anything falling out or getting in. A small insect getting in their body could cause problems by chewing through wires or into their cooling system. Do not try to fix the damage yourself; we’re talking to you Kai. Repairing this damage requires a delicate touch not just plain welding like on a mech. We will do it or they will help each other fix it do not try to fix it yourselves. If they are cut and leaking cooling fluids, don’t worry they’ll shut that system down to stop the leak till the damage is fixed, don’t worry it is safe to touch the stuff and help them clean it up; it is not safe however to eat so wash it off your hands especially, and this is for you Cole, before eating. If you want to know more about these fluids check the section on their internal systems. They will explain the various substances in their body more thoroughly.
Do not give them bubble gum. They tend to just swallow it not realising it's not editable. This won't lead to too much problems, usually it just passes through their systems without problems, but it's not healthy for them and too much of it could build up and get stuck in their systems especially if other foreign debris it can get stuck to is in there (nindroids have a bad habit of eating things they aren’t supposed to; They get confused over what is and isn’t editable for them) which means it will have to be manually removed and we will make you do that remember this.
Yes they can get intestinal parasites but the chances of that are slim and plain de-wormers are effective at treating this. No despite what Kai thinks they can't transfer lice to you; they don't have blood which is what those bugs feed on so the bugs don't bother with them. They can't transfer fleas or ticks either again cause they have nothing for these insects. If you get them you got them from someone else not Zane or Pix. Maybe Kai be more careful where you put your hood in the future.
If for some reason they need you to help clean themselves cause they are having troubles doing it themselves you can use regular soaps and shampoos on them, they prefer using these. They both like smells reminiscent of woodlands, rain and lakes or seas. There is though a special cleaner for them. The main difference between this cleaner and normal ones is it helps better remove grease like from oils and neutralizes their cooling fluid and synth-regrow making them safer for others to touch. You use this cleaner if they have oil, their cooling fluid or synth-regrow on them. You can also use it to clean these materials off yourselves.
No noises from machines aren't some secret Robot language this is a myth so don't ask them if they can understand the noises. It's just noise to them like it is to us; we're especially addressing you here Kai.
Yes we know it scares you Kai that nindroids are highly carnivorous but this is the safest and by far most efficient diet and anatomy for nindroids and don't worry you have a greater chance of Cole eating you than Zane or Pixal; unless of course someone messes with their minds then we can't tell the chances of this happening but there is a low chance that will happen. We have a few methods in place to try and keep others from messing with their minds. We will admit though that these precautious don't always work and we have not been able to figure out a way to keep magical effects from messing with their minds. Also, Kai and Lloyd this is for you two, as far as we can tell neither of them appears to have programing that tells them to enslave or conquer humanity; at least we're pretty sure they don't. That doesn't mean something can't happen though to make them try to do this so we just have to be careful to make sure this doesn't happen.
Remember Zane and Pixal have extreme trust in us letting them put themselves in highly vulnerable positions like being put offline and for us to work on them including on all parts of their anatomy. Let’s not do anything to hurt this trust. If something happens to them we’re some of the few that can help them so we need their trust in order to keep them safe and well. Once damaged a nindroids trust can be hard to regain. Do not do anything, even as a prank, with them while they are in a vulnerable state especially don’t mess around with anything of their anatomy. Jay setting Zanes speech to pirate speak annoyed Zane and stressed his trust in Jay till Jay could prove he wasn’t going to do that, anything like that or mess with anything else of his body for a while.
Systems: an overall guide to their various internal systems. Each goes into detail about each system including how it works, what parts are involved with it, unique features to them, dangers associated with them, how to tell if the system is malfunctioning and how to fix the malfunction, how to work with these parts and repair them, etc. For their digestive system it includes a list of things that are harmful for them or that they can't have and a list of things that are good for them or safe to have. Examples:
Nervous System: includes their senses.
Their neural systems runs off a great deal of electricity so if they get injured and wires are exposed and you touch these wires you will get shocked and it’s quite a shock. Wait for them to shut off power to the region damaged then you can work with the wires.
Yes they can feel things so if you hit them don’t wonder if they can feel it. They do feel it; their senses of course just perceive things a bit differently from ours but they still feel it.
Because it runs off electricity their nervous systems are sensitive to electricity.
Their base vision is the same as ours however they have several added spectrums they can see in that they can turn on and off when needed. This includes the ability to see in the UV spectrum and to see temperatures. These added features however have the negative effect of making their vision sensitive to bright light; this is why they are irritated by bright light such as the midday sun and when your phone or computer screen is too bright. These features do let them see better in the dark but while better than our night vision it is not as good as a cats. Don’t joke that they have the eyes of a cat you’ll just confuse them. Commenting they have the vision of a cat or any other animal can also cause them to lecture you on the differences between their vision and an animals and we know that involves a lot of big complex words most of you don’t understand well so unless you want to hear them just keep your comments to yourselves.
Like with animals their sense of smell includes an ability to detect pheromones which means yes they can smell your fear. It also means they can smell if your ill so if they tell you that you smell odd or off don't brush it off. You might want to look into why they are commenting this. Remember how they both once kept commenting Cole smelt strange but was ignoring their observations and we found out later after we all got it that he had pink eye and was trying to hide it? They could detect the changes in pheromones the disease was causing to his body. They didn't understand or know the cause of what they sensed as off they could just sense something different. Even if it really isn't a huge problem don't just brush off what they are sensing as nothing. There could be something serious to it; we're pretty sure none of us want pink eye again right?
Respiratory System:
When submerged under water like instinct they stop their breathing to prevent getting water in their lungs. Sometimes however this behaviour may malfunction and they might accidently breathe in water. If that happens to prevent problems like mold and bad bacteria developing in their lungs you will have to drain the excess water. This is a simple procedure that shouldn’t be too hard for the likes of you to complete.
Parts for this system are pale pinkish in color and like all his synthetic organs dark strands of wiring are visible in the substance.
Cooling System:
This system runs all through their bodies and is used to maintain a stable and equal body temperature. The system consists of various tubes that hold a thermal carrying liquid which is constantly pumped through their bodies to maintain and redistribute heat and cold. The systems center is a decent sized structure housed in an insulated casing near their hearts. The structure includes a compressor which cools the fluid.
The fluids in their cooling systems operate through heat transfer. They are not toxic or dangerous but if consumed will make you sick. Always wash your hands after dealing with it. If they lose cooling fluid from an injury it can be replenished. Let us or them do this as you have to seal the damaged tubing first before refilling it.
If they receive an injury that damages their cooling system causing it to bleed don't worry too much they will shut down the system to prevent loosing too much of the liquid however this is dangerous as it means their temperature controls are offline and they can very easily overheat. You need to repair the damage as quickly as possible so they can get the system started or take measures to help keep their body core and head cool. You can repair the damage yourselves just be careful. You will need to use Synth-repair to do it so follow the instructions found in the basic repairs section very carefully. Remember Synth-repair is dangerous for our skin so be careful.
Digestive System:
The digestive systems of droids are very dangerous so great caution needs to be taken when working with it. We recommend none of you try any work on it and leave this kind of work for a professional. Coles the only one cautious enough to safely do such work but all of you are too grossed out by it to be safe with this kind of work.
Warning if you do something that ends up with them swallowing something they aren’t supposed to eat and it could get stuck in their systems or could hurt them like cutting up their insides we’re going to make you remove the items with your bare hands. Yes this is very dangerous and yes their digestive fluids will eat some of your skin but maybe that injury will teach you to be more careful in the future.
The fluids in their digestive systems consist of hydrochloric acid which is stronger than that of humans as well as very powerful enzymes and bacteria much like what you’d find in a bear or vulture. If you get them on your skin you have to wash them off as quickly as possible as they will easily eat away at your flesh. If they do eat away at your skin you’re going to need to use a special cleaner to stop the enzymes and bacteria from continuing to eat away at you and you will get a pretty nasty infection from it. Don't worry it's easy to treat and generally won't leave scarring. Do not worry if their systems do digest some of you it won’t turn them into man eaters nor will them biting you do that despite what the myths say.
Remember their bite strength is comparable to that of a bears and even though their teeth are like those of ours in shape due to their metal make they are sharper so can do much more damage. Luckily they usually won't bite unless they are defending themselves and they have few other options. Best not to give them a reason to bite. Instead of forcibly restraining them if somethings wrong use the app we made to in a sense sedate them to settle things.
Things that are safe for them include any form of meat including shellfish and insects, rice, apples, peaches, watermelon (make sure they don't eat the rind it isn't healthy for them), potatoes, corn but not the cob (you have to watch Zane with this he tends to eat the whole thing), breads (in moderation, too much is not healthy for them), peas, beans, peppers but not spicy ones, carrots, lettuce, dairy products, chocolates and candies (nothing though that uses citrus like orange flavoured or sour flavours nor emulates a citrus flavor), tomatoes (a little bit is fine but these are high in acidity so they cannot have too much), tea, pineapples and grapes. Things that are not safe or good for them include citrus fruits including juices made from them (you can use lemon for seasoning but do not use too much like Kais seasoning too much also one small citrus fruit won’t seriously hurt them but don’t let them have anymore for at least three to four days; droids are basically citrus intolerant), most juices (for some reason a lot of them are made with citric acid which comes from citrus for some reason when they don't need to be; we think this is done to give them more vitamin C but nindroids don't need that and citrus is harmful for them), avocados, highly acidic things like pop (they can have a small 250 ml cup once in a while not a whole bottle Cole not even when it is just 500 ml), spicy things including spices and peppers, bananas and cucumbers for some reason, nuts, most leafy plant items like spinach broccoli and kale, fermented foods or drinks and caramel (if it somehow gets past the synthetics in their mouth or throat it could clog up joints or connectors in their body leading to problems so best not to play with this stuff).
Do not feed them cat or dog food. Just because they have a similar meat high diet pet food is not good for them or a good idea. Jay did it once as a joke but we shouldn't play around with this; they actually found the fish cat food not too bad. Along with not being healthy for them, cat food has additives meant for cats that aren’t healthy for a droids system causing imbalances, knowing how they think we don't want them growing a liking to it and end up thinking tuna cat food can be a substitute for actual tuna and use it as such. Do you want to end up eating cat food instead of regular tuna? We know Cole might not be too bothered but we doubt the rest of you will like that. We know we won't plus cat food isn't safe for humans for the same reasons it isn't safe for droids.
Most of the components of this system are a sickly green tinted dark purple color. The color helps keep the interior of the system dark for the symbiotes in it. The materials in their mouths is a normal pinkish to not appear different from a regular persons. The wiring in these parts isn't easily visible when the systems off but when it is active some circuits, largely major ones, give off a faint icy blue glow.
A section on their skeleton and musculature.
A section on their hearts:
It may look fragile but the material is stronger than it looks. It is not invincible however. It is also capable of sensing touch so don't poke at it. Not only do they find having it touched without their consent uncomfortable but when it is touched without them preparing to have it touched as a self defense the material releases a serious electric shock in defence. This is not only painful for them but drains some energy which isn't good if they're low on energy and it temporarily stresses the material. Depending on the severity of the touch and the shock given this can be for only a few minutes to nearly over half an hour.
A section on the more tech work to them like calibrations and reboots plus various useful codes to work with them like for calming them down, sedating them, etc.
Zane and Pixal each get a section with stuff unique to them for the others to know.
Zane:
He finds chores relaxing and calming. Clutter and mess bother him.
Kids make him a bit nervous as they often ask him very personal questions about his workings which he isn't comfortable talking to others about and they often make what he considers weird comments or remarks about nindroids which he often doesn't understand. Some also try to play with the panel in his arm or want to see his inner workings which he is very uncomfortable with.
Zane doesn't do well with magic. He doesn't understand it well and when it is used on him particularly if it affects his mind it greatly unsettles him.
Pixal:
Pixal better understands what it means to be human and understands sayings and idioms better.
She loves when given a task as she not only enjoys working with her hands but enjoys the challenge of improving on a task. You ask her to repair something and not only will she repair it but find a way to improve on it and make it better/more efficient.
Pixal is more tolerating and comfortable of magic and isn't as bothered by it but like Zane hates when it messes with her mind.
Some side notes:
When you think of it having thought he was human for quite some time before finding out he was a droid likely would really have messed Zane up making it hard for him to tell what is and isn't natural or normal for him leading to quite a bit of confusion and strange habits and behaviors.
Kai strikes me as one of those who acts all tough but in reality can't stand the sight of blood or gore and would pass out from some of the simplest of injuries. I'm pretty sure the bandage he has on his face since season 8 he's afraid to take off nervous of what is underneath so it's now just melded into his skin for being there so long.
I take that Lloyd and Kai are probably the most uncomfortable and least skilled with working on and understanding Zane and Pixals anatomy. Coles probably no expert but is rather mature and responsible with it and will try his best.
Alsatian is an old term for the German Shepherd; I thought it more fitting as it doesn’t relate to an easily recognizable real world location.

Hello! If you want could you do hcs for a s/o that’s really sporty? And bc of that they don’t always have a lot of free time? If that makes sense??
A/N: Babe this is pretty much my life. I figure skate and I used to play soccer and softball, my younger brother does travel baseball and basketball every year, and my ex-irl-partner plays ice hockey. We’re always at baseball fields or ice rinks or basketball courts so I definitely understand what you mean <3 hope you enjoy!
DARRY CURTIS
You were definitely a high school athlete and maybe you and your family were able to pay the rest of your college tuition with your athletic scholarship and get you into school
Either way, when you and Darry were in high school, you guys were the athlete power couple
He was always busy with football, and you were always busy with your own sports!
Some of the only off time you guys would get would be when one of you had to take some time off for an injury or when the seasons weren’t running
But, Darry understands what you’re going through and tries his best to fit himself into your schedule where you want him
He’s used to being busy because of sports, he knows what’s going on and will not be offended by you being busy!
SODAPOP CURTIS
It depends on the context on Soda’s gonna feel about you being so busy with sports
He already does his best to go to all of your games, he loves watching you play whenever he the chance
Heaven forbid he has to work on the day you have a game, whoever’s on the shift with him is going to hear him complain all morning
But when you have to cancel plans with him because a new practice was scheduled or the team decided to do something, Soda gets a little upset
Granted, he knows it’s not your fault but it hurts a little, y’know? It doesn’t feel real great
Nevertheless, he’s excited to get whatever time he can with you, even if that means working a little longer some days so he has free time when you have free time
PONYBOY CURTIS
Ponyboy is a track star, remember? So he’s used to having a busy schedule during sports seasons and would completely understand what you’re going through
Unless you’re on the track team with him, there’s a high chance that your practices/games/meets aren’t going to match up
You might have a practice while Pony’s free and maybe his track meet starts just as soon as your game is over
Ponyboy’s pretty go with the flow I think, at least about this, so he’s pretty alright with finding places in your schedules to figure out where y’all can get together
If your schedules line up and you manage to make it to his meet or he can go watch you play?
It’s a really big deal and everyone’s super excited to see the other waiting in the stands
DALLAS WINSTON
Expect complaints from him about your lack of free time, Dally is a very needy boyfriend and that’s just the truth
He wants your attention and he wants it all the time so when you tell him that you can’t go on friday night because you have practice, there will be a small fight
It’s worse when the sports plans pop up last minute and messes up the plans you had with Dal
It doesn’t matter to Dally that you’re free on Saturday because he’s already planning on taking you out Sunday, he doesn’t care that you’re now busy on Sunday and his plans won’t work
Being completely honest? I wouldn’t be surprised if y’all broke up over a fight about stuff like that ^^
But that’s not what matters here, we can talk more about that later
JOHNNY CADE
A lot of times, people don’t understand how exhausting playing sports can be, not having free time is really tiring
Johnny is more than happy to learn about your schedule and wait for you to have time <3
He likes going to your events! Sometimes he’ll drag Dally or Pony along too, you’ll have a little cheering squad in the stands, it’s super cute!
I feel like Johnny’s one of those partners who knows your schedule better than you do
Like, he knows when and where you have practice, you might as well just ask him where you’re playing that week
All in all, super supportive, one of the least likely out of the boys to be upset about your lack of free time
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
Two-Bit. I feel like he’s always involved in something, he’s a social butterfly y’know, so you not having much free time isn’t too surprising
Y’all make it work, you fit each other in so that no one gets upset
Sometimes, Two wants more time with you so he’ll pick you up from practices and games and accompany you to wherever you’re going
If you have after school practice or something? Two’ll take you home and sit with you while you do your homework
Gotta keep those grades up if you want to keep playing sports so why wouldn’t you want to have Two there with you while you do it?
A few kisses for every few problem you get done, the system works quite well and everyone’s happy
STEVE RANDLE
Steve’s volatile, his reactions are different depending on the situation
If he knows in advance that you’re going to be busy, say you’ve got a tournament a few towns over and you can’t make it to the date he was trying to set up, Steve understands!
He’s generally very patient as long as he’s forewarned of what’s going on in your schedule
But when things are moved around last minute and games or practices are added to the schedule, Steve loses some of his patience
He’s not upset with you, just upset that your sport, something you love, keeps you from him, which is something you also love
It’s best if your team decides to stick to a schedule, Steve and everyone else involved is much happier that way
TIM SHEPARD
Firstly, this boy loves going to your games and it’s always a possibility for him to bring some of the gang along
So you might have a greaser cheering squad for you, all courtesy of Timothy Shepard
If Tim is ever upset about your lack of free time, he won’t show it much, his emotions tend to get pretty locked down
He’d be a little aloof, a little quietly ticked off because he does want his time with you, he wants you around him
Tim’s upset that you have no time, and he’s sort of like Dallas in that aspect because y’all are gonna fight about it
He doesn’t mean half of what he says, he never does when y’all fight but just try and keep in mind that he’s really not mad at you
CURLY SHEPARD
If Curly doesn’t get to go on a date with you once a week, you’re gonna have to expect a tantrum from him, it’s almost inevitable
I mean full on tantrum, screaming and yelling, dirty looks and piercing glares and mean name calling
He understands that you have sports but often doesn’t care that you’re not really allowed to skip practices and games to hang out with him
And if he goes full tantrum, you’ve got two paths you can take: scream back at him to enforce your point or never raise your voice and let Curly tire himself out
If you manage to convince him, he’ll be sitting in the stands during your next practice or game, watching you play whatever sport you do
Waves you over after you’re done and apologizes under his breath, so quietly you can barely hear him and gives you a soft kiss to say he’s sorry

Have any Dathomiri courtship rituals rattling around in your noggin?
Hm.
This could be very silly or very sweet. Maybe both. Eh.
So Nightchildren… that’s an entire blood-soaked mess, so we won’t go there at the moment. The rest of the clans are like good gods would y’all PLEASE stop killing people?!
So when person A likes person B, you’re going to have the usual awkward teenage heck of just “maybe if I stand in their presence and just EXIST, it’ll dawn on them by osmosis.” Those are treated informally, as are relationships outside the main marriage. There’s usually only one Spouse, though there are always multiple, of course. There can be casual romantic partners out side one particular relationship or serious ones. Just depends on what the individual wants or is comfy with. You enter into something like this without a current partner being totally aware of and okay with the entire situation, you’re a butthole.
But then you have serious, actual dating. Like “hey I’m looking for a mate and you’re someone I’m interested in” type things. To announce romantic feelings, gifts are pretty standard. The point is to show you’re interested in the PERSON. Flowers or chocolate won’t do, unless you have taken the time to get to know that person and KNOW they enjoy them. There’s no “the guy/girl/other needs to make the first move” mentality though in heterosexual relationships, it’s frequently the female to make the first move, as Dathomir society is widely matriarchal. Relationships outside that one category are really just up to who’s bravest. The person who’s received the gift can of course decline the offer or accept. Then it’s their turn to put the work in, if they’re intent on building a relationship. They’ll give a gift usually after a month. Or. Not. If they don’t like what they’re learning about this person, they can return their gift and say adios.
The next stage also involves gifts. But these aren’t tangible. These are emotional and to be experienced. Taking someone on a trip to watch an aurora. Sharing a festival with them. A hunting trip. Even a sparring session. That kind of thing. These gifts are not supposed to be only something they’d like. This is supposed to be from the life of the gift giver. Something THEY want to SHARE. Something close to their hearts. If their possible person is all into it, great. If not… time to probably call it quits.
These two stages are meant to end bad relationships quickly and spare people from getting in over their heads and then getting their hearts broken.
After the gifts are exchanged in a promising relationship, then it comes to time. Intimacy can happen in this stage; there’s no stigma about sex on Dathomir. Just as long as you’re responsible. This is kind of a practice stage. It’s also a testing ground. How much time is everyone comfy spending together? Do they want to live together? Are we talking marriage maybe or just hook ups when they’re lonely? Do they want kids? This is to see how deep everyone wants to go. This stage can be the last and for many, it is. It’s comfortable and doesn’t have risks. Children can be born from this stage but they will be considered part of their birthing parent’s family.
To propose marriage isn’t flippant in the slightest. To become part of a clan, there are trials to beat. To join families, there are also trials to beat. Combat, hunting, survival, feats of strength or endurance… all possible members of the potential marriage must endure the trial with their potential mates. If they don’t survive… that’s how hard life on Dathomir can be. A shame. But a reality. If the trial reveals a weakness in the relationship, that’s what it was made for. If they master their trial, though, then it’s party time! Many marriages take place IMMEDIATELY after a trial. With the proof of love and commitment and trust still lingering on the to-be-weds.

Can I get setting prompt 29 for Finny or Snake please?
absolutely! I went with Finny bcus sunshine baby excited about flowers <3
↪ 𝑺𝑬𝑻𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺
The greenhouse on your property is something you’re very passionate about.
It really is the envy of many other households; while your estate itself is nothing overly grand, your garden and greenhouse are what you’re known for. You can definitely thank your gardener for that, but to say you don’t spend a lot of your time here tending to it as well would be a lie.
While your brother talks business with Ciel Phantomhive, you’ve been able to slip away to the garden. The greenhouse in particular is where you feel happiest and most at peace, lying on the ground among the bushes and potted plants. It’s quite warm inside, so (much to your brother’s and the gardener’s exasperation) you often end up taking a lovely midday nap there on the dirt amid the flowers.
You’re there right now, although you haven’t fallen asleep quite yet. You’re simply relaxing, soaking up the sun and breathing in the exquisite mix of fragrances the flowers give off.
Sometimes you feel a bit trapped in the manor, having not found the talent for business that your brother has, and with no other hobbies. You think you’d be rather more content to just stay out here and garden. Who cares if you get your clothes and hands dirty? If it makes you happy, then why not do it?
The sound of the glass door opening jolts you gently out of your lazy daydreaming. You push yourself up, though you’re mostly hidden by the plants to whoever’s come in.
However, you can see him. It’s a young man with short blonde hair, tucked back with hair clips in a few places. He’s got a wide-brimmed hat strung about his neck, dressed in very casual, revealing clothes, and… those eyes. They’re bright teal and sparkling as he looks around the greenhouse.
“Incredible!” he breathes, almost a whisper of disbelief. He takes a step forward, only for his focus to be pulled in every direction all at once. “Stargazer lilies… Lenten roses… gladiolus… chrysanthemums… daffodils… look at them all…!”
Oh, this sweet thing! He’s named every flower he’s looked at perfectly. You can’t remember the last time a person got one of these right, unless they were looking at a common rose or tulip. Most people aren’t half as interested in plants as you are.
He’s a visitor, isn’t he? Maybe he’s with Lord Phantomhive. Even if he’s some kind of intruder, he’s the most pleasant one you’ve ever heard of. The idea of a burglar who breaks into a house just to fawn over someone’s plants makes you giggle.
“There are more over here!” you call. You lift a hand up to wave at him. “We have some gorgeous sunflowers just starting to bloom.”
The boy lets out a squeak, instantly turning toward you with those big doe eyes staring in shock at you. He does step toward you, although his face is starting to turn pink. “O-oh, goodness… I’m so sorry! Lord (Surname) said there was no one in here if I wanted to look around…”
You get to your feet and smile at your guest. “He’s my brother. He probably thought I was in the main garden instead of the greenhouse. I’m (Name), and it’s nice to meet you. If it weren’t a stupid question, judging by the way you rattled off all those flower names, I’d ask if you liked plants. So instead I’ll just say… I’m impressed that you knew them all!”
“O-oh… oh, (Lord/Lady) Name!!” He’s quick to offer a bow, and clutches his hands against his chest when he straightens back up. “I’m sorry! My name’s Finnian, but you can call me FINNY if you like. And… and thank you! I’m… Lord Phantomhive’s gardener. This place is amazin’… your own gardener must be a real dab hand!”
“Of course, she’s great. I spent a lot of time out here myself, though, so… I like to help where I can. This isn’t all my doing, but I love being out with the flowers.” You won’t pretend that your own face isn’t a bit red by this point too.
After all, you haven’t met anyone who likes plants the way you do. You’re actually not even sure the gardener is nearly as passionate as you are. “Actually… I spend a lot of my time out here. It’s a treat to find someone else who’d sleep in a garden if they could,” you laugh.
“Would if I could, certainly!” He beams at you, and though he’s still blushing, he’s refreshingly unabashed about showing his excitement. When was the last time you saw someone smile so big? You’re only too happy to turn yourself toward him, like you’re a flower and his smile is a ray of sunshine. “The best part of my day is realizin’ I’ve been workin’ in the garden so much I got dirt under my fingernails that ain’t scrubbin’ away.”
Just like that, his blush deepens, turning red all the way down to his neck. “Ahah, oh, gosh, no… th-that makes me sound like I ain’t clean or somethin’, though… I just mean…”
You shake your head. “No, I understand! I wish I could just roll around in the garden and get my clothes as covered in dirt and grass as possible without someone scolding me. You’re not alone in the feeling.”
After a few seconds of thought, you hold your hand toward him. “Would you… like a little tour of the greenhouse? I could show you the garden, too, if you like.”
He blinks owlishly at you, as if you’ve just offered him something he never knew he wanted but now he can’t live without. “That… that would be alright?”
“Would I have offered if it wasn’t?” you tease, and quickly take his hand before he has a chance to overthink it. “Why don’t I show you those sunflowers first?”
“O-oh… yeah…” Almost in a daze, he just nods, letting you guide him. “Please. Lead the way.”
Oh, you intend to.

B’s-LOG May 2023 - Utakata no Uchronia Short Story Translation [Devoted Servant]
Also available on the official website
The curtains open in a single rush followed by the windows being thrown open mercilessly.
“N-Nghh…”
I squirm and curl up under my blankets.
I want to escape the dazzling light and cool morning air that fills the room.
“Princess.”
“…I’m awake…”
“Say that after you get out from your covers. And don’t fall asleep again, understand?”
The sound of his footsteps fade away.
(…I’m sleepy.)
I want to stay in my soft, warm bed forever.
(Mmm~~~~~………)
I can’t open my drooping eyelids.
With a hazy sense habit and obligation, I reluctantly step out from my blankets.
I languidly slide down from my bed and wash my face with the lukewarm water that Awayuki has prepared for me. Then I’m finally awake.
After I finish changing my clothes, Awayuki returns as if he anticipated it.
“…See? I got up properly, didn’t I? Great job, right?”
“Yes, yes. Very good.”
When I sit in front of the dresser like usual, Awayuki glances at me in the mirror and frowns.
“Princess… I told you to sleep early yesterday, didn’t I?”
“Hm?”
“Your eyelids are swollen. Did you stay up late reading a book again?”
My heart skips a beat.
In the mirror, my face looks just as it always does. But it appears Awayuki can see the difference.
“Your complexion isn’t bad… However, I hope you’re not scrubbing too hard when you wash your face.”
“I’m doing it like usual. Like usual!”
I wash my face gently.
Awayuki has mentioned this many times over the years. Apparently, I have strong skin, so it doesn’t get rough even if I scrub it hard.
“…Princess? Is there something on your mind?”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing! I was just thinking that you’re the same as always.”
“? What are you trying to say?”
“Um, well… it seems you have your own personal perception of ‘me’, don’t you?”
Awayuki, who’s standing behind me, inadvertently cracks a smile.
“Why, of course I do. I have to. After all, I’m the one who knows our precious princess the best.”
My servant is truly dedicated to his job.
He knows me more than I know myself.
“I’d like a bellflower hairpin today.”
“As you wish.”
He gently brushes my hair back with his gloved fingers.
I gaze absentmindedly at the mirror as he softly and carefully combs my hair with a boxwood comb.
“What’s the matter?”
Although Awayuki’s gaze was lowered to focus on my hair, he immediately notices my stare.
“Say, Awayuki. I’m grown up, aren’t I?”
“You are.”
“So I’m already an adult?”
“According to the laws of Itehari, yes.”
“…Isn’t it about time then? Don’t you think I can at least tie up my own hair?”
“Absolutely not.”
I couldn’t get a single edge in.
Awayuki cuts me off, his expression unchanging.
“You’re clumsy, so you’re not suited for this type of task.”
“T-That’s not true! We won’t know unless I try…”
“I understand. But I can’t allow my princess to walk around with messy hair. Let it go.”
He didn’t have to say it like that!
A pout forms on my lips as I grumble.
“You treat me like a child no matter how much time passes.”
“…That’s not true. You are a proper adult now.”
“Do you mean it?”
“Yes. When you were young, I helped you change your clothes and I brushed your teeth—”
“You’re talking about a long, long time ago!!”
Seeing me so offended, Awayuki laughs out loud.
He combs my hair with affection. He speaks, sounding a bit more earnest than usual.
“Please, don’t take my job as a servant away. I’m here to take care of you.”
“Oh, you…”
I let out a sigh with a tinge of exasperation.
It’s not that I absolutely want to tie my hair myself.
It feels good when Awayuki plays with my hair and I can’t say I have any complaints—.
“…There’s nothing I can do about you, huh, Awayuki? You can’t do without me.”
However, I simply feel a little worried about the workaholic attitude that my reliable servant shows from time to time.
Yet he has no idea how I feel. He keeps his composed expression behind me.
“Well, you’re the one who took me in. You have to take responsibility for that.”
“Of course. I’m not going to send you away all of a sudden, you know? You’re mine, Awayuki.”
“That’s right. That’s all I need.”
Awayuki smiles, his eyes closing in satisfaction.
“…I can’t live without you.”

@gnotknormal replied to your post “Why are birds considered dogs?”
"We can't be sure if not letting pet birds fly is bad for them. There's debate there. But we are however, entirely in mutual agreement that parakeets make great babysitters!"
I have a good friend who has two parakeets, and she lets them fly around her home. I don't know anything about whether they like it or not but I would assume that if you are their primary caregiver then there is probably no harm done. If the bird was doing fine in the wild (as many of these species were) then why shouldn't it be able to do so indoors?
The main problem with birds as babysitters comes from how easy it is for an adult human to "accidentally" kill one while trying to calm down a crying child ("oh no the baby won't stop screaming! better just throw something at him!"), which can lead to serious injury. But with mammalian pets this risk is much smaller because of things like body mass -- even relatively small dogs will get up in your face before biting you. A crying infant might put its head into another person's lap without getting hurt by accident. So maybe you could use wolves instead, although my knowledge here is limited too…
In fact, any animal which regularly interacted with humans over long periods of time would eventually become domesticated, since it would need to deal with all sorts of strange situations without having full control of what happens next. This doesn't mean we should treat every stressed-out animal as a potential pet babysitter; some animals simply aren't cut out for that kind of thing despite being tame enough to live among us. For example, cats can learn how to talk pretty well when young but most never develop true language skills. Someone might try raising one as a dog substitute anyway, but this wouldn't work out very well unless the cat had social anxiety issues, in which case it already resembles a dog somewhat. As a rule, any creature whose behavior towards people seems more familiar than yours tends to be best suited to living alongside us (if raised properly). That includes dogs, horses, sheep, cattle, camels, reindeer, llamas . . .
But back to the original point: Parrots make great babysitters in theory, provided you know what you're doing, whereas dogs tend to only act as such in practice. Unlike parrot owners, dog breeding programs have gone on far longer. Consequently, our understanding of dog domestication is way ahead of where it stands for other creatures, including parrots. This means that even though scientific consensus still supports the idea that dogs evolved through selective breeding based on useful traits rather than simple mutualism, there isn't yet enough evidence for scientists to confidently say that.

10 reasons why I hate Hogwarts as an HoH person
July was Disability Pride Month, but I came up with something I want to write about only now.
I don’t really see a lot of representation of disability of all kinds in HP fanfics, and Hard of Hearing or Deaf folks aren’t really depicted in the stories either. And I get it—it’s hard to portray it well if you haven’t experienced the difficulties yourself. That’s why I won’t talk about other disabilities—while I have a general idea of what may be a problem at Hogwarts regarding them, I will only discuss the details referring to HoH/Deaf folks like myself. I will also propose ideas to fix certain problems—and maybe it could be used in fanfiction, too?
Reasons why as an HOH/Deaf person I wouldn’t feel good at Hogwarts:
Electronic devices not working or going haywire.
All those substitutes for magic Muggles use – electricity, and computers and radar, and all those things – they all go haywire around Hogwarts, there’s too much magic in the air.'
Goblet of Fire - pages 475-476 - Bloomsbury - chapter 28, The Madness of Mr Crouch
It is canon that electricity doesn’t work well in the castle, and electronic devices might also go haywire. So, how are hearing aids and cochlear implants supposed to work? Better to take them off, eh?
2. Your typical wake-up alarms won’t work for me.
And given that the electronic devices wouldn’t work either—my pillow watch would be freaking useless—how am I supposed to wake up on time for the class? Anyone volunteering to wake me up every day for seven years?
3. Classrooms aren’t really adapted to my needs.
Only a few classrooms have a clear view of the teacher no matter where you sit. The rest of them contains just rows of chairs and tables the way you have them in Muggle classrooms—and trust me, unless you’re sitting in the first row, it’s difficult to follow what the teacher is saying. Especially if the devices that usually help with that aren’t working.
^ This would be ideal. You can clearly see the teacher and other students and lip read.
Also, Hogwarts is a castle—with high roofs and sound bouncing off the walls. The echo is another factor that makes the sound reception more difficult, especially in the Great Hall.
(The Great Hall is my personal hell. I would be asking people around me to provide explanations of what is being said.)
4. Quidditch commentary isn’t friendly, either.
What are they even saying from that box at the far end of the pitch?!
5. Spell pronunciation
Do you remember how Hermione was trying to teach Ron how to pronounce Wingardium Leviosa? Yeah, if Ron—a hearing person—had a problem with that, imagine the struggle of a Hard of Hearing person. Was there a pronunciation guide in the textbook? No? Oh.
6. Sign language interpreters
Do they even exist in JKR’s world?
7. Normalising not speaking.
Sometimes I really don’t want to talk, and I don’t even answer any calls or go out. Sometimes I just don’t want to use my voice and write things down instead. Couldn’t that be an option at Hogwarts, too? Do you have to order everything in Hogsmeade and the Diagon Alley using your voice?
8. Place to relax without my hearing aids—provided that they work?
Trust me, wearing hearing aids/the implant the whole day and adapting to the hearing world is tiring. I really wish there was a room designed specifically for HOH/Deaf students where we could just sit on the couches, turn off and/or take out completely our devices, and nobody would bother us when we are there.
It would be difficult to find quiet and a moment like that in the castle, even during the weekends—I couldn’t even stay in your room and take off your hearing aids, because I would be sharing that room with other students and there’s always going to be someone who doesn’t respect my boundaries. (It happens more often than you think.)
9. I wouldn’t hear the enemy creeping up on me.
I wouldn’t hear people wanting to talk to me either if they shouted at me from the other side of the noisy corridor. Also, following a discussion by the table in the Great Hall or school corridors or Quidditch stands? Forget it.
10. Stereotypes
I’m sure Hogwarts is not free of them, especially since there’s no real education towards disability or any kind of savoir-vivre included even in the school rules. A Hard of Hearing person might also look more aloof, finding it hard to socialise and actually hear what other people are saying. They might also experience speech difficulties—and kids can be cruel about that sometimes.
And there’s no real psychologist at Hogwarts anyway.
Solutions:
Subtitle spell. Everything people say would appear above their heads, visible only to the person that cast the spell. LIKE HOLY SHIT, it would make life so much easier if such a spell existed!
Spell that translates speech to sign language and vice versa. That would be awesome too! Also, Hogwarts could hire sign language interpreters.
Waking spell or a pillow that buzzes slightly.
Spell pronunciation guide in the textbooks. I’m sure it would help literally everyone.
Education. Please educate the kids and teach them the savoir-vivre that might literally make life easier for everyone.
Creating a room where you can take off your hearing aids and nobody is going to disturb you!
Boards where you can write your order at Hogsmeade/Diagon Alley. A spell that helps transferring your thoughts to paper.
You can have animals at Hogwarts—so why not have guide dogs or even cats for Hard of Hearing too?
Extensive use of non-verbal spells. Perks: no pronunciation torture, no voice required, no hearing aids required.
Spells that alert you when someone wants to talk to you or there’s danger ahead and you can’t hear it.
Yeah, Hogwarts would be so much friendlier if all of those solutions were incorporated into teaching and daily-life.
That's all, thanks for reading that ramble 🥰

Rascals
*Already on the rifflist, but I didn’t like how the original submissioner made it vague.
It’s a comedy, slice-of-life webcomic drawn and written by Kevin Challenger (AKA Mastergodai).
It stars our plucky young adult named Chrissy starting off her new semester at college. She meets a guy named Quick after being confused as one of his best friends during a prank off, which she proceeds to attack him for. Afterwards, the two quickly start growing some interests in each other. Follow the adventures of Chrissy, Quick, and the rest of the oddball cast as they go through various misadventures of juvenile debauchery and cheesy romantic drama.
This comic…. This comic here! There’s a lot of things to say about it. It’s definitely one of those really bad fanservice-y types of comics that want to be an anime, but feel like just the author cramming in enough clichés, jokes and pop-culture references as possible. Don’t get me wrong. There is a story between the cast members that the comic tries to explore and even flesh out a few of them through concentrated plots depending on who you’re talking to. But this damn thing is lazy in how they pace them (and also written if you ask me) and even at times gets bored of them during a storyline with how often the author cuts them off and moves on to something else. The author also likes to use as many sex jokes and cheesecake related scenes and jokes as possible in the comic. It’s like a harem anime when these scenes come up, especially when Quick is involved. Dialogue can also sound childish and awkward in some places, especially when it comes to the adults. I don’t want to sound like there aren’t any good comedic moments in there. Because there is. But they’re as few and far between as you can imagine, unless you’re one of those readers that can handle all the mediocrity.
The art. God the art. I could save you the trouble and say it’s a cheaper worse version of Chalodillo’s art, especially Las Lindas (which it very much is), but no. That would be too easy and I need to go a little deeper in it. The art style looks stiff with the characters looking like they’re placed on top of the background rather than with it. Action shots are not choreographed or even posed correctly. They feel like they are just stiffly placed over dynamic looking panels. And the backgrounds look like stalk images you would use for a dating sim. Which isn’t bad completely. It’s not bad to use stalk images for backgrounds. I’ve seen enough comics that use that to avoid having to draw them and can fit it in a scene (examples include Carry On and Endless Summer Syndrome being ones that can do it). But most of the time with Rascals, it feels cheap and pretty noticeable if you look at it long enough, but since these are all just backgrounds you won’t pay attention to it long enough as it does its job. It’s still something to mention though. His art is a far cry from how it started where I actually liked when there was a lot of effort put into it with how characters looked and mostly designed. With backgrounds that still weren’t great, but more fitting to use. They were still stalk images, but they were used fine enough when he didn’t rely on them too often unless they were really needed for some scenes. Personally, I would say if he went with how he used to draw the characters but with improved designs and drawing techniques, it would’ve been a well drawn comic to look through and stand out more compared to what we have now. I can’t say the art style he chose for the comic nowadays is “bad”, but it just feels too cheap and recycled to say it’s anything more than okay.
Overall, it’s a piece of work to go through and read. To be honest, it depends on the person reading it. You’ll either like it, hate it, or be stuck in the middle of it. Where you can enjoy most of it, but be very aware of its flaws. Say what you want about Las Lindas, but that comic has more character and story development with a better fit art style than this one. Which is ironic because I despise how the art style looked in the beginning of Las Lindas besides a few characters than Rascals. It understands what it wants to be (or at least tries to anyway) than Rascals where that comic screws around a lot of the times with only a few good qualities in between the rougher parts.
Well, a comic that makes Las Lindas look and sound better in comparison is certainly something. And no offense but this is the first time I’ve heard of “stalk images”, are you sure you don’t mean stock images?

I figured I should make a pinned post expanding on our bio so hey! We’re alters within a system who wanted our own separate account! We’ll post virtually whatever we want here but it might involve some syscourse and such, so if you’re wary of that stuff feel free to block us. Click the read more to see some other stuff like our BYI!
BYI
We support systems of *all* origins which means we are pro endo/general non traumagenic systems and will talk about that here!
Everyone *is* free to interact but if we see you being creepy/gross/not a great person or just disagree with you we block freely! And all anons will probably be responded to, even hate anons if we ever get any
In addition, we are strictly anti-harassment. No matter someone’s stances on internet discourse (syscourse, shipping, transid, etc.), we do not agree with harassment, death threats, suibating, or the like. Block buttons exist for a reason and should be used instead of trying to hurt someone. Always choose to be kind instead of hurting others
Sometimes we can’t be on 24/7 but we love talking to people so feel free to dm/ask us really anything!
We’re also ND and may speak about those issues on occasion, but won’t disclose exact disorders unless it’s beneficial
SFW agere blogs are very cool but we do cuss quite a bit if you’re uncomfortable with that for any reason!
We are ship neutral as we prefer to stay away from ship discourse altogether
At the moment we won’t be doing intros but we might in the future, we’ll discuss it!
DNI
No explicit DNI because we think people should be allowed to interact without consequence but if you’re just generally a bad person we will block you and depending on what happened we may even post about it so just don’t be weird/gross/creepy in general! We also aren’t going to go through every blog that follows us so don’t be scared to follow at all!
About Us!
We use I/Me and We/Us pronouns interchangeably. As a system we will collectively use He/They/It pronouns. We are solely traumagenic.
Not having a DNI doesn’t mean we don’t disagree with certain ideologies or actions, we simply can’t know everything about someone immediately. We understand it can be a very damaging thing to be judged immediately (personal experience) and instead prefer to be open to conversation. Though, if the way you act is something we disagree with, no matter your ideologies, we may block you for comfort. If you have opposite ideologies to ours but attempt to talk with everyone peacefully, respectfully, and with kindness, we may not block you. It really is up to our own discretion and preference. For my last point at current, I just want to wish everyone a lovely day!

the reality of long-term solitude (III)
i’m not so great at structuring these things. imma just write as i go but basically something a friend told me a couple of years ago is starting to click. i find that oftentimes i accept what people tell me as true in the moment while i still have my doubts, because i don’t particularly enjoy discourse unless it’s just so pertinent to moving the conversation forward. i believe we were talking about what we’re looking for in a partner, and i said i want someone who completely understands me. i had the presumption that if i met someone that i was already very compatible with, that in due time she’d come to, solve me perhaps. it’s funny because that’s the last thing i want from anyone else, even friends of mine. i believed that whoever i end up with for a long term romantic relationship would domesticate me in a way. i had a mental image in my head of myself as a pet, and my partner as my owner, but not even in a ddlg kind of way as it probably sounds. i don’t particularly like being dominated or what have you, i’m pretty ‘vanilla’ on those fucking bsdm tests. part of me, i suppose, was and still am tired of living, in the traditional sense. i think if i found someone that i was extraordinarily compatible with personality wise, and was also moderately attractive, i’d be willing to marry this person. i keep going back and forth between referring to my potential partner as a woman and them, but i’m heterosexual.. believe it or not. hopefully i can find a fucking woman before they’re not even called that anymore. but in any case, the vision in my head is something like i’m left to my own devices for about 65% of the time, and the other 35% of the time would be spent with them. this time i would also surrender to doing actual activities, going out, whatever the fuck. i kind of see myself as a bit of a science experiment in a way in that regard. i envision myself being like shown off in a way, like ‘look at this guy, he sure is something! i also fuck him, for reasons that may not be apparent!’ because i do believe on the surface level, there isn’t much to desire in me as a person. i’m probably a lot funnier than most people, because i have an easier time finding humor in situations, or making connections others wouldnt, based on my knowledge of, i mean everything. i’m probably also a bit smarter than the average person. those two attributes alone make me unique in a sense, other than that i don’t know what you’d see in me as a person, both personality and physical attraction wise.
anyway, my friend’s response to my desire for my partner to understand me in an all encompassing way was quickly shot down, basically. he told me that no one will ever truly understand me, because humans aren’t capable of doing that, not even for themselves to an extent. this probably should’ve been obvious to me, i know. i’m not naive in many ways, but as it pertains to romantic relationships i certainly don’t have it all figured out. my attempts at such have all fallen pretty much flat, and i can’t say i’ve found that those experiences made it easier for me to find someone new, as many might allude to. they were swings and misses, wholly, and i get frustrated with myself thinking about my missteps in that regard. a lot of things u just have to experience to get it, and i will say this is probably one of them. advice about ‘‘women’‘ or ‘‘how to get pussy’‘ or whatever never sounds very good coming from anyone, especially cause whatever advice they give you probably won’t work because they aren’t you, and don’t understand you. the nuance involved in courting a partner is quite complicated in my own estimation. there isn’t really a guaranteed way to convince someone that you’re worth fucking, and to be honest, you’re probably better off misleading them in a way if thats your goal. lying isn’t necessarily what im getting at, but it seems in my experience that what women found attractive in me wasn’t actually who i was, so when we make it out the ‘‘talking phase’‘ and they see me a bit more transparently, many of them were quick to throw in the towel. i’m a bit of an obsessive person, so it’s been hard for me to let go of people from my past. all in all, i chalk it up as a learning experience and i’m pretty unfazed by my past dealings with women. it doesn’t keep me up at night, but i do sometimes wonder what, or if i had actually done wrong, or if it just wasn’t meant to be. i will also grant that sometimes u meet people at the wrong part of ur life and the maturity difference/difference in actual place in life proves too great to overcome. logic tells me pretty much every relationship ive seriously been involved with couldve been salvaged, or maybe a better way of saying it was i doubt that we were different enough to not eventually work it out, if we both tried. most ppl arent patient tho with relationships, and i get it. people often bring up just the staggering amount of humans on earth as an antidote to your dismay about unrequited love, or what have you. i think that’s a pretty stupid thing to tell people when theyre going thru it, partly because i dont think the logic actually holds any water. i think most people could be in a committed monogamous relationship if they were both mature enough, i think thats the biggest determining factor above everything else i’m still very young, so most women i encounter are not really enticed by the idea of lifelong commitment. i believe if we have enough in common and we like fucking each other more than average, what else is out there really? i think those two things together are probably extremely difficult to find in one person, especially for me.
i probably have more to say, but i can’t think of how i want to format it, even in an approximate sense. so i’ll try to sum it up with these closing thoughts. i guess i’m just saying i realized that i have to learn to live with myself. oftentimes i express my thoughts or beliefs, and i can see in real time how my words are just failing to land on people, even my own fucking parents. maybe this all just sounds like an emo wall of text, idk. people are more unique than i suppose i had considered, so to ask of someone to solve any other person would be quite the undertaking. i also realize that before i can be successful at anything, i’m going to have to change in a very profound, fundamental way. the answer isn’t clear to me, i’m unsure what lies ahead.
