so much to love about these moments
a lovely depiction of romantic obsession as usual. i like that they were so explicit about it, not just the pain it causes gurathin, but also the element of unintentional entitlement that often accompanies infatuation. and i strongly feel gurathin would never say any of that out loud. the idea of openly expressing this desire, especially in mensah's presence, would likely be horrifying and devastating to him
relatedly, the dialogue in the lead-in to where i started the gifset was incredible. his view of the rest of the team, how he deeply cares about them yet does not view them as equals (he has a rather high view of himself, all things considered). but mensah? to him, his equal. his better.
murderbot line delivery, acting, and the impression we have of its discomfort (including with its own actions/the breach of gurathin's privacy) i think are also really excellent. i really liked the murderbot emotions in this episode in general
the team's reactions are really well-acted and shot. i love their discomfort and the sense of awareness they all seem to have about the situation. most of all i love pin-lee's expressions and response. i think there is some personal discomfort there, but i also wonder if they want to protect mensah or gurathin or both. i feel like tv pin-lee is pretty emotionally intelligent and compassionate about gurathin's situation, and obviously (if you've seen my other posts) i interpret them as pining pretty intensely for mensah themselves. so that makes their behavior in this scene that much more interesting for me
poor mensah... her discomfort and imo pain are so palpable. the acting is really beautiful. i think she deeply cares for gurathin and likely knows how he feels, but the idea that it has shaped his perception of her to this degree i can imagine is very painful, almost dehumanizing (to be the limerent object of someone you platonically love). and i feel like these are feelings that we don't get to see depicted in media a lot, so i really appreciated seeing that
and then moving to the post-mbot leaving bits... my god, this little moment was incredible. she's so much at her limit emotionally/stress-wise. and it's clear ratthi's behavior really frustrates her & has been frustrating her
but imo, she has likely been feeling complicatedly about how he treats pin-lee, too. she's the leader and seems to closely observe her team and try to soothe them in meaningful ways (i think best illustrated by how she interacts with pin-lee in episode 7), and i can't imagine she hasn't noticed things like him touching pin-lee while pin-lee looks visibly uncomfortable. i think there's a part of her, maybe subconsciously, which thinks, ratthi, pin-lee isn't your pet either
but the way the line is delivered, too... she is feeling things. maybe a repressed part of her is feeling, gurathin, i am not your pet
but the way the line is delivered, two (three?)... obviously, secunit is not their pet, full stop. she feels so strongly about that. seeing them speak/treat it like it belongs to them, like it's a prop, etc, is distressing for her and pushes her to this emotional extreme. and i think that's what at the forefront of her mind, but it's possible the rest (the underlying emotions and frustrations and fears related to the interpersonal tensions she's witnessed and is involved in herself) might contribute to how strongly she feels they are wronging murderbot by regarding it like that. she is empathizing with it and likely feeling frustration she didn't intervene sooner and some kind of personal hurt (maybe including a sense of moral failure) that people are treating murderbot poorly
and speaking of, i think tv mensah has issues with boundaries (this is not to say that she totally lacks boundaries or behaves inappropriately, just that boundaries are not easy for her and she is not interpersonally perfectly healthy). we see she is somewhat people pleasing and has porous boundaries with gurathin. his actor has described it as a sort of codependent dynamic, which i think seems appropriate based on some of their early-season interactions. i think we can see the flipside of this in her interpersonal behavior with murderbot (the oversharing and seeming to need it to set explicit boundaries). i can imagine her boundary issues extends to her leadership style, especially given how some characters try to strongarm her and she often allows them to at least try. for example, pin-lee repeated shouts at her in the early episodes and mensah never explicitly expresses discomfort or sets boundaries about being treated that way (in front of the whole team, to boot!). so imo, she wasn't able to put her foot down about ratthi treated/spoke about murderbot earlier in the season, and now she feels strained/pushed to the point that she can. she needed to
their stunned reactions are so great. because they aren't completely shocked or horrified, but it's still clearly out of character for mensah. they know this matters to her, and they know she's been pushed to her limit. really incredible
and i really like knowing tv ratthi will definitely try to be/do better. his interiority in this episode was really cool to consider. i think there is a lot implied about the inside of his head
this episode makes the show's handling of gurathin and ratthi's interpersonal behavior (from a meta/writing level) work a lot better for me. i wasn't loving how it was framed, but this episode made it a lot more... i guess understandable. i found their behavior a bit triggering/activating (i have pretty bad ptsd. irl i get triggered being unexpectedly touched by men or having men raise their voices near me... it's an issue i'm working through but definitely colors how i take in live action media) so i am glad that there was some emotional payoff/meaningful interpersonal implications, and i assume there may be more
the juxtaposition of these scenes and the fact that they happen so close together i think is so fascinating and cool from a writing perspective
and i so love tv mensah. it is so great to see all these new elements going on around the character and to see her have such emotional depth. her emotional state in this episode is so complicated and well-executed

Helloo~
"Moments of Weakness" as in the reader taking L's left and right by being uncooperative with the yanderes. This idea was cooking up in my mind for a long time, and then I got heavily inspired by @thehatboxwitch for the post, specifically this one. I ate that up, such a good piece, mwah (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
The Amphoreus men and Jiaoqiu? Yes, I know, odd combo. I was done with the first three but then I got an insane inspo surge to write for the fox man as well, and thus this piece was born. I haven't really written short-form content ever, so this is like a test run for me. Let me know if you vibe with it!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Characters include: Mydei, Anaxa, Phainon and Jiaoqiu
CONTENT WARNINGS INCLUDE: Yandere content (ALTHOUGH this is not on the heavy end of the spectrum. It's kind of fluffy), cisfem!Reader, unwanted touching, manipulation, the JQ one has periods and a vague mention of sexual stuff (but nothing explicit).
Disclaimers can be found in my pinned post.

˗ˏˋ ★ Mydei
You wake up on the cold, hard floor of your room in the high tower of Castrum Kremnos. Judging from the limited view you have of the sky through the window, the time must be somewhere between midnight and the early hours of the morning. 
You’ve barely been able to get any sleep at all, truth to be told. The piece of clothing you gathered into a ball hardly served as a substitute for a pillow, and your neck has gone painfully stiff from the odd position you have rested in. Your back aches, and a faint rash has formed on one of your shoulders where it has been pressed against the coarse ground. 
You prop yourself up on your elbows. In the darkness, you’re only able to make out the silhouette of the man lying on the bed. Mydei’s back is turned to you, and his body steadily heaves up and down in the rhythm of his breathing. He seems to be fast asleep. 
The soft, plump mattress has never looked as tempting as it does now. Your shared comforter is partially hanging off the side of the bed, drooping just out of your reach. 
In hindsight, the obstinacy you demonstrated earlier tonight by demanding to sleep on the floor was beyond ridiculous. Mydei let you know that then, telling you how childish you were being, but your pride got the best of you. Though, as you recall his harsh words and the dour clicks of his tongue, you’re still of the opinion that your reaction was at least somewhat justified. 
You rub your hands up and down your arms in an attempt to warm yourself up. Not having been granted the luxury of a blanket on the floor, your extremities have gone cold and numb. Shivers of nightly fatigue rake your skin. You huff to yourself.
Mydei’s form stirs. He lets out a rough exhale before turning over on the bed to face you. His piercing gaze fixates on your pitiful form. 
”Stubborn woman”, he derides you in a groggy voice, propping his head up to rest it against his palm. ”You prefer to suffer rather than swallow your pride?”
”Shut up”, you answer with equal spite. 
”Get in the bed and rest your night peacefully”, he then commands, sweeping his fingers over the empty spot next to him. 
”I said shut up, Mydei.” 
You fluff up your make-shift pillow and settle back down on the ground, turning your back to the man. Despite the way the reddened patch on your shoulder aches, you simply tug your sleeve over it and call it a day. 
Mydei scoffs at you before rolling back over. You silently celebrate the small win, but you can’t deny the way your fatigue-struck mind weeps when you peek at him and come to find that he has pulled the comforter further away from you. The action is deliberate on his end, no doubt, and you can’t help but clench your teeth in bitterness. 
You’re so tired. You’re so fucking tired, but there’s no way you’re going to let him have what he wants. Mydei truly excels at bringing out your mean side: Pleasing him is the last thing you want to do, and if that comes at the cost of sleeping on the ground, so be it. You settle your head on the clump of cloth and close your eyes. 
But there’s no chance you’re going to get any sleep as you are. The truth is quite apparent, and it stings, but the sheer exhaustion you feel is dulling out the little wrath that remains in your being. 
Not even a minute after, you slowly push yourself off the floor, careful not to make any sound. Not that you actually succeed in the latter — Mydei could probably even hear your heartbeat from where he’s lying if he tried hard enough — but it’s more for your own sake than his, anyway. 
Judging from how he has gone back to resting, he’s probably weary enough not to get mean. You cautiously rise on your toes to peek over him, trying to catch a glimpse of his face, but you’re unable to determine if his eyes are open or not. 
The mattress dips as you set your weight on it. You stifle a sigh of relief as you finally get to bury your head in the thick cushions, to pull the covers over your freezing form and soon allow yourself to drift into a deep slumber. Though, a wrench is thrown in your plans as you’re only able to get the comforter halfway across your body: The thing is stuck under Mydei’s broad back. 
He doesn’t move an inch as you wordlessly tug on the blanket. It’s quite obvious that he’s being difficult on purpose, that he wants to make his point as much as you want to make yours, and damn is it getting to you. 
”Mydei”, you hiss out his name. 
He doesn’t react. If you didn’t know better, you would think that he has fallen asleep again, but taking the context into account, you’re a hair’s breadth away from snapping at him. 
”Mydei!” you repeat a little louder, smacking your hand against the pillows, right next to his head. No response. 
”Mydei, for fuck’s sake-!”
Your sentence is cut short as the man suddenly lunges at you, catching you completely off guard. The strained yelp you let out is muffled by his bare chest as he pulls your body flush against his. In a split second, his arms wrap around your back, effectively trapping you in place. 
His skin is searing hot against yours. The hem of your shirt is dragged up as he plants the palm of his hand on your upper back. For good measure, he swings one of his legs over yours to keep you still. All of it happens in a single moment, and he doesn’t grant you the time to do anything about it. 
You consider protesting. There’s no escaping Mydei’s squeeze; his hold is much too tight, but he might give up the fight if you put up enough resistance. You could scratch at him, you could start screeching at the bottom of your lungs, and eventually, he would be bound to become irritated enough to let you sleep on your own. 
But the warmth. The heat that emanates from his form is nearly blissful. It seeps into your frigid limbs, lulling your sleep-deprived mind into the comfort that is his protective embrace. Your body turns against you. 
You allow your shoulders to fall lax. Slowly, your hands pull back from where they were shoving against Mydei’s ribs mere moments ago. In response to your new-found obedience, he strokes his thumb along the curve of your shoulder blade, further encouraging you to relax against him. He lets out a content exhale against the crown of your head. 
In the back of your mind, your ego is sobbing at the loss of yet another battle against your captor. Nevertheless, you let yourself sink into the comfort of the bed, deciding to save the fight for when the morning arrives. 
˗ˏˋ ★ Phainon
There’s something off about his usual smile today. The way he’s looking at you from where he leans against the wall with his arms leisurely crossed, there’s something off. His gaze is fixed directly on you, keenly following your every movement as if he’s expecting something of you. 
”... What?” you ask him, peering at his form, though your words come out as more of a comment than a question. 
”Hm?” he tilts his head to the side with a tad bit too much excitement in his expression. ”What’s up?”
Your brows knit together. Doubting his sincerity, you’re almost scared to turn your back to him as you scan the room with your eyes. Although, after a quick look, nothing too obvious seems to have changed: You let your gaze wander over the couch, the bed, the door, the-
”Phainon, what happened to the chairs?” you point at the vacant spot under the table. 
”Ah, those!” Phainon pushes himself off the wall and walks over to the bed, sitting down with one leg propped atop the other. ”I put them in the kitchen.”
You squint your eyes at the man. 
”And why would you do that?” you gesture at the now empty floor. 
”Mm, no reason.”
Phainon shrugs in a rather innocent manner, but the smile on his features tells an entirely different story. So, you continue scrutinizing your surroundings, carefully looking over each and every piece of furniture until your eyes land on the nightstand beside the bed. 
”The book?” you turn your attention back to the man. ”Where did you put the book?”
”Oh, I put it up there”, Phainon responds, nudging his head towards the bookshelf beside the door. 
You follow his gaze all the way up the highest ledge on the shelf, and there, you spot the familiar piece of Okheman literature you’ve been invested in for the past couple of days. As you put the puzzle pieces together, Phainon’s scheme becomes quite apparent to you. 
”... Really?” you ask him, spreading your arms in disbelief. 
”Hey, don’t be like that”, Phainon gives you a sympathetic look. ”Do you need help reaching it?”
You let your hands fall back to your sides. Then, you close your eyes and take in a deep breath to calm the exasperation that threatens to boil over inside you. Instead of lashing out, you silently make your way over to the shelf and pick out a random piece. 
”I’m good, thanks”, you tell Phainon in a dry tone. 
”Oh, alright”, he gives you a smile in response. ”Let me know if you change your mind.”
You roll your eyes at him. Making your way over to the couch, you plop down on the cushions and open the book on the first page. 
It’s in a completely foreign language. You don’t understand a single word plastered on the paper, but it’s much too late to put the thing back on the shelf now. Even without looking, you know that Phainon’s attention is on you, and you don’t dare to even glance at him to make sure in case he gets any ideas. You wonder what Aeon you have angered to have been granted such rotten luck when it comes to standing your ground: It seems that no matter what you do, he always gets his way. 
You don’t even know if you’re holding the book the right way up. The symbols are all squiggly, and you don’t have as much as an educated guess on what the text is about. A sigh makes it past your lips. If there’s anything positive to be found in the situation, though, it’s that most likely, Phainon is none the wiser about it. Why he even has a book like this in his home, you don’t have the slightest clue. Moreover, he doesn’t seem like the type to read in his free time, either, so the chances of him recognizing the cover are quite low — at least you hope so. 
You make the mistake of peeking at him. Sure enough, the couple of bright blue eyes are eagerly observing you from where the guy is sitting on the sheets. His gaze doesn’t fail to meet yours for a brief moment just as you turn your head away. 
Time has never moved at such a slow speed. The seconds drag on and on as you pretend to be invested in the intelligible story in your hands. You let your eyes travel over the rows of characters as if you were actually reading, but you can’t help the way your attention strays to the sight of your original novel sitting at the top shelf, far out of your reach. With each moment passing, the little patience you have left drains out of your body until you have none left. 
You smack the book down on the couch with a huff. Phainon visibly perks up, and you can almost imagine a fluffy tail wagging wildly against his back. 
”I changed my mind”, you speak out, standing up from your spot and walking over to the shelf. ”Help me get the book.”
”Sure thing”, Phainon is quick to rush to your side. ”I thought Kremnoan poems might not be to your taste, heh.”
You bite the inside of your lip and pray to whatever deity is watching over you that the blush isn’t visible on your cheeks.
”This one, right?” Phainon rises on his toes to pick the familiar hardcover from the top ledge before handing it to you. ”There you go. What do we say?” 
”I’m not gonna thank you for that”, you snap at him, snatching the thing off his hand and pulling it to your chest.
”Too much?” Phainon answers the show of defiance with a smile. ”Heh, you’re so cute.”
You flinch a little as his hand lands on the top of your head, ruffling your hair until it resembles a bird’s nest. His touch then trails lower to your cheek where he strokes his knuckles along the bone. 
”My pretty thing”, he sighs with contentment. 
˗ˏˋ ★ Anaxa
Never in your life have you had to fight this hard to stay awake. Not once, at any point, have you been this determined not to let your lashes fall shut as you listen to Anaxa yap on and on about some academic discovery he made a year or two ago. Truth to be told, you haven’t been listening to a single word, and you don’t have the faintest idea on what he’s going on about. 
Your train of thought is so sluggish that you’re barely aware of your surroundings, and your head is throbbing hot. In contrast, the rest of your body is shivering, practically trembling from the cold. It doesn’t seem to be the room, though: Anaxa doesn’t appear to be the least bit bothered by the temperature, having stripped himself of the cloak he usually wears. You would like nothing more than to burrow under the blankets on your shared bed and sleep for the next three days. 
But you have to stay awake. He promised that if you were to stay up until 10, the two of you could go for a quick walk in the Grove. He hasn’t ”had time” to take you outside in nearly a week now, and you’re not about to miss a chance like this. Being trapped in a small space and forced to endure the man’s presence is a challenge in a league of its own, and if you were a person of any weaker resolve, you would’ve gone insane ages ago. 
”— and that would be the reason why”, he concludes.
The last two minutes of his monologue could as well have been spoken to a wall. It’s difficult to concentrate on his words through the haze that drowns out your senses. Your muscles ache terribly, and your entire body is drenched in clammy sweat. You feel so miserable that the thought of giving up the fight seems almost euphoric, but you’re not about to back down now that you’re mere moments away from the clock striking the next hour. The victory is so close that you can almost feel the fresh, crisp outside air on your skin. It’s only a few more minutes away; a few more minutes of holding out against falling off your chair. 
Anaxa’s hand enters your field of view where you’ve been blankly staring at the table for the past half an hour. He taps his index finger against the wood to catch your attention, and it takes you a good few seconds to even register the action. You raise your gaze, slowly blinking a couple of times before your eyes land on his form.
”Can we go now...?” you ask him. As desperately as you’re trying to hide it, your voice tells on your fatigue as you speak. 
”We agreed on 10 PM, did we not?” Anaxa tilts his head to the side, towards the clock on the wall. 
You don’t have the energy to talk back to him. He’s so infuriatingly punctual when it comes to just about anything that you wonder how the pink-haired priestess is able to stand his company for more than a minute. You only give him a half-hearted, joyless smile in response before going back to staring. He sighs. 
Anaxa’s chair creaks as he stands up and walks out of your sight. You pull your knees up on your seat, pressing yourself into a little ball in order to preserve the little warmth you have left in your body. You don’t dare to close your eyes even for a moment in case the fatigue were to catch up with you. Instead, you remain in your spot, as still as a statue and barely conscious.
A cold hand comes to touch your shoulder from behind. You’re much too slow to turn around before your vision is obscured as he reaches for your face. Gently, he gathers your hair off your forehead and presses his fingers against your heated skin. 
”How long were you planning on keeping this facade of yours up?” he then asks, his hand moving a little lower in favour of checking both sides of your cheeks as well. 
You don’t respond to him. Instead, you only let out a quiet sigh.
It’s obvious; you’re running a sky-high fever. There’s no way of getting around it — the best remedy to a sickness such as this is rest — however, your desire to go outside is much greater than any flu you have caught. 
”I’m feeling okay”, you lie through your teeth, bending forward in order to rid yourself of his touch. 
”Preposterous”, Anaxa comments in his usual, stark tone of voice. Not paying mind to how you’re clearly trying to withdraw from him, he moves the collar of your shirt aside in favour of pressing his hand against the back of your neck, feeling for the temperature. ”One such as you ought to know better than this, no?”
”I can wait until 10”, you insist. 
”Is that so?” 
He pulls away from you. You follow him with your eyes, watching as he makes his way to the door in quick strides. 
”Well, then”, he beckons you towards him with his fingers. ”Let’s be on our way.”
You grasp the back of your chair with both hands, summoning up the strength to see the endeavour through. Your entire body trembles as you begin pushing yourself off the seat. 
Anaxa observes with curious eyes as you manage to balance yourself on your wobbly legs. For a moment, he can see the way your face lights up at the success, but your joy is short-lived: He merely quirks his brow when one of your knees gives out, and you topple down on the floor a mere meter away from the table. 
He lets out a mix of a huff and a laugh. You’re quick to scramble back up, trying your absolute best to find your footing, but the sight of him is spinning, and your limbs have gone numb. It doesn’t take more than a few seconds for you to slump back down on the ground, defeated. 
You don’t do as much as raise your head when you hear the clack of his heels approaching you. Instead, you only listen to your own, rapid heartbeat rushing in your ears as Anaxa crouches down beside you and sets his hand on your waist. Carefully, he helps your limp form off the ground and snakes his arm under your own.
”The walk shall have to wait, it seems”, he says, failing to do a very good job at concealing his glee. 
”But you-, you promised that we could...”, you protest, wearily turning your head towards the clock on the wall. It’s a minute past 10. 
”Do you truly think you’re in any state to even entertain that idea?” Anaxa scoffs at your words. ”Go on, then.”
He loosens his hold on you, and you immediately reel to the side. Just to make his point even more clear, he lets you attempt to find your balance, but it’s a futile effort. You end up clinging onto his shoulder for dear life. A mocking chuckle slips out of his mouth. 
”I thought as much”, he says. 
You really want to bite back, to go through with the plan, to go walk a single circle around the house even if it lands you in the bed for the next month. You need to, for once, prove him wrong, but alas, it seems that he has won this round. You swallow down the lump in your throat. 
”Help me”, you whisper out, hanging your head low. 
”This once”, he responds.
˗ˏˋ ★ Jiaoqiu
You’re balled up on the bathroom floor, clutching your arms around your stomach. Beads of sweat adorn your forehead, and despite your efforts, you’re hardly able to control the rhythm of your breathing. The time of the month has rolled around yet again, and for the past two hours, you’ve been battling perhaps the worst period cramps of your entire life. 
You’re aware that if you so wished, the relief to the pain would be a single question away. Jiaoqiu is just on the other side of the door, working on some herbs or something, you’re not really sure. Considering his Foxian blood, he most likely knows of what’s going on, but the damned man won’t do anything about it, of course. Not unless you walk up to him yourself and ask for his help, anyway. 
Another cramp takes over. You stifle a groan and lean forward, planting your forehead against the cold floor tiles. In the awkward position, you rock your body back and forth until the pain diminishes to a little less excruciating level. 
It’s quite obvious that you can’t go on much longer like this. As much as you detest the idea of leaning on your captor for help, he’s the only one who can aid you. You wonder if he has hidden the painkillers from you for this exact purpose: The man is as sly as, well, a fox, and no trick is too cheap for him when it comes to getting you where he wants you. He’s beyond unfair. 
You blurt out a hushed curse word as you rise from the ground, hunched over and still holding your abdomen. Taking a peek at the mirror, you come to find that your face has lost its colour, and you look like you haven’t rested in a week. The latter is no wonder, though, since you weren’t able to get much sleep last night due to the present problem. 
Being as quiet as you’re able, you press your ear against the door. There isn’t much to be heard on the other side of the wall, but you can make out the faint clinking of dishes touching against each other. Jiaoqiu has been busy conducting the same task the entire morning, and it seems that he’s still occupied with it. Dread brews in your stomach as you consider the possibility that he’ll outright refuse to help you: Considering his personality, it’s not above him, and it wouldn’t be the first time he weaponized matters out of your control.
”Aren’t you making this unnecessarily difficult for yourself?” 
Your heart jumps at the sound of his voice from behind the door. How he could have heard you, you don’t know, but then again, his kin is known for their keen ears. Moreover, you realize that there’s no hiding your current condition from him: Your options are either-or, and the responsibility of taking the initiative seems to have landed in your arms. 
Yet another cramp strains your body. You clench your teeth and endure the pain, but at the same time, your hand reaches up for the door handle. Deciding that enough is enough, you push yourself out of the bathroom. 
”Oh, there you are”, Jiaoqiu comments at the sight of you faltering out of your retreat. He can’t actually see you, of course, but his head still turns towards you as if he did. 
”Give me something”, you beg through pursed lips as you fold in half over the threshold. ”Please give me something for this.”
Jiaoqiu’s expression turns into that of compassion, although you can’t say for sure if it’s genuine. 
”One moment, please”, he says, setting the mortar and pestle in his hands on the tabletop.
He opens one of the cabinets above the counter and reaches for something in the back. Carefully, he pulls out a small bowl from between a row of bottles. By tilting the dish from side to side, he stirs the concoction until a few darker specks appear on the liquid’s surface. Then, he brings his hand over it, and in a flash, the thing lights up in flames. However, just as quickly, the fire disappears, and he’s left with a cup of steaming hot soup. 
”I tried to go easy on the spice”, he says as he fans his fingers over the bowl. ”It’s quite warm, be careful not to burn your tongue.”
He makes his way over to where you’re balled up on the ground. With a gentle touch, he coaxes you to raise your head enough for him to place the dish against your lips before tilting the cup. 
It’s good. The rich liquid flows down your throat as you drink it with greed, paying very little mind to how the heat scorches your mouth. He didn’t lie about being mindful of the seasoning — it’s much less spicy than what you’re usually forced to endure — but your taste buds are still left begging for mercy. Nonetheless, you couldn’t care less, and the soup is gone in a matter of seconds. 
”It should only take a few minutes to kick in”, Jiaoqiu says as he pulls the now empty bowl away from your lips. ”How are you feeling?” 
Bad, terrible, deplorable, godawful, but you don’t tell him that. Instead, you only let out a shaky exhale as you slump back down on the ground. 
You feel Jiaoqiu’s fingers creep along the waistline of your bottoms. For a brief, horrific moment, you think he’s about to initiate the carnal, but instead of slipping his hand further down, he lets it rest over your lower abdomen. 
”Is it in the middle or more towards one side?” he asks as he tenderly presses his palm against your stomach, warm and pleasant. 
”Hey, don’t-, don’t...”, you’re about to start protesting, but the complaint dies on your tongue as the man’s touch dulls down the worst of the ache. 
He seems pleased at your compliance, and he rewards you by caressing the back of your head with his free hand. For once, his closeness doesn’t feel completely intolerable.

This post is my attempt to track what’s going on with US politics. This post is constantly being updated so if you see this on your dash, check my blog (this post will be pinned) to see the latest version. If there’s anything I miss that you think should be included on this list, please let me know.
January-May 2025
June 2025

CORRUPDATE: Trump has created a mobile phone company [x]
Alright I know that we’re all tired. We’re 5 months into this now and it can be really tempting to just check out. To be honest, I did that a lot in May. And what I realized from doing that is, yeah, checking out felt nice, but the bad things still kept happening.
Remember, Trump and his cronies want us to stop paying attention. Because if we’re not paying attention, then we’re not fighting back and they can keep getting away with destroying our country and enriching themselves in the process.
You don’t need to spend every waking second of your day thinking about the news. But what I do ask is that, if you see a story from a credible news source about the corruption or more cuts to programs or problems that are starting to reverberate out from previous actions, please share it. Don’t just look at it and move on. Share it.
Fighting back only works if we all do it together. Remember that our communities are our strength.

I'm known for tgirl tummy tuesdays, shower coffee, weirdass rambling shitposts, my tortoise, bisexual meltdowns, being an angry tranny, providing some biologists rambles about HRT and other things, making my ADHD everyone else's problem, and talking about hiking/backpacking more than I actually do it. This blog is my main one, and is an unfiltered stream of information.
If you want to DM me, tag me, drop an ask, for whatever reason, feel free to! This includes any and all tummyposting. Do be aware, however, that I try to keep this blog SFW, and will use my discretion on what to reblog or answer. On the flip side of that, however, I often get close to the limits of SFW here, so if you're uncomfortable with that or a minor, you have been warned.

Uncut 18+ on iQIYI or cut on Youtube
With smaller screentime there are wlw side couples in shows: Bad Buddy, I Feel You Linger In The Air (this one has period typical homophobia and assault though, so careful).
Bigger list of asian GL shows: link [tumblr post].
Transfeminine representation in asian QLs:
Tumblr media
1. 23.5
Secondary couple are a pair of teachers, both of them trans women played by trans women. For now this is the only show that has a sapphic trans plotline, even though small.
YouTube
Tumblr media
2. 3 Will Be Free polyamorous trio; on the run; mafia
After an unexpected event that involves sex work and mafia gangs, three individuals find themselves on-the-run together as they attempt to escape death. Important secondary character is a trans woman played by a trans female actress. Has a trans storyline in the show (the girl gets male romantic partners). Trigger warning for transphobia. YouTube
Tumblr media
3. Secret Crush On You “nerd”/popular guy; queer friend group; university setting
A nerdy young man Toh fell in love with a popular third-year senior. Because his dream is so far from reach, observing is the only thing he could do. Toh has a queer friend group, one of them is a transfeminine/3rd gender/kathoey character Daisy. Can be a bit jarring for a western person at first, but her story is very lovely if you give this girl a chance (also gets male romantic partner).
YouTube
Noticeable small appearances of trans female characters: The Sign (the actress Yoshi was the 2019 winner of Thailand's biggest trans beauty pageant, YouTube), Not Me (YouTube), You're My Sky (Viki), KinnPorsche (iQIYI).
Sadly we aren't at a point where Thailand makes shows with trans people as leads yet, even though I so badly wish it was already a thing. But trans women and kathoey generally have supporting roles in BL and GL shows very often, so you can see them a lot in stuff! It's the transmascs who never ever appear here!
Queer shows directed by trans women and transfem people:
Tumblr media
Anucha Boonyawatana is a trans woman and the director of Not Me, mlm show about anarchist freedom fighters (YouTube).
Tumblr media
Golf Tanwarin is a nonbinary director and the first openly transgender person to have been elected as a member of parliament in Thailand. They were the one who submitted the thai marriage equality bill to parliament, which since then has been approved in 2024 and came in legal force 2 weeks ago. Their directing works: Love Bully (wlw, listed above), The Eclipse (mlm show about repressed boys in a corrupted school system, YouTube), Wandee Goodday (mlm boxer/doctor romcom, Viki).
Just in case, adding shows where I personally enjoyed headcanoning characters as transgirls or enby transfems sometimes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Meet You At The Blossom
Romantic interest is wearing female clothes and makeup for disguise in the first episodes, and despite not passing well no one questions that this is a woman. The character is happily called "wife" by the lead character until the end of the show.
YouTube & GagaOOLala & Viki & iQIYI
2. The Sign
Main character used to be a female snake princess in his past reincarnation. Sometimes played by a female actress, sometimes by a male actor, but always referred to as a princess and wearing period thai female clothes. It's also possible to headcanon the character as a transmasc here though, it's really neat.
YouTube
Many of all these shows are free on YouTube, in other cases I recommend paying for subscriptions to show appreciation and support of content in order to get more of it in the future, but if you can't or don't want to, you can watch online on KissKH or get files from MkvDrama!
Blogs you can follow to get updates and posts specifically about asian GLs: @girlsloveupdates @glgifs

PAC : Your Year 2025- Advice and Predictions.
(Please Read My Pinned post *IMPORTANT NOTE* before selecting a Pile.
❤️ All dividers on this blog are provided by @uzmacchiato ❤️
Masterlist | Paid Services
Tumblr media
Please Note: It's just a general reading so please take the finances part of the reading with a grain of salt just like other parts of this reading. Take your decisions wisely, I, @tarotofhope and @tarotforpeace will not be responsible if you make decisions based on my readings. I have not included health(though I wanted to first) in here because I'm afraid if I mention any serious things like surgery and illness, you guys might take that seriously and also because it's a general reading, I don't want that to happen. Deck Used- Osho Zen Tarot
Tumblr media
Pick an Image by meditating and selecting the image you feel called to. You can be attracted towards more than 1 image. If you are not able to select maybe this reading isn't for you.
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ Pile - 1 ⪩⪨
LOVE -
Cards: The Miser(4 of Pentacles)
You'd like to keep a good distance from love this year. Either you recently came out of a relationship(most probably last year), or you've always remained single(by choice or not). There is a sense of fear with the 4 of Pentacles here, that the person may turn out toxic, and if this happens, you might lose your precious peace of mind and soul, somehow they might become an hindrance, so you try to stay away from love as much as possible. For people who are single by choice, especially, you guys really enjoy being single. For people who are already in a relationship, you guys are staying private and reserved as much as possible.
CAREER -
Cards: Past Lives(The Moon)
You guys are being advised to not let your past hold you back, if there were any negative experiences in your last job, it's not going to repeat itself. You're also being told to make good use of your talents(with past lives, It makes me think of Ketu which is the South Node, which talks about talents and gifts you inherited from your past lives). You don't need to hide yourself anymore. Get out there and show what you're capable of.
FAMILY -
Cards: Morality(Queen of Swords) clarified by Suppression(10 of Wands).
Your family might have burdened you with a lot of responsibility and stress, like somehow your family is the reason for your low self-esteem, lack of confidence, bad mental health, any or all of these. Somebody's pushing you to go over your limits. Someone has too high expectations from you. But this year, you'll find the courage to stay back and fight for yourself. If you don't like to do something, you'll say so. Just because someone is family, you'll not allow them to take advantage of you anymore.
FRIENDSHIP -
Cards: Trust(Knight of Cups)
You'll be placing your focus on trust this year, in friendships. Unless you find someone you can really trust, you're not going to make new friends, which also means that you're also going to analyse your current and old friends' behavioural patterns. You might want to leave some old mean/toxic friends behind because of this. Though I cannot say whether your friends are actually toxic or not, it might just be your perception of them as per your circumstances. Trust has become your main criteria for accepting people and their friendships. You're available but not open, not to everyone.
FINANCES -
Cards: Friendliness(2 of Cups)
Those of you who are into partnerships or teamwork, this year is going to be good for money. You're being advised to make more connections at workplace and in general too, it will be good for your work. Surround yourself with like-minded people but also be careful of two-faced people and backbiters.
FOCUS -
Cards: Playfulness(Page of Wands)
You're being advised to loosen up a bit and do things that make you happy. Don't let life take you by the neck and drag you into a pit of darkness. You need to enjoy a bit and don't let your surroundings have a negative effect on your mind. Focus your mind on happiness and getting out of things that drain your mind.
That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 1.
Love, light, peace and hope to you .🌼🌺🌸🪻
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ Pile - 2 ⪩⪨
LOVE -
Cards: Turning In(4 of Cups).
You guys might also be attracted to Pile 1, so if you want, you can check that pile too. You guys have the similar urge like Pile 1, to remain single or atleast not get involved in love this year. With the 4 of Cups, I'm seeing that this decision of yours is by choice, half of this group have had negative experiences in love earlier while the other half of you are enjoying being single currently. You're trying to find out about yourself more and your rich inner self. You're more involved in self-care activities currently.
CAREER -
Cards: Integration(Temperance)
You guys are being advised to have balance in your work life. Either you're taking free time too much or working too much. With integration here, you're also advised to be more co-operative and involve yourselves in teamwork, this year.
FAMILY -
Cards: Totality(5 of Wands)
You might be in an argument with some of your family members or maybe even, not in good terms with someone in your family. There may be disagreements and conflicts so you're being advised to take your decisions wisely, not in rush or rage.
FRIENDSHIP -
Cards: Ripeness(9 of Pentacles)
Your friendships will be good this year, it's almost like you've worked so hard in the past years on being a good friend, being trustworthy and loyal in friendships, so you'll be on good terms with your friends. You can rely on your friends and they can rely on you.
FINANCES -
Cards: Transformation(Death)
Your finances might take a turn this year, either you'll start earning money from a totally different source if you're already working(so it can mean change of jobs, change of location). For some of you, it can be that you've resigned or retired, so there is a change in the flow of money. This might look like a necessary change which cannot be avoided, I'm saying this because of the intensity of this card.
FOCUS -
Cards: Change(Wheel of Fortune)
You're being advised to focus your mind on whatever change this is, don't restrain yourself from it, don't try to push it back, it might look like a divine intervention, but if you're meant to do it anyway, you'll also be helped by your guides to get through it.
That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 2.
Love, light, peace and hope to you .🌼🌺🌸🪻
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ Pile - 3 ⪩⪨
LOVE -
Cards: Slowing Down(Knight of Pentacles) clarified by Clinging to the past(5 of Cups).
You're going slow in love, you're calculating, analysing, measuring every aspect of what a love relationship can offer, what you like and dislike, not wanting to repeat past mistakes again. Some of you are in a dating phase and meeting new people, while others of you are stuck with thoughts of your ex or toxic relationships. So some of you are not giving chances to new people. You're being advised to look forward in life, move on and think of the good things you possess.
CAREER -
Cards: Sorrow(9 of Swords) and Politics(7 of Swords)
You look tired of your job, you might not be happy with your workplace, colleagues or seniors. There might be discrimination, low compensation, overtime work with no proper pay. The overall energy of your work environment is draining you, it seems. You're being advised to leave if you can, and if not, you can lessen your stress by extra-curricular activities.
FAMILY -
Cards: Innocence(The Sun)
The Sun card here, gives a positive energy. Your relationship with your family is going to be very good, you might even go out on family trips this year. There is an environment of enjoyment and playfulness. People are supportive and understanding. They are going to be like a stress-reliever.
FRIENDSHIP -
Cards: Suppression(10 of Wands)
You're either feeling like you're the one who's taking all the efforts in your friendships or you're being burdened with too many expectations from your friend/s. You're being advised to communicate and solve the problem and if they're doing this even after communicating about it n number of times, you need to take your leave.
FINANCES -
Cards: Projections(7 of Cups) clarified by Intensity(Knight of Wands).
You're being advised not to take rash decisions when it comes to spending money. You're also being too indecisive about different things on which you want to spend your money, so you're putting your money impulsively into too many things, things you might further realise you do not need. So spend wisely.
FOCUS -
Cards: Trust(Knight of Cups)
You're being advised to focus on building trust within friendships and relationships. Also, If you're being offered a romantic proposal, do think about it. You need to focus on your relationships this year, on how to make them better. You're advised to be more open and accepting in terms of love.
That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 3.
Love, light, peace and hope to you .🌼🌺🌸🪻
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ Pile - 4 ⪩⪨
LOVE -
Cards: Postponement(4 of Swords).
Actually, it's funny how so many of the piles here got 4s for love(except the 4 of Wands), I think everybody just wants peace in life or be accepted just as they are, no drama of adjusting with new people. Coming to your reading, you want to be out of the picture of love this year, you don't want unnecessary new drama in your life. People are too full of expectations and that's exhausting. Maybe currently you're trying to make things easier in your own life. You're tired of people, I think, so you want to be left on your own. Maybe you're also waiting for the right person to come in, so you're just focusing on yourself this year. Those who are already in a relationship or married are taking a back seat, not being on social media too much, minding your own businesses separately.
CAREER -
Cards: Aloneness(Hermit) clarified by Playfulness(Page of Wands).
You might either be into a monopoly business/work or you work alone/self employed. I can see that you're also happy with whatever it is that you do, you enjoy your work. You're happy to manage everything on your own.
FAMILY -
Cards: The Burden(6 of Swords) clarified by Trust(Knight of Cups).
Your family thinks you're like a burden to them or they're like a burden to you or both(it can be due to physical health, mental health, control issues, strict-behaviour etc..). Your family and/or you guys might feel like cutting ties with each other but you guys might still be staying together or are in a toxic connection with each other. There's a lack of trust, acceptance and love here. I know this part of the reading is sad, but if you're going through it, I wish you all the luck. These issues are not the ones to suddenly generate, if they're present, that means they were already there since a long time.
FRIENDSHIP -
Cards: Transformation(Death).
You might have recently ended a friendship and in the process of finding new friends. You don't need to extend relationships unnecessarily which are not going to stay. If you're almost on the verge of ending a friendship(which has turned bitter), then please do it without doubting yourselves any further. It would be good for all the people involved in this connection.
FINANCES -
Cards: Courage(Strength)
You might have earned money with a lot of efforts and courage, so you're proud of it and you're using it decisively. I'm not saying that other people do not put efforts, It's just that people of this pile might have faced extreme difficulties in regards to their career and have worked tooth and nail for getting a certain job, their job might have asked a lot of them and they gave it. Like just for example: A woman who is not allowed to work but wants to make her own career, starts working after too many fights and arguments with family, maybe even leaving them.
FOCUS -
Cards: Politics(7 of Swords) clarified by The Master.
People of this pile are very intuitive and aware, so you will know when somebody is attacking you or stealing from you or taking advantage of you, you just need to stay that way.
That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 4.
Love, light, peace and hope to you .🌼🌺🌸🪻
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ Pile - 5 ⪩⪨
LOVE -
Cards: Ordinariness(8 of Pentacles) clarified by Sorrow(9 of Swords).
You're just a simple person who needs very simple things in life. So, same goes with your love life too, you just want things to work out and you're not afraid to put the required efforts in your relationships. You've been tired of people wanting too much from you, in love. Maybe you're also simple with your looks, makeup and fashion but people always want you to wear a certain way, look a certain way, so you've gotten uncomfortable and tired of this. You might be working on yourself currently but not to entertain people, just for yourself or you're just focused on your career this year.
CAREER -
Cards: Understanding(Page of Cups) and Creativity(The Empress).
Just as I've mentioned above, you might be focused on yourself or your career. Your career might be of creative nature and you feel like you've found your people and place. Doing what you like best, putting your all in it. People really admire your work and passion. You really feel understood and appreciated for your work and you're happy with it. You might even come up with more creative ideas for your work.
FAMILY -
Cards: The Master.
The Master card suggests that you're very aware of yourself. You know how to be the master of your own life, how to tackle things on your own. Maybe you've always felt lonely, misunderstood and unappreciated by your family. You might have realised that you're enough on your own. This year, you might think that you don't need anybody. It might be that you understand and support your family but they take you for granted. You're also not afraid to call other people 'family', people who feel more familiar and are more understanding than your own family.
FRIENDSHIP -
Cards: Mind(Page of Swords).
You'll be very defensive when it comes to friends too. You don't want people who make you go crazy in the head, who make relationships complicated. You think you'll be better off alone. You'll only make new friends when you find someone really reliable and trustworthy. You feel like you've had enough of people calling themselves 'friends'(iykyk).
FINANCES -
Cards: Flowering(Queen of Pentacles).
Your finances will be good this year. You'll have money for all of your requirements and with your mind completely focused on career and money, you'll be able to handle your finances properly too.
FOCUS -
Cards: Clinging to the Past(5 of Cups)
You're being advised to count your blessings and leave the spilled milk behind. There's no use of crying over previous relationships or friendships. They came as a lesson, learn from them and move on. Everything will not stay forever. Some of you also feel guilty for something, try to make peace with it by doing the right thing always and helping people and animals. For a few of you, if you're grieving the passing away of a loved one who's passed away long time ago, you're advised to make peace with it and stop hurting yourself. Live life righteously for them.
That's all I got for you, my dear Pile 5.
Love, light, peace and hope to you .🌼🌺🌸🪻

DPxDC Masterpost
Almost all of my DPDC posts have the #Danny Fenton is Not the Ghost King tags, barring perhaps my earliest aus like my Thomas Wayne Au (which will be included in the post). This tag includes art i've made, asks i've answered, and non-fic au posts I've created. This is my main tag!
DPxDC posts under the main tag that don't have their own tag: Danny's Life-Changing Cross-Dimensional Roadtrip with A De-Aged Batman Danny is also Bruce Wayne (Starry goes back to their middle school roots) Danny being the first batkid (if i can get the creative juices flowing I will expand on this. mark my words) There is a Damian clone LOOSE in Amity Park. Oh wait, Danny's got him.
My Biggest DPxDC Aus #Danny Fenton is a Clone: all my posts talking about clone!Danny.
Clone Danny Masterpost: previously my pinned post. A no-powers au where Danny is also a clone of Bruce Wayne, also includes some clone^2
#Clone^2: Clone Damian + Clone Danny au combined, explores themes like identity, found family, and growing into your own as a person. Starting post Here.
#Childhood Friends Au or #Cfau: A childhood friends dead on main au that explores grief, how it may change a person, and how growing up in Crime Alley changed Danny. Contains heavier themes like smoking and mild violence.
#Danyal Al Ghul Au: No longer just my "older brother danyal" au, instead it hosts all of my Danyal Al Ghul aus! An excuse for me to delve into the psychological effects that growing up in the League would have on Danny that I don't really see in other DAG aus. Putting the 'assassin' in 'raised by assassins'. Now with a secondary masterpost listing all of my DAG aus!
My Minor DPxDC Aus Danny Fenton is Thomas Wayne: an oldie but a goodie! An reveal gone wrong au where Danny decides to go by his middle name 'Thomas' shortly after the events of TUE, and leaves Amity Park two years later. He finds out that Vlad cloned him again and finds an infant in the lab. Danny takes the baby, names him Bruce, and ends up adopted by the Waynes.
#Danny Fenton is Jason Todd au: An au where Danny is Jason Todd! He was adopted by the Fentons shortly after the events of the carjacking.
#Older Brother Danny: contains all of my aus where Danny is an Older Brother. This currently includes only my DAG posts but it's not limited to Danyal Al Ghul.
#Changeling Danny: a half-ghost? oh, wait, no. that's a changeling. even worse! Danny's got latent fey blood from a Fenton getting freaky with a faerie some dozen generations ago, and it reactivated with a fervor when he had his accident! Instead of a halfa, he became one of the Fair Folk.
#Blood blossom au: currently the name for the time being. A Nightingale/First Batkid au where Vlad poisons Danny with blood blossom extract, and it results in Danny running to Batman! Currently only one post, but it has a lot of branching pathways in the reblogs. Batdad centered! Now comes with its own fanfic!
#tales of the passerine: the official au name for my "Danny being the first batkid" post! This au is what inspired changeling Danny. It's the idea that Danny was the first to be adopted by Bruce, and features me favoring batdad over "lmfao Danny goes fuck you bruce and adopts the other kids" au. Because I want batdad.
(Nightingale is, so far, the official vigilante name for the Eldest Batkid Danny concept on my blog.)
#mother of monsters danny: specifically its mother of monsters dan but i digress. I was messing around with my fem!Danyal au and boom! Her evil timeline self is Layal, the terrifying Mother of Monsters who raises any manner of monstrous beasts. I love her <3
#martha knight au same song, different dance! This is a fem danny version of my aforementioned "Danny is Thomas Wayne" au. Except this time around, Danny is Martha! Arguably my favorite between the two, I feel like I'm able to do more with her than Thomas. Her au's vibe is After All by Christine Ebersole
Bonus Excerpt: a ficlet I made in response to a DPxDC Dead on Main prompt! It's not under the main tag as I didn't make the post, however it can be found if you search #fem danny fenton on my blog. I actually really love this idea so I may make it its own tag in the future.

tumblr tutorials, guides, & tips.
hi!!! i’m rose!!! i suck with tech and honestly this would’ve been helpful when i started so…here ya go lol!!! tutorials made by @muwapsturniolo @sturnioz @sweetshuga. i’ll be adding more tutorials and tips over time <333
Tumblr media
tutorials.
masterlist
tag links
taglist
custom text color
dividers
header pics
inserting music
* use picsart for custom fonts and copy and paste. use emojicombos for symbols.
Tumblr media
guides.
[ taglist ] - make a post asking people to comment to be added to your taglist or add an authors note at the end of a fic/blurb.
[ tags ] - the #’s of your posts are important. you should have a tag solely dedicated to your blog. tag your work correctly. the first 5 tags are the most important. use popular #’s that are most commonly used and accurate for your specific fic. examples below. look at fics for tag references if needed. note that over tagging sometimes gets flagged as spam and can negatively effect your posts.
#sturniolo smut #sturnioloimagine #sturniolo fluff #sturniolo x reader #matt sturniolo
Tumblr media
tips.
[ theme ] - there is absolutely no rules. make it look how you want. the more aesthetically pleasing or original may boost your interaction.
[ traction ] - people need to find your name and get to know your writing. go to others inboxes, make friends, comment on others posts. get your name out there!
[ interest ] - traction is sustained by interest. you cannot limit yourself to one specific thing or you will burn out on that certain aspect. be creative, be original, and be yourself. your blog will only sustain interest if you’re being you, not someone else. individually sustains interest.
[ fics ] - headers (pics at the top) will create interest and make an initial impression. also include a brief summary, warnings, and an authors note if you’d like. warnings are not optional when writing triggering concepts.
[ inspo ] - music, pinterest, tiktok’s, ig reels, movies, books, other writing concepts or promts are all sources to utilize. take breaks. let yourself daydream. it’s a lot easier to write something you resonate with and want to rather than what you assume will gain more notes.
Tumblr media
i will be adding to this in the future and it will be linked on my pinned <333
with love and big tits, rose 🫶🏻

Welcome to Mono’s Home! this blog is run by @shynetyme06 ✨
Tumblr media
This is a lighthearted askblog centering the character Monochrome, the canon child of Omni and PaperJam, as well as featuring some other utmv goobers that aren't in canon that I wanted to explore relationships with :3c Mono - @skoopskoop Omni - @cereusblue PJ - @7goodangel
Tumblr media
This post was last updated on 3/29/2025!! If you see this on your dash, please click the icon to reblog the og pinned post to make sure you’re sharing the most up to date version ^^
Tumblr media
This blog is not official whatsoever!! While I did create this blog out of appreciation for the canon Omnipj family and aim to stay close to their og personalities, these are still just my own interpretations and I have intentionally fudged canon in several areas to fit the story I want to tell
Tumblr media
Under the cut are the blog rules, disclaimers, the list of characters able to receive questions, and some tags !!
Tumblr media
No inappropriate questions
Some of the asks will be answered with text posts rather than drawings
You may send a question to a character that is inactive in advance, but it’ll take more time to get to
You may send a question asking about utmv characters that are not on the current character list
You may give gifts/items to the characters
There are no limits to how many asks you can send (just try to make separate ones instead of a whole list in one ask)
Please make it clear whenever you want to ask a question to me and not a character, if it isn't obvious I will probably treat it like the rest of the questions and have them answer
Reposts to other platforms are only okay if you include a direct link to either this blog or my main
Tumblr media
The characters!
🧡Mono✨ 🩷PJ 💜Omni 🧶Error 🖌️Ink 🎮Gradient 🎨Palette (The characters with a ✨ next to their name are the ones currently answering/available to answer questions)
Tumblr media
Important tags:
#asks (for all questions directed towards the characters)
#mono's home (everything to do with the au itself, including the asks, references/art, questions for me about it, etc)
#shy rambles (me talking out of character)
#shy art (my art lol)
aand then there's all the character tags that I'm just gonna add to featured tags instead of putting them all here <3
Tumblr media
ty for reading and have fun asking!!

So like, given that the judiciary is useless and the legislature is useless, what do you recommend Americans do? What mechanism do you think protest will be able to activate, other than starting a violent rebellion?
"constitutional government is in the process of breaking down" does not mean "there is nothing the legislature and judiciary can do."
look, all rule of law is kayfabe to some extent, right? the reason it works is that the systems that operate according to its rules have legitimacy, some degree of abstract popular support that means that people broadly obey the decisions of institutions, and where there's strong disagreement about those decisions, the body of people empowered de jure or de facto to settle those disagreements (which includes, but is not limited to, the people with actual social sanction to use violence) care about upholding the system.
but politics did not begin in 1788 with the invention of modern constitutional government, it is not confined to republican systems of power, and it does not occur solely within the realms of electoral politics, judicial process, and legislative sessions. all these things proceed from politics, and did not create it. coalition-building, popular discontent, divisions among factions of elites, and all these other fuzzy things which are hard to pin down in hard data like approval poll numbers matter--they matter to the extent that they have overthrown kings and dictators throughout history, and are in fact responsible for the republican government under which you live.
the actions of the legislature and the judiciary still matter a lot, because they still have different degrees of legitimacy to different groups within the country. it sucks that decades of the convergence of various factors have hollowed out mass political organizing in the united states, so it's hard to mobilize people for substantive action (protests of the sort where you can actually demand things, instead of just vibe on the National Mall), but even though this shit is harder to do effectively, i think even protests still matter! calling your congresscritters to yell at them still matters--especially if they are a Republican member of the House.
and now i'm gonna get a little bit mean, and i apologize for this in advance, but here's the thing: i have been getting a lot of asks lately about "what should people do." and i am just some asshole on tumblr. this is not even an advice blog. at a certain point in life you have to acquire an orientation to the world which is "i may not know the answer to this question, but i i know i can find it out, or i know i can try to find it out, and if that doesn't work i can keep trying." lotta people online right now seem to have this attitude of helplessness. they are waiting for someone with authority to give them a definitive answer about what to do and how to fix things. these answers do not exist. all there is in this life is varying degrees of individuals deciding that they will try something, and hopefully in the process link up with other individuals who are also trying something and maybe have some advice to share.
this isn't just about politics, by the way; this is an attitude that i think it is necessary for all adults to acquire at some point, if they want to avoid feeling helpless and eventually resentful. the world is not a thing happening to you; it is a thing you are inside and can affect. i have my own opinions on what i'd like to see people doing right now, sure--and some of those things are things only, say, members of the house of representatives can do--but i'm not VI fuckin' Lenin here posting from Switzerland in anticipation of leading the revolution when i return. i don't know where you live or what your situation is or who you know. you must, at a certain point, feel a sense of responsibility and duty toward your own community and to your society, and act commensurately.

PSA: Blanket Statements
What is a blanket statement?
A blanket statement is information on your preferences for other creators to interacting with your works. It is helpful for others to know if you welcome podfics, fanart, recursive fiction, translations, remixes, etc of your works!
How can I make a Blanket Statement?
You can use Fanworks Permission Statement Builder to build a version tailored to you!
Or if you want your Blanket Statement to be a Blanket Permission for all fanworks you can use/modify the sentence below:
I welcome transformative works based off of my fan works! This includes podfic, fanart, translations, remixes, recursive fiction and any other fanwork inspired by my works.
Once you have your BS add it to your Ao3 profile. You can also add it to a pinned post in your Tumblr profile or on any other sites you use (Dreamwidth, bluesky, etc).
Tumblr media
Reblog with links to your Blanket Statements to let your followers know where to find it!
More info on Blanket Statements in below:
Do I have to allow all types of derivative/transformative works in my statement?
No, the statement is only an information on your stance on fanworks based on your works. You can allow all fanworks - amazing! You can say you'd rather be asked first before anything is published- great, it makes you more approachable! You can say you don't want any derivative works - thank you, now I know just to admire your works and not bother you with requests ^^
You can even have a mix for example: "Blanket permission for podfics and fanart. For translations or continuing my fics - please ask me first"
What are other information are useful to have with your BS?
How to contact you (comment/tumblr/other social media)
How would you like to be creddited? Is inspired by option on ao3 enough?
Are there any platforms you'd rather derivatives of your works be not shared on? (Note that ao3 doesn't have native hosting for audio and images, so any works in that medium will need to be hosted elsewhere, for example on Internet Archive, Gdrive, Tumblr, Youtube)
I'm worried about AI using my works.
That's understandable. You can add a note saying you do not allow your works to be used by AI in any way - for example to train in or to be used in AI prompts.
I don't have any/much works published. Is it still helpful for me to add a blanket statement?
Yes, in case you create something in the future you'll have it ready to go! And even if you don't it still normalizes having a BS and raises awareness about them!
Why don't people just ask for permission directly?
It can be hard for people to reach out with permission requests for a variety of reasons. They might be participating in time-limited event, where waiting for a response is not viable. They might be in the mood to create *right now*. Asking for permission sometimes feels like a commitment too, so it's easier for many creators to just surprise author with their creation after it's done. Sometimes people ask for permission, but never hear back, or get rejected.
Having an ask-first statement helps you be more approachable too! It shows that you might be open/welcoming to the request.
I've added a Blanket Permission to my profile! Is there a way for me to make it even easier to find for other creators?
Yes! If you have a Blanket Permission available publicly you can add a link to it and username to fanwork permission statement list. You can use this sheet to submit your own permission. There is a browser extension that highlights all usernames with BP in the fps database on ao3.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pride OC portraits - 10 slots -- Pride Couples - 2 slots Contact: [email protected] or Tumblr DMs! Offer ends on June 30th 2025 or when all slots are taken!
My normal commissions are open as always, but like last year I'd like to run an additional little sale for Pride month :D Like last year, the Pride OC style portraits are available at a discount again, limited to 10 slots! Let's celebrate the diversity and beauty of queer bodies! Any fandoms as well as completely original characters welcome - but limited to original characters only!
Additionally, I wanted to open two discounted slots for queer couple illustrations this year, because love is love! These are my regular waist-up illustrations where you can pick and choose between a more detailed, crisp style, or a slightly more sketchy textured style.
The examples here are only MLM ships, because this is mainly what I (get to) draw xD But this is obviously open to any ships involving lgbtqia+ characters! Would be happy to add some variety to my references, so don't hesitate :D
You can find my regular 2025 listing [here] or in my pinned post, including my terms of service.
If you're interested in reserving a slot, send an e-mail with your references (screenshots, descriptions - google drive/dropbox/etc folder links are fine too!) to [email protected] or DM me here on tumblr :D I respond within a day usually and will confirm your slot / discuss details / answer questions!
Happy Pride and thanks for your interest as well as sharing this post and spreading the word!

Contemporary Classic | Sims 2 Lot Download
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is a mix of classic architectural styles and contemporary materials. It's built on a 3x2 lot. It is unfurnished and costs §90,731.
Tumblr media
As I've mentioned in the past, I don't often look at house plans to create my lots. I just draw shapes and keep adjusting roofs until things look ok. I decided to see if I could pin-point the style and came across what Architectural Designs calls the "New American Style". It's a mash up of colonial, craftsman, and farmhouse, which fits pretty well with a lot of the homes I've been sharing! There's also a good dose of classic "traditional" style also thrown in. (See all those vertical white panels at the second link? There's a reason why I created a recolor of the Grey Goose barn panel in white for my game. Maybe I'll get around to including it in a future build...)
Tumblr media
So now that you've had an architecture and design lesson, Let's take a look at the floor plan of this lot!
The original iteration of this home was supposed to be the starter home for the Picaso family. This is the rebuild and is a bit larger and roomier than the first version, while maintaining most of the character. I never stick with the game-made stories because they seem too limiting to me, so that's how 2 camo-wearing, ex-military sims came to live in a place that doesn't fit stylistically with what they are wearing at all! 🤣 It does fit with their potential desire to have kids, but again, since I don't really play the game, they never had a family.
1st Floor: Clockwise from left: Garage, kitchen, bathroom and laundry, stairwell, living room, entryway, office, and dining room.
Tumblr media
2nd Floor: Clockwise from left: Kid's bedroom 1, kid's bedroom 2, master bathroom, master bedroom, upstairs landing, and kids bathroom.
Tumblr media
It's just waiting for you to decorate it and move your sims in!
Contemporary Classic: MF | SFS
All EPs and SPs are required.
*I highly recommend that you have the PerfectPlants mod from TwoJeffs*
I’ve run this home through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run it through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄
This home has 1 piece of CC which you may already have in your game. This can easily be replaced or omitted if you don’t want it though.
CC List (Included): -Maxis Match Wall Cabinets by CTNutmegger at ModtheSims
Default Replacements Shown: -More realistically colored Hydrangea shrub from @peppermint-ginger If you don't have these in your game your Hydrangea shrub's flowers will look neon blue. -Plain white default of the OFB Euro stairs and fence rail by Rosie (Rosebine at MTS2) -White Wall Top Texture Replacement by Maranatah at Mod the Sims
I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.
Want to improve the look of your game, or grab some “Lost & Found” Maxis objects? Check out this post.
