Exploring the Benefits of Blog Commenting

Blog commenting is a form of engagement where users interact with a blog post by leaving feedback, questions, or opinions in the comments section below the post. It serves as a platform for discussion, allowing readers to express their thoughts, provide additional insights, or ask for clarification from the author or other commenters. Blog commenting also helps build community around the blog, fostering connections between readers and the author, and potentially generating valuable insights and feedback for both parties.

Leveraging Blog Commenting for Success

In the expansive realm of digital communication, where blogs serve as platforms for ideas, discussions, and interactions, blog commenting stands as a vital yet often overlooked component. While the act of leaving comments on blog posts may seem trivial to some, it carries significant weight in fostering engagement, building communities, and amplifying voices across the web. At its core, blog commenting represents an avenue for individuals to express their thoughts, share insights, and engage in conversations sparked by the content presented. It transcends the role of a mere spectator, transforming readers into active participants in the discourse. By offering perspectives, asking questions, or providing feedback, commenters contribute to the richness and diversity of conversations surrounding a particular topic. Beyond individual expression, blog commenting serves as a catalyst for community building within digital spaces. Through the exchange of ideas and interactions among commenters, a sense of camaraderie and connection emerges, creating virtual communities centered around shared interests or passions. These communities serve as hubs for knowledge sharing, support networks, and sources of inspiration, fostering a sense of belonging in an otherwise vast and impersonal digital landscape. Furthermore, blog commenting plays a crucial role in amplifying voices and perspectives that may otherwise go unheard. In an era where algorithms often dictate visibility and attention, leaving thoughtful comments allows individuals to carve out their digital footprint and engage with audiences beyond their immediate circles. It provides a platform for marginalized voices, emerging creators, and underrepresented communities to share their experiences, challenge dominant narratives, and spark meaningful discussions on issues that matter. From a practical standpoint, blog commenting offers several tangible benefits for both commenters and blog owners alike. For commenters, it serves as a means of networking, establishing connections with like-minded individuals, industry peers, or potential collaborators. Engaging in meaningful conversations within comment sections can lead to opportunities for professional growth, partnerships, or even new friendships forged in the digital sphere. For blog owners, comments serve as valuable feedback mechanisms, offering insights into the reception of their content, understanding audience preferences, and identifying areas for improvement. Furthermore, active comment sections contribute to the overall engagement metrics of a blog, signaling to search engines and algorithms the relevance and quality of the content, thereby potentially improving its visibility and reach. However, despite its potential benefits, blog commenting is not without its challenges. The rise of spam, trolls, and toxic behavior in comment sections has led many blog owners to implement stricter moderation policies or even disable comments altogether. Additionally, the sheer volume of content available online can make it challenging for bloggers to keep up with and respond to every comment effectively. In conclusion, blog commenting remains a powerful and valuable tool in the digital landscape, facilitating meaningful connections, fostering communities, and amplifying voices across the web. By recognizing the importance of thoughtful engagement and nurturing vibrant comment sections, bloggers and readers alike can harness the full potential of this often underestimated aspect of online communication.

A Wants Tree Collection

Hi! So for the long time I've been using veronavillequiltingbee's Personal Wants Tree mod and I've pondered "could I ever make a Wants Tree of my own - without breaking them?" I've never actually tried too much because I wasn't too much tech savvy to mess with that kind of files, but then I saw Riftwalker's Wants Trees and saw a commenter want to combine that mod with Fewer Hobby Wants, so I said "why not?" and got to work reading tutorials and the like. Gladly, I ended up with a Wants Tree that I loved and also learnt a thing or two in the process!

This Want Tree file includes the following:

Riftwalker's Wants Tree

Go Steady Want for Adults and Elders*

Fixed Break Up Want for Teens, Adults and Elders; both for Steady and Marriage

New Family Member Want for Teens and Children of All Aspirations

University related Wants enabled for All Aspirations

Engagement Want and Left at Altar Fear enabled for All Aspirations

*You need another mod to enable those interactions. Mine only enables the want.

Note: I disabled Teen Woohoo wants for the most part. I still have the file without that feature as a backup so I can upload it if requested. Uploaded.

Lamare's Wants Tree

University Career Wants Enabled

Careers now roll based on Interests rather than Aspirations (Adults Only)

You may want to get Lamare's getUniCareerWithoutEducation from the original post. Or not.

SnorkackSearcher's Wants Tree

No Talk or Blog About Hobby Wants

Hobby Wants are Restricted by Personality

BellaDovah's Wants Tree (from her Discord server)

Adjusted Hustle Pool Want

midgethetree's Wants Tree

Anti-Vampirism Potion Want Disabled

Werewolf Howl Fear Disabled

daman19942's Wants Tree (not exactly a wants tree but a tutorial instead...?)

Reputation Wants Disabled

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Backup your original WantTrees.package. This package is located at:

For the old-school version: EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSData\Res\Wants

For the new-school UC version: Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Wants

2. Rename matti_WantTrees.package to just WantTrees.package.

3. Replace WantTrees.package in the game installation folder with the one you downloaded (not your Downloads folder).

KNOWN ISSUES

Engagement and Steady wants may roll at the same time.

Sims may roll Steady wants towards their spouses.

Teens may still get the 20 Woohoo LTW despite the wants being disabled. A workaround is to just reroll the LTW with a mod such as Sim Blender.

Statistically Speaking...

part of the svt TA collab

[full fic here]

kim mingyu x reader

est. word count: 10-15k [fat chance]

est. release date: 10th September

warnings: TA! mingyu, fluff, smut [MINORS DNI], angst, statistics, more to be added in final post

synopsis: In all your years of academic endurance, you’ve never failed. A 100% success rate, despite you cutting it close at times. However, the line graph that is your life starts tanking somewhere around the time you began taking this hellsent Statistics in Psychological Research class. With a professor that wouldn’t know his ass from his head, and an overworked, overenthusiastic, and overcaptivating TA, it couldn't possibly get any worse than this. However, statistically speaking,…it could.

‼️ JOIN THE TAGLIST by sending an ask or replying under this post. AGE INDICATORS ON YOUR BLOG ARE NECESSARY. ‼️

[a/n]: first look into the TA collab fic!!! @camandemstudios has been along time in the making and I cant wait for you all to read all of the fics in full. accept this piece offering from me and please let me know what you think of it so far!

masterlist

“Right. How can I help you?”

Pulling out your printed assignment, you bring the sheets of stapled paper to the centre of the table, writing facing him. 

One look at the sparse format of the cover page, Mingyu blows a full mouth of air at the sight of recognition. Without you having to say a thing, he flicks to the very last page, finding the rubric printed on a separate page. 

“It’s a 37,” you inform him like he couldn’t see the bold 37/100 in the bottom Total cell. 

“Do you think you deserved a better grade?” he asks. It would have sounded direct, an accusation even. But he asks with an intonation of genuinity, like he genuinely wanted to know. 

It stumps you regardless.

“Well…I know I can do better, at least,” you decide to answer. 

“You’re here, which means you’re at least willing to try. That’s a start,” he murmurs. His eyes are laser focused on the sheet beneath him, holding it open as his eyes move faster across the page than you can keep up with. Somehow talking to you while taking in the words on the paper.

“I remember marking this,” he says, looking up to address you. “Your concepts are nearly there, but your structure and wording were the problem.”

“You marked them?”

He raises his brow, “I hope that wasn’t an accusation. I need to stick to the rubric.”

“I thought the professor marked the lab reports.”

“He’s…supposed to.” There’s a forced reservedness in his voice. “I mark them and he puts in his comments if he has any. But I’m not sure you’d fare any better than this if it was him behind that pen either.”

Every question that floated in memorisation, from the form and structure, to the nitty gritties of the data presentation, all evaporate as you realise you’re at a loss for words. 

Even more embarrassingly, you feel tears prick the back of your eyes as the next words leave you in a low voice, “I don’t know what to do anymore.”

“That’s alright,” he says as reassurance, though it sounds awfully rehearsed. Like he says it everyday. “We’ll work through it.”

He lets out a big sigh, adjusting in his chair and running a hand through his hair. The motion has you noticing the dishevelled nature of the mop on his head, un-uniformed and sticking out at certain places, yet still somehow cohesive with his look. His shoulders are straight and taut, fingers working as they fiddle and flick the pen in his hand. 

Despite it all, his shirt is ruffled and creased, unbuttoned at the first couple steps. The buttons are misaligned, one side of his collar higher on his neck than the other. It takes an effort to not reach over and fix it for him.

“Lab reports can be quite tricky if you aren’t sure what you’re doing. Did you refer to the tutorial?”

You mean the one that did nothing to help? “Yes.”

“You got those bits right, format and whatnot. But—”

“It was a lump of writing about subheadings and word counts,” you say plainly.

Mingyu lips are in a tight line. “Well, yes, but it helps—”

“I know the results are supposed to go in the results section. I don’t need a PDF to tell me that,” you cut him off. Your voice is reserved, and you hope it comes off as a point across and not a complaint. Although it was a complaint. “I want to know why the entire section was ruled off as incorrect when we were never properly taught how to write it in the first place.”

“Dr. Cho—”

“Is no help.”

“I understand—”

“He can’t even mark his own papers. I’m quite sure that’s not in your job description. It’s supposed to be him here. Not you.”

It’s silent. There was nothing in your voice that suggested you wished to pick a fight, on the contrary, quite calm and matter of fact. Mingyu’s fingernails are going white as his grip on his pen and paper grow stronger. 

“And yet, we continue to show up. Because we do what we must.” He raises his head in control, a small smile on his face, eyebrows unnaturally raised. “And, better that I’m here rather than no one at all. I can help you too.”

Help, he did. 

Mingyu had made it quite clear his time with you was limited, but by the end of the near 25 minute session, nearly every inch of your printed assignment was covered different colours of notes and corrections, additional papers and post-it notes pasted on the back as you remain careful to not lose them as you slip the stack in your bag. 

It’s only then that you spot the segregated stack of papers in your bag that you remember. 

“I almost forgot,” you say, grabbing the pile and placing it in front of him. 

“Where did you find this?” he asks sharply. 

“You left them at the desk of the lecture hall last week,” you say, before quickly adding, “There was a class right after you left. I took them off the professor’s hands before they got lost. Thought it might be important.”

“I’ve been looking all over for these,” he says as he goes through the pages and files. Random sticky tabs and highlighted regions across the pages. The leather strap watch with the broken clock face remains on top, and he picks it up. He looks up to you with wide, sparkling eyes and a smile that feels genuine. “Thank you.”

You flush for some reason, “O–of course, couldn’t just leave them there.”

It isn’t till you’re pushing yourself out of your chair that he says something. “You can come in at 3:30 tomorrow.”

“Pardon?”

He’s stood up as well. “I have a free thirty minutes before office hours formally start. I can help you out a little more without the crowd.” 

Feet planted on the ground, there’s not much you can do but stare. “Um, sure. I can come in a little early.”

He nods casually, “Thanks again for the papers. And the watch.”

You smile, “No problem.”

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Where do you learn to do comics? What books did you read or watch?

That's the answer.

What did I read? Comics.

There wasn't a single video or book or blog that taught me what I needed to know. I have seen GREAT video tutorials and guides, sure. But it's my belief that you can consume COUNTLESS How-To guides ad infinitum (good ones! Useful ones!) and still not get a single useful thing out of them if you don't know how to learn from watching people do what you want to do.

Reading comics can be mindless and fun. You don't have to think a lot when reading comics.

But if you want to MAKE comics, you have to also read comics like you're listening to a lecture. You have to be willing to do the mental brainwork that it takes to understand comics on your own.

You have to read comics like the comic itself is a TEDTalk. You have to look at the pages and, instead of just going "haha, that's cool" ask yourself "Why do I like that panel so much? What makes it POP?"

I don't consider myself a huge comic connoisseur or anything. I haven't read as many comics as some people. I haven't read a great amount of varieties. I read Calvin and Hobbes, and I read manga, and I read Young Avengers, and XKCD and Stand Still Stay Silent, and a lot of Ryan Andrew's works.

And every time I read those comics, I thought 'why are there panels HERE, but no panels THERE?' and 'why is there no text here?' and 'why is this colored, but this isn't?' and I tried to come up with the answer to all of those questions.

I can't recommend guides. They're out there, many of them - great ones, incredible ones. But I can't recommend them.

What I CAN recommend is reading comics.

Comics that expand the panel and push boundaries of what a comic can be:

Comics that have an incredible narrative and a strong sense of theme:

Comics with horror themes that do creepiness and suspense really well through pacing and layout:

Also horror, but with fantastic architecture that teaches you about scale and backgrounds:

And there's, idk, TONS of others! I'm sure others can recommend in the comments. :)

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

My fifth and final gift for the Petalruesimblr Advent Calendar is: Dermatology Career! This is my third full-time career that I've created for The Sims 3 and I'm so happy it is finally complete.

I just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope your holiday season is filled with joy and love! 💜

If you are interested, click on ’Keep Reading’ below for more information and pictures of the Dermatology Career.

Dermatology Career

Sim File Share

Ready to get under the skin of the most fascinating (and sometimes most frustrating) aspects of beauty? The world of dermatology is calling! Whether you’re performing cutting-edge laser treatments or giving pep talks to patients with the occasional outbreak, there’s never a dull moment in the world of skincare. And who knows? Maybe you’ll even land an internship under Dr. McSteamy himself - so apply now!

Career Type: Full Time Available for: Young Adults, Adults and Elders Available Languages: English Levels: 10 Rabbit Hole: DaySpa Does it have Carpool? Yes Does it have Uniforms? Yes (details under Final Notes) File Type: Package Min. Required Game Version: 1.42 Packs Needed: The Sims 3 📣All descriptions for the levels, tones and metrics as well as skills required, salary, uniforms and other details are provided on the pictures above. Right-click on a picture and select ’Open image in new tab’ for a clearer view.

NRAAS Careers Mod

Branches and Wages: I decided to focus on two branches for my Dermatology career, which branch out after level 5: Cosmetic Dermatology, focusing on non-surgical treatments and Cosmetic Dermatologic Surgery, which specializes in skin surgery. The two branches share the same skill and metric requirements, as they are both part of the medical field. The main difference lies in their salaries, with the Cosmetic Dermatologic Surgery branch offering a higher pay. I aimed to make the wages as realistic as possible however to compensate for the increased days off and decreased work hours as the level increases, I had to raise the hourly wages beyond the normal salary ranges for Levels 6-10 for both branches. Metrics and Books: This career is similar to the medical career in The Sims 3, particularly in terms of the logic skill and research as part of its metrics. However, I also included charisma, as I believe it’s a vital skill for patients to trust and feel comfortable with their doctors, especially when it comes to skin treatments. Opportunities and Uniforms: With a bit of experience in creating opportunities, I decided to add four this time, three of which are repeatable! All of them are relatively simple and offer bonuses, as well as salary increases for some as rewards upon completion. For uniforms, I’ve provided a picture above to highlight the differences between the levels by assigning different colors to the scrubs. There isn’t a general color assigned to dermatology uniforms, as hospitals usually decide the scrub colors for their various departments. As stated above, you will need NRAAS Careers Mod for these careers to show up in the game and as long as you have the latest version of it, it should work for higher patches. You can also read my #psa regarding these careers, click here. I’m not fluent in any other languages to translate so if anyone is interested in translating this career, please don’t hesitate to send me a message here, comment on this post or let me know in my Ask/Contact form (if you don’t have a Tumblr account) and will let you know the details. I have tested this career in my game, so far it is working and all scripts are showing up. All feedback is very welcome to help me learn and improve my skills so please let me know if you experience any problems on your end and I’ll do my best to sort it as soon as possible.

THE BAU’s FAVOURITE SOCIAL MEDIAS:

EMILY: TWITTER - Something about her just screams ‘I scroll rage bait first thing in the morning before I head to Quantico to defend my country.’

HOTCH: NORDVPN - Literally just a VPN. Maybe several. He doesn’t play around when it comes to personal cyber security.

SPENCER: WIKIPEDIA - He has a compulsion to correct all the misinformation. Only reason he ever ventures onto the internet.

PENELOPE: TUMBLR - Has 14 side blogs and has met at least 10 of her mutuals. “Please don’t tell me you’re in love with a fictional character.”

MORGAN: TINDER - Does this one even require commentary?

TARA: YOUTUBE - She unwinds by watching video essays in the bath while she waits for her peel-off face mask to dry.

LUKE: TIKTOK - His fyp consists of dog videos, cooking tutorials, and TikTok dances—he learns them in secret and busts them out whenever he has a small victory.

ROSSI: FACEBOOK - And he definitely falls for all of those AI images—sorry Papa Pasta…

GIDEON: NONE - Still has a flip phone.

[ 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

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.

i will be adding to this in the future and it will be linked on my pinned <333

If the primarchs had social media

Lion: There is nothing on his accounts. Not even a profile-picture. Someone is still logging into them every so often. Fulgrim: On all the plattforms. Primarely family-blogger: look at my perfect kids, my perfect spaceship, my perfect partner, my perfect healthy breakfest, my perfect make-up. OnlyFans-account on the side. Get‘s into controversies all the time. Perty: Angry rants. Has spent to much time on Twitter. Old man yells at cloud type of stuff. Jagh: And this is how we‘ll break the speed-limit today! Talks about bikes, how to mod them, drives them around very fast, ect. Occasional horse-pictures. Leman: Puppies! Just cute dog-pictures and -videos, of every canine he encounters in the galaxy Rogal: He isn‘t very good at social media. Sometimes posts bad selfies or pictures of his building projects. Completly ignores all of Pertys hate-comments Konrad: He writes fanfic. Edgy, dark, not very good fanfic. The protag is a clear self-insert and Mary Sue and brings justice to all the settings he puts them in. A ton of spelling errors. The plot barely holds together. He is very proud of it. Sang: He has official accounts with pretty pictures of him everywhere, but he has some private accounts that are just like his art and sometimes cute family pictures. Also why can I see Sang having a Vtuber-persona he livestreams with so people don‘t recognize him? Ferrus: Appears on Fulgrims accounts fairly often. Maybe does some gaming-content on the side Angron: Everything is very sporadic and when it‘s there it‘s pretty angry. Surprisingly talks a lot about issues with his disabilities and that he needs way more help than he get‘s and also all his trauma. Struggles a lot with typing and forming sentences, so it can be hard to understand at times. Roboute: A channel with tutorials for stuff like running a planet or putting on armour. If people ask him to explain something he can just send them a link. Morty: Not very active, sometimes pictures of some funky plants and little texts about them. Magnus: Video-essays. He dissappers for months and then returns with a four-hour-video (minimum) about the most random topic. Hugely popular. Horus: Look at my sexy abs! Look at my huge bicep! Soft-porn-pictures of him and his sons. Probally also had OnlyFans. Lorgar: Social media is great for preaching! So he does that! Deletes all his accounts after monarchia. Vulkan: Food! He loves trying out new recipes from diffrentc cultures! At the start of every recipe is a pagelong story, which people actually read Corvus: Also writes Fanfic. Very, very good fanfic if a bit edgy at times. Kind of has a rivalery with Konrad. Also runs a very active blog, about both writing and justice, with occasional bits about guerilla-warfare Alpharius Omegon: Just the worst trolls. Dozens if not hundreds of sockpuppet accounts. They are having a good time.

NAKED GRANDMA

Now that I have your attention, just wanted to put out a few things. This does not apply to anyone in particular, but set as a reminder to everyone, though I will be directing some of these to people who warranted it. This applies to both here on tumblr and on my twitter page.

At the end of the day, Raven is MY original character.

about the top/bottom thing

I get a lot of asks pushing the idea that Raven must be dominant or topping Price because she's a badass which let me be clear, Raven is a switch. Sometimes she tops, most time she doesn't. If I've already talked or drawn things where she's explicitly bottoming or just being submissive, you who comes in and push her to topping instead in an already established dynamic and context is kind of a dick move to me. Listen, just because a character is strong and competent doesn't mean she is also dependent in the bedroom, that they are only valid if they're dominant at all time. Get that misogyny bs out of here.

about requests and rude comments

If you're sending ask telling me to draw a mlm art with Price, going as far as telling me that Price is gay why do you have to do what every tiktokers/artist and ship him with a skinny copy and paste girl- Get out. This is my blog and you're coming here to frame her presence and existence as somehow inferior just because "it's better" then please fuck off. Take your sexisms and poorly disguised fetish FAR AWAY FROM ME. I won't entertain these asks and simply won't care. This is my main OC with stories and lores I care about. You want mlm? then find it elsewhere, there are places out there with this sort of content. Also, just fucking block me if you hate my OC stuff so much. Block the tags block my blog everything, if you need a tutorial here's one. I promise I don't give a flying fuck of your feelings.

Also, another subset of asks who's somehow disappointed about the fact with Raven marrying and having a family with Price (which mind you, the kids exist in a different timeline and not the canon one even), as though settling down with someone you love is????wrong???bad????? You people gotta be coming from the most narrow-minded or cesspool of tiktok/twitter to think settling down is downplaying her character. Again, this must be fucking linked back to the idea that "strong woman" must remain cold, isolated, work all the time to be valid. Don't bring your "oh she could've earned her Master degree and that high paying job at New York but noooo she settled with a boy without frontal lobe development who still stays at his mom's basement without a paying job instead :(((" and "just as worse as early Disney Princesses story" into MY NARRATIVE. Raven and Price are both approaching 40, coming from high demand and stress work who WANTS to settle down and build something NICE and domestic together. It's healing and they deserve it. Don't go around projecting your dislike for marriage and kids onto my, or ANYONE'S characters and dynamics (again, it's my OC??? like???? kindly fuck off once more??????)

Raven should and must do this or that

No, Raven should rest. Tone is important, if at any point it sounded like a pressure than a chill hey an idea :D then out the door you go as well.

Final note

I'm not trying to deter anyone from sending ask about Raven, you're welcome to make your HC and interpretations about Raven because well it's the internet and part of the fandom experience. I do enjoy and love answering ask about them! On the occasions I don't engage or respond to them, it's not personal alright? I just don't agree with or vibe with the take, I'm very specific with Raven specifically because she's the closest OC I've got here. But please please don't keep pushing your view onto mine, especially when I've already established my take on her.

I am sharing my OC with you, because I love her, I love her story and everything I've done to build her, and to share some of those moments both sad and joy with you because it's fun. I'm not here to warp her by popular demands or to change what she does just because you're whining about it.

Thank you for reading this far, and thank you everyone who has been kind and respectful. Here's to more OC shenanigans.

A/N: this is for all the Seungmin stans out there x

There isn’t any way to work around a more stubborn person. People that you’ve met before don’t even come close to the level of arrogance that this person carries with them. That person being one of your tutors for a class at Uni, Seungmin. For some reason, he always has the time of day to help other people but has an issue with your supposed incompetence in completing a task when it comes to you. 

Seungmin never checks your work, never goes over your answers, discusses your ideas or anything like that. He has a very prickly attitude yet only those needles are only for you. You see the sigh he lets out whenever you need to approach him to clarify something he went over during the tutorial. You see the crease between his eyebrows as the annoyance grows when you ask if he can read a draft of yours before you submit it. 

He never does that with other students. Seungmin is happy to help them, makes conversation with them before class, and always seems to have time for them. 

The difference in his behaviour towards you definitely placed an unnecessary burden on your shoulders. But you’re not one to budge. Whether his intentions are malicious or not, you’re not exactly an easy one to crack, which is why you continued to supposedly ‘bother’ him. 

“Hey,” you approach him after one of his tutorials, hoping you used a good enough manner to not light a fire under his seat. “Would you be able to check this for me?”

Seungmin furrows his eyebrows - not a good sign, and averts his eyes from the whiteboard to look at your paper, “I can’t help you with that.”

“And why is that?” You question. “You had no trouble looking at everyone else’s. How’s mine any different?”

“Judging from your grades, I’d suspect there would be a lot of differences,” he responds.

“I’ll take that as a compliment since I’m one of the top in the class thank you,” you scoff. 

“And one of the top most arrogant too,” Seungmin fires back. “If you haven’t got anything relevant to show me, I suggest you leave. The next tutorial group starts in twenty minutes.” 

Your face contorts slightly, “well since this isn’t relevant enough for you, is it possible for you to check over one of the drafts we have to send in on Friday?”

“Can’t do that either-“

“Then what can you do exactly?” You cut him off impatiently. “Seriously, I’ve been trying to ask you for help for the past two weeks and you’ve only ever given me vague answers to my questions and you won’t proofread any of my work which is what you’re here to do.”

Seungmin takes off his glasses and closes the distance between himself and you, “I don’t help out entitled people like you who always demand things.”

You glare up at him, “I’m not entitled. I was just merely commenting about the fact that you don’t do what you’re being paid to do.”

“And you just keep proving my point as to why you are entitled, because you don’t shut up and you always complain. After every tutorial, you come up to me and ask me for something.” 

“Yeah, just like everyone else and yet, I don’t see you giving the same shit to them as you do to me,” you argue right back with him. 

“That’s because you expect things to be handed to you on a silver plate. Unlike them, you don’t work for your shit with me,” Seungmin responds, placing the cap on the whiteboard marker a little bit too rough. 

“Being here is me working for my shit,” you press back. “You’re just being a stubborn ass because you don’t like me.”

“Well you’re right with one thing,” he sighs.

You roll your eyes and scoff, “fuck you honestly.” 

It took a lot of effort not to just shove Seungmin out of your way as you headed out the door with a fresh stormy cloud looming over your head. Felix could spot it a mile away when you went to meet up with him for lunch nearby after his class too. 

“What’s wrong?” He asks carefully, studying the pained expression on your face. 

“Nothing,” you sigh, trying to let it go. “Just one of my stupid tutors.”

“Is this the same one that isn’t doing his job properly?” Felix questions, remembering the conversation you both had about him a while back. 

“Bingo.”

“You know, he’s probably dealing with things in the background that you don’t know about,” Felix points out, his habit of always giving people the benefit of the doubt starting to shine through. 

“Yeah, pretty sure he’s dealing with ‘absolute fucking dickhead disorder’,” you spit. “And even if he was - even if the worst is happening to him, he has no right to be taking out his anger or frustration on me.” 

Felix sports a disappointed look on his face, “is it just you, or are there others?”

“It’s just me, I swear.”

“Okay, I believe you,” Felix assures. “If he really is as bad as you say he is, maybe just ignore him. We’ve only got seven weeks left, that’s not too long until you can get away from him, yeah?” 

It was easier said than done, because the next round of tutorials that approached in the following week, opened up that fresh wound of just seeing Seungmin’s face and dreading it. All of Felix’s advice went out the gate, almost like it was never there in the first place.

In the end, you simply chose not to speak. What’s the point in arguing with a person who won’t move?

So right after the tutorial, you don’t bother darting straight to Seungmin and asking for his help. He’s not willing to give it to you so there’s no point in lingering behind. As you pack your things up from the table and start to head out, Seungmin peers at you from behind the glasses that you so badly want to knock off his face sometimes. 

He’s not entirely stumped that you haven’t approached him, but he is a bit intrigued. Maybe he had come across too strongly with you the other day - maybe within the past month without being of any help to you at all. Then again, Seungmin isn’t the most apologetic of people. 

“Surprised you’re not asking me to check anything for you,” he projects his voice to you just before you leave the class. 

You heard him on your way out, but what’s a retaliation going to do? Only add fuel to your own fire. Seungmin isn’t the one who’s got something to lose here. He’s just a student tutor who’s clearly got enough competence to reinforce the learning you receive during lectures. At the end of the day, his grades for this class aren’t on the line. Yours are. 

“Y/N,” you hear a voice call out to you, recognising it to be Felix. Caught up in the swirl of your own thoughts, you almost forgot Felix had been waiting for your tutorial to end as he sat in a row of seats against the wall. 

“Hey,” you call out to him. 

“So, how was it? Did you say anything to him?” He asks as you sit down beside him. 

“I just gave up,” you answer. “I forgot that you can’t get your point across to dickheads so I stopped trying. I’ll just go to the other classes' tutorials if they let me switch. Or maybe I can just cross-check my work with their tutor.”

“Geez, that bad is he?”

“The fucking worst,” you confirm.

However, you weren’t surprised to learn that Seungmin’s attitude and behaviour still continued in the following tutorial, close to an essay hand-in date which is what you didn’t need. The only saving grace is that instead of going over the content that you learned in an earlier lecture, Seungmin allowed his students to study for another upcoming in-class test in the upcoming week. 

You spent that time wisely working on the essay you needed to hand in since it was the first due. Then, by two o’clock, everyone started wrapping up their study session. You slot your books into your bag, zip it up, and ready to leave.

“You, come here,” Seungmin speaks in your direction, but you really don’t want to listen. At first to begin with, you were surprised he was even talking to you.

“And if I don’t?” 

“Don’t be stubborn. I want to talk about your assignment,” he replies. He set his bait and waited for you to take it. So you approach him hesitantly from your chair, leaving your bag behind at the table. 

“See, how hard was that?” 

You roll your eyes. Not even a full conversation in and he’s already made you reach your limit, “oh go fuck yourself.”

Upon hearing your nasty sentiment, Seungmin’s hand latches quickly onto your wrist, “what did you just say?”

You look down at your arm in disbelief, then back up to him, his eyes narrowing at you, “what?”

“Say it again.”

“I said; ‘go fuck yourself.”

“Fucking brat.” 

Without warning, Seungmin’s hands grasp the sides of your arms in a flash, backing you against the wall behind him. Out of nowhere, his mouth comes down and crashes against yours in a bruising kiss. There’s no time to process what’s actually going on when you start kissing him back, allowing his tongue to delve deeper into his mouth. 

In the back of your mind, you can’t believe your own actions, but at the same time, pushing back on him also feels like you’re letting some of that frustration go. To take things further, Seungmin breaks away from you for a moment, turning your body by your arms, and backs you straight into the desk until your hips hit the edge.

Your first instinct tells you to lean back while your legs automatically lift so that Seungmin can slot right in, pressing his semi-hard dick against your pussy. 

It gives you the opportunity to wrap your legs around his waist, trying to bring him in closer as you hope for more friction. Seungmin pins your wrists down to the desk, kissing along your jaw and down to your throat where he bites and sucks until there’s a line of future regretful hickies for you to deal with later on. 

“D-Do something,” you stammer, feeling so dizzy from the pleasure that you desperately start to chase. 

“Why should I?” He mumbles into your skin. 

You turn your head, watching figures of people pass by through the frosted glass of the door who could potentially walk in at any given time. In saying that, a portion of you recognises that there’s something so naughty about being caught in the act. 

“Please Seungmin,” you beg for him, feeding into his ego. 

His head rises from your neck, “that’s the first time I’ve ever heard you say ‘please’.” 

You didn’t care what he meant by that. All you care about is relieving that itch inside the pit of your stomach because you know that horny feeling will take a long time to dissipate. Nonetheless, Seungmin seems to listen to you when he unbuttons the first two buttons of his white dress shirt. 

His fingers reach down to your jeans, unzipping them and yanking them right off your legs until you’re just left in your underwear, already soaking through. Seungmin uses the pad of his thumb to brush gently over the fabric which is sticky to the touch. It makes the corner of his mouth tug up. 

“Keep quiet if you don’t want people to come in,” he warns before taking his glasses off and placing them to the side of you before kneeling down. 

Your chest already starts heaving just feeling his warm breath fan across your inner thighs. The anticipation leading up to it has you clawing at the desk when Seungmin starts removing your underwear. 

“Look how fucking wet you are,” he speaks from a stance of astonishment just seeing what he was able to do to you from a simple makeout session and some rough and tumble. 

His comment turns you into a flustered mess that is easily shattered when Seungmin moves his mouth closer to your pussy, kissing your inner thigh and inching closer until he reaches your clit. Your back arches in an instant. One hand clasps over your mouth to stifle a loud moan at the heat of Seungmin’s mouth, the other grabs a fistful of his hair and starts tugging. He doesn’t dare hold back; sucking on your clit, lapping up at what he can to make your entire body shudder. 

It never occurred to you that Seungmin is like this. You’ve always made him out to be some rich, entitled, arrogant, teacher's pet with good grades and an outstanding reputation when he goes and does shit like this – eating you out in broad daylight, in public.

Whatever rabid spirit took over Seungmin, it wasn’t stopping him. His tongue dances perfect circles and random shapes against your clit, embracing your thighs quivering shamelessly around his head. 

“Oh my god, feels…feels so good,” you mutter, using every drop of energy you can to subdue the moans into whimpers. 

Not even the hand you’ve been trying to use to cover your mouth is working because when Seungmin keeps building you up to that edge, you increasingly become louder. But that’s all on him for initiating this, not that you’re complaining. Not when your head is just about thrashing back behind you on the wooden surface trying to syphon all the pleasure you’re getting. It’s like rouge electricity, a live wire inside of you that has no chance of being tamed. 

“Fuck, gonna make me cum,” you mumble, eyelids already fluttering. “So…good.”

Seungmin heard that as a sign to press his face further into your pussy but kept the same momentum and pace that his tongue uses to make you cum, and when you do, every ounce of pleasure pours into all the cells throughout your body. It rattles you in such a good way, that you forget how hard you’re tugging on Seungmin’s hair as he continues to eat you out through to the very end. But you managed to stay quiet – just. 

Your body unstiffens and your chest heaves up and down trying to catch air. The orgasm was so massive that afterwards, you couldn’t figure out what time it was or where you were. It nearly took out every bit of consciousness you had remaining. 

“Been wanting to do that for a while,” he rasps. 

Whatever that means – not that you can articulate it as of yet. You’re still trying to grapple with reality and when Seungmin unzips his pants to free his cock, you know there’s no point in trying.

He’s big in length and has a sizeable girth. He teases you with his tip, sliding up and down from your now oversensitive clit to your drenched hole. Just feeling how wet you are makes him wonder one thing:

“Are you a virgin?” He asks. 

You’re still trying to regain a bit of consciousness, only able to muster a few words at a time, “no...no I’m not.”

“I pinned it down to either that or someone hasn’t touched you in a while,” he responds. You groan at the embarrassment. Seungmin must obviously be that experienced for him to make such an observation. 

“The latter. Now just hurry up and fuck me.” 

“Shut up,” Seungmin snipes, even though he begins to push his cock inside of you at a terribly slow pace. 

You didn’t realise how much you had been aching to have someone inside you. Your own fingers can’t seem to do the right trick of actually feeling full and satisfied. But now that Seungmin is here, slowly thrusting in until he reaches the hilt, can he make you feel that way. 

“Jesus fuck,” Seungmin bites down on his lip and has to hold onto the edge of the desk beside your body for support. 

He’s never felt anything like it. Even after sleeping with other women prior to you in his past, there’s something about the way you feel that isn’t like the rest. Maybe it’s from the fact that you hadn’t been touched in a while or not, either way, Seungmin can’t contain himself when he starts thrusting properly. 

His cock glides in like melted butter, the lewd wet sounds making you want to hide from embarrassment. But Seungmin revels in it like it’s about to slip through his fingers like sand. So he lowers his body onto yours, resting some of his weight comfortably on you. It’s intimate yes, but it enables Seungmin to start whispering things in your ear. 

“So fucking wet for me, aren’t you?” He purrs. “Such a good girl for taking all of my cock, especially for someone who hasn’t been touched in a while. Just opened up for me so easily.” 

No words could ever spring to your mind in response to that, but it causes your body and mind to have a reaction you’re all too familiar with from about five minutes ago. That tingly feeling starts creeping up inside you the longer Seungmin keeps fucking you. His cock repetitively hits such a deep sweet spot that you don’t think anyone’s ever reached before. 

“S-Seungmin…it feels…fuck it feels so good,” you moan right in his ear, your arms clinging to his back. 

“Yeah?” He chuckles. “I bet it does with the way that you’re clenching around me.” 

Seungmin just keeps finding ways to unintentionally embarrass you, but if there’s one thing that he’s learnt about you and himself, it’s that he likes seeing you so flustered. He thinks it’s cute. In saying that, he doesn’t want to get too caught up in things when the euphoria that has already built itself impossibly high starts making itself known.

Just like you, Seungmin feels too good right now. He’s doused in warmth from the heat wrapping around his cock and the way that your walls keep involuntarily clamping around him. 

“S’too much…” you gasp for air, fingers digging into his clothed arms at this point. “M’gonna cum again please.”

Seungmin presses himself up away from your body but still thrusting at his same pace, “go on then. I want to see your face when you do.” 

It washes over you quickly and he’s fast to clock onto the small reactions beginning to change. The only thing that doesn’t alter is the fucked-out look you have on your face. That remains all the way up until the bliss starts packing its punch. Seungmin’s hips don’t hamper your orgasm, not when he watches your eyes roll back and sees the words to describe how you’re feeling become lodged in your throat. 

“Y-Yes!” you call out, your voice echoing throughout the empty classroom. Your wet walls convulse around Seungmin’s cock, clutching onto him for dear life as you cum hard. 

“I suppose that’s why you cum so easily, huh?” He asks, catching his breath. “Because nobody’s been touching you? Poor thing.” 

Your cheeks burn a bright red as Seungmin continues to fuck you, right up until he’s had his fill. Regardless of how overstimulated you are, he can’t stop because he’s nearly there. His hips stutter forward a few times as he chases the tail of his orgasm, getting hit with it right at the last second. 

“Fuck I’m gonna cum,” he lowers his head, watching where his cock keeps disappearing into and listening to your whimpers. It’s all enough to tip him right over the edge and into a pool of warm euphoria. “Yes – fuck!” 

With a few more grunts and thrusts, Seungmin slows right down as he cums inside you. For a split second there, his vision started to go splotchy. It reminded him of the fact that he hasn’t cum that hard in a while. In saying that, you get to bask in the warm sensation that fills your lower half. 

“Shit,” he gasps, breathing heavily. In the back of his mind, something told him that he shouldn’t have done that. “I’m sorry.” 

“It’s fine,” you swallow, trying to dampen your dry throat. “You’re lucky I’m into that.” 

He lets out a breathy chuckle and for the first time, you’ve actually seen Seungmin genuinely smile.

General Jirai Makeup Tips

Hi! Here's a general list of jirai makeup tips that i want to give to any baby jirais in the community. Here's some housekeeping before we begin:

This blog post may be regularly updated; please check the original blog for any updates regarding this post. I am currently trying to look for tutorials and TikToks made by darker-skinned jirai, but I do not actively consume jirai social media aside from jiraiblr (nor do i have a TikTok account—I just linked the top results from the desktop/website lmao) so PLEASE comment if you know something. This is an open resource for anyone who wants to learn how to do jirai makeup.

These are tips that worked for me when I was starting out, mostly self-taught and modeling myself after what I saw and what I liked, then finally branched out and focused on what I liked AND looked good on me. There are plenty of other places and resources where you can find makeup tips. If you have any tips that worked for you, please let me know and I'll add it here!

The most important tip of all: Most jirais online are editing their photos and/or using beautifying filters which can change how their faces look. You will be hard-pressed to find any photos of jirai online that aren't edited. You might have luck looking on Reddit (yuck, I know) because most beginner jirais post images of their makeup there and ask for tips, or some people just generally show off their makeup because it's gorge. But just know that if you are a beginner at pien makeup, you will NOT get it right the first time and it takes a ton of practice. Don't get discouraged!

Info below, long post!

EYES

EYELASHES

If you have dark and thick lashes and want to make them have the manhwa lash effect, use mascara and then use tweezers to clump them together while they're still wet. It gives the illusion that your eyelashes are thick and separated.

As for bottom lashes: no one in real life or online will notice your bottom lashes unless they're a nitpicking jerk. (Also read my related tip for bottom lashes in the "eye shape" section). Most jirais draw lashes along their bottom eyeliner to give the appearance of eyelashes. Here's a tutorial that found my Instagram feed.

EYE SHAPE

There is—in my opinion—no wrong way to do jirai makeup... aside from a few details. Exaggerated eyes (mainly pien, but we'll get into it) is a core feature of jirai kei makeup and their main identifying feature; similar to gyaru, a huge basis of the style is your makeup and you wouldn't be identifiable as a jirai without the makeup. (That being said, if you identify as a jirai, you ARE jirai. Makeup isn't necessary to prove anything to other people!) There are plenty of tutorials around for pien makeup—and tbh, as someone who did gyaru before, the makeup process and tips for jirai and gyaru makeups are pretty similar. There are MANY ways to do your makeup as long as it identifies as adequately "jirai".

If you were previously gyaru, the eye shape should feel very familiar!!! The only main difference between the gyaru droop and pien makeup is that jirais tend to droop their makeup down to give the illusion of a sad expression, whereas gyarus tend to draw out and exaggerate their eye shape to make their eyes look bigger. It sounds the same if you think about it on the surface level, but they are incredibly different in intention, motive, and practice.

For those practicing with the droop, squint your eyes and draw the droop in the outer part of your eyebags, then connect it inward to the inner part of your eyes and the outer part of your droop/top eyeliner. (It's hard to explain without imagery, I'm sorry! But this is how I prefer doing my droop.)

If you aren't comfortable going full-in with eyeliner, use eyeshadow to plot out where the eyeliner is going to go and use your favorite eyeliner to trace over it!

It is incredibly tempting to look closely at one eye and tilt your head accordingly, however looking straight-on could make your eyes look strange. This is just a general makeup perspective tip, because I've noticed that i look really strange at times, even when taking photos. >_>

Experiment with shades of pink, red, and brown—especially if you have darker skin tones. Softer pink tones don't look good on me though they'd look good on lighter-skinned people (as most jirais online, and makeup tutorials for, are generally lighter-skinned), whereas vibrant reds do, and therefore I use that to do my makeup (I have a medium skin tone with neutral undertones, currently incredibly pale though from lack of sun exposure. Pink, although a close color to red, looks horrible on my face). here's makeup i like

Additional tip for bottom lashes: If you're worried about the awkward space between your waterline and your eyeliner, you can fill in the spot between your eyes and your eyeliner with eyeshadow to cover it up—or you can leave that space completely blank without makeup. Genuinely most people don't pay attention to that part of the makeup. Additional additional tip: Similar to gyaru, whatever you do, do not put white in the droop. it looks weird and cartoonish and makes that area of your face stand out more than the pien

I WANT TO DO JIRAI MAKEUP, BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO THE DROOP FOR PERSONAL REASONS (ISN'T WORK-APPROPRIATE, WOULD ATTRACT UNWANTED ATTENTION AT SCHOOL, SIMPLY NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT, ETC.)

That's completely okay! some jirais also just draw their eye shape straight from the center of their waterline out to where their top eyeliner droops, without any further droop or exaggeration, so it just looks like their eyes extend slightly in a doll eyes-esque look. here is an example and here is a tutorial

here's also a non-droop tutorial with an emphasis on exaggerated eyes still, similar to gyaru.

Also, while the general style of "dolly eyes" isn't really that similar to jirai, i really think this tutorial is helpful for more daily and presentable jirai looks that aren't attention-grabbing and could make you feel more comfortable with the style before experimenting heavily.

I AM A DARKER-SKINNED PERSON AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING TUTORIALS AND IMAGES WITH PEOPLE WITH MY SKIN TONE

(please note i do not use tiktok and actively consume it for jirai content so if there are any videos i should include on this list please let me know. it is incredibly unfortunate that there aren't more darker-skinned jirais being highlighted in the community!)

tiktok videos, with droop: mirariiin mori_re

tutorials:

TL;DR: THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THIS PART OF THE MAKEUP, PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE

AEGYOSAL

Squint your eyes to find your eyebags. Most people draw their aegyosal right on the place where their eyebag protrudes the most, right above the "shadow" of their eyebag—but i'm a big advocate of finding what you think looks good to you!

Glitter on the inner corner of your eyes and on the middle of your aegyosal is a huge game changer for how your eyes appear! It makes your eyes appear shimmery and gives the illusion of freshly-crying, which is kind of what the pien makeup is about anyway.

EYEBROWS

If you've shaved your eyebrows: Again, I'm a huge advocate of figuring out what style of anything look good on your face. Most jirais have them straight or tilted to give a sad expression, and (similar to other j-fashion styles like gyaru or lolita) have light brows.

If you don't want to shave your eyebrows but want to make your own eyebrows: Drag queens glue down their eyebrows until they're flat on their forehead and then put foundation and powder over it before going to do their eyebrows. Do that!

As mentioned before, you can lighten your own eyebrows if you want a "softer" look to your face. Gyarus and lolitas tend to lighten their brows and it's not any different for jirai–BUT, keep in mind most jirai are shaving their brows/making their own eyebrows, or maybe even editing them in.

BLUSH

Blush is a small factor in the look of the jirai. Most jirais I've seen put it on the apple of their cheeks, similar to hime gyaru; you can search this up, but it's the widest part of your face when facing front, underneath your eye(bag)s.

LIPSTICK

Admittedly, I don't have a lot of experience in the lipstick department so I can't give a lot of advice on this. I generally think that lipstick is less of an important factor for this substyle and leave this alone. Again, as long as you have the appropriate eye makeup, you are easily recognizable as a jirai. Anyway you want to do your lipstick is fine, though I've noticed some jirais match their lipstick color to the color of their eye makeup.

And also, reiterating the most important tip of all: Most jirais online are editing their photos and/or using beautifying filters!

Find what you like from others, and/or figure what works best for you and do it. Makeup is an art and an expression for us jirais. And if you don't do makeup, that's fine too! If you're jirai, I and anyone else can't take that away from you.
