New Marshall Merchandise #57... or #32... or #29, I've Lost Count!

You know, I started posting these updates a few years ago, back when many of my followers were curious about anything I added to my collection. Some of them have gone quiet, possibly moved on or lost interest in PAW Patrol. I'm not sure if my current followers have any interest in these updates. At this point, I just post about these now because I enjoy showing off new items of my favorite character. 😇

And new items, I indeed have! Many of these I've collected over the last month or two, as finding new items hasn't exactly been too easy lately. Most major stores are still selling Jungle Pups and Mighty Movie toys, so hopefully anything new will pop up soon enough. Despite that, I have managed to find a few interesting things!

I first found out about this little figurine when it popped up on Ebay, but nobody would sell it without the other pups (Chase, Skye and Rubble... sadly, no Rocky or Zuma). Someone on Twitter told me they seen some at a Dollar Tree, so of course, I tried checking all the stores I have near me. It took a while, but one finally got some in! Best of all, it's only $1.25, so that's cool!

Hey, you know what else is cool?

Accidentally finding another piece of merchandise I didn't expect to see! I'd actually seen one of these on Ebay earlier the same day, but I thought it was a part of some set. Much to my surprise, Dollar Tree also had it, and also for $1.25. It's not the most impressive of the bath squirters I own, but I'm still happy to add it to my collection!

Ha, look at the label! Chase, Marshall, Skye... and Zuma! Well, it makes sense, given he's the water pup, but I still didn't expect that. Nice to see him on a label for once. :)

I'd actually seen pictures of these online a few times over the years, although they were typically branded as Christmas candy. I never could find any at the stores near me, but then a friend said she seen some at Walgreens. I searched around and finally found one... the last one they had left, in fact! Score! And yeah, I likely won't eat it... it'll sit in my collection along with that other Easter candy I got. lol

...huh, I just noticed it's cracked around the neck. I don't think it was like that when I bought it. Guess I somehow did that. Oops... but it still looks cool, right? Maybe I can find one to replace it when they show up again next year... if they show up again next year. 😅

I seen this at a garage sale for $1. How could I say no? Besides, just look at Marshall on this thing! Too cute, as always! 🥰

Actually, this was yet another lucky find, since I've seen these on Ebay for like $10 (with $5 shipping or so). The fact it's practically in perfect condition is also quite awesome. Living in a small town has it perks!

Last, and it's the priciest item today. I seen this while helping my folks with their shopping at Walmart. They had a few, but they were all Marshall. I wasn't going to get one at first, due to just how big it is, but my mother knows I collect practically anything of Marshall, so she bought it for me. Indeed, I'm already having trouble finding a spot for it, but no doubt I will... eventually... along with the other items on my table. Remember my last few updates? Yeah... most of those items are still sitting there, too. I'm running out of room! lol

That's all for now! I actually do have a few more items coming in the mail, so I'll have a few more things to show off soon enough... Valentines plush dolls, in fact. Ones I expected my local Walmart to get, but they never did. Otherwise, a friend of mine in the UK has offered to send me something I believe is only being sold in her country, so I'll get to add another imported item to my collection soon! I always love doing that, so I'm looking forward to getting it!

As for the Rescue Wheels toys, I've no idea when they'll show up. Maybe in June? July? Whenever the USA finally puts the episodes on their schedule. Now that I think about it, they'll probably be the last toys based on the original designs, huh? All future merch will likely use the new style. We better enjoy it while it lasts, I suppose.

little shifting vent

being a shifter is hard. i know, duh. i’m currently on a shifting break. no affirmations, no meditating, no reality checks for lucid dreams. however, shifting is still in my brain. i am also on shifttok so i am constantly getting fed different tips and advice. i learn more and more about it every day and every new piece of advice makes me think “that’s probably the key for me! i have to try it!” but of course i can’t tell what will work for me and what won’t. of course the moment you give up or stop caring is when a lot of people seemingly make it to their dr. you can do the bare minimum and shift. it’s just frustrating when you don’t know what your specific key to shifting is. i think mine is thinking in the past tense: “i have shifted several times” “i have shifted” and writing about experiences i have had in my dr without being there yet. but again, i don’t know. and i see my ‘comfort character’ (cause he’s not really a character) all the time (by choice cause i’m in-love with him) and sometimes i think “i’ll be with you soon🥰” and other times i just want to put my hand through the screen and hug him or touch his face. and i’m not just shifting for him, but he’s a big part of my shifting motivations. now there are people in long distance relationships. i’ve been in one before and god i WISH this was that kind of situation. it’s so simple to see him but it’s not easy. it hurts so bad sometimes to the point where i’m uncontrollably sobbing. i have woken up in my cr and cried because i didn’t shift. i see ship edits of my person with another character and they genuinely break my heart sometimes. i look at my hands and i wish i could use the powers i have in my drs. i’m not attached to any reality; i know that. i will shift soon, and it may literally take the bare minimum or happen by accident. i guess what im saying is i miss my person and my home that i haven’t been to yet, and i hope you guys can relate. i know someone can. and i’m here for you, my fellow shifters. we got this. i love you.

Omg Kleo🫣 Hi. I hope you are doing well these days! I was literally waiting for the BHS reading to drop soon cause i just..KNEW...mine was coming up soon and baam you dropped it!

First I was so surprised you read for the game as me domming all of them, it was very nice, i was worried if it would come off well or not. Cause I am currently doing a lot of new stuffs and learning about myself a lot- reading your post just gave me a whole new boost! It was very fun and encouraging!

I want to ask who is your favourite reading of them 3 from the BHS you did for me If it's alright? Ha joon's was so good it had me acting up and giggling🤣 Chang wook's was playfully naughty and Seo's was surprisingly comforting(does it make sense?)??

(P.S) My birthday is coming up in a few days so when I saw "Once you have your guy tied up and wrapped like a birthday present" in the reading! 👀 Lemme tell you, I was absolutely taken aback cause the delusion was definitely delusioning lol🥺 Thankyousm for the Bday present reading💓

Thankyou for reading for me! I really love your blog cause it's different and the games are so exciting 🥰

Hello!

Yes, I'm pretty alright. The weather is unpleasant but other than that it's okay. 😊

I'm happy you liked being in a dom position even if only in theory. It's always nice to at least imagine something else. 😁 I'm glad you feel boosted and encouraged. 😂 Keep on exploring! 😉

My favourite was probably Wi Ha Joon. His reading was the most fun one for me. I actually enjoyed them all but Wi Ha Joon is #1. 😂

And it does make sense that Seo Joon's reading is comforting. While I have no practical experience, I strongly believe that physical connection, even more freaky one, can, with the right person, be healing and comforting experience, just like emotional or spiritual connection. 😊

Trust me, if I could actually wrap Wi Ha Joon and ship him to you for your b-day, I would do it. But I really can't do all the legal paperwork 😂 Joking... I don't kidnap people. 😁

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will deliver more exciting games in future.

(I actually had one very exciting game up my sleeve but my friend suggested it might a bit toooooo exciting so I'm going to tone it down a bit before posting. 🤭)

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thanks for the tag, @loneamaryllis

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

12!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

874,060 - When did that get so much??? I've only picked writing back up in January!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently mainly Harry Potter and I have one Rings of Power fanfic on hiatus (for now). I used to write for all sorts of fandoms though! Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hobbit, Percy Jackson, Marvel, Vampire Diaries, Naruto - to name a few.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

"Your tears are of no relevance to me", my dark Snape/reader fic

2. Cigarette smoke, Profanities and Stolen Kisses, Snape/reader smut

3. A Servant of Death, my Snape/OC longfic, my baby, my beloved

4. Carrying Atlas, Deeply traumatised, sarcastic Snape/broken Harrie ddlg/pet play fic with much hurt and even more comfort

5. Stood-up, my three-part Snape/former student!reader oneshot/mini-fic

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to reply to each one! I love to hear what people think and interact with readers!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't actually have that many fics finished 😅

I love long fics, I love reading them and I love writing them so most of my works are still ongoing (and seem to be staying ongoing for a while to come 😅)

I'd say Petrichor. It's a Voldemort-wins AU so things are bound to look hopeless and dark.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Severus and his Sunshine!!!! A very fluffy, hopful ending 🥰

8. Do you get hate on fics?

After initially posting A Servant of Death II quite a few readers were angry the story would not be moving into a direction they wanted. Haven't gotten any since.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes 😃

I write Dom/sub mostly! Proper D/s (apart from my dark!fics) with safewords and boundaries and aftercare! I love including kink-wear and collars and other fun toys! All sorts of kinks, lighter and a few darker, more taboo kinks. Lots of bondage!!

Also dub-con and dark smut and I'm venturing into poly and threesome territory lately.

Basically anything I find interesting or worth exploring!

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No. I had a rather ambitious crossover idea when I was a teen about a group of people chosen by the gods I had created to protect the universes of the world with every book/show/movie in existance being a universe that had been locked away by some evil supernatural beings. Each of the four people in the group could travel between the universes and had to fix the timelines if things went wrong. Basically all the misery happening in the stories was the supernatural beings messing with the universes. I wrote the first part that played in The Hobbit and started the second part that would take place in Naruto but I never continued the project.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of but I do know that after I published my first HP fic on Wattpad back when I was...uff idk 13?? suddenly everybody in the german marauders fandom was writing Voldemort's daughter fics. I thought that was interesting since I wrote mine because I couldn't find any Voldemort's child fics in german (my english was shit at the time, I'm sure otherwise I would have found plenty to read! 😂)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! But someone once made a podfic of my Adventcalender one-shot collection (with my permission). I don't think it's still online though. (god I hope not, those were terrible 😬)

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No and I don't think I ever will. My mind is a strange and cluttered space and teamwork has never been a strong suit. I've been asked though, but that was more of a 'I have x-idea, will you write it for me?' then an actual inquiry.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Ummmmm....OCs. Everybody/OC. I love OC's. I love reading them, creating them, I love that I can have a person whose weaknesses and strength and personality fit my fav characters perfectly, especially since my fav characters tend to be unsocial loners with terrible trauma.

Apart from that I'm not much of a shipper...Snarriet probaly (thanks to @loneamaryllis - you know what you did 😑, jokes aside I've been thoroughly enjoying this ship and the community is so sweet!)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I sure hope I'll finish them all! Strawberries and Sin is being neglected right now 😅 but I love the characters and I'm certainly not planing on abandoning the story!

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think I'm good at worldbuilding, I certainly enjoy expanding existing universes with my own ideas! Whether it's by adding an entire Vampire monarchy including an origin story of how vampires came to exist or World Duelling Championships for my heir of a rich pureblood family to power herself out at.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I never know if I describe things enough, surroundings, emotions, etc. I think I tend to fixate on what a character is doing with their hands 😂

Also I can get lost in developing the relationship between two characters and forget to advance the plot just to then focus on the plot and neglect the characters 😅 still trying to find a balance there.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Been there, done that! I think it can be fun.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Written? Naruto! I was nine I think and I had no idea that fanfiction even exists or that other people were writing them! I just wrote down a truly terrible story on an old notepad I had.

The first fandom I created stories for in my mind was Harry Potter at around nine!

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

A fic that is currently not on the internet anymore that I want to rework and publish once I've worked through some WIPs. It's about Snape and his best friend from an opressed people who both ended up joining Voldemort for good intentions and end up in his bed (two Death Eaters eagerly serving their new master 😏) but quickly realise he is not what he promised to be.

From my published fics it's a draw between A Servant of Death and 'Your tears are of no relevance to me'!

Tagging anyone who wants to do it 🫶🏻💖

Bot you being like "OP where are you seeing it happen where everyone is turning media into just characters and quipped fanfics? Must be TukTok" when you're literally that person 😭😭😭

Ahhh thank you for this friend! I am endlessly entertained by stupid people and i really needed a little break from work, you have impeccable timing ❣🥰

to address the substance - as there may exist any - in your ask though: do you need an eye exam? a new pair of glasses might do wonders, not only for your ability to spell correctly, but also so that you would not miss the approximately 20 meta posts I made in the past month, exploring the themes and narrative choices of the current show I am obssessed with, without any mention of ships?

or are you morally opposed to character analysis itself, where we, you know, explore what makes a character tick and why they might be written the way they were, as one also commonly does in english lit classes? or do you have a fit and lose all ability to comprehend any other discussion a person might engage in if they - heaven forbid - commit the fatal flaw of occasionally writing fic or talking about ships? (perhaps a quick peek at the dictionary for the meaning of the word "just" would help?)

are you by any chance the op of the post i reblogged which would confirm a long held suspicion of mine regarding people who make posts like that and would be just delicious for me personally?

#i love you anon let's get married

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better!

I always get nervous about tagging people cause I always feel like I’ll bother them, but if I had to pick some people I’ll go ahead and tag @secluded-delusions @up-sideand-down @thatrandomartistyoufound and @kazeshxni I know it’s not 9 but still 😅 And no pressure to participate guys! Also thank you for the tags @prismaticpichu and @aerislei !!

Three Ships:

Cloud/Zack - FFVII: I remember when I first started shipping this about 10 or so odd years ago, even still have the first art I ever drew of the ship lol! But I’ve loved it for such a long time, there was just something about two best friends through thick and thin, with their cute little x arm handshake thing, Zack inviting Cloud to lunch (even though Cloud is currently suffering from motion sickness lmao bad timing there Zack XD) and that he cared for Cloud for like 4 fucking years in his comatose state, he never left him behind, literally died for him when he could have just abandoned him, but he didn’t. And of course in Advent Children when Zack shows up and asks if he needs a hand with Sephiroth, reminds him what he is. I love it so much 💚 It will always be my favorite ship of all time 💗

Zagreus/Thanatos - Hades: I love their dynamic. Like, they used to be close before Zagreus started his attempts to leave the underworld, but then when he started, a distance grew between them. And the first time you encounter him in the game you can tell there’s some animosity between them ‘no escaping from death?’ ‘I left when I had to’ ‘If you won’t say it then I will - goodbye Zagreus’ and then the more you encounter him and gift him ambrosia the closer you become again, mending that once broken trust and friendship, eventually ending up together. ‘I’m right here, aren’t I?’ I love it 🥰

Galo/Lio - Promare: Literally Happy goofy sunshine boy meets grumpy grump boy. Their relationship begins so rocky, as enemies; firefighter against burnish. And the more that time passes, Galo realizes the Burnish don’t burn for no reason, that they are humans just like them, and how could he not realize the truth of what’s happening. Eventually needing to work together to save the earth they call their home. Galo even bringing Lio back to life when he’s about to crumble to ash. I loved their dynamic a ton and how their personalities clashed before they found a way to get along and work together. It’s very good!

First Ship: Inuyasha and Kagome - Inuyasha. I started shipping these 2 when I was 11 after my brother get me into the series, starting with the Castle in the Looking Glass movie. Then I went and watched all the anime and read a ton of the manga books. It’s the earliest ship I can remember, and one of the first fanfics I ever wrote 😆

Last Song: Everglow by Starset (I really really love this band and I’ve been on a Starset kick for months now)

Last Movie: uhhh... shit I’m trying to remember the last movie I watched 😂 I think it was Free Guy

Currently Reading: I have not been reading much actually, aside from some fanfics which the last one I read was one of mine before bed 😂

Currently watching: Sonic Prime. Just started watching it last night and it has a very interesting premise! I love how Tails has 9 tails and goes by 9, I thought that was really cool ngl 😊

Currently consuming: Does Vicks Cough and Congestion medicine count? That’s the last thing I downed 😆 (Yeah, still sick as hell 👍)

Currently craving: Nothing in terms of food, I have 0 appetite 😭 I am craving no longer being sick and playing Crisis Core again! 😆 I’ve been ill since Wednesday like plzzz XD

It’s been a while since my last post about shows and movies I’ve watched (wish I could link the post but tumblr hates me), and since then there have been quite a few more:

Finished:

Slow Horses season 2: enjoyed it; more action-packed and faster paced than season 1 but it’s also more of the Gary Oldman Show than before; hated a certain character‘s death :(

White Lotus season 2: Yep, after not even finishing a single episode of season 1, I just skipped to the second season and really liked it. Not as sensational as social media made it seem but still a nice portrayal of messed up people caught in their own misery 🥰

L‘Opera season 1: I don’t know if this is the show’s original title, watched it via the streaming site of a German broadcaster. Brilliant show about ballet at the Paris Opera; an aging principal dancer gets kicked out of her contract and the season covers how she fights to get back in. It also deals with racism in the ballet world through the eyes of a young black dancer who tries to get into the company.

Thai Cave Rescue: I didn’t watch the Amazon movie about the same event because it seems to be focused on the white rescuers instead of the Thai boys trapped in the cave? Liked it but yeah, this could have been a movie instead of a limited series 👀

The Bastard Son & and the Devil Himself: Netflix did its damn best not to promote this show and of course, it’s been cancelled since. Quite a lot of gore for my taste but it was still amazing. Would definitely recommend, despite there only being one season :(

1899: also cancelled, thanks for nothing, netflix 🙄 While I enjoyed the show, I do think that the ship setting is what kept this from being as great as Dark. Should have continued though of course since season 1 was basically entirely a set up for future seasons.

Young Royals season 2: have already posted about this one of course. I hope season 3 returns focus to the show’s main couple. It’s a shame that the two characters of color (of the main cast) were reduced to supporting characters this time.

(Christmas) Movies:

Scrooge: musical version of the old story; really good songs; watched it with my youngest students who loved it but thought there were too many songs 😁

Your Christmas or Mine: omg what a disappointment. I excepted a charming comedy with weird but lovable British characters. All I got was boredom and bad acting.

Tried but gave up:

Wednesday: no comment (for my own safety)

Treason: started watching this for my man Charlie Cox, but wow this is bad. It tries to be like other British shows about MI6 (5? I don’t know) and fails.

The Crown season 5: extremely boring, uninspired acting, and let’s face it, that family is truly FUBAR and should be ignored 98% of the time, especially now.

Currently watching:

Happy Valley season 3: can’t believe it’s back after 8 years 😭 episode 1 was brilliant, can’t wait for the rest.

Mosquito Coast season 2: just one episode left and I’ve liked this one a lot more than season 1, which was basically hours and hours of Justin Theroux checking himself out. Wise choice to focus on the son‘s trauma after what he had done at the end of season 1, but I’m constantly distracted by how much that young actor looks like Ansel Elgort 😳

Kaleidoscope: episode yellow is the first one for me but I had to stop it halfway through the other day and haven’t continued yet.

Almost Fly: very sweet German series about three boys in 1990 who want to become rappers.

#i swear I do other things too from time to time #tv

Hello! I’m Alister and below the cut you can find my about me/intro post for the SP Olympics event :)

For starters, my favorite ship is of course Gregstophe aka Gregory/Christophe from the movie. I’ve got various metas and fics about them if you’re looking for characterization inspiration (or scenes for drawing inspiration 👀 my gregstophe tsot fic is my current passion project). You can find all the important stuff in my pinned post. I love them both individually as well, though I do slightly favor Christophe 😅. I’ve also got more ships with him that I enjoy, namely Damstophe (Damien/Christophe), Kenstophe (Kenny/Christophe), and Tophlovski (Christophe/Kyle)

My second favorite ship is by far Style! I love most anything with them, but particularly fond of their Stick of Truth sonas. I’m just very drawn to the concept of regal elf king Kyle in love with his noble and faithful human knight Stan (who is definitely in love with him too)… it’s a very good concept to me. I also really like very regular AUs with them, just like high school or college or domestic stuff. The one thing I will say is that I’m not really a fan of the bleached hair Stan design but otherwise go nuts!

I have a fun AU I adore that I tag as “Kendy vs the World” but usually just call it my “kendy scott pilgrim au”. As you can probably guess, it’s a Scott Pilgrim AU with Kenny as the titular Scott Pilgrim and Wendy as Ramona Flowers. Other roles include Marjorine as Knives, Henrietta, Thomas, and Clyde as Kim, Stephan, and Young Neil respectively, Kyle as Envy Adams, and Christophe as Wallace Wells. Wendy’s (Ramona’s) exes are Tolkien (Matthew Patel), Gregory (Lucas Lee), Stan (Todd Ingram), Bebe (Roxy Richter), Kevin McCormick and Kevin Stoley (Ken and Kyle Katayanagi), and lastly Cartman (Gideon Graves). It’s mostly based off the movie because I’ve seen that and I’ve only read a few of the graphic novels.

I have a few children of ships I ship that you can find if you search the tag “sp next gen” on my blog! You’re welcome to ask me more about them if you like (I have a google doc of lore) but honestly just seeing those scamps doing whatever (either with each other or their parents) would make my day 🥰

Favorite characters (besides any in previous mentioned ships I like) are Damien, Kenny, Red, Bebe, and Craig. For Craig in particular I really like Youth Pastor Craig… I’m a sucker for religious imagery! Him with Imp Tweek or Angel Kenny makes me feral every time.

I’ve got a lot of rather rarepairs that I love and always love to see! You can ask for others if you’d like but off the top of my head I think my favorites are Dyde (Damien/Clyde), Rola (Red/Lola), and Lanskov (Corey Lanskin/Davey Solokov). They may not make much sense to you but I like them lots :3

If you’re still not sure what exactly I’d be into or wanna hear more headcanons/preferences of mine, I am absolutely open to chatting or being sent anons! I love talking about pretty much anything ever

In the end, I’ll probably be happy if people do anything for me at all, so don’t stress too hard about it! I’m very excited to participate in this cool event 😎

#sp olympics #hype for the event!! i know it’s still a month away BUT

Hello! I have a ship request :)

I have short dark brown hair and brown eyes. I am 5'6. I am also ftm and gay.

I am currently learning German and Ukrainian. I play the cello (I would say that I'm pretty decent at it). I want to join the paratroopers soon and maybe get a doctorate degree in the medical field. I like writing books, reading, and drawing. I am very interested in history mainly the 20th century. I also know how to cross-country ski and love the winter.

My MBTI type if I remember correctly is INTJ. I love procrastinating and do well under a lot of pressure. I'm also very stubborn and awkward with talking to people so I don't have many close friends. For some reason, I have a sort of knack for doing things well, even if it's the first time I've tried it and that might be because I listen really closely to stuff to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. I need a straightforward path and a list of things I should do to get something done.

I have depression, anxiety and maybe (I say maybe because it's undiagnosed) maladaptive daydreaming, which basically means I daydream too much that it's a problem. Any small words of affection or reassurance sends me through the roof and makes me happy for the rest of the day (idk why). I also get angry very quickly and forget things quickly.

I am converting to Judaism so that’s cool. My sense of clothing style is just me pretending I’m in the military, pleather jackets, heavy jackets that are either camo or dark green, aviator sunglasses, a lot of neutral colours, fancy dress shirts/blouses, combat boots (which I currently do not own so just tennis shoes or winter boots), I have a few BoB pins which I have created on my own :) I like wearing t-shirts in winter under my jacket just because. The t-shirts usually have designs like aeroplanes, space, and museum shirts. I also have a collection of shirts from places I’ve never been cause I think it’s hilarious.

I keep a lot of stuff in my pockets “just in case”. I impulse buy, which is a big insecurity of mine. People intimidate me easily so I usually wait to get approached to start a conversation. I like watching adventure shows like extinct or alive or expedition unknown.

I would say that I have a very dark sense of humour and am almost always sarcastic when talking to my friends (also I love irony). I have an interesting music taste, most any song I listen to goes onto my liked songs on Spotify heh. I sometimes slip into a British accent or one that isn’t mine at all.

Take all the time you need to get to this and have a good day :)

Hello dear Anon! Thank you so much for your patience 🥰 this semester has been busy and I really appreciate it!

I ship you with . . .

Skip Muck!

Listen! It's the ✨vibes✨

He's a fun guy! You sound like a fun guy! I just think the whole relationship would be super fun 🤭

You meet in the paratrooper program, for sure

The second that he approaches you, you would just know that the connection between you is something special

Your darker sense of humor with his lighter one would just balance each other out so nicely. Like, you're both having fun and cracking jokes, but they're on completely different ends of the spectrum, which makes it interesting and keeps you guys on your toes

Skip is a very adventurous person, and because you're into so many different things, I feel like every day would be an adventure with you two. Even if you just want to stay at home and read some history books, he would enjoy just spending time with you

Speaking of ✨vibes✨, as someone with ADHD, I feel like Skip probably has it too? (Just me? Okay lol) So since it's hard for him to get past steps in certain tasks, it works really well because you remember details so well. He is so efficient with you around to help him plan things out

For as much as he likes to joke around, he can also be serious. He's a words of affirmation dude, for sure, so when he casually tells you that he loves you or cares about you, you can be sure that he's being genuine 💖

Skip would think that your fashion sense is so cool! Catch him out here stealing your jackets and cool t-shirts (And he'd be cool with it if you wanted to steal his clothes, too)

Since you keep so many things in your pockets, I feel like he would make it a running joke between you two. Waiting until you're out with friends and then asking you for something insanely specific. The rest of Easy is like "there's no way - Oh! Okay, never mind. Wait, how did you fit that in your pocket?"

The laughs you two get out of it would never get old

Thank you for the request, Anon! I hope you like this 💕🕊️

⋆ ✰ ⋆ ─── I just believe that moments are special, and meant to be celebrated. And I've had so many of those with @batteredoptimist that I don't want to lose the physical copies of in my blog move. So this is an appreciation post of milestones and Nonny-joy that my best friend has given me in our time together, copied from the old blog starting in June of 2022.

𝟐𝟏 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

One year ago today, @batteredoptimist and I started our little server that's no longer so little. As of this morning, in one year we've written (excluding things we've written each other on tumblr) 1,716,129 words (3717 pages) and have over 200 channels on our server. It all began with Mr. Westley 'Lemons now pls' McCarthy being unable to keep it in his pants and dragging Nonny and I into a whole entire server so he could (redacted) ehm...with Muriel. Thus...lemon loaf day was born. 200+ channels later, here we are, happily. They say that time flies when you're having fun and I could not ask for a better human to have in my life, or a better partner-in-crime and writing than Nonny. And yes, I am absolutely baking a lemon loaf right now to celebrate Nonny, and their characters, and mine as well. And to give Westley his lemons...because he's not the only one who can be a little shit. Here's to all of the writing we'll do in the year ahead, I absolutely cannot wait. May we always have this & may it never end. ♡ 🍋 Happy Lemon Loaf Day. ♡

𝟐𝟎 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

happiest of birthdays to our darling james pollard ♡ thank you for giving francis the soulmate he's been dreaming about since he first learned to read; thank you for giving westley safe harbor for his heart. thank you for you and the lessons that you embody — kindness, goodness, humility. thank you for your story, and also on my behalf — thank you for introducing me to your mun (@batteredoptimist), who is single-handedly the best person i know. ♡ may your stories continue to grow. we are so, so honored to have been a part of them. we love you ♡, francis, westley & orion (& marin and luci, who haven't met you yet, but love you all the same.)

𝟏𝟗 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

A heartfelt shoutout to @batteredoptimist who sneaked me not only a drawing in the wee hours, but a box full of the most lovely Francisy things — a heat pillow that smells of lavender, banned book socks and little scented macaron soaps. He loved them so much. Thank you for being my favorite, Nonny, and for indulging me in this silly little thing that brings me joy in such a big way. I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life, but I am so so grateful and thankful for your kindness and presence. Also, thank you for his biggest gifts of all — your boys, who he loves and cherishes with all of his sappy little heart. You and they have made his existence so much more beautiful and meaningful than I think you realize. Thank you. ♡♡

𝐄𝐍𝐃-𝐎𝐅-𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒

sometime in the middle of the year, i moved all of mine and @batteredoptimist's writing over to a series of documents out of sheer morbid curiosity to learn how much we'd written since january of this year. it only keeps growing:

Current Page Count: 3,682 Current Word Count: 1,693,612 Novel Count (at 80k): 21

i am full of joy and honor to have found such a truly wonderful human to have in my life and to share the happiness of writing with. i am ecstatic to see what the next year holds. who knows, maybe we'll finally turn something into a novel. 🥰 nonny, i think we've outwritten stephen king.

𝟐𝟒 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

the obnoxious habit of sending @batteredoptimist asks from literally all of our ships every time they post a meme despite the fact that we write together every day. 😂♡

𝟐𝟏 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

me telling @batteredoptimist that they're the only one exempt from that poll because like a year ago i made poor james choose between francis and westley and francis and westley STILL hate each other over it.

𝟎𝟑 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐘 — you are my partner in crime and in writing. i don’t know if anything i can say could ever encompass the joy that accompanies the knowledge that you exist in the world and have for whatever reason decided that you’re glad that i do, too. i make jokes about how the universe gave us the wrong moments — times and places and the like — but mostly, i’m just so incredibly glad that i’ve gotten to be a part of your life, that we’re friends, and that we’ve had the joy and honor of creating these stories together. so, here, let me try and put a few things into words.

THANK YOU — for sharing your characters with me, for sharing your ideas with me, for sharing your art with me; but mostly for letting me close enough to know you as well as i do. thank you for james, and for muriel — for giving francis and westley their loves. thank you for the — oh god, how many have we made up now — other characters that have filled the thousands and thousands of pages that we’ve spent this year writing together? thank you for inspiring me, and for inspiring some of the best things i’ve ever written.

thank you for being persistent with me, thank you for caring about me, thank you for helping me through one of the worst bouts of mental health in the history of the earth and sticking around as i try to pick up the pieces and move into the new ‘after’ chapters. :) thank you for showing me what it means for someone to stay. thank you for a million tiny and personal things that i won’t post here to tumblr because they’re not mine to share. thank you for everything you’ve ever done to make my life better — all 365+ days that we’ve been talking, and talking, and talking.

i am so grateful for you that my heart is fit to burst just sitting here writing about it. i’m getting emotional and i’m not as pretty as francis when i cry, so i’m going to try not to do that. :’) what can i say that’s going to make you flail a bit in return, hm? oh god, let’s just admit that i pick favorites on this hellsite like everyone does and james and muriel are that for me. i’ve adored writing with james from the very first — before i’d even gotten rid of my tumblr sea-leg wobble. there’s always been something so special about him, and his story that’s drawn me in. i know how his story goes, now. and i feel honored to see it told the way i have (hopefully you know what i mean because i don’t want to give away your secrets). to be so close to him, i suppose. thank you also for bringing muriel around for our westley. i just know the world’s gonna love him (westley says that we loved him first and most ♡ — don’t mind him, we’re working on it. at least he’s including francis in ‘we’ now, baby steps.)

your worldbuilding is in a class all of its own. without you and that brilliant brain of yours, we wouldn’t have come up with half the stories we have. you’re able to take something and flesh it out in a way that’s very visual and artistic — which i suppose is fitting, all things considered. i love the way you tell stories. i love creating them WITH you, but i also love just sitting back and LISTENING to you talk about any and every aspect of them — whether it’s ours or yours. and on that note, i do believe that one day i’ll be the first person standing in line waiting for my autographed copy of your books. they will have to escort me out because i will be crying and shouting with pride that that’s my favorite human, my best friend, my partner in crime, and i always knew that they could and would do it. i believe in you and james and the story you share with all of my heart, and i want to be beside you every step of the way as you need in supporting your dreams (and all of the other things, too.)

this is getting so long and i’m not nearly done. so i’ll make myself stop for now? and just find every excuse in the world to keep going, because you deserve more good than i can give. but i will always try. i will always, always try.

𝟎𝟏 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

i’m going through one of my old blogs and stumbled across this gem of a piece of writing to @batteredoptimist before we were super close —

He supposed now that they were no longer strangers, but Francis and James. And so, most quests in his beloved novel started thus: a name, and an unusual circumstance. He wonders what adventures may await them.

so many adventures, my darling lad. so, so many. i’m so grateful for nonny’s presence in my life, as is francis for james’s in his. my heart is just so full tonight. ♡

𝟐𝟒 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

i don’t know if i’m ready for my spotify wrapped to call me and @batteredoptimist out for what i listened to while we wrote (so far) 3095 pages (1.4 million words, 18 novels worth of writing omg) this year. :’) ♡ what do you think your top song for the year is? i’m 80% sure that mine is shallow by lady gaga in some variation because reasons.

𝟐𝟖 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

when it’s midnight, you’ve taken your nighttime meds and you are still awake chastising your loveble pain in the ass character WITH HIS FULL NAME for harrassing your best friend / person — and your character’s response to you is ‘say that ten times fast’. his full name for the record taking all verses into consideration: westley colin johnnes henrik van der sterren/gunderson/mccarthy/pollard/bernardi.that little shit. why do i love him so much?

𝟐𝟏 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

well, that’s it fam, @batteredoptimist has destroyed me (and francis) in the best way.

one day you’ll read about it in our book (i hope) ♡

𝟏𝟖 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

committment : when your best friend / person / co-author ( @batteredoptimist ) manages to keep a story plot from you since early summer and still hasn’t told you what it is and your wee innocent golden haired angel baby (see also: francis) is giving you the eyes.

𝟐𝟑 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

so, for those of you who don’t know — i started on this hellsite in like may of 2019 as someone who’d been roleplaying for a long time but never with multiple partners. i had no idea what i was doing, and @smokedanced was pretty much helping me along making sure i didn’t fall on my face. my first blog was a bit of a disaster, and as someone who’d only ever had one rp partner at a time, i was very anxious and very picky about who i let in my space. as such, there are very few of you around from those early days but i see you ♡. when i found nonny’s blog, i remember making the biggest heart eyes at this incredible worldbuilding — and at the story and way nonny had built james. i remember saying to havu ‘ooh, look at this blog’ (again, with THE BIGGEST heart eyes) and had virtually no hope that nonny would follow me back (if you saw my old blog, you might see why i was inclined to think that).

however, nonny did follow me back and since summer 2019, we’ve been writing stories. nonny knew the character orion before there was mun-orion. nonny has followed me through all seven of my blogs / blog moves since then. and because i’m such a shy and awkward human, we only really talked in passing, only had a couple threads going at once. but i think a part of me knew that i wanted them in my space dearly, because they were always at the top of my mind with things like joining my rp server, and joining my scavenger hunt (gish) team. god, i remember feeling *so nervous* to mess things up with this incredibly brilliant, talented writer & this radiant human being who has kindness and goodness for days.

i suppose, in the end, i have westley to thank for giving me the courage to break down my inner barrier and start babbling nonstop at nonny. it’s because of them that westley’s become the lovable chaos he is today. it took me three years of awkward half-communications to realize that this person i admired and cherished so dearly would become my dearest and truest friend, the person who has been there beside me through absolute hell, and the person i’d walk through hell with. we’ve written well over a million words in 2022 (a total of about 14 full-length novels), and 2000+ pages. nonny inspires me every single day, both in character and out. they are my creative soul-mate and my partner in crime, my best friend, and this person i still sit back sometimes and wonder how they chose me to be the same.

i have never in my whole life written so much, had so much muse, laughed so hard, felt so seen and understood. i have never had anyone who has stood by me through the worst, and still known that i was capable of my best. these last 10 months or so have been full of so many highs (and more lows) for me, and you’ve always done your best to see me through. i hope with all of my heart i can do the same for you when you need me, and be a light whenever it’s dark, because surely that is what you’ve been for me.

so, my dear nonny — thank you for believing in me, for creating with me, for taking up space and existing in my life, spending time with you has been one of my dearest joys. going forward — i hope to provide light for you, i hope to do good for and by you, i hope i can inspire you in ALL of your endeavors, but most especially the creative ones ♡ , i hope to be by your side every time you need someone in your corner. i hope to create with you, exist in the same sphere as you, and be someone deserving of the profound light you shine on everyone around for a very, very long time.

i am so excited to meet you, and see where our first ooc/in person adventure takes us.

thank you, and thank the Universe for 3+ years of awkwardness that has led to no filter and this beautiful thing that i cherish with all of my heart. i hope it never changes, save for to grow and flourish, like one of james’s plants.

𝟐𝟏 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

someone’s going to meet their person in person. hint : it’s me. i’ll be mostly away because something-something shenanigans with @batteredoptimist ♡. please still feel free to respond to things, send messages and the likes. i’m just likely to be a little slow in writing / getting back to things for the next little while. i hope something good happens to you, too, tumblr! ♡

𝟏𝟗 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

i would sincerely like to apologize to the human and or bot that potentially goes through google translate searches, on behalf of @batteredoptimist and myself.

𝟎𝟗 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

just fourteen more days and i’ll be heading to an airport!?

𝟏𝟗 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

well, in the course of 8 months, @batteredoptimist and i have written 2000 pages, and 1,000,000 (yes, one million) words. we simply cannot be stopped, nor do i ever want to be. ♡

we keep finding new things to celebrate, and i love that for us tbh. soon!

𝟏𝟓 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

From Nonny's blog: [[ Just submitted writing to something for the first actual time ever and I couldn’t think of a better partner to do it with than @lovepurposed <3 ]]

𝟎𝟑 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

i’m having quite a nice time with my scavenger hunt. my team is absolutely lovely and they’re doing amazingly and i am so, so proud of them. sorry for the low-activity burst but i should be back to it next week at full chaos force. meanwhile, i got to spend some time writing with @batteredoptimist tonight which was exquisite and reminds me very much that simple things like writing the best stories you’ve ever written with someone who makes you smile is one of life’s great joys. i hope you find something joyful tonight, tumblr. i’m cheering for you. ♡

𝟎𝟑 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓 when referring to mine and @batteredoptimist‘s writing aloud to other people, i realized i’ve stopped saying ‘our rps’ and started saying ‘our stories’ instead and that makes me very happy. i love that for us.

𝟐𝟗 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄? *plays sappy youtube background music ironically* — it’s like a best friend but more... okay, okay BUT in all seriousness — @batteredoptimist and i just hit 2000 pages (times new roman, 12pt, 1.5 spacing) in gdocs and nearly a million words to boot after eight months of coming up with 10 main verses (at least 3-4 of which we plan to make into novels), 40 verses we haven’t had time to start yet, and a handful of verses that we’ve retired. our characters have grown so much together and i know that i have grown as a person in the absolute best way for having nonny in my life. so i guess when i go meet nonny in person soonish we’re going to have to celebrate big. there’s just a whole heckin’ lot to be grateful for here. and i am. i very much am. ♡

𝟐𝟓 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐

𝐒𝐎, 𝐇𝐄𝐘, 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍 — i’ve just spent the last three months transferring mine and @batteredoptimist‘s writing into google docs for a backup — and out of morbid curiosity of how much we’ve written in our 8 months of being partners in crime & chaos. and well, it’s a lot.

𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 𝟏𝟖𝟗𝟒 (𝟏𝟐𝐩𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝟏.𝟓 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠) 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 𝟖𝟕𝟐,𝟐𝟖𝟔 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 (𝐚𝐭 𝟖𝟎𝐤): 𝟏𝟎.𝟗

you know, this makes me very happy. nonny and james and muriel (and all of the rest) are some of the absolute greatest joys in my life and i am so honored to have shared all of this with them. if my blog wasn’t currently on shadowban, i’d be telling you all to go follow them because i certainly can’t write 11 novels in eight months with anyone who isn’t the very best of the best (of humanity, and as a writer). and i don’t care if that makes me sound biased. it’s wholly and happily true.

F R S T U for the fic asks?

Lots of letters! Thank you🥰

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.

This bit of Gil-Galad being a little shit:

“You see, sire, I may be young,” he said, the lopsided smirk returning to his lips, “but with all due respect, I am certain that my combat experience surpasses yours. Perhaps, on this occasion, you ought to leave the command to me.” Ereinion raised his eyebrows, and Arafinwë sputtered.

The idea of Gil-Galad meeting Finarfin during the War of Wrath is something I rotate in my mind like 5 times a week, no matter whose son Gil-Galad is. But I decided to make it extra angsty by having them be grandfather and grandson. By this point Gil-Galad is done with everyone questioning his leadership, he's a grown up ffs! He's had enough and he won't put up with his grandad waltzing into his camp, questioning his lineage and telling him how he should be commanding his armies. I just love him.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

Tons! I always learn something from every fic and every book I read, I cannot even begin to make a list. Currently my brain is possessed by Tamsyn Muir's The Locked Tomb series, so I'm trying to write a fic inspired by her work.

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

As you know, I am a sucker for star-crossed lovers. The love was there, it didn't change anything, but it still matters that the love was there.

Found family is also a big one I love, and seeing it developed in fanfic is like catnip to me.

And a shipping specific trope I love is "idiots in love" (it's requited, they're just idiots). When done right it's excellent.

T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?

I don't think there's any I particularly dislike, but I'll mention a couple pet peeves of mine:

When a character has done unspeakable things to another but they're in love so the other will forgive them everything because they have a magic dick/vagina. Where's the moral conflict? Where's the "I hate myself for loving you even if you have done horrible things to me"?

Also I hate when a fandom fixates on a tiny specific thing of a character and then you see it everywhere, to the point where it becomes a caricature.

U: Share three of your favourite fic writers and why you like them so much.

I'll mention 3 I follow on here whose writing I've enjoyed:

@smilindesperado I really liked (My Heart) Still Beats For You, a modern!AU is something that can be so personal, and so difficult to pull off, but this is flawless. I enjoyed the Mai & Sokka friendship so much, underrated dynamic! I'd read 100 more fics like this.

@imgoingtocrash Cat-Sitting remains one of my favourite fics from that trash fire that became the MCU. It's about the family (found and otherwise). It's about the comedy. It's about earning a cat's respect. It has everything.

@verecunda what can I say about A Few Good Years To Spend that I haven't said already? It's become part of my personal canon. I live in denial, so what.

1, 3 and 12 for the shipping preferences thing ^^

Thank you for the ask elm! I love doing these

If anyone else wants to send an ask:

1. List 3 Shipping Tropes You Love

I am not a big fan of tropes generally! They tend to make a relationship feel canned and not-unique, so I try to avoid them.

But aside from that... ^^

I like the poor x rich romances a lot. Aside from "I would like all of my problems to be solved by money", I've recently been replaying Mystic Messenger that has a similar dynamic and it's given me a new appreciation for the nuance that the rich character can have! Normally they're confined to being these douchebags who only slightly care about their lover who have a Dark Past but in Mystic Messenger, he's given a lot more depth and nuance as a character and I like to see that sort of stuff!

Fucked up Person A/Secretly Likes it Person B is also a huge favorite of mine. Just,,, it's so good. I especially love if Person B is in vehement denial about how much they like their partners not normal/probably abusive tendencies! Pair it with some dubcon and an absolutely loving Person A and you have a recipe perfect for Pine ☺️

My final guilty pleasure tends to only exist in C Dramas like Scum Villain's Self Saving System, but I love it all the same. Student A grows up to top Teacher B is a gigantic soft spot for me! Just, a kind older person who innocently took in this innocent little kid and mentored them, taught them and fed them, clothed them and loved them- only for the student to grow up and repay the favor by becoming the Good Strong Dominant Partner that they knew their poor teacher really needed 🥰🥰 whether the teacher likes it or not!

I feel like there's a theme going...

3. One emotional aspect of a ship that always gets you

Ooof.... that's hard. Believe it or not, I don't actually find more than maybe 1 or 2 romances in a few months time that actually have romances that appeal to me. I kind of just bear with it to see the story and pass the time.

One thing that does always hook me though is the "I know what's good for you". Just, Person A being able to trust Person B enough to let B make decisions and watch over them, protect them, it always gets to me. And A trusting B enough to go to them for everything, all emotions and problems they could have, because they know, love, and trust B enough to take care of them. :3

12. List 3 Ships You Currently Love

Ooh!

1. Jumin/Zen from Mystic Messenger. They are the above rich/poor romance I said I love 😊 Jumin is a complex character and Zen is as well, and they compliment each other nicely. Jumin is patient and kind, though he comes off as arrogant and cold. Zen is firey and passionate, if a bit narcissistic about his appearance, and he haaaaates Jumin for no reason 😂 its funny! I'm writing a fic for them right now, and I'm enjoying their dynamic greatly.

2. Vanitas/Noe/Comte de Saint Germain from Vanitas no Shuki. Vanitas and Noe's relationship is already very sweet and heartwarming when they're friends, but I'd like to reject the "No homo" tone the series has taken recently 😷 and who better to do it with than the Comte de Saint Germain, aka Noe's teacher! I think a rivalry between Vanitas and the teacher for Noe's affections would be very funny to write and read about, especially since it would be mostly one sided on Vanitas' part. I also think Noe just deserves to be spoiled and doted on. Sue me!

3. And finally, last but not certainly least since i have a whole blog dedicated to them, Natsume/Matoba. God, I could rant about Natsume Yuujinchou forever. Its such a good series and so underrated 😭😭 the fandom is nonexistent. I've been meaning to organize a one shot project for myself just to bump the numbers on ao3 and put some activity in the tumblr and Twitter tags bc it's so bare. Especially for this ship. It's the certified problematic ship, so that doesn't help either.

Anyway.

Matoba has the capabilities to be a good mentor and guide for Natsume as he further navigates the yokai world. He has just the right edge of danger to protect Natsume and keep him on his toes, and Natsume is perfectly fine with that whether he admits it or not. I always like to remember fondly the times when Natsume rejected someone's touch, only to not only accept Matoba literally playing with his hair, but relaxed as he did so!

Please watch/read Natsume's Book of Friends. It's so good.

Again, thank you for the ask!
