Causes great back pain, I'd presume. Human spines are bad enough due to being reoriented for the vertical. Having a 90° turn and another whole length of spine is bound to cause even more issues.

Women's clothing sucks. And I now firmly believe that one of the reason women are more obsessed about their weight is because of clothing. Growing up I mostly wore mens/boys clothing and I never had to think about size, waist, etc. The clothes won't hug my thighs in the sense that would make me conscious of them while moving. If the waist was too big id grab a belt. Plus the design of pants and tshirts was pretty standard.
Now during my late teens, early twenties i started going towards more women's clothing. Because i felt I had to look more feminine. And HOLY SHIT. It sucked. BAD. First the material. Its so bad and thin and cost more than guys clothes. No standard Tshirt fit, everything has a different shoulder to chest ratio. The pants are either too tight, hug your ass and thighs too much or are too baggy to be comfortable. And the waist. Holy shit. Ive been underweight till I was 23 (medical reasons). And I didnt have a lot of problem with the waist thing then (see where this is going) but the moment I kicked my illness and gained weight and got into normal weight range, dude the waist thing became a big issue. FIRST of all. For guys the waist end at waist, the hip bone area. Not for women. Most clothes go above the hip bones, some even over the belly button. If the thing feels right standing up, youll suffocate sitting down. And even if its elastic waistband, its sitting on your stomach, it does not have a bone to support it and it feels uncomfortable. (Maybe I have some sensory issue, I don't know about yall but I dont like being conscious of clothes sticking to my body). And now to the main point. I never had any issue with waist being uncomfortable when I was underweight or when I wear boys pants (really pants made for boys get more humanly consideration than women) and the moment i got into normal range, the womens pants saying they are my waist size fit pretty snug and tight around my waist, ass and thighs. But still till this day I never face this issue with my boys pants. Today while trying on some pants that my mom gifted me that said their waist was a size bigger than mine I found then uncomfortable and started thinking should I lose some weight? And that fucking blew my mind because I am already thin and in a pretty normal range of BMI. Those clothes feel comfortable as long as you are underweight. That is insane. Seriously. Ladies if this the case with you all. Or maybe some of you. Ditch the women's section. If you are short like me, go for the boys section or else mens. These fucking clothing sizes and designs are not made thinking of your comfort in mind. Now im gonna go to the store and exchange the pants for some boys khaki pants.
I think this is just one face of how the system is designed to make you feel uncomfortable and doubt yourself. You see how much waist room guys get? We are the same species after all. What the fuck. Do you make different size clothing for male and female cats or monkeys? No fucking other species have such a wide difference in body shape than what humans are told we have.

HAND HOLDING WITH THE GENSHIN MEN
contains : fem!reader, smut (yeah this is smutty not soft sry not sry <3 lmaooo), mentions of cervix fucking, size kink, tummy bulges, breeding / impregnation kink, creampies woohoo, oooh the praise in this has me going a lil insane tbh, some degradation too, lots of oral, fingering, soft doms *sniffles* my weakness. includes scenarios for zhongli, kaeya, dain, tighnari, xiao and childe. this is not proof read at all, please ignore any mistakes i will not be fixing them cause i'm lazy :D
i thought about this scenario with xiao and then i spiralled from there. sorry not sorry i needed to get this out of my system actually... i am so unwell bye. likes / reblogs are appreciated and feedback is always welcomed <3 minors dni !!
zhongli : oh he is so big. listen, everythingggggggg about him is big okay, he's literally a dragon like? his hands? big. height? bIG. cock(s)? BIIIIG and he thrives off being big. sinks his cock into you while being in a half dragon form just because his dick is bigger than his human form. golden horns on top of his head, the colour of his skin changing from his normal pale one to somewhat mixed. hues of black, orange, yellow and golden the further you travel down his body. his hands and fingers are slightly longer in this form. nails coloured black, almost resembling claws. he enjoys this form because it lets him keep his human-ness but it also embraces his past. his favourite form when you two get intimate because he wants to see your cunt struggle to take him. "there you go darling, takin' me in so well." he'd whisper as his tip pushes past your entrance, thumb rubbing against your clit. "loosen up for me, that's it." as your cunt begins to flutter around himjdhfhf aaaaa don't even get me started on the bulge he'd make in your tummy :( it's inevitable. he's just so damn big.
favourite position is you on your back, couple of pillows under your body and him holding your waist to raise your lower half off the bed, claws digging into the flesh of your waist as your cunt clenches around his cock. it's only when he's bottomed out and you're bucking your hips to signal him to move that he'd lace his fingers with yours. pins them above your head. have i mentioned zhongli's big? he's so big that he only really requires one hand to have both your wrists in his hold. daddy zhongli is so strong too, doesn't matter how much you move or thrash around when he fucks you, trying to get your wrists out of his hold so you can just touch him, he doesn't budge. waits for you to really beg, tears in your eyes as you sob out "please, please, please" will he soften up. intertwines his fingers with yours as he rocks his hips slower, but sooo deep. leans over to place a kiss to the top of your head while you thank him for letting go, and he does that every time when you two hold hands :( he's so <3 mm yeah best daddy me thinks.
kaeya : this man,, lord kayea is a wild card in my very humble opinion. he's a tease, we all know this. but i think sex to him is so intimate, especially when it's with someone he would give his heart to on a silver platter. he's like the perfect mix of tease and praise and degradation and somehow giving you what you need all at the same time? idk, just listen okay. the word tease might as well just be kaeya's middle name, he's just that good at it. he likes to hear you beg, plays dumb too. "hmm? my sweet little thing, you're so quiet. what did you say, i'm afraid i missed it." all the while he is knuckle deep into your cunt, fingers curling up juuuust right so they nudge your spot. but only just. he knows your body so well it's almost annoying. the curl of his fingers isn't enough to give you proper satisfaction but it is enough to have you crave for more. enough to make you gasp and buck your hips to try and get the satisfaction you need. "ah ah ah, don't be like that. i can't reward you if you're being a needy slut for me darling. use your words." starts withdrawing his fingers and ultimately you need to grab a hold of his wrist and b e g for him not to do that, beg for his touch. it makes his head go a little dizzy if i'm being honest. "there you go. that wasn't so hard now, was it?" and he gives you what you've been needing :( slender, pretty fingers pushing deeper into you till he physically can't anymore. letting them curl against your spongy spot and making you cum with a cry of his name liiike he thrives off teasing you and giving you what you want.
puts his dirty fingers in your mouth while he kisses your stomach, slowly kissing his way up your body (he is a romantic man after all) and makes sure to give your tits a squeeze too. grabs a hold of your chin to make you look at him as you let go of his fingers with a little pop and presses his lips to yours. it's a little messy, slippery and sloppy but you can feel how in love he is with you. spreads your thighs apart so he can press his hard on against your cunt while you kiss, tangles his fingers with yours while he ruts against your centre like he has all the time in the world :(( he takes it sooo slow, grinding against your cunt, the fabric of his boxers rubbing your clit so nicely, his lips against yours, giving your hands a little squeeze as you fiddle around with the elastic on his boxers. he just holds his body weight up with one hand, the other still tangled up with your fingers as you pull down the material just enough to have his cock out and while he fills you up nicely, he just tightens his hold on your hand cause you feel so tight around him every damn time <33
dainsleif : starting this off by saying he is SO touch starved. honorary member of the touched starved crew. he still gets so shy when he sees you naked in front of him no matter how long it's been. dain might look rough and tough on the outside, but he is so soft for you. he adores kisses your body. your lips? he kiss. your cheek? he kiss. top of your head or your nose? he kiss. inside of your wrist where he can get a slight wiff of your perfume? he kiss. but his favourite you may ask? his favourite type (aside from your lips) of kiss is when you're laid out on the bed. where he's between your legs and he's lifting your shirt off, placing kisses along your tummy, the valley of your breasts, then a gentle kiss underneath your earlobe before he's tossing your shirt to the side and making his way down your body again. this time, he places kisses to both your ankles once your pants are off, kissing up both your legs and your thighs. the last kiss he places is to your clit before his thumb presses against your nub, gentle circular motions that already have you seeing stars. dain rests his head against your thigh as he teases and rubs your clit over and over, watching how your hole clenches around nothing.
"always so pretty for me, aren't you?" another soft kiss to your upper thighs that have you wanting to shut your legs at how sensitive you feel. "keep 'em open, that's it. there you go." he'd say, your trembling thighs spreading once again. he's not the best with words of affection but he'll be damned if he doesn't praise you, let you know how pretty you are. how good you are for him. and when your hands clutch his hair and the bedsheets the closer you get to your orgasm, he'd bring the one that was holding the bedsheets closer to his mouth – dain places a kiss to your wrist, to the tips of your fingers before he slides his fingers against it and lets you grip it. he enjoys holding your hand so much while he does this, i cannot stress that enough. he likes it when you feel real. and it's only then, will he place his mouth on your cunt, letting his tongue tease your folds and dipping into your hole to really get a taste of you. feeling a sense of pride when you gasp and whimper out his name, tightening your hold on his hand as the other one still in his hair, buries his face deeper into your pussy.
tighnari : furry king he's so cute, sighs. like kaeya, sex for him is very very intimate with someone he loves. it's not about getting off, it's more so about the gentle touches, the praises that come from both your lips and his, it's about the way you two latch onto each other when you make love and he will die on that hill. yes every now and then, his animalistic urges take over and it is about a quick fuck but more often than not, he likes to explore your body. he loves it when you're straddling him. his favourite thing to do is feel you up while the both of you kiss. even though tighnari takes it slow, his movements almost feel rushed, desperate to have your clothes off. but it's the gentle kind of desperate, you know? where he wants you to be naked so he can appreciate every dip and every curve on your body without any flimsy layers of clothing in the way. hearts in his eyes even though it's the nth time he's seen you naked. you're wearing nothing, seated on his lap while his eyes dart all over your body, never really able to linger on one part for too long. admires how out of breath you are just from a make-out, lips slightly swollen and pinker than usual. continues to place kisses against your jawline to your neck as his hands grope your hips and thighs, eventually one hand inching closer and closer to your heat, a soft sigh escaping your lips as you feel the pad of his thumb finally brush against your clit. "feels good?" he'd mumble against your skin, ears twitching with excitement every time you let out more content noises followed by a soft "yes."
tighnari's good with his fingers, great in fact. he pays attention to your body, listening to every noise and taking mental note of how your body squirms in his hold as he touches you – he's so good that your hands don't really know where they should go. sometimes digging into the skin of his shoulders or his biceps. sometimes when he hasn't riled you up to where the only replies he wets are broken whimpers, they're in tighnari's hair, patting just behind his ears which has him rutting his hips against you, or sometimes they're just tangled in his locks tightly as you need to feel something to ground you. but tighari's favourite is when you plead him for his hand. the little taps against his bicep or wrist make his heart melt, followed by the "hold me, please." it almost makes the animal in him want to manhandle you, toss you on the bed and pin you there while his cock is hitting your cervix and you can't do anything but lay there and just take it. but the rational part of him tells him no. the rational part of him brings your hand to his lips, places a kiss to each and every one of your knuckles before lacing his fingers with yours, all while his other hand is buried knuckle deep in your cunt and being soaked with your juices.
xiao : he is very very very desperate with how he holds your hands. it's more so to remind himself that you're there with him, that you're real. he's a very passionate lover, how could he not be after eons and eons of thinking he's alone? of eons and eons of being alone. he's also a honorary member of the touched starved crew god he is so DJKFDHJGKD i'm so in love w him <333 he just wants to please you okay? like. all the time. every day. whenever you ask him or hint at it, he's ready to give you anything you want. he would do aaaaaanything for you to be honest. he's not very good with words, he knows he's terrible with words. but what he lacks vocally, he makes up for it with his actions instead. slow, but deliberate. almost like he's forgotten all those little stripes and freckles on your skin even though he's been memorising every dip and every mark whenever you two get intimate. gentle, barely there touches while he takes your clothes off, ghosts his fingertips over your pussy and breasts at first. likes it when you inhale sharply but he does give in. he's not much of a tease like kaeya is, gives in so quick. "'m gettin' there. just wait." he'd grumble, but there's no bite behind it all all. places a kiss to your hip bone before he spreads your legs and laps your cunt like a starved man. he's so good with his tongue, i can't stress that enough. another man who makes sure you've came on his tongue or fingers before he thinks about fucking you. the thing about xiao is, he gets pussy drunk so quick, and so very easily. the second he hears you let out a sigh of satisfaction after his mouth is on you, he's gone.
he's soo gone. xiao is an adepti, he's much stronger than humans. it's super easy for him to hold your body down with his hands, whether they be on you waists or even hooked around your thighs, he's not moving his mouth off you until he feels your hole clenching and gushing. or unless you're trying to pry his head off cause you "wan' be filled, please xiao!" flips you onto your back and makes sure your face is pressed into the mattress and your ass is up ohh my goddjghf yeah,, fucks you like that actually, he's pussy drunk. let him bury his cock in your cunt any way he wants plssss. he may not be long, but fuck is he thick. makes you clench the bedsheets while your noises are muffled out by the bed but :( xiao needs to hear you – tugs your back flush against his chest, makes his cock go even deeper in you that you're going dizzy and you're even more dizzier when you feel his fingers on your clit aaaa. firm believer xiao uses one hand too rub your clit while the other turns your head towards him so he can kiss you :(( he loves kissing you so much when you're fucking, tries to kiss you every time before you cum on his cock. it's so romantic for him. feels you cum around his cock and he's trying to hold back a groan but but but that's when he moves his hand that was on your clit to hold yours :( still kissing you too till he orgasms and spills his cum deeep in you and makes out with you for a couple of minutes. doesn't really care how sloppy it is, he just likes kissing you while you hold hands like that :((
childe : listen... childe is actually so romantic (we'll get there soon) i dunno about you. hand holding is his middle name, it's true i've seen the birth certificate. a romantic, mean perv is the best way to describe him. such a tease too. he won't give you what you need till he sees tears in your eyes or you actually start crying. he's kinda mean about it too. gets you sooo close to an orgasm only to just rip it away. "nawww, you cryin sweets?" and proceeds to lick your tears away. "don't cry, you pretty thing. gonna give you what you need, 'kay? just lay back f'me. there you go." smiles darkly when you listen to him again and lay your body flat against the bed again while shaking. and he just keeps doing that until you're full blow sobbing. "aj– ha– 'jax! please.. can' take it a'more... need to c-cum please." and watches you grip his wrists while you cry. it sets him off. he loves that you can get so pathetic for him :( some days when he's made you cry by not letting you cum, his favourite this is having you on top. just to add a little bit more humiliation into the mix. lays down first and gets all comfy without telling you what he's doing and just pats his lap. "not gonna get over here? thought you wanted to cum." has you scrambling over and once you're straddling him he'd put his hands on your thighs and just stroke them since they're shaking so much. but gives them a little slap, just enough for there to be a sound but not enough to hurt when he feels you try to lift your hips to take his cock in "relax baby. didn't i say i'm gonna give you what you need?" hhhh and when your thighs have calmed down and he's made your lips all swollen from kissing you so much will he lift your hips for you, letting you guide his cock into your hole and gives you time to get used to the stretch when he's bottomed out.
while you're taking your time and breathing whilst trying to hold back the orgasm that's approaching once being filled up, he'd let his fingertips trail up your arm, hand cupping the side of your face and rubbing his thumb along your lash line to gather the tears that haven't fallen yet and makes you suck the saltiness away from his thumb... and that makes his cock twitch in you. doesn't let you move though, wants to see how ruined you look before he's even fucked you right. and once he's admired you enough he'd go "c'mere sweets." and proceeds to hold out his hand for you. coos at how your hand is sooo tiny in his though. and he lets his other arm wrap your lower back, essentially he has you resting your head against his tits while you two hold hands. it's gentle, a contrast to how he was being mean to you earlier. as you grind on his cock and the little tufts of hair on his lower tummy make you cum around his cock, he brings your intertwined hands to his mouth and places a kiss to the back of your hand and bucks his hips up into your pussy to get to his high. but the thing is, once ajax feels soft like this, he'd just keep you above him, kiss you and keep holding your hands till he's hard again and fuck you till your lower halves are all messy and sticky.

I can't take it anymore. The new Chainsaw Man chapters are so good I have to talk about them. Spoilers for chapters 176-178 below.

Love Yoru here. She undermines the sacrifices Asa has made and describes them as "trifling things" because in Yoru's eyes she has a much bigger goal. She constantly makes fun of Asa because Asa is a child and therefore values things much lesser than the dreams of the War Devil. It's so insane because right in the next panel,

Asa acts like an adult! Would you sacrifice the things you have fought for the sake of your own gain? You say one thing but mean another. Asa is much like Yoru in this regard, she wishes to fulfill Denji's dreams (whatever they may be) and protect him. But in reality, she wants to do these things for the sake of proving she is a "good" person.
This connects back to the church briefly touched on in the previous chapters! What makes a good person? Action or intent? Many people go to church to follow tradition, and follow the values of this religious system because it will secure them in, what they believe to be, heaven. If one does good for the sake of personal gain, can we say that person is "good"?
Yoru and Asa both are willing to destroy what they had wanted to protect in order to gain this "goodness". Asa, without really understanding, is harming Denji while trying to do right by him. And Yoru, who is willing to kill her comrades for...

This! She is willing to give up everything for the sake of proving she is a "more fearsome devil"! She ridicules Asa for the "trifling things" she values, and yet she is sacrificing her own kin for the sake of the most petty bullshit dick measuring contest EVER. One that Chainsaw Man does not even care about. It's not a contest between two of the most "fearsome devils" it's a desperate devil attempting to find any means to remain relevant.
This is some teenager angst coming from a centuries old horseman of the apocalypse.


Armless, mouthless, and with zero agency she comes to realize her pettiness and chooses to steal the freedom of choice from her children. They must serve her as her mouth and her arms. Children then are:

Asa was saved by her mother from the Typhoon Devil. In reality, despite Asa's flaws she is a teenager. She wants go to college, have a home, have friends. Her story reflects Denji's. She wanted a normal life where she was loved and yet, her agency was taken by a devil much more powerful than her and now she must find meaning and power in a position stripped of those things.
In a way she is attempting to find a silver lining, "If I can protect Denji, that means I'm still a good person despite everything". Which is so tragic, because in more ways than one, she was never truly able to make a sound decision due to the lies she was told and the possession of her body.


And come this horrifying sequence of events. Where Asa finds herself as the War Devil, hollowed out of her original heart. Her dream desecrated by war waged for the most petty bullshit dick measuring contest EVER. And isn't that all war? As the Statue of Liberty reveals itself to be a cocooning child of war. True freedom, in the hands of law makers and of devils, is defined by one's ability to wage war and decide who, in the end of mindless violence, is the true victor.

Individuals willing to kill children understood to be a parents' property, or a state's property, are devils through and through.

This is the fundamental horror of being a child, of being poor, of being irrelevant. This is the fate devils and humans similar to Yoru avoid by constantly participating in petty bullshit dick measuring contests.
Denji and Yoru are children who have been hollowed out so devils and humans can wage violent wars that destroy colleges, homes, and families with these children's bodies and hearts.

Hiw kinnara could realistically work?what could be their internal anatomy, where should be wings ,legs,arms, nsfw parts, ? Typical kinnaris have the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a swan. Did I can use your kinnara drawings in my work?
kinnara: a hindu and buddhist mythical being with the upper half of a human and the lower half of a bird, wings included. the art I've found through internet search seems to vary on what type of bird is typically used. They look fun! actually reminds me of this other human-bird design I reblogged a while back (though this one makes the bird part much, much bigger than the human part)

(image description: two statues of humanoid figures with a bird body at their hips. end description)
I think if you did it similar to the post I linked, most of the internal and reproductive anatomy would match that of a bird, with the human torso part having things like the lungs, stomach, heart, and the bird part having more of the digestive system. that's just how they line up
the traditional of a kinnara basically just puts the legs int he normal human place and then attached bird parts around the hips, which works fine for their presentation as mythical figures having some manner of spiritual and symbolic importance. I don't expect them to look anatomically correct in this context. but if they're going to be used as a fantasy people, I think this arrangement of body parts is a little crowded and awkward, and the post I linked above has a more reasonable arrangement. however, I also think the bird and human sections can be drawn in different proportions depending on personal preference. here's my sketches:
(image description: simplified sketches of humanoid figures that have a bird body below the hips, not unlike a centaur. on the top half of the image are sketches of a bird-taur with a more natural bird body, having the legs further back while the wings are closer to the humanoid hip region. the lower half of the image shows a bird-taur with the legs in front of the wings. there are sketches of the full body, simple skeletal forms, and the bird-taurs in flight. end description.)
you can use these sketches as a reference if you want, but if you'd like to have nicer art for actual presentation in your project, please commission me! my commission info can be found here on ko-fi. I'll be able to prioritize detail and quality through a commission in a way I don't do with the quick art I make for tumblr asks.
reproductively speaking, most birds only have a cloaca, but some male birds do have a penis. it just stays internal until it's erect. finding an actual specific list of bird species with a penis was a little annoying because for some reason all these articles were quite vague like "oh, ducks, ostriches, and some other birds" like no, I need to know all of the specific species please! Figuring out non-human reproductive systems can be stunningly tricky sometimes.
anyway here's one article on the matter
and here is another article
from my research, here's just a list of bird species that have a penis:
ducks, geese, swans, ostriches, emus, tinamous. and there are also some birds that have a pseudo penis, such as cassowaries and red-billed buffalo weavers.
apparently all birds do have the genetic potential to have a penis, but they just don't grow one. so it might be an ancestral trait! that's kinda neat. personally, I have given my bird folk, the quetzalin, a penis that remains in the cloacal wall and emerges when erect. and yes, it's curly, though nowhere near as nightmarish as the penis on a duck lol. so you go ahead and have whatever fun you want with bird folk genitals.

Are there any differences between just wearing diapers full-time and actively untraining?
A follower sent me this question in an ask recently. I didn't feel like I could answer it comprehensively without derailing the ask. I'm answering it here instead.
The answer is: Yes, but actually no (but ...)
In humans, and in many other species, the body system which controls the voiding of bodily waste is adapted such that it is under voluntary control. However, the means by which that control is maintained require it to be maintained through use. If it isn't used, it erodes.
Untrainers actively target this, by actively refusing to use their control and by adopting strategies which will allow their body to void with minimal physiological effort. People who want to wear and use their diapers 24/7 (henceforth "24/7ers") obviously don't actively seek to lose their control. However, using diapers 24/7 means they will increasingly generally be in a situation where not using their control is a convincingly better choice and/or using it is convincingly worse.
Here's a hypothetical. It's based heavily on my experience but is not a direct factual account; it's also heavily simplified because I'd have to either do anonymisation or worldbuilding otherwise and I'm not going to do either of those things.
Say you're a college student. You have a very predictable college administration, and because of that, four days a week, you have:
a 9–11 AM lecture
an 11 AM–12 PM interval
a 12–2 PM tutorial, with no break in the middle
You have a chance to snack, hydrate, and get a coffee in the interval. As a result, you consistently have the problem of realising, about 30 minutes into your 12 PM tute, that you need to pee.
This is a problem. See, in most places, excusing yourself to pee is a neutral act, but in college, there is an expectation that you'll stay in the room unless you absolutely have to leave. Not usually an overwhelming one, but present in the same way that getting up constantly to pee at a movie theatre is somewhat more frowned upon than doing so while watching the same movie at home.
So, what do you do? Well, if you're continent, or at least wearing underwear, the answer you're pressured toward under those circumstances is just holding it for the remaining 90 minutes. Sure, it might be annoying, but if you have normal continence it's not likely to be so distracting that you can't willpower through it. If you're wearing diapers and have decided to use them, however, none of this logic applies. Short of any other intervening factors too complex and individual to be listed here, if you feel the need to pee 30 minutes in, there's no reason not to pee 30 minutes in.
The effect of this is obvious: that's 90 minutes you're not exercising your control when you otherwise would have. That's not much, but you can never have just one potato chip, as the saying goes. For instance, you also realise that you've been feeling the need to pee about 30 minutes into your morning lecture. You haven't really been thinking about it because that one does have a break at 55 minutes and it's a lot easier to wait until then. But why wait?
And so this continues. This hypothetical person is based on me so it would probably be pretty reasonable to nominally divide their day into 3 blocks of 8 hours each:
college and related things (studying on-site, commuting, etc.)
home and related things (work, study at home, free time, etc.)
sleep
(No, I did not get anywhere near that much sleep; yes, the non-college-time block was a lot bigger than that for me.)
Out of your college and related things block, when you level out you're probably holding it for maybe 50% of the time you were before, on average. So you're effectively holding for at least 4 hours fewer out of 24 per day, 4 days a week: –16 hours out of 168 per week, total.
Still not a lot, but it builds up. For instance, I think at this point we can safely assume you're still dry at night and your continence behaviour during sleep is the same as it was before you started wearing full-time. But most people at least initially find it easier to start using their diapers at home and in other familiar places, where nobody has any reason to watch them. So at home the amount of time you were holding it had already been maybe half what it would have been before. Another 4 hours' worth of non-use of control, 4 days a week, making –16/168 h/w, for a total of –32/168 h/w.
On the 3 days a week you're not at college, we can safely move the 8 hours a week that would have gone to "college and related things" into "home and related things", the block during which you're only holding for about half as long as you were anyway. So that's 16 hours total, so that's 8 hours fewer of control on each of those 3 days; 8 × 3 = 24, making a total of –(32 + 24)/168 = –56/168 h/w.
But wait! All that practice you're getting wetting your diapers at college, where you're nervous about it, is helping tremendously with wetting your diapers at home and other places where you're more comfortable. So suddenly instead of holding for 50% of the original length of time at home you're holding for 25%. Then 10%. So now that 8 hours of control not being used is 14 hours 24 minutes (× 3 days a week) and now it's –75.2/168 h/w. And it continues to add up.
And of course you can respond to this by saying, well, I want to wear diapers 24/7 but I know I don't want to lose my bladder control, so I'll simply pee at the same time I normally would have. Which makes perfect sense, but also, that's an abstract long-term commitment, and it's now competing with things like the visceral discomfort of needing to pee increasingly for 90 minutes, when you know you don't have to be experiencing that discomfort. You have to really care about the thing you're committed to for it to serve as the bulwark of your self-discipline in that kind of situation. And even then, there are probably going to be days when you're going to give in, because the machine didn't have mocha iced coffee today, it only had double espresso, and now your eyeballs are swimming.
And you can say, well, I'm not going to need to avoid peeing for 90 minutes, because I will simply do other things, like not have water and coffee directly before my two hour tutorial with no break. To which my answer is, sure. Water is necessary for brain function, caffeine is addictive. Yes, it's plausible that you'll give up one of those, but the path of least resistance is the one where you wet your diapers because it's the one where you get everything you want (staying in the lectures, wearing diapers, using diapers, drinking coffee, drinking water).
And all this discussion of self-discipline and paths-of-least-resistance is ignoring the positive disincentives against using your control. For example: When we pee in a toilet, we tend to release it all at once and as quickly as possible. In most diapers, that's not advisable. The superabsorbent polymer can't absorb that much liquid that fast; the inside of the diaper will flood and leak.
Diapers obviously can absorb a lot of liquid given enough time, so the first thing to address is flow rate. Flow rate is determined by volume (that is, if there's more pee you need to void, you will pee faster). Therefore, the way to pee at a lower flow rate is to pee when there's less pee in your bladder. The kidneys produce urine at a rate which is strongly predicted by your diet and medical conditions, so if those are relatively stable then your urine output will be too. In that case, the most effective way to pee when there's less pee in your bladder is to pee frequently. In short, diapers literally discourage you from holding your pee and encourage you to pee as close as possible to when you feel the urge.
And then, of course, there's the fact that the map is not the territory, and the view from the top of a mountain differs from the view from the bottom of the adjoining valley. Decisions about maintaining continence and responding to continence failures that are made prior to going into diapers 24/7 are made in one context. Decisions about the same matter that are made well into the process, when the things in question are or might be actually happening, are made in another context entirely. And there are obviously factors other than immediate short-term discomfort or utility that dictate what choices someone makes.
Wearing full-time isn't the same as untraining. But it makes not untraining a lot harder than it was before wearing full-time.

Some little Raphael headcanons:

Raphael absolutely detests that he is a cambion. This stems entirely from being half human, which he loathes and is exceptionally insecure about. Once he was able to control his devil shape and form, he embraced it 100% and wanted to be more devil than human. Unfortunately, as a cambion, he will always be reminded that he is half a devil, and it's something he's very insecure about--comment on it and find out.
Raphael still requires food, water, sleep, and the toilet. As a cambion, he still requires food to sate his human hunger, however, cambions are allergic to most foods outside of meats, and he can get very sick if he eats something out of the ordinary. This is something he hates also, because he envies that full devils can eat whatever they wants despite not NEEDING it. Unlike him, he requires food still, but is limited to what he can actually consume without being ill. The nerve!
While he does not need as much sleep as a normal human would, he still requires rest. This makes him feel less efficient as a devil, because devils don't require sleep, and Baator runs off efficiency. One more thing to the whole hating being a cambion, as others look down on him because he requires something as simple as sleep.
As for the toilet... apparently cambions have digestive systems that require purging, which makes sense since they also require food and sleep, etc (the chamber pot in game supports this).
Raphael says he has a wine cellar in game, and I think fannon has pretty much taken on board he's a wine drinker. But he also requires water, because hydration is important! Especially in hot arse Avernus (even though devils are immune to fire).
Raphael is autosexual (sexual attraction to ones self). This is pretty much canon lore if we go off what Haarlep says in game (he stares at his own portraits, he only ever wants to sleep with himself, "Raphael loves only Raphael" etc.). I will absolutely go into a bigger post about Raphael's sexuality when I have the time, I've just been avoiding it because fandom will hate me lol.
Secondly on this note... he is not sexually or romantically interested in Tav and Co. Raphael isn't interested in sex in general unless it's with himself (or Haarlep as himself). This doesn't mean he won't use sex as a lure. He absolutely will, especially if he picks up that Tav/Co is interested in him or flirting. Overall, however, he sees everyone else as beneath him and therefore not worthy of his affections.
I am on the train of Raphael isn't exceptionally good in bed, though this isn't because he's BAD per se, it's because he's selfish. He doesn't care to please Haarlep, he cares about his own end goal and that's it. Once Raphael is done and had his orgasm, he's not about aftercare or pleasuring his sex toy (sorry 'Lep'Lep, I love you but it's true >:).
In saying that, Raphael is exceptionally possessive, and he does see Haarlep as his property. This also stems from Raphael's own feelings of inadequacy in general (re: cambion), and therefore, he becomes jealous and possessive with EASE. If he gets any inclination that he is not good at something, he will rage no thanks to those insecurities and feelings of being inadequate.
Raphael is an extremely firm believer in the laws of Baator. He is Lawful Evil to the T. I believe he fully respects and follows these traditions. His comments about the Oathbreaker Tav shows that he's not willing to deal with someone he knows is going to break a contract, because he finds that despicable. This isn't to say Raphael doesn't TWIST those laws and use loopholes to his convenience (every devil does). However, he does believe in those laws and he will follow them, because to his core, he's very Lawful Evil.
Raphael is a control freak. Living with him would be a nightmare. Everything is under his control. Every room has some strange little code or charm or riddle that requires invitation. You can't just roam around the House of Hope without Raphael knowing. He knows EVERYTHING that goes on in his house, and if he doesn't, he'll punish someone until they have no other choice but to tell him.
Raphael is a sadist. This also stems from the whole re: cambion and feelings of inadequacy. Being in control and seeing others under his command gives him a sense of (sexual) pleasure and satisfaction. This comes from a place where he has felt little and like nothing as a young cambion growing up in the Hells, where others would look down upon him and make him feel insignificant. Now, he has gained the upper hand and he will continue to do so. This is a classic tale of the bullied becoming the bully.
Second to this, he has violent tenancies, though they are generally left for very specific moments. Raphael prides himself in being a calm and collected devil, one that doesn't allow his temper to get the better of him (however, we know this happens if you make fun of him or don't play by his rules). There is a time and a place for such violence, he will not act like some savage beast, after all. It will be calculated (look at how he tortured Hope, he doesn't raise his voice, he uses manipulation, disappointment, likely even forms of psychological torture and Stockholm Syndrome tactics).
Raphael suffers night terrors. This is due to being a cambion, and because his evil nature haunts him and attempts to corrupt his thoughts and soul. Over the years, they have become something less common, but Raphael absolutely dreams (and that's canon since his diary entry). He will often twitch and mumble in his sleep (Haarlep is there to help if he wakes in distress--though Raphael tries to pretend it's nothing worth fussing over).
Speaking of diaries... Raphael is notorious for writing daily reflections. He writes EVERYTHING down. Which is honestly a really dumb thing, because even when he's plotting, someone could just pick his is diary and read every little scheme he has. While some of them are more in depth, others are sort of coded, but Raphael's quill gets away from him, and oftentimes, he is writing more in depth than he realises. For someone who demands to be in control of everything, his pages are quite often filled with restless writing and a clear sign that his thoughts are getting away from him. Poetic, right? XD
Raphael hates children. Hates! They are messy, they smell and they are noisy. Loathes children. But a child he can turn and manipulate into his own mould... he will definitely try and win over (aka Mol).
Raphael's contracts are all written in rhyme, he also has the ability to make contracts in verbal format (like with Yurgir).
Raphael waxes. He also plucks his brows. While he keeps his chest, arm, leg and pubic hair, his back and butt is always waxed. He maintains his pubic hair as well, just very neatly, as well as any other body hair he keeps. You won't catch him dead with a beard (too much like daddy).
Raphael's human form isn't overly tall. I hc him to be the average height, which is around 5'7. Honestly, I'd hc him shorter if I could, because he has short king syndrome and i love it. :) But going off game models, he seems pretty average. In cambion form, he's taller, but still average for a cambion imo. His height is nothing special, and that likely bothers him.

You know, alto... Do you get the feeling that "Rebirth" Sephiroth, while stronger than ever, is kind of like "less refined"? It's an idea that has been starting to occur in TV Tropes, you know, and I myself agree.
In Remake, he's all overwhelmingly fast, brutal, and yet precise as the final boss, but in Rebirth? Blocking and dodging his attacks become surprisingly simplistic in the pattern, he relies on excessively flashy skewering techniques and shows of force using Whispers as projectiles that leave him vulnerable. Hell, when he's using Whisper Whirlwind, his Masamune can be targeted to weaken him, while Whisper Cannon makes his wing a weak-point. He didn't have any of that on Remake. It's like he's traded the skill, the style that made him so great in favor of displays of strength and Whisper attacks, and that makes him easier to deal with compared to when he is using weaker but more efficient moves. In fact, SEPHIROTH REBORN can use his human form's moves bigger but much slower and less accurate, like how Zanshin Profane are twice the size of the normal Zanshin's, but move with less than half of the velocity, and Hell's Gate produces a large glowing spot on the ground where it's going to strike that stops moving well before the attack actually arrives.
In general, I think his COMBAT SKILLS are starting to atrophy. In fact, the final round of Rulers of the Outer Worlds is a virtual copy of Sephiroth. He doesn't have any wings, he uses similar tactics and moves than the ones he used in Remake, and is a vastly more difficult opponent despite being weaker. What do you think about this, as such a Sephiroth fan yourself?
I'm sure there's not actually a science to it. He just has different game mechanics lol They had to actually build an in-game system for Seph since he's playable early on so it makes sense for him to functionally operate differently than he did in Remake.
Story-wise though, it would certainly make sense to a degree though. Opera Omnia has mentioned the idea of Sephiroth starting to stagnate in terms of his battle moves. That's why him actually blocking what looked like the beginnings of Omnislash was actually REALLY interesting in Remake. The Sephiroth at the Edge of Creation is different from the others....

Some Vampire Headcanons
Kinda based on the exchange I had with @0nelittlebirdtoldme, I thought I might as well talk a bit about how I handle vampire biology in certain regards. This is very much rooted in what we see in Castlevania, though I am gonna hold to those rules in my other stuff too (so both for DnD stuff, as well as original vampire stories).
Vampires and normal Food
This is one of the things we know about the Castlevania vampires, but that I like in general. Vampires as I write them can eat normal human food - it just does not give them any nurishment. So, they can eat it for the pure enjoyment of food, but when they are starving it does not do anything for them.
Of course, people would say: "But shouldn't their digestive system be specialized on digesting blood?" To which I say: "A human sized being could not sustain itself on blood alone. So, it is magic. Either way it is magic. So..." *shrugs*
But... While vampires can consume alcohol, they can no longer get drunk because the food does not get properly digested - hence the alcohol never enters the bloodstream.
Speaking of which...
Vampires and their own Blood
Okay, folks. Here is the thing. I know that the general consensus is that vampires have no blood on their own. But, well... They kinda need to have that. Especially if like me you wanna write some nice hot smut. Because here is the thing: No blood. No boner. No blood. No wet pussy. Both things depend on blood being there. So, yeah, they need blood.
Also it should be noted that basically in all vampire media we still see vampires bleed. Which I find kinda funny in Baldur's Gate, where there has been so much effort in thinking through how bloodlessness would affect Astarion's look. Yet... We see Astarion and the other vampires bleed, which they cannot do if they don't have blood. (Duh.)
Vampires and Regeneration
My vampires can regenerate normal wounds by taking a moment to focus on them. To put it into TTRPG terms: They can regenerate by taking one round of concentration on them. Which makes it a bit harder to regenerate during combat, but outside of it, it is rather easy. Though obviously it takes a bit longer to regenerate bigger wounds.
There is however some limits. Magical wounds cannot be healed like this. While they will still usually heal faster than with a human, they cannot just regenerate that kind of damage within minutes. Also it takes energy to regenerate. So if a vampire is hungry and has not fed in a while they regeneration slows considerably.
Vampires and Sleep
Speaking of regeneration... Vampires physically do not need to sleep. Their body does not develop exhaustion in the way mortal beings would. As such they do not need to sleep for the kind of regeneration that normal folks need.
However... Their mind does. Sleep is something that we also need for our psyche to process things we have experiences, to process things we learned. So if a vampire does not sleep, they will not do this processing... Which is not only bad for memory, but also for their psyche. This also means that a lot of vampires (due to what I talked about in another blog) do kinda struggle with this. As sleep brings nightmares, but not sleeping lets those nightmares seep into a reality.
Vampires and Fertility
Then there is the last thing. Vampires and their fertility. Another thing I spend too much time thinking about. So, what I came to: Most vampires with the cock and balls anatomy will stay fertile, as their fertility does not take up a lot of biological effort. Meanwhile vampires with ovaries loose their fertility some point during the first ten years after being turned. Because, let's face it... I don't want to put an eternity of periods onto anyone lol
As such it is possible for fullblooded vampires to be born - but it is rare.
So yeah. That is in general the rules I use for vampires in my writing.

yeah pretty much what you said also, as i saw someone else say, people give hussie WAY too much credit for racial coding. hes not the most politically correct guy and the only reason he became that way is because he was forced to cater to his new type of fanbase once the story became more popular with those types of people. the ONLY reason he even made racial coding happen in the first place was just because he thought putting stereotypes on trolls to be funny. condesce/meenah speaks aave because funny and damara speaks japanese because woah horny weaboo! even the progressive side of the fanbase is split on how black coded the makaras are. plus given the whole retcon-y nature of homestuck maybe its just me but i feel when it came to what races the characters were meant to be coded as were inconsistent. i get trolls are like an alternate reality equivalent of humans and have a lot of human traits clearly but i dont think hussie was consistent on those traits either.
like the beta counterparts feferi and aradia show no signs of culture and coding. the ancestors/dancestors were a later idea and were inspired by fanfcition. it is divisive if damara is even meant to be truly japanese or a weeb. nitram family might be spaniards and so on. heck even the condy is based on nicki minaj thing was a rumor that seems to be slowly more contested these days. we only have evidence she was partially based on a white character aka betty crocker but people dont use this to argue that she is white coded despite that playing a way bigger role than *potentially* being inspired by a black woman. personally i think race coding for trolls is there but not because of genuine diversity but for the sake of references and lols but also i dont think the races were consistent in the first place. i think hussie would swap things whenever he feels like it. like yeah things like troll will smith exist but we have absolutely no proof condy is troll nicki minaj.
plus there IS the whole thing of how hussie clearly early on saw the humans as all white until he retconned them to be aracial which only works because ectobiology. caucasian incident anyone? and if the human kids are aracial because they are actually revealed to be biologically different paradox space clones why wouldnt the same apply to the beta and alpha trolls who arent truly biologically trolls either because they are made the same way? more to why i think the coding was an inconsistency and he just added coding as an excuse for making jokes and pop culture references. the more you think about it, and while yes homestuck is filled with nonsense, if we are gonna have serious debates about it then if humans who were once racially coded are now accepted as aracial because of ectobiology then it makes less sense why the same wouldnt apply to aliens who yes are meant to be an alternate universe stand in for humans but they are not part of that alien race either because they were made through ectobiology too. food for thought.
I wouldn't mind if he had put in racial coding as a joke. I mean, this is the same guy who made Team Special Olympics. He has done racist humor and wouldn't put it pass him if he does it in Homestuck but now with trolls being used as jokes about racism. I bet that's what he had in mind when stuff like Eastern Alternia was introduced. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something equivalent to other ethnicity in Alternia, they would play up the stereotype to the extreme and it would be seen as normal to the trolls.

If people had thought Meenah and by extension, The Condesce, was black coded, doesn't that mean it was a POC that placed the racist hemospectrum caste system in the first place? Doesn't that give a worse implication? But then again, nobody makes Eridan black for that reason and they always depict him as white or light skinned. People pick and choose who gets to be light or dark based on if the fandom likes or hates them. Because making a character that is hated or problematic a POC means that person thinks x race is bad, when it's never the case. Despite even now aracial being canon, people still get upset if you depict some as white. Even if it's on-model. So then everybody is POC, including problematic characters like Bro, Caliborn, Eridan, and Cronus? Or are they the exception because they are abusers, toxic masculinity, incels, etc?

Gorgeous
Inspired by "Fear of you" from @sleepwalkersqueen
Note:The first chapter is done! My current goal is to write a chapter for each week but maybe it will take two weeks sometime but that is an issue for future me. I am really excited to see some feedback and how you guys like it:). On another note, while I try my best to keep a relatively straight line and facts with the original story some things might be wrong, please feel free to correct me if it happens ♥️. My current goal is a total of 5 chapters since I only want these to be a relatively short story that doesn't rewrite too much stuff happening in the original story because I obviously don't just wanna rewrite the fic. Please enjoy!
Next>>
Warnings: I am not a therapist so please take everything written here not as a prime example or as a fact, mention of torture, curse words
Chapter 1
I always wanted to see what more Tartarus had to offer. I wanted to explore every single floor there was. Meeting a new and more dangerous villain each day. Getting to know their thought process, if there really was a bigger masterplan behind it.
Answering my questions that spiraled in my brain like an endless loop. Are they actually wicked? Do they have any sign of humanity in them? Are they just broken souls? Can such a broken mind be fixed? Cliché I know.
All these questions are the real reason why I wanted to work here. Luck was on my side at the time I applied, because they wanted to test out if a therapist might be able to help them with their work (Which basically summarized that they wanted to get more information out of the patients).
But even when I worked with them they still continued with the methods they used before. This did not help make progress since I also had to work with their new experienced trauma which was already bigger than the universe.
If I am honest they were hesitant to hire me, since I graduated young from university and had no experience whatsoever. It took over a month and another month of internship to make them believe that I was cut out for the job. Even now they still don't fully trust me with their whole system. After all, I was a weak point for them.
Once I had the job I was more than thrilled. Finally able to do what I dreamed of since I was a kid. Even though there was still much to achieve. Of course, there is also the aspect of trying to make them stop their own ways for mine to finally be able to bloom just a little bit.
Seeing the number two pro hero walk up to me one day with his mighty steps that sounded like mountains crashing together I would lie if I said I didn't feel my heartbeat stop for a moment. Let alone when he talked to me for two seconds before giving me all I ever wanted with his angry and demanding attitude.
The moment I was granted this wish of mine I regretted it. Not because I stopped believing in my dream but because seeing the actual part of no one should know is frightening. Frightening might even be an understatement.
Their voice, movements, and the way their bodies looked were scaringly disgusting. The air smelt rotten and it was cold not only because of the temperature. People are being drugged out of their brains to keep them calm, they all look like corpses that have been exposed to warmth and air for too long.
From my plain observation, it even seemed like mutants are treated worse than the other prisoners. Which is a common thing even in normal standards of society. I cannot even blame them because mutants can be incredibly scary.
Tartarus. A name that ran a chill down each villain's spine. A place where the moment you step into you may never escape alive. Rumors spread across the underground like wildfire. About what will happen once you are captured and what you have to endure.
The villains that are imprisoned in Tartarus don't make the facility this scary I realized. Maybe the good people think that they are the reason for all this talk, but this is where they are wrong.
"Do whatever you want"
Just remembering those four simple words made my skin crawl. Goosebumps spread across my body. A sentence you might say to a child that you have no interest in dealing with. Or maybe to your trusted hairstylist.
But not to a licensed therapist who is capable of either destroying you or building you back up. Or to the guards who held the interrogation.
The meaning behind the words held something so incredibly heavy I wanted to forget every memory of someone saying these words, no matter who or when.
Because they meant it. They didn't care if I did my job right or not because I wasn't even supposed to be there. I could do whatever I wanted with the person in front of me. The people who have no way of defending themselves because of their chains and quirk suppressors.
-------------------------------------------------------
The air in the small bright room was filled with tension that I created by possibly the worst mistake ever. The guards who were still in the room with me looked at me confused. The only comfort I had at the moment was that the person I directed the mistake to couldn't answer at the moment. But even seeing his eyes shoot up was enough to make me rethink my life choices.
I can clearly feel my face losing its color out of shock from my totally unprofessional behaviour.
"you're so gorgeous"
Whatever ghost possessed me to say that clearly needed new activities to entertain themselves.
With the love for everything I possessed, I cleared my throat and sat down on the chair at the table they provided.
"You can take off the muzzle" my voice rang through the empty room with an echo. It left a chill in my body hearing it so metallic.
The guards hesitated for a moment before they actually started doing their job. They left the room when I gave them another glare, signaling to give us privacy like I asked them to.
Takami-San looked physically exhausted yet his eyes remained sharpness that you don't see very often in patients around here. He had a big grin on his face that I wished I could just wipe off of his face, even if I was the cause of this.
For some reason, he stayed silent. Maybe it was because he was already taunting me or he was waiting for me to introduce myself, I couldn't tell.
"I am Howashi Amaya, I will be your assigned therapist" I introduced myself, a genuine and respectful smile resting on my face.
"Therapist? Sounds fake, they don't care about how fucked up I am" he tilts his head to the side, eyeing me up and down like a bird.
"You're right they don't care, which is why they told me to do whatever I want"
For some odd reason, he seemed to tense up from these words, I wonder why.
"So I decided to just do what I am best at"
"Being a charming girl?"
At that, I took a deep breath. I scrunched my face and looked down at my empty sheet of paper.
When I looked back up he was grinning again god he looked so good stupid.
"Actually no. I meant I will try to help you"
"Help me get out of this shithole?"
"not really I am afraid"
"Ahh shucks"
I waited for a second before actually starting my usual procedure. Which on second thought seemed to be a little too late.
"How has it been?" I click my pen while looking at him, ready to write down whatever I could tell from his response.
"Really? Do you actually ask people this in fucking prison?" His voice sounds raspy.
"I didn't ask how you felt, just how it has been. You could answer nearly everything on it. How you feel, how the people treated you-"
"fucking brilliant, you should get a medal for being a smartass"
"Thank you for calling me smart, I appreciate it"
I silently tap my pen on the paper. Waiting for any kind of reaction from him. As the silence settled I started to notice some weird marks on his neck, they looked kinda infected.
"What do you have on your neck there?" I gestured with the pen on my own neck.
As soon as the question was spoken he tensed and looked more traumatized than a baby chicken that just discovered the big scary world. He broke off the eye contact he previously held with me. His body huddled up in an attempt to look smaller and protect himself, probably with his wings but he wasn't able to do it. Uncomfortable if I need to describe it in one word.
I probably don't need a deeper answer to figure out why they might be there. I silently stand up and walk around the table. He tried to move away from my hands when I reached out but because of the chains, he couldn't move far enough away.
Ever so gently I pulled the collar down and placed my hands on the marks. A familiar warmth spread across my hands and I started to feel how the infected wounds closed and healed.
When I was done I took a step back looking satisfied down at him before returning to my chair.
"Aye... Of course, the doctor has a healing quirk" he mumbles silently.
"Do you have anything you wanna talk about?"
" Aye, why are you here? Never heard of someone like you even working here. Doesn't seem like their style to hire a fucking therapist to fix me or anyone really"
"Good question" I nod in agreement "The answer is simple, I am the only therapist around here. That is why you've never heard of me. The last question shouldn't bother you too much after all you have been here for quite some time and are already in debt worth more than my monthly check"
"Have you ever seen a therapist before?" I ask with a light smile on my face.
"Do I fucking look like it?"
Silence.
"Besides I don't need another bitch asking me any more questions, I have the sparkler for that"
"Sparkler? You mean the number two?"
"Nah I mean the nice guard's captain obvious"
Another silence.
"And I don't need anyone knowing about the stuff I tell him, it's private business." He said in an oddly calm voice.
That certainly amazed me, since I have seen all the recordings of their talk, except the first one. So he wasn't aware that everyone was still listening in. Maybe this will one day be their downfall, why would he be so stern about keeping this a secret if it wasn't necessary.
"Why should no one listen in?"
"Because I said so"
This will be a lot of fun.
"Well with me you can talk about everything you share with Endeavour. No one is listening or watching. I like to keep my talks up to my hands, especially what I share with the government"
And that was not a lie.
-------------------------------------------------------
The room was filled with the sunlight shining through the window above the kitchen counter. The light shone through the leaves of the plants sitting at the window.
It was peaceful. The air was fresh and smelled faintly of fish and rice.
The only sound that destroyed the peace was the TV that played the news
Yet the only real news would be that someone escaped Tartarus and that still isn't public information. I wonder what will happen once the public knows.
Once I turned the TV off the silence that came with it was broken with a call. When I read who was calling I felt my mood drop just a little bit.
"Howashi speaking, what can I help you with today hottest hero in Japan"
"He escaped me!" The man yelled angrily, ignoring my terrible joke.
"who escaped you?" I ask grinning widely.
"Takami! That fucking mutant had his brat stealing my wife's necklace"
He has a child? Now that is a surprise. Even a bigger surprise was that he was stupid enough to let his child steal something from him.
"And how is that my problem?" I ask while standing up and staring out the window biting my nails.
"You worked with him for five years! You know exactly what is going on in his stupid birdbrain" Endeavour yelled. I am not even sure why he is yelling at me, I would hear him loud and clear with a normal tone.
"First of all that is extremely rude talking about mutants like that, I am one as well after all, and not even different from Shinyo. Second just because I worked with him does not mean I understand everything he does"
"But you know where he might go"
I nervously tap my fingers on the kitchen counter. Closing my eyes to contemplate if I actually know where he might go.
If I break it down it comes back to one thing, he has a child and is currently taking care of them. But knowing he has unfinished business makes it counterproductive to take care of a child who has to be at least five or four years old. He probably didn't even know the child existed since he never talked about having one, only about his wife Nitsuki.
Nitsuki? Right, he might be searching for her so he can give her the child. But why wasn't she with them?
"I might have an idea but to be honest it is not crystal clear that he is with her"
"Her?"
"Takami Nitsuki, his wife. If he has a child he will certainly not have any time to deal with it and will try to bring it back. The only question I still have is if she really left the child alone and why he has to bring it back"
"Those are two questions and I want you to come to my agency to discuss this further" he demanded. Almost sounded like I didn't have a choice.
"Alright, I can fly over, when?"
"Now" and he hung up the phone after that. Not even a goodbye.
Once I was dressed and didn't look like I just got out of bed. I walk outside of my apartment building taking off my suppressors.
Once I felt the warmth on my back and my wings regrowing I took a small jump before dashing into the air.
I just hope this story will end on a relatively good note.

Nim'ke Nim'ke Nim'ke. Thinking about them <3 (the desert)
Their skin is thinner than human skin and clear, with black veins. This clear skin allows them to absorb the sun’s energy and convert it into poison, they show a lot of skin, but sometimes they overdose on poison. This is easily detectable early on by skin discoloration (or in this case coloration) so it is rare for overdoses to be deadly. The cure is to 'dress like a Skirian' or, put on a lot of clothing.
Children are overly clothed and then progressively interduce to the sun to get them use to the poison to build a tolerance, or, sometimes the opposite, where people 'throw them into the fire' to build quicker tolerance. This is more common among the children of warriors and hunters.
They are some of the best healers in the world due to their knowledge of humanoid bodies (clear skin) and ability to work around volitile material.
Sharing poison between people to build a tolerance to each other is seen as a an intimate gesture, normally seen a romantic, though with how close communities can be the lines blur. Nim ritualistically drink the poison of another to show a bond deeper than anything in the world, beyond romance, sex, or brotherhood, because it shows vulnerability, their poisin is a nim’s greatest defense.
The inside of a Nim’s mouth is void black with red jaggedly sharp teeth around 1 and a half centimeters in length. Their tongues and teeth store a corrosive and deadly toxin. Within moments of contact affected skin will rot and fall off as the poison enters their system, and body systems will fail leaving them conscious and aware throughout until they finally die. Reportedly the toxin can cut through any material and is often sold for a lot of money, especially to Skira and the Fulcrum at full strength. (NOTE: Poison strength depends on exposure to the sun, from garter snake to alien blood).
However, most nim’s poison can only kill after a direct bite, with poisonous saliva and venomous glands in action, indirect contact will lead to skin discoloration and irritation, nails falling off, and fever, while direct contact with a weaker nim’s toxin will cause disorientation, weakness, fatigue, nausea, hair loss and bloody vomit, until eventual death with a high enough direct dose. Though it is still valuable as its effects are some of the most powerful.
Because of their deadly mouths, almost all Nim'ke wear specially enchanted masks that are provided for free by Luden, but are sold in Skira (notably for much cheaper than most enchanted things.) the nim are pretty well integrated with humans ever since the masks were made, normally w/non human species there isn't much discrimination in Vintreth but since nim are related to tricks, they get heavy discrimination by association in some places, so they are spread through deserts, Karkish, and populated cities.
Since their poisons would destroy dishes, Nim eat from floating amorphous blobs with food and drink suspended inside.
They live in Arin Desert. They're as intelligent as humans so they only really hunt like them, often using poison on speartips, in mele going in with a bite when possible is common.
Art, dance, and music are very important to their culture; floral patterns are also commonplace. Nim have few material possessions in case of storms. They wear either shades of black or white depening on their level of poison, with weaker nim wearing black to absorb more heat, and stronger wearing white to ensure they dont overdose.
Fennic foxes are common companions to hunting parties, with entire buildings dedicated to their care. And, large desert cats are much bigger with a need to be hunted around Nim settlements.
Nim worship Fás, and when small villages are built around oasis plants appear along the edges and bottom. This allows for nim food to be extremely spicy since they see using all of the plants as a show of worship, telling Fás her gift is well received.
The Sunstones are a group of six nim worshipped by the nim despite not being gods they were the origional leaders of the first established nim tribes. Favoring jewels and flowers, nim adapted floral patterned cloth (since they can’t engrave buildings due to how often they move) and uncut gems as a form of currency.
Nim’ke are very hard to find due to how often they move, being nomatic, however, they can be tracked down by the large carved temples they leave in their wake; a dedication to both Fás and the Sunstones and the only permenant building they erect.
Every nim wears an uncut sunstone somewhere on their person as a sign of respect to their ancestors, and leaders wear cut, and polished ones to show status.
Nim’ke tribes are generally run by a kingdom style family that controls everything. Each member having a different few things to look over with some overlapping duties; unlike a typical kingdom however, these leaders make sure to intigrate well with the community even as they guide them.
Vistuar Bugs infesting settlements are combated by the use of very sturdy, thick, triple locked doors that are barred at night; as nim settlements are so far apart they cannot warn eachother of the dangers of these bugs, so when one encampment learns to keep them away, the Vistuar move onto another group, and so on. The same thick metal used to make up nim’s masks is also used for their doors.

Hi Fai silly question, I think you answered before but HOw big do you headcanon all the boys to be/become (in comparison to Draxum himself)??
LOVE
I've definitely answered that question before but I'm also not going back in my archive to find it lol. (on a side note, did tumblr change how archiving works? because looking at anyone's archive is eating up my memory like crazy, and it absolutely has not done that in the other twelve years I've been on this website)
I mostly just add like 4-6 inches onto their canon height, (that's 10-15 cm for you and anyone else whose country follows a logical measurement system) because their canon heights are ridiculously short. I can't remember what April is supposed to be but I remember her literally being short enough to qualify for dwarfism. She is either at or nearly at her adult height and looks to be about average/slightly below average compared to her fellow high schoolers, so realistically she couldn't be that short. We also see Donnie being taller than most of April's classmates, who would be juniors or seniors and also at their adult heights, which makes no sense considering his canon height of 5'3. Or maybe that's normal for New York, I'm dimly aware that midwesterners are taller than average for some reason, (Nordic blood? Grains? The cold? who knows!) but I'm 5'5 and I'm somewhat short here.
Raph is canonically six feet tall, which is tall but not that tall, and he's shown to be a lot bigger than pretty much every human on the street. So I say he started off a bit taller. Plus it's been two years since the beginning of the show and the boys are still growing, (will be for a while, if Future Leo is anything to go by) so he's closer to seven feet now than he is to 6. He'll get very large. Into double digits, easily. Right now he's shorter than Draxum, but not by much. And obviously much, much heavier.
Donnie and Leo are pretty average-sized compared to human males of their age, but of course they're sill getting bigger while most boys their age are done growing. Gale is at least a foot shorter than Draxum, probably more he comes up to like his chest. They'll both end up pretty tall, but probably not as tall as Draxum.
idk whether Mikey would grow tall himself if he didn't cap himself off at the knees overusing his mystics or if he's just doomed to remain a shrimphead forever. He gets a pass on being tiny because mutant biology just be like that sometimes.

Tell me about the horses
OK FINALLY I CAN ANSWER THIS.
so. this is going to be Long cause im boutta copy and paste the entire lore and also the images from my friends discord channel
yeah so the idea started bc my friend and i were like zamn ok. what if we had gay cowboys and then the braincell went BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and i accidentlly invented an entire planet and ecosystem just to fit in some wacky alien horses. i have problems disease.
aNYWAYS so the planet itself is more or less a pangea-like construction, there's bascially just one continent bc i dont LIKE continental drift its MEAN and RUDE and messes up EVERYTHING.
the planet is farther away from its sun than earth / the sun is weaker, so it's generally much colder (like 30-40F year round bc i forgot how celsius works oops). still 100% livable for humans (so therefore colonized asap), but kinda cold ish so.
this climate is still pretty prime for grasslands- therefore alien HONSE bc i do what i want. btw. the honses are BIG boyes. like avg is a large van/small moving truck. theyre big.
the grasslands are home to a fairly complex ecosystem but we don't care aobut that, just the fact that there are decently sized predators that live in the long grasses (max size, toyota corolla or smaller). however theyre big enough that most cities, instead of bothering to settle down on the ground and have to build substantial defenses against these predator packs, just went 'hmm there's a solution to this, and this solution is GIANT ASS HOVERCRAFTS THE SIZE OF CITIES.' and so they rolled the fuck with it.
the problem with these is that not only to they have to be guarded from the grassland predators... there are also ALPHA predators. basically these are ultra mega insanely large creatures that roam the supercontinent, and they all are pretty much in agreement that a floating hovercraft city makes a nice healthy breakfast, however they HATE eating the honses as they're toxic to the alpha predators. so, the colonizing humans looked at em and went 'WHAT IF WE HAD MORE!!!' so now, every city has a giant herd of at least 30+ horses, and bigger cities can ahve up to 50.
no horses? you die! no hovercraft? you die!
orgot to mention the planet has no seasonal tilt lol, there's also some forest around the eqator where it's warmest, and the day is like 15/20 hours long yeah
yeah so. an entire fucking planet i invented just for some gay cowboys. 'wow rex' you say 'thats kind of excessive' oh just wait i did MORE
SO. despite there not being much precipitaion, everyone wears ponchos because changing outfits is hard and you NEVER get off the horse. ever. so you gotta carry it with you and i sure wouldnt want to carry more than like 2 outfits at a time. ponchos are practical solutions to every outfit problem ever
being a cowboy or the equivalent title is however really really prestigious, as theyre basically the ones keeping you and all the people you know alive so like you kinda want those yknow. you kinda get a free pass with everything in the city in your off season
(year is more or less the same by our reckoning, so most people would spend like 4-6 months escorting around the city, then 6-8 resting and doing stuff up top. some people train new horses full-time, but they don't usually escort full-time)
people who work on the fusion cores and propulsion systems also get similar treatment for bascially the same reason and ofc in the city people have all the usual jobs that you need to keep stuff running but yeah
cowbooys are just normal ass people. like humans. yeah the focus is the honses sorry i do waht i want
honse colors include but are not limited to normal horse colors and patterns, so while buckskin, bay, and grey are all common if your horse blue go tf off we love to see it
there's more lore about the actual gay cowboys and their horses also but the worldbuilding is the fun part in my opinion tbh.

What is a timelord's ideal environmental temperature range? Like humans feel comfortable between 66 and 75 (F) despite their internal temp being around 95-98. Since it can be assumed that timelords are comfortable at similar environmental temps to humans, how far does that range go? Since their normal body temp is around 60°, would they feel comfortable in warmer or colder temperatures than humans? Or is their range just bigger overall, like they'd be fine in a room that was 90° or 30°?
What is a Time Lord's ideal environmental temperature range?
Gallifreyans have much better thermoregulation than humans, meaning they can remain thermally comfortable in a wider range of environmental temperatures without their core body temperature changing that much.
🔥 Hot environmental temperatures
Most Gallifreyans are fine until the environment becomes 35°C/95°F, where their body will start compensating with basic homeostatic mechanisms.
35 to 42.2°C/95 to 108°F: Basic compensation (sweating)
42.2 to 50.1°C/108 to 122°F: Advanced compensation (more sweating and vessel dilation)
50.1°C+/122°F+: Damaging in prolonged periods w/o adjustment
🧊Cold environmental temperatures
When it comes to being cold, they are much better. They can feel comfortable in temperatures at 7°C in normal clothes, until it reaches around -5.3°C/41°F.
-5.3 to -11.6°C/22.6 to 11.1°F: Basic compensation (shivering)
-11.6 to -17.5°C/11.1 to 0.5°F: Advanced compensation (vasoconstriction and shivering)
-17.5°C-/0.5°F-: Damaging in prolonged periods w/o adjustment
🌋Extreme temperatures
They're also able to sustain particularly extreme temperatures for a short amount of time.
200°C+/392°F+: Sustainable for 7-10 seconds
-300°C-/-508°F-: Sustainable for 7 seconds to 6 minutes (with biological help)
Being in these temperatures are entirely recoverable if under 10 seconds. Long exposure to cold environments only works with the use of the respiratory bypass to maintain oxygen, but there may be lasting damage.
🌡️Biological temperatures
As mentioned, they run between 15-19°C/59-66.2°F as a normal body temperature. The Doctor has a normal body temperature of around 17°C/62.6°F, while Marnal is around 16°C/60.8°F. Their body temp is well controlled and shouldn't deviate by more than 2-3 degrees from their norm. Under 15°C/59°F~ is hypothermia, and over 19°C/66.2°F~ will cause heatstrokes etc.

Armored Core 6 1st Impressions
Hook it into my veins. HOOK IT IN TO MY VE--
I've been on the fence about Armored Core ever since Bloodborne got me into Fromsoftware's catalogue and I started playing mature games with higher difficulties for bigger gammer kids
Normally I don't care for any mecha media that strays into darkness and the horrors of war--yes, I was a bit of a dumb kid--but after some maturing, I gave it another shot. Soon enough I was hooked, but I when I got into AC I never thought I would be playing a new entry soon or enjoying it this much!
Perhaps it was Bloodborne's high difficulty and risk/reward gameplay loop or Devil May Cry 3's cathartic combination of challenge and style, but when I finally got to AC6 it clicked.
I've always liked games with heavy robots that combined fast movement with tense combat since I played Transformers War for Cybertron & Fall of Cybertron way back in the day (my first big T for Teen boy games, too!), so it does make sense.
Even better, one of the big draws for AC6 for me was how much it's landscapes reminded me of High Moon Studios' car-robot shooters--a vast expanse of machinery, constructs far beyond any human scale, and the backdrop of a dying but beautiful world. But AC6 surpasses that in so many ways thanks to both a unique setting with more organic touches, as well as Fromsoft's iconic attention to detail in regards to environments. I think it says something that Fires of Rubicon's titular planet is the first environment in a mission based game where I wanted to just wander around the planet forever.
I'm still getting a hold of the combat. It's much faster but also much less forgiving than even Bloodborne's was. Yet despite that sharp learning curve, the controls are adaptable and easy to memorize, movement starts to come naturally, combat is tight with gratifying SFX to boot, and a breadth of customization options to rival even (oooooh) Elden Ring's variety.
The best part about all that is how more than perhaps Kid Icarus Uprising or DMC3, AC6 is a game where i'm as eager as possible to replay old missions with new unlockables. The missions have straight forward objectives but how quickly and efficiently you can solve them is the challenge, and while this is no Phantom Pain (altho it does have a more palatable, if withdrawn take on "war is hell" but that's my squeamish take), the game rewards for your maximum efficiency in completing those objectives through its credit system. The less damage you take, the less ammo you use, or the more enemies you take out, the better your pay + mission rank. I'm already addicted to it.
Anyways you can thank @iamthekaijuking for giving me the last push I needed to make the impulse buy off ebay
I have nothing else intelligent to say so here's my first build



I based him partly on christmas candies because I liked the colour palettes, plus he's sweet but he didn't last long
#don't expect me to write a follow up to this i never do for these things#but I'm finishing every route and making all kinds of weird builds you bet you're ass#armored core vi#armored core 6#armored core vi fires of rubicon#ramblings of the critter#video games#first impressions#video game first impressions#review#I guess#transformers war for cybertron#transformers fall of cybertron#(tagging these as an indirect way to get people's attention)
