#I don't even like drawing attention to the fact I am bisexual

[obsoleteozymandias]

Hello! Mind if I yeet over a romantic matchup request for Twisted Wonderland?

I'm gonna go by 🍊. I'm a she/they demigirl and bisexual.

Appearance: I am South Asian with straight black hair and tan skin. I usually tie into two low ponytails because I think it looks cute, and I don't like the feeling of hair on the back of my neck. I am 159 cm tall and pretty scrawny

Personality: I like to say I'm a pretty cheerful and upbeat person. I try my best to smile through tough situations, though it can be hard sometimes. I also like to say I'm a family person, and I will do anything to protect them, and my friends. I am perfectionistic, but sadly I am a bit scatterbrained, much to the dismay of my parents and older sister. Hell, I almost burned the eggs I was making for the first time. I have been working on my organizational skills though, and I’m happy to say that I’ve come a pretty long way. I can be quite petty too. If someone wrongs me, I tell them either bad puns or horrifying facts for a period of time as revenge. I'm also good at math, so my friends come to me for help with that. Also, in almost every friend group I'm in, I somehow become a therapist friend. Lemme tell you, THAT really takes a toll on me. I also have a soft spot for unabridged fairytales (they high-key have me in a chokehold). Some more lil' factoids about me: I wear my hair in low ponytails because I don't like the feeling of hair on the back of my neck. My friends and family often told me my hands get pretty animated when I talk

Likes: Anime, drawing comics, video games, unabridged fairytales, sweets (my favourite dessert is caramel pudding) and spending time with my older sister

Dislikes: Cruelty, confrontation (I will kick butt if I need to, literally or figuratively), anyone who dares to threaten my friends or family, arrogance when it gets out of hand, black tea or coffee (I cannot drink it unless it is sweetened or if I have it with a LOT of milk)

👍👍👍

== Twisted Wonderland ==>

I match you with…

Floyd Leech 

You and Floyd pass one another often at first, though neither of you really notice the other. He’s too busy carrying out whatever scheme Azul cooked up, and you’re focused on your own business. 

But he happens to ask for your help on a math assignment (mostly out of his own laziness), and he quickly realizes that he should have been paying attention since he first saw you. 

Floyd and you are yin and yang. 

He’s obsessed with your relentless positivity, and whenever you smile at him it infects him like he’s the plague. He gets all smiley for the day and everyone gives him a wide berth. 

Where you don’t like confrontation, Floyd thrives on it. If anyone ever dares to mess with you, they’ll regret it within minutes. 

Floyd tries to do it subtly at first, so he won’t distress you, but when you’re in a relationship he’s very open about what he’ll do to someone who bothers you (with your permission, respecting your partner’s wishes are i important, even he knows that). 

Floyd’s there for you to cuddle at the end of the day, even if he doesn’t understand what you’re going through. It frustrates him when he can’t just squeeze your problems away, but he makes sure you know he’s there for you no matter what. 

Floyd loves playing video games with you, especially FPS games or horror games. He’ll also devour any sweets you make with a fevor unseen to any man before. 

Overall dynamic is perfect, sane person x offputting guard dog who is whipped for them.

Pride Month Character Sexuality Headcanon Moodboards 1. Yasmine - Lesbian 2. Demetri Alexopoulos - Gay 3. Moon - Bisexual 4. Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz - Bisexual

Part of a new series I'm doing for pride month where I make a pride flag moodboard for each cobra kai character (right now just the kids, but I might do the adults eventually) based on whatever sexuality I headcanon they are, and then I ramble about why I hc them the way I do!!! First up is Yas, because I'll be a lesbian Yasmine truther til the day I am gone from this earth and here's why:

Shows 0 interest in any and all potential male love interests prior to Season 3. Even Moon is a bit flirty with boys in Season 1 (First Rory at the pool party, then Hawk at the beach party). But Yasmine??? Pre-Demetri, she never seems romantically interested in boys.

On the subject of Demetri btw. It's actually very common for closet lesbian teens to choose a harmless-seeming guy to project all their romantic interest onto. (like!!! The sheer AMOUNT of notes this post has!!! This is not a rare thing!!!) This absolutely seems to be the case with Yasmine and Demetri in Season 4, since Yasmine is very suddenly into Demetri in this over-the-top, almost hammy way that feels very performative and disingenuous. Almost like she's trying to cover something up...?

For the vast majority of the show, but especially in S1, Yasmine noticeably seems to prefer the company of girls to the company of boys. In S1, her lunch table is all girls. The boys visit them sometimes, but they don't sit together. She also very rarely hangs out with boys outside of school. At big parties (like her birthday bash and the beginning of season pool party) there are boys around, but most of the time she's hanging with either Sam and Moon or just Moon. She's friends with Kyler, but the amount of time we see them actually hanging out is pretty minimal. He seems to be her only real guy friend.

On the topic of Kyler, though! The fact that Yasmine didn't ever get with Kyler after he and Sam broke up is actually very strange to me. Think about it: What better revenge against the two-faced ex-friend who was supposedly talking shit about you than to openly date her ex??? And considering how quickly Yasmine dropped Sam and took Kyler's side, I think she had to have thrown any "girl code" reservations to the wind. And Yasmine and Kyler were at the very top of the school food chain, so like. It's only going to help both their reputations for them to be a power couple. So why weren't they??? Considering how horny Kyler is constantly, I don't think he would have been against it at all. So that means Yasmine, who definitely had it in her power to date Kyler if she wanted, actively chose not to. Not even for clout or to keep up appearances. And given the look she had on her face when Demetri was hitting on her, she definitely wasn't holding out for him. So if Yasmine actively chose not to go out with the objectively best dating option she had available, it indicates to me that she doesn't really want to go out with boys at all.

Even in later seasons, Yasmine barely interacts with boys at all. In S3, we only ever see her talk to Demetri (who is ALSO a closet gay, hilariously). In S4 and S5, she interacts with Demetri's friends sometimes, but that's IT. This is in direct contrast with Moon, who we see flirting (or at least interacting) with a football player in S3 and who has such a wide social circle of both boys and girls that she's able to throw a MASSIVE house party in S5.

She doesn't even mention Demetri in S5! It's like she drops the act of being super "in love" with him as soon as he isn't physically there. The fact that her S4 "24/7 Demetri thirsting" self is a completely different character from her S1, S3, and S5 self further indicates that it's faked to draw attention away from where her attraction really is.

Canonically Demetri and Yasmine fight so much that Yasmine's arm is now completely weighed down with make-up bracelets (which she doesn't even have on when we see her, indicating she probably only wears them around Demetri). Them being that dysfunctional behind closed doors is a pretty stark contrast to what we saw in S4, and is just more evidence Yasmine's S4 behavior was a facade. Also begs the question, if they're truly just a Normal Straight Couple...why do they stay together when they clash that much??? One of the simplest explanations is that both of them just. Do not want to lose their beard. Yasmine especially, considering her decline in popularity left her with not as many dating options, and Demetri's one of the most harmless guys she could be fake-dating.

The "I know what it's like" cast-signing scene with Yasmine and Demetri is so queer-coded. Like think about it. Two people, both of whom have an unusually close attachment with their same-sex best friend, are bonding over how hard it is to be the subject of mass ridicule. Wedgies aside, what other type of ridicule would it be easy for these two to bond over??? And considering the dick-drawing-on-cast bit, Demetri's ridicule even had some implicit homophobia! So what does Yasmine do??? She writes "I, a girl, love your huge, masculine dick!" on his cast. Almost as a way of broadcasting to the world that they're both straight. When Yas says "much better" there's a kind of unspoken "we're both in the clear now." It's such a lovely gay friendship moment and Yas and Demetri have a very underrated platonic dynamic tbh.

Yasmine's raging crush on Moon is a whole essay in of itself, but the tl;dr of it is that Yas really did not have to forgive Moon or take her back after they fell out in S1. And yet not only does she rekindle her friendship with Moon in S3, but it also seems like part of the reason she changes for the better in S3 is because of Moon's influence! As far as we know, Moon was literally the only reason Yasmine ever made an effort to stop being awful. She also is basically never apart from Moon S4 onwards. Like every time Demetri and Yasmine have a scene, Moon is also there!!! Moon gets scenes without Yasmine (e.g. the cheerleading scene in 4x06, the tournament scene with Eli) but Yasmine almost never gets scenes without Moon and/or Sam. Sus.

Also Yasmine and Moon are so absurdly catty when Sam interrupts their weed-smoking date hangout in Season 1. And we're meant to believe they boot her out of the girl gang because she talked shit and was a slut (supposedly), but from how touchy they're getting at that concert...seems like they might have gotten tired of her third-wheeling?

Yasmine interrupts Moon and Hawk's S1 makeout sesh!!! She yells "Moon cmere!" and Moon leaves!!! Then she's still sulking in a jealous huff when Demetri goes over to hit on her later!!! Then she goes over to yell at Aisha when Moon and Hawk are right there being flirty, like. Girl is so gay and jelly it's out of control. She also tries to roast the shit out of Hawk in front of Moon. "Look!!! Look how much I'm the better option!!! Let's get out of here and away from any potential competition I may have!!!"

WAIT ALSO. The way Yasmine's ridicule was also a direct result of her trying to win Moon back??? And it all happened in front of Moon and (to her thinking) lowered Moon's opinion of her??? Adds a new layer to Yasmine saying "after the front wedgie thing, I know what it's like" to Demetri later!!!

Of COURSE she knows what it's like. She knows what it's like to fall for someone who decided they liked the Cobra Kai karate gang better than you, and not be able to get through to them in the moment it mattered the most. She knows what it's like to lose your best friend and get absolutely humiliated in the process.

In any case, it REALLY seems to be Moon and Hawk's interactions that send Yasmine over the edge during that party scene and get her the angriest. Interesting.

Generally speaking, the fact that Moon, who is canonically bisexual, is Yasmine's best friend is very telling. Any queer can tell you that queer kids always manage to find each other, even before they're out!!! Most queers who keep up with their high school and/or childhood friend groups will tell you that most of them are also LGBT. Yasmine's social circle consists of a canonically queer character and two heavily queer-coded characters (Demetri and Eli). Sam and Miguel are probably straight, BUT Miguel she only really hangs out with by proxy and Sam could be either the Token Straight (every queer friend group has one lmao) or a closet bisexual. Point being that with a largely queer friend circle, Yasmine's chances of being totally cishet are...not high tbh.

Just a random little detail and this is probably me wildin, but I find it funny that Moon laughs at Yasmine's little torturing Anthony joke in S5, but Sam didn't. My guess is that Sam is not amused because on some level (even if it's subconscious) she's worried Yas is serious, and is being a bit of a protective older sis. Moon though? She laughs at Yasmine's joke like the smitten simp she is because she knows the whole concept is too absurd to ever happen. BUT ALSO. It sounds a little like a knowing laugh. Like the mere concept of Yasmine being into guys or caring about them working out in the least is absurd. Maybe Moon knows Dem and Yas are faking a straight relationship to keep up appearances (if they confided it to anyone, it would be her!), and that's why she's not really bothered by Yas doing what would otherwise be the equivalent of stringing Moon's other friend along.

*Side note that I will make an exception to my Lesbian Yasmine truthing for Kyler Park and Kyler Park only. He's the only male character on the show she has even an iota of romantic chemistry with, and also the idea of her being "lesbian except for this one trashfire douchebag for some reason" is honestly too funny for me to resist XD Literally any other male character though??? I will start biting before I ship them with Yasmine, and them's the facts.

hey so, usually I don't really get involved in the fandom discourse/ship discourse, and while i agree on a good lot of your points (on one of the asks regarding crew members shoving in ships post), I do please implore you to be a bit more careful with your wording.

Bisexual people exist, and I think your sentiments are a little misplaced for at least two reasons (one being that bi people exist).

I DO understand your frustrations about m/f ships being paraded and held up as peak shipping especially in fandom spaces. Trust me, LMAO... I get it.

However as a mixed black and bi person your statements can definitely still be hurtful especially in regards to race (Willow is canonically Korean + voiced by a black/korean actress, but what matters here more is Willow's race).

I can't and won't speak for Asians BUT: I think it's pretty fucked up to still be upset at the possibility of Hunter and Willow being a thing without considering how nice it'd be to have another interracial ship/potential bi4bi ship, and a healthy one at that.

Please, I do implore you to consider that angle and PLEASE be more cautious with your wording in that regard ESPECIALLY because you are W H I T E. Hunter and Willow being a ship alongside the other canon ships will not be the end of the world. It is huge that we've already got two canonically LGBT ships and characters, and I don't inherently see an issue with another, at bare minimum, interracial ship even if it's m/f.

I promise I'm not trying to demean or talk down on you! I am just pointing out something I feel is important to consider when discussing things like this. Sorry for the long paragraphs, I wanted to be thorough and respectful!

I didn’t bring up anything to do with Willow’s race for that reason- I’m a white person and I don’t have any right to speak on that. I have many other problems with hunt//low aside from the ones mentioned in the last ask you’re referencing other than it being a forced m/f ship. Hunter is canonically implied bi through imagery and his VA, but Willow has yet to have any implication as to her sexuality other than the fact that we’ve actually seen her blush as girls in show and never at any male or masc characters. Only once in that ask did I say “het” and it was along side “or m/f” because it’s referencing fandom culture as a whole, not specifically Willow and Hunter. And more so, I specifically worded it like that to include bisexual people as well. This is the last blog you’ll find biphobia or bisexual erasure on, I can promise you that. My issue is that fact that hunt/low is being obsessed over more than canon lgbt ships that are f/f or nb/f because that’s a way more serious problem than understanding that yes, hunt/low would inherently not be “straight” because Hunter is bi. And more of my issues than that with hunt/low is the bad writing of the “ship” in the first place.

Thank you for drawing attention to the concerns about it being an interracial ship, but I have yet to see anyone say anything to the people that hate lumity in regards to it being a canon interracial ship.

Hey, I saw that you were doing house of the dragons matchups and I was wondering if I could get one!! I don't mind if the character I get paired with is a man or woman but if you do not mind can you write for both; If those don't follow your rules then that is perfectly fine.

I go by she/her but every once in a while I’ll have a gender identity crisis. I am also bisexual.

I have black hair that ends a little bit below my shoulders but I'm planning on cutting it because I can't stand my hair being too long. I have tan skin, black eyes, measure to about 5 feet 3 inches, and I am Hispanic. I am curvy and kinda strong, however on certain days those things could be my biggest enemy. My favorite part of me lookwise is my beauty marks( they are both on my face except one is on my upper left cheek directly under my eye and the other one is in the middle. 

Personality wise I would consider myself outgoing but somewhat isolated. I’m not necessarily shy, in fact, at certain times I would consider myself brave. I’m a talker but the things I say aren’t really what I feel or think; I just say them to keep the conversation going. Almost everything makes me laugh and I get along with almost everybody. I really care about what people think of me although I pretend I don't. I’m a deeply emotional person who is kinda hard headed and I’m very direct when I think people are wrong. Recently (probably because I'm in a mood) I've been very bold. Aside from that I’m sensitive and overthink which has led me to make lots of mistakes. I consider myself generous and affectionate and I like to compliment people and make them feel happy. I have a few mood swings and in some moments I'm pretty strong to get through them but I could easily adapt to anything.

I really like the outdoors but I really do not enjoy being in those environments when I'm in a mood or with a certain group of people. I like to take care of others although I would really like it if people took care of me. I enjoy taking leadership roles but that only if I really want to do it or if no one else wants to. I enjoy books, music, writing, and really any form of art. I hate being the center of attention and would just enjoy being with people that I'm comfortable with. I truly would really like it if people remembered me for my bravery and taking care of others. I tend to get very isolated and just leave the situation even when I'm in a small group but I always eventually come back.

My hobbies are writing and listening to music. Those two things make me the happiest and help me feel less alone. I also enjoy taking care of children (mostly because that is my job). I Love spending time with my friends and going to shows. I enjoy walking and taking pictures or drawing.

I’m sorry if this was so long and if the request was closed and I just happened to miss it. I would really be grateful if you make the matchup but if you can't then it’s perfectly fine. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a good day!!

I match you with Ser Harwin Strong…

and…

I actually think the slashshipping/Migratory Slash Fandom thing is kind of smallfry compared to a lot of problems, it's not like I want to be spending my time fingerwagging at other people. It's a personal journey of figuring out what you like and why

It's just annoying that it's the apparent standard and the rest of us are making do with those boring icky female characters. Or like, for me growing up in fandom, slashfandom was all there was.

And it was really weird to be fingerwagged at by other people, for years, for shipping Reylo because it has a female character - enemies-to-lovers is only okay if it's two guys, because it doesn't matter if they hurt each other.

Like WHAT are you fucking smoking.

But then they hide behind defences of like, well actually slashshipping is a thing because female characters aren't written well/it's hard to relate to women in fiction because you want to flee harm done to women/female sexuality is gross and men having sex is hotter/you're a homophobe if you don't slash-ship/ad infinitum so it's completely and utterly impossible to have a real conversation.

How does Rey, who's the protagonist, have less development than Hux in TFA? What's the explanation here? There's clearly something else going on. Just formulate your arguments honestly and properly.

I think I'm thinking about this issue because I engage in a lot of fandom voyeurism, and this ongoing conflict is still everywhere. It hasn't changed, the same issues are being rehashed, but there's some fingerwagging of like 'u guise are misogynists 4 not liking female characters' 'understood, let me write some lip service in the background' and it does nothing to solve the debate, because that's not the right approach.

And to be quite honest, I bought into that whole thing about female characters aren't written well etc. when I was younger. Then I listened to my intuition and I realised actually, it was all bullshit. It was seriously all bullshit. For my own personal journey of trying to be less resenting of my sexuality, slash had hurt me, Reylo didn't. I have extreme, profound and severe discomfort surrounding the existence of sexual attraction/desire because of my anorexia (to all genders, and no just to be clear I've never experienced sexual abuse; it's because I associate sexual attraction with being at a healthy weight and existing) and I'm not kidding when I say reading Reylo erotica literally helped me lol, characters making love actually made me feel better about the virulent disgust I hold towards myself. All of that bullshit about female desires being gross was bullshit, being a homophobe was bullshit - how does my shipping politics remotely make me a better person? How does slashshipping reflect my own bisexuality?

I don't want to be the Fandom Police. That's boring. That's so, so, so boring and tiresome. But I do think that slashshipping has priority and is taken more seriously than anything else in most fandom, and the most important takeaway should be actually listening to and trying to engage with the things you're interested in.

Fandom has been a beloved hobby for me since I was about ten. I started really young. As polarising as Reylo was, it was the most fun I've ever had, and continues to be fun with Knightfall. Find your bliss!!! It may not look the same as me at all, too.

i've already written the basic rundown of how timain/vinta happens (though it might have changed a little bit since then. their story is a growing thing), so here's the story of aljanah/orym/navimir, or at least how it looks in my head currently!

- i probably hardly need to introduce Aljanah again, but he's the youngest prince of iphimery, he's flirty and horny and doesn't want any responsibility ever. he is every bad bisexual and aromantic stereotype - he wants all the fun and none of the commitment. important author's note: there's literally nothing wrong or bad about sleeping around and not being in or wanting a relationship. prince aljanah kinda sucks, but it's mostly because of the questionable power dynamics involved and the ways he draws people in and leaves them on read. like, it's no fun if the others don't wanna, and most of the time they do wanna, but how do you reject a prince? especially a prince that seems to put everyone under some kind of spell because he's just Very Pretty and Very Charismatic? and it's like, when you have a huge crush on someone and it just makes you really stupid and you just want to be super available to them constantly even though they don't put a FRACTION of that emotional energy into whatever your relationship is? and you're just hanging on forever, hoping that MAYBE, SOMEDAY, - which leads us to Orym. local bisexual disaster and court mage, son of the captain of the guard. he is a very sweet young man! growing up in the castle alongside the royal family, he's known prince aljanah for his entire life and is arguably what you could call his closest friend, as well as his tutor in magic. has he been pining for the prince this entire time? oh, you know it. i mean, it's already hard enough to be bi when you're surrounded by beautiful royals who are also your friends (princess adhila kissed him on the cheek one day and he has never recovered from it), and it's even worse when you fall a little too hard for prince aljanah, who is definitely willing to give you physical closeness you could want but will crawl out the window of his own room rather than acknowledge any emotional bond. - (i mean it's, Difficult, when you just do not do the romantic love thing, it's not something you can force, and even if you Could it doesn't mean you can reciprocate everyone, and like. what are you supposed to do about it? it's not your fault people feel the way they do.) - orym's heart is just so big and tender and he just, follows aljanah lead like a lovesick puppy for years, no matter how many times his heart gets a little broken with every unspoken rejection, because it's better than nothing, right???!!! he can't even IMAGINE rejecting aljanah, and aljanah never rejects him outright either, because y'know. he likes having orym around. he likes having a lot of people around... - like timian. orym can only watch timian getting tangled along into aljanah's web. orym feels AWFUL and he HATES timian and AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! all that INSECURITY and JEALOUSY he doesn't know how to aim at aljanah, gets twisted into a lot of petty behaviour and hostile stares towards timian. hard to say why timian of all people presses his buttons so much, when it's hardly the only other person aljanah flirts with. maybe it has to do with how much of himself he sees in timian, whos' just, really kind and good and earnest, or the fact that aljanah actually has to put in quite an effort - unstoppable force (aljanah's charm), meet immovable object (timian's Sense of Duty). WHY DOES HE GET THE ATTENTION AND EFFORT AND NOT ORYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG!!!!!!! - obviously all the emotions and pettiness comes to a head one day. i don't know who is the first to confront the other, if orym just finally loses it, or if timian can only put up a Shield of Niceness for so long before he has to ask OKAY WHAT'S YOUR DEAL. WHAT AM I DOING THAT IS UPSETTING YOU SO MUCH. probably a combination of both. probably during a sparring match - orym might be the castle mage, but his mother always wanted him to be her successor and so he trains with the royal guards a lot. he's avoided sparring with timian ever since he got there, to the point it was just getting weird, and he's one of the best fighters there and so is timian and everyone kinda pushes them into it for their

betting pools. it's during this confrontation they realize both of them have absolutely hopeless crushes on prince aljanah and neither of them know how to deal with it and WHY IS ALJANAH LIKE THIS!!!! HOW DID HE CURSE THEM!!!!!!!! - in an unexpected twist of events, orym finds himself bonding with timian over this. it's the first time he ever admits, even to himself, that maybe aljanah is kind of a jerk. a little bit. that if he didn't want to be with orym That Way he should just say it, instead of keeping him around at his beck and call. he no longer feels bad about timian, or at least not as much, because timian is genuinely Nice, and he is finally able to see why everyone else likes him so much. timian also finds it very easy to talk to orym after they crack open that cask of vulnerability and unspoken feelings, and tells him a lot of Tragic Backstory things he hasn't told anyone else Ever. they end up becoming very close friends! - and poor orym whose big loving heart has yearned for an intimate emotional connection his entire life, can't help but fall for timian. OOPS!!!!! - maybe if things had gone differently, maybe timian would have felt the same. but timian was already caught in a strange emotional hurricane of letting go of his crush on aljanah, nursing a crush on someone else, and the complicated process of reclaiming his own heart and accepting his desires. so when orym manages to confess that he actually really really likes timian Not Just As A Friend, timian is caught off guard - but very kindly rejects him. - the rejection stings, of course, and he needs some Time, but... it unlocks something in orym. a closure. he and timian are still good friends, but the limit has been drawn, and it's like - it's okay. it's surviveable. things are awkward but still good. most importantly, he learns that aljanah is not all there is. he can have a life beyond him!! maybe he, too, can reject aljanah. and so he does!!!!! IT'S HARD BUT HE DOES IT. - here goes a block of time where both aljanah and orym grow a little bit as people. orym is building up his self respect and newly won heart independence - of course he still has feelings for aljanah, but he has broken the spell that kept him pining and yearning and willing to drop everything at the drop of a hat for him. he finds the time to do more things for his own sake, and form new and meaningful connections. - aljanah, who has never had to deal with rejection before, has been rejected by both timian AND orym. he was not in love with either of them as such, but he doesn't... Know?? how to deal with this??? two people he liked a whole lot are suddenly Unavailable????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A BOUNDARY. WHAT'S A BOUNDARY. EXPLAIN HOW I CROSS THIS BOUNDARY PLS?? OBVIOUSLY I SHOULD BE AN EXCEPTION I'M THE PRINCE??? and he just, gets nowhere. he's at a complete loss until he finally manages to confront the fact that if he wants someone's loyalty, it HAS to be a two way street. no, he does not have to do the romance thing, but any meaningful relationship is going to need some commitment and honesty. that way he might even... find someone who wants the same kind of arrangement as he does??? FOOD FOR THOUGHT. - it's after orym levels up that he meets Lady Navimir. he still has a lot of character development to undergo, as that is a journey with no end - but when he meets the temple priestess and inevitably falls in love almost immediately, at least he feels secure enough in himself that he won't hinge his entire feeling of worth on her reciprocity. navimir does actually like him a whole lot - he IS very handsome, sweet, and worships her just the right amount without sacrificing his own self respect. and that's important to her, as a servant of the goddess of sacrifice. besides, they're both huge nerds about magic and enjoy the occasional late night conversation with the enthusiasm cranked up to the max. - they've been a couple for a while when orym admits to just how bad he's had it for prince aljanah basically his entire life, and that he loves navimir So Much but he

still has feelings for aljanah (and timian, too. everyone he's been a little bit in love with. he doesn't know how to not love so much). he's apologetic, but navimir is like Hold On, This Is Interesting. Could You Mayhaps Introduce Me? Only If You Would Be Okay With It Course. -orym obviously didn't cut aljanah off from his life entirely, they live in the same castle, but he made sure to keep magic tutoring strictly professional. their friendship kinda fluctuated for a bit, for a while it was almost gone completely. but as they grew up a bit, they were both able to be a better and more honest friend to one another. it's during a very surprising moment of vulnerability that aljanah actually apologizes for the way he's treated orym, how he mourns the loss of what they had but knows it wasn't gonna work out like that forever, how he cannot stand the idea of being tied down (figuratively. ropes are fine), and how he doesn't really know where to go from here. - so when the opportunity presents itself, orym brings aljanah and navimir together. now, navimir is a very emotionally secure person who takes zero bullshit and pretty twinks like aljanah are a dime a dozen to her, so she is basically immune. they get along great - aljanah is basically smitten with her immediately (she has that effect. how's that feel, princeling?), and navimir definitely enjoys his company, especially now that he's less of a jerk than he used to be. - the establising of the new relationship grounds goes a little awkwardly to begin with, but they do figure out an arrangement that works for all three of them. aljanah still doesn't do the romantic love thing, and he still gets to do, uh, things with other people, but he becomes devoted to the triad in his own way that makes sense for him and does not feel like a prison. orym still has a lot of Heart Emotions but no longer pours all of them on aljanah. navimir has two boys who absolutely adore her to bits and she gets to bully a prince which is fun. IT WORKS anyway that's how the polycule came to be. i should probably come up with a practical name for it, like the castle polycule or something.

We don't talk much about the fact that Misha always says his favorite episode is *Everybody hates Hitler* the famous bi panic episode. I am not saying cockles but cockles. I mean he wasn't even in the episode but he says its his favorite everytime, even in the last France convention he said this. Boy I'm now imagining misha in place of aaron and Jensen's bi panic.

holy shit why have I never heard that that’s misha’s favourite episode?! do you have a link to him talking about it???

that is VERY interesting because I’ve always felt that episode is the first spn ep where the writers make a conscious decision to draw attention to dean’s bisexuality?? I mean, yes, there were a shit ton of hints dropped before (and don’t even get me started on all the destiel scenes), but always in a way that could (wrongly) be explained away as “subtext”. idk, “everybody hates hitler” just struck me as being written in a way that very deliberately drew attention to dean’s sexuality for the first time, purposely made the viewer think about it. for me, it was the episode that made dean’s bisexuality text instead of subtext. 

so to hear that’s misha’s favourite episode says a LOT. I mean, we all know he ships destiel, so I guess it’s not surprising in one sense that he likes an episode that makes it clear dean could definitely return cas’s feelings, where the show actually acknowledges that. but idk, I think you’re right, I think this isn’t just about destiel, it’s about bisexuality and bi panic generally. which, naturally, does make me think things about cockles and jensen’s relationship with dean’s sexuality on the show...

L (for the alphabet ask game!!)

hello hello!!! finally answering this!

anyway thank you for the ask, because now i get to talk about one of my oldest OCs that i have and still use :')

for L.... i have a few options, but i'll go with my mans Lincoln!

[Image Description: A picrew of my OC Lincoln, a man with pale skin and long, dark hair that hangs past his shoulders and a short dark beard. He has heavy bags under his eyes and dark scars on one side of his face. He has one eyebrow raised and is frowning. Lincoln's ears are pointed and he has a gold earring, and he's wearing an open black jacket. Behind him is a series of white squares overlaying the bisexual and non-binary flags. End ID.]

this is my boy lincoln orion!! i have some art of him but i want to change his design a little again so for now i'll share a picrew of my special guy <3 lincoln is one of many ocs of mine that i struggle to make in picrews but that's okay

ANYWAY lincoln is an oc i made when i was like 12 or so and he's so so important to me, even if i don't think about him as much as i used to. he's a bitch and i like him so much.

the original premise behind lincoln, whose name used to be spelled linkin b/c i was a huge fan of linkin park growing up (still am, don't @ me), is that he was a mutant fella created via illegal human experimentation. (side-note, how many of y'all had ocs like that at some point? because i feel like that's a weirdly common oc premise.) why? good question! but he's here!

lincoln has changed and evolved a ton over the years as i've refined him into a more rounded and interesting character, and even if i don't pay as much attention to him as i used to he has a special place in my heart.

i want to. bring him back somehow. maybe throw him in a proper story.... gonna have to think about that.

anyway i'm tired and about to head to dinner so uH real quick rapid-fire lincoln facts:

his original design had wings but i hated drawing them and figuring out how he'd wear clothes with them, so i got rid of them. however, i didn't just say "no wings now," i wrote it into his original story that his wings were removed. owie!

he exists in kind of a vague setting i've done a little worldbuilding for with mutants and regular humans existing alongside each other, but that one needs some rehauling honestly-

he's a prime example of "sometimes i have cis ocs but if i think about them long enough they stop being cis." he can be a little non-binary. as a treat.

one of the oldest pieces of digital art of mine that i have saved is actually a drawing of lincoln's original design! if people want to see that i'd be down to share it as like a comparison <3

he has a lot of tattoos that i always forget how to draw

i originally created him to be a background character in an rp my friend and i were doing on feralheart, and then i got attached to him so i kept him.

Can I have a match up from Harry Potter and twilight? This is what I look like (I don't care if you show the photo and my Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff btw)

Age: 19

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: bisexual (leans more towards males)

Personality:I don't talk to people I don't know usually and can seem shy but once I get to know them a can be talkative and a little bit loud. I don't really hate people unless they give me a reason too. I don't get annoyed or mad easily. I make dark jokes sometimes there directed to myself. I try to be supportive of my friends but if I know what they're doing is stupid than one will call them out on it. I'm really into the emo style. I do suffer from anxiety and depression, I also am touch starved. I'm usually nice to people unless they give me a reason not to be.

Hobbies: reading, drawing, watching anime/tv shows, writing, painting, going on late night drives, and going on walks.

Likes: anime, art, music, nightmare before Christmas, harry potter, the colors black and purple also green alot, scented things, candles, Halloween, fall weather, animals, and fuzzy blankets.

Dislikes: spiders, super hot weather, liar's, blend food, and people who can't clean up after themselves

Damn you sound like someone I’d get along with super well ahah! You’re very much my kinda person

Harry Potter - Sirius Black

For Harry Potter I ship you with Sirius!

He usually does most of the talking anyway, so it no one really notices if you’ve gone quiet because you don’t know the person or your anxiety is kicking in, in fact if he does notice this he will start bringing all the attention away from you to try help

He doesn’t really mind too much when you get loud around him, and he’s 100% a touchy kind of person, he shows affection through physical content so he’s always touching you no matter what, whether it’s cuddling in bed, hand holding on public, his leg against yours or hugging you while you’re doing something

Though he has a bad boy reputation, he’s actually a softie, he has soft fuzzy blankets and jumpers for you to take, and he’s even got a fluffy blanket of the nightmare before Christmas on his bed just for you, and he’s got the movie too

I fully believe that he hates spiders so don’t count on him to get rid of them however, though he’ll pick you up and runaway from it

Twilight - Carlisle Cullen

He’s a gentle kind of person, so painting, reading, writing are all his kinds of things, he loves being there when you do them

He’s never seen the nightmare before Christmas so you do have to show him it, but he’ll buy you little things revolving around it

If you want a late night walk he’s there to go with you and keep you safe, and he’s also there to help you with mental health too

Because you like animals he decided to get you a pet, and he also decided to get his for his place just for you to sit and look at when it’s too cold to go outside

Since he’s always cold fuzzy blankets are a must, he’ll cover you up with one when it’s freezing outside and let you lay on him to fall asleep, and he’ll cover you up with another after

He doesn’t eat human food so sometimes it’s a bit bland, but he lets you add any spices or anything you’d like when cooking

My top 10 in advance of the final

so. i've finally written and thought about my actual top ten songs going into the final. i've actually also compiled my top 40 and my tops for the semis, but that's a bit late now. i'll do them in advance of next year though!

so, here, with comments, is my top ten for the final

1 - DE DIEPTE - an amazing song, by an amazing artist. i'm british but very into the dutch alt-pop scene (a joke scott and rylan made on tuesday) and when S10 was announced i was so excited. this song is everything i wanted and more - she's changed her style to suit a wider audience, and the da-da-da-da oeh-oeh aa-aa really brings in non dutch speakers, essential for this competition.

2 - MEÐ HÆKKANDI SÓL - wasn't too keen on the first listen (morning of sunday 13th march) but by the evening of the monday i was obsessed. amazing meaning behind the lyrics, and icelandic is such a lovely language to listen to. when this was announced as a qualifier i almost screamed (had to not tho as i was in the queue for a club) as i had prepared for the worst.

3 - LIGHTS OFF - one of the first entries to be released back in december. i had covid at the time, was on day 8 of 10 of isolation, and this buoyed me through the last two days. a great dance bop, the revamp arguably isn't as good but i love the pause before the chorus. she's improved a lot as a singer as well, literally screamed when this qualified, amazing song.

4 - IN CORPORE SANO - watched it, was bemused, watched again, watched again, looked up the lyrics, obsessed. amazing concept, almost performance art, i cannot get enough of this. look up the rest of her triptych, it's amazing. the other songs are called nobl and mekano, and the fact she entered the serbian national selection only to broaden her songs' reach, not intending to win, is iconic.

5 - HOLD ME CLOSER - i don't really have much to say here, it's just a very good song. a powerful chorus? maybe that's what draws me into it and separates it from other ballads for me.

6 - SENTIMENTAI - lithuanian is a beautiful language and it's amazing to finally have a song in it in the final. the older feeling of the song lends it an elegance and from everything that i've seen monika is an icon. i'm mostly excited about the lithuanian, but it's a song that i can't help swaying to. again i was thrilled when this qualified as it was borderline

7 - FULENN - i am in love with this devil-summoning masterpiece. something different from france, and in one of their marginalised langauges, really make this stand out. i particularly like the vibration-esque part of the second chorus, after the "tria' a ra ar c'haoud". great to have some celtic language representation as well, it's a travesty that we've (in the uk) never sent a welsh entry.

8 - TRENULEŢUL - this is another one which came out fairly early. i can't help bopping along to this and i really hope it does well in the final. it's such a jolly song with a serious meaning behind it, and the music video is so fun. not sure what i think of the slight revamp - i will still listen to the original - but i understand why it was revamped for the stage.

9 - SNAP - a non-offensive song with a great staging (that's unaffected by the broken sun). i didn't really pay attention to this until the second rehearsal on youtube, but i really do like it. maybe not something i'll still be listening to in a year, but definitely one i want to see do well.

10 - LLÁMAME - a nice surprise qualifier from thursday. the song definitely works better when you can see it being performed, but nonetheless it's a great song, with great choreo, and we love us some bisexual representation.

in case anyone is interested, my original top ten was the netherlands, iceland, czechia, slovenia, serbia, sweden, latvia, croatia, lithuania and france. semi one was particularly painful - i'd like to have seen thirteen of those songs through (but only seven from semi two)

judge me as you will, and enjoy the final!

Hello, thank you for requesting!

I match you with:

Link!

Partners in crime.. lol

Pre calamity

You two met before he became Zeldas knight, you two were probably childhood friends, always at each others side.

You're close to being the only person he actually talks to, the duties that have been bestowed on him, it's a lot and you understood that.

Links knows you have no filter, and you probably never intend to, your not scared to call people out when they're doing something dumb and he loves that about you..

He knows that your usually joking about the "dark jokes" you make.. and they can be pretty funny at times! but sometimes.. it can be a bit too much.. when it does get to that point he'll elbow you softly and shake his head, he doesn't want to say anything, but he'll call you out on it.

Link never paid much attention to the fact you were into witchcraft or whatnot, it confused him in a way, but he never told you to stop what you were doing or thought of it as being weird, he's quite interested in it actually, when he's out he'll find different crystals and collect other types of herbs to see if you like them

He knows he can't bring you with him and Zelda when they go out to the different springs and such.. and he knows you can take care of yourself, though he doesn't like being away from you too long. It's weird to him, you two were always by each other's sides when you were younger and even now.. so before he leaves, he'll try to spend time with you.

-going on walks

-sitting with you whilst you read to him

-watching you draw

You two can sit in silence and he'll still cherish that moment, it's like a break from life, from all his duties.

He tries to always be of help to you, knowing you get mad when he doesn't.. he'll clean up after himself, make you different potions and food for you.

Speaking of.. you're his taste tester, Link loves cooking for you but never has time to do so because of his role, the only times he does cook is when he and zelda have to make camp somewhere, making dinner for the both of them. But your not there.. so, before he leaves.. REALLY early in the morning. He'll make you breakfast and make sure it's nice and warm. Sometimes the things he makes is new to you, but hey, it's always delicious.

Thanks for reading!

[robin-the-enby]

Hey! I love your matchups and I really want one with on the black butler characters.

I am ISTJ and even though I was born in America I come from a Mexican family. So I am fluent in Spanish and English. Along side of Mandarin Chinese (still learning) and Japanese (still learning)

Appearance wise, I have olive skin, long wavy/curly hair that reaches my tailbone (i like putting it in side braid). I also have long bangs that quite often fall over my glasses. And just too lazy to move them. I also have dimples when I smile. I will bite anyone who try poke them.

Personality: I can get hard to know at first because I have trust issues (my heart has been broken okay) . Not too mention people don't try to get know me because of my major Resting Bitch Face. They think I am judging them or that I am scary. But I am not... I am attentive so I will stand up for myself and anyones else. I am patient. Also, after you get to know me you will realize I am a chaotic crackhead with a melodramatic persona. Like "your star is here!" "The stage is calling for me. Move out of my way" "the spotlight is on me so could you move you crusty face?" I like to tease and flirt with the people I am close to. I zone out or daydream a lot. And in the worst times. It could be a serious meeting and I am chuckling because of something in my head. Which have scared people. It could be during a conversation and I will stop listening. But I will always feel bad and apologize.

I also like to scare people. Like tell them the unsolved cases or horrific cases that I know (I love unsolved cases) . This is also why my little siblings hate me. Turns out talking kids murder cases and disapperinv cases was not appropriate for bed time story... woops.....

I like to pop out of nowhere and either flick or playfully punch my friends and say boo. I do accidentally roast people. I don't think before I say things. And don't realize until hours or days later. And I am like "shit"

I am sarcastic and that has gotten me in trouble before. My friend asked for my advice and I didn't know she was being serious. So I gave her a sarcastic advice and she came back to me mad. I was like "shit you believed me?"

Likes/hobbies: i like my anatomy class and I like to read, write, meditate (because I get stressed a lot). I really like to dance and listen to music. Which my music taste is everywhere: Kpop, classical music, jazz, jpop, Spanish songs, rock, metal. Every music genre except for country. I like to play the violin.

My passion lies in the arts and crafts. I would like to do illustration and photography. More specifically street fashion photography and and event photography. Like weddings and funerals. Yes funeral photography does exist and I will like to do it. Since it is also special event. I draw a lot of portraits and landscapes. I have been told that my art is either scary or mysterious. Though I can get a little caught up with my passion. I practice to get better with no rest.

Flaws/toxic traits: I am not empathetic or sympathetic. People always thought I didn't care about my friend's issues. I do i just don't understand them. My compassion does make up for this and will give advice. My other flaw, is the high walls I build to protect myself. I am there for other people. But people were never there for me. People have manupliated me and that cause me trust issues. I don't know how to handle negative emotions like depression, anxiety, self doubt, procrastination. So I just isolate myself in these moods. They really take a toll on me and make me think I can't do my passions. I am afraid of commitment because of toxic relationships i had before.

Love language: I am not obvious with affection. (Because no one ever gave me it). I show it through my teasing and flirting. My love language is however Act of Service. I will help my s/o with anything they need. Chores, work, advice, etc. Sort of the mom of my friend group. But a Savage mom as I have been told. "Stop crying, here I made you a cookie" "do I need to hurt someone" "don't worry I can get coffin with a lock in it". I am also an aggressive supporter. Like "No YOU are beautiful. YOU are gorgeous!" (This happened when someone gives me affection and time try to turn the attention to them as way to hide my fluster)

I will call my s/o like "stupid" "idiot" but in a endearing way. Okay. Occasionally I will use "beloved" and "Cariño/cariña"

I am not good receiving verbal affection or physical affection. I was never given affection so I am not used to it. I will start blushing and stop working. I will also probably say "idiot" or turn the attention to them like "no.. u" but I think fails because I am terrible at hiding my blush. I get easily flustered with affection okay. But I won't ever admit that I like it. Though it is obvious.

Sexuality: i am bisexual so it doesn't matter what gender I am paired up with.

Funt fact i guess?: I love small plants, plushies, and banana milk. Like I have hundreds of different kinds of plants and they each have their own name. Like GGmo, Lily, Melody, Edward. I love Banana milk as I said. I drink it every evening. It always get me happy so when I am sad or had a bad day. I drink banana milk and I am happy. It is also to make up for my coffee addiction. I am addicted to coffee. My friends said no coffee and I was like fine banana milk then :)

This is getting long now... bye.

I'm glad that you like my matchups, I'm trying my best tbh😅 I match you with:

Sebastian Michaelis

Sebastian is very curious in nature, so he definitely wants to know what you're really like, not the front you put on.

He's also very charming when he wants to, he makes it very easy to open up to him and get comfortable around him.

Sure, he, as a demon, doesn't really care much for humans, so when he doesn't have to play the polite, kind butler, he probably has a RBF as well, however, I think that changes when he's interacting with someone he loves.

His sweet words may have been a mask at first, so he could see the real you, but the closer you two become, the more he means every word of praise, encouragment or comfort he utters.

He would most certainly be amused by your crackhead self once you do get comfortable around him, but it's not really his vibe. He wouldn't scold you for being loud, brash or inapropriate, like he does the other servants.

If he's in a really good mood or when the situation calls for it, he can be dramatic as well. Sometimes he'd do it just to get on Ciel's nerves XD

One big pro of being with Sebastian is that he lets you off the hook a lot. If he was talking to anyone else and they'd space out, oh honey, he would stare them down so hard, it's sending chills down my spine just thinking about it. But if it's you it's like a complete 180, Sebastian can't possibly be mad at you, everyone spaces out sometimes, those things just happen.

The other servants make sure to be on your good side so that you could intercede with him on their behalf.

You can't scare him with your true crime stories, but you sure as hell can scare the others. And you can bet your ass Seb's gonna help! The plan is: You tell the story and then he's gonna pop up out of nowhere behind them, giving them mini heart attacks.

If you try to scare him though, you'll need to be on guard 24/7 until he gets you in return. And even if your on guard all the time, he finds a way to scare the life out of you.

Your humor is practically the same, I mean, Sebastian is great at off handed remarks/roasts and sarcastic comments that you have to look for to really see them. You two could be talking shit about anyone and everybody would be like "Oh yeah, normal conversation, yes"

Sebastian would love to dance with you. And trust me when I say this, he is good at any type of dance. If you two are ever at a ball, prepare your feet, because he's not gonna let go of you the whole night (unless his master is in danger of course).

He would be your #1 supporter, he'd go with you out to take photos, and if you asked him to look at some, he'd take a good long look at each and every one of them and describe in detail how he feels about them. Also would go to any art shows you'd host if it came to it.

When it comes to sympathy and empathy, Sebastian also has a hard time showing these feelings. He's been alive for far longer than any human on Earth and he's a demon. He's never had any of the problems humans have, so naturally he doesn't kniw what it feels like to have them. Plus, before you came into his life, he didn't care much for them either.

However, he's gonna be there for you whenever you need him, emotionally or practically, even though he doesn't get your feelings.

You both have walls put up, you because of bad past experiences, him because as a demon, he has major issues with being vulnerable in any way. And I'm not talking just emotionally here, but demons are almost undestroyable, yet they have very few weaknesses that they just need to hide away.

It's rare Sebastian has a problem, but even if he had, you wouldn't know, because he thinks you, as a human, wouldn't understand and so he won't burden your mind with it. However, he's very perceptive and so if your behaviour changes, be it due to anxiety or a depressive episode, he'll know.

Now, he's not the type of person to try and break down your walls by force, but in situstions like these, where he's not sure how to help, you gotta talk to him and he won't leave you alone until you tell him how he can help.

He's not above carrying you around and doing everything for you until you're embarassed enough to tell him

He is very appreciative of your help around, since the other servants are good at everything but what they're supposed to do.

You with your tough love and Sebastian with his teeth rotting compliments and affection, it'd be honestly really funny to watch. He adores how you show affection, because it's different from most people he's known. But on the other hand, you can't expect him not to spoil you afte all the hard work you do every day?

He would really shower you in love and affection, because you deserve it and because it makes you flustered XD

[dianapocalypse]

Hi! I just found your art through Youtube from a Gideon the Ninth search and I'm so freaking happy! I've watched a bunch of your videos and I'm about to subscribe to your Patreon. I love your art and I love your videos.

In one of your videos you mentioned having ADHD so I there's you might understand a dilemma that I have:

See, I'm 22 years old and I'm just now starting to learn how to draw. I know that I am creative and I do have some talent, but clay and yarn have always been my preferred medium.

I'm really proud of myself for sticking to my goal of doing some sort of drawing in the last few days that I've been quarantined, but I'm worried that I'm going to burn out because my drawings don't look the way I want them to; they're not very good. I know I can't be immediately good at it, but I'm not getting that "finished task dopamine rush" if you know what I mean, and I can already feel it starting to wear my attention down.

I really want to be able to draw people from The Locked Tomb and Star Trek and TAZ and actually have it look good. I know it's gonna take a lot of practice. Do you have any tips for staying with art (specifically drawing people) in the beginning when I'm not getting the results I want?

omg hello!!!! thank you so much for watching my channel and the kind words and aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA you have made my day!!! WELCOME TO DRAWING! something I have noticed with ppl who start art (or any skill) Later In Life is that they start in stage 2 of Learning Stuff. this is a highly scientific term. but basically, the four stages go "being not good but not realizing it at a thing", "being not good but knowing it", "being good and knowing it" and "being good without thinking about it". again, I am explaining this Highly Scientifically. but that's good news, because that means you're already on stage 2! that's one whole stage closer to being good at things!

but that is not your question! the question is how to avoid burnout, and I can help with that too!

the way forward is DRAW VERY SELF INDULGENT THINGS! if you're not getting the dopamine from the finished product itself, you can get it from WHAT you're drawing. example! i have three entire 100+ page photo albums full of art from one of my D&D games because I fell in love with my OC. I wasn't very good at art for most of that game, but by the end of it, I was PRETTY DECENT! it didn't bother me that much that my art was just OK at the beginning because I was just having so much fun drawing that character. over and over again. hundreds of times. maybe more even. doing lots of things. like smoochin her boyfriend. but in a distinctly bisexual way.

where was I. YES. avoiding burnout. so I recommend starting there! draw what you like! draw what brings you dopamine anyway!

i also recommend trying to embrace your mistakes! the fact that you're NOTICING them means you're at the step right before learning how to fix them! and then when you DO learn how to fix them??? the DOPAMINE will FLOW. the way to do that? when you draw something wrong, go find a reference of it! if it's a pose you're struggling with and you can't figure it out, take a picture of yourself doing it or look at yourself doing it in a mirror! (or, if you start from a reference, you'll already have one ready to go! I recommend Adorkastock on DA/Tiktok or https://doll-a.net/. That second one even has an app you can use to download a 3D mannequin that you can pose however you like! It's a little clunky but it's FREE!) references will make you get good so much faster than not references. this reminds me I wanted to make a video about references. I will write that down!

you have also inspired me to make a video with more just How To Draw Stuff advice! I have been batting an idea around but knowing someone would actually GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT is motivating! i will try to make that next week's video!

in the meantime, keep drawing stuff you love!! make more TLT content! or TAZ or D&D or Star Trek! lifehack, you can do figure studies and then just make them into your OCs or characters you like from those things. no one can stop you. what if they were ALL gideon nav???

[creepypasta65]

hello!! Could I please have a creepypasta matchup?

I’m bisexual cis female

My hobbies are reading, drawing, studying botany, searching music (if this is a hobby), playing card and board games and making my own musical films.

I’m really into horror stuff. Movies, music, books, art…. If it’s something horror themed, I’m into it!

I like to listen to Bring Me The Horizon, The Neighbourhood, Cage The Elephant, Audioslave, Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys. But I also listen to many other styles

I like insects, play minecraft, anime and cartoons, hugging people I like and chinese food

I hate any kind of disrespect to any ethnicity, race, sexuality, opinion, etc… I also hate intolerant and ignorant people

I'm an introverted person, my social group is very small and restricted, but I really appreciate the few people I allow to enter my life. I like being among my few friends, making them laugh, hugging and kissing them, feeding them. Even so, I prefer to stay home alone, doing some activity that I like, instead of going out with my little group. But not because I don't like them (I love them all, care a lot about their safety, health and well being) but I end up getting very tired when exposed to social interaction for too long, what makes me have to replenish my social energy

for me, the ideal partner would be someone who respects when I want to be alone, but who is also willing to spend time alone with me. I would like someone who is patient enough to hear me talk about all the useless knowledge I have. I like to get attention from the people I like (for example, when I'm talking I like to be listened to). I would like someone who is interested in participating in my hobbies activities and who is willing to understand my tastes and interests. I need someone with a lot of patience and who doesn't rush me to finish a task, I like it when my time is respected. I love words of affirmation and I love receiving affection, hugs, kisses etc...

I’m 5’7’’ tall, my hair is brown, shoulder length, chopped cut (actually it looks like a messy mullet). My eyes are brown. My clothing style always changes, but normally I go with tomboy styles.

some fun facts about me: I'm Brazilian; My favorite subject at school was geography; My favorite food is yakisoba; I love stuffed animals; My favorite type of weather is cold and rainy; I have asthma; The “foryou” page on my tiktok is full of animals and pets; I am very interested in photography and film; I am a plant parent

sorry if this took too long 😅😅

thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️

Thank You!! I match you up with Ben Drowned and Nina the Killer

Hi boo, I'm here for an MHA matchup if you don't mind 😗 (No gender preference)

I'm an afab trans man who uses he/him pronouns and I'm 19 (and never fucking learned how to read). I'm bisexual demi romantic and I am professionally diagnosed with schizo-affective, chronic PTSD, depression and bipolar, and as such I take a lot of medications. I'm a Muslim, Leo sun/Aquarius moon/Cancer Venus/Sagittarius Mars/Virgo rising.

My hobbies include drawing and writing, playing Pokemon and Animal Crossing (and other video games), watching horror movies, cooking and cleaning, fantasizing about romantic situations, caring for my grandmother and doing my daily prayers.

My likes include tiny and baby animals, cute journals to write in, astronomy and astrology, plush toys (I own like 30 and I love them all) and mythology.

My dislikes involve being underestimated (specifically by my dad), loud crowds, events or items that trigger my illnesses, Endeavor (he reminds me somewhat of my dad), being left alone anywhere, a lot of my family members (they're all drunkards, drug abusers or both), people who don't look up their facts before trying to disprove me and unnecessary arguments and yelling, and math.

My habits are smoking cigarettes, scratching myself endlessly, bouncing my legs, binge eating, responding to texts out loud and constantly texting my friends as if I'm unaware they're getting tired of me lol.

Around new people I try to appear harmless but professional. When I'm comfortable with people I pull out the crude jokes, all my stuffed animals, every detail about my past and present, and discuss American politics. I like to play wrestle with my friends. When a real fight occurs however, I go all out. I once kicked the asses of three guys twice my size. My dad is a retired Navy Seal who taught me how to defend myself so I have him to thank for that. I tend to be the funny friend who does stupid shit to get a laugh out of people.

I tend to shut down when people get angry with me. There are times I feel hyper sexual and times I feel sex repulsed. I go far out of my way to prove myself to others that I'm not useless or deserve to be in my mom's shadow, but my dad can't overlook that he only compliments her and how hard she works because he's hopeful he'll get sex that night. It's difficult for me to open up to other people because I'm scared I'll get hurt. I never cry but it affects me greatly when my dad "jokes" about me being fat (as if he's any better than me). I'm simply tired of being the butt of his every joke. My brother is Autistic and my parents make excuses for him all the time to an unfair extreme, but never do the same for me.

Haha this kinda turned into a micro vent but oh well. I hope I didn't write too much and please have a great day! I love reading what you write daily.

Hiya 💖💫 I didn't write for him in a long time, so maybe he's a little bit out of character 🥺💖 The longer I was reading this, the more concerned for you I got, if you want to talk about something, you're always welcome to message me! 💫💖 I tried to avoid the topic of your religion and mental disorders, because it's something I don't know much about and I didn't wanted to get something wrong 🥺💖 Enjoy! 💖

My choice for you is... *drum roll* Dabi! And here's why:

• Dabi would accept all your mental disorders, he probably has few himself

• He'll find your drawings cool and he might even steal few to take into his room

• Hes used to Shigaraki playing games, so he doesn't mind that you do, as long as you give him attention when he wants

• He'll watch horror movie with you, so he can tease you if you get scared

• He's messy and he doesn't eat unless somebody gives him food or he's really starving, so it's good that you like cooking and cleaning

• He's not much of a romantic, but he cares for you and he'll try

• He doesn't care about what you believe in, he's atheist himself, but he doesn't say anything against your religion

• He might help you take care of your grandma sometimes, but since he's villain, he doesn't want her to recognize him

• He finds your collection of plush toys adorable and he gets steals you new one sometimes

• He'll also get you new journals, but he'll read what your write into them

• He also has problems with his father, so he fully understands you

• He hates being underestimated as much as you do, so another thing you two have in common

• He doesn't care about loud crowds, but he'll try to dodge them when he's with you

• He loves you even tho he's asshole so he'll do everything he can to not trigger your illnesses

• He's capable of arguing with anybody, but he'll try to not when he's with you

• He also smokes, so you two take smoke breaks together plus he's practically lighter, so you don't have to worry about carrying one with you

• He doesn't have any life, so he's free to text all day

• He finds amusing how appear quiet and collected at first, but you're badass

• You two go to missions together and then he brags about how good you're in a fight to everybody in lov

• Other members of lov also like you, Toga has crush on you and Shigaraki discusses and plays games with you

• Dabi and Toga might make little trip to visit your father, with knives.

• Dabi will asure you about how awesome you're

• You'll get all the love you deserve in lov and from Dabi

a while back people requested that i share some of my headcanons for certain bnha characters, so here's some of the characters that i did

Shota Aizawa

- he absolutely has at LEAST 3 cats, he spoils the heck out of them too. that's why he's always eating those gel packs... he spends too much on his cats.

- he really likes tea, and dislikes sweets

Hanta Sero

- definitely into e-boy fashion, and he is open about it

- pierced his own ears at 3 am and called kaminari crying about how he screwed it up

- he actually likes to draw a lot in his free time, it's very relaxing. he puts on some nice low-fi music and draws for hours

- he hasn't had many crushes in his life and doesn't find romance to be a big issue currently, but he's open to anything

- accidentally taped his hamster to the ceiling in 2nd grade, he didn't mean to and cried for hours (the hamster was ok)

Nemuri Kayama

- she is a BRO, she likes to crack a cold one open with the boys on the weekends

- she is bisexual and thinks everyone is beautiful in their own unique ways

- most likely talks shit about her coworkers to her classes

- she thinks children are adorable and loves them, often scaring them with her enthusiasm

- very touchy, she loves hugs and will probably not pass up a chance to use you as an armrest if she has the chance

- she secretly worries about aizawa a lot and is scared that he lets the past effect him too much

- did you guys know she has a cat?!

- i like to think she and mic are like... EPIC bros, she loves to paint his nails and do his hair while gossiping with him (aizawa would NEVER let her do this to him lmao)

- she isn't a mom, but finds the idea of having her own children very nice, for now having a cat will suffice

- she enjoys trying to make all might flustered, she thinks his reactions to things are always very cute and funny (it's all in good fun!)

- she's the mom friend! though she may seem very sexual, which she undoubtedly is, she is also very caring and has a very nuturing motherly personality, she's a lot more than just fanservice !!!!!

Todoroki Shoto

- completely oblivious when it comes to love... he doesn't even understand his own crushes

- "of course you can borrow my credit card uraraka" *pulls out endeavors card which he sneakily took*

- allows his friends to huddle up to his warm side when they are cold

- is confused when people show him copious amounts of love and affection

- he would beat up anyone if they tried to do ANYTHING bad to midoriya

- he wants more friends. he really is enjoying meeting new people and having some new friends at ua!

- he gives really good hugs, he doesn't try to hug you too tight, but he doesn't half ass it either, very nice and warm

Shinsou Hitoshi

- he secretly really likes deku and kaminari and is hesitant about accepting their friendship, but appreciates the gestures a lot

- he suffers with social anxiety and doesn't really know how to make friends very well??? like, in middle school people were total dickbags to him so he kinda just closed himself off and decided he was gonna like... not make friends, but now that there's nice people around him he just kind of- doesn't know how

- this is actually canon! but he feels guilty about having to manipulate people when he uses his quirk, during the 4th school briefs book he feels guilty when he overhears midoriya and ojiro talking about him using his quirk during the sports festival, and he's like "i wish ojiro would say something rude about me to show he's angry so i wouldn't have to feel so guilty about this" since ojiro showed no ill feelings towards him

- that one person sitting at the back of the bus with their earbuds blasting full volume

- was a GOD at guitar hero

- acts like she's fed up with kaminari's (which she can be sometimes), but truly he's one of the people she can trust the most. she secretly appreciates the way he hypes up her talents and how he really helps her through the day sometimes!

- she loves heroes so much... when she was a little girl and didn't know what to do she'd ask herself "what would my favorite heroes do!?"

- she also secretly buys hero merch but hides it in fear of her being seen as sappy

Amajiki Tamaki

- he has most likely worn a schoolgirl uniform to class once

- he's very affectionate and loves to hug his friends (even if they don't want hugs), it's his way of showing he likes people

Hizashi Yamada

- he lives off of caffeine. he is a teacher, pro hero, and radio show host, im honestly not sure how he does it

- gives out stickers when students get the correct answer in class and has class parties when they are well behaved for the semester

- just like everyone else, he has his own turmoil as well, he likes to stay busy because it prevents him from having a lot of time to dwell on the past

- he gives really good hugs, and loves to feel the touch of others, it's very comforting to him

- overall a really happy and excitable guy, he loves being the center of attention and if he can make people happy by being what he is, that's awesome!
