Could you hate me?

To kill Naruto would be killing myself. It’s an endless cycle of hatred that we were born into; there is no choice in this. We weren’t asked how we felt, or if we even wanted this. No. To kill each other is our birthright. To be lonely forevermore once our other half is slaughtered like a lamb (or a mangy wolf, what is there that is innocent about me anymore? I killed that child long ago, when I left him. Or maybe it was Itachi, Konoha, or anybody else, maybe I wasn’t to blame.) with our own very hands. Bloodied and broken, a heart torn in half — decaying at the seams — as why would I live if I killed him? Death was our gift from the Sage. From the beginning to our end, we’ll take the sword and plunge it into our very hearts which we know better than anyone else.

To kill Naruto would be killing myself. So why not die together and end it with each other, for the final time? Will you grant me one last selfish request, Naruto? (Wasn’t it your idea, my one and only?)

I have to be honest, I don't think I'll stick with Life Makeover longer than I've played Shining Nikki since they're essentially the same game. There is nothing unique about Life Makeover's game play and mechanics that doesn't already exist in Shining Nikki except for the amount of skin tones and dyeing options there are.

I stopped playing Shining Nikki because of stamina being required for every little thing which makes the game unplayable without shelling out gems and money for more stamina and the events being only pavilions costing 20k gems easily. Stamina is already becoming an issue in Life Makeover. I'll stick around long enough to see what the gem events are like, but if they also borrow that system and use Lightchase for gem events like Shining Nikki then I think that'll be it for me.

[yourtongzhihazel]

Striking, marching, even parliamentarism (at specific points) are all methods of class struggle whose primary purpose is to build proletariat class consciousness and worker power. However, they are not a substitute for socialism nor a solution to capitalism and they are consistently hampered by the capitalist superstructure. At a certain stage, these methods of class struggle will no longer be effective strategies and must be discarded in favor of other tactics. Revolutions were not won through marches and strikes alone. The culmination of all organization and class struggle is the socialist revolution. Thus, the ultimate goal of building proletariat class consciousness is the formation of a revolutionary party and its associated armed wings in order to pursue the goal of upending the bourgeois state and the construction of a DOTP.

When is parliamentarism a valid strategy? When the voting of a candidate or policy is materially useful for organizing and agitating. For example, labor unions called for a vote against proposition 22 in california in support of "gig economy" workers, i.e., uber or doordash drivers. This law would classify these workers as "contractors" instead of as employees, barring them from receiving benefits and labor protections (the law passed btw, if you're wondering why I hate california). Another example is when my union voted for a local council member in order to block the construction of amazon warehouses in order to make unionization efforts easier. What are the differences between these actions and, say, voting for biden? These were actions which were directed by organized labor who had clear actions and goals which were directly affected by said legislation/policy/politician.

Remember: the ultimate goal of all forms of class struggle is the socialist revolution and the upending of the capitalist mode of production. Strategies and participation in politics should always be in service of this goal. Beware of opportunists, distorters, and renegades who proclaim themselves to be in service of these goals but whose agitation's only material effect is the defanging and neutering of proletariat revolutionary energy. In the short term, our goal is to build worker power through organizing and unionizing and to build class consciousness through agitation and education.

hotel room

summary: about 800 words, short little drabble on the one bed trope with wilbur. Wilbur and reader are very close friends. for the lovely @toiletwipes <3

not proof read sns

a/n: sorry if the formatting is weird, I wrote this at work on mobile :')

Wilbur was an idiot. Plain and simple. An absolute fool. What other explanation could there be for this situation he had put you both in?

Wilbur had been the one to suggest booking a hotel room instead of driving a few hours back to your american friend's apartment. He found a nice enough place and all for a pretty good price. He only made one mistake.

There was only one damn bed. Even worse, it was just a tad too small for you to both fit comfortably without being rather close.

"Wilbur, what the hell are we going to do now?" you laughed at him, his face was proper flushed, muttering something about how he was tired when he booked the room.

"I didn't think to check, I had assumed there would be two beds," he glared at you as you continued to giggle, "It's not that funny darling, if you keep laughing I might just make you sleep on the floor." You stopped and gaped at him.

"Uh-uh, nope, you fucked up, you're sleeping on the floor. It's either that or we'll have to share it.." you trailed off as your face heated at the thought.

It's not like it would be the end of the world. Only it was. As much as you hated to admit it, you liked Wilbur a lot. Much more than the friendship you currently shared. Wilbur didn't need to know that, though. Him and his stupidly cute face..

He smirked at you and teased, "Oh yeah? I'm sure you'd like that a lot, wouldn't you, sweetheart?" He stepped closer to you, and your eyes focused on the ground, finding it very interesting at this moment.

His hand lifted your chin up to face him before leaning in to whisper in your ear, "Go on darling, use your words."

Your face became impossibly flushed, stuttering while attempting to find the right thing to say. Wilbur had always been flirty with you, but this seemed different. He stepped back, laughing and shaking his head.

"I'm just teasing you, my love, I'll sleep on the floor since it was me who-"

"No, we can share. It's fine," you cut him off speaking quickly. You covered your mouth as soon as the words escaped. Shit. There is no way you just said that out loud.

He smiled at you a little confused, "Alright then, whatever you like. I'll take the bags while you get changed, yeah?"

Your mind was racing, but you managed a nod, grabbing a large t-shirt and some rather short shorts. After practically running to the bathroom and changing, you headed back over to Wilbur.

He had already gotten ready for bed and was scrolling through his phone, waiting for you to join him. You cautiously slid into bed beside him, trying to give him enough room, but barely having any yourself.

"Seriously, love?" Wilbur chuckled, motioning for you to come closer, "Come here, you're going to fall." You obliged, scooting next to him and getting comfortable as he wraps his arms around you. You were blushing intensely, his scent enveloping you. He tangled his legs with yours so that neither of you were hanging off the edge and brought you even closer to him.

If that wasn't enough to make you flustered, what he did next definitely was.

He squeezed you gently and pressed a kiss onto your forehead, nuzzling into the crook of your neck. He chuckled when your breath hitched, knowing the effect he had on you.

"Darling, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you might have a fever from how warm you're getting," he spoke lowly, teasing again, "Would you like to explain yourself?"

Once again, you were at a loss for words, as if he had stolen them from you. The butterflies in your stomach were going crazy as he pulled back to look at you again.

"Hmm, struggling, are we? Gods, you're adorable, you know that?" He smiled, glancing down at your lips.

Somehow, that snapped you out of your speechless state. "I am not adorable! I am a menace to society! How dare you even sugg-"

He cut off your ramble with a kiss, cautious at first and then confident when you kissed him back. His hands traveled from your back down to your hips and squeezing. You gasped, mouth opening and he took the opportunity to explore you further.

When you finally pulled back for air, looking up at him, his pupils were blown wide, face red and lips swollen. He smiled so big his eyes crinkled at the corners. "Do you know how long I've wanted to do that, my love?"

"Yeah? I dont know, maybe you should kiss me again just so I can be sure," you smiled back at him, closing the short distance between the two of you once more.

You guessed it was safe to say he liked you back. He was still an idiot, no doubt. But he was your idiot.

pairing: titans!dick grayson x female!reader

summary: a family, a home, was all Yn ever wanted, and when she got it, she had to part ways. coming back shouldn't hurt, shouldn't be this hard. Dick Grayson shouldn't be an asshole, but she shouldn't love him either. word count: 3,5k warnings: cursing, mentions of death, grief, family issues , and my absolute lack of knowledge of green lantern’s lore.

a/n: definitely not proof read, and it's 3:05 in the morning, so pls be kind with any errors lol a/n 2: updated on january 4th, 2024.

reblogs and interactions are always appreciated ! ♡

⌜masterlist⌟ ⌜requests⌟

Outer space was vast.  Immense with emptiness, and yet still full of life.

The last five years of Yn’s life were spent in this vast nothingness, travelling, patrolling, protecting. The bit of galaxy that was gifted to her by the guardians was her place to keep safe, and the same place where once she had felt safe herself, before discovering the magnitude of this emptiness and the dangers it hid from humans. 

Never in her young life had she expected it to take this turn, to be granted with a ring and the responsibility to be one of Earth’s protectors. She had just turned fourteen when gifted with a ring of hope, but never did she doubt her abilities, embracing the new challenge with a bravery the guardians hadn’t seen before from someone so young, and teaming with Earth’s own green lantern on the quest to defend the planet.

If only Hal knew the young girl was the one in need of defending.

As many heroes' stories go, Yn Sn was the product of a tragic life, having lost her parents at a very early age, and since then bouncing from one foster family to another. The “family” she had found herself in at that point didn’t have anything on family and on foster. They couldn’t care if she went missing for days, only to return bruised and in pain. They just cared for the money in their bank account at the end of the month.

As far as she knew, she was always alone.

Hal Jordan was the first thing to come close to family for Yn. Although reluctantly at first, he took her in and trained the young girl to become a lantern just as good as him. With time, he turned into an older brother, constantly worrying that the life of a lantern would interfere with her personal life, worrying if she was missing school or getting in trouble with her parents for disappearing for too long, but she would constantly brush off these worries, telling him they were with all that.

However, when he found out the truth, he got furious. He took her in, made her his ward “Just as a friend had done with a young boy he’d met, Yn”. But Hal was often away, be it for lantern duties or his own work and personal life, so he was concerned she would feel too alone in their apartment. That she would feel left out.

That’s when he heard about the Titans from Batman, the group of young heroes created by his own protégé, Robin, and a few others. Considering they were all of close age, he hoped they would get along, that she would make friends and finally build her own chosen family. So, with much arguing and persuasion, he took her to San Francisco to join the young team.

At first, Y/n was careful with the other teen heroes. She didn’t know if she could trust them, or even if they trusted her. But with each training session and with every mission she eventually grew to appreciate their company and little by little they became that family Hal had so wished for her.

However, even within the best families there’s always conflict and a certain level of distrust, and her greatest source of both came in the form of a green, red, and yellow costumed boy: Dick Grayson. The famous boy wonder, self-proclaimed team leader, the one that could get on her nerves like nobody else.

Always reprimanding her, always pointing out her flaws. He was unbearable, and sometimes she wished to punch him so hard he’d end up on the other side of the galaxy.

“I told you to stay in formation, not to go rogue and almost ruin the mission, lantern.” He scolded her after their most recent encounter with Cheshire.

“But I got to her anyway, and also disarmed the bomb. You should be thanking me for doing your job, and much better than you ever would.” She confronted him, knowing very well how to trigger the boy.

“We are a team, Yn. T-E-A-M,” he spat out. “Supposedly, these work together, but you wouldn’t have known, as you’re trapped too deep into your own ego to care for anyone else.” Pointing his finger in her face, his own getting red and spit jumping out of his mouth.

Gosh he hated how she could so easily rile him up, how she held a power over him that made everything good turn bad with single a snap of her fingers.

“My ego?!” She laughed, getting even closer to Dick than he already was. “Look who’s talking, Mr. I made myself team captain because I clearly think I’m above everyone else. You think so highly of your plans that…”

“Enough, you two!” Donna interrupted, rubbing at her temples. “If you keep doing this after every mission, I don’t know what I’m capable of doing.”

During her time with the Titans, Yn had to withhold herself from arguing with Robin 80% of the time. The other 20% were times they were sent on missions separately and she finally could feel at peace. But somehow it worked. The team ran as a connected unit, never missing a beat, one complementing the other as if they were parts of the same body.

But that didn’t last long. They worked well until loss and grief broke the connection entirely. With Garth’s death much of that confidence and team spirt was lost to fear, anger, and distrust, and there seemed to be no fixing that.

“If only you had listened to me. If we had taken care of Deathstroke like I wanted to, Garth would’ve been alive today!” Yn screamed at Robin, as her voice trembled, her eyes soaked, and tears started rolling down her cheeks like a waterfall. She had told him, warned countless times, that they couldn’t deal with Deathstroke by simply doing whatever shit he and Batman did in Gotham. Slade was too dangerous to be left alive, and death was the only way to get rid of him for good.

“So, you want to blame me for something that isn’t my fault? You were the one that made him angry in the first place.” he responded.

“We all pissed him off, Grayson. Don’t try to put this on me. I could have been as much of a target as Garth and Donna were…”

“Don’t say this…”

“Or even y-you!” her voice barely made it to the end of this sentence, a lump forming in her throat impeding her from continuing to argue. Tired of everything, exhausted in fact, Yn stormed out of the room and ran to her bedroom, collected her few belongings in a rush and made her way out of the tower.

“Where the fuck do you think you’re going?” asked the Boy Wonder, his voice was shaky and covered in a feeling Yn couldn’t fully comprehend.

“Away!” she replied rashly. 

“Away from where?“

“From everything! The tower. San Francisco. Earth for all that matters. I want out of here!”

Dick was sure her screams could be heard all the way on the street, and just as loud as that was the sound of his heart breaking, shattering on the floor like broken glass. The team was over, and there was nothing he could do about it except watch it crumbling down.

Leaving Earth all those years ago wasn’t an easy decision. After all, it was her home. But with the end of the Titans and the destruction of the only thing she deeply cared for in this world, there was nothing holding her down to stay anyways. The galaxy was now her home, where she travelled and visited so many planets, she didn’t even know were real.

Hal tried to bring her back to Earth with him an uncountable amount of times, but all of them were unsuccessful, and he learned that leaving her be was the best he could do to allow her to heal. When she felt ready, she would return. 

And then, finally, after a little bit more than five long years, Yn felt confident in herself enough to consider going back. It was about time, she missed their sun, the food was always superior then anywhere else, and she had to know how he was. Go back to Earth, she would often think, You have no home here, Y/n.

Upon her return, she expected things to have changed. She expected to see that her old friends had moved on from the crime fighting world, from the hero gig, and left the Titans just a memory. But to her surprise, the present didn’t appear to be too different from what was left all those years ago.

Turning the TV inside her new and tiny apartment, the news shows were all about the apparent reopening of the Titans Towers, about Robin going rogue in Detroit and his return to the city San Francisco with intentions of bringing the once beloved team back. Y/n knew Dick was stubborn, but gosh he could go beyond expected. Why would he do that? Who would do that with him? Did Donna or Dawn or Hank come back too? Are they all stupid brainless masochists?

She knew it would sound hypocritical of her, after all she’s still in her position as a Blue Lantern, patrolling a patch of the galaxy where Earth belonged to. But she had no choice, she made an oath to protect it and if there was one thing Yn was never going to break was a promise.

If it wasn’t the oath, Y/n would have quit five years ago. Or maybe not. Being a hero filled a hole in her heart that left untouched would be filled with pain and hurt instead, so maybe she would stay and keep it filled with everything else but her true feelings.

All those questions were eating up her brain and wouldn't let her sleep at night. So, deciding to rid herself of all doubt, she searched for the one she wished she had left behind all those years ago.

Dick had just turned off the last light in the Titans Tower, the whole team probably sound asleep by that point, as he so wished to be.

Restarting the Titans was an unexpected gift, but also the reconquering of a number of responsibilities that were leaving him gradually more exhausted day by day. A good night's sleep might solve his problem just temporarily, but the temptation of a good rest was always irrefutable.

Just as he entered his bedroom, he noticed a shadow. The shadow of a human, a person he couldn’t identify in the darkness, and his fight instincts kicked out. But before he could’ve attempted anything, the shadow’s sweet voice sent a shiver down his spine:

“When I came back to Earth, I expected it to be in a better position than the one I had left it on, but it appears that humans are much clingier to the past as I thought they would be.” It told him, the owner of the voice someone he hadn’t expected to hear and see any time soon, but that he would have recognized even if hundreds of years had passed.

“Yn?”

“So, you want to bring back the team that took so much from us?” She questioned, and although she was still hiding in the dark, he could notice her trembling chin from just her voice. She questioned him incredulously, still not daring to look away from the huge floor to ceiling windows. “You want to take kids into the crime fighting world just like the man you hate the most did to you?”

Finding Yn Sn in his bedroom wasn’t in his yearly bingo card, nor his decade one. In fact, he truly thought he would never see her again, with how upset she was the last time they had talked. But, ironically, here she was and just as angry as the last time they’d talked. Too much for hanging on to the past, huh?

“This is not what you think.” He declared and Yn turned to him abruptly.

“Explain to me, then,” she demanded, a dark humor hovering her voice. “Why did you take those kids in?”

“You’re acting as if you didn’t start fighting crime yourself as a teenager…”

“That’s different, “ she interrupted, her voice only getting louder. “I got chosen by the ring to defend the universe, it’s a different situation.”

“Don’t come to me with your “I’m special” bullshit.” Dick made quotation marks with his own finger, feeling the anger climb his spine. “Even if it wasn't for the ring, you'd have been just like us, and you know it.”

“Well, now I know better. Kids are not supposed to be fighting crime, or don’t you remember what happened the last time we were in San Francisco?” Shaking her head judgingly, she adds. “You’re unbelievable, Grayson.”

“And you still fail to see the bigger picture, Yn.“ Dick counter argued. “I’m not doing this for the sake of having a team back. I’m doing it for Rachel and Gar, for Kory. They’re strays just like one day you and me were, or did you forget how it was to not have a family and desperately want one?”

The mention of a family had Yn frozen, standing still and staring right back at him without knowing what words she should muster. He knew it was her weak spot, he knew that through it he could make her understand, so poking her wound was his only option.

And he was right. Y/n didn’t forget. The Titans were not just a superhero team, they were a family just like no other, built of strays with no hopes or expectations, those who lived in someone else’s shadows and desperately tried to strike on their own. Even so, the consequences of bringing the team back were far larger than one would think, and Yn so badly wanted to avoid any more heartbreak.

“Still… Don’t you mind the stakes? Don’t you remember the pain anymore? The hole left by Garth’s loss, do you want to feel it again, Dick?” her voice got softer, pain evident in every syllable. “Because you know it will come, eventually. Much stronger than the first time.”

“It’s a risk worth taking.” He replied honestly. If it wasn’t him, then someone else would do it, otherwise they’d be allowing too much shit to hit happen that he couldn’t even contemplate what future it would lead them to.

“Really?! You wanna risk children’s lives, your life? Do you wanna risk all that pain in the name of a mission that never seems to have an end?” She spat out, anger returning to her tone. “You had quit, I saw it. And you have no idea how jealous that made me because I couldn’t do the same. Travelling through space did nothing to soothe the emptiness I felt inside, no crime fighting would fix my heart and you tell me you’re willing to go back to it all when you were finally free?” the burning sensation in her eyes told her news she hoped wouldn’t happen, but at this point, crying was inevitable.

“We can’t be sure if something is gonna happen. It’s a risk worth taking because so far, it has worked for us. We did lose Garth, but remember how much more we had conquered?”

“Having you say Garth's death was worth it, Dick…” she shook her head before being interrupted.

“You know it was not what I meant. Stop twisting my words.”

Dick was growing infuriated. It doesn’t matter how much time passes, Yn Sn is still going to try to paint him as the bad guy when he just wants to get on her good side.

“Because you are so damn capable of keeping everyone alive, right? How about your own life, who’s gonna protect it then?”

“My life is the smallest of my problems.” Dick stated nonchalantly, surprising Yn a little.

That line, that simple sentence had Y/n’s heart shattered. Did he think so little of himself to consider his life worthless? Because to her, his life was worth millions. His life was worth putting hers in danger or sacrificing an entire planet for.

"Don’t say that!" screamed the girl fiercely. "Losing Garth already had me broken. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you too!”

Her sight was blurred due to the tears that allocated themselves in her eyes, uncontrollable, untamed. Her voice felt hoarse, weak, the lump on her throat making her words barely leave her mouth. I am weak, she thought. He knows.

And he did now.

He felt nauseous at first. If his thought process was right, if what she said was real and not a product of his imagination, she… liked him, she cared for him. Liked him enough to not want to lose him, even hypothetically.

Dick was astounded. Never would he have believed it, if anyone had told this him before tonight, that Yn Sn was in any level into him, he’d tell them they were insane. He thought she would rather see him burn over something like this. But it all made to him, all the fights they had after he put himself in dangerous positions during missions, all those arguments when he ended up hurt. She cared about him, him. 

"Yn, what do you mean?" he asked carefully, approaching her ever so slowly. He feared if she saw what he was attempting to do that she would flee like she did before.

"Nothing…" she said while drying her eyes. Stupid, stupid, stupid. "I have to go."

She felt disoriented. She had guarded herself so well all her life, and here comes this stupidly good-looking guy, with his stupidly charming smile, breaking her walls and making her feel so… small and insignificant. Trying to recompose herself, she fixed her shirt and rushed past her old “friend”, only to be stopped as she felt his strong hands holding her in place.

"I know I would’ve gone mad if I had lost you." he confided.

Coming onto his own senses, Dick realized all he wanted was her safety too. Her health, her happiness, her smiles every time the team would fight for the front seat in the plane, the remote control or about what movie they were going to watch. He wanted to see the sparkle in her eyes every time she would make the most eccentric creations with her ring. He wanted her to have the family he knew she had always wished for, he wanted her cared for and loved. And even more, he wanted to be one providing her all of it.

"I wouldn’t have made it if you were the one to have gone. If you were gone… so would I.”

Hearing his confession, Yn body stopped working, her heart stopped pounding and her mind kept repeating his words. Her body didn’t respond to her head saying go, or even to her heart telling her to kiss him, right then, right there.

All these years of hatred made her believe he truly despised her. She thought he would hate her for leaving, for being selfish, for hurting him. She hated that pain and herself for feeling it, making her a fucking coward. But all this time, he was hurting just like her. He was a coward too, she thought. A silly, stupid, and lovable coward.

"You are incredibly stupid, you know." she blurted out, and he laughed.

"And you are the hardest person to love in this whole entire world."

The four-lettered word threw a burst of energy into Yn’s body, awakening it and her thoughts. Her body erupted with an energy not even the ring had made her feel, and without another thought, without wasting anymore time, without waiting five more years, she kissed him.

Passionately, lovingly, intensely. She kissed him for all the lost years, for all the accumulated anger he made her feel. For never stopping being that boy full of hope and determination, and the hardest of heads she’s even known. 

Yn loved Dick Grayson. She always did. And from the way he kissed her back, she knew he did it too.  That his words were not lies of his to try and get her back. She felt his love, his passion. She wanted to feel it more and more and more…

"Stay with me…" he begged, voice mixed between heavy breaths. "With the Titans."

His forehead rested on hers, his eyes closed, as if praying she'd say yes. Even if her mind kept telling her it was a bad idea, that bringing back the team was dangerous, her newfound softness for him pushed her into saying yes, into staying. Into building again, the family she once had, but now in the right way, now with him by her side.

With a sigh and a desire of getting intoxicated on him once more, a desire that was making her lose all her senses and certainly her mind, Y/n answered:

"I’ll have to think about it."

Unbelievable. With a shake of his head and a soft, breathy laugh, Dick held her face in his hands and kissed her once more, giving her what her eyes were begging and knowing damn well this time she was gonna stay. She was gonna be with him, and there was no way he’d let her go.

She was here, with him. At home. He was her love, her friend, her home.

[casgirl]

hi casgirl! do you have any fanfic recommendations for sasuke/naruto or destiel? i haven’t read much about either of these ships and ur the only one i trust on them (i think i read a college hookup naruto fic you recommended once, and 3 destiel fics you recced: twist and shout, the fic about cas being homeless for months, and the fic where dean is sent away for false accusations and cas is institutionalized)

happy holidays :]

i've been sitting on this message for ages bc i gotta deliver nothing but the best recs for you!!

sasunaru:

something to remember me by by heimei: modern au, kind of a coming of age story, kind of a ghost story. sweet and sad. iconic.

a world of truth by luchia: everyone is stuck in a genjutsu where Everything is Perfect but sasuke is the only one who's aware of it. very fun plotwise i'm such a sucker for like that kind of scenario.

komorebi by saltedpotato and come find me when by kintou are both good examples of one of my favorite sns fanfiction genres which is "post canon sasuke and naruto both leave the village and travel the world together". komorebi is one of my faves, and come find me when is a newer one that i liked a lot!

baby animals, weddings, and other things not normally associated with uchiha sasuke by prettypreistess sasuke becomes a teacher :)

destiel:

all things shining by askance and standbyme (one of the writers of twist and shout): one of my all time faves, a case fic that's really well written and just feels very magical. like its the odyssey to twist and shout's illiad.

somewhere by foolondahill17: a west side story au. the period typical racism tag refers to castiel getting called anti-italian slurs. absolutely ridiculous.

r/supernatural by renrub: the reddit format fic by @tiktaalic. iconic in its own right and hilarious.

misty water-colored memories by ireallydidthistomyself : i recommend everything zoe @klainebayeuxtapestry writes, but this i think might be my favorite. its destiel, but mostly about cas raising jack and its sooooo good. i've read it like a hundred times.

the face of heaven by orange_crushed ohhhh so sweet so good. cas is a fallen star who lands on earth.

there's a bunch i'm probably forgetting but these all have the maj casgirl stamp of approval!!!

Ask: Astrology Placements for Dancers, Gymnasts, and Yogis

I am thinking of doing a creative healing project involving pole dance, aerial silks /aerial yoga, and some sensual dance. To free the body, free the mind, and unite the body-mind connection for people with trauma (so a Somatic healing experience if that makes sense). This would combine music therapy, visuals, recorded performances, affirmations, and grounding work. I may even include some shadow work journals and additional grounding tools on the website. I want to gently guide others through evoking the root and the strength in their trauma (survival state) from where they feel most comfortable. All of these would be presented in an interactive format. I used to dance ballet but I am hesitant to start this project solo. I will be taking about a year to do this with the level of care and professionalism that I want to provide. Can you give me indicators/placements of the dancers/athletes mentioned? If you are a dancer of any kind feel free to drop your personal placements and any thoughts.

If you would like to give me personal tips, some of my placements are Aries SN(3H)/MRC(4H), Virgo MN(9H)/MRS(9H), Sagittarius ASC, Pisces VN(3H), Aquarius JP(2H), Libra MC, Virgo Lilith (8H), and Scorpio Chiron (10H - R) at 0'.

Prompt 2: "___ loves you, you know? he's/she's/they're just afraid of admitting it." 

Genre: night & dawn

Format: rainy

Prompt idea: Diluc and reader fake dates so that diluc can avoid marriage offers, but they have a rule to not fall in love with each other!

For someone like Diluc, it’s no surprise that he’d gain marriage offers. 

The man doesn’t accept any of them of course, not when he has a lot of things to prioritize on and isn’t interested in marrying for business. He makes sure his responses are polite but firm, enough for those who offered said marriages to understand that he’s not looking for a spouse anytime soon. 

But sometimes, Diluc can’t help but feel irritated from the fact that these marriage offers are increasing – to the point where every single party he has thrown or invited in includes at least three or more marriage offers here and there. 

You are not oblivious to his irritation.

If there’s one thing people know about the nobleman’s personal life besides the tragedy of his father’s death and past affiliations with the Knights of Favonius, it’s the fact that you’re perhaps one of the only people whose close friends with the man. 

It’s unexpected, really. An adventurer who doesn’t even like alcohol and has no relations of family nobility is somehow friends with the tycoon of a winery empire and the wealthiest man of Mondstadt? How peculiar! 

Well to be fair, it’s all thanks to Diluc’s adventures before his comeback in the city that led him to meet you. You happen to be staying in Snezhnaya for a long time as an adventurer, wishing that you could go back to your homeland Mondstadt, and manage to find yourself catch the red-haired man walking towards what could’ve been death’s doors. Not only did you save him from a near death experience and heal him, you also helped him take down countless of Fatui hideouts, camps, strongholds, and the list goes on. So it’s no doubt that the both of you have a lot of chemistry – as friends of course. 

When Diluc asked if you could come with him to Mondstadt and continue your adventures with him there, you didn’t even hesitate to say yes.

So here you are, listening to him as he talks about his irritation on the marriage-offer problems as he asks for your advice. Only for your one brain cell to think of one idea. 

“Why not pretend you’re in a relationship with someone?” You suggested casually, taking a sip of your favorite juice. “I mean, you don’t exactly have to act with someone, you can just lie that you don’t want to say who your partner is with an excuse that you rather keep it private. Surely that will at least lessen those offers if not all of them.” 

To your surprise, the man actually considered your suggestion.

The next day, the biggest news began to spread across the city of freedom. “The Uncrowned King of Mondstadt is no longer single!” 

Some weep over this news in heartbreak, some gossip and theorize on how long this has been going on, some rejoice in happiness for Diluc, and some simply live life not caring about such news. 

Despite these different reactions, everyone has one thing in common about this sudden news: who’s the lucky person that owns the aloof tycoon’s heart?

No one knew, not even those who are close with the man, not even Kaeya Alberich himself – who’s just as curious as everyone else about this mystery (or so he claims). 

Regardless, Diluc is glad he’s no longer receiving any marriage offers.

To thank you for your wonderful suggestion, Diluc offers you to have dinner with him in Dawn Winery as gratitude, to which you eagerly accepted from just hearing the opportunity of having free food, unaware that the both of you had made a mistake. 

Donna was more or less heartbroken about this turn of events and wanted to distract her broken heart away by offering to gather more flowers for Flora’s shop, to which the little girl gladly accepted such an offer, hence how she found herself picking some windwheel asters near Dawn Winery.

It was perhaps around 18:00 when Donna heard certain familiar voices, one of which belongs to the man she fell in love with and the other belongs to a person she considers as a friend. 

Not anymore, it seems. 

The woman lets out a soft gasp when she catches you and Diluc walking together towards his beloved home, talking about only Celestia knows as Donna’s too busy being shocked at this scene of events.

No way… You’re his spouse?!

The woman can’t help but look at the way Diluc stares at you as you continue talking. The way his lips twitches slightly upward at the sounds of your laugh, the way your hands are too close to one another, the way you both look so..! 

She quickly hides near the bushes when she catches you looking at her direction, her heart beating fast from nearly being caught and from the shock she felt at this discovery. How.. How could you do this to her? You knew her feelings and yet you stole Diluc! What did she do to you?! 

She has to tell someone about this.

And that someone ended up being Traveler and Paimon. 

“Oh please, Traveler! How could ( Name ) do this to me!” She wails aloud as Traveler and Paimon try to calm her down. “I can’t believe those two are together, please wake me up from this nightmare–”

“Calm down, Donna! What did ( Name ) do to you?!” Paimon exclaims.

“They’re with Diluc! They’re the mystery spouse that Diluc’s in love with!” She wails once again, covering her face with her two hands. The two heroes look at each other in confusion. Since when did you and Diluc started dating?!

“Donna, you’ve probably mistaken it–”

“No, no! I saw them walking together to Dawn Winery yesterday – they were almost holding hands a-and Diluc was almost smiling!” Okay, maybe Donna’s just exaggerating on that part, but who cares?! She’s too heartbroken to add that part! 

As Traveler and Paimon try their best to calm Donna down and reassure her that her so-called nightmare isn’t real, the three were unaware of just how loud the woman has been, not noticing how a few people around the area were listening to every single thing, especially a particular captain who was just simply passing by. 

Thanks to Donna, another piece of news has spread wildfire just as much as the previous one. “The Uncrowned King of Mondstadt’s unknown spouse is a high-ranking adventurer?!” 

This time, you and Diluc were actually unaware of this rumor, so it’s safe to say you’re surprised when you’re swarmed by people congratulating you and questioning you the next day after your dinner with your friend. 

When you asked one of them what’s going on, they questioned you if you’re truly Diluc’s mystery spouse all along, causing your jaws to drop in shock. You? Dating the Diluc Ragnvindr himself? Please, that’s as impossible as getting to meet Barbatos himself!

Before you could deny such claims, you were suddenly dragged away by someone and ran away from the crowd, and that someone happens to be Diluc himself, who manages to go unnoticed by everyone who was surrounding you. 

It took at least a minute before you found yourself hiding in an alley with him, the both of you panting from running. 

“Diluc? What in Teyvat is going on?” You spoke, looking at the man with panic. “What did you do?”

The man shrugs in response, looking at you with an apologetic look. “Believe me when I say that I’m not responsible for this, I’m just as confused as you are with this turn of events.”

Your eyes widen even more. “What…? Then who’s responsible for this rumor?!”

“I’m not sure either, but I don’t think this rumor will go away anytime soon.” 

Your heart sinks. “So… What are we going to do?” 

Diluc stays silent. From the look on his face, you could tell the man already has a plan in mind, but you aren’t too sure if the plan is a good one from the way he’s hesitating to spill it. 

Before he could spill one though, you suddenly thought of an idea. “We could act like it!” 

Diluc looks at you in confusion. “I don’t understand.” 

You then stopped, now realizing what you just said as you look away in embarrassment. “Actually nevermind, that sounds crazy.”

“What is it?”

You slowly look back at him sheepishly. “We could act like… a couple.” 

Both of you fell silent. 

He blinks a few times, unsure if he heard you right. Did you just say you two could act like you’re together? In a romantic relationship?

Now that you think about it, not only will you often face people talking to you about Diluc, you’ll also have to pretend you’re actually in love with him – who is for sure out of your reach and too good to be your lover – as well as being the center of gossips and news, so it’s obvious you’d reject such a ridiculous offer. 

But then again, it also brought a few benefits for your dear friend, who you want to help badly. 

Your pretend relationship could completely wipe out all upcoming marriage offers for Diluc himself, giving your friend to be able to breathe from all of that useless offers he doesn’t have to waste his time on when he has other priorities. Not only that, you could make sure that man will provide free food and hopefully free alcohol in return for this fiasco – besides, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like you two have to actually kiss or anything–

“It’s… not a bad idea, I suppose.” Diluc spoke up, causing your eyes to widen. “Of course, we must set some boundaries with this as well as a few rules, but that’s only if you’re also sure with this… suggestion of yours.”

You can’t help but feel your cheeks warm. Are you guys actually doing it? Are you actually going to experience being in a romantic relationship with an untouchable man like Diluc even if it’s fake?! 

“As long as you’re okay with this, I’m fine with it as well.” 

The red-haired man slowly nods. “Let’s do it then.” 

After spending a long night talking and discussing about your plans and rules, you and Diluc have finally come to terms and shook hands with one another. 

To break it down, there’ll obviously be times when you and Diluc have to act like a couple, specifically when being in parties, out in city streets, and in the tavern whenever you visit. There are limits with showing affection to one another and will only have to speak fake sweet nothings if need be, either have one arm linked to the other or hold hands, and yada yada. What’s not allowed are kissing, telling details of your relationship that the other party didn’t approve of yet, being in a relationship with someone else, and of course: don’t fall in love with each other. 

You weren’t affected by the last rule, because as far as you can tell, you don’t see Diluc that way – and he feels the same, so the chances of falling in love with him is zero. 

As soon as you two are seen entering the city of freedom while holding hands the next day, everyone goes crazy. So Donna was right about seeing you and Diluc being a couple! 

Many people had questions, which all went ignored by the both of you as you played the part of being a cute couple, faking a loving smile as you two laugh along to nothingness. If you weren’t so busy looking at Diluc as if you’re in love, you would’ve noticed how Donna was holding onto a flower tightly in jealousy and disbelief. Huh, why does it sound like there’s someone wailing–?

“You’re doing good.” Diluc whispers, his hushed voice wakes you up from your distracting thoughts. 

You smile cheekily. “You too. People are buying our act.”

As you two bid each other farewell as soon as you arrived at your destination in the Adventurers’ Guild Headquarters your pretend romance ended and you two went on with your day.

This went on for the next month. 

Everyone got used to seeing you and Diluc together, some would gush at how cute you two look, some would scoff in jealousy, some would be happy for you two to end up together, and some would not care about the whole thing and went on with their lives. 

You’re honestly surprised you and Diluc have been going at it for this long. Eventually your daily act stitches into your life, and you can’t find the heart to remove it. This whole thing hasn’t done anything bad to you as far as you’re concerned, so you don’t see any reason why you should stop it.

Besides that, for some reason, someone managed to figure out that you and Diluc were faking your romance. 

Yep, you guessed it – it’s Kaeya. 

You weren’t exactly that surprised about it, just relief in fact. Had it been someone else, like Donna per say, you could only imagine the amount of marriage offers Diluc could get in a span of a week! 

It’s nice though, you admit. You don’t have to expect Kaeya to ask you about you and Diluc’s relationship and you could talk about it as long as you want (you trust that he wouldn’t spread rumors about the truth, not when you hint a threat about making sure he won’t touch any alcohol in his life ever again).

If anything, all Kaeya did was to tease about how silly it was, never expecting his brother of all people to actually be that person who pretends they’re in a relationship, something that made you snort. He even offered you some advice on how to make things “believable”, something that is actually quite helpful in your opinion. 

Meanwhile, inside Dawn Winery resides Diluc who busies himself with paperwork, thinking about a lot of things, such as when’s the next scheduled items coming from other lands, a new drink he could possibly do, if whether or not you’re doing okay out there with your commissions, when you two will act like a couple again..

The red-haired man finds his thoughts traveling to images of you holding his hand as you look at him with a genuine smile, you teasingly spoon feeding him with an excuse of “making the act more believable” as you two sat across from one another in Good Hunter, you watching him make beverages across the counter with your chin on the palm of your hand whilst chatting about how exhausting your work has been and that you needed your favorite drink of his to cheer you up, you focusing deeply as you heal his injuries with your first-aid, laughing from talking about everyone’s reactions while the both of you ate dinner together in Dawn Winery on a quiet night, helping him roast some food as the both of you relax around the campfire after dealing with the abyss together–

Diluc stops writing for a moment. Since when has his heart been beating so fast? Is the room getting hotter or is it just him? Why does his stomach feel..

Oh. 

Oh.

Oh fuck. 

The red-haired man covers half of his face with his hand, and thanks to how he isn’t currently wearing his gloves, he could tell just how warm his cheeks are. 

He leans against his chair, heart sinking in realization. 

He’s in love. 

…

What is he going to do? 

He finds himself sitting across from you in Dawn Winery, with you telling him about how Kaeya already knew about the both of you as you laugh about what the Cavalry Captain said back then, not noticing the way the man looks conflicted from something that’s not your conversation. 

“And then I was literally sc–”

“We should stop this.” He interrupts. 

Your words trail off when you hear what he said, looking at him with slightly wide eyes. Stop? Stop what?

“What do you mean?” You ask. “We could uh, talk about something else if you–?”

“We should stop the act.” 

Your mouth opens agape, blinking a few times as you try to process his words. “O-Oh? Alright? What made you want to stop it?” 

“There’s no more reason for us to continue this. We can just say we broke up due to our busy schedule.” Diluc explains. You raise an eyebrow at how his words have some icy touch, as if he’s back to being the distant fighter that you once met in the cold snow of Snezhnaya, but you didn’t bother pointing that out. 

“...So does this mean we won’t have to act as if we’re a couple anymore?”

“Yes.” 

Your face falls. Why are you sad about it? Shouldn’t you be happy that another problem of your friend has gone away? 

“...I see…” 

The rest of the night was awkward to say the least. 

True to his word, the both of you had stopped acting after that night. You no longer have to expect seeing Diluc waiting for you by the gates for him to escort you to wherever you’re going, having to hold his hand while faking loving smiles nor wrap your arm around his, visiting his home daily to have your free dinner and chat with the man, everything you and Diluc had done together for your fiasco was gone just like that. 

What actually affected you was how you could no longer find him since then for the past few weeks. Instead of seeing him doing his job in Angel’s Share, you see Charles greeting you instead and make your usual order. You also couldn’t find him when he’s outside protecting Mondstadt at late hours, leaving you no choice but to go back to your home earlier than usual. You also couldn’t meet him in Dawn Winery whenever you visit the place to check on the staff if they needed anything, something about how “Master Diluc is currently involved with a lot of work needed to do.”

Huh… Is this what a breakup feels like? 

When you lay down on your bed, your heart sort of aches just from thinking about him. Did you do something wrong? Is it really a bit of a coincidence for Diluc to be so busy after breaking things off? 

You admit, you missed seeing his face almost everyday as you played pretend with him. You missed him escorting you around the city and to your home whenever he could, you missed him talking highly of you as people ask him about you while you’re beside him feeling flattered, you missed his shocked face whenever you do something unexpected with an excuse of “this is what some couples do!” in public, you missed your dinner nights together as his payment for having you do this whole crazy shenanigan with him, you missed watching him focus on patching you up after a rough night of fighting the Abyss, you missed everything with Diluc before and after this pretend situation.

To think that he could just end this whole thing with a snap of his fingers.. It’s a little sad. 

Maybe it’s just you who felt a little bit of something from his affections even when they’re false, hence why Diluc could end this so easily because he didn’t feel anything about it.

You close your eyes with a deep breath, accepting in defeat that not only did you somehow lose your friend and something you’ve grown used to, but you had also fallen in love with Diluc Ragnvindr over this stupid fake relationship. 

What broke your heart even further was when you saw him together with Jean a few times when you were outside of Mondstadt, the two of them strolling down Windwail Highland while talking about something you couldn’t hear. 

Whatever it is, you think you figured out a reason why he ended it.

He wants to court Jean. 

You ran away to your home that night, clutching the cloth on your chest with clenched teeth as you tried not to cry in heartbreak. How could you be so foolish? He wouldn’t see you that way, you’re indeed out of his level and not better than Jean, who everyone in Mondstadt loves, has a good relationship with him, has everything you don’t – Your thoughts was flooded with insecurities and negativity throughout the night until you fell asleep, only for you to wake up the next morning miserably. 

Meanwhile, Diluc was going through the same thing as you.

Even when he’s avoiding you as if you’re a plague, his thoughts of you never left him at all. If anything, it plagues him every single day more than usual as he wonders about you and your well-being. 

He wanted to come back to you, to officially make this fake relationship a real thing. 

But how? 

He doesn’t know why he’s coming to Jean of all people, but his other choices weren’t better, so he really didn’t have a choice but to come up to the woman. 

Thankfully, Jean was glad to help him sort out his feelings with her knowledge from reading so many romance novels. She helped him find a way to confess his feelings, apologize for avoiding you and for hurting your feelings, and to realize how he should cherish his feelings and that he should seize the opportunity of winning your heart! 

However, by about a week or two, Diluc hears a few.. Rumors. 

He hears from chattering adventurers in the streets about how you’re often seen doing your commissions with the Cavalry Captain, something that made his heart drop to the ground in shock. Since when did you two start doing commissions together? And as far as Diluc knows, Kaeya is not an adventurer, so why could you two be…?

No…

No.

Diluc tries not to imagine you and Kaeya being together. He can’t help but feel his heart ache even more at the thought of how you’re definitely better off with Kaeya, someone who isn’t busy with his duties as often as Diluc is, someone who could comfort you and love you with words even Diluc couldn’t say, someone who surely knows how to treat you well and better than him–

No, he can’t assume such things. He has to see this for himself.

On the other hand, you were so focused on wondering about Diluc that you didn't realize the smallest things.  

One, there wasn’t news spreading wildfire about you and the man officially breaking things off as a couple for the past few weeks, something you should’ve noticed given that people would’ve swarm around you once again, and two, a certain Captain’s the only one who noticed the way you and DIluc have been acting.

When Kaeya asked you about it while you walked around the outskirts of Mondstadt together one night, you finally broke down and confessed everything. 

“I don’t understand what has gone wrong so much.. Was this fake relationship affecting him that he wanted to end our friendship for it?!” You spoke with your lips trembling. “I just… I just miss hanging out with him, you know? He’s the reason why I was able to come back here from Snezhnaya and the only friend I had before meeting you and everyone else.” 

You continue to sob about your woes towards Kaeya, unaware of how the man’s purposefully pulling you closer to him not out of comfort, but out of hopes of making a certain watcher do something about it as the blue-haired man hides a smirk on his face.

His plan certainly worked, especially when Diluc came out from hiding and was storming towards the two of you with narrowed eyes at the sight of Kaeya’s smirk. 

However, the red-haired man stops his tracks instantly when he hears your sob, this time, he can now hear you from where he’s standing. 

You then let out a shaky breath, trying to ignore your aching heart. “The worst part is.. I fell in love with him.”

As you miserably cover your face with your hands, Kaeya rubs your back comfortingly, glancing back to see Diluc staring at you in disbelief. “Don’t be like that, dearest ( Name ). Diluc loves you too, you know? He’s just afraid of admitting it. I’m sure of it.” He reassures you. 

“How would you know? He’s probably in love with Jean – who’s so much better than me.” You spoke with a pained look. 

“She’s not better than you.” 

You let out a gasp when you heard Diluc’s voice, turning around to see him standing not too far away from you. How long has he been–?!

He takes a few steps closer. “I.. I apologize for avoiding you. I just couldn’t face you after what we did because I was confused about… everything.”

You didn’t mind how Kaeya moved away from you, continuing to stare at the man you fell in love with unexpectedly. “Everything? What do you mean..?” You asked. 

“I’m in love with you, ( Name ).” He confesses, now face to face with you as his eyes soften. “I broke off our fake act because I fell in love. I couldn’t bear to let it continue when I knew I would’ve fallen harder for you and possibly delude myself into thinking it’s real and genuine.”  

Your eyes widen, feeling like the wind has knocked your breath away from his confession. 

He then holds your hands together. “I came to Jean to help me figure things out and my mind has been cleared thanks to her. I never loved the Acting Grandmaster, ( Name ) – it’s you who I’m in love with.”

You felt your mouth open agape from your discovery. “I… I don’t know what to say. So you weren’t avoiding me because you felt uncomfortable–?”

“No, no, no, of course not.” Diluc quickly reassures you. “If anything, you’re the only person who could make me feel this comfortable. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve not been looking forward to coming back to Mondstadt so much. I would’ve not work in Angel’s Share as often as I did just so we could talk – I wouldn’t even have been this devoted to our fake relationship. I didn’t realize sooner that what I’m feeling with you is love.” You couldn’t help but feel shocked at how Diluc’s so.. Talkative. 

He slowly cups your cheek with one hand, the other still holding your hands. “I love you, ( Name ). I’ll always love you, I’ll always love your smile, your jokes even if they don’t make others laugh, your adventurous spirit, your weird ideas and suggestions – I’ll always will.” 

“Why…? You could be with someone else who’s better than me–”

Diluc shakes his head in disagreement. “There’s no one else because I don’t want anyone else but you, ( Name ).” 

He then kneels down, causing you to gasp.

“So please ( Name ).. Would you forgive me for being foolish and accept my love?”

You can’t help but glance at Kaeya’s direction, who was watching the whole thing with a smile on his face, before looking back at Diluc.

You slowly smile with a light-hearted laugh, tackling the wine tycoon with a hug.

“Of course, I will, you dork.” 

The next day, as Mondstadt has come to see another beautiful day, people around the city began to notice the sight of you and Diluc walking once again with your arm wrapped around his, causing most to gush about how cute the two of you are, unaware of how this time, this one action is genuine and real, just as much as how your love for each other is now.

Tumblr初心者のための10のTips

Twitterの混乱から他のSNSへの移行を検討するユーザーが増えてきています。移行先の一つとしてTumblrがあげられますが、ブログでありSNSでありCMSでもあるTumblrは、初心者にはかなり敷居が高いプラットフォームでもあります。

そこでTumblr初心者が、まずは目を通してほしい10個の記事を紹介します。

1.オフィシャルページ

オフィシャルページには、ヘルプセンターとテーマガーデンがあります。

ヘルプセンター

海外では実装されているサブスクリプション機能は日本国内では未実装です。

テーマガーデン

赤い星印の付いているテーマは新しいNeue投稿形式(NPF)に対応したテーマです。

2.Tumblrとは何か？

Tumblrの入門記事は、こちらのサルワカのまとめが最も分かりやすい記事になっています。

5.コードだけ配布のテーマをインストールする方法

公式のテーマガーデンだけではなく、Githubなどでもコードが配布されています。

6.Neue投稿形式(NPF)とは

Automatic社は、Tumblrの投稿形式をこれまでのタイプ別投稿からNeue投稿形式(NPF)に統一し、1つの投稿に複数のタイプのコンテンツを追加できるようにしました。

これにより、従来のテーマでは画像が正しく表示されないなどの問題が発生しています。今後はNeue投稿形式(NPF)に対応したテーマを使用する必要があります。

7.フォローすべき10の国内アカウント

アカウントを開設したら、まずはこちらのユーザーをフォローしてみてはいかがでしょうか。

8.創業者のDavid Karpについて

David Karpは広告嫌いで有名でした。当初から技術先行で収益化が後回しになっており、買収したYahoo!は大赤字でVerizonに売却する羽目になります。なぜ当初からPatreonのようなサブスクリプション機能を導入しなかったのか不思議でなりません。

9.Tumblrのこれまでの経緯について

Tumblrのこれまでの経緯についてまとまった良記事です。

10.Automatic社の今後の動向について

Automatic社は早急にActivityPubに対応する予定とのこと。そうすればThreadsやMastodonとの連携も可能になります。
