if you asked me why i like shadow so much i might say because he decided to use a gun and a motorcycle when he has chaos spears and can run faster than vehicles. but really. it's the gamer chair color scheme

[thatfrenchacademic]

Got once again told that I was "good at making conversation" and had "people and communication skills"

and that is the biggest lie I ever heard

so a girl will end up writing some sort of "practical guide to making conversation, by a recovering agoraphobic".

But also. If you need a "how to people when no social skills" guide right now, my absolute no bullshit guide is The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook (2018, 3rd ed), esp chap 8 and 10. Includes: how long is appropriate to look at someone in the eyes? What are good conversation topics for your neighbors, your colleagues, your boss, your date? How to safely practice social skills/conversation? How to handle shaking/blushing/sweating/nervous stuttering? How is talking to a group different from talking to one person? How to gracefully end a conversation? How to ask for a change at your work schedule? How to start getting better at it *progressively* without being overwhelmed?

It's not a feel good self help/self improvement book, it is not a magic remedy with secret formula, it is more of a "let's learn a new language", with homework and notes to take. Give it a try, it is very easy to find it online

Writing Notes: Self-Care Wheel

Self-Care - activities required for personal care, such as eating, dressing, or grooming, that can be managed by an individual without the assistance of others.

The Self-Care Wheel

Provides a structure for identifying and nourishing areas where you are either failing, surviving, or thriving.

The most widely used assessment wheel, created by the Olga Phoenix Project, is based on the work of Karen Saakvitne and Laurie Pearlman (described in Transforming the Pain: A Workbook on Vicarious Traumatization; 1996).

The Olga Phoenix Self-Care Wheel consists of two sheets, each containing a set of 6 dimensions placed on the outside rim of the wheel, including:

Psychological

Emotional

Spiritual

Personal

Professional

Physical

Each dimension represents an area of your life that, ideally, deserves daily attention.

The first sheet contains a suggested list of topics, placed between the spokes of the wheel below the relevant dimension.

Each item is an inspiration or a prompt to take an action that promotes nurture in that area.

The second wheel is left blank for personalization.

A therapist or coach typically supplies both sheets to a client, but there may be times (to avoid bias) where only the blank sheet is given.

Self-Care Activities for your Physical Domain

Your physical health is vital to your overall wellbeing, And, according to the American Nurses Association, it is not only the absence of disease, but also lifestyle choices that avoid preventable illnesses, maintaining a balanced mind, body, and spirit.

Journaling

Sensory engagement

Schedule aromatherapy

Do something creative, draw, paint, quilt, cook, etc.

AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING | JAKE SIM

📖 Pairing: Jake! Studious Boy! x Female Reader! Girl in Need of Tutoring!

📖 Description: The reader takes extra after-school tutoring with Jake. But one thing leads to another, and they end up hooking up.

📖 Genre: Smut.

📖 Warnings: Vulgar language, oral sex, fingering, unprotected sex.

📖 Words: 1K.

You had been taking after-school tutoring with Jake, so as usual, today you stood in front of his front door waiting for it to open.

You knocked twice on the door, which was opened by the brown-haired boy wearing dark-framed glasses. Unlike other days, today he looked incredibly handsome in your eyes, with his hair all messed up as if he'd just woken up and his uniform shirt all disheveled.

The boy noticed your rapt gaze on him, so he smiled mischievously, clearing his throat to get you to react.

"Um... Wh-what?" You blurted out, somewhat dazed, feeling the heat invade your face.

"Hey Y/N, nice to see you too." The boy smiled playfully and showed you into his house.

Shyly, you entered his room, leaving your backpack on his bed before sitting down.

"My mom will be back a little late, so we have time to study without interruptions," he murmured, not seeing you, while flipping through some notebooks on his desk.

You nodded, unable to stop the somewhat morbid thoughts from crossing your mind just by hearing that you would be completely alone in that room.

"Okay, today we'll study physics because there's an exam coming up soon," he said, turning to you with a smile.

"Okay," you nodded, following his steps until he sat next to you on the bed, placing his notes on his lap.

"Off to a good start," he winked at you, sending your nerves into a tizzy.

Jake had always had a knack for getting on your nerves, and you loved it, though sometimes you ended up fantasizing about your cute partner and how good his long, slender fingers would feel inside you.

An hour had passed by the time you'd finished the exercises he'd assigned you.

"Oh, are you done?" he murmured, leaning over you slightly.

"Y-yeah, the last two were a bit difficult, but the rest was pretty easy," you explained, a little nervously.

Jake hummed, biting his lower lip as he reviewed his notes.

"Wow, congratulations, everything's fine." Jake smiled, making you feel good about his approval. "Yes, do you want to go over the last two topics, if you're still not sure?"

"Yeah, sure," you nodded.

"Although," you saw him hesitate a little. "We can do it a different way." That came out of his lips in a low, somewhat husky tone, making your skin prickle.

"What do you mean?" you asked, unable to think of anything dirty.

"How about for every correct answer..." His hot breath caressed the skin of your neck as he leaned close to your ear. "I finger you until you cum?" His hand ran up your thigh, venturing a little under your skirt. "Although if you get it wrong, I'm going to leave you aroused and frustrated." Before pulling away, he placed a kiss on your neck, causing you to let out an involuntary gasp.

"F-fine," you nodded, feeling the heat build up in your cheeks.

You never thought Jake Sim, your classmate, the untouchable boy, would be proposing something indecent like that to you. But you didn't regret it; after all, this is what you always wanted.

"Good, sit on my lap," Jake smiled, patting his legs for you to sit on them.

You nodded, still smiling a little shyly at the current situation. You grabbed the hem of your skirt and pulled it down, leaving you in only your underwear and long stockings that covered half your thighs.

You sat on his lap, placing your legs on either side of his, giving him access to your private life.

"First question," Jake said, flipping through his workbook. "What does Newton's third law say?" His free hand ran over your thigh, mocking you every time he reached the inside of your thigh and stopped.

"Wh-why... every action has a reaction," you murmured, your voice slightly shaky from his teasing.

"Very well," his voice echoed in your ear, making your skin crawl. "I think you deserve a treat."

His hand came into contact with your clitoris, rubbing it in gentle circles as he continued searching for the next question.

"Name five measuring instruments," he asked, applying light pressure to your clitoris.

You arched your back involuntarily, resting your head on his chest.

"Ta-tachometer, spectrometer, dynamometer, catarometer, and speedometer." You spoke with some difficulty lost in the way his fingers moved over your nerve-filled knob.

"Correct," he murmured, moving his fingers at a faster pace, making it impossible for you not to moan. "What do you call acceleration?" You tried to speak after his next question. , but the way his nimble fingers were working your clit was making it impossible for you to speak. "Come on, you know this one very well," he murmured in a mocking tone.

"T... t-the speed an object acquires during the course of its movement, based on a defined amount of time." You spoke haltingly.

"What a good girl." Jake moved your panties to the side. His fingers ran over your pussy, collecting your wetness. At that action, you couldn't help but move your hips forward in search of more contact. "So wet and desperate for me to put my fingers in it," he mocked again, repeating his action. "Okay, there are a few more questions. If you answer correctly, I'll give you what you want." You nodded as best you could, making his smug smile grow wider on his lips. "What's a dynamometer used for?"

You tried to focus on the question, but the way Jake inserted a finger inside you, beginning to pump it at a slow and torturous pace, was making it impossible for you to answer that simple question.

"It's an instrument for measuring forces," you answered in a halting tone, moaning as you spoke.

"Good," he murmured, inserting another finger inside, making you moan at the sensation. "What is gravity, and what is its average value on Earth?"

"It's the f-force... that the Earth exerts on all bodies toward its center. Its normal value is 8.70 m/s²," you answered as best you could.

"Incorrect," he murmured with a mocking smile, withdrawing his fingers from your pussy.

You complained at the way he lifted you off his lap, leaving you wet and irritated from the lack of stimulation.

"Let's try something else." Jake made you settle down on the bed, getting between your legs. "I want you to read this page and then memorize it." He smiled at you, handing you his notebook. "Then I'll ask you questions. If you answer them correctly, I'll fuck you like you deserve. Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy your pussy." His agile tongue ran over the folds of your pussy, making you let out involuntary moans.

You tried to read as best you could, but your voice was choked by the way Jake licked and sucked your pussy.

"Mass is the amount of matter..." You moaned, your words cut short by the way his tongue caressed your clit. Two of his fingers traveled to your pussy, moving them quickly inside. Your legs trembled as Jake squeezed one of your thighs with his free hand, preventing you from closing them. "Wh-what has a..." You dropped the notebook, moaning desperately.

Jake crossed his arms, licking his lips, dampened by your wetness, as he pulled away from you with an amused look.

"Do you want me to stop?" he asked you in a mocking tone, seeing your whining and needy state.

At his question, you shook your head, hiding your face in your hands.

"Use your words, or I won't give you anything."

"I want you to fuck me, please. I'll do anything." You whimpered, making him smile.

"Anything?" he asked, making you nod frantically. "Well, pass the physics exam with a high grade, okay?" You nodded again, unable to form a coherent sentence. "What a good girl." He smiled as he climbed on top of you, placing an arm on either side of your head. Jake leaned down slightly, joining his lips with yours in a desperate kiss.

He pulled away from you a little, desperately removing his clothes. You took off the rest of your clothes, satisfied to finally get what you wanted after so much teasing.

Jake pulled you towards him, sitting you on his lap. His throbbing cock entered you, causing you to let out a moan, muffled by his full lips.

"Move," he ordered, squeezing your hips.

You nodded, beginning to rock against him. The skins of your skin clashed as you bounced on him, your pussy clenching around him, causing him to swear and twitch beneath you, intensifying the pleasure.

You felt that familiar knot of satisfaction deep inside you, and your movements became haphazard, indicating to the brunette that you were close to your euphoria.

"Fuck, baby, cum for me," he ordered, guiding the movements this time.

Your nails dug into the skin of his back as you moaned, feeling your body tremble as you reached your orgasm.

Jake didn't stop and continued fucking your pussy, overstimulating you with the way he pounded into you.

His hot semen spilled inside you as he finally reached his orgasm. He pulled out of you, letting you see his semen mixing with yours and dripping onto your thighs.

Gently, he helped you sit on the bed while he grabbed some wet wipes from his desk and wiped them over your body, helping you clean up.

As he helped you dress, he placed a few kisses on your lips, making you smile. But you noticed something: you couldn't find your panties anywhere. You got out of bed, about to ask Jake about them, but your face blushed as he waved them in front of you with a mocking smile.

"Can I keep these?" He smiled at you.

He put them in his pants pocket. "I promise to return them later." He winked at you, making you laugh and deny his audacity.

"Whatever you want," you laughed, sitting back down on the bed.

"Well, why don't we study seriously now?" He leaned closer to you, placing a peck on your lips. "Unless you want a second round."

"Wa-wait," you gasped as he hovered over you again.

"On second thought, I still want to see those nice tits bounce all over me," he murmured in your ear, smiling wickedly.

Apparently, the lesson would have to wait for another time.

Any recommendations for transfeminist writing by trans women?

I mean, do you want basic primer material or something deeper? Because Emi Koyama is the starting point.

Genuinely, don't let anyone tell you it's Juila Serano and Whipping Girl. It's Koyama and The Transfeminist Manifesto — which you can read [ here ] and access the rest of Koyama's writing on her website [ here ]. I find the postscript to The Transfeminist Manifesto to be incredibly important in my own understanding of what intersectional transfeminism can and should look like.

I personally think Hot Allostatic Load is written from a similar place that Koyama mentions as a blind spot / flaw of her initial articulation of The Transfeminist Manifesto in the manifesto's postscript, however it's still a decent introductory read and can be found [ here ]. Content warnings for mentions of emotional and sexual abuse, neglect, suicidality, social manipulation and harassment, among other similar potentially triggering topics (I apologize but I don't have the capacity to reread the whole piece to write a proper warning at the present — however it is written from a deeply traumatized perspective and should be approached with care if you are in a sensitive place).

Kate Bornstein is someone to just look into as a transfeminist figure, especially if you want a nonbinary transfeminine perspective. I recommend almost any interview you can find with her on YouTube. Her collections Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation are also both two of my favorite books when it comes to """earlier""" (90's pre-Koyama and 2010's) trans / transfeminist essays. I also recommend My New Gender Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving World Peace Through Gender Anarcy and Sex Positivity.

I Am A Transwoman. I Am In The Closet. I Am Not Coming Out. by Jennifer Coates is also essential reading in my opinion and can be found [ here ].

I have my qualms with Julia Serano, but she still makes the reading list as well. You can find her Medium [ here ].

I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of the book yet but A Short History of Trans Misogyny by Jules Gill-Peterson is on my TBR. I can't entirely speak to its contents because I haven't read it yet, but I've seen both enough praise and criticism of it to feel comfortable recommending it regardless, particularly as a follow up to a book like Whipping Girl by Serano.

You can also take your own time to dig through my reading list tag. In addition, because I encourage everyone to not just take my word or recommendations and do their own research, the website The Transfeminine Review has an extensive reading list of both fiction and nonfiction written by trans women and transfems that can be found [ here ]. I also recommend hitting up Trans Reads [ here ] and The Anarchist Library [ here ] for more research on your own as well.

Kuro Tetsuro, his s/o, and their first kiss

My man <3 I had to write for him, just had to make him the first character from Haikyuu I post for.

Other captains

Kuro was an interesting person, to say the least. Additionally, or maybe, because of that, he attracted just as unique people, keeping them as his friends. You, being one of them.

You met Kuro during your junior high school days, and the moment he got to know your home was near his and Kenma's he decided to befriend you. Of course, being his friend you couldn't escape his favourite sport.

There were tens, if not hundreds, of times when he made you go with him and play volleyball, even if you weren't really interested in it. Other times you would either watch as Kenma had to join him instead of you, or the three of you played together.

You actually enjoyed watching them play rather than stumble trying to hit the ball yourself. There was just something in the way he enjoyed the sport. His grins and excited eyes every time he did exceptionally well during his matches. Even his prideful and cocky personality seemed to enchant you. It was just him and him alone that had that effect on you.

You liked Tetsuro, liked his every side, no matter how irritable he could be sometimes. If you had to pick one you loved the most, it would be his nerdy side, because of his passion for volleyball, which made him simply cool, and his knowledge about chemistry, which seemed to even his cool personality, as if he couldn't be too cool. And as it wasn't all because of his big brain and surprisingly great grades in the subject, it was his puns. His usually cringy and eye-rolling puns.

Sometimes you wondered if the puns came from his friendship with Bokuto, as the owl captain seemed like a person who liked to joke, but it may as well be Fukunaga, who although was silent, his interest in jokes was well known.

You used his talent for chemistry, with his approval, or more like with him telling you to. Tetsuro proposed to help you out when he noticed the poor score on one of your tests. It first had him laughing his hyena laugh before he turned to you and told you.

"You're a lost cause. Thankfully, I'm kind enough to become your tutor."

So you did use him, as he wanted, participating in the little tutoring sessions between you two. Did they work? Maybe.. Hard to tell, as he tried his best to explain the stuff to you, and your grades were better but...

"Is it any good?" You asked hopefully after finishing some exercises from the workbook. You pushed it to your left and toward him on the table and he grabbed it.

You put your pencil in your mouth biting on it as you saw his face twisted and eyes narrowed in focus. His pencil tapped on the workbook before he looked up and turned to you.

"Nah, not really, here I'll explain it again." Tetsuro said moving the book back in front of you as he started explaining the theory and exercise to you.

Even when you sometimes didn't get it at first and he had to talk you through the topic again.

You really appreciated him for that and it made you happy that he would spend some of the free time, he could spend playing volleyball, to help you.

"Hey, no worries. Just be like a proton." He said in the middle of his explanation and at the exact moment you started feeling like you didn't get anything once again.

'Oh no..' You thought knowing pretty well what was coming. Still, you couldn't help a small "What?" leaving your mouth.

You slowly turned to look at him with his stupid grin on his face.

"Stay positive." He giggled right after the line and you felt something in you break.

Unfortunately, although he was smart and very knowledgeable, he was still your idiotic Tetsuro. And it meant situations like that were happening regularly...

"Ugh.." A groan left you as your hand moved to your temple and massaged it slowly.

"I got more." His enthusiastic voice called and before you could say anything he continued. "What do you call an acid with an attitude?"

Your silence didn't stop him. On the contrary, it fueled his need for your approval.

"A-mean-o Acid."

"Tetsu." You said slowly.

Your gaze moved to him to see his proud face looking at you with that smile. It seemed like your look was too little to dishearten him. Tetsuro moved closer to you placing his elbow on the table and leaning his head on the palm.

"What emotional disorder does a gas chromatograph suffer from? Separation anxiety." He answered to his own joke lazily, all while his eyes were stuck on you.

"Tetsuro please." Your begging voice echoed in the room making him chuckle.

And sometimes when he started he didn't know when to finish. The puns seemed neverending, you wondered where he got them from.

He sat up momentarily and leaned even closer to you.

"Wait, are all these jokes too basic for you?"

You felt your fist tightening as irritation started to gather inside you.

"Because I see no reaction."

'Please someone stop this.' You prayed in your mind.

You turned to your workbook and placed the tip of pencil on the exercise you had to correct.

"Can we go back to the-" You were cut off by his quick mouth.

"I wish I was adenine. Then I could get paired with U."

That was it, you've had it with him. You looked at him determined smacking the pencil down on the table.

His grin grew as he thought you finally liked his little pun.

"How did you-"

It was your turn to cut him off as you grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer. Your mouth smashed against his keeping him silent.

Tetsuro was shocked at your move but soon smiled into the kiss and pushed his lips against yours. His hand moved to your face as his forefinger curled under your chin.

The moment you pulled away and your eyes opened you noticed the awed gaze in his. He breathed deeply and for a moment it was silent. Finally, he was silent, with no more chemistry puns. Just him looking at you, at your flustered face but unwavering gaze.

Unfortunately, the silence was quickly gone as Tetsuro broke it with his curious voice.

"Oya? What was that for? Not that I mind."

You held his gaze.

"To shut you up. Seriously, how many chemistry jokes do you know?" You answered.

"You want to check?"

Your eyes widened not believing he had more of them. This man had to search the internet to get to know so many of them. (I know I did)

"Do you want me to make you my bromine and oxygen?" He asked and resigned you waited for him to finish.

He smirked tapping the periodic table that was placed next to your workbook. You sighed your gaze searching for the two chemical elements.

"BrO?" You asked confused.

"Of course, I'd prefer something different." Tetsuro flirted with you his finger moving to your forearm and running along it.

"Then shush and help me understand this." You smacked his hand away.

Your hand moved back to the pencil you left on the table and you picked it pointing it at him.

"If I pass my exam then we can go on a date." You declared and he straightened in his seat.

"Oya? Oya?" Your words certainly got his attention.

"Focus! And no more fun facts till we finish."

The smile fell off his face.

"But I think these jokes are sodium funny."

"Tetsu, stop."

Nevertheless, you loved him, his passionate, charming, heck even his nerdy side.

Learning Together (Lamine Yamal.)

Summary: Lamine struggles with math homework until Y/N steps in to help. Together, they tackle problems and switch to English grammar exercises, making learning enjoyable. Y/N's support strengthens their bond, leaving Lamine grateful for her presence and assistance.

Lamine sat at his desk in the cozy corner of their living room, surrounded by scattered papers and open textbooks.

He had been struggling with his math homework for hours, feeling increasingly frustrated as the clock ticked closer to midnight.

Y/N, his girlfriend, noticed his struggle as she passed by, heading to the kitchen.

"Lamine, are you still working on that math?" Y/N asked, concern lacing her voice.

Lamine sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, these problems are really getting to me. I just can't seem to figure them out."

Y/N walked over and leaned against the edge of his desk, peering at the textbook.

"Mind if I take a look?" she offered.

Lamine shrugged, handing her the open page. "Sure, maybe you'll see something I missed."

Y/N scanned the problems quickly, her brow furrowing in concentration.

"Alright, let's tackle this one step at a time," she said, pulling up a chair beside him.

Together, they dove into the math problems. Y/N guided Lamine through each problem methodically, explaining the concepts and demonstrating the steps clearly.

She encouraged him to think critically and apply the formulas they had reviewed earlier. Whenever Lamine felt stuck, Y/N provided gentle prompts and hints, nudging him in the right direction without giving away the answers.

As they worked through the problems, Lamine began to feel more confident. Y/N's patient approach and clear explanations helped him grasp the concepts he had been struggling with.

With each problem they solved together, Lamine's frustration gradually melted away, replaced by a sense of accomplishment.

Once they finished the math problems, Y/N noticed a grammar workbook on the shelf nearby.

"How about we switch gears and work on some English?" she suggested with a smile.

Lamine chuckled softly.

"Sure, why not? I could use a break from numbers."

They flipped through the grammar exercises, focusing on topics like sentence structure, verb tenses, and punctuation.

Y/N's enthusiasm for language was infectious, and she made learning grammar feel engaging and fun.

She quizzed Lamine on various rules and offered explanations whenever he had questions, making sure he understood each concept thoroughly.

Throughout their study session, Y/N's support never wavered. She celebrated Lamine's progress and encouraged him to keep going, even when the material seemed challenging.

Their shared laughter and occasional playful banter lightened the mood, turning what could have been a daunting study session into a rewarding learning experience.

By the end of the evening, Lamine felt grateful for Y/N's unwavering patience and dedication.

She had not only helped him tackle math problems and improve his English skills but had also strengthened their bond through shared learning experiences.

As they tidied up the desk together, Lamine wrapped his arms around Y/N, feeling incredibly lucky to have such a supportive partner by his side.

"Thank you for helping me tonight," Lamine said sincerely, pressing a kiss to Y/N's cheek.

Y/N smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting pride and affection.

"You're welcome, Lamine. I'm always here to support you, no matter what."

And as they stood together in their cozy living room, Lamine knew that with Y/N by his side, there was no problem-mathematical or grammatical-that they couldn't solve together.

@tokyoghoulartfight2025 character submission: Iyu 苺由 🍓

this is my self insert °>° schoolgirl who likes Kaneki very much

Name: Iyu, Sandy

Age: 12-16

Born: some point a while ago (sorry the age is a bit weird, she tends to be “whatever would appeal to Kaneki most right now”)

Education: Graduated year 10 !! still in school, but this is flexible

Gender: female

Species: human

Size: 157cm*43kg

Blood-type: o (can donate to Kaneki! ❤️)

Likes: Kaneki, anything Kaneki does ever, rice, rocks, ponds, plants, birds, fish, finding ceramics that “look like Kaneki”, stickers, strawberry, pink, milk tea, tapioca

Favorite Literature:

Whatever Kaneki is reading right now - she doesn’t understand any of it because she only knows like 5 kanji. Literally just likes it for Kaneki

Basic Japanese - A Grammar And Workbook. She borrowed this book from the library for 10 weeks to study Japanese, used it very occasionally and then reluctantly returned it to the library because she felt bad for hoarding it. Has not seen it since despite multiple visits. She misses it so bad

nature books that aren’t overly complex

Sexuality: complicated but attracted to Kaneki

Hobbies: drawing, long videos while doing other things (semi-educational), minecraft creative mode, thinking about Kaneki, learning Japanese but specifically during completely unrelated classes without structured time

Personality: (I’m not very good at these sorry) Likes to be creative and is good at tying unrelated topics back to things like Kaneki in order to focus. Will think outside the box, but sometimes this is because she misinterprets where the box is. She has a unique way of speaking and communicating with others, and often struggles when talking to strangers or people she doesn’t know well because of this. Strength of the Kaneki obsession fluctuates between “hold on why do I like him again” and “God made the whole Earth especially for him because he’s so special”. She has a general obsessive personality. Often described as autistic, but she knows there’s definitely something more going on because it doesn’t cover the more severe stuff like possible delusions in the recent past. But she is also very autistic. She struggles with characterization

Positive traits:

can draw

can make a good fried rice

strong dedication towards Kaneki

picks up most art mediums easily

will try to do her best with most things

an honest girl

She’s allegedly intelligent but she’s got this personality that makes her sound so stupid to anyone not on the same wavelength, so this sometimes gets cancelled out.

Can provide unconsensual unconditional love towards Kaneki

Negative traits:

peculiar

not very strong or useful or like anything that beneficial

is in Japan, doesn’t know Japanese

can’t explain how she got here or became friends with Kaneki. The past is blurred to her, she’s focused solely on her life with Kaneki in the moment and near future

would let Kaneki kick her to death to make him feel better

urge to cut split ends whenever she finds them, will ask to get up to get scissors to cut these split ends if they’re frayed enough

extremely bothered by polyester fabrics, not because of an allergy she just hates them

struggles socially and with being in public spaces a lot, especially with navigating crowds

often needs very specific instructions for what to do

Background: Honestly up to the person writing/drawing since I hardly ever explore the starting point of Iyu and Kaneki’s relationship, it is always just a continuous thing. I have a bit of a structure below but it’s a bit gross and I would prefer seeing what other people come up with, it’s just there in case it helps someone with the dynamic

Sometimes it branches from the idea of her making a sort of deal in her own world to go to Kaneki’s. This is specifically a timeline where he’s more isolated than before and is living on his own. She tries to be upfront about the situation and offers some special information to stop him from going to the Anteiku raid (like his suicide failing), but she omits information that would make him realize the eventual effects of that decision would make it worth it in the end. Iyu worries immensely about Kaneki leaving her for others, seeing his other friends as people she couldn’t compete with. She has a general belief that others will always be chosen before her, and in most situations will just let people slip away for someone better, but Kaneki is very different. If she fumbles this one boy she will jump off of Skytree. After somehow convincing him that it’s in his best interest to keep her around, she spends her time making gifts for Kaneki and accompanying him when he is comfortable with it. They kind of just hang out. Initially Kaneki was thinking to kill Iyu, despite the information proving useful, but he couldn’t bring himself to do that to someone who “loved him” so he put off the decision until he just adjusted to her. Sometimes he gets angry with how pathetic she can be, and her weird refusal to stop liking him when she sees him get so low, but she loves him so genuinely and he was kinda lonely before so he’s a bit attached to the attention now so now they are bros. Iyu wonders what would happen if he knew the full truth about his original future.

DOs:

Ships I'm okay with: Iyu and Kaneki (platonic\one sided), Iyu and Shuu (platonic but not as strong), any OCs that you think could be friends with my Iyu!!

Things I'm okay with: basically anything as long as Kaneki is involved in some way and it doesn’t go against my Don’ts

DON'TS:

Things I'm NOT okay with: molestation, Iyu or Kaneki dying

Ships I'm not okay with: basically anything not in the prior ship section, more if it’s romantic

trivia: she is called Iyu because it’s a strawberry name and one of my discord accounts was called Strawberry. In my mind Kaneki nor anyone else called her by any name, sometimes she’d just be gestured to vaguely or other characters would glaze over her name. She is generally more of an observer in that world anyway.

Pearls In The Essence '25

Episode 1: Growing in the Essence, An Introduction

1.1: The Meaning and The Inspiration

"Pearl in the essence (expression): A metaphorical expression signifying the pursuit of inner beauty, wisdom and intelligence. Refers to the desire to embody and grow the most valuable and refined qualities of oneself, like to the formation of a pearl, which grows into something precious from within a shell."

That's what a pearl in the essence means to me. I found it during a tough time while reading the lyrics of 'Girls Never Die' by TripleS:

‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎ "Don't need all those excuses ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎‎‎‎Wanna be the pearls in the essence ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎Let me dream even bigger now ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎These pains and trials make a better me"

That's when I decided I wanted to become the pearl in my own essence, to become better, more refined, more polished, well-spoken. No longer letting anything get to me, no longer holding on to the bitterness of the years past or the easy path of procrastinating. I decided it's time to grow out of the confinements of my shell and move on to a bigger ocean.

And so can you.

1.2: The Objectives

To preface this section, I want to say that although we may all have the same common goal, there will be little variations in ideals and goals here and there, which is perfectly normal! This will ensure that we're all aiming for something that applies to each of us individually and our own personal journeys. There will be times when I document my progress and what I'm doing, but that is not intended to force you to do the same, it's just a simple encouragement.

The general goals are to become a more refined, polished, intelligent, productive and well-spoken versions of ourselves. These ideas will vary from person to person, but the main goals and tips shared in the posts will typically be universal.

Each goal has been put into a category starting with the letter P in order to make it a lot more memorable and fun.

So, what does each main goal entail? (The P's)

Polished and Proper - How we are at home and around others

Practicing good manners and social behavior (speaking properly, saying 'please' and 'thank you') and keeping a gratitude journal (being thankful of all progress, big or small), talking slower and choosing kinder language over harsh words.

Perceptive - What we know about topics

Weekly reading (articles, books, blogs etc.), finding a topic to that piques interest and journalling on it. Taking mini courses (if possible) or watching YouTube videos on new topics.

Presentation - How we look and feel

Maintaining (or creating) a skincare routine, taking care of health and wellbeing (mental and physical), good sleep and actually setting resting time aside.

Productivity - How we are in work, school and the things we do

Daily morning journalling to plan out the day, time blocking or scheduling and weekly and monthly evaluation/'stock taking'.

1.3: Closing Notes

That's all that you need to know for now! Hopefully, the posts will be coming out every week or every two weeks (based on how busy my schedule gets), but I will try my best to make sure that the posts are on time.

In addition, in the upcoming posts, there will be a PDF version/workbook + some journalling prompts, so watch out for those!

X's and O's, Elle.

(Disclaimer: This challenge has no time limit because each person has their own situations and schedules. Posts are weekly or bi-weekly to ensure that everyone can see the general direction, but it is not a guide on how fast to go through each stage.)

A Course in Miracles Lesson 1 - Nothing I See Means Anything - David Hoffmeister

With English subtitles

A Course in Miracles Lesson 1 - Nothing I See Means Anything

A Course in Miracles - David Hoffmeister says:

"As we apply workbook lesson number one (“Nothing I see means anything”) to the perception of the world, this is the beginning of retraining our mind to see the world in a completely different way. This is the beginning of allowing the Holy Spirit to wash the mind free of judgments and preferences, hierarchies of thought. Free of belief that some things we perceive are more important than other things. This is the beginning of mind training; a very devoted practice to forgiving the world and awakening from the dream of sickness, pain, suffering and death. Of awakening from fragmented perception to true perception, and beyond to the Reality of the Kingdom of Heaven."

This recording of David Hoffmeister took place on July 30th 2015.

Mystic David Hoffmeister is a living demonstration that peace is possible. His gentle demeanor and articulate, non-compromising expression are a gift to all. David is world-renowned for his practical application of A Course in Miracles. His clarity about the function of forgiveness in spiritual Awakening and his radical use of mindful movie-watching in the release of judgment is unsurpassed. The purity of the message he shares points directly to the Source.

2-year anniversary post

My blog is now 2-years old~!

After my last anniversary post, I had quite a list of projects planned; in addition to making posts for all the upcoming SxF content, like the movie, season 2, and the video game, I had other personal projects in mind as well. I wanted to start on my Japanese Linguistic Observations in Spy x Family series, which I was able to write five posts for as of now! (I've currently exhausted all the topics I wanted to discuss for that, but I may come up with more ideas later on). There was also the Spy x Family Character Tracker, which took me a while to get motivated to do, but once I did, I'm proud of how it turned out 😃 I also made a lot of scan posts this year too, like the workbooks and my series of miscellaneous collab scans.

But compared to my last anniversary, which was at a time when there was a lot of new SxF content on the horizon, we've been in a bit of a dry spell the past several months. Hype for the aforementioned movie, game, and anime season have died down, and merch and collabs have slowed as well, since there hasn't been new anime content to promote. But I consider it the calm before the storm, lol.

This is also why my posts have gotten a little less frequent lately - there hasn't been as much new SxF content in general besides the manga chapters, and as mentioned previously, I was able to check off the projects I had wanted to do. So as of now, I don't have much new content planned in the coming year besides continuing my Chronological Analysis on Twilight and Yor series when season 3 airs (still no release date yet, but I'm betting on spring of 2025). I'll also make posts for each anime episode like I did with season 2. And of course, I'll continue my manga chapter reviews, and make merch and scan posts when I can.

I've always tried to maintain a "quality over quantity," "only write when I have something to say," mentality for the blog. I don't want to force myself to write when I'm not motivated (this is also why I don't take part in community writing projects and the like). I also have other hobbies besides SxF, so I like to focus my limited free time on those when there isn't much going on in the SxF fandom. Occasionally I think to myself, "Hm, I haven't posted on Tumblr in a while," but if there isn't anything I feel like writing about at the time, it's better if I hold off rather than force myself to churn out something uninspiring.

But as I said, I feel like we're in a calm before the storm. Season 3 will already be exciting enough, but there's a good chance more content will follow. The next Jump Festa is scheduled for late December, and as usual, SxF will have a dedicated panel with the four Forger voice actors in attendance!

The movie and season 2 were announced at this event in 2022, so there's a good chance we'll get more juicy announcements this year! Even if not another movie, I'd be happy with more artbooks, collabs, and other things down the line! There's also a good chance an idea for another SxF project will inspire me and I'll start working on that. Who knows. But I do know SxF is still a popular series with many more years of content to produce! And I look forward to seeing, and blogging about, it all 😁

Hiii I’m so sorry to bother you!, hope your day goes well <3 I just want to ask, how can I improve in maths? I’m preparing myself for the sat and I have trouble with understanding it. Any tips would be very much appreciated, thanku !! ♡

Become a Math Whiz: Acing Math Class & the SAT 📈✏️📚👩‍🏫

ty for the ask & the kind words! you are never a bother, i'm happy to help 🥰 i can def give some tips as someone who went from struggling w/ math to being good at it. and i’ve taken the SAT so i know that experience as well! i hope this helps 💗

take accountability

it’s very easy to try to shift blame & avoid taking responsibility for your grades/ performance. i used to think things like “the teacher is just bad!” or “i’m just not a math person!” but this mindset is just deflecting. some things are out of your control, like what teacher you have or preferring other subjects, but you have to step up & work hard to create your own success! remembering this will help you stay motivated and disciplined.

find your learning style

i talked about this in a previous post too, but there are different styles of learning - visual, auditory, hands-on, & reading/writing - and not all of them work for everyone. if you spend a ton of time studying and don’t see improvement or results, that’s a big sign that you’re studying wrong. a method that works for your friend or that your teacher uses might not actually be effective for you. so do some research into learning styles and study methods, and find implement strategies that work for you.

never fall behind

okay, easier said than done. but one of the biggest reasons i used to struggle is math is that i would get stuck on a concept, never fully master it, and then i’d stay behind. in math, a lot of topics build on each other. if you get stuck on a topic, it’s crucial that you figure it out asap or your confusion will snowball. you can’t build a solid structure on top of a wobbly foundation. the moment you encounter a problem area, study it until you’ve completely understood.

practice makes perfect

i try to steer clear of recommending specific study methods b/c everyone has different learning styles. but math is so dependent on problem solving & applications that you really have to master this skill in order to succeed. beyond just reviewing your notes & reading over concepts, you need to practice applying topics by solving problems. do the homework questions & do them for accuracy, even if it’s just graded for completion. find extra problems in the textbook, workbook, online, etc. redo questions from class or the hw that confused you until you can do them correctly without your notes. drill it until you can solve them AND understand how the steps work!

ask for help

i am clearly a big proponent of asking for help. in school, your teachers are gonna be one of the best resources you have. for one, they’re teachers for a reason, so even if you think they’re not too great at explaining stuff, they know the concepts. and besides that, your teachers the ones who are creating units, assigning your work, writing & grading your tests... they should be your go-to for questions. visit them during office hours or email to set up a meeting where you can discuss concepts. ask for extra practice problems, ask them to look over your work & let you know how it looks, talk through your work with them. aside from teachers, you can get help from a tutor, a classmate, whoever you can turn to. but pls don’t suffer alone! succeeding with help is still succeeding.

use the internet

so maybe your teacher truly sucks at explaining. maybe you don’t have classmates to help and can’t afford a tutor. or maybe you just wanna supplement your learning another way. i really really recommend utilizing free learning tools online!! khan academy is an obvious one for videos, practice problems, and more. you can also find tons of youtube videos explaining math topics. sometimes it helps to hear things explained another way. i also google “[math concept] practice problems” if i want extra questions to work through.

bonus: tips for SAT math

the SAT is a bit different b/c the math concepts aren’t actually too advanced. it’s all multiple choice so you don’t get to rely on partial points for showing your work. the SAT is testing your strategy & speed as much as it’s actually testing you on math concepts, so here are my best tips for that specifically:

use khan academy’s SAT prep tool - it’s free (!!!!!) and it links to your collegeboard account. it uses prior years’ SAT content so it’s very similar to the test itself. it helps you pace yourself, pinpoint your problem areas, learn & apply concepts, & track your progress. here's a screenshot from when i used it, as you can see my scores improved and i was able to ultimately get a superscore of 1450!

take practice tests - this helps you get familiar with the time constraint. khan academy has plenty!!

do a ton of SAT math practice questions - ideally, find a ton of questions used in prior SAT tests and just crank them out. the test's concepts are quite repetitive so if you just focus on the topics they usually test, you can master them

learn test-taking strategies - the SAT is multiple choice and has a tricky time constraint, so however you can save time will help. become good at using the process of elimination & other multiple choice test methods. you can find these sorts of tips online!

i hope this helps! know that you are completely capable of improving at math. i went from thinking i suck at it & doing poorly in math class to acing my calc courses & studying to enter a math-focused field. utilize your resources and figure out your best study style asap, and you WILL see improvements!
