Ej angst…so interesting and good

Eyeless Jack x reader angst
Feels like it's been a while since I've written angst! Hooray! slowly getting used to writing at my desk, thought it would take me a lot more time LMAO- the only worry i have is that my back is to the door and i wear headphones so im PRAYING no one walks in and looks over my shoulder while im writing... tempted to get a privacy screen thing but i feel like that would make people suspicious- maybe i can get something to hang on my door as a general "hey if this thing is hanging please knock or text me before youre about to come in i need privacy rn" buuuuut i dont even know if that would be respected
Notes: reader is GN
CWs: edit
Tumblr media
he does his best to make sure hes well fed around you, taking care of any sudden bloodlust before youre anywhere near him- but things do happen and... while youre still alive, things that jack isnt proud of have happened
he tries his best to patch you up after any incidents, its best not to talk to him afterwards- no amount of reassurance you send his way is going to make him feel any better
isolates himself, likely isnt going to open the door of his cabin to you unless youve already moved in with him
which that in of itself... he probably wont let you do that, no matter how deep the relationship gets- as a precaution if that makes sense
as well as giving him peace of mind that nothing is going to happen
and asides from his blood lust hunger frenzy thing, he generally doesnt much like the idea of you walking around in the woods alone- especially during colder months
has a deep rooted sense of self hatred for what hes become and what he needs to do in order to survive, thats going to take a long time to even begin to unravel- let along get him to talk about
hermit for a reason, he limits his contact with people outside of his need for food, and overtime hes... become rusty.. with socializing with people- as well as this his personality was already a bit cold and distant- its worse now
he can come off as harsh when he doesnt intend to, leading to some hurt feelings and possibly some built up resentment

already asked my dad who does this for work but Bc i have 5000 people here i might as well use my power to get advice. im probably gonna have to get a new phone within the next couple years and i refuse to get another iphone, what phones would u guys recommend . what im looking for is just something cheap (like under $500 but under $750 is bearable), good battery, acceptable camera, wont kill itself with every software update (i.e. least possible planned obsolescence) (i want it to last at least like. 5 years if thats even possible anymore), etc literally just like an average mediocre phone. i dont even know where to Start with looking for a new one tbh i just want something that wont kill itself. and preferably has a home button and a headphone jack if those still exist. but i doubt that.

I accidentally slept on my fucking phone while it was plugged in and now i miight have to replace the charge port. My regular charger wont make contact anymore (i did find one that works though) and i already tried bending the port flatter but didnt want to break the screen. Ill probably do the headphone jack too while im at it, it sometimes crackles a bit when using an aux cord. To be expected at 8 years old i guess

TWIN HEADCANONS
Slow ass tumblr isn't gonna stop me
>Jett and Jack are Puerto Rican and Italian
>Jett babysits for a family that lives a floor under their apartment and Jack tags along bc he loves to tire out the kids while Jett takes care of the baby.
>Three cats,one dog, two boys and one very overworked mom? Giant nap pile in the living room.
>Jack works nightshifts which works bc hes a night owl but also really bad bc he has school the very next day but also good bc less people yk
>Jett sticks to the babysitting, it feeds into his napping habits because by the time the parents show up, it's just this scary looking teenager on their couch, baby against his side with its head supported on his elbow and two kids watching old cartoons like looney tunes or Tom and Jerry.
>They did eventually move back to New York after a few years, they loved Canada but New York will always be their home.
>BROOKLYN BABIES they live by old Fulton by the waters.
>Internshipping with Chris?? Yk how he forgot to feed the interns that one episode? Yeah, Jett was running on a caffeine high and Jack was foaming at the mouth like an animal with rabies bc he had too much candy.
>those crashes were the worst bc they looked dead and it took a while to recover
>Genderswapped tho???
>Jess' cats are the dumbest motherfuckers known to man. They somehow end up in Canada at Jody's place for food.
>Jace's cat is the only normal one. Mostly. If it isnt the middle of the night.
>Back to normal, them cats are crazy but they also have a dog. His name is Wally :3
>The boys love their pets, although Jack wont stop feeding the pigeons outside so ig they have birds too.
>Jack came out those sewers dressed like a ninja turtle and Jett pulled up with a hotdog.
>The twins didnt use the steel wool rope Cheis had. They're new Yorkers. New Yorkers find ways to graffiti on trains that are in the air and on buildings they probably dont live in.
>wait
>sorry I remembered how a lady climbed onto the statue of Liberty in protest. Bc the twins scamper up the statue like squirrels.
>Jett definitely has blackmail on people. Because he talked to Sierra.
>Jack is still afraid of Sierra. Very afraid. Jett is mostly indifferent now but. He can feel the glare sometimes on his back when he talks to Cody.
>genderswapped twins are the same. No matter the gender, the twins fear Sierra and her strength. Never her height, they think shes cool for being tall but they fear her strength and mindset. She's unpredictable and they grew up with unpredictable. They dont like her.
>when Jett naps, Jack sits with him and the cats join. Wally joins too but he wakes Jett up by accidentally smothering him bc hes a very big dog.
>Jack never naps, hes running on sugar and a will to live.
>Jett runs on one iced vanilla frappuccino.
>Jack can be very mean, when push comes to shove. Hes gonna shove and hes gonna shove hard. He will defend people and wont hesitate to get nasty
>Jett has a soft side, he's open to those who need a shoulder to vent to. He'd have his headphones on but when he tilts his head towards you, you know hes listening.
>they dont know how weather works. Not all the time.
That's all I have for today!! I'll reblog this and add more when I come up with more!! You're also open to make headcanons of your own about the twins or ask about them!!

Drawn to You | Corpse Husband x Fem! Reader
Warning:  Makeout, This is a lil long (I got carried away)
Word count: 3859
It was a typical night for you. You had your music playing faintly in the background while you were writing notes for your anatomy & physiology class when you felt your phone vibrate violently on your desk, which caused your French bulldog, Royal, to wake up from his snoring slumber on your lap. With an annoyed huff, you pick up your phone and notice your best friend Rae had texted you numerous times.
Rae 😴
Hey!
Among Us!
Now!
Need 10th person!
Pleaseeeeee
You stared at the messages for a minute. You were confused on why she asked you of all people. You were the opposite of the many streaming friends she had who were loud, funny, and all around GOOD at games. Your shy character would not fit well on her stream and you knew that. Plus, the only games you’ve played are Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, which requires no communication with people and you preferred it that way.
You
Why me? I’m in the middle of writing notes.
Rae 😴
There’s this person I want you to meet!
He’s really nice and you’ll warm up to the group in no time, I promise!
I won’t let them be mean to you 😤😤
They’re nice ppl anyway so they wont be mean lol
You
Okay.. let me load up my discord
Rae 😴
Yayy!
I already bought among us for you last time I was over so you’re good to go!
‘What? When did she find the time to buy the game for me? We were literally together the whole time she was here.’ You thought, but quickly dismissed it and loaded up discord. Right as you got online, you got an invite from Rae. You quickly grabbed your headset and adjusted your mic before joining the call. You petted Royal in an attempt to calm your nerves as you saw 9 peoples profile pictures appear in front of you. You only recognized Rae’s, of course.
“Hey, (Y/N)!” Rae exclaimed, “Guys, this is my best friend (Y/N)! Introduce yourselves!”
“Hi, I’m Toast!” Said the man with the toast icon. You smiled at his profile picture. You found it cute.
“I’m Jack!” Said an Irish voice. You know Jack. You used to watch his videos a lot.
“I’m Poki!” Said a girl with a really sweet voice, “Nice to meet you!” You were about to say hello back when someone else chimed in.
“Hello, I’m Felix!” You recognized that Swedish accent. He was the most well known YouTuber, of course.
“Nice to meet you!” Said a really soft voice, “I’m Sykkuno!” His voice reminded you of an anime boy. You smiled to yourself.
“Hi, I’m Lily!” Said a really cute and high pitched voice. 
“Hi everyon-” You went to introduce yourself properly until you got cut off.
“I’m Corpse.” Said a deep, attractive voice. Your eyes widened for a second, his voice catching you off guard.
“H-hello,” You attempt to say hello again but this time you’re a little shaken up by Corpse’s voice, but you get it together by petting Royal once again. “I’m (Y/N). It’s nice to meet you all!”
“Your voice is so adorable!” Says Lily. You smile at the fact that someone who’s voice is equally as adorable complimented yours.
“Thank you!” You respond, “Your voice is adorable too, Oh my God!” 
Lily giggles at your compliment. “Alright!” Exclaimed Rae, “Ready to play (N/N)?” You quickly realized you forgot to load up Among Us before hand. You were silently kicking yourself for not doing such a simple thing. Now they’re gonna have to wait longer to play because of you and they already waited long enough for you to join the discord call.
“Um..” You stall as you hurriedly click on the Among Us icon. “I’m so sorry. I forgot to load it up.. but it’s loading right now!” Your eyes are glued to the screen as if it’ll make the game boot up faster. 
“That’s okay.” Said Corpse in the most kind voice. “It won’t take that long.” You feel heat rushing to your cheeks just by hearing his voice. Who is this man and why is he making you feel like this?
They all agreed with Corpse and continued chatting about whatever they were chatting about before you joined the call. You were half listening as you were trying to figure out what to do as the game loaded up. Just as you were about to ask Rae, Corpse sent you the game code through a private message. You typed “Thank you!” as you quickly entered your name and then the game code.
“Woo! (Y/N)’s here!’ Said Rae happily. “Choose your color and your hat!” ‘Where do I do that?’ You thought to yourself but quickly found it. You wanted to be pink but it wouldn’t let you choose it.
“Why isn’t it letting me choose pink?” You asked. 
“It’s because Corpse is pink.” Explained Lily. “He took it from me too.” She said with a sad, but funny, tone.
“I can be a different color.” Corpse said and quickly changed his color from pink to white. 
“Oh, Thank you!” You said happily and picked a flower to match it.
“No problem.” He said and you could hear the smile in his voice. It made butterflies appear in your stomach.
“Are you kidding me?!” Said a laughing Lily. “I literally ARGUED with you about letting me have pink!”
“I sense something happening...” Cooed Rae in a sing songy voice. The whole group then erupted in “Ooooo’s”. This made you blush. You covered your face even though they couldn’t see you and Corpse chuckled, which only made you blush more.
Before the game started they all explained to you how to play so you wouldn’t be lost. This calmed your nerves a bit and when the game started you were happily going around the ship completing your tasks. Watering the plants was your favorite so far since you found it satisfying how the plants grew. You saw Corpse run up to you and you made your character step away a bit because you didn’t want to get killed. He instead ran circles around you and you decided to follow him for the rest of the game for safety. You both encountered Rae and Toast by the vending machines but didn’t think much of it and waited for Corpse to finish his task. Until Rae killed you and Toast killed Corpse. “A double kill?!” You shouted to yourself, causing Royal to wake up and slowly get off your lap. “I’m sorry buddy..” You said to him as he laid down in his dog bed. You turn your attention back to the screen as someone found you and Corpse’s dead bodies.
“Um, bodies found by the vending machines.” Said Felix who didn’t sound all too confident. “Jack where were you?” He asked.
“I was in..” As Jack was about to explain himself you heard a ‘pop’ emit from your headphones and saw a red dot by the messages icon. You clicked it and saw it was a message from Corpse. You completely stopped caring about the arguing going on through your headphones as Jack was trying to claim innocence.
“I like your flower :)” It read. You smiled big and immediately typed back.
Your fingers hovered over the keys thinking about what to type back but you settled on a simple “Thank you :D”.
After two games or so everyone got tired and decided to head out. You all said your goodbyes and watched as each person slowly began to leave the call. You didn’t want to leave until you were sure everybody was gone. Everybody left but Corpse. “Hey..” He said, sounding a little shy but it was probably just because he was tired.
“Hi!” You said a little too excited. You immediately wished you could reword what you said a little calmer.
“So, uh..” He began, “Could I possibly get your number? For Among Us games I mean?” He didn’t sound too sure of himself but him asking this made you beam with excitement.
“Of course.” You said calmer than before, “But I don’t know what help I’d be as I’m terrible at this game.” You giggled.
You typed in chat your number, your fingers shaking slightly. “Nah, I liked playing with you.” He said more confident, “You make it more fun. Even though I haven’t ever spoken to you before.” He chuckled. You smiled at his words. Butterflies formed in your stomach hearing him laugh.
You and Corpse chatted a bit more until he decided he should go, but you wished you guys could have kept talking the whole night. You felt this connection with him that you couldn’t put into words. It felt so easy for you to talk to him and you didn’t feel as nervous around him as the others you met today. There was something so calming about him that washed your fears away. You shook your head from the thoughts and told yourself that you just met him today, you shouldn’t get ahead of yourself but it was hard not to.
You were laying in your bed scrolling through twitter when you got a text.
xxx-xxx-xxxx
hey its corpse
is this (Y/N)?
Your heart skipped a beat. You were excited Corpse texted you so fast, hoping you two could continue talking.
You
That’s me!
I thought you were going to sleep?
Corpse🥺🖤
nah i hardly ever sleep i just left because i didnt want to keep you up
i really enjoyed playing with you
You
I enjoyed playing with you too
We should play together again soon
Corpse🥺🖤
definitely
You’ve begun to become really good friends with Corpse over the past week. You and him would facetime each other whenever you could. You always were on facetime with him, actually. Whenever you were studying, you guys were talking. Whenever he was editing, you guys were talking. When you were about to go to bed, you guys were talking. 
Right now, you guys were facetiming as you were studying for an upcoming exam and he was trying to stay awake. You liked having him around when you were studying even if it was through a phone. You didn’t feel pressured to talk or have to worry about an awkward silence with him. It was comfortable silence.
You started to worry that you were keeping him up, though. “You can go to bed if you want,” You said softly as you looked up from your textbook to the black screen propped up against a few books. “ I don’t want to keep you up. You need some rest.”
“No..” He muttered, “I like having you around..”
“I like having you around too Corpsie but we can talk when you wake up.” You told him a little sternly in an effort to convince him to go to bed.
“Can I ask you something?” He asked out of the blue.
You paused before answering and shifted your gaze to the black screen once again. “Yeah sure, go ahead.” 
“Do you want to maybe stay over here for a bit?” He asked, “Whenever you’re free, I mean. If you don’t want to I get that too I just feel so drawn to you I want you closer to me. Is that weird? I’m sorry if that’s weird. Actually, forget I said-”
“I’d love to come over.” You told him with a smile. “When would you want me to be there?”
“As soon as possible.” He said in his raspy, tired voice. Butterflies formed in your stomach and you felt your heart skip a beat. This man was something else.
“I can be over there in the morning..” You start, “I just have to pack and everything. Is it okay if I bring Royal? I don’t want to leave him with my sister.” You look over to Royal sleeping peacefully on your bed, snoring away.
“Hell yeah!” Corpse exclaimed, “I love animals! Bring him over.” You giggled at his excitement.
Corpse ended up falling asleep soon after and you ended the call. As you were getting ready for bed you began to think of what Corpse’s place would be like and what you guys would do. You were definitely going to show him Stardew Valley, that was for sure. You pondered the thought of you finally confessing to him that you wanted to be not just his friend, but girlfriend. You’ve been wanting to do it for awhile now but you get too scared and end up chickening out, so you figured if he liked you like you like him, he’d make the first move. You started to make up scenarios in your head about finally hanging out with Corpse in person as you drifted off to sleep, hearing Royal snoring peacefully in the background.
It was the next morning and as soon as you woke up you changed into your favorite outfit and began to pack. You didn’t know how long you were staying for but you decided to pack about 2 weeks worth of clothes just to be on the safe side. Royal was sitting on the floor watching you as you hurried from your closet to the suitcase on your bed. You were happily humming as you were excited about the day. You heard your phone buzz and you quickly grabbed it from your bed as you saw the name pop up on the screen.
Corpse🥺🖤
hey :) 
heres the address:
You
Thanks! and hello 😊
You two texted until you were ready to go. You were definitely NOT looking forward to driving two and a half hours from LA to San Diego but you were so excited to see Corpse that the dread of the long car ride washed away.
You put Royal into his harness and plopped him in the back seat. He looked at you confused since he rarely ever gets to go for rides in the car. “We’re going to see a friend!” You tell him while petting his head. He then laid down and began to close his eyes.
After what seemed like forever you were finally outside Corpse’s apartment. You grabbed Royal and attached his leash to his harness and then proceeded to grab your giant (and heavy) suitcase out of the trunk. You struggled getting the suitcase up the apartment building stairs but you managed. You felt a sense of relief that his apartment building had an elevator so you didn’t have to deal with more stairs. The ones at the entrance were enough. While you were waiting for the elevator to take you to his floor you took this opportunity to text him.
You
On my way up!
Almost immediately after you sent it he read it. He started typing but the three dots quickly disappeared. Before you could question it the elevator doors opened to his floor. “Come on, Bud!” You said to Royal and motioned for him to go ahead. Royal got up from his sitting stance and lead the way. After passing 2 other doors, you were at Corpse’s. You knocked two times.
You heard shuffling on the other side and the door knob turning shortly after. Before you knew it, Corpse was in front of you. His eyes were looking at yours. You immediately smiled. “Hi.” Corpse said with a slight smile as well.
“Hi..” You said shyly. You didn’t know how to react now that he was in front of you and not behind a screen. He stepped aside and motioned for you to come inside. You entered his apartment and set your suitcase by the couch. Royal was pawing at Corpse’s leg, begging for pets.
“Aww, hi buddy!” Corpse said excitedly. “He’s so well behaved.” Corpse was talking to you now.
“Yeah, it took work though.” You laughed slightly. “Your place is really nice.” You said as you looked around. You noticed all of his mirrors were covered up, but you decided not to ask him about that. He probably had his reasons.
“Thank you.” Corpse said as he looked at you. “You look pretty.”
You blushed and turned your head away from him so he couldn’t see your pink cheeks. “Thank you.”
Corpse cleared his throat, “So uh, I don’t have a guest bedroom so I’ll take the couch for however long you want to stay.”
You quickly shot your head at him. “No no no I’m not letting you sleep on the couch in your own apartment.” You argued with him.
“Well, I’m not letting you sleep on the couch.” Corpse stated.
“Then we’ll share your bed.” You said with a shrug and headed towards his room to set your suitcase down, Royal following closely behind you. You didn’t see anything wrong with it. You and Rae share one whenever you guys sleep over at each other’s house and you thought this was no different
“O-okay.” He responded and quickly followed after you, “So, this is my room.” he said as you and him both entered.
“I like it!” You exclaimed as you looked around. You liked how dark it was in there. You smiled at him and he smiled back at you. That smile.. You thought and quickly fumbled with your suitcase as you set it down by his closet. Corpse came closer to you.
“Can I give you a hug?” Corpse said a little shyly, as if I’d say no.
“Of course!” You said and wrapped your arms around his neck. He was taken aback but quickly put his hands around your waist. You caught a whiff of his mild cologne which made you want to stay in the hug a little longer. You didn’t want to be weird though and pulled away from the embrace.
“I’m really happy you’re here.” He said as he looked into your eyes. I could kiss him right now, oh my God. Your mind raced, but you managed to get out some words.
“I am, too.” You said.
It’s only been about a day since you’ve been over at Corpse’s. Sharing the bed seems to be no big deal as he barely seems to sleep. You so far liked being there with him.
Right now, you were on the phone with an overly excited Rae.
“You’re at his HOUSE?!” She yelled excitedly in your ear. Your face cringed a little bit from the yelling.
“Yeah,” You told her, “He has a really nice place.” You said as you scanned his living room.
“I knew you guys would hit it off!” Rae said, “I should be a matchmaker or something.” You blushed at her comment.
“Nothing’s happened yet.” You said quietly, not wanting Corpse to hear you.
“Girl, you’re at his house.” Rae said in a obvious tone. You rolled your eyes.
“This could just mean he likes having me over as a FRIEND.” You told her. You were hoping that wasn’t the case though and Corpse did have feelings for you. You smiled at the thought.
“You are so oblivious.” Rae said with a sigh, “Anyway, I gotta go workout. Love ya! Hope everything goes well!” She said the last part in her sing songy voice.
“Love you too!” You said back and ended the call. What do I do now? You thought. Corpse was streaming so you couldn’t hangout with him right now and your physics class isn’t till a few hours. You were hungry, though, and decided to cook some lunch for you and Corpse. It’ll be a nice surprise for him. You smiled at the thought.
You made your delicious Dorito taco salad that you love so much. You made a bowl for Corpse as well and took it to his room where he resided. He didn’t seem to be streaming anymore and was just scrolling through Twitter on his computer.
“I come with food!” You say as you place the bowl down in front of him. You seem to have startled him as he jumped slightly when you spoke. He examined the bowl suspiciously.
“What is this?” He says cautiously of your creation.
“It’s Dorito taco salad.” You explain, “It has crushed up Doritos, of course, shredded chicken, lettuce, olives, and sour cream in it.” He seemed to be skeptical of it, which was a given every time you made it for someone new, but people ended up loving it when they tasted it. You were confused as to how many people found it weird since your mom made it for you when you were a kid a ton, so you were used to the delicious lunch dish.
“Okay.” He said and took a bite of it. His eyes lit up. “Oh my god, this is so good!” He exclaimed and took another bite. You giggled with excitement that he loved it like you did.
You both ate together and laid down on the bed as you talked about random things that were going on in your lives. You guys were laughing at a joke Corpse said until Corpse got serious.
“I have to tell you something.” Corpse said and looked into your eyes.
“Okay,” You said confused, “Go ahead.”
He took a deep breath. “I like you.” He confessed, “Like, romantically. I have for awhile now actually and I don’t know what it is about you and I thought I was done with love but you make me feel so happy and different from anyone else I’ve talked to. You don’t have to feel the same way but I couldn’t keep my feelings in for any longer.”
You paused for a moment. Is this actually happening? Are you in a dream? “I like you too, Corpse.” You say softly. His eyes beam with excitement..
“Really?” He asks.
You laugh at his bewilderment. “Yes, really!”
He tackles you in a hug on the bed. You giggle from his excitement. He’s on top of you and he lifts his head up from your neck to look you in the eyes. You get a rush of emotions as you see the care and love in his eyes as he’s looking at you.
You blurt out what you were thinking in that exact moment. “Kiss me.”
He leans in and kisses you softly. One hand is holding him up on the bed as the other is cupping your cheek. You take one hand and tangle it in his hair. This causes him to deepen the kiss with you. The kiss turns rough. You’re both so in the moment you don’t want to come up for air but you guys manage to keep going by taking in air when your lips part for brief moments. The hand that was cupping your cheek is now next to your head, taking the responsibility of holding him up. The other hand is trailing up and down your thigh, squeezing your thigh tightly ever so often. You eventually break the heated kiss and look up at him. You were hoping he could see the love you had for him in your eyes.
“I liked that.” You say smiling.
He chuckled at your words. “I like it too.”

hi honeyyy can i have nsfw a-z alphabet for tsukishima please 👉👈? thank you 💞
I’ve had this in my inbox for like a month I am SORRY.
*deep inhale* TSUKKI FUCKERS RUN IN HERE AND GET Y’ALL JUICE
NSFW Alphabet: Tsukishima Kei
Tumblr media
Gn!reader focused
Nsfw under the cut but you knew that...
𝕬 - 𝕬𝖋𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖊
I actually feel like he’s not too big on this part. He will 100% do what he needs to make you feel comfortable if he’s been particularly hard on you, but he will do the bare minimum, simply because he’s not the best at being very soft. It’s just not him. I feel like he actually would prefer to be alone and recollect himself rather than cuddle and do pillow talk. That doesn’t mean that he won’t if you need it, he most definitely will because he knows how important it is. Just don’t expect to be babied.
𝕭 - 𝕭𝖔𝖉𝖞 𝕻𝖆𝖗𝖙
FINGERS FINGERS FINGERS I WILL NOT STOP SCREAMING ABOUT THEM! They’re long and slender- they always fit perfectly inside or around your neck or in your mouth and just... yes. Yes to his fingers.
For him, it’s all about the eyes. He loves looking at your eyes and the various emotions they convey to him, be it adoration, panic, arousal, devotion… he loves looking directly into your pretty eyes as he takes you.
𝕮 - 𝕮𝖚𝖒
In your mouth. I can’t explain why I’m right but I’m right. I don’t think he’s a fan of mess per-se, but from time to time he will want to cum on your face/chest for a lil ✨humiliation✨. I’m also positive he drinks water so when he tells you to swallow it won’t be radioactive or thick like tar. Good job to him for that. (God the bar is on the mf floor)
𝕯 - 𝕯𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖞 𝕾𝖊𝖈𝖗𝖊𝖙
You caught him jacking off one time and he actually makes the prettiest noises- he’s usually pretty quiet with you but by himself it’s actually symphonic how desperate he sounds. He doesn’t know you saw him, but now you ONLY think about how his name spilled out of your lips each time you touch yourself too.
𝕰 - 𝕰𝖝𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖊
Has much more experience in theory than in practice. He’s VERY knowledgeable about topics primarily based on his own research. He can implement just about anything to your liking though, which is the real reason he’s a great fuck. He’s adaptable without sacrificing too much of his own pleasure.
𝕱 - 𝕱𝖆𝖛𝖔𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖊 𝕻𝖔𝖘𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓
This can go one of two ways imo- If he’s feeling lazy, he’ll sit in a chair and have you ride him. If he’s actually putting in work, he’ll hold one of your legs up/back (never both bc it’d probably kill you) or he’ll flip you into doggy, but he’ll make sure you keep your arch as low as possible, so you’re almost parallel to the mattress.
𝕲 - 𝕲𝖔𝖔𝖋𝖞
Lmfao no.
𝕳 - 𝕳𝖆𝖎𝖗
He’s very well groomed as well. His hair is darker than his blonde locks, but he prefers keeping it short and neat. Not completely shaven, but trimmed on a schedule tbh. Also never smells like ball sweat.
𝕴 - 𝕴𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖆𝖈𝖞
You would think a super sadist like Tsukishima doesn’t do the romantic gestures, but he does little things like making sure you’re stable and secure when he’s holding you up, or giving some VERY light praise when you take him well- you have to put attention or you’ll miss them.
𝕵 - 𝕵𝖆𝖈𝖐 𝕺𝖋𝖋
Tries his best to act like he doesn’t- but he does fairly often. Probably once a week tbh. He makes sure that he’s completely alone tho, because he’s very vulnerable and loud… also aggressive? It’s just a complete 180 from what he’s like with you and he doesn’t want you to know that. But he whines and whimpers the entire time, cumming in his fist and laying there convulsing.
𝕶 - 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖐
Sadism is the overall mf flavor. But we knew that. Let’s delve a little deeper:
Impact Play, yes very much. Likes spanking as a punishment, but will also slap you in the face from time to time, especially if you’re not answering him or being loud enough to his liking.
Temperature Play, prefers using heat over cold, so he would definitely be into wax. Also turns on the heat in your room when you’re fucking like it’s hot yoga or some shit.
Degradation/Humiliation, has you make messes on purpose, just so he can tease you about it later. Calls you mean names the entire time- but they’re peppered with the tiniest praises, he will follow pretty with cockslut, and such. Will ALWAYS refer to you as his “messy little bitch” without fail. It’s his go-to. Also a fan of “fucktoy” and “pathetic cocksleeve”
Auralism, specifically likes when your moans are choked out sobs, or when you work your voice so raw that it gets scratchy and hoarse. Likes to hear you in general, and will always ask you for a response. Also talks you through your orgasms with little things like “that’s it” and “keep cumming”
Dacryphilia, oh god he loves to see you cry. That’s the one thing that can make him cum almost immediately.
He also HATES a bratty sub. Needs someone who is very obedient. Likes to be called Sir.
𝕷 - 𝕷𝖔𝖈𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓
Literally ONLY in private. He’s all about control and knows that he can assert that control in every way possible in the bedroom. And even though he gets off on humiliation, it’s only when he’s the one doing it- proving he owns you without the threat of lingering eyes.
Would be the type to totally soundproof a room in your house tho, if you’re picking up why I’m putting down. Has gotten several “home improvement” project ideas from kinktok.
𝕸 - 𝕸𝖔𝖙𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓
His goal is to break you. No matter how many times he’s done it before, he always wants to see that perfectly fucked out glassy sheen coat your eyes as they’re filled to the brim with tears- and complete devotuon and total submission to him.
𝕹 - 𝕹𝕺!
He is never going to submit to you. It’s just not going to happen. Give it up, deelishis.
𝕺 - 𝕺𝖗𝖆𝖑
Is not the biggest fan of going down on you, prefers using his fingers/other toys. But he LOVES facefucking you. Especially if he can make you cry with how much his cock is bruising your throat.
𝕻 - 𝕻𝖆𝖈𝖊
It’s mostly even. Mostly. He definitely will edge as a punishment, snapping his hips into you violently, only to stop completely just when your eyes start to roll back. He definitely likes to maintain control of his own orgasm though so he likes to keep a nice even pace if you’re not being a brat.
𝕼 - 𝕼𝖚𝖎𝖈𝖐𝖎𝖊
Wont outright fuck you in public but would use remote controlled toys on you. He prefers taking his time with you, building you up super slowly so that he can knock you the fuck down in an instant.
𝕽 - 𝕽𝖎𝖘𝖐
If you think you can try him, no you can’t. He will shut it down IMMEDIATELY. Again, he’s not one for super public scenes, so he’s good at keeping a poker face whenever you decide to get bold… but you have to be prepared because your punishment is either going to be super harsh or nothing at all- and I honestly can’t tell you which is worse when it comes to him.
𝕾 - 𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖆
It depends on how he’s feeling. If you’ve been good he’ll get right to the point but if you’ve been disobeying him then be prepared to have your sessions drawn out. He can go on edging you for hours and not feel a single thing. He can still last a relatively long time if he’s actually fucking you as well, a good 45-an hour before he even thinks about cumming. And that’s just thinking about it. He can still go a bit longer after the fact. He won’t cum until you’ve cum at least 2-3 times if he’s being nice.
𝕿 - 𝕿𝖔𝖞
He has a few toys that he likes to use as punishment, primarily small vibrators that he can put inside of you to have you coming undone before he even touches you. When he finally does, you're a wet, whining mess and all he has to say is that you’re pathetic for not being able to even wait for him to touch you.
𝖀 - 𝖀𝖓𝖋𝖆𝖎𝖗
Hates being teased. Don’t even try or think about trying it. Doesn’t necessarily tease you either, at least not TOO much. Will edge you to hell and back though.
𝖁 - 𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖚𝖒𝖊
Doesn’t want to give you the satisfaction of hearing how pretty he truly sounds, so a lot of his moans come out as long sighs and deep grunts that he catches in the back of his throat. And that’s only when he’s close.
He does talk a lot though, and is vocal in that sense- you’ll hear a lot of commands from him. You have to ask him for permission to cum, so there’s a lot of call and response when it comes to your sessions.
𝖂 - 𝖂𝖎𝖑𝖉𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖉
He has this fantasy where he’s essentially his partner’s sex toy master and you’re the toy, He would use remote-control vibrators to make you come throughout the day. You don’t get a say in when you come, it’s just whenever he wants. In front of your boss, on the train, when you're trying to go shopping, whenever. It’s equal parts humiliating and sexy for you both, because you can’t stop orgasming. You’re completely at his mercy.
𝖃 - 𝖃-𝕽𝖆𝖞
He’s a good size, a solid 6.5-7 with a decent girth. More of a shower than a grower and actually has a fairly pretty dick. Fair but even in color, suuuuper pretty and pink at the head.
𝖄 - 𝖄𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌
Even though he’s about exerting complete control, and also the type to never let on that he’s needy, he is. His sex drive is slightly higher than yours... But you’d never know. He’s just that good at 1) covering it up, and 2) flipping the script to always make you seem like cockhungry one... asshole
𝖅 - 𝖅𝖟𝖟
No sleeping. Tbh I feel like he’s one of those people who actually gets a burst of energy after. But he’s not sleeping at all. He’s just gonna go back to his headphones or some quiet activities until you wake up.

Ghost Slander
I know I’ve done this before sorta but this is the Finial List of all the shit that’s really just bad about them. the first half of each is serious bad stuff and the second half is just silly annoying shit they do. I am not apologizing for this so that’s that on that. I also still love them anyways.
Papa I:  too old to do anything. he may be strong and smart, but he’s old, and tired, and gets grumpy when he’s tired. and when he’s grumpy hes a fucking asshole. he really doesn’t want to do anything, like go out for a fun day in the city, or try new things. can’t teach an old dog ne w tricks, and he doesn’t even try tricks he’s known about for forty years. He can be boring, and he can be punchy and shitty when he’s annoying (I don’t mean like punchy as in hitting, just you know when you were grumpy as a kid and you get really irritated and annoyed and kind of just wanna have a hissy fit and cant control it???? that.)
Papa II:  Super emotionally unavailable and it just becomes taxing to try and get him to open up unless he’s ready and willing - which, spoiler alert, will never happen. He really does have a shitty temper and when he gets angry he sees red. Refuses to delegate tasks to other people around him because he thinks no one else can do it right. When he does, no matter what they do it’s never good enough and he makes all his interns cry and/or quit. for fun: he gets the “man flu” in which he will not take medication or go to the doctor until he literally has muscle dystrophy. thinks Advil or Tylenol is some hippy bullshit brainwashing pill invented by liberals that are trying to trick him into being happy. conspiracy theories. thinks aliens built the pyramids. watches ancient aliens in his spare time and never shuts up about it. Unable to use technology, and falls asleep in “special chair” at home. 
Papa III: cant take no for an answer. he doesn't understand when someone refuses his advances because all of the girls in the clergy falling all over him his whole life has made his head a little too big. if you want major fucking ego, he’s the brother for you. if you don’t want flowers, and you don’t want random extravagant things, he’s not the brother for you, because if you tell him you don’t like the things he’ll assume you hate him and decide that you shouldn’t be together anymore. sure, it comes from a place of caring and wanting to spoil his s/o, but fuck, bro, tone it down. He’ll also talk at you for hours even if you’re not listening just because he loves the sound of his own voice. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to do something else, or are tired, or you just don’t care, he’ll stop talking when he’s ready and only then. For fun:  at a kids soccer game he would be That Dad that screams at the other kids like hes the assistant coach and probably be drunk and fist fight the other drunk dads in their lawn chairs. makes his s/o wax his back before they go to the beach or anywhere he has to be shirtless. its gross and hairy and he wouldn't care if his s/o didn’t bully his persian-rug body into it so hard one time he canceled a vacation. 
Copia: He has no back bone. He’ll work until people give him what wants but he’ll never come right out and say it, in any kind of relationship or work. You’ll constantly be guessing whether or not what he said has a second meaning and if it’s really want he wants or he’s been waiting for you to figure it out the whole time. It’s fucking annoying. He’ll never be the one to put his foot down, or silence a room, or command attention like the other papa’s have, he just doesn’t have it in him. For fun: Calls his stomach his “spare tire” like what the fuck who says that?? Talks to everyone, you literally have to drag him away from talking to strangers. The person next to him at the cafe has their headphones in and he’s just chatting away. Small talk but just gets worse, and he subjects everyone to it.  rides one of those bikes where you're basically lying down and doesn't shut the fuck up about how low impact it is on your back and knees. thinks the government is out to get him and everyone else but doesn't put two and two together and still has a google home thing or an alexa, buys that facebook skype camera thing for your tv that literally follows you when he walks. he just thinks their neat.
Dewdrop: Has a hot temper and genuinely gets mean when he lashes out. He doesn’t care that everyone has to chase after him all the time and has no remorse for what they have to do for him or what he ruins for them. He’s gonna do whatever he want’s whenever he wants and no one can tell him otherwise - everyone thinks this is so fun and quirky and great until it’s been a few months and they’re wondering why Dew hasn’t calmed down even a little. He’s too self obsessed to even care what other people want for him. A total mess wherever he goes, eats all the soap and candles and doesn’t replace them. 
Swiss:  saying someone is too good at everything doesn't sound like an insult, but it does when they brag about it. Swiss has always been the multi ghoul, meaning hes always been pretty good at everything, but never specialized in something. so rather than do more to hide the fact he’s a jack of all trades but master of none, he just brags about every tiny little thing he does. hes like 6′ but his ego is like 8′4″. Insanely jealous in relationships which can cause problems. he’s a liar. there. i said it. unless he’s your s/o, if his mouth is moving, it’s probably a lie. whether hes bigging up his own adventures, or trying to cover his tracks about where he was and who he was with, its probably all bullshit. the only reason he doesn’t lie to his partners is because he HATES being lied to in return and if he has feelings for you its a little harder to just shut you out once you realize he’s full of it. He mostly lies for fun, and partly just to see what people will really believe, so it get’s wilder and wilder every time. Refuses to do anything that’s boring to him like clean or do laundry, but he hates disgusting messes so he’ll just pay someone else to do it. 
Mountain: Disgustingly messy. When I walk into a room i leave a hurricane of my shit everywhere, but if you took an actual hurricane and put it in his bedroom, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. No one in the whole church will go near his room, partly for the smell, partly for the fact of that there is no where to stand that isn’t a foot high with garbage and dirty clothes. If he cleaned his room i think a new disease would be unlocked. Super stubborn, and inpatient. He’s pretty chill, but refuses to wait for anything without getting super annoyed, and it’s impossible to change his mind about literally anything once it’s made up. Trying to debate him about anything is a fucking nightmare. 
Aether:  when you’ve been together for a while, and you’re comfortable with each other, things can get boring. he’ll stop taking you on dates every week, and stop thanking you profusely for everything you do, and stop treating you like a queen. things will get stale quickly, so unless you’re into routine, steer fucking clear or you're doomed.  when he’s in a shitty mood, he will say literally anything to you to get you away from him. he just wants to be left alone and if you wont let that happen he’ll break up with you, tell you to fuck off, tell you to get away from him, tell you to go fuck yourself, whatever it takes. he doesn’t mean it, and even if he knows that deep down, you’re still causing the problem by existing, in his mind. refuses to accept that there may be a different way to do things. it’s Aether’s way or the highway and that's it. he thinks that if somethings easier, or faster than the way he does it, then it’s not being done right, and it’s fucking annoying how he wastes so much time doing stupid simple tasks because its the way he was taught and its the way he’ll do them until he dies
Rain: A baby. An actual baby. Needy and clingy and even a little bit pathetic sometimes. Here and there it can be cute and you might feel the need to nurture him, but honestly most people can’t handle it all the time but for Aether. He constantly needs attention in the exact way he wants and if he doesn’t get it he’ll whine and cry and try and make you feel like shit. Maybe it’s manipulation, maybe it’s not. Who knows. But you have to make sure he eats properly, make sure he gets dressed properly, make sure he sleeps, pretty much be a parent to him half the time. The amount of emotional labor is borderline slavery. His attitude is insane, and he’s sassy and bossy all the time as if he’s actually in control, and if you tell him otherwise he’ll scream (at the top of his lungs). Uses baby talk at an inappropriate timing and makes people uncomfortable  sometimes.
Cumulus: Collects tiny little themed knick knacks that are literally everywhere and take up all the space in her and Cirrus’ little sapphic cottage. Nosey and wants to know everyone’s business all the time. The only person she tells is Cirrus but she won’t rest unless she knows every detail about a persons life and drama.
Cirrus: Leaves all the lights on wherever she goes. Leaves all the cupboards open. All the lights are on so much that it lights up the whole house all night, and people call them to tell them to either close their blinds or turn the fucking lights off.

Haikyuu HC to COVID-19 (Karasuno edition)
This is horrible 💀 im just so bored so I made whatever this mess is KFJSJDMSK enjoy
Hinata Shouyou
Tumblr media
huh? isn’t it just the flu?
“No, hinata. People have died from it-“
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH-
goes bananas
whenever someone sneezes or coughs, his soul leaves his body as he runs away to sanitize/wash his hands for a miserably long time.
eats an expired can of peaches thinking it’s his last resort
lowkey happy school is closed because homework sucks
but also highkey hates it because now all volleyball tournaments are closed
then gets all angry when he realizes he’d have to do online school???!!?? like wtf he got jipped.
thinks they could still do volleyball if they did online calls cus if the school can do it,, then vOLLEYBALL CAN
will probably miss half of the class calls from oversleeping/forgetting anyway.
sheepishly ask yamaguchi, yachi or tsukishima for help on assignments/notes. (he will NEVA ask kageyama. he’s always in competition with him here!)
still practices volleyball 24/7 in his backyard or room (maybe even with his baby sister??)
He’s really good at practicing all by himself from practicing all alone in middle school—
but will probably go crazy being alone all the time with his family. he just wants to play volleyball with the team again.
looks up “what to do when you’re bored” or “what to do at home while in quarantine” on youtube
Kageyama Tobio
Tumblr media
probably says he’s immune to the corona because he’s just better than everyone else
doesn’t really think it’s real until school shut down because of it
When he sees that corona is airborne he wont know what that means so he’d probably think it’s produced by air itself?? which makes him think air is trying to kill the human race?? and will be so confused as to why it decided to pop up now???
DESPISES online school. He had enough trouble understanding it from the gecko, so now he has to learn it basically all by hiMSELF?!?
And no way is he just gona email the teacher for help. If he does it’s gonna be only once in his lifetime. Anymore than that he thinks he’s doin too much. He doesn’t want his teachers thinking he’s dumb 😭
he says literally nothing during the calls he just tries to pay attention? and fails because he’s on a computer. in his room. alone. he’s bound to daze off or stare at a pen for 5 minutes.
Obvi still practices volleyball. Very much misses it. At least Hinata had his sibling to practice with him. tobio is a lone wolf in his household.
When his mom goes out to get groceries he gives her one of those doctor masks so she doesn’t catch corona.
Few moments later through the internet he realizes that corona is smaller than air molecules so if you can breathe through something you could still get it so he struggles for an hour thinking he just killed his mother
When his mom is back he keeps his distance in case she’s carrying the plague
omg did she just cough or am i imagining things no she definitely coughed she has corona oh oh god
In reality she was just clearing her throat.
is lowkey worrying about everyone and how they are 🥺 (yes, maybe even hinata).
thinks he’s science smart by calling it covid-19 than corona.
Asahi Azumane
Tumblr media
He just worries about everyones health
like he just imagines the worst case scenario’s and starts to get really worried if people got it. Always checks on everyone and asks if they’re feeling any symptoms of corona ❤️
He’s either not gonna get it or he gets it and dies there’s no inbetween
but he’s jesus himself so theres no way he nor anyone in his bloodline can get it
is very happy to know that dogs can’t get it.
Takes online school seriously and tries his best
And is honestly so sad school just ended??? even if it’s temporary, he could be learning, playing volleyball, and going about his day instead of staying in a cage. he’s a third year so—how would graduation even go..?
always is up to date on the news !! and notifies everyone if anything important is added/changed.
Always tells everyone to stay safe! Whether through text or before ending a call.
only buys a lot of toilet paper from the fear of there being no toilet paper in stock since evERYONE IS BUYING IT-
Starts to try new hobbies that he put off for the longest time cus quarentine is rlly getting to him.
Is all out a family guy so he doesn’t mind the extra time with his family.
Nishinoya Yu
Tumblr media
OAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOA
420 blazin’
thinks going outside means you’re instantly gonna die from corona attacking your white blood cells (????)
but also probably doesnt care as he goes outside like everyday to run around and get rid of energy (and to practice volleyball, of course).
also why is it called white blood cells when blood is red ☠️ smh
Buys 101611018320129 bags of chips because that’s his comfort food
yay more gaming time!!!
Noya🐒: Tanaka do u wana play minecraft 2getr latr?
Tanaka🍌: HELL YEAH!!
doesn’t shower for three days straight because screw personal hygiene!! No more school!!! Can do whatever he wanted!! It’s basically summer!!!
until he’s forced to do online school.
Is def the class clown. Probably somehow kicks the teacher out of the call through a little bit of hacking.
“alright guys so i’ll be you’re substitute teacher for the day-“
tbh acts the same as he would in school. maybe a little more rebellious because, i mean, what is the teacher gonna do? send him to DETENTION? call his mOMMY?
Calls/spams literally everyone in his contacts because he’s so bored and lonely. Answer him!! Y’all will be on facetime for hours!!
He’s fun to facetime.
Will call you a loser if you don’t have an apple iPhone because then he can’t facetime you and facetiming is one of his favorite things to do to pass time (besides gaming)
HE A TRUE GAMER
Okay but he lowkey still tries at school for the sake of his grades and his future ;-; maybe calls asahi or sugawara for help??
always looks up his homework on the internet to see if he can get an answer key or something (he did that anyway even before corona but)
will do one subject for 3 hours thinking he’s finally done with everythinf till he realizes he has like 4 other subjects and needs to do those too.
Sending memes all the time
Tsukishima Kei
Tumblr media
oh, what about corona again?
honestly could give NO fucks??. like ABSOLUTELY ZERO. nonxistent.
doesn’t even remember it’s still happening half the time.
is surprisingly very knowledgeable about corona.
he’s just smart and sciency¿ so he understands the ins and outs of corona like how it works and how its spread.
so if you tRULY want any update or background info on the corona virius, ask Tsukishima.
bitch don’t touch me you have rabies.
doesn’t care that he’s obligated to stay at home because he would have stayed either way. he very much likes being alone.
might go a little crazy cooped up in his room so he’ll hang with his brother/family or go outside before he says ‘okay that’s enough’ and goes back to his room.
isolation? oh okay *puts on headphones*
he rlly gonna be rocking it out in his room cus he can listen to music all day any day
developes a really bad sleep schedule since he had no way to get rid of the energy he got rid of at school.
still a huge tease so he says everyone has the corona virius.
is never online on social media which means he’s never up to date with his frIENDS. Doesn’t have a clue what those dipshits are doing and could care less (besides yamaguchi,, they probably facetime or call thru skype or something).
I bet the whole volleyball squad has a groupchat and honestly he puts all notifs on mute cus his phone keep goin DING DING DING DI DING ID DID IDKNG DING DIG
Brother: Omg why are you getting so many text messages?
Tsukki: Shut up
if he is online on the gc and he texts it would be simple replies like “Hi” “Okay.” “No.” “Goodbye.” and then he’s gone for another week
every first year is begging on their knees for tsukishima to give the answers or help them out and he obviously says: go do the hw yourselves idiots
besides yamaguchi!!!! again!! cus theyre gay for each other
maybe practices once in awhile with his brother or alone in his backyard but he doesn’t care
Tanaka Ryuunosuke
Tumblr media
buys 101817 pounds of toilet paper because everyone else is? but not because of the same reason as asahi. he thinks toilet paper is the cure to corona.
GO STUPID AAAAAAAAA GO CRAZY AAAAAAAAAAA-
probably has a part time job at a grocery store so he still has to go to work 😭 i dont even know how he could have a job in the first place he’s probably always late-
still gamin with noya of course
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM IM PLAYING MINECRAFTT
also buys like all the junk food thats in stock. and since he works at the grocery store he gets a ton of coupons and deals.
texts Kiyoko everyday goodmorning ❤️❤️❤️ and goodnight 😘😘 texts just to be left on read.
“i love it when she ignores me !!!”
scrolls through tiktoks for 1000 hours to pass time
School Is For Losers!!
similar to noya, he thought it was basicaly summer until he realized they were gonna be doing online school. literally had a fit and said he didnt wanna do jack squAt
Laughs so hard when nishinoya somehow kicks the teacher out of the call he’s like laughing so loud and hard he starts crying
all of the sudden has a better view on school
gets excited when he sees nishinoya on the call
makes funny and ugly ass faces when the teacher isn’t looking. everyone laughs and the teacher’s like 🤨
probably uses the green screen effect so he can change hus background (somehow) and accidentally misclicks a file so a girl wit a bikini becomes his background for .5 seconds before changing it to a cursed meme:
Tumblr media
doesn’t get half the shit the teacher is talking about
but it’s okay because the half he doesn’t get is the other half noya gets
and the half noya doesnt get is the orher half tanaka gets
they’re two peas in a pod 🥰
until they try explaining it to each other and suddenly get confused?? mental malfunction ¿?
yeah im SMART!!!
s -

Daichi Sawamura
Tumblr media
quite calm about the whole coronavirus
like he knows it is serious and understands how it is spread but he’s still calm about it??
tells everyone to sanitize and wash hands on a regular. and social distancing!!
honestly still wakes up like he does on normal school days and does all his academics just fine.
he even does gym activities (besides volleyball) for 30 minutes to an hour!!!! he be running on that treadmil! getting stronk!
does each subject on his own for 20-40 min each day. he’s really good at self discipline
makes sure sugawara and asahi are up to date on school work and will gladly help.
sadly can’t help the first years (and probably second years) because that info is deep in his brain and basically forgot how to do it after a year or two of not using it.
VERY VERY VERY sad that volleyball nationals are cut off. this is his last year and for it to be??? gone??? just because of some flu?!?! hates it.
he wishes school to go back and still has hope that school will go back to normal in a couple of weeks (even though it’s a slim chance).
asks the teacher questions whenever he has questions. He’s also vv considerate so he’ll ask questions he knows the answer to but asks them for anyone who’s confused ab it/wants to ask but is too shy. (literally i lov daichi sm)
Eats a healthy amount of everything
asks asahi for any updates on corona even though he’s quite up to date himself. he just wanna make sure he didn’t miss anything.
also doesn’t mind being around his family. he’ll do more chores around the house to help his parents out :> he’s literally perfect wtf
def does worry about everyone in the volleyball gc and anyone else he has contact with. Will also email classmates and ask if they’re doing all right. Even away from volleyball he’s a team player ☺️✌️
Is happy for the rest of the day when asahi tells him dogs can’t get corona.
Yamaguchi Tadashi
Tumblr media
oaoaiquqhdkoaiaagadjsiwi?
doesn’t know what to believe anymore
keeps in touch with everyone!! always online 24/7 on social media, vball gc, you name it.
Literally everyone is acting so normal why are people so calm am i the only one worrying about this and the worlds future like this year has been really bad so far for not just me but the whole nation actually the entire world honestly like war almost broke out in january and now this corona stuff is really buttering my crissont the wrong way-
Even though tsukishima literally gives No Fucks, yamaguchi is the complete opposite.
like tsukki and yamaguchi call on skype and eVERY TIME yamaguchi starts with ‘how have you been? do you feel sick at all? have you drank enough water today?’ and so on
“What are you even worrying about?”
“Well...what if you get the corona virius?... it can be deadly, you know!! Thousands of people have died from it!!! The fact school is shutting down and people are panicking is making me feel like i should be panicking-“
Tsukki will then snarkily reassure him it’s fine and people their age are the least likely to get it bad.
Yamaguchi will feel a little better afterwords
“Thank you, Tsukki!”
Tsukki will ‘tch’ it off
Even though he gets really good grades he has triuble finding motivation to do any school work?? doing school work in his own home? 😐
His home was kinda a place he can chill whereas school is a place he can be fully focused
but now his home is ALSO school??!!?
Luckily he understands the work, at least.
When he sees tsukishima on the call, too, he instantly says hello.
“Tsukki!! Hey!! 😁”
“Shut up.”
“Gomen, Tsukki.”
Yeah. Even when they aren’t at school, he’s still the same as always.
He takes extra care of his family and always stays in touch with other relatives. Especially grandpa and grandma. THE SECOND he learned elderly people are at more risk you bet your ass he’s calling them making sure they’re okay. He checks up on them everyday now.
He peobably practices volleyball a little, too. He’s more focused on schoolwork though.
Sugawara Koushi
Tumblr media
Have you guys ate dinner yet? 🥺
obviously checking up on everyone
he would fail as a mother if he didn’t.
Actually reads in his free time?? He finally has time on his hands to read these books so.... here we are!
Wakes up at a scheduled time everyday (minus weekends. Maybe sleeps for an extra hour or so).
He dresses in pjs rather than actual clothes because he’s not going anywhere with this social distancing thing.
Always tries to lighten the mood when all the students are on the online call. Maybe crack some joke or innocently play around with the effects.
He still pays close attention in class and does quite well on his own. No help from his parents! He can do everything on his own! He a big boi!
Does homework really well, too. Probably does extra work or more work than needed just because it makes him feel good afterwords.
Honestly i can see him cooking in his free time. If he doesnt feel like reading or scrolling mindlessly through his phone, he gonna cook.
Will make the best cookies in the universe.
HAS A HECK OF A SWEET TOOTH. NOT A DAY GOES BY WITHOUT HIM GETTING HIS PRETTY HANDS ON SUM TREAT
Honestly isn’t too good with exercise so he might gain a few pounds or grow the smallest chub 🥺🥺🥺 he would be so cute omfg.
is realy involved with his family!! they play a board/card game every friday night and have the best time.
if he has a dog, cat, or literally any animal you know he’s gona be hanging with them since he has more time.
Still! Playing! Volleyball! I mean by now every boy is practicing at least a little bit. He would probably be in his backyard playing volleyball with his family. Theyy’d set up a net and everythin! They’re all rookies at it but he still cherishes the moments with them.
It’s honestly still practice. Better than nothing
He talks about how his family plays volleyball and everyone is so jealous like 😭😭 makes him more grateful hearing half the volleyball team saying they have to practice alone.
Watching youtube videos of random videos/vines making him giggling.
“Hey, Dachi, look at this video.”
IS A SWEETHEART STFU !!!

How to Make Jirou’s Earjacks
I figured I’d make a tutorial for those who want to make realistic earjacks that can be flimsy enough to twirl (1st image) and firm enough to bend for posing (2nd image). This was my first time experimenting with silicone and latex, so if you have any tips for me, let me know! Unfortunately I don’t have a ton of pictures because this stuff works quickly and I was in a time crunch for a convention, so i’ll tried to be detailed when needed (these images were a test run, the final result is on my Instagram at Sakine-cosplay).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Materials (with apprx cost): 
1. Platsil Gel 10 silicone ($17) https://www.ebay.com/itm/M00511-150-MOREZMORE-Try-PlatSil-Gel-10-Pourable-Silicone-Rubber-Liquid-150-g/142987077241?hash=item214ab1a679:g:-FgAAOSw2JxboBja 
2. Flesh colored pigment ($5) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Concentrated-Silicone-Pigment-Flesh-Peach-Platsil-Gel/372628136273?hash=item56c25e2151:g:G38AAOSwyedbIBG8 (If you’re skin tone is darker than this, I’d suggest searching for brown pigment, I couldn’t find a skin tone set to share, but just a little goes a long way so i’d suggest one of the two)
3. Mold release spray ($11) (I bought my Castin Craft spray at Hobby Lobby. Look for coupons online!)
4. Rubber straw ($4 for a set at Target)
5. Regular straw (free at many fast food restaurants)
6. Wire ($3 optional but necessary for posing) https://www.hobbylobby.com/Beads-Jewelry/Bead-Stringing-Chains/Beading-Wire/Aluminum-Wire---22-Gauge/p/JL85073 (I threw out the package, so i forget exactly which size it is. I want to guess size 20 or 22. Go to Hobby Lobby or your craft store and feel the difference. It should be easy to bend, but strong enough to hold its shape)
7. Amazing Mold Putty kit ($8-$20) You don’t need a lot, but they only sell one size for about $20. It’s good if you plan on using more in the future, however, I’m including a link I found that gives you 4oz for $8. If used wisely it should be enough. https://www.etsy.com/listing/594123659/make-your-own-silicone-mold-food-safe?gpla=1&gao=1&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ClayPaperScissors_sfc_osa&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_custom1=0&utm_content=16561831&gclid=CjwKCAjw67XpBRBqEiwA5RCocd4_HioObmZud-27R8H16b_djgqcI3uObN-7GqEf1Vq5AqGV_6hDexoC7REQAvD_BwE
8. Liquid Latex ($8 at Walmart)
9. Earring studs ($3-$5) (if your ears are pierced, it helps with support, if not, only use latex. WARNING: make sure the back of the studs are not super tight on the posts. Try sliding them back and forth and see if it glides. Loosen the backs manually if they are very tight by gently pulling it apart)
10. Earphone/Aux jacks (x2) ($1-$5 each) (I used two headphones jacks as long as they aren’t the L shape)
11. Wire cutters ($2-$5) or see if you can borrow them from someone
12. Tape and scissors (look at a dollar store, I used electrical tape for flexibility)
13. Small mixing cups (x3)
14. Popsicle sticks or something similar to stir
15. Sandwich baggies (2-3)
16. Very small disposable measuring cups (x2) (check dollar store)
17. Piece of carboard/plastic/newspaper to work on top of (it’s gonna get messy, a thicker material is best if you have it) 
18. Q-tips (preferably the pointy ones they use on nails)
19. Vaseline (travel size should be cheap)
20. Hair dryer
(you can ignore the syringe in the picture. The amount of pressure it created inside didn’t allow me to use it with the material because of how thick it was, I replaced it with a baggy as a piping bag)
Tumblr media
Step 1: Use the mold putty to create the earjack shape.
Since we are using a rubber straw (tube) to create the extended lobes, we need to enlarge the nub at the end (that yellow bit in the above image). If you look at your headphones/aux cord you’ll see the nub that that connects the wire to the plug is larger, so we need to make that so we can attach it.
-Take a small amount of your molding putty in a 1:1 ratio (equal amounts) and use your hands to mush them together and blend it until its a light yellow. 
-Once evenly mixed, flatten it until its about 1.5″ (inches) wide (measure it out, you may under estimate how small an inch is) and then pull it until its long enough to fully wrap around the rubber tube. You don’t want it to be too thin, make sure it’s about 1/8″. 
-Wrap it around the edge like shown in the above image. Smooth out the end that is covering the body, as if blending it into the tube (not where the tube ends, other side), that way its less likely any silicone will leak through later.
-Wait about 30 minutes or so until it hardens to a rubber like texture (try lightly pinching it towards the bottom and see if it tries to return to its shape)
- Once it’s done, you’re gonna have a bit of a difficult time wiggling the tube out of it. Be patient, just squish and pull it until its out (it should look similar to the one a couple images down).
Step 2: Align the wire to the center of the tube.
This part depends on how bendable you want them to be. For mine, I used wire that went down one fully for posing, and the other about a 3rd of the way so it could be adjusted by the ear if necessary and 2/3rds of it flimsy and flesh-like. You can also opt to not use wire at all, but you wont be able to pose it (although without wire will make it a lot easier to apply to your ears due to the lack of weight. Even for the flimsy one, I still use a little bit of wire just in case, but its not necessary). If you don’t want it to pose, skip step 2 and step 5.
-Using the wire cutters, either cut about 4″ of wire for a partial pose, or cut enough to match the same length of the tube for full pose. 
-Find a small flat surface that you can tape one end of the tube to (small square of cardboard works well. You can probably use one of the containers your materials came in). Take the cut wire and tape it so it is standing vertically on the flat square as straight as possible (I’m sorry I dont have a picture of this). Try not to have the tape too far up the wire since it will be poured over with silicone. Try bunching layers of it at the bottom to reinforce it instead.
Tumblr media
Step 3: Cut the tube
-Take the yellow jack nub you created and slide it over one end of the tube. Make sure there’s at least one full inch that hangs over the tube edge, that’s the part that will be filled in (so only 1/2″ should actually be covering the tube).
-With the yellow nub attached, take scissors and make a straight cut through the yellow nub and the tube all the way towards the end, but leave about 1/2″ at the end uncut. This will help make sure the tube closes evenly since it’s still intact (nubless cut tube shown above). Now you can easily take the nub off, but I suggest leaving it on whenever you can so the seams from the cut stay aligned.
Step 4: Apply mold release and liquid latex
This next process is what takes the most time to do.
-Following the instructions on the bottle, shake the mold release well and then spray a couple inches of the inside of the tube, covering the center and edges completely. I find it easier to do sections at a time and keep it held open under a fan until it dries since its hard to keep the entire tube spread open. 
-Shake, spray, and let dry until you have the entire tube coated. Make sure to spray enough at the end that isn’t cut so the bottom doesnt stick.
-Repeat this at least one more time (3 times total to be safe). The silicone doesn’t let go of the rubber very easily and sometimes will prefer to rip off if there’s not enough mold release applied, so if you are patient enough, spray multiple layers along the center and edges of the inside.
- Once 2-3+ coatings are applied, make sure the inside seams and the top seam is also covered.
Unfortunately silicone doesn’t like to separate from the mold putty, even with the mold release, so we’re going to use a layer of liquid latex to cover the inside of the yellow nub. This is IMPORTANT because without a full coat, the putty will attach to the silicone and you will need to cut it off, which we don’t want. I usually went back and forth between adding layers of latex and spraying mold release depending on when they dried so they can be worked on at the same time.
- Take the nub off the tube. I recommend using the small mixer tool they include with the silicone to apply the liquid latex.  Dip the tool into the latex and only add a thick stripe starting at one side (starting from one end of the seam to the other end on the inside of the tube). You don’t want to coat the entire thing in one go because its round and the latex will spread out and bunch in the center. Also, when applying, be quick about it since it starts to dry relatively quickly. If you’re smoothing it out as it dries, it can begin sticking to the spreader and mess up the coat. The latex on the spreader will dry, make sure to remove it before each coating.
-Once the first portion is dried, slowly make your way coating (and drying) until there’s an even coat all inside the nub. It doesnt need to be a thick layer as long as the entire surface is covered. If you add too much thickness if could dry unevenly and make it look lumpy, so try to keep it smooth.
-Apply a layer of latex to the top of the nub and along the seam (save the inside of the seam for last). Once the inside is done, the outside edges are done, then we can apply a coat to the seam area where the nub was actually cut. We save this for last because if the two seams touch (even when dry), they’ll want to stick, and we don’t want that yet. All of these areas are being coated because its going to get messy and its better to have everything covered so there’s no accidental sticking. The only spots we aren’t covering are the outside center and bottom of the nub since silicone shouldn’t reach there (although its still good to add a little to the bottom just in case)
-Once the seams have their layers dry, make sure to keep them spread apart, if they touch you may need to peel that portion off and redo it. 
-Add a spritz of the demold spray to the inside.
Step 5: Attach wire and tube
- Take the uncut end of the tube and place it over the standing wire and feed it through until the end meets the taped stand (you can tape the tube closed if it makes it easier). Now the wire is inside the tube and the bottom should be as close to the cardboard as possible.
-Look through the top of the tube down the tub to see where the wire is. You can gently move the tube around until you see the wire is in the center (if the wire isn’t straight enough, bend it until it is), if the wire is leaning against the side, then it will puncture through the silicone since it wont be coated properly.
-Once you think its centered enough, tape the tube to the flat surface the wire is attached to. Make sure the bottom of the tube is as flat as it can be so silicone doesnt seep through. Tape around it thoroughly.
-With your tube sprayed down and the nub coated, wrap the nub back over the tube (1/2″ covering the tube, 1″ hanging over) and align the seams, BUT DONT press the seams together yet, keep the nub open. You can tape the bottom of the nub to the straw so it doesnt move around.
Step 6: Mold your ear
-Using the mold putty again, make another small 1:1 mixture. Depending how much you have left from the nub, use about half each to mix together. 
-Once blended- flatten it a bit, choose an ear, and wrap it around the earlobe (If you are not doing earrings, this step is optional). You dont need to cover a lot of the ear, just make sure to get it around the base of the ear, and the front and back of the lobe. If you make it too tall/big, we can always cut it down a bit.
-Hold/press it to your earlobe for at least 30 minutes while it sets. The finished product are the yellow pieces in the image below (one for each ear, make sure to label them with a marker RF-Right Front and LF-Left Front for later)
- These are also made out of the putty so they also need coats of latex within the entire mold (thats why they look shiny).
Tumblr media
Step 6: Prepare your station
Now that the tube itself is prepped, we need to get the rest of the station prepped because once you mix the silicone it begins to dry quickly, so we don’t want any mistakes.
-Make several precut tape stripes (10 to be safe) and have them ready nearby (about the length of your thumb)
-Lay out your newspaper/cardboard for your work area
-Take the cords/earbuds you’re using for the plug tips and cut it as close to the tip as possible (most likely need to cut where the nub starts, so you have a nub and a tip).
-Cut just over an inch off from the regular straw and set the larger amount aside
- Have your baggy, regular straw (inch), mixing cups (3), measuring cups (2), and mixing materials nearby. 
- Mark each of your mixing cups/measuring cups as A, B, and C (no C for measuring cups).  Do the same if you’re using Popsicle sticks, otherwise make sure you keep the mixing items separated).
-Lay down the tube so the open seam is facing upwards. You will fill it like this and tape it closed as you work.
Step 7: Mix the Silicone/pigment
We don’t have a lot of silicone, so we need to be careful with how much we use at a time. I actually had to buy a second batch since i was new to it.
-Using your measuring cups and separate mixing sticks, pour about a third of the corresponding container into it (Part A to A cup, Part B to B cup.
-Open your pigment container. A little goes a long way, so start with just a small dot at a time and mix it into the Part A cup. Your ears tend to be darker than you might think since it has red mixed in it (feel free to buy some red pigment flecks if you want, but i think its unnecessary for this since the silicone wont blend well anyway when applying it)
-Once you think you have your skin tone, add a bit more until its a tone darker. Mixing it with Part B will lighten it up again. It doesnt have to be a perfect match, but make sure its not too light or you’ll see a big difference (compare my skin to the test i made in the first image). 
-Add half of A and half of B into the corresponding mixing cups. Now we have 1/2 in the mixing cups and 1/2 in the measuring cups. Since it tends to dry quickly, and you dont want to work too fast, we’ll use half of the mixture at a time. Once you finish the first half, you can quickly mix up the second premade half and finish it. But make sure to keep some off to the side, we’re filling the tube and nub separately. It will be the same color so there should be no blending issues.
-It can be done by yourself, but if you have an extra pair of hands, I highly recommend getting help.
Tumblr media
Step 8: Mixing and filling the tube
Before taking these steps, I highly suggest reading through them first to get familiar with what you will need to do so you don’t waste time.
-Pour the Parts A and B from the mixing cups into the C mixing cup and use the C mixing stick to stir it. 
-Stir quickly and thoroughly to make sure its blended. If you still think you need a bit more pigment, carefully add a bit more, but try not to do this so we keep both mixtures the same tone. It’s harder to do that when you add extra color separately.
-Once it’s mixed, carefully take the mixing cup and pour it into a sandwich baggy as close to the corner as possible using your mixing stick. Make sure to push all the mix to the corner so it’s tightly packed and can be used as a piping bag.
-Cut a very small hole at the corner of the baggy (small enough to fit within a regular straw opening. Which is very small. This way the mix won’t overflow out of it from a large opening). If you have a friend available, have them hold open the tube and be in charge of closing it as you pipe in the silicone. If it is only you, use one hand to hold open the tube while the other pipes it in. It will be messy.
-Starting from the bottom of the tube (taped), you’re going to open the nearest seam and insert the piping bag into it as far as you can and squeeze the mixture towards the end until it fills up. Basically squeeze until you see it coming towards the seam. 
-Continue slow piping underneath the wire until it begins to fill to the top.
-As you pipe, let the seams close as evenly as they can and take a piece of tape and throw it over the seam to keep it in place. You can go over it with more tape after you finish. As you close the seam along the way, it will seep through the seam. That’s fine, you’d rather have too much mix instead of air bubbles from not being filled enough.Just try to smooth out the top of the seam from the mix so its only a thin layer of silicone  instead of a gob. the tape will stick better and you can try to push the mix into the tube.
- As you pipe and tape up the tube, keep the wire in mind and make sure you’re piping under it so it’s not touching the tube itself.
-It’s likely you’ll run out midway. Now you can take an equal portion of A and B of the the premade mixture into cup C (Don’t use all of it, just enough to fill the tube, not the nub.). While that mixes, if you have a friend, have them fix up the tape and make sure the seams are smooth.
-Once the next batch it mixed, add it to the piping bag. If you noticed the old mix beginning to harden already, use the other corner of the baggy to pipe. Remember, cut a very small hole.
-Only fill up to the other end of the tube where the nub starts. Once you get to that point, you can tape that up as well as the press the nub seams together (make sure it’s pressed evenly for a seamless seam). Now that the tube is full of silicone mix, feel free to tape the nub together and add more tape to secure the seam.
-Once everything is taped up, let the tube stand vertically and lean it against something where it won’t fall over (I had a cardboard tube that fit over it to keep it straight while it leaned lightly against my monitor. Try to have items surround it to keep it standing straight).
- After about a half hour, it should be firm enough that liquid wont spill out (check any leftovers in the C cup and see how firm it is, it should be similiar), so you can now mix the remaining mixture and add it to a new piping bag (or a clean corner). 
-Cut a very small hole. This time you will use the inch long straw to help pipe the mix through the nub from the top.
- With the hole cut, place the straw into the nub (make sure there's still enough sticking out so you can hold it.) and place the baggy tip (with its tiny hole) over the top of it. You will be filling it vertically from the nub opening.
-Pipe the mix into the straw and slowly bring it up as it fills. By using the straw, it ensures no air bubbles from where you left off. If you run low of mix in the bag, remember to squeeze out the mix trapped in the straw.
- DO NOT fill it to the top of the nub, stop short.
Step 9: Insert the jack tip
- Once it is 85% full, while still holding it vertically, take the jack tip you cut off earlier and slowly insert it into the middle of the mix from the top until only the metal it showing (image above). If you get some mix on the metal, you can peel it off, but try to keep it clean.
- Hold the jack tip steady so as much metal is showing while hiding the nub attached to it. This requires patience, you cannot let it move until it hardens after a few minutes. If you let it go, it will sink down. If you tilt it to the side to make it straight, make sure to check all the sides. It’s best to hold it by the tip if possible to ensure it stays int he middle and doesnt move.
Step 10: Opening the tube and touch ups
After about a half hour, you can check the top of the nub to check the firmness (remember, check the C cup to check the firmness without touching the actual pieve first).
-Once it is done setting, you can remove all the tape.
-Carefully and slowly begin to pry open the nub seam. You may need to cut it a little if its resistant.
- As you open the nub, the latex should peel off with the silicone. peel the latex off once detached.
-Very delicately, wedge open the seam for the tube. Depending on how even and how much it was sprayed will decide how easily it comes off. sometimes there are tough spots that want to stick, you need to slowly pull at it and use your finger to jab at the stuck silicone to nudge it off. If you pull too much it may rip, so pull and nudge. Take your time if needed, it will be a waste if you rush this part.
-As you gently make your way down, you can undo the tape securing the tube to the flat surface to free it along with the wire. 
-Once it’s all freed, snip off the end to make it flat (use wire cutters to snip excess wire).
-As long as everything came out okay, you can use scissors to cut the seam excess. Boom, main body is done
(If you have bubbles, tears, or other issues, it’s possible to make a small of amount of mix, recoat the tube in spray, pipe a thin line down the center, and use that as a layer to cover up imperfections, but you need to make sure the skin tone matches up, so make sure you have references to match it. This isn’t recommended because it makes the earjacks thicker and only complicates it more, but when trying to cover imperfections in other ways, it didnt turn out smooth and it came out shiny which was noticeable. Use only if needed.)
Tumblr media
Step 11: Add the earlobes
-Now that the main body is done, use the same process for the ear molds. Make sure they are properly coated with latex, spray the demold in it.
-Make small batches for the ear and apply thin layers, one side at a time. If its too thick, it will build up and make it thick along the bottom instead.
-Continue on the front, back, and bottom of the ear until if has a decent thickness to it from several layers.
-Once done setting, remove it along with the latex.
-Take the main body and the lobe, and see how they should line up in the mirror for where you should attach them.
- Cut out a slit on the top of the end of the body where the lobe will be attached. This way it will sit in a small slit comfortably instead of on top of it.
- Mix more silicone to use as glue. You shouldn’t need that much. Add some in the sit before placing the lobe there, and around both of them to help blend the lobe of body together. Once done, it will look like the image above (minus the earring).
Step 12: Add the earring studs
-Go back to the mirror and see approximately where the stud should go on the inside of the lobe where it fits in your ear. If you don’t have earrings, skip this step.
WARNING: make sure the back of the studs are not super tight on the posts. Try sliding them back and forth and see if it glides. Loosen the backs manually if they are very tight by gently pulling it apart. It will be impossible to take them off if they are super tight, please check and adjust them before testing them out. Once they slide easily on the posts with minimal friction, then you can try them on and go from there.
-Make another very small batch of silicone and place the stud where it belongs on the inside of the front of the lobe. Use the silicone as glue to attach the stud all around it (make sure the stud is attached to the front so the pole can go through your ear and to the back). It should look like the image above when dried.
Tumblr media
Step 13: Attaching the earjack to your ear
I know it doesnt look pretty, but your wig should cover it anyway. This also takes a long time (about an hour each ear from my experience)
-Pull your hair up away from your ears (wig cap is best)
-Generously apply Vaseline all over your ear (front, back, sides and bottom) and an inch or so around it by your jaw and hair line. This is the only way you will get the latex to come off without absolutely ripping all your facial hair off.
-Align the correct earjack to the correct ear. 
-With a Q-tip (preferably the pointed ones they use on nails), take a bit of latex and apply it inside the edges of the lobe on both sides of the earring stud. Make sure not to get any on the earring itself, only the edges of the lobe
-With the wet latex, insert your ear to fit within the piece properly and push the earring through and secure it with the backing.
-With one hand, hold the lobe in place so the edges are as close to your ear as possible for the best seamless fit. Let it dry for ten or so minutes.
-Once the inside dried a little bit, take the Q-tip and apply a layer of latex around the seam on the lobe and on your ear. MAKE SURE to not add latex to the earring! otherwise you’re gluing it to yourself. You want the latex and your earring always separate.
-Let it dry using the hairdryer on cool. It’s best to wait until its completely dry before adding a new layer.
-Keep adding thin layers and letting them dry. Add latex along the seams in the front, along the bottom, and along the top where the lobe is suppose to blend in. You can add a little bit to the back as long as it does not touch your earring, you might want help with this part (If you’re not wearing earrings, just slather the latex on everywhere, but still in layers).
After layers upon layers, it’s done! Just repeat the process for the second one. Be careful though, latex will fall off after awhile if it moves around too much. The more layers and the more ear it’s attached to, the better, but I still had issues when using them. It’s not comfortable when they start coming off and hard to fix on your own if you’re at a con. When taking it off, just start peeling off the latex and take off the earring. It’s still probably gonna hurt a bit, but not nearly as much if you didn’t use the Vaseline. It’s not gonna be blend in very nicely, and make up didn’t work well for me, but rely on the wig to cover that and try to take front facing pictures.
For the flimsy ones, it’s a little easier. Full wired ears take more latex and more time to dry because of the added weight. (then again, the one i made was thicker overall so that probably didn’t help). For the wired ones, I suggest making a pose where you can walk around and have the wire rest against your collarbone. I kept the wire straight down until it was resting against me, then curved it up and forward like a U shape, then twisted the jack-tip from there. The U is what sits on your collerbone though which helps support it’s weight. To see some examples (if I posted them) you can see me finished cosplay at Sakine-cosplay on Instagram.
It’s not perfect, but it served me well for the con (as long as you have time in the morning). If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, let me know! If you have any problems or questions feel free to ask. And if you make some or any other silicone related projects you may have used this for, I’d love to see how they turn out!

happy monday everyone
@zielenna liked my original post about this story this morning so it came back to my mind... this is another one that i’m not sure will go anywhere (sorry this keeps happening to me lately) so i’m going to share it here. the story where remus doesn’t find out sirius is innocent until years after the fact, as he’s monitoring radio transmissions in siberia... 
He woke up in the sound which heralded an oncoming transmission and which was all around him. The space heater had switched off which meant the power had gone out as it was wont to do this time of year and the cigarette between his first two fingers had extinguished itself a few millimeters from the skin, which was burnt there anyway and turned yellow from years of this. The digital clock was blinking bright radium green across the darkened room. What with the blood and bile switching places as soon as he lifted his head he was obliged to bury his head in the trash and vomit and after that obliged to use the time turner to go back to the beginning of the transmission because he had missed the first thirty seconds of it. Once it was finished and he had copied it down he took the big bulky engineer’s headphones off and unplugged the jack so the sound would reverberate throughout the tiny room. Then he got up and put the heater back on and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.
By his watch it was ten in the morning and outside it was pitch dark. He had been out til three drinking and then he had come back and rewound the night like a bad video so as to listen to the broadcasts he had missed. In process of this he had fallen asleep. Lo and behold there were a few messages transcribed from the wee hours in a scarcely legible hand which he would have to rewrite before sending to the old man. And there was no food in the house.
With all the oilcloth layers on and warming charms inside the coat he dared to go out through the apartment building’s airlock into the endless winter night for bread and eggs and orange juice and and cigarettes purchased at the grocery on credit. So too was the fifth of shitty near-blinding vodka from the liquor store purchased on credit, because Dumbledore could rarely get his shit together to send rubles instead of Galleons (or, for that matter, instead of the Russian wizarding coinage, zlat, which was as freely exchanged in town as any other form of currency) even when an owl could survive the flight from Scotland. The day-night was a dense black lit by the neon from the basements and there were no stars nor moon.
At home the kettle had boiled dry and filled the tiny two-room flat with steam. Between the rumpled never-made bed and the window jammed with towels in the cracks against the draught the machinery on the desk was braying another signal and another and another necessitating of course the rewinding of time itself again. It was December 10, 1994.
-
By the precise count of days he had arrived in Dikson just over thirteen years previous. He had still been off his head when Dumbledore had bailed him from the Muggle drunk tank in Hackney and shoved him bodily in the Floo with little explanation. He was deposited in the two-bedroom flat which at that time had been abandoned a few years to the point that snow had blown in onto the floor through the draught in the window. Everything froze. It became immediately clear that every moment spent asleep must be re-experienced to monitor the transmissions for important messages. It became rather less immediately clear that this was the pastime of every other person who lived in Dikson and was neither an oil company speculator nor a laborer at the docks nor an anti-communist in hiding nor some other more sinister variety of hunted hustler.
It was explained to him by the old man, who had visited via the Floo on occasion in the beginning. The site had been monitored since the early sixties by undisclosable entities at the Ministry of Magic but the sitter had been pulled late in the seventies for reasons which were also undisclosable and thus most certainly involved war-induced psychosis. The old man had asked Remus how familiar he was with magical theory and even when he had answered not very had given a florid academic spiel which probably required advanced degrees from Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard’s MT departments to decipher. The comprehensible piece of it was that the nuclear bomb test in 1961 across the Gulf of Ob on Severny Island seemed to have “torn” something as yet inconceivable in the magical fabric of the world and that this “tear” allowed essentially for particularly large works of magic performed anywhere in the world to be detected and monitored. Namely, works of magic performed by ten or more people, which in most nations were supposed to be reported before execution to units of magical governance (with exceptions, of course, for emergency circumstances). The machinery had been patented in 1965 by a professor at a magical college in rural Massachusetts who had gone on to attempt to create a similar “tear” between life and death by less atomic means and was summarily executed by an MLE squad in his office, but Remus learned this himself in the mid-eighties during a brief period where he owl-ordered radicalist pamphlets from around the world, kind of jealously, back when he read, back when he meticulously ordered new tapes and books and newspapers and tried to keep abreast of reality as best as one could when one was obliged to live every day and night several times so one did not miss even a single iota of relevant information; after all, as the old man had reminded him, time and time again, this was where they would see it when it happened, because the restoration of the creature to a human body would necessitate a masterwork of spellcraft, and because they knew it could be detected they would not perform it until it was necessary, until they were prepared, and until other magics, which might also present themselves, had been undertaken for security; in short, it was necessary for every apocalyptic reason that had been invoked all-too-convincingly in the late seventies that Remus must be the very first non-Death Eater in the world to know that Voldemort had risen again.
-
The American oil company speculator was in the dingy bar in the basement of the apartment block across the snow- and wind-swept street drinking tea and a little of the proprietor’s (she was really just the landlady) chest-loosening grog distilled in clay drugs in her upstairs closet. “John,” said the speculator with some surprise when Remus came in the door and took his hood off. It was the name by which most people in town knew him.
“Good morning.”
“I thought by now certainly you would’ve moved on,” said the American. He wasn’t very tactful and also he was a Muggle. It was clear he understood something was afoot in Dikson but also clear he thought this something was related to exploitable resources everyone else was aware of except himself. It was also clear that his memory had been altered numerous times by magical means (more than once by Remus) because certain topics of conversation caused him to go a little cross-eyed.
Remus sat down and the proprietor brought him a mug of tea and another ceremonialish blue ceramic cup of the rank liquor. “How’d you even get here.”
“Bummed a ride off the guy who supplies the grocer.” He always came up at strange times in attempt to catch them in the act, as though the residents were sober or organized enough to attempt some grand scheme. He had been doing this for a few years to no avail but still he attempted. At first Remus had thought he was some kind of spy, but he was by no means intelligent enough. “The weather’s been bad,” he went on. “We nearly turned back more than once.”
“The winds.”
“What?”
“It’s the winds. The winds have been bad.”
“Right.”
Outside presently they were howling at a pitch which vibrated the cord of omnipresent migraine at the back of Remus’s skull exactly wrong. He shot back the entire cup of liquor. It was like diving into very cold water except it was almost unbearably hot. It scoured everything out, which was the point. He required the scouring out to go about any sort of business at all. It had been this way since ’86 or so. By that time it had been technically ten years. The landlady brought over another and this time it smelled almost good, like licorice. “I’ve never understood how you drink that stuff,” said the American.
“You get used to it.”
“I still prefer vodka.”
“It doesn’t put hair on your chest,” said Remus, which was pointed. “I’ll have yours then.”
Others arrived. Vodka fresh from the liquor store down the street was circulated amongst those who couldn’t stomach the wardrobe moonshine. The proprietress had a single vinyl record, Bobbie Gentry’s Local Gentry. The oil company speculator was from a moneyed Texas family with dark secrets and claimed kinship with this music in a way that convinced no one. Remus’s mother had always preferred Patsy Cline and Dusty Springfield, which she had spun on vinyl in the kitchen whilst chain-smoking and making weird gelatins for assorted dismal parties. A French witch who clearly monitored transmissions from the tear for the Ministere du Magie and yet had claimed to Remus for ten years that she was a tracker of seabirds danced alone in the well-worn floorboards until one of the town’s numerous drunks got up to shufflingly join her.
In this town cabin fever was year-round and strictly enforced by the murderous cold. The notion of time was meaningless to all, especially in the winter, even to those who didn’t complicate it with assorted experimental magical devices. The entire world might’ve ended outside and they would only know if it were indicated in the spells that came through the tear. And the Muggles wouldn’t know at all. At six in the morning Remus and the oil company speculator went stumbling across the street and through the frigid airlock and up the stairs divesting the numerous insulating layers and into Remus’s flat where he explained for the nth time that the quantity of equipment and wires existed for the purpose of monitoring Soviet radio transmissions but that this information must be kept absolutely secret. He was about to offer they smoke half a precious joint to get the speculator’s mind off the monitoring devices but instead a tiny glass vial containing unmarked blue pills was produced from the breast pocket of the speculator’s flannel shirt. “What are those,” Remus asked.
“I don’t really know. Want to find out?”
It was ecstasy or something. Time was further complicated by a jarring sweaty step forth and sideways. He woke up with the sound to find the speculator gone, as was customary. He copied down the transmission and recorded the time (11:26am) and put all the layers back on — his hat was in the stairwell — and went out to walk in the street down to the docks. It was pitch black outside. In the dregs of the high he couldn’t stop moving his eyes. The long black water and the scouring wind driving sculptural frozen forms against stacked shipping containers, some of which contained (Remus knew) witches and wizards from obscure nations and their requisite monitoring equipment. Thousands of miles across the wide ice-bound bay invisible to the naked eye was the open thing, breathing truth, which had brought them all here, to this unlivable place, to watch it, as though it might not move when watched, as though it might not grow, as though it might even close if guilt were effectively applied, as though what came through it might be stopped before it did. Rather the same way, he sometimes supposed, Muggles felt about the thing which had created the tear in the first place.
-
At first he had done a great deal of thinking about the wound, which he soothed with alcohol and sleep and whatever drugs were offered or available, with painful music, with upsetting literature, with analytical writings about the war then in vogue in numerous wizarding publications, which he ordered by owl… He had the feeling that the wound must’ve healed badly, because it wasn’t really healed at all, so he tried to open it back up and see if then it would heal again, and when it didn’t he thought he should’ve understood this to be obvious. There was no healing the wound (time, after all, was the only thing known to reliably heal wounds, and there was no time in this place), there was only soothing it, and eventually nothing would suit to soothe it anymore except drinking, and finally even that sputtered out and failed, but by that point it was its own wound. He felt that his functional mind was only accessible if first he filled a well and swam to the bottom of it.
When he had first arrived, he hadn’t left the flat for weeks, until the transmission monitor from Bhutan, Sangay, came up from her shipping container and invited him over for tea. This was complicated by the fact that he had no winter wear appropriate for the conditions outside; they were obliged to borrow this from Manuel, the Salvadorian monitor, who was shorter than Remus, necessitating magical tailoring, and who disappeared in the permafrost five years later in an apparent suicide. They huddled together under the heat lamp in Sangay’s trailer smoking a joint and talking politics. “No one will tell me what happened in your country,” said Manuel.
“What ever happens. Powerful Dark wizards appeased by our Ministry until they attempt a coup.”
“Similar is underway in Thimphu,” Sangay said. “Similar is underway all over the world all the time.”
“It’s a sort of reactionary cycle,” Manuel said. “There are psychological studies. It will occur regularly in wizarding nations at any stage of development every twenty-five years or so.”
He understood they were trying to make him feel better. After all in the abstract there had been nothing particularly terrible about the British war. This was a common conclusion of the analytical papers. In 1985 the Sanguicrat party assumed control of the American Magical Congress, and the American transmission monitor, Rachel, disappeared in the middle of the night. Manuel claimed to have received an owl from her where she was in hiding in the Caribbean. Sangay was eventually summoned back to Bhutan to assume an evaluative role in a Truth and Reconciliation Commission established after the attempted Thimphu coup she’d been eyeing when they first met in 1981. He never told them any of the particulars.
Now that he had Manuel’s spare suit he went walking sometimes. He turned twenty-two and Sangay and Rachel made him a cake. While they ate it in the kitchen listening to American AM radio refracted off the curve of the earth he excused himself and sat on the edge of the bathtub watching himself in the mirror and trying to cry. The last thing he’d thought was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him was that Sirius had had a photobooth strip of the two of them in his wallet even after it all went to shit. It was from the Brighton Pier, ’78, August (it was always August), he had been having this inescapable feeling that he should be preparing for school, but school was over, over forever; he woke up in the uncomfortable hostel bunk beds each morning before Sirius did and walked in the street and along the beach listening to Quadrophenia on cassette feeling that of course something would have to break, not entirely certain what that thing was. The photobooth strip seemed to him later, when he noticed it in Sirius’s wallet as they were getting on the Tube together, summer 1981, like evidence of Sirius’s tendency to tell himself stories which proved his own martyrdom and supported his theories that his feelings were the largest and realest ever had by anybody. Remus had had a copy too but had torn it up the first time they’d broken up like any sensible person would.
At first he had tried to rig the monitoring equipment with his cassette player so that it might record transmissions while he was out or sleeping but this failed and Dumbledore cautioned him against it on one of his not-infrequent unannounced visits before Remus blocked off the Floo. At first he monitored particularly carefully transmissions preceded by the tones which indicated their provenance in the United Kingdom in case they contained evidence which had been missed. He collected this evidence obsessively and ordered materials from the Ministry. He went over Sangay and Rachel and Manuel’s notes from 31 October 1981 which had been a nothing day in their imaginations and rewound days after days with the time turner to research and re-listen and organize a case to present to the old man which indicated, at the very least, a reasonable doubt that things had gone the way they’d been explained. He presented this information to the old man in the late summer of 1982. He had reviewed it in silence at Remus’s desk as Remus sat on the floor with the headphones on recording transmissions, of which there were many that day due to a conflict among rival magical cults in Estonia. “Dear boy,” said the old man, closing the file, with symbolic finitude, closing the file on a man’s life, and on the yearning little blooms of Remus’s fragile hope, “he confessed.”
“I know — but I thought — ”
“I can show you the memory. Do you want to see it?”
They went in the kitchen. The old man winnowed the silver thread of it from his skull into the only clean bowl Remus had, which was chipping around the rim. Then he sat down at the kitchen table expectantly, so Remus went in the other room and sat cross-legged in the bed. It took him about twenty minutes to gather the wherewithal to chase his finger around the bowl and catch the edge of the memory and lift it to his forehead. Afterward the old man came in and took the memory back again. He had gotten up from the table and watched in the door. Remus kept it together until he left and even then for a little while, because Sangay came over and made lunch, and then he said he would walk her back to her place, and then he walked alone along the shore into the evening summer lightness, along the spits and points and spills of rock scarring the long dark shore and the long bright-grey sky. After a while he started running. He ran as fast as he could, lungs burning in the chill air, until he tripped and fell and skinned a knee and both palms in the rough earth. When he tried to stand he was dizzy and bent double and puked. At last he limped back to town. It was getting dark again. He realized he was terrified of the winter coming again. He had thought, perhaps, that they would have called him back by now — that the punishment might be temporary. That it might ever really be over.
The force of his grief somehow surprised him once more. He woke up one afternoon not long following in Manuel’s trailer. “You nearly drank yourself to death again,” said Manuel.
His tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth. When he sat up he could feel distinctly that his blood was mostly alcohol, because it felt cold and very thin inside him. “Again?” he rasped.
“You wouldn’t remember the first few times.” The tone sounded indicating a transmission and Manuel put his headphones on. “The girls are coming over soon with soup.”
-
Long ago, he had done the necessary research via the University of Edinburgh’s owl-order library program and had identified the most likely Dark spells that would be used when the hour came round at last. These were listed on a sheet of paper tacked up on the wall above his desk, beside the list of approved multi-person magic performances which was sent to him by owl or Floo (depending on the season) each week by the Ministry’s Department of Spell Regulation. These were almost always spells for cleaning or restoration performed by museums, realtors, or maintenance companies. Otherwise they were undertaken in academic settings, for research purposes, or for undisclosed defense purposes; these were usually heavily censored, because after all Remus was in Soviet Russia.

Late Night Snacks
You woke up to your stomach grumbling. Annoyed you grabbed your phone from the bed side table and opened it,regretting it as it’s bright light blinded your eyes instantly. “Ughhh” you groaned. After your eyes were done suffering you saw the time,3:02. You were having a great dream so waking up in the middle of it wasn’t that exciting. You checked for any texts from Sam and Dean as they were out on a hunt which left you alone with Jack,you didn’t mind it though,the kid was adorable. You got out of bed,shivering at the cold air which was at the same time a little refreshing,grabbed your headphones and left your room quietly so you wouldn’t wake Jack up,as his room was right next to yours. Making your way into the kitchen you thought of what to eat. A sandwich should do the job. You plugged your headphones into your phone and played your favorite songs as you started gathering your ingredients. You grabbed a plate and put down two pieces of bread while your body started swaying to the song playing in your ears. By the time your sandwhich was half done you were full on dancing to it. A slower song came on and you moved back to gentle swaying. Suddenly you felt two arms wrap around you from behind,hugging you, and a head resting on your right shoulder. This made you freeze “Jack? What are you doing?” a blush crept it’s way onto your cheeks as you drowned in the warmth of his body. You took out your headphones and stopped the music. “I saw someone do this in a movie,I thought it was nice” you could tell he was smiling,suddenly his tone changed and he sounded worried “Is this not nice? Did I make you uncomfortable?” You swallowed hard trying not to sound nervous “No no,it is nice,you just startled me a bit thats all” you put a hand over his that were on your waist and smiled “You’re really nice Jack” “You really think that?” You turned your head slightly to look at him,he did the same meeting your eyes “Yes I do l,and im happy we have you here” His smile returned and he seemed really flattered “Thank you Y/N” “How long were you watching me though?” “A few minutes,you looked very cute doing those moves” “It’s called dancing,im a pro at it,I’ll teach you sometime” You returned to making your sandwhich,Jack still wrapped around you and you relaxed more into him. Breathing in his scent. “What are you making?” he asked curiously,seriously Sam? You didn’t even teach him how to make a sandwhich? “It’s a sandwich,do you want one?” “Sure,can you teach me how to make one?” “Of course” A few seconds later you realised something. “Hey Jack?” you looked at him again. “Yes?” “Why are you awake?” this made his expression drop a bit,and he looked away “I uh…don’t usually sleep a lot,I keep having nightmares, and I don’t feel safe sleeping alone” his arms dropped from your waist,you turned around to face him starting to miss the contact. “Awh Jack,im really sorry,I get what you mean. But you can come to me anytime,don’t worry about bothering me,you wont” “You are very kind Y/N,thank you” his smile returned and you felt proud you were the one to bring it back. You returned his smile and went back to your sandwhich,Jack stepped next to you watching you intently. “Do you want some tea too?” By his confused expression you understood he didn’t know what it was,you giggled “Ill make you some”
Soon you were both walking back to your room,each holding a sandwhich and cup of tea,Jack really liked your favorite so you let him have it and you took Sam’s while making a mental note to buy more cups. Maybe get matching cups with Jack,that’d be adorable
You both sat on your bed and turned on the TV “Do you want to watch a movie?” Jack nodded at you whille stuffing the sandwhich into his mouth,you admired him for a bit taking in his adorableness. “Lets watch some Star Wars,you’ll probably like it since you were playing the game” You both got comfy and you put on the first chapter ,unconsciously snuggling into Jack. He took a sip of his tea. “Wait Ja-” it was too late,he groaned in pain covering his mouth with his free hand “-it’s too hot..” you finished. “Sorry” he sighed “It’s okay” you took the mug from him and put it next to yours “Come here” you wrapped him up in a hug “You’re lucky it’ll heal” You felt him nod and you pulled away both returning to the movie. You leaned against Jack covering both of you with a blanket,he wrapped his arm around you pulling you closer. Around half of movie later you started drifting in and out of consciousness,loud sounds occasionally waking you up,your eyes feeling heavy. You looked up at Jack who looked really focused on the movie,not wanting to interrupt him you only snuggled closer to him and decided to sleep,using him as a pillow,to be honest he was a great one. You placed one of your hands on Jacks chest and you could feel his heart beat,steady and calm. Soon you fell asleep letting Jack enjoy the movie.
******
You woke up,Jack around you made you remember the night prior. The movie was finished and you were both fully laying on the bed now,both of Jacks hands wrapped around you and your back pressed against his chest. He was seemingly still asleep so you decided to go back as well.
Who would’ve thought the son of Satan was so cuddly.
(sorry for spelling mistakes,im writing this rly fast on the train,hope you enjoyed it though)

i'm looking into getting a new phone before starting college cause while i love my current one (iphone 6s+) and have had it for something like 4+ years, it has been in need of a new battery for a while now and it probably wont be supported with the next operating system.
so i'm comparing it to the 12 and 12 mini (cause if im gonna shell out i may as well get the new one) and aaaaaghhhh i'd lose a lot if i did switch
first the obvious, headphone jack and the home button
i can probably get by without the jack but the button is a bigger thing. i still have an actual button, not a fake one like on the 7 or 8. it clicks!!! plus the whole button-less design is to let the screen go to the edged and i dont like that anyway. i prefer an actual rectangle.
not to mention touch id, i do not wanna get faceid and idc if the reasons i have are irrational i just dont. but also i do not want it to be THAT easy to buy shit or unlock my password manager, but i don't want my simple 6 digit passcode to do that either.
the 12 screen isn't much bigger, and the 12mini is actually SMALLER than my current one.
the biggest loss though? AUDIO
MY PHONE IS RATED FOR 80 HOURS OF AUDIO AND THE 12 IS ONLY 65! MINI JUST 50!!!
it doesnt feel worth ittttttt

Droner Board, Mk. I
Mission Statement: design and build a musical instrument utilizing basic electronic circuits and DIY or Recycled materials which will allow me to play and record a low bass guitar drone.
Necessary Components:
Base
Bass String
String Hardware
Pickup
Driver Pickup
Amplifier Circuit
Control Panel
I/O
Eventual add on components:
Preamp/overdrive
Compressor
Spring Reverb
Delay (probably DM-2 clone or similar)
Piezo pickup
Below is a breakdown of each bit, what im planning, and what issues i’m expecting to run into
Base:
Wood, i have MDF stuff i can glue together for this, it really just needs to be long enough to hold the whole bass string standard bass scale length), and thick enough that it doesn’t warp under the tension. Maybe glue two boards together, or reinforce it somehow? WCTW i can invest in some better wood, but I’m sure it’s one of the easier hurdles to overcome in my list of potential hangups.
Bass String:
Easiest part of it. I need one string that’ll clearly produce something between a G0 and an E1 (very likely a D1, potentially retuned to C1 or A0 depending on the song). worst comes to worse i can get a 5 string bass set and use the low string for this after using the rest to restring one of my instruments. the biggest concern i have is whether a bass string would be too much metal to move with standard guitar sustainer drivers. Once i can prove this works, i’ll likely move on to 2-6 string set ups, just what i need musically to make IRL reese/hoover bass lines or somethings, so long as they’re kept distant enough to allow for individual manipulation, but honestly 90% of what i want to do with this is set and forget-type stuff in terms of the notes themselves, so i’m not too bothered by the lack of tonal variation. WCTW i can just retune it on the fly or do multiple takes of different notes if i need to. strings might not be too expensive, but the electronics likely will be unless i can find a viable way of making some of this myself.
String Hardware:
This is the probably the easiest one to take care of. Anything’ll work so long as it’ll hold tuning. i might not even need a nut. Just some kind of bridge, some kind of tuning peg, and intonation isn’t a factor since no frets. I can probably get away with nailing the string to the wood or putting an eye hook on there or something, then running it over a wood or brass bar for the bridge.
Pickup:
The first real head scratcher, i need something that’ll recreate the low frequencies well enough without getting too flubby or muddy. i can use either a sideways single coil, or maybe half of a harvested p-bass pickup. Ideally i might do a custom 1 or 2 pole bobbin for it, but wiring pickups is a bit above my paygrade for right now, so i’ll probably go with another option unless none exist.
Sustainer Driver:
The second real tricky bit. outside of picking up a used sustainer pickup system, my main idea is to do something similar to what EvanKale did in a since privated DIY video, where he harvests small passive magnetic buzzers for it; strip each of the sound cones off of it leaving just the driver coils, then wired two in series per string. outside of that, i’m not sure what i could do within my means; sustainer pickups tend to be wound differently than standard guitar pickups (most of the online tutorials for making your own involve rewiring single coil bobbins with only the top half of the pickup wound), and given it’s a bass string i’m not sure exactly what my options are, since i’m not sure how well a standard guitar sustainer would work on a bass, and i don’t think i’ve ever heard of a bass string utilizing one.  might be as simple as going from a 9v to 12v amplifier, or throwing on an extra coil or buzzer, or it could be beyond the capabilities of modern physics. We shall see! Also of note, my buddy Joseph C. suggested maybe setting up several small drivers along the length of the string, to allow for different harmonics and overtones to be brought out.
Amplifier Circuit:
in the Evan Kale project, he used a simple 9v altoid tin amp circuit. Something like that or a headphone guitar amp type sound should work perfectly fine. i’m sure i’ll over think it, but i just need a cheap circuit to cleanly drive the sustainer coils.
Control Panel:
Controls have the potential to be super simple or incredibly hard. Just depends on how much work i wanna do. Right now the idea was to have two modes - always on w/ a momentary “play” button, and the pup always on w/ a momentary sustainer button. Outside of that, there’s potential for a passive or active EQ/tone section, volume, and driver amp gain. might want to use faders for certain parts, but i’m not too picky otherwise.
I/O Panel:
Super simple. 1/4″ TS cable out most likely, maybe an XLR if i end up doing mainly direct in stuff, but ideally it’ll be run into amps, pedals, and/or amp sims like a standard guitar. for power, likely a 9v standard pedal jack, but if i throw in some future effects or modules an IC port with a built in power supply might be the way to go to simplify the wiring path.
Preamp:
The first not-so-needed module, an (ideally tube driven) pre amp for overdrive would be amazing. a blend knob, maybe an hp/lp for the effected signal, general input/output gain stuff, etc, that way the gain can be tailored to the song or vibe needed, and it can be set up to not interfere with the fundamental freq
Compressor:
mainly just to tame the sound, or process the pre-amp signal more. a compressor could be added to output bus easily, and since it’s likely just a single, constant drone, it wont do much good, but having one to tweak the envelope of the sound while being played rhythmically might help keep it from dangerous clipping or something. probably lowest priority, unless im failing to anticipate something.
Spring Reverb:
gotta do a prototype spring reverb module for other stuff, but the general idea is - reverb tank + basic (usually 12v) driver circuit, then a blend knob and (if im clever enough) a feedback control. doesn’t need to be part of it, but it’d be cool, and if i leave the tank open i can manipulate the springs live, making cool sounds along with the drones
Delay: 
just a DM-2 or something similar shoved into it somehow. maybe have a switch that changes the order of the Spring tank and the delay, change which signal flows into what. again, not a high priority, but would be cool to have it on board, since i want to play the effects just as much as the single, one note string.
Piezo Pickup:
not hard to implement, but unimportant, maybe have a piezo pickup in the bridge or what not, have a volume knob which blends it in, giving an organic, bright tone over the drone/warmth of the magnetic pickup. i wouldn’t drive the sustainer with the piezo signal, but it’d be cool to have it there for tonal variety.
---------
With this all in mind, first step is to make sure the MDF boards i have are long enough and strong enough to use for this. worse comes to worst i could always get a 2x2 or 2x4 or something and cut it down to what i need, but the less i have to spend and buy, realistically the more likely i am to finish this, and i have a LOT of recycled MDF.
After that, i gotta figure out the string apparatus, and then from there the pickups and driver systems. the rest is either incredibly easy to implement once those are figured out, or aren’t necessary to make it function.
Updates and pictures/sketches coming soon!

Remember the buttonless abomination that was the HTC U12+? Samsung apparently took a long hard look at that concept and decided it's something it needs to get into. Seriously, a new rumor today, claimed to originate at "a source familiar with the company's plans", says the Galaxy Note10 will be devoid of any actual physical buttons. Those will be replaced by capacitive or pressure-sensitive areas, which will probably be highlighted by raised bumps or special textures along the edge. Read: faux buttons. Read: HTC U12+ redux. Let's hope Samsung manages to pull this off more than HTC could,...

New Post has been published on Fazeup
New Post has been published on https://www.fazeup.tk/2019/05/uh-oh-galaxy-word-10-wont-have-headphone-jack-bodily-keys/
Uh-oh: Galaxy Word 10 won't have headphone jack, bodily keys
An nameless supply talking with Android Police means that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Word 10 will abandon two issues that each Word system has had since Day 1: a headphone jack and bodily buttons.
Allegedly, Samsung is planning on launching the Word 10 with no headphone jack and with capacitive (touch-based) buttons instead of “clicky” energy, quantity, and Bixby buttons.
If this rumor seems to be true, the Word 10 can be the primary flagship smartphone from Samsung with out the much-beloved audio port (except for the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which nonetheless doesn’t have a launch date). This can little question ruffle the feathers of Samsung followers who’ve long-championed the corporate for not dropping the port whereas rivals — corresponding to Apple, Google, and OnePlus — go away it behind.
Editor’s Decide
Samsung Galaxy Word 10 might get quad rear digital camera setup, 5G, and a brand new identify
The rumored Samsung Galaxy Word 10 might include 4 rear cameras, in line with hypothesis from SamMobile yesterday. Although it did not point out a supply, the web site mentioned the upcoming handset might characteristic the quad-camera setup, giving the system …
The capacitive buttons rumor will in all probability be much less contentious, though many customers of HTC gadgets with capacitive keys bumped into bother with the design characteristic.
The Galaxy Word 10 will probably launch in August in a number of variants. It’s potential there shall be an everyday model, a “pro” or bigger model, and a 5G model — though the professional and 5G variations may very well be one and the identical.
What do you suppose? Would you cease shopping for Samsung telephones if the corporate removes the headphone jack? Or have you ever accepted the destiny of the jack’s removing? Tell us within the feedback.
Within the meantime, learn up on all of the credible rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Word 10 beneath:
