hi :3!! can u write hcs or a short fic of miya chinen with a rich!s/o that constantly spoils him? like, he'd talk about wanting something, and then a second later, that thing is right next to him? HSHSHS SORRY IF MY GRAMMAR'S BADD, ENG IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE :'D

EEEE omg I would love to!! Tysm for requesting 🫶💞

I want it, I got it

synopsis: Miya chinens rich s/o loves to spoil him, especially during the holidays!

WC: 1.2k

"Hey Miya!" You say as you hear him pick up the phone.

"oh hey, what's up?" he responds, the sounds of racing skateboards emitting from the background.

"oh sorry are you at practice right now?" you apologize.

"Yeah, but it's fine, what do you need?' he replied.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping later, ya know for christmas and stuff" you ask as you roll over on your bed.

"sure, what time were you thinking-"

"miya breaks over!"

"crap" he groaned

"text me the time alright? gotta go, love you" he said as he hung up the phone.

You smiled as you gleefully texted your boyfriend the times you wanted to meet up.

“How do you feel about 1:00-1:30sih?”

you then threw your phone down onto your bed and patiently waited for a response.

Growing up rich always made it easy for you to spoil your beloved boyfriend. whether it was clothes or games, everything he wanted, you bought. Every time you would buy him something you could tell he felt a little bad for not being able to pay you back, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. But as long as he was happy, that’s all the return you needed.

At around 12:00 in the afternoon you hear a slight ‘ding!’ Come from your phone.

“Yea sure, i'll meet you at the mall at 1:00”

The message read from your Lock Screen.

You hearted the message and stood up to start getting ready.

You walked into your closet, which housed a tremendous amount of clothing, and grabbed out a comfortable yet classy outfit.

After you changed your clothes, you walked out of the closet and into the bathroom attached to your bedroom.

All of your toiletries were there, ranging from things like drugstore deodorant to luxury perfumes.

You brushed your teeth and then quickly lathered on your favorite deodorant scent.

You opened the drawer connected to your sink and pulled out a hairbrush.

You combed your hair until it was knot free, and then spritzed on a bit of perfume to top it all off.

You start to make your way out of your room and downstairs to the main area. You walk over to your garage and grab your purse off a shelf.

“I’m leaving, going shopping, be back soon!” You yell as you exit the house.

As soon as you enter the garage you kick up your skateboard and start on your way to the mall.

When you arrived at the mall you left your skateboard in one of the bike stands and waited outside for Miya.

seconds upon arrival you hear a skateboard coming up behind you. when you turned around to see who it was, you were met with the face of your boyfriend.

"hey! How was practice?" you say, greeting him.

"it was ok, kinda boring to be honest" he says, parking his skateboard next to mine.

"Well, are you ready to shop?" you ask cheerfully.

"yup" he smiles in response.

the two of you walked over to the entrance and pulled open the large doors.

"So where do you wanna go first?" you ask.

"i'm not really sure, there was this new game i wanted to look at but its kinda expensive" he replies sheepishly

"where can you buy it?" you add.

"I'm pretty sure they sell it at GameStop, why?" he says, giving you a puzzled look.

"well you want it, so I'm buying it for you"

and before he could get another word in, you grabbed his hand and took off towards the store.

it was down the hall from where you were, so it only took a few seconds to get to.

"you really don't have to buy it, it's fine" Miya protested.

"I want to buy it for you!" you say as you drag him into the store.

"So what game is it?" you say, aimlessly wandering around the store.

He stays silent for a moment.

"Splatoon 3.." he says, obviously embarrassed.

you giggle slightly at his reddened face.

you walked over to the section of the store titled "Switch games", knowing that that was his main gaming system.

you scanned the shelves until you came across the package titled "Splatoon 3"

you grabbed it off the shelf and got in line to pay.

"Is this all?" the cashier said as he rang up the game.

"yes" you replied while grabbing your wallet out of your purse.

"Will you be paying cash or card today?" he added.

"card" you said, grabbing your credit card from the wallet.

you slid the card into the reader and paid for the game.

"thank you, have a nice day" the worker said as he handed you the bag.

"you too!" you replied, happily grabbing the bag.

you turned around and walked over to miya, who was now standing against the shelf closest to the line.

"here you go!" you said, handing him the bag.

"Thank you!" he said as he engulfed you in a sudden hug.

you felt your face heat up, but you soon relaxed into it.

"your welcome!" you replied with a laugh and a smile.

he released you from the hug, and while still holding onto your hand, the two of you started to walk out of the store.

"do you mind if we head over to Forever 21? there's some things i wanna pick up" you asked as the both of you reentered the busy mall.

"i don't mind" he said, looking at you with a smile.

you smiled back and you made your way towards forever 21.

When you arrived at the store you wandered around for a bit, grabbing a few clothing articles you liked.

until coming across a sweatshirt.

"omg miya look at what i found!" you exclaim.

you held up a grey sweatshirt that had two cats on it with their tails making a heart.

"isnt it cute??" you add.

"Yea it's cute i guess" he replies.

"you wanna get matching ones??" you ask excitedly.

"sure" he says with a slight smile.

you grab two of the sweatshirts and put them into your basket with the rest of the clothes you had originally picked out.

"hm....well now that we have matching sweatshirts we might as well get matching pants" you say as you start to scavenge for pajama pants.

you look for a good few minutes until you find them.

It was a matching set of pink and black hello kitty pajama pants.

"miya come look at these" you say.

"we should totally match with these" you add with a smile.

"no way i'm not wearing hello kitty pants!" he huffs.

"aww cmon pleaseee" you plead dramatically.

"fine! But only because you want them!" he says.

it was obvious he did not want them just because you did

you giggled at his childishness.

"I think this is all I need, are you ready to go?" I ask.

"yea i'm ready" he says as you start to make your way over to the line.

When the two of you make it to the front of the line, you hand the clothes to the cashier and quickly pay.

"hey..i just wanted to say thank you for everything" Miya said as the two of you started to make your way out of the mall.

"it's no problem! you know how much I love buying you stuff" you say, slightly squeezing his hand tighter.

he slightly leans his head on your shoulder and almost inaudibly says

"i love you" 

A/N: sorry this isn't my best work, I've been feeling really sick lately, but I still hope you enjoy it

from @villageauntie on instagram: “was asked to share ideas of what people who are unable to attend physical gatherings can do to support. these are some of the things i came up with. please feel free to add more in the comments.

yes, i am purposefully leaving out certain words and flags so this post can stay in the feed. but you know who and what this post is for”

id under the cut.

image 1 ID: white title text against a dark gray background that says "nine things you can do" with the subtitle "i was asked to compile a list of suggested activities for those who are unable to attend protests or who are not active on social media. these are from my own experience and those taken from history. i invite you to explore additional ways to support and share them in the comments".

image 2 ID: title says "pray tahajjud". subtitle says "wake in the last third of the night and pray. pray without ceasing. pray like you mean it. prayer is not the least we can do, it is the best we can do. know that your prayers reach. so reach inside and use your limbs and your tongue to supplicate to the one from whom all mercy descends. pray. pray. pray".

image 3 ID: title says "provide childcare". subtitle says "many who are active in the struggle are also parenting young children. offer to watch the babies so that both physical and digital organizing can take place. you can offer to watch children in your home, at the community center, a house of worship, or even outside. just offer it and make it free".

image 4 ID: title says "get educated". subtitle says "read books on palestine, on sudan, on the struggles of oppressed people worldwide. study anti-colonial thought. watch documentaries. study about makandal. read june jordan, kwame ture, amilcar cabral, james baldwin, toni morrison, marc lamont hill, and others. read more, scroll less (unless you are scrolling to get informed). read, digest, reflect".

image 5 ID: title says "educate others". subtitle says "organize a study circle. talk to your friends. interrupt falsehood with fact. have meaningful conversations with coworkers. ask questions, listen more. use what you have read to empower your family. read to their children. answer their questions. use your voice to help others to know and never forget".

image 6 ID: title says "prepare meals". subtitle says "make food. buy food from a local restaurant that is trustworthy. buy fruit. take it to your neighbors, to the masjid, to those who are or will be actively protesting. feed the people because nourishment is important and food is a way to show love and support".

image 7 ID: title says "organize fundraisers". subtitle says "if you have something you can make/sell, use it for a fundraiser. food, quilts, artwork, services, whatever. sell it and donate it to reputable charities providing support. something is better than nothing. no amount raised is too small". as an addition from me, i've also seen people do free art for people willing to commit to calling their reps every day. and for places to donate, i've seen lots of people talking about humanitarian organizations, but two more that i'd like to suggest are the palestinian social fund (palestiniansocialfund.com, their about says "The path to liberation requires material support that is directed toward self-sustainability. The Palestinian Social Fund raises unconditional funding for cooperative farms in Palestine through grassroots efforts. These farms are started by youth who are returning to the land to reclaim food sovereignty and control their own destiny.") and palestine action (palestineaction.org), who participate in direct action activism against weapons trading with israel, mainly focusing on the company elbit.

image 8 ID: title says "engage in arts activism". subtitle says "write poems. paint, sew, sing, dance, create. the artists are desperately needed. make work that amplifies the moment and educates. pour your heart into your craft with the intention to help. art can do what other activism cannot. say it with your craft".

image 9 ID: title says "participate in digital organizing". subtitle says "use your devices as organizing tools. set up a weekly zoom. invite speakers to engage and educate. engage in digital campaigns and letter writing. harness the power of technology for the greater good".

image 10 ID: title says "write letters/essays". subtitle says "write to your elected officials. flood their interns with letters and calls. write essays and post them to your substack/medium/local paper. people are looking to be informed. add your voice through the written word. people will read".

I've just been looking at Mystia's Izakaya order bonuses for different stores, for the purposes of adding them to the MFC database, and I figured I should share them here too since I do like a lot of them. Preorders close on February 22nd 2024, so if you really want the game and haven't ordered it yet, you have a few days left to do that as of the date of this post.

The image descriptions for everything in this post are in the alt text. I'll mention if I know a store ships worldwide, but I won't if I don't.

I've personally ordered through Amiami, so I'll cover that first, but before even that, here's an overview of the special edition.

First, you of course get the game. It's a switch game, nothing too unique about it in comparison to other switch games. The cover features some nice art of Mystia, Kyouko, Marisa and Reimu, with Youmu and Yuyuko in the background too. It looks like this art is also present on the box for the whole product, and it's featured on another piece of merch later in this post too.

Outside of the game, the special edition also comes with a figure strap of Mystia, some playing cards and a soundtrack. These items have been posted about on the game's steam page here, so feel free to read that if you want to know more about these specific items and see a more detailed image of them all.

Now onto store-specific bonuses, under the read-more:

Amiami

The Amiami bonus is an acrylic keychain of Reimu and marisa, featuring the art that's used for them in-game. I think it's nice that this bonus features characters from the game outside of Mystia and Kyouko, and you'll see that more later on as well.

Through Amiami, you can order the Special Edition, with all the items shared above, or the Regular Edition, with just the game and the order bonus. Or, if you just want the game, you can get that there too.

Amiami ships globally, so you can safely order from here outside of Japan no problem.

Amazon JP

Amazon JP's order for the game has two versions, one with a beer glass and a coaster, and one with only a coaster. The coaster features art from the game of Mystia and Kyouko, and the glass has a very small image of Mystia. I really like these bonuses, I think they're really fitting for the game.

Amazon JP has both limited and regular edition, as well as versions of both with no exclusive bonus, only the coaster or the coaster and glass. But you can choose from the items page, so I'll only link the one

Melonbooks

Melonbooks' bonus is an acrylic keychain of Flandre with her art from the game, which you can get with either the limited edition or regular edition.

I like this bonus. It's about on the same level as the Amiami bonus, it's cute and it's nice to see characters outside of Mystia and Kyouko be included.

I believe melonbooks can be bought from using a service such as Buyee, though I'd look into that yourself if you're interested in it.

Gamers

Gamers' bonus is a tin badge of Flandre. It also comes with some bromides of the EOSD cast. I don't have too much to say about these, I feel similarly to them as the other merch mentioned above

You can buy the limited edition version or the regular edition

and then we have Ebten. Oh boy.

Ebten

Ebten has two acrylic stands of Mystia and Kyouko, in their work uniforms, as well as a plate featuring Mystia and a tapestry of the game's cover art. There's also some bromides. I don't think there's any denying that this is the most impressive set of merch. Theres's a ton of items that're unique when compared to other stores. There's even MORE stuff availible if you go through all the different versions.

Ebten is hard for me to navigate, so I'll share one link

Other Stores

There's other stores that're selling the game that don't seem to have bonuses, so you can find a full list here

Okay so I see your TLT to Archive Undying prop, I see you know/read at least some of Baru - how would you sell me (a diehard Baru girlie ride or die, that's my autism rizz failgirlboss, my beloved) on Archive?

*if you have the time/interest/spoons*

oooh this was. a tricky one. bc. can i tell you a secret:

i didn't finish the traitor baru cormorant! i didn't like it enough! i can see how ppl would like it but the combo of the slow pacing + that particular brand of dark content just wasn't for me. & that's ok! but it does mean that i didn't feel fully equipped to answer this question on my own.

so after consulting w my local baru expert @urban-sith, i have come to present you with these conclusions:

both books rely a lot on the reader's ability to keep up with the worldbuilding. if you like picking up pieces of facts about a world and adding them to your little mental file, the archive undying is a book you will enjoy.

making an educated guess on this one, bc ire isn't texting me back fast enough: rereading is a value add for both books. like you will fully get Mileage out of archive, as i am guessing one does out of baru.

sunai, the protag and primary pov character of archive, is not so much baru cormorant as he is tain hu. self-sacrificing. kind of silly. disaster gay. spoiler: he does have a happier ending than tain hu does. low bar, that.

some differences that may or may not be selling points!:

archive takes a very locked tomb approach to gender & sexuality. there's a couple non-binary characters in the book and it's treated VERY normally. one of them has a gun.

time passing is much less obvious in archive? like weeks at a time are skipped over during traveling, but in such a way that it's easy to miss. it's mostly revealed in the sunai & veyadi talk to each other—the dialogue between them really landed for me as "two people who know each other well having a conversation".

related to that: so many things happen in archive. the pacing is INSANE. i find it fun, but if you liked baru's pacing you may think it feels rushed.

something to note is. well. seth is a white man. and not saying that white men can't write well about empires and imperialism/colonialism, but it's not like he's experienced colonization himself. emma mieko candon, on the other hand, is 4th generation japanese in hawaii. imperialism is a background theme in archive compared to baru cormorant, but i felt that its understanding of how empires and imperial states can layer on top of each other was much more nuanced.

no one in baru cormorant buys a chicken to use as an alarm system.

i hope this helps!!! even if i didn't sell you fully i hope u feel enabled to make an informed choice 🥰

[the-autistic-agoraphobe]

I was scrolling through my Facebook when I came across this monstrosity. There is alot wrong with this post and I am going to discuss it.

First Autism isnt something that should be prevented or cured  to "prevent" or "cure" Autism is like trying to stop me from existing in a way because if I wasn't Autistic I wouldn't be the person that I am. Being Autistic affects every aspect of my personality and my life. When I hear the words "preventing Autism" or "curing Autism" I hear that people like me shouldn't exist. Which is very harmful and hurtful. Autism is not a bad thing it is a neutral thing and a natural variation of humans. To "prevent" or "cure" Autism is like trying to "prevent" or "cure"  gayness which isn't right. Autism isnt a disease or illness.

Secondly most Autistic folk don't believe the colour blue should be used to represent Autism because it is associated with a group known as Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks has been very problematic to Autistic folk as they advocate for a "cure" for Autism and subject many Autistic people to abusive therapies. They don't listen to the voices of Autistic folk when it's our disability. Most Autistic people prefer to use the colours red and gold instead.

The next problem is that Charlie Brown and Snoopy are wearing shirts that depict a puzzle piece symbol. Even though some Autistic folk like to use the puzzle piece as the missing piece to the mystery about why they have felt different for many years and found out that they're Autistic many Autistics are against the puzzle piece symbol for Autism. There are a few reasons for this. One reason is that Autism Speaks which was mentioned above uses it heavily. Another reason is that it implies that we are a puzzle that needs to be solved. Again Autism doesn't need to be cured. Only Autistic people should use the puzzle piece. A popular symbol amongst the Autistic community is the infinity symbol which implies that there are infinite ways of thinking.

The last thing I want to mention that it is highly likely that the business "Cooly sunny" isn't ran by Autistic people as they have made many mistakes with his post that an Autistic person wouldn't make. I feel as though they are taking advantage of Autism to make money. If you wish to support Autistic people this April I would advise buying Autism stuff from businesses owned by Autistic people. There is plenty of good Autism stuff for sale on Etsy.

I would advise that Cooly Sunny should stop selling these shirts and make an apology to Autistic folk and learn more about Autism from Autistic folk. They also contradict themselves by saying that they want to get rid of Autism but yet to accept Autism that doesn't make sense. Remember this April to listen to Autistic people about Autism. It's our disability and we know what being Autistic is like through first hand experience.

Image Descriptions:

1: There is an advertisement on Facebook from a brand called "Cooly Sunny". There is black text on a white background that says "Autism Awareness & Prevention Autism Awareness Month is is coming! We Wear Blue to rep the love, support and attention we give to those we love. Join the fight to end Autism with our new Autism Awareness & Prevention T-shirts. Care more about the vulnerable groups around you, they are kind but need your love! To help others is to help yourself, let's unite, give this cold world some more warmth! Everyone is matter! Everyone is loved! Shop Now (link to shop)

Hashtag AutismAwareness hashtag Autism hashtag Blue hashtag Love" Their profile picture is "cooly sunny" written in black text on a white background.

2: There is a blue shirt with white text on it. The white text says "I wear blue for Autism Awareness accept understand love" Snoopy who is a cartoon black and white beagle dog is on the shirt beside his owner Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is a white cartoon boy. Both Charlie and Snoopy have their heads tilted up so you can see underneath their chins. They are both wearing blue shirts with puzzle pieces on them. End Descriptions.

Nervous Young Inhumans

Masterpost

Chapter Eight.

“So, uh, you remember when Mr. White didn’t want to let us be partners in chem?” Jesse chuckled between waffle bites.

Ellie laughed, “he said I’d let you do nothing all year. Which was true. I just wanted to sit next to you.”

“I got so lucky you liked that class,” he poured more maple syrup on his plate.

“God, if we’d been seeing Biochemistry I would’ve actually enjoyed it. Inorganic chemistry was never my thing.”

“What’s the difference?”

“You know,” she took a bite of his waffles and he took some of her pancakes, “one’s concerned with four elements mainly, and with organic processes. The other’s a mess only Walter White enjoys.”

He laughed.

“Ugh, and he wanted to pair me with that girl, what was her name?” El asked.

“Rachel,” Jesse laughed, “and you hated her because you thought we’d slept together.”

“C’mon! It’s been years now, admit it! It was before me!”

“Ellie-“ he shook his head, took a sip from his orange juice, “El, you were my first.”

She was genuinely confused. Her face showed disbelief, but Jesse nodded.

“You said-“

“I wanted to impress you, we were sixteen.”

She nodded, smiling.

“Well you know you were my first,” she shrugged, “actually, you’ve been my only.”

He looked at her wide eyed.

“No way.”

She nodded.

“I don’t know,” she took another bite of food, “everyone else I always pictured you there and I knew we’d make fun of them together. I never met anyone that made me feel that way. Like we were laughing at the same part of the joke.”

He smiled.

“Yeah, but it’s just sex, right?”

“It’s okay, I don’t expect you to say you also stayed chaste. I should sleep around more.”

He shook his head, furrowed his brow and made a disgusted face. He mouthed a no.

They ate breakfast, like he wanted.

Then she dropped him off at his aunt’s house and went back to work, thinking, hey, maybe we can be friends and one day we’ll laugh about being each other’s firsts.

Then laughing at that thought alone, knowing there was no damn way she’d ever stop feeling something this intense for him.

***

They kept texting, but they didn’t see each other for the next few days.

Ellie focused on work, which wasn’t hard, considering how demanding it was. Your life had to be pretty chaotic to be relevant besides a medical career.

Jesse was getting kicked out of his aunt’s house, trying to figure out what was next and refusing to tell El - he knew she’d agree to let him stay with her, but what good would that do? She’d not only worry about him then, but also see no way to justify what he’d been doing if he was fucking homeless.

Even when Walt suggested it, he just snapped harder at him.

Those days she was more actively involved in work than she’d been since she’d seen Jesse again.

Meanwhile, Jesse was touring through all his contacts trying to find a place to stay or a way to make his life work without making it obvious how much he needed El.

The messes that boy went through to avoid calling.

***

Jesse called her after a few days of ambiguous texting. She picked up in the hall of the hospital.

“Hey,” his voice came, “so, uh, how are you?”

“How are you? I drove by your aunt’s house,” she hesitated, “you’re really selling it, huh?”

“Oh, uh, yeah - figured it was time to get my own place.”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m in my new crib,” she heard him moving around in the background, “it’s actually sick, yo.”

“So you found a place! That’s so great, Jess!”

“Yeah, yeah, uh,” he hesitated, “uh, so - would you like to see it?”

“Yes,” she knew he could hear her smile on the other side, “I’d love to see it.”

“Come over, yeah, we can uh, cook or,” she heard something fall, “shit…”

“Jess?”

“Yeah, or maybe takeout. I need to buy like furniture and kitchen shit still.”

“Takeout’s good.”

“Tonight at eight?”

“Hmm, I finish really late. Does tomorrow work?”

“Yeah! Yes, tomorrow works.”

“See you then. I gotta get back to work.”

“Same, same. Keeping busy, yo. I’ll see you later! Bye!”

He hung up.

***

Shit. He looked at the broken bong on the ground he’d dropped while playing with it, distracted by talking to El.

Jesse sighed, sweeping up the glass with his bare hands.

***

He was taking off his white hoodie when he opened the door.

“You found it!” he called, throwing it behind him and walking out to give Ellie a hug.

“Is this your car?” she asked, pointing.

“Yeah, uh,” he shrugged, “not the bouncing wonder but it gets me there.”

She smirked playfully.

“Ahhh,” he shook his head and laughed, “c’mon let’s get inside.”

There was no furniture anywhere, but the place was nice. Like decent-people nice.

“How’d you get this? Did you fake credit scores?”

“I, uhh, just talked to them. The owners renting the place.”

“Huh,” she looked around, taking her jacket off and finding nowhere to put it, dropping it on top of his on the ground. “It’s nice. Really nice, Jess. I’m happy for you.”

“Hell yeah,” he gave her another half hug.

“So what d’you wanna order?” he asked.

“Pizza?”

“Let’s do that.”

***

They were eating on the edge of his mattress on the floor, pages strewn around.

“How’d the last one turn out?”

“Check it,” he showed her the drawing, the edges stained with pizza grease. In it Ellie was wearing the bottom half of her scrubs and a sports bra, holding a gun towards the viewer.

She burst out laughing. “I love it,” she pointed to the gun with her pinkie while holding a pizza slice, “but I wouldn’t know how to use that.”

“Yeah, well, you learn.”

They smiled at each other.

She wiped her hands on a napkin and leaned back on the mattress.

“We need to get you a couch,” she said.

“I have a whole plan, feng shui, you’ll see,” he leaned back with her.

They stared at the ceiling, but she felt him turning every few seconds to look at her. It lasted almost thirty seconds.

Ellie turned to face him. Jesse turned and stared into her eyes, down at her lips, than back at her eyes again. They stayed that way for a moment.

“You want a beer?” she snapped out of it, standing up.

“Uhh, yeah,” he sat up and rested his arm on his knee, “sure yeah.”

“‘kay. Be right back.”

Snow-Centric Merch Haul Part 2: MyM Magazine Issue #21

03/18/22 | Bought on Mercari | 15.90 USD (free shipping)

Welcome to part 2 of my Snow-Centric Merch Haul!

*Despite my listing of dates, merch-find posts will be out-of-order.

TIL:

MyM Magazine is a UK-based magazine subscription.

Amazon does not offer free shipping on magazine subscriptions... yes, even old ones.

You can buy the issue New on Amazon for 7.95 + 5.85 shipping. Which is cheaper and, hopefully, better condition than what I paid for it!

-

My thoughts:

I impulse-bought this as soon as it popped up on my feed. I broke the cardinal rule of online shopping: always price-check before buying! Especially on Mercari, where the prices tend to run higher than either eBay or Amazon.

I was just incredibly excited to see an actual magazine use Snow's render on the cover instead of Lightning's–the game's named after her, after all!

In my biased opinion: good choice. Anyone who played FFXIII remembers Snow as the hero (for better or worse). The visual changes we see in Snow tell a much greater story than Lightning, who went from soldier > goddess > ... vigilante?

I think LR is her weakest design, followed by XIII-2. I don't feel either tell us much about Lightning or the growth she experienced herself–just the roles forced onto her.

Anyways...

I appreciate how clean the render sits on a white background, with the content framing Snow–all the tangents point right to him. He's the quiet spot, sitting in the middle of all the LOUD and BOLDED text.

The shadows and subtle blue lighting look right out of a photoshoot haha. Good on the designer.

I love how the handle of the axe occupies on the empty space on the bottom left. It's meaningful empty space–it guides the viewer's attention right back to Snow.

The item itself:

I sell too. I love good packaging, detailed item descriptions, etc.

The only flaw is a slight tear on the back cover. All pages are clean, no worn spine, no dog-ears or other folds from what I can see.

It was sent in a bubble mailer, inside a plastic wrap (this is the correct way to ship things to avoid weather damage) with cardboard inserted.

I did skim the pages inside. The LR pages gave a quick summary, showed Lumina, Lightning, etc. Nothing that piqued my interest.

Final thoughts:

I should make my own Snow-centric magazine. I have a degree. I have the illustration, design, and writing know-how. I can commission "guest" artists.

Hm. If I can produce, let's say, twenty illustrations... ahaha. Maybe a longer-term project that I can stack on top of my other many projects.

 Text Chemistry Pdf : Does It Really Work?

evaluation of Text chemistry PDF

Relationships with other people are an important part of people's lives. They can fulfill human needs, such as social connections, close relationships, and intimacy. It's almost as hard to find the right person as it is to keep a real relationship with someone. Dealing with a life filled with love can be hard, but it's worth it. Even though our loved ones can give us advice when things aren't going well in a relationship, it doesn't mean that it's always the best advice.

Introduction to Rosalia's Merchandise

The brand offers a wide range of products, from clothing and accessories to home decor and beauty products. Every item is designed with the modern woman in mind, with an emphasis on bold prints and bright colors.

Most importantly, Rosalia's Merchandise is about more than just selling products. The company is committed to helping women feel good about themselves, inside and out. Through their blog, social media channels, and events, they provide positive messages and uplifting content that encourages self-love and body-positivity.

In a world that often tells women to be smaller, quieter, and less visible, Rosalia's Merchandise is a powerful reminder that every woman is valuable and deserving of love and respect. When you wear their clothes or use their products, you're not just supporting a great company – you're sending a message to the world that says "I'm proud to be me!"

Pairing: Jungkook x Female reader

Words: 4.7k

Genre: smut, angst, fluff if you squint really hard, childhood friends to lovers AU

Warnings: unprotected sex, bathroom sex, infidelity, JK is a heartthrob that is bad at feelings, YN realises she’s been in love with JK all along.

A/N: this is me trying to write longer fics, I liked how this one came out yayyy. This goes out to the @thebtswritersclub​ monthly prompt _____ to lovers, in this case it’s childhood friends to lovers. I just- I really liked how it came out, I’m so excited to know what you guys think of it.

Summary: Falling in love is such a curious thing in life, Jungkook would know best, after pinning over you for years on end, only to have his best friend take away his opportunity, or does he?

The sun was shining brightly over the park as you made your way down the slide, hot skin scorching at the contact with the yellow plastic, although you couldn’t bring yourself to care as much as your mother would, meeting Sungho at the end of it, who was covering his eyes as best as his arms would allow him to do, summer was almost coming to an end and you two had decided to spend every single second of it together, much to both of your mothers’ dismay who had long decided to take turns to tire both of you out by the neighbourhood park, nothing too exciting, if it weren’t for your young imaginative minds combined, which turned you into the closest a six year old could get to being a menace.

As you smiled brightly at your friend, you couldn’t help but turn your head towards an almost inaudible whimper coming from the shaded side of the park, finding a kid around your age plopped down by the tree, desperately drying his eyes with the back of his hand, small sobs coming out of his lips as three other kids, which you knew to be a little older than you and quite disrespectful at that, kept laughing at the boy, so really, what else were you supposed to do if not come in to save the day. “Come on Y/N they’ll make fun of us too” Sungho said as he tried to tug you away, only to have you stand your ground firmly

“If they make fun of me, I won’t cry” you crossed your arms stubbornly over your chest

“Y/N let’s just go”

“You go, Sungho” Sungho was always the type of kid that your mother kept reminding you to be more like, always righteous, never picking fights like you were known to do, but you really couldn’t stand watching the mysterious kid crying by himself while no one else did anything in the slightest. So you stood between him and the three kids that were still making fun of him, head high, fists up by your sides in a superhero pose “You shouldn’t make fun of others”

“Why don’t we make fun of both of you then, Y/N?”

“At least I can put my shirt shirt when I’m dressing myself, Areum” the girl looked down for half a second before staring you down, full of rage before huffing and turning around in true mean girl fashion.

You turn back to find a pair of bambi eyes staring at you, sobs silenced, although his chest still showed him trying to fully catch his breath. You extend your hand for him to take it so that he could stand up “I’m Y/N what’s your name?”

“I’m Jungkook” you were quick to grab his arm and pull him to where Sungho had watched the whole scene with Areum, now staring at the way you dragged the slightly shorter boy towards him

“Well Jungkook, this is Sungho and I just decided that all of us three are going to be best friends forever” the small boy smiled at that, bunny teeth showing in the process, eyes sparkly with wonder and pure appreciation, contrasting the look on Sungho’s face.

“Y/N I think you need to have girl friends to have these sleepovers with, Jungkook and I are boys” Sungho says as soon as you pass him the mirror and he is left staring at his reflection with a ton of glitter eyeshadow on his face, you turn to look at Jungkook, who is currently sprawled out playing with his nintendo, a set of pigtails adoring his head along with the hottest pink lipstick you could find

“I don’t mind it” he stuffed his mouth with chips as he continued to play on his console, not sparing any of you a look, although you smiled at him fondly, grateful to have him play along whenever Sungho didn’t feel like it, which seemed to be more and more as all of you grew older.

“Well I’m going to take this off” he said as he ran into the bathroom to wash his face. Good luck trying to get rid of glitter.

You huffed out a sigh at how boring it was getting if Sungho didn’t like to play your games, along with Jungkook being stuck inside his own little world. “This is so boriiiing”

“It was your idea Y/N”

“Yeah but you guys are no fun”

Jungkook pauses his game to turn to look at you “We can watch a movie if you’d like”

If someone were to tell 6 year old you that twelve years later, the kid that used to make fun of you would turn into your best friend, you would have probably laughed in their face, although as years went by, Areum had finally gotten better in terms of personality, up to the point where she had a full on talk with you before you decided to give it a try, even more so as she now took it as her job to protect you in high school, seeing as she was a year older than you.

“Jungkook has changed” the brunette said while taking a seat next to you inside the cozy smoothie shop, crumpling up her receipt inside her bag distractedly as you just stared at her, not knowing what had prompted her to talk about your best friend, Jungkook wasn’t exactly what one would consider popular, especially amongst the higher grades, especially not given the bickering grudge he held against Areum after all those years.

“What do you mean?”

“Just- seems like before summer he was this scrawny little thing, deer eyes, soft smiles” you looked at her intently, Jungkook had gone on vacation with his family for weeks as soon as finals were over, leaving with the promise of hanging out for the few days before school started again, similar to how you were now hanging out with Areum, her having arrived back a few hours before Jungkook “Now- well”

There were a million thoughts running inside your mind, some seemingly more plausible than others, tow hich yopu found yourself asking “Areum, did you fuck Jungkook?”

“I mean- we were both staying at the same hotel Y/N” Areum sipped on heir smoothie as a way to act coy about it, wide eyes turned the other way at the prospect of having said out loud that her latest conquest was none other than little Jungkook, the guy she had always made fun of for one or another reason

“Oh god you slept with Jungkookie” and you really tried to picture her, accepted into college, beautiful Areum, long lean legs, model faced Areum, flirt queen that always seemed to go for older guys Areum, paired up with sweet Jungkookie, sure, your best friend was cute, handsome even, there was no denying it, he was just not- Areum level handsome, Areum liked going out to party, let men shower her in drinks while Jungkook absolutely loved staying home battling Sungho in the newest video game that was around “I-I have no words”

“Y/N- Y/N don’t judge until you’ve tapped it” your friend seemed to space out for a second, as if looking back at her time with Jungkook, dreamily. “The guy got buff”

And sure he did, not only did Jungkook was now full of muscle, he also apparently had renewed his wardrobe, bought a motorcycle and apparently had even grown a few centimeters taller, or at least that much was said by Sungho as you three met up for lunch the day before classes started again, trying to catch up as you did every year when the three of you didn’t get a chance to hang out much.

“So are we getting that newly released game Kook?” Sungho mentioned in what appeared to be the background, your eyes completely fixated on whomever the man sitting in front of you was, definitely not your best friend Jungkook.

“Nah dude, I sold all my consoles and games to buy my bike” your eyes widened at the confession, probably mirroring the uttermost shocked look that Sunho was also sporting. Jeon Jungkook selling his videogames was definitely a sign of the apocalypse. You were about to make a comment before you heard a very familiar voice behind you, making you turn your head towards it.

“Jungkookie, you wanted me to come over?” her eyes had that sparkle in them which you have come to recognise as her being infatuated by someone, even if she didn’t really talked about it openly, you turned towards Jungkook in disbelief

“Yeah, Areum, lose my number”

You consciously close your mouth at the exchange as Areum backed away from the table muttering an ‘oh..okay’ as Jungkook smiled daily at her, your eyes lock in surprise with Sungho’s, both of you silently agreeing that this Jungkook was certainly a new side neither of you could yet guess whether or not you would continue to be able to befriend, although the history between the three of you spoke volumes.

And just like that, enough to get whiplash from it, Jungkook’s lazy uninterested eyes were replaced by the squinty smile you had learned to adore over the years, bunny teeth showing as his laugh resonated in the restaurant “Oh god you guys should have seen your faces!”

Your eyes travelled along the expanse of the space you three were in, looking at Sungho for a clue to pick up about what was happening, coming up empty handed as he spoke first “Dude I almost had a heart attack, I thought you had sold your games!”

“Oh no that I did” Jungkook took a sip out of his drink calmly

You tried not to show how nothing made sense in your mind “And that thing with...Areum?”

He placed his cup down, looking at you with wide eyes humming softly “Yeah that was a thing too, she’s been texting me non stop after we hooked up. I’m just glad I’m back with you guys”

So Jungkook had changed, that much was true, just not as much as he let people believe. Sure enough, the guy was now pure muscle, rode a bike everywhere, and made it his lifeplan to conquer as many girls as his schedule allowed him too; he also made a few other friends outside of your friends' circle, enough for rumours to go around about him being involved in shady business, or him hooking up with somebody’s mum. Either way, if you were to turn a blind eye to his social persona, Jungkook was still your and Sungho’s little Jungkookie, bambi wide eyes that teared up whenever it was movie night and you picked some chick flick, bunny teeth and loud giggles as he played a prank on Sungho, even though you could tell his heart just wasn’t in it as it was before.

“I’m gonna ask Y/N out” Sungho has asked Jungkook to meet him outside of campus on the first weeks of college as all three of you decided to attend together, uninterested on whatever it was that he was about to tell him, but trying to keep up his fractured friendship with the man (and you) he had shown up, even so a little fashionably late to make his point clear.

“And you’re telling me this because..”

“I don’t want to make it awkward, Jeon” Jungkook scoffs before rolling his eyes at Sungho “Don’t think I haven’t noticed you little boy crush on her for years”

“What I think you haven’t noticed is that I don’t do feelings” Jungkook retorts as he approaches him “And although I find Y/N to be quite fuckable if you ask me, I appreciate her enough not to put her in a weird place like you’re about to do, asshole”

Once weeks rolled around, things kept on being as the were after that fateful summer where Jungkook completely reinvented himself, even as semesters came and went, Jungkook grew a bit more separate from both Sungho and yourself, although it became a little harder to discern whether it was because of Jungkook or due to the fact that Sungho and you had started dating during the first semester of college. Sungho had no real answer to give you when asked about it, saying that outside of the scheduled movie night you three kept on sharing, he barely even texted Jungkook on his own.

“I heard your girl is getting married” his friend said as he handed him an opened beer, taking his place back against his bike in the middle of the night after some race they had gone to near the outskirts of Seoul.

Jungkook took a swing out of the bottle, squinting at the questionable choice in alcohol “I don’t have a girl Jihoon”

“Oh? Then what’s Y/N?'' he felt the blood draining from his face, heart heavy, breath hitching inside his throat as soon as your name left his lips. Of fucking course Sungho would try to marry you before you graduated. That bastard.

It was quite funny really, Jungkook knew from the very start, back when all three of you had 6 years old and you had saved him from a set of mean kids in the park, that Sungho was never fond of him, or rather, of the relationship you had developed with him, sure, the two men had bonded over a few shared interests as they grew up, but the only thing that kept them together was you. Sometimes Jungkook guesses it could have been him instead of Sungho, asking you out, sharing nights together, even being about to get married. But those thoughts were only wishful thinking, he had long ago decided that you deserved so much more than what he could give you, what with his eternal fear and inability to give himself up to others. So he had let you go, never thinking about the possibility of Sungho taking a place he wasn't worthy of either.

"Good for her"

It wasn't long after learning that you were engaged, that the invitation arrived to his apartment, just a few days after graduation. It wasn't really a surprise anymore, even back when he first heard the news, it wasn't that surprising, he guessed it was the years of knowing both you and Sungho, learning your patterns, that he had somehow seen it coming. It didn't make it any less hard to wish you weren't about to walk down the aisle to a man that wasn't him though. But he kept repeating to himself to stop being selfish, he had lost his chance, not that he ever had one to begin with, but as long as you were happy, he would be too.

And you really did seem happy, so he was willing to just ignore the way that his chest seemed to constrict every time your eyes locked on his from across the room as the rehearsal dinner, you were sporting a gorgeous emerald dress, the same colour as when you two first met eighteen years back, his mind spinning with impossible scenarios as each minute that passed really just turned out to be a minute closer to watch you walk down the aisle to another man, one that was supposed to be his best friend at that.

“Bride’s or groom’s” A sweet female voice called him as he sipped on his fifth? sixth? champagne flute, finding a woman staring at him with what he has come to recognise as lust.

“Eh.. you could say both”

A glimpse of recognition could be seen in her eyes before she spoke again “You must be Jungkook then, the overseeked bachelor”

“In the flesh” He smirked at her as she took a hold of his hand, guiding him upstairs to where you and your soon to be husband had booked bridesmaids and groomsmen alike for the night. Not that the blonde had anything to do with how utterly horrible he was feeling about the whole wedding situation but perhaps fucking his frustrations out would help just a little.

Jeon Jungkook was never the one to stick around until morning, that much was true, and although he might be known for a varying of unspeakable things, nothing could have prepared him for what he had to witness at ungodly hours.

He picked up the rest of his clothing after half dressing himself, not even sparing a second glance at the woman that was laying on her bed peacefully, careful not to make more sounds than the inherently necessary, his curiosity is peaked as he hears faintly moaning and skin slapping skin coming from the room next door, seeing the door barely open, and against his better judgement he peeks inside only to feel his heart pounding against his chest, blood rushing inside his ears as he can’t seem to look away from the image presented to him. Sungho, your soon to be husband, the one that he used to consider his best friend for years on end, the oh so righteous Sungho, ever morally correct Sungho, bending your other so-called best friend and maid of honour, Areum, over the comforter as he fucked into her. A few hours before he got married to you. After everything that he had put him through, making him believe that it was in your best interest top let you go, that he should have handed you over to him, that he was the best option out of the two of you to build a life with.

Jungkook sees red and doesn’t quite remember anything other than Areum running out of the room as he punches Sungho in the face, receiving some punches back.

“You absolutely disgust me”

The bastard has the guts to laugh at him “You know, Jeon” he goes to inspect his face in the mirror “If you burst Y/N’s bubble, you’ll forever be remembered as the stupid little boy that was jealous enough on her wedding day to ruin her life”

Jungkook clenches his fists by his side before deciding to turn his heels and leave the room, vision still blurry in anger, breathing ragged, a small trickle of blood making its way down from his eyebrow as he almost automatically walked himself to the other side of the hostel where he knew you must have been resting, taking a few too many second to decide to knock on the door.

“Jungkook? What are you- oh god” sleep seems to leave you as soon as your eyes lock on his beat up face, him smiling at you in a futile attempt to have you not worry that much about his well being, but of course you were already searching for a first aid kit as he took a seat on your bed “Jungkookie, what happened?”

And perhaps he didn’t think it through that much, but he couldn’t let you walk yourself into a marriage blinded by the persona Sungho had always made you believe he was. “Y/N” he took your hands in his, stopping you from rubbing any more antiseptic into his cut “You’ll hear,a nd probably have already heard, too much shit about me”

His eyes beg you to stare at him intently, and although the whole scenario had you giggling out of nervousness, it soon died down “Kook, what are you talking about?”

“Y/N- Sungho is not the man he’s made us think he is” your eyes scan his face for any more clues on what he’s saying a syou feel a beeping sound closing in on your ears, overwhelmed by the situation “And he’ll probably say this is me just being a jealous asshole after being in love with you for more than half of my living years but-”

You stare at him in horror as your hands remove themselves from his hold as if he was burning, standing up from where you were seated next to him, feeling your whole world being crushed down a few hours before what was supposed to be the happiest day of your life “No” you take a step back as you hold your chest, feeling hot tears welling up in your eyes “Jungkook please don’t do this shit to me”

“Y/N just- don’t marry Sungho” somehow he had willed his voice to remain calm

Your head shook fervently at him, as if somehow the action would make him retreat his words “Sungho loves me, Jungkook”

His eyes were ice cold at your words “He loves you enough to fuck Areum a few hours before making you his wife”

He really didn’t mean the bite on his words as he said them, this had nothing to do with you and everything to do with that asshole you called finacé, so he could completely understand when through your tears, chest heavy with rage and head spinning you asked “Please leave”

And he did.

Everything seemed like a fever dream. The words that Jungkook had said, the implication that it had. And really, if it weren’t for the fact that Jungkook was gone from the whole ordeal, you could have sworn your life that it was nothing other than a nightmare, Areum was as bubbly as ever, helping you get ready. Sungho’s good morning text still found its way into your inbox. Jungkook had not only accused you fiancé of cheating, but had said he had always been in love with you, no further proof to his words, so you decided to go as planned, yet you found yourself hyper aware of every move Sungho made, especially when they involved Areum.

You stood in your pristine white dress in front of a couple dozens of guests as traditional words were spoken, your mind a thousand miles away as you kept on looking towards the door, hoping that maybe, just maybe, they would open up, Jungkook would show up and stop you from making what could potentially be the worst mistake of your life.

"If anyone objects to the marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace." your eyes trail to the soor, yearning to hear Jungkook’s voice amidst the otherwise silent chapel, but it never came.

“Hey, Y/N come dance with us,” one of your bridesmaids say as the night progresses after dinner, some loud beat taking over the venue at the reception, making everyone stand up to dance, including your now-husband as you find yourself sulking sitting on your designated table.

“I’m fine, you go” you try to flash her the biggest smile you can as she goes, leaving you once again with your thoughts. Thoughts that mainly involved Jungkook, figuring that after all these years, life had managed to finally separate you, heart yearning to have him close to you, the more you became aware of your current life path, the more you realised what a humongous mistake you had made. You had always thought that marrying Sungho would give you a sense of utter happiness, of fulfillment, whether what Jungkook said was true or not, as you watched your husband having the time of his life without you. If he were Jungkook, he would be seated right by your side.

Jeon Jungkook, as deviated as he appeared to be to everyone, as much as he slept around, he had demonstrated to be the most loyal human being by your side up until the last second of your friendship, unlike Sungho, he had always been interested in what you wanted to do, had always let your voice be heard, had helped you through rough times when Sungho was nowhere to be seen, perhaps you had chosen the wrong best friend to fall in love with a few years ago, the wrong man in your life to marry. It had been Jungkook all along. It could have been Jungkook all along.

Your eyes fixate on the way that Sungho whispers something on Areum’s ear and you feel your blood boil, more out of self-pity and annoyance at letting such a man manipulate you rather than jealousy as you stand up to make your way to the bathroom, in hopes of freshening up before coming up with a plan to fix this mistake.

You sigh as you hold yourself up by the sink, looking at yourself in the mirror, pondering just how deep you’ll have to dig to come out of the mess when you hear an all too familiar deep chuckle behind you “So you realised”

You turn your back to the mirror to face Jungkook “That Sungho was an asshole or that I’m in love with you?”

His eyes turn into those deeply surprised deer shape you remember from when he was younger for a split second before they’re filled with something else between lust and deep appreciation as he backs you up further against the sink, a tattooed hand coming up to your chin “Does that mean I get to kiss you with no regrets now?”

“Would you kiss a married woman, Jungkook?” you ask playfully, matching the brattiness in his tone

“Only the ones whose husbands are assholes” and so his lips capture yours in a sweet quick kiss that has you wrapping your arms around his neck, leaning in once again, escalating from a very much due kiss filled with words that are unable to be said, into a fiery pit in the low of your stomach at the prospect of kissing Jungkook while still being in your wedding dress, just a few hours married and kissing another man.

Jungkook’s hands have abandoned their place on your figure in favour of trying to undo the little buttons on the back of your dress, breaking the kiss to complain “God just how many buttons does this dress have?”

Soon enough your dress lays forgotten on the floor, matching lingerie covering your body as Jungkook has most of your body up against the mirror, panties aside in favour of having him fingering you, arms almost failing to keep you upright as he mouths at your skin, moans escaping your lips regularly as he pumps and curls his fingers inside you, lewd noises taking reverbating on the small bathroom’s walls, a faint trail of bass coming in from the party “God you’re so perfect Y/N” he grunted as you heard his zipper coming down before feeling the tip of his cock teasing your entrance, his hand coming up to grip your hair making you face the mirror, makeup completely wrecked, the sight almost unrecognisable to you, a slight burning but pleasurable sensation on your scalp “I bet that bastard Sungho wouldn’t be able to wreck you like this” without further notice entering you from behind, your walls clenching against him as you felt him slowly but firmly making his way in and out of you at a building rapidly pace, a moan slipping past your lips and Jungkook shushing you in exchange as he increases his speed and you bit your lip to forbid any noises from coming out, afraid of being heard even when you knew it would be almost impossible to do so over the loud party noises, this bathroom being so far away from it.

Jungkook had placed your right leg up the sink, hitting an even deeper spot that had you building your orgasm at an incredible speed, throwing your head back in pleasure, feeling him completely inside you as heat pooled in your lower belly.

“K-Kook I’m gonna-ah! I’m gonna cum” a few flicks on your clit with his expert fingers as he helped you keep yourself upright did the trick as Jungkook made sure to somehow thrust even deeper, a loud moan scaping you as he spilled his warm seed inside you, quickly adjusting back his boxers and trousers as one of his fingers collected some cum that was dripping down your thigh to push it back in, letting go of you to hold yourself up against the sink, pulling your panties back in place.

“Think that counts as a wedding gift?” he turns to leave the bathroom, leaving you heaving to haphazardly step inside your dress as you trail behind him, finding him resting against a wall, his bike roaring a few meters away as he smiles your way knowingly as he puts on his helmet, throwing another one your way "So.. all ready to leave that asshole of a husband now or should I wait another 15 years?"

50 but its Obi-Wan tired and stressed going through a messy divorce who mets ray of sunshine Anakin ❤

This is basically the Prologue to the story of how Homeowner Obi-Wan Adopts Two Children and A Husband Without Realizing It

50. Going Through a Divorce (Divorced!Obi-Wan)

Buy a house, they had said. You have a wife. You should have a house, they had said. The market is in your favor right now, they had said. This area is nice. Good for kids if that’s something you’re thinking about. Buy a house.

No one ever told Obi-Wan what to do if your wife divorces you and moves out, but the house is legally in your name and the weight of the mortgage is slowly killing you because while you’re a great English professor, you don’t exactly get paid a commission for how many kids decide to take your class after looking at your chili pepper score on Rate My Professor.

Obi-Wan sits in his study with the windows shut and the door closed. It’s the only room in the house that doesn’t feel like something’s glaringly missing. Every other place held at least a few of Satine’s possessions, and if he leaves the shelter of this one final safe haven, he knows himself well enough to know that he’ll prod at all those little absences the way a tongue ghosts over the pit left by a lost tooth.

But this study has always been his, and it still feels like it now. And while the house is, arguably, also still his and has always been, it feels too big now. Too empty.

He is not enough for the house either, it seems.

Obi-Wan snorts at the thought and pours himself a drink. He’s getting maudlin in his old age. Sentimental. What he should be doing is thinking of the logistics going forward, although he knows few. How To Get Divorced was never something they taught in schools, nor something he had thought to be in his future.

How To Pick Up The Pieces of Your Shattered Heart had been a tough lesson to learn a year ago when his wife--ex-wife now--had broached the topic of separation. Separation, as if that wasn’t simply a long-drawn out end. She hadn’t taken that criticism lightly, nor should she have. Their ensuing fight had only ended when she had gasped wetly through her tears and told him, “See? Who are we anymore? I don’t want to fight anymore, Obi.”

To which Obi-Wan had said, of course, “Don’t call me that.” and Satine had left without another word. Given enough time to reflect upon her argument, he did find the logic in it. They’d married young and then changed in ways that couldn’t click together. Obi-Wan would have been fine with continuing to try to force them to work, but Satine had never been one to hate herself in that way.

The papers had come on a rainy day in October. The love had stayed on, unwelcome and bitter and agonizing in turn, well into April. Now it’s autumn again, and Obi-Wan has a house that’s too big for just him and no wife or partner or lover to fill its gaps.

There’s a loud ping of his phone that brings him out of his thoughts. It’s a message from Quinlan, just a link. Obi-Wan almost doesn’t click it, not in the mood for a funny video or in-depth but frightfully out-of-touch opinion on a recent movie. Then Quinlan texts again. I know you like your blondes fiery is all he says, and now Obi-Wan has to know.

He touches the link and it takes him to a posting on a website dedicated to finding roommates. The text loads slowly, probably because there’s a lot of it.

IN NEED OF ROOMMATE ASAP the title screams. Reflexively, Obi-Wan checks the time-stamp, but this was posted only a day ago. His heart warms at the idea of Quinlan checking this website trying to solve Obi-Wan’s problem of the mortgage for him.

Then he keeps reading.

Hi, I’m Anakin, 26, it reads. Working in tech right now--should make any sort of income required. Recently and unexpectedly kicked out of my place. Parent of two toddlers, but they’re angels (separately)! They are past the point of drawing on walls and they are potty-trained. Would be willing to put down a pet deposit but no pets, just the twins. Being evicted in the next five days so desperately need place. Twins’ mom could take twins while I move out and then move in but she can’t have them longer than a couple of weeks because of her job.

Also full disclosure, I have to move out because I “assaulted” my landlord! He was being a creep about my friend and touched her without her consent. I’m not actually a violent person and will not hit you! Just if you call my landlord for a tenant reference, he won’t be nice. He’ll be very, very biased.

Before twins can move in, I will need to run a background check on you as well just to make sure you’re not a creep (creeps DNI)

Let me know if you’re interested!

(Please give me a chance.)

There’s a couple of pictures at the bottom, just after the man’s phone number and email. One depicts a smiling, attractive man, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans with a young child on each hip. The next is a close-up of the kids in fancy clothing, probably to prove that they’re not messy. The girl is scowling at the camera while the boy is crying though, so the overall effect is ruined. Still, Obi-Wan finds iit endearing. The last picture is Anakin’s mugshot, the man in question looking decidedly which makes Obi-Wan snort. He appreciates the level of honesty and loyalty Anakin’s clearly showing.

But this is a lot.

Obi-Wan hasn’t started to look into the option of finding a roommate to lessen the burden of his mortgage payments. And to jump straight to a man with a violent past and his two small children?

His house would be absolute chaos. He and Satine had always kept an orderly space, one that featured long bouts of quietly enjoying the other’s company from opposite ends of the living room, but there would be no quiet with two children and what he’s positive is a very lively man.

But hadn’t he just been thinking that the house was too silent now? Too empty? It would be--

Well. It wouldn’t feel like his and Satine’s house anymore. It would be unrecognizable.

Somehow he’s jotting down the number before he even realizes what he’s doing. And then he’s putting it into his phone. And then it’s ringing.

“Hello?” A distinctly masculine voice says on the other side. Obi-Wan clears his throat, suddenly unsure of what to say.

“Hi, hello yes. I’m calling about the ad you posted online yesterday?”

“What about it?” Anakin asks slowly, sounding suspicious. Obi-Wan has to fight to roll his eyes. If he hadn’t already committed himself to following through on the worst idea he’s had in years, he’d hang up at the other man’s clear distrust. He wants to berate him that this is not how you sell yourself to potential homeowners, but that isn’t his place.

“My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi,” he says instead. “And I fear I may be your only hope.”

Review

Isekai Meikyuu De Harem O

Or: A Harem in an Alternate World Dungeon

Genre: Fantasy isekai (Basically a hentai)

Summary/plot: The MC wakes up in a fantasy world. Quickly realizing he has an appraisal skill that tells him what things are, he is able to find 2 magic items to help him on his way. He uses the magic sword to defeat some bandits attacking a village. This leads him to a bigger city where he gets money for handing over a thief from the village to a slave trader (as is custom). After seeing a beautiful save there and is also offered her, for a price, he gets the new goal to make enough to get her. From here we see him slowly crawl up the ladder to a more comfortable life and learn more about the world and how it works.

Art Style: It’s OK. I’m not really amazed by it or anything, but it doesn’t look like a cheap manga. The important people have good detail to them, and the environment looks pretty good. Some of the backgrounds do look like assets that were plopped in there, but they are nice ones. There is special care taken to the girls and sex scenes.

Personal thoughts: Alright I’ve been wanting to review this one for a while for the reason of me being mad at it. SO, this manga is called “A Harem in an Alternate World Dungeon”. It’s got “harem” right in the title. That would make you think that the MC would come in, freshly isekaied, swing his dick around for a chapter or 2 and have 5 girls hanging off him. Am I right? Is that what you’d expect from a manga with “harem” right in the title? The main girl first shows up in the 3rd–4th chapters as a “here’s your next goal MC”. The next time she appears is in the 9th chapter when he buys her. That is correct, our MC doesn’t even get his first girl until the 9th chapter. So you may think now the girls will start pouring in right? Nope. The next girl shows up in the last 2 pages of the 37th chapter. And as of the 56th chapter there hasn’t been even an indication of adding any others. I don’t know about you, but when I think harem, I think 3 girls minimum. What we have here is a love triangle at best. This manga is NOT a harem manga. I don’t care if it is listed under the harem genre, that is a lie.

Now that I’m done with my rant, let’s get into what it is about. This is a world building kind of isekai. Most of it is explaining how the world works. We find out more as the MC does. I will say it does seem a bit heavy at times. Like there are nice blocks of text with the MC saying, “ah so this works like this and is connected to that, so if I do this it may lead to me getting that”. I’d prefer it to take it a bit slower or give us the info in easier to read ways. There really shouldn’t be more text than art in a comic. Once he gets Roxanne, the main girl, she takes a role of explaining things to him. Later the second girl, Sherry, takes up that role.

One neat thing is that when they go into dungeons, they armor up in like, a realistic way. No bikini armor or anything. Surprising with what kind of manga this is. The armor is magic and can change size and make itself fit whoever wears it though. The main way they make money is by going though dungeons. There is a whole pot of lore about it and I’m not going to get into it. They kill monsters take the drops and sell them. It feels a lot like watching someone play a video game. He wants to unlock a bunch of things without knowing how to, so he tries a bunch of stuff he thinks may work.

The last part is the perverted stuff. So yeah, they fuck a lot. There is a lot of details put into the kissing as well. Nudity happens here a there too. Pretty typical stuff. Also, something fun, each race has a “racial job” for humans it’s of course sex maniac. Yes the MC gets it, there is no reason he wouldn’t.

 Characters:

Kaga Michio (or “Master” I guess…): The MC, he’s a pretty smart guy. Nothing spectacular or anything, he is just able to figure stuff out. He is generic. He does show basic human kindness to his slaves (god that sounds so bad, “Sure he has slaves, but he’s nice to them so it’s fine”). Honestly, he acts the way you would expect a normal person to act. He was determined enough to buy Roxanne that he killed some people who had bounties on them. So he has conviction at least. I mean he’s killed people before, granted he did think it was a video game at the time.

Allan: The owner of the slave trading place. I never really like it when the slave trader is a good guy who you can trust. It feels like they are trying to say, “see slavery isn’t bad, the guy in charged is nice”. Which I guess that is the thing they are doing, but you know. He is a good businessman and salesperson. He knows what to say and what to do to get peoples trust and get a sale. He is also helpful outside of selling though that may be part of getting people’s trust.

Roxanne: The first slave. My sweet, sweet child. She is such a good trusting person. Or rather dog-person, as that is what she is. Not a full on furry, she only has the ears and tail. There may be something wrong with her too. She attaches to the MC real quick. No reason I can think of other than she may have thought he was hot or something. She met him once, didn’t exchange 2 sentences with him and is all worried about whether or not he’ll buy her. She seems a bit too willing. Also, she is a battle manic. Loves fighting, weapons, and is really good at it. Basically, she is the perfect girlfriend. Now I realize what I wrote here makes it sound like my ideal girl is someone who is both obsessed with me and can kick ass, but what I meant by “perfect girlfriend” is if the average man thought of what the perfect girl would be it would be Roxanne, and the dog person and battle manic things are add-ons.

Sherry: The second slave who is a Dwarf and not an elf like I thought she was going to be. You see they have a picture at the beginning of some chapters of the MC, Roxanne, and Sherry. Sherry has pointy ears, so you’d think she is a short or loli elf, but nope. She wasn’t as quick to warm up to the MC as Roxanne. Her coming around was more realistic. It still didn’t take long though, but not much she could do being a slave and all. She knew getting the D was an inevitability so may as well make the best of it. She is also the smart character. The MC bought her specifically so that he could make her a master smith, which is the dwarf’s racial job. So that’s some plot that happens.

Other info: There are 56 chapters as of 3/30/22. They will probably take a bit to get through. If you only care about the erotic stuff, then you can skip a lot of the world building stuff to get through it faster. I have also heard that there is an anime coming up for it. They are going to disappoint so many people when they say, “come see our harem anime” and they only ever get to 1 girl. Cause if they want to get to Sherry, they will have to bulldoze through so much content and even then, she’ll only show up at the end of the season.

 All in all: Its charm lies in two places, the world building and the erotic stuff. If you like world building stuff and don’t mind some blatant perversion you will probably enjoy this. The world is actually well put together. If you’re in it just for the sex, you may have to skip around a bit or you may get bored. All together it’s fine, not at the top of any list. I’d skip it for something else if I had to choose. But I don’t think it’s bad. Now that you’ve read this and know what you’re getting into, you may not get as frustrated at is as I did wondering when this “harem” manga is going to introduce all the girls.
