{༻~They want you back, but you're taken~༺}

CW: Past arguments mentioned, slight attempts to get the reader to breakup with their new partner, a little bit of begging and kinda angsty! GN reader!

A/n: Sorry for lack of posts! I was having more health issues :/ But! Would anyone like to be apart of a taglist on my posts from here on out? Maybe like 10 people? O-o

(Includes: Lyney, Albedo, Wanderer, Kazuha, and Neuvillette!)

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

𑁍༄Lyney:

Lyneys mouth hung agape, his crowd of eager magic watchers waiting patiently for him to finish the trick he was currently right in the middle of, but magic for once, was the farthest thing from his mind....all he saw right now was you. You walking right by him, maybe not noticing he was there...maybe noticing and choosing not to pay him any attention, but you. "Forgive me everyone, I'll be back in just a moment! The show will go on, I promise!" He shouted to no one in particular as he made his way to you, leaving Lynette sighing at her brother's unprofessionalism.

"It's been awhile ma chérie!" Lyney called to you, he felt so happy seeing you again, to be near the person he'd thought about every single day since he'd broke up with them...leaving him with more regret then he'd ever had. "Oh...hi Lyney. Sorry but I was just on my way to-" He could instantly tell you weren't as happy to see him and he completely understood why, but he'd do anything make it better, he had to fix things.

"Please, just a few moments with you...I want to apologize. To talk..." His voice pleaded with you, his eyes begging you to give him the chance, but you knew full well you couldn't and it was made all the more clear as your partner walked up to you, sliding their hand in yours. "Lyney..." You tried, but he'd went completely pale, his heart shattering at the sight in front of him as he back away slowly, "Sorry...I'll... I'll go. I wish you two all the best..."

𑁍༄Albedo:

The blonde sighed quietly, peeking up from his book so he could see you, sitting at the table on the other side of the cafe...with another person, laughing and smiling with them while he tried to stay calm, not think about the words he'd said that made you leave his side. Should he say hello? Would it be awkward...would you not want to talk to him? He couldn't blame you, after what he'd done...who would?

"Excuse me, Mr. Kriedeprinz? Would you like to pay now?" His eyes shot up at the sudden voice, the nice waitress who had been waiting patiently for him to pay the bill...but had said his name rather loudly, drawing the attention of multiple people...including you. "Oh um of course, apologies." He became utterly flustered, hurrying to get the mora out of his pocket and leave before he could make a fool of himself.

Just as he was about to go out the door, his eyes met yours...and seeing them was almost enough to make him stay just to hear your voice...almost.

𑁍༄Wanderer:

Wandered almost never admitted when he was wrong, but right here...in front of you with his hand gently touching your cheek, he'd say he was wrong letting you go over and over again. He'd call himself a dumbass because he was one, he'd do anything...just to have another chance with you..one more shot because he'd screwed the first one up so bad. "What do they have that I don't...?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper and his face so close to yours, you probably should have shoved him away, but deep in your heart...you still loved him too.

"It's not like that...you broke up with me, you hurt me so bad Wanderer and they were there, they helped me heal the wounds you left me with." Tears welled up in your eyes, it was like breaking up all over again and you weren't sure if you'd be able to handle it. He bit his lip, resting his forehead against yours and trying desperately to not loose control of his emotions, "Please...don't make me beg..."

"I can't. I'm...sorry, but you...you had your chance."

𑁍༄Kazuha:

Kazuha could barely breath, the wind knocked right out of his lungs after seeing you again and time slowing almost to a stop when his eyes met yours, to him it was like seeing a ghost...the ghost of the life he could have had if he didn't make the biggest mistake hes ever made. For a split second he wanted to say hi to you, ask you how you'd been and talk about everything he wished he could have said when you were together...maybe even ask if he could have a second chance.

But all of that flew out the window as he watched your partner wrap their arm around you, your attention drawn away from him as this person placed a kiss on your lips and you smiled up at them...Kazuha had to look away, slight jealousy bubbling in him, before the pain took over...leaving him feeling like he'd been stabbed through the heart. He didn't stay after that, just kept walking even though he'd lost any direction...

𑁍༄Neuvillette:

Neuvillette saw so many people on a daily basis and when it came to the crowds who came for trials...the seats were packed, but it didn't matter in the slightest. He'd spotted you instantly, the sight of you filling him with a comfort he'd been missing for so long...making him have to pause for a second whenever your eyes met his, his words getting jumbled with every beat of his heart. He missed you so much, he wanted to apologize... apologize until every apology he had was said...until you could forgive him...or just let him try one more time.

He'd never mess up again, he'd learned his lesson the second he woke up to find you not there...the second he went to say I love you and was met with no one. As soon as the trail was over, he wasted no time making his way through the hundreds of people, weaving through the seats till he caught sight of you, your back turned to him as you attempted to make your way out of the courthouse. He almost shouted for you, but with so many others around that seemed inappropriate so he settled for gently grabbing your wrist...only to be met with you and another person turning to him, the other person being your date.

"Neuvillette, what...are you doing?"

"...nothing. I thought..you were someone else...I'm sorry, im so sorry."

[less-thinking-please]

First attempt at a hypnosis script for a while

I posted this on reddit and I got some nice comments and messages about it, so I thought I'd share it here too. If there are still hypnosis fans on tumblr who somehow find this, please say hello!

I'm an experienced hypnotist, but I've been away from hypnosis for a long time. I finally felt like trying to write something hypnotic again and the following is what happened when I started typing with no real plan in mind. Not expecting it to be particularly effective because I'm so out of practice but please let me know if do you get anything out of it.

This script is intended only to get you into a trance where you're happy to accept what I tell you and do as I say, and there is a trigger given to make you feel like that again for me in the future. No encouragement to comment or to contact me in any way, but I'll be very grateful for any feedback you want to give. Words like "obey" and "enthralled" are in there but no actual commands other than to respond to the trigger. Please feel free to get in touch if this works for you and you'd like to see how that trigger feels.

And with all of that said, if you'd like to get comfortable, then I just have some questions to start us off.

Have you ever been hypnotized before?

Have you ever been hypnotized by reading words on a screen?

Some people find that they can only fall into trance when they can hear their hypnotist's voice.

When they can lie back, close their eyes, and forget about all other distractions.

So that when they're given the command to sleep...

They're already tricking their body into thinking it's bed time...

And their mind understands that when you're lying down and your eyes are closed...

It must be time to wind down.

To shut down.

And sleep.

There's an obvious logic to being guided down into trance by someone's voice like that.

Whether they're in the room with you, or speaking to you through headphones.

And if you imagine hypnosis to be like the normal kind of sleep...

Then it makes perfect sense that it should work like that.

But hypnosis isn't the same as sleep.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be tempted to say things to you like...

You are feeling veeery sleeeepy...

Because it's a useful metaphor.

And because pop culture has conditioned you to associate phrases like that...

And images like spirals and swinging pocket watches...

With the idea of being hypnotized.

But you know that when you're hypnotized, you're not asleep.

You're not unconscious.

Quite the opposite, really.

When you're hypnotized, you're focused.

So focused on one particular thing...

That you lose sight of everything else for a while.

And so maybe, to the outside world...

You would appear to be sleeping...

Your mind turned off...

Unaware of anything...

But to the hypnotist...

You would be so focused.

So attentive.

So intent on listening...

And learning...

And accepting.

That's why spirals can work so well.

They give you something to focus on.

They draw you in.

Capture your attention.

Distract you from everything else.

And that's why some people don't need to close their eyes to be hypnotized.

If they just have something to focus on so intently...

That everything else fades away.

The same can be true for text on a screen...

Just like this.

You eyes can be wide open...

But so focused on what you're reading...

So captivated by the words...

That it's easy to find that anything else on the screen...

Anything else around you...

Stops being interesting.

And you get so focused on just my words...

That you keep reading...

And keep scrolling...

Without worrying about anything else.

Nothing else distracts you.

Nothing else matters.

And the more you read...

The more focused you get.

The more attentive you get.

The more hypnotized you get.

Are you hypnotized now?

If you're unsure, then here's an easier question...

Are you focused?

Do I have your attention?

Are you ignoring all other distractions?

If so, then maybe you are hypnotized.

And if you just keep reading...

And keep scrolling...

You'll just get more and more focused...

More and more attentive...

More and more hypnotized.

Different methods work for different people, of course.

I think that the beauty of text hypnosis...

Of a script like this...

Is that you can follow along at your own pace.

So if I tell you to take a calming, soothing, deep breath in...

You can anticipate my next request, and in your own time...

Slowly let it out...

There's no rush.

So I want you to breathe deeply in...

And breathe slowly out...

As you continue to read my words.

At whatever pace feels the most relaxing to you.

Reading one line of text with each breath in...

And then the next line with each breath out...

Relaxing yourself at my guidance...

But at your own leisure.

Feeling that connection between my words...

And your relaxation.

Making it so easy to focus more and more...

On me.

And if you're doing as I'm asking...

Breathing and reading and focusing in the way that I want...

And letting everything else fade away...

And feeling veeery sleeeepy...

Then yes, you are hypnotized.

And something else that's nice about text hypnosis...

Is that when the hypnotist says something that you particularly like...

You can read it again...

And reinforce those feelings, those ideas, within your focused and attentive mind.

So for example, when I tell you that...

You are hypnotized...

That might be something that sounds very nice to your hypnotized mind.

And you might like to read that line again, to really let it sink in.

To really accept that...

You are hypnotized.

So I don't need to repeat that again...

Because your mind is doing that all on its own.

Your mind understands that what I say is important.

After all, there's nothing else to focus on at the moment.

Nothing else to think about.

So when I tell you what you are...

How you feel...

Your mind latches onto that...

Accepts it completely...

And keeps reminding you...

As you keep reading...

Scrolling...

Breathing...

Relaxing...

Focusing...

Accepting...

Feeling so attentive...

So captivated...

So hypnotized.

Everything I say to you feeling so important...

So easy to listen to...

And follow...

And accept.

Just making sense.

Just feeling right.

And you never needed to close your eyes.

You never needed to stare into a spiral.

You were hypnotized just by reading my words.

And you must be feeling so helpless to realise that...

Finding my words so irresistible...

So compelling....

Knowing that, now that I have you here...

In this state...

Enthralled by my words...

You would feel anything I told you to feel.

You would do anything I told you to do.

Because there isn't anything else to feel...

Or anything else to do.

Nothing else as important as my words...

And focusing on them...

And following them...

And accepting them...

And obeying them...

Because it would feel so good to do as I tell you.

So good to do what I want.

So I am going to give you one very simple instruction.

Something that I know will be so easy for you...

Because being so hypnotized for me now is proof that you can do it.

The instruction is simply this...

Any time I say to you the word FOCUS...

You'll instantly, easily, automatically return to the exact state you're in now.

Completely focused...

Completely attentive...

Completely hypnotized...

Ready to follow...

Ready to accept...

Ready to obey.

Whether you read the word FOCUS as written by me...

Or hear my voice speak it to you...

Whether you're wide awake or already focused and hypnotized...

You will FOCUS when I tell you to FOCUS.

As long as it's safe for you to be in this state.

As long as it's appropriate.

And as long as it's what you want.

You'll forget about everything else...

And just FOCUS on me.

Instantly captivated...

Instantly compelled...

Instantly hypnotized...

Whenever you FOCUS on me.

My words becoming the most important thing in the world.

Totally irresistible.

Totally enthralling.

And so wonderful, so exciting to accept...

And to obey.

But for now, it's time to wake up.

I'm going to count up, from 1 to 10.

And you'll feel my grip on your attention gradually becoming less intense.

Each number reminding you a little more of the world around you.

Knowing that you can read the numbers at whatever pace feels most comfortable for you.

Knowing that you can go back and read them again if you're not quite back after just one count up.

And knowing that once you're thinking normally again...

You are going to feel so utterly wonderful.

So happy to have been so hypnotized.

Refreshed and rejuvenated.

And ready for anything.

Remembering that one simple instruction you'll obey for me, should you ever want to be given it.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

Awake and alert.

Refreshed and rejuvenated.

Feeling wonderful.

And if this worked for you, thank you for letting me hypnotize you! I hope you enjoyed it :)

Riptide (TF141 x M!Reader)

TW: Swearing, typical COD violence/themes, likely military inaccuracies

| Blog HQ | Riptide Series Masterlist | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter |

Chapter 01

(This was initially chapter 2, until I decided to make a prolouge)

Heart hammering in your chest and ears, you sat helplessly as the video played. Multiple hostages, but you were honed in on one.

The boy who was crying and screaming for his daddy to save him.

Screaming for you to save him.

Forcing yourself to keep the tears that threatened to spill at bay, you lost yourself in the memory of the last time you saw your boy.

The day you left for this deployment.

--

"Do you really have to go?" Your son whined into your shirt, pressing his small face against the warm fabric. Taking in the comfort it provided as his tears freely fell.

You loved your job, your teammates, and above all else making the world a better place for your mini monster. The smallest and only love of your life.

Holding back tears yourself, you rubbed his small back. Keeping him held close your body as you started the goodbye process.

The part of the job you despised.

"I know bug, but I'll be back before you know it" you whispered, silently cursing your voice for breaking. "You promise to have some drawings and stories at the ready for when I come home?" A small nod, face still pressed into your abdomen.

"Yes daddy." He only called you this when he was sick or you were facing another deployment. "We can put them on the fridge when you get home?" You saw your own eyes staring up at you, filled with excitement that was coated by tears.

"Of course! Pinky promise" you felt his small finger slot into yours, as his sobs slowly became hiccups, then small giggles as he planned his stay with Aunt Kate and Aunt Nat.

The only person related to your employment who knew of this perfect little human being. The only person who knows just how much is at stake everytime your boots hit the ground.

"They said I can bake next time I'm over. Do you think I'll be allowed to?" You smiled widely, listening to your sons hopeful plans for the next month or so while you were away.

--

"Thank you again, both of you" this was about the 15th time you've thanked the duo today for taking in your son.

"Stop thanking us, you two are family. We're happy to have him" Nat gave you a smile, watching as the little boy followed Kate into their shared home.

You had known Kate for most of your military career, you met Nat shortly after. The two becoming an irreplaceable piece of your life, being present for almost all the major events. The latest being the birth of your son, and your recruitment into Task Force 141. You always said Kate's connections helped you along in this aspect; she argued that your work spoke for itself.

"Have you thought about telling John? I'm sure he would love to meet his adoptive grandson." Nat asked, pulling you from your thoughts. It was an innocent question. To anyone on the outside looking in on your situation; it would make perfect sense to tell your team. For yourself and Kate, the reasons against mentioning him were glaringly obvious.

The more people know about him, the more likely he'll be used against me.

The walls have ears, anyone could overhear that information.

Heart stays at home, mind stays at work. No overlap.

"Maybe one day" you shrugged, giving her a small smile. "Too risky right now". She gave you a knowing look, likely the same look her wife recieved.

It will always be too risky. Live your life while you can.

You couldn't deny that it did hurt, keeping the best part of your life a secret from the family you found within your team. The guys would love their "adoptive nephew/grandson", almost as much as he would love to meet the men he hears countless stories about.

"So you're saying Uncle Gaz hung upside down like spiderman? From a helicopter?! He's so cool!!"

"Do you think Uncle Ghost would help me make a cool mask for Halloween? I want to be scary while trick or treating this year"

"Grandpa Price and Aunt Kate are best friends. Aunt Nat told me so"

"Why can't Uncle Soap help clean my room? He's good at cleaning, I'm not" You weren't entirely sure where he got this tidbit of information from. You just hoped it was based off the concept and not the real story behind the codename.

As much as it hurt to know your son may never meet the men he views as heroes; his safety comes first. Above all else.

"There will come a time when it feels right, and you're ready. Whenever that time is you know the guys will be in love with him" Kate chuckled from behind you.

--

"Hey man, you good?" You heard Gaz whisper from beside you. Noticing your obvious change in demeanor.

The video had finished, and now one of your superiors explained that there was no plan for extraction at this time -- not enough intel to make such a risky play against the enemy.

"I'm fine. Thanks for checking in" you deadpanned, brain working to formulate your own plan to save your son and the other hostages.

Working so hard in fact, that you missed the concerned looks shared between your team. As Kate pulled Price aside.

"There's a high value individual amongst the hostages. I'm not saying to break the rules, but if there's any your team can bend to get this ball rolling" she whispered, fingers running through her hair.

He was at daycare, Nat drops him off every Tuesday through Friday when she's working. She's done this for the past 2 years. He's always been safe so far. Why was this time different?

"High value individual and a bloody kid! Poor thing can't be older than 5" Price growled, furious at the fact that children were now getting involved in an adult problem.

4 actually. He's only 4

Kate thought, glancing over at you. Still staring straight ahead, with the light drained from your eyes. Now replaced with fury and pain.

Chapter 7

Villains

I looked around the room and noticed two people I'd barely spoken to.

The man wearing a long coat, in particular, did not even try to hide his sullen atmosphere, giving him a 'bad guy' look.

Unapproachable, to be honest.

When our eyes meet, he contorts his face in disapproval.

Best man: "Tch....disgusting."

(Eh...)

Suddenly, I got upset by the intense dislike directed at me.

Victor: "Now now, you must be polite to others, Jude."

Jude: "I refuse. What are you thinking, wielding the power of her Majesty and capturing such an ordinary person?"

(Ordinary person...)

(...Oh, maybe now, were you defending me?)

He seemed to draw a line even from the members of the Crown and seemed cold but perhaps he is more conscientious than one might think.

Kate: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jude."

When I greeted him with a slight hope, his eyes narrowed.

Jude: "Do you think I feel sorry for you because you were forcefully brought here and were trying to defend you?"

Kate: "Hm?"

His expression changed when my eyes widened involuntarily at the sweet whisper that exceeded my expectation.

Jude: "Of course, I'm joking. Don't expect anything from me."

(Nn...!?)

Jude: "Well, I wish you the best of luck. Though I'm afraid you won't last a month before you run away and get yourself killed."

After a few harsh words and a cruel smile, Mr. Jude left the room.

(I knew he was a cold person...and very habitual at that)

(And that accent, is he an immigrant from somewhere...?)

Tall young man: "He is like that to everyone. Don't mind him."

Kate: "O-Oh...!"

Before I knew it, a tall young man was standing next to me.

(I didn't notice him standing next to me at all...!)

(And this is the same man who proposed to 'Kill me')

Ellis: "I'm Ellis."

He had a calm and gentle voice and just by being around him, it is as if my body temperature is quickly dropping.

It made me feel uneasy, as if something was peeking a me through the gaping darkness.

Kate: "Nice to meet you too, Ellis...."

Ellis: "Mm...same here. Me and Jude often go out on outside business together."

Ellis: "And while I'm here, I'll make you happy as much as possible."

(Make me happy....?)

I was taken aback by a line that sounded like a proposal from the same person, who offered to kill me a few moments ago.

I stare back at him, but his expression remains as blank as before.

(Is it normal to say things like this these days....?)

Kate: ".....Thank you. What kind of business do you do....?"

Ellis: "A trading company. Jude is the president and I'm his assistant."

(That man is a president of a company....)

Victor: "Okay, so now you know everyone's names, right? But some of them didn't reveal their curses."

Victor: "No worries. You will learn soon as you start working as the Fairy Tale Master."

Clapping his hands, Sir Victor smiles happily.

Victor: "How about this...before I show you around the castle, how about I show you a welcome magic trick?"

Liam: "Wow! Clap clap clap~"

Roger: "Another waste of precious time."

Harrison: "...This is stupid. I'd rather take a shower."

Alphonse: "Well, isn't it nice to watch the perversity of a freak who takes pleasure in being exposed?"

Victor: "I need assistance. Anyone wants to help me? El?"

Elbert: "..........No..........."

Victor: "Hmm, I wonder why your sad profile is so alluring. Then how about Ellis?"

Ellis: "If it makes her happy, then yes."

Victor: "Thank you for your dedication. Now go lie down on the table over there...."

(Out of nowhere, the magic show started....)

They are people who took a person's life today and now they are all laughing merrily in front of me.

Even their laughter seemed to inspire fear as I recalled their blazing eyes at the scene of the murder.

William: "Are you scared?"

Kate: "....! Master William."

Chapter 8 - No Going Back

[finedinerofmoths]

Actually hold on I can't sleep so let me tell you what I think about Kevin, the smiling god, Strexcorp, and how it all ties together.

(rant incoming)

So! The podcast of WTNV contradicts itself sometimes as to who founded the congregation of the smiling god, and I find it interesting! (I'll try to to source my findings but I'm kinda trash at that so sorry in advance.)

First things first, it was before strex for sure. This is confirmed by the episode with past Kevin and I think a priest of the congregation actually? He talks about smiling, uses friendly language, and overall seems like a happy guy pre-strex in a somewhat similar fashion to during-strex Kevin. Personally I love the contrast, but that's not the point whoops. And after his disconnect with strex, there are still many! people that worship the smiling god.

Here's what I think, and take it with a grain of salt because I hadn't read any of the books or seen the live shows (wiki fandom is my best friend on this), but it seems like the corruption of a religion to further a social/political goal on strex's part.

I refuse to get too political on this but my thoughts on this was the OG religion was positive and harmless, centered around a more spiritual belief of goodwill, optimism, and respecting life (maybe the energy of every living thing via blood and bones and the beauty of just... Life and living thing? Only to turn into a blood and bone fixation? Hm.) Smiling has been proven to help your brain make happy chemicals, and laughing is literally contagious! I read a post that while science is Night Vale's religion, religion is Desert Bluff's science, and I agree. It makes sense that a guy like pre-strex Kevin (as little as I know him) would understand and appreciate these values. Hell, I even think cutting a gaslow smile into yourself could've been an original thing, some religions are like that man, especially not surprising in WTNV.

Strex is obviously sadistic, faux-friendly, manipulative and gaslighting, etc etc etc. It wouldn't be the first time a company or group would use and corrupt a popular religion to seize control, and brainwashing is how cults work! That mixed with torture and meds, no wonder strex employees were so loyal. And they most likely used his own religion (albeit an essentially bastardized version) to condition him. By telling him pain is good (yikes) and "crushing the weak" to paraphrase Kevin himself is all part of this religion HE FOUNDED, they could've easily twisted their own virtues into his. Despite being a prophet, I don't think Kevin has had contact with it for a while now.

However, the smiling god is obviously malevolent, I am not sure about that bit. It either drive him just a bit mad upon first meeting it (valid tbh), it killed him but didn't?? because what is logic in night vale honestly, or somehow tricked him into believing it was a more benevolent presence. Or, maybe he worshipped it because why not, Cecil was totally ready to adhere to the demands of the glow cloud, the distant prince, all of them due to a healthy dose of terror and cosmic fear. Kevin might've gotten luck of the draw.

A thing I don't know yet that's driving me crazy is Kevin met the smiling god via oak door the first time, and it makes me wonder if the desert otherworld is it's domain or something?? And dbt is there now, just thinkin' thoughts about that.

He's shown to be a bit controlling, opinionated and stubborn even before strex (only heartless people don't like cats, Cecil!) and I think strex amplified these traits to terribly negative proportions. As well as using his own trauma, maybe? He compares his father to a thing always watching (in the walls, I think?), the sun to an overbearing father, let's not even mention the burning hot caramel situation. If his father was strict and abusive, it might be easier to say "hey, wasn't that actually a good thing? All that pain, what a great dad!" And turn his brain into a functional positive feedback loop.

Sorry for the whole essay, ack, but I've been thinking about this way too much lately. To summarize, smiling god came first via Kevin, Strex ruined everything as per usual, and religion and science and this podcast are soooo flipping interesting!!!! Okay thanks for coming to my Ted talk, Mothy out

<3 <3 <3

right, third time's the charm- You are someone I am very glad to have 'met' in whatever way the internet lets us.

Not because you're the first person I've ever exchanged drawings with like they were notes passed along on a rainy day, making silly little stories out of woodpeckers and lego toadstoods and trick or treat wishes- Not because I have those drawings printed out, woodpecker and otter hanging on my wall, the halloween ones added to my old lebkuchen box of decorations to be tacked up next year with all the rest- Not because the memory of looking at your art had me picking up pen and paper with a lightness that hasn't been there since I was a kid-

I just love seeing you around on here.

Blocks of tags with rambles- little stories and asides to soak up like a sponge or a plant, reminding me of this or that thought I've had myself- your passion for things, the breath of relief I let out reading something you wrote that says something I can't trust myself with.

The rhythm of your thoughts makes mine very happy, is what I mean. And that you share them- tossing small paper planes of your life out into the world- honest silliness, maybe? It takes bravery and kindness to do it, I think. Even when something upsets you or makes you sad, I'm grateful to see it- these things you care about enough to be hurt by, and to talk about.

From you, I won't argue about how good of a person I am. I'm smiling at the thought that you would think that of me, and I'll makes myself send this little ask to try to tell you back-

thank you for being you.

If tumblr crashes tomorrow and I never hear about you again, I'll always be grateful it lasted this long. I'll remember the rat stuck in a marble, with a skull for it's emblem, hoping you got to do some pottery, snuggled your cat, and had a little hot chocolate, as a treat~

I- I'm at a loss for words...

And crying. Oh words collect yourself into a proper order-

People have said kind things about me before, and it's always brought me joy- but nothing like this. You've cut right into my soul, found things I didn't even know would get to me like this if I heard them.

I want to comment more but re-reading what you said is almost painful, because I was not prepared to take in such words today, or ever. It hurts in the same way as thinking about the beauty in life for too long. I don't know if you understand what I mean- but strong joy, getting overwhelmed with feelings that are good

It's like my little body can't handle it, experiencing things it was not made for. This feeling is bleeding out of me, and I can't even name it. It's not joy. It's... Something better. The knowledge that someone I care for deeply could be made happier thanks to me, my words, my ramblings, my silliness, my art, even the serious and vulnerable moments. Everything. It's like you saw my entire self and said yeah... there's nothing I'd leave out. Oh gosh I'm crying again.

I didn't know you did actually print those drawings out. I've been wondering. I'm so very glad. Bringing you some joy with them is all I wanted. And that someone could appreciate my art this much- especially you. It's like something out of a dream. I didn't know life had such luck in store for me. That I could make art come more easily to someone else again. And you know I love your art. Every time you post something I scramble to get that across, after all. Clunky and anything but concise.

Often I fear that I may be doing too much, coming on too strong, saying so much where others would keep it short. But I've had my years of silence born of paranoia, and I got sick of it. So sick. The reason I started blogging is exactly that, a form of self imposed exposure therapy, I suppose. Every time I'd be afraid to share something, I reminded myself- that's exactly why you should do it. Even if your heart is beating so fast it makes you lightheaded. Which happens rarely now, because this worked, somehow.

And I find myself thinking of a different string of time- where I didn't. Where I let the fear win. Where I never met you and some other lovely people, where all these exchanges we've had, the art and the words and photos of little rocks and tote bags and comics of them running away- never happened. These things that fuel me even when things seem dim. You light something up in me that was previously difficult to cling to- an occasional burst of this spark. Now it is like a little star that has snuggled its way deeply into my heart, refusing to leave.

The rhythm of your thoughts make mine very happy too. I never feel like I have to adjust my thinking with you, because I know you'll understand. Your mind is just as wonderfully strange. I know no one else who creates hand snails and runaway totebags and the most perfect crest imaginable. Making art for you is so fun, because I feel like whatever I choose to depict, you'll get it.

What I want most in life is to be a good person. To bring people joy. Knowing I succeeded is more than I could ever hope for. Am I making sense? Why are you so easy to let into my heart? Why does letting you influence my creations, my way of thinking, my way of loving the world feel so right?

You bring out the best in me.

And that you think sharing what I do takes bravery- well I suppose you're right. I never thought anyone would realise. Would understand. But that it takes kindness? I never thought of it that way. I didn't think anyone would look at what I say and think, "how kind of you, that you chose to share this". I never thought that would be possible. I've had people tell me how happy my tags made them, a few times. That's what fueled me. I thought, if some have said it, then more must have thought it. And I want to keep spreading that joy. What I'm trying to say is you've reassured me in things I didn't dare hope for.

And that even my occasional admission of pain could be seen as good. That you would see me as good.

You're the reason you know. The reason I talk so much on here. I didn't use to do that. I think about the moment that made me follow you, I remember it clearly. I think about all that led to knowing you at all.

Thank you for sharing. I will come back to this, whenever I need a reminder that, well. That I did something right.

I'm glad you won't argue what I said. You couldn't change my mind anyways, on you being a good person. I am so very grateful to have you in my life. I find it hard to tell what people think of me. Thank you for the reassurance, your own bravery, and your beautiful words. They're like poetry.

If Tumblr crashed tomorrow, and I never heard of you again, I would be heartbroken. Truly and fully. But I would be grateful, as I already am. For the time you were a part of my life.

But this shall not happen. We haven't reblogged those snails yet, as we promised, and even after that. I don't want to imagine.

I'll do pottery some day. I'm snuggling my cat as I type, and I'll make myself a hot chocolate, in my dancing skeleton mug. And every day, I'll keep being reminded of you, and how you're everywhere now. In every little thing I've shared, that you got excited about. You're a part of that clay hand now, my spooky dishware, my lego frog, my tote bags, my rocks, my memories. I take a moment to take in nature and I'm reminded of your description of the light falling through your window, the spot you left just to appreciate it. I see a sword, a snail, a drawing of a werewolf, and you're always there.

When you let people take up your time, you let them take permanent residence in your heart. And with you, I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for being here, for being you, and for bringing a peace to my soul I didn't know it needed.

Thank you.

HI LIS !! There's just *something* with the way you organize and do your themes that looks soooo pleasant to visually look at. Not too much and not too less: just right ! ♪

Mhm, this is not hate in any way, shape, or form but I do think the same as well! There is something off about the icon,,,, perhaps the way it's illustrated? That's my guess on it, but you know there's this Trick or Treat card as an alternative, if it's any better !! Still bat motif ^_^

OMG a lil sun... Wow,, heart eyes,, thank you,,, ACTUALLY that is what i think of you. You're very warm and welcoming, it's like your space is a safe haven, no terrors on sight. Just 2wink. I even think of you like yuta in my head while i'm trying to type up messages (admittedly am a person that associates people with their pfps),,,

It's like "Yoohoo!! You have discovered a 2wink secret hideout, would you try to enter it?? There's silly stuff and a nice owner!! " You're not exactly someone that produces some kind of content on your main but there is something!! Rambles aren't frequent, but I love your blog in a way that it draws me to it. To sit down in the little cafe it has and stay. I do not know how to word it properly, but despite the similarities on how main blogs operates, a force of gravity is tugging me here. I hope you get what I mean?? Hopefully!! :')

ALSO Now that I think about it, there's a possibility you could have given me the butterfly emoji if not for me exempting the insects (because they're definitely one of the prettiest emojis to you,, maybe? Apologies if I have mistaken !!) Just so happens they're creatures am afraid of ><

Thank you, as always. <3 Remember that you're special to lots of people if ever you're feeling down !! Best wishes~ My brain wants to go philosophical and say that "Life is Beautiful, but Living it is Not" but I'll wrap things up here for now<3 (actually i am insane i will go send a second ask maybeee)

— 🌻.

+ another ask;

SO. Hi again <3 second ask, as promised. Entirely unsure what to write the moment i tried typing </3

I forgot to tell you that I wish you good luck on your second theme !! <3 Me too, idk how to put a catrin on Mika's face since it's pretty much detailed (<— person who suggested the idea but doesn't know how to execute it) STILL if it's difficult for you, there's a lot of halloween theme options, just in case !!

If it's not too intrusive (?) or maybe privy, please tell me about your day !! good things or bad things, any is fine ! Really. If you want to ramble about it, or get something off for a short while. Though you can choose not to, I understand <3

(Even if it is not about your day, I don't mind you talking about something else ! I just wanted to be able to say something in my future messages !! If that's okay, you know ♪ and feel free to ask things !!)

Some things to share from my side : i am terribly scared of the next featured scout announcement especially the next Event,, rei did not come home and gambling my poor 1k dias might not be the best option !! Love is not real,, I feel your mirage yuta pain so much. Cries. Love does wonderful things like losing dias without having pulled your fave! <///3 It's funny though, he hates me (pretends to not cry).

See you in a bit ! ~

— 🌻.

I decided to reply to both of them in the same ask www I hope you don't mind. BUT HI HII, I HOPE YOU'RE DOING GREAT !!

Please, my themes are just.. themes. there's not a lot going on around (and I take a lot of inspiration out of my friends' themes. have you seen qian's or soren's? uuuu I fall to my knees when I enter to their blogs). And it's ok !! you don't have to feel bad or anything for the criticism, I love scaredy bat Yuu with all my soul but I may try the trick or treat one to see if it's any better 👀

AND,, WAHH. I'm not a sun at all, I actually always considered myself a bit dark. If anything, I'm a moon,, my name kinda comes from the moon so cough lis lore but it makes me really happy that you see me that way !! My blog is currently a 2wink space because I've been very obsessed with them lately...

Honestly it wasn't like that before? Kureibee used to be above them before. Valkyrie too at some point. I always loved 2wink but seeing how they slowly became my top 1 is like "woaH how did this happen? when did they arrive here?" Sometimes I want to believe they chose me (as explained in my 2winkversary ramble (yes I'm cringe))

And ! yeah I never intended to produce anything on my main. Main is just that y'know? I've had this account since 2018 and I've gone through s lot of phases and fandoms, but I'm really comfortable with the community I'm into right now !! I miss a lot of people that were active in enstars fandom aprox a year ago, though... but I hope they're ok.

YYESS, I would've loved to give you a butterfly honestly, but I understand your reasons ! I am very scared of bugs too, though with the years I've been controlling that fear little by little; now I actually love a lot of them ! I learned to appreciate the harmless (← important clarification) little spiders, moths, butterflies, BEES. specially bees. the other day I saw a dragonfly in my school and oh my god they're HUGE I thought they were small,, but it was so pretty ! I'm still scared of, y'know, the horrors. Venomous spiders, wasps, roaches,,, shakes. Also crickets are harmless but they're so horrible oh my god I don't like them (and obviously the list goes on but I believe you get the idea). Sunflower is still fitting though!! Or at least I think so, I really hope you're comfortable with my decision.

Thank you for your good wishes ;; you're really caring and cool, I wish you the best too ! And it's ok, I'm a really philosophical person too. I used to study philosophy when I studied psychology too.. there's a lot going on there.

ー・ー・ー　♡　ー・ー・ー

NOW to the second ask !

Thank you, honestly idk either, I may mix it with other things? It's been a long time since I had a theme of another franchise other than enstars omg.. I think the last one was. at the beginning of the year. I would like to design catrinas based on different characters though 👀 the face paint can vary a looot so I'd like to have a bit of fun with it. (honestly sad that people associate the celebration with Coco thanks to Disney 💧 I mean the movie was cool honestly but. you can't search for culture accuracy in a fantasy movie for kids and I think foreigners don't understand that sometimes 0(-( the best representation we've gotten comes from Monster High I believe. I treasure Skelita with my entire SOUL she was one of my faves when I was little).

You're really kind really wahh. I don't have much to talk about, my life is like a. spiral that goes down. constantly.. I don't want to sadden you or anything, but at least I'm ok !! I have a ton of homework and it's like 💥 but at least I like my classes ! I'm making a painting inspired on Undertale and my next engraving will be Omori themed (and I also want to make an artiswitch one because I lack creativity rn 0(-( ). I have to decide what to make for my drawing final project though. It can be anything, that's what my teacher said, but I want something. something good, something pretty.

Please feel free to come by anytime though!! you're s beloved anon and I'll always welcome you here <3 don't worry about the topic, it can be anything you like.

AND OOOH, anon lore, so you're a ReiP I see? 👀 No because I can't believe Yuta didn't come in 100 pulls, we're over. Now I'm a proud HinataP (Hina loves me for some reason. at least I have his two event scouts.. his FS didn't treat me kindly though). I HOPE YOU GET YOUR REI. grabbing him by the ears and throwing him violently to your account. He will love you. I will make sure he does.

Also as a fun fact, I have this KanataP friend and he pulled trying to get the Kanata 4* and GUESS WHAT. two copies of Rei FS2 in *INDIVIDUAL PULLS* but not s single Kanata. (He also pulled Natsume FS and Yuta FS in the anniv free pulls. Two of my faves and specifically the cards I don't own of them. I blocked him that day, I was so mad with his luck fr).

I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY !! Or had,, I don't know your timezone, it's night here though.

[skitskatdacat63]

I CALLED IT?!!??! Anyways happy 1 year anniversary Vettonso and a thank you for gracing us with your artwork. I love the way we see both sides of Fernando, the stoic and the cheeky. Seb’s blush at the hint of physical contact is sending meee. The outfits are so intricate (I’m a sucker for matching designs). Also pussy facing the world vs cock shame I’m giggling at this. The background also needs to be highlighted I love the colouring. Is it supposed to be RB themed on purpose since Fernando is in Seb’s territory? If so then bravo.

All in all, you’ve outdone yourself with this and I hope you’re doing well 🫶🫶

— Penalanon

YEP YOU DID!!! I got your ask and was like "wtf, how did they know!? I was trying to keep this a secret???" so it was very funny to write my response, and straight up talk about the things I was actively drawing. But no one was any the wiser....Anyways, I think I'll make this the lore post for today since I'm gonna talk a lot about the choices I made, hope you don't mind! Thank you for the compliments <3 I'm so happy to hear you liked it considering it was such a labor of love for me, and something I really put a lot of thought into. So I'm glad it makes sense to other people!!

misc lore drop day 43/?

I'm very happy I decided to draw two. I guess I felt it was a bit mean to only have Seb happy, as per usual. But then I wrote a lot about flirting and affection in the meantime, and ended up developing the second part! It's good to know Fernando can catch Seb off guard too, and that he is not entirely upset. It's so cute to see him clearly feel so smug at having the upper hand for once. Hand, get it? It really gratifies him when he learns how easy it is to catch Seb off guard. Fernando is sitting there all gloomy, and then he remembers that one simple trick to absolutely murder Seb's concentration in an instant. You absolutely know that Seb is so red, that he's also having to literally fan himself because he feels physically hot. Fernando is being affectionate yeah, but he's also definitely doing that evil thing where he's not only squeezing Seb's hand super hard, but also painfully grinding his knuckles together. It's okay though, Seb's swooning too hard to even notice the pain.

Okay, but I'm literally so bad at actually coming up with patterns, so I just use pre-made brushes LOL. But I do think the sparkles fit them pretty well, very cute. I was originally was gonna have them have different patterns. But them having clearly matching outfits is sooooo cute, really solidifies that they're a married couple now, a combined unit. But the little differences are super super important to me as well, the little notes of individuality!! The way they sit is super important to me, they're both chosing to sit in very specific ways, and it says a lot about them how they sit. Maybe another royal couple would try and sit the same, but not them. Even if they're matching, they still are clearly their own people. The jewelery is very fun too because they are both matching but also clarifiying their uniqueness. They're wearing wedding rings, BUT their necklaces! Very much: we are our own people with our own separate thrones, and kingdoms, thank you very much.

The colors of the background and seat they're on were mostly last minute color picks, but now that you say it...The fact that they're red/blue/gold is very Red Bull, you're correct!! I like those little reminders that they are clearly in Seb's territory. Though, do note, they share the color gold, because they are both golden boys!! But yeah, to many people there, Fernando is just a pawn in a greater political game of taking over the entire continent. Though, he makes the most of it, by doing things like wearing his own symbols/colors and wearing that mourning veil(even if he's annoyed he can't wear a full crown.) I think he eventually comes to realize his problem is less with Seb, but more with the political game as a whole. Though I hope he never learns that Seb originally pushed for marriage specifically because it would be more of a domination, oops. Don't worry, by the time they get married, it's more emotionally motivated for Seb.

[rengokugutspill]

Weird ! Apparently the omake kuji items posted for USA yesterday but I never received any notification about it ? It's even weirder because I check all the associated Twitters around a set time that usually updates don't post after the time I check, so I'm able to get all the information that day. I was surprised that I had seen it was posted as launched yesterday though I hadn't personally seen it myself nor received the email about it, but I did see all the information about Tokito. I guess it doesn't matter.

I'm also very thrilled to finally get a date for the comiket items. Especially because I was sitting on money where I kind of wanted to buy something else but was waiting because the comiket takes priority for me.

I was so excited about the kuji though, I'd immediately pursued that. Which I had about two twenty to spend, but obviously amount of that had to go towards comiket. & I should be fine, but since both avenues are more expensive, it's looking like I'm going to have to break up purchases & likely do the beach shack items later in the month I think ? But idk, maybe not. It depends what the mark up is because realistically I want the sticker set & probably the memo set, but I was also thinking about trying to pull from the blind bags for the hashira in shadow because I was going to buy Rengoku's resale previously, but it like never posted & when it did post it was stuck at thirty, which like you see with the beach shack one, I don't really want to spend thirty dollars on an acrylic stand if I don't have to.

So I don't know. I discovered the kuji is a separate entity from the actual global store, which like, I'm sure they have their reasons but it is a bit frustrating because I would have liked to combine shipping but I also see why you can't do that either.

I'm a bit nervous because they had a disclaimer which basically seemed to say the rarer items are made in lower quantities, so once they sell out, even if people keep pulling them, additional rare items don't get made & won't complete. Though obviously I made my pulls within the first two days, I don't think I'll get blocked the s tier prize, it's definitely a nervous sentiment. Though maybe they say it to try to trick you to buy more pulls ? Or to not spend four hundred dollars drawing kuji ? lol

So I was going for at least the acrylic stand. I wanted the s tier prize of course, but I would be happy with the acrylic stand anyway. I also wanted the placemat & find the Rengoku bromides to be agreeable. I wouldn't quite be mad to pull the dishware, but I feel pretty indifferent to it. Like, I'm not going to complain about a Rengoku bowl but I also felt the cup design wasn't too extraordinary.

& this is my first time doing kuji, but it seems like you get some kinda amount off to do larger pulls than singles so I just went straight for ten & I felt a part of me die to pull four Mitsuri pins in rapid succession. I felt like I was going to throw up but not for joy, instead a genuine fear that I spent fifty dollars on a bunch of Mitsuri pins.

Although I understand that yeah word, it's a lottery, boy those repeats fucking suck. I don't get that mad to repeat Rengokus & pulling Mitsuris isn't bad either but when it's Mitsuri, Mitsuri, Mitsuri, & all the same item; I thought I was having a nightmare. Which even I feel like spending fifty dollars & only pulling bromides & pins must kind of suck on it's own, but especially moreso when half your pulls are all the same thing. Ten pulls & it's eight Senjuro pins & two Senjuro bromides. I might kill myself if something like that were to happen to me lol

Which I did pull three of the base acrylic stand so I was like it's not horrible but I was really distraught that I didn't pull either of the two items I was trying for. I ponder for moments about the viability of running again & how many pulls can I run without fucking myself on the comiket order. I ended up doing an additional three like, well if I fail, I'm just going to have to come back next week, but thankfully I did actually get the s tier prize immediately ! Though I've still yet to get the placemat or any of the dishware. Which like I said, the dishware isn't a big deal to me, though I did think it would be a little interesting. I think the dishware is better than keep pulling Mitsuri pins lol I'll still have to come back to try to pull the placemat.

I wrote the previous section the day after the kuji posted. Today I just so happened to be up around the time the comiket items would post, & right before they went live for global, I'd actually seen them list on Japanese Mercari. I was surprised because it looks like people were buying them specifically for the acrylic stand & selling everything else ? So although there were people selling the full sets for just short of three hundred, I'd seen the tapestry alone for as low as sixty, which I tried to buy but of course someone beat me to it.

It got a pretty even price of between seventy to a hundred, which I don't really think is that bad, so I wasn't worried about it. I debated on the viability of waiting around & just getting through Japanese Mercari, but after sitting around for a while & refreshing, I never saw the acrylic stand list, yet I saw waves of the tapestry. & I was surprised because of the price, it genuinely made it seem like people weren't too interested in it ??

What really upset me though was I been having my eye on the Universal Studios Japan ticket case because idk what it really is ? I've seen tons of pictures of the front but only one of the back & absolutely zero of what it actually is. I want it to be a card holder I could use as a wallet, but I haven't bought one yet because I just have no idea what it is. I seen one set post of like five or six for just two dollars more than the Rengoku one & I immediately went to buy it & someone bought it out from under me. This one really got me so upset that I felt like I was going to cry. I was really excited to resell the other characters because I really like the idea of finding uncommon, unique & harder to find items to sell in USA. I still see the Rengoku go up on & off, but I'm definitely keeping my eye out for the bigger merchandise lots that cost the same as a single Rengoku.

But I at least saw the beach shack acrylic stand drop to twenty eight which is promising.

The bad news outside of the ticket case is the global mark up for the comiket items. I think Japan was under a hundred & thirty but the global version was more. I really wanted to get an order of the comiket items with the beach shack sticker set & a couple pulls for the hashira in shadows blind bags. There was absolutely no way. It would have been two hundred dollars without shipping. & I do actually have two hundred dollars but it just makes me so distraught because there were other things I wanted to buy. There were a number of things on Aliexpress I wanted, though they can wait. I was also hoping to run the kuji again this coming week & I have to pay my current Japanese package shipping, which won't be very expensive this time, but still. I'm just really distraught it ended up being a bit more expensive then I'd expected.

I considered if I could just buy in parts from Japanese Mercari since there were only two things I wanted in the set anyway, but it doesn't seem very viable if apparently everyone only bought the set for the acrylic stand anyway. Basically I want the two most expensive items. I ultimately decided that it was already planned I was going to get it & to just get the comiket order then I had enough for the order & shipping together. It looks like I will probably have to wait until next week to order the stickers & blind bags, which just feels obnoxious because I don't really want to pay two separate shipping fees but like, I don't have four hundred dollars to fuck around with every week ;-;

So I guess my plan is to try to get the other global order of the stickers & acrylic stands at some point & then do another run at the kuji before the month is over. Though I'm wondering how viable the kuji even is for me right now considering how bad I bombed my first pull lol but at least trying to pull the place mat should hopefully be easier than trying to pull the s tier prize. Besides, I'm kind of thinking I might be able to sell the basic acrylic stand with like a pin set for maybe forty dollars each, which would kind of end up turning a profit for me on those particular items.

I was also slightly alarmed that I'd immediately gone to the global website as soon as I got the email, but it looks like whoever applied the items for sale copy-pasted the listing details for every item, so the Uzui & Rengoku tapestry sets actually have the same product description as the other hashira sets. I'm not fucking around with this like I did with the water bottle, I screenshotted my receipt & I will be checking back to make sure they don't try to switch what product they're trying to give me...

Now I want to compulsively check the Mercari @.@ not that I have any more than seventeen dollars to my name :<

& to clarify, I did make another seventy dollars after my kuji escapade. & I listed like ten new items to Depop & just under ten crosslisted per every other platform. It's weird, last night I had a dream I made three sales but two of the items I sold were items I have for sale irl; my first volume of Comic Party & a Demon Slayer card lot. I was half hoping it was precognition that I would sell something. The dreams fucked me up so bad though that I actually thought a few times during the day I had to package up my sales to go out o.o

Even though sometimes I kind of dread getting something out, I do kinda feel like selling things is addictive. But it was my last batch of items I felt like people might covet. Now it's back to a box of maybes.

Which I actually think a more accurate assessment of number of items I have for sale is more like about five fifty rather than the six hundred I've been mentioning. Because I'm judging by the item count on Mercari, but unless I delete a sold item, it still shows up in my store count, & since I sold fifty, I think my total count of what's actually for sale is five fifty. & Vinted is about to hit four hundred, so roughly a hundred & fifty more listings until Vinted catches up. Which hopefully I should be getting forty dollars sometime this week for my last batch of shipped items.

I am hoping all will go well !!

it's nice to see joy inside of stressful times.

[freedomfireflies]

Hey! Can I ask a few questions? Imma ask my every fav author these.

1. How long have you been Writing?

2. Are you planning to make a profession out of this or just doing it for fun?

3. Who or which character do you prefer to write more for?

4. What do you do when you're out of ideas?

5. Lastly, Will plz give an advice for the young writers out that.

EEE I LOVE QUESTIONS!!!

1. Oooooooof I have no idea?? On Tumblr, a little over a year! In general...I started seriously writing in 2020 on Wattpad but I'd done a little bit here and there for years before!

2. LISTEN THAT WOULD BE THE DREAM, YES!! I have too many stories in my head to just let them collect dust!

3. Harry is really fun to write for only because the audience for Harry is bigger and fanfic Harry is pretty much his own person now?? So I don't even think about real Harry?? BUT.............I love me some Stiles Stilinski

4. Oooo another great question! It depends! Going on drives and listening to movie scores or music is actually my main trick for inspiration 😭 So I'll do that or open Pinterest or even look at prompts on Tumblr! Maybe read some stories to feel inspired! OR I'll ask some friends (@finelinesss has listened to me rant about...literally everything and most of it is actual crap)

5. This is so much easier said than done but try if you can not to compare or look at numbers and notes!! IT'S SO EASY TO COMPARE CAUSE I DO IT ALL THE TIME but it truly TRULY TRULY is not indicative of someone's work or the piece itself! Some of my favorite pieces haven't done very well compared some that I think are shit that do better! It really is about whether you enjoy what you wrote or not!

If you can figure out Tumblr's algorithm and what people want to see and what draws them in, absolutely try that!! But make sure YOU are most proud of your work first and foremost!!! I KNOW THAT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE, I KNOW!!! BUT...it get's easier and I'm so proud of anyone starting to pursue something that makes them happy! 😭💞💞💞

tws: yandere, mentions of n/sfw

tws (under the cut): very ddlg-esque vibes, sorta? infantilization, noncon

I'm sorry I get such strong daddy vibes it unintentionally went in this direction, hope that isn't too bad lmao

I’m working on all the prompts I’ve gotten in! I’ve gotten a few so I’ll be working on those.

What are they generally like? Lucid, aware? Obsessive? How do they behave?

He's one that might be likely to misunderstand his feelings at first, think that he sees himself as a mentor or maybe even an authority figure, someone to guide you and teach you and serve as a dependable partner to your travels. As time goes on, and he begins to recognize how utterly flustered he gets around you, he's forced to acknowledge the actual feelings he has.

While some yanderes with a slight aloofness or pride to them get worse when in love, such as Childe or Kaeya, his drops completely. You bring out a softer side of him, really, one that's protective and tender and loving, so very loving, wanting to be around you, with you. He's certainly an obsessive, protective type, ultimately allowing his protective nature to get the better of him as he demands to know everything you've done, account for your location at every moment, constantly keep track of your habits, inquire about very personal details of your life. If he realizes you're bothered by it, he might draw back a bit, but he's convinced that that's just your perception, that it's necessary, truly, and not at all unusual.

Pet names. Particularly fond of love, darling, and angel. Sweet things that represent what you mean to him -- something precious, something to represent his adoration and idolization.

The primary form of delusion comes from a perception of you. He's obsessive, and idolizes you to an extent. He perceives you as pure, innocent, angelic. The thing is, this applies regardless of whether or not you actually are. If you are, it will solidify the idea, but even if you're not, he will find a way to see you so, anyway. No matter how wise you are, no, you're naive. No matter how capable you are, no, you're weak and fragile. No matter how experienced you may be, no, you're pure. He can always keep this delusion running by bringing into account age and comparison - you'll never be as strong as him, so you might as well be frail and weak. You'll never have lived as long as him, so really, do you think there's that much difference between you and a child, when compared to someone like himself?

How likely are they to kidnap their darling? How quickly will they do so?

Actually highly likely, and pretty quickly. As he observes you, it becomes very clear to him how very fragile you are, how naive you are, you are quite literally too pure, too angelic, to be living in this world with such beings as humans. Fragile, beautiful little things have a place where they belong - protected. Where do we put fragile, beautiful things? We put them behind glass, behind ropes, in pretty cages, in secluded rooms. It's only natural that you, too, need a similar environment.

He's one of the ones that will... Elegantly kidnap you, as odd as it sounds. He's not a brute that would do something horrendous like knocking you out or drugging you, no, he'll find an excuse for you to come to his abode, invite you in, and you'll walk in none the wiser. Only after your in, and the doors close, does he guide you to your new room, calmly explaining that he's come to the realization that you're too fragile to continue your journey, and ought to simply give up on your travels. He knows you'll be upset at first. Like a child being denied, you'll get pouty, moody, you might cry, you might lash out at him. It's predictable. He'll dry your eyes and calm you down, brushing off any harsh words you may have, holding your wrists in his hands when you try to push him away, softly reassuring you that it will all be alright, that you're safe now, and you'll learn to accept this with time.

How difficult is it to escape from them? How do they keep you restrained? How do they deal with attempted escape? 

He would want something... elaborate. He's a man with taste for the most beautiful of things, including yourself, and he won't settle for something as simple as a chain or ropes. No, that would be too simple and brutish, and you, one of the finest things in his life, deserve something equally beautiful and delicate.

He's one of the ones that would go to a great deal of preparation for your arrival. He'd have a room prepared just for you, very ornate, beautifully tailored to you -- the walls your favorite color, the bed made of the same material as your old one, and the whole room completely filled with things you're certain you never even told him you liked. Clothes that fit perfectly to your body. It's frightening how perfect it is, because you know he had to go out of his way to acquire the information to achieve such perfection, but you have no idea how.

Everything about it elegant and detailed, right down to the series of ornate locks on the door. They're some of the sturdiest available, made with essentially unbreakable metal alloys and the most intricate lock systems to date. The windows don't open, and he'd certainly find some way to ensure escape through them isn't an option -- perhaps metal bars, perhaps an unbreakable glass substitute, perhaps merely locating your new home right on the edge of one of Liyue's most beautiful mountains, so that if you were to go out the window you'd plummet to the earth below. He's a bit delusional, but he's not stupid, and he will think through every possibility. Every little detail he needs to keep you safe and confined.

He's certain that, perfect as it is, this room is all you will ever need to be happy. Should you desire anything else, he can bring it to you. You'll never have to leave.

So it goes without saying that it would be exceptionally difficult to escape him. You'd have to find a way through the locks, for which your best bet would be to get some hair pins or tiny writing utensils. Even if you managed it, though, which would frankly be a very difficult feat, you'll have to deal with staying free. Zhongli has ties to the people of Liyue as a whole, and needless to say, he has eyes everywhere. You can't risk appearing in the harbor area, there will be far too many people who would immediately report you, and you'd just be walking right to him anyhow. The surrounding areas also have ties to him, so you'd want to try and reach Mondstadt, as far as it is, which is a difficult travel by foot all alone. You won't get far. He's faster, he's wiser, and he will find you long before you could ever hope to make it there.

However, he's not quite as angry as some yanderes would be about it. He doesn't take your escape personally, no, he blames himself, only calculating his own mistakes as to how it happened. He sees you as something like... a little runaway pet, so naive and dull that you don't know any better than to go wandering off. Or perhaps like a child, just sheepishly curious and wanting to explore, not knowing the dangers of the world. Or, perhaps...

"I haven't been giving you enough attention, have I? That's why you pulled this little act of rebellion... you're hurt by my negligence and wanted to be reassured of my care for you. I'm so sorry... I understand now, love. This was my fault. I've been so caught up with work... I'll delegate some tasks to my workers, and I'll be able to spend more time with you from now on, alright? Don't worry, I'm not angry, I'll take full responsibility. I'll be sure to make it up to you... now, let's go home."

How easy are they to trick, deceive, or manipulate?

Much like Childe or Venti or anyone who has been around as long as he has, you really don't stand a chance. He's an incredibly perceptive man. There's not much to say on the matter, as any attempts will be quickly shut down.

He'd find it amusing, really. Like a child trying to lie, but the evidence is all over their face and hands - it's that obvious to him. It's cute enough that he almost hates having to discipline you for it, but, you have to learn.

How lenient are they? What privileges can you have, and what will you be denied?

He wants his little angel to be safe - and unfortunately, you, being so naive and empty headed, don't always know what's best for you. He knows rules can be hard to follow perfectly, but they're there to keep you safe.

Extremely strict, will want to monitor every moment of your life, every little movement you take, and will insist on watching over you in every task. He'll pick out everything you wear, everything you eat.

Occasionally, if you ask very sweetly, he may take you out for walks in Liyue. Honestly, he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy taking you to what he knows are the finest locations, shops with the highest level of craftsmanship, restaurants with a high price tag and reputable food. He enjoys showing off his refined tastes and discerning selective abilities. And honestly? There's a certain... Powerful feeling to knowing you're made aware of the costs when he makes high purchases in front of you... even if you don't realize he's not always actually the one paying for it, or that he forgot mora again but promises the owner to pay later - but he'll make sure you don't know that. You hear the numbers, and your eyebrows raise, your eyes widen. You'd nearly faint if that total was on your responsibility, and he knows that. Which is why he'll simply smile at you, and tell you you're worth every last Mora. He'll buy you nearly anything you may desire. It seems like leniency, but in reality, it's his subtle way of locking control and dependency over you, making you respect him, making you love him.

"Don't worry, love. It's not a lot... Not to me, at least. Even if it were, my angel only deserves the best, no?"

What kind of rules do they have? What kind of punishment would they use?

Oh dear. Again, he's very strict, and wants to monitor everything you do, every little aspect of your life. He decides what you eat, portioning your meals to make sure you're eating enough, he worries about you going hungry during your travels, but luckily you'll never have to worry about that again. If you have a sweet tooth, he'll sigh and worry about your teeth and health, but he'll make sure to account for a little bit of sugar in your day, and will even pick up little treats from some of the most reputable places in Liyue.

He picks out clothes for you with each day. They're not... Normal clothes, per se. Certainly not what you'd normally wear on your travels. And it's not like anyone will see you except him - which is exactly why you'll have clothes he would never want anyone else to see you in. Frilly, lacey things, somehow both highly sexualized but also incredibly infantile, soft pinks, baby blues, gentle off-whites. They accentuate the curves of your body so perfectly, while just barely letting him see the parts of you normally kept hidden.

You'll have a schedule - a bath time, a bedtime, a wake-up time. He's weak to your requests, though, and may let you stay up a little late every now and then, or sleep in just a bit, if you make that soft pouting face and beg. He'll insist on bathing you, dressing you, so that you don't have to - and can't even if you wanted to - lift a finger even to wash yourself or put your clothes on.

He has a set of rules for you, very simple ones he hopes you can easily follow. No trying to leave. No doing anything dangerous. No talking to strangers when you go out. You must hold his hand whenever you're walking together, don't go wandering off.

He'll feel ashamed of the thought for a while, but eventually he'll cave and give into the desire, no, the security precaution, of a nice little collar for you. It's not too embarrassing, no, he went out of his way to find one that was delicate, almost like a necklace, made with fine materials, the engraving only visible up close. If you look closely, though, it clearly bears his name.

Breaking the rules is expected, he anticipates it. You're not the brightest, he might even view it as a mistake. A benefit is that you can easily pass it off as simply forgotten, or an accident. Hence, he's not too harsh - normally. He'll sigh, forgive you, and pat your head, contemplating how to prevent your access in the future.

Perhaps you wriggled out of his hand and ran off while walking? You were just excited, distracted, like a child. He might be able to procure a small leash, one that wouldn't be immediately obvious or embarrassing, to attach to your collar. Perhaps some cuff-like links to latch your arm to his.

You forgot the rule about not handling the kitchen knives and cut yourself? He'll have to get some kind of lock and simply keep them safely away from you. No big deal. Any measures are worth your safety.

If you push the limits, or have a defiant attitude, he might reach the point of punishment. As for not-unwholesome things, this would usually include taking away privileges, such as walks or sweets, but overall, punishment will mostly come in more impure forms.

How do they deal with rivals, or perceived rivals? Will they get rid of them? Will they kill them themselves, or find another way?

Not too much to say here - he has connections. He doesn't need to dirty his own hands. For all his supposed humility, if he truly dislikes someone, they're no more significant than an insect to him. He has no reservations about ridding the world of people who, in his mind, are obviously trying to deceive you, abuse you, corrupt you.

Thankfully, he is very capable of keeping a neutral face, even when he feels laughter building up. It would probably look strange if he were smiling over the newest body to come into his parlor.

How easy is it to make them mad? What does their anger look like?

It's a slow buildup. He views restraint as a virtue, and looks down upon those who lack control over their own tempers. He's a man who strives to meet his own standards of character, and that very much applies to self control and ability to maintain a controlled demeanor, even when he feels a bit of frustration due to you being intentionally and deliberately defiant.

It's his responsibility to be a good role model for you and make sure you understand how to behave. However, in the end, he's very keen on properness and rules. If you have a tendency towards brattiness and pushing your limits, you may drive him to a boiling point.

However, even when expressing his anger, he's remarkably controlled. It's very mature, really. Nonetheless, he will have you shivering and tearful with his voice alone, booming with that depth that reverberates off the walls, that vibrates against your very core. His true anger is one that can strike fear even in the most courageous individuals - he's terrifying when he wants to be, fierce and intimidating, a sort of power just eminates from him.

Nonetheless, it's quick, he calms down very quickly, wipes the tears from your eyes, and sighs.

"I do hate having to be firm with you... but I can't have you thinking you can just act however you want. You understand that, don't you?"

So they see you as above them, beneath them, or equal to them?

Both? It's difficult to describe. You're an angel to him. You're the finest work of art, the most intricate creation, the kind of person whose body and likeness deserves to be preserved in art and tradition, one of those women who should be renowned for beauty even centuries long after you're gone from the earth. It's almost goddess-like. At the same time, there's a beautiful, tragic duality to your essence, he thinks. A fragility and a dependency that leaves you in need, but an inherent status of perfection that makes you deserve the utmost perfect of care. You need to be coddled, cared for, protected, but you deserve it. Like a deity incarnated into a mere fragile human form, a queen that needs support to retain her grace.

Unlike some, he doesn't view his care and protection as some kind of favor that should be repaid with your gratitude, no, really, he is grateful that he is the one who is even deserving of being your caretaker, your provider, your lover.

Even if he is the one who determined that he deserves that role.

How determined are they for you to love them? How hard will they try to make it happen? Or are they content just having you?

He's convinced that he can show you that he is your protector, your lover, that it's fate itself that has locked you together, not just his own will.

And he is, above all else, patient. One of the most patient you could encounter. You think a year is a long time? It's nothing to him. A century for you? More than a lifetime. For him? Nothing. He can and will wait, as long as it takes, and he will never falter in his continual care. He'll remind you frequently, he'll shower you in affection, but if you don't return it? It's not that bad. He has all the time in the world to fix you.

Bonus: Is there anything that makes them unique, in comparison to other yanderes?

Moraless Sugar daddy

But in all seriousness, he is definitely of the gift-giving love language. He sees beautiful things, and beautiful things make him think of you! It's sweet, he thinks. So many little things he sees throughout his day make him think of you, and he has to have all of them, see your face when he gives them to you. He likes making you happy, for one, but he'd be lying if he said there wasn't a sort of satisfactory pride he gets from the power dynamic of it all. He wants to be the sole source of provision in your life, he wants your dependency.

If we're talking prior to the events of the game, it will be even more extreme. He treats it like it's truly nothing, throwing around massive purchases, seemingly as if he's not thinking about it at all. But he is - rest assured, he's taking it into consideration, at least, that is, how it will affect your attitude and perception of him.

General perverseness: how sexual of a person are they? What’s their drive like? How touchy do they get? Do they have any reservations about sexuality?

On the reserved side. He'd never conduct himself improperly in public, of course. It's out of the question. He cares about proper behavior and public image, and he'd never behave in a vulgar manner.

Even in private, he's certainly one of the ones that struggles with a certain guilt. To some degree, he would feel like you're so innocent and pure that he doesn't want to corrupt you. He goes through stages. First, he'll lie to himself, telling himself that the feelings he has for you are simply protective, platonic, a natural sense of responsibility for you. That becomes more and more difficult to convince himself of, the more excited he becomes around you, the more he finds his eyes drawn to whatever bits of skin are exposed on your body, finding himself drifting off to impure thoughts, trying to push them away. 

Second, once he's forced to acknowledge the true nature of these feelings, he'll simply practice restraint, something he's rather good at in this area. He tries, he really does. He tells himself he can't do something so impure, that it would violate you, that he should be ashamed of himself for it. It becomes more and more and more difficult to restrain himself with time, the feelings rising and the thoughts become more difficult to push away, eventually entertaining the fantasies in his head in an attempt to rid himself of the urge in real life. It doesn't work, no, it only makes the urges worse, and he can't be around you without his body nearly commanding him to do something. And finally, he'll take a different stance entirely, telling himself that, no, it's not going to corrupt you, rather, it's taking care of you. If he really wants to love you, really wants to care for all of your needs, then surely that would include your physical needs, and therefore, really, it would be wrong of him not to help you.

As that shift in viewpoints goes on, he'll become more and more bold, hands lingering just a little longer, face coming just a little closer. It's a slow build of tension, just waiting to boil over. 

How forceful are they? Do they care about your willingness?

He understands you're nervous. Again, no matter how experienced you are, somehow in his head he makes it out to be insignificant. Even if you've had other relationships, he convinces himself - and tries to convince you - that they were inadequate, they didn't care about you, not like he does. And he'll treat it as that -- any resistance you put up is nervousness, nothing more, nothing less. He'll reassure you a million times that you won't feel pain, that he'll be gentle, that you'll feel good, even if his size and strength frankly is rather intimidating regardless of experience. He'll keep cooing in your ear, softly whispering reassurance, softly running hands over your skin, holding you in place as the last inch stretches you apart. 

What sort of kinks or fetishes do they have, or would they fill?

Infantilization

Again, no matter how smart, experienced, and capable you may be, you're none of those things to him. You're a fragile, little thing. He has to take care of you at all times. It may not be evident at first, and he himself likely doesn't fully realize it, but there is something highly sexual to this for him. Caring for you puts him in a position of dominance, control. It gives him access to your privacy, dressing you up, fingers running over your skin, bathing you, watching your skin glisten. He'll talk to you in this way, too, often softly, remarking every little way in which you need him, and even condescendingly so. He wants you to be his, not only in a sense of love, but of possession.

Oral

Primarily giving. Even on its own, he loves the taste, but the effect it has on you makes it that much better. He loves anything that forces you to depend on him entirely for pleasure, that puts you at his mercy. And he'll be torturous about it too, restraining your arms and legs so you can't control anything, hold your hips down so you can't roll into him, so that only he can determine exactly how much pressure and speed you get. And he won't rush it, no, he'll go so slowly it's torturous, and telling you very simply that if you want any more, you'll have to beg.

Edging

For a variety of reasons. The power trip is as exhilarating as it is pleasurable, but he also loves watching your body writhe. Each little muscle that moves under the flesh when your arms strain against his hand holding your wrists together, the convulsing of your stomach muscles, the way your toes curl and legs spasm and the sweet little whimpers you make when he draws back just short of your high. He's mastered watching your reactions, knowing exactly when to stop, even if you try to mask it. He'll want you to tell him, though, nonetheless, tell him when you're close, if for nothing else but the sense of you obeying his commands.

Collaring

Similarly to infantilization, it gives him something of a sense of control, of possession. He loves seeing his name engraved on it, marking the whole of your being with his ownership. In his somewhat rare moments of roughness, he'll want to pull on it, use it to draw you towards him, in a moment of your defiance, in particular. If you're being mouthy, whiny, disobedient, and you finally make him snap, especially if you try to walk away from him, he'll yank you back with force, pulling you close to him, and when the force of it shuts you up, changes your demeanor, forces you to acknowledge your submission - the satisfaction he'll get from that is incomparable.

How do they feel about pregnancy or babies? Do they want them?

As much as he likes the idea, to him, you're already like a child, naive and fragile. Could your body even handle a pregnancy, a birth? He'd likely try to avoid it, but in the end, if it happened by accident anyway, rest assured you'd be getting the best care of any woman to ever be pregnant in Teyvat, and he'd do everything in his power to ensure you were always comfortable, taking his caretaking to another level, almost never even letting you get up, insisting you stay still and calm and needy.

What kind of (nsfw) punishments would they use?

He'd be one to pull the "it doesn't hurt you as much as it does me" line, but really, even if he refuses to admit it to his own self, having you bent over his lap is just as much for his own enjoyment as it is a disciplinary measure. It's more humiliating than it is painful -- he'd hold back, afraid of hurting you with his strength, but taking in every little flinch and whimper you make as he brings his hand down on your ass, keeping your head pressed down, kneading at the flesh. He'd insist it's the most effective punishment measure, but you can feel the hard-on digging into your stomach. The worse the behavior, the worse the beating, but every time, after it's over, he'll hold you upright, wiping the tears from your eyes and asking you if you learned you lesson, if you intend to do it again, and smiling when you insist you won't.

What body parts of their darling do they like the most?

Your skin. It's beautiful, and he loves the way that light from the moon and sun look on your naked form. He loves the way your skin feels, soft and delicate, smooth, so paper thin and fragile, and so, so deliciously prone to showing marks from the slightest of harm - a simple smack can make the plump flesh darkened and reddened, the lightest suckling will leave beautiful hickeys all down your neck and chest. There are so many ways to mark his property, to stake a visible claim all over you, it's irresistible.

He also will go out of his way, when picking out all the things he wants you to wear, to find colors that best go with your skin tone, in a contrasting sense - particularly lacey, sheer things that contrast very well, so he can see your soft flesh perfectly defined against the little lace patterns.

river jude phoenix, an open letter to you.

you should still be existing, breathing on this plane of existence. you were stolen away from us much too soon, and i'll never get over the pain of the loss of you. i think a lot of people think that you can't miss somebody you never met, i mean after all, you were gone before i was even drawing breath. however, i know this to be untrue, because the weight of missing you and yearning for you to be back here gets heavier everyday. you'd think i'd be over it by now, wouldn't you? but we don't get over someone like you. you were truly one of your own. such a kind, generous soul who would've still been just as sweet-natured to this day. my life has been shaped by you, without you even knowing it. moments and memories that never would have been made if it wasn't for your existence. i don't like to think about you not existing, ever. like never creating the movies you did, or having the conversations you did. but what hurts most is remembering you're not in the world now. at least not where you're needed, anyway. writing this post has bought back a scent that i thought would be gone forever. it's funny how a person can do that. i thought i met another real life version of you once. reincarnation, maybe? or trick of the mind? either way, that person is gone now, too. not in the same way as you are, but gone out of my life all the same. i don't know which loss feels greater anymore, because i can't help but feel you sent him into my life to let me know you're still around, and that little pieces of you will always be around, wherever i look. all i know is i still feel you here. your angelic grace surrounds my being. i'd trade my life for yours if it'd make you safe here, but being the person you were, i know you wouldn't let me, or anybody, trade places. the world is less kind now that you have gone. i'll spend eternity missing you. continue resting in the knowledge that you still make so so many people happy everyday, just that you existed my dear. here's some of my favourite lyrics from you, from your band aleka's attic's song, in the corner dunce.

there's a part of you, that can't help but to see right through this part of me, and so when i go around round and i hit the town, when i can't be found found then you wait for sounds. well it's over you, you're under me, and if it's the way it should be then i won't bother. your point of view is the point of me died, and when you hear a loud sound that means i'm back from town now, i rarely get to feel, you know, i hardly ever feel in place.

happy birthday, river jude phoenix.

Hi! Can I request a match-up for Haikyuu and Cookie Run?

I'm pretty bubbly and easily excited, but I'm very introverted and can run out of energy very quickly so I need to have naps often. I'm also pretty mischievous and like causing trouble/chaos. I'm very self-confident and bold but can't ask for anything out of sheer embarrassment. I can be way too honest with people and I don't mind telling someone exactly what I think about them. I really like drawing, painting, crochet, embroidery, cute things, video games, and horror. My hobbies can vary though because I get very bored very easily so I need something to entertain me at all times. I am an INTP and an Aries.

Thank you!

I match you up with....

Haikyuu!:

Satori Tendo

Absolutely loves your energy <3

Satori would enjoy your company,he loves your bubbly and cheerful personality!

He teases you often if you avoid asking for something. Not to worry though,he'll always ask for you after he's done with his teasing,,,,

NAPS WITH SATORI,, <3 I think he'll enjoy having you in his arms,asleep!

Honestly would get really emotional and soft if you actually fell asleep in his arms,,,,,

Omg,,,,chaotic duo,,,,

He would definitely hype you up and/or join you in your shenanigans.

Couple goals,really. The both of you would be absolutely adorable together!

He loves seeing you get excited over little things,he finds it adorable and will not hesitate to show how much he is in love with you.

"You're cute,y'know that?"

God he gets so excited when he's holding your hand. (Not relevant but just think about it,,,)

Satori ABSOLUTELY LOVES to pick you up and spin you around just to hear you laugh <3

Both of you in a shopping mall with him pushing a cart with you in it at an incredibly fast speed.

He really just loves seeing you happy♡

Satori would poke at your face/squish your face between his hands. He finds it endearing to see you like that. Oh and he'll coo at you while doing so,and maybe even press some soft kisses to your forehead <3

"Adorable. Absolutely adorable,angel!"

"You look so stupid like this." He'll then laugh afterwards-

Cuddles :(((♡♡♡♡

Hold his hand,trust me. He'll melt instantly.

You get bored easily? Oh! Well,,,being with Satori is full of surprises- so you're constantly always running from trouble or some other things,,, really,you can never expect anything to go right. Something always has to happen with Satori-

He'll DEFINITELY draw you and him(Dont expect much,its badly drawn,,,) But its cute,,,

"You're an idiot,Satori."

"Yeah,but I'm your idiot! Forever~!"

Cookie Run:

Toothpaste Cookie

He just got introduced into the game and we know absolutely nothing about him but for some reason I feel like he's a suitable match-

He'll tease you as well-

And it's mostly him just annoying you,poking at you or your face with a huge grin on his lips

"Hey Y/nnnnn~! What's wrong? Hmmm??? Too shy?"

"Want me to help you instead? Hm...let me think about it..."

"How about a kiss? Yeah? Then I'll do it!"

Don't worry though,he'll still help you even if you refuse to give into his tricks. He'll sulk for a while though,,,

God he's so love struck by you :((♡ He'll actually just stop doing whatever he was doing if you entered the same room he's in.

Everytime he sees you smile,he just falls in love again. It's cliché,but come on,he's in love <3

Always has a small and soft smile on his face when you're happy or you get excited over something. He finds it endearing♡

Same thing with Toothpaste cookie,you'll never get a break. Something if definitely bound to happen-

Get ready because once you're with him. You're stuck with him.

He'll constantly scare you. Whether or not you get caught off guard,he'll still laugh-

He's so sarcastic sometimes that he'll get into trouble- not that he cares though. But you'll have to drag him out of trouble.

But then both of you get into trouble because you were a bit too blunt when talking to the person-

"I mean..you are kinda rude,honestly."(Directing to the person-)

"See! That's what I'm saying!"

God,he has so much cheesy nicknames for you-

(Love~) (Sunshine) (Baby)

Definitely the type to be immature if you both ever get into a fight.

"Yeah yeah,whatever. But you still love me,I know it~"

"You want to kiss me so badly,right?"

Would definitely buy you a plushie just because it "reminded him of you". But really,he just wants to see you smile <3

"You know you love me~ You can't stay mad at me,sunshine!"

Toothpaste cookie's voice makes me mmmffmfm <3

Was doodling away today and I thought I'd share a little progress discussion!!!

Ok, so I love me clone bois and I wanted to do a portrait study. First thing's first, If I just draw with no reference my clones don't look very true to cannon.... which is ok, but I really want this one to look like Temuera Morrison. So I pulled up a picture of a rough 3D head-sculpt that I was playing around with in a photo editor:

Now I start laying out the general shape of my head. You'll notice that heads have kind of a rectangular- cylindrical shape. The beginning is very messy, lots of light lines so I can erase later. Also I extend lines way out so I can use the intersections to make the angles on my face.

Going back to look at my reference, I work out all the angles of the face, but I also look for points i can use to measure the size of my face. I'll take my pencil or finger and check the length between the bud of the nose and the chin or the space between the eyes. Compare your measurements.

Notice the forehead and the top of the head are almost 45% of the entire noggin!

See how the tops of the ears line up with the pupils? And the bottom aligns with the mouth?

And how you can connect the center of the eye with the corners of the mouth and the square of his chin?

When I measure one section and compare it to another it makes a huge difference in my perception!!

So now I really get to work fitting in all the various parts of the face. Don't fret too much right now about how perfect anything looks, get them oriented properly first. You'll cry if you spend a ton of time drawing a beautiful mouth and then realize its to far to one side:

I use multiple lines in one area, it also inadvertently gives me the appearance of shadows (in my brain). I might start adding some darker lines if I feel confident about a particular spot. Just keep working your way around the piece and adding lines here, ersing there, tweaking this or that. I jump around a lot so that the drawing is progressing bit by bit as a whole.

My difficulty comes when I get to the right side! I am right handed to my hand wants to move in arcs the right hand accommodates, which means the left sides of my drawings get done first 😅 the right side feels awkward, but I just take it slow and stay patient!! I lay down numerous lines in the same spot until I see shapes that please me. Long strokes, shorter strokes (those guidance lines from the beginning come in real handy here!!!) Once my brain Is happy with everything I go to work with my eraser and get rid of stray lines, smudges, etc and work st the shadowy spots to get the shape right. Often times a swipe with an eraser is as effective as a line with a pencil.

So I'm pretty happy with where I've gotten to!!! I think he looks handsome and stern, and I can see where Morrison's characters inspired me! Total sitting time was probably about 1.5 - 2 hrs. I have to go do chores and things😅, but maybe I can sit and do some ink later!

😨 I'll tell you what... I'm scared of coloring my drawings! I'm not as confident with markers as I am with pencil and ink, and I'm afraid I'll ruin my beautiful picture! But this gives me incentive to practice a lot, and learn new skills like water color painting/ ink wash, and digital coloring!

😁☝ Remember, any skill takes practice! The more you do it, the better you get! Its all about learning how your hands work and developing your own "tool box" of tricks and techniques. Once you find what comes naturally to you, then you can find ways to apply it most effectively! Lastly, don't fuss about mastering everything! I suck at painting and don't have the patience for it. Cannot stand pastels!!! So, I leave that for other folks and stick to my pencils. Also, I am lodged firmly in fantasy art. I can't do ultra-relistic things... and that's ok! I'll just enjoy looking at other people's work!!

Oh, And I had my supervisor handy:

Mam!!! Why has you not drawn me yet???

Lemme know if you enjoyed my lesson!!
