Sevika Fluff Alphabet

A-Z fluff headcanons with Sevika

Pairing: Sevika x reader

Tags: Established relationship

Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Sevika is not used to affection, so she would express hers subtly at first. As your relationship progresses, she will become more direct and outward in her affection. She's more than willing to give you any you need, she wants to please you and make you feel loved.

Body (What is their favorite physical feature of yours?)

She focuses on you as a whole, and loves every single part of you. If she really had to choose, she appreciates your facial features. She thinks your eyes are perfect, she loves your lips, she adores your face and how it feels when she caresses your skin.

Cuddling (How do they like to cuddle?)

Cuddling with you is her favorite thing to do after a long day. Sevika really enjoys close physical contact. She will give you romantic massages, and she loves to hold your hands. She'll kiss your neck as she snuggles you and she'll tell you how much you mean to her.

Dates (What are dates like with them?)

Her ideal date would be something like getting a drink and playing a game of cards. She would maybe even let you win sometimes... The two of you could go on occasional walks, or have a special dinner together. She loves going on dates regularly, whenever they can happen. A perfect date night would end in lots of cuddling and intimacy.

Equal (Are they the more dominant one in the relationship, or more passive?)

Sevika definitely is more dominant by nature, but this doesn’t mean she doesn’t respect you. She sees you as equals in your relationship.

Family (Do they want one?)

The idea of a family together is something Sevika might open up to, especially if it's something you want. She's perfectly content as things are, just the two of you.

Gifts (How do they feel about giving/receiving gifts?)

She is not really a gift-giver. Sevika is definitely not used to receiving gifts so if you gave her something, she would be really awkward and flustered. She would treasure any gift forever, and if you give her small little trinkets, she’ll carry them with her all the time. It makes her think of you while she’s at work.

Hugs (What are their hugs like?)

She gives you hugs from behind, she'll wrap her arms around you and hold your body firmly against hers. She hugs you like she never wants to let go.

Insecurity (Is there anything they are insecure about in your relationship?)

Sevika is very secure in the relationship. She trusts you completely. There is nothing at all that she's insecure about.

Jokes (Are they more serious or playful?)

Sevika is very witty and charming. Because she’s usually more serious, her jokes would really catch you off guard and make you smile. In public she’ll lean in and whisper something clever to you that she came up with, and it’s adorable how smug and proud of her jokes she looks.

Kisses (What are their kisses like?)

Her kisses are firm and intense. She loves passionate making out as well as brief, small kisses on your hand or on your cheek.

Love Language (What makes them feel loved?)

She expresses her love through acts of service and physical touch.

Marriage (Do they want to get married? How do they feel about it?)

Sevika is indifferent to the idea of marriage. You are the love of her life, and she is perfectly happy being partners without an official marital label. If marriage is important to you and is something you want to pursue, she would absolutely consider it.

Nightmare (What is their greatest fear in terms of your relationship?)

Her biggest fear is not being able to protect you, she’s terrified of you getting hurt. As a result, she's very overprotective and can be a bit possessive. She'll always keep you safe.

Obvious (How transparent are they when it comes to their feelings?)

This woman is obsessed with you and does not hide it. She's an extremely passionate lover. Though she is reserved and stoic by nature, she makes it perfectly clear how she feels about you.

Pet Names (What terms of endearment do they use for you? Nicknames?)

Sevika always thought pet names were stupid and mushy... until you became lovers. She uses romantic terms of endearment for you:

“My love”

“Doll”

“Darling”

“Sweetheart”

“My girl/my boy/my lover”

Quality Time (How do they spend time with you?)

Sevika is a busy woman so you best believe she makes the most of any time you have together. On quieter nights, you’ll lay your head in her lap as she smokes a cigar and plays with your hair. It means so much to her when she can relax with you, you take away all her stresses.

Romance (How romantic are they?)

Sevika is oh-so-romantic. She’ll get you flowers just because. Always holds the door for you. Kisses every inch of your body and tells you how much you mean to her, how you’re her everything. Makes you dinner, your favorite meal.

Secret (What is something they wouldn’t want others to know?)

She’s very embarrassed by the fact that she's so soft for you- of course she’s not embarrassed of your relationship at all, it’s just she’s kind of in shock at how vulnerable she is with you. You're the only one that’s ever made her this way.

Teasing (Are they a big tease?)

She loves making you flustered. She’ll hit on you a lot. She’ll get really close to you, her arms crossed as she stares down at you smugly. She knows exactly what she's doing when she grabs you by the waist and pulls you against her body to give you kisses on your forehead. Often she’ll scoop you up and carry you bridal-style because she finds it amusing.

Understanding (How understanding are they of your needs and feelings?)

She’s your biggest supporter and she cares about your feelings more than anything. Sevika is really good with communication, and she will always listen whenever you need somebody to talk to. She’s very understanding of any emotional needs you have, and she’ll always do her best to help you through anything.

Value (How important are you and the relationship to them?)

You mean everything to her, she will always put you first and prioritize your relationship. You're so important to her.

Weird (What is their quirk?)

Sevika has a huge soft spot for animals, and they just absolutely love her. She can make friends with almost any animal. In the streets of Zaun they’ll just approach her for pets.

Xtra (Random headcanon)

You two wear matching pajamas to bed. For sure. It was her idea, too.

Yearning (How would they handle missing you?)

When you’re apart, she misses you a lot more than she would admit. She keeps a photo of the two of you with her everywhere she goes. That helps her for short times apart, like when she’s working. If you’re not together for a long period of time, she usually holds some of your clothing because it smells like you, and she’ll imagine you’re there cuddling her.

Zzz (What are they like to sleep with?)

She’s definitely the big spoon. She loves to sleep with her arms around your waist, your body pressed against hers. It makes her feel very secure to know you’re close to her and safe. She’ll murmur sweet nothings as she runs her fingers through your hair, and she’ll wait for you to fall asleep before she lets herself drift off.

Madara NSFW Alphabet

A NSFW alphabet has been done for Madara by others, so I also tried to switch up most of the letters. This is for Madara with his beloved S/O. Hope you enjoy! @immazebrah

Warnings: very NSFW. Too many acts/kinks to list. Read at your own risk.

A- Anal

Sex is one of Madara’s main methods of expressing how deeply he feels about you. Madara wants all of you, so the butt stuff is an absolute “Yes!” for him if you’re down, even if it isn’t his first choice of hole. He properly prepares you so even if there will be stretching, there isn’t pain with Madara once he’s in. You’ll beg him to do this more often in the future.

B- Body Part (Favourite)

Madara isn’t particularly vain, but even he has to agree his cock looks visually appealing. Doesn’t hurt (pun intended) that he’s well-endowed and stretches you nicely. In conjunction with his hands, he plays your body like an instrument, each sound he draws from you is music to him.

On you, he likes everything –he actually does have every feature on your body memorized. But if he must choose, his favourite parts of you are your eyes and smile. Generally, if you’re happy, then he is as well. When your attention is on him and even your eyes light up to smile at him, it’s almost enough to thaw out his own grouchy face.

C- Cum

Don’t let his composed, courteous demeanor in public fool you. He gets overcome with emotion and feral in the sheets. We all know about his breeding kink. His preference is to finish inside to leave a piece of himself in you, whether that’s your pussy (top choice), ass, or mouth. If he really can’t have that, then he’ll pull out reluctantly, but unload all over your face, chest, or nether bits to mark you as his.

D- Dirty Talk

The main thing you need to know is that Madara is dominant and enjoys teasing you, but ultimately he loves you, so he wouldn’t be too cruel. His dirty talk is heavily psychological. He knows you well and is such a master of words he doesn’t need (nor want) to use the most degrading terms to taunt you (unless you’re into that, but that isn’t his default state). Typically, the deep timbre of his voice, along with his observations on how you look eagerly taking his cock, making you repeat what you want him to do to you, and his praise for your performance are already pretty effectively at making you ache and plead.

E- Edging

Overstimulation is the name of his game. Orgasm denial is a favourite way he teases and exerts his control over your body without hurting you. He is patient. He can amuse himself with your body for hours and bring you to the brink of an orgasm and back off many times, leaving you begging pitifully for release before he finally allows you to finish. On other occasions, he is overly generous and provides too many orgasms, which also leaves you a writhing puddle of tears.

F- Facesitting/Facial

He enjoys getting covered in your juices. When you lose control and hump his face with enthusiasm, block his air with your crotch so that’s all he can see and smell, then leave his head drenched, he knows he did a great job. On the flip side, when he receives fellatio, he is open both to taking charge or allowing you to do your thing, depending on the mood of the day. If he doesn’t lose patience and decide he wants to fuck instead, he prefers you swallow his load. During oral sessions when he’s feeling especially possessive, he will mark you as his by finishing on your face as you open wide to show him just how willing you are.

G- Group Sex

Madara won’t share you. The intimacy you share took a long time to build and is very special to him. There is no way he will allow an outsider to intrude on it. The only gangbang you’ll ever experience will be with his clones.

H- Hickey

Despite his propensity towards marking you, he’s surprisingly tasteful about it. It must be due to his need for privacy. He doesn’t tend to leave suck marks on your neck where others can see them. He believes what you and him do in private is no one else’s business, so he only places his love marks where your clothes will hide them (unless one was left elsewhere by accident). They’re really only for his viewing pleasure.

I- Intimacy (how is he during the act?)

You’re the love of his life. He can be extremely tender and bare his heart to you during the act, from affectionate words and stares to gentle touches. He can be rough at other times, depending on his mood, but sex with Madara is always intense. His feelings for you can make him do some strange things though. Aside from his base Sharingan, which he frequently employs for its increased perception and to memorize every detail, he occasionally also uses his (not technically canon) Mangekyou ability to record and rewind the most intimate moments during sex, such as orgasms.

This doesn’t happen often either, but when he’s feeling especially soft for you, but passionate and dramatic, he may activate part of his Susanoo to protectively envelop you in his chakra while he rails you.

J- Jousting (can be a slang term for double penetration)

...Yeah he would. Why wouldn’t he? He likes pussy. And he likes ass. Why not plug both at the same time? Or two cocks in one hole if you’re into that? Clones are useful for more than just dancing. Toys may be employed to achieve double penetration as well. He’s open to experimentation if you’re willing and it doesn’t injure you.

Actually, this term is also used to refer to men charging at each other with their erections out. If his S/O was male, he’d be a lot more competitive than with a woman and would swordfight you, if only to demonstrate his mastery of kenjutsu. Don’t indulge him. Madara is insane and this kind of jousting will end with your dick broken.

K- Kinks

Bondage and BDSM, including temperature play (wax and ice), light spanking, restraints with gags and blindfolds, and possibly breath play (very carefully). He’s sensitive to your limits and how you’re feeling, respectful of the safe word, and appreciative of your trust to relinquish control to someone like him. He won’t betray your trust, but enjoys leaving you a babbling mess and will put you in your place if you’re being a brat.

Despite wanting to spank you a bit so he can watch your butt and boobs jiggle, he doesn’t strike you elsewhere (like the face). It’s just not what he’s into. His intention also isn’t to leave you feeling used or dirty, so despite teasing you constantly with his sinful words and the tools and toys of his kinks to get you worked up and embarrassed, he doesn’t humiliate you either.

L- Lube

He prefers not using lube for vaginal sex, but will if you really need it. Something about going natural and hearing that slick sound gets him going. He’s huge, so to ease his entry and prevent micro-tears to your insides, he’s willing to spend a lot of time on foreplay and getting you to a point where you’re so hot and bothered you’re just dripping with slick.

He will use lube for anal. No sense trying to shove a can dry up delicate hole like that. It’s painful for him too if there’s too much friction.

M- Maiesiophilia

Don’t know this word? I didn’t either before this post. Madara didn’t have a pregnancy fetish until you got heavy with his child and after he got over his old-fashioned beliefs about the risks of pregnancy sex. After that hurdle, the sexless months and sight of your body swelling with the product of your love got to him. It doesn’t matter if there is already a bun in the oven, he is somehow even more aroused when left with your naked, pregnant figure and he will continue to breed you, albeit much more gently.

He doesn’t have a preference for breast size, but seeing your tits plumped up makes his hands itch to fondle them, to your dismay. You have to remind him multiple times whenever you’re intimate of how tender they are. Once you give birth and start lactating, believe me, he’ll try out your dairy too, lactose intolerance be damned.

N- NO

He isn’t into scat. Madara also refuses to draw blood from you, so there will be no blood play unless it is natural via period sex. Otherwise, he’s open to trying almost anything, but he will never hurt you or force you into anything you don’t want to do.

O- Oral

He’s an excellent giver and knows your spots. He can be sweet and giving where he treats oral sex as an opportunity to drink his fill of you, but he has days when he’s an unhinged animal (and gross), where he relieves his craze through your body. Whether you were wet, dry (unlikely), or on your period, he will want to devour you completely and eat whatever comes out of your hole, juice, blood, clots, and all.

P- Position (Favourite)

Madara is very visual. He likes both when your back is completely exposed and vulnerable and positions where he can see your face (so he can watch the expressions he’s evoking and make you stare him in the eyes as he fucks you). Both your back exposure and prolonged eye contact, especially when he frequently activates his Sharingan during sex, are signs of trust to him. Madara would never admit how much he needs you to trust him.

Q- Quantity (how many partners did he have)

Not an excessive number, though he learned well from each of them. Madara is an emotional and intensely private person. It was rare for him to seek random sexual encounters despite not being against such a concept. Once he has sex with someone, he prefers seeking that same partner, even if he is only casually involved with them. But once he’s with you, his S/O, he’ll never let go. Sex is a way for him to connect with you not just physically, but on an emotional and spiritual level. He cares more about the quality of his partners and love making, not so much the quantity.

R- Racy Clothes

It’s hot when you wear lingerie for him, especially sexy lace body suits, even if he thinks your body is perfect as is and donning such skimpy clothing is a waste since he’s going to rip it off anyways. You learned quickly to only wear your best lingerie on days you believe he’s more civilized (he had you fooled).

He wasn’t thrilled when you expressed your desire to see him in male lingerie. At first he thought it was beneath his dignity, but for you, he wore the silly thing. The set you got him outlined his pecs, butt, and package deliciously. When he saw how excited you were, he obliged you several more times.

S- Spooning

In Madara’s opinion, an excellent position for anything. Sleeping, sex, aftercare, you name it, having you flush against his body is gratifying, particularly when you unknowingly wiggle your arse against his crotch . He prefers being the big spoon, but will enjoy being cradled when he’s tired and/or relaxed, as long as you don’t verbally acknowledge the position. Otherwise, he will just as quickly flip the script and have you back in his arms with a crotchety expression on his face.

T- Testicles

When it comes to receiving oral sex, Madara likes having you worship his scrotum as well. He loves when you want to lick him everywhere like he does to you and seeing how much of himself he can get inside your mouth. He can be a bit of a masochist and loves when you’re a bit rough in general, even with his sack.

He also likes when you’re on your back with your head hanging off the bed so he can throat fuck you properly. He knows you love the view from between his legs and having his massive balls smear all over your face, your legs spreading lewdly because you’re enjoying yourself so much, you wish you had another cock pounding your other holes.

U- Underwear

…He probably wears a fundoshi, or a loincloth. Think of a long piece of cloth twisted and tied up to look like a thong with/without a front panel. It’s probably uncomfortable, but he looks extremely hot.

V- Virginity (when/how did he lose it)

Like most people from his generation, he started things young. I want to say he first had sex at around 15 years old or so, but since it’s Madara, who was more preoccupied with training, fighting, protecting Izuna, and preparing to be the next clan leader, he might have been in his late teens when he lost his virginity.

Madara had been curious for a while even if he never acted on it. He didn’t want to sleep with a random member of the clan who was willing because he was the heir. And at his tender age, he wasn’t going to visit a brothel either. The opportunity to bed a civilian woman he found attractive came up naturally during a mission, when his teenage hormones were acting up after the adrenaline rush from the day wore off. It was a peaceful night when she showed him how to perform the dance of the flesh and the wonders of carnal pleasure on her bedroom futon.

W- Wildcard

He loves loves LOVES when you lick him clean after sex, especially if it involved vaginal penetration. He may be normally gruff, but he enjoys your aftercare too. Clearing your combined fluids from his cock with your tongue is such an intimate and submissive act, it makes him melt when he’s at his most vulnerable, which is after sexual intercourse. He also wouldn’t complain about seeing his cum on yet another part of you.

X- X-Ray (Dick HC)

Madara’s cock can look like anything you want (he is whatever size and shape you prefer) since there is nothing from canon to tell us about it. Except ONE thing:

Madara is basically a Japanese samurai with major superpowers. A Japanese man. According to my Google (re)search, male circumcision is extremely rare in Japan, with only around 1% to 9% of Japanese men being circumcised. Even if we use the higher end of this estimate, the vast majority of Japanese men today are uncut, and when we take into consideration how Madara came from an older generation, circumcision was even more uncommon. Thus, Madara is almost certainly uncut. QED.

So I can’t stop won’t stop writing about his foreskin in my smut. It’s weird to me that most writers don’t mention it at all, when there’s so much you can do to it. *salivates*

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL (People from countries where circumcision isn’t the norm must think I’m nuts too✌🏻 ).

Y- Yielding (does he let you take control)

Madara is a control freak, but being his S/O means he trusts you too. He occasionally allows you to take the reins despite this being way less frequent than him being the dominant partner.

This is a different dynamic than when he is in charge (and you really are at his mercy) since he is physically much stronger and knows he can put an end to whatever you were trying on him if he wanted. He almost never does that though because it is entertaining and interesting for him to see what you come up with. Whenever he is in charge, Madara is aware of his strength and very careful with you. But if he decides to give you control, he generally lets you do whatever you want with him, encouraging you to be rougher with him because he can take it.

Z- Zzz (sleeping afterwards)

Madara doesn’t make love (or do anything) in a half-assed manner. Expect him to keep going until he’s satisfied after multiple rounds and you’re completely fucked out. This could take hours. This loving beast will only rest after he’s cleaned you up, ensured the surroundings are still safe, and that you’re okay and sound asleep.

Thinking about this question addresed to Muu...

What's your dream for the future?

Muu wanting to be a model herself it's not something very surprising, sure, especially considering that her mother was a model too.

What are the occupations of your family members?

However I always wondered what kind of model she can be.

Fashion model industry has a requirement for heights. Usually, you need to be at least 170 cm (5'7") to be able to be a fashion model. Because of Kotoko's height and appearance, even Milgram describes her as having features that will make her a good model!

In Japan, the height requirement is less strict, the minimum being 166 cm (5'6").

However, Muu's official height is 162 cm (5'3"), so she doesn't fit the height requirements. And unfortunately for her, the chances of her becoming taller are low, because girls usually stop growing after 15 years old, Muu being older than that.

So how did Muu receive scouting offers if she doesn't fit the requirements to be a fashion model? Well, simple, despite that I always viewed Muu as being a fashion lover, especially after trial 2, there are other types of modelling!

Fashion (Editorial) Model, Runway Model, Commercial Model, Fitness Model, Parts Model and many more! (if anyone is interested I'll put the link here!)

Based on these, Muu can be, most probably, a commercial model and parts model!

Commercial Models are not restricted by age, height, or size, while parts model basically means having body parts and facial features that make you stand out, usually used on editorial, advertising, and catalog work.

Muu has been complimented many times for her looks, even her profile states that she is very beautiful.

But modelling is not just about being considered pretty, you need to have something that makes you stand out!

"Being a model isn't just about being “good looking” or “pretty.” There are a lot of beautiful people in the world. If you're serious about getting into modeling, it's important to have “a look.” There should be something unique about the way you look or the way you're built."

And Muu actually posses this feature!

In the first voice drama, Es is noticing her unusual and pretty face features.

Based on this, we can say that Muu might be a perfect face model!

"Beauty modelling, also known as face modelling, is a category of modelling that takes place predominantly in the beauty industry – so skincare, make-up and cosmetics. Models regularly require extremely close-up photos of their faces, or parts of their faces, so it’s important beauty models are well-groomed and take care of their skin, hair and nails."

Healthy hair and clear skin

Well-maintained nails

"You need to learn how to move the tiny muscles in the face to create different expressions. Can you smile or laugh convincingly on demand? Can you look gloomy or thoughtful at a moment’s notice? If you have a natural poker face and struggle to control or show emotions, you’ll struggle being a beauty model."

Muu is very expressive when it comes to her emotions and feelings. If something bothers her, she will not hesitate to be blunt about it. An event that made her upset? She will show her sadness by crying, will be vocal about it. An action that made her happy? Her body language is easy to read and, with a confident and pretty smile, she'll show her cheerfulness!

Moreover, Muu is able to change her emotions very quickly and easily.

A good example is in her first voice drama, where Muu, after many minutes of crying, is changing her attitude in a few seconds, after seeing Es talking with Jackalope.

So Muu can easily be a famous face model if she truly wants to!

Also, another interesting thing!

Muu is saying that her mother, who was once a model, is not active anymore.

"But while most female models are considered ready for retirement by the time they turn 25, males tend to start later and are more likely to make modeling a long-term career."

Although, 25 is not necessarily the age when female models have to retire, there being many exceptions, depending on how they maintain themselves, for Muu's mother it's very possible that she retired during that age!

If we take Muu's father age, based on this portal timeline conversation:

"Kazui: Hm? Ah…… Kusunoki-chan. Sorry for asking out of the blue, but how old is your father?

Mu: Eh…? Um… I think he’s 41…"

which is 41, and we consider that her mother is the same age, then, when Muu has been born she was 25 years old! The same age when most models retire! So Muu's mother most probably retired short after her daughter's birth!

Can you write headcanons about the characteristics of Carla's girl in terms of appearance, demeanor, etc.?

Of course, I can do that! However, I also plan to create headcanons for Shin, as I want to maintain a sense of balance between the two characters.

Also... I'm assuming you were referring to the “Carla's girl” as if it were something related to the type of girl he considers ideal for a relationship. If I'm mistaken, please send me another message with more specific details. I struggle with text interpretation, context, and often irony. I hope you have fun!

— Carla Tsukinami:

1. Appearance:

In general, Carla is intrigued and often attracted to the particular and unique beauty of each woman. He doesn't see the point in standardizing and limiting himself to a single type of woman, even if he doesn't have a preference for a specific body type or facial feature. However, he certainly finds charm in the combination of distinctive features and an enigmatic aura, someone who sparks curiosity or gives him the sensation of unraveling a puzzle.

On the other hand, Carla would also appreciate a woman with a sculptural silhouette, elegant curves, or a confident posture. She would be attracted to someone who exudes a powerful and sophisticated presence, both physically and in her expression.

Carla's preference for women with wide hips is rooted in an instinctual desire to ensure the survival and well-being of his race. As a First Blood with a deep sense of duty towards his kind, he prioritizes the continuation and preservation of his lineage. In his mind, women with wider hips symbolize the potential for healthy childbirth and the ability to bear strong and resilient offspring.

While Carla may not openly discuss or acknowledge this preference, it influences his subconscious attraction towards women with wider hips. He may find himself instinctively drawn to their physical features, perceiving them as more suitable partners for fulfilling his race's future.

In my opinion, this preference does not define Carla's entire perspective on attraction or relationships. It is just one aspect of his sense of responsibility towards his lineage and race. Ultimately, the connection with a woman would go beyond physical attributes and encompass a myriad of factors, including intelligence, strength, and compatibility.

He also would be enchanted by a woman with deep and intense eyes that can reveal her own complexity. He would be attracted to eyes that convey mystery, wisdom, and a spark of challenge.

Carla values attention to detail and may notice a woman's hands and nails. He finds well-manicured hands with neatly trimmed nails to be an attractive feature, signifying elegance and sophistication.

2. Demeanor:

Carla would be attracted to a girl who is exceptionally intelligent and insightful. He would value a partner who can keep up with his intellectual conversations and challenge his mind with profound insights and well-founded arguments.

He would appreciate a girl who demonstrates resilience in the face of adversity and possesses unwavering inner strength. Carla would be drawn to someone who can withstand his mind games, someone who can hold firm to their own identity.

Carla would be captivated by a girl who exhibits courage and can face challenging situations with calm and control. Carla would value someone who can maintain composure in moments of danger and is not easily intimidated.

While Carla possesses a cruel and sadistic nature, he might be attracted to a girl who can comprehend and accept those aspects of him. Someone who is not frightened or repelled by his darkness but can see beyond it and discover the complexity of his personality.

Carla respects individuals who display strong willpower and determination. A potential partner who possesses unwavering resolve, especially when facing challenges or defying his orders, would earn his admiration. Their refusal to succumb to his cruelty could potentially intrigue him even more.

Carla holds a certain level of pride as a First Blood, and he would appreciate a partner who possesses influence and charisma. Someone who can sway others to their cause or inspire loyalty would impress him.

He would be captivated by a woman with disciplined fire, someone who can harness their emotions and desires to achieve their goals without being consumed by them. He would value her ability to maintain composure and channel her passion into focused actions.

3. Skills and Talents:

Carla would appreciate a woman with a keen sense of strategy and tactical thinking. He would be attracted to someone who can analyze complex situations, devise intricate plans, and anticipate their opponents' moves, providing valuable insights for their shared endeavors.

He would appreciate a woman with exceptional artistic talents. Whether it's painting, music, or any other artistic medium, he would be intrigued by her ability to express herself creatively.

Carla would appreciate a partner who thinks outside the box and brings unique perspectives to the table. The ability to come up with unconventional solutions to problems, challenge established norms, and surprise him with her creativity would capture his interest. A partner who can offer fresh ideas and innovative approaches would be highly valued by him.

Given Carla's sadistic and manipulative tendencies, he would value a partner who possesses a strong will and resistance to mental manipulation. Someone who can see through his mind games, maintain their own identity, and resist his attempts to break them emotionally would both intrigue and challenge him.

Carla, being an individual of high intelligence and reason, values intellectual stimulation. He finds solace and entertainment in the world of literature, particularly in the classic works of human authors. Therefore, he would appreciate a partner who shares his passion for literature as it would provide them with common ground for engaging conversations and discussions.

Carla's appreciation for literature may be influenced by his confinement in Bandamen and the time he had to indulge in this pastime. Additionally, the specific works and authors he prefers within the realm of classic literature may vary, depending on the narrative and context.

4. Principles and Values:

Carla harbors a thirst for revenge regarding the destruction of his kind and blames Karlheinz for it. He would appreciate a woman who shares his sense of justice and strives for equity. Someone who is willing to fight for just causes and defend what they believe to be right.

While it may be difficult for Carla to display empathy and compassion, he would appreciate a partner who possesses these qualities. Someone who can understand and care about the emotions and experiences of others, even if he himself may struggle to fully express these feelings.

Carla values honesty and expects his partner to be a person of integrity who follows their principles and is truthful in their actions and words.

He values trust as a fundamental aspect of any relationship. He seeks a partner who is reliable and can be trusted to keep their word and maintain confidentiality.

Carla respects individuals who possess a strong sense of independence and autonomy. He would appreciate a woman who can stand on her own and make decisions with confidence, without relying excessively on others.

He is drawn to individuals who can display both strength and vulnerability. He would be intrigued by a woman who can exhibit strength and independence, but also be open to showing her vulnerable side when necessary.

— Shin Tsukinami:

1. Appearance:

Shin is attracted to a feminine figure with pronounced curves, as opposed to Carla, Shin is more visually oriented when it comes to body and appearance. He likes curves, such as well-proportioned breasts and a defined waist. He values a sensual and voluptuous appearance.

He may prefer a girl with average or slightly shorter height. He may be drawn to a more delicate and selective appearance in terms of stature.

Shin may appreciate smooth, pale skin with a natural glow. He may prefer a lighter complexion with few imperfections, giving off a delicate and ethereal look.

He also have a preference for an hourglass figure, where the bust and hips are well-balanced with a defined waist. Shin finds this classic body shape visually appealing and captivating.

Shin may be captivated by eyes that have a mesmerizing quality. He particularly appreciates long, luscious lashes that add depth and allure to a woman's gaze.

Shin appreciates intense eye colors like dark brown or honey, capable of conveying emotion and depth. He enjoys being able to discern what his girl is going through just by looking into her eyes.

2. Demeanor:

Shin is attracted to strength and resilience. His ideal girl would possess an unwavering spirit, unafraid to challenge him and his beliefs. She would have a rebellious streak, never hesitating to speak her mind and stand up to Shin, making their dynamic intense and unpredictable.

While Shin admires strength, he also enjoys exerting dominance. His ideal girlfriend would exhibit a subtle level of submissiveness, allowing him to indulge in his problematic side while maintaining a power dynamic that satisfies his ego.

In other hand, Shin would be drawn to a girlfriend who can assert herself and hold her ground when dealing with him. He would respect a girl who isn't easily intimidated by his violent outbursts or hurtful remarks, but instead, responds with strength and resilience.

Despite his flaws and volatile nature, he craves a deep connection and loyalty. His ideal girl would be a trusted confidante, someone he can rely on and confide in without hesitation. She would be fiercely loyal, supporting him unconditionally and offering guidance when he needs it most.

He wants someone who can see past his dark side and love him for his strengths and weaknesses. Shin desires a partner who will stand by him, offering unwavering support and acceptance.

Shin enjoys pranks and teasing, so his ideal girl would possess a playful sense of humor. She would be able to laugh at herself and appreciate Shin's mischievous nature. However, she would also need to understand his boundaries and not be hurt by his actions, as Shin can sometimes take things too far.

Or perhaps, considering the fact that Shin enjoys surprises and challenges, his ideal girl would have an element of unpredictability. She would keep him on his toes, always bringing something new and exciting to their relationship. Shin is intrigued by the unknown and finds excitement in unraveling his girlfriend's layers.

3. Skills and Talents:

Shin, being a powerful being himself, would appreciate a girlfriend who possesses formidable combat skills. She would be skilled in various forms of combat, capable of holding her own in dangerous situations, and earning Shin's respect through her prowess.

One of the main factors that will make Shin interested in a girl is if she has a way with animals. He has an extensive range of familiars, and he treats them like family. A woman who doesn't respect this is not worthy of capturing his interest. He is particularly attracted to a woman who demonstrates genuine love for animals and has a natural ability to handle them. He values the empathy and understanding that a person has when interacting with his familiars. His potential girlfriend's ability to understand the needs and behaviors of Shin's familiars is a sign of respect and consideration that deeply captivates him.

The animals are silent witnesses to his joys, sorrows, and everything he has been through. Therefore, finding a girl who can relate to and appreciate this important part of his life is something that Shin greatly values.

As someone who aspires to the throne and wishes to prove himself to his older brother, Shin seeks a girl who possesses management and organizational skills. He needs someone who can assist him in managing his personal affairs as well as aiding him in the conquest and governance of the kingdom.

I assume we're following the Dark Fate timeline, so to me, that logic makes sense.

As a descendant of the Ancestor bloodline, Shin values strength and combat abilities. He looks for a girl who is proficient in martial arts or possesses some form of fighting skill, as it reinforces his belief that she is worthy of standing by his side.

4. Principles and Values:

Shin can be dominating and demanding, so he may seek a girl who is self-sufficient and capable of taking care of herself. He wants someone who is not overly dependent on him but can contribute significantly to the relationship.

Although Shin can be manipulative, he can appreciate honesty in a girl. He wants someone who is truthful and straightforward with him, even if it means confronting him or questioning his actions.

Shin admires courage and determination. He seeks a girl who is not afraid to challenge conventions or take risks in pursuit of her goals. He values a partner who is bold enough to face the obstacles that arise in her path.

Shin's trust is not easily earned, but he desires a girl who is trustworthy and dependable. He wants someone who can keep his secrets and stand by his side through thick and thin. He values loyalty and expects his partner to be someone he can rely on.

He seeks a girl who is ambitious and has a strong drive to succeed. He wants someone who is not content with mediocrity but constantly strives for greatness, pushing herself to reach new heights.

Hermes and divine horned babies

If I had a nickel for every time there was a myth involving Hermes with a divine horned baby, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

I was supposed to be finishing my Artemis and Apollo WIP, which has been incomplete for days, but here I am with another Hermes. I think I'm going to have to draw Hermes again because twice I chose the worst possible framing and pose for him, because in this position 1) chlamys covers him a lot 2) his arm covers too much chlamys

Moving on! I had drawn this Hermes with Dionysus before (I posted it yesterday, more specifically), but I took the opportunity to be inspired by the Hymn to Pan. When I read it months ago, I thought it was cute how Hermes, upon seeing Pan, didn't feel at all bothered by his unusual appearance and was happy to see him. He picked him up and took him to Olympus and the gods were happy, especially Dionysus (who, by the way, is a deity often associated with satyrs). So, besides the similarity of being Hermes and a divine horned baby, putting this drawing of Dionysus back here for the connection between him and Pan as well.

Yes…I've been training how to draw babies because I had never drawn one before Achilles. How did you find out?! Certainly not because I have already drawn Thetis with baby Achilles, Hermes with baby Dionysus, now Hermes and Pan and I am still considering drawing Apollo with baby Hermes.

Pan's design is a bit of an obvious thing, I guess? In his Hynm it says that he was already somewhat "developed" in terms of fur and had goat-like characteristics, so that's what I did. A bearded baby. But it also said he was a happy, noisy baby, so he's giggly instead of the calmer face I did in Achilles and Dionysus.

As for my Hermes, in the drawing with Dionysus he's normal, but in the drawing with Pan you can notice that his face is a little strange because he's actively making an expression instead of just existing. Like, not blatantly weird, but his eyes don't quite follow the change in expression right? As incredible as it may seem, it's supposed to be strange. I swear this time it wasn't exclusively the fault of my serious problem making expressions in digital drawing!

I wanted him to look a little unnerving, the kind that gave off a slightly untrustworthy air, like a nod to Hermes' association with cunning. That's why I decided to make his petaso shadow his face, I chose facial features that gave him a more "mischievous" look and I drew eyes that, regardless of his expression, still looked a little strange. In short: I wanted him to have an appearance that, when he smiled, seemed a bit artificial to give him an air of untrustworthiness. Also, about the tooth gap visible now that I made him smile, this was intended to resemble a hare since it's one of the animals associated with Hermes.

Hello! After scrolling your blog, I must say, you have a very unique and pretty art style, i absolutely adore it. You have fantastic art I must say. Any inspiration for it?

OMGGGGG this is such a sweet message to open up to, thank you for this compliment, I take it as a high honor to have people wonder about my inspirations hahaha

As for the big one, it's honestly the man himself, Hirano. There's just so much of his approach to art that I've been so taken with ever since I first discovered it. His rendering is utterly jaw-dropping, and his sense of unique style never fails to inspire me. I love how distinctive and evocative all his trademarks are - all the duster coats and the creative ways he uses them in his panel compositions, the iconic facial expressions (I especially love how he draws scared faces and the way he draws teeth on characters when they're in a predatory position in the story, human or vampire) and his methods of hatch shading and rendering. More than anything, though, I love his sense of posing and character design and how those interact. His art has such a striking marriage of those two things and the aforementioned panel composition. His art inspired me to try to understand anatomy better and the elements of character design that might allow me to one day compose something that has the sheer level of coolness that bleeds from every page of his art, especially the title pages. There's such aesthetic maximalism to all his characters. That, and I love his use of heavy lines, sharp, angular edges in his lineart, and just GAAAAHHHHH I love his art so damned much. It makes me turn to my own art and say "how can I make this cooler," and especially in the aspect of visual storytelling that one can accomplish with a character's design. I'm aimlessly rambling but this is really the biggest one.

Beyond this, I've drawn from a really random grab bag of interests. There are a handful of artists online throughout the years whose work I've really enjoyed and found evocative inspiration in. Back in my teenhood I was enamored with the Nuzlocke comic community, with entries like this one and especially this one and the artists respectively, and even attempted one of my own that is now lost to the sands of the internet's endless aether (but if I'm being honest, I'd probably be wildly embarrassed if somebody found those, hahaha). Beyond this, it's a hodgepodge of inspirations like graphic novels and video games I've been super into. Halo, Borderlands, Fallout and the like all get a nod here, in that order. Zemira herself is basically an ODST. I also tend to absorb elements from more cartoon-leaning elements that I really like from random artists that cross my dash. I'd also give a nod to the 2003 Star Wars: The Clone Wars series in terms of the way it exaggerates certain features for stylistic ease.

Thanks so much for the ask!!

I have to say, I can't tell you how many times I've reread that 'Armand has a sad/low day' A03 piece of yours -- truly it's exceptional. Small things about it always stick with me. I really like the nuance with which you present Armand especially <3! You do Daniel great too <3, I have re-read that one a lot, it's always so great especially in terms of atmosphere. I also finally just realized that the Daddy piece is fiction [not just a comic, I mean], I hadn't figured it out from the summary line for some reason, and it's very enjoyable, love it! So funny <3 Also I just read the new 'low day' piece and it's SO good. I love the way you have Armand truly be himself, with all the complexities of that [ethics etc] -- so good!!!

Hey Nonny,

Thank you so much for your lovely message!

Silver Lining is one of the fics I'm the most proud of, so I'm always delighted to hear that it resonates with others!

It just occurred to me yesterday that Daniel’s flippant S1 line about Claudia not being held enough in between ritualistic murders also describes Armand down to a T. 🥲

I think 99% of the problems TVC vamps have and create for each other boils down to a deep-seated sense of loneliness, fear of that loneliness, and the desire to belong/be loved.

I think the show is doing such a gorgeous job of exploring that in Armand this season (in a just world this season would sweep awards season just on Assad's control of his facial expressions alone!) and I really needed to give him a hug after watching episode 4.

RE: Daddy.

I'd literally just finished the first draft of the fic when @verimuru and I got to talking about doing a potential collab. Based on their previous comics, I thought Daddy would work well with their style of storytelling and they agreed!

I really wanted to highlight the comic when we posted it, but I also wanted to include the 'written-out' version, because:

1) it was there and I liked how it turned out, but mostly

2) it's almost like a BTS feature in that it shows some of Daniel’s internal dialogue and how that informed certain decisions RE: the art AND shows you which elements were added while we were working on the comic. Armand really being physically in Daniel’s face, him pulling Daniel into his lap, and the way they're visually almost at the club already on pages 7 and 8 were all Verimuru's ideas, and IMO those choices elevated the storytelling SO MUCH.

I mean, 70yo Daniel Molloy literally sitting in Armand’s lap just before putting on the very expensive outfit Armand picked out for him and then saying (paraphrased), "Where do you get off suggesting I'm your sugar baby?" is just so completely hilarious to me. 😂

I've said it once and I'll say it a million times: working with Verimuru was an absolute joy! (And you probably haven't seen the last of us yet.)

I'm so glad you liked both versions! Thank you again for your ask. 😊

In the realm of superhero casting, every decision is dissected, analyzed, and scrutinized by fans and critics alike. The recent announcement that Pedro Pascal would be portraying Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has sparked both excitement and debate. While Pascal is arguably a talented actor, most say that Rahul Kohli might have been an even better fit for the role of the brilliant scientist and leader of the Fantastic Four. Here's why:

Physical Resemblance: One of the key aspects of casting for iconic characters is finding someone who not only embodies the spirit of the character but also bears a physical resemblance to them. Rahul Kohli's striking resemblance to Reed Richards in terms of facial features and build has been noted by fans. He possesses the distinct look of a scientist who spends long hours in the lab, pondering the mysteries of the universe.

Versatility and Range: Rahul Kohli has showcased his versatility as an actor in various roles, particularly in his portrayal of Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti in "iZombie." His ability to seamlessly transition between comedic moments and heartfelt drama would have been a valuable asset in bringing the complex character of Reed Richards to life. Kohli has proven that he can tackle nuanced characters with depth and charisma, qualities essential for portraying the leader of the Fantastic Four.

Chemistry Potential: Chemistry among cast members is crucial, especially in a team dynamic like the Fantastic Four. Rahul Kohli's affable nature and rapport with fellow actors make him a natural fit for ensemble casts. His ability to forge believable connections with his co-stars could have elevated the dynamic between Reed Richards and the rest of the Fantastic Four, creating a more cohesive and compelling team on screen.

Fan Support and Engagement: The groundswell of support for Rahul Kohli to play Reed Richards is a testament to his popularity among fans. Kohli has actively engaged with fans on social media, expressing his enthusiasm for the character and his willingness to take on the role. His genuine passion for the source material and dedication to engaging with the fan community could have translated into an authentic and faithful portrayal of Reed Richards.

When Ingo decided to introduce himself to the Team Galaxy member who had been resolving the Noble incidents, he was unsure of whom he expected. He heard the age fifteen tossed around, but it just felt like an odd term for him. That was still a child to him. So, as he stood outside of their home, the door sliding open left him silent.

A boy came out with features closely resembling his own. Their eyes made contact, and suddenly Ingo found himself in a tight embrace as the boy sobbed against him. Calls of dad in a language he knew better than the one of Hisui stinging his ears. The boy made eye contact with his similarly coloured ones, surrounded by an irritated red. “Dad! Where have you been? D-did you come to help me get home?” he asked quickly. The entire village had come to watch them, it seemed.

Ingo had no idea who this child was. Sure, he looked like him, but he felt like he could not have forgotten something as important as having a son. Especially, even after seeing him again. “I have no idea who you are, quite honestly,” Ingo told the boy the truth, “I simply wanted to introduce myself as We would be working together soon.”

His heart proceeded to shatter into a million little pieces after the boy's face fell. Whatever hope had been inside him was ripped away by his words. Ingo felt awful.

~

“You're in your forties,” Erin, the name of the boy, told him as they moved through the highlands together, “You had me later in life as you dedicated yourself to work and had troubled finding a relationship.” Since the Warden had begun to lead the boy around, he had taken to trying to inspire out the memories he seemed convinced he knew he lost. Ingo chose to let him try, feeling terrible about having made him bawl his eyes out during their first meeting.

“Hmm, is that why my hairline is receding?” he wondered aloud. Erin stared at him deadpan. It was admittedly identical to his facial expression most of the time.

“Dad. I don't think Uncle Emmet would have appreciated that one,” he gave a name that Ingo had never heard before. An uncle… That meant either he had a sibling, or whoever his other parent was had one. “You don't remember uncle?” Erin asked, coming to a complete stop, “… Are you sure you just hit your head? Dad, that's your identical twin brother.” Ingo froze for the first time. Identical twin… The small flashes of the copy of his face haunted his brain. They were alone in a dark cave, yet something felt impossibly bright.

“Did he like winning the most?” Ingo turned to give the boy his full attention. Erin nodded eagerly, stepping closer to Ingo with big eyes. He looked much younger than he was, his voice had yet to be completely affected by puberty, and baby fat gave him a rounder face.

“Uncle and you are competitive about pokemon battling. He is verrrry mean, though. Even when I was like super little, he wouldn't go easy on me in battle,” Erin told him with a small smile, “My partner is actually a pokemon you gifted to me.” Ingo's head throbbed painfully at his words. A small wriggling infant was suddenly heavy in his mind's arms, whining loudly about something. The baby's eyes were the same as the boy's in front of him. Ingo's chest bloomed with a cheerful warmth at the scene. Ingo continued to lead him with renewed vigour as Erin continued to tell him about his apparent past.

~

It was settled in stone when, after summoning Lady Sneasler, her first response was to try to groom Erin like she did her Sneasels. Before he left the boy to continue with his assigned duties, he placed a hand onto his shoulder. “If I am your father,” his tone was soft, “I want you to know that I am proud of you for your bravery in this odd situation. You are welcome to my home whenever you please. We're at least both outsiders in this realm, so having company that understands you is important.” Erin's big eyes were glossy. The following hug had been expected, too. Snealser snickered in her own feline-like way at the scene. Her bald kit had a kit of his own.

~

“Irida, are you certain we cannot take him in?” Ingo stopped the Pearl Clan leader without any hesitation, “He…  He's my son. I have a duty to look after him and care for him.” The blonde gave him a sorrowful look and shook her head. It was impossible for them to do without stirring up Jubilife's ire. Even a father was not allowed to take in his child after an accusation that they had cause whatever issue plagued the sky. He knew it was not Erin's fault, but the blame was easy to give to an outsider.

“I'm truly sorry Ingo, but you can't,” her tone was firm but kind, “Adaman, Volo, and I will take care of him. I promise you.” Her hand held his for a moment, a silent reassurance. Ingo swallowed. All he could do was trust them. He backed away from the woman who had seen to his care and nodded. She understood his love and care for the boy after catching them wandering around the highlands together in deep conversation. Ingo had allowed Erin to wear his tattered hat. Irida smiled and offered to speak with Jubilife about leaving him in Ingo's care instead of their own, but Erin turned her down.

He wanted to help Professor Laventon still and enjoyed the friendly company of Rei.

Ingo shouldn't have let him.

~

The teen slept nearby the fireplace while Ingo stirred the stew that was inside. Post the believed end of the world, Erin had taken to staying with Ingo almost exclusively. It was clear he feared being removed from his home again, and not all the suspicion had ended towards him. There was a still a culprit to be found, after all. Ingo could not see his son being the one, however. Erin's ghostly chandelier pokemon lit the home as the sun set behind the jagged terrain.

“Do you still not remember anything?” the boy suddenly asked, apparently not asleep as Ingo had thought.

“I recall that I had a pokemon similar to yours, vaguely of my twin, and something about a meeting with a teacher at school about your behaviour,” that last one was odd Ingo felt. Of course, his son was that way, Ingo was the same. He remembered him sobbing that the other kids were mean to him, and he didn't know why. Still, everything was bits and pieces and not the whole story.

“Do you remember my other parent?” he asked. Ingo shook his head. “Ah,” Erin turned to look out the window. “Thank you for… taking care of me, dad.”

“It's my duty as your father,” Ingo quickly retaliated, “I enjoy having you around, too. That's why you're always welcome to stay here.” Erin smiled and got up to hug him. The older man sighed at the affection, returning it after a releasing the ladle he had been stirring with.

“I'll get us home,” Erin said confidently, “You still have to teach me how to drive a train. You promised.” Ingo laughed at his son's reasoning.

“I'll help you all I can, but… growing boys need food first," he motioned to his cooking, “Let's have dinner.”

~

Erin later befriended Arcues and pleaded with the Alpha pokemon to please send him and his father home.

The god agreed.

Starburst Pattern

Cringetober2023, Day 1: Heterochromia

On AO3

Rating G - 949 words - Teen Titans - Robin/Starfire

Summary: Robin is getting ready for a trip to Gotham where Starfire will meet Batman for the first time and he's a little freaked out about it. Luckily, the heterochromatic eyes of Starfire's new, human disguise hologram prove a welcome distraction.

Story:

Robin was nervous but he was trying not to let it show on his face. His years of training in control and subterfuge had occasionally let him down in the past. Sometimes his thoughts were written all over his face. Especially to the other Titans. Especially to Starfire.  But that couldn’t happen today. Today he was bringing the girl he loved home to meet his…Batman.

Batman who believed love made you weak and relationships made you vulnerable. Batman who demanded your best then demanded more. He was Robin’s mentor of many years. He was the closest thing Robin had to a father. He was Robin’s savior, the only person who saw the rage born of his parents’ death and helped him channel it. He was Batman. He was going to crush Starfire’s heart and Robin would never forgive him.

Robin slammed equipment into a duffle bag. Raven watched him suspiciously, but didn’t comment.

Behind him he heard Cyborg call out, “Star, let’s test it out before you go.”

She flew over to Cyborg, doing a loop-the-loop before hovering in front of him. Her feet hadn’t touched the ground since Dick agreed to take her to Gotham.

“Friend Cyborg, it is a most wondrous invention. It will make be much easier to visit Robin’s K’norfka without being recognized around Gotham.”

“Make sure to tell the Batman that K’norfka in English means nanny,” Beast Boy shouted without looking away from his video games.

“Don’t listen to him. Much as I’d love to see it,” Cyborg advised as he placed a tiny device at the nape of Starfire’s neck.

Starfire’s appearance faded into a more human image. Her skin lost its orange tone. Her hair lost its wild fieriness and some of its length. 

“It’s a term of honor?” She had that lightly questioning tone. The one that said she wasn’t sure what the joke was or if it was mean.

“It doesn’t translate right,” Robin told her as he continued to pack enough tools and weaponry to escape a Justice League holding facility. “If you have to tell him what it means, then translate it as guardian.”

“Okay.” She was floating lower to the ground. 

They hadn’t even left Titan Tower yet and Batman was already a source of misery for her. Robin hated it. He hated that they’d built this silly life where they got to fight crime, but that never stopped them from being honest, kind, and open with each other. He had tried to explain Gotham to Starfire. How it would be all secrets, lies, and darkness. He hadn’t been able to deter her.

Cyborg shot Raven a meaningful look. Raven turned to Robin. She didn’t say anything. She didn’t even move her facial features into a judgmental expression. But Robin knew.

“Was I supposed to lie?”

Raven did raise an eyebrow then. “No you’re acting like he’s going to hate her. How is that not supposed to make her feel bad?”

Robin folded his arms defensively. “He would hate any girlfriend I brought home. And she’s trying so hard. She’s been talking about traditional Tameranian gifts for a month. There’s this purple oozy thing that she went half way across the galaxy to get. Cyborg has been tinkering on this human disguise for days. And why should she have to look human just to meet Batman? She’s beautiful and his opinion of her doesn’t matter at all.”

He was panting by the time he stopped talking. Somewhere along the path of his thoughts, he’d forgotten to pause and breath.

“Feel better?” Raven asked, but it was obvious she knew the answer.

“Yeah,” Robin admitted. “I just want her to be happy. Every version of this that I can think of ends up with her being miserable because of me.”

“It might end with her being miserable. You don’t have control over that. However, It doesn’t need to begin with her being miserable.” She was right. Raven was almost always right.

“MY EYES ARE SO MANY COLORS,” Starfire’s delighted scream filled the living room.

Robin set aside his doomsday packing, walking over to where Starfire examined her reflection. She whipped around, bringing her face inches from his.

“Look at my eyes. They are WHITE!” 

Robin felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “They’re gorgeous. Most humans would still call them green though.”

“Because you all have white eyes,” Starfire said. “You do not appreciate how wondrous it is. Look even the green part is many colors. I have heterochromia.”

“She has hexed chrones?” Beast Boy shouted from the couch.

Raven, who have drifted over to sit beside him, said “It means her iris is multiple colors.”

Robin stared into her eyes. The human disguise didn’t effect their light or their joy. They were clearly still Starfire’s eyes. Looking into her odd, human, heterochromatic eyes he felt the same as though they were her natural monochromatic green. He saw the power simmering underneath and was comforted by it. 

She was right that they were two tone. They were a dark forest green toward the pupil and a pale yellow-green at the outside edge of the iris.

Starfire excitedly pointed at her irises, almost poking herself in the eye. “Look how the dark green stretches out in all the little lines away from the middle. Cyborg says that it’s a—“

“—Starburst pattern,” Robin cut in. Starfire nodded. 

“Heterochromia,” she rolled the word around on her tongue. “I’ve known that word for years but had the translation a little wrong. Tamaraneans all have eyes like mine.”

“Oh, how did you learn it then?” This was a running joke between them.

“Like this,” she said and kissed him.

In terms of Worldless fanart

Exaggerated shine (AKA big cross!)

Claws for dark starfolks, especially Aven

Edda's hair being a pointy line

In general

Shiny shading (THEY'RE SO LOVELY)

Really good expressions/ eyes!

Ohh yeah I def take more from their abstract designs over their bodied designs, which I now realise is a little abnormal '._.

Also the shine is just,, so weirdly useful for indicating the way they're looking if it's replacing their head, very fun

I'm glad my expressions come across well, I OFTEN find myself struggling with them, sometimes makes me wonder why I draw so many faceless/limited facial feature characters,,

General Traits of Bimbofication - Pt. 1

The Bimbo Body

What follows is the geography of the body of a bimbo and you will typically see these physical traits and items worn that can be found emphasized in memes, media, and fashion, and celebrity writeups. Many of these features are culturally dependent and individual preferences differ even between twins so don’t be afraid to talk about what you like. There will be differences between male and female form and this list below will focus primarily on the female with some contrasting male features.

Slightly suntanned smooth skin and there is a preference for white skin. This preference of skin tone is culturally dependent but tends to be prevalent for reasons good and bad across the globe.

Narrower facial shape

Fuller lips for women and thinner but full lips for men

Darker, defined or sculpted eyebrows

Longer and darker lashes

Higher cheekbones for both women and men

Narrower nose for both women and men

Medium to larger breasts

Medium-sized or toned butt for both women and men

Styled hair for both women and men

Blonde hair for women and darker hair for men. (I tend to prefer dark hair in women.)

Heavy makeup for women and lighter makeup for men unless they are being trained to be a woman. (I often prefer no to minimum makeup as I like features highlighted but not painted.)

Slutty and charismatic clothes are items that many like to dress their bimbo or himbo up like a doll. Preferences here depend largely on the relationship dynamic shared and the activities everyone enjoys having managed for them.

No panties and playing with underwear chosen by companies to be the opposite gender are popular themes. For women, underwear may be a monthly convenience for their period, a garment chosen for one night or long-term scene play, or an association trigger like latex panties or bodysuit to transition in and out of their role.

Surrounding oneself with pink is a link to transitioning to a hyperfeminine role and association with the emotions that could inspire confidence, pride, comfort, arousal, and much more! The color associated with femininity in the United States is pink, but in many other countries yellow is the most feminine color so have her chose her bimbo uniform with attention to which one you like best.

Tattoos can be more than a tramp stamp and an MC, HD, and can also be a permeant tattoo ban so that image of purity is preserved. Tattoos can be a sign of beauty, but they are also a mark of stigma to some. The use of tattoos has been identified as a means to tell stories and to ‘speak’ to others about the values and identity of the bearer. Tattoos are kind of like sex. The first time, you want it to be meaningful but once you’re in the double digits, you’ll settle for what makes you laugh. Do what you feel most comfortable with here as there are no expectations that a bimbo must have one or more tattoos. You will see them on many bimbos you meet, because our ideas can work as an identity. Some are more motivated than others to leave a mark.

Piercings are not a given for every bimbo but they are utilized as a mark of hypersexuality, slavish adornment, and objectification by some. Piercings are a way to enhance beauty and visual appeal, but also may serve an important social function as markers of wealth, class, race, and gender around the globe. Eyebrow, ear, ala of the nose, tongue, cheek, lip, tongue, nipple, navel, and genitals are the areas of piercing and are decorated with an ornament for fashion’s sake or chosen expression. Tattoos and piercings have now become just another kind of accessorizing for many. What was once a statement about being wild, (sub)cultural identification, and alternative has been commercialized into just another fashion trend for many in the US. Many people still make negative value judgments about people with piercings — especially girls and women. Do what you feel most comfortable with here as there are no expectations that a bimbo must be pierced.

Is there something that you think should be here that isn’t? Okay, a question to think about. Can bimbos be heroes too? Isn’t Bruce Wayne playing a Himbo? And Clark Kent so innocent and making up stories where he is the strongest unbeatable man there is. Harley Quinn is as much a bimbo but just embraced the reverse of these last two heroes. Harley is a Ph.D. who was originally envisioned as the “smart girl” with a bad boyfriend trope for a hangup. Harley can shift into bimbo mode to live impulsively and has the superpower of turning the characters who interact with her into idiots. It is an implicit superpower, like the Joker’s odd immortality within the Batman universe. Many men and women enjoy trying to put Harley and those like her in her place. There is a phrase female chauvinist pigs (FCP) which you should know. FCP has been used to describe women who publicly disdain “bimbos” yet use them for their entertainment and profit. There just may be a sweet sadist subtlety enjoying the fruits of shaping these thirty tarts into bimbos to humiliate by putting them in their place, tease, and enjoy more liberally behind closed doors.

The seventeenth-century philosopher Nicolas Malebranche described women as 'feeble-minded', 'stupid', and ‘weak’ (he attributes these problems to women's soggy brain fibers). The philosopher Kant argued that women should be beautiful, not sublime. There is more than enough of this drivel to establish confirmation bias on practically any sentiment as any flat earther can tell you. Still, there is something about whispering in a woman’s ear and observing the blush starting near the tips of her toes and sliding up. Seeing her forgot what we were talking about, and everything just falling out of her brain – It’s like her mind recognizes me, opens up wide, to show me she’s there wide open for me. Her brain comes to accept that it had nothing to do with this desire that is buoying her in a seductive tide. I want you to underline this next sentence as significant and having the potential to change the path a person believes they are standing on. As every single word is accepted by her mind as a fact, and now her mind is working to make that picture a reality, because it’s such a vivid descriptive image, the mind has an easier job of it. Let’s touch on the general characteristics of the bimbo mindset.

I'm not the best at this but I'll try

Scorpio sun, 11th house could mean you are an intense, loyal, and deep person with your sun being in the 11th house it could mean that your friends/social life is very important to you and your loyal and protective of them you may be an activist or passionate about social issues

Sagittarius rising- you may come off as very adventurous, wise, free spirited, and fun you may be spiritual or the life of the party you may have a thicker body or big facial features maybe you look "exotic" or different

I'm ngl I suck at explaining the 12th house so I'll try my hardest

With Sagittarius moon in the 12th house I feel this could show you hide your emotions/have a hard time expressing them you may put on a fake smile but be depressed

Scorpio mercury 12th house may be very intelligent but again have a hard time expressing that maybe people think your dumb because of this but a very deep and analytical thinker might not talk often though

Scorpio venus 11th house- when it comes to love, beauty, and self expression your intense and passionate its all or nothing when it comes to love interests you may want someone who will love you deeply and you may want intimacy but at the same time be scared of it people may find you really attractive and may get obsessed with you or you get obsessed with them (especially with that sun, venus, mars conjunction- damn!) You may end up in relationships with your friends or want to be friends before getting into a relationship your social life must be good are you popular? Maybe even online

Scorpio mars 11th house- Most of your energy is used to chase your dreams, to network, and your social life and you may be very determined to accomplish those things

Scorpio jupiter 12th house- Idk how to interpret this so this is just a guess but maybe you have a lot of luck but secretly because I noticed 12th house placements aren't seen for example venus in the 12th house might be seen as very beautiful but may not see it or get told it often and when they do get complimented it's through other ppl. Ex. Jane said you looked nice today. I feel like the term "rejection is protection" is very true for you, you experience a lot of luck you're just not aware of it

Leo Saturn 9th house- GIRL this is crazy because I got this placement I actually talked about it in one of my posts but this can indicate being stagnant when it comes to your views on the world you may be more pessimistic you may also not be religious or higher education was hard or you just never went with Saturn being in leo self expression may be very hard for you you may have learned from a very young age that you're not allowed to be yourself maybe you learned this from elders or from school

Pisces Uranus 3rd house- Maybe you like to write or read, a sign of intelligence maybe you moved schools a lot? Idk how to interpret this really generational planets scare me 😭

Aquarius Neptune 3rd- You might even been more quiet in school might have a tendency to lie or a bad memory

Sagittarius pluto 12th house- Most of your power comes from your internal world people might mistake you for weak and a lot of change goes on internally in your subconscious mind

Aquarius chiron 2nd- May have grown up poor and struggled with confidence/self worth especially with it being the 4th degree this is a deep wound that's been there since childhood maybe you grew up in a house that made you feel unsafe may have money problems the type to be poor and when they get money they spend it all (not smart with money) material things may be important to you

Libra lilith 10th house- may have a need to be liked especially in the workplace you may be sexualized in the workplace or do something stand for work like sex work or at least considered it/don't judge women who do it maybe you find it empowering however sex is your image could indicate a bad reputation

Aquarius part of fortune 2nd house- I have this placement just in sagittarius and I'm not sure how to interpret this maybe it can show that you will become fortunate in wealth/things/self love/self confidence

Virgo mc- Can indicate joining a career in the medical field or a job where you have to be analytical might be known as critical, intelligent, and put together

Overall you're definitely introverted maybe an ambivert but with your chart ruler (jupiter) being in the 12th house it's giving introvert you may have a lot of pisces traits or come off like one also you might be tired a lot? But people underestimate you, they might think you're dumb or naive you might even be invisible to people this gives the energy of the quiet girl who draws in the back of the class remember though that other things in the chart can affect this like the houses, aspects, etc hope this helps, I tried! <3 oh and sorry for the bad grammar I was rushing because I already felt bad for responding kinda late and I'm kinda busy

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

I’m the anon that compared Larry+Taekook+Charmie shippers. You explained everything I was thinking so clearly and spot on! What you said is exactly how I think these shippers view women and Jimin alongside their ship. Especially the breakdown you provided on the feminization of Jimin vs the instances where they allow his masculinity to be validated. I don’t have the writing skills to organize my thoughts on this subject and lay it out clearly in a post like you have done so thanks for that haha.

Thanks! I also appreciate your ask, it opened the door to that examination.

The talks surrounding Jimin and gender identity are so complex though. Because I may have only looked at it from a specific shipper perspective (that of taekookers), but it's so much more than that. I think every single subsection of this fandom has its own view towards Jimin and sometimes it overlaps, other times it doesn't. It depends who is starting the conversation, from solo stans, ot7s, different categories of shippers and so on. It's like there is a Jimin for everyone, much more than other members of the group.

I do think there is a fascination for him, but to only see it from that perspective is to reduce the complexity of the conversation. The fans' views reveal their own understanding of gender and especially a misunderstanding towards masculinity and how gender expression is not static, but active, something that is constantly performed.

I'm not saying everyone does it because there are smart people in this fandom, but more often than not, they think of gender (and Jimin) through the perspective of physical appearance, body and how that body can be transformed (makeup, clothes). They call it soft masculinity because of the way he looks, because he can wear "feminine" clothes, or the makeup is more accentuated, or that he is more androgynous due to his facial features. And they oppose that to toxic masculinity. And that equation is incredibly reductive. Masculinity is also a set of behaviors and values which in broad terms are normative and part of hegemonic masculinity. A set of rules that men must follow, sometimes unconsciously.

So, looking at gender just through this exterior veil misses the bigger picture. A man can wear feminine clothing and still exhibit signs of toxic masculinity through his behavior for example. Bur cultural differences have to be taken into consideration as well. If we were to look at the idols in the k-pop industry, who all wear makeup and accesories and play with the color of their hair and call it soft masculinity, then we would be lead to believe that the industry is a utopia that finally got the answer to the acceptable type of masculinity. Which is so far from reality.

In Jimin's case, in the fandom there is always this battle between fans in terms of trying to push an agenda towards his gender expression. The ones who feminize him to the point of seeing him as a woman (usually in a negative light, or when he is part of a ship, so his behavior and physical appearance must match the woman role in that ship), or those who, in retailiation, are focusing on the display of masculinity. Which is so many times understood in his case when he "manspreads" or looks a bit more serious, or talks with a Busan accent. It's always about the way he presents his masculinity or at least how those fans project their understanding of masculinity.

And that's where the problem lies. Because they think gender is static or that masculinity and femininity must always be seen as specific set of rules, it pushes them to double down on the characteristics. I'm not sure if this term applies here or if this actually happens with the way they see Jimin, but it's almost like they create the drag version of him. In the sense that he ends up being seen through an exaggerated version of masculinity and femininity. And as much as Jimin becomes this object/subject of fascination, it also reveals the fan's personal views on gender. Which mostly happens when they look at Jimin (sometimes with JK as well, but there it's more reduced, always the struggle between macho man/dainty Koo, and with Tae, he is seen as a 50s housewife within the taekook ship).

What I'm trying to get at is that these views which hold a lot of misconceptions, have a direct impact in the roles that are attributed to Jimin in shipping narratives. We can't look directly at a ship and try and make sense of the way each man is seen. We have to start the other way, by trying to understand how a shipper/fan/solo stan/, etc. sees Jimin in terms of gender and then it will reveal their own position towards what they believe of his sexuality in the context of a ship. I'm just throwing this out there because I have no actual data on this, but my belief is that a fan convinced that they need to constantly reassert Jimin's masculinity will stay away from a ship because masculinity also involves not being a woman and not being gay (as a part of normative masculinity views, being gay means being penetrated, of not being in charge, of being submissive, aka how the women are viewed within the patriarchal system). And those who tend to feminize him are probably more prone to ship Jimin with other men because they need the one who takes on the woman role.

*I will mark this answer and the previous one as parts of my own view towards the discussion of Jimin and gender identity/sexuality in the fandom. These are part of my big project which will entail a bigger post with research materials, but these posts are necessary as well.

The Ozempic Face: A Comprehensive Analysis

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a well-known medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Apart from its efficacy in managing blood sugar levels, it has also been associated with a unique side effect known as the "Ozempic Face." This article sheds some light on the phenomenon of Ozempic Face, exploring its definition, potential causes, symptoms, and management, as well as its relevance in the context of diabetes treatment.

Understanding Ozempic

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, a class of drugs that mimics the action of incretin hormones, leading to increased insulin secretion, decreased glucagon release, delayed gastric emptying, and reduced appetite. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, has been shown to be highly effective in improving glycemic control and promoting weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes.

What is Ozempic Face?

The term "Ozempic Face" is not an official medical term but rather a colloquial expression used by patients and some healthcare professionals to describe a distinct change in facial appearance observed in individuals taking Ozempic. Reports suggest that patients undergoing Ozempic treatment may experience subtle alterations in facial appearance, such as fuller cheeks and a more youthful look. These effects are attributed to the medication's impact on subcutaneous fat and have garnered considerable attention in online diabetes communities and social media platforms.

Potential Causes

The exact mechanism behind Ozempic Face is not yet fully understood, and research in this area is limited. However, it is believed to be related to the medication's impact on adipose tissue, which is the body's fat-storing tissue located beneath the skin. Semaglutide's activation of GLP-1 receptors may affect adipocytes (fat cells) in a way that promotes fat storage and decreases fat breakdown, particularly in facial areas. Nevertheless, more research is needed to elucidate the underlying biological processes responsible for this phenomenon.

Symptoms of Ozempic Face

Patients who experience Ozempic Face typically report changes in facial features that include:

Fuller cheeks: One of the most commonly reported symptoms is a plumper appearance in the cheeks, giving a rounder and more youthful look.

Smoother skin: Some individuals notice a smoother texture to their facial skin, possibly due to increased subcutaneous fat.

Diminished wrinkles: There have been reports of reduced facial wrinkles or lines, contributing to a more rejuvenated appearance.

It is crucial to emphasize that these effects may vary between individuals, and not everyone taking Ozempic will experience Ozempic Face. Additionally, the intensity of these changes may differ from person to person.

Management and Relevance

There are no specific guidelines or recommendations regarding the management of Ozempic Face. Since it is considered a cosmetic change rather than a medical concern, many individuals do not seek treatment for this side effect. If the changes in facial appearance become bothersome to the patient, they may consider discussing alternative treatment options with their healthcare provider. However, it is essential to weigh the potential benefits of Ozempic's efficacy in managing diabetes and promoting weight loss against any cosmetic side effects.

It's important to note that Ozempic Face is not a reason to discontinue Ozempic treatment, especially if the medication is effectively controlling blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss, which are critical factors in managing type 2 diabetes.

As with any medication, it is essential for patients to be aware of potential side effects and to have open discussions with their healthcare providers about their experiences. If patients are concerned about Ozempic Face or any other side effects, they should seek guidance from their healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about their diabetes treatment plan. Overall, Ozempic remains a valuable option in managing type 2 diabetes, and its potential side effects should be weighed against the benefits it offers in improving patients' quality of life and overall health.
