//i just think its super fun and not painful at all that theres a chunk of time that reno believes that tseng is dead and rufus is probably dead and then he has to find out that not only is tseng not dead but neither is veld or like... 10+ other turks and tseng and rufus have been lying to him for months

It amuses me how, every month, tiktok feminists will try and make a new bio essensialism/gender essensialism trend and think we will not realize what they are doing. It's insane

No I meant that Lily wasn’t in the wrong for trying to change Snape in the sense of him not hanging out with bigots etc. It was futile because Severus had his own opinions about it and thought there wasn’t much wrong with it - prove of their misunderstandings and miscommunication which is essensially why they are incompatible. But in this case trying to change your friend's path who is claiming they love you and are your best friend but betray you by hanging out with people who want you dead and trying to make them see reason etc. I

is not wrong and Lily clearly wanted to keep the friendship going so if we are committed to that person and want them in our lifes then trying to change them like this isn’t wrong, because it would actually contribute to Sev's well being. I mean both Sev and Lily wanted to have each other in their lives. Idk I feel like it's okay to try to change people, if its not to the detriment of your sanity or health, its not comparable to regural interests like acting a certain way or doing certain things if they don’t harm others (in this case its wrong to try to change someone and people shouldn't be with each other if they cannot handle someone being themselves) But Severus's case was different tho so it doesn’t compare. But I see what you mean and I do appreciate your perspective.

Look, if you want your friend to stay away from awful people, the first thing you need to do is provide them with safe spaces—not gaslight them when they express their suspicions about their bullies or tell them they should be "grateful" to one of those bullies for "saving their life."

There are several moments in Severus’s memories where Lily comes across as quite lacking in empathy regarding his situation. It’s one thing to be too young to fully understand why Severus was drawn to certain people, but it’s another thing entirely to half-justify or even try to sugarcoat the actions of his abusers. That directly contradicts the idea that she truly cared for him, wanted the best for him, and was trying to steer him away from the "dark side." If she had genuinely wanted him in her life, she wouldn’t have conveniently overlooked certain things while focusing solely on what she didn’t like about him.

On another note, I also don’t think she would have ended up with the guy who made Severus’s life miserable for years. Like, I haven’t spoken to one of my childhood friends in over eleven years, but I can assure you I would never hook up with the guy who caused her to develop an eating disorder at sixteen—because there are certain unspoken rules that people with common sense should respect.

I still don’t think they could have had a relationship, and honestly, even without their dramatic "falling out," I believe their friendship would have naturally faded over time. It’s pretty clear that Lily’s interests and ambitions were headed in a different direction. And that’s fine—those things happen in life, especially with childhood friends who, as we grow up, no longer have anything in common with us. That’s just how I see it.

Design for Bumblebee.

He wants to be your friend, but maybe that desire is a little childish. He and the trottlebots are tasked with scouting out the earth and going on independent adventures!

Bumblebee is everyone's friend, or at least he tries to be. a young and cheerful minibot, always eager to learn more about the world and the people in it, bee is a simple kid, and that makes him likeable but bee is more capable than he lets on, and dislikes being seen as leser

Bee is the second in command of the throttlebots, a team Essensially set up to trick young bots like him into changing and growing as people, bee thought he was there as the teacher but is surprised to find out he had as much to learn as everybody else

As time passes, the team grows, and old members mature and leave to pursue their own goals, but bumblebee rises to lead and remains as the central core, the only member present every iteration of the team Bridging the gaps and keeping in touch with everybody.

Bee was built by a paradronian, a historian named Shutter, and was raised speaking a paradron rather than the autobot lenguage, as much as he goes on about understanding and learning from others, bumblebee never actually managed to learn a diferent lenguage, instead he relies on built in translation tech to comunicate, it is very advanced science fiction universal translation tech but if the wifi goes down..

Well, anyway, he and cliffjumper were chosen to go to earth by optimus prime because of their experience in varied enviroments and due to being small and energy efficient

Okay see, the thing is Derap is manipulative and a liar and wrong about most things. But, hes fighting for Zam to live. He doesnt want Zam to die. Hes trying to convince Zam not to essensially kill himself. He cares and wants to 'save' Zam.

All this talk about Natsu going exit game made me remember a theory that doesn't get brought up often enough in my opinion. How do you feel about the possibility that when Lucy rewrote the Book END she accidentally became its new author? essentially replacing Zeref and the connection to Natsu's lifeforce. So, if she dies, so does Natsu.

I feel like that theory is so on brand for the original series, that as Natsu's new author, he and Lucy share a connection. If Lucy's badly hurt, it physically affects Natsu, you know? I'd seriously love for that to be true.

Looking at it from another lense though, I suppose it would suck for Natsu to only ever get to experience life in a sort of co-dependency. He would die if Zeref were to die, now he'd die if Lucy did. It's one of those things i'd end up mourning, becuase at the end of the day, I don't want Natsu to only live life in regards of someone else. He should have access to everything that it offers, no matter if a certain person dies or not.

If we added a part to this theory though, I'd be more intrigued again. Because what if rewriting the END-book meant that Lucy had to offer a piece of her own soul for it to work - as an author this sort of adds up, since I often feel that I end up sharing a piece of myself though my works. Lucy sharing her soul with the book that carries Natsu's life would also mean that if Natsu were to get harmed, so would Lucy - the sensory link would go both ways. No one's safe, their souls are interlinked. That's the sort of dependency I could support, mainly because it would mean that they both would suffer from it.

In addition to these theories, I feel like it could be interesting to add another criteria to the original "Natsu dies if Lucy dies" thought - as long as Lucy's alive, Natsu can't die. He could be blown to pieces, but he'd have a sound mind as long as Lucy would. It could end up with some pretty bad horror scenes, but it sure would be interesting to see if Lucy would be the type to build a body for Natsu, essensially making him an anderoid, or if she'd end her own life to save Natsu from suffering.

[is-hinata-good-today]

fun fact about Hinata's (proclaimed) stupidity:

In the octogon scene in Japan, Nagito just straight-up started speaking a different language and the way English translated it made it look like Hinata's an idiot.

In the Japanese version of that scene, Nagito spoke English, and people are essensially calling Hinata stupid for not being fluent in two languaged.

:O oh wow, i had no idea that was the case!! it certainly makes the english version make a bit more sense now with that context xD thank you so much for sharing - you really do learn something new every day!!!!!

[kinkteez]

are any members autistic, and if so, how does that affect how you in this poly dynamic? for example, if someone is more likely to get overstimulated during a scene and safe word, or needing clear instructions to do something because they don’t want to accidentally be bad

A/N: This is a poly-ATEEZ kink ask blog! Feel free to ask any of the eight members a question! :) Reblogs are very appreciated!

[Seonghwa, Yeosang, San and Jongho all raise a hand, then look at each other and burst into giggles.]

San: Quite a few, as you can see! And it comes out a little bit differently for all of us. For example, one of the big things for me is that I don't really lie, and I trust very easily. It just doesn't really pop up in my mind as a possibility, nor does the thought that other people might be lying. This is not to say I always tell people 100% of the truth - that would kind of be problematic being an idol. But I pride myself on being as honest and authentic as I can. And I strongly prefer when others are as well.

Yeosang: I have that same thing too, with lying and being... Sort of gullible. I'm aware of it though, and I try to remember that people might be lying to me. Though... I never think about it with the members at all. And because of this, I've gotten pranked quite a bit. Sannie has as well. But we've talked about it as a group, and we both said it was not upsetting or anything like that. We trust the members to not actually want to make fools out of us. And that they do those things in a good natured way. I feel safe with them. They aren't making fun of me because they think it's dumb that I'm easy to trick, they prank me because they want to make me laugh.

I have other symptoms as well. I have kind of a hard time communicating, and knowing when to communicate. Just like, when is something I'm thinking about important enough to tell someone? That kind of thing. And then if I decide it is important enough, how do I say it? Kinda wish I could beam my feelings and thoughts into the members' brains so they'd know without having to tell them.

This does have an impact on both our polycule as a whole, but also in scenes. It's kind of really really essensial that I let people know immediately if something is upsetting me, but I found out pretty fast that I have a hard saying that. So we've found workarounds where I don't have to say anything at all. I just tap people a couple of times until they notice. And then they'll know I have a problem I need addressed, but don't know how to bring it up. If my hands are tied up, I get a little bell I can throw on the floor.

San: And this has worked really well for you, right?

Yeosang: It has, it was a very good idea. And it's such a simple solution.

Jongho: Simple but effective. I could feel the relief on you after we set up the system this way.

Me, I have a bit of a thing with certain textures. It mostly comes out when it comes to certain types of fabrics, and sometimes with things that are wet or sticky. Apologies for being gross, but I think if I accidentally touched someone's cooling cum on a sheet, I'd die instantly. Yeo and Hwa, you have things like this too, yeah?

Yeosang: I do. Certain types of bedsheets and top mattresses are not very breathable. If I get all sweaty on something like that, suddenly, it's just too much and I feel so unbelievably gross. Like, it needs to stop immediately, and I can not think of anything else until I'm away from that. We've figured out what these types of sheets and mattresses are so we can avoid them at home, but it sometimes comes up when we travel. Generally, the more plastic'y and dense something is, the less I like it. Memory foam is my worst nightmare.

I also have a hard time with some types of food. The biggest one is potatoes. A big, steaming potato... There's no way I'm trying that. It's so dense and starchy, and I want to spit it out immediately. Sometimes bread can feel sticky too, and I can't deal with that at all. Makes me feel like I'm gonna choke not in a fun way.

Seonghwa: [Snorts out a laugh at the innuendo] I have texture aversions too, though nothing to do with food. I'm an equal opportunity food enjoyer. My thing is more with sweat, especially as it cools. If we've had a bit of a rough session, I need to get up pretty fast and change the sheets, shower, and get into fresh clothes. My partner needs to do the same, if they want to keep cuddling. I'm happy to help them, of course! That's often part of the aftercare. But yeah, I can only make myself stay in a post coital cuddle pile for like a minute tops, then I'm moving. Sweat feels gross and itchy on my skin immediately, sometimes during the session too, but it gets worse fast as soon as we stop. Most of the time, I opt to be naked or almost naked for scenes and sex, since it makes it easy to get away from wet fabric in a hurry.

This has been a bit of an obstacle for performances as well, because I sweat a lot and very easily. The stylist team are very good at looking for things that won't feel terrible for me when wet. But unfortunately, sometimes I have to compromise.

Jongho: Another trait I think is my autism, is that I can get... I guess kind of bored of a scene, if it doesn't feel right. Doesn't happen often, because I'm good at keeping it within the "feeling right" perimeter. In essence, I need to feel emotionally connected to my partner or partners. We need to be connecting; to have a link and to be communicating. I need to be able to tell that I'm doing something they enjoy, if I'm the one in control. If I can't feel that connection, like if they aren't responsive or if I can't tell that they're enjoying themselves... It's over. Kinky and sexual intimacy are very vulnerable, and if I can tell the other person isn't into it the same way I am, I'm going to end the session. There's just no working with that, for me.

With the members, this almost never happens. I know how to read them, and I know how to re-establish a connection if I feel it slipping away. And they know it's important to me, so they do what they can to not even get to that point. If it happens, it's probably because my partner was too tired to scene and didn't really realize before we started. And it's okay, it happens, I just lose interest and can't keep going.

This is a bit of a topic change, but I think autistic kinksters might actually have a bit of an advantage when it comes to communication. There are a lot of negociations and clear, defined rules when discussing kink - and saying things clearly without censoring them can be an autistic trait. It's the same with, for example, listing temporary rules during a scene. Unless ambiguity is part of the game, you want those to be clear and literal. And often times, autistic people speak more literally, and find it easier to understand literal things too.

All four of us have this trait, to different extends. As Yeosang said, he can have a little bit of trouble communicating, but I think that when he does communicate, he says the things he wants to say very clearly.

Seonghwa: Mmh, I agree, and it's wonderful. It's important to know what's ruminating in that pretty head.

Jongho: Very important, we want our Sangie to be happy.

Yeosang: That's it. I'm going to blush on purpose.

Seonghwa: You're not gonna hear me complain about getting to see a blushy Yeosang~

A lot of my autism comes out in the shape of special interests. I've had a lot over the years; lego obviously, different books and movies, video games, fashion, skin and hair care products... And of course, I love to tell all my boyfriends about these things, when they have the time to listen.

In the past, I've sometimes had a hard time noticing if someone was getting bored or even annoyed with me. It can be hard to stop once I start talking, because I keep remembering more and more cool little things I want to share. The excitement for the interest kind of takes over.

I've asked the members to just tell me when they're too tired to listen. We're often very busy, and sometimes you just don't have the energy to listen to a bunch of stuff about Animal Crossing, even if you do want to hear it. And I understand that! I just need people to tell me if they'd rather save the talk for another time. Because sometimes I can't tell, or I forget to look for the signs. And... It hurts when someone keeps not telling me to stop, and then get annoyed with me. I'm not sharing those things to annoy anyone. It's the opposite; I share the things I care about with people I care about.

San: It's so, so endearing, hyung. I hope you never stop doing it. I could listen to you talk for hours about anything.

Jongho: Simp.

San: [Grins] For Seonghwa-hyung? Always!

People get so weird about relationships with more than one of the same secondary gender! (Not that they aren’t weird about alpha-beta-omega relationships but at least there has been massive pushback in the past century to allow a ‘pack’ relationship to be considered equivalent of marriage between any/all of the members legally, even if it’s heavily implied and expected that the beta is *really* just there as an extra caregiver or provider *never both* and people don’t like when said beta is actually romantically involved with their alpha and omega partners)

People are always so weird about an omega living with two alphas. Everyone is so ‘concerned’ about the poor omega being overwhelmed by having two competing alpha scents in his house! For one, if you have one or more siblings and an alpha parent, statistically there were likely more than one alpha in *your* house. For another, ‘competing’ *competing*??? If you can’t tell by watching that every ‘fight’ between Sapnap and George is just playfighting you need to get your eyes checked! Not only can two alphas ‘share’ an omega, they can love each other too!!! So people saying only DNF or Dreamnap are possible and expect one alpha to ‘win’ dream and the other leave…that’s crazy. Besides, clearly George is ‘alpha’ to both of them, they absolutely have a ‘pack’ dynamic going on.

Exactly! Like. First of all, have you fuckers ever gone outside. Do you think omegas are unable to sit at a fucking bus with more then one alpha in it.

Or school! I sat every day most of the day with multiple contrasting scents in my class. Yeah sure, it wasn't the most pleasant, 30 qnd a lot scents at the same time will always suck, but no one was fucking dying

(Tho I will admit, most of us had dulled scents. The things high school does to you)

I feel like I'm almost like. Stating the obvious or repeating what you said when I say this, but the way Betas are treated is so unfair.

They are valued people and partners and people need to stop acting like Betas are just glorified wet nurse.

Don't even get me started on how little sex-ed there is for Betas. It's bad for everyone of course, and bad in all terrible and different ways, but like. There's people who don't know Betas can't go into proto-heats and ruts. I've met people irl who think all Betas are noseblind!!! Is absolutely insane

Sorry, coming back to the dteam, or else I'll start screaming about sex-ed.

Anyway.

And with the dteam it goes straight back into that issue of gender essensialism. Alphas are not fucking mindless animals??? And the Dteam have been friends since they were goddam pups!!!

It's so obvious that people don't understand that snf have their own important and valuable relationship. I absolutely hate the idea that they're trying to ""win"" Dream. Sapnap flew all the way to England just to comfort him!!! That's not the kind of stuff you do to someone you're competing with.
