Hi hi I’m relatively new to MotoGP so I don’t know if you maybe made a post about this before already but! What’s the accent variety like in the Italian lads? Bc I learnt Italian for a year and I loooveee love picking apart accents and silly lil language things but I’m just not used enough to spoken Italian to identify any variation from the standard. I’ve been told tho that Bez has a notable accent but do any of the others as well?🤔

accents ask accents ask stay calm! (sorry i am. very passionate about accents) also disclaimer: i am very much not an expert! i'm just having fun here

okay so, all the italian riders (that are important to me) come from one of these three places: Emilia-Romagna, more specifically Romagna, even more specifically near Rimini*; Lazio, more specifically from Rome; Piemonte, more specifically from around Turin.

*only exception is dovi who was born a leedle more in the inland. but only a leedle.

Here's a map where I have circled the zones of interest

(yes the circle around Turin is enormous it's because I'm not searching on google maps the minuscule ass place cele lived in)

You can hear the Romagnolo accent in Bez, Vale, Enea, Luca, Dovi, Mig, with various degree of intensity. Luca is probably the one with the less strong accent, but it's still very identifiable. There are of course still some differences in the way they speak (i noticed that for some reason Vale tends to open his e more than bez, sometimes making a ⟨ɛ⟩ sound rather than a ⟨e̞⟩ sound). Their accent is caractherized mainly by the way they say the s, the z and the c, that they tend to almost hiss. Here's an example of Bez saying his surname, and somebody from another region saying it. (first the person with the other accent, then bez)

In the audio you can also hear the e thing i was talking about: in Romagna they tend to close it more then they do in some other places in the north (for example the other guy is from Lombardia)

Between all of them, Bez's accent is probably the strongest. I once said that hearing him talk feels like being slapped in the face by a piadina, and I will repeat it.

Both Franco and Diggia are from Rome, but to be honest, Franky's accent is almost unperceptible. Really difficult to clock. Diggia has a stardard Rome accent, but not that strong. People from Rome have a very distinct accent (and also probably one of the easiest to do) characterized by the frequent use of dialectal terms. You can hear it for example in the c and g, that tend to be a bit more guttural, and the l tends to become a r. Also, due to the dialect thing, they tend to cut the verbs: for example fare becomes fa', andare becomes anda'.

For the Piemontese accent, we encounter a slight problem: I am also from Piemonte, and therefore it's harder for me to clock how strong the accent is. The main thing that you can hear about this accent is the o, that tends to become more of a ou. Prime example in this baby cele clip, when he says 'porte'. Adorable. Also, around Turin they tend to close the e (while we, from the secret location i'm blogging from, tend to open them). People from Piemonte also tend to say 'neh' a lot, but I don't have clips of Cele saying it because it's quite informal. I might try do to a deep dive later. And I can't say much more about this accent because as I said, I can't really hear it.

You might have noticed that pecco is nowhere to be found in the list up until now. That's because his accent INFURIATES me. He's from Piemonte but doesn't have the accent, and instead has a slight Romagnolo accent. Here's a clip from this year's Sanremo that made me cry in pain.

Another thing you might have noticed is that the guys from the northen regions (Emilia-Romagna and Piemonte) will frequently put an article in front of people's names, even if grammatically incorrect. Il Cele. Il Bez. Il Pecco. L'Enea. Il Vale. We just do that. You will not catch Diggia ever saying it, because people from the centre and south of italy just don't. do it.

I hope this was somewhat idk. interesting? useful? if you have some more questions do ask i love to talk about these things

Detective (Agatha x Rio) Detective x FBI Agent AU

Summary:

Agnes was finally put back on a case but what she wasn't ready was for who else would be put on it. Based this off of the first episode but basically took out any and all of the witch stuff. Basically Detective Agnes x Agent Rio

Notes:

Tumblr finally let me post this fic! Please tell me if there's any misspelling or grammatically incorrect stuff, I have dyslexia so sometimes I miss so stuff.

Agnes woke up for work the same as she did everyday, with not enough sleep and a raging headache. She always wore the same outfit claiming that it “made it easier”. In reality, she knew it was from her laziness and didn’t have the effort to pick out different outfits daily. Which in fact led her to wearing her usual flannel and jeans as she always did. She went downstairs to get her much needed coffee, while waiting for her machine to finish she was stuck with her pile of files of her ongoing case. She was stuck with a Jane Doe and couldn’t figure out by any means who she could be. Agnes had been wandering all over the town for any clues for weeks now with everything leading to dead ends. She knew it was gonna end up with the chief sending in a third party and if there’s one thing Agnes doesn’t work with, it’s people. She hated having anyone else have control of her cases or have control of anything in her life. The beeping of her coffee machine broke her out of thought and she went to go fill up her thermostat. Finally she was all ready to go back to the station, able to go back to what she was good at and loved doing, solving cases.

“Morning Detective” said the police officers outside the station greeting Agnes back to where she belonged. “Morning boys, don’t get into too much trouble out there” she said back joking at the officers as she used to. Walking through the sliding doors she let out a breathe she didn’t know she was holding. It had been a while since she had been put on a case as big as this one and she didn’t want to fuck it up, not like before. “Agnes! We gotta talk” greeted the chief, walking towards her with an already stained shirt. “Chief we talked about this, if you’re gonna make breakfast smoothies you need to put a lid on, you already have two stains on your shirt” she said walking towards her office. “Oh, thanks Agnes but I ugh…” said the chief trying to get the stains out with a handkerchief he had. “I can already tell, you’re gonna tell me something I don’t like,” Agnes said, stretching in her office chair. “Soil samples from under the fingernails and toenails of the Jane Doe came back. They don’t match the soil she was lying in” he stated, still trying to take the stains out. “That’s no surprise. We assumed she’d been moved.” she retorted, still trying to get rid of a kink in her back. “There were traces of a particular microbial sediment only found in Eastern Europe-" "Now get to the part I’m not gonna like” she interrupted him getting annoyed with all the bullshitting. “Here I am,” a woman behind the chief said. Agnes sat semi shocked but she knew it was coming. This wasn’t just any other third party brought in on her case, it was Rio. Memories hit her back like a freight train, every I love you, every I hate you, and the worst of all, Nicholas.“Okay…” was all Agnes could say, she hadn’t seen her in years and as much as Agnes hated to admit it, she was just as beautiful as the day she left her, if not even more. However, she wasn’t going to let Rio see that.”Fancy dirt always attracts the attention of the Feds” she said, fixing her shirt to make sure Rio didn’t see how pathetic she had become. “Agent Vidal is an asset here, Agnes. More brain power and more resources mean you get to the finish line faster, strength in numbers.Teamwork makes the dreamwork-” the chief said knowing how much this was going to backfire but was once again interrupted by Agnes. “Eat my ass, Chief” she said, hoping he would leave the situation and not add more fuel to her ongoing fire. Rio couldn’t help but laugh a little bit, after all these years Agnes was still the same,still stubborn, still hot headed, still attractive . “I’ll leave it to you then” said the chief, leaving awkwardly.

Rio couldn’t help but scoff a little bit as she went to sit on the couch in Agnes’s office. “It’s been a long time” Rio couldn’t help but say with a bit of endearment. “What are you doing here?” said Anges with a harsh tone, not ready to face her ex-wife. “My job.” said Rio with her usual snarky attitude. “You wanna take control of my investigation.” stated Agnes with pointed eyes. “No” Rio said with a breath still thinking about how they used to be. “If you wanna be in control, you can be.” stated Rio, knowing how much Agnes hated anyone else being in charge of her cases. Agnes couldn’t help but lick her lips, still trying to keep on the topic of the case and not on Rio. “She…” Agnes paused for a bit, getting distracted by Rio. “The body was moved across state lines. Is that your play?” she stated, trying her hardest not to break in front of her ex lover. Rio looked around the room for a bit and couldn’t help but think of how they used to be. “Is this really how you see yourself?” Rio stated, keeping eye contact with Agnes even after getting no reply. Agnes knew the game she was playing, Rio always loved to play games with Agnes but she knew better than to give in right now. “Sure. Let’s talk about the case. What are your theories? How’d she end up in the ravine?” questioned Rio, seeing that Agnes wasn’t going to give in so easily. “No drag marks. Thinking the perp carried her” “Uh… Seems logical. But you don’t really believe that because… Oops.” Rio paused showing pictures from the scene.”No tracks for the perp. Not a leaf disturbed before Forensics showed up. It’s almost like she just magically appeared.” Rio stated, taking a seat on Agnes’s desk. Agnes couldn’t help but scoff a bit “Let’s stick to reality here, yeah?” “Sure” said Rio calmly, nodding her head in agreement. “If there’s one thing we can agree on,it’s that these cases are always about the place. The specific small town,the history of it, the people in it, the secrets buried beneath it. That’s where the answers lie.” she said keeping eye contact with Rio. However, Rio couldn’t help but look away and nod. She took in a breathe, thinking how typical it was of Agnes to not think out of the box. “Well, who better to solve the mystery than one of Westview’s very own? Yeah, you’ve lived here your whole life. Isn’t that true… Agnes?” Rio questioned, keeping eye contact once again with Agnes, hoping that she would at least break this time. Agnes was over it, she was done with Rio’s game. She got up and stood in front of the door, “I don’t want you here” she stated, letting Rio know she was done. Rio knew she was almost there but didn’t want to push it. She got up and started walking towards the door. “Te veo” Rio told her before leaving, she always had to have the last word.

Agnes couldn’t help but still be in the office till late, trying to solve the case. She was getting close to something, she could feel it. However, it just wasn’t making sense, to Agnes it had to be logical and make sense in some way but everything was leading her into unreal or unnatural. There was clues of something dark and sinister behind it but that didn’t work for Agnes. The supernatural wasn’t real or true to her, it needed to be something based in reality. “Go home Agnes” said the chief seeing Agnes was still in. “Iam home” stated Agnes, trying to hone in on a clue just as the light went out. “Hey!” yelled Agnes. “Go home.” stated the chief, not taking no as an answer. So she did just that, tired and achy she put her jacked and badge on the living room table. Seeing Rio had brought back too many memories that she had put away. She couldn’t help but go into a room she had looked at in years. Nicholas’s room. The memories of having him and being so happy with him and Rio came flooding back. Before she could even start crying about it again she heard a knock at her door. Swiftly she closed the door to go see who could be at her front door at this hour. “What” she stated annoyingly as she opened the door. What she didn’t expect was to see Rio, clearly holding something behind her back. “Did you know that it is a universally acknowledged truth that a lady cop cannot be good at her job and have a healthy personal life at the same time?” Rio stated, showing the pizza box she had hidden behind her back. “Hungry?” she questioned.

Agnes doesn’t know why but she let Rio in. At first it was awkward but after a couple beers and some pizza it was like they had never left each other. Rio couldn’t help but stay longer than she wanted to and next thing they’re having more beers and sitting in Agnes’s living room. Agnes sighs and continues her story “So she’s a rookie, granted, but I say to her, “Has the suspect been seen in the last 24 hours?” And she says, “Only on TikTok.” And then I say, “Well, did you learn anything?” And she says, “That I was totally using the wrong foundation brush.”” Agnes says laughing at her own story. Rio laughs along with her but can’t help but be enamored by Agnes, all these years later and she still feels the same way around her. She should equally be upset at Agnes like she is at her for leaving her all those years ago but she never could. She could never hate Agnes, she could only love her. While Agnes is still chuckling she hands Rio another beer and takes a sip. “I have a lead in the case.” Agnes states after a bit of silence. “That’s not why I came over.” Rio stated, trying to see if she could get her to break. After a bit of silence Rio gave up and said “But go ahead.” ”There was a car wreck, about an hour before time of death.” stated Agnes, not ready to face the actual topic of Rio yet.“Where?” Rio questioned, remembering she had an actual job to do sometimes. “Eastview.” “Eastview? See, I thought you turned into a pumpkin that far afield” stated Rio, knowing how much Agnes hated traveling and loved staying in her small town. “Hey, I travel. I’m worldly.” stated Agnes, knowing that it was a full on lie. Rio couldn’t help but chuckle, knowing that Agnes was bullshitting and just had to call her out on it, “Where have you traveled?” Agnes knew she was fucked and couldn’t say anything, Rio had gotten her this time. While Rio enjoyed moments like this, she couldn’t help feel a bit bad for Agnes and changed topics, “Okay, so what about the car wreck?” “Bloodstain in the back seat.” “You think that’s how they moved her?” “Front two airbags deployed.” “Maybe two perps?” “Maybe” Agnes said with a sigh, she knew there was more to it but didn't know what. “But you don’t like it” said Rio, still able to read Agnes like the back of her hand. “My gut tells me they’re related, but I can’t shake this feeling I’m seeing it wrong” said Agnes, still unsure of what she’s suppose to be seeing. “Can I ask you something?” asked Rio, unable to control herself anymore. “Yeah.” said Agnes without really thinking, she was still too focused on the case. “Do you remember why you hate me?” asked Rio holding eye contact. “No” replied Agnes almost instantly. “Are you hiding evidence?” she asked. “No” replied Agnes again almost instantly. “Well, you’re only lying to yourself.” stated Rio, taking another sip of her beer. “What do you-” before Agnes could finish asking her question she heard a noise coming from upstairs. She got up after she heard another rumble and checked her bedrooms upstairs. That’s when she saw the precipitator, “HEY! FREEZE!” she yelled and ran to get them but they escaped from the window. If there’s one thing Agnes wasn’t, it was a pussy so she said fuck it and went through the window. Only problem is that she wasn’t as in shape as she used to be and when getting down from the roof to follow her perp, she ended up slipping from the roof gutter. She didn’t care though, she got up and continued on foot to follow them. Luckily Mrs. Hart was driving and had almost hit them which gave Agnes enough time to get them while they were down and arrest them.

Agnes took him to the station but not without calling in Rio. Agnes doesn’t know why she called her and Rio doesn’t know why she actually showed up but here they both were. At one point in time this was how the two of them were, good cop bad cop. Well in reality, two bad cops just one was psychological and the other was your typical mean cop. “Well, he won’t give his name and he’s not in the system.” Agnes told Rio looking at them through one way glass. “First offense. He take anything from your place?” Rio asked, still not sure why she showed up for this. “No, but not for lack of trying. I think it’s time for a good old fashioned chat with Edward Scissorhands in there.” Agnes said ready to go and do her “bad cop”. “Go get your perp.” said Rio looking to the side, trying to suppress the feelings of old times she was having. Agnes stood there for a minute also reminiscing on themselves before nodding and heading in to get her perp.

“So I’m curious.What compelled you to break into the home of a decorated detective?” Agnes asked as she leaned back on the door. “When you say “decorated”, do you mean suspended without pay?” The teen boy asked while Agnes gave him a pointed look. “Yeah, I know who you are.” He said not caring what Agnes would do to him. “Let’s talk about you, then, you little dirtbag. Is B&E your regular gig?” said Agnes, still trying to put her best bad cop. “Hmm? ‘Cause you’re crap at it.” she said as she walked around the table.”What were you looking for in my house?” Agnes said while putting her files down on the table. “The respect of your peers and a fulfilling home life.But you were fresh out of both.” said the teen boy but was almost immediately on the ground after saying so. Agnes didn’t care anymore about keeping it tamed, she kicked his chair under. Rio grunted, knowing that this would happen and knocked on the glass giving Agnes a finger wave, she knew she always found it cute when she did that. Rio had always been the one who grounded Agnes when she got fired up, she always knew just what to do or say. Agnes put her hands up as an apology and let the teen get back in his chair. “See…The things that you’re roasting me for are the things that make me dangerous.” Agnes told the teen, which was very much the truth. Ever since losing Nicholas and leaving Rio, Agnes didn’t have anyone to control her, which is what led to her small suspension. She was now an untamed fire that stopped caring about anyone and everything. If anything the teen was lucky that Rio was there or else the situation would have taken a whole other turn. “So you wanna keep poking the bear?” Agnes asked him, giving the teen an intense stare that he could not look back to. He was finally intimidated by the detective and Agnes could tell. Her bad cop was finally working.”Good. Now…What were you after?” she asked, wanting to get this over. “I don’t know” he said unsure why he was doing what he was doing. “New question. Where were you last night between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 a.m.?” she asked not satisfied with his answers. “Asleep. In bed.” the teen told her honestly. “Asleep in bed.” she repeated while writing on a note pad. “Total LOSER? OR TOTALLY LYINGGGG, LET’S FIND OUT” she yelled while overexatrally writing everything on a note pad.”What do you know about this, huh?” she asked, showing him pictures of the body of the jane doe. “Nothing. Nothing!” He yelled looking at the pictures. “Tell me who she is!” Agnes demanded, now getting tired of his incorporation. “What are you talking about? These are just flowers!” He exclaimed, still not sure what she wanted from him. “What?” Anges asked, taken aback from his response.

“They’re just pictures of someone’s front yard or something” He explained, still not sure what answer she would want from him. Agnes looked down, she brought the wrong pictures. She had such a mess of files that she fucked up and brought the wrong pictures. “You got to be fucking kidding me” she exclaimed as she left the interrogation room. “You really got him right where you want him, don’tcha tiger” Rio told her just to tease her a little bit.” Don’t even start right now Vidal” sighed Agnes, still embarrassed from what happened. “Just let the kid go for now Agnes, I really don’t think he’s one of the perps sweetheart” Rio told Agnes, hoping the endearment would calm her down. Agnes sighed, still angered she knew Rio was right, Rio was always right. “Why don’t we let him go, I drive him home and then I’ll take you home, that sound good?” Rio asked in a soft tone that Agnes hadn’t heard in a while, god how she missed this. “Yeah, that sounds good, lemme let him out” Agnes said with her eyes closed, still taking in the whole situation. Agnes went back into the interrogation room “Alright, you’re free to go, Agent Vidal and I will be giving you a ride home, I know you didn’t want to give me your name but maybe you’ll want to give it to Agent Vidal” Agnes told him, holding the door open. ‘What?!? But I- I broke into your home! You chased me and everything?!” He asked in total shocked, ready to be stuck in a jail cell for the night. “Yeah well, I changed my mind, consider this a warning especially since you're a minor” Agnes said not looking at him. “Thank you, you’re not as bad as people say in this town” He said getting up and out of the room.

The car ride was awkward to say the least. After dropping off the teen the car was as silent as could be. Rio pulled up to Agnes house, unsure what to say. “Th-”said Agnes “I-” Rio interrupted, making them both shut up. “You go first, I’m sorry” said Rio. “Thanks for everything Rio. I uh, I missed this” Agnes said, not able to face Rio. Agent Vidal couldn’t help herself and touched Agnes hair, causing Agnes to moan. Agnes couldn’t help herself and turned back towards Rio and hugged her tight as she could. The both of them had been longing for each other’s touch since they saw each other. However, neither of them wanted to be the first one to break. Agnes pulled back and cradled Rio’s face, she noticed her lipstick had slightly smudged and fixed it with her thumb. She couldn’t stop herself anymore, she caved. Agnes moved in and kissed Rio, fuck their stupid game. She didn’t care anymore about not giving in, she broke. After a while they separated. “Stay the night, please” Agnes asked just above a whisper. “Of course” Rio responded, she couldn’t say no to Agnes, she never could.

Noisy little mess

Hi cutie!

I've, incredibly, keep on writing the same fic for one time in my life, so i'm posting the second part of the first part (obviously) of the whatever i've wrote.

I like writing. It's a little difficult switch from my italian kinda writing skill to the english language.

I feel less poetic in english. More...meh. Dunno.

Anyway, we do not have that much of a smut content in here, just...talking. A lot of talking. I like dialogues.

Sorry for every incorrect grammatical things, i hope i haven't made a complete mess.

DISCLAIMERS: not that much of a smut thing, anyway is GhostxReader, arguing, terrible nicknames, gym, blame shifting, not having breakfast, recalling of behaviours that shouldn't belong to a military base but oh well.

..................................................

First part is here:

https://www.tumblr.com/tassodelmiele/746173281244151808/noisy-little-mess?source=share

..................................................

Next day, you skip breakfast.

Your ass hurts like hell, you've got bruises on your neck and it seems like you've gone through a fight with the full cast of a Jason Statam's kinda film.

You rush through all the damn base like crazy, avoiding smiles and greetings, in search for that goddamn man who has to give you explanations.

'Cause that sort of thing doesn't happen between two who barely speak at breakfast. 

'Cause you may find muscles attractive, but you've never told him you like him in particular.

'Cause he almost ravaged you, without even saying "goodnight".

And 'cause you've liked it. But that's not necessarily to be known.

You're about to go straight to the training camp (you've seen Soap nearby, and he's Ghost's shadow), when the wanted finds the detective: a door suddenly opens, and you bump into his goddamn big chest, almost drowning your nose in that rock solid-muscle softness pile.

Ghost looks at you like he's just stepped on a candy wrapper. You open your mouth, ready to yell:

«ok, now you're going to tell me, sir, what in the actual fu-»

Then, Price gets out of the office too. And your face blushes with the brightest red.

«…sorry»

«'s nothing. We've finished»

It seems like Ghost's trying to make you comfortable, and that just gets on your nerves. You look at the captain walking away, and before having the opportunity to speak again, the lieutenant has grabbed you by the shoulder and pushed you in his office.

You do your best not to trip over your feet, almost making a pirouette to face him as he closes the door. You open your mouth, prepare your lungs to yell like a fucking eagle…and he stops you, cupping your face with all of the grace he's capable of, looking at you through his goddamn scary skull mask and spells:

«I'm sorry»

And your brain goes blank. 

You squeeze your eyes; you weren't ready for this. For a scold; for a joke, for him to make fun of you, for you to break his terrible per holder on his face…but not for this.

«…what?»

«I'm sorry. Fucking sorry, ok?»

«Yeah, yeah» you scroll his hands away from your face. «I'm sorry too for having my ass burnt and my fucking neck disassembled, that's not the point»

«I was just saying-»

«You were saying nothing»

«If you-»

«Sorry for what? For your kinks, or your lack of asking consent? Go on, i'm listen-»

And he ends up squeezing your face in his hand, glaring at you while you just stay still with your cheeks pressed together and your arms crossed, raising an eyebrow.

He sigh.

«You've caught me off guard»

You muffle, widening your eyes, about to try to say something but his grips tighten a little.

«Let me fucking finish! Bloody hell, you weren't so noisy yesterday! My god…look, 's not a great time to restrain instinct, ok? I'm not saying that you've…awakened something. You're not my type, anyway»

You start to move again in his grip, trying to punch him, but it's so easy for him to stop you.

«I just want to apologize 'cause i've acted by instinct, and is no good. And 'cause I've hurt you, of course»

He stares at you for five seconds before releasing his grip, and the first thing you say is:

«…not your type? Seriously?»

His eyes widen under the mask.

«You…is this really what you're interested in? Out of everything I've told you?»

«You haven't told me that much»

«What the hell-»

«And you're lucky i've liked it, otherwise i would have smash the whole set of weight on your face»

«Yeah, Yeah, sure, a gnome like you»

«I'm a gnome in berserk armor»

«Still a gnome»

«Fight me»

«I'm not wasting my time in a prison for your dead body»

«...weak»

«…don't you dare, rookie»

«Rookie a pair of nuts»

«Watch you fucking mouth»

«I can't do it, there's no mirror in here»

«…ok, maybe your murder is worth a life in prison»

«You're eating away your guts just 'cause i'm having the final say»

«No, but i'm going to eat your guts anytime soon» 

«Try me! Fight that fucking gnome! Then, you're gonna make better apologies»

«My apologies were flawless»

«You said i'm not your type! After…after making a mess out of me!»

«I've said, if you would have listen, that I was lead by my goddamn instinct»

«Yeah, and since when instinct tells you to ravage alone girls in the gym?»

«Since when i've heard you-»

He suddenly stops. Your mouth is still open, ready to talk back, when he starts to push you by the shoulder in order to get you out of his office immediately.

«Time is finished» he says as he tries to get rid of your presence.

But you're not ok with him.

«Nonononono, don't you even-»

«I've told you everything i had to»

«Fuck your excuses! You didn't even make me come!»

That wasn't a challenge. But somehow Ghost's brain classified it as such.

And the same night, in the gym, different machines…you spot him looking at you.

And your panties get instantly wet.

«No» you suddenly say. He gets closer.

«"No" what?»

«No. I won't»

«What?»

«Don't tease, you know "what"»

He doesn't listen to you, and starts a whole different topic: 

«Wanna know something fun, kitty?»

«Can you find another nickname, please?»

Ghost's eyes make a turn under the eyelids, as he repeats: «Wanna know something fun, gnome?»

You make a pout, and he goes on:

«you've been the only one with enough guts to yell at me since fucking forever»

«Well, you've been the only one to touch my panties since…fucking forever. We're fair»

«…you mean it?»

«What?»

«No boyfriend? No sex? Never?»

«Never. Don't make fun of me»

«Why should i?»

«Dunno. An almost thirty years old is suppose to have made something in her life»

«You're working. And living. That's enough»

You're about to grab a weight, but you leave it there, looking at Ghost through the mirror.

«…oh»

He raises an eyebrow.

«…oh? That's the most sensible thought you've got?»

«It's just…i've thought…well…»

«What? What was that little brain of your thinking?»

Your face blush like hell as he comes closer, every step of him is a skipped heartbeat for you.

«I-i've just…i've thought that someone like you may be more…demanding?»

«You don't know me» he towers you in all of his highs «little gnome. 'S dangerous making assumptions on your enemy without collecting intel, don't ya know?»

«You're not an enemy». You swallow, finding yourself hesitate. «…i believe»

«You don't seem so sure about it»

And then he gives you the most threatening, close up encounter with his mask, leaning on you like an eagle on a mouse.

«How come, little gnome?»

You swallow. Than you remember he's your fucking lieutenant, and you're in the base gym, and there shouldn't be nothing to worry about, really. And you feel like an idiot, blushing and lowering your eyes. You decide to use his weapons against him:

«…it's dangerous making assumptions on your allies without collecting intel»

And he stares at you, seeming happy with your answer.

«You do are a brat, don't you?»

«I'm the cutest rookie in the entire base»

«Someone's going to make ya eat that goddamn tongue of you»

«They're just jealous»

«'s not like that»

«…No? Than w-»

«You can't talk back to your superior. You'll end up getting in trouble»

You instantly blush, blowing your cheeks.

«I've never-»

«You're doing it right now»

You blush more, become as red as the goddamn Snow White's apple. Your mouth is finally shutted, and he seems proud of his work. You try to make a step back, gaining some distance between you and his massive body…but he follows you. He follows you and he gets closer, trapping you between him and the weights rack.

«I…don't think i like brats that much» 

Ghost is not touching you, but somehow you shiver under his voice as he's drilling your ears.  

«I like you more with your little mouth shut»

The last word is perfectly underlined by his voice; another shiver down your spine, and you try to fill the silence to not explode under his presence:

«I'm afraid i'm not that good at staying silent, sir»

And he grabs you by the cheeks, squeezing them in one hand without effort, leaning on you as his gaze catches your red face:

«You did a great job yesterday, kitty»

And you melt in your panties. You do it with a little bit of regret just 'cause you'd rather endure a little bit more. You're about to say something, even if you know that as soon as you open your mouth the only thing that'll come out is a moan, and…

He releases you, so suddenly you've to concentrate not to lose balance, stumbling on your feet. He grabs a weight, announcing dramatically:

«But i've seen you've got your mouth fucking open the 90% of the time. That's why you're not my type, little gnome»

«But…you've searched for me»

He stops, holding the weights silently; he's not looking at you, but you know he's waiting for you to keep on with the speech. You swallow again, your throat is almost dry now.

«I know you've heard me. That night. You've heard me…touching. And-»

«So what? You were loud»

«Not that much- anyway, you've come in the gym just for me, i know it»

«No way»

«None come to the gym that late»

«But you were there»

«I'd a busy day- but that's not the point! I wasn't even watching you!»

He hiss a: «liar» in the middle of a curl. You cross your arms.

«…ok. Ok, MAYBE i was, but just for one goddamn sec-»

«So you do like me»

«FOR GODDAMN-»

You shut your mouth, biting your lips before saying something that could cost you way worse than a scolding by your superior. Your feet stomp till the biggest weights you can lift, and you start your rdl sets, knowing you're gonna hurt your back.

But he's looking. He's looking through the mirrors (too many goddamn mirrors in this gym) and it hurts your pride how he's acting like he doesn't care that much. So you take a deep breath, and while resting after the first set you spit it out:

«So you've touched me just 'cause you've felt like discharging some frustration?»

His arms suddenly stop moving. He turns his gaze at you, watching you directly this time, as you keep on:

«'cause, you know, since i'm not your type i can't find other reasons why you should've come to do those things. My appearance doesn't turn you on, so you've just found the first random person to use»

You lift the weights again, ready to release your bomb:

«So childish. It's not that mature for someone in your position»

You have no time to get aware of him who's just thrown his weights on the floor, reached you in two big steps, and now he's taking your weights from your hands like they're light butterflies, also throwing them on the floor.

He's towering you again, fists clench and hazel eyes on you.

«…it's your fault»

Your eyes widen. You've expected something different.

«Uhm…what?»

«That's why my apologies were good enough for you. 'S just your fault»

«What the hell of a fault did i-»

«You did it on purpose. Those…those fucking sounds of yours, your bloody behave, everything. Goddamn. Everything»

«How?? How could-»

«I don't know, you bloody witch!»

«So learn to know yourself better!»

«Maybe you could behave like a normal human being!»

«I was!»

«Liar. Bloody liar, you've spent the most of the time jerking on every fucking chair you were touching»

«You're hallucinating»

«And you've walked with closed eyes if ya didn't even notice what the hell you were doing»

«I'm not some animal in heat!»

«You looked so!»

«You could've just asked me to stop instead of wetting your hands in my panties!»

«I-»

This is his time to bite his lips, choking words behind the mask. He stares at you, and you return the glare, arms crossed and ice cold eyes on him, pretending not to feel the wetness in your underwear.

He sighs.

«I could crush you with my bare hands»

You stay still, eyes wide open, hands buried in your sweatshirt, asking yourself why the hell does he seem so embarrassed out of nowhere. Ghost sighs again, louder, blowing hot air away as if he's trying to discharge his lungs from something heavy. 

«It's been days you walk everywhere with those goddamn swallowed eyes of yours, adjusting your panties under the uniform, trembling at the tiniest touch…what the hell did you expect? To not be noticed? You, a little whimpering knot tied on itself?»

Your mind gets blind for a second.

You listen with your eyelid twitching. It is…unreal. He's not describing you, that's what you try to get in your brain, convincing yourself that you've not behaved as he's saying. 

You start to mutter through your teeth: «…but…no, no way, i'm not that-»

«Shameless? Dunno, have you ever tried looking at your fucking face in a mirror?»

«I-»

«Look little one, if you don't believe me, just ask someone else. Everyone have noticed»

«But-»

«'s not that i'm scolding you 'cause of your hormones. I'm just explaining myself»

«You…you're not explaining shit!»

«I am»

And he leaves you like this, curled on yourself, insecure and embarrassed. He turn on his heels, sending you a few last words:

«Ask the others 'bout it. The answer will surprise you»

(general photosensitivity warning)

i made a reel of all* the songs i made in 2024 since tomorrow is new year's :). sorry if this posts twice i tried posting from my computer and it didn't work soooooo.... -_-

sorry for any oddities i used my sucky video editor for this one.

i have funny and silly notes for each song that i will put under the cut.

1. VXXCTIM - (tw transmisogyny mentions - skip to next one if it upsets you) this song is about my anger towards transmisogynists (namely TERFs) who equate womanhood and being female with suffering. which i believe leads to a lot of people transitioning to male when they don't actually want to, but they believe it'll make them safer. incidentally, even though i don't mind being called a girl, i hate being called "female."

2. The Eternal Damnation of Dorian Gray - this song is about someone whose ass i hate so fucking bad. not dorian gray. this isn't a picture of dorian gray fan song i just wanted to include literary references for the sake of it. also this uses both of kiyoteru's V4 voicebanks (well, trial versions of them)

3. Fake Bouquet - this is one of several songs venting about my inability to make music good enough to get attention. fittingly, no one has specifically told me they like this song outside of the comments they felt obliged to leave on the video.

4. SAVIOR☆SLAYER - i bought prima specifically to make this song that doesn't use her. (i needed a full V2 editor so i could properly edit the VSQ, since i used miki's V2 demo. vocaloidheads like me will understand.) i REALLY wanted to make a song instrumental comprised entirely of the gameboy audio chip emulator included in LMMS (freeboy) and i like how it turned out :)

5. PUTRID FACTOR - since i bought prima i might as well use her. and i think she has a lot of potential as an eerie horror vocalist that not enough people utilize, so...it's up to Me.

6. COR AUT MORS - not included in this reel since it has no PV, it's a bonus track bundled with PUTRID FACTOR on bandcamp

7. Darling Mine - i consider this my first song to organically (i.e. not due to any sort of collaboration) hit 1k views :)!! i'm very happy about it. and it's cathartic cuz i made this song after a certain somebody made a song not only with the exact opposite message (my message being "your obsessive love does not make you a monster" and their message being "your obsessive love is scary and traumatizing even if you do it from a distance") but also it was made to demonize the mental health struggles of a close friend so, yeah. fuck you [redacted]. watch your ass [redacted]

8. TERMINAL! - last year(?) after making my 2nd song using old OS aesthetics for the PV i jokingly said "stay tuned for the song in 2024 themed around mac computers." and then i realized there is a vocaloid (macne nana) (plus her little sister petit) that not only has a trial version, but also was conceptualized as a mac themed vocasynth. so i said, "🤔" and then made this. the art was animated using lipsync which is an old program used for old vocaloid PVs, i wanted to invoke the feeling of "kind of obscure nico nico upload from 2008" which is why i also tried drawing in an amateurish chibi art style...

9. ali li seli lili. - this is a remake of a 2021 song called "subete wa atatakai" that was written in very bad and incorrect japanese. i was originally gonna remake it in grammatically correct japanese but then i hyperfixated on toki pona (a conlang) so i rewrote the lyrics in toki pona. aozora hoshika is an UTAU created and voiced by one of my close friends, who is also a producer by the name of Starscape-P (formerly known as Amitai) (and even more formerly known as castalia but only true fans like me know that)

10. Password Recovery - this song was made for the collaborative album RANAgain10, made by celestrai to celebrate rana's 10th anniversary! but i don't own rana so i had my friend darling (darlingkisses01) render her for me. it's about being abandoned/ghosted/slowly drifting apart from online friends that you still feel a connection with but they don't care about you anymore. This Has Never Happened To Me

11. Popular Girl Pariah - my first song with maki :) it took me a long time to get around to buying her considering she's my favorite synthv. this was my first attempt to make something resembling modern pop music except i don't listen to a lot of modern pop music so hopefully it sounds cool and not "how do you do fellow kids."

12. Suicide Battery Heart Detonation - my first song to organically reach TWO thousand views :)!! i was really pleasantly surprised because i thought everyone would think it sounded like ass. this song is about my music sounding like ass, after all. i did also specifically write the lyrics in a way that could also be interpreted as overworking yourself to death. that doesn't apply to me, if i was overworking myself i'd probably be a LITTLE more successful, right?

13.「AI」 WILL SAVE YOU - fun fact this song title is derived from a scrapped lyric from the previous song (which was "i know 「AI」cannot save me"). i conceptualized this song before i titled it though. the video was inspired by local58 but the song was inspired by [PRIVATE INFORMATION REGARDING MY MENTAL HEALTH]

MY DYSLEXIC ASS AFTER I RE READ MY GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT POSTS FOR THE 1278281TH TIME, KNOWING I CAN'T FUCKING CHANGE MOST OF THEM

[rayclubs]

I know this probably comes out of nowhere, but I randomly remembered some hundred years ago you posted asking for language-related questions on the blog and also another time you mentioned being a native Russian speaker to talk to, so I’d just like to pose one question if it’s ok.

Are there any grammatical mistakes natives make in speaking/writing the language (either as dialect or in informal situations) that you’ve noticed, and are there any which seem more natural to say or read than the “technically” correct approach ?

Hi, sorry this has been stuck in my inbox for forever, but yeah! I'm assuming you mean Russian speakers making mistakes when speaking Russian, and yeah, we make a ton of mistakes.

Incorrectly stressed words: saying красивЕе (incorrect) instead of красИвее (correct), дОговор instead of договОр, etc, nothing else comes to mind right now but there's a ton of these. Forgot to translate, the words mean "more beautiful" and "agreement" respectively.

Attributing the wrong gender to words - кофе (coffee) is male but people call it an "it" instead of a "he" in Russian. Though that's technically not a mistake as of 2016 since they re-gendered it, kind of. SO many snobs were pissed off about it lol

Wrong words! Just. Words that do not exist. Old-timey, village ass words. Тудою-сюдою, тама-тута, евоный / еёный / ихний / нашний. I kind of love these but that's because I'm a forever "commonly accepted linguistic norm" apologist.

Using wrong prepositions or cases. "Скучать за кем-то" instead of "скучать по кому-то" (miss someone), "согласно контракта" instead of "согласно контакту" (according to the contract), etc. English doesn't have cases so it's hard to explain what's wrong with these, but they're pretty common.

There are more but they're kind of individual and situational, I can't categorize them meaningfully. Hope this was at least somewhat informative, again, sorry about the wait!

Asahi Azumane || Steeped in Love ☕

MINORS/AGELESS BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT || 18+ ONLY ||

|| ao3 version | series m.list (pending) | hq tag | m.lists | main blog ||

His love is like the warmth that seeps into your hands as you cradle a steaming mug, his kiss that very first sip of your favorite blend…

↠ Inspired by my all-consuming love for Asahi, ya know how it be. Prompts taken from this list.

↠ Requested By: No one, technically. ((but my girl @screamin-abt-haikyuu mentioned that Asahi’s tag was looking a bit bony these days so here I am answering the call lol)) ↠ Reader Gender: Neutral ↠ Content Type: SFW fluffy-fluff ((but this is still an 18+ blog, my dudes, so minors need to keep away)) ↠ Chronology: Post time skip. ↠ CW for my alluding to Asahi’s dad being a traditionalist prick. I don’t go super into detail here, but suffice it to say he wasn’t exactly thrilled over his son’s ‘softer’ hobbies. It’s a v. brief mention tho, but I thought I’d give y’all a head’s up just in case. ↠ Also no betas—we die like grammatically incorrect men here. ↠ Total WC: ~11.6k ((…I need help…))

Lemon Tea || What are mornings like with them?

↠ As we’ve seen in the anime (i.e. that one scene where Noya’s rude, crackhead early bird ass blinds everyone by throwing open the curtains), Asahi isn’t exactly a morning person.

↠ Absolutely the type to set four alarms, all staggered by five minutes, and starting ten minutes before he actually needs to be up. Dude may hate waking up, but the last lingering vestiges of his social anxiety means that he actually really hates being late for stuff as the potential for being stared at because of it is a big ol’ nope for him.

↠ Luckily for him he can do a fair bit of his work from home if he so chooses.

↠ …personal HC time? Personal HC time.

So we know he becomes a fashion designer, yeah? Well I like to think that he was able to get a fairly decent job straight out of school, but like obvi it was entry level. The fashion house he worked for mostly dealt in eveningwear, specifically gowns, with their sister house focusing more on suits and the like.

Personally he always preferred designing women’s clothing over men’s as there’s just more variety there, but gowns in particular have always held a special place in his heart thanks to his grandmother. She was an opera singer, and while she never received a level of international acclaim, she was p. famous in her home country. As a result of her profession she had a sizable collection of gowns.

Whenever they spent time together—which wasn’t nearly as often as either of them would have liked because she lived in Tokyo—they’d always end up in her massive closet, sat on the cushy chaste lounge with tea and cookies, while she showed him her gowns and told him about the memories connected to each one. He found the intricate stitching, elaborate bead work, fine materials, and flattering cuts to be just as interesting as the stories themselves, a thing that tickled the woman to no end.

Eventually he tried his hand at drawing some mock-ups (because I am 100% convinced that homie can draw, you can try prying this HC from my cold, dead hands but you won’t get far). Sometimes he’d make exact replicas other times original pieces, with his efforts getting better as he got older and more versed in drawing/designing.

And his grandma, god bless her, kept every last one of the sketches that he gave her. Had a special binder with the little plastic sleeves and everything to preserve them. She was one of the kinder, more gentle people in his life, always encouraging his artistic abilities and just generally nurturing him/cheering him on.

She was definitely the first person to encourage him to take up sewing and clothing design as a legitimate hobby in hopes that it would potentially lead to a career. She even went so far as to get him a sewing machine for his birthday one year.

To say his dad was… less than amused by this would be an extreme practice in understatement. Without getting too into the darker aspects of the way I personally canon his childhood, suffice it to say he was forced into sports shortly thereafter. Luckily he actually liked volleyball and had a natural affinity so it wasn’t too traumatic a thing for him.

Looping back around to my original point—he has always loved designing gowns, but everything reaches a point of stagnation. A few years in he starts to get burnt out and restless, but he’s doing well (both monetarily and position-wise) and honestly has no real reason to complain outside of a lack of inspiration—a thing, that for creative types, is akin to torture.

So to make a long story even longer, he starts drawing up designs for menswear on his own time. Not only is it a complete change of pace, but he can be a potential solution instead of complaining about the lack of options. Designs range from formal pieces to streetwear, the latter of which he never paid too much attention to once he graduated.

He’s always been more of button-down, peacoat, Chelsea boot kinda guy, so while he did appreciate the expression of vibrant colors, bold patterns, and baggy cuts it was never his personal aesthetic, yanno? Once he started designing it, however, he kinda fell in love?

This eventually leads to him changing tracks, and that eventually leads to him starting up his own company which leads us to present day.

↠ Why yes that was indeed just my really convoluted way of saying he’s a self-employed designer, thanks for noticing lmfao…

↠ Because of this he can work from home p. much whenever he wants, but he finds that he’s more productive when he’s in a dedicated space. He does have a home office, but… it’s still at home lol. Some days he’s disciplined enough to pull it off, but most days he’d rather just bite the bullet and go in. Plus he thinks it’s better for his employees to have him on site just in case they need him for whatever reason.

↠ On days when he’s going in to work he’s simultaneously draggy and efficient in his movements. He does everything damn near in slow motion, but he somehow manages to get done in a timely manner, like??

Umm, sir, how???

If you don’t have to be awake yet he’ll take care not to disturb you as he goes about his morning routine. Result vary as his coordination is kinda shot for like the first ten or so minutes after waking lol.

If he does wake you he’ll try to lull you back to sleep with gentle hands and shushes, sheepishly promising to make it up to you somehow should you fail to drift back off.

If you never wake in the first place he’ll press a sweet lil kiss to whatever part of you he can reach easily, telling you that he loves you and misses you already and that he’s looking forward to seeing you again when you both get home. He’ll give you one more peck, and after telling you that he hopes you’ll have a good day, he finally takes his leave.

((Uggggh. He’s so precious, somebody stop this man ;n;))

If you have to be up at a similar time he’ll greet you with a quick “Hey sweetie” and a kiss, but don’t expect to get too much conversation out of him until he’s dressed, aka at the end of his routine. It takes his brain that long to boot up enough to offer up a more substantial response than a grunt of acknowledgement lol.

Ofc this doesn’t mean that he’s not listening, and if you have something important to say he’ll do his best to focus and respond, but honestly he’s so out of it when he first wakes up you might as well just wait a bit if you can (or better yet talk to him about it the night before if at all possible).

Definitely has one of those fancy coffee makers with a timer so that he always has a fresh pot hot and at the ready. If you don’t drink coffee he’ll make sure to have your beverage of choice ready for you as well, perfectly made to your preferred specs because he’s thoughtful like that.

Will also make sure that you have a thermos of water to take with you because if his former years of being an athlete has taught him anything it’s that hydration is hella important. He’ll legit scold you if he thinks you’re not drinking enough water or just not taking care of yourself as well as you should be in general, but that’s a HC for another day…

In a similar vein he’s v. much into food prep so he’s usually able to whip  up something simple for breakfast. He prefers to have warm stuff in the morning, regardless of the season, so miso and rice is his go-to, tho if he wants something a bit more refreshing/lighter he’s not opposed to a parfait or maybe a bit of fruit and toast.

Really likes western style breakfast foods too, but can’t be bothered to cook them most mornings. In fact breakfast food are kinda his overall favorite. Because of this you have breakfast for dinner at least a couple of times a month; the style of said breakfast varies based on what you’re both in the mood for.

↠ If he’s working from home the process is p. much the same, just done slower because he’s not as tightly bound to a schedule as he otherwise would be. His day still has structure, naturally, but he’s a bit freer to take it at his own pace.

↠ On days when you can both sleep in tho? Oh. Boy.

Hope you like having 6+ feet and like 200 pounds of man curled around and-or on top of you lmao.

I personally canon him as capping out at 6’3” because I am a giant ~heaux~ for tall, beefy men, but that’s beside the point. Asahi’s a big boy that can dwarf most people, at least in height (and really everything else too, like have you seen him?? He’s so broad I wanna climb him ;n;)—that’s it, that’s the point I’m trying to make here.

He’s also p. clingy when sleepy. In fact I see him as being v. touchy with his s/o in general. Not exactly clingy in his waking hours per se, but rather just very physically affectionate. It’s one of the main ways he expresses his love, but like only with those extremely close to him.

It’ll probably surprise you how touchy he gets once you get deeper into your relationship, as he was always v. careful to be respectful when it came to touch at the start of things. Back then he was always so worried about making you uncomfortable—blame the phantom whispers of ‘He’s so intimidating!’ and the like that still curled around in his head—but if you’re at the point where you’re sharing a bed he’s obviously over that bit.

He’s what we in the business like to call a ‘strong cuddler’, meaning that once he’s got your ass in his kung-fu action grip you’re gonna be hard pressed to get out. If you do manage to escape he’s gonna try to pull you back in, so uhh, you might want to move fast lmao. If he can’t find you he’s gonna whine until you either give in and join him or he knocks back out.

He’s one of those people that can sleep for like twelve hours straight if given the opportunity, so sleeping in until noon isn’t unheard of. The thing is tho, he has no real reason for it. Like yeah, occasionally his work’ll keep him awake well past his bedtime, but for the most part he keeps decent hours.

He’s just one of those people that can sleep a lot ig, but at the same time doesn’t actually need to?? So long as he gets at least six hours he’s good. It’s weird, he’s weird, but he cute so we’ll let it ride.

↠ He loves to cook with you just as much as he loves to cook for you, so whenever y’all get up he’ll insist on making breakfast.

He’ll rarely if ever leave the task up to you alone, not because he thinks you’re incompetent, but because cooking’s one of those things that he equates with a really gentle and caring form of love.

His mom was a housewife, and as such she always made sure that her family was well fed. She always told Asahi that every dish was made with love, and he believed her; he could almost swear that he could feel all of the care and adoration that she had for them in each bite.

And so now he sees food as yet another way to share his feelings with you. It’s a v. subtle a thing, one that you probably won’t even know the full depth of unless you ask him about it (which I really have to insist on because seeing him with his cheeks glowing as he explains it to you is a sight that you need in your life, trust me).

Basically it allows for him to express his care in a way that doesn’t come off as being ‘too much’ or smothering—impressions that he still worries about giving off from time to time.

If you’re really insistent on being the sole chef that day just turn it on him. Tell him that you want to be the one to look after him today and he’ll fold like a gd accordion lol. Just be prepared to have him watching your every move like some love-sick thing. He’ll give you the gooiest look from where he has his head propped up against his palm, mouth set in a sweet lil smile and his cheeks lightly flushed and ahhhh~

((I am S A W F T for this man, do you hear me??))

However breakfast shakes out, you’ll end up eating it in bed. Is this a good idea? Eh… I mean, there has been a spill or two, but who’s counting? Asahi certainly thinks that the comfort and excellent company make up for any messes that may occur.

You’ll be talking about everything and nothing, with the conversation flowing easy thanks to how well you’ve come to know each other. Seeing him so comfortable and carefree is just so lovely, like yes bby, thrive, if anyone deserves it, it’s you!! ((I’m just really out here flashing my simp card hard tonight, huh?))

If you don’t have any plans for the day he’ll totally advocate for spending a bit more time in bed…

…What you do or do not get up to will be left up to your imagination/discretion lol.

If you’re just chilling he’ll be up for chatting more or you can pull up a show on your laptop or even browse through your socials on your phone; he’s not too picky so long as he gets to cuddle you. This’ll go on until you’re either both out again or the day demands its due.

↠ Overall mornings with Asahi are simple affairs filled with a quiet affection that will linger throughout the day, regardless of if he’s around to actively share it with you or not.

Peppermint Tea || What do they get excited about?

↠ Personally I don’t see Asahi as being an overly excitable person. This isn’t to say that he doesn’t get hyped over stuff, but rather that it’s rarely a super overt showing. Naturally there are things that can pull a super visceral reaction for him, but if were talking just like regular-degular excitement he’s more on the low-key side.

↠ Usually the easiest way to tell that he’s super into something is the fact that he won’t stop talking about it. It’s a subconscious thing, and if he actually realizes that he’s doing it he’ll stop immediately as he doesn’t want to bore and-or annoy people. ((As if his rambling isn’t one of the cutest things ever, smh…))

↠ Unsurprisingly he talks about you a fair bit lol. That’s the one topic that he’ll go on about at length with no real qualms. After all, you are one of the most interesting people he knows, and others should have the pleasure of knowing you, even if it’s just through his words.

↠ Aside from your relationship he’s still got a love for volleyball so that’s a thing that’ll get him going.

Definitely has season passes, and is an ardent supporter of MSBY as well as the Adlers. He refuses to pick a side as each team hosts his former teammates and friends and are thusly both deserving of his love and support lol.

Tho he would love to see every game live that obviously isn’t a realistic possibility so he settles for recording them instead. Will avoid all forms of social media until he watches said recordings so as not to have anything spoiled for him.

Regardless of if it’s live or not, he’d love it for you to watch it with him. If you’re just not interested he gets that, it’s not everyone’s thing, but if you are prepare to get a crash course in Volleyball 101 from Asahi Azumane, former Ace lol.

If you’re watching a recording he’ll be pause it as often as he needs to, to explain things or answer any questions you may have. Same goes for a live game, sans pausing, ofc. You would think that this would cut into his enjoyment, but it actually adds to it. He’s so happy that you’re willing to share one of his greatest passions with him, and more than a little proud to be the one to teach you about it.

But if you’re already and avid and well-learned fan? Bruh. He’ll legit spend hours talking about the intricacies of the sport as well as debating you on various topics concerning the game/players.

…may or may not get a little weak in the knees if he hears you talking volleyball with your friends because wow, my baby’s so into this, and so knowledgeable too! It’s so cute, you’re so cute, and he’s so cute too, I honestly cannot…

↠ Other than that he’s more people focused, so he gets really excited for the things that those closest to him are excited about.

The new season from that series you love about to drop? Hells yeah, go on a tangent about the thing and take him with you, pls lol.

Suga’s class all passed their latest test and he’s all smiles because of it which means Asahi is likewise beaming when he tells you about it. He’s so damn proud that you’d swear they were his students.

Hinata just posted a pic on his Insta about something that’s got him hype and Best Boy’s among the first to comment, matching his fervor with a flurry of emojis and an abundance of exclamation points.

I’ve said it before, but dude’s hella in tune with the emotions of those around him, and if said emotions are positive he has a habit of parroting them. With most that would have the potential of seeming disingenuous/annoying, but with him it’s so apparent that he’s genuinely happy that it doesn’t come off that way at all.

↠ Now as far as fashion goes, while he is passionate about it, it isn’t really something he talks about too often unless something really strikes his fancy. By his estimation that’s a hair too close to shoptalk, and he’d rather leave that type of stuff for work hours. Ofc if you want to gab about it he’s more than willing; talking about it doesn’t bother him or stress him out or anything like that, it’s just not something that he’ll go on about on his own, yanno?

Chamomile Tea || What is their sleep schedule like? Does it change around their s/o?

↠ I kinda touched on this in my first answer, but for the sake of the prompt…

↠ Aside from his ability to sleep for disturbingly long times, it’s pretty standard. This is due in large part to his work hours being set. Providing a project doesn’t require him to work through the night, he’ll be in bed no later than midnight; as he doesn’t usually wake until eight am that gives him a full night’s rest.

↠ He may not be an early bird, but he’s not really a night owl either. He’s not super big on late nights as they tend to throw off his sleep schedule which only makes mornings harder on him.

↠ Your sleep schedule doesn’t affect his too much as he goes to sleep late-ish anyway. That said, he hates the thought of leaving you awake all alone, so if you’re pulling an all-nighter for whatever reason he’s gonna stay up with you. The occasional late night doesn’t bother him, but if this becomes a regular thing you’ll start to see the wear-n-tear fairly quickly.

↠ If you are prone to staying up all night, he’s gonna look into helping with that regardless of the reason. Sleep’s super important to your health, so if something’s messing with that—be it an asshole boss and-or co-workers piling more on you than what’s fair or insomnia or whatever else—he’s gonna try to find a way to lessen the strain.

Earl Grey Tea || How did they court their s/o?

↠ He kinda doesn’t??

↠ If you’ve read my Love You Like I Do series, you’re well aware of the fact that in my… lore? I guess we’ll call it?? But yeah, in that things between the two of you start off rough. You just unnerve him so much, casting away all of his hard earned calm with even the most innocuous of actions. This leads to him avoiding you when he can, tripping over his words (and actual objects) when he can’t lmao.

↠ Eventually he gets ahold of himself enough to pursue a friendship with you, with things progressing from there until he’s finally blurting out a confession at you—and I do mean at you because this was in no way planned nor were either of you prepared for it.

The pair of you are just chilling out, yanno laughing and just sharing the space, when he looks over at you and thinks, They’re perfect. They’re prefect I can’t do this anymore.

The first half of that thought is common enough as he’s been down bad from jump, but not even he is entirely sure what his brain means by that second part—well not until his lips start moving without his permission that is lmao.

He word vomits months, possibly even years’ worth of repressed adoration at a speed that you can barely even comprehend. What you do manage to catch is that fact that he doesn’t think that he “–can be your friend anymore” and that leaves your heart dropping into your stomach.

Your dread and sorrow must be showing on your face because now he’s apologizing for burdening you with his feelings, and you’re trying to reassure him through your own pain that’s it’s okay and if he wants to part ways he shouldn’t feel bad about that, and then he’s all like–

? ? ?

!!!

On the one hand he’s relieved that you’re not rejecting him yet, but on the other you look like you’re on the verge of tears and this is not how he wanted this to go, at all, but he’s here now and he’s gotta make it right. And so he steels himself with a deep breath before gathering up your hands into his own and trying again.

The contact is unexpected as this is hardly a thing someone who’s trying to end a friendship would do, plus there’s the whole ‘he rarely if ever touches you casually let alone like this’ bit. But you’re too confused (and low-key shook) to do much besides go with it, so you just hold on to him as tightly as he’s holding you and listen.

By the time he’s laid out the whole of his feelings your eyes are glassy for another reason entirely. You’ve been feelin’ him for a long time now, maybe even as long as he’s been down for you, so to suddenly find that your feelings are not only reciprocated (a thing that you suspected but were never entirely sure of) but can now manifest themselves in the form of a relationship??

I think it’s fair to say at that point that you have ascended lol.

Asahi definitely sheds a few tears himself once you agree to be his, and if you cry as well it’s gonna turn into a full on feels-fest. But as I said in my other HC, if you want to reset him just give him a smooch. It doesn’t have to be anything too involved—hell, it doesn’t even have to be on the mouth. Just press your lips to his forehead or even just the back of his hand and watch him bluescreen lmao.

He’ll flush a vibrant shade of red from scalp to sole, all the while stuttering and trying to hide his face away in anything that’ll cover him lol. It’s cute af, but try to resist the urge to tease him too much or he might legit combust.

↠ So yeah, you guys never really have a traditional courting phase as you just kinda shifted your friendship over into something heavier.

↠ Still, friendship with this man is a very tender thing that’ll leave you fantasizing about a romantic relationship more often than not. So maybe the whole of your friendship was a courtship? Idk man. He’s just so attentive, always making sure that you’re well taken care of and looked after to the point that people would often mistake you for a couple, a thing that never failed to make him blush even as he (reluctantly) corrected them.

↠ Once you’re together he’ll curse himself for the first little bit over his own hesitation. Had he just bucked up he could’ve had you like this sooner, but ‘spilled milk’ and all that noise. He doesn’t allow himself to dwell on the past for too long, and why would he when he’s got a hundred thousand happy tomorrows ahead of him with you at his side?

Milk Tea || What are their kisses like?

↠ At the start of things they’re always sweet, short, and chaste.

He doesn’t want to come off too strong, doesn’t want to risk spooking you with all of the pent up passion he’s been harboring for so long. Even after finding that you’ve felt the same way for an extended period as well, he’s just… He’s still v. cautious.

Though he’s gone on more than a few dates, they rarely ever progressed beyond that. There were a few promising candidates, people that he could call his partner even, but it never lasted past the three month mark. Ofc he was sad over this, but never overly so. Even with as much as he liked those people they never endeared themselves to him in the way that you have. You’re the first person he’s been able to see a future with so he’ll be damned if he does something to scare you away now.

So yeah, be prepared to endure a lot of pecks that won’t really lead to much for the first little bit.

↠ Once he gets more comfortable, however…

Asahi’s got one of those kisses that’ll steal your breath away—not because it’s really hard or intense, but rather because it’s so reverent.

It’s like he trying to pour every ounce of his affection and adoration out of himself and into you with the meeting of your lips. He’s so purposeful in his movements, kissing you slow, deep, and so, so thoroughly that your mind won’t be able to comprehend anything outside of the little bubble that you’ve created for yourselves.

Given how tall he is things can get a bit awkward, but once he gets use to any height difference that may be there neither of you will really notice it at all.

But! One very good thing that is left over from that brief phase is his tendency to cradle your head while you kiss.

Big boy’s got big hands, but they’re always so gentle whenever they touch you. He holds you like you’re something infinitely precious and delicate, with one hand palming the back of your head and the other either pulling you in by your waist or cradling your cheek. It’s so soft and sweet, I swear you’ll never feel more loved than when he’s holding you like this 😭

Oh, oh!! Another thing he does is to tilt your head up towards him so that he can kiss you and it’s very sexy of him. Like he’ll just curl two fingers under your chin and urge your face upwards, a smirk tugging at his lips because he knows how this shit hits.

And don’t let his cinnamon roll persona fool you—dude can be a gd tease when he wants to be, so instead of kissing you right away he’ll just hover there for a bit, maybe grace you with a few feather-light brushes of his baby-soft lips before finally putting it on you proper.

Ugggggh. He’s a menace I tell you, an absolute menace that must be stopped.

↠ And once he reaches maximum comfort, well…

Dude’ll legit just pick you up and plop you in his lap for a makeout session lmao.

He will swear up and down it’s just for the good of his back—apparently all that slouching isn’t ‘good for his spine’—but we know better 😏

He’ll be blushing like mad like 70% of the time, but he’ll kiss you breathless before you can tease him about it.

Certainly gets a lot more hands-y at this stage, but this is a good, wholesome prompt list so I’ll just leave it at that for now lol…

↠ So in conclusion, Asahi’s a very methodical and purposeful kisser that will never fail to leave your lungs devoid of air and your tummy full up on butterflies.

Coffee || Do they get jealous easily? How do they show it?

↠ He’s not the jealous type at all. The way he sees it, if you’re together then you’re together. He respects you immensely and trusts you completely; he knows that neither of you will ever do anything to jeopardize your relationship so there’s really nothing to be jealous of.

↠ He’ll always assume the best about you, and while it may make his heart seize a bit if he sees something that looks sussy, he’ll always give you the benefit of the doubt.

↠ That said he doesn’t take too kindly to people flirting with you.

It’s one thing if they honestly don’t know that you’re together, but once that’s been made clear (or if the person already knew beforehand), whew chile. It, uhh… it’s not pretty lol.

He’s not possessive nor is he one to pick fights but he has no problems with finishing them if need be.

Luckily for all parties involved it never actually gets that far because, well, look at him. Imo he’s not an overly intimidating guy; like yeah, he runs a bit bigger than average, but his gentle and genial nature balances that out.

Still.

When he wants to turn it on he most certainly can, and it’s kinda terrifying, ngl. He knows how people perceive him, and while he usually does everything in his power to be as nonthreatening as possible this is one of the few occasions that will see him leaning into every stereotype and label he’s ever been saddled with.

He won’t do anything super overt straight off the bat, but rather he’ll shift his posture to be more pronounced, rolling his shoulders back as he straightens up into his (extremely impressive) full height. He’ll also wrap an arm around your shoulders or take your hand to further cement the point that you’re already happily taken, thank you; he may even pull you fully into his side if he thinks the other person to be too close.

Being a working adult has forced him to get somewhat comfortable with eye contact, and when he’s agitated he finds that he has no problems with staring a mf down; those pretty chocolate eyes will pin the offender in place with the irritation/displeasure that flickers around just below their surface. It is… not something that any sane person would want directed at them, is all I’m saying.

This has always been enough to get people to back off, which is good because he honestly isn’t sure if he’s got hands or not lmao. Even when he was a kid he was bigger than average so nobody ever wanted any smoke, and it’s not like he went around looking for trouble so he’s never actually had to fight. If pushed he’s fairly certain that he’d be able to hold his own, but tbh he hopes he never has to find out.

Rosehip Tea || How romantic are they? How do they show affection?

↠ Ah yes, the love language question—my favorite! And it’s under my favorite tea blend too? Clearly it’s providence lol.

↠ Anyways!

↠ How romantic is Asahi?

↠ So romantic.

Kind of a traditionalist in this way. Blame his grams and all the Old Hollywood movies she showed him when he was as a kid because he certainly does. There’s a certain quaintness to the way they portrayed romance, one that he’s always wanted to recreate after a fashion with his special someone. So now that he’s got you expect to be wooed like a starlet of old lmao.

Every inch the gentleman, he’ll open and hold doors, pull out chairs, will even legit lay his jacket over a puddle if the need arises lol. He also vibes hard with that whole ‘candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach’ beat. It should feel cheesy af, but he’s just so heart-achingly sincere that you don’t have it in you to be anything but charmed by his actions and utterly smitten with the man himself.

He really loves making memories with you, but even with as close as he holds each and every one, this cradling cannot stop the dulling touch of time. Memories will inevitably fade, that’s just a part of the curse of being, but there are ways to counter that. To that end expect to take tons of pictures to document your adventures.

He’s p. good at photography (a side effect of his work; before he could afford to hire a professional he had to take his own photos for his shop’s site), and he always manages to capture both you and your surroundings at the best angle and in the most flattering light. He’s able to strike a good balance with it too, taking enough pictures to fully capture everything, but not being so glued to his phone/camera that it ruins the vibes.

In a similar vein he likes having things that are specific to the pair of you as a couple; lots of inside jokes and matching items, etc. You guys are 100% the couple that unintentionally puts on complimentary outfits. Like you’re not even trying, you’re just so in tune with one another that it just happens sometimes. Whenever it does out comes the camera so that you can rub your cuteness in the internet’s face via some Couple’s Goals posts lmao.

He also never forgets an anniversary/your birthday/any other important dates, and if he cannot do something with you on the actual day trust and believe that he’ll make up for it as soon as your schedules will allow for it.

↠ Now as far as love languages go, quality time is probably chief-most among them for him.

This man will pamper and spoil you rotten if you let him. That said he’s more opt to shower you in time and affection than gifts. The latter low-key makes him feel like he’s trying to buy your love which ofc you both know isn’t true, but it still leaves him feeling some kind of way. This isn’t to say that he doesn’t still buy you things, but that it’s not his go-to.

For him it’s the time spent and memories made that are most precious, and they’re made all the more so due to the responsibilities that so often keep you apart. Being an adult is a real time-suck, but that which he has to share he gives to you freely. He wants you to monopolize his time in the same way he’s so greedy for yours.

But don’t think that any of this means that he’ll be under you 24/7. In an ideal world you could stay hugged up for all eternity, but sadly that’s not realistic. Even with as much as he adores spending time with you he knows that you both need space on occasion, and he’s more than willing to grant you that.

It’s not uncommon for you two to part ways after breakfast and not come back together until bedtime. On days like that he’s kinda gonna be all over you once you settle in for the night—if you’ll allow it, of course. He’s gonna pull you into his broad chest, hands following the line of your spine as he listens to you recount your day. Please take advantage of your extremely privileged position and play with this man’s glorious mane as he does this—it’s what you both deserve lol.

Regardless of your usual sleeping position, you’ll definitely drift off like this—breathing in tandem and wrapped up in each other’s arms—and if Asahi’s strong ass grip has anything to say about it you’ll stay that way until sunup lol.

What?? He’s gotta make up for all the time he spent not cuddling you that day, it’s only right, right? Lol…

↠ Aside from time spent he is, as I established earlier, very touchy-feely.

Again, he’s not clingy, just tactile.

He prefers to be in contact with you in some type of way, even if that’s just your shoulders and knees brushing up against each other while you chill out on the couch.

He’s not super big on grand showings of PDA, but he’s got no problems with holding hands, wrapping an arm around you, or even sharing a sweet little peck every now and again if it’s appropriate.

When you’re in the privacy and comfort of your own home, however, he’s a lot bolder. He’s a big fan of pulling you into a back hug and peppering you with kisses all over your shoulders, neck, and face until you’re reduced to a breathless mess—whether or not this is due to you giggling to the point where you’re out of air or him stealing it from your lungs with a searing kiss really just depends on the mood.

He isn’t above spinning you around or otherwise sweeping you off of your feet and carrying you around like the royal you are to him because he’s so wonderfully cliché like that lol.

Also—tickle wars. If you hate being tickled he’ll refrain, but if you’re down be ready for a tear soaked battle because dude is relentless. He’ll push his height advantage for all it’s worth, keeping you pinned with those long ass legs of his and holding you at arm’s length so you can’t get back at him as he absolutely lays into your sides, your tummy, the bends of your knees, hell even the palms of your hands. It’s all free real estate to him lmao.

On the opposite end of all of this, if you’re like me and get overwhelmed by too much touch he’s totally willing to tone it down. Your comfort is paramount, so if you need him to ease up or fall back completely he will. He’s more than content to just share the space with you if that’s what you want/need.

↠ And lastly he’s very reaffirming.

You never have to worry about where you stand with Asahi because he always makes sure to tell you just how much you mean to him and how much he cherishes what you’ve built together every day.

He’s always the first person to cheer you on, the biggest supporter of all your endeavors and dreams; he never fails to elevate your mood beyond what you thought to be possible before meeting him.

If you’re feeling down he’ll whisper sweet words of encouragement in your ear, reminding you of the wonderful person that you are and all that you’ve accomplished. He knows what it’s like to feel the icy coil of responsibility cinching itself around your neck; has shouldered the weight of others’ judgement; has fought wars within himself, against himself. No matter what it is you’re facing, he won’t let you go through it alone. The shadows will never win, not so long as you’ve got Asahi at your back.

Also compliments—lots and lots of compliments lol.

It’s p. much a compulsion for him, he physically cannot stop himself from telling you every little thing he loves about you. Like he’ll just look at you and think, Oh wow, my baby looks good today. Like really, really good. Gods, they’re so gorgeous… Except oops! He didn’t actually think that, he said it, and now you’re grinning and-or blushing, and you’re gonna tease him about this for the rest of the day, aren’t you?

And now he’s blushing because you’re saying that he looks just as good, better even—which, uhh, no, have you seen yourself?? You’re perfection incarnate in his eyes, and you’re gonna acknowledge it; meanwhile you’re on the other side saying the same thing.

You’re both very ‘fight me about it’ which leads to a compliment war that you’re probably gonna lose because he can think of well over a dozen things that you’ve done just in the last hour alone to rave over lmao.

It basically becomes a test of wills at that point as you both keep going at it until one of you breaks. If he starts to get too flustered, Asahi is not afraid to cheat—and by that I mean he’ll shut you up with a kiss lol. He refuses to be the only one reduced to a flushed, stammering mess and if they only way to put you into a similar state is an impromptu makeout session then so be it.

((p. sure it’s gotta be illegal for one man to be this cute, and if it’s not it should be because this shit is legit dangerous.))

Black Tea || What do they look for in a person?

↠ Kindness, above all else.

↠ Having experienced not nearly enough of it in his own life—while still showing it to others unconditionally, btw—he absolutely cannot stand to be around angry, mean-spirited people in any capacity. People like that make him equal parts nervous and irritated. Ofc being angry on occasion is fine/normal, but if that seems to be the person’s default state and-or they’re cruel then that’s a big no for him.

↠ He also likes people that are grounded in themselves, as it helps him to be more stable as well. This isn’t to say his partner has to be on top of things 24/7, but he really does prefer—need, really—for them to have a decent handle on things. He’s more than willing to help them get there, but if they’re too up and down and aren’t looking to get better that’ll end things quickly. Given his own nature, he can’t stand by and watch a person that he cares about willingly self-destruct, yanno?

↠ Authenticity is also a big thing for him. Working in the fashion world, he’s v. much accustomed to the masks that most people don for various reasons. It’s all a part of the game, he knows, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it. That type of two-faced ish just does not fly with him in his personal life. He wants to see every aspect of his partner, from the lovely to the outright ugly; it may not always be the easiest thing to look at, but at least it’s real.

↠ Those are the only three musts that I can think of; everything else is a preference.

He really loves to travel, so he’d like someone who’s down for that.

He’s also pretty active, in fact he’s found that he actually values exercising more now that he’s no longer an athlete (sitting slouched over his designs all day is killer on his back) so having a gym buddy would be ideal, but again isn’t a deal breaker.

As a creative type himself, he oftentimes finds himself drawn to similarly inclined people. The medium doesn’t matter to him overmuch nor does skill level; hobbyists to professionals to just followers/enthusiasts, he likes it all.

Assertive people kinda do things to him lol. He’s not a fan of bullies or pushy people (he’s already got enough of the latter in his life, you know how his friends can be), but like… Driven people who not only know what they want, but don’t hesitate to do what they need to to make it happen? Hells yeah.

↠ Being as accepting and kind as he is, Asahi can find something to like in just about every personality type so don’t be afraid to shoot your shot! That said, you’re gonna fair better if you get to know him a bit before trying.

He’s not exactly opposed to being asked out by strangers, but it does unnerve him a bit because we don’t really know each other? What can you have possibly seen in me that made you want this?? It’s a confidence boost, sure, a nice stroke to his ego, but… Having no real footing in a situation makes him nervous.

Plus past experiences have taught him it’s better to be friends before considering something more, but we’ll get into that more later in the list.

Luckily at this point he’s better at speaking his mind, so if you propose a straight up date he’ll ask if you’re opposed to turning it into something more informal so that you can get to know each other. If you’re insistent on the date that’ll be an instant turn-off—again, he’s not a fan of pushy people, and you’re not respecting his boundaries besides which is a major red flag for him. If you can’t respect his wishes on this then he knows that not even a friendship would pan out well, let alone something more.

↠ As far as appearances go, I’m sure he has his preferences, but he’s not one to discount someone because of their looks. He knows that there’s so much more to a person than the physical and that appearances can be all too deceiving. He has functioning eyes, so yes there are some people that will catch said eyes easier than others, but that’s not his main drive, yanno?

He does like well-dressed people, as he tends to dress rather smartly himself and having someone that can complement that would be nice, but again that isn’t at all necessary. If y’all are vibing like that he’s definitely the type to take those really aesthetic OOTD couples pictures for the gram, you know the kind. They always leave his followers wondering how he got them to look so effortlessly good/natural. It’s either a nuanced combination of filters or straight up witchcraft—the jury’s still out on which it is lmao…

He also likes people that have a distinct sense of style, kind of like a signature. Doesn’t matter what said style is, he’ll appreciate it regardless—it’s the designer in him lol.

But at the same time he likes it when you switch it up on him; if you can rock some vampire goth shit on one day and then a pastel punk vibe the next or like idk, combine some hella random styles together and make ‘em work he’ll be so into it (he may also offer you a job lmao).

↠ So yeah, for him the biggest things are being kind, being grounded, and being yourself.

Pomegranate Tea || At what point did they know they loved their s/o?

↠ Asahi is the kinda person that falls in love by degrees. Lots of little moments shared and memories made and inside jokes cultivated just keep building up and up and up, and before he knows it his little crush has turned into something far deeper than he ever expected it to.

↠ The moment it hits him will probably be fairly innocuous.

You’ll just be doing something random together and your face will do the thing—that one really cute, really you-specific thing that never fails to leave his heart clenching before beating at a rabbit’s pace.

A small, fond smile will pull at his lips as he continues to watch you, while a feeling of something warm and content washes over the whole of him. This has been happening with increasing frequency these past few months, though as it hasn’t been negatively affecting him he never really gave it too much thought.

He likes this feeling—no, he loves it. He loves the way that it’s never too far behind when you’re around, loves that it colors virtually every interaction that you share–

He loves you.

He has no idea how or when this happened, but as he thinks back on things he realizes that it was inevitable. You’re just so… everything, how could he not fall?

You’ll probably notice the moment that he puts the pieces together, though you won’t know what it is that has him doing his peerless impersonation of a tomato. Luckily for him, random bouts of blushing are common enough that you don’t really pester him for an explanation, which really just makes him love you more tbh lol.

↠ Buuuut unfortunately for you both he won’t be doing anything about his newly realized love for you for a long while yet. So you’ll both be pining in silence because you don’t want to spook one another—fuckin’ dorks, lmao.

↠ But eventually it’s all gonna spill over into the scenario that I mentioned before—well, unless you decide to take the initiative and confess yourself. He won’t be put off by this at all, btw (remember what I said about his liking assertive people) tho he’ll still be flustered af, but that’s p. much a given, all things considered…

Matcha Tea || How and when do they propose to their s/o?

↠ Well first he’ll make sure that you actually want to get married.

↠ While he himself is definitely the marrying kind, it isn’t a deal breaker for him. At the end of the day that’s just a piece of paper that cannot add or take away from your love’s value, so if you’re not down for that, that’s fine by him.

↠ But if you are into it, then he’s more than willing to oblige.

↠ The ‘when’ aspect will be more so determined by you. Once he’s sure you’re ready, he’ll ask—doesn’t matter if that’s after only six months of dating or two years. Probably won’t come before the six month mark tho; gotta make sure you’re both compatible and in things for the long haul.

↠ As for the how, it’ll probably be p. cutesy.

He’ll pick an activity that’s very specific and significant to you as a couple and spring it on you at some point during it.

Not overly fond of public proposals as he doesn’t like the pressure aspect. He knows that he wouldn’t appreciate being put on the spot like that, so he’d never do it to you. Besides this is v. personal moment, one that should be shared by the pair of you alone, and he doesn’t want a bunch of randoms getting in on that.

Also not a fan of putting rings in food. Just—no. At best it’s unnecessarily messy, at worst you’re making a trip to the ER or dentist because the ring got swallowed or a tooth got chipped, and yeah, no. Those aren’t exactly the type of memories he wants associated with the event that’s meant to mark the start of the next chapter of your lives together lol…

Chai Tea || How do they spice up their relationship?

↠ I know I’m about to date myself here, and not in the fun ‘Take yourself out for lunch and a spa day, buy yourself a bouquet’ kinda way lol.

But anyways, the first thing I thought about when I read this was Zatarain’s old tag line: Jazz it up with Zatarain’s! which then made me think about that one commercial for their low sodium products. I know that’s (probably??) an American-specific reference from forever ago, but whatever lmao. Actually they may still use it? Idk, I haven’t seen one of their commercials in years.

((I would apologize for subjecting you all to my weird ass thought processes, but if I have to suffer through it, so do you. Think of it as the price of admission lmao))

↠ But anyways!

↠ When things start to feel stagnant, Asahi will opt to take you somewhere new.

Traveling abroad is preferred, but not always feasible, so when forced he’ll settle for something local. Tho it should be said that his definition of ‘local’ is broad af lol. If you’ve both got the time p. much anywhere in Japan’s fair game.

He loves finding little off-path spots—a little pop-up boutique, hidden ramen houses that only the regulars seem to know about, an antique shop that is a relic and in of itself, corners of parks that have been all but reclaimed by nature, etc. He doesn’t mind hitting up trendier places as well, but he usually finds that they rarely live up to the hype in most cases, even if they are v. nice.

Really his main thing is spending time with you; he wants to reconnect, to stoke your shared fire until it’s once again blistering with that white-hot heat that he loves to feel consuming all of him.

↠ If you don’t feel like painting the town or don’t really have the time to he’ll find little ways to bring back the spark right there at home.

This mostly involves him doing a lot of little things that’ll pull up those old, happy memories from your favorite trips. For most familiarity isn’t synonymous with spice, but with Asahi it’s those reminders of the love and care that you have for one another that leave him wanting more. Knowing someone that intimately is a special and rare thing, and he’s so happy, honored, and honestly humbled to have all of that with you.

He’ll special order a box of that one tea blend that you tried in India, some truffles from that overly friendly chocolatier you met in Paris (that looked oddly familiar, now that he thinks about it), a bottle of that Tuscan white you’d raved over last time you where there…

He wants to remind you of the good times you shared while also promising you that there will be plenty more to be had in the future as well.

Hibiscus Tea || What’s their favorite place to take their s/o?

↠ Probably the first place you ever traveled to together because he’s a giant sentimental floofball like that lol.

He’ll even go so far as to try to get you the same room every time, and he’ll also want to hit up some of the same restaurants and attractions if only to see if they’ve changed since last you been there.

But aside from the room thing (that he only insists on because he thinks it’s a super cute tradition) he’s not looking to recreate that trip step for step. He wants to experience everything this world has to offer with you, and he cannot do that if his mind’s constantly stuck in the past, yanno?

Green Tea || How do they comfort their s/o?

↠ This really depends on your personality. He doesn’t want to add to your stress by doing something you don’t like so if you’re the kind that needs space he’ll give it to you. If you want to be smothered in cuddles he’s down for that too. At the end of the day it’s your comfort that he’s most concerned with so he’ll go with your flow.

↠ That said, his go-to is to relax you by degrees.

↠ The first order of business will be to get you into the bath.

A nice soak can help to alleviate any physical discomfort you may be feeling as well as to relax your mind a bit. He’ll join you if you want, but he’s just as fine with sitting beside the tub and sharing the space or even leaving you be entirely.

If you do want him to stay he’ll be as hands on as you want. He’ll tend to your hair and even help you wash up if you need it. He’s also down to chat, but unless you bring up whatever it is that’s troubling you he’ll avoid the subject for now. The way he sees it, you’re still too close to the problem and poking at it now will only serve to upset you more. Once you’ve relaxed some you’ll be able to tackle the problem with a calm and clear head.

Once you’re done with that he’s gonna dry you off and then help you moisturize because dry skin is not fun lol. This may or may not turn into a massage, it really just depends on what it is that you want.

↠ Comfortable clothes are a must, obvi.

Whatever it is you’re most comfy in is what he’s gonna have laid out for you, and if that just so happens to be one of his shirts or any other piece of his wardrobe he’s more than willing to share. Like most guys he’s got a thing about seeing you in his clothes, but that’s neither here nor there.

↠ After that he’s either gonna tuck you into bed or burrito you on the couch while he gets some food together.

Even if you’re not in the mood to eat for whatever reason he’ll still insist that you at least nibble on something. Adding low blood sugar to the mix will only ever make things worse, trust him—he knows. (Hangry Asahi do be kinda terrifying, ngl lol.)

He’ll entice you with your favorites, be that something homemade or take-out. If it’s the latter he’ll have already placed the order, but if it’s something that he needs to make he’ll get on it as soon as you’re settled. If you’re not keen on being left alone he gets that; he’s more than willing to let you glomb on to him while he tends to the food, and is more than willing to let you help if you’re that way inclined.

He still won’t bring up what it is that’s eating at you yet, though you ofc are free to at any time. If you’re not ready to talk he’ll put something mindless on—be that something on the television or some music or whatever else—and just chill with you. Conversation will be provided if you’re up for it, but he’s more than willing to sit in the hush with you if that’s what you need.

↠ It’s only when you’re properly relaxed and fed that he’ll ask if you’re ready to talk.

He’ll let you vent all you need, though aside from the occasional hum he’ll be pretty quiet throughout. This is because he’s taking in what you’re saying in its entirety so that he can examine it from various angles; he wants to be able to provide a proper response as well as good advice should you ask for the latter.

But of course he knows that advice isn’t always wanted or needed, so if it’s just a sounding board that you’re looking for he’s happy to lend an ear.

↠ By the time Asahi’s done with you, you’ll be feeling much better, physically as well as mentally. Even if you’re not back at 100% by your sessions end, he’ll keep at it—being whatever you need, however you need it, for as long as you need it.

Russian Caravan Tea || How experienced are they with relationships?

↠ Not overly.

↠ Like I said before, he has been in a few relationships, but they never got too deep. Don’t get me wrong, he genuinely liked those people, but… It just never panned out. The romantic in him likes to think this is because the universe has shipped the pair of you from jump, but the realist in him knows that those breakups were rooted in some pretty heavy things.

Half of it was due to insecurity/a lack of confidence on his part, while the other half came from unhealthy expectations from his partners.

Thinking back on things now he sees that he wasn’t exactly ready to be dating at that point in his life. He was still growing, still had a lot of personal issues that needed working on and it wasn’t exactly fair to either of them for him to pull others into that.

But at the same time once that was made clear to his partners they could have given him a bit more grace. Some legitimately tried for a bit, while others were less understanding—in the end none of them could understand why he couldn’t ‘just get over it.’

And even that he kinda feels responsible for to a degree. He always glossed over his issues, quick to downplay the effect of his trauma—a habit he initially picked up for self-preservation reasons, tho it did him no good in the long run—so he could see why they would think that it would be easy to move past.

But honestly it wouldn’t take much more than a glance to see that there was far more to things than what he made them out to be; that they either couldn’t see that, or pointedly chose to look away says a lot and none of it is good.

This is why he never really mourned those relationships. Yes, the breakups hurt at the time, but subconsciously he knew that they weren’t what was best for him.

↠ Lessons learned taught him to be more… Not exactly cautious, but more selective about who he lets into his life in that capacity. This is why he’s so insistent on being friends first. This isn’t to say that you have to be super-ultra besties before he’ll consider dating you, but he does have to trust you to hold his hand before he’ll let you cradle his heart.

English Breakfast Tea || Would they want a family?

↠ As far as he’s concerned you’re already a family, but if you’re looking to bring kids into the mix… I can see him going either way on this. Children aren’t something that he’s dead set on having, but he’s also not at all against the idea.

↠ Expanding your family would be just one more expression of your shared love, and he’s all for that. So if you want kids, he’s very much down.

In fact I can see him getting way into the idea if you’re super jazzed about it. Like you really think he’s fit to be the father of your children? Him? As in Asahi Azumane? Really??

He gets way into his feelings over it, but like in a good way lol. Will definitely be an excellent dad; he’s kind and understanding and has so, so much love to give (plus his piggyback rides are god-tier lmao). No kid could ever ask for anything more.

↠ But like I said, this isn’t a must for him, so if you’re like me and kids aren’t your thing he’s more than understanding. Fur-babies are just as good, as are plant children, or no surrogates at all.

↠ Like I said before, you’re his family, his heart, his whole gd world—he doesn’t need anything else outside of that, but he’s always more than willing to add to the love.

Rooibos Tea || What’s their favorite thing to do with their s/o?

↠ Traveling, hands down.

↠ Between wistfully daydreaming about his grandmother’s travels and the few trips he’s taken with Noya, dude’s totally caught the bug.

↠ It doesn’t matter if you’re just going to that nice restaurant that recently opened up downtown or to the other end of the world—he wants to see everything this blue marble has to offer, and he wants to do it with you by his side.

↠ Domestic stuff is cool, but he’d be lying if he didn’t say that he prefers to go abroad.

Luckily for him his work allows for him to travel a fair bit. This is… less than ideal if you cannot accompany him as he doesn’t like to be away from you for long stretches of time. Still, he’s a big boy and understands that you have your own responsibilities to tend to, so he won’t make a big deal out of it.

…but he maaay offer you a job lmao. He won’t try and pressure you into it or anything like that, in fact the idea probably won’t leave the confines of his mind unless you’re currently in between jobs or if it’s obvious that things at your current gig aren’t working out. The offer will be casually made at first, with him only going into detail if you actually show some interest.

Ofc he’s heard the horror stories about couples having problems and even breaking up due to their working together, but he doubts that’ll be a thing with the pair of you. Besides he’s been in need of a PA for a long time, but he hasn’t been able to find one that he vibes with, a thing that obviously won’t be a problem with you. Tho if you have the skills and want to do something else he’s totally okay with that too! As much as he’d love to keep you close, working with him directly isn’t a must.

((Personally I’d take the PA position as the job’s pretty low effort because Asahi likes to do most things himself, and what little you would actually have to do would be stuff that you’d do for him regardless. But it’s your life boo-boo, you do you.))

Working arrangements aside, if you can go with him then by all means do! You’ll both be happier for it, I assure you lol. He’ll spend whatever free time he has wandering around the city with you and finding cool things to do; lots of shopping, trying out the local cuisine, and just generally having a fun time. And thanks to his anxiety-induced preparedness you’ll never have to worry about getting lost as dude has like 5 apps and a literal paper map to aid you lmao.

He also always makes sure that you have enough coin that you’re able to enjoy yourselves without worry about curbing your spending. Travel is such an essential part of his life that he factors it into his budgeting accordingly.

↠ Ofc it isn’t just work trips that he’ll take you on. Whenever you both have the time off and the want, he’ll be all to ready to book it to wherever.

Totally the type to toss a dart at a map to pick your next destination, but that’s about as spontaneous as it gets lol. He’s gonna do his research to make sure the place is actually fit to visit/what to do should you really decide to go there/the best place to stay/etc.

It doesn’t matter where you end up, exploring’s always gonna be one of his most favorite things to do while traveling.

Like I said before, he really enjoys finding hidden spots, but when he’s abroad he’s a sucker for tourist traps (i.e. landmarks, monuments, notable restaurants, etc.)

He always makes sure to get something to memorialize your trips. Pictures are a given, naturally, but he also likes having other physical reminders. These can range from a little trinket like a keychain to a whole ass painting ((umm, where is your chill, sir? lmao)). He loves the way he can transport himself back to those precious moments by just looking at the items you’ve collected over the course of your travels.

↠ Also—stargazing.

This is one of his favorite things to do with you in general, and he always tries to squeeze it into your itinerary whenever possible.

With the night sky being so expansive and varied it’s always fun to try to spot the difference between what’s currently above you and the celestial landscape you’re more accustomed to back home.

He rarely brings along a star map so you’re probably not going to be able to make much out unless astronomy is your thing. Either way, the pair of you always end up making up your own constellations at some point, complete with the dramatic backstories that seem to come standard with the things lol.

He’s definitely drawn and framed a few of your favorites from these sessions, and they’re hanging in your home as well as his office.

((bury my soft ass with my own HCs lol))

↠ At the end of it all it doesn’t matter to him whether your dancing under the pale moonlight in your living room or basking under the night sky’s glow in a city far away from home—so long as he can hold you close enough to count the stars in those beautiful eyes of yours he’s content.

↠ Because his favorite place to be will always and forever be the space between your loving arms.

[flutter2deceive]

Inspired by @everybodyknows-everybodydies recent ER dream posts, I figured I'd share some of my ER dreams from the past year. I text myself whatever i remember after waking up from interesting dreams so that's the grammatically incorrect format they're in lol

buffy out on the streets moving vans with her strength, timothy olyphant is a vampire and he and his vamp buddies need romano to inject blood back into his circulatory system so he can go out in daylight again, they're taunting him like "come on didn't buffy train with you for a week to be a surgeon before giving up?", idk

The coolest stop motion video ever of this ER drawing turned into a storyline, mark leaves i guess jennifer and is running down the hallway to someone and i'm curious to see if it will be susan or elizabeth, it's elizabeth but then the pov switches to susan and she continues running down the hall to the trauma coming in and she high-fives abby and it's like the main point of contact for all the friendly characters when they do something cool is to high-five, watching this whole thing run thru and have the absolute biggest look of gleeful wonder on my face, i say some very nice words and hope they make it to whoever the author/vid marker are

In a steam engine room like that titanic ep of newsradio, there were also demons, so hell??, then there was a thing about carter being gay and in love with his best friend but then he called me lisa (which is my name) but i took that to mean that it was actually dave and it was a whole thing about maura tierney's fake ex-boyfriends?, and carter was out in my parents' front yard confessing his love but he accidentally stepped in the path of a chainsaw and the top of his toe got chopped off so then he was in a wheelchair

Kerry and elizabeth talking about sandy and mark and how they dread talking to henry and ella about them without breaking down, but it's also like they're still there, and then it's kerry and mark having the same convo but it's mark talking about his dad, they're in the hospital bathroom, a scene where sandy is temping in a library at the hospital and arizona robbins also working there and the implication is that they used to date, arizona comes up to sandy's table and notices that she seems to be doing wedding planning meanwhile kerry is sitting by herself at another table, arizona is judgy about what appears to be sandy chasing a girl who's in the closet and ashamed, sandy explains that kerry doesn't know and it's a surprise which is why she has the flashmob people standing 2 deep around kerry's table so she doesn't see the minister bringing the shrubbery in (this never happens in the dream but also what?? lol), then kerry has a successful hip replacement surgery that luka performed and mark is telling everyone about it, susan and abby were just starting to feel out a relationship and were making out in the bathroom

The er hospital but housed in an amalgam of my workplace and childhood church, i guess i'm like an orderly?, corday is pregnant and examining a patient and she's like ready-to-pop pregnant but she's still insistent that she's good to work until she's 8cm dilated and she's only 6 right now, we're all like dude go up to ob now, she's doing like yoga stretches on the floor to alleviate pain but still insists she's fine, meanwhile her patient is like ???, her water breaks and romano is gonna take her up to surgery, there's a space issue at the elevators and only he can fit, me and the other orderly say we'll take her up on the gurney in the other bank of elevators, we go flying down the hall and yelling for people to move cuz mrs corday's-- "sorry, dr. corday's"-- water broke, we get stopped by a security guard who won't let us through and then stopped again cuz there's construction in the warehouse, somehow romano manages to get lizzie but me and the other orderly are locked out, go to a bar downstairs to wait and nick kroll is there and he alerts everyone at the bar to the fact that he found several fan art/fic hits for "nick kroll/luka kovac" on the company's subreddit, he seems oddly intrigued, how weird of a pairing

In the future, there are no doctors because they're all burnt out from covid so healthcare in the future is just holograms of scenes from er but they're not the medical scenes they're the relationship drama stuff, alex kingston is named ceo of brain things due to her time on both er and doctor who, an interviewer asks what her favorite katy perry song is and romano answers for her, then maura tierney kicks everyone's ass at a banquet

The specifics elude me but somehow abby made it so that neela's memories of gallant's death are erased, and he's not exactly alive but also not dead, maybe she went back in time and changed something or had magic?, but neela is now texting with michael who is actually abby with his phone pretending to be him, abby is feeling really guilty for playing around with life and death and neela's feelings when she didn't have a gameplan, she ends up telling weaver she did something extremely morally questionable, now the two of them have to think thru how to handle the situation, neela is concerned now cuz michael texted that he'd talk with her at 23:00 but he hasn't called yet, then there's this really annoying intern that's pissing all the docs off, weaver starts to say something and ppl think she's gonna tell this woman off but she's like "this is an intern that's working here? She should be the hospital's lawyer", and then abby and susan smirk at each other and put on a tie? Idk but i think it's a different reality than the gallant-still-alive one

On a road trip or something and get back to abby's apartment, i may be susan but also possibly just me, we get the luggage from the car and while abby is trying to find her keys to unlock the door, we hear a noise from down the alley, the blonde woman that luka had been flirting with is near the luggage and is drunk or high, we wrestle with our conscience on whether to help her, she ends up asking to crash on the couch, abby and i get her inside and on the couch, we then end up sharing the bed and giggling

Caring for romano while he was in the hospital, mei lin from top chef is a med student and robert keeps insulting her, i think i might be corday, order a butterfinger and bottle of water from the hospital convenience store, go back to robert's room, he's muttering about the salad they brought him, i ask if he wants me to tell the nurse that he wants them to leave the salad for when he wakes from his nap, he squints up at me and smiles, says that his coping mechanism for stress is egg salad, idk

Living an ep of ER, i am susan, walking to my car alongside elizabeth, we're kinda tensely discussing when the kids will be at each of our houses for the holidays, i say let's just fuck it and join our celebrations, it's like a thing as if mark actually used to be married to susan and had a kid, don't know if it was supposed to be little suzie or rachel, elizabeth smiles unexpectedly and my heart kicks up, get in our cars and drive off, i am fumbling with a cigarette and the lighter from the car, drop them both as i'm driving down the hill out of the hospital parking lot, but now i am abby and have the season 9 hair, keep talking about this guy coworker i'm secretly seeing but it's actually susan and i'm trying to throw people off the scent, and there's something also about trixie and katya in this part of the dream but i don't remember specifically what, maybe guest star patients?

[doiefy]

tw; anon hate, fuck read more, this is important

quick question for the anons.

and by quick question, i actually mean: seriously stop for a minute and turn your brains on for once. what goes on in your head when you navigate to someone’s profile and press Ask? what are you thinking when you type in hurtful comments and send them, knowing people will never know who they are?

because the more i think about this anon situation, the less i’m angry with you and the more i pity you—as in, if you’re taking time out of your day to send people unnecessary, petty (and most times grammatically incorrect lmfao) hate messages, in my mind you’re either a troll, or you’re going through something so horrible that you have to take it out on people who’ve done nothing wrong. genuinely, if you’re sending people hate because it makes you feel better, i’m sorry. if this is the way you have to deal with problems in your own life, i’m sorry (and if you’re being rude just for the sake of being rude or because you think it’s funny, then uh.. fuck you i guess).

it should be clear that whatever your deal is, whatever you might be going through, whatever takes you to the ask button, i don’t care what it might be—it does not give you the right to be shitty to other people. some days i wake up, mad at everyone and everything, maybe wanting to punch the first person who says something that ticks me off—but i don’t go on the internet and tell someone i don’t even know that they’re worthless. i deal with it, i don’t take it out on someone else and if i accidentally do, i apologize. the same behaviour is expected of me online and it’s expected from you too, even if no one knows who you are. you see something you don’t like, see someone you don’t like? fine. you’re not expected to agree with everything you see or everyone you meet, but it doesn’t mean you have to be a lil piece of shit to them. ignoring it isn’t so hard. if you need to say something about it, then say it, but have some fucking respect. if you really feel the need to be shitty to someone (and in which case, i pray for you), don’t use anon. it’s not there for you to abuse.

just remember that whoever you’re sending hate to is leagues beyond you in terms of bravery. they create, they work hard and their names are attached to everything they post unlike someone toggling the anon switch in an Ask. they’re putting themselves out there, knowing that at least one person won’t like what they do. as creators, that’s what we signed up for. what we didn’t sign up for is your sorry asses in our inboxes.

the types of messages i keep seeing on my dash are seriously bothering me, but i think i’ve given anons way more attention than they deserve. so instead of plotting how i’ll sneak them onto a spaceship to mars, i’ll leave a little something for anyone who has received unnecessary hate:

you are wonderful, amazing, kind, creative, funny, brave, resilient, unique, fun to be around, fun to talk to.. and you are loved. someone cares about you and someone loves you, and even if it’s just one person, what they think about you is so much more valid than someone hiding behind anonymous sunglasses and a screen. keep your head up, stay strong.

mooties, i’m always open to talk, and i always have a slipper ready to whack someone if anyone would like to join me pls don’t actually hurt people that’s just rude

ahahah and here’s where my well-written post falls apart:

lmfao anon go suck a dick fhdjsjsk

(and my cousin calls her mom mama so it’s really okay hahah i even call my mom mama sometimes) (and where you got the number “16 sentences” beats me but i still cracked up) (is this me pretending i had tags? maybe) HAHAHAHA OK BYE ❤️❤️ why did this take me so long to send i have no clue, AND WHY AM I OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING I SAID SHAJSHSJ ANYWAY BYE btw i love us too... like iconic // lovely anon 💓

me reading this:

also the dedication you put into sending me stuff— like with the laptop and phone and ahsksk 🥺🥺🥺

i’ll update you when i’ve started uni btw, i’m getting more and more excited every single day haha but i still have 3 weeks until it starts and even then I’ll obviously have to get used to it and everything, but you’re making me even more excited about it sksjshsg

yeah i wanna go to england too dkshsh let’s be sad together over the fact the we can’t travel eksjsh😔😭 but hopefully the wait will make it even better in the end <33 also i talk to loads of relatives over the phone at least once a week so it’s not too bad for me! but i miss their house 😭lmao

and i knowww snshsh so many native english speakers just make so many mistakes— and obviously i get that some things are slang but some things are simply wrong ajsh, the thing is no one has ever told me that my english is bad (i know it’s not bad anyway, but i’m still insecure) or no one has ever pointed out any mistakes, but yeah it’s mostly just insecurity dkshsg but yes thanks for saying what you said (previously as well as in this ask)😌🥰

Okay now for latin— girlll i don’t blame u for choosing art over latin esp. when all of your friends are doing art as well!! I’d choose art over latin as well lol skshsg but in year 6 we had to choose between latin and french, and at the time i didn’t like french? which was dumb of me and now i wanna learn french ekdhs but i don’t regret choosing latin at all bc if i properly learn french one day then i’ll already know understand loads of stuff (or at least some stuff lol) just thanks to latin 😌😌 but still, art>>>latin skskshshgs

I wanna watch chaos walking too!!! But i don’t get when/where/how it’s out lmao, cinemas are still closed here so i’ll either have to wait or find it somewhere online... il*egally 🥰 i don’t have high expectations at all btw but i like daisy and tom and the dog🥺 so i think i’ll enjoy it

GIRL SHARK FILMS SHARK FOLMS SKSJSHSHS okay so there are a few classics i haven’t watched yet, and also a few new ones that i haven’t seen yet BUT I LOVE SHARK FILMS SO MUCH SKSHSGSGSKK the first like proper shark film i ever watched was the shallows (which i like but my brain is still too small to comprehend what happened at the end (i mean i get it but i just can’t imagine it— idek if you’ve seen the film but skshhs)) and after watching it three times it does get a bit boring (but now whenever i see pictures or videos of big waves i’m just waiting for a shark to show up like come ON SKSJSG

^^^that pic/scene really traumatised me sksjsh but i still like the film

I only watched jaws like a few months ago, and i get that it’s a classic and also that it’s old and they just didn’t have the best.. equipment or special effects or whatever but i mean... look at meg and then look at jaws.... no disrespect to jaws at ALL but the meg is so much cooler. (That one scene on the boat where the shark just JUMPS OUT OF THE WATER AND SKSJSHHSUSJHA i get such a shock every time it’s so good (and the dog aww aksjshssli 🥺🥺🥰 and the boy with the ice cream lmao he’s iconic)

47 metres down, wow, i liked that film too. (i’ve only watched the original/first one i think) i mean that is such a fucking nightmare scenario like ALSJDHSNEMSKDJSHSJSKWBALSODUEWBSLDKHDJSNSKSKSHSGEBWKAISGSHEKEKSKLDJDJDHDHSHAGGA (that’s the best way i can express my feelings about that scenario lmao)

oh and i’ve recently been watching more horror films but i don’t know if they’re for me... I like the thrill and whatever but i just end up being scared for my life when i have to go to the bathroom at night or when i’m trying to sleep bc suddenly my mind is flooded with all the scary shit from the films 💀💀💀

and music i mean... you know those people who just don’t listen to music? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM???? i honestly like all genres especially in the last year, i am IN LOVE with Nicki Minaj + Megan andddd Stormzy and i like Harry Styles but i prefer his first solo album (and obviously one direction has bangers i have a throwback 1D session at least once a month), I also love MGK especially his new stuff and otherwise i mostly listen to german artists lmao. So who do you like?💖 (WHY DO I FEEL LIKE YOURE GONNA SAY SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SKAHAGUS IF YOU LISTEN TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MUSIC DONT JUDGE ME AJSHDJS) (i know you’re not gonna judge me but)

++ @ the thing you said about writing, don’t worry, i don’t feel pressured at all!!! (not by you and not by anybody else.. except myself sometimes lol) and i’m just very happy that you liked my fics 🥰🥰🥰 and if i start telling people that i’m writing a fic then sometimes it puts a bit of (healthy) pressure on me. like yes sometimes it really is writer’s block, but sometimes i really am just lazy ddkshhd so now that i’ve told you i’m writing a fic i might get my ass up quicker than i would if i hadn’t told anyone 😌😌😌

on the chanting in the new video

my translation and an explanation of that translation. this is going to be a decently long post and im almost positive that im incorrect but im having fun so! keep reading, if you would like. 

so. i would like to start by saying that this is completely speculative and i’m almost positive that i’m wrong but i’m going to detail what i think the chant was and my reasoning for it anyway! 

i’m a classics major, and as such i’m (unfortunately) intimately familiar with latin and ancient greek. i’ve seen multiple people theorize that the chant is in latin (and that’s very valid and would make sense), but to me, it sounds like greek. i immediately took special notice of the word “archaea.” in latin, archae would be “ancient” or something in that neighborhood but in ancient attic greek, it would be more like “beginning.” so i’m working off the assumption that theyre talking about a beginning rather than something ancient. again, it would be completely reasonable to assume that the chanting is in latin and that theyre talking about something ancient.

so now i have ἀρχἠ (archae) squared away. but i was thinking about it as,,,, i don’t know what. i definitely wasn’t thinking about it like a noun, which is what it is. maybe i was thinking about it in an english sense as in the prefix archae-. i don’t know. so i get hung up there for a while, during which i try to figure out what that first word in the chant was.

i’ve already seen several posts about what people think that first word is and theyre all really good guesses. ive seen “arsit archae” which would be along the lines of the “the ancient has burned” in the latin 3rd person perfect. valid guess. makes sense. i’ve also seen a post guess that that first word was “arsare” (? i think thats how it’s spelled; not a word that ive ever used in latin before). which in the infinitive form as arsare would be something like “to raise the ancients.” totally valid guess. if you take “arsare” and make it a singular imperative as “arsa,” it would become something like (you) raise the ancients! as a command. ive seen a post speculating that it’s “hastae iacio” instead of “archaea.” this translation would be something along the lines of “i throw a spear.” 

but those are all in latin. and i try to avoid latin as much as i can (i really hate latin. i hate greek too but). so im going to approach this as someone who knows greek and has conveniently forgotten that they also know latin. like i said earlier, i’m assuming that the second word in the chant is ἀρχή (archae), beginning. i tried to think of plausible words that would pair with “beginning” in english and then work backwards into greek. i started with “return to.” but in ancient greek, that would be ἐπανιέναι (roughly e-pan-i-EH-nai). which is entirely too long and sounds nothing like the chant. 

(i’m also working under the assumption that the first word is a command because of how ancient greek declines imperatives. but im ultimately wrong, which i figure out after many minutes of wracking my brain and realizing that the letter θ exists and will be a pain in my ass)

eventually, i begin to think of ἀρχή as a noun, which i should have done from the beginning, because it’s a noun. as such, i realize that i should maybe include the definite article. so ἀρχή becomes ἡ ἀρχή (roughly “hey archae”) so that takes care of the second syllable of the first word of the chant. so now im looking for a one syllable word that could work, which tells me im probably looking for a preposition. in terms of prepositions that sound like the first syllable of the chant, there are none that are an exact fit. so i look for the closest match. which i find in the preposition ἐκ (ek), which becomes ἐξ (eks) when it appears before a word beginning with a vowel. the preposition means “out of” or “from.” this is where things get really difficult and upsetting.

the preposition ἐκ must be followed by a genitive. but in the genitive of ἡ ἀρχή (roughly hey archae) becomes τῆς ἀρχῆς (roughly tehs arkhehs), which invalidates the need for ἐξ as the preposition because τῆς does not begin with a vowel. ἐξ would supply the ‘s’ sound at the end of the first word of the chant. and also τῆς ἀρχῆς doesnt sound like the second word of the chant either. so this is where i accept that while “from the beginning” would have been a really cool chant, i’m probably wrong. unless gerard didn’t learn a grammatically correct chant. but that seems unlikely, knowing how dedicated they all are to their art. 

so now i start thinking in terms of modern greek, which i do not know. after some research, i learn that modern greek has the word άσε (roughly ah-seh), which sounds like the first word of the chant and is a second-person singular perfective imperative of the verb αφήνω (roughly a-feh-no), meaning to “leave” or “let go of.” which is. really good and fitting for the general theme of everything they’ve been doing. think about it. “let go of the beginning.” that goes pretty hard. modern greek also has the word αρχή. so theres some pretty compelling evidence that it could be “let go of the beginning” or something along those lines, if the chant is, in fact, in modern greek. but thats unsatisfactory to me. like. i just feel in my heart of hearts that they--overdramatic theatre kids that they are-- would not do a cryptic chant in modern greek. 

so. like i said, i’m probably very wrong, but i had a lot of fun thinking through this (and avoiding my homework to think through it). and i think it would have been really cool for them to have done something in ancient greek, but im a classics major so. 

if you stuck through this post, thank you. and while you’re here I would like to direct you to this post, which posits (with very compelling evidence) that the chant is in kurdish.
