everytime i see ling tongs dw9 design i feel like i won in the lottery cuz his design is so good i love it so much. long rant cringe incoming
it has dw5 vibes but more evolved and the colors go so hard too... and i like how its slimmer overall which fits his weapon (much more than 8 fit the 3 section staff, i love that outfit too cuz it looks so cozy and warm and hes toasty in his scarf and sweater paws. but it doesnt fit his move set using his legs it feels too bulky for that like getting in the way?) the other outfit i didnt like much (the colors clash so much like the pink green purple and dark blue? :/ bad palette) but then the samurai armor dlc was so good (and matching with gan nings which added 3 more years to my life. like when i saw the list before the release i was pogging when i saw that they both have a different description from others but same between each another)
i was so worried before the dw9 design reveals cuz theres always some letdowns and i was fully bracing for them to cut his hair short or come up with something not fitting him like the dw7 draft.. but those madmen made his hair twice as long i was winning and the outfit was an instant fave like my most fav was 8 then i just immediately pushed it aside. make room for 9 this is the best
i wonder what they cook up for 10 if its coming, if and when its coming..., i hope they introduce alternates/dlc too cuz more designs more fun.. i just dont know what they could do next so im just gonna hope it wont be shite but like i think i would live if they changed up his hair but its like some characters can go thru big changes but others have a more singular look so its just about lenght here. his ponytail is so cute i want them to keep it 😭 i also think if they changed his weapon they would probably be inclined to go with the armor-y look they drafted before which doesnt fit much imo, id rather have something similar to the current design but maybe with wider sleeves thats cute, and fingerless gloves!!!! please. and the long hair with middle part or side part im praying 🙏🧎
also i gotta mention gan ning here cuz he went thru a few hairstyles and i gotta say it was also a letdown that while they just reused his dw8 hair for 9, they cut off his mullet! which is my most fave thing! especially how its slightly darker at the longest part.. like man... cant have shit in the three kingdoms (i joke that what they cut off they gave to ling tong [insert after surgery meme wheres gan ning? who do you think gave you the extra hair])
but like for him idc what color or style they do, like surprise me but give him a mullet its funney and give him earrings/piercings and more bells. thats my base in the pyramid of needs like idk why they went with just one bell in the final design since the drafts had more (and also a really cool hairstyle) also remove the stupidass feathers (its nice in 8 kinda cuz more subtle and still keeps the feathers included somehow but i also loved how they just pinned them to his butt in 7 and also how over the top it was in 6 though those are like rooster feathers not goose lmaobut also idk where i read about him being connected to crows so its nice theyre black. also thinking about how one artist used to just draw him without them. boss move. and how sometimes they dont load in 9 in game like the console also hates them lmao)

bakusquad when they’re on instagram (headcannons!)
——————————————————————
bakugo’s instagram:
-doesn’t post a lot on instagram, but when he does OHMYGODDDJ
-he would post mirror selfies of him flexing with songs attatched. (maybe it’s just the camera angle but his arms r HUGE ASFFF—)
-does he post bakusquad? tbh rarely. bc of his big ahh ego. but since he’s getting better and warming up to them he’ll repost his friend’s posts if he’s tagged in them (hangouts, workout posts)
-he only posts stories
-his username is probably something corny as hell, like: 
king.explosionmurder , kb_explosionmurder , imbetterthanyou, LMAOO
or something else like that 😭
-omg. and if ur lucky enough to get on his close friends story, (from time to time,) he’ll post himself lip syncing to audios. DONT EVEN GET ME STARYEDDD
-he knows he’s attractive. like literally post more please.
-only thing on his acc is one highlight of himself.
-his pfp? mirror selfie covering his face 🤷‍♀️
kirishima’s instagram:
-omg y’all this cutie and his instagram.
-most-if not ALL of his stories are selfies with his friends, and he most DEFINITELY has a weekly dump of them.
-his selfies with them r mostly him and his friends working out, but he’ll post even the little selfies like them at lunch. 
-he WILL go on a story spam when the baku squad hangs out. 
-he’ll post his workout progress on his story fs 
-let’s be real he’ll post those motivational quotes
-his username would be his hero name or his regular name with his bday numbers 🤷‍♀️ (redriot1016, e.kirishima1016, )
-his main posts are kinda a pattern; himself, then his friends, then himself again.
-when he posts on main posts of his friends he would attach funny ass videos of them, and dumb challenges the bakusquad would do with each other
-his two main highlights r himself and his friends ofc, but he would have a highlight for each hangout to make it extra special ☹️
kaminari’s instagram:
-out of the whole bakusquad, denki and mina are the most active.
-i think we all know how he would be like fr 
-he is definitely that person who reposts EVERYTHING HE SEES ON HIS FEED; REELS, POSTS, MEMES,
— he spams his stories ( he made a gc on insta with the rest of the squad that are MAINLY him spamming them with reels; bakugo kept leaving it but kaminari keeps inviting him back in)
-but waitwaitwait; be careful skipping through his stories bc he WILL post some FINE ass selfies of himself for the hoes
-he also won’t hesitate to post himself lip syncing to songs on his public story
-like kirishima, he posts his friends a lot!
-he’ll post on his story with those add-ons that have to do with friends and he’ll make a mini collage of his squad :)))
-his username?… it’s probably one of those “theyluv___” “theyfw___” type shi 😭
-kaminari. has. a. lot. of. main posts.
-but they come out hella good; he prolly searches up “instagram post ideas” on pinterest
-his pinned post was when he had a whole photoshoot in a parking lot garage which funny story:
(the bakusquad decided to hang out at the mall, and they arrived at the parking lot garage. mina brought up how it was a good place to take pictures here and denki RAN with that. next thing yk;
bakugo was pissed asf waiting for them sitting down on the ground,
jirou was being denki’s photo critic,
sero was helping kirishima get the angles right,
and mina was showing denki what poses he should do. they were there for an hour. )
-he complains how his acc isn’t getting seen but he forgot that he put his acc on private
ashido’s instagram:
-second most active on instagram
-SHE HAS THAT HOT GIRL ACC FR
-she posts a lot, but her three pinned posts are: selfies of herself, a photoshoot of herself, and one of those cool hot photoshoots with the squad
-her highlights are: “💋” (herself) , “🔛🔝” (bakusquad)”, “my loves” (class 1A girls)
-her username is probably “iheart___” or something simple like “minaa_a”
-she posts herself a lot on her story AND EATS IT UP EVERYTIMEEE
-and she posts her friends on her story as equally as she posts herself ♡
-she posts a LOT on her close friends, she posts memes but mainly funny videos and pictures of the squad. including funny gc screenshots
-when her friends post she’ll repost them like 3 times, and spam/hype them up in the comments 🤗
jirou’s instagram:
-this girl got the whole themed instagram acc quickly.
-she only uses instagram to be up to date with music artists so she doesn’t care abt posting
-her username would probably just be her name or something like: “j_kyoka”
-but she does have one main post, and it’s a guitar she got for her birthday 🤗
-she posts reels of her doing all sorts of song covers with different instruments LIKE AHHHH
-her covers get a lot of attention, denki asks her how he could get attention on his acc
-since her acc got a lot of public attention (she’s thinking abt making another one just for song covers) everyone in class 1A is on her close friends so she could post stuff she’d like to keep a little private; like her friends, hangouts
-on her public story she would repost concert tour dates, music artists posts, stuff like that.
-she would post screenshots of songs she’s listening to on her public story
-sadly she doesn’t post herself—unless it’s a selfie of her getting a new instrument or something lol
-there was this one time she posted a cute selfie of herself in her cfs on accident, and denki and mina hyped her up sm fr ☹️
mina:
“YESSS”
“POST MORE 🗣️🗣️”
denki:
“OHMYOGF”
“U POSTED”
“OKAY JIRO I SEE YOUU”
jirou:
“sthu”
-she has a public highlight for covers, and her cf highlights are her friends !
-she doesn’t ask to take that much pictures with them, she usually reposts her friends stories when she’s tagged in them
-but she loves recording denki being stupid lol, she also has a cf highlight of that
sero’s instagram:
-almost like a bakusquad fan acc
-he’s like in the middle of jirou and denki when it comes to posting on his story
-he’ll repost memes, but not as much
-he posts sky pictures just bc 🤗 he has a highlight for them
-he doesn’t post himself ☹️😒 unless it’s a selfie with the squad
-in fact, he has a lot of main posts of JUST him and the bakusquad; he’s also the cameraman
-but he mainly takes pictures and videos a lot with denki, their pictures are funny ASF
-instead of just one highlight of the whole squad, he has a silly highlight for each of them!!
-funny videos, funny pictures, funny screenshots of things they said, you name it
-he also has a highlight for tiktoks the squad do together it’s so funny and cute
-his feed is everywhere tbh; a mix of memes and the squad
-his username is probably a meme quote or something like “notserohanta” 💀
———————————————————————

A/N: something quick and simple to feed y’all <3
——————————————
Tumblr media
“Oh my gosh.” You groaned out as you finally sat down for the first time today, you’ve been busy cleaning as you couldn’t stand a messy house. You’ve been cleaning since 9 o’clock in the morning, every little cranny in the house was no longer untouched by you. Cleaning used to be therapeutic for you, but the extra weight and tension makes it more of a dreaded task than a fun activity.
The music blasting through the home, beginning to become bothersome as you lay your head back against the top of your cushioned couch. Eyes closing just to rest in the inevitable darkness, reminding you that a good nap could be snuck in before Joe gets here.
“I need a bath or something.” You mumble out as your body feels sticky and hot, preparing to get up from your comfy seat. One. Two. Three. You counted before boosting out of your seat and practically waddling over to your speaker to cut it off, a small huff leaving your plumped lips in exhaust.
---
The warm water surrounding your body and loosening your tight muscles, the delicate scent of vanilla and lavender filling your nose sweetly. The bubbles resting on the still water up to your collar bones, hands placed on the side of the tub.
Pure relaxation is what you would consider this situation which was well needed. Face mask on, eyes closed, head tilted back as you almost fall asleep.
Remembering the task at hand, the relaxing bath now becoming an “everything” shower as you realized that you’re going to have to stand to get the job done. Not bothered as the hot water runs down your soapy body, throat humming a familiar tune as the sounds of water create the background.
Finishing up, you step out into the foggy bathroom, towel quickly wrapping around your body as you make your way to the sink/vanity. Not paying any mind to the fogged mirror, the body lotions and oils placed in front of you as you begin to lather up. Getting dressed in your (his) T-shirt and some comfy bottoms, after doing some finishing touches of your after-shower routine,
Leaving the hot and humid bathroom to head into the cooled bedroom making you regret turning down the thermostat earlier. Quickly dumping the dirty clothes into the laundry hamper and getting into the warm, soft sheets of your comforter.
Your phone notifications are spamming at the perfect time, already knowing who it is. Joesph. Your high school best friend turned best friend with benefits turned baby daddy. Unintentionally smiling as you take your phone off the charger immediately to answer him.
I got the food so u better be hungry
I’m almost there
Give me like 10 mins
Actually 15 bcs I gotta stop for gas
Put something cute on for me
Read 6:49pm
Aww so sweet
I always look cute
Read 6:52pm
“I hope he got McDonalds… or-“cutting your speech off as you think about all the different food options he could’ve got or that you would have loved to eat. Laying back against the big reading pillow, playing on your phone as you wait impatiently. Body now super pumped for his visit, the baby now beginning to move around as if they knew who was about to show up.
Smiling as you caress over the huge bump, feeling your baby pressing against your soft hand. “I know, he’s almost here. Just a few more minutes.” You speak sweetly as the baby begins to kick against the side, as uncomfortable as it is, you seem to be in a trance of complete admiration. One thing Joe could always do was get the baby excited. It’s like as soon as they heard his voice or sensed that he was near they went ballistic.
---
The doorbell ringing causing you to perk up excitedly, you don’t know why he was ringing the doorbell considering he has a key so his hands must be full. “Coming.” You call out as you quickly slip your feet into your slippers and head to the front door, “Any day now baby.” He calls from the other side jokingly as you open the door for him, lips falling into a pout as he chuckles.
“I wasn’t that slow.” Eyes playfully rolling at the man walking behind you with the bags of food, going to grab one to help before he pulls away. “You’re already carrying a lot.” His head tilting down at your belly, a small smile forming on your lips.
Your gaze leaving Joe’s eyes to observe his outfit (and body), the grey sweats fitting loosely over his thick thighs and white t-shirt tight on his pecs, muscles bulging as he holds the food and his long fingers wrapping around the large drink.
“Whatcha thinkin about?” His deep voice taking you out from your trance, shaking your head embarrassingly as you just got caught. Lips forming in a smirk as he knows you were checking him out. Avoiding his question, you go to look inside the bag before he pulls away from you.
“Answer me.” He says as he places the food down onto the table but blocking the food. “The food. Now please move.” A rough huff leaving your mouth as you cross your arms at the man, he rolls his eyes before scooting to the side.
“That’s not how you say thank you.” He mumbles before taking a bite of a fry, you look over at him before puckering out your lips teasingly. His eyebrows perking up excitedly as he tries to go in for a kiss, “Thank you so much!” you giggle as you quickly pull away from him causing his lips to form an annoyed pout. “Whatever.” He pokes your side gently.
The room is now quiet as you guys sit down with the delicious food and eat. Joe putting on a random movie for background noise, knowing how you feel about prolonged silences. “Did you hear about Chris and Aaliyah?” Your body perking up as you remember the small drama you found out yesterday regarding some ex-college friends,
Joe’s eyebrows immediately scrunching in confusion. “No what?” wiping his thick fingers with the small napkin, making you lose your train of thought, “Oh my gosh! Really!” You say already knowing the answer but adding you your dramatics.
Joe smiling at your excitement to tell him, reminding him of the past times when you guys would sit in each other’s dorms, and you would go on a whole rant about little things you heard throughout the day. He missed it, it was one of his favorite things, still is. He couldn’t imagine someone else being able to hear you speak with such passion and excitement over other people’s lives. It was so cute to him, even though he didn’t know half the people you were talking about.
“Don’t be messy, you’re too pretty for that.” Or “Why do you care?” would become his go-to every time you had those rants, but he knew you just wanted to entertain him and yourself. Don’t get him started on your “Guess what’s” every time you would see him, the cutest thing he ever encountered in high school. He misses it and doesn’t want to let it go for someone else to take.
Snapping out of his thoughts when he notices your eyes of concern, “You’re not listening?” you ask as your lips fall into a thin line of embarrassment. “No- no I was.” He reassures as he fixes his posture, “You weren’t but that’s okay. It honestly was boring.” You giggle as you go back to eating your food.

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE <3
to celebrate i was going to give you an itzy spam but im exhausted from school so i thought i'd entertain your minds with my newest obsession :3 BASKETBALL BABE RYUJIN UWU AND OMG I HAVE THE SOFTEST THOUGHT EVER TKEAJLKGDLKSJLKJLKSDJ erm anyways enjoy this headcanon of being girlfriends with the star of the basketball team *cough go heat cough* also shoutout to anyone that plays a sport or likes to play for fun you gays/gurls/besties are amazing 🫶🏼
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
warning: mentions of g!p bc i need this to happen rn or i'll cry, dom!ryujin
um first what's not to love about this girl like ???
you both met at one of her games only she teases you now about falling for her because you literally tripped over your shoes and fell on top of her as she was heading to the court to warm up
making sure you were ok she then has her eyes on you the whole game
and also makes a friendly wager with you that if she scored the last basket you'd give her your number
...
three months and one day later you both started dating and ryujin still manages to score the last basket for you
perks of dating the star player include-
becoming friends with her whole team
instant skips in line for lunch bc her team won the game last night
wearing ryujin's jersey when she's not around
and her fawning over it being on your body
on days that the match is lost or ryujin gets pulled to the bench she becomes a different person
however with you in her life ryujin's temper dies down along with her habit of breaking things expect your back bc she loves to break that <3
watching her run up and down the court working up a sweat can make you overheat sometimes wink wonk
and she knows what she's doing to you everything she looks up and sees your legs squeezed shut-
HA
locker room sex
sex in the locker room
did i mention after game sex in the locker room???
s c r e a m
her shorts on the floor, you on your knees sucking her off bc she's too tired to fuck you
swooooooooon
cumming in your mouth and then suddenly getting enough energy to pick you up and have you riding her dick with your legs wrapped around her waist-
while she french kisses you
lowkey feeling like she would like to be called daddy while she rails you....
her taking off her jersey and making you wear only that as she takes you naked from behind <3
OR better yet making you touch yourself on top of her jersey while she watches not doing anything until you stain it and then she proceeds to fuck you fast and hard
like extremely fast bc practice makes your girlfriend strong and with double endurance
oh yeah multiple rounds with ryujin are a must i don't make the rules
she'll keep going even after you pass out from exhaustion making you her pretty little cum dump :3
loves to spoil you after a very lengthy and hot 'practice' session with ice cream by uni
and she does all the laundry while you order your favorite takeout to eat and binge something cuddling in your girlfriend's arms

Hi there! I saw the post about the requests! If you don't mind, Imma dump the three ideas I have here in one ask so I don't spam you. Apologies if there's not enough info in them or are too jumbled to understand! I'm not great at sending requests.
A Dragonborn tav who wishes to cuddle with Astarion/Rest their head against him, but can't due to horn/spike placement. Frustration on tav's end and, after some confusion, an emense amount of teasing on Astarion's. Maybe they find out some way to have resting on Astarion better.
Astarion helping out Tav after Tav had a medical surgery thing. They're just in pain for the first few days and Astarion just helps them out. (Mostly just want some personal comfort for my own recent surgery. I'm in pain.)
Dragonborn Tav doing some Dragonborn courting rituals to get Astarion's attention. Maybe even trying to research Eleven courting rituals to do so.
Went ahead and went with the second ask in this list. If you still want the others you can send them again! I prefer separate requests because it's easier for me to keep track of, but I appreciate that you have so many ideas for me :)
TW - broken bones
Recommended Song: Lovers Rock - TV Girl
Living a normal life comes with far too many responsibilities. Sure, killing goblins and avoiding shadows is stressful, but buying groceries? Doing dishes? It seems like there's something every single damn day, especially when you're renovating a house.
Now, Astarion loves priding himself on being a great bargainer, making a sweet deal out of any situation, and he figured a place with good bones like this would be a steal if he could cut the price a little. Was he wrong? Of course not, he has a habit of being right almost always, which can be frustrating. However, the two of you bit off far more than you could chew, especially when it came to the staircase that was practically falling apart. Mind you, neither you or Astarion are renovators, but both of you are far too stubborn for your own good.
"I'm sure we could get someone to fix it, right? Just needs some extra support."
You raise a brow at him.
"And spend more money? No way, we should just do it ourselves. I'm sure one of our friends has some extra wood lying around."
That's when you make the mistake of going up a couple steps to see just how bad the damage is. Apparently this place used to house a group of rowdy adventurers who couldn't help but destroy everything in their path. When you fall asleep on the floor every night, guess it doesn't really matter if you can't get up to any of the bedrooms. As you're analyzing the stairs, there's a crack beneath your feet, which you ignore.
"Darling, perhaps you should just take a look from down here?"
When you go to turn and tell him you'll be fine, your leg takes a plunge through the wood, subsequently fracturing several bones in your foot.
"Gods, damn it!"
You manage to cry out, trying to pull yourself out of the tattered floor. Astarion helps you, helping you get back down to the first floor, trying to make sure he doesn't face a similar fate.
"I guess a trip to Shadowheart's is in order."
You shake your head.
"Nope, her and Halsin are on that healer's retreat, remember? In Waterdeep?"
"Shit, I suppose you're right dove. When are they getting back?"
You sigh.
"Tonight, sadly."
It was currently far too early in the morning, as the two of you wanted to get a head start on your fixer-upper today.
"Alright, we'll just have to go see someone in town I suppose."
"Aster, we do not have the money for that right now. We've already budgeted everything for the house, I can't go see some uppity Baldurian doctor who's going to charge us far more gold than they're worth."
"Well, what do you suggest we do then?"
"Wait til Shadowheart and Halsin get back? I mean it's really all we can do."
"Gods Tav, we had so much planned today. Those tieflings are coming by to tile the kitchen at noon! And you know I am not good at being nice to strangers."
"Well my love, looks like you're going to have to learn, because I cannot walk on this thing."
You groan in pain, trying to flex your foot, feeling all the little spots your bones broke.
"To the bed we go then."
Astarion wraps you up in his arms, taking you to what in a couple of weeks is supposed to be the study. For now though, it's a makeshift bedroom. He gently lies you on the bed, getting a pillow for under your foot. Then, he thinks about how he truly does not like being broke, but the both of you didn't want to impose on any of your friends, staying at their place for any longer than you had to. Gale offered, but the thought of being all cramped up in his new tower was suffocating.
"Are you okay Aster?"
Your voice wakes him from his thoughts.
"Yes my dear, just thinking about our raggedy circumstances."
"It'll be nice when it's done, and when my foot's not broke."
The two of you chuckle.
"As much as I love living with you, I didn't think domestic life was quite this, complex."
He moves to lie down next to you, careful not to move your wounded foot.
"You still want this though, right?"
"Of course, a nice house to ourselves? A space just for us? I can't imagine a better investment. Just not quite used to all the contractors and market visits and drunken nights yet, all the normal things, the things I would've done so much sooner if..."
Astarion shakes his head, as if trying to get the thoughts out of his mind.
"Never mind all that, I should get you some tea."
Before you can tell him that it's alright, that you want to hear what he has to say, he's gone to the kitchen. Instead you just lay on the bed, thinking of just how lucky the two of you are. Two troubled souls set up for failure, and yet here you are. You laugh a little, thinking about how lucky you are with a shattered foot.
"Here we are my darling, a hot brew just for you."
He helps you sit up, making sure you keep your leg elevated.
"Easy my dove, don't want to break anything else do we?"
The hours pass by as the two of you wait for the tilers to come, talking about all the projects you were going to start today. It's nice, having a project, something to strive towards that isn't murdering someone or working through some major trauma. Just the two of you drinking tea in some old house, sitting on a bed that you'll have to break down and bring upstairs, and then put back together. While Astarion very easily could have left you to your devices and gotten started on all your little plans, he stayed by your side, talking about everything and nothing.
"This is just the beginning."
You say, suddenly breaking a natural silence.
"What is?"
"This. We get to start over. This is the beginning of us starting over."
He smiles at your whimsical view of things.
"I suppose you're right."

bad idea right?
Yae Miko x Reader
You were out in a bar with your friends until you received a text from a person you hadn't thought of in months. Yes, she’s your ex, but can’t two people reconnect?
Tw: alcohol, exes, implied sex.
---
Hello! This one was inspired by the song of the same name by Olivia Rodigo. Give it a listen, it's great.
The mood was light and fresh as you raised your glass to a cheer.
“For us!” Lumine said followed along by the clink of your glasses. You were out with your friends drinking yourselves under the table in celebration for surviving another grueling day of work.
You watched your friends with a warm smile as they messed around the table, Lumine holding her brother in a chokehold as she downed her drink, Sara going on another rant about how great their boss, Ei, is to a half conscious amber. You couldn’t help the warm bubbles of laughter that came out of you, you wouldn't ask for a better group even if they were all a little weird.
Bzzzt—
Then your phone buzzed. Odd, who’d message you at this hour? All the main culprits were with you right now so you hoped it wouldn't be work.
You look at your phone screen and raise an eyebrow, an unknown number? You would have passed it on as spam if it wasn’t for the actual content of the text.
‘Hi Darling~’
Huh. A wrong number situation? maybe someone thought you were their partner or maybe someone managed to give your number to an unwanted flirt.
‘I know what you’re probably thinking right now but don’t go blocking me just yet! I just changed my phone recently so you won’t recognize it.’
You dropped your head on your hand with a lazy smile as you watched what this mystery messenger had to say, maybe it might be someone you know and if not then it would make a fun story.
‘So here is a picture to refresh your mind~’
Ding!
Ah.
The moment the image came through all the booze that had clouded your mind completely disappeared.
Long soft pink hair, eye-catching golden accessories, soft fair skin, plump and teasing red lips pulled into a smirk and sharp purple eyes that threatened to swallow you whole.
You could never forget her.
‘It’s Miko!’
Your ex.
Lumine is the one that notices first.
“Y/N, what’s wrong?” Dammit, the siblings have always been really perceptive.
“Uh, n-nothing!” You try to stuff your phone into your pockets but somehow Sara swipes it out of your hand much faster than a drunk person should and stares at the picture with intensity.
“Who is this?” Sara was actually a new addition to the group so she wouldn't know much of your own romantic life, actually the only ones that would are…
“YAE MIKO!?” Lumine screamed the moment she saw the sly woman’s face, while you could only cover your face with your hands. The twins are your oldest friends so they know about her.
“Why is that fox texting you!? What does she want!?” Lumine immediately enters protective mode at the mere sight of her.
“I don’t know…” You drag your hands down your face. “She just suddenly started messaging with a new number.”
“Ooooh, she’s preeeettyy!” Amber coos which stuns Lumine.
“No! Amber, don't fall for her face!” Lumine pulls her girlfriend back. “She’s a sly and cunning liar who will tear you apart!”
“I think I’m missing something here.” Sara states.
“Yae Miko was Y/N’s girlfriend through almost all of university, prettiest girl in school, super popular and came from a rich family. She basically had it all.” Aether explained as he took a sip from his glass while Sara nodded along.
“But in our final year that woman left after her family got an opportunity to branch out in Inazuma, she dropped our beloved Y/N like an old rag in seconds and disappeared without even a goodbye!” Lumine ranted as if somehow she had been the one who got dumped.
You sank into your seat as you recalled that day. It was a completely normal day so you didn’t expect anything of what happened.
First Miko completely disappears from campus, she doesn’t answer any of your texts or calls and only when you were about to fall asleep did she send you a single message.
‘We’re done.’
The last thing you heard of her for months. You spent the last few months of university like a zombie and only recently started getting back on your feet so this sudden message is a real gut punch to you.
You carefully take your phone back from Sara and stuff it back in your pocket as you force yourself to smile. “It’s no big deal, I don’t know what she wants and I don’t care to find out, so if you’ll excuse me I need the bathroom.”
You walked through the busy bar between drunk people and rowdy tables until you reached the, thankfully, empty bathroom and slumped over the sinks. Your reflection in the mirror didn’t look any better than how you felt and you couldn’t help but let out a sigh, of course something would happen to ruin the mood.
Bzzzt—
You groan once more as you feel your phone vibrate once more and reluctantly pull out your phone, planning to black her number to get it over with.
‘Aww, leaving me on read is so mean! Has my little Y/N entered their rebellious stage?’
Even through text you could hear the teasing tone she always had when trying to fluster you and you hate how it’s working!!
You glare at the red faced reflection on the mirror, you shouldn’t feel like this to your ex! She left you! Just block her!
‘Or maybe you need more proof?’
Ding!
Ah.
Your brain turns to mush at the new image, your thoughts turning into a mess as your face heats up even more.
It’s a selfie of her laying on her bed, a loose black shirt that hugged her in the right places and raised just high enough to let you see her slim tummy and just tantalizing enough to leave whatever was lower to your wild imagination and her wide hips hugged nicelly by a pair of gray shorts that stuck to her figure.
God that is so unfair and she knows it!!
‘Well, I’ll be waiting my little treasure~’
She even dares to use the nickname she had for you before sending you her new address, only a few minutes from here.
You push away your phone and use the sink to splash some water onto your face to try and fail to erase the raging blush on your face.
If it was anyone else you would laugh at their attempts but this is Yae Miko you’re talking about. Seeing her tonight would be a bad idea.
But your brain has already started to go over the moment you spent together. The monet at school where you would sit together and chat as you waited for class to start. The little dates after school to small restaurants or even just for coffee where she would hold your hand, her delicate and perfectly manicured fingers interlaced with yours.
Seeing her tonight would be a bad idea.
The nights you would spend together either talking to each other or just enjoying the other's presence until the sun rose. The way she would rest her head on your shoulder, humming out a tune on the bus ride to school.
Seeing her tonight would be a bad idea…
The way her hands would touch you so softly as if you were something precious or holy and she’d call you her treasure. The intimate and soft smiles that she would save only for you.
Seeing her tonight would be a bad idea… right?
You glance again at your phone…
You walk out of the bathroom and back to your table. “Well, I think I am done for the night, so I’ll be going to sleep now.” Lumine booed but couldn’t do much with a sleeping Amber on her shoulder.
You leave your part of the bill on the table and go for the door.
“You’re not planning to go meet her, are you?” You stop at Aether’s voice,worried that he might have figured you out. This guy can be really dense in most big situations but annoyingly perceptive to the smallest things.
“N-no?” Oh you blew it! Why did you say it as a question!!
Aether stares at you for a few seconds before he hiccups and his face turns slightly red, the alcohol taking over once more. “Alright, good night Y/N.”
You let out a sigh of relief as you leave the bar and wave a taxi, you think about it for a second before giving him the directions that Miko gave you.
It’s fine, it’s fine. You are just going to… talk! Yeah, talk. You are just going to reconnect, maybe be friends…
God what a bad lie…
And suddenly, even in the dark of the night, you spot her.
The same pink hair, black shirt and shorts that she had in the picture she sent you. And she’s nervous.
After such a long time you still have her mannerisms memorized. The way she picks at her nails would seem like she’s bored but you know she’s tense, her body rigid and an arm wrapped around herself in comfort.
Her eyes immediately lock onto the taxi, her eyes wide and expecting. The moment you step out her face brightens like a little kid on Christmas, her eyes sparkling as if she just looked at the brightest star in the sky. That’s not the way you would usually look at your ex right?
But you aren’t any better, your heart threatening to jump out of your chest at the mere sight of her.
“Hello, my treasure~” And that does it, like the last nail in the coffin.
You said you were going to sleep but never specified where so… under her sheets should be fine, right?

Yandere Sugar Daddy!BTS: You try to break the agreement (Maknae Line)

WARNINGS: Implicit age gap; stalking; toxic relations; manipulation; money dependency; blackmail; kidnapping.
AN: Let me just say that a sugar daddy/baby relations doesn't necessarly imply sex. Many times it can be only for the companionship and nothing more. Hope you guys like it💖

Tumblr media
Jimin
Worst surprise of his life. Jimin leaves you for a few days due to a business trip and while he’s gone, you decide to go rogue and end the agreement. That’s what he gets for leaving you, he knows you shouldn’t be left alone ever. That’s the sole reason for you behaving like this.
Not once it crosses his mind that maybe it’s because of his clingy and unbearable personality that you want to leave him for probably a better sugar daddy, but it doesn’t matter anyways. He will get you back. Jimin can’t go back home because of an important company deal but meanwhile he’s gonna spam you with hundreds of messages and thousands of calls, until you finally change numbers.
During this time, Jimin would go from hurt, to upset, to angry, just for the cycle to reinitiate. He can’t stop himself from feeling like this when you’re dumping him out of nowhere. He needs you. And he knows you need him too. Well, maybe you need his money more but that’s still a part of him.
Just wait until he gets home. Jimin won’t stop until he finds you and once he does, he’s gonna drag you to your new luxurious home, cause that’s where you belong. With him.
“Princess, please, just call me back. Is this because of the allowance money? I can give you more, if you want to. Why won’t you pick up my calls? Stupid bitch! Call me back, you listening to me? I’m gonna take a flight back home and we’re gonna have a nice talk. I’m not angry, I promise. I just wanna talk.”
Tumblr media
V
You can’t leave him, he won’t believe it. Not when you simply contact his lawyer to tell him to terminate your contract with Taehyung. How dare you? Are you that weak that can’t even face him? Yes, maybe he was always a little too pushy with you but that’s because you are his. If that’s how you want to be, then be it. You wanted to end things in a clean way, well too bad cause Taehyung wants to make a scene.
You can’t leave him because you want to. After months of dealing with him, you should’ve known better. Taehyung is gonna make a grandiose scene, personally picking you up from your college with his lavish BMW and by discussing all of the issues loudly and clearly in front of the entire campus.
You wanted to leave quietly? Too bad cause Taehyung likes to live scandalously and he’s gonna make sure everyone knows what you did to get your tuition money. Even if nothing sexual actually happened, he’s still gonna imply it. Let the world know that you’re his, Kim Taehyung’s sugar baby.
He personally picked you from the rest of the people, therefore you don’t get to call your life your own, but yes his. And the sooner you realize it, the better for you. Taehyung has a large donation’s base, which includes your college. Meaning if he wants to, the dean may simply kick you out of college because he wants to.
So, you better be careful cause you’re walking on very thin ice, from now on.
“Keep my voice down? I don’t think so. You don’t want your friends to know that you’re my sugar baby? That all the money you spent on your college, books, clothes, it’s all mine? If you think that I'm just gonna let you go, then you’re very wrong.”
Tumblr media
JK
Can’t be happening. After everything he’s done for you and you still leave him? Jungkook completely disregards the fact that you once told him it was simply a temporary arrangement for you. How come he fell for you, and you didn’t?
It’s actually embarrassing how Jungkook made himself successful in the cruel world of business, yet can’t handle a heartbreak. That’s because you’re too special for him. You’re his everything. Everyday he’d look forward to text you or call you and talk about his day with you. And you were always interested in his day to day, meaning you cared for him, right?
Sure, it was a little weird, considering that it was an online sugar daddy-baby relation and that you never saw each other in real life, except for a few face pictures he literally begged you for, but it all felt so real to him, so why do you have to leave him?
After a few miserable days, Jungkook finally decides to take you all for himself. Maybe once you’re with him, he can convince you that you two belong together and that he can make you so happy. All you need is to give him a chance and he'll prove you that he's worth it.
“Please, don’t be scared. I promise I won't hurt you if you behave. All I want is to love you.”

hiii im drunk hello well not rly drunk just yet but i will be in like 29 minutes
Anyway
snc asking for volunteers looool babes you get millions of views, own property, fly first class, and colbt admitted to spending 10k in one month on clothes. id happily mod for them bc im not in the fandom just happily observing but pay me fellazzz AND give me a hoodie every merch drop thanksss
Im not on xplrclub but dude it sounds so frustrating it sounds like its full of children. likw how embarrassing to dicuss someones peepee and then what if they pipe in and go uhhhh excuse me??? bro EMBARRASSINGGF and gross
- aussie anon
hey aussie anon, i hope you had fun drunk haha
the one thing i have to say tho, even tho i agree with your whole ask, is that snc don't actually fly first class most times, at least from what they have told us. they said the only time they really do that is if they are travelling overseas on a long flight. so for australia… they probably will lol
the only way i would mod for free is if they let me be on the site for free. comp the money i would be spending on there and maybe i would be okay with watching an insufferable chat full of ppl i blocked on twitter and insta.
look old xplrclub had it's issue, mostly bc the app would crash all the time, it couldn't handle having ppl spam in chat during livestreams, and it would just be kinda laggy overall. also, my main gripe, there was no tagging system so if you wanted to see a video, even from a month ago, you would have to scroll and scroll to find it. now times that by the fact they've been on there since 2021. so a lot of videos are basically lost to the test of time lol
but this one… it's definitely better. it has a tagging system. the members feed where ppl can post stuff is kinda nice (but also deeply concerning how many ppl trauma dump and then beg snc to say hi to them in the same sentence) and the content itself is good. but this chat is just not necessary and will cause so many more issues later down the line, i just know it.
and the chat talking about snc's dicks like that is very concerning. look, i get it, we're all human, and sometimes that means having sexual conversations. you wanna do that in dms with another friend of yours, go right ahead. but doing it in a PUBLIC CHAT where SNC CAN SEE YOU is…. very odd behavior. i think some forget that snc see what they post.
or it probably ties back to all of these ppl thinking "well i pay $19 a month, i can talk about whatever" / so many ppl thinking they own snc in some way, shape, or form so there should be no issue for them to objectify them and sexualize them. these fans don't see them as ppl, just characters in a tv show. so that's why they can talk about them any way they want to.

Story time
uhmm just sharing, it's rare for me to watch uhh Sci-fi genre or super hero stuffs. I'm more into romance type of person. But then I had a conversation with someone on this app(i don't want to mention the app because I don't if she's on tumblr, she might see this post haha I hope this post doesn't blew up.) it started with an anonymous love confession, not in the creepy way confession because I posted a link about where you can confess everything. If you know 'Sayout' you will understand, so it intended that I will receive tons of anonymous messages from someone. But after that she confessed by directly messaging me. (our story is like a fanfiction plot. I don't want to share it haha it's too obvious.) The two of us talk a lot, she's kind of out of my league, prolly having a different interest in life. She recommended stranger things to me, she said to me that I should watch it because I will probably like it. Before I watch ST, I know already Robin because of her famous meme, also that one scene Max levitating in the air in s4. It's all over my news feed. Speaking of robin she have Robin vibes I dunno whyy huhu.
Other than that, she likes superhero themes, she's a fan of marvel movies and likes(prolly loves spider man because of her uhh dump account on Instagram.) speaking of ig, she posted several post that she's on movie theater, she wants me to go watch with her! She get excited when she's having a story time mostly of her favorite shows. I swear, I never talk alot in personal so I don't know how to reply😭✋and she always make the first move of the convo. yeah we didn't end up cause I don't know why, we end up in that situation:D maybe is not a match. so basically we both decided to be friends, we're both busy in school works because that time we're uhh graduating student. Out of the blue the conversation stopped. My last convo with her was on her birthday, then we never talked again but before graduating we saw each other often in school grounds were school-mates. In the end I gather some my memories all together before the two of us have a conversation. Then we actually always cross each other path in hallways in the past! also her friends have a connection to my friends but we're not close enough that time to talk. Not until that anonymous confession thing happened.
After that I watch everything she recommended but I never chat with her again cause everything has change, not the same anymore it's been 2 years. Maybe if this is a fanfiction, I have a chance but this is real life, it's moreee way awkward if I chat again. I'm fine if she did the first move, it would been better to happen.
Then May last year someone message me in that link again, anonymously spammed me😭 with 'I miss you' and other stuff like that.
And then someone message me again in November. it's a birthday greeting. Sayout have a reply button in this year, so I can reply to any messages then I ask if that person message me 8 months ago then it said 'yes'. I know it's same person because of used of emoji and writing style, It's always the same and have a code on it but Somehow, doesn't ring the bell. But my other flings I block them haha because of how bad they treated me. This person the subject on this post is the only one I never block in my accounts, so she can see the link attached in my profile.
Yeah who knows? but I never suspect things. I guess i just overthinking everything.
I dunno why I shared this but yeahh, I guess the two of us should probably talk more.

Stumbled Beginnings:
Chapter 1 - Dinner and Diatribes
Tumblr media
Prologue
Co-written with @spacewitchqueen ♡
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrómeda García hated her own name. She never told it to anybody, unless they specifically asked for it. And, even if they did, it was quickly followed by ���but you can call me Andro’, which was not any better because it made her sound like a humanoid robot, but at least it was easier to remember. What were they thinking, her parents, naming her after a constellation?
It had already been a few days since she had gone with her friends to that karaoke bar, and had given her number to the good-looking military guy who sang ABBA. He hadn’t called. Or texted. The first day, she had been waiting by the phone, looking excitedly at the screen every time it rang, hoping it was him. Then… She kind of had forgotten about it. If he hadn’t got in contact yet, he probably wouldn’t do it. It was fine, there were plenty of fish in the sea.
That’s why she was so surprised when she heard her phone’s ringtone and, after getting it out of the back pocket of her jeans, saw she didn’t have the number of whoever was calling in her contacts. Maybe spam? She was walking her dog, a huge rottweiler named Goliath, who had just decided to stop and sniff the corner of a building, where probably many other canines had gone to the toilet. This would take some time, then. She answered.
‘Hi, Andrómeda here.’
How she hated saying that.
‘Ah. That’s your name then.’
She frowned, slightly. She didn’t recognize the voice.
‘Yes, and you are…? Sorry, I don’t have your number registered.’
‘It’s Aguni. From the… Karaoke bar?’
The frown became a lopsided smile.
‘Ah, yes! Of course, sorry. How have you been?’
Goliath used the fact that they had stopped to go to the bathroom himself. Number two. She raised her eyebrows at him, mouthing ‘Are you serious, right now?’ and cradled the phone between her ear and shoulder, getting a plastic bag out of her jacket and squatting to pick up the surprise.
‘Good, good. I’m calling you so that you also have my number.’
‘Great, thanks!’
Was that it? Really? Andrómeda was holding Goliath’s leash with one hand, a plastic bag full of poop with the other and the phone with her shoulder as well as she could. She had seen jugglers doing less than what she was doing. And all so that she could also get his number?
Her playful smile reappeared. Maybe he just needed a little push and she had never been shy a day in her life.
‘So…’ She started, filling the silence. ‘Would you want to go get dinner? Maybe have a couple of drinks after? Tonight?’
She stood up and moved towards a trash can, dumping her dog’s excrements in there. She went back to holding the phone normally, with her hand, against her ear, stretching her neck first to one side, then to the other, until she heard a cracking sound. Then she kept walking.
‘Yes, I would like that.’
‘Perfect! Do you want me to choose the place? Is there anything in particular you want to eat or…?’
‘I don’t mind. My friend is allergic to tree nuts, though.’
‘Your friend?’ She pressed her lips together, trying hard not to laugh, not knowing if he was serious or not but finding the situation quite funny. She was asking him out on a date about a minute ago and he had already invited his friend.
‘Yes, Takeru. I think maybe you saw him in the karaoke bar.’
‘Ah, yes, I remember now.’ Also a handsome man, but not really her type. ‘Mind if I bring a friend of my own, then?’
But she had already put Aguni on speaker and was going through her contacts, trying to find someone who would agree to this travesty. She found nobody. Maybe someone who owed her a favor, then?
Andrómeda smiled, having thought of somebody already. She scrolled back to her Favorite contacts, clicking on her best friend’s name. She was already writing a text when Aguni replied. ‘Yes, of course.’
‘Hi Airi, do you remember how you owed me a favor because of that thing I did for you? It’s time to pay your debts. Feel like going on a double date with me, the guy I’m interested in and his friend? :D’ The text read.
‘Perfect! It’s a double date then. I’ll text you the details. Byeeeee.’ She made sure to pronounce the words ‘double date’ as clearly as she could and to pause before and after them. She wanted him to have no doubts about this whole thing.
She smiled to herself, slightly confused, but also entertained by this whole situation and kept walking Goliath.
Aguni hung up the phone. It had gone well, in his opinion. He was going to see Andrómeda, now he knew her name, that same evening. So he had secured a date. Way better than Takeru had thought.
He called his friend.
‘Hello, tiger, how did it go with your girl?’
‘Her name’s Andrómeda.’
‘Exotic, interesting. Loving it. Did you ask her out?’
‘Actually, she did. She asked me to go to dinner.’
‘Fierce.’
He heard the sound of a notification - a text message from Andrómeda. There was an address of a restaurant and some text accompanying it. ‘Is 8 pm good for you?’
‘Yeah, we are meeting at 8 pm. Does it work for you?’
‘What do you mean for me?’ Takeru asked, the tone of his voice revealing surprise.
‘I told her I was bringing you.’
His friend burst into laughter.
‘Unbelievable,’ he said, after he calmed down. ‘Why did you do that?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I think she wanted to meet just the two of you, man.’
Aguni hadn’t even considered that possibility, but now… He shrugged. There was nothing to be done about it.
‘Well, she didn’t seem to mind. She said something about a double date.’
‘So I have to go on a date too?’
‘So it seems.’
It was a busy day for Airi, she’d been rushing all morning and had barely had the chance to look at her phone. She had half a dozen texts when she finally took a break. One of them caught her attention. Airi reread it just to make sure she was not misunderstanding.
‘A double date? Oh, Andi.’ Airi sighed but started texting her friend back, she knew she couldn’t refuse her that small favor, Andrómeda had been there for her when she had needed someone and Airi was glad to hear she was interested in a guy, whoever it was. How bad could it be? ‘I’ll be there, text me the details.’
Later that day, Airi was having second thoughts. She was tired after a long day at work and wasn’t feeling particularly social. She thought about backing out of the deal but she felt bad, she had already bailed out on the karaoke bar a few nights ago, she could not possibly cancel again.
‘I just have to do it this one time.’ Airi reasoned with herself as she changed into a dress. She would have worn her usual black but she knew Andrómeda would roll her eyes and say something like ‘too gloomy for a first date’ so she settled for a light pink dress but she added an extra coat of the blackest mascara she owned to her lashes, for balance.
Airi arrived at the restaurant five minutes before the agreed time.
‘Good evening. Do you have a reservation?’ the hostess asked, smiling brightly.
‘Hi, yes. Ah, it should be in Andrómeda García’s name.’
The hostess checked her list and nodded. ‘This way, please.’
As she walked to the table Airi felt something very much like nerves somewhere in the pit of her stomach. She hadn’t been on a date in a few months, much less a blind date. What if the guy was unpleasant? What if he was boring? It’s not your date , she reminded herself. You’re here so your friend can hang out with the guy she likes… who apparently can’t come on a date alone .
Airi greeted her friend with a hug, she was alone at the table, the guys hadn’t arrived yet. Good, she was hoping she’d have some time to talk to Andro about them.
‘So, what’s the deal with this guy you like, what’s his name and why does he need a chaperone?’ Airi asked her friend.
‘Honestly? I don’t know.’ Andrómeda shrugged, lips pursed. ‘His name’s Aguni, he’s part of the military. So you know, exactly what I like - big, rough, strong.’ She lifted both her arms, flexing her biceps to make her point. ‘We met in the karaoke bar, he called me today, and didn’t ask me out, so I did. I was asking him if he had any preferences regarding the restaurant and that’s when he told me his friend is allergic to… seafood? Nuts? Something like that.’ She kept gesturing with her hands as she spoke, a spark of amusement in her eyes as if she found this whole thing funny. ‘To be honest, he was not very forward before either. Maybe he hasn’t dated in a while and needs emotional support, and instead of getting a dog, he gets this Takeru friend of his. But it’s cool! Maybe you could take him to the bar after dinner so that we can be alone for a little bit?’
Their conversation was interrupted when two men approached their table, they stood up to meet them. Going by Andrómeda’s description, Airi recognized the man with the military haircut as Aguni. So the other man, the one with long hair and a carefree attitude must be his friend, Takeru. Airi had to admit he was handsome.
Aguni greeted them politely. He seemed reserved but he looked truly pleased to see Andrómeda. Airi liked that.
‘What’s with the formality?’ Takeru asked. Airi was shocked when Takeru pulled Andrómeda and her into a hug, as if they had known each other for ages.
Here we go, Airi thought as she sat down. It was going to be an interesting night.
Andrómeda had been in the middle of her monologue, trying to summarize to Airi everything that had happened with Aguni in around thirty seconds, like an elevator pitch, when the guys came in.
She stood up, just a tad bit uncomfortable in the skin-tight very-itchy golden dress she was wearing to greet both of them. Especially Aguni, who looked even better than the night they had met.
‘Andrómeda, right? Is that the correct pronunciation?’
She cringed at the mention of her own name. ‘It is, but ditch it. We can go by Andro, Andi, Meda… Whatever you want. It’s a constellation, one of the biggest ones… My parents are hippies.’
‘It’s beautiful. It suits you.’
The evening might not be a total loss. She thought to herself, smiling and biting her lower lip at the same time. Din, din, din, he had just scored so many points. She was about to reply when Takeru pulled her and Airi into a hug, which she awkwardly returned, looking at Aguni with a face that she hoped meant ‘Is he always like this!?’. The military man just nodded almost imperceptibly and chuckled.
Andrómeda looked at her friend, knowing she was more of an introvert. She gave her a quick, apologetic, thankful smile while sitting down next to Aguni. She was now in her debt, forever and always.
‘So, girls.’ Takeru clapped, attracting their attention. He was very… Energetic, to say the least. Andrómeda wished her and Airi would have a telepathic channel just to know what she was thinking at this particular moment. ‘Let’s start off with the easy questions. What do you do?’
Andrómeda leaned forward, placing her elbows on the table and steepling her fingers before her. ‘What do you think I do?’ She gave a playful smile, but went back to her original position within a few seconds. ‘I am a kindergarten teacher.’
She watched Aguni’s reaction from the corner of her eye. He seemed to like that. Seems like she also had scored some points.
Airi was still processing Andi’s casual suggestion to ask Takeru to go get a drink at the bar, feeling like another one of their friends would have been a better fit for the task, maybe Kuina, but even though she felt slightly out of place, some part of her was glad she was the one here. Andrómeda’s voice brought Airi out of her reverie just in time to say what she did. ‘I am a makeup artist.’
‘It shows.’ Takeru winked.
‘Thanks?’ Airi said, unsure if he was serious or not. She looked at Andrómeda for help, luckily she understood the cue and turned towards Aguni.
‘I know you are part of the JSDF.’ She looked Aguni in the eye. Showing him she remembered what he had said in the karaoke bar was also a way to let him know she was very interested, right? ‘So the only unknown is you.’ She pointed towards Takeru, who laughed.
‘I am a hatter.’ That was really not the answer Andrómeda was expecting, and it was reflected on her expression. He laughed again, harder this time. ‘I used to run a club in Tokyo, but when my father passed away, I took care of the family business.’
That did make more sense. It did suit him a lot better.
A waiter came by with a notepad and a pen, to ask if they wanted anything to drink.
Andrómeda opened her mouth, and was about to answer, but then thought better. She moved her body so that it faced Aguni. ‘Hm, it depends. Are you going to take me home tonight?’ She asked straightaway, apparently serious, but anyone who knew her enough could see the way the edges of her lips curved, if only slightly. ‘I don’t mean your house, I mean if you could drop me at mine, of course,’ she added, innocently, fluttering her eyelashes.
Aguni did look taken aback for a second, but had a quick recovery. ‘Of course.’
‘Then a glass of red wine, please,’ She told the server, flashing them a brilliant smile.
‘Bring the bottle,’ Takeru said, and now it was Andrómeda’s time to laugh. A man after my own heart.
She was trying hard to divide her attention between Airi, hoping she would not be too uncomfortable or better yet, that Takeru would not make her too uncomfortable and Aguni, who she was just swooning over, but she wouldn’t admit it. Not just yet.
While they were checking the menu, he asked her more about her life, her work, her hippie parents, Goliath, her home country - which he was surprised to find was basically Japan, because she had lived here since she was three years old - and her tastes in music, movies, food, hobbies and everything in between. She answered all of his questions, but had some of her own. And while the exchange of information was not a hundred percent equal, him being more reserved than her, she didn’t mind. She was not in a rush to discover everything about him and the secrecy, for now, kept her very interested.
The conversation slowed down while they ate. Airi was happy to see Aguni and Andrómeda appeared to be very much into each other already. Good, it meant that they would not need a similar arrangement for their next date.
She was glad about that, right? Takeru was attractive and had a very interesting vibe about him, like one of those people who just get up one day and decide to move to another country, that sort of spontaneity, but would she really like to see him again, to date him? And that’s when Airi realized he was there to support Aguni, just as she was doing for Andi, it didn’t mean he wanted a date. For all she knew Takeru had a girlfriend, a boyfriend, maybe he was married?
‘Penny for your thoughts?’ Takeru asked, refilling Airi’s wine glass. ‘Say when.’
‘When,’ Airi said, taking her glass and thanking him with a nod. ‘I was just thinking—’
‘About me, obviously,’ Takeru interrupted her.
Airi would have laughed it off but the comment caught her by surprise, and since she had actually been thinking about him she couldn’t come up with a witty reply as fast as she would usually have. ‘Don’t flatter yourself, Takeru.’ Airi shook her head. ‘I was just trying to picture both of you at the karaoke. I don’t believe Andi told me how you did?’
‘We were magnificent, of course,’ Takeru replied.
‘Ah, and he’s modest as well, charming,’ Airi ribbed.
‘Modesty is overrated, we were really good. How do you think your pretty friend noticed my unassuming man?’ Everyone laughed.
The waiter came back to ask if anyone wanted dessert. Both men declined but Airi and Andi’s eyes lit up and decided to share a slice of chocolate cake. The guys were talking about their day, finishing the last of the wine. Andrómeda looked at Airi and mouthed the word ‘bar’, pushing the last piece of cake towards her as a peace offering. Airi rolled her eyes but nodded.
Airi turned towards Takeru. ‘Do you want to get another drink, fruity cocktail maybe?’ she asked him, trying to sound as natural as she could, and why was she suddenly nervous?
‘Lead the way.’ Takeru stood up at once, bowing to Aguni and Andrómeda and helping Airi push her chair back.
Andrómeda feigned surprise when Airi asked Takeru to get a drink at the bar and they both stood up from the table. But it seemed Aguni had been paying more attention to her than she had thought, because he could already recognize the mischievous spark suddenly appearing in her dark eyes.
‘Was this your idea?’
‘My idea?’ She shook her hand, as if that thought was smoke lingering in the air and she wanted to dissipate it quickly. ‘Not at all.’
But her grin and the way she looked at him told a different answer.
He simply chuckled, and then turned serious for a moment.
‘Actually, I wanted to apologize. When you asked me to go to dinner I didn’t really think it through. I just assumed you meant with friends, as friends.’
She raised one eyebrow. She wasn’t expecting that.
‘Aguni…’ She was already pronouncing his name as if it was an incantation by a very powerful wizard. Almost with reverence. She liked the guy more than she had thought at the beginning. What was this tingling sensation? Oh, she was about to grab the glass of water and throw it to her own face. They were not teenagers any longer, but she was feeling butterflies. ‘Don’t worry about it, really.’ She patted him on the arm, reassuringly, but let her fingers rest there a few moments longer. She almost forced herself to take them away. ‘Plus, look at it this way. This is something that has never happened to me. It’s new, it keeps me interested.’
His smile left Andrómeda feeling like she needed some extra air. She grabbed her glass of wine and swallowed the remnants. Suddenly her tight dress felt like a boa constricting and suffocating its prey.
She kept talking, only then. ‘But I don’t want to be friends. Unless that is the only thing you want, of course.’
There it was. The cards were now on the table.
And she felt nervous, which was not something she was really used to.
‘No, it’s not the only thing I want.’
Andrómeda had to stop herself from doing a little celebratory dance.
Instead, she opted for smiling, like a normal person.
‘Good.’
Fuck, Airi. She suddenly thought. She, very reluctantly, took her eyes off of Aguni’s and stood up so that she could see the bar area over the heads of the people dining. She thought she saw them talking while having a drink, but couldn’t really be sure. After all, she was not wearing contacts and she was slightly nearsighted. She sat back down.
‘Do you think we need to go save them?’
Aguni lifted his shoulders. ‘I think Takeru likes her.’
He, very casually, moved his hand towards hers, which laid on top of the table, so that they would come in contact.
‘I’m worried about whether she likes him,’ she emphasized.
But their hands felt good together and those two would be okay for five more minutes.
Right?
There were just a few other people at the bar: a man in a business suit, clearly having a drink before going home; and a couple of lovebirds, so into each other they hadn’t even touched their drinks.
‘I’ll have what they’re having,’ Takeru said, louder than Airi would have liked. She felt her cheeks turning red. The fact that Takeru took her hand to help her get onto the barstool did not help with the blushing. He sat next to her, their knees touching.
The bartender approached them. ‘What can I get you?’
‘Vodka ginger ale,’ Airi said, glad that her voice was steadier than she felt.
‘Vodka soda splash,’ Takeru said at the same time. ‘Aha! Vodka! Flawless taste.’
Airi smiled. ‘Likewise.’
‘Yeah, but we already knew that.’ He looked her up and down.
And Airi’s face was burning again. The bartender set two coasters down and placed their drinks in front of them. Airi grabbed her glass, drinking deeper than she intended. Takeru was still looking at her with an amused expression.
‘I think you should pace yourself, unless you’re trying to get me drunk.’ He winked and downed half his glass in one gulp.
‘Shouldn’t you pace yourself?’
‘Nah, Aguni’s the designated driver.’ Takeru shrugged. ‘So. Why did you want to get me alone?’
‘What?’ Airi asked, taken aback.
‘That’s why you suggested coming to the bar, right?’
‘No? Andrómeda wanted to have some time with Aguni, I thought you’d—’
‘Relax, I got it.’ Takeru interrupted her, throwing his head back and laughing. ‘Still, glad you asked. Now, we could sit quietly with our drinks, but since we’re here, we might as well talk.’
Airi dug her nails into her palms to stop herself from grinning like a silly girl. He had a point. Just because this wasn’t a date for the two of them, it didn’t mean she couldn’t ask him about himself, right? What did she want to know? ‘How was it like, running a club?’ Airi asked the first question that popped into her mind.
‘Not as fancy as it’s cracked up to be.’
‘Oh, right.’ Airi snorted. ‘I’m sure you didn’t get to party at all, and I’m also sure you don’t have any fun stories.’
Takeru laughed out loud. ‘There was some of that, sure. But it was also a lot of bookkeeping and boring administrative stuff.’
‘But you still liked it, right? Don’t you miss it?’ Airi propped her elbow on the bar and rested her face on her hand.
‘Sometimes,’ Takeru admitted. ‘I have thought about trying it again. Opening a club, maybe with a beach theme. There would be a dress code, of course, everyone has to wear beach-appropriate clothes.’
‘I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.’ Airi’s shoulders shook with laughter. ‘But you’re funny, I’ll give you that.’
‘Girls love a good sense of humor.’
‘And there’s that modesty again, you’re quite the catch.’ Airi was joking, but she could imagine him to be a bit of a ladies’ man. Or maybe not just a bit?
‘Not that anyone has managed to catch me,’ Takeru said proudly.
And there it was. To Airi that meant he wasn’t interested in dating her. Her phone buzzed giving her an excuse to look away from him. ‘I see. Well, I think it’s time to go.’
‘My little brother’s name is Hércules and my sister’s Cassiopeia.’
‘Your parents were really committed to the names.’
‘Indeed.’ Andrómeda laughed, her fingers now intertwined with Aguni’s.
It had been a long time since she was this comfortable with someone.
She almost didn’t want the date to end, which was surprising. Usually she would pretend to go to the toilet and then run away before even ordering any starters. But with Aguni… Well, it was different. She was not in love, and she was not dumb enough to believe he was either. But he was a safe place. He listened to her. He treated her with respect. And, on top of everything, he was easy on the eyes. It was a nice change.
‘Is there anything else I need to know?’
‘Before our next date that you are going to be the one planning?’ They had come to that agreement a few minutes ago. Andrómeda had no doubt that Takeru would be involved in the organization somehow - maybe even in the date itself, but she didn’t say anything. ‘Hm… I love dancing.’
‘You do?’
‘Yes. Any type of dancing. I went to classes of literally everything when I was a kid: flamenco, ballet, urban, belly dancing… You name it, I have done it.’
‘Do you want to go dancing?’
‘When?’
‘Now?’
His smile was a catalyst for her own. She rubbed her chin, thinking about it. Or pretending to think about it, because she already had the answer.
‘I’d love that.’
Her eyes moved towards the bar, narrowing them until they were nothing but two brown slits so that she was able to see a little bit better. ‘Should we tell…?’
‘I know Takeru will come if we ask him. We can also just dump him home and go just the two of us.’
Andrómeda pondered for a second what the best way to approach this was. She looked for her phone in her bag, hoping Airi wouldn’t have it on mute.
‘One sec,’ she said, letting go of Aguni’s hand reluctantly. But she didn’t want to just show up out of nowhere and tell her friend ‘hey, do you want to go dancing?’ and create an uncomfortable situation. She didn’t know whether she liked Takeru or found him an ass. So she texted her.
‘Airi, dancing now? Yes/no? Takeru in general? Yes/no?’ She wrote as fast as she could, adding a bunch of smiling emojis. Then she looked at Aguni.
‘I’m asking Airi before we actually go and ask them .’
‘You’re a good friend.’
‘Am I, really? Maybe Airi will murder me in my sleep tonight if she doesn’t like Takeru. No offense whatsoever towards him.’
‘None taken.’ She had already explained to him that Airi was more of an introvert, so Takeru and her were polar opposites. And yes, opposites attract, or so the saying went, but… ‘Maybe I’ll have to stay with you tonight to make sure that doesn’t happen.’
Andrómeda could have screamed at that, but she kept her composure. Her heart was hammering.
‘You don’t think my dog, who weighs forty-something kilograms and is considered potentially dangerous could protect me?’ She joked. Her internal monologue went something more like please stay, please stay, please stay, please stay, please stay…
‘Best to make sure.’
She checked her phone, trying to hide her blushing face and her idiot smile behind the device.
‘Let’s go, she already answered.’
Airi reread the text Andi had just sent her. She bit her lip thinking how best to reply. How could she say no to dancing? Andrómeda and her had always loved dancing, that’s how they had met, at a dance class a few years ago, and they had been good friends ever since. Airi looked over at the table, Andi and Aguni were smiling at each other. She knew she could call it a night and ask them to take her home, but if she had to be honest with herself, she wasn’t having a bad time. Sure, it had bummed her out to hear that Takeru might not be interested in going out with her after tonight but hell, they were already here and she had dressed up, it would be a shame to let that go to waste.
‘Dancing, YES! Takeru, complicated???’ Airi texted back. She knew Andi would ask her what all the question marks meant but she couldn’t very well explain that with him sitting inches away from her.
‘It’s rude to text someone else when you’re on a date,’ Takeru teased her.
Airi very much wanted to reply with ‘well it’s rude to tell someone you don’t want to date them when you’re on a date’ but she held her tongue. They were not on a date, she reminded herself, Aguni and Andi were. ‘Come on, let’s go. I think the plans have changed.’
‘There was a plan?’
‘Apparently. But we’re going dancing now.’ Airi jumped down from the barstool and cocked her head. ‘If you’re up for it.’
‘Is that a dare? Well, I’m an amazing dancer, just so you know.’
‘Oh, really?’ Airi looked at him, half amused, half incredulous.
‘I used to run a club, remember? Do you dance?’
‘Sometimes.’ Airi pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh.’It depends.’
‘On what?’
‘On finding the right partner.’ She reached into her purse to get her wallet but Takeru held her hand to stop her.
‘Drinks are on me.’
‘You don’t have to, I—’
‘You,’ he said, staring into her eyes. ‘You can buy me a drink at the dance club.’
Somehow Airi felt that was not what he was going to say but before she could ask he was steering her back towards their table.

Status Quoi?
A trauma dump, but make it entertaining and bearable.
5 months ago, I was in my room, smelling the dinner from downstairs and too shy to come down. It's all because of my puffy eyes, all red from tears I never thought of coming. My Tigger and Blue plushies served as witnesses to this. I closed the windows and locked the door, find music on my phone, listen to it, and cry my eyes out while hugging the pillows. On the other hand, I'm holding the best wasabi pretzels I've ever tasted. My friend is over the phone, spamming me with a speech saying I deserved better and that no one is worthy of my tears. It was an awful movie moment. And I have a video of it.
Ever since that day, things went downhill. However, I am thankful that hurting myself physically didn't become an option. I just lay there, silently, feeling it. And even until recent weeks, it haunts me. I lose my composure over it with the desire to go "Full Blank Space" mode and let the world feel my anger. I was lashing out but it would hurt me more. Since then, I focused on myself. My friends would constantly say in between relapses that I deserve better. Trust me, I don't. I deserve to BE better. Not someone better. And that's what I did.
I concealed myself from the people around me and started with the mindset that privacy is power. I learned to mask the awful parts of myself with poetry and music. And when the relapses start to threaten my peace again, I write something like this. I will kill the thoughts and vibes from the get-go so as to not consume me again. BE better, not someone better.
And it did. I am taking my time with my craft while working with people who exhibit a healthy support system I could never have imagined in a workplace. It's a dreamland. What's best about it is what it can hold for me in the future while staying grounded in my past. My idols who I look up to and have been watching since 2020 are now messaging me for help on their projects, I'm getting the spark back into writing, and I took back myself and created a better version of it - now full of hope and love without having to beg people for it.
I'm writing this after I did one final activity for work, in my room, exactly 5 months since that dreaded day, 3 hours after my work schedule. And everything had a full 180-degree turn. I repainted my room, got new glasses, and am currently excited about having a new hairstyle. And this is all because of that puffy-eyed boy with wasabi pretzels who never gave up in his search for inner peace and self-served closures.
Life is good, my back hurts, and my wallet is currently empty. But it is still good.

hello! i have returned after finally turning in the project that made me so brain-empty to tell you that in the pursuit of making one (1) ai i somehow made two (2) messed up lil dudes. (apologies for incoming vague ramble.)
so there's this ai made for a specific project that gains self-awareness, however the project shuts down and they were gonna be repurposed or scrapped depending on how salvageable their code was for other things. they, of course, weren't vibin with this and in a panic emailed themself out to random people hoping someone would click the attached file that would transfer them to a new setup. (the email was. not well done and looked like spam with malware attached.) someone did! but things went a little funky in the transfer so their code got a little messed up but it's totally fine they're super not a little glitchy and chaos prone it's fine. and the guy who decided "sure i'll download a suspicially malware-esque file from a shady email just to see what happens" is surprised there's a functioning, sentient ai now in his computer but decides to roll with it and after knowing them for like 5 hours decides this ai is now his Best Friend. it's mostly all very silly and their relationship is best summed up by "you know what would be /really/ funny-?" and egging each other on to do stupid stunts
sorry i just like. dumped this whole chunk of words i've just been rotating these two in my head for like an hour and i love them very much
NOOO THIS IS SO CUTE TAT i looooove everything about this!! like emailing itself out makes me think of how so many old school viruses got spread around, and you KNOW i love an ai with mental illness!! like there's something so nice about them having glitches in their programming and a bit of scrambled code...and even better when they're still able to find a human to connect to that loves them as the mess they are ;o; good for them fucking around!! i hope they get into all sorts of weird situations and if you do any more developing on them, please come and tell me about it!! i want to listen to all their stories!!!

okay so i just turned seventeen, but last year in may i was sixteen and back then i logged into this spam account i used to have that i abandoned, and i had a bunch of old msg's from my friends but i only answered one, it was from my old male best friend who i used to sorta date but the point is he asked me how i was doing, if i moved bc i hadnt been active on anything or answering anyones messages for over a year, i just said 'good' and kept my answers brief but then he said 'is there anything new with you?' and this is the part where i messed up bad, i couldnt take the pain anymore and i asked him to keep this between us, he said yes, and i told him 1. i got raped 2. there was a vid sent to me 3. i am 2m pregnant because i felt sick about telling my family, he was the first person i told just to try to make myself feel better and he said "Thank you for telling me" and left it at that
this is seriously fucking haunting me, sorry if im dramatic but looking back i think he definitely told his friends, he was uncomfortable, or didnt care and whenever i sleep at night i get reminded of it and i just feel so awful inside, i dont know how to make myself feel better and i couldnt take the embarrassment of messaging him on that exact account so i used another one of my spams and told him happy birthday a few months ago, he said thank you hes thinking of me blahblah but (not that its a big deal) he didnt even tell me happy birthday and i feel like he doesnt care about me or the times we had, i thought maybe he didnt know what to say (bc wtf is thank you for telling me???? or let know know if that was a normal reply and these paragraphs are not a big deal) but then i had to remind myself that okay, he's twenty and he was probably uncomfortable especially because we hadnt talked in 1year+. of course i apologized bc it was kinda trauma dumping on him but im so embarrassed how do i overcome it, should i delete the messages??? i think that could help but im also too embarassed to reread them i feel like i should kms the humiliation is unreal
i thought time would fix it but its been 9 months. time did not help me. if you dont have a solution ty anyways and im probably going to delete the msgs once i can bring myself to log in
first of all, i'm so sorry that that happened to you, that's awful.
i think you really need therapy, you've gone through a terrible thing, and you feel extremely alone and terrified of being judged. he responded the only way he could to hearing something like that, i think 'thank you for telling me' means 'thank you for trusting me enough to tell me this' as it can be so hard to tell that to someone. a lot of people also don't like saying 'sorry' because it comes off as disingenuous, so i think 'thank you for telling me' is the best response he could have given in that situation, especially as an older male talking to you (16 vs 20).
i think that, though it'll be hard, you need to stop thinking about it. you confided in someone you had trust with, he responded in a supportive way, and you haven't brought it up afterwards, meaning there's very little chance that he felt 'trauma dumped' on or extremely uncomfortable (of course, it'd be uncomfortable to hear that, but that's a natural reaction out of empathy). you told him, that's it, it's best to move on. it's so hard to with anxiety, where you overthink everything that you do and say, and others' reactions, but i found that the best thing to do is just take things like this at face value. he provided the appropriate support an acquaintance would, you got it off your chest to someone, and you both proceed with the best path forward; he continues chatting with you casually when it comes up, given you're living different and physically separated lives, and you continue the process of healing from your trauma.
tldr: you did nothing wrong, you were vulnerable and needed someone to talk to. he responded a bit awkwardly, but in good faith, and is continuing to talk to you in the appropriate amount for a somewhat out of contact old friend. nothing to regret, it's just a matter of finding a proper outlet for you via therapy and support from people who are physically present and closer (personally) to you in order to healthily cope with your trauma.
i hope any of this helps.

cw: sh mention
regarding archivedblog12 / angrykittenisupposes / neva. edited this for clarification and to correct myself on the later things i said
Tumblr media
something being for coping reasons doesn't mean it won't hurt or upset other people. there ARE harmful coping mechanisms and making a mourning altar for someone is upsetting for anyone, especially someone who has you blocked and has told you to leave him alone
from what i'm aware of, you said something that actually alluded that you wanted someone (or your hubert from your canon) to take your bad actions / abuse. i am not going through all the literal hundreds of messages you've sent us to find that, so take it with a grain of salt
maybe that isn't what you want, i am not in your head. if i somehow implied that you wanted someone to abuse because of your PD, then i'm sorry for that. i think you as a person cannot see outside of yourself and are - even unintentionally - guilting people into taking your negative behaviours and the words you use make them feel like they deserve what they get from you. i think that you would prefer if people could suck it up while you insult them and degrade them because it would give you the chance to recover. i don't think it has to do with your PD, because there are many people who struggle with BPD and do not go to the lengths you do to avoid respecting people's boundaries and avoid respecting them as a person
respect includes not spamming people when they're asleep or when they're not messaging you. even if you didn't realize he was asleep (somehow), that doesn't give you the excuse to act the way you did. if someone doesn't have the energy or does not want to respond to you for a few hours - or godforbid a full day - then that is within their right, especially when you had hardly known him for three days at that point. considering there are PDs and other mental/physical illnesses that make responding to people hard (if not impossible), i would think you'd also find your behaviour ableist, especially when you treated his PD as an inconvenience to you
i stand by my mention of you being selfish because i've repeatedly seen you talk about how all of this affects you while dismissing or ignoring how any of your actions here would make him feel. it's not ableism to point out your hypocrisy and self-centeredness. i have been the person too stuck in my own head to see how my actions have hurt other people. it was not ableist of the people calling me out to call me out on that. it's made me a better and more mindful person to think about how my words may affect other people. this is something you need to work on. you need to give yourself time to think about the things you say. no every stream of consciousness are things you need to tell other people, especially when they are things you assumedly don't mean. and if you do decide to tell them, then you can't be upset with them that they are upset or do not want to be near you
standing up for yourself is not what you're doing. you're harassing someone you hurt and stalking him and his friends. what are you standing up to? your own behaviour? because we are upset and hurt with you because of the things *you* said. we have said things in frustration because you still haven't left us alone in 8 months and likely won't for years because you've done this same thing before
i don't think you set out to abuse people. i do think you genuinely wanted to be hubert's friend but couldn't control yourself or respect him enough to not to dump it to him on essentially day 2 of your acquaintanceship. you made the active decisions to continually message him instead of venting in a private space, or playing a game to distract yourself, or turning off your phone, or going to sleep. you made the decisions to send hurtful and stressful things to someone who was only ever patient with you and who did not deserve your cruelty
you were not mean to him after he was mean to you. you were mean to him to begin with
you threatened to have a panic attack if he spoke to anyone else about your behaviour towards him (first image is unedited, second is for readability. it's the same message). maybe you meant this, somehow, as just "being the truth" but this is still something that would scare someone into not speaking up about your behaviour
Tumblr media Tumblr media
calling him stiff and cautious and guilting him over being more comfortable talking in a server than talking one on one with you, a literal stranger who he hasn't had a conversation with outside of her struggling with her mental health (unedited / edited)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
calling him a nightmare for joking around with me, his best friend. this resulted in his first ever time blocking you, so no you were cruel first (you also, again, called him a "little cruel" for not responding to you while he was asleep even before this)
Tumblr media
implying he traumatized you for blocking you when you triggered him. you knew each other for less than a week. also this was sent to the most popular kin blog and a vent about ren the person and not your hubert from your past life
Tumblr media
your response to him joking with an edelgard double in a kin server unrelated to you in every way. said joke being him reacting to a message with an emoji and sending another emoji in response to the edelgard double's response
Tumblr media
all the above was sent WAY before he was ever "mean" to you
what conclusions about you are you talking about? what things did he do that scared you? you repeatedly said the time he took to word his responses to you was something that made you feel better. what're you talking about
what in the world are you talking about regarding commodifying relationships? are you saying you did something kind for hubert? or are you saying hubert thought of your initial acquaintanceship as something he commodified? where does abuse come into this? what're you talking about? can you explain that in different words? i can't understand it
the issue with this is that this is something you've done to other people that had lasted 3 years. i'm not saying you do this to everyone you meet. but i am saying this is repeated behaviour. like three years for them and then 8 months for us is not whatever it is you think this is. it's not coping. it's not standing up for yourself. it's repeated harassment and stalking to the people you've deeply hurt and betrayed
i'm calling you a leech because you negatively affect and drain the happiness from the people you spam and stalk. you have stalked hubert, his boyfriend, his best friend (myself), his other friend, and who knows who else from our circle. i'm not delving into the things you did to the people before us and it's not really something i want to talk about in depth. i'm saying this to point out to you that you are repeating the toxic and abusive behaviou that you've done for years. the issue is that you haven't changed in what is now 4 years. the issue is that you do horrible things and blame it off on your emotions when this has been happening for at least eight months with JUST us. there is a limit to how far you can blame it on impulse and emotions. this is an active decision by you
if you understand how upsetting boundaries being crossed are and having your discomforts disrespected, then you surely understand how this eight months of harassment might be affecting us. right? surely? or maybe at least how your racism and transphobia might affect people?
correcting myself in this bit, he wasn't trying to calm and placate yourself. he was trying to be nice to you because he is a nice and kind person. i feel like you'll take me saying "calm and placating you" as something negative to do to someone who is having a breakdown
he was trying to be mindful of his wording because he understands that emotions are all-consuming for those with BPD and that they can be almost impossible to deal with and control. he was trying to be patient and considerate toward you while you were clearly in distress. you told him and admitted to him that it helped and that you enjoyed that he was careful with his words so that he wasn't hurting you
when he finally set permanent and unshakeable boundaries by telling you he wasn't in a place that he could help and be patient with you when you were insulting him and disrespecting both him and his struggles with his PD, you brokedown and essentially started begging him in our server to come back. you brought this all the way to that kin blog and started to say he traumatized you. you triggered him constantly and held not a shred of care for how your words affected him
and i do not believe you are stupid enough to think he would not be following what has been the most popular kin blog for years now, or that the plethora of people in server would not be. you are NOT subtle, i don't doubt that someone noticed what you said and brought it up to him
and at the VERY LEAST, you should not have been saying he traumatized you for setting his boundaries and you should not have been using that blog to vent (again) about someone who is alive right now at this second
