#i'm just not a super materialistic person.

[captainfightingflower]

GOD do i want to LARP as a marketing executive for the things i like....

I want to design and prototype fake merch and draw fake promotional illustrations and make elaborate cosplays so i can run around and larp as a mascot with printed out business cards for the company and do little (and legal) promotional stunts in them and animate fake commercials for them too. I wanna figure out how to buy their uniform and when i move out: i want to paint the walls of a dedicated room just for that with the same colors as their studios so i can store everything they’ve ever made, both official, recreational and custom, in that room and try to create the largest collection ever all for the personal fun of it!

People say that a person with a hyperfix can market a product 1000X more efficiently than 100 people getting payed to do the same thing. But i actively WANT to market for the things i enjoy, completely out of my pocket. I want it to get to the point where the company has to make an official statement to clarify that i am not affiliated with them and they do not know why i’m doing this. That’s my dream!

While i’m not the biggest fan of capitalism as a concept: MAN does being an unofficial marketing cog sound so appealing to me. I don’t think i could ever be one for real, but playing pretend? Absolutely!

!!!!! hi !!! :) can u maybe write rise leo & donnie hcs (separate pls) with a reader who's super affectionate and just loves tf out of them.!!! like!!! reader is head over heels!!!

also i hate that u were self conscious while writing totally platonic ;( it was so great, i rly like the way u wrote it!!!🥹 made me feel all warm n' fuzzy n' shit

Touchy-Feely

꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ (seperate) don + leo hcs w a supez affectionate reader!!! (physical touch, gift-giving, words of affirmation)

req ;; yes/no

g/n reader!! they/them prns

warnings ;; swearing, kinda ooc??

leo ;;

- so leo is naturally ALL over people he loves (think climbing all over raph, draping himself over mikey + donnie, etc)

- it'd be really accurate to say he's the same way with you!

- whenever you're in the lair, or just around the turtles/leo, you are going to be snatched up and there is nothing you can do about it!

- standing up? okay, leo's just gonna wrap his arms round your waist and lean his head on your shoulder.

- sitting down? either you're sitting in his lap or he's sitting in yours— or, he sits on the floor beside you so that he can lean his head on your thighs (i love doing that)

- laying in bed? CUDDLE TIME!

- that's all just to say that leo himself is very physically affectionate ;; if he got the chance he'd hold onto you and never let go

- with leo's self-esteem problems, i think it really helps to have a partner who's super affectionate!

- leo's the kinda guy to have doubts/ be like 'why are you even with me? i'm so lame and my brothers/literally anyone is so much better than me'

- so to have someone who time and time again shows how much they love him and proves that they only have eyes for him?

- it actually really helps! of course, those thoughts do come back sometimes, but it's nothing that a few kisses and a cuddle session can't fix!

- not to mention how you're always, always willing to tell him own much you love him!! because you do, you love him very much and will do anything to get those bad thoughts out of his head

- if he ever feels bad about himself or something he did, he always comes to you to get some comfort bc you comfort him in the best way

- like i wrote in Totally Platonic, leo's prone to subconsciously wagging his tail, making chittering/churring sounds at you, even fluttering his fingers around your cheeks bc red-eared slider DNA go brrr

- something that i think leo would be self-conscious of is money and ish, bc its not like he can really get much?? with the whole turtle situation

- but you, of course, being the angel you are, constantly reassures him that you don't need materialistic things for him to prove his love! you just want him, not anything else

- he sobs on the spot

- leo's the type of guy to fall HARD, so to know you're the same way? to know that you're as crazy about him as he is about you?

- he swoons, and wonders what he might've done to deserve such a wonderful partner.

- (literally save the world twice but who's counting?)

donnie ;;

- everybody, EVERYBODY KNOWS that donnie ain't a very touch-oriented guy, so at the start of the relationship, he'd deffo be overwhelmed by all the love and might ask you to tone it down (not in a mean way)

- once he gets comfortable tho he's all up for affection and cuddles :))

- you do ruin his bad-boy image tho. how is this man supposed to be dark and mysterious when your sweet self is out here making him absolutely melt???

- donnie typically shows his love through gifts and words!!!

- alike leo, he could spend HOURS singing your praise and just saying everything he loves about you (he's actually made a list organized by his most favourite qualities alphabetically.)

- i personally think that for donnie, being a middle child, he didn't get too much attention and we know for a FACT that he yearns for praise and love

- so you KNOW he's going feral if you so much as say 'wow, that's cool!' to one of his inventions

- donnie, while a little overwhelmed by all the love you show him, is really happy to have it

- don can get really stressed when doing his experiments/making his inventions, so it helps to have you around!!

- comes to you for cuddles and to rant when stuff doesn't go his way or an experiment fails

- DEFFO appreciates how affectionate and lovey-dovey you are.

- (also like leo) he can get down in the dumps and insecure bc he believes that his tech is the only 'useful' thing about himself

- so to hear you constantly being like "ahhh my bf!!! my wonderful talented smart funny bf!!!! my love my light of my life!!! i love you i love you i love you :DD" to him really brought up his spirits

- how could they not?? you're just too cute and so sweet!!

- it also helps if he feels kinda insecure in public!! people trying to flirt w you? you don't even notice because you're too busy looking at donnie.

- donnie totes makes you gifts and stuff (little robot to help you out w chores, maybe one to remind you every day how much he loves you :])

- unlike leonardo however, don prefers to keep pda to a minimum;; he likes having certain things to himself and in private

- that doesn't mean that he don't love it tho!!! he just prefers that some stuff stays behind walls

A/N ;; SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!! but thank you so much for the request :DD im so eepy jssbbfjs,,,, anyway MEOWSSSS can't wait to work on more fics :]] they might come (even) slower tho bc im starting classes again (AGHHHHHHH)

[panlight]

not sure if you’ve touched on this before hint i’ve been curious lately: does edward actually like alice and bella or does he just appreciate their gifts? i’m not quite sure how to explain it but the more i think about it, the less alice seems like the kind of person edward would like. she seems to be more self-interested and cunning than the saint-like characters edward typically reveres. i’ve been wondering if their bond is less about a genuine like for each other and more about an understanding of each other's gifts.

i know edward's attraction to bella as a person vs her silent mind has been discussed before. do you think edward would've fallen for bella if she were more like characters like rosalie and jessica? for instance, assuming her mind were still closed off to him, would edward still have found bella fascinating if he perceived her to be vain and materialistic?

This is part of why I'm less interested in the gifts stuff that a lot of other people. I think it does muddy the waters with things like this. Like, are Edward and Alice actually compatible as siblings/friends or is it just like "you're the only one who understands because our author gave us these specific gifts?" And at the end of the day maybe it doesn't super matter; they DO have those gifts and it DOES help them understand one another so what it would be like without them only really matters if you're writing some All Human AU that removes the supernatural. In their world, compatibility with gifts is a thing, and probably just as valid as other kinds of compatibility and sympathy.

It is interesting that Edward thinks Rose is selfish and vain but loves Alice, when you know if it were Rosalie spending all this money on clothes they only wear once and throwing parties he would see it as another sign of her poor moral character. But part of it may be that Alice and Edward are different enough that they don't annoy each other in the same way Rose and Edward do. Both of them are more melancholy, more negative, more judgmental. Alice is more fun and happy and extroverted so Edward probably doesn't see his own flaws in her the same way he does in Rose (although they can be similar, too, in their sort of manipulative "I know best" dealings).

With Bella I think the gifts thing is even more of a factor. I mean if he could hear Bella's thoughts he'd be getting a lot of "Edward is SO hot" because that's what her narration is in the book, and I don't know that he's find that any different than how Jessica or whoever thinks about him. But because he can't read her mind, he's able to project on her, and also interpret her choices and actions in flattering ways rather than negative ways as he does with most people. And like I get it. I certainly think things I wouldn't say or do. I'm very patient and helpful at my job at the library, for example, but in my head when I see certain people coming and asking for help I'm like "ugggggh not THIS person" and "why can't you do this yourself?!?!" so if Edward were reading my mind he might be like "oh she's not as nice as she seems, she's two-faced, what a scoundrel!" when it's really just . . . being human?

If Bella's behavior was more like Rose and Jessica but Edward couldn't read her mind, that would be interesting. I guess if she also still smelled delicious he might fall for her, and then make up flattering explanations or excuses for the behaviors he doesn't like in others. "She just moved here/she's lonely/she misses her mother/she will grow out of it/whatever" when he's not willing/able to extend that same grace to Jessica because he can read her mind and judges her on her thoughts.

And this isn't me badmouthing Edward; I'm sure it WOULD be genuinely hard NOT to judge people when you're hearing what they are thinking all the time. That's going to flavor your perceptions of people in a major way. But I do think it's not really a fair or accurate view of a person, because what we DO and SAY matters more than what we think. We can have bad thoughts and re-direct them. We can think something mean and choose not to say it. We can internally grumble but do the Right Thing anyway.

I also think having the first two people he spent any time with being the uncommonly "good" Carlisle (super compassion!) and Esme (unconditional love) probably didn't help Edward get a realistic picture of what most people's thoughts are like. Judging a teenager's developing brain against a centuries-old compassion-motivated vampire doctor isn't gonna be a fair comparison. "Carlisle would never think like that" sure but he's also been actively choosing to fight baser instincts for hundreds of years, and Jessica's a 17-year-old navigating social cliques and history exams. They are not the same.

Content: Fluff, established relationship, reader just spoiling everyone, sfw

Reader is asked to be male, but pronouns aren't mentioned in this!

((Not fully proofread))

-----♡

》Gepard Landau

Gepard was impressed by your status and was quite proud to have an s/o like you. He also made sure to give your sister a good impression of himself, as he didn't want to embarrass or disappoint you in any way. Even with you reassuring him that there is no need for it, he'll still do his best for you.

With that said, he gets very flustered, whenever you spoil him half to death with anything he as much as glances at. You never expect anything in return and usually tell him that there is no need for him to give you anything, but he'll still try to return the favour by spoiling you back in his own ways. Whether it be through materialistic things or giving you endless affection.

He loves seeing you fight alongside him, especially when he can observe your Geo vision in action. That usually leads to him to also inspect your catalyst in interest, as he mentally goes through it's usefulness in battle. He's just impressed with everything about you.

-----♡

》Welt Yang

Welt treats you like he treats everyone else, as he doesn't want you to feel out of place with him. You appreciate it, considering how demanding your job and life in general can be. Welt gives you a sense of normalcy that you really crave and need. Especially as your sister also approves of him for his calm and collected demeanor around you.

And for that, you usually spoil him with everything he wants and needs as a thank you. Or at least you attempt to, since he usually tries telling you that he has no need for all of these things, when all he really needs is you. He always has a way of flustering you so easily with minimal effort, that just makes you want to spoil him even more.

He enjoys seeing you use your abilities, mainly as he wants to know everything about them. Your Geo vision especially interests him. So that usually ends up with him asking you to tell him all about your powers, as he listens to you intently and writes down every little detail.

-----♡

》Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan never makes a big deal out of your rank, as you never make one out of his. To him, you are simply his dear lover, who just happens to be super rich and powerful. He treats your sister with the same respect, which earns him her approval rather quickly with ease. His charms are just too hard to resist, after all.

And you seem to know that quite well, as you spoil him at any chance you get. He does the same with you, so it's only fair. He doesn't mind your attention and love at all and even embraces it willingly with open arms. He keeps anything and everything you give him too.

He's proud of how powerful and strong you are in battle and often asks you to train with him. He's fascinated by your abilities and likes to listen to you talk about them. He'll definitely keep every detail in mind for future reference.

-----♡

》Blade

Blade doesn't care for your status or your money, as he fell in love with you and only you. Everything else doesn't matter to him. He has a hard time getting along with your sister, due to his disinterest in upkeeping anyone's reputation, but he'll try to at least be somewhat civil with her on your request. He can't really say no to you after all, as you are his only weakness, which is something he'd never admit.

He doesn't want you spoiling him, or at least, that's what he claims. You don't miss the small spark in his eyes, whenever you give him something you know he'll like. He'll be stubborn and act indifferent, whilst still accepting your gifts nearly eagerly. You find it quite amusing and adorable, to say the least.

He is most interested in your capabilities on the battlefield and is secretly impressed by your strength. He absolutely loves fighting alongside you, as it makes him feel even more powerfully. He never directly compliments you for it, but you still know how much he appreciates you.

A/N: I hope this was okay! Thank you again for the request and sorry, that I had to limit it!<33

[el-moscorrofio-y-el-mercachifle]

I don't see many people talking about Patricia's character anywhere, so I'll talk a little (give my opinion) here.

I personally feel VERY sorry for her. Okay, many of Patricia's attitudes and actions are not justifiable, but you can't help but feel empathy for her at least at some point throughout the story. She was never a saint because several times she was not strange when it came to manipulating/seducing to get something, she never thought before humiliating people among other things that make her a bad person.

But despite all this, you can see that several times she showed herself to be a naive person, she filled herself with expectations, deluded herself and lied to herself, (like for example the whole story with Mário, which she faithfully believed he was would marry her and keep her), and as you said, she always thought she was in control of everything and all the relationships she was involved in, but she never was.

She tried to use everyone and always ended up being used, she tried to manipulate everyone and they easily manipulated her, situations that show that she was really a vulnerable and naive person. I believe that her being so materialistic and wanting to find a rich husband is not only to solve her economic problems, but also to fill a void, because what she really is, is a very lonely person. She's so empty that she'd rather go to the gym than buy food, she'd rather not give up things she doesn't need than live poorly. These things only show that she is a person who lives by appearances, who tries so hard to be someone she is not, rather than showing the reality: that she is alone and does not have someone who loves her to the point of caring about her.

She was so at the bottom mentally (stopping eating to try to look like a life she can't keep it’s not normal, also other things she did) and economically that she had to humble herself to people, like when she went to Daniel because he had become president (that's all he wanted, and we know that sooner or later he would tell her the worst possible way how shameful this situation was and how much she fell to get to that point), or when she tried to seduce Mario to get a ride home.

Anyway, Patricia could be selfish, materialistic and a lot of other things, but that just reminds us that she is a REAL person like so many others out there.

I know many will definitely disagree with me, but as I already said, I know that she is no saint throughout the entire novel, but she suffered as much as those who were called and considered the “good guys” in the story.

Hiiii! Loved that you shared some of your thoughts! Here are some of mine too🥰

Patricia's character was definitely... a topic. It's no secret that to me she became a wasted potential and I dislike the decision to make her purely comedic relief when at first she was honestly pretty much in the same camp as characters like Armando and Marcela: very entitled and blinded by their own gigantic ego, to the point of hurting others for their own benefit even though they didn't realize it. I'm not saying she should have gotten a redemption or anything of the sorts. Characters like Mario never got them but they were still super well worked with. Patricia just became a joke.

I've also mentioned before that I too feel pity for her, or at least, I feel for first-half-of-the-novela Patricia. She was never kind, polite, humble or endearing, sure, but she seemed much more human. She was truly excited to think Mario fell for her, and seemed truly disturbed by that firdt encounter with Daniel. I feel for that Patricia because up until that point, her story felt real. I wouldn't say she was naive, but rather, too egocentric to realize there are bigger fish on the sea. She thought she could do anything to anyone and she'd always triumph. Uo until there, you feel she is a real person clinging to appearences because her life is so empty she literally has nothing else. Eventually it just became comedy and exagerated whining that made you forget that she's actually a person with real suffering, even if she's causing it herself (most of the characters cause their own suffering, too).

I couldn't pinpoint exactly when she became a parody of herself. At some point her role was just to throw venom, be comedic, and complain. That's it. She didn't even cause much trouble like at the beginning, and her extreme poverty was merely the butt of the joke. This last part particularly is where I feel the potential was the most wasted. I would have loved to see more of Patty's real struggles, and, if we had had a but more time with the novela, perhaps we could have even seen this for character development (or character regression, whichever you choose!): for example, how poverty is keeping her from eating, which is leading to headaches and dizziness and lack of energy. How poverty is landing her homeless. How she's forced to rely on, for example, Nicolás. I could totally see their love story having formed from this, like her falling so badly that she has no choice but to rely more on Nicolas now not only for frivolous things like the car and the cellphone, I mean real things like food and shelter and seen in a more real light.

Anyways, Ik why they couldn't develop more their "love story" (I think they probably were meant to be together, as in Gaitan probably had that goal, but we all know all the problems that theproduction went through), so it's just an idea.

I do think Patricia was probably mentally ill, tho. Her obsession with appearences is so bad, like you said, that she's willingly STARVING herself. She's starving and yet she doesn't miss a single day at the gym. She's willing to risk going homeless but doesn't stop buying new clothes or hair dye. She's willing to shower with cold water and go back to a pitch dark apartment where there's no food or entertainment as long as she can still look and act like a rich person in front of everyone. I think we often forget how insane Patty's situation was because we remember more her funny/malicious sides, but honestly, her whole world view was crazy.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sorry this took so long!😂❤️

Halloween Edition

Who should you be aware of?

☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•

☆

Pile 1

Who is this person you should be aware of?

Cards pulled out: Strength, temperance, page of wands reversed

☆This is someone who you've had to have a lot of inner strength to hold up with them and needed to be brave. This is someone who you've been patient with before and tried to keep yourself balanced with, but they're too... ugh. A super loud mouth spoiled brat who thinks he can get away with anything. A close-minded person. Super super close-minded, has their options on thing, a very hasty person too and pessimistic. A baby in a man's body basically.

What is the relationship between you and this person?

Cards pulled out: eight of swords reversed, four of swords

I feel like this is someone you've escaped from, someone who probably has abused you or used you, just someone who took advantage of you and kept you tied up in their hands while they scratch their belly hair and drink(just smt I saw) someone who's caused you anxiety and made you feel overwhelmed around them or even without them. Just caused you some trauma and made you need to rest but you couldn't even rest.

Why should you be aware of them?

Cards pulled out: Knight of cups, six of cups reversed, death reversed, two of cups reversed.

Two scenarios again:

♡One is that I see this person wants to come back in, act all gentleman like and sweep you off your feet, but I feel like you're warned to focus on your future and not let the past come back in again and take you back into the cycle of draining and abuse. They see you're afraid to move forward, but why? Don't resists change. You might be scared to start this new beginning because this might mean you have to loose something, but losing an asshole is good so idk what you're thinking. Anyways because if you continue this cycle you'll be in an endless incompatible, abusive relationship with this person.

♤Scenario 2: I'm getting that someone new wants to come in and sweep you off you're feet and be a gentleman and you're encouraged to move forward with your life and let go of the past, but for some odd reason, maybe you're scared bc of what happened on the past with baby man and it will lead you to resist change and new beginning and fall back into bad relationships with people or him again or because you're scared to have a new relationship because of this whoha man.

Advice card:The hierophant

What im getting is that you should seek more of traditional things, like traditional relationships might work out better for you and cause less fear and help you recover.

Okay byeee

Pile 2

Who should you be aware of?

Cards: seven of wands, the sun reversed, eight of cups, the wheel of fortune

°So this person could be someone you were fighting against, like standing up for yourself and your beliefs and they weren't hearing it and they always made you or kept you unhappy, took away your freedom and kept you down. I'm getting that this person abandoned you for a new changed or a "Goodluck thing" that they saw or vise versa could have been you abandoning them.

What is the relationship between you and this person?

Cards: Seven of cups, the world reversed

○So you mightve been one of their many options when they're not having the success they wanted or feeling stagnant and disappointed. They'd come to you for support or to take it out on you,bc they can. I do feel that this is someone from your job with higher authority or just someone with higher authority than you.

Why should you be aware of them?

Cards: The hanged man, ace of pentacles, page of pentacles reversed, nine of swords

♧I'm getting that when they're feeling trapped or not having direction, they'd come to you with a offer eith money or materialistic things or financial new goals or business things to then just become a lazy, unreliable, procrastinator. Who's disloyal to you and lives a unhealthy life style who probably pretend and lied to you about everything financially long term you could be getting. This could leave you with lots of stress and sleepless nights.

Advice card:The High priestess

If there are ither options with you feel are unattainable but want to explore and know more about. Then explore it. It's probably a beer option than with this person.

Who you should be aware of?

Cards pulled out: Ace of cups, the hierophant, the empress, the star

I feel that this person who might be a new love interest who comes in. Might be more on the traditional side or that's how you met this person, through religion or education areas or that's how this person is, a very traditional person. Might seem attracted to you by your nurturing and feminine thing you got around ja and how they might see you in their dreams or like how sometimes you can get insecure( this weirdo) or vise versa that's how they could be.

What's the relationship between you guys?

Cards: Six of swords reversed and hermit reversed

This is someone you've probably had a very rocky relationship and left you feel like you have nowhere to run, right now you could have isolated yourself completely from them.

Why you should be aware of them?

They might come back in, hot tempered as always and be the dare devil they are and backstabbing you again, betray you by doing something, might even do it in your face because they're pissedm idk break something or leak something is what I saw and completely destroy you. Theyre saying you need to escape from this hoe and you need to stand up against his bullshit and take control so you can finally break free and heal properly.

Advice:The lovers reversed

I'd there's always conflict and disharmony and trust issues and lack of accountabilities what's the pint in even trying in that stuff anymore?

Pile 4

Who do you need to be aware of?

So this person may have noticed you have inheriting something in the family, probably either some money or materialistic things which caused some upsetting things to happen in your or their family. Just they mightve seen it as untraditional and something about divorces too, they mightve been excessively spending their money, making poor financial decisions and avoiding yk disasters and stuff like that just to be petty and be like "Well she inherited some money without needing it, what about me, I'm struggling rn" like the bitch actually needs it.

What's the relationship between you guy

Ace of cups and six of pentacles

Someone you mightve had a love offer from but ja and just someone who gives gifts but has strings attached like "remember the time I bought you this gift, welll I kinda need some money to....."

Why you should be aware of them

I'm seeing that they could be taking away from your potential happiness and fulfillment and prosperity by being a sneaky bitch and they're saying you need to stand up for yourself and stand up against bitchiness and pettiness and come to an end with this relationship with this person, because with one ending can bring many new beginnings

Advice card:Two of cups

I feel you should start better and many ither meaningful connections with other people where there's good communication and harmony

[xeriprincess]

Ateez as love languages (receiving)

I kind of went off on some of them, deepest apologies in advance

Hongjoong

Acts of service

As the leader, Joong takes care of his members on both a professional and personal level. He loves taking matters into his own hands and knowing they rely on him, and he's damn good at it. When the others are going through hard times, he'll emotionally support them as best he can.

However, he also loves to sit back and be pampered for a change. Despite loving his role as leader, there's no denying how much mental energy it requires of him.

So when you clean up his work desk, bring him a coffee to work, or take off his makeup after a long day, he WILL melt in your hands.

Not needing to worry about practical things, knowing there's someone looking out for him, is what makes him feel loved.

Seonghwa

Quality time

Hwa puts tremendous effort into keeping up his appearance- both physically and emotionally. Making sure he's putting his best foot forward is extremely important to him, but is obviously not an easy task.

For Hwa, some quality down-time with you is invaluable.

Late night walks, movie nights and roadtrips.

Being in an environment where he doesn't need to watch his words, worry about how he looks, or worry about your perception of him is his personal utopia.

Yunho

Words of affirmation

Yunho is a moodmaker through and through- he has a bright personality, great sense of humor, and good people skills. Brightening the mood and making any given situation more fun is something he does both consciously and unconsciously.

He takes great pride in bringing joy to others, so when his efforts are acknowledged by you, Yunho really feels complete.

Affirming his positive qualities is the best thing you could do for Yunho- he wants to know you see him as good.

Yeosang

Physical touch

Sang is a very nonverbal guy when it comes to his emotions, love included.

I'm inclined to give him the most silent love language, which allows him to receive affection without leaving his comfort zone.

Shoulders touching sitting side by side, light kisses, fingers grazing each other under the table.

He'd look at you with sparkles dancing in his eyes, conveying more than a thousand words ever could.

San

Physical touch

On the other end of the spectrum we have San.

If Yeosang is light touches and eye contact, Sannie is tight embraces and desperate kisses.

He has no problem expressing himself with words, but feels the most secure in your embrace. No amount of PDA would scare him away, as that's when he feels your love the most.

When he's stressed, he needs that grounding touch to come back to earth.

Mingi

Receiving gifts

Don't get me wrong, Mingi isn't by any means a materialistic guy. He just loves to be pampered :)

The idea that he always has a piece of you with him, in the form of one of your gifts, would make him giggle.

He'd love any kind of gift, no matter how small- a pretty rock you found, a flower you picked on your way home, or a stickynote with a cute message left on his belongings.

Be it accessories, clothing or jewelry, he'll wear it on his person at all times. It'd be his way of silently showing you off.

Wooyoung

Acts of service

A bit controversial i know, but i have a lot to say here

Woo is a super bright guy who has no problem expressing his affection for others through words and physical touch.

Which leads to me to believe that these love languages wouldn't be AS special to him on the receiving end, because they come so naturally to him.

Hence, I believe acts of service would be the way to make him feel the most loved.

He would love to know you're thinking about him even when he's not there. To him, that's the ultimate show of affection- receiving your attention without even being there to command it.

As someone who tries his best to understand anyone he meets, you doing your best to understand him makes him feel special.

Jongho

Words of affirmation

Being quite reserved, Jongho doesn't come off as someone who needs a lot of praise, which is why he's kind of starved for it.

Except his vocals, which are rightfully praised left and right, the other parts of him are not complimented as much by those around him.

Which is why he'll melt if you tell him how handsome he looks, how much you love his smile, how he takes such good care of you.

He loves receiving praise, even if he doesn't always know how to respond.

[kfanopinions]

Jaehyun as a Boyfriend (Astrology Based)

i will be looking into jaehyun’s moon, venus, and mars placements. there will be a below the cut section so if you are not over 18 do not interact

taurus moon || aquarius venus || libra mars

responsible

patient

routine-based lifestyle would even want his future household to run on routine.

again all i see is the dad from the sound of music with that damn whistle to call the kids rofl

financial security is important to him

materialistic

financial security + materialistic tendencies = his happiness okay, so if anyone thought jaehyun looks/reeks expense it's probably because he does. the more lavish things he has the more secure he feels which means the happier he'll be. this also includes vintage things as well ^^ (thought i'd throw that in for fun)

eloquent and smart

social

"i did it my way!" so, he has a tendency to be "my way or the high way" type

"i want you to want me. i need you to need me" wants to be adored/admired CONSTANTLY

chef jaehyun! no joke has a placement that can signify he'd be a decent cook lol

romantic gestures emphasis on gestures

wants to be in a relationship but doesn't want to be tied down. really likes his freedom. he also has with his 12th house a "loner" type of personality

gift giving could be part of his love language and a means of showing his affection

"she wants me to spoil her with loyalty" AIN'T THAT THE FLIPPIN TRUTH! so, devotion and loyalty are super important to a taurus moon. now i want to say that jaehyun isn't the type to cheat. there are other placements (12th house) that say "once i'm in love I'M IN LOVE" but the thing is...he has to be 100% irrevocably in love.

so he wants to be in a relationship, he wants loyalty and devotion, but it's only going to happen with "the one"

also, if he was brought up in a traditional household he is less likely to cheat

flowers, gifts, kisses...oh my... too much romance is a struggle for him. he's not really the mushy gushy type despite popular belief

on the contrary, i do want to say this. if his partner is detached, he will do ANYTHING to get their attention and that can include being loving/affectionate/romantic. but when that partner stops acting detached this personality will disappear as quick as it appeared

detached in love

intuition, feelings...empathy...what are those? take this with a grain of salt. i'm not saying jaehyun doesn't understand people's feelings, but empathy can be a struggle for him, as well as intuitive clues.

an example: jaehyun's partner: "i just feel so sad today..." jaehyun: "oh, okay."

instead of asking his partner, what is making them sad or why they are said, he may take it as 'oh they're sad.' and that's it. this can also add to the "detached" in love style. to this, his partner should just say point blank why they are sad/hurt/happy or whatever other emotion. cuz if not, he's not going to inquire anything

read between the lines he can have a hard time expressing what he wants in love/relationships

secrets may keep hobbies/interests a secret. he may also be into weird hobbies/have weird interests lol

argumentative this is his libra mars and 7th house placement coming in strong. literally, he may fight a lot with his partner (sometimes cuz he just wanted to start a fight) o.O

below the cut

do not interact if you are not over 18

sexual and energetic

balance in the bedroom

keep it interesting multiple positions/locations perhaps

role-playing can be a turn-on

"i didn't start this! you did!" okay with his mars in the 7th house, he could actually want to argue with his partner a lot, or there will be plenty of fights. now for some (not all so take this with a grain of salt) the sex after an intense argument can be AMAZING sooooo this could be something to keep in mind

atmosphere and mood are essential

charmer in bed

maybe interested in phone sex/cyber sex

maybe interested in affairs okay, this one take with a grain of salt. so jaehyun has this part even within he 12th house, that has a vibe of "love has to come at a price" or "you can't be happy unless there is sacrifice." so he could be interested in someone who is already taken and doesn't care and will pursue that person because in his mind he could see things as "love hurts"

detachment this can be a turn-on for him. the more detached his partner is the more he'll want to chase after them and be that charmer. the moment things are too easy he may lose interest

imagination not saying he's probably thinking about sex a lot, but he could actually think about sex with his partner or in general more so than actually doing the deed lol

kinky but not to the extreme

"i can't get no...satisfaction" he may become cold/distant/mean if he is sexually frustrated

juicy tidbits soooo there could be a slightly higher chance he is a teensy bit above average but that's all i'm gonna say *wink wink*

[psychotrenny]

Hello, please forgive me if this ask is uncalled for, I just figured you would be a good person to ask. What exactly in theory do people in communist circles here mean when they besmirch 'idealists'? I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with most theroy I've read and generally align with most leftist beliefs. But I would still consider myself an idealist because at my core I believe everything I do because I believe in working towards an ideal world. It makes me a bit sad to see the term used so harshly. I do believe that material conditions matter more than ideals , but I still think my beliefs are based on ideals at their core, am I misattributing the label? Misunderstanding something? Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did, I don't want to use you as my personal tutor or anything, I just want to understand something and wasn't sure who to turn to. Have a nice day.

I'm going to share an extended excerpt from Philosophy and Class Struggle by an anonymous South African theoretician who went by the pen name "Dialego". The whole thing is a very good read and not super long, and while naturally it focuses most on the South African liberation struggle of the 1970s it communicates a lot of guidelines and principles that are useful for any modern revolutionary movement. In any case the below excerpt is taken from the second chapter What Is Dialectical Materialism? and I think it answers your question most thoroughly:

It is sometimes thought that a “materialist” is a person who simply looks after his own selfish interests whereas an “idealist” is one who is prepared to sacrifice for a worthwhile cause. Yet, if this were so, it would be the conservatives of this world who are the “materialists” and the revolutionaries who are moved by “idealism"! In fact, of course, “materialism” and “idealism” do not refer to vague moral attitudes of this kind. They are terms used in philosophy to describe the only two basic interpretations of the world which can be consistently held. Everyone who studies the world around him has to find the origin of things. What causes things to move, or to act or to behave in the way they do? Are the forces spiritual in origin or are they produced by the material world? Some years ago a Calvinist minister ascribed earth tremors in the western Cape to the growing disquiet of the Almighty towards modern forms of music and dress! Whereas a materialist seeks to explain the world of society and nature according to the material conditions and processes at work, the idealist believes that events take place because of the existence of spiritual forces or “ideas”. An idealist might argue that apartheid in South Africa has been brought about by the “ill-will” or “evil intentions” of white people who don’t wish to face up to reality. For a materialist, on the other hand, this “ill-will” or “evil intention” still needs to be explained, and the real reason for apartheid is not to be found in people’s heads but in their pockets, in that material system of capitalist exploitation which makes apartheid highly profitable for financial investors, factory owners and the giant farms. It is here that the roots of the system lie. We often talk about the way in which for example “anti-communist ideas” weaken our movement by creating divisions in its ranks and this of course is true. But we must never forget that these anti-communist “ideas” don’t simply fall from the skies: they reflect and arise out of the material interests of monopoly capitalism and unless they are firmly rebuffed, they are likely to make an impact on those whose stake in society, however small, makes them vulnerable to anti-communist scare-mongering Thus we can say that whereas idealism looks for an explanation of the world in terms of the “ideas”, “intentions” or “will” of people, materialism considers that the source of all events and actions is to be found in material causes or, as they are sometimes called, “the laws of nature.” It is true that cruder forms of idealism ascribe things in the world to the “will of God” whereas more subtle forms of idealism put the cause down to the ideas which exist in the heads of individuals on earth, but in neither case do idealists seek an explanation in material reality. Whereas idealism believes that the ideas in people’s heads exist outside of and independently of the world of matter, materialism contends that people’s ideas, like all other aspects of their behaviour, are the product of material causes and can only be properly understood when these causes are discovered. Materialists in fact argue that man was neither created by God nor is his origin a sheer mystery. He developed out of the world of nature through a long process of evolution and his ideas are the product of the mental activity of his brain, itself a highly developed and complex form of matter. This does not mean that materialists are not concerned about people’s ideas. On the contrary, materialists are the only people in the world who are able to explain them properly. What materialism rejects are not ideas, or their immense importance in influencing the course of events. Rather it is the idealist theory of ideas which materialists challenge, because this treats ideas as mystical forces that somehow exist independently of material reality.

Happy March of the OCs Part 2!

okay, so I don't really write with OCs very often, but I do like thinking about side characters and giving them random backstories and families and things :) So here's some more sims posting, this time with all the characters I've pulled out to pad up the world!

Sara Cavanaugh

Sara is Kat Cavanaugh's sister, and they love each other a lot but cannot stand to be together for longer than approximately four hours. Kat thinks Sara is materialistic and vain, Sara thinks Kat is pig-headed and selfish. They're both right and they're both wrong, as often is the case when it comes to people. Sara does appreciate material things and takes pride in her appearance, and she can be quick to judge based on appearances, but she also works hard for very little thanks and cares very deeply about her community.

Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor is about eight years old, and she's Captain Wayne Rigby's daughter. I picture him as a single dad, and someone he worries about a lot and that a lot of his grouch with Kayo was misdirected anxiety about having to constantly leave Eleanor behind while he was working overtime. Eleanor's super resilient though, and mostly saw bouncing around her friends' homes as a bit of an adventure. She love love loves the outdoors and is a huge 'Into the Unknown' fan. Her biggest dream at the moment is to become a vet at a zoo.

The list continues under the cut ><

Aidan Hawkins and Theo Hawkins-McCready

I imagine by the time Virgil meets Cass, she's a single mum with two very rambunctious sons, but for my sims save, I'm playing a little further back in the story haha, so meet her fiance, Aidan, and eldest son, Theo. Aidan is a very romantic and outgoing person but it's paired with intense insecurities and poor communication that creates a very tumultuous relationship for Cass. They both love each other, and Cass gets swept up in his grand gestures, but they struggle a lot with co-dependency and trust issues. Cass sacrifices a lot for Aidan at the expense of her career and eventually they split. Theo right now is just super cute lol <3 He's about three or four when Cass meets Virgil, and his younger brother Jordan (not pictured) is two.

Lesley Hoffman, Franklin Hoffman-Casey and Dante Hoffman-Casey

This is Colonel Casey's family :D Lesley is her wife and they have two children, Franklin and Dante. They're good friends with the Tracys through Val of course, and although they grew apart a bit after Jeff disappeared, they're still considered family friends. Lesley and Val met through a mutual friend and connected over their shared love of music and breakfast foods. Franklin is about Kayo's age, just a little younger than John, and Dante is between Alan and Gordon. Lesley "and the kids" get a brief mention in this story here :)

The Patterson Family (aka Space Controller Conrad's Family)

Conrad's family are ultra high-achievers and high-expectations and they expect big things from Conrad - he's the youngest and as he says in the episode Long Haul, his siblings are heroes in his eyes (a fire-fighter, a police officer, and a paramedic) and he feels the pressure. I kinda roll with the idea that he's several years younger than his siblings, similar to Alan being several years younger than his brothers, and so here they are. Anyway, this is them in the sims world! From top left to bottom right: Daphne and Ed, then Lawrence, the fire-fighter, Raelynn, the police officer, and Quentin, the paramedic. I have more thoughts, but they're mostly about Conrad so I'll move on for now ;D

Joanne and Walter Hackett

Joanne and Walter are Madeline Lemaire's parents :) I put the Lemaire's in a big giant house, and then made myself sad by headcanoning that they wanted kids and couldn't have them, and so I moved in her parents to make things seem a little less lonely. They're much more sensible than their son-in-law, but mostly see him as harmlessly eccentric. Walter is really into fishing and constantly taking Lemaire out on the boat for a boys day (which he hates lol), and Joanne is very into throwing dinner parties and trying out new cocktail recipes for her guests.

David Reeves

David is Tycho's twin brother purely because I think I'm funny xD He's a bit geeky and works as a primary school teacher, coaching a kids' football team and things. Because Tycho's busy jetting off around the world, David keeps a guest room for him and takes in his mail and things (I know paper mail probs won't exist but SHH). Their parents died when David and Tycho were in their twenties still, so they make sure they do Christmas and birthdays and things together and catch up as often as possible.

Gregory Moffat

This is Gregory, who is Moffie's teenage son (and also my son) and I am extremely fond of him <33 He's pretty quiet really, and plays bass guitar in a band with his friends. Moffie was a little exasperated, because he learnt the cello first and she had visions of seeing him play in an orchestra and things, but he got into an argument at the first practice and ultimately ditched it. He also like art and architecture and is very loyal to his friends.

The Taylor Family

I love the headcanon that Lucille and Lee are siblings, and I also love that she came from a large family as well (it makes sense in my head) and also I stole @avengedbiologist's idea that all the siblings have L names because I love it. I aged up the family to show you what they look like, but I haven't fixed them up fully so it's just a general idea :D Anyway, here we have Connor and Payton Taylor, and then Leonard, Laura and Lily. Leonard is the oldest, then Laura, then it's Lucille and Lee (twins for maximum ow), then Lily is the baby of the family.

I have actually written them into a story (veeeeeery loosely) here :)

What would be the middle ground between nerd and himbo or bro? Like the confidence, looks and slutty attitude + brains?

I enjoy questions like these because there is always a range of answers. The archetype system is super versatile and it opens itself up to a range of possibilities. Its almost sociological in that way. So many theories you could take. So i'll give you a frame work of 3 potential options. And since you wanna be a nerd so bad, i'll use big smarty words here and there to keep you interested.

1) Idealist

I think Himbo works best with a nerdy/intellectual dimension. It takes on an almost manipulative character when a Himbo slut has the cunning to really make use of their body and sexuality. It becomes an active application of the right thing at the right time, using the social clout you have be being perceived as a Hot dumb hole to get ahead. Every area of life is benefitted by being sexy as fuck, you could coast by just on that, but it really makes the difference when out of nowhere you can jump and surprise someone with your competence. Slutting it up while knowing your shit. Being the best of both worlds and using each to enhance the other. Never sacrificing one or the other. As an addendum Nerd "culture" is already pretty steeped with Himbos. Many of the role models and inspirations for what a Himbo should be and look like come from games and media properties. And a Himbo loves playing dress up and fun lil video games with his cheeks out and a cock in his mouth.

Bro is harder to mesh with such desires because with the bro mindset there needs to be an active refusal for intellectual pursuit and the mental stress of thinking too much about shit brah. So for bros i think it'd be more like a light switch. You turn on the nerd when you need it, and then when you're done you shove that loser back in a locker and go about your day.

2) Materialist

These Archetypes are Ideal forms, almost Platonic, existing in a higher realm of ideas. But in the material world I never expect anyone to try and adhere to them perfectly 100%. These are meant to be Aspirational, not Hegemonic. They have a form and structure, but there is always room for your unique performance and identification. To bring a part of you in Heteroglossic dialogue with these concepts and Ideas. In a way these archetypes are rather Bahktinian because I have always developed them in conversation with others or with wider social constructs in mind. They grow and shift and change. They are not absolutist conceptions of the world. So for any further questions about whether one thing or another can co-exist with some aspect of an archetype; I might have my own ideas on it (and my ideas are usually pretty damn good), but the answer can usually be yes if you twist and turn it enough times. That said, ya know, i'm still gonna make my archetypes and ideas how i want to. If you want to call yourself a Himbo or a bull without any of the characteristics or aims of being one, that's up to you, but uhhh me and my colleagues in the abyss will laugh at you.

3) Critical Theoretical perspectives on "nerd"

Why are some of the most common questions i get about the maintenance of intellect? Is it really so great? You already admit that you hate the body being a "nerd" gave you enough that you want to change it. You hate the social situation enough and the kind of person it made you. Why are you so hyper attached to concepts of intellect? I think there is a kind of false consciousness to the allure of being smart. It gives you a sense of superiority, when in reality, its just a tool of your own oppression. What does being smart really do for you? Make you more exploitable to the system. Make you more passive and docile because you understand the way the system works. Make you miserable because you perceive everything through the same Iron cage of rationality(that's Weber for you sociologists out there) that industrial capitalism enforces upon the world. I think its a good thing that nerd is becoming an insult again I think the rise in Himbo worship and a return to muscle and shallow aesthetics is a clear response to whole generations of little kids who were encouraged to be smart nerds because nerds would rule the world one day. Those same kids put everything into being smart, their whole meaning and purpose only to realise that it didn't mean shit. And rather than ruling the world, the nerds only ruined it.

As you can tell, I am procrastinating from school assignments to answer this question. If you wanna support me being able to drop out of university to become a bodybuilder feel free to subscribe to my Patreon or to just come and ask to give me money.

Chapter 230 analysis.

Okay so this chapter fucking such, it's clear that rs is trying to remove any nuance from her story and just wants to push hades and persephone together. The next chapters are going to get worse and worse with rs just throwing away any important plot or persephone clearly stated comfort about how she wants her relationship to go. It's deeply uncomfortable to watch and it gets worse, Rs could have wrote a interesting and complicated view of motherhood in the face of immortality and in a world that abuses women. Instead rs just wants a creepy romance with nothing else to it.

Even with the amount of effort rs is putting into reckoning Demeter to be fully evil... she's still right. Plus rs just keeps drawing panels.. that are both creepy and that I can't help but see symbolize in ways that I'm positive she isn't intending the meaning. Like this panel, hades is covering her eyes to the truth of the situation and his arms are their threatening behind her a dark remember that he always has a hold on her.

Now lets start with just an extremely dumb reckon by rs with the whole dress thing. Now there are two big problems with it, the first being that in this chapter is clearly being written to be another way demeter controls her which is a connection that has never been made before. We've really never seen demeter mention the colour of her clothes.. we've seen a few mentions of persephone not wearing more provocative clothes around her mother.. which is just a completely normal thing to do.

Now the next big thing is that demeter is talking about the colour of the dress, and not like.. anything else. This completely falls flat because rs herself said that she dresses persephone in white to compliment hades black suits ie a bride and groom. We see persephone repeatedly choose to wear white in situation that demeter has no control over her... persephone almost always wears white.

Now again rs is making small things that make no sense if you think about it for like more then a few second. Before it was made very clear that demeter spring was super organized and planned, it was never described as having alot of pageantry nor as costly. The cost of spring was something never mention and it was all just magic.. their is no cost in that. Also if anything given how persephone idea of spring is explained, if anything she's the one with more pageantry.

Now again Demeter made a point that is right, Persephone has become incredibly materialistic. We repeatedly see her spending money on this unneeded and any anti-capitalism sentiments that she holds are all but disappeared. She's supposed to be this stronger willed and more self assured person but she still buckles and fails to even decided on her own coronation.

It's clear that hades is having a huge negative effect on her in that regard, he's a literal slave owner. he hasn't made any changes to how he rules or even acts as a boss. He's still a shitty and cruel person.. and persephone is following suit, she becoming a shitty and cruel person.

Now again rs keeps reckoning even simple thing that we've seen only a few chapters before. Like we saw just a few chapters ago we see demeter praise persephone but rs decided it wasn't enough so decided to change that... but even then the things that demeter brought up where like.. yeah persephone isn't fit to be queen.

At best we've seen her in charge of the mortal realm for ten years, and at least from what demeter has said she didn't really do the best. More importantly it's important to take into account that like.. yeah.. persephone isn't fit to fun the underworld. We haven't even seen her do anything in regards to that. We've mainly seen her treat the citizens of the underworld like shit, either threatening them or just scaring them.

We are supposed to take this as demeter being horrible and cruel.. but again she is telling the truth Persephone isn't ready to take control of a kingdom. She is responsible for the lives of others, we've already seen her use her status to threaten those beneath her. How is she going to deal with being a queen and the fact that people will not always like her because of that. We barely see her leadership skills, and the ones we are shown are on such a smaller scale then what she needs.

Again rs is desperate to make demeter such a huge villain but it falls flat because rs refuses to even like consider the flaws of the main characters and instead just pushes the romance of hades and persephone together.

Rs refuses to say admit how much of a huge asshole hades is! Hades is someone who has repeatedly fucked over demeter, going as far as basically verbally abusing her when she tries to become queen. We've seen him rush relationship and put his partners in uncomfortable situations they aren't comfortable in. Most importantly we haven't seen him apologize or even work towards fixing those mistakes he's made. Of course Demeter would be unhappy with her daughter dating him, especially when you take into account that she is absolutely terrified that her daughter is going to abused because she's a fertility goddess... powers that hades already has taken advantage of.

Last time demeter saw both of them they refused to properly communicate with her, and treated the mere mention of her bringing persephone home the same you would a death threat. I will admit that rs is great at writing.. of horribly one sided relationships and black and white mortality.

Again she had the opportunity to make a extremely heartfelt mother and daughter moment where she lets persephone and demeter talk about their struggles. We could let hades and persephone faults actually be questioned and have them grow into better people but nope! rs wanted a dumb plot line that *spoilers* ends up with hades having to "save" Persephone with a proposal! Cause you know just fuck persephone admitting she wanted there relationship to go slow!

Anyway my dream ending for this comic is minthe and demeter teaming up to beat the shit out of persephone and hades.

Also last note, rs please just give hestia a constant double chin. Stop being a fucking coward and half assing basically the only plus-sized rep you have in this comic.

Historia

Relationship, vibe & various

😇

👹

💕

🐁

🌞

🥇

🎽

🧸

Historia can sometimes be a pretty complex person - she's trying to figure herself out and find who she really is. So patience is a must if you want to be close with this angel.

Adores and has shelves full of exotic bubble baths, lotions, moisturisers, bath bombs, face masks etc.

She's pretty organised and tidy her house is always super clean and has the modern furniture and latest trending modern wall art.

She takes care of herself well, so her skin is always satin soft, hair smells gorgeous and her nails and smaller features are always tidy.

Ideal Dates

Historia is royalty. So she doesn't expect anything less than the best things. She's not spoiled or materialistic though; from her background and how she was raised she is very humble. She won't turn her nose up at a gift but see the beauty of the meaning and be super happy. But - she personally likes the finer things.

So although she would be happy with just a homecooked meal in the garden, that's only after you've already won her heart. To impress her at first, you're going to have to pull out all the stops.

If you can't afford the best, she'll still adore it if you improvise. Flower petals all over the floor, light some candles, run her a bath... its the quality of the idea over the price-tag.

Pick her up some flowers before you see her and she'll melt like butter.

Once you earn her trust, then her heart she'll always shower you with small tokens of affection. Small gifts (big ones on special occasions) little love notes, words of affirmation and so on.

Modern AU

Prom queen / head cheerleader vibe. That stereotype. Everyone wants her, no one can have her. You have to be really special for her to want you. And by special I mean kind-hearted and strong.

Remember those bubble baths I mentioned? She has a walk in closet that's full of perfumes, fancy soaps, hats and shoes. Always organised and some are even labelled.

I can't really see her being career orientated. She's naturally well off from her family. She'll still do part-time shifts at a café or something though, to kill time.

Volunteers litter-picking and environment control.

If she does decide to start a career, she'd be a Kindergarten teacher.

NSFW

Okay so there's two extreme sides to Historia. One is this gorgeous, innocent girl who is so small, you can see the indentation of your cock on her lower stomach when you're really pounding her. She's tiny down there and super tight.

Then there's... her dom side. Where she will literally make you her bitch.

Again, she's just figuring herself out. But just... prepare yourself.

When she's being dom she's second only to Yelena. I'm talking whips, paddles, toys, chains... if that's not your thing then cool, but she sometimes would really like to sit on your face until you tap out.

The more submissive side to her, she blushes heavily (She'll 100% be submissive until she's totally comfortable with you) squeaks, she gets embarrassed and squirms by how good you make her feel.

"N- no - I can't it's too good, I can't take it..."

"You're so strong..."

"You're too big! It's too good!"

You can skull fuck Historia, she'll just take it.

Kinks

Mommy kink. When she's dominating she'll be the mommy. "That's it baby... drink deep from mommy..."

Pillow Princess. She uses this when she's submissive and Dominating. Will order you to pleasure her and make her feel good.

Size Kink. With her being so small she gets a kick out of how far your dick or strap can stretch her - the bigger the better. But she's so tight down there, even a smaller one would be more than enough for her.

Stuffing. Enjoys feeling filled up to the point she could just burst. Fingers, toys, dicks, strap on... you name it she wants it all in her at once. She'll act all shy about it but she'll orgasm over and over again as you absolutely ruin her.

Aftercare

This poor lass will need to be looked after if she's feeling more submissive. You'll actually leave her unable to walk for at least thirty minutes.

She bruises easily so tight grips on her leave small marks. Kiss them better, please.

If she's destroyed you then after she'll order you in some food, stroke your hair / tickle your back until you fall asleep.

°afab her/she

°Bi

°One piece or Overwatch

°Don't really wanna be paired with Sanji lol also not any one piece girls that I'm into except maybe Madam Shyarly and also not into Tracer or Mei

°I'm really freaking shy. I'm usually calm but sometimes depends on the mood so I can be easily annoyed, patient but not that patient. I'm ngl I'm lazy haha, I'm usually pretty stubborn and take some explaining for me to change my mind about something, reserved, very quiet in the beginning but when I get to know someone I'll slowly open up and can be quite talkative if I'm in the mood for it. I like to tickle people (that I'm close enough with) that are ticklish,

°Out of a relationship I want a life partner but def no kids (and leaning no towards marriage), a person I can always go to for whatever it is, no polyamory tbh,

°I love stargazing, playing video games, meditating, listening to music, working out is nice, cooking, hikes (but not like the super crazy ones where you need some equipment) shwimming, worldbuilding, drawing like architecture type stuff, tryna get into caring for plants and things I'm interested in are the ocean - I just love everything about it (the animals, the way it looks both under it and above such as the waves/shore and coral reefs), space (I find it fascinating, like whats out there y'know? And not to mention how beautiful it looks), I love philosophy (can have a bunch of interesting debates y'know?) Also thinking of learning to play guitar later on

°My wardrobe mostly consists of black clothes, band shirts (rock genre), skinny jeans - mainly also black but some have like red patterns and some have like pockets and zippers; think hot topic for an idea, I do have a few things that aren't like that like sweat pants, hoodies, some shorts I'd pair with tights. I paint my nails (mostly black) and I wanna have tattoos one day not sure which kind yet tho - leaning towards oceany beachy vibes or cyberpunk vibes, maybe a few space ones here and there.

°My type of guy is assertive, calm, quiet, - although I don't mind a more different kinda guy like more rowdy and whatnot. I like guys that are kinda blunt (if they know how to be blunt without being rude although I may sometimes overlook the rudeness depending) attractive, don't care for height although most people are taller than me, loyalty. As for girls same could be said for girls. Lookswise I like both of them to be more on the masculine side. Also if you wanna choose a non-human character for me I'd more than welcome it haha be it an omnic or fishman although no minks.. Not really into them tbh

°My music taste is mainly rock (a lot of rock subgenres I like but some I really love are here) and especially metal but I do love a few other genres that I'll listen to every once in a while such as r&b, electronic, pop, and some reggae but reggae is kinda rare for me mainly reggae that's got like a beach vibe going.. unless that's what the reggae seen is? Idk if there's reggae songs that don't have beach vibes but anyways! Also rock reggae is cool and so is ska punk or skate punk; that skateboarder (I think it could be known as that? Maybe im wrong idk lol I blame my crappy memory) music also gives me the beach vibes and there's been quite a few songs and couple o bands I enjoyed in that genre.

°My love language is quality time together and gifts, I can be pretty materialistic (not that much tho) as I just love shopping.

°Idk if mbti types could help but Im an Intp and I know zodiacs are just for fun but my zodiac is actually a lot like me which is Aries~ I also tend to have a preference more towards men than women; tend to like guys more often. I like my space so I can be alone from time to time - It's pretty nice and relaxing

-Thanks for letting me add stuff I forgot btw!!

notes - Hey anon! Your patience means the world to me and I really hope that you enjoy this! My apologies for the hiatus, but hey, I'm not getting paid to do this anyway lol. I really hope you have a super day and enjoy the matchup :)
