#if she hasn't met this person

[mixelation]

itachi and deidara convincing minato to use his hokage powers to try and stalk tori's civilian friend (who they are convinced doesn't exist) but the things they DO know about this person are so generic that, even with full access to every single record konoha has, there's no way to identify her

I think they're really cute as a platonic possibly even found family pairing, but. A Reminder

real-life adulting, man. i'm still my ex's emergency contact 6.5 years after we broke up and he just gave me his new girlfriend's phone number so that i can contact her if something happens to him. this is in lieu of making her his emergency contact, which may seem like it would make more sense, except that he hasn't told his parents about her. so i get to be the emergency contact who then would contact both the girlfriend and the parents. this all makes total sense to me despite the fact that i don't even live in his city. it's whatever! we've known each other a long time!!

for that one oc ask - GHOST and DESIRE for uhhhhhhh Melliwyk! I know very little about your OCs yet so i'm tempted to just keep throwing asks at you but I don't wanna overwhelm lol

hi hello first of all please do feel free to send more... if the spirit moves you...... 👀

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

When asked about the scars up her arm, Melliwyk usually explains it very briefly as the result of a lab accident when she was still a student, laughing off almost dying and how the discharge launched her across the room, but it also launched her academic and research career. What she does not generally explain is that the other thing that happened was her then-roommate happened to walk back in unexpectedly at the exact wrong moment, got caught in the face with magically charged electrified shrapnel, and was permanently blinded... the incident may have accelerated Mel's arcane studies, but it ended Amberly's.

It set the tone for the rest of her career. Even having exploded, her experiment was highly impressive and promising, especially from someone so young and still early in her arcane studies, so it opened up a lot of opportunities for her-- and on the other hand she got a reputation for keeping an eye on the bigger picture and not letting personal risk or others' feelings get in the way of meaningful progress, a reputation she leaned into an benefited heavily from despite the fact that Amberly getting caught in the accident in their dorm wasn't even really her fault. There were lots of other times in the years following where she was more than a little flippant with risk management or others' wellbeing in the pursuit of her work. It got her a lot of professional respect, and mostly her reputation ensured others kept themselves out of risk around her; she got really used to not thinking about anybody else whenever she did anything, for better and for worse.

This was decades ago, now; for most of that time, she's consciously thought about it very little-- and definitely less and less over the years (although it subconsciously has affected her decisions sometimes, like moving out into the middle of nowhere alone to get into weirder and possibly more volatile experimentation). She's been thinking about it a lot lately, though. Adventuring is the first time in a long time she's had to live and collaborate with others, and relies on mutual trust for her own survival. Doing Hero Shit in the real world, with real people enduring real suffering, has also put her back in touch with her humanity after spending so much time in magical academia and then total isolation. She's had to think, a lot, about how many people have been hurt or killed by things like not barring the door while working on something dangerous, or thoughtlessly drawing aggro to an already injured NPC, or failing to safeguard her loved ones after knowing that her becoming an enemy of the state would put a target on their backs as well. She liked Amberly. She hadn't meant to hurt her, and hadn't even meant to be careless about her safety; it worries her how hard it seems to be for her to protect others from her own actions, even when she wants to-- how dangerous she is to the people she cares about. She's not entirely sure what she can do about it other than isolate herself again, and that isn't really an option anymore.

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Oh man this is a really interesting question for her right now! For her entire adult life, her greatest desire was to either reinvent or rediscover artificing, which was a millennia-lost art in her world; she kind of figured, you know, either she'd do that under less fraught circumstances, or it would be a lifelong pursuit that she could work to further but would never personally live to see the end of, so, honestly she's feeling more than a little unmoored right now in terms of, you know... personal goals..... entire life's purpose...... that kind of thing. Fortunately she's still got the broader overarching desire for discovery in general to keep her going, and slightly-more-dubiously-fortunately the Ongoing Adventure demands all of her attention right now (more, I would almost argue, than she has to give...), but Being An Artificer when that was a theoretical/ experimental field has been so central to her identity for so long that I think if you asked her right now what she desires most she'd get really stressed and existential about it, lmao. She hasn't had a chance to figure it out yet! I mean, of course, there's always going to be an answer, and right now it's probably 'to destroy the sorcerer king [our bbeg]' for various plot and personal reasons-- but even that, you know, I think she'd be uncomfortable and dissatisfied with the thing she wants the most being 'to beat the bad guy' instead of something more personal and/or interesting.

ask about my OCs!!

What do you think about Batman?

Oh hell, she was afraid of getting a question like this. Khare glanced away, her gaze equal parts shifty and apprehensive as she fought to find her tongue. "Batman? Well... I'm still not entirely convinced he exists, you know? Sure he's in the papers and the news, but it's hard to believe one man can tackle half the crime in the city." Not just half, but take on some of the most hardened criminals she'd ever heard about. She was glad she hadn't crossed paths with any of those just yet. "I know, I know it's dumb to think that. Just... it sounds like the kind of thing you have to see to believe. The GCPD come in every morning with stories about what they've just dealt with, how this bat guy swoops in and handles situations that would take a trained squad to deal with. Cindy herself got saved by Batman one time, when this... Mad Hatter? Thought she was his Alice. Apparently he's got a thing about blonde hair, see..." Khare's voice lowered, her hand pulling away from gesturing at her hair before returning to making coffee. If she had her way, she'd be happy not meeting him or any of the people who got on the wrong side of the law on a nightly basis.

I love how from the get-go Soma said "don't bother" to Seiroku's attempt at implying he knows what it's like to be in their position bc neither of them are buying That one, yet he didn't have a single issue with Seiroku pouring him sake. He even raised his cup to make it easier for Seiroku to fill it

It’s the penultimate week of my art course - next week we exhibit 5 or 6 of our best pieces. So today we chose our best works & mounted them onto sugar paper frames. All in all a chill session.

There is a very loud woman who also attends the art class. She is the kind of loud person who is not only loud volume-wise when speaking, but the kind of loud where she gets into everyone’s business and makes it into her business. She would also loudly express with her loud voice her shitty opinions (e.g. the Queen did a lot for this country/England was safer when we were kids, now it’s so dangerous/people on strike need to get over it). Not my kind of person really, so we never talked much.

Anyway today she showed an interest in me &  my policy is if you can’t be friends, at least be friendly. So I told her I was a teacher and a bit about my background, knowing she is also a teacher from... how loudly she talks.

When I hesitated when she asked if I’d change anything about my job, she asked me directly, “Name one thing you disliked about being a school teacher.”

My knee-jerk reaction was SLT.

Her face dropped.

“I’m an Assistant Head.”

Looking back on this faux pas, I feel like she wanted me to retract my statement.

I did not retract my statement. Or amend it. I stand by it.

hey, thank you cards aren’t a big deal, right? like the important thing is just to send them, and no one is gonna hyperanalyze what they say (other than the sender), right?

[dinodogs]

I'm so sick of people around me just assuming I'm straight, that I'm having kids.

I was talking to my dad abt work and how some kids were kinda annoying and he goes "wait till you have kids!" and I corrected him and went "Well, I'm not having kids, so I'll be waiting for a while I guess" and he goes "oh well you might find a nice young man"

I DON'T LIKE MEN AND I HATE KIDS. I'M NOT HAVING KIDS. I'M QUITE LITERALLY DATING A WOMAN.
