the path is one i know
not from experience but rather memory
her memory
she follows me now, hand clasped in mine
feet dragging along as i lead her
down the well-trodden path
i can’t help but look around
at the ones that came before us
time has not been kind to them
most have crumbled apart
those that still stand have been weathered
words smoothed over with tears
until all that remains is a blank slate
few carry anything of note, untouched
we keep walking
me in front, her silently behind
it gets better as we go
the path is newer, paved by each set of steps
the ones here are clearer, sharper
giving way to a glimpse of what once was
but they start to blend together
a mass of indistinguishable differences
overlapping, multiplying
we near the end of the path and she stops
finally lifts her head to look at the most recent one
“i held her hand just like you did”
“i know”, i smile softly
“do we really have to?”
“yes. you know how this goes” i offer, but we both know there is no consolation for this
“im scared. i don’t want to go yet”
“there’s no need to be scared” i gently reassure, while pressing down on her shoulders
she turns to face me, watching me through her descent
“you won’t be alone. you saw. you saw everyone before you. you’re only joining them”
she tries to speak but i keep pushing
“its alright. i’ll join you soon enough. once the next one comes”
she lays there staring at me with a blank look on her face
i can’t bear to see it
soft earth claims her, blankets her and whisks her away
i hold my breath, feel the air around me shift
and then release all at once a chorus of sighs
i hope that when my time comes i’ll face it with a bit more grace
perhaps i’ll hold my head up high, maybe even take her hand, play shepherd to my own fate
there’s no point dwelling on it
i know how it goes

Live Reaction Thoughts
Standard warning: may will contain inconsistent punctuation/capitalization, talking to myself, talking to the characters, rampant speculation, and many many questions to self.
I’m guessing the movie poster the camera focused on is a famous movie from that time; and maybe the actor too? What a cool detail, if it is.
amazing - Pharit is challenging Armin with a Romeo & Juliet read.
oh Tada, you deluded so-and-so; Armin is not going to be proud of himself when he finds out he didn't get the audition on his own merits.
That was a very cool scene and poor Armin, getting a flashback in the middle of it to the worst day of his life.
I, too, am wondering what a digital floating lantern is - a projection?
Tada’s room is going to be completely empty isn’t it; so very empty
Armin :(
"noodle boy with connections" cute
omg he really did keep the beer as a souvenir; amazing
Armin’s already getting suspicous about the audition at least; I wonder if he recognized the beer.
!!!
Tada can deliver a line, wow (and clearly, so can Peterpan)
Armin, please get off the ledge you’re freaking me out
He fully told Tada everything and this is the second time so all it’s gonna take is one more thing for Tada to believe it.
Tada. is. such. a. tease.
nicely done that was great
Followed by the second best almost-kiss: the drunken fell asleep at the wrong moment kiss.
amazing
Aunt Jeed knows the score hee
come on Armin put the pieces together
It would be so weird to never know when you’re going to meet someone from your future, especially with all the changes. At this point, Armin has no idea what to expect anymore.
I didn’t expect Thiwthit to just come out and tell Armin that he’s trying to tank Armin’s career to get back at his brother; but how’d he find out??
go place some bets Phat!
lol Jeed and Phat, enjoying the drama moment, just like us
You can’t see me, but i’m literally doing chinhands during this entire scene with Armin and Tada on the bed.
next week \o/
Tumblr media
More [Coherent] Thoughts
I thought the Shakespeare audition was really well done. I loved the way it was shot and edited, using spot lighting on the 'stage' and including the lines on the screen. The Shakespeare itself was also fun to watch. The body language was great, the line reads sounded smooth and the actors all sold the emotions. And now I want to go study up on how Shakespeare is performed and adapted in different languages.
Then there's the emotional impact of Armin doing that scene with the man who betrayed him and contributed to his death. It added so much to the whole sequence. I loved it.
I hope they keep including audition and filming scenes, because I really love acting industry storylines that show us the actual job.
I don’t know if Armin’s hair is a wig or styling, but I’m officially over it. It’s neither tidy nor messy and the way it hangs against his face makes me itchy. Okay got that off my chest. Moving on. (But on the other hand: look at that face up there. Totally worth it.)
Taking bets for who figures out Armin lived through a different future first: Phat and Jeed or Tada. At this rate, they’re about even and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone figures it out next episode with how much Armin is talking about it. Even though he’s sometimes been drunk, he's also been serious, so I won't be surprised if Tada figures it out. (If he's not from his own timeline that is!)
I was hoping we’d get more hints that Tada is from a different timeline or that he came back after Armin died ala Lovely Runner, but I don’t think we got anything new this week.
I'm in love with the color palette of this show. See above. 😍Once again, we got gorgeously saturated blues and greens this week. It's such a pretty show.

What Are the Common Mistakes Students Make While Preparing for the SAT?
Tumblr media
The SAT is a crucial exam for students aiming to study at top universities worldwide. While proper preparation can lead to a high score, many students make common mistakes that negatively impact their performance. Enrolling in SAT exam coaching can help students avoid these mistakes and develop effective test-taking strategies. If you are planning to Study SAT in Ahmedabad, understanding these common pitfalls and how to overcome them can significantly improve your SAT score and boost your college application.
In this blog, we will discuss the most common SAT preparation mistakes and provide tips on how to avoid them.
1. Not Having a Study Plan
One of the biggest mistakes students make is not creating a structured study plan. Without a proper plan, students may:
Study inconsistently
Miss important topics
Struggle with time management
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Set a realistic study schedule based on your exam date.
Allocate specific days for each section (Reading, Writing, and Math).
Stick to a daily or weekly study routine to stay on track.
2. Ignoring SAT Practice Tests
Some students focus only on learning concepts but avoid taking full-length SAT practice tests. This is a huge mistake because:
The SAT is a timed test, and practicing under time pressure is essential.
Without practice tests, students don’t develop test-taking stamina.
It’s difficult to identify weak areas without regular assessments.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Take at least 5-7 full-length SAT practice tests before your actual exam.
Simulate real test conditions by timing yourself and eliminating distractions.
Analyze mistakes after each test to improve weak areas.
3. Memorizing Instead of Understanding Concepts
Many students try to memorize formulas, vocabulary, or grammar rules instead of understanding their application. This approach often leads to:
Struggling with tricky or unfamiliar questions.
Forgetting concepts under exam pressure.
Wasting time trying to recall memorized information.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Focus on understanding math concepts instead of memorizing formulas.
Practice real SAT questions to see how concepts are tested.
For SAT Reading and Writing, learn strategies to analyze and answer questions logically.
4. Neglecting Time Management During the Test
Many students spend too much time on difficult questions and end up rushing through the rest of the exam. Poor time management leads to:
Leaving questions unanswered.
Making careless mistakes due to last-minute panic.
Running out of time before completing the test.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Learn to skip difficult questions and return to them later.
Use time-tracking strategies (e.g., spending no more than 1 minute per question).
Practice under timed conditions to build test-taking speed.
5. Overlooking the Importance of the SAT Writing and Language Section
Some students focus only on Math and Reading but neglect SAT Writing and Language. This can hurt their overall score because:
Writing contributes to half of the Reading and Writing score (up to 800 points).
Ignoring grammar and punctuation rules leads to avoidable mistakes.
The Writing section is one of the easiest areas to boost your overall SAT score.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Study common grammar rules tested on the SAT (e.g., subject-verb agreement, punctuation).
Practice sentence improvement and error identification questions.
Take timed Writing section tests to improve speed and accuracy.
6. Not Reviewing Mistakes Properly
Some students take practice tests but don’t review their mistakes. This is a critical error because:
Repeating the same mistakes lowers your final score.
Understanding why an answer is wrong helps you avoid similar errors.
Without proper analysis, students don’t improve effectively.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
After every practice test, review each incorrect answer carefully.
Identify patterns in mistakes (e.g., always struggling with algebra or inference questions).
Use an SAT error log to track mistakes and avoid repeating them.
7. Relying Too Much on a Calculator
Many students depend on their calculator for every math question, which can slow them down. Some math questions are quicker to solve without a calculator, and over-reliance leads to:
Wasting time on simple calculations.
Not developing mental math skills.
Making careless errors due to calculator misinputs.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Practice solving easy and medium-level questions without a calculator.
Use your calculator only when necessary, especially for complex calculations.
Learn SAT-specific calculator strategies to save time.
8. Studying Without the Right SAT Prep Materials
Many students use random online resources instead of official SAT prep books and tests. Using low-quality materials can result in:
Studying questions that don’t reflect the real SAT format.
Learning incorrect strategies or outdated information.
Wasting time on ineffective study materials.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Use official SAT study resources like:
The Official SAT Study Guide (by College Board).
SAT practice tests from Khan Academy.
The SAT Prep Black Book for strategy-based learning.
Avoid low-quality or unverified online sources.
9. Not Considering SAT Exam Coaching
Some students believe they can prepare for the SAT without professional help. While self-study works for some, SAT exam coaching offers several benefits, including:
Structured study plans and expert guidance.
Regular assessments and feedback.
Personalized strategies to improve weak areas.
How to Avoid This Mistake:
Enroll in a reputed SAT exam coaching center for professional training.
Attend coaching classes for structured learning and strategy-building.
Take advantage of expert guidance to maximize your score.
Conclusion: Avoid These Mistakes to Improve Your SAT Score
Preparing for the SAT requires smart study strategies and discipline. By avoiding these common mistakes, students can:
Improve their SAT scores efficiently.
Reduce stress and test-day anxiety.
Increase their chances of getting into top universities.
If you’re preparing for the SAT, learn from these mistakes and focus on a strategic study plan to achieve your best score.
FAQs
1. How early should I start preparing for the SAT?
Ideally, 3-6 months before your test date for effective preparation.
2. How many practice tests should I take?
At least 5-7 full-length SAT practice tests before the actual exam.
3. Is self-study enough, or should I take SAT exam coaching?
Self-study works for some students, but SAT exam coaching can provide structured guidance, expert tips, and personalized feedback to improve scores.
4. What’s the best way to manage time during the SAT?
Practice with timed mock tests, skip difficult questions, and use strategic pacing techniques.
5. Can I retake the SAT if I don’t get a good score?
Yes. The SAT can be retaken multiple times, and most universities consider your best score.

Troubleshooting Labels in Google My Business: Common Issues and Fixes
Tumblr media
Google business listing labels are a powerful tool for organizing and optimizing your Google My Business (GMB) profile, especially if your business operates in multiple locations or offers various services. Labels allow you to categorize your listings by location, service, or promotions, making it easier to manage your online presence. However, like any tool, labels in GMB can sometimes present issues that need troubleshooting. From missing labels to confusion about how they affect search results, understanding and resolving these common problems can ensure your listings stay accurate and optimized for local search.
1. Labels Not Showing Up on Your GMB Listing
One of the most common issues businesses face with Google business listing labels is that the labels don’t appear as expected on their GMB listings. This can happen for a number of reasons, including syncing issues or incorrectly applying the labels. If your labels aren’t showing up, try the following steps:
Check Label Format: Ensure that the labels are entered correctly in your GMB dashboard. Google may not recognize certain special characters, so stick to alphanumeric text and simple punctuation.
Refresh Your Listing: Sometimes, changes to your GMB profile can take a little while to reflect. Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in to see if the labels appear.
Verify GMB Account: If you’re managing multiple locations or services, ensure that your GMB account is properly set up and verified. Incorrect or incomplete profile information can prevent labels from being applied correctly.
2. Labels Not Appearing in Local Search Results
Another issue businesses may face is that labels aren’t showing up in local search results, even though they are applied correctly in their GMB dashboard. This can be frustrating, especially when you’ve organized your listings based on location or services. There are a few reasons why this might happen:
Improper Label Application: Labels need to be applied strategically for them to be effective in local searches. For instance, if you have a business location in Costa Rica and you’ve applied a “Costa Rica Office” label, make sure your services and descriptions are tailored to that location as well.
Competition and Search Algorithm: Google’s local search algorithm is complex, and labels alone may not guarantee that your business will appear for specific keywords. Ensure that your entire GMB profile, including categories and descriptions, is optimized for the target location and services.
Improper Use of Keywords: Make sure your labels are descriptive and relevant to your business. For example, if you run local citations services in Argentina, make sure your labels clearly reflect the service and location, such as “Local Citations – Buenos Aires.”
3. Label Confusion Between Locations or Services
If your business operates across several locations, especially in different countries like Argentina or Belgium, confusion may arise when labels overlap or are applied inconsistently. For example, you might apply the same label, like “SEO Services,” to multiple locations, but the listings may become jumbled or unclear.
To avoid this, create distinct labels for each location and service combination. Instead of just “SEO Services,” consider adding more specific identifiers like “SEO Services – Costa Rica” or “SEO Services – Buenos Aires.” This will help Google better understand which listings to prioritize in search results and ensure customers can find the exact location or service they’re looking for.
4. Labels Affecting SEO Performance
Some businesses worry that using too many labels or incorrectly applying them might negatively impact their SEO performance. While labels themselves don’t directly impact rankings, improperly categorized or overly vague labels may lead to less effective search engine results.
Make sure your labels are clear, concise, and relevant to your business. Don’t overstuff labels with keywords—focus on what truly defines each location or service. For example, a “local citations management service” label should only be applied if that service is specifically relevant to the business location.

If you're still encountering issues with organizing or optimizing your GMB listings, partnering with a service like Citation Builder Pro can provide additional support. Citation Builder Pro specializes in citation management, helping businesses ensure accurate and consistent information across all online directories.

How do you write a book (steps) and publish it?
Tumblr media
Writing and publishing a book can be a fulfilling yet complex process. Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you navigate through writing, editing, and self-publishing:
Phase 1: Planning and Writing the Book
1. Choose Your Book’s Genre and Concept
  - What to do: Decide what type of book you want to write (e.g., fiction, non-fiction, memoir, self-help). Clarify your book’s purpose and audience.
   - Why: Knowing your genre and target audience will guide your writing style, tone, and content.
2. Research and Develop Ideas
   - What to do: If your book requires background knowledge (especially for non-fiction), research thoroughly before starting. For fiction, you can brainstorm plot ideas, characters, and settings.
   - Why: Adequate research ensures credibility and accuracy in your work.
3. Create an Outline
   - What to do: Draft a detailed outline of your book, organizing chapters, key points, and character arcs.
   - Why: An outline helps to structure your book and ensure a logical flow of ideas. It also prevents writer's block and disorganized content.
4. Start Writing the First Draft
   - What to do: Write your book based on your outline. Don’t worry about perfection at this stage; the goal is to get your ideas onto the page.
   - Why: The first draft is about getting your story or message down. Editing comes later.
5. Set a Writing Schedule
   - What to do: Set a daily or weekly word count goal and create a realistic schedule to stay on track.
   - Why: Regular writing habits keep you progressing and help you complete your manuscript on time.
6. Revise and Edit
   - What to do: After completing your first draft, set it aside for a while, then return with fresh eyes to revise. Focus on improving structure, flow, and clarity.
   - Why: Revising your draft ensures the content is cohesive, logical, and engaging. You’ll refine ideas, fix plot holes, and strengthen your writing.
Phase 2: Editing and Polishing
7. Get Feedback
   - What to do: Share your manuscript with beta readers, critique groups, or writing partners for feedback.
   - Why: Fresh perspectives can help identify issues you might have missed, such as pacing problems, plot inconsistencies, or weak character development.
8. Hire a Professional Editor
   - What to do: Depending on your budget and needs, hire an editor for developmental edits, copy edits, or proofreading.
   - Why: Professional editors will polish your manuscript by fixing grammar, punctuation, and clarity issues while also improving the structure and flow.
Phase 3: Formatting and Design
9. Format the Manuscript
   - What to do: Ensure your manuscript is formatted correctly for both print and eBook versions. You can either do this yourself using tools like Vellum or Scrivener, or hire a professional.
   - Why: Proper formatting is crucial for a professional-looking book, whether it’s printed or sold digitally.
10. Design a Cover
   - What to do: Hire a professional cover designer or use design tools like Canva for creating an eye-catching cover.
   - Why: A book cover is the first thing readers see and can heavily influence whether they pick up your book. It needs to look professional and convey the essence of your story or message.
Phase 4: Publishing the Book
11. Choose Your Publishing Route
   - What to do: Decide whether you want to self-publish or pursue traditional publishing.
     - Traditional publishing: Send query letters to literary agents or publishers.
     - Self-publishing: Publish your book independently through platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, or others.
   - Why: Each route has its pros and cons. Traditional publishing offers prestige and broader distribution, but it's competitive and slow. Self-publishing provides full control and quicker publishing but requires you to handle marketing and distribution.
12. Select a Self-Publishing Platform (for Self-Publishing)
   - What to do: If you choose self-publishing, select a platform such as:
     - Amazon KDP: For eBook and paperback distribution via Amazon.
     - IngramSpark: For wider distribution to bookstores and libraries.
     - Draft2Digital: For distributing your eBook to multiple retailers.
   - Why: Each platform has different distribution channels, royalty rates, and services. Choose one based on your goals and market reach.
13. Upload Your Manuscript and Cover
   - What to do: Once you’ve formatted your manuscript and designed the cover, upload them to your chosen self-publishing platform.
   - Why: This is where your book will be distributed to readers in the formats you’ve chosen (eBook, paperback, etc.).
14. Set Your Pricing and Royalties
   - What to do: Choose a pricing strategy that matches your target audience and book length. Set royalty percentages depending on your chosen platform.
   - Why: The right pricing affects sales. You’ll also want to choose competitive royalties.
Phase 5: Marketing and Promotion
15. Create a Marketing Plan
   - What to do: Start by planning your book’s launch. Use email lists, social media, and your personal network to generate buzz before the release.
   - Why: Marketing is crucial for reaching your audience and making sales. Without it, even the best books might not get noticed.
16. Build an Online Presence
   - What to do: Create an author website and set up social media profiles. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn can help you connect with potential readers.
   - Why: A strong online presence helps you engage with your audience, build a reader base, and promote future books.
17. Use Promotional Tools
   - What to do: Use promotional tools provided by platforms like KDP (e.g., Kindle Unlimited, free days, or countdown deals) to increase visibility.
   - Why: Promotions can boost your book's ranking and sales, especially during the launch phase.
18. Reach Out to Book Bloggers and Reviewers
   - What to do: Send copies of your book to book bloggers, reviewers, and influencers in your genre. Ask them to review your book and share it with their audience.
   - Why: Reviews and endorsements help build credibility and attract new readers.
Phase 6: Post-Publishing Maintenance
19. Monitor Your Sales and Marketing Efforts
   - What to do: Use the analytics provided by self-publishing platforms to track your sales, reviews, and reader engagement.
   - Why: Monitoring sales will help you understand what marketing efforts are working and where you might need to adjust your strategy.
20. Update and Improve
   - What to do: Based on feedback and sales performance, update your marketing strategies, book description, or even parts of the content if necessary.
   - Why: Keeping your book’s presentation and marketing fresh can boost sales over time.
Conclusion:
Writing and publishing a book is a multifaceted journey. It involves planning, dedication, and careful execution, but with the right approach, it can be incredibly rewarding. Whether you opt for traditional publishing or self-publishing, following these steps will help ensure your book reaches the right audience and achieves its full potential.

Teamwork makes the dream work fr!! Always happy to throw out some ideas o7
LMAOO yeah idk I think there was a lot of missed potential with the galaxy dragons (also the required island habitat thing kinda pissed me off but wtv I guess)
Truly nothing is happening each chapter….speaking of it feels like it’s been forever since the last one?? Or maybe my perception of time is just awful LMAO but dude this is like my dream I used to cheer for fics that were above 1k hit the jackpot FR i can’t wait to unravel the layers!!!
It truly is just the fanon brainwashing echo chamber…it’s kinda crazy how often this happens in like every fandom but I guess not completely unexpected…
WILL DEFINITELY RETURN FOR COMMENTARY idk how im gonna do this ill probably binge it all and leave like a mega commentary ask LMAOO or maybe ill split it up by section?? Im inclined to do just one big one but at the same time I don’t wanna like forget my thoughts as I read or maybe I’ll actually follow through annotation live reaction style LMAOA (also autocorrect is NOT my bestie it’s so inconsistent in capitalizing and fixing my punctuation so if anything looks goofy in my writing that’s also why like I’ll leave these here as an example by why are half my “I’ll”s properly punctuated and half not???)
YOURE SO RIGHT Karasu #1 truly…he’s THE MAN
FR like now im like wait so which is it like is he secretly a bully or…/j hoping the light novel gives more insight…but YEAH I think if he had like a fwtkac y/n he’d probably just brush off her insults and banter respond maturely I can’t really see him participating in that sort of banter…I feel like yuki’s probably one of the ones I’d say friends to lovers fits well with..? Or some type of strangers to lovers but specifically in like a form of pining from a distance maybe (since he likes ethereal things idk, also I never understood what that meant in terms of his “fetish”??? First of all kinda random fact to throw in but also how….? I can’t tell if I’m being crazy or not but)
LMAOO i remember watching it a long time ago and it was definitely entertaining HAHAH but TAKE A HINT IS SOOOO ICONIC!! I love it sm have the lyrics literally memorized and it’s so perfect for karaoke too LOL but YESS ADDED TO THE LIST o7 honestly im just excited for whatever you throw out next it could honestly even be a fic for shidou and id read it too there’s just no misses on account >>> ok but seriously now im super hyped for the best friends brother idea too so much potential!!! And honestly we probably read the same fics with otoyas younger sister (since the tag is so barren </3) I’ve also definitely seen a fair share of Reo’s younger sister dating nagi!! We love mold deviations >>> but I’ll admit some of the chatacter’s sister works I’ve read were pretty entertaining when done well!
I somehow read that wrong at first and thought it said that YOU shyed away from female characters and I was like….are you sure about that?? LMAOAO but FR I’ve definitely noticed that too….especially in other fandoms the only time I’ve seen another female character is usually when she’s acting like a plot device villain to create some drama or something and I’m like oh…. THE CENSORING LMAOO I’m gonna admit the plot device villain women side characters was definitely most prevalent on said website LMFAO I think specifically in using them as a tool for like jealousy or cheating or wtv I remember reading some and I was like oh. Ok then. Closed the tab and didn’t look back because sometimes it doesn’t make sense either like you can tell they’re really just there to be used in your typical jealousy trope
Also the gymnastics my brain did for no reason reading brothers best friend and best friends brother LMAOAO I got it now though so all good
I definitely think that it makes sense who has siblings and who doesn’t! Like it fs fits their characters but I remember flipping through the Bible and being like “man I wish there were more content in yours/aka family crumbs” LMAO ok Kunigami is definitely a rare breed of middle child…like the ideal middle child LMAO his sister raised him right (before wild card eek) to this day I still don’t know what I imagined otoya to be it is NOT middle child though…I guess the closest would be youngest sibling maybe?? I was kinda surprised he was sandwiched between two sisters though (especially since he’s a cheater but we’ve already had this convo HAHA) LMFAOO PARTICULAR BRAND OF SHITHEAD that’s so real I think I also partially felt that just because he was on the older side of BLLK? But I can definitely say he’s the younger bro who probably gets bossed around lightly by his older sister but has enough respect for her to let her do so and just goes with what she asks(I can imagine her sending him on like errands or asking for favors like pick up some tea on the way home or pick up this lipgloss for me) LMAO
I’m laughing so hard yeah if I spawned shidou into the world I would be done after one too LMFOAOA
Ok off to read pomegranate ink!! Get ready for a lot of commentary LOL
-Karasu anon
in general i feel like dragonvale had a lot of missed potential…i wish there was a way you could interact with the dragons?? like pet them or smth idk LMAOO ik it’s supposed to simulate a zoo so realistically you wouldn’t be petting them but they’re so cuteee like let me cuddle w them!!
i think the leaks have been dropping earlier and earlier so it seems like a lot of time has passed since the last chapter maybe?? the last one i can remember is 269 i believe where rin starts going a bit crazy 😭 but i forget when that came out
yeahh i think it’s just to be expected from fandoms atp!! once one person characterizes a character in a certain way everyone tends to follow that (especially if that fic gets popular) at the end of the day it is what it is 😩
HAHA dwww autocorrect is so unreliable i get it!! and either way i look forward to hearing your thoughts 🫡 even if it’s literally just “cool story 👍” LMAOAAO
i feel like fetish must be some weird kind of lost in translation thing?? like maybe it means preference or smth that they find attractive but not necessarily in a strictly sexual way (because if it is sexual then what is going on w yuki…how are you turned on by ephemeral things?? like he gives cherry blossoms as an example which doesn’t even makes sense 😭 does he bust every time he goes out during the spring)
PLEASEEEE OMG NOT SHIDOU i feel like now i have to write him just to see if i can do it in a way that’s appealing LMAOAO that would truly be the greatest challenge ever…haha i agree idm character’s younger sister when it’s done well!! i’ve been in some fandoms though where especially for long fics people will just make their “character’s younger sister” characters exact copies of the older sibling because they can’t come up w something of their own (jjk is notorious for this…the amt of gojo’s younger sister characters that exist in this world is crazy)
i NEVER shy away from a good female side character 😤 i think it’s come to the point where so many people just use female characters as obstacles to the main relationship that readers automatically expect it and jump to hating on female characters just for existing in a story or even daring to BREATHE near the male lead even if they’ve shown no interest in him. i have one story where i have a character who’s kind of the reader’s adopted sister?? and at one point she’s sick so the main love interest helps her back to her room…the death threats that poor character received for that are INSANE!! the whole point of the scene was to show how the main love interest is a generally caring guy too and she at that point already has an established love interest of her own so the hate was truly unwarranted but people were just unable to see beyond the love interest daring to interact w a girl 😒
otoya gives me only child vibes or like i can see him having a younger brother!! def not being stuck between two sisters given his interesting dating habits…LMAOO kunigami was raised well though 👆🏻 needs to be studied wtf ego did to him in wildcard because how did his entire personality change like that?? was my man in there getting tortured or smth tf 😭 and yess i do think karasu being one of the older ones in bllk and teasing isagi/rin/shidou (who’s technically older than him but wtvr) for being immature made it seem as though he would be an older sibling but agreed i can see him being the younger sibling who has to go get a glass of water for his older sister every time she asks and whatnot
see this is why i need to know what shidou’s parents are like…like are they like him?? or is he completely an anomaly amongst his family?? LMAO truly top ten greatest mysteries of bllk
I AM READY FOR THE COMMENTARY 🫡

I tried watching JelloApocolaypse’s video on RWBY again.
... Yeah, just as bad as before.
A. The conflict with the Grimm is not the plot of the story. It’s just the backstory.
B. “Haha look! RWBY added in something at the last minute! Ain;t that stupid?” *looks behind him to see Dragon Ball posters*.
C. “Haha Naruto reference!” Because eye powers are unique to Naruto and this isn’t an overdone cliche.
D. “Hur dur, Weiss hate Ruby!” No she doesn’t. That stopped being a thing by the end of Volume 1.
E. “Weiss loses every fight!” Except for the White Trailer...and V1 E8...and V1 E10...and V2 E4...and V2 E12...and V3 E1...and V3 E11.
F. “BLAKE BLAND!” So is your humor.
G. “FANAUS INCONSISTENT!” And yet you call yourself an animator...
H. “THEY NO EXPLORE SIDE CHARACTERS” *Shows Emerald, Sun and Velvet*
I. “SHOW NO ABOUT CHARACTERS, FIGHTS!’ Yes the fights that even in the early Volumes were used to punctuate character arcs and conflicts...which means it is about the characters.
J. “BUTTMETAL!” ... RWBY uses Rock.
K. “ANIMATION BAD!” Congrats, you said literally the most generic compliant about RWBY ever.
L. “PYRRHA MARKED FOR DEATH!” ... You didn’t even mention her namesake being the origin of the term “Pyrrhic Victory”.
M. “ADAM THE WORST!” ... ... ... That’s it. You didn’t even make a joke about him being a bull Fanaus, you just treated him like a dog.
N. “DUST NOT MAGIC?!” Wow, you’d just die if someone tried explaining the Nasuverse to you huh?
O. “WRITERS FORGOT STOLEN DUST?!” What do you think the bombs had in them to explode? The unmentioned gunpowder?
P. “MAGIC EXIST BUT IT INCONSISTENT!” Since when have we seen people casually throw firebombs everywhere?
Q. “THEY FORGOT!” Yes, your ghostwriters did forget.
R. “WOR HOMEWORK” Wow, don’t let this guy near Tolkien or else his brain will break.
S. “RWBY CHIBI BETTTER!” If by better you shallow and less consistent. To translate this- imagine if someone argued that the first Summer Event used Arturia better than the mainline game in FGO.
T. “PLOT SLOW” So is Berserk’s. Wanna try swinging at that?
U. “MOMMY SALAMI!” This is literally a little kid’s joke.
V. “4 and 5 BAD!” ... Wouldn’t that make it more attractive to smack talk then? If they’re so much worse then why is this 60% Volumes 1-3 and 40% Vague? ... It’s because the bitching becomes inconsistent and impossible to generalize after Volume 3 so you can’t just make generic jokes to pander, isn’t it?
W. “OZPIN MORALLY GREY BUT HE NO DO GREY STUFF!” *sees this is made after Volume 6* Ah huh. Sure. Whatever. I can buy that.
X. “FUNNY MAN SAY BIRD!” Your humor is more shallow than Chibi’s.
Y. “THEY NO ADVANCE PLOT!” I love that this is shoved in with a ‘Wasted potential’ joke because if they picked up the pace, that means less time for that ‘potential’ of yours.
Z. “BUMBLEBY NOT BUILT UP!” 
Me: *remembers the backlash of this part* Ha! The only laugh of the whole video and it was at his misery.
Why is this just not funny? Because comedy is all about sudden subversion. Laughter is a gut reaction to sudden changes to indicate that everything’s fine. It’s why insane laughter is so dissonant. And all Jello says is the same shit you’ve heard before. There is no subversion despite pretending there is. You will see every joke coming and thus you’ll just be bored.
But hey, at least he fucked up mocking a flawed show. It’s not like he completely missed the point of a truly great series. Nope, not once.

Part 11: Wattpad Edition
Part One / Part Two / Wom’s Chapter / Part Three/ Wom 2 / Part Four/Part Five / Part Six / Wom 3 / Part Seven / Part Eight / Part Nine / Wom 4 / Part 10
PREVIOUSLY ON WET SOCK...
“Oh shit,” he said. “Fuck I don’t think we were supposed to let Elmo in.”
“Ohh, right,” Fuck said, their edible also hitting.
“What do you mean ‘not supposed to let Elmo in?’” Rad asked, balling her fists. “What is going on?”
“Well, our musical number got interrupted,” Beluga said. “And the world’s gonna end.”
{insert catchy but mysterious intro}
"The world's gonna end?" Rad asked, raising an eyebrow. Her multicolored orbs watered. "uwu."
"okay but why" Elmo queried.
"Well, we didn't want to tell you this," Beluga said, "but Elmo is--
"Beluga, you're supposed to be in character," Fuck hissed, smacking him with their wing.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Beluga asked.
"Like this," Fuck declared. Their feathers were always messy, but it made them so hot. Everyone at school stayed clear of them, but Y/N couldn't get her mind off of them. But every time Y/N tried to talk to Fuck, she always ended up tripping or dropping something or embarrassing herself.
"Got it," Beluga giggled, his 64 pack glistening with sexy sweat. "Am I doing it right?"
"Close enough," Fuck seethed.
"hey can you tell us what's happening" Elmo said. "i have an appointment with a hot vampire lady with a heart of gold in like an hour. weve been meeting for like fifty chapters and we just made charged eye contact for the first time."
"WAIT I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE?!?!?!" Rad shrieked, tears streaming cutely down her face.
"I'm so sorry babe," Elmo said, running a hand through her black, red, and blue hair that went all the way down to her mid back also she was wearing purple lipstick that matched her violet eyes. "Forgive me."
"Okay whatevs uwu i'll take you back"
"What the HELL is going on here?" Misp shouted, standing in the doorway with a tray of cookies. (AN misp doesn't know that everyone is doing the wattpad thing).
"We're ignoring the lore to dive into a very one-dimensional love story written with noticeably bad grammar and punctuation, stilted prose, impossibly perfect characters and inconsistent plots. Writing like this is of course an important step that most writers go through, as it allows them to explore their creativity and learn the basics of writing. The trouble only comes when a writer is unable to mature past this stage," Beluga said. "Or something idk lol (AN stop telling me this is OOC! This is just my interpretation of the character OWO)
"Is that why you have a 64 pack that glistens in the sun and Fuck's feathers are messy but perfect and Elmo is in a love triangle with our mom and a hot vampire lady?" Misp asked, slowly transforming into the older sibling in high school who is good at sports and popular. "What about Womb?"
"My parents sold him to One Direction for drinking money," Rad said, crying cutely again. Her perfect mascara didn't run down her face tho (AN in this universe mascara doesn't run).
Rad suddenly dropped all of her books. "Oh my gosh I'm so clumsy."
"It's okay, our mom has depression ever since our Dad mysteriously disappeared," Misp said, popping the collar on her varsity jacket.
"Thank you older sibling who is cool and popular," Rad said. "Hey, have you seen Y/N?"
"Y/N?" Misp asked, looking at the camera. "I do see Y/N. Right there."
Rad, and everyone else, looked at the camera. "We see you."
They see Y/N. Y/N can see them. All of them.
"W̷̢̤̲̗̘̝̺̅̒͆̐̋̽Ę̷͉̬͖̝̤̇̽̃̚͝ ̶̡̜͕̳̄̐́̌̃͑ͅS̸͚̘͙͖͗̾̈́̒̆̒̔͌͝͝ͅẺ̵̲͎͎̦́̆͛̕Ȇ̷͔̣̲̦̤̟̙͌͐͋̾͜ ̸̡͇̟͓͎̏̄̾͛Y̷̠̏̽̈̍̋̌̎̚Ȏ̵̢̢͖̜͓̜̩̺̱͉͐̽̈́̍̌̿̚͝͝Ų̸̺͙̝́ ̶̡̟̙̙̱͈̿͐̇̅̇̊̀̚͠Ŷ̴̺̄̈́͐̄̑̒̈́̈́̕/̸̢͈̘̽̽Ṅ̵̢͎͈̣͙̝͔̙̋̎́͗́̀̂"
"Okay, okay, this is getting too weird and meta," Beluga said, smacking the wall and breaking the Wattpad spell. "We need to get back to the plot."
"Oh yeah," Rad said. "Something about the world ending?"
"Yeah that," Fuck said. "It doesn't have to. But it could."
"How do we stop it?" Elmo asked. Before they could answer, Beluga and Fuck disappeared, leaving a single perfectly messy feather in the center of the living room.

Tumblr media
how does txt text? (v realistic and accurate)
txt as gen z boys you started texting over quarantine😔💔
a/n: this has been sitting in my drafts for so long... it’s literally so bad but i thought i was kind of funny  LOLLL💀💀 it’s not like what i usually write but hope it’s at least a bit enjoyable !! (also tysm for 100+ followers !!!!!!! teehee<333333)
warnings: some swearing, overuse of emojis, dated trends bc i wrote this three months ago LOL
Tumblr media
yeonjun:
honestly ??? seems like a dry texter ... doesn’t reread his texts so sometimes they come out confusing even though he keeps spell check on, also never sends a text with more than ten words
lowkey dad texter if you’re not having an actual conversation ... lots of ‘k’, ‘thx’, ‘👍’, ‘idc/k’ and ‘lol’ ... also uses 💯, 😂 and ❤️ unironically 😔😔😔
also ‘???’
NOTORIOUS FOR BEING THAT GUY WHO JUST SAYS ‘hey’ WHEN YOU HAVENT TALKED IN LIKE TWO DAYS LMAO
you can never read how he’s feeling over text but sometimes he’ll sprinkle in a :) or a ;)) just to keep you on your toes
either no punctuation at all or an unnecessary overuse of punctuation ... if there is punctuation it?s , bad punctuation . ???????!!??~~~~ which is how most of his texts transfer emotions i guess ?? lol
he’s only like this because he genuinely sees texting as a quick last resort type of communication...
if you want to talk with him just give him a call... he prefers to hear your voice anyways🥺
soobin:
standard gen z texter, has good spelling, keeps his letters all lowercase for no reason other than because he thinks it looks nice ?? turns caps lock on for when he feels scandalized
texts like a bisexual......... u know with a ‘ !!’ or ‘ ??’ at the end...(the space between the last word and the punctuation is the most important part), uses a lot of ~~~~~ and ;;;;;;; and ^^ or >< too because he doesn’t want to sound monotone
‘lololol’ and ‘lolllllllllllll’.... also maybe ‘haha yeah’
super inconsistent when it comes to replying rip... like you’ll be able to hold a really good conversation for at most an hour and then he’ll leave you on delivered until the next day when he continues the conversation like nothing happened
only double texts when he needs to !! is a good boy and sends one longish text rather than a lot of short texts at once; good at paraphrasing, understands that not everyone views texting as a tool for conversation
looks like he’d be pretty good at using emojis, probably hip enough to use 😭😭😭 as a laughing emoji, also keyboard smashes
frequent user of this emoji as well: 😰
probably gets really lazy sometimes too so he ends up sending you a lot of voice memos
just overall extremely chaotic neutral
beomgyu:
seems the most normal/trendy texter imo😭
really great at using emojis... his best hits include: 😳, ✨, 🥰, 🤗 and 🥺 (ESPECIALLY 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺), also is a frequent user of all the pink heart emojis most notably 💕, texting him is never boring and he does his best to come off nice !! and he can tone down how he texts too... versatile king
definitely calls yeonjun a boomer for using 😂
but he’s also probably on tiktok or smthn A LOT so if you’re close to him he’ll pull the: 👁👄👁, 😀, 🥴, 💀💀💀, 😻, 🤡, 🧍....... used ‘no❤️’ and also ‘🧚✨’ before it got annoying...
the one who sends you very obscure memes he finds off the internet as replies to your texts but they somehow always just work..... sth like those badly edited facebook memes or sth LMAOOOOOO😭😭
his one downfall: will definetly accidentally type out the wrong your/you’re... same with there/they’re/their and no matter how much it annoys you he really could not care less
i lied here’s another downfall: he’s SUPER bad with replying. leaves you on read accidentally a lot and it kinda hurts ngl💀
i lied again here’s one last downfall... even if he’s bad with replying he will not hesitate to text you to get your attention...... he does not give a single shit. if he needs you he’ll text each individual letter of H E L L O, also double texts if he’s excited but you let it slide because he’s cute😔
taehyun:
another good texter but maybe... too good.....
his spelling and grammar are on point... you will never ever catch him slipping. periods at the end of every sentence. him and hyuka are probably the only ones who still use auto capitalization
but something about his texting seems so robotic....... you find yourself honestly wondering if he’s being dry with you or if he’s just being super polite
it’s also definetly because he somehow always finds the perfectly specific emoji to include at the end of his message💀
and they’re always obscure ones too... he used the 🚏 emoji once when he told you he was ‘Waiting for the bus. 🚌🚏 Cannot wait you see you. 🤓’ and it made you go huh...
overall pretty articulate over text but when you’re acting a bit questionable his favourite emoji to use is simply 🤨 he also genuinely believes 🤓 is cute... like ok taehyun
lowkey dry texter so it’s somehow satisfying when he uses exclamation marks... it shows that he’s excited lol
he’s unpredictable and distinct... unique king
huening kai:
texting god.... but wbk
if gyu has bruh girl energy hyuka def has big hii girly! :) energy LMAOOOO
genuinely the sweetest texter, you can hear his voice and feel his energy through his messages🥺
takes the time to use the japanese emojis... (๑╹ω╹๑ ) it’s super duper adorable... some of his favourite emojis are 🤩, 😊, 🕺 and 🙈
but if it’s struggle hours you know he’s going 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
uses coloured heart emojis !! 🧡💛💚💙💛💜
definetly uses uwu and xD unironically but it’s really cute when he does it....
ofc >3< is his signature
uses ‘BAHAHAHAHA’ and ‘Hehehehee’ instead of just lol..... also an avid keyboard smasher esp if you are too (he’s never felt more alive than when using sksksksk was still a trend... emits highkey vsco girl energy on top of his hii girly energy lol)
another kid who overuses punctuation ???? but just to emphasize !!!!! his !!!!!!! point ,,,..,,,!!!!
sends you motivational texts throughout the day... ‘You’ve got this!!!!! (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾ I hope you have a good day today!!!!!!!!!(๑>◡<๑)💛💛💚’
tried to turn off auto capitalization but thought it made him come off as too aloof/impolite so he turned it back on😭😭 doesn’t have a problem when other people don’t use it though !!

Calebros: A Rant About My Favorite VTM NPC
I do love the newer Vampire: the Masquerade content, but sometimes the writing leaves a lot to be desired. A prominent example is - what in my opinion is - the butchery of Calebros’ character in Beckett's Jyhad Diary.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While I do love seeing the more brusque side of Calebros’ personality, I don’t think I’ve ever recalled him being this vulgar in the original Clan Novels. He was definitely not dropping the f-bombs left and right, and even his gruff manner had more to do with dry humor, sarcasm, and keeping up the dignified image fit for a clan leader. I do realize that this series of chat is set much after his whole ordeal as Prince of New York is over, so maybe the experience really changed him. However, the in-universe explanation of his drastic shift in personality is lacking– it is most likely the result of a change in writers which led to inconsistent writing and characterization.
Here are some examples of scenes that presents his characterization in a more nuanced light.
Scene 1: The Nictuku Accusation
“They would have eaten me, I tell you!” “I believe you, Jeremiah,” Calebros said in a forced, calm tone. He was tired of nodding politely, of reassuring his clanmate. Jeremiah could be a difficult person to like at times. This was rapidly becoming one of those times. “Don’t you humor me!” Jeremiah snapped. “I’ve been coming to you about this for weeks now.” Seems more like years, Calebros thought. “And still you’ve done nothing. Nothing!” Jeremiah paced around, gesticulating wildly. There was no second chair by Calebros’s desk, and for this very reason. He mostly didn’t like guests, didn’t want guests, didn’t want to encourage them to sit down, to take a load off and stay for a while. Most anyone who had reason or inclination to visit Calebros was irate, complaining, or tiresome. Jeremiah happened to be all three presently. “That is not true,” Calebros assured him. Jeremiah snorted in disgusted. “What, then? Tell me. What have you done?” “I have considered quite carefully your report.” “Ha! Like I said, nothing. ‘Considered my report…’” Jeremiah repeated contemptuously. “This is what I think of you and your reports—” he said, grabbing a handful of papers from the nearest stack on Calebros’s desk. Jeremiah made to fling them into the air— Instantly, Calebros’s hand shot out and latched around his visitor’s wrist. Talons pricked undead flesh ever so slightly. “Believe me,” said Calebros evenly. “You do not want to do that.” They faced each other for a moment, one monstrous creature restraining the hand of another. Jeremiah’s fingers, biting into the papers, were long and grotesquely thin, little more than needles of bone. His entire body was thin and hard and covered with knots, bulging masses of hardened tissue, like an old, gnarled swamp tree. Finally he stopped resisting Calebros and returned the reports to the desk. “I’m sorry,” Jeremiah said and resumed his pacing, just as intently if less frenetically.
This is from the Nosferatu clan novel. Here, Jeremiah is trying to get Calebros to believe that there truly are Nictukus dwelling in the sewers. Calebros is, frankly, tired of hearing the folk tale especially when he has other pressing matters to deal with. Yet, even with his patience paper thin, he does not lash out at his broodmate. He is shown to be deeply introverted, anti-social perhaps, but he does not let his own nature affect his duties. As the Nosferatu primogen - as the leader of the clan - he has to listen to the concerns of his family, no matter how absurd. He knows when to express his authority, and he never abuses it. Again, no f-bombs dropped.
Scene 2: The Salt Lake
“Geez, what am I, your mother?” Emmett asked. “No,” Calebros said. “You are my brother, my broodmate.” “Brood, litter, whatever. We were both chosen to suck the old blood tit, so who am I to ask questions?” Calebros sighed. Blood tit, indeed. “That’s not how you remember it.” Now it was Emmett’s turn to sigh. “Don’t do this. Don’t get all… You always do this, get all touchy-feely we’re-all-brothers-in-the-blood, when you soak your head, blah, blah, blah…” “Make light of it if you will—” “I will. Thank you very much. Got enough salt here?” Emmett flicked some at Calebros.
This is from the Nosferatu clan novel. Here, Calebros has just came up from his meditation within the mud hole / salt lake. He is shown to be introspective and even sentimental. In terms of character voice, his more poised speaking style and inner monologue is contrasted against Emmett’s rough, colloquial style.
Other Sources
In the Calebros graphic novel, a similar scene is shown where Calebros is depicted to be trying and failing to remember his past before he became a vampire, losing his mind as he mixes up imagination with false memories. His inner dialogue in the graphic novel shows him saying:
“Do I tell him that his prince, his... compatriot?, is losing his mind? Never.”
This very much reflects his true nature. In Vampire: the Masquerade, there is a system of nature vs demeanor. According to his character sheet, his demeanor is that of a “director” while his nature is a “martyr (penitent)”.
Director: To the Director, nothing is worse than chaos and disorder. The Director seeks to be in charge, adopting a "my way or the highway" attitude on matters of decision-making. The Director is more concerned with bringing order out of strife, however, and need not be truly "in control" of a group to guide it. Coaches, teachers, and many political figures exemplify the Director Archetype.
Martyr: The Martyr suffers for his cause, enduring his trials out of the belief that his discomfort will ultimately improve others' lot. Some Martyr simply want the attention or sympathy their ordeals engender, while others are sincere in their cause, greeting their opposition with unfaltering faith in their own beliefs. Many Inquisitors, staunch idealists, and outcasts are Martyr Archetypes.
Penitent: The Penitent exists to atone for the grave sin she commits simply by being who she is. Penitents have either low self-esteem or legitimate, traumatic past experiences, and feel compelled to "make up" for inflicting themselves upon the world. Penitent Archetypes aren't always religious in outlook; some truly want to scourge the world of the grief they bring to it. Repentant sinners, persons with low self-esteem, and remorseful criminals are examples of the Penitent Archetype.
All of these quotes, if feel, matches very much with the Calebros I knew from the clan novel saga. Below are also a set quotes detailing Calebros’ inner dialogue in his graphic novel.
“As prince, only I can save them, only I can keep them from looking where they shouldn’t. A force exists underneath this city, sleeping, and it must remain so, lest we all perish.
“Augustin, my sire, left us to investigate the Nictuku, and came back to me with this information. Could this be Gehenna? The Final Nights? When the Ancients awake to devour their errant children? Can it be stopped? Should it be stopped? Everything that is done is a hope of staving off the inevitable. Why?”
“My embrace into this world was a foregone conclusion, made for me by Augustin. It is no different for anyone else. Why then do we not welcome the coming Armageddon? Exchange one world for another. It sounds almost painless, except I would never accept such a course, neither would my fellow Nosferatu. Neither would my fellow Kindred, for that matter.”
He is incredibly contemplative, and determined too, willing to fight against the inevitable apocalypse of the vampires. As long as his clan and the Kindred as a whole does not give up, does not give in the the despair of Gehenna, he too will be willing to fight for the survival of others.
Scene 3: Against a Master Manipulator
The character of Hesha is... complex. I see him as sort of a sweet-talking, cunning, charismatic cult leader. Here is a dialogue between him and Calebros.
“No harm was done,” Hesha said softly, his voice still the slightest bit scratchy from the ordeal he’d undergone. “As you say,” said Calebros, not looking up and continuing to write furiously. “You concede without agreeing.” Hesha laughed quietly. Calebros’s head whipped up. Angry words were ready on his lips, but the Egyptian’s smile was not mocking. The Setite obviously realized the weakness of his position, physically and strategically, as well as the fragility of their alliance. “Candor is important between friends,” Hesha said. “Otherwise, perceived insults take hold and fester.” “I am quite accustomed to festering,” Calebros said curtly. “I fear that I’m growing so as well,” Hesha said, squeezing one of the boils that stood raised about one of his many open wounds until the canker popped, and frothy pus ran down his arm. He laughed quietly again. Calebros punctuated a written sentence with a particularly violent period. “Your woman willfully disobeyed her instructions.” “She exercised discretion,” Hesha countered. “She blatantly disregarded the safety of my people.” “If anything had gone wrong,” Hesha said, “it would be Pauline lying torn on the ground. Your people would have faded into the night, none the worse for wear.” Calebros fumed. Probably Hesha was correct—but the Nosferatu was not about to admit as much. “I will speak with her,” Hesha said reasonably. “She has not encountered those of your clan before. She’s not aware of how strongly your predilection for…” “Cowardice?” Calebros suggested accusingly. “Prudence, I was going to say. She’s not aware of how strongly your predilection for prudence runs.” Good choice of words, Calebros thought. But, then, Hesha always chose his words carefully, always seemed to know just the right thing to say. It was discomforting in a way, how easily the Setite could alleviate tension with just a few words. Go ahead, Eve. Take a bite of the apple. Adam might like some too. But it seemed that they needed one another—and that outweighed their natural and mutual tendencies to distrust one another. Just barely.
Hesha’s actions managed to get under Calebros’ nerves, as seen in his curt speech, his furious writing, his accusatory reply to Hesha. He is angry for the safety of his clan (which, as seen from all the other sources, is something very dear to him). He is even shown to be stubborn, refusing to admit that Hesha was correct. Even still, he keeps his head rather than loose his cool completely. He also realises Hesha’s smooth words for what they are- manipulation. He is willing to compromise and form a sort of alliance with Hesha too, despite of his distrust and personal feelings.
Calebros and Ramona
I found the strange friendship Calebros had with the Gangrel Ramona to be incredibly touching, and tragic due to the turns it took towards the end (which I won’t spoil). Below are some excerpts from the Nosferatu clan novel showing Ramona’s initial meeting with Calebros and his later assessments of her character.
Neither Pauline nor the other girl, Ramona, had been subjected to the full brunt of facing a Nosferatu. Not until now, that is, when they were brought into Calebros’s presence. He did not hide his true appearance from them. And he could read the dismay, the fear and disgust, on their faces. Of the two, Pauline made the worthier attempt, attempt, to maintain her demeanor of professional detachment—perhaps Ruhadze had taught her well. The Gangrel, unsurprisingly, was not so couth. She gawked, both at Calebros and at Hesha in his current condition, and she hid her revulsion quite poorly, if she tried at all. […] Ramona looked at Calebros again, a more measured look this time, trying to see through the deformities. Good girl, Calebros thought. Young and brash, but not stupid.
Ramona reached for a calendar on Calebros’s desk, but tossed it back when she realized it was from 1972. “That’s still a whole month, and nobody knows where Leopold was that whole time. He could have gone back to the cave.” Smart girl, Calebros thought. He was leading her along the same path of reconstructing events that he had followed.
He compliments her intelligence again and again, and seems genuinely fond of her. Which I believe is why, after he became Prince of New York, he allows her a private audience with him to which he offered her a safe passage out of town which she rejects, viewing his actions as a betrayal. Below is an excerpt from what I think is the Clan Brujah novel.
The hunched form stepped forward, leaning heavily against the seatbacks as he came. Ramona kept straining to pick out the sound of broken gasps that must accompany such labored progress, but the air did not stir. "You had requested an audience, my dear. A private audience. I have gone to some pains to secure a place where we might be alone. Privacy is such an indulgence here. All too often, I find myself unable to justify the expense of importing it. And there is always someone else jealous of such decadence. But you have not come to hear of my distractions. Sit here, next to me, and tell me why you have come.”
[…]
“Calebros chuckled low, a sound like an engine turning. "No, I don't imagine you would. I will miss your straightforward style, Ramona. I find it refreshing. But already you know that there is no longer any place for you here. In the midst of battle—against the Sabbat and later, against Leopold and the Eye—we could afford certain marriages of convenience. But these partnerships will not survive the challenges of peacetime. Your associates, Mr. Ruhadze and Mr. Ravana, they found themselves in much the same position. Each has already left New York.”
[…]
“Calebros was silent for a time, letting her wind down. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you with the Eye, Ramona. And I'm sorry you will have to leave us. Believe me, I would like nothing better than to find a place for you here. I will have sore need of people who can be relied upon in the nights ahead. But you know what you would be up against if you remained here— the posturing, the none-too-subtle snubbing, the outright backstabbing. You are a rarity among our kind, Ramona. But because you are different, you will be hated and eventually destroyed if you stay among the society of the damned. Know that I will remember our time together fondly. If I can be of any assistance to you in relocating..." "No, I understand. It's 'thanks for your help; here's your bus ticket.' Well, I don't need any of your favors. I don't like the strings attached to them. And I resent the fact that you think I'm so stupid that I'll let you screw me over and then thank you for it." "Ramona...”
Again, even during his tenure as Prince of New York he is so damn eloquent, I definitely can’t fathom the word fuck ever slipping out of his mouth. He is compassionate, helping Ramona perhaps for future gains too, but mainly I believe he genuinely wants to do something right, give her the happy ending she deserves for once.
Moreover, I have a soft spot for this quote of Calebros pondering about Ramona’s nature, why she’s always so angry at the world, why every word out of her mouth sounds like an accusation. It showcases well his world-weariness, a cynical attitude that hides his concerns for others.
What have you seen that makes you so angry, so bitter, little one? Calebros wondered. Family killed? Have you been betrayed? How many times, I wonder. You’d best get over it, if you hope to survive.
So... yeah. I’d pay money to see an accurate portrayal of Calebros in a newer media otherwise I might have to write my own fanfic pairing my OC with him

I might make a website when I have a solid portfolio but that probably won’t be for awhile. I want to treat this blog as more of a diary than having super formal posts about my wips and stuff. I’ll do wip intros and oc’ intros but I mainly want this account to make writing friends and have accountability for actually finishing projects. I’d love to do monthly check-ins or updates on what i’m reading and writing but we will see how that goes. My fatal flaw is over planning and then not actually writing. I’m my own worst critic and it’s honestly irritating at this point.
My writing flame blew out like two years ago but you didn’t hear it from me. (i.e the well is DRY)
I would introduce my WIPS but it’s been a while since i’ve worked on any of them, they’re all kind of scattered, and i’m trying to rework a large portion of them. I will say I’ve had a lot of ideas and I don’t want to put any off the table so expect my vague ramblings about those. 
I am somehow writing an Among Us fanfic but I’m not mad at it. I swore I wouldn’t tell anyone anything about this until I finished it so I guess you’ll just have to wait and see <3
Most of my wips include plotlines surrounding: coming of age, lgbt/lgbt struggles, mystery, murder/crimes/death??, toxic bitches, and general fantasy
It’ll be a miracle if I ever make an actual wip intro 
Tumblr media
Goals:
read more
write more
make friends
This is my blog so it’s an accepting space of: typos, shitty plots, really overused cliches that make you happy, lots of lgbt’s, unconventional dynamics, not knowing how to use any punctuation whatsoever, overplanning and looking up every single detail and aspect of a time period for a wip OR making shit up and not researching literally anything, being repetitive, and simply making mistakes
Um, that’s pretty much it, I love making friends so don’t be afraid to dm me or anything. I’d love to talk about wips/ideas and anime/manga at literally anytime. I’ll probs make a list of ones that i’m watching and reading and i’m open to recommendations! Thanks for reading!

Please do more of the writing head canons. It’s really interesting to see other people’s ideas on the topic, so if you can be bothered, I would highly appreciate more, thanks bye <3
Y’all don’t know how happy I am to talk about these headcanons, they are my babies and I love them so much :’) thanks for asking g <3
Handwriting Headcanons
Same dynamic as before, try to guess whose handwriting it is before reading and tell me how many you got right! <3
Tumblr media
You can find the first post here (no need to check it tho)
Quick disclaimer: halfway through making my initial notes, I remembered I had one (1) single lesson of graphology in my applied linguistics class, but that was a year ago and some information might be off. I just thought it was neat to include.
Another quick disclaimer: I don’t know much about Hylian, but I like to think it has a similar stroke system to Japanese, so the pressure and accuracy of your strokes play a major role in your handwriting (among other things, ofc.) so there are some parts where I focus more on that
(First Row, from left to right)
Sky
Our first boy is mother hen! Believe it or not, he has the prettiest handwriting out of all of them! Sky: probably has nice, even elegant handwriting because Sun forced him to practice when they were little. In the end, that paid off because his handwriting is the prettiest one. There’s no pressure, but he is confident in what he writes that his lines aren’t thin. Mistakes? what is that? this boy has impeccable grammar and spelling. No mechanic errors to be found in his letters! I’d like to think that many of Hyrule’s classic/staple poems were originally written by the firt king aka sky child. Like, imagine, after a retiring from being a Person of Power (as the first ruler), Sky finds comfort in the arts: revisits his old woodcarvings and starts writing poetry about the world he still doesn’t fully understand. wowie. tldr: sky writes poetry and you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
This is what one of his letters would look like: 
Tumblr media
Next one is the one and only, our Hero of Time
2. Time
I’ll die on the “Time didn’t know how to read and write” hill. His handwriting is simple, not pretty but not messy. It has some grammar and spelling mistakes here and there. Can become unreadable if writing in a hurry, he sorts of forgets spaces between words are a thing/letters have different sizes and lowercase letters end up the same size as capital letters. I’m not saying he sometimes forgets to write articles: he just doesn’t want to. Honestly, he just has this dad-neat handwriting. He is a gentle dad and writes like a dad, if he puts too much pressure onto the paper, his handwriting become too sharp/angle-ish and ends up looking ugly. And as much as he would like to not care about it, in the end he does (:
Malon taught him how to write and it was quite the experience. At first he didn’t want to because he was ‘too old’ to learn and it was torture at first, but now look at him devouring his cowboy novels. 
A chunk of his handwriting: 
Tumblr media
*sniff* such a dad quote.
3. my mansss, your  4x1 deal at Target: Four
Look, my boy is patient! He could do some nice and fancy lettering if he wanted to. He was taught that handwriting and spelling said a whole lot about him as a person, you know, like a first impression kinda thing; so he always proof reads more than twice before sending ­a letter. Super rare grammar mistakes.
The faster he writes, the more slant his writing becomes. Under stress/ when not sure how to write things down, run-on sentences are everywhere and his handwriting is inconsistent in general (I don’t headcanon each part of him having completely different handwriting because handwriting becomes muscle memory over time. It’s just slightly different variations of the same, like idk  Vio’s handwriting is neater than Green’s and Red writes hearts instead of any dot/circle and no, I do not take constructive criticism on that, jk i do.) Adding on to each of the colours’ handwriting, I’d think Red and Green write with words slanted to the right( inclined), Vio is a mix of the opposite, so reclined and straight, and my mans blue a true neutral writes straight (kinda like Time’s).
The logic behind this is that inclined writing supposedly means honesty and need for giving (and getting) affection; reclined means, as you can probably imagine,  defensiveness and repression of true feelings, but also shows great concentration; straight handwriting means self-control, observation and reflection as well as distrust and indifference. But as complete being (tm), Four just writes as in the image example which is not too straight and not too inclined, and I believe that’s a good middle for him
HOWEVER, if I’m feeling in the mood for crack, I totally accept this boy to have the ugliest, chicken scratches-looking handwriting! :’D It’s just funny to think that someone like him, who has to be precise and careful in his work, can't write neatly to save his life. 
One of his letters would look like this: 
Tumblr media
Also I just LOVE how his hero titles look in this font ksksks
Tumblr media
and that’s
(Middle row, from left to right)
4.- Mister Bunny Boy - Legend
His uncle taught him how to write. I’d call his handwriting pretty and neat at a first glance, but he presses too hard on the paper, most of the time staining the back or the following page. Sometimes will retrace some words if he doesn’t like how it looks (which only makes it messier). According to my notes, a thick or strong handwriting represents determination/commitment.
As I also headcanon him to know many languages, mechanical errors are more present than grammar ones; that is, weird capitalisation of words. Punctuation is somewhere in between; uses too many commas when he should just cut the sentence. he mixes punctuation from two languages or more in writing when too distracted (or too focused, because, well, pressure.); when he writes for himself, he has almost no problem following said language’s punctuation rules. Also, this is just polyglot culture, and I’m projecting a bit, but when he forgets a word in the language he’s writing, he just replaces it with its equivalent in another language because we don’t care about fluency, but rather functionality. in this household (more on that in my language hc, ksksks).
An example of his writing:
Tumblr media
so powerful
4.-  Mr. Wolfman, howl me a song - Twilight
I don’t have much for him because 1) I don’t think he writes a lot and 2) he is a hands-on/visual learner, I’ll die by that. He only learnt how to write because Ulli insisted it was important and he was not about to disrespect his momma; he IS That Guy, but doesn’t really write enough to have neat handwriting.
Many people seem to overlook the fact that his house is filled with books and write him as completely illiterate (which if not explored properly, ends up feeling a bit disrespectful and full of prejudice, but go off I guess; and that’s on my core Headcanons for Twi); however, he sticks to simple sentences. Knowing how to read and understanding a text is different from knowing how to write them. Like, when we would see a semicolon and understand its position in the text, but didn’t understand the nature of it. Is this clear? idk i’m sorry. So yeah, boy reads a lot, writes very little.
As for his Actual Handwriting, as opposed to Legend, his handwriting is thiccc but not because he presses into the paper; he is just that messy, he has no sense of ink-flow-control, he does what he can with what he has. To the untrained eye, his handwriting illegible letters like v, n, u are very similar; when he makes notes for himself he does it in the form of doodles or small ‘icons’. But! He reads a lot, so he rarely makes spelling mistakes (: he is your go-to guy when you don’t know how to write a word.
An example of his writing:
Tumblr media
He keeps a journal, sue me.
3. My first born- Warrior
Okay, first off... I accept this is completely biased. I saw the idea and said “That’s True”. If you haven’t, please read Effective Communication; or The Lack of Thereof by htruona, a fic where the boys reflect on the language barriers between them. It’s incredibly funny and probably what made me start making these silly notes. So, if you’ve read that fic, you know where I’m going.
My man, Warrior, can’t fucking write. I mean, he physically can, but it’s very bad. Here’s the reason for it, tho, and it’s not his fault: Technically, he knew how to write alright but he joined the military and whatever note he had to write had to be concise or in the worst case coded. He mixes capital and lowercase letters. If we consider that he joined the military at around 15, his handwriting and grammar had yet to continue developing. Just think about how after summer break, your handwriting was always slightly worse than before because you didn’t write for an entire month. Now think what 2 years can do to that. Hmm, not cool, dude. He makes quick notes, when writing he’s all gotta go fast. he is the lighting mcqueen of writing; good for emergency messages, not ideal for love letters. His punctuation also suffered a lot, he only know full stops and commas and hardly uses them. A sentence for him is either one word or fifty without a single comma, no inbetween.
His hero title and an example of his writing.
Tumblr media
(Bottom row, or what I like to call “fuck cursive” row)
7.- Magic man - Hyrule
I’m basic and I do agree with the popular headcanon of he not knowing how to write because well, y’all know his Hyrule. He only knows how to write his name because that’s important, same with numbers. I don’t see why would he write/read except checking the roadsigns. (he can even use this as an excuse for getting lost frequently; he thought it said something different.) But I do think that because his habitual reading consists of roadsigns, his ‘punctuation’ is weird af and places full stops/points/periods at the same level of his words and his commas/question/exclamation marks below them. Yk, creative license. Sadly, I don’t have much about my magic hands man so here’s what his writing would look like if he actually wrote a paragraph:
Tumblr media
Man, I love Hyrule.
8.- Man, I don’t understand this boy -  Wild
Cursive? ain’t nobody have the time for that. He woke up and had to save the world in his underwear while not knowing how to read nor write.  He learnt during his journey and was taught by multiple people from different regions, that explains his inconsistent spelling of things and names for them. So Wild knows language variations for many items and uses them interchangeably (even if they aren’t exactly the same). Another headcanon related to writing/language skills that I’ve been thinking about is that if the shrine was able to cause amnesia, I’m sure there were other areas in the brain affected which leads us to language disorders such as agraphia and aphasia. But that’s a story for another day ksksksk
An example of his writing (after relearning)
Tumblr media
9.- The best of sons - Wind
I don’t have much for him and that makes me sad. Look, he’s a kid, doing kid things like stabbing dudes on the head. This boy was taught cursive by his grandma, but could never do it and no one needs it anyway. His handwriting is good enough for his pirate life, Tetra is the one to handle Official stuff, he just gotta sign. Spelling and grammar mistakes abound. He is still relatively young and can correct his handwriting if he desires. But same as Wild, with how many times he’s been thrown out and hit his head, I’m starting to consider some language disorder for him as well.
An example of his writing:
Tumblr media
aaand that’s it.
Thanks, y’all for showing interest in this silly thing uwu it was fun to finally talk about this. If you ever want to discuss ideas/headcanons(especially if they are related to language and culture), I’m your person (: I’m always happy to hear new headcanons. Feel free to add anything to this post either in a reply or in a reblog, I’d love to hear from y’all <3<3
