#it's so silly of s concept but I can't wait to make it actually like

[oikasugayama]

How would the BSD men react to you wanting to paint their nails (alignment chart 🙏)

Love it/hate it

Let you/wouldn't let you maybe?

sorry for the wait, but thank you for this request! i needed something silly and fluffy to do <3

When you ask him if you can paint his nails, he gives you a weird look and asks "why?" You respond "just because" or "it'd be cute" and he thinks about it for a moment--maybe needs some convincing--but allows you to.

Jouno (doesn't understand the point--he can't even see it--but you tell him you want to practice and you'll make it super neat and in a lovely shade of red to match his uniform, so he agrees), Akutagawa (needs only your pouting puppy dog face to agree; he acts like he sits begrudgingly, but you see him admirning his black nails for the next few days, and when they chip he tells you he needs a touch-up), Oda (says you can practice on yourself, can't you? but when you say you just wanna see him in nail polish, he says alright, alright, but it has to be something fairly neutral), Sigma (doesn't really have a concept of nails being a decorative thing, so he doesn't even consider paitning them until you ask; he lets you and actually quite likes the soft tone of purple that matches his hair), Ango (sighs and says no, but you press him for a reason why and he can't necessarily come up with one, so when you promise to remove it if he doesn't like it, he allows you, but honestly he doesn't hate it), Fukuzawa (has to think about it for a few moments, but when you ask if he's ever painted his nails he says "no, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try").

When you ask, he either perks up and says yes right away, or after you convince him he becomes really interested.

Nikolai (says YES, and digs through your polish to pick what color he wants), Junichiro (says okay!! :D and asks for a simple black because he's always liked the idea of painting his nails), Poe (realizes he'll get to hold your hand and says yes, and then he actually really likes having his nails black), Atsushi (asks if you really want to do that for him, and is very happy when you enthusiastically says yes!; he also picks out which color he wants and is happy to hold your hands), Tetcho (allows you but only if it's black, and then he quite likes it and how it makes his hands look (and he wants you to match your nails to his)), Dazai (excitedly says yes and picks out an obnoxious pink and shows everyone his lovely nails that his girlfriend did for him), Chuuya (thinks it over, glances through your collection, then allows you to paint his nails black or deep red because it would look cool), Tachihara (similar to Chuuya, thinks about it and looks through your colors then lets you do something dark and moody), Bram (is fascinated by the body-safe paint and lets you paint his nails because it's a fun addition to his outfit; he goes for a deep red or a dark dark purple).

You ask him, and though he seems interested, he ultimately won't let you.

Mori (can't let his subordinates see him like that, and also if he were to need to perform surgery on someone if there were some insane incident it wouldn't be medically sterile for his nails to be painted, or something like that he says), Mushitaro (is willing to let you until he inspects your own nails and sees how messy they are, then he changes his mind because he doesn't want them messy -.-).

You ask him, and he grimaces and says no, for a variety of reasons.

Kunikida (could be convinced if you really, really, really wanted to, but he doesn't want to deal with the paint chipping and the upkeep it would require if he let it happen and ended up liking it), Ranpo (eats with his fingers so often that he absolutely refuses to let you paint his nails because he's heard you complain about the taste/smell of nail polish), Fyodor (lowkey has "traditional values" on some random things and thinks nail polish isn't for him, but also he bites his nails and if he tastes that polish he'll be disgusted), Fukuchi (straight up says no, that's for girls, he's a man and not interested, and also he has shitty beat up nails anyway).

[cubezart]

Hi!! You totally don't know me at all, I'm a complete stranger >:) And I'd love to hear about Jim's mental world!!

HI ok so erm this is mostly just gonna be a mess of rambles and vague ideas smushed together barely in order but

(old/outdated concept sketch, but it's a good start)

for starters, the prime issue(s) to help resolve in his mental world (or this version at least) is jim's fear of burdening his friends and family, and his resistance to reaching out for help, as much as he really needs it. it doesn't get too deep into his trauma, it's just giving jim the push he needs to seek out help again

after jim's recent divorce with bettie, he's been trying to give his family "some space to process" ...which didn't take long to sink back into old self isolation habits. he's been putting his all into his job to repress and distract from everything else going on with him, and it doesn't seem like it'll work for very much longer

first area in his mind is a boring + extremely tiny office room, the other cubicles are all empty and open except for jim's, which has a big metal door attached to the entrance. you can try and talk to him or ask him things, but it won't get you much . he insists he's happier in there really !! its so nice and safe hes fine :) its ok :)

when asked why he's locked in, he'll insist it's for his own safety, saying some vague stuff while the clairvoyance hints become even more obvious. when you use clairvoyance on him, his POV shows the cubicle door and everywhere around it surrounded by nightmares clawing and staring at him from the other side. (something something these are all just his own perception of things and he's really not in danger)

afterwards, his dialogue tree gets pretty short and limited, leaving raz to explore !! there's a few doors you can interact with, one being just a simple archetype-required door with a little collectible or somethin. the other is an old n dusty storage closet filled with memory vaults piling up to the ceiling. you can't really interact with any of those individually, (maybe some raz line along the lines of "i can't punch through all those :( ") but there's one or two real ones that just seem to have completely mundane and normal memories inside. weird! cuz with cpstd n trauma memory loss/repression, it can repress a lot more than what's necessary

there's one last door to try, leading out into the next phase ! raz says goodbye to jim, and jim happily waves back as the door shuts n locks behind raz, and the hallway distorts and extends, distancing raz away too :( sorta like the effect in the pn2 office construct !! im taking a lot of inspo from that world tbh heehe except for the obvious yknow. dental stuff

the next phase is kind of a messy stub for now, still sorting n planning out everything in my head lol but it's called Jim's Judgement

it centers more around jim's trauma and Issues TM and a lot of it is more vague concepts than any real gameplay ideas for the more dark story elements bc i don't want raz to have to see that and like to think after raz gets him a head start, he gets into actual professional Psychonauts therapy (and for my own silly oc/canon interaction fun, its sasha and milla assigned to help him. perhaps. maybe. they almost assigned oleander but he yelled too much and scared him away /hj) ANYWAY!!

all that being said i honestly have 0 ideas how to tone shit down for raz and im still trying to plan out the smaller in-game per se variation on it so i will simply. wait to talk about it. there's a lot of cool symbolism and motifs i prommy i swear </3 but the main "boss fight" final moment thing surrounds his whole paranoia of being a horrible person who others only tolerate + he constantly has to "make up for it" by putting everything and everyone Before him. i really wanna end it back in the small office space with jim having the key on his desk this whole time, making it literally In His Hands to get himself out. he just needed the support! he's definitely scared and slow, but he opens the door and steps out of his cubicle. the room grows a little bit. its a start

i was gonna ramble more about the darker version of the second phase but this post is already gettin Long and kinda incoherent i think so ermm. ill split it off into a second post probably if anyones interested in hearing more . i hope this all made sense lol i have too many thoughts about him to keep together honestly

[blue-howlite]

May I request doom breaker (anyone of your choosing, especially my husband Ned) b3ing constantly teased by their S/O. Who is teasing them because they know they are busy and can't do anything till they are free

He's such a silly guy! I love him too and am very biased towards him. Also the concept sounds so fun (for the one teasing, the one being teased will have fun later).

Teasing them

Doom breaker headcanons

Feat. Ned, Altair, Fade, Dariel.

Warnings: prob ooc, NSFW implied although nothing too heavy, reader being a bit of a brat tbh.

Author's note: nothing much to say, I just love messing with these guys and how they would react to different situations. And I'll work on Ned's alphabet I promise I'm sorry...

Ned

The gentle and easily flustered man.

He's a very patient person.

He can mistake a few subtle touches for accidents or simple affection, and won't be very bothered by them.

When you kiss his neck it becomes unmistakable though, you're teasing him.

He tries focusing on the task at hand, knowing that he can't just leave everything and take you somewhere private.

When your teasing continues, he starts physically pushing you away. He has restraint, sure, but it would be easier without your hands on him.

He might use the stealth bracelet just to avoid your teasing after a while, especially when he gets a boner and needs to hide it from not only you but anyone who could be around.

His solution to badly timed arousal is basically hiding from you. Which he greatly dislikes.

However he does finish the task quicker.

You're in for a fun time once he's done with his work because he's going to find you with the stealth bracelet still on himself and give you a taste of your own medicine.

Before dragging you to a more reserved place where he can actually give you a taste.

Altair

She's the menace, she does the teasing.

She can sense you're thinking of teasing her from the first touch.

Will she allow it?

Not really.

Since she can tell your intentions even before you actually do anything, she decides to get an early start and be the one to tease you.

Little touches that aren't so subtle, kisses a bit too close to your sensitive spots, even showing her body and moving in a way meant to tease you.

Of course things will end up in bed, but she will give you a run for it.

She still has work to do after all!

She'll purposefully keep herself busy with tasks while teasing you only to make you more impatient.

Will you regret teasing her?

Not really, the princess knows how to reward you after waiting so much for her to finish her tasks.

But might make you wait some more for the final reward... You were so patient until now, what's a few more moments?

Fade

Can't miss teasing the feral cat.

Is it a good idea? Depends on your definition of good idea.

At first he's very straightforward and tells you to "knock it off", even though you think you're being subtle he can tell at the third time you accidentally caress his thigh.

He doesn't like distractions while he's working and won't get particularly aroused by your attempts to tease him.

Unless you whimper in his ear. That gets him really turned on, almost instantly.

His reaction is pulling you on his lap. You caused him a boner, so take the responsibility of hiding it while he works.

You're his prisoner now. He's keeping you there with a hand, while the other writes or works with poisons. You have stuff to do? Should have thought about it before teasing him.

If you try teasing him some more he bites you. Your hands, your lips, your neck. Just chomps whatever he can until he's done with his task.

Gets veeeery sadistic in bed when he has to let out all that pent up energy and arousal you caused him. Expect to be bullied a lot.

Dariel

The little puppy. Our baby boy.

He's pretty calm about your teasing to be honest, if anything he'll calmly scold you for being indecent while he's busy. Very controlled man and even though he might get a bit aroused he won't feel the need to act on it.

Sitting on his lap and wiggling around? He'll keep your hips still with one hand while lecturing you about manners and timing.

Caressing his inner thigh? He just takes your hand, kisses the back of it and asks you to wait.

Kissing his neck? He'll chuckle and tell you that this is not the right time, he's got things to do.

But if you kiss the palm of his hand, for some reason that really gets him. Is it the intimacy of the act? Is it because it's a part of him that is usually holding a weapon, yet you're kissing so gently?

That really gets him and he shows it.

He gets a bit more soft and gentle when asking you to wait until he's done, because he doesn't really want to wait.

Might, and I say might, kiss your face as a way to let out some of his energy.

He slowly goes from the task at hand from finding a private place for some alone time with you.

[imagine-knb]

Welcome back Neon! I’ve actually come back to Tumblr semi-recently as well for about the same period of time. I’m getting back into fandom content and it’s been really fun reclaiming a part of my life back! I hope you have fun returning back here like me :)

Other than KnB, has there been any other series you’ve gotten into while you’ve been away? ☺️

Thank you! I'm really glad to be back! ヾ(☆▽☆) I've been having a lot of fun rediscovering old and new fandoms to follow on Tumblr. Like you said, I feel like I'm reclaiming a part of myself that I had shelved for years.

As for what I've currently been into, I'll post that under the cut! I kind of went overboard again and typed a lot.

Here are some fandoms that I've recently entered! You can basically thank these fandoms for me returning to Tumblr. σ(*´∀｀*)

My Hero Academia

This isn't a new anime in the slightest, considering its multiple seasons, but it's new to me. I watched it years ago with my ex, but only got halfway through season 2. Now I'm rewatching it with my bestie and my current partner, having a blast with it! I forgot how funny season 1 was! Favorite Character(s): Kirishima Eijiro, Bakugo Katsuki

Sk8 the Infinity

I once saw an ad for Sk8 on YouTube and ever since then, I have been hooked! I really hope season 2 will come out, because I need more Reki in my life. Please someone talk to me about Sk8 because I love those boys so much. I need it like I need air. Favorite Character: Kyan Reki Fun Fact: I'm currently working on a multi-chapter fic that's Reki x OC and it's gunna be so sweet and fluffy because that boy deserves the world. (˃��̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )

Food Wars

I literally just finished watching the final season not to long ago! I hated the animation, but the story was so good! I felt like the last season was just a little silly, but it wrapped up the story quite nicely. Favorite Character(s): Yukihira Souma, Hayama Akira, Tadokoro Megumi

Welcome Home

This was the first fandom I entered when I came back to Tumblr! I thought the concept was so spooky and interesting, so I just fell into the hole that is Welcome Home. I find all the AUs people are making for it so creative too, but I really can't wait to figure out the real story behind it. Favorite Character: Wally Darling Favorite AU: Killer!AU

Stardew Valley

Okay, so I owned this game for literal years, but I never played it because it was gifted to me by my ex (never let an ex ruin your fun, kids). Then one day my friends asked me to play a multiplayer savefile and. I. Got. Hooked. Now I'm already planning on starting my third, personal modded save and with Update 1.6 sneak-previewed, I can not wait to play again! Favorite Character(s): Shane, Sebastian Fun Fact: It's thanks to Stardew that I started writing again. I'm going to shamelessly self-promote, so here (or here) is where you can find the fics I've been writing recently.

And that's really about it. Other than that, I've been slowly easing my way back into old fandoms I was a part of like Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu!!.

[batwritings]

So I did end up having to restart the roof. Hnnnnn-

But back to what I actually came here for lol

I was sitting in one of my classes, and a random idea came to my mind (And also for some reason prompted me to draw OSMP Ranboo, but that’s unimportant)

It’s just- Eret- (no surprises there, I know) But with a magician S/o- But like- Actual- MaGic—

I know that makes no real sense, so let me explain

S/O is- actually- Magical- But just like- Poses as a human magician- To make people smile, and laugh-

And now I’m just wondering how the hell she’d even react to learning ‘Oh shit, my lover is not a human being’

It’s 22:02 at night, and I’m tired- So this makes no sense- So sorry about that :D

🇬🇧✨

This actually makes more sense than you'd think :D I think I can work with this, we'll see lol Enjoy~!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eret always knew that not all things were as they seemed in this world. Her own lineage was proof enough of that, let alone the people she had met in not only travels but his time on the SMP. But you...you were the last person he expected that from.

You had tried your best to keep it from everyone you knew. It wasn't for lack of wanting, quite the contrary even. Especially the closer you got to people, the more you wanted to tell them that you weren't just some ordinary human magician. It wasn't all just the lights and glamor of the stage that was behind what you were capable of.

Most specifically, you wanted Eret to know, so bad. She of all people surely could understand the concept of what exactly you were, the magic that coursed through your veins. But you couldn't; your fear of what could happen to you, the people who had tried to hunt you down for being what you are in the past kept your lips sealed.

It was supposed to be a simple trick; offering roses to the king of the SMP. "Here you are my beloved," you chuckled, making the flowers blossom forth in your hand with minimal effort. Eret smiled brightly, taking the bouquet from you with thanks.

Pain hit you then, one of the thorns nicking your palm. Realization hit you quickly as you covered your wounded skin. "Are you alright?" she asked, clearly concerned. "Do you need that cleaned up? It wouldn't do you well to get an infection."

'I can't get infections silly,' you thought with a fond smile. "I'm okay," you offered quickly. "Just need to get a bandage on it and I'll be fine."

Sadly for you, Eret was a persistent person when it came to those they cared about. "Really, I insist," they said, gently setting down the flowers and taking your hand in his. "Let me at least see darling."

Your eyes were scared, worried of what the reaction you'd get was as you let your sleeve be moved away from the wound. What was meant to be blood shimmered and glistened, a fabulous gold replacing what would normally be there for a standard human. Calloused fingertips touched around your cut, curiosity coating Eret's features.

"You're not human," she states plainly, lacking the even the slightest hint of disgust or greed you'd become accustomed to. You opened your eyes to meet her solid white ones, a sad smile on your face. "You never were, were you?"

You shook your head as Eret still tended to your wound. Once you were properly cleaned up, a royal red handkerchief wrapped around your palm, the queen sat you on her bed between her legs. You leaned back, your head resting against his stomach as he played with your hair.

Question after question fell from the king's lips; what are you? What exactly can you do? Why didn't you say something sooner? All questions you answered as best you could, waiting for even a hint of disdain in their deep, soothing voice.

"Well, this is quite the turn of event," Eret chuckled. He tilted your head up to make eye contact with you again. "But that doesn't change how much I love you. You're still my precious partner."

Your eyes lit up at her sweet, sweet words, the magic in your veins practically buzzing with delight. You were all too ready for this relationship you'd worked so hard on to end the moment your secret got out. You flipped yourself around and couldn't help but kiss Eret's entire face.

With Eret, you knew you would be safe.

I don't understand how the Create Idol game thing ranks your trainees bc one time I sent a trainee they got C rank and then I sent them again and they got B rank and then I sent them again and they got C rank again. And sometimes the actual skill level of the trainee means nothing bc you'll see a D rank trainee in the finale and an at least S level trainee out in the first round. And even when my trainee was placed in the B rank, the other trainee I had in the competition was consistently placing higher than them in general so idk

And I've never had a trainee make the final lineup bc even though I've had trainees make it to the finale, I don't have enough high ranking clothes for the concept round to do anything and even if you get the most hearts, you still rank last bc of the level of the clothes. So the closest I've gotten a trainee is being I think number 7.

And I mean, I've only been playing for like 2 weeks (but I got so engrossed I've played for days and I'm at 22 in game years already (it's real easy when you do a quick schedule though). And I've not spent any real money, so obviously building up a "high level wardrobe" for my idols & trainees is going to take time. But, yeah. I feel like that the's only reason I can't get a trainee into the Create group.

But, I keep playing the Create Idol even though it frustrates me bc it's something to do and also getting 100 (I think) trainees get "out" is how you unlock the "silly" production theme so yeah

Oh, the game is Monthly Entertainment, btw. Realized I didn't say that lol

I have 5 "groups" 2 groups, 1 solo, 1 band, and 1 unit lol

And sorta plans for a couple more but I'm waiting for the trainees to be top notch bc my first debuted "groups" were not, they've all been working their way up, but, yeah. (also literally only been playing for 2 weeks so I've got time and shouldn't just rush everything right? Lol)

Thinking about how, as a (newbie) DM and an (amateur) writer, I, in my horror campaign, get to turn snow cones and the act of giving someone a snow cone into a overarching thematic element for my warlock player’s storyline.

[soyouthinkucanwrite]

July 2nd - Daniel Ricciardo

Based on New Year's Day by Taylor Swift and this request by @spikejonzed

Fluffly, mentions of sex, banter, nothing graphic.

BTW, I don't know how I've never paid attention to this song, it's so so beautiful and honest. I've thought about this concept before though: the "Sunday afternoon effect", when all the excitement of the weekend wears off and you're just hanging out with your friends, laughing about silly stuff, or cleaning up the house after the party. The thing is, the friends that stay till then are the ones you wanna hold on to, and the same goes for lovers. I feel kind of bad... well not BAD but you know, must be hard... when you're famous and rich, to recognize the good ones from the beginning before you give yourself too much away and it's too late.

To be honest with you guys, I think Daniel must feel a bit lonely sometimes. We all do, but to think that people are only interested in you for your fame and money must be tough... something you worked so hard, that you keep dedicating your life to, to think that that thing is the reason for your heartbreak, to your loneliness... It's a two-edged sword, isn't it? Anyway, I wrote this little something with Daniel in mind, hope you guys like it. Hope he finds someone to be like this someday. Hell, hope I find someone to be like this someday. I think everyone deserves that.

Daniel woke up in his bed, no shoes, but jeans and party shirt still on. The light coming through the windows, shining directly on his face, threatening to make his headache even worse. He let out a groan and turned to the side. There's someone on his bed with him. Shit. He just remembered. Last night was the first time he was introducing (y/n) to his friends. His birthday "small get together" (or at least that's what it was supposed to be) was the perfect opportunity for testing the waters and giving the "next step" without making too much fuss about it, after all, they've only been going out for a couple months and with his tight schedule it meant a lot of facetime calls and weekends, but almost no weekdays and routine stuff.

Yet, he was absolutely smitten with her, she was fun and easygoing, passionate about her own work and friends, but still caring and interested in him. They had amazing chemistry, mind-blowing even. But Daniel had lived enough to know that hanging out with someone on the weekends and knowing their best side was one thing, living through daily and mundane stuff was a completely different thing. Where this could go was still a mystery to him and he didn't want to raise too many expectations before he was sure. Still, she looked so beautiful sleeping, a true vision. He tried to remember if something had happened last night, but judging by his clothes still on, and hers as well, he guessed not. As if on cue, she smiled, with her eyes still closed.

"Stop being creepy" she said smiling. "I can feel you watching me sleep"

"You're not even asleep anymore" he smiled and she opened her eyes. He was taken back by her eyes staring directly into his.

"Still creepy though" she laughed, getting closer to him. He held her and they stayed like that for a while.

"Are you ok?" he asked her.

"What do you mean?

"Aren't you hungover, or sick?" he asked again and she laughed.

"Not at all. I have this really weird superpower, you know, I don't get hungover. Ever, actually" she laughed.

"I don't believe you. I have the headache"

"No, it's true. We did drink a lot yesterday, though" she commented.

"Yeah, well, welcome to having Australian friends. No such thing as light drinking with those guys" he laughed but grimaced at the pain in his brain.

"I'll get you something"

"Huh?"

"For the pain" she explained getting up from the bed.

After a while she returned with a pill and a glass of water, passing them to him.

"Thank you, baby" he took the glass, finishing it. "Come back to bed now"

"Your house... like, I'm not even sure if I should tell you to take a look or just pack your essentials and abandon it" she smiled.

"Uhh" he groaned. "I'll call someone later"

"Like a constructor with a wrecking ball?" she laughed.

"It can't be that bad"

"It's bad" she started. "But we can manage it" He looked at her intrigued. "After a shower" she pulled his hand. "Join me?"

"If I ever say no to that question, just put me in an asylum" he said. "I need a kiss though, as motivation" he smirked.

"Noo... I have morning breath"

"What? Me too" he said pulling her down and kissing her anyway. "Uh, no. You're right. Yours is worst" he said laughing while getting up and walking into the bathroom.

"Asshole!" she laughed following him.

They stripped and got into the shower, taking turns in letting the water run through their bodies.

"Come here" Daniel said, putting some body wash in his hands and spreading them over (y/n) body.

"Hum... this feels nice" she said.

"You're so beautiful" he said kissing her shoulder.

"You're so wasted" she laughed lightly.

"Hey! I'm sober. I'm just too tired. Give me a couple hours to recover, and I'll claim my birthday privileges"

"Birthday privileges? It's not even your birthday anymore" she laughed.

"Okay, but first, it's the weekend of, and second, I didn't get any time alone with you yesterday"

"Fair. And what will be your requests, may I ask?" she asked teasingly.

"Humm... you're so creative" he said kissing her. "I'm sure we'll think of something"

They finished the shower after a while, enjoying each other's company and the comfortable silence.

"Did anyone crashed here?" (y/n) asked when they were stepping out of the shower.

"I have no idea" Daniel answered. "I just remembered going to take a nap and waking up this morning. Shit, we didn't... did we?" (y/n) laughed out loud at that.

"Wow! Really, Dan?"

"We did not. I would've remembered"

"Good save. Such a gentleman" she laughed.

"I drank way too much. Sorry. Don't be mad"

"It's fine. I'm messing with you, I don't remember anything either. To be honest, I don't even remember joining you on your 'nap'" she said making air quotes.

"We're the worst hosts" he said getting out of the bathroom and going into the closet to get some clothes.

(y/n)'s heart swelled at the thought of hosting a party with Daniel. There was something so intimate about that statement, so homey.

"You want a shirt?" Daniel asked from the other room, waking her up from her daydream.

"Yeah, sure" she took the shirt, some underwear, and some sweats. Then brushed her wet hair and looked in the mirror. Not a trace of makeup left. She sighed thinking about how falling into a routine with Daniel meant letting the barriers down.

"Alright, snap out of it" she said to herself, getting out of the bathroom and walking outside, to the living room where Daniel was standing rubbing his neck and looking around.

"This is bad" he said when he saw her joining him. There were empty beer bottles and cups all around the living room and balcony, pizza boxes (with half-eaten slices left behind) in the coffee table, party decorations hanging from the ceiling, and the kitchen was even worse, with liquid spilled on the ground and bottles everywhere. There was glitter all over the floor and the couch - someone had brought some of those party poppers, which looked so much fun yesterday, but no so much now. But the best part was the polaroids, left all over the house with the craziest poses.

"Pack your stuff, we're deserting this goddam hellhole" he said and she knew he was joking, he said that about everywhere, but she still shook her head and rolled her eyes, picking a polaroid photo from the ground.

"Everyone had so much fun" she showed it to him. "I loved meeting your friends"

He took the photo from her hand, it was one where (y/n) was sitting on the couch with two of his buddies from Australia, making funny faces while holding cups. He remembered the moment because he was the one who took the photo.

"How's the headache?" she asked him.

"Almost gone"

"Good. So you don't have an excuse. Move your ass, where are the trash bags?" she laughed going into the kitchen.

"Hey! That was very sneak of you" he laughed but followed her anyway.

They spent the next hour collecting bottles, vacuuming glitter, and just cleaning the whole house. Daniel complained the whole time, but in truth, he was very glad to have her there. Sure, he could just ignore the whole mess and hire someone on Monday to clean everything (he probably would still do that anyway, for the heavy cleaning like bathrooms), but it was really nice of her to just stick around, seeming unbothered by the housework. When she finished tying the last trash bag and putting it on the entry hallway she flopped on the couch besides Daniel, who had called it a day some good 10 minutes ago.

"Done?" he asked her.

"I feel like punching you for asking me that" she answered playing annoyed. He lifted his hand in defense.

"What? I did my part!"

"Men" she shook her head. "I'm surprised you haven't complained about being hungry yet"

"Well, I'm starving! Was just waiting to suggest going out, or ordering in"

"Ordering in, please. I don't want to get off this couch any time soon"

Daniel got his phone out to order some food. It was almost noon, so he thought about something like pasta, some carbs would be nice right now. Then he felt (y/n)'s head drop on his shoulder, her hand caressing his arm. It was such a sweet gesture, so understated, he just stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

"What?" she looked at him.

"I'm really glad you're here. Thank you"

"It's nothing" she smiled.

"I don't mean the cleaning. Well, that too. But just, thank you for being you and wanting to hang out with me, you know, after the party"

"I'll always wanna hang out with you, partying or cleaning bottles" she said and leaned in to kiss him. "Happy birthday old man" this made him smile through the kiss.

"Thank you, young lady" he said still smiling. "Let's feed you now, yeah?"

"Please! Let's get some carbs on this house!" she smile.

"Hey, guys!" (y/n) and Daniel looked up to see Luke, one of Daniel's buddies walking out of the guest bedroom.

"Dude! I didn't know you were here" Daniel laughed.

"Yeah, just woke up. Definitely wasn't hiding in the bedroom waiting for the cleaning end to get out" he grinned making (y/n) and Daniel laugh.

"You know what? Just for that, you're going downstairs to pick up the food when it gets here, and taking out the trash!" (y/n) teased him, tossing a pillow from the couch at him.

Daniel just observed while his friend and his girlfriend joked and laughed. He thought about how right now he was enjoying a feeling of contempt that wasn't really natural or much appreciated by professional athletes, but this time felt right to indulge in it. He felt safe like someone's got him, finally. He took (y/n) hand on his and squeezed it three times, he knew this was already a good thing, something to last. She looked at him, she knew exactly what he meant.

💋— kissing

Absolutely freaking awful at it. Bad. Just plain ol' bad. She has never kissed anyone in her life so she just?? doesn't know how kissing works? First of all the concept of platonic kisses (cheek, forehead, etc.) doesn't really exist in her and the very few people she's acquainted with enough to have received any of those can tell that she's just. Nervous and anxious and anything but comfortable so she’s always at the receiving end.

Nowww romantic kisses is where it is at. Ryo is currently 18 years old and firmly believes that pressing your lips against someone else's already counts as a kiss per se so she's like. "Oh, I can do that". "It can't be too hard!". WRONG. She can't even do that. She has never ever kissed anyone so I’m confident on her first kiss being an absolute mess because she’s just genuinely confused. No one told her there’s so much stuff in kisses? Wait wait you mean there’s more than just like. Pressing your lips against your s/o’s?

Someone save this innocent creature lol

💃— dancing

Answered here!

🍼 — taking care of children

I think it would depend a lot of the kid but she would probably struggle quite a bit at first. Kids are really honest and straightforward and she's not the best when it comes to keeping people entertained either. But! I think she would make a really good big sister with a bit of practice. Putting aside all the confusion at the beginning because *holds kid* what do I do with this I don’t want to deal with this as soon as the learns the ropes then it’s done! She might be a bit on the strict side because that’s what she was raised in but I feel it wouldn’t be too hard for them to get on her doting side either. After all, she knows what growing up in that kind of environment does to you in the long run so she wants to be a good influence, somehow. She doesn't have much patience, though :')

💌 — romance/flirting

On a follow up to the kissing one, you can already guess my answer: in a 1 to 10 scale she's at a glorious -1. Can't flirt even if her life depended on it, even if her actual soulmate showed up on her doorstep she would go ???. It just. It's bad, really really bad. It takes her ages to realize she might have romantic feelings for someone and when she does she just... doesn’t act on it. It’s not like she’s expecting the other part to do something either but rather this feeling of “What we have now is good enough for me, so what’s the point of trying further”.

She’s bad at complimenting people too. Shang Li’s “You fight good” sounds to her like a proper compliment and,, no. Please no don’t flirt like that just don’t. I think that the only chance you might get at seeing Ryo try to flirt properly is getting told she can’t flirt. Especially by her partner. Do go with a "You don't flirt because you don't know how to flirt lol" to her and she will try. Whether it's good flirting or (not nearly as) bad flirting really depends on. A lot of factors. Including whether her brain has registered that she is indeed flirting and wow isn't she like. Too close to the other person. Suddenly her heart starts beating a bit too fast and as soon as blush hits her cheeks, it's game over and she'll die out of embarrassment and anger over being embarrassed by something so silly.

Ryo is more of an accidental flirting with people. Every once in a blue moon she will say something genuinely nice to another person and when asked about it the answer usually goes along the lines of "Because you're important to me" / "Because I care for you" as she stares intently at them in an absolutely accidental romantic setting and doesn't realize a thing about what she just did. Absolutely fucking dense as long as she enjoys being next to the other person.

LwD 1.10, “No Small Parts”

Well, that was the most fun I've had watching Star Trek in literally a quarter of a century.

I had high hopes for this series. I love TAS, largely because of its wacky outsized concepts that could only have worked in animation—not that they all did work, but the potential was so apparent to me, even as a kid reading the Alan Dean Foster novelizations—and as an adult, there's something about the imagination of Lower Decks's FX setpieces that transcends even the glorious CGI bonanzas of Discovery.

Pause for a confession. I've long pushed back against criticism of serialization in new Trek. That's just how TV is now, okay? Might as well complain about it being in widescreen. But I'm backing down a little, because I've realized there is something about Star Trek that's inextricable from at least a partially-episodic format. And while Picard was telling a different kind of story, I can't deny that my favourite episodes of Disco have been the ones with a mostly self-contained A-plot. After 10 delightfully episodic instalments of LwD, its focus on long-term development of characters instead of a season-spanning puzzle-plot (okay, mostly just Mariner, but we only have 10 × 22 minutes and she is the star) has been downright refreshing.

So here we are, at the end of the most consistent and well-executed Season 1 of a Star Trek series since, arguably, Those Old Scientists. And sure, if they'd had to produce another... yikes, 42 episodes? Then sure, they probably would have dropped a clunker or two—but they didn't, and winning on a technicality is still winning. I'm practically vibrating with excitement for Disco to come back next week, but damn, I'm going to miss this little show while it's on hiatus.

Spoilers below:

Something I've been keeping track of finally paid off this week! (Which never happens to me, lol.) The destruction of the USS Solvang marked the first present-day death(s) of any Starfleet officer on Lower Decks, the only other on-screen killing at all being a flashback in "Cupid's Errant Arrow". Which makes sense, being (a) a comedy, and (b) about typically "expendable" characters: it hasn't been afraid to flirt with a little darkness here and there, but killing people off at Star Trek's usual pace wouldn't just be wrong for the tone, it would be downright bizarre.

But... people die on Star Trek. That's one of the core themes of the show, really: space is full of knowledge and beauty, but also danger and terror, and believing that the former is worth the risk of the latter is (according to Trek) one of humanity's most noble traits. I'm the least bloodthirsty TV watcher I know, but the longer we went with a body count of nil—ships completely evacuated before they were destroyed, main characters hilariously maimed without permanent consequences, etc.—well, I didn't mind per se, but the absence of truly deadly stakes was definitely getting conspicuous.

Turns out they were saving it up for maximum impact. And holy fuck, I've never felt such a pit in my stomach watching a ship get destroyed that wasn't named Enterprise. It felt grim and brutal and somehow both much too quick and dreadfully inevitable—and yeah, it looked extremely fucking cool—and I'd like every other Star Trek property for the rest of time to take notes under a large bold heading labeled RESTRAINT.

Comedy doesn't need to do this, but my favourite comedy does, and in a way that few other art forms can even approach: lower my emotional defences by making me laugh, endear character(s) to me with goofy-but-relatable antics—then BAM, sucker-punch me in the motherfucking feels. M*A*S*H is probably the classic example on TV, Futurama was notorious for it, and even Archer has pulled it off a few times; it's also a staple of some of my favourite standup. I wasn't sure if Lower Decks was going to go there in Season 1—and wasn't sure if they'd earn it—but I knew if they did, that they'd nail it, and damn. Feels good to be right.

Last batch of notes for the season!!! I rambled enough already, so let's do it liveblog-style:

I fucking KNEW they were going to use "archive" visuals from TAS at some point, I KNEW IT :D

"THOSE OLD SCIENTISTS" ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I like chill and confident Boimler a lot? You can really see—

oh bRADWARD NOOOOO

That opening shot of the Solvang tracking down to the red giant was extremely Discovery-esque... minus the motion sickness, that is

A lady captain AND a lady first officer? That's—oh hey, it's Captain Dayton's brand-new ship. Hahaha, that means they're totally fucked, right?.

Yep! They sure a—umm, wh—shit, okay, but—oh no—no, you can't—wait DON'T

...fuck

FUCK.

Narrator: "And then Amy needed a five-hour break."

[live-action Star Trek showrunner voice] "Gee, Mike! Why does CBS let you have two cold opens?"

Okay, yes, the bit with Rutherford cycling through all the different attitudes in his implant was transparently an excuse for Eugene Cardero to vamp while waiting for something to do in the story, but as far as I'm concerned they can contrive a reason for him to do a bunch of different silly Rutherfords in a row any time they damn well want, because that was classic!!!

EXOCOMP EXOCOMP EXOCOMP EXOCOMP

AND THE EXOCOMP IS PAINTED LIKE THE EXOCOMP IS WEARING A LITTLE EXOCOMP-SIZED STARFLEET UNIFORM

EXOCOMP!!!!!

The slow burn and now the payoff of the Mariner-is-Freeman's-secret-daughter plot has been executed so well. I'm beyond impressed with this writer's room, y'all—they are threading a hell of a needle here

"Wolf 359 was an inside job" would have been a spit-take if I'd had anything in my mouth

...how many memos do you think Starfleet Command has had to issue asking people to stop calling the USS Sacramento "the Sac"?

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'VE DECORATED THE SHUTTLECRAFT SEQUOIA THOUGH

Is, uh, is it weird if I'm starting to ship Tendi and Peanut Hamper a little? It is weird, isn't it. I knew it was weird...

Coital barbs??? I take back everything I said about wanting to know more about Shaxs/T'Ana.

The "good officer" version of Mariner is... kind of hot, tbh! But Tawny Newsome has done such a great job of building this character all season that her voice getting uncharacteristically clipped and martial and "sir! yes, sir!" is also deeply, deeply weird

Ah, so this is literally exactly like when TNG (and DS9) would bring in, and then blow up, a never-before-seen Galaxy-class ship, just to underscore that we're facing a real threat this week, baby. And hey, it fucking worked—my heart was in my throat, omg, for the reveal of the—

PAKLEDS?????????

The fucking PAKLEDS have been gluing weapons to their ships for the last 15 years. GREAT.

(We interrupt the SHIP BEING SLICED INTO SCRAP for an interesting bit of world-building: on Earth, the traditional First Contact Day meal is salmon!)

"I need a dangerous, half-baked solution that breaks Starfleet codes and totally pisses me off! That's an order." I'm starting to think Captain Freeman might actually be overqualified for the Cerritos, y'all—she's REALLY awesome

OH SHIT IT'S BADGEY, this is a TERRIBLE IDEA

"How much contraband have you hidden on my ship?" "I don't know! A lot!"

Awwww, Boims!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, FUCK THIS, PEANUT HAMPER OUT

BADGEY NOOOOO

AUGHHHHH WHAT THE CHRIST DID HE JUST—BUT—RUTHERFORD'S IMPLANT????

RUTHERFORD!!!!!!!!!!

SHAXS!!!!!!

F U C K ! ! ! ! !

ahaIOPugdfhagntpgjrq90e5mgu90qe5;oigoqgw4ouegrw5SP;IAEHURVa IT’S THE TITAN???????????

IT'S CAPTAIN WILLIAM T. RIKER ON THE MOTHERFUCKING TITAN??????????

i'm screaming I'M SCREAMINGGGGGG​TGGGTGQER;​LBHAOIBVNV;​OAPBIJNVagr;h;​oagruipuwtnaetbaetgq35ghqet

I'M SO GLAD THIS WASN'T SPOILED FOR ME WTF

I AM WEEPING LIKE A CHILD

...

(Just a brief 20-minute pause this time)

And oh wow, seeing Will and Deanna hits different after Picard too, in a few different ways, which I may even get into later now that my heartrate is back to normal, lmao

Oh, I am always here for some jokes at the expense of the Sovereign class. The Enterprise-E sucked. They should have built a new bigger model of the D and new Galaxy-class interiors for the TNG movies, and I will die on that hill

OKAY, FINE, YOU GOT ME, RUTHERFORD × TENDI WOULD BE ADORABLE AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD SETUP FOR IT

Awwww, Shaxs though :( Congrats on the single most badass death in Star Trek history, dude. The Prophets would—well, the actual Prophets would probably be slightly confused about most of it, but Kira Nerys would be proud of you and I feel like that probably counts for more. RIP, Papa Bear

I am here all damn DAY for the Mariner–Riker parallels, ahahahahaha

Pausing it to record my prediction that Boimler's commitment to not caring about rank anymore is going to last 3... 2...

Yep.

Bradward, how DARE YOU.

"Those guys had a long road, getting from there to here." OH FOR THE LOVE OF—

What a brilliant way to resolve and renew the various character arcs and relationships moving into Season 2! The writers could easily have brought everything back to status quo—chaotic Mariner fighting with her mom and being a bad influence on Boimler, etc.—and done another 10 just like these, but I suspect that wouldn't have been ambitious enough for these writers. What a blast. I cannot wait for more.

Thanks for following along, friends! Stay tuned for my (similarly patchy and amateur) coverage of Discovery, starting next week!

[159potterhead]

Where do you stand on marriage thing? Coz if not relationship then arrange marriage it is? I'm not really a fan marriage thing. And also I've never been love with a real person so I had hard time wrapping my head around this whole concept.

***

Yay you had crush🤩🤩 idk why but I'm so happy 😂😂😍😍 You can tell if you relate to things based on the crush. It's okay.

And I think I'm losing you, so to be more clear, in last ask I talked about some things that happen when “a person” is in love (those things/symptoms happens to any person in general who's in love coz our brain is wired in that way so we experience these things when we are in love) So instead of putting “person heart rate will spike” OR “person throat will dry,” I have used the word “you�� over there. (I hope you are getting where I'm headed) And I'm not saying that "you went into a panic attack" OR "you have OCD" those are just some symptoms that “Any person” with OCD and anxiety experience and those things also occurs to “A PERSON" who is falling in love. So in short “someone” normal (a completely healthy individual) who is falling in love also show these symptoms.

Bear with me once more. (I'm sorry I should have warned you before getting into this stuff, it gets confusing.)

Okay, so let's continue, now aside from all the stuff in the last ask there are also other things. Babe I don't wanna add more to the misery but this is also kinda important so if you don't wanna spoil the image of love turn around and walk away, don't read it.

When a person is in love there are other things they are likely to do;

1. Think about lover. Have repeating thought about them (which we have covered)

2. Make personal sacrifices and compromises.(This can be any sacrifice, like sacrifice of time or work or money or thing, even emotions. You will put them first before everything. You will adjust your reality to fit them into your world even if they didn't had space in your world before)

3.You will do anything to see them. If strangers then you might wanna catch a glimpse of them. You might walk down same street 10 times back and forth hoping to see them standing by the window. (You can't wait to be with them or around them)

4. Whatever you do for them is worth it. (Maybe a silly joke to see them smile, sometimes you might also want their approval, you might want to feel validated by them, everything you do is okay if you can get their approval or acceptance.)

Babe you might wanna sit down for this and I'm sorry but everything I said above are signs of addictive behaviour. Now let that sink in.

I will break this down to you real quick coz OCD, panic attack and addiction is part of love. You can't experience love without them, it's not that you have to check all the signs and symptoms on the list to be in love but every person in love experience one or the other symptoms at some point.

All these feeling the physical manifestation of love can be seen in panic attack. And the behaviour part like thinking about them, making scenario in head is OCD. And all the other mental thoughts, mental manifestation, mental changes like making sacrifices, and thinking you need them in your life, making adjustments for them these are symptoms of addiction. The "high" you get just by seeing them smile and you will do anything to make them happy coz whatever you do to make them happy or smile, it all becomes "worth it" in the end. That's how addictive behaviour is described. Similar to someone on drugs, you crave for it, you want it. (Here your brain wants you to keep this person, you think that they shouldn't go away, you will do anything to have them)

It is very important to know all these things are disorders. Meaning something is going wrong in your brain. But again these things are also happening to someone who is in love but we don't treat love as a disorder. If we see love as a disorder than half of the world will be mentally ill, love will be the most common cause of mental illness and we don't wanna do that. We don't wanna send wrong message. Love is a good thing and it happen to all of us there's nothing wrong with it. Evolution wanted us to go through this beautiful and dramatic experience. (I hope you are understanding me. Coz it's difficult to explain like this. If you are lost anywhere you can tell me about it)

(are you talking about the music video of the song?)

yeah i’m down for marriage, but after some time when i’m sure this is the right person. hmm care to say why? only if you’re okay with doing so. oh understandable, I hope you do find someone that you’ll fall completely in love with, and they’d love you just the same cause you deserve it<3
