what about you turns your person on 💋

pile i • red jasper

ace of pentacles • seven of pentacles • seven of wands • ten of cups • nine of wands

For starters, your stubbornness arouses your person. It’s your way or the highway, but this attitude seems to turn your person on even more because they like how you are sure of yourself and know exactly what you want and you will not stop until you’ve achieved exactly what you desire. This person likes how you don’t seem like a freak on the outside, and that you keep this part of yourself repressed and hidden like a classy lady in the streets, but they know that you are a freak in the sheets. For some, your person could be aware that you are a freak, but you may be self-conscious to admit or show them exactly how you get down because maybe you are religious, or you don’t want your person to have a negative perception of you, but your person wants to nurture and encourage this other side to you with confidence and comfortability without feeling a sense of shame. Your person could also be a sapiosexual, so they are aroused by your intelligence and how you challenge them to think beyond the surface and think about things from a more intense & intimate perspective (their beliefs, values, opinions, etc). They appreciate how they can learn new things and perspectives from you because this keeps them on their toes and craving for the next thing. They are aroused and attracted to your natural beauty (some of you could be thick, and they love and worship your beautiful curves, specifically your a$$, thighs, and hips. Your person likes how wet you can get and fantasizes about fertilizing your garden (ifykyk) because they strongly believe that you are their ideal partner to build a future with and to carry on their legacy. For some, when you finally put your guard down in between the sheets, your person likes how dominate and aggressive you can be, or you like it when your person takes control and knows how to handle you, and this drives your person absolutely mad with passion. Your person is also aroused by how innocent and shy you portray yourself when they know that you are a very nasty & freaky girl, but they also wish that you would trust them enough to fully let your guard down and be absolutely vulnerable with them when the two of you get intimate. You person wants to ensure you that you are safe and protected at all cost when you intimately share yourself with them.

messages from your person

Let me slap you up. I’ll make you act right.

Sit on it.

I know you love it when I put my hands around your neck.

I want to tie you up.

I’ll let you dominate me and tell me whatever to do. 

Stop running from this d*ck.

God, I love how innocent you look, even though we both know that’s far from the truth.

the sun (rx) • four of pentacles • the moon • the wheel • four of wands

Your person is aroused by how complex and mysterious you are, or the fact that they cannot really figure you out which keeps them on their toes. It’s like you are multiple people in one and this is intriguing to this individual because they never know what side of you that they can expect. Your person could view you as conceited, and takes pride in their appearance, yet they find this extremely attractive and arousing because they like how confident you are and how you know and understand your worth. Your person is also aroused by how independent you are and that you get your own bag without depending on others, yet they wouldn’t mind spoiling you and giving to you, if you don’t mind. For some, your person may get aroused by simply providing for you, so buying you expensive gifts and taking you on lavish trips for the sake of companionship, and intimacy. Your person absolutely worships your body and finds it highly attractive. They love that you take care of yourself and your well-being. They could also love how unpredictable, daring, and playful you can be at times, as you are always down for a fun time and that you challenge them to do things outside of their comfort zone, and encourage them to explore the dark side with you, no matter the consequences. This person has a very active and imaginative mind, as they may have wild fantasies of what they would like / want to do to you in the bedroom, or what they want you to do to them. They like how you bring out this unconscious primal energy out of them that they could suppress, or they never fully understood until they became intimate with you. They get aroused how they can have you and no one else can and will never have you. Your person is bewitched by you and your beauty, that they feel like you put a spell on them and they are completely and unequivocally yours.

messages from your person

I’m your personal slave. I’ll let you do whatever you want to me and I will obey your every command.

You and your person could be on a break during this time, or this could be an old flame that still clearly has feelings towards you. This person has made several attempts to move on from you and this connection, but they seem to be unsuccessful in their attempts because they are still stuck on you and regret how they fumbled you and this connection. This person feels like the two of you are soulmates and are meant to be together in this life and maybe in the next, so they may decide to spin the block very soon, in attempt, to win back your trust and heart. This may sound a bit crazy, but this person is turned on by how you’ve managed to get yourself on track and how you are standing on business since the two of you parted ways. They are turned on and impressed by your glow up on a physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual level, and how you’ve been able to find the strength and confidence to cut certain people, places, and things out of your life that could have been holding you back from your highest potential. They are turned on by your newfound confidence and independence, yet it also scares them because subconsciously, they know that you are content and can do bad all by yourself. This person could be turned on, yet threatened by the competition for your love, affection, and attention. They know that there are other people that have their eyes on you because you are the ultimate prize, but this person doesn’t mind because they are up for a challenge to win your heart by any means necessary. They are also turned on by how you play hard to get and that you always give them crumbs, but never the whole loaf of bread, which makes them want to come back for more every f*cking time. This person puts you a pedestal and find you to be absolutely & breathtakingly gorgeous. To this person, you are the perfect and ideal person in their eyes, as they find everything about you as so got damn sexy and effortless. This person is turned on how wet you got / get when the two of you get intimate. They truly believe that you are the best they ever had in terms of intimacy and as a partner. They may get turned on by the idea of impregnating you, and you being the greatest mother to their children. Overall, this person is absolutely head over heels in love with you and they cannot imagine their life without you in it, and they are determined to get that ole thing back.

messages from your person

[jacks347]

I feel like hurting people so let's talk about Redacted characters fatal flaws.

David - Obligation

I was originally going to say David's flaw was loyalty but I thought that was too surface level so I dug a little deeper and found something a bit more important. David carries a heavy weight of obligation on his shoulders. He runs the pack and the security company because it's what his dad would've wanted, he works to keep the pack going because people depend on him, he only met Angel cause Caelum made him. Everything in his life is because of feels obligated to keep said things going. He didn't want to be in this situation, he doesn't want to have to work as hard as he does but he knows he has to in order to maintain everything his father left him. David takes on so much because he thinks he has to and that kind of weight will crush him eventually. He's pulling himself in so many directions, something has to give. To put it in his own words, one of these times when he throws himself at the wall it won't be the thing that breaks.

Asher - Optimism

Asher, you sweet sweet bean, your joy will be the thing that destroys you. Asher has the Polites problem (see, I know Greek characters) in where his optimism is the thing that drives the group into a far more dangerous situation. Asher's hopeful belief that they could get through the Inversion almost got him killed. He is the sunshine character, he's the one that everyone expects to be happy, he holds the morale of the pack on his shoulders and that kind of pressure would be enough to make anyone crack. How long will it be until the happy-go-lucky attitude snaps under the weight?

Milo - Dedication

It's easy to say Milo is loyal to a fault. It's hard to say he has a gravely misplaced sense of dedication. Milo feels he has something to prove, he always has. Prove to himself and the rest of the pack that he's useful, he has a place, he has a purpose in this pack. Milo has dedicated his life to proving his worth and that dedication to a harmful cause will be the thing that kills him. Hell, it already almost did. If another event like the Inversion happens, he might not make it out.

Sam - Independence

Sam is an interesting case because his need to be independent won't kill him physically as much as it will mentally. He has worked so hard to make sure other people's actions don't define him that he instinctively isolates himself. He keeps everyone at arm's length so that if and when they do something that hurts the people around them, he won't be caught in the blast radius. But that changes when he meets Darlin, someone who also keeps people at arm's length and doesn't let anyone get close. There's an argument to be made in how Sam seems himself in Darlin and that's why he felt so inclined to help them (beyond just hating Quinn) but not the point I'm making. Sam runs from problems before they can affect him and when the pack dies, he'll be stuck in a problem he can't run from. Sam may not die after the pack is gone but he will fade into the background. Sam will be lost in time, clinging to memories of a time that he let people in as those too eventually fade into the aether of history.

Vincent - Naivety

I heavily considered giving Vincent independence as his fatal flaw too cause it very well could be but we don't do doubles in this house and there is a far more deadly flaw in him and that's his naivety. Vincent is blind to his situation, he doesn't understand most of it because he's been shielded from it. He lacks understanding of what it really means to be a vampire, let alone one in such a well known house. And it's in that where we see his mistake with Lovely. Vincent turned Lovely without fully understanding his own place and therefore doesn't understand the responsibilities he's putting onto Lovely by bringing them into it. It's the blind leading the blind. This lack of real understanding I think will be what tears him apart.

Porter - Peace

Now, this one is hard to explain. How is peace a fatal flaw? Rather simply, actually. You find peace in a situation that you choose not to change. Porter is William's guard dog because he doesn't feel like he deserves to be anything more. He does as asked because he thinks it's all he good for. He had made his peace with the fact that he believes he's not worth anything more than the blood he can spill. Which is wrong and flawed. And it's in that peace in the situation he doesn't believe he deserves to change that will get him killed. If he doesn't convince himself he's worth more than this, it'll be the thing that does him in.

Gavin - Humanity

Gavin's sense of humanity may not necessarily kill him but it will cause an untold amount of pain. Gavin has distanced himself so far from the world of demons in order to choose his own path and be who he is that he's forgotten this world isn't his. Elegy owes him nothing and it'll give him as much. It's the immortal lover problem, he will survive long after Freelancer and the others are gone and it will break him. I've mentioned before that Gavin and Porter are two sides of the same character but what's interesting is how their stories seem to be going in opposite directions until they eventually switch places. When Gavin loses the people that give him a sense of humanity, he will fall to what he believes he has to be in order to survive while Porter is learning that he can be more than what's expected of him and will hold that sense of pride I believe long after Treasure is gone.

Escaped, you're next. Prepare.

Hey…so to spare a lengthy explanation, let’s just say I’m way out of my depth here…

[Id: Image of a midnight form Lycanroc]

It started following me last night, I obtained a pokeball to carry it around in, but I don’t know how to take care of this thing. Any advice is appreciated -Shiro

Oh boy okay. Luckily my mama knows a lot about lycanroc so I am slightly more in my depth here, so here’s some tips

• Midnight form lycanroc are VERY independent, and expect to be respected by their trainer as equals. They’re also very smart and hate their intelligence being insulted, don’t treat them like a poocheyena pup or you will be subjected to their famous temper

• Theres a lot of reasons why a wild midnight lycanroc would just join a trainer, I suggest trying to find out its motivation as soon as possible so you know what it wants and can respond accordingly. They typically only respect trainers who can help them grow stronger in battle, maybe this one recognized you as a strong trainer and wants you to train it. It could also maybe be hungry, though they’re pretty prideful pokemon and can definitely hunt for themselves. It’s also possible it’s just lonely? Pay attention to the kinds of things it wants from you

• As soon as is reasonable, get it an appointment with a pokecenter so it can get a checkup for any injuries/illness and get updated on vaccines. Rock types tend to be pretty sturdy, so unless it looks sick you could feasibly hold off a little until its more comfortable around other people and pokemon (if it isn’t already) but vaccinations and a check up are a must

• They’re carnivores! They can eat berries if needed but don’t get all the nutrients they need from them. A typical meat mix for canine pokemon should be good food for it, since it’s a rare rock type that isnt dependent on actual rocks for nutrients. It also does drink water, so your typical food and water bowl setup

• NO BATHS. Lycanroc HATE water baths and would rather clean themselves using dust/sand and shaking it off afterwards. You can get grime off by using a brush on their fur if necessary

• I’d suggest looking up guides for how to train a wild caught, evolved pokemon and how to train a temperamental wild pokemon, because a lot of that advice will apply to your average midnight lycanroc

• Patience is key, and midnight lycanroc aren’t anything to be afraid of. My huge list might make them seem like they’re high maintenance or lash out a lot or something like that, but nearly every issue you might run into with a midnight lycanroc can be solved with patience and a willingness to work with them. They can be strong and temperamental, but are extremely rewarding to train and have as pokemon

I wish you luck!

[carniferous]

hi dil! i am very interested in buddy system! tell me more 🤲🏻

wooo okay so. this is the pandalily fic that definitely will not be posted until ibhfts is finished so the idea is very long-term. it's my love letter to accidental magical bonding fics. it's my stab at writing lily and pandora and their dynamic even though the entireity of it is like seeing the yuri shadows on the wall and going crazy. i run a jegulus blog this should be no surprise to anyone

the general plot is: it's the summer after lily has graduated from hogwarts and she receives a letter from slughorn offering her an apprenticeship with him. at first lily is going to refuse on account of the whole War situation but she eventually decides to do it for the summer. so she arrives at slughorn's cottage in the cotswolds and she discovers... pandora! who is also doing an apprenticeship with slughorn!

this is partially me filling in the gaps of how pandora came to separate herself from the pureblood world. i don't think she completed her schooling at hogwarts partially bc she just felt that hogwarts didn't have anything valuable left to teach her and also partially bc she was just carrying so much grief over what her closest friends were becoming. literally imagine being 17 and all your friend join a blood supremacy cult. i would not be able to cope. i do think this is less of a moral objection on pandora's part (though i think she Does have some vague moral objections to it) and more like Why Are We Throwing Our Lives Away For Some Guy Named Tom? what's central to pandora's character imo is her need to carve out a life for Herself. she is never going to let her life fly off the rails the way regulus and (to an extent) barty and evan did. she's never going to place herself entirely in someone else's hands (in this way, she contrasts evan. in twin relationships, i always treat one twin like the independent variable and the other twin like the dependent variable. it's like how in the locked tomb series by tamsyn muir one twin always refers to herself as "i" while the other only ever says "we". to me, pandora is the "i" twin. evan is "we" twin. she's the independent variable to evan's dependent variable)

so in the fic she's staying at slughorn's while she attempts to Figure Stuff Out. she's working for him. he's happy to let her (she wasn't a member of the slug club but she's still rosier yk?)

okay so remember how i said pandora will not let her life get thrown off the rails? well. in comes lily. and they have a potions accident and get magically bonded together. at one point lily jokes that their Bond is like the magical version of the buddy system (it requires them to be in close proximity) hence my funny haha title. and their lives end up sort of intertwined around each other while they work to figure out how to undo the bond.

i like pandalily a lot mainly bc of what it means for two characters whose endings are so clearly written out (almost mythologized in that sense) to make a new story for themselves just by virtue of proximity. they're the Dead Moms. they're the Brilliant Witches. their children were friends and neither of them were ever around to see it bc they were too busy being Dead and Brilliant and Beloved. the question of what would happen if their stories had crossed paths is like. crazy to me.

pandora is very the handmaiden "my savior who came to tear my life up. my tamako. my sookee" about lily. lily is the savior who came to tear her life up.... pandora had a Plan she had a list of what she Would and Would Not do and lily barged into her life and tore it all up. not even on purpose! imagine if a potion spilled all over you and suddenly this random stranger was bonded to you for an indefinite amount of time. and imagine if this random stranger's life weirdly mirrored your own right down to the life they'd given up in order to have the life they wanted. she's Jealous of how well lily's life has turned out bc lily did the whole giving-up-your-family thing and ended up with a group of friends who adore and cherish her. pandora left her family behind and now she lives alone in a cottage. she writes letters to her brother and her old friends and they reply but it will never be how it used to be and i think she looks at lily and sees an element of youth she wishes she could still cling to (which is funny bc lily is older than her).

from lily's perspective, pandora is just like endlessly fascinating to her. she has a brother she loves more than anything yet she still left him behind. she's from a old pureblood family yet she's not a blood supremacist. she's a faerie princess wandering around this fairytale cottage and she has NO cares for laboratory safety. she's the most brilliant person lily has ever met. it's driving her crazy. she's clawing the walls up with how much she Needs to fuck her. this is a new experience for lily..... i think she's pretty used to have a handle on her desires. she never wants what she know she can't have--she's logic-driven like that. and in a way.... it's bc of how logical and clear-cut and methodical she is that she can't escape the story being laid out for her. escaping it would mean giving in to the desire that has always existed in the back of her mind to tear her life to shreds (a desire that pandora has Never had, mind you). pandora is like this lonely little bird-creature of a girl and lily has this horrible desire to just Mess Her Up a little. it makes her feel kind of bad. she's going to do it anyway

[nightswithkookmin]

I'm not a jikooker because I prefer jimin with another member I ship him with..jimin is someone so affectionate and caring towards the people around him. With this jm is close to each member but somehow for some reason its always jikook who are spotted hanging out together off schedule. so many sightings from army spotting them in a restaurant and restaurants confirming this.the DVD memory 90% is jikook ofc the company favors them more that's why they film only their moments. because honestly as I ship jm with another pason I tend to always spot jikook together that it pisses me off so much.have had enaf of them together.no hate to jk but he should leave jm alone sometimes not hovering around him all the time duh!my question the latest run bts suga said "that's smth a couple would do" I mean why do they feel the need to highlight that all the time? Thats weird 😭if jikook are real and closeted isn't this exposing them?outing them just for a content lol it doesn't work that way.this is putting them at risk given they are in a homophobic country? or maybe the company wants to push this narrative of jikook as a couple?.also have mentioned about them spotted many times hanging out but we never see any other member hanging out off schedule just recently I saw jihope watching soccer. And its very rare.feel the company is pushing this fanservice even in their private lives.they want people to believe jikook are a thing.

Excuse me, you prefer Jimin with who??? 👀

If it's V or Suga or Namjoon I understand but anyone else and I'll snort😆

And I agree. Jimin is ship compatible with every one including himself. Yes. If he were a twin I'd ship him with his twin too and I'm not ashamed of that.

If you can't picture them making out I can and it's hot

Honestly I don't know if I should be flattered or mad or both or neither at this Ask so I'm just gonna be as respectful as I can be.

I haven't watched the run episode. I've only seen snippets but I will watch it this weekend. I have a ton of analysis to do and I hate commenting on stuff I haven't consumed.

This is not the first time Suga has said something of that nature. He's been alleged to have said "You weren't even a couple then" during Festa when Jikook shared the rain story.

Jin has made similar statements as have Namjoon and the others. When it comes to Jikook that is. He'll jikook have called themselves a couple too.

Since I don't speak their language and can't understand the nuances of it myself, I refrain from depending on any linguistic analysis for validation. I just take notice of it and carry on with my life.

Karmy can be a bit prudish and wow at everything because it's bold and daring and so out of the norm and gosh did you hear that? that's so gay, and sensationalise almost everything because they are so shocked easily by the prospect of two men "acting gay" when gay is so such taboo in their culture.

They are like me when I stare at a vagina that isn't my own.

I've said this over and over, but perhaps the company gravitate towards Jikook not only because what they have is authentic but because it's the best content they have💀

Best in terms of content production, engagement with fans, conversion of that engagement into monetary value, their chemistry is great, they self produce or come up with independently thought of and creative spontaneous moments that the best of hybe CCs couldn't conceive if they tried.

Which is strange because Vmin have awesome chemistry too and frankly I'm trynna see it. Jimin is a whole other mellow character around Taehyung sometimes. He steps back and let Tae take it away. Whereas around Jungkook most times, he gets so animated and hyper you'd think he swallowed a dynamite.

Not sure how much of his hyper activity is triggered by a subconscious awareness of Jungkook's proclivity towards introversion on screen. Whereas with V I feel he's more trusting of his co-workers ability to engage the audience on his own and come up with exciting and unique ideas for them to engage in without him necessarily worrying about censorship and worrying Tae's nerves will cause him to slip or make mistakes.

With Jungkook he gets lost trying to loosen him up and get him to relax on screen and not be soo aware of the cameras, or not read too much into anything he does while also trying to rile him up to get a reaction out of him because he's often fascinated by Jk's visceral response and reaction to him. He acts like there's no camera around, JK it's into it but soon forgets that millions of people are watching and so Jimin has to be on high alert around him. They give me headaches but I'm toxic so I love it. Bring it on Jikook.

Anywho, that was old Vmin. And old Jikook. These days Jungkook is the one that tries to loosen JM up.

And these days VMin can't play or keep it going for more than 5minutes without boring us to death with whatever weird vibes and inside jokes they have going on between them.

Case in point

Exhibit B

Don't get me wrong, they have impeccable chemistry and are also very good friends but let them be alone for an hour and you start blinking blankly at the screen- like you know there's something they not telling us and they matured and they all acting like grown ups with so much self respect and admiration for eachother.

Like when Tae confessed he liked Jimin alot I didn't expect Jimin's reaction at all, certainly not Suga cringing cos if those two are besties and face time eachother everyday I love you should be something they both should be used to hearing from eachother by now and their friends should be used to their shenanigans too by now.

Besides Taehyung confesses his love for Jimin more than he breathes oxygen in the air and this is Bangtan raised to the power Kpop- gay isn't exactly new to them if you know what I mean.

Yet no one said well that's so something a couple will do for that VMin moment. They cringed harder than a ma cracks his knuckles. Like friends would if another friend started acting homo around the bro table. There's a scene from Boys over flowers where Lee Minho goes to kiss another one of their friends- note to self, gurl, you have to rewatch those dramas you loved it. We loved it. Cool? Cool.

That moment with vmin and Suga reminds me each time of that scene from the drama.

Where's if actual couples did it, the reaction would be one of just pure awkwardness because no one knows how to react around couples. You can't stare at them on the bus when they kiss cos you feel you are the creep creeping up on private moments. It's just awkward and you don't know what to do with yourself.

Then if they are your friends you try to play it up by teasing them, mimicking them, hooting at them

Or you just exchange awkward glances and smirk

And to put things into perspective, Namjin cringing and bursting out a romantic soundtrack over Jikook's rain fight narration was warranted.

It was the first time they were hearing this from them and their reaction was as anyone would- yet Suga didn't find that cringing AT ALL like he had found VMins moment to be- just a smirk like it's just ridiculous with those two. See how similar Jin had reacted to their hickey story too?

Hobi forgets to react at all sometimes💀

He just smiles warmly and stares or laugh his brains out. Except for that one time Jungkook let it slip he wanted to be handcuffed by Jimin🥺

And why was it necessary for Tae to say that? Why was it necessary for Tae to make that confession? And why did the members intuitively assume JM was going to choose Jungkook for that? Namjoon went with V but only because he voided his gut instincts and used his head. We've all been there.

Jimin have said Tae has matured so much and we only see glimpses of Old Tae but he's different. Of course that's gonna impact the way they interact on screen.

They keep saying that's something a couple will do because THAT'S SOMETHING A COUPLE WILL REALLY DO.

There's no beating around the bush about it.

The ironical friends sharing a couch or they look exceptionally close today does not explain why they sneak into each other's hotel rooms or why cameras were placed in their rooms without their notice and Jikook had to walk in blindsided.

Jimins reaction was priceless.

You frankly don't need to see or hear them going out to restaurants to know something's up with those two. You don't.

Anyone who claims otherwise is just in denial.

Personally, if a Korean were to ask me about Jikook I'd say to them they are friends fuck off. If an Iarmy were to ask I'll say they are more than that. I see them for what they are and I celebrate them, I appreciate them, I love them and I support them. But I will protect them against anyone that posed a threat to their safety their well-being and their essence.

It's just the gay way.

And I feel this is often the conundrum people are faced with when it comes to Jikook. On one hand, they want to be celebrated- who wouldn't -but on the other hand their safety careers and lives could be as stake and they would want to protect that too.

And the best way to do that, if I were a company, would be to hide them in plain sight. Which is what everyone and their momma does with Jikook.

Jikook have not always been the creme de la creme of ships and hybe have not always used them as their go to fanservice ship. Granted fanservice is part of Kpop.

The Busan Brothers have split. The sun and moon duo blah- jikook don't nearly get marketed as a couple as much as other ships in bts to be frank. Editors have called Tae Kook romantic or a couple with chest in content, Sope get called couples almost everyday, they deliberately put members together to promote stuff because THEY ARE ALL THERE TO WORK.

This is somebody's business. They invest real money Into all of this. If ships were hurting their business and hard earned or borrowed money, they would dead that shit two dinosaurs ago. The fact they ain't said nothing means it's serving them. We are the puppets and they are the puppeteers.

They pull the strings and we go. Not the other way round.

As to whether they are doing this at the expense of Jikook, Jikook would be the best determiners of that. They have agency and in the past where they were "too young" to comprehend the consequences of their actions they had their hyungs to look at for them- hence all those tensions and allegations of members breathing down their necks.

Bighit was acting like Kris Jenner, encouraging them to strip and gyrate metaphorically for the cameras while they smiled all the way to the bank to cash out.

But it's 2022, a year where BTS have gone up against the government of Korea itsself and decided by themselves to call off any postponement to their military service and serve.

This is the same year you want to peddle the Hybe making Jikook do fanservice in their PRIVATE LIVES???

Girl BYE. Can't take you seriously.

I won't lie you lost me there.

WERE YOU IN THE FANDOM WHEN THEY ISSUED A STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT JUNGKOOK'S PERSONAL MATTERS IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS DURING HIS ITAEWON SCANDAL??

What they do off schedule really is none of our business or company's. Just as you get to go off work and your boss don't follow you home. It's reasonable to assume same for these boys.

YOU DIDN'T SEE HOW THEY SAID JACK SHIT ABOUT TAE JENNIE RUMORS?

There's been so much history and so much growth and the boys have accumulated enough socioeconomic capital to be reduced to such nonsensical levels of ridicule and bad takes.

And I'm sorry but what do you mean Jungkook should back off Jimin sometimes??

THE ANSWER IS A GRAND NO.

Read my lips, NEEEEEEUUUUUUUU

They are two legal adults half way through and almost 30, who determine whom to give their time and energy to and they choose to do that with each other- Oh look, I found something. Respect. Have some. For them.

Jimin has been spending his time with various persons both in a professional capacity and non professional capacity and we should be grateful that he is a functioning human being capable of functioning outside his group dynamic.

Going solo is pretty scary and they are all transitioning well and adjusting well to it. That's all that matters. Let's be glad that in spite of their personal projects that they make time to connect with their members and keep the spirit of BTS alive.

Real heartache is them finding BTS outside BTS and forgetting how precious their friend group once was.

But I get where you are coming from. rather than try to manifest Jungkook out of the picture, try manifesting your fave into the picture and go nag them until they call him up m- don't worry I'll put them through when the call comes. Wink.

Jimin is an extrovert and honestly he is well adjusted. I don't think he needs much help connecting with ppl.

My good sis, let's just enjoy the breadcrumbs while we can, before Jikook officially ties the knot🤧

Once they do it's game over for you and I and all the jm side ships on the black ship market🥺

I wouldn't say the company want ppl to believe Jikook are a thing. They only want you to believe they aren't a big deal. It's called normalization. The oldest trick in the books.

I'm high on pain meds.

I made sense some where I hope. Deadass💀

boku no hero academia, season two, part one.

prompts taken from the subs of the second series of the anime, specifically the u.a. sports festival arc. some lines have been lightly edited for roleplaying suitability. content warning for implied violence, mentions of injury.

it was foolish to throw away the advantage of having unknown quirks.

you thought everything would simply go your way.

there are plenty of people who don’t know what to do with their quirks.

what i aspire to be seems so out of reach.

hey, did you watch the news last night ? did you see how we were on-screen for a second ?

[name], you’re back too soon !

my well-being doesn’t matter.

the school sports festival is drawing near.

think of it as us showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding this event.

it’s not an event to be cancelled because of a few villains.

a lot of people miss their chance to become independent after that and become eternal sidekicks, though. [name], i feel like you’d be one of them.

if you expect to go pro, then the path to your future will open up at this event.

[name], i’m getting kind of nervous now ! i need to stand out !

[name], you have a unique way of getting fired up.

what’s wrong ? your personality’s all over the place.

you want to become a hero for money ?

you still can’t regulate your power, can you ?

frankly, i don’t have much time left as [title.]

you still feel the same as you did back then, don’t you ?

i want you to tell the world, i am here !

no-one’s better at spouting nonsense than you !

i understand how you feel, and this is more for me than you. i won’t force you.

out of my way, extras.

stop calling people extras just because you don’t know them !

i came to see what the famous [group / name] was like, but you seem pretty arrogant.

are all the students in the hero course like this ?

depending on the results of the sports festival, they’ll consider our transfer into the hero course.

if you get too carried away, i’ll sweep your feet out from under you.

i came with a declaration of war.

i heard you fought against villains, so i came to hear about it !

what are you going to do about this ? it’s your fault that everyone’s hating on us !

[name], be careful not to get hurt.

no matter what comes, we have no choice but to deal with it.

looking at things objectively, i think i’m stronger than you.

hey, hey, hey ! why are you picking a fight all of a sudden ?

we’re not here to play at being friends.

[name], you probably shouldn’t talk so negatively.

i can’t afford to fall behind.

we’re just here to make those guys look better, huh ?

i won’t let you get away so easily !

you got me with that once, you won’t get me again !

if they went through all this trouble, i wish they would’ve prepared something better.

hey ! someone’s trapped underneath !

if it hadn’t been me, someone would have died !

that [class / group] really is filled with bastards.

like i’d let you get ahead of me !

it doesn’t matter if it’s close ! just get to the next round !

it’s time for my support items to be in the limelight !

[name] is probably watching … i can’t let them see me acting uncool !

i don’t have time to worry about what’s behind me !

if i can’t take back the lead, then i can’t let you get ahead of me !

modern heroes depend a lot on their popularity, so they need to have that desire to be above all others.

you should still try to stop being such a crybaby, though.

it’s survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top !

there are times when you have to kick others down in order to show your stuff.

you don’t pay attention to what’s around you at all, huh ?

[name] ! team up with me !

if we run away the whole time, then you’ll win, right ?

what’s the matter ? you look ugly, you know.

it’s just that you’re so bright that i can’t look straight at you …

they aren’t the only ones who see you as a rival.

if i team up with you, then i’ll inevitably become part of the team everyone’s watching most, right ?

[name], keep watch over our blind spots !

give that back ! i’ll kill you !

there’s no point in being obsessive over winning in the prelims, right ?

tell me about it sometime - about how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year.

i’ll be taking that now.

there’s nothing left to lose ! full attack mode !

they seem to think highly of you, [name.]

sorry, but you’ll just have to bear it !

if they don’t know about [thing], then we can use it to hold them back !

don’t you often hear about heroes who get done in by villains who want revenge ?

such nice quirks. mine’s better, though.

[name] ! picking a fight, huh ?

oh, don’t get mad at me ! you’re the one who provoked us, right ?

they can see right through you, fool.

you won’t be able to use me after this.

it’s a secret move i hadn’t told anyone else about yet.

i told you, didn’t i, [name] ? that i’d challenge you.

the feelings of those who trust in me – i’m carrying all that right now.

don’t act on your own, [name] !

i told you to say something if you were gonna jump !

we’re gonna get an indisputable first place !

it hurts, but it’s not broken !

[name], get a hold of yourself ! that was close !

even though we won, it felt like we were skating on thin ice.

i won’t use this to attack. that’s what i decided, but i was overwhelmed …

at this rate, i’ll be doing what my [relative] wants.

before i knew it, we had zero points and it was over …

[name], i didn’t know you had a special move like that ! no fair !

i wanted to do something so i could compete with [name.]

what did you want to talk about ?

at that instant, i was the only one who was overpowered.

[name], are you … [person]’s secret love child or something ?

there’s a connection between you two that you can’t talk about, right ?

if you have something from the number one hero, then i have even more reason to beat you.

i haven’t seen you since that talk we had with the press [x] years ago, huh ?

you look clueless as usual, and it’s getting on my nerves.

you’ve heard of quirk marriages, right ?

i won’t become the tool of scum like that.

in my memories, my [relative] is always crying.

the world you talked about was so different that honestly, i was scared.

no matter what you are to [name], i will rise above you.

if this were a comic, you’d be the main character. that’s the type of backstory you have.

my motivation might seem trivial compared to yours, but i can’t lose either.

i have to live up to the hopes of those who supported me.

why am i always caught up in your schemes ?

i’m gonna stand on the stage i watch on t.v. every year !

i can’t be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened.

also, why are you wearing a cheerleader outfit ?

you should just say, i’ll do my best, damn it, you prince of nonsense !

is the image of the hero you’re trying to be that flimsy ?

don’t forget that i’ve got high hopes for you !

even though you’ve done well, what’s with that face ?

put your morals and ethics aside for a moment !

i’ll stop things if they go too far.

if you know what you want for your future, then you can’t worry about appearances.

don’t you think [name] was dumb for throwing away their chance ?

you didn’t stand out at all, but could you actually be someone amazing ?

i failed the practical exam for the hero course.

a quirk that can control people, huh ? isn’t that too strong to beat ?

i’m going to say something selfish, but please do your best for me, too.

you probably don’t understand, but even with a quirk like this, i have my own dream.

lose for me.

thanks to my quirk, i’ve been behind from the start.

someone who’s been blessed like you can’t understand, can you ?

it’s good for being a villain, huh ? i’m used to people insinuating that about me.

that was a kind of boring first match.

[name], why do you want to be a hero ?

you can’t help the things you long for.

even if it didn’t work this time, i definitely won’t give up.

people are usually wary when they talk to me.

at this rate, someone’ll trip you up in no time.

don’t lose in an unseemly way.

their cries hit close to home for you, huh ?

you put some weird pressure on [name] again, didn’t you ?

when it felt like my mind was filled with fog from the brainwashing, the vision appeared as if to drive it away.

you’re in my way.

you’re acting disgracefully, [name.]

stop this childish rebellion already. you have a duty to fulfil.

i won’t use your power when i fight.

you’re good, but what’s that plainness you just can’t get rid of ?

well, i don’t feel like i can win … but i don’t feel like losing, either !

don’t you think that’s a bit much ?

sorry i went overboard. i was angry.

for some reason … you looked very sad to me.

pretty things have thorns you know !

i’ll comfort you if you’ll have me.

[name], you’ve been amazing since i met you, but this is making me think that you’re amazing all over again.

weren’t you going to fight fairly ?!

you don’t want to watch the other’s matches ?

you’ve helped me so much, [name]. that’s why i thought maybe i could help you a little.

during the last battle, i thought it’d be easier to team up with friends, but now that i think about it, i might’ve been trying to rely on you.

let’s meet in the finals.

if you’re gonna withdraw, do it now.

how can you say you want to be a hero like that ?

since you’re friends with [name], i thought you’d be up to something.

all right, let’s get serious then, [name] !

if you’re gonna do it, do it properly.

you’re really letting your personal feelings take over.

that was your idea, wasn’t it ? that damned desperate plan.

you just have to be annoying, don’t you ?

[name] was leading you around by the nose.

that was tough, huh ? playing the bad guy.

there’s always next year, right ?

if we’re talking about power alone, yours is comparable to [name]’s.

watch carefully and prepare, [name.] they may become obstacles to you one day.

it’ll be dangerous to let you use that power as you like.

i’ll be up against you next, [name] ! let’s have a good fight !

quirks are physical abilities, too. they must also have some kind of limit.

what, you’re that beat up just from defending and running away ?

with your arms like that, you can’t fight anymore, can you ?

why are you going so far ?

you’re trembling, [name.]

you want to win with just half your strength ?!

you haven’t put a single scratch on me yet, you know !

come at me with everything you’ve got !

[name], what are you planning ?

did my damn [relative] buy you off or something ?

you’re full of adrenaline now, so you’re probably not feeling much pain, but those injuries …

right now, i think you should stop screwing around !

stand up ! if you’re downed by something like this, forget beating [name], you won’t be able to take the small fry villains.

you want to be a hero, don’t you ? it’s okay for you to be one.

don’t look at that, [name.] they’re from a different world than you.

[name], i’m going crazy, i can’t take it anymore.

they injured you, so i put them in a hospital.

it’s your fault. you’re the one who made them …

it’s your power, isn’t it ?!

you don’t have to be a prisoner of your blood.

it’s okay for you to become who you want to be.

[name], don’t tell me you’re trying to save [them / name] ?

which one of us is screwing around now ?

have you finally accepted yourself ?

why are you smiling ? with those injuries, in this situation … you’re crazy.

don’t blame me for what happens next.

just because something is powerful doesn’t mean it’s good.

what the heck is up with your class ?

hey, who won the match ?

you mean you didn’t have a plan ? you were just provoking them ?

you can’t be a pro hero if you’re injured every time you attack.

you’ve finally become a perfect upgrade of me.

after you graduate, come work for me.

i’ll lead you down the path of the mighty.

it’s not something that can be so easily reversed.

it’s just … back then … for that one moment … i forgot about you.

it’ll never be the same as it was before.

i don’t like your style of rubbing salt into people’s wounds.

i’m sorry i couldn’t do what you asked.

meddling when you don’t need to is the essence of being a hero.

you must find a way to use your power in a way that is not so self-destructive.

you think that someone else should be my successor ?

you know, i was quirkless too.

you have gone beyond what i imagined, time and time again.

you didn’t have enough guts, [name] !

you forgot i could do little tricks like this too, didn’t you ?

we’ll have to watch carefully, and get our revenge next time.

you guys haven’t even noticed this warped society covered with hypocrisy and vanity.

i’ll show you what happens when you make a fool of me !

there’s no point if i can’t get higher up than [name.]

didn’t i tell you there was no point, damn it ?!

i assume there is a reason you didn’t use your full power in the final ?

first place like this isn’t worth anything.

if you had come into surgery two minutes later, it would have been too late.

why do you want to see [name / me] now after all this time ?

i thought my presence would put pressure on you, so i never came to see you.

even if you don’t want it, i will rescue you from here.

i’ll support you, but that doesn’t mean i don’t worry.

c!tommy post-prison-revival drabble that doesn't actually have a proper ending it just kinda cuts off

i don't have a preview for this that'll make sense out of context but basically: tommy dies, gets revived, tubbo takes care of him for a bit, tommy hates himself, tommy also develops POTS because of the head trauma ^_^

-> just putting it out there now: i do not suffer from POTS or any disability similar to it. i did a bit of research about it before writing this, but if anything is inaccurate, that's on me. it's not a massive component of the story, but it is prevalent enough for me to issue this warning.

additional info: brief mention of nudity (nothing weird dw), c!clingy being clingy, angst i guess, a bit of fluff depending on how you look at it

drabble below the break :]

-

Nobody told Tommy that being revived was like being born again.

Nearly seventeen to just three months old again, all in an instant. A three month old is what he is— a three month old with head trauma, all the pent up emotion of a teenager, and a mouth that curses like a sailor—

A mouth that curses because that's all it knows how to do. Tommy's stuck in a body that doesn't know what to do— a body that's gone into fight-or-flight because it's trapped in an obsidian cell with the very thing that killed it and left it to rot for months surrounded by these voices and aggravating sounds in its head.

This fight-or-flight phase doesn't end, even when he's being assisted— no, dragged out of the prison by its warden, knees buckled, legs unable to hold the scarred skin and bag of broken bones placed on top of it.

It only ends when Tommy's eyes meet Tubbo's.

It's raining. It's foggy and it's raining and Tommy can hardly make out Tubbo's silhouette in the distance with his blurry eyes— still adjusting to the world— but somehow he knows. Somehow his brain remembers that this person is important and this one won't hurt you.

Somehow his brain is right.

His head aches.

Tommy's head really aches.

It doesn't stop aching— not in the next hour or the next day or the next week— it never stops aching. He feels dizzy and nauseous and his legs still don't fucking work as Tubbo guides him through the walls of Snowchester.

Snowchester is white— sky-blue and slate-grey and spruce-brown and snow-white— but suddenly it turns black and Tommy's gone again, body laid to rest in the snow where it should be— maybe buried beneath the dirt for good measure— but it doesn't stay there long. His eyes are open again and it's snowing. He feels cold. He can't really feel his hands anymore, much less any other parts of his corpse.

Thank Prime Tubbo's strong.

Tubbo carries him inside— into the warmth of his cottage. "Ranboo is out," he says, "he won't be back for a bit, I don't think. Man's too busy mining." Tubbo sets him down by the fireplace, draping a blanket over him and pulling up a chair, letting his head rest on the seat.

He gets him food. Tommy doesn't eat it. He's too tired and too sick and his head aches too much for him to eat it.

It's embarrassing being born again. It's embarrassing to be three months old with the mind of a seventeen year old. It's embarrassing to have to be taken care of like an infant— to watch a toddler run around with more independence than him.

It doesn't last long, thankfully.

It's only for a few days— nearly a week, but Tubbo takes good care of him.

Tommy doesn't think he'd have it any other way— doesn't think he could bear having anyone else be here for him.

He doesn't think he'd let anyone else bathe him. He doesn't think anyone else would keep a hand on the back of his neck while his head is lowered into the water, no one besides Tubbo.

He doesn't think he'd let anyone else towel him off and dress him. He doesn't think anyone else would dress him in their husband's clothing because their own doesn't fit— he doesn't think anyone else would wash the blood out of his clothes and leave them to dry in front of the furnaces in the basement, returning them while they're still warm, no one else besides Tubbo.

He doesn't think he'd let anyone else spoon-feed him homemade soup and hold his hair back when his body can't take anymore— he doesn't think anyone else would do that for him besides Tubbo.

Nights are long when you're three months old, because three-month-olds cry and cry and cry and they just don't shut up— and Tommy does the same. He feels awful about it, but the tears start and they don't stop and of course Tubbo takes it upon himself to dry them, wiping them away with cold hands that Tommy doesn't entirely mind because he seems to be so feverish all the time anyway.

Eventually, the nights get shorter and the headache goes away and it gets a bit easier to move and stomach food and things are kind of looking up.

Things are looking up until they're not, though. They're looking up until Tommy's finally confident enough to walk to the kitchen by himself and faints halfway.

Tubbo runs a few tests. He doesn't tell Tommy what the diagnosis is, just hands him a wooden cane and tells him that when the episodes stop, he can stop using it.

Tommy figures out what an "episode" is quite quickly.

Summer comes and Tommy moves back home. Home isn't a fantastic place to be in his opinion, especially because it's more of a glorified tomb now that a home. He prefers to go out for walks— revisit some nostalgic sites and relive the memories, walking through the actions of shooting a bow and arrow from the top of a tower, looking over at the crater that was L'Manberg— but these walks become less and less frequent under the summer sun because the sun hates him and his body hates him and everything and everyone hates him and wants him dead.

His body hates him, and he knows it does because every time the sun shines bright enough for the cicadas to play their song, it gives up. It just gives up. It gets dizzy and gets nauseous and it gets shaky and cold and clammy and it gives up. It sends him plummeting to the ground as if it's trying to bury itself— trying to go to where it should be— and then it reboots and carries on as if nothing happened and it makes Tommy hate it all the same.

So Tommy tries to move back to Snowchester— but the snow doesn't help, it just makes him feel colder, and he almost gets hypothermia once— gets frostbite twice cause he's just laying in the snow, which is such a bitch to take care of, honestly, but it's not his fault it's still snowing in the summertime.

Let Them.

“Asking for help is a form of intimacy in itself.”

My Co-Star told me that this morning. I love astrology. I take things to heart with it, but it doesn’t control my life. It’s just always fun to add a little extra meaning to things, especially the mundane.

However, this struck a bit of a different chord with me. A somewhat traumatic event happened to me recently, led by a week of being alone…like actually alone…for most of the days. No running around, lots of sitting, and even more thinking.

So here I am with my ruminating thoughts and the leftover crab rangoons my best friend treated me to, facing the thoughts head on.

I’ve come to realize my hyper-independence comes from a rejection of dependency. I hate needing people. I hate asking for help. I say sorry…far too much…even to the ER doctor while they are inspecting an open wound on my leg.

Back to that first sentence, the sentence I’ve glossed over my entire life and have failed to recognize time and time again — I don’t know where it stems from — all I know is I have this fear of depending on people. I always assure myself as a trusting person, someone who can always see the best in others, and I do. Sometimes at the expense of my own comfort, but I believe everyone deserves a chance. But, not being able to trust others — especially those closest to me — is a bit insulting, is it not? But that’s not my intention; I am headstrong in protecting myself from being hurt.

This week…I got hurt. Badly. Ended up with 13 stitches from a freak fall at a pug’s 1st birthday party. Yet, I got carried, my shoes and socks removed, cleaned in a bathtub, AND driven to the ER…all because it’s what I needed. And for some reason, they thought I was worth it to make sure I didn’t have to look at the blood or to make sure I had a pair of slip-on shoes on for the car ride.  

Notice how I said, “I was worth it?” There goes that distrust again. For as long as I can remember, I’ve faced feelings of unworthiness: not being the coolest, or the funniest, or if I’m actually even liked.

“Let them.” I heard this the other day, a life coach was talking about moments of disappointment – just say, “let them.” They made dinner plans without you? Let them. They didn’t add you to the group chat? Let them. I think this is a great anxiety management tool, however, I am now thinking of it in the sense of; You DID get invited to dinner? Let them. They sat with you in the ER for 3 hours? Let them. They bought you crab rangoons? Let them.

“Let them.”

Don’t use distrust and insecurity as an excuse to not experience some of the most fulfilling relationships of your life. When your people extend their hands, let them. Hold onto them. For as long as you need. Because it’s okay to need, just like they need you back. There’s a reason they stay around.

And to my best friends, thank you for staying around. Thank you for trusting me with your needs. I promise to do better moving forward; I promise to tell you when I need you to sit with me and I promise to make you laugh while we wait in the ER.

[gishigam]

⸻ ✧ ˙ ⊹. Physical Appearance

Face and Features

Eunbi has a delicate, heart-shaped face with soft, porcelain-like skin that seems to glow with a natural radiance. Her features are refined and gentle, with high cheekbones and a small, straight nose. Her lips are often in a soft, contemplative smile, as if she’s perpetually on the verge of remembering something just out of reach.

Eyes

Her eyes are perhaps her most captivating feature—large and almond-shaped, with irises that are a deep, soulful brown, almost black, holding a depth that suggests they’ve witnessed far more than her years would imply. There’s a faint hint of melancholy in them, as if they’ve seen joy and sorrow across many lifetimes. Her gaze is intense yet tender, often making those who look into her eyes feel as though she can see through to their very souls.

Hair

Eunbi’s hair is long, silky, and midnight black, cascading down her back in loose waves. It has a natural sheen, catching the light in a way that gives it a subtle, almost otherworldly glow. She often wears it down, allowing it to frame her face, though sometimes she might gather it into a loose braid or bun when she’s deep in thought or engaged in a task.

Body

She has a slender, graceful build, standing at an average height (at least she claims that..), but there’s an elegance to her movements that makes her seem taller, almost as if she’s gliding rather than walking. Her posture is upright, yet relaxed, exuding a calm confidence.

⸻ ✧ ˙ ⊹. Clothing and Style

Attire

Eunbi favors simple, flowing garments in soft, muted colors—whites, creams, light blues, and grays—that complement her serene aura. Her clothing often has a traditional or timeless quality, perhaps hinting at her connection to the past. She might wear modern hanbok-inspired dresses (just when she wants to be extra creepy), or loose, comfortable outfits that allow her to move freely and comfortably.

Accessories

She wears minimal jewelry, perhaps only a delicate silver bracelet or a small pendant necklace that holds personal significance. This piece of jewelry is an heirloom, passed down through generations, sometimes even a relic from one of her past lives.

⸻ ✧ ˙ ⊹. Personality and Demeanor

Quiet and Reflective

Eunbi is soft-spoken, her voice low and melodic, often speaking in a measured, thoughtful manner. She chooses her words carefully, as if aware of their weight and significance. She has a tendency to listen more than she speaks, absorbing everything around her with quiet intensity.

Mysterious and Enigmatic

There’s an air of mystery that surrounds Eunbi, a sense that she knows more than she lets on, yet she’s never overtly secretive. She often seems lost in thought, her mind drifting to places far beyond the present moment, giving her an aura of deep introspection. People who spend time with her can’t help but feel that there’s something just beneath the surface, something they can’t quite grasp.

Compassionate and Empathetic

Despite her reserved nature, Eunbi is deeply empathetic, instinctively understanding the emotions of those around her. She has a natural ability to comfort and soothe others, often knowing exactly what to say—or what not to say—in order to ease someone’s pain. Her kindness is quiet and unobtrusive, yet profoundly felt by those who receive it.

Independent and Resilient

Eunbi is self-reliant, capable of taking care of herself and handling challenges with grace. While she values her connections with others, she’s not dependent on them for her sense of self. Her inner strength is evident in the way she carries herself, calmly facing whatever comes her way without fear or hesitation.

⸻ ✧ ˙ ⊹. Habits and Quirks

Touching Her Pendant

When deep in thought or feeling uncertain, Eunbi often unconsciously reaches for her pendant, running her fingers over its smooth surface as if drawing comfort or clarity from it.

Stargazing

Eunbi has a habit of gazing at the night sky, feeling a deep connection to the stars and the vastness of the universe. She finds solace in the quiet of the night, often feeling that the stars are familiar friends, perhaps from another time.

Reading Old Texts

She has a fondness for ancient literature and poetry, often spending hours poring over old texts, searching for answers or simply losing herself in the beauty of the words. These texts might trigger memories or visions, further deepening her connection to the past.

⸻ ✧ ˙ ⊹. Internal World

Dreams and Visions

Eunbi’s dreams are vivid and often unsettling, filled with images of places and people she’s never known in this life, but who feel intimately familiar. These dreams leave her with a lingering sense of longing and déjà vu, as if she’s trying to piece together a puzzle that spans across time.

Loneliness and Longing

Despite her connections with those around her, Eunbi often feels a deep sense of loneliness, a longing for something—or someone—she can’t quite remember. This longing drives her to seek out the truth about herself, even as she fears what she might find.

A Search for Purpose

Eunbi is quietly driven by a need to understand her place in the world, and whether her recurring memories and the déjà vu she evokes in others serve a greater purpose. This search for meaning is at the heart of her journey, pushing her to uncover the mysteries of her past lives and how they connect to her present.

Franklix

Platform idea: A transparent content library that lets you choose the brain you want for yourself based on the averaged neurological changes of the consumers of the book, course, film, drama, etc. curated or, if the changes are too small, based on the genre, discipline, institution, lecturer, author, director or other creators. That is the definitively life-revolutionizing choice we need on top of the choices of exhilaratingly but ultimately helplessly watching larvae taking over human brains in Parasyte: The Grey or [doomsday scifi spoiler] the dispatch of a human brain to forlorn outer space in 3 Body Problem, shows which recently topped a FlixPatrol global TV streaming chart in close succession.

Content and life are fast evolving, so we need to ensure whatever forms of societal compass we have with respect to them keep pace. Sharper differentiation between beneficial content and detrimental content enables the precise and efficient choice optimization that is ever more important against a backdrop of enrichment/entertainment option overload and harrowing time scarcity. The necessity is real whether you are pro-screen or anti-screen.

To identify with an "anti-screen" league might sound hypocritical in this smartphone age. Even this discourse is of necessity mediated through a screen. The temptation and justification for screen usage are made powerful by the current realities of modern living — the network effect (i.e. how the value of a good or service depends on the number of users, which in turn carries implications for any digital abstinence or digital hermitism on the part of users like business owners, commentators, creators or even simply run-of-the-mill career builders), phone-addicted spouses and buddies whose attention you switch on more readily through WhatsApp, the need to join social conversations around trending shows to avoid becoming an outcast, online-only opinion pieces, and essential services increasingly requiring web connectivity. Prominent reflections of authentic neurological changes that confirm purported negative consequences of viewing excessive onscreen violence and short-form content, for example, would be reminders that may abate the temptation and turn the tide of peer pressure to some extent. Physical written materials, in contrast, can cultivate patience, concentration and an appetite for deep contemplation, provided they are not part of any multitasking setup.

That said, the books-good-TV-bad mantra needs a nuance check given the transforming content landscape. Give fair chances to new works otherwise tarnished by past scientific findings on the harm of television watching and stop shallow publications from stealing precious minutes of our lives. Television can be a rich and cognitively stimulating form of storytelling, if screen creators care to make the best of their medium, whereas a financially threatened publishing industry surviving on conservative business ethos may keep selecting works that repeat the same ideas for up to hundreds of pages at a time to meet traditional length expectations and across tens of thousands of titles. Unlike text, screen details may await careful discovery, instead of always being spelled out one way or another. What an opportunity for bookish nerds to stretch our multiple faculties. Layered audiovisual worlds take this millions of steps further as they compact ideas, emotions and sociocultural, literary and academic references into mere minutes or even seconds. The caveat is that the brain catalog must carry a warning about the content-independent perils of excessive screen time.

Not relying solely on superficial theories and industry experiences vulnerable to future disruption, @netflix itself has had a biophysical lab that measured electrical activities in volunteers' brains as they watched videos. To take this to an ideal level, we might want to randomly select individuals, habitual users of a medium and others alike, for each item or group in the proposed content library and conduct magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or other suitable measurements of them before and after their consumption of the item or of a statistically significant number of group items. With massive samples of such individuals, any confounding factors would hopefully cancel out each other. To be sure, the problems with this approach are tremendous: staggering technical and logistical costs, denial of personal autonomy, riding roughshod over conscientious objection to consuming works of certain ideologies or themes.

One compromise would be comparing the neurological measurements of pairs or, if the numbers permit, paired pools of consenting, anonymized viewers who share similar biographical data and viewing histories but differ in whether they have consumed the content item or group under evaluation. A discounted price tier can be offered to incentivize the consent, data sharing and measurements. There are at least two complications, on top of the obvious analytical limitation of self-selection, however. First, while pure entertainment content may be viewed as merely a foregone luxury for non-consenting individuals, the same is not true for foregone enrichment items, including important academic books and courses as well as works of profound societal value that inspire you, for instance, to push on against your real-life difficulties or to take pride in your marginalized background. The consequence is the oft-discussed data-selling equivalent of organ selling for people of lesser means who actually need to consume the works. Second, discussions around TikTok bans and around familial genomic information have raised the concern that personal data is more than personal. The geopolitical and societal implications of massive data collection may be deemed troubling, however unfettered, authentic and informed the consent given is.

Until there is a solution or favorable consensus for challenges above, here is a suggestion for a crude proxy that circumvents them: a review site-like content library where each user can pick two shapes that she believes best represent the cognitive state and emotional state of her brain respectively after consuming a curated item. Polling on the shapes starts after complete consumption of the item is plausible. For example, the brain shape poll for a web series should start at a time that is the sum of the time of release of the finale of a web series and the running duration of the finale. To minimize the effect of any manipulation by rabid fandoms or unscrupulous commercial players, the most popular brain shapes for the item are to be unveiled only after the end of a reasonably long voting period, after which no more vote will be accepted. At least the fun concept itself should be sufficient non-monetary incentive for poll participation.

Quantitative surveys of neurological states need not obliterate any romance or particularity of a viewing or fiction reading experience. Just as you can imagine having separate fabulous friendships with twins with identical looks and similar personalities, the Shinichi-Migi bromance in the Japanese manga/anime version of Parasyte and the Suin-Heidi "sismance" (never mind that a widely-accepted term for female bromance still does not exist) in the South Korean live-action adaptation of Parasyte mentioned in the beginning may be both worth cherishing in their own rights, even if they all hold out brains in the shape of a reaper with a large heart as its head in poll results. Ditto for The Three-Body Problem franchise's Cheng Xin X Yun Tianming loveline and Cheng Jin (Jin Cheng) X Will Downing loveline, and any steaming, plasmoid-shaped brains.

Hive Birds "Anatomy"

Okay, here are some more details about this little fellas: Specifications: Size: They are 1.2 meters (4 feet) tall when standing upright and 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) from the tip of the tail to the beak. Weight: They weigh approximately 45 kilograms (100 pounds) each. Battery life: Their batteries last approximately 8 hours of continuous operation before needing to be recharged. Speed: With no obstacles on flat ground, they are able to run at 50 km/h (30 mph), which is usually not the case. In a more likely terrain, like dense forests, they run at a slower speed of around 30 km/h (18mph). Carrying capacity : Each hive bird is rated at a carrying capacity of up to 15 kilograms (33 pounds). but  they're capable of carrying an adult for short distances.  Their structure and "anatomy" The hive birds use a system of pneumatic muscles to move, which lets them be light and agile while keeping their movements precise and efficient. These muscles are controlled by an array of valves and sustained by a small electric rotary air compressor located in their chest, which stores the compressed air in small, high pressure tanks located in their midsection, all powered by a battery located in their tail.  Hive birds also have a unique skeletal structure made out of carbon steel, which aims to combine the agility of a raptor with the dexterity of a human. Which allows them to navigate difficult environments with ease and perform intricate tasks with their hands.  How do they work, and why are they called hive birds? The Hive birds are meant to work in a hive like manner, where every one of them is connected to each other in a network, organizing and coordinating their actions collectively in a hive mind fashion. This allows them to collect data and notify agencies about the status of the areas that they monitor, with changes in instructions sent to them applied immediately by every single hive bird. They also operate with a base like structure where they go to charge their batteries and undertake maintenance if needed. These base structures get their power from solar panels and are equipped with enough spare parts and equipment to let the hive birds perform maintenance on each other, making each colony independent and only needing to be resupplied every six months on average. Colonies vary in size and complexity depending on the area that they cover, with the smallest ones consisting of tree hive birds with a range of only a few kilometers, while the largest colonies can span several hundred kilometers and house more than one hundred hive birds with multiple base structures. Their features and intended applications The hive birds are designed to keep the environment in check, keeping track of the ecosystem around them and collecting data on its changes. Some of the measures that they may take are pollination of plants, monitoring air quality, tracking wildlife populations, and detecting natural disasters such as wildfires or earthquakes. While their primary function is to keep the ecosystem in check, the hive birds are also capable of providing safety to people inside the parks. Their highly sensitive microphones let them hear and react to distress calls from miles away by either notifying emergency services, carrying or guiding people back to safety, or scaring away any wildlife that might oppose a treat for visitors. Oh, and the idea of pneumatic muscles came from this video: facebook.com/watch/?v=323350652606837

Finding the right woman for you Your Reflection is in the Right Woman

The way our mind operates is different from what we don't know or know yet until we find the right woman for us. When you are a man like myself from the Caribbean and you come to America at an early age, you go to school and grow up in Hollywood ghetto culture. After ten years and more, your mind has changed, bringing a bright darkness to your life. If you hold on to your roots, some people will say you are only in school. The reason I mentioned that in this post is because when you go to school here in America and start dating and dealing with all types of women, whether or not it is part of your culture, you see the world of women in many forms in women's behavior. Let's look at teenage dating. We are not thinking about the "ring on, figure it out, and walk to do" moment in the church; we are just looking for sex fun depending on how the person's lifestyle is because some teenagers have it better than others. What I mean by that is that some have family that buys all they need and gives them money, giving them an upper hand on the teenage dating scene. I am explaining the young teenage male way of life, and if his game is real, to convince a young female on her age level, he might fall in love, or if it just turns to kissing and breaks up the high school or college young relationship time zone.

As years ago by some of us come to our fully mature mind and look back on all the mistakes we make most block men become baby fathers and child support and other problems in reality relationships that pass down from generation to generation in the gehtto community, everyday you don't know what you need out of life and we reach a point where you're searching for me in every woman and a real man in his innate understanding tries to follow what he thinks is best for him. Sometimes we try to choose a woman the same as our mother man that searches for his Mach. May get lucky most of the time; most of the time it starts out good, but after five or ten years it goes cold. How do you find the right woman for you? The answer to that question is that you'll never know until you try to speak to an interested person about your love. If you pay attention to what you say, the person will actually do what you say. Speak for yourself; your self-reflection will let you know what you are dealing with. Age 30 is searching for the right woman. Most of them have babies, and if she puts the father on child support, she will do the same to you. The world is changing. Fifty percent of them make love to others. Women have many sex breakups. On the other hand, you have other sets that stay by themselves, particularly every day praying to God to send her husband. If you come across an important, independent woman who knows the game, she is going to run some checks on you to make sure you are not making the same mistake again.

Have your right conversation connect where to find the right woman; they are right beside you; have your eyes on them; and they will reach out to you.

What are the three search ranges? Education plays a big part. All men must remember that strong women always ask, "What is your character?" If you work around women, remember that if you carry yourself right, one or more will pass you before you choose right.

Pensioner sets off on 600-mile pony trek with pet dog in saddlebag

Jane Dotchin, 80, has been making the unusual journey from Northumberland to the Highlands since 1972. (Story from STV News)

An 80-year-old woman who wears an eyepatch is on an annual trek with her pony from England to the Highlands – on a seven-week adventure which began in 1972.

Jane Dotchin packs her saddlebags onto her trusty pony’s back every year, and heads to the hills from her home near Hexham, Northumberland, on an epic 600-mile trek to Inverness, covering between 15 and 20 miles a day.

She set off on August 31 with her steed, Diamond, aged 13, and her disabled Jack Russell named Dinky for company, from the off-grid smallholding where she lives.

She carries everything she needs including her tent, food and just a few belongings – and despite wearing an eyepatch is determined to continue as long as she can.

Ms Dotchin said: “My mother would look after my other ponies but she wasn’t that keen on looking after my Halfinger stallion, so I rode him down to Somerset to see a friend, which is about 300 miles.

“It was a bit of a hard slog, but it was good.”

After that initial journey, she caught the taste for the open road and travelled to visit friends near Fort Augustus, near Loch Ness, every autumn since.

The journey takes around seven weeks depending on weather and Ms Dotchin tries to stop off to see people she has met over the years.

She said: “I refuse to go slogging on through pouring wet rain.

“There are a few different routes I can take depending on the weather.

“I don’t want to go over hilltops in foul weather, but I work it out on the way.

“I don’t bother with maps, I just keep to the routes I know.

“It is nice to go and see [people] again – I ring them up in the morning to say I’m going to be there in the evening.

“I don’t warn them too far in advance, because if the weather suddenly changes or I decide to stop early then they can be left wondering where I’ve got to.”

Disabled Jack Russell Dinky, who has deformed front legs, travels in a saddle bag.

Ms Dotchin said: “She manages fine, when there is a nice grassy track she gets out and has a run, but she doesn’t like stoney ground but she is a nice hot water bottle for me in the tent.”

She said: “I asked for something good and solid in my old age and he got me a cob from Ireland. I struggle to get on her half the time, but otherwise I manage fine.”

Her diet consists of porridge oats, oatcakes and cheese which is bought at local shops.

She prefers to make porridge with milk, but water will suffice.

Ms Dotchin added: “You can always boil it from a stream.”

Her bathroom habits are equally DIY, and she said: “I dig a hole.”

Ms Dotchin is devastated by the littering she has seen over the years and said Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, is somewhere she finds “shameful” due to the amount of rubbish.

She said: “It’s appalling, in particular single used barbecues which are left lying all over the place.

“Cumbernauld is the fly-tipping capital of Britain.

“There are some lovely people there who let me camp, but some of it is so disgusting and shameful.”

Campervans on single track roads have also become a more persistent problem.

She said: “Drivers just didn’t seem to know how wide they were, I was forever just about getting swept off the roads by them.”

The right to roam has helped with countryside access, but she said: “There are still some locked gates or little side gates that you can’t get a horse with packs on through.”

For emergencies she carries an old mobile phone as the battery lasts six weeks.

Ms Dotchin said: “I keep it switched off and just ring out to ring up landowners to get gates unlocked or to warn people when I’m coming but sometimes the trouble is getting a signal.”

During the foot and mouth crisis in 2001 she went on bicycle instead.

She said: “I covered many more miles with the dog in a pannier but it was not the same, I missed my horse.”

In recognition of her independent spirit, and many years of long distance trekking, she received The British Horse Society lifetime achievement award last year, which she said was “a bit of a surprise.”

During her travels she witnesses rutting deer and stags fighting in the autumn, and foxes.

She said: “There is always something interesting happening and there is never a dull moment.

“I will probably be stopped one of these days.”

Dance with me ~ John Shelby x Reader

Summary: Three little words, with a lot of meaning and implications depending on how and where they are said (Fluff)

Note: This is the version with John. Here are those with Arthur and Tommy if you are curious. And here is my [Masterlist]

I do not consent to my work being translated, copied or posted elsewhere on this platform or any other. This hasn't been beta'd so I apologise for typos or mistakes

Warning: Alcohol consumption, otherwise none. As I am an adult, all my writing I share is unless explicitly stated for adults (18/21+). Your media consumption is your own responsibility. 

Wordcount: 1347 words

It was a warm night, but it would have been a warm night even if it had been December and not the middle of July, and not just because of the fires. It was the people that made it warm, the sound of their voices, the melody of their songs and what they carried in their hearts. 

People of all ages had gathered around, some chatting, some dancing. Some were sitting around the fires, some standing in small groups, or leaning against the trees or the wagons. Some children were already asleep while others were still running wild. There were no arbitrary rules tonight, to keep them all apart. Everyone went where they wanted, said what they wanted, did what they wanted.

The drink in her cup tasted more of smoke than anything else, but she drank all the same, before setting it down on the ground beside her. 

John picked it up and took a sip as his other hand drawing lazy circles on her bare arm and the back of her neck, pushing her hair out of the way. 

Some of the younger children had had fun with her hair earlier, tying in ribbons and adding flowers. John had taken one of them and added it to his shirt pocket with a cheeky grin, making it look almost comical - his old worn white undershort, with rolled up sleeves, and then a flower tucked in front of his chest.

(Y/N) leaned into him as they listened to one of the many tales of Johnny Doggs. If one believed him, he had lived a century, travelled all five continents and met everyone, from Queen Victoria to the Emperor of China. 

Now he was telling another story, of travels on the continent. 

"...there I was, thinking we'd found the best place to sleep and because the night was warm just like this one, we slept outside." He explained as he walked around the fire, sparks hitting his trousers. 

"I was just having a particularly good dream which involved a woman I once met in Sicily when I suddenly woke up only to find a bull staring in front of me, eyes as red as that fire here as his hooves worked the ground."

The children jumped and yelped as he spun to face them, with his best imitation of a bull's snarl. 

He soaked their excitement up like a sponge and lowered his voice. 

"Now, you've seen bulls, but not like that, you haven't. His fur was black as hell itself and he had horns longer than me legs and sharper than a spearhead. It was the biggest bull I've ever seen- with a head the size of the back of that wagon."

"You're the biggest bull head I've ever seen.", One of the Lee boys heckled. 

Johnny's head snapped around, his face burning right red. 

"Let's hope it wasn't that red when the bull saw him.", John whispered into her ear. 

The joke wasn't even that funny, but it was made funnier by the drink and the late- or maybe early - hour and the fact that John had said it. 

Johnny continued his story about the encounter with the bull, but (Y/N) no longer listened. Instead she leaned her head against John's chest and let her eyes flutter close. To some people, home might be a place, a village, a street, a city or even a house. But to her, home had always been a feeling, a warmth independent of temperature that managed to keep the rain and the storm at bay, even if there were no walls and no windows, that saw her through the coldest winter and brightened up her darkest nights.

This was home. 

She would have fallen asleep here too, in his arms, with the smells of smoke and the sounds of song around her. 

But John wouldn't have it, bringing his fingers up to play on her ribs as if they were the tiles of a piano, coaxing breathless giggles from her lips as she tried to move away. 

"Getting weak already?", He wanted to know. 

"Never!", (Y/N) argued, turning in his arms. "Never ever."

"Good.", He grinned, before slapping his hands on his thighs. 

The world seemed to shift as he got up, pulling her up with him, making her feel every drop of alcohol she had drunk. 

"What are you doing?", She wanted to know, as he pulled her away from the fire and Johnny Dogg's tales.  

The grass tickled the soles of her feet, as her toes dug into the natural ground. 

"Dance with me.", He asked. 

"What?"

Walking backwards, he faced her, grinning from ear to ear. 

"I want to dance. Dance with me."

"John, we're both too drunk to dance.", She laughed. "We'll twist an ankle."

"Like I said, weak.", He teased. 

She took it as a challenge, but she also knew that it was what he had intended.

Her wide skirts brushed against her legs as she walked, floating with every step, every move and every gust of wind, as if they had a mind of their own. 

With a slight tug, he pulled her towards him. She stumbled and would have fallen if she hadn't crashed right into his chest, making both of them laugh. 

"You good to dance?", He asked, his voice softer now, brushing some loose strands of hair out of her face. 

"Better than you.", She hissed with a grin. "Drunk or sober."

John bit his lip as he shook his head, half hiding that lopsided grin of his. 

Arm in arm, they reached the spot where the music played loudly, but they still had enough room to properly dance, even if they might have swayed slightly getting there. 

The songs that were played here weren't the ballads of the campfires, but faster, cheerier tunes that captured her body and soul and brought a smile to her lips. John and her faced each other, almost as if ready for a duel and for one second they both held their breath. Then his hand found her waist and her hands found his and they began to let the music move them. 

There were dances of course, with corsets and ballgowns, with tight shoes and even tighter rules, but those weren't real dances, not truly. They were rehearsed, almost like a play. But dancing, proper dancing, had to be more than that- it had to be something like this, where one could feel the music running through your body, caressing the depth of your soul. 

Where there were no rules to follow except the one to do what felt right. 

It had to be like this, with the wind in her hair, tugging slightly at her skirt, with his hands on her and hers on him- the only steady thing in a world where sounds and sights and smells blended together to create a swirl around them. 

In between the music and the other voices, she could hear his laughter ringing through, and his whistling too, and perhaps he'd hear her own. 

(Y/N) did not know whether it was her that tripped or him but they ended up flush against each other once more. Her chest was heaving and his cheeks were burning red. But the grin they shared was the same. 

"The whole world's spinning!", She gasped breathlessly, gripping his arms. 

"Then we'll just have to spin in the other direction!", He suggested and before she could do anything but laugh, his hands tightened around her wrists. They both began to run in their little circle- round and round and round, leaning both their chests back and only holding their balance because of each other. 

This has to be what flying feels like, she thought as she leaned her head back. What freedom feels like.

(Y/N) closed her eyes and allowed herself feel- feel the wind and cold night air, the occasional spread of warmth when a gust carried over some heat from a fire, but most importantly felt him. 

The warmth of his skin, that seemed to trickle through her own reaching the depth of her bones, the rough skin of his fingers that caressed her the way only he could - the strength of his grip. 

They were going fast and faster, almost faster than the world itself, and perhaps they would stumble. Perhaps they would even fall, but she knew, deep down in the depth of her heart, that no matter what happened, she could count on John Shelby to never let her go. 

End.

Thank you for reading. I'd be very grateful for feedback or comments of any kind.

Hello! I have arequest for YANDERE Tony Stark x Y/N! If you don't mind to write about a touch starved reader, who wants to cling on to him forever. How would he react? How would he deal with the reader? Thx a lot if you write! Love your work darling! Keep up with the great work!💗💖

[Warnings: Yandere Themes *Obviously*, Give Tony all the love he deserves it, sweet and fluffy]

Tony actually wouldn’t really mind that you cling to him and constantly want to be around him, to be fair it’s kind of a best case scenario for him, being rather touch starved himself.

If he needs to be working he will sit with you on his lap so that you are still touching him but he has the mobility to tinker with things, the computer being able to be directed with his voice so no contact was necessary.

When it comes to being out in public he would likely be the one clinging to you, wanting to make sure that you are safe and protected at all times, especially with paparazzi constantly hounding him, and you by extension.

Not to mention the ever growing list of enemies he himself has made, added to the never ending list that the Avengers made on a near daily basis, so he would want to keep you out of harm's way as often as possible.

During a party you will be on his arm the entire evening, coming with you even to use the restroom not wanting to let you out of his sight, partially for your sake because he knows how you get anxious without him, but mostly for his own sanity.

People might comment on it but the ones you see everyday don’t find it so weird anymore because they can see how the dynamic just works for the two of you, each of you enjoying the physical contact and there truly was no harm in it.

The only exception to the rule is when he has to go on missions or there is an outbreak of a larger event that needed to be dealt with, in those cases you usually were left with Pepper or Happy depending on the situation.

Mostly to ensure your safety but also to keep you company, hating to leave your side for any reason but it was unavoidable at times, contacting you the best that he can to keep you in the loop and not worrying about him.

Understanding fully well that he was going to have to clear his schedule for a few days after his return knowing that you would both be in need of a recharge where you were the only person he was in the presence of.

That was one thing that you taught him was that he needed time to become Tony Stark again instead of Iron Man, as he gets so focused on his job that it takes over his entirety, something that he allowed to happen for far too long.

Constantly feeling run down, nervous, burnt out, longing for so much more until you came into his life, teaching him to listen to his gut for more than just saving others, but to take care of himself.

Another thing was how to forgive himself, acknowledging that he can’t be perfect all the time no matter how hard he tries to be, sometimes it’s enough that he is still breathing in that moment.

In return he taught you that it is okay to communicate how you are feeling, what you are needing or wanting, and just how to accept help when you need it after having to rely on being independent for so long.

Not to mention how to occasionally indulge in the finer things in life, having to set a limit because he would have you showered in the most expensive options for anything and everything if you let him.

Tony has to admit his favorite kind of mood you get in is when you are incredibly tired as you literally cling to him like a koala, snuggling into the crook of his neck slightly falling asleep as he carries you to the bedroom the two of you share.

Chuckling when you wouldn’t even let go so he could lay you down first, pulling him so he came crashing down nearly on top of you, reaffirming your position gripping onto him softly.

Shuffling his jeans off, struggling to do so with one hand, tossing them onto the floor, thanking the Gods that he was in casual attire and not having to fight to remove a three piece suit or something of that nature.

Pushing your hair away from your face as he watched your chest rise and fall evenly, your features calm and relaxed as if you didn’t have a care in the world, to be fair with him there you truly didn’t.

Placing a gentle kiss on the top of your forehead, pulling you even closer to his form as he let himself start to drift off in the loving embrace he had come to crave more than water or air.

Loving you was the easiest thing he had ever come to do, each day proving that there is no limit to how much you can come to care for someone, as it grew more and more as time went on, only getting stronger by the second.

[Thank you so much for this idea, I thought it was really sweet and I do think that it would be perfect for Tony. I hope that you enjoy it, and that it was what you were looking for lovely! <3]
