I almost forgot it's #PortfolioDay !

Hi I'm Andrea or NumenSkog, an artist based in the mountains of Spain who loves creatures, aliens, robots, spaceships and historically correct (or at least plausible) armour. I'm (again) a full-time illustrator/concept artist with zbrush/3D skills and although right now my work queue is full, I'm always on the lookout for interesting projects to work on in the future!

“Why is my Assigned Voicemail at Work post blowing up?”

*checks notes*

“Aw fuck, sempai noticed me.”

LMAFO Here's one to add to your pile:

I answered an unknown number my mom's cell phone for her while she was driving with "Hello, you have reached the phone of [Gallus Mom]. She's not available at the moment, may I take a message?"

My Uncle Todd, who knows both of us: Oh cool one of those AI bots, didn't know they made those for cell phones- Tell her Todd called!

Me: Hi Uncle Todd!

Uncle Todd: JESUS FUCK-

Me: No, it's your sister's offspring, [Gallus]. Mom's driving, what's up?

Uncle Todd: You oughter go work for Siri or somethin' I thought you were a Artificial Intelligence whatsit!

Me: No, I'm Organically Stupid.

Sensations

For the lovely people of tumblr that do not yet have an ao3 and for the approval of @aliasrocket and @elegant-fleuret I love both your stuff so much please notice me sempai’s. Part 1 Rating: Explicit Tension boils over between you and Rocket culminating in a misunderstanding that will certainly change the vibe. The reader is an AFAB non-binary. Telling Rocket to “Go fuck himself” was probably a bad thing in hindsight. Perhaps it was a step too far to lob a small Rocket Raccoon hand puppet at him exclaiming “Here to help you with that” and slamming the door. Even worse was engaging in your favorite addiction without making sure the door was securely locked. Karma had to be the driving cause as to why you found yourself naked on your bed, knees held apart by a collapsible spreader bar and hands held securely in handcuffs on either corner of your bed. The restraints did not guarantee that you were about to be in danger, no that honor went to the man between your legs.

Rocket Raccoon drinking you in like you were going to be a feast that he would enjoy at his preferred pace and that pace alone. The lecherous smile that slowly crept over his face was meant to disguise his intentions but it did not for it never reached his eyes. His eyes were still brimming with rage with the scene he witnessed when he barged into your room just a bit earlier and what he saw you doing to yourself. You were fairly sure he temporarily drugged you; it was the only real explanation to the restraints and the ball gag that was currently keeping you from uttering a single coherent word. You could see in the reflection of the mirror across the bed that the ball gag was orange and it made sense it was a color he was fond of.

“You’re probably wondering what’s going on I’m assuming?” The words rolled out of his mouth with Rocket letting the last word languish over his tongue a moment before escaping. Somehow life had afforded Rocket the blessing of a voice that held an accent that made him sound like an old New York gangster from years before just a bit of class along with the vulgarities. And it was fucking hot.

You hated being an audiophile.

You nodded wordlessly at him hoping to get whatever payback he was after over with because you could not have him tell the others what he saw. They’d never want to be around you again if they found out.

“The only thing that made sense when you were babbling all the bullshit when I came in was that you did it cause you can’t feel right now so I’m going to help you feel”

Rocket was taking what you said earlier literally about your ability to feel the sensation of touch instead of your ham handed way of explaining that you were dissociating again. How terrified you were.

Rocket places a hand down on your shoulder slowly rubbing up and down its length “We’ll start slowly you know wake the body up and all” he started trailing his hands over your collarbone, your sides and just ghosting his touch over your breasts.

Your breath caught in your throat, it would have even if not for the gag and you feel as your body grew flush with nipples slowly starting to harden. Were you really that touch starved?

Rocket broke the silence “I know you find me sexy anyways” You shook your head no but it looked pathetic at best.

“You told me during that drunk Truth or Dare game Quill made us do, remember?”

Fuck, you drank too much that night to recall it clearly.

Damn your Demisexuality.

And Tequila.

Rocket grasped your chin causing you to give him direct eye contact “I’m not going to hurt you but I’m still pissed about that puppet and even more so with what you were doing earlier” his voice got louder and angrier causing you to flinch a little before he settled your face in between his hands.

“I’m going to show you what pleasure feels like” Rocket took a hand to gently cup the back of my head before gently beginning to nibble up the column of your neck. The sensation makes your head swim dizzy, delicious and desperate for any kind touch. Yes you let the Guardians hug you but it was so rare that you let anyone touch your skin it felt too intimate to do. To summon up that kind of trust again.

“I’m going to continue now, nod your head if that’s a’ight” You could feel your head bob up and down in agreement as he nibbled, choosing to continue his actions while waiting for your response. He could easily see you nodding reflected in the mirror across from your bed.

Rocket continued his assault on your body showering your neck and just behind your ears with an assortment of nibbles and kisses. It felt so intoxicating that you didn’t even notice him deftly slipping the gag off your mouth. He finally kissed you after what felt like an eternity of torture and it was exhilarating soft at first then bold tongues dueling for control. He was winning as he gave your tongue a hard suck just lightly dragging his canines over it. You didn’t mind losing. It only got better when you realized that the reason you were feeling his hands on your arse gently kneading the flesh while also feeling something delightful on your breasts was because he was using his tail.

The soft fur of his tail was slowly dragged over the tops of your breasts gently teasing the nipples. You could feel him smirk into the kiss as you let out a small mewling sound as he continued his ministrations. Rocket pulled away from the kiss deciding to continue his journey of exploration of your naked form as you protested missing his lips against yours. The protests swiftly got swallowed by the lured moans that came out of your mouth once Rocket’s own mouth found its way around one of your breasts enveloping with its sinfully wet warmth. Sucking hard pulling the soft plumpness of your breast further into his mouth lightly grazing your nipple with his fangs. He made sure that the other breast did not feel forgotten kneading it slowly in time to the rhythm of the sucking of your breast.

Rockets tail had now made place between your open thighs gently stroking at the sensitive skin in between. You could already feel the tip of his tail start to grow damp with the evidence of your arousal. You felt so overwhelmed with sensation making you feel that delicious buzz you got once you had your fix.

A loud pop distracted you from your thoughts as Rocket had finished feasting on your breasts a trail of saliva trailed from his mouth from your tender nipple. You felt as if he kissed down the rest of your torso before getting to where you needed him most.

Rocket drank in the sight of your bare pussy openly ogling the flushed lips of your dripping labia and clitoros that was swollen and painfully desperate for some form of stimulation. Rocket hovered mere inches away gently blowing on your pussy causing your cliteros to throb painfully with need. He took a moment to inhale the scent that your dripping folds were letting off.

“Oh yeah” He enunciated the phrase in the same way he did when he was able to get his hands around a big gun. Rocket started to gently rub your outer lips lazily drawing circles around your opening but avoiding touching your clit.

You were sloppy with need and you required so much more from him. Needed him to keep touching you. He said he was going to show you pleasure and he was making good on that word but not quite giving you the release you deserve and it was driving you crazy contending with the liquid fire of lust pounding into each one of your cells relentlessly.

Rocket was enjoying his exploration of your body and the moans that kept tumbling out of your mouth, the loose whorish moans that made Rocket stiffen with arousal. Rocket just needed to stick to the plan flooding you with so much sensation that you never forget what it feels like to feel. Rocket had taken a scan of you while passed out to confirm that there was no biological reason why you couldn’t feel so he figured you needed a hard reset every once and a while which he was happy to deliver. So Rocket would take you from one spectrum of pleasure to the next until you were begging him to slid inside you then he would start the next part of his plan. He didn’t forget about that puppet you threw at him and he would make you pay for that later.

Rocket’s ears perked up when he could hear the soft tumble of pleas falling out of your mouth.

“Rocket, please” Was the best effort that you could get out of your mouth, and Rocket was delighted to see his plan was working. There you were chest heaving with exertion, the glistening of sweat over your body and the delicious smells you gave off it was making him hungry.

“You want me to touch this?” Rocket ghosts over your clit watching as you arched, smirking as you nodded your head up and down with rapid enthusiasm. He slowly starts to apply pressure onto your clit a bit firmer than before and that’s all it takes for the tension to finally snap as you cum for the first time of the night. Your head was swimming with the aftereffects of the orgasm as you just made out Rocket asking “No one’s ever spent this much time on you huh?” He started pressing firmer circles around your clit relishing in the bucking of your hips, the way you bit your lip as you moaned and how your pupils had taken over your irises fully. Rocket kept rubbing away at your pussy alternating between long slow circles and quick rapid ones bringsingyou to another additional two orgasms.

“You look so pretty like this don’t cha”

You breathed out a weak “Ah ha” in response it was getting so hard to stay focused you were so sensitive.

“So fucking pretty all pink and wet for me and I bet pretty tasty”

You couldn’t figure out the implications of his statement before he made the intended action of sliding his long tongue around your labia, fully overwhelming your cunt with pleasure.

Rocket was lost in the sensation of your vaginal walls gripping him tightly as he tongue fucked you open his muzzle slipping in just slightly. The thickness of his tongue added an extra bit of delight because it made so much more pressure behind the stroking of your g-spot. You did think that not anything could feel better than this till Rocket inserted some of his fingers into you to start pumping away.

“Do you like this Kit” the nickname stirring something deep within your belly that was already full with desire.

“Ah Ha” He started to pump his fingers faster, scissoring his fingers together to get the most reaction from you.

“I want a Yes or No. You can do that for me can’t you Kit”

“Yes” You shouted out as you rode through the fifth orgasm that you had since Rocket turned his attention to your pussy. Rocket continued to feast on you like your pussy contained the last bit of moisture that he would ever find to survive, seeming to attempt to suck your dripping cunt dry. He rode you through an additional five orgasms before sliding up your painfully sensitive body to your ear.

“You know I said I was going to show you how to feel and don’t think I’ve forgotten about the puppet”

You felt him grip the back of your head painfully, the stinging nerves helping to steady the foggy state of your orgasm filled mind.

“Now I’m going to be nice and show you what pain and pleasure have in common”

He held your chin in place forcing you to keep eye contact with his beautiful brown eyes now glowing with lust.

“You’re going to be my Lil Fuck Puppet aren’t you to make up for all your bullshit right?”

Without skipping a beat you answered “Yes”

“Oh Yeah”

Y'know, since it's 🎃spooky month...💀

I want to share with you all some horror games/visual novels that I greatly enjoy.

(Recommendations under the cut. This will be Part 1 of my recommendations)

Emerald Wasp is a very interesting game. The story takes place in the 1980s and revolves around two men who get trapped in a supposedly abandoned bunker. They discover the horrible truth of what went on there after it was no longer used by the military, and they have a run-in with a former soldier who was thought to be dead after a military operation in the 1960s (I think?) ended in the disappearance of everyone in his squad.

Anyways, my description can't really do this game justice. But I wanted to recommend it for the spooky month. There is a lot of disturbing imagery, so take the time to read the content warnings if you do decide to play it. I highly recommend that you be 18+ to play because of this imagery.

The only thing that I found difficult with this game was the walk controls, which are a little fidgety sometimes (and there is a mechanic where you have to manually use a lighter in your inventory to see sometimes, but things like that are common in RPG maker games, so I didn't find it bothersome.)

Fatal Focus (by the ever awesome Catsket!)

is a psychological horror visual novel (with an emphasis on the psychological aspect) where you move to a small town and you have a hobby in photography. One day you look up some photography events that might be happening in the near future and end up noticing that there will be a photography walk on that day. When you go to the meeting place, you end up being the only person that shows up besides the walk's host: Adonis, who shows you a side of the town (and yourself) that is more disturbing than you might expect.

This is yet another fairly disturbing game, although it is more in the descriptions than in the imagery. There are descriptions of rot, maggots and even cannibalism, but the atmosphere of this game is immensely creepy and beautiful. It's perfect for a late-night spooky story session.

If you like yanderes and spooky atmospheres, then I recommend A Date With Denial

It's another visual novel, and this time you awaken in a restaurant across from a charming, yet oddly terrifying man who calls you his "muse" and claims you accepted a dinner date with him. But you can't remember anything. Depending on the choices you make, you can get one of three endings and even discover how you ended up where you are. Although, the strange man who calls you his muse continues to remain a mystery. (Hey, at least he's cute and shows off some nice cleavage... that makes up for it, right?)

This visual novel is a prequel/spinoff to Batter-Sempai's other visual novels: Be My Muse and Let Me Remind You(this one doesn't have a demo yet). All of which feature the handsome Zecharias Mnemosyne as the yandere love interest.

While I've only played A Date With Denial so far, I really adore Zecharias and I found the concept behind him and these stories to be a lot of fun.

My Ange is still a demo at the moment.

It is another yandere horror visual novel, in which you have lost your job and moved to another city to get away from everything for a while. Unfortunately, your new apartment comes with its own troubles. It's rundown and the previous tenant had seemingly run away, if you are to believe what you've been told. There may also be something very wrong with your neighbor. He seems nice enough, but there's something off about him.

I just really liked the idea behind this one. The feeling of isolation is so good, and Noah is fucking adorable even if he is creepy. I love character designs that include too-large and very dark eyes, especially with the creepy little smile Noah gives. Plus, depending on your choices you can get one of three endings... and all of them really will leave you with a sense of dread. This VN has a lot of potential, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Domestic Dread is also a yandere visual novel demo.

It is another VN that centers around having lost some of your memories. Except, this time, it is due to an accident you seem you have gotten into the night prior. Your best friend, Marcelo, claims that your boyfriend had nearly killed you and he must pay for it.

The manipulation in this one is very well done. Marcelo is charming, and handsome, and you can't fully remember him or your boyfriend... so it's very difficult for you to make sound decisions.

This is also another VN with multiple endings, and at least one of them is pretty damn gruesome. I recommend reading the content warnings. But this was created by the amazing Epykslion and their partner Leo, who make an excellent team. Leo's art is gorgeous, and Lion has wonderful knowledge of the yandere genre. So if you love yanderes and are 18+ (for the disturbing/violent imagery), then you're in for a good time.

Anyhow, that is Part One of my spooky/horror games recommendations for October. I will mostly try to recommend indie games, although I may let nostalgia take over and pop in a couple of old PS1/PS2 games in there, too.

Oh dear thought for RodiClash. Rodimus is close to Optimus's age. What if he's older than Thunderclash by a good bit? Thunders hasn't been braging at Rodimus he's just trying to impress him. Swerve hosted Anime night for the movies. A tipsy Thunderclash passes Rodimus on his way back to his berth and accidentally blurts out "sempai please notice me." Has a tipsy breakdown during Roddy's double take. Thunderclash is asking Rodimus how to impress him. Cause he keeps trying and failing. It's what he's wanting to do for along time.

Rodimus is looking at him so strangely after that. He was not expecting his catty "Why would you want to impress me?" To be met with an ernest "Cause you're so pretty, and smart and I want to have your babies."

Anime Night

You know what that's interesting that Thunderclash decided to get drunk during anime night. Because I'm trying to imagine Clashy as a weeb and that's kind of hilarious. Aww, yes, he's having a Big Confession Moment.

ohh thunders

Rodimus is befuddled, like??? The Perfect Autobot ™️, wanting to impress him?

sdfg and yes he does, Thunderclash thinks you're so pretty roddie and you two's paintjobs match in such interesting ways.

10 Best Ship Pairings in the New Pokemon Game

Here's ten pairings of named NPCs in Pokemon Scarlet / Violet, with some prompts and headcanons on what might make a good story for each! This post is rated M (but like, a softer, milder M) and will have some minor spoilers. No one is being shipped with a pokemon and there are no adult/minor relationships on this list (I think? It's hard to know some peoples' ages.)

Eri / Carmen - These two are obviously very close. Carmen is the only one who can talk Eri down and yet is also willing to put her body inbetween danger and her leader. It's adorable! They seem to be in the 16-18 range but I can see them getting married and running a business together and raising a whole family of baby Riolu. It might not be all sunshine and rainbows though--they do have a fraught backstory which would be interesting to explore.

Arven / Katy - They share a real passion for food! Katy appears to be a couple years older, which is fine, because Arven clearly needs a bit of mothering to be his best self. With Mabostiff in their supporting cast, these two cooking anime protags could share a fluffy romance that would be a delight to read about.

Raifort / Saguaro - He gets pegged. Ok, I'll expand on that. These are, like Barbie and Ken, two people who are so gender conforming that they tumble right over the bar into queer camp. Saguaro talks about struggling with the performativity of his masculinity, and I can see him wanting to experiment with a (incredibly gorgeous) strong woman like Raifort. She's very in control of her classroom, isn't she? Now, the way people act outside the bedroom is not necessarily indicative of the way they act in intimate moments. However, consider: he gets pegged. Argument made.

Geeta / Nemona - Big "notice me sempai" vibes between these two. Nemona is clearly at the end of her education, probably around 17-18 years old, and Geeta's face and frame puts her in her twenties--though her butch confidence and sharp fashion sense maybe makes her seem older. At any rate, the tension is there! A real power couple.

Mela / Iono - A crack ship in that they don't interact in canon, however, these two would be absolutely perfect for each other. Mela's snarky attitude would interact perfectly with Iono's cheerful personna and SPARK. They share off-the wall fashion styles and high energy combat styles, each prefering to be in charge of their own little realm. The fights would be epic. The make-ups would sizzle.

Clavell / Rika - I know what you're thinking. "Rika is clearly a butch lesbian." You are correct. This isn't about attraction and it certainly isn't about love or romance. It's about two people in positions of authority who clearly enjoy power and structure. It's about mind games and taking on different roles. It's dark and it's cruel and no one needs to know (except me. I need to know everything.)

Tulip / Dendra - Dendra lost a bet and now has to do whatever Tulip wants. This is classic fanfic trope territory. Please, I beg you.

Penny / Cassiopeia - Without getting too much into story spoilers, there is potential for something intricate and dark in this pairing, a sort of psychological exploration. Penny is always on her own and she needs someone who understands her. She can be nervous where Cassiopeia is decisive. And they have a lot in common. There's potential for love, hate, angst, and maybe even peace. Someday.

Hassel / Brassius - Two high drama art-gays who get overly emotional about EVERYTHING. If you haven't been through all the classes yet, I suggest doing so--these two have a passionate friendship and are practically proclaiming love in the scene they share. They inspire and aggravate each other. It's beautiful.

Jacq / Grusha - They don't have a ton in common except for being around the same age, being successful, and being underexplored in the story. I suspect Jacq is the one who gives you the Shiny Charm (not there yet, but I'm guessing) and I can see Grusha being interested in that. And I like the snowy aesthetic. If I was writing it, it'd be set at Christmas. <3

Nero, I know that's you, you asshole. I understand my WOL has never seen you without your helmet on, but I know that's you! You're not fooling anyone with that mask.

WOL should have had gone get Cid real quick and gone: Does that remind you of anyone?

Cid: Oh! That's my wife! He's alive!

Kudos on not getting killed by Ultima, we all know your alliance lies less with the empire and more with making "sempai, notice me". And by sempai I mean Cid, your "sempai, notice me" is strong, Nero, strong. The moment you did that discourse I went "Sempai! Notice me!". Cute, annoying, but cute. Maybe he'll notice you by the end of the Crystal Tower, either that or we finish what Ultima didnt finish for us.

Gosh, I know you scrammed before the explosion, but if you survived, are we also gonna get a Gaius comeback or that guy done and gone? Is he also gonna show up with a mask? Heck, even if he does show up without a mask I won't be able to recognize him... I have no idea how that asshole looks like under that helmed! I know we saw him get squashed, but this is FF. He may still return. No one that should stay dead stays in this franchise.

[arc-misadventures]

hello~ I saw your post and I couldn't help but smile when I saw what you put because, I was just thinking about what to send you, "keep smiling while you write this", just because it's you I'll send you another 3 or 4 requests between today and tomorrow I hope you enjoy them . "There are those who say that there are fates worse than death, others that there is no worse fate than oblivion, but sometimes the worst fate can be when death and oblivion go hand in hand".

The Ravings of a Dying Man

Cinder: Ha… You call this a fight?

Tyrian: I finally got to play with him, and he barely put up a fight. So… Disappointing…

Emerald: Well, he did manage to hold off all four of us for a time.

Mercury: Only because of of the bastards damn semblance!

Emerald: Agreed, that was one tanky semblance.

Cinder: Forget about that; lets get going before we…

Before the group could make their way to leave they all stop as they heard the crazed laughter of a supposed dead man.

Cinder: Tell me, what does a dead man find so funny?

Jaune: Hehehehe… ha… That depends: will you answer a dying man’s last wish if you will?

Cinder: …

Cinder: Very well… What is it?

Mercury: Your kidding? He’s dying, why should we honour his last dying wish, bullshit?

Tyrian: Its common curtesy that’s why, boy!

Emerald: That’s rich coming from you…

Cinder: Enough! What is it boy?

Jaune: People say their are fates worse than death, or oblivion. Some say a combination of the two is worse of all… What do you say…? I’ve always wondered what other’s thoughts of that, more so you lot than others… hehehe…

Cinder: Dying regrets?

Jaune: Yes… (Cough cough!) Everyone has one, what are yours?

Tyrian: Mine would be failing in my, Goddess wishes. Oh the shame that would be upon me!!!

Mercury: No surprise there…

Emerald: And, like yours would be any better.

Mercury: Hey, who doesn’t want to get down with a big chested babe?

Emerald: Oh, oh gods, it’s worse than I thought…

Mercury: Like you can cone up with anything else besides, “Sempai notice me~!”

Emerald: You better shut the hell up before I cut out your tongue!

Mercury: Make me bitch!

Emerald: Oh that is…?!

Cinder: That’s ebough, both of you behave, or else…

Emerald: Sorry, Cinder…

Mercury: Pfft… Ass kisser

Jaune: Ah hehehe…

Cinder: What’s is your last dying regret, boy?

Jaune: I asked… (Cough, cough cough!) I asked you first…

Cinder: I will not die with any last regrets. Nor will I die by the hands of you boy… So what are your dying regrets?

Jaune: Hehe… Well, I would say it’s dying knowing I failed my task…

Cinder: Than I am glad we could give you your last dying…

Jaune: However… hehehe… Thanks to you I found something better… all the more sweeter than dying with any regrets…

Tyrian: And, what would that be? Hmmm~?

Jaune: Hahahaa… Dying with the grim satisfaction of a job well done!

Murcery: What the hell is he talking about?

Jaune: Hahaha! You idiots! I wasn’t fighting you to win!

Cinder: What were you fighting for then…?

Jaune: I was fighting to buy them time to escape! I was fight to prevent you from escaping!!!

Before, Cinder or anyone else could ask the dying man what he meant by that, Jaune raised his hand to show a detonator he held with his grasp. All could hear the pin drop of a click as he activated the trigger, and all around them the walls shone to life with dozens of explosive charges imbedded into the cavern walls.

As the blinking of bombs light start to go faster, and faster. And, yet, all Cinder could think of in their last moments, was the satisfied laughter of a dead man.

Do you have a fashion inspo blog?

Well, although I'm a millennial and technically from the generation that made blogging popular I have never been into fashion blog like that

Even when I was studying fashion I was more into reading magazines/industry news than blogs

It didn't stop me from digging a particular individual style though. And on that aspect, as far as I know, Toru Inagawa has been my biggest style crush. I discovered him because he was often featured into TUNE magazine (streetstyle magazine) and I immediately fell in love lol. I'm a sucker for everything oversize so I quickly became obsessed with him and his pants and knitwear

Fun fact: I am such a fan of him that when I went to Tokyo I was adamant in going to his second hand shop (he's the owner) and bought gorgeous oversize denim pants there. The same day I made an Instagram story tagging him and he looked at it 😳💗 Biggest "Sempai noticed me" moment!!! lmaoo

Toru in his younger/streetstyle days:

him lately (he's becoming finer tbh 👀)

he's super hot idc lol

For female inspo it definitely was Tsubasa Masuwaka. She peaked big time during her gyaru days ; her way of coordinating sporty items (beanies, varsity tees & socks) with more fashionable pieces (denim, cowboy boots) has always fascinated me

But beside her sense of style, the way she conducted herself, being so confident in her taste and how to properly convey it in the shootings she was featured in was very inspiring.

There's this documentary about her on youtube ; even if you don't understand Japanese you can have a glimpse of her style and allure (starting from the 4:00 mark). Keep in mind this was 15 years ago, so this style might come off as kinda dated but even today I think she still she had that visionary je ne sais quoi which totally explains why she is to this day the queen of a 10 millions yen empire lol Tsubasa has always been a smart businesswoman

I remember obsessively trying to buy that exact same kind beanie at New Look. Tsu chan really got young wannabe gyaru me on a chokehold lol

Today, now that gyaru fell off and she getting older, her style became pretty underwhelming (it a hit or miss really...). I'm currently reading her book "Tsubasa REAL" and the fashion chapter is okay, but it's nowhere as "WOW" as it was back when she got a big break as a gyaru dokusha model. It's interesting to see her rocking designer brand more than she ever did (in that documentary she's making a Shimamura haul - basically the equivalent of Primark in Japan) but....she never manages to pull it off and always looks like she's cosplaying

left: wearing Burberry and MiuMiu, right: wearing Prada and Gucci

Though it seems more like a global movement in the reiwa era, which is more beauty than fashion oriented(?)

I replied to an ask where I more thoroughly elaborated on the whole difference of era in Japan but to put it bluntly, reiwa is much more conservative and "safe" (styl & make up ise) so it makes sense that Tsubasa is going along and toned down her style?

I find fascinating how her makeup style perfectly represent the Heisei vs Reiwa aesthetic shift

Heisei: glamorous/big hair, tanned/glolden skin, heavy eye makeup & eyelashes, thin eyebrows, glossy lips, shimmer...

Reiwa: pale skin, little to no eye makeup, strong eyebrow, 涙袋/ namidabukuro (drawn or surgically enhanced tearbag to look more youthful)..

The last day I was (re)watching her video of listing all her plastic surgery and she admitted messing up her face with hyaluronic acid because she was so insecure about her big round shaped head, and used hyaluronic acid to have a sharper face, but the hyaluronic acid eventually migrated on her cheeks which made her face even rounder 💀 so now she's trying to fix it with HIFU (which is some sort of electrosound muscle treatment...). She lowkey sounds addicted but that's how far narcissism will get you.... (and it seems well ingrained in the family since she said her own parents told her when she was still in middle school to pinch her nose with a clothespin 1 hour a day to have a high nose bridge (which she did) 💀 and when people clown her for having weird shaped nostril she said it hurt her feelings because that's her "natural features"....like?? bestie, maybe if you didn't mess up your nose cartilage during your growth development your nostrils wouldn't look so weird. There's nothing 'natural' about it 😬)

This woman started getting plastic surgery very young (in her early 20s with eyelid surgery) and did so continuously up until now (she's in her mid 30s) so that explains why she's looking so uncanny when she doesn't have her pictures monitored/filtered to hell and back. Tsubasa has the same syndrome as Kylie Jenner, which is women trying to fit into a very specific beauty aesthetic that only looks good on Instagram but in reality looks super uncanny.

Undertale headcanon: How many monsters are in Underground?

In the game, we can see and talk with many different NPC and read a lot of information about monsters' race, but for some of the questions, we still haven't answers because they're not that important for gameplay. (But it doesn't mean we haven't any interest in it.)

Now it's time for something simple (unlike question about monsters' age where we mostly haven't any information) - how many monsters actually are?

And the answer is between 320 and 1500.

But why?

First of all, let's start with two possible counterarguments:

During Mettaton's battle, we can have a ratings of the show to above 12000 (if he still has legs).

We, as players, can explore only a small part of the Underground; the cities that we can see in the background are pretty big, and the capital, for example, look like it can accommodate a lot of monsters.

But they have a good explaining.

1. Mettaton's rating is not the number of viewers.

In the game, it's never mentioned as the number of people; moreover, Mettaton has not so many fans:

4000 monsters on the start of the final show are definitely too much. (Do you remember how many of them watched one of the previous show?)

More likely, rating is a viewers reaction - the number of likes and/or positive and negative commentaries on Undernet (monsters can use phones for watching show):

And it's normal to write an average 10-50 comments during the pretty long live-show with "killing, drama, bloodshed" and the real human - first for the long time.

(Some monsters could just spam stickers or the same sentences like iloveuMTT, notice me sempai Mettaton, etc).

The number of 320-1500 monsters fit here.

2. In cities lives less monsters that it seems.

It has a more complex explanation.

Firstly, we should mention that monsters were trapped after the war, so their number was greatly reduced (They were probably less than now - all monsters had enough place in Ruins). They came to Ruins from the Barrier through the New Home, Hotland, Waterfall, and Snowdin (of course, these places had no names at this time), and it was hard for the weakest monsters).

Monsters built Home and lived only in this city before Chara came; some time Chara also lived there (it proves drawing of gold flower in Asriel room), and then people decided to move closer to surface.

Part of monsters, which were hadn't enough stamina to move again (Snowdin is cold, after all), didn't want or were still scared of humans, decided to stay in Home; some of others monsters stayed as well in other cities. It's mean, less than half of the monsters move to New Home.

And, of course, they should have by themselves built a new houses. For everyone. When some of the monsters obviously are not strong enough or can't do it physically (how did Rocks' family or Moldsmals do it? They literally haven't arms). And some people had others jobs - making food, babysitting, ets. It means the number of people who can work for construction is... not that big. And part of them even were busy because of creating a Core!

House of royal family probably was built first as the main barricade (after all, Toriel and Asgore are the strongest monsters and in any accidents can protect others) and even then, it needed around a whole year for being finished. For one house, not even that big.

Of course, on Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland, all work with houses are finished... at least to the moment, when Frisk fell.

But what if the capital is overcrowded just because some of the buildings are just not ready yet? The number of monsters (slowly?) increased, and a lot of them wanted to live in capital - Onionsan cannot join his friends because the aquarium is full! And it's probably the only aquarium for the whole city - workers haven't enough time for building new ones, working instead on repairing / installing memorials / public works / with Mettaton for his show.

So we can say that a lot of buildings in New Home are just unfinished and empty, because each monsters' family builds its houses by yourself or waiting for other workers will do it.

And now we can go to the last question: why is the number of monsters between 320 and 1500?

Well, we have a few hints:

The souls counting when Asriel released them, give to us at least 320 - he could release more, but we haven't able to see them because of the white flash (but not too many - flash was only a few seconds long).

Underground is not that big - all Pacifist route needs less than one day; Genocide route - a few hours.

Also, I made an experiment and backtracked all Underground, walking through as many rooms as I could (without Riverperson helps, rarely used lifts and walk some way to the room with statue after bird carried me) and way from the first save to the last took me... 21 minutes and 20 seconds

In Genocide we can kill 57 monsters (including Undyne) before Alphys started monsters evacuation in True Lab. But this place will also be too small for more than 300 monsters (and it already has residents - Amalgamates).

(they definitely had to make room.)

Alphys propably wasn't able to evacuate monsters from New Home. But she for sure was in MTT hotel (we can read it in Bratty and Catty note) and probably came back with L1 lift before we went there (you can use it again after fighting with Muffet). She could only make a warning for the rest. So we can assume that the number of people that can fit in True Lab is probably the amount of Hotland people (41 monsters decided to stay for any reasons, but Amalgamates anyway take their places).

(Spiders' family probably evacuated too after Muffet death.)

It is important because the number of residents for all cities should be mostly the same (except capital that probably has more monsters and Ruins that has less, but together they offset the difference), so the number of monsters in Hotland/True Lab is close to average value.

And even though this is a rough estimate, since I not sure how Amalgamates should be counted, we get an average 300 people (if we take the possible maximum of people (including Amalgamates) that can fit in True Lab) in 5 cities - average maximum 1500 monsters.

So, any number between 320 and 1500 should be accurate and fine.

Night Time Meetings

Teru and Aoi had known each other since they were young. They are clever, powerful, perfect exorcists who the elders adored.

If that leads them to be maladjusted children, well, that isn’t important.

Most of their meetings are during the night. They sometimes cross paths during their respective duties and they’re occasionally assigned to the same mission. Some nights Teru is perhaps the only person who really understands Aoi. Other nights he is the person she hates the most in the world, even more than her parents and the elders and Akane-kun.

Tonight is one of the latter.

“You wasted movement,” Aoi criticizes, wrapping a cut Teru had gotten during their fight against a large supernatural they had been assigned to exorcize together. Teru is silent, and Aoi tightens the bandage more harshly than necessary in retaliation and is gratified to see a slight wince from him. “I don’t care how you satisfy your sadistic tendencies when you fight alone, but when you fight with me, be more careful. If I get injured because you’d rather torture the thing than kill it, I won’t forgive you.”

“Ah, are you not worried about me, Akane-san?” Teru says with a teasing smile that can’t hide how dark his eyes are.

“Of course not, Minamoto-sempai. How could I worry about the greatest exorcist in our generation?” Aoi’s smile is just as false, her teeth glittering under the streetlights like a blade.

“Don’t be bitter, Akane-san. You could be just as good if you practiced more. How’s that boy you spend so much time with, by the way? The one with a similar name to you?”

That bastard. He knows that Aoi is under different expectations than he is, and he knows that Akane had been acting differently since he confessed to her.

Don’t let it bother her. He’s just trying to get under her skin.

“He’s well. We studied together this afternoon.”

“And I bet he confessed to you again, right?” They smile at each other while trying to kill each other with their eyes, before as one they both slump and look away. A sort of unspoken, exhausted truce. 

While Teru certainly got injured because he was more interested in causing pain than actually finishing the job, it was likely he would have gotten injured anyway. The supernatural they were fighting had escaped notice for an unknown amount of time by feeding on neighborhood pets before focusing on humans, and so had grown much more powerful than had been previously anticipated. Aoi is going to be nursing bruises for weeks.

“It shows that he doesn’t really respect you,” Teru points out. His tone is different than before, though, in a way very few people would pick up on. Less biting, more worried.

And she knows. She knows. But Akane-kun is perhaps the only thing she chose for herself. He’s hers in a way that even these stolen moments of understanding with Teru aren’t. It’s for that reason that she’s never explicitly discouraged Akane-kun’s confessions. That she hasn’t told him that the way he’s contorting to try to fill the mold of her perfect boyfriend makes her hate him just as much as she loves him. Because what if he leaves if she won’t love him the same way he loves her?

Aoi and Teru sit in silence on the side of the road for a while longer, and then they split up to get a few hours of sleep before they go back to being the perfect children everyone wants them to be.

Aoi is 11 and will be joining him at Kamome junior high school soon. She worries about how her two worlds, the one with Akane-kun and the one with Teru, will collide.

But surely they won’t interact too much, right?

Saw you're reviewing the dresden files and seem generally cool and slapped follow at top speed. Good taste 👍

Thanks! I've been following your discourse blog for quite a while now, so it's a bit of a "sempai noticed me" moment, lol. But seriously, glad you're here. I mostly spew random thoughts about my Star Wars and 40k OCs, review books, and reblog cool art, so hopefully you'll enjoy.

👚: Oh no, Nana, what happened to your lab coat? Here, use Paul's, he's small enough to where it won't be too weird to wear.

Random symbol asks!

"Aw...... beans."

Nana looked down at herself, and at her lunch that had spattered itself all over the ground, her shoes, her lab uniform, and Floyd Leech, who towered over her with a smirk.

"What'sa matter, lil' Tetra? You weren't watchin' where you were goin? That's toooooo bad." Floyd reached down to ruffle Nana's hair, and her ears flattened back against her head.

"You were running, Leech-sempai." Her pupils narrowed. "And I was carrying bean soup. I can't exactly zip out of the way, not with hot soup."

"So much for cat-like reflexes," Floyd snickered.

Nana's lip curled. "Don't test 'em. Are you gonna replace my lunch?"

"Yeah, yeah." He ruffled her hair again, and giggled at her tail bristling. "Aw, you're a funny little one when you're mad! I'll getcha a new one. Just the soup?" He started to amble off to the line for food.

"And a chocolate milk!" Nana called after him.

As he walked off, Nana groaned. She was absolutely covered in black beans and broth. There was no way she was going to have enough time to eat and run back to the dormitory to get her spare lab coat. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she barely noticed the comparatively small figure that had been hovering in Floyd's shadow.

"Um. Miss. Miss... Katzen?" The kid was only a little taller than Nana herself, and pretty nondescript, aside from the gap between his front teeth. "I'm sure Leech-sempai meant no harm. He's gonna make sure yer compensated, so no worries, no prahblem. Right?"

"Noooo," she whined. "My lab coat's ruined, and I gotta get to herbology and tinctures right after this. There's no way I can show up like this; Professor Crewel would have a fit!"

"Yeah...." The boy looked a little worried for a moment, then brightened. "Wait! Um. I had my class before lunch; I still got my labcoat in my bag. It may be a little big, but it's better than nuffin, yeah?" He shifted his messenger bag to the front, and proffered it to her. "And I'll make sure yours gets washed, too. As a repayment for what just happened, yeah?"

"Yeah....", Nana replied, dazed. "But how come you're trying to cover for Floyd Leech, of all people?" She shrugged out of her stained coat and traded with the boy.

"Because he's showing me how I gotta be, if I wanna make it out there." The kid grinned, eyes bright. "And he's coming back with your soup now!"

"Barnacleeeeeee. You buggin' lil' Tetra, guy? Do I gotta scrape you off of her?" Floyd handed Nana a fresh tray, with soup, chocolate milk, and a pile of oyster crackers that threatened to overflow the sides of the plate. "Don't mind him, Tetra. He's just shadowing me. As usual," he added with a grumble.

"Don't worry, Miss Katzen! I'll getcha coat cleaned and sent ta your dorm, yeah? You send me mine whenever ya can," the boy replied brightly, as Floyd rolled his eyes and the odd duo retreated.

Nana blew a loose hair away from her face, and took the tray and clean coat to a table. She checked the inner collar, and saw the name Paul P. written there in laundry marker. She shrugged. Paul, huh? What a weirdo. And they thought her Diasomnia dormmates were the weird ones....

May I pls get a NSFW with Barto having sex with a Femme Straw Hat crew reader?

Sure! I hope you enjoy!

Barto x Fem Reader N/sfw Word Count: 1067

Bartolomeo had the dumbest look across his face when you sat on his lap, arms around his neck, you fluttered your lashes at him and all he could do was stumble over your name, his hands trembled, unsure what to do, this was such an honour! One of the straw hat pirates showing him this sort of attention.

You chuckled, using one of your hands to place his firmly on your ass, giving his hand a squeeze showing him he could be rough with you. “It’s okay, I don’t bite” You played with the back of his hair gently, leaning against him, pressing your breasts closer to him whispering in his ear now “But I sure hope you do”.

He was hard, you could feel his stiff erection struggling in the confines of his pants, his hands now grabbing your ass fully, feeling the soft flesh there, his face soon buried in your chest mumbling ‘s-s-sempai!’

“Want to go have a look around the ship?” You asked, winking, hoping he got your jist, he nodded his head so fast he got a headrush “Y-y-yes!” You got off his lap and grabbed his hand, dragging him away from the campfire.

You were amused if not a little annoyed he was so distracted by being on the thousand Sunny. “A-an this is where Zoro-sempai naps! And this is where Robin and Nami-sempai sunbath?” He pulled at your arm, reminding you of an exited puppy on the end of a leash.

“I’ll give you the grand tour later if you’re a good boy for me” Oh if he hadn’t been stiff moments ago he was rock hard now. You could see the tent even in his baggy pants. You licked your lips thinking of how much fun you were going to have with the green haired man.

Closing your bedroom door behind you he stumbled back, losing his balance when the back of his knees hit your bed. You wasted no time in taking off your top, bra coming off soon after. Barto stared at you as you removed the rest of your clothes, the pure worship in his gaze made you blush a little yourself. He struggled, fumbling to remove his own clothes.

“Let me” You offered, a gentle smile, helping him slip his coat off, casting it aside. Once he’d managed to get his pants off you noticed no underwear. You slipped off the bed neatly placing yourself between his thighs, hands caressing them as you did so.

“Oh, such a cute cock” You purred watching Barto’s dick twitch, a good girth with a golden ring perched on its tip, one that matched his nose. He covered his mouth, face brighter red then before as he watched you. You stuck out your tongue and licked the underside all the way up to the tip, flicking the ring as you did so.

His member twitched and he tried desperately not to moan just from that. You couldn’t help chuckle, who knew this big scary pirate captain was such a sensitive bottom? You gave his cock a few lazy strokes, feeling how hot and heavy it felt in your grasp. “Are you ready?”

“Oh fuuck yeah!” He growled, you giggled when he lifted you up from the floor, pulling you onto him. He laid on the bed and you straddled him, hands on his chest, running your fingertips over his muscles.

Apparently, the minor bit of foreplay had worked you up, you ran your wet slit over the tip of his dick before sinking down, feeling your cunt take him in inch by inch until you were fully stuffed by the pirate captains cock. “Ah..B..Barto” you purred, gently rocking your hips testing how he felt inside you.

“S-sempai you feel …ah so good!” He thrust his hips up to meet your downward motion and you both let out a sound. You started to ride him, rocking your hips and slowly dragging yourself off his member just to sink back down, feeling his dick hit against the right places. You took his hands and placed them on your tits as you started to ride him harder.

Barto swore he’d died and gone to heaven; no way was this happening. He squeezed your breasts together with the need of a horny teenager, tongue lolling out of his mouth as he watched them bounce with each thrust of his hips, keeping up with your rhyme. He pinched your nipples, rolling them around between his fingers with a cackle of his own, loving how you threw your head back and moaned.

“Ah..n..not s..so hard” You gasped, secretly loving the little addition of pain to your pleasure. He couldn’t help himself, grinding up into you, tugging them just a little, he pulled his knees up so you fell forward, he was able to suck your stiff nubs which sent you into a frenzy. You grinded down against him, getting wonderful friction on your clit, you felt so close, the best fuck you’d had in longer than you could remember.

“Ah s-sempai!” He hissed when you slammed down on him at such an angle, he could feel your pussy suck him in deeper than he thought possible. “Yeah?” You moaned into his ear, pulling off him enough to sink back down.

“I’m s..so..sorry s..sempai” He whimpered, gripping you harder, his face against your neck panting, desperately hammering up into your body before the white hot flash of his impending orgasm hit him. You felt him press up into you, thick hot cum filled you up as his member twitched inside you, he cried out, biting your neck, you felt the pin pricks of his sharp teeth and cried into the last dying thrusts as he softened inside of you.

He panted and looked at you, his hair messy and out of place, even for him, he rubbed your thighs, a gentle show he was sorry about coming to his end faster then you. You leaned forward, letting his soft member slip out “It’s okay, it felt really good, you aren’t just our biggest fan” You started, stroking his hair off his face “You’re the best fuck I’ve ever had…” You winked and the look on his face, the blush and the shit eating grin. You felt his cock start to stiffen again.

“I can go again sempai”

Oh, this was going to be a fun night.

[olderthannetfic]

all the talk of what brings on antis and dogpilling reminds me of the only time i've ever witnessed it happen in real time, on stan twt naturally

an army made a joke at the expanse of one of the members being insert-flaw-i'm-still-afraid-to-repeat-now lol and people decided they were a secret anti trying to infiltrate army spaces on purpose, which is apparently a thing?

their group of friends joined in like 'everybody calm down this is a joke and yes x is flawed lol which is fine actually let this be a moment to reflect on how it's important we treat the boys as humans and not put them on pedestals etc!'

at this point there were call out tweets against them encouraging everyone to block/report them en masse retweeted by literally everyone i followed like it spread lightning fast to every corner of the fandom, from people who had clearly never even been in the vicinity of the same social circles and who didn't hesitate one single second to maybe give the benefit of the doubt to people who had been actively producing imo very good content for years?

by that point it was maybe 6 hours since the first tweet uttering the flaw accusation, and the friendgroup had all locked/changed usernames unlinked their other media etc because they had received hundreds of hate messages telling them to kill themselves among other niceties, and the call outs circulating kept getting updated with the new usernames for a little while (!!!!!!) like literally mocking them for trying to hide and gleefully exposing them for Punishment

anyway sorry for the novel but even if it had nothing to do with me i'm still lowkey traumatized by the story of how 8 months after joining i kind of not so accidentally quit twitter by way of unfollowing my entire TL in one go bc they all turned out to be idiots/cowards, and afterwards i just couldn't be in a space where everyone was okay with facilitating something like that happening by using anti tactics

like it's been a couple years now and i still can't believe this happened to very outspoken softcore badwrong writers who engaged heavily in pro shipping discourse, they really got (temporarily) run off the platform by accusations of being anti i'm

so my point was, genuinely i believe even in a situation where it's v statistically unlikely you could still randomly get dogpiled on, the best thing you can probably do to protect yourself is just to react fast and do everything you can to remove yourself from the situation completely if it ever happens to you. and the bigger a fandom the more insane and potentially dangerous it is. and also twt is : Hell.

--

Twitter is garbage, and this is why.

Stupidass teenagers hoping sempai will notice them will always engage in this kind of behavior. Plenty of people old enough to know better will too. But on a site with decent site architecture, they wouldn't be able to go viral like this.

Also, idol fandoms are notorious for melting down when their faves are described as anything less than flawless.
