#or else they're just annoying iykwim

[yesloulou]

You’re making me want to take a closer looks at Daniel/Charles. Why is Daniel the only one that consistently make him blush like a school girl? What happened in Vegas? I wanna put them under a microscope. The impact Daniel had/has on young drivers… max, charles, lando. You gotta be a different kinda sexy to influence the collective unconscious like that

i too want to take a closer look at danchal but there is just SO LITTLE THAT WE KNOW 🥲

re: the second part i think daniel socializes by flirting. or like. his way of socialization resembles flirting in a lot of ways. his excerpts power by making ppl laugh with his stupid goofy jokes. like if all he makes are funny jokes, he'll obviously be able to make ppl laugh. but if he makes stupid & borderline annoying jokes and people still laugh, it can only mean they like him/find him charming. if you think about it literally what's so funny about pieeeeeeeeeeeeere gaslyyyyyyyyyy? do you have pubes yet?? kikiki ayayayay?? etc etc?

anyways. i think this is his very special kind of sexy and bc of this he can very easily strike up rapport with ppl who respond to silly goofy humor. charles is especially this type. as well as max (when it comes to daniel at least) and george. lando is kinda unpredictable (he would laugh at stupid pube jokes but he can also get kinda moody/judgy all of a sudden) so dando is like, they have insane moments but they also have days where they're just 'off'. lewis is not easy to please but he sometimes gets amused with random stuff so you also have dewis. and these basically wrap up all the popular daniel ships on ao3.

on a related note i think danchal is ~deceitfully frustrating~ bc of this. like. on paper they should get on soo well (and they do) but moving beyond the 'daniel loves affection & charles is affectionate vice versa' part things become very difficult very quickly. i don't think daniel's and charles' (fandom) characterizations have very interesting conflicts. there's not a lot to reconcile between them. they struggle in parallel. to me danchal is very sweet and very good looking together and i love them very much but they're not hot iykwim. and weirdly daniel/carlos has more than danchal in the sense of like. daniel loves making ppl laugh and loves making ppl like him. carlos doesn't give either easily. there's a conflict right there. (on the other hand if danchal ever become teammates it's over for everybody else <3)

++ this is right b4 daniel commited to interrupting pierre's interview with pieeeeeeere gaslyyyyyy and i thought it was v funny lol

i wrote a 500 word dynamic poem for neo-twiny jam :-)

i rewrote this in a few different ways with a handful of different drafts before settling on just doing a poem; this originally came from a full branching narrative i've had stewing for a while, and i might come back to it one day. but for now i enjoyed channeling that into this poem, which has also been very influenced by the fact that i've been writing hungry vampires for almost 2 months now.... it was also my first time messing with audio in twine, which ended up being way easier than i expected (i'm sure it helped that i only used one audio sample tho)

faith does contain sexual content, and while not super explicit, it is the main theme of the poem.

anyways hope you enjoy and check out the other entries here!

Heeey sooo... Could you elaborate on that Uta thing pls ?👀👀👀

Yes 🥹

1. There will never be a dull moment

Uta is... Entertaining. Obviously, some of his ideas of entertainment may not be what the average person likes to do for fun, but in general he's someone that is great to be around. If you want to go out, he's up for that, and if you want to go out-out for drinks he will rarely say no.

Even if you wanted to stay in and hang out, he's a great person to just be around; he's smart, so guaranteed you'll learn something new whenever you have a conversation. The thing you get educated in has a strong chance of being weird/macabre, but that's to be expected 🤷‍♀️

If you're in a quiet mood or not much of a chatty Cathy to begin with, you'll still struggle to be bored around him. He's constantly doing something. Uta also seems like he has some niche quirks iykwim? When he relaxes, you may notice some of them when he gets really involved with something creative.

Seriously, he's just a very interesting person.

2. He has a great sense of humour

He's friends with Itori and Yomo, so that says it all; you need to see the humour in things to spend so much time with both of them and remain sane.

Dry sense of humour, and quite witty. He's perfected the balance of being able to tease people and it's still funny for all involved without being mean which is a skill.

3. It's unlikely you'll ever offend or embarrass him

I think it'd be impossible to offend Uta. I think someone could say the literal worst thing in the world to him, and rather than him getting upset he'd try and see where they're coming from.

Don't get me wrong though: I think if he had a partner who was deliberately going out of their way to be a dick, he would end things swiftly, but if it's one of them not thinking moments, or panicking afterwards incase he took it the wrong way, you'd be ok. He'd likely find that funny... And maybe play on it a little.

In terms of embarrassing him, I think he may get a little annoyed if he had an especially clingy ott partner that liked to smother him when he's around other people. I can't imagine him with someone like that in the first place, but he'd tire of it quickly.

4. Supportive

You wanna quit your job and try a completely new career?

You wanna go no-contact with every one of your relatives?

Get face tattoos?

Speak an unpopular opinion to a bunch of people?

Uta 👏 has 👏 your 👏 back.

I think he would like a partner that doesn't necessarily go with flow and likes to rebel (in whatever form that takes) from time to time. His support may be the quiet kind - he isn't going to cheerlead for you - but will give honest feedback when asked.

BUT - with that in mind, depending on what you're doing and how close you are, Uta is someone that has a tendency to let people potentially make BIG mistakes and watch them from the sidelines. If he's in a serious relationship, he may say something if he thinks it's going to go majorly wrong.

Key word being MAY.

It's like he can be a little TOO supportive.

5. Down for whatever

If you read this how I meant it to be implied, you wanna know about the "physical" aspects to being in a relationship with him, right?

Uta's very open minded; there isn't much that he considers to be off-limits. If his partner wants to experiment, he would absolutely love it, but if they're more vanilla, he's good with that too...Or rather, he'd see that as more of an experiment to see if he can change that just a tiny bit.

If his s/o has any kinks he'll accommodate, and if they don't, he'll create some.

6. He'll make you feel like a vip

He isn't the type to write sonnets, or do staged (fake) performances declaring his love, but uta is not afraid of PDA - something that doesn't really happen in Japan. He's a tactile dude, always touching or being near his s/o , regardless of where he is or who else is around.

Will think nothing of cancelling plans with other people to do something with his s/o, especially at the start of the relationship.

I also think that with the right person, he would go above and beyond to make them happy (most of the time).

7. Isn't afraid of investing in a relationship & 8. Or can keep things casual

Uta isn't someone that has a particular relationship in mind. If he meets someone and realises he has VERY strong feelings for them, he isn't the type to get scared off immediately, if that makes sense?

At the same time, if he met someone and from the start they made it clear it was "just" dating/sex, I think he'd be able to compartmentalize himself well enough to not catch any feelings and get himself in trouble.

Basically: he isn't terrified of a long-term, commited relationship, nor is he turned off by a fling.

9. * Done in a separate post *

10. He's sensitive, he'll know when something is up

Yeah, don't bother texting him back saying "Nothing." When he asks you what's up. He'll know.

Guy's telepathic.

If something is bothering you, he will know straight away, and likely have a good guess at what's bothering you too.

This could be a potential problem area, because if his partner is somebody that wants their privacy, or maybe drags things out for attention - because sometimes people do that - I think uta could get very irritated, very quickly.

Uta with an s/o who is upset about something will act in the same way regardless of what the issue is: you either tell him and let him help, or don't and get over it. He isn't going to chase someone, and the silent treatment won't work.

But if you're upset and not playing games, you'll literally not have to say a word lol he'll be able to tell from the pauses between texting. He is THAT good 👌
