#please don't take fictional space languages so seriously

[redstuffs-ig]

(god i'll fucking regret this in the morning) Virgin Mando'a

basically a dead language

only spoken in one particular sector of the galaxy

spoken by rapidly-aging clones

Mandalorians themselves don't even speak it among each other

frankly overhyped

british influences (disgusting)

difficult to apply in sentences, you come off as a nerd

Chad Huttese

simply refuses to die

THE most widely spoken language in the galaxy second to basic

spoken by borderline immortal crime lords

Hutts don't even bother with basic, indulge in their glorious language freely; foreigners stumped

older than the Republic itself

no lesser earthly influences

can easily fit into sentences, perfect for swearing

The Disability Library

I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.

And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!

As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!

[donniesexceptionalmind]

hey hey may you please infodump about your favorite book(s) please ? I want to hear a detailed poetic explaintion about eeevery single thing you like because you're cool and i like reading what you write

I am BEYOND amazed by this ask, I - I can't comprehend. Is this real?

My favourite books - that's a though ask because I have many books I thoroughly enjoy, many tied to my special interests.

Oh gosh, I am sorry in advance, this will be long...

I have not talked about it much on here, but besides Jupiter Jim I am a huge fan of Star Wars & I'm owning over 160 books + the begin of a comic collection. Autistic much, mhmmmmm?

My favourite Star Wars book series is the Republic Commando Series by Karen Traviss. It's a masterpiece.

The way she gives the clone soldiers individual lives & personalities is amazing & it truly mirrors the conflicts that arise with the use of clones for an army. I am also fascinated by Mandalorian Culture, which the clones are raised in by their DNA giver Jango Fett & a few mandalorian warriors he chose for that task.

Karen Traviss created Mando'a, the language of this culture (which I have NOT learned, no, never /s).

I also want to add that the clones are NOT stormtroopers!

I'd also recommend reading the High Republic Series, which is BEYOND amazing & has become my favourite Star Wars Era next to the Prequel Era.

Even if you are not a fan of Star Wars, the High Republic is worth a read as a standalone series. You don't need to know anything about Star Wars to understand it.

Star Wars has a very big library of books & comics - every era has great stories. Here are some of my favourites beyond the ones I already mentioned:

Darth Plagueis (Prequel era to beginning of the Empire)

Alphabet Squadron Trilogy (New Empire era)

Death Star (Original Trilogy)

Brotherhood & also Master & Apprentice (Prequel Trilogy)

The Padmé Trilogy (Prequel Trilogy)

The Lando Calrissian Trilogy (takes place years before the Original Trilogy)

Everything by Timothy Zahn (he's famous for creating Thrawn)

You see how I am unable to choose???

Apart from my quite big Star Wars literature obsession I love reading other science fiction works & also thriller/ horror stories.

Ethan Cross with his absolutely amazing serial killer Francis Ackermann Junior is my favourite thriller author, but I do enjoy Stephen King as well

Of course, Jules Verne & his works are worth mentioning too, his work is impressive considering what he had come up with back in his time!

A Walk Between Stars by Tyler. R. Parsons is a great novel, truly recommend it - a human is stuck in outer space & gets rescued by strange aliens

As a huge Five Nights at Freddy's fan, I (of course) own the novels as well & THEY ARE SO WORTH IT

Occasionally I like fantasy as well.

The Dune Universe by Frank Herbert is what I've started reading & I do like the idea, but I don't enjoy the main character - so I've stopped after the first book. I do want to try to read the whole series someday!

Walter Moers is my favourite fantasy author, his work is absolutely stunning & I treasure every single one. My favourite work would be the 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, which was the first novel I've read by him

Lord of the Rings & the Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. No words needed!

The Never Ending Story by Michael Ende (trust me, it's exceptional)

Momo by Michael Ende (teaches you a lot about compassion)

I like reading the nerdy books about astrophysics & quantum physics, but I haven't included them since - it would've been boring to read for you. My newest interest is neuroscience & I want to obtain the scientific books about that field as well!

There you have it, a general overview about my favourite books! (Finally over)

I was seriously touched by this ask.

Even if you just asked to comfort me, it still means so much to me.

People actually care for me.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm a BKDK stan here, and I'm have been stalking this blog for a while to read why you guys hate Bakugou. It's very interesting to me for now. There is a few things I would like to highlights since I saw some anons commenting on some certain subjects that I thought was interesting. I don't know if you guy only keep your hate of bakugou to yourself or going around telling it to people who like bkdk just because you feel the need to. Since if you did the later, I could only say that you guys are more trolls than people who just happens to hate a character. If not, than you can hate on him however you want because hey, you can and you have reasons to. But seriously, if you go out your way, go to a specific blog where people are enjoying what might not be your cup of tea or which you feel wrong about (but the things they are enjoying aren't defying any laws), just to go and voice your opinions and not let them enjoy their hobbies. Then, at that point, it is on you guys for actively trying to cause drama, vice versa for bkdk stans. To be real here, I felt a need to voice my opinions about this only because I want to truly see how you guys would react to this and make a quick reminder (due to me seeing a few anons being double standards about this). So, please don't hold double standards (not being able to take opinions of people who does like bakugou's character writing despite wanting them to listen to your's points,etc.) and stereotyping a bunch of people together (if you like bkdk you must be having a thing for abusive bastards, bad boy mthfckers that do no good,etc, for example), and just keep enjoying what you do lawfully. Keep hating and liking whoever you want, but please be civil about it.

Anyway, good day/night to y'all. English isn't my first language so pls don't mind if I have any wrong spelling and grammar.

Hi, thank you for the post 😊. You lay down some very important things that I do wanna discuss. I agree with everything you said. There is no reason for an anti to instigate conflict against a Katsuki or BkDk fan just cause of their ship. It’s rude and unnecessary. When it comes to shitting on Katsuki, I keep it in the appropriate tags cause it’s not my intention to ruin people’s enjoyment. I’m just here to bitch about a fictional character to those who decide to listen 😂. For those who don’t, then that’s perfectly fine. I also agree that stereotyping is bad. It’s why I differentiate between “Stans” and “fans”. At the end of the day, we should be civil like you said and simply exist in our own spaces. Sometimes we may interact due to Tumblr’s tagging system being a bitch or cause we’re genuinely curious about the other side, but as long as we’re civil, that’s fine.

Is it me or am I weirdly seen and comforted by the shot progression and the confirmation that Bruno has a tummy. Because: firstly, I hate it when people draw him muscular-

Second: His legs and arms are.... pretty thin like, the space between his legs compared to all of the healthy characters is worrying and in a weird way I like that because it shows the seriousness of the situation (I know I might/probably am looking WAY too into it) but when I was underweight because of ED, whenever I ate my stomach was always distended because I wasn't eating enough so, anything made me full. And seeing that here is kinda giving me the same vibe and I appreciate that they didn't gloss over how he PHYSICALLY needs HELP. NO ONE COULD SURVIVE THISS😭

Then again, I'm probably thinking too much into it but idk😭makes me feel happy in the weirdest way

Sorry if this was weird thing to send to your inbox😳

Please don't mind me using your message as an excuse to write some meta.

The question of whether or not Bruno even has a protruding stomach is officially answered. It's now up for debate to analyze what kind and why he has it.

Bruno's Belly: Artistic Choice? Chub? Malnutrition?

Artistic Choice

As someone who takes a close look at characters I want to recreate when I draw, I pay a lot of attention to their mannerisms and, of course, their body as you will definitely notice in this post.

There's a lot of thought that goes into character design and every shape, every wrinkle is supposed to mean something and make the character recognizable. The design is meant to make us project emotions on fictional people and associate them with certain values.

Bruno, the guy with the connotation of sickly green and made out to be the villain of the movie, already subverts this for plot purposes. Roundness conveys security, friendliness, and reliability; all traits Bruno possesses and bears on his face, most notably in his nose and eyes. Then there's his clashing thinness, with angles and bone. Perhaps it should make him seem a little dorky and defenseless (and in need of "rescuing" by the protagonist).

Even Camilo uses shape language to push the image of having a (cool) evil uncle. The Bruno he portrays is gaunter, more driven, and intimidating. And he has, as far as I can see in this very brief frame, no belly (since the shirt doesn't wrinkle on the crest where it should):

You might be familiar with the earlier design of Bruno in Disney's concept art. You know, the one where he's much, much larger?

I assume the crew dropped this design for two reasons:

1. To make the "living inside the walls for ten years" more realistic in the movie.

A bigger frame requires more fuel to sustain it and more food going missing would have alerted the rest of the family. Also, navigating soundlessly through Casita's narrow hallways and the opening behind the painting giving access to them would have been more difficult.

2. To underline the relationship between Bruno and his sisters.

Much like his color that is a mix of his sisters', Bruno's current design incorporates Pepa's side of the family (rather tall and thin) as well as Julieta's (the more sturdy-looking characters).

What I find surprising, and I'm really reaching here because I have no idea what really went on behind the scenes of the creation of Encanto, is that the animators seem to have added Bruno's pouch.

Here's a screenshot from, as far as I know, pre-production days:

To a frame that definitely made it into the movie:

This means that Bruno's stomach was important! Why else would they go back to remodel the figure even though it must have been clear it would be covered by a large cloth most of the time?

Chub

Now, there are a couple of reasons why Bruno might have (so much) stomach fat.

1. He's fifty years old and this happens.

2. He's been living inside the walls with minimal exercise (Mirabel chasing him and Bruno bolting like crazy seems like a one-time thing to me. He probably never expected to be run after and the only reasons he made it over that chasm were luck and a great fear of being caught and giving up his secret).

3. Illness (that's a thing for a different post)

But then again, why would all that weight only settle there, when his limbs are so concerningly thin? (I know there are different body types and that Bruno is a cartoon character with extreme proportions, but still...)

Malnutrition

We finally get to the point that has something to do with your ask and that is: maybe, what Bruno has isn't stomach fat at all!

There are two possible assumptions I can come up with:

1. Ascites

It's an illness where fluids build up in the stomach area due to underlying health issues like cirrhosis of the liver, tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and heart failure. Let's hope that's not the case and Julieta's arepas could spare him from that.

2. Bloating

Looking at the screenshots, it would have to be extreme bloating, but a possibility nonetheless. We don't know how much Bruno got or wanted to eat, despite the kitchen being right next to his hideout. He also describes his dear rat companions as "always hungry, never satisfied" and feeds them in the next frame, so it's not outlandish to assume that Bruno makes sure they get food before he does. There are also other (mental) illnesses that could cause a lack of interest in eating.

Conclusion

All in all, we don't know for certain why Bruno looks like he does. But no one could ever convince me that this

is meant to signify a picture of health. Even the bones of his chest and hands are visible in this model.

So, @mmollymercury , I absolutely agree with you. The new info only makes Bruno more interesting and offers more whump material. And, please, never feel weird or awkward when sending me asks.

Extra

I literally wrote this drabble five minutes before reading your message. I thought about incorporating it into my fic WAACH one day.

Julieta wanted to give Bruno more food. However, it seemed like he turned the offer vehemently down.

“Ah, that’s a lot, isn’t it?” he asked briskly, eyeing the tray she had prepared for him like an offense.

Julieta could only silently stare, in fear and exasperation.

“I… well, I already have quite the pouch…,” he mumbled, patting his stomach that bulged a little over his waistband and thus hoping to show his sister she had nothing to worry about.

“It only appears so––“‘disproportionate’ she wanted to say, but bit it down, “––like that because the rest of you is so small. Hm, just look at your arms and legs! Dios mio, Bruno, you are a grown, middle-aged man; you should look like one!”

“I’m fine. I really am!” he defended, overreacting in a way that deepened Julieta’s frown.

Julieta didn’t want to hurt her brother further, but the best medicine for denial was the unshakable truth. Julieta sighed before she took on a gentle if stern tone: “Bruno, you simply cannot be ‘fine’ after what you’ve gone through.”

Edit: a second part to this post is up.

[ben-10-setting-omnicrom]

Hey there, you made a post recently bashing one of mine. Totally fine to disagree but bashing other people's posts aren't the way to go about it. Both posts you were bashing were speculation and if you really had a problem with it, you could've left a comment to open up a real discussion about it on my post or the other person's.

I think you misread some of the tones in the posts. We were exploring political themes in a fictional universe. These sorts of things aren't for everyone and there's a wide variety of perspectives on the subjects. The other person's was, as I interpreted it, a "hey what if this happened" sort of post. Mine was a theory about the dynamics between species based on what we see in canon. I don't think either warranted the reaction it got from you, especially considering the fact we're talking about a cartoon. Perhaps they are darker interpretations but not impossible. No bold, declarative statements were made. No one was pushing their thoughts on others. Both were just people sharing their thoughts on possibilities we could not see in canon.

Again, it's okay to disagree. You, however, took it a step further. I deal with discourse on subjects more serious than a cartoon so I really don't care if you think there's something wrong with this but I'm getting the sense you are trying to start drama in the fandom which really isn't appreciated. This is generally a positive space and it's not hard to match the tone, even when you don't agree.

If you keep this up, I'll just block you so we don't see each others posts. Can't speak for the other person, of course, but they're a respected member of the fandom so I'm sure people would also appreciate it if you didn't go after them.

But I will ask two things of you. If you continue making posts like this, consider using a more respectful tone. I have no idea how other people you have bashed reacted but you are saying these things about real people, many of them likely minors. It's not hard to be courteous.

The other thing is to not use the delusional tag or call people insane. Maybe some people have some hot takes or discuss theories in a sphere a bit extreme for a cartoon but that does not mean it's okay for you to directly attack them. And, some of the words you used are ableist language. I am not disabled so I am not necessarily affected by it but a bar must be set and I'm setting it pretty low. You can continue what you're doing but do not disrespect people or use ableist language. Even if you don't care what I think, note that chances are people will not take you seriously if you sound like a child throwing a tantrum or speak like you're trying to hurt someone.

Even though I disagree with your tone, I will admit you weren't completely off target. You had some good points. And if you had brought them up in a respectful manner, I would have been happy to have a discussion about it. But, you didn't and here we are.

Where the hell do I even start with this?

Ok, first of all NO I'm not trying to start drama. I'm expressing my distaste on a trend I've seen in posts in the Ben 10 tag where this echo chamber perpetually spews out ridiculous baseless shit.

"A generally peaceful space" lmao, you mean like the time several users INSISTED Cracker isn't a slur and you can't be racist to white people, after a user called another one it while shamelessly and without irony claim they wouldn't stoop to bullying like @xcatxgirlx was wrongly accused of? Or the fact several users adamantly and insistently warp and twist her words to fit their delusional narrative where she's apparently the next spawn of Satan or whateverthefuck? Or the fact if you disagree with said echo chamber they'll call you bootlicker and say you have brainrot.

Also can you quit with the victim complex? I'm not going after anyone, I'm refuting claims and headcanons by pointing out no such thing is even remotely hinted at in canon.

Gods at this point I'm going to have to pin dictionary.com with how often I've had to quote people the definitions of words.

having false or unrealistic beliefs or opinions:

In other words ideas not based in reality or that can be gleaned from pertinent information. Reality in this case being the canon of the series.

Saying Ben wanted to kill Kevin because he was jealous of him saving the day in the Forge of Creation episode is FLAT OUT DELUSIONAL. Full stop.

Saying the Plumbers would practice brutality and gay bashing at the drop of a hat DURING PRIDE MONTH is utterly baseless and ridiculous, not to mention actively insensitive to irl acts of such. Their WHOLE THING is keeping the peace and anyone practicing police brutality would get jailed JUST LIKE THE NUMEROUS TIMES IN CANON THEY'VE DEALT WITH EVIL PLUMBERS.

Saying the Galvans are totally discriminating against a entire species is absolutely baseless especially when shit all is preventing said species from basically doing whatever the fuck they want. Baz-El is literally a damn archeologist after all.

You want to know what all those things have in common?

They take the flimsiest of "evidence", ignore context, and actively distort facts to shine things in the worst light possible, like a corrupted fun house mirrors from hell.

Also why would I ask for permission to document for posterity posts I reference? I'm literally only doing that shit so they can't say said posts didn't say what it did or if said posts are erased. It's no different from using the Way Back Machine to check on old posts.

Also also, like for future reference PLEASE add spaces to your posts. Your ask was honestly kind of hard to read.

since you reblogged some stuff from pietro's blog on here after talking about a fc on his blog, I'm assuming elizabeth is the fc you were talking about? it's okay if you don't wanna say who's the fc, this is just a reminder that its okay to enjoy things and you're not a bad person for it. for example I don't like chris pratt, but quill is my #3 fav marvel character, so... real life is sad, and if we have a little window to happiness in fiction, we take it. it's alright. I love your blogs ♡

{out of paprikash} Below the cut so that people who want to bypass this, can.

Oh, I do like her, that’s the problem. I was a fan of EO’s since around 2011 when Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene came out. I was so wowed that I started watching some of her other movies, and in 2018 when I found out that she played Wanda and PB played Vision (I had also been a fan of his for a while at that point too), they were the reason I decided to finally start watching MCU movies and get caught up on a whole bunch of them. So I’m conflicted because while I don’t condone certain things she’s said and done, I also remain a fan of her acting. That... upsets some people on here a LOT. I understand why people are upset about the use of certain words or the misunderstanding/ignorance of certain cultural aspects and references to stereotypes, but the criticisms, boycotting, canceling, etc. culture on here has reached a very childish, uncomfortable, nasty, hateful, and at times obscene level, and that makes me very uncomfortable.

So I have to walk this line of still being a fan of someone’s acting talent while acknowledging that at times she might not have said or done the best or more racially considerate things, while also making it clear that my interpretation of Wanda is not nearly as whitewashed as it is in the MCU even though I still use her MCU FC. All of that together has created some problems for me with people assuming things about me, my beliefs, and my interpretation of Wanda that aren’t true. And the hate on this site for certain celebrities because of things they may or may not have said or done on purpose or ignorantly or inadvertently, etc. (not just EO, I have encountered it for PB and ATJ as well, some of which was seriously ill-informed and just outright wrong, which makes it even worse) has reached a level at which it’s pouring into my circles and showing up on my dash even though I block certain tags and don’t follow certain blogs. And it’s beginning to affect my mental headspace when I’m on here because I am made to often feel like I’m a bad person if I’m a fan of some people, and just the language that is used is very offensive and upsetting to me. Having to see it all the time is wearing on me, and having people accuse me of things or refuse to interact with me because they assume things about me or my blogs without reading my info first is just... getting old. So I’ll just say that:

1) I can be a fan of someone’s acting without approving of everything they do in their personal lives. I am an adult and can separate the two. 

2) Being a fan of someone who has said/done some things that were upsetting/wrong in no way means that I condone those things any more than writers condone the things their characters do in their books, fanfics, rps, etc. FC ≠ mun.

3) Just because my FC is White does not mean my muse is. Neither of my Maximoff twins are White despite their FCs being so. Please read my info about my muses before you assume things about them. FC ≠ muse.

4.) I am here to write and have fun, not to discuss real world issues. This does not mean that I don’t care, that I am ignoring these issues, or that I don’t pay attention to them on a daily basis, it just means that here on this site is not the venue in which I want to have those discussions. I keep my blogs on this site as an escape space, purely as a fun hobby. I have no problems with anyone wanting to change MCU FCs for their own personal reasons, whatever they may be, but please don’t hassle me for my FC choices or drag me into debates on real life issues. That’s not what I’m here for.

It’s exactly like you said... real life is sad. Very sad. Especially right now in this time we’re currently living. I would like to create a little joy on this site and on my blogs through writing. That’s all it is. I’m not making huge political or social statements by doing so, I’m just here to write and have fun. So please people, keep the hate far away from me. That’s all I ask. 

I’m glad you are enjoying my blogs, and I hope you have been able to find a little piece of that enjoyment you seek on this site in them. =)

[starsaver94]

I hope that you don't mind, but could I please get a Danganronpa match up? (a character from each game preferably, but you can do just one from any)

I'm about 5'5 (possibly 5'6) and I go by they/them pronouns.

My personality type is ISFP, my love language is physical touch and words of affirmation, I'm a cancer, and I'm unsure of what my sexuality is, so go ahead and match me with either a male or female character!

I've got blonde hair that's about at the end of my shoulder blades and blue eyes that oddly tend to change different shades depending on the season, I've got pale skin, and I'm extremely slim (I'm extremely self conscious about it and I hate my weight)

I'm extremely shy, but I've also got a big heart (though I apologize for everything even when the situation had nothing to with me), my self esteem extremely low, and I'm extremely bad about bottling up my emotions till I either blow my top or cry my eyes out. I also have extreme trust issues because of my past (neglectful parents, teachers hating me with out reason, and getting bullied in school), but if you can manage to earn (and keep) my trust I'll turn into a talkative and clingy ball of sunshine that you won't wanna get rid of (and you can't because I have problems letting people go)

My hobbies are reading books (fantasy and dystopian) and manga (MHA cause that's all I own), watching anime (Angles of Death, Moon Phase, MHA, TNP, ect.), attempting to draw without my self esteem killing me, and singing while I listen to music (though I get nervous when someone hears me and I have a habit of losing my balance and hissing at the person)

I'm not a big fan of large crowds, I can't handle spicy food, and I don't like Romantic, Realistic, Historical, or Non-Fiction books

I hope this isn't too much of a problem

Take care of yourself, and have a good day!

For Trigger Happy Havoc: I pair you with...

Aoi Asahina!

Behold! Your own personal cheerleader!

Aoi is an absolute sweetheart who makes your comfort and happiness one of her top priorities.

Feeling insecure? Be prepared for a hug attack followed by comforting words.

Aoi hasn't watched a lot of anime due to her swimming training, but you both started watching the swimming anime "Free!" and it's sequel "Free! Eternal Summer".

She'll model some of her swimsuits so that you can practice your drawing skills.

You both will often stop by the local sweet shop to snack on some doughnuts.

For Goodbye Despair: I pair you with...

Kazuichi Soda!

Oh boy... this man.

To say that Kazuichi loves you would be a MAJOR understatement.

He will praise you throughout the day, even for little things.

Oh, and don’t worry about his previous crush on Sonia.

As soon as he met you, it was like his feelings for Sonia disappeared in an instant.

It’s really easy to fluster this guy.

Seriously, if you hug him or hold his hand when he’s not expecting it his face will just explode with red.

For V3 Killing Harmony: I pair you with...

Kaito Momota!

Just like how Aoi is you personal cheerleader. Kaito is your personal hype man.

This man will help motivate you throughout the day.

He loves looking at your drawings and will always tell you how good they are (don’t worry he’s not being condescending, he honestly thinks your art is good).

You and Kaito will often have nighttime picnics or just pull out a blanket and look at the stars on clear nights.

This guy is a MAJOR hugger!

He’ll often call you space related nicknames like starlight, my galaxy, or starry eyes.

The Devil's Advocate

Day 19 and 21 of Ichiruki month 2020

Summary: Demons are a pain in the neck. Exhibit A: The pint-sized she-demon Ichigo’s stuck with until further notice.

Rating: T

FF/ao3

.

.

His mouth is bone dry.

Summer heat renders the humidity inside the tiny studio apartment stifling. Heat and sweat cling onto him like a second skin and the stupid electric fan does nothing to ease it.

It's barely three in the morning when he trudges over to his fridge and parks himself in front of the open doors. The blast of cold air hits his heated body nicely. He almost moans.

Instinctively, he grabs the bottle of orange juice from the side and takes a swig from it- only… it's empty?

He growls, "Rukia, what did we say about leaving the empty OJ in the fridge?"

The culprit spares him a lazy smirk from her end of the couch, violet cat-eyes gleaming from the faint glow of the TV. She tilts her head just so as she sticks her tongue out at him.

"Oops!"

Ichigo wearily sighs and slams the door shut, mumbling something about free-loading she-demons. His life is hardly picture perfect to begin with anyway with his job at the Metropolitan Police as a homicide detective. Work hours are long, and his mornings usually start off with unsolicited gruesome crime scene photos and a diluted concoction of coffee-water that is nowhere nearly as strong as he needs it to be.

Since Rukia moved in though, things seem to have gone from bad to worse.

His neighbours think she's his live-in girlfriend- sweet, albeit a little strange at times. Ichigo snorts. They don't know half of it.

The midget isn't even human.

Underneath a heavy layer of glamour, are two spiral-shaped horns- the colour of it blending near seamless with her nest of glossy black hair and of course, a very noticeable fork-tipped tail, flicking from side to side as she giggles at his obvious annoyance at the OJ-less situation.

Filling his cup with lukewarm tap water instead, he trudges over and nudges at her to move. Wordlessly settling next to her, he then proceeds to ignore her indignant yelp as he splays his long legs on the couch, taking up much of her space.

She huffs and glares at him, which earns her a careless roll of his eyes.

"What are you watching?"

Squinting slightly from the brightness, he scoffs as he realizes that she's watching a Spanish telenovela. Though watching may be an understatement in this case, Rukia is obsessed with them to the point where she becomes a little too invested in the torrid love affairs of the fictional characters on screen. By virtue of her otherworldly origins, she understands every language known to man and speaks in tongues; Ichigo doesn't and thinks it's a feat that he catches the names of the characters in passing.

He grabs the remote control, surprised when she viciously slaps his hand away and hisses, "Change the channel and I guarantee you won't live long enough to see the next dawn."

"I'd like to see you try."

Ichigo snorts and does it anyway. It's hard to take her seriously even with the whole glowing eyes business when she is so tiny that she barely comes to his shoulder.

As a demon, Rukia is surprisingly low maintenance- the most outrageous of her demands since she has gotten herself suspended in limbo in their plane of existence was for him to take her to a bunny café. That being said, she does however take her soaps and TV shows very seriously which explains her aggressiveness as she launches herself at him, her touch burning hot on naked skin as she grapples for the device.

"Give it back!"

Ichigo stretches, holding it in one hand just shy of her reach, taunting her.

"Why don't you make me, midget?"

Growling, she takes him up on his challenge. Violet eyes ablaze as she clambers over him on all four, chewing at her lower lip from the effort. It shouldn't even be possible Ichigo thinks, for demons to be this cute- ahem-fixated with earthly distractions but the press of her lithe body feels warm against him, deluding him into thinking for a second, that Rukia isn't some supernatural being from the nether realms powerful enough to send him flying with a snap of her fingers.

Sometimes, he feels she almost forgets about her inhuman advantages- on purpose. The puff of warm exhale from her makes his hair stand, the sight of her face so close to his jerks his thoughts away from his nonsensical musings. Her shirt hikes up and the collar that is way too loose on her easily falls off her shoulder, showing skin.

He bites the inside of his cheek. She needs to stop prancing around in his shirts.

She has her own clothes to wear. He bought her a full array of sundresses, pants, shirts and skirts. Ichigo thinks it's compulsion that makes her raid his closet and steal his clothes. It wouldn't have been quite so ridiculous if she wasn't so petite, making his worn-in T-shirts look more like dresses with the hem cut conspicuously shorter than normal on her thighs.

Ichigo looks away and takes a quick gulp of water. The heat is doing things to him.

He's not checking her out.

He swears. Honest to God.

He's not suicidal. He wouldn't put it above Rukia to claw his eyes out or alternatively damn him to the deepest pits of purgatories if she found out about him sneaking glances at her.

"Here!"

Ichigo throws the remote back at her, standing up abruptly without sparing her another glance. His skin feels warm- much warmer than it has any business of being under a demon's touch and his mouth dry. No touch of water will ever begin to quench this thirst and tame his racing heart but he is human enough to still try to run from the implications.

It's too hot to think. He grabs his keys and wallet.

"I'm heading out."

Rukia's voice rings up from the couch- cool, unaffected as always. Ichigo hates her a little for it, almost.

"This time of the day? Where are you going?"

"To get some OJ from the corner shop since someone finished it and couldn't even be bothered enough to replace it."

Her grin is impish, not a shred of remorse from her as she sighs and kicks back, reclaiming her sovereignty over the couch.

"Oh, could you grab some ice-cream while you're at it? I think we're all out too."

He grimaces, halts his process of shrugging on a shirt to yell back, "They're full of sugary crap. Too much of it and you're going to rot your teeth!"

Just before he sets foot outside though, he grumbles.

"What flavour do you want?"

The grin she flashes at him is annoying and indolent with her spread out on the couch, like a cat in the sun, pleased with her unchallenged access to her favourite soap and him running errands on her behalf.

The satisfaction practically purrs from her as she smirks and says, "Strawberries and cream."

His cheeks burn and he tells himself that he's too nice for his own good, staunchly refusing to even consider the possibility that she's got him wrapped around her pretty little fingers.

.

.

.

The streets of his neighbourhood are mostly deserted in the wee hours before dawn and the scarcity of people makes the air somewhat bearable despite the heat. He walks home in the dark, his groceries in a plastic bag hanging limply by his side.

Ichigo sighs. It's a horrible thing to be distracted by thoughts and downright disgraceful that it has taken him this long to realize that he's being followed.

He turns the next corner sharply and as expected, the heavy footsteps, the crunch against the gravel of the pavement follows. He hides behind the decrepit wall, bidding his time until the sound creeps close enough for him to make out the shadow of a hunkering man.

Now!

He leaps out from the shadow, swinging the heavily-laden bag like a weapon at his attacker.

The stranger decked from head to toe in black falters from the surprise attack. He is forced to take another step back as the weight hits him dead centre- quickly followed by a punch from Ichigo, letting out a pained groan as his world spins.

"Who sent y- the fuck!—"

The hood of his attacker slips off and Ichigo is more than a little shocked by the ghastly appearance of the creature underneath it. Whatever this thing is- it's not human. Yellow teeth- drool dripping from the corners of the gaping mouth and sunken cheeks make up the most sinister-looking skull-face he has ever seen. The thing's unfocused milky white eyes sharpened at him.

The creature throws itself at him, snarling with claws drawn out and aimed at his jugular.

Forced on the defensive, Ichigo doesn't hesitate. Instincts and years of experience have him throwing the bag of grocery at the ghoul as a distraction to buy him time. He takes off down the street in the opposite direction without looking back.

The bag rips, predictably; the contents of it spilling into the empty streets but it barely slows the creature down.

Outrunning him by a good minute, the creature lunges at him from his blind spot which he clumsily dodges. His back meets the wall of the alleyway, chipping off old paint and the uneven edges bite into his skin through his flimsy cotton shirt, drawing blood. He hisses in pain but there's barely even time to register it as the ghoul lunges again.

The strong jaw of the creature crushes the pieces of garbage Ichigo throws at it, rendering them into splinters. Its movements and attacks unrelenting and aimed to kill.

Weaponless as opposed to the creature's deadly bite and claws, Ichigo has neither the speed nor the agility to fully dodge the frenzied attacks. The odds are stacked against him and with every swipe and snarl; Ichigo feels his chances of survival dwindling.

He is crawling backwards on all four, back against the wall when his hand closes on a steel bar. He thanks the stars and whatever higher power there may be but knows that he is not out of the woods yet.

Grim determination sets in as his eyes harden.

He only gets one chance- one chance to get this right or he's dead and done for.

.

The ghoul rears up for its attack and Ichigo readies himself.

Mid-launch, the steel bar spears through the creature's twisted body. It gives a strangled cry, black blood oozing and dripping onto the pavement, over Ichigo's battered and bruised body. But Ichigo refuses to let go. He pushes it in deeper until he can hear the snap of muscles and soft tissues, and sees the metal protruding from the other side of the dead monster.

The ghoul flops over dead. Its weight settles on top of Ichigo and he eagerly hoists it off, eager to put some distance between them. The damn thing smells worse than the open sewage and rotten corpses.

Above him, there is an ominous roll of thunder and flashes of lightning that streak through the dark skies. Ichigo picks himself up wearily. He has no intention of being caught in the downpour.

Sharp pain shoots from his side as he hobbles. His hand comes up red and in disbelief, his eyes flit to the wound on his side, cut deep and the shred of cotton or what remains of his tattered shirt is soaked in the bloom of scarlet. The drip—drop of blood follows the pull of gravity, pattering onto the hot pavement.

He's been stabbed, he realizes belatedly and curses, that was his favourite shirt too.

.

Adrenaline fades and his legs give way from the blood loss.

A drop of something cool slides down his cheek before the torrent of rain follows, drenching him as he lays helpless on the deserted street, too weak to even yell for help.

He heaves a shaky breath, trying to make himself comfortable. The ache of the pain somehow dulling as the rain blurs his vision.

Cliché but he swears he sees his life flashing before him. And at the forefront of his strange musings and equally bizarre life cut short before his time, he remembers his first meeting with Rukia.

.

.

There's nothing quite like satanic cults and human sacrifices to brighten up the prospects of the day.

Ichigo grimaced, looking at the crime scene photos with a deep frown as he sipped at his coffee. He should have never taken up Ishida on his offer.

This case had all the makings of a ritual killing. Missing child, dead parent cut open with palms splayed, gruesome markings etched- he scowled; it reminded him too much of his own loss.

A tip-off from Anonymous led him to an abandoned warehouse not too far away from the Docks, the scene of the first murder.

"Don't do anything stupid," Ishida had cautioned him against it, "It's just another prank call. I sent a team out to canvas that area hours ago. There's nothing in that warehouse."

But Ichigo wasn't convinced. Gut instincts screamed at him to take a closer look at it but he also wasn't about to pick a fight when they should be focusing the bulk of their resources and time into finding the missing girl. The first 48 hours are crucial.

He's tough and packing. That made the second part of his decision a no-brainer as he slinked in past the locked gates and rusted metal fences— alone.

What he found inside the warehouse though was enough to make him balk.

"Nothing to report, my ass," he mumbled, carefully avoiding the pile of animal bones strewn along the doorway. He thought he heard the scurrying of rats and other critters as he made his way in deeper, unable to shake off the feeling of being watched.

There's something else in here. He could feel it in his bones.

He drew his weapon as he wandered into a room with what seemed to be a laid altar with offerings of dead flowers and questionable animal remains.

Heavy clouds of sulphur and incense filled the air, making his eyes water. In the centre of the room, was a circle, curious glyphs and runes drawn in red that he strongly suspected to be blood, candles with half-burnt ends flickering.

There's a pull at him towards the circle. He didn't resist it. The minute he crossed the threshold though, the candles were snuffed out and a blinding white light enveloped him. A strange ringing echoed through the room.

When his vision cleared, there was a girl with two horns and a tail standing in front of him, violet eyes searing into his as she bowed somewhat mockingly.

"Took you long enough. I was beginning to think that I'll waste away here for another week before someone shows up."

He stared, slack-jawed at her nudity or rather her lack of shame at her own state of undress.

She was unimpressed. Tapping her foot impatiently, she looked at him and said, "Well don't just stand there and gape. State the terms of your contract and we'll see if something can be arranged."

.

.

"Ichigo!"

The memory fades. The same pair of violet eyes are now boring deep into his.

"Rukia," he breathes. Talking is hard but he tries anyway. If it's to be his dying words, let them at least have meaning. Rukia- her existence and the events leading to her presence in his life are the only things that have ever made sense in a world said to have been created by an all-loving God and yet so full of injustice and hate.

"Stop talking! Damn it!"

He thinks she's smarter than that. He's lost too much blood now to ever come back whole. He is beyond saving at this point.

There's a light somewhere guiding him on. Maybe he'll see his mom after this; will she be proud of him- of what he's done with his life?

"I won't let you die."

There's a strange shimmering in the air. The shaft of light shining down on him is suddenly blotted out and he is falling-

Falling-

Falling-

.

He slams back into his body and chokes.

The pain is a hundred times sharper and a million times more jarring than he remembers. Brown eyes snap open just in time to see Rukia's kneeling body enshrouded in a silver ashy glow of light; her hand plunged deep into his chest.

The rain plasters her hair to her face; her eyes an unholy combination of black sclera and violet irises. She growls from the effort as her fingers tirelessly trace rune after rune across his broken body. The burnished ring of gold on his chest glows and hums with each and every character added.

Ichigo can only watch on in stunned silence as a cascade of something iridescent is siphoned from her and pulled into him. He thinks he hears singing, sweeter than the song of a nightingale and so beautiful that he thinks he just might cry from it.

She grits her teeth.

"Do you trust me?"

He nods.

She presses her lips to his. He surges forward to meet her and tastes the saltiness of her tears, mingled with that of the rain. There's a cut on her lip from where she had been biting too hard and the taste of it- like honey, decadent and syrupy, lingers on his palate.

The pain- or rather the absence of it grows and he feels something being anchored into place.

His heart.

Her heart.

There's something between them that is beyond words and whatever she's done, Ichigo knows it's life-changing for the both of them. He knows somehow, staring at the identical marks of a glowing glyph on the back of their palm.

They're bonded.

But even the very word seems inadequate to express this shimmer between them. There's a sliver of her- something inhuman— nay, a dark voice whispers, better than human— within him and it makes the world incomprehensibly sharper in his eyes, the taste of the summer air sweet on his tongue and the warmth of her skin so achingly perfect against his own as he holds her.

Pink flesh peeks through his tattered shirt. He is once again healed, whole, rendered into something new in her presence.

"So," he licks his dry lips, "did Hector ever managed to tell Maria that he loves her?"

"You idiot!"

She is shaking her head, calling him names for his recklessness. At length, she stops, and heaving a sigh of deep relief, grins at him, canines showing.

"Welcome back to the world of living, Master."

pt. 3

word count: 1, 802

●WARNING: mention of several mental illnesses (eating disorders, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, OCD, alcohol abuse, and more) I do not go into deep detail of each, more so simply mentioning the names, but if you are easily triggered please don't read. the reason I am mentioning these illnesses is because the boys(in my ff) suffer from several of them. all the mental illnesses mentioned in this chapter and their corresponding member are not based on true facts or actual evidence. this is fictional.●

"ah, well i graduated from college a while ago. majored in world language, i had this crazy dream of being a translator. but i obviously don't do that, although i've recently applied to several companies, i haven't heard from any." you ended with a neutral smile, making eye contact with the oldest who was nodding in understanding. "but i asked Jungkook which classes he took, since he still is a youngling."

you chuckle at your wording, along with the others. Hoseok even ruffling the man's hair teasingly.

"uhm, i do programming, computer stuff...yeah, it's nothing interesting like the arts b-but it's what i d-do best." a weak smile was on his lips and you chuckle softly.

"no, that sounds cute. you seem to be like a tech nerd, please take no offense. i mean to compliment you." you said, saving your mistake last second. even if they were younger than you, the level of respect and professionalism still had to be present between all of you.

red was painted across jungkook's face...he was cute to you? taehyung and jimin clenched the utensils on their hands, annoyed with how jungkook unknowingly one upped them. yoongi and hoseok sent glares to jungkook. namjoon and jin simply smiled, although they were fuming internally.

"oh, thank you..."

you nodded, biting into the food present in front of you. the taste was extravagant, even if it was a simple dish.

"my gosh, who made this? it is delicious." you moaned out, wiping your mouth. "this is so good, and home made?"

"that would be me, darling. and of course, home made. i like being able to overlook the food the boys eat, make sure they get their nutrients and stuff. i try to limit the amount of time they eat out,but sometimes i can't control it. especially if i'm in another country." you nodded impressed with the subtle fact he dropped, whether he did it on purpose or not.

"what do you guys do? i'm intrigued now with your professions." you said, resting your heaad on your hand.

"well, i graduated already...but i run my own dance studio. you should stop by sometime! we've won a couple awards, i'm very proud of my students!" hoseok smiles wide, and you could easily tell how much dance meant to him.

"i'm taking online classes for psychology. going to college is such a hassle, online is so much easier." namjoon says with a heavy sigh which you jokingly cheers to. making the males laugh at your humor.

"we, my friend, are on the same page!" you said and he laughed, making you smile widely.

"i produce music. i post my works on soundcloud...i promise i'm not like every other soundcloud rapper. i actually care about what i make, rather than the views it'll give me. i also have interest in photography, but tae is much better than me." yoongi was quiet and fidgeting when he saw the gaze of you on him. but at his last statement, you pouted a bit.

"i'm sure you two have your own styles and qualities in your work. also i've never met a producer before, i look forward to listening to your work as your career prgresses." you smiled kindly at him and he ducked his down to hide his blush. you chuckle before moving your gaze to the eldest at the table.

"oh, my turn. about time~" the boys scoffed and his attitude when you chuckled, at ease in his presence. "i mainly stay at home and do work in my office, but when push comes to shove i do have to leave the country. i'm heir to my father's company, so i have to take responsibility sometimes...and you must be wondering. so i'll answer the question now. the reason why i'm in this wheelchair is because i was in a bad accident when i was young." he nodded solemnly, although he was smiling weakly. there was a silence as you took the words in. "thank God my face was spared though."

he cupped his cheek, initiating a innocent look as everyone broke into a smile, looking over to the man with a wonder.

how could someone be so positive after such a horrific event? which was what you were thinking.

but the rest of the boys simply sighed in relief at their hyung. he was always a good liar. and they were lucky you were completely politely innocent and oblivious to their hyung's lie. he had lied more than once to you already, cheeky person he was

"yes, your face was surely spared." you said joining in with the joke.

the rest of the dinner consisted of you bonding over little things. your love for all kinds of games (including pranks) was shared with jungkook, love for animal life with namjoon, sleep with yoongi, culinary with jin, free expression with hoseok, puppies and dogs with taehyung, and family and friends with jimin. the general direction of every conversation was satisfying as it ended with everyone having a smile on their faces.

you had helped clean up, already beginning your new task as a house maid/nurse. "so what would like me to focus on as my first days?" you asked after everything was cleaned. the youngest had to go to their rooms, to begin getting ready for bed since they had school tomorrow. all their classes were in the morning which was fortunate for you since you would be driving them there from now on...and it didn't seem like fun to constantly drive back to the house and then to the university.

namjoon, who was standing in front of you, moved to the study table in the living room, and took a Manila folders into his hands. it seemed like a thick stack of papers and as you looked closer, there were a total of 7.

"no formal work, but all 7 of us saw it appropriate to give you an introduction to our needs. what exactly is wrong with us, y'know? we trust you're experience enough for this so we are confident you'll do just fine."

you took the stack of papers and thanked him. you walked through the house to find your room, which hoseok had shown you right after dinner was finished, and you still marveled at the sight.

it was a grand gray and white minimalistic bedroom with a huge bed in the center. there was also a large ledge with a window that you could sit on to see the night sky. you maneuvered your way over to the study table, turning the lap on to begin "studying" the males.

●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖘𝖊𝖔𝖐𝖏𝖎𝖓 / kim seokjin

disabilities/disorders: unable to move bottom half of body, a light case of schizophrenia, requires special attention on getting ready in the morning (may include dressing and showering)

meds: need daily dose for schizophrenia

your brows furrowed. that existed? you knew schizophrenia existed, but meaning a light case would specifically show what? you just shrugged and decided to what the papers were saying.

●𝖒𝖎�� 𝖞𝖔𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖎 / min yoongi

disabilities/disorders: OCD, severe depression, social anxiety, prone to panic and anxiety attacks in a crowd of many people, values his personal space-do not enter his personal bubble unless asked

meds: needs dose for OCD, depression

you nodded slowly, understanding the conditions and seeing the familiar names once again. you've had patients like him before, but everyone is different, so you will still be careful.

●𝖏𝖚𝖓𝖌 𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖊𝖔𝖐 / jung hoseok

disabilities/disorders: bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, fits of anger are dangerous, act hostile in any case and alert one of the other tenants immediately

meds: dose for ADHD & OCD

sudden shortness of his list made you a bit hopeful that taking care of 7 males wouldn't be as hard as it seemed. then again, you willingly signed up for this so you shouldn't be complaining in any way.

●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖏𝖔𝖔𝖓 / kim namjoon

disabilities/disorders: depression, OCD, past with alcohol abuse (currently in rehab)

meds: dose for depression and OCD

you pouted slightly, only being able to imagine how hard it must be to recover from alcoholism. and it was saddening to see such an intellectual and kind person such as Namjoon suffer from the mental illness, although that could be said about everyone you had previously read.

●𝖕𝖆𝖗𝖐 𝖏𝖎𝖒𝖎𝖓 / park jimin

disabilities/disorders: ARFID, anxiety, prone to panic and anxiety attacks

meds: none

reading the single line you let yourself think of the moment he introduced himself. he was enthusiastic about meeting you, it made you smile at the memory. you were suddenly thankful for getting such a sweet and honey-like expression out of the man.

●𝖐𝖎𝖒 𝖙𝖆𝖊𝖍𝖞𝖚𝖓𝖌 / kim taehyung

disabilities/disorders: OCD, ADD, brief psychotic disorder - periods are short and caused by stress, not dangerous unless triggered by something you do or say

meds: dose for OCD, ADD, and best if given sleep meds during pyschotic episodes

you nodded slowly, understanding and keeping the directions in the back of your mind.

●𝖏𝖊𝖔𝖓 𝖏𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖐𝖔𝖔𝖐 / jeon jungkook

disabilities/disorders: DID, psychotic, anxiety

meds: dose to limit psychotic episodes

the 3 things on the list made your eyebrows furrow. the 3 seemed to make a terrible combination and you began thinking of how calm Jungkook was before. You hoped you wouldn't encounter any bad alters of Jungkook, if he had any bad ones. and, honestly, you were a bit uneducated in the DID field, so you were determined to learn more tonight with the help of the internet.

and the last sheet in each file were filed letters to make sure you caught it :

THEY SHOULD NEVER BE KEPT UNSUPERVISED FOR A LONG TIME. MEDICATION IS IN THE CABINET IN YOUR ROOM WITH PADLOCK TO AVOID OVERDOSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPLIANCE.

you took the words seriously, seeing the urgency in the message. shutting the folders, you stacked all of them in one pile and moved to freshen up. a shower was needed as you climbed into the steaming bathroom. after washing yourself, you climbed into bed and soon you were falling asleep. you fell asleep thinking about how tomorrow would be your first day of your new job.

a/n- thank you so much for the support of this book!!! I hope you guys stay tuned and enjoy the rest of the journey with yabdere!bts

oooh, curious question

》what other times do you think jin lied to you? hmmm?

♡♡♡♡♡SEND ME UR ASK ON WHAT U THINK ABT THATTTTT♡♡♡♡♡

[skamamoroma]

Please tell me how you remain so positive! Negativity doesn't seem to bother you and I'm jealous tbh haha I wish I could not let it bother me when people shit on shows/characters I love but I take it so personally and I don't know how to stop it. Do you have any advice? It's just because I know how this fandom operates sometimes I watch clips and instead of enjoying the content, I end up thinking about how the fandom is gonna misconstrued certain bits of it to be ~problematic~ sigh.

Ah love. It makes me sad that your fandom experience isn’t as fun as it should be!

First of all, I haven’t seen any pointless negativity for a long while which means I must have blocked well. That’s a tool. Use it! There’s no shame in it. Fandom is a subjective experience and it’s meant to be fun! If it isn’t for whatever reason then try to solve that. You dictate your own fandom experience to a large extent.

Also, I am long in the tooth. I’ve been on tumblr since 2009. I’ve been in fandoms for way longer than that too. It’s a fun part of my day and I don’t allow it to be anything other than that. Fandoms are based on (for the most part) fictional stuff. That’s supposed to be fun and creative and thought provoking. If fictional stuff starts to become too serious then I think people need to assess their approach.

Some fandom things ARE important and do bring up very serious and tricky topics. That’s a wonderful thing. For example, mental health or sexuality to use the ones for s3 but also so so much stuff that people have experience with or that they find hard to discuss or have VERY ingrained opinions about. There are certain things I DO NOT touch because I have views which have been dictated by personal experience (one of the reasons why some elements of s6 of Skam France atm are a no go for me) and I know many will not share my view! But that’s ok. People go through things and yes that part of it means people will have opinions. That’s a great thing! It ISN’T when those opinions are forced upon others. I’m all up for constructive criticism and for important chats in fandom, also for ensuring spaces are safe and behaviour appropriate. I’m NOT up for anything that goes beyond that into pointless negativity etc. It’s not fun for me so I leave it behind or remove it.

I guess, look at it this way. If you’re in a cafe with all of your friends and you are all going to order. You say you’re getting an iced latte and everyone else doesn’t like them. Does that stop you from getting one? Does it make you like it less? Someone tells you they had a really disgusting one once and they’re bad for you. You know you drink them in moderation and love them and they are a treat for you. Should you let that one person stop you from enjoying that treat?

Apply that same logic to fandom! It’s a kinda cheesy analogy but I hope it helps!

“Problematic” is a word I wish would be removed from modern speech as well as “discourse” and a few others. True “problematic” stuff should absolutely be raised. Most stuff labelled as “problematic” is not at all. It is someone not agreeing, not liking it, not applying objectivity. If there’s a legitimate reason why something is “problematic” then I’m all for chatting about it because perhaps I have something to learn! I have learned a lot from folks in fandoms. As Elia in Skam It said, we shouldn’t be talking about stuff we don’t know anything about. We can offer a view but those who KNOW should talk about it.

No show is perfect. None. I adore Skam Italia s2 but I still recognise a few issues, for example. It doesn’t destroy my love. I recognise that cultures and countries and approaches are different, language is different, people may not approach stuff on the same way and shows should be open to criticism (which is why I think what Wtfock have done a few times is really cool of them). It’s not a crime! Being wrong isn’t a bad thing. If you’re grown up enough to realise you maybe don’t know everything and can use it as a way to learn... then use it! And shows should take the same approach if criticism is valid and constructive... so that part of fandom is a great thing I think. It’s why I’ve always been honest about, for example, the way Ludo Bessegato or David H as show runners have really not done themselves any favours at times (if we’re sticking with Skam as an example!). Does it mean I hate them?! No! Ludo Besse is someone I have great respect for in many ways, he cares a shit ton, he has serious talent but I fully recognise he can be dramatic and also huffy and can fail to receive constructive criticism at times. Doesn’t stop him being a great dude! I am sure I stuff up at times too!!

Where it is toxic and unhelpful... it is often folks taking fictional stuff far too seriously, imposing their own views which do not require consensus, failing to see nuance or simply because they wish to be cruel. None of that is helpful and if you don’t wish to see it, you don’t have to.

I guess I’m also older. Look, I’m tired 😂 all the time. I also have a mental health condition for which distraction can help MASSIVELY. Fandom is a part of my day alongside all other stuff that adds a bit of fun and creativity and you get to meet lovely people. If that’s not what fandom is to you then try hard to make it so! I think I’ve seen it all at this point. I also recognise that I am a bit older and so maybe things don’t affect me as much. I don’t give a shit what people think. Genuinely! I am entirely who I am and love what I love with all of the important caveats that needs... and so I guess this is all the advice I have! I hope it helps and that you can enjoy fandom the way it should be enjoyed.

Life is hard as hell at the moment in MANY ways. Don’t make something designed for fun and escape into another issue to tackle. Come chat any time ❤️

Peter is my friend.

(Peter Parker x Reader)

Summary:

Spiderman catches someone intruding his room.

Warning:

Nothing.

Okay. So this is my first time I'm writing any fan fiction and I don't know what I had thought while writing this.

I'm sorry if there's any mistake cause English is not my first language. That's it. Enjoy. Let me know what you think about this and if you want second part.

Peter's p.o.v

Peter Parker, as usual, was doing his web stuff, doing the duties of friendly neighborhood spiderman, when he sensed something unusual from the alley near the building he lives. He went there to check what's going on. There was a girl in black pants and white hoodies, trying to push herself in his apartment through the window of his room.

'Wait what? My apartment? My room? Who is this girl intruding in Spiderman's room?' Peter tried to see the face of the girl. 'Is she aunt May?' Peter thought to himself. 'Stupid Peter, why would May stalk in her own house. Then who is she? Must be some intruder or worst, some enemy.' The last thought jolted him out from his thoughts. He looked back to her.

Now she is half inside in his room. Her legs are dangling outside the window. She desperately trying to keep herself in balance to not to fall on her butt.

'What. Is. She. Doing? This girl is really doing this first time. Let's help her to intrude my own room. At least then I can ask what's going on. I mean I can still ask but I don't know if she can answer.'

"Need some help there?" He asked her. She turn her face towards the voice. Actually, she tried to face the voice. "Well, whoever is speaking will be my saviour if they can take me out from this condition and save my butt. Please" she said between her breath.

Spiderman chuckled and opened the window to give her more space to enter in his - Peter's room. 'Wait. Peter Parker, you must not chuckle. She is stupid, but still an intruder.'

Y/n's p.o.v.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Y/n. You're such a stupid girl to get yourself in this situation. Seriously? That's how you're gonna do this whole task. That was just a dare, dammit. All you had to do is go in the room of the guy named Peter Parker. Spend few minutes there in his room and go back to Ned's house. But here you're trapped in a window. Who gave you that dare by the way? Yep, Ned fucking Leeds. After this, he is gonna die.

"Need some help there?" A voice came. Oh my! No fucking way. That's not how you planned this. No no no no no no. There's no one, there's no one. Calm down y/n. If there's someone then you can at least get out of this stupid window. "Well, whoever is speaking will be my saviour if they can take me out from this condition and save my butt. Please" The voice chuckled.

Huh! Did he just chuckled on me? Okay but at least he is helping. He lift the window further up and gave you the room to move and you stumbled inside the room. You stood up, cleaned the dust from your clothes and looked up. Wow! Oh no! This is Spiderman. You smiled awkwardly to him. His eyes (the thing which were looking like eyes) narrowed. Is he smiling or scaring.

"Hi" You said. You wanted the curtain behind you to swallow you. Now, how are you gonna run from this situation.

"So, is there any reason for you intruding in someone's room" he asked. His voice is awesome. No y/n find some good reason. Stop praising his voice and the fact that his muscles line peaking from his spandex.

"Who told you that I was intruding? I was not intruding. I was just..." You tried to reason.

"Then why were you dangling on the window. Was that some kind of yoga or exercise? Because last time I checked this is Peter Parker's home" He asked.

"Okay, I was trying to intrude in but that because of his family" you said with some fake confidence.

"My... I mean his family? What is this with his family?" He looked at you with what look like surprise.

Okay y/n, time to show your creativity. Weave a good story. Show an acceptable expression. "Yeah! Actually Peter is my friend and we were planning a road trip with our other friends. But he being coward of his family have no guts to talk about this at home. So I've took this in my hand to talk to his family and be his saviour. That's why I was entering in his room from window to have a secret meeting. That's all."

Peter's p.o.v.

Waoh! That's really a good story. My family? I'm coward? My friend? That's insane. "Oh! That's very pitiful for Peter." She nodded. "Why don't we sit here and wait for him. Then we can talk about his problem and may be talk to his family together. I'm sure they will listen to Spiderman. No?"

She looked at him as if he had grew two heads. " um, I think now he is not here so I should go from there. I can talk later to Peter. Actually he is a little cranky."

Oh so now I'm cranky too. "Hmm, cranky?"

"Yeah, he get mad when someone wait for him in his room. Too mad" she whispered as if someone gonna hear her other than him.

"That's more pitiful" he whispered, having fun in pretending someone else. "Okay, then you must not be there. You should go."

She smiled with relief "huh! Yep, I must go." She looked at the window. "I think it will be good if I will go from window. You know if his family find me there then...."

He nodded "yeah! I got it. Need some help to get out through this window?" She looked at him and giggled. Gosh! Her giggle is beautiful. He helped her to get her out of his house. They landed on the ground. She thanked him and turned around to go but he webbed her hand to the wall near her. She looked at him in surprise and horror.

Y/n's p.o.v.

No. You thought you were so close to get out of this madness. But no. How something can be so easy. She looked at the man in red and blue.

"Now, are you gonna tell me the truth? Or should I try something else" he narrowed his white lenses to almost black.

You thought Spiderman is just a guy who can't scare someone. But right now his posture is scaring shit out of you. He moved towards you and that's it. That's all take for you to spill the truth.

"I'm not Peter's friend I was just completing the dare."

"Completing the dare?" He stopped.

"That was Ned's idea. He told me it will be fun if Peter will find some stranger passing time in his room and I think that was bad idea." You murmured last part.

"You know Ned?" He asked. Does this guy know about everyone lives in Queen? Or we have a connection. Huh, nice sense of humour y/n.

He is still looking at you, expecting an answer.

"Yes, I know him. He is my friend?" Why are you asking this? Yes, Ned is your friend, stupid. You have lost your all senses. Okay, you must get the hell out of there. "Look, I'm sorry I lied but ..... You know I must go. The dare was just only for ten minutes and I think it's more than ten minutes so will you please take this stuff off from my hand."

"I think no." He said sternly.

"No? Why? Look I said sorry. I swear that I will never intrude in someone's room next time. I will not even enter in my own room through my own window."

He chuckled. This guy can change his demeanor in seconds. God you are loving this. No y/n no.

"Okay, you can go. But you know I will prefer to catch you intruding someone's house instead of those awful thieves." He said.

Did he just flirted with you. He is good in this. Your cheeks reddened. Y/n, think something witty to reply. "Oh! That can be arranged. May be i can intrude your house if you will give me the address." Wow! What a witty line?

He didn't reply for few seconds. Have you said something you must not said.

"You must go. But you better not do this again. You know not everyone is so helpful like me." With that he removed his web and left.

You looked at where he was swinging just before few seconds. Suddenly you jolted out from your thoughts with the beeping sound of your phone. That's Ned. You texted back that you're coming. You went back to Ned's house, replaying again and again what happened in last hour. The encounter with Spiderman was not that bad. May be we can meet again. Oh dear god! You want to meet him again. Maybe you must try to intrude in someone's house more. Shut up Y/n, what are you thinking?

ARMY PSA

Hello, fellow ARMY!

In light of recent events I feel like it’s time to address a few things.

We as ARMY have a bad reputation in the KPop community. People with bad attitudes and people who attack other groups, fandoms, and even members of BTS. This is unacceptable.

We should not have people say that they refuse to listen to or stan BTS because of ARMY.

Here are some Do’s and Don'ts for proper fandom behavior. Because whether we like it or not we DO represent our boys.

(I will be covering 5 areas and if anyone has anything to add, please do.)

1. Do’s and Don'ts for the Treatment of Bangtan Sonyeondan:

DO have a bias. (If you can’t choose, that’s okay too)

DON’T mistreat or attack other members who are not your bias.

They are a group. If you support one, you should support them all.

DO follow them on social media.

DON’T follow them around a city they’re visiting or around their home.

Stalking is NOT okay. Give them their privacy.

DO take pictures of them. In approved areas only.

DON’T break the rules that BigHit has put in place for taking pictures.

This applies to other rules as well. Those rules are in place for their protection and privacy as human beings.

DO go see them in concert in your country, state, area, etc. if you can.

DON’T purposely book a flight (or other transportation) you know they’re going to be on.

If you happen to be on the same transportation as them: Be respectful! Don’t bother them. Don’t take photos of them without their permission. If you happen to sit next to them or catch their eye: wave, smile, send finger hearts, etc. Show your love but treat them with the love and care they deserve as humans and our idols. If THEY offer to take a picture with you, then feel free. But they shouldn’t be living in fear of us, and Jin shouldn’t have to tell us to leave them alone. Common sense, people. Put yourself in their shoes.

DO watch their solo VLives.

DON’T ask for other members.

This is so important. They don’t HAVE to do them. They WANT to. Because they love us as much as we love them. If it’s not your bias and you don’t want to watch it… then don’t watch it. Simple. Asking for other members is so mean. Hobi should not feel like he has to pass on the phone to another member because he feels unwanted. Not only is it damaging to us Hobi stans, it hurts all of Bangtan. Especially Hobi. Or any of them. There are plenty of posts about this. So, I’ll leave it here.

2. Do’s and Don'ts for the Treatment of Other ARMY:

DO fangirl/fanboy with other ARMY about your favorite member(s).

DON’T attack other ARMY for their choice of favorite member(s).

Everybody has their own tastes.

DO support each other and make friends.

DON’T attack each other because of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated. Plain and simple. I won’t go any further into this subject, but this is soooo important and applies to everything on this list and everyone in your life. Hate only breeds hate. Let’s fight the hate with love and acceptance.

DO enjoy fanart, fan fictions, and any other fan-made things that are to your preference.

DON’T attack others for the things they enjoy, even if you don’t like it.

If you don’t like it and can’t look past it, just unfollow or walk away. No need to create drama. You have every right to voice your opinion, be angry and say whatever you want, but I urge you to treat others with respect and tolerance. Wouldn’t you want to be treated the same way? Every person has feelings. Also. Please don’t kink shame.

DO share fanart, fan fiction, fan-made stuff from the blogs, accounts you like.

DON’T, for the love of J-Hope, steal other people’s work and post it as your own.

If you want to repost on another site they are not on, want to translate ff into another language, etc. ASK THE CREATOR FOR PERMISSION. Each creator has their own rules and expectations from you as a reposter. (Is that even a word? It is now.) As a general rule, you need to link the original work to the original creator and their original post. There are plenty of posts about this, so I won’t say anything else on this subject.

DO thank and praise the creators for their work and for sharing it with the rest of us.

DON’T harass creators for updates or new content.

Creators work hard and are doing it on their own time for us to enjoy. Most have some form of FAQs posted for you to see. Search them out before you bombard them with questions they have already answered.

DO have fun at concerts, fan meets, fansigns, etc.

DON’T cause problems by pushing, shoving, hitting, yelling at other concert goers.

We are there to connect with each other over our love for the boys. By all means, make friends. But treat the people around you with the respect you would expect. Also. We are guests at venues. Please pick up after yourselves and treat staff with respect. They’re just doing their jobs.

3. Do’s and Don'ts for the Treatment of Other Idols/Groups/Bands/Artists (both Korean and non-Korean):

DO be happy for other artists’ wins.

DON’T attack them for winning over BTS.

It’s statistically improbable that they will win everything.

DO be respectful.

DON’T send hate or threaten them.

No need to be a jerk for no reason. We call that “petty”.

DO be supportive of collabs with other artists.

DON’T accuse other artists of using a collab to gain more fame.

The example of Wale and Namjoon is perfect. The behavior of some ARMY toward Wale is SHAMEFUL. Not only is it damaging to our reputation as fans, it damages the reputation of Namjoon. That is beyond horrible. They want to collaborate because they like the other’s music and respect them as an artist. Getting in the way of Namjoon making a connection with fellow artists is damaging to his career. Do you really want to be responsible for ruining an amazing opportunity for him?

4. Do’s and Don'ts for the Treatment of Other Fandoms:

DO be happy for other fandoms and their successes.

DON’T start fan wars by attacking their groups.

Again: petty

DO defend the boys from serious attacks by reporting users.

DON’T feed the trolls.

Engaging in arguments only makes the problem bigger. They want you to fight back. They’re trying to get a reaction out of you. Don’t let them have it. Also… Don’t be the person to start fan wars. If you see other ARMY behaving badly, please calmly and politely remind them who they represent.

DO take threats seriously.

DON’T try to handle it yourself.

Report. Report. Report.

5. Do’s and Don'ts for Social Media:

DO comment or reply to our boys’ posts. Show your love.

DON’T be inappropriate with your comments or replies!

Let’s all have some decorum, please. Refrain from being perverted towards them. And for the love of Hobi, DO NOT CALL THEM “DADDY” TO THEIR FACES. Online or in person. So not a good look.

DO share your fanart, poems, love letters, etc. with the boys.

DON’T share things that would make them uncomfortable.

Let’s keep it PG.

DO participate in Selca Day if you want.

DON’T be inappropriate.

Again: PG

DO respect their privacy.

DON’T share their location if you see them out somewhere.

Don’t make things difficult for them. Give them space. If you snap a few pictures because you saw them out and about at a museum or whatever… please wait to share it. Like 24 hours minimum.

Let’s just all behave with decorum and let’s show the KPop community that we are a positive force to be reckoned with. Let’s make the boys proud of us.

And this applies to more than just ARMY. This is a basic guideline for all fandoms and for life in general.

Maybe I should have just titled this: How To Be A Decent Human Being.

Thank you for sticking it out until the end. Please share and feel free to add anything I missed!
