LISTEN Miketrap is such an interesting concept I don't care if it's canonically impossible THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TRAGEDY WITH IT

My kingdom for the ability to focus on one reply at a time.  I have so many half-written posts it’s unreal.

it's really interesting to me how stan culture has turned even just like .. the concept of "bigger stan accounts" into some sorts hierarchy like ... how ppl will be like "oh we trusted you how could you possibly turn out to be different from the online persona you CHOOSE to project online! how could you deceive us!" like it's very funny to me i will be honest 😭

im confused.. how does exillium work again? like where do the kids go after school? do they have to stay in the natural territory’s and they’re basically homeless? do all of them get taken in by gnomes like tam n linh? what do they eat, what clothes???? aaaaah i don’t remember anything from the books about this

very valid thing to be confused about, as it's not really touched on much since the kotlcrew themselves don't need to worry about that. from what we've seen, it seems they just need to list a place where they'll go after school so that it can be on official records.

for the gang, this was that one tree Calla picked them up at. for everyone else it would probably be their actual residences, but I'm not sure exactly how that would be listed. I think they were just living wherever they could get by in the neutral territories, which for Tam and Linh was an old house/village thing they found where they lived near some gnomes who helped care for them (I know this probably won't happen, but I'd like to see Linh and Tam find them again, at the very least to just let them know they're okay, because from the gnomes perspectives they (the gnomes) got sick and when they got back the two kids they'd helped care for were gone)

as they said they were fortunate to have the gnomes, I think we can reasonably conclude that that was just luck. not everyone gets taken in.

I don't think they're provided access to food and water, so they'd need to figure that out themselves. maybe growing things or foraging for food, but that's not something they would've been taught so i think it's generally safe to assume that all the waywards were malnourished (and then?? when oralie gave them funding?? breakfast became sweets??? that's not gonna get them through the day). their one guaranteed "meal" was the single piece of fruit they got for lunch; this may have contributed to why they were so mad at sophie when everyone was forced to skip lunch because of her. She would have a warm meal waiting for her back at the hideout, but no one else did.

as for clothes: I think they're provided the uniform, but aside from that not really anything else. sophie and crew weren't in the same situation as everyone else at exillium, so we as the audience didn't need to know those specifics, they weren't relevant to her. and we only ever saw Tam and Linh at Exillium or right after, so if they did have other clothes they wouldn't have had time to change.

a lot of these details you "don't remember from the books" (paraphrased) are just because they're not actually there! the point Shannon wanted to make was that it was an awful place with horrible conditions, so to really hammer that home she went with really specific details that would inconvenience Sophie (like the one fruit lunch) instead of something more realistic. it had to affect Sophie, so some of the details are really extreme when you start applying them and thinking about how they'd work in practice, but that's precisely because they weren't supposed to make sense in practice, if that makes sense.

exillum as a whole just shouldn't exist, but since it does there's a lot we can learn about how the government functions and how it treats people who don't meet elven standards! this was an interesting ask so thank you!!

hi!! i've been reading up on your blog for a while now, and i'm sorry if you've answered this before, but i've been wondering who in your opinion would be the top tier idol dancers nowadays? and maybe performers as well, since personally i think a skilled performer doesn't really have to be all that great of a dancer. thank u for sharing ur insights with us!! they're very interesting :]

hello!! i have sort of answered this before (don't worry it was almost a year ago) with my top dancers post, and there's also this post where i discuss which idol dancers could keep up with professionals, of which there is some obvious crossover. as far as active idols who are skilled performers not exclusive of dance ability (all of these people are good dancers though):

junsu, whom now has both years of idol performance AND musical theatre performance and it shows. i wish he hadn't dropped pit a pat at basically the same time as taemin dropped idea because it slipped my radar at the time but i genuinely do not want to shut up about the choreography because holy SHIT. key, because we all saw bad love. changmin, because if chocolate and being the other half of tvxq for ten years hasn't convinced anyone the horrible disarming preacher act of devil surely did. kahi and sunye, thank god for mamadol + wooah hip (kahi white sunye red) and giving them a second chance because i missed them and we need more active second gen idols. dawn, because money is one of my all time favourite performances from an idol and frankly all these new boys could stand for a little more weird victorian waif in their vibes (here's a live version). utterly predictably: hongjoong and san, and yes this is the point where i plug the only fancam ever. and also: donghun. i don't always expect much of a main vocal, especially in a performance heavy group but donghun always delivers no matter what he's doing, whether it's a dance cover (nirvana shirt) or just a vocal stage.

anyway i'm genuinely glad the show is ending because i honestly believe it's an end to an Era of queerbait (it's the last hold-out), but even as i haven't watched the show in years, i'm still Surprisingly sad about it ending now that it is.

Bokuto and Kenma both constantly overstimulate you on accident ...

Bokuto overstims you because every time he goes down on you, he gets so excited. He just think you taste and feel like heaven so he rarely comes up for air and when he does, it’s a few short breaths before he’s going back down. My man grows gills down there, he’s got you constantly cumming around him. He also just never stops rutting into the bed, will overstimulate himself while overstimming you.

Kenma overstims you on accident. He’s just got you sitting on his lap while he plays on his computer, one headphone off to “listen” to you. One hand has 3 fingers buried inside of you and the other is rapidly switching between keyboard and mouse, and he’s so focused that he doesn’t realize you’ve cum on his finger until you’re death-gripping his wrist because it’s quickly went from being pleasurable to borderline painful

-fluffy(enjoy this terribly put together word vomit that I’ve probably sent you 98 variations of but this is what has pitched in my frontal lobe ... just overstim and bed rutting. Angst is gonna come later though)

FLUFFY I AM HOLLERING AT THE TOP OF MY LUUUUNGS

oh god i love the idea of accidental overstimulation so much!!!

okay first of all oh my god you got them both so so so right, too!! like i 100% agree with your characterization of them both!!!!!!

bo is suddenly incapable of hearing your pleas of stop and too much! and ah! h-hurts! he literally loses himself in it, buries himself in it to the point where is mind is overstimmed as well, unable to concentrate on anything else except for how good you taste and how good he feels. bo doesn’t know when to stop, doesn’t ever want to stop; constantly on the hunt for more, and more, and more, until he’s shuddering violently with every lazy roll of his hips against the soiled mattress, and your feet are on his shoulders, heels digging into the taut muscle and pushing, begging him to stop just for a second, please!

kenma doesn’t even realize how slippery and soggy his hand has become, doesn’t even feel the ache in his stiff wrist from being bent at such an angle for an extended period of time, too engrossed by his game to really care, until your nails are clawing at his flesh and scraping against his skin, until your whines are directly in his ear as you frantically and urgently beg him to stop, until your entire body is ferociously trembling against him. (but he thinks it’s pretty hot that you came so much, that you endured it for that long until you were sobbing into his neck and wailing out the word stop <3)

i just gotta say, i’m also so in love with the idea of like, someone just letting u use them to get off while their busy doing something else (like i wrote about kuroo doing this, kenma doing this kinda, and shig doing this in lil drabbles) so MY GOSH fluffy bb you really got me with this one ehehehe <33 thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts with me!!! they were not at all terrible sweetpea i LOVED these <3 n i’m ready for the angst whenever u wanna share ehehehe

speaking of having your "ah yes this is about me, autistically" At Work Social Events moments lmao definitely like at the last job i had for a little over a year there there'd be plenty of bullshit but one of the most definite [and that's the autistic force field where w/o conscious effort or coordination the collective group excludes you as this Exception / has no interest in you] moment was when some coworker was having a party with like virtually everyone invited and this coworker (who was friendly with me because of a workaround which was my being in specific people's good graces when Handshake lgbtq) sort of awkwardly extended the invite to me like oh i'm sure you Could come when they'd been hired like for weeks or maybe a month to my half year or more lmfao like ohh right it's not a [this is mostly b/w people working in This section (b/c the coworker semi inviting me had the same position as me too)] & there's no particular difference b/w me & this other person where they should be in any group i'm not in, it's just the experience i've of course already had where you're naturally an exception/outlier anyways
