Miles 42 headcannons pls?

EARTH 42 MILES MORALES HEADCANNONS

A/N: OK, I never usually write stuff like this so please correct me if I messed up on some stuff!

WARNING: I dont speak spanish so I will be using google translate, lol. However, if anyone is a translator and can help me out please do!

BE PREPARED FOR: POSSESIVENESS, BLOOD, VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, HEAVY TOPICS (DRUGS GANGS, ETC), AND DARK+NONCHALANT MILES TELL ME IF I MISSED ANY.

Earth 42 Miles is definitely a nonchalant person in general. After his dad was taken away from him he feels like he has nothing left to say to anyone about anything. He definitely struggles in relationships with this character trait.

I like to believe he keeps girlfriends but doesn't keep the title of a player. I feel like he dates a ton of girls to fill the void of that missing love he got from his father...you know?

I also believe that most of his relationships fall out because he doesn't just swoon after the girl because like I said before he has a nonchalant behavior.

If he was to get a long-term girlfriend. He would get attached really quickly and most definitely would not play about her.

The more and more deeper yall get into the relationship the more and more possessive he gets.

He's really possessive because he feels like you will slip away from him. Like his dad did.

___________________________________________________________

Earth 42 Miles became the prowler because it is his way of acting out.

After his dad died, he slipped into a depressive episode that kept replaying, replaying & replaying. There's already enough stress on his mom with being a single parent, her job, and trying to keep the bills paid.

So him being a "bad" kid and getting into fights would not help her at all. So when Uncle Aaron introduced this job to him he was immediately in.

Killing these innocent people allows him to let out all his vexation on the city that brought his father to death.

He comes every night in bloody clothes, with purple bruises painting his brown complexion.

In all honesty, he's fucking miserable.

____________________________________________________________

Miles 42 definitely has the habit of speaking Spanglish.

Since he converses communication from his Mother to Uncle Aaron.

He definitely has A+ in Spanish. (LMFAOOOO i just thought this was funny to add in here)

Spanish is the language he speaks when he's angry

Like, for example when he's beating someone to death senselessly (im sorry i don't know how else to put this..)

He speaks Spanish in anger.

¿Dónde está el dinero, hijo de puta?

¡Deja de gritar antes de que te alimente a las ratas de la calle!

....He speaks very out of character when hes killing

______________________________________________________________

In all honesty if he had some free time on his hands he woud kill some actual bad people, like robbers,muggers, gangs...etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But in my opinion he's just a kid whos trying to fill a void from his dead father and he just needs love!!

______________________________________________________________

IM SORRY IF THIS SUCKS AND IF ITS SHORT! I TRIED LOL

[discluded]

NOT TO BE THAT PERSON but as a fellow pisces we are loyal af nd the standars are HIGH. And apo and the stories of him rejecting ppl at the level of miss universes (i cant lol) its rly giving me that once he finds his person he will be loyal as hell. And mile as a capricorn, i dont think this dude is shy when people gives him compliments, he’s only shy when it comes from a person he admires eeeep! But when mile said he shows love thru actions than words its so true! Lastly… that recent interview and mile knowing apo’s bought 4 lipbalms and lyk 12 desserts… HE IS OBSERVANT AND APO’S FACE IS SOOO HAPPY LOL. Ok im done i had to get it out 🤣

4 LIPBALMS AND 12 DESSERTS 😭 Apo's face was...Soooooo

🍒when he buys something that he likes, he's gonna buy 5,6,7,8,9 of it.There's the most recent one that i remembered where he bought this thai dessert which is piak poon/thai pandan pudding from a shop that he loves. He said he's going to buy 12 or 13 of them right? 🥐*nodded* smiling 🍒at first i thought he was just exaggerating or joking but he really bought those a lot. If (talking) bout the most recent one it was a lipbalm. That's for him to use and he bought 4 of them. 🥐*laughs*

translation by 🍓🥛

LOOK AT HIM. THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN DELIGHTED TO BE STUDIED LIKE A BUG UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF HIS EVERY HABIT BY THE BOYFIE. HE'S DELIGHTING IN THE ATTENTION!!!

But for real, aside from the astrology element which I have no clue about, Apo has his own money and he's so handsome he really can pull whoever he wants. It's clear what he longs for is the emotional support, connection, and understanding 🥺 and yes, he does love to be spoiled! but that's just an effect of the relationship. Apo mentioned that when he went to New York, he had to sell his camera originally because he didn't want to rely on his parents anymore... he has his own pride and is self-sufficient! And according to some fan reports, he donated most/all the money from his birthday event.

Mile's not just another pretty face to Apo, their connection is genuine and solid and they fought for it together 😘

would like to hear u talk about any of your aus.. like legend of hei au or just any

YAY ok omg ill talk about this loh one cuz i just rewatched the movie the other night and im currently rewatching the webseries and it is so fresh on my mind and i am so passionate rn...jic any of yall hvnt seen the series and dk what im talking about ill give a brief run down of loh lore so yall have a little more context (smile

‘the legend of luo xiao hei’ is a chinese animated webseries that currently has two seasons and a 2019 prequel movie ‘the legend of hei’, about a young black cat spirit (specifically known as an elfin) boy named xiao hei and his adventures..the plot among all of the webseries and movie is broad so i wont get into specifics of that since my rotmhs loh au will take place in a rotmhs canon divergence type thang

the world of legend of hei takes place in a world in which humans and elfin coexist harmoniously, with elfin either being secretly intigrated into human society or live peacefully and reclusively in their natural habitation birthplaces or in a guild..elfin are immortal pure spirits who are formed by the coalescence of natures natural energy, though due to humans limited understanding throughout history they have regarded elfin as gods or demons due to their power and extraordinary capabilities..elfin also have the ability to shapeshift between the spirit form they were born in and their elfin form, which for the most part is typically humanoid looking (ex. xiao hei in spirit form is a little black cat w a blue tongue and green ears, but in his elfin form hes a little boy w cat ears and a tail, due to his lack of prowess w shapeshifting he cant get rid of his ears and tail yet, a feat he will learn w age) some elfin however either dont have the ability to shapeshift into a human form or just choose not to, as a low majority of elfin have disdain for humans

throughout history, humans understanding of elfin shift among time periods. in the early days of man, when all humans saw were spirits with incredible otherworldly power and strength, they revered elfin as gods or demons. in loh lore however, there are no such things as actual gods/demons/etc, all known gods are actually just extremely affluential elfin..ie nezha and sun wukong are canon within loh but are not gods, just very well documented elfin lol… ‘god’ is essentially a just title elfin can obtain once theyve reached a certain legendary notoriety status within human society in lohverse

EDIT: heres an official comic about modern humans views on elfin for visual context

another suuuuper important feature in loh is the ability of elemental manipulation and realms. all living beings are born w an innate elemental spiritual type that, with conscience effort, can be honed in on and trained to be made more powerful..humans even have this ability but are mostly unaware. there are several spiritual types but off the top of my head the ones i can remember are metal, ice, water, fire, wood, and space.. all beings are usually born with one spiritual type which is their base type and the strongest they will ever have, but they can also learn other spiritual types..sometimes though, some beings are born with two innate spiritual types, an example being xiao hei who was born w a metal and space spiritual type

space spiritual types are the more rarer spiritual types that exist and unlike other spiritual types, where if u lose ur spiritual cultivation u can eventually cultivate it back, space is connected directly to ur realm so if you lost the cultivation of ur space type then you would die.. realms are literally personal physical realms that are connected directly to your soul and spiritual energy that each being has and it grows depending on the strength of ur spiritual cultivation, it pretty much is a white void that u can store physical objects in. other people can come into ur realm but as you are the master of ur own realm, any foreign person entering it can be subject to ur control (u can teleport, physically control others, etc etc in ur realm..u are essentially god within ur realm)

OKKKK I THINK THATS EVERYTHING NOW I CAN FINALLY GET INTO THE ROTMHS PORTION OF THIS (GLASS SHATTERING SOUND) this is already so long and i feel like its gonna get longer so im just gonna put this jnder a cut teehee⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

SOOOO LALALALAAA in my rotmhs loh au, everything in rotmhs verse is essentially the same as rotmhs canon aka canon divergence except now it has all of the same spirituality and elfin existence in it that loh does.. all the great sects and families are the same, all the villains and deuteragonists are the same, the only thing that is majorly different is that chung myung is an elfin (grins)

unlike in rotmhs canon where baby chung myung was abandoned on the front gates of mt hua, in this au he is an elfin who was formed among the plum blossom trees of mount hua..his formation was probably witnessed by the sect members of mt hua so he was swiftly taken in by them

in loh, when an elfin is formed, they are always surrounded by other elfin and spiritual animals to welcome them into the world and to give them a community, however since chung myungs formation was so close to a human settlement and witnessed by so many other humans, and maybe only a few other spiritual animals but no elfin, his role in life was pretty much decided for him

EDIT: heres an official comic of an elfin being born btw just for a little extra visual context hehe

chung myung was formed as a baby tiger elfin, who later in life can transform back and forth between a human form and a big ass melanistic tiger form, and due to the humans in this time periods lack of understanding of elfin, he was quickly decided to be mount huas own guardian 'god'.. pretty much i imagine he was raised the same way though bc no matter how much mt hua tried to lavish and spoil their own little ‘god’, chung myung is still chung myung so they got over their reverence of him pretty fast and started treating him like their littlest sect brother instead teehee (and chung myung wldntve had it any other way, i feel like if they kept spoiling him nonstop he wldve gotten annoyed by it pretty fast)

chung myungs elemental spiritual ability in this au ive decided is gonna be wood since he was formed among the plum blossom trees..i think itd be really funny to see a young chung myung growing a plum blossom tree in the middle of mt huas courtyard much to the faint inducing astonishment of the sect members hehe.... he also has a metal subtype cuz hes trained so much around swords he just inevitably cultivated the ability

all elfin are born w the inherent knowledge of their being, but since chung myung was pretty much born and raised among humans, his etiquette and sociability amongst other elfins is lost.. he wears his elfin features amongst humans with pride (his tiger ears and tail, hes able to shapeshift them away, he just chooses not to) and among mortals and even other members of the jianghu, he is still seen as an untouchable god to be respected and worshiped, or sometimes even as a demon by those who despised him…..i dont imagine this really gets to him or changes his personality in any meaningful way, hes still the same chung myung we all know and love….🩷

i didnt actually think about tang bo at all in this au but just to squeak him in at the last second, ive decided while he is still an immortal human, i will give him a refined metal manipulation ability.. i imagine what w the tang family being talented welders, their mastery over metal manipulation is incredible, however lacking….. when tang bo meets chung myung for the first time his metal manipulation is underdeveloped but after intentional training and sparring w chung myung for years and years, it develops into near perfect mastery yayy

mostly in this au i just like imagining chung myung in his big tiger form walking around tha sect, lazing around and sleeping in sunny patches or hanging out w chung mun or gnawing on chung jins arm LOL “god” or not, chung myung is still their annoying ass brother hehehehe

smth ive also thot about is that, in loh lore, when an elfin ‘dies’ they dont so much as DIE die, but the natural energy that formed them disperses back into nature, which makes me think that w enough intentional cultivation its not impossible to reform urself after a few decades or even centuries....so i imagine during the final battle when chung myung dies facing cheonma, cm doesnt really die die hes just dispersed and it takes him a hundred years to reform himself, though hes weak and reforms back into his originals selfs fifteen year old body..

eek ok thats kinda all i have to say about this au rn my thumbs hurt from typing sooooo bad watch lxh and loh byeeee

EDIT: nvm im back i have more i want to say..

in this au, chung myung being a minor 'god' was well known and well documented so even after the war and destruction of the sect, the jianghu and every mount hua generation afterwards knew that chung myung was smth otherworldly so the legend of the plum blossom sword saint lingered heavily on mount hua, even more so than in rotmhs canon because after chung myung died, theres never been another case of an elfin knowingly making such direct contact with humans since.. ofc theres been elfin hiding and living amongst humans in stealth but none have ever given themselves away or flaunted their abilities like chung myung had, so their existence, to humans, is still incredibly rare and unknowable..

i imagine when chung myung came back he would still hide his identity, as well as his tiger ears and tail, just like in canon because i feel like the uproar of mount huas guardian god returning would be even louder and put too much attention on the vulnerable rebuilding sect.. however since chung myung reformed weaker than he used to be, his grasp on shapeshifting is still a little wonky so sometimes he'll randomly accidentally have his ears or tail poof into existence lol.. luckily no one has seen it happen tho or else his identity would be revealed

[wrongcaitlyn]

hiiiii tawny I had free time for the first time in like WEEKS and so I caught up on your solangelo au week posts and now for my thoughts:

so american: YES. I LOVE. SO WORTH THE WAIT. NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY THE VIBES WERE VIBING. I read this as soon as it came out so the thoughts have left my head but trust I loved it.

renegades au: omg I love it. v v excited to see where it goes. also may have convinced me that I need to read renegades?? but I love the dynamic that the anarchists have. also I love scientist percy for some reason like it’s def not the easiest power you could’ve went with but I like the idea of him being a more behind-the-scenes guy bc I think that’s what he’d choose for himself if given the chance. also your percabeth dynamics are on point in literally every fic from this week (even tho they’re just in the background lmao).

new rome au: I think this route for nico is like. actually way more plausible than what happened canonically. like he DOES have way more friends in new rome than in chb. dont get me wrong im glad he stayed in canon but this was SO INTERESTING. I love the idea of nico healing on his own and separate from will. I feel like it takes away some of the… unhealthy codependency of their relationship LOL. once again the percabeth dynamics🫶🏻 also I feel like some space from percy and then seeing him while he and annabeth are in college more often would be good for their friendship??? like idk I am a big fan of taking ur space when needed. also risk is SUCH a will song. boy was in love with a dude before they even had a conversation.

nerds au: as a nerd a nerds au is something that can be so special LMAO I love this dynamic perhaps bc it is also my life (esp in hs). all of the character dynamics in this fic were just. chef’s kiss. I loved. I think you translated nico’s unhealthy habits from canon into a hs au in a really interesting, believable way bc nico WOULD stay up late to do hw out of spite. maybe not canon nico but a nico who grew up in the (possible public) school system. also I love the quiz bowl addition (at my hs it was called scholar bowl so sorry if I type that instead LOL) bc I had so much fun in quiz bowl. I made some of my best friends thru it :) are u in quiz bowl?!? the rules were way too accurate to be written by someone unfamiliar with it lol.

long story short I love all ur fics and will forever be excited to see an update to any one of them <3

oh my GOD. you have literally made me die dead. kicking my feet and giggling at this AHHGSDF

i'm SO glad that you liked so american!!!! was highly anticipating ur response bc u convinced me to actually write it so!!!! i'm so happy <33

ABSOLUTELY READ RENEGADES. srsly it's such a good series like i will recommend it to EVERYONE. the anarchists dynamic is so😭😭 keep in mind that this is a heavy au of renegades, so the dynamic is slightly different (+ a very different ending in the series, i took a lot of creative liberties) but i'm so glad that you liked it!! and YESLKSDJF i just realized that i had background percabeth in all of my solangelo week fics. which like. THEYRE SO ICONIC THEY HAVE TO BE EVERYWHERE i think there are some couples that i absolutely LOVE but i prefer to actually write them as background couples?? like i obsess over their dynamics, but i like it from an outsider's perspective and not as the main plotline (at least when writing fics) so i very much enjoyed including them in all of these

honestly SAME with the new rome au. like. absolutely love that nico managed to make a home in chb, but like?? reyna jason AND hazel were all in new rome... i honestly wouldn't have blamed him if he took that opportunity instead!!! i think this would be a really cool au to expand on and like actually make a full multichap but i am trying desperately to not turn everything into 100k monstrosities. i tried limiting myself to 5k words and didn't even manage that so. but i definitely think he would've grown a lot + gotten some healthier coping mechanisms when living with all of his friends, then meeting percy a year later, and THEN going into a relationship with will - and ofc, will is happy with whatever ends with a solangelo endgame. he's their own number one shipper!!

I'M SO GLAD U LIKED THE NERDS AU nico's characterization was definitely something that i considered (and, tbh, that i consider in all au's, because trauma and coping mechanisms do not often translate the exact same over universes - characters are always going to behave slightly different in other situations, so it's always exciting to see how that works!!). one thing that DOES translate throughout every universe is that he has no semblance of a sleep schedule; this time it's just due to hw instead of tartarus nightmares! SAME WITH THE QUIZ BOWL and yes i am part of the club!!! genuinely made my friend group through that, and we actually did what was in the fic irl - as in, we made a discord server and like quizzed each other over that. my team lost be an insane amount. i am nowhere near as skilled as nico and will. i maybe have gotten, like, 4 questions right in my two years of being part of the club (though i will use the excuse that my anxiety makes it VERY hard to hit the buzzer. i hate being wrong more than not answeringslkdf) but!!!! i do think nico and will would SLAY at quiz bowl, they both definitely feel like people who have random encyclopedic knowledge on the most niche topics

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH ILY <333

[smolsleepyfox]

How many works do you have on AO3? 13

What's your total AO3 word count? 346862

What fandoms do you write for? I am very much inactive in all of them but I have a fic for Resident Evil 4 and for Our Flag Means Death that I really should finish, alongside my second Gloryhammer Reverse!AU and an original work about werewolves :>

Top five fics by kudos? Todos los perros van al cielo (RE4) How to be an actual fucking Pirate (A guide by Israel Hands) (OFMD) Not the brightest candle on the cake (GH) The wizard in the wardrobe (GH) The Scourge of Auchtermuchty: A Tale from the Kingdom of Fife (GH)

Do you respond to comments? Absolutely!! It just might take me 500 years because i don't open AO3 for ages, sorry about that ;-;

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I actually dont write angsty endings that much? Life is sad enough. I guess Calamity is kind of angsty, but that's a prologue. In the fanfiction.net /fanfiktion.de days I had some Hellsing fics lying around, also probably some stuff from my Portal days.

What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Considering I have the horrible habit of creating massive projects and never writing/ posting the ending despite knowing what it is, arguably none of them. I'll give you The Queen of Fife though since it's really fluffy and cute.

Do you get hate on fics? Not really. I used to get people asking hy I wrote genderbend/this character/this AU, especially in the Hellsing days but not anymore

Do you write smut? I have a document for my original characters but nothing else lol

Craziest crossover? No crossover for me, sorry!

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Afaik no, I hope it stays that way.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Years ago I was asked if [guy who asked me] could translate my Aperture Tag fic The Paint Escape into Russian. We had a debate about how to approach the protag's use of pronouns (my fic uses they/them but Russian is heavily gendered) and I gave him my blessing. I never finished that fic, so idk where we stand. In general as long as you ask I'm fine.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not a full fic but a friend contributed a chapter to The Scourge of Auchtermuchty: A Tale from the Kingdom of Fife

All time favorite ship My obsession with something changes too often to give an all-time favorite, and nobody wants to hear about my OCs so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I mean I do hope I can finish all of them at some point? Especially since I got everything mapped out already. But realistically... Portal isn't happening probably, and the Reverse!AU was more of a vibe than plot thing, so its chances are slim.

What are your writing strengths? Descriptions I think, and sentence structure. I love playing with short/long sentences and punctuation for both impact and humor.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I'm not categorically against it as long as it's realistic and with purpose. Monolingual people look up how multilingual people speak please.

First fandom you wrote in? The earliest I can remember is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I never finished that one either I think :,D

Favorite fic you've written? I did some ambitious fic for Hellsing that I did a ton of historical research for, but of my new ones I'm very fond of How to be an actual fucking Pirate (A guide by Israel Hands) and did I mention I have an original project?

If you were forced to write only one genre for the rest of your life (like James Patterson lol) what would you want it to be? Urban fantasy I think. If I want to branch out I can intriduce time travel for that period piece hehe

I tag @theineated @lablade512 @nelkey and @mandolinearts

[aseriesofunfortunatejan]

Another funny detail about the ugly ass French translations (sorry bestie... whoever the translator is. I'm a little hater,) is within Guillaume's description.

It goes: "Cheffe de l'équipe antiterrorisme des Pacificateurs d'Amaterasu Corporation, elle est une femme turbulente et éloquente, dont l'enthousiasme n'a d'égal que le dynamisme."

First of all, >cheffe

But anyway, there's nothing incorrect about it, but it wouldn't be uncommon to use "c'est une femme turbulente [...]" instead of "elle est une femme turbulente [...]". "C'est", which technically stands for "cela est", is impersonal, typically used for objects, but in the way this is phrased, it's typically what would be used here. Alternatively, "il s'agit d'une femme turbulente [...]" would have been correct: either way, there isn't a particular need to hammer down the feminine personal pronoun in this sentence, though they did, probably as to be nice and not imply that a woman is an object. Or some shit. (Or maybe it's just a regional habit I'm missing out on, lol.)

The thing is, Guillaume's Japanese profile actually hammers down the fact that Guillaume uses "kore", which is an impersonal pronoun. I asked my same old unpaid intern about it, and he couldn't think of any particular meaning to it, other than she possibly doesn't see herself as a person, or just uses a very weird pronoun for whatever reason. (I can't really tell if this is similar, or different, from using it/its pronouns.)

Basically, what I'm saying is, the French description went out of its way to use a personal pronoun when it wasn't really needed, whereas it appears that Guillaume specifically uses impersonal pronouns.

Why.

re: the taemin thing (sorry im so annoying about this but i feel you wanna talk about it as much as me!). i wanted to mention his blinking habit too, but as someone who is not autistic myself (not diagnosticated at least lmao) i was afraid it was just me making assumption but you noticed it to so!!! cool. anyway i could say many more things but the line between being just a strange little dude and being a strange little autistic dude is so thin!!! (like the fact that he eats random stuff at unlikely times of the day or that he's so forgetful). ANYWAY!!!!!! i just really love him and how shinee adapts their behaviour around him to make sure hes comfortable

YES ur never annoying i absolutely wanna talk abt it forever 🥺🥺

(this got kinda long so im putting it in the readmore lol)

but yeah the blinking habit for real !!! ur definitely not wrong to pick up on that ! (i even sponged it from him sometimes lol x_x) its cool that non autistic ppl have an interest in this stuff tbh :3 i think that more ppl understanding autism and all the weird specifics of it is rly the key to our happiness ykno 🤔because most non autistic ppl know literally. jack shit.

also the eating thing YEAH 😭😭 thats also so autism to me. shinee is so good to him !!!! u can tell that even if they dont know WHY he is the way he is, that theyve figured out how he works and how to treat him....

there was such a moment in the 15m thing when key was asking taemin to "prepare" the veggies... and taemin got such a look of dread where hes like "what...... wdym.. ?" & kibum has to be like "CUT THEM taemin" lol 💀💀 its such a silly moment but its SOO quintessential to me for both what its like to be autistic (ie: what the fuck are u saying to me "prepare" this. as if im supposed to know what that means), and what its like to be close with an autistic person (kibum having to kinda remember to "translate" what hes saying for taemin so he knows what hes talking about, it reminds me of how my partner is with me sometimes 🥺)

also back to when im saying they probably dont know why he is the way he is, even if they know all his ins and outs, i think this is probably the same for taemin 🤔 he strikes me as someone who prob doesnt know hes autistic, just knows hes "weird" and "different" and has figured out how to live like that despite. reminds me of myself kind of, cos i wasnt "diagnosed" (used loosely) until maybe 19 ? which is still young but at that point i had already been thru school and everything not knowing x_x its definitely possible to figure your life out & how you work without a diagnosis, and i think it happens all the time, but its also really really hard. i think having a name for it and something u can actually research & learn about is rly helpful. so even tho hes like 30 now im still kinda always hoping he realises 🤔 if it makes his life that much easier ykno ?

this is also why it pisses me off so much that ppl get THAT up in arms when this is brought up. ppl act like falsely "accusing" someone of being autistic will ruin their life, when really its basically harmless (obviously unless ur directly using it as an insult). even the opposite might be true 🤷‍♂️ someone can rly benefit from realising about themselves. also why im so pro self dx !!! even if everyone is "misdiagnosing" themselves these days (🙄 which prob isnt true anyway) like. whats the worst that could happen ? why does it matter if someone is wrong... they might still find some info that will help them 🤷‍♂️ theres not really any autism "resources" that are in scarcity so i dont rly care if someone thinks they are even if theyre not ?

[kangals]

"colies are very "decaf" herder IMO" hehe, I call these breeds GSD!lite :D White swiss, Bohemian shepherd... was wondering what else you'd desribe as decaf herders. Or any other breed group. Love talking dog breeds. Thank you!

honestly i wish i had a more interesting answer for you, but tbh i don't really know! i only know much about collies because i was interested in them specifically and thus did a lot of research into what it was like owning one - most other breeds/groups don't really interest me in a "would like to own" way, so that's not something i've really looked into. plus keep in mind that i refer to collies as decaf herders/herder-lite and i do stand by that, but that doesn't mean they're not still herding dogs at their core- if you're the type of person who hates herding dog habits/mannerisms, you'd still hate living with a collie. you'd just probably find them somewhat more tolerable than like, a border collie or ACD. but if you're like me and like herding dogs but just have a low tolerance for hyper-intense bullshit, they're a great fit.

i was trying to think of a sighthound breed that's less "sighthoundy" than the others but honestly i dont think there really is one, and that's something i really like about that group! i think it's cool that, because the breeds are relatively unpopular in a pet setting, they get to stay overall true-to-form. and dont get me wrong, im not one of those "all dogs must be working and pet lines are an affront to god" people, because i think a dog's ability to live as a "normal" companion is actually incredibly important to ensuring the survival of your breed. and a lot of hounds (both sight and scent) have the benefit of being dogs that were bred to work well together in groups and have a good off-switch for chilling when not actively out working, which translates well to pet homes. i'd confidently guess the majority of sighthounds in pet homes in the US are retired racing greyhounds, and thats a great example of a dog that's purpose-bred but still adapts well to pet life. collies are similar - still herders, still capable of doing herding work, but easy to transition to pet life.

but as for the other breed groups, i don't really have enough experience to give an informed opinion! though i'd welcome some thoughts from other people who are knowledgeable about their specific group of choice. sorry this didn't really answer your original ask lol

Does anyone know of any articles, forum posts, videos, blogs that have mentioned a person's results studying chinese through automatic language growth (AGL) like a full 1000+ hour course, or comprehensible input lessons? Or even people sharing results after doing the "study 10,000 sentences" method. But I'm most curious how much progress people made studying chinese through chinese input.

There's well known Thai AGL courses (and video lessons on youtube), and there's enough learners i can find some discussion of student results after X years. It sounds like in the thai lessons, students ultimately did pick up correct tones (although some agl teachers prioritized tone specific lessons before doing agl lessons).

I'm curious if in a model of "use only chinese language resources" without explicit pronunciation instruction would actually result in good or even fairly understandable chinese pronunciation, since agl courses (and some comprehensible input courses) insist good pronounciation will simply Result when the student finally feels ready to talk after a lot of input.

A lot of japanese study methods that prioritize input learning, include not needing to try to output (speak) the language until 1000-2000 hours in. And ive seen many of those studiers (Refold Method, AJATT) mention they spent purposeful time on learning pitch accent when they did start outputting. So it seems good natural accent was NOT guaranteed just by learning from lots of japanese input. Now, the AGL method of learning would argue that learning the Refold/AJATT way includes LOTS of translation into ones native language and all of those times would've worsened a learners accent and impacted their automatic language growth in japanese. Basically the agl idea is: when you use your native language, attempt to translate and explain the target language, you come up with imperfect not-quite equivalents so you ingrain many tiny errors into your understanding of the new language. Which makes some sense. You can tell a learner for example "say 2nd tone chinese as if raising voice at the end of a question in english" or "say j like jeep for pinyin ji etc" and the learner will do it like in english... which may be somewhat similar to the chinese but is not the actual chinese sound. AGLs idea is that you learn entirely in the target language, NO translations or approximations, so you learn what things mean and how theyre said by experiencing it. So i would imagine the AGLs method would assume Refold/AJATT learners of COURSE need to study pronunciation eventually, since they heavily relied on translation for at least their initial learning, so they'll have ingrained "similar to target language but not actually correct" habits.

I cant use myself to test results either lol. With french I had initial pronunciation instruction, then did more purposeful pronunciation study 2 years in, and while I know my accent is NOT perfect I am also aware my accent is much better because of the pronunciation study. Because before the 2nd pronunciation study at two years in, my french sounded so bad i could barely identify it AS french myself. And my listening skills were likewise attrocious, i could barely understand spoken french. After that purposeful pronunciation study, i found it much easier to watch french shows and listen to french. I dont think i wouldve even been understandable-to-french speakers except with great struggle, before the pronunciation study. But i learned at first primarily through reading french so to be fair i had very little listening-foundation in french.

With japanese I studied pronunciation specifically to some degree. I have also paid purposeful attention to listening resources. While i assume my pronunciation is NOT perfect, i do feel reasonably confident its understandable. And it generally has been. I took time at the beginning learning specific sounds, and my first teacher way back when in japanese 1 made us SHADOW and graded us on matching the dialogue audio example we shadowed as perfectly as possible. So purposeful pronunciation study was very much a part of it. I havent studied pitch accent, but ive looked it up and try to listen for it. Im not confident on ability to do that correctly and i think its likely im often making mistakes there.

With chinese, i studied pronunciation for 2 months early on, then again for about a month every several months. I even used an app to grade me on pronunciation. And using the app definitely helped me improve in some areas. I still am quite bad in some areas. I am still studying pronunciation. Ive done a ton of listening study, and while i can hear elements of pronunciation, my ability to replicate what i can Hear is not as good as hearing it. So im not sure how that gets improved. Maybe i need to do MANY drills, maybe i just have to talk a Lot more. Still working on it.

Point is, i did use english and translation and pronunciation study materials in ALL study of languages ive done. So i have no idea if AGL, like it says by using only the target language, actually produces a great correct accent. And im curious if tones actually get learned properly, if theres never any formal explanation of them existing or what to listen for. Because even some ALG programs i found mentioned tone drills for thai Before agl classes (at least for some earlier AGL courses that existed). Id also be interested if anyone did AGL/comprehensible input (like Dreaming Spanish videos with no translations) for stuff like spanish or french and described their accent and output after 1000 hours. But id rather see results for languages with tones.

Tldr: AGL lessons theory is your accent will be great, as will your grammar, if you learn only in your target language for 1000-2000 hours before trying to output once you feel naturally you wish to. I am wondering if anyone knows of anything shared they've seen from chinese learners who used only study material in chinese (no native language translation) about the results they had?

how DO alternates get attached, anyway? what does it even do other than make you not wanna kill people?

wish i knew bro it would make shit so much easier on me

but fr. its hard 2 really give a concrete answer bcuz us alts see attachment as like. taboo basically. if gabe catches you getting attached to a human it uh. its not pretty. other than the torture you get for disobeying Him you get like... exiled almost, or... whats the word He used once?

excommunicated. yeah  that one.

there have been studies on attachment though, i think the u.s... uh... well idr the exact name but it was some fancy shmancy government dept thats done a couple . havent read em though LOL

anyways. ig i can try to explain as best i can from my experience w attachment . n atlas can chime in if he wants too idk and uh . ill try to make it make sense (spoilers it probably still wont lmao). this isnt a definitive like... guide or anything im basically just posting general rambles abt what ive learned over my days lol

so. i think all alternates want to be loved, no matter how far down theyve buried that want. were conditioned from creation to think that gabriel is the only one who can love us, but He wont unless we follow His command to the letter. and what that translates to is killing humans senselessly . and not only that but like. us alts... we like violence. we want to kill. its integral to our beings. none of us can really be "nice" or "good" 24/7 and that uh ... tends to sound scary to the average person . so even if we did all collectively decide to turn against gabe and humans like... magically forgave us for killing and kidnapping thousands of people, its not like we could ever be "normal" members of society. its not like we could ever be loved. so no one really bothers trying.

anyways, from what i can tell, alternate attachment happens when that kinda barrier between humans and alts gets broken (at least from the alt's perspective), and it typically happens when an alt is in close proximity to its assigned victim for a long period of time. that time varies from alt to alt too, like it deffo took a lot longer for atlas to get attached to cesar than it did for me to get attached to mark. nd i could be wrong abt this but i also noticed like. the more a victim interacts w their alternate, even if theyre doing it in a threatened or scared way, the more likely it is for the alt to get attached. "taking an interest" in a specific human is the most telltale sign of attachment, to the point that the phrase is pretty much "slang" for it among alts .

also just to clear this up: while alternate attachment can be romantic, it absolutely doesnt have to be. not at all. id describe my attachment to mark as like. familial honestly. and sometimes there arent even human words to describe an alts attacemt. its a spectrum yk? so dont think any of this is inheritly romantic or some shit cuz ill beat you up

as for what it does. well .

you dont know when u first meet a human that youre gonna get attached. i certainly didnt  . so u just kinda do ur thing n shit, but sometimes it doesnt work and the human lives so ur like. okay ill try again . or maybe youre just doing a long job and ur learning all of ur victims habits n shit. and thats where it kinda begins

the first thing you notice is that like. even though its ur job to kill your human its like. its fun to keep them alive . yk  . you grow to like the sound of em screaming in terror , or them freezing up when they see you . whcih. yeah that sounds kinda fucked to you guys but . just bear w me okay  .

anyways. eventually it gets to the point where, even if youve been given several opportunities to kill your human, you dont take them cuz its just that fun to mess w em. this is kinda where the "taking an interest" thing comes in  too . and then THAT goes into "ok wait . do i rlly have to kill them eventually  ?? i dont want to do that theyre funny :(((("

eventually you realize that like. shit . i dont want this human to die at all. like. at ALL. to the point you'd fight off other threats just to keep them safe. and you get this just- rush of an emotion youve never felt before whenever youre around them. aand you realize. thats love. you feel love towards them, no matter what kind of love that is. its. it feels so wrong at first and- and you hate it, but it just feels so right to the point where you cant imagine feeling any other way about them.

and as you may have guessed. you start to see the human as your own. its kinda hard to really describe but,, it makes sense if you experience it. you need to protect them and love them and hold them so so close or else they might get away from you. and you change yourself so that you can be worthy of being loved back. its. ough its a crazy ass feeling for sure

this, uh,, doesnt come without problems thouugh. for one just cuz an alternates attached to a human doesnt mean the human necessarily likes them back. in fact its honestly really lucky that both me and atlas got attached to humans that actually didnt hate us. (for a while at least.) theres a fuck ton of rumors that get spread around of those who got attached and excommunicated, only for the human they were attached to kill themself because they couldnt live with an alt constantly following them around and trying to talk to them.

...i cant describe how lucky i am that mark came back.

not to mention you hafta constantly live in fear all the damn time cuz you could get discovered n tortured at any moment. its. its really shit but damn it if your human doesnt make it all worth it. damn it if you wouldnt endure any kind of danger just to stick with them. damn it if you dont want to comfort them and feel murderous rage whenever theyre sad and.

damn it if they arent yours.

reason / meaning behind OCs name

i participated a thread on toyhouse earlier that question "explain the story behind your ocs name" aaand i want to write it more throughly here too.

Darlene

When i was writing her in early development. She was unnamed yet, she's a typical woman with the habit of using various pet names toward others. She says "oh dear," frequently and address her children or husband with "honey, sweetheart, darlings" etc.

I empty-headedly calls her Darlene—something that sounded similar to darling. It had became her name now ; v ; <3

George

okay so the name "George" randomly sticks in my brain when I saw his visual. I feel it resonated with him. So i just go with it without much thinking~ Then I remembered that name came from the classic movie Back to The Future, George Mcfly. I was like.. oh..! OHH..?!?! These two are similarly boyfailures who were fortunate enough to meet their true love after falling from a tree or fences! Haha. (ps. editing this gif outta the movie clip makes me nostalgic, i'm going to rewatch this movie sometime soon :D)

Allen and Frey

's names were randomly picked. No special meaning behind it, wasn't expecting i would be greatly attached to them.....i used to regret on how poorly they were named.. sadly I figured out it's too late to change their names LOL (Unless i extremely changing my mind in the future)

However i coped by giving middle + last names that i like for them and accepted it just fine now! Additionally they share similarly AL in their names...(which has become an advantage for their story ;) they noticed each other presences in class because their names are next to each other on the student list hehe)

Allen Gracelaine (fullname)

I found the word "Elaine" on google that means bright, sunray, shining light. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Allen Elaine funnily rhymes with each other, but its too short. So I mashed it with the word "Grace", its second alternative that i liked for Allen.

Bam! → Gracelaine. If you put together, Allen Gracelaine could be roughly translated as a rock that shine brightly with gracefulness.💛 I really love her name... Tho im not sure if she has a family name included. It might have some connection to her family background that yet to be revealed.

the jaiden siblings

As Frey was previously explained above, 'Mika' was also randomly popped out in my head, I think its cute! When I brainstormed for the jaiden siblings full names. I browsed through "christian baby names list" on google..... until i can find something that resonated with them LOL.

Michaella was fitting for Mika's fullname. I like how Rafael rhymed with Alfrey, as if they were reversed. Suitable for brothers who are twins.

By the way, I feel like if Alfrey wasn't named Alfrey, i'd call him "Nathaniel" ... i decided to put it as his middle name. The rest of his siblings' mid name are still wip tho X9

BONUS : Waffle the dog

I... dont quite remember why i named him Waffle exactly. Pretty much randomly thinking food names that matched him. But in the story, he does have a reasoning of the name. In his profile, it's written ;

Puppy Waffle used to sit watching mom cook every morning, making him smell like breakfast. For the most part, it'd be waffles. :)

============

i think thats all i could write for allen & co. casts for now. The rest of side characters' name are mostly randomly picked, not yet published for public even. Will update it once i have new characters with established design.

I've written the PABears as well, but I might.....just post it separately because ;) it turned out even longer and its better if i make a specific post.

footnoote : i rly need to find a title / name for allen's universe for easier tagging aeguhgegh for now i'll just write #hapimi for the general topic

[kodzukoi]

many things that i want to say:

firstly, some very dear moots of mine (y'all know who y'all are aknsjsnsn) KEEP SENDING ME THE SADDEST FRIGGIN TIKTOKS AND IM HERE FOR IT I LOVE YALL (also the funniest, i love y'all very much)

there were a bunch of moments that just made me so SOFT like idk but i'm a huge sucker for when the guy leans forward to rest his forehead on their s/o's shoulder, the vulnerability just jansjsnsnks i love it

also i think these would be translations since hyv is china based BUT THEIR TRANSLATORS (and ofc story writers) HAD SO MANY MOMENTS IN THIS EVENT

my opinion at least, the connotations were so <3 and it (the story) i think was really good

then again i'm not like the type to heavily analyze (because i am incapable of critical thought aksnjsnsn) so y'all who have done the first part might disagree which is perfectly valid

BUT ANYWAYS UM HE CANONICALLY USES MY LOVE AS A PET NAME I REPEAT HE CANONICALLY USES MY LOVE AS A PET NAME god i'm so glad the pining stage is over

casual pda my beloved <3

i think i passed away like a billion times throughout that event oh my god

thirdly, trying to build cyno and i hate looking for scarabs

fourthly, tried to build heizou because the tiktoks about him as a dps has influenced me but i HATE farming for those stupid onikabuto (thank god i don't have itto omg)

TO THINK THAT VIOLETGRASS WAS THE WORST GOD WKSJKWNDJWNSMSKSJ

also the pain i feel when i get a 5* artifact and the main stat ends up being friggin def%.

LIKE IM NOT BUILDING A SHIELD IM TRYING TO BUILD CYNO/HEIZOU PLEASE HYV JUST 5 DECENT ARTIFACTS T-T

fifthly (is that even a word lol autocorrect says it's not), i had a really embarrassing first impression on one of my professors and it makes me feel horrible so i'm telling myself to make this a learning moment so i don't make this mistake again but god i wanna cry (to make up for it i'm gonna work 10x harder - or at least the best i can do juggling the classes that i have now - and make a really dedicated effort to make his office hours because i think it was 20? i don't remember but you need a lot of good impressions to change the bad impression and i have like a couple weeks left- tbh i think i only have like 1 remaining week because he canceled next week's and then there's thanksgiving break and then dead week so actually maybe there's 2- I DONT KNOW BUT THE ONES I CAN MAKE I SWEAR I WILL MAKE

the reading i have to do is brutal though

to my now hs seniors who want to go to college, please ik ur school might tell you otherwise but max 1 technical (stem) and 1 writing based class per semester PLEASE

idc if y'all love reading now you will not when you get to college please take it from me

ummmm oh yeah also ik good study habits just don't develop overnight but please take this time while y'all have it to make really good habits bc y'all will need it, barely getting by in my classes and i'm STRUGGLING bc of it :,)

for reference, i was in the top 10 at my hs, had a 4.0 gpa unweighted, took like 12 ap exams, and a bunch of other things that probably make me look cool (or average, depending on the person that you are), and i got into my dream school (still extremely proud of myself for that so no i will not take any crap for that - also sorry but please don't ask which school, just know that it's really cool lol), but i am like oh my god wow

i don't want to say it's the "college depression" but y'all the struggle is SO real

so yeah

please at least try to take the first sem easy, i understand that for some majors, that's not possible but i hope it won't hurt to try

wow i like how i went from tiktoks to friggin college

OKAY BYE THAT IS ALL LOVE YALL VERY MUCH <3

Hi, I have a question re:sex and Christianity. Small background: I still go to church, and I still live with my parents even though I'm not much younger than you, because housing is very very expensive where I live (pretty common here, I would say about 2/3 of my friends live with their parents and we are decently privileged kids)

Anyway. How does one get over purity culture? To be clear, I've never been told in church not to have sex, I've never gotten the gendered lessons that you got. But I am terrified of having sex. My first real, multi-year relationship just ended and while there was hand stuff etc, there was never any p in v sex (lol I feel 12). But I still had insane anxiety about being pregnant despite being on bc. And I think its because I know my parents would be so disappointed if I had sex. And if I was pregnant I could imagine all the gossip. And honestly I think im from a pretty open church, b/c one of our previous ministers kids recently got married at 8 months pregnant and lots of church people were at the wedding and supportive and her parents were there and everything.

I dont even think I particularly like sex, i might be on the ace spectrum, but how do I remove it from all the anxiety that's tied to it so I can even give myself the chance to find out???

(Asking because it seems like you've been pretty open about purity culture/removing yourself from it)

CW for sex talk (again)

How does one get over purity culture?

Oh man. That really is the million-dollar question, huh? Obviously, I can only answer re my personal experiences, and this is something you should talk to a therapist about, but I can tell you how I’ve tackled it with my therapist at least.

Purity culture is, at its core, an ideology that is perpetuated by shame. If you’re indoctrinated into purity culture when you’re a kid, the concepts become baked into the way you construct your identity, your perception of self, and your perception of your sexuality. It’s practically intrinsic, by the time you’re an adult, to feel shame any time you’re reminded you have a body, much less a sexuality.

According to the chapels I sat through every week as a kid, a girl's body could be 3 things: an intentional stumbling block for men, an accidental stumbling block for men, or unnoticeable. Women were to strive for the third option so as to keep their (and their male friends/authority figures) purity intact. After all, if a boy, or even your male teacher, had impure thoughts about you, it was your fault for tempting them (which, holy shit. I still can’t believe that was a thing I bought into for so long. If my 45 yr old grown-ass teacher had impure thoughts because he could see my 12 yr old collarbone, that sure as hell wasn’t my fault. But I digress.) The Only time a woman’s body can be something else, is when she gives it to her husband, at which point she must suddenly flip the switch in her brain that she is now allowed to be a Sexual Being and she must perform Sexual Duties despite living in outright fear of her own body and sexuality for years (decades?) up until this point. Jesus take the wheel.

Purity culture isn’t a thing you can just decide to walk away from if you’ve grown up in it. Because its ideology is insidious and internalized. So first you need to submit to the fact that you’re going to be fucked up about sex. It sounds like you’re there. Second, you need to interrogate what you believe. If you’re leaving religion behind entirely, you’ll approach removing yourself from purity culture differently than if you still identify as a Christian. It sounds like you might be the latter, which meant, for me, separating what’s actually biblical and what’s shitty, contrived, doctrine that I was told is biblical but is actually more political than spiritual. This helps you address the shame issue.

You need to throw away I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Lady in Waiting and all those ridiculous books you read and reread in the hopes of somehow obtaining impossible marriage perfection and look into actual scripture interpreted within its historical context. I could write a book on this, but the TL;DR is that the text of the Bible was written, translated, curated, and changed multiple times over thousands of years by human beings with human biases and, often, personal and/or political agendas. It contradicts itself! Reading it as it is—a flawed historical document—rather than some sort of God-breathed perfect document—is incredibly freeing. When you do, you’ll probably realize that purity culture is bullshit on a spiritual level. Which is a good start, if that matters to you. Because any time you start to feel shame or guilt you can ask yourself: does God actually care if I wear a bikini or touch a dick I’m not married to? Probably not. Wear the bikini. Touch the dick.

The most important therapy session for me was when my therapist asked what I would do if I got to heaven and God was actually the God I’d been raised to fear. What would I do if he condemned me for being bisexual and having premarital sex and becoming educated, for arguing with men, and failing to isolate while menstruating, and wearing mixed fabrics? If Montero had come out at the point, I probably would have said I’d pole dance down to hell. Instead, I said I would spit on heaven’s gates. If a god that cruel and that pointlessly demeaning really exists—a god who would create in me condemned desire—I won't worship him. The good news is, I’m 99% sure he doesn’t exist. At the very least, he isn’t supported by scripture.

Okay. The final thing you need to do is figure out what you actually want, sexually speaking. This bit is probably the hardest. I’m still in the early stages of this myself. You say: “I dont even think I particularly like sex, i might be on the ace spectrum, but how do I remove it from all the anxiety that's tied to it so I can even give myself the chance to find out???” Bro, I wish I had an easy answer for you. For me, whenever I’m feeling anxious about Sex Things, I tell myself: 1. My God does not equate my worth to my sexual habits. 2. My partner does not equate my worth to my sexual habits. 3. I do not equate my worth to my sexual habits. It seems silly, but reminding myself of those three things is massively helpful. If, after I’ve sorted through those, I’m still anxious or uncomfortable, I stop doing the thing. I evaluate. Am I overwhelmed and I need to try again some other time? Do I just not like the thing? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Sometimes you change your mind. Sometimes you just don’t know. That’s why having a partner who you trust and who’s willing to patiently explore your interests (and respect your disinterests) is so important. Half the battle, for me, was having a partner who told me they’d be ok with no sex at all. Because that took the pressure off me. If the bare minimum they need is nothing, then anything more than that is a bonus! Hooray! This is maybe TMI, but let me tell you. I thought I was asexual* right up until I was able to have moderately non-anxious sex. Never in my life did I think I would initiate a sexual situation but… I do now. It’s a fun thing to do with a person I love and, holy shit. I am furious that I nearly missed out on it.

Finally, re birth control: I don’t know how you can approach that fear in a way that works for you. If you don’t want to ever have penetrative sex, that’s fine! If that’s a point of anxiety you can’t get rid of, then don't push yourself to do it. If you find out you like other sex things, do the other sex things! If you don't like doing any sex things, don't do any sex things! Also, have you considered sleeping with people who can’t get you pregnant? Always an option if it’s an option you want to consider. ;)

Okay. I hope this was even a little bit helpful. Sorry if it’s a little convoluted, I typed it up in bursts during my work breaks.

*This is not at all to say that asexuality can be “fixed." Rather, it’s to say that things like purity culture can drastically confuse your sexuality in general. If you’re asexual, then this process is still important to discover what you like/dislike. Then you can be explicit about those necesities and find a partner who’s a good fit (if you want a partner at all, that is).

thoughts on kuroo? you dont talk about him a lot

THOUGHTS I HAVE

i seriously need to make more kuroo works on my page

like i wish the bank teller thing couldda been longer/better but i got plenty of time to make other kuroo things

ANYWAYS

Because I'm falling back into the trap of simping for kuroo, have some thoughts that I half assed with the only line divider ive made

BEWARE BC I CURSE IN THIS, now, 🎆messy kuroo headcanons that i did in 10 minutes🎆

FEM READERS (SHE/HER, SHE/THEY), DO NOT INTERACT

⭄ Kuroo always has pens on hand. It's random, you've got no fuckin clue where he gets them, but they're there

⭄ We know hes a nerd, right? Yeah well if you ever go over to his house, the sheer amount of science/chemistry books laying around are almost scary. And he's read like all of them more than once.

⭄ It doesn't matter if you're taller than him or not, (I personally am not), he'll still mess with your head. Play with your hair, rest his hands on your head, lightly push you around by the back of your head, etc.

⭄ Because some people at school/university, (whatever time period you want), think he's a huge playboy, he'll sometimes try to fall into that role. Like flirt with you tirelessly. He's actually not even that bad at it, but he usually breaks character when he says such a stupid pick up line that he can't even handle it

⭄ Kuroo doesn't have any pets, but he's always really wanted a black cat. If you ever live together he'll pester you to get one

⭄ Kuroo is very big on pda. Like, very big. He'll kiss you every time he sees you for apparently no reason, usually saying corny things like "hey handsome" or "Whats a pretty guy like you doing here all by yourself?" If he's not borderline trying to make out with you, he's giving you side hugs or hiding his face in your shoulder or leaning against you, etc. Any form of pda to be given, he'll give it. If you're uncomfy though he'll back off.

⭄ He really likes stupid cheesy teen romance movies, but at the same time he'll rag on rom coms. (he also likes anime/horror, he's kind of a tv junkie). But you can bet he's picked up some habits from those movies. Like I'm talking throwing pebbles at your window, or showing up in the rain with flowers, stuff like that.

⭄ Any nickname he can think of for you, he will use. Like my guy will call you pretty boy, handsome, love of my life, and supreme overlord of my heart all in one breath. He really likes handsome though.

⭄ Insecure? It doesn't matter about what, maybe your weight or gender identity or face or skin, he don't care. He'll pick out every little thing he likes about you, and if you have any insecurities he'll talk those away too. Maybe it won't be forever, sure, but in the moment he'll distract you from whatevers bothering you. It don't matter what you look like, sound like, act like, or anything, you're worthy of love and happiness and anyone who says otherwise is a troll <3. (I fully endorse that message)

⭄ He definitely brags about you to kenma. And the whole team, but kenma gets it the worst lol

⭄ Because he likes pda a lot, that means private affection is like UP UP. If you're trying to study with him he'll shove his face in your hair or neck, and just kinda sit there. Kind of like a cat. He'll kiss you everywhere on your face and then some. Dude does NOT LAY OFF. (Unless you're uncomfortable ofc ofc).

⭄ Long story short id probably give my whole brother to be his boyfriend

⭄ Those are my thoughts on kuroo

anyways, i hope you like it! <3 (for non-filo readers, i'll put it the translation of some terms)

enhypen x filo!reader

-ˏˋ♥̩͙♥̩̩̥͙♥̩̥̩ ⑅ ⑅ ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ -ˏˋ♥̩͙♥̩̩̥͙♥̩̥̩ ⑅ ⑅ ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ

heeseung

ah yes, loves it when you call him the legendary nickname heeseung pogi (translation: heeseung handsome)

you probably just called him "heeseung" one time and he's going to be like "am i not heeseung pogi anymore?:("

pLS I JUST SEE IT HAPPENING LIKE THAT

would want to visit the philippines too to meet the rest of your family

if you do have a lot of relatives there then he'd be happy to meet them!

you probably teach him some slangs or words here and there

actually has good pronunciation so you rethink if he's actually korean or not lmao

pls he might as well call you "ang aking prinsesa" (translation: my princess) adfkjjkd

jay

right here, right now, probably might book you both a trip to the philippines

mans is rich what did you expect?

jk, but even though he could- he wouldn't because of work:(

but he probably asks you to teach him some tagalog words/phrases

also asks if you could tell him stories of what the philippines is like

the type to kiss you when you're pointing with your lips

"why did you kiss me?" "you were asking for it" "i was asking for the remote!"

goes "???" and you explain you were pointing at it with your lips lol

jake

right here, right now, probably might book you both a trip to the philippines pt. 2

mans rich as well so he might just do it

loves when you speak a little bit of tagalog to him

thinks it's really cool how you can speak two languages

idk but there are probably times you both joke around with his aussie accent and your filipino accent

like the others, he'll also ask if you could teach him some basic words

or sometimes he'll do it on his own and will try to surprise you with it

sunghoon

the type to kiss you as well when you point with your lips

or sometimes is confused when you do it

"why are you pouting like that if you just wanted a cookie?" "i wasn't? i was pointing it with my lips hoon" "i- ???"

loves listening to you childhood stories (like how you grew up)

probably does a filipino accent too

also likes being called pogi

likes calling you mahal (translation: love)

sunoo

picked up the habit you have for pointing with your lips

does it often now

also calls you mahal !!

like idk, i just get the feeling he would

randomly goes like "mahal~"

and at times you get flustered by him calling you that

he also wants to visit where you live to meet your other relatives, because he thinks it's really cool that you have plenty of them!

you don't hesitate to teach him some phrases too because he's cute when he tries to pronounce them

jungwon

tries to learn some phrases and then text them to you when he's away or when you're away

FJKDJKHDJ PLS I JUST FEEL LIKE HE'LL ACTUALLY DO THAT

just the simple texts like 'kumain ka na ba?' (have you eaten yet?) / 'matulog kang maaga ha' (sleep early, okay?)

and you'll find it really cute that he does these things

sometimes he'll also ask about your culture to learn more

tries to speak tagalog with you

sometimes you'll correct him in some pronunciations but you're surprised he picks up tagalog well (my mans smart)

ni-ki

says 'i love you' in tagalog

LIKE PLSSJHJS

also asks you to teach him some tagalog words to tease his hyung's with

curse words, go! JKJK DONT TEACH THIS CHILD SWEAR WORDS

says some phrases too sometimes

also wants to visit the philippines and try their food

he wants to travel with you :(

"hey, y/n, i need to tell you something?" "what is it?" "mahal kita (i love you)"

ok, they're collecting evidence from his hotel room. from what i see, it seems real won the elections by default, what with the dead opponent. it was pretty obvious that they didnt want him as a mayor. if he hadnt died would he have done voter fraud to keep his post?

martinez vaguely trying to stop batman more out of habit than anything else lol.

so he's a forensic accountant, who saw the fund malversion and as an abused orphan who grew up in squalor, he promply went apoplectic with rage. he has a cage full of rats plus a single bat. he left another card to bats saying only "my confession". considering this, i think he's in love with batman! i already knew that, but thanks for confirming it in the text 🤣

if you're gonna queercode your villains, make them Actually queer, it will make them better :)

"500 followers. real fringe types" i dont really have context for this, because i dont use twitter, but that seems like so many? i have like, barely 200 followers here.

"i know the real you" wow. was his attempt at bruce wayne just a test? is he just riddled (ha) with parasocial brainworms? who can say :)

aaaww, edward wants to see the batman :) im sure this will go well for him :) his emotional wellbeing wont be worsened by this encounter :) he's just gonna talk with his forever idol for the first time. it's gonna be fiiiine

"you're a good cop" no such thing, but whatever whatever. if i couldnt shake off my distaste for copaganda id be incapable of watching anything lmao

riddler: MEETING MY CRUSH IRL <3

edwards Face, oh my god. he's so in love, it makes him very pretty 🤣 "i told you i'd see you in hell" oh, so this bitch just did a season 3 hannibal. he got himself caught on purpose so batman could come visit him! that's cute.. and very forward. harlot behaviour

"if only you knew how long i've been wating for this day" oh, you got it Bad <3 "they'll remember me now. they'll remember both of us"

with how weirdly he elongates bruce's name, i suspect it's a favorite for when echolalia strikes him. also, he's Looking at him very intently, like he's testing his reaction. bruce stopped making eye contact, his face twitched with nerves, he swallowed, he's subtly trying to keep his breath from speeding up, he looked at the camera filming everything. riddler definitely noticed

he goes from a rant against the rich boy orphan, seemingly directed at batman for some reason (could he..?) and then neatly goes for commiserating With batman, about not being able to kill bruce. about BOTH OF THEM not being able to get bruce.

"god. look at you" i Understand you. i too become fascinated by battinson's everything at random times. "your mask is amazing. i wish you could have seen me in mine" translation: i wish you could have seen me kill and got horny about it. the movie's making this too easy 🤣

"we've been doing this together. you're part of this" oh honey.. you got a big storm coming 😔 "i couldnt have done this without you. you inspired me"

oooooh, here it comes 😬 "you're out of your mind. this is all in your head. you're a pathetic psycho begging for attention. you're gonna die in this mental institution. alone" projecting your own fears much bruce? recognition of the self through the other (derogatory) and all that

aaaand he is headed towards meltdown. god i hate when this happens during a charged conversation or a fight. all i want is for the words to just Stop so i start screaming to drown everything else out. sucks ass

"it was all there. you mean you didnt figure it out? ooooooh, you're really not as smart as i thought you were" you are just realizing this?? his crush erased a multitude of sins, including brucie's dumbassery ig
