​THANK YOUUU and i will let you know if it does anything 🫡 i have used it twice and so far results are inconclusive, gotta use it a little more before i pass judgement lol

Niaaaa //wailing, heaving, rolling around on the floor

I cannot stress enough how much I adore your works and love rereading all of them from time to time

Am here to ask if you have any more touchstarved hcs,, or thoughts,, im dying over here

Literally starved for content

gn!reader | REG!!! //waving both hands, jumping up and down giggling. Thank U. this is an honour and incredible compliment. scary bc my old works are...old... but Thank u. U mean the world 2 Me. i didn't thoroughly check what hcs i've already said so sorry there's repeats orz

i'm not saying the LIs would all go to the barbie movie but if someone does make art of that please let me know and tag me especially if it has the i am kenough shirt

they ruined my life saying kuras doesn't eat how is he going to join my girl dinners now. /j but i'll continue to believe he can appreciate how good a meal looks! & he can still sit with you and try to get his hands on your favourite meals for you to enjoy :-)

that thing where they do push-ups and kiss you when they come down with...leander was the first one i thought of tbh. but if you aren't able to lie underneath him he'd just ask for the same amount once he's done!

leander doing the thing he did in the prologue where he took his glove off with his teeth every so often just to see your reaction. like if you react in an amusing flustered staring at him kind of way. i couldn't relate personally (lying) (liar) (huge lie)

i'm sorry for my leander bias but if one of his favourite things is MASQUERADES and we don't see him at a MASQUERADE well it's so joever like him in a suit and mask and showing off how he knows how to fit in because of his past and also he can waltz now or something I'm dizzy i can't breathe

ais using 0.5 camera on people while they're caught off guard. him asking you to take a video of the fight For him because he's going to be part of it. vere selfie folder. mhin 5 followers no icon no posts gc lurker.

mhin would stick to enough of a routine that they'd have a specific spot to sit at different places,,, like a cafe or the library or bus... corner. it's one of the corners. and when someone's taken the spot they're thrown off then have to walk around for a new one (not happy about this) but take it back once they leave. you spend enough time together and they start keeping the spot next to them open for you

^ also they'd always order the exact same thing at restaurants. wouldn't like going to a new place because now they have to find a new default order. just like me fr

is no one going to talk about the idea that vere doesn't like snow because he's chained outside and it's cold . to be fair it could Totally be for a less sad reason like how it gets his Fur Wet (valid) but i've been thinking about that possible angst

also his gloves are just. like. ? odd. inverse drawing gloves. claws... but why only the 3 fingers.... btw his outfit means a constant thigh holding opportunity

kuras and mhin having long conversations about alchemy and sharing their findings with each other ;; mhin at some point getting just a Little excited about something and kuras choosing not to comment on it but being happy to see them let their walls down a little ;; o(-(

ais coming into your room and wordlessly lying next to you in bed and when asked if he needs something he says no? with a smile. he was just feeling lonely and wanted to find you

saying "you look like you can't swim" or "you are an odd individual" to any and all of them . something about it is amusing to me

if you celebrate christmas or like the idea of kissing underneath some mistletoe,, i think it's a good thought that you hold one over your head and wait for a kiss Or that Some of the LIs would Definitely do that themselves.

who do you guys think has the saddest birthday celebration (/no celebration at all.) who's relating to girls who spend their birthday alone and crying and be honest with me

rambling but i just want to say kuras's monster form looks sick as FUCK and i'm so excited for it. it looks like whatever left the scar on his hand seems to be there.. in his monster form...? i thought it was a claw but the positioning is under/through the hand so like??. do i have to bring up the significance of that if true

also is his outfit (minus his jacket)...like a jumpsuit... or can i just not tell because of his three (?) belts. that's not how you wear belts btw /lh. and is the sheer part Part of the top or is he wearing something sheer underneath the white. his sleeves are also sheer but the neckline means his shoulders are out . take off ur jacket

also mhin !! i want to know how big they get and if the transformation is sickening to watch and if they're still aware of everything around them and !!! THERE IS A SPINE(?) COMING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SILHOUETTE THAT I NEED TO SEE NOW! & i'm assuming the senobium is Shit so even if we do get in there and get 'help' there would be another shitty price to pay. possible bad ending...??

scenes with all their monster forms where you're asked if you're scared and you say no / yes but you care about them and they falter because they didn't expect that

true good ending is everyone meeting at the wet wick and making a toast and laughing and saying this truly was our touchstarved before the credits roll

i think this daily compliment will be long :)

i want to start with the title, bc as a non-native i just learned what a “salubrious” is. thanks for enriching my vocabulary i guess.

so i highlighted a few phrases that i particularly liked:

“Contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t like crying” yeah... cause will isn’t crybaby, just something doesn’t allow him to live in peace and without tears.

“voice the bare skeleton of what it should be” ur analogies 🥺

“and the reminder of what he’s lost makes him cry just a little harder” oh will :( this boy already awakens my maternal instinct and it breaks my heart that he has a broken heart.

“He’s a mistake when he’s awake, a murderer in his sleep, and a monster in both” i was starting into the void for a couple of minutes when i first read this.

“The air is cool and tasteless” you so accurately conveyed the state after a panic attack, when you calmed down and begin to notice such small things like air temperature.

“Mike holds him like he isn’t revolted, isn’t disgusted by the mess that Will is” and he isn’t!! every time will thinks badly of himself a piece of my soul dies.

“Mike feels all-encompassing, bigger than life, with long limbs and a bold personality” once again: i love the way you write! for some reason i felt so happy and satisfied after i read this sentence.

“you know you’re my best friend” im too soft for a reminder that they are best friends above all. like i know everything about you and still love you.

““I care about you,” Mike repeats, like he’s trying to say something else” the way you don't make Mike say "I love you". he’s a teenager, and scared, and in love with his best friend. of course he’ll choose another word.

“Mike’s staring problem seems to be heightened, now, when he shamelessly looks at Will” as he should! will is too pretty to not look at him.

“and Will feels vulnerable and exposed, but he’s also tired, and – it’s Mike” you emphasize one more time that they’re best friends and know each other better than anyone else. and that's why i love them so much.

“He fists the hand on Mike’s chest, and tugs him closer by the shirt, and Mike meets him halfway” i love that even though will is scared he still does something, still pulls mike closer.

“Will doesn’t deserve this kind of care. Mike keeps kissing him like he does” he does :( my poor little insecure boy.

“Mike is warm all over” nothing special im just a firm believer that despite the fact that mike is made of bones and skin he always has warm hands.

i also liked how mike left kisses on will's face. it's always so tender and sensual and vulnerable.

one again ily, i love you, I LOVE YOU. idk how many times i could repeat it bc i genuinely love u and how u create this fluttery worm things in my stomach ♥️

(im so sorry for such a long comment)

phhggmy god . jesuss christ im having heart palpitations i need u Permanently expelled from the face of the earth i am using u as a garnish i am feeding u fish food ohh my god . I Love U

if it helps i Also just learned what salubrious means ! i am always trying to expand my vocab :D

EXACTLYLY u get me so well . will doesn't Like crying but his life is literally a shakespearian tragedy it ISNT HIS FAULTTT

my analogies . what if we smooched

anytime will byers comes onto the screen i feel like a mother Joyce Byers I Understand You

HEELKGP so sorry for sending u into some sort of crisis 😭

:D im so glad u think so !!! i try rly hard on those kinds of aspects, i did it in "asunder" as well with him trying to calm himself down !!!! imssoo happy u thought so !!!!

will byers Therapy arc when

!!!!! thank u so much what if i figuratively literally die

YEYEYS they were friends first !!! they have that stable foundation !!!!! it will always come first !!!!!! that's why they work so well !!!!!!!!!

SSOOO TRUE will byers i need to paint him immediately

[aro-culture-is]

this isn't a fun and quirky post, it's a question / advice seeking, sorry everyone u_u

so, i never really cared much about being in a relationship, even when all of my friends were obsessed with the idea, i just didn't get it. i had a crush on one of my good friends, but i never wanted there to be an end goal of getting together with her, and those feelings went away after she ended up moving (tho i mean. obviously i was upset bc she was my friend and i missed her), i was content with just being in her company.

fast forward to now, i'm in my second year of college, i've been in a long term relationship (4 years), and right in the middle of it, i'm realizing that i'm most likely aro, or at the very least greyro. i don't HATE romance, it annoys me most of the time, but i definitely experience feelings that could be described as love, towards my favorite things / friends / family; i'm not averse to using the term love when i love something. BUT. not experiencing romantic attraction and "LOVE love" the way others do makes.......a loooooot of sense for myself. i hadn't considered myself aro until a few months ago because i thought it wouldn't be,, "valid?" bc i've been in this relationship for so long, and i really do care about my partner.

i've looked into other terms for myself - i don't relate to demiromantic at all, bc no matter how close i've ended up getting to ppl, i've never experienced anything beyond just close friendship, nor do i jive with cupioromantic, bc if i wasn't in the relationship i'm in now, i wouldn't have any desire to seek one out.

with my partner, i've (half) joked abt how if we weren't together i would probably just be aro, and they said something along the lines of "something about that doesn't surprise me" (IN A GOOD WAY THOUGH not a condescending way), and we've talked a bit about the reality that i am , most definitely somewhere on this spectrum, but i want to talk to them about it seriously. i feel like it would explain a lot about how a lot of the time, i feel like i'm STILL trying to figure out and maneuver being in a relationship. i'm lucky to have a very patient and understanding partner, and i know that if i sat down with them and told them everything, they'd definitely work through it with me.

so AAAAAAAAAALL of that out of the way, my question issss ,, what are the.. logistics of subscribing to a label? some days i'm like "yeah greyro seems pretty accurate," but others i think "mm ,, even greyro seems a bit generous, and i feel like i'm just fully aro." though, i feel like i CAN'T be fully aro if i have a long term partner that i care abt. (i don't know if that's a stereotype, i apologize if it is, this is all still a bit new for me.) i already feel very out of place looking through the aro community and seeing so many people refusing to even use the word love for their pets or favorite tv shows n what have you (full respect to those people, i feel like they probably wouldn't feel the same about me tho :sob: ). i don't know if aro can be used as somewhat of an umbrella term? just hoping to get some advice .. this is the first time i'm even talking about it with someone who isn't my partner. i appreciate the time ur gonna need to take to read and respond to this monster ask LMAO so thank u in advance !!!!!

hi, sorry this has taken forever to get around to!

honestly, labels are really up to the person. there's a number of metaphors about it, but ultimately, labels are meant to help you express how you feel, not to limit you to their exact definition or a stereotype. (and, it is a stereotype that aro people can't date - aromanticism is defined intentionally to allow that you may be able to feel romantic attraction, but feel it rarely or conditionally. it would be quite strange to include that and not allow romantic relationships!)

if it helps to consider, a lot of people I've heard of in similar situations to you appreciate hearing about alterous attraction, or queerplatonic attraction. depending on the definition and era of when it was talked about, sometimes they're distinguished and sometimes they aren't. you may be experiencing your relationship like a queerplatonic relationship!

I'm sorry I can't help more, but I hope this gives some food for thought. I strongly recommend that folks with questions like these take a stroll through my tag "am i aro" and see if anything fits or helps!
