#they ask you for advice because youre trusted in the fashion community

[izanori]

idk who needs to hear this, but if it hasnt already been done i want to clear up some things

Fashion Dreamer is not Style Savvy. BUT. It’s created by Syn Sophia, just like Style Savvy was. So, if you’re still holding out for a title that’s specifically called Style Savvy it’s time to give up, because it’s very safe to assume that Fashion Dreamer is meant to be Style Savvy’s spiritual successor. This may be due to influencers and other internet personalities being way more popular than wanting to run a store among children these days.

so… yea. ^_^

You feel the power when you are exposed to emotions. Especially the ones that are coming from other individuals. You feel respected when people are coming to you for advice in fields that need nurture such as emotional advice. You love to take care of things because it gives you the feel of power.

✩Leo/5th house/Leo degrees(5, 17, 29)

You feel powerful when people find you entertaining. When you are preforming, influencing and leading, then you feel respected as well. You feel the power when you are being seen in many ways. You just love for the spotlight to be on you and it gives you fulfillment. You need to be watched and looked at in order for you to feel the fulfilled.

Also you feel powerful when people ask you to talk about your opinion on any topic.

✩Scorpio/8th house/Scorpio degrees(8, 20)

TW! Slight mentions of sxual acts

You feel powerful when people accept your transformations and growth & will not be stuck on that older version of you that you do not have the best opinions on. They feel power when people praise them with how far into the extremes they’ve gone with stuff. They feel respected and powerful when they are surrounded by sxual acts or energy or even if people take them as a sx symbol.

✩Sagittarius/9th house/Sagittarius degrees(9, 21)

They fee powerful when they can take on a challenge and even more when they succeed in it wether it’s mental, physical or any other way. The more challenging it is the more power they’re gonna feel when it’s completed. Especially if it’s done alone, independently. They feel respected when they get to learn from travel by the people that are teaching them such in a way that they are blessed enough to be share with such knowledge. They also can feel respected in the marketing field.

✩Capricorn/10th house/Capricorn degrees(10, 22)

They feel powerful and respected in their workplace. Their mindset is set to that the more work you do and the more time you spend at work, the more respect you gain through time. They feel the power and fulfillment when they are being put into the leader role, especially in the fields that they know a lot about. Which is the opposite to Koning in Aries. You feel respected at very grounded areas such as with the politicians and some of the societal characters as their type of view on the world, but that isn’t determined only from this placement.

✩Aquarius/11th house/Aquarius degrees(11, 23)

You feel powerful when in the programming and creative fields. You feel fulfillment and respect when people find you unique. You like to be an author of things. You also feel the power when being praised at stuff that others might find hard or difficult, but you have succeeded in. You also can feel respected and powerful in the mathematical fields since it adds up to the harder topics that not everyone can master perfectly because of the rules.

✩Pisces/12th house/Pisces degrees(12, 24)

You feel powerful and respected in the spiritual fields. You are pretty close with the universe if you already have begun with the connection with it. You feel respected and powerful when people perceive you when people take you as someone who’s a spiritual being or a ‘godness’. Also depending on other placements, quite like Taurus, you can feel fulfillment and respect in the nature fields. The feeling of power also comes when you are or feel out of reach from others.

PHEW.

Let me know what your Koning is in! Mine is in Leo, 6th house and 13 degrees.

That’s crazy how we have 2 posts in 2 days.

I truly hope that you enjoyed this post and learned something new about yourself or got a clearer grip on it.

Happy October everyone!

See you next time!!

Hi baby ❤️ your words are making me incredibly happy, you have no idea! And you're absolutely right, there is barely anything out there written for him so let's change that shall we? 😍

Characters : Best jeanist/ Gender neutral reader

Genre : Fluff/ Suggestive themes/ Headcanons

Masterlist|Second Masterlist

SFW :

Meeting the pro hero for the very first time, you were instantly captivated by his flamboyant personality and alluring appearance, however, his eccentricity was a bit too much for you to handle, which was why you kept a little distance between you two, and settled for admiring him from afar.

That was until you learned more about him, and understood that underneath that charming surface, lays a selfless and brave man, one who strives to spread peace and serenity among civilians, even at the expense of his own safety -like a real hero should do-.

When you finally gathered up the courage to confess your newly discovered feelings for him, you were met with a concealed smile from underneath his ridiculously high collar, he was pleasantly surprised to learn about your sentiments and fervently confessed his own.

Being with him is a literal adventure, he is mesmerizing and does everything passionately which is exciting. He is straightforward, and you love that about him.

He has always been proud of you, cheering you on and motivating you to follow your dreams no matter how tough things get.

He talks about you all the time, he just manages to find a way to slip your name into any conversation he's having, no matter if serious or casual said conversation is, he's just smitten and never gets bashful to show it.

You love shopping dates with him, he just has the best taste in clothes and you end up with amazing pieces of garments each and every time.

In addition, he makes you try them out for him once you're home, like a little fashion show just for his eyes. He enjoys your excitement and the little twirls you do in order for him to have a good look at the way they fit you, and he finds himself unable to keep his hands and lips away from you, turning your fitting session into a make out one, -or something even spicier-.

You are his confidant(e) and he trusts you with his life, keeping nothing hidden from you, and seeking your advice when things get tough.

NSFW :

He's so vocal during your intimate times, and body worship is his thing! He enjoys praising you while his lips and fingers cover every inch of your skin. He usually uses fabric related descriptions to address you during those moments, such as: soft, elegant, firm, silky, shiny, velvety, luxurious.

He has an extremely sensitive neck, something you always use to your advantage, because just a simple touch of your fingertips to his skin can bring the most delicious groans out of his mouth. And you usually don't stop at that, adding your lips and teeth to the mix and relishing the goosebumps appearing under your touch.

He goes nuts when you put on a sexy lingerie set for him, not only because of how alluring and enticing you would look, but also because of the way his fingers glide along the delicate fabric before reaching your flesh.

He is passionate and extremely gentle with you, he never does anything hurriedly and always asks how you're feeling before taking the next step. You communicate well and tell each other instantly if one of you wishes to take things slower, or do them harder and faster.

His mouth can do wanders, wether he's kissing your lips, nibbling on your earlobe, sucking on your neck or teats, plunging his tongue into the wetness between your legs, you are always writhing and shuddering and begging for more. And it's vice versa, because you -too- get to witness his aroused expression and needy pleas everytime the roles are reversed.

hi there! hope ure doing good today 💛

so this is like a fun game i send my favourite kpop tarot readers 😊

out of the groups u stan (preferably someone who u've done a "X as a boyfriend" reading for), who would u give a chance if ever they ask you out and why?

answer lightheartedly 💋

thank you and i loveeee ur blogs so much 🥰

I haven't done many of those readings tho!! I am too picky, so I'll do those I would set up with friends

I went a lot by how much I personally feel that these people are trustworthy based on my readings, there's no one else I remember that stood out like that to me. and I didn't choose only kpop because I actually don't know that many idols (adhd

in no particular order

lewis hamilton (formula 1)

if you like complete devotion and obsession, the type to have a secret crush on you for years and watch you from afar while secretely planning to sneak into your life. best friends to lovers vibes. he seems very soft when comfortable, and just wants to cuddle with his person watching movies and playing with his dog. message you everyday, tell you all the details he finds beautiful and still gives you advices or fashion tips that genuinely help and aren't just blatant criticism. seems very soft spoken with pink colored glasses. for those that want to be pampered and have princess treatment, that's your man.

park seonghwa (ateez)

honestly, all of ateez depending on what's your type

again, obsession. this guy would respect the shit out of your freedom and choices, he's the type to love no matter what, as long as you come home to him he's so so happy. seonghwa would love to be friends with your friends, part of your family, intertwined in every piece of your life, but the second you say "I need my space", he's out of your sight for as long as you need. seonghwa is a major extrovert, so he's the type of boyfriend to host friend dinners, house parties and take many many many quirky pictures. this is a more fun and dynamic guy in comparison to lewis, but they are both intensely devoted and decided tho. seonghwa would buy the ring on the first date.

wonyoung (ive)

she'd teach you self love by showing how much she loves you, accepts you unconditionally and trusts you blindly. incredibly sweet and caring person, she's so the type to give random little love messages throughout the week/day and spend hours making handmade gifts for her person. the type to give you one of her clothes and a sample of her perfume to feel like she's always around. I think she'd also transform when you're alone, be way more fun, childish and weird, probably dirty in a funny way that'd make you two feel close. she'd treat her person with so much delicacy and pure love, that even the toughest man wouldn't dare to not melt and accept that they're just a little flower in her well taken care garden.

taylor swift

is in love with love, in love with life, nothing can make her genuinely heartbroken, the type of love she has is so intense, it will be passed through lifetimes. she has such an extended knowledge of different types of people, relationships, arts, patterns of behavior, communications, etc. there is not a single person in this world she wouldn't be able to give genuine love to. but she's also extremely picky with those she actually opens up to, she makes everyone think they know her but only you would and it'd be your little secret. secrecy is something taylor (secretely) loves, her life is very very public so we feel like we know everything about her and her relationships, but there is so much deep inside her head that only someone really really reaaaaaaaaaaaally worthy would know! she is in love with connecting, and once she finds a genuinely good man, she will always always protect and take care of you, and make you feel like you're living in a dream or a movie scene. (connecting with her to write this was so much fun! she is so nice and was giving high-fives when she liked something kkkkkk

The moment the Hargreeves know they love you HCs

‘Part one’ (The moment you know you love the Hargreeves)

TW: Mentions of death in Klaus’

Masterlist

Luther Hargreeves

-Luther realizes he loves you fairly early on, as is easy to do when you’re as  affection starved as he is

-He’s fairly whipped over you right away but leaned more towards puppy-love in the early days

-Something of note is that he still carries a lot of insecurity, over a lot of things, but especially his mutation so he’s equally scared of repulsing you as he is smitten by you

-So he damn near has a panic attack when you accidentally see him shirtless, something he had tried so hard to avoid with all kinds of excuses and distractions 

-However he wildly overestimated your judgement, rather than treating him like the monster he feels like, your biggest concern is making sure he’s okay, taking care to assure him that it doesn’t change anything on your end, and it is impossible for Luther to not fall in love with you as you make him feel more accepted than he has in years

Diego Hargreeves

-Diego has some issues with trust and vulnerability so while internally he’s growing quite attached to you, he struggles to acknowledge it

-Though overtime it becomes increasingly hard to ignore the intimacy in your relationship, you’ve even trusted him with a lot of your own feelings or secrets

-You always patch him up when he gets injured and he starts to crave your same healing presence for his emotional wounds, often finding he wants to talk to you whenever something goes wrong

-After an especially rough argument with his siblings he seeks you out because you’re a safe space for him and is unusually receptive to your comfort and actually tells you what happened when you ask, granted attempting a casual tone

-And like you’ve tried to do multiple times, you’re able to make him feel better by him just letting you in, your understanding though optimistic by his standards advice, your emphatic assurance of his capability, your eagerness to help all warm his heart to no end and he finds it in himself to tell you he loves you

Allison Hargreeves

-Allison really likes you, but she’s kind of guarded, she carries a lot of shame and regret that leaves her navigating your relationship cautiously 

-You likely won’t notice at first as she tends to keep these kinds of things to herself, but not being as open with you as she wants to has caused her a lot of angst 

-Overtime your intuition begins to overpower her secrecy though and even if you keep quiet she’s perceptive enough to know you’re catching on, leaving the pair of you in an awkward position where you both know more than you’re saying, at least until she talks herself into being honest

-She with great stress sits you down, worrying you with comments like “You might not ever be able to look at me the same way again after this” before heart-achingly explaining the lowest moments of her life, rumoring Viktor, rumoring Claire and even rumoring someone to love her

-You’re not okay with what she’s done and you don’t pretend you are but you still take her in your arms and assure her your feelings for her haven’t changed and it’s the kindness and trust you’re still willing to offer her that makes her realize she loves you

Klaus Hargreeves

-Klaus realizes he loves you not long after you lose a loved one actually

-Once the natural instinct to think solely of you starts to ease up a little he braces himself, ready for a tough conversation he thinks is inevitable... yet it never comes

-He was sure it was only a matter of time until you asked him to conjure the person you lost, that you couldn’t possibly date a man who could commune with the dead and not pull that card at a time like this

-So he ends up asking you why you haven’t asked, because honestly as much as he didn’t want to he was ready to do it

-And when you tell him you’re willing to deal with grief the old-fashioned way because you’re not going to use him and put him through an experience he hates, your selfless consideration for his feelings makes him realize he’s in love with you

Viktor Hargreeves

-Viktor falls in love with you quite easily but that doesn’t make it any less meaningful

-You immediately catch his attention with your kindness and it’s a big factor in you two soon getting together however part of him still struggles to trust it at first

-You do however make a good case for yourself, consistently making an effort to make him feel special yet encouraging him to find other sources of validation too so he’s not dependent on you

-This pursuit is what inspires you to reach out to his siblings to invite them to his upcoming violin concert to... little success, ultimately Allison is the only person you’re able to persuade but seeing Viktor’s smile when he realizes she’s there makes you feel very accomplished 

-After the performance the three of you hang out for a bit and when you excuse yourself for a moment the conversation quickly turns to you with Allison remarking you’re a good one and telling Viktor how proud you were of him and how annoyed you were at the others for not coming, confirming Viktor’s long-held suspicion that he’s completely in love with you

Matchup exhange for @kamesama

Your jujutsu kaisen match is...Nanami Kento!

Toji was a runner up but he lacks the stability that Nanami gives.

First of all, he is exactly what you’re looking for. He’s firm yet caring and isn’t offended easily. I did say in private that I thought of him the moment I started reading your match and I mean it. The dynamic between two professional people who still know how to have fun outside of work is what lead me to this choice.

Nanami is known to not associate his work life with his personal one. This is why I believe you two met at a coffee shop. It was a rainy day, you both decided to take shelter in this coffee shop. Unfortunately it was packed so you two strangers had to share the same table. At first, Nanami said he’d stand up elsewhere to not make you uncomfortable in true gentleman fashion. You insisted and he finally sat down. Enjoying a warm cup of coffee and reading is a nice activity. It is uncertain who commented on the other book first but a nice conversation sparkled, distracting you from the weather. From now on, you two had one meeting minimum per week at that coffee shop. It’s nice to unwind after a long day surrounded by morons. The friendship was nice but it was after you somehow got tangled up in his world did he realize his fear of losing you. The nail on the coffin was when Gojo intruded on the meeting and was just being his usual self. The action was effective because Nanami asked you out a week later.

A relationship with Nanami is rather domestic. He starts by laying on the table that he’s a sorcerer and all related stuff and asks you if you’re sure about staying with him. He knows his end will mostly be tragic and wants to warn you. He is direct, he knows what he wants and doesn’t want to waste anyone time. The strongest base in your relationship is definitely communication. You two will step up the rules and boundaries rather early to ensure a peaceful and healthy relationship. His deal breakers are the same as yours. As long as you respect him he has no issue.

Due to your religion, I believe Nanami won’t initiate physical contact beyond the basic gestures like offering you his arm when walking. He doesn’t know your limits. He will do his researches obviously. He is actually happy when you initiate PDA and will ask you about what you accept and won’t accept. He actually gifts you hijabs that he thinks look nice or have a nice texture.

Not gonna lie, your character is rather similar to Nanami this is why you two understand each other rather well. Just like you, he has a specific routine and hates it when it gets ruined. Your routine together consists of meeting at least once per day after work hours. It could be for dinner, a coffee or if you want at one of your houses. He likes surprising you with homemade dinner and daily new pastry he finds. His love language is mostly acts of services and quality time, this is why he pays attention to all the little details and try to make your life easier. Details like your usual orders, favorite brands and your comfort foods during bad days. Nanami enjoys that you mostly do the same, this earns you a soft smile that none would think he can pull off. Now this is a personal headcanon but I believe Nanami enjoys nature in general. He likes going with you on walks or booking for foreign resorts for both of you in the week-ends/his vacations.

Both of you are perfectionists, it’s easy to get lost in the self criticism. Nanami would actually give you advices to improve the work if he sees them but when he feels you going too far he will tell you. More like he will coerce you with good tea or a new book he picked. All of this is to distract you. He is calmer and has more patience that’s why he’s here to bring you down to earth when you get too fidgety. I believe him to be emotionally intelligent, he knows when you start to isolate and would gently ask you about your problems. Trust is something that takes time, he understands and is willing to wait. You’re the only person who he won’t judge or get impatient with. Unless you start making bad puns, that’s the bane of his existence (jokingly). Or you get too reckless, that’s the only time he will be angry at you. Besides that, to be honest I don’t see any possible issue with your relationship.

Nanami also dates to marry. It will take a maximum of 5 years but he will ask you to marry him after booking a vacation at your dream resort. He will let you lead all the decoration and will only give his imput when you ask for it. He just wants to choose the food lol. But he makes sure everything is in order. It might be intrusive but I see the wedding to be a beige/brown colored wedding, I’ll try to look up for pictures online. After the wedding the honeymoon is in Malysia.

When you two moved in together, the only thing that changed is the amount of romantic moments. You two share all household chores and actually have a planner for it. He’s actually invest in those fancy coffee machines and there is a room in the apartment dedicated for both your hobbies. Like drawing, photography and reading. He also brings you flowers weekly, or more if he comes late and each flower has its special meaning. He also likes having baths with you where you two share your day over some tea. He likes hugging you from behind in the morning and smelling your hair. On slow days, you two can be found baking. Your house is quite aesthetically pleasing because none of you are messy. You are seen as those perfect calm couples that share their love in private.

Your tears of themis match is...Artem!

It was very tight between Artem and Marius to be honest. But I choose Artem cuz Marius is more chaotic and less to stick to a routine. From afar, Artem is similar to Nanami but he’s more sensible and emotionally aloof sometimes….

You two are neighbors who got introduced to each other by a grandma. He likes helping the elderly and children just like you. You two probably helped the grandma who decided to play matchmaker. She found you two to be cute together! This is how she somehow tricked both of you into spending more time together. At first it was purely out of convenience since you’re both neighbors and Artem didn’t know what to think of your personality. Then it went from talking about normal neighbor stuff to lending movies/books. I am not going to lie, Artem fell without knowing it (this is a slow burn. Like a year or more). It was his friends at work (ahem, Rosa and heck even Vyn) who pointed out how much he spoke about you. He didn’t want to make this awkward and wanted to know if you felt that way first before asking (he was ready to move out if he made you uncomfortable). Then you surprisingly asked him out to a restaurant he spoke about and he asked you out first.

Artem was happy when you laid out your boundaries because he didn’t know how to bring it to the table. As we saw in the game he’d rather read books about romance and try to follow their exemples…which can lead to funny situations like him randomly using bad pick up jokes. You laughed at him for it and even tease him sometimes. Artem is a serious and blunt guy but is very inexperienced in love. In true lawyer fashion he follows everything by the book which can make the relation seems boring in the long run. You’ll have to reassure him to step out and be himself more as it won’t make you angry or anything.

His love language is acts of service and gift giving. But it is very subtle. He is observant and just does things for you in silence. Like making sure the company you work for isn’t suspicious (just laking sure you’re safe in general), taking care of the annoying maintenance and paperwork, randomly delivering food at your job without leaving a name , remembering your favorite things (he keeps a notebook) and buying brands of various things (even cleaning stuff) that he found effective and wants to recommend. You get what I mean. He is more into the practical stuff. But later on when you two eventually get married, he’s the type of husband who likes getting you jewelry on special occasions. Artem will get red when you get touchy with him but will gladly accept it, he’s just going to be offput at first. Besides that I think of him as someone who loves kissing your forehead and hand.

Artem is a perfectionist who puts his heart and soul into his cases, yet he knows how to destress by engaging in his hobbies or just going on walks to clear his mind. He’s also naturally very good with words and thus very good at reassuring you that everything is okay and that you’re making a good job. He couldn’t be more proud. He knows how to make you stay calm so you won’t do anything drastic just like he knows when to just let you express your anger (especially if the person really deserves a brutal check to reality). He is willing to work through your trust issues and accepts that everyone has secrets, he also does have a baggage that won’t be unloaded easily. He takes his time with this relationship because he wants it to be solid and possibly evolve into marriage. Artem will give you a disappointed look if you do something that’s really reckless, you’ll have to apologize for it lol. But he’s also clumsy, it’s perfect teasing material.

Artem likes indoor dates. He has a home cinema fully dedicated for both of you to enjoy movies as much as you can. Each night one picks the movie and the other makes the snacks. He enjoys all kind of movies but his favorites are art and war related films. With you he’ll just learn to appreciate horror more. Beware, if there’s a random law/lawyer in the movie he will comment if it’s correct or not and what he would have done as the lawyer. Artem also likes cooking with/for you no matter your level in cooking, it also gives him the occasion to dance with you in the kitchen cuz he has a vinyl player. With time, he will surprise you more with jewelry and dinner dates at exclusive places. He does go all out during his paid vacation time with you.

For the negative parts…perhaps it’s how individualist he is? He doesn’t want to burden you and sometimes doesn’t know how to communicate his feelings I guess.

Now for the wedding…I can see it being a destination wedding at a very nice beach to be honest. The honeymoon would be some sort of tour d’europe or something like this. He wants to visit the world with you and explore different cultures that’s why. Just like nanami, your house will have some kind of coffee and reading corner. Since he has a man cave you’ll have a room reserved for your hobbies. Artem loves surprising you with breakfast every morning. I can see him setting up the living room ceiling to represent the stars at your wedding day when they light up…Abd finally, the grandma has bragging rights.

if this is too personal you dont have to answer this but ive seen you talk about autism on your blog before. I really am convinced that i have autism, like now ive looked into it i feel like its the missing jigsaw piece that explains so much. I really identify with stories from females in their early 20s as well about having undiagnosed autism throughout their school years. im in the uk but im scared that i wont be believed, i have no idea how to go about it and i dont even know how to bring it up to my parents. Do you have any advice?

hi anon, i’m feeling weirdly honoured that you’ve come to me to talk about this, i probably don’t have much advice but i can definitely relate to a lot of things you’ve mentioned

okay firstly i made a post about this recently which might have been the post that prompted this ask but i’ll link it just in case

the day autism was mentioned to me (i remember it vividly, i was eleven) everything just clicked (not to sound too cliche). i knew nothing about it but by the end of the day i’d done so much googling and SO much seemed to fit. it’s wild how you can spend years not knowing why you are the way you are and then you can find out and everything makes more sense. i actually feel a lot more confident and less “weird” now that i don’t have to make up justifications for my own behaviours to myself

i was lucky (in a fashion?) that i was diagnosed at fourteen but i know that there are so many people from our generation and older who slipped through the cracks when it came to childhood diagnosis simply because they were assigned female at birth. for decades autism was seen more as a “boy thing” and it’s only, i’d say, in the last decade or two that autistic girls are being more acknowledged. even now the boy:girl ratio for autism diagnosis is something like 4:1 and there are scientific disputes about whether it’s because autism in males is really more common, if “girl autism” is different or if girls are simply conditioned to hide their traits or show them in a different way. because of this, it’s very possible that there are many undiagnosed young women in your exact situation. it might be helpful to look for online communities (i was going to say forums but are they really a thing now?) of people you can relate to, who are going through the same thing

to be honest, i never had to convince anyone i was autistic because it wasn’t me who thought i was autistic in the first place, it was my deputy head teacher in middle school who first mentioned it in a school meeting to my mum, nan and other teachers. i didn’t even tell my friends until i was officially diagnosed. this means i don’t have much experience in what you need advice with. of course, i have no idea what your relationship with your parents is like or if they’re open-minded or knowledgeable about neurodiversity, so you’ll ultimately need to be the judge of how to approach it. maybe it’ll work best to sit them down and make sure they’re paying attention, but that’s a lot of pressure. honestly when i wanna start a tricky conversation, i do it when the people aren’t looking at me, maybe when we’re in the car or watching tv. just try to casually bring the topic up, maybe reference a recent news story about autism, i don’t know. just ease into the conversation(s) and once you feel ready, you might just blurt out what you want to say. if you feel like people will need persuading, write out a list of your autistic traits for reference. like i said in my linked post, some people don’t know about neurodiversity, but they will often still notice if you don’t act how neurotypical people do. if you’re reading out these autistic traits, traits that you also have, they may be more inclined to connect autism with you, and they’ll know you’ve done research.

i know you’ve mentioned that you worry you won’t be believed, but it might be worth confiding in some trusted friends or other relatives before you tell your parents, even if you just frame it in a hypothetical way. that way you can get a consensus on whether you “seem autistic” or not (and maybe get some confidence) before you have the (probably?) more important talk with your parents. although i suppose, if the people you’ve asked disagree with you, it might discourage you in further exploring the possibility of you being autistic. that being said, you know your brain and how much you potentially mask more than anyone else, so if you ask for the opinions of others, don’t be disheartened if it’s not the consensus you expected.

i was gonna try to type something about actually getting diagnosed but you might not be ready for that unless you’re prepared to get diagnosed without anyone in your life knowing. i don’t have much to offer in terms of experience (because i simply don’t remember much of getting diagnosed) or advice but i’d be willing to support you through it. for now, all i can say about getting an autistic diagnosis on the nhs is… good luck charlie

okay sorry for the massive ramble, it’s the ortizzum. i hoped this gave you or someone else reading this even a smidge of help, assuming you didn’t fall asleep midway through. as i said, i’m not great with advice but i can definitely relate as a young woman who wasn’t properly supported because of a lack of diagnosis. feel free to send me another ask or dm me about anything autism related… or just anything full stop. okay i’m wishing you luck, keep me updated! MWAH! x

Request trans ftm MC

Lucifer

Makes sure he gets the proper pronouns down and MC's name

Ensures that MC takes pride in who he is

Buys MC pride flags, anything that says pride on it with the trans flag - it is his "sin" after all

Let's MC tell him whatever MC's most comfortable with

Will make sure MC receives proper medical care if he needs it to transition if he decides to transition

Will kill anyone that gives MC a hard time, if he's against killing, then another form of punishment will make do

"I want you to see the way I see you, you should be proud of yourself. That includes this."

Mammon

Will make sure to not steal any binders, meds, or anything that makes MC comfortable

Gets MC "manstrating" products, as he calls them, without complaining if MC needs them - gets some that look badass. Like a pad with flames or tampons that look like bullets? He doesn't know, he's trying. Uses Lucifer's card and buys himself something while at the store

He is great at affirming MC's gender, but may go a little overboard, see above.

Will fight anyone if he even thinks they did something wrong, like misgender MC

Brings back clothes he wore on photoshoots and gives them to him

"I-it's 'cause I'm great man, your first man, that you should look like me. Not like I want ya to match any of my outfits."

Leviathan

Like everyone else, I think Levi's trans in some way - genderfluid, nonbinary, ftm, something

Gets it, totally does

Is a bit relieved when MC comes out, because that's something he can use to bond with him.

Gives bits of advise on what to expect if he decides to transition

Shows him anime of different trans characters

Also shows MC different games that are gender neutral or allows him to pick which gender the character should be - bonus points if the character can be trans

Can sew MC new clothes if he wants, will be super flustered with it, but also really happy

"I-I want you to know I'll be here for you, whenver you need me to. You're my Henry."

Satan

Possibly not the most familiar with trans issues, but will immediately do more research on it

Has to take a break from it

Becomes enraged by how humans treat other humans and thinking of how they might treat MC

Satan will be quick to lash out at anyone looking at MC the wrong way and possibly black out doing so

"If anyone treats you terribly, I'll deal with them."

Asmodeus

Creates an entire fashion line to make trans individuals feel more comfortable

Asks for your opinion and gets in touch with others on what would work well to get a more diverse point of view

I think he's gender fluid or doesn't care about gender, but knows how it can be important to others

Both him and Levi are the best ones to go to when MC needs to rant about something

Will most definitely help MC with his skin if he goes on hormones, second puberty can be a bitch

"Oh, I'm so happy you trusted me with this my sweet MC! We'll make sure you look so cute with a new wardrobe!"

Beelzebub

Doesn't really appear like he understands, but he does

He's listened to Levi and Asmo talk about gender before

He doesn't personally understand it, but it's not for him to understand and he accepts that

Will protect MC from anyone that he thinks might cause trouble - prefers to stop it before it happens

Gets MC food that is supposed to boost testosterone

Will also know which exercises boost which muscles if MC wants to gain some muscle mass

Gives MC a hug if he's okay with it when they come out

"I'm just happy you're you."

Belphegor

Has the best baggy hoodies that he's fine with sharing

He'll take them back because it smells like him and helps him sleep

He hopes that his scent also helps MC to relax and feel better with how he appears

Makes sure he has nice dreams and appears how he wants to appear in them

Is completely judgment-free - he's more judgemental on him being human than anything

Diavolo

Transgender? Oh! Humans have gender! He nearly forgot

Is very excited to learn more about gender, what it means, and what being transgender entails

May ask too many questions or too personal of questions - it's coming from the right place, but Dia. Please. Stop. Luckily, Barbatos will make him stop

Ensures all of the proper measures are taken to change name, pronouns, and bathroom use (if they have gendered bathrooms in Devildom???)

Barbatos

Already knew from looking into the future

Didn't say anything until he was comfortable with telling him

Very gentle in ensuring he understands when to use which pronouns - is he comfortable using he/him around everyone or just a select few

Will be standing silently near him and glares daggers with a sinister smile if anyone tries to mess with him

He'll give him little things so that MC knows that he's thinking of him and cheering him on

Simeon

Oh yes, Henry is trans, too

It's canon, not just after the fact Simeon wrote the series

He wants to make sure he did a good job at capturing a trans character and will at times ask for advice on how he should write them

Understand that it is a diverse community, though

Has the best words of encouragement and always knows what to say

Luke

Is his guard dog and puts himself in front of MC when needed

The best little brother MC could have

Doesn't really see why being trans should change how he views MC

But is really glad he has a big brother to look up to

Solomon

Is fascinated with how gender has changed throughout time

In fact, his gender changes depending on how society shifts

Will accompany MC and Asmo when they go shopping for clothes

Offers to use magic to help MC transition if he wants or brew a potion

The potion will taste awful

Is very accepting and will help protect MC when they're in the human realm together

THE STAR Magazine April 2021 Issue featuring JAY B

Translated by defdaily.

GOT7’s eternally sincere leader JAY B. A friendly interview where you can feel his warm-heartedness.

*This interview was done in informal language to give off the feeling of two friends chatting*

It has been a while since we last met for GOT7’s feature in 2017.

Right, hi. I’m JAY B. Nice to meet you. Have you eaten?

JAY B has been chosen to be on the cover of THE STAR’s 8th anniversary issue.

Dobby is free now. (Laughs). I’m a freelancer now but I still can’t believe the fact that I was chosen to be on the cover of THE STAR’s anniversary issue. I’m so thankful to THE STAR for choosing me to be on the cover so I worked extra hard during the shoot.

How are you doing these days? We’re curious to know what you have been up to.

A freelancer’s daily life is always similar. I work when there is work and rest when there isn’t. I was busy recently organising this and that to release GOT7’s digital single ENCORE. I took the lead and there were many things I needed to figure out such as paperwork. So I was very proud. The members have all joined agencies but I want to take a little more time and think about it carefully before choosing. I’m still a freelancer.

Does the freelancing life suit you?

I don’t know if it suits me but it’s fun. Now work-related calls come to me directly, so I would be asleep then receive a call. I’d go “Ah I fell asleep for a moment, sorry. What is this about?” (Laughs). Since I do even these kinds of small communications myself, it’s nice and fascinating to realise the value of work and opportunities. If I didn’t have this time and experience, I think I might have not realised the value of work as much. I used to be on edge at times when the managers used to tell me things in the past. But now that I’ve learnt how much processing has been done before the information reached me, I feel sorry. Now I have a heart full of gratitude for opportunities.

I don’t know if it’s because you’re a freelancer now, but you seem much brighter than before.

Dobby is free now. (Laughs) I’m joking. Of course it was very helpful having a company. But now that I do everything myself, I feel more satisfied. I enjoy it.

The GOT7 members have all started solo activities. It must not have been easy for everyone, how did you come to your decision?

Right. It definitely was not easy. The seven of us researched a lot so that we can continue as GOT7 together. But then we thought that we should broaden our view so each of us could end up in a better situation. In the process, what we each wanted changed a little and, there is a future that each person dreams of right? The company said we did everything we could do on our part and that they will cheer us on in the future, that made me feel proud. We are also very thankful to the company. I felt that we received a lot of protection under a large umbrella. After all, the company is like the mother that gave birth to GOT7, so I’m thankful to them and respect them. I also thought a lot and looked into a lot of things about how to continue as GOT7. I also went to the president and asked him for advice, and I greeted and thanked Jinyoungie hyung for everything.

While preparing for new activities, what was the thing most discussed amongst the members?

“So what is it that you want to do?” “So what do you want to do?” We asked that a lot. So everyone said “We have to do it" So I asked again “No, not 'I have to', but do you want to do this? Or do you not want to do this?” If you are going to do something, you should do it properly, right? If you are not going to do something with an active attitude, I think it’s better to not do it. So we all came together and decided to give it a try.

It’s clear that you are GOT7’s leader.

One advice the company president told me was that my talent and effort as a leader starts now. Personally handling matters related to our recent digital single, I felt this “Taking the lead as a leader, I need to really work hard.” There was a lot of pressure, but if I don’t do it, who would. It pushed me to work hard.

You mentioned very clearly in your social media livestream that “GOT7 did not disband.” I felt your affection towards the team, what does GOT7 mean to JAY B?

One extremely important thing in my life. Actually, it’s an indispensable part. I’m thankful for the fact that our team exists. You have to know that because GOT7 existed, we individually exist too. It wouldn't matter if my beginning was as a solo, but my beginning was as GOT7. That's what made me who I am now.

How is Lim Jaebeom different as JAY B within GOT7, JJ Project, Jus2 and ØFFSHORE?

Comprehensively they’re all sides of me but if I have to split them, they would be a novel vibe versus an essay vibe. ØFFSHORE and Def. are all about music I like, regardless of genres, and honest stories I want to tell. As for GOT7, JJ Project and Jus2, we would have a particular concept and make it a bit more fancy.

Most of the songs you have shown on SoundCloud are R&B genres with a groovy feel. Have you ever had a conflict between music you want to do and music you have to do?

I felt that I needed to work harder to prove [myself] to do what I wanted to do. I can’t always be spoon-fed. To prove [myself] I made more GOT7 tracks and sent around 15~20 demos. Later on Jinyoung hyung and the president acknowledged me and said “Jaebeom will take care of the musical aspect. You can trust him with that.” I felt really proud hearing that. I don’t really feel a sense of conflict between the musical differences. From pop and R&B to folk and modern rock, I don't want to draw lines between genres and make music that sounds good.

We are curious about the music JAY B will show alone and what you’ll pursue. What stories do you want to tell?

I want to do a variety of things. Alone, I think I will try mixing genres and do things that are fun and experimental. I can also do R&B pop or Urban genres which I’ve originally liked. But that might change later on.

Is there an artist you’d like to collaborate with in the future?

Someone with a pleasant tone to listen to. Even now, when I listen to music and I like the artist’s tone, I send them a DM asking if they’d like to collaborate. And Korea's top hip hop artist, IU-nim. Do you think it's possible? (Laughs).

Then would you like to send a message to IU?

Suddenly? Um… I will work very hard. If by chance you think my song is alright, I would love for you to add your nice voice to them. (Laughs)

An appearance that may seem cold with a tsundere charm. But what do you think your real personality is like?

I’m the type that is quiet and calm, but people close to me tell me I’m a weird person. When I cry reading a book or watching a movie, or when I get emotional they say “It’s so weird, it doesn’t suit you.”

Are you the tender type?

I think I just often get hit by waves of emotions.

We’re curious about the lifestyle you seek and your values.

To live each day without any regrets.

Is there a place you’d like to visit after COVID-19 ends?

Kyoto, Japan. It’s a place where there is a lot of Japanese heritage and it’s also pretty.

Recently you have combined your two Instagram accounts @jaybnow.hr and @def.cnvs, what was the reason?

I’m the one doing everything after all, it is just the musical name that was different. I can’t split my body into two. I realised I could combine them into one account and just show the difference within it. And as I get older, it’s hard to manage two accounts. (Laughs). Was I too honest? Now I'm confused about what's what.

Was there any other moment that made you feel old?

I don’t do much and my whole body aches. In the past, my body wouldn’t get affected by the weather. Now when the weather is gloomy my back hurts and my knees go numb. (Laughs).

I can see that you’re interested in artistic aspects such as photography, painting and fashion etc. Do these things influence your music?

Of course. They affect the way you live in itself. I’m a person who wants to express and leave behind what I feel. Calling myself an artist feels somehow cocky.

What are you interested in recently?

It’s not art but I’m interested in moving around. Living as a freelancer, I spent more time lying down at home, but now I need a fast-paced daily life. I try to wake up in the morning to eat breakfast and nutritional supplements then go outside to photosynthesize and soak in the world. Everyone has to keep moving. (Laughs).

Are you interested in fashion and lifestyle curation and design etc?

I don’t think I’m a person who dresses up exceptionally well, but if someone asks I’d be willing to help.

What would you introduce as JAY B’s preference?

Freedom. Regarding fashion too, I liked vintage and grunge styles but recently I’m interested in work look and amecage styles. My preference keeps changing. I can't define myself clearly either, but I like the sense of being free.

What inspires you?

Many situations and people, my experiences as well as indirect experiences.

How do you have an indirect experience?

Watching movies and reading books. Nowadays I read song lyrics and unfold the scenes in my head. I try to think of various points of view in these one-act plays.

To JAY B, love is?

Nonexistent. A moment. I don’t know. As you live life, I think falling in love is a momentary emotion. If it lasts long, I think it’s affection not love. I'm a person who has to talk about love, but sometimes I wonder if it’s okay to feel this way. There are also many different forms of love. The love that my parents give me and the love that my fans send me. I’m thankful for everything.

While promoting for 10 years, what was the happiest moment and most lacking point?

I feel like every moment until now has been somehow lacking. Whenever you look back you end up thinking “I should’ve done better back then.” I think everyone feels that way. But I never regret those times I’ve spent. The happiest instance was when I spotted my parents at a fanmeeting and ran to them and held them while singing. It felt like I was boasting to my fans “These people are my father and mother,” and it also felt like I was showing my parents how I was receiving that many fans’ love and support. I'm thankful that the fans looked at my family happily at that moment.

Have you ever had a slump?

I don't think about something if I think I'm going to fall into something serious, but I'm the type who gets stressed out to do something new.

You are loved not only in Korea but also abroad, have you ever thought about why your fans like you so much?

A lot. I just don't understand. I'm not even popular among my friends... Why on earth?

Think of at least one thing.

Maybe it’s because I worked hard steadily? To be honest, during the past 10 years I have never not tried my best on stage. I can say this with confidence. I’m thankful to be able to do what I like as a job. I have told the members about this previously, I’m sorry for not being affectionate to fans onstage. It’s my nature so I can’t help it. But I have never been indifferent as a singer onstage, that is a fact.

Your bucket list that you surely want to achieve this year?

Being healthy mentally and physically. Since the members have started their solo activities this year, I think I should release an album as well.

Any words for the readers?

Everyone, I’m not saying this as a formal greeting but I really want to say thank you. Hmm… How should I put this? Don’t worry since we are not disbanding. That’s why I tried hard to release the digital single. Continuing on I’m going to try my best to do as much as I can. You might feel disappointed at times along the way, and I apologize in advance for that. But what I can promise is that I’m going to do my best. Thank you so much for supporting me for 10 years. You all know this already, but I’m not so good at things like sending hearts and saying thanks affectionately. I just want to speak sincerely. Thank you so much. I hope everyone will be more happy, not just because you like and support us… I could sound arrogant saying it like this but... I hope our fans are sturdy people who will find their own small sources of happiness in their daily lives even if that isn’t us. And I hope everyone is happy. I’m so thankful and I want to ask you to trust me.

Lastly let us know your future plans.

We will try our best to match our times and do GOT7, JJ Project and Jus2 etc. no matter what. Even if our times don’t match somehow, we’ll try our best to gather even 4 or 5 people and return, so don’t worry. And Dobby is free now. (Laughs). I will do my best in everything. I've made a lot of songs and I'm diligently working on songs right now too, so look forward to it. You’ll be able to listen to it soon. Thank you. This has been GOT7 JAY B. Please give lots of love to The Star’s April issue!

Parenting with the Hargreeves HCs

Request

A/N: I didn’t include Five because I only write for him platonically or Ben because I was iffy about working around the ghost thing, I really hope that’s okay

Sparrow version

Masterlist

Luther Hargreeves

-When you tell Luther you’re pregnant he’s dumbfounded but that quickly gives way to great excitement as he hugs you and tells you how much he loves you

-He’s incredibly supportive of you, your decisions and your needs, doing whatever he can to make your pregnancy easier

-Unfortunately the longer he has to think about it the more anxiety creeps in, he worries about his own trauma bleeding onto the child as he has acted like his father before

-But you assure him he’s come far since then and would make a great dad, and your confidence in him raises his own

-And he does make a great dad, he puts the family first and dedicates his all into being the best father and partner he can be

-He can struggle to walk the line sometimes between too authoritarian or too lenient but he puts effort into correcting his errors

-One mistake he’ll never make is making a big decision without you

Diego Hargreeves

-When you tell Diego he’s in shock for a moment and questions you to make sure he’s hearing you right but then he breaks into happy tears and starts celebrating

-He is nervous though and hellbent on being a better father than Reginald was to him

-He even asks Allison for advice for the sake of covering all his bases, he really wants to do this right

-Assuming Grace is around he wants her involved as a grandmother, as well as there to help you with any struggles you have from pregnancy or raising a newborn 

-Due to his old-fashioned streak he insists on offering financial support

-He struggles with whether or not he should leave his vigilante work behind, seeking your opinion to make the decision

-He tries to be the ‘cool dad’ and show the child they can trust him but sometimes his worry gets the best of him and he snaps, of course he’ll feel awful and try to make amends

Allison Hargreeves

-Allison is very nervous to have another child after what she did to Claire and it can feel like she’s taken a backseat on parenting at first

-She does take the lead on practical matters though and thanks to her experience she can instruct you through anything you’re struggling with

-She absolutely babies and spoils the child 

-She comes to you and confesses every time she’s so much as wanted to rumor the kid, you appreciate her commitment to staying clean but it’s still heartbreaking to see the guilt she’s carrying

-She still makes as much of an effort as ever to be in Claire’s life,  more actually as she’s desperate for her to get to know her sibling, something she’s always regretted not doing with Viktor as a child

Klaus Hargreeves

-Klaus has matured a lot since meeting you, the fact that you even have a committed, stable relationship is a testament to that

-However he still freaks out when you tell him you’re pregnant, he feels like he can barely take care of himself, let alone a baby

-After a day or two of worrying, pondering and getting lectured by Ben he starts to regret not being more supportive and apologizes 

-You two are then able to effectively communicate your mutual or respective concerns and make it clear that you’ll be there for each other through them all no matter what

-All his fears leave his body when he actually sees the baby as he understands for the first time why someone would willingly take responsibility for something

-As far as parenting goes he is disorganized but resourceful, it always looks like he’s about to mess up but he never does

-It’s an unconventional but fulfilling family, you, Klaus, the child and Ben the ghost uncle makes four because even though he may not be able to interact with you or the child he relishes being there to see them grow up

Viktor Hargreeves

-When you tell Viktor you’re having a child he actually takes it the best, he immediately pulls you into a hug and tells you how great that is

-He is taking things seriously though, he reads every parenting book he can get his hands on

-Get used to seeing Allison around because she’s insistent on being there for this huge step in her siblings life, don’t worry though, she adores you

-Viktor is a wonderful parent, he has a way with earning the child’s trust and feeling like a safe place to them

-Despite the craziness Viktor -and you by association- are often dragged into you three manage a nice, domestic life together

[sunflowerdigs]

Weirdly the first Buddie vibe I got was when Eddie said he had a kid and Buck did that goofy "I LOVE kids" line. Like...who cares that you love kids, Buck? It's not like he's asking you to live with him! 😂

Buck was so impressed with Eddie after he got over his initial jealousy. I'm convinced Eddie has been his bisexual awakening. He played off that "boy crush" comment from Maddie but inside, I'd like to think that Buck was secretly wondering why he couldn't stop talking/thinking about Eddie (while also slowly acknowledging that Eddie wasn't the first time he'd felt that way about a guy). While Buck is very open about a lot of things, I think that because he has always had that voice saying he wasn't good enough, being attracted to men would freak him out a little. So, as long as he was also attracted to women, he might ignore that attraction to men or put off thinking about it or chalk it up to really strong hero worship.

Under the cut is how I would go about outing both Buck and Eddie as bisexual in the same episode

Anyway, Buck has this far assumed that Eddie could never be anything but straight so his crush on him (like all of his other crushes on guys throughout his life) can remain irrelevant until it fades. But then the topic somehow comes up early in s5 while the whole 118 is in the firehouse and Eddie just...admits to everyone that he's bisexual. He's known since high school but where (and when) he grew up, there weren't any actual gay couples to emulate. And all the high school guys he messed around with were closeted and wanted to stay that way. It was easier then (and after taking custody of Chris) to date women.

Buck is shocked af because...well, he doesn't know why. It just never would have occurred to him that Eddie was anything but straight. However, because Eddie is so open about it, during that same discussion with the 118, Buck maybe asks some things that suggest he's questioning. Eddie is surprised, and Hen gives Buck some answers while Eddie is still stunned. Before Eddie can recover and say something, they're called out to a fire/emergency.

Then, towards the end of the episode, Eddie and Buck are together by the lockers (lmao, and there's your Glee reference in this meta) and they have a...conversation that is charged with longing from each side but where nothing concrete is said in regards to possible crushes. Eddie gives the advice he was too shocked to give earlier. Buck reacts in his usual straightforward fashion. But they're more hesitant around each other than they typically are and you can see them kind of feeling each other out. It ends with Buck saying that even though he doesn't plan on dating any dudes right away because of Taylor, it's nice to know this thing about himself. And Eddie says "Know? I thought you were just questioning" And Buck just kind of smiles and shrugs, then leaves. He has a date with Taylor.

And it's finally at that date with Taylor that he admits that he thinks he might be bi - is that a problem? Taylor says no and means it genuinely - as long as this doesn't mean he's going to start sleeping with guys while he's with her (it's a joke but not really because the widening crack in their relationship is that they don't trust each other and, at best, trust the other one to be untrustworthy - Buck because Taylor is loyal to her ambitions and Taylor because Buck is loyal to the 118). They have a laugh at the idea of Buck cheating, and then once they've recovered, you can see Buck is lighter and happier because of his admission. But then Taylor asks him what brought this revelation about and Buck looks thoughtful. We don't get an answer but instead cut to the next scene which is Eddie getting Christopher ready for bed. I'd include a brief scene where Eddie either came out to Christopher or where you could infer from the bedtime story he was going to tell him that he was about to come out.

And that's it. In a following episode, I'd have Eddie interact with Michael and his husband, maybe take Christopher for a play date with Harry. At that point, I might have Eddie confide in Michael about Buck (or at least hint that there's someone he's interested in). But since so much of the series has been devoted to Buck growing up, I like the idea of him going from questioning to bi over the course of an episode. I like Eddie playing a role in it. And I like Eddie having accepted his sexuality but not being super open about it for reasons that have more to do with his current situation than with shame or guilt (shows never approach homophobia in minority communities with any nuance and I doubt 911 would be an exception, so I would almost rather they not talk about any homophobia Eddie has faced in that context).

What advice would you give to someone who really wants to be catholic but deeply disagrees with the church’s stance on LGBT people? I am afraid that if I go to church, people will say unaffirming things about me or my partner, or push me into conversion therapy.

Well, it’s not going to be easy.

When I started my conversion, I was not in line with what the Church believed about the LGBTQ+ community. In truth, I still struggle with it. 

Despite my previous stubbornness on LGBTQ+ issues, I kept my heart open to God and what the Church teaches. I didn’t ignore what the Catechism says, but instead learned to understand what it teaches and why. This allowed me to accept the Church’s stances on the LGBTQ+ community. 

Since the issues are different for gay and trans people, I’ll address them separately. 

Contrary to popular thought, being gay in and of itself is not a sin. However, acting on same sex attraction is. The Church understands that being gay is not a choice, but as a result of its inherent brokenness, people with SSA are called to celibacy. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, “Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection” (CCC 2359). 

I know a lot of people would like if the Church permitted same sex marriages and relationships, but this simple cannot be so. As Christians, we are called to be faithful to Christ and the Church, to “observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20) and that “if he refuses to listen even to the Church, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector” (Matthew 18:17). Christ asked for us to live lives in accord with Church teaching and meeting the standard he set for us. We are not only called to reject our modernist, consumer culture glorifies, but to “be perfect” as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). We are called to overcome the vices of vanity, pride, gluttony, greed, envy, lust, wrath, and sloth, while cultivating the virtues of detachment, humility, temperance, generosity, charity, chastity, patience, and fortitude.

This also means we cannot call a sin anything other than a sin. We cannot lower the Church’s standards to the culture’s level, calling abortion, remarriage (without an annulment) after a divorce, homosexual acts, or contraception anything other than violations of God’s law. For “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Claiming the Bible says something that it clearly does not say is projecting our own morality on God. In doing so, we say that God does not know what is best for us and that he does not know what he is doing. 

All of this can seem impossible. And without grace, it would be. Even with grace, we’ll often fall short. When we stumble we must repent, confess our sins, and come back to the Church. 

So... is the Church homophobic? No, it is not. Sadly, however, some people with the Church are. These kinds of people lack one of Christ’s fundamental truths to “not neglect to show hospitality to strangers” (Hebrews 13:2). We turn ourselves into hypocrites when we do not uphold the idea that are all welcome in the Church. 

Keep in mind, also, that just because “all are welcome” does not mean you can remain the same when you choose to become Christian. We are all ridden with sin, and we all have a cross to bear. But, by God’s mercy, we do not have to carry that cross alone. 

Neither to trans people. Like homosexuality, there is a lot misunderstood about how the Church views being transgender. 

For starters, the Church recognizes that every human person is created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). EVERY person. Consequently, we must act in love towards our trans siblings and reprimand those who name-call, bully, or engage in any other uncharitable behavior toward them. As Christians, how we speak to one another, the language we use, the tone of our voice, and the respect our words and attitude convey determines whether our words are used to glorify God or to slander his children. 

Respecting our fellow children of God also means we use peoples’ preferred name and pronouns. It is not a matter of affirming the person’s decision to transition, but rather it serves no use to do otherwise. If you’re having a conversation with a trans person, that conversation will not last long if you deliberately choose to use a name or a set of pronouns that the person is not comfortable with. What do you hope to achieve by refusing? You are more than likely to lose the opportunity to give them a faithful witness through which Christ can soften their heart to receive and embrace the true Gospel.

This topic is more difficult to address, in part because there is no official policy regarding trans individuals in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

The other reason is because the truth is... very difficult to hear. Admittedly, though I am not trans, I struggle to fully grasp it. Like SSA, like anything else inherently broken, it is difficult to hear the truth of our condition. But I’m not here to tell you what I think, because what I think (or have a tendency to think) is corrupt due to my sin. Therefore, I can only share with you what the Church teaches. Keep in mind, I accept what the Church teaches, despite how difficult it will be to hear, because if I didn’t, then why would I be Catholic? 

God doesn’t make mistakes. When he fashioned each of us in our mother’s womb, he did so with the care of an artist making his greatest masterpiece. He choose the things that make you uniquely you, and this includes our gender. If you feel like God made a mistake when you were created, then we don’t share the same definition of God. God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving Father, so it is impossible for him to make mistakes because it would be contrary to his nature. God created you male or female for a reason.

But gender dysphoria, the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one’s biological sex, is a very real condition and many people suffer greatly because of it. 

If your sex is a source of suffering in your life, God can be there with you to comfort you and help you through that suffering. He doesn’t promise to take away our sufferings and struggles, but He does promise to be there carrying our crosses alongside us.

Keep in mind that we are all called to holiness. For this reason, God may be asking you to grow in holiness by wrestling with trying to trust him that he doesn’t make mistakes and that he created you as male or female for a reason.

Now, you also expressed worry about people being uncharitable. Truth is, there are going to be uncharitable people. In my experience going to church, I have not encountered any. That said, I do not make my bisexuality known to the parishioners because I do not feel it is necessary. 

But if you do feel the need, talk to the parish priest about your worries. There are many priests who understand that God has called them to love everyone, not just the ones that can hide their crosses easier. So, speak with a priest - via email, phone call, or in person (whichever way you’re comfortable) - and express your interest in their parish. If they are God-fearing, they will work with you. 

I will be praying for you. God bless.

Hey I really liked your writing so I decided to send in a prompt. What do you think the brothers would only reveal about themselves to MC after a long time of dating? Maybe a different side of their personalities or an embarrassing interest? Thank you for the hard work 💕

I’m glad you like my writing! I hope you enjoy this headcanon.

What the Brothers Reveal to You After Dating You for a Long Time

 Pride:

Lucifer never seems to struggle. True, he has his fits of irritation as he tries to run Devildom while bringing Diavolo’s machinations to fruition. Even so, to an outsider he always seems to have a plan Z for everything.

The first time you saw him in a less than orderly state was when he called you to his office during one of his all-nighters. It was three in the morning and he had asked you to bring him a coffee spiked with poison. (This would have been alarming to you if you hadn't lived in Devildom for quite some time.)

Hunched over his desk and surrounded by paperwork, he looked exhausted. He didn’t even take the time to save his coffee like usual. It was gone in one gulp. When you asked what was keeping him up so late, he told you about Lord Diavolo's new idea. It had him ripping hair out he tried to figured out how to implement it.

Though he tried to shoo you away, you sat with him until 6 am, when he finally called it quits. This became a semiregular occurrence. (You talked him out of his all-nighters when you could.) Just your presence is enough to make the process of figuring out the impossible better.

When you're more settled in your relationship, he'll start asking for your advice and help. It's hard to believe that someone as persnickety as Lucifer would allow someone to do a job that he could do better, but he trusts you.

It's not always about work either. The conversations you two have about his relationship with his brothers are when Lucifer seems the most vulnerable. He wants to be close with them, but struggles. You are one of the few people he allows to know that.

 Greed:

Mammon being completely serious is still an uncommon occurrence in your relationship. He has his more reserved moments, sure, but not bouncing off the walls is not the same as having that solemn, focused look in his eyes.

There are really two occasions when this side of him comes out. One, when he's in DEEP trouble with the witches. You'll know that his debt with the witches has become serious when he's pacing the length of his room and muttering a string of numbers and calculations you can't follow.

Two, when he's trying to comfort someone, most often you. (After all, his brothers aren’t the type to admit when they’re feeling down.) There was once you had gotten to ruminating about the past. Those memories had whirl winded into something ugly. All your past regrets and embarrassments built up and weighed down on you until you began to cry.

Luckily or unluckily, Mammon came barging into your room at that time. He was ranting about some new opportunity for making money. In your melancholy daze, it was hard to remember. You must have looked awful because the switch was immediate.

Mammon gathered you in his arms and rubbed your back until you calmed down enough to talk. At first, he seemed agitated since he thought one of the brothers had done something to upset you. However, as you explained what happened he settled down. He was silent as you spoke and his eyes never left your face as if he was trying to gather up your every word and reaction.

Mammon is surprisingly insightful when he wants to be. What he said to you after your rant was thoughtful and wise – completely unlike his typical persona. You knew the typical fun-loving demon had returned when he said, "Anyway, forget about all that stuff. You have the Great Mammon looking out for you now."

 Envy:

Levi is extremely capable. Being an otaku shut-in, it's an aspect of him that isn't immediately apparent and that you've probably only seen glimpses of.

Levi's ability to keep up with all things otaku, while perhaps not impressive to anyone outside of the anime community, is a testament to his persistence. And no matter what normies think, Levi isn't without ambition.

It's actually a little while into your relationship that he brings up an old goal of his: creating an otaku podcast. He was timid as he began to explain his vision to you, but about an hour in it was clear that he knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do. He just needed a little nudge.

After many reassures, some words of affirmation, and a pretty drawn out planning session, he got to work. For the next couple of months, he was busy - completely hyper focused on this goal.

He reached out to some smaller creators in the otaku community to find others interested in making a podcast. The two of you went searching for a place and some equipment to rent out. There were many late nights with just the two of you drafting up some beginning podcast topics.

Levi was a nervous mess before the first recording. You sat in on the first one just to be a calming presence, but in the end, you don’t think he needed it. He had a BLAST.  Everyone seemed to play off each other so well.

When the podcast came out, it was a modest success. Those that liked it were begging for more. He was practically vibrating from excitement and overflowing with new ideas after that.

Levi undoubtedly did most of the leg work, but he'll insist to his last breath that it was all because of your support. To him, he can jump any hurdle with you by his side.

 Wrath:

Satan is disgustingly romantic. For all the rage he can store in his body, honeyed words and sweet sentiments take their place there, too. Blame it on all the romance books he's read over the millenniums.

This aspect of him was probably the clearest during your dates, where he’ll take you to some unknown, but beautiful place. Even as you take in the environmental or astronomical wonders that Devildom offers, his eyes can’t seem to part from your form. It’s as if your existence is even more surreal.

This sentiment bleeds into your daily life the longer you're together. Most notably when you start finding small notes everywhere.

In the morning you found a note on your dresser, scrawled in his neat cursive. It read, “Your smile is as refreshing as the morning dew.” The smile in question appeared on your lips and you could almost see Satan’s amused smile in your mind.

Another note that said, “Your curiosity is something to be admired and feared,” had you giggling in the middle of RAD’s hallways. You got a few odd stares for that.

Surprise, surprise, there were more in your backpack, textbooks, around your room, everywhere. Each contained a small snapshot of his feelings about you.

At the end of the day, you found him tucked away in the library with a book like usual. When you asked him why he hid all those notes, he simply said, "So, that you would have at least one happy moment each day.”

 Lust:

Asmo takes pride in his appearance, but more than that, fashion and beauty are a defensive mechanism. If he looks less than perfect, then there might be merit in what people say about him. They might have good reason to hate or resent him.

When he's at his most beautiful, he can pass those reactions off as people being envious of his perfection. It may seem like a small thing, but it's a privilege to see him before all the primping and preening.

So, when you woke up after one of your rendezvouses and found him still in bed, you were surprised. Usually, he was already up and about, wrapped in one of his silk robes.

He always looked like he woke up fashionably messy. Hair that was perfectly mussed, robe that was draped lazily over his shoulders, and eyes that seemed dewy with sleep, but the smell of bathing oils and perfume always gave away his morning preparations.

Seeing him with bedhead, rubbing at his bleary eyes, and yawning out morning breath was surreal. You thought you were dreaming until he pulled you closer and nuzzled into your chest. His lack of pretense went unmentioned for cuddles and an extra thirty minutes of sleep.

Every time he does this, know that he's choosing to be vulnerable with you. And perhaps more importantly, that he's opening himself up to your criticisms. Ones that he can't/won't deflect and will take to heart.

 Gluttony:

Beel is rarely angry. As the peacemaker of the brothers, he's often the one pacifying the others. It doesn't leave him much room to express his own anger.

More than that, Beel doesn't like to hold grudges. It makes him feel guilty. There's already so much animosity among his brothers already; he doesn’t want to add to it.

You were really worried the first time he came to vent to you. He had entered your room a bit solemnly and gathered you into his arms. Then, he’d asked your permission to disclose something to you.

At first, you thought he was sad. Beel had commonly shared moments where he felt sad or upset, but this quiet simmering anger was new to you.

He started off quietly. It was lucky his mouth was right by your ear or else you'd have never heard what he was muttering. The whole rant started off with him confessing how frustrated he was with Lucifer for still withholding information and not leaning on the brothers for help.

As you nodded and encouraged him to go on, he got more confident. The conversation drifted away from Lucifer, to his qualms with the rest of the brothers. All of them for condescending his intelligence on a daily basis, Mammon for always going through everyone’s things, Asmo for constantly stealing his cake, and so on.

Beel had completely cooled off by the end of his rant and was a tad bit embarrassed. However, as he gets more comfortable venting, he'll let you know about small things that irritated him that day. It becomes like a daily confessional ritual between the two of you.

 Sloth:

Belphie is notably cynical. However, this gets toned down by his aloof, sleepy persona. As adorable and soft as he is, he harbors numerous negative opinions of the world.

He doesn't trust easily and often expects the worst of people - demons, humans, angels, it doesn't matter. To his credit, when he isn’t blinded by his temper, he’s often right in his assessments. However, for Beel's sake, he typically suppresses this response.

With you, he feels he can air out his grievances. The first of these occurrences happened after a post-nap in the attic. The two of you were curled around each other and he began to let his woes slip out into the space between the two of you.

He talked about everything from his brothers to the exchange program to even his reservations about you. The dichotomy of Belphie cuddled into you, surrounded by a mountain of pillows while lamenting the woes of the world was frankly jarring. But when he finished, he seemed to sink deeper into your embrace like a weight had lifted off his shoulders.

As he continues to talk to you about all his less than optimistic views, they become a sort of philosophical debate between the two of you. There’s something satisfying about throwing each other’s ideals around and deconstructing them. More appealing to Belphie is that the two of you can have these conversations without judging each other (too much) or forcing your morals down the other’s throat.
