This week in BL - I am all over the place, But Laws of Attraction is Phenomenal af

July 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Laws of Attraction (Thai Sat iQIYI) 1 of 8 - Icky picked it up but it’s not airing for me until Sundays so I held this post specifically to watch and talk about this show. Stars the pair from To Sir With Love with the same production team. IT’S SO GOOD Y’ALL. A morally corrupted trickster lawyer with a tragic past, sad eyes, and a beautiful smile that he uses like a weapon. Meets paladin martial arts instructor from other side of the tracks (who is out, at least to his baby sister). Corrupt police. Spoiled rich kid evil. Ambitious politician. Tragic death. Terrible subs.* This show is very like Manner of Death but so far it is a much better/tighter story. It’s NOT BL but it is fucking phenomenal. And you shoudl watch it. Not wait to binge it. WATCH IT. On a global scale this might be the best thing currently airing featuring gay romantic leads. Its really fucking good. It’s Lawless Lawyer but more complex character motivation and gay af. Fuck yes please and thank you. FINALLY. Triggers for violence, beatings, death & torture depicted on screen. Like MoD they are not holding back.  (* A lot of the familial names they are using are not gendered in Thai but translated as such, like “nephew”. This one is gonna go down a lot easier if you know some Thai.)

Step By Step (Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 12fin - 2 years pass and no one’s hairstyle changes? Srs. Them meeting again = hella AWKWARD. Both still pining & hurt. NO SINGING. The reconciliation scene was great. I enjoyed that on the “do over relationship” they went with phi/pom (instead of the super formal khuns). So cute and so much more relaxed. Also lots of neck kisses! Charming final ep. It’s only flaw being they dropped the side couple, but I wasn’t really into them anyway. Ultimately? This is what Boss & Babe should have been and could we please have Up lead out another BL? I miss him and he only gets prettier. Full review below.

La Pluie (Sat iQIYI) ep 12fin - I adore the tiny little baby GL thread that we almost got. And I wish we had had more of it throughout the show. The side couple turned out to be good too. Emotional crying kisses are my favorite. Sunshine netted himself an earnest serious romantic boy, we likey. As for the main couple? Well... Tai’s search story arc was dull and dragging in a final ep and it felt bloated and slow as a result. It was a good confession reunion with Tai figuring all of his shit out, not surprising but fine. Kind of a a weak final ep. Full review below. 

Hidden Agenda (Thai Sun GMMTV YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - JoonDunk are back and we have all seen this a million times before, but Thailand never executed a successful formula it didn’t want to repeat a million times over, drunk bathroom and everything. Welcome (back) to Thai BL (and back and back and back). Basically they just added glasses, a new 1-shared-brain-cell friendship group, and different uni departments. Ah GMMTV, forever trying to recreate the magic of 2gether. But also I’m enjoying it. I’m a simple person. (Hi Jamie! Still in college since 2018 I see.) Anyone else notice that Chinese phrase that they did not translate for us? Mmm hum. Cute. Still... NO SINGING. 

Low Frequency (Sat iQIYI) ep 2 of 8 - Thames is in coma and getting slagged off on the socials. It’s moving a bit slowly but the premise is interesting despite the poor quality of the execution. 

Dinosaur Love (Sun iQIYI) ep 3 of 8 eps - Major trigger for self harm depicted on screen in part 2/4. I skipped it. Then there is assault and verbal abuse. I told you Ultimate Troop is NOT to be trusted. 

Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 2 of 12 - Look, I don’t really mind this show but I also don’t like second hand embarrassment and I sense a metric butt ton incoming.

Be My Favorite (Fri YouTube) ep 8 of 12 - I was not best pleased with this episode. Ya’ll round the tumblr-sphere seem to be enjoying it but I have officially hit the wall on Kawi. There is not enough booze for me to cope with his shizz. I may be alone in this. But gotta say how I feel... Unlike him. Trash watch here.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Tokyo in April is... AKA Shigatsu no Tokyo wa (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 5 of 8 - Poor Ren, he feels compelled to take on the burden of protecting everyone from sexual assault because he blames himself. And he can’t even talk to his boyfriend about it. Oh fuck me the pair of shoes at the door. And neck kisses? TOO MUCH. Argh. Japan. Why must you hurt so good? 

Stay By My Side (Taiwan Fri Gaga) 3 of 10 eps - It’s a very cute show. All the tropes and archetypes with no fuss or attempts to be clever, just executing them (sometimes over and over again). Even hiccoughs as a result of flirting! I haven’t seen that one in ages. The show feels old fashioned as a result. Nostalgic. I’m good with that. 

Tie The Not (Pinoy YouTube) ep 6 of 8 - Sad boys still sad now drunk. (Noooooo shoes on bed! Argh.) Finally kisses! Also good ones for a large portion of this ep. Plus hair pulling. And verse rep! And after sex convo. Then side dishes have a whole proper gay ax covo about top/bottom. Everyone say thank you Philippines! get down with your queer selves! 

Stupid Genius (Vietnam Fri YouTube) ep 6fin - I believe this was the final episode. It was cute. This is a standard sort of semi-crappy VBL high school drama. Enjoyable in its floppy friendliness, weirdly like a queer after school special promoting education. Dead fish kisses but fine for what it is. 7/10 

Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) 2 of 12 eps - Activate cohabitation trope. They okay bfs. Minato not as frustrating this week, but still frustrating for me and Shin. Next week = cute outfits and dumb miscommunication yay!

Vian the series (Vietnam YouTube ) ep 11 of 12 - again it didn’t show up on my dash in time for this. I’ll pop it into next week. 

It’s airing but ...

House of Stars (Thai Mon iQIYI) 12 eps - I bounced at ep 3. Will binge if told it is worth it at end.

Stay (Pinoy YouTube) 7 eps - It’s mostly English & set in LA (shudder) so I’m not bothering.

Stay With Me ... NO I WILL NOT! And you can’t make me.

Ended This Week

Step By Step Series Review  

This was Thailand’s answer to The New Employee, and everything I loved about that show I loved about this one. This was an office romance between stern boss and sweet subordinate that felt more authentic to an office environment than previous Thai BLs of this ilk. And that authenticity added tension to the narrative and character development (how novel). Now that might be because it has western source material, or it might be because it is actually kind of old-fashioned (it’s been years since I worked as an office grunt). I also really enjoyed the brothers’ relationship, and kinda wished they hadn’t attempted (and failed) to give said brother his own side BL. That one flaw made it a 9/10 for me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

La Pluie Series Review

This BL takes to task the fated mates trope and what it means to have love chained intimately to predestination. It’s about how faith in destiny before choice diminishes the authenticity of emotion, relationships, and connection. This is a high concept to examine through the lens of a BL. By activating + examining the soulmates trope this show is challenging a foundation of romance: the idea that there is one person meant to be your one romantic partner all your life. This means that we, as viewers, spend much of the show worried about it having a happy ending, and that’s the source of both its brilliance and tension: would the narrative have the strength to truly challenge its own romantic core? But, ultimately, all this elevated complexity was executed in a somewhat shaky manner with the narrative derailing into some serious pacing issues and characters manipulated by miscommunication. However, with good chemistry and decent acting all around, plus some excellent high heat and representation of consent and a few other rare tropes, this one has to (like it’s sibling show My Ride) earn a 9/10. I enjoyed it even as it made me think, so despite its flaws: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting:  

7/19 Wedding Plan (Thai Wed YouTube & iQIYI)  - It's Mame and she's coming for our GL. She's such a misogynist IMAGINE what we will get with a GL side dish? It's going to be absolute carnage. To crane your neck as you drive by the car wreck or not? That is the question. Me? I'm wallowing in the guts. Trying to decide to trash watch or not... 

7/20 Jun & Jun (Korea Thu Viki) - From 2022 I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT! So excited for this one. 

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

FYI roselle juice is made from hibiscus (a flower) so technically neither a tea nor a juice. (Hidden Agenda)

Tie the Not = all the verse rep this ep. I love this for them. 

The giggling was SO DAMN CUTE (Step by Step, na?) 

We all guessed it but it was still fun. (Stupid Genius) Also miracles of miracles, two actors who actually look like they could be brothers play brothers. 

First time I’ve seen faen translated as significant other. (Laws of Attraction)

THE PAIN! (Tokyo) 

(Last week.)

[charcadett]

Soooooo I noticed you like Hassel and your boi's got daddy issues. So how about some headcanons of Hassel being someones father figure? Student or not whatever's easier for you please and thank you!

I got two asks about Hassel as a father figure in the same day as each other and that’s so funny to me. He just exudes dad energy huh? I’m going with a teenage student in this one rather than a young kid, though I can definitely be persuaded to do a different Hassel dad scenario! Um, I did end up getting a little project-y here, sorry about that. Oops- Hope you enjoy :D

CW: Absent father, implied bad mother, and feelings regarding that

Hassel As A Father Figure

- It’s easy to get attached to Hassel, especially if you’re a young teenager lacking praise or affection. Your own father is distant at best, and not in the picture at worst. You don’t let it bother you. Whenever one of your peers gives you their sympathy, you shrug it off. He hasn’t been in your life for a long time. How can you miss something you’ve never had? That is until an innocuous compliment from your art teacher makes you tear up. You manage to hide it behind your paper, but you know that your eyes sting and your heart simultaneously aches and soars inside the confines of your ribs. It’s hard not to feel ashamed. You thought you were beyond this, that whatever wound your father left closed up a long time ago. Evidently, you were wrong.

- Hassel notices. Of course, he does. Teenagers are never as good at hiding things as they think they are. Out of respect for your privacy, he doesn’t mention it. He does keep a closer eye on you, though. When you find yourself at his desk, nervously showing him what you’ve been working on, along with a heaping of praise, he adds that his door is always open if you need to talk.

- It takes you a while to take him up on his offer. During your lunch, Hassel happens to have a free period, and you’re too busy fidgeting with your lunchbox, wondering if you’re a weirdo for even showing up, to notice Hassel approaching you. He waves, invites you inside, and asks what you need. You shrug. “I don’t really have anyone to eat lunch with and I feel stupid just sitting at a table alone. Can I eat in here?”

- Hassel, of course, says yes. The art room is open to anyone for whatever reason. Would you prefer to eat in silence or talk? You decide on silence. He takes it in stride, offering you a smile before he sits down and works on his lesson plan. It takes you even longer to talk to him. Every so often, you’ll blurt out a question you had in class but were too shy to share. Hassel’s answers are never concise. The rest of your lunch is spent slowly working through your sandwich while he rambles.

- It’s during one of your lunch visits that Hassel’s cousin drops by, and he steps into the hall to give them a piece of his mind. You can’t help but listen. They’re right outside after all, and you can’t deny your curiosity. His situation isn’t the same as yours, but you can’t help but feel a bit of solidarity. His dad is far away, and though that is his choice, you want to know if there’s any common ground. Your dad left you. It was out of your control. How can you make yourself feel like you wanted that? That you were the one that left him. Would you go back to normal? You never felt like this before. Why now?

- Hassel steps back into the room, running an exhausted hand down his face, and starts to offer you an apology. Before he can speak, you beat him to it. “Do you ever miss your dad?”

- Not the most elegant way to start a conversation. You immediately recognize you may have shoved your foot in your mouth with an embarrassed blush. He’s caught off guard for a moment but recenters himself after a few seconds. “I do occassionally, but I am far happier here than I would have ever been at home.”

- “How do I, um.” You fidget with the strap of your lunchbox. “How do I stop? Missing him, I mean.”

- Hassel doesn’t have an answer for you. He does, however, decide at that very moment that you need someone. A strong guiding force to help you get through this. While there may be no easy solution, he knows that at your age, he would have appreciated support more than anything. His own relationship with his family is rocky. There was no one to foster his talent or interest outside of what was expected of him. There was no helping hand through that brief and lonely period right after he left home. No one to help him navigate his admittedly large emotions. If you ever need anything, no matter how big or small, you are welcome to ask. The same offer he gave you before, though, this time, there was a new weight to it.

- As usual, you start off small. Popping by during his free period to ask for advice on making friends, or whether he knows of any instance that Raifort allows late work. (She doesn’t) Eventually, you go a little deeper. You had a fight with your mom, and you know she’s wrong, but she made you feel childish and small. Hassel frowns and gently tells you that you’re right. She shouldn’t talk to you like that. For some reason, that makes you cry. Which you feel ashamed of because you shouldn’t be crying anymore. That fight was hours ago. You aren’t even mad anymore, so why are you crying? Hassel consoles you and tells you that it’s normal. It’s better to let it all out than keep it in. As he rubs your back, you end up sobbing even harder. He’s right, though. You do feel better after.

- On one of the lunches you spend with Hassel, Brassius happens to drop by. When he sees you, you’re almost taken aback by his grin. He always looks so serious on the billboards of Levincia, not to mention how intense he can be when he’s a guest speaker in class.

- “You must be that student Hass speaks so highly of.” He crosses his arms as he throws a glance at Hassel over his shoulder. “I am honestly surprised he hasn’t tried to pull out adoption papers yet.”

- There is a part of you that worries your attachment to Hassel is one-sided. You’ve accepted that you see him as a surrogate father, but you’ve also accepted that it’s likely he only sees you as a particularly friendly student. Maybe he pities you or something equally awful. Hearing Hassel’s scolding “Brassie!” and Brassius’ snort makes you realize how wrong you are. Even if you want to turn into a Slugma and hide in the vents for a little while.

BATMAN AND ROBIN 2023 #1 (Take 6 (yes))

(im not writing this as i go since ive already read the issue before. ill also be mentioning gotham war since this takes place during it (just a warning for spoilers!))

i just noticed the bat and robin on the cover! so cute

OH........(just noticed this too) that doesn't look good

look at them goofing off n having fun

this is cute but the way bruce acts here and in gotham war is so jarring its kinda funny

bruce in batman #137: can't stand my fake ass family

bruce in b&r: me and my son damian 🤗

bruce is in his "local dilf in the area" era rn

damian having talia's mannerism that bruce noticed is so <3

and here its confirmed that this takes place during gotham war. not sure how to feel about that

STILL INSANE OVER THIS baby first self insert fanfic

damian went from drawing hyper realistic gore vent art to anime eyes in the corner

i think it'd be fun if we see damian write more as the story goes on. like him daydreaming n doodling in class

wonder if theres any meaning with damian putting talia as a hero n bruce as a criminal here...or maybe its just a "totally original character do not steal" thing

you dont say bruce 🙄

"the last few years"?? pretty sure the events shown there all happened not even in 2 years since damian turned 14 around the start of the lazarus tournament

also why are alfred n talia not shown there? alfred's death has huge impact on damian (he literally hallucinated him) n talia was there as much as ra's

i dont like how damian looks here but that white connor should be a crime

"thats enough emotions for tonight father" [slams door]

i wonder why damian is staying with bruce tho (outside of making this book exist) didn't bruce n talia had a custody battle moment™ n damian's like "nah i have my own life (is literally 14)"

HELL YEAH MY BOY CAN COOK

he's quoting alfred ohhh im gonna sob

this is kinda embarrassing for bruce...like ur son is finally living with you again n he's the one up early cooking?? sir u better step up

aw he's making tea the way alfred did

*squints* did bruce get his hand back? thats a pretty normal looking hand to me

did damian's comment on it in batman #137 made bruce think "shit i cant give damian any ideas of getting a robot hand" n he just. magically grow it back

[GLASS SHATTERING SOUND]

gotham...heights? n. not gotham academy? no maps? no damian joining her dnd team?? no detective club finally hanging out with damian??

ik damian got expelled from gotham academy BUT. WHY

okay? whats the point if he's not going to the same school that his friend went to?

interesting how damian fantasize for a normal life in robin 2021 (with him liking the mundanity of shoujo manga) n now that bruce is offering him that he's rejecting it (or maybe he just rly don't like school which is. fair enough)

wellll just cuz we're not getting maps n the detective club doesn't mean damian's other friends arent showing up right? RIGHT? (maya plz come home)

THE ROBIN MOBILEEE it looks so ridiculous i love it

HOLD ON. DOES THIS CAR HAVE NO SEAT BELTS?? BRUCE UR LETTING THIS SLIDE?

ik that thing is rly loud too damian waking up the whole neighborhood here

not rumors abt the batfam fighting getting spread around?? this is so embarrassing omg

am i the only one getting gotham academy flashbacks here? with killer croc n the trio with the fox shark n bird masks

they're very comfortable with calling eachother father n son while in suits huh. ig everyone in gotham knows that batman is a dilf (who's beefing with his adult children) now

not much to say abt the rest: bruce got shot with something n now bats are attacking him

end thoughts: i hope with all the focus on animals here means that we're getting damian's pets back soon n that gotham war wont affect this book much since i rly want to see damian interact with his siblings again. also is it just me or does the day scenes looks very bright? saturated? it kinda hurts for me to read idk. the night scenes r pretty tho

next issue is damian's first day on his new school that is not gotham academy but im still excited for it! (coping)

bonus bestie corner

Ace Attorney Headcanons - Favorite Kind of Movies

It's been a while since I posted oops- since I don't have any art rn have another silly headcanons post!

Apollo: Likes action movies with cheesy plots and happy endings. A little embarrassed by his own unsophisticated taste, but it doesn't stop him from vouching for his favorites at movie night

Athena: She is very particular about movies, mainly because she's very sensitive to them and she will get overly invested and upset by the content. Can't handle suspense, gore or tearjerkers. She likes comedies.

Trucy: Simply doesn't have the attention span for a movie. She will keep getting up to do other things for like the first 20 minutes and then she just won't come back

Klavier: Is into ✨️CINEMA✨️ you know but is perfectly happy to watch goofy car chases with Apollo as long as they can also watch. Idek what is a good film. Citizen Kane?

Sebastian likes cartoons and won't be judged for it. Full on looney toons ass

Kay: She likes anything exciting, particularly action/adventure, spy movies, or horror. She likes mysteries but they can't be too slow burn or she loses interest and starts complaining "WHENS SOMEONE GONNA DIE"

Edgeworth: Thinks movies are a waste of time unless they're about the Steel Samurai, during which he pays full attention and gets very engaged. Other than that though, he is always pulling out pads of paper and case files and insisting he's watching while he starts a whole ass project

Nahyuta: Similarly, Nahyuta has to convince himself that the movie is going to be educational in order to justify watching it. But the thing is that it's actually very easy for him to do that so Rayfa will be like "hey wanna watch pitch perfect 2" and Nahyuta will be like "yes this will be ummm this will be very helpful in gaining an understanding of western show culture and femininity"

Rayfa: As we know, she likes cartoons like the Plumed Punisher but would never admit it to anyone EVER. She watches them PRIVATELY in her room and turns off the TV when anyone comes within 10 metres of the door. I also imagine that she and Pearl watch chick flicks together as older teens on their sleepovers

Last but not least, Simon Blackquill, with a special word for word quote from my private hc notes at 4:30 AM:

"simon is a big snob who will watch movies and go 'tch.' at every other scene because that's not how it works in real life, when i was in the clink my cellmate got impaled on a straw and shit himself from the pain, these films shy away from the unpleasant reality ho ho ho. however he really likes arsenic and old lace"

I would also add now that he likes old time samurai movies a lot and likes to pause and point out what parts are accurate and what parts are not

[emlovslennon]

Hi, it's me again! :)

So, I was wondering if you could write me a little something for Johnny! I just watched Nowhere Boy so I'm on a Quarrymen John kick, so maybe something of John hitting on the girl in the crowd during his first show with them at the garden party?

Or if not, another idea is:

Maybe something with fluff and smut like John being insecure about his weight at the beach, and the girl helps him feel better about himself and feel sexy by showing him how much she loves and wants him. Sorry I just think chubby John is so handsome and beautiful just the way he is! Poor boy didn't know how beautiful he was.

Sorry for saying two things, I just have a lot of ideas. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever requested something from someone since I'm new to the fandom and Tumblr 💀

Thank you! ❤️

AH IM HONORED IM YOUR FIRST CHOICE!!! Omg i love both of these so imma try to do the first one cuz oml quarrymen john >>> LOVE THIS IDEA!!

Era: 1958

Warnings: none :)

-

You watched as this new group “The Quarrymen” played for the first time, your friend brought you up to this, mainly because she found out you’ve clearly taken a liking to John Lennon, the lead singer, and, you knew you couldn’t deny it. But you just never felt the courage to go up and talk to him, and besides, you’re a complete goodie two shoes, what on earth would a teddy want with you? Well, unbeknownst to you, that was all about to change.

“Oi! You there! Yes! You!” You heard someone shout, you immediately turned your head from your friend to see John, staring directly at you and pointing right in your direction. You were absolutely stunned, there’s no way this happening, right? He must be pointing at someone else.

“M-me?” You said, embarrassed to be to loud, just in case it wasn’t you, the other girls around you were screaming their heads off.

“Why, yes you! Couldn’t you see i was bloody pointing at you? Meet me after the show, I need to talk to you” he said, smirking devilishly, your heart skipped a beat and your cheeks were crimson, there’s no way he just said that to you.

After the show, everyone started to leave, some girls giving you side eyes and others saying very cruel things, but you waited for John, and before you knew it, everyone was gone, but out came John walking towards you.

“A-are you sure you wanted me?” You asked, completely unsure and quite frankly very insecure, you felt as if there was plenty of prettier girls in that crowd.

“Of course, i told you to wait, didn’t I? I wanted to tell you that you’re absolutely stunning, I see you in art class and can never stop staring at you, none of those other birds can compare to you, I just know it, I just, I feel like I need you” he said, slowly caresses your arms with his hands, you felt as if you couldn’t even form words, but you knew you needed to.

“John.. I-I like you too, I was just scared to tell you, I felt you wouldn’t feel the same and id make a fool of myself, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you soo-“

And with that, John gave you soft, passionate kiss on your lips.

“No need for that, love, you made me the biggest fool in Liverpool over how crazed I am for you.”

SORRY IF THIS WAS SHORT AHHH BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT I LOVED WRITING THIS

Road to 4☆TOWN

part 1…part 10…part 20…part 30

Z narrowed his eyes when he opened the door. “You.”

“Hey, bff.” Taeyoung pulled the lollipop out of his mouth. “How’s your sister been treating you?”

“Why are you asking about my—OOF!” Z was interrupted by Olivia head butting him. “LIVVY!”

“Wow, you’re right. I got a real charge out of that.” Olivia smiled brightly. “And to think I’ve been sticking to embarrassing him in front of his boyfriend all these years.”

“Now that is an art you’ve mastered that I haven’t.” Taeyoung said as he stepped inside. “Perhaps you can teach me your ways.” He slung an arm around her shoulder.

Olivia blushed and she started giggling. “T-That would be amazingly cool.”

“Ugh, I can’t stand seeing you two together.” Z rolled his eyes. “What do you get out of being so chaotic anyway?”

“It’s so satisfying.” Olivia answered as she very carefully started holding Taeyoung’s hand. “Who would I even be if I wasn’t bugging you or Lijah all the time?”

“Besides, you know me.” Taeyoung subconsciously shook Olivia’s hand off of his and moved his arm away from her. “Chaos is my love language.”

“It’s your what?” Olivia’s eyes widened.

“Oh by the way.” Taeyoung pulled a box of Pocky out of his sweater pocket. “For you and that adorable boyfriend of yours.” He winked.

“Ewww, you think I’m gonna kiss him when he’s sick?” Z took the Pocky with a look of disgust.

“I AM NOT SICK!” T yelled as loud as he could with a hoarse voice and a stuffy nose. “It’s allergy season and the pollen count is high today.” He narrowed his eyes. “You can give me all the tea and soup and drugs you want. Pollen has far more power.”

“You want me to go to the store and get you that allergy medicine that always helps?” Taeyoung offered.

“You have an allergy medicine that solves this?” Z raised an eyebrow.

T was quiet for a moment. “I forgot.” He shrugged awkwardly. “Tae-Tae, you would be a lifesaver if you got it for me. I’d owe you every hug and cheek pinch in the world.”

“And you’ll let me put volcanic ash on your face next time I sleep over?” Taeyoung’s eyes brightened.

“Volcanic ash?” Z and Olivia looked at him in confusion.

“He has a lot of Korean skincare products that he brings up every time he wants to tell me my skin is shit.” T waved a hand nonchalantly. “Yes, Tae, you can fix my skin if you save my nose and throat.”

“EEP!” Taeyoung squealed. “I’ll be back in a flash.”

“Wait!” Olivia followed him. “I wanna go, too.”

“Nope.” Z shook his head. “Nuh-uh. No way.”

“Why not?” Taeyoung crossed his arms. “She’s hardly a kid anymore. Do you not trust me?”

“It’s not you I don’t trust.” Z focused his gaze on Olivia.

Olivia groaned. “Aaron—”

“Babe.” T called him. “She can and will tackle you to the ground again if you get in her way right now. Trust me, she’ll be fine.”

Z narrowed his eyes. “Fine, but only because the way you’re handling this makes me wanna use this Pocky.”

T gave him a flirty smirk. “Is that so?”

“Okay, we’re out.” Taeyoung grabbed Olivia’s wrist and pulled her out the door. “Remember we’ll only be gone for twenty minutes so try to be normal by the time we get back.”

T and Z both hummed an absentminded response as they put a Pocky stick between them.

“Ugh, they’re so annoying.” Taeyoung rolled his eyes as he shut the door. “It’s almost as if they don’t know they have two adorable younger siblings watching them.” He smirked evilly. “That’s why they deserve to get tormented.”

“Yeah.” Olivia agreed with a ridiculous grin. “I love how much you love chaos.”

Taeyoung stared at her. “Gee, no one’s ever told me that before. Thanks, Squirt.” He shrugged. “Now let’s get moving cuz I’m very interested in those wedding photos you promised to show me over the phone.”

“I’m so excited to show you.” Olivia wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they started walking down the hall. “It feels like the start of something new.”

Taeyoung chuckled almost condescendingly. “Livvy, we’ve known each other for like three years now.”

My thoughts on the newest helluva boss (mostly critical)

Man, usually I am in the boat of "critical, but ultimately still love it" with these season 2 eps, but Unhappy Campers might be the first I've hated.

Moxxie and Millie felt like their motivations should have flipped. Millie's need for validation came out of nowhere. She's objectively the most useful and competent member of the team and nobody has ever told her otherwise. Why would she be getting sidetracked by the compliments of some random humans? Moxxie's whole thing is loving and supporting her so Millie acting like he doesn't write more than one song about how amazing she is is really strange.

Likewise, Moxxie does need validation but his attention seeking behavior was really off. One of his strengths is he's a talented songwriter but he basically just wrote a song that went "Me me me me me?" and it just...didn't feel like him. I was watching the episode with a friend and I had so much secondhand embarrassment watching Moxxie make an ass out of himself.

I think the episode would have worked much better if their roles had been swapped. Moxxie has been the narrative's punching bag, especially this season, and it would be fun to have an episode where he is praised for once, but it goes to his head. And Millie feeling jealous, but then realizing her husband needs her support the same way he supports her, would be adorable and make sense for their first real moment of tension onscreen.

There's other ways it could have made sense too. We know very well Moxxie has daddy issues, and his need for Blitz's approval stems from the fact he's an older male authority figure. So what if there was a very fatherly camp counselor there that Moxxie wanted the approval of? In my opinion, this would make much more sense, because since when do M/M care about what humans think of them? Up until this point in the show, human characters have all been disposable meat sacks, with no traits other than dumb or violent. Not only humans, but human teens. It's just very cringeworthy to me since it's such an out of nowhere urge for these married adults to want teens to fawn over them.

Also, from the moment Moxxie said their characters were siblings, I knew it'd be an incest joke. And yeah it did happen...in the worst way possible. Is no one gonna talk about how they stripped down and banged for an audience of preteens? Yes, I get it, it's hell, the characters suck, blah blah blah but not with M/M. I could see characters like Blitzo or Verisoka doing that but M/M? Besides the pegging, I feel like the jokes always been that they're vanilla by hell standards. Moxxie got mad that Blitz watched them fuck and their whole plot in Ozzie's was about how he refused to publicly declare his lewd feelings for Millie. But...they're exhibitionists now, I guess, because this show is no longer about assassination, it's about character assassination.

(Some positives to finish off this post. I really liked Barbie Wire! Her design as a human especially. She's gorgeous and I wish we could have had more of her and Blitz. Also, the backgrounds and shading/lighting are better than ever. I'm a huge fan of the appearance of the sloth ring and the moody pink lighting it comes with. Helluva may irk me with its writing sometimes but the art blows me away enough to keep watching.)

STORY: Ups And Downs 24

Brother to Brother

I almost knocked Ward down as I flew off the platform and raced to greet my brother Eric, completely oblivious to the fact that I was stark naked and dragging a dong that was still three-quarters erect. I threw my arms around him and squeezed him so hard that I almost cut off his air supply. Yes, it’s true that he and I had never really been very close—mostly due to the difference in our ages—but he was the first family member I had seen in months, and I guess I was starved for that connection.

“Whoa, bro! I’m glad to see you too.”

“Eric, what are you doing here? Did you know I would be here?”

“Of course, Joe. I came to see you…although I didn’t know I was going to see all of you…but that’s OK. It’s cool.”

“But how did you know that I would be here?”

“Amy told me. I speak to her and Mom about once a week. I wasn’t sure I could make it since Cindy’s parents are visiting this weekend, but then I got a call from Mr. Block here, and he convinced me that I should not miss this opportunity.”

“How long are you going to be around?”

“I’ve only got a couple more hours, and then I have to get back to New Haven.”

“Why don’t you two go grab some lunch and catch up?” suggested Mr. Block.

I looked to Mr. Block, Woody, and Eric to make sure I had everyone’s approval. Mr. Block and Eric nodded their assent, and Woody suggested that I might want to put on some clothes before going out. Before racing off to the changing room, I hugged Mr. Block and Woody, which drew smiles of surprise from both of them and a chuckle from Eric.

“Oh, I’m glad you’re still here,” I said to Ward as I entered the changing room. “I wanted to thank you for guiding me through that gig, but when I saw my brother in the crowd, I just had to fly.”

“Your brother, eh?” he asked as he finished getting dressed. “From the way you were acting, I thought maybe he was your boyfriend.”

“No, I don’t have a boyfriend,” I replied, which drew slight nods and a little smile from Ward. “Are you going to be around for the rest of the show?” I asked.

“No,” said Ward, to my disappointment. “I was planning to stay with Dimitri at his uncle’s place, but since Dimitri didn’t come and I have no way of contacting his uncle, I guess I’ll have to go back to the city. I can’t really afford to stay in a hotel here.”

“But you can share my room,” I insisted. “I’ve got a king-size bed, and maybe you can give me a few more pointers on modeling.”

“That sounds like fun,” Ward perked up.

“Great!” I said. “I’m off to have lunch with Eric, but I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”

“I’ll be here,” he assured me as he zipped up his pants and headed for the exit. But then he turned around, came back to me, and planted a big fat sloppy kiss on my lips before finally taking his leave.

I found Eric assessing my sketches when I returned to the main area of the warehouse. “Amy told me you were very talented,” he remarked, “but I had no idea you were this good.”

“I hope I haven’t embarrassed you,” I said.

“No, of course not. Why the hell would you think that?”

“Well, not everybody appreciates erotic art, especially homoerotic art, and after the way Dad reacted—”

“I’m not Dad,” Eric snapped, a little more forcefully than I could have imagined. “Don’t get me wrong,” he added. “I love him dearly, but he can be a bit provincial in his thinking and hot headed, and the way he treated you is just downright shitty.”

I never felt closer to Eric than at that moment.

“But I am so proud of you…the way you have bounced back and made a life for yourself.”

“I’m still on probation with this job,” I cautioned.

“Bullshit! Mr. Block and Mr. Woodward…I guess you call him Woody…those guys fucking love you. They couldn’t stop praising you, not just for your artistic skills but for everything you do there. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they adopted you.”

I had thought I was doing well in the job, but the intensity of Eric’s report surprised me and left me just a bit speechless.

“Let’s finish this conversation over lunch,” Eric suggested. “I’m starving.”

“Me too,” I agreed.

Eric drove us to a nice restaurant not far from the warehouse. “Aaron suggested this place. It’s a bit pricy, but he says the food is good, and it’s quiet.”

I held up my “company” credit card and replied, “Lunch is on me.”

“Well, look at you, Mr. Bigshot,” he teased.

As we placed our orders and waited for our lunch to arrive, I probed Eric’s feelings about my modeling. “Are you sure you didn’t feel just a little uncomfortable seeing your brother modeling completely naked up on that stage?”

“Uncomfortable? No, not at all. I was proud. Hell, you were the hottest guy in that whole place.”

“Me? Not Ward?”

“He would run a close second, but every man there was aching to get into bed with you. Hell, if you weren’t my little brother, I would have jumped your bones myself.”

“Eric!”

“What? I said if you weren’t my little brother.”

“Yeah, but you’re not…. Wait. Are you trying to tell me that you’re gay too?”

“No I’m not gay. I’m bi.”

“So you have sex with men and women?”

“Not since I married Cindy. She’s bisexual too, by the way. We both had sex with people of either sex before we were married, sometimes together and sometimes separately, but when we got married, we took a vow of monogamy, and I’ve never had sex with anyone else since—male or female.”

“So you went straight when you got married?”

“When did you become gay, Joe?”

Scoffing, I replied, “I didn’t become gay. I’ve always been gay. I was born this way, and I will die this way.”

“Exactly. And I was born bisexual. Sexual orientation is not who you do. It’s who you are. And just because a man gets married, that doesn’t make him any less gay or less bisexual. It may change what he does, but it doesn’t change what he is.”

“I never thought of it that way.”

After our lunch, we ordered coffee and chatted for another hour before he took me back to the warehouse where the art show was being held.

“Joe, don’t let Dad hold you back. He’ll come around eventually. Just keep doing what you’re doing and being who you are. You are an exceptional young man, and I am so proud to call you my brother.”

It was all I could do to hold back my tears, so I just gave Eric a great big bear hug—with clothes on this time—and we agreed to keep in touch.

When I found Mr. Block inside, I offered him the receipt for lunch and told him I would reimburse him for the personal expense.

“Joe, did you discuss your job with your brother?”

“Yeah, some.”

“OK, then it’s a business expense. I’ll keep the receipt for the records, but you don’t owe me a thing. Did you two have a good chat?”

“Yeah, I’ll say. I’ve never felt closer to my brother.”

“That’s great. In that case, it was worth every penny you spent.”

I thanked him profusely and asked if there was anything he needed me to do. When he said no, I went to find Aaron to ask him the same question. “Will you want me to help you take down the platform after we close?”

“No,” he said, “I think we’ll just leave it up for the auction tomorrow.”

The auction. Wow! My sketches were going up for auction. Of course, if nobody bids, or if they bid too low, I might end up with less than $100, but that’s OK. I ever expected to make any money off of them anyway.

I decided to go back to the area where my sketches were on display and, seeing Ward up ahead, I started walking toward him when I was besieged once again by patrons who wanted to know all about my sketches and about me. I collected dozens more cards from artists who wanted to paint me and from individuals who wanted me to sketch them. And then, of course, there were the guys who just wanted to fuck me, but that was flattering too.

At closing time, I explained Ward’s predicament to Mr. Block and Woody and informed them that he would be staying with me for the night. “Woody and I will be having a late supper around 9:00. We won’t need your help for anything, but you and Ward are certainly welcome to join us.”

When Ward and I got to my room, I informed him of the invitation, and he replied, “Good, ‘cuz we’re both gonna be starving by the time I get through with you.” And with that, he tore my clothes off, threw me onto the bed, and picked up where he had left off in our modeling bit.

He pulled me to the edge of the bed with my head hanging over the edge and shoved his cock down my throat. I gagged several times, but I wasn’t complaining. He had a marvelous cock, and I loved every inch of it.

Ward was a talker. As he skull-fucked me, he grunted about how good his cock felt in my mouth and how I must enjoy having a real man-cock bruising my tonsils. After several minutes of this kind of foreplay, he dragged me back fully onto the bed, flipped me onto my stomach, shoved his big dick up my ass, and fell on top of me as he humped me doggie style. “You like my big dick, don’t you Joe? Sure you do. You fuckin’ love it.” He was pounding me so hard that all I could do was to grunt and moan in reply.

After about ten minutes of this position, he turned me 45 degrees and fucked me sideways. Then, ten minutes or so after that, he flipped me again in a different position. I’ve gotta give the guy this: he sure as hell had plenty of stamina. And he knew positions that I had never even heard of or seen in porn flicks. Damn, he was good!

But he saved the best for last. He flipped me on my back, lifted my legs over his shoulders, and fucked me missionary style, but as he did that, he pumped my own aching dick, saying things like, “Damn, you’re a good fuck, boy. I could fuck you all night.” (And he probably could too.) “You’ve got a nice dick too. It feels good in my hand. I wonder if it’s gonna feel as good in my ass later. God, I hope you’re not just shitting me. I really want my dick inside of you tonight. With that thought in my mind, I shot my load all over the headboard as well as my face and body.

“Damn, stud. You been saving up all month for me? Just for me? I’m flattered,” he laughed until his own orgasm took control of him. As he poured his man seed into me, all he could do was grunt, moan, and slam his dick deeper and deeper into my guts. He was definitely a power fucker.

Once we showered and got dressed, we made it down to the hotel lobby just in time to meet Mr. Block and Woody for dinner.

Seeing the satisfied grins on our faces, Woody quipped, “Damn, you don’t waste any time, do you, Joe?”

I had always treated Woody with deference, never wanting to crack that business-like façade of his, but this time, I just couldn’t resist the temptation.

“Oh, you’re just jealous, Woody.”

Caught off guard by my sudden brashness, Woody stiffened a bit, but Mr. Block just howled with laughter. “I think you may have met your match, Woody.” And he laughed even harder.

I’m back home ~ 💚

Against All Odds

Part 759

Leah

Leah had thought at length, before the anniversary celebration, how she and Robbie could spend some time alone. She missed him so much. Talking with him every night was wonderful, but it was in no way the same as having him actually in front of her. Many ideas had come to her and most had their flaws. She’d thought about how they could use their brothers as cover, to be able to show her places, such as their dorms, that she and Robbie walking into alone would be suspicious.

As much as Leah was ready to be public about being with Robbie, she did not want it to be amid rumors of her disappearing with him alone.

In the end she tossed aside all her ideas and decided she was a princess- crown princess in fact- and if she wanted Robbie to show her places like the boys dorm, then she would walk into those places with her head up, unashamed. And if someone had a problem with it, well, they could go to hell for all she cared.

Leah leaned into Robbie as they left the dining hall after lunch.

“Now what?” she whispered to him. Father had gone off to talk with the Darnells apparently. Mother, Francine and Alasdair were talking with Leonard and Scotty about a walk in the gardens. Robbie blushed slightly as she looked at him.

Leah’s heart began to race. Robbie looked so sweet as he tried to answer. She missed him so much when they were apart.

“Leah? Are you two joining us?”

The queen had turned around to look at them.

“Oh no. I think we’ll go take a better look at the art displays,” Leah replied.

Eleanor studied her daughter for a moment.

“Oh, go on,” the queen finally said. “I was young once too.” Robbie blushed harder, Leah noticed. “However,” Eleanor said firmly to Leah, “you will not take all of Robbie’s time. Francine and Alasdair would like to spend time with him too.”

“Of course Mother,” Leah smiled. “We’ll join you soon.” She laced her fingers with Robbie’s and they watched their families continue walking.

“How about somewhere private?” Leah whispered into Robbie’s ear.

“But- but- what if someone sees?”

“Let’em!” Leah said with a toss of her hair. “I��m an adult. I’m crown princess. I can make my own decisions. And right now I’m deciding to spend my time with you.” She grinned at Robbie. “So. Somewhere private? Your room?”

“O- o- ok,” Robbie got out. Leah was surprised his face could get anymore red.

“We’re going to get written about anyway,” Leah said as they began to walk, “might as well give them something juicy.”

Robbie stumbled next to her and stared.

“I’m joking sweetheart,” she reassured him. “But I’ve thought it through so many times. There just isn’t any way to get some time together without it being noticed. And really there shouldn’t be many people in the dorms right now anyways, right? Maybe we’ll get lucky and no one will see us slip away.”

Robbie nodded, and his normal color began to return. If his pace picked up a bit as they walked, Leah didn’t mention it.

“I know everyone already assumes,” Robbie said, “but I am proud to be with ye, and to get to be next to ye.”

It was a short walk and they passed very few others. Leah’s heart was racing again and her desire to have Robbie in her arms was growing steadily the closer they got to their destination.

Finally Robbie stopped at a door and began to open it. Before he was finished, Leah had her arms around his neck, crushing their lips together. They stumbled into the room, wrapped tightly around each other.

“Hi.”

Robbie pulled back instantly at the greeting, and began to blush again. Leah’s eyes widened as she caught her breath.

“Keenser! What— why are ye up here?” Robbie asked nervously, his voice pitched higher than normal in his embarrassment.

The short alien in front of them was staring back with black, shiny eyes. He held up something in his hand.

“Going now,” he said, and walked past them and put the door.

Robbie jumped to lock it when it closed behind his roommate. Leah sat down on the bed and began to laugh. After a moment Robbie joined her, laughing wildly as well. Leah wiped at her eyes.

“So, this isn’t quite how I pictured it from seeing just your bed on our calls,” she said as her laughter died away. She gestured around his room.

“Oh. Well—”

“No! I like it,” Leah told him quickly. “It’s nice.”

“I liked being alone,” Robbie said, “but it is nice having a roommate again.”

They sat in silence for a moment.

“Shall we try again?” Leah asked. She turned to face Robbie next to her.

Robbie didn’t answer. He raised a hand to cup Leah’s cheek and drew her towards him into a sweet kiss.

Part 760

Scotty

After Leonard had offered his arm to Francine, Scotty had done the same for Eleanor. The queen was smiling softly while she looked around the gardens.

"You know, I was part of the school band too, back then when I was here," she eventually said and Scotty's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ye were? Why did ye never tell before?"

At that, Eleanor just chuckled and shook her head. If Scotty wasn't imagining things, there was a blush on the queen's cheeks.

"Oh, I wasn't a good musician. Our teacher always said that I should leave the band, however, my parents insisted on me staying part of it. And since I didn't want to disappoint them, I pulled through."

Scotty's curiosity was awakened and he looked at Eleanor questioningly. There was still so much to learn about his mother-in-law to be.

"What did ye play?"

The queen sighed heavily, obviously remembering that part of her past.

"I... played the violin."

Scotty's mouth formed a silent 'oh' and he blinked in awe.

"It's a lovely instrument," he said and Eleanor just laughed.

"Played by someone talented, I bet it is. But not in my hands."

Scotty chuckled too, shaking his head. Somehow it was just so much easier for him to talk to Eleanor than to David.

"Oh, come on. I'm sure it wasn't *that* bad."

"But it was! Trust me. Maybe I can find an old recording of it somewhere and show you."

A smile crossed Scotty's face and he nodded.

"Aye, I'd really like to hear it."

"I have to warn you though, your ears might not survive it. I was the worst. Ariana was so much better than me."

Scotty tried his best not to frown when Eleanor mentioned Mrs. Darnell's name. A strange tingling went down his spine.

"Ye two... were already friends back then?"

The Scotsman got a nod for an answer.

"Best friends. I remember her playing the violin like a goddess. I never understood why she didn't choose a career as a musician. Maybe it was because her parents wanted something else for her. And she followed their orders."

Scotty felt his heart sank. The way the queen talked about Mrs. Darnell made it sound like she wasn't a bad person at all.

"I know that deep down she regrets that she didn't follow the path she wanted to take. That's why her ears are always open for talented people."

Scotty blinked a few times, trying to comprehend what Eleanor had said just now. Had he actually done Mrs. Darnell wrong? He couldn't help but feel bad for assuming the worst intentions. Was Ariana different from her daughter?

"Something wrong?" Leonard's voice interrupted them. In surprise, Scotty and Eleanor looked over at the prince and only then did they notice that they had fallen behind.

"Yes, of course," Eleanor called out and Scotty nodded slightly, muttering an 'aye'.

They quickly caught up to the others again and Scotty really hoped that David wasn't too hard on Mrs. Darnell.

Once they were back inside the building, Scotty quickly pulled Leonard aside. He needed to talk to him about what Eleanor had told him.

[jimimn]

Oh I'm sorry you had to go through that :( And I'm happy you were able to find something (or in this case someone) to be there for you ❤️❤️

OH I need to do that too!! Immediately googling how to add songs to Spotify 🧐

LMAOO yes I had the same thoughts cause set me free also had cursing and I was like ight how they gonna broadcast it on music shows but they are doing it, so? 😂 Maybe they bleeped the words, there aren't many after all 🤷‍♀️ Or they were also like Park Jimin can curse on a music show as a treat 😂

Oh oh oh and can we talk about the like crazy dance because????? I'm obsessed. His dancers were so BEAUTIFUL both the hybe and the late night show dancers. AND the way I saw people trying to say the woman in the mv wasn't representing him and fighting tooth and nail to prove that just for Jimin to have this dance LMAO he really said sike. Love that for him. I'm so in love with his dance between the male and female dancers and how he switches between them and how they pull and push him and and and IT'S JUST SO GOOD. My favorite is when the girls pull him towards them and then circle him and the first girl just kind of grips his chin (not really but the hand motion is similar to that) and turns it?? Idk why but I'm obsessed with that move. She really said bitch look at me, embrace yourself.

Also am I the only one who's kind of side eyeing everyone on twitter right now? Because everyone is saying "karmy we're exaggerating the dance wasn't even that sensual" and I'm like?? They didn't exaggerate though 😭 at least the translations I saw weren't like that.. Karmy did say the dancers touch him (chin, bicep, thigh etc) which they did, and that Jimin kind of warned them it would happen, but I don't think they exaggerated? Like they just told us what will happen. Or maybe I just didn't see those tweets lmao 😭 Idek why I'm bothered by this 😭 -🦋

thank you! 🥺 oh and the Spotify thing is really easy btw you just have to go to settings and switch on the local files option. then download the song and under your library on spotify, a playlist named "local files" will show up and you'll be able to see the song there. and then just normally like we do with songs, add the downloaded song on your normal playlists!!! it's a life saver 😭 i couldn't imagine going to YouTube every time i wanted to listen to letter 😭

LMFAO I think maybe jimin just won't sing the "fuck" during smf like hobi didn't on mama during arson. BUT!!! they should be allowed idc 😌

YESSSSSS please I'm obsessed with the like crazy choreo lord knows how many times I've watched both the Fallon performance and the dance practice video lmfao 😭😭😭 they did such a good job!!! whoever choreographed like crazy pls take a bow. BTS choreographies literally never disappoint they're just so good. And please, I've seen too many people invalidate the queer themes associated with like crazy. Like pls stop jimin just embarrassed you with the choreography. whoever denies it is just dumb atp like the woman is CLEARLY his reflection lmao 😭 I also saw homophobic armys attacking queer armys for saying that they related to the song like bffr art is subjective everyone has different stories and how they relate to the art they consume is none of your business 💀 AND OH YES THAT PART YOU MENTIONED PLS MY JAW DROPPED 😭😭😭 the entire choreo is just art i love it so much i can't fckin wait to watch more performances.

hmm about that i think it was a little bit of an overreaction though 😭 from what i saw. and i think it wasn't just because of karmys though it collectively blew up bc of engagement from both sides. I'm majorly side eyeing the people who are overcompensating saying things like "forget him i want her" just trying to prove a point which does not need to be proved like I'm sorry but you're coming off as equally obsessive as the people who are saying they are jealous lmao. like can we please be normal about this ffs 😭 but anyway. yeah. jimin keeps slaying that's what i care about 💅

[harley-michaels-main]

hello, i was wondering if you would possibly do a Jujutsu Kaisen Match up for me

I’m Ghost, I am Aquarius born, ISTP personality, and I’m panromantic with a male lean, with any pronouns.

im 5’5, shoulder length blonde, pale ivory skin tone, Grunge aesthetic and Green/hazel eyes, I have been told by a few of my friends that I look like a middle age man who either only drinks coffee or whiskey.

I have trust issues, I tend to be stand off-ish to people and prefer to be alone in dark and quite places, though I am open and happy around people I feel like I can trust, I’m a bit chaotic and tend to get out of hand when it comes to things I am passionate about, and I like to have deep meaningful conversations with people.

I like most parts of nature, like flowers, bugs, animals, and the sounds, I listen too Grunge, emo, rock, metal, and punk bands, I do a lot of art, i enjoy drawing plants and my ocs, In my free time I do art, I read, write, and watch anime, some of my favourites are Death parade, demon slayer, and skate the infinity, I play a lot of video games, like Resident evil(I love anything horror and gory), kingdom hearts, danganronpa, and legend of Zelda:Breath of the wild.

I hate jerks, bullies, people that are clingy and/or loud, I dislike red meats, I have Emetophobia and Trypanophobia, and I hate going out to public places like stores and restaurants for long perriods of type.

Extra Facts and Notes:

-I can lift a full grown man.

-my favorite flowers are orchids, mandevilla and daisies.

-my favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Fall out boy, Metallica, and Panic!at the disco

-I have a preference to people taller then me, or as i say "i like my men how i like my hoodies, tall and cuddly"

-hopeless romantics are also on that list

have a good day/night

Hi darling, I hope you're doing alright and the universe is treating you like the queen/king you deserve because I know for sure that your match up would.

Your Jujutsu Kaisen Match Up is...

Yuta Okkotsu

Not only does he fit the tall and cuddly type you're looking for, but he shares quite a few of the same interests as you.

He would definitely be the type to go on mature walks with you. To be able to get away from stress and to be with one of the people he cares the most about? I think yes.

He also likes to send you photos of weir plants whenever he travels and send them to you because they remind him of you.

While he isn't the type to enjoy sitting in the dark, Yuta will sit with you for as long as you'd like because he knows how you enjoy the peace and quiet.

He will also be the person to talk to you about deep conversations about the world and why the universe has such weird ways of showing signs.

However, he doesn't like to dive too deeply into these conversations because he knows how scary it can be sometimes. He doesn't want to be scared anymore, he simply wants to live a normal life with you.

Although there is one thing you two are at a crossroads and that is taste in music. He is definitely the type to listen to some lofi pop instead of the more hard sounding types of music.

Dont worry though he will always listen to your song recommendations at least once and there are a couple that he genuinely likes.

Oh, and lifting him up? Consider him a blushing mess. He loves that you're so strong but its somewhat embarrassing to have your much shorter S/O carry you.

Do be sure to pick him up as many times as possible. Maybe even squat him. Never skip leg day.

He is also the most romantic second year. He loves to plan little dates ror you two even if you arent able to get away for a long time.

Have half an hour between classes? You two are eating a snack in the garden. You two both happen to have a free day? Not anymore! Now you two are having a movie binge. You are only able to see each other in the hallway briefly? He's giving you a snack and a kiss on the forehead.

He also always tells you good morning and to have a good day, regardless if there was a fight the night before.

Yuta is the type of man who will try anything for you and will always be there to help you through your fears.

hi! i want u to know before i start that i mean this with all respect and i am genuinely asking a question (if u don’t wish to answer i completely understand!)

i saw ur post abt tickling being a special interest for u, which yea same, but i also saw that u said tickling is entirely non-kink for u. can i ask why u think of it like that? i’ve kinda acknowledged that while embarrassing, it’s still technically a kink (for me personally!) considering it gives me the same fluttery feelings ppl with other kinks describe. ig im just confused how this doesn’t ascribe to being a kink for u, even if u don’t use it in sexual contexts. i don’t usually use tickling sexually but i still consider it a kink for me.

i’ve just noticed a lot of people in the tickle community say that it’s not a kink and ig i just have a hard time wrapping my head around that and i’d like to understand more abt the ppl in my community.

if u answer, ty for responding! all love

HI anon!

Okay so for a lot of people its more on how you see it i guess. If we went into specifics then by some thought yes it is a Kink for me in a way, but i do not see it like that at all.

Kink by definition means- a person's unusual sexual preference.

I think this is where people get hella confused (at least for me). I use tickling as a complete I guess comfort tool. It helps me calm down when im upset, and genuinely makes me happy but not in a sexual way.

If we do a deep dive on it, Tickling causes serotonin; depending on said person being Tickled its a different amount of serotonin. Tickles can get a person off sexually but for some people it's more a comfort thing. I also look around and realize a lot of people who like Tickles as a comfort are on the Ace sexual spectrum.

So i guess when it comes down to it, it's how you use it and how you like it! If you like it as a kink you like it as a kink; if you like it as comfort you like it as comfort. Everybody is entitled to this, and do not think because you like it as a kink you're bad. Its just some people use it as a coping mechanism or a means of making them happy and don't want to be sexualized while doing it!

For me personally Tickling wasn't a huge part of my childhood (but was at the same time and we will get into it.) I never got it from family and it always weirdly upset me. I remember when I was 8-12 and getting a phone. I would search up how the brain responds to tickling and why it does. Then I found videos and art and it gave me that weird comfort i'v always wanted.

While it wasn't a huge part of my life it was. I never really had friends growing up and when i did they were pretty weird. I remember going over to one girls house and i would lay next to her watching her do something, when she got bored she'd ask to trace and tickle me on my stomach and being a good kid i always said yes. My old babysitter was a huge video game and anime person (love you victoria) And she would put on shows and anime's (mostly kid friendly) and every time a tickle scene came on i would freeze up embarrassed. I remember her chasing me around the house and tickling me a lot when she found out i liked it.

So for me i really don't consider it a kink. But again its completely okay if you do anon! Also i love when people ask me questions it wasn't weird at all!

We can get more into this in dm's or another ask if you need me too!

Capts Log No. 44_ Another Cycle Begins

HEY! If you actually read this. YOU THE SHIIIT. I been back and fourth up and through with SL, as most of us... there is an important motto my pops and I say " RL comes first"! i had to take a step back from things to recalibrate my energy and shift my boundaries. When you are someone who is pure hearted, and giving, that often gets mistaken for weakness. But not all strength is loud and boastful. Its one of the Laws of Power not to show your hand unless necessary. So I had to do just that. I have a swift hammer of justice that comes down and puts people back on their square.

I am not someone you can talk to any kind of way, & get away with it.

My spirit team doesnt play about me!

Taking a moment to give thanks to my old spot. It was def a vibe for that cycle of time. Now I just moved one plot down XD I love that this land is called "Ancien Monde" because i consider myself to be ancient soul , and that means Ancient world in french. Its really perfect spot for me it just vibes.

I put this together day before yesterday in like an hour it didnt take me long. I like that this process required the least amount of thinking I've probably ever done putting my place together. I think its just right. The most important item here is that eames chair. It is such a pivotal piece of furniture to my RL childhood, and its like having my dad with me. We made so many memories on that chair, sitting by the fireplace, reading books, looking at album art and reading each page front to back, playing board games, opening my first present on christmas eve. Did all that on the Eames chair. LOL.

Super grateful for my SL pops Ras Solaris and my brother Rajahn I am looking forward to spending more time with them and bonding. We all have a similar world view but we are also very different from each other. I love and respect that so much! Its very special to me how spirit brings people together so that we can learn and grow from one another. I am holding best intentions in heart for us moving forward! We're rebuilding Meroe together and its gunna be better than EVER!

Its a whole process, but I am so here for it. Step by step we will make Meroe's legacy long lasting. Sometimes I am exploring SL and I find old projects full of passion and knowledge that the person emptied into their parcel or region. I learn so much from these spaces, they are like time capsules of culture, wisdom, history. They are important not only to the landscape of SL but to the human psyche and to humanity, for everyone who finds it becomes transformed by the little seeds planted there. It ripples. This is what Meroe means to me too.

It has become a staple for the Afro Indigenous Black Communities of SL. To know that WE WERE HERE, WE ARE HERE, AND WE KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WHERE WE ARE GOING. Meroe is here as a beacon to remind us, and also as a center for us to build together. SL allows us the pleasure and privilege to meet with one another no matter what physical boarders divide us. That is extremely powerful! We have to take heed of this time and space we have been given! *steps off soap box*

I saw this place featured on Secondlife blogs and instantly was like, yes this is my spot these are my folks. its called Grab By The Horns GBTH. Very dope art and artsy fart minds.

https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/14329-second-life-spotlight-gbth/ <<< This that article

Go visit their new shit >>> http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/GBTH/146/113/53

The best part about discovering this place was when I realized that Marina is MARINAAA my commune friend from back in the day. I was so excited/happy and embarrassed when she messaged me like damn. I am not a good friend. LMAO. This is why I dont really have "people" or friends that I hang out with or a "crew" a "clique".

I just disappear a lot. I am not reliable. I know this about myself and I realize now that shit sucks because having people is fun. It makes life more enjoyable if you choose the right ones. Marina was def always "that girl" I remember her always having interesting ideas and sharing dope art with me, she showed me the artist Jasper Johns and we used to go to this gallery called Suntory time. Fun quirky art that makes you just feel good. Aesthetically pleasing shit. So during one of those cycles where I disappeared I lost her friendship fr. But it was really heartwarming for me to reconnect with her. I do not expect things just to bounce back and we be cool again. Its kinda like karma right now for me to be on the outside, and to see what unity looks like when you arent unreliable and aloof with your relationships. XD I am totally digging the lesson.

I showed up to this event , watched an incredible audiovisual performance by Cole Marie Soleil, wow it reminded me of my last weekend in RL where I went to this festival my friends who are experimental artists, musicians and filmmakers put on in the desert called "Digital Debris". I love how spirit intertwines my experiences and creates these packages of lessons for me to deal with every cycle. Haha its always so clear to me. The "themes". You have to unlearn to relearn.

I feel like this one art piece, being taken apart to be reassembled this moon cycle.

This is a thing that wants me to own it so bad. Some thing that found me and now I posses it. No further comment at this time XD

Here she is livin her best SLife Anyone who got a problem can KMA.
