❝ very well , harlowe. ❞ she chuckles at the other's demeanor ; not unlike that of a certain raving old woman who was passionate about her craft , insisted she was younger than she actually was , and for shao to not be so formal with her. hm. she follows along , acutely aware that this wasn't unlike the various traps she'd been ' led ' into over the years ( though less recent ).
but the studio itself is normal. messy , too - which was hardly unexpected - but normal. not a trap or sniper in sight. ❝ is that what art students talk about ? interesting ... but i don't think i'm that outstanding that it warrants discussion. but don't mention it ; you're lucky that i have time today. otherwise , you'd be forced to jump someone else~. ❞ the idea of someone else running away from harlowe's enthusiasm or insulting her was a little funny , to be honest ...
Tumblr media
❝ also , are all artists this unorganized ? you'd think you'd want your tools to be nice and ready for the moment to strike. ❞ she plops herself down on some couch. ❝ moment of inspiration , that is. ❞
Tumblr media
"Hehehe, oh Shao please call me Harlow or Har. No need to use miss for little ole' me!" As for her request that was one that could be easily catered too. Though she could, at times, get a bit wild with her posing positions she was always mindful of the person she was working with. Never did she want to put them into something they were uncomfortable with nor one that they couldn't hold. "Well then without further ado shall we be off?"
The walk to the studio was far from a long one. Only a ten minute ( give or take ) one from where they had been.
"Make yourself comfy! I'm going to grab out everything I'll need to get started." With that she fluttered about the room, grabbing items out drawers that had no apparent organization. "My class is going to be sooo jealous when they see you. I bet everyone is going to ask how I nailed myself such a good muse. You really saved my butt, you know that? Thanks for humoring me and my random request. It means a lot!"

reblogging from source with xkit rewritten!
hey friends!! okay, so i can't believe it took me this long to figure out how to do this, but thanks to the new xkit rewritten extension, we can bring back easily reblogging from the source! the newest update is kind of a pain for a lot of people, and it was much easier to just click on the username of the source where someone reblogged a post from. but thankfully, we can bring it back!!
i'm not the greatest at giving tutorials, but because i think this is important for a lot of us roleplayers, especially those who like reblogging things from their respective sources for whatever reason, and also generally for the majority of us who became frustrated with the new update. so, here's an attempt at teaching all y'all lovely people how to get your dash back to the way you liked it!! with that being said, it is greatly appreciated if this post is reblogged so as many people as possible see this tip!
TUTORIAL.
( skip to step 3 if you already have xkit rewritten installed. )
STEP 1. first, download xkit rewritten from tumblr's new xkit github page. right now it only works with chrome and firefox. instructions are under the "installation" section (you may have to scroll down a bit).
Tumblr media
STEP 2. once you install the extension, click on the xkit icon at the top of your browser. it should look like a small purple box with a white "x".
Tumblr media
STEP 3. under the "configuration" tab at the top of the pop-up, scroll down to the "tweaks" option. it should have a yellow icon with a gear and is (probably) the third option from the bottom.
Tumblr media
STEP 4. the "tweaks" option should be marked as "disabled", especially if you are using the new xkit for the first time or if you haven't seen this extension before. click the slider on the right side of the pop-up to turn the extension on.
Tumblr media
STEP 5. once you toggle the extension on, a drop-down menu should appear under the extension label. you can also toggle this menu by clicking on the extension label. click on "restore links to individual posts in the post header", which should be the first option in the drop-down menu.
Tumblr media
STEP 6. and that's it! you should now be able to click on the url next to another url and it should bring up the source that that person reblogged from. you may need to close the tumblr tab or restart your browser for the extension to take effect.
and that's it! i hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it was helpful! if you have any questions, suggestions, or reservations, do not hesitate to reach out! please remember to reblog to spread this information! <3

❝ meh. it would be like eating pasta with sugar. that actually might taste good , speaking of ... like some sort of stringy , uncooked pastry. ❞ part of her was actually considering it , but most of her was just messing with luna. she would eat either , though.
Tumblr media
❝ also , i'm pretty sure making ketchup into pasta sauce technically counts. i think they do something like that in japan , and i think i heard that in sweden they just put ketchup on their pasta like it's a regular occurrence ! though they put it everything they can there , i think. so it's not some dark age-old trick~. ❞
"Is it really, when you're human and already have a limited lifespan as it is?" She wasn't really trying to argue for humanity; she was just playing devil's advocate for the sake of conjecture.
But then, Shao just had to say the one thing throughout whole this conversation that really made her blood boil.
Tumblr media
"Shao. Shao. I can't even begin to explain just how wrong you are." She paused, sighing arduously through grit teeth. "Ketchup is a backwards invention that has nothing to do with Italian cuisine. Just because there's a tomato on the bottle doesn't mean you can dump it on a plate of pasta and expect everything to taste the same. It's just... it's barbaric is what it is!"

❝ of course i did. your thoughts are very pointed the longer you let them stew in that head of yours , you know. ❞ that included the more unhinged ones ; though she was certain sasha thought those in her direction on purpose - knowing she'd hear.
but oda's newfound protective nature made her smile as she was told , humming to herself as she pondered the wolf cub's behaviour. he was very well-behaved and mature for his age ; so while it could be the fact that he wanted to have a younger-in-quotation-marks sibling to dote on , it could also be the fact that he had a playmate other than his father or adopted mother - and ' closer ' in age , if not mentality , as well.
Tumblr media
❝ a family outing is nice and all ; but when are you going to go out with just you and i in the woods again ? i hope you're thinking of plans for that , as well~. ❞
Tumblr media
ah, yes. the wife only ever knows the husband better than he does himself. the question was meant with a mutual sincerity-- pondering on if she and the rest of their little family would like to take a detour in life.
' seems you've seen my hand before i could play it, my love. leave him behind? not in the slightest. ' a shake of his head. kai had become just as much his son as he was shao's. ' besides. . . oda has donned something of a protective hold over him. makes me wonder if he's always wanted to be an older brother. ' older in. . . well, barest of terms. not that the younger wolf was much aware of that fact.
' i believe a family outing is in order, if only for a day or two. '

"ivan-!" he screeches as he darts left and right. "WHAT THE FUCK? HOW YA GON' PUT ME IN THIS POSITION?!" ivan merely chuckles. he doesn't need to see to know exactly what shao's doing to the poor kid. "miss shao, teach him well. he's more durable than myself so feel free to go harder. he can handle it."
❝ oh , how interesting. you're quick fast ! but , i mean , i'm not trying to kill you. i'm always so fair to potential students~. ❞ not trying to kill him ? well , she wasn't lying , but there were far too many close calls with the sharp end of some spear for it to be merely coincidental that she wasn't aiming properly.
❝ also , you're very loud. it makes it all the easier to find you - and steer you into a trap. ❞ as if on cue , the sound of wind snapping echoes underneath darren's feet , and within seconds , he's tied up like wild game in a fishnet ; one that's hanging from the ceiling , that is. and far too tight to be a mere learning trap.
Tumblr media
❝ part of success is accepting what happens when you fail. so , you have to find the most efficent way to get out of that trap - made of chains , naturally - so that you don't expend your energy ! because when you get down , you'll be running again. do i make myself clear~? ❞
what a horrible , terrifying teacher.

❝ ... seriously ... ❞ shao rubs the bridge of her nose , but she doesn't really sound annoyed. part of her almost wants to joke ' oh , so you're paying me so handsomely - are you sure you don't want anything extra~? ' , but she's not entirely sure the other would react to that well , or at all. so , all mischievousness aside , she has to wonder about the girl's naivete. giving her full name to someone she just met , no matter the business , seemed like a safety hazard at best and a bad case of insurance fraud at the front end of the worst. not that she had any interest in that.
but if it was just for a day ... meh. fan and her guards wouldn't bother her if she took time out of her schedule to be silly for a human for just one day.
Tumblr media
❝ fine. if it's a day , i can oblige , ms. avery. my name is shao. a pleasure to make your acquaintance - even if it's only temporary~. just don't make me sit in some weird pose for twelve hours ; that's all i ask. ❞
Tumblr media
"I mean you're as pretty as one, and not the normal kind. I mean the ones who look real and not super skinny. Your muscles are so defined I can even make out their lines through your clothing. Not to be weird. It's just something I notice on people!" She'd always been weak to such things to begin with. It made sense she would spot them a mile away. Sniff them out like some muscle bloodhound. "It's for my class yes! We were told to pick someone and draw them in the pose of whatever old Greek sculpture we want and you'd be perfect. Also I was thinking twenty-five an hour plus food! I doubt it'll take more than a day if that's okay with you. Ah! How rude of me. I'm Harlow Avery by the way! What's your name, miss?"

❝ eve didn't deserve to be created , honestly. if that god wanted men to jack themselves this much , he should've known no one does it better than another man. poor girl , getting the blame for something that was probably premeditated to happen. ah , well. humans would be better than the worst - if they weren't prone to open infighting all the fucking time. same with demons ; which is why they're only one slot higher than them. ❞ she shrugs , kicking her feet as she climbs to perch on some high spot. gotta pretend for any human watchers , after all.
Tumblr media
❝ hmmm ; word travels fast , and all that. i don't know whether i should be wary or not , at this rate. ❞ a huff escape , but it's clearly still somewhat light-hearted in nature. ❝ they can eat the stars , yes. it's the closest thing they'll get to my energy when they're so far away from home. hopefully he'll grow up soon , though. the sooner i have him train his powers , the better. ❞
Tumblr media
"That they are. God could be a bold manner of body and ideas both solid an' incorporeal β€” but yet they choose to sculpt from themselves. No breakin' the mold. Then again, they say the Lord made Adam from fuckin' dirt and Eve from his rib. Pretty fucked up you ask me, Eve didn't deserve that. Adam should have been the rib. 'Bout the only thing I liked from the Bible, big book of mostly fiction as it were, was the idea of 'biblically accurate angels'. Now that's something I can get behind and am familiar with." Only because some of his own kind preferred to push the limits of their forms. He only looked human at the moment because of an adaption to fit in easily, he assumed the same of her. He sucks his teeth at Shao's words, humored and snaggletoothed. "They are good at that at least."
Tumblr media
Sliske is, however, taken a little aback before grinning, "Insultin'? Hah, I don't give too much of a damn about 'em. They go both ways like most species β€” either need a shove to get them going mentally, or languish in a barely cognizant pile of organs with not enough spark. Ain't the worst species I've seen." His eyes shine a bit brighter and he let out a soft, sardonic chuckle.
"Heard you got a kid. How's that goin'? It already eatin' stars an' shit like you?"

"Shao... please... as a friend... send him on a trip, something, ANYTHING... give me a weekend, I'm begging you-"
❝ i can't promise you that. you do know we can teleport in seconds to any country , talkless of slipping between realms. if you think work is going keep him off your ass , literally , think again. he's from the zhou clan for a reason. very efficient one , he certainly is. ❞ shao sighs , shaking her head with some sort of macabre-jovialness. oh , poor myles.
Tumblr media
❝ you're just going to have to stock up on things. like that home alone guy ! and then also pick a god and pray. and be ready to scream that god's name when fan gets his hands on you~. ❞

❝ wasting time is good sometimes. but i think it's mostly just for those few seconds or minutes of internet funny points or something like that. i don't think the majority of them really take it that seriously. but then it tends to turn into ' who can make or say the most outrageous thing ? ' then it either goes well or horrible from there. ❞
Tumblr media
❝ but i mean , isn't the pasta one just accurate ? it's basically tomato sauce with sugar in it. still works. the grimace shake one was funny , too. most creative one i've seen in a while , to be honest~. ❞
"So, it's just another way for humans to waste time? Pah. Typical." She rolled her eyes, lackadaisically breathing out through her nose. But then again, if that was all there was to it, why did the concept still seem lost on her? Sure, it was another way for humans to waste time and become more and more self-absorbed, developing all sorts of complexes and delusions attributed to their egos...
If that's all there was to it, then why were humans making accounts for their cats and dogs? Why were they cooking things that looked they crawled up from the depths of Hell? Why?
Tumblr media
"From what little I've seen, I would say most of it is cursed. I think I'm in a uniquely qualified position to be saying that, because some of those videos are just... ugh. I shudder to think of whoever came up with squirting ketchup into perfectly good pasta, and passed it off as a meal. So many lives are ruined by misconceptions like that..."

Tumblr media
❝ it's a site for videos that typically aren't over five minutes long because humans tend to gain shorter attention spans as time passes. sometimes there are funny things , sometimes there are cursed things , and sometimes there are depressing things. as tend to be so in human society. oh , and there are animals. many cute animals. ❞
