What Can I Do? Your Eyes Became My HomeQue rant:

oKAY GUYS

There is this absolutley brilliant author who goes by SOFTAGUSTD on AO3 and is @phanadox on tumblr and I felt the tremendous need to reccommend you every single one of her stories.

Settle Down and Let Me Know If You’ll Stay // Taegi, Namjin, Jikook “I can grant you three, no wait it’s four. Four wishes! Just say the word!” “What?” Or the one where Taehyung is a genie who found himself in the company of a drunk with a wicked personality and can’t help but want to make him happy. (FREAKING AMAZING (although legit all of them are))

You Were Beautiful On A Sleepless Night // Yoonmin, Taekook, Namjin “So you’ve been eavesdropping on my conversations with my family?” “Yes, now, listen. About that rash you’ve been talking about, I looked it up and found some medicine.” “Fuck off!” Or the one where Yoongi can’t sleep so he goes out into his balcony to smoke and listen to the family upstairs talk. And the Park’s family doesn’t know how to shut their balcony door.

It’s Still Beautiful How You See the World // Jikook, Namjin, Taegi “Wait, you promised him that if he graduates from high school, you’d date him?” Or the one where Jungkook confesses to Jimin in middle school. Jimin thinks Jungkook is too young to know what “love” is so he promises to date Jungkook after he graduates from high school and starts college. Now that Jungkook has graduated from high school, Jimin starts to back out of their promise.

Weight of Playing with Fire // Yoonmin, Yoonseok, Vmin “He’s walking this way, grab my ass!” “But mine’s coming this way too, grab my hand!” Or the one where Yoongi and Jimin fake-date to make their unrequited love(s) jealous.

From Here and throughout the Night // Taekook, Yoonmin, Namjin “We were deceased!” “I think he means deceived.” Jungkook leaned into Taehyung, covering the microphone as he whispered into his ear. “I think you mean deceived.” “Ah, yes!” Taehyung nodded. “We were deceived!” Or the one where Taehyung’s father runs away from his company, leaving Taehyung in charge. And leaving Jungkook in charge of the company and Taehyung.

I Know It’s Over By Spring // Jikook, Yoonseok, Namjin The one where Jungkook has been using Jimin as a slave since elementary school. Then one day Jungkook gets into an accident and suffers from memory loss and instead of feeling bad, Jimin decides to take his revenge.

The Last Scene for Our Dream Night // Yoonmin, Taekook, Namjin “They said they’ll fix it in an hour, which means we’re going to be stuck here for that amount of time. Will that be enough time for you to stop crying or should we tell them to give us another hour?” Or the one where Yoongi is bad luck, Jimin is good luck, and they’re soulmates.

Days Are Numbered So Move On // Jikook, Namjin Vhope Jimin is a spy. Jungkook is training to be one. Hoseok trains the agents to have agility. Seokjin just wants to be Employee of the Month. Namjoon is the leader nobody asked for. Taehyung loves the kids books. And Yoongi is in the wrong occupation. Or the one where Jimin is stuck training the new spies because of his last mission and Jungkook insists on being a nuisance to Jimin.

I Write Songs About Your Stupid Anecdotes // Taegi, Namjin, Jikook Taehyung keeps singing Spanish songs while Yoongi is trying to tutor his students. Jimin keeps “forgetting” his keys at Jungkook’s apartment. Namjoon won’t forgive Seokjin and Hoseok is the glue of all these six idiots. Or the ‘listen i know we’ve been best friends for years but i’m trying to tell you that i’m in love with you so will you fucking stop singing spanish songs’ au that no one asked for. (The first one that I read, that had me hooked! It was freaking amazing, and it inspired some of my writing.)

At 4 O’clock, I’ll Stay // Vmin “I hate him so much, Yoongi, I’m thinking of saying he has rats in his stupid bar just to get rid of him!” “Well, what did he do?” “He said that I was the best soccer player and shouldn’t talk shit about myself!"Or the one where Taehyung goes to Jimin’s bar to talk bad about his latest soccer matches and Jimin waters down his drinks by "accident.”

The Art of Lost Stars // Yoonkook, Vmin “You were supposed to come five hours ago.” Jungkook sighed, handing Yoongi a couple bills. “I know, time got away from me.” “Away from you, my ass. You’re lucky I didn’t walk out on the kid.”“I’m sorry, thank you.” Yoongi scoffed, looking through the money. “Your kid is upstairs asleep,” he pocketed the money. “She kept asking where he dad was.” Jungkook licked his lips, wiping his palms on his pants. He never knew why he got so nervous around Yoongi. Maybe it was the tattoos spread all over his arms, the piercings on his lip and eyebrow, or the fact that Jungkook had the biggest boner in the world.

What Can I Do? Your Eyes Became My Home // Yoonmin “I don’t care if you’re cupid or the fucking Gingerbread Man, I’m not falling in love with that guy so stop shooting arrows at my ass!” Or the one where Jimin has the record for most successful Fallings and Yoongi is a centimetre away at ruining that record.

I haven’t tagged the two KNK fanfics but if you’re fans of them PLEASE GO READ THEY’RE AWESOME AS WELL

a compilation of my favorite pride & prejudice posts 😌

Honestly, I would love to fall in love. To wake up beside someone, to cook with someone, to buy groceries with someone, to love with someone, to kiss someone goodnight, to fall in love with someone, I want that.

I think I would love to remeber the dates we had, every kisses and hugs. Cuddles when we're sad, the proud feeling you have for them, the smiles you put on because of them. Remembering the dates of Anniversaries and birthdays, celebrating them with family, feeling really really happy your heart could burst when someone says you make a good match.

But if I just burden that someone with my insecurities, and hopelessness that I hide, maybe, I just won't fall in love.

Maybe crying myself to sleep, cooking for self, hiding the anxiety and self-loathing you have everytime you do groceries, telling yourself its a new day, and that you should do what you need to do. After all, hiding it all doesn't really matter, You don't really have to do grocery shopping because you dont eat.

Maybe, just maybe, if you don't eat, they're gonna stop judging you. Maybe if you stop being this worthless and start something productive, you'll be happy. But you also start to think that maybe the best kind of happiness is the kind that you're in a coffin.

You won't remember the anniversaries and birthdays, when will you celebrate them, if they're all gone. Who will you celebrate with? You don't have someone. You just want someone to understand. Someone who'll be there, to share the problems you both have. Someone who will cure you. Someone that will care for you. Someone who will worry for you. Someone that loves you.

Then I say,

Depression is my friend, always has been. After all, it's the only thing that hasn't left me.

You're a beautiful person, you're a person given to people. You're meant to do something. Meant to change someone, something, somewhere. You are someone somebody can trust. You are worth it.

If you're finding a sign to not give up, this is it. Message me.

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Phoenix Wright's best traps are the ones he knows the effectiveness of firsthand.

He knows that a bright-eyed young defense attorney with a burning desire to exonerate their client will take key evidence from a disarmingly innocuous-seeming girl in a cape. Kristoph Gavin taught him that, and Apollo Justice takes the bait.

He knows that, if you want to get evidence from someone or retrieve certain objects, the most effective way to do so is to get close. To be friends. To take meals together. Perhaps even to get them to fall for you. To make them think you're nothing but a helpless pretty face. Dahlia Hawthorne taught him that, and Kristoph Gavin takes the bait.

He knows that, if you don't have the evidence needed to convict someone obviously guilty, you're not out of options. Their crimes speak for themselves, and if they're made known in court, it's the court of public opinion who will deem them guilty, and the gavel has no choice but to follow. Mia Fey taught him that, and Kristoph Gavin takes the bait.

He knows that, when trusted family commits unspeakable crimes, only the light of the court can exorcise that darkness. Miles Edgeworth taught him that, and Klavier Gavin takes the bait.

A short story about Persephone’s myth that I wrote this summer.

imagine being stuck in a room surrounded by everyone you’ve ever had sex with

Important messages in Young Royals that I don’t want overlooked because two boys kiss:

- the difficulty of growing up with ADHD and aspbergers (or other diagnoses that affect you). the fact that you say too much, or too little, and come off as someone not like everyone else. the way kids/teens usually go through life just trying to convince themselves they DON’T want friends and don’t need them when all they want is to be liked and not have to change who they are. something that affects so many kids today and it is shown in such a real, good, honest way in this show

- girls supporting girls in everything. the fact that felice supports sara, that madison tells so many people off for being rude to her girls and also is one hundred percent right and supportive about how august treats felice and doesn’t want that for her girl. we need this and it’s refreshing to see it in such a nice way without any kind of drama to it just for drama’s sake

- GIRLS PLAYING SPORTS. most girls stop playing sports at the age of 14 which is a big, big problem imo. to see here that the one playing football and wanting support is rosh, and that people GIVE it to her and show how fun she’s having is absolutely also an important thing to show. it made me absolutely so happy to see this get attention and i think people overlook the importance of it

- politics when it comes to rich and poor. the way rich people are allowed to accept all kinds of money whereas if poor people get them it’s disgusting and they are awful for accepting money. that the royal family is the one family getting the most money out of all. 

- you are allowed to set boundaries for yourself. you are allowed to not want to be a secret, you are allowed to not wear a dress that your mother wants you to wear. you are allowed to dump someone even if it could give you opportunities.

- girls have a sexuality and it is OKAY and i love to see that girls talk about sex and hookups and all just as much as the guys (even if a different way) because let’s get rid of the way girls are never supposed to explore their sexuality, discuss it or want to let others know (or know about others experiences)

- parents and substance abuse and how it affects your family and the difficultiy of wanting maybe a relationship but knowing it could fuck up everything. the way kids have to deal with it when they should be the ones taken cared of

- that spreading nude videos, photos of any kind is A CRIME and should be treated as a crime and is absolutely never wrong of the one taking part of the video. they didn’t do anything wrong. august was the absolute asshole that should be charged with so many things. and that people were supportive and felt sorry for them was also the best.

Tips for New Genshin Players I wish I knew starting out!

1.) Every adventure has its end, take your time! There’s loads of stuff to do in this game and it can be easy when starting out to feel the need to steamroll through it all. Make it last! With the exception of time limited events there’s no reason to rush through it all in a few months. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re AR50+ and still have things to do outside of events/abyss.

2.) This is a gacha game first, and a PVE game second. While I firmly stand by the belief this game can be played 100% for free, it is designed to make you want to spend your money on it. If you are someone who struggles with impulse control or gambling addiction, I strongly caution you to be careful with this game. Know your spending limits and don’t let FOMO of a certain character or weapon convince you to make any risky financial decisions. Every character in this game is viable, including the free ones given at the start!

3.) You get 180 resin per day which caps at 160. Don’t waste your resin early game on artifacts because you’ll end up replacing them anyway. Instead, use your resin on exp materials, mora, talent and ascension materials. You’ll thank yourself later!

Do not get baited into using your fragile resin early on. Wait until you’re at least World Level 7 (AR45) before using this to get the most out of it!

4.) Level up your talents! Go to character profile > talents > level up. Most DPS characters you’ll want to prioritize Normal Attacks first, then Skill and Burst depending which one you use more. Support Characters will typically prioritize Burst and Skill over auto attacks. These are just general assumptions, every character is different so be sure to read through all of their talents to get a feel for how they work as a unit. (Ex: Yae Miko is a DPS but her damage is focused on skill and burst, not her normal attacks.)

5.) Know how wishes work! Intertwined Fates can be used on the Limited-Time Character & Weapon Banners, while Acquaint Fates can be used on the Permanent banner.

On all banners you are guaranteed at least one 4⭐️ every 10 wishes, and one 5⭐️ every 90 wishes. Soft pity for 5⭐️ starts around 70 pulls, meaning the odds are slightly higher. Use this to your advantage if there’s a character you’re saving for! You can check how many wishes you’ve made by looking at History on the respective banner’s main menu.

6.) More on wishes: The Standard and Weapon banners are a trap! Especially if you’re f2p, you should never use your primogems on these banners! The character rate up banner is much more valuable because it has a guarantee system in place.

If you do not pull the featured limited character on your first 5 star pull, you are guaranteed to get the limited character next time you pull a 5 star. This guarantee carries over to future rate ups as well, meaning if you pulled Qiqi on Venti’s banner, you can save for another limited character you like to get a rate up and get them guaranteed later on.

Because it’s a 50/50 chance and you cannot pull 5⭐️ weapons on the character banner, this is also the best way to get the non limited 5⭐️ characters Diluc, Jean, Keqing, Qiqi, and Mona.

The weapon and standard banners do not have a guarantee like this. You can pull and pull and pull and never get the character or weapon you’re looking for. By all means, use the free Acquaint Fates you get in game to wish on the standard banner, but never use your primos on standard banner! As for the weapon banner, I recommend you only pull on this banner if you (1) Are okay with pulling literally any 5⭐️ weapon, and (2) already have a good roster of 5 ⭐️ characters you like. Characters > Weapons all the way!

Edit: the weapon banner now has epitomized path, which lets you select which weapon you prefer. This is more for whales and dolphin players though, since it takes two failed 5⭐️ pulls (~240 wishes) to guarantee the weapon you selected. I strongly caution wishing here unless you have a good roster of characters, and again, are okay with pulling literally any 5⭐️ weapon.

7.) Use your resources wisely! Especially early game when you have so few characters it can be tempting to level them all up. Wait until you have a few characters that you really like first, and prioritize your main DPS unit over everyone else. Save your low level artifacts to use as fodder later on!

8.) Artifacts. Welcome to pain. As mentioned in number 1, do not waste your time farming artifacts until you’re AR45+. This is because before that world level you aren’t guaranteed 5⭐️ artifacts on your runs, which means they will end being replaced anyway once you do obtain 5⭐️ artifacts. I also do not recommend using your fragile resin on artifacts. They are way too RNG based you’re much better off using fragile resin to farm Leylines and Weapon/Talent ascension materials because you’re guaranteed to be get good drops and you’ll always need these types of items.

9.) Be careful playing with randoms in Co-Op. As a rule, I typically keep Co-Op turned off unless I’m playing with friends. Once you let someone in your world they can pretty much do anything aside from open your chests. Not the end of the world, but can be really crappy if they steal all the Cecilias or Wolfhooks you needed to build certain characters.

10.) BE AWARE OF SCAMMERS/HACKERS!

If miHoYo ever gives anything for free it will be through the game or an online event accessible through the game. I feel like this should be a little obvious, but there is a considerable amount of account theft/trading within the community so I’m making a point of it. Do not under any circumstances share your login information with anyone else. I also recommend using a unique email and password that is unshared with any other database, especially social media like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc (this is standard account safety). At the very least use a unique password and DO NOT fall for scam ads that say they give you free primogems. Again, miHoYo is giving anything for free it’s going to be in game.

11.) Once you can craft it, Condensed Resin is a huge time saver! It basically halves the time it takes to farm materials since it essentially lets you do two runs at once. The domain of Guyun, Windrise, and Dawn Winery are all great locations to farm Crystal flies!

12.) If you want to spend money without gambling, Welkin and BP are fantastic options that only cost $15 together for one month. Welkin alone is a great value for $5 and BP provides a shit ton of extra materials, resin, wishes, and really nice 4⭐️ weapons! Really great options if you want a little more out of the game without whaling 🐳

I think that about covers it all. If anyone else has tips definitely reblog and include them!
