I have wandered off and written a KPop Demon Hunters fic with @leomonae!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

(Plz mind the tags)

(Also this fic is archive locked)

[leomonae]

(the aforementioned tags, and also summary etc! more tags to be added as we go)

(there's about 60k done so far, which is... most of the first three chapters lol)

(those other four demons were badly in need of some actual characterisation and development, man, it takes a lot of words)

(also yes you read that right we have indeed committed omegaverse)

(also also we both started learning korean at some point in all this, so that's fun)

(huntrix will be in the next fic this is pre-canon the girls are still centuries off being born. rumi's dad will show up in this one later on tho)

“I’ll take the rest,” Dae-sung said, rising. “Just sing.” That, too, was a kindness, Jinu knew, though it hardly felt like one. How many people would be ensnared, as that man was? How many was he about to lure to their deaths? But it was a kindness, nonetheless. “Thank you,” Jinu said lowly. “I’ll do — more, next time. I just need…” Jinu trailed off. More time. What a laughable thought. He didn’t think he would ever be able to inure himself to this. “It’s good that it bothers you,” Dae-sung said. “It'll keep you from losing yourself.” Jinu tore his eyes away from the man’s body. Dae-sung stood quietly beside it, still looking at Jinu. He didn't give the corpse between them so much as a glance; like he'd drawn all thoughts of the man from his mind and tossed them aside, just as easily as the man's soul had been drawn from his body. “Does it bother you?” Dae-sung’s gaze flickered. He didn’t respond; simply led the way down to the village.

Trust is hard-won, in the underworld. But it can be built.

as an archivist I am begging you

put dates on everything

don’t believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if it’s really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out

name your files accurately I know it sucks but please

don’t destroy the original just bc you scanned it

rubber cement is the devil’s adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit

you will NOT remember write it down

if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you

your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!

[vulcandroid]

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

[roachpatrol]

Humanity’s first contact with Vulcans was some guy going “I’m down to fuck.”

Vulcans’ first contact with Humans was an emphatic “Sure.”

[lilian-cho]

@sineala

[star-lord]

#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan

[moonsofavalon]

“sir…these…these humans…they greet each other by…” *glances around before furtively whispering* “by clasping hands…”

*prolonged silence* “oh my…”

“sir…sir how will we make first contact with them? surely we…we cannot refuse this handclasping ritual, they will take it as an insult, but what vulcan would agree to such a distasteful and uncomfortable ritual??”

*several pensive moments later* “contact the vulcan high command and tell them to send us kuvak. i once saw that crazy son of a bitch arm wrestle a klingon, he’ll put his hands on anything”

[evilminji]

Elsewhere, w/ kuvak: “….my day has come.”

[lierdumoa]

The vulcan who made first contact with humans is named Solkar guys. Y’all just be makin’ up names for characters that already have names.

Bonus: here’s a screencap of Solkar doing the “my body is ready” pose right before he shakes Zefram Cochrane’s hand:

[adreadfulidea-deactivated202402]

I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they are “distant xenophobes” or “horny on main for humanity”. Also apparently this guy is Spock’s great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.

[kaijuerotica]

Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkar’s descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so I’m not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkar’s descendants and humans, but I’m also not….not….saying that.

[tanukiham]

actual footage of first contact makeouts

[saucefactory-deactivated2019103]

The slow deliberation with which Solkar takes Cockrane’s–I’m sorry, Cochrane’s–hand… The sheer sensuality witch which Solkar infuses an otherwise borderline impersonal social ritual… It clearly shows a very conscious knowledge, on Solkar’s part, of what the significance of the handshake is in Vulcan terms and of how affected he is by it.

That’s why he’s so slow in doing it, and so sensual. A part of Solkar can’t believe this is happening, despite it being a perfectly logical thing to expect from a human, and the rest of him can’t believe how good it is.

I bet that if the camera zoomed in any further we would see the dilation of Solkar’s pupils and a quickly-repressed shiver of delight. Cochrane’s firm, businesslike clasp is probably (in sexual terms) being perceived as a deliciously carnal display of dominance.

No wonder Solkar is all like, “TAKE ME, YOU WILD-MANNERED BARBARIAN WITH ENTICINGLY ROUGH CALLUSES.”

And so we find out that yes, there is such a thing as bottoming in Pon-farr.

Every time this post comes round my dash, it just gets better.

[gallifreyanwriter]

#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew it (via kittykatthetacodemon)

[hazeldomain]

Some Vulcan: we could probably just explain that handshakes are intimate in our culture

Solkar, rubbing lip gloss on his hand: don’t tell me how to do my job 

[dirhwangdaseul-archived]

This is my favourite Star Trek post, complete with headcanons, corrections, the truth coming out of her well to shame Spock even. Seriously perfect fandom work.

[silvergryphonart]

They could have explained none of it and responded to the offered hand with a polite bow. First contact was gonna be with the guy who proved they were technologically ready for it but any human aware of Japan and China would recognise that

[crazy-pages]

Solkar: “No we have to absolutely minimize any chance of confusion,” he says, while rubbing lotion into his hand and staring off into the distance.

[sabertoothwalrus]

I hate the videoification of everything. If I have to hear one more video of someone speaking closely into their shitty mic and I have to have all their yucky wet mouth noises and plosives and nose whistles and throat clearings and sniffles I am going to dig a vertical hole the exact dimensions of my body and I’m going to slither in head first

[redstonedust]

i had you blocked the entire time i've been here and i don't even remember why. so hello. you gained 1 fan for reasons beyond anyone's comprehension

i hope with time and effort i can re-earn your block. god bless.

im glad the team that does the subtitles are having a good time

[does-this-look-inanimate-to-you]

some additions

[blackness-by-your-side]

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[cuntybearjamboree]

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

[ruffboi-mags]

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.

Myth: "I only wear vegan fabrics. Better for the animals, better for the planet." Let's check in on Doris's annual contribution. Once a year, in late spring, Doris is sheared. The procedure takes approximately three minutes. Doris does not enjoy it. Doris does not, by any visible measure, suffer from it. Doris is, immediately afterwards, a noticeably more comfortable animal in the British summer. The fleece weighs approximately 3 kilograms. It is sold to the British Wool Marketing Board for, depending on the year, between £0.40 and £2.50 per kilogram. The shearing costs more than the wool fetches. Brian is shearing Doris at a loss. The wool is then: - Naturally flame-retardant - Naturally antibacterial - Moisture-wicking - Biodegradable - Renewable, annually - Carbon-storing while in use The replacement, in performance fabrics: - Polyester - Polyamide - Acrylic - Polypropylene - All petroleum-derived - All shedding microplastics on every wash - All requiring fossil fuel inputs to produce - All non-biodegradable, with a typical landfill lifespan of 200-500 years A single wash of a polyester fleece can release up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into the water system. These fibres are now in: every tested water source on earth, every tested human placenta, every tested rainfall sample, the deep ocean, the Arctic ice, and the lungs of marine mammals. A single wash of a wool jumper releases: nothing. The wool, when eventually disposed of, returns to soil within a few years. The fabric being marketed as the "ethical" alternative to wool is plastic. The plastic is "ethical" because nobody has been asked to slaughter the polymer. The polymer also has not been asked. Doris, by being a sheep on a fell, is producing the most thoroughly sustainable performance fabric humans have ever made. Brian is selling it at a loss. The fashion industry, meanwhile, is selling petroleum at a profit and calling it ethical. Reject plastic. Wear wool. Doris is, this morning, growing next year's batch.

Note: if you're allergic to wool, you might be allergic to the dyes and fine with undyed wool. Maybe not, but it's worth a try.

[tlaquetzqui]

Note, however, that the only really bad polymer fibers are the acrylic ones; polyester is basically wax, and although nylon is toxic if burned it also recycles really well.

[riebeckite]

"polyester is basically wax"

ding dong you're wrong.

normal clothing polyester is polyethylene terephthalate, aka PET or PETE: the plastic soda bottles are made of. thats why there's clothing made from recycled bottles because its chemically the exact same plastic just remelted and blow-spun into fibers. which are the microplastics that get shed during normal wear and washing and drying.

[lermisv4]

Also, we can make a very similar argument for leather versus pleather. Pleather may be "vegan" but it's literally just plastic - increasingly cheaper and lower quality plastic, the stuff I found ten years ago is by far superior to the stuff on the stores nowadays. The more you wear them the more edges keep fraying and falling apart in tiny chunks - microplastics. They're clothes with an expiration date.

Meanwhile leather gets produced as part of the food industry (the alternative is throwing it away), it naturally waterproof, tearproof, windproof, gets softer and more comfortable over time. requires zero maintainance, and WILL last for decades with daily wear. It's the kind of purchase you only need to make once.

Which is friendlier to the environment again?

[transgenderer]

its kind of sad that bugs are so weak. it dishonors their noble biology. i guess this is is why crustaceans are so admirable. imagine for a moment, an unsquishable bug. such is the way of the crab

[unique-ones-enlightened]

[thesylverlining]

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

[quantum-jump]

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

[paramourblessings]

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

[autisticcaleb]

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.

[foxglovedforest]

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve seen people try to talk about Protestant guilt or whatever but the problem with trying to define that is “Protestant” is just kind of a bag filled with vaguely non Catholic blobs and some of them are sort of Catholic anyways

[what-even-is-thiss]

I saw someone saying that Protestant guilt is feeling bad for feeling pleasure and I was like what in the Calvinist puritan nonsense are you talking about I have never once felt bad about pleasure as long as it’s not hurting anyone. If God didn’t want me to enjoy life then why make life so enjoyable?

[what-even-is-thiss]

I don’t think that everyone should try to be an expert on types of Christianity or whatever like that would be rediculous but it’s pretty clear sometimes when someone’s entire understanding of the religion comes from the fact that they met a conservative Baptist once or something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah. Protestant is just like churches that spun off of Catholicism at some point in the past. We’ve had 500 years of infighting to form separate ideologies since then.

How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.

[spoonoftar]

👆 THIS 👆 👏👏👏

[the-real-gingakid]

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

[skyhon]

This reminded me of this

[what-even-is-thiss]

As a Wesleyan, sometimes the only way I can handle the things people say about "all Protestants" is by intentionally narrowing the definition. You're not a Protestant unless your church traces a direct line back to the Protestant Reformation. ...but then at least half of the things people say about "all Protestants" is true of Calvinists but not Lutherans.

As a Lutheran, yeah. Again, I’ve seen a lot of people assume that Protestants don’t drink. I used to go to Bible study group at a bar sometimes.
