dani darling dearest:33 ♥️ congratulations on 100 stories, that is no small feat eeep ! ! ! im so grateful to have met such a kind, down-to-earth, warm, talented individual on this platform. i wont get too emotional.. this is a celebration, after all. sigh
but id love to hear your headcanon about art from the second list, #13. how do you think he feels about physical contact from others? does it depend on who it is? what kind of contact it is? is he sometimes weird about hugs? hmm
Sage!!! My lovely <33 You’re so sweet and talented and you have such a big… brain i just have to press my lips against it muah muah! In all seriousness, i thank you and appreciate your kindness. You’re such an inspiration and not just because of your talent but because you’re genuinely such a kind and warm person. So grateful you chose challengersblr as the place to share your talents 💙
13 ) How do they feel about physical contact by others?
For Art, I think it took some getting used to. In my head his parents aren’t very touchy, not with their kids, or even with each other. He doesn’t think he’s ever even witnessed them kiss each other.
Before he got to MRTA the only person he knew who was physically affectionate with him was his grandma. Always there to greet him with a hug or to gently rub his back at bedtime as he drifted off to her soft voice reading him a chapter of Lord of the Rings but even she wasn’t too over the top. Not because she didn’t love him but because of how they were all raised to be more formal and cool.
Patrick’s need to put his hands all over Art was like a shock to his system. And maybe Art was a little touch starved because after the initial strangeness, Art finds himself quite liking it… even craving it. And soon he doesn’t even flinch when Patrick pulls him close enough that their lips, mouths, heads almost touch as they’re talking.
I think even though it becomes normal with Patrick he still has to go through a period of getting comfortable with each new person that touches him. He gets tense when its someone unfamiliar. He needs time to acclimate regardless of if its friendly or intimate contact. But when he does eventually relax he loves when you brush your fingers along the nape of his neck, rub soothing circles along his back. Loves the presence of your head resting on his shoulder or the way you hold his hand and press a kiss on the back of his palm.
He loves the feel of your hands in his hair. Likes to gently nibble on your arm. Curl up with you in bed tangled up, the warm heat at the places your bodies meet, arms to back, thigh to thigh. Face to face. Its like he’s learning all kinds of new ways to say “i love you.”

10 questions for me
tagged by @akakeiiji SAGE BABY THESE TAG GAMES ARE GIVING ME LIFE
1.) What is your least and most favorite thing about your star sign?
Uh I’m an August leo, but I don’t really know much about star signs in general? But my chemistry teacher in high school used the mnemonic “LEO the lion says GER” to help us remember redox reactions (Loss of electrons = oxidization, gain of electrons = reduction) so I guess that’s my favorite part about being a leo? Sorry I don’t really have a better answer, my inner science/chemistry nerd jumped out. Hopefully no one who reads this hated high school chemistry too much.
2.) What time do you usually sleep and wake up?
Sleep: 3:45 AM
Wake up: 9:50 AM
Extra nap: somewhere in between 3-6 PM.
If you all couldn’t tell my sleep schedule is not great.
3.) What odd, totally random childhood memory stuck with you throughout the years?
When I was really young, my family travelled to China to see friends + relatives. When I was there we visited the Great Wall. I managed to climb to one of the peaks/towers in the wall, but I was super scared of heights and thought I was gonna fall off so when we had to climb back down I sat down and butt dragged myself down each step.
4.) If you could write a book, what would it be about?
I get asked this question a lot (because I help out with first-year orientation at my university and we play a lot of icebreakers). honestly my answer changes each time but I think I’d write a “gratitude book.” I’ve had this idea for a while but basically at some point in my life I want to write and self-publish/publish a collection of letters to the people who have changed/influenced my life in a significant way. I have a list on my phone that is just people I want to write a letter to: parents, brother, teachers, friends, ex-boyfriends (I’ve had amicable breakups and I’m still in pretty regular contact with people I’ve dated), mentors, etc. I just want the people who know me to understand how much they mean to me and that they are amazing individuals.
If I can’t do this then I’mma write a book about the history/development of fan culture/fandoms and fan generated content in the 21st century. I hate it when people demonize fan culture or mock it. Hands down some of the best writing I’ve ever read has been fanfiction/fan content. There are so many talented artists/writers/singers/creators who don’t deserve the “mindless/deranged/dumb fan” narrative that mainstream media pushes. I don’t understand how mocking/belittling/de-legitimizing the passion, enthusiasm and talent of fan creators helps anyone and I will fight anyone who says we’re only just “dumb fans” like FOK YOU TOO fandoms have some amazing and brilliant people who create safe + accepting spaces while generating complex and interesting content. And you bet your ass I will write a whole book that pushes back on the deranged fan stereotype --thank you for coming to my ted talk.
5.) Who was your first anime/fictional crush? Why that particular character?
Saito Hajime from Hakuouki. I mean, have you seen this man??? Like - he’s so graceful and a badass when fighting, not to mention that he takes advantage of his left handed sword handling to throw opponents off. Also I was in peak teenage angst phase, so ofc I was obsessed with the ‘dark and silent’ type character. Anyways this man is fine AF and i have rewatched Hakuouki multiple times because he’s is still *THAT* handsome.
6.) If you could put yourself in any fictional universe, which one would you pick? Why?
The universe of Kekkai Sen Sen (Blood Blockade Battlefront). Listen. The way this universe execute magic realism/urban fantasy so well I cannot. Like - it’s such a wacky and crazy world, and of course Hellsalem’s lot is probably like one of the most dangerous places to be ever but like -- I don’t mind? Honesty, as long as I had powers of my own I would be okay (i think?). I just love how there are mundane magic things that happen but also really wacky/chaotic things like having a giant materialize in downtown New York City. I mean there’s literally a flying hospital with a magic doctor who can split her self up into min selves to treat more patients like please send me there TODAY. Anyways if I ended up in that universe I would want to have some kind of healing/shielding/defensive superpower because a lot of innocent everyday residents get caught up in the chaotic/violent supernatural hijinks of the city and I want to help out in any way I can. In conclusion, I would like to be transported to Hellsalem’s Lot for the sole purpose of meeting Steven A. Starphase because that man is damn attractive and a badass and I am such a simp for him.
7.) What’s the last compliment you received?
I don’t remember Uh, I actually really can’t recall the last compliment I received but I remember a really memorable compliment I got was that I’m really easy to talk to? The person said that when they first met me I had a “disarming friendliness” that made them feel a lot less anxious and more at home + they felt like I was very genuine and invested in getting to know them. Uh idk if that’s true but hearing that made me really happy :)
8.) What is the one thing you miss the most during quarantine? (Asides from being with other people, ofc)
Dancing + music. I’m part of a dance group at my university + I love attending free workshops + classes in my community. I really miss going to practice with my friends and having fun with them in the studio. :( I also play flute for the university orchestra and we probably won’t be allowed to meet/rehearse at all for the next school year (bc social distancing/quarantine) so I’m sad because I miss being involved with art stuff.
9.) When/where do you feel most content?
By myself, sitting on my bed while sunlight is shining into my room through the windows.
10.) What is a food that you hate with burning passion and will never eat?
Eggplant. ISTG I am allergic to that shit like every time I ate an eggplant dish (because my parents forced me too as a kid) my tongue gets super itchy but I’m allergic to peanuts/tree-nuts and it’s not the same feeling as when I have a reaction to to them??? so I’m not sure but either way i hate those purple vegetables.
Not gonna tag anyone because I don’t think I can come up with 10 meaningful questions right now but HEY HEY HEY if anyone who see’s this wants to join in feel free to use the questions I answered :)
nervous by @disgruntledkittenface
Niall walks out of the bathroom and his mouth dries up at the sight in front of him. This isn’t fine. This isn’t anything remotely in the vicinity of fine.
Shawn is sitting by the window, slouched a bit, one elbow rested on the arm of the ugly motel chair. He would look ridiculous, the thing was clearly designed for guests well under six feet, if he didn’t look so fucking sexy.
