I'm seeing you respond to an OCs and/or a lyrics meme, and your responses are neat, and I think I'd like to reblog it to play too but I can't find the meme itself on your blog. Is it older than the last day or so? Would you maybe link it?
Yay I get to do this again!!! Ok wow we’re getting into some Nostalgia songs this time. Get ready for the music taste of Emo Q.
“Throw it awayForget yesterdayWe’ll make the great escapeWe won’t hear a word they sayThey don’t know us anywayWatch it burnLet it dieCause we are finally free tonight“
Fuckin none other than Escape- Boys Like Girls.
Send me a ∞ and I’ll shuffle my music and post my favorite lyrics from the song I really really love doing this ask meme!!!!
Ӝ IS IT CHEATING TO ASK FOR ALL THE LUCKY CLOVER CHARACTERS
It is not cheating ^^ the answers are subject to change, of course, depending on how the story progresses, but at the moment this is the general breakdown. I’ll even throw in a bonus profile ;)
I’ll put this under a cut because it’s rather long but if anyone’s interested in these characters, they’re from my sideblog @lvckyclover where I post original fiction about robots!
SUBJECT: DRAGON
Gender cis male
Sexuality demisexual pan
Romantic demiromantic pan
Dragon takes a long, long time to grow romantically or sexually attracted to any given person. As a result, he’s had precious few past partners of any variety. Most notable is Val, the only one you could say Dragon loved and lusted after. The others were one-night stands, people Dragon picked up (or who picked him up) on a quest to determine if and when he experienced attraction. Since Val, though, Dragon’s avoided any romantic or sexual entanglements. I wonder why...?
SUBJECT: BEE
Gender nonbinary (uses female pronouns but does not self-identify as female if asked)
Sexuality asexual, but very unsure about it all; has a hard time distinguishing sexual attraction from romantic attraction as she’s not sure if she’s experienced either one before.
Romantic panromantic; that being said, Bee is wary of male-presenting individuals until she either gets to know them or reads their files
Bee doesn’t like people on the whole, but she’s on the lookout for a longterm partner. She doesn’t think anyone’s ever going to accept her the way she is--Bee thinks of herself as broken--and she has a hard time so much as imagining herself with anyone, either romantically or sexually. She’s not interested in sex for the sake of it and is in fact afraid of it, and she doesn’t see how anyone would be attracted to her. For Bee, the whole romantic and sexual business people have with each other is mystifying and exclusive of her, something she’s simultaneously proud of and upset about.
SUBJECT: ANDRES GARCIA (AKA ANDY)
Gender cis male
Sexuality pansexual
Romantic panromantic
Andy is, for all intents and purposes, interested in everyone. He’s not going to go out and pick people up at bars or whatnot (unless they call him for a ride home because they’re drunk off their ass) but he’s not averse to sex or to much of anything. It’s not that Andy falls in love easily, exactly, more that he’s always open to the idea of it. He’s formed a lot of friendships this way, something the other parties tend to find awkward and he finds perfectly normal. That being said, Andy’s never had anyone stay the night in his apartment before. It’s a rule of his, ironclad and set in stone.
SUBJECT: TREBLE (CHOSEN NAME UNKNOWN)
Gender genderfluid (Treble will admit readily that they’re not quite sure what gender is to begin with but in terms of presentation it’s all over the map so they prefer genderfluid. Plus, “fluid” is a great word. Fluid.)
Sexuality asexual
Romantic Treble’s unsure on this front but thinks maybe panromantic?
Treble’s not really sure what the difference between romantic and platonic love even is, and so they struggle to identify what, precisely, they feel. (Feelings are still new to Treble. Give them time.) They want to have classifications like this, just like how most Humans have, but it’s very difficult, and there’s no set equality to determine the answer. As such, it’s something that bothers Treble tremendously. They’re probably working on the answer right now as we speak.
SUBJECT: VALERIE COHEN (AKA VAL)
Gender trans female
Sexuality heterosexual
Romantic heteroromantic
There’s only so much any given person can do to change the world, don’t you know? Only so much you can give? Take a moment, think about yourself--your life, your friends, your loved ones. Didn’t anyone tell you, Val? There’s everything to lose and much to fear.
5: post a line from your current project without any context <3
“Coffee can wait,” Matt mumbled into his skin. His hands ran down his body without specific purpose or destination; he was warm from sleep and pliable and just a bit shy in his mumbling, bold in the press of his body against Matt’s. “You don’t need help waking up if you decide to just stay in bed.”
Easy Japanese! is a lot like Duolinguo (which sadly doesn’t have Japanese). Good for learning nouns, numbers, simple sentences -- and also writing, if you want. I find it addictive.
Learn Japanese phrasebook is a simple app that just lets you listen to and favorite travel phrases for easy reference.
Human Japanese gives really helpful detailed info about the why and how of pronunciation and writing, but is probably more detailed than needed for quick travel phrases.
I’ve also been listening to podcasts: Survival Japanese Phrases -- very helpful! -- and JapanesePod101.

“Omg I found an adorable hedgehog at my local coffee shop and nabbed...”
Omg the cuteness!!!
<# <# <# Been thinking of you. :)
@fangirlscout replied to your post
“Japan”
The photo translate option in Google translate is EXTREMELY helpful and I recommend downloading the Japanese dictionary for it so you can access the basics offline. But ... すみません (excuse me/I'm sorry) and わかりません (I don't understand) will help you out A LOT. Also pocket wifi was a blessing.
Thanks for the recs -- and yay! I could read those phrases and understand!! わかります :D
@pangodillo replied to your post
“Japan”
I miss Japanese a lot! I still remember most of these, I've just forgotten the structure for telling time. Good luck learning!!
Thank you! It seems like you just add “ji” to a number (with a few exceptions); my own questionable attempt for “it’s cat o’clock” is 猫時です(neko ji desu)
@always2ofus reblogged your post and added:
おかえりなさい!Welcome back! :) Yup, it was me. (Or maybe it was me as todayintokyo. One of us.) If we can go walkabout again, it would be great. We can celebrate your return in this detective cafe. :)
PS: Everything about cats is fully legit in Japan. Everything and anything.
[neko atsume gif]
Yay, I can pronounce that! ;) And that sounds great... I’ll definitely let you know when there are details. And yes, I remember going to cat street, and cat cafes... I know I won’t go wrong with this obsession! (Also, my parents got me a stuffed neko atsume kitty for Christmas -- Spots -- so cute!)
shipping-only-reason mentioned you in a post“My predictions”
… @wholockedcumberwumber @inevitably-johnlocked @ destinationtoast @johnandsherlocks @johnlockfulfillment @currently-in-my-mind-palace But really…
Hi! I am not a tjlc person... did you perhaps mean to tag someone else?

“Omg I found an adorable hedgehog at my local coffee shop and nabbed...”
SOOOOO CUUUUUTE. Almost, but not quite, as cute as your cats.
NOTHING is that cute. ;)
@anonsally replied to your photo
“Bonus: hedgehog wearing Sherlock wallpaper scarf.”
omg. THIS IS SO CUTE.
People at the cafe were giving me odd looks. (And also talking about how Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an otter, at the next table over!!) It was totally worth it. :)
@theclearestglass replied to your post “Question for y'all...”
I intend to watch it tomorrow! I should be blocking spoilers but instead I'm just scrolling past them quick because I'm lazy
Heh, I hear you... I used to use XKit to block things, but now I’m on my phone most of the time and do the same for things I wanna avoid.
hey you're fab, I hope the rest of your and your family's Shabbat is excellent
Thank you! I have to work the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, which isn’t ideal, but we are gonna do nothing on Sunday except maybe play Pokemon together.
THANK YOU HELL YES @ordinarybirds LOOK I hope I did okay by your characters T___T
who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter
Kipper’s the hunter. Kipper doesn’t want to be a hunter, but they’ve got this thing in his neck and they’ve made him hurt things and he just wants it to stop, stop, stop... But they send him out anyway. He’s scared and he doesn’t want to do this and he misses Dr. Finch, who taught him how to build a campfire and who toasted marshmallows with him and who’d protected him--but Finch is dead. He got killed by something and they want Kipper to go out and kill it. You already know what “killed” Nico...
who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman
Kipper is the mermaid, damn straight. Nico catches him in a net and Kipper just says HI all excited because !!! an actual human!!!! SO EXCITING TELL ME EVERYTHING. He’s lucky it’s Nico that found him and not any of the others Nico used to work with; there’s rumors about what they do with the more exotic creatures that periodically find their way into the nets. Nico, for his part, is more than a little enamored.
who’s the witch and who’s the familiar
Nico’s the witch. He’s not a particularly good one, at least by some standards. He’s a poor healer and an even worse offensive fighter, but he’s decent when it comes to making salves and growing things. Kipper’s the familiar. He’s best described as a dog--though dog he is not--in terms of friendliness and behavior, but there’s something just slightly off about his presentation that leaves some people staring curiously. (It’s not the pink fur, no matter how off-putting that might be. It’s harder to pin down than that.)
who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict
Once again, I’m seeing this as slight canon-deviation? Nico’s gotten himself a job at a coffee shop because they didn’t ask too many questions and he doesn’t have to offer much in the way of credentials. Kipper comes in one day, shivering and obviously looking for him. Nico gets him a coffee--with chocolate syrup, remembering that Kipper loves sweets more than anything else--and that, as they say, is that.
who’s the professor and who’s the TA
nope, no thanks
who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm okay okay I’m. This one’s hard. Because honestly (and don’t laugh) the only person I can see as a prince is Linus, brooding and easily upset and largely unwilling to leave the castle, with Matt as his favorite knight and lover. (Linus keeps waiting for Matt to admit that he’s just using Linus for the throne, even though he knows Matt’s better than that, better than he deserves, but it’s fucking complicated and why does he have to be this way??) I kind of feel like witch!Nico and familiar!Kipper would join up in this ‘verse. Otherwise, I guess prince Kipper and knight Nico? Maybe. Sort of.
who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent
Again okay this is hard because I really really don’t like the idea of either of them having children. I’m going to skip this one because it’s kind of grossing me out and I don’t know why.
who’s the writer and who’s the editor
Kipper is the writer. He writes children’s books, the kind that win about eight million awards. He writes them for himself, really, because the charming little stories make him feel better and safe in a world that seems entirely Unsafe. Nico, his editor, is kind and understanding and sits with him when everything is a bit Too Much. Kipper loves him, a lot. It’s okay because Nico loves him too.
