⟡ varka is really affectionate, to no one’s surprise. your name somehow makes its way into every conversation he has, even if you’re not there. if you are, he’s always steering the topic back to you, or asking for your input with a warm smile.
⟡ he’s the kind of guy to have no shame when it comes to you. he’ll pick you up and twirl you around in the town centre in front of everyone, even if its only been a day since you’ve seen him.
⟡ he’s your personal cheerleader. he’s nothing if not proud of you and he makes sure to tell you all the time.
⟡ he calls you his spouse way before you guys get married. you two are as good as married to him anyway.
⟡ varka’s ideal date is something fancy where he can show you off, but if you aren’t up for that then he loves to stargaze with you. just the two of you, two glasses of wine and the stars above.
⟡ his favourite place to kiss you is obviously your lips. he’s such a tease about it too, even when you’re giving him a quick kiss goodbye, he’ll tug on your lower lip with his teeth before pulling away. his second favourite place is your thighs. it doesn’t have to go further, just gently pressing his lips to your thigh while he’s laying his head on them.
⟡ he adores your body. shape and size don’t matter to him, he’ll cherish it no matter what because it’s yours. you were always so perfect to him, and your body isn’t the exception to that.
⟡ he’s the kind of guy to kiss your fingertips when you offer him a bite of food from your hand. he’s a sap like that.
⟡ his favourite things to call you are angel, darling, beloved, or some silly nickname derived from your name.
⟡ varka loves when you call him yours. your boyfriend, your lover, your varka. nothing makes his heart swell more than being yours, and proudly yours.
⟡ he brings you flowers while you’re working. he’ll knock at your door and when you tell him to come in, he’ll be stood there with a boyish grin, holding out a handful of cecilias to you. you’ve learnt to keep a large vase of water at your workplace to store his flower gifts.
⟡ varka has had his proposal to you planned for ages. (oneshot incoming perhaps 👀) he’s just waiting for the chance to get you both properly out of work.
⟡ if you ever get seriously injured, varka’s glued to your side. he’ll sit by your bed, trying to make you laugh to distract you from your injuries. while you’re unconscious, he’s gently stroking the back of your hand and pressing his lips to your knuckles and the inside of your wrists.
⟡ varka is very much “happy wife (spouse), happy life” coded in the sense that he does not like making you angry or upset. he’ll genuinely get on his knees for forgiveness from you. he hates arguing with you and avoids it as much as he can. (cue mild communication issues)
⟡ he falls asleep last and wakes up last. he likes when you lay your head on his chest while he rests his hand on your waist. sometimes you’ll wake up and you’re both tangled in each other’s arms as a result of him pulling you closer throughout the night.
⟡ varka’s big on cuddling. he holds you tight in his arms, mumbling sleepily against your neck to get you to stay for just “five more minutes.” five minutes turns to half an hour because he just can’t bring himself to let go of you.
⟡ he only does his paperwork when you’re keeping him company. you have to reward him with kisses periodically to get him to continue. (ho is you a dog?) sometimes turns into you two making out but he sounds so apologetic about it while he’s mumbling an “oops..?” against your lips. you can’t bring yourself to be mad at him when he kisses you so sweetly.
people of colour deserve to be able to enjoy fluff and escapism and transformative media and silly fandom stuff the same way that everyone else is allowed to, i think. there’s a lot of unexamined hostility toward anyone who isn’t white; sometimes it’s subtle, and sometimes it’s not. there needs to be far more love and support for poc, and far less defensiveness and tolerance regarding racism in spaces like these.
Hi Apple users, Apple released a fun thing where they take your photos and Siri transcripts and use them to train AI! And they may be automatically turned on without your knowledge, because oh boy they sure were for me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Open the “apps” section in your settings (it’s usually at the very bottom), go to photos and scroll until you see “Enhanced Visual Search” and then turn that shit off. Then go to “Privacy and Security”, scroll until you see “Analytics & Improvements”, and turn off “Improve Siri & Dictation” as well.
I am an artist with hundreds upon hundreds of my artworks in my photo album. I also have plenty of photos with not only my own face, but the faces of my friends and my family. I do not appreciate that being used to train AI without my consent, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for others too.
I’m so tired of big companies.
EDIT: I made a mistake this feature isn’t used to train AI, but it does still take your photos to be analyzed by AI. This is a feature that was automatically turned on without notice, giving nobody the option to turn it off or on until they find it themselves.
