Ask me about my characters and their children! 8D

(I'm doing this for my LietBel RP with Sarah! Mostly because we've already RPed a lot of this stuff before!!!)

How many children does your character have? How many would they ideally WANT?

Toris and Natalya have six children currently; three girls and three boys. Natalya doesn't mind how many children she has because of how much she loves Toris, but Toris initially only wanted three children.

How did the children become a part of the family? Were they born into it? Adopted? Somehow else? Talk about the journey! :D

All six children were born into the family, however, the second-youngest, Mykol, is actually Feliks' son born from a prank Feliks convinced Toris to pull on Natalya. In anger Natalya ordered Toris to take responsibility for the child and raise him as his own. They don't have any adopted children, but the three oldest children have personal servants that Natalya has unofficially adopted into the family, and Toris has triplet siblings that he considers to be like his own children, much to Natalya's annoyance.


What kind of a parent is the character? Does their own idea match that? Do they think they are a good parent? What are some of their insecurities as a parent? How about their partner?

Toris is afraid about being a father, even to this day, because he had a bad upbringing as a child. He was already awkward but his dominant mother and being crowned Grand Duke at such an early age certainly didn't help. He's afraid of his son Jonas becoming like him when he grows up. However he is still a really cheerful and nerdy parent; always pampering the children and playing with them. Elena, Mykol, and Veronika all absolutely adore him and drop everything to be cared for by him. As for Natalya, at first she was completely clueless about parenting. Her father left and her mother died so she spent almost her entire life without parents. However once she got the hang of caring for Elena she realized she didn't want to be anything else and is extremely motherly. Everytime one of her children so much as coughs she is there, wondering if they're okay. Jonas, Anastasia, and Augustas all adore her to pieces and want to follow her around. Natalya does most of the childcare, obviously.

What are the meanings behind the children’s names, if they DO have meanings? Were they named after someone?

They are all Lithuanian names aside from Mykol, who has a Polish name to match his father's nationality. The fourth son, Augustas, was named after Toris and Natalya's father. The others are names Toris found to be beautiful.

What do the children call their parents?

'Mama' and 'Papa'

Talk about the children! What do they look like? What are their personalities like?

Elena is the oldest at eight. She has long brown hair that is braided and dark purple eyes. She has her father's personality and despite having a good heart, is really rambunctious and keeps stealing attention away from her siblings. She fights with her siblings a lot and is the loudest of the six and the most troublemaking. Her favourite colour is pink and she loves really girly things and chocolate, a craving she developed from her father.

Jonas is the second child, at five and a half. He has short blonde hair and dark green eyes. He is the future Grand Duke and is very soft and timid, not really shy but not really opening up to people either. He's very friendly and kind but easy to push around, which Elena takes advantage of. He takes after his aunt. He is a very good artist and loves to draw and his favourite colour is red.

Anastasia is the third child at three. She has long blonde hair that is usually worn loose with a bow in it and dark purple eyes. She take after her mother and is really prickly and grumpy, often for no reason. She isn't very independent and is clingy to her mother especially and sometimes her father. She often misbehaves to get attention. She is somewhat girly as well but also likes scary stories with monsters. Her favourite colour is yellow.

Augustas is the fourth child at one. He has thick brown hair and dark green eyes. He takes after his uncle and despite his age loves pranks and causing trouble. Whenever something bad happens to Toris like food getting spilled on him, he often laughs and claps his hands. He is extremely close to Anastasia but also likes Jonas' company. He likes to get dirty but is afraid of snow. His favourite colour is green.

Mykol is the fifth child at ten months. He has dark blonde hair that's thick and dark green eyes, but puffier cheeks that mark him as not being one of Toris'. Since he is still young, not much of his personality is apparent but he is a very well-behaved baby, the most well-behaved out of all of the children. He doesn't cry when he's hungry or wet and only cries if he gets hurt. He is extremely clingy to Toris and likes to be played with by him. He loves ducks and his part of the room is decorated with them, along with his favourite colour, blue. It is believed he will resemble his real father in personality when he grows up.

Veronika is the sixth child and the youngest, only being five months old. She has thick brown hair and light blue eyes. Much like Mykol, not much about her personality has been revealed but she is a very quiet yet happy baby. She only cries if she's sick and mainly sleeps for long periods at a time. She mostly coos and giggles cheerfully, especially if she's being held or played with. She likes both parents equally but still prefers Toris' attention. Her favourite colour is purple.

The children’s first words?

Elena's was 'stupid', Jonas' was 'mama', Anastasia's was 'egg', and Augustas' was 'milk'. I think Mykol's might've been 'papa'

What are some of the character’s favorite memories from their kids’ childhoods?

Technically, the children are still in their childhood, so I'm not sure I can answer this, haha

What are some of the character’s favorite things to do with their children?

Toris likes to go shopping and go on vacations with his children so they can all go swimming. Natalya likes to teach them how to do things like sewing. She also likes to have them help her with stuff like cooking.

What about the CHILDREN’S favorite things to do with their parents? :D This isn’t necessarily the same thing!

The children love to show off whatever they've just recently done or learned to Toris because he's not around them often. They also love to do things like take baths or swim with their parents, and they especially love snowball fights in the winter.

What’s playtime like? What kind of games does the character tend to play with the children? Are they GOOD at it? :D

Playtime is very chaotic since every child wants to do their own thing. Natalya rarely plays with the children but Toris does sometimes and usually draws with them or plays with the girls and their dollhouse. The one game they play a lot is Hide-and-Seek and the kids are pretty good at it...unless their uncle is seeking them haha

Does the character (or their partner, or BOTH) have some mutual hobbies or pastimes with the children that aren’t strictly playing?
Like some crafts or sports that they share and have fun with?

Toris teaches Jonas how to play the flute and swordfight because of his royal duties. Natalya shows her children how to take care of farm animals when they visit their aunt and uncle because they live on a farm and so the children take care of animals.

Does the character have any meaningful items they pass on to their children? Like an old toy, or a piece of jewelry, or some other family heirloom?

Not really. Natalya had nothing and Toris didn't have much of a childhood. The only thing he's passing onto Jonas is his title.

What are some of the skills or things the character teaches to their children? Some family traditions, or particularly important life lessons? How about their partner?

Toris teaches his children but especially Jonas proper court etiquette and manners in general. Since Jonas is his heir, he is his main priority. Natalya teaches her children to not be materialistic or snobbish and to teach everyone, including peasants, with kindness. She also teaches her children to embrace their Russian roots because her mother was a Russian woman.

Is there a toy/book/game the character is almost as excited about as the child (or even MORE so than the child? :D)

Toris always gets excited when it's wintertime because that means making snowmen and having snowball fights! He encourages all of his children to go out and play during the winter.


(Part 1 because the original was too big)

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Sleep time! Talk about the sleeping arrangements and rituals of the family through the years!

Their bedtime is still fairly early because they're still young; around seven or eight PM. A lot of times they take a bath if they're particularly dirty and Natalya helps them brush their hair and puts Elena and Anastasia's hair up in pigtails or braids. They then have to put away their toys and put on their pajamas. They're usually able to fall asleep fairly quickly but some of them want chocolate milk or just regular milk before they go to sleep. The babies are nursed so they can sleep, and then Natalya and Toris are finally free to do whatever they want.

Talk about what happens when a child gets sick.

They are often placed in the castle's sick-room and are tended to by a nurse, at least until Natalya finds out they're sick and heads down there and starts taking care of her children herself. Toris meanwhile spends all of his free-time worrying and freaking out about the children, hoping they're okay and will recover.

Talk about a time when the children did or said something that was both hilarious and definitely embarrassing for the parents!

Toris doesn't like to have townspeople know that he is the Grand Duke when he visits the village near the palace in disguise, however whenever he takes one of the children with him, they often announce super loudly who he is or become extremely confused and correct him when he tells them to refer to him by his 'peasant' name.

Talk about a time the children scared their parents.

Natalya doesn't scare easily, but Toris scares very easily and therefore the children always like to sneak up on him and either grab him or make a loud noise to make him jump. They usually get in trouble for it but it doesn't stop them at all.

Talk about a time the children made their parents very proud.

Toris and Natalya are always proud of their children. Natalya is mainly proud of even managing to have so many children to begin with and Toris is surprised yet proud by how intelligent they are for their young ages, thanks to Natalya.

Talk about a time when the children got into trouble!

When are they not in trouble? One time Elena was upset and told Natalya she wanted her to die, which hurt Natalya's feelings since she had to grow up without a mother in her life, unlike her older siblings. To make Elena understand how harsh her words were, she told Toris she was going to pretend she was dead to make Elena shape up and the two of them planned an entire funeral, inviting people and everything(they knew she wasn't really dead) In the middle of the funeral, Natalya opened her eyes and scolded Elena, scaring the little girl and all the other children out of their wits. She promised she would never say such a thing ever again, and to this day she hasn't.

What kind of people do the children grow up to be? What do they do?

Elena is going to move to Poland and become the Queen there so that she can be in power without having to marry. She would be a kind but terrifying queen who often still asked her parents for ruling advice. She would also remain girly and materialistic.

Jonas will be crowned the new Grand Duke when he turns fourteen, time permitting. He will be married, likely to a woman he loves a lot just like his father before him did. He would be a very kind but just ruler and a very kind and heartfelt person in general.

Anastasia and Augustas would remain at home and become teachers at one of the local schools. They would be copies of their mother and uncle and therefore scare a lot of people accidentally with their presence but would also be gentle with children. They would remain unmarried and would frequently visit their mother.

Mykol would become a royal guard for his half-brother like his father Feliks did. He would have a girly side, as well as an obnoxious side, but he would always mean well, even if he couldn't properly explain himself. No matter how old he got, he would always hug-tackle Toris whenever he saw him.

Veronika would travel the world. She would likely give up her Duchess title by choice or give herself a lower title and would likely settle somewhere in Russia after she traveled, wanting to get in touch with her Russian blood. She would still be quiet but observant, and good at giving advice. She would likely remain unmarried, or marry a peasant man.

Snapshot! Describe a scene or a full day from the family’s life. It could be anything from a normal daily routine, or some special day and what happened that day. ^u^

Toris and Natalya are often woken up early in the morning by one or more of the children jumping on their bed and asking for breakfast. Natalya wakes up first and nurses any babies that are awake, then either asks for a servant to make breakfast or makes it herself, depending on her mood. Toris eventually wakes up to eat breakfast. After the children eat breakfast, Toris sees if there are any plans related to being royal on the schedule and if the whole family has to be there or not. If they are free, then Natalya bathes and dresses all of the children, making sure their beds are all made-up. She then busies herself with something like knitting or embroidery while the children play with each other in their room or with their servants. Toris is usually nowhere to be found since he is likely attending a meeting or visiting the village. The children eat lunch and play some more. Natalya keeps a close eye on the babies. Toris usually comes back around the evening and everyone eats dinner together while the babies get nursed again. Since Toris was gone for most of the day it is usually his job to put the children to bed; all six of them. Toris and Natalya then put on their own pajamas and fall asleep after the children have. Despite most days ending up like this, life for the Polish-Lithuanian royal family is anything but monotonous.

Has having children changed the character? How?

It's made Toris become warmer and open up to more people. He used to be cold and careful about keeping up appearances, but his children have shown that he is really kind and awkward underneath that front. He cares less about what people think of him and more about how to keep his family protected and happy. Natalya too has opened up more. She used to be cold and icy, pushing people away and never allowing anyone to spend time with her. But after marrying the love of her life and having children, she has become far more open to people. She still has that prickly nature but overall she is more receptive to social contact than she was before. However Natalya is still the most warm and open around Toris and her children.

Wildcard! Share at least three of your favorite headcanons about the character and their children!

~Elena is a lesbian, Jonas is straight, Anastasia is bi but has a preference for men, Augustas is asexual, Mykol is gay, and Veronika is straight. Their parents are both bisexual. However their sexualties are irrelevant since they're still young.

~Elena's favourite foods are chocolate pancakes, chocolate-chip muffins, and mashed potatoes. Jonas' are mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and peaches, Anastasia's are borscht and scrambled eggs, Augustas' are mashed-up lamb and honey, and Mykol's is scrambled eggs.

~The four oldest children are all incontinent because of their father. Mykol isn't, but he has a really weak stomach from his actual father. And Veronika isn't incontinent at all.

The Fandom Meta Ask Meme! (Updated!)

I will be doing this for Sailor Moon since I feel like I don't talk about that fandom very much.

1. Analyze your favorite character! Get as in-depth as you want.

My favourite character from Sailor Moon is Haruka Tenoh, or Sailor Uranus. It's ironic because when I first started watching the show, I absolutely hated her guts. She did horrible things for no reason and seemed very unconcerned about everything, even willing to kill a teenage girl if it meant saving the universe. However, after reading the manga and getting older, I started to realize how much of an interesting and complex character she is. I do not condone her actions. Her actions are still awful and I hate them. However, I like her personality. Her entire life, she has been running from her problems. Whenever something came up that she couldn't deal with, she would literally run away from it. She even tried to run away from her duty of being a Senshi, at first. She trusts very little people because she doesn't want to get attached to anyone and end up having to leave them. At first, that trust belongs to solely Michiru, but as time goes on, it expands to include Setsuna and finally Usagi, the Inners, and Chihibusa and Hotaru. I think deep down, she is a very lonely girl who has been judged by society for her personal life for too long and has built up a wall of coldness to make it seem like she can't be hurt or doesn't care at all, when in reality, she cares a lot. Her interactions with Michiru show how fragile she can be and how much she wants to hide that, because she hates how fragile she is. Because fragility will get you hurt, she knows that. But now that she has friends, she doesn't need to be afraid of herself anymore.

2. Talk about your least favorite character, without mindlessly bashing them. I want to see actual reasons.

While I didn't dislike Seiya Koh in the manga, I did dislike him greatly in the anime. Not necessarily because he had a bigger role, though that certainly didn't help, but because he treats Usagi like garbage. I know he's supposed to be the 'stand-in' boyfriend for her while Mamoru is at Harvard, but he didn't have to be so much of a jerk. They also didn't give him a good reason why he liked her so much when in the manga, it is explained and it is actually really beautiful and tragic. In the anime, he gives no reason why he likes her and Usagi dislikes him despite constantly hanging out with him. I don't even really dislike his actual personality when he's around his bandmates or other people, it's just a generic arrogant type of personality, I just can't stand the way he is with Usagi. If he truly cared about her and loved her like I'm supposed to believe, then he wouldn't be so selfish around her.


3. Favorite Single-Episode plot. What made it so great? How was it resolved? How did it contribute to the over-all narrative, or the development of the characters involved?

One of my favourite episodes was one of the episodes from the third season. It's probably cheating to put it on here since it's part of the overarching plot, but hey, Sailor Moon doesn't really have any single-episode plots if you get what I'm saying. The reason why the episode sticks in my mind even to this day is because it was the first time we got to see a lot of things revealed; who Hotaru really was and all three Outers combine their powers into a huge attack for one, which I don't think they do again for the rest of the series. I thought Chibiusa's relationship with Hotaru really shined in the episode, moreso than other episodes, and the main image that I really remember is Chibiusa standing in front of Hotaru, begging the Outers to kill her instead if anybody has to get killed.

4. Favorite Multi-Episode plot arc. Can be more than one, go nuts!

I really love the series finale. I know it might be cheating a bit to put it here, but I love how it combines themes from all previous finales and made them even bigger. It was such a perfect climax for the show.

5. World building: What do you love most about the world the story takes place in? What does the author do to make it so appealing? Do they deal with alternate history, have a unique take on a cliched theme or story element?

Well, it takes place in 90's Japan, in a district of Tokyo. It is very obvious Takeuchi modeled Usagi and her life after herself and her life; all of Usagi's friends are literally Takeuchi's friends. However, I do like it because for all of Sailor Moon's faults, I think it has a really unique approach to the magical girl genera that many that followed have failed to capture. And that is the fact that it has to be both cheerful and depressing. It can't be cheerful all of the time and it can't be depressing all of the time. Takeuchi understood this and works wonderfully to intertwine the two tones. I'm not sure if it strictly counts as world-building, but it does involve the world of the story so I thought it counted.

6. Are there multiple media adaptions of the fandom? If so, talk about the differences between them— what does the adaption bring to the original material, what does it take away? If there are no adaptions, talk about a fic you love that has a unique or interesting take on canon.

Well the manga came first, and obviously, it's the best, but since that is the source material I won't be talking about it here.

There's the 90's anime which I still think is the best adaptation of the material. There's a lot of filler with the typical 'monster-of-the-day' episodes but they're good especially earlier on because you get to see Sailor Moon become more competent and a good fighter. The transformations and powers are all animated and despite everything they changed or left-out, I still feel like this is the most faithful version and best out of all of them.

There's the live-action show produced by Takeuchi, however despite how much I have heard I've only watched the first few episodes myself so I cannot speak personally. However they only did the first arc of the series and changed a LOT, like making Sailor Mercury evil for a brief time and introducing Princess Sailor Moon. It has a 'Power-Rangers' type of vibe hugely and that adds to the charm. However, that is all I can say personally.

There are the stage musicals, with the newer ones also being produced by Takeuchi. I haven't seen the newer ones, only a lot of the older ones and I think they're really good! They offer new perspectives on the arcs and do all sorts of plot divergences you wouldn't think would work, but they do. The original stories, I feel, fail because they're too over-the-top and aren't made to mesh well with the rest of the series, and the costumes are fugly and look like they cost like five bucks to make, and there are no props or anything, but these are minor complaints that have more to do with the medium, not the actual show itself. The songs are beautiful and almost all of them are on YouTube if anybody is curious enough to check them out!!!

I will not talk about the games because there are far too many of them and I haven't played every single one that exists.

Lastly there's Sailor Moon Crystal, a new anime to celebrate the twentieth anniversary and adapt the manga better. It's...a mess. While I don't hate it as much as a lot of the fandom does, I do acknowledge it has some very serious problems. The biggest one to me is the animation. While it got better towards the end of the second season, it was reallllllly bad when it first started out to the point it was both laughable and depressing. They DO follow the manga a bit better than the original did, but they just keep in a lot of stupid things that weren't in any adaptation at all and that really bothers me since I don't think they're good decisions at all.

7. If a video game fandom, how goes the gameplay mechanic contribute to, or detract from the narrative? Is the mechanic a good fit to the narrative, or could the narrative be better explored through a different mechanic?

It has video games, but it is not a video game fandom, so I'll skip this question.

8. How much does soundtrack matter? Is music over used, under used, or used just enough?

The soundtrack to Sailor Moon is one of my most favourite anime soundtracks of all time. It perfectly fits the anime and one of my only complaints about the manga is that it didn't have this music attached to it. A lot of the songs have become iconic, for better or for worse, in both English and Japanese and almost all of them are extremely beautiful. If you can get past a lot of the weird song names, that is. Plus a lot of them are sung by the actual voice actresses! You have not lived until you have heard Megumi Oogata sing.

9. Talk about a major theme in the narrative and how that theme is developed throughout. Why is this theme important? How does it influence the narrative?

The main theme is, obviously, friendship. Friendship, love, and compassion will always save the day. The manga has a more hopeless tone than the anime does, but even in that, the day is often saved by Usagi reaching deep into the villain's heart and making them feel some sort of way, something they either never felt before or had forgotten they once felt. Even though it is technically a romance, that aspect is only really focused on in terms of Usagi and Mamoru, and even then, their main theme is destiny due to their pasts.

10. Free for all — write about anything you want as it pertains to the fandom of choice.

I really wish more people would accept the fact that Usagi is canonically bisexual and possibly canonically autistic as well. Usagi has flat-out said in the manga that she doesn't mind who she dates, boy or girl it doesn't matter to her, but people keep acting like that panel doesn't exist. As for her being autistic, I think she shows very definite signs of it, even moreso than any other anime character I've seen. While they don't go into it at all and while I'm not accusing Takeuchi herself of being autistic, I am pretty sure Usagi herself is intended to be, or is accidentally made so. She's immature for her age, highly so, isn't too bright, mimics how her friends act, can't act decently in public at all, her friends have this certain way of treating her, she is obsessed with one certain thing, and even as an adult, though she is slightly more mature, she still has weird quirks. She is autistic, I believe it, a hundred percent. She's not just 'weird' or a 'normal girl'. She has actual problems throughout the series of learning how to do things and acting a certain way.

I wonder if I should leave the library early. Not only do I want to get home before a potential storm, but I don't really feel like being on the Internet anymore. I was already feeling pretty bad when I got on here but now I just feel worse. Perhaps it's my own fault. Regardless, I feel like absolute garbage and just want to go home.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Am I going to go to Hell for jokingly suggesting we make those really gross and weird click-baity games for anime characters

You know which ones I mean, the ones where you have to help a character give birth or do surgery on their stomach or something

I've played them too

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

(view spoiler)[ Oh my gosh I just realized I forgot to do the rest of my shipping headcanons!!! I suck lol

So this time to kick off the anime list I'm going to do Seraph of the End. For this one I have literally so many ships so I'm not going to do headcanons for every single one since most of them despite shipping I don't actually have any headcanons for. So I'll just do the main ones that I do have headcanons for but do realize these aren't all of the things I ship. Most of them have similar headcanons anyway so

ShinoaxYoichi

they just have one daughter who has purple hair and green eyes who is really cute and is called that by everyone, though that might also be because of how young she is

her name is Satomi Hiragi

Shinoa doesn't pay much attention to her daughter. she has other responsibilities to care for, plus she considers her role in repopulation to be done so it's up to Yoichi to care for Satomi, and he can't bare to punish her and instead spoils her constantly, treating her like a little princess

Yoichi is also expected to cook and clean which he's really bad at. luckily he shares the house with his other squad members who often take care of it for him

Yuu's squad lives in a run-down apartment that is paid for by the military. it's not fancy and a bit crowded but there's still enough room for everyone and their children, which is what matters in the end. each father has their children share a room and then they have their own bedroom. Yoichi's two daughters share a bedroom, much to their annoyance (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I left the library early yesterday. I don't really think it matters why. I might leave early today too, I don't know yet.

But I did finally get in contact with someone from Ivy Tech and they redirected me to the transfer expert at IU for my transfer questions and I feel proud that I managed to get that done

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

That moment when you really want to side-eye certain authors for putting really descriptive scenes of peeing in their books but then you realize you do the same exact thing and also throw in graphic vomiting scenes so you can't talk at all and have to put yourself in the kinkshame corner

I got bit by the writing bug hard and all I wanna do right now is write. But the problem is, what do I even work on???

Mom this morning: "He doesn't know how lucky he has it. Like, I want a man to hold me down and vomit on me,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

0-0 who is "he" ?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

A character from a game.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I know this is selfish, but I don’t really care. Mom’s trying to say we all put her in a bad mood these past few days, which is the truth, but I don’t like how she gets to relax and have quiet when she doesn’t feel good and I don’t whenever I don’t feel good. I got a headache earlier from my baby brother screaming and she didn’t care. She never cares about me when I’m sick, when I’m in pain, or when I’m in danger. She never has and I dislike how much I struggle without getting any appreciation from her. I don’t think she has appreciated or helped me out once. And I’m supposed to do it to her? Haven’t I already done enough?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I didn't go to the library yesterday, obviously. I didn't really want to go today either but since I might not be able to get on this weekend I decided to suck it up and go today.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I specifically told someone I would make a boyfriend for their character but then I found out they went behind my back and had another person make a character for theirs? I'm like really hurt by that because I had been saying for a week and a half now that I was going to make that character for them. I even got a basic outline of them done and now I'm going to have to throw away that character. I asked if anyone else needed a character but I don't think they need that specific type. Ugh, I'm so stupid.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Maybe I should see what my best friend is up to. I've been feeling extremely upset for the past few days and I would much rather talk to someone who actually listens to me and makes me feel better than pointlessly going off in my journal constantly.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

In the Russian Empire you were required to call your teachers 'master' and 'mistress' and say 'yes sir, no sir. yes miss, no miss' and what could be more glamorous than that. I can't believe everyone else disagrees with me.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

I agree teachers should be respected but I think "master" and "mistress" would be odd.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

It's because in the Russian Empire, they had the ideology that certain people were above you. The royal family was above it all, and the nobles were above the townspeople, etc. So in school, your teacher was above you as a student and that is why you called them that.

Being a teacher in the Russian Empire wasn't very glamorous though since nobody respected you and a lot of teachers got very sick because they weren't paid enough to eat. And there weren't a lot of school buildings so a lot of classes had to be held in townhouses or businesses and you can probably imagine how that went.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

At least they had education opportunities.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

One teacher talked about how her school was held in this really smoky bakery and she kept asking the owners to let her open up a window so her children could focus better and the owners were like 'no, stop being so uppity' and she and the children kept getting really sick and vomiting and getting headaches from how humid it was in the room. There were cockroaches and the children often shook them out of their hair and clothes and the teacher asked again if she could open a window to get the bugs out and the owners told her no. Another time she asked if she could open the windows and spruce up the place because the childrens' parents were visiting and she wanted to make it look presentable and they again told her no.

And there was the fact that even if you did end up going to school in an actual building, it was often crowded and really dirty and a lot of teachers and parents reported their children becoming ill with diseases such as cholera and being taken out of school. Boarding schools and colleges in the Russian Empire especially had a huge problem with sanitation, for obvious reasons.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

SO...maybe they were better off without it.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Probably, seeing as how by 1910, only 44% of males and 11% of females in the Russian Empire were literate.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

And a majority of those people were nobles since they were the only ones who could afford the uniforms and supplies. So yes, rich children were the ones who had to deal with unsanitary schools and underpaid and a lot of times inexperienced teachers.

Me: "Every once in a while I wake up in a cold sweat when I remember that one person on Tumblr who got a Lunchable, fully packed, and then unwrapped it to find out they literally had no cheese in the Lunchable. Literally everything else was where it was supposed to be, but there was no cheese. That person only sounded mildly annoyed and confused but I would've been absolutely horrified if that happened to me."

Mom: "So that's your worst nightmare?"

Me: "Yes! It's just like the burning baseball card!"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

Burning baseball card?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

It's a reference to a Stephen King book where a little boy is having his first wet dream and then it escalates into a nightmare where his favourite baseball card is being burned.

Guys I think I saw a cold air funnel today

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

So earlier today I threw up several times while at Wal-Mart after feeling incredibly nauseous for several hours. I would tell you guys the story, but I think it is becoming increasingly obvious to me that nobody really cares or even inquires about my wellbeing anymore, so I guess the story of why this happened will only be known to me and my mom *shrugs*

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

I care...

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I mean, I only threw up because I ate something really greasy that disagreed with me. That is all. But I still would've like some concern.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Aaaaaaaah OMG I'm going to hang out with my best friend next week!!!!!!!!!!! I am literally so excited and stoked!!!!!! I haven't seen her in person since February 2017 and I can't even describe how excited I am!!!!! I can't wait to see her again!!!

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

Awesome!!! Do you guys have any planned activities?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I think we're just going to hang out at the bowling alley or maybe the roller rink. She suggested my house and while my mom gave us permission I didn't really want her visiting while my brothers are home lol

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

Don't blame you one bit

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I actually suggested her place but her mom is moving back to Detroit and thus she's living in her boyfriend's trailer with his mom until she can get a new place and she doesn't really want to have people over. Which sucks but I guess I can understand that

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I feel really bad because I finally finished that book for Mom last night and I know she was really eager to discuss it with me this morning but I can only talk extensively about books that have made an impact on me, whether positively or negatively. And even though the book was good, I don't really have any other thoughts on it. I read it, I liked it, and that's it. And I feel really bad about it because I know it's one of her most favourite books ever and she has to listen to me talk over and over about some of my most favourite books ever that she'll never read, and I can't do the same for her?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

I wonder if I should go to the library this weekend. I've spent a lot of time away from the computer for personal reasons and I don't really want to make a habit of it. However this weekend will be having heat indexes up to 110. I feel like it is unfair to stay inside when we have dangerous wind chills but not when we have dangerous heat indexes; it is unfair to myself. Not to mention, incredibly dangerous for myself personally because I am unable to tell when I am getting overheated and I don't think being out in weather like that would be good.

However, it's pretty much the only time this week we're not scheduled to have thunderstorms and I'm going swimming tomorrow probably, so....what should I do?

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭)]

I say dress appropriately, bring lots of water and make sure you aren't pushing yourself. If you feel you can't make it to the library before going too far, turn back.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Well, last weekend, or maybe the weekend before it, we had pretty high heat indexes. Mom told me if I followed NWS Indianapolis' instructions of drinking lots of water and being in shaded areas I would be fine, and that's what I do anyway. And the library is air conditioned, obviously, so I'll be able to spend lots of time cooling down.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

But then again, the heat index was only 103 or something

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

It's supposed to be really bad out in the sun. A lot of times in the summer I use my umbrella to keep the sun off me and give myself shade and it actually really works. I wonder if I could do that this weekend.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

So I found out that Cardia and Finis from Code;Realize are only fifteen years old and all I want to do is lie in bed forever after learning that because I'm trying to prove a point to my mom and that is NOT helping lol

Pride Month is almost over, so as promised, here are all of my sexuality headcanons from animes I've seen!

This is not every anime I have seen, nor is this every character; these are just the ones I have sexuality headcanons about. Much like in the actual fandoms, don't give me trash over these because they don't match up with your ideas. Rather, let's discuss respectfully your headcanons!

Without further ado, let's get into them.

Sailor Moon:

Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, Minako Aino, Usagi Tsukino: Bisexual

Chibiusa Tsukino, Hotaru Tomoe: Bi-curious

Setsuna Meioh: Asexual

Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh: Lesbian

Mamoru Chiba: Straight but an absolute Ally

Hetalia:

Belgium and Taiwan: Lesbian

Sweden: Gay(for Finland)

Literally everyone else: Bisexual

Black Butler:

Doll and Joanne: Bisexual

Edward: Bi-curious/Questioning

Assassination Classroom:

Kaede: Bisexual

Nagisa: Transgendered(Female-to-male)

Karma, Kaede, and Nagisa: Polyamorous

Danganronpa:

Chihiro Fujisaki: Pansexual(I actually used to headcanon him as being straight, but then someone on YouTube said really happily they headcanoned him as being pansexual and a homophobe started insulting them, so you know what homophobe? I headcanon him as being pansexual too)

Literally most people: Bisexual(since they are attracted to your character regardless of gender. There are only a few characters in the games that the game will not let you romance due to them being homosexual)

Seraph of the End:

Yoichi Saotome: Bisexual

Shinoa Hiragi: Pansexual

Mitsuba Sangu and Shiho Kimizuki: Bi-curious

Mika Hyakuya: Asexual homoromantic

Yuu Hyakuya: Asexual maybe??? I literally have no idea what to headcanon him as. He never seems interested in literally any of his squad members. At first Mom suggested demisexual but that doesn't fit him either. So I guess asexual is the best we can all do

I do believe that are all of my headcanons. If I think of a fandom I left off the list, I'll happily add it back in, but as of now, I'm pretty sure that's all of them. Like I said, I don't have headcanons about every single character in a particular fandom, and for some fandoms, like Bleach, I do not have sexuality headcanons at all. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I headcanon a lot of my favourite characters as being sexuality-wise and I hope maybe I helped you discover some new headcanons yourself! And of course I'm always open to discussions and interpretations as long as you're being respectful!

Whoever decided to make a version of Code;Realize for the the Nintendo Switch and make Diabolik Lovers Zero a drama CD I just wanna talk

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛]

Should I put an incest disclaimer on my newest fanfic? I don't really think it is needed but I can see some people complaining about it since this fanfic is definitely supposed to be about a romantic relationship between two siblings, albeit one-sided. I've never done it before, but then again, I don't think I've ever written a fanfic that would need such an explicit warning such as that. What do you guys think?
