Summary: Khunbam strawberry picking date

They each had little baskets, and Khun was very strategically picking his strawberries. They had to be just ripe enough to not spoil quickly, a good enough size to be eaten in one bite so there’s no mess, and free of any holes that might have bugs hidden in them. He shuddered at the mere thought as he placed a perfect strawberry in his basket.

“Hey, Bam?” He looked around but he was no where in sight—he nearly screamed when Bam came up behind him, holding something out with both hands.

“Khun-sii, look! It’s so big!” Khun gawked at the strawberry that looked just a bit smaller than his fist. An absolute unit, one might say.

“That’s ridiculously big. I don’t know how you can bite into that.”

Bam’s eyes went wide. “Why do you want to eat it? It’s meant to be treasured!”

Khun chuckled as he pat Bam’s head. He loved this fool so much.

“At the end of the day, it’s a strawberry, Bam. You either eat it or it goes bad.”

Bam frowned. “Is there no way to save it? Oh, what if I freeze it!?”

Khun shook his head. “No way. I’m not keeping that thing in the freezer to take up space for years.”

Bam sighed and placed it in his basket. He had a collection of very oddly shaped strawberries. “Okay… I’ll eat it.”

Khun set his basket down and pulled Bam into a hug. Bam buried his face in his shoulder and hummed happily. “I’m sorry, Bam. But I bet it’ll taste amazing.” He felt Bam nod against his shoulder.

“C’mon. Let’s hurry up so we can stop by the grocery store and get some whipped cream.”

Bam let out a happy gasp as he broke free. “Yes! That sounds amazing!”

Khun picked up his basket as Bam went back to inspecting the vines for the best strawberries.

This silly man was the love of his life.

He shook his head and went back to picking a few more strawberries to fill his basket so he could hurry back home with him.

Do you ever binge read someone's work on ao3 and get the urge to serenade them, like, hello my fair fic author you have wooed me with your excessive flowery metaphors and complete lack of plot, even your messy 3am fics with very visible flaws are gorgeous, your self indulgent dynamics have enchanted me, please accept my kudos

Pocky day!

They are in a temporary truce.

Bam will give Khun lots of sweets. <3

Anyways, any new people from Twitter, welcome!

Tumblr’s kinda similar in a buncha ways (Tweet = Post, Retweet and Quote Tweet = Reblog), but here’s a short little summary of things that work differently and might help yall to know:

Optional: Go to your Settings, go to Dashboard, and remove “Best Things First”. This is a very recent attempt by Tumblr to include a form of “Likes” based algorythm. It’s somewhat primitive, and makes it very hard for most posts to get any visibility, so it’s highly recommended to just turn it off. If you do, all posts on your dash will be seen in chronological order instead.

Tags work in a similar way to Twitter, except you now add them at the very bottom of a post! They’re smaller and greyed out, so they’re much less intrusive, and you can add in up to 20 tags per post. The first 5 tags are the ones most likely to show up on searches, so keep that in mind when posting!

Tags are more than just a hashtag system! Because you can write spaces and full sentences in them, people will use them a lot to add uninntrusive comments on reblogs. See, direct comments on reblogs will stick under the original post for any chain of reblogs that originates from yours, and might detract from the original post. Only include comments there if there’s something you think is important to point out of discuss about the original post (and please try keep civil)

REBLOG!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REBLOG! Tumblr doesn’t work like Twitter. There’s no algorythm here to spoonfeed you the most popular posts based on likes. Things on tumblr only move via two ways: By tags, and especially by reblogs. Always try to reblog posts you like, so they can actually be seen! Likes are nice but don’t actually do anything for visibility! (and no, “Best Things First” doesn’t help expand beyond the people and tags you are already following)

Curate your experience! Blocking is always an option, and because there’s so many possible tags that can be added on a post, it’s much easier to blacklist more specific tags for yourself (For example, blacklisting #gore or #eyestrain). DONT CENSOR WORDS IN TAGS! Stuff like “k!ll” and “s*icide mention” doesn’t screw with “The Algorythm”, because there is none! The only thing it does is make it impossible for people to avoid the tags they’ve blacklisted!

Posts can be as long as you want! Tumblr will automatically “hide” part of a post after a certain point under a “See More” button to prevent cluttering people’s dash (It might’ve even done it for this very post). Just by clicking on it, people will instantly be able to see the full unchanged post, which is very handy!

Anyone’s free to continue adding to this!

HEADS UP BOT PSA:

SO THIS IS A BOT:

so i've noticed a blog in the trafficblr tag "doysq". it is acting like a legit blog but it is actually stealing other people's art and trying to get you to click that "(Read More)", which is most likely taking you to a malicious site (and is not actually a readmore, but taking you off of tumblr.) to repeat: doysq is not a real blog, the art is stolen (likely automatically from the tags it is posting it with), and the Read More is actually a malicious link.

i have in fact already reported this as spam to tumblr and blocked it; you should as well. however, i'm also pulling this up for a second reason: i'm now going through my queue to make sure i didn't get got by this bot or a similar one. frequently when tumblr has a scam bot, it will have a large number of them under different names as the technology proliferates. watch out for both this blog and other similar blogs when scrolling through the tag.

i suspect the most easily noticed hallmark will be the atypical "Read More" link, which doesn't look like a real tumblr readmore! a real tumblr readmore looks like this in the dashboard view:

also, it's reposting art from other, previous tumblr posts, has a default profile picture, and has a username you may not recognize as the person with that artstyle! i point out the Read More link first, however, because it's the first thing you're likely to notice while browsing.

if you got got by this, don't feel bad; this is unusually well-crafted tumblr bot spam that is designed to look like a real post to get you to click the link. phishing is by FAR the most common type of successful cyber attack, and it works off of psychology that can trick anyone--even people who know to look for it. see, i also clicked the link, i just have adblockers and antivirus that stopped me well before i actually folllowed the link, and it made me realize i was likely being phished. i scrolled down further in the tag and saw the original art; there it was, proof this was a bot reposting it maliciously.

so yeah. be careful out there, and if you see this bot or other similar bots, block and report it!

Summary: Tired noble Prince Khun that's against the regime and resistance leader Bam/Viole

Khun spit onto the ground, and it earned him a boot to his chest.

“Noble scum, don’t spread your filth on our base!”

“It’s not a slight, you idiot,” Khun retorted with a grimace. “I’m not gonna swallow my bloody teeth. Maybe you shouldn’t make a mess of me if you’re worried about the clean up afterwards.”

Khun braced himself for another hit, but the door opened. He recognized the cold stare of the resistance leader, Jyu Viole Grace.

“Leave.”

“But sir, he’s—“

“I said. Leave.”

The guards scurried away until it was just the two of them in the room. Viole kneeled down and lifted Khun’s chin with a finger. Viole tsked. “I told them not to get too rough.”

“Is this how you treat all your moles?” snarked Khun.

The corner of Viole’s mouth quirked up. “No. But they don’t usually live as long as you have, prince Khun Aguero Agnis.”

Khun held still as the binds around his wrists were undone. He let out a sigh as Viole took his hands in his and rubbed the reddened skin with his thumbs. “I’m sorry. I told them to be gentle, but they despise anything to do with your father’s kingdom.”

“It’s okay. I’m used to it. I’m happy to see you again, Bam.”

Viole smiled warmly. It’d been a while since he heard that name. “Me too, Khun.” He hugged him tight, burying his nose in his messy hair. “So happy.”
