The Art Of Blooming In Your Own Time 🌸

“Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than to spend your life in the wrong room”

There’s this quiet pressure we carry—like we’re supposed to have it all figured out by a certain age. Go to school. Pick a path. Stick to it. Be successful. Be impressive. Be “on time.”

But what happens when life doesn’t follow the script?

That’s what I ran into during my first experience with college. I went in so sure of myself. I was majoring in criminal justice, planning to become a lawyer. I had it all mapped out—four years of undergrad, then law school, then a career. I was proud of having a plan. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who switched majors halfway through. That wasn’t going to be me… until it was.

By my second semester, something in me shifted. I realized: I don’t want this anymore. And I didn’t know what I wanted instead.

That unraveling felt like failure. Like shame. Like I was lost.

I had built so much of my identity around this idea of who I was supposed to become—and letting go of that felt like letting go of the version of me I thought would make everyone proud. But here’s the thing: the people who loved me weren’t disappointed in me for changing paths—they were only disappointed I hadn’t told them sooner.

That was such a turning point. To realize I had a support system who wanted me to chase my happiness—not theirs. That reminder helped shift everything. Because no one tells you this part: so many people change their paths. Over and over. And that’s okay.

When You Feel Behind

Even after stepping away from that path, the feeling of being behind lingered. I looked around and saw people my age who seemed so sure of themselves. They had careers. Direction. Clarity. And I felt like I was stuck at the start, questioning everything.

And that’s when the comparison set in.

You’ve probably heard the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy.” It is. Deeply. It strips away the beauty of your own timeline by convincing you you’re late. But here’s what I’ve realized: most people are just figuring it out as they go—even the ones who look put together on the outside.

Social media doesn’t show the confusion, the tears, the uncertainty. It just shows the highlight reel.

So if you’re in a space where you’re comparing your progress to someone else’s—pause. Come back to your path. Your timeline. Your story.

What Blooming Means to Me Now

Today, blooming feels like doing things because I want to—not because I feel pressured to “catch up.” It means allowing myself to grow, shift, pivot, and change, as many times as I need to.

It means doing things that light me up. Surrounding myself with what brings joy. Nourishing my mind so that ideas flow freely. And giving myself grace when things don’t happen as quickly as I hoped.

When I’m good mentally, I thrive creatively. I get clarity. I become more open to who I want to be. That’s what blooming feels like—it’s not about having it all figured out. It’s about having the space to become.

If You’re Feeling Behind… Read This

You are not late.

You haven’t missed your moment.

This isn’t a race—it’s your journey. Your process. Your path. And it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Give yourself permission to figure it out. To take your time. To shift. To start over. To try something completely new. And to believe—not just that you can do what you dream of—but that you will.

You are allowed to bloom in your own time.

Let’s Talk:

Have you ever felt like you were behind in life? What helped you shift your mindset or what are you still learning to let go of? Drop a comment, I’d love to hear from you! ☺️

@hantengudelulu @virtuousweakling

This is still how I see him, like, I can't picture anything else that could fit him better than this. He still looks like a child, but it's just the same as the others, and I can't take him seriously like that, which I know is dangerous, but just look....

Hantengu's wife would probably just baby him in a way of affection and he just going: "Well, it's not what I obviously deserve and should have, but only that way I get more attention, so it's a win/loss situation"

Words Can't Describe How Much Of A Whore I'd Be For That Version Of Karaku. The Front Bangs Makes Him

Words can't describe how much of a whore I'd be for that version of Karaku. The front bangs makes him look more attractive and older. That design was a masterpiece 👏👏👏

With the other one, he looked like a child, honestly.

Listen. I just love the last expressions of them. LIKE!?!?!

Sekido: Oh fuck... this is what I'm getting in... shit...

Aizetsu: Maybe.... maybe there are some humans that are terrifying... fuck.

Karaku: Hehehe... oh man, I'll be dead... I'll be dead as hell...

which of the clones would we soften up to first? because it's gonna happen eventually, right? I imagine it's Urogi > Karaku > Aizetsu > Sekido

Which Of The Clones Would We Soften Up To First? Because It's Gonna Happen Eventually, Right? I Imagine
Which Of The Clones Would We Soften Up To First? Because It's Gonna Happen Eventually, Right? I Imagine
Which Of The Clones Would We Soften Up To First? Because It's Gonna Happen Eventually, Right? I Imagine

Aizetsu then Karaku, i think.... Urogi and Sekido are spot on yeah!

Who you choose to pursue first is up to you. This is who gets all mushy for you in what order. once you have Urogi pining, youre hard locked into their route, sorries.

[rambling about losers softening up]

Urogi, he's just a needy guy who gets pretty hungry.. It's easy to set him off at first because while he's reckless, he's not about to trust a stranger! His problem is when optimism and overconfidence accidentally mix making him receptive to you. You can't do anything to him, he's upper four! but once he's in the palm of your hand, he'll refuse to leave. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and any kindness and tending make him really happy. Being with you brings a different kind of joy he never expected. It's warmer, kind of nerve wracking but exciting at the same time. Like he found his place with you. His heart flutters in a way that gets him so giddy, he can't help but want to reach out to you forever! The addictive tightness in his chest pushes him to crave you, since you're the only one who makes him feel this way!

Urogi softens up to you first because you're not a real threat to them. You're just a squishy weakling! A cute one! A reaaaally really cute one, like very cute.. too cute to eat...... DEFINITELY too cute to let anyone else eat!

The rest have their guard up to some degree and won't just throw their heart around at anybody. The world is against them after all!

Aizetsu is a tough nut because of his demotivation and overall apathetic sorrow. He makes no moves to progress or distance himself in the beginning, you're just someone, and he's stagnant. he's quicker to warm up to you than Karaku if you pamper and spoil him a little. like cleaning his spear, providing a place for him to rest, to wash up, or rescuing him from the others into a quieter room. Hell, if you get him food somehow, he stares at you with wide eyes and accepts the gift. It's not difficult to notice how Aizetsu melted after a while when he quietly follows you around like an cat that's constantly seeking affection. What shocks his clone counter parts is how he willingly volunteers to actually DO things for you. You make things so bright, he can't help that he's like a moth to a flame.

That's if you're doting to some degree, but Aizetsu comes around eventually either way, just because you provide shelter (that they technically forced their way into, but never mind that.) He does things with impressive efficiency the others were not expecting he was capable of. So what if he wants to show off a little..?

Karaku isn't easy because he really feels nothing for you aside for entertainment at first. the fact you're able to juggle all four of them amused him is all. He'd enjoy picking and teasing you, the others as well. Calling out when their faces would get red around you and cackling at them. It's difficult for him to tell the difference between pleasure and actual affection, but he never thinks on it too hard. Karaku probably even flirted with you or fought for your attention cause the others wanted it. When asked about you, like your name or interests, he deflected the question. What do you mean? how was he supposed to remember that?! He realized he fell when he's on his own and finds his mind wandering to you, thinking about the little things you do. How you eat, look when something mildly upsets you, when you're genuinely happy. then cusses under his breath cause now he fell for the same trick the others did. Oh, well, no use fighting off these feelings.

Karaku is like the play boy who falls for the first time, except he just needs time around you to actually fall. he accepts it cause this just makes things ten times more interesting. Now he's emotionally invested!! The others clown on him when he slips up and calls you by your name instead of a nickname.

Now for the toughest nut to crack since he's actively rejecting these feelings, Sekido! They rejected their humanity even as a human, why the hell is he going to allow himself to get attached to their food? Because he's as foolish as the idiots he's around, including you! He finds himself sputtering for words if you agree with him after venting, actively listening to him and trying to make his life easier. he's so... conflicted. Similar to the others, he doesn't deny his feelings once they've taken root. he might as well fight air if he were to try. And it's internally comforting to have someone capable of rangling his clones to some extent..

You'd need to have the favor of the others before Sekido fully allows himself to warm up to you. Like the ultra secret tough route of a dating sim..... but its so worth it when you get to see how he sends everyone away except for you so he can "think" on his own and insists that your presence is absolutely necessary.

This literally fits every one of my headcanons of every oc x Hantengu I make. Our girl is having a kitty cat, and it hates the boys' HARD

@hantengudelulu

@virtuousweakling

I can't get the scenario out of my head where the clones are just having a nice walk with their girl, and just suddenly, out of nowhere, they get ignored because "PUPPIES!!" and she just starts to play attention to some puppers while the boys are like "?????". I can't stop giggling with it in my head.

@hantengudelulu: About the perverted Hantengu fics you've mentioned...

Have you ever thought of Hantengu going as far as to be a yandere to his victims? You know, to give them more trauma and fear? I just kinda see him as the guy to unleash some untamed, terrifying, and traumatizing obsession from his clones on his victims? Maybe it can also be an act just to have the poor victim more terrified before doing what he originally planned to?

I don't know what's happening, but I'mma post some funny and chaotic things Hirakugo and Toyotama-hime did as kids/preteens.

Tried to summom out Gyokko like a snake with snake charmers. It did work and they laughed about it for years.

Secretly dated demons and people they normally shouldn't.

Terrorized and terrified five villages in one month.

Almost destroyed a fifth of the castle when they fight.

Are giant candy and sweet stealers. Hime goes for caramel and chocolate while Kugo goes for fruit candy and baked goods.

Sometimes, even go to terrorize the demon slayer corps with their bda's.

Have stolen a whole mine worth of gems and precious stone and every type jewelry.

Teamed up against Akaza and won a spar by tickling him to passing out.

Created a poison for demons that absolutely stops their regenerating ability forever if it mixes with wisteria.

Also created a potion that can allow demons to eat human food.

Just two chaotic demon children. @virtuousweakling @hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers

I can literally see him purring or growling in happiness at finally someone who shows him empathy. Poor girl will never escape.

@hantengudelulu

@virtuousweakling

Listen, I just know that if somehow, a demon, EVEN THE UPPERMOONS, get close to a human who gives them what they didn't get enough of in their human lives, they just won't leave it alone. It's kinda like an AU of mine where a demon can have a favorite human that they don't ever let go of, because why would they? It's THEIR human. Period.
