#because that could be the first one someone other than lum cared for him

I actually think Rumiko's writing and character development becomes more mature in her later works. (Well~maybe that's why they are not that buzzy, but I don't care) I really appreciate how Rinne and Mao dealing with their girls' anger, compared to Ranma and Inuyasha. Ranma: Always doesn't know why Akane is angry and further irritate her. He's somehow childish like most teenage boys. Inuyasha: Always doesn't know why Kagome is angry. They argue but will show their love after that. Rinne: Always doesn't know why Sakura is angry but he usually can realise that she's unhappy. He try to fix that in his clumsy ways. Mao: He doesn't know why Nanoka is angry at the beginning. He tried to pay more attention and show his care in his own ways (a bit old fashion & clumsy) They are not 100% perfect and dreamy like Shojo manga but they are so relatable and realistic. Yes...it's how straight men think, they seldom understand girls! And all these are related to the boys' past experience and background. I love how Rumiko designs their characters in a thoughtful way! Dunno if it's too long~but I can't wait to see your analysis :D
I pretty much agree with all you said!
One of the best things about Rumiko is how her works begin to be diverse and mature as time goes on. Someone can say that she matured in her narrative compared to her earlier works but I can agree to disagree because at the time we were seeing Ataru we were also seeing the beginning of Maison Ikkoku, same with Ranma's since we were also reading the development of Yuta in Mermaid Saga.
Every male character is a different approach and that is what I love about her. You can always explain what male character you prefer by the difference of writing alone in their respective stories based on their own background that made them like that.
Ataru: The unluckiest boy that wants love and attention since his parents often don't give it to him. Also, he is known as a loser because of his bad luck thanks to the day he was born, and more importantly, he was betrayed by his girlfriend Shinobu after meeting a handsome and wealthier version of him while he desperately tried to go far from Lum.
Godai: A young boy who is trying his best to enter college by studying the best way he can in a place they only care to party and have fun when he doesn't have time for that. He gets stressed by them and his studies, however, he manages to get a breather when he meets Kyoko, making her a thing he wants rather than what he needs (like his studies). We see him grow into a better young man that tries his best, is okay to not go by the book sometimes.
Ranma: A teenager that had the worst parental figure, Inuyasha at least had his mom for a period of time, Mao had his big brother figure and Rinne had his grandma and grandfather meanwhile Ranma was raised by Genma, a person that could exchange Ranma for food. One that made him have a curse and did not teach him how to act. That's why Ranma is rude at first, his character gets better as he interacts with other people that are not Genma. Is surprising how he didn't become like Genma but it did hurt his character in the beginning.
Yuta: This man lived a happy 18 years as a fisherman until the mermaid flesh screw his life. He seems to be raised with good values and he actually becomes better after seeing all the bad things the mermaid flesh gives people because he actively interacted with people every time he moved in a positive way.
Inuyasha: He lived with his mom for a short time and even with her around he faced discrimination and racism. To the point that the first human person that he trusted attacked him without believing him at all. That person sealed him and that's why Inuyasha isn't that easy in trusting people and even has painful lingering feelings from his past.
Rinne: He is the most persuasive since he actually was raised by a loving grandfather and grandmother. He knows his values and tries his best, being his flaw in the economic situation something that in this capitalist world is a thing that can make you miserable by trying to live day by day.
Mao: He was an orphan but had a good big brother figure, after he died tho he was alone and cursed. However, he still knew that he wanted to cure people and have vengeance on the cat spirit after his life was screwed. For 900 years he never actually had a close friend or person with whom he constantly interacted besides his doctor work or his occultist one un til he meet Nanoka. thanks to her and interacting constantly with other people when he began to learn and be more open.
So yeah, their backstory's gives them a reason to act like that and I love it because they still grow.
Sorry to take so long and thank you so much for your kind words!

The writings on his skin Shinsou Soulmate au
Soulmate au with communication via writing on their skin.
Oh god this is bad, I’m not happy with it at all. My original draft got deleted and I had to rewrite this at 2 am and I’m dead. I didn’t proof read it because I swear I’m gonna pass out so I’m so terribly sorry for butchering this. I love Hitoshi to the moon and back I hope he has the most wonderful birthday I LOVE HIM. Hope this doesn’t suck that much. Love ya. 💖💖💖💖💖
Rules 
warnings: mentions of bullying, some angst, fluff
Tumblr media
When Hitoshi was young he used to believe in soulmates. He couldn’t wait to meet the person that would fit him like a puzzle piece. In the early age of five, Shinsou Hitoshi was filled with positivity and hope. Hope that in the future he would get to enjoy all the things he liked with someone special. 
He was so excited for the first day of school. some of the kids from his neighborhood would be in his class; they didn’t like him they were really afraid of his quirk and would make fun of him all the time, but he didn’t care. He would make new friends and just ignore them. Stepping into the classroom he was met with about 18 new faces. 18 possible friends. A smile spread across his face as he made eye contact with one of the kids. The boy was playing with some LEGOs as Hitoshi made his way to him. 
“Hi I’m Shin-”
“AHH IT’S THE MONSTER!!!” the boy cried out as he stumbled backwards putting a respectful distance between them. The whole class turned to look at them and one by one all the kids slowly took a step back. They were all afraid of him. They all wanted nothing to do with him. They-they.
“He’s a villain!!!”
“Someone call All Might!!!!” 
More children joined the mocking and the cries for help. A group of boys, two of which he knew, walked up to him growls leaving their mouths as -even though Hitoshi was a tall child- they towered over him. Pushing him to the ground, one of them snatched his backpack emptying the contents on him before throwing it at a corner of the room. 
“Villains are not allowed here! Jihiko-sensei will kick you out, villain!” Right on cue, Jihiko-sensei stepped into the room, her eyes landing immediately at his wide eyed face and trembling form. 
“Boys that’s rude!” grabbing his backpack she started putting back his scattered supplies.“Apologise to Shinsou right now!”
Reluctantly the four boys bowed their heads, mumbling an apology before rising their noses up in the air and walking away, leaving a terrified Hitoshi on the floor. 
During the first day of school he knew that he wouldn’t be getting new friends and with that his doubts of even having a soulmate bloomed to life. 
Middle school was not as bad as elementary. He had gotten used to the teasing and the name calling. He couldn’t say that it didn’t bother him; it really did but he had learned not to show it. Even now, years after that fateful first day in kindergarten, he had no friends. All of them pushed him away, some more politely than others, leaving the word ‘villain’ lumming over their heads as they turned him down. He was fine though. No soulmate mark had appeared but at this point he couldn’t really be disappointed. After all, someone like him -a monster, a villain- didn’t deserve to have a soulmate.
It was a normal day in his boring middle school. So boring that Hitoshi had turned to doodling on his arm. It was not a habit, he hadn’t done it before since he saw the doodles as tattoos and he didn’t want to give others more reasons to call him evil. Plus he liked his arms clean. But he was bored and it was hot and he wasn’t functioning correctly. At some point during his history class, he fell asleep. He woke up to a light tickling sensation running up his arm and a dim shine appeared on a spot near his wrist. 
‘You can’t draw….’ 
He blinked once, twice expecting the words to disappear but they didn’t. They didn’t fade, they were real. Bold black letters stared back at him as he marveled at the sight. He … he had a soulmate and he could actually speak to them. Snapping out of his trance he scrambled for a pen and thought of a response. He didn’t wanna seem desperate. Deciding on sarcasm he wrote beside their own message. 
‘Well excuse me Picasso’
 He waited for a response for what felt like centuries. This was amazing, incredible, astonishing all of those long pretty words writers use to describe their female characters in poems. Would they want to meet him? Did they live nearby? Were they the same age? So many questions swirled inside his head he almost missed the mandala pattern that appeared on his wrist. The design became more vibrant and visible as the minutes ticked by. It was beautiful. 
‘What’s your favorite color?’
‘Purple….why?’
‘Be patient sweet soulmate of mine, you’ll see.’ 
His heart skipped a beat. Oh lord he hadn’t even met them yet and he was already getting butterflies in his stomach. Slowly purple highlights started to appear on his skin, matching the black outlines perfectly. They truly were a Picasso. 
‘There now you have true art on your hand.’
‘Confident are we?’
‘Only when it comes to inter-soulmate communications.’ 
He liked them. He knew that from the first moment. A smile took its place on his face as he saw new letters forming on his skin, warmth blooming in his chest as he stared at their conversation. Soulmate...maybe he wasn’t so lonely after all. 
UA High. This is it. He was finally here. A place where heroes were made. It’s his time to show all those pesky brats that called him a villain that he could be a hero. A fine one at that. Getting placed in the general department was a disappointment and kind of a let down. He thought he did well on the exam. Apparently, having a grape quirk was more hero material than his brainwash. He wasn’t fazed though and neither was his soulmate. They hadn’t stopped speaking since their first conversation back in middle school. His day would start with a small, sloppy good morning scribbled on his wrist. They were there for him whenever he needed someone to rant to and he was always their shoulder to cry on. Well inky shoulder? They had agreed to keep their identities a secret along with their gender leaving everything to the hands of fate. 
‘She shall bring us together, babe.’ They always called him that, not that he minded. 
‘Well she should hurry up kitten.’ And he in return he given them that pet name. They never complained. He hadn’t mentioned which school he applied to, only that he would be becoming a hero. So when they mentioned something about a Bakugou Katsuki he was intrigued. 
‘Yeah he is in my class. Super annoying 0/10 would not recommend.’
 They went to the same school. What a coincidence. Maybe fate did work fast. Choosing his next words wisely he replied. 
‘So you are in class 1-A huh? Funny.’
‘How do you know that?????’
‘I’m in the general department that’s why.’
There was no response for some time. He knew Aizawa was a harsh teacher when it came to discipline, he gets a taste of his discipline every afternoon at six,  so he didn’t write anything else. Later that day, during his training, the familiar tingle distracted him. Glancing down on his arm, he totally missed Aizawa’s capture tool coming straight for his leg. Before he knew it, he was swiped off his feet and started hanging upside down from a branch of a nearby tree. 
“You are distracted Shinsou!” Aizawa sighed below him. Hitoshi read the message quickly before turning his attention back to his teacher. 
“I’m sorry Aizawa-sensei.” 
“Yeah yeah just don’t be like that during your training with my class. You remember that it starts tomorrow right?” Aizawa said as he got him down, letting him fall with a loud thud. 
“Yes sensei I know.”
“Great, now go get some rest I don’t want you passing out the moment you step in the forest.” 
Shinsou had never gathered his things quicker. Draping his jacket over his shoulders he sprinted to his dorm, an idea forming in his mind. He didn’t know if you wanted to meet him yet but he sure as hell wanted to see you. Grabbing a pen from his desk he scribbled under your previous message. 
‘Can you draw one of your mandalas on my wrist?’ 
Y/N was late. Like super late. She had missed her first alarm and had only gotten up because of the pounding at her door. She had stayed up the previous night drawing something for her soulmate. She kept messing up and redoing her work one too many times. Reaching her classroom she slid the door open and tiptoed to her seat seeing as Aizawa-sensei hadn’t gotten out of his sleeping back yet. Sitting down she let out a sigh of relief as her friend leaned over to her. 
“Late night with your soulmate???” She sang teasingly which only made Y/N roll her eyes. 
“Shut up Sky!” Soon they were instructed to put on their hero costumes and meet their homeroom teacher at the edge of the mini forest right in the outskirts of the school grounds. 
Skipping out of the girls locker room she looked down at her wrist where the mandala from last night looked back at her. She ran her fingers over the lines wishing she could see the design on the recipients skin.  
“Come on man! We’re gonna miss the intro move your ass!” Sky grabbed her arm and yanked her forward, ruining her moment of longing as they made their way to the forest. 
Aizawa-sensei was accompanied by another person. A boy almost at his height with vibrant purple hair and the most tired eyes Y/N had ever seen. He was staring at the class giving small nods when someone asked him something. 
“This is Shinsou Hitoshi. Most of you will know him from the sports festival, he fought the problem child.” Midoriya hid his face in his palms at the name. “He will be joining the hero course come next year so have fun training with him.”
Shinsou raised his hand to scratch his neck, a nervous habit Y/N concluded, when she saw the intertwining lines on his wrist. The purple stood out. It was more vibrant on her design, slightly losing it’s shine on his pale skin possibly because he received it. Was that? Was he? 
“Who wants to pair up with him?” at that her arm shot up instantly, without even thinking. Aizawa motioned for the rest of the students to find their partner as she made her way to him. He was taller up close, her head barely reaching his chin. Extending her drawn on hand she greeted him. 
“Y/N L/N, nice to finally meet you Shinsou.”
Bonus:
The house was quiet. Oddly quiet. Hitoshi let his bag drop next to the coat hanger as he took off his shoes. The TV could be heard playing from the living room but no voices accompanied it. Where was she? Making his way to the kitchen he found a bowl full with steaming soup that looked like it had just been made. He left it on the table, his first priority being to find the girl he was looking for. Slowly walking up the stair he heard a humming coming from the room down the hall. 
Once at the top he made his way to the pastel violet door, grasping the knob and pushing it open. He was met with the back of his soulmate, humming the soft tune he had heard earlier as she rocked steadily back and forth. The mess of purple hair on her shoulder raised its head revealing those stunning e/c eyes he adored so much. 
“Daddy…” the little girl in Y/N’s arms let out a low sleepy mumble. Turning around she saw her husband standing in the doorway of the nursery, a smile adorning his face as he looked at Kei. Kei, at the sight of her father, started doing grabbing motions trying to leave her mother’s embrace. Hitoshi let out a low chuckle as he took the two year old in his arms, letting her wrap her chubby arms around his neck and nuzzle into his neck. 
“Happy birthday Toshi.”
Shinsou Hitoshi could have never imagined he would be here today, holding his daughter as his soulmate stared back at him. He was happy, beyond happy actually. Words could not express. Extending an arm out to her, she took it tucking herself under his chin as one of her hands came to rest on the back of her baby. Kissing both of his girls, he squeezed them closer to him.  
 “Thank you kitten. For everything.”

Overwhelming
A/N: These two are the best way to project negative emotions.
Theme: Insecurities
Fandom: Urusei Yatsura
Pairing: Ataru and Lum
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
It was only a kiss
But why does it hurt so much?
She was perfectly okay today, her Darling has let down his guard enough for her to hold his hand in public, it was all going great.
She just went for ice cream, feeling happy because this made her think they were on a date.
“That guy looks amazing today!” A girl with brown hair said besides her.
“I can’t believe he’s on a date this time, he was craving for my attention a month ago!” The girl with blue hair said, probably her friend.
They were talking about someone else, there was no way…
“No way! prove to me that he was interested in you!”
“Alright, is a bet!”
She just finished from paying the ice creams and turned around, that girl was running towards him.
She kissed him.
Lum froze.
The scene made her heartfelt stabbed by reality.
Tears were running down her face
She let go of the ice creams as she flew in the opposite direction.
“LUM!” His voice sounded so far.
For the first time, she felt like a coward
but today she wanted to escape
__________________________________________________________
She cursed herself, she hated the days where she could feel more emotional than usual, the ones that made a little thing look like a massive rock.
He never let me kiss him before
Stop, the other girl stole a kiss from him, it wasn’t his fault.
He always dismisses  my affections
Stop, he was caught off guard.
Does he even love me?
STOP
She knows that he loves her, she knows his character so well,  She knew that it was an accident, she knew it! so why does still hurt?
Why 
Why
She looked around his room, flying here was like an instinct now, it was her home.
“I need to calm down, I am not thinking like myself right now” She said to herself, yeah it was for the better to go back to her UFO, to calm herself.
Why does the emotional phase had to happen today?
Why?
She blamed her alien cycle for her emotions, why didn’t she had it like the human girls, why didn’t she had it in those days? 
“Lum!”
________________________________________________________
Ataru was doing his best on being more open about his feelings for Lum, after his denial for years he finally decided to be with her, he’s scared of being happy, he’s not used to the happiness to last long.
But she loves him and he loves her.
He needed to stop being so unsure, so little by little he became to show how much he really cares about her, he needed to stop evading the truth.
He stopped taking seriously the girl hunting a year ago, and he still pretended to go on ones because it was the routine, they always rejected him anyway.
She became precious to him, to the point he was scared, the moment he admitted that he was in love with her was  overwhelming, he wanted to do so many things with her; he wanted to make her smile, he wanted to make her happy, he wanted to kiss her, he wanted to take her out on a date.
It was so much, the things he wanted to do crushed him like an avalanche.
But he needed to begin slow, he needed to.
 So he took her out and they were having a good time.
Until a girl kissed him
And he was so shocked that he didn’t have time to react.
He only reacted when he saw tears.  
Lum was crying.
He separated himself from the other girl, ignoring her completely.
“You sure had changed A-”
“LUM!” He screamed at the oni girl, who looked heartbroken, she then flew away and he followed her.
Why is she crying? Why didn’t she just Zap me?
“LUM!”
_____________________________________________________________
“Darling….”
“Why didn’t you zap me?”
“Eh?”
“Why are you crying?”Ataru said” I didn’t kiss her back!”
“Darling, do you love me?”  Her voice sounded faint
“Lum, we been over this!”
“Why did you left your guard off with her?” Lum said” when with me you turn away by reflex”
“It was unexpected Lum” Ataru didn’t like the tone of her voice.
“Yeah, like our ‘relationship'” Lum could feel the words slipping off her mouth, she knew it was wrong, she knew what she says wasn’t true, but she couldn’t stop,  it flowed like water” If  I can call it like one”’
“Lum?”
“Ataru, why are you fooling me like this?” Tears began to form in her eyes again, saying his name like that felt wrong in her mouth but the words were already out from her tongue, it was too late to stop it now” why do I  even keep up with this when I am not even sure if you love me”
Ataru was petrified.
“I thought so, I will go to my UFO now, you can call that girl if you want, I am tired”
She began to float a bit, she needed to go before hurting him more, she needed to flee, she didn’t want him to be the victim of her state, she needed to calm the fast beatings of her heart that clouded her mind.
And then she felt his hand in her wrist, he brought her in a fast movent to his arms, hugging her tightly.
“Da-”
“Why are you saying those things?! ” Ataru said” You know me better than anyone Lum! ”
“HOW CAN I BE SURE WHEN YOU DON’T TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL?!”
He only hugged her more.
“The girl hunting still exists, you never let me kiss you,  you must hat-”
He separated from her a little and kissed her, his hands went over her back. he never was good with words, so he kissed her senseless, the love he feels for her, he leaves all those intense feelings that she made him feel in that kiss, he brings her closer to him as an instinct, her body was now crushing against his.
He knew he was coming strong but this wasn’t his pervert side acting, it was his honest side taking over him, the time he kept him hidden only made it overwhelming and intense when he finally was able to accept it; he wanted her, only her, to be with him forever.
She responded with the same desire, it was hot and he realized he was beginning to want more, he put a hand on her beautiful hair, making her lips closer to his one’s, he could now taste the salt of her tears.
Was she always full of insecurities?  was that his fault?
They separated after a while,  needing air.
“This is the reason I hadn’t kissed you” Ataru said with his voice hoarse,  still feeling hot.
Lum looked back at him, cheeks all red, looking gorgeous enough to make Ataru almost gave in to his desire to kiss her again.
“I barely can control myself when I am with you Lum, you’re the world to me” Ataru held her hands” It’s just that being so stubborn and in denial for so long affected me,  I barely can control my hands now when I am with you, I want to touch you, to kiss you senseless”
“Then why-”
“Because I didn’t want to come out so strong” Ataru breathed “after how I been with you,  I wanted to begin slowly, I wanted to… date you as it should be”
“We’re on a date today?” Her amused tone caught him off guard.
“Yes”
Lum relaxed a little and put her head on his chest, she could hear his heartbeat,  he put his arms around her.
And her overflowing emotions were calmer as her heartbeat felt faster.
Both of them were idiots.

4. least favorite character from your favorite anime / best ending of an anime you’ve watched?? 22. any endings that you would rewrite?
@fusiera
ANIME QUESTIONS MEME- ACCEPTING;
Thanks so much for sending me more asks!! I really appreciate it a lot!!
4. least favorite character from your favorite anime
Since all the characters in “Kino’s Journey” are mostly one off characters, I’m gonna talk about another favorite series I love, “Princess Tutu.” And the least character I enjoyed was… Mytho.
Tumblr media
Now, maybe it isn’t fair of me to choose him. After all, his whole character existence is for Princess Tutu / Ahiru to try to achieve his heart shards back to him in order to feel his emotions again that the Raven shattered and sealed away. I can understand that he’s emotionless and probably has some memory loss in the process of it and that’s fine. What I’m not fine with is making him not suitable in his every day life. He’s met Fakir and Rue since they were little kids so I’m sure they would’ve taught him the facts of life in order to live in their society. But, once we get to their teen years, Mytho is so dependable on them it’s ridiculous.
It just seems like he also lost shards of his mind to gain information in order to learn new things from people. He couldn’t even put on his pants in a few scenes when he was next to his window. Even his common sense of being careful of the dangers around him weren’t making him aware of his surroundings either. It just felt like Fakir and Rue were taking care of a child than someone their own age. Maybe I wasn’t aware on the side effects of the curse on him but it just irritating on how he was acting in the series. I also wasn’t too pleased on how Mytho is probably much older than Rue since she was a child when they first met and he apparently doesn’t “age”  but it still makes it creepy age gap. Or any of the pairings involving with him. And it’s a shame cause the focus is on him getting his heart back and he’s the most boring and forgettable character in the show.
Not to say I HATE Mytho. It’s not like that all. In fact, the way he grows towards the end is really quite fascinating. We see him change over time, especially in the second act of the series, and get his emotions back so he could return to being the valiant prince he was. Just because he’s the least character I enjoyed doesn’t mean I despise him. If anyone enjoys him, that’s cool! Keep enjoying his character cause this is my silly opinion and I still want people to enjoy the series for what it is.
4. best ending of an anime you’ve watched
I know I haven’t mentioned this series in my previous posts but it is one of my favorite animes ever. In fact, it was actually the first series Rumiko Takahashi ( creator of the famous series “Ranma ½” & “Inuyasha” ) had created at the age of 21 and that series is called “Urusei Yatsura.” And I choose it’s amazing series end for my choice as the best ending and also known as the fifth film,“Urusei Yatsura: The Final Chapter!”
Tumblr media
I’m not sure if the finale includes in it’s films series but I’m counting it anyways! This ending had me over joyed of how well done it was! If you don’t know the main storyline it goes like this:
An alien race known as the Oni arrive on Earth to invade the planet. Instead of taking over the planet by force, the Oni give humans a chance to fight for the rights to the planet by taking part in a competition. The competition is a variant of the game of tag (literally “the game of the Oni” in Japanese), in which the human player must touch the horns on the head of the Oni player within one week. The computer-selected human player is Ataru Moroboshi, a lecherous, unlucky and stupid high school student from the Japanese city of Tomobiki, and the Oni player is Princess Lum, daughter of the leader of the Invasion force.
Despite his initial reluctance to take part in the competition, Ataru becomes interested in the game when he meets Lum. When the competition begins, Lum surprises everyone by flying away and Ataru finds himself unable to catch her. Before the last day of the competition, Ataru’s girlfriend Shinobu Miyake encourages Ataru by pledging to marry him if he wins. On the final day of the competition, Ataru wins the game by stealing Lum’s bikini top, which prevents her from protecting her horns in favor of protecting her modesty. In celebrating his victory, Ataru expresses his joy at being able to get married; however, Lum misinterprets this as a proposal from Ataru and accepts on live television. Despite the misunderstanding, Lum falls in love with Ataru and moves into his house.
It’s one insane series but it’s why I love it. There isn’t a main plot other than Lum and Ataru’s relationship from time to time but it’s such a fun series that I couldn’t possibly spoil any of the enjoyment. With that being said, the fifth film aka “THE FINAL CHAPTER” is completely adapted from the manga and it’s animated so well!
* SPOILERS*
Lupa, yet another one of Lum’s fiancés, arrives on the scene, and Lum and Ataru must repeat the game of tag played out from the first episode of the television series, or the Earth will be infested with mushrooms larger than buildings.
Further, should Ataru lose, Lum will leave forever and everyone’s memories will be changed so that they don’t remember she, or her friends, were ever there. Finally, Lum refuses to allow Ataru to win unless he says to her those three words, “I love you”, that he has steadfastly refused to say over the entire series.
Tumblr media
In the beginning, Ataru’s cold-hearted towards Lum and sees her as a nuisance preventing him from girl hunting. Thought he may not seem to really care for her, it’s crystal clear Lum is the only one he truly shows sincere feelings for. And when faced with the prospect of losing Lum, Ataru goes all-out to try to prevent it from happening, even at the expense of his own health.
Near the end of the series, in the story introducing Inaba and from the OVA “Inaba the Dreammaker,” he decides to protect the future where he and Lum get married after he sees how happy she is in this future. In Ataru’s own ideal future, he had a harem containing every female in the cast but he decided to abandon it after he learned Lum would not be with him, further signifying the love he has for her.  The fact that he sacrifices to rescue Lum is enough to prove he truly cares. Also, when she leaves for an extended period of time, he becomes very depressed and lonely in her absences.
In the “Final Chapter”, when he’s faced of the prospective of losing Lum and all of his memories of her, he refuses to give in to her request of a proper love declaration, only because he wants to say it properly without being forced into it so there’s more sincerity to how he feels about her. But, the fact that * SPOILERS * Ataru saved her former horns in his hand before time runs out, proves to Lum his love for her without words.
This film is just fantastic in every way possible. Mostly if you become a big fan of the series and just the great out come this will bring out. I honestly didn’t expect such a well made movie for this type of series but it blew my expectations!! As I recommended you many other series, I highly recommend you watch the series “Urusei Yatsura.” I know it has such a long run of episodes, OVAs. and films but the pay off is very much worth it!
22. any endings that you would rewrite:
There’s one ending that I would rewrite and that is “Fruits Basket.”
Tumblr media
If you don’t know what “Fruits Basket” is, let me explain the plot:
After the accident in which she lost her mother, Tohru decides to live with her grandfather. Renovations on the house and uncooperative and unkind family members cause her to move out of her grandfather’s house and becomes homeless. Tohru begins living in a tent and starts supporting herself. That is, until she finds a home inhabited by her popular classmate Yuki Sohma and his cousin Shigure. After being invited to stay with them, Tohru discovers something big about the Sohmas.
The Sohmas live with a curse. Twelve members of the family are possessed by spirits of the Chinese zodiac and turn into their zodiac animal when they are weak, under stress, embarrassed, or when hugged by someone of the opposite sex.
When Tohru discovers the Sohmas’ secret, she promises to keep it a secret and is allowed to continue on living with them. Although the Sohmas’ curse is deeper and darker than Tohru realized, her presence and her acceptance of them soon becomes a large, positive influence on those possessed by the zodiac. She sets out to break the curse and, on the way, meets and discovers each member of the Sohma family. Each has a different personality, just like the animals in the Chinese zodiac. One by one, Tohru’s existence changes the Sohma clan’s lives forever.
Onto to the ending, and I’m gonna put a spoiler warning in case no one’s seen this anime:
*SPOILERS:*
After Tohru asks Shigure permission to speak with Akito, the head of the family, he talks to her privately, mentioning that Akito bears the core of the curse and does not have very long to live. Yuki, Shigure, and Hatori accompany Tohru to the Sohma main residence to see Akito. After an initially tame exchange, Akito attacks her as he grabs her hair in a rage after Tohru is unable to say why she came, but Yuki and Shigure restrain him from hurting her further. However, she begins to feel sympathetic, explaining that he still has a life to live. Releasing his grip on her, Akito eventually realizes that Tohru accepts the Sohma family curse. The series ends on a bright future with Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo back at the residence where they live.
Now the reason why I would change this, or possibly more aspects of the series, is to match up what the creator had intended.  The anime adaptation was produced while Takaya (creator) injured her wrist, since she was heavily involved in the adaptation. But, she would clash with director Akitaro Daichi over every little detail. Studio Deen decided to reject Takaya’s feedback, and in turn, she has blocked all attempts at a second season or a remake.
It’s a shame that we never got a second season cause this is such a heartwarming series that I cherish greatly. And while looking back on it now that I’ve read the manga, it did stray away from it’s manga counterparts. Several changes were made such as Tohru’s first meeting with Momiji and all references to Tohru’s baseball cap, never happen. The anime makes no mention that Yuki or Kyo have met Tohru’s mother or that Kyo blames himself for her death.
While the anime faithfully adapts most of the characters from the manga series, it does make some changes. In the manga, Momiji is half-German and half-Japanese and regularly speaks German, particularly when he first meets Tohru. In the anime, no German is spoken at all towards her. Shigure’s darker side is toned down in the anime as he makes in the manga that hint at a hidden agenda are left out, along with most of his early scenes with Akito.
In the anime, Akito is biologically male and will die at a young age because of the curse, while in the manga, *SPOILERS*  Akito is biologically female but brought up as male and is not dying. This served as a shocking plot twist in the manga, since almost everybody thought that Akito was male.  Additionally, Isuzu “Rin” Sohma, the Horse, and Kureno Sohma, the Rooster, are never mentioned or shown in the anime. Finally, the curse is not lifted in the anime because it only covers the first third of the manga, at the most, and the happy ending does not occur until the series is finished.
Tumblr media
If it could be rewritten, I would have it connect more towards the main source material than a “Anime only ending” that most studios did at the time or even now as well. Again, it’s unfortunate that it didn’t end on good terms with the creator cause I LOVE this series and I hope maybe in the future we’ll get that second season or a possible reboot. It’s just too amazing not to adapt into anime.
I also highly recommend you check out this series as well. Especially with the English dub cause it’s just OUTSTANDING! It was one of the first series when I got into anime and I’m so glad it influenced me the way I look at life and people around me. It’s very sincere and compassionate. Not to mention it can be funny as heck as well. But, give it a shot if it’s your type of show! You won’t be disappointed!!

It's that time of year again! Here are my top photos of 2017! 1. I was 6 months into my relationship with this wonderful fella and we spent the day exploring the neighbourhood. He always loved taking pictures of me and us together. I usually hate when people take pictures of me but something about him just calms me. I didn't even care that there was a camera in my face, I was just happy to be with him. 2. This photo was taken in 2016, but only got developed and sent to me this year. This was taken by my fella when we first met. Like I said, he loved taking pictures of me. I am completely comfortable showing off my lingerie, but I never had someone take photos of me in it before. My heart was racing in this moment but I knew I was safe with him. 3. I made a new friend this year and we got really close! Here we went to a carnival that I used to go to when I was little, but hadn't been to in a long time. We won prizes, ate delicious food and pet animals! I'm thankful we got to make lovely memories together before she had to move. 4. I spent the night with my favourite people. My soulmate and two very special friends of mine. They all had just moved in together and to celebrate, I bought apothic crush red wine. Without anyone noticing, I drank the whole bottle and then a couple glasses of their wine. For the first time, I threw up from drinking too much. My fella was right there to take care of me. Apparently I begged for a bath so next thing I knew we were in the tub together. My friends came to check on me and walked in on a drunk lum in a tub! One took a photo and the other drunkenly unclogged the sink. Afterward we went to the park and stayed out till 4:20, just so we could dab. I woke up the next morning with no hangover. 5. I went to a 5 day hippie music festival with my soulmate. Things got tense and our relationship reached a new level. I became more comfortable talking to him about all sorts of things and I think if this trip didn't happen, our relationship would be different. 6. I went out with some friends I don't get to see much. One of whom I haven't seen in years. We all went to a café that has lots of board games to play and we had lots of laughs! I also had the best burger of my life here. 7. I went on a road trip across the country with my fella and his wonderful mother. She was so sweet and made sure we had a great time! She took us to the bodies exhibit because she knows how fascinated I am with human anatomy. We took this photo because my fella was trying to distract me from a photo of a scary shark (which is a big fear of mine). I love him so much. 8. There was a really neat New Orleans jazz band playing at this outdoor night market. I met up with my friends there and we had a lovely time! We ate delicious food, listened to great music and found lots of neat items. We got back home and drank a little together. They got very tired and passed out and I took a nice selfie of the three of us. The trio! 9. 2017 was the year I did the most burlesque I could've ever dreamed. Last year I did one show. This year I've done 5 and I have at least 3 already lined up next year. And I owe part of my confidence to pursue burlesque to the woman in this photo. I refer to her as my burlesque mom as she gave me my first paid burlesque job and so much encouragement. Here, she finally came to see me perform in a Halloween show and she was so proud of me. 10. Because of the confidence I gained from doing a few burlesque performances, I figured I should try to expand into doing more than just stripteases. Here I was a lingerie model with a couple other people. I walked through an audience wearing nothing but a bra and panties and I felt so cute! What a year it's been! I can't wait to see how 2018 treats me. I tag @night-of-the-undead @notamurderofcrows-shh @archaeis @vesuvius-xiii to do the same! It's nice to reflect!

﹄☆✮Biography:
﹄☆✮Parenting: His parents were great, they loved him to pieces. He was always well-taken care off and often times babied as a child. His father always made sure to spend time with him at least once a day and wasn't shy about telling Callum he had loved him. The same with his mother, Cystennin always took their main priority over all. ﹄☆✮Upbringing: Christian Ideals and Morals, but not strict. Paganistic morals and ideals. ﹄☆✮Infancy: Callum was good baby, his mother and father didn't drop him or anything. He was very well behaved and intelligent. It didn't seem to take him much time to pick up on things and learn quickly. ﹄☆✮Childhood: Callum was quite reserved as a child. He liked to be by himself and just explore the world around him at times. He was endlessly fascinated by anything he could see. ﹄☆✮Adolescence: In his early teens Callum had started getting more interested in other things, these interests lead him to work on things with his hands. Taking apart stuff, or building something from nothing, almost. He really got into all sorts of sciences and such. His classwork often times would suffer because he was just never interested in it. He'd rather learn things on his own, of his own want, rather than that of a teacher's. He also began to get into writing at this time and started working on his first book. ﹄☆✮Adulthood: Callum is only 19 and has just started his adult life, but he has accomplished plenty in this short time. He has sold a relatively successful book of a series he's still working on today. Though between writing sessions he helps bands touring with their technical work. Which he also enjoys doing. ﹄☆✮Coming of Age: Callum has always had a very responsible attitude about certain things, growing up. But the moment he 'grew up' is when he moved out and started living away from his parents. ﹄☆✮Evolution: Callum hasn't really changed much at all growing up, he has kept his innocent, reserved, curiousness throughout the years. For the most part he has become more childish and playful the more the years go by. ﹄☆✮Current Residence: Sunnyvale, California ﹄☆✮Funds: He has $50 on him, $3569.48 At home, $2400 at the bank ﹄☆✮Home: His apartment is relatively neat, but does have some mess here and there, like clothing and books, and such. ﹄☆✮Neighborhood: Callum thinks they are friendly, but he's never really talked much with his neighbors. Though the entire place is very well kept since it's a very decent place to live. ﹄☆✮Transportation: Kawasaki Ninja ﹄☆✮License Plate Number:
﹄☆✮Occupation: Author/ Technician/ Back up Vocals  ﹄☆✮Work Ethnic: Callum works enthusiastically, he loves what he's doing.

﹄☆✮IQ: 127 ﹄☆✮Education: His parents didn't trust schools to give him a proper education. Though they had sent him to one they viewed as 'fair' while also having him doing extra work at home every so often, outside of his regular school work. ﹄☆✮School: Callum's school was a private school so it could be seen as better than at the very least most public schools. ﹄☆✮Grades: Callum got the highest grades just as much as he did the lowest, he didn't care much for school at all. ﹄☆✮Special Education: Early in life Callum skipped two grades. ﹄☆✮Social Stereotype: He never really had one. ﹄☆✮Degrees: Highschool ﹄☆✮Intelligence: Interpersonal ﹄☆✮Extracurricular Activities: Art, Music, Home Ec

Pokemon Moon Namelocke Episode 9: Gone Grocery Shopping
~ Current Party ~
Kitten / A. Persian / lv 36
Bean / Vaporeon / lv 35
Capricorn / Shiny Gogoat / lv 35
DOGE / Furfrou / lv 33
Mis Gender / Illumise / lv 37
FILIS / Talonflame / lv 36
- - - - - -
Tumblr media
I am in the mood to begin this episode with a good ol’ fashioned scuffle ! Though this guy better not have Hariyama..... I don’t even know if poor FIlIS could handle a hit from a Hariyama...... yes I’m still bitter about losing Kyuubi.
Nah he had an Absol..... not much of a scuffle since Kitten basically ended it with a fake out and a U-turn.
Speaking of scuffles I hear there is trouble at ye ol Malie Garden, so that’s where I’ll be heading next.
Tumblr media
Kukui please.... in a battle where you only use 4 moves don’t tell them what moves you’ll be using..... and don’t lie you’re just going to send out Rockruff and spam protect.
Tumblr media
Oh my it’s ya boy Guzma..... I am so hype for this upcoming battle.  Slay me Guzma slay me.  I like Guzma for the same reason I like Gladdion.  I like Gladdion’s hoodie.... I like Guzma’s sweat pants.  So comfortable looking.
To get real for a second, whoever, during this conversation I was doing some thinking about Kukui and he might actually be my favorite Pokemon professor ever.  I mean sure he isn’t in his lab doing research he is out on this adventure and pursuing a career in the Royal Rumble, but he is a professor that specializes in Pokemon moves so it makes sense he is out and about trying to get a Pokemon League going and getting involved with some battles.  
He is doing research without hiding in a lab expecting a ten-year-old to fill out a Pokedex.
Professor Sycamore was a Mega Evolution expert, but wasn’t spamming mega evolve as much as me.  Really what did he even do other than act rapey towards my female OC?  Kukai is in there doing stuff.
I’ve been worried about this fight for a while because Guzma’s Golispod is no push over...... but then the idiot went ahead and used swords dance twice on a pokemon with emergency exit.  Okay....
I got some bug weaknesses on my team still so I sent out DOGE who took care of this battle with nothing more than a work up and head butt.  (I need to find that Return TM) I made sure to award DOGE with a rainbow bean again for his efforts.
After the battle Kukui gave me a Decidum Z..... too bad Mr. Owl has been on Hiatus for a long time.  Doesn’t he know this a Nuzelocke.... where is my Gogoatium Z?
Tumblr media
In honor of DOGE’s triumph I gave him another hair cut to rock out this episode.
Now it’s off to Route 12 to go on the search for some more plot and an encounter.  On Route 12 I caught Lefty the Mudbray.
Tumblr media
I named it after one of many the Beanie Babies I use to have.  The democrat donkey Beanie Baby.  Oh man.... it doesn’t look like anything really great is happening in the hasty box.... cept for maybe a Lucario.
Tumblr media
Wound up with Ducky Momo the Psyduck.  Have no idea what this name means, but at least it has a few moves and I’ve given up on the idea of bumpounder ever being a Vaporeon replacement so I can’t complain.
Went back to route 12 to clear it out some trainers.  Kitten is almost level 40 and that’s just from doing it’s current job of using fake out and then U-turning it out of there.  I’ll probably be using this strategy on that pesky Ghost Trial whenever I get to that point.
Apparently Cosmog is in danger.... I mean good.  Is living in Lilly’s bag really what you would call a life?  It could use a little danger to switch things up a bit.
Got a few more encounters to exchange.  I had to catch a couple of Karps with repeat and quick balls.... is this what it feels like to be one of the human dumpster fires that throws that crap into Wonder Trade?
Tumblr media
From the Secluded Shore we have Catfish the Magikarp with an Impish nature.  It was exchanged for...
Tumblr media
Not Bun the Pikachu..... more like Not Fun.... Impish is a horrible nature for a Pikachu and this coming from someone that rocks an adamant Raichu.
Tumblr media
From Route 13 we got Fillet the Magikarp with a Naughty Nature.... a box I’ve been visiting a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is a tie between Fuc* me the Crabrawler and Cotton the Cottonee.
RNG tells me Cotton, and that’s fine because I don’t like how that Crabrawler is looking at me even though I’m literally drowning in grass types right now.
Tumblr media
Seems like we are going back to the ‘Naughty’ Box with Walda the Raticate I caught in Tapu Village.
The exchange is....
Tumblr media
oooooooooo Pegasus the Ponyta.... I don’t think I’ve actually used a Ponyta since gen 1 so it’d be interesting if I get to use it this locke.
Now back to the plot!
Tumblr media
I will once again be a Team Skull apologist and believe this grunt is doing nothing wrong at the moment.  If you see something say something.  That’s all he is doing to keep the community safe.
With that out of the way time for the big episode scuffle as I go through the abandoned grocery store to take on a big Mimikyu.  Glad this is my second time playing this game.  First time that Mimikyu almost gave me a heart attack when I found it with the pokefinder.  
Time for some champion strats.  Fake out won’t work so let’s just u-turn it out of there to break it’s disguise!
Tumblr media
Good thing Kitten likes me and U-turn got it right out!  Mimikyu outspeeds me and play rough hurt really bad.  I am going to have to switch into something that can take a hit.  Mis Gender knows T-wave so I just need to slow it down.
Haunter got called in for the assist.... Mis Gender can take a play rough but not two attacks from two different Pokemon... and this strategy was in vain, because apparently Mimikyu is holding on to a lum berry so it recovered from paralysis.... silly Mimikyu Smogon says you should be holding a focus sash.  Silly Mimikyu.
Tumblr media
I got mixed feelings about this death....
On the one hand I didn’t believe Mis Gender would be going to the end with me.  Illumise is a bulky bug that has a few tricks up it’s sleeve but as the game goes on and you’re dealing with evolved Pokemon at a higher level it loses its sparkle..... but on the other hand it died in vain because I couldn’t get a T-wave on Mimikyu..... poor Illumise I’ll never know what your gender was.
Time for Plan B and by that I mean Plan Bean.  Mimikyu is using mostly physical attacks and Bean can take a hit as well as set up an Acid Armor or two to protect itself before fighting. 
Once I had my acid armor set up, however, I had to bring in some rain to rely on Hydration, because Haunter wants to sit there and spam hypnosis and hydration will give me a free heal from sleep.  
Only problem with that strategy is when I fell asleep I still missed out on my turn since these Pokemon are too fast compared to Bean.  It’s a good thing I got my acid armor in though for it kept me alive throughout all of this.
Once I was finally allowed to make a move I used my Z-Power and took Mimikyu out in one hit.  That was for you Mis Gender.... I still feel guilty...
Tumblr media
The battle has been won, but before I end things I have a few more encounters to deal with so I don’t forget next time I play.
Tumblr media
We got Ramsey B. (Ramsey Bolton tho should be Snow) the Raticate caught on Route 15 that has a Rash nature.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A tie between Gabby and dinner.  RNG decided upon Gabby.... I guess I just wasn’t hungry enough.  Where was a reliable poison type during the last battle Gabby?
Tumblr media
There is Poach Me the Pelipper (I really hate Pelippers design), which was caught on Route 14 with a Lonely nature.  It gets exchanged for:
Tumblr media
Great another Pikachu..... I don’t know what to make of its name.... I doubt this was a friend to someone, because it’s clearly someone’s route captured Kalos Pikachu.... does it like the TV show FRIENDS?
One more encounter left to exchange....
Tumblr media
Fat Bat the Golbat captured at the Mega Thrifty Megamart that has a serious nature.
In exchange I get:
Tumblr media
Meloetta? The Shuppet..... oooooo it’s cool that I got an actual ghost type from where I should have got a ghost type encounter.  It was clearly given this nickname by someone who wanted to communicate to ask for a Meloetta in link trade.... and for that I already have a head canon.  It got so bitter of being used and abused for means of communication it formed a grudge against Meloetta and now it shall dedicate it’s life to finding and destroying Meloetta.

When you fight Ataru, you fight with all of them.
Something silly that popped up in my brain,like he doesn’t care if they talk bad of him but if it’s about his friends is another story.
bullying is one of the themes that I think ataru is being a victim because they always look down at him and he always escapes the fights.
but with his new friends he doesn’t allow to others talk bad about them, he tells them to keep their opinnions to themselves or even fights.
I think that the first time he really fought  it could be when someone say bad things about lum. 
@artistefish  sorry if I got carried away with this ;_;
One more draw to go!

Car Insurance - Young Driver 18 years old Male - NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!?
I have recently passed my driving test (3 days ago!) and will be buying a car ASAP as I have a job lined up and have just left school. I've tried tens of comparison sites and even rang some insurance companies direct to try and get a better quote... I have looked at the smallest possible engine size, that being 0.8l and 1l engines. I've looked at cars such as FORD KA, Vauxhall Corsa, Nissan Micra, Renault Clio and a few others too. The cheapest quote I have found for all of the cars is for a 2000 Ford KA 1.3l 3dr 4 seats (the smallest KA engine size possible) and that price was 3,800 paying monthly with a company called My Policy . However, I have used various other KA registration plates all the same engine size but some being 2003 models or 2005 and the insurance jumps to over 6,000! I haven't found another FORD KA cheaper than 5,500 and obviously if I can't get that one particular car out of the thousands for sale that insurance quote will be invalid anyway. Basically, I've tried everything. Adding named drivers (with lots of driving experience 30+ years), putting my car in a locked garage, on the road, tried different cars - models, registration plates, ages, engine sizes, and not to forget the countless comparison sites. The funny thing is with MyPolicy I went onto their site directly to get a quote and they were unable to give me a quote when entering exactly the same information into the Tiger.co.uk comparison site, that site brought up the 3,800 quote with MyPolicy but when I use their site directly they can't give me a quote... I know insurance is based on MANY factors, believe me I understand that. I tried entering different post codes (just out of curiosity) and it did help, but only fractionally. It just seems (other than the 1 obscure quote of 3,800 on ONE car, out of the 100+ I've tried) that I can't get a quote cheaper than 5,000 for a car with the smallest engine size and insurance group possible... It's ridiculous. Please don't advise fronting because it's illegal and I want to build up some NCD anyway. CAN ANYONE HELP ME GET A QUOTE CHEAPER THAN 3,500?! Thanks a lot, -Ash.""

How to fight a California Medi-Cal Health Insurance denial?
I received a letter saying they would not cover my hospital stay because it was a non-emergent admission to a nonparticipating provider and there is no prior authorization. I was led to believe by the professionals that it would be covered. The situation was an emergency as even the doctors said. I did not know it was not a non participating provider and this was the closest hospital at the time during this emergency! Is there a way to fight this and win? I received a state hearing form but no other Information on what makes a winning or loosing case. Any advice?
HOW TO GET MY CAR INSURANCE DOWN PLZ!!?
Hi Ladies and Gents, im 24 yrs old and turn 25 in august and my dream is to get a car to help my mum and dad sadly im not the best with technology or bargain hunting im a little bit naive if im honest. Anyway i thought as this will be my first car my insurance would be quite high and i thought 1500 a year would be decent enough paying monthly. so i tried some insurance sites but best i could see was around 2700 and i thought wow thats shocking! i need help from you guys if you can spare a moment please thanks, i dont need anything fancy just an A to B car to help mum and dad with life and me get to work ofcourse. I decided to start my lessons and drive an automatic car starting end of this month at payday! so ive listed some details below that i think you can help me to get a cheaper deal, thank you guys very much for being kind. ok... my car will be a cheap one maybe 1000 2nd hand automatic civic,corsa or something pref 3 door 1.4L is fine also i seen some on auto trader. annual miles 10k SD&P<<im sure thats rite social and work? fully comp i may hang off till i turn 25 if my insurance will go down and also i thought a little about going on someone elses insurance (my aunt has a mobility car for my mum) or adding someone to mine? not sure? also my sister and her BF have a car but im a little scared to ask them haha! so can anyone please help me get a cheap quote thanks a million,!""

Did you know that you save money if you have higher prior limits on insurance?
Okay, this seems to be a secret in the auto insurance world, but my insurance agent told me that if you say you have higher limits when switching to a new company your rates will be $200-$300 dollars lower! I didn't realize this would make a difference. For instance, I said in the beginning I had $25,000/$50,000 (liability) my rate was $1400 per year, then I took my old policy into the office and I really had prior limits of $100,000/300,000, and my rate when down to $1282 just for having higher limits at the other company.""

Car insurance coverage help!?
So my car was hit by someone and they left, basically a hit and run, and I reported it to my car insurance company. They gave me a price on how much they're going to cover for the repairs that are going to follow.

What states don't require auto insurance?
As a young driver auto insurance is way to expensive. Since I drive a Mercedes most quote me at thousands of dollars a year. More than what I can afford. I know some states don't require car insurance if you can prove you have the financial means to pay out if you cause an accident. I need a list of those states that don't require auto insurance if you can prove you can afford to pay out. On top of this question how do I prove I can afford it. Do I need to keep a minimum amount of money in a bank account or do I have to buy a bond how does it work. And if it works with a bond or bank account please list the states with the minimum $ you need in bonds or account money. The reason Im asking is that I can easily get a minimum amount in my account (hopefully under $10,000) because id rather have $10,000 sitting in a bank I cant use than having to pay thousands a year for insurance I don't need. I been driving for 3 years and I never had an accident and im confident I never will (at least not one that's my fault) so I don't wanna waste thousands of dollars I need for my school. The reason Im asking is cause im looking for a state that suits me. So far Vermont and new Hampshire have laws to my liking but hopefully you guys can give me more possibilities by answering this question. Thanks""

Cost to insure a car for first time driver?
Hi, I just turned 15 yrs old and I'm looking to get a car soon.

My parents aren't going to pay for any part of this, but I have money. My question is how much do you think I'd end up paying for insurance? My parents would put me on their Gieco plan, they both have never had an accident in their entire lives and pay very little for insurance. I was wondering if anybody had some kind of idea/range of how much I'd expect to pay for car insurance for these cars: 87-93 Ford Mustang 5.0 97-99 BMW M3 00-04 Mustang Cobra 95-2002 Acura/Honda Integra w/ turbocharger and upgrades 93-94 Mazda RX-7 w/ turbo I don't need exact rates obviously, but if anybody works with a car insurer do you have a range on how much a 1st time driver would pay for each of these cars?

Where should I go for medical and financial aid?
I've lived w. my mother all my life and gradually she has gotten more and more unorganized leading to disgusting living conditions. I have always kept my room together and received good grades to move on and out of my mothers house. In 2008 during my first week of college , I was diagnosed with a disease called Lupus. I was removed from the Boston College campus and forced to take time off of school. Since this, my return to school has been an long and difficult process. I am now 20 cooping well with the disease and attending night school. I have very little income and I was denied SSI as well as state insurance. As I am in the process of reapplying I find it hard to remain in my mothers living conditions in that no matter how I keep my things separate I have still accumulated unsanitary conditions. I dont know where to go for help and I am afraid of the stress I am experiencing causing me another flare and long hospital visit. I live in Rhode Island and have tried the welfare and community health care route. The only success I receive is hospital health care and a few doctors who are willing to discount my mandatory visits. Sometimes I feel like the only thing that is keeping me health is my faith and religion. As my relationship with God grows stronger I also find my self stuck in my situation. I know I would do well living on my own and getting into a regular routine I would just need a small boost of medical and financial support through any means available in the area. Any suggestions will help :) God Bless.""

""My car insurance was voided in the past, and now I can't get a quote anywhere, can anyone help?!?""
When I started learning to drive at 17, I decided to buy my self a cheap car so that I'd be able to get more experience behind the wheel, pass my test quicker and have a car as soon as I passed my test. I was insured on my provisional license with an insurance company which specialised in learner drivers. However, I ended up getting 3 points on my license the week before I passed my test, in what I still think were pretty unfair circumstances. My house doesn't have a drive or a garage and so I had to park my car on the road in front of my house, or on a street round the corner when there were no spaces. As it was my first car I was really excited, and without understanding that I could get in trouble for it, I used to sometimes sit in my car and listen to music with my friends. The week before I passed my test we were sat chatting when a police car came down the road and pulled up behind us. Someone had broken into some allotments nearby and they were questioning us as to if we had seen anything. They searched my car- for tools that could suggest we had done it I presume, and when they found nothing they ran my license and obviously realised I only had a provisional license. I still at this point didn't realise I had done anything wrong, I wasn't driving the car, simply sat in it so I didn't realise I had committed an offence. The police informed me that because the engine was running, I could have been driving or about to drive and on that basis they convicted me for driving without a license. I only got 3 points and a 60 fine due to the fact I wasn't actually driving and at the time I accepted that with relief, I was terrified I'd get a ban or lose my license or get a massively unaffordable fine. I could have appealed but that would have meant going to court and I was only 17 and that terrified me. I declared the points to my insurance company straght away, but due to the nature of the offence my insurance was invalidated and void. I've only just now realised how serious having insurance voided in the past is. I'm supposed to be moving a 5 hours away in a few months for a job, and I have plenty of money saved for car insurance and a car, as without a car, the move is completely unrealistic. Without a car I won't be able to get to work as the hours are unsocial and my job isn't very well connected with public transport at all and so relying on public transport or taxis is simply not an option. I found a car, went to get an insurance quote, and found out that getting insurance is practically impossible when you've had insurance voided in the past. The points don't seem to be a problem, when I tell companies about my points but not about my insurance voided in the past they happily give me a quote. They're expensive, but affordable and it's what I was expecting. However, as soon as I tell them that my insurance was voided in the past they refuse to even give me a quote. I'm completely out of options and I don't know what to do. I need a car, but I can't get insurance as much as I try. I know I was in the wrong, but it seems like the voided insurance is more of a punishment than the points are and surely that isn't right? And the voided insurance will stay with me for the rest of my life, so does that mean that driving will never be an option for me? I'm sorry for the essay, I just really don't know what to do! If anyone's been in a similar situation with voided insurance or know of a company that would insure me then please let me know! Just anything that would help, let me know! Thank you so much in advance and sorry again for the babbling!""
Should I pay my car insurance premium?
I purchased a car for my daughter last August and paid the annual premium. In November the insurance company said I cancelled her coverage and they issued me a refund for the remainder of the policy year (thru July). I didn't know what the refund was for, but deposited the check anyway. I don't know what I did to cancel coverage (for just this vehicle, all my other vehicles remain covered.) I don't dispute that I must have done something.... In April I found out I didn't have coverage for this car by my accidentally calling the insurance company about another question. I asked for them to reinstate the coverage immediately. They did and sent me a bill for the full amount of the refund, plus another $176. I feel I should only pay insurance for the remaining two months on this year's policy since, if I would have had an accident, the insurance company would not have covered me. They say they can't charge me for just the remaining two months, but that they have to bill me the full amount (plus what's with the additional $176 charge?) I'm thinking that I should just go to another insurance company and get the car covered. Any thoughts?""

Car insurance - What's the car worth?
In the past when ever i've been asked by insurance companies what my car is worth i've always told them the amount that i think i could realisticly sell it for (what its worth? or so i thought) If i was to sell my car i would be able to get around 1200-1300, which is what i would say 'it's worth', HOWEVER, recently after putting my reg number into a price comparison website it automatically came up with a value of just 700. (My car has low milege, fsh and is in v good condition so is worth more than average) So my question is, if i tell them it's worth say 1250, take out their policy and then i write it off, what will they pay? The amount i told them or 'their' valuation. Also, am i paying a higher premium than i should because i'm telling them it's true value instead of their lower valuation? and if so, how many other people are doing this?""

Insurance claim estimate low?
"Insurance claim estimate low?
Our car was hit while parked and the driver has AAA.  AAA came out and made an estimate of $1200.  Our insurance company and some local shops estimated the damage at $2800.  The major difference being cutting in the rear quarter panel vs repairing it.      This is a small car worth only $5500.  We can live with the damage and want to just get a check for the amount of damage and not have it repaired.  I do not want the claim going throught our insurance.      What is the best way to get AAA's estimate closer to reality and a check issued to us, not a body shop?

Our car was hit while parked and the driver has AAA.  AAA came out and made an estimate of $1200.  Our insurance company and some local shops estimated the damage at $2800.  The major difference being cutting in the rear quarter panel vs repairing it.      This is a small car worth only $5500.  We can live with the damage and want to just get a check for the amount of damage and not have it repaired.  I do not want the claim going throught our insurance.      What is the best way to get AAA's estimate closer to reality and a check issued to us, not a body shop?

Dual Coverage for Health Insurance?

Can I afford motorcycle insurance?
So here is my situation: I currently own a 2003 Toyota Matrix that I make payments on. In between the payments and the insurance and gas, it costs about $350 a month to have that car. For the last couple years I've been really interested in getting a motorcycle, specifically a newer Kawasaki. According to my research, I could find a Kawasaki Ninja 250cc for somewhere around $3000. My question is basically how much insurance do I need? Right now I have comprehensive coverage for my car so that if I'm in a wreck and it's totaled I can replace it. If I had a bike AND my car though, I don't want replacement coverage for a secondary vehicle (even one as cool as a motorcycle). I got quotes from Geico and State Farm that put my minimum amount of insurance a month in the neighborhood of around $30. Does this sound accurate to anyone? Also, can anyone just give me some sound advice about owning both vehicles and whether it's worth it?""

Do insurance rates always go up after fender benders? even super minor ones?
I was in a minor parking lot fender bender, more like fender TAPPING if you ask me, neither car has more of a scratch, I am pretty sure that she is more at fault in this situation because when we tapped i was all the way out my my parking space and she was only out about half way, hence why our bumpers tapped on both of our rear passenger corners. she has a witness claiming they saw the whole thing and that I hit her, but regardless of if my car tapped hers or her car tapped mine, I was all the way out of my space and she was the one who wasn't looking enough to not hit me. I was about to shift into drive right when we tapped, I had my foot on the brake, which is probably why we didn't hit hard enough to do any more damage than a scratch. ANYWAY she is basically making a huge deal about a small *** scratch on her 1998 honda in which i am sure that she is at fault for. in maryland, I have always been told that parking lot accidents are equal fault cases no matter what. she called me 3 days after the incident and also called my house number(which i did NOT give her!!! creepy) she got mad that I called the police for advice on what to do and said she is going to go through my insurance to get things settled. m my question is, will my insurance go up if she files a claim using my insurqnce info? even though the repair for her tiny scratch couldn't possibly cost more than 200 bucks? It is so small i feel like someone at a body shop could buff it out for even less than 100, maybe even 50. it just baffles me that someone would make such a big deal over a scratch that is less than an inch, especially when my scratches are deeper and longer than hers! you can tell by the direction that my scratch was in that she was the one who hit me, because of where the paint was pushed.""
What is the bare minimum for full coverage auto insurance?
I live in Idaho. I have not yet payed off the auto loan so I'm required to have full coverage insurance. According to some people I am paying too much (about 700 for 6 months), as they are paying far less. I have geico, but from time to time I look around and get quotes, and it is always slightly higher than what I have now. However, that might be because I am opting for coverage I might not need.

Question about Scion Tc insurance?
So I figured it couldn't hurt to ask about the insurance on a Scion Tc. I'm 16 and looking into getting a scion as my first car. My family and I have state farm insurance, and I would co-sign with them. It would be a used scion with about under 50000 miles and probably a year 2006 or 2005. I live in new york if it helps and am a new driver, no tickets or points. So I was just basically wondering how much other people pay a month or year for a scion tc, their age, the year of their car, and the state they live in. Also and more importantly is a scion tc considered a sports car, or is it under sports car insurance. If it is how much extra monthly is that. I would also be eligible for a steer clear program reduction, good grades reduction, and the reduction for taking drivers ed if anyone has any idea how much that would save.

Can home insurance companies completely deny you because you have a dog that attacked someone at one point?
I'm going to try to keep this short.. just know that, this is for my dog and I'm trying to save him... he's a 10 year old Akita. A year ago, our family dog bit someone. They sued for an insane amount of money, but it wasn't our fault completely, so our home insurance and their health insurance settled out of court for a lot less. Still, the settlement was expensive, and our home insurance didn't like covering a 6-digit figure claim because of the dog so they dropped us. Since then, all home insurance companies don't want to cover us, even if we don't have a dog , this information is by my father who doesn't like the dog already. There is only one house insurance that will cover us, according to my father, but they will only cover us if we don't have a dog, and even then they will charge 4 times as much. I'm not old enough to completely understand how insurance and claims and contracts work, but I'm just trying to save my dog, because my father is going to put him to sleep by the end of this month. I just need a good starting point or phone numbers that could maybe discredit what my father has been saying, or anything that could help. We live in Southern California. Apparently Akitas are listed as vicious, but at the age of 10, he's old enough to be mellow, but still too young to put to sleep. Any help would be appreciated.""
I want my own car but my parents wont pay for insurance?

I'll threaten to drive uninsured, and if that won't make em pay for insurance, I'll actually go drive uninsured. Then they'll HAVE to buy insurance. Will that work?""

Isn't a lack of affordable health insurance merely a very late term abortion for Blue collar workers?
Alright, I'm being overly dramatic but what if, as head of household such an individual, without insurance, is treated to a very costly procedure and dies anyway? Why does it become necessary to bankrupt the remaining family as it often is? Why then, if Welfare is so frowned upon by the same opposition group to affordable health care (often referred as Universal health care by way of diversion)why is the mother, if she is unable to provide for her children often left homeless and left to wander the streets while they are given up for adoption? Why is this oft repeated scenario accepted by Christian voter or even wealthy atheists (ordinary ones, even) for whom there never may be enough money? This is a worst case scenario and actually happens in some cases. How does one address this issue? I've heard all of standard insults but I'd really appreciate an honest answer and I'm not at all in favor of universal health care for the indolent or the F--k 'em and forget 'em fathers everywhere or, for that matter, the largest group of Welfare recipients, save their unfortunate offspring.""

Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/awkwafina-i-was-always-the-crazy-one-the-funny-one-id-do-anything-for-a-laugh/
Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
The front desk clerk at the Beverly Hills Hotel is polite but puzzled. “Nora Lum? No, we have no one staying here of that name.” How about Awkwafina, I ask, spelling it out for him. He looks at me as though he thinks I might be messing with him. “Sorry, madam,” – is that a note of relief in his voice? – “no one of that name either.” I reach for my phone, but then I have an idea. Sandra Bullock? Suddenly I have the attention of all three front desk clerks. “This way, madam.”
“Who the fuck is Awkwafina? That’s everyone’s reaction,” laughs Nora Lum/Awkwafina (pronounced Aquafina) when I eventually find her. She and Bullock – or “Sandy” as Lum affectionately calls her – are both holding court at the hotel today to discuss their new movie Ocean’s 8, a female reboot of the Ocean’s Eleven crime comedy heist first made famous by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1960, then reprised by George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon in Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. In the movie poster Bullock and Lum are flanked by six other top-tier names: Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling. “No one knows why I was cast,” says Lum, who has just turned 30. “Even I don’t know. Gary Ross [the director] really took a chance on me. He saw something in me that I don’t think I even saw in myself. Because of his confidence, I felt confident, too.”
Tumblr media
Lum’s route to the top has been unconventional. In 2012, on her 24th birthday, she uploaded a rap video to YouTube entitled My Vag – sample lyric: “My vag speak five different languages / And told yo vag, ‘Bitch, make me a sandwich.’” Two things happened immediately, neither surprising. She was sacked from her job as a publicity assistant at a publishing company. And her father went ballistic. “He was screaming at me on the phone. He thought I was having a quarter-life crisis. And then we didn’t talk for a while…”
[embedded content]
What no one expected, least of all Lum, was that the video would become a viral hit and launch her on a career as a rapper and comedian. “I still can’t believe it worked: that’s crazy to me.” Absurdly brilliant, the song almost defies description. Suffice to say that “vag” or “vagina” is repeated 53 times and the video features Lum – wearing a “horrifying pair of chemistry goggles” – delivering random paraphernalia from a (thankfully unseen) vagina: a violin, a cabbage, a live cat, a toaster.
Adopted by some as a sort of feminist anthem – a belated response to Mickey Avalon’s 2006 My Dick – the video has received more than 2.5m hits. Even Bullock is a fan. “At some point Sandy discovered My Vag and loved it,” says Lum. “She shares it, which is really cool…”
Tumblr media
Views will no doubt increase dramatically this year as Lum hits the mainstream, appearing in both Ocean’s 8 and, later this summer, in Crazy Rich Asians. “It’s an amazing time to be in Hollywood,” enthuses Lum. “The landscape is changing. Here I am with an all-female cast and an all-Asian cast. I’m fairly new to this industry and I have not experienced some of the struggles I’ve heard about. Time’s up and it’s about time. No more bullshit characters for women, especially Asian American women. Don’t piss off whole communities of people.”
We meet first towards the end of her photoshoot. Although there are already at least 10 people in the room, Lum’s “wrangler” – as she calls her – is hesitant about letting me in, concerned I might write something revealing about the shoot. Fair enough: she’s just protecting her client. What she may not have grasped is that it is a little late to start protecting Lum. She has rapped about her vagina, joked about her apartment’s “semen-stained walls” and made quips about masturbation. Lum intervenes on my behalf. “Let her stay. What the fuck is she going to do? Write about my Spanx? Like I care…”
Tumblr media
Lum is funny and relaxed throughout the rest of the shoot, putting everyone at ease. When the photographer asks her to lean back on a fluorescent bench, she cackles loudly and hams it up. “It looks like I’m giving birth on the subway.” The stylist puts her in a pair of incredibly high rose-gold heels and she totters around delightedly: “I’m terrible in heels. I look like a little baby trying them on.” Her voice is surprisingly deep – at odds with her slight frame. She changes back into streetwear for the interview – cropped black T-shirt, black high-top sneakers and khaki trousers. “I got them in Target [the American equivalent of Tesco] yesterday – I have no fashion sense. I then treated myself to Louis Vuitton sneakers. Target and Louis Vuitton. Who am I? What am I?”
Funny that she should beat me to that question. It turns out that even Awkwafina finds it hard to explain Awkwafina. “There is a duality between Awkwafina and Nora. Awkwafina is someone who never grew up, who never had to bear the brunt of all the insecurities and overthinking that come with adulthood. Awkwafina is the girl I was in high school – who did not give a shit. Nora is neurotic and an overthinker and could never perform in front of an audience of hecklers.”
So if the phone rang early in the morning and she answered half-asleep, who would she be, Awkwafina or Nora? “Nora. I’m Nora most of the time. But when I’m in a good mood I’m Awkwafina. When I’m in a bad, sad, lonely mood, it’s Nora all the way. When I come home at night from being Awkwafina, that’s Nora. I compare it to The Mask…” She means the Jim Carrey movie about a timid bank clerk who discovers a magical character-changing mask. “Thank God for the mask.”
Born Nora Lum in 1988, to a Chinese American father and South Korean immigrant mother, she grew up in Flushing, Queens. Her early years were marked by tragedy. Her mother was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension shortly after Lum’s birth. “It was a very slow illness and she lived for four more years. I remember her, but I remember mostly when she passed… Obviously it was a very tragic situation, but I felt odd and uncomfortable when adults cried to me. One of the first emotions I ever felt was embarrassment. So I started trying to make them laugh.”
Her grandmother stepped in to help her father. “My grandmother was everything to me, she taught me that Asian women are strong, they’re not meek orchard-dwelling figures. She always knew I had something, not even star power but spunk – she got me singing lessons and we didn’t tell my dad, because he’d be like: ‘Why would you waste money on that, that’s just stupid.’”
At school, she was the comedian. “I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I’d do anything for a laugh, like dunking an ice cream in my eye. Everybody would be: ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe she did that!’ These were not intellectual jokes.” She attended a performing arts high school, where she played the trumpet. At 15, she came up with the stage name Awkwafina. “I just thought it was a funny name. And it was fitting that it had ‘awkward’ in it, because I am awkward.” After majoring in journalism and women’s studies, she went to China to study Mandarin, then worked at a video rental store, an air-conditioning company and finally a publishing company.
I don’t think I’ll ever carry myself like a star. Look at me now, bent over slurping up soup
Following My Vag, she released a rap album Yellow Ranger, then joined her idol Margaret Cho on Green Tea, a song which lampoons Asian stereotypes. Later she morphed into acting – appearing in comedy movies like Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising – and pioneered her own gloriously deranged web chat show Tawk, which she hosted from corner stores and laundromats, complete with an octogenarian, boombox-bopping sidekick – as well as a segment from her 84-year-old grandmother Grammafina, who delivers pearls of wisdom from a leather armchair in a darkened room, such as, “You want to throw a good party, you serve some hors d’oeuvres.”
“My grandmother’s such a ham,” Lum says. “She’s always like: ‘I’m so bad at acting.’ And then she murders it…”
In Ocean’s 8, Lum plays Constance, a pickpocket whose adroitness attracts felon Debbie Ocean, played by Bullock, who is planning a heist at New York City’s annual Met Ball. Before meeting the cast, Lum was terrified. “I had waking nightmares I would say something weird. But they welcomed me, they were so warm. There was so much laughter on set. I consider them my heroes – but now they are also my friends.” They keep in regular touch with a group text. “It’s always a joy to wake up to a text from one of them. We have a lot of gifs, a lot of laugh-out-loud jokes.”
Tumblr media
Lum – who still raps and has just released a five-song EP In Fina We Trust – does not think she will ever feel like a movie star. “I’m physically insecure. It came with puberty, not feeling pretty. But when I say that to my grandmother, she’s like: ‘Bitch, you’re fine…’ But I don’t think I’ll ever carry myself like a star. Look at me now, bent over slurping up soup.” She says she finds it hard to relax into her success. “Even when I’m lying in bed at night I’m thinking, ‘What more can I do?’ I keep feeling I’ll pay for it all some way.”
Yet she thoroughly enjoyed one moment while filming Ocean’s 8 in New York. “We were shooting this glamorous scene and I looked up and saw the office I got fired from. I thought: ‘Oh my God, everything has come full circle.’ I left that job in pursuit of Awkwafina. And here I was shooting a scene with Rihanna. Getting fired from that job really hurt my feelings. Now I could just look up and say, ‘Fuck y’all.’”
Lum still talks to her grandmother almost every day. “She’s my therapist.” And even her father has come round. “Now he won’t leave me alone,” she says affectionately, “although I still, to this day, get random emails about government jobs from all the job lists he signed me up for. He just wanted good for me.” On a personal level, she says she feels very settled with her long-term boyfriend: “I’m extremely happy. I’m in love.” And yet: “I’m not sure I will ever be the kind of woman who can retire into a family.”
I ask her if Lum and Awkwafina will ever go their separate ways. “At some point they might have to. I don’t think an 85-year-old Awkwafina will be the most normal look… By then people will be laughing at me, not with me – I will be coughing loudly and yelling at birds. But then I look at my grandmother and she’s still pretty fricking cool.”
Our time is up. The hotel wants the room back and someone is ringing the phone and knocking on the door simultaneously. “They’re aggressive as fuck,” she grumbles, as she grabs her things. “Oooh,” she exclaims, spying a side table crammed with bottles of designer water. “I’m just going to steal these.” She grabs an armful, chuckling as we leave the room: “I guess I’ll always be a hustler.”
Ocean’s 8 is in cinemas from tomorrow

[01:13] (no name) Lek turned halfway at the sound of her tone, holding onto his shoulder strap while watching her get upset. A soft frown overcoming him at what she said. The slight brusk in his voice was still there just from being so used to speaking like that but he tried to be... comforting? It was obvious the boy wasn't use to do something like that, "Yea... well... ya ain't botherin' me... so quit worrin'." If she started to head to the dorms he rubbed at his head nervously while contemplating something before grunting. Running over and next to her, "Ya'know Cace gamme da crown, right?" [01:15] Lumiere smiles a bit, knowing she wasn't being an annoying fuck though that quickly changes at the mention of the crown. "You should give that back to Teshak. That's what you were going to do, right?" She folds her arms over her chest, obviously pissed. "I took it from Cace earlier because It hought it'd upset you to have it., since you told me to go take care of him earlier and stuff..." [01:23] (no name) Lek frowned a little at her disgussing it, going quiet for awhile as she spoke and seemed pissed. Scrunching up his mouth a little as she mentioned Lek being upset, "It ain't upset me! Not like I care fo' him o' nothang!" Shuffling for the phone in his pocket as an excuse to avoid eye contact as he murmured, "Yea...I was gunna give it back." He cleared his throat and looked down the hallway, "But I can't jus.. do dat. I mean- Cace- wants it in da lost and found." Lek pulled his backpack to the side and shuffled out the crown with Teshak's blood still on it and frowned all the more, "I wanted ta ask dat lil' kid where he bought it so I could by a copy of it or somethang. I mean.." He rotated the crown to look at it and show her, "If he wears a hat dis dumb it's gotta be important to him or somethang ya'know?" His brows lifted up a little before looking down at the item again. [01:23] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): discussing* [01:25] Lumiere lightens up a bit, cocking her head to the side. "Seems like you care to me. Maybe not about him but, you're generally nice I guess?" Laughing, she covers her mouth and clears her throat after. "We should go give it to him. Cace can kiss my ass. I don't care if I need to be like my sister or whatever the hell he wants to tell me, I'm not listening to him." Ooooh, what a badass. She's so gonna get her ass kicked by Cace one day. :| "I say give it back." [01:29] Callista Macbain was hearing some murmuring when she was across the lobby, and she walked over to what seemed like a small gathering of people and stopped when she was within earshot to hear what was being said. Fixing her glasses a little, she saw Lumi in the crowd, and she would smile to her if the smaller girl's eyes would ever glance towards her direction. [01:30] Lumiere looks over her shoulder after hearing the footsteps headed her direction, "Oh!" Waving quickly to Callista, she smiles at her and returns her attention to Lek; still set on convincing him to return the crown. [01:33] (no name) Lek just glared at her when she called him generally nice and caring >: with a slight suck of his teeth, "Maaaan I ain't no wuss..." At least he lightened up on her laughing even if he thought it was because the girl was joking about it. Quirking a brow about her spoken words of Cace and self consciously checked around like he expected the chairman to just stand behind them all >:| "I know I know.. I'mma give it back aight? I was jus.... gunna clean da blood off. End den put blood on tha fake one or somethang... I dunno if that'd trick Cace. But... " He looked at her a little more concerned, "Ya should watch yo mouth 'round him. He dun play around. Even if he knows yur sis." He looked ready to add something before noticing Lumiere's attention going towards someone else. When she looked back at him he would only stare with a, "Ya'know her?" Stupid question... Lek's having a blonde moment. He's on alotta meds... don't blame him ! ;_; [01:37] Callista Macbain thought maybe her eyes were playing tricks on her at first, but then realized there was only Lumi and another boy with her... shadows like to play tricks with her. Callista waved back when Lumi did, and she took a couple steps towards them, "Hello, Lumi. Is everything okay?" She asked in a pleasant and sincere tone, her sharp green eyes looking between her and Lek expectantly. [01:38] Lumiere knows he's on meds. She gave him some. 8D)) Lum smiles at him at the mention of returning the crown, it's the right thing. Yep. "I don't think Cace gives a rat's ass. The damage has been done. Cace just can't see Teshak with it, is all." Chuckling at his question of Callista, she nods. "Yeah I do. She's a friend."  Her attention turns to Callista and she nods yet again, "Yeah, everything is fine. Lek and I are..." looking to him, she seems a bit confused and continues in a questioning tone, "Hanging out?" Who knows anymore. She's pretty sure they were headed to the infirmary... Bam. Back to Lek, "You should probably wait till Teshak's awake though, so you can let him know." [01:44] (no name) Lek frowned, "Yea... dat's the problem.. Teshil.. Teshak? He fuckin' hates me so... I wouldn't be surprised if he tried ta get payback by struttin' wit it on...." The DC member adjusted that darn lower brim piercing again, looking between the two as the other female moved closer and spoke. He just nodded towards her like some thug would do with a brusk, "Sup." Quirking a brow down towards Lumi, "Uhhh...wha-....I dunno..." He wasn't sure if her asking about hanging out was a trick question or something D:! Whenever she added the last part he rubbed at his brow a little, "Well... yea I was thinkin' dat... don't think he'll wanna see me..I am.. kinda da one that.." He looked off towards the other female like the boy was hoping for her to interupt him as his mouth scrunched a little. He might have beat up Teshak but the guy regreted it. [01:47] Lumiere shrugs, "I can take it for you if you really think he'd react that way." Looking over her shoulder again, she shouts to Callista, "Hey. I'm gonna show this guy to the infirmary. I'll talk to you later or something." Looking back at Lek, she grabs his wrist and starts to drag him towards the infirmary. Crown or not, he needs to quit standing so much. No good for his injuries. Yep.. ((Sorry to ditch you Keaton ;_;)) [01:48] Lumiere pauses next to Callista and smiles to her again, "Hey. Gimmie your number." [01:49] Callista Macbain blinks at Lumi for a moment, "Number? OH, yes! Of course!" She gestured her finger as she said each number, "555-1337." [01:50] Lumiere repeats the number quietly to herself and continues to drag Lek away, "I'll text you later!"
[01:54] (no name) Lek frowned and stretched out his arm a little, "Sure... not like someone wantin' me dead is new really.." Hearing the shout he cringed and looked down at her with flattened brows, "What? Thought ya said bout waitin' for dat kid to wake?!" Feeling his wrist grab he super frowned and stumbled a little being pulled, "Hey wait what?!" He would obviously have risen his rasp voice enough for Callista to hear him, "I ain't goin' back ta dat! It's fuckin' boring ass shit in dere! I'm good, chill CHILL!" Being stopped he went silent and looked at the number exchange rather stupified. Checking over Calli he smirked a little flirtatious with a, "How you doin'?" Suddenly being pulled again would shout the same, "Yo WAIT!" Turning halfway to see Calli, "Can I Have yo numbah too?!" while being dragged XD Flirting at its finest. [01:56] Callista Macbain just kinda looked on with a o_o; face... finding the scene a little too silly to catch the flirtations... not to mention flirts kinda fly over her head anyway. And she just waved at them silently while they went to the infirm. [01:57] Lumiere:  "It's not like I'm leaving you there by yourself, dumbass," she mutters under her breath and his Callista-flirting. As he asks her for her number, she slides her hand  downwards; grabbing his and tugs harder than before. "You really think to flirt with girls you don't know?" Don't get pissed at him, stupid girl. D:< Not like you have a good reason. [02:02] (no name) Lek would have poutted a little at the wave and added with a mutter, "Dude! Ya ruinin' mah flow.." Yea.. blame her for your fail flirting Lek. Frowning a little as he stumbled forward enough to catch up, "Ow ow what?! I can sleep in mah room man..." Eyes widening a little from the tug, "What?! What's wrong wit dat?! IS it against the law to flirt?!" Suddenly he would start to limp alot with painful grunts like she hurt him really badly. [02:04] Lumiere pulls him for quite the distance, not realizing that he's in pain before it clicks. "Oh god," instantly letting go, she turns to him and blushes hard. What a stupid girl! :O "I'm sorr--" Groaning as she remembers that he said not to apologize so much, she squeaks the rest of it out quietly and looks away, covering her face with her scarf like usual. [02:05] Lumiere:  "Do you /want/ her number? I can just give it to you," she adds, taking out her phone and putting the contact in for herself. D: [02:09] (no name) Lek continued to make the pained sounds and grunt until she stopped and seeing her turned around he smirked. It only grew more into a stupid smile as she said oh god and upon her sorry and squeak he would start laughing, "Nahahhahahahaha, -" The smile stayed on mischeviously as he added, "I was jus fuckin' wit you." Seeing the will for Calli's number he quirked a brow and shook his head a little uncomfortable with it, "Nah man I ain't gunna call no chick who didn't gimme dere numbah. Dat's stalker shit." He would laugh again though and add with a tease, "I got ya SO good. Ya gotta chill." His body would have tilted a little to the side like he expected her to bap him on the arm or something from the scare he gave. [02:10] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): aw thanks XD he was actually suppose to be an NPC but it bothers me to make a character that does things with reason so I developed his background more flesh out like 2 days into rp'ing him and started to enjoy him XD [02:10] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): does things without reason*
[02:11] Lumiere pouts and puts her phone away, "Fine." She turns away from him, heading towards the  infirmary, not dragging him along this time. "Come on, then." She sounds kinda pissed but, it doesn't really feel like she is. Oh stupid, stupid girl. [02:14] (no name) Lek slouched a little as he followed her in a lighter tone, "Oh comon man really?!" Sucking his teeth a little. If it was someone like Nike and Torri he would he said fuck it and walked off rudely but considering all she's done so far he seemed to actually have some worry in her getting upset. Frowning a little as he walked beside her, "Seriously dude...? It was a joke! Comon!" [02:16] Lumiere turns around and pouts at him, "You're so meaaaaaan." Her cheeks are a little bit red, though it seems she can't help but blush today. Wtf. Getting all up in his face, she looks up at him and sticks her tongue out at him after she calls him a jerk in a playful tone. "It's a joke! Comeon!" Mocking him, ho-ho. WHATNAO. [02:22] (no name) Lek stopped and frowned at the pout, alot of his negative reactions seemed to lead to frowns. Quirked a lip up with a confused and offended, "Whaaaaa-?!" at being mean. He glared at her a little with his mouth scrunched, seeming to get a little angry because.. he had a slight anger problem D: but he did enjoy jokes :> and seeing Lumi stick her tongue out he would lighten up from the angered look that was started to form. Hearing the mock he would drop his jaw a little with a smirk from being beaten at his own game. Nodding softly at it with more of a smirk and looking over her head like he just couldn't believe it with a soft, "Aight aight.. ya got me." [02:25] Lumiere stares him dead on, a smirk on her face. "You gonna go in the infirmary like I'm telling  you to? Or will you resist?" This followed by a chuckle. She stands there, still up in his face and doesn't move. "Huh? Huh?" :o [02:31] (no name) Lek smiled again with a cock of his head and nodding, "Yea yea, I ain't sleepin' in dere though.." Seeing her laugh his facial expression became softer again. He would lean in a little before realizing how close he was to her face and freeze up a little. His eyes relaxing as he looked in hers and went quiet, shifting between her lips and her eyes before playing with a piercing in his own mouth. He seemed to hesitate before finally backing up with a light blush and moving towards the door a little quiet, "Alright.." [02:33] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): Tiki would sleep on his back and his heal tilted backwards where his white chin showed and slept like that. Like a dog XD [02:33] Lumiere looks at him blankly, not expecting him to give up so easily. "O-okay.. But, you're spending the night," she says, pushing him into the infirmary. [02:36] (no name) Lek turned halfway at her with a pout while still blushing, "Whaaaa-?!" before he was pushed into the infirmary and just stumbled about inside. Clenching his teeth in pain from it but held in a grunt so she wouldn't go apologizing like crazy again. His eyes diverted to Teshak's window to see the demi-human asleep and eased up a little to know he at least wouldn't be glared at all night DX Turning around to Lumiere and walking backwards as he motioned to the whole scenery, "Mmmmmm boring green blob paint. fuuuuun."
[02:38] Lumiere continues to walk forward, forcing him into the room behind him. "Yeeeep, better get used to it, cause even if I have to force you to, you're staying here." Yet again she sounds firm and if he didn't know so by now, she'd stick by it. "Or are you gonna try and leave?" [02:42] (no name) Lek went all D: as she continued to walk forward and tried to walk backwards faster to prevent her from catching up, "Nnnnnaaaaaaahwaaa-?!" Turning around quickly as he brought his shoulders inwards a little, "I'm goin' I'm going damn... crazy chick." He went into the other room after moving the curtain out of the way. Hearing about being forced to stay he frowned again at her, "Well.. bettah hook some damn DSL in here o' somethang... WiFi or some shit.." It was half joking and half true :> He yawned a little but turned to hide it as best he could from her and put a fist over his mouth before adding, "If I leave ya wouldn't know ahnyways." [02:45] Lumiere raises an eyebrow, smirking. "I will if I stay here, too." Her hands find her hips as she looks sooo smug, "I should probably stick around in case Teshak wakes up and something goes wrong." Nodding, she looks at him with that smiiiirk. So cocky all of a sudden. Dang. "Your ass needs to rest and this is the best place for it, right now." Yep. [02:52] (no name) Lek just gave a tired look at her =.= at hearing he wouldn't be able to leave before a smirk came at another tease, "Ohhh really?! Ya wanna stay herr wit mee huh?!" He made a flirty click of his teeth twice and smiled. Just because she had a boyfriend didn't mean he couldn't at least mess with her :> taking a deep breath the boy went to sit down and take off his backpack. Plopping it on the ground with an exhaused grunt with relief from the T-Board's weight lifted off. He dropped backwards in his sit to rest his sore back across the width of the bed while his legs were still off and over the edge. Looking up at the ceiling as he just sigh with a mutter of, "Goodpaingoodpain." that did sound painful in his voice. Yawning again as he shuffled for the mp3 and called out towards her, "So.. Miss Health Poelice, where ya gunna sleep?" [02:57] Lumiere follows him behind the curtain, sitting down on the edge of the bed. Her cocky behaviour doesn't waver as she looks over her shoulder to him, "I'll figure something out, it's not really your concern. You're the one who needs to chill." [02:57] Lumiere sticks her tongue out at him again afterwards. [03:02] (no name) Lek looked over to her with his arms spread out, lifting the left one up to push her a little. His foot kicking the backpack on the floor as it swung about bored. The boy's pierced brow quirked up with a soft, "Pffft!" sound at her attitude, "Don't tell mi ta chill miss thang." Peeking down at the mp3 his thumb rolled across the circle to scroll through the playlist as his voice lowered in a joke, "Well ya COULD get dat friend o' yurs ovah. Sleepen partay Ohhhhhhhh?!" He scooted a little towards the window as if she was going to do some wrestling move backwards onto him. [03:04] Lumiere turns around and sighs. She goes to take off her backpack and would have probably thrown it at him, but he doesn't need to be hit with the heavy book inside. "Callista wouldn't, even if I wanted to do something like that. Don't get your hopes up," she snickers, dropping the bag to the floor with a heavy thud. "You're lucky I don't try to beat you." Mumble mumble. :< [03:11] (no name) Lek shifted himself in a rotation to finally lay properly on the bed while canting his head to look past his feet towards her without having to put too much strain on his collar bone. Whenever she turned around he would just have that stupid smile on his face again, "Hey man, a guy can dream." His voice lingering and soft in a joke again. Only to let another 'Pffft' out upon being beat up, "See. So uptight." He moved a hand up to itch at his brow, knowing completely the hypocrisy in that statement with his anger especially towards non DC members. Digging his heel down to scoot lower and kick lightly at her butt, "Relax will ya?" [03:15] Lumiere squeaks out loud as he lightly kicks her. Instantly she turns around, her face red as she glares at him. "I'm.. I'm not uptight." Looking the other direction, she folds her arms over her chest and pouts. Uptight. Buh. She should leave. "And don't tell me to relax," she pauses, "if you're gonna be a tease." > .> [03:18] (no name) Lek winced as she spun around to face him and just gave this stupified look again as he stared blankly before blinking at her glare. Shifting painfully to sit upright with a small groan and grunt before listening to her. Giving a light smug look towards her more in a 'oh comon' fashion than rude before it vanished at being called a tease. Furrowing his brows a little as he scratched his nose, "What...?" [03:21] Lumiere:  "Nothing. You're lucky you're injured," she mutters quietly as she faces foward, twiddling her thumbs in her lap: her nervous habit. She may have been acting confident today but, in reality, she doesnt do well with boys alone in situations like this. Oh boy if Usagi knew, she'd never hear the end of it. Then again, Usagi has no place to talk. She nods to herself, probably looking silly. [03:26] (no name) Lek frowned, scooting up even more as he sighed. He was about to say something but closed his mouth while watching her move about and... nod to herself. He looked around to try and see if there was a phone in her ear or anything before statting rather confused, "Uhhhh... you a-ight?" Shuffling in his pocket to take out his phone and look down at something before statted, being reminded after seeing names in his contacts. "Oh. Uhhh what was ya name again....dont think ya told me so... yea..." [03:28] Lumiere feels completely stupid, realizing that she'd never introduced herself and had been acting like this. "Oh, shit... Sorry. Uhm. I'm Lumiere. I've heard Cace say your name so..." Back to twiddilng her thumbs again. Stupid, stupid girl. :3 [03:30] (no name) Lek arched up his brow at it, "Uh Lu- wha- Lumuar?" When mentioning Cace he would just shrug with a light, "So...?" Not exactly understanding why she felt so sorry. Hyne knows he wouldn't feel sorry for something like that, or at least let it be shown :C [03:32] Lumiere:  "Just call me Lum or Lumi or something." She pulls her legs up to her chest again like earlier, though she seemed less... Peppy? "So...? You don't need to introduce yourself to me. I know your name." [03:38] (no name) Lek frowned a little, "Well how ya say yur real name err.. full name. It's all ... fanceh and shit." He smiled a little and noting a song on the mp3 would play it with the volume barely audible for him so he could still continue a conversation. Although with knowing the song by heart he still bobbed to the beat while looked back to see her legs pulled up. Looking down and scratching at the side of his nose a little from the mention of his name, "Uh yea... everyone's cahls me dat... uhhh ya look hella uncomftabal like dat." He started to painfully shift again towards the edge of the bed like the boy was planning on standing. [03:40] Lumiere lays her head on her knees, facing away from him. "I'm not really that uncomfortable." She'd gotten quiet all of a sudden, wtf? D: Though, hearing him rustle, she starts to get up herself. Reaching out to him, putting her hand on his shoulder, she presses downward gently to gesture for him to stay put. [03:46] (no name) Lek plopped down from any progress and looked up at her with a frown, "Da hell... ya like a mom o' somethang?" He would start to motion and try to get up again with a painful grunt at the meds were probably wearing off by now, "Sit down on da bed or somethang... just lookin' at ya makes me uncomftabal." He sighed a little, even in offering her his bed he had to do it in a slightly rude fashion to try and hide being nice. :>
[03:47] Lumiere looks at him like, The Hell? "No? But you shouldn't be getting up so much, I'm fine, or I wouldn't sit here," she says, flailing an arm at him. "By the way, how are you feeling? Should I go get more of the medication or...?"  Tilting her head to the side, she looks at him dead on yet again~ :o [03:53] (no name) Lek finally took off his hat and toss it to the ground like the infirmary was a bedroom. His hair cocklicked and tangled in hat hair before plopping his right hand on top and trying to comb it down as best he could, "Well I'm fine, it's not like I'm bleedin' ta death o' nothin'." Seeing the flailing arm he couldn't help but smile and let out a huff of breath in a soft laugh at it. "I guess.. startin' ta get worse again so drugs sound good to me." Flicking his tongue in his mouth to play with his piercings it would make the slightest clanking noise as it hit his teeth while not thinking much of it. Her dead on look just accompanied by his blank one. [03:56] Lumiere nodding, she hops up and makes her way towards the shelf, twiddling her thumbs the entire time. She could probably run off if he ever fell asleep, baw. [03:59] (no name) Lek waited until she left before lifting himself up in a soft groan to look over. Not being able to see her he would just move out of the bed and limp in a stumble towards the wall. Putting his back to it before sliding down with a painful grunt. [04:02] Lumiere fiddles around with the bottles on the shelf, trying to find the same ones from earlier. Seeing the bottle, she takes a few and heads back towards Lek after putting the bottle back in it's rightful place. "Here," quietly said, still. She leans over, hanging her arm over him as if she were going to drop them. "And, I told you not to get up. Are you dumb?" Even if she'd questioned his intelligence, she doesn't say it as if to be mean. [04:06] (no name) Lek scooted his back more comfortably to the wall as she started to come in and fiddled about with his phone to play it off. JUST ACT NATURAL. Looking over and stretching an open palm facing up for the pills, "Got wadder?" Hearing her again he just motioned towards the bed with a slightly annoyed look at being called dumb, "Well looks like ya gotta sit on da bed now. Dis comfy ahnyways so.... it ain't no thang." [04:07] Lumiere sighs as she takes off her glasses to rub the bridge of her nose. "Sit on the bed, or else?" She says it half assedly before turning around again, "I'll go get you something to take that with but, I won't let you have it if you're still on the floor when I come back." Mumble mumble. :< [04:09] Lumiere messing around with the shelves again, she takes a small cup and takes it to the sink. She looks over to her right to see if Lek's still sitting in the floor. >> [04:11] Lumiere checks her phone for a sec, turning red and quickly typing a reply. She shoves it back in her pocket in a flustered rush. "Buh." [ [04:13] (no name) Lek quirked the pierced brow at her while speaking a little more brusk, "What?" He just took a deep breath with a frown before easing up as she offered to get water. Shuffling on the ground as he started to take off his jacket. Why's he taking all his stuff off! D: Well it was night :> Grumbling and mumbling something in return in frustration as grunts were heard upon standing. Limping lightly towards the bed before sitting down on it and waiting for her. Hearing something he tried to peek over with a confused, "Wha-yasaysomethang?" [04:14] Lumiere:  "N-no. Ugh..." Her head hits the wall lightly. Since she's leaning over it anyway, she gets Lek a bit of water and stands there with her head against the wall for a bit. Apparently Callista thought Lek was her boyfriend. That's... Laughable. [04:19] (no name) Lek quirked another brow and tried to lean over and peek, "Uhhhh don't kill yurself fo' damn waddah..." Especially after hearing the thud... what the hell was she doing over there anyways? Taking the water he looked at he just all the more confused and popped the pilled in his mouth. Tilting his back a little to gulp down the cup of water before looking at her again, "Ya nevah answered mah question ya'know. Bout how ta say yur full name." [04:21] Lumiere apparently already gave him the water so, she'd sit down next to him so he wouldn't say anything about it. "Loo-mi-air?" She shrugs. [04:25] (no name) Lek moved over to give her space so the girl wasn't so uptight about sitting down. Looking over to her a little confused, "Loo- mi- yeaaaaaaaaaar.. loo-mi-air?" He smirked a little after hearing himself, "See, told ya. Fancy ass name. It's.. pretty." [04:27] Lumiere scoots back towards him, to try and press his buttons. Totally under the assumption that he moved away for lulz. However, upon hearing that compliment, she blushes yet again. Easy blusher. :c "Th-thanks. It's a dead language." She shrugs again. [04:35] (no name) Lek looked over with a little smirk as she moved closer and only growing into a smile as she blushed, "Ye-" He turned a little and put a fist to his mouth to yawn. Looking back over and blinking more with a slight heavy feeling in his eyes, "Well..." When she wasn't looking he totally checked her out for a moment, "Ya go out wit dat ratboi right?" [04:37] Lumiere:  "Hnn? Yeah. He got expelled though, we haven't been talking as much," she sighs. They're a really awkward couple, plus with all the recent events, they've been seeing each other less. "I dunno," she sighs again. "It's weird. It sorta feels like we're not dating at all and have slight cuddles fests on occasion." The phrase "cuddle fest" making her giggle a bit due to how stupid it must sound. "Why?" Turning to look at him, she props an arm up and rests her head in her palm. [04:44] (no name) Lek looked down and played with the loose threads on his bottom of his baggy shorts, "Uh yea..." He remembered how he reacted to her then, sounding a little down at the thought of the kid getting expelled and Lumi besides the headmaster that had threatened lives. Looking back over as she continued speaking, left leg near his chest while resting against it and the injured one hanging over. Hearing about not dating his eyebrow quirked and he seemed a little.. happier? D: Hearing the cuddle fests though and seeing her giggle he frowned. Getting the wrong assumption as he spoke, "Cuddles fests.. is that.. a new codeword now?" He gave her that goofy smirk of a slight tease all 'what have YOU been doing' look. [04:45] (no name) Lek never answered her question of Why :> [04:46] Lumiere blushes hardcore, waving her hands in front of her face, "N-no! It's nothing like that! We've only ever kissed twice and..." she looks down at her feet with an annoyed expression. "He's the only person I've ever kissed, and it's only been twice." [04:46] Lumiere didn't realize. :D [04:51] (no name) Lek laughed a little with a mischeivious smirk at her hands waving about, "AIght, gon't get yer-" hearing the rest it was a good thing he didn't finish that phrase. Looking a little in disbelief at her, "Really? So dat's yur first boifrend? ....twice... dat's it..?" His head lifted up a little in a tease, "Dat's why yur so uptight!" Lek let a soft, "Pffhfhfhf." Out before asking, "Why old are ya ahnyways?" [04:53] Lumiere rubs the back of her neck, still looking annoyed. "I'm seventeen and sorry that I don't have a bunch of experience under my belt with guys." She asks again, "Why? Huh? How about you? Got a girlfriend? How old are you? What do /you/ do with other people?" She leans towards him, getting in his face yet againnnnnn. "Why you so nosy?" = u= [05:00] (no name) Lek smiled at her getting her panties in a bunch again :> Which he wanted to say so badly if it wasn't for her already flipping about over something like a kiss. Hearing her chains of questions he would leaned away a little and laugh, "Chill chill.." Suddenly blushing a little at what he does with other people. Since as a teenage boy he would sort of think of naughtier things at least in a second or two D:! "Uhh wha-wait what?!" Leaning back even more as she leaned forward and frowning, "Me nosy? Ya da one wit all that questions! I don't gotta girlfriend, uhhh seventeen... and... what's dat sposa mean? What I do? If ya WANNA get into detail..." That probably sounded so wrong, and he knew it. The kid just smirked a little again and expected the girl to freak out some more. [05:02] Lumiere continues to intrude in his personal space by leaning forward still. "Well you're bombarding me with questions, why can't I bombard you with questions?" Her face is red for the millionth time, though she stopped trying to hide it a while ago. However, she does look particularly pissed. Or something. Who knows. "So? Huh? Why you gotta know so much about me if you're gonna get all blah on me." [05:08] (no name) Lek cocked his head a little in a 'holy fuck' manner Dx at her telling him off, "A-ight a-ight... calm yurself geerl." Seeing hear lean forward even more the boy's blush didn't seem to fade one bit. Frowning at her second line of questions, "What...? I ain't gotta know bout you! Was jus askin', chill out. Blah on you? PFffffffft what's dat even mean?! And why ya getting so close ?! HMMM?!" He stopped leaning away so they would be even closer and would bump into her with a higher pitch joking voice, "Jus gotta get cloooooooooosah?!" [05:08] Luctor just enters like a pimp. [05:10] Lumiere stops being stupid as soon as Lek stops moving away. "... You're really odd." Finally realizing what an idiot she is, she snaps back into place, pulling her legs up to her chest and glaring at him. "It doesn't matter." [05:15] (no name) Lek gave her a dumbstruck look of 'yea right' on being called odd, "Pssh okay, me? If yur face gets ahny redder ya gunna be like one of dem Bombs in da fire cave." Seeing her pout he frowned again, leaning into his own knee a little with a slight doze before pulling himself back up. [05:17] Luctor was just here to get some slreeping pills, he finally returned to being an field SeeD after months of staying in Garden, teaching kids.This time he wasnt faking being an sleepwalker last time so he could grope girls :c XD He was strasightforward this time.Taking his pills, he'd hear voiices in the nest room, and decided to check on Lek.And when he did..He stayed silenta nd wide eyed."Oh.Sorry.Carry on what'cha  doing." He'd turn to leave. [05:19] (no name) Lek frowned softly, "Aye wha?! Nah I'm good. I ain't tired.. So ya only kissed him twice? Soooooooo yur pretty much as nub as dey get huh?" the slightest of a smirk as he joked about it. Wincing as he heard somebody and looked over towards Luctor with a slight blush coming back, "What's dat sposa mean?!"
[05:21] Lumiere shoots him yet another glare, "W-what? Am I supposed to throw myself at every available guy?" Turning away from him, she pouts . Her actions seem to repeat themselves a lot, huh... She paid no notice to Luctor and after looking back at Lek, wondered why in the world he'd blush at random. Dirty thoughts probably, the perv. D: [05:28] Luctor shrugs, with a misgiving smirk, a face shown when trolling someone."Oh, I thought I interrupted your fun.With an now obvious irish accent, he'd turn to talk towards Lumiere."Pardon me ingulgence..but a bonny lassy such as ye, wou'd be wasting herself'ith a smug lik'im. " He'd spit his tongue out to Lek."Healing already or not?" [05:30] Lumiere turns, confused with Lutor's accent. "P-pardon..?" o_o [05:32] (no name) Lek would have, before noticing Luctor, added to Lumiere only a smile and shake of his head, "Nah.. but... ya still nub.." When Luctor spoke though Lek seemed to change back into the smug look and brusk tone, "Wha-" Looking between him and Lumi before glaring at the instructor, "Yo watch yo mouf!" His anger was already seeming to come out rather quickly despite how much it didn't even show when Lumiere got poutty or cocky. Shifting in his seat a little with a dirty look like he was ready to stand and ignoring the healing question, "Dont call me smug man, want mah help and gunna start shit den ya not gettin' ahny!" [05:33] Maybel starts rooting around in the first aid box (where ever that is I assume here) cause she just got back from UFO hunting in the grasslands but fell out of a tree and now her leg is bleeding :c it's 5am so nurses are probably sleeping or something. She's making a lot of noise :> [05:45] Luctor would now give Lek an challenging cocky grin."Wonan go at'it, punk?! " " Luctor is just a troll, he wouldnt hurt an wounded person But the loud noises drew his attention and went to check out.Seeing maybel bleeding, he'd frown and nod to her."Let me help." He'd bash around for a bandage and disinfectant.He'd return with both and kneel before her with a smile."Stay still,it may sting abit." So he sprayed the wound and then wrapped the bandage around it :O [05:50] (no name) Lek stood up quickly only to stumble forward and grab the wall. Looking down at his right thigh like he was going to stab it for being injured >:C A small groan of pain as he turned to see Luctor leave and rose his voice, "Have fun wit dat solja bitch cause I ain't gunna help ya if ya wanna keep startin' shit!" Grunting angerly, not knowing where he went or why really :> and looking over at Teshak just to make sure he didn't wake the kid up. his voice remained brusk as he limped back to the bed to plop on it. Speaking too low for Luctor or Maybel to hear, "A disgrace o' a teacha, dat's what. He fuckin' rides his T-Board in da Garden. Should be fired." [05:54] Lumiere leans over and pokes Lek's side, "You should chill out, even if..." 'Cause god knows getting worked up, standing on a bad leg and not staying in bed with injuries is a bad thing. Mhm. Standing, she  simply goes to the corner and sits on the stool there, watching Lek. "You didn't hurt yourself did you?" [05:59] (no name) Lek winced at her poke and pushed her away with a mutter, "Awha-yahey.." Still brusk but not nearly as he just was. Frowning he would just move to lay down as she moved towards the stool. Laying on his back and staring up at the ceiling he would take out the mp3 and turn it on. Leaving the volume low to hear her besides it only being in one ear to begin with, "Nnno." spoken a little blunt. He didn't nearly have that soft and playful mood to him like before. [06:01] Lumiere sighs as she swings her legs, not really sure what to say. "You sure you don't wanna sleep?" Though, she proabably coudn't sleep if he stopped talking to her, so she'd go roam the library and read a book. Something like that. She wasn't really going to stay here but, she was sure as hell going to make sure he stayed here. :| [06:02] (no name) "No propblem.Did it hurt much?" Luctor said with another smile. He was wondering why such a cute little girl was out that late in the night, on top, bleeding.He didn't know much about Maybel, he only first met her at the docks,and gave her food, after learning she was the long missing abducted child by those Galbadians.Plus, she didn't look older than 14,15 maximum to him D: " Well, what were you doing up this late?It's past the curfew." He'd alos troll at them couple inside..cause he can.."AS A MATTER OF FACT..I DONT NEED SOMEONE TO HELP THAT CANT EVEN CONSFICATE ONE THING>Nyahahaa!" Anyway, he'd giggle abit and turn to Maybel awaiting for a answer [06:03] Lumiere continues to be confused by Luctor; thus she ignores him. [06:10] (no name) Lek seemed more awake anyways with his blood at least slightly boiling, "Nah. I ain't tired." Hearing Luctor raise his voice he would slide the mp3 bar quickly to blast the music and drown out most of what Luctor said before a low and brusk that only Lumiere could probably hear with how grumbled it was in his throat, "Probley lost dat sword ahnyway cause ya cant keep it down perv.." He at least didn't shout and rage back like usual since Lumiere and Teshak were there. [06:12] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): fuckin' perv* D: [06:14] Lumiere frowns, "Aye, chill..." Lek's not very fun when he's pissed. He needs to stop that. He needs to stop that right now. D:< Starting up her usual habit of twiddling her thumbs, she begins to look around the room, feeling terribly awkward. [06:22] (no name) Lek looked over to her with a glare before it eased up with a deep breath. A small frustrated grunt on the exhale before he murmured a softer, "I'm fine." With some more time and calming himself the boy would yawn and look over at her. Lowering the volume a little he lazily kicked off his chucks by pushing at the back and sliding them over the edge of the bed. Peeking over at her again with a more relaxed look, "Ya really jus gunna sit dere da whole time?" [06:24] Lumiere:  "Hnn? Well, yeah. I told you I would. What do you expect me to do?" She shrugs, continuing to twiddle her thumbs. Still feeling rather awkward, she didn't really look at him as she spoke but instead was staring at the ceiling. Like that's gonna help. "I dunno, if you wanna leave the infirmary again, that's fine I guess. Just can't go anywhere terribly far." [06:27] Luctor looked back into the room, or atleast in that generic area and sighed."Well, then I'm expecting 140 gil for that painkiller." :c Ussually he wouldn't ask, but Lek's an ass xD.Then he smiled at Maybel."Well..you don't have to say.." He'd kinda lean in and whisper to her, so only her could hear."..cause there is a DC there.If he asks, I'll cover for you." It is strange that a SeeD is going against the Headmaster, and ontop, an Ex-Instructor.But He sucks ass :c [06:30] (no name) Lek started to get tired again as he calmed down and yawn even again with a few blinks. Smirking a little at her question, "Well... ta not sit in da... nevermind.." Seeing her twiddle the thumbs about he felt a little bothered. He started to get the idea that e probably made things awkward. "Well... uhhh..." The boy went quiet for awhile and frowned, grumling a little as he forced the word out that he rarely used, "Sss....sorry." frowning instantly after using it and shrugged, "Well with yur uptight nub kissing bomb face two steps out da infirm is too far fir you." He wouldn't have heard Luctor's remark because he had did have louder music at the time :C [06:33] Lumiere laughs, covering her face with her scarf again at his apology. It sounded funny and she wasn't sure why he'd apologized. "You tell me not to apologize so much and then you turn around and apologize for no reaso--" Nub kissing bomb face... What. "Aye. It's not my fault that I'm 'nub' at it, whatever that means..." Just like earlier, she tugs her scarf over her face because she can feel herself blushing agaaaaain. Holy shit, Lumi. Suddenly she cares again, too. "Should I make fun of you, too? Huh?" > 3> [06:41] (no name) Lek frowned as she laughed and just ended up blushing a little, "Wh-what's so funneh!?" hearing her explaination he poutted even more and plopped onto his back again, "I had a reason, I got mad. So... yea..." Smirking a little towards her in a more teasing voice, "Yea it is, bet he'd kiss ya if ya weren't so uptight!" He was starting to get use to seeing her pull up the scarf and even in this short time with Lumi doing the action over what seemed like a dozen times it was getting expected of her. Frowning again at making fun of him, "Hey. I don't apologize often." He looked at his mp3 and poutted with a grumble, "So just... enjoy it while it lasts..." [06:43] Moon (rafiel.sporaciao): dont apologize much* [06:44] Lumiere:  "Eh!?" she squeaks loudly. Practically ripping her hands away from the scarf, she points at him. Totally flustered. "I-I'm not uptight! And.. And, ugh! It's not my fault." Her excitement quickly turns into a quiet mumble. "He's just not really the kissing type, I think." 'Cause Marcus is really awkward and stuff. D: [06:46] Luctor frowns since Lek didn't answer and now Maybel was looking for food in her bag."...I think you should eat in your dorm.Its kinda late too.School will open in 3 hours afterall." [06:48] (no name) Lek grinned a little, "Not uptight... says da one flailin' all ova da room about a kiss." Hearing about it being because Marcus wasn't the kissing type he looked over a little confused, "What...? So what is he, a priest o' somethang?" [06:50] Lumiere ponders it for a moment, the action being obvious from her facial expressions while doing so. "Uhmmm... Well, he's not really a relationship person in general, now that I think about it. He's very.. stoic?" She shrugs, propping her arm up on her leg again as she leans forward to rest her head in her hand. "We just don't kiss much," she pauses, looking at Lek for a few moments. "Does being uptight make me unkissable or something?" [07:01] (no name) Lek rolled his shoulder a little with another soft yawn and still seeming dumbstruck, "Stoic?" He flipped out his phone and totally googled that word, "Uhhh endures pain widout showin feelins'? What's dat gotta do widda relations..oh wait.." He seemed to have found the rest of the definition or read the rest of the same one, "Uhhh so he's a robot?" Lek arched a brow and looked more towards her and when she mentioned not kissing much he let out a quick, "Psssh. He's dumb. I mean... He must be gay or somethang ta not wanna kiss ya.." Putting the phone back in his pocket he would start to remove the piercings in case he did pass out, "What?" Lek looked over at her question and stared blankly, looking at her with softer eyes before looking to the ceiling again. Undoing the piercings on the brim of his nose, "I don't mean it like dat.. if ahnythang it jus means ya need ta be kissed mo' or ya'know... get laid.. but you don't seem like dat kinda chick.." He smirked a little and awaited some kind of flailing [07:01] (no name) about from her before adding, "Guys usually like innocent geerls so... it jus makes ya mo' cute."
[07:06] Lumiere sits quietly, listening to what Lek has to say. When she asks if he's a robot, she sorta bursts out laughing. "I've totally called him that before~!"  Glad to know that someone agrees, even if Marcus just turned into an awkward boyfriend robot... thing. Though, once he starts mentioning how he's dumb and all that rot, she looks the other way. You could probably guess why. Mhm. "I'm not cute," she mumbles, flailing her arm half-assedly in his direction. [07:06] Lumiere adds, "And if you're tired, sleep dammit." [07:14] (no name) Lek removed the three and would try to roll on his side aaand that wasn't happening. Besides it already being a pain when twirking the neck it caused the most problem in using shoulder muscles which when he tried to use to get the piercings on the bedpost he would just grunt and groan in pain. Almost rolling off the bed just to succeed with a quite and huffed, "Ah shit.." Before grunting back on his back and just staring at the ceiling. Thinking he might not want to do that for every set of piercings. Moving to his eyebrows to take those out and laughing a little, "Yea.. I think I heard him talk befo' too if I'm thinkin' of the right guy..wait yea the redhead ratboi right? He.. talks... like that sam program on my computer I swear." Taking the eyebrow piercing out fully he moved to his ears. He had alot of piercings! hearing not cute the boy looked over and just glared at her, "Really? Ya still gunan say dat?" Groaning he looked ready to facepalm, "What's up wit women and not takin' a compliment when dey [07:15] (no name) get one? Ya'know... if alotta guys call ya hot.. den ya probley hot. Or else dey wouldn't say that, would they?" Upon her add he would simply put a blunt but playful, "Nope." To the comment. [07:21] Lumiere pouts as she stands, then leaning over him. "You want help with that? You're makin' a lot of noise. Can't be good." Though, without waiting for him to consent, she starts gently removing piercings. "And yes, the rat boy. He's not particularly fond of you, but you knew that." Then again, it's not like Marcus knows when it's apropriate to open his mouth. Aghhh that guy. "He means well though, usually." Holding open her hand, she motions for him to give her the rest of the piercings he'd taken out so she could put them aside. "Yes, I will say that." <Ya'know... if a lotta guys call ya hot. Den ya probley hot. Or else dey wouldn't say that, would they?> "Well it's not like I get that a lo--" Cue blushing, again. D: [07:34] (no name) Lek plopped a hand over his face, "Ahwhat?!" Now he was the one hiding behind something as she started to remove piercings. Blushing a little embarassed as the boy tensed up, "Uh..... N-no whayadoin'?! Ijusthadtroubelgettingemonthathingahhhhhwaitstop!" He would try to manuever away, feeling really strange and shy to have her touching at his face DX He would put two hands over his face and try to cover ears and mouth where there were the only piercings left which made his hand position look like he was reenacting some squid trying to eat his face. Muffling through his hands at her, "Jus... put them.... on tha... bedpost..." Taking a deep breath and easing up a little he just frowned, "I know, nothin' new fo' me. He dunno when ta shut it though..." Yea that was pretty much all their arguments anyways, "He's like a walkin' spellchecka and tries ta act like he's smarter den everyone else..." Looking over with a pout at the open hand before plopping literally around 12 or so piercings from just his ears and [07:34] (no name) and mouth into her hand and some even being connect by three rings which made it more of 3 piercings than one anyways. Peeking up at her with a blank look, "Really? Den they jus scurred da tell ya up front. Cause well... yur hot. So stop thinkin' ya ain't." [07:37] Lumiere continues to blush as she walks to the other side of the bed to place them where he'd said to. Who was she to get flustered by some flirt's comments. She shakes her head, placing them on the bedpost. "Hnnng.." [07:41] (no name) Lek watched her and added a rather quick, "Thanks." that could barely be heard before looking to his mp3. His face probably looked a whole lot different without piercings filling it up, "Somethang wrong?" [07:43] Lumiere:  "Hn? Nothing. Why?" Back to twiddling her thumbs. Yep. "I need to get a grip," she says quickly under her breath,  hoping he wouldn't pick up on it. "Tired, maybe?"
[07:47] (no name) Lek shrugged, "Ya kinda go 'hnnn' or somethang before goin' quiet so... was jus askin'.." Yea he would notice something small like that D: "What dat like.. yur thinkin' noise? Nahaha." Smiling a little now before hearing.... whatever it was. "What?" He leaned forward like she was going to repeat it for him, "Ya meet a ... rip... or..." If she didn't answer he wouldn't push it after noticing her quick response of something else that probably meant the mumbling wasn't something she wanted heard. Which he knew quite a bit about as a mumbler himself, "Uhhh I guess. I'll jus shutup and sleep if yur dat tired." [07:51] Lumiere repeats herself quietly, "I need to get a grip, I said." Yeahhh, she's not looking at him after she says that. Not sure if she should leave, she looks about nervously, feeling sillier than eariler. Yay, awkward Lumi.
[07:53] Lumiere:  "And I'm not that tired. So you don't have to shut up if you don't want to?" Facepalming, she sits down on the floor against the wall, looking up at him.
[07:59] (no name) Lek stops for a moment and watches her, blinking a few times before a smile overcame him. "Damn..." Shaking his head a little about who know D8 When she got all quiet and nervous he was too sure how to react himself in calming her down. "Get a grip frrrooom... T-Boardin'?" He wanted to say something that made her think he was 100% dumbfounded at the sentence although that was the best lie he could come up with at the time. He was usually a good liar, frowning a little and wondering what the hell was his problem. As she talked about not shutting up the boy watched her facepalm. Groaning a little frustrated he would roll painfully near the edge so he could see her better, "Aight well.. ya shuld no I ain't gunna shutup so if ya ain't tired... heh...I feel mad dumb layin' on da bed like some damsel and ya on da floor..." [08:03] Lumiere gives him a look as if he's stupid, "T-Boarding...?" Though, she appreciates his attempt of acting stupid and laughs a little bit. That laugh kinda dies when he starts rolling over to face her, "Oi. Don't move so much--" Haha. Damsel. He speaks really funny, but it's cool. "Sounds fine but, don't. You're injured, I'm not. Only makes sense." All the while, she continues to watch him. What a creeper. ;-; [08:03] Lumiere:  "Don't feel dumb, I mean." [08:11] (no name) Lek rubbed at his hair a little and tried to play it off and have the act of stupidity make some sense, "Uhhnnheh yea... ya'know... ya gotta grip the edge of da board... ta do tricks.. and shit..." He gave a weak smile which he wasn't one to ever fake a smile so it just looked completely failed. Although her laugh eased him up again. He still rolled anyways :> and stayed there despite her complaining about it, "Yea? Welllllllll thaaaaaaaaaaat's yuuuuuuuuuuur opinion." Yea he used that phrase in a lot of arguements but the tone and stretch of the words sounded more joking. "Ya coulda jus gotta... i'dunno... not like I'm restin' much.. da- er.. well.. Ermmmmmmm nevermind.." About 3 sentences went through his had and he just REJECTED them all to keep her from thumb twiddling again D: or maybe to keep him from doing that too :C [08:15] Lumiere smiles at him, laughing again as he fails to think of something to say. "Thanks. Sorry, I'm being really weird, and I need to take your advice and relax," she sighs. 'Cause flirty DC boy who's flirtier with her than her own boyfriend is so tempting.
[08:22] (no name) Lek frowned a little at the thanks since the tough ext.....nah it's a chick it's okay :> He lightened up again and quirked a brow at her apologizing again, "Well why ya wierd.. I mean... somein' up?" He looked looked down at the light starting to shine on the floor and peeked to the ceiling, "Uhhhh what time isit?"
[08:23] Lumiere takes her scarf and throws it in his face, "I don't wanna say-- Ah..." she pulls her phone out of her pocket and flips it open to check, "About 8:30AM. Holy shit." [08:30] (no name) Lek closed his eyes and just lie there like a sitting duck as the scarf plopped on his face and laughing a little he could smell her which made.. his cheeks flush the slightest before taking the scarf from his face. After asking her about the time her would have remembered he had a phone too and reached for it with a, "Wait no nevermind I got da...." although as she pulled her phone out faster he put his back all :| "Nevermind.." looking over see to hear the time and letting out a softer tone, "Nahaha, damn woman. Talk 'bout me gettin' sleep and den keepin' me up all night!" to add to the tease he would grunt a little pain while holding onto the scarf and moving it to the opposite side, "Well.. dis is mine now. Ya break it, ya buy it!" [08:34] Lumiere frowns, blushing a bit, "Sorry. I honestly did mean to get you to sleep."  As he claims her scarf, she stares at him blankly. "You like girly scarves?" [08:37] (no name) Lek shrugged, "I don't care, it was fun so... don't matter if I slept o' not.." When hearing about him liking girly scarves he tried to explain himself, "nah nahnah I mean ya tried ta wack DA FACE-" even if his back was turned he would motion to his whole head, "So ya gotta pa-" He just... gave up.. because the more he explained the more idiotic it sounded and would roll over withh :| expression before he tossed it back at her, "There. You win." [08:40] Lumiere smirks, tossing it back in his face a second time, "Noooo. I broke it, apparently." His antics were pretty cute, agh. At least she was kinda coming to her senses? Though she really should stop. "Changed your mind or something?" [08:44] (no name) Lek pouted a little, "Nah ya didn't break mah face, DIS-" He motioned to by spinning a finger around the whole head while facing her this time before opening his palm and without touching his face made a carwashing motion, -" IS UNSTOPPABLE!" He made that stupid smile again before speaking, "Change mah mind fir what?" [08:46] Lumiere giggles, "Okay, okay." Raising her arms in surrender, she sticks her tongue out at him, "Keeping that girly scarf.?  Iunno. I have others." Though she isn't really sure why he'd wanna keep it. Unless he likes polkadots? [08:50] (no name) Lek flattened his brows with a soft smile from her tongue sticking out, "Huh?" He looked at it and back to her blankly before tossing it towards Lumi, "Why would I keep it? Was jus playin'... Unless ya gotta nice dress ta match it fo' mi?" He quickly shook his hands in the air, "Aaaand now now that was a joke! Don't .... er... yea don't ... say .. wow.. that sounded mad gay.." He just.. facepalmed and tried to make sure Teshak wasn't awake to spread a rumor like that. [08:55] Lumiere wraps the scarf back around her neck as she laughs, "You're funny. And I'm sorry that I'm asking again but, you sure you don't feel like sleeping?" She felt like she should ask, considering what time it is. [08:57] (no name) Lek wasn't sure what was up with him, he's a goof but even moreso now it seemed. It was like watching what he said to prevent from embarassing her just lead to embarassing himself. Giving a quirked smile at being called funny since it just seemed like he was making a fool of himself, "Nnnnnnnthanks.." Rubbing at his eyebrow a little since it felt odd having piercings out sometimes D: He peeked to the light and back to her, "Nah man, I went through like... a tired mode and now dat it passed I'm not even sleepeh no mo'" [08:59] Lumiere scoots closer to his bedside, leaning against it. "You sure? 'Cause I'll sit here and talk to you for days if you let me." [09:02] (no name) Lek watched her scoot closer and laughed a little, "Nahahaha.. yea I'm shur, trust me ba- " He played off a word he was about to say and played with the hole in his lip before continuing, "If I really am tired I'd pass out while yo' talkin' so eitha way da talkin' not gunna botha me.. unless yur gunna yell at me da whole time or somethang. But I doubt it." [09:06] Lumiere looks up at him, grinning widely. "Cause I yell at you all the time." If she really wanted to, she could apologize for their past encounters but. Meh. He'd probably tell her otherwise or somethin'. That and, she didn't feel like she needed to for the first couple times she'd bitched at him. 8D Haha. "Thanks though, talking to you has made me feel better. Yesterday wasn't terribly bad but, I wasn't in a great mood." She adds, with a nervous chuckle, "I know better than to bitch at Cace." [09:13] (no name) Lek grinned a little himself, "Well.." Rubbing at his hair a little while looking around the room, "Yur not dat bad... I mean.. well.. I can tell ya I got alotta geerls here who...derr good at yellin'... trust me.." He frowned a little and rubbed at the brown and yellow bruise healing on his face. Blinking a little confused at the thanks, "What.... I.. did..? Uhhhhh... okay..." He couldn't really remember the last time someone said he actually made them feel better. "What happened yestahday?" Whenever Cace was mentioned he would look off a little before back to her, "Uhhh it was cool. I mean. You sayin' shit ta him.." His voice was quieter, he didn't want to really admit that he probably can't do that. [09:17] Lumiere pokes Lek's nose, giving him an odd look. "Uhm. If you wanna hear about it, I can tell you I guess." It was a particularly serious talk that she'd had with Usagi and well, eh. She felt kinda dumb by the end of it and it ruined her mood for the day, basically. "Eh, but.. Cace is my sister's friend. There's a reason, ya know? He's also my superior in the DC. I need to respect him, even if he pisses me off." [09:21] (no name) Lek went crosseyed when following the finger and starting to move back before it was too late, "Nawha?" rubbing at his nose a little with a frown as he listen. "Uhhh sure I guess.." He wasn't sure how to answer something like that since most female friends he had were... bitches to say the least. Shrugging lightly about Cace, "Yea but... it still took balls.. or .. ovaries.. ovary balls." He paused for a moment before realizing what he said and laughing about it. [09:23] Lumiere laughs with him, finding him to be weirdly charming with his Stupid-Lek-Speak. Mhm. That's what it is. "Wellllll... So, it's like this," she starts. "I'm from Dollet, like I said. 'Rents have a shop and we're pretty comfy. Big family, really close. Never had any issues till I decided I wanted to go train in a Garden, right?" She waits for his reaction before continuing. :o [09:26] (no name) Lek still smiled the slightest even of a centimeter as she started to tell the story, his eyes fixated on her while she spoke. Blinking a few times with a light nod to each key point although Lek being almighty curious he treated it like some story telling show with a questioning, "What kinda shop?" [09:30] Lumiere starts to continue but pauses, smiling a bit. "Does that matter? It's a general shop. Cace used to sell his dad's pelts to us. S'how he knows my sister." Leaning forward a bit more, she reaches up to his face and pinches his cheeks, "But the point is, I was on hella good terms with my family before I decided I wanted to come here.' She rolls her eyes as she lets go. "They want me to stay home and stuff like that. Take care of shop, go get married to a nice boy and let men handle the fighting. They're so old fashioned. It's like they're relics." <Insert Lumi bitching about shit here>
[10:32] (no name) Lek smirked a little, "Nah it's cool.." watching her burry in the blankets or whatnot he would just look at her with a 'wtf are you doing' look. The description of offing herself made him rather puzzled, "Uhhhh..." Hearing it continue he would frown a little, "Selfish..? What's offing mean?" The boy rubbed at his hair a little embarassed from the question but knowing himself he would think of the complete opposite of what it actually meant. [10:33] Lumiere:  "I felt like killing myself? How do you not know what offing yourself means? Buh." She kinda just stays still, hiding her face from him. :T

Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
New Post has been published on https://funnythingshere.xyz/awkwafina-i-was-always-the-crazy-one-the-funny-one-id-do-anything-for-a-laugh/
Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
The front desk clerk at the Beverly Hills Hotel is polite but puzzled. “Nora Lum? No, we have no one staying here of that name.” How about Awkwafina, I ask, spelling it out for him. He looks at me as though he thinks I might be messing with him. “Sorry, madam,” – is that a note of relief in his voice? – “no one of that name either.” I reach for my phone, but then I have an idea. Sandra Bullock? Suddenly I have the attention of all three front desk clerks. “This way, madam.”
“Who the fuck is Awkwafina? That’s everyone’s reaction,” laughs Nora Lum/Awkwafina (pronounced Aquafina) when I eventually find her. She and Bullock – or “Sandy” as Lum affectionately calls her – are both holding court at the hotel today to discuss their new movie Ocean’s 8, a female reboot of the Ocean’s Eleven crime comedy heist first made famous by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1960, then reprised by George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon in Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. In the movie poster Bullock and Lum are flanked by six other top-tier names: Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling. “No one knows why I was cast,” says Lum, who has just turned 30. “Even I don’t know. Gary Ross [the director] really took a chance on me. He saw something in me that I don’t think I even saw in myself. Because of his confidence, I felt confident, too.”
Tumblr media
Lum’s route to the top has been unconventional. In 2012, on her 24th birthday, she uploaded a rap video to YouTube entitled My Vag – sample lyric: “My vag speak five different languages / And told yo vag, ‘Bitch, make me a sandwich.’” Two things happened immediately, neither surprising. She was sacked from her job as a publicity assistant at a publishing company. And her father went ballistic. “He was screaming at me on the phone. He thought I was having a quarter-life crisis. And then we didn’t talk for a while…”
[embedded content]
What no one expected, least of all Lum, was that the video would become a viral hit and launch her on a career as a rapper and comedian. “I still can’t believe it worked: that’s crazy to me.” Absurdly brilliant, the song almost defies description. Suffice to say that “vag” or “vagina” is repeated 53 times and the video features Lum – wearing a “horrifying pair of chemistry goggles” – delivering random paraphernalia from a (thankfully unseen) vagina: a violin, a cabbage, a live cat, a toaster.
Adopted by some as a sort of feminist anthem – a belated response to Mickey Avalon’s 2006 My Dick – the video has received more than 2.5m hits. Even Bullock is a fan. “At some point Sandy discovered My Vag and loved it,” says Lum. “She shares it, which is really cool…”
Tumblr media
Views will no doubt increase dramatically this year as Lum hits the mainstream, appearing in both Ocean’s 8 and, later this summer, in Crazy Rich Asians. “It’s an amazing time to be in Hollywood,” enthuses Lum. “The landscape is changing. Here I am with an all-female cast and an all-Asian cast. I’m fairly new to this industry and I have not experienced some of the struggles I’ve heard about. Time’s up and it’s about time. No more bullshit characters for women, especially Asian American women. Don’t piss off whole communities of people.”
We meet first towards the end of her photoshoot. Although there are already at least 10 people in the room, Lum’s “wrangler” – as she calls her – is hesitant about letting me in, concerned I might write something revealing about the shoot. Fair enough: she’s just protecting her client. What she may not have grasped is that it is a little late to start protecting Lum. She has rapped about her vagina, joked about her apartment’s “semen-stained walls” and made quips about masturbation. Lum intervenes on my behalf. “Let her stay. What the fuck is she going to do? Write about my Spanx? Like I care…”
Tumblr media
Lum is funny and relaxed throughout the rest of the shoot, putting everyone at ease. When the photographer asks her to lean back on a fluorescent bench, she cackles loudly and hams it up. “It looks like I’m giving birth on the subway.” The stylist puts her in a pair of incredibly high rose-gold heels and she totters around delightedly: “I’m terrible in heels. I look like a little baby trying them on.” Her voice is surprisingly deep – at odds with her slight frame. She changes back into streetwear for the interview – cropped black T-shirt, black high-top sneakers and khaki trousers. “I got them in Target [the American equivalent of Tesco] yesterday – I have no fashion sense. I then treated myself to Louis Vuitton sneakers. Target and Louis Vuitton. Who am I? What am I?”
Funny that she should beat me to that question. It turns out that even Awkwafina finds it hard to explain Awkwafina. “There is a duality between Awkwafina and Nora. Awkwafina is someone who never grew up, who never had to bear the brunt of all the insecurities and overthinking that come with adulthood. Awkwafina is the girl I was in high school – who did not give a shit. Nora is neurotic and an overthinker and could never perform in front of an audience of hecklers.”
So if the phone rang early in the morning and she answered half-asleep, who would she be, Awkwafina or Nora? “Nora. I’m Nora most of the time. But when I’m in a good mood I’m Awkwafina. When I’m in a bad, sad, lonely mood, it’s Nora all the way. When I come home at night from being Awkwafina, that’s Nora. I compare it to The Mask…” She means the Jim Carrey movie about a timid bank clerk who discovers a magical character-changing mask. “Thank God for the mask.”
Born Nora Lum in 1988, to a Chinese American father and South Korean immigrant mother, she grew up in Flushing, Queens. Her early years were marked by tragedy. Her mother was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension shortly after Lum’s birth. “It was a very slow illness and she lived for four more years. I remember her, but I remember mostly when she passed… Obviously it was a very tragic situation, but I felt odd and uncomfortable when adults cried to me. One of the first emotions I ever felt was embarrassment. So I started trying to make them laugh.”
Her grandmother stepped in to help her father. “My grandmother was everything to me, she taught me that Asian women are strong, they’re not meek orchard-dwelling figures. She always knew I had something, not even star power but spunk – she got me singing lessons and we didn’t tell my dad, because he’d be like: ‘Why would you waste money on that, that’s just stupid.’”
At school, she was the comedian. “I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I’d do anything for a laugh, like dunking an ice cream in my eye. Everybody would be: ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe she did that!’ These were not intellectual jokes.” She attended a performing arts high school, where she played the trumpet. At 15, she came up with the stage name Awkwafina. “I just thought it was a funny name. And it was fitting that it had ‘awkward’ in it, because I am awkward.” After majoring in journalism and women’s studies, she went to China to study Mandarin, then worked at a video rental store, an air-conditioning company and finally a publishing company.
I don’t think I’ll ever carry myself like a star. Look at me now, bent over slurping up soup
Following My Vag, she released a rap album Yellow Ranger, then joined her idol Margaret Cho on Green Tea, a song which lampoons Asian stereotypes. Later she morphed into acting – appearing in comedy movies like Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising – and pioneered her own gloriously deranged web chat show Tawk, which she hosted from corner stores and laundromats, complete with an octogenarian, boombox-bopping sidekick – as well as a segment from her 84-year-old grandmother Grammafina, who delivers pearls of wisdom from a leather armchair in a darkened room, such as, “You want to throw a good party, you serve some hors d’oeuvres.”
“My grandmother’s such a ham,” Lum says. “She’s always like: ‘I’m so bad at acting.’ And then she murders it…”
In Ocean’s 8, Lum plays Constance, a pickpocket whose adroitness attracts felon Debbie Ocean, played by Bullock, who is planning a heist at New York City’s annual Met Ball. Before meeting the cast, Lum was terrified. “I had waking nightmares I would say something weird. But they welcomed me, they were so warm. There was so much laughter on set. I consider them my heroes – but now they are also my friends.” They keep in regular touch with a group text. “It’s always a joy to wake up to a text from one of them. We have a lot of gifs, a lot of laugh-out-loud jokes.”
Tumblr media
Lum – who still raps and has just released a five-song EP In Fina We Trust – does not think she will ever feel like a movie star. “I’m physically insecure. It came with puberty, not feeling pretty. But when I say that to my grandmother, she’s like: ‘Bitch, you’re fine…’ But I don’t think I’ll ever carry myself like a star. Look at me now, bent over slurping up soup.” She says she finds it hard to relax into her success. “Even when I’m lying in bed at night I’m thinking, ‘What more can I do?’ I keep feeling I’ll pay for it all some way.”
Yet she thoroughly enjoyed one moment while filming Ocean’s 8 in New York. “We were shooting this glamorous scene and I looked up and saw the office I got fired from. I thought: ‘Oh my God, everything has come full circle.’ I left that job in pursuit of Awkwafina. And here I was shooting a scene with Rihanna. Getting fired from that job really hurt my feelings. Now I could just look up and say, ‘Fuck y’all.’”
Lum still talks to her grandmother almost every day. “She’s my therapist.” And even her father has come round. “Now he won’t leave me alone,” she says affectionately, “although I still, to this day, get random emails about government jobs from all the job lists he signed me up for. He just wanted good for me.” On a personal level, she says she feels very settled with her long-term boyfriend: “I’m extremely happy. I’m in love.” And yet: “I’m not sure I will ever be the kind of woman who can retire into a family.”
I ask her if Lum and Awkwafina will ever go their separate ways. “At some point they might have to. I don’t think an 85-year-old Awkwafina will be the most normal look… By then people will be laughing at me, not with me – I will be coughing loudly and yelling at birds. But then I look at my grandmother and she’s still pretty fricking cool.”
Our time is up. The hotel wants the room back and someone is ringing the phone and knocking on the door simultaneously. “They’re aggressive as fuck,” she grumbles, as she grabs her things. “Oooh,” she exclaims, spying a side table crammed with bottles of designer water. “I’m just going to steal these.” She grabs an armful, chuckling as we leave the room: “I guess I’ll always be a hustler.”

Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
New Post has been published on https://funnythingshere.xyz/awkwafina-i-was-always-the-crazy-one-the-funny-one-id-do-anything-for-a-laugh/
Awkwafina: 'I was always the crazy one, the funny one. I'd do anything for a laugh'
The front desk clerk at the Beverly Hills Hotel is polite but puzzled. “Nora Lum? No, we have no one staying here of that name.” How about Awkwafina, I ask, spelling it out for him. He looks at me as though he thinks I might be messing with him. “Sorry, madam,” – is that a note of relief in his voice? – “no one of that name either.” I reach for my phone, but then I have an idea. Sandra Bullock? Suddenly I have the attention of all three front desk clerks. “This way, madam.”
“Who the fuck is Awkwafina? That’s everyone’s reaction,” laughs Nora Lum/Awkwafina (pronounced Aquafina) when I eventually find her. She and Bullock – or “Sandy” as Lum affectionately calls her – are both holding court at the hotel today to discuss their new movie Ocean’s 8, a female reboot of the Ocean’s Eleven crime comedy heist first made famous by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1960, then reprised by George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon in Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. In the movie poster Bullock and Lum are flanked by six other top-tier names: Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling. “No one knows why I was cast,” says Lum, who has just turned 30. “Even I don’t know. Gary Ross [the director] really took a chance on me. He saw something in me that I don’t think I even saw in myself. Because of his confidence, I felt confident, too.”
Tumblr media
Lum’s route to the top has been unconventional. In 2012, on her 24th birthday, she uploaded a rap video to YouTube entitled My Vag – sample lyric: “My vag speak five different languages / And told yo vag, ‘Bitch, make me a sandwich.’” Two things happened immediately, neither surprising. She was sacked from her job as a publicity assistant at a publishing company. And her father went ballistic. “He was screaming at me on the phone. He thought I was having a quarter-life crisis. And then we didn’t talk for a while…”

What no one expected, least of all Lum, was that the video would become a viral hit and launch her on a career as a rapper and comedian. “I still can’t believe it worked: that’s crazy to me.” Absurdly brilliant, the song almost defies description. Suffice to say that “vag” or “vagina” is repeated 53 times and the video features Lum – wearing a “horrifying pair of chemistry goggles” – delivering random paraphernalia from a (thankfully unseen) vagina: a violin, a cabbage, a live cat, a toaster.
Adopted by some as a sort of feminist anthem – a belated response to Mickey Avalon’s 2006 My Dick – the video has received more than 2.5m hits. Even Bullock is a fan. “At some point Sandy discovered My Vag and loved it,” says Lum. “She shares it, which is really cool…”
Tumblr media
Views will no doubt increase dramatically this year as Lum hits the mainstream, appearing in both Ocean’s 8 and, later this summer, in Crazy Rich Asians. “It’s an amazing time to be in Hollywood,” enthuses Lum. “The landscape is changing. Here I am with an all-female cast and an all-Asian cast. I’m fairly new to this industry and I have not experienced some of the struggles I’ve heard about. Time’s up and it’s about time. No more bullshit characters for women, especially Asian American women. Don’t piss off whole communities of people.”
We meet first towards the end of her photoshoot. Although there are already at least 10 people in the room, Lum’s “wrangler” – as she calls her – is hesitant about letting me in, concerned I might write something revealing about the shoot. Fair enough: she’s just protecting her client. What she may not have grasped is that it is a little late to start protecting Lum.
