Going Thrift Shopping with the main 4 (Hcs)

🛼- Summary - Head cannons about your experience thrift shopping with the boys!

- Pairing(s)- (SEPARATE) Kenny McCormick, Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Eric Cartman x gn!Reader

🛼- Reader info - gn!reader and established relationship

- Warnings - none! (Unless you count swearing ig lmao)

………………………………………………………

🐀 - Kenny McCormick -

He’s so down, he’s SEEN all the ice cold shit you’ve found, and wants in on the action asap

Kenny had known about thrifting for a while, but hadn’t put too much thought into it due to money being tight and all, but according to YOU

“You just have to know where to look”

“Trust me I know a spot” “trust me this is where the heat is”

And trust you he did, because after taking him to some fun spots, there was no going back.

Thrifting buddy 24/7, just LOVES looking at the old clothes and pretending to be an old geezer with you, it makes him giggle

Fr makes up stories about shit he finds, probably forced you to wear it and purposely make you feel silly

“THIS old sweater was worn in the trenches of Mexico alongside my great great grandpa” 💀💀 and it’s a Star Wars T-shirt

Purposely finds good and bad clothes for you and him (he has pretty good fashion sense so you KNOW when hes got a shit eating grin)

If the shop has changing rooms, expect long ass fashion shows, the man spends WAY too much time looking at himself. He probably won’t even buy anything 98% of the time!! He’s just having fun with you!

Honestly, neither of you fucking knew that South Park had so many little shops like that!! Small towns DECEIVE!

The both of you almost always get coffee after a haul, it just feels right

And showing up to Tweek Bros. In the new shirt/sweater/etc, he feels like royalty ngl

Overall Kenny really enjoys the time spent with you, and the small moments between showing each other items or clothes really makes him feel momentarily flushed (he sees this sparkle in your eyes and he can’t help but melt)

Probably calls you a Cougar if you’re wearing something he deems “old” smh 😔

Also expect lots of “this reminded me of you”s and its the ugliest t-shirt you’ve ever seen

🧤 - Kyle Broflovski -

Ok he probably didn’t understand it at first and got kind of worried like

Is this your last resort 😔😔 he wouldn’t mind getting you something nice if you wanted 😔😔😔

You had to explain its a THING for you, like, it’s fun and you can find some pretty cool and cute things if you look hard enough!

Whatever, he wants to join in order to understand, and he surprisingly has good luck with good finds?? You’ll definitely force him to try at least ONE thing

Listen. This boy dresses himself like his mom still picks out his clothes ok. Button-ups, polos, nice jackets, Kyle’s a smartass and he wants to dress the part (😍) so for some reason it’s SO new to him, and he’s worried he’ll find something stupid and he won’t even know

Just wants your approval (he’s a sweaty nerd)

SURPRISINGLY, FINDS THE COOLEST THINGS! EVERY TIME!

Ok not every time but the matching old ass Terrance And Phillip shirts are a huge flex to him so hes happy

You’ll probably buy most of the things he shows you (they become your favorite and you wear them constantly)

Kyle and you are the same.like. “Oh this? Kyle found this necklace when we went thrifting together 🙄🙄”

And he’s constantly letting everyone know “Yeah this is a 1986 original Terrance And Phillip T-shirt matching with my partner 🙄🙄”

Everyone’s sick of it

You’ll go home with him after thrifting and Ike will TOTALLY make fun of you guys

Kyle, poor boy so In love, gets extremely giddy when you’re wearing something he found for you (blushing mess tbh)

Melts even more when you get some old stuffed animal for Ike and Ike ends up ADORING it (bonus brownie points from Sheila and Gerald)

He still doesn’t understand the whole thrift thing, I mean, newer clothes just last longer and fit his style more!! What!!

He enjoys going with you anyways and lovingly watches you get excited over small things like that <3

🎸 - Stan Marsh -

Crazy not so crazy, he’s actually gone a few times, really likes it too if it’s a good day

This, of course, makes you SUPER happy and you’re instantly dragging him to every spot South Park has

When he was with the goth kids, he remembered them talking about it, tried it for himself and was slightly obsessed for a bit

Indifferent about most of it, just likes going for the old band shirts or something with a funny graphic on it

Maybe a jacket or two as well

ACTUALLY he goes insane if there’s a cool looking varsity jacket or some jerseys yet to be worn

Although,,,,,,he has the worst luck with everything he cannot find anything good or something he likes,,,,

It’s either got shit stains or beer stains or god forbid SHARPIE or PAINT like WHY are these here

You gotta step in and hand him some of your luck, he wants his punk rock t-shirts or whatever 🙄 (he’s eternally grateful)

Thinks you look super cute in anything you’ve found, but gets slightly impatient if you’re taking too long in a dressing room or looking In the same section for too long

If there’s a certain band shirt you’re both looking for? He’s going to the ends of the earth (Just in South Park) to find it for you

Naturally, you’ll both have a blast just talking about where things have come from or chuckling over something funny looking

You’ll dress each other up in jackets too big for each other, it’s sweet and innocent 😭😭✊

Shelley caught wind of you two going thrifting every so often, she’ll kick out Stan and just wanna go with you 💀💀

Spoiler alert Shelley has TOO much fun with you and it becomes a thing (much to Stan’s dismay)

You’ll MOST LIKELY find stupid shit with her and constantly “hahaha Stan would look fucking STUPID in this”

“I know right!!”

Randy saw you wearing something you had found with Stan, thought it was Sharon’s for a while and was super confused 🤨🤨🤨

Overall, super fun chill time with the Marsh boy you love him, go get Ice cream with him after a haul ✊✊

🦝 - Eric Cartman -

“What the fuck are you wearing”

“It’s a cardigan I found doesn’t it look good!”

“Found where 💀💀💀”

ALSO DIDNT understand it and probably heard “shoplifting” instead of the former

You have to FORCE him to join you tbh and he suggested robbing Stan’s mom would get the job done faster, whatever

Pretends to be SUUUUPER bored and uninterested, like ugh he’s shopping? Says it’s totally gay

(SECRETLY LOVES SEEING YOU HAPPY 🥶)

Probably wouldn’t look around, just tag along while pretending to hate the entire experience (you know he doesn’t, you see his eyes go towards cool looking things in the shops)

Gets pretty impatient if he’s somewhere for too long, unless you REALLY beg him and find something that “meets his standards”

HATED thrifting until you found him a shirt without sleeves, looked corny as hell, had some bootleg graphic and inspirational quote and shit

Eric FELL IN LOVE WITH IT 😭😭 it showed off his muscles of course

You just HAD to get it for him, doesn’t stop wearing it, claims he found it until you give him the side eye

“We found it together 😍🙏”

“🤨”

You won’t go as often with him, but when you do (and when he’s not bitching about how boring it is), it’s actually a really fun time and he’ll make you crack tf up with snarky comments about things

He’s rude-funny and you are in love with it, especially when it’s towards something you like, you KNOW he doesn’t mean that bs towards you

Liane just HAD to mention that thrifting gets quite a lot of business in South Park, his con-man instincts went wild

Eric just wanted to start a business with you!! Resell items and clothes as if they were worth it! (They are not) fake stories galore!

Stop him before it’s too late please

DAMN WRITING FOR THEM HIS DIFFICULT, HOPE ITS IN CHARACTER, FIRST POST YALL 💀🙏

Hello!!! Omg I've recently been obsessing over your posts 😅 I love your writing style!

If you're not too busy, could you do a thing that's like skz's reactions to finding out you're ticklish?

It's totally fine if you don't want to, take care!! 💕

yes ofccccc!! i'm so glad you like my writing!

formal apologies to all my not ticklish stays- just pretend for this one :) <33

two posts in two days? who am i? guess i’m on a writing kick lol- unfortunately i do not think this will continue (but also i don’t want it to be another month before i post again so i’m gonna do my best)

anyway- hope y’all enjoy!! this was super fun to write! still experimenting w formatting too so stay tuned 😵‍💫

~~~

Bang Chan:

channie definitely figured it out quick

literally he is always touching you

we've been over this

of course he is a gentleman

his love language may be physical touch, but he had to make sure you're okay w that first!

waits until you begin to initiate affection more often before he gets clingy

but then he's kind of all over you :)

you invited him over to your place one night, and even though he had just been working for hours, he was just too excited to see you

he was super tired though, so you took it upon yourself to set up a cute movie date so the two of you could just chill out and cuddle

at first, channie was just happily cuddled up against your side, an arm lazily slug around you waist while you petted his hair

it was cute and sleepy and perfect

until he just had to go and mess it up

chan's musicality seemed to get the best of him as he began to drum the rhythm to one of their tracks out on your waist

your very ticklish waist

there was a noble and valiant effort to stop yourself from freaking out, but alas

you let out a squeal and suddenly chan perked up, his exhaustion completely gone

safe to say you got pinned to the couch and tickled within an inch of your life

praying for you babe, he is a true monster

Lee Know:

minho wasn't really on the hunt for your tickle spots tbh

honestly, it's not something he thinks about a lot

unless it's happening right in front of him or he's feeling mischievous and he can take it out on someone in his direct vicinity (ex. our maknae on top)

his interest has to be piqued first

that's why when he figured out that you're ticklish, it was literally in the most cliche way possible

that's right- you got stuck in your shirt

it was a cute top that was way too expensive, but you had splurged a bit because you wanted something nice to wear on night outs

unfortunately, it was also incredibly tight and hard to get on and off

especially for your tipsy post-date brain... you were struggling

that's how minho found you, with your top half off, arms trapped in the fabric pulled over your head

he scoffed at you, shaking his head and tutting that you should've asked for help

just like him to be condescending at a time like this smh

but he does help you, grasping at your fabric cage and yanking upwards

and it was so helpful, except for the fact that he just barely brushed your underarms

which made you squeal and pull away from him

which made him curious

minho helped you out of the top completely before he decided to explore what made you squeal like that

after that, though, he tackled you onto the bed and found every single tickle spot you had before he even thought about letting you go

and he's a meanie too... idk if you'll survive :)

Changbin:

changbin has definitely tried to tickle you before

he just never found the spot

yk how sometimes you'll see vids of idols "tickling" their member's forearms or like shoulder?

he did shit like that, fully expecting you to laugh

safe to say you did not

so he had mostly given up, content with the fact that you aren't ticklish

however

he did start to take you on gym dates

and on one of these gym dates he discovered just how wrong he was

you decided to try to do an unassisted chin up, which you had been building up to by using resistance bands each time you tried

changbin was standing close by for moral support (and also to catch you just in case)

you made sure to remember the proper technique and pulled yourself all the way up, chin just meeting the bar

changbin cheered when you dropped down, grasping your waist and kissing your cheek proudly

you felt so victorious! but when changbin's hand just brushed against the skin of your stomach from beneath your shirt, you froze and let out a squeak of surprise

despite my earlier comments, changbin is no dummy

you can be sure that later that night he decided to see just how sensitive you really were

you'll never have a moment of peace with him now ;))))

Hyunjin:

hyunjin is a poker

for some reason, those long fingers of his are just drawn to exposed skin

changbin is a frequent target, but tbh all of the members have fallen victim to his shenanigans at some point

and ofc, there's no special treatment, even if you're dating him

you will be poked, and it will tickle

your first mistake was wearing a new shirt that had those slits going diagonally down the front of the top

you hadn't even thought anything of it when you put it on that morning

i mean, it's a shirt and you were under the assumption that your boyfriend wasn't a weirdo

(you were wrong)

that night, hyunjin decided to help you make some dinner

and by "help" i mean he stood behind you with his hands around your waist and his chin on your shoulder while you cooked, talking your ear off about whatever came to his mind

he's annoying

anyway, eventually he got bored

you were too focused on the food! how could you ignore him?!

as he stewed in his boredom, his fingers found their way to the slits in the front of your shirt and brushed up against your warm skin

and then, he delivered one firm poke

right to your bellybutton

immediately, you let out a strained giggle and tried to move away from him, but unfortunately he had you trapped between the kitchen counter and his body

before you could even devise another plan of escape, his hands slipped beneath your shirt and began to wreck your tummy, shirt slits be damned

you nearly died that night, and it was certainly not the last time something like that happened~

Han:

jisung was shy

really he was, especially at the beginning of your relationship

it took him a while to even work up the nerve to kiss you after you began dating, and even then he was kind of drunk

but somewhere around the 3 month mark, a switch flipped

he began to touch you more and he was more playful

introverts are funny like that

it stands to reason that he discovered how ticklish you were not long after

i mean, how were you supposed to respond when he asked to give you a foot massage? say no?

you tried that, but he pouted and you caved

you sort of accepted the fact that he'd find out, especially when you got out of the shower to find him on your bed with lotion and foot masks

and he looked so fcking cute too, curse you jisung >:(

safe to say he knew something was up as soon as you sat down to offer him a foot to massage

you were bright red, stuttering, and even sweating a lil bit

and when he started teasing?! telling you how cute you looked?!!?

oh no, you were done for

he couldn't even start massaging, you collapsed in giggles as soon as his fingers grazed the bottoms of your feet with lotion

your silly boyfriend started laughing at you, and the next thing you knew, your feet were headlocked beneath his arm and he was going to town on them

you screamed and thrashed, and eventually pulled a foot away and gave him a good kick

bad idea, because now he's gonna get revenge by finding out what other spots make you scream <3

Felix:

felix was totally curious

like you knew he was ticklish (you reminded him of that fact frequently), so shouldn't he know if you were too?

he thought he should

his investigation began one evening when he came over for a sleepover

you, ofc, were expecting nothing but cuddles and romantic cutesy stuff

after your last week of midterms at university, it felt more necessary than ever

felix, on the other hand, was nothing if not conniving

it wasn't his fault that you just looked so cute in your pjs

perfect to test his theories on as well

you had dragged him to the bathroom so you could do skincare together, and then made him sit through a face mask, and then you two finally went to bed

but felix still had to wait for the perfect moment

and he wasn't gonna stop you when your lips found their way to his, small kisses blossoming into a lazy make-out session

emphasis on "lazy" because honestly you could hardly keep your eyes open by the time he pulled away

he giggled and brushed your hair from your eyes, thumb tracing your kiss-swollen lips as he whispered about how pretty you were

you flushed, scolding him about being a tease before you reached to turn off your bedside table lamp

felix suddenly remembered his mission

and his time had arrived

you just barely clicked the light off before felix stuck his fingers right into your armpit, massaging deep circles into your flesh

you positively squealed, unable to stop yourself from falling into witch-like cackles

felix's investigation was a success, and you can bet he'd use these findings again and again

Seungmin:

seungmin tickles you to get what he wants

or at least, he does after he finds out about your weakness

and it doesn't take long really

technically, the two of you weren't even official yet when he makes the discovery

the night before, one thing kind of led to another during an after-party, and the next thing you knew, you woke up in the same bed

wearing very little

anywayyyy

seungmin was the first to wake up in the morning with a raging headache

no lie, he felt like he had been run over by 20 tour buses

somehow, when he saw you, cuddled into his chest snoozing peacefully, he felt less gross

it was probably because he was in love with you, but he wasn't really ready to admit that to himself yet

and he did really have to pee, and he could not do that with you koalabeared onto him

no time to think about emotions or anything

at first, he tried to shake you awake, which proved to be futile

next, he tried prying your arms off from around his waist, but your grip was like iron

finallly, he tried poking and prodding you because he didn't have any other ideas

almost immediately you began to squirm away, trying to fight off the tickles in your sleepy state

eventually (partly because you were too cute gently giggling and partly because now he really needed to pee) he finally dug into your sides and really gave you a good wake up call

you woke up laughing loudly from the tickles, and when your vision cleared, you saw a blushing seungmin making his way to the bathroom

I.N:

Jeongin tickles you when you annoy him

which you do a lot

it's like you were built to push all of his buttons istg

the first time he ever found out you were ticklish, you were making fun of him

it was a personal favorite pastime of yours

(definitely not because you thought jeongin was hot when he was frustrated, no ofc not)

today had just not been a good day for him in the slightest

his voice was a bit hoarse so he couldn’t record, he kept missing steps in their dance practice, and to top it all off he was breaking out from the stress of a new comeback

so really, why were you adding gas to that fire?

usually you only bugged him because you wanted to get his mind off of whatever was bothering him

your teasing was light hearted, and you never had bad intentions

but when you wouldn’t stop asking for kisses, started whining at him after he said he didn’t wanna give you kisses, and then sat yourself right on top of him and refused to move… that’s when he got fed up

and yet you kept it up

jeongin decided he needed to do something drastic

and of course he’d never hurt you and he wasn’t truly mad, but he did need to teach you a lesson

so… he set his hands on your hips, looking up at you from where you were seated on his lap, facing him

and he asked if you would move

when you said “no” once again, he squeezed your hips like his life depended on it

you shrieked and fell to the side, trying to squirm away from his evil hands as they tickled you mercilessly

as jeongin pinned you down and made you laugh until you couldn’t breathe, you couldn’t help but think about how you deserved this

whatever, it was fun so you just decided to be even more annoying in the future :)

Just what in the fack did I watch... I'm gonna go watch it again just for funsies and to cry again (Rambles/Thoughts)

This post will mostly contain random rambles and thoughts I had while watching and rewatching the episode. And a lot of this is just going to be me ranting about scenes (the rants will most likely make you wanna go "Ginkgo, that's common sense we can see it smh." XD Just roll with it. Oh and NUzi scenes

Spoilers, duh and lots of words. Oh and gore warning? Kinda?

I mean... that scary *ss mother facking thing towards the end- you know what I'm talking about if you watched the ep 😅

First thing I found interesting, is how the Solver behaves in this scene. It's mere shadows, not even fully manifested. Further proves that the Solver transcends simple time and space, and is on a different plane of existence- a 4th dimension if you will.

The humans did, in fact, learn how to control the Solver. The pentagram like projections act as gravity enforcers and lights that subdue the solver for a period of time. Buuuut it seems that it's not full proof. It seems that this occurance is fairly common, seeing as the workers nearby were not very concerned that an eldrich being was about to break loose.

Alright another slow moment here. But I had to google wtf "MacGuffin" meant (English isn't my first language, so take it easy on me ;w;). And taking this straight from the google search "an object or device in a movie or a book that serves merely as a trigger for the plot." So most likely, the Absolute Solver is referring to the fact that Mitchell the intern set things in motion simply because he was mistaken for the real Dr. Chambers... Classic- CLASSIC human mistake XD

So... Heart/Nori. Something interesting is going on with her. I believe Nori WAS injured by the DDs and had to be finished off by Khan. I'll touch on Khan a bit later. But, just as seen with Eldrich J... I'm not sure why I've never thought of this before! It makes sense for Nori's corrupted core: Heart, to still function properly. Meaning, she could have snuck away when she was killed and returned to the cathedral to search for the crucifix. Uzi gets most of her style from Nori 🥹. Seems like Uzi got her mom's style and Khan's engineering abilities.

I had it all wrong- and I am ALL FOR IT! N wasn't afraid of something he saw ahead. He was upset with what they left BEHIND! V! And THIS ENTIRE SCENE

You cannot believe how surprised I was. This scene was so much better than I could have imagined it. Yes, it was painful to watch, but sweet robo-god this was executed SO DAM WELL TwT It was delicious angst. And Tessa was not in fact drawing her sword on Uzi, but instead protecting her... kinda... with an ulterior motive of course.

The gut wrenching betrayal right there. The animation team did a wonderful job at animating the betrayal and how it manifested in Uzi. Disbelief and then anger.

Not to mention her stumble. I hyper fixated on that stumble a bit too much on my first 2 watches. (Yes, I've rewatched the episode 8 times now, hush I love it XD). Her stumble shows weakness. And in that moment, she wishes to be anything BUT weak. The suspicion of betrayal is settling in, and she needs to be able to fight back. But her body is giving out. The events are taking a toll on her. And makes me appreciate the animation detail that much more.

This scene N is definitely angry. He's trying his best to keep it together and Tessa's pressure to injure and kill Uzi is not helping. So for him to be talking to Uzi, while glaring at Tessa is just him driving the point home. He is NOT going to hurt Uzi, no matter what they might find down in the labs.

But a poor choice of words that was. It gives Uzi a glimpse of what was actually happening and what has been bothering N. The trust vaporizes, and with it, any attempts with communication.

And what I believe, gives a nod back to ep2. As N steps in to try to help Uzi up, she retreats. Same happens in this episode. And the kicker? "Falling... for you" song starts lightly playing in the background.

This is far too comical after he says he deserves to have his limbs cut off. The whiplash I got from that is ridiculous... in a sad and funny way.

What an amazing shot. But it does paint a picture of what the DDs have done. Perhaps the blood also acted as cooling agents, and this is why the trend continued with robots- except this time around as oil. And this is what the Administration CYN most likely blocked out. Not only the manor time, but also the bloodbath that followed as Earth collapsed.

THE DOG MADE IT IN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's interesting on how the solver manifests in the drones. It seems that Uzi's wings and tail, do not make the solver go insane, and she can continue to use it. However, later in the episode the same wings and tail go berserk. So it seems that once the transformation has set in- like with Uzi- it becomes part of the drone rather something that is manifested by the Absolute Solver's control.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE XD Part 2A that Khan refers to is on the bottom left corner, the green core that Uzi got a hold of back in pilot episode- also titled as "I think this is a robot liver or something lol."

Plan B: Uzi could have had a normal gun if railgun didn't work. Bottom right corner

Top left corner under Uzi's railgun title: "30 min recharge time. That'll be fine." Famous last words ever XD

Top right corner: "Other things it can do: Not judge me, force prom dance, I can say I had friends but fricken murdered them with sci fi weaponry."

I love how sassy he is here XD His character development and arc is something that I will never forget. He has definitely come a great ways. Khan also seems adamant about his wife being completely dead. Which proves that he didn't know a single thing about the Absolute Solver and what it can do. He could only reference Nori's insane drawings and deduce that the planet was going to eat them all soon.

Idk if this is just my tired brain, but this comment felt like a joke to me. (Remember, I don't know anything about computers and the language ;w;) But the physical patch to save herself... as in, the same patches that are sent out for games/programs to fix bugs? That's the joke I got out of that one 😅

This entire sequence was something out of my nightmares XD The heel tapping that KEPT GETTING QUICKER definitely had me reeling back from the screen XD

The Nori and Yeva scene was so wholesome 🥹. I loved the way the animators showed their interaction. Despite the hellish events, they were still close.

My only issue with this image is, on what is Doll moving? Not like the floor. The core is gone from her body, what the heck is still driving her forward? Perhaps just on the sheer will to warn Uzi to "fight back." And I suppose I can see how she could still move without her main core. Almost acting like chickens do, when you cut their heads off. One was able to live for 18 months after the head was cut. So I suppose I can get behind the idea that Doll's final wish was to warn Uzi, at the very least, and thus forced the body to move until it did so.

But then, Tessa shows up. Which makes me wonder if she was the one that simply lead Doll's body to come to Uzi. How? Uhhh... Absolute Solver! Let's just go with that sweat face. The con in that theory is a simple: why? Why bother leading Doll to Uzi? To spook her? To give a false reason to attack Uzi? Given that N was still very much behind them all, I don't see why the Absolute Solver would try to make up some odd reason to attack Uzi. It could just simply... go ahead. There was no one there to fool, and could incapacitate Uzi easily. Buuuut I could also be looking too deep into this, as per usual.

Hey guess what.

I found the answer. XD Just as I'm typing this up, a frame popped up.

Yup, the core was still inside and thus running Doll and thus Doll could move, ok carry on. XD

Emotions spike the Absolute Solver, something that I love seeing and appears to be less headcanon and more canon at this point for me. Through the entire episode, the Solver keeps glitching out and forcing Uzi to lose control because in this situation, she's very stressed. A betrayal, a misunderstanding, learning about the past, everything becomes too much. This makes keeping the solver at bay that much harder.

He did NOT give her any chance. Yes or no, Tessa. That suddenness surprised me- in a good way. This shows how much N has grown. He's willing to stand up for his beliefs that much better. If he suspects something, he now acts on it, and does not wait for the other side to perhaps change his mind.

This scene. This scene shall live in my head rent free for a long while... Actually, the entire episode is gonna live rent free for a while. XD Not to mention the "Falling... for you" song plays in the background yet again. Ugh, pulling on heart strings there ;w;

They had us all fooled XD The hand lights were on just to trick us, and in fact were meant to be off this entire time! Oh you sneaky sneaky people. >w<

ALL OF THESE SCENES, they're all so cruel but SO GOOD TwT So cruel in context of how tortured N must be to fight Uzi, but so good in context that this fight sequence and animation is executed SO WELL. All of Nori's slaps were so personal XD Mama Nori educating NUzi

When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but think of ep3 and their dance. This entire episode is so bittersweet ;w;

She's still there TwT And she sees this entire fight. Of what she has become and done to N and omg I'm crying again. Moving on.

OMG YOU SILLY GOOBER BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH XD I love Nori/Heart's reaction, but the Absolute Solver also gets me laughing a bit too hard. "WHAT." That's so simple yet so effective. "What. Why. You are a DD I sent to kill the hosts, why are you hanging out."

The entire scene with NUzi screaming. Just. YES. What better way of gettin rid of stress than screaming! ^_^

Oh you sneaky, sneaky people. Well, all I can say, you got me. You got me good. This is something I didn't think of, but should have. It's simple to get these shots with certain rigs missing. And it was done seamlessly. Well done, well done. I begrudgingly applaud you. XD

HE'S PATTING HER HEAD AAAAHHHHH *proceeds to ascend to another realm*

They did not... omg they did XD Ah, yes, welcome a new horror oh and by the way here- :3 a cute face

Omg they look so cool- KHAN WTF XD

LOL J THE PRIOR HAZARD WARNING AHAHAHAHAHA

The way she shook his hand trying to snap him back to himself and wake up 😭. And the entire sequence following this... I'm just now slowly starting to process it, oh and great I'm sobbing again. Alright, moving on.

Well, I have some thoughts in this. This is personal thoughts, thus this is where you are more than free to yeet this section into the void that Uzi was dragged into... sorry that was a bad joke- anyways. "Die mad." I feel like this is her way of telling N to not give up. To go out there and FIGHT. But if he can't win, then to die like she is. To die in a way that he will be proud of and to go batsh*t crazy. Because by now, Uzi must know that all of their chances of survival are slim. So you might as well go out with a bang and "die mad."

Something I noticed and was further solidified when @bloodywolfwings also mentioned it. Uzi looks at peace here and very accepting of death. And I say, yes, she very much is. I think this was a way of her asking N for forgiveness. For getting mad at him in the beginning of the episode, for failing to be useful/protecting N, and for fighting against him- despite being possessed. And perhaps even, as an incredibly insane and radical thought, for loving him. This entire episode has put the characters and us through the wringer, and that "sacrifice" was just the cherry on top.

Something I have seen already mentioned once at very least (by @/rebecca-babe) and something that also put me on edge was the ending credits... or the lack of. Of course, all the credits roll, but it's not the usual type. Instead of an upbeat music that is either "Uzi the drone killer" or a theme that was seen in the episode... its SILENCE. Being a musician myself, I love how much love has been put into Murder Drones. The sound effects and the main music are always top-notch. But that ending unsettled me the most. The lack of all noise is something that is terrifying and unsettling in that ending. Almost like all the music and sound left with the "sacrifice" of the main character, Uzi. The entire episode was filled with sounds, silence only being present when something incredibly WRONG was happening - like at the beginning when intern Mitchell re-entered the cathedral. And as much as I love how well executed this entire scene was, I hated it. Because that scene does the job that it was set out to do. Put you on edge, and make you feel like all hope is lost. That this is it. This is the end.

This is the end of my rambles and thoughts that I had while watching ep7. I may have more later on as I keep rewatching this episode for the rest of the week ;w;

Want to hear more of my stupid rambles? This has 3 other parts!

Timmy forgor arc because I'm a fucked up little shit and I want my fave to suffer because that's how I am smh

Timmy canonically puts notes on everything that's important to him because he might throw everything related to Cosmo and Wanda so it shouldn't be any different that he'll put notes on everything related to the rest of the Nicktoons

But what if he also writes everything that happened in a diary and kept it hidden in a box filled with things related to his Godfamily and the Nicktoons?

Timmy already turned 18 and the next day after his birthday, the first thing he saw when he woke up is an empty fish tank still filled with water. Timmy got super confused because why is there a fish tank here? Why does it have water when there's literally no fish inside? Then he saw the sticky note and went oh ok I guest I shouldn't throw it out then.

Throughout the day, he keeps seeing sticky notes with his hand writing on it saying "Don't throw it out me! -Timmy Turner". Timmy doesn't know the purpose of all the things because he only does this when it's actually important so he doesn't understand why there's a sticky note with the same message pinned on his old hat.

When he, Chester, and AJ hangout, they'd sometimes ask him about the things he forgotten and Timmy is just confused. His reaction are just "What?" "Since when did that happen?" "Talking to objects? Did you hit your head or something cause wtf" Chester and AJ had to suffer but didn't dive too deep into it.

That until Chester mentioned Jimmy

Timmy isn't the type to forget people that he's close and actually liked him. So when Timmy said he doesn't know who Jimmy is it caused a havoc. Chester made cards filled with things related to their childhood while AJ interogated the poor brunet's head off just to get answers so he could somehow cure his bestfriend's amnesia.

This went for Gods' know how long it just keeps going.

But hey the Nicktoons fianlly visited hoorayyyy

They didn't encounter Timmy first though, they encountered Chester and AJ. They both felt like their dreaming but soon dragged them into their shared appartment with Timmy because wtf their bestfriend's bestfriends who doesn't even know they're his bestfriends from different universes are here and oh are they glad.

Before the Nicktoons could even say something, AJ and Chester already bombered them with concerns relating to Timmy while the three are all just there sitting on a small couch and saying literally the same things as if they were one person.

Where's Timmy? What happened to his Fairy programs? What do you mean he has amnesia? He doesn't remember us? What the fuck does this mean? Is this related to the Fairy World's rules?

They were all distraught. Spongebob who's no longer in disguise is sobbing. Danny is in denial. He sees him as his kid brother and said kid brother sees him as his big brother there's no way he could've forgotten him right? He denise it, there's no way.

And Jimmy is fucking depressed. After a long time of trying to find a way to go to Timmy's universe, the first thing that was said to him was that Timmy forgot about them.

Jimmy was mad. He wasn't mad at Timmy for getting his memories erased, he was mad that he didn't do anything to prevent it. He was mad at himself. But he knew damn well that there's no way of stopping Da Rules and the rest of the Laws of the Fairy World.

Meanwhile with Timmy, he sneezed as he's currently going back to his old house to get the rest of his old stuff. Then he went to the attic and saw some weird big old box with his name written on it. The box was filled with notebooks, diaries and pictures.

Timmy was utterly bamboozled

He skimmed through some of the pages. Fairies? Ghost brother figure? A talking sponge? And he's hooked? Timmy doesn't even know anymore. Then he took the photos inside the box.

What the fuck.

Why is there a sponge? It's alive? Why is there a floating guy behind him? Who's he brunet with a weird hair style?

And why do these strangers feel so familiar?

The more he dives deep into it, the more his head hurts. Timmy decided to brush it off temporarily and took the box with him. He'll get his stuff next time.

ANYWAY the rest is up to you guys on how you want it to end I'm out of energy to write the rest ksksakjssfhasksf

#so I had another thought :)))))#mich talks/speaks #nicktoons unite #fop #fairly oddparents #danny phantom #spongebob squarepants #jimmy neutron #timmy turner #danny fenton #chester mcbadbat #anthony james jr.#mich fics

Lookism Chapter 438 Memes/Thoughts I Have:

(SPOILERS !!! I don’t own any of the Lookism panels and the translations. Only the memes that I made.)

God. It’s like every week, I get even more tired than the previous week. What has my life come to? I feel so dead inside.

Anyways, wooooo new chapter is here. Let’s goooooooo!!!

“DiD yOu JuSt HiT a CoP ?” Yeah mf. Call it “injustice” or a “crime”, IDC. Daniel gon beat yo ass GTA style. 😤

It’s ok Daniel, go get him!!!

*h e a v y s i g h*

. . .

PLEASE. EXCUSE ME FOR A SECOND WHILE I… “TAKE CARE OF SOME BUSINESS”.

*stays in the bathroom for about 30 min*

I'M KIDDING... not really.

BRUH EVEN DANIEL IS NAKED? AROUND GUN??? This is dangerous. 😭😭😭

OHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GAAAAAAAHHHHHDDDD.... SIRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! THE WET HAIR THOOOOOO. 😩😩🤤🤤🤤🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

I def know what I want for Christmas this year... 👀

Santa would definitely kill me in my sleep...

N S F W M E M E W A R N I N G !!!

(If you don't wanna see the inappropriate meme, just scroll past it.)

God, my 😺 been quivering... What? I bet those of you who read Rendezvous would agree that you want him too. I'M LOOKING AT YOU!! READERS WHO'VE READ THOSE CHAPTERS ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT, SMH. 👁👁 Don't lie.

Man, this is giving me mad inspiration to write again. Who knew that some steamy shower panels would bring me back to continue writing for that story? How ironic. 😅

YESSSSSS GUN BBG, MAN WHORE, DADDYYYYYYY. 🥰

DAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN DANIEL, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE FANCY FIGHTING SPINS!!! Also, "I'm gonna get punished severely when I get back." 🧐 Is Gun gonna make you give him 🧠 or nah? Like what?

BRUHHHHHHHHHH. DANIEL NOOOOOOOOOO!!! 😭😭😭

AWWWW BABY, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT IT. JUST CONTINUE TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!! 🥺🥺

Awwwww shit... Is this where I think this is going...? 😭

Hey Alexa, play "Lose Yourself" by Eminem.

OMG WAIT. HE DOESN'T LOOK THAT DIFFERENT FROM WHEN HE WENT CRAZY MODE IN HIS OTHER BODY!!! :O God, it's like the same demon possessed Daniel or something.

OK DANIELLLLL!!! I SEE YOUUUUUU, KING!!!! 😩😩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

AYO, IS THAT JAKE'S OLDER BROTHER??? 👀 HOW TF JAMES LEE KNEW ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS OWN BROTHER, JAKE KIM KNEW ABOUT HIM UNTIL TOM LEE MENTIONED HIM??? 💀💀💀💀

Geez, I'm starting to feel bad for Jichang. Like, ok Daniel, I get it. Your fight with Jichang started because you're trying to find out more about Jinyoung and all that, but... y'all can't just... talk it out? 😅 "Civilized folks" style? No? Ok.

Oh crap... that's not good. 😬

B R U H. THESE PANELS GAVE ME MAD GOOSEBUMPS. SHIIIIIT. I HOPE DANIEL'S HOMIES ARRIVE!!!! 😖

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I KNEW ITTTTTTT!!! I TOLD Y'ALL WTF. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I EVEN KNEW IT IN THE LAST REVIEW HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I GOT PSYCHIC POWERS. 🔮

SEE???? I CONCLUDED THIS LAST WEEK WITH MY OWN WORDS, BRUH. CALL ME A... G E N I U S. ✨ (Actually don't. I'm still a dumbass.)

"Thanks. I almost died just now." 💀💀💀💀 Idk why I thought that line from Hudson was funny to me LMFAOOO. Just caught me off guard because I mostly see him being so serious all the time. Also, Jichang... don't underestimate Daniel lol. It'll be your downfall if you do.

I stg. Almost every chapter, Daniel always gets even more attractive. 😍😍

I always see people comment on how Daniel is turning more into Gun due to how he has improved in fighting as the story progresses. HOWEVER, I've never heard Daniel becoming James Lee before and I find that concept very interesting. I'm not sure if PTJ is leading Daniel towards that path of him becoming the new "James Lee", since he is a self-righteous character who seeks truth.

Even though I find this moment to be very cool, I worry that Daniel might create more enemies for himself and I hope he doesn't kill anyone then spiral into long-term guilt like James Lee.

God, I still can't get over the GUN SHOWER PANELS. AHHHHHHHHH!!! HIM... NAKED??? I MEAN, COME ON MAN. HE LITERALLY IS EXPENSIVE ALCOHOL WHO REALLY AGED SO GOOD. SO TASTY. SO DELICIOUS. SO SCRUMPT-DIDDLY-UMPTIOUUUSSSSS!!! CALL ME A CONNOISSEUR, BUT HE CAN BE THE YAMATO TO MY HENNESSY, WITH HIS HIGH PRICED SEXY ASS. 🤤🤤🖤🖤🖤🖤

If any one mentions him in the shower, yk Imma be "showering" down there. 💦

ALSO, WE NEED MORE SHOWER FAN SERVICE PTJ. KEEP 'EM COMING!!!

The correct answer is "Both".

They'd be amazing Calvin Klein models.

Anyways, BYE- 🏃🏽‍♀️

Which of the creeps (that you write romantically for) be okay/like a bada$$ s/o? Like every1 is intimidated and every1 thinks that if you try to fight them you’re stupid? Have a great day!!

Creeps with a badass reader!

i actually really like this idea!! also im so so sorry it took me so long to get to this </3!! ive kinda been focusing on art these past few days, and when i havent been drawing ive kinda been. laying in my own. feelings. sleepy.... yk how it is!!

with that said! yeah! i wont be doing all the bare bones list of characters i usually do with non specified characters! to keep true with the prompt im going to stick with characters i feel would like this kind of S/O and/or compliment the readers fierce nature... also going to aim for a more comedic style

LIST OF CHARACTERS: Laughing Jack, Eyeless Jack, Hoodie, Splendorman

CW; mentions of violence

Splendorman;

No because just think about it; a soft easy going cryptid with a strong and ready to fight partner

"he asked for no pickles" dynamic basically imo LMAO

he would rather you tone it down, or at least dont fight for him... he doesnt want you to get hurt, or in trouble..! mostly trouble, he knows you can handle yourself

he wont ever say it but hes internally swooning anytime you fight for him, though. like. "oh? they would do this for me just because someone said something vaguely mean about me?"... hes red in the face

tries to introduce you to new people to make potential friends since he kinda thinks part of your bloodlust(/j) is from loneliness, which in turn makes people see you as.. mean... so its a loop. he doesnt mean it in a bad way! he just cares about your well being!

overall he secretly thinks its hot but hed rather you stay out of trouble and hed try to find ways to make you less fierce...

Laughing Jack;

like splendorman he thinks its hot but he WILL vocalize it

also he thinks its really funny whenever people try to antagonize you

pulls a bag of popcorn out of thin air and watches the show/hj

he will literally cheer for you from the sidelines and becomes the fights personal announcer

absolutely treats you when you win; showered in praise and love and gifts

hes flustered; depending on what color you think he blushes (personally i think he blushes a purpleish-grey), his entire face is that color when he watches it happen

again, hes really into it

smh ive been on a lj trip these past few days and i hardly got anything for him here god mfing damn!!!!

Hoodie;

ngl he probably throws himself into the fight and yall both kick the shit out of the person

basically think something like this scene (ive never seen jjba my friend showed me this) where he just joins you after watching for a few seconds (we can say the third person is masky/j)

anyways it wont let me move the gif up so pretend the gif is under the above bullet point instead of at the end of this segment

really yall are kinda the same but hoodie is more likely to sit back and access the situation before jumping in and fighting someone unless like. its an immediate life or death thing

now how does he feel about you being a proclaimed badass?

he respects it, and he knows that you can defend yourself when hes not around so it also puts him at ease

maybe you two will spar every now and then to get better at defense and offense stuff (he will not go easy on you btw, bro will give it his all)

Eyeless Jack;

he doesnt really like the fighting since hes also likely the one who has to patch you up afterwards. like even if you win the fight youre still going to be hurt in some way, this applies to all the other characters too. ej is just the only one who has the knowledge when it comes to tending wounds...

with ej, in my au, he doesnt really. like conflict, especially since his own body is changing into something that isnt human; he already has enough on his plate already, doesnt need to go bury an extra body because he let his temper get the better of him

and every now and then, that mindset of avoiding conflict bleeds to how he views you and your attitude

hes happy that you can defend yourself, like hoodie he admires it; but at the same time he gets so scared that youre going to pick a fight with the wrong person or get hit in the wrong spot, and..

he does not pity those who are dumb enough to rile you up, though..

overall he worries for you and already has enough on his plate with himself ... but dont think that he sees tending to you as a burden! hell do it regardless of what caused your injury

possible idea for an angst post? ooo? maybe, if you guys want it

#creepypasta headcanon #splendorman x reader #laughing jack x reader #hoodie x reader #eyeless jack x reader #splendorman x you #laughing jack x you #hoodie x you #eyeless jack x you

The Arcana Headcanons: The Favorite Animated Movie!

Asra - Spirited Away

- This one was a hard one to think on, mostly because there were a LOT of movies that could really fit as his favorite

- However, I feel like he'd really indulge in a similar taste to Portia, creative fantasy movies where you travel to whole new worlds

- Haku? An icon he ASPIRES to be. He wants to be an Eastern dragon too smh

- Inspired him to actually learn more about magic despite his already vast knowledge. Even found a few new lessons to be learned!

- Asra 🤝 Julian: Dragon movies (see below)

Julian - How To Train Your Dragon

- He was a dragon kid, and always will be!!

- He always wanted to ride Toothless. Always. Still hopes he's real

- The fact that they ALSO have ships and sea adventures? Icing on the amazing cake

- Was BAWLING at the third movie so so hard

- Wants to watch it every other week with you

Muriel - Tarzan

- You thought I'd put Brother Bear? Nah, Tarzan gets this one

- He can honestly relate to the main guy- Muriel has been through losing his home and family and had to learn to live through that

- The first half with Tarzan's gorilla mom strikes his heart, but he'll try not to cry

- At first he was confused as to why Tarzan would leave his home for humanity just to be relieved that he came back

- Does he want a Jane in his life? Not really, she wasn't the best part to him.

Nadia - Mulan

- Badass woman saves China? Sounds like her kind of movie

- Sees herself as the main character LIKE SHE SHOULD and wants to be Mulan LIKE SHE IS!!

- Loves especially the scene where Mulan sets off the avalanche and kills most of the army (though you're worried when she writes down notes)

- Hums "A Girl Worth Fighting For" while fixing your hair and brushing it

- Unlike Lucio, her singing of the songs is actually worth looking on in adoration towards her

Portia - The Cat Returns

- OKAY HEAR ME OUT IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE CATS

- Haru is actually so headstrong?? Portia would relate so so hard

- She badly wants to see Pepe in the movie's art style

- okay maybe it's because of the cats

- You can't tell me she isn't a sucker for whimsical animations

Lucio - The Lion King

- Putting aside my personal opinions of this man, I feel like he would really enjoy this movie

- He knows Be Prepared by heart and belts it out for everyone to hear

- Despite this, his favorite character is probably Mufasa. He's a sucker for big ol masculine looking characters

- Hyenas? Loves them. He doesn't find them disgusting like the movie wants you to believe. Points to the movie and says to his dogs, "Hey, it's you two!"

- Cries unabashedly when Mufasa dies (spoilers whoops)

fanfic writer questions

Thanks for the tag, @foibles-fables

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

i'm at 122 right now (wahoo!)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

794,634 (i am on a mission to 1 million in the next couple of years)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

well i've been around many a fandom block, but i'd say for current brainrot:

supergirl (mostly supercorp, but i have a smattering of rare pairs because women, amirite?)

swan queen

bumbleby (i also still have so many rosebird dreams i'll get there someday)

makayuro (with a smattering of rare pairs also because women, amirite?)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

well unsurprisingly, ever since plopping down on supercorp fandom, the numbers have been from there. but shoutout to my victorious fic from 2012 holding strong lol

evergreen, closest i get, not for nothing, you've got mail, and one way or another

5. Do you respond to comments?

yes yes absolutely!! sometimes i am late and sometimes i just leave it in there so i can have it stay unread but anyway i try to respond and i appreciate everyone who sends them to me. i have historically been a oneshot writer so it's been nice also to get comments on wips!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

oh shoot angstiest ending?? well i think i would say my supercorptober ficlet about memory loss of sorts might tick that (it ends kinda idk open but not bad, i will say)

but then there's also this one old soccer RPF i wrote that's more, idk, poetry than any real fic about one of them leaving lmao

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

the happiest ending? i mean all of them, i reckon. if they end up together or have a promise of together then they count lmao

8. Do you get hate on fics?

uhhh none that i've seen? i mean if it's in the comments, no? but if it's elsewhere, then also no? i have been fortunate in that way

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

OMG YES I AM FINALLY IN MY SMUT ERA

uh i reckon comedy smut for now (read DickFic here) but the day is young and my doc is empty so who's to say

but i have dreams for some sad smut because i'd like to develop the range LMAO

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

surprisingly, i do not. what i instead do is just little spin through five fandoms at any given time and just confuse myself that way

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

unfortunately yes. twice now. once was for my victorious fic that was used for a 5th harmony RPF lmaooo

and then on thanksgiving weekend, the first chapter of Crepe AU was posted by an anonymous for a The Wilds ship (but my friends rallied to get it taken down so i didn't have to send a takedown form to ao3 while i was traveling home)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope but that would be totally rad

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i love fic writing group work so yes! i have a series of sad angsty women that i have with my best friend in my revue starlight fandom, and then, of course, @sideguitars and i have 'humans in the storeroom' (that reminds me it's my turn to write the next part smh)

i also like jumping into writing sprints or writing exercises with folks (like a round robin)

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

let's not do this, i shan't pick amongst my children

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

so far all my wips are things i wanna finish and will do my best to finish. i have a couple of retired wips that will just sit in my ao3 forever and i have made peace with them, though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i wanna say characterization, pacing, emotional resonance, and a simple and natural writing style maybe

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action?? plot??? proper AUs lmao

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i do not because i find i butcher it and also then i cringe lmao

19. First fandom you wrote for?

oh written for but never posted? hermione/ginny

posted for? god probably All My Children (bianca and maggie) when i was like a teenager hahahahaha

20. Favorite fic you've written?

sorry no can do i love them all because i wrote them and there are so many things i enjoy about them. but i will say that the writing events circuit i've done this past year (supercorp bigbang, bumbleby big bang, and swan queen winter solstice) are born out of a lot of labor of love and i'm really proud of the work i've done for them.

and not for a writing event, but i am also extremely proud of re:live for mayakuro fandom-- that one makes me think that if i never wrote for that fandom again, that that's a really good fic to end on)

No-pressure tags, of course: @sideguitars, @eqt-95, @fazedlight, @luthordamnvers, @vox-ex, and @waytooinvested

(yall have probably done this before but here it just in case!)

OK! It's been another year! and boy has it been a lot afhdkahfak

In January I asked a girl out who I had a crush on, and in July we got engaged. And then in September we got married afkhkajfakjsl

I got to visit Chicago with a friend and see half•alive perform in the House Of Blues, eat some Chicago style pizza, visit lake Michigan, experience The Bean™, and scramble to find a hotel that wasn't over booked ajfhakda. I was able to spend a few days in Michigan to meet the in-laws, eat hibachi, visit their church, and try Tim Horton's.

In the span of about a month, me and my wife went through premarital counseling, planned a whole wedding, moved into a new apartment, dressed to the nines, said our vows and took the leap, and got to spend a couple days at a lakehouse retreat in Arkansas. And now we live at our own place trying to start our artist/writer careers.

I fought in ArtFight (and won) with a total of twelve attacks. I completed nine prompts for Inktober, which was for me a study of the art of Ari Gibson in Hollow Knight, but couldn't make it through the rest of the prompts, smh. I did a #sixfanarts challenge as well and had some fun with that.

In March I quite me full time job in place of a part time, to free myself up to work on my personal projects like Songs of the Fallen (my webcomic in pre-production) and finally get my art career off the ground. And speaking of which—I also started a Ko-Fi and opened commissions up again! Check it out!

Over all, so much has happened, and there's still so much more to come! I'm really thankful for this year and all I was able to do and experience. The future can look grim in many ways, but I know God has plans for good and not evil, so we can be ready for whatever comes.

Thank you all for following along, it's been a ride lol, and I hope to see you all in the new year! Cheers!🎉

Can you give me a few art tips i want to be able to draw sin kiske too

I am not the greatest at explaining things or giving advice. These tips are just what many artists have already said and points that *I* personally agree with or have helped *me*. The reason why I am putting emphasis on myself is because everyone is different so what helps *me* might not help you. These things you will have to figure out yourself, BUT there are many MANY art tutorials from different artists with different styles so maybe you can find something there! Anyways moving on-

Don‘t think too much and just DOODLE DOODLE AND MORE DOODLING

I am serious, turn that brain off and start doodling. I had this mental barrier for sometime (that I am still struggling with) where I just didn‘t feel confident in my art and didn‘t even wanna START drawing, bc I felt like everything sucked ass. But just turning that brain off and mindlessly doodling is so SO great because it doesn‘t have to be perfect or anything AND through the repeating motions of sketching you‘re training your hand to become better at making nice smooth strokes. Sketching mindlessly is honestly very theraputic for me, cuz I just get to have silly fun. There‘s no pressure in doing things. AND sometimes doodling mindlessly can lead to great ideas.

Tracing/Referencing

Ik there‘s lots of discourse about tracing and referencing in the art community, but I can only tell you that this has been extremely helpful for me and getting my anatomy right. While tracing helps getting the placements of body parts and lines right, referencing really helps train your eyes what to look for. You‘ll start to recognize familiar shapes that are prevalent in almost all body types or certain things that are almost always there in nature. Tracing can also help you get more familiar in the way that you draw certain things. These techniques are all about familiarizing yourself with whatever you‘re trying to draw (bodies, faces, landscapes etc) and engraving it into your mind. Ofc if you decide to post something where you traced or referenced something it‘s always good to show your sources, but this is mostly something to do in private.

Take breaks, treat yourself with something nice :)

Art can be tiring, so be sure to always ALWAYS take breaks when you feel like its about to get frustrating and maybe eat something, do something else to replenish that art juice, yeah? Breaks can last however long you want. Whats most important is that you won‘t start hating the process cuz this shit can be mentally taxing so breaks are super important. Even if the break takes a year or something, art can always wait and its not like you‘ll immediately forget all your skills that you have gained yk? Maybe you‘ll get rusty but muscle memory is one hell of a thing. You‘ll get the hang of it in no time!

Get shiggy wiggy with it

What I mean by this is to just have fun. Art is supposed to be enjoyable, so I say go crazy, go stupid with it. Like who gives a shit if its stupid or cringe? Just have fun! Don‘t let someone ruin the fun in art for you, okay? These people stink anyway smh my head… they just don‘t understand the joy of creating a beautiful art piece about ur favourite charaters doing dumb shit or kissing each other. (Just uh… don‘t get illegal with it)

Get obsessed with something. I am very serious about this

Unironically, getting obsessed with a character or franchise has helped me a lot to keep being motivated to draw. Like a character that just makes you so so happy that you just keep drawing them (I mean, look at me 💀), which goes back to the first point. Being obsessed with something can keep you drawing something for a long time. And it gives you a big ass serotonin boost. However-

Try something new!

Drawing the same thing over and over again is great, but it can get stagnant really quick. So sometimes you have to try something new, stuff that might be difficult or things you aren‘t really confident yet (like hands. Yeah I know, its a nightmare). Doing this will make your skillset much bigger and may deepen your understanding on how stuff works cuz this art stuff is really interconected. Like, if you know one thing then maybe you can also do the other.

Take it slow. Be easy on yourself

There is ALWAYS this constant need to improve. Especially on social media, where artists are expected to improve in lightning speeds or post the perfect art pieces (and tbh some of these might be self imposed too). But you really, you don‘t. Just enjoy it at your own pace, be proud of the stuff you made. Save it, keep it and look back on it to see how much you‘ve improved. Don‘t view art as something you need to be perfect at, but just as something that makes you happy. An outlet for your feelings. Something to do when you‘re bored. Or stuff like that, cuz it‘s really not that serious UNLESS you want it to be like a job or something. So be patient, because art is a marathon, not a sprint. There is no need to hurry.

Aannddd if you wanna be able to draw Sin specifically then channel your inner whimsical creature, become jolly, be silly and get shiggy wiggy with it :)))

#but like the most important thing is just having fun in your art journey #don‘t be too hard on yourself #just get silly with it ykyk #sorry if this is too nonsensical #these are just things that helped me #hopefully it‘ll help you too!#and as one little guy once said. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!!!

I come bearing an artists biggest fear. Numbers and self reflection, ENGARDE!!! 3, 8, 9, 15!!

3. Least favourite things to draw?

Legs and feet probably. Find that I struggle the most with those out of everything so they're rated the lowest. Always giving me a hard time smh

8. What do you like most about your own work?

It's a toss up between compositions of pieces and colors. Compositions of pieces I have always really loved tinkering with and while I may stop liking pieces for a variety of reasons, compositions tend to be the things I still like about them.

Colors are a much more recent point of pride. Just feels recently that my game has stepped up with those and I've been extra happy with them lol

9. What are you currently trying to improve?

Expressions. As time goes on my styles for projects have become more and more cartoony and I really want to get better at hamming up and pushing expressions. Really need to just loosen up and have some good goofs!

15. Biggest artist pet peeve?

God. Does my own perfectionism count lol? Been such a massive pain in my ass for so long, that actually getting out of it some makes want to peel my skin off whenever I feel it creep up again.

Tokyo Revengers and Dyeing Hair

In honor of me dyeing my hair today, I decided to make this for fun :)

Mitsuya

Is great at dyeing hair

Reads the instructions thoroughly and makes sure to follow them

Gives you one of his old shirts so you don't get any of yours dirty

Will dye his hair with you :D

Will also let you try putting the bleach/color in his hair and will do yours in return

Will also buy all of the supplies needed along with snacks :D

He's very prepared

If you're doing this at his house, expect his little sisters to be there as well

If they also wanted their hairs dyed and their mom was okay with it, he'd just do theirs ends

Overall he's probably the best to dye your hair with

Draken

Like Mitsuya, I feel like he's also really good at dyeing hair

Will also read and follow the instructions

Has a lot of experience with hair in general, I mean he styles Mikey's every morning sooo

Will probably be a bit confused at first tbh

Will get the hang of it eventually tho

Will ask the girls he lives with for help because some of them are bound to have some type of experience

Will also let you borrow one of his old shirts

Will order food because he's nice like that😌

When it's time to rinse out the color, he's prepared with towels on the floor and for yourself so you don't get too wet

Him washing out the color is really relaxing and feels rlly good bc he messages your head

Will clean up the mess afterwards with minimal complaint :D

Will also style your hair :)

9.5/10

Baji

He suckssss💀

Would look at the instructions and then throw them out💀

Probably because he can't read them lol

"How important can they be?"

Very important Baji💀

Anywaysss

Would forget to wear gloves and stains both his skin and YOURS

Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Would also use white towels to wipe his hands and ends up also staining those towels💀

Way too go Baji

But he's trying I guess so A for effort?

Might call Chifuyu and invite him over to help bc he can't figure out how to do this shit💀

Will also forget to set timers and stuff

During breaks tho, he'll let you pet and play with the cats in his room :D

Overall don't ask him for help when dyeing your hair💀

It's better this way😭

Kawata Twins (Angry+Smiley)

I'm gonna do both bc why not?

When shopping for supplies Angry would be the one getting the dye while Smiley goes for the snacks

They probably dye their hair with you so that's fun :D

Experts, although I feel like Angry would be the best at it

Angry doesn't need the instructions since he's probably been doing his and his brother's hair for a long time

You and Smiley would be having a conversation while Angry puts the bleach/color in your hair

Nahoya would sit on top of the counter as he watched his brother help you with your hair

Would feed you some of the snacks he got if your hands are full

When rinsing your hair he'd probably splash you with the water or try and drown you

No in between 💀

Angry however is very gentle :)

Can you tell I have a favorite twin?

Although Smiley is a little shit he'd still help

Would set timers and will help you rinse or put color in your hair if you asked

8.5/10

I would lov to dye my hair with these two honestly

Mikey

Sigh 🤦🏽‍♀️

He and Baji are probably the worst people to ask for this💀

Listen, I love Mikey

I truly do

But I think he'd be so bad at dyeing hair😭

This is in the past tho (I have hope for him in the future)

Would go to the store with you and IMMEDIATELY goes for the snacks💀

Will straight leave you to find some dorayaki (is that how you spell it?)

Don't send him to the store alone to get the dye bc he'd forget about it and would just come back with snacks💀

Now to the actual dyeing hair part

Would probably just sit on the bathroom counter honestly 💀

Would be no help

Would also fall asleep mid conversation as you're dyeing your hair

Spray him water to wake him up :)

(Still might not work tho bc he is a heavy sleeper😭)

The most he'd do to help would be calling Draken💀

Or Emma

The point is he is no help lol

Compliments your hair afterwards tho

So that's nice :D

Might ask you to do his too just for fun

Would ask to help style your hair so you can be matching

Overall, like Baji don't ask him for help in dyeing your hair💀💀

Uh oh it’s Unsolicited OJV Time again! (The wife is to blame) And you know what I wanna get into?! Why is it orange juice specifically?

So if you’re a regular in PCE Hell, you know the KMBS, the Kyle Mathew Broflovski Special of oj with seven ice cubes and a pinch of salt in a huge terrance and phillip cup, is the reason for which the series is named. But why did I pick that iconic (to me) beverage? Lemme tell ya!

(Under the cut bc of eating issue mention)

I’ve said before that the OrangeJuiceVerse wasn’t written in chronological order, and it will not be, bc I’m like “oh I have an idea for 30 yr old Stan!” and then “college main5 oneshot idea!” “Mid 20s style fic!” SMH I have put the fics in chronological order despite writing them all over the place, for the sake of a crumb of organization, but lord ok what I’m getting at here

So the first idea that wound up being the cornerstone of that au, the one that sat in my notes for so long, was Broken Bottles From Apartment 2. It’s a later ojverse timeline story (11th chronologically I think) but I posted it third. The first fic in that universe, A Fall In The Springtime (I hate that name btw I was trying to make a pun and it sucked rip), wasn’t even the first OJV story to curse ao3. I had written like the first half of the basketball game in ch 1 and I switched gears.

(Unsolicited PCE Lore time)

So during the era I was thinkin abt AFITS and BBFA2, I was also working as the prop master on a film. And I was really, really fucking stressed. I couldn’t eat or sleep and the only thing of any slight nutritional value that I could keep down was orange juice.

And ofc I was like you know who would absolutely have the same problem? Getting so stressed out that they can’t eat? Or won’t? Wendy Testaburger and Kyle Broflovski. So before the stories that were already in the notes for a hot minute got completed? Borrowed Hoodies And Orange Juice hit the shelves. And that detail of Stan keeping oj on standby in his backpack in case Kyle needs it, that felt right. And I carried that into the rest of AFITS.

That got posted a while before OJV was even solidified as the same universe in my mind, and imma be honest, I didn’t initially plan to have an aspect of it being Kyle as a former ed sufferer, but the more I developed him in bbfa2, the more it made sense for his character. So that stayed, even if it wasn’t even mentioned in that fic.

And the biggest kicker? The KMBS has been a staple for Kyle his whole life. His immune system is garbage. He gets sick a lot. Sheila always gave him orange juice with a little salt (for electrolytes) and at some point as he gets older and starts finding comfort in consistency (not this man and his borderline obsessive compulsive tendencies out here 8 years old delirious with the flu and paranoid as hell that if the juice isn’t in that t&p cup with EXACTLY seven ice cubes something bad will happen) BUT this breaks my heart bc when he’s in the trenches of his yeeting disorder he will not touch any liquid that isn’t water or black coffee. And on the rare occasion that he does have a lil juice bc he’s low and his whole life that’s his first instinct to get his blood sugar up? It has to be out of a prepackaged bottle. Not poured from a big carton into The Cup; he needs to see. And people in his life notice, and he’s like “yeah guess I grew out of it haha” oh my god that poor boy so the moment when Stan finds out about the ed, Stan Marsh, who has kept a bottle of minutemaid oj in his backpack since he knew what his best friend being diabetic meant, is with him in the locker room like okay Kyle gets low sometimes but he keeps an eye on his shit pretty well something’s wrong here and then Kyle’s looking at the goddamn nutrition info, still shaking, on the back of the bottle and it hits Stan like a brick to the face and THATS how he figured it out. For like fifteen years, long after Kyle recovered, that backpack bottle has the calorie count (Food Lore as Stan calls it) scribbled out. Just in case.

And it actually does take a while for Kyle to get to be okay with his favorite drink again. He associates it strongly with a chaotic carefree childhood and the ed developed with control as the root cause and anything associated with a time before that gives him a momentary panic. But only a few months out of restriction hell, you start to think “wait why did I think like that that’s fucking stupid” and he starts to have the default of laughing at the irrationality of it all pretty quickly. Stan doesn’t find it funny, Ike doesn’t find it funny, Sheila is on his ass about his eating habits until he’s 50, but Cartman roasts him for being a “stupid little rexie asshole” and Kyle takes comfort in at least one person not being overbearing about it. Stan doesn’t find that funny either.

So in the second ojv, Kyle proves to be really really awesome at comforting Wendy when she breaks down, because he’s been there. Kyle’s just good at comforting people in general, and that carries into his adult life and his career too. OJV Kyle is a middle school counselor. He’s helped a lot of students with a lot of different problems, but in particular, if a teacher notices a kid repeatedly avoiding lunch period and sends them his way, he has the experience tools to help them talk it out. And the minifridge under his desk? Guess what’s in there. ;)

*PastorCraigEnjoyer crawls back into her Cell to be the Comfort Dealer*

#I’m behaving #I’m Being Have!!!#very sorry to Kyle and also anyone who reads this!#but also #I’m not #we gotta hurt them to heal them #and by god I’m gonna #OrangeJuiceVerse #kyle broflovski #south park #ed tw #write what you know #and that shit #guys he’s fine I swear #sorry for ojvposting and not writing the ITTG epilogue #oh I just got a random nosebleed #weird #anyway oj is the superior juice #Nina don’t arrest me

Every night you dream that you talk to a genie, when you wake up you can't remember what you wished for. One morning you wake up with a giant crab pincer replacing your right arm. What do you do?

...so I just got this weird notification from tumblr and apparently they’re giving out writing prompts now (???????). Welp this seems to be a strange quest from an unlikely source so now I HAVE to do it I guess. SMH tumblr out here giving people homework. Anyway this isn’t quite following the entire prompt but here goes:

This was going to be my one good day.

Yesterday I had tons of errands to do and I didn't really get a good deal of time to enjoy my free time. This entire week I had been forced to go on a trip because I have to be there to take care of my elderly parents while the rest of my siblings get to be the good guys treating them to a vacation without actually having to deal with carrying their bags and waiting on their many needs. One of the realities of being unemployed and living with them, so it goes.

Today their nurse is back on duty and my elder siblings have all gone back to the big city so I had the house to myself at last.

I didn't expect to be spending my morning hiding in the bathroom and sweating like a pig while taking a file on a grossly large crab pincer which has inexplicably become what used to be my right arm.

After the initial wave of panicking, I tried to see what I could do to fix this mess. First I tried to see if I could move it. The range of motion is a bit narrow, but yeah, I could. The pincer thing was freaky and it took a lot to get used to. I snuck the toolbox into my room while everybody was still asleep and I have since been trying to see if I could remove the tough shell in hopes of finding my arm inside.

Surprisingly, there hasn't really been any pain as I've wacked away at the tough shell. I tried a hammer at first, and though I definitely felt the impact, it wasn't painful, it was just a dull sensation. Now I'm trying to slough it off with a flat file and it's getting worn away pretty easily. It still doesn't hurt, although there is a weird prickly sensation there. I try not to think about whether the damp file dust falling of of it is like, bits of me.

How the fuck does this even happen? Is this some sort of fucked up monkey's paw style wish gone wrong? I don't remember talking to any creepy sorcerers recently. Is this some god's idea of divine punishment? If it is, I'd just like to put it out there that I'm completely atheist so it's not like this is gonna do anything. Am I in some sort of weird Metamorphosis knockoff story where instead of my whole body turning into a bug I just have this crab arm? Cause I'm telling you right now this isn't gonna end in some sort of pathetic Kafka tableau. I'd rather rip this arm off than even think about having to explain this to my elderly parents.

A weird shuddering sensation suddenly crawls from my shoulder all the way down to the tip of my pincer. That's not good. I shiver again and my sweat grows cold on my body. My entire crab arm begins to tingle. One final rolling contraction, and then CRACK! The shell breaks open from tip to shoulder. Something fleshy peeks out from the shell.

Title Part II

Fandom Kimetsu no Yaiba

Pairing Yoriichi Tsugikuni X reader

Previous chapter

Symbols ✔ | ➕ | 💛

Warning (s): mentions of death and violence, family drama, family loss, grief

Tagging @darling-imobsessed (if you want to be tagged in any of my stories, just send an ask or a message 😉)

N. A.: Finally, FINALLY, Part II of this story is here! I'm so relieved that I managed to finish it 😭 For days I've been struggling to write this second part even though it was supposed to be simple and short (it ended up being a whole 4k chapter smh), but it is here.

I'm eager to see KNY's new season and bring more content from it to this blog in the future, but for now have this one. Hope you enjoy it and sorry for the delay 🥺😅

You didn’t know how long you stood there, in that silent exchange of looks that seemed to stop the curse of life. It could have been a minute, as much as it could have been an hour. During it, you almost forgot the blood, the pain and the deaths that just occurred, and your crushed heart finally had a moment to rest.

The enchantment was broken when the stranger took the first step towards a direct interaction: he bent down, leaning one knee on the snow, so close that you could hear his breath and the breeze moving the pair of hanafuda earrings he styled. Your eyes widened with the proximity, and you let out a surprised “Oh!” when he raised his hands and touched your shoulders. His touch was warm and soft, and your sensed your body relaxing under it.

The first words said between you were his.

- I apologize for not arriving earlier – and after a pause – What is your name?

A gentle but firm voice, one that fitted the owner. There was something in it that made it difficult for you to deny a reply, so you spoke despite your exhaustion.

- Y/n, Sir.

He nodded.

- Y/n-san, I am Yoriichi Tsugikuni. You do not need to worry. There are no other demons on the surroundings – and with a soft squeeze on your shoulders, – No one is going to harm you now.

You didn’t know that man and had no reasons to trust him, yet you shook your head in agreement, for his tone left no doubts about his honesty. In fact, just hearing his voice after all the depraved noises of the demons was like a purification ritual to your ears, and you sensed that you could stay there and listen to him forever if your circumstances were less worrying.

Suddenly, you remembered the woman and her child.

- Yoriichi-san, there were two people I helped moments ago! They were…

You glanced behind, trying to find the exact path taken by them, but a throbbing ache hit your torso and you interrupted yourself with a whimper. You curled upon your body and were going to fall on the cold ground, but the man, Yoriichi, held you in time.

- I know – he replied in a comforting manner – I met them on my way here. They reached their home, and are safe now. The woman pointed this clearing’s direction. It was not so hard to find it, because those Oni were reckless enough to leave traces of their passage all over the way.

- But...

- That’s okay – he put his hand over yours, hiding the blood stain – For now, we have to take care of this injury.

Contradicting him was silly. You silently thanked heavens for the woman and the child’s well-being and tried to focus on your own situation.

And then you had a new surprise regarding the man’s actions: he didn’t make any gesture towards uncovering the injury’s spot to see its real aspect; instead, he just took your hand off it and looked at it, examining it as if he was seeing your bare skin. You waited in silence, not wanting to interrupt the process nor knowing how to question the gravity of the case.

Soon he came with a conclusion.

- It is not so deep, despite being a large cut. Still, it needs to be cleaned and bandaged as soon as possible. It was made by an Oni, wasn’t it?

You nodded, but didn’t say a word. You lowered your eyes to the ground, praying for him to not question you about the Oni or the fight, at least for now. He might have sensed your uneasiness and didn’t extend the conversation.

He took the axe, long forgotten among the snow, and gave it back to you, holding its base with both hands as if it was a sword newly made by the smith.

- I believe this is what you used to save those people. Do not miss it.

You took it from him, at first with hesitation, but the encouragement implied in his words made your own hands firm again, and your fingers clenched around the object with renewed strength. Of course you could never miss that object; it was now the only thing you had to remember your brother.

- You cannot stay here with this injury – Yoriichi stated – Come with me. Let me help you.

Without waiting for a reply, he approached and took you in his arms; somehow, the gesture was so quick that you didn’t even have time to startle. You placed the axe between your arms and allowed your body to rest.

Somehow you were not impressed with how easy it was for him to take you from the ground: his physical constitution and fluid clothing were deceiving for unobservant eyes, but after what you saw you knew there were few who were as strong as him in the world. Not only this, but he was also incredibly fast: in a moment, you were still being lifted from the ground; in the next one, you were being carried among bushes and dead trees, the moonlight above alternating with the darkness as you two passed under the branches.

After what felt like a few minutes, you noticed you were no longer feeling cold: your fingers lost the numbness from the weather when you curled them around the axe, and the chills on your limbs disappeared. If you thought you were looking at the sun while seeing him from a distance, now you sensed you were under its light on a summer morning.

You remembered falling asleep listening to his heart beats, which were, you realized, as fast as his feet.

***

Your ears seemed to wake up before your eyes that time. You heard a sequence of curious, small sounds in a space that you thought to be limited by walls, as if a pair of diligent hands were finishing some simple, yet delicate task.

The sensation of warmth was still there, but you were not being carried anymore. Now you were lying on a soft surface, and had a sheet over your body. You tried to move a bit, to test your current strength, and found out you were able of turning on your side, but not without an ache; you remembered the injury and went back to your previous position.

When you finally opened your eyes, you saw that your supposition that you were inside a room was correct. You were lying on a futon and a white sheet was covering you to your waist’s height. You were dressed in your old clothes, but your haori and your scarf were taken off, perhaps to your own comfort; you looked ahead, to your feet, and saw them folded and placed on the edge of the mattress. Your boots were close to them as well.

You looked around and found Yoriichi with his back turned on you, kneeling before what looked like a bowl full of water. He seemed to be washing something in it, so concentrated in his work that he didn’t turn around when you woke up.

You leaned your elbows on the mattress, trying to sit, and noticed the task was harder than it was supposed to be: the fight has taken more from you than you first imagined. You were determined to not let this bring you down, but when the injury started hurting again, the sensation was so unbearable that you were forced to give up and lie again with a moan.

It was when the man left his task with the bowl and turned to you, showing that he was in fact listening.

He dried his hands on a towel near the bowl and came to your futon. When he knelt beside you, the first thing you noticed was the dark mark he had on his forehead. It was hard to tell if it was a birth mark or a scar, but you didn’t think of it while looking at it: more than anything, it reminded you of dancing flames.

- Please, be careful – he was whispering, helping you to your previous place – This cut is not the only thing you have to worry about.

He moved the sheet to check on the injury and sighed in relief when he saw it didn’t open. You remembered when he examined it in the forest and questioned him about it.

To your surprise, Yoriichi showed some embarrassment towards it.

- It is something I can do since I was a child – he covered you with the sheet again – It is useful in situations like that, where I could not expose your skin to the weather without the risk of making you catch a fever, at least one that could be worse than this.

He put his palm on your forehead to measure your temperature. So you indeed caught a fever: that explained the strange sensation you noticed since you woke up.

The man spent a moment in silence after moving his hand away from you. You didn’t try to speak during this time, both because you were too tired to engage in a conversation and because you sensed a need for quietness from his part: you didn’t know him so well, but it was clear that he had something in mind, the kind of thing one would measure before sharing with others. Again, time seemed to stop for you, and maybe it was some strange effect of the fever or the injuries, but you had the impression that the bright in his eyes – that you noticed to be of a reddish shade, not so different from his hair – diminished, like the last flames burning out inside a lamp. Like he was looking inside himself, oblivious to the world and you.

You only noticed the heavy silence surrounding the room when Yoriichi broke it with a second relieved sigh, almost as if he just woke up from some dream.

- Well, well, I guess everything is going to be alright – he displayed a gentle smile – We have no Oni around here, and your condition will improve after medicine and appropriate rest.

You nodded, but said no word in response. Part of you were questioning what just happened there, and the other part couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hiding something: he just fought a bunch of powerful demons with no struggle, and was now speaking of them like they were the object of his studies… or his prey. Was he some sort of demon hunter? Was he a traveler who somehow learned how to hold a sword? No, it couldn’t be: you knew about some samurai who weren’t able to do what he did in the forest. Was he some sort of superior knight, then? It was possible. Should you question him about this? Well, you doubted that he would tell anything, at least not until you recovered.

You might have been quiet for too long, or been too focused on your own deliberations that it leaked through your face, for you were brought back by a giggle from him.

You blinked twice and looked at him, confused.

- Oh… what happened, Yoriichi-san?

- Ah, it’s nothing – he gave you the same gentle smile of before, and for a moment you thought you saw him blushing – I suppose you have many questions. I will answer what I can, but I hope you understand that this is not the best moment. You went through many things in so little time. For now, all you need is a good rest.

A tightness reached your throat when you heard those words. Your lips started trembling, but not because of cold. That empathy in his voice, the wisdom in his demeanor and the maturity in his speech that would calm down any hint of desperation and put everything in its place – you’ve experienced all of that before.

Those were your brother’s manners.

Before you realized what you were doing, you were already turned on your side, curled over yourself, crying out loud, your cracked voice calling for your Onii-chan between your sobs. But was that worthy? What would you gain for recognizing his traits in other people when he was no longer there? Would you always hurt yourself that way? You were alone now. Accepting that was the best you could do...

A soft hand touched your shoulder and stayed there until your breath came back to its normal pace. You had your eyes closed, but you sensed Yoriichi’s voice near you, and a warmth indicating that he bent over you to speak.

And what he said shook the pain out of your heart in the least expected manner.

- My brother… he turned into a demon too.

You raised your eyes to him, your tears blurring the sight of his face.

- Your… brother?

He nodded.

- He was my twin. I used to love him since we were children – he straightened up again; and with a sigh, – I believe I still do, even though the creature that’s out there wearing his face is no longer him, but something else.

With a quiet sob, you wiped the tears from your cheeks.

- What is his name?

- Michikatsu. This is how he was called as a human. Today, he has a different name.

- Which name?

Yoriichi spent a second staring at you, perhaps surprised with your sudden curiosity. You bit your lip with embarrassment, but didn’t have time to apologize for the intrusion, for he quickly decided that the conversation was over.

- I am sorry for speaking this much when you have to rest – he smiled and stood up – Try to sleep for a little more. I will come back with some food.

***

When you woke up again, with the fever almost leaving you and much more disposition despite the always present ache on your side, you recognized the wisdom of following Yoriichi’s instructions and took some time to rest. After that, you were able to sit (with help) and hold the steamy bowl and the hashi that he offered you. The man sat beside your futon and after a quiet itadakimasu, you both enjoyed the late dinner.

The reasons for him to insist in your rest were not limited to the physical, of course. He has already stated that there were things you had to discuss, things that couldn’t be ignored even if the creature you cried for was not your brother. That you knew for certain: one’s heart could never remain the same after what you saw.

Yoriichi took the empty bowls and the hashi to another place behind a curtain hanging on the wall behind your spot, certainly the house’s kitchen, from where you heard the sounds of running water and the clink of the bowls inside a sink. After a moment, the sounds stopped and your host was back to your side.

He placed himself on the floor with his legs crossed in the lotus position, not seeming bothered by its cold or harshness. That reminded you again of his apparent untouchability by the environment.

Your first question was about the flames he summoned during the fight.

- Allow me to say that it is an impressive ability, Yoriichi-san. Any description from my part would never make it justice – you laid your hands on your lap, your fingers entwined – How do you call it?

For the second time, you noticed the blush coming up to his face. Such modesty coming from the man who displayed that amount of power was as impressive as the power itself, you thought. But he didn’t deny you an answer.

- It is a Breathing Style, created by me. It is called Sun Breathing.

Breathing Style? You’ve never heard of it. Was it some sort of combat form?

- A Breathing Style is a fight technique developed specifically to be used against Oni – Yoriichi explained – I tried to teach the Sun Breathing to others, but none of my students were able to master it. However, they managed to create their own Styles, adapted to their physical constitution and talents.

The man told you about some of the most powerful Breathing Styles and their users, as well as the demons they fought. All the stories were fascinating.

But they had you thinking.

- I wonder if any of those demons... ever resembled my brother.

A moment of silence followed your question, interrupted by Yoriichi, who had a request instead of an answer.

- Y/n-san, can you tell me about your brother?

Your eyes widened a little.

- What do you want to know about him, Yoriich-san?

- Everything you can tell – he smiled – Your love for him is more than clear. Talking about him must be good for you.

He was rights. If you had to carry on without your beloved brother, you must choose well what to take with you, and what could be better than your dearest memories with him?

You decided to share them with your host. And for the first time in weeks, you saw yourself able to smile.

- Onii-chan… was the wisest and the kindest person I can think of – you folded your knees under the sheet and surrounded them with your arms – We both had to be wise, of course, but he always felt like this should be his responsibility, for he was the first child. And being an example to his sibling while being gentle and honest in a world that would show no mercy on two helpless orphans was the bravest thing he has ever done. In my own way, I always wanted to be like him. You know, our life has been hard since I can remember. Our parents were poor and died when we were young. We had no one but each other. We never had a proper home. We were always moving from one place to another. He used to work in the forests, like our father did; that axe belonged to him. I used to clean and do other house works for people, still Onii-chan taught me how to use the axe. At the end of the day, we were exhausted and haven’t made much money, but we had food, clothes for winter and each other. And as long as we were together, we would be happy.

You told Yoriichi about the difficult roads you had to follow while traveling from village to village and from town to town, the way you would share your tasks, the games you would play and jokes you would tell, making each other laugh until your ribs started aching, and how you would have long talks that would go from evening to past midnight, even when you would have to wake up early.

You sensed that tightness on your throat coming back, but you had to keep speaking. You had to take that out of you.

- Onii-chan and I… We were just one – you bit your lower lip – We never made any promise, but we knew that wherever one would go, the other would just follow them. So when that happened… I had no choice…

Your voice disappeared, alongside with your vision behind the tears.

- I could never leave my brother after what happened to him! I could never turn my back on him knowing that he would hurt people, he who taught me all forms of kindness! – you took a deep breath, your hands clenching around the sheet – So I did what I had to do… I followed him during the nights and watched his hideouts during the days… I carried the axe with me and swore that if he tried to hurt someone… I would stop him…

There was nothing more that you could say through words, so you let the tears speak. You didn’t know for how long you cried, but you only stopped when you thought it was enough. You forced yourself to smile while wiping out the tears, your cheeks hot and clinging under your palms.

- I apologize for this scene, Yoriichi-san – you sighed – And for taking so much from your time with my grieving.

Yoriichi, all this time listening to your story in silence, didn’t show any sign of impatience or irritation. Instead, you’ve read in his eyes the same solicitous understanding of before, now in a new, deeper stage. You remembered his tears when he met you in the clearing and his words about his brother – he turned into a demon too – and the reason for that was clear.

That moment you knew: no one would ever understand you as him.

- There is nothing to apologize for, y/n-san – he assured you in his warmest tone – Meeting your brother through your words was a privilege to me.

Your eyes widened.

- Yoriichi-san…

- You wanted to know if there were other Oni that resembled your brother – he continued – Maybe the answer is yes. Your brother, my brother, the Oni you’ve seen in the forest and the others that walk on this world – all of them were once people like us. Sacred lives with stories yet to be told, emotions yet to be felt, goals yet to be reached. What they became, what was made of them… it is unforgivable.

Unforgivable. Though his tone didn’t alter when he spoke it, this last word ringed in your ears as a sentence of death. You were realizing that there was more about the demons and the Breathing Styles that you first supposed, things that you had the right to know after what happened to your family.

- So… there is something responsible for this.

- Not something. Someone.

The categorical reply made you bent over to hear, scared of what you were about to discover, yet eager for it.

- Someone? Who?

- A demon with the face of a man – your host’s eyes glimmered with a new flame, one of wrath and disgust – One that calls himself Muzan Kibutsuji.

What Yoriichi told you after that would sound unbelievable if you haven’t seen those things in the forest. According to him, this individual, Muzan, was the first Oni to ever exist, and has been in this world for an unnatural amount of time, turning countless humans into demons that would remain under his control in a mental and physical sense, with very rare exceptions. It was unnecessary to explain how little he thought of human life, with no concern for their bodies or dignity.

When you thought of what that meant, a disturbing conclusion took place in your mind.

- So, what happened to my brother and to yours…

You raised your eyes to Yoriichi and read the silent confirmation in his eyes.

- He is the person who keeps this wheel turning – his clenched his fists – To stop the birth of the demons and put an end to their loved ones’ suffering, finding Muzan is crucial.

Finding the man who turned your dear brother into a monster… or, as you would rather say, finding the monster who turned your brother into something like him, wasn’t something to think of. It was something to do. You didn’t waste time in incredulity or considerations in this sense: someone who had lost everything shouldn’t have this luxury.

It wasn’t desperation what you felt, nor it was anger. It was more of a need to react, a determination that couldn’t be contained by your hardest efforts, but would submit to your management, which wasn’t so different from other experiences you had in your short, difficult life.

You couldn’t stay there crying. You had work to do.

- Yoriichi-san…

- Yes?

- I just saved two lives in the forest, and then you saved mine. I will be forever grateful for this... but being grateful is not enough.

You raised your right hand, offering it to him with its palm turned up.

- I want this cycle to carry on. I want to stop the wheel from turning and save as many lives as I can. This is the best I can do, for Onii-chan and myself. Would you help me this second time, accepting me as your apprentice?

With no delay, the demon slayer raised his own hand and took yours in it, surrounding it with warmth and strength, and you, despite the tiredness and the injury, sensed yourself revive, as a new birth. The red in his eyes was glimmering again, and the sun in his earrings sparkled with the nod of his head.

- You already have the axe – he stated, the firmness in his hand growing around yours – I will lead you to the demon’s neck.
