for me, nothing hits quite like someone who's sick but like...still in a good mood? like either ignoring it or admitting they're not well but still pleasant to be around. like they sneeze and someone asks if they're ok and they just roll their eyes and say "yeah i just have a stupid fuckin cold" 🫠😳👁️👄👁️🤩

So the more that I think about the blackwater arc and just the characters in it, it just makes me go insane because I love parallels and similarities in characters. Gonna be some (many) spoilers so under the cut
This is gonna be about Shi Wudu and He Xuan primarily lol. BUT literally the way they share so many similarities...like ofc there’s the way that Shi Wudu switches his brother’s fate with He Xuan, leading to the death of an innocent man and his whole family. But we also get He Xuan abducting Ming Yi and just...leaving him to rot basically? Like they both lead to the death of an innocent for what is pretty much a selfish reason. Both reasons are understandable in their own circumstances (SWD trying to save SQX, HX wanting to get his revenge) but both do something horrific to the one who suffers for their choice.
There’s also the parallels they have with their control over the waters. Shi Wudu essentially controls water that is most related to people (i.e. trade, travel, those kinds of things) while He Xuan control waters outside of people’s control. And it’s interesting because BOTH of them are known for causing ship wrecks, and sinking ships which is in the Water Tyrant and Black Water Sinking Ships.
Also maybe this one’s controversial but I notice a lot of people comment of the lack of choices that Shi Wudu gives Shi Qingxuan, but in some ways I would argue the same for He Xuan. He says that he gives them many choices to separate themself from their brother but...those choices feel overly uninformed and underexplained. It isn’t very fair of He Xuan to have the expectation that Shi Qingxuan wouldn’t help Shi Wudu especially considering that they do seem to be fairly close siblings. They both leave Shi Qingxuan in the dark about important things, to an unfair amount.
Like these are just some interesting parallels or similarities that I’ve noticed between these two, which the amount of hate between them makes more interesting lol.

universe of constant spinning, every end a new beginning
“So, do you have an umbrella? That was like, your thing, right? At Claw?”
Ah—not again! He can’t keep zoning out while talking to people—especially his boss.
But… why was Reigen still here? It was late and he always got to work early. It wasn’t his job to stay and coddle his employees. “I—uh—no,” he stuttered, fingers twisting anxiously. “Mine was, uh, "is” broken, sir.”
‘Broken’ was a mild way to put it. More like it got destroyed.
[or, reigen gives serizawa an umbrella]

oh these are both so good. I'm gonna do the ibanagi right now but feel free to resend the ibayuzu and I'll come back to it when I have better ideas 👀👀
ask game
…in secrecy.

Ah, it's late again. He really needs to get better about his time management but he's salaried, so it's not like it matters how many hours he's clocked in for. Ibara shifts in his seat and rubs his eyes under his glasses. For a moment he thinks it would be nice to have an assistant that could help him out but that would never work with the amount of information he has to keep under wraps.
Or maybe having a second person to help would make him less likely to give up that information out of sheer exhaustion. He'll talk to the president about it tomorrow. He should make a note of that before he forgets. He should pack up and go back to his dorm for the day. Ibara lays his head on his desk and closes his eyes, just for a few minutes he tells himself. Just a few minutes of rest and he'll be up and back on his way to the dorm and actually sleep in his own bed.
Someone shakes him awake. It's gentle and Ibara thinks of the kids in those movies Hiyori makes them watch that ask for five more minutes from their parents. He's too dignified to do something like that though.
Someone chuckles and shakes him again and Ibara finally opens his eyes. It's lighter than he remembered it being when he went to...oh. He fell asleep at the office again. He buries his head in his arms, grumbling.
"Ibara." He bolts upright.
"Your Excellency! Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Nagisa laughs. "Someone told me they never saw you leave last night. Is everything okay, Ibara?"
He relaxes and leans back in his chair. God his back hurts but he has another long day at work. He'll make a note of that later.
There's something soft against his cheek. It's a little scratchy but--
"Your Excellency that is entirely--!"
"We're alone in your office Ibara."
He just knows his face is going to be as dark as his hair with how it heats up from the gesture. A kiss, even just on the cheek... He'll deal. He'll deal with it. It's not like it's something he wishes he got more often or anything.
"T-that's besides the point. Don't do it again."
Nagisa chuckles and Ibara resigns himself to spending his day with Eden's leader.
