I find it amusing Mayuri is the only captain we've seen in the shower, considering he probably wears the most clothes and it turns out he's absolutely smoking hot. Kubo is a TEASE.

I mean, he's the only captain where that's what it takes for the audience to see him that way (we can probably disregard Byakuya's bath reveal in TYBW lmao). There is no battle or place of comfort where we see Mayuri stripped of his frippery. If Kubo didn't show him in a position where he physically can't wear make up, we never would've seen his face!

It took Mayuri at an extremely private moment where he's bathing for him to drop the act because he is forced to. And as the audience we are privy to a scant moment. That never happens again. Ever. At all. In the whole of canon!!! Even when Kubo's done a human world fit for Mayuri, he is still keeping it clown.

But I agree, it's amusing. Top 5 things Mayuri would burn down the world for seeing, for sure.

#Personally I find Mayuri hot as he portrays himself on the regular. But I feel as if that is extremely known LMAO #And I find it fitting that's the only time it happens #Because it's a very consistent part of Mayuri that he DOES NOT want himself to be seen that way #He is not a normal person. He's a scientist. He's a genius. He's the Captain of the 12th. He runs R&D. You can't just look like a normal gu #and do all that shit. I mean look at Kisuke Urahara he tried and he got kicked out of the Seireitei. Because he's a no good hack. #Unlike Mayuri Kurotsuchi the most Scientist Of All Time Who Is Definitely Not Spiraling Toward Emotional Ruin The Whole Manga #Anyway #I would fuck him as is no need for the cleansing routine I am perfectly fine finger painting #DRAFT EMPTYING

you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons

#‘out of nowhere’ she says like she hasn’t been doing a lot of reading/thinking recently about various tragic messy breakups #and the later regrets of the parties involved #anyway. tell me not to text her #it’s been over two years since the last time we talked… absolutely no reason to break that streak now. lord give me strength #she was really fucking mean to me! like objectively intentionally unwarrantedly cruel! it ruined an entire year of my life #and fundamentally changed me as a person on a deep level! there’s a lot of things i used to like about myself that i don’t think i’m ever #going to get back #and yet every once in a while we have to do the whole ‘maybe i could make things right’ song and dance 😔 #the thing is most of the time i’m not even really angry with her anymore like enough time has passed since all the shit went down that #really i just sort of look at her behavior and feel sad. both because of the impact on me but also because of the ‘that’s really how you #felt you needed to act towards someone who cared about you? you couldn’t have just expressed your feelings in an honest and productive way #instead of just lashing out in the cruelest possible way and ruining the entire relationship beyond hope of repair?’ #and i feel bad and sorry that it went that way and honestly i kind of pity her and hope she’s gotten some of her shit worked out #so i’m not like. actively pissed off at her anymore. but also i can’t think about her without thinking about the worst year of my life so 🙃 #i don’t actually feel that trying to reopen that door would be very healthy for me at least #we did try a Reconciliation of sorts a couple of months after the initial falling-out and while it was kind of helpful for me in that she #like. apologized lmao. and affirmed that i wasn’t crazy and she did in fact On Purpose say the most hurtful things she possibly could have #said to me given the information she had at her disposal. and that i really had not done anything to her that could warrant that. etc. #it also left a sour enough taste in my mouth that i just don’t see a future where the two of us spending time together is enjoyable for me #and yet… the regret will always live inside me i think. maybe if i were a stronger person… #caseyposting

If you’re still taking “hot” takes…. C!Dreambur would have been ten times more toxic than c!Drunz. C!Wilbur would have taken one look at c!Dream post-prison and gone “i can break that bitch better”. And then flaunted it in c!Quackity’s face.

And because I know you really dislike c!Tommy, c!discduo deserved a happy ending. I leave what that may entail up to your interpretation.

"and because i know you really dislike c!tommy" do you know me ... ? at most i can be somewhat ambivalent but i like the kid in general lmao

look all im gonna say about the c!dreambur c!drunz convo is that for all that people talk about how c!dream and c!punz had No One But Each Other c!wilbur did it first with "Wilbur believes Dream has nothing if not himself"

#my asks !! #dsmp hot takes #'and wilbur would have his alliance.' #also are u kidding me im the c!drolo c!wilbur anti who wanted c!wilbur to take an immersion blender to c!dream's brain #like i freak out abt vassal on an every two month schedule #like yeah i mean c!drunz toxicity has a lot to do with c!dream's many issues more than anything #and a batshit plan that happened on the tails of a ruined reputation and an existential crisis #meanwhile c!wilbur? the guy that like singlehandedly had c!dream redefining his entire sense of self? #like. lol lmao?

I've really just had a realization that Sinbad told Kougyoku that Alibaba knew about Zepar... while Alibaba was still considered dead...

It'd make sense if he used that once Alibaba came back, to divide them, since Alibaba was pretty instrumental in Kou's revival, but what did he think he'd gain by telling her earlier? Literally my best idea is he'd done that to gaslight her, but, damn, using a dead man's name to do so? Very low.

#by which i mean this is something i can imagine him doing but still #remembering that made me go ??? what was that for? #like if it was during the final arc then sure it's a dick move but also a smart move #alikou's just too powerful together lmao #but what was the point of saying something before that happened? #like hey remember your one and only friend your bestest friend ever who is currently dead bc of your cousin who ruined your family #and your entire country and also your life which i was also heavily involved in hey did you know he knew about that way i used you to #ruin everything and just said nothing? have a great day bye #magi #alibaba saluja #ren kougyoku #sinbad

some guy commented on my narrator + toriel fic saying "well the narrator's done some questionable stuff once or twice but he's not the one who let SIX children DIE just to SPITE her ex-husband" lmaoooo bro did you even play undertale? you can just say you have no reading comprehension it's okay

#like. of all the toriel slander i've seen this is by far the most ridiculous bc like #even on the most basic of levels it is so clearly wrong. toriel did not let the children go WITH THE INTENTION OF THEM DYING lmao #like her entire thing is not wanting kids to die and being overprotective because of it. that is a basic tenet of her character #and most toriel slander i've seen at least. knows this basic fact #they say shit like 'she's controlling and domineering' or 'she should've gone with them' #but this guy? no. they seem to believe that she. wanted them to die. to 'spite asgore'? how exactly would this spite him? #if i recall correctly (sarcasm. of course i recall correctly) #asgore was the one who WANTED the fallen humans to die. #or he didn't really want them to die deep down inside #but still he saw to it that they did. they would not be dead if it were not for him #and the anti-human laws he put in place #and his attempt to raise the kingdom's spirits by declaring war on humans. #i try to be as neutral as possible on any given character but you can't deny that that's an objective fact. #if toriel let them die she would be helping asgore's purposes. #her entire goal by living in the ruins is to take in fallen humans and protect them #so asgore DOESN'T kill them. so she can thwart his plans THAT way. #also i love the wording of 'the narrator's done some questionable stuff' #he exploded stanley. he erased all of stanley's friends and coworkers. he has made stanley's existence a living hell for god knows how long #i mean yeah yeah it's not really him who's in control they're both slaves to the narrative and all that #but he holds a lot of power over stanley and he uses it. and abuses it. #to act like wilful sadistic murder is on the same level as a distraught bereaved mother #trying to save other children from the fate her own suffered and becoming overprotective in the process #is just ridiculous. lol #anyways i deleted the comment :] no toriel slander under toriel-sympathetic fics pleeeaaase

v13.5 has given me the biggest love/hate relationship with rejuv that wasn't there when i first it played with v13 sorry

#bwark #rejuv lb #rejuv spoilers #emery and i were just talking about it but this update feels very.....reborn-esque #and that's not a good thing #dgmw rejuv is still nowhere near at the same level as reborn but. it feels like it's starting to get there #the puzzles are definitely becoming more of ame's brand of bullshit #stuff like the ending of vivian's regret just come across as very mean-spirited for no reason #and i mentioned this before with the tower of theolia section but it feels more and more like the tone is going all over the place #like i praise rejuv over reborn for how it handles its opening #the attack on the ship is treated with the seriousness it deserves even though there aren't any casualties #meanwhile reborn starts off with a terrorist attack on a train where most of the passangers die and immediately afterwards you're introduced #to a character who's like ''LMAO XD that explosion was pathetic i could've done a better job than the terrorists aren't i so quirky and #random XDDDDD'' and you're fucking supposed to like this person??? #so rejuv handles the opening a lot better but other serious and tense moments tend to get ruined by an awkward misplaced joke or something #and like of course that's nowhere near as bad as reborn's mess but i'm starting to get concerned

[trashlie]

now wait a DANG minute......

all this stalkyoo talk gave me a stupid epiphany....

the fact that Nol is the only one that is actively calling Shinae "Yoo" rn....

And it makes the title of the story soo transparent than it already is .

😭

i know i know its a dumb thought but i just NEVER read it in that angle for the first time until now.... :p

I've thought about this a lot and I'd really love to hear quimchee talk about it but I don't know if she'll be able to until later, in case it's right and it was an indication of Nol lol

I remember her once saying that there isn't anything to read into re: the title, that it was just something she came up with because she's bad at titles and it wasn't meant to be an indication of anything but... she's also said things to throw us off the trail before or to evade giving spoilers lol so I don't know if that was truthful or not?

Because the romance is such a secondary thing I've always taken what she said at face value because I think the main focus of the story is still so much about those interpersonal relationships, the way Shinae was accidentally drawn into this very complex family drama and how she sort of got centered between these two brothers with a really messed up dynamic, and how becoming involved with that affected her own life. But, yeah lol with a lot of the development we've seen up until now, it sure comes off that way, right?

I have a friend who also reads (though she hasn't caught up in ages and I am dying waiting for her to lol) who ships Dieter and Shinae but when we got to episode 151 when Nol called her Yoo for the first time she was like "Ohhhhh I see it's going to happen huh" lol and I hadn't! Even thought about that? Because I really did take what quimchee said at face value lmao and now I want her to talk about it one day - if she really intentionally named it that or not!

Cos yeah, even now he still continues to call her Yoo, and right, he's the ONLY one who does, and I think he will for a while. Someone I was talking with on reddit pointed out that it was because Shinae had told him if she's not allowed to be familiar with him, he can't be familiar with her and call her by her name - which I had definitely forgotten about lol - and we think that's probably what it is?

Gonna stick some spoilers under this read more now hehehe

Even as VERY FAMILIAR as Nol is acting with her, he's still calling her Yoo and he's probably struggling with that disconnect. He doesn't think himself allowed to be familiar with her yet, after everything that's happened, so he still calls her Yoo, even though he seems to be acting on more familiar instincts. The closeness, the touching, the dance invitation!!! These are SO INCREDIBLY FAMILIAR.

And yet, who he is he to her? Is he ready for her to call him Nol, Nolan? Does he still want to be Yeonggi? If he can't let her use Nol, does that mean he can't call her Shinae? If he goes by Yeonggi, that's still unfamiliar, right, because he's using his mask. So even though he's acting on these wants, being familiar with her in a way they hadn't (consciously) previously been, in his mind he cannot call her Shinae yet, because he cannot be Nol yet.

(I think that will be INCREDIBLY exciting future development, when not only he's able to call her by her name again, but when he will let her call him Nol. The name that once was so precious to him has been marred and demeaned and now feels like a branding of what he means to that family, but I think when he's ready to take that name back, to reclaim it and let it be something special again, and when he lets Shinae use it is going to be a big, BEAUTIFUL moment. I think he's far from that yet - Nol has been used against him for so many years, it will take a lot of undoing for the name to become something special for him again. But GOD when Shinae gets to use it ;~; I will cry. When his friends get to call him Nol, I will cry ;~;)

So!!!! To respond to you basically - I FULLY had not considered it that way because I will believe what people tell me until proven otherwise LMAO but it definitely feels really suspicious at this point now that it's been 50+ episodes and Nol still cannot use her name, and will probably continue to, and who else does it?! But also yeah, because this was so romance secondary I had never considered it to mean anything pertaining to romance? So idk! We'll see in time won't we lol. I'm always interested in hearing what other peoples' interpretations are, because for a while, my working interpretation has been that Shinae has inadvertently gotten involved in so many peoples' lives and, much as Yeonggi did with her, she's grown to become this very special person, so in a sense, so many people have come to love her? But also again I just believed that quimchee threw together a pun and said i guess this works and it was too late to ever change it LMAOOOOOO

ANYWAY DON'T FEEL DUMB! I think a lot of us took what quimchee said at face value and have just never thought anything else of it LMAO so being the first time you're reading it that way definitely isn't dumb!

#I Love Yoo #ILY Brainrot #ILY Spoilers #ILY FP #it's not major spoilers but i like to be careful over here hehehe #i don't want to ruin a surprise or something for people i want everyone to get to enjoy their first read through #yknow unless you are someone who knowingly reads because you also like to be spoiled before you read lmao #no shade guys i do it all the time it gets me extra hyped afljakfjajkfjaf LMAO #but anyway truly v v minimal spoilers #this ask is so cute lmao i love it thank you for sending it!!!! #i love little giddy what a minute i just realized!!!! messages #i love it when people go 'wait a minute i've been reading this and it got me thinking' like ;~; #idk how do i put it? it's just so cool that anyone goes 'omg i have this thought' and decides to come tell me ;A; it means a lot

[todayisafridaynight]

So I was going to comment I don’t know your favorite Yakuza character then I remembered it was Jo and I have to ask what specifically about him makes him number one?

if you're referring to my baddie baddies tier list, then that wasn't a tier list of my favorite yakuza characters it was a tier list specifically of how hot i found each antagonist to be unless you're coming from my DB blog where i said he was one of my faves but this/that amirite

regardless tho i will talk about why i love jo cause he genuinely is one of my fave charas in general and the reason for that uhhhhh he's neat :) and hot.

But In All Seriousness i unno, it's hard for me to explain why i like characters sometimes. i'll try under the cut tho cause It Gets Long

for jo, a big part of it is how he is as a father- or trying to be a father anyway. he didn't think twice about giving aoki up as a baby- he didn't even really care if he died or not. it was only thanks to masumi that aoki got that chance at life, and if it weren't for the fact he accidentally walked by masumi and aoki that one day jo probably would've gone the rest of his life without having a second thought about it

but thats the thing: they did cross paths that day, and jo's forced to confront the fact his actions did have consequences. he was forced to grow up out of that mentality he had as a kid- that if you don't look at the problem, it'll go away. evidently, they didn't: his actions had consequences, consequences that affected not only his or ikumi's life, but aoki was ultimately going to be the one to shoulder the burden the most because they couldn't be bothered to just give him to someone and tried to leave him in a locker of all places. it's what heightens jo's quote to ichi about taking responsibility as a yakuza all the more impactful in retrospect as well, and it's details like that that make revisiting the game all the more fun

but back to jo, he fully realizes what he did was fucked up, and that there's no conceivable way he can ever make amends or right his wrongs. joining the yakuza would be the next best thing for his goals, not like he saw much of an honest future for himself anyway. at the very least, he can try to support his son anyway he can no matter the cost- or at least, anyway he can for the most part.

jo's inability to kill masumi despite it being a direct order from aoki himself is also such a telling part of his character that makes me weep a little. he entered the yakuza with sole intentions of looking after aoki and taking care of him, nothing more or nothing less. ergo, it would be up to masumi to decide how much jo gets to be involved in his son's life

but that's the thing right: masumi would be the one primarily taking care of aoki. we know masumi tries to keep in touch with aoki via the beginning of the game where he laments his calls don't get returned, and masumi seemed to spend whatever time he could with aoki growing up based off of ichi's brief flashback.

being a yakuza boss be damned, jo got to see first hand how much masumi loved his son despite his circumstances that would've made a lesser parent quit or despise him- that despite his status as a yakuza boss, he would be there and be an active presence in aoki's life enough to annoy him and think of him as nothing more than a helicopter parent. i'm willing to bet that despite jo trying to brush off the sentiment that masumi was anything more than a patriarch to him, he probably did harbor genuine respect dare i say adoration for him. how could he not? even if masumi didn't know aoki wasn't really his son, he took care of him as though he were, complications and all.

if we wanna stretch it, then based off the RGGO iteration of sawashiro, he got his tattoo in direct honor of arakawa: if we're to believe that bits of RGGO sawashiro made it to Y7 sawashiro, then it's fair to say sawashiro's dedication and respect to masumi were immense (though we can make the argument that Y7 sawashiro might not have the same tattoo, or that his tattoo now could be dedicated to taking care of aoki instead- BUT this is speculation at this point, its just something i think of and i figured i'd add it).

which what makes One Of My Favorite Yakuza Scenes all the more meaningful: the day masumi is found dead, that's when we get to see jo really lose it and gives us one of the bloodier moments in the franchise. us getting to see jo actually puncture someone's eye in really heightens his anger with the circumstances at hand- i concede that jo was genuinely frustrated with how the yakuza were being toyed with, but i also dont doubt for a second he was sincere when he told ishioda he wanted to maim whoever took out masumi ishioda was probably thanking the stars tendo was the one to do him in amirite LMAOO. whether it's because of yakuza honor or having lost someone he cared about, jo's dedication is palpable and frightening when it's allowed to flourish

its weird to say tho someone said it a long time ago on one of my tags, but jo's sentimental for a yakuza, even if he wants to be a hard ass about it. he's made his life's purpose trying to right a wrong that can never be fixed (hell, his manner of fighting can be translated as "shame style" reaffirming that despite the years gone by and aoki's actions and disregard for him, he can't quell his guilt. never mind he was ready to take off ichi's finger based on the assumption he took aoki's money from him with his permission), and along the way i'm Hopeful in saying he found SOMEWHAT of a confidant in masumi to make his burden a bit lighter.

jo's by no means a good guy- not even by a long shot. he IS however an incredibly compelling character, and i'm glad that we get to see him somewhat again in LaD8 for however long they'll keep him around in that.

also his theme fucks 11/10 brutality's a fucking banger

#snap chats #god this is longer than i thought #i probably left out some notes but yeah. i love jo #i think he's great i love the arakawa family sm and jo's a real special part of it #i didnt think it would fit in the main text but one of my favorite throwaway lines from masumi #is talking about how jo can be softer on aoki compared to masumi #like UGH. I WONDER WHY //CRIES// #honestly i just wanna know how the family's arrangements were made yk what i mean #cause masumi would be with the tojo and sawashiro evidently would stick with aoki #i just wanna know when they decided that- i still believe jo went to america with him #that musta been ironically sweet of masumi huh. jo gets to spend all this time with his son #his bitch ass son who hates him and would rather see him dead LMAO //weeps// #but UGH AGAIN that just reinforces jo's dedication dont it. #it has me believe that if jo thinks about trying to correct his son he might be doing him another wrong #like Oh You Already Ruined His Lungs Now You're Going To Do This? #he might also have partial anxiety about being like his abusive father and not wanting to extend that to aoki #tho that part's more of a stretch if im honest #still it's safe to say jo doesn't push back against aoki because of his neverending guilt #uuuughhhh i could prob talk bout jo for hours he's just so good of a character to me i love love love him #i love it when characters try to do better even if it hurts them #I LOVE IT WHEN PARENTS LOVE THEIR KIDS AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM. EVEN IF AOKI DON'T DESERVE IT ☠️ #its the parental issues in me sorry #but yeah if you read all this. thanks :) #and if not. well. i had fun rambling about jo anyway :)
