I recently bought the jp volumes of Hellsing along with the guidebook, and since I'm reading the series in its native language for the first time I might as well share some random things that stood out to me in no particular order.

This isn't meant to be an analysis of translation differences, I'm too lazy for that. Also it's been 12 years since I've watched the anime and read the low quality fan scans of the manga so some of these comments are just "Lol, forgot this was a thing"

Volume 1

... I really want to know who this guy is at the beginning, yelling at Alucard in overly familiar language to "Get your shit together!" and "You're the only one we can count on!!". We know from the style of speech that it's a dude, probably just some Hellsing rando, and maybe it's not all that strange since he has probably been working with the same soldiers for years--but it's still funny.

"I know, it's just so nice out :("

..The way "HELLSING Organization" is spelled out like this reminds me that apparently the name is supposed to be an acronym. No really.

...

God they're so silly.

Now that I think about it, the only thing Seras has done this chapter since being turned into a vampire is say "I'm sorry" over and over.... girl you got shot in the lung, why are you apologizing

Not a huge difference, but what Integra actually says here is "Leaving a corpse here for 20 years... You're a terrible person too, Father" and not "What were you thinking, Father?" as the Dark Horse translation suggests (note the lack of question mark in the raw version). I thought that might be of interest to some.

Something else I thought was interesting is the first line Alucard ever says to Integra, and how uncharacteristically polite he sounds.

O-kega wa gozaimasenka- That's two honorific 御's back to back! (He even said them in kanji, even Walter isn’t that straightlaced and he’s literally the butler.) This is also the only time Alucard uses this overly flowery gentlemanly language with her, and good thing too because it would be so annoying if he spent the whole manga ending his sentences with ~gozaimasu.

What I'm trying to get at is, after seeing this sentence in the Japanese version, I'm like 100% sure he actually heard her when she was mumbling to herself about hoping to find a knight in shining armor, and he was totally going the extra mile in playing into that role for their first encounter. Which is kind of sweet.

Lol they misspelled Alucard on the top left... or rather, they incorrectly spelled it right?

One would normally expect Alucard to be written アルカード, and indeed pixiv dict lists アーカード as a misspelling (the u sound is weak in Japanese, so it's easy to mishear arukādo as ākādo). Hirano was definitely aware of the correct spelling though, since he used it in the pilot chapter and in his old character sheets. It was only when the manga officially began that he switched to the アーカード spelling. I doubt it was because of copyright issues because there is already a long precedent of vampire characters named アルカード in various old manga, OVA, and games in Japan that have coexisted without issue (like this guy Hirano mentions in volume 1's afterword).

Most likely Hirano simply thought it looked better, or was a means of differentiating his character from the others somehow. It certainly makes life easier for Japanese fans searching for fanart since アーカード is only going to bring up Hellsing and not the Castlevania character.

Jan Valentine even pokes fun at the spelling discrepancy later in volume 2, but since there wasn't a good way of expressing this in English it was left untranslated.

(Speaking of spelling inconsistencies, there's a lot of minor details I'm noticing now, like half the time the furigana for 吸血鬼 is written バンパイア and the other half it's ヴァンパイア... anyway)

Um, just noticed literally everyone's wearing glasses What should I do

Hirano's habit of jotting random comments underneath his panels is one of the underrated perks of reading the manga

The Dark Horse translation almost makes it sound like she's looking forward to seeing this battle play out, while in the Japanese she simply sounds apprehensive. Almost as if she's worried about them? And she's going out on the field personally to make sure nothing bad happens? Aww

Ok this is a weird tangent, but I just noticed the scans of the Dark Horse version I've been looking at use a slightly larger image range than the Japanese version does. It was only noticeable when I got to this part:

The second image is what the Japanese version of the scan looks like and I can confirm that this is what it looks like in my physical volume as well. You shouldn't be seeing the messy borders of the inking on the bottom like that.

Manga manuscripts are set up so that there are a few millimeters of bleed border around each page. You're supposed to color and line all the way up to (4) while keeping in mind that printing and paper cutting may result in the image being trimmed up to (3).

Either Hirano didn't color his lines all the way to (4) (this man has been drawing manga for years but this is Hirano we're talking about so it's very possible), or Dark Horse didn't honor the original bleed borders of the manuscript. I'm kind of leaning towards the former since there was a Hellsing exhibit in Japan a few years back where you could look at Hirano's original manuscripts and there's one where you can clearly see that he spilled a mug of tea or coffee across the entire page

Anyway, it's weird, and I'm curious to see if someone that owns a physical copy in English can confirm whether theirs actually looks like that. It's volume 1, page 141.

[fatuismooches]

Random Dot analysis:

The interesting thing about Dottore is that while the most popular fanon about him is that his underlings fear him, canonically it's the complete opposite.

He deadass has an army of simps working for him, I had never ran into a Fatui NPC that has expressed fear about him, and instead they speak about him in reverence.

The most obvious one is during the AQ where a fatui agent expressed disappointment upon realising that Dottore would be leaving Sumeru soon, saying that he had only seen the lord once.

And it seems that Dottore actually talks to his subordinates often, especially when in the same conversation, the agents (who didn't know about the segment's existence thus not realising that they spoke to different versions of the Doctor) casually compared how their conversations went, one said that Dottore was dismissive while the other said he was all smiles.

The people who work for him are ridiculously dedicated, the fungi event with that one guy who for some reason - thought that a device that controls fungi would impress Dottore, he did all that to earn his recognition. (It would have been more impressive if the device controlled literally ANYTHING besides fungi, but eh whatever) Note: The guy has said in CN expressively something along the lines of "beloved/dear" lord, not the direct translation but it was affectionate.

Then there's that one dude who stayed behind after the (failed) aranara lure experiments, I don't remember much about him but I don't think he said anything bad about Dottore, other than saying that he had stayed behind because he felt responsibility to take care of the kids after subjecting them into a mission like that.

Cut to the two Fatui peeps on Mondstadt who gush about him after the Sumeru quest, and I'm pretty sure we met another fatui dude in the desert who decided to go against orders and go the extra mile of attempting to kidnap desert dwellers to present as test subjects to again - impress Dottore. I think this was a Jeht quest?

Oh, and in the manwha, it's briefly mentioned that Dottore does reward efforts handsomely.

Tldr:

Fanon - Dottore is cruel, he terrifies everyone who works under him and they always walk around eggshells with him.

Canon: Dottore gives high reward for efforts, he has too many simps that sings him praises and they're literally scrambling to be in the same room as him.

Conclusion, we need more dottore simps in fan content. Because not only is it more accurate, but its also funnier for Dottore to be followed by a hoard of fans.

ALRIGHT YOU HAVE ME THERE... I went back and reread the dialogue for the agents for when Dottore was leaving and phew you're right, lol now that i realize it's pretty entertaining!!

But now i have questions. How many agents know that Dottore has segments? The ones that do know, are they not allowed to spread this...? I'd think the news would be all over the recruits but I guess not. And I guess these segments are ridiculously similar physically/appearance wise too. 😭 And the ones that don't know, do they just think their Harbinger has multiple different personalities or something?? I need more NPCs talking about Dottore.

ELCHIGEN. THE FUNGI NPC GUY WAS SO FUNNY. I still have screenshots of when he spoke about Dottore omg, bro was DEDICATED. Literally created a whole scheme and put his life on the line just to get Dottore to notice him... i respect the energy tbh. I do wonder why he loved Dottore so much in the first place, i really think there's a lot more to his character than we've seen firsthand. I also went back and reread the other stuff you mentioned on the wiki and omg 😭😭 i cant believe i forgot this stuff happened, it's been so long since Sumeru 😭 it's so funny to think about how they're piling more crimes on themselves just for Dottore 😭 i wonder if he's aware of how favorable these agents view him?

Though I do think it may differ from segment to segment. Krupp was pretty scared of Webttore. It's also kind of funny to think people were more scared of Scaramouche than Dottore. 💀

You have me thinking many thoughts, and this has given me much brainrot, will keep in mind for future fics, i have been enlightened.

#smooches talks #dottore love notes <3 #this is fueling more dottore fanclub handbook content actually but them only praising you and dottore #“everything there is to know about our dear lord harbinger” I CAN SEE IT #they compliment things that shouldn't be complimented #this was a wonderful analysis thank u #also can i just say i love boattore #hes so cute yall

[project-sekai-facts]

Regarding your post about censorship: I'm like 90% sure most of this is not censorship (they left the entirety of buddy funny as it was. I refuse to believe "partner" is where they draw the line). I've played tons of Japanese video games in official English; the usual standard for translation is, in practice, that it shouldn't be obvious it wasn't originally written in English. Imo, this is the actual difference between "the miles i fell in love with is so cool!" (Not grammatically incorrect but not how actual people speak) and the official. As for it having romantic connotation to begin with, lol you said you got that from looking it up but Google the same thing in English and you will still get only romantic advice because it just assumes you're asking when the appropriate time to say I love you in a relationship is.... It could've been a joke, or a gay allegation, an anime way of speaking, or even nothing. How would you know which? I absolutely do not mean this in a rude way and I'm really sorry if it comes off like that but. I don't think you can comment on the connotations of words or level of casualness without speaking the language yourself.

Same with minoharu; it's (unfortunately) not canon. If she actually said "I love you!!" Regardless of dictionary definitions, it will be read as a romantic confession by most players, and you often say the game likes ambiguity so I take it that's a no. "I like you!" Is rather an awkward thing to yell in english, though. So "you're the best" is what they substitute.

(Please don't blame the translators for stuff this insignificant tbh. Some things in early game may sound clunky, but they've really smoothed out over time in terms of word choice sounding natural (...event names notwithstanding). I've done translations between my first language and English for fun; if you linger on every last word and it's connotations, you will go /insane/ reallyyy quickly. Imo no two words in different languages have the exact same meaning, connotation, use case etc. Ever. Differences of this level are utterly inevitable when games have so much text.)

Anyway. Thanks for all the effort you put into this blog, it's a fantastic one and it's not my intention to be harsh, if it comes off like that please just delete this ask. Don't feel bad about something some stranger on the internet said.

to be honest I don't think it's all censorship either, i just kinda went off on a tangent about things getting removed in translation and i did put in the post reasons why these translations actually are valid (aside from Toya woao because they did leave that one in the card name so it was a deliberate choice to remove it from the story, thereby also removing the reference in the card name). That Asahi post is old and I have done more research into it since, because my JP isn't good so I've gotta make up for it somehow, and literally every dictionary definition and anything I can find for that word frames it as romantic. For the extra mile I checked Japanese dictionaries for languages other than English. It is romantic. Even if he's just talking about the character and not Tsukasa, it is romantic and removing it was a deliberate choice. "The miles i fell in love with is so cool" might sound a bit rough, but it could have still been translated to keep the original context no problem. You could've just done something like "well of course it was cool. i fell in love with miles for a reason" or "it was so cool! as expected of the miles i love". the thing is with writing for a game like this is sometimes people need to say things that in real life you would probably just say in your head. the POV character for this event is Rui so we can't just take a look at the thoughts of the characters, which is why what they're feeling needs to be conveyed through text even if it sacrifices a bit of the realism. especially in a visual novel styled game like this because the characters are limited to a 2D model with limited movement and expression. if this was an anime you could probably get more leeway with what they say because you can convey the character's feelings through various other means (eg: the animated MVs that don't have any dialogue but could convey a story and emotion much better than looking at the in-game version of the scene with no dialogue). Don't worry I don't think you came off as rude and I know I shouldn't really talk about a language I don't speak but I hope the research can at least kind of make up for it.

Minoharu isn't canon I know but it's very obvious that what Minori feels for Haruka goes into romantic territory, whether you like the ship or not. And sure, if you put "I love you" most people would probably read it as romantic by default, but that hasn't stopped the translators before. "You're the best" honestly is a valid localisation that still conveys pretty much the same meaning I just find it odd that "I love you" is removed here, a flashback scene from a point in time where minori and haruka didn't know each other, but is translated with accuracy in multiple interactions between An and Kohane in present day. If Minori and Haruka don't know each other it's slightly less likely that people will interpret it as romantic and slightly more likely that people will interpret it as a simple idolisation but with An an Kohane actually knowing each other and having a close and affectionate relationship the go-to is probably gonna be romantic (which isn't necessarily wrong considering the events of BFST and Wishing for Your Happiness, but still sticks out that they left this in here but change it for another couple with heavy romantic subtext).

I'm not blaming this on the translators, they're just doing their job and obviously with localisation you've gotta lose stuff, it's just that some of these are very specific things to cut (eg: any indication of Asahi feeling romantically towards Tsukasa's character and ambiguously Tsukasa himself is completely absent in the official translation). I'm blaming this on the higher ups at sega who get the final say on what is and isn't included in the translation. You can't translate everything directly because languages don't all work exactly the same, especially english and japanese. obviously due to these differences, you're not going to be able to translate everything directly and localisation is necessary (regardless of language) to make it accessible and easy to read for an audience outside the country of origin. but there are gonna be questions raised when a scene is localised to keep the same nuance as the original text aside from one line that removes notable queer subtext. because if they can keep the rest of toya's speech in line with the original but they specifically remove the part about him wanting to stay side-by-side with akito forever and change it to wanting to perform side-by-side, despite the fact they left in the "now on and always" part in his card name, that was removed from the story intentionally. they kept what asahi says to tsukasa with the same meaning as well, but any indication of asahi feeling romantically towards the other is completely gone. the issue is that sega seems to be intentionally removing queer subtext from the game.

don't worry anon this wasn't harsh, and localisation is something that actually interests me and i've read into quite a bit, so i enjoy the opportunity to talk about it. and thank you as well!

Nimona found-family (including Blitzmeyer) camping headcanons

Dr. Blitzmeyer: I'm starting with her because I think she would have the most experience camping. She obviously has camped a lot; her house is covered in things from her travels, and she says that she went over the mountains before. She would have all the fancy gear that's expensive but it's a good investment for her because she gets a lot of use out of it. Is not overly prepared but has definitely made a list of everything she needs and has made sure it's all there. She would be the one supplying materials the others forget because she anticipated to bring extra. She's also the unofficial leader because she's the only one who knows what she's doing. Instructing them how to pitch the tents, how to start a fire, how to cook different meals over a fire that are actually really good, all that stuff. She knows the answer to everything both camping and wildlife related. The only weird part is she makes them take a bunch of precautions (read: rituals) against wood elves or other magical creatures that Ballister and Ambrosius are 90% sure don't work.

Nimona: She loves camping. She only started living indoors relatively recently in her life so being out in the wilderness is nothing new to her. The only reason why she doesn't have the most camping experience is because she wasn't really camping; there was no tent, no fire, no bug spray, etc. She's the only one who's repeatedly enthusiastic about Blitzmeyers twelve-mile dawn hikes and other planned activities lol She'll disappear for a few hours every afternoon and wander around the woods. She also shapeshifts a lot more than in the city; it just feels more natural to have an animal form in the woods. That being said, she will show up to dinner and be like "I already ate. I had a deer" and they're like "??????????" She's generally a lot happier and more relaxed

Ballister: He strikes me as the one that's way overprepared. His bag weighs forty pounds and he can't find the stuff he actually needs in all the other useless crap. Eventually, he usually gives up and asks Blitzmeyer for it. He has never been camping before and doesn't really see the appeal in it. Why would you voluntarily live in a tent when you have a perfectly good house? It's not fun or relaxing, it's stressful; you're exposed to the elements, you might run out of food, you're more vulnerable if someone attacks/robs you, etc. It's very much left over from his days on the streets. He appreciates the nature and has a good time during the day but once the sun sets, he's like "Ok, let's go home." The first day or two would be ok but after that he would be stressed out of his mind and begging to go home.

Ambrosius: He has also never been camping. Because why would you voluntarily live in a tent when you have a perfectly good house (read: mansion)? He would probably have asked to go a few times when he was a kid but was told no and now is super excited it's finally happening. He would want to help with everything but has no idea what he's doing (much to Blitzmeyer's frusteration). If Bal's the one who overpacks, he's the one who underpacks. They set everything up and he just stares at his stuff like "...I forgot a pillow. It didn't occur to me that there wouldn't be pillows here." Then he either has to borrow one from Blitzmeyer or drive a couple hours to the nearest store lol He forgets soap, food, a flashlight, bug spray, and basically everything else that isn’t a sleeping bag and clothes. He has a really great time for a few days but starts to get grumpy the longer it goes on. Once they do get back, he instantly gets in his bed and isolates himself for a day, scrolling on his phone. He enjoys camping but he enjoys his house more lol

#blitzmeyer and nimona are the type of ppl to relax while camping #bal and ambs are the type of ppl to say ‘we’re going to the store and if we don’t come back that means we decided to live in there instead’ #guess which one my family is lol #we’re ambrosius #we always forget everything and have to borrow it #and we spent three hours sitting in Walmart even tho we only needed one thing bc they had AC no mosquitoes and wifi #we are not camping ppl AT ALL lol #nimona #nimona headcanon #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #meredith blitzmeyer #dr blitzmeyer

[thelastbraincellofthehive]

Ok so... I haven't watched anything RWBY since last finale because I was fucking mourning and still kinda am... But anyways, now that Volume9 Is coming and I feel I little more calm and not wanting to kill absolutely everyone for taking my beautiful daughter AGAIN I decided to rewatch the series 'cuz nostalgia

I just finished Volume 1, here are my thoughts:

Omg the black models for the extras 😂😂😂 I fuckin'forgot about the shadow people!!! I love them!

Also I'm so very proud of how the animation has grown <3 Volume 8 animation is*chef's kiss*

Also, Miles and Kerry have grown up so much as writers!! Like, I adore the dumb jokes and references on these early volumes, but to think where the story heads after!!! OMG it's so awesome!!!

Now going for more specific stuff pardon my rambling and lack of order

Hearing Salem's voice in the intro hits so different after everything we've been through, I love it!

I'm 1000% sure that Ozpin knew from the start that Jaune was lying on his entrance papers, just like he knew who Blake was from the start.

Nora in Players and Pieces is just:

We stan Nora so hard it hurts<3 best girl.

Also that fucking nevermore fight still takes my break away after watching it more than 30 times! Not many things can say that!

Weiss grows so much across the seasons and I'm so proud of her <3 it's so amazing to see her in this volume knowing what she'll become #you'redoingamazingsweetie #that'smygirl

Blake, darling, there was absolutely no reason for you to crouch down behind Yang in Forever Fall, aside from wanting to watch her ass, your bisexuality is showing honey. #Proud

Also speaking of Yang, it's so weird to see her without her robotic arm again????? Can I just said that as much as I love every version of Yang, volume 5+ is her best version in every way

The fuckin' bunkbeds were and still are a hazard lol I love them though.

Roman, my beloved</3 I've missed you so much king, I wish you could be able to reunite with your girl. She also misses you so much.

That said, I'm sorry my boy, but I know if I had the power to bring back any character who has died in the series... It would always be Pyrrha. I understand why, but it doesn't mean she didn't deserved so much better.

Anyways back to the fun stuff (and there's a lot) Ozpin throwing kids off the cliff will never not be iconic lol.

Just like Weiss and Ruby riding the nevermore, my favorite moment of them as a pair in this season

Honestly the initiation arc is my favorite in this season Is just so awesome lol.

I don't understand how Cardin Winchester got into beacon... Like, he's not even a good fighter nor a good student... How???

I still can't believe that The FNDM latched onto Velvet so hard they gave her a full team of badasses and two spin off books. Fucking great it's what she deserves. Now make her and Coco a couple.

It's been so long since I last watched this volume that I didn't remember Penny and Sun were introduced in the same episode lol honestly Iconic. We got the DemiAce trans girl AND the raging bisexual monkey boy in less than five minutes. Trully a win for representation. We stan.

Also the whole 'penny was wearing a backpack but the animation didn't looked like it' thing it's so funny to me, because next season we 'learn' that She's a robot/android and my thoughts are always "why is it a surprise Ruby you saw her back open up and swords coming out of It?!" Lol.

Red like roses pt 2 and I may fall are still my favorite songs from this soundtrack. They're so freaking epic!!!

Speaking of songs, I can't watch the series without remembering that AU/Headcanon thing that since Casey does Weiss' singing voice all the songs can be seeing as things that Weiss wrote in-universe about her partners and yrabels lol like it's so fucking funny to thing about it that way lol. Did she saw team CFVY being badass and was like 'damn these 4 deserve a fuckin' hard rock anthem to go into battle!'? Did she saw Yang and Blake being useless at confesing their feelings and thought 'I'm gonna write them a song that's so gay they're gonna figure their shit out'? It's just so funny to me lol

Honestly, I really like Cinder as an antagonist... Like really, really like her lol I get why people is tired of her, but I enjoy her moments so much??? Cant wait for more Cinder un Vol2

Also, Ruby my girl, I'm so sorry for everything that's gonna happen </3 I wish I could protect you from the world but I also love seeing you suffer, I'm terrible

So yeah those are my thoughts, fuck how I've missed RWBY, I gotta continue my rewatch now 😋

#rwby #just salem rambling around #pre-volume9 rewatch #rwby vol 1 #long post #textpost

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

Okay, I actually really love a mountain lion for Cyllene?? Bc you're absolutely right on all accounts. Which would make her friendship with Laventon if he was a bunny even more hilarious since mountain lions eat rabbits far more regularly than lions or tigers do. And speaking of hilarious, if we make Laventon a rabbit, that makes two of the tallest characters in the game, both with a similarly hunched posture and often frowning, lagomorphs. Jumbo size rabbits. Wait, would he be a wild rabbit like a cottontail or would he be a domestic one? Asking because lop ears would make his hat easier to wear. And also because I can't decide if it'd be better for him and Ingo to look similar from a distance only to get a "wait, no, what?" reaction from Galaxy folks once they get close enough to see that Ingo is Not a rabbit, or not.

And the worst part is that Ingo doesn't even know why he feels that way. The lack of memories means that he doesn't know why he always feels like something is wrong and he's unsafe or what he could do to make it better. It probably actually gets worse once he becomes a warden and the only safe people around for miles are Melli, Electrode, Sneasler, and maybe some of the Galaxy Team. It might have him sticking very close to Sneasler, at least until he becomes a bit more acclimated to being even more isolated, because he's just so used to using the Buddy System he tries to do it automatically. Does he like his job? Yes. It's it hell on his instincts? Also yes.

Ohhh, okay, that does make sense. So like in this case he'd just be on edge pretty much always, but he doesn't quite compute it so he doesn't really react accordingly until seemingly randomly he'll Panic? His body is going through the stress of being constantly afraid because his brain is throwing out danger signals, but at the same time it's not really registering until it reaches a breaking point he didn't see coming.

The issue there is that his ears are so damn big. Even if he lays them back they just stick out behind him rather than being able to be stuffed down his coat or something. He'd have to like, constantly be wearing the hood on his tunic whenever he's in the Icelands, and it'd probably have to be modified to be extra insulating. Maybe that's part of why they made him a warden. Like they didn't want to just get rid of him, they adopted him and he's theirs now, but like with the reptiles he's just really not suited to the cold and keeping him there is dangerous. Added to him being great with pokemon and Sneasler needing a warden, Irida made it a win-win situation. Not that the highlands are always great in terms of that because of the altitude, but it's leagues better than the Icelands. He looks really dumb with his hood up and hat on and he doesn't like how it folds his ears, but if he loses even more of his ears to frostbite Irida might have to hunt him for sport.

Lmao, okay I can dig Adaman as a frilled lizard. I feel like he'd try really hard not to ever use his frills, and normally he's chill enough never to even want to, but I do like imagining him and Melli being introduced and at some point something prompts him to flare them to which Melli is like, "ah, you're a man of culture, I see. I have decided that we're friends now. Be grateful."

(It's a good thing that the Pearl Clan is all about the worship of the space/land their god has given them so that even if members can't often come back for safety reasons it probably wouldn't feel like as much of a punishment as it might to the Diamond Clan or Galaxy Team. And I know canon doesn't really support it, but I feel like they'd be the ones most likely to travel around so anyone effectively exiled would still be part of their community to some extent when people met up with them.)

How about a goat? You can still shear them like a sheep, but they're a bit more aggressive and independent, and Cabala is rather ornery lol. For Palina I was thinking a sea or northern river otter. With her noble living on an island, I feel like she should be something that can swim as well as live in the cold, and iirc she's supposed to be reminiscent of those drivers who collect pearls in Japan, which sounds ottery to me. Gaeric could be like, a moose or Polar bear or something. For Sabi I was toying with her possibly being a snowy owl, but it'd also be pretty cute if she was a flightless bird that got to fly on her noble (not that any of the other bird anthros can fly I think, unless they want to flap around looking like archeops in more than just their hands, but still.)

i was thinking domestic lop too, actually! for a bonus, the english lop is thought to be one of the oldest domestic rabbit breeds which fits with laventon being from galar. they also have ears long enough to rival a jackrabbit's lol they just go the complete other direction. and cyllene is just so confused but for some reason continues going along with it. dammit he duped her into being friends, how dare he. (would laventon, being a rabbit himself, be one of the most weirded out by ingo's I Guess That Looks Like A Rabbit But What The Fuck-ness? like sort of an uncanny valley? or would he just be like "hello fellow lagomorph!" and think nothing more of it. and it's more the rest of the survey corps that looks between the two of them with increasing confusion)

and the unfortunate thing is, i bet ingo actually outpaces sneasler (who is not really that fast) on flat ground, so if he abruptly decides to take off in a panic she literally can't keep up with him. usually it's not so bad that he isn't still able to make decisions even if he is panicking, and instinct will usually prioritize buddy system, but sometimes something else spooks him or all it registers is that she's a big predator and decides to make him fucking book it away from her. and then her warden's just like, Gone, and also he's clearly not thinking straight and needs help but she can't help him if he runs off and disappears into the hills, ingo get back here dammit-

and obviously that kind of constant stress, on the verge of physical panic even if he isn't actively, is. rrreally not good for you. the uncanniness of seeing a jackrabbit when you're used to arctic/snowshoe hares and rabbits is probably not helped by the fact that even for a jackrabbit he legitimately is way too thin and wide-eyed and constantly tense and breathes too hard and too fast. again that's maybe not something he notices consciously, because he's so checked-out, but it is something other people might pick up on if they see him often enough.

and then, if his clothes are so focused on insulation and he's lost a lot of his heat-dish ears, he's probably pretty prone to overheating when that comes up. if he goes towards the mirelands/coastlands he just like, Can't thermoregulate that well. irida was right, the highlands really are the best place for him. love the thought that the pearl clan worships space so members living far away isn't necessarily viewed as a punishment, i think that's really cute and makes sense.

lol, i feel like adaman will probably flare them a little bit at irida when they're sniping at each other, but that's basically just their version of exchanging pleasantries so it's not really more than a little lift, the only time the protagonist ever sees him full-on display is when melli breaks into his meeting with kamado and he's like WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION YOU INTERRUPTING CHICKEN. melli, naturally, does not care. (would there be some communication confusion over the fact that frilled lizards use their frills for threat displays but peacocks use their feathers for courtship? or is that just a running joke in their friend group. or does melli actually have the entirely learned habit of doing angry displays that he picked up from adaman, lol)

oh yeah calaba as a goat could work! and gaeric as a polar bear for sure. palina as an otter would also make sense... and then that adds layers to her losing her lord to the ocean, ouch. but then i feel like iscan would also work really well as an otter, hmm... maybe one of them is a river otter and the other one is a sea otter? not sure. or maybe one of them's some kind of seal hmmm.

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Separation episode 2 review

That beginning meeting among Sternritters gave me major flashbacks of Aizen and his meeting with his Espada. Was that intentional? More than likely yes, because of nostalgia reasons and for us to see nothing has really changed; "villains" still making plans how to defeat "heroes". Though, there was one tiny difference and that was the lack of tea. Oh yeah. Something about villains sipping tea when having their villain meeting gives such a sophisticated feeling, (even if they all wouldn't be that sophisticated) yet now...it's all business. After all, the Quincies are here to bring "peace"! I really liked how they made the camera angle move when they showed the meeting among all Sternritters and the top of the table surface was this episode's name. It felt very smooth and seriously gave that villainous meeting vibe.

This episode made me think something, and I'm not sure if it was really ever addressed in the manga, but how long does Quincies live? I know Yhwach is like a special case, but the way Askin talked and all the other implications before that...make it sound like Quincies too can live 100-plus years and still remain in their youthful appearances. Does this mean if they live in the World of the Living, only then they'll age normally like humans do? But as long as they're at Soul Society where is Reishi, it's a different story? Because if we think about the last cour, at least to me it seemed like Ryuuken aged normally. So did Masaki and because they were considered 'elite' Quincies, we can assume they weren't run-out-of-mill ones...so, does the location matter when comes to aging? Or, the fact if Quincies are Sternritters or not? Because we've only seen so far mostly Sternritters' POV of things, it could be they're a special case, but even so...I couldn't help but think that especially when they talked about Quincy King's rising and the time it would take.

And sunflower Mayuri makes an appearance! He really looked ridiculous, but still very loyal to his style: ridiculous but in such a way it was also a smart move. I'm not sure what kind of texture or animation technique the staff used, but the fact Mayuri's (and Nemu's) outfit seemed to be 'alive' was a very neat trick. They could have just gone with yellow and white colors that glow a little bit, but nope! They went over that little extra mile to give Mayuri's and Nemu's outfits that specialty that one would expect and wait for from Mayuri.

But man...working in a place like his lab at the moment, would be one form of torture as it seemed just so...bright. Must be nice, when one doesn't have migraine issues, eh?

Heh, Askin being all '-ck this sh*t, I'm out' toward Mayuri, when he at first measured how much effort it would take to take down Mayuri. xD And then Mayuri slaying back. Talk about two smart people going all 'too much effort' versus 'needs more time to craft such a plan I can crush you fully'. Though, that last look Mayuri gave to Askin...oh boy. He seriously wanted to crush Askin, like the lil' bug he was in his eyes.

Never understood why Toshiro had that cloth wrapped around his head, because earlier he didn't have. It just...ditto. Made me think of Rambo or some sort of other action movie where the "hero" has a bandana around their head...but Toshiro is supposed to be that cool guy, so heat shouldn't be a problem with him, so why? Though considering his opponent is Bazz-B, heat will be soon a problem for him...and yes, I can see the irony, that was before the heat problem, lol.

I must say, I really liked how Rangiku and Toshiro worked together against Bazz-B! I had missed such synergy, and especially Rangiku teasing Toshiro! Rangiku's explanation was a bit over the top, but it was still super cute! Especially when Toshiro clearly resisted his urge to roll his eyes while Bazz-B was just staring in there, probably thinking 'lots of words, I don't get anything!' Lol. But yeah. That was a super cute moment between Toshiro and Rangiku and reminded just how good a captain and lieutenant combo they make~. Unfortunately...it just wasn't enough this time around, despite their brave attempt to go against Bazz-B.

As a side note, I must admit I still find it pretty ridiculous how people explain in the battle against their opponent the 'trick' they're using...that's just begging trouble against them.

That moment with Omaeda and his sister was very touching. Despite the fact, Omaeda has been...well, not my favorite character (and probably either not many other people's), that moment was still touching. A bit of cliché hero talk, but at times those are needed, eh? Especially if a little girl is scared and crying.

Luckily Soi Fon came to the rescue, because while Omaeda's attempt was...well, okay, it wasn't enough. Not to mention, I just loved how Soi Fon acted all badass when she showcased her shunko! And yes, while that wasn't (at least yet) enough, I still liked how Soi Fon ride on her thrill over the fact she had managed to master her own shunko.

What caught my attention was how Soi Fon called BG9 in the subtitles 'freak', while in actuality she called him 'bakemono'. It was a small thing, but because of that, the meaning got a bit changed. While "freak" would have suited BG9, because of what he did earlier to Soi Fon in cour 1, I think 'bakemono' was a bit more suited as it can be translated as a monster, and in a sense, BG9 is exactly that. (Because he is basically a walking weapon, a robot, an entity that shinigami probably hasn't seen ever before.) Even so, despite the light tone difference, both are okay when thinking about the context. But even so...with my limited Japanese knowledge, it just caught my attention. ^^'

And once again, Urahara to rescue! Good thing Mayuri didn't cut him off right away when he heard his voice, since Gotei 13 is in a dire situation and will need all the help they can get.

Hmm, that ending with Ichigo walking toward the torii gate was interesting. I had to google a bit to find out what "irazusando" at the end meant, but I wasn't disappointed when I did!

I found a person on Reddit explaining it like this:

"It means "no entry Sandō".

A Sandō is a path/road leading to the entrance of a Shinto shrine, with a torii (the wooden gate Ichigo is walking towards) marking the origin of the path."

Very interesting. I can't wait to see how Ichigo will make his way to the torii or if will he meet more struggles when going toward it, as why else he would have that wooden sword with him? (I'm just waiting for a jumpscare in here...)

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: (ok i know i said that i want it to be realistic but... can i have an ancient egyptian artifact? like one of the millennium items to force you to respect the contract?

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): (Go ahead!)

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i take out from my bag the contract you signed, on the bottom of it theres a sign on the golden wax with a pyramid* by the power of the millennium contranct i bind you to obey any order i give you from now on! your mind will bend to my will just like the wax of the seal bended to the flame i've melted it with!

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *a ankh symbol appears on Rio's head, making her strain to an unknown force* No way...my body...it feels like it's on fire! What did you do to me?!

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: i made a cute little doll out of you, don't worry though, i want you to be yourself, the hole time, i wont rewrite you, that would be no fun at all Rio-chan *winks* i want you to be you, i want you to be there with me the whole time as i'll use your body as a glorified sex toy

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: and mostly... i want to break you, i want you to confess that you're enjoying it just as much as me...

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): S-sex toy? *shivers in fear* You're out of your mind...I'm not gonna let my first time be with you! I'm not even into girls...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: you're now, in fact, you just can't help yourself, you forced yourself to think otherwise for so many years that you've forgot that you liked girls that much but.. being with me for more than one second makes impossible for you to not think about my nude body, my abs, my small but pery boobs and moslty my firm ass...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: i bet your mouth is watering up now and you jsut can't controll it

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *blushes, crossing her legs together as she heats up, getting wet* Stop it...I don't want you, Hana! *her breathing picks up as she averts her eyes, images of a nude Hana flashing in her mind*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: see what i meant? complete controll... isnt that fun? you'll still be you just... not the same version of you *winks* once the lessons are over, you'll gather your stuff, call mom and beg her to let you go to a lieep over with your best friend for this coming weekend, then, once she'll say yes, you'll quietly wait for me at the entrance and follow me without saying a word, i don't want them to see us together *i get closer to you* you're such a loser nerd after all, i need you step up to my level a lil bit before that *winks* but don't worry about it, we'll have plenty of time this weekend... here *i hand you your deck back* burn it will ya? you know you wont be needing it any more... *i get up and leave you there wondering about my nude body as i change my toom to attend the upcoming lesson waiting for the end of the day

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): I won't...how could you...I would never...! *Rio's hand shakes as she holds the deck; a few minutes later, she throws it in the school furnace, sobbing as she does so; after school. she calls her mom, gets permission to stay over a friend's for the weekend and then waits at the entrance for Hana, looking downcast*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i arrive 15 minutes late, just for the hell of it of course, i knew you would have been there anyways, as i pass you i don't even look at you but once i'm in my limousine (cuz yes if i'm going to be a bully i'm going to be Kaiba rich too) i leave my door open for you*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *reluctantly gets in, trying to remain calm despite her combination of despair and heavy arousal* ...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: aww don't give me that look, you've dived head first into the furnace... just like your deck, without caring about checking that contract, you won't blame me for that, right? plus, and trust i'm being honest to god this time, i'm a god master, you should know me better before judging me *i give you a smug grin* where are your panties anyways?

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): I'm wearing them, of course! Why do you think I'm such a pervert?! *crosses her legs defensively*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: oh really? show me *smirks*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *cringes, then slowly spreads her legs and lifts her skirt...her panties are soaked from her rubbing herself to Hana all day; apparently, she's still wet*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: looks like you wnet to a pool party *chuckles* without me? *pout* i feel like you should take them off, they're useless atm...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: want me to give you some relif Rio-chan?

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): N-n...*the symbol on her head shines as she begins to take off her panties in front of Hana* Yes, please...Hana, I need your body...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: cum then, cum the hardest you've ever came, squirt if you can do that, you asked for relif? Hana grants your wishes and from now on everytime you'll think anything positive about me you'll be immediately rewarded with a nice orgasm

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): Huh? You won't even touch--- *shudders as she rears her head back, spraying cum all over the back seat while screaming; when she finishes, she pants in exhaustion*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i gently kiss your soft pating lips* there you go baby

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: see? not all bad huh?

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: this aint nothing but a lil appetizer compared to what you'll do this weekend with me... i want you to cum more and more and more untill you break, untill you get utterly fucked up

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: i want to make you cum untill you get stupid

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *kisses once again* but, everything at it's own apce

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *entranced* Hana... *shakes her head* That...impossible! I've never even done that before! You won't break me...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i wisper into your ear* i've already did

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *my limousie parks outside my mansion and i get off the car leaving you there to catch a breath* i'll be in my bath when you're done panting *chuckles* don't worry for the mess, i'll get someone to clean your cum from my leather seats *chuckles*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: oh... almost forgot, leave your panties there, i'm guessing the guy that will have to clean that mess would want to see them what kind of stupid panties you were wearing *chuckles* i never thought they made panties with lil sharks on them

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: at least they'll know they're not mine

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *still panting* I won't lose...not to you, not like this! *catches her breath, then follows inside while leaving behind her panties, looking for the bathroom*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *as you finally meet me in my bathroom you find me taking a bath in a huge circular tub full with foam and bubbles* took you some time huh? my bad, i should have told you which bathroom was huh? why don't you join me? you'll feel better

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *begins to strip* This isn't beating me...this is all the contract! *now naked, she slowly dips into the tub, instinctively moving towards Hana before managing to stop herself*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i fill the gap you left hugging you and giving you another soft kiss on your lips* see? thats why i've picked you among anyone else, you're fun, anyone else, lesbian bi or straight would have killed to be chosen by me

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: not you though

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: too bad theres nothing i can't have

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: one way or another...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i lift you grabbing your hips and making you sit on the tub's edge as i get closer to your pussy with my mouth*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: let's play a lil game *you're not allowed to leave but you can speak freely, yell shout scream what ever you want, if i make you moan, you lose, deal?

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *feels her chest tighten as she feels Hana's lips on hers, and finds herself submitting to her entirely as her legs are spread* You may have my body, even my mind...but you will never have my spirit. You hear me? My soul is mine! I accept your dirty challenge...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: you soul? *i look confused and surprise* who do you took me for? *chuckles* i don't want to send you to "the shadow realm" i want you to... have fun and enjoy...

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: as i said you're allowed to do anything you want now, hell, i'll go as far as removing any form of controll i have on you, you're just not allowed to levae the room, stand up, closding your legs or anything that could prevent me to lick your pussy

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: if you moan its beacuse YOU wanted it

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i get closer, my breathing tickling your sensitive pussy before my mouth starts licking your clit gently*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *sarcastically* Such a nice Mistress...do your worst. I won't--- *shivers as she feels her breath, having to bite her lip as she feels Hana's tongue against her clit*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i suck on it, savoring it slowly and gently then i move to your hole pushing my tongue in without saying a word*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *clenches her teeth, fighting off a moan as she cums right on Hana's tongue*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i mutter something that sounds like "yummy" as i keep going deeper and deeper placing a hand on your tummy and gently pushing you backword so that you'd lay down on the floor instead of sitting giving me access to both your holes*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): D-don't...you can't be serious...that's the wrong hole...! *covers her mouth as she feels her strength sapping away*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i grab your thin ankles raising them up as i lick the part in between your holes to tease you* you said something? *i give a lil kiss* whats wrong Rio-chan? *i start to give you a rimjob making the tip of my tongue go in cicles around your tight butthole utile i start to tease the hole itself*

ZEXAL): Damn it, why you? *grimaces before planting her nose against her chest, inhaling her scent* Of all the people to make me fall for them, it had to be you? *kisses her chest before taking a nipple into her mouth, swirling her tongue on it; reaches down her back to grope her ass*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *chuckles* who else after all? nobody else was good enough

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: we both knew that

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: you knew you wanted me cuz you knew you wanted a godess and not just a girl

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: am i right?

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): I wanted a monster...something scary to devour me...*trails kisses down her stomach and spreads her legs* I suppose I've always wanted to be destroyed by an unstoppable force. *begins to drag her tongue through her folds*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: you know what they say about scary monsters... you always need to feed them, not just their appetite but their ego too, they need to be feared and iin some cases... worshipped

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i push you back gently but firmly placing my foot on your shoulder* start from that then

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: worship your monster before she can devour you

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): Your body... *glares as she kisses her foot*...I hate how perfect it is. Built for speed and power...your muscles, your wiry limbs, your perfect ass...I always despised how someone with such a horrible personality could have such a gorgeous form. *licks up her sole*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: if my personality was that horrible your's be drinking my pee thinking it's champagne, you'd be a slave like many others before you were, you're better though you deserved better and i will give you more... *bite my lower lip as you start licking my sole*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: now i just want you to prove me i wasnt wrong about you

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): I don't care what you think about me...but...I will have you. *moves in a bit too fast, grabbing Hana and turning her around, jutting her ass out* I can't believe...I never tried this with you before the contract...I've always wanted to do it to you every time you've turned your back on me...! *spreads her cheeks and laps at her rim*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *moans* always wanted to eat my ass? *chuchles moaning*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): Yes...it's your best quality. *pushes her tongue in as she reaches under her to rub Hana's pussy*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *opens my hole making it gape slightly* lick it then lick the rims from the inside

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *digs her tongue inside her, swirling it ravenously; pushes two of her fingers inside Hana and begins to dart them in and out*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: mmmh so savage... *shit my asshole close trapping your tongue, then i simply start twerking slapping your face with my firm cheeks as you're trapped there*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: shut*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *moans as she's hit with the cheeks in her face, her fingers continuing to stir inside of her*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i give you a stronger cheek slap stunning you for a moment, a moment i use to pull you out the tub forcing you to lay on the floor as i sit on your face* hows that? *as i sit there i rib your hairless pussy grabbing your ankles once again keeping them spearded*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *her already wet pussy pulses before cumming on her fingers, Rio continues to swirl her tongue in Hana's ass as her toes curl*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *as i notice that i shove them in my mouth sucking on the one by one and playfully slapping your pussy*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: you're going to to get all puffy... *chuckles as i keep slapping her*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *her pussy drips cum on the floor as Rio groans, still hopelessly eating Hana's ass*

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: *i moan louder pointing my feet on the floor to raise my butt and squirting all over your body then i simply move away back in the tub panting moaning and mostly exausted*

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): *tired, exhausted and weak, Rio moves into the water and throws her body on Hana's* You're mine, Hana...you were always worth more than some stupid deck. I can get more cards anyway but now...I finally caught you.

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: i guess so... *pants* but... how crazy would it be if it turns out that it's jsut what you think? *i smirk as the ankh symbol glows on your forehead once again* THE END

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: lol sorry if you didnt wanted it to end it here but it was too good of a cliffhanger

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): (Nah, it's fine. Thanks for the great RP!)

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: same! have a good night!

your average highschool Lesbian Bully: <3

Merag (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL): (Good night!)

even the world tour is messy! like It’s supposed to start next month but is there even a list of locations yet??? all i have seen are “they may go there.” plus tickets….plus idk this is supposed to be in advance thing but there is no information! if there is, no one knows anything and it’s minimal.which lol. goes back to boc.

literally everything goes back to boc and extension….those authors (why are they still here. i did not forget one of them being at the first tour location)

See! I wasn't even paying attention to the tour shenanigans because I had no intentions of putting money in the pockets of that company anyway. You figure these things out BEFORE you execute them. Where's the organization? Where's the planning? Most tours are announced with a full schedule and list of dates and cities and countries. Most of the time, the schedule has already been decided. Sometimes, they may add an extra date or two after the fact depending on how much demand there is for a particular city.

Typically (with tours), an artist doesn't wait that long between dates unless something happens that causes them to pause it. With most artists and in the time span since their last tour date, an artist may have completed anywhere from 15 to 20 concerts (possibly more) in that time span. I feel like this company has lofty dreams and goals, but they don't know how to execute them. It's cute to be a dreamer but you still need to be smacked back into reality too. I understand the first two dates may have been to determine demand and interest, but that doesn't explain why they don't have any tangible plans in place for other locations. I hope it's not because they haven't finished scouting out venues and determining cities/countries because that would be bad. Again, these are all things you do before you set aside money for a "world tour." It's a world tour - you should be prepared to tour the world. Honestly, they're going to go defunct due to their sheer incompetence alone.

No shade to anyone's faves, but I highly doubt it's because they can't get everyone's schedules to sync up because Mile, Apo, and Bible are the only ones with any upcoming events. No one else from the cast has any upcoming events from what I can tell. That's not shade either; it's just the truth.

I Googled it just to make sure I knew what I was talking about, anon, and the last time anyone mentioned anything was back in July. But even then, it wasn't anything new. It was the same old tweet that mentioned a handful of Asian countries (without dates) and possibly going to other continents. That's all I saw, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Hey! Could i request the dorm leaders with an esper MC? Kinda like Mob psycho or Saiki k :) and maybe they don't really use this ability of theirs that much since in their world they're literally a teen who's trying to live a normal life(like Mob basically), so nobody knew about their psychic powers except Grim since the mirror said that he couldnt sense any magic in them(i'm pretty sure that psychic powers don't really count as magic but idk lol).

Feel free to ignore if you don't wanna write it! :)

 A/N: Ooh this was a fun one! I haven't watched Mob Psycho (I know about that fine ass blonde man-) but I have watched Saiki k and I loved it, still need to finish it tho jlafljhdas 

Characters: Kalim Al-Asim, Riddle Rosehearts, Leona Kingscholar, Vil Schoenheit, Azul Ashengrotto, Idia Shroud, Malleus Draconia

P.S: I’m so sorry this is so long omg but I guess this is a strong comeback-

Warnings: none except for language

Riddle:

-You wanted to stay as far away as possible from him

-Riddle was part of the trio of people you wanted to stay away from: Riddle, Vil, and Azul

-Riddle paid so much attention to fine details that if something was up, he'd definitely notice it

-But unfortunately you were best friends with the two goobers of Heartslabyul: Ace and Deuce

-And Riddle had started to pay attention to you and your habits, and something was off with you

-It's almost as though you tried too hard to be normal, like Jamil

-And he could never let something like that happen again, so yes he was watching you

-One day you accidently slipped up and was irresponsible with your powers

-Grim was bothering you since he got into a deal with Azul for tuna and they were standing outside with the twins, since Grim lost

-You told him to fend for himself and teleported, however you didn’t plan where you would go

-And you teleported into the Heartslabyul dorm

-What sucks is that your teleportation power was literally flashy with a bright ass green light every time you popped in somewhere

-Just when you thought you were lucky since the whole dorm was uninhabited...except for Riddle who watched the whole thing

-He was completely shocked, he didn’t know what to say other than “What did you just do?!” 

-You explained to him, and that just pieced everything together

-How you solved overblots with such ease, and that one day you had a “strength potion to test for Azul” was such bs!

-Riddle ends up keeping your secret, since he values your privacy but if you do something major and mess up then he will tell!

-”I understand but please be more careful with your powers. I need to institute discipline and you are no exception, Y/N.”

-He really does care about you and doesn’t want you to be found out 

-Goes the extra mile to cover for you often, and in exchange you help him out with things :)

Leona:

-He didn't really care about you at first but as you started to hang Jack and Ruggie, Leona started to get more suspicious

-Your scent had proven that you had some trace of magic, but Leona just couldn't put his finger on it

-So he sent Ruggie after you for a couple of days

-If you were a threat to Savanaclaw, Leona would crush you

-But Ruggie had only reported back that everything with you was perfectly normal

-"Just give it up Leona, they're just an ordinary human. The scent is probably weird because they're from a completely different world."

-But Leona still had that feeling, so he was keeping an eye on you

-You had made a deal with Crowley to keep your powers secret to solve problems on campus (it did cut repair costs and handymen costs in half so-)

-Your new quest was to rid the forest of the Angolo fungus that was manifesting into living fungus blobs 

-The one thing that gave you away was Grim, as you both had to stop by the Greenhouse to read some info about the fungus

-The cat beast was being far too loud, not understanding why he had to go and mess around with the icky fungus

-You simply replied “It’ll be quick, I’ll just use Hydrokinesis and dry out the fungus since they’re mainly filled with water. They become fertilizer once dried so we can just leave them there.”

-And there Leona was, ears perked up once he heard your voice

-Hydrokinesis? What are you talking about?

-So he set off, following you to the forest

-You started to fly, turning the once green and lively fungus to brown dust while Grim napped against a tree

-Leona for the first time in the while, was left speechless

-Once you noticed him, you realized you had to talk to him

-Confronting him later on, luckily Leona didn’t spill to anyone 

-He promised to never tell anyone about what he saw, and had no clapbacks for what you had to say 

- Leona doesn’t even benefit from this secret...besides mayyybee one day asking for your help if his pride lets him

-By the Great Seven why does everything have to not be in his favor-

Azul:

-Another one who you have got to be careful around, since he’s incredibly observant

-More observant than Riddle

-Azul noticed that you’re an incredibly average person, and were incredibly relaxed even during the most stressful situations

-And almost every single time whenever you were in a tight spot, it works in your favor

-Just how is that possible? Solving overblots left and right? Every single time you disappeared the infestation of magical beasts are gone? 

-One day, you were getting picked on by a three guys, their stature far above yours and incredibly strong. How could you possibly win?

-Just as he was about to scoop in a save you, you slammed one of the men into the concrete, taking on the other two by electrocuting them, the blue lightning buzzing in your palms

-They were completely knocked out, dusting off your palms and picking up your things only to face Azul’s eyes

-After giving an explanation of what that was, he was still speechless

-Azul at first was incredibly shocked and then since Azul is Azul... later on realized this had benefits

-He could just blackmail you to be his new bodyguard!

-Oh how he always manages to bend life to his will-!

-So you could just wipe his memory... or turn him into stone...nvm

-You’re now Azul’s arch nemesis since you end up saving people from his scamming and you’re basically untouchable and there’s nothing he can do about it

-But he does find your great strength admirable (and a lil hot, I mean what can u say seeing someone floating in the air with electricity flowing through them is a nice look okay Nate shut up)

Kalim: 

-Oh Kalim my beloved

-He just thinks that you’re incredibly talented and a little mysterious

-You have your little quirks and he has his! Who is he to judge?

-Until one day you wanted to make the load lighter on Jamil, since the berries that Kalim had requested for were only in season in one country

-You decided to just teleport and then come back with the berries so Kalim wouldn’t be pouty 

-You were outside the door ready to teleport when last minute you felt a hand on your shoulder

- “Oh Y/N you forgot-!”

-And there both you and Kalim were, in a berry field thousands of miles away from the Scarabia dorm

-Kalim screams, falling to the lush green of the field

-What happened?! Where are we?! How did you do that?!

-You quickly gathered all the berries at light speed, making sure that you got back before Jamil realized that you were gone

-Kalim wasn’t scared of you, rather impressed that you were able to keep a secret for that long, he could never!

-You’re already super cool, and on top of this you have otherwordly powers!

- “It must’ve been stressful living your life like this! But don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret!”

-Yes he sometimes asks you to perform some of your powers for him, sorry Y/N-

Vil:

-While you were his friend, he was incredibly suspicious of you

-Even though you wiped everyone’s memory, he still had the faint memory of when he was in overblot mode of you blasting him with a beam of light

-Vil was incredibly upset as one of his assistants had mixed up his items, and left one of his vital skincare items on the set of where they were filming a new commercial

-It was being shipped and would take 3 days to reach NRC

-His mood was horrible and you had to do something about it to give grace to the Pomefiore dorm

-So you went to the second story of the Pomefiore dorm, ready to use Apport (the power to pull anything before you) 

-However, Vil felt incredibly guilty

-He was acting like a child and he shouldn’t have taken it out on the people who he loves and values

- “Y/N, how I was acting was incredibly inappropriate and- is that my moisturizer? How did you get it?”

-Starts freaking out as this was impossible as it was on it’s way from being shipped from another country

-This was the last straw for him ther was no justification for this that wasn't done by some form of magic

-He takes you to his room to make you sit down and give him an explanation for this

-Once you finished, Vil understood but was still freaked out

-He cares alot about keeping your powers a secret and will cover for you

-"So my aport powers need to exchange something of equal value so... I exchanged it with that Scucci purse over there-

-"MY LIMITED EDITION SCUCCI PURSE?!"

-He loves you, but you're dead to him, Y/N dear

Idia:

-Before he knew you, he didn't really notice anything off with you

-A little quiet sure but he minded his own business, he had bigger things to focus on

-Until you hung around Ignihyde more often for a project, fixing a huge generator by yourself for one of your partners for a project

-They took a break only after you told them that they could and apprehensive went to go get food and water

-Anyone with eyes could see that there's an overbearing amount of energy flowing through the fairly large sized cube

-Wait, you were wearing no gloves, you could get electrocuted! Why would have your bare hands on something like that?!

-Just as he was able to yell, it was too late, your whole body was flowing with the bright blue energy... and then you let go

-You were walking completely fine, you went and held a random wire on the ground, placing the electricity inside

-The static from your hair was gone, and you looked completely normal. . .

-Just what the hell are you?

-He did hours of research trying to figure you out, even sending Ortho to monitor you

-Yet there was nothing, you were just a “regular teen” 

-Was ready to get S.T.Y.X.S on your ass- (is that too soon to joke abt my bad overblot boys-)

-Until one day he caught you again bending electricity to your will

-Is incredibly impressed with your power (lowkey wanting to experiment on you)

-After he realizes that you can read minds Idia is so damn frightened

- “O-Okay I promise not to say anything, just don’t tell anyone what I’m thinking a-alright?!”

Malleus:

-You were one of the only people who he trusted

-Malleus had always detected some form of magical aura that was otherworldly from you and it never seemed to fade

-And it wasn’t often, but it was almost like you knew what he was thinking

-Whenever he was deeply upset he felt a twinge of energy from you, and then you would insist and help him out with his problems

-And he flat out says “Are you reading my mind, Y/N?”

-You had never been directly outed like this before, you felt horrible 

-You never read people’s minds unless it was very necessary

-whenever Malleus felt deeply gloomy you felt like it was important to just read his mind and help him with the problem

-You explained it to him and apologized, but he wasn’t upset

-In fact, he was smiling?

- “It seems like we have alot of things that we’re hiding from each other. But... you always had the best intentions whenever you used your abilities”

-He let out a sigh and reluctantly admitted, “And, I know that I’m quite stubborn with revealing my feelings.” 

- “I will keep your secret as long as you keep mine, Child of Man,” the dragon fae said, you both shaking on it

- “I always had a feeling that you were special, but I never thought it would be something of this caliber...”

[fandomfluffandfuck]

Growing up I always heard about teenage boys puberty as literally just inappropriate erections and sex drive and aggression, so as a dude and an evanstan fan- which makes you an expert xD. What do you think Chriss and Sebs sex drives are like (as adults ofc). Together or/and separate or just whatever you feel. Love ya!

still going through my old asks- my requests are currently closed

Inappropriately times erections are probably exactly as much of puberty as it sounds like you were taught (if that's the correct word??) lol. And that a thing to be an expert on haha

But, yes, libido. The magic shit that decides if you're a horny fucker or not lmao.

Also-

This is kind of unrelated, but, I have come to realize that truly having a matched sex drive is pretty important in sexual relationships unless you're really good at negotiating lol. It's not about high or low or better or worse, it's just that you've gotta find your match.

1. Chris:

Short answer: I think Chris has a high sex drive unless he's in his own head. In his own head like with anxiety or sometimes even with work he needs to get done. However... because of that steadily high sex drive, he's probably pretty easy to sway, especially if intimate things are already happening (like cuddling) (because the boy gets too handsy for his own good and ends up making Sebastian's insides turn to mush.))

Longer answer: you know how some people are the kind of people where when they're busy they forget to eat or sleep or whatnot? Well, Chris isn’t exactly like that; he remembers to do those things but if he's busy he gets anxiety surrounding deadlines or to do lists and piling up work and so it makes his libido a little finicky. And so if he's working really hard he probably pushes his needs to the side so he can finish whatever it is, putting himself and his desires in the backseat for a second. And that is if the want to do sexy things is even there at all because again, anxiety is a bitch with killing things like that and its kinda hard to get into the moment when your thoughts are going a million miles an hour.

That being said though Chris, especially in his early adult years, radiates so much frat bro™️ energy that I cannot imagine anything but when he's just normally working- comfortably working and not stressing out, that he'd need to jerk off or get off at least every other day, possibly every day too. He's not great at delaying the inevitable, if he's horny, he's horny- why wait it out when he can take care of it now?

He just comes across to me as a, I'll just rub one out in the shower before my day gets going, when he's single, type of man. A maintainness orgasm kinda guy haha.

2. Sebastian:

I think Seb has a pretty consistent sex drive that's at, like, middle of the road all of the time. Likes he's happy to get off once a day/once every other day but he doesn't have to. He'd rather save up all that energy and spend a good amount of time working himself up for one orgasm than a few that are just, like, okay.

However.

When he gets horny...

Oh, boy, when he's horny he's horny and his sex drive can give Chris' a run for it's money (especially if he's feeling a little bratty *cough* sex kitten-ish *cough* or extra playful and wants to push Chris some).

That tendency to jump from 50 to 100 in the snap of his fingers (or, sometimes, the snap of Chris' fingers) means that when he's horny he rarely can wait. When he's cruising at his normal pace he's pretty good at staving it off until later when he's got more of a reason to get off or a natural spike in his sex drive, he likes to get off and have his orgasms feel monumentous y’know? He wants an actual release and a cliff to jump off of rather than a routine to follow through with.

Seb's more of a three/four to possibly five times a week than Chris five to six times a week.

3. Together:

You put these two together-?

Oh, boy, they're then like teenage boys for sure.

Chris' casual routine for an orgasm daily unless his work and/or emotional environment demands otherwise mixes practically fatally with Sebastian's want for his orgasms to be meaningful and big feeling... and they cannot keep their hands off of each other. They not only have sex to sate a natural urge but also to be close and feel close.

And before you know it, after they first have sex and go all in with learning what pushes the others buttons, they're the only ones who can make each other feel the way that they do y’know? Sebastian never is as loud as he is with Chris, he never cums as hard. He never floats so easily in subspace with anyone like he does with Chris... and Chris... nobody brings out Chris' dom side like Sebastian does, the kid just screams good to him. So good that he has to do something with it. Chris never cums as hard as he does with Sebastian with anyone else either, however, he also doesn't feel the sated urge from just getting Seb off with anyone else. Sometimes getting Seb to subspace and to an orgasm is better than getting off for Chris. Together they're unparalleled.

When they're together they have some sort of sex or close-to-sex intimacy every single day for sure, if not multiple times a day.

Evidence lol:

Thank you for the ask!!

How do you think Rory and Jess are celebrating New Year's? Because they're together, right?! I like to think they are by now!

I’d like to believe they’re together, too! In fact, I’d like to believe it so much that I wrote a thing about it…a oneshot, if you will. The damn thing just poured out of me yesterday. I don’t know what happened, but there was no stopping it lol. Sorry not sorry.

(A03) (FF.net)

Happy New Year, my lovely friend! Here’s some post-revival Literati for you to start off 2019 right. 💗

xx Ashlee Bree

Like A Calendar, The Heart Skips Forward

With drunken crowds, ugly tinsel streamers which hang in windows, and snow that’s beginning to stick to the city streets in inches as deterrents, they decide to spend the night in. At home.

The baby’s with her grandparents tonight, probably high on too much sugar and Dr. Seuss. Knowing Luke, he’s likely baby proofing everything again to be safe while Lorelai’s using scary voices so her granddaughter never goes near the stove (but hey, neither did Rory, and she’s turned out fine, hasn’t she?), so she and Jess have plenty of time to themselves. That’s a rarity these days, especially with a toddler in the picture. Alone time seems possible only at ungodly hours in the morning anymore, or during nap time, or in stolen minutes between hectic work schedules. So they’re grateful to Mom and Luke for the offer to babysit every now and again. And they love to do it, to spoil her little angel rotten with small town affection and attention. All the people of Stars Hollow love it, too.

As for Rory and Jess, they enjoy these adult-only nights. It’s a time to revel in intellect, in intimacy.

They love to tune into the timbre of the other’s conversation and fade into each new day talking, listening. It’s exhilarating to them to share new ideas. To uncover deeper feelings in their relationship, but also for them to reach further into the world to figure out what more they can do. Experience. Be.

Parties hold no charms for them this evening. Neither do bars or over-priced concert tickets. Invites from friends go unanswered because they forget to read their messages. They’re more than content to spend the night far away from the end-of-the-year bombast, anyway, with nothing but each other and the hum of this ratty old radiator for company.

They live in an old building so it’s no one’s fault when a malfunction occurs, as one often does.

Luckily, the heat works fine thanks to Jess and his patient tinkering. (Rory never says it out loud, but she swears he’s inherited this from Luke.) Countless hours he spends bent over tools with a concentrative crease in his forehead because their super, Mel, is a slovenly middle-aged coot who binges too much Netflix and refuses to answer knocks on his door from any of his tenants past 9 P.M. Mel likes to blame this incompetence on narcolepsy, but truthfully, it’s because the couch has molded to his prone body by that point, the television playing episode after episode of Frasier or The West Wing, so why trouble himself to move? Better yet, why not put his ringer on silent and ignore all the incoming calls he receives?

(Spoiler alert: he does.)

Encountering one of the Seven Deadly Sins in an actual person still seems a little ridiculous to Rory, borderline unlikely here; especially in a city teeming full of worker bees who supposedly never sleep, but they’ve managed well enough with the radiator on their own. And by well, she means she’s prone to kicking the darn thing any time it roars like it’s a beast straight out of Kevin McCallister’s nightmares in Home Alone.

It’s cozy and comfortable in the apartment tonight, however. Just the way they like it.

That means Rory’s in her favorite pair of slippers, big cumbersome things with floppy ears and shaggy puppy faces curiously similar to Paul Anka’s. Her hair’s loose, fallen past her shoulders, and her arms are stuffed into an oversized Cashmere sweater. Meanwhile, her boyfriend’s walking around barefoot, half-naked in a pair of boxer briefs and a green v-neck tee, his jeans in a ball near the door, seemingly impervious to the December weather.

Is he secretly a werewolf or something, she wonders? An alien? Or just some weirdo who sweats when it’s only sixteen degrees outside, a furnace for girls like her who huddle closer for warmth and never utter a word of complaint?

Music plays low in the background. It’s a playlist curated on one of their phones. Songs from Bjork, the Clash, the Distillers, so many other new and old bands - their favorites - add to the ambiance of this eclectic space they call home.

A half-edited manuscript perches on the edge of the coffee table. Its pages are blotted with black ink and arrowed notes that spill wide into the margins because Jess had spent the morning editing his latest draft, unsatisfied because his characters aren’t where he wants them to be yet. Books litter the kitchen counter. They sit scattered across the floor in organized piles near shelves that are already overflowing, some still stuffed in paper bags because they’d pilfered a thrift shop earlier and now can find nowhere to store the bulky bastards. (Typical for a pair of bookworms who will never have enough reading material between them.)

Appointment reminders and cute little post-it notes stick to the refrigerator in an array of colors. Most are in Rory’s hand, flourished in cursive or silliness, except for the few Jess added by famous authors or musicians because the words moved him; or because he thought they’d start her day with a pretty thought. A smile. A laugh that’d brighten the blue of her eyes.

The living area’s a messy snapshot of their family life with its stench of stale coffee, cologne, and baby lotion. There’s a jacket thrown over the arm of a plush designer sofa and way too many half-empty boxes of Pop Tarts fighting for space in the cupboard with jars of smooth peanut butter and pureed carrots. A laundry basket holds many of the little one’s toys: choo-choo trains, baby dolls, a Batmobile, three sets of ABC blocks, a Wonder Woman figurine, and a stuffed robot aptly named Bee-Doo.

The remote control is always lost somewhere unknown. They might as well attach a key finder around its middle. Or perhaps they should rip up the floorboards instead - a lá the Tell-Tale Heart - because it never takes less than twenty minutes to find the stupid gadget. Either it’s buried under cushions, kicked under miles of folded clothing or prose, or it’s stuffed beneath pillows with spare kernels of popcorn and pens attached to the buttons. Worse than all of that, though, is how the lost-and-found treasure hunt never seems to diminish their scrolling-for-something-to-watch minutes at all. Not in the slightest!

Later, they order takeout from five of their favorite places. It’s too much food for two people to consume in one meal, but who cares? It’s never stopped her or her mother before, so why start now?

There’s pizza, burgers, Thai, Chinese, and one heaping order from that Indian place she’d found around the corner about a month after they’d moved to Brooklyn. It has the most delicious, pungent food so naturally that leaves Jess scrunching his nose and Rory twinkling appreciatively because he’s caved to her doe-eyed pout for once, her belly and heart happy for getting their way.

“See here, mister: victory is mine! I knew you loved me too much to deny me. Admit it,” she says before pecking him sweetly on the cheek.

“Yeah, yeah,” he says after he pays for the delivery and dumps the bags on the table. “Whatever you say.” He remains noncommittal, but the truth shines in his eyes. “Just don’t complain about the cold when I open all the windows. It’ll take weeks to air out the stink in here—weeks. Probably three.”

“Two.”

“Three,” he fires back.

“Two.”

“Okay, two…maybe.” He brushes hair from her face and lets his fingers linger, then smiles her favorite crooked smile. “If we’re damn lucky, anyway.”

After dinner, they eat cheesecake with a bottle of wine. Ice cream with cones is Jess’s dessert preference usually, but they’re out, so they settle for booze and a tasty variation on dairy to help them compile their to-read lists for 2019. He’s on the left side of the sofa, her on the right. Call it a private, serious exercise. Extra points docked for peeking or flirting.

Such a silly idea it is, really, this hoarding then exchanging of lists. Yet it’s a fun way to pass the hours before midnight. Even more fun when they discover the selections that align, and those that don’t, sending them into a tizzy’d discussion about literature and writers the other still needs to know. Pretty soon, another list follows full of recommended titles Jess thinks she should read in the New Year, and vice versa.

Lane had called them a cute agoraphobic couple once, many years ago, if Rory remembers correctly. And by golly, what a label! If only she were here to see them right now, tangled in warmth and limbs and solitude.

She beams at the memory because that’s what she and Jess were back then. It’s what they still are. It’s who they want to be this New Year’s Eve, and the next…and the next…and for every one after for as long as they can live them like this: in love, happy, and together. They’d live this way forever, if only wishes like this could be granted.

“What I wouldn’t give for a Fairy Godmother right now,” she blurts out without thinking, all wrapped up in blankets and curled tight into his chest. “To have a dash of Disney magic or two in my possession would be supercalifragilistic.”

“Why? You don’t need saving.”

“That’s true.”

“So is it Prince Charming you’re after?” Jess asks with a quirk of the eyebrow.

Frowning, “What kind of girl do you take me for? I’m a feminist.”

“You want to freeze the world like Elsa then, huh? Is that it?”

“No.” Tracing his lips with her forefinger, Rory pauses. Reconsiders. “Well, I mean…only if I got to spend all of that time skating across it with you.”

“You mean falling,” Jess mutters.

“Rude! Read my lips: skating.”

He shrugs then. It’s followed by a smirk. “Impossible things are happening every day…or so it goes.”

Giggling, she shoves him, then covers her mouth with her hands.

“Wow, I can’t believe you’re quoting Whitney Houston from Roger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Who are you?”

“Like you haven’t seen it. Give me a break.”

“Many times,” she says, “but that’s not the point. The point is you’ve given a Gilmore ammunition to mock you for the rest of your life. Hasn’t Luke warned you about this? We’re unapologetic mockers, Mom and I.”

“Jeez, you’re mean,” Jess says with a shake of his head and an affectionate pinch to her side. “I should start calling you Grory.”

“Hey, no fair! I’m no Grinch. No Grendel, either.”

“Pre-coffee, that’s arguable.”

“I demand a re-write,” she says, crossing her arms, determined for her pout to win out for a second time.

“No way,” he replies. “That’s too much work, Green One.”

“Fine. As long as you realize you’re stuck with me regardless.”

“Am I?”

“Aren’t you?” Rory asks like a question that dangles then deflates. Her voice catches with uncertainty. The sound’s worse than the squeal a lobster makes in a boiling pot as she shifts onto her ankles on the sofa to pin him with a wide-eyed look, her heart pounding, mouth drier than Death Valley in the middle of a drought. Color rushes to her cheeks because Jess remains silent before her…because he reaches for the tattered copy of Persuasion that’s perched near his feet so he can underline one of Captain Wentworth’s most famous passages in black ink. I can listen no longer in silence, it reads. You pierce my soul. She knows the quote well. She knows it by heart.

However, it’s not until Jess scribbles down his own line onto the page with some rogue pen he’s found teetering on a shoe with no mate, his hand trembling, the apple in his throat bobbing like it’s been pinched by some invisible force he never saw coming; and it isn’t until he places the book in her lap so she can read what he wrote, that joyful disbelief betrays her. That her tears start flowing and flowing. They cover her face in red-eyed tenderness and devotion.

One look back at him, and she knows he feels the same. The love between them so real and so right, it fills the calendar with fulfillment they no longer wish to live without.

Marry me?

Two words, and the jerk’s a poet. Two words, and it’s only him she sees. Two words, one question, and Rory’s faced with an answer that takes no energy to give at all.

I’d be honored to be the Anne to your Wentworth, she writes back with shaky fingers and a grin so big she can barely see. So yes! Yes! A million times yes!

Wine switches to scotch sooner rather than later after that. Then talking turns to kissing, kissing moves to roving touches without either one of them noticing.

Both hands of the clock reach nearer and nearer to twelve as Rory pauses the movie they weren’t actually watching with a yawn, her sapphire diamond sparkling in the T.V’s muted light. Then she stands to refill their glasses one final time before 2018 ends, slippers scratching against the carpet. Jess wraps his arms around her waist while she pours. He smells of booze and sex and home.

Eyes closed and body rocking, he places a kiss against her arm, her shoulder, her neck, her mouth. He leaves a promise there that tastes of all that awaits them and more.

Together, they watch the snowflakes fall and drift to the fire escape outside their window, a moment of quiet before they pack the rest of the leftovers away so they can head to bed with this year lapsed behind them like another chapter closing. The page turns, and before they know it, December endings become January beginnings. The calendar’s blank and in wait for prose that has yet to be written, both of them looking forward to another 365 days full of learning, laughter, commitment, and so many more family firsts along the way.

wait wait, so onethat anon was pretty rude-ish but I get what they're saying I just wouldn't say it myself (the anon that told you to stay in your lane) but being called African American isn't problematic, Hannah. It's what we are. Our ancestors, really just our great(x2) grands (or more greats) were taken from Africa and enslaved and, well, we all had a history class or two. We ARE African, that's where we originally come from and I think people forget that just because we add American, which+

I honestly just don’t think they read all of what I wrote. LOL. Cuz it didn’t make sense to what I’d posted. But I get it.

The term “African American” both is and is not problematic. The same way terms such as “Asian American”, “Latino American”, (and my personal favorite) “Native American” are all problematic and at the same time not problematic. It’s problematic in the way that no one says “Anglo American” or “English American” or “French American” etc. to describe white/caucasian people. They’re just American.

So why do we have to add a qualifier to everyone else? That’s problematic. And when you have people who actually come from Africa to America, they too are classified as African American. And that is problematic because it does not mean the same thing.

Labels create canons. They create a space for people to exist within. And that tends to be useful and a good thing. But canons also create otherness. They define themselves by what’s not included.

So, to make this clear again, nowhere ever have I said that personally identifying as African American is problematic. It’s the phrase that I mentioned in regard to Trevor Noah is problematic. And it’s when we apply it to everyone who is not white, that it becomes even more problematic. Because it imposes upon people all of the things the phrase has come to mean and embody in the U.S. And in the U.S., the term “African American” has come to embody so much more than just a designation of race. It’s a culture, it’s a movement, it’s a shared history, it’s so much bigger and so much more than a racial designation. And all the things it embodies are up to the individual to read as being positive or negative or anywhere in between.

But it’s how the baggage of terms like “African American” or “Native American” or “Latino American” work to imposes the canonical of the category and otherness upon people who may not feel the whole term applies to them. Or how they work to impose these things without anyone noticing.

—–

Ask Part Two: we have to add American because we were born and raised here and our parents were too. We’ll probably never go to or see Africa because our chances of that ever happening were ripped away by white people. So saying it’s problematic to connect to my roots and who I am, even if I don’t know who I am and where I came from, kind of hurts. I’m very proud to be African American and I even went the extra mile and started to learn more about Africa and I learned that my great great something+

——

I’m not sure where you got that it was problematic to connect with your roots/who you are, but it wasn’t on my blog. And you’re preaching to the choir about how hurtful that would be. The U.S. doesn’t acknowledge an entire continent of tan and brown people with whom I racially identify with. And the new normative discourse on race in the U.S. is “If you’re not black, you’re white. If you’re not white, you’re black.” And that’s a false narrative, that creates otherness by what it does not include in the canonical. And if you are not black and you are not white, then you don’t get a seat at the table. You are othered.

——

Ask Part Three: grandma was actually from Ethiopia which I would have never learned because some of my family didn’t even know. So, basically what I’m saying is, and correct me if I’m wrong, we are African American. We are from African decent and we were raised in America which isn’t our fault (this also leads to the stupidity of Africans being angry at us because of this) And…I don’t really know where this rant went, sorry, it’s just that it’s so hard being black (I’m actually part other stuff2)+

—-

Yes, you are African American because that’s how you choose to identify. But just realize that the word “African” is a qualifier in the same way “Asian” and “Native” and “Latino” are qualifiers. Whereas everyone else is just “American” that’s my point. And that’s why it’s problematic. Because it sets everyone else up as other with the assumption that “American” means you’re white. And in Trevor Noah’s standup, he talks about how people told him to say “Native Americans” and he was like, “but they were here first, aren’t they Americans?” He’s making jokes, but everything he says is a valid critique of how racism has been institutionalized. And also how he mediates his place within the words. He’s just very intelligent, very educated, and you have to watch it to understand.

And I am a rant safe blog. Rant away. And I believe you that it’s hard to be black in America. I have witnessed how hard it is to be black in America, and trust me when I say that I make it a part of my daily life routine to be an ally.

——

Ask Part Four: in America because you deal with a lot of racism and white washing and racial slurs and a lot of other disgusting things that I don’t really want to mention. But what I’m saying is (trying to make a connection between us, not trying to be offensive) that just like you struggle with tan /=/ white, some of us struggle with people saying we’re not African. But if we’re not African, just American, then we aren’t black at all? Same for Asian American too. This was such a long rant. Sorry

———-

You are in no way offensive. Don’t worry. And this last part of you comment is the very heart of the identity debate. And there is no right answer. No one solution. It’s ruled by the nuance and individual experience. And I feel that. I really do.

Weird story: This one time in college, I was taking an anthropology class on “Race, Culture and Identity” and my peers were a nice chunk of the diversity my university had to offer. They were from all over the world. And three of the girls were from South America. And they all said that they thought it was funny that people of South American descent, but who are born into the U.S., called themselves hispanic. And me and my friend Tatyana and this other girl (who was born in the U.S. but with family in Peru) were like, “Wait, what?”

We could not wrap our brains around why they didn’t see that as okay. And they said that they defined being hispanic as being from a culture in which you grow up speaking Spanish. And my classmate with family in Peru was like “I speak Spanish, but I was born and raised in the U.S. am I not hispanic?” And the three girls from South America were like, “No. You’re latina or Spanish.”

Needless to say, my mind was blown. I could not wrap my brain around why place and language had so much to do with their definition of that word. But I get it. And it’s one way that designating hispanic and latino to be ethnicity and not race makes so sense to some people.

Then, a guy who was actually from Spain, told us that, in Spain, they do not consider anyone in South America to be “Spanish” they, themselves, are Spanish. And he was like, “People in my country are not latino.” And I get that more easily because their country is called Spain. And latino/latina came from “Latin America” so I get it.

Buuuut at the same time, in the U.S. you can be Spanish and be from South America or have origins in South America. AAAAND you can be from places like Puerto Rico (in the Caribbean) and that’s considered Latin America, but not everyone allows for that to be South America.

And where that all becomes even more nuanced and fucked up, is that the original peoples who cultivated many of these islands in what is now latin America were systematically erased from the world (systematic genocide). Then you add in the slave trade. And while a third of the slaves from Africa went to Central America, more than a third went to Latin America.

ON TOP OF THAT, First Nations peoples from South America (Aztec, Mayan etc.—all these people that had existed before settlers came) were enslaved and shipped all over the place. Hence why my father, a full blooded brown Puerto Rican man, can trace his family back to Mayan and Incan and Aztec ancestry, while also being able to trace some back it to Africa and to Europe. Yet, his government, does not allow him (or his children) the space to racially identify as Puerto Rican, or Latin American, or in any way that might fit his racial description.

He (and his children) have to choose one or more of the following, “White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.” And for more on that see this post!

Race and identity is ruled by the nuance. And in America, it’s a mess.

[dancing-phantom]

I want a beach(or water and sun of any kind) or a week in the woods in my tent while the rain trickles down on it at 4 in the morning, reminding me all we have is now and to enjoy every second of it. It's hard to be in appreciation while under isolation but by His grace, we will keep striving for it. I was in a writing mood tonight but my hand is cramping from the pen, so now we are typing out the thoughts lol. Does anyone else talk at your future spouse through journaling or even thinking throughout the day, because you know it's inevitable you'll be meeting, but until then...? Just me? ...I promise I'm not *that crazy*, could be wishful thinking but I try to imagine what they may be doing, if they're breaking some other poor thing's heart because they don't even know they're not ready for wifey/hubby yet. Btw, I have ADD so my head goes all over the place when I'm free writing because I'm always just writing down the first thing that pops in my head. It goes for some very sloppy handwriting because my head runs a mile a minute. Anyways.... I'm really craving a warm summer breeze with the smell of sea salt hitting my skin, the sounds of waves and seagulls engulfing me, in a perfect world, hand in hand with hubby but only time and God will determine that lol (should I be editing this as I go? I mean I am sleep deprived and just letting all the thoughts out.... do I care what people think? No? Okay) I miss karaoke, and just being creative with a bunch of people around me. I should look into choreographing a class or two a semester. There are always options, I just know I need to dedicate myself and not bite more off than I can chew. I've always been quite ambitious, but we are only now working on my procrastination, laziness, and tendency to forget about one's self-care/spjrituality necessities. I like staying busy, then the mood shifts occur and I lose all motivation and slowly tetter off everything. Lord, I acknowledge the gift ambition you've given, now I ask for stamina and consistency. *What am I even talking about anymore? I need to be helping others in some way, especially right now; I hope I will be given clarity on where to seek the place is the right one for me. My mind is always playing images, particularly dances I want to initiate, but need certain attributes I am currently unable to access and I'm stitting at square one unable to fully execute they way I want to(...perfectionist with some things). I feel like the bad guy sometimes. Given my track record and family history, it's quite simple for me to cut ties from people I desperately love and want in my life, when I feel I'm not being seen or appreciate the way I deserve, and unfortunately it makes me feel like a horrible person sometimes to be able to close all emotion and become completely numb when it becomes to said person(thanks dad! Lol)(btw I forgive him, even if he isn't in my life and I do hope he sees this and knows I do love him. Even if I don't know him.) But hasn't that always been the case? Jordan: the other one. The extra one. The unwanted on. The forgotten one. Am I wrong to think that? You were never there when you said you were coming to get me, and mom made it clear she was planning to abort me, so I've just always been here taling up space. It wasn't until November I even realized that I crawled out of a grave that was dug up for me before I was even born, and it's for a reason. Despite all the negativity surrounding me and experiences involving me, the feelings and depression curdling inside me, is all for a purpose. I'm here to tell others they aren't alone if they are feeling any of these situations or emotions/thoughts. Time goes on and we get wiser and better with age, helping others as we go. We are all the same person living different experiences and we all need to be there for eachother. I'm here if you need me. I'll just be here spewing my thoughts, analyzing why things happen the way they do and what to do about it.
