#cause it’s someone he cared about and it’s so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hi chaos what are some of your favourite Eiji moments (from the anime or the manga, Eiji is awesome either way)?

EIJI MY BELOVED OMG

In approximately chronological order, just a very few top picks:

One of my top Eiji moments is in episode 5 when he fucking steals a cop car for the boy he met like a month ago??? And most of that time was spent with said boy being in prison. But Eiji, ride or die boyfriend that he is, is like "yeah he's worth a felony or three" right off the bat.

Episode 11, the way Eiji reacts to Ash telling him his backstory in his own words. I feel like this is a really important moment for both of them because up until now, Eiji knew a lot about Ash, but Ash hadn't chosen to tell it to Eiji. So here, this moment when Ash can tell Eiji in his own words and gauge his reaction is so so vital to the course of their relationship. And Eiji just ... "You're hurt. Really hurt. I can tell." Also in the manga version of that scene, after Ash's, "It doesn't have to be forever. Even if it's just for now," Eiji responds, "Forever."

Honestly episode 11 has so much of Eiji's caring moments, but we also get amazing shit like the classic AshEiji banter and them flipping each other off (in the manga equivalent). Iconic.

The "eat your own weiner -- or is it too small?" scene (manga exclusive, unfortunately) and uhhhh all of his other snarky comments. We love a boy who can banter.

Episode 20 has some more of my favorite Eiji moments:

"Don't apologize. That's for me to do. Let's go, boss."

THE SOUP SCENE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--

The fact that Eiji brought THREE gangs together (Ash's, Cain's, and Sing's) in order to save Ash form Golzine??? Like. Eiji literally led three gangs at once for a while and united them under one cause. Holy SHIT y'all.

Anyone IRL who complains about Eiji missing Golzine in episode 20 has probably never shot a gun, much less at a real person, and much much less with someone they love being that close to the target. I can understand Sing complaining about it, since he grew up around guns and admires Eiji, but in general, I think Eiji did pretty well, all things considered???

When Ash says "I'll lead them away" and Eiji thinks about it for about a quarter of a second before fucking shouldering Ash out of the way and telling Cain to take care of him so that Eiji can lead Golzine's men away instead. Ash's panic in this scene gets to me so badly -- I can only imagine what Eiji would be feeling in that moment. Bones asks "Where are you going?" and Eiji responds "I don't know!" like his only fucking thought is how he can use what abilities he has to save Ash. Holy shit.

I'm crying I love Eiji so much y'all. Oh my god. There are so many more good Eiji moments so feel free to reblog with your favorites too -- these were just a few off the top of my head. Sorry if I got episode numbers or quotes wrong, these are all just from memory lol

okay I’m behind on my schedule, but quick snippet of my life.

I had an encounter with someone asking for money today (usually I am the master of navigating crowds in a way that I slip right past them but I assumed the person today would ignore me because I was in a bad mood and listening to music, but NOPE), and I always have to think of that one time, someone asked for money for a train ticket. After a short convo, I agreed to give her a few bucks, likely covering like the half?? And yeah I went to the side because we were kind of standing in the middle of the way. What surprised me, and it hasn’t happened since, was that she actively took a few steps back (like 2-3 meters distance) while I got my money out. It’s so typical for these people to be all up in your face and uncomfortably narrowing your surroundings (which makes sense psychologically), but just it surprised me and made me more relaxed while literally holding my case. Which ironically probably would have made it easier to tackle me BUT HEY.

Today also reminded me of that guy that tried to make me sign a newsletter subscription to save polar bears and I, being the skeptical little shit I am, was like “well why do I gotta sign it now if I can do that in silence at home?” and he, dead serious, replied in a cocky tone “So that your beautiful hands sign it on my tablet” BLEGHHHH that is such a disgusting mixture of arrogance (why would I want that??) and trying to pursue me by complimenting (???) me, come on this is a charity thing, I THINK, so why should I care about anything else than the good cause AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and I think my expression must have switched from slightly amused and uncomfortable skepticism to absolutely baffled followed by disgust, since he didn’t attempt to hold me up anymore when I left in a more harsh tone. I wish I could just have that tone per default ahahahah I’m too nice.

#tori talks #tori has a real life #money asks?? #idk #probably nobody cares but hey #i realize I live in a fairly okay country in that regard so I'm sure there's worse incidents #I have seen one in Bulgaria #I'm so privileged oof
