midnight thoughts: [heeseung + drunk words]
synopsis: real sweet, but you wish he was sober (alternatively, you take such good care of heeseung while he's drunk that he decides to tell you how he really feels). pairing: heeseung x gn!reader genre/warnings: hurt/comfort (?), f2l (ambiguous but still cute i promise) / EMETOPHOBIA TW (nothing happens but throwing up is mentioned, be cautious <3)!!!, drunk heeseung lol, tiny skz mention (my worlds colliding), um alcohol consumption (?), sunghoon is the dd don't worry there is no drunk driving! wc: 1.4k (el oh el)a/n: inspired by model student heeseung in the first couple en-o'clocks who is unreasonably attractive but also ? a dork . that is all. (love u hee stans this one's for u hope u're doing okay lately w ur man acting the way he is.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[1:16AM] six shots of tequila and a raspberry smirnoff ice deep, and lee heeseung is gone. strong surges of heat rush to his cheeks to create a dizzying push and pull effect, rivulets of sweat are beginning to drip from his temples, and he's trying his best not to vomit up the fried chicken jake and sunghoon made him eat earlier. heeseung finds solace on the cool tiles of the kitchen floor; he clutches the crisp fabric of his white button down and attempts to will away the waves of nausea that are crashing against the walls of his stomach. breathing in through his nose and out through his mouth, heeseung's thoughts begin to drift back to a familiar place. he can almost feel the phantom sensation of your fingers carding through his hair; the tips of your fingers are refreshing and imbue him with a tranquility that he isn't often privy to.
"holy shit, dude—did we really let you get this fucked up?" heeseung vaguely registers jake's voice as two warm fingers reach under his jaw to check his pulse. inwardly, heeseung chuckles—leave it to biomedical engineering major, pre-anesthesiology track jake sim to presume death over everything else. glancing up, heeseung watches the genuine concern that flashes in the younger boy's gaze. "c'mon heeseung, we gotta get you home, bro. good god—[y/n] is actually gonna murder us …”
heeseung curls in on himself at the sound of your name, hiding away from the prodding of jake’s fingers into his upper arms. he wants to press his face into the crook of your neck, he aches to feel your hands cascading up and down the length of his spine, he yearns so desperately for a chance to indulge in a tender moment of unity with you. heeseung closes his eyes to relish in the way the memories seem to envelop him in a ghostly embrace, and he swears he only blinks once. the bass-boosted music and headache inducing strobe lights become mere background accompaniment to the movie playing behind his eyelids.
he swears he only blinks once, but the familiar aroma of your perfume begins to permeate his senses—bergamot and vanilla, his favorite. voices come into focus, his head starts to pound, and the reality of being splayed all over the backseat of sunghoon’s benz is setting in at the speed of falling molasses. "what the hell did you let him get into?" there's a certain venom in the question that bites at his jugular. he recognizes the cadence of your voice and the way you suck a sharp breath through your teeth with ease. "sigma kappa zeta is so out of hee's league—you couldn't have taken him to alpha tau zeta or tau chi tau or someplace that bang chan doesn't run?"
"he said he could handle it!" sunghoon counters.
you let an incredulous scoff escape your mouth as you berate the two boys in a hushed whisper, "and, you believed him? he obviously wanted to impress you idiots. god, i'm starting to think jongseong is the only one of you with a functioning brain ... "
"[y/n]!" jake exclaims, "so not chill."
"no—what's really not chill is tweedledumb and tweedledumber letting heeseung get wasted at his first frat party." you scold, voice cold as ice while jabbing an accusatory finger in their faces. jake and sunghoon hang their heads like dogs being told off for chewing up furniture; in any other situation, you might have had the inclination to chuckle, but you don't. "now, help him up to my couch and leave before i get even meaner."
everything is blurry as heeseung stumbles his way up the stairs to your apartment; sunghoon and jake are bickering with one another while supporting each side of his body—who is tweedledumb and who is tweedledumber, who let heeseung drink this much booze, who will have to recount tonight's escapades to jay, and who will have to give pity laughs to his impending dad jokes? they curse at one another until you mention the possibility of a noise complaint, and all the incessant chatter stops. in the midst of a spring night, only cricket song remains. heeseung focuses on the quiet chirping until the cool leather of your couch cushions begins to soothe the molten liquid that seems to course through his veins. goodbyes are exchanged and a door is closed somewhere far away, but heeseung's head is too heavy to lift.
he blinks again and opens his eyes to the rough fibers of an old washcloth running over the peaks and valleys of his face. the fabric brushes along the deep circles carved beneath his bloodshot eyes; concentration knits your forehead into a multitude of different creases, and heeseung can't help the pitiful chuckle that tumbles from his mouth. an airy sensation overtakes his being as he realizes that he's right where he had wanted to be all evening—with you. embarrassment still settles like an indestructible boulder in the pit of his stomach, however; shame's spindly talons sink into heeseung's flesh as he realizes just how much of a fool he's made out of himself.
"just—just wan'ed to be cool, [y/n]," heeseung slurs out, voice plagued with exhaustion. bringing his knees to his chest, heeseung attempts to keep his tears at bay. "just wan'ed to show you that i c'n be cool 'nd awesome 'nd sexy! but, now 'm just looking stupid on your couch ..."
placing the washcloth on the arm of the sofa, you move to rest heeseung's head in your lap. he gladly accepts the comforting gesture, cuddling into the soft cotton of sweatpants he realizes are his. combing your fingers through his roots and scratching at his scalp, you whisper, "for the record—i already think you're cool and awesome."
heeseung glances up at you, face swollen and eyes puffy. "really?" he asks, "so, you don't think i'm a stupid, un-sexy idiot that can't hold his liquor?"
"well, you can't hold your liquor," you muse with a hint of laughter in your voice, caressing the supple skin of his cheekbone, "but, no. i don't think you're a stupid, un-sexy idiot."
basking in the reality he was just confronted with, heeseung's drunken mind can only focus on one thing. his desperate need for clarification tempts him; desire's forked tongue beckons him towards the truth. the question repeats over and over again in his brain until it spills out—an unwilling victim of an inebriated perpetrator. "so ..." he drawls, attempting to wink but closing both eyes instead, "you think i'm sexy?"
and, you laugh. it's a euphoric sound—a beautiful melody reminiscent of spring picnics, gingham blankets, and the fragrant scent of blooming tulips. for a moment, heeseung loses himself in it; coherent thought escapes his grasp as he is overtaken by you. your touch, your warmth, the bleary image of your smile as it comes in and out of focus. you wash over heeseung in waves, an ocean of calm in a world that only seeks to burn; alluring siren song floods his mind as you call out to him over the sound of the blood pumping his ears. the cool tips of your fingers are beginning the quell the heat beneath heeseung's skin as consciousness begins to slip away from him, and a dopey grin is woven onto his lips.
"heeseung," you murmur, the ghost of a bout of giggles hiding behind your words. "hee, baby, you should really let me get up to grab you some advil."
the term tumbles from your mouth before you can help it, and you freeze. having revealed yourself, you're overcome by the desperate urge to run—but, heeseung has given you nowhere to go. his weight traps you, holding tight and pressing harder by the second. half of you wants to hear him say it back, while the other hopes for the couch cushions to swallow you whole. heeseung—though not a man of many surprises with his perfect grades, perfect attendance, perfect everything—manages to stun you tonight.
"wan' you t'call me that again, [y/n]," heeseung mumbles through sleep, "please."
"you want—" your voice catches in your throat, "you want me to call you baby?"
there's a beat of silence so long that you're almost sure heeseung has fallen victim to the salivating jaws of sleep, but he groans. the utterance is low and deep—dripping with what seems to be a concoction of mild annoyance, exasperation, and endearment. "'s all i've ever wanted, [y/n]," he replies, eyes closed and nose buried into your sweater, "you're all i've ever wanted."
another pause.
"okay," you say, meandering through the quiet for a moment, letting yourself wade towards him in this new sea of possibilities, "baby."

Lookism Men x Female Reader "Their types on a woman PART 5"
I just realized I haven't made a Jace and Jerry one for this (sorry xD). This one will be probably shorter since I want to insert 4 characters at a time in posts (I hate text limits lol). Genre: Fluff☁️ smut/lemon🍋, slight crack🧨(comedy) Warnings: slang terms of female genitalia/body parts (tits, ass, etc.), slight mentions of sex on the bottom parts, trust issues, insecurities
Jerry Kwon (Kwon Ji Tae)
Tumblr media
Unpopular opinion: He deserves more love and support from the fandom. Just look at him he's just too cute man.
Anyways, we all know that behind his tough shell Jerry is actually a fluff ball. So it's no problem socializing and befriending him out of pure kindness. He's super nice to everybody trust me (except from his enemies of course).
Like most of the boys, Jerry likes kind and humble women. He's also attracted to very short ones since he founds them really cute especially if they're the same age as him. He's the type to give you piggy backs when you're legs hurt from walking 🥺. He'll also the type to be protective and he'll always walk you to home after school too.
He would also appreciate your friendly personality especially when you don't judge him by his looks. Most people were pretty scared of him since he doesn't look like a "normal student" or the others often mistaken him as a father lol. He still can't help but to be a bit insecure sometimes but he just brushes these things off making him more a bit confident about himself. So being a warm goofball, being loyal and honest to him can really catch his attention and you can form a special bond with him.
Headcannon: Like Eli, Jerry also likes women who can be helpful in the kitchen/household chores. Because of the Workers always creating trouble, it's hard for him to relax and rest so cooking his comfort food for him makes him happy. He'll also bake with you if he has the free time!
And Jerry also likes a woman who's not only kind to others but also very gentle with animals. He'll also share you pictures of little pups and kittens he saw on the street and he'll feel a bit bad when you scold him since you're worried that the stray animal will bite him lol (but he knows that you're just worried about him so he's not really pissed off at you and he always reassure you that he's careful when approaching stray animals). "Look Y/N I saw this poor kitten on the street let's take care of it!" your bf exclaimed as he carries an orange/ginger cat wrapped on a soft towel. "Jerry, are you sure? Doesn't that bite your hand? It's probably infected." you scolded him as he has that puppy eyes again which will work on you again, bastard. "Can we keep it? Please?" he pleaded as you sighed knowing that you can't stop him from adopting the animal. Besides the it looks pretty cute too. "Okay fine, give him to me" you smiled at him as his eyes sparkled even more. "I think the kitten's a girl! Let's name her Ginger!" "Ginger? That's a really nice name."
Jerry will also pair up with you in music class if you can play a musical instrument or if you have a decent singing voice if you don't mind. He can't help but stare at you when you're focused in singing or playing your instrument of choice, he finds it really cool! (Now imagine a Lookism Musical/Band AU that would be lit).
This mochi looking guy is super gentle with you which facades his tough persona when he's out to protect Jake, Big Deal and especially his sweet, kind and polite girlfriend of course. He's also warm and cuddly like a teddy bear so there's no problem with hugging him! (He'll often ask for permission if he can hug you. Respect).
Jace Park (Park Bum Jae)
Tumblr media
Another one who's underrated af. Like I want to give this man a hug (and also child support).
To be honest he's not the type to look out or approach women. Heck, he'll be the type to say that he would rather die than stay on the Earth with only one girl who he doesn't even know. But we all know that he's a hopeless romantic deep inside. So his chances with getting a girlfriend can be pretty low (it's just his self esteem getting in the way).
But he can't help but to stay at a woman's side when she's nice, gentle, smart and fun to hang out. He can really relate and look up to a girl who seems to be relatable. You can form a special relationship with him if you're the type to read books or if you're the type to be chatty with new interesting ideas and theories with entertaining topics. With these traits like this you can easily get Jace's attention. But after that incident when the girl he was crushing on was actually a spy, his trauma just got worse.
Headcannon: He has trust issues to almost everybody. The only ones he has faith in was no other than Vasco and Burn Knuckles since he has devoted his heart on his gang that he can consider a loving family now (also Allied but not too much he's just helping them out for business). So what's the most important fundamental on a woman for him is that having a trust-worthy girlfriend. It just warms him up more and made him willing to socialize with others. It will take a lot of times to actually approach him since he's already being cautious. But knowing that Jace is smart and it's just his feelings getting in the ways sometimes, he might start talking to you.
And we all know that he's been bullied, used and hurt a bunch of times. And not wanting to appear as vulnerable and weak, he often has to put on this tough persona. But having a girlfriend whom he can trust and who will actually listen to his problems/attentive/good listener can make his stress less worse. And of course, if he really loves and appreciates you a lot he's willing to listen to your problems too and give the best advices that he can give.
He's also insecure about his ears. So having a someone who's standards in looks are not too high can boosts his confidence. He really likes it when you play with his ears despite him denying it. He doesn't like other people touching him but if it's massages coming from his someone I'm pretty sure he can't resist it. He loves your soft hands but it just depends on his mood honestly. If he's working/studying it can be a bit annoying if you start being clingy but he can't control himself from cuddling with you either. "Wow, Jace your ears are so soft like marshmallows." you fondled with your "best friend's" ears as he is reading a book. "Y/N... I'm doing something important." he groans as you won't stop playing with his ear lobes, but it honestly feels good. "You've been reading your silly book for 2 hours now." you pouted as he looks at you with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, first this book is not silly at it actually has a good plot. And second, you've been waiting for me to finish this when it will take 2 more ho-" his sentence was cut off when you gave a peck on his cheek. His inner self was screaming internally like a firecracker wanting to explode. "C'mon now silly let's go to dinner. There's a new SamG place on the street!" you exclaimed as you held his hand almost making him stumble. You can see the redness on his face reaching to his ears.
Breaking his trust can be a huge problem in your relationship. So please be honest with him.
Vin Jin (Vin Ho Bin)
Tumblr media
I hate him at first for bullying Duke but I kin him so much lol.
Unpopular opinion: I think Vin would like women who are up to his standards. If you have a pretty face, cool vibes, nice ass and big tits he'll be chasing after you lol. He's also pretty toxic especially if it's the start of the Lookism series. He let his anger take over him so he really needs someone who's emotionally strong, mature and understanding.
He also really hates whiny girls (the ones who tries to act cute but ends up being cringy lol). There's times that he may get turned on by this but if a woman act like this most of the times he'll get agitated. So just be yourself.
Vin also likes women who share his humor. Like if you're the type to make sex jokes or dark humor a lot (y'know the memes that you can watch on Youtube), he'll definitely be more relaxed and composed around you.
He also likes stubborn and competitive women (especially the ones who's shorter than him who acts so tough lol). He really gets entertained if you started challenging him about stupid things. "VIN JIN! LET'S ARM WRESTLE AGAIN!" you challenged the raven-haired male who's wearing that silly dark shade googles again making him make a smug. "Bitch, I already won stop being an ass." he smirked at you, finding it cute when you pout at his statement. "Huh, you just cheated again dumbass!" you screeched at him while he makes a mocking expression. "Hah? And so what you gonna do about it?" "Can you both shut the fuck up?" Mary scolded the both of you because of the teacher already coming to your classroom (slay queen).
But after getting through some character development (slowly but surely), I think Vin would realize that what he really needs is an understanding woman who's also a good listener. We all know he's insecure about having his pupil hyperplasia. He'll started softening up if he has a "girl friend" who will not make fun about his eye disease.
He also really likes women who can be easily teased. Especially when you deny that you really like him even when you act like an asshole to him lmao. "C'mon Y/N I know you find me hot. Just ask me out on a date already." he smirk as he can see the blush on your cheeks getting darker. "F-FUCK OFF WILL YOU! I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU!" "But Mary said that you li-" you hit his arms a bunch of times as he let out a guffaw at your reaction. "AND YOU BELIEVED HER?! YOU REALLY ARE A DUMBASS!"
If he's an ass, he needs someone who's both mentally stable and unstable. It's the perfect balance of destruction.

so, my chi has been crying a lot about the fact that she’s destined to not have a soulmate. i couldn't bear to constantly imagine her being all sad, so i went to look at some of my wips to see if there was an oc fit for her. only had this guy… and then a fairy mafia boss who seemed even more ill-suited for her. this is how the convo went: me: "uh, u sure u want him? he's kind of…" :| chi: "YES, he's perfect!" owo *runs to hug him around the neck* ziggy: *surprised* "ooh?" *has no idea who she is but circles arms around her waist regardless* "hi babe" owo me: "i- okay…" ig this is how it goes, LOL
istg their interactions in my head are so weird. literally borderlining on insane. (reminds me of mine and sae's interactions. literally, yesterday she talked about deboning her lover when they die so she could put their spine on display at her home. being her first lover, i asked if she’d debone me too in the hopes of a yes, and she said she’d bone me instead). anyway, ziggy is not really designed to be part of the jjk universe. my original thought when i drew him was actually for him to be some sort of immortal dimension hopper with the ability to warp reality. he’s op and really, he’s meant to be an annoying dimension troll. so, maybe one day he just lands in whatever universe chi is in and coincidentally stumbles upon her. because she’s sweet and he likes her, he sometimes returns to visit her to hear about her life and smooch. he wipes her memory of him every time afterwards and gives them back when he sees her again. mostly, he just lets chi live her life until she dies. that’s when he promises to come back for her and bring her with him so they can stay together… until he gets tired of her, but she vowed to stay with him for eons so he wouldn’t have to be lonely and to entertain him. c:

Here’s all my pouches in my collection!!
more pouches under the cut
Tumblr media
First off these are the high quality ones. The ones on the right are from etsy, and are amazing quality and are the most adorable. Currently, they’re sold out, but this artist has LOTS of amazing items and a new blobfish pouch that i believe is in stock!
The other two were just expensive because they were on brand BTS imports lol. They’re still super good quality, i shouldn’t have bought them because of the price tho.
Tumblr media
My special interest is Chi’s Sweet Home and I have lots of knock off chi pouches! The butt one isn’t specifically chi, but it was so close to her that i bought it anyways.
Tumblr media
All my sanrio’s :)
Tumblr media
These are all the pouches that I got on my trip last year in Japan. The Miffy isn’t a pouch, it’s a business card holder but i think it counts. It holds all the cards from my collectible blind box art (kikagoods etc)
Tumblr media
These are all my low quality cheap stuff!
All of them I got off Temu, except the tiger which I found locally at a k-pop shop. The tiger one is really nice quality, just cheap, but the others are lower quality :)

Dark Angel Reaction: 411 on the DL
Jezebel (@typicalopposite) reacts [with occasional asides by Wench (@scripted-downfall)]
I don’t sleep much 🥴🥴 They are human, woman.  They need sleep
Jesus, glad I’m not epileptic [I didn't see a warning, that's for sure]
Le gasp COPS
Asssss hole coppps
["how's a girl supposed to get home?" I get the actually point she was making, but also... Chick, you're a supersoldier.  Figure it out fjsksks] 
I still maintain the twirling baby is odd  [You haven’t come to love the revolving baby yet?]
[TONY! ...Wait :)]
BRUH.  I LOOKED DOWN RIGHT WHEN HE PULLED OUT THE SANDWICH.  IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE A SANDWICH  [That's called a baguette, dear, but also.  Awkward.  Also, I thought you were "bruh"ing because of the button itself dhsjsk]
Now you can see why seeing him play stoic serious was odd  [‘Tis true.  He's got some snark, but nowhere near the same]
I’m pretty sure Tony has an ex wife too iirc  [Huh]
Not his chi
Oooof.  Marital issues.  I thought she was being rude at first, like "you were the last I was thinking of", but I see it’s not
Gah damn that a lot a money  [Yup. That's a lot now, much less in this universe.  But it does bear mentioning: a motorbike called Nirvana seems awesome]  Those fucking places suck.  I had a car impounded after a wreck  [Damn]
[Wdym, you let everything slide off you like water?  No, you don't, Max; you bitch about everything]  😂😂😂😂
“I hear ya sista but you don’t hear me”
Wait, is herbal gay?  I’m relistening to that lol
No I misheard.  He said my woman; I thought he said my ol’ man.  I was like wooooot
[She sounds so whiny too, just saying.  Like, I get the point, and I'd agree, but also.  "I don't want a used bike, wah"]
Does Normal ever smile before Alec lol  [No.]  ☠️☠️☠️
A SMILE  [Okay, that was a half smile, but like.]  well  [Not the same]  Smilette
Suspicious blonde boy look like suspicious blonde kid.  Watch Sam be Zach or one of them
Can you scan the barcodes?
“It’s like opening up the paper and seeing my panties”  I don’t think that would be the same ma’am
Lintlicker
[Oh, look, this time Max is the jealous one]
[His hair is so spiky]
What did she say?  “Lookey?”  [It was whatever nickname Valerie used on the phone.  Loogey, is my guess]  W-why is that his nickname  [Idk, my dear]
And he can’t turn it off ☠️☠️☠️
Jealous Max ☠️☠️
If I was him I would run over her damn toes
[Why do so many of these episodes have the premise "Max needs x amount of money before y person leaves the state and has to do z bad thing to get it.”]  Right? 😂😂😂  [We’ve got this one, then “Proof of Purchase,” then “Borrowed Time.”  And that’s just off the top of my head.]
So now she needs 18000
Is that Taika?  [I WONDERED THAT!  I've been wondering that for days] That is not taika  Lol  [Djdjsjsksk Good to know]  Boooo I was excited
😂😂☠️☠️ love the speech  [Fjjsksks I love Herbal]  Sameeee
Wait did herbal leave?  Like, leave leave?  [He's allegedly been fired, but idk if it lasts] Ahh, I see  [Max has been fired like 50 times]
[Okay, Normal is being a bit suspicious with.  Sam.]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Cheer up!
Oooooop Jealoussss  [Accurate]
[Not quiet, not sweet, etc.  But also, sweeter than Max]  Nice…er than you bitch
“Great body”  😂☠️☠️☠️☠️
["by the grace of God" fjdjksksk]
Oh no she didn’t just pop up on them like that!  Howwwww rudeeeeee
– – –
Here, Wench’s Internet decided to go out, so her responses were done after the fact and blended in subsequently.  Thus, this is also true for anything Jezebel responded to her with.
– – –
Oooooo! Angryyyy Max
Oh nooooo, his womannnnn.  Fuck Winston! 
“Wiiinston!  *shakes head*”  I love Herbal!
A dog!  [Makes sense it’d growl given her feline genes, but not quite clear on how/why it stopped]  ☠️☠️☠️ that’s what I thought
BRUH ☠️ all that and the box only had $2  [I do have to ask a) why tf she thought there’d be much money in the unsecured box there and b) why she didn’t steal the $2, but oh, well.]
Welp, impound man: you have been bamboozled
Clint linklicker ‘sigh’  [That guy working under him looks like Elias from Person of Interest.]
[“We’ll be there” Bro, you’ve been there every time she showed up in the past.  You just can't catch her because you… suck.]  Like.  I just can’t even 😂😂😂
[“That young man is worth the rest of you bums put together” Sir, your worship is showing again.  I swear, he says that exact same sentence about Alec.  I’m noticing a trend.]
So what is this, post apocalyptic Amazon?  I’ve been meaning to ask that this whole show  [You mean Jam Pony?]  Ye  [Yeah, basically.  It's a delivery service. Not really a corporation though.]
Like I get them being angry but they don’t have to be mean to dumb blonde man  Sammy boy is struggling to ride a bike, friend
She stuffed gum in the money hole
“A butterfly farted in India”  ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
– – –
An update on Wench’s adventures with Internet:
Google search: "how do you connect to wifi"
Google answer: "go to this link"
Link: "this link won't work in chrome; go to this safari link for help"
The Safari link in question: "sorry, you're not connected to the internet"
Wench: WTAF, HOLY HELL, OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS, JUST- @K$#$*&@(RJ#&$R)(#$*(*@)(*@$)(@$
Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
– – –
Long-after-midpoint reaction:
Well, first I felt a little pity for Max cause they stole her bike, and then the guy’s potentially scamming her.  I’m guessing he’s gonna get dead, btw, if he’s going against Lintlicker.  (Which is a saved word in my phone now lol)
But her little hissy fit over Logan’s ex… Hmph.  Like. WOMAN.  Either you want him or you don’t.  (Which is so much like Ziva you will seeee omg).
Also HERBAL! Buddy! Kick Winston and ya woman out! That’s not good!
And then there’s Ken doll. ☠️☠️ who seems like discount Alec even though Alec isn’t even on yet, just because he has Normal drooling over him
– – –
WHY YOU SO MEAN TO THE DUMB BLONDE BOYYYY
“Weeenston”
Oh nooooo, the sunburn  [He looks. Orange.]
Oh nooo x2 the ring mark
Yussssss the double crossing.  She seemed so nice.
They aren’t even really kissing wtf is this ☠️☠️  They are mouthing the air around each other’s mouths  ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Well.  Guy (Vogelsang) got dead
[Ma’am does not understand subtlety; she legit stares, frightened, at the Manticore guys, then suspiciously runs away.  THEY LOOK FOR THAT KINDA THING.]
[“Vogelsang was dead and Lydecker was there; that’s enough for me” Ma’am, wot. Illogic at its finest.]
He’s fine
Have you ever been able to? Lol
Oh shit that’s gonna be a thing (her telling about the ex)
WHATTTTTT DID I SAY?  I CALLED IT 
Now dumb blonde is less dumb ☠️☠️☠️  I love it
Did he know she was her?  [idk, I’ll let you know when I rewatch]
What is that run?  ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Oh he did know [Ah, I see]
He be a mooooordererrrrr
His whole personality is different it’s strange
Bruh who are you ☠️
“That’s an order”  Why are y’all even free if your gonna be ordering people around  [That’s what I’m freaking saying, thank you]
Don’t kiss her
Pls don’t kiss her
[That scene was uncomfortableeeeee.  Even without “Some Assembly Required” as a primer.]
And cue angry Tony.  I mean, Logan.
Why he give her money????  WHY DID HE GIVE HER THE MONEY?!?!?!?!  THROW HER OUT THE WINDOW 
“It wasn’t my idea.  I just executed it.”  Why’d he give her the mooooooney!???!!!
He’s too niceeeee
Oooof  [Buddy angsting at the window, staring out at the rain like a regular Heathcliffe]
Herbal put Weenston out.  I love it
Why is she getting the third degree for being honest?
Buddy, that’s not how you say “you should go give Logan some loving”
HES STILL SITTING AT THE WINDOW, THE POOR BUDDY  😂😂😂😂😂
Did she say she “hooked up” with Zach?  Ma’am, he touched your chin and that was toooo much
THIS IS NOT GIVING LOGAN LOVE, MAAM.  soooo very ruuuuudeeeeee
Okay, now y’all kiss
“In the guest room,” he says.  That’s code for something
This is the.  WEIRDEST.  Talk.  [Well, at least they both talk circuitously.]
AND DONE
– – –
Jezebel: I swear I’m vibing during my midpoint and I’m confused by the end.  Each ep.  I think it’s cause usually the big problem gets solved but opens a new one.  Which I mean yeah that’s how shows go from ep to ep. But idk this feels like too much. Almost like the ending shouldn’t be the ending but like a mid or 3/4 point. Idk.  I still like it, though. Wayyyy more than I intended to
Wench: For what it’s worth, season 2 kinda resolves that, imo.  Or at least to my recollection.  The main episodes I remember reach natural conclusions.  
Jezebel: 🙂 good!
Wench: But they’re also a bit more standalone in general.  s1 is about her quest to find her siblings; s2 is about Manticore folks being out and about in general.  There’s a bit of an arc, but not as much of one.  If that makes sense?
Jezebel: Ahhh it does 🙂
Wench: My favorite eps are pretty standalone, at least.  “The Berrisford Agenda” is one of my beloved episodes (Alec-centric) and it’s very compact.
Jezebel: Wait, is Ben one of the ones that got away or is he her actual brother?
Wench: He’s one of her siblings.  One of the kids who escaped in ‘09.  With Max.  Part of her unit.
Jezebel: Ahhhhhh! See this whole time I thought he was just like another kid her mom had that she finds and, like, gets killed in the crossfire
Wench: Nah, he and Alec got twinned.  Only the twins are at all biologically related, and that’s not them usually them being related, per se; it’s usually cloning or something.  And Ben got out, but Alec didn’t.
Jezebel: WAIT HIS NAME IS BEN.  i just made this connection too ☠️😂
Wench: askfjlksjf I’m so confused
Jezebel: Ben. From spn
Wench: oh.  OH.  Huh.  I thought you were going for Soldier Boy ‘cause his name is Ben 
Jezebel: WAIT WOT
Wench: Yeah, pretty sure
Jezebel: Bruh
Wench: :) 
Jezebel: He plays the Bens; he fathers a Ben (as Dean), he dates a Ben…ny
Wench: !!kjlajsdlfkjasdflkj
Jezebel: Ackles, you got a preference or something?
Wench: LKJASLKDJF;ALKDJSFL;KJASDF
*a moment passes*
Wench: I’m dying waiting for you to get to "Pollo Loco".  It’s my favorite s1 episode.  The filming is stunning.  And Ben is such a tragic character, and is done so well (he’s like if you took MBV!Jackles and smushed in Dean)
Jezebel: Awwww 🥺🥺🥺
Wench: And maybe a bit of SB, though I don’t know for sure.  He’s got a deep and abiding cynicism that makes me think more of what little I know of SB.  And a delight in violence.  Dean likes the hunt, but he doesn’t thrive on the violence to the same degree, imo.  You agree?
Jezebel: Yeah, I get it
– – –
That’s a wrap!  We don’t know when the next episode will be — thus, whether the next reaction is going to be NCIS or Dark Angel — but see you then!

Chihayafuru #52: Here comes the Yoshino Tournament
AKA. Kanatomu is back and absolutely here to stay. 
[Previously: There’s a kind of confidence only Ayase-san can give him.]
Gosh, picking this up after a hiatus of 1.5 years is not gonna be easy, lol. Can’t believe that this partial post on Chihayafuru season 3 episode 2 has sit in my drafts for that long. I would like to blame Netflix for getting me hooked on The End of the F*cking World and Haikyuu, but to be fair, it was Genshin Impact. Okay, fine, it’s me. But I dare you to be unaffected upon the sight of and acquaintance with the one true Queen (of GI, obviously not karuta), I dare you. 
... Jokes and finger-pointing aside, I am truly glad to return to rambling about this wonderous world, despite feeling lost and out of tune like Taichi making his way back to karuta in the beginning of season 1. I must admit that I have forgotten quite a bit of what happened in the past seasons - the matches, the characters’ struggles and dynamics. Before sitting down to finish this post, I have re-read my Chihayafuru collections in the hope of filling up the gaps in my recollection but the fact remains that I am truly worried about my ability to do the rest of Season 3 (which is a lot left ahahaha) and the entire Chihayafuru story justice. It is such an intricately and tightly written work thus far, with so much depth and all the details that all tie together.
Nonetheless, seeing Taichi and hearing Miyano Mamoru have never failed to inspire me to do my best at any given moment. So this is for you, Masuge-kun, and me, for us idiots who ran away and could not help coming back to home.  
*deep breath* Now that I got that out of my chest, let us go back to episode 52 because Kanatomu is a thing already. I’m just literally waiting for either of them taking the next step of confession because really, it’s just a matter of time that Kanatomu is canon. So excited for them to be actively turning toward each other and walking the same path hand in hand!!
Tumblr media
Before snow falls on Yoshino Village
Tumblr media
So many heartstrings were tugged on hearing that sweet bumbling hesitancy in his voice. 
There’s so much about the opening scene of this episode to love, from Arata’s cute blushy face, the return of his less-seen shy self, to his gentle and whole-hearted conviction in the need to keep the karuta world growing via school teams, which are often regarded by traditionalists as lesser players. It’s truly heartening to see friends cheering on our resident soft-speaking, socially distant boy and him declaring his intention to enter the next national team tournament. 
Tumblr media
“Our world of karuta can only grow because of team players who keep the game alive, right?”
It was not until this scene that I truly felt the karuta world’s transformative power on Arata and how much he has opened up since his reunion with Chi-chan and Taichi, and his return to karuta. Had it not been for such experience, Arata might have been much more like Shi-chan, closed off and passionate all on her own. While Arata’s plan to form a school team for the national tournament quickly came to a bust, there’s no denying that Arata’s world has vastly opened up, the moment he wished to spread the word of karuta. 
Tumblr media
Our fun and peaceful school life rounds continued with Chi-chan and the hardship of figuring out a future path. A certain obstacle will soon be placed in her path but before that, here comes training time. 
Tumblr media
You’re not the only one lol. The only move Taichi made was to declare war on Chi-chan... so we’ll have to wait and see. 
Tumblr media
Reality, as it looks, is pretty disheartening, huh?
Tumblr media
Taichi’s progress was all noted by Chi-chan, especially how much further his strength in memorization had taken him in the game, making him a very formidable opponent in the later half.
Tumblr media
Boy is aiming much higher now, heh? Well, one thing is certain - he definitely had Chi-chan’s attention now. A poor shipper can only hope that he would build something substantial out of it, while Arata is not yet back in the picture permanently. 
Tumblr media
Perhaps not so surprisingly, Taichi is not the only whose spirits ran high. #everyone_wants_taichi
Tumblr media
It’s absolutely hilarious to see these 3 fighting over who got to play Taichi and even better to see the ever gentile and soft-spoken Tsutomu-kun literally snap after an ill-advised argument from Nishida lmao.
Tumblr media
Achievement unlocked: one snapped Tsutomu.
Tumblr media
There’s a real sense of momentum in Tsutomu’s progress and it would certainly do him good to keep riding on that wind. As Kana-chan so shrewdly observed, going undefeated for an entire day can truly change a person’s mindset. 
Tumblr media
And Tsutomu is not the only one energized by the team and individual victories of the club. The competitive bug has taken hold of another, one who has found a guiding goal for herself and started to walk firmly towards it. 
Tumblr media
If Tsutomu’s spirited outburst was already quite unexpected for someone of a quiet disposition, Sumire certainly took the prize in being the greatest surprise of them all. She was asked by Taichi to take a turn playing against Chi-chan, who have started to get comfortable playing with her left hand. Sumire was meant to be an “easy” opponent so that Chi-chan could slowly reacquaint herself with using her right hand. While her level may have not seen a big leap but the same could not be said for her determination and resolve to do exactly what Taichi is trying to do - getting on the radar of her love interest. 
Tumblr media
That look in her eyes certainly said all. No longer directionless, she now takes tenacious steps with her eyes dead-set on the goal. Her no-nonsense attitude, previously dormant, has taken hold and redefined her character in such a way that completely captivated everyone’s attention.
Tumblr media
“I’ll win more in the next tournament. I’m not gonna be class D forever.”
Tumblr media
Sumire’s desire to catch Taichi’s eyes being a powerful motivator for her karuta is just in her character. What really strikes me is how enduring such motivation has turned out to be. Seeing this once-flippant and thoughtless girl putting her mind to some real serious pursuit and self-development is truly gratifying. 
It feels a little strange to go back to school with these guys after a whole season of mostly tournament matches in Omi Jingu. Suddenly, school trips are a thing, even Chi-chan is hyped over it. These reminders of them having some sort of life outside of karuta will need some getting used to, lol. Unfortunately, seems like school and karuta will come head to head at some point. 
Tumblr media
Apparently, school trip is not something Chi-chan can easily skip for karuta. Even her literature teacher, after reading her love poems to karuta, took upon himself to forewarn the Empress, aka. the karuta club adviser, on how Chi-chan is a flight risk. Downtrodden by thoughts of not getting to go to the Qualifiers, Chi-chan was shaken out of her funk by Kana-chan, who has always sought to instill feminine grace in our heroine.
Tumblr media
I do like the idea of performing small acts of good behavior to accumulate good luck. It is similar to building good karma through acts of kindness and charity, and is a very Kana-thing to believe in.
Tumblr media
Then came this somewhat bewildering insert of a Japanese lit. period, which touched upon the age-old debate of creator vs. critic and the role of literature teachers as those who pass on “the words of the many who came before”. Like I do appreciate the insights but I’m not sure of their relevance to the story, now or later. But it did make Chi-chan’s face light up so is this some sort of placeholder for some discussion of future career pathway? *shrug* still weird. 
Tumblr media
There is finally some good news for Chi-chan: her finger has recovered well after the surgery and her right hand is back! And the Yoshino tournament is literally around the corner, so let’s go! 
Tumblr media
Team or individual...?
The arrival and clashes of karuta societies made the Yoshino tournament livelier and stand out from previously seen tournaments, where either the schools or the individuals took the center stage. Chi-chan and company were here to play for themselves and to also represent the philosophy of their respective societies. 
Tumblr media
Here comes the Nagumo society, from Fukui. 
Tumblr media
And their arch-rival.
Tumblr media
I miss Harada-sensei!!!! 
Tumblr media
Love how the members are so gentile, except for the coach...
Tumblr media
There are also some peeps whose schools are akin to karuta societies, me thinks.
Tumblr media
Yay, Rion made it to class A too. That should put her in matches against Chi-chan and Taichi at some point!
Tumblr media
Lest I forget amidst all the excitement, but this is Taichi’s first-ever tournament as a class-A player!!! 
Tumblr media
Harada-sensei welcoming Taichi to class A and being a proud papa is all the fluff I need. 
Tumblr media
Fired up by his own agenda for the Shiranami karuta society as he was, Harada-sensei never forgot to cheer on his Eyelashes-kun, the prodigal child that returned home to karuta.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Chi-chan had a sweet moment or two with Arata, and then promptly got herself caught up in shenanigans, again. 
Tumblr media
blushie from Arata. Now that I think about it, when was the last time that Taichi was this blushy around Chi-chan... Though to be fair, he was too busy keeping up with her antics and too jaded by her less-than-feminine comportment to have time for blushies... 
Tumblr media
She looked so cute here, reminding me of younger Chi-chan - so pleased by praise from Arata.
Tumblr media
But above all, they are here for the karuta.
Tumblr media
Certainly not before meeting Arata again, right?
Tumblr media
And here came Sudo-san, whose “s” stands for shenanigan, sadist and stalker.
Tumblr media
... Oh come on, he provides commentary for all of Chi-chan’s matches, whenever he’s not playing himself. If that is not stalker-ish behavior, then it’s secret admirer, mwhahaha. 
Tumblr media
Taichi = Chi-chan’s tamer.
Tumblr media
The stakes just keep getting higher, huh? DON’T TAKE IT, TAICHI!!!
Though I must say I do look forward to a rematch between Sudo-san and Chi-chan, if the mangaka karuta god wills it so. Actually, Sudo-san has yet to play against Taichi thus far, right...? 
*fingers cross* my memory please come backkkk
Tumblr media
Lmao, bit early for this pairing to be exciting, considering the last round of team tournament at Omi Jingu. But I would like to see this senpai again, for sure. His puppy love for Rion is so hopeless lol.
Tumblr media
It sure is the thread of fate lol. Awww, I do like this President Cheers/Yoroshiku. 
Tumblr media
Poor Nishidaaaa, gambatte ne. 
Tumblr media
With Chi-chan and Taichi growing by leaps and bounds and having exciting reunions with friends and rivals, it can be easy to forget about the lower-level players like Tsutomu-kun. To think that it only took him about a year (or less?) to reach class B. That, in itself, is quite the feat and his progress deserves all the recognition and spotlight from before and here onwards. While class B proved to be more challenging than he expected, and Tsutomu-kun has a long way to go before becoming a strong player, I do hope that he will have more chances to show his resolve and be more than a supporting character. 
Tumblr media
“I should have known a class B match wouldn’t be like class C.”
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, this is as far as he got in this tournament. I find it such a shame that we won’t get to see more of Tsutomu-kun the karuta player for now, but I understand that the narrative is building up something spectacular for the trio in Yoshino so Tsutomu-kun’s early elimination would help with the story’s focus, which has been a little all over the place in this episode. 
Tumblr media
Before moving on, some appreciation from the girl who has been walking the same path with him since the beginning. 
Tumblr media
Kanatomu has always been my comfort ship, especially whenever Taichihaya feels like the most hopeless thing ever. Kana-chan’s openly-expressed affection and care for Tsutomu-kun is truly balm for the soul.  
Tumblr media
“You said were going to win so I wanted to be there to see it.”
Tumblr media
Both Kana-chan and Tsutomu-kun are the quiet strength that supports and holds the team together. They make for an adorable couple-to-be, with all the chemistry that any pairing could ever hope to have. 
Tumblr media
Back to the class A matches, it is with another untimely elimination that this episode ends on.  
Tumblr media
Nishida’s tenacity was amazing as always, but I wished that we could have seen more of his match against Sudo-san. At least his Nikuman roll. 
Tumblr media
Overall, this episode is a bit of a mixed bag. I do get pumped for the upcoming matches of Chi-chan and Taichi, as well as reunion match(es) with Arata but I am not so sure about two eliminations in one go. I don’t enjoy seeing support characters being used so blatantly as plot devices, especially when they barely have any screentime. Nonetheless, this speaks to Chihayafuru’s strength in character writing, in how the series really gets viewers invested in all characters, regardless of how brief their appearance or their importance to the main storyline. 
Tumblr media
Wow, I am here, at the end of my post on the 2nd episode. I still can’t believe that it took me so long to finish it. All the excuses I could have said I did, so allow me to leave you with these parting words. 
Tumblr media
Even while in the thick of GI, Chihayafuru still colored my world. There are many reasons as to why one would choose to pull for Kazuha, but for me, it was how he embodies classical Japanese poetry and aesthetics, and manifests it in every aspect of his character design and lore. I literally decided to pull for him because of his maple-themed kimono (which feels so quintessentially Japanese to me) and the name of his Elemental skill - “Chihayaburu”. It doesn’t hurt that his kit (skills) is awesome and totally kicks ass, but truly, I was sold at the moment I saw the leak with his Elemental skill’s name.
Tumblr media
And while his “Chihayaburu” does not come from Chihaya’s favorite poem #17, it is still a reference to classical Japanese poetry - the Man’yoshu, or “Ten thousand leaves” collection. And the more you dig into Kazuha’s character, there are more references, like in the voice-overs for his Burst animation (a splendid affair of maple leaves caught in whirlwind) and his musing on maple leaves (in which he recited Ogura Hyakunin Isshu’s poem #5). In a character demo video, Kazuha is also shown to be composing a haiku, while wandering the world. 
There is so so much about Kazuha that appeals to me, and it would take much longer than 2 paragraphs to say it all, but all in all, it is the Japanese poetry so richly imbued in his design and character that speaks to me. And I would not have any appreciation of that, had I not been exposed to it in Chihayafuru.  
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading thus far, lovelies! I’ll be dashing off to watch the 3rd episode now! See you, for sure.

The Fault in Our Starts
Let's kinda dig up more Zodiac-slanted shizzumz and do some auditing, shall we?
Slept better but again, woke up at around 4 AM. As I was scheduling a meeting next week, I realized that there are two holidays. WHOA. Biking szn na talaga ito, again. YAS.
So, Zodiacs. Let me be clear that this is but a curation of my lived truths as we try to debunk the myths that go with it. Mother dragon gauged all XX and XY based on their signs and birth years. This workflow covers all people I interact with. Friends, family, and ahem, landi tribe. She truly believes that there's bearing in these even when she is a Marian and a devout Catholic. Must be because my godparents are 99% Fil-Chi, but heck, she didn't have a single lucky charm except me, her baby donut. CHZ.
This is the first time that I'm counting whether or not I've dated all the Zodiacs, so I'm not so sure how this will pan out. To add some twist, I'd also try recalling their birth order. Not sure though if I can actually retrieve them from my defunct memory bank. Let's go. Baka may tama na naman mother dragon ko sa deep-ish dive na 'to.
Aquarius. Damn. We're actually starting strong. Only child. Silent but selos levels 10000000000. Creative-ish and thinks too deeply. Will make the effort to be with you wherever and whenever you go. Kaya kang hanapin sa Raon-Quiapo 'pag ayaw mong sagutin phone mo. Borderline stalking which appeared sweet at first, but, fuck. I cannot. Holds back feelings a lot, but had many outbursts, especially when selos levels hit home.
Pisces. Ohhh. This one's interesting. Apart from checking the spelling right now, this one's really devoted. As a Water sign, the emotions are intense; but I guess, more than the zodiac, it's because of being a middle child. We actually started with small talks, that escalated real quick to deep and dark and delulu conversations. Probably, one of the most dedicated ones; but blinded dedication is crazy. How crazy? Willing to wait even when all signs say unavailable.
Aries. OWEEEM. Middle child ulit. UGH. Very, very strong personality and dominant... but hey, it's me! The chaos, the ego battles, the non-stop banters. Magaling mamikon. Once the ego is tamed and vanquished, this Aries will be loyal but will appear distant. Badly put, ayaw umamin ng tama at mali niya. Will show you grand gestures but without the words to back it up. One of the most intense and life-changing encounters I've had, because Aries people are not backing down when they say that they are dead serious. Note: Mom said, Aries is my most ugh ka-sign. :D But hey, dad ko is an Aries. Hahahahaha. Just saying.
Taurus. The zodiac I am staying away from. Hear me out, first. My twin Taurus towers are my strongest and most meaningful connections in my entire herstory. LOL. And, look where it got me... they died too early. I always feel bullied ng Bulls, as in. :( Why so? Give na give na give na give na dinaig pa pagiging self-giving ko.
One of the most graphic date-hiritan-habulan in my book is with Taurus. Bunso, so pabebe matic naman na. Taurus e. Kinda like Aries but in terms of hambog, mas less ng slight. Won't keep up with BS. Won't mince words. Won't back down. Aggressive but with preno and buga na laging pang-gulat. But, very, very, very devoted and has a really, really kind heart and strong spirit. Ilalapag lahat sa harap mo. Ikaw na lang bahala paano mo i-take. Misjudged malimit kasi parang walang pake, pero meron, meron, meron. Also, this Taurus is sakitin kaya no choice but to be maselan. Dahil yata sa Taurus na 'to na 'di nag-reveal ng birthday niya until sa kalagitnaan na ng kaganapan, stress levels 10000000000. I even asked kung talaga bang birthday niya is ____ a few times. Then, ekis na agad. Sorry na kasi. Tinanong pa ako kung anong problema, sabi ko fuck off. Never again. Made up elaborate excuses, too, kasi maka-debate, akala mo Miting de Avance. Hayup.
Note: While I steer clear of Taurus, 2023 has been a Taurus town in my book. FUCK. So 'pag may birthday greetings ako ng Taurus szn, I freeze and retreat, a lot. TBT, though, Taurus may be one of my most intentional signs to date. FML. So, iwas-Taurus szn continues. Hahahahaha.
Gemini. Wala akong matandaan. Sorry. Baka walang nag-stick. Hahahahaha.
Cancer. HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Bunso. May pattern ang sign na 'to. Falls in love easily and gets bored a lot. Shemay. Emotions are spot on. Akala mo may Netflix series kang aabangan. Stubborn and will try their best to win you harapan most of the time. Sentimental, homebody and romantic. Very easy to please. UGH. Very interesting din kasi Cancerians are deeply rooted sa family but appears to be lone wolves. Delulu levels 10000000000. Gusto ka ng patirahin agad-agad sa bahay awardee kahit saglit pa lang kayo magkakakilala.
Note: This is the reason why I CTRL + ALT + DEL my feelings and feeling ko talaga Aries-Taurus with sprinkles of Cancer akong nilalang. Ayokong maging tulad ng mga 'to 'pag tanda ko. LOLOLOLOLL.
Leo. Quick one lang 'to kasi cutie kagulo szn, so parang not counted. Bunso, if I remember it right. Hahahahahaha. Though date is full of adventures and misadventures. Ma-ego ang Leo, 'yun lang.
Virgo. SHET na malagkit 'to. Panganay. Vindictive levels 100000. Too traditional that's too boring for me, pero naman, 'wag ka, when no one's around, wagas maging aggressive. Obsession levels 1000000. Buntot levels 100000000000. UGH. Sensitive but will appear independent and unbothered. Likes overhearing conversations online and offline, a lot. So kung gusto mo 'yung "you and me and only us against the world" partner, baka pang-Virgo ka. Try mo.
Libra. Pang-balance talaga. Only child. Hmmm. Another interesting one kasi super calculated ang risk ng Libra na 'to. Kung baga, gusto niya sigurado. Walang mintis. Too peaceful borderline timid but there'd be times na the scales are off. And when that happens, lagot. LOL. Silent snob geek. Pero, what I like best is we had the craziest laughs and I was able to cry din naman because Libra is a good listener. Less doer lang o baka siya lang 'yun as a sedated soul.
Scorpio. Sizzling. Feeling only child. HAHAHAHAHHAHA. Sexual tension is off the roof. And they're not afraid to showcase their goodies even when they're fully clothed. Ganun. Very sentimental and 'yung pagka-deep, madalas 'di ko maarok. Too indie also. LOL. Craves and carves their own space as they wait for the deadly sting.
Sagittarius. I think wala pa rin kasi feeling ko lang naman, kawawa sila since same lang Xmas gift and birthday gift nila. LUH. Anong connect?
So, buti naman, hindi tayo naka-12 out 12 for today's kagulo sa utak session. Reading the stuff above, pare-pareho lang din kasi mga tao. I argue with mom a lot na, kesa i-box 'yung mga tao based sa sign nila, bakit ba hindi na lang maging fair game for all? Lahat naman kasi talaga may flags -red, beige and green, right? Also, as a Cancer myself, while I may have qualities of the Crab, it does not mean that I am all that. Nature versus nurture pa rin talaga. And, I think, zodiac dating is but a grand alibi. Mala-Fallacy of Love. LOL. Hala.
Habol muna sa mga trabahong bahay na tambak because I'm nursing a broken nail na sumagad sa laman nung kuko ko. Pointer finger pa 'to. :( Plus work and hustles weekend because it's a long weekend. I will try my best to down so much work para sa Japan trip kong may 1% chances of winning and winging it. Pampagana forda bonus and bills and bahay in 2024. Plus, really, really excited sa mga kaganapans and at the same time, may halong takot of the unknown as a people watcher. Sigh. Though I'm not part of alignments na pangmalakasan. Start up girl ako, kaya I'm but trying my best to make the most out of what's on my plate as I try to break down silos kahit sobrang daling maging aggressive-aggressive mode because, the silos are thin and shaking. 'Yung pitikin ko lang, giba na; but, iba na ako ngayon. Hahahahahaha. 'Wag lang sa core values ko. Ako lang naman 'yun. Sa tingin ko lang sa takbo ng mga ganaps. PS1: I was backreading posts and my oh my, I realized na this thought fart corner has been evolving. Mas maganda structure ko the past years to be honest. BUT, I do this style because I'd like to keep up with slang and para ma-practice ako mainam for work and life after work. ALSO, mas wala na akong subtext ngayon compared noon na hindi ko na rin malaman kung ano 'yung imagined and ano 'yung reality. Mas buo na rin ako ngayon. Mas hindi takot kahit takot much pa rin. SKL. Bye for now.

im considering rewatching sweet home and new address already again because it genuinely helped me with my japanese lol. i was taking a test last week and like ofc chi is for children so the language is more simple and im able to better understand it so it helped me to remember words and sentence structure. i had to draw chi on my test even to help me remember a word. it worked too

people in the anime section of tumblr will call out random people for watching some anime they deem “problematic” and just ignore the fact that their favourite anime has the same issues and most of the time even more of them
