PART 2 OF MY SECONDARY SCHOOL POSTS!! since i recently rbed something about them thinking about doing school-centric pips and what it means for both my own lore and how i might interpret more of these into canon... +_+
storm/myth
the two sides of a violent coin; the yearning to create, to consume as much as possible, before destroying it with your own hands. it feels like the wild beat of rain against your face, of wet ink smearing across your fingertips, a gold-tipped nib piercing through paper. it looks like the eye of the storm in the worst typhoon you’ve ever seen—but your mind is as clear as day.
life/death
it’s the idea that you are part of the cycle—when something is born, it ultimately dies, and that’s it. but you can bring life to it once more, and you do. it looks like gold pouring into the cracks of a shattered pot like kintsugi, feels like the first breath you take after being brought back from death in the heat of battle. 
balance/life
it feels like the flora already knows of your own destiny before you do—twisting vines that mangle and warp themselves across ancient ruins; that there is a cycle that even you cannot escape from. it’s the toll of a grandfather clock, the first leaf of a baby sprout, and it’s the indescribable feeling in your chest that feels a connection to the old, oaken trees. 
myth/ice
it feels like a brain freeze—unable to move until it's over, clawing at your head as information files itself neatly into stacks against your skull, or spills into your mind like papers thrown hastily off a desk. visions come blinding and bright, and laid before you is a path of snow, footsteps already leading to your destination.
fire/storm
it feels like the low, dark rumble of an incoming thunderstorm; as lightning crashes upon tumultuous ocean waves. the thick stench of ozone descends upon them; passion that burns away to anger, bubbling hot and low in their stomach until they explode violently and messy like a volcano, leaving ruin in their wake.

Ride 769: Danchiku's “escape”

4: I raised it too
Tumblr media
Pag 18
1: My pressure, to tell him “if it's you, you can do it”!!
2: I am “team SS”!!
3: I can do it!!
Garuaagh!!
4: Hahaha, if you don't hurry he'll get away, San-na!!
That's called Panda Shout!! That acceleration is terrific!!
5: Talking like that is your strategy to get me to use up my legs, Orange!!
Hahaha of course, you've finally noticed!!
Tumblr media
Pag 19
2: I've noticed from the start, though
Is-is that so!?
Well, can't be helped. My plan to defeat him by using pressure alone was a failure
This time I'll use my legs
3: I'll show you my running that I've tempered thoroughly this past year!!
4: The sprint is now down to us three
As expected, there's no one who can catch up to us from there!!
Tumblr media
Pag 20
1: In that group behind us!!
2: Pedal more
Let's catch up to them before they get out of sight!!
Gallop!!
Mokkosu!!
4: From behind us, another.... two people!?
Are catching up!?
5: It's two guys from the selected team!!
Tumblr media
Pag 21
1: I'm so glad, we caught up with the lead!!
We were pulled by Doubashi-san but we got tore off a little later
You worked hard, you two!
Yeah, somehow!!
2: The leader of our team, Sugimoto-san, negotiated with Doubashi-san fro us
3: Our number has increased so we still have a chance!!
We'll chase Sohoku and Hakogaku that are ahead
Yeah!!
And we'll fight for the green number bib!!
4: Alright, senpai, I'll pull
“Two people” who caught up?
No
5: There's one more person!!

Personally, I think it was a spur of the moment kinda thing. Diluc let slip some words he did not completely mean in his fit of rage like "you don't belong here" or "never show your face here again" or something along those lines and Kaeya internalized it to the point he kicked himself out the winery
The staff knows they had a fight and Kaeya left but they don't know the details of it, whether Diluc officially kicked him out or if Kaeya left on his own volition. Diluc doesn't stop them treating Kaeya as they used to but doesn't really encourage them either. So it's more of a don't ask-don't tell typa thing going on
!!! ANON I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS ON MY POST
Diluc must have said something that Kaeya twisted(on purpose or subconsciously). All it would take is for anyone to say the wrong thing once, and Kaeya would take it and run with it (eg. his biological father's parting words to him).
Damn you Kaeya and your wild imagination!! (he just like me fr)
What if Kaeya took Diluc's selling of their original mansion as a sign that Diluc didn't want him to stay there? Thus, the "throw me out" comment that went along with it... and in addition, Diluc's confusion about said comment because that was not what he intended when he sold said mansion.
Also i think that Adelinde and Elzer (if not the senior staff who were already there) must have known of their fight (with or without details) and yet of their own choice choose to treat Kaeya as still another master of the home and call him as such (did Diluc really not talk to them about it? Does he not care for it? Did the staff stand their ground on the matter? Or does he secretly support it and doesn't do any encouraging in front of Kaeya in case Kaeya activates his fight or flight response? We don't know their discussions while we are not around after all hnghh)
So like... the entirety of the senior staff of Dawn Winery are trained to keep their thoughts to themselves maybe?? Same with Crepus, Diluc, and Kaeya (coz wow did Crepus keep his secrets too)
tbh, Kaeya is such an unreliable narrator (due to his lies or misconceptions), while Diluc just doesn't talk at all (not in front of the traveler, to be specific). They're both two sides of the same coin where said coin is there to keep us guessing (coz its technically none of our business as the traveler HAHAHA)

Hi! 3,4 and 24 for ganondorf, for the character ask 👋😌
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
How he barely, if ever, gets to interact with the Gerudo. He is described as the one male born every 100 years, as their king, their guardian, and their hero, respected by his people and hated by a select few, the interviews around TotK suggesting that Zelda was to learn what being a ruler meant by observing the way Ganondorf and Rauru ruled their people but we never see any of that. If Ganondorf is middle-aged/older, then he must have been ruling his people for enough of a stretch of time for word to have gotten out on if he was an oppressive ruler or not. It just frustrates me that the writing is entirely committed to describing him as evil and power hungry, then also giving him very distinctive character traits and then refusing to elaborate on any of them. It's like they're afraid that if they give Ganondorf any other personality trait that it might lessen his impact as an evil demon king. Personally, the fact that they double down on not giving him any personality just encourages me to view him as less evil hahaha.
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
As someone who imagines stupid scenarios all the time, I think if he were put in a world like One Piece his character would be viewed in a completely different light. He could be someone like Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard, well learned of the world, well aware of the oppressive nature of the World Government and their claims to rulership, manipulating their rules to his own ends, and then breaking free of their influence to become a powerhouse of his own, willing to break the rules, recruit those that share similar agendas, arrogant and comfortable in his own power, and probably of the belief that he could rule his seas a lot better than the World Government can. He would still be an antagonist, but probably given a lot more character. Another one would absolutely be Overlord, where he would finally get to be the protagonist overthrowing heroes and kings who have grown complacent and corrupt under the notion of their divine and privileged bloodlines to enforce his own dark rule.
24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
Marshall D. Teach and Luffy in turn, though both characters are basically two sides of the same coin personality and ambition-wise, willing to punch up at higher forces all the time. Beelzemon for his status as demon king yet being a loner who does things on his own and wants to fight and overpower powerful opponents as a marker of his own power. I think Ganondorf is enough of a blank slate that he can easily relate to other characters I see in other media.
Questions here!

Oh, please lets talk about BKDK! Don't not talk about them on my account, hahaha. As cheesy as it may sound, I've had a lot of self searching and self learning because of them. I've unlearned a lot of things I was brought up with just by following their story, so please! Let's talk about them more! No matter how you look at it, those two are soulmates and each other's most important person, this includes each other's family. Inko has been a loving presence in Izu's life, but we don't know anything about his dad, and I have... thoughts about Kats' parents, so it is so, so important to me that they have at least each other to look out for. I have read the manga, and I'm currently caught up and DYING BECAUSE OMG.
I AM SO SORRY I LEFT THIS FOR SO LONG
I kinda got lost in tears of the a kingdom for a little while and work’s been exhausting so I kept getting distracted 😭 I’m sorry!!!
Every time I come back to MHA I find new things about Kat and Izu that I didn’t catch the first few times around and I love that!! This is probably erring a little on the meta/technical side of things but it says so much about the consistency of the character development when every little detail fits seamlessly into the narrative for that character so MHA is a dream come true for me. It’s such a masterpiece of storytelling and character development
I’m gonna go way off on a tangent now lol but the first time I watched the show I did not trust Kat at all. I thought they were going to shovel him into a villain arc and so I didn’t get attached. I honestly thought that was the lazy route and that we’ve seen it over and over again so I was kinda just waiting for it to happen but let me tell you I was thrilled that they didn’t do that to him. and then I realized we were looking at two sides of what it means to be a hero in Kat and Izu and boy was I hooked on them from that moment on. I’m such a sucker for the opposite-sides-of-the-same-coin thing and boy does bkdk deliver
(Also just the grumpy/sunshine dynamic though let’s be real I’m so soft for that kind of content)
I have got to find time to read the manga. This is the perfect time to do it too!! How long has it been since you found MHA?

Things Money Can't Buy
Kuroda's Christmas 4★ story (1/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: Christmas live painting | Characters: Kuroda, Gauguin, Van Dyck, Rubens, Aoi/MC
Tumblr media
Gauguin: Merry Christmas! We're distributing Christmas cards! If you like, you can take one.
Child 1: Hey, Mom! It's a Christmas card! Can I get one?
Child 2: Me too! I want a Christmas card!
Mother: Fufu, alright. Mom will be waiting for you here, so take care.
Children: Alriiight♪
Aoi: There are some fans of the artists, but there are a lot of kids, just because it's Christmas.
Rubens: As expected, it's not a big deal.
Van Dyck: Their Christmas outfits are quite beautiful, too.
Aoi: Rubens-san and Van Dyck-kun! You came!
Rubens: Yes, we had some free time in my schedule, so Tony and I came by to see how things were going.
Van Dyck: Even so, we have to get back soon.
Child 3: Mr. Santa! Give me a Christmas card!
Rubens: Ara, the kids are gathering around Kuroda-chan.
Van Dyck: That guy, he's got a very sharp tongue, will it be okay? Won't he make the children cry?
Aoi: It should be okay indeed... Maybe…
Child 4: Hey, I was first in line, okay? Don't step in!
Child 3: I was in line before you!
Kuroda: Hey, you guys, no fighting.
Children: But…
Kuroda: Today is Christmas and it's much better to get along than to fight. Why don't you apologize properly and try to make up?
Child 3: I'm sorry…
Child 4: I'm also sorry…
Kuroda: Well done. Here's a present for you good kids.
Child 3: Wooow, a Christmas card! Thanks, Mr. Santa!
Van Dyck: Aah… Come to think of it, Kuroda was very back-and-forth.
Rubens: At least he wouldn't break that attitude in front of the guests or the kids. Fufu, not many people can be that thorough.
Child 3: Hey hey, Mr. Santa! Did you draw this?
Kuroda: Yes, all the Christmas card pictures and floats were made by all the Santas here.
Child 3: Amaazing! Mr. Santa is so good at drawing! I've never done much drawing. It's more fun to play outside!
Child 4: Me too! Playing chase is the most fun for me!
Hey, Mr. Santa. Is it fun to draw pictures?
Kuroda: Of course. Not only art is fun, it also enriches the soul.
Child 4: Hmm? How much fun is that? More than playing chase?
Kuroda: It's up to each person to decide what they find enjoyable. Just as you have the most fun playing chase, I have the most fun painting. You guys should try to draw something if you have a chance.
Child 4: Hmm, there are many more interesting things to do than drawing.
Kuroda: Of course, I don't mean to force you to do so. It's only a matter of if there is an opportunity.
Van Dyck: … Kids really don't know what to be afraid of. I can't believe someone could go in and ask Kuroda that kind of question.
Rubens: Fufu, indeed. But even if he's dealing with a child, it's Kuroda-chan-like to give a proper answer…
Children: Bye, Mr. Santa!
Kuroda: ... Phew, they're finally gone. Still, those were some noisy monkeys.
Van Dyck: And he's back to the usual teacher…
Rubens: It's so refreshing to see two sides of the same coin. It feels kind of nice.
Aoi: Hahaha…
(I'm impressed that the guests didn't notice anything…)

— ☕︎ THRIFT STORE
synopsis: thrift store adventures with itadori yuji
a/n: this was from a hc from my white day event and i liked the idea so i expanded on it :)
pairing: itadori yuji x reader
genre: fluff!!
wc: 805
thank you @kohis-simp for beta-ing! <3
Tumblr media
"Hey hey, Yuji! Try these on, they look so funny!!”
Itadori took the pair of bright yellow sunglasses that were pineapple shaped from your hands and slid them onto his face, glancing at the mirror on his right and his face lit up with a  beaming smile towards his reflection. 
“HAHAHA oh my god they do!! But pineapples are pretty cool you know,” he laughed wholeheartedly as he put the glasses back where you found them, before continuing to run his hands along the long racks of clothes in the store. 
The two of you have never been to a thrift store before, and you wished you had much sooner. Who knew you could have so much fun in such a place? You didn’t know, but maybe it was because you were with Itadori. Just his mere presence made everything much more entertaining, and seemingly more worthwhile.
Itadori’s hand suddenly stopped, his eyes locked on a certain item that piqued his interest. The item in question was a very large navy blue jacket with some frayed embroidery on the left side of the chest. He yanked it off its flimsy white hanger and tried it on, giving you a small twirl and his signature bright smile. 
“What d’ya think? Don’t I look pretty cool?” he exclaimed, striking a small pose. You could only giggle at his antics, nodding your head in response to his question. The jacket seemed to engulf him, but it looked charming on him and quite cute actually. 
With a mischievous grin, you suddenly lunged forwards towards him, wrapping your arms around his torso under the huge jacket. The jacket slightly slid off his shoulders when you tried to insert your arms through the sleeves with his in them already. 
“You look great bubs, but this jacket is so big that both of us fit in it!”
“Hmm then maybe we should buy it after all. We can wear it together and stay close like this all the time!!” Itadori suggested, his eyes bright with excitement and your face heated up slightly at his bold recommendation, though you couldn’t stop yourself from smiling at him. It seemed like anything he did could make your heart swell. 
You two continued to look around at the thrift store, taking note of anything that caught your eye like this bright yellow long coat, an angry bird hat, an awful looking pair of pants that had a bootleg design of the Mona Lisa on them, and surprisingly a few arcade game coins inside a hidden pocket of funny looking purse. 
You thought this place was a gold mine, not only it fitted your budgets but also because of the amount of pleasant surprises you’ve received in your visit here today. Yet a part of you couldn’t help but think, maybe it was truly Itadori’s doing to make this place as enjoyable as it has been. Whatever it may be, thrift stores now held a special place in your heart. 
As you two made your way towards the checkout to pay for your items, Itadori suddenly stopped while looking at the complete opposite direction of the cashiers. His eyes sparkled at the mysterious items and you turned your head the same way in curiosity, your eyes catching on something that reminded you so much of times in the past that were much simpler than it was now as a sorcerer. 
In the corner at the very back of the store, there was a section for hero costumes and props. It was a fairly small section compared to the large store but their selection was surprisingly vast, another pleasant surprise to your date. 
You met Itadori’s look while giving each other a firm nod and soon the both of you ran towards the costume section. You couldn’t help but to look around in awe. The vast amount of racks upon racks of costumes,  wigs of all kinds being displayed on the higher shelves and props were jumbled together in a box to the side. It was like a dream around the two of you.  
Itadori grabbed a sword that was closest to him and took a random wig from the shelves. He quickly put it on and struck a while semi-shouting a poor impersonation of a villain. 
“MUAHAHA I AM THE EVIL KING!! YOU SHALL NOW KNEEL BEFORE ME!!”
“Oh no~ I’m so scared someone please save me~” you impersonated a civilian in distress. 
The two of you just started to burst out laughing at your own antics. The whole thing was a little dumb, but it was so fun. You two kept changing outfits and making impersonations of your favorite heroes and villains, good memories flooding back from the past. The trip to the thrift store was truly a ride to the good times from the past.

A Welcome from Sumeru
Tumblr media
This is how I want my OC to meet the traveler.
:)
Tumblr media
“Paimon is starting to feel very… slime.”
“Slime?” You ask.
“Yeah! Like… jelly.”
The traveler only nods, having noticed their companion talk less since entering the deserted land to reach Sumeru.
“Argh! We just left Inazuma where everyone looked strange at us to walk around for hours without seeing anyone! Paimon is even starting to worry if we are heading in the right direction.”
Hearing that, you decide to check your map again. Lisa had helped a lot when giving it to you, marking where she remembered to have identification spots to make the travel easier to reach the Oasis city.
And it does seem like you have lost your way at some point.
Looking around, there doesn't seem to be any landmark to explain where exactly you are. If you two are lost, then it would be better to wait for the stars to come out at night and find more precise directions again.
“Paimon is getting hungry. Do we still have any leftover from that Sweet Madame?”
She hovered closer, eyes sparkling at the thought of food. You ponder between giving it to her or not. In the end, seeing as no one knows how long it will take to reach the city, you tell her to eat later.
“But Paimon is really hungry! And Paimon knows you are too! So stop being a worry-head and let me eat something!”
Letting out a sigh, the traveler took out some food and both sat down to eat. It doesn't take long for something to happen.
“It’s another vishap again! Are these lizards following us?!”
While Paimon screams, you take out your blade to prepare for battle. Since entering this deserted land, geovishaps have been attacking you more intensely than ever. Perhaps it's your tiredness, but they feel stronger when compared to the ones in Liyue.
“Ah!”
Being whacked back, your body hurts from the impact and your hand lets go of your sword mid-flight. With adrenaline pumping inside your veins, you prepare to deliver a geo attack even down.
But upon looking up quickly, you get to see the moment two arrows strike the enemy in the eyes from behind you. It makes the monster tumble to the side before falling dead.
Turning your head, a tanned stranger with a bow seems to silently observe you.
“Are you ok? Did you break something?” Paimon flies over from where she had hidden. Tiny hands patting your body to make sure of your wellbeing.
The stranger squint their eyes behind rose-tinted glasses. With long steps they reach for your travel bag and food that have been forgotten to the side.
In swift movements, your bag of mora is in the stranger's hand.
“Hey! Those are ours, you thief!”
The tall woman scoffed at Paimon.
“Thief? I am no thief. Would I have helped if I was only after your money?” Reaching inside the bag, she takes five large coins before throwing the bag to you.
“Well, maybe not…? Still! It's not right to pick things from others like that! Right?” Paimon finishes looking at you for support.
You stand up, backing up your friend's opinion about the newly met stranger and her actions.
“Geez. You two are asking to be killed.”
Your blood runs cold from that. Even Paimon hides behind you when sharp pink eyes glance at you. Reading yourself to another fight, you get caught out of guard when the woman kneels and starts burying all the food you had left.
“Nooo! Paimon didn't even finish that!”
“Traveling with this type of ration. No wonder geovishaps keep ganging up on you.”
Some realization downs on the travelers head. You know how some life forms have a better sense of smell. So carrying something with such an appetizing smell, it was bound that monsters and animals would attack for it.
“Wait a second. How did you know this wasn't the first attack we suffered? Were you following us?!”
Instead of answering Paimon, the stranger stares at you for some time. You decided that there will be no better time for introductions than now. So that’s what you do.
“Sana from Sumeru.” It's her response, “Do you want me to escort you to the city? Travelers like you have less chance of arriving there in one piece without a local.”
Well, it would certainly help. You look at Paimon who is glaring at Sana.
“Or you could continue this wrong way and end up dying of thirst and hunger. It's not much of a problem for me anyway.”
You aren’t sure if Sana was joking.
“Ugh. Paimon doesn't like this, but we should follow her to Sumeru. When we arrive we will part ways right away! Delicious chicken wasted like that, so heartless…”
“Stop crying over food. Or do you want me to bury you instead?”
You intervene, saying that Paimon is emergency food now that there was no more Sweet Madame so there is no necessity to bury her.
“Stop saying that! It only makes Paimon angry now. It's not funny anymore!”
Ignoring the two of you, Sana starts to walk away. Quickly grabbing your stuff you run to stay close to her.
While following her, you ask about the five mora coins she grabbed earlier.
“What? It’s the payment for my escort. And from saving your butt back there. I don’t do things for free, sorry.”
She didn't sound apologetic at all. It has been some time since you met such a sardonic person. Even so, Sana doesn't appear to be a bad. To help someone in peril, there is no doubt the woman has some morals. Even if she's a bit rude about it.
“Since you are our guide now, can you tell us how to get to Sumeru? Or how the city is like?”
“I don't do small talk. And I'm not a travel guide. When escorting someone or a caravan, it's courteous on my part to keep my mouth shut. Paimon, right? Please try to understand my side.”
That made Paimon pout and get near you. In just one interaction Sana got to make your flying companion silent in their own volition. If that was not an achievement, it was impressive all the same. Most of the time Paimon speaks in your stead in dialogues.
So the trip goes like this:
Paimon talks and complains about Sana to you while the escort ignores and keeps her attention on the environment.
“Quiet, someone is here.” Is the order out of nowhere from Sana. It makes your friend shut up and glance around wary.
Using your elemental vision it is easier to see a thin trail left behind by something. For you it could be a rock slime or a lizard, but Sana’s head keeps turning. Almost like she is trying to hear something.
“Found you.” Is the warning, before the archer uses her elemental ability. Yellow vines surge from underground, pulling a man immobilized from it. Thorns make him grunt in pain as they dig his dark skin. A faint green glow on his clothes suggests him to be another dendro user.
“Wow, Deron! It’s been so long since we last saw each other.” Sana smirk and approached this Deron man. A cold breeze makes your hair stand on its end.
“Sana. You bitch!”
“Hahaha! Always the gentleman.” Her green ponytail danced with her outburst of laughter. “Say, are you here only to greet me?”
Deron doesn’t answer. His death glare to Sana didn't flinch.
“Deron, you empty headed child. Not answering is a type of answer. Who sent you?” She put a hand inside his tunic while asking, some blood getting on her tanned skin. A small bag of mora is the only sound breaking the silence.
After looking inside it, Sana gives it to you. Seeing how the men didn't speak, your escort sigh. She also takes his dendro vision, putting it in a hidden pocket on her trousers.
“You were always a pain for me. Why would it be different now? Well, it was nice seeing you again Deron.”
Taking his knife, Sana cut deep in his throat faster than anyone could blink. The sound Deron makes before dying is chilling to the bone.
When she turns to you again, Paimon hides behind you shaking in fear. You want to ask so many things, but nothing comes out when opening your mouth. She notices it nonetheless.
“Ah, him? Was an old friend from my last workplace. Wow, how time flies.” Her thumb point back to the body. The little splashes of blood on her face making her intimidating to look at.
After cleaning her hands, Sana grabs Deron’s purse from you again. A smile appearing on her serious expression.
“Heavy. I’d say… someone with power is after you already. What a great Welcome from Sumeru.”

When you were younger, did your mother or father ever let you open a few presents before Christmas or your birthday even arrived?  We open all our presents the night of Christmas Eve to begin with; but no, they don’t tease by letting us open a few of them before our usual schedule.
If you could receive a 100 dollar gift card for either blouses, pants, dresses, shoes or purses, which would you chose?  If I could change blouses to shirts, then I would go with that because I’ve recently gotten into t-shirts and sweatshirts and no longer the trendy and preppy tops I used to like haha. But if not, I would go for shoes.
What is your favorite thing to do after crying? Ex: Sleep, listen to music, have some alone time, talk to someone, etc?  It varies as it depends on how much I cried. The harder I cried the more I’d want to sleep it off, because it can actually get pretty exhausting. Sometimes I’ll reach out, sometimes I write. It’s really different every time, but at the end I’m just glad I can no longer even remember the last time I cried out of sadness.
Do you think Trump will be assassinated, or will he survive his term?  Well we know the answer to this. It’s satisfying to notice him disappear off the face of the Earth immediately after his term, though. I don’t have a clue what he’s up to now.
Last time you felt suicidal?  For some reason I felt down last Thursday and I felt the slightest, slightest tinge of suicidal thoughts. No idea where it came from.
Last time you had butterflies?  Ugh idk but it was probably BTS-related hahahahahahah
Biggest asshole you know?  Certain politicians.
Did you ever leave someone because you know you’d hurt them?  No, I was on the opposite side of the coin for this one. I was broken up with because they believed they would hurt me, if not already doing so.
What song did you last listen to?  Hip Hop Phile by BTS.
Ever ridden in a police car?  Nopes.
Ever witnessed a murder?  Hmm, not that I can recall. I do remember having to monitor crime stories for one of my very first journalism assignments and the one time I didn’t tag along to the fieldwork with my classmates, they got to witness a stabbing incident :/ By itself of course it always sucks to have violent situations like those, but as a reporter it would’ve been interesting to see the scene and its aftermath.
Have you ever lied under oath?  I don’t think so, no. I can’t even remember the last time I was put under oath.
Have you ever failed a subject before? I’ve failed exams but never an entire class.
Have you ever had a deadly animal as a pet?  No.
Have you ever kissed someone of the same gender?  Well yeah, I dated one.
Have you ever been in a hot tub before?  Sure.
Have you ever been to a movie that sold out?  I’ve never experienced trying to buy tickets only to find out they’re all sold out, but that’s also probably because we have hundreds of malls in Manila alone and you can always find a theatre that are still offering tickets.
What movie last made you too scared to go to sleep?  I’m not usually that way with horror movies, but I do remember running into a jumpscare on TikTok while I was scrolling at 3 AM. Not fun.
When you’re on a laptop, do you hook up a mouse or use the touchpad?  Touchpad. I never use a mouse.
What’s your mom’s mom’s name?  Agnes.
Would it be hard seeing someone else kiss the person you like?  I’m not interested in anyone so this shouldn’t be a problem.
Have you ever been tempted to steal?  Sure, but the urge is never so strong.
What is the main character’s name in the book you’re reading? I’m not reading anything.
Do you have a favorite local band? Who are they? Nah. I did have a Ben&Ben phase, though I haven’t revisited their music in a long time.
Who’s the last person you saw naked, aside from yourself?  I’m not sure about completely naked, probably still my ex. As for partially naked, my dad sometimes goes shirtless at home as most Filipino dads do lol.
Who’s your favorite horror monster/killer?  The most iconic for me would be that porcupine looking ass from Resident Evil 4, I believe it was meant to be for one of the boss stages or something. Anyway, it’s memorable for me just because that fucker had been impossible to defeat and I loved watching my older cousin do attempt after attempt. I don’t think he ever got to beat him and by the time he did us cousins were already adults, lol.
On a side note, we called him ‘Porcupine’ as kids since a shitload of spikes would stick out of him unpredictably during the boss stage, and I thought that nickname had been just our thing; but I’m actually surprised that that villain actually comes up when you do a simple ‘Resident Evil 4 porcupine’ search haha. I guess other people called him the same thing too.
What kind of music do you prefer to listen to when driving?  I usually put on a playlist of BTS’ rapline; I tend to enjoy high-energy songs while driving.
Would you ever own a hairless rat, cat or dog?  I don’t see why I wouldn’t when it comes to the dog. I don’t want a cat or rat. 
All the people you’ve kissed, what did their names start with?  G.
What did you and your ex fight about most?  It was about the deeper, more profound stuff. We never saw eye to eye about the future, if we were helping the other grow, etc. Someone was always scared or insecure about something that the other could never help with fixing.
Don’t you love long hugs?  Sure, I love getting hugs as long as I’m comfy around the one giving it.
And long kisses?  Mhm, they’re nice.
Have you ever purchased condoms?  Only for Angela when she had still been too shy to ask for it herself. 
Have you ever gone on vacation with your boyfriend/girlfriend?  No. We had gone out of town for daytrips, but never for a fully-decked out vacation.
Have you ever trashed your ex’s car after an argument?  I wouldn’t do anything that loud. My resentment’s a lot more reserved and subtle, definitely on the passive-aggressive side.
Would you leave a note on a car claiming responsibility if you damaged it?  If I left like a paint scratch, no. If I was somehow stupid enough to manage wrecking the car then yes.
Have you ever used someone's handicapped parking pass to get a parking spot?  Oh that’s just gross. No. I do remember unknowingly parking over a spot meant for the handicapped once just because the paint was so fucking faded. It was genuinely so hard to tell but in the end I ended up just getting out of the spot and looked for another just to be on the safe, unassholey side.
Are you embarrassed to tell people your job?  Not at all! I love telling people I work in PR and sharing the brands I work with...it’s just a bitch trying to explain what exactly it is I do on a normal day. I’m still blanking out on it now that I’m thinking about it, haha. PR’s a challenge to summarize in one or two sentences.
If you ran over an animal would you keep driving?  I honestly have no clue how I’d deal with it. Ideally I would pull over and help bring it to the side of the road, and try to ask for help from passersby as well. I’m still not sure what I should/would do next.
Where’s the best place to eat a romantic dinner?  French, Spanish, and Italian restaurants always seem to carry a pleasant, date-y atmosphere to them, so any of those cuisines should be ok. I also like quieter restaurants with warm yellow lighting, since that makes me feel at home the most. The place definitely doesn't have to be super popular; I would just want for it to serve good food.
What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue?  Flying planes.
What would be the most amazing adventure to go on?  Probably something that’s booked with thrill-seeking adventures? Like a day of wakeboarding, paragliding, skydiving, riding an ATV...I would be exhausted as fuck and sleep for the next three days, but I can’t even begin to imagine how fun it would be.
When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with? Writing stuff. < Yeah, essentially. My friends ask me for general life advice too.
Has anybody criticized the way your significant other looked like?  Yeah. But I always defended her.
Have you written or drawn anything for somebody else?  I mean I’ve written long letters, but I haven’t made a poem or song for anyone.
Who has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished?  These days it would probably be Arlan. He just finished his Masters in Journalism at Columbia and I couldn’t be more proud. I remember wanting to attend Columbia too, but seeing how my love of journalism turned out...I’ve long accepted the fact that that route was not meant for me, hahaha.
What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?  Finish a painting, which can also serve as a callout to me lol.
What would you rate 10/10?  Seafood.
What do you hope never changes?  My relationships with my best friends.
Would you ever have sex with the last person you texted?  No, I barely have a clue who she is and she seemed decades older when she called me up this morning.
Is there anyone that you’d love to just spill your guts to?  I’m good.
Where is the person you have feelings at right now? 
Are you happy with your relationship status?  Yessssssss. I love not having to worry about another person to spend on LOL
When did you last cry? What for?  Two Saturdays ago. The one-year mark of my breakup had been coming up and an overwhelming wave of emotions just flooded me all of a sudden, I guess. There was happiness and relief from not being stuck in it anymore; feeling sorry for myself as I remembered the turmoil and deterioration I went through in the latter part the year; anger for the shit she pulled; and there was also just the general feeling of being grateful that I’m still here after everything.
Do you think you’re wasting your time on the person you love? 
When’s the next time you’ll kiss someone?  No clue. I’m not holding my breath for it and that’s okay.
Were you ever scared to death of anyone you knew? Or are you currently?  Yeah, unfortunately I’ve always been surrounded by at least one person who terrifies me.
What’s the longest you’ve been away from home by yourself?  Nothing more than a day. That’s something I have yet to try out.
Have you ever been made fun of, because of what you look like?  Athenna was relentless in her insults. I dunno why I was friends her for as long as I was.
Have you ever made fun of others, because of what they look like?  If they’re some random person on the internet with disgusting political views, then yeah; but it’s just thoughts I keep in my head and I never verbalized the bullying. But not anyone in real life. Do you think it’s cute when you’re leaving a place, and a guy says “no hug?”  If I’m friends with the person I’ll banter with them for a bit until I give in for a hug. If it was any other guy I barely know...I would be disgusted and throw them the dirtiest glare.
Do you wear short shorts (if you’re a girl)? I didn't know short shorts were specific to females. < LOL same. Anyway no, not these days. I used to but they’re not really a part of my personal style anymore.
Who are you the most uncomfortable around?  Relatives with the wrong political views.
Who has your heart?  Nobody.
Should cloning ever be allowed to happen?  I don’t see the point. No.
Are you impatient with really shy people? If it gets to the point that they seem aloof and radiate very I-could-not-care-less-about-getting-along-with-any-of-you vibes, then yeah I feel like I would get irritated pretty fast. But I was an extremely shy person once too, so I’m typically friendly with them and I would usually be That person who constantly stays next to them so they feel like they belong.
Does your house have air conditioning throughout, or do you have one that sits in your window?  It sits in the window, as with most households here.
What is the most ridiculous band name you’ve heard recently?  I haven’t encountered anything wacky recently.
Would you ever get a fashion mullet?  No.
Do you believe that Jesus lived and is returning?  No.
Do you believe in spiritual gifts?  No.
Do you believe in callings?  Not really, no.
If you were rich, would you get a professional photoshoot done?  Hell no. I get extremely sheepish in front of a camera and a thousand times worse at posing.

“Essentially say that gay people just don’t exist in South Korea is not only really homophobic it’s really insulting who live this life and those who support their friends and family members.”
1 - I agree 200% with the statement above. Honestly, I feel kinda sad seen how much people are so ignorant about the LGBT community and it’s history. Like, there are studies that says that doesn’t matter how much a society is homophobic, LGBT people will STILL exist in it and it will be in the same proportion of societies that accepts it. And it doesn’t matter if they decide to come out of the closet or not, THEY ARE STILL GOING TO EXIST.
2 - Like, in my country people are relatively more open about sexuality and about coming out and I still know people that aren’t out of the closet, and that’s ok because individuality exists either!
3 - It doesn’t take much to understand this like... who doesn’t know Oscar Wilde’s and Alan Turing’s history and context, for example?
4 - And honestly, it’s not a surprise kpop fans want to believe so bad that they are all straight, (even when this is statistically totally impossible), considering they are mostly straight girls who feels attraction towards them... But it would be good if some of them were at least a little more thoughtful I would say...🙃
5 - If people don’t like a shipp/or shipping that’s totally okay, but saying LGBT people don’t exists is SO out of reality.
6 - Imagine an LGBT idol/ any famous person from SK seeing people like this, that explains why it’s so much more interesting to keep their private life just private. Because they just wanna live and be happy like any other normal person. And it’s a shame cause people from SK could have much more representation in the mainstream media... And we all know that representation is very important in any form. ❤️
Please, don’t bother about answering this, I just got kind mad and had to make some comments. LOL.
And thank you for being so patient with this project!
Hi Anon! I know you said don’t worry about writing back but I have to it was really nice to wake up to a positive message🥺Like you, I’m also frustrated with the ignorance of lgbtq throughout history. Ancient Rome .. Sparta .. Japanese samurai and Japanese Buddhist monks all have historical notes related to this (and interestingly enough for Japanese Buddhist monks, heterosexual activity was considered a worse offense than homosexual activities, which was called a lapse in self control). The shift in Japanese acceptance of homosexuality was based on the Meiji Restoration + WESTERN cultural influence .. so I continue to be confused how people hold the west to such a pinnacle when you factor in things like that, or the acceptance rate of lgbtq in America in 2020. Not only that, the American FBI and the NVC, have noted since 2013 there has been a rise in crimes against lgbtq in America, especially to transgender and non-binary.
So for people to say the west is great, simply because gay marriage is legalized , and Korea is supposedly such a Stone Age country .. is just a level of ignorance that frustrates me. Lgbtq will exist, whether they’re out or not. And When the stats and various polls, research and natives say a country is getting progressive, and the numbers show it, I’m not following how this is looking at it with blinders on. The reality is they are getting better but again, you’ll never convince 100% of a population. It’s not possible. There ARE still homophobic people there (and as I previously mentioned, the COVID outbreak in itaewon is an example .. I didn’t sweep that under the rug in my argument as anon seems to have ignored..). I personally saw this was a big step, the Itaewon case received INTERNATIONAL attention and not only did people within Korea try to make President Moon say something (because yes while there is hate there are also those who defend), but people from the international community condemned South Korea’s handling of this issue and treatment of LGBTQ individuals. But the reality is, unfortunately there are homophobic people everywhere. Progression takes time. Plus, to that person who said watch YouTube videos.. there are also plenty of YouTube videos that have gone around South Korea interviewing people of all ages about this issue and they have recognized their own barriers and resilience to overcome them (e.g. saying that everyone has the right to love, recognizing that they don’t understand it but they come from a different generation and people are free to love how they want.) Granted these people also don’t make up an entire society, but it goes to show that there are two sides to every coin.
Like you said .. it’s not hard to understand homosexuality has existed in all centuries. Michaelangelo had a lover! And you’re absolutely right about representation. Normalization happens through representation, and a positive in that regard is seeing an increase in BL dramas, with Korea releasing two last year. Especially since Where Your Eyes Linger was considered amongst Korean fans one of the first BL dramas that wasn’t reliant on overt stereotypes of the gay community.
lgbtq people are going to exist regardless. It doesn’t matter what country or family they’re born into. I think Kpop is extremely toxic, and I agree it would be nice if people would be more considerate instead of being hell bent on painting lgbtq people out of the equation entirely. people think that individuals can just turn attraction on or off or that just because they’re South Korean means lgbtq don’t exist is merely perpetuating a narrative that is so engrained in society everywhere - not just South Korea - and is incredibly damaging. That Quora answer .. and the “western box” BS .. ahh I’m frustrated 😌
Ahhh as you can tell by me ranting in my answer to your positive commentary, this topic is something I’m quite passionate about hahaha😅I’m glad to read someone whose equally as passionate! 🥰 i really enjoyed reading your commentary and I’m sorry this ended up so long! And thank you for reading the blog 🥰💜I’m hoping we can get back to cute and more fun, fluffy topics now! I get sidetracked when I say I won’t anymore 🤣
Sara: Thank you for jumping in the conversation! I agree with your points 😌 The “western box” anon is quite infuriating.

Hello Ruri, with a few days until the end of snk, how do you feel? Do you think Isayama of a compelling ending (for you)? Do you have any criticism or something you didnt like about the final arc? Is there a death that you found unnecessary? What are your favorite characters? What couples do you like? (i mean other couples other than eremika)
I think there are several questions, but i like to read your opinions, i feel that you are a voice of reason whitin this chaotic fandom!
I wish you a good day (or night?) i hope this ask makes sense, english is not my language so i used a translator hahaha.
Hi anon!
Thank youuu! Don’t worry! I understood everything perfectly!
I’m... I feel weird. You know I expected the manga to end on January so these last months were... well... I wanted the manga to end soon because I already want part of the fandom to calm down. Once the manga ends, I thought it would bring peace but now I think this is just the beginning.
Now, personally, I feel just a bit sad and very excited.
Regarding the ending... I think that if Isayama goes for a last chapter with the same feeling of ch. 137+71 (bc of Carla’s words to Eren), It will be moving. If it’s compelling or not it depends on how Isayama manages to mantain the inner logic of the story. The meaning of sacrifices, Eren’s lines, Mikasa’s “the world is cruel but beautiful”, the idea that memories are important in order to be free from repeating the same mistakes... you know... what he showed us many times throughout the whole story. It would be a shame that he takes any of them back. And I’m confident he won’t move from those messages.
About the whole final Arc.... SUCH A WASTED POTENTIAL.... You know I’m also fan of Togashi but not because of HxH but a previous manga called Yu Yu Hakusho. It was a weekly manga and lasted 19 vols. The final arc had such an incredible and deep potential and since the mangaka was already tired of the series he rushed it so bad that everything happened off camera. Sad. I feel like Isayama went through the same just it wasn’t so evident as in Yu Yu Hakusho. In Yu Yu Hakusho, Togashi found the identity of this story in the last two arcs. To me it was the beginning actually... where everything could turn deeper and complex... In Isayama’s case, he started with a clear identity for his story. He built his whole world and story repeating over and over again the same topics with side characters just to culminate in the three main characters having to deal with the same struggles previous characters dealt with (often their own mentors f. ex. Levi with Erwin and Mikasa with Eren... With Levi being a mentor for her in regards of the mercy killing).
I argue non stop with a friend who says it’s rushed and nothing makes actual sense. I wonder if it’s needed to show again the same struggles Mikasa is going through when we already saw it with Levi for example. Wouldn’t it be unnecessary if Isayama is deliberately choosing to show us that every character is the same and feels the same? That would be Eren’s concept that every human is the same... So some fans feel like Isayama just ruined Eren’s character because he didn’t develop him properly.. bc he hid his POV, whereas I think he just hid it because he wanted us to find Eren’s feelings and reasons in his previous developments and in other characters. Thinking about the fact that the coordinate and Eldians are there to connect them, I think it’s all an artistic decision... “Go and find Eren’s pieces in every story I told you before”.
On that matter, you see how discardable every side character was. One of Isayama’s flaws is that he uses his characters as blank puppets for the story, once they showed the topic he needed for the macro story, he kills them or “sidelines” them. Hanji as the best example. Since Isayama needed Armin to be the commander and for that he needed Hanji out of the picture, there you have it. I don’t really mind it but for a story that may have fans that like just one character who’s not one of the three main characters it may be discouraging. He is not really good at fanservice inside the canon. Or the way he handled Historia. A lot of fans of her dropped the story because of that. He had no remorses on sacrificing her just to show how every character lost something because of the rumbling. Again, I don’t mind it... I even respect it because he had no scruples to sacrifice a character just for the big concept he had. But I get not every fan is prepared to endure such decision.
On the topic of deaths... if they were necessary or not... For Isayama death is not a big deal. I guess his main concept is that lives are something like a coin you can trade for a change. He chose to make characters immortal through the memories of the living. As I said before, Hanji’s death was rushed and too instrumentalized. If he had displayed everything a little different, it would have been better.
As a side comment... Isayama’s virginal writting way may be a thing if he wants to write more mature content in his next works... --> comment for a friend of mine... he has indeed to improve his kissing scenes so they look more natural.
As favourite characters.... well... I like every character. I got to like every character even if they are evil because they are needed for the story. I like characters that are mistaken too because they portray through those flaws how humans truly are. My first is Levi of course and he will always be. Then EMA and Kenny. I have something for Ackermans as you see. As female character I relate to... Annie. I got to like Erwin and Reiner too. Falco is one of the new characters I like since the beginning.
And couples... all the canon couples. Falbi, Aruannie, Yumihisu. I enjoy how every couple had its own leitmotiv but all of them were in the end about freedom and how love can defy the chains of destiny. (And how Isayama just crushed them all without mercy...again, in order to show that in that cruel world full of wars there’s no way to enjoy love... However... change may come if we are lucky...)
So... That’s it! :)
Thanks for the ask! <3 Have a great day/night!

BNHA Rewatch: Episode 61 “Deku vs Kacchan Part 2″
 mysterylover123
O.T.P.
Tumblr media
This is gonna get kinda emotional.
Tumblr media
Deku is turning Kacchan’s fight proposal down. Dammit Deku! He’s being serious!
Tumblr media
Hoo boy that Kacchan face. No light in his eyes. That realization, just…just bleeding through…hoo boy.
Tumblr media
“If the way you admired him was correct, does that mean my way of thinking was wrong?” OMG ITS HAPPENING. HE’S REALIZING IT YA’LL.
Tumblr media
The flashbacks to bb Deku and Kacchan the feels.
Tumblr media
The white void, it’s just the two of them. 
Tumblr media
That Deku line from the first episode. I’m transported right back, ya’ll. It’s that first love again, that same feeling I had when I first discovered this series all the way back in summer of last year.
Tumblr media
So Deku starts by thinking too hard about what’s going on and immediately gets blasted.
Tumblr media
“You think too much” hoo boy recently Mother’s Basement posted the analysis of this fight and pointed out that this is actually a flaw of Deku’s that he can learn to remedy by adopting some of Kacchan’s impulsiveness. Never has the phrase “you complete me” been more accurate.
Tumblr media
This freaking animation. It’s so beautiful. OMG.
Tumblr media
“Wait for me” OH MAN BB DEKU BB KACCHAN RUNNING I’M DEAD I AM DYING
Tumblr media
Cause he loves ya you dope.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cute overload
Tumblr media
WHY WHY WHY hoo boy Kacchan flashbacks.
Tumblr media
Dat little trip oh man. He’s so bummed Deku doesn’t wanna fight and Deku’s little kick actually knocked him down.
Tumblr media
Ooh boy. Here it comes. The music went out
Tumblr media
Hold his freaking hand some day dammit
Tumblr media
Oh god I can’t watch this again I can’t I can’t
Tumblr media
“why is to you became strong…while I - “ OH GOD HERE IT COMES HERE IT COMES
Tumblr media
OH GOD. Slow clap. Okamoto and Chapin both deserve freaking awards for that performance. I mean holy shit. That voice acting. Those cracks. That hit. It makes me cry. I’m tearing up right now. Cause you see, this whole episode, it really rests on the ability of Bakugou’s Seiyuu and VA to pour everything into the performance. It’s not going to hit without both of them giving the vocal acting performance of a lifetime, and they both knocked it out of the freaking park. I actually love them both as his voice; I don’t have a preference for dub over sub, as regards their performances (not the dialogue translations), because both are incredible. Just. Slow clap. All of the awards, please.
Tumblr media
Look at how Deku looks at him. He’s the best. He just…he cares, so much. I mean, you’d admittedly have to be a pretty heartless bastard not to feel a little compassionate after hearing that speech but still. Kacchan’s so fucking lucky he has Deku and he doesn’t even know it. I want one too.
Tumblr media
He’s crying. Me too.
Tumblr media
Kacchan no Kacchan no nononononono 
Tumblr media
Oh god Deku you beautiful darling
Tumblr media
“may not be any meaning” I DISAGREE THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF AN ENTIRE SERIES’ WORTH OF 100+ SYMBOLIC CHAPTERS DETAILING YOUR GROWTH FROM ANGRY YELLING RIVALS TO RIVALS WHO SUPPORT EACH OTHER DAMMIT IT’S EVERYTHING
Tumblr media
“May not be any meaning in winning or losing” lol are you just saying that in hindsight, Future Deku, cause you know you lost?
Tumblr media
Deku didn’t have to do this. He didn’t have to fight Kacchan or even let him know the truth.
Tumblr media
And note, he didn’t accept until he realized there was someone he could save. Someone who needs saving, to be helped. And this is how to help him.
Tumblr media
“The only one who can accept his feelings is me.” Ya’ll heard that haters? Say it a little louder for the people in the back, Deku. He’s got his heart.
Tumblr media
And look who’s smiling again, eyes lighting up again, the minute Deku started fighting back?
Tumblr media
“I couldn’t just completely reject him” Guess who also sad that about their fiery spiky blond spouse in BNHA? Kacchan’s dad in that omake about their marriage.
Tumblr media
Their relationship was wrong, but now it’s right. 
Tumblr media
They never talked about how they really felt. Communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, folks. Go on. Talk about your feels. Your real feelings.
Tumblr media
Of that was one hell of a hit.
Tumblr media
That speedy recovery though. Deku is fast. 
Tumblr media
Oh wow Kacchan hit it too
Tumblr media
That smile. That smile OMG that is THE HOTTEST, by far, that Deku has ever looked in animation. And I don’t say that lightly.
Tumblr media
The translation here is either “I’ve” or “you’ve” gotten stronger. Both fit fine, which is the crazy part. Deku could be either saying that he himself has improved, or complimenting Bakugou, which does admittedly make more sense with what he was saying before, while ‘I’ve’ fits his cocky grin here better. I want him to flash a cocky grin more. It suits him. (BTW The English Dub compromises between the two and says’ we’ve both’.
Tumblr media
Katsuki assumes Deku has a plan. Always overestimating him.
Tumblr media
“That’s what I hate about you” OMG HE FINALLY TELLS HIM HOW HE FEELS. “I can never tell what you’re thinking” Because ya know he’s so good at understanding how everyone else thinks and feels.
Tumblr media
He’s always being mean to Deku. Deku has seen him at his very worst and yet still admires him. Maybe that’s scary, you know? Unconditional love is…kinda terrifying. But so, so beautiful. So he has to rationalize it that Deku is just looking down on him.
Tumblr media
Wow Deku sure took you long enough! He’s been saying that since day 1!
Tumblr media
“I wouldn’t want anything to do with them anymore” Deku there you go being empathetic and wonderful and perfect again. So understanding you darling, darling boy.
Tumblr media
 “Along with the parts I hated about you, I saw all the amazing things you could do.” THAT’S ADMIRATION, FOLKS. ADMIRATION WITHOUT IDOLIZATION. Without hero-worship. Acknowledging the good and the bad. Seeing a person for who they really are and always, always seeing the best of them, even at their worst.
Tumblr media
“MUCH CLOSER TO ME THAN ALL MIGHT” Do you hear him guys? The closest person to him, closer than All Might. Closer than his freaking #1 favorite hero. The dub version has “actually in my life”, which isn’t a bad idea either. Both are true. That is so powerful. The person who
Tumblr media
Oh yeah and again how does Deku advance in power? How does he Go Beyond? KACCHAN. Full cowling, he found from him. OFA itself, he gained by saving him. And 8%.
Tumblr media
THAT SMILE. “I thought you were amazing.” He loves you you idiot. 
Tumblr media
He kept chasing after him. He’ll never stop. He won’t just give up.
Tumblr media
He passed him. And Bakugo looks happy. Possibly because he wants Deku to do better. Possibly because it seems to be confirming his might-makes-right theory. Possibly both.
Tumblr media
ANIMATION-GASM AGAIN. 
Tumblr media
AHAHAHAHAHAH ITS THAT CUT ITS THAT CUT DEKU’S DANCING FEET
Tumblr media
THE VOID AROUND THEM IT’S JUST YOU AND ME 
Tumblr media
AND THE BLOCK OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THIS IS THE MOST FREAKING BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION IVE EVER SEEN
Tumblr media
I’m serious. They brought out all the stops for this one. Of course. they knew, they had to know, that this was it. The animation, too, had to be perfect, or else it wasn’t gonna come across. And it is. Even better, in my opinion, than the animation in the stuff that came before it. Bones you are incredible. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Higher gear. Can anyone doubt that Katsuki is important to Deku’s journey after this?
Tumblr media
“This is gross, so I can’t say it”.. “I love you?” A reactor I follow actually said that after that line. That’s how intense they are.
Tumblr media
Anyway IMAGE OF VICTORY SPEECH. The Ep that keeps on giving. 
Tumblr media
Kacchan is his image of victory. The other side of him. And he adopts some of his traits.
Tumblr media
“The part of you I hate and yet” How much love can you have for a person when you can somehow still admire the darkest, meanest parts of them? I don’t have a very perfect definition of love but I think that’s probably a big part of it.
Tumblr media
“my image of victory is of you” feels overload. Feels O.D. 
Tumblr media
dat crane shot.
Tumblr media
My one disappointment with this episode is that they used the US of Smash OST instead of the Katsuki and Izuku OST for this scene. CMON GUYS. SERIOUSLY. THE KATSUKI AND IZUKU THEME HAD TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR THIS EPISODE AND THIS MOMENT ALONE. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING. 
Tumblr media
“I have to beat you” the music the feels omg
Tumblr media
Hahaha psych. Kacchan wins anyway. 
Tumblr media
WOOF. Like OK this is in the manga, this positioning, but it’s only for one frame. In the anime it goes on for like, an uncomfortably long time, with the slow panting, and the close-ups on the twisting body parts, and…combined with the fact that all of Deku’s admiring girlfriends in this arc have also landed on top of him in a similar pose, and you can’t blame me for the fact that my mind went into rather…R-rated territory. 
Tumblr media
Kacchan’s disappointed. He didn’t want Deku to lose. He wanted Deku to win.
Tumblr media
That breaking  voice again. Don’t make me cry more dammit it’s too late.
Tumblr media
ALL MIGHT! I need an MST3K style All Might commentary-reaction to this entire damn thing. Seriously Hori. If you ever do an extra, please make one that’s a serious of All Might panel reacting to this whole thing. I NEED THAT. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finishing each other’s sentences again.
Tumblr media
“It’s too late” IT’S NEVER TOO LATE YOU CYNICAL PORCUPINE.
Tumblr media
This is such a great moment of catharsis. Why Deku indeed? Well, you’re about to learn.
Tumblr media
THAT LINE DELIVERY AGAIN. That Broken voice. Both voice actors are too good.
Tumblr media
Deku’s legs though. WOWSA. A little detail I’ve noticed is that Kacchan has really buff, sexy arms and Deku has really buff, sexy legs. Because those are the body parts they use, while the reverse parts are more average.
Tumblr media
“I’m weak too” You’re making me weak I can’t take it. His voice his voice that fucking voice
Tumblr media
DEKU’S EYES. THEY’RE WELLING. 
Tumblr media
HE’S GONNA CRY TOO.
Tumblr media
I also need an All Might in my life. I kinda blame myself all the time for things outside of my control. Deku AND Kacchan both blamed themselves for what happened. For All Might’s end. And neither one was really responsible, but they’re just like that. I relate, painfully, to both of them. I have a Deku side and a Bakugo side - deep down, I think we all do. Maybe one more than the other, but that’s what you get when you create two characters who initially act as kind of…distilled embodiments of two sides of the super-hero coin. One all super with no hero, the other all hero with no super - at least, at the beginning.
Tumblr media
THAT PIANO MUSIC IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR. IT’S ALL MIGHT’S FREAKING THEME YA’LL!
Tumblr media
Ooh boy All Might’s BKDK Speech! Both of their teachers ship them, you guys. All Might AND Aizawa both give big, beautiful speeches about their compatibility. In case you somehow missed it. 
Tumblr media
Being fixated on victory like you, young Bakugou…and wanting to save those in trouble, like you, young Midoriya…both of those feelings are necessary.” “You guys are perfect for each other”, says the reactor I mentioned earlier (who isn’t even a hardcore BKDK shipper, mind you, it’s just that it’s that obvious.) And it’s true. You need both. They want each other, they need each other, because they have what the other lacks. They complete each other.  
Tumblr media
This is the shonen rival equivalent of having the couple in a rom-com confess at the end of act one instead of act three. It upsets all the cliches and is all the better for it. Though even the most hardcore, dedicated anime rivals, I don’t think have ever gone this married-couple with the ‘mutual respect’ and ‘making each other stronger’ thing.
Tumblr media
WIN AND SAVE SAVE TO WIN. They look each other in the eyes.
Tumblr media
Oh god not that voice again I’m dying. Don’t make me cry again Kacchan.  
Tumblr media
“Don’t lose.” SUPPORTIVE KACCHAN I LOVE SUPPORTIVE KACCHAN.
Tumblr media
“I’ll get stronger” CONFIDENT DEKU I LOVE CONFIDENT DEKU. 
Tumblr media
“Of the students only you.” ONLY YOU. 
Tumblr media
I put this moment really high on my list of Kacchan’s nicest moments, because it means a lot to me and to All Might. All Might acknowledges it. He’s a good secret keeper.
Tumblr media
Oh and Deku thanks him too in the English Dub, BTW. Not the manga but nice dub touch. 
Tumblr media
OMG he’s such a Tsundere.
Tumblr media
He told him everything. HE KNOWS. The only one who knows. None of Deku’s other love interests do. And he has no interest in telling them. 
Tumblr media
Kacchan asks why he told him. And I’ve got an answer, after obsessively rereading Chapter 11/rewatching Episode 8 a lot: BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, YOU IDIOT. You were mad at him for lying about his quirk to you. You asked what was going on (loudly). You accused him of lying to you your whole life. So he told you the truth. Because he can lie to his mom, and he can lie to his friends and teachers and the entire freaking world. But he cannot lie to YOU. Because he loves you. Idiot baka. 
Tumblr media
Oh and what’s that music playing there? Why does that sound familiar? YOU SAY RUN YOU SAY RUN YOU SAY RUN IT’S BACK. And you know? That’s I think because YSR symbolizes Deku’s heroic inspiration. The inspiration he both takes in and gives to others. And here, he’s both being inspired by Kacchan, and inspiring him at the same  time.
Tumblr media
Now Kacchan is doing the same. “Chosen one” He knows. Deku is better. He’s gotta surpass him.
Tumblr media
LOL THIS IS FUNNY. THEY SURE BICKER LIKE THEY’RE MARRIED.
Tumblr media
This shot composition. Get it? ALL MIGHT’S THE THING BETWEEN ‘EM.
Tumblr media
Oh and this. Yay some character development from Kacchan! Another nice moment of his in this ep. Three times! 
Tumblr media
All Might Meta’s a bit about how Kacchan took responsibility and felt bad and does a Mom guilt trip on Dadzawa. They’re getting to be kinda married too now.  
Tumblr media
“I went in pretty HARD”. OMG stop it you’re making me think bad things again. Just F*CK already.
Tumblr media
Their first act as a married couple is to clean the house together. OMG domestic fluff. 
Tumblr media
And now for the best Post-credits scene ever. 
Tumblr media
Wow Uraraka ships it so bad. 
Tumblr media
Oh and some Todobaku bonus! Aw I guess Bakugou just turned down his 3some offer. 
Tumblr media
Ooh awkward silence. 
Tumblr media
YAY! Though they did kinda wreck it by having Deku bring it up instead of Kacchan 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOW THEY’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO TALK TO EACH OTHER LIKE HUMAN BEINGS.
Tumblr media
Kacchan just praised me. Life is good.
Episode 61 is my favorite episode of my favorite show. I think it’s the best and will never be topped. Feels, left and right. It’s really just perfect. Funny, all 3 of the transcendent, best-of-the-best BNHA eps (This, 49 and 23) are basically just two characters fighting for 20 minutes. Nothing more or less. Yet they’re all so, so good. And this one is…I don’t even know how to put it into words. It’s a phenomenal tour-de-force of acting, visuals, animation, music, and of course, writing, all combining together to be just absolutely unsurpassable. Everything that makes this series good, boiled down to it’s essence. And yes, this did seal the deal for me with BKDK. I liked it before, but this made it a done deal. No going back. And I love it.
BEST GIRL OF THE EP: Uraraka for being so supportive.
RANKER: Top 5 Best Moments of This Episode: (it’s really more like a top 50)
5. Deku’s little Dance number
4. True Rivals at Last
3. True feelings at last
2. The Image of Victory Speech

Prompt #46- Mako Aladdin!AU (Angsty-ish)
46. Requester’s Choice! ( For @princeasimdiya12​ )
Tumblr media
This AU is based on Aladdin, Disney's 1992 film. Some text is actually an excerpt from the transcript! I do not own Aladdin, nor the text from the film. Enjoy! 
Pairing: N/A
Word Count: 1.8K
Tumblr media
Nobody ever saw his face. He was careful not to let anyone get that close, not even his friends. He always wore a tattered red cloak; it was almost like a calling card. If you saw a blur of red and the slender shadow of a man disappearing into the alley, you would know it was Mako.
Mako had lived on the streets all his life, first living in and out of dilapidated orphanages with his brother Bolin. Then roaming the streets, trying to survive on what they could steal. They had never known their parents. Maybe that lack of parental affection was what drove Mako to become a pickpocket, or maybe it was the desire to have something for himself, to call his own (even if it wasn't actually his).
"Mako!" Bolin called happily. Pabu, his fire ferret rested on his shoulder. Mako had just returned home from a day scavenging in the local market, his bag filled with stale bread and lopsided fruit. He had even managed to snatch a shiny gold bangle, and he knew it could be sold for a pretty penny.
"Yes Bolin?" He tossed his younger brother a stale loaf of bread, Bolin caught it and smiled, breaking off a chunk for his little pet.
"I saw her again, Princess Asami! She's gorgeous." Bolin looked star struck. He always had an affinity for the royalty of the kingdom, even if they could give a crap about the lowly people living in poverty.
"Yeah whatever. The Sato's don't care for us. If they did don't you think they'd try and use even a small part of their endless fortune to help build up this end of the city? Or maybe even just help feed the orphans?" Bolin looked down at the bread in his hand. Mako's shoulders slumped.
"I'm sorry Bolin." He walked over and sat down next to his brother, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "I shouldn't take my frustration out on you, you just know how much I hate the royalty of this damn city." His brother nodded, but still seemed sad. Mako sighed.
"Tell me about her." Bolin's eyes gleamed with pure happiness.
"Oh my gosh! She's so pretty! Her perfect green eyes are so kind! And her dress just seemed to flow in the wind!" If it were possible, Mako knew that Bolin would have hearts in his eyes. He's only seen the princess from behind, so he took his brother's word for it. He smiled lightly.
"I'm gonna go sell this and see how much I can get for it." Bolin nodded. Mako pulled his hood up, ducking out of the rooftop shack they found for shelter. He grabbed the rope and swung down onto the next building over, being careful to tie the rope up so he could climb back up. The tall slender teenage boy peaked over the edges, taking care none of the royal guards were patrolling. Once he knew he was safe, he quickly climbed onto the ledge and hopped down into the alley, making sure nobody was around. He couldn't let anyone know who he was. He could see the black cloth that hung above the fence.* Once he swung down to the side door, he knocked three times, the sign that he was outside.
"Ah, Hello Mako!" The old man opened the door and let him inside. There were a few older men roaming around, browsing the many stolen treasures laid out. One man, a tall man with long hair glanced over at him and looked him up and down.
"What can I help you with?" Mako held out the gold bangle.
"Ah what a gorgeous piece, whoever lost it must miss it dearly." Mako nodded, he didn't want to speak, especially with the strange man looming nearby.
"This I'm sure is worth a lot, but I can only give you 10 gold pieces for it. Mako nodded, glad he received anything. The old man dropped the gold in his hand.
"Pleasure doing business with you!" He dropped the coins into the pouch tied to his hip, each making a satisfying clink. He nodded again, ducked into the dark alley to return home.
Mako made it a few yards before he realized that there was footsteps echoing behind him. He turned quickly and saw the same tall man behind him. He clutched the money bag tightly.
"Who are you? What do you want!" Mako said sternly. The tall man slowly advanced forward, as soon as he was close enough he noticed it was Tarrlok, the Sato's trusted advisor.
"Hello street rat." I scowled at him as he smirked at me.
"What do you want Tarrlok?"
"Oh you know just your ass in jail, but as of now I'm going to put that behind us, because I have a little deal to make with you." Mako didn't trust Tarrlok at all. This man was known for manipulating the poor folks to do his dirty work.
"What kind of deal?" Tarrlok's smirk widened, as if he knew he had a poor little rat in a corner.
"I've been doing some research, and I'd like to explore the Cave of Wonders." The older man's voice was like velvet, but Mako could tell he was as slippery as a snake.
"And why are you telling me this?" Tarrlok raised his brow.
"Well of course, I being the trusted advisor of King Sato I must remain here to aid him, you will be going with a few of my trusted guards to the Cave of Wonders to collect this prized object, return it to me and I will pay you a handsome fee!" Mako's eyes widened. It couldn't be this easy, there had to be a catch.
"No, no catch." Mako's eyes widened. A chill ran down his spine. "I can also easily persuade the king to allow a fund to be distributed to the orphanage if that pleases you." Mako rolled his eyes, as if he had to persuade the king to do anything. Tarrlok seemed to make all the laws and rules, the bumbling king just signed the papers. Nobody had even seen the king outside of the palace since Princess Asami was born and the Queen died.
"I swear on my life that I will uphold our end of the deal, as long as you uphold yours. You must bring me back treasure without disturbing it, and I will make you and your little brother as rich as kings." Mako's eyes widened. Bolin! What would he tell his brother? Should he just leave, and not say a word?
"Deal?"
"Deal."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
"Are we there yet?" Mako asked the burly guard holding the map.
"A few more yards. It should be just over this hi-" The guard stopped as they reached the top of the hill. Below was the cave, it seemed as if a giant tiger was frozen in time, it's mouth suspended open. It's eyes glowed an eerie white color, a yellow glow coming from inside its mouth.
"It's nothing like I've ever seen before." Mako said sliding down the hill, and standing back from the glowing entrance.
"Stay on task street rat. Here's the treasure. Make sure you get it. Don't! And I repeat don't, rub it." Mako grabbed the parchment and saw a beautiful golden lamp. He turned and stood in front of the mouth. As he got closer, the mouth sprung alive, shocking the three men.
"Who disturbs my slumber?" Mako stumbled back.
"It is I, Mako." The cave eyed the young man for a moment.
"Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp." The mouth of the cave opened wide.
"Remember boy, the lamp!" Mako nodded, beginning to descend the long winding staircase. Once he reached the bottom he entered a room filled floor to ceiling with glittering gold and gemstones. He followed the path taking care not to step on or touch anything. As he advanced through the cave he felt as if something was following him. He quickly turned and saw a beautiful magic carpet peaking out from behind a pile of gold.
"A magic carpet! C'mon. I'm not gonna hurt you." The carpet slowly crept out.
"Wow, you're amazing! Do you think you can help me?" Mako reached for the parchment and showed it to the carpet. It flew up and danced around in the air.
"I take it, you know where it is?" The carpet flew forward as Mako followed. The pair reached a long tunnel. There seemed to be a bright light. Mako, excited that he was almost finished with his mission, found a long cavern with a tall pillar with a beam shining down from above.
"That must be the lamp!" Mako hurried forward, taking a walk up the steep staircase. While Mako climbed the staircase to the lamp, the curious carpet noticed a monkey statue with a glittering, giant ruby. Entranced in it's beauty the carpet wrapped around the jewel just as Mako grabbed the lamp. The ground around the two began to rumble.
"You have touched the forbidden treasure." Mako looked around in a panic. He began to rush down the stairs, but halfway down they disappeared, turning the once steep stairway into a slide. Mako's eyes widened as he noticed the water that was once surrounding the pillar turned into boiling hot lava.
"Carpet!" The blue carpet rushed towards him, catching him midair before he landed in the lava.
"Oh carpet what did you do!" As the ceiling began to crumble Mako and the carpet dodged and weaved through the Cave of Wonders until they reached an opening. Just as they were finally about to be free, a giant boulder the size of an elephant fell from the opening. Mako drove for the wall, but the carpet wasn't so lucky.
"Help me!" Mako yelled to the guards. They both began to laugh at Mako's misfortune.
"Give us the lamp!"
"Please! I can't hold on much longer! I'm gonna fall!" All the while Mako was struggling to pull himself up, carpet was being surrounded by lava. It tugged and pulled until finally it was free!
"Just pass the lamp and we'll grab your hand!" Mako reluctantly reached into his cloak and passed the two guards the lamp.
"Hahaha! I finally have the lamp!" The two guards began to fade away as Tarrlok appeared.
"You tricked me!"
"Yes! And I'm going to give you your reward now! Death!" Mako's mind flashed to Bolin. He had to survive for him. Just as Tarrlok went to push Mako from the wall, carpet soared out and knocked Tarrlok to the group, scooping up Mako and the lamp that had been discarded on the ground.
"Now, let's go home buddy!" Mako said, cheering at his victory.
This took me so much longer than I hoped! I'm so sorry to @princeasimdiya12​ for the wait! Please let me know what you think! Thank you all for reading!

@elliesolis12 Here’s the fic you asked for. Did I name the children, Kitty and Rain just because I could? Yes, yes, I did (I also head canon that Mork and Sun would decide to adopt older children. Not sure they’d start from birth, either by adoption or from them with surrogates, but there is possibility for a third kid...hahaha, don’t mind me) Also, I have trouble gauging the age gap. For me, I’m comfortable with Rain and Mork being two years apart. Making Sun 4 years older than Mork, but six years older than Rain...it’s probably not the same as the show because in that Mork and Rain are probs the same age, but to me Mork has somehow acted older? So in the present we have 19 year old Rain, 21 year old Mork and 25 year old Sun. Let’s say...4-5 years have gone by. They’re married, adopted two kids and then.... and this is long so we gotta click the keep reading button. At least, it shows up on desktop. Don’t think it does on mobile. 
Sheesh, we really are catapulting over the angst with this: 
“Is Rain babysitting a good idea?” Sun asked Mork. 
“I can hear you!” He yelled from the living room as he was tackled to the floor by two kids. They giggled as they dog piled him. Things were going all right. Rain didn’t know what to expect. So far everything felt fine. “Just-” he groaned when a butt was in his face. He maneuvered the boy off him. “Hey! Rain! You can’t sit on my face.” The boy looked sad, but then he laughed. “Also, you’re big for a five year old. And you,” Rain whirled on Kitty who was about to put him in a “choke hold.” “You’re what? 3? No, I’m 6 and a half now.” Sun chuckled at the scene. 
“Well, we know where she gets the sass from.” 
“You!” Rain and Mork said in unison. Sun squinted his eyes and mocked them. 
“I’ve got this. You two can go on that date.” Rain shooed them away. They reluctantly left. Rain kept wrestling around with them and then he looked them square in the eye and asked, “What should we do now? Color? Watch a movie? Should we have cake for dinner?” Rain knew he’d probably feed them cake. There could be other food in the fridge, but for something years ago, (that the kids don't know about) Rain still held a grudge against his big brother.
--
“Where are we going?” Mork asked his husband. He could swear they were headed in the direction of the cafe. “Kitty and Manow should’ve closed up by now why are we going to Blue Sky?” 
“You’ll see.” Sun pursed his lips into a smile. 
--
“Kitty, give that crayon back to your brother!” Rain exclaimed. She gave him a glare. “Wow, you really are like P’Sun. Just give him back the crayon.” 
“But I want blue,” she retorted. Rain’s eyes rolled into the back of his head. 
“You can have blue after your brother finishes with it.” Rain sat pouting and then his uncle handed him back the crayon. “Finish your clouds and then give this to your sister.” Kitty gave Rain such a look that he suddenly asked himself would a six year old be capable of revenge? 
---
Sun opened the door to the cafe and he was caught by surprise as well. He didn’t think Kitty would go this far. The flower arrangements decorating the entire cafe were more beautiful than Sun would have imagined. Kitty even strung white lights. She really went to town. After all, when marriage laws actually passed she had a slew of weddings to plan, including his. 
“You planned this?” 
“I had help.” 
“No, shit,” Mork retorted. 
“Shall we?” Sun held out a chair for him. He went to the cafe kitchen and started making them dinner. Mork could swear. sometimes. that his husband radiated his own sunlight like a spotlight that followed him around. Perhaps that was the lens Mork chose to see him through. Dinner was placed before him. He smiled and they ate in silence. It took awhile to perfect that, but Mork was thankful for it. Sometimes Sun would talk and talk and talk. At the beginning, it was cute. Towards the middle it was dreadfully annoying and now...now, Mork sat pleased that his husband learned how to eat and talk.
“Is it good?” 
“It’s good.” Mork finished his last bite. “Let me make you something.” He took their dishes to the kitchen and placed them in the sink. Mork started up the espresso machine. Then he grabbed some whip cream, milk and cherries from the fridge. “Let’s see if I can re-create your first winning drink, Black Forest Cake or as I’ve coined it, over the years, MorkSun.” 
“Why do we have a couple’s name? It’s soo, bleh,” Sun admitted. 
“Oh, it is?” Mork smiled at him as he slowly dripped the espresso into the drink. 
“Don't forget the chocolate flavor,” Sun was now sitting at the order counter, admiring his husband work the kitchen like a pro. He did learn from the best barista for 3 years in a row, the last two years were finally swept from him by the barista at the Boss Cafe. Mork sat the finished drink in front of Sun. 
“You trust me, right?” 
“Of course.” Sun gave him a small kiss first and then picked up the drink.
---
“Kitty!” Rain exclaimed. “Get off that chair.” 
“I want the cookies Daddy Mork hides from Daddy Sun. They’re on top of the fridge.” 
“You could ask instead of climbing a chair?” Who is she? A fucking crazy ass combination of his big brother and best friend, that’s what. Rain would rather take his chances with the one named after him. Kitty stepped off the chair and put her hand on her hips. Rain was instantly reminded of when Sun gets serious and how he clasps his hands behind his back. “Can I have the cookies then?” 
No, is what Uncle Rain should’ve said, but he caved and handed the container of cookies to her. She merrily skipped to the couch and even shared them with her brother. 
“Wait a minute, what’s happening?” A hypnotized Rain blinked at them several times, feeling very confused and very played like the strings of a guitar. 
“We’re eating cookies. Thank you,” Kitty said. And...there’s his best friend’s cheeky grin. Oh, this is turning into a nightmare. 
---
The suspense was unnecessary but Mork went with it. Only for a minute. “Just drink it,” he begged. Sun smirked and took a sip. 
“Hmm, this might be better than when I make it.” 
“Ha, damn straight!” Mork felt proud. Then he saw it out of the corner of his eye. Sun swiped some whip cream off the top and reached out for Mork’s cheek. He let it happen and slowly backed himself toward the prep table. Sun gave him an eyebrow. Suddenly, whip cream covered his hair. 
“Okay,” Sun licked his lips. “That’s how we are going to play?” Mork only leaned in closer, elbows on the order counter. 
“Wipe this off first.” He points at his cheek. Sun licked it off instead. Mork merely smiled. 
“We could borrow the bathroom upstairs? That’s gonna take some work.” Mork. didn’t dare touch his husbands hair, but Sun had a different idea. He nuzzled himself into Mork’s cheek, wiping the whip cream on him as if he were the napkin.
“This is your fault.” Sun said as Mork squirmed away. “Follow me,.” he said as he jumped the order counter. Sun watched him swipes a rose from a vase. He glazed it across his cheek. Mork started for the stairs. In the beginning, they got so used to this stairwell. 
--
Finally, they were asleep. Rain felt pain in his neck. A pain he never had before. He’d wait a long time to be a parent. In fact, he might be okay with just a niece and nephew who he occasionally saw because then that meant the little brats weren’t always his responsibility. He loved them so much, but tonight they gave him a run for his money. He also means that literally. Kitty conned him. They were arguing and then suddenly Rain was handing her money. That girl has skills already and Rain couldn’t imagine what they will be like when she’s older. 
He reached for his phone to call Sun. No answer. “Come on. You guys said two hours. It’s been three. Pick up.” No answer. He tried Mork. No answer. “Great. Figures. What’d you expect Rain? It’s a date night, of course, they’re going to get busy.” He sighed. 
“Uncle Rain,” a little voice mumbles from the kitchen. “I am thirsty.” Sometimes, though, they are not twins, they seemed to act like such, because two seconds behind Kitty was Rain. 
“I am thirsty too,” he grumbles. Rain poured them glasses of water and once finished he walked them back to their rooms. He tucked in Rain and then went into Kitty’s room. As he finished, tucking in the blanket at all sides she murmured, “I love you, Uncle Rain.” He kissed her forehead. 
Who was Uncle Rain kidding? These kids had him wrapped around their fingers. 
---
“We should get back,” Sun started buttoning up his shirt. Mork stood behind him, burying lips into neck. Sun leaned into the touch, a hand gripping hair to press Mork’s lips closer to him. They reached up his jaw, to his cheek and Sun felt himself melting so he had to stop his husband. “Mork we should get back. We only told Rain a few hours. It’s approaching five hours now.” 
“Okay.” Mork agreed and started getting dressed. Soon enough, they had everything cleaned up and they were in the car. Mork made Sun drive with one hand. 
---
“About time! You know, everything was going great, but then they turn into little brats who made me feel like I’m too old for this!” Rain complained to Mork and Sun as soon as they opened the front door. “Kitty especially. That girl. I thought you had an attitude problem Sun, but damn.” 
“Did you just say you’re too old for this?” Mork gave him a confused look. “We’re barely passed 25, but your brother…he’s approaching 30.” Mork chuckled with an eyebrow wiggle. Rain laughed.
“It’s true, I guess we’re still on the young side.” He smiled at Mork. “I’m out. They’re asleep.” On his way to the door, Rain gave his brother a shoulder squeeze. Mork and Sun plopped onto the couch. Sun swung a leg over him and settled into his lap. Mork bit his lip as he caressed thighs. He then pressed hands up his back to bring Sun closer. Sun placed his lips within inches of his husband’s. “Home sweet home.” Mork gave him a small kiss. “I love you,” he whispered, grabbing one of Sun’s hands and giving it a kiss too.
“Oh, I love you more,” Sun teased. 
“More than coffee? More than the kids?” 
“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Sun jokes. Cue the iconic eye roll. Sun shook his head. Mork tangled fingers into his hair and leaned their foreheads together. Sun caught his lips again, realizing it's been awhile since they had time alone. He’d treasure as much of this as possible, but he also couldn’t wait to hear the pitter-patter of feet down the hallway in the morning.

20 Fact about Me and My Crush
We can not deny that we all have that someone who always make our heart flatter in a different way. It can be our source of inspiration or even that someone who can get our world turning 180 degrees either in a good or bad way. For me, I had that someone who really turn my world upside down. Even though I do not have the guts to confess to my crush, I still enjoy the life of being single and being contended with just watching the scenery as my crush walks by.   Before knowing about my crush, let's know about some simple fact about me first. #1 I am an ambivert
I like hanging out with my friends outside yet I also enjoy being peaceful alone. I like adventures yet I also enjoy the company with my pillow at home. I am 2 sides of a coin - both extrovert and an introvert.
#2 I am an Otaku It may not look like it, but I am a 200% anime addict. I also like reading manga and I love the BL genres.

# 3 I feel shy when I am with my crush
I don’t talk much whenever I am near my crush (because I’m afraid that he might notice me blushing). But if he will talk to me first then I CAN BE REALLY LOUD (for I can no longer suppress my feelings).

#4 I sometimes get awkward 
I get awkward when my crush is near me.  I suddenly don’t know what to say and just talk literally random stuffs. Deep inside I feel like my crush is getting the creeps on me.
#5 I AM OVERLY EMOTIONAL
Yes, I am indeed overly emotional. I get sad easily and cry easily even if I am happy. But the best part of being emotional is I can express truly about myself and the burden in my heart will lighten up.

#6 I have a sweet tooth for everything
Even though it is extremely sweet, i still LOVE IT (even if others don’t like it that much). I have a thing for vanilla flavors.
#7 I have a  natural wavy hair
Even though my hair is rebonded and i still prefer straight.
#8 I am sometimes competitive
Be it with acads or everything I don’t like the feeling of loosing.
#9 I have a bad temper
If you get on my bad side I will not talk to you for months or ever YEARS. The bad thing about me is that I can forgive but I really cannot forget  and I can hold grudges for years.
#10 I can be really selfish
If I say it’s mine, it is really mine. I don’t like anybody touching my things whether it is even a human being or my crush. I am really POSSESSIVE. 
Now that you know about me, let’s proceed of getting to know about MY CRUSH
Tumblr media
#11 He is very smart
He is really intelligent especially when it comes to math.
#12 He has a unique sense of humor
He had this sarcastic humor and I always find it funny in its own way. He is really witty and I can’t help my self falling for him even more.
#13 He is not that handsome
Even though I am head over heels for him, he is really not the “Adonis” type. He is not that macho and even not that sexy. But for me, what matters the most is his attitude.
#14 He is a sadist
He had the audacity to pinch everyone who is close to him (including me) whenever he is in a good or happy mood. Even though it hurts I kinda like it.

#15 He is really caring
Yes he is a sadist, but deep down he really cares but in a silent way so that no body will know about it. He does not like everybody knowing his good side.
#16 He is also an Otaku
That’s why we can get along at some point hahaha.
#17 He is also Emotional
He cried to me once because he felt heart broken about his crush. Even though it breaks my heart I still comforted him.
Tumblr media
#18 He really loves to badmouth others
Even though he is a boy he had the attitude of a girl when it comes to gossips. In addition, we had our little secret that only the two of us know ;)
#19 He hesitates to confess to her crush
I am the bridge of him and her crush even though I really don’t like it but I still do it for  because I like him.
#20 he WAS my best friend
We were best friends back then and call each other nicknames that only we both know. We share deep secrets even the most shocking ones. We really don’t get along with each other but at the same time we don’t like getting separated with each other. If we fight, we had this thing called “pride”  and never really talk to each other until the other party says sorry - it would even take months for us to surrender our ego. We get jealous if we had other opposite sex that is really close to us - because for us, there is an unspoken rule that we can only be close to 1 person only, and that’s just only us. But at the end, our friendship really didn’t go that well, for someone who is really a jerk took the courage to confess her feelings.  I admit it was really bad move  but I NEVER REGRETTED IT. It was a lesson learn for me and maybe our friendship was not that really strong and true to begin with.
