jajdjrjsd i decided to go the lazy way bc tests rn (but i swear ill send a more detailed ask later on e i research it <33) soo, who are yours favourite characters? how do you like the plot so far and also pls pls pls feel free to rant bc i love reading your rants and it would totally take away all the stress from these stupid tests /gen
alsoo, how are youu? i love youuu <33
(also if you want to rant about life/anything else pls do <33)
OMG GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TESTS !!!!! i know i’m super late to this (sorry 😭) so not sure if you’re still going through them but if it’s already passed, i hope you did well either way!!! <33
okay soo. favorite characters -> i don’t know actually 😭 i’m fond of all of them in their own way (and i also have many critiques of them in their own way), but maybe henry and charles and camilla for now! (helppp so i just searched up charles and camilla on google because i forgot what their last name was (mcaulay something?) and i thought well who else could come up so i didn’t specify, completely forgetting the fact that britain’s charles and camilla exist 😭😭😭😭) but anyways. francis is also very funny!!
apparently i’m already 70% in (crazy what can happen if i just stick to reading one book instead of thirteen woah) and i’m enjoying the plot well enough so far! i heard some people say that this part (the one after they’ve done the main murder of the book) is a bit tedious because we’re only left with them trying to deal with the moral consequences of their action for a long period of time, but you know what, fuck it we ball!!!
i love seeing morally grey characters suffer the consequences of their own actions and the fact that for now i’m just watching them idling away drowning themselves in cigarettes and alcohol and whatever else they can find and how easy it is to read and consume on a daily basis feels like a win to me!
i do have a few “hmmmmmmm 🤨” moments with the book though but those questionable things are better unpacked somewhere else, where someone else can dissect it better.
but anyways!!! i’m okay!!! found out that i didn’t get into the selection yesterday but i’m finee since i was never an optimist when it comes to that ajsdkdlg. the real problem right now is that i’m going to have to go on a six days campus trip in 24 hours and i have only started packing so………………………… yeah 😭
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUUU HOW ARE YOU <3333 and THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I LOVE YOUUUUUU

HIT US WITH 2, 3, 6 and 14 (i love music in relation to media sorry), 22, and 26 for SANJI don’t be shy
SKUHFSHFSDKUHF THANK YOU FOR THIS, I LOVE DOING THESE SO MUCH KSDHFSJDFHSKDFHSKJDF For Sanji this time <3 OKAY also I'll admit I've been reading a ton of fics / headcanons with him so my thoughts mix be a tad skewered with info but like I've so many good writings for Sanji, bless all the writers so much because aaaaaaaaaa <3 <3 2 - Honestly I kinda started falling for him when I saw some gifs of the "silly in love wiggle dance" shit he does (because lets face it, silly weirdo men is my jam and I need more of it always) but I also see him as a very passionate kinds guy and thats also such a wonderful trait <3 3 - OH THIS- I know I keep wanting to say some sort of food service (because ofc its the easiest vibe but I feel like thats too easy of an answer dskjufsdf) so I've been scratching my head thinking about it for a few mins but like I keep thinking he would work at like a womens shoe store or like a jewelry store or somewhere he'd be able to work and flirt skjdhf. I just imagine him being like "Oh, what a gorgous choice for a gorgous person like you, it works with your eyes so well!" or something like that sdkjfhsdf 6 - YET ANOTHER I HAVE NOT LISTENED TO / MADE A PLAYLIST FOR... Which is also surprising because I have a few for other characters / pairings dsjhfsjdfh. Buuuuuuut when I've been reading fics I've been listening to those "piano jazz" youtube playlist things and they just feel fitting somehow?? ksdjuhsd 14 - OKAY SO I LOOKED BACK THROUGH MY "MUSHY LOVE SONGS" STUFF ON MY SPOTIFY AAAAAAND- I decided to go with just the whole ass song for him of "I'm in the mood for love" by Julie London (it just has soft romance vibes and I see it as super fitting for him from what I've seen / read of him so far skudfsdkfh) 22 - Oooooo good question. Hmmmmmmm.... I keep thinking it would be fun to have him meet Ingo and Emmet from Pokemon but mostly because I think it would be interesting to see what kind of shenanigans Emmet and Sanji could get up to together. Though I also have like a fuckton of ocs so those could be extra fun too jsdhfshjf 26 - Aaaa okay so admittedly I am not fully aware of his past yet (but I've heard a few brief things here and there) so I'm gonna rework this a tad to go off of what I know about him - but but I feel like he might be the type that when he has too much time to think he sort of just sits alone while smoking and overthinks things he could have done better or ways he could have helped someone or a situation? He's got that kinda vibe and idk how to describe it skudhfsd

Random out of pocket thought (feels like I am always sending you asks when I have them, but I like your thought through and mature answers😌).
Remember that Alex Garfin guy? You know, the one everyone thought was going to be Armand for a brief moment.
I had a thought that maybe he will be Quinn Blackwood (if he now will be involved in ARverse, maybe it has been clarified that he absolutely won’t I have missed it).
Because, not just Bailey Bass followed him on Instagram - but also Tongayi Chirisa.
👀
Hmmmmmmm, Ciprien what are you up to *laughs*
That is interesting?! I had not been really involved with the rumor re Alex Garfin, but... he would fit?! And if they go for Blackwood Farm (backstory) in Mayfair Witches that could be a very interesting crossover in the making!
I mean, Quinn Blackwood would truly be a splendid opportunity... if done right. I dare them to omit his foot kink though!!!!!! :))))
And they better implement his turning the way it was written, too!!!!
:)

If you were to write a Wednesday fic and you were forced to make it a romance, what would Tyler's redemption arc be and how many times would Xavier be mentioned in the fic?
Hmmmmmmm. Xavier WHOMST????? Like bye atp I am a Xavier anti!!!!! Wednesday can be aro/ace or with Enid atp! Tyler if he's done being a messy boy xxxxx
If it was a Wyler/Tysday(????) fic... hell. So Idk I know he's still the hyde at the end and prob always???? Like I THINK the teach was dead but atp twas off screen so idk? Maybe she's still around but she wasn't with him so idk how she'd control him?
Anyhow!!!! I think he'd have to learn to live as the hyde/ transforming etc w out the killing obv? Like I need remorse for the killings, I need awareness of his past wrong doings etc etc. Maybe he could help the outcasts a better way than doing sweet fa and making coffee in the town????
Tho the idea of him being a monster and the only one that can help him/ calm him down is Wednesday like... it's just one of my fave tropes don't even at me about it (like when he goes feral and is in his little locked up cave etc obv like not just on a murderous rampage and hears Wednesday lol)
If it was a Wenclair fic like it's just the grumpy sunshine friends to lovers I fear???? Like where they don't really know it until it's too late 😌😌😌😌

hornet? for the ask thing :]
hornet my girl...
favorite thing about them
she is weird
least favorite thing about them
hmmmmmmm. not anything i can think of...
favorite line
the FUNNIEST line of hers is the cut line where she says, after pinning hollow down before sealed siblings/dream no more, "Go! Make your choice! Did you know this is an important gameplay moment! By the way this choice determines your ending! Did you know either using the dreamnail or the regular nail here determines your ending! By the way - "
brOTP
can't say this better in words than i already drew it here and here [thinking really hard]
i just think SOOOOO HARD about like. hornet is really cold to ghost, like, she flat out says she'd feel no sorrow in a weakling's demise. i think there's a lot of complicated reasons for why she would be like that (and i also tend to treat it as like...she says a lot of harsh things she doesn't really mean), but i also think that it would. not be very nice for ghost.
i know this is before the unpopular opinion section but i wrote that before i wrote this answer - a lot of my hornet opinions come from my very first playthrough LOL so my first thoughts at her introduction were like, i had no idea she'd fight me! i just knew she was ghost's sister, so i ran after her expecting to talk only to get a fight...so like that ended up being something i really think ghost would feel too, they wanted to talk to her but she kept running away until she stopped only to fight them...
it's scary! they're little. and i still think all the time about the potential of hornet nosk...like they chased after her in greenpath and fungal wastes, what's one more...and this time it's yet another disappointment. (imagining this happening after they spoke to her in city of tears but before kingdom's edge)
and i think about what if hornet saw this...what if. because i think it would be a shock for her that like she could generally be fairly harsh and dismissive of them but they were so attached to her that she was that thing tried to lure them with...
but now their roles are reversed because ghost is avoiding her - that was one scary experience too many! - and she doesn't really know how to talk to them either, so she's just...following from a distance. now she's the one lurking and watching them...
and maybe eventually they get a little more comfortable with her being around, because she scared them quite badly but she hasn't done anything scary in a while...and then the abyss cutscene happens and ghost has their flashback and they're ready to fall again, one of many abandoned children, but this time is different...it doesn't have to be the same way again...
and i think they like. cry on her cloak and stain it permanently a little but it's okay. and then they don't let go of her hand for the rest of the game.
random headcanon
not a headcanon per se but i like drawing her with stinging nettles, both from horNET and because of symbolism around protection and boundaries...
unpopular opinion
very non-serious opinion but i think she's older than hollow. i think maybe the common thread between my hornet opinions is that i think something at the start of the game and then i never change this opinion...like i went in with no spoilers beyond:
hornet and ghost are siblings
they have another, taller sibling
and i just assumed hornet was the eldest and maintained that. and i also thought she was a beetle. and i won't let go of either of these things.
BUT anyway. it does make sense to me because i kind of get the impression the weavers helped with a lot like not just herrah being a dreamer...the reason being that there's no reason to get herrah on board if just anyone would do, considering how the weavers and hallownest were not on good terms, and also how hallownest is full of sycophants. so getting their assistance early would be important and so would
i also like her being the oldest sibling because i think a lot about her like as a really young child resenting hollow for being "the reason she wouldn't be able to spend time with herrah"...and then the weird queasy feeling when she gets older and learns a bit more about the specifics of their situation. and also like guilt in general over everything even though it's not like she was in any position to stop it
also i like drawing stuff like this
Tumblr media
[ID: Two drawings of the young Hollow Knight and Hornet. Hornet is slightly older and taller than they are. In the first drawing, they are hiding under her cloak while Hornet tilts her head and makes a confused expression. In the second, they are napping on her lap. Hornet is also dozing off. End ID]
song i associate with them
belly side up by bent knee makes me think of her...
favorite picture of them
Tumblr media
[ID: Two sprites of Hornet side by side. They show her with her cloak flared out behind her and her legs flailing. End ID]
sphere

hmmmmmmm i have thoughts about stormblood (spoilers btw)
im not completely done with post stb but either way, i felt the premise of this expansion was really good and genuinely interesting but it was. not done that well.
i give them props but they took on way more than they could chew, and a lot of groups/areas feel way too small for what they were going for. i get it, it takes a lot of resources to have huge amounts of npcs, but doma for example felt like it was a kingdom of about 50 people. gyr abania at least had SOME more heavily populated areas, but everything felt way too small for the ideas they had going. i did enjoy most of the maps though, really fun to explore and neat landscapes.
i thought they did a good job with the people, a lot of characters i really liked and were actually engaging to me, especially since they actually made lyse a character and not just comic relief. hoowweeevvveeerrrr her becoming the leader didnt really make sense to me. sure you have the story beat of following in her dad and sister's footsteps, but there was legit no good reason for conrad to name her leader in his place outside of 'this is a main character and she needs to do important things' like m'naago is RIGHT THERE?? m'naago has been there the whole time, has a lot of spirit and cares for the people, has experience, the list goes on.
to me it would be much more interesting to have m'naago take over, have lyse become her right hand man, and then have her actually have to choose to leave the scions because shes home and wants to do what she can for her people. (her being leader kind of makes the decision moot because no shit you cant lead a country and also be a scion?)
i liked the villains, they were a lot more fun than previous ones i felt, though i dont see the hype for zenos. i really enjoyed all the story in the azim steppe, though i wouldve liked to see and interact with more of the tribes. the way they went about writing genocide, colonization, and being oppressed in a fascist state was pretty run of the mill and lukewarm (stayed pretty middle of the road, classic 'these guys are bad but we gotta be better than them!!!' type stuff), but i still liked it for the most part.
theres a lot of other little things i just cant remember rn but overall, i enjoyed it but felt it flopped a bit in some important areas. lastly, making me have to wait to be able to fly in gyr abania until AFTER the othard plotline is insane and cringe.

Okay so, 
Its been a while since I’ve journaled! One thing on my mind is tho like, where tf is my val, an also wtf I was so fucked up the whole time I was in London, it does feel sneaky thok, like constantly going round and taking vals and not telling anyone. Like its deffo addict behaviours. But yes need to think of a to do list!! I am getting behind. Ill feel a bit better today tho, maybe I can do a bit later too when im with George. And ill wake up early tho to get my work like done, well get ready before uni so I’ve actually got clothing ! But yeah like omg, need to tell my parents about my piercings , and tattoo like wtf. I don t think it will be tooo hard to tell my mum. But5 also just need to consider how drunk I get too night. Bc I don’t want to fuck up Thursdays. Also I’ve just missed two sets of tutorials, that’s not good !! deffo need to book some next week. Also need to work on critical path. Im so uncomfy in these jeans, do wanna go home. Im actually scared and stressed about my tattoos and piercings now. Like but literally what’s the worst that can happen. They will say they don’t like it v!! And like sams just dropped out of uni, that’s like way worse than what I’ve done. And my tattoo is cute and tiny, im just conscious they wont understand it. I just have been stressing g a lot about that !! I feel awful too I never sent eden any of the things I said I would !! 2ill apologies for that, deffo need to text her about that. Okay so turns out life is getting a little stressful nat the moment. What can I do, deffo just need to do these confrontational things. They usually don’t even matter, could always take a val, but I am saving it, or have a drink lol, deffo need a bath later. Kind of excited ahaha. But yeah mainly just stressed about my tattoo, oh well!! Also im n to doing any work right now, I need to, okay so save collab work for Thursday. Just need to make sure I really do get in and do it, I reckon I can get loads done if I really prepare before hand. Really need to get home !! Just need to work forward and walk in with confidence, I want to know if. I need some water too. Hmmmmmmm maybe I should actually go soon ish, and really try and get some done with geo, what tho!! Could just get some designs for FMP done I suppose. Could also start filling out sourcing. Could also start on FMP what I was doing for collaboration, where have I even stored that work lol, on Miro I think ?? cant believe how much a week offf has thrown me off. George has deffo gone to sleep now maybe I should go like soon ism so with like my sourcing, I just need to start basically like filling in the blanks, I think I should go into the briefs and re read through and fill in the blanks again. Ill see what geo says , I just really need a bath big time!! I wonder if dd will be in tomorrow morn, I don’t think so tbh !! Think he will be on his early shifts. Okay you know what you need to do. Just always so concours that im leaving things out, like im forgetting things, guess that’s what its justice living with anxiety !! Deffo need to go on my card later tho and split some bills with Georg lol okay done, just need to remember the one he owes me on my credit card, also okay need to thin k about what ill be wearing tmo, stress !! Feel like I wont be enjoying tomorrow, im already stressed !! I should go home I think.

✨Darkolai supremacy!!✨
!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!
Okay, so I just finished reading the Nikolai duology and... what even was that?! Hello?! I will look away from the hypocrisy and Aleksander slander throughout the whole first and second books, otherwise I’m gonna go mad from frustration. But I can’t let one thing go, why is suddenly EVERY. SINGLE. THING. Darkling’s fault? Like... how are the wars his fault? How is Ravkan economic crisis (which was there even before the Civil war) just his fault? How is Shu-Han and Fjerdan animosity towards Ravka his fault? He didn’t make them hate you! He was working for CENTURIES for Ravka and Grisha. He died for that very same reason (he believed he could protect his people only one way and died fighting for that way, he was not some evil scheming Disney villain - he was a revolutionary leader of an oppressed group, who got tired of the “nice” way and went nuclear) and I will not take any slander of his character. NOPE! Sorry LB, but if you wanted me to hate his ass, you shouldn’t have made him the only person fighting for the oppressed ones. Because when you do that, I stop caring about collateral casualties, which names I don’t even know, that he decided to sacrifice during a f*cking WAR. As a member of an oppressed group myself, I can’t see people from minorities siding with the “heroes”, especially those people that had to fight for their rights and freedom. (just my opinion honestly)
Alright I’m done with defending the Darkling (not really). With everything being said and done in the whole series for this moment, I can only say one thing: Aleksander deserved better. Not only did LB kill him, but she also doomed him to eternal suffering... I just. How can you hate a character you yourself brought to life so much? And he didn’t even get to be recognised by the main characters as anything else than just THE BIG BAD VILLAIN. I’m sorry, but Zoya, are you stupid? IF HE DIDN’T DO IT, YOU AND YOUR WHOLE WORLD WHOULD BE SCREWED! What I’m trying to get to here is, that Sasha was way too good for my girl Alina. She just straight up didn’t do anything for her people, only made it worse, and f*cked away to play house in her stupid little meadow (yes, I’m still salty about those flashbacks. 37 times is enough, don’t you think?!) She was the only Sunsummoner and she just... didn’t care about anything other than destroying the Fold and running away with Malware to raise orphans. THE. HEROES. DIDN’T. DO. SHIT. FOR. GRISHA! They, ultimately, made it worse for them and themselves. How exactly is stopping obligatory drafting gonna help with that war you are fighting? Hmmmmmmm????
So with all this getting on my nerves, I came up with excellent solution to this stupidity. DARKOLAI. Okay, okay hear me out! They are perfect! Aleksander will be his cold logic, protectively possessive, I show love through murder usual self and Nikolai will be the bright funny kind compassionate self. But Nikolai is older than Alina, has connection with Grisha already, served in the First army (was in battles and saw the real war - I’m sorry but cartographer probably doesn’t end up with a gun on the battlefield very often) and is capable of doing the necessary thing even when it’s not morally correct. They would discus the best course of action, then make out, sleep together and face king’s court in the morning. And there would be the sweet sweet friendship between Aleks and Alina that I’m craving!!! They could talk boys together! No stupid Civil war, just Grisha magic shenanigans, politic dilema, Genya Alina and Aleks talking shit about every male inside the Little palace, and sometimes little murder!
YOU CAN KEEP MALINA IF YOU WANT IT SO MUCH LB, BUT GIVE US POLITICIAN HUSBANDS AT LEAST DAMN IT!

Heyo! 👋 hope you're doing well! If you are taking requests right now, maybe some Ichi hurt/comfort? Like maybe he's having a depressive episode one day (me? Projecting? It's more likely than you think 😂) unlike any he's ever had before, and he just doesn't have the strength to do anything, even make snippy remarks at any of his brothers. One (or all, you can pick!) of them notices this odd behavior, and makes it their mission to help him feel a little more like his old self, even if that just means "riding out the storm" with him.
Oof this was really long, lol sorry 😂 but thanks for taking the time to read, I love your writing style! Take care! 👋
eyyy don't be sorry! God I REALLY enjoyed writing this... I love how it turned out
sometimes these guys can be jerks, for sure, even when one of their own is in pain
but... when it's serious... THIS BEAUTIFUL SHIT HAPPENS
please enjoy Ichi being spoiled and surrounded by love from all his brothers because HE DESERVES IT and I love how this turned out <3
-
Ichimatsu’s first (and maybe only) mistake is that he assumes his brothers don’t pay that much attention to him one way or the other unless he speaks up.
Or, maybe it’s that he often hopes they don’t.
Because he knows they care; there are little things they all do that remind him that no matter what, they love him. But they all have their own things to do, and most of the time he finds that best. They should be able to do whatever they like instead of wasting their lives making him feel better. He has a bad day or hates himself so much of the time, if they paid him attention whenever he wasn’t doing well, they’d never get to enjoy themselves with other things.
He cares about them, too. So usually he’d rather they occupy themselves with their own interests whenever he’s not feeling well. He can bury things deep inside and pretend those shitty feelings don’t exist and act almost normal. As normal as someone like him can act, anyway. For their sake. They don’t deserve to worry about him.
Today, he’s too tired for whatever reason. His scathing barbs and negative attitude on most days aren’t really fake… on the bad days, though, he can force his typical demeanor so nobody suspects he’s not fine. All they see is sour-faced, ill-tempered fourth brother Ichimatsu.
He can’t even do that much right now. It’s as if the weight of existence and his own mind is pulling him down, further and further, until he’s drowning in his thoughts. Horrible thoughts. Things telling him he’s worthless, a failure, a burden, good for nothing, should probably be dead… too many things to keep track of.
If he were trying not to get his brothers’ attention by being quiet and listless, it isn’t working. In fact, his current behavior has actually done the opposite.
While he’s lying in the corner of the room, curled around himself and wishing he could fall asleep to avoid dealing with these thoughts and feelings, the others are around their table muttering among themselves.
“You guys noticed he barely touched breakfast, right?” Osomatsu is the first to speak up, and he’s doing his best not to look at Ichimatsu too much, simply because he doesn’t want his younger brother to feel everyone’s eyes on him. He’s pretty sure that would just make matters worse.
Choromatsu hums in agreement. “Yeah, no, he just kind of stared into his tea… he might have taken a sip or two, but that’s about it. I don’t think he even ate any rice.”
“Did he even brush his teeth this morning?” Totty speaks up. “Or his hair? It looks messier than usual, and I was the last one in the bathroom before breakfast, and it didn’t look like his toothbrush had been used.”
“Also,” Karamatsu chimes in, “I believe that is the same outfit he wore yesterday. He didn’t sleep in it, but he put it back on when he got up even though it hasn’t been washed.”
Choromatsu frowns and steals a quick glance at the fourth eldest. “Like he… didn’t wanna think about picking something different out, huh? And… it’s kind of worrying that he didn’t brush his teeth or hair. I mean, that’s basic hygiene. It’s like he’s depressed or… some… thing…”
Suddenly a light bulb goes off, and the rest of the brothers exchange a concerned look with each other.
“Oh,” is all Osomatsu says for a moment. Then, “Fuck.”
Before anyone else can breathe a word, Jyushimatsu leans back away from the table and collapses with his head in Ichimatsu’s lap. “Aaaah, Ichimatsu-nii-chan! Baseball practice today? We can do it at the beach!”
Ichimatsu hardly flinches at the abrupt contact, but really it’s because he doesn’t even have the strength to be startled. He doesn’t move to push Jyushimatsu off or bounce his leg to dissuade the him from staying or anything. It’s a moment until he actually says anything, like a delayed reaction from a computer. “Uh. Not today, Jyushi. I’m probably gonna take a nap.”
“Hmmmmmmm… oh, I know! I’ll nap with you! Maybe we’ll dream about baseball!”
All the others watch closely, waiting to see if he gives an average Ichimatsu reaction. Instead, he doesn’t even shrug. “Yeah, if you want.”
Obviously, that’s not what they would be expecting from any other day. They all look at each other again, minus Jyushimatsu who just curls up against his big brother’s side.
Ichimatsu, on the other hand, is so out of it in his own head that he doesn’t realize that he’s done anything to worry his brothers. They should all be paying attention to their own shit, right?
He just feels so exhausted despite that he knows he slept okay last night. All he did this morning was wake up and get out of bed and already he’s… drained.
You’re so lazy. You can’t even put together the energy it takes to read a fucking magazine or something? To do nothing like you usually do? What kind of loser doesn’t have enough energy to do something like watch TV?
What the hell is wrong with you?
He cringes at the sound of his own inner voice berating him, and ducks his head down between his knees. Shit. Everything hurts. Isn’t that right, though? He’s useless. It doesn’t take any effort to just sit somewhere watching TV or reading and yet he’s not even willing to do something like that.
Even though he expects that Jyushimatsu might want to hang out with him, because the two of them are close, he doesn’t anticipate it when Osomatsu comes over and sits himself down across from Ichimatsu. At least, he thinks it’s Osomatsu. He doesn’t really feel like lifting his head fully; it looks like a red hoodie, though.
“Uh, hey, Ichimacchan.” Osomatsu feels a little awkward at first, mainly due to the fact that he’s never sure what to do when Ichimatsu is in one of ‘these’ moods. What works on one day might not work the next time. Previous experience is all he has to draw on, though.
“I noticed you didn’t eat too much at breakfast… you in the mood for something sweet?” Tempting him with one of their favorite treats might put him in better spirits, at least for a minute. “There’s a box of imagawayaki on the counter… there’s three in there, so we can split ‘em. Mom said these ones have chocolate cream in them.”
Everyone else lets out a blissful sigh as they all think about how delicious that’s going to be. Bean paste or custard or even regular cream is always good, but chocolate cream? If they had to fight over those, someone might end up dead.
Ichimatsu offers a shrug in his brother’s direction. “Sure, if you guys want. I’m just not that hungry.”
Osomatsu frowns, and looks over toward Choromatsu who’s thankfully recovered from the imagawayaki imagine spot. None of the brothers would ever turn that down. Even if they weren’t necessarily hungry, they’d make room for something that good. Moreover, given that Ichimatsu didn’t eat anything at breakfast, he should be starving,especially for sweets.
Choromatsu makes his way over, setting a careful hand on Ichimatsu’s shoulder. He doesn’t have any more of a clue what to do than their eldest, so he’s flying by the seat of his pants just as much. Something has to be done… they can’t just let poor Ichimatsu suffer. “Ichimacchan? It’s pretty cold today. How about I turn on the kotatsu, and if you’re gonna nap, you can sleep with your legs under it? That might feel nice.”
Well. That does sound nice, Ichimatsu thinks, because curling up under the heat of the kotatsu is always nice in the winter. But… he’s pretty sure he doesn’t have the energy to even move from this spot. “Oh, yeah… I’ll probably just nap here, though. Don’t really feel like moving.”
“Aaah, but you are cold, aren’t you? I can hear your teeth chattering from all the way over here!” Karamatsu is up in an instant, tugging his leather jacket off his shoulders. Although it leaves him in nothing but a tank top ― and a horribly plain grey one, at that ― it’s a necessary sacrifice for his little brother’s comfort.
He hurries over to where everyone else is gathering and gently drapes the jacket over Ichimatsu’s shoulders. “Hmph… Karamatsu to the rescue as usual! You’re looking cozier already.”
Man,Ichimatsu’s mind comes up with, I try on Shittymatsu’s dumbass jacket one time and suddenly he’s coming up with any excuse to put the stupid thing over me. Do I really want him freezing instead of me? Why don’t I just move my ass over to the kotatsu? He’s gonna catch a cold and it’ll be all my fault because my stubborn ass didn’t move and he took pity on me.
God, I wanna die. They’re all falling all over themselves to do shit to cheer me up when they should be focusing on themselves. I’m fucking trash, making my brothers waste all their damn time on me. Why couldn’t I just do stuff and not make them worry?
“… Ichimatsu-nii-san?” Totty has plopped himself down in front of Ichimatsu, staring in concern at his big brother. Fuck. He’s using that eye voodoo of his, and if he says anything, if he asks Ichimatsu a question, he’s gonna get an honest answer despite the fact that Ichimatsu doesn’t want to admit anything.
He can’t help it, though. Totty’s hand is soft as he reaches up toward Ichimatsu’s face, thumbing away tears that Ichimatsu didn’t even realize he’d started to cry. But his youngest brother is delicate in the way he brushes them, so caring and tender that any little bit of strength Ichimatsu had to keep things hidden away crumbles quickly.
“Hehe,” Totty chuckles, though there isn’t a genuine mirth behind it, “you’re not having a good day, Ichimatsu-nii-san… are you?”
He blinks, and more tears start to drip down his cheeks. This time Totty doesn’t make a move to wipe them away, instead staring at his brother with those big, sad doe eyes, glittering with sympathy.
Ichimatsu lets his head drop again, eyes pressing against his arm and tears soaking into his sleeve. “N-no,” he manages to say in a quiet, insecure, small voice. He hates it. He hates making this stupid confession, because he should be able to take care of himself. His brothers don’t need to be huddled around him, pissing their days down the drain. “I’m… I’m having a bad day.”
With that, it’s like all five of them attach themselves to him all at once. There’s a brief cacophony of worry and reassurances, and a hug Ichimatsu almost loses himself inside of.
“Alright, you hear that, guys?” Osomatsu announces, maybe a bit louder than he really needs to. “Ichimatsu’s having a bad day! Woohoo!”
Choromatsu scoffs. “Ah, ‘woohoo’?? Osomatsu, you idiot! This isn’t a good thing!”
Osomatsu pulls away to rub a finger under his nose with a grin. “Hey, sure it is! He said it, didn’t he? Good for you, Ichimacchan! You’re having a bad day and you said so! Remember what happened when Totty kept junk from us? We need to know this shit! I’m glad you said something!”
Karamatsu’s hand tousles Ichimatsu’s hair as he pulls his brother into a hug. “Yes, Osomatsu is right. You’re having a bad day, Ichimatsu, and that’s just fine. It takes a lot of bravery to admit it, so we’re proud of you.”
“Plus, we’re gonna make this the best bad day ever!” Totty hums. He’s whipped his phone out before anyone can so much as blink, typing away on it. “It’s just about lunch time, so I’m gonna order some takeout! Ichimatsu-nii-san, what sounds good? Curry? Sushi? Ooh… maybe fried chicken? We don’t do that too often… might be a nice treat! Oh, it’s your call, though.”
Osomatsu gives Ichimatsu a tiny bump on the shoulder with his fist. “You and Totty figure that out while I go cut that imagawayaki for us. Be right back, guys.”
… Am I in the fucking Twilight Zone or something? What the hell???
Ichimatsu lifts his head just a little, looking at all his brothers. Totty’s on his phone looking at delivery options, Osomatsu is headed to the kitchen, Jyushimatsu is nuzzled against his side…
None of them are leaving him by himself. They all still want to be here even when his mood sucks ass. Even when he can’t really do anything for himself. Even when he’s being a huge fucking pain and a thorn in their sides and doing literally nothing to contribute to the day.
What the hell are they all doing? Why are they all fine with wasting their day taking care of him?
When Karamatsu presses a couple of tissues into his hand, Ichimatsu somehow finds the energy to use them to wipe his face. Fuck, he hates crying, and he hates people seeing him cry. “Don’t do this,” he mumbles. “You’re fucking morons. You have better shit to do than…”
“No way!” Jyushimatsu aggressively snuggles against the side of Ichimatsu’s stomach, circling his arms around his brother’s waist. “What better shit could weeeee have to do? We’re shitty NEETs!”
Choromatsu chuckles. “Besides, there’s literally nothing more important than taking care of each other, especially when one of us is down and out. Ichimatsu, you… know none of us are shy when it comes to being honest. So, just… try to believe us when we say there’s nothing we’d rather be doing than being with you right now.”
He straightens up, then gingerly taps Jyushimatsu with his foot. “Hey, Jyushi, how about you scoot yourself and Ichimatsu over to the kotatsu? And Totty, are you really gonna make a delivery driver come out in this weather? It’s almost below freezing! Why don’t you go get it yourself?”
“Excuse you, but if they haven’t shut down the delivery option, why shouldn’t I take advantage of it? I don’t wanna leave Ichimatsu-nii-san!”
“Okay, okay… I guess that’s fair. What are you ordering, again?”
“Aaaah, I dunno! I was waiting for Ichimatsu-nii-san to say what he feels like.”
Meanwhile, Jyushimatsu has somehow gotten himself and Ichimatsu over to the kotatsu, and is currently shoving his big brother’s legs under it while Choromatsu moves to plug it in. “Home run, YEAH! Your tootsies will be toasty in no time, Ichimatsu-nii-san!”
“O-oh… thanks, Jyushi…” That’s about all he can say, really. He’s slumped over the table in a matter of seconds, and although there’s no way it can support the weight of everything he feels like he’s being crushed under, feels a little more relaxing than holding himself in a tight ball in the corner.
He’s going to cry again. He’s pretty sure he’s going to cry again. His brothers, his selfish, douche-a-holic, demon brothers… would rather be taking care of him on a bad day than out doing their own things, not touching him or his shitty mood with a ten-foot pole.
Jyushimatsu is cuddled up on one side, and he can feel Karamatsu settling in on the other with an arm around Ichimatsu’s shoulders. That’s it. He’s surrounded by brothers and their warm, selfless-for-once-in-their-lives affection. He has to surrender. He doesn’t stand a chance.
His mind drifts back to the others. “Oh… Totty…”
“Oh! Yeah, mhm?”
“Um… curry sounds good, I guess.”
The impossibly huge smile on his youngest brother’s face comes through even when he speaks. “Oh, great! Curry it is! Okaaaay, I’m gonna get it from that nice place in town. You want it with rice or udon? Or do you want curry bread?”
“Uhh… just with rice.”
“Rice, okay, sounds good! Beef, chicken, or pork?”
“Huh… you mentioned fried chicken, now that sounds good. Does that place do curry rice with tonkatsu on top?”
“Oooh… that does sound good. Yeah, I think there’s an option for that. Chicken tonkatsu with curry rice, then?”
“Yeah.”
“Gotcha. Is that what everybody wants?”
“Yeah, Totty,” Choromatsu injects, “just order the same thing for everybody. We’ll all eat that.”
“Okay, what about sides? Does anyone want fukujinzuke or rakkyō?”
“Geez, just… just get half of each and we can divide it up if anyone wants any.”
“Okaaay! I’m not ordering drinks from there, though… too expensive. We have tea here. Oh, I’ll get a few orders of pork curry bread, too, in case we want a snack later.”
“Well, make sure you get either three or six.”
“Yeahhhh, Cherrymatsu, I’m not stupid! I’ll just get three; I’m fine buying some, but I’m not trying to go broke! Does that sound okay, Ichimatsu-nii-san? The curry bread for later?”
It takes a moment, but finally Ichimatsu lets out a breathy, almost tearful laugh as he leans against Karamatsu’s shoulder. “Totty… you’re trying to fatten me up… you witch… you’re gonna cook me and eat me… that’s your plan, huh?…”
The whole room erupts into a small fit of laughter, even Totty who’s blushing at being teased. Ichimatsu feels Karamatsu press a kiss to his head, and he sighs. Usually he wouldn’t be able to take all of this… the attention, and Totty blabbering away, and Choromatsu trying to be responsible, and… everything.
At the moment, it feels right. Like things are supposed to be this way. Like he’s supposed to be having a bad day so his brothers can all gather around him and remind him that regardless of anything else, when one of them needs their brothers, everyone is going to be there.
Maybe he needed that reminder.
Maybe they all did.

BnHA Chapter 285: You Looked Like You Needed Saving
Previously on BnHA: Deku was all, “hey guys I’m just gonna fight Tomura one on one and risk my own life rather than risk letting him do the whole Destroying Everything bit again.” Kacchan was all “WAIT NO ARE YOU SERIOUS THAT’S THE EXACT THING I HATE THE MOST” and indignantly launched into his “P.S. I CARE ABOUT DEKU” flashback, which was a revelation in that it proved exactly what Bakugou fans have been saying this whole time, AND YET OUR MINDS WERE STILL BLOWN ANYWAY, BECAUSE HOLY SHIT, HE REALLY WENT AND SAID IT OUT LOUD THOUGH. Anyway, so Deku’s strategy for defeating Tomura is to, you guessed it, break his fucking arms again; and meanwhile a frantic Katsuki is gearing up on the sidelines to do something really awesome and incredibly stupid, probably; and all in all it’s a pretty terrible situation our boys have found themselves in. Terrible for them, but GREAT for me, and I’ve never been so hyped in my life omg.
Today on BnHA: Deku breaks both of his arms like a dozen times over. Like, just pages and pages of arm breaking. Just like in the good old days! Meanwhile Kacchan is all “jesus christ, okay you know what would be a better idea, JUST SETTING HIM ON FIRE AGAIN”, and so he grabs Shouto and Endeavor, and they do a whole Prominence Burn combo thing. The AFO-inside-of-Tomura is all “‘sup it’s me again, but seriously now would be a REALLY good time to let me take over your body”, and so Tomura TOTALLY DOES LET HIM TAKE OVER, WHOOP, and so AFO is all “HELLS YEAH.” And then he STRAIGHT UP STABS MY SON, WHOSE BODY WAS SIMPLY MOVING ON ITS OWN, YOU KNOW, JUST HERO THINGS. Anyway so now Kacchan is fucking dead*, and so if I were AFO I would start putting as much distance as possible between myself and Deku right the fuck now, because boy, IF YOU THOUGHT HE WAS MAD BEFORE? Holy shit. We’re about to see a whole new level aren’t we.
LOL WE’RE OFF TO A GRAND OLD START
Tumblr media
Deku’s arms should sue for legal emancipation. I think most of us can agree that they’re probably better off without him. sure they’ll have to buy their own food and stuff, but I think the trade-off is more than fair
oh wow that 100% shit really is something though
Tumblr media
too bad it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! spoiler alert. I don’t even have to scroll to the next page, Deku. we already know
OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS
Tumblr media
did Deku really pull off some “three hits in one” bullshit, or is this a mistranslation referring to the fact that Deku’s already hit him twice with his left arm, and so this is now the third 100% hit. kinda hoping for the latter, ngl. either way though, I’m really getting a “Deku’s arms are legitimately done for” vibe from this
ESPECIALLY SINCE:
Tumblr media
DEKU YOU SHRUB!!! WAS IT WORTH IT YOU EGG FDKF KKDJ YOU DON’T GET BONUS POINTS FOR BREAKING THEM TWICE
goddammit I’m pretty sure he just Detroit Smashed the last remaining hero brain cell. now they have diddly squat to work with, oh this is bad
...
Tumblr media
do you guys remember a few weeks back when I was joking about him breaking the rest of his bones and using Blackwhip to move his shattered body around like a grotesque marionette. do you specifically remember the part where that was a joke
holy shit Deku. it’s like we’re all the way back to square one with you. wasn’t that like the first thing Aizawa taught you, not to break your whole body apart? how are you supposed to fight Tomura if you can’t move?? why didn’t you wait for one of your pals who could hit him with an attack from long range WITHOUT BREAKING EVERY SINGLE BONE IN THEIR BODIES. WHERE DID YOUR BIG HERO BRAIN GO
boy you better pray one of those remaining quirks is a healing factor, or else you’re gonna be on IR for a LONG time. anyway. idk why I’m getting so worked up when I already knew this was going to happen lol. it’s just like Katsuki said; he takes himself out of the equation. it’s worth sacrificing his own body if it means he can take out AFO and prevent Tomura from hurting anyone else again. it’s just that... well. you know that saying about taking calculated risks when you are bad at math?
GUH I REALLY HATE THAT TOMURA IS STILL COMPLETELY FINE KSKWOILWKKJ AT LEAST PRETEND TO BE A LITTLE HURT, WOULD YOU
Tumblr media
please ignore all of those worried-sounding thoughts; I think we all know that’s a bunch of bullshit. completely and utterly fine. the only person Deku’s attacks hurt was himself. hip hip hooray
anyway. so now, this!
Tumblr media
pretty sure he can’t use Decay or AFO without at least touching SOMETHING, so I’m guessing this is another one of his new quirks. dammit Tomura why are you so fucking invincible
HAHAHA MEANWHILE
Tumblr media
if I were you, Deku’s Arms, I would simply detach from his body altogether at this point. cut my losses. mmm
OOF HE HIT HIM WITH THE WHOLE OF TEXAS
Tumblr media
spoiler alert: again, it did nothing. SORRY TO KEEP RUINING THE SUSPENSE FOR YOU GUYS. is there a single human being reading this who thought for even for the milliest of seconds that this stood a chance of working though
OH MY GOD
Tumblr media
DEKU GET IT TOGETHER YOU’RE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THE ENIGMA OF AMIGARA FAULT AND I CAN’T STAND THIS ACTUALLY
so Tomura is all “there must be something I can do to stop this fucking kid” and shuffling through his quirk pokedex while he’s tossed around bleeding in the air
hey Tomura I’ll tell you right now that you don’t actually need to do a damn thing except not die for roughly the next thirty seconds or so, and then you’ve got this. the quirk that can stop this kid is called “One for All”, and it just so happens he’s already got you covered bruh
and Katsuki’s realized the same thing, apparently!
Tumblr media
SHOUTO YOU’RE NOT EVEN LOOKING?? wow that is some trust right there. focused on cauterizing Gran and Aizawa’s wounds, I guess
MEANWHILE KATSUKI IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS. HE FOUND A NEW BRAIN CELL! A WHOLE DAMN CACHE OF FRESH NEW BRAIN CELLS, LOOK AT THIS
Tumblr media
THANKS FOR THAT, PROFESSOR
OH SHIT SON ARE WE MOUNTING A COUNTERATTACK?
Tumblr media
I like how Endeavor is just SITTING THERE in the background looking all disgruntled. yes, sorry about that sir, this is now Kacchan’s show. he’s in charge now. time for that long-range attack I was complaining about them not doing earlier?? hopefully?? omg
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS IT’S A BAKUROKI TRIPLE COMBO?!?!
Tumblr media
ARE YOU GOING TO YEET THEM A LA GANG ORCA?? ALSO OH MY GOD, HE REALLY IS IN CHARGE. FIRST DEKU TOOK OVER FOR TWO MINUTES UNTIL HE BROKE ALL HIS BONES, AND NOW IT’S KACCHAN’S TIME. I’M SO PROUD OF YOU KIDS
LOL SHOUTO’S GETTING IN ON THIS TOO
Tumblr media
THIS JUST IN, THE KIDS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE MANGA, ADULTS OF BNHA IN SHAMBLES
Tumblr media
WELL MAYBE NEXT TIME DON’T LET AIZAWA GET SHOT THEN, YOU HAT!!!
WOOP OKAY WE FLYING NOW
Tumblr media
Kacchan, tired of sitting back watching Deku invent new ways to die, decides to improvise a few of his own. hmmmmmmm
(ETA: HE LEARNED FROM THE BEST ORZ.)
OKAY WAIT A MINUTE NOW
Tumblr media
why does this sound like he’s planning something on his own after the Todorokis have done their part. KACCHAN. EXCUSE ME, KACCHAN
SDLFKJLKJLJ
Tumblr media
OKAY HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
Tumblr media
IS THIS LEADING WHERE I THINK IT’S LEADING, HOLY --
-- ooOF
Tumblr media
I WASN’T FUCKING READY FOR THAT ONE. BAKUBULLYING FROM HIS OWN NOW-REMORSEFUL POV. SHIT. FUCKING FELT THAT. HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUILDING UP TO AN “ALL FOR ONE FOR ALL” REVEAL, AND THEN YOU GO AND PULL THAT INSTEAD, WHAT’S GOING ON
-- HOLD UP WE’RE NOT DONE WITH THIS ONE YET MAYBE!!
Tumblr media
“ONE FOR ALL IS”??!? KDSLFJAKLSJLKJLKJL AND THEN INTERRUPTING ME WITH THE CUTE BABIES WATCHING THE ALL MIGHT FOOTAGE, OH MY GOD. I’M JUST WILDLY REACTING TO EVERYTHING THAT’S BEING THROWN AT ME RIGHT NOW LMAO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS IS LEADING
OOF THE NOTEBOOK
Tumblr media
KACCHAN THIS ISN’T EVEN YOUR MEMORY HONEY, GET IT TOGETHER
OH MY GLOB
Tumblr media
THIS IS THE MOST NONSENSICAL SEQUENCE OF PANELS RIGHT NOW. I’M SURE THIS IS ALL SHORTLY GOING TO COME TOGETHER IN SOME PROFOUND WAY THAT’S GOING TO KICK MY EMOTIONS SQUARE IN THE BALLS, BUT RIGHT NOW I’M JUST ALL “OOH AHH” LIKE SOME HAPLESS RUBE ALONG FOR THE RIDE. p.s. this chapter still doesn’t have a title!! p.p.s. Horikoshi is a knave
(ETA: HORIKOSHI IS A FUCKING MALFEASANT!!)
I CAN’T TAKE THIS??
Tumblr media
PLEASE STOP BUILDING UP TO WHATEVER IT IS YOU’RE BUILDING UP TO AND JUST SAY IT ALREADY, I’M DYING OMG
...and we’re cutting back to the action. godfuckingdammit it’s gonna be one of those chapters where the entire thing is just buildup to some huge reveal on the very last page isn’t it
(ETA: [sounds of screaming heard in the distance])
anyway so this next page is just Deku flying in the air, and Tomura flying through the air, and Endeavor+Katsuki+Shouto flying through the air, and everyone’s flying through the air, and we’re all just flying. TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT THE CURSE OF OFA DAMN IT
OOHHHHHH
Tumblr media
guess if it was good enough for Hood, it’s probably their best shot huh. better than whatever the fuck Deku was trying to pull at any rate
OOP
Tumblr media
gotta admit, if I didn’t already know full well that Tomura could not possibly die here, I’d have been pretty convinced he was dying here lol
DSFKJL ENDEAVOR BUDDY YOU MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY OVERDONE IT JUST A BIT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
wait... is that Blackwhip...?? or???
OH SHIT
Tumblr media
WHAT EVEN IS THIS CHAPTER, COME ON
-- FMMMJAKAKJDJL, UM
Tumblr media
TIME TO SCROLL BACK UP TO THAT PANEL OF TOMURA BEING MELTED, AND READ WHAT AFO WAS SAYING A LITTLE MORE CAREFULLY LMAOOOO. LOL. WHOOPS. OH NO KATSUKI WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
AHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
WHAT’S WITH THE NARRATION SQUARE ALL OF A SUDDEN AHHHHHH
oh my fresh and citrusy lord. this is it isn’t it. all of my theories converge at once. Tomura being possessed by AFO; OFA is AFO/Deku has AFO; Katsuki does something stupid and loses his quirk. THE PERFECT STORM. THEORY SINGULARITY
oh my lord oh my god oh my lord oh my god honey what are you doing, honey, no
Tumblr media
his body’s moving before he can think. WHAT ARE THESE FLASHBACKS OF ALL HIS DEKU RELATED MEMORIES. BULLYING DEKU, BEING SAVED FROM THE SLUDGE MONSTER, RECONCILING WITH HIM AT GROUND BETA, OH MY GOD. I’M NOT READY. [WRAPS MYSELF IN A BLANKET BURRITO AND SLOWLY SCROLLS DOWN FROM THE SAFETY OF MY COCOON]
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
HORIKOSHI KOUHEI: [LOADS GUN WITH CHAPTER TITLE AND AIMS DIRECTLY FOR MY HEART]
ME: [SWEATING]
HORIKOSHI: [SMILES, REACHES FOR THE TRIGGER... AND THEN SUCKER PUNCHES ME SQUARE IN THE FACE]
excuse me WHAT. PARDON, THE FUCK. WHY ARE THE FIRST FEW LONE PIANO NOTES OF ADELE’S “SKYFALL” PLAYING. WHAT THE FUCK
excuse me, Horikoshi. excuse me, could I just -- could I get. COULD I JUST GET A WORD WITH YOU FOR A MINUTE. SIR
son of a. ...how am I even supposed to wrap this up. just
sob okay. so let’s just. ...
All for One 100% just took Tomura’s body over. like, he was all “Tomura, you’re fucking dying, just give me your body you muppet”, and Tomura couldn’t really argue on account of he really was dying, and so, YOINK. which is the sound that a body makes when it’s being taken over, I think
All for One then activated his forced activation quirk?? which OF FUCKING COURSE he passed on to Tomura as well. so THAT’S JUST GREAT
Kacchan is seriously the fastest character in the series. the reflexes, the sheer speed necessary to intercept that hit? goddamn
every single one of those BakuDeku flashbacks are now wanted by the FBI for first-degree murder of me
this has nothing to do with Kacchan fucking dying and stuff, but is it just me or were there HUGE “Kacchan as Bakugou’s hero name” vibes earlier on in this chapter with the flashbacks to Deku explaining the meaning behind his own name, HMM
and speaking of, this is the first time we’ve gotten Kacchan narrating in the little box panels, unless I’m completely mistaken somehow. Horikoshi really waited almost 300 whole chapters to do that. and it was worth it. holy shit
fun fact, this moment is something that’s been on my wishlist since chapter 12 lol, you can go back and check the recap if you want. back then I called it a long shot. oh how the times have changed
I DON’T KNOW HOW I’M EVEN SO STUNNED ABOUT THIS, GUYS. this is exactly what I predicted at the end of the last chapter. MY CHILD IS DUMB. THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT. HE’S THAT EXACT KIND OF SHOUNEN DUMB. WE’VE KNOWN IT ALL ALONG
oh my god. and now Deku’s gonna go ham, arms or no arms. AND BETS ON WHICH NEW QUIRK HE’S ABOUT TO UNLOCK? because the last time someone so much as insulted Kacchan in his presence, he SPONTANEOUSLY GREW SHADOW TENTACLES OUT OF THE BLUE AND ATTEMPTED TO MURDER THE PERSON. so if this kid has got ANYTHING left up his sleeve, I have to imagine that SEEING HIS PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD FRIEND TAKE A DEADLY ATTACK MEANT FOR HIM is gonna leave him feeling SOME KINDA WAY. I literally have no idea what’s going to happen next but I would not count this angry little broccoli out yet. not as long as he’s still conscious
anyway. so I wonder what’s the world record for continuous screaming, and whether or not I could break said record by doing such nonstop from now until a week from now when I finally get to read the next chapter
...lol apparently the record is only 8 mins and 45 seconds so GOOD NEWS GUYS, WITH THE POWER OF THIS NEW CHAPTER, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE HISTORY. DEEP BREATH. -- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

O + T + P for fandom ask meme
For the ASK MEME:
Okay, so OTP *cracks knuckles* O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of? Okay, so for this, I turned my Spotify on shuffle and went with the first song that came up, and it is BRILLIANT. Lady Luck is on form tonight. I could not have picked a better song myself https://youtu.be/qJYbFFFZwdE Part of the Union - Strawbs ROM! This song is Rom. Forever and always. 🎶'Ohhhhhhhh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union' 🎶 Too right! T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything) Hmmmmmmm. Okay, so my absolute unshakable headcanon is  that Julian Bashir's accent isn't the one that he grew up with but the one that he cultivated specifically later on in life - probably when he was either at school or the Academy/Med School. I have two reasons for this: 1. His accent is absolutely nothing like his father's (or his mother’s). I’m going to kind of focus a little more on his dad’s accent here, as both their accents are English (which suggests to me that Julian probably grew up there somewhere). His dad has a strong Estuary, working class kind of accent. Julian's is much closer to RP. Accents tend to be really heavily associated with class in the UK, and whilst not everyone has the same accent as their parents (I don't), generally you have the same kind of class indicators even if it's a different dialect (I do). So it does seem strange to me that Julian's accent is so cut glass, whereas his father's is the absolute opposite. 2. His accent (certainly in the earlier series) isn't one that you find in the wild here, so to speak. It's the sort of accent that you *learn*. Yes, yes, I know it's probably a function of Trek being a US series, since this happens with a lot of Brits in US TV from that era (they have a stereotypical accent that actually kinda doesn't really exist here. See: Buffy. lol), but it does have interesting implications. Namely that he consciously modified his own accent to sound like that for whatever reason.  And this headcanon kinda makes me sad, in a way, as I'd like to think that by the time we get to the Trek future, such strict class divisions aren't a thing anymore, and therefore there’s no pressure to lose your accent. But the fact that Julian's accent gives absolutely no hint about where he's from (beyond a general vague sort of 'Brit, probably' vibe) sort of suggests otherwise. And that he felt the need for it to be that way.
(I actually have loads of accent headcanons. I have a particularly wild one for Picard involving a translator ‘quirk’ and some good old Anglo-French relations)   P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas) Okay, I'm going to cheat and do this for Good Omens, as I've got a really good one (that I'm probably never going to actually properly write, even though I've been thinking about this for over two years and have already got the first two chapters of it done. lol). Coffee Shop AU. Wait, wait, hear me out. Post not-apocalypse, Crowley decides to open a coffee shop in his semi-retirement, because a demon's got to do something to while away the decades before Hell decides that they'd like him back, actually. And really, he's got to make sure he stays in the Bad Books (because we all know they're not going to leave him alone for long). Got to keep a hand in when it comes to the old Evil Incarnate business, and what could be more evil than sweeping gentrification and overpriced coffee (served to the sound of a band you've never heard of - likely with good reason)? A deeply uncool demon operating a deeply uncool coffee shop. Hipster catnip. And, honestly, I think that would be pretty funny.

1, 6, 21!
(Author Ask Game)
1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason? Hmmmmmmm there are a couple of these - mostly for the same reason, which is that I have multiple WIPs on AO3 already, and I don't want to start more until at least one of the ones I have is concluded. But the first one I think of is the Murderbot!Benrey crossover that will be very loosely based on the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, but with the Science Team in place of the Survey Team and Benrey as the resident non-human Security Unit. He would be a lot brattier than Murderbot itself, though, so there will be a fair amount of changes to figure out. There's also the haunted house fic, the desert ghost fic, the Alien Abduction prequel, etc. I'll get there when I get there...which is eventually.
6) something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change now Honestly, nothing major as far as the writing goes. I haven't got enough published to be seriously dissatisfied with any of it yet. It might have been good to do a real outline for Sweet Dreams, though - then maybe I wouldn't have had to take a month-long gap to figure out what the hell was going on and what the reasoning was for Gordon just showing up in Benrey's dreamscape. I did feel bad about leaving people hanging for so long with that, especially since the actual ending itself was already done.
21) what do you think when you read over your older work? I just hope I don't find any typos... But also, since my "older work" that's posted is less than two years old, I'm mostly just still pleased with it. I'm sure that, over time, more awkward phrases will emerge, or plot points I could have handled better - but for now I'm close enough to it that I'm still just delighted to re-read things. I wrote them all for me, after all. I'm the only one who's going to laugh at all my jokes.

Check-In Tag✨
AKA a very long post about moi and this account bc I was tagged by the lovely @katelfiredemon <3
IF YOU SEE THIS, PRETEND I'M TAGGING U like this is completely optional (and long omg) so I don't wanna FORCE anyone to do it but asjhkl I think it's cute
1. why did you choose your url?
My og url was something dumb bc I only used tumblr to keep up with artists and writers I admired… this one is revamped to be ~relatable~ bc I wanted something that I felt comfortable adding on my art?? But ok-
clueless = because THERE’S TIMES THAT I’M A LIL SLOW TO GET A JOKE SDFHJKL
lesbian = bc I’m not out to my family but my sexuality is something I like about me,,, so I wanted to acknowledge it somewhere (and the anonymity of tumblr = ideal tbh)
2. any side blogs? if you have them: name them and why you have them
I made one like yesterday lol! It’s @blue-dragon-shin-ah and it’s for Akatsuki no Yona (an anime and manga I TOTALLY rec! It’s like a historical themed fantasy, comedy, romance WITH a found family trope it’s so good)
but ngl I have no clue how to keep track of more than 1 blog so it'll be a lot more inactive than this one asdhkl
3. how long you’ve been on tumblr?
hmm according to my tumblr account it’d be 2016 since that’s the oldest post I’ve kept (I deleted everything and revamped this acc in december 2020)
BUT I did the math and I would’ve made this account in middle school so around 2013-2014 lol I don’t think I used it much until voltron was booming in like 2016-2018.. Then I lowkey stopped… until now!
4. do you have a queue tag?
oof no
……...I probably should? like 90% of my blog is queued or scheduled… but ngl I barely remember to tag posts at ALL some nights so I probably won’t (rip if that’s annoying,, but I don’t make much og content so I figure anyone following me is chill with this lol)
5. why did you start your blog in the first place?
In middle school?? To see funny posts and not be pressured into having an ~online presence~ tbh. That’s literally it lol
6. why did you choose your icon?
Matching with @lesbianklance rn! and keith's expressions r hilarious
Before I just,,, chose sokka bc I love that blue boi and the edit of him had a yellow bg that I LOVED (and matched with my pink theme)
7. why did you choose your header?
Matching with @lesbianklance rn! and klance sdjfhk
Before it was just a colour palette bc I wanted my blog to be my fav colour: PINK
8. what’s your post with the most notes?
My zukka art omg- like I did one that I put effort into which I KNOW is my top post (it’s got like 600 notes??? I still can’t believe it I love that!! 🥰)
BUT MY SECOND TOP IS A POST OF REALLY REALLY ROUGH SKETCHES OF THEM AND I LOWKEY CRINGE AT IT (it’s got like 500 notes.. And I’m like… y ?? I can DO BETTER 😭)
9. how many mutuals do you have?
…...listen I’ve literally never had mutuals until this year (minus my one irl.. I love u bitch!! but u know that bc we text on other platforms too)
idek am i supposed to be keeping track??? I just smile a lot when i see the darker-tinted notifs in my activity feed
10. how many followers do you have?
hmmmmmmm ok i lowkey don’t want to answer this bc my whole love for tumblr is that followers don’t matter? You could follow me today and unfollow tmrw bc i ship something you don’t and life moves on??? So yeah no answer here
11. how many people do you follow?
1807 babeyyyy
12. have you ever made a shitpost?
...wait define shitpost- technically any original post under #yeetidk might be a shitpost cause they’re all just?? my shitty rambles tbh???
13. how often do you use tumblr each day?
Sometimes i’ve got the app open allll day long but other days?? I’ll go on like once in the morning or at night just to check my notifs and then that’s it
14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
lmaoo bold of you to assume i interact with anyone enough to have a fight (AKA no)
If i did tho?? I’m the type to try and come to some middle ground before dropping the issue so idk- i’m more likely to lose bc i’m willing to (づ ̄3 ̄)
15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
Wish-granting/curse stuff: no.
Politics/Donation posts: depends! I try to only reblog posts like these that I know a bit about bc I don’t really wanna contribute to misinformation ykno?
I did start tagging these posts as #important but I’m not like?? gonna be mad at anyone for not reblogging political posts (also a heads-up if you wanted to block #important: I also tag some lgbt+ stuff under there so you’ll likely miss those too, not a huuuge loss but just an fyi yknow??)
16. do you like tag games?
asdfghjkl this is honestly the first tag game i’ve ever been part of so i have no opinion 😭 tho formatting this post has been a bitch asdhjkl I gotta get back to my homework when I'm finally done this
17. do you like ask games?
I've done a grand total of 1 and I felt so?? ashgjl awkward and bad for asking people to talk to me about myself- maybe if I do one that isn't about me I'll like it more
I do love sending other people anons to compliment them when they do these games tho 😌
18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
....this requires me to pay attention to people I follow more than I have been so I literally have no idea??
19. do i have a crush on a mutual?
yes. the one readings this. love u, sweetheart 😘
/jokes
I don't?? usually get crushes? idek.. thought I was aromantic for a while bc of that lmaoo (but then I got a crush on someone irl and I was like "oooh ok so maybe im just gay then")

ep 6
sam as captain america 😭😭😭 AND HE STILL HAS THE WINGS, for real, i needed a moment, oh my god
i am... gonna need some background on how sharon lost all her morals. she went from "gonna do what i think is right" to "idgaf about anything", like bish, what tf happened
i like the conversation between bucky and karli, that's a nice touch
bucky and his motorcycle moves 👌👀
LOVE karli just... using people dying to distract bucky because she knows he'll save them. smart move.
john w*lker is back and he has morals now i guess ew
the greatest weakness of this show is the fact that lemar died. a black man died so a white man could get some character development. so he could learn to become a better person. fuck off. and then they give walker the line "you think lemar's life didn't matter" WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS. it's a joke. it's extremely condescending. it's so completely out of step with everything else this show is trying to do, and i'm so angry that the rest of this show's message has to be tainted because your own narrative undermines anything you want to say. fuck.
if they had addressed this in any other way, made a meta comment on it, shown us that they KNEW they were using a problematic trope and were turning it on its head, they could have salvaged it. but they didn't. it's a disgrace. i hate it.
the ONLY way to save it now is for lemar to not be dead at some point in the future.
and sam and bucky just being cool with him being there? treating him as a pal? he straight up murdered someone, come on. this is such stupid writing.
sharon as the powerbroker, no surprise, but man, they need to do some explaining. personally, i don't like it, because she's now the kind of character i despise most of all, the ones who believe in nothing. but we'll see.
sam refusing to fight karli!!!! THIS IS GOOD SHIT
also holy shit, sam has all the HOTTEST MOVES. the fact that he's not a super soldier or has any magical powers just means he has to be that much better tactically AND HE IS. i love this.
sharon "saving" sam, but in fact only saving her own ass, bc karli would reveal her identity... sharon, i hope you trip down some stairs, i can't believe you'd do peggy dirty like this, damn
SAM DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE AN ANGEL
god i almost forgive all their other transgressions just for that image alone, who ever designed this, thank you thank you thank you
bucky is so proud 😭😭 (and in love, omg, sebastian, for real, what's with the heart eyes)
fucking get these politicians' ASSES sam
i like how the final fight actually wasn't really a big boss fight at all. they were mostly rescuing hostages, and sam refused to fight karli, and now he's making clear that the politicians are just as much the problem. a better way to end it than i expected, because it keeps the moral ambivalence. it's much more interesting.
it does feel like a few scenes were missing from this? like they had to cut scenes for length and now it feels slightly off in places? kind of odd, none of the other eps had this problem quite like this
walker kills someone and gets stripped of everything. sharon kills someone and gets... a pardon... love this logic.
(i know he was doing it to someone who wasn't a threat and she was "saving" sam, so i guess it's justifiable to them, but even so, could have shot karli in the leg, so... i still hope you fall down some stairs, bye you snake (i really, REALLY hate characters who stand for nothing))
i was in the middle of saying to my brother "it's very stupid to place these super soldiers on the raft with zemo who HATES... oh" and then they got blown up, lmao. honestly a very boring way to get rid of them by the show, they deserved better.
i do like this new lady, valentina. but also... is it just me or does it feel like disney-marvel are doing a "hmmm, how do we become more progressive??? right, make all the villains women" lmao
have you tried adding a single queer person instead you fools
bucky making amends!!! sebastian is truly giving EVERYTHING and this script is giving him... not enough... the same goes for anthony. they are killing it and giving this show and these characters a depth it would not have otherwise had. doing the real work.
HMMMMMMM, not into this isaiah bradley wrap-up they're doing. the museum exhibit is not a bad thing in itself, but like, man, sam, you should've maybe asked first. "just let me live in peace" he says and you go and do THIS. and isaiah is happy, because the script tells him to be, but i'm not totally buying it. because it's not ENOUGH. it's not nothing, but it doesn't make up for what was done to him! it holds no one accountable! and if this franchise uses this as a "oh, now we don't have to speak of it again, it's solved" i'm gonna be so pissed (it's exactly what they'll do, i hate everything)
LET THERE BE CONSEQUENCES, real fucking consequences, but it's disney-marvel so lmao, it will never happen. can't get too political! we have to keep it vague and palatable! we're beyond that, come on, you need to do better
this FINAL SCENE. sam and sarah being happy ❤️ bucky playing with the kids! in his sunglasses with his silly cake!!! bucky being part of the family! AND THEN THEY FUCKING LOOK AT THE SUNSET AND WALK OFF TOGETHER???
SAM'S HAND LINGERING ON BUCKY'S SHOULDER??? THE FINGER ON THE NAPE OF HIS NECK????
they're in love and that's that, goodbye
