yk, its weird being Way Too Aware & In Control of yourself bc technically i believe im having a panic attack. but somehow i am Very Unbothered by this, bc i know whats happening and its illogical. my body's having an overreaction and i couldn't be fucked to join in
hear me out,, there’s only one bed trope with aki. with the whole group being trapped in that hotel because of the eternity devil. nothing to do but wait it out, every one else already called dibs on each of the remaining hotel rooms that weren’t completely trashed. leaving only one room left, but you and aki still remaining room-less. with the exhaustion kicking in, both of you just say “fuck it” and decide to share the room but lo and behold, it ends up being a one queen-sized bed suite. aki is internally panicking because he’s harbored a little crush on you ever since you first joined his division, and now he has no other option but to share a bed with you?! little does he know, you are internally panicking just as much as he is—. whew the only one bed trope rly has me in a chokehold, and so does aki scjnsbssj reader and aki deserve to share a bed and get handsy under the sheets! (and most definitely fuck)
ah..... only one bed with aki... I think it's such a good trope to pair with him because he's always so kind and respectful, if he had to share a bed with you, he'd feel so embarrassed...
he's swearing it's fine if he sleeps on the floor, but you're insisting that no, it's fine if he sleeps in the bed, which eventually progresses to him reluctantly caving and climbing to bed with you. he's clearly getting nervous, babbling as he undresses, "I'm gonna take my shoes off, should I take my jacket off too? I don't wanna take off too much, I mean it's like- I- I don't know, you're not uncomfortable, are you? you'd tell me if you were, right?"
the bed has plenty of room for the two of you, but somehow you end up getting closer and closer. aki tries his hardest to fall asleep with his back facing you, but it somehow evolves to his arms slung around you, your body pressed close to his. his heart is hammering in his chest, he's willing himself to just go to sleep already, but when your hands start wandering, when you're brushing your palms over his thighs and toying with his belt — your belt's still on? isn't that uncomfortable? here, let me help you with it — aki would know there's no sleep in sight, not for either of you
I just finished episode one and I have some tiny music thoughts I would like to share. I'll do a whole analysis at the end probably but I don't know how long that's going to take me. I've been fighting demons. Anyway brief thoughts:
His dad might be a world class musician but he's a piss poor teacher. If he needs to have the piece memorized (for why????) then the sheet music should not be in front of him. If he's been practicing it for as long as you claim he has been, it's likely he's just using the sheet music as a crutch and doesn't really need it.
Also if you're a world class musician, you should know better than to treat your music student that way. Look at him. You sucked all the passion out of him.
I liked the way we got two little short and distinct musical themes for those two side characters (I'm guessing they'll be our side couple maybe?) but I was not a fan of how it was done. It was too abrupt and out of nowhere and no other characters got the same treatment. After watching more, I might change my mind on this, but for now, I wish it was done differently.
I'm going to be honest and say I like the idea of jazz more than the actual genre and I've been horrendously spoiled because my older brother and his friends are all jazz musicians so I have heard some good live jazz (no you don't understand I mean good jazz). And I do believe jazz needs to be performed live. Recordings just don't do the genre justice. Live recordings maybe. But I'm going to be very interested to see how this show handles jazz as a main genre of the soundtrack.
That said, I love that Yoon Se Heon found and fell in love with jazz. It is the perfect musical genre for a musician that feels stifled by his environment. Most genres have set rules to follow. Jazz musicians are exceptionally impressive because they have to have such a strong understanding of music theory to be able to break those rules and do so with other musicians. They create a kind of musical chaos but they do not overshadow one another or overpower on another. The music still sounds good even though it's quite literally deviated from the norm. So Se Heon taking his upbringing and his lack of control and finding the one music genre that lets him lose all control but still utilize the skill he's built up is amazing. He gets to let loose but still play. He gets to learn to love the piano and love music the way his dad does but in a different way and different style than his dad. His father lives and breathes classical music and forcing his passion and love for it onto his children just drove Se Heon into the waiting arms of jazz.
not to point out things that have definitely been pointed out in the twenty year history of this game, but the way miles at first completely bulldozes over the fact he left the country and left ppl thinking he was dead and is like "you can't do this alone, but don't worry phoenix, im here and with teamwork we'll discover the truth" while wearing the smuggest little smile and then only dropping it and reverting to his angsty arm grab when phoenix (rightfully!!!) points out how shitty his behaviour was..... im gonna be sick
We are at the absolutely BRUTAL stage in the demon slayer season where the new episodes feel three seconds long and in that time nothing gets done and everyone gets soooo injured and killed 😭😭😭 sick and twisted reality of watching as its released…
I just have to say, my Gender Expression is unapologetically Sanji from One Piece and Momo Chiyoda from Demon Girl Next Door (ESPECIALLY season 2)
(I tried SO HARD but I couldn't find a good pick of Momo's cat shirt, just know those cats are YING YANG CATS! yes I have an embroidery pattern I painstakingly made, yes you can have it if you want just shoot me a message (。・ω・。)ノ♡)
They are just Butches your honor, but like my specific flavor of Butch and I love them and their fashion SO much
I deadass am teaching myself to sew partially cause I want better clothes w/o spending money AND cause I Need Embroidered Shit on my Hawaiian Shirts & They Don't Make Cat Graphic Tees Like Momo's But I Have A Needle And Hubris
Anyway, if you are looking for a sign to Steal His (your favorite character's look) this is it, don't let social rules stop you, you'll look hot as fuck
No art for awhile because my brain is being funny but I hope u all know that clump 2 were very very real people with entire lives before everything clump 3 arent. if that helps, maybe, perhaps.

IF THIS IS ABOUT TO KILL A KING!!!! I AM SORRY, I KNOW!!!! RIP
i am still developing the plot <3 -- which you can still totally ask abt, but unfortunately a lot of it might not be Permanent because my tsot style universe is still largely In The Works? i do, however, place very high value on all of ur opinions of my writing and my world building, so it would be very sick to get ur opinions on what i've got?
but again!!! trying not to crutch or base my self worth around what others think of me! teacher nina modelling self help and self love! xx
either way! you guys know how i am, so i'll probably just post random dialogue or excerpt snippets here or there/test guinea pig/or rather, ~test stripe~ things out on you guys thru my tumblr blog bc as of rn i'm a little scared of ao3 because of how stressed out it made me. :'(
its nice here tho!!! and You Guys are nice!!! so as a step towards being kind to Myself, i'm going to use this blog as a place for uplifiting and inspiration and share my deranged thots when i feel inclined to <3 and if they pop up, i hope they thrill you as much as you all thrill me :')
-uncle nina, trying to teach myself how to use hath, thy and prithee
My skepticism for The Scholomance adaptation is that, like, they bought the rights for this series before The Last Graduate was even released. I find it doubtful that anyone involved had a sincere belief this series would do well in screen. Much more likely, I bet, is that some Universal executive saw a popular-ish series getting called a “Dark Harry Potter” and immediately creamed his pants.
Because. Really. If you want to adapt Naomi Novik to screen? Spinning Silver is RIGHT THERE! Uprooted is RIGHT THERE! They would be so much easier to adapt; both have big action scenes, a much more straight-forward plot, and the exposition is largely done to the protagonists, as they learn new information, instead of info-dumped by the protagonist.
But of course they zeroed in on The Scholomance, because how are you gonna pass up a Harry Potter-esque trilogy in this year of the Lord 2020?.
