God I love my gay coworker but sometimes it really hits me that he is ever so slightly more privileged than me or others in both general home life and also sexuality
Sexuality came up because he doesn’t understand why anyone would need pride flags to establish their identity and while I can agree that it’d be fucking nice if we could all just exist without having to fight for our right to live against homophobic shitheads-that isn’t the case It’s good for him if he doesn’t need something to show his identity and that he is valid etc but like As someone who is aroace, without flags etc making me aware that hey-these identities exist and are an established things for many I wouldn’t have a word to put on my sexuality other than “Ha! I am the chosen one, the special singular human who ISN’T into sex like the rest of the world tries to assure me I have to be-get fucked losers for I am free of your vices!”
+yadda yadda going back to the past (and even the present still) of fighting for basic human rights and uniting together to achieve that and such
idk it’s nothing big really but just coming from a lesser known umbrella term+immediately thinking back to old times or places nowadays which will still kill you if you so much look at someone ~gayly...just nah

what are all the non taylor related relationships between the undersiders that we dont get to see much of like in your mind palace (eg brian and lisa, rachel and alec)
see this is a complicated quastion that the answer to depends on what point in worm we're talking about but for the point i'm currently at/around in worm reread it's Agonizing to witness how brian is genuinely the team's leader, lisa literally imagines him telling her 2 Focus On The Important Parts in her head during the leviathan fight to steady herself--but also she has a gun to her head, and she can't tell any of them about it, and she is constantly having to manipulate brian into making certain decisions (lest all of them but especially her be fucked) while appearing like she's Not doing that. little details like her asking brian what they should do next, brian going "uhh idk," and then lisa Immediately going "ok well i think we should take taylor back to the loft :)" (<- thing she clearly already had in mind but didn't suggest without cursorily asking brian first) are soo. augh. her automatically smiling (<- girl who is sof ucked reflex) when brian starts listing really rational reasons not to go to the bank robbery that she Has to convince them to go along w/ 2 keep coil happy. etc. and he Doesn't Know....he Doesn't Know that she is a girl who is so fucked. coworkers/work friends wherein the dynamic of "uugh and some people (lisa) think they know everything" "i Do know everything :^)" are Agonizing (good) to witness. as for rachel and alec i think they have a nice arrangement going where he doesnt fuck with her and she doesnt rip his spleen out and use it to play fetch with her dogs 👍he understands that she is also a reject and this is why he includes her alongside him + aisha on his list of ppl who should turn traitor and form the othersiders when he's making that joke, but he also understands that they are different types of rejects and would not get along so hot as friends. and then she ends up becoming close to taylor and leaving the reject club a party of two (him + aishie)
also my favorite little rare undersider dynamic is lisa/aisha where lisa is so so good and regular at literally just. identifying the simple things she wants and pointing her towards them (e.g. when shes bored during arc 10 instead of trying to control/scold her like brian does lisa just points her to an Activity and then shes chill). whereas brian is control freaking it up and possibly in his head grumbling about lisa having an easier time of managing aisha than he does

HAJSKF I WARNED YOU ID BE BACK WITH THE GODSEND VS MIRACLE WORKER PARALLEL
Okay so like a godsend is like sent from god right? so like holy, righteous, unexpected, etc so it’s kinda like a blessing
But a miracle worker is someone who actually performs the miracle or like divine act
How am I gonna tie this all up in a nice little bow for my English gay ass? Glad you (probably didn’t) ask
So we have all agreed Eddie is like textbook catholic guilt and his relationship with Ana was like the what was expected of him type deal? So the wording godsend carries more weight when you add the catholic guilt element cos it kinda ties in to him being tempted to stay with her regardless of his feelings because she’s the right or “holy” choice
Meanwhile buck being described as a miracle worker kinda places him higher than Ana in the catholic wording sense but it also kinda goes against the whole dont idolise anyone other than god ( Alexa play false god by Taylor swift or even better take me to church by hozier) and blah blah blah basically buck = unholy but desired by Eddie
BUT buck immediately says “no just an excellent negotiator” so it strips that religious context away and it shows the domestic mundane reality and kinda contrasts the differences between Ana and buck in relation to how Eddie’s little catholic guilt views them
Idk if this makes sense but in my head it makes sense so you guys get a peek at what goes on in my head- did I go too deep into the most random words? Yes do I love to do it and annoy ppl with insane over analysis? also yes - you think this is bad try being any of the poor ppl I’ve dated

In general i really love your art style, it looks so round and dynamic. Absolutely floored by how you can make shapes pop with minimal amount of lines............ Learning each day how to draw from the masters. Thank you for posting such hardcore posts they replenish my stamina in these trying times.

hellooo baah :))) ive yet again come here to ask your opinion on smthn vs(cest) related bc i love your takes :]. so, how d'you feel about the vs sibs having a system (and kinda a kink ig? idk them and their possessive asses prolly find it hot lmao) where whenever a person one of them likes wears their color, that means that person has been 'claimed' by whomever's color they decided to wear?
^ that was a shitty ass explanation so let me give you a somewhat less shitty example: reiju wants to hit up some hot maid girl in the castle and said hot maid girl in the castle realizes this and chooses to wear pink accents in her outfit the next day. this means she 'belongs' to reiju bc shes sporting her color. ya feel me?
now, does this *stop* the other siblings from hitting on a claimed person? oh no not at all lmao- not if the sibling finds the person attractive and wants to fuck them. the color system's basically just a warning to the others that if you hit on the claimed person and the sibling who 'owns' them isn't comfortable with sharing they get a free pass to rag on your ass lmao
BUT. thats just the system for ppl who the sibs wanna fuck. but when the sibs wanna fuck *EACH OTHER…*
imagine ichiji sitting at the breakfast table one morning with subtle green accents to his outfit- a detail everyone but his siblings (and maybe ceaser bc the vs sibs sex life is his favorite soap opera lmao) would miss, signifying that he wants to be dicked down by yonji sometime during the day. or reiju coming last to train because her nails are now a nice shade of blue as she looks at niji with a subtle flirtatious smile (hes getting pegged later :]). or sanji picking up on the system during wci and choosing to wear just *slightly* visible red lingerie under his dress shirt to signifying to ichiji that he needs to be the one ripping it off later
okok do you SEE my vision? yes? no? maybe? well either way my whole ass reason for writing this was:
just. thinking about niji abusing the fuck out of this system and becoming the whore he's always deserved to be. like he'd choose a different color every day- his normal fit being subtly paired with something else. maybe its red cufflinks, pink-accented headphones, combat boots that shine green in the sun, midnight black goggles (dont ask how sanji would be around to pick up on this after wci its a smut ask it doesnt need to make sense igsiagigwigw), or even a mix. whoevers attention he was wanting that day, he'd subtly send them a message, and make sure they see it.
this all climaxing when all of 0134 are done with his "disloyal" (they drc they just wanna excuse to fuck that twink) ass and decide to momentarily team up, ignoring him for an entire day but making sure he sees the way they're all hitting on *each other", leaving niji horny, pissed and alone and struggling to go to bed...
..until 0134 all bust down nijis door at like midnight and fuck him to tears. yonji fucking him until his thighs and legs are numb, ichiji making him practically choke to death on his cock, sanji riding his dick till hes screaming n crying, and reiju sitting on/riding his face so hard he cant breathe. theyre all saying shit like "if youre really *that* desperate for all of our attention then just say it, whore" and nijis trying to be snarky and talk back but hes too busy drooling and begging for more to even formulate a sentence
this ends with one of them (coughichijicough) saying something like "if you don't want this embarrassment to happen to you again then pick a damn color, you slut." before they all leave him sweaty and reeking of sex..
he wears the most abhorntly mismatched outfit ever of red, green, pink, and black the next day btw :3cc
AND SCENE LMAO. sending my weekly ask and making it niji related bc i dont write abt him enough <3<3
You say you like my takes but I feel like yours are always so much better and so muchore thought out 🫣💜
Like, when you mentioned the color system my mind immediately went to niji practically wearing a rainbow outfit
At first he just wanted to mess with everyone, get them all on edge and feel like he has some control over them, like he's interested in all of them, but who does he want first? He's not gonna tell 🤭 they need to find out and fight for his time and attention 🤭
He didn't count on them not getting caught in his little trap tho and the result was exactly as you said
He learned his lesson and from then onwards decided to keep wearing his ridiculous rainbow outfits, a slut like him needs to be constantly put in his place and he'll make sure his siblings are doing their job on that 😌
(ok but I just have to say that the dynamics you wrote between niji and the four are everything I could've asked for?? Like, are you reading my mind bc from him choking on ichiji's dick to reiju riding his face and sanji riding him and yonji fucking him to next week??? I'm??? Perfectly curated to my very specific tastes, it felt like a five course meal 😋)

No but tee ur so right about the struggle to move on from sumeru. Like I’ve already played the whole archon quest to avoid getting spoiled and it’s been pretty good so far. But everything about sumeru and its story/character building was just so top-notch that Fontaine falls a little flat in comparison. *Mild spoilers warning* like the traveler meets focalors and I was just immediately hit with this immense longing to see nahida again. Like no archon will ever be nahida!!! She’s truly the peoples archon!!!!
And they’re definitely trying to set up a big mystery in the plot but for whatever reason even though the stakes seem like they’re supposed to be higher it just doesn’t hit with the same intensity as all of the absolutely insane shit the akademiya had going on. *Mild spoilers again* It probably has to do with the fact that it’s in relation to the people of Fontaine specifically and the traveler cannot be affected. Like it just doesn’t feel as personal. And given that it doesn’t feel as personal, there’s also not as much room for close character bonds to develop over a shared sense of urgency.
Sorry tee this ended up being a really long ramble but yeah ur so right ur feelings are so valid Fontaine just isn’t the same (at least rn) and I miss sumeru sm too
i think out of all the nations sumeru was my fav (altho the cultural representation aspects made me a bit upset) bc the story objectively was the most intriguing in this one but ALSO !! just the way the characters relationships were all built and connected was just rly nice and special to me. like even tho u hardly see much of candace she means the world to dehya and dehya means a good deal to everyone in sumeru city so like when candace comes to visit she’s still not rly out of place !! and it’s like 🥹 everyone is just connected to everyone and it’s a big family 🥹 and nahidas the mostttt endearing archon i think her story was my favorite but also her relationship with lumine was just more special than the other archons. i think the only other nation where everyone is close to being family like this is mondstadt with like kaeya and amber and eula and jean and klee—they’ve all had history in the knights and as kids so they’re all endearing too and that’s also !! why leaving mondstadt made me so upset !! and why i revisit so frequently just for the heck of it :,) and i think venti also has a slightly cuter relationship w lumine but idk like zhongli and raiden are lovely i liked them but they didn’t have that. idk. ig friendship that nahida had with traveler AND ALSO nahida tries so hard to rly connect w the ppl in sumeru she’s just the best archon i love love love her.
but i loved sumeru’s plot the most i think mondstadt was a bit boring until diluc showed up (lol) and liyue was fun but also a little less exciting and inazuma had so much potential but it was longgggg and tedious and also the miko training thing TOOK ME OUT. but sumeru was so fun and i enjoyed it thoroughly AND IDK IF ANYTHING WILL BEAT IT even the limited events in sumeru were so good sobs i AM RLY SAD WE ARE LEAVING. and also sumeru story quests are all my favs. dehyas was amazing and cynos was too and so was al haithams and i loved nahidas w the lore drops and even tighnaris had me emotional
i think i just have a bias LOL
but anyway I WILL FINALLY PLAY THE NEW QUEST just because i don’t wanna be spoiled so i might as well get it out the way BUT i’m glad someone shares the sentiment with me 🥹 sumeru will always be the best nation to me :,)

*rotates this in my mind* yes!!! YESS!!!
This is like a lot of rambling but!
I love the almost poetic, weird and gruesome like situation they are both in where its like they are each others perfect fit.
Both of them have shitty temperament that would be just unbearable to someone who is more normal/human.
When combined they even each other out. They are like equally horrid and shitty, but are different in like things that make it more entertaining for both of them, but maybe not the people they are about to slaughter or whatever.
From Daoist perspective the matchup is nice since there is an interesting balance of excess and deficiency that evens out when they work together. (idk i am not super deep into that, but i just think its neat) all the akatsuki pairs have that, seeming opposite philosophies that upon closer look is like “dam you guys are kinda the same”.
I talked about it on twi, but they both have a theme of “consuming” (i mean it like as a metaphor) those they are close with. So like Kakuzu killing his partners and taking their hearts for himself. Hidan being unable to form lasting social bonds with people because he must follow the Jashinist dogmas of “Kill thy neighbour” (interpretation is iffy but to Hidan it seems to be “i kill my friends”)
So in a sense to have someone who’s “nothing alike” themselves is beneficial. Kakuzu has no need to take Hidan’s anatomical heart (get it), it is useless to him (Hidan is heavily hinted to have weaker chakra, but his physical durability is an asset for Kakuzu’s fighting style). And then Hidan doesn’t want to kill Kakuzu because Kakuzu is a solution to his loneliness problem, if he’s immortal and can’t be killed, then surely he can be the one person he can rely on without breaking the rules of his religion. Also like the fact that Kakuzu has like a way of literally putting Hidan together by stitching him up is also a benefit for Hidan as well. I am sure deep down he appreciates it more than doing it himself, plus without Kakuzu Hidan would have been sealed away like looong ago.
And I think that like it relates to handholding and like more emotional intimacy over just sex, too. It’s why I like seeing and drawing “sweet” moments from time to time (i like fluff but i also want variety that these two have, im sure many ppl agree!) because im like “awww you guys can be vulnerable with each other🥺” since idk emotional vulnerability is like such a huge issue for both of them and lets be honest just people in general.
Kakuzu kind of gave up on being a human and sees himself as a monster, and Hidan uses his religion and all that comes with it to shield himself from emotions (referencing the panel where Hidan shows human emotion when Kakuzu’s mask “dies” catches himself and immediately says something shitty) idk i think u can kind of make a connection between emotional and physical pain and how it relates to masochism.
But yeah no it makes moments like this special bc it kinda lets u imagine a scenario where they both or just one of them either reached a point of growth or like their true feelings had a slip up happen during the heat of the moment and they acted out on impulse i think its cute!!
In my hc i think Kakuzu is pretty old-fashioned and more well-read and has like very COMPLEX feelings of weird fondess for Hidan…so i like drawing him getting all like bashful when Hidan is very direct and in his face and just Hidan makes Kakuzu do and say mushy shit too hehe.

hiiii i just thought id send a lil ask because i thought you might not be feeling the best,,,,, so heres some questions 4 you 2 answer in case it might keep you busy,,,,,
whats your favorite animal and why?
whats the color that you think fits you the most,,?
whats something that you really want 2 get into, but havent yet??
aaaaand finally last question,,,,,,,, whats your view on dreams??
btw if you are not feeling like answering these questions,,, feel free 2 ignore this ask!!! or if you only what 2 answer one or a few thats okay too!! just thought id try 2 lend out a helping hand :)
aw this is so nice I love this ur have such good questions ur good at this !!! <3
fav animal is cats because I have a weird connection to cats I used to dream about them almost nightly for literal years in various degrees of psychic and metaphorical and straight-up-messages-from-Akashic-record weirdness; also someone did reiki on me once and said they went into my heart cave whatever that means and there was a cat in there that wanted her to follow it and she said usually that means the creature is an important guide (what happened after is only smth that would make sense to me) but yeah also, cats fucking love me when I meet them like instantly. like they know im one of them or like idk. Even ones that normally hate ppl. I also know exactly how to treat them that immediately gains their trust bc i respect their boundaries and can read their body language super well because I relate to them a lot and understand them and their need for control/respect/permission/boundaries
ulmmm color that fits me…. I hate it but I think bright blue and to a lesser extent yellow
I really want to get way more into energy work it’s something I’ve always wanted to do and think I’d be really good at if I gave it a genuine shot but I just never have
I fucking love dreams I kept a dream journal religiously for like 6-8 years and dreams, for me, I consider them literal messages from the moon, and that’s been confirmed by mediums (at least for me specifically). when you can tap into them well enough (by dream journaling and having altars to the moon) they can become extremely powerful tools. Literally the moon sends dreams to people, definitely to me idk if all ppl but I think it’s highly likely, and some ppl are tapped into that connection more than others and the moon sends messages in dreams to those ppl.

icha!! it’s been a while since I’ve sent one of these in but! I finally started summer troupe act 2! so. here’s my commentary lol. only gotten thru the first 8 episodes but so far my feeling is this: 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
that’s it. has anyone ever made the su(m)meragi pun yet. (I chose the first m in summer bc it’s the red m on tenma’s jacket)
ok for real this time I’ll go in chronological order but. I am naturally predisposed to like kumon I think bc seeing his sprite I immediately went oh I ADORE you in my head. like I saw him and was like YOU! I love you and I would kill for you. is that normal idc. also I had his bday card when I played a3 so special affection as he was the only rookie ssr I had. but it’s just! he’s just like :D how could I ever reject him?? he’s got such a lovely smile!!
these were the thoughts I had starting up and then. well and then I immediately bust out laughing bc.
me: nice to meet you kumon, my dearest, sweet summer child—
kumon, about natsugumi: “they only do comedy, right? no offense, but doing plays with nothing but stupid, empty gags sounds pretty lame to me.”
me: …ah. so you’ve chosen death, then.
just kidding I LOVE when characters r assholes. this doesn’t even make my initial impression wrong bc kumon is still such an absolute sweetheart but I think it’s so funny. immediately I was like. oh I cannot wait to throw tenma at him it would be hilarious. he’d take it as a personal challenge. and like he absolutely did so I was right lmao. juza chiding him immediately is very good. I do love how kumon is like banri hater #1 but speedruns his disinterest in like. 3 days it’s great. I just feel like even tho they’re very different ppl they actually would have things in common and hate to admit it. and kumon is like u have pretty hair! when he means to insult him lol. anyways the reactions to that comment r so good. yuki going “he sounds like a certain hack when he first joined” and then misumi doing an impression of tenma saying “im not a comedy guy” was sooo good, I definitely felt the voice was recognizably tenma even as I didn’t remember the line misumi was quoting so. that’s how u know it’s good.
I am sooo deeply interested in juza’s reluctance regarding kumon acting as well as how kumon brushes off his whole baseball team situation. like clearly it was more complex than him quitting. this is smthing I do have to say which is that I unfortunately got a little spoiled and so I know kumon has some kind of health issues, which I assume is the reason he quit. didn’t muku quit track and field due to a sports injury, too…? wild. but anyways the way kumon talks abt the baseball team and having that… settled is so. awkward and unsure and uncomfortable tho. made me remember like. ah. there’s a bunch of times I’ve not wanted to elaborate about suddenly fucking up something really badly, too…
idk. it’s very interesting bc juza clearly knows what’s up with kumon but seeing how he reacts to the baseball stuff I’m not sure if he knows… Everything? it makes me want to dig into their sibling dynamic a bit more
but then tenma steps in and invites kumon to the road show!! i clutched my heart I was like oh he’s come so far as a leader… sigh, even though summer troupe rightfully teases him, he’s quite reliable, isn’t he? im so going to extrapolate all of this into the tenma juza dynamic thoughts later ofc. but the way yuki and sakyo r both like “free labor” in response to tenma’s suggestion… adds one more point to my feeling that yuki probably has the like most financial knowledge regarding the troupe next to sakyo.
also ace pitcher for the baseball team!! that is really not something u just… quit. I am excited to see the full story there. it seems like kumon gets a lot of anxiety? which. extremely relatable i not only panic often but I can panic pretty hard. but tenma was so nice, being so oblivious like ah I bet u can’t sleep the night before a big trip! pfft. love that yuki knew he was looking up tourist info bc he could hear him muttering, but clearly since tenma didn’t know that he knew, it meant that yuki heard him and just. didn’t tell him to shut up. is he just used to ignoring tenma’s voice so he slept easily. idk.
like I said kumon and banri kinda feel similar in some ways to me. I rly love how they squabble. and that juza is like doing his own thing and they r like mutually fighting so jimins defense of his brother is kind of ineffective lol
i cheered when tenma was like oh guess I’m sitting with u kumon. and then I realized. ah. it’s rookie and leader as the leads. idiot. ofc they’re gonna set up a dynamic. the story was not responding to u wanting to throw tenma at kumon. (also, the train background also rly looks like an airplane?) but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the a3 kids and stuff that whenever tenma shows up I wanna reach through the screen and hug him. i love them.
also it’s so cute that kumon calls juza niichan. I get why the translation just has it as juza but. I can hear. and! kumon like almost immediately being proven wrong and apologizing was so fun. its also rly interesting to see how he’s sorta cautious and hesitant around tenma abt stuff while tenma is like. immediately nice! the kumon sprite when he’s nervous genuinely tugs at my heart so easily. it’s just like the side eye the uncomfortable vibes. please be okay. but I love seeing tenma be nice. like, kumon gushing over how cool juza is as lansky and then tenma praising juza’s fight choreography as due to his experience! he’s so. man he’s rly so. like it’s such a natural follow up to how very clearly tenma noticed and adored the specific quirks of his summer troupe in act 1… ofc he notices these things abt the other actors! not to get all teary abt it but. tenma… it’s kinda nice like this, yknow? to have someone that might be just excited abt what he has to say. although I love it when summer troupe teases him haha. but the way kumon was like oh wow! what was ur second play like! and tenma was like. we… we can talk about that later… like lmao no one wants to discuss sardine search.
again wild how ready kumon is to just square up with banri. I’m glad it did not actually happen. I was confused at first as to why kumon was to totally blown away by water me, and then I checked and it seemed like juza just came alone to see muku’s performance? tho muku obviously admires juza im kind of interested in exactly how close he was with kumon, since it doesn’t seem like they know each other That Well.
love how when homare is like let’s go to paris! for a road show, hisoka’s response is that it’s too far which is a pain. im taking the fact that he didn’t say anything else that he’s fluent in french and would be fine, so it’s literally just distance.
when kumon’s like asking to be tested to get in, juza tells him ”you can’t give up and quit in the middle like you did with your baseball team” which. I do think juza feels a lot of responsibility for mankai so I assume that’s part of him being a little harsh but I really feel the baseball thing is a bit more complicated. but yuki saying that kumon is tenmas responsibility… nice! honestly I was so surprised he actually had to ask to join natsugumi after he passed his audition bc like. I just assumed they’d adopted him already lol. anyways KUMON LIKES THE TRIANGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they’re sharp and pointy like his brother! so sweet.
for the rehearsals kumons va was very good at showing how rough he is regarding acting! I feel like kumon in general has this like, overexcitement in his voice that rly bleeds thru like even when he’s improved a little? god I love the acting in this game. tenma coaching him was so good… the way like u could see kumon directly improve and then audibly smile when tenma complimented him… so sweet! tenmas gotten a lot nicer hasn’t he.
when igawa showed up I had a fear response just bc. I don’t like tenmas parents. I think tenma can deal with them fine but that doesn’t mean I like it for him. wish he wasn’t the lead. but an audition chance! very cool… the famed director that’s like known overseas is called shirasawa, and I have to wonder if that’s a reference to like. akira kurosawa films? like… kuro-sawa -> shiro-sawa -> shirasawa. just a thought lol bc he’s the only like. famous in the west japanese director i know, though the time period here is quite different. I made a lot of leaps. again kumon I feel is kinda hyper cautious? like he takes initiative to step back, worried he’s a burden, and then tenma is like. no. I’ll do everything I’m cool as hell. love him. also love chikage offering to set up covert bodyguards for him lol,, I rly feel like once he got over his this troupe is temporary I’m here to enact revenge! vibe he’s now like. ride or die for everyone lol. it is so funny to see yuki and tenma quietly talk to each other like. that’s… weird, right? subordinates? like it is so funny. outside of spring troupe how well does anyone sans hisoka know chikage.
I did like that when juza and muku were discussing kumons condition, juza being like. we’ll be there for him and let him make his own choices. development compared to when he was like muku stay away from me without even like. taking his feelings into consideration. the scene where kumon is like my brother has perfect abs and trying to. show them. he rly loves his brother lol. it rly got me tho when he was talking to muku and went “the closer I get to everyone and the more they help me out, the more I really want to become a part of this company” tho!! the translation didn’t specify but I definitely heard him say tenma-san and natsugumi so I checked yaycupcake and that’s who kumon specifies as “they”? which I thought was so sweet. I rly like their dynamic. my vision is kumon panics at some point, locks himself in the panic closet, tenma goes to find him, gets locked there too, and they don’t really even have a deep heart to heart but tenma falls asleep there and kumon is moved anyways bc he kind of understands how deeply he’s being cared for, to the point that even if he ducks up they still like him. tho I don’t know kumon’s exact issues.
was worried muku was gonna talk abt kumon’s condition to summer troupe secretly so I was very glad he just said he was pressured! which literally anyone could notice. and I thought it was cute how summer troupe cheered him on. the moment I read kazuko and I was like ah… they’re all cute girls! one more tick towards my “all female summer troupe play” vision. love sakyo being like he’s got a lot of drive unlike SOMEONE abt kumon. and banri is like yeah I wonder who…? it’s great.
and kumons audition!! he reminds izumi of sakuyas first moments!!!! thinking abt how tenma joined summer troupe due to a deep admiration of sakuya in the first place. thinking abt how he’s teaching kumon now. and tenma calling him “student of mine” love it.
juza: …
izumi: he looks happy that his brother passed the audition!
me: …I think you might need some expression practice, izumi
again it’s so funny that kumon has to ask to join natsugumi bc I had totally assumed he already pivoted there post-road show. still this is very cute. and it’s wild that tenma is like oh? like he’s surprised. like. it’s so obvious how much he likes u guys lol. once again tho kumon’s a bit hesitant abt it and tenma and natsugumi r all like hell yeah kumon welcome on board. paused here bc it seemed like a good place to take a break! I am… very excited for what comes next.
KIRIII HI!!!! it's been so long but it's always a pleasure <33 take your time always, but what a pleasure to see your takes again!!
AND HELP. Someone should definitely make that pun, it's right here. come on.
AND HELP. I'd say yes it's normal to love Kumon at first sight, he's just So Shapped. He has a lovely smile, he looks radiant like the sun, he's a ball of energy, he's just. Everything about him is SO endearing i adore him. I'm so glad you felt like that right away, he deserves all the love (and i'm so glad he kept you company in the a3 server when you were playing!)
DLKFJDLKFJDF WHAT A FIRST INTRODUCTION THEN LMAO.
But yeah Kumon really has a stellar introduction, he's sweet but the way he immediately dismises Summer is like. hold on. no wait you don't know them like we do hold on. and yeah i love how they point out right away that it's just like Tenma because, yeah! it's just like Tenma! and now everyone can clown on BOTH Tenma AND Kumon at once! congratulation everyone! But god yeah i love how Kumon immediately goes to Banri's throat and then mostly is chill around him. i love how he can't insult anything other than his hair and how Banri is genuinely more affected by Kumon's comments on his hair than if Kumon had thrown real insult. so funny.
aw waaa 🥺🥺 of course i won't say a thing about all that's going on with the Hyodo, i'll just confirm to you that yes, Muku did leave the track team because of an injury yes! But for the rest, there's still so much to discover. But also oof mood on the "not wanting to elaborate suddenly on something you fucked up" thing.
:3c looking forward your reactions to the whole Hyodo arc then.
BUT YES YES YES!! This chapter really shows Tenma's growth so well and the way he tries to work it out with Kumon (while at this point, while we know Kumon is the Summer rookies, no one knows it yet, so Tenma is just helping out just because!! Probably also seeing himself out of the whole anti comedy thing like "oh my sweet sweet summer child" (literally) it's so sweet).
and yeah so true i think Yuki is the one with the most knowledge on that front, aside from Sakyo of course.
eheheh :3c. AND HELPP YEAH!! Tenma is so sweet and i love again how his dynamic with Yuki shines through in that bit like. truly the roommates who know each other too well at this point. rip.
AND DLKFJDFKL. the Kumon&Banri&Juza dynamic really is hilarious.
but waaa so cute :sob: so true on the hugs though, they really seem so huggable, and Tenma especially is so good this chapter. Like yeah of course the leader/rookie dynamic is expected but it's so nice to see them go through it rather organically.
YEAAH i love how he calls Juza niichan too <333 the perks of being able to catch a few of the words in Japanese when spoken. AND YEAH… Kumon at least completely speedrun his "comedy is alright actually" bit that Tenma half denied most of his own arc god bless. and you're SO right about everything you say about Tenma. Like, it really showcase just how far he has come and how he came to really notice and appreciate the good quirks everyone can have and ahhhhh he's so good. and i love that he can be here for Kumon and while Kumon is uncomfortable for now (probably the mix superstar + "i kinda insulted his whole troupe's thing while now i see i was wrong" embarassment) it's really sweet to see how into it he gets when they talk about those things. and they should talk about the sardine search more. Dance kitty cat dance.
yeah Juza came alone to Water Me. Oh if ever you feel like it, there's Juza's New Year SSR ( " SSR - [Chilling Out at Home] - "New Year's with the Hyodo Family") in the Archive that is set before Kumon's arrival, which showcase a bit the Hyodo/Sakisaka relationship before Kumon joined Mankai. obviously won't say much more about Muku and Kumon.
DLKFJDFLKDF i love this. Everything is a good reason to read more into Hisoka's multilanguage attributes.
oh the whole Hyodo drama muah. I LOVE how the summer troupe immediately steps in for Kumon though :sob: they really did imprint him on him right away didn't they. AND YEAH ANOTHER TRIANGLE ENJOYER HELL YEAH.
YEAAH the voice acting in a3 is so good at conveying so much character in how good or bad the whole acting is, like, how much you can feel them, as actors, behind those lines. Kumon especially since he's the personification of the sun itself so he just spills out sunshine everywhere when he talks he's so cute. and i LOVe how good Tenma is with him, he improved so much and got so much nicer :sob:
mood for Tenma's parents. and! for the diretor, That's actually very likely, that'd make sense at least :o could be just a reference without it being supposed to be modern and all. god this arc is good. And YEAH FOR CHIKAGE. really went from "this whole company means nothing to me and i will burn it down" to "anyway what can i do for my precious company right now", best character development. AND HELPPP. Yeah, i assume outside of spring and winter people don't know Chikage much aside from "he bailed on us at some point and we all saw him date the director, what was up with that". Spring at least knew something was off with him and Winter knew something was off with Hisoka because of him. but for the rest?? Esp the kids??? god Chikage speedrunning from weirdo stranger to weird uncle is incredible.
Juza and Muku working together for Kumon's sake 🥺 it's really so cute and it does show how they evolved in term of problem solving with other people. Kumon is so cute. And yeah this is so sweet!!! Summer really is doing a number on him right away!! Like it's just really soft how, Kumon wanted to join the company for Juza, to be with Juza, and all of that and just… how quickly Summer grew on him that now he's kinda here for himself instead. and for those people who cheered for him then. It's so soft. I love your vision on how this arc would go aaa
Muku is handling the situation so well!! honestly he deals with Kumon's situation with so much care i almost forgot he was younger than him at a time, Muku really tries hard to take care of him as he can there as a senpai. AND HELL YEAH for the all female summer troupe play. They're all ready for this. dFLKJDFDF SAKYO. And Banri is that Garfield picture isn't it.
Tumblr media
AND YEEEE ON THE IMPRESSION IZUMI HAS OF KUMON. associating him with Sakuya's enthusiasm and everything and having Tenma mentoring him… it's all very sweet.
AND HELP. hey maybe Izumi is right, we don't know (yet) what's in Juza's head! who knows!
AND RIGHT… Natsugumi really just took care of Kumon just because as if it wouldn't cause him to Be Attached just as quickly for it. it's so sweet.
Thank you once again for your detailled thoughts, it's a blast to read through and it makes me relive those arcs which is always so good. I'm glad you're having fun and are totally getting into the stuff that are being set up!! it's going to be a trip!
Always looking forward more of your thoughts, and thank you again for sharing <3333 Take care!

Kyuu and why he’s in NRC
Tumblr media
some ramblings for kyuu and NRC, specifically on how NRC is a school for villains
this was honestly really fun to write and I wrote so much more than intended. I promise i’ll get around to writing more on kyuu and leona once i’ve splurged out all the lore i want for kyuu rn :D
Tumblr media
yk i havent said it here but like, NRC is a school full of villains essentially right, it’d be pretty weird to slap some wholesome and pure-hearted person into NRC- especially when RSA exists lmao
idk i was thinking abt it and yeah, yuusonas and just yuu characters in general are the expection to this cause theyre arent at NRC by choice or really fit in with the rest of the boys in “evilness”
oh also- kyuu here, while I list him as a sona for myself, isnt really the most accurate representation of myself, I put on a lot of negative aspects on him and we certainly wouldn’t act the same way. So maybe listing him as an oc/sona would be far more accurate. He’s based off of me, but I develop him as his on character- using myself for reference. (For when I talk about it: I do not condone bullying and it makes me really uncomfortable to even witness it, empathy ig? i dont really understand it myself, but yeah, that part specifically is purely made for Kyuu and why he’s an NRC boy)
so i present some of the stuff that makes Kyuu an NRC student :)
To him its kinda everyman for himself, he’ll help if its reachable and fairly easy for him, or that person has some great significance to him (aka emotionally important or like, powerful ppl he wants to be on the good side of). But otherwise, he’ll leave that person to just kinda suffer-he’ll offer condolences and be on his way. He’s tries to stay on good terms with Azul for that reason, it’s real easy to pull strings when you’re friends with someone like that, even just a name drop of the tweels or Azul might intimidate some people. He’s never signed a deal but he does work part-time at the Mostro Lounge. He’s incredibly self-sufficient to the point where he will allow himself to sink and refuse to make a peep to others. Professor Trein is basically the only exception- and that took a lot of pondering to take the chance. 
He’s cold, not just in appearance from his resting face, but if he doesn’t know you, theres a good chance he’ll never bother talking to you. Hell he doesn’t like getting involved in stuff like bullying, either being the bully or preventing it- to him it’s free entertainment, the only exception is underclassmen he particularly likes or if they’re in the Equestrian Club with him. Catching Floyd or Jade on a hunt for a student might just make it to his most memorable moment of the day, It’s a bore when all the kids are the same type of roughhousing and mean. His social bubble is small and restrictive- which is why getting such a severe crush on Leona was so significant. If he wanted any type of closure or chance it would force him to interact and actually try to be nice and active with people he doesn’t care about to make some connections. He met Ruggie that way, and while Ruggie saw through him immediately, it definitely worked on other Spelldrive Club members (ahem Epel). Though nowadays he’s far more involved with the first years, he actually tutors (attempts to) Deuce and Ace, and any of the other first years when they need help, so that relation with Epel became a lot more genuine than before. 
Getting into a relationship with Leona didn’t really change much for him, besides the whole independency thing. A brief side note-I find it really unbelievable that overblots don’t have some sort of intense recovery period, which for my purposes I say they do. Even after a week or two you still feel the effects of the blot, maybe even a physical manifestation of blot, throwing it up or choking on it at its worst. Kyuu and Leona got together a mere days after Leona overblotted, it was a moment of fear for Kyuu- Kyuu being amongst the crowd when it happened, and Leona being pretty emotionally vulnerable afterwards and was forced to admit and re-confront lifelong doubts and pains. Leona ended up needing to do check-ups in the infirmary, having to stay a night when the blot afterwards had surged back and Ruggie forced him to actually get help. Kyuu ended up visiting the infirmary at the time, and well, they confessed. (This is something I’ll probably write about later, especially how I think it would go from Leona’s side bc I think that’s interesting lmao.) This, quite frankly, is a pretty awkward way to start a relationship. It took a lot of time to truly get comfortable around each other and begin to open up emotionally. Bringing this back around to how it changed Kyuu’s whole sever emotional independence, they were close enough that it made Kyuu actually talk. Leona doesn’t pry or force more out of Kyuu than necesarry- and that helps so much in making him feel like he can drop it into conversations (where appropriate of course.) That pressure of making it feel like it’s a big deal is crippling to him.
Oh lord this turned into some intense brainrot- if you made it this for a smooch for you and im sorry for writing so much-

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
Honestly? Blackmadhi. They barely interact, it just feels like ppl trying to force a ship that's not there. I have. Other reasons for hating it too but at its base it just doesn't make much sense to me.
2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
I think the person I rbed the meme from said the same thing, but benbaro. And gumworth. Also idk if it counts but I see vanlock as strictly fwb. Some dynamics are better platonic I think. -Most predictable thing for an aromantic to say.
13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?
I think this question is supposed to come w a character on it but since aai2 is fresh on the brain I'm gonna say that Sebastian Debeste is a perfect precious darling boy and everyone better be nice to him immediately or I'm gonna start breaking things. Also idk how unpopular this is I just wanna say that I hc him changing his last name to Courtney post-canon. He deserves it.
14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
I am a wrightworth shipper, I am, you all know I am, but speaking also as an aro, y'all need to calm down so much. Miles is extremely aro-coded. Miles specifically also has a lot of trauma and trust issues baked into his character arc. Is there a lot of lines that can be read as romantic? Absolutely. Do I personally think they're in love? For sure. But I think y'all need to also consider/respect other readings. No, "unnecessary feelings" isn't ~exclusively~ romantic, like that's literally not the context of the line. Fandoms in general, especially ones with a major, near-universal ship like this, tend to flatten interesting dialogue and character arcs down to plain romance and I feel like it's a massive disservice to the story that the creators are trying to tell. Also it always turns into overzealous amatonormative fans accusing creators of queerbaiting because they do not know the meaning of that word. I'm a hypocrite tho, I also talk about how canonically married they are, but like. Idk I feel like that's just another huge dose of reading comprehension that all fandom people need in general.
17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…
Honestly nothing so concrete comes to mind but there are a few cases that I would have liked to rewrite. The very end of turnabout revolution, for example, or all of dual destinies, or maybe exploring some interesting avenues like what if Justine really was the culprit at the end of aai2 (tho I do adore who the culprit ends up being, I just want Shi-Long to be right for once), but while it's straying away from the original prompt a bit, I think the biggest thing I would change about aa is to give Klavier more depth of character, explore his feelings relating to his brother and how he handles the fallout, and for the love of god have him come back more. There is so much potential for tragedy in a character like him, but I feel like they rush any angst he may have and it's a major disappointment. I lie awake at night thinking about what he could have been.

Bringing the Passions into Consciousness
Now it is often said about the passions that the terms for them are not meant in the modern english sense, and often unconscious enough to seem counterintuitive to the uninitiated. I’ve been into this topic for years & looking to catch corresponding patterns in myself, but though I understood it abstractly & intellectually of course, I feel like it was only this december that I really „spotted“ it.
Perhaps the process can be hastened for others if ppl of different types relate their experience with this.
Though mostly I’ve seen some very concrete ‚its that specific feeling or sensation‘ type descriptions for some & not for others and I want to complete the set in my understanding.
I’ll go first aboard the humiliation train because it is only fair. I want your answers pretty bad.
It was really 2 separate events that led me to put together, with the first sort of cracking my illusions and the other shattering them.
Event 1:
I had hooked up with this dude. It was fun. I listened to his life story, gave some advice, (effectively diagnosing him with Nine), told him some funfacts about the nerve endings of the nether regions and then making a demonstration, it was all rather fun.
Eventually that was done & we sat there together.
He suggested we might go again. But idk how long it was gonna take till that was possible. I perceived that he probably wanted to talk with me some more, or that’s how it seemed. But I didn’t want to commit at this point to spending the whole evening with him.
So I steered the conversation towards a conclusion, thanked him for the experience and politely excused myself, saying that I’d prefer to go back to the bar for now.
So then I was sitting there, on my own, having walked back to the bar, sipping my drink.
And I think to myself:
„Ah, I feel so relaxed right now. Delighted, even. It had been a while since I’d gotten such thorough release.“
I remembered & pondered upon something from a book I’d been reading earlier about the role of sex in physiological self-regulation.
I thought that I’m really glad that this thing happened today.
„Why didn’t I stay longer, anyway?“ I wondeed. „It might have been nice. „
Perhaps the fact that I was thinking all this after leaving might be accounted as an example of a delayed reaction.
And that’s when it occurred to me to ask myself why the hell I was in such a hurry to leave then.
Like – why? Why had I done that? I didn’t come here so I could sit on my own, but rather precisely because I’d felt like doing something else for once. Why didn’t I talk to him more? There was no clear reason not to. He wasn’t pushy; It wasn’t late yet. I got the sense that he liked me, so, why?
Why did I put my clothes on right away? I’d just… reacted, I suppose, to a perceived request.
Event 2:
I was visiting my relatives over the winter break.
I’d set up my laptop in what was normally my mom’s study to have somewhere to dissapear to if needed. So that one evening, I was typing away at something or another, some fanfiction or some internet discussion, and once in a while I’d come out to go to the bathroom, get snacks, drink some water, stretch my legs a bit etc.
It just so happened that the youngest of my sisters (one more victim of the very strong night owl genes in our family) happened to be chilling in the living room. She was presumably a bit bored, so, when she spotted me, she’d come and talk to me, and invariably, my reply would be something like this:
„That’s really great, but now I’d like to get my water.“
„Eh, maybe not now, I’m thinking.“
„This sounds interesting but maybe we could do this some other time?“
I realized that I was just, immediately resisting being talked to, or trying at once to limit the time frame like „ok ill ask one more follow up question to show interest but then i go back“...why?
I could sit at my laptop at home to my heart’s content, after all. I had sat through an annoying, uncomfortable 6 hour train ride across the republic explicitly to spend time with my family – particularly the youngest sister whom I didn’t get that much time with since I moved out when she was pretty young. I had come here explicitly to spend time with her, so why wasn’t I doing it?
It’d be one thing if I’s been super busy or really tired, but I wasn’t doing anything that important and generally feeling alright. There was just no real reason why I couldn’t spare the 20 minutes that it would have taken to sit down and have a proper chat with her.
This event, I think, proved crucial because it was so obvious, so ridiculous – there was no rationalizing it away. There was no logical justification, no reason at all other than – well.
There it was. That ‚eugh, go away!‘ kind of feeling. That kneejerk urge to say no or do some bare minimum and then shut down the situation.
The Avarice(TM).
It must have been there all along of course. I can’t expect that no one ever noticed just cause I lowkey like to pretend I’m not actually in the room.
I recalled this anecdote where this guy on youtube related how his type 5 father would just conort his face like he’s being tortured if the grandkids overstayed his patience.
No wonder my ex reported feeling „unwelcome“ when he came to talk to me at my desk.
At least he didn’t know how often I was tempted to yell into a pillow when he phoned unexpectedly.
And then I’d put that away into a box, opened up another one, and picked up like „Hi babe!~ Nice to hear from you <3“
Neither Cordon nor Palmer were exaggerating that much with these descriptions contrary to what I’d first thought.
"God, that’s so fucked up!" I thought. "I’m terrible! I’m revolting." What a sad, absurd, hapless creature*.*
That’s so terrible I can almost only laugh about it. Who wants a shitty selfish sister who never plays with you? Who wants some creepy girlfriend who is always at her laptop and seems to resent your very presence? I’m all talk. I have no capacity to lift a finger for anyone. I should just do everybody a favor and crawl away into some cave and never come back out...
That’s when the voice of reason kicked in: ‚oh look, an association spiral. How very w4. Is that helpful right now? Save it for the poems.‘
I’ve never believed in sins, deadly or otherwise. It’s pointless to assign overmuch meaning, value judgement or secret intent to an automatic kneejerk reaction.
What I have to do is be mindful of going on autopilot. Make a habit of checking if I really want to say no – same way some 9 would have to ask themselves ‚do I really want to say yes?‘
Maybe I do want to talk to that person. Maybe I do want to stay a while.
Pushing past resistance to do tasks is much harder, there’s no guarantee that I can really do it.
I’ve tried to sense it, locate it, physically, like they say in the books – that took several months more.
There’s a tense feeling in my stomach. A flinch of apprehension or resistance, when I want to start on a task – that’s the hardest to push against, where it starts concerning sp stuff. I know very much that for all that I may be overestimating them, my limits are not wholly imaginary.
I actually am sensitive, though I may be reflexively overcompensating for it.
I have at times backed half a step away if suddenly spoken to in the street.
Even when I’m writing some posts on here & thinking ‚Hm, is that still relevant to the topic? Does that not expose me to reactions‘ - „the words catch in the wiremesh of my heart“ (which is perhaps a more natural way for me to express/ say it than anything physical based.)
Well. I must not let it stop me or overmaster me.
(though, lest you worry, I did end up having some quality conversations with my sister eventually during that winter break & she really liked my gift, so there sort of was a happy ending.)

Lol my black history month’s going great 👌🏿😁
I just remembered some weird convo I had at work with a client. He goes “I’m so sorry if this is a stupid question—” pause, because I already know once you say that, it’s going to be stupid.
“—but, why are your knuckles so much darker than your hands?” 🤦🏿‍♀️ he REALLY got me there. If the emoji didn’t give it away, well by now I should let you know I’m a dark-skinned black girl.
So imagine my immediate embarrassment, discomfort and overall awkward reaction to this indeed stupid question. I actually looked down at my hand to see what he was talking about.
I promise you I stared at my hand for 10 seconds before collecting my answer because I didn’t even notice until he said that. I go, “you know what, I don’t know…” bc HOW THE HECK DO YOU ASK THAT?
I didn’t create myself sir?!! How am I supposed to conclude how my knuckles are darker than my hands. Then I wondered… isn’t everybody’s’? I continue with “I didn’t notice until you said that.”
Lol I was so shook that he had the audacity to ask that bc he wasn’t even a little bit worried that he could somewhat offend me, get called out, cancelled, looked at funny… nothing.
He had all the support he needed to ask that peacefully without getting hate bc everyone around him… looks like him. Not me. There’s only one other POC where I work, and he’s not black.
It was definitely a new low from the all sorts of questions I’ve been asked so far. As for black history month, the other POC and I haven’t had any mention of it at all this month.
I hardly think they care to consider any acknowledgement of the month at all. I wouldn’t be surprised. Perhaps I’ll hear a mention of it later in the month. However, it’s already halfway over.
I guess I’ll also point out that technically, more like literally, the other POC is African. His nationality is Moroccan. But I still think he’s considered Arab since that’s North Africa.
Tbh idk enough about him to know how he identifies. Plus he looks entirely Arabic to me, so I wouldn’t put it past him. Nonetheless, I sometimes feel like ppl test my patience too often.
It’s sometimes isolating having no confidant who gets what I experience or I can look to or talk with at times so they can understand my feelings. I don’t relate to a lot of the ppl I work with.
And that’s okay. For many reasons, I never would anyways. A lot of them are in different life stages than I am, or speak multiple languages, or own very nice things and have a family etc.
Do different things outside of work, believe different religions, drink, smoke weed, etc. so it’s hard to find a common ground with anyone, except for really simple things like food/clothes.
It pains me sometimes to be on such surface level convos when I’ve been here long enough to be past those things. It just feels like I’ll never get to a point where I’m comfortable with the full group.
And I have my days where it’s better, but I just hate being in the moment when i feel like I’m on the outside looking in. I’m not included and they don’t even try to relate to me or make convo.
You know when they walk past you just to start a convo with someone to the left or right of me. Or they speak in their language and forget i can’t comprehend or contribute.
Or when they always seem to not mention if they make outside plans with each other but leave me out bc we don’t have rapport like that. I tell myself I’m fine with it since I’m introverted anyways.
In a lot of ways, I genuinely don’t mind not being invited out because at least I don’t have to decline with a lame excuse and can remain in the comfort of my own home with my own company.
I can catch up on sleep, or shows, cook, or do laundry, or eat in silence. Do whatever I want. And not have to feel like I’m wasting my time by forcing myself to go somewhere “to socialize.”
I don’t have to be uncomfortable trying to fit in or act engaged in the conversation, or pretend like I can relate to anything they just said or even understand when they switch languages.
I can be myself and not have to mask like I do at work when I fake laugh at a really unfunny joke, or act super extroverted and social just to not seem like a party pooper or Debby downer.
Or force my smile in front of clients and coworkers so they don’t realize I’m having a really off day. I can wear my relaxing clothes, eat as many snacks as I want, sing as loud as I feel.
And sleep as late as I want. Or as early. But there’s always that feeling like I’m missing out on so much. The fomo. Just wanting to be invited. Included. Thought about. Considered. Something.
It’s so unfulfilling working at a place where you get little to no joy out of it bc not even the ppl can give you some peace of mind that at least if the job sucks, you have someone.
Tumblr media
FYI. I don’t smoke.

silly school stories bc theyre off topic and i want to share them but i dont have an excuse to
in 4th grade i became friends with this one kid who seemed nice, until recess time when i was playing on the swings and she was talking to me, some of my other friends came up and asked if i wanted to play with them, she immediately yelled at them and started saying things like shes my only friend and i cant have any other friends, i tried stopping her but they kept cutting me off until the next day whe i confronted her abt it, she called me an "ugly idiot", so i told the teacher and she didnt get her 4 skittles of the day lmao
one time we were watching a movie with all the 3rd grade classes, and this one boy asked if i could be his friend, i ignored him until i got annoyed and said yes just to shut him up, then a couple seconds later the teacher pauses the movie, and calls out the boy next to me, his friend was next to him and called him out by saying that he was trying to touch my butt?? he got moved so he wouldnt be a distraction then after class the teacher picked us up and said "[my name] i heard you were a hot tamale" and i stayed quiet for the rest of the school day
in 3rd grade i had a boy confess to me on the playground, on those monkey bars whatever you call them idk, what did i do? i ran around the playground, told my friends, told his friends, one of his friends told the TEACHER, so now the whole GRADE knows, then, i used his crush on me to manipulate him into doing stuff for me, like telling me his secrets and making fun of him for his crush
this is related to the last story just a year later, a year later, in 4th grade, we got put in separate classes, but, who did i get in a class with? his best friend, and i wish i was making this up but his best friend kept getting closer and closer to me as the year went on, whenever we got to choose our partners, we were together, whenever we got to choose our seats, we were together, and honestly he was a good friend
these are just little things i wanna tell others but it also never comes up but its not a story:
i stole a dinosaur toy in kindergarten
my kindergarten class had a fight over "the" and "the"
when i was in kindergarten i scolded a boy for liking my pink shoes bc they were only for girls apparently, I WAS RAISED UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT BOYS LIKED BLUE AND GIRLS LIKED PINK IM NOT SEXIST I SWEAR
uhh TW for puke/vomit/whatever tf its called
my sister puked in my hair when i was a kid, i had to take a 2 hour shower just to get it out, ofc with my dads help since i was 4-6 and my mom was helping my sister
idk how to use tw but puke/vomit/whatever tf its called can apparently trigger ppl and idk if it applies to text but im doing it just in case, i dont want to harm anyone i swear

finished bg3 😭
messy and immediate thoughts on endings (mostly gale centric lmfao) ->
absolutely obsessed with the game but I'm really fanging for the definitive edition bc act 3 was a fucking doozy in some aspects lmfao. really think if they can restore the upper city content or at the very least get their epilogue going it'll make a huge improvement. Like ppl are not kidding when they say this game just ENDS.
I got laezel riding off on orpheus' dragon, astarion running off into the city bc of the sun, wyll and karlach smoking cigars in avernus and gale wanting to get the crown back for mystra. Everyone else tho?? Absolutely no mention of shadowheart???? Same for halsin, jaehira and I think minsc had a single quip (lmfao)
Laezels scene was nice, wyll and karlachs rocked altho clearly wyll was just a stand in for the pc with no lines of his own? gales....well... homeboy wants to get the crown back for mystra and you're telling me my only options while romancing him are 'omg yay you'll be her chosen again' or 2 variations of 'you should get your god on' like DOG????
Ik some ppl have had an option to just encourage him to leave it at the bottom of the river? Didn't proc for me though fml.
Was feeling burned until he proposed in the next scene which ok... it's so over to we're so fucking back.
I hope he has an ending where he can stick it to mystra without getting overwhelmed by his own hubris like idk if it's out there or what. I tried to get his alternate act 3 romance scene to proc but it seems to be bugged right now and I'm not sure if that wouldve changed things or not. (going to the tabernacle immediately before proccing the boat scene)
overall very happy with his romance, there's some kinks that could've been ironed out with how his regular unromanced dialogue relating to mystra seems to make a dissonance with some of his romance dialogue where he's solely devoted to tav (specifically tabernacle scene and dock scene). its not like he wants to go back to her in a relationship way but.. just some jarring lines lmfao.
Wish tav had more options to hug ppl. Wish we got a tavern scene (abysmal waste) Wish the textures on ps5 weren't bugging the fuck out in the entire last hour thank god gales beard rendered properly in the proposal scene. Wish astarion didn't get such a slapstick ending when you're not romancing him. Wish act 3 just had...idk like more companion interaction beyond their questlines. Beginning of the game it felt like they wouldn't shut up but in the city it was almost crickets.
Reckon a citadel style DLC (or any DLC) would do absolute numbers but I'm kinda not expecting them to do dlc beyond the definitive edition for some reason.
Withers sweep.

🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲 i want more <3
tod waggner & kinsey oliver: tod b like 🧍 prrrety grill. dating christa or not this man is still blushing and stuttering and fumbling over himself in front of pretty girls im sorry theres nothing that can be done to change him. idk truly theyre both survivors of a tragedy??? both were/are incredibly fucked up for a Long Time after said tragedy..... emotional support friends when tod is just like a golden retriever he can be ur esa dog kins.
kirby reed & kinsey oliver: i had this in the tags originally and then was like?? idiot what are u doing sO : kirby is in the fbi now....... and probably would have been (or would have been in training but we can fudge the details ok) just starting out when everything happens with kins and mal the second time,,,, so What If she were to have helped mike (and his team) find them???? i simply think that these girls as her first case is sexy and would be exactly what she needs to throw herself into her job to rly stop ppl like charlie<3 and the man that took kins and mal.
bethany bixler & kinsey oliver: ok so it was a no on the hell priest with a love for pain and pleasure but.... what about deadites. totally different from creatures from hell........... but also we can go Not That and beth could meet kins while shes on tour w a band or something like that. kins if ur nice to her for one (1) second beth can get u backstage to meet the band for free ok just one (1) kind gesture.
jules louden & kinsey oliver: mal is related to the loudens,,, there is not a doubt in my mind that they attended parties at mals house for holidays/special occasions and to think that kinsey would not also be there is absolute insanity. jules/mal/kins (and stef too if she would like to join ofc<3) were probably an unstoppable trio when they were rly young,,, just annoying the absolute hell out of their relatives and gossiping. complete menaces if u see them walking towards u RUN. u know those holidays at ur aunt n uncles where u beg ur parents to sleep over for the night.... yeah thats them. their campouts in mals treehouse<3 but immediate Not Sweet jules comin Back From The Dead.. the first holiday that she attends and maybe mal brings kins with her.... how different their interactions would be.. but also so the same bc they all went through this horrible trauma and still came out on the other sside blah blah u kno. i think they could be neat.
michael roth & kinsey oliver: YEAH BOI. theres so mcuh that we can do with that but what can i write here that we havent already talked about???? what i cAN do is tell u some of my favorite ideas ok. im a sucker for letter threads so ,,,, if kins wants to keep writin mike letters he will answer them. or like. The FIRST letter she sends to start it off. the mental debate he has ab answering. mike interviewing them at the hospital but lowkey having the Worst Time bc he looks at kins and sees hannah and wants to scream and cry but also hug her. IDK i can keep goin i just we need to write them ok. kins (and mal) visiting mike and the others at the station a few months after theyre found to say thanks or smth idkidk thats probably dumb and a bad thread idea. they just have so much potential and the fact that we havent written them yet is a crime @graecland.
