my poor cat Merlin has trauma around paper bags from when he was just a kitten and jumped into a paper bag and he didn’t know yet about things like momentum and inertia and the fact that a paper bag is a very light object.
he made a terrible miscalculation.
he flew right into the paper bag at top speed and the paper bag kept going at top speed, smack into a wall. because my boy has a charmed life, that’s One Of The Worst Things That Ever Happened To Him. now whenever he hears paper bags he gets scared, though.

For the next BAT audio drama I kinda hope they put Kuukou through the horrors, I love Kuukou and all but I want to know what the absolute fuck is his problem. I really hope we get to finally find out what happened to Mama Harai. What I think happened to Mama Harai is something involving the ocean, I always found it ironic that Kuukou dislikes the ocean considering where he lives so I thought maybe that has to do with Mama Harai not being around.
all i want is for kuukou to have fun and live life but yeah, we have reached the point where it’ll be straight bizarre if we don’t get his backstory lol. kuukou enjoying nature to the point he takes solace in it but dislikes the ocean is soooo telling
and so i hope it’s mama harai too lol!!!!! whether the drama is she gave kuukou a reason to hate the ocean, or is the reason he hates smoking and alcohol, or is the reason he naturally turns to self sacrifice, or all of the above!!!!! i would like to know lol!!!!!
#vee got an ask#i saw a post that mentioned hypmic likes to make their very obvious soulmates the same age#with rosasa and dohifu being quite literally in your face lol and you look at them with their similar goals and experiences#and turn to ichiro and kuukou who are also the same age and have been called soulmates in the stage and it makes you wonder lol#we just found out mama yamada is still alive and is likely going to be a source of conflict in some capacity for ichiro down the road#with rosasa dual dealing with rei shit and dohifu dual dealing with honobono#it makes me wonder if ichikuu will be dual dealing with mommy drama lol#idk whether to assume she’s alive and left kuukou or she’s dead#and that’s mostly bc nemu is also 19 and her mother died by su*cide after protecting her kids#which is something i’ve been wondering about kuukou’s self sacrifice as a skewed version of su*cide this is a whole thought process lmao#but ichiro being shaken by sacrifice likely bc of his mom and kuukou very willing to stake his life on the line may also stem from his mom#and that tells me she’s probably not alive#which would make sense since the most pivotal people in bat’s lives are also not alive lol 😭😭😭#like big fear for me is that she couldn’t stand temple life and drowned herself in the ocean#and kuukou with his uncanny ability to be in the right place watched it happen unable to save her and almost died himself trying#i have questions lol!!!!!! it’d be nice if i finally got SOME answers!!!!!!!!!!!

Valicer OT3 Week, Day Six: No One Wants To Leave The Cuddle Pile
The penultimate day of OT3 Week, courtesy of @ot3-week, and we have a fairly soft prompt to go with it -- "No one wants to leave the cuddle pile!" Because why would you? :p This one also said "Modern!AU" to me, so here we have Victor, Alice, and Smiler hanging out together at Victor's in a blanket nest. And while no one WANTS to leave the cuddle pile, a certain someone feels he HAS to... (Oh, and again, a warning for slight kinkiness at the end -- it's not even as explicit as the Day Four prompt, but the last line makes it clear where this is going. XD)
--
“I really should get up.”
“No, you really shouldn’t,” Smiler instantly retorted, snuggling their head more firmly into Victor’s chest as they continued playing phone Solitaire. In their peripheral vision, they spotted Alice put one of her legs over Victor’s, silently echoing the sentiment without looking up from her book.
“I should,” Victor insisted, though without much force behind it. “I promised my mother that I’d look at those photos she sent me of Duke Melbourne’s party, and I haven’t gotten to them yet.”
“Sod your mother,” Alice said, wriggling into Victor’s side. “I’m comfortable.”
“Same,” Smiler agreed, glancing up at Victor’s – well, mostly his chin from this angle. “We spent a half-hour getting this pillow nest together, and I’m not getting up until I’m good and ready.”
“I didn’t say either of you two had to get up,” Victor pointed out, poking Smiler’s nose. “I’m certainly not going to make you look at the probably twelve million pictures she’s sent me. But she’s expecting me to fake enthusiasm for her little trip in an e-mail before the day’s out, so...”
“It’s not that late,” Alice said, finally looking up. “At least, I don’t think so. Smiler?”
Smiler glanced at the top of their phone screen. “Only 5 PM,” they confirmed. “You’ve got plenty of time to pretend to be excited she got invited to a party you don’t care about.”
“I – I don’t know,” Victor muttered, unwrapping his arm from Alice’s shoulders to rub the back of his head – Alice pouted at the loss. “If I don’t respond to her in time, she’ll send me another e-mail about how electronic post isn’t supposed to get lost, and then it’ll become a whole thing, and – I should get it over with.”
“How about you stay here instead, and after supper, I’ll help you set up a form e-mail that’ll automatically mail itself to her a couple of hours after she sends you one of her ‘you won’t believe who I saw throwing up in a gold toilet’ photoshoots?” Smiler offered. “She’ll never notice you keep saying the exact same things for each party, right?”
“You really could – no,” Victor cut himself off, shaking his head. “I should at least make some effort. And I know neither of you think much of her attention span in regards to me–”
“Or her in general,” Alice added, recapturing his arm and wrapping it around herself.
“Of course – but she probably would at least eventually notice that it’s the same e-mail each time. And that would be...” He grimaced. “Bad.”
“You’re a grown man living on your own,” Alice pointed out. “She can’t do that much to you anymore.”
“Unless she comes barging over here to demand what I’m on about,” Victor muttered. “And if I think I’m funny and don’t I care about how our family is perceived and why am I always like this and...”
“Okay, yeah, let’s avoid her actually showing up in person,” Smiler agreed, grimacing. “But come on, the e-mail can wait until after supper. Just pretend you were giving all the pictures an extra-close look.”
“You can bullshit her anytime,” Alice agreed, still hanging onto his arm. “Stay?”
Victor pulled some faces, and for a moment Smiler was sure he was about to give in...and then what they’d privately dubbed the “familial bullshit” frown crossed his face, and he sighed. “I r-really should just do it now,” he mumbled, reluctantly pulling his arm free from Alice’s grip. “At least – pretend to be a good son.”
Smiler frowned, then looked over at Alice as Victor continued untangling himself from them. She met their eyes, then nodded once. Smiler nodded back and sat up, ending their Solitaire game and moving over to Photos. From there, it was just a matter of flicking through their collection of gifs until they found the right one –
And then, just as Victor made to stand up, grabbing Victor’s wrist and saying, gently but firmly, “Open your heart to joy, Victor.”
Victor jerked to a stop, eyes wide – and then the trigger actually hit him, and his gaze took on a familiar muzzy look. “Oh, that’s not fair,” he complained, voice already dulling.
“Wouldn’t work if you didn’t want it to,” Smiler sing-songed, tugging Victor backwards.
“Indeed,” Alice agreed, lightly pushing on Victor’s chest to help topple him over. “Now lie down on the pillows again, there’s a good boy...I think Smiler has something special for you to watch, don’t they?”
“Yup – your favorite,” Smiler confirmed, holding the looping gif of the twin spinning spirals right in front of Victor’s face. His eyes immediately locked onto the screen, and Smiler saw his shoulders sag into the pillows just a little bit more. “Let the spirals empty out your head now, Victor. Let them drain away all those worries, all those cares, all that everything that was stopping you from relaxing and enjoying yourself. Let it all go. No more thoughts for now, Victor. No more thoughts. No thoughts...”
“...just smiles,” Victor responded, his lips lifting into a beautifully silly grin as the trance took full hold.
“That’s right,” Alice nodded, shooting Smiler a pleased smirk before curling up by Victor’s side and stroking his hair. “No thoughts, just smiles.”
“Just smiles,” Smiler agreed, getting themselves into a slightly more comfortable position as well –
And then they grinned, and rested a hand on Victor’s thigh. “Well. Maybe a little more than just smiles...”

when quincy and kuya pay a visit to the cult members that nearly killed eiden, olivine and yakumo, most of them know to be fearful. they may not recognize the two men personally, but anyone could sense the murderous aura surrounding them.
one of the cultists, though, has both miraculous amounts of stupidity and audacity, as he makes a snide comment about how much he enjoyed tormenting the poor serpent specifically. his words paint a cruel picture that makes quincy’s blood boil, but before he can even blink, kuya has already taken matters into his own hands.
it’s not the first time kuya has killed, far from it. it’s also not the first time quincy has witnessed kuya murder someone. though, after reducing a man to nothing more than a blood splatter on the wall, the fox expects quincy to say something.
wiping the blood off of his face with his cleaner hand, kuya turns to look at his old friend, clearly waiting for a response and yet receiving nothing but silence.
“what? no comment about how i ‘went too far?” kuya sneers, slightly exasperated.
though, quincy has.. an odd expression on his face. he seems to be deep in thought, but he’s also radiating an ice cold anger that kuya hadn’t seen before, not even during the lunar eclipse. just when the fox is about to snap his fingers in front of the larger man’s face, quincy seems to return to the present, finally making eye contact.
“…no. i would have done the same thing myself.”
it’s at that very moment that kuya realizes just how much quincy cares for yakumo.

"Republic, empire. What's the difference?"
This is one of the random lines I think about A Lot from Aftermath, because while Crosshair spends a lot of his time being extra pissed off because of the chip I'm pretty sure this part is just his legit feelings and you know what I get where he's coming from. Clones aren't exactly siding with the Republic because they have strong political opinions on democracy, they were literally purchased to do it. So you get a lot of talk of the ideals of the Republic and such when they're using soldiers that never had a choice in what they're fighting for.
Go to a place. Shoot a thing because you were told to. Get treated as a number no matter what. Die young for a cause you may or may not give a shit about. Before the clones start getting 'phased out' truly there has been no change in their status, they're still cannon fodder with zero real rights. Then just add in the chip to smooth out the moral gaps on things like murdering children, civilians, and the jedi and it all starts to feel like a regular clone Tuesday again.

I had the weirdest dream. I was in the airlock entryway to a spaceship and I was coming back from deep space with my crew. except to get in, you needed the right key. a few of us try to open it up but we can't quite get it because we're shivering, it's so cold. and the doorway becomes this washing machine that's like gushing water in these weird little spurts. and I can't see it but I just know that once I get the door leading inside open, it'll malfunction. it's something about the space door still being open + all this gushing water + the cold. and I get the door open finally and am immediately sucked into this time void, but it looks silver and feels like rushing water and then I woke up.
but the weirdest thing about that is that when I woke up and checked my phone, it said it was 2:12am January 29th. I had to restart it to get it to be normal 😶

Had a dream where I was living in some somewhat fantasy setting, kind of like Fablehaven where in the modern world there's magical creatures n witches n shit. I don't remember much of the beginning of that dream, but I think I was at my home when I learned that some evil witch queen is coming and she's going to kill one girl I knew, that I think was a princess but I don't remember if they were related or like, from different kingdoms or whatever. The queen wants her dead so bad she'd kill anyone that tries to protect her. So, of course, I decided to protect the princess, who was during the entire dream completely unaware of what's happening, I'm not sure if she was even conscious, like, she was in some catatonic state. I took the princess to my place, thinking that the queen definitely won't know she's with some random human guy. So the next thing I know the queen invades my home. She was moving around in like this vehicle that looked like a locomotive but with spider legs so it could move anywhere, and the front of it looked like her face, but it was all looking very futuristic or like some mech. And she was followed by an army of either people in futuristic armor or straight up robots. Weirdly enough she didn't kill anyone at my home, though she did drive her spider train through my home's wall. I managed to escape with the princess using some secret tunnels underground. Eventually after running away for super long and events that I unfortunately don't remember, I ended up in some castle ruins with the princess. The queen found me there, but the weird thing was that she wasn't really threatening. I mean she looked scary, her royal gown and crown also had this metallic elements like robot armor or smth, she looked really cool actually, but in a very scary way. But she was kind, and kind of desperate. When she found us in the ruins, she came there alone in her train, and left the vehicle behind her as she approached us. I have this very clear image of me curled up around the princess, protecting her with my body, in some corner, and the queen reaching her hand to me and begging to give her the princess. When I didn't, she summoned some guy to fight me, n it felt very much like I was inside a video game. I had to simultaneously fight the guy off and keep the princess safe from the queen, but at this point I was wondering what even is the deal with them. I've heard the queen was a relentless killer, but she seemed more like a desperate mother whose child was stolen. I never found out what the truth was, though. After I killed the guy she summoned the queen came to me like she wanted to hug me, but I was still too scared of her and didn't let her. I didn't see the princess again, I don't know what happened with her. The queen seemed like she wants to take me with her for whatever reason, but again, I was too afraid and confused and lost. And I woke up so idk what was her deal, but she seemed like such an interesting character. I may adopt her as a new OC and develop her story so that it makes sense

hatsune miku, tw: discussion of religion
is this miku ?
Tumblr media
[v2 miku art]
no. it isnt.
its a representation of miku, it isnt miku herself. 
Tumblr media
[clip art of a pringles can with 3 pringles on the side]
that image is miku about as much as this one is a pringles can. meaning it isnt, its just a representation of one.
what is miku ?
“a vocaloid” you might say, “a voice bank” maybe, “an anime character” no. “an icon” ? yes, she is.
miku is an idea, she only exists because we, as a collective, agree so. she has no physical body, yet she exists. not as a real human person of flesh and bone, but as a concept. every depiction of her is just an interpretation of the idea of “hatsune miku”.
shes a bit like money
Tumblr media
[photo of a one (1) euro coin]
this coin has a value of one (1) euro only because we as a society have agreed it has. in the same way this 
Tumblr media
[v4 miku art]
only “is miku” because we have agreed that is so.
i was raised catholic christian. not very strictly or overly religiously, but that is the religion and idea of god i am most familiar with.
i think god exists, but not as an actual being, but as an idea. the act of believing in god creates god, the act of believing in god is god. very similar to miku. she exists only through our belief that she does.
people put up shrines for their gods, they turn to them in times of worry when they need comfort, and they believe in their gods. so isnt hatsune miku a god ? does a god need world creating and destroying power ? does miku have world creating power ? do the countless people shes saved count as worlds made ? if the world only exists through the perception of those within it, doesnt that mean every person is their own world ? doesnt that mean miku has created countless worlds ? has saved countless worlds ?
i jokingly say i follow mikuism when someone asks me what region im part of, but could i not say so genuinely ? 
Tumblr media
[ "any specific system of belief and worship, often involving a code of ethics and a philosophy." This definition would exclude religions that do not engage in worship. It implies that there are two important components to religion: one's belief and worship in a deity or deities.]
im not reading all that, BUT does that not mean miku can literally be a god ?
does that not mean miku is a god ?

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?
𝐎𝐂 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐒!
Tumblr media
Being a civilian for the most part, Khare still hasn't really come to terms with fighting. When push comes to shove, flight is much preferred but in most situations she's liable to freeze unless attacked, and even then she'd make a break for the nearest exit. Fortunately she'd had no trouble since coming to Gotham; people mind their own business and customers at Pauli's Diner are more interested in a hot meal than harassing waitresses, especially as police activity in the area increased since the Scarecrow's recent attack on the Grand Avenue.
The last time Khare was (intentionally) violent was when she assaulted the guard assigned to her cell. As he bent over to inspect her 'corpse', she headbutted him, which broke his nose and slammed his head against the wall for good measure before absconding with the keys out of the facility she'd been held in. The second time was more self-defence when, while travelling down south after she'd escaped, a grizzly bear decided she'd make a tastier meal than the salmon in the river. Khare lost a limb in the attack which regrew shortly afterwards, but the bear was left with more than a few scars when the flesh he'd bitten off starting biting back.
