Nespresso + Caran d’Ache fixpencil, again

This is a quick follow-up post on the Nespresso + Caran d’Ache fixpencil I got from Pen Heaven last year. A quick reminder: My fixpencil came with the less desirable mechanism from the fixpencil 884. This means it also didn’t come with a sharpener in the push button. Top to bottom: Fixpencil 884 (Junior), Nespresso + CdA, Fixpencil 22 As shown from the comments left by some of the readers,…

What would an AU where Mrs Shigaraki managed to run away from her husband with her children look like? How would that have changed AFO and Yoichi's relationship?

Well, if we're still imagining that it's in a No Quirks AU, then it would've changed a lot of things!

The catalyst for their relationship (in my own headcanons) was the fact that Takashi and Yoichi were left alone to their own devices. If their mother runs off with them—let's say she has some family back in France that she can stay with for an indeterminate amount of time—then 1) their mother is still around to take care of Yoichi, and 2) the house is likely filled with other people, other relatives that give them all varying amounts of affection and attention. This makes MAJOR waves in what Takashi's original role would've been, because now there are competent adults taking care of he and Yoichi, there are multiple other people for them to socialize with, and their mother is there with the time to teach Yoichi right from wrong. In this AU, Yoichi likely learns about the wrongness of being intimate with family far earlier.

(Jesus CHRIST this got long. Under the cut it goes.)

Now, under these circumstances I could reason that Yoichi wouldn't develop romantic feelings for Takashi at all (I do not think I could ever reason out a way that Takashi does not love Yoichi in a completely unhealthy and mildly terrifying way) because he's got people around him to not only help him develop proper morals, but a healthier mindset that doesn't latch onto its one and only support pillar, because there are now other support pillars and all that love and affection and tension has a proper outlet.

BUT THAT'S NO FUN! So I'm gonna take 'Yoichi still falls in love with his brother anyway' for five hundred, Alex.

Takashi falls for Yoichi on sight, obviously, and as they grow up Takashi is ungodly protective of Yoichi. It's partly the lingering trauma from their shitty dad, and partly him being a possessive little shit. Yoichi doesn't go anywhere with anyone without Takashi knowing about it. The one time they took Yoichi to the dentist without informing him, Takashi attempted to chase the fucking car down and eventually crashes in through the fuckdamn skylight when they stop at a red light. After that everyone always either takes Takashi with Yoichi or carefully explains where they're going and what they're doing.

Now, in this scenario you'd think that the previously Mrs. Shigaraki would do something, right? Would scold her child? Try to reign him in? Keep him in line? NOPE. Because Miss Shigaraki still remembers every time she watched her husband beat her eldest son, watched Takashi take beatings meant for Yoichi without stepping in, even sometimes redirecting her husband's anger towards one of her sons on purpose to protect herself. And so does Takashi :) And he does not hesitate to remind her of it when she tries to parent him in any way :)) She keeps away from him, and he keeps away from her, and they keep civil.

Yoichi is the common denominator between Takashi and their mother, and though he loves his mother, as he gets older he starts to notice the fact that she keeps trying to separate he and Takashi. Putting distance between them, making them sleep in separate rooms, even purposefully trying to start fights and arguments between them. Yoichi's love for his mother fades a little when he realizes that she only really loves them when it's convenient for her to do so :') And when Yoichi keeps wanting to hug Takashi, sit in Takashi's lap, be carried around by Takashi, kiss Takashi—and his mother is the one that keeps pulling him away and telling him "No, you can't do that." "Stop that, it's odd." "You shouldn't act that way.", he knows why, yes, but he also is convinced by then that she's trying to alienate him from Takashi and make Yoichi hate him (she is).

Did I mention that Yoichi is still the pursuer in this AU? Because he is :D

Takashi is so busy trying to ensure that no one comes between him and Yoichi that he doesn't really have time to examine exactly why he's so determined to keep him close—and because of Mrs. Shigaraki always telling Yoichi why being so affectionate with his brother is bad and odd, Yoichi is the one who figures his feelings out first. And (I hate to say this it sounds like sacrilege lmao) Yoichi is an honest god spoiled brat. Not in the 'screams and cusses and won't share his toys' way; I mean this in the 'Yoichi smiles at people and they find him so cute that they give him whatever he wants so he comes to expect his desires to be tended to or to be given a damn good reason as to why they won't be" type of way. Yoichi nags and whines and pouts and climbs on you when you don't give him what he wants. Takashi will get quiet and maybe slash your tires or shave your cat if you deny him something—Yoichi gets far more manipulative when he wants something and you don't give it to him. He's very good at making people think that his ideas are their ideas. Yes Auntie Yoichi understands that cookies would ruin his dinner, it's just that he was playing really hard earlier so he forgot to eat lunch and he's really hungry so he just wanted one. Just a little one, for a snack. But if you think it's best to wait....Really Auntie, oh that's so kind of you, you're Yoichi's favorite forever 🥰

All that to say that when Yoichi discovers that he wants romantic kisses from Takashi, he throws a fucking fit when Takashi denies him. He cajoles and cries and shouts and all the while Takashi is shouting right back because in THIS verse, Takashi knows that they've got a good deal. They've got food and shelter and a hefty inheritance coming when their relatives die, and a cushy stay in the meantime—he's a smart boy, he processes the consequences of giving in before he processes the fact that he actually wants to. He knows that they'll likely be disowned if their family finds them, ahem, romantically entangled.

Yoichi does not win that first argument. He pouts and refuses to speak to Takashi for four whole days—practically forever for these freaks that have never been separated for longer than a damn hour—and eventually Takashi breaks, and they fight about it again.

The thing I didn't mention about this AU is the fact that the healthier environment actually DOES help Takashi learn a bit more shame, a bit more of a sense of right and wrong, and that it kind of does the opposite for Yoichi. But only slightly, in BOTH directions.

So the next time that Takashi breaks someone's arm, or sets someone's garden on fire, or cuts someone's car breaks—Yoichi finds out about it. He doesn't like that Takashi ruins other people's things or hurts them, but you know what he doesn't like even more? Not getting his rightful fucking kisses, that's what. So instead of being normal and telling on Takashi, Yoichi blackmails Takashi into being with him romantically :) After getting a promise that Takashi will never hurt anyone on purpose again, of course. That Takashi lies and agrees to, of course. Those rascals ✨

Takashi really doesn't need much prodding after that though—once he uncovers the root of his desires, they just get that much stronger, and Takashi is not really in the habit of denying his impulses, even in this AU. He's just learned how to be quieter about it and not get caught :3

What about if 3rd was a former assassin for AFO?

i wishhhhhhhh for real i've been hc-ing that ponytail bodyguard was pineaple hair holder since before we got names or numbers or faces for any of them! got a new 'do when he changed sides. it'd be so cool if this isn't the first time Second's welcomed in people from AfO's side, he sees Yoichi in the vault and lifts a hand and when he sees Third getting very wide, panicked eyes behind him hes just like "dude this guy has almost certainly killed less people than you, its only fair we offer him a way out"

and yoichi is like "its true now but i can fix that 💚🗡"

and second is like "well now i hope you do 👀❤"

and third is like "NO thats not why im panicking, my old boss is going to so murder us so painfully for this is all."

#its fun if yoichi recognizes third! its fun if he doesnt! #its fun if third lead second to him on purpose! its fun if its an accident! #there are NINE holders cmon you're going to tell me not ONE of them defected from afo? #i personally just think i deserve to have at least one who defected from afo #then again i also thought statistically a group kinda picked at random would not be 89% men but.......... anyway...................... #anon #pocket talks to people

i think a cool ending could be midoriya forcing one for all into shigaraki/afo and bc of the amount of power from unlocking all the quirks, it causes the quirk singularity theory to come true and the quirks all destroy themselves, leaving shigaraki and midoriya quirkless

#i want some payoff for the quirkless plot okay #the only reason midoriya was quirkless is just to have a big contrast to how powerful he becomes #but you cant just have all these unertones and implications and do nothing with them #its lazy at best and bad writing at worst #this way the quirk singularity theory comes full circle (bc that getting so much emphasis then just going nowhere is weird too) #midoriya being the last wielder would have meaning instead of him just being another holder and giving it to some random kid when hes fifty #and him getting to be a quirkless hero is still imo the best version of his ending #shigaraki being quirkless would lead him to being saved instead of killed and without decay eating him from inside he might be #able to think past all of afos grooming bullshit #and i still like the afo gave him decay theory which would be a great way to introduce it #i just want something that isnt just a punch up like kamino #i want narrative depth and thematic conclusion #go beyond plus ultra #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #midoriya izuku #deku #shigaraki tomura #afo #all for one #one for all #mha #bnha #my hero academia #boko no hero academia #mha theory #all might #bnha manga spoilers

Nespresso + Caran d'Ache

Nespresso + Caran d’Ache

Thanks to Pen Heaven I was able to get my hands on a Nespresso + Caran d’Ache fixpencil for the purpose of writing a review. Cooperations, like the one between Nespresso and Caran d’Ache, often use the letter “x” between the two company names, but Nespresso and Caran d’Ache have opted for the use of the “+” instead, so I will follow their approach. Before the Fixpencil arrived I expected to see…

2023-07-25 Graphical cat char red & graphite sketches

Some red lead & pencil sketches of my geometric/graphical cat character, plus older sketches. Last Tuesday, I did this as a way to keep myself awake while trying to readjust my sleeping pattern.🥱

Now, for my notes (both transcriptions of my stream of consciousness, tired writing and edits)

BEHIND-THE-SCENES: TROUBLE W/ TIMELAPSES FOR TRADITIONAL MEDIA

7/25/2023 6:11-6:36am {sketch 1}

Sketching took far longer than it had to.😥

Difficult to freely sketch while recording w/ my phone in the other hand, since I’d need to draw broad strokes, usually…which I can’t easily capture in a recording, at least in portrait orientation. Maybe even at all, since I’d always be trying to look over the phone either way. (Might be worse in landscape.)

- 6:42am

6:42-7:18am From thumbnail I prepared on 7/23/23 @ 6:46pm (to 6:49pm) [also attached]

MINI JOURNAL

Originally, I was going to do a timelapse recording w/ my phone, but as noted above, it hindered my free-flowing, broad strokes sketching. Maybe I’ll try to look into a good stand, or maybe even see if we have one around the house that I could use.

SELF-CRITIQUE

7:18-7:44am [far right sketch]

+ Love how much looser this sketch turned out!

- Arm pose too ambiguous

* [3 alternative arm sketches: 2 below the negative note and 1 upper-body one below the entire sketch]

* Also, 1 alternative, horizontally-squished eyebrow & eye sketch next to the latter sketch

ART SUPPLIES

Notes: Monteverde Soft Roll Ballpoint Pen [refill]

Sketch: Uni Mitsubishi [Lead Holder Refill] (2 mm - Red)

Final Pencil Lines: Tombow <Homo-Graph> MONO [4B]

*4B was so smooth to draw with! & surprisingly easy to erase, if you went light with it.

Paper: Hammermill Colored Paper, 20 lb Ivory Printer Paper, 8.5x11”

I should be studying right now, but… do you ever think about how Arakawa didn't have to die?

Not even in the meta sense that it's RGG "tradition" to take faceclaims/father figures/antagonists out of the picture and that traditions should sometimes be broken, or that Aoki would've changed his mind, or that Ishioda or Tendo could've been stopped. But because Jo is the captain (and later second patriarch) of an organization specifically stated to specialize in faking deaths. A practice that originated in the Bubble Era years after Jo had already joined, and that Jo was no doubt intimately familiar with.

Like, isn't that why Arakawa was able to take that risk shooting Ichi? It just feels like things could've gone so much differently had Jo "accepted" Aoki's orders and "confronted" Arakawa with some kind of escape. Perhaps the Ijincho homeless camp would be off-limits, having drawn too much attention recently, but an assassin would surely know how to lay low for a while.

And maybe Aoki, Ishioda, and Tendo would've been undone by their own ambition anyway. And Arakawa could've kept his word and ran the security company with the pillars of the Tojo and Omi, while Jo could've been the chairman of the Tokyo Omi Alliance; light and shadow, opposite to their respective sons. And so many more yakuza wouldn't have been left with nowhere to go.

And hell, maybe none of it would've worked out in the end, maybe it would've all folded like a house of cards, but wasn't it worth a shot? Perhaps it was Yokoyama he who didn't think of it (or couldn't/didn't pursue it even if he did), perhaps it was Jo. But there's something so tragic about being so fundamentally opposed to lifting a finger in violence towards your co-parent and patriarch that you decline the opportunity to save him.

I wonder if the thought has ever occurred to Jo.

I wonder how much he regrets it.

UGH RIGHT IT'S SOOOO....

Like of COURSE I'm upset about Arakawa's death in that we lost a wonderful character and father figure in the franchise, but also it's cause it's just... for all the scheming Arakawa and Jo have been doing behind Aoki's back this entire time, Jo folded on this opportunity to get Arakawa out of Aoki's radar for good this time- or for at least the time being.

It's a testament to the humanity he convinced himself he threw away, and that's why it especially makes me want to scream. From our understanding, Jo is supposed to be very pragmatic and tries to deal with matters as efficiently as possible and generally seems emotionally detached from his work (of course we know that's not the case, but just from a surface-level perspective that's how it appears). So the one time Jo does show an ounce of humanity, it has the greatest consequence.

#snap chats #holder until i think of a tag for these asks #honestly ive mostly made peace with arakawa being gone since i can rationalize it as it potentially being expensive to bring nakai back #but. 1.) ill still be upset when i remember 2.) the fact nakai has lines recorded for LaD8. //blood curdling screaming// #but moving on its certainly not just jo being so innately opposed to doing arakawa any wrong either in my belief #i also think it's in part of jo also not wanting to ostensibly betray aoki like that either #its one thing to be in cahoots with the tojo still from a distance but still ultimately doing what aoki wants #but it's another to operate a plan that you have an immense hand in that will absolutely go against what aoki wants #in a sense jo ultimately did choose aoki over masumi- not intentionally of course #but by being honest with aoki- or presumably he was honest with aoki- that he wasnt able to kill arakawa #then that of course leads to the domino affect of ishioda being tasked with the job #ohhh Butterfly Effect i love you so you're so evil and fucked up #jo definitely has all the time in the world to think about. Everything #not only does he lose arakawa but he loses aoki in the same month- if not the same week #i wonder if anyone told him what happened... #oohhh that reminds me of an old comic i had drafted. i dont have the time or energy to finish it anymore #but i'm tormented by thoughts daily #at the end of all this i do have resposnes ready for your longer asks ! #i just needa make sure theyre all good and whatnot so i'll have them up in a secod :)
