Kenma Kozume || Kiss Kiss, Fall in Love 🍃

MINORS/AGELESS BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT || 18+ ONLY ||

|| ao3 version | series m.list | hq tag | main blog ||

Of many reasons I love you here is one –Bird-Understander || C. Arnold

↠ A love story as told through kisses…

↠ Requested By: Nobody, I just had an ~i d e a~, Mr. Krabs ↠ Reader Gender: Neutral ↠ Content Type: SFW floofy-floof ((but my blog’s 18+ if minors want to consume my sfw stuff while still respecting my wishes of them staying out of this space, they can head over to my AO3)) ↠ Chronology: Pre and post time skip. ↠ CWs: Tetsuro Kuroo is his own warning tbh lmao. At least he’s using his powers of annoyance and scheming for good this time around. Other than that, we should be good, fam… ↠ No betas—we die like grammatically incorrect men here. ↠ Total WC: 6k~

Ngl—the first section is just a straight up oneshot lmfao.

Kenma is one of those characters that I don’t see as being too easy to get close to. Platonic relationships are hard enough to form and maintain with the dude, never mind romantic ones, so to get to such a point there needed to be a bit more background and yeah. Here we are. Enjoy the fruits of me being too deep in my own head/HCs, ig lmao…

((also it’s my first time writing for Kemmy so pls be gentle ;n;))

🍃 First Kiss

You, Always || WC: 3.3k~

“Alright, ____: truth or dare?”

There’s a predatory glint to Kuroo’s smile that you don’t quite trust—not that you really trust any of his smiles mind you, you’ve been friends far too long for that level of foolishness—but there’s something especially sinister about the way he’s eyeing you at the moment. This is why you pick the safest option allowed to you, ‘Truth’ (which, again, isn’t all that safe, but there’s no way in hell you’re going near any dares that this scheming asshole’s cooked up). Of course fucking off into the sunset is an option too, but honestly you’re afraid of what’ll happen to poor Kenma’s house if you leave an entire VBCs’ worth of teenaged boys alone without some semblance of supervision.

With your group being mostly comprised of second and third years, his parents had deemed you all old enough to be left alone for the day. A grave mistake on their part, truly.

Aside from yourself there isn’t a manager—senior, assistant, or otherwise—to be found, meaning the level of brain cells present in the room’s disproportionally low. The others not being here is unsurprising if unwanted; they were all smart enough to stay away which is why Kenma insisted that you had to come. “Risk prevention” he had fairly called it, and you being the magnanimous friend and overly giving soul that you are had agreed. That it meant that you would get to spend a whole afternoon with your best friend turned unwitting crush was just a questionable bonus.

Questionable because being around Kenma Kozume has become a precarious balancing act that you’re not sure you can keep up with anymore, not when you like him this much. So far you’ve been doing a decent job of it, but you’re sure that’s it’s only a matter of time before something gives you away–

Something like the fucking chemistry rooster’s overly invasive question.

Thankfully the object of your affection had recused himself from the game the very moment it was proposed, and has been tucked away in the corner with his 3DS ever since. The sounds emanating from the device paint his current obsession as the newest Fire Emblem game, and the furrow of his brow and rapid movements of his hands tells you that his attention does not extend itself beyond the world locked behind that tiny glass screen—thank the fucking gods.

Unfortunately for you, the overly tall boy besides you isn’t likewise preoccupied.

“What?” you say, voice deadpan as you give him the most unimpressed look you can muster.

“I said, do you want to kiss anyone in this room?”

Motherfucker. This asshole’s really doubling down, huh? Aloud, “The hell type of question is that, Kuroo?”

He cocks a brow at you, his feline eyes as sharp as ever. “The kind that you’re avoiding, clearly.” His lips slowly pull off into a shit-eating grin as he takes in your fidgeting hands and bouncing leg. “Not that it matters, really. You’re flustered as hell, so I’m gonna take that as a yes.”

Your reply comes in the form of twin middle fingers raised and thrust forward at the snickering group as a whole. Thankfully Yamamoto’s overly eager to get to his turn; he begs you very loudly for a dare, all too ready to do something stupid and you’re all too willing to oblige.

The game carries on without further incident after that—well ones involving your love life, anyway. At least two of the guys are gonna have stomachaches and poor Lev’s leg ends up getting pretty badly strained when he tries to get it behind his head, but that’s all par the course. Still, if you were smart you would’ve abandoned ship right after you’d gotten Tora to gag down that spoonful of cinnamon, cutting your losses and telling Kenma to keep hope alive, but with all of the ensuing idiocy it was easy to forget that the universe’s favorite conduit for antagonistic energy has you in his sights.

Kuroo grins his plot-y little grin as he watches you struggle to choose an option for the second time in an hour. You’re sure that if you pick truth again he’ll press for details on whom it is that you want to kiss despite knowing damn well that you have a thing for your mutual friend. In fact most everyone here knows about your crush except for said crush, and though having your innermost desires known to so many is its own special brand of torture, nobody has ever seemed intent on holding it over your head until now. You have no idea what Kuroo’s damage is, but at this rate you’re seriously rethinking the whole of your friendship.

It’s right around the time that Kuroo starts to wheedle you for an answer that Kenma decides to make his presence known. The flat “Stop” that he gives can just barely be heard over the ruckus around you, but when someone as quiet at the setter usually is speaks people tend to listen. The whole of your group look to where he now stands just behind the space between you and Kuroo with expressions ranging from confused to impish to annoyingly amused; unsurprisingly Kuroo is among the latter.

“I’m just trying to keep the game going,” he says with an easy smile as he tilts his head back to regard his friend. His lips curl up into a smirk as he takes in the slight frown that pulls at the other boy’s.

“No, you’re being annoyingly meddlesome and pushy—as usual.” To you, “You brought your DS? Good. We’re gonna have to grind a bit more if we wanna be ready for the next Grudge Match.”

It’s an extremely bold move coming from a guy who absolutely hates to stand out in any capacity.

As if he comes back to himself all at once, Kenma blinks owlishly a few times before pushing out a hard breath through his nose. The action seems to deflate him, leaving his shoulders drooping as he turns on his heel and heads for the stairs without another word.

Lev’s “Damn” comes just as Yaku asks “What the hell was that?”

“I dunno,” Yamamoto admits, “but it was kinda baller, not gonna lie.”

As more speculations sound you ignore them all in favor of making a quick exit, pointedly pretending that the snickers and wolf-whistles that trail behind you as you too make your way to your host’s bedroom aren’t happening.

You’re barely spared so much as a glance as you close the door behind yourself, with the pudding-haired boy being as silent as ever as he moves through his space. His room is in its usual state of disarray, with clothes, various manga, empty cans, and a few wrappers strewn about; you obviously cannot call the place clean, but it isn’t dirty as much as it is cluttered (though at some point he’s gonna have to learn how to make proper use of a waste basket).

The only thing that is truly in order is his gaming collection, unsurprisingly. The pristine cases are all lined along their designated shelves with care and a level of organization that one would not expect given the overall state of the room. Kenma has tried to explain the intricacies of his system to you on several occasions, but once he started getting into subgenres within subgenres you lost track, much to his quiet amusement.

At current he ignores all of this in favor of plopping down on his mostly made bed. Grabbing up his Circle Pad as well as his copy of Monster Hunter Tri, he swaps out cards before settling in. He sits so that his back is braced against the wall, the ever present slouch allowing his legs to dangle over the mattress’s side, and you move to sit beside him—though with the echoes of laughter and unwanted questions still sounding in your head you make sure to keep your distance.

Even with such scenes being more than common between you something feels… off, though for the life of you, you cannot figure out why that is.

At first you think it’s your own doing—you’re still a bit shaken by that stupid game, and you wouldn’t be surprised to find that your nerves are getting the better of you—but while that probably isn’t helping matters you’re not the only one putting out some weirdly strained vibes. All it takes is one look at Kenma’s overly hard button mashes and the near vicious way he chews at his bottom lip to know that something’s bothering him, but your asking after him nets you little more than a shrug.

It’s an expected response, but somewhat disheartening nonetheless.

The pair of you are close, closer than him and Kuroo even, if only because you’d known him longer by a year. You’re used to him keeping you at arm’s length when it comes to so many things, but you’d thought that you’d gotten to the point where he’d at least acknowledge that there is indeed something wrong.

Your troubled pout pulls a sigh from the boy as he pauses his game, and you find yourself doing the same. He stares off into the middle-distance as he tries to gather his thoughts, his thumbs tapping out a random beat against the handheld’s plastic casing.

“Kuroo’s a friend, but… he can be a lot,” he finally says. “He shouldn’t have put you on the spot like that, that wasn’t cool, but still. I think I may have overacted.”

He drags his fingers through the length of his hair with an agitated little huff of breath before allowing his head to thump back against the wall. “To be honest, I didn’t expect you to come up here after all of that. It was kind of a lot, and I… I kinda feel like I need apologize to you, so—sorry. That was probably embarrassing as hell for you.”

“Oh, uh, yeah, thanks, but you don’t need to apologize,” you assure him. “You were just looking out for me, I can’t be mad at that.”

The smile you give him is regarded with critical eyes that fall away before you can get your own read on him. He lets out a thoughtful hum as he switches the game back on. “Well I guess I should be saying you’re welcome instead.”

You snort at that. “Yeah, thanks—I guess.” Though your tone is somewhat sarcastic, there’s an undercurrent of fondness that you just can’t seem to shake when you talk to him, though apparently your friend doesn’t read it as such. You don’t expect a response of any sort, so it surprises you when Kenma turns his head fully towards you before looking away.

“You don’t have to pretend to be okay with this, ____. My intentions were good, but”—another sigh—“I don’t get to assume things just because we’re friends. I figured with how flustered you were getting you’d want to get out of there, but being flustered isn’t always a bad thing, not if… Not if you like the person who’s making you that way, anyway.”

The implications behind the statement leave you choking on a spurt of confused laughter. You like Kuroo, sure—despite how much of a teasing jackass he can be, you actually count him among your closest friends—but your affections don’t run any deeper than that. When you tell Kenma as much he blinks hard a few times before turning confused eyes on you. Those soft, golden irises are shadowed by some emotion that you cannot name as he mutters out a soft “What?”

“I don’t like Kuroo like that,” you repeat, your voice measured and words slowed in an obvious attempt to make sure that you’re well understood. “Hell, I can barely even tolerate his ass like a good seventy-five percent of the time—and I don’t mean that in a tsundere type way, I mean it in a ‘If we weren’t friends I would’ve legit kick his teeth into the back of his throat years ago’ type way.”

“…Then why?”

Now it’s your turn to sigh. “‘Why’ what, Kenma?”

“Why do you get so antsy around him? Why is he able to fluster you so easily? If you don’t like him like him, why does he make you so nervous?”

His questions leave you frozen. How are you supposed to answer any of them without giving away your secret? You suppose you should be grateful that he hasn’t picked up on your true feelings yet, but at the same time his thinking that you’re crushing on your mutual friend doesn’t sit well with you. You have no idea how to go about any of this, but the silence that comes with your indecision is apparently answer enough for the setter.

Kenma turns his attention back to the game without so much as a glance in your direction as he says, “If you don’t want to admit it, that’s fine ____.”

“Ke–”

“You don’t have to stay up here, either,” he continues on, cutting you off as if you had not spoken. “In fact it’s probably better if you don’t. Wouldn’t want Kuroo and the rest to get the wrong idea.”

His voice is vacant in a way that you’ve never heard before and it makes your chest ache even as it leaves your heart fluttering with something akin to hope.

In all the years that you’ve known him, Kenma has never been one for overt showings of emotions. Sure he gets happy, sad, mad, and everything else—he’s just as human as any of you, after all—but it’s always a subtle thing. Most found attempting to pursue and maintain a friendship with such a person to be too bothersome, and maybe it is, but you’ve always had a soft spot for life’s outcasts. That’s what had made you approach the boy back in primary school, recently obtained Game Boy Advance and connector cable in tow, a copy of Pokémon Sapphire primed and at the ready.

He had been even quieter back then, only speaking when he deemed it to be an absolute necessity, which wasn’t very often. His reticence forced you to learn how to read his moods fairly early on, and in the time since your skills have only sharpened. But just as you’ve leveled up your observation stat he’s apparently been working on his cloaking—how else would he have been able to hide his feeling away from you, when you can read him so well?

Though you’re shaking slightly, your touch is sure when you finally rest your palm against his hand. Kenma continues to peck away at his 3DS, but he does briefly flick his eyes over at where your fingers curl around him in between taking out a wave of low level monsters. This brief divergence of attention is as much of sign that he’s listening as you’re going to get, and so you steel yourself with a deep breath before finally speaking your truth.

“I– Okay, so… The reason Kuroo’s able to get under my skin so easily isn’t because of him, not really—it’s about what he knows.” Another eye flick then, this time his topaz gaze roves over the whole of your face before quickly falling away, and the action leaves you smiling just a bit.

“As you very well know, he’s annoyingly observant, but then again so are you, which is why I cannot figure out how it is that he knows but you don’t.”

That finally draws the whole of his focus to you. His eyes narrow slightly in confusion as his mouth parts around a soundless question. Not that he really needs to speak, you know what it is that he’s asking and so you give him his answer.

“It’s you, Kenma. It’s always been you. I’ve liked you for nearly as long as I’ve known you, but I never said anything because I didn’t want to make it weird, yanno? Like we’re best friends, and I wouldn’t want to risk losing that over a crush—no matter how massive it’s gotten—but now it feels like I’m going to lose you anyway because you’re pulling away because you think I like fucking Tetsuro Kuroo of all fucking people, and dammit if this ship’s just gonna sink I might as well put it all out there.”

You take another deep breath once your deluge comes to its end. Your heart’s beating way too fast and you’re pretty sure that your hand has sweated all over his, but despite all of this you feel lighter for having told him.

“Oh.”

You can’t help the huff of laughter that pushes its way out of your mouth. You lay the whole of your heart and emotions bare to this cat of a boy and all he has to say is “Oh.” It would be insulting if it wasn’t so him.

The room goes quiet for a beat, and then two, and just as you’re about to apologize for making things weird he finally decides to say something more substantial.

“So you’ve been feeling this way for a while then?” He mirrors your nod, though his holds an air of absence as he continues to puzzle his way through it all. “I guess I wasn’t really paying attention to stuff like that when we were younger, and then Kuroo moved in next door and was just kind of always there after that, so by the time I did start paying attention– Well your liking him made more sense, honestly. He’s smart, funny, and even charming when he wants to be; he’s also taller, in better shape, and is better looking. A shining rockerboy to my nerdy, moody techie*.”

You shake your head hard at that. “Don’t do that—you know how much I hate when you get down on yourself like that. Kuroo’s great, sure, but you are too, Kenma.”

There’s so much more you want to say—like how his small smiles always set your heart to doing somersaults, and that his laugh is your own personal cure for any and all forms of melancholy, and if he keeps letting his hair grow out you may just keel over from how damn good he looks—but you keep your thoughts behind your teeth for now. There’s only so much affection that the boy’s willing to endure in one sitting, and you’ve already crossed the line twice over with your little confession.

Speaking of said confession—“You still haven’t told me how you feel about all of this… about… us.”

The hand that has still yet to remove itself from your grip shifts about until its palm is cradled against yours. Kenma laces his fingers between yours, marveling at the fit for a moment, before stroking your thumb with the side of his own. His hands are rough and smooth by measures, with his sport of dubious choice leaving callouses in odd places to add an extra layer of sensation that you hadn’t been expecting, but aren’t at all opposed to.

For his part, the setter continues to play with your fingers as he speaks. “I feel relieved, honestly. Not knowing how you felt was terrible, and thinking that you liked someone else was even worse, but I was willing to live with it all if it meant keeping you in my life.”

He turns his eyes to you then, the beginnings of a full-blown smile pulling at his lips. “I don’t know much about these types of things, but I think—no, know—that it’s always been you too, ____.”

“Yeah?”

Kenma nods a bit as he leans over to press a kiss to your overly warm cheek, followed by one to the corner of your mouth, before finally brushing hesitant lips over your own. “Yeah.”

A/n: It’s my personal HC that while Kenma generally doesn’t have the patience for most TTRPGs, Cyberpunk is the one exception. He’s always found the mechanics of those types of games fascinating ((headcanon-ception: he used to want to be a game designer before he realized how much work when into it lol)), and the concept of Netrunning was especially intriguing. The more he looked into it, the more interested he got and it wasn’t long before he was dragging you out to the local hon’ya for a session lol. This didn’t last too long as he found that he enjoyed making characters and mentally writing what basically amounted to fan fiction about them to actually playing the game properly, but yeah. You guys still had your fun with the game and as such it definitely holds a special place in his heart to this day…

🍃 Volleyball Kiss

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Worth It) || WC: 1.3k

“How long have you been playing volleyball? Who taught you?

“How long have you been a setter?

“How do you train? Do you get along with your teammates?

“Have you ever hit a wall?”

Suddenly Hinata’s words make perfect sense, not that Kenma didn’t believe him before. But this Kageyama is more than ‘intense’, he’s fucking insane, and the second year cannot wait to get away from him and his incessant questions. He all but flees to the safety of the storage closet, using his size to his advantage and weaving in between people as he goes in hopes of shaking his pursuer. He nearly trips over the net that he still has cradled against his middle a couple of times, but other than that he makes it to his destination without further incident, thank the gods. Ignoring whatever it is Yamamoto and Karasuno’s outside hitter has going on, he shoves the bundle of nylon in the general area of the rest of the nets before slowly making his way back to the cluttered room’s entrance and peeking out.

In this ever shifting sea of red and black, his fellow setter is just one more body in the crowd. Kenma hopes that his relatively short stature will once again allow for him to get swallowed up as well, but–

“Hey! Number Five! Why’d you run? I just want to–”

“N-no, I don’t have time to talk, I have to, um, go.”

The ravenette’s brow furrows at that. “Go where? Neither of our teams is ready to leave yet.”

Where? Literally anywhere that isn’t here.

Whether or not he actually says this or just thinks it really loudly, Kenma has no clue, nor does he care. Even if he hadn’t just got done with a rather intense match he’s sure that he would find Kageyama’s energy to be draining—like a negative buff, slowly eating away at what little HP he’s been able to hold on to. He needs to get away from this machine of a boy and everyone else in this damned gym and recharge. Ideally he’d be doing so in the privacy of his own room, tucked well away from the bustle of the outside world, headset firmly affixed to his head and a controller vibrating against his palms. But home the place is a long bus ride away—home the person, however…

It says a lot about the state of your relationship that you barely even blink when Kenma knocks into your back without so much as a hello and buries his face between your shoulder blades. You carry on conversing with Karasuno’s manager—Shimizu, he’s pretty sure that’s what the Yamamoto Mimikyu called her—though you do acknowledge him with a few pats to the hands that have secured themselves around your middle. If the other manager finds his behavior odd she’s kind enough to keep it to herself, though the conversation does end soon after. He hadn’t been paying attention so he isn’t sure if this is because of his sudden arrival or if the exchange had come to its end naturally, but either way he’s glad. Selfish though he knows it is, the setter isn’t in the mood to share anything right now—be that wisdom that he most assuredly does not have or your attention.

“Who are you hiding from this time, hmm?” you ask, tone amused as you turn in his grasp.

His reply comes in the form of a grunt that can just be heard from where he’s now tucked his head away in the space between your shoulder and your neck. Gentle fingers massage at his nape completely uncaring of the sticky texture left behind from half dried sweat mixing with the hair moisturizer that you insisted he started using once he made the mistake of bleaching his hair. The added step to his routine is an annoyance, but better to be annoyed than be bald, he thinks. Most days, at least. Sometimes he just wants to say ‘fuck it all’, go back to his 3-in-1, and let whatever happens happen, but you really seem to like his hair, and he likes the way your fingers feel when they thread themselves through his locks, so… Yeah. So long as you’re willing to keep doling out head scratches he supposes he can keep up with the regimen.

“It wouldn’t happen to be Karasuno’s setter, would it?” Another grunt from him, and another wave of amusement from you. “Hm, thought so. He’s staring at you, hard. It’s uhh, kinda intimidating, won’t lie. I can see why you’re trying to avoid him—dude totally looks like he’s gonna run your pockets for your lunch money or something.”

He snorts at that. “I wish it was something like that, then I could just sic you or Kuroo on him.” He can practically hear your replying eye roll.

“I love it when you treat me like an attack dog.”

“And I love having scary partner privileges.”

“Whatever, jerk.” Your words hold no real sting, naturally, though you do give his hair a playful little tug that leaves him gasping. You take in his glare with a smirk that fades into a confused moue as you look over his shoulder at his stalker. “What does he want with you anyway?”

“Setting cheat codes? My life story? The secrets of the universe? I don’t know, and I don’t care. I just want him to go away. Can you make him, please?”

You take in his extremely apparent distress with a pout before pulling him in close once again. A thoughtful hum echoes through your chest as you mull things over for a moment. “Well I do have one idea, but I’m not sure you’re gonna like it.”

“Don’t care. He’s persistent and I’m desperate.”

“Desperate enough for some blatant PDA?”

He pulls himself away from his cubby long enough to look from you to his accoster, who’s clearly contemplating approaching, and back again before giving an emphatic nod. You look him over one last time, just to be sure, before bringing your hands up to cradle his face and placing a soft, sweet kiss on his lips. Though he’d obviously known what was coming, the setter still squeaks in shock, though he doesn’t jerk away. You linger for a long moment—just long enough to make any onlookers feel uncomfortable and Kenma himself melt.

Somebody yells something, but he cannot make out the voice over the rush of blood through his ears. Whatever was said earns a laugh from the room as a whole as well as a fair bit of yelling. When he finally clues back in he realizes that Kageyama is the one causing the racket; the boy’s screaming something about not being a voyeur, while his captain and their ace try to keep him from attacking their overly tall middle blocker. The bizarre sight makes it more than clear that your plan worked, and when he finally looks up at you, Kenma finds that you’re smiling that sly little smile of yours.

“So, that happened,” you start with a laugh. “Jeeze, that kid’s feral—look at him go…”

For his part Kenma just huffs before dropping his face back into the crook of your neck in an attempt to hide the blush that has no doubt spread across the whole of his face. You coo at him, giving him a little squeeze as you ask him if it was worth it.

Despite the fact that the pair of you are going to get no small amount of grief for your little stunt—Kuroo and Lev especially are going to have a field day with this—and the disturbing amount of warmth he can feel radiating from his cheeks he finds himself nodding.

“Yeah.”

A/n: Meanwhile Ukai and Takeda are absolutely hating this look for their team lmao. The former is yelling something along the lines of “Cut that out, you damn knuckleheads! Stop showcasing our crazy!!” and the latter is bowing in apology 40 going north all the while thinking, Ffs, I cannot take any of them anywhere lol…

🍃 One Hundredth Kiss

Sooner Could’ve Come Later, Honestly || WC: 900~

“Are you sure that you want to do this?” Kenma asks you for what feels like the tenth time in less than half as many minutes. “Because if you’re having second thoughts…”

“I’m fine,” you assure him, “but if you’re having second thoughts…”

He sighs, long and loud, as he fiddles with the headset in his hands. He adjusts a few things before slipping the device onto your head with surprisingly gentle hands. He has you say a few words into the attached mic, looking at something on one of the screens in his bank of monitors to make sure the levels are where they need to be, nodding when one of his crew gives him the thumbs-up.

“No, Kuroo’s right. They’re gonna figure out who you are sooner or later, so we might as well do things on our own terms,” comes his very delayed response, his flat voice giving away nothing as usual. Even so you know him far too well to believe in his supposed aplomb; he’s definitely rethinking things, but unfortunately there’s little else for it.

And so you nod and smile as you tell him, “Right. Well then I guess it’s settled. Let’s do this.”

“Mm.”

Though you’re both putting on a brave face, neither of you can deny that the thought of introducing you to the 8.2 million people that make up Kenma’s—or Applepi’s, as the lot of them know him—fan base is terrifying. Given how private he is, there’s a good chance that you could’ve flown under the radar for a little while longer, possibly even indefinitely, but all it took was a few fans that existed in The Oven (you’ll never be over that fandom name, honestly)-volleyball cross-section to put an end to that.

It seems to hold true that no good deed goes unpunished, because had the pair of you not gone to support your friends at that damned game no one would have even know that you existed. With it being the fucking Olympics, you had thought that nobody would really notice or care about you kicking around together, but lo and behold not even a full forty-eight hours later and a grip of pictures have surfaced to leave the forum’s gossip mills running amok with theories.

(Your personal favorites are the ones that claim that you cannot possibly be his significant other because your perceived gender does not match up with what they know to be his sexuality and preferences. The internet is a lovely place, truly.)

In the time since all of his socials have been overrun with questions about exactly who you are to him—despite the fact that they way he’d been smiling at you in several of the pictures made it extremely obvious, in your opinion—and while the pair of you would’ve loved to ignore it all, you knew it was only a matter of time before someone identified you. And so you and Kenma had set down with his manager and PR team to figure out the best way to go about things.

Given his laid back nature, it was decided that the announcement shouldn’t be overly grand, but at the same time it couldn’t be too understated either, thus the livestream you’re just moments away from starting. It is to be a Q-and-A type deal, with the pair of you answering questions about yourselves, your relationship, and anything else they care to ask while duking it out in Jackbox games with those lucky viewers who’re able to land a spot in your lobby.

While you continue to hype yourself up, Mori—Kenma’s right hand and favored moderator—sits at her station waiting for the go ahead to go live, and you find yourself overly grateful for her presence. She’s made a reputation for herself as being a benevolent mod so long as you respect the host, his guests, and the community guidelines. She’s got free rein to use the ban button at her shrewd discretion, and has no compunctions about exercising that right, so you know that the minute people start to get out of pocket she’ll shut shit down. The rest of her small team is of the same mind, so at least you won’t have to worry about dealing with too much hate, if you receive any at all (not that you’re expecting things to go that smoothly, this is still the internet you’re dealing with, after all).

“Last call,” the woman tells you, her cursor hovering over that deceptively simple little button.

Your man looks at you with an arched brow, taking in your twitchy smile with appraising eyes. You know there’s no point in trying to hide how nervous you are, so instead you try to project your determination to push through it. However things go down, you know it’s not going to be the end of things, of you, and that’s what really matters once all is said and done.

Your resolve must shine through because after just a few moments Kenma nods a bit before putting on his own headset. He gets ready to adjust the attached mic before thinking better of it and pushing the thing up towards his forehead. Before you can question him yours is getting the same treatment and then he’s kissing you. It’s a chaste thing, little more than a brushing of his lips against yours, really, but the small bit of contact is heartening nonetheless. Ignoring the coos that the brief display of affection garners, you both set your mics back to rights before straightening in your seats.

“Ready?” Mori prompts again, encouraging smile firmly in place.

Your hands find one another as you both nod. “Yeah.”

A/n: Things go well for the most part. Naturally there are a few rude people in the batch, but between Mori’s ban hammer and Kenma’s sassy savagery folk figure out that it’s best to keep that type of shit to themselves fairly quickly. By the end of it the fanbase kinda falls in love with you, ngl (they love how soft you are for each other, and how their lil pudding head smiles and laughs more with you there), and they beg Kenma to have you back on more often. He starts at a hard ‘NO’, but eventually gets worn down to a ‘Maybe once a month if they want to do it, and you guys are good’ lol… ((but ofc if you want to be on more often he’s okay with that, honestly—your comfort is all that he’s really concerned with)) Also his fans call themselves Pie Slices, sorry I don’t make the rules except yes I do lmao.

🍃 Forever Kiss

You’re the One (Yeah, Yeah) || WC: 500~

“Come on, be a turtle—please, please, please be a turtle! If I get one more fucking bass I’m gonna scream, I swear…”

Kenma can’t help but to laugh at you fevered mutterings. You’ve been trying to catch a snapping turtle since April of last year, with your attempts only growing more and more desperate with each passing week. And now with the window for capturing the creature all but closed, well…

If he had to wait yet another year to complete his collection he’d be a bit frantic too.

When the little ‘Wah-hoo!’ and victory music combo sounds a second later he doesn’t even have to ask if you’ve gotten your prize. The whoop you let out is just this side of a true yell, and the little wiggle dance that accompanies it is almost too cute for his heart to handle. You’re all smiles as bop your way over to him to you shove your Switch in his face.

“Babe! Lookit! I finally got ‘em!!”

“Good for you,” he says, smile indulgent as he looks over your avatar’s beaming face and the reptile it proudly brandishes. “It only took you what? Like a year and a half to get it.”

The playful jab leaves you rolling your eyes as you flop down next to him. “Whatever. Not everybody gets paid to play video games, ya know. Some of us have to work and sleep and at least attempt to function like actual adults.”

“Mm, true. Couldn’t be me though.”

“Clearly, Mister C-E-friggin’-O…”

The banter is as familiar as anything in your relationship, the quips repeated refrains that leave something warm settling in his chest just as readily as you tuck yourself into his side. As he watches you proudly march your catch to Fūta, listening to the owl prattle off his ‘facts’ about the beast with a content if sleepy little smile on your face, that same warmth blossoms and spreads until the whole of him is consumed by it.

They’re the one.

The thought isn’t any great revelation—like he’d told you in his childhood room all those years ago, it’s always been you—but moments like these are just further confirmation of what he already knows.

“I love you,” he tells you, his arm pulling you in deeper to his embrace, “you know that right?”

You shoot him a quick smile before dropping your eyes back to the screen. “Mm, yeah, of course, baby. And I love you too. A lot. Like a lot a lot.”

“Yeah?”

That’s enough to garner the whole of your attention. You sit up just enough to cuddle your lips against the curve of his cheek in the sweetest approximation of a kiss. More of the little ministrations are peppered over the breadth of his face until finally, finally your mouth is hovering over his. This close he can feel the curl of your smile, the moist pant of your breath, and the formation of the word that precedes the kiss he so desperately craves–

“Yeah…”

A/n: So I’ve never actually played an Animal Crossing game as all of the Nintendo consoles I’ve owned were old handhelds (never made it past the Advance). Everything here was based off of wiki articles and YT vids, so if anything was off blame that lol…

How do you think Moonjo and Jongwoo were in their respective childhoods/teenage years?

oh oh i think about this so much jasldkfjlaksjdflkj

i'll start with moonjo, because his backstory eludes us all and we've been teased with bits and pieces of it for a while. it went around on here (from a twitter post i think?) that moonjo was abused by his parents and wound up killing them before going to the orphanage. idk how true this was bc i didn't get the chance to do my own research, but i can definitely see it being a thing. that being said, 99 percent of my theorizing on his childhood runs on this little tidbit of information, so take that with a grain of salt.

said information legitimately makes me wonder what kind of person moonjo was before that abuse had led to him killing. psychopathy is a diagnosable disorder, and some kids really are just born that way. It's a spectrum disorder that can range from general antisocial behavior/lack of empathy all the way to committing criminal actions without remorse. i did a lot of poking around online about psychopathy as a diagnosis, and traits like 'superficial charm' and 'pathological lying' popped up on more than a few of them. but i'm rambling.

whether or not moonjo was born a psychopath or became one as a result of the abuse he suffered in his younger childhood years, it's worth noting that there's some evidence that it can be inherited. either way, he started out in a home where people thought trouncing on him for being smaller was an okay thing to do. whether or not he plotted their deaths or just snapped and killed his parents one day is obviously up for debate under the current background we have, but it's safe to say that he was never ever your 'average kid' growing up.

did he question what he was going through? or did he simply perceive it as a situation he needed out of? did he start out as the kid who sat in the fetal position in his room and cried until he'd had enough? or was he cold and calculating about it?

i don't want to say i genuinely believe any one thing about a younger moonjo, because my headcanons (especially with this show) tend to grow and change as i learn more. but i do think moonjo always had some level of charm to him. he's a brilliant actor as we see in the show, playing the role of a completely innocent dentist, a fellow resident at eden, a man willing to help out a friend (paying the settlement for jongwoo), and even making jongwoo believe for a split second that he wasn't aware of what the twins were lugging when they were carrying that bag out.

hell, he might have even played his parents a little before he up and killed them. even further, i feel like he probably charmed his way right into the orphanage. ms. um has been said to have done 'community service', so maybe she met moonjo while his parents were still alive and he appealed to her. that being said, she could have also given him the nudge in the right direction to kill his parents.

who knows? in any case, i feel like as a kid, moonjo was just as smart and quick-thinking as he is as an adult. he didn't do anything without purpose, and he knew at least in general what he was going to get by taking action on any given thing. i feel like he's always been a good planner and he's always been a good actor, and charmed his way clear up into being the friendly dentist who just so happens to be a serial killer in secret.

now, jongwoo!

i am forever bitter that we don't get much background on how jongwoo's mother and brother are, or what happened to his father. i do know for certain that they all grew up poor, and as financial standing is super important to social status in south korea, this was relevant to how things went in the show. you see it when jongwoo becomes bitter with jaeho for mentioning him living in a residence all the time, and for how he is just generally treated worse by others because of how broke he is. classism i think holds an important role in sfh in general, because nobody bats an eye at the people living in the residence until junghwa gets involved.

I don't think jongwoo was ever quite at moonjo's level. i don't know enough about psychopathy to say whether or not he's one, but he definitely has tendencies. i.e. saying outright that he'd planned on tracking sergeant cho down after getting discharged from the military, straight up threatening to kill people both in his head and out loud.

i think as a kid he was probably seen as more temperamental, but i also think that it wasn't like in the way that he was always just trying to cause trouble so much as it was his distaste for bad situations. like people picking on him or his brother, or people joking about how his mom works for pennies at a fish market. jongwoo doesn't start swinging until someone gives him a reason to, but he often comes home from school with bruises and a scolding from teachers.

jongwoo says something along the lines of 'my brother, who brings me down' when he's recalling everything that led up to his time in the eden residence, but i don't think that was meant in a loathing manner. his brother is disabled (though a seizure is the only thing they mention at least in the show), so extra care has always been provided to him. their mother (in the absence of their father, for whatever reason) tried to take care of them both to the best of their ability, and it's obvious that jongwoo loves his mother, because he starts crying when she calls to check up on him at the end of the show and he's willing to help out financially even when he doesn't really have much money. the point i'm getting at here is that he has also probably always been protective of his brother, even if it's for his mother's sake.

that all being said, i think jongwoo has a great deal of volatility. what moonjo saw in him is very real and even if it was all a hallucination and part of jongwoo's novel like has been theorized, that even further implies just how unhinged he is.

so as a kid, i imagine jongwoo to be the quiet type who kept to himself and tended to get annoyed with others, but would lash out if a situation called for it. i think he probably thought about going off on people a lot without actually doing it, but he didn't start trouble just for the sake of doing it. he probably thought what he was doing was the 'right' or 'noble' thing to do, even if he took it too far.

wowie i didn't expect this post to be this long. forgive me lmfao

Hiiiii if you have time could I please request a HC on how bakugou studies and works out? I was down for a few days so I wanted to read about bakugou but there aren't any really. I don't wanna force this on you byyy love you❤️❤️😀

Heyyy, I am super late to seeing this (I’m literally going through hundreds and hundreds of asks right now scouring for prompts and trying to do a little spring cleaning) and I came across this and it makes me so happy to talk about Blasty McGonnaHaveAStroke that I just really wanted to answer it - I hope that’s okay!

My perception of Bakugou Katsuki is ever changing because he’s developing so quickly in so many different areas of his personality (honestly, such a well written character, I’m really enjoying watching him morph and grow over the past few seasons) and I feel like I grow to know him more and more with each fic / drabble I write where I can really delve into his mannerisms and way of being and so I have a lot of ideas for these little nuances in particular!

Studying:

We all know that Bakugou is high key suffering from Former Gifted-Child Syndrome (or whatever the popular term for it is on this site). He’s naturally talented and intelligent - but he’s also incredibly hard working, especially once he’s come to the realization that he’s become a Former Gifted-Child.

There’s a quote I saw circulating a while ago from Bakugou, something about “I came to this school not to find out what I can do, but to find out what I can’t do.” or something similar to that sentiment. Because Bakugou is already perceptive and smart, he recognizes all of the things he can do and all of the things he’s good at, what he needs to learn is how to better handle the things that he’s not good at and how he can work on himself to barrel forward on his path to become the best.

So I think that even though Bakugou is already smart and doesn’t have any trouble keeping one of the top spots in his entire class, I feel like he would also spend a good portion of his free time studying and doing homework. It’s one thing to be intelligent, but to keep such a high position like the 3rd spot or whatever he is, that means that he’s completing and handing in assignments regularly, receiving top marks in most likely all of his classes, and that requires a certain level of dedication.

But again, he’s also already highly intelligent. So he probably gets bored really easily. (I know I’ve mentioned it before but it’s kind of one of my favorite ‘little obscure details’ to note that there are several panels where Bakugou is depicted as not fully paying attention during lessons - gazing out the window or playing with his pencil and even closing his eyes and completely tuning Present Mic out with the internal monologue that English was super boring or something like that).

This is all a long-winded way to back up the fact that I feel like his notes would be quick and sloppy and probably wouldn’t have a lot of context clues so someone like Kirishima just reading over his notes probably wouldn’t understand half of the concepts just because they’re things Bakugou already knows so he didn’t deem them important enough to write down.

Someone else posted a bunch of screenshots of Bakugou Katsuki’s actual notebook or something (fuck, I wish I could find the original post but it’s lost in time and space at this point), and his handwriting isn’t messy per-say but I definitely imagine that they were just lazy, bored strokes maybe pressed down with a little more force than is actually needed, and if he wants to highlight something important to remember later, he probably does that thing where he circles it multiple times or boldly underlines and things like that instead of actually using any highlighters or colored tabs like Midoriya probably uses!

Working Out:

You know, I feel like not a lot of attention gets brought to how Bakugou would work out! Like, in all the fics where they mention him working out or whatever, he’s usually just sparring with someone or they mention that he’s pumping iron (lifting weights), but that’s about as in depth as it goes.

I spend too much of my time at the gym and personally I believe that Bakugou is that one dude that I would constantly pick on for “always skipping leg day” - in the fact that he probably focuses very heavily on core work outs and arms/shoulders, since those are the muscles that are most directly impacted by his quirk!

He probably does a ton of crunches, pull-ups, free weights, push-ups; anything that works his triceps, biceps, abs, core balance, etc. He also probably runs /A LOT/ because he isn’t too bulky, he’s actually got a very slender build considering the muscle mass he carries in his upper half, which means that he’s running cardio on the DAILY. If I were a gambling woman, I’d put money on the treadmill, the stepper, and a jump rope being his most important pieces of equipment for cardio training.

We also have to take into account his dietary habits. Like I said before, this boy is incredibly slender for someone with such broad shoulders and who carries a lot of his muscle mass in his shoulders/back, and it’s commonly accepted at this point that Bakugou is a good chef (judging by the way his parents made him take music lessons growing up, I can assume that it was probably their idea as well for him to learn how to cook - whether that be through cooking classes or home-taught, it doesn’t really matter).

Mitsuki and Masaru are also canonly involved in the fashion industry - and we all know how, ahm... flawed the views in the fashion industry can be depending on location, culture, and societal beauty standards.

Katsuki probably has an immaculate diet. Protein, carbs, fresh fruit, calcium; he probably has a perfectly balanced palate and I can only ever dream cause ya girl just has sushi and LUNCHABLES as my only meal of the day today so, yaknow...

ANYWAYS.

All of that into consideration, I headcanon that Bakugou probably has a rotating shift for his work outs; cardio every day for ~30 minutes (most likely a warm up with the jump ropes or a jog/sprint alternating between low intensity and high intensity settings on the treadmill or stair stepper), then he probably has a circuit. So say for arms, he’d probably use free weights (curls, pumps, etc), then pull-ups/push-ups, I could see him throwing in some shoulder stretches and a very light yoga routine to help keep himself flexible and adaptive.

I totally see him as a man to get hooked on focusing solely on arms/shoulders because it’s very easy to see improvement and quick results, plus the after swell of muscles when you’ve done a proper workout is like the world’s most authentic confidence boost you can ever experience, and I could picture Bakugou being addicted to a feeling like that.

However, as previously mentioned, he’s incredibly intelligent and perceptive, and he’s just kind of a no-bullshit, no-excuses kind of guy? He might WANT to just do arms/shoulders for the rest of eternity, but he knows that won’t make him GREAT, so he forces himself to cycle. Arms/shoulders, Core, Legs, Exclusive Yoga, repeat - all with cardio warm-ups and cool-downs.

I’d gander that on top of his school work and course studies, he’d have to keep his gym time somewhere between 2-3 hours daily, but he probably only realistically hits the gym about 2-3 times a week at most, since all of their other training exercises and other hero activities no doubt work his entire body, and with such a strenuous, active lifestyle, there wouldn’t be much need for him to go any more than that unless he really wanted to aggressively bulk up or something crazy, but with his body type he’ll most likely fill out naturally as well (another thing that’ll come all on its own that he won’t even have to work for; lucky fucking bastard).

Okay, I’ll shut up now about it :D Hope that was somewhat entertaining to read? Are headcanons fun to read about? They must be if people are asking but I always get so nervous like, dude literally nobody cares that you psychoanalyzed Bakugou Katsuki to the point where you’ve probably got his entire work week mapped out, and you know what?

You right - lmfao!

#ahxbabxha #wow this is much longer than I expected it to be #and it's so so late ahaha #this ask is so old #but uuuh #anyway #bakugou katsuki #bakugo katsuki #bakugou katsuki headcanons #bnha #my hero academia #asks

Hello! Could I get a madcom matchup :)?

My pronouns r he/they, I'm 5'4 nd I have sort of wavy hair that reaches my mid back, I have like really bad lazy posture too lol.

I'm pretty friendly nd open to befriending anyone, although I do tend to talk alot which may end up getting annoying fast. My temper can be pretty bad, I get angry pretty quickly but I try to keep it chill for the most part lolz, I'm an emotionally energetic person but a physically lazy person if that makes sense? I love lounging around nd hanging out with ppl. Despite being physically lazy I know how to fight really well I think, I took karate classes nd i ALMOST got my black belt but i quit bc i hated taking the classes LMFAO. I'm a very touchy person...I like being able to wrap my arm around someone, playfully jab someone, etc etc I luv receiving physical touch too like having my hair played with nd shizz. I don't consider myself all too smart lol.

I'm pretty artistic, I love drawing shiz. I esp love drawing things for my friends XPP. I like playing video games too although I'm not good at them at all lol. I love loud boppy music, I also really really love cats.

Soz I hope thats not too much X""O thanx u I hope u have a good daaayyyyy :))

ooo this is a good one !! thank you v much for the request anon this is gonna be fun

also just a note for anyone who sends a matchup for mc into my inbox in the future please specify if you're okay with being paired up with any character or just the main 3/4, thank you !! makes it much easier on me lol

i match you wiiiiiiith...

2BDamned!

- you met 2BD when you were about to die, aka this unqualified doctor saved your life. not sure how he did it, but he did and you're very grateful

- he said he wanted to keep you around for recovery, but in reality he knew you would be fine and he just wanted you to stay ;}

- he's very literally the only person who cares about your posture but you try your best to listen to his nagging and take his advice

- you both talk. a lot. even though his can be more of a lecture or a rant about somebody else, you still like listening to him dig a deeper verbal hole for himself

- and whenever you decide to go into a spiral of words, he'll listen silently and he would HATE to admit it to you but he loves the sound of your voice and he thinks it's cute when you talk to yourself

- he's very protective of you so even though you know how to fight, he keeps you back with him in a truck or behind a building somewhere. buuuut there have been a few times where an agent would find the two of you there and you would absolutely destroy them

- 2BD is not really the kind to give physical affection, but if it's from you he LOVES receiving it. again he would hate to admit it around anyone but you make him feel really happy

- sometimes when he's in an especially good mood he'll let you lay your head in his lap and he'll do your hair or just play with it. if anybody else says anything about it though (cough cough, Deimos) they are so dead

- other times when he's feeling really bad about himself or he's feeling down you'll hold out your arms to him and he'll just hug you. for a very long time. same situation goes for when you're feeling bad

- 2BD is good at art as well so sometimes you'll be drawing something and he will make it his goal to draw it too, but better. it becomes a competition and nobody knows who ends up winning because nobody else answers the question "who's drawing is better" and you can't ever decide between the two of you

- he also has the same music taste as you do so if you're on your own listening to music and he comes in, sometimes he'll ask to sit with you and listen as well. you'll sit there for a really long time just in each other's presence and it's awesome.

- when he finally admits that he loves you it'll be during a rant of his and he'll go down the hole of everything he likes about you and you'll just sit there listening with a huge, goofy smile on your face.

- "...and they have the best smile and they always make me feel so happy and i love him a lot but i have NO IDEA how to tell him because i'm a coward."

- "...you love me?"

- "wAIT YOU WERE HERE THE WHOLE TIME-"

please that ending popped into my head last minute but it's so funny

aaaanyways i hope this was the kind of thing you were looking for, thanks for the request my friend !!

I noticed that other artist/writers/whatever all headcanon Gordon as a soft boy n all that crap, but you... Your Gordon sounds like if someone took Freemind, threw him in a dishwasher for 3 days and that changed his superiority complex into anxiety and his brain turned into jello. And he doesn't say slurs anymore. Anyway this was my weird way to say that your Gordon characterization is very unique in a way and I love it. My final message, Goodbye.

AWW hell thank u........i like that description a lot LMFAO i just.....i take what i see in canon and stretch some of it. some bits more than others

like.......straight up, he is a bitch. gordon “hlvrai” freeman is a bitch. he is a jerk literally from the moment he hops into the game! before the res cas even happens! lots of people like to be like “you cant just make him angry.....hes not angry hes just stressed out ):” but this is not true. hes not, like, yelling-angry, but he is just mean for no fucking reason a lot of the time. and hes very, very pathetic too. hes kind of like......moe thru helplessness......he strikes me as a very high-strung person that has no idea what hes doing, like, ever. hes got a Woke Boy complex but he kind of falls into that common internet pitfall of “believing that having the right beliefs makes him a good person even though he is a fucking asshole”. he thinks that he is a smart guy and knows better than the others even though he is like.......he is remarkably stupid in other ways. very selective intelligence. prime example that having an advanced degree does not actually mean you are smarter than others by default

so like i dont really understand the softboy thing a lot of the time. i think people kind of watch this series and just project whatever traits they want onto these characters even if it is fully at odds with what we actually see. (i do this too sometimes. gordon is anxious and stressed out canonically but the neuroticism that i give him is, admittedly, a stretch.) he is a lot more like the freemans mind gordon than i think most people want to admit. but like. seriously. watch the series again. this gordon freeman is not very nice. frankly, i think the rare moments in which gordon gets over himself and just acts like a nice guy are all the more potent because hes a jerk most of the time! this dude sucks!!! he is an average mcfucking nobody with no friends (again, because he is kind of an asshole and he really likes putting people down and making fun of them) and cringe interests and, somehow, benrey took a look at all of that and said “yeah i would fuck that” anyway. gordon really, really does not know how good he has it

also, you know. repression is cool! i think the way he treats benrey in the first 3-3.5 acts smacks of some deep fucking repression. “ohhh i hate benrey oh i wish he would just leave me alone.........oh shit benrey left me alone. wheres benrey? is he lost? i wonder what benreys doing right now. hey guys wouldnt it be crazy if benrey were here right now” WHO are you trying to FOOL. everyone in the science crew is like 2 seconds away from telling him to shut the fuck up about his obvious crush but hes still trying to convince himself that he hates benrey even when hes giggling like a fucking schoolgirl at the guy. god. i hate him. i love him but i hate him

this is a lot of words that ultimately boil down to......thank u. i like making gordon freeman worse. most of these words werent directly relevant but i do be thinking them

Episode 13: “What a depressing trip to Las Vegas” - Jaiden

I just have one thing to say.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! It worked! I didn't expect Joey to vote with us. I feel bad about that, but hey, we couldn't see him being sincere. If he told us who the others were voting for, then maybe we would have changed votes. Jaiden was open to it already. Kailyn is probably the one who voted with John for Liv. Maybe she thought he would play and idol or maybe jury management. Anyway, she should have told us.

youtube

Joey got voted out. Which was not supposed to happen this round. Pat and Jeff are just so naive and easily to manipulate. I’m sure they could be convinced to self vote without any real effort. I don’t even want to bother working with them moving forward because of it. But I might have to. I can’t let grudges get in the way of getting to the end game. Honestly at this point I’d be happy going to F3 with Liv and Kailyn. Xavier is too nice. Jaiden is too... out there? Love him, but I don’t want to sit next to him at the end. And Pat and Jeff i just don’t think they deserve to make it that far

I still can’t believe tribal tonight was real. It’s been like six hours and I’m still in shock that Joey finally went home. Like... what??? I’ve been dealing with that dude for three weeks and I’ve held his little secret in until it finally came of use to me, and... now I’m in the final seven. The game has NOT been won yet and while I feel like cheering and celebrating, I need to maintain my focus and center myself as the game is nowhere close to being over yet. We’ve still got at least four tribals to go, but after tonight I might be able to say that I’m exactly halfway through the merge (assuming it’s a final three... dear god please be a final three). Top eight was a really hard mountain to climb and once I lost immunity I felt a little out of touch with what was gonna happen next. I really felt like my time was going to come, and I’m so thankful that it wasn’t. Tbh Kailyn might’ve gone home today had Jeff not told me about a Palazzo chat still being alive and well. I don’t know how I’m gonna turn this bad situation around again but I need to convince Keegan and Livingston to work with me, Kailyn, and Xavier. It is critical now that Jeff or Pat go home because one of them is going to win. Before Joey left, he told me that there is a rumor that Jeff or Pat have an idol nullifier. While a nullifier won’t affect me right now, it’s not something that I want to see in the game going forward period and I want to use that little piece of information to my benefit and finally get rid of Pat. I’ve been saying for SO LONG that we need to get rid of Pat and now the time is ticking down. He has to go as soon as possible, fuck whatever Jeff says. Tbh I want to fly into the final six with no votes cast against me, still. I wonder if I can get Jeff and Pat to target like Keegan or Livingston and I really just need Xavier or Kaitlyn to bring up Pat’s name first before Jeff.. I doubt they have the smarts to recognize the danger that they pose, but we will see... Keegan is DEFINITELY pissed off at me now too. I made the mistake of telling him that I was “a little annoyed” about how tribal went, which was such a dumb thing to say bc tribal went exactly how I wanted it to. I’m playing off the fact that Kailyn must’ve known abt Joey voting for Livingston because her name was on the chopping block too so that’s why it went 4-2-2 rather than 5-2-1 like it was supposed to. I don’t want anybody to know that I was playing for Joey’s advantage which I’m sure people think I have right now lmfao... Anyways really I need to just make Keegan NOT hate me because he’s still part of my plan long term (I think)... he’s really smart tho and I’m not counting him out to win the whole thing but he hasn’t really done much of anything whereas people like Jeff and Pat and Xavier have kinda done a lot... If Keegan isn’t prepared to be fully loyal to me til the end then there’s nothing I can say to him except adios. All I really need right now is an immunity run til the end. I hope that the next challenge is something that doesn’t require a lot of skill because I am INCREDIBLY anxious just thinking about a competition, live. I need final seven immunity because then I’m guaranteed top five... the furthest I’ve ever been in Tumblr Survivor by a mile. I’ll break so many of my own personal records with that one single immunity win. In fact, if I make it to final five, that will be the best I’ve literally ever done in a Skype survivor org. I haven’t done that good since April and it’s just really affirming to me that this was the right decision for me to come back to Tumblr. Aside from winning challenges and making more moves, I also have gotta start fixing my bad relationships. Like I mentioned earlier, Keegan seems REALLY pissed off at me for how things went down with him being left out of the vote again. I can only apologize so many times before I am simply unforgivable. Maybe say sorry less and work to do better??? Idfk. But if Jeff or Pat can just say Keegan’s name, I’ll do what I can to prove to him that I’m loyal to HIM and not them. I hope that the Palazzos are falling to pieces now and realize that the only way to the end is to stick by us and nobody else. Jeff was also pretty mad at me for pushing his buttons a lot today. But honestly he was feeding me utter bullshit. I don’t buy that he was my savior and guardian Angel today, protecting me from having my name come up. I should honestly tell Livingston that Jeff sold him out to me not too long after Livingston said my name in their little chat. That would be hilarious. Kailyn and I are pretty close, but it could be better. I think I tend to revert all game-conversations with Xavier, so I don’t consider Kailyn my main ally unfortunately. If I want to go to the final three with her and Xavier, I need to really work on building that GAME relationship up because as a person I think we vibe well but it’s gonna come down to a couple factors and if she *has* to be sacrificed for me to get further, I can’t do anything but let it happen unfortunately.. As I just said, Xavier is kind of my main strategic ally right now which is super weird to say. He has definitely stepped it up A LOT in the strategic department and I have a lot of respect for him just as a person and I want to try and pick his brain a little bit more. The only thing with Xavier is that he seems to be playing really “safe” right now - I think had the opportunity presented itself to vote for Jeff with Joey, Xavier wouldn’t have gone for it and would’ve wanted to stick strong with voting Livingston instead. Which I totally get, but this game right now kinda requires we make bolder decisions than just what kinda didn’t work last time, you know? Okay now for Pat - god our relationship is just so weird. I have virtually not ties to Pat except the one alliance with Jeff and I feel like Jeff wants to control Pat rather than let Pat be his own player. It’s weird. I wonder if Pat would be down to vote out Jeff but fuck it’s gonna be hard to pull that off. I don’t want to hold off on Pat BECAUSE if I can’t get him out next, I will need him at final six and hopefully final five to serve as a sacrificial lamb or something. I’m wondering now if maybe Livingston needs to go because people are gonna always view Pat as a huge threat to win, even though he might not necessarily do so if he gets there. Livingston... yeah I really don’t like Livingston lmfao. I think it’s because of his super close connection to Rachael but it might also be because he is like, cool and nerdy and a bit of a try hard “around camp” so to speak. What REALLY gets on my nerves about Livingston is that he possesses zero of the charisma to convince me that he sucks at this game but enough social finesse to make me think that he’s actually gonna win if he gets to the end. He’s like, that cool dork everybody was friends with in high school. Even though parts of his game have been lackluster as fuck, he’s still a massive threat to win and I might just need to kick him off to the jury as soon as possible. :) And finally... me! I’m gonna try hard to be unbiased and self-aware but it’s so difficult to do that bc I genuinely don’t know how ppl are perceiving me this time.. I THINK it’s mostly positive but tonight was definitely one of my most negative episodes bc of how stressful I was being before tribal. Just ask Jeff. I think I’m definitely succeeding in getting votes to go my way and I have had a LOT of things go right for me since the merge. From Stephanie leaving right when I needed her to, to the double removal, to the super idol coming out and getting rid of Joey... It’s been so good so far. BUT I’m not being subtle about it. Subtlety is not a strength of mine that’s for sure.. I think I succeeded in being “subtle” about the Steph thing bc I was not making it overly obvious I wanted her out but otherwise I’ve been very clearly controlling other decisions and how certain votes went. Leaving two people I don’t trust in the game (Pat/Jeff) is tough but at least I worked with them on something, right? Joey was telling me so much that he was gonna lose to me and I think he was right. Now Jeff is saying that he’s probably going to lose if we’re in the end, but he doesn’t want to vote me out. Do I trust that? Not really... But fuck, I don’t even know anymore!!! I think if the game was over right now, I’m going to be grilled to DEATH for being fake as hell to Joey. I think that’s gonna come back to bite me so I need to start talking POSITIVELY about Joey to EVERYBODY. Read him for game, not for personal reasons. And maybe I’ll even talk his game up going forward just so that the person who goes into jury at least relays that I made a “good move” voting for Joey to leave (even tho I didn’t vote for Joey hehe). I wonder if people think I’m just playing tjem as pawns and not as real people.. bc these are definitely real people we are playing with here and I recognize that, but honestly in my mind nobody here wants this as badly as me. If that makes me the villain, I’m fine being the villain. But I’m not a human being that will ever play this game with a passion to play humanely. I want to win so badly. I’m going crazy in my own head, the wheels turning in hyperspeed. I’ve never been hungrier for something like I am for this win... I can hold out another year in this environment if I have to. I can and I will 🤠

Darn third world slow internet connection! Anyway, it made others look like challenge threats more than me, so hopefully that gets me through more rounds if they think other people can win more :)

That was a very stressful and very tense immunity challenge. Jeff was the clear front runner for the first five rounds, being the first person to advance in all of them. He’s a quick typer which made me very worried I wouldn’t be able to pull off a win. However, the last round was “Name That Song” and with the help of Siri, I snagged the immunity necklace! Final 6 here I come! This round presents me with an interesting dilemma. Since I have immunity I can be a little more ballsy. So I could throw Jeff or Pat under the bus, try to sway Jaiden, Kailyn and Xavier to vote one of them out. Or I can stick with the OG Palazzo group that is saying (for the fifth time I might add) that they want to stick together. That hasn’t worked out at all yet this merge and we’ve voted 4 people out. Pat and Jeff seem pretty interested in targeting Xavier for being a social threat which I don’t disagree with. But Jaiden is a very strong player. This is one of those rounds where I’m insanely grateful to have immunity because there’s also a bunch of advantages out there. I know Livingston has a regular idol now. But there’s vote steals and extra votes and idol nullifiers out there somewhere and that’s so nerve-wracking. Also, Jaiden mentioned to me that this is the last round for a lot of those advantages and I just don’t think I buy that. Final 7 is a weird place for that. Regardless, I’m fully expecting this to be a wild and crazy tribal tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what happens because I get to sit there looking pretty with my new bling. Xoxo Gossip Girl

I am terrified of tribal today and I have a bunch of different ideas in my head but I just want to survive. Kind of where I am at is I feel like I am getting 7th no matter what because I have never tasted top 6 in an ORG. I could play an idol here at 7, waste it, and then just get fucked at 6. One thing I thought about was "finding" the idol part of the way through tomorrow and then letting OG Palazzo know to build trust. The only issue with this is that the idol nullifier is in play. It could still be on the board. It was on the board when I got my auction advantage. But if it isn't, and Pat and Jeff turn on me, I could be fucked idol or no idol if the nullifier is played. I suppose that Pat and Jeff have both never voted me as far as I can tell, unless I have miscalculated one of the vote counts for the past 2 tribals. Maybe it'd be safer to hold onto the idol quietly and just hope I don't leave with it in my pocket. This is so stressful because if I leave with it in my pocket, I look like an idiot that had the luck to get two advantages but couldn't traverse the game much past that.

Okay so, Jeff is my closest ally at this point. Voting out Joey was our move and I am very happy we did. I don’t express the anger that I’m feeling and I think that helps keep my relationships good with people. I think I’m good with Livingston and Keegan and also Jaiden and Kailyn. I was Xavier out this round but I feel like something is going to happen. No one knows I have an idol which is amazing and I hope I don’t have to use it til final 5 and I have immunity and can play it on someone else for the fun of it. I can’t believe I made final 7 and am actually kicking up playing the game by voting correctly on Joey. I think so far I have 2 of the 4 votes at final tribal council, Andrew and Steph. I think I have a road there, I just hope I make the right decision because I’m still in I a weird phase of the game and anything can happen.

This tribal feels very weird. Jaiden is insisting he hasn’t heard anything at all about the vote. Which I find very strange considering he’s basically been running things most of this merge. Why would suddenly no one tell him anything? Especially Kailyn and Xavier. Seems like those three are fairly open with each other. I could not be more happy to have immunity this round. No matter what happens, I am safe and have not a thing to worry about. I really really hope that Pat and Jeff are being honest and actually voting for Xavier like they say they are. If they’re flipping and voting for Livingston.... I don’t even want to imagine that. But I’m getting some sketchy vibes. Fingers crossed it’s just me being paranoid, though any time I say that something unexpected happens.

Ok I'm calling it, I'm going home tonight ! Literally nobody is telling me anything and it's really quite pathetic to see Keegan, who says we're super cool and good friends and will be friends once this is all over, win immunity and then not make a single attempt to pick me up and flip me to his side. Unless he's so confident that the Palazzo four will stick loyal to the very end... which they probably will, but Jeff is gonna beat all of them in the end and I think they see me as a big threat or something LOL I guess it's good gameplay for them but I hate it either way. I don't really have a lot to say bc now I just feel dumb. I wish I had an idol, but of course, I do not. Anyways, I'm going to have to stick with the fact that people are voting for Xavier tonight and hope my name doesn't come up at all. I'm going to lie and tell Xavier that I'm certain its me or Kailyn tonight and hope he holds an idol if he has it... or plays it on me heh. We'll see though... What a depressing trip to Las Vegas if it ends like this.

- id recognise her in a split second tbfh, she aint subtle

- *heterosexual tension*

- merlins skin be looking so smooth this episode, this boy be wearing lots of Dove

- he looked so excited to be in the banquet, then arthur just fucking slashes him with “not quite” and his hopes and dreams are destroyed

- “wanna see what you’ll be wearing tonight?” arthur says as he's behind the fucking changing curtains, about to get undressed and show merlin his birthday suit

- i honest to god thought that was where he was going, but no, he was just getting something from behind it

- “tonight you’ll be wearing the official ceremonial robes of the servants of camelot” IT'S A FUCKING DRESS ISN'T IT

- aw damn id have preferred a dress

- that smile shared between them was the most adorable scene

- god

- i mean… hunty look at that piece of glistening butter beauty

- wow ok back to the episode:

- bros being bros and giving each other a handshake to destroy the mortal enemy pack and put together a family, we stan.

- as if a servant who has only had eye sex with another servant ONCE would trust them enough to say that one of the chalices were poisoned. like??? “ur the only one i could tell” LMAO NO?

- she's a sly fucking dog tfbh

- “if he kills arthur, uthers soul will be broken and camelot will fall” at this rate uther prob wouldn't care if his son dies or not, look at him, he's already mentally broken. he has anxiety and paranoia over magic. child services where u at in the medieval ages?

- i wouldn't believe a word she said, or well, id have believed it was poisoned but id say yeah no damn way you aren't in on it if you know which one it is. bayard wouldn't tell a fucking servant.

- HE'S GONNA SNAP ISN'T HE

- MERLIN FUCKING SNAPPED

- yknow what we say here folks? U DO U MERLIN

- okay i was fine if uther made bayard drink it but like the moment uther said “mmmh… no.” and slowly turned to merlin i think my arteries just crunched together and died so

- “if it is poisoned, he’ll die” HE'S FUCKING SCARED MERLIN WILL PASS AWAY ISN'T HE?

- “it's fine” he says, then starts to fucking choke

- ah fuck he's down

- FUCK ME SIDEWAYS WITH A CHAINSAW

- ARTHUR CROUCHES NEXT TO HIM LIKE “BB NO”

- lmfao bayard looks so shocked, his face is in disbelief and confusion, he's like who tf done me bad

- arthurs carrying merlin fireman style this is what i live for folks

- did like nobody notice the flower stuck on the inside of the cup? like honestly if you take a sip you’d kinda spot it or perhaps even the person pouring the drinks would have been “is this chamomile tea? no? then what the fuckery-doo is this leaf in here for?” yknow. it's like that scene in Matilda when the angry buff lady completely missed a fucking salamander in her cup when it was the size of her bloody hand. it brings out the same mood honestly

- does gaius have an index for these books or does he just have every page memorised and know exactly what page to go bc I FUCKING NEED THAT it would make bio so much easier if i knew what page it was on instead of looking back and forth from the homework sheet to my textbook, then closing it by accident and having to find the index again for that specific page i need

- arthur wants to fucking go on a life-or-death journey to save merlin i've never been so happy

- this is honestly my favourite episode, like it may be really fucking angsty but i love it so much

- arthur betrays his dad and leaves his room even after being told not to just so he can save a servants life is literally my new moto

- NO IT WON'T LOAD MY NETFLIX IS STUCK ON 99%

- okay so while i'm waiting for my shit to load, i just discovered the new fucking tumblr rule starting dec 17 and i'm like 0.2 inches away from just spamming NSFW pics on here just for laughs

- like hunty, that won't stop people from posting elsewhere or for thinking about sex bc like??? whatchu gonna do tumblr?? get the fbi to erase it from our minds

- i think nOT thot

- watch me get flagged for just using the fucking term “NSFW”

- i'm gonna end up asterisking everything (is asterisking a word? wow it has red under it so like probably not but i just added it to my dictionary so uhh it is now)

- by asterisking i dont mean furry kin shit ew no

- i mean like N*FW, s*x, t*mblr, m*rthur

- god it took me like 20 minutes to calibrate my fucking wifi and fix the connection problem

- wow the stage for the poison increased by 75% in 30 mins, damn

- merlins like like having a conniption on his bed lmao, chanting arthurs name and sweating lot

- do we ever find out how uther gets that scar bc i'm like 100% positive arthur was a little child and swayed his fucking sword too hard just as uther rounded the corner. the sword then collided into his fucking brain and destroyed a good part of his intelligence, targeting especially his morals on how to accept people and how to be a good father

- that’s my theory

- merlin starts talking enchantments in his sleep while gwens watching, and gaius is just there like wtf merlin ur blowing ur cover “oh! gwen!! uhhh sorry. he’s just... in a latin study group in his pastime and has an oral presentation in minutes”

- omg, nimueh, stfu

- i didn't know dinosaurs existed back then, this reptile be whack

- y’know what's funny? ppl thinking dinosaurs didn’t exist. i find creationism very very very intriguing bc how fucking stupid could you be

- that sword throw was faker than my moms tits

- arthur could have done better

- k but like what if merlin’s hand wasn’t under the covers? like he was just throwing that blue ball around right in front of gwen

- can arthur like not hear her? nimuehs literally enchanting the rocks right behind his ear lobes and arthur acts nothing of it until those said rocks collapse and he gasps and suddenly he realises shes evil

- also his fucking hair in this scene looks glorious. perhaps bc it's pushed back rather than his bowl cut, but its doing things to my abdomen

- i thought for a second she was pulling off her mask to say “nimueh” and arthur was gasping bc he only recognised her after her hair was shown, just like in that scene with joker and harvey in the hospital

- OH RIGHT THE SPIDERS I LIKE COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THOSE SONS OF A GUNS

- i’d be dead if those spiders came crawling up to eat me lmfao

- k so nimueh went from :) to >:D in half a second

- i'm smelling up those symbolisms, boys

- watch out pals cause here are some of them:

- merlin is the LIGHT of arthur’s life

- he LIGHTS up the party

- he gives arthur a BRIGHTER future

- he's the GUIDE for his path

- hahhahahaha

- i'm serious when i say i have a huge fear of insects (spiders count in that too, no discrimination) so i'm just putting that there, saying to yall id be fucking terrified

- gaius would be so confused, like we don't see his face here but merlins close-up sweaty concentrated frown, but he’s literally just screaming “ARTHUR!!” “FASTERRR!!” “YESS!!” “CLIMB!!!” gaius would be looking like he walked into something he wasn't supposed to. prob thinking he should just let the kid die so he doesn’t have to deal with this shit anymore

- UTHER LOCKED HIS SON AWAY I'M FUCKING QUESTIONING HIS PARENTING SKILLS

- that's grounding???? throwing ur child in prison???

- yes 999 can i have child services on his ass

- gwens so smart honestly i love her

- pretending to be a maiden for the food, god what a queen

- arthur buying it and saying “yuck you say this is food?! disgustang!”

- the fact that i misspelled disgusting but it autocorrected to disgustang (which is originally what i wanted but autocorrect shouldn’t have known) makes me consider if i should really check my dictionary…. who knows what words are on there

- they’re so smart

- and then this fucker ruins it all while eating his food, checking her out and saying yeah arthurs a prick, hyuck hyuck, realising only that wait fuck u aint the maiden

- how’d they know GWEN was the one not supposed to have delivered the food, what if it was that chick right there???

- welll….. maybe it's because gwen took her sweet time up those steps, staring as if she couldn’t blink at the guards below

- i forget what happens at the end of this episode besides the kiss, and there's like 9 minutes left my fingers may rot at this point

- wake him up! wake him up!

- OH WAIT HE DOESN'T FUCKING WAKE UP DOES HE AND EVERYONE PANICS

- YEAH OKAY I'M SEEING THAT NOW

- MERLIN STOPPED BREATHING

- LMAO GWEN IS IN TEARS

- “HE'S DEAD” SHE SAYS

- ARTHUR BB COME IN HERE TO KISS UR HUBBY ALIVE

- OH WAIT UR IN FUCKING PRISON

- WAIT UP, HE'S ALIVE AND SHE KISSES HIM AFTERWARDS????

- FUCK ME I THOUGHT FOR THE WHOLE EPISODE THE KISS HAPPENED BC HE COULDN'T WAKE UP THAT'S FUCKING WITH ME I DIDN'T KNOW

- i keep forgetting to switch up the cap locks, sorry if it seems im screaming im legit using my inside voice for most of the time just emphasizing my words a little more

- goddamn, everytime they say mercia i just think of “murica”, like those americans on the 7th of july or whatever date the “we love our country” day is, chanting it as they throw around beers and fireworks as people gather round in jerseys or crop tops

- it's not that hard to spot the european on here

- the most celebrated holiday here which contains a lot of beers and big pub gatherings (besides every fucking night honestly) is either new years, lowkey stereotypically correct saint patricks, and ig easter monday but that's more for the kiddos

- i mean ofc christmas and all that shit but im not the most devoted christian, i just like presents and small gatherings among good friends

- wow okay it wasn't the 7th of july

- i mean at first i looked up “USA day” (i couldn’t remember the name) and it popped up today’s date, and i was like no thats not it at all. dec?? its in like july i think. and i was close! it was july 4th.

- uther damn knows it's nimueh!!!

- i mean, he just overheard morgana and arthur talk about it, and initiated himself into a convo about it once morgana left, as his sneaky ass just slithered up like “hey man, u know that woman? yeah uhh, what she say? anything about me? no? k i know who it is tho”

- i thought he was going to apologize or like explain to arthur what's the sitch, but he just waits for five whole seconds before saying. “those who practice magic know only evil. they despise and seek to destroy goodness wherever they find it.”

- arthur, confused: sounds as if you know her

- uther, walking away: i do

- arthur:

- wow k lots of fucking quotes here cause it's the merthur reunion

- get ready babs

- arthur: still alive then?

- merlin: oh yes, just about… i understand i have you to thank for that

- arthur, leaning on the chair merlin is sitting in, stifling a smile: ah it's nothing, a half-decent servant is hard to come by. i was only dropping by to make sure you’re alright… i.... expect you to be back to work tomorrow

- merlin, watching arthur as he slightly walks away having embarrassed himself: arthur... thank you

- arthur, slowly: you too

- they stare for like 5 whole seconds

- arthur, uncomfortable: well… get some rest

- there we go folks: my eulogy.

- hope someone reads it at my funeral

why’d i write this much on this lmfao but i really am confused d.0n’t r.3-bl0.gg

tungle: *talks again about that b.uzzfeed guy that copypastes his stuff*

me: okay but what did he ACTUALLY do because i really hope y'all aren't actually shitting yourselves this hard over some guy reusing assets he presumably drew his own damn self. like i've seen a couple instances of people asking "isn't this the guy who did xyz" but i haven’t seen anybody explain what he did or confirm "yeah that's the guy who did xyz" yet.

like why will no one tell me anything actually bad about him, IS there actually anything or is this one of those things where insecure people will complain about some complete stranger who got luckier than them as if it's somehow said stranger's fault, is it like "oh that dude makes tons of money on buzzfeed just copy pasting things and /i/ can't even get many commissions, let me take it out on him instead of trying to find a way to get more commissioners" <-- i guarantee that multiple people have probably said that first sentence before maybe even word for word (which i know trying to get commissions is easier said than done but... it's not this adam guy's fault, it's not any popular person's fault, i get most of the people saying these kinds of things are mostly or completely joking but you still look like an ass)

or did he do something actually bad like seriously i'm looking around right now and all i'm finding is that he copy pastes things, and also this one rude thing about fighting games using recolored sprites that almost nobody talks about him saying, but even with that all you really need to do is call him out on it once and move the fuck on because it's hardly that bad compared to things that other comic makers have said/done. what'd he do that's ACTUALLY deserving of such widespread mockery. like if we're gonna make mock somebody on such a huge widespread level they better have done something to actually deserve it yknow

and if he did do something genuinely bad then why aren't we getting on him for THAT, this kind of shit happens all the time like with y.anderedev and the c.rewniverse and b.ronies and r.ick and morty fans such where some/many do a lot of actually bad/harmful things and sometimes even just practically spoon feed us real reasons to hate them

but then so many of you focus almost or completely exclusively on stupid harmless shit like "unrealistic game mechanic" (which yeah for somebody who's trying to tout his game as realistic some of the things he does are kind of contradictory to that and stupid, but he's done far worse things plus even games that strive for realism have to sacrifice SOME realism otherwise the game wouldn't be playable. like police in real life don't just completely forget your face if you commit a crime and hide out long enough, and they especially don’t lose track of you if you go and get your car repainted right before their eyes, but they have to do that in gta games otherwise you'd never be able to get anything done because you'd have to run and hide any time you crossed paths with police even if you never do any more crime besides the first instance, which is impossible to do only one crime throughout the whole game anyway because some missions have police chases scripted in, but that’s kind of a tangent i’m going on there. or as an example that's actually in y.andere s.imulator, do you really want to wait there for hours for a.yano to dig a grave in the garden? no.) "animation error" "'cringey' fan-songs" "pickle rick memes"

and meanwhile all sorts of people are completely clueless as to things like y.andev's transmisogyny and homophobia or his perviness with his high-school aged characters and fuck i could go on a while- the dude's nasty, clueless to things like s.u's messages that validate the "a.ntif.ascists are just as bad as f.ascists" crowd, clueless to things like "m.olestia" (ppl haven't talked about stuff like that in a while), i highly doubt anyone's clueless to the whole s.zechuan sauce thing or the Intellectual r&m fans considering those are very recent, but considering all of the previous things i talked about i'd imagine people are gonna stop talking about those soon

also, like, he works at b.uzzfeed. b.uzzfeed isn't remotely any goldmine of original perfect content. so many things on b.uzzfeedvideo or whatever are concepts taken from other y.outubers and such right down to the thumbnail, like, that's actually bad. that's actual theft. to my knowledge this adam dude is just using things that he drew himself. i've seen like maybe two posts ever about b.uzzfeedvideo's copying other people's ideas, i don't get why there was so little over that but then people are completely singling out this guy reusing his own damn things, there has to be more to it than that, right? and i've never seen the people obsessing over adam reusing his stuff say anything about flash puppet animators (which i hope none of you are doing because i can tell you from experience that flash puppets are goddamn annoying to use even if you're only posing out a still image and not an animation, MAKING puppets is even worse, but what i'm saying is that if you think repurposing assets that you drew is bad then it'd be hypocritical to not think flash puppets are bad too)

and like if you can do things to reduce effort while still making good money and the people you work for don't mind you reducing effort then like, I as somebody who has shit executive function finds that pretty smart, i'd love to have a job where i could get paid well even if/when i take shortcuts for spoons' sake. i don't know if he has executive function problems but you understand what i'm saying

i went on a couple of tangents but i'm trying to wrap my head around this, what'd he do i'm serious, and whatever he did if anything how come practically nobody talks about it, it seems like the dude has more backlash for reusing his stuff than that ctrl alt delete guy even got.

What is this Keroro thing you're drawing? :0

Anonymous said: Ooh! What’s Keroro Gunsou??

OKAY OKAY SO

This got really long sorry but

It’s from this series called Sgt Frog/Keroro Gunsou (I refer to it as the latter, since I prefer the sub to the dub)! It’s a series that’s been with me for a very very long time, probably one of the first anime shows I watched back in middle school…it’s like, super important to me and I love it a lot :’)

It’s about these alien frog invaders called the Keroro Platoon! They’re trying to invade Earth (they call it Pekopon) but they absolutely SUCK at it lmfao

So, for our main cast of characters we have:

Keroro: The leader of the platoon! He’s the green one. He’s absolutely useless and prefers to laze around reading manga and spending his army savings on Gundam models rather than fulfilling his mission to invade the planet. He’s sort of a prisoner to the Hinata family, and their youngest child, Fuyuki, is his best friend. Keroro’s come close to succeeding in invasion multiple times, but what usually stops him is either Fuyuki’s terrifying older sister Natsumi, who beats the shit out of him lol, or Fuyuki pulling the friendship card. Keroro literally cannot resist the puppy dog eyes and the guilt trip when Fuyuki pulls it RIPKeroro will literally stop at nothing to protect Fuyuki if he’s in danger, even if it means going against his superiors. That’s how strong their friendship is! While Keroro is terrible and useless most of the time when he gets serious about things he gets shit done. Like. Do not underestimate him, holy shit, because he is WAY more capable than you think. When he gets serious…DAYUM

Fuyuki Hinata: Keroro’s best friend! He’s a human and he’s fascinated with the occult! While he sucks at sports and isn’t physically strong he’s really smart and that’s helped him get out of a lot of sticky situations. He cares about Keroro A LOT and will do anything to make him stay on Earth since Keroro’s his only friend, really ;w; Together the two of them are literally unstoppable, the best team!! Fuyuki’s really kind and soft-hearted, able to melt the hearts of just about anyone. He’s a GOOD BOY AND I LOVE HIM

Natsumi Hinata: Fuyuki’s older sister! She’s pretty, good at sports, and she can cook! Everybody loves her. She does not put up with ANY of Keroro’s shit and doesn’t hesitate to beat him to a pulp if he tries to invade the planet. She is literally the only thing standing in his way to world domination, and she plans to keep it that way. Also, she is probably one of, if not the most kickass character on the show. Do not mess with her, she can beat you down.

Giroro: The red frog! He’s tough, mean and gruff, and he’s the weapons specialist. He is always polishing his guns and knives. He has the BIGGEST crush on Natsumi and calls her a warrior princess lol. He lives in a tent under Natsumi’s window in the Hinata’s backyard, in case he needs to protect her from any sudden enemy attacks. Giroro can’t stand Keroro half the time even though they’re childhood friends. He also can’t do anything except blush and stammer around Natsumi…it’s such an adorable case of puppy love I s2g

Tamama: Tamama’s the dark blue frog! He may look adorable but secretly has a dark side and you do NOT want to piss him off. He has a huge crush on Keroro (yes, this is canon, made clear from the start haha) and gets jealous whenever anybody else fawns over him. Tamama has a huge sweet tooth and is always seen gorging on food.

Kururu: The most intelligent (and creepy) member of the platoon! Kururu’s yellow and he has swirly glasses. Nobody’s ever seen him with them off, I think. Kururu is just…weird. He does strange, strange things and messes with the platoon and the other humans just to get a laugh. However when he’s needed he does pull through amazingly!! Kururu doesn’t really get along with anyone except for his human companion, Saburo (who Natsumi has a crush on).

Dororo: The blue frog and also the one everybody forgets. Dororo’s a ninja and due to his sort of timid personality he’s never really the focus of attention. Keroro forgets about him often which always makes him really upset and it flips his “trauma switch” which reduces him to a crying, sniveling mess as he relives past horrors, poor boy ;m; He was also childhood friends with Kero and Giro and Kero often used him as a scapegoat as well as a guinea pig;; (It’s not all bad, I promise, they really are good friends)

Other, more minor characters I should mention:

Angol Mois: Another alien, she takes on a human appearance as a girl with tan skin and blonde hair! She affectionately refers to Keroro as “Uncle” and sorta grew up with him (they’re not really related lol). She has this weird thing for Keroro, which makes Tamama insanely jealous. He absolutely despises her haha. Mois is cute, pure, and sweet–but she’s also the one destined to destroy the planet from the 1999 prophecy. She slept in and missed the date though, oops! She tries to crack the planet in two many times using her Lucifer spear, but Keroro usually manages to stop her before she destroys all of planet Earth whewww

Momoka Nishizawa: Tamama’s human companion, she also has a dark side she constantly fights with. She also has an extremely obsessive crush on Fuyuki, so much that she stalks him and spends billions of dollars on crazy plans to get closer to him (she’s rich. Filthy, filthy, filthy rich.)

Saburo Mutsumi: I mentioned him briefly, but he’s Kururu’s companion! AKA too cool for school, Saburo’s handsome, suave, and extremely intelligent. Giroro hates his guts lol. He’s also very kind and while he isn’t around often, he’s always there to lend a hand when it’s needed! And yeah Natusmi has the hots for him kehehe

Koyuki Azumaya: Natsumi’s best friend, she comes from a ninja village and is Dororo’s companion. She’s very athletic and peppy, and I’m preeeetty sure she’s gay for Natsumi, which is fantastic. She rescued Dororo when he first arrived on Earth and seems to be the only one who ever remembers his presence.

Aki Hinata: Fuyuki and Natsumi’s mom! She’s always busy working but whenever she is home she dotes on her kids a lot. And DAYUM she is badass, I love Aki. And Kururu has a strange fascination with her for some reason lol. She was the one who allowed Keroro to stay with the family, even going so far as to give him his own room in the basement!

And that other guy I drew earlier? That’s Dark Keroro, the main antagonist of the third Keroro Gunsou movie! His main goal is to invade and conquer Earth, which he does easily and much faster than Keroro can. However Fuyuki is unaffected by his brain-washing waves and refuses to bow down to him, so he takes a special interest in him, trying to get him to join his side for most of the movie. He can’t understand the friendship between Fuyuki and Keroro and struggles with it until the very end ;w; He’s my favorite KG character, I love him to death and he definitely got the ending he deserved!

The one ironic thing about the Keroro Platoon is while they may SUCK at invading Earth, they’re amazing at protecting it. Literally every time some other invader has tried to take over they’ve driven them out, successfully protecting the planet! Honestly they should focus more of their attention on gaining popularity from saving Earth rather than trying to destroy it lol

You can either watch the sub or the dub, both are good! The dub is funnier and has more pop culture references (mostly from the 90s), and the voice acting is great. However I grew up with the sub and while I ADORE the dub, I love the sub more! Also Keroro’s Japanese voice is literally irreplaceable and I can’t imagine him not ending his sentences with “De arimasu!” and doing his usual “Ge~ro gero gero!” cackle it’s just. What makes Keroro KERORO you know?

SO YEAH that’s the basics of Keroro Gunsou!! Please do watch it, it’s a fantastic series and one of my all time favorites. It’s very funny, mostly a comedy-centric thing, but there is plot later on, and all of the movies are great. There is not one bad KG movie, I love them all. I might stream the third movie tomorrow if ya’ll wanna come watch it with me, that’s my favorite one~

#SORRY THAT GOT SO LONG BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH??#Keroro Gunsou #Sgt Frog #Keroro Gunso #Sgt. Frog #I grew up with this show it's literally been with me since middle school so #It means a lot #Also yeah thinking about streaming the 3rd movie tomorrow who's up to watch it with me?? It'll be fun!#Shima answers questions #Ask #Anon ask #Long post

8 DISCUSSION POST

Shrek discussion post

First off Shrek is one of my favorite movies of all times from DreamWorks. In class, I didn’t know that Shrek was a book and was later made into a movie in. What was interesting to me that I learned in class was that the meaning of” Shrek” (in Yiddish) meant “Fear/fright” was a post-modern parody (making fun of Disney). Anywho this movie is beyond funny I didn’t understand the jokes when I was a kid but best believe I did catch them in movie night. My all-time favorite movie parts of the movie, of course, are the intro to the movie it’s a classic it makes fun of the classic Disney “intro” with the storybook and the “once upon” theme but instead, he rips out a page in the book and starts laughing. The next scene that tickled me is when Lord Farquaad wants to find a wife and he has the talking mirror, that scene reminded me of the price is right and(copies snow white with the mirror) he has the chance to pick from three of the Disney princesses and what gets every time is when he asked the mirror “mirror mirror on the wall is this, not the most perfect kingdom of them all? “uhhhh Thelonious ““punches the mirror (lmfaooo I always die because of this scene I don’t know why it’s just super funny. Lastly, when Princess Fiona has her kick-ass scene (Disney would never OK!) that scene sticks out like a glove because never in a million years do you ever see a princess beat up men in the woods. (THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY TED TALK ENJOY)

HARRY POTTER THE SORCERER’S STONE DISCUSSION POST

I just want to say that Harry had the “Hard knock life “(WIZARD EDITION”) the intro was mad dramatic (shows wizard tricks oweeee). SIDEBAR (I didn’t even know that a woman (J.K Rowling) made the Harry Potter’s series that’s super cool. Back to my discussion out of all places why would they put them with this sick ass family (which unfortunately relate to him) honestly I feel like they were so salty cause they were regular ass hell no powers no wizard cool stuff just a basic muggle family. Just imagine having no powers what so ever at the family functions (sad asf wouldn’t even attend). The whole “child slave was a big NO! Child abuse at its finest he couldn't even sleep with his fat spoiled cousin (he really sleeping in that small corner wowwwww of the house like a dog) who is annoying big ass baby. I was happy when Harry found his gang gang. Nobody is going to address this well I am Ron Weasley was THE BEYONCE OF THE GROUP I SAID WHAT I SAID. Let me elaborate on what I mean by Ron is funny asf he doesn’t try hard to be funny because he is naturally funny, Ron sticks out (looks wise he’s a redhead I think redheads are cool like hello you have red hair you’re not basic). He brings the flair to the group because Harry has a lot on his plate and on the other hand, you have Hermione the “goody to shoe” (save the good girl act for class sweetie loosen up) she can do no wrong all in all the trio balances out. What surprises me is the classic cliché that the hero gets the girl is a NO because Ron does and he’s the SIDEKICK (like I said he’s the Beyoncé hello we stan. (THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY TED TALK ENJOY).

ACCOMPANIED BY WOLVES DISCUSSION POST

This by far is the most twisted and funny 80s scary thriller movie I ever saw never heard of it so I was a bit skeptical about this movie and I was interested. Listen WAS PURE COMEDY OK! I tried to take it seriously but me being me the movie was most definitely 80s MATERIAL. Let’s chat about the relationship with the wife and the husband (the wolf). My thing is my dude just walked out the house because his wolf homies were calling and he dead ass left his wife (for some year) didn’t even return in a week it was some YEARS. Boom sis had about 3 kids looking tired. Fast forward to that boy with the missing tooth. LMFAO I WANT TO HAVE THAT MUCH CONFIDENCE IN MY LIFE TO STUNT ON A GIRL WITH A MISSING FRONT TOOTH (takes some balls to do that). The grandma gave me creepy vibes when she said she deserves a kiss for telling her granddaughter a story (inserts a meme shocking confused face) uhhhhhhh ok (Jaquelin's voice). The way the wolf killed the granny was beyond dramatic (in a funny way). I’ll give granny props how she defended herself one good time. SIDEBAR the wolf was prissy he wasn't a rough wolf) anyways back to him killing her the fact that he knocks her head off CLEAN AND HER HEAD SHATTERED (IN SLOW-MO LMFAO) LIKE A PLATE took me off I couldn’t hold it in class. In conclusion, the best part of the movie was THE WOLF TRANSFORMATION very much 80s (thank god for growth in SPECIAL EFFECTS). The way he tore his face (taking 5 years later) was time-consuming and all the fake blood to make that scene scary SIDEBAR the wife could have run and defended herself I guess she was in shock lmfaoo lol ANYWAYS ( THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY TED TALK) SIDEBAR 9THIS MOVIE MADE ME CRINGE A LOT.......

CRIMSON PEAK DISCUSSION POST

The crimson peak was by far the best adaption of Bluebeard (I SAID WHAT I SAID). Edith and her ruffles going to bed I know she was hot I don’t know if that was a trend back then but......KILL IT everybody who wore that ruffle drip needs to go to jail like you're literally going to bed in a whole outfit (I know y’ all was hot asf). Locke lol I mean Sir Thomas honestly his role in Marvel sticks to him I always see him as Locke in my head. Edith my good sis you were head over heels for this man. For what reason I have no clue but for you to get embarrassed at the party SIDEBAR (I was laughing at that scene she looked so hurt). OK let’s get to the elephants in the room 1. THE HOUSE before I get married or even go to a man’s house, I need to see how you are living PERIOD sis was oblivious and blind to the bullshit, BLOOD OOZING OUT THE WALLS RED FLAG the house was in the middle of Nowhere (reminds me of courage the cowardly dog) the house literally had a huge hole in the roof (like I said blind to the bullshit) everything was old, rusty, bloody tired, beat down, in disarray, (I guess the love was so strong she look past it LMFAO couldn’t be me). My thing was if the damn ghost wasn’t so ghostly and graphic, she would have caught on to the warning signs (but of course she didn’t). Next elephant INSIST like really your own brother I was SHOOK OK like Ewww sweetie lol your siblings are supposed to be UGLY to you in your eyes. Lastly, I love how (sarcastically speaking) she still loved him in the end when he literally made your life a living hell with the help of his nasty sister. I guess love wins in the end after all huh. (I would neverrrrr) Anyways (THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY TED TALK)

Jane Eyre Discussion Post

Jane Eyre was the second-best adaption of Bluebeard even though it was a gothic romance it still had a hint of humor (which was funny asf) which I loved because men think they're so slick. Too bad Jane gets played in this movie (inserts tear emoji). Jane endures the same bs family abuse just like Harry Potter minus the wizard magic her situation was a bit more intense because she gets sent to a charter school and continues to get abused. SIDEBAR The opening scene where she gets knocked in her head was a bit hardcore for my eyeballs. SIDEBAR I’m tired of Mia Wasikowska playing these sad roles making her have the hard knock life but it fits her in a weird way I couldn’t imagine her playing a non “my life sucks type of movie or like a thriller mystery type” Anywhoooo SIDEBAR the fact that Jane was mad young and Rochester is old as dirt baffles me (they like them young back in the old days ) I guess age ant nothing but a number hummmm... uhhhh okay (Jaquelin's voice). Rochester refers to Janes as “fairy” “pale little elf “first off, I cringe (gag reflex sound ugghhh) I wouldn’t feel comfortable at all like CAN YOU NOT. The little French girl (Adele) that dance her heart out for Jane and the old lady looks unbothered from her performance took me out and singing at the same time in the movie I'm sorry but I died laughing watching that scene because The scene that puts he is icing on the cake is the wedding scene one her dress was ugly and she was too petite for that dress two the way Rochester wanted to marry her in a hurry took me out she’s literally out of breath with this vail on her face gasping for air THE WEDDING WAS RUSHED AND A DISASTER.

Beauty and the Beast Discussion Post

Beauty by far had the brains and the beauty out of all the classic Disney princesses. Beauty and the beast skip the intro with the cliché book once upon a time theme (THANK GOD). The only thing that sucks with Disney IS THE SINGING I skip through them (FAITHFULLY) I can live without the musicals. I love how beauty had her own mind in the movie in her town they thought she was “ODD” because she loved to read SIDEBAR lol, I never thought it was weird to have a brain and be smart (YIKESSS) Men valued no brains Beauty was beyond the standard girl back in those days anywhoooo also, I love how she wasn’t chasing after a man the men were chasing her but she was very much uninterested. I don’t know if anybody catch it or not but I did when the dad was on horseback and he had to decide which way to go left or right and one side was dark gloomy and spooky while the other one was a normal path SIDEBAR lmao the horse shook his head down like I know he going to pick the wrong way if only animals could talk, and of course he chooses the dark gloomy path people just want the hard life (insert shrug shoulders emoji). I don’t anybody else caught this, but Belle and the beast were coming through with the looks FOR DINNER in the castle (lmfaoo she had a whole outfit just for dinner and it was only them to eating) same for the beast he looks fresh.

Moulin Rouge Discussion Post

The show must go on! I was a bit confused about this movie because it was a mess a lot was going on at first, the first thing that pops into my head “Lady Marmalade” with Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya, and Pink. What stands out to me was the vivid colors the costumes and the famous soundtrack that was used in this film (which was bomb asf) what was so random to me was the “Green fairy part” she reminded me of a raunchy tinker bell (cringe) SIDEBAR fun fact Ozzy Osbourne is credited as the voice of the green fairy I thought that was cool I honestly don’t know what was the reason for that part to display how drunk they were from the absynthe SIDEBAR I was completely lost with this movie bare with me. It was never a dull moment in this movie LITERALLY, my favorite performance was “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best friend all eyes were on her (AS IT SHOULD BE WHEN YOU’RE THE STAR). SIDEBAR I don’t know why but Satine always remind me of Christina Aguilera. She had the crowd on their knees with the MONEY. During this performance I can see where the trouble starts to brew the MISCOMMUNICATION, Harold tried to “SECURE THE BAG” WITH THE DUKE while John whispering into Christian ear about meeting his dream girl Satine. The saddest part in the story was when we saw she was coughing up blood, passing out and she still chose to perform (THE SHOW MUST GO ON.)

HERCULES DISCUSSION POST

Truth be told I never really watch Hercules (yeah, I know I'm weird) I really didn’t care for Hercules I'm not a Disney fan, But I got the opportunity to see it in class and it was a decent movie all in all. Is it just me or Hercules FEET WAS HUGE like his body proportion didn’t equal out at all? The Hades in this movie is funny, sarcastic and NOT mean he was just a PG type of hades (LOL THAT WAS CUTE DISNEY TO WATER HIM DOWN TO DISNEY STANDARDS FOR THE KIDS). Hade was amusing to watch in the show when we get to see him. Another thing I noticed was the advertisement endorsement scene I instantly think of the crazy Shrek phase when Shrek was on everything at the grocery store. Dreamworks is really on Disney's necks the opening scene to Hercules had A GOSPEL SONG SUNG BY BLACK WOMEN (DISNEY WOULD NEVER). I’m pretty sure Disney was shook and most likely PUNCHING THE AIR (lol). When that scene came, of course, I had goosebumps the soul in their voice lifted the storyline to a thousand. The Mount Olympus scene tickled me when baby Hercules took Zeus lightning bolt and put it in his mouth and shock himself was funny to me as well. SIDEBAR when Hade's losses his shit is so funny to me it’s like I can relate to him more than any character on the movie he was my favorite. Honestly, his do boys need to quit they legit had one job and THEY FAILED.

FUCK U

JORDAN

I WASNT YOUR LEAK

LOOK WHERE IT GOT YOU

GOD DAMMIT!!

Like literally Logan, was like "you were the honestly honest one".

And Toph's all like "we can't trust emily."

And Jaidens like "im so happy you brought me back AND took out pines." And like mad n ian are like "alliance needs to be strong."

And yeah I haven't spoken to anyone else.

But im sure they're like "damn kai was hot in that tribal."

Or something similar.

So Jordan Pines, you are so very welcome to join my hall of trophy votes. The idol I played wasn't mine but Kai's. Kai transferred it to me because Emily told us you were gunning for me with swapped antiope. QQ You join names such as Seamus, Brandan, Tyler, and Catfish Alexa on my stuffed and mounted

I’m so scared Logan is suddenly being so nice to me he messaged me like hey love and then started telling me to drink fluids and stay healthy and I’m scared he’s plotting against me. And Toph is the complete opposite. He’s being flat out rude to me sending me snapchats of him flipping me off and telling everyone that I can’t be trusted and it’s SO RUDE like wtf I know they can’t but like don’t tell them that!

ok so this puzzle is literally destroying my sanity

i shit you not i turned on GHOST MODE for this motherfucker what was i thinking??? "GEE I REALLY WONDER WHAT THE FUCK THIS PUZZLE MIGHT LOOK LIKE, AND GHOST MODE WILL SURELY HELP ME PUT IT TOGETHER"

god no wonder its called the hell puzzle, i never wanna see this spiky shit again

I feel like the past 24 hours or so have been a lot of “firsts” for me. This is the first time in a Tumblr game I’ve ever been voted out, and later returned due to a twist!! This is the first time I’ve beaten Jordan Pines in an individual challenge :~) (my favorite accomplishment). This is not, however, the first time I’ve felt like a complete outcast! Fuck!!

Basically, I join the merge tribe after vanquishing the Goliath to my David. I expected triumphant cheers of happiness that mister Pines was finally eliminated, but there was nothing more than a sigh at my entrance. Nobody even initially congratulated me.

So here we are, hours after I got back into the game. I guess it’s been almost a full day since then, actually, but I put my absolute all into this competition. I knew from the get-go there’d be no chance in flaming hell I’d win immunity today unless everyone else just decided not to bother. No matter how quick I get done with that puzzle, I had a feeling that I’m still going to get second or third at best. But I’m actually okay with it!

Another first that I accomplished was that I didn’t give up when faced with an incredibly difficult task. Look, beating Jordan Pines wasn’t as hard as it seemed. I’ve gotten him voted out of games before, how much harder could it be to just get him out of a simple ten-point challenge? In comparison to today’s immunity, it was like jumping from little league to major league in a minute. Thankfully this puzzle wasn’t last night’s challenge, lmfao. So I accomplished just getting the puzzle done. Win or lose, this is a proud moment. I literally spent over 8 hours just trying to get the pieces together, and 7 of those hours were spent just today alone. The outcome won’t take this feeling away from me. I’m proud! This gives me a really good argument for myself at a potential final tribal council – I came back, stuck to my guns, and proved that I never gave up at any moment in this game. EVEN KNOWING I could lose such a challenge, I dedicated eight whole hours of my life to getting this shit done. Whew.

I mean I guess there’s a little hope inside me that anyone who completes the puzzle gets some sort of reward out of it… I doubt that’s the case, but it was enough to really kick me into high gear during the first 20% of the puzzle or so to just keep at it. I needed that push.

Anyways, now that I’m back in the game, I need to find some allies. I started working on Rhone and they gave me some useful information about what went down in the game. None of it made ANY sense because I’ve missed so much, but Kai was another person that really tried to instill in me an idea that I could work with him, too.

Before coming back, I was super anti-Jordan Pines. I knew that he was gonna be a tough cookie to crack if I were to magically return and have him still here. So I played that up a lot to Kai in particular, at least to give myself an option if I need one. This might give him a sense that we’re on the same page, wanting to take out the remainders of Jordan’s allies. I’m just kinda waiting for him to swoop down and take me in under his wing. Really, I’m waiting for anybody to do that at this point…

Then again, I’ve got Rhone as a potential “in”. I’ve never played with Rhone before, but I know they’re really smart just by talking to them. I don’t want to even flirt with the idea of lying to Rhone or being a little bit dishonest. I need to be as straight-forward with them as I can because they’re NOT the kind of person I want to lie to for any reason. They’d see right through me and call me out on it, which I don’t need right now.

An idea I’ve had would be to just fill in the spot Jordan Pines made with his alliance. Hopefully they’ll accept me as a new number, because clearly I’m very against Ian. There’s like, no chance I’ll work with either Ian or Madeline or Toph at this point (and I’m not even going to talk to the latter two because… choke), so if I can find a way to send those three out back to back to back? Sign me right up!

Logan’s changed his profile picture to a leek because of some mysterious “leak” drama going around. Like, oh please keep sinking your ship. I promised Dan I wouldn’t target Logan for a bit because Dan wants to see him go far, but like Logan is kinda unnecessary to my game at the moment. I don’t trust him because he doesn’t trust me, and although I don’t have a lot of options, shattering Jordan’s old alliance *might* be beneficial for me in the long-run.

I don’t understand subtlety, so I don’t care if I win immunity and if I do, it’d be a freaking dream. I am going to make my presence in this game known one way or another, so these people had better prepare for that. I should, too. Thankfully, I’ve got this redemption idol so if things look grim for me tomorrow night, I know I’m getting at least tenth place. I don’t want to position myself as the easy vote since I’m a returner, so… let’s try hard to stick around this time and not get messy. Since I’m here, I may as well try to get to the end this time and not be chaotic as fuck. It doesn’t take big moves to win the game, but it does take strong relationships to get people convinced you deserve to win over everyone else. Like I’ve said, I have to right my wrongs from before I was voted out. Then again, I don’t let go of grudges so who knows what the future has in store for me. All I know is I’m glad I'm over that hell of a puzzle.

I worked on that puzzle for over ten hours. The most I got was 35%. At least I tried.

Step one of my master plan. Cry in everybody's PMs and tell them why I DO NOT want to go home.

Step two of my master plan. Become Jordan Pines. Everybody loves Jordan Pines, so why would they vote him out? It just makes no sense. Only Ian and Kai and whoever else voted for him yesterday, and there's no fucking way I'm not getting AT THE LEAST Ian's vote. I kinda need the majority here, so it seems like my best bet is to just make them think I'm not Jaiden.

Step three of my master plan. Scramble. Hard.

And finally, step four. Play the idol on myself. Hopefully I have enough votes coming my way (aka all but mine) and I can look like a good fucking player for once and take out someone I don't like (aka Toph).

HOPEFULLY everyone votes for either myself or Ian. If Ian goes home, then yay he's dead. If they all vote me, then boo you guys just fucked up and now I cancel all the votes : D

I don't know who is willing to work with my cracked ass at this point, but I'm not going down without a fight. I'm gonna pull out all the stops to make shit happen, I'm just really really scared that I won't do it correctly.

me @ everyone in pms: "hi this is your master speaking, please vote for ian"

we all know the real jordan pines uses mind control

I'm going into the second hour on a private call with Ian while we're talking in two different alliances we're in together and discussing our PMs with people. NO ONE can sneak anything past our duo.

I love Logan my only goal in this game now is to get him to not hate me

https://youtu.be/5hV-WJy_kUI

I’m waiting for someone to Jeff Varner themself to make this vote easy

Honestly it's so funny when I have to pretend I don't talk to Ian much and even say he's sorta awkward to talk to. IF ONLY PEOPLE KNEW JUST YESTERDAY WE TALKED FOR 5 HOURS.

my dad is dead

i dont know who to trust

im immune tho

and i got a super idol

neat.

I've heard my name all day long and that gets mentally draining and I tried to set in place a plan to keep myself in, if it works,great, if not oh well it's been a fun ride so far. The reason it wouldn't work is one it's very contingent on Nicholas throwing his vote and Two- Dammit Toph spilling the real name to someone we don't need knowing, the point of getting people to throw votes is them not knowing who we might be coming for. Anyways, we will see and if I go out no one can say I didn't try

I did the thing that I wanted to do the least in this game tonight well maybe not the least I don’t know I’m using voice text for this just so everybody knows in case this is a total mess I blame Siri anyways tonight was horrible I had to cast a vote for road and I love road to death and just hoping that Rome doesn’t hate me for a bit is it just God I just really I don’t even know what to do anymore in this game I’m just I’m really relying on dudes James and to do each oh my god this is such a mess and I just I recorded a video confessional earlier but I just know I won’t have time to upload it and I’m just leaving rehearsal now and I just I don’t feel like typing but everything is it’s a mess I want to cry and a half like God Charlotte JD LA I’m so upset this This is the fucking worst and I I don’t even know if the boat is going to go my way tonight I feel like I’m really betraying Nicholas because he’s going to cast a vote for Jaden thinking that everybody else is going to vote for Jayda but nobody except I haven’t so I don’t even know if I’ll trust me after this of Oracle try to get me out or something I don’t know what I’m really trusting telephone and really trusting Madeline and Ian and Kai and I’m just so so so upset I’m going to listen to Pasha to drown out my sorrows hopefully I’m home in time for life tribal but do I even want to be on live tribal tonight I really don’t think I do god this is such a mess why do I play these games all it does is make me sad and stressed I don’t know fuck

Sorry Rhone, I was the one who convinced Dudes, Dames, and a Deutch to write your name out then convince Toph to his a double vote. It was nothing personal other than you were JP's right hand and you voted me. We just had to go with a name that wasn't being thrown around in fear of an idol...Which one was played it was just Jaiden(I told you guys we couldn't go after Jaiden this round) and he played it on me. That's two idol's used on your boi right here, I am in your house stealing all your idol'd votes. The best part, neither of them have been idols I have found! Who needs to search the island when you can get people to play their advantages with you as a beneficiary. As per usual shout out to my girl Madeline, love ya girl we couldn't have pulled off the moves we made so far without being 100% honest with each other. Special shout out to Jaiden as well, thank you so much man you made my day and I think I can start to rebuild a relationship with you, eventually all alliances must end and I feel if you stay in the game for when that time comes we can pull something off.

The only idol that won't be getting played on Ian this game is going to the idol of my heart. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF THIS BOY PLAYS ME HE'S OVER.

Gunbreaker

So i read a lot of light novels these days and so i decided to write something in a similar style. It's mostly meant to be a learning experience, purely for fun. Try to see it as that, or don't, not that it matters. The plan is to publish something every month, gradually it will become bigger and bigger. This is the idea at least. I won't really talk about the subject of this Web-Novel, see for yourself. It contains some mature content though and will gradually ramp up in that regard.

But enough of that, just enjoy the little something i’ve written up here.

Chapter 1: Days of Justice 1 Life can be so terribly dull, so very uneventful. Going through the motions, following the daily grind it's easy to just shut off your mind and do whatever you are told. A chosen few will come to detest this truth, but only the smallest number will successfully rebel against it, without being crushed into submission. But some events make you appreciate just how easy life actually is. Events like a sudden shootout, when you find yourself surrounded by maimed corpses, blood splattered all over you in merely a second. Yes, an event like this might cure these childish thoughts of rebellion,of changing the world, but for me, they were awakened. All i felt was uncontrollable rage, like a wild beast unleashed on this world. Not that it mattered, i was only lucky to survive the first barrage and the next one would surely extinguish my life. If it wasn't for the girl, that is. I don't think i ever thanked her for that... The faint blue color of the screen was the only light source in my small room, as i chugged down another can of my valuable energy-drink. Well listen, my allowance was really small at the time and those stupid cans were expensive as hell, it's not like i had an addiction. Anyway, it was another all-nighter for me, watching my favourite shows or playing games together with a few slackers called my friends. I had school tomorrow, but what of it, this useless educational system could go straight to hell for all I cared. Still gonna go in the morning, of course, otherwise my mom would yell at me. Didn't matter, I just slept in class, you could say I mastered this technique over time. No one ever noticed. Because the teachers are stupid, completely retarded. I spent many a night like this, wasting away, basically doing nothing but diminish the energy to actually achieve something in my life. I was 15 though, gimme a break, okay? Now this night, though, this night was special and in many ways it shaped my whole future. As I browsed through meaningless videos, funny threads filled with smart people (who always seemed so much more clever than my dumb teachers) and, of course, I left my own comments, receiving praise in the thousands, by my fellow internet brethren. What joy, I felt elevated, but this happened regularly, so that is not what I am talking about. No, the night was made special the moment I opened another video titled “The truth of the wastelands”. The footage showed a small village, utterly ruined, smoke rose from the roofs while armored vehicles moved into the frame, spilling heavily-armed soldiers out of their guts. Now mind you, this is the first time I laid eyes on supposedly real firearms and it was also the first time I saw a human being die. They rushed into a hut, one of the few unscathed by what could only be an artillery-strike and dragged out a few people, bearing all the qualifications of a family. And then they just shot them, one after the other. There wasn't any sound and the footage wasn't of the highest quality, but the way the bodies, former humans, jerked after having a gun put to their head, made me sick to my stomach. Just then, the screen faded to black, showing only my reflection and my disgusted face. A message spread across the screen:”This video was taken in one of the rural areas surrounding our walled cities. This world is not safe, this world is not peaceful and we do not live in prosperity. They are lying to you. They keep you safe in your cages while they do as they please.” The message was signed by a group named “Hermes”, their logo a pair of red winged sandals on a black background. I never heard of them before, yet I felt like they were right, like they had something to say that needed to be said. Outside of the cities, such horrific crimes took place? Could it be? How was I unaware of that, how was everyone unaware of that? As I read through the comments, I slowly started to understand: “This looks fake.” “lol, take off your tinfoil-hats!” “who are these guys anyway?” “wow, nasty, they just popped her head, lmfao” “Is this real? Then someone should change this! Actually, screw that, I want to change this, I am so mad right now!!” The last message belonged to me, my true feelings, written down by a 15-year-old highschooler. Even today it makes me chuckle and before I could receive any reaction on my comment, the video was gone. I refreshed the page, there was nothing, just the error message. Now I could have just forgotten about it, there were a million reasons why this video got deleted. Maybe it violated the guide-lines of this website, maybe the contents were stolen from someone else, maybe it actually was fake and the administrator tried to prevent the spreading of such bullshit. Or maybe it was all a grand conspiracy and the government themselves deleted the video, to cover up their crimes! You are free to guess what was most plausible in my mind there. Now let me say something to my defense though, it wasn't actually that outlandish. It was like an open secret that you can not leave our five major cities. If you were born in one, you were going to die in this same metropolis. It was commonly known, obviously, nobody could cover up the fact, that the mainland of our planet was a hellish landscape, unfit to any human life. Yet people lived there, apparently and maybe seeing that triggered this anger in me, this self-righteous justice. Everyone else was just lying to themselves, because they weren't the one on gunpoint, they were safe and only later, I understood them. That it was easier this way. You were simply happier and fighting it was futile, you tried to climb a mountain without any limbs. But back then, I didn't see it that way in my youthful recklessness. Ultimately, it really didn't matter anyway. I was helpless, there was nothing I could do to help those poor people living outside the safe zones. There was nothing to be found online, I searched every nook and cranny, stumbling over baseless rumors. One suggested that Hermes was actually the government themselves, luring in stupid teenagers and offing them once they got their personal information. I also met at least a dozen people claiming to be Hermes, but that soon proved to be just trolling. There was nothing left and it depressed me a little, I became distant to my friends, I never replied to their requests to play some games, I was obsessed with that video. How their bodies went limb, how they were meaninglessly slaughtered. Now that was my own interpretation of the scenes, for all I know this family could have been a band of mass murderers and the armed forces only exacted revenge, but in my conviction, I had to save innocent lives. Me, a failure of a student, with no exceptional intelligence to speak of. Really, if Hermes had any sense, they'd tell me to leave as soon as I made contact. Instead, after a week of frantic searches, asking around online, I received a message: “We witnessed your resolve, brother. If you still want to bring the deserved peace to this world, then join us.” 2 Embedded in this simple message was a link. The logical assumption would be that this would either lead me to some fucked up porn or a virus, ready to just disintegrate my entire system. Naturally, I clicked it without a moments hesitation. Nothing bad happened against all odds, instead I found myself in some chat room. They really were serious with me! There was no members-list, no previous message, radio-silence. I felt like I stepped into a hall of heroes, onto the round table itself, only virtually of course. My real scrawny body was still hunched over the keyboard, not knowing what to say, what message I could write. Really, I blacked out completely, I didn't even know a simple online-chat room could feel so awkward, yet here I was, frozen stiff. I typed a simple “hello” and deleted it before I could send it. Then I wrote some eight-grader nonsense of justice and prophecies and thankfully deleted that too. I have enough cringy memories, I didn't need that one...on further thought, does one more on the huge pile really matter? Only then, he finally broke the silence: HERMES: So you want to change our fate, breaking free, destroying the influence of the five Warlords? Tell me, brother, what motivates your actions? Why do you want to join our justice? Yeah, turns out this guy was as much of a child as I was. Of course I replied enthusiastically, but at this point I had no screen-name yet. I thought long and hard about my answer, actually only a minute, I didn't want them to think I just left. ANON: I saw the video you guys published a few days ago and since then, I simply cannot stand by while innocent lives are erased. Please let my join in your noble cause, my brothers, in your pursuit of liberation! I don't know what to say here... I could practically feel how the people on the other side of the screen laughed their asses off...is what I want to say, but in reality, I felt pretty damn proud after my convincing answer. HERMES: Very well. A good answer. Yet we see that you are still unrefined, without a strict direction. Without a plan to actually achieve our ends. Fret not, we are here to guide you in your path, but you have to take action yourself, just as you did before we found you. HERMES: Are you capable of doing that? This is your trial, identify who is responsible for these crimes, we will contact you in another week. And just like that, I was back on my homepage, unsure of what to do. The culprit? The person who is responsible? Or was this about an idea, the motive behind these actions? Come to think of it, why would they turn our planet into an unruly land, where only the strongest survive and the laws are made at the muzzle of a gun? What could be the meaning of this? I had to mull it over and most importantly I could not disappoint these internet-warriors. For all I knew they were just kids, maybe not even a group, some teenager who knew a little more about computers and managed to abuse a security-leak. There was absolutely no guarantee that Hermes was the real thing. It's just that it didn't even matter to me. I was just happy to escape my boring life, to have a sense of purpose so many teenagers are missing. A feeling of superiority filled my very being, I was better than all these blind idiots, lying to themselves just to preserve their peaceful lives. This would all change, I'd fight to birth a new world. Or at least I was about to. 3 The following days I did nothing but research, I even skipped school, coming up with an excuse how terribly sick I am. Maybe I laid it on a little thick, my mother almost send me to the hospital, but the end-result was me sitting in front of my computer-screen, looking up everything I could think of. Some things I looked into were common knowledge, that every one of our five cities were independent states, governed by a prime minister and that there was a big conference every four years. This already struck me as odd, were they allowed to leave the cities? And wasn't it a little to convenient, five cities for five warlords? Surely there must be some sort of conspiracy on a government-level so I dug deeper, I needed to know everything of our administration down to the districtional plane. Needless to say, I found nothing and that in itself was weird. You'd expect a bunch of theories online, some baseless rumors, some insane people dedicating everything to bring some shocking truths to light, even if there is no proof. Hermes wasn't much different, after all. However, I found nothing, like the entire network was curated by some unknown source. It was scary, I seriously considered giving up, who knows what they would do to me... if they could track me. Well, I had a lot of countermeasures against that, at least I thought I did. Hacking or cracking, these were never skills I acquired, so I just relied on some tutorials to set up an impregnable barrier. Feeling safe like that, I naturally continued, but I couldn't shake this bad feeling. The only information I could gather out of direct conversations, groups similar to Hermes, just not as influential or effective. Cause when I mentioned the group, everyone held their breath, metaphorically of course. For the first time, I heard of their reputation, how they brought down the website of the government, putting their logo across the entire screen whenever you tried to access it or how their leader escaped multiple raids on his home-base, injuring the special forces in the process. I never even knew our police had a special force! It was awe-inspiring to me and more than ever, I wanted to be a part of this organization. Again, there was no proof for any of this, only my faith. Surely nobody would do such a terrible thing, just telling lies on the internet. So while I did acquire some information, true or false, no matter, I didn't really feel like inching closer to my goal. What was the reason, how could I find out? In the end I even pinned everything I found on a board in my room, feeling like some kind of TV-Detective. If my parents caught me, they might have send me to the therapist, but luckily they never entered my room without knocking first...for both our sakes. I put down all kind of names, organizations, looking for a link that shouldn't be there, evidence for some sketchy business. The video flared back into my mind, how all life left the body of this innocent woman, but it wasn't just about that, not just a reminder for the injustice I vowed to destroy. No, I looked for something, an emblem, a badge on the soldiers, maybe a number on their weapons, anything I could use. Hermes gave me nothing, our exchange took maybe five minutes, then they send me on my way, to prove myself, but what did they expect? How could a student figure this out, if no one else could? Nobody knew why we lived confined in these cities, nor when it even began. It was lost to history, maybe all accounts of a time before the metropolis were deleted, maybe destroyed in some kind of catastrophe. This was the most likely scenario, that nobody meant for this to happen, just some natural disaster scorching the earth. But if that was the case, Hermes wouldn't fight against...against someone. Who was it, I had to know! The five Warlords, yes, I remembered, but who are they? The deadline was drawing near, tomorrow, at night most likely, they would expect my answer. No sleep was found this night, not until I could come up with something, anything. The most embarrassing thing would happen if I just had no answer at all, if I'd just stay silent. Or spout some generic shit, like “The government” or “the Banks, they are responsible for our misery”. I could not let it end here! So I stayed up all night thinking about it, I continued to rack my brain in the morning, eventually, I couldn't go on any longer and just fell asleep on my desk. The sound of a notification woke me up and there it was, another message. It didn't say anything, which did nothing to ease my nervousness, only provided a link again. The sender was clear though, so there was no doubt, Hermes contacted me just like they said they would. But I still had no answer. Regardless, I had to dive in, of course, always thinking about this video. It was the only definite hint that I had, so the answer had to be in there. Who is behind all of it, what is the reason for the sorry state of our planet? The reason...wait, it could be so simple! HERMES: Now then, Initiate. Did you find the solution to our query? I hesitated, I wasn't sure, it might be too simple, it might even be idiotic. It was all I had, however. With trembling fingers, I hammered my answer into the keys. ANON: The reason these crimes are possible, the true culprit...is the weaponry used by men. This was my answer, this was my solution. I had to wait a while for a response and every second served only to make me more anxious. HERMES:...Weaponry. Very well! This is the first time we heard this answer, yet it strikes closest to the truth, well done! Now let us show you the true works behind our government, our true leaders. Let us talk about the five Warlords.
