chapter 101-1

I’m totally headcanoning the omakes take place AFTER this arc XDD (see?! Everyone’s fine! Bisha and Kazu are back! And Bisha’s nursing him back to health!!! Everything is gonna be fiiiiine orz orz)

I would love it someday if Adachitoka ever decides to release a breather chapter just about COVID. Like Bisha running around the manor trying to disinfect things and singing happy birthday washing her hands while her shinki are all lying about, just completely listless. Can shinki get vaccinated? lol

BISHA FELT HIS NAME FADING. as;dfkjas;ldfkja;sldkfjddd. I’m just over here shrieking and waiting for her to get to the battlefield. Meanwhile here’s Kazu putting all his power into Attack Mode and peeling away Yato’s armor. Not sure if this is a power up or if Kazu is just growing desperate to try to end it.

“Have you been holding back on me?” Trash Dad to Mizuchi - I seriously headcanon that Mizuchi is one of the most powerful shinki in the noraverse. She could probably shatter names completely if she wanted to, but why waste all that raw power when a small little crack will do? (Also, ugh, Trash Dad. Mizuchi literally told him, “I love you” as Yato was ready to kill him, and then he turns around and mistrusts her? Like, dude, you should be grateful to her!

I like Mizuchi’s save - “I’m just getting serious,” good cover, girl :)

So Trash Dad comes back from the underworld - it makes it sound like whenever his body dies, he claws his way back instead of being reborn. At first I had wondered if he was reincarnated, and if maybe Mizuchi went out looking for him, maybe even having a procedure similar to finding the Dalai Lama, showing potential candidates a few objects and seeing who picks the right ones. I figured she’d find him reincarnated, then pry open his memories of his past life, the way she did with his shinki. Now reading this makes me think after his host body dies, he climbs back out of Yomi and finds another person to possess, like how Yato took over Hiyori’s body when he used Divine Possession.

So that being said, whatever happened to Fujisaki Kouto? Not Trash Dad, but the teenage boy he possessed? Is it too late to save him? (Again, up until now, I just assumed Trash Dad was reincarnated as Fujisaki, and Mizuchi used her powers to awaken him.) Is Take gonna take down the shrine??? What’s gonna happen???? D: D:

Going back to the omake, I seriously laughed so hard IRL at Take and Bisha shopping, Take with his homemade cloth mask (with flowers on it! Awww Take!!) and Bisha trying to look for Pocari (it’s actually really tasty, one of my favs! Yea Kazu has good taste XD).  I headcanon that even if gods can’t get sick, they can still spread it, which is why they’re absolutely correct in wearing masks. High five, Take!

Did Kazuma catch COVID from Yato? It wouldn’t surprise me :/

Bisha’s rocking leather pants and a button up, looking stylish as ever, same with Tenjin and his suit and T-shirt combo. Could Tenjin have brought Tsuyu shopping? I suspect since she’s a plum spirit she’d be even more useless than him. And ofc Ebisu’s buying bulk and jacking up the price as a business opportunity. (lmao LOOK AT HIS CLOTHES!! Awww baby Ebi! He’s not even wearing socks. I love how Adachitoka shows their characters through their clothes XD)

I love that Yato knows all the homemade remedies and offered to bring food for them. He IS a delivery god, it’s just been years since we’ve seen it. Aww.

ETA: I know I’ve gone on about the idea that Kazuma picks Bisha’s clothes, but dude! Look how stylish she’s dressed! I think Kazuma may have initially helped pick out her outfits in the store but Bisha has an eye for fashion as well XDD

I bet Kazu’s loving being nursed to health by her. After the hell of this arc he’s going through, he deserves being pampered *_* I just imagine Bisha feeding Kazu soup and patting a damp cloth on his forehead. He’d be in heaven right now. Poor boy deserves it.

Rating Beyblade Burst season 1 drip

1) Long ass post

2) 2/10 here is equal to a 6/10 irl

3) Original season 1 here, V-Force here, G-Rev here, Fusion here, Masters here, Fury here, Shogun Steel here, Beywheelz here, Beyraiderz here

4) Characters who kept their designs in here and Evolution will be here only (ex: Valt has an entry here but not Evolution)

Valt: 5/10. I like the jacket and the hoodie, but it’s nothing that special

Shu: 4/10. Decent, but nothing great

Training Shu: 5/10. The red and white work well together

Rantaro: 7/10. I love the jacket (which I won’t call a cape because canonically he insists it’s not). Also the pants are great

Ken: 6/10. I like the look, but feel that more could be done with it

Daigo: 5/10. Looks pretty good. My only complaint is that the purple and red are too dull to work with all the black. Either have less black, or make the purple brighter to contrast more

Ryota Kurogami: 2/10. He looks like a background character

Hoji: 2/10. It’d be a 3 because of the plain overalls, but the shoes detract a point

Wakiya: 7/10. I love the jacket with the wyverns on it

Training Wakiya: 3/10. It’s very plain

Orochi: 8/10. Dreadlocks + 4 silver rings + piano key jacket + studded pants

Xander: 8/10. Super buff dude in a crop top

Yugo: 5/10. 2 of those points come from the mohawk alone

Ukyo: 6/10. I like it, but it feels like it’s missing something

Zac: 6/10. He looks pretty good, and that choker is pretty cool

The Masked Blader: 7/10. It’s a nice mask

Gabe: 7/10. He gives off gym bro vibes

Lui: 10/10. I love the hair, and the boots, and the boa scarf

Quon: 5/10. He looks pretty good

Ben: 6/10. The mohawk and purple shorts are cool, but don’t mesh as well as one would hope

Naoki: 4/10. Nice but kinda generic

Jin: 4/10. I like hoodies worn over hats, but Jin’s design doesn’t have much going on aside from that

Akira: 1/10. The design just does not work. It’s a combination of aa bunch of different things (which aren’t that great to begin with) thrown together with absolutely no cohesion

Melos: 4/10. Kinda cool (especially for a background character) but also far from the best cat boy in the series

Haruto: 4/10. What is it with Burst and some background characters having better designs than part of the main cast?

Katana: 6/10. I like the shirt with one sleeve rolled up. And the neatly-cut pants. And the leather arm guard

Shinki: 4/10. It’s just alright

Kyo: 2/10. He looks like a background character (but not a Burst one since those tend to look good)

Mick: 3/10. I kinda like the choker but that’s it

Freddy: 3/10. Same as Mick

Bowie: 4/10. The hat improves on his teammates’ designs

Atsuto: 3/10. Looks decent enough for a background character, and in a different show his design might belong to a main character

Kyoji: 5/10. He looks good for a part of the main cast. And he’s a background character

Ichiro: 3/10. Background character that looks the part

Nika: 3/10. Really nothing special

Toko: 3/10. Almost looks like a background character

Chiharu: 4/10. Bland but decent

Momoko: 2/10. Background character that looks like a background character

Keita: 2/10. Same as Momoko

Hiroshi: 2/10. Same as Keita

Principal Shinoda: 3/10. He’s a guy in a suit. Nothing more

Himeko: 3/10. Bland background character, but the fang gives her something unique

Sasaki: 3/10. Just enough to avoid me saying they look like a background character

Shindo: 2/10. They look like a background character

Shin Komazaki: 3/10. Bland but not terrible

Hanami: 5/10. He looks pretty good

Akio: 2.10. Background character look

Raita: 3/10. Doesn’t look that great

Yoga: 3/10. Not terrible, but nothing that I’d call good

Ken Yukino: 3/10. Barely escapes the background character look

Minen: 5/10. He actually looks good

Dan: 2/10. Background character look

Majin: 3/10. Not a background character look, but close to it

Shun: 3/10. Too much purple and not enough contrast

Ryota Nasu: 3/10. Same as Shun

Kakeru: 7/10. One of the better cat boys of the series

Takuto: 3/10. Almost a background character look

Kento: 4/10. I like the pilot look

Tsujihara: 3/10. His look is pretty bland

I’m not sure if anyone’s asked this... but do you have any writings in the works right now? And also what year of nursing are you? I’m about to have my final for second semester and it makes me want to cry 🥺😭 so whenever I’m stressed I come here to reread your long fic and I can’t help but need MORE 🥰❤️

Hello there, love!! ☺☺

I am all over the place haha. I'm trying my best to focus on one fic at a time but I guess my brain is just bound to map out fics in a queue. 😩😩

My mess of a brain is currently juggling: (Order based on priority)

1. GaaNaru smut fic. (This will be my first time, very nervous.)

2. A Christmas special headcanons for the Sand Family. It's a little uhh not usual??? Haha.

3. Between Naked Souls - 2 (Last chap)

4. On Flowers and Leather Cuffs (Aaaah, this title is definitely not final. I'm still thinking about this.)

5. A family fic between Shinki, Gaara and the reader.

I also have headcanons from the askbox! Four, I think??? AAAAA

On top of all of this I am a very slow, slow writer. I honestly wish I could write faster than what myself has to offer. 😂😂😂 Makes me a little angry-

I am supposed to have a summer class prior to becoming a second year, but since COVID happened before the summer class, I guess I could say I'm in the middle of my first and second year right now. 🤔🤔🤔

You can do it, @kaed!! I believe in you!! 😭😭❤❤ It's very touching to hear that you come to read my fic in order to de-stress. 🥺🥺🥺 That's so heartwarming bb 😭😭 Thank you so much!! ❤❤

Here's a hug for goodluck!! ❤❤

TYPE A-1 REAL MCCOY MFG. CO. he Type A-1 flight jacket was issued to USAAC (United States Army Air Corps) pilots in 1927 and was eventually replaced by the Type A-2 flight jacket by the early 1930s. Original A-1 flight jackets were made of capeskin but during the transition from Type A-1 to A-2, there were many different types of leather used. The Type A-1 Real McCoy MFG.

The Dulux Colour Forecast is back for 2022 with three inspiring palettes set to dominate our homes in the years to come.

Underpinning the forecast this year is inevitably the ongoing pandemic. As we gradually emerge from another difficult year, we look to find a more positive meaning in all we have endured.

‘Living through a pandemic has made us feel even more connected to our homes,’ says Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux colour and communication manager. ‘When it comes to future trends, comfort is key. We want our living spaces to calm and nurture us, so we can process everything we’ve experienced over the last year, and at the same time, help us rediscover our zest for life looking forward.’

Dulux’s research of the current landscape has resulted in the following exciting palettes, ranging from warm tones, to deep decadent hues, and joyful nature-inspired pastels. 

Restore

Having spent so much time on our devices over the past 18 months, many are yearning for tactile experiences and a connection with loved ones. Time spent in nature is also a key desire, inspiring an uptake in natural fibres and materials such as raw timber, unstructured linen and textured stone.

The Restore palette consists of gentle, earth-based neutrals alongside more rugged, natural tones; buttercream, pumice, deep blue, clay, rich forest green, moss and charcoal-purple. These colours recede and do not demand attention, instead soothing our senses and providing a reassuring backdrop to readjust to constant change.

‘This palette is inspired by our innate need for authentic connection and experience,” says Andrea. ‘Interiors have become our cocoon and a place where we can practice wellness and self-care rituals. We’re choosing less, however, focusing on more quality items that last and provide comfort above all else.’

Flourish 

Breaking away from the past brings with a sense of liberation, awakening a desire to live more boldly, travel further, and experience everything life has to offer. The vibrant Flourish palette speaks to sentiment, influenced by a newfound sense of adventure and passion for life.

Encompassed in this rich, sensual palette are hues that instil a feeling of warmth and intimacy including petrol blue, desert red and dusty rose alongside warm neutrals and a pop of vintage gold. Interiors are layered, expressive and unapologetically individual, encompassing decadent fabrics such as velvet, silk and natural leather.

‘It’s a look for those who want to rewrite design rules,’ says Andrea. ‘As we move towards more freedoms, these colours enrich our feelings of empowerment and spark our imagination. With this comes unrestricted expression, inclusivity and a celebration of the diversity in our community.’

Wonder

Wonder is a palette of unbridled joy featuring light pastels and playful, summery hues such as cornflower blue, lilac, lemon, green quartz and rose gold. Together, these shades evoke a cheerful and optimistic feel with a strikingly clear message: better days lie ahead. 

Surprising combinations highlight the whimsical nature of this look; think quaint florals with eclectic colours, or checks paired with sleek, contemporary furniture. 

For bedrooms, Andrea recommends a deep and decadent tone from the Flourish palette, such as Dulux Deep Leather or Dark Door. For the workspace, look to the fresh and energising tones such as Dulux Harmonious or Celery Green, or update your front door with Dulux Edvard, Pink Papaya and Oboe D’Amore. 

‘Adding one or more colours from the Forecast palettes – whether it’s with paint or accessories – is a great way to bring your home up to date, as well as creating that positive change in your surroundings so many of us crave right now,’ says Andrea. ‘Once you live with colour and experience the connection and emotion it creates, you’ll never return to a blank canvas.’

chapter 78.2 spoiler leaks

Thanks to @noragami-ru-manga for posting these! XD

Is Kazuma a lightning sword??? I mean, maybe it’s just artistic flourish/sparks from being thrown into the ground etc., but it sure looks like Kazuma has an extra ability, like how Hiiro was a water sword:

And while we’re at it, is that Glasses-kun from the last chapter??? D: D:

-I love that Kazuma is like Nana in that he’s not just a weapon, but he’s also a divine garment. Love that he’s a scarf/gloves combo, which looks hella cool with Yato’s existing character design (the leather gloves reminds me of Ebisu’s one shinki, who was a pair of white gloves. I wonder if they enhance Yato’s combat ability?)

-LOOK AT BABY KAZU LEARNING HIS LETTERS. I don’t care that they also showed him being strangled, look at his little angel baby face!!

- Because I’m Kazuma trash, of course I had to look up the name, “Kiyotsugu” -

What Does Kiyotsugu Mean?

Above all people with this name place their trust into logical thinking.

They are conscientious, diligent, dependable and real action takers. Their great love for details usually results in coworkers estimating them very highly.

Praising yourself is however not something you would ever do. [...]

Taking someone under your wing and building them up by giving comfort is one of your greatest talents. Those who have won your trust once can always rely on you.

A good mentor who prides himself on logical thinking? Oh man, maybe not so much anymore :(

“Thank you, Kazune.” HE GAVE KAZUMA THE FAMILY NAME. I love it! Yato really is the Best Bro, Kazu may be a stray but Yato still cares about him, he’s not gonna just use him and throw him away.

-Re: being strangled. It makes me wonder if Kazuma had any neck issues, especially wearing those ties with those uniforms. Now I headcanon that he wore the stupid thing out of duty, but as soon as he was able he’d loosen his tie and unbutton the top of his collar (Bisha notices, but doesn’t say anything since it could open a God’s Greatest Secret. She just goes around wearing her own necktie loose in the hopes that he would eventually copy her).

-I’m wondering who it was that killed him. Was it someone he was close to? A family member? Someone he loved? I’m thinking maybe someone betrayed him, or maybe he did the betraying?

- The tears at the end, OMG. Someone give them both a hug.

We are taking Pre-orders for @papanuisays latest A-26 Olive Drab Edition. Retail will be $350 Aus Its available in either M or L size. Approximate delivery will be late Sept/ Oct. DM us or email [email protected] for details. You have until this Sunday to get your orders in. Read about the inspiration for the cap below. ‘In Korea, the Air Force used to take the F-86 jocks out onto the field before dawn, in the dark, in buses, and pilots who had not been shot at by a MIG in air-to-air combat had to stand up. At first Gus couldn’t believe it and then he couldn’t bear it - those bastards sitting down with their custom A-26 Papa Nui leather caps were the only ones with the right stuff! The next morning when they tumbled out there in the dark, he was sitting down. He had gone up north toward the Yalu on the first day and had it out with some howling supersonic Chinese just so he could have a seat on the bus and wear an A-26 Papa cap.’ The A-26 is a beautiful limited edition mechanics style cap that is realised in front quarter veg tanned Shinki Hikaku Horse hide. Shinki has a naturally rustic and antiqued grain and is a textured luxury hide that darkens and smooths with time and wear. This cap is the perfect pairing with any aviators jacket and this seasons Olive colour is a wonderful update with its rich and deep drab tone with matching herringbone twill sweat band that keeps the cap comfortable to wear. The pliable visor allows a nonchalant flip up implying a devil may care attitude. The A-26 comes in it’s own Herringbone carry tote. This winters version recreates a Japanese soldiers ‘Bukuro’ bag adding value to perhaps the best piece of kit to ever come out of the Papa Nui stables. #a26 #papanuisays #a3cap #madeinjapan #shinki #shinkileather #militarystyle #vintagestyle #bigtroublestore #sydney #surryhills (at Big Trouble Store) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQu19o_LX7u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Benzein TDD-02 Derby GMTO

Introduction

This past July, I received my first pair of custom designed boots from Benzein Shoes (@benzeinshoes), deemed the TDD-01 boot. Long story short, I was quite satisfied with how these boots turned out. (See my detailed photo review of these TDD-01 boots here.) 

Not long after, we began to discussing the design for a second pair—this time, a derby. And while the stitching on the first pair wasn’t the absolute cleanest, and the vamp leather creased a little more than I would’ve liked, Benzein still produced a very nice boot at a great price. Plus, the guys at Benzein are super chill and easy to work with, and it’s not everyday that one has the opportunity to help develop the pattern for their own boots. Thus, discussions on a second pair began, and the TDD-02 derby was born.

(Disclaimer: I will admit that I cannot be completely unbiased in my “review” of these derbies, as I played a role in their pattern and design. However, as with all my other reviews, I took as many photos as I could so that you can judge for yourself the quality of the TDD-02 derby.)

Specifications & Price

After settling much of the details with Benzein, I did a rough photoshop job combining all of our ideas together using various photos off Instagram. I’ve also included the exact order specifications below. The initial design included using brown Badalassi Carlo Minerva leather for the upper. However, Benzein later informed me that they came up with a limited supply of black teacore Shinki horserump and I wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity.

Article: TDD-02 derby

Size: 44

Last: Kujang

Upper: teacore horsebutt Shinki Hikaku

Upper stitching: dark brown

Lining: tan calfskin

Hardware: 6 rounded antique brass eyelets + rivets

Toebox: unstructured

Half gusseted tongue

Midsole: single

Outsole: Vibram Sole 2340 Explosion Half Sole & 5340 Explosion Heel

Edge trim: natural

Construction: Veldtschoen 270° (no stitching around heel)

Welt stitching: white

Heels: Cuban heels

Laces: jaguar maroon leather laces

Based on these specifications, the TDD-02 derbies cost a total of $440 USD, including shipping. However, Benzein is offering to drop the price to $400 USD for this GMTO, which for teacore Shinki horsebutt is an amazing deal.

Being completely honest, I can’t remember the exact date I placed my order on these TDD-02 derbies. But according to Benzein their average wait times are about 4 months. My pair was completed on 10/17/2020, shipped out of Jakarta, Indonesia on 10/19/2020, and was delivered in San Jose, CA on 10/23/2020.

Branding & Unboxing

I said it in my first review and I’ll say it again: Benzein has some of the best branding I’ve seen. The navy blue box with it’s champaign emblem is very clean and classy, and it exudes quality and professionalism. Each derby was packaged within an individual boot bag, and also included an extra set of waxed cotton, round laces.

360 Degree View

Since the TDD-01 boots fit so well, I decided to have the TDD-02s built on the same custom wide kujang last. I admit, the kujang last is fairly polarizing. It’s definitely the sleekest, most angular toe shape in the Benzein last collection. In combination with this derby pattern, the kujang last gives the shoe a uniquely modern dressy vibe, and I feel it suits it well. 

Again, similar to the TDD-01 boot, we built the TDD-02 on Vibram explosion half soles and heels. They don’t seem to be very popular or common (at least on Instagram), but I really like them. With the derby’s more formal design, I didn’t plan on doing much outdoor hiking in these derbies, so grip and traction weren’t a big concern. If added traction were an issue, I’m sure these derbies would look just as amazing on the more popular Dr. Sole half soles.

Leather

While brown Badalassi Carlo Minerva leather would’ve looked beautiful on these derbies, I have no regrets switching to teacore Shinki horsebutt. This leather is absolutely stunning. The leather is a clean even black, with very subtle marbling texture (most visibly seen on the quarter leather panels). I can’t wait to see how this teacore leather wears in and the stark blacks give way to well-earned teacore browns.

I admit, one of the biggest issues I’ve seen/heard coming out of Benzein is unsightly creasing and loose grain. I can’t be sure if this is an issue with clicking, lasting, or simply not buying top quality hides to begin with. Whatever the case, I’m happy to say I haven’t noticed any issues here. Though it may still be early, I haven’t noticed any loose grain or unsightly creasing yet, which I’m very happy about (see video below).

Stitching & Finishing

I always hate when a boot maker takes some gorgeous leather and constructs a boot with sloppy, half-assed stitching. Luckily, Benzein did not sh*t the bed with this beautiful Shinki horsebutt. The stitching is so good. I’ll admit that while the stitching on the TDD-01 was pretty good, it was a little underwhelming. However, the finishing and stitching on these TDD-02 derbies are significantly cleaner. I can’t put into words why I feel this way, if it’s a slightly thicker thread, a change in stitch count, or something else. But what I can’t say, I’ll let these photos say for me. 

Significantly cleaner than the stitching on my TDD-01s, as well as on boots coming out of most other boot factories, both domestic and abroad. The front corners of the quarter panels is a very common place for sloppy stitching. With Benzein, that’s not the case. They have really stepped up their game when it comes to stitching and finishing, and I’m glad for it.

Slight inconsistencies in the placement of the antique brass rivets within the stitching windows, but nothing egregious.

Very clean heel stay stitching. I like it.

The same personalized engraved insoles as my TDD-01s. I’ve always appreciated this little personalization option Benzein offers complementary to its customers. It’s small, and has no bearing on the overall quality of their shoes, but it really it feel like your boots were custom built just for you—which they were already, but still. lol

Pretty neat 270° double row veldtschoen welt stitching. The stitch density on these isn’t the most clean and uniform I’ve seen, compared to the welt stitching by other boot makers such as Onderhoud, Role Club, or Renavgoodsco. However, the spacing between the two rows of stitching is consistent and the stitch lines are straight, which is more than what can be said for many of the very reputable boot brands based in the United States.

As I said in my TDD-01 review, I really like Benzein’s Cuban heel style. (As I noted last time, this style of heel is actually called a woodsman heel, as a Cuban heel actually doesn’t curve as it angles from welt to sole. However, for strictly ordering purposes, if you ask Benzein for their “Cuban heel,” this curved heel is what you will receive.) The majority of the curved “Cuban heels” coming out of Indonesia are extremely bold and “in your face.” However, Benzein’s curved Cuban heel is subtle yet strong, and exudes confidence and character without going overboard.

Try On & Comfort

Not gonna lie, and I know comfort is very subjective, but these derbies fit my ugly bunion feet absolutely perfectly. They were super comfortable right out of the box. As I mentioned earlier, one of the most common issues I’ve seen coming out of Benzein is loose grain and unsightly creasing. Unfortunately I can’t speak on behalf of those people, but at least on this pair I’ve seen no leather issues whatsoever. 

This is my first time recording a video so please forgive the focus inconsistencies and the baby wailing in the background. But as you can see, this leather is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to see how it’ll break in.

GMTO Details

As I stated earlier, the normal price for these derbies is $440 USD. However, Benzein is offering to drop the price for this GMTO to $400 USD (including shipping). Unfortunately, Benzein told me that they only have enough teacore Shinki horsebutt for 6 pairs total, so don’t sleep on this gorgeous leather. 

If you have any other questions regarding these TDD-02 derbies or the GMTO, please don’t hesitate to reach out via Instagram to Benzein (@benzeinshoes) or me (@thedenimdentist).
