#they would be a fun little friend group

[puppyeared]

Ouhhhh friendship I love friendship……..

#I’m reading volumes 14-16 of the ouran manga OOUGHHH MY HEART #I love this weird little friend group so much its unreal #like u have this charming sweeps you off your feet prince but he’s actually a huge lovable idiot with a kind heart and his friends #who are all misfits that he reached out to and drew in because of his kindness and own weirdness like that shits TIGHT BRO #and the trauma part where he has some deep seated issues with love bc he thinks that itll break a family apart like with his mom #how his family isnt allowed to be together because his mom and dad fell in love and how he says he wants to build a big house #so that way one day everyone will get along as a family like. all he wants is not to lose everyone and the only way to do that is #by maintaining a certain order.. he both wants a complete family so bad and doesnt want anything to sour between anyone #so he assigns each of his friends a family role based on how he sees them and YEAH its mostly played for giggles and tamakis #already weird so its his way of showing theyre close to him but. god damn this boy has LAYERS #it also feels kinda meta towards how found family tends to get thrown around to assign characters as 'siblings' or family roles instead of #using it to describe characters who are close enough to be each others family. cuz tamakis doing that EXACT THING in a way tht #ties in with his character and i have to say its fascinating using that within the story itself and its completely plausible #theres a lot of things i can say about ouran that are good bad and questionable but. god i love it when characters are niceys to each other #i remember i really liked the kyoya episode bc him and haruhi got to spend time together and their relationship isnt very close #but it was really nice to see their personalities bounce off each other. i think i also wouldve liked to see haruhi alone with kaoru #i also firmly believe all of the hosts are at least a little in love with haruhi and this can be anything like endearing romantic cuz like #who DOESNT love haruhi. kyoya i think would want to study her under a microscope like his fascination with her draws him in #but im fucking obsessed with whatever haruhi and tamaki have going on because YES hes obsessed with her YES he jumps at the chance to #put her in a cute costume but haruhi? she just fucking goes with it because she knows hes fun to be around even if hes a little wacky abt i #theyre all so. NNGGHHHH #ouran #ohshc #yapping

back on the subject of werehog related takes ive seen around that i disagree with. i dont particular like it when people have shadow somehow meet werehog sonic and then be a judgemental asshole about it . because like yeah sonic and shadow arent exactly best friends but they still respect eachother to some degree and considering shadow is an alien hybrid who was created in a lab shouldnt he have personal experience with the whole "being different in a way that others might consider weird and/or monstrous" thing . shadow giving sonic shit for the werehog stuff just doesnt really make sense to me

#well i dont think anybody in sonics friend group would care. hes their friend why would they judge him for something he cant control #i just mention shadow specifically because hes one of the only ones ive seen people make have a negative reaction of any kind #would he poke a little fun? i guess thats a possibility . would he be outright mean to sonic about it? no i dont really think he would

Songs: Amatsu (Phase 1) Amatsu (Phase 2)

20 days into April... welp! Time flies when you're drawing as much as you can after work eh? Today brings the god of winds, Amatsu, from the Monster Hunter series!

I remember when I first fought this big ol' wind sock of a dragon... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE OMG!! The music really struck a chord with me back in MHGens/GU, and if there's one thing I do miss in Rise, it's a little sound Amatsu makes as an audio queue for attacks. But either way, I LOVE THIS DRAGON A TON OMG!! And in MHRise??? I literally bought the DLC so fast just for Amatsu and they made this guy a true storm god, INCREDIBLE AAAH!

10000/10 would hunt multiple times just for fun again.

#fanart #monster hunter #favril #favril 2024 #mh #mh fanart #mhgu #monster hunter generations ultimate #monster hunter rise #mhr #mhsb #mh sunbreak #amatsu #Amatsumagatsuchi #i think i am the only one in my friend group who would unironically hunt amatsu #like just for fun #i know amatsu's patterns a little too well compared to others #still getting used to phase 2 in mhr though because i swear there's gotta be a way to dodge a certain storm cloud ring #and yes i got destroyed by the purple firework move #if you know you know #...i realize I forgot the hind legs on this guy and had to last minute draw them in #artist panic moment

Qing is so real for crawling into the laps of her FL and secondary FL. In a better, kinder world this drama would be queer af

#different princess #I think they should acknowledge that she's accidentally flirting with EVERYONE not just the crown prince #I think it would be way more fun to watch her trying to set up the crown prince with the coroner if they were both in love with her #Due to all the accidental flirting and gazing at both of them like they hung the stars #I also think the princess should have a crush on her and that would double poison dr.s hostility #He'd be like my best friend and my girlfriend are crushing on this horrible little know it all who is threatening my life plan #He'd be the only one in the friend group with anything like an objective perspective on Qing and he'd have to sit there and endure everyone #Else making eyes at her

you know what i want? i want enstars characters to have their own twt accounts paralive style bc imagine the content we could get like it would be so entertaining please tell me im not insane

#like i know im delusional i know this wouldnt happen BUT LET ME DREAM #ITS SO FUNNY AS A CONCEPT #imagine how many characters would have eichi blocked #imagine they start having beef on twitter #but then theres also cute things like little looks into their lives #them supporting each other #even for others who arent in their group like their friends #updates of something they did during the day #maybe even going to other characters lives #okay maybe i am insane about this idea #but i think its very entertaining and fun i love that paralive does it #enstars #paradox live

Anyone else ever get randomly smacked in the face with memories and immediately want to go write a kid fic?

Or is it just me?

#Aka Emile is remembering going camping with his friends as a small child #And how fucking chaotic it was #We were just allowed to run wild over the whole campground because our group rented the whole loop and everyone was watching out for everyo #I still managed to cross like 2 roads when I was 5 and got lost and they weren't busy but a stranger still stopped me to ask if I was lost #And all the boys would bring their lightsabers and nerf guns and we would have whole battles #We even made little forts in the woods and stuff and we were fighting to protect the 'dragon' (friend's dog) #I was always either the spy or the doctor #There was also the time my brothers thought it would be really fun to tell me to just pee in the woods instead of walking me to the bathroo #I was delighted #My parents were not #And the swimming hole was cold as fuck but we somehow still got in it every year #And jump off the giant rock in the deep end of the river once we were good enough swimmers to handle the current #Once or twice we went tubing there too which was my first experience with that #And there was hiking with waterfalls nearby so we'd go do that #And that one swinging bridge that was really fun to run across #And we'd stay for like a week sometimes #I swear all the parents got the best sleep ever when we went too even though they were sleeping on the ground lmao #all us kids would end up in each others tents if they were okay with it #And all I can think looking back at it now is that a les amis kidfic would be fun to write off all that #Emile's chaos #I have so many more camping memories too

While I’m on here i have to say its a goddamn tragedy that the jjba fandom went the basic portmanteau/mashup ship name route because its already full of music references so it would be really fun to get creative with it. In a just world fugonara would be called Strawberry Switchblade instead. A single tear is rolling down my face as i type.

#there is literally so much missed potential! #i love fun ship names #fugonara #narancia #fugo #this is a draft i typed alongside my last post #hence the while im on here part #well not anymore it's not #i don't want to tag fugo because i dont really like him #but i will for clarity's sake and for filtering purposes #to be clear it's not because i think he's a traitor i would actually like him a lot more if he was a traitor #i just think hes one-note and overhyped #a little boring to me #i actually do kinda like fugonara though their dynamic is cute #the best fugo-related thing to me is narancia #which kinda just says it all: he's not bad but the most interesting thing to me is the part where he's friends with someone else #he has his moments though #and if you like fugo great for you! i absolutely do not want to hear about it. but thats great #i might draw him in group things because his design is nice #but like. eh. #that's not the point of this though #jjba #jojo

Bitches will literally tell you a story that they were the villain of.

#rwde #''hey lets vent a little by listing all the ships we dont like for whatever reason'' someone get them help. they really think that's normal #y'all be talking about toxicity and then not even knowing what it looks like. #like iunno what you think toxic shipping behavior is SUPPOSED to look like but it looks like exactly this. that's not cute and normal. #like if just an ordinary group of friends did this? maybe. still sus. #but since you all self-indentified as fans of the same ship it just becomes a united front of haters circle-jerking themselves stupid. #not to mention the actual way this post reads like. girl? that's what you thought would make yourself look rational and other people petty? #like really? your go-to exaggerated example of something nasty or uncouth that someone would rabidly defend shipping is...that? #like obvious question 1) what exactly is wrong with gangbangs lol. sorry that you hate fun. #and obvious question 2) uhhh why when crafting a nominal objectioner did you specify 'black' like.......explain it. #tell me how that was supposed to come off because i don't know why you'd say that and not think 'this sounds really racist' unless..... #the whole wide world full of inc/st r/pe abu/se apologia on top of pe/do shit and the villain in your post is..... #someone shipping a pairing that contains a black man. okay.

My brain is doing some NOT VERY GREAT things rn, so I am EXTERNALIZING THE FEELINGS ONTO FICTIONAL MEN because that’s a healthier coping mechanism than the other options. (cw for suicidal ideation)

Jay’s been to the college library twice. Once because it was part of orientation, and once on his own in an attempt to do homework. He got one chapter into his assigned reading before a group of enthusiastic tennis juniors swept through and picked up anyone they recognized, and he hasn’t been back since. There’d been too many people around to focus on homework anyway. 

“I’m not doing homework.” 

Carlos thwacks his head. “I didn’t say we were doing homework, I said we’re going to the library. I know you don’t focus around other people.” 

Jay rolls onto his back, as far away as he can get in the confines of a twin bed. 

It’s not very far. 

“I don’t focus….anywhere.” 

Carlos winds a hand into his shirt to pull him back.

“Like I said, I know this game. You don’t focus anywhere because your brain thinks you’d be better off dead, and it won’t listen to anything that’s not getting it to that goal. You’re not going to shout over it, so you’re got to sneak around it.”

#this doesn’t get tags or anything #it’s just…..some of the thots I am having about my special little guys #in my heart Jay is the guy who is so so focused on caring about his crew #that he doesn’t know how to exist without them #and this manifests itself in a HORRIBLE attempt at a first semester of college #where he doesn’t know how to function around the void where his people should be #and like. #Evie is off having fun in the city for her own first semester and sending the group chat cute daily selfies and OOTD pics #and Mal is learning magic now that she’s out of high school and enjoying the hell out of herself #and talking about all the stuff her mom never told her #and finding her people now that she’s able to get outside the Auradon Prep bubble #and it’s just…..that relatable college feeling where all of your friends are THERE on the phone #but they’re not really there the same way as they were #and you can’t be the downer who talks about it #but you can’t help but wonder what would happen if you just….. #gave up #anyway!! We love to write our feelings away!!!

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified

#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing #i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though #at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself #as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed #escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date #although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL #ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting #workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety #i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back #AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO #im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts #i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem #in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material #and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school #maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess #only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard #hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms #i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work #not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall #anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh #yapping

People act like it was SO much easier to make friends as a kid but honestly I think the only benefit to socializing as a kid that isn't afforded to us adults all that often is that you usually have a second activity to do with yourself if it doesn't work out.

When you were 6 and went somewhere to socialize, it was usually a park, library, or class where you could do other things. When you're an adult you're ONLY expected to socialize (and maybe eat) most of the time, especially at parties.

But like... in every other respect its so much easier to socialize as a grown up. Do the people who say this not remember being bullied super openly or going somewhere to socialize and being the only kid your age at an event and everyone *SCREAMING* and running around you with their already made friends??? I can just walk up and introduce myself to anyone now if I'm expected to socialize. They don't even have to be the same age as me and they don't scream or have a meltdown if you say something wrong.

#watched a play group at my library today and had a little bit of a flashback #im an age regressor but i do not miss being a kid in that respect #would be fun with other regressors because they probably wont be so loud and most of us can age slide #up or down a little so its not like 'ew youre 5? im 7 we cant be friends' #also autism and stuff #goat talk

i havent been to karaoke since i met my gf lol and i used to feel sort of bad, but i think (unless invited by friends ofc) the only reason i was doing it was to feel some kind of gender recognition from other people. now that i have a gf + friends who just get it all the time anyway i don't need to seek that from a crowd!

#i was worried at first that i was abandoning a beloved hobby for a relationship #but even tho it's fun i think going every week was not necessarily great for my liver or wallet #and also the bar i go to is a good 15 mi from home. so i think it's a bit safer that i'm not driving all that way after drinking anymore lo #i DO hope a little group gets together sometime soon tho. would love to do it w friends :>

Things I think about Jackson and Jillson

After they get away from Curtain, I definitely agree that they would live with SQ and Martina in Stonetown.

Jillson gets a job at a bookstore, and she learns that she just loves reading. There weren't a lot of books at the Institute, but SQ's apartment is right next to a bookstore that the Benedict humans frequent, so he's friends with the staff and vouches for Jillson.

Her favourite thing to read is poetry, and she spends all her breaks reading through whatever she can get her hands on. The owners are really nice, and let her borrow whatever books she wants since she's so incredibly careful with them. A couple of times she even tried writing her own poetry, but she keeps it a little secret journal and doesn't let anyone see it. (Except SQ one time and he said it was really good but she felt horribly self-conscious and they never spoke of it again)

Jackson starts working at a pet store, through a similar relationship SQ has with the owners. At first, he is extremely hesitant and only does menial work like restocking and sweeping. But one day one of the puppies escapes and Jackson happens to be nearby. It runs right at him, and even though it scares him a little he catches it, and when the person in charge gets over there, the puppy is totally calm.

They put him in for a trial period, and after a couple days he gets over his fear and does great. He's much happier working with the animals, and he gets to be one of the head dog trainers. All of the critters love him, and he gets a pet snake at some point, since they can't have dogs in the apartment building. (It's a little corn snake and he names him Jason and he loves him)

One day Mr. Benedict and some of the others come to the bookstore, and Jillson freaks out. She hasn't spoken to them since Curtain, and they'd begged SQ not to tell the Benedicts about them staying with him, so she isn't sure how to react. She isn't even paying attention initially, because she's reading, but when they all come up to the cash register she looks up and freezes. In the end, she just does her job without making eye contact or speaking if she can help it.

Mr. B and the kids try to make her comfortable, though Constance almost asks point-blank what she's doing there, but Reynie shushes her. Jillson comes home that day utterly mortified and locks herself in the bathroom to hyperventilate over the situation. Jackson eventually gets her to come out, and they talk through it.

Jillson feels like they probably hate her, and while she knows better now, neither of them were especially kind to the kids while they were at the Institute. Jackson also regrets his decisions, but right then he's more concerned about Jillson, who has decided she's going to quit her job and never leave the apartment again.

However, once Jackson's mostly got her calmed down, there's a knock at the door. The bookstore owners had been talking about how much help Jillson was, and how excited she got when they let her borrow books, so the kids wanted to bring some of their own for her to look at.

SQ lets them in, and of course J&J are terribly nervous, and Jackson tries to cover it by acting super polite and distracting them from Jillson, who has gotten very quiet, but Sticky and Constance go over and start talking to her about her favourite poets, and once SQ tells them that Jackson is working at the pet shop Reynie and Kate have a lot of questions for him about that.

So the two of them relax, and Mr. Benedict invites them over for dinner, and though they're reluctant, SQ and Martina do a lot of cajoling (Since they're way more comfortable with the Benedicts at this point), and they all go. At the end of the night, both them have apologised to each person at least twice, and they thank Mr. Benedict profusely for being so kind to them.

He, of course, is very gracious and tells them they're welcome any time.

A few days later, the two of them show up with (Slightly burnt) cookies and a full apology speech. It takes them a while to understand that they don't have to work for forgiveness, but Martina and SQ help, and they all end up happier for it

#Sorry this got a bit long #I just was considering how much fun it would be for them to have their little #Friend group apartment like people talk about sometimes #I wanted to add more Martina and SQ but this was already so long #This is just me but I think Jillson's favourite poet would be Emily Dickinson #Because of her free rhyming style and melancholy writings. But also for her more hopeful ones #I also really want Jackson to get a puppy at some point too. Maybe a lab #I think he'd name it “Barley” or something #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #jackson and jillson #jackson mbs #jillson mbs #sq curtain #martina crowe #nicholas benedict #mr. benedict

i'm so normal about all the things swimming around in my head right now, i'm chewing on the walls

#born to christen the new sketchbook with cool things #forced to write out backstory #I love DnD I love playing it I love my characters I love character building in a vacuum #BUT #as soon as I have a group and need to be ready in a week I die #inner critic at volume 100 every idea I ever had is bad actually and I keep getting lost in details #'divination wizard that studies divination to figure out how to evade a prophecy' sounds so fun on paper #especially with the added flavor of 'they're from a cult devoted to the god of divination and left them behind for this' #but like #to fill that out #aughhh #is the person that would be harmed in the prophecy a sibling or friend? #are they part of the cult or not? #who are the people in the cult? #what's the family situation actually? #so much to consider #I'm thinking maybe in the cult and really devoted so they don't want to leave and will resent my character for trying to save them #but still sibling or friend? #mh #honestly chances are this will have very minor involvement actually because the campaign is in one city and they hail from a different one #but still #I'm just rambling to the void cause it helps me think lmao #congrats to whoever actually reads my tags #I also haven't even decided if I play a gnome or dragonborn or maybe a tiefling afterall agh #tbf that has little bearing on the character but that's the ISSUE I have nothing to tie in

The urge to start a podcast with friends where all we do is read those cringe 'I got silde to one direction' y/n fics in very bad accents

I just want to have fun with people

#also im desperately looking for a little camcorder bc i want to do fun little friend vlogs when i go out with friends #like it would be so fun especially since im the memory keeper of my friend groups #always taking pics and vids of everyone #lashfaz ramblings
