actually here’s an interesting question that’s been in my head for a hot minute now: what do you think a crusch if/other faction if would look like?

one of my favorite characters has always been crusch (probably my favorite aside from julius?), and interestingly it was the moment after the battle of the white whale that sold her for me- her convo with subaru was so genuine and full of respect and it since then has stood out amongst my favorites since it’s one of the first times subaru outside of the emilia camp was recognized for his decisions ^_^

it also piqued my interest because there’s definitely implications/said somewhere that if subaru met crusch first he’d choose her, which makes me think about how that dynamic would play out, ya know? like we haven’t really gotten a huge expansion on crusch herself as we have with anastasia/pricilla and soon felt

also a crusch: if would toootally have different relationships defining wilhelm & felix too and basically everyone else lol

love ur analyses keep up da good work fam!!!!!!!

YO its cool seeing a crusch fan around :DD !! also thank you very much for liking my analysis posts pfft. also whew….. ive been writing my answer for this ask on and off for a while hah its super long oops wkdndnsn

but ok its super interesting to hear what drew you to crusch in the first place - crusch is a character im definitely interested in (i would LOVE to see her finally expanded upon!!) and shes such a respectable person for sure <3 and you definitely have a point that its one of the first time subaru outside of the emilia camp was recognized!! though i didnt know that there were implications that if subaru met crusch first he'd choose her - i suppose that makes sense in that subaru really respects and likes crusch, and hes such a moldable character - for lack of a better term - bc its sooo easy for him to go in all sorts of different directions. a crusch if is an interesting possibility and im sure it absolutely wouldve happened in some form in some other universe :O !!

alright. as for a crusch if - yeah youre right, thered be such a different dynamic between subaru, the crusch camp, and everyone around them. :o im not Entirely sure how a crusch if would go but i certainly have ideas!!! though im not sure if im entirely an expert on them given i still havent finished the wilhelm-centric ex novels or read many crusch camp stories, but i did read ex 1 and 4 and enjoyed them quite a lot <3 along with you know, the main route. but i do really like the crusch camp and i hope theyre expanded upon eventually.

gonna put More thoughts under the cut (note that i have a Lot of opinions on the crusch camp hah):

ok first of all. i think that the crusch camp Does have a little wasted potential in canon and i think that crusch if is the perfect opportunity to explore Everything with crusch camp. just in the sense that you know, crusch hasnt been expanded upon just yet. not that felt has been expanded upon much either but at least we get a lot of details about her and her whole backstory with being a member of the royal family + her relationship with rom opens itself up to a lot of possibilities (theres a lot of History going around in the felt camp regarding felt, reinhard, carol and grimm, rom, etc being in the same camp given their family connections, demihuman war history, etc).

and not that we Dont get details about crusch of course, but i feel that even in her Own centric content, shes a little overshadowed by Everyone else sometimes. like i WANT to focus more on crusch as a person!! she gets cool moments yeah, but as much as i enjoyed reading ex1 im forever gonna be salty that her plot in ex1 was like about people having problems with her gender expression (ill go into this again later bc i know its connected to that plot point of crusch as a noble leader vs crusch as. a woman.) for more than half the runtime and everyone around her was discussing about what to do with her. and then in main route shes put through the RINGER between being cut down by gluttony, having her memories erased, and the dragon blood in arc 5 - and yet it STILL feels like the story doesnt focus enough on HER own pain. how is SHE feeling about this????? shes getting her shit rocked left and right and her sense of identity is being shaken along with it (see: her becoming more shy and withdrawn after her memories are gone) and yet i feel like we STILL dont hear about her Directly enough T^T

and also i Dont like that in the main route, the crusch camps connections to the royal family (with wilhelm being assigned to aid the royal family and bc of that heinkel was assigned to the white whale and so theresia went in heinkels stead + ferris and crusch's relationships with fourier) ARENT that explored. esp when like felt comes into play publically in arc 3 and the crusch camp BARELY REACTS. YOU THINK THEY WOULD REACT MORE TO FELT BEING HERE AND REINHARD SPONSORING FELT. its especially kind of painful after you read ex1 and its like ?? so why didnt they react more to felt being there??? related to + looking exactly like crusch and ferris's dead boyfriend, nonetheless, esp when their goal is to kill the dragon bc the royal family all died as far as they knew and NOW theres someone in the royal family that actually lived???? whos a rival for the throne now??? also i feel like the potential of like. ferris and wilhelms dynamic isnt explored either. like i have to wonder how they seem like theyre on decent/good terms in canon when ferris is friends with reinhard, wilhelms role in the demihuman war, and also wilhelm fucking up his family (with ferris being Aware of a lot of reinhards family situation, of course). and also of course wilhelm has Things going on with rom and carol and grimm bc demihuman war... ex novel things...

so like i think that inherently the crusch and felt camps ARE kind of sort of intertwined in this way bc of ALL these reasons. so i think if youre exploring crusch camp content all of this SHOULD be acknowledged. or maybe thats the felt camp fan in me talking but i DO GENUINELY THINK THE CRUSCH AND FELT CAMPS ARE CONNECTED A LOT ☝️☝️☝️

and so ok back to crusch if things!!!! i have no idea how the Exact plot goes but like i think this is all very dependent on how the crusch if divergence even starts. which Makes sense but yeah :o i mean i feel like i can only see it happening right from the get go in arc 1. and also this goes with what you said - if subaru met them first he'd probs choose to join them. but tbh i also kinda sort of like the possibility that maybe at least Some of arc 1 still happened in another font so subaru can be like "yeah lol this blond girl with red eyes was there along with this giant dude and t -" and crusch and ferris are thinking "OK IT COULD BE ANY RANDOM GIRL WITH BLOND HAIR AND RED EYES THATS NOT A COMPLETE GUARANTEE ITS SOMEONE FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY RIGHT??" and also wilhelms gonna vaguely go "hey whats this giants name again....." anyway yeah gotta plant those seeds for future plot things???? yes. also its a good segue into subaru learning more crusch camp related history yes. maybe that (subarus arc 1 info) is what allows him to join crusch camp too????? yeah im having trouble brainstorming ideas on how he even joins the camp but im guessing its a “subaru accidentally stumbles across stuff and crusch camp is like well i guess we just Kinda have to let you in……. like taking pity on a stray kitten…… maybe youll be useful… and also we do pity you a bit yeah you seem very lost” thing. 👍👍👍

(or alternatively you could have subaru branch off into crusch camp at arc 3 or smth given hes like actually physically at their place and away from emilia camp now but at the same time i doubt that could even happen given the position he was in arc 3???? like post-royal selection drama?? yeah i dont really see it happening imo HAH)

anyway. yeah so its like. inevitably subaru is gonna figure out you know the history behind all of the others in the crusch camp. like whether thats by doing his own research - especially bc you know wilhelm, crusch, ferris are all very well known by this point and have all kinds of rumors and info on them flying around - and also like. by getting closer with everyone. i think that if subaru joined crusch camp early, either he knows hes got rbd bc of arc 1 and manages to avoid it for a while, is my guess, given crusch camp doesnt get involved in life threatening things until. the white whale.

but until then i think subarus probably not gonna die. and i think hes probs gonna be in Fear of that happening again, maybe he blocks out a bit of arc 1 some more bc ahhaah i havent died or anything in so long so surely that never happened. maybe he tries to tell crusch once he gets closer with her or maybe he doesnt try at all bc hahaha did that even happen???? or maybe he asks her about her dp and if its Only about truths from that persons pov rather than Fact and shes like "yeah no its personal truths only, so even if someone is completely wrong about a fact but Believes it wholeheartedly its still gonna register as the truth" and hes like FUCK ok. smth like that?? yes. gotta give him inner turmoil even when hes not actively in danger. bc he Would have that yes. but either way i think he’d be curious and wanna know the specifics of her dp anyway!!!

yeah so anyway the white whale happens and subarus whole shit gets wrecked oops.... and my guess is that you know hes gonna loop a whole shit ton of times and its gonna be complete and utter hell for him. but also this is kind of a little bit dependent on how exactly the royal selection goes for him - but i HIGHLY doubt itd go the same as canon. i doubt he’d even make a scene, tbh—i mean assuming subaru joins crusch camp very early somehow, between crusch and ferris and wilhelm the three of them are gonna Really whip him into shape. metaphorically beat his s1 flaws out of him. bc like—i mean in canon subaru Did learn and grow yes, but he didnt Have to learn everything so harshly (ok but canon subaru Did have to get beat in the duel though or he wouldve died skcbsnd but i still think that subaru can still learn the same lessons more Gently whenever possible. hes a normal teenage boy trying his best!!). i think crusch camp would be good for him in this way, i mean crusch is a very duty-focused person and ferris and wilhelm are blunt people. ferris especially is not gonna take any bullshit wkdndnd (ESPECIALLY when subaru could humiliate crusch and the entire camp) and wilhelm sees himself in subaru and is gonna go “ah…….. you should. not act like that. let me train you.” and ALSO im a firm believer and enjoyer in the reinhard-ferris-julius friendship and i think that reinhard ESPECIALLY must have communicated with crusch camp about felt before arc 3, otherwise crusch camp wouldve had a stronger reaction to felts grand entrance into the royal selection. also if subarus getting closer to crusch camp then of course he figures out stuff like the reinhard-ferris-julius friendship.

again not entirely sure about specific plot beats but depending on how things go emilia camp may or may not get royally fucked (as an emilia camp enjoyer im very saddened by this 😔) but i DO feel like subaru would still be sympathetic towards them in a crusch if. and also theres Definitely gonna be at least one loop during arc 3 where the white whale Does erase crusch and wilhelm and ferris goes insane (like how they end up in pride if. yeah.) so subaru gets to see the consequences if they lose to the white whale. but i DO think that the final loop should still have the consequences of crusch being targeted by gluttony and losing her memories. its interesting to explore!!! especially if subaru himself still becomes a victim of gluttony in some way—maybe they both become victims of gluttony there?? or it happens to subaru later?? and i feel like arc 5 is Definitely another opportunity for some crazy looping. for sure.

also roswaal may want to try some shit bc Why is subaru in another camp this is not according to plan. so more opportunities to torture subaru 👍👍👍 and also crusch camp in canon keeps taking one L after another so you know. familiar territory in terms of how subaru and co are doing 😭😭😭😭

but anyway. i think a crusch camp and felt camp alliance (or Almost alliance?) is in order bc. well we know subaru he tries to fix things. hes nosy. he learns eventually All the crusch camp history and is like ok so why arent we allies with felt camp at least for rn??? like urging wilhelm to make it up with reinhard and such, etc etc. and crusch and felt are the candidates that are both Very deeply unsatisfied with the current system of lugunica and want to remake everything to be better!! and also like. how does ferris even feel about wilhelm. i lowkey want crusch if to have a plot beat where ferris-crusch-subaru metaphorically beat up wilhelm for being Terrible. actually scratch lowkey i want highkey. and i think crusch is just like yeah sorry i do respect you in a lot of ways wilhelm and youre a very key member in our camp and i appreciate it but also fighting against demihumans in the demihuman war + being awful to your family was definitely. 😬 ESPECIALLY since she grew up with ferris too okay. she and her dad literally took in ferris after being stuck in a basement for the first nine years of his life. and while ferris and reinhards family situations are Very Different, the common thread is generational trauma and Passed Down abilities/traits that also relate to the trauma so. i feel like ferris at Least has some secret strong feelings about wilhelm ok i dont care what tappei has to say on this (actually i do care but i will care less if tappei has a bad take on this bc ferris and reinhard are FRIENDS + WILHELM WAS WRONG FOR THE DEMIHUMAN WAR ok ferris was horribly abused also bc of fantasy racism).

and alright ok im gonna talk about some more crusch-ferris-subaru dynamics bc subaru and wilhelm are most likely gonna fall into their weird grandson-grandfather dynamic again. especially now that subarus in crusch camp.

so—gender expression. the way crusch-ferris-subaru dress and their relationships with this part of their identities. personally i hc all three of them as nonbinary but of course u can have different hcs/opinions than me :o either way though, gender expression is Very important to all three of them and its given focus in the plot multiple times so im gonna try to examine how its handled in canon a bit!! theres this one bit from the arc 5 wn that i think about a lot:

so you know, subaru has his internalized issues, toxic masculinity for one, so hes struggling with like. being a man but also like he genuinely enjoys crossdressing but also hes been judged for it in the past and he has?? complicated feelings on it. hes struggling with his identity and who he is in many many different ways and gender is one key aspect of it. and then he comes along and crusch and ferris BASICALLY challenge him and his internalized ideas on it—crusch being a woman who dresses more masculine and ferris being a man who dresses more feminine. they challenge even the fantasy world’s society too—crusch more so, bc shes a woman and in the public eye due to her family and shes expected to dress and behave the way a noblewoman should. more feminine. but she refuses which is a point of contention in ex1 of course…

ferris seems to get less scrutiny from the public on this (at least for This exact reason, we only see subaru iirc judge him for it on screen) but my guess is bc he 1. can easily pass as a girl and 2. he has other more Noticeable traits to the public (having the Blue title and being demihuman for example). but also theres another aspect to ferris and its that he also dresses femininely to represent “the feminine side crusch lacks” iirc…. which. to be quite frank thats. that feels a little odd to me but anyway im gonna choose to look into it a bit regardless bc i think it could potentially be interesting maybe?? but also the fourier-crusch duel in ex1 already felt off to me wkfndnd it was such a fun scene but like??? why are we policing what crusch wants to wear??? but. anyway.

so about ferris being “the feminine side crusch lacks”……. ferris and crusch's gender expression are completely opposite, ferris being feminine of course and crusch being masculine. ferris and crusch are very much like each others equal halves in canon - you dont find one without the other, theyre basically a pair (especially given they fit together into this perfect trio with fourier and now fouriers gone :(( ). ferris and crusch balance each other out in a lot of ways, especially given ferris's mischevious yet perceptive personality and crusch being more serious but a bit airheaded with emotional matters. and also both of them being more blunt honest people. so like their gender expression balances each other out bc theyre opposites. ferris wants to keep balancing out crusch, whos so focused on duty that her needs and her desires and emotions sometimes go by the wayside (id personally attribute at least a tiny bit of her airheadedness with emotions to this too - when you have so much responsibilities to attend to, your emotions often take a backseat. especially when you take into account people judging crusch for how she expresses herself....).

but also ferris does note that "because crusch-sama said this suits ferris, what i am, i am, and this most suits the radiance of ferris' soul. crusch-samas words, ferris will repay with everything that i am". im gonna interpret this as crusch recognizing that ferris truly likes to express his appearance in a feminine way and providing ferris with the means and support to do so, especially since crusch herself growing up also prefers to express herself as opposite to her biological sex and also bc crusch and her family took in ferris so they grew up together. which i think is very sweet <3

and also more regarding crusch, in canon she expresses herself more femininely after getting her memories wiped by gluttony........... i think there might (emphasis on Might) be vaguely a kind of "feminine=weak and masculine=strong thats why crusch goes back to being feminine after memories gone" undertone if you choose to see it that way but im Electing to ignore it. i think crusch's change in expression post-gluttony though like emphasizes how her identity gets shaken after her memories are erased. she was a confident person before and now shes more timid and withdrawn bc she isnt sure of herself or her abilities anymore :(( which is definitely smth that should be explored in Any crusch camp centric content, i think.

anyway. yeah also i def think the ferris-crusch-subaru gender things should be explored. its already briefly touched on in canon with stuff like that arc 5 wn snippet i shared, but i do think subaru being friends with ferris and crusch will help him with confidence regarding how he likes to express himself as well. which i think would be very sweet to explore <3 (sorry this briefly derailed into a ferris-crusch-subaru gender expression analysis but this part of their characters is important i feel aljdlfjsldfj and its SUCH good parallel between them)

as for general dynamics stuff between the three of them. i think ferris is on the fence about subaru at first and goes from "hes an idiot..." to "hes an idiot <3" i have no specific thoughts on this at the moment thats just the vibe thats probably happening. maybe a bit of the same with crusch but yes im sure crusch and ferris of course grow to respect subaru, and im sure they notice pretty quick that subaru wears his emotions on his sleeve. hes an honest person in almost all things, or at least he tries to be, unless hes being held at gunpoint to keep things secret bc rbd lajdlfjl. and we Know subaru is a very respectable person whos Really good at heart, he just had all these hurdles to get through. and also - subaru is a tiny bit similar to fourier in terms of like Loud, Passionate, Determined, kind of an idiot in a few ways but a Lovable one, that sort of thing. of course ferris and crusch are VERY MUCH not going to be replacing fourier. absolutely not they would never in a million years. but fourier like Really fit in with ferris and crusch bc of the three of them having different personality traits, so i think subaru would fit well with ferris and crusch for similar reasons. if that makes sense. the energies just match up. ferris and subaru particularly bring a lot of fun and lightheartedness and ease weight on crusch’s shoulders, crusch supports them both, and all three of them reel each other in in different ways <3

ok also regarding any romance............ personally i dont see the appeal of crusch x subaru but thats just me lajsdlfjls and also my heart got stolen by fourier x ferris x crusch oops. plus i do enjoy the ferris and subaru + subaru and crusch friendship possibilities. but if anyones reading this and is a fan of crusch x subaru feel free to send me propaganda for it bc im very curious as to what makes you really like the ship <3

yeah so anyway. this has been my extremely long explanation as to how crusch if could maybe go and also all sorts of stuff id love to see explored when it comes to crusch if or crusch camp centered content in general <3 its hard to tell how a crusch if would go further down the line bc you know, the more that changes from main route the more things go Different, but i think its fascinating to think about. hope this kind of answered your question op? :O :D !!

ok but as for other camps. i have absolutely no clue how itd go but ana camp would Definitely have to involve subaru trying to invent things that carry on from earth and such and felt camp Absolutely involves more trying to solve more astrea drama. no specific thoughts on this yet (ALSO I STILL HAVENT CAUGHT UP ON ANA CAMP SIDE STORIES... ONE DAY. I SWEAR.) but you know, lots of interesting possibilities here!! :O

#rezero #crusch karsten #ferris argyle #felix argyle #natsuki subaru #wilhelm van astrea #i always forget to tag both of ferris's names fr....#ask #tldr i really like crusch camp they got a lot of potential for exploration and i hope theyre explored more bc theyre very interesting <33 #and i think crusch and ferris sadly have their characters flattened a lot in english fic :((( theyre so fascinating they deserve so much #better #AND CRUSCH DESERVES TO SHINE EVEN MORE THAN SHE ALREADY DOES IN HER MOST BADASS MOMENTS

Has there ever been a "good" adaptation of Wuthering Heights? Seems to me that they all miss the mark over some aspect of the book...

An interesting and provocative question! When it comes to adaptation, I confess, I tend to be against the idea of single "marks" to hit (except when it comes to Sherlock Holmes being fundamentally kind. There are probably other items on my shortlist if I think of them. But still.) That said: Wuthering Heights is such a weird book that is so centrally dependent on one of English literature's most unreliable narrators -- I said what I said -- that I think it's very hard to adapt. Adaptations with good and even great casts have been boring (I feel as though I should revisit the 2009 BBC version, but I don't want to force myself through it. And then there's the Fiennes/Binoche pairing, which, whew, but the adaptation is Not Good.) I liked the 2004 Italian miniseries. Andrea Arnold's film is visually stylish and committed both to a gothic view of nature and Heathcliff's racial otherness/othering, which I think are both super-important. I saw not too long ago that there's another planned WH adaptation with a white Heathcliff and... really? going back to that? Choices made, etc.

All that said, I have to say that I really respect and enjoy the 1939 film, which just... totally abandons the multi-generational saga (oops) but is extremely visually stylish, extremely moody, and can boast a sharp 1930s script, the great Flora Robson as Nelly Dean, and the most beautiful Cathy and Heathcliff, unlikely to be superseded in this superlative. And I feel as though they both get their characters. When Merle Oberon says "This is me, forever" I tear up every time. And if you don't feel Olivier's "Haunt me, Cathy" somewhere in your rib cage, well, I don't know what to say.

Hey beautiful!! I was wondering if you could do a COD match-up for me???

I’m a 5’9 girl, very chubby and… well-endowed in the bosom (embarrassing but necessary I believe). 19 years old. I’ve got lots of tattoos. Long brown hair, green eyes, occasionally wear glasses but mainly plain contacts. I’m a musician as well.

I like to wear dresses and skirts, kinda switching between grunge/goth styles?? I love to cook, clean, etc… def wanna be a housewife and stay-at-home-mom someday. I’m working as a nanny right now :)

I’m American but of German/Dutch descent (grandmother was born and raised in the Netherlands). I’m from Louisiana (closer to Texas) so I’ve got a southern accent but can cook some mean cajun food.

I’m pretty shy but get flirty when I’m nervous or scared. Love going to record stores and music shops, especially local!!

You can write whatever you want because it’s adorable, but I’m cool with either N/SFW. Thanks in advance, sugar plum!!!

🤔 I pair you with...

Phillip Graves ♠️

I think ol' Phil here would be your match

He met you when you both bumped into each other

"Oops, I'm so sorry"

"That's alright, darlin'. No harm done."

"It'll take more than that to knock me over"

When he smirked, you couldn't help to feel your heart skip a beat

He was handsome, no doubt about that

You small smiled and went on your way, your heart pounding in your chest

In random places in town you'd spot him

If he sees you, he'll come up to you and try to talk to you

He really likes you and will be flirty with you

Calling you gorgeous, beautiful, sweetheart, etc.

You soon found out he was quite charming underneath the playful winks and flirts

One time when you went shopping for just a some things to cook with, he saw you carrying bags in hand

"Mind if I help you with those?"

"Oh... uhm... I don't mind."

You felt your cheeks burn rosy pink

Phillip brings a lot of the bags in and follows you to your kitchen

He smells the meat you had slow cooking

He was salivating

"Whew, it smells so good in here!"

You let him stay the evening for dinner and...

Absolutely loves your food

He'll eat till he can't anymore

"You'll be the perfect wife to some lucky man"

You couldn't stop blushing and smiling and giggling

He wanted to be that lucky man...

But he didn't want to jump straight into it, in case you weren't ready

"Do you... have a fella yet?"

"No..."

"Are you interested in looking for one?"

His arms are crossed against his chest as he's leaning back a little in his chair

"Yeah... It be nice to settle down with someone"

You told him that you wanted to be a house wife...

He was right saying you'd make the perfect wife

You were ready

"Well, I'm sure he'll come knocking when he finds you"

❤

You were so happy and full of joy when he asked you to be his

"We'll take it slow, step by step, honey. Alright?"

"Yeah. Alright."

He gently smiled at you and gave you a soft, slow, lingering kiss as he held a side of your face in his hand and his thumb brushing over your cheek

When he comes home from missions, he finds you waiting for him with open arms

Tight hugs and kisses all over your face

"I've missed you, baby."

He feels like he's in heaven because all of this, and having you, was just too perfect for words

Ibara Saegusa - Classified Documents

Event: Two Sides◆The 2×2 of Lies And Truth

Episode 1:

(Location: CosPro Offices)

Ibara: …… Whew. For now, all the documents are organized.

Please don’t thank me over and over. It’s only natural for me to help Producer-dono……☆

I’m always available to help, if you’re alright with that.

Option 1: Thank you.

Ibara: I’d like to just say “You’re welcome,” but…… To begin with, wasn’t it impossible for you to handle this amount of material on your own?

Even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself, I think if you had relied on someone from the start, the work would have been completed much faster.

Option 2: I’ll pay you back next time.

Ibara: I paid for the help myself, so there’s no need for you to worry……

So, let’s say you owe me one. If I ever need your help, I’ll be sure to contact you.

Option 3: Sorry for taking up your time.

Ibara: Hm, Anzu-san is as humble as ever. That may be seen as a virtue by the other idols……

Anyway, don’t worry about me. I’m used to dealing with documents of this size all the time.

Episode 2:

(Location: CosPro Offices)

Ibara: So, what is this vast amount of material for?

Like you, I’m also in the position of being a producer. I think I have the right to ask that much.

…… Materials for a new program? That’s not a very clear answer. Is there something you’re trying to keep secret?

Option 1: I’m sorry!

Ibara: …… Oops. If you bow your head that vigorously, the papers you’re holding will start an avalanche.

I realize there are circumstances that make a reserved person like Anzu-san apologise. Please don’t bow your head repeatedly.

Option 2: Uummm……

Ibara: Your eyes wandered, you’re at a loss for words, and you hesitated…… Your agitation and impatience are showing too much in your attitude.

It’s okay if you just tell me you can’t reveal it yet. As someone who works in the same industry, I can’t say that I don’t understand the situation.

Option 3: You’re perceptive.

Ibara: Ahaha☆ If you reply like that, it’s like you’re confessing that there are things you want to keep secret.

Well, I won’t force you to confess. If it’s a job you’re involved in, chances are I’ll have a chance to find out about it someday.

Episode 3:

(Location: CosPro Offices)

Ibara: …… Hm? Excuse me, I received a message from His Highness Hiyori. Pardon me while I check my phone.

Hm. His Highness was asking “When are you coming?” I should have told him I would be late due to work to begin with……

It’s nothing, I was just planning to have dinner with Eden tonight. Come to think of it, it’s almost time for the meeting to begin.

Option 1: You have to go soon……!

Ibara: I’ll head over once I see that you’ve safely delivered the finished documents.

Therefore, please be careful to not accidentally fall or cause the documents to fall apart. …… Then, take care.

Option 2: Sorry, it’s my fault.

Ibara: It’s not an issue. As I said earlier, I had originally planned to join them late.

However, if I wait too long, His Excellency and Jun will likely press me to hurry up……I’ll close the office and head out.

Option 3: Are you gonna be alright?

Ibara: He doesn’t seem angry, so don’t worry. The restaurant is nearby, so I can get there right away,

The restaurant has a good reputation for its taste and atmosphere. If you accept my invitation, I’ll introduce it to you next time.

OOC thoughts on Striker's Mental State, And my hopes for his Recovery

(Long post)

I've seen a lot of people say this guys going on his joker arc now, which I completely get, but it also made me realize something with Striker that to me works with that. Plenty of people have criticized characters like the Joker for dramaticizing and demonizing (lol) mentally ill people, and there right. Instead of getting help to process and cope with their problems and trauma, there beaten senseless and carted off to a place where the average neurotypical citizen doesn't have to deal with them.

So what does this have to with Striker? Well anyone who saw Oops can tell he's not well in the head, his ego keeps getting beaten down, and here he snaps, fully ready to kill someone he barely knows to get back at Blitz, and then loses again, which may even scar him as some people have suspected, he was set on fire after all.

Thing is the ego he seems to put a lot of stake in has beaten into the dirt and the nervous and fragile wreck of a man is coming to show itself, and you know what? I don't want him to die

I understand this show is very much not his story, he's not a main character, he's is by every definition an antagonist, and if Viv kills him off I won't be all that surprised, its a completely fair writing choice to make the guy who goes up against the main crew of murderers to run out of luck and get offed, it makes sense to do that.

But at the same time, he's not all that far gone, his hate for royals is not for hate's sake, he's clearly been hurt before and that shaped him into what he is, his offer to Blitz during Harvest Moon, it does seem like he means it, he sees the relationship between him and Stolas as restrictive and offers him a chance to break free and get back at the system.

In fact him and Blitz seem to have a lot in common, as my friend @rodeoblitz pointed out, Striker almost seems like how Blitz would be without his friends, alone and vengeful. Like a dark mirror almost. and that especially makes me hope Striker gets help, he can be more then a cautionary tale to Blitz or "Whew, glad I didn't turn out like that guy!"

This show is very brutally honest with mental illness and trauma, Blitz and Moxxie especially show this. So I really hope they are more tactful with Striker, cause there is still a person under there, all that pain and hurt, and I really hope I.M.P and especially Blitz sees that.

Maybe after a rough fight, Blitz sees Striker desperately trying to get up, and realizes just how desperate he is, how sad and hurt and for once, he pities him, kicking and tossing their guns away and just proceeding to tell him that this needs to stop, and that what Striker is doing is helping noone, least of all himself. That there is hope for happiness for him, but this struggle isn't it, cause when Blitz spent so many years, hopelessly alone and miserable, maybe when he sees an oppurtunity to give someone the hope he never had in that situation he takes it.

I don't know, I know I'm bad at laying it out but I just hope Striker gets help, noone owes him anything for sure but I just hope his story ends well, cause he's clearly hurting, and despite all that he's done, I'd really love for the show make it clear he can be happy despite how unhinged his life has made him. Plus having a redeemed Striker pop up on occasion would be awesome, plus would love I.M.P roasting him for everything and he just grumbles as he helps out.

Any way that's my thoughts, no hate on whatever actually happens, Vivs story after all, but, personal feelings on a character I've grown to love, despite him being against most of the others I love XP

(TLDR I'd really like if Striker gets some help with his mental state, instead of just being an iredeemable villain, high hopes but still.)

A Tale of Mangoes

Day 5 Kate Week: Sisters

"Katie, please climb down. It's okay. I don't want any more mangoes." Six-year-old Edwina's anxious shouts came from the ground to Kate, half a dozen mangoes already lying on a pile near her.

Kate stood on the branch of a massive mango tree situated to the far west of their family plot. She must have been almost 10 feet off the ground and she, being the older sister by a whole four years, was not deterred by little Edwina's shouts. She ignored them and continued climbing.

She had promised Edwina that she will give her the juiciest mango that she has ever eaten in her life, and Kate did not go back on her promises.

She had her eyes on a bunch of ripe mangoes dangling from one of the higher up branches. The mangoes swung low enough that if she moved three or four steps towards the right after climbing the next branch, her hands could reach them.

Climbing mango trees and guava trees was child's play for her by now. There was no tree in the world that she couldn't climb she thought a little cockily.

She held onto the main branch, her left foot solid on a lower branch and raised her right foot onto the smaller limb branching towards the right. She gripped a projection on the side for leverage and somehow managed to set her right foot on the targeted branch.

She let out a sigh of relief.

That was harder than she imagined. But it didn't matter, she liked new challenges.

She looked down at Edwina, staring worriedly, "Edwina get ready with the cloth. I'm going to pluck them and throw them onto the cloth one by one. You have to hold the cloth tightly to make sure that the mangoes don't touch the ground."

"Katie, please, I'm scared. Those mangoes are too far away. You don't have to get those. We already have so many."

"You don't have to be scared. It's just a couple of steps away. And look-" she held an arm out, "-these long hands will be able to grab those mangoes in no time. Besides, these ones are riper and sweeter than the ones down there." Even though Kate spoke confidently, she did take a peek at the mangoes in question just to be sure.

"Okay. If you're sure." Edwina still sounded distraught. "But be careful, Katie."

"Of course, I will be careful, kutti!" She smiled reassured at Edwina not certain if she could see her smile.

Kate took a deep breath and began to move. She first moved her right leg to the right, sliding a little and then dragged her left leg.

Okay not so bad.

But if she had to move anymore, she will have to remove her left hand off the branch too.

She took a deep breath again and removed her left hand.

She wobbled a bit before balancing herself.

She precariously copied the first moves again -right leg first and then the left, right leg and then left, right then left.

Finally, after what seemed like running a marathon, but what was essentially four steps, she could reach the mangoes.

She smiled and plucked one.

"Edwina, come and stand below me, but a little to my front so that I can see you. I'm going to throw one."

Edwina stood, holding a cloth spread as wide as her little hands allowed, "Ready."

Kate threw it and it hit the cloth and bounced onto the ground.

"Oops!" Edwina giggled.

Kate laughed, "That's okay. It happens."

Kate plucked the second one and did the same.

Soon she managed to pluck all the mangoes in the bunch but one.

It would be possible to pluck that one only if she took one more step, but the branch was thinning out and Kate did not know if it was worth taking the risk.

She thought for a moment and then decided to move ahead. Afterall what how bad could it be if she took just one more step.

She raised her right leg and set it on the branch.

Whew!

Nothing happened.

With the confidence, she was about to lift her left leg when the branch gave out and she slipped.

She cried out in alarm and fell onto the ground on her elbows, a lower offshoot breaking her fall.

Edwina was shouting loud for help, fat tears streaming down her face.

Kate tried to get up and stopped as she felt a pain coursing through her right elbow.

Edwina saw her attempt to get up and rushed to her side, in alarm, "Katie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Fine."

Edwina's sobs turned to anger, "Don't lie, Katie. I saw your face. Where are you hurting?"

Before she could respond, her Appa and Mama came running, their faces etched with worry.

"What happened?" Milind Sharma asked looking at Kate.

They both looked at him, "Nothing happened, Appa!" Kate replied while Edwina loudly proclaimed, "Katie fell from the tree."

Kate shook her head knowing what was coming.

Her Appa loved her, and she knew there were few fathers like him who allowed their daughters to ride horses, learn shooting, climb trees and live their lives as they pleased.

But one hard and fast rule that Millind Sharma had was that they should not be careless.

"Katie, sometimes people act without thinking and they put themselves and others at risk. Never be careless! Always think about the consequences of your actions. Sometimes your careless action can hurt you and the ones who love you."

But she was surprised when he dropped next to Kate and inspected her hand.

Kate let out a yelp as he squeezed her joint and he looked at her.

"So, want to tell me what really happened?"

Kate's eyes started to tear up and she told him everything that happened.

Millind wiped away her tears and Mary came and consoled her as she finished her recount.

"Aww my poor baby. It's okay, Katie." Mary cooed in her ears.

Kate started full on sobbing hearing that, and she leaned forward into her Appa's arms feeling like a small child once again.

Edwina alarmed at Kate's crying walked to her Appa and tugged at his shirt, "Appa it's not Katie's fault. It's my fault. I asked her to pluck mangoes for me. That's why she climbed the tree."

Kate looked at Edwina in wonder, "You don't have to save me, kutti. You did warn me to stop. I didn't listen to you. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

"What's this my fault-your fault business here? No one is at fault." Mary spoke in a faux-serious turn.

"Mama is right. We have two beautiful daughters, and I love you both. I won't allow you to insult them, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Appa. We love you too." Kate and Edwina spoke, smiling sweetly.

"No love to Mama?" Mary asked trying to sound dejected when all she could feel was elation.

"We love you too, Mama!" They chanted in unison, giggling.

"I love you two, my sweet little troublemakers."

"Come on now, let's go inside." Millind gently picked Kate in his arms and Edwina seeing the opportunity asked her Mama to pick her up.

They walked away from the tree, talking and laughing, their hearts full and the mangoes laid there on the ground forgotten.

Day 110 : 3 * story Separate sessions!

Characters : Mao Isara, Rei Sakuma, Ritsu Sakuma (mentioned)

Writer : Chitose Umeda

(It's been a few weeks since we started "Band BB" in order to take part in a live performance at the "Music Special Zone" ・・・・・・)

(I think I'm good at musical instruments, but I'm probably the least experienced member of the circle.)

(Because if you don't touch it, your arm will fall off... after the guitar, I'll try playing the bass too♪)

♪♪♪

(Yeah, I'm better at guitar, but I also like bass. I think it fits my personality.)

(I'll try to play it from time to time in the future ? Now that we have a place called "Circle".

It's a good activity to practice different instruments.)

Not necessarily, but I'd like to take this opportunity to

・・・・ want to try that instrument too?

Sit on a chair, hold the sticks, and ♪

……Whew, well, I guess it was a good feeling♪

There are people who are self-praise-

Clap clap clap...♪ I never thought that Isara-kun was a kid who could play the drums.

Sakuma-senpai!? Did you hear me playing now !?

I just happened to hear you. There's no need to look so embarrassed.

I think you played it well. When did you start practicing drums?

Well~, it's awkward to say it in front of the person himself. While remembering the performance of Sakuma-senpai, I imitated what I saw.

Of course, I have seen some lecture videos.

Hoh? So you were originally interested in playing the drums as well?

Haha, not even that. There was a time when I simply thought that it would be cool if I could play various instruments.

But now that I've played the drums, it feels good, so I might want to practice the drums so that I can play them properly someday...

As expected of the founder of the band "BB". I can feel the motivation♪

Isara-kun is good at many things, and as long as he puts in the practice, he will become a good drummer in no time at all.

Is that so~?

If you can rephrase mere lack of dexterity in such a positive way, I think I'll try practicing seriously

Now, let's get on with it: ・・・・・・. Here, sit on the drum-throne again.

Let me teach you how to play the drums. I have high hopes for Isara-kun's growth♪

Wait, really?!

And, well, that's the basics. What do you think?

Again, it feels like a full-body exercise. I move my hands and feet, I am conscious of my posture, and I think about various things with my head...

I could understand how great Sakuma-senpai's example was when he taught me how to play.

No no. It's amazing that you've mastered the basics in such a short time.

Ahaha thank you very much.

It was difficult, but I enjoyed learning more about drumming itself!

Umu, it would be great if I could convey the goodness of the instrument. It was fresh and fun for me to teach Isara-kun.

Speaking of which. I have this image of Sakuma-senpai as someone who can play any instrument.

What instruments can you actually play? Drums, guitar, bass...

Not just any instrument. I can play the violin and, in fact, the flute. And then... the piano. here is the keyboard.

Well, let's play a verse for the first time in a while~

(For me, when I think of piano, I think of Ritsu's sound. He also makes a beautiful sound...)

Hmmm. After all, it feels good to touch the keyboard.

In order to convey this goodness, it might be a good idea to teach Isara-kun the piano after to the drums.

Uh no, playing the piano is a bit...

Why ? Wasn't it Isara-kun who said it would be cool if you could play different instruments?

That's true, but ・・・・・・

I have a childhood friend who is good at the piano, so I specialise in listening, or rather, I have never thought about playing the piano myself.

I see? But if you know more about the instruments and how they are played, it might give you a different appreciation of what you hear, don't you think?

Hmmm, sure?

Let's start with the shape of the hand.

Hm?

What's wrong?

My phone is vibrating. And this vibration... Who in the world would make a phone call?

Oops, it's from Ritsu.

Ritsu?

Excuse me, I'll be out for a while

Hello? What's going on, all of a sudden?

"I've sent many messages but no response?" Sorry, I'm in the studio right now.

(I'm curious about the content of the conversation)

Yeah, yeah, I just didn't notice because I was playing. Really, because how could I ignore it~?

? No, I'm not alone. Sakuma-senpai taught me how to play drums and piano.

Uh? It cut suddenly.

What the hell? I mean, he hung up on me when he told me to wait for him, but is he planning to come here too?

What do you think, Sakuma-senpai-

Hiiiiii !!!

What's wrong? You look so frightened looking at your phone...

Hey look at this.

"I will never forgive you"...is this a message from Ritsu?

Hmmm. A simple string of letters seems to convey Ritsu's anger.

It's because Ritsu hates me and Isara-kun getting involved...

I was also consciously refraining from it. I became a member of the circle and got a little carried away.

...... Um... I can't seem to stop getting notifications, but I keep getting messages?

I'm sure he's continuing to send messages while heading to this place.

Ah, regardless of the content, I have a message from Ritsu.

What is it that makes me happy?

For the time being, I'll do something about this place, so shouldn't Sakuma-senpai evacuate (?)

Hmmm. It's sad that I can't meet Ritsu, but this time I'll do my bestI think I'll make him even more angry if he sees me passing by Isara-kun. I'm sorry, but please take care of Ritsu.

Please let me thank you again in another lesson.

Yes. Until next time, I will also explain that it is part of the circle activities.

Take care of him. ------ Well, goodbye... ♪

Now. He seems really angry for some reason, and I have to think about what to do when Ritsu comes.

"Teach me how to play the piano", and sometimes I'll try to pamper you?

After all, Ritsu's performance is the most familiar to my ears. It's been a while since I've heard him play, but I want to listen to him properly too...

#mao isara #rei sakuma #ritsu sakuma #band BB #umeda fucking GETS me #on a molecular level #like ritsu teaching the piano to mao #genius #enstars #ritsu mention

Over to Bianca Monty! Who has been pregnant since 2014, so let’s hurry up and get that baby out of her!

But first, a wedding!

Bianca: Whew, really stretching the lace on my dress here.

Chester: Bianca, I promise to love and cherish you and refuse to take part in the family feud.

Bianca: I promise to let you spend a not insignificant amount of money on video game merchandise so long as you give me that sweet incognito surname and at least two more babies.

Bianca: With this ring, I am no longer a Monty.

Chester: Sweet sweet video game merch.

Bianca: Sweet sweet anonymity and babies.

I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Gieke.

Thanks for the money, Chester!

Bianca: Open wide!

Chester: Ack! Choking!

Bianca: Ha ha! So funny! Chester: I’M SERIOUS.

Back home! Bianca’s OTH is Arts and Crafts and as she also has a high interest in fashion, I brought her a sewing machine. Bianca: It’s probably too late to make my own baby clothes, but I might manage a prom dress. What if it’s a boy? Bianca: I said what I said.

Landlord: Did you hear something? Chester: Maybe it was the weather.

Nope, it’s BABY TIME!

Bianca: What the fuck are you doing!? Chester: Getting ready to catch! Bianca: GET BACK UP THIS END NOW.

Baby is birthed and caught! And it is indeed a boy! His name is Paris, which yes, I know is more of a Capp kind of name, but I figure it’s a firm statement from Bianca that she is DONE with that.

And Chester immediately rolls this charming want. Chester: A baby! I must learn all about them so I can be the very best father ever! Aww. How about you, Bianca?

Literally every other skill, I see. Bianca: I don’t need to study. I’m a Family sim and mommy knows best.

Bianca: See? I’m so good at this already!

Bianca: Gold star for this shit.

Bianca: Aaaaaand baby goes on floor. Outside. LOL THERE IT IS-

Oh, I see, you just put him down to react to the weather. Bianca: Ew, rain? I’m going back inside.

Um, Bianca? Bianca?

Paris: She’s not coming back, is she? No worries, dad to the rescue!

Chester: Ew.

But finally, Paris makes it back into the house. Hurrah!

Landlord: Hey, there’s a weird stench from your apartment, can you deal with it? Chester: Oh, it’s just the baby.

Baby goes IN BASSINET.

I had Bianca invite her parents over so she could tell them about her shotgun wedding.

But apparently they didn’t do anything interesting, because the next screenshot was this one of Chester teleporting out of bed. Bianca: You can just get up normally, you know. Chester: Better view of the bassinet from here.

Chester: I wonder what Paris is thinking right now?

Paris: I’m thinking I would like that nappy to be a little bit further away from me.

Chester: Noooooo my spaghetti!

Family dinner.

And then it’s time for Paris to grow up!

Paris: I wanna go to bed. Me too bitch, you ain’t special.

Patrizio: I would like to know your opinions on global affairs. Isabella: I would like to install a sweet swing set like this in our backyard. I haven’t felt this young in years!

Potty training time!

Chester: You’re really gonna do this? Hey, everyone loves potty training pics.

Chester: VOGUE. Amazing, stupendous, a star is born. Give me another! Chester: Can’t. Kid’s done. Done as in-?

Huh. Kid’s done. Paris: What, like it’s hard?

Chester: And now, the most awkward spot in the house for a story.

I’ll consider it.

Patrizio: Let us know if you do get knocked up again, Isabella was very disappointed she never got a chance to knit little cardigans for Paris. Bianca: That’s on her, I was pregnant for eight years.

Oops.

Bianca: Can’t you do something? Well I mean, I could, but where’s the fun in that?

Oh never mind, Paris took care of it.

Arrr.

Not creepy at all.

Chester: Can you say ‘high chair’? Paris: I can indeed say ‘high chair’.

You know what, why not!

Bianca: First though, I wanna get that locked badge want out of the way.

Chester: Who’s daddy’s little genius? You are!

And now, a sex interlude. Put on your best 70′s porno music.

Happy New Year.

And now, party time!

Paris: This rocks.

Paris: And another thing, I’m not a feud kind of kid. Patrizio: Happily, I am a feud kind of grandfather.

Bianca: This is nice. Chester: It’d be nicer without clothes.

just making sure again, but (ch11 minor spoilers ig) mattyass kinda considers both linc and abel as his sons and to him they bicker like siblings, but the mods are still ok with the abelinc ship, right? or not? which is okay bc they were established as ex friends & the romance thing is made up, plus they dont have to see eo as siblings just bc thats how matthias sees them from his perspective as an adult who watched them grow up. ik its not the case here bc again abelinc is pure fanon but in lots of media the same gender chars who have a close relationship, whether theyre childhood friends or not, are often written off as "siblings" so the homophobic writers try to stop the ship from existing even though the chars in question dont act like siblings at all and actually have romantic chemistry which is so frustrating😭 whew thats such a long ask.. oops

girl wtf are you saying, be clear and quickly

#mod sugar #ask #anon #girl as a non binary term bc i do not know ur gender beloved

My Live Heartstopper 2 Reactions

Right so this is an EXTREMELY long post and I know nobody cares but it helped me get all my emotions out in a healthy way instead of punching walls so that’s a plus 👍🏻. MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS, so be warned, aight? Some of my reactions are genuinely funny—wish I had filmed myself because oh boy.

(TW: Eating disorders and homophobia. Also: Chaos, spoilers, and unhealthy fangirling).

Episode 1

Oh my god I’m literally more nervous for this than I was for my tattoo I’m gonna cry

HI ❤️

Charlie you better eat that cereal why are you just holding it.

The soundtrack is already banging holy balls.

THIS SCENE IS SO CUTE OH MY GOSH.

AGGRESSIVE KISSING OH MY GOD THAT WAS CRAZY THE PASSION I—

They’re so happy. I’m so happy they’re happy. And the smile every time they greet each other. And they’re BESTIES which is SO REAL.

THE UPSIDE-DOWN KISS SHOT WAS MAGICAL—

Ooh I missed the little sparkles of Heartstopper

Need this tattooed on my body fr.

Elle is gorgeous. Elle is gorgeous. Elle is gorgeous and I love her. She’s gorgeous. Oh my gosh my sapphic heart wants her so bad.

That was weird. Oop—that product placement is as a tiny bit goofy? Was the product placement? I’ve only read one book.

No she fancies Ben—I already can see it coming. No NO NO NO NO IMOGEN NO.

Oh I can feel the stress. I have to look up what this test is I guess because I can FEEL the stress—NEVERMIND I KNOW WHAT THE STRESS IS—

This is an incredible scene. Oh my FUCKING god.

This teacher is really doing the most for no reason.

I NEED YOU.

Of course Harry’s out here saying some slightly misogynistic shit out the gate.

Elle and Tao will be magical together I already know.

YES OH MY GOD THEY GET DOODLES TOO?????? YESSSSSSS.

Bro is this product placement or is it in the comics. It must be in the comics and I just don’t know about it lmao. Because otherwise this product placement is WILD.

UH OH NO UH OH STOP PLEASE I CAN’T—alright it’s fine. Everything’s fine. Deep breaths. Whew all good.

As a partially-closeted gay person that was a lot for me.

I love Tori and her actress so much (is actress still a real term??? I feel like it’s not).

This is cute huh.

I love Imogen. I love Imogen. She’s so cute.

SHE’S AN ALLY IM PISSING—

God Elle is gorgeous in every scene.

Tao’s hair isn’t even bad idk what everybody was saying in the first season it’s goofy but it’s not the worst haircut in the world.

THAT WAS SO INTENSE. THEY HAVE CRAZY CHEMISTRY WHAT????!?????

Isaac always reading is such a vibe he just likes to be in the room with everyone and it’s so me.

Gosh she’s tall too I love tall women.

Bro what marvel movie were they watching ????? Hello ????? Also—David is still here isn’t he?

NELLIE IS PERFECT.

No no no no no no no no no bro I’m gonna be physically ill.

PUNCH THAT MF IN THE FACE holy FUCK.

Oh my god this is so sad, but also definitely the conflict I’m here for and not this schoolwork shit. I hate schoolwork conflicts.

It’s not your fault Charlie I’m so sorry.

God Mom he needs you right now are you serious?????

We all know damn well you did not eat at Nick’s.

To be so fair this is exactly what happened to me and my gf when we started telling people it just became a mess.

Oh god the voice memo was perfect Nick. That was such a perfect way to get your sincerity across. Wow I LOVE that.

CUT YOUR HAIR OUT OF JEALOUSY TAO !!!

That’s half a joke.

But I would do it (I’m crazy and petty).

Cantonese is very soft or maybe it was just the way she said it but my ears liked it.

I deadass thought she was gonna be right behind him lmao.

Episode 3

IKEA??????? Boy.

Aw nice boys. Thank you.

The way Otis just looked back like bro are you serious—

Damn it he almost had it shit.

Charlie and Joe are ebbing and flowing and I love that he’s like 15-dimensional it’s so nice and natural I love Joe he is so talented.

YAY SHE IS SO NICE ARE YOU SERIOUS???? SHE HAS A WIFE. My girlfriend did women’s rugby gayest sport in the world. I literally just jumped up and down this show is so good fuck.

HER LITTLE GIGGLE SDFGHJKL

Tao not on the school computer wtf.

I’m like actually stressed about Charlie’s paper and Nick’s math I remember being stressed and fucked up by these things and I do not like the coursework issues as pieces of plot it really gets me—not to say it’s the show’s fault. I think that’s just because school killed me.

Oh Tara and Darcy.

I am in fear. I am currently in very much fear.

Ben looks like such an ass fr.

DARCY’S SARCASM IM PISSING—

HE IS SO SWEET ABSOLUTELY SO SWEET. HOLY PISS AND SHIT THIS IS PERFECT. AND HIS HAAAAAAIR. OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING.

THAT WAS ADORABLE.

They are very good together.

The 1975???? Slay?????

I LOVE TORI. IM PISSING.

“Look after him. Or you die.”

The most unrealistic thing about this show is that people don’t know they’re together when they’re always standing so fucking close together and glancing at each others’ mouths.

Now why is that popcorn so big.

Bro Elle looks perfect all the time I would also be awkwardly silent next to her.

Oh Tara.

Joe and Nick look SO GOOD in these outfits.

Elle definitely put her hand there on purpose so he’d grab it.

BRO WHAT IS GOING ON THIS IS PAINFUL.

I take it back Nick should’ve been wearing different pants.

Oh no this is literally my nightmare.

Bro Harry putting his arm around Nick like nothing’s wrong and the panic that must be flooding through Nick’s veins is so FUCKING REAL I have been in situations so similar to this and if he comes out now I will never forgive Alice because this is a horrific time for this.

I am uncomfortable with the energy we have created in the studio today.

Oh Tao I love you I’m so sorry. God he is so me. God what a nice hug. I feel so bad for him. Holy fuck.

And CHARLIE god this is my nightmare.

Oh Nick too.

EVERYONE IS SAD AND I AM SAD.

Oh baby oh my god.

Charlie is a literal angel AND SO IS NICK’S MOM.

YOU DON’T OWE THEM ANYTHING. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL FUCKING MESSAGE.

Oh Charlie my heart aches for you.

Episode 4

Charlie why wouldn’t you sit next to each other???? Charlie???? What is this madness?????

Tao’s hair is slaying.

Mr. Farouk is crazy.

Paris is gonna fix everything I see.

Okay Nick and Tao getting together makes my heart absolutely so full.

NICK’S DAD IS FRENCH??????? Bro I need to read these don’t I?

Aw Mr. Farouk’s little smile.

Darcy is fantastic at changing the subject I wish I had the skill.

Bro Ben’s whole role this season is glaring I’m pissing myself giggling about it.

Bro read the ROOM of COURSE they wanted to share.

Um why is their room so tiny????

Even their hands look perfect together god DAMN.

WAIT Tao that was so fucking sweet.

NO THIS IS THE HICKEY SCENE. THIS IS THE HICKEY SCENE. OH MY GOD IS THIS THE HICKEY SCENE?

Incredible like delivery Kizzy FUCK I loved that.

Also it was not the hickey scene.

Ben looks so unenthused with Imogen at all times and I’m pissed about it.

Jesus that was rude Ben. Fuck you.

This is so weird but I wanna know what order they shot these scenes in bc the whole bus scene Farouk kept being all smiley towards Ajayi but now he’s like super unimpressed with him and it’s not tracking but honestly that’s kind of sweet and almost like foreshadowing I love it.

Tao. Looks. So. Good.

ELLE’S BOOTS ARE FIRE ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

Charlie just grab his hand there’s literally no one around.

NICK BEING FLUENT IN FRENCH IS SO GOOD AND IMPRESSIVE DOES CHARLIE KNOW?????

Also Kit Connor speaking French is just ahhhhhh

TARA’S A DANCER??? ME TOO. ME TOO ME TOO ME TOO.

Darcy is so my girlfriend. Don’t worry Tara she’ll come around I promise. My girlfriend didn’t say I love you back to me for months babe. It’s just hard for some people.

Charlie…

God Paris is beautiful.

Straight people are so goofy thinking relationships mean you stop being friends.

BRO THIS SONG GOES CRAZY????

Okay the yelling was so funny.

They’re perfect together for real.

The BUTTERFLIES???? THE BUTTERFLIES????

I actually love Imogen so much. Ben needs to get his greasy hands off her fr.

Darcy’s non-binary shirt is everything. Thank you Heartstopper, thank you Kizzy.

WHY IS CHARLIE BY BEN???? WHO ALLOWED THIS?????

NO. NO NO NO. NO.

Okay. Deadass, I wish I had recorded myself—The whole conversation just went down, and I sat there with my hand shaking around my face, and when HARRY went “There’s no reason to call her a bitch” I fucking LOST MY MIND because you know it’s bad when HARRY SAYS SOMETHING OBJECTIVELY CORRECT. I deadass SCREAMED.

Oh Imogen so wrong but also so cute about it anyway.

Tao and Nick talking makes my heart so happy I want them to be besties.

This is so sweet. Fuck.

Is Nick’s dad a factor here? Because I’m stressed.

I love when my gf hugs me like that.

“Giant Rugby idiot”

Wait this is wild oh my god?????

Real talk—when my gf gets that close to me and is kissing my neck I do not silently stare at the ceiling but I get it we’re innocent and sweet in this house.

Bro the hickey reveal is SO GOOD.

Episode 5

Oh his dad is ghosting him fuck.

Soundtrack going off again

Also unrealistic—giving a hickey without knowing how? You have to suck SO HARD bro—

I’m fully laughing my ass off.

TAO’S EYES I—

I just screamed “OH MY GOD THIS SHOT IS INCREDIBLE THIS IS ART” at the top of my lungs and the neighbors definitely heard but BLURRY BEN SITTING IN BETWEEN MATCHING NICK AND CHARLIE WHEN HE LEARNS ABOUT THE HICKY???? 10/10 cinema. Give it an Oscar right now.

That’s the biggest croissant I have ever seen.

BEN BLURRY IN THE BACKGROUND OF THESE SHOTS IS JUST SO—

Joe Locke is gorgeous I can’t. He’s like literally a sculpture.

SHUT UP HARRY.

Oh my fucking god.

“I don’t give a rats ass rudeboy, grow up” is the single greatest like in all of Heartstopper and I will tattoo it on my body.

What is Nick’s outfit? Why do they keep giving him ridiculous pants?

Tao and Elle are a fucking gorgeous couple.

GO OFF ISAAC. GO OFF.

Kizzy and Corinna are just ah just god just I want them both just AH.

THAT FRAME OF BEN AND NICK IS FUNNIER THAN THE ONE THAT WENT VIRAL.

I hate Ben. I am going to cry.

I’m scared Charlie’s going to pass out. Imagine he just falls off the tower lmao what a twist one of them literally dies 😭😭

HARRY! HARRY! HARRY! Good job Isaac.

Okay he JUST called are you serious?

Tao’s fits are fucking fire bro.

SO ARE YOU CHARLIE. SO ARE YOU.

Doing a friend lock instead of a boyfriend one is so real.

I’m really freaked about the end of the season. I feel like I know the storm that’s coming and I don’t know if I can take it.

Nick being able to talk to anyone about everything is the best trope of this entire show. He is truly a saint (Santa Claus type beat lmfao)

No Charlie eat please. I’m begging you. You deserve love and food. I love him. I love this show.

Kizzy is so handsome.

Things are falling apart. I am falling apart. This is bad. This is real bad.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ENJOY ELLE AND TAO WHEN I KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING ELSEWHERE???????

Yeah okay I’m enjoying it I LOVE THEM!!!!

THE BUTTERFLIES.

Beautiful artist couple.

I wanna understand. He wants. To. Understand. MY PARENTS DIDN’T EVEN— AHHHAGDJAHANDHEJAB he’s a saint.

Nick is about to make me uncontrollably sob.

He was so close to I love you fr.

I hate Nick’s outfit so much.

Charlie finding out he speaks French has me KICKING MY FUCKING FEET AND GIGGLING.

Gets in trouble, “Run!” *runs towards the person getting them in trouble*

They look so genuinely perfect together it’s insane. The casting for this shit is fucking crazy.

Goated soundtrack.

Why does Nick have to be dressed like this though like I get it but I completely do not get it.

I’m uncomfy.

Oh god. He doesn’t know me. This is getting way, WAY to real now.

I just belly laughed at Tao sheepishly shuffling out of the bathroom and going, “I have something to share.”

Okay this is adorable I wish I had friends in high school (or ever)

WAIT OH MY GOD—I was upset they got busted by I AM NOT EVEN REMOTELY UPSET ANYMORE.

This is fucking perfect.

This show does not fail to save me. It saved me with the first season and it’s saving me a second time now.

Isaac in the bookstore is so me.

Oh yes YES YES YES!

The pride street. I’m fucking sobbing.

The hand shot?!?!? THE HAND SHOT?!?!

I really need Tara and Darcy to talk.

Oh no this is not what I want I really do not want this I really don’t like that there is alc here in this situation.

Ben is here??? What???

Everyone and their brother has a crush on Charlie and like I totally get it but also he is so OBLIVIOUS.

LUCY DACUS???? FUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Also the ace/aro representation is so good I fuckin love you Isaac.

“No.”

Okay let me be so real, Harry is an ass but Ben assaulted Charlie and he gets to be here???? Like not that I want Harry to be around either but????? Like?????

WHO INVITED BEN?!?!?

TAO’S SCARY ASS CRAWL I CAN’T—

YES. YES NICK. FUCK IM CRASHING.

Darcy why tho.

They are such good actors it’s so hard to remember they aren’t actually in love.

Not to be delulu but they are so Merlin/Arthur core.

I thought they were about to have an “oh shit I’m about to get turned on” moment but it didn’t go that way.

ONE BED TROPE. YASSSSSS. YASSSS. GAY TEACHERS. YASSSS.

WHAT IS THAT MELODYYYY??????

They sleep like me and my gf do, always switching positions. Got that’s so real. I’m fucking obsessed.

Peach comforter cute as hell.

Good song. Heard it on the soundtrack before.

Holy BALLS JOE LOCKE IS BEAUTIFUL.

YES ELLE! YES ELLE!

TAO PICKING UP HIS MOTHER SUPREMACY

“My summer is for sleeping.” Tori is me.

Ben. Actually piss off. There will be no accidental adultery in this show. I’m manifesting.

Oh Darcy. The purple clouds are amazing detail but Oh Darcy.

Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

Tell him.

You promised. Tell him.

CONAN GRAY? IN MY CITY?

PHYSICALLY GASPED AT ELLE.

Yes. Yes Isaac yes. Fuck. I love you Isaac. YOU ARE FREE FROM EVERYONE ELSE’S PICTURE OF LIFE. YOU’RE AMAZING. FUCK.

MORE CONAN?

Yes Tao. He’s fucking supportive. I can see it in his face.

THE PAINTING???? THE ART ROOM?????

TAO THAt IS SO FUCKING MATURE.

My parents will never accept me either but I’m not a goddamn predator asshole.

This is fucking RAW. Oh my GOD. God, Charlie that was fucking powerful and perfect. Me too. I feel it. I felt you. AND HE STEPPED AWAY FROM THE RAINBOW HE COULD HAVE GONE IN AND SEEN.

FUCK.

Fuck you David. I already know you’re about to do some DUMB SHIT.

Bro did they not warn Charlie’s parents?????

GO OFF TORI.

Oh my god GO OFF NICK???? GO OFF???? HOLY FUCK????

He’s not a very good dad, is he?

I like Nick’s pink shirt.

I love Tori so fucking much. Oh my GOD.

Your brother’s a prick.

Oh Nick. Oh NICK. Oh Nick.

Darcy, baby. Fuck.

(Good ass soundtrack tho)

Episode 8

I’m so stressed about Charlie. Please no storm.

Okay this time the soundtrack jumped in a little too strong????

SWITCH! SWITCH!

NICK’S OUTFIT IS FIRE (it’s just the jumper but still)

ALLY! ALLY! (Except they’re both gay lmfao)

WINGWOMAN! That’s the word.

Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

TINY NICK.

Me too Darcy. I love you. THEY ARE PERFECT. THEY ARE PERFECT. They are me 😭😭 this is so personal to me.

SEVEN! SEVEN! SEVEN! ITS SO SAPPHIC! ITS SO THEM!

These people have got to know they are making something so FUCKING special for queer people. This is my next tattoo for sure.

Queer joy.

THEY LOOK MARRIED!!! THEY LOOK MARRIED!!!!?

THIS IS SO DOMESTIC.

Please talk to him.

Do not fight right now I swear to god.

You don’t have to be perfect with me.

Oh Charlie oh my god. Nick’s fuckiNG TEARS—I just.

This scene. Is. Perfect. Fuck.

THE WHISPERING. THE FUCKING WHISPERING. THE BROKEN ASS WHISPERING.

FOREHEAD KISSES????? IN THIS ECONOMY??????

That blue looks GOOD on him.

The storm was a light rain that spilled the rivers over, but it was fun to walk in and the mud made nice pies, and everything was alright, because they made them together.

this SONG????????

BANGING MY HEAD AGAINSST A WALL.

In conclusion, I will be getting a heartstopper tattoo at my nearest convenience. I’ll be sure to post it.

Also, here’s a cookie for lasting this long 🍪
