One day while watching Yuji, your clothes get dirty. No problem, you can go to your apartment and change… except you locked yourself out. Don’t worry, Choso has your spare key! It’s gotta be somewhere… it’s with him and he’s not off work for another couple of hours.

Luckily, the little kid you babysit is a problem solver, and Yuji hands you one of Choso’s shirts to change into instead. It’s actually pretty comfortable, a little big, but it smells like his laundry detergent and a lingering scent of his cologne.

“That shirt is big on you!” Yuji points out the obvious.

“Yeah, it is, Yuji. But it’s pretty comfy. You sure he won’t mind?”

“I promise! Choso won’t mind, I think.”

“You think?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m bored.”

You laugh and cook Yuji dinner as he plays with toys. After a couple hours, you put Yuji to bed and Choso comes home.

“I’m back.” He calls out, and you appear out of Yuji’s room. Choso almost chokes on his own spit when he sees you in his shirt.

“Sorry, I got my shirt dirty and locked myself out of my apartment somehow…”

“Oh, do I need to unlock it for you?”

“Yeah, if you don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind.”

The two of you go to the next door apartment and Choso unlocks it for you and you grab your keys.

“I swear I had these with me,” you mumble and sigh. “Sorry for wearing your shirt again.”

“I don’t mind. It’s cute on you.” He says without thinking and immediately looks away in embarrassment. Your cheeks flush as well and you laugh a little.

“Thanks… It smells nice, you know…”

“Probably just the detergent I use,” he mumbles in a flustered manner.

“It also has a hint of your cologne. Smells like you, it’s nice…” You’re going to be the death of him.

“Uh, th-thanks… I’m guessing Yuji’s in bed?”

“Yeah, he just fell asleep.”

“Good, good…”

“…I’ll clean your shirt and bring it back tomorrow. If that’s okay.”

“Yeah, okay, take your time.” He silently scolds himself for being so flustered. “I’ll see you tomorrow then?”

“Yeah, does Yuji need babysat?”

“No, but he does need to prepare for Sukuna to visit again.”

“Oh boy, sounds like fun.” You laugh.

“You have no idea. I’m just hoping he doesn’t bother me about you.” He laughs and shakes his head.

You smile and head into your apartment. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Choso.”

“Yeah, see you.”

He waits outside your apartment a little longer before going inside, opening the fridge to find a meal set aside for him with a little note from you reminding him to eat. He smiles and heats up the food, tracing over how you write his name. He’s really not looking forward to his uncle visiting again.

What's an otome?

You read a picture book to romance fictional characters, anon.

(for reference: on page 2 the second panel characters are from Steam Prison. Vita touch mechanic mention is Bad Apple Wars and the sexism call outs is in Sweet Fuse.)

I struggle personally with the self-insert intended otome because I look at characters and go "that's my son now" and I can't romance my son! That's why I prefer games with a designated design and some bare-bones personality protags. THEY can romance my son.

Can Bill tell Soos anything about Soos's father just to piss off Abuelita? After all, he likes to piss.

Axolotl, I hope this joke isn't too stupid.

Anon, I am eyeing you with the deepest suspicion.

Anyway—

Bill can tell Soos tons about his father.

Bill would never piss off Abuelita.

After Mabel, Abuelita is the one person in the house Bill least wants to piss off. His first full day in the shack, she tried to poison him with a genial, inscrutable calm; and remained genially inscrutably calm when he called her out on it. That's a stone-cold killer. She wasn't afraid to try to kill Bill Cipher and she wasn't afraid when she was caught trying to kill Bill Cipher. He respects her and slightly fears her. So far, she's the only human who's outright tried to kill him since his reincarnation, and he feels there's very little keeping her from trying again.

If that weren't a concern though, he might occasionally make jabs about Soos's dad to him—and why stop there, his mom is a sore spot too—not to piss off Abuelita but just to bully Soos.

Of course you can, I adore when people draw the blorbos!! He’s my favorite Dad Blorbo ☺️❤️❤️❤️ I have a post where I put a lot of art people had done for him together here.

Gaiman has said that he isn't using traditional angelology, so that doesn't help us with Aziraphale, who as a Principality in the GO-verse is basically upper middle management. The Bible in GO is not divinely inspired and frequently gets things wrong, like assuming that the flood is global rather than local, or has major omissions, like the whole flaming sword business (except in that one misprint Bible...). So that doesn't help us with Aziraphale's rank, either, because you can just handwave the cherub with a flaming sword as yet another mistake, and there's nothing in either text or series to suggest that he was punished. I know fans think that Aziraphale doesn't use his title in the novel because the "joking" must be about his demotion, but it's more likely a reference to the overlapping terminology in the translation of Ephesians 6:12 ("For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"). Poor Aziraphale must be tired of other angels teasing him about being one of the world's forces for evil!

Crowley is a "wait and see" sort of problem, methinks. Gaiman has said that the novel is canon for the series except where directly contradicted, and novel!Crowley is a nobody, "not even a district councillor" as far as his demonic rank is concerned. And both versions of Crowley are underpowered compared to Hastur and Ligur, hence the holy water ambush. But I guess we'll find out more in season two?

hi anon!!!✨ im absolutely living for all the angelology (the word is still making me wince) education, im definitely not an expert so to have this background is really helpful, thank you!

re: crowley, yeah i agree; i guess there's just a lot of contradictory evidence for both sides, when you take that evidence in isolation and on face value, but of course without any clarifying info for the moment to help us, it's all just up to speculation!!!✨

Swifties like you are trash. You worship her current bf and villianize her ex, no matter what. You make her life harder by attacking people she loved, who did nothing bad to her.

You've obviously never had a real, healthy relationship, that simply didn't work out. You think people only break up because one person did something terrible.

What a loser. You'll never be happy.

I have never villainized Joe, I’ve never even had a strong opinion on the man; I just think it’s kinda shitty that he couldn’t show up during a big moment for Taylor. I also never claimed that the split rested solely on one party I quite literally said “People change and grow apart and that’s normal, it doesn’t mean one person was at fault!” which directly undermines what you’re trying to accuse me of saying.

Yeah I’ve never had a real relationship but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand that relationships require give and take and effort, healthy communication and if things aren’t working after you’ve tried to fix it then maybe it’s best to cherish it for what it was, use it as a learning experience and move on.

It seems like you’re just looking for someone to be mad at and get a rise out of, but unfortunately for you I’m not a punching bag and my anger isn’t triggered by people like you. I don’t think I’m the loser in this situation since I’m not the one sending anonymous hate on tumblr.com, that would be you anon! Have a lovely evening! 😘

NGL it's amusing when I see Edelstans complain about other black eagle fans (who also love Edelgard and Hubert) because they refer to Edelgard and Hubert as antiheros and villain protagonists.

they basically be like "NO! they aren't antiheros they are HEROS! they are morally correct and good because everything they do is JUSTIFIED. yes its war of conquest but its necessary because dragons and church bad! therefore they are MORALLY GOOD! why can't these other BE fans see that !"

But like ??? There's no issue with liking a antihero or villain protagonist character who has flaws and is morally questionable. Why deny themselves that joy and choose to restrict themselves to morally good characters at all??

Fans DO NOT need to purify or moralize Edelgards character to justify themselves for liking her. No one needs to defend themselves for liking a character when they exist literally for entertainment. They can just enjoy her character as she is instead of wasting time using extreme mental gymnastics to claim she's a morally good and justified hero.

The other side is when edelstans truly believe Edelgard is correct and believe her imperialist wars of conquest is justifiable , that allying with TWSITD and being complicit in their crimes was necessary and therefore good, that violence IS the answer. If this is the case then maybe they only view her as morally good and heroic because they agree with her methods??

Like, hey I'm a good person, I'm morally correct and I agree with Edelgard (and Hubert's) choices! Surely this MUST mean her choices are good, morally correct, and justifiable! Since I agree with it then this means she IS a good and morally correct character! She is a HERO!

Anywaysss I thought the discourse between BE fans was interesting so I thought I'd share haha

Oh,

No pbs anon!

It was to be expected though, when a certain group of fans aggro on everyone about their HC and their opinion being "better" than everyone else's, everyone is on their hit list - it doesn't matter what or who you like, the only thing that matters is if you like what they like and how they like it.

Sure, at times, I also sigh at people saying they appreciate a character I also like, but have a, uh, very different opinion and take on that character's characterisation that it makes me wonder if they like the character, or their headcanon of said character, or are just trolling, idk.

But hey, don't like don't read - even if in this case, it's more don't like don't be an ass.

Still, I feel bad for people who genuinely try to have a civil discussion about Supreme Leader (and Hubert), either they're biased against because a lot of the fandom is so tired of the constant influx of "devoted fans" barging in uninvited and forgetting to remove their shoes in their spaces, or worse, they attract those "devoted fans" and every discussions spirals down to "theocratic fascisto-absolute monarchy and State of Quo and Revolution = Feudalism is the name of the ice cream I had 15 seconds ago".

I'm waiting for Jugdral Echoes to find kindred Hilda fans, only to realise they will make some olympic level acrobatics to absolve her of any "bad thing" and find a way to say Bobby and Mary - the two 5 years old running away from her - were criminals who had to die to usher a new society.

I had been thinking about rereading the road goes ever on to make a list of all the movie references I put in (which is coming shortly). The conversation I had on here (with possibly two different anons?) about how I wished I’d had more time to develop the final chapter and whether I’d go back and make edits to that chapter now that it’s published lit a fire under me to actually do that reread. I finished it tonight, and discovered that, now that I’ve got enough distance from the fic to read it more from the perspective of a reader than from the perspective of a writer working on editing a WIP, there’s really only one thing about the final chapter that I’d actually want to change: 

I never put a scene in the epilogue that shows that Kali’s still occasionally posing as Conners and working (possibly with Owens’ help) to sabotage any further attempts by the government to keep the whole ‘kidnapping psychics’ thing going or to open a new Gate.
