#[ we are the 1 braincell duo ]

Howdy, Shadow Pilk! How are you today?

Perhaps Pure Vanilla Cookie could take a page from Shadow Milk Cookies friends on how to 'shut him down'.

Yan himbo by definition is also dense so Yan Himbo x Dense Reader is just a duo that shares the same 1 braincell

tw/cw: yandere, manipulation, abusive/toxic behavior. unedited word vomit. dubcon leaning a bit to noncon.

Y E S. The whole concept was based off of a BL Novel I once read where the entire plot was the ML being too dense to realize that jerking off his buddy and wanting to monopolize him aint so cishet behavior.

Himbo is a tactical genius when it comes to manipulating reader and he doesn’t fucken realize it. He’s going by pure instinct to possess reader for himself. Pushing boundaries of their’s cause he knows they’re close enough that they wont mind. Erasing lines cause “they’re friends and should always be open and supportive towards one another.” Getting mad and whiny in the rare times they attempt to refuse so that you’ll feel bad for not letting him get what he wants.

Poor Dense! Reader never really had their thoughts and opinions respected, and so they aren’t used to being entertained much in that aspect. They’re the no thoughts as long you’re happy type of person. And since Yan! Himbo is their closest and only friend they can only grin and take it when he drags them to the locker rooms for some fun times. They’re more afraid of him leaving them than of their privacy being invaded.

Dense! Reader had a crush on himbo for so fucken long but with the lack of experience they’re just 🙂 at everything. So you can’t really blame Himbo for not noticing when Dense! Reader doesn’t know this is stuff couples do, and therefore can’t truly show how happy they are.

At this point the two of them have rings and signed a contract where the two of them can never be apart, but they still think of the other as bros.

“What’s more bro-like than getting promise rings ! Haha, we should all totally move in together next. What’s wrong with our current arrangement? Duh We sleep in different bunks. True bros sleep beside each-other all the time. We can help one another with that problem much easier this way!”

What everyone is "twisted" from in Twisted Wonderland (my opinion and theories) Part 1: Heartslabyul.

Riddle Rosehearts is twisted from the Queen of Hearts. This is obvious, considering that he is a housewarden, overblotter, stickler for rules, and overall a young man who hold the Queen of Hearts in high regard. Therefore, he possesses the greatest connection and most similarities with the Queen of Hearts. I also a have a theory that all the overblotters have a special connection with the main antagonists of their respective movies.

Ace Trappola is twisted from the Hole to Wonderland. Many of us have theorized that he is twisted from Alice, but if that were so, who is going to be the overblotter and housewarden of the Alice-inspired dorm in RSA? (I also have a theory that explains why the Sultan from Aladdin belongs in the villain group, but it will come out in Part 4: Scarabia). Furthermore, he is the first student Yuu meets in NRC as well as the most mischievous member of the braincell duo who always drags Yuu into trouble, just as how the Hole to Wonderland is the entrance, first part of being in Wonderland, is what somewhat what led to Alice being in there, next to the White Rabbit.

Deuce Spade is twisted from the White Rabbit. Deuce is the more chivalrous and honorable member of the Braincell Duo who always tries his best and doesn't mean to get into the trouble that he gets into. However, he isn't exactly what Ace calls "slick" and can tend to do stupid things. Regardless, his noble, diligent personality has caused a few fans to compare him to a knight. This is similar to how the White Rabbit is so vigilantly devoted to his duties as the Queen of Hearts' Herald, or announcer, despite being a very jittery, jumpy character. Lastly, there's an entire TWST event called the "White Rabbit Fest" devoted to him where he calls "I'm late!" in the beginning! Change my mind after that!

Trey Clover is twisted from The Mad Hatter. Trey has dark green hair and wears a hat, which is similar to how the Mad Hatter wears dark green and wears a hat. Personality-wise, Trey is obviously known for being a mature young man who serves as a father figure for the dorm members of Heartslabyul without being overly strict and serious like Riddle, has a sense of humor and playful side that comes out from time to time, and has a much more carefree and outgoing best friend who we all know is Cater. This is also similar to the Mad Hatter, who, according to the Disney Wiki Fandom, despite usually being wild and insane, also has a "charming", "mild-mannered", "courteous", and "warmer side" and is best friends with the March Hare, who is known for being "far more rambunctious and outspoken".

Cater Diamond is twisted from The March Hare. Cater has strawberry-blonde hair, which is drawn as orange in the artwork. Moreover, as mentioned above with Trey, he is a very carefree and outgoing individual. This is similar to the March Hare, who is frequently seen in orange and is the crazier half of the Mad Hatter/March Hare friendship.

We interrupt this program to bring you: Sky Struggling with Directions! (If you played skyward sword you know how painful the dowsing is 💀)

1. Time is visibly disturbed at the thought of Epona becoming Human

2. Wild was very disappointed to discover that Wolfie was Some Guy™️ 😂

Two For The Price Of One

(Linked Universe/BOTW Wild/Link AU)

BOTW Link Has Two Braincells Souls

1. The Hero That Died 100 Years Ago (Link)

And

2. The Artificial Sheikah Soul From The Shrine Of Resurrection/The Player (Tech)

Upon Finding Out From The Old Man That Having Another Person In Your Head Isn't The Norm They Decided That Link Gets To Keep His Name And The Artificial Sheikah Soul Will Now Be Dubbed Tech (Once Joining The Chain Link Picks Up The Nickname Unity And Tech Picks Up The Nickname Wild).

Unity/Link Still Has Amnesia But Ends Up Gaining A Lot Of Their Memories Back Pretty Quickly After Finding All The Picture Locations And Wild/Tech Literally Just Got Here When They Woke Up In The Shrine So It Was A Learning Process For Both Of Em.

Unity/Link Is Good With Swords, Shields And Most Weapons Whereas Wild/Tech Is Good With Archery, The Sheikah Slate(Mental Connection Go Brr) And Stealth. Unity/Link Has The Heros Spirit And Wild/Tech Is Just Here For The Vibes And To Be A Chaos Enabler. (Unity/Link Was A Domesticated Chaos Gremlin By The Time He Died And Wild/Tech Is Going To Un-Domesticate Him If It's The Last Thing He Does)

They Are Unfortunately Both Idiots/Chaos Gremlins And Socially Awkward And Will 100% Play Mental Rock Paper Scissors The Loser Has To Deal With Socializing.

Wild Ultimately Looks The Same But Also Has Some "Something Supernatural Is Going On There" Vibes Like Sharper Teeth, The Fact That Their Eyes Glow/Eyeshine, Scary Good Night Vision, Always Cold, Movements/Vibe Just Off Enough To Trigger Some Primal Fear In Strangers, Their Blood Has A Faint Glow To It And When Wild/Tech Is In Control The Blue Glow In Their Eyes Is Brighter And More Noticeable.

Mentally However, Unity/Link Looks Like He Did Back When He Was A Knight Before The Calamity Hit And Wild/Tech Looks Like A Sheikah Recolor Of Unity/Link But They Have Ancient Technology Markings Near Their Eyes And Where Any Visible Veins World Be As Well As Blue Fire Eyes That Glow In The Dark Similar To Guardians/Ancient Tech.

At This Rate Unity/Link & Wild/Tech Are On "Do Not Separate" Levels Of Chaotic Head Roommates. They Can Actively Switch Out Who's Driving The Body At Will And With Enough Focus Can Copilot The Body.

They Are Actively Keeping Score Of Who Is Closest To Figuring Out That There Are Two People Behind The Mental Wheel Of The Champion Link (Four And Zelda/Flora Have The Highest Scores).

{I Offer Incorrect Quotes For The General Dynamic/Vibe Of These Two}

~

Wild/Tech: If you See Me Talking To Myself, Go Away! I’m Self-Employed And We’re Having A Staff Meeting!

~

Unity/Link & Wild/Tech: Am I a Boy? Am I A Girl? It Doesn't Matter. I'm Going To Burn Your House Down.

~

Unity/Link: Name A More Iconic Duo Than My Crippling Fear Of Not Being Worthy Of Being The Hero And My Anxiety. I'll Wait.

Wild/Tech: You And Me!!!

Unity/Link, Tearing Up: Okay.

~

Unity/Link, Trying To Put His Knight Training To Use: Ok We Need A Plan...

Wild/Tech, Currently In Control Of The Body Pulling Out A Bomb Arrow: We Have A Plan. The Plan Is Burn Everything Until We Are All That's Left Standing!

Unity/Link, Fighting And Losing To His Pyromania Demons: That'll Work =)

~

Unity/Link: Wild/Tech...

Wild/Tech, Bloody And Bruised From A Recent Tumble Down A Mountain Due To Ignoring Shield Durability While Shield Surfing: Oh No, 'Wild/Tech' In B-Flat.

Wild/Tech: You're Disappointed.

~

Wild/Tech: So That’s My Plan.

Unity/Link, A Trained High Ranking Knight: Are You Alright With Constructive Criticism? I Don’t Want To Sound Mean.

Wild/Tech: No, Go Ahead, I Want To Hear It.

Unity/Link: It Fucking Sucks We Are Going To Die.

Wild/Tech: That’s Not Very Constructive Of Your Criticism.

~

Unity/Link: I Prevented A Murder Today.

Wild/Tech, Who Watched The Whole Exercise Of Self Restraint Go Down: Really? How’d You Do That?

Unity/Link: Self Control.

~

Wild/Tech: I CAN'T DO IT UNITY/LINK!

Unity/Link, Laughing: I CAN'T EITHER!

Wild/Tech: I CANT FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE

Unity/Link: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WILD/TECH, YOU CAN GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE I CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT ME.

Wild/Tech: . . .

Wild/Tech: I Appreciate It,

Wild/Tech: BUT LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH MAN-

Unity/Link: Wild/Tech-

Wild/Tech: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

Unity/Link: Wild/Tech We Gotta-

Wild/Tech: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND DUDE. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.

Wild/Tech: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What Am I Willing To Put Up With Today?'

Wild/Tech, Motioning To Calamity Ganon: NOT FUCKING THIS!

DUMBASS DUO SHOWDOWN ROUND 1 BATTLE 9

Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) & Booster Gold (Michael Carter) aka boostle VS Mustard Lesbian and Ketchup Gay from this tumblr post

btw before you vote please check out the propaganda under the cut!

btw the musical production were watching west side story (the one from 1961) and when Maria sang "i feel pretty, and witty, and gay," we all laughed

Boostle

By himself, Ted is a genius. Together, they lose braincells. Notable examples include; embezzling money from their boss to set up a casino on an island. It was destroyed by aliens. They literally become the dumbest in the room when together because they enable the shit out of each other.

One time they stole all of the money from their boss/the Justice League funds and used it to open up a casino. They planted said casino on a living island. Um also one time they steal all of Martian Manhunter's cookies and also buy out the entire stock so he can not get more (or they just buy it all, I forget lol) and they do it just as a prank. They have pied their coworker/teammate Guy Gardner. Both are usually flat broke. There is literally so much of this stuff from their JLI/JLA run and some related stories. Also they are so inseparable they are sold together as figures. Is that anything (someone in the audience coughs)

They just get so much stupider when together Ted especially is very smart in canon but being with booster just brings his silly side out I guess they pull a lot of pranks together and I don't know much about the kooey kooey kooey incident but it sounds crazy (They are also very tragic but ignore that for this poll)

The people in the vintage ad

leaning on wet paint (nobody said the gays were smart)

They are leaning on wet paint getting it all over their nice clothes. But at least it's all happy and colourful, I'm sure they'll appreciate that :)

Look, nobody said the gays were smart. These two are peak representation of that; theSE TWO, in their nice clean outfits and everything, decided to lean on THE WALLS THEY JUST PAINTED, hair and all. The paint hasn't dried. They know this; they painted the walls themselves. And yet together, they have decided to lean on the wall, knowing full well the consequences. Peak dumbass duo behavior. There was a braincell and they used it to paint a wall each and then nothing else.

[uncaught-coolfish]

in honor of yang living her best romcom life while ruby spirals in vol 9, heres my ranking of rwby siblings worst to best.

1. cinder/step sisters - i think cinder is cool for murdering her family, good for her

2. rainart twins - sir, how are you serving the lady who controlled the monsters that killed your sister. justice for gretchen, she died with the braincell, leaving her brother a dumbass

3. schneeblings - not winter mirroring jacque and slapping weiss while weiss holds a loaded gun to her brother's face, the kids are not ok someone check on the schneeblings

4. light/darkness - kinda awkward when your bickering traumatized a girl and her boyfriend so she tried to usurp your throne and then you ended up wiping out humanity haha

5. branwen twins - raven, i love you, but she really left her brother and family to play walmart wild west. what.

6. ruby/yang - for this month, we celebrate a girly who prioritizes true love while her sister is having a breakdown <3

7. albain bros - rip to fennec, they're a theater duo and it just aint the same when your brother isnt there to burn down society with you :(

8. arc siblings - jaune really out here pretending having sisters is a tragic backstory, this is why younger siblings dont deserve rights

9. malachite sisters - they share clothes and talk mad shit about people behind their back with each other, good for them

10. alyx/lewis - when he's back, he turned around and waited for alyx but she never passed through. time moves on, he's gone but his hope for his sister to reunite with him lives on in a story where she comes home. in a world about fairytale, lewis wrote a story where his sister, flaws and all, is a hero. hands down, the only siblings that matter.

😭 alyx and lewis deserved better they rlly are the best sibs now that I think about it

[genshinconfessions]

I'm a shipper myself and enjoy romantic ship stuff, but I still wish some characters relationship would have been portrayed as platonic in this fandom. As an example we can take the duo I like as platonic the most: HeiKazu. I would kill for them, they're my babies and I love them. I don't mind people shipping them, you do whatever you do, but whenever I try to search for some fanart between them all I see is romantic stuff.

Again, I don't mind people shipping them, but the lack of platonic content (and fanarts) between them makes me go :(. To me, Heizou is a guy who someday picked Kazuha, a raccoon from a trashcan, up and befriended him ever since . They're friends who share a singular braincell

Same goes for many other duos, like: Zhongchi, KazuScara, EiMiko and etc. I ship KazuScara and EiMiko myself (I'm #1 KazuScara shipper), but seeing platonic arts between characters who are usually portrayed as lovers (KazuScara and Eimiko (they're my favourite ships, so), as an example) in this fandom would make me the happiest person on earth.

In conclusion: I wish platonic art in genshin fandom would get more recognition and love AND appreciation

just thinking about all the cute steddie moments we could’ve had like yesss i love what we got! but imagine if eddie was still around and they really got to know each other, like their walls come down and they stop playing it cool and realize the other is also a dingus 🖤

just imagine steve seeing eddie be super passionate about his music and D&D and falling a billion times harder for him. eddie noticing steve is pretty lonely at home so he starts coming over  ALL the time and they get up to the most stupid and dorky things.

eddie constantly showing up at steve’s work just to annoy him but steve secretly loves it and it makes his day when eddie shows up. steve coming to eddie’s gigs with corroded coffin and being eddie’s #1 fan. steve & eddie getting high and this whole other super chill side of steve comes out and they get up to the dumbest, funniest shit!

steve & eddie annoying all the kids especially dustin TOGETHER and just them being dorks and getting up to crazy things and having that 0 braincell energy. eddie quickly becoming part of the robin & steve duo and now it’s a trio and they’re always together!! eddie and steve babysitting the kids together and just acting like they’re SO over it but secretly they love it.

steve “let me turn on my charm” harrington and eddie “flattery works with me” munson would’ve been so cute together </33

Hello Again!

The monopoly man/regal anon has returned! I just finished reading your Vampire set and it was very good and it has inspired the some monster themed musing in my head. Especially regarding Wriothesley, like imagine a big burly wolf themed man getting treated like he is small delicate thing by a massive werewolf reader; or the inverse werewolf Wriothesley absolutely folding to the whims of a human reader despite his power and size over them. Just some food for thought. Tragic we don't have more on his character yet, otherwise I would put these musings properly to paper.

What do you think? Also, I hope this is finding you well!

HELLOOOO MONOPOLY MAN/REGAL ANON !! (do... do you want to claim it as an anon name or an emoji and join my list of anons 👀)

Thank you for reading the vamp set hehe! MMM yes I've seen a lot of responses in the google form for Bloodied Fangs talking about werewolves too!! Ur thoughts are so super duper seen right now nonnie 👁️👁️

I wish we knew more about Wriothesley too! It'll be easier to bounce more thoughts around about him that way HAHAHA although I love brainrotting about headcanons too ^^

There are a couple thoughts about a werewolf and human duo dynamic with Wriothesley that I have rn though:

1. Human!reader x werewolf!Wriothesley - you're so right about him folding to your every whim, I feel like he'd be a pretty reliable guard dog around you in public, always at attention by your side, looking out for you. But when in private, he's so weak for you, becoming a lapdog almost. He never wants to be without you, especially when it gets closer to a full moon. GOD, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON FULL MOON TRANSFORMATIONS!! ;3c

2. Werewolf!reader x human!Wriothesley - lots of thoughts about sparring with him, you get him in a headlock for the first time and he swears he saw heaven for those few seconds, you're worried about being too rough with him during the fights but he's mentally calculating how he can get you to pin him down. oh, a cuter thought would be that he styles his hair into those 2 spiky tufts so that they look kinda like your wolf ears!! so cute :3

I haven't really thought of a double werewolf dynamic because all I can really come up with with my 1 available braincell right now is an omegaverse scenario hmm...

ANYWAYS hope these lil werewolf thoughts sate your hunger at least a little itty bitty bit!! Hope your day is kind to you!!! <3

[akai-anna]

i saw the ship opinion bingo AND I REALLY WANNA ASK FOR OOFURI so here i am. obviously i wanna know about abemiha, tajihana and akimaru haruna!! but also mihashi/haruna, abe/haruna, mihashi/tajima and any other combo you want to ramble about I LOVE YOUR OPINIONS ON THESE THINGS

hi im back can you add izumi/shinooka and haruna + abemiha to the oofuri ship opinions bingo please

Mikh, you are the absolutely most precious thing, always enabling my Oofuri tendencies, bless your lovely soul, my darling. *whispers* I love you. Thank you so much for this.

Notes still apply:

i interpret relationships in the broadest possible sense

i check everything that makes sense to me, even if they seem contradictory; i view them applied to different situations/universes/possibilities

ship opinion bingo in question

I. Abe Takaya - Mihashi Ren

The No.1. Battery of my Heart they are, Ma'am

Where to even START WITH THESE TWO?

"MOST CODEPENDENT BITCHES ON EARTH" WAS PRACTICALLY MADE FOR THEM (as you could witness it in our reading sessions, god, you are an ANGEL FOR READING WITH ME!) and fits them like a glove. The canon material just provides so MUCH CONTENT FOR THEM already that I feel so well fed.

THE SHEER DEDICATION TOWARDS EACH OTHER, THEY CARE SO RIDICULOUSLY MUCH. THEY HAD TO SPEND A FEW WEEKS NOT PLAYING (NOT APART!!! JUST LIKE!! NOT PLAYING TOGETHER!!!) AS A BATTERY AND YET EVERY SECOND YOU COULD TELL THEY WANTED TO BE PLAYING TOGETHER. THEY ARE RIDICULOUS (already stupid enough on their own, no need for me to change anything there)!!!

ABE TAKAYA WHO CARES SO MUCH BUT ALSO CARRIES SO MUCH HURT FROM HIS PAST, WHO IS SHIT AT COMMUNICATING AND NEEDS TO GET HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS ARSE YET TRYING HIS BEST AND MIHASHI REN WHO WAS BULLIED SO MUCH HE LOST EVEN THE LAST DROP OF HIS SELF-CONFIDENCE SLOWLY OPENING UP AGAIN AND ALSO LEARNING HOW TO COMMUNICATE AND SLOWLY GAINING CONFIDENCE AND GROWING SO MUCH AS A PERSON AND AS PART OF THE TEAM! MY!! HEART!!! I'M FERAL OVER THEM MIKH, FERAL!!! The way Abe needs to learn to TRUST MIHASHI and let him MAKE DECISIONS TOO, and see that respect IS IMPORTANT (MIHASHI BEING BETTER THAN ABE AT COOKING!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, SUCH AN IMPORTANT LITTLE MOMENT!!! MIHASHI BEING MORE COMPETENT THAN ABE AT SOMETHING!!!) BOTH WAYS, and a battery is not a one-sided BUT A TWO-WAY THING (NOT JUST ABE GIVING SIGNS AND MIHASHI DOING WHAT HE IS TOLD BUT ALSO MAKING A DECISION TOGETHER!!!) I'M CRYING- AND THEN THERE IS MIHASHI WHO NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK HIS MIND ABOUT THINGS, WHO NEEDS TO LEARN THAT IT'S NOT JUST ABE THAT MAKES HIM AMAZING BUT HE IS PART OF THAT, IT'S NOT JUST ABE, IT'S HIM (AND THE WHOLE TEAM TOO!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!) TOO, AND HE IS SOMEONE TO BE RELIED ON TOO, SEE tHAT HE is GOOD TOO!!

I'll be honest, their bond is just so deep and so very meaningful to me. I personally don't view them as romantic, instead I see them as one of the most precious queer platonic relationships. (The very fact that I view Abe as aromantic, thank you canon material, is a big part of this.)

Honestly, as we read we gush about them a lot (obviously), and I still feel I could still go on about them forever. Have one of my favourite moments with them, that I feel started them on the whole journey for becoming so much better, so much closer, CORE ABEMIHA MOMENT, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ONLY WERE VERY HONEST WITH EACH OTHER BUT ALSO SAW THAT THINGS CANNOT REMAIN THE SAME AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO A BATTERY THAN THEY'VE BEEN DOING SO FAR (MUTUAL!!!) AND ONE OF THE VERY FIRST MOMENTS ABE'S BRAIN SHUT DOWN (but who can blame him, Mihashi's smile IS PRECIOUS AND HE WORKED SO HARD FOR IT), IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT TO ME!!

(But I was also so tempted to put the "But you are the one who cares about me the most" scene or the name calling scene here... It was a hard choice.)

⊱✿⊰

II. Mihashi Ren - Tajima Yuuichirou

The Natural Braincell Share Duo

I'm going with TajiMiha next for a reason, which is the VERY FACT THAT IT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF ABEMIHA. (Which I couldn't help but talk about in this post because I ADORE THE PARALLEL/CONNECTION SO MUCH.) So I'm sorry, I'll be talking about TajiMiha in relation to AbeMiha BC I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM.

Compared to Abe, Tajima has no problems communicating with Mihashi, they are on the same wavelength, TAJIMA IS LItERALLY THE tEAM'S MIHASHI tRANSLATOR, there is a mutual respect between them from almost the very start.

Tajima and Mihashi also seem to share other interests outside baseball, and non-interests too (Sir, they are SO STUPID, PLS tutoR thEM MORE).

While there is a solid foundation for AbeMiha battery that solely relies on Abe, TajiMiha battery WORKS TOGETHER FROM THE VERY START, MAKING DECISIONS TOGETHER, LEARNING TOGETHER, GOING THROUGH ThE PROCESS OF DECIDING THINGS, MAKING MISTAKES, ADJUSTING; TajiMiha having battery as equals, while AbeMiha being so ridiculously unbalanced at first (putting everything on Abe's shoulder).

Also the contrast between Tajima-Mihashi. Tajima, the star player with his natural talent, the very definition of Wild and Feral, always as bright as the fckin sun, loud and honest with his every feeling and thought, "he's got one mean presence" thought. Mihashi, the team's Ace (but thinking not by his own ability), lil anxiety birb who is afraid to say what he thinks but also having the loveliest of sunshine smiles if one takes the time to get to know him and ACCEPT HIM, "he's such a nice person" thought.

Tajima-Mihashi are so precious to me MIKH. SO PRECIOUS. The way they are just so COMFORtABLE WItH EACH OTHER. URGH. ALSO THE VERY FACT THAT TAJIMA IS A YOUNGEST BROTHER IN A BIG FAMILY BUT ALSO FEELS LIKE A BROTHER TO MIHASHI, IT'S PRECIOUS? ALSO SO READY TO PROTECT AND THROW HANDS FOR MIHASHI'S SAKE I'M!!! FERAL!!! AND THEN MIHASHI OUTRIGHT TELLING HIM THAT IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDING!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, ONE OF MY EVER FAVOURITE SCENES!!

⊱✿⊰

III. Hanai Azusa - Tajima Yuuichirou

The True Rivals TM

Yes, I'm going with them for the third round because basically, they are my main romantic ship (don't ask why, brain chemistry said so, and idk why). I'm SO ATTACHED TO THEM, THEY REALLY AFFECT AND INSPIRE EACH OTHER SO MUCH, CONSTANTLY MAKING ONE ANOTHER WORK HARD TO BETTER THEMSELVES AND CATCH UP TO ONE ANOTHER.

Tajima being the Force Of Nature that he is, the Natural Talent (not that he doesn't work hard! HE DOES!!! But also the very fact he only needs a few tries to achieve something! GOD! HE'S SO BRIGHT!!) and having so much CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF TOO, BEING SUCH A RELIABLE PLAYER ON THE FIELD. And then you have Hanai: who can be so awkward, despite trying his hardest, still feeling like he is failing, feeling INADEQUATE NEXT TO TAJIMA, despite the fact that before Nishiura he thought of himself as a good player. Very reliable and responsible off field (TEAM CAPTAIN MATERIAL!!!!), but not feeling so next to Tajima, esp on the field. IT BREAKS AND HEALS ME.

AND THEN AS TIME MOVES ON HANAI BECOMES BETTER, MORE SURE OF HIMSELF. TAJIMA BECOMES MORE CONSCIOUS OF HIM. LIKE GOD LORD. IF YOU ASK WHO THEY ARE COMPETING AGAINST? THEY HAVE EACH OTHER AS THEIR IDEAL, AS THEIR RIVAL, I'M!!! FCKIN FERAL, MIKH!!!

HANAI "I DON'T LIKE MY NAME" AZUSA, FROM THE FIRST MOMENT HE SUSPECTS GIVEN NAMES ARE GOING TO BECOME A THING FOR THE TEAM, FREEZING UP AND PALING AND ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OUT BC HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE CALLED AZUSA, REFUSING TO SAY HIS OWN GIVEN NAME WHEN IT COMES UP, INSISTING ON BEING CALLED "HANAI", AND EVERY TIME WHEN SOMEONE SAYS "AZUSA" YOU CAN SEE HIM DYING A LITTLE INSIDE, ONLY TO SAY IT OUT LOUD THAT HE DISLIKES HIS OWN NAME (discreetly to a couple of his teammates only, INCLUDING TAJIMA), FOR TAJIMA TO CATCH ON HE DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO TRAINING AT THE TAJIMAS' BC OF THE NAME CALLING THING, AND THEN ONLY FOR TAJIMA TO BE LIKE "OK I'LL TELL EVERYONE NOT TO CALL YOU AZUSA", WHICH LEADS TO HANAI "AWKWARD AND EMBARRASSED" AZUSA TO DIE MORE INSIDE. REST IN PIECES SON. (THIS BIT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME, I'M RAMBLING, I'M SORRY. TRAINING AT THE TAJIMAS' IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ARCS IN THE WHOLE OF OOFURI.)

Already went through the whole ship tag, both on AO3 and FF.net and i'm dead inside. (oh why OH WHY IS OOFURI AND A SMALL FANDOM IN WESTERN PARTS!!! WHY IS TAJIHANA A FAIRLY RARE SHIP!!! A CRIME, YOUR HONOUR, A CRIME!!! I'm still digging around for more fics, but those 2 sources are out now. *cries tears of blood*)

Hanai's whole Internal Crisis during the Nishiura VS Sakitama game? IT HAS MY HEART, I LOVE MY BOY SO SO SO MUCH. (Not to mention the little moments you can see how big a crush he has on Tajima. Everyone has a bit of a crush on Tajima Yuuichirou, but Hanai's is the biggest. God, bless his heart.)

I'll be honest. I wanted to include like... *checks* 6 different scenes (some a few pages long) for TajiHana. But I'm trying to limit myself bc 30 pic/Post limit so. *coughs* I'm only leaving these 2 here (A side and B side, if you will). (Also, sorry for the mild spoiler, bear with me.)

⊱✿⊰

IV. Akimaru Kyouhei - Haruna Motoki

Most Ridiculous and Devoted Childhood Friends TM

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM MIKH. THEY ARE SO RIDICULOUS, SO ENDEARING, SO STUPID, and definitely in a relationship (is it just friendship? is it romantic? is it the Annoyer and Annoyed? who knows, but THEY ARE DEFINITELY TELEPATHICALLY CONNECTED AND IN A RELATIONSHIP).

God, Haruna wanting Akimaru to be as serious about baseball as the rest of the team, TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT IT AS HIMSELF, IT HAS ME SHAKING, HE CARES SO VERY MUCH, and the next second he kicks and smacks him (LOVE LANGUAGE, IT'S HARUNA'S LOVE LANGUAGE!!), God, GOD.

Akimaru, who is so very laid-back (at FIRST, WE ARE CURRENTLY READING THE TURNING POINT MATCH MIKH CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT INCOMING!!!), only was there to help Haruna out, only to start THINKING later on, after he sees how much Haruna CARES, how the TEAM CARES, IT'S SO DELICIOUS!!

Akimaru is a Good Guy, really, I love how he sucks at baseball outside catching Haruna's pitches (for the time being), but he is SUCH A CASUALLY NICE PERSON, and the way he can so easily get on Haruna's nerves is one of my favourite things, YET ALSO REMINDING HARUNA OF THINGS HE FORGETS!!!

Haruna caring so much that he CAN GET ANNOYED AT THE SMALLEST OF THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO AKIMARU, I LOVE AN IDIOT, WHO FORGETS SHIT SO MUCH.

TO BRING BACK SOMETHING NICE FROM OUR READING: THEY ARE JUST SO STUPID, MIKH, I LOVE THEM-

V. Haruna Motoki - Mihashi Ren

Abe's Ex-Pitcher and Current-Pitcher

Not much to check here, but, but... I really love their dynamics. Obviously, the connecting points for them are 1) Abe and 2) Pitching.

I absolutely love what a different perception they have of each other! From the first moment, Mihashi thinking that Haruna is awesome (despite everything Abe says about him), even sort of having him as his goal as a pitcher, and Haruna looking down on the weird lil guy, talking about dichotomy LMAO

Only for it to be not Looking Down as time moves on (and interactions happen) and a sort of more Realistic admiration on Mihashi's part. (HE COULD GO AGAINST HARUNA IN A WAY!)

THEIR INTERACTIONS ARE SO UTTERLY FUNNY AND RIDICULOUS, I LOVE THEM!

Another Mihashi translator (pitchers are a weird species, but they get each other it seems).

VI. Abe Takaya -Haruna Motoki

The Bitter Exes TM

I cannot believe my FIRST BINGO TURNED OUT TO BE "HE'S THE WORST PITCHER" AND "HE HAS A NASTY PERSONALITY" DUO, HOLY SHIT-

As we already established it at our lil Oofuri talks: They Are The Bitter Exes (bless you Mikh). Even if (usually) I don't see them in a romantic context, they are still Exes TM. (Ex-Friends surely exist too, right? And so Ex-Battery Mates.) And they totally didn't end well. And totally stupid and fcked up.

The very fact that they have such vastly different opinions of each other, all based on their perceptions and misunderstandings, just makes this dynamic so layered and delicious. All the hurt Abe is carrying with him EVEN NOW, while Haruna is like "Oh, you talkin' about that!"

The fact that Abe cannot help but COMPARE all pitchers to Haruna, being so affected by the experiences, that he cannot let go of Haruna in a way (which is also a backwards way to say he cared and respected him so much that the BETRAYAL hurt him so much, it wounded him for, if not life, but even till the current timeline).

While for Haruna, Abe's presence and perseverance actually helped him so much through his hardships when he was injured.

AND THEN THEY FINALLY TALKED ABOUT IT, AND THEY BOTH HAD TO REALIZE THAT THEY WERE SO WRONG ABOUT SHIT, I'M IN TEARS, MA'AM-

Moving on from this section, I could put the whole conversation they had in here bc GOD THAT WAS SO GOOD, SO NEEDED, SO BEAUTIFUL, but have only these 2 pages to save space.

VII. Abe Takaya - Haruna Motoki - Mihashi Ren

The Old Battery and The New Battery

I LOVE THESE 3 TOGETHER, THEY ARE JUST SO SILLY TOGETHER, and I already talked about them separately, so imagine all of that put into one bowl AND MIXED.

Abe's complicated feelings towards Haruna, his hardworking personality, how his bond with Mihashi is so very different from Haruna's.

Mihashi's admiration for both Abe and Haruna, and wanting them to get along because he SEES HOW MUCH ABE HAS BEEN HURT, and seeing that he still CARES about Haruna.

Haruna, thanks to his current team, being in much better spirits, and admitting he was at fault too (and that he was also in a bad place, but that didn't make what he did ok!), appreciating Abe in his own way.

And yet Abe and Haruna still just going "he's the worst control" or "he'S NASTY" IT'S HILARIOUS, while Mihashi is there "They are amazing!"

No particular scene comes to mind (aside the ones I shared in the HaruMiha section) for these 3, no caps this time.

VIII. Izumi Kousuke - Shinooka Chiyo

I'm going to be pretty boring this time, because as I'm nowhere near invested in them, I don't have much to say. I can only say that they ARE ADORABLE.

Hope you enjoyed this Rambling Session, my dearest Mikh, and hope you had fun reading this absolute word-vomit.

[khaleesiofalicante]

Shades of gray was soooooo amazing!!! I read it in three nights and it was honestly a great way of going to sleep💙

Alec is so relatable fr. I will just be nodding whispering "mood" because he's thoughts are so on point and so godamn funny LMAO

Yeah, he's a mood but I would love it if my workplace made made Pijama Party Days!!! Can we switch, Alec??? I'll give you the paperwork and you give me the workplace!!! Or stop being so angsty!!!!

He's such a gay mess and I respect that😌

Me everytime Magnus speaks: ...and that's why I think this man should be my new religion mom and dad🙂

I love how Alec has just four moods here: angsty, done with everyone, gay and horny. I don't take criticism

I can't decide which pov makes me laugh more, Alec or Max's. They are both such dumbasses with 1 braincell and amazing sarcastic humor😂😂

Clave being cuties I see😎

There is something so refreshing about malec shamelessly flirting with each other. Idk what but it makes me smile so much🥺🥺

God. Please. No. Don’t do this to him. Alec is actually a semi-decent person. Don’t do this to him. Me when I face a mild inconvenience

The development of Alec and Clary's friendship is top tier and so them🥺. Also they are a comedic duo and I would kill for more interactions with them jshshsjjsjs

Jace is quiet for a long time before he speaks. “Have you considered plastic surgery?” two halves of a whole idiot 😌

Alec punching Asmodeus is all the therapy I need istg-

I looooved the gray paint analogy so much you have no idea. I used to feel like Alec a lot in the past. I don't anymore, but reading this made that old part of me feel at ease💙💙

“Because that’s life,” Magnus shrugs. “We do one thing after the other until we die.” idk what Alec is on, this is inspiring to me💙😂

I had a tlnd flashback with the breakfast-for-dinner thing😭😭

Alec grins. Wide. It hurts his whole face. But he doesn’t care. I CAN'T WITH HOW HAPPY HE IS BESIDES THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE OMG🥺🥺🥺

Contrary to popular belief, I do not enjoy putting Alec Lightwood in pain.

Gotta write shit like this every once in a while in case y'all spread false information 😭😭

Thanks, bb. I'm glad you liked it 💙

[tavina-writes]

Hiii, 2, 3, 14, 25 for the love fandom game!

MAR!!! :DDDD

2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

ooo this is a difficult one. I think I mostly gravitate towards headcanons that I actively really enjoy on the first look, but one that I like more over time has to be that LQR had a wild youth. What did this entail exactly? I'm still thinking about it! I just think that one's neat and it's gotten neater over time, aging like fine wine.

3. a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

I honestly think that I appreciate Jin Zixuan a lot more after interacting with fandom, partially out of a "what do you MEAN you think he's responsible for being zombie fisted???" and also out of other people's lovely meta about why his growth arc is what killed him and also caused him to be so tragic. I have grown to really love him out of love and also out of spite for his detractors. >.< maybe I'll always be a lil salty alas...

14. the ship that always makes you smile

JINGRONG JINGRONG JINGRONG. They're always so "I just think you're neat (and also the best person on earth)" about each other in every adaptation and every situation and I'm just! I love them so much. <3 I think I will always love them. What a good ship. Guo Jing has outsourced his braincells to Huang Rong and Huang Rong has outsourced her morality to Guo Jing and this makes them (1) whole duo to go adventuring together.

25. a piece of advice for taking care of yourself in fandom spaces

😌 the block button is so beautiful and my good friend. Truly many things are good, but I think that blocking and unfriending/unfollowing are one of the many ways we can be kind to ourselves and others in fandom. Bathing in negativity or takes that make you angry all day don't serve any purpose but to suck joy out of a thing, and while I think a little salt is good every now and again, curating your fandom experience is so essential for continuing to find joy in it. (Also truly I don't think anyone who's venting about how they hate my favorite character wants me to come to their post to lay out reasons why I love [x] character and they're so good and correct either lolsob, so we save ourselves and the people who have takes we don't like with the big beautiful block button. 😌)

:D thanks for the ask!

[hecateisalesbian]

ok, for the ask game:

Originally I was just gonna say “ALLA THEM” and then I realized there’s 100 of them so for your sake (and mind) I’m gonna say nope to that

[mondaymelon]

Re: SKZ comeback teasers - I SAW and I'm so o|< kind of glad I'm calmed down from the mania of buying every single skz related thing for a year now (given that these mfs release like a comeback every 6 months im actually JFKSNFKSNFJE TAKE A BREAK??

Re: Vampires - there's an old old thing i read (off another fanfic, i think) where like vampires have soulmates and if they feed off their blood it's like the soulmate, if human, wont feel pain (quite the opposite) and they their blood would taste like smth nostalgic or anything that temporarily reconnects them to their human self - or anything that would feel... whats the word... euphoric??? Idk maybe my brain hallucinated like half of the concept but here you go
