#((but here have Op being able to tell he’s there XD))

[aprimesrpcorner]

Starscream stares (politely) at the Prime. He tries to not make it obvious, but it is super obvious. Maybe the reason he thinks his sneaky about it is because his on his hanging platform.

And the prime was busy working on something on her datapad. Even with her sudden changes, she still had a job to do, and uphold her part in it. It was a bit more difficult though, having to get used to this frame was a challenge.

But it wasn’t hard to tell the seeker was staring. In fact she could see it in the corner of her optics.

“I can see you staring, Starscream.”

Not a surprise, primes were very keen on sight, and alert. They had to be for their safety, but she didn’t seem angry, more so she just had an acknowledgment tone in her voice, and one of a commanders.

“Is there something you may need? Or rather I assume you have questions about…this”

It wouldn’t surprise her, she’s been getting questions all day. But she didn’t look over until she was satisfied with her work, and place the datapad down.

Guess what episode I am up to? You guessed it! The kaishin flashback episode!!! Time to see the (technically) first meeting between these fated two!

Jii telling Kaito he would never be able to face Toichi if his son ever got in too much trouble, not knowing his father is the one that has set his son up to do his job for him... Just your daily reminder to say fuck you to Kaito's parents! Jii, adopt him.

I love we get to see a proper insight into Kaito's personality in the DC verse.

And we also get to see how bad Gosho's romance has always been with Aoko and Kaito. A different type of terrible but still terrible (Aoko you can't just rip up other people's belongings). And sadly this was just mild of them.

Akako, you will be missed. This is probably the only time that the DC universe will allow you to be in it's series.

Don't insult Saguru like that, Nakamouri! He's more competant than you are <.<

Kaito: This heist is too easy.

Shinichi: Don't worry, it won't be soon.

Kaito wondering who is helping out the police T-T Don't worry, that's your future husband!

Nakamouri why are you assaulting a poor man who is just helping you out.

Oh how thematic for him to shoot the ace of spades, the symbol used often to represent his future husband.

Megure... you really just let a teenager swipe a gun off you and shoot it.

Gosho really believes you meet your soulmate at the age of 4 T-T Well, he was right about something, Kaito did meet the love of his life at that clock tower, it's just not with the character he wants us all to believe he did :p

Also can I just point out, again, how much Kaito and Aoko look like siblings here?

I don't want anyone, especially canon enjoyers, to say anything about Kaishin ever again.

Huh, we were left with subtle hints about the switch with Kogoro at the start by showing how much he smokes and having each shot of him driving in the OP showing him smoking.

Kaito nearly killed someone.

Saguru!! It's nice to finally meet you in the DC universe too!

This is why you don't buy expensive cars, some weirdo will just blow them up.

You guys are all just feeding Kaito's ego here.

Hakuba: We won't be killed by him but he will prank us (speaking from experience here, love)

Kaito: Damn, all you detectives are assholes, aren't you.

It's interesting that Renya, who we all know to be the big bad of this series, was introduced in what is technically a KID episode, though I think Gosho's said that went it comes to their criminal organizations, neither Shinichi or Kaito will be involved in helping each other.

Alelele~

Renya is not as dead as he wants everyone to believe, old lady.

Saguru being the only one prepared for escaping the place, just in case XD The boy who is always prepared.

...Okay, I'm not sure if this is just the subs but did Kaito just call both Shinichi and Saguru his lovers (that he doesn't want to meet but whatever I'm ignoring that part). Welp, I'm just taking that as proof for my ship :p (I guess those who ship Saguru and Kaito can too <.<).

[leafdrake-haven]

Ok so if I wanna get back into doing stuff with my OC’s I gotta like, figure out what they’re doing xD

Trying to lay some groundwork for Rhynn here.

Post War of the Spark— Not doing great. Lots of survivor’s guilt and blaming herself for being a planeswalker and wondering if she hurt Ravnica while being there. (Obviously not her fault but worrying it is) Her Ravnica friend group is trying to help but she’s being a bit flighty. Ayden (to my knowledge, if this is still @connoissuer-of-fine-vines intentions) went off to Theros without saying bye in person (he is also obviously dealing with shit).

Elrick convinces (low key forces) her to take a vacation away from Ravnica so she can get some distance from the situation. She does a blind jump and winds up on Perenia (my fan plan). Ends up meeting Helis (Fanwalker from Perenia. He wound up on Ravnica during the war and Did Not Care For That). They end up befriending each other (and being into each other 👀). I���m working on this story and have the first chapter out on tumblr. I’ve got some overall ideas how their time on Perenia goes, including some fun CONFLICT.

Rhynn and Helis end up going back to Ravnica (Rhynn had to do much convincing, Helis really didn’t want to go back there). If timing is still right Ayden is also returning to Ravnica around this time, also with new powers in tow (👀). Elrick recommends they go study magic an Strixhaven. The Gang Goes To School.

This is where timing gets funky. Cause like they have to be able to apply/get into the school and actually start studying. How long are they there before they really can pick colleges? I want Rhynn to study a little at Quandrix but also, surprisingly, mostly at Witherbloom. Life and healing magic is something she already knows a lot about. Learning more about potions/poisons is something she’s intrigued by because of Elrick. But I also want this to be a good time for her to confront her fear of necromancy. Really embracing the circle of life and death in magic. I don’t think she’ll ever be a necromancer but learning to use life force magic could be beneficial. I want her to meet Witherbloom (big life/death dragon for the Dromoka Tarkir native yes please). Low key I actually would really like if Liliana became a pseudo mentor to her while she was there. So far I’ve managed to avoid too much interaction with canon characters but hey what’s the fun in that 😅 We also had an idea for my other fanwalker Tali to be there and be an antagonist of sorts. Never got fully fleshed out though.

Back to weird timing. The phyrexian invasion is coming up and I haven’t decided where I want Rhynn to be for that. She visits Ravnica frequently and I know the Gatewatch recruited walkers there. They would know of Rhynn at least because of the WotS. And let’s be real, they could use more healers in the Gatewatch. And after WotS Rhynn really would want to help against interplanar threats. So it feels like her being recruited makes sense. Again though, that’s reeeeeally putting her into the real plot. She could easily just not be at Ravnica while people come recruiting. And tbh Elrick would NOT tell her cause he doesn’t want her running off and doing a self-sacrifice.

So! I gotta decide, insert Rhynn into the plot or nah. I think she would probably stay behind on Dominaria as like a field medic or something maybe. She might try to go to Phyrexia but I think it would scare her too much and she wouldn’t want to compromise the team. Also I keep going back and forth on if her empathic abilities would help her detect phyrexian sleeper agents or not. Feels potentially OP but not necessarily impossible. But if Jace couldn’t detect sleeper agents, then she probably couldn’t. Telepathy and empathy are different but like she’s not on his level at that.

Now post invasion. I can’t decide if she’s losing her spark or not. Narratively it could be interesting. Especially since her adopted father is a planeswalker who lost his spark before they even met. But idk I like her having it just for fun reasons. Also deciding if Elrick would want to leave Ravnica now that there are Omenpaths. Myree would love exploring but I think Elrick would be nervous leading his teenage daughter around into unknown dangers. Plus he’s made a certain amount of peace with losing his spark and not leaving Ravnica. But seeing Fiora again… showing it to Rhynn and Myree…. Hmmmmmm Dx But he loves his house and what he’s built there.

Anyway I basically have to decide if/which of my walkers are losing their sparks. Where everyone was during the invasion (lol I’m too wimpy to compleat anyone or kill anyone off). Then I can catch everyone up to the plot. Hopefully before Tarkir. I actually WAS going to make some Tarkir dragon walker OCs to kickstart my own return to Tarkir but now I wanna see how they’re gonna do it xD Might still make those characters tho….

And my planebound OCs! Will they want to leave Ravnica???? I just don’t know :O

Anyway if you made it this far in the ramblings you should go get yourself a tasty treat. Just getting my thoughts out there xD

[bluiex]

HIZIES!!!! Is 🌸🐚🌹! I just had a two hour nap cause I was tired as shit- Anyway,I was spamming 🌺🪸🥀 as I does, and for whatever reason I was some how able to get her out of her comfort zone for shipping and we ended up with Scor(Scott and Scar) and Scango(Scott and Tango)(btw I came up with those names). And then a random quote turned into angst + comfort.

Scott not taking care of himself(Like every other fic ever- *gets shot*) so like Tango forces him to take care of himself by saying “time is fake, go to sleep” and just drags him to bed.

Saw this Reddit post about someone’s husband trying to khs but his wife(the poster) found out and stopped them.(Husband was trying to buy life threatening drugs, wife tells the dealer off) after that OP starts to show extra affection, even if it embarrasses OP or husband. Then like years or months later OP has a nightmare about husband dying, wakes husband up with the crying and then explains the nightmare and husband is like “why would that be bad?”, OP starts to explain how terrible it be if he died. And when I saw this, I was spamming 🌺🪸🥀 about how that is so Jimmy or Scar coded- So we’re doing Scar and Scott cause we more Scor in our lives.(I’ll force her to write some for this)

Setting up camp has become a ritual for the two of them now. Every night, No matter where they are, Scott chooses a spot and then Scar build a fire and cooks them dinner. He always cooks a little extra just incase. After they eat Scott sets up two sleeping bags. Then they crawl in, Stargaze for a little and fall asleep. It was just them.(This is very rewritten from an old Genshin thing I had in my drafts before just gave up on it)

ON THE MENTION OF GENSHIN- (This is vey much a shit thing I just grabbed)Hermitcraft x Empires x Genshin Impact? Anyone? Like Grian is Aether, Pearl is Lumine(Or we can switch Grian for Scott cause you know- he’s a star),I’m think if to make Scott Paimon- OR JIMMY!(Im just gunna do Mondstadt for now)Xisuma or Kerlise is very Jean, Sausge is so Kaeya, Zedaph is kinda Klee(best girl), Kathrine is really giving Amber vides, I don’t think any matches Lisa(maybe Gem, but without the flirting), Cub is Albedo(Both are mad scientist willing to do anything, even if they die), Sucrose, Ren is without questions Razor, Scar or Jimmy or Oli is Bennett(Cause all three of them just have such bad luck XD), Xiangling, Doc is very much Diluc, Pix is Venti cause I feel like Pix gives Barbatos energy but /def not Venti vibes(Or Grian maybe) , Scott is very much Mona, Fucking made you pay twenty thousand mora just to tell you your a Leo then makes a run for it if you blame him for scamming. Shelby is giving Eula.(Also might change these if I every come back to it)

"The bird which is caged it's entire life wonders how freedom is, and the bird with freedom wonders about the safety of being in a cage".

The cage bird is Grian. The bird that is free is Jimmy. 

(They totally get into a small fight that Scott and Scar have to force them to fix❤️)

-🌸🐚🌹(I disappeared for a bit then I got hit by a truck of ideas)

I don't know a thing about genshin but I am here for it!!

BLEACH: Thousand-year Blood War ep 9 review

*Screams of joy.*

It's finally here.

Kenpachi VS. Kenpachi.

And we just got a taste of it as the next episode will be the bomb one!

Even so...even so!!

That half of the episode that we already got was so good.

The fact Zaraki was shedding a tear at the mere thought of not being able to defeat Yachiru Unohana was brilliant. The fact his brain knows something is wrong and will go even more so after that moment of 'slip', but he will still go on. The next episode will just be brilliant. Trust me, non-manga readers.

Anyway, the animation between the duo's start of fighting was beautiful. I loved the tension in the air and how the animators cut to Isane and Yachiru to show those two are waiting for their loved ones. But only one can come back. The fact Yachiru merely murmured 'Ken-chan' was super heartbreaking, just like Isane turning into a crying mess.

Even so...man. I just loved how Yachiru Unohana was all boss-lady toward Zaraki, telling him to shut the hell up and just fight. That she has gotten better and he has turned weaker. But the storm clouds on the horizon? Her admitting her sin? Yes, oh yes. I'm just fangirling here because this will be as good as Yamamoto VS. fake!Yhwach.

The beginning of the episode continued in a somewhat light line we got from the last episode. There were hints of gravity of things here and there, but not so much.

I'm happy Tenjiro admitted his specialty was hohō, because when the manga rolled the Zero Squad was left quite mysterious. While it was somewhat okay, the fact we learned a bit new was nice. (Or, if that point was mentioned in the manga, I can't really remember it.) It was also nice how he explained how strong Ichigo has gotten, though...it was kinda sad we didn't get to see Byakuya getting up and Tenjiro questioning if he should. I guess the animators are cutting some funny/fan-service things, just to emphasize some parts more to fit the general spacing of things. (Or, we get to see later on Byakuya admitting he is feeling all dizzy from the power.)

Kirio's cooking scene was very adorable! If that didn't make everybody think their mother or grandmother cooking way too much food for them, that's somewhat sad. After all, food made with care and love is the best~. Or, at least Kirio gave such a motherly vibe. I loved the contrast of her being all motherly, yet the boys (Ichigo and Renji) were all suspicious of her, because of Urahara. xD Goes to show how big an influence Urahara has had upon the duo and the fact they've come a bit more cautious than at the beginning of everything. Even so...it was a good thing they understood the main point of this all. I also liked the fact it was Renji who got his moment to shine, by explaining that and Mama Kirio praised him for that~.

It'll be a tough time for everybody from onwards as after the good bath and meal, it's time for the training! Though, some will have it harder and deadlier manner...

Still very excited about the upcoming Kenpachi VS. Kenpachi.

Also, as a side note, the fact when Kyoraku becomes the head captain, what does he do? Makes sure Nanao will join him and also arranges Kenpachi VS. Kenpachi match. While I get the reason why he wanted Nanao to join him, I never fully understood the Kenpachi match...after all, from a certain point, it makes sense Yachiru Unohana would train Zaraki Kenpachi to become OP but in another hand...sacrificing either her or him for the sake of making Zaraki stronger or failing in it (we manga readers know how it'll go down), feels a ridiculous? After all, while one ferocious Kenpachi can do a lot of damage to their enemies, they're still only one person. Then again, the implications I've seen some people making about Yachiru Unohana and how tired she seems to be, makes kind of sense, but again...it was, in the end, Kyoraku who called on the match (did he wish to honor Yachiru Unohana? Or just harvest the strongest Kenpachi for the next round what comes to Quincies or what?) I don't know. Something in that all always rubbed me the wrong way, even though the emotional impact and otherwise the fight was epic. But if we peel off all that 'glory'... I hope the animators give some sort of explanation for that or at least shed light to Kyoraku's motives.

[beardedhandstoadshark]

formal invitation to drop a stupid amount of oc lore, if you’re so inclined! 😳😳

THANK YOU BUT ALSO I’m gonna have to tell you a secret, c’mere

…

I have no idea what I‘m doing with the lore

Ignoring anything related to character traits and such, The short version is:

Red: 23, ex-Hero, quit being one 2y ago, got her current scarf back then, dipped because of expectations she couldn’t/didn’t wanna meet, got a grandpa, still helps out anyone who asks.

Deniz: 20, resident from a small village set on a bunch of super high and windy cliffs, only one with complete (and functioning) family, good at sailing, left because of the sameness of each day becoming unbearable.

Mage: 23, magic merchant man, aka merchant for antiques, relics, and standard rpg shop stuff. Really good at dark magic, went way too far with it once and it tinted his eyes green, emotional attachment to scarf because of missing/probably dead friend, gold thingy in hair helps detect magic, =) is his default face (on purpose).

Yel: 24, not his actual name but a nickname from Mage, couldn’t follow his dream so he became the next best thing aka delivering stuff to hard-to-reach places, only-child with 2 parents, very good at outside stuff and basic medic things, :| is his default face (not on purpose).

Violet: 19, royalty, gifted child syndrome/burnout, really high light magic potential but it tends to be unstable/uncontrolled, was pretty much playing Rapunzel locked in her tower because of that, lots of siblings, has at least one abduction/attempted sacrificing behind her because being op + locked up + other family related stuff = rumors about her being able to bring forth the apocalypse.

And then there’s a bunch of smaller oc‘s I don’t really actively "use“ aside from maybe a drawing here or there.

(If that’s all you wanna know, you can stop reading here)

The WORLD started out as/ is mostly still just "fantasy rpg but the internet is a thing“ feat. Light/Dark based magic. So it’s every fantasy setting ever but they’ve got phone signals and stuff. If it ever comes up, currency will be called El because the implications of the European Union or US or whatever existing here are kinda funny but not something I wanna deal with XD Cent is still Cent tho, that one‘s universal enough to work since it’s just derived from the word for 100. There may or may not also be a corruption infestation thing going on. Jury‘s still out on that one (as in, idk if I wanna go that far with the setting, but it’d at least fit with whatever the heck is going on in Red‘s lore).

For Magic, Light is basically giving energy to the surrounding while Dark is taking it away. So stuff like fire and ice is also part of light and dark. Because of that, light works best in dark/cold places (lots of area to brighten/heat up; you can only see stars during the night) and dark when its well lit/warm (needs light to cast shadows, lots of stuff to absorb). If someone uses too much of it over a short period of time, it can have lasting effects, usually first noticeable by a change of eye color. (Light = cold, light tones, dark = warm, Dark tones)

(YOU CAN STOP READING HERE, REALLY)

But if not…the long version:

it keeps changing. A lot. To the point where, as of right now, they kinda don’t…have any lore? Because I‘ve essentially been throwing everything I had out of the window/got the feeling whatever‘s going on is too cringe/cliche.

Red‘s is currently the most…stable, I guess?

Did the classic "go on an adventure to save the kidnapped princess/world“ thing 2-3 years ago, because of that was knighted and officially recognized as The HeroTM (and given her current green scarf), but went into "hiding" shortly after cuz everyone had these ridiculously high expectations of what/how The Hero should do/act that she couldn’t live up to or started treating her differently, + didn’t feel like only standing there as a real life attraction could help anyone.

So Red essentially quit, and went home helping people and adventuring from there. And then ran into Violet, which happened shortly before where the timeline’s currently at. The two bells on a string acting as a second hair tie have been in her possession since childhood, and act as a good luck charm. Has a grandpa, + I‘m thinking about adding a sibling. (Also may or may not be able to hear music fitting the vibe of whatever place she’s in- still not sure about that one). That original concept still applies more or less. But as for the other oc’s…oof.

Deniz and Yel both don’t have. Much going on?

Yel isn’t his actual name but a nickname he got from Mage because his bag + hair is Yellow and his voice can be incredibly loud if he wants to. Also I just couldn’t find a fitting name. His dream had always been becoming a Ranger, but due to various things including severe shortsightedness and dumb rules, never got to fulfill it. (Outside of some basic training).Therefore became the next-best thing that‘d allow him to still be frequently outside and not be glued in a single place too much to at least sometimes take paths through forests- which was becoming a postman. Specifically for special deliveries and places that can’t be easily reached. So it’s…more of a courier thing, really?

Which is also how he came to know a lot people, including Red for kinda becoming her personal mailman during that whole adventure thing, the usual deliverer for Mage’s shop stuff, and normal post for Deniz. Without knowing it himself, is actually rather well known as the mailman guy. Got a decent grasp on first aid from that basic training. Animal and health nerd. Good at foraging. Got no siblings but 2 very precious parents (I have yet to design in any way, if at all). Ridiculous constitution. Aaaand that’s about it. Probably the most realistic but compared to all the cool oc’s people have on here idk if it’s interesting?

Deniz is even worse. His whole deal is "npc joined the party“. He‘s literally just some guy from a small village built at the top of a bunch of very windy cliffs (hence why Yel delivers stuff to them because it’s kinda hard to reach otherwise). Originally he was just supposed to be concept villager for said place, which was an idea for what a beach village would look like if the ocean didn’t just rise a bit with the tides in daily cycles but like 40m in a year. (Insert funky microclimate reasons here).

It’s still visible in the attempted beach theme in his design and name, as it means ocean (+ it’s the only one not a color pun so that’s nice). Also he‘s good at sailing because it’s the main way of reaching other places during flood. As well as handing ropes. Met Red during her travels, helped out when she needed a ride later, and decided to stick around because of exploring/curiosity/felt trapped in the circle of doing the same things everyday. Got a bunch of family, and the only one who could do a complete "holiday dinner with the whole family at grandma’s“ thing. Most of his stuff is character-based and not background lore things though. Yeaaaaaa.

Then with Mage, his present appearance is pretty clear, but the background isn’t. Merchant for antiques, relics, and standard rpg shop stuff. Really good with dark magic. Like, that one’s solid. Then it gets a bit goofy. Used to have blue eyes, but overusage of magic over a period of time tinted them permanently green now. Originally became a traveling merchant when he was 18 to be able to search for his missing friend (the blue scarf‘s a reminder/glorified friendship bracelet). But then started realizing a) he‘s most likely dead by now, and b) actually genuinely enjoys the whole merchant thing, decided to open up shop permanently. Still can’t quite let go though. Orphan from an orphanage doubling as a school focused on magic, which is how he met said dead friend (called Rhyme because the idea was both having names 1 letter away from being a herb as a parallel.) And like. That’s fiiiine I guess?

But the events between [hanging out together] to [Rhyme goes missing] to [Mage chills here now] are. SO BAD. At one point it was "boarding school is actually super shady because those with high magic potential regularly go missing while they pretend they just graduated/got adopted/decided to go away/etc., and Rhyme was the newest disappearance which makes no sense for his character so Mage went off to find out what’s going on“ to "the same thing but Mage actually found out that whole place is super shady“ spiced with "he‘s now in this country because he‘s actually from across the border so they won’t search for him“ to "the only reason they’re not coming after him is because they think he‘s dead“. And all of these have variations where the whole place burned to the ground after the basement exploded (leading to them thinking he‘s dead). And ALSO that shady business might be connected to whatever the heck is going on with Violet‘s lore. So like. The whole thing is on ice now because idk if this is really anything worth using. Idk.

And then there’s her. As if Mage wasn’t bad enough, Violets lore was…messy. Really messy.

She’s royalty, got a lot of siblings, and what is essentially gifted child burnout. Also aforementioned magic (light in her case) is super high for her but kiiinda uncontrolled, which led to her pretty much exclusively being pushed to learn streamline it, but there’s never really been much progress. This part of the lore still seems ok right now. The problem is the actual backstory that led to "now“. Because as of right now, Violet is hanging out with the others, and therefore very much not where she should be, at all. And that’s where the mess is.

The original reason for her being with the rest of the gang rn was that she was once abducted 2 years ago so she could be sacrificed to bring forth the apocalypse, and met Red during her escape. (Spoiler: there isn’t some ancient god dragon sealed in her blood or whatever probably. Just got unusually high light magic reservoir, which, combined with her always being in the background, let to people believing there’s something going on with her that warrants that secrecy.) Recently, after another attack, decided that her being missing would be better, and broke out to search for Red and hide with her. So despite being. Royalty. She‘s deliberately not going back home as she‘s "more useful" if missing, so everyone is so focused on her that it keeps any trouble away from her family since everyone will be focused on getting to her instead. (It’s totally not also because she feels incredibly trapped and knows her being gone wouldn’t actually chance much for them. Absolutely not. It’s only out of usefulness.)

That one‘s got a variation where she was abducted twice- first time saved by Red, which is when they met, second time was what happened above with her breaking out herself, and directly lead into the whole "staying missing is better“ thing. In another alternative version, that og thing didn’t happen 2 years ago, but recently, so instead of "2y ago + recent event leads to her booking it“ that 2y ago becomes said recent event.

And I‘m also thinking of just throwing everything away and rebuilding it from the ground up, but the only thing I can really come up with rn is the "royalty that definitely shouldn’t be wandering around but their knight/guard/whatever (Red) is there so it’s cool“ trope. Also if I change the lore in that regard I‘d kinda have to redesign her again (or at least clean it up a bit?)

In any case, the only story beats I‘ve kinda got down are "was abducted, kicked ass, met Red during or on the road shortly after escape, [stuff], not going back to the castle because of [reasons], road-trip ensues“.

Also I might do urban fantasy and zombie apocalypse AU‘s. Idk.

As I Said, it’s REALLY long and REALLY bad. You can laugh, point out plotholes and cliches, whatever

And laugh some more. It’s cool, I understand, really XD

(Someone please help set this lore right/make some better ideas)

(Tough, thank you for reading it you actually made it through this? Holy shit?? That’s so much!?? Yea)

[knowlessman]

bungo no hogs macedonia (jk it's FINALLY bnha bc I googled "when does sasuke show up again" and it turns out he kinda doesn't, it's kinda like if the soul eater anime actually tried to make you care about the 100 witch souls thing but also was eleventy billion hundred years long and every arc went out of its way to remind you about it without actually progressing it) ep1-4 -- (literally looking at a splash screen bc I haven't hit go yet) I'm sure we learn why this boy has grenades for hands at some point

how unamerican or something

oh yeah this is basically if saitama wasn't OP and was Rock Lee instead right

I love that one of the bystanders here either has a quirk or just wandered in from Jojo part 6

they changed the rules so you could get into Sky High without powers? so the Cyclist from One-Punch could get in. (…googles character, skims wiki page …Mumen Rider is good character it turns out. Wish Netflix had more of - …wait a minute… okay, ngl if this loses my attention at some point there is a nonzero chance I drift over to one-punch man)

huh. didn't think we'd know that about All Might so early

…jeezus.

weirdest damn santa clause I ever seen. he doesn't even have a beard

…the fuck is any of this

"walk home, deku. I work alone." okay I do actually wanna know what he says tho, goddammit

anime stop spoiling the next episode after the credits challenge 2023 goddammit I don't wanna know this shit yet have you never heard of a binge watch

anyway next one -- with the mha spoilers that I do know… this should be one helluva convo for all might

wait whaaat, I thought this only came out later in the show :O not sure why I thought that, but this being in, like, literally the second episode is a surprise

…I guess "invisibility cloak" is just a really weird translation for something that should probably be "host" or "disguise," then?

'XD that half-assed analogy. "guys at the pool" -- hm. okay well that's HALF the spoiler that I think I know from this show -- also, well, he did make an effort to let him down easy while being honest, and it technically wasn't a "no." (also obv don't tell him to be a cop, that's for antagonists not protagonists)

some "invisibility cloak"

deku you owe that asshole a punch in the face, not this -- what ARRRR ya doin, tho (sorry my brain auto-associated to Pirates… 3, I think?)

yup. "toughness" and a balsa-wood ego

'XDDD dude. literally anyone could have seen you, shouting at the top of your lungs in a sleepy-ass neighborhood. also are you really not able to turn that off at-will? you have to wait until your body remembers it has organ damage and turns it off for you? -- I think I love this design of all might tbh. he looks like a fucking bionicle. and the hair and the outfit, it's all just perfect. and it gives context to why his face always has shadows all over it, in some way I dunno how to explain

next, I guess, fuck it, it's only half past two in the morning -- …and that's the other half of the spoiler I knew (is dabi also a spoiler? idk, probably), in the third episode

(watching OP) huh. for some reason I thought hand-face-man was from tokyo ghoul

american… good name for it, maybe? bootstrap bullshit that can only fly in shonen

think you're a rooster? you're training to be all might, kid, not goku

I thought Napoleon was, like, a bad guy? googles briefly huh. lot of things, that guy.

buhhh. fourth then. fuck but this show is good at cliffhangers.

Best Jeanist 'XD tf does that even mean

aye, I think I can see the thread from here, the intent of this "obstacle"

…good shit. I was starting to worry she, y'know, wasn't gonna get to do shit.

I wanna like mr stereotypical glasses guy, the pedant. do I get to like him? is he okay?

and here come the ten billion points for griffinpuff, aye?

oh fuck my life I forgot this was about high school 'XD I'mma go to bed

[imagine--if]

Omg I am so happy someone is writing for Barry’s joker!! And you do it so well! 😍😍 maybe I could request a one shot where the reader is also in Arkham, but they specifically keep the reader and J separated so they never get to see each other. Maybe when Batman goes to talk to J, he mentions that he stopped by to see reader first. I could just imagine J being so jealous/ angry that he got to see her xD

A/N: Thank youuuu I'm LiViNg for Keoghan!Joker rn, so keep sending in requests! Or I'm open for random asks, ops and chat 😎 whatever you like hehe (I've got over thirty requests sent to me that I'm working on lmao, but I will get round to everybody, promise 💕)

Pairing: Keoghan!Joker x reader (The Batman 2022)

Warnings: Suggestiveness, the Joker being the Joker 🃏😜

Words: 582

The Batman's face is set, jaw locked as his dark eyes met the Joker's gaze on the other side of the strong glass that separated them.

"I want your perspective," Batman starts, a file in his hand. "On a serial killer."

The Joker hums, glancing at the files being slid over to him in mild disinterest.

"Thoughtful," he says with a smile. "A present?"

"I thought you'd be curious," the Batman responds, before saying your name. "I've shown her already. She found it creative."

A dangerous glint slices through the Joker's stare, and he grits his teeth as he grins, shaking his head.

"Mm. Well, that's not fair, is it? See, I never get the luxury of seeing my girlfriend. The guards, they don't wanna... they're avoiding mayhem. They know that if one's with the other, something might just... blow. You know?"

The Batman doesn't respond, but he knows very well what Joker's referring to. He knows that you two were separated for a reason. The Joker causes chaos wherever he goes, but when he met you, it was only another reason to go crazier. He's in love in a whole different way than your average couples are, madly protective and obsessive. He's killed for you time and time again, and he'll keep doing it, no matter where you are. Anything, doll.

So when you two were finally caught, and while J waits for the near, perfect timing to break out of the asylum, they make sure you're apart. Thinking it's a good solution to keep order and control in the madhouse, but really, all it's doing is driving the Joker increasingly frustrated that he can't see your pretty face every day, watch you shoot up buildings for the fun of it with him, chat with you and make jokes late at night, make out against bloodied walls.

Soon, he'd be able to grant his wish, but for now, the fact that Batman had seen you before he did was... a bad joke.

"It's going to happen sometime, though, isn't it?" Joker continues, cackling thoughtfully. "Queenie can't be kept in a cage for much longer, can she? Pretty girl..."

The Joker pauses suddenly, leaning in closer as he stares Batman in the eye. "What'd you talk about, hm?"

"This new case," Batman tells him, hesitating momentarily before adding, "I think she'd appreciate your perspective."

"No, no, she'd know my perspective," Joker says impatiently, his laughter more dangerous now. "Don't use my girl to try squeezing the thoughts out of me, you're better than that."

"I'm not using anyone against you," Batman replies. "This isn't about me."

"Here's an idea," Joker perks up, resting his head on a dry bloody hand. "She can tell me she'd appreciate my perspective herself, can't she? You give me five minutes with her, and I give you five minutes of killer to killer knowledge, huh? Fair?"

The Batman considers it, glaring at the Joker in annoyance. It's not a good idea, not at all, but he needs all the leads he can get at this point. You couldn't do much when you were confined in Arkham Asylum anyway, could you?

That's going to have to be a problem for after this case.

"Fine," Batman answers reluctantly. "Five minutes."

The Joker laughs, his grin widening. "Now that wasn't so hard, was it? So you... go get her for me, hm? You bring me my beauty, and I'll take a look at this new game you got going on."

Law's Birthday Week ~ Law x GN! Reader ~ Knit One For Me.

So! this was requested by one of my lovely moots on discord for Law's bdw. The request was:

Reader gets transported to OP world, while wearing a jacket made like the one I made (can be sown, too, just you know, the design idea of the jolly roger on the back and his hand(tattoo)s on the chest. How does our boo react?

I hope you all enjoy this little scenario! After all, who wouldn't like to be sucked into OP world, right? (Preferably not during Marineford or Onigashima raid but you get the idea). Thank u boo for requesting, love u! ♥

TW: None. No gender nor usage of any pronouns. Completely SFW. (I hope anons don't get offended by someone wearing a coat with Law's tattoos on it XD)

WC: 636

- #LawBirthdayWeek2021

A huge storm hunts the night sky on a Saturday.. lighting going crazy. The power went off a few minutes ago, but luckily your laptop still has some battery left.

A sudden lighting strikes near your house, making your place ablaze by a purple light. You get hella scared, but you don’t feel bad.

There is something weird, you can feel something different in your room. And you have the idea, the need of touching the screen of your laptop while Law’s face is on the screen … and there you go… first, your hand was in… then, your forearm. And after a blink your whole body, you, everything of you was transported into your favorite anime world. The One Piece world. Specifically, the Polar Tang submarine.

A huge polar bear stands in front of you, two guys wearing funny hats and him. Law, Trafalgar Law. He is literally in front of you. Your hands travel all around your body, “what the fuck? I am 2D?” you ask. The guys look at you without being able to speak.

“Where does this person come from?”.

Law quickly unsheathes his Kikoku and prepares his hand to cast his well-known spell <room>. “No! Don’t I’m… I’m (Name) I’m not harmful at all” you say. Grey intense eyes, beautiful orbs, yet as cold as ice scan you. You tremble, with excitement but also a little scared. I mean, you have the surgeon of death right in front of you.

“Who are you, and why the fuck are you wearing MY tattoos on your jacket?” Law asks, confused and surprised. And you suddenly remember the piece of clothing you literally created a few days ago. You widen your eyes, “how the fuck am I going to explain this without being cut in slices?”.

“Uhm… I knitted it… I’m your... fan, Law” you mumble. “My fan?” he asks, frowning. He acts like the bad guy here, but he is as scared as his nakamas. “Aya, Aya! Where did you come from?” Bepo, the cute mink asks. And you can’t help but smile. Fucking Bepo is talking to you!! Bepo!!.

“Bepo, shut up” Penguin chimes.

“Sorry…”.

Law walks around you, scanning you from head to toe. He stops at your back. “Right, the Jolly Roger” you think. “Are you some kind of Bartolomeo to us, or what?” Law, coldly asks. Shachi bursts into laughter. And you, too. “Kind of, Law” you whisper giggling. “Are you able to teletransport? Are you a user of which devil fruit?” he asks. You really don’t know how to explain this to him… Should I mention the fact that I come from another dimension?.

“I’m sorry, I don't really know how I got here…But I can assure I’m not harmful. I love you guys, for real” you mumble, lifting your hands in the air showing them you are not a bad person. Law, who might be mistaken by a heartless guy, walks in front of you and tells you “What are your skills? Do you think you could help us in the submarine?”.

“CAPTAIN?!” everybody else shouts, really confused.

Law smirks at you, coming closer to your face. “This is such a pretty jacket… I really hope you can knit one for me too. I wouldn’t mind having a new nakama, especially if it looks as gorgeous as you” he whispers. Your mouth opens, dumbfounded. Did Law, Trafalgar Law just tell me I’m gorgeous and…. and…” you slowly lose your consciousness, and your mind shuts off.

You don’t want to open your eyes, you are sure this all has been a perfect dream, so comfy on your bed. “I don’t want to wake up. I don’t… I don’t want to…” you repeat, kicking the sheets.

“(Name)-ya? You are finally awake! What is it that you don’t want?”

WAIT…

[thesevenwondersofawitch]

I'm watching the movie Star Trek: First Contact

And oh boy, this is already off to an interesting start!

Geordi got new eyes? Cool!

I had to do a double take 'cause Beverly has lighter hair now

Looks good tho

Oh Captain, you're not wanted on the front lines. That's gotta hurt your feelings.

Ope he went to the front lines anyway

*Picard to himself during this scene* Pew Pew mothercluckers

Also, is Worf a Captain now?

I feel like I'm missing something

(I am only on episode 3 of ds9)

Oh Worf don't look too happy back on board the Enterprise

I love Riker 😂

Me: *humming* Back in time, gotta go back in time, gotta stop the Borg, and we won't get bored!

It's kinda concerning how Picard was so calm about following the Borg into the past

Then again, what do I know? It's really all just a bunch of-

(whoops, wrong fandom 😂)

Dog! I see a dog! IT'S BEHIND THAT DUDE!

That drunk guy is a vibe

The Phoenix? Why does that sound so familiar?🤔

Oh no! Explosions! I hope the dog is okay🥺

I'm sure it is. No one dare tell me if it wasn't because I'm going with it being good.

April 4th? That's my brother's birthday!

Oh dear, I'm guessing the first contact is when aliens made contact with Earth?

Oh, it was.

MONTANA (Ne-braskaaaaaa, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New yo- okay, I'm done now.) XD

Beverly looks gorgeous in 21st century clothing 😍

Data, you sure you can handle this?

Oh, right. I guess it's the perfect job for you since your bulletproof 😂

Data, to the woman seconds after she's done shooting at him: "Greetings."

Oh no, she fainted! O_o

I'm just saying, if I was her and I woke up in Beverly's arms, I'd faint again.

I don't have high hopes that the woman will remain unaware of her whereabouts, given the track record of the sick bay staff has of preventing people from seeing stuff they shouldn't

"Would you three like to be alone?" I love Deanna Troi with my whole heart 😍😂

If I looked up and saw Deanna looking down at me, I'd faint from her beauty, too.

At this point I'm basically like one of those fainting goats

Dude, you think you hear someone else in the duck ahead of you, Do! Not! Investigate!! I mean, come on! Have you never seen a horror movie? Or listened to stories from other Starfleet officers who encountered things cause they investigated?

Imagine being Lieutenant Porter who's climbing in the ducks and you turn a corner to see this in front of you

'Red Alert' whispers Q flirtatiously.

I'm getting off track, Q derailed my original train and so I had to get on a new one. Back to the movie!

Oh no, no, no, no, it's definitely the Borg

Lady you climb right back down that ladder unless you wanna join Porter in being a Borg

See? That's what happens when you ignore my warning.🙄

Uh oh, Picard's hearing voices. That's not a good sign. Even in the wizarding world.

*Beverly jumps as something bangs from the other side of the door*

Hell to the no, I'm good

The Borg are aboard the ship! Who woulda thunk it?

Annnd Beverly woke up the woman. Called it!

Oh my god, here I was thinking Beverly was about to shoot the woman or something and that's what's she swore she would never use, but it's just an EMH program!😂

Wait, I think that's the doctor from Voyager!

He offered a cream to the Borg😂

Okay, they really should have had the woman be between Beverly and the others, because if that had happened, then the lady wouldn't have been at the back and been able to veer off course! *Sighs*

Worf does not look happy. Like, at all.

I HEAR THE DOG AGAIN, YEAH BABY!

Wait, is Deanna drunk? 😂

Will, it's good you have decent reflexs, otherwise you would've gotten a bottle to the head for unplug the juke box 😂

Will is enjoying this sm, as am I 😂

"This is no time to argue about time. We don't have the time." *A few seconds later* "What was I saying?" The wise words of Deanna Troi.

She's definitely drunk😂

She's reallllly drunk!

Oh, that had to hurt her head

That is now my new favorite scene 😂

"Captain, I believe I am feeling anxiety." Me too, Data. Me too

Yeah, Worf, find the lady from the 21st century!

Looks like they've found the hive! I wanna give them a high five!

Ah, yes. The sure fire way to mess with the hive, rip out the wires from the wall!

NO! DATA! MY DUDE! NO

"Captain, please! Help." *Picard shoots him* rip dude, but I guess it was mercy

I don't know if I like this lady from the 21st century, she's kinda bugging me with how rude she is to Picard

Data with his head on that glowy thing is giving me sun baby from Teletubbies vibes

Oh, shit that's a creepy room to be in.

Oof, that's quite a scene showing the drill in Data's head.

That drunk doctor dude looks like he's wearing a crown

Deanna is looking considerably more sober now

The energy that Will, Geordi and Deanna have as they try to convince drunk guy Doctor Z to do his space trip is contagious, and I'm grinning just watching it😂

Ah, back to Data! And I can't watch cause of the strobe lights 🙄 it's fine.

As soon as Picard opened the thingy to show the lady Earth I got a bit of vertigo eek

"Maximum setting. If you'd have fired this, you would've vaporized me."

"It's my first ray gun." Whata mood.

When he touched the force field, I jumped with Lily😂

"Are you ready?" The Borg queen sounds like she's about to start singing the song Man, I Feel Like A Woman

Hold up, is that-? It is! IT'S THE VAMPIRE MOM FROM THE LITTLE VAMPIRE!

No bitch, you did not just reactivate Data's emotional chip just to hurt him? If you did, I'm gonna knock that head of yours off

Oh, um, nevermind, it's seems to be going a very different direction than I thought it would.

I'm getting vibes from them🫣

"Borg. Sounds swedish." Lily, you're starting to grow on me😂

"Definitely not swedish." I mean, some of the Borg may be swedish

Oh shit, the Borg are in a restaurant?! Shit!

Oh, it's the holodeck

Okay, that's very clever!

Damn, rip Ensign Lynch

Hold up, is that Reg who just tried to talk to Dr. Z? (55:50 mark)

IT IS!

Are none of people getting that Dr. Z is not exactly thrilled that everyone is saying how much of a hero he is? It's kinda daunting to hear that about yourself, when you haven't even done the thing that makes you famous yet

Lily saying "watch your caboose, Dix" sounds so funny 😂

Yeah, Data! Break free!

Oh no, he got cut!🥺

Aw, he hasn't been with anyone since Tasha died🥺

Oh God, The Borg Queen is seducing him

No Data, don't do it

*sighs* he kissed her back🙄

They would make quite a couple, I suppose.

If you know, you were ok with them wiping out humanity and stuff

Me: *pauses movie for a hot chocolate break*

Okay *resumes movie*

I love how Riker just zaps Dr Z to get him t ostop running 😂

Riker to Geordi "You told him about the statue." 😂

For a second I thought the Borg that floated away (Hawk had shot it) was one of the spacesuit Starfleet people and I panicked

Oh shit, Worf's suit got cut!

Some say Hawk is still floating through space

Picard is flying! Fun

That scene of the steam is exactly what it looks like when I put my face above my humidifier 😂

Oh, Hawk's back

And he's gone again

Rip dude

"Assimilate this." *Blows up disk* Good job Worf!

I love how Riker is joining Dr. Z on the mission 😂

And how happy he is describing what can be seen of the moon from earth in his time😂

And how he quotes Dr. Z to Dr. Z😂

Picard doesn't want to lose the ship to the Borg

Is it because he lost a part of himself to the Borg? 🤔

Lily is not gonna stand for his bullshit

Oof, he's telling her about being assimilated

Idk about you Picard, but Revenge definitely happens in your century 😂

*smashes glass case with mini ships in it* feel better?

I... Guess not.

Does anyone have a Snickers?

I love how Lily never actually read Moby Dick, I can relate 😂

They're evacuating!!

Worf is the bravest man Picard's ever known 🤔 huh

Oh shit, it's Data o_O

Dr. Z forgot something?

Troi's voice is so relaxing 😌

Oh gosh 😂

Poor Troi, she was not expecting rock music to blare in the headset 😂

This guy is giving me Tony Stark vibes and I love it😂

Him telling Will and Geordi to if ignore the red light sounds my like my dad when a light goes on the dashboard of the car😂

The Borg Queen was just looking for the perfect partner, to go on assimilating beings and exploring the galaxy

Uh oh, Picard your plan failed!

Riker and Geordi are gonna have quite the story to pass on after this😂

YES! GO DATA!

RIP Borg Queen and Borg

I hope Data is okay in that fog

Picard ripped that spine right in half 😌

Data's okay! Yeah!

And first contact has been made!

Why does the alien look like a fancy Jedi?😂

Lily and Dr. Z held hands!

VULCANS!!

The Vulcans are drinking and listening to rock music with the humans, sounds like quite an interesting night 😂

It was a good movie! And on a 0/10 scale, I give it a 9

✨Live long and prosper!✨

[astersofthesky]

I decided to reread the MHA LN Chapter 4, you know, the canon bkdk angsty slow-burn fanfic 😌😌 Spreading the BKDK LN agenda because WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS MORE !!

Anyway, I FOUND ANOTHER TRANSLATION but sadly OP haven't finished it yet 😢

And since I need an emotional outlet so I can scream at how they're so canon, Im'ma do it here ahwjdhfjsh 👀✨

Warning: Long post; potential manga spoilers

– I forgot that this chapter literally started with the angst 😭 Deku saying that he can't imagine having lunch with Kacchan is like a pain in the gut. He just wanna be friends with his Kacchan again 😢

– One word, ✨SOULMATES ✨ afshshahah PLS, even the universe can't help but ship them together 😩✋ they're fruityness is on whole a new level I CAN'T 💚🧡

– I see what you're doing Bakugou 👀 You really can't leave your sweet broccoli behind huh?? Also, crybaby Macchan and aggressive Takkun?? 🤔 Do I need to say more? 🧐

– If that's not flirting then idk what is 🤷 also, "In front of my soba? Really?" (Todoroki, probably)

– There's no ss but I just wanna give a special mention to jealous!Bakugou. No cos srsly, implying you're not friends with Deku as if you're not dying to hold his hand then getting irritated over Todoroki claiming the "friend" card 😩 Just, Bakugou, don't @ me ☺️💢

– The angst had reached full force it seems ಥ‿ಥ The line was cut but it actually says "Not friends, just childhood friends" 😭😭 and I am telling you Im'ma throw my brand new book when Bakugou explicitly acknowledges Midoriya as his boyfriend. Because before they were rivals, Bakugou and Midoriya were first friends. And I'm not saying that they aren't one now because we as readers, can definitely see they care for each other. But the question is, do they already see the other as a friend and not just a mere rival? They don't cos they're boyfriends your honor

– Tbh, It still haven't sinked in that this is kind of canon 🤧 This is such a cliched romantic scene like wtf?? So what's next? The full moon is illuminating half of Bakugou's face, red eyes glowing and face soft from the natural white luminescence or something sappy like that?? 😩😩 I love it

– Izuku in this LN chapter whenever he talks about Bkg: ✨ THEIR RELATIONSHIP ✨

– I know, I get it. You don't have to shove it my face every single time Deku 😌 and pls, why are you still flirting at the middle of the night?? Or was it pining that I see 🤔 i mean comparing each other to their kid parallels 😕 hmm a severe case of mutual pining indeed

– Yes yes, of course you're only looking for food stalls Mr. Bakugou "Tsundere" Katsuki, I completely don't believe that you're worried about the kids. No! of course not! Who says you want the kids to reconcile so they wouldn't experience the pain that you and a certain green had gone through?? Hahaha I mean It's not like they're your parallel what??hmmm no no, go on, look for takoyaki or smthn ☺️☺️

– Wait, did the last part say '"Bakugou grabbed Izuku's face and pushed it away..." Aksfksjdhdisjs what in the actual gay fanfic is this??!! Or wait, is this what Bkg usually do to Deku in the official art he's like, I love agressively gripping your head as I entangle my fingers on your soft curls but no homo💀

Since OP's translation isn't complete, I'm going to use Lau Ren's translation and yes I'm continuing this shit even though Tumblr mobile only lets me post 10 pics per post

– Bkdk domesticity with children pt. 95736 💚🧡 They love kids so much 😩 Yk I'd donate my kidney just to see this ANIMATED ✨ like this has so much fluff potential 🤧 Or at the very least a drama CD. I'd ascend 😭

– WHAT THE FUDGE ?!! I'M SCREAMING 😭 I SAY IT AGAIN 💞 SOULMATES✨ and pls, it has my favorite fic trope, Bakugou Katsuki is Bad at Feelings. Anyway, I need a minute to collect myself cos I can't move past the "With the said person himself nearby, Kacchan thought his fate had gone crazy" ( ≧Д≦) dammit Katsuki, why r u so gay. Izuku loves you, you emotionally constipated gremlin

I have reached my 10 picture limit so I'm just gonna copy paste some of the twts 💀 I hope I don't get in trouble lmao Xd

- Kacchan fixed his gaze to Deku who looked relieved. "He..."

- Somehow, Kacchan remembered the fight they had after All Might's retirement. It was the first time they were able to let out their conflicts sincerely. Although his fear towards Deku had decreased since then, there was still a feeling of disgust about Deku being a hero who save others residing in Kacchan.

- He couldn't understand it. But he knew, there will always a being whom he cannot understand

– Bkg rlly said 👀 on Deku while having angsty thoughts ಥ╭╮ಥ Looking back on this tho, I just can't help but be proud when I remember 285. Bakugou is loud but he is very rational in battles. He thinks of a plan on the spot meaning he's mind is on work 24/7.

– When he had his "My body just moved on its own" moment, Katsuki had understood Deku and his nature to "Save to Win." It'ss that Katsuki must not analyze it with his brain, but instead feel it with his heart 💚🧡 And this is the reason why I badly want to see him on the manga 😭 that was some MAJOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I'm ahwjdhfjsh

– Takkun and Maachan's pinky swear deserves their own mention. They're so pure 😩✋

- He said he still hasn't done hatsumoude so Kacchan can go first, but Kacchan refused and wouldn't let Deku do hatsumoude before him.

- Kacchan tried to take a head start, but in the end, they ended up visiting and praying together.

– AND WE'RE BACK with the gays 😌 hsjdjajs they compete with every single thing it's honestly cute. Also YES THEY PRAYED TOGETHER and shoujo scenes with the main couple praying on the shrine but make it BKDK flashed before my eyes 😖✨

- After finishing their prayers, Deku looked at Kacchan, "What did you wish for?" "Shut up."

- Even with Kacchan's sulking expression seen from the side, Deku felt that they had wished for the same thing.

– DEKU YOU'RE BEING TOO LOUD!! I just can't with these two 😩✋ Both of them are down so bad for each other and you can't tell me otherwise 💚✨🧡

- With those serious eyes, Deku knew they were aiming for the same thing. Win to save, save to win. To be the best heroes.

- Deku knew well that he and Kacchan are polar opposites. But even so, Deku couldn't imagine a world in which Kacchan doesn't exist.

– Deku just went 😍 on Kacchan and thought "I CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT YOU 🧡💚" (insert Imagine by Ben Platt)

– I can't even stress how much I love this line, y'all this is so misleading I-- this is too much 😭 Anyway, I believe this go both ways. Bakugou can't also see a world without Deku in it, and since Deku decided to be the self-sacrificing person he is, I'll just SCREAM IN CH. 304 ( ≧Д≦)

- Seeing the two praying side by side, he commented, "so you've become good friends now, huh."

- Both of them immediately opposed, and Kacchan threatened to explode Shoto's mouth for saying such a disgusting thing.

– Let's go Todoroki, best wingman 🤣 And flustered Bakugou makes a reappearance hdjsja Dammit half n' half I ain't flirting with Deku fvck you

RWBY's Love Language - Part 2

Hello friend ! I'm back at it with a second part and whatever character I can think of ! (Among which best boy Oscar because he deserves it, and also more adults)

Let's go !

***

Oscar Pine

So ! While I love Oscar with my whole heart, honestly guessing his Love Language is no easy feat. One thing for sure : touch isn't is thing even if it's how everyone else chose to communicate their love.

I saw a post a while back detailing how Oscar is always putting his hands up as a barrier when he's scared or uncomfortable and that makes me cry a little instead but it's true TT. Anyway...

In the latest volumes we've got quite a bit of comforting Oscar-talks but I have to wonder how much of that is due to Ozpin's influence really. As a result I've decided to settle on... Acts of Service or Quality Time ! This is based on a few details : when people are upset with him in one shape or form, Oscar was always very eager to prove himself useful, give some aspect of concrete help (such as cooking a Casserole, ringing any bell ?). Plus I imagine that's the exact brand of help his Aunt would have needed most on a farm. Added to that, he always seems fairly happy to be included, be with the others no matter what's going on. Training ? Yay ! A movie with Jaune & Weiss ? Smiling puppy look. Fancy party ? Shenanigans together ! So yea, I love seeing my boy loved and hugged but please everyone settle for the loving he's most comfortable with <3

“She made a choice! A choice to put others before herself! So do I.”

“Oh, uh, yeah. I thought you guys would appreciate a hot meal after... spending all day looking for me, apparently.”

“No, it's okay. These past few days, I've been scared of the same things you were. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be... me. But I did some thinking, and I do know that I want to do everything I can to help with whatever time I have left.”

- - - - - - - - - -

Ozpin

For our favorite immortal wizard aka not quite dead Headmaster... I think the answer is rather obvious. When you're so careful with your words, but also so fiercely devoted to humanity, Words of Affirmation is a must. Ozpin constantly does his best to calm, to reassure. He's good at controlling the conversation and getting people where he wants... Except he more often than not use it to make them think and help them reach an healing ore motivating conclusion. This man is so insisten on giving and cultivating hope, so painfully aware of just how much words can change... There's no doubt in my mind that it's through these very same words that he tries to fight the darkness in others' mind, even when they don't want to let themselves be persuaded. And with some help from the farmboi, Ozpin is gaining in honesty and earnestness. And that can only help in giving comfort.

But to be honest... If you offer him a hug I doubt he'd refuse, and he definitely deserves one. Also therapy. For Oscar too. Everyone in therapy 2k21.

“Ruby. I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them. Do you?”

“It's not every day that friends are able to come together like this. Time has a way of testing our bonds, but it's nights like these that can help keep them stronger than ever. Nights like these are ones we'll never forget.”

“Don't worry, Mr. Arc. Your journey is far from over, and the same might be said for all of you. Unlocking your Semblance isn't the end. It can still grow and evolve. Providing you are willing to put in the work, who knows what could happen?”

- - - - - - - - - -

Emerald Sustrai

Now here I'm gonna go ahead and say that the way Emerald has been taught to express her love and the way SHE would rather preffered to be loved most likely do not align. At the side of someone like Cinder, and even Mercury who isn't exactly the most emotionally vulnerable person; the only brand of love that gets an easy pass is Acts of Service, and that's probably what Emerald is the most used to. I can go on a mission with you. I can help. We go right back to the "I can be useful" mentality and I'm not sure she's been shown any other way honestly. Let's be real though : if someone offered a hug or some gentle words ? She'd probably pout & fuss but I hardly doubt she'd object.

“I don't care about Salem! But I owe Cinder everything. You want to fight her that bad? Be my guest.”

“I just... Cinder was the only family I ever had. She cared about me, taught me things... But without her here, I don't know if what we're doing--”

“I've been working on my Semblance. I can help. I won't tell anybody.”

- - - - - - - - - -

Pyrrha Nikos

What's with everyone and dedicating their whole love toward just helping their teammates anyway they can ?! Stop ! But any way, you guessed it. I'm pretty sure one of Pyrrha's top way of showing love is Acts of Service, and nothing means quite as much to her as Quality Time. For someone who's been put on a pedestal and has a hard time relating to people; both touch and words can be a bit awkward. But if they're wrapped up neatly in a training session or semblance explanations ? Well that's already a more familiar area. Pyrrha gives her whole to her friends and those she cares about. And in exchange, if anyone can simply... be there and spend time with her... May it be at the ball or simply sitting in the courtyard... I'm sure our girl would be delighted.

“Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.”

“I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise; but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. But thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime.”

“I'll do it. If you believe this will help humanity, then I will become your Fall Maiden.”

- - - - - - - - - -

Qrow Branwen

If I say Gift Giving for the corvid, is someone gonna hit me ? Come on it's fun ! Okay, more seriously... I think this kind of love conversation is kind of a necessity for Qrow. With a semblance such as Bad Luck, making everything complicated... Qrow tries to keep his distance from those he cares about. And since he's an emotionally repressed (but caring) asshole on top of it... Well that kinda narrows down his option. You know what DOESN'T put anyone at risk but can still bring smiles on their face ? GIFTS. Shiny things, souvenirs from his missions all over the world to give to 2 smol nieces. Sounds safe right ? That said, as any good emotionally unavailable character in this show, I gotta say Qrow probably has a thing for helping out and making himself useful in relation to Oz, Tai or the rest of the inner circle. So you know what that means *whisper* Acts of Service.

That said ! When it comes to receiving some love back... Qrow probably likes everything he doesn't allow himself to have. Soft touches, loving & comforting words, spending time with a friend without his semblance making everything complicated... We know that's all he wants.

“You idiot. I know you didn't do this.”

“Look, pal, I'm not sure who you are, but you need to leave my niece alone.”

“No one wanted me... I was cursed... I gave my life to you because you gave me a place in this world... I thought I was finally doing some good...”

- - - - - - - - - -

Clover Ebi

And among our newbies (and gone too soon) friends we have Clover ! Clover was a very good contrast to our dusty old crow but also a great help. Kind-hearted, perceptive and honest; he knew just how to put Qrow's self-loathing in his place and push him to give himself some credit. He always had a nice word or a joke for everyone, and visibly the rock of the Ace Ops : an expert a keeping the moral up and the mood companiable. Evidently, Words of Affirmation was his expertise. Had things gone differently, I'm sure we'd have had time for many more earnest and helpful conversations with this teal-eyed fisherman.

“It's a good thing they had someone to look up to and get them through it. Not everyone is so lucky.”

“I meant deflect a compliment. Those kids wouldn't be where they are without you. You've had more of an effect on them than you realize.”

“We don't have to fight, friend.”

- - - - - - - - - -

Winter Schnee

And today in the "emotionally unavailable" category we have... Winter Schnee ! TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS PEOPLE ! Just - I would say look at Ruby but even she doesn't talk about her bad vibes... Nor does any of the "Words of Affirmation" peeps. Honestly what's wrong with y'all people ? Anyway Winter cares so much. Is it hidden behind professionalism and a stern *big sister* demeanour ? Sure. But it doesn't negate just how much she loves her closed ones. She's fiercely loyal, and even if she doesn't let her personal feelings get in the way of her duty and doing what needs to be done, no one is allowed to say she doesn't care. Countrary to Weiss, Winter doesn't seem as good nor as aware of the love that exists in simply *being* with people. Rather, she's dutiful and ready to help any way she can when given the chance. You guessed it, yet another Acts of Service kind of love... Maybe I'm doing this wrong XD. I'm on the fence about Words of Affirmation as well. Despite her standoffish looks, Winter has always been very open & reassuring during her discussions with Penny. But she's more stern when it comes to Weiss so I dunno x)

“I don't recall asking about your ranking, I'm asking how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making new friends?”

“You've grown up a bit, haven't you? You're not the little girl clinging to the family name anymore.”

“You can't just buy trust like everything else! You have to earn it!”

And that's it for Part 2 ! I might do some other characters if people suggest some but I don't have a pressing need to right now. I have many ideas of songs to apply to various characters however so that's prob what my next posts will consist of (or fun templates)

If anyone has tips to create RWBY gifs or links to download the eps in good quality I'll take it ! Good day everyone !

[frobin]

Hi! Ok, I know it isn't very related to Frobin (except if you decide to mention them in the answer), but I am curious about your opionion on this thing. If the end of One Piece have someone of the Straw Hat crew that can die, who can be? OBVIOUSLY I hope nobody, that this thing doesn't happen, but never say never. There're people who say Luffy to recreate Roger's connection. Someone else Usop (but I miss the reason). Or Jinbe, who has also some problems and enemies from previous experiences?

Hey there anon!

No worries about asking questions. This is a FRobin blog but it's also a One Piece blog so it's fine to ask all kind of questions about One Piece. Even though I wouldn't consider myself much of an *expert* so everything I write is very much influenced by my own impressions.

But you're asking for my opinion anyway so that disclaimer is not necessary in this case. XD

---

Okay, first of all: I'm no fan of death flags. I never see them and when I read about them I feel like people pull them out of nowhere.

So I don't think any of the Strawhats will die before or even while the big end fight. Also it's not like they will reach their goal and then just drop dead (don't forget the dream are very different too but more about that later). Like what kind of life would that be?

Also we can't forget that Oda still believes he is writing this story for 14 year old boys. So, even though death is and will be a theme I don't think he will kill off the main crew.

That would not be very clever story wise and is not how to tell a story about adventure and fulfilling dreams for young boys.

Right now it's very "fashionable" to let characters die for shock value. But the more it's done the more annoying it becomes and less of a shock and Oda won't stoop so low to use this kind of element. Why do I think that?

So far we had three deaths in OP and they all shocked us a lot. But they were also used as motivator for other characters. Whitebeards death was a motivator for a whole new Generation of pirates, as well as his crew to try to save Ace and his little brother. Ace's death was a launch of character development for Luffy, Sabo, Garp and even Sengoku and probably more. Pedros death was a motivator for Carrot and other Minks. (Even the fake death of Pell was a huge motivator for Vivi. Interestingly compared to other deaths his sacrifice did not stop the war, which would have been an adequate impact. So him coming back alive actually makes sense.)

But look how few and far between they are. Of course there was more death but the important ones are kept as those.

Why am I talking about that? Who would benefit from a Strawhats death?

Literally no one. They are all already motivated to go until the end for each other. It's more likely that a death would cause Luffy to just give up, him becoming catatonic again.

Who would Luffy fight for if he even loses one of his crew mates? Or maybe two?

If I were a Marine I would try to make Luffy think that his friends are dead and then catch him but that is beside the point.

But for One Piece, a Strawhat death it would not move the story further. There is no additional motivator needed and that would be the only reason to kill one of the crew.

Killing a Strawhat makes no sense in my opinion.

A death would only make sense after they reached their goal.

So it is possible that we see the Strawhats die but long after the story came to an end, them reaching Laugh Tale (if that is the end). And yes, I think all of them will die of natural causes and/or sickness. Most of them at an old age. I think Luffy, Zoro or Usopp being the firsts because of the trauma their bodies had endured would make most sense.

I hope that answered your question anon... and anyone who does not want to read even more about my nonsense can stop here.

But let me break down why I think that all Strawhats have plot armor against death flags, behind the read-more.

-> It is very important that I think the huge clash with the Blackbeard Pirates, which will be the end fight, will happen right before Laugh Tale. And Laugh Tale is the end-goal and the end of the main story. (I MIGHT BE WRONG!!!)<-

Everyones own story can only end after they reached their goal so let's look why I think that these dreams give the Strawhats Plot Armor.

Luffy: Become the king of the pirates. That means he has to reach Laugh Tale. I often hear that Luffy will die early because of the parallel to Roger. That does not mean he won't reach his 40s or 50s. Even after reaching Laugh Tale Roger lived a bit longer and even had time to "make a child" so, killing off Luffy in the end fight makes no sense. So maybe dying after the fight, on Laugh Tale? That could happen and would be the earliest death of any Strawhat imo.

Zoro: Become the strongest sword fighter. That means he still has to kill Mihawk. I don't think Mihawk will go and look for Zoro. So, Zoro has to survive and then return to Mihawk and have his duel. No sense in killing off Zoro. I am 100% sure that he will survive until then.

Nami: Drawing a world map. For that Nami has to travel the world many times more. After they reached Laugh Tale, Nami has only finished part of her dream. She has to visit all of the Blues, travel the Grand Line and the New world multiple times. Drawing a Map of the world will take a lifetime. Her dream will take the longest to be fulfilled.

Usopp: Become the great warrior of the sea. Now here we have a dream that is not really tangible. Usopp will be a great warrior as soon as he realises that he is one. In my opinion he already managed to become a great warrior. Time and time again he has shown how amazing he is but this is all about his own self image and so hard to grasp. This actually makes Usopp the most likely to have a death flag BUT we can't forget that he still has to return home and tell his stories to Kaya and the Usopp pirates. It's part of a promise that is only secondary but for me it's enough to think Usopp too is safe until he did that.

Sanji: To find the All Blue. Sanji thinks that the All Blue is something physical. We can't know that and if it is physical we can consider that it's maybe a part of the New World near the Red Line where all seas somehow come together. So again, until Sanji found that place he hasn't fulfilled his dream. And since I think that would be BEHIND Laugh Tale, again I think Sanji is safe. Alternatively the All Blue is just a metaphor for something completely different but I can't hink about what.

Chopper: To cure all illness. Here too, this is something that takes time. Chopper is still only at the beginning of his career of being a doctor. Finding a magical cure for every illness that exists is not something that just happens. Logically he would need to talk with many other medical experts and together they might be able to find it. When and how and if that happens is impossible to say but again that would be something that would fit best in the time after reaching Laugh Tale.

Robin: To find the truth of the void century. Right now we figure that she will find that at the end of their travel, on Laugh Tale. Maybe it will happen earlier in case the Strawhats storm the World Government. Either way she will learn the truth. But that will not be the end to her. After learning the truth it's up to Robin to bring it to the world, to write it down, to teach, to make people understand that they can't erase history and that they have to learn from it. Again, that is something that takes time and so, truly fulfilling her dream.

Franky: To travel the world in the ship of his dreams. Again that is a vague dream. But it would mean to at least return to Water Seven, so that Sunny has traveled the world once. But even then it's only been a small part of the world and traveling the world would mean to visit at least every of the seas. So far, Sunny had been in two to four, depending on how much you take the movies into account. But to fulfill Franky's dream he needs to survive a bit longer and so does Sunny.

Brook: To meet Laboon again. This is simple. But for that Brook has to reach the end of the New World and then get over the Red Line again. What he will do after that is hard to tell. But again, the Red Line is behind Laugh Tale and so I'm sure Brook too, has to survive... even though he is already dead YOHOHO!

Jinbe: Equality between merfolk and humans. Again this is something that is no easy feat and will probably take more than one generation. Also it is not only up to him and more to Shirahoshi and the World Government. This dream is about teamwork too, but who could be a better ambassador for the merfolk than him? Losing Jinbe would be a huge backfire for the cause. Jinbe too is safe in my opinion. If you have reached the end of the post, let me tell you again my headcanon about FRobin: After the main adventure Franky and Robin return to Water Seven where Franky helps to turn W7 into a boat and after that is done, they travel to the island where Ohara used to be and there they rebuild the island. More people return and it again becomes a hub for scholars and history.

[kitkatopinions]

Is it bad that i want ironwood to be alive in the show and travel with the ace ops and have a redemption? I know most of his fans are happy that he is dead so they cant ruin him anymore but still, his ending is so wrong to me like they redeemed cordo, emerald, FUCKING HAZEL, but not james? I was pulled back into rwby because of james and the atlas arc. v6 last episodes pissed me off so much i didnt even watched the finale to this day but then i saw scenes of james and winter and the ace ops in v7... and now i just want him to swim up from the ruins and be the amazing character he was before v8. His death is so fucking sad to me even with how much they ruined the character... he deserved a redemption arc the most (and better writers, sorry the ask got so long but james ironwood gives me so much feels)

You know, I am right there with you, anon. Here's the thing about James. We didn't see an on screen death and the writers kept his semblance completely unmentioned in volumes seven and eight, but made it public. Yes, Miles Luna said 'rest in pieces' (the total douche) when talking about him in a cameo, but tbh, Miles Luna is sloppy and unprofessional, he could straight up say whatever to try and make the next 'twist' in RWBY surprising.

In fact SPOILER ALERT. I don't remember who, but after Avengers Infinity War when Loki died, people in the project 'confirmed' that Loki was good and truly dead this time, and of course no one believed them and of course no one was surprised to see some version of Loki escape alive in End Game. They had a better ability to twist a not-quite lie out there, due to multiple universes and time travel or whatever (idk the details, I stopped paying attention after I watched and hated Thor Ragnarok.) But still, it stands that if you want to make a character death believable in today's day and age when 'character death' is taken back so regularly and sometimes multiple times per character, writers should A. show the death/show a body (which they didn't do for Ironwood or Watts,) and B. Not leave any character threads hanging.

With Ironwood, they didn't delve into enough emotional responses to things (like Oscar/Oz getting shot off a cliff, or Qrow ever confronting him,) which leaves his story feeling like it lacks a solution and like there's still a lot to be resolved there already. But confirming his semblance outside of the show proper, which seems to act as a form of at least partial mind control, is obviously one giant thread too. Of course, this is MKEK, so the likelihood that they were foolish enough to give Ironwood a semblance that forced his actions at least in part and then not address it, kill him off, and expect everyone to just be happy with that on top of the lack of emotional depth they bothered to give other characters in regards to his 'fall' is high. However, that doesn't make James feel dead, he still doesn't feel like a dead character to me, yet, even if I know a lot of the reasons for that feeling stem from bad writing.

But on top of his semblance being a very big thread that was left untouched, his semblance also would be a very easy out if the writers did want to bring him back or if they wanted to bring him back and redeem him. His semblance could help him survive Atlas and Mantle falling, and it could easily be explained as having pushed him into his acts of villainy. It would still feel like a big ol' retcon (especially with how hard they tried to convince everyone he's pure evil,) but for once, I would like a retcon that actually goes my way in this show. XD

On top of that, you're absolutely right that in the show where Hazel can get 'death equals redemptioned' and tell life lessons to Oscar, Ironwood could be able to be redeemed even without the semblance. In the show where Hazel can beat a child while victim blaming the already-a-victim-of-abuse guy in the kid's head for *checks notes* training young women to be able to fight the soulless monsters who will devour anyone (four to six year old child or not,) and then get redeemed within 24 hours of that... yeah, Ironwood could be able to be redeemed. Emerald can murder Penny, try to kill everyone else at Haven, try to murder Penny again in Atlas, and then join the friend group enough that everyone good naturedly ribs her, including Penny who giggles over Emerald saying 'switched sides' despite the fact that Emerald never once apologized for literally murdering her in cold blood. So yeah, I don't think it'd be off brand of the show to have the 'does bad for good reasons' guy get redeemed even if they did make him express regret that he hadn't tortured children. Clearly, the standard isn't 'if they apologize they're worthy of redemption,' and the standard isn't 'if they only always had good intentions they're worthy of redemption' or 'only kids who are villains can get redeemed,' or even 'so long as they haven't tortured or tried to kill children they're worthy of redemption.'

However, here's where things get a little tricky. Because the standard in RWBY seems to have much more to do with what was done personally against the main group that made them mad or sad, rather than actual moral standings, harm done to the world, intentions, etc. I've talked about that idea in another post, that the show (whether intentionally or otherwise) is treating going against Ruby and her team as worse than actual criminal acts. Emerald's actions are easily brushed aside without her ever admitting she was wrong or trying to apologize, but Ozpin's act of not explicitly trusting Team RWBY with dire secrets months after knowing them is so unquestioningly bad that he has to give an in-depth and very serious apology while explicitly saying he was in the wrong, which the mains then begrudgingly and seriously accept (even though they were laughing with Emerald mere seconds before.) Which isn't to say that I don't think Ozpin had anything to apologize for, just that the framing of Ozpin's dialogue and reception versus Emerald's is ridiculous. Therefore Ironwood being redeemed after wishing he could torture, shooting a child off a high place, and threatening to destroy a town... In the narrative of the show, that can be brushed aside fairly easily. But both the show and the FNDM at large have constructed a narrative where going against the mains is what's treated as hard to come back from and worthy of all the ire and disgust in the world - unless the character comes crawling back, bowing to Ruby's whims in every plan, and regretting ever doubting Ruby's amazing simple soul and the protagonist approved goals she's decided on.

If the price of Ironwood coming back and being redeemed is him kissing up to Ruby and joining the gang of people who just pat her on the back and assure her she doesn't ever need to change or listen to others... I might kindly ask MKEK to keep him dead. Ironwood belongs to his fans now as far as I'm concerned.

They can bring James back, and they even have an easy way to redeem him in their back pocket. But I don't trust them as far as I can throw them, and with the way they've been writing their show, I'd just as soon let James rest.

Y'all did not have to do that to me 😭😭❤️💔

Next week/episode is gonna kill me xD

Because AHHH 😭😭😭❤️

That's the last of my last thoughts! Now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

I looooved this episode!! I thought it was so great :DD. I did love the whole thing but my loving the episode automatically goes up if I get my boys xDD - which I did lol. But, like I said, I loved every part of it :DD. By the way from here on out it's been two weeks and the next episode is tonight, sooo it'll probably be pretty short xD. Anyway! I'm glad Shaun and Kalu managed to work something out :)). The drama doesn't have to extend in that department, lol xD. Also, this may be the episode (I'm not sure, it's been twe weeks, sue me) where Perez was just straight up not there? If it was, I'm sorry my boy xd. Anyway, I loved every storyline :).

By the way, since it's been two weeks, I a) don't have a lot of time/motivation for this, and b) don't remember everything, so forgive me if these are short lol. They probably will be xD.

Now it's time for the individual parts!

Perez! Yeah, I'm pretty sure from quick skipping through the episode that he wasn't around. I noticed during the episode this time though, I think! Unlike that one time with Powell xd. Anyway, I miss you 😭❤️❤️❤️. See you again soon my guy (hopefully) :)). I love him, and I'm sure he was great at his job lol.

Morgan! We didn't see much of her, but her scene with Kalu at the beginning was so cute :D. Him immediately knowing what she's doing was fun xD. But just them seeing each other :)). It was nice 🥰🥰. It'll be cool to see them interacting more in the future :). Anyway! I love her 🥰❤️. And I'm sure she was amazing at her job lol, just like I said for Perez xD.

Andrews! I think he was being a little harsh on Shaun this episode, but to be hair, he was right. You have to be very careful to avoid any favoritism in situations like that. So, even if it annoyed me a bit, he was doing the right thing :). I love him :)). Despite it, lol xD. And, he was great at his job :). Mostly stuff we didn't see, but like I said, he was making sure nothing went wrong, even if he may have overcompensated a bit.

Park and Lim! Putting them together because to the best of my memory they were mostly involved in supporting Asher and Jerome and that case - that storyline, basically. Anyway, the way the both supported Asher and Jerome but also were honest about them was really great :'DD. It was just plain old nice to see them open to listening and what not :))) 🥰. Anyway, Lim was great at her job, and Park was great at his job :)). I love him ❤️❤️. And, I love her <333.

Glassman! O.O. Anyway, we'll talk about that in a second lol. I'm glad Glassman helped Shaun once again, listened and gave his opinion and whatnot, but he still agreed to do it in the end :). And I'm glad everything ended up alright with the patient 🥰. But o.o I live in fear for the next episode xdd. He BETTER be okay >:((( xd.

Lea! I don't think we saw her much this episode but what we did see was great :)). Her and Shaun at the beginning were so cute 😭😭❤️. As it is most of the time recently, lol, but I don't mind :)). It was nice to see her supporting Shaun and being happy for him but reminding him of what the whole situation entails :)). Not that she normally wouldn't, I'm just saying it was nice lol. I love her 🥰. And I'm sure she was being great at her job :)).

Jordan! YESS! I'm glad she got to prove herself to Kalu. Well, not quite prove herself, but yk. Kalu tried to cut corners, and she warned him, but he did it anyway. And lo and behold, she was right lol. Now with the MRI or x ray or whatever it was specifically, there was another problem, but she was right in the reaction he would get. He has experience, and he did leave higher than he is now, but he was still only a second year - she's a third. I'm just really glad she got to show him her worth :)) 🥰. He kinda needed to be knocked down a leg, to be fair lol. I love her 🥰❤️. And she was amazing at her job :D.

Kalu! I'm putting Shaun and him separate just because mans deserves to have his own paragraph in his first episode back (with one of his own) xDD. Anyway, it was rough to see him and Shaun struggling, but it made sense :( ://. It's a tough situation, and it's hard to navigate. But I'm glad they did, in the end :'D. The solution they came up with seems pretty good :)). I'm also super glad that Kalu went to talk to Andrews at the end and told him to judge him and not Shaun - I think that was really important. He's right - he needs to stand on his own two feet in the good regard, so he shouldn't be bringing other people down with him either. Not more than anyone else. I love him :). He was great at his job, despite the bumps lol. I'm excited to see what happens next with him!

Shaun! Like I said, it was tough seeing him and Kalu struggling with their relationship, but I'm so glad they worked it out :D. It's good to set out the boundaries between friendship and professional relationship early, so I'm relieved it wasn't left for too long lol. It is super sweet seeing them be good friends though :DD. I love them your honor :'))). Anyway, I think the name boundary is a good one :D. It creates a small separation of identity between work and outside of work (I'm not gonna say home lol), so it's really useful that way. But that ending though o.o. I live in fear xdd. Shaun looks heartbroken next episode 😭. I am so scared, for him and Glassman. Him more like, his character this next episode, and Glassman his fate xd. Everything better work out 😭😭😭💔❤️. Anyway, xd. Shaun was amazing at his job this episode. I love him :DD.

Asher and Jerome! MY BABEYYYYYSSS 😭😭😭💔❤️❤️ :'DDD!!! I'm so glad we got to see them this episode :'). And not just individually, but together! And not just together, but with a whole plot!!! I mean, sure, they were arguing, but still xd. Anyway, I like how it was handled. It wasn't perfect, of course, in and out of universe, but it addressed both their feelings and explicitly stated they had a right to feel them. I do think they could've given Asher a little bit more time to process it, but at the same time, we don't know how many days exactly took place, so I don't think it was too crazy. Also, it sucks that Jerome has to deal with having HIV :'(((. Anyway, it was a really serious topic, but I think it was done well and I'm so glad they're okay :')). I mean, they're gonna have to deal with this still, with their feelings on it, but they have each other through it :'DD 🥰. Also that ending was just sooo cute 😭😭😭❤️. I love them so much :')). I'll say it separately though: Asher was great at his job this episode :). I love him 🥰. And I'm sure Jerome was amazing at his job as well, though we didn't see as much of it (we did see a bit). I love him :DD. Anyway lol! Back to that ending :'D. The making up, and then the little silly secrets revealing 😭❤️?? Wonderful trope <33. And then we not only got an "I love you" but a KISS AS WELL??!?!?!!? We were truly being fed tonight 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰. Anyway, yeah, I just loves that whole scene, it was amazing :')). Also, I just have to mention that at the beginning before she knew they were fighting, Jordan asked if Jerome asked Asher to move in 👀👀👀. They're at that stage :DDD?? Or close to it anyway?? We better find out when they do, even if it's just one scene/conversation 🥰🥰. Like with Jordan at the beginning of the episode like this time :D. Anyway, I'm so happy for them in that regard :')). I hope it's soon <33. Anyway, yeah. It was hard seeing them fight 😭😭💔❤️, but I'm glad they worked everything out :')).

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode. I thought it was great! The main storylines were really good, and everyone (besides Perez, I think - sorry my guy xd) had little appearances at least :). Or, they were supporting the others who had the main plots! And not just supporting the plots, but literally being there for the characters :)). It was nice :'D. Anyway! The cases were really good too :). I'm glad everything worked out on both sides though :D, phew! Everyone did great with those :)). I am definitely scared and concerned for next week ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ. We've been here before, Glassman BETTER be okay xd. Because I love him and also because, while I wouldn't hate it, like I said, we have done this storyline before xd. Twice, lol, but the recurrence only once lol. Anyway, I just really hope he's okay 😭❤️. But back to this episode a bit, I'm glad all of the storylines (besides the one started with Glassman) ended up okay :). The patients and the other plotlines all worked out :'D. Also, there were a ton of sweet moments :').

So yeah! I loved this episode, I thought it was amazing. I'm scared for next episode, though! This has been my review of. . .
