drabble that started it all

the smut that isn't done yet but will be uploaded at some point

Thank u everyone who asked for a part 2, it motivated me a lot i hope u like this as much as i do!

When you heard the door of your apartment open, your body stiffened. It hadn't been that long since Mikey left, only 5 pm and he said he'd be back by ten so it confused you. But you didn't get up from under your blanket, didn't run out and hug him in greeting. You stayed silent and still, wondering maybe it was your imagination and then morbidly thinking an intruder got in. You wouldn't want an intruder to come in but Mikey just wasn't someone you wanted to see in that moment.

An exasperated sigh left Mikey’s lips but he was stubborn if anything so your body went deeper into the mattress from his body weight. He peppered you with kisses like he always did and your body relaxed under the onslaught of affection. Your head cleared for the first time in the last hour and every second you were in his presence was enough to assure you of his love. But the image of the comments flashed in your head, so easily. People saying that he and the model looked good together, that they would make a pretty couple, that it made sense. And as much as you wanted to deny it, you knew that there was a reason people were saying it. Of course there was, you had eyes. And the question that was begging to get out of you sat on your tongue like a weight. 

And with some difficulty, you unstuck your tongue from the roof of your mouth and spoke with every fiber of your body protesting against it. 

“Why are you dating me?”

The silence that followed was deafening and felt like a burial for your emotions. You didn’t know what you wanted him to say, second guessing your worries and your thoughts. Eating your words would have been easier, shutting up would probably keep the remnants of your relationship together. Of course, your relationship didn’t feel like it was on its last leg but love was blind wasn’t it? People hid secrets easily enough. And the question in your head wasn’t necessarily if he loved you but couldn’t he love someone better?

“Your laugh gets squeaky when you giggle for too long.”

A pause. You still couldn’t look at him. 

“The way you talk about your favourite characters is filled with so much passion and nuance, I know for a fact that that doesn’t just apply to them. You do a cute thing where you break eye contact with me when you stare at me for too long, we’ve been together for four years. You annoy me every day when I don’t pay attention to you and then take your revenge by eating my food.”

Your eyes were blurry from the unshed tears that threatened to break free and all Mikey could do was kiss your cheek as he continued his list. 

“Your hands are very small in mine and you give me extra meat on my plate when you think I’m not looking and you pat babu on his headlights like he’s precious to you. You complain about having to take care of a big baby like me but do it anyway. And you cackle every time you put my hair in pigtails like it's the most evil plan. We spent fifteen minutes the other day doing basic math when tryna bake something and ended up getting flour everywhere. What a silly question for you to ask, honey.” 

You sniffled and let him turn your head so you could see the crinkling of the corner of Mikey’s eyes and the gentle smile he reserved for only you. And as much as you wanted to let it go then and there, your fist still punched his shoulder, albeit with no strength in it. 

“Then why was your face so close to that model, you jackass?” Another fist landed on his chest but he didn’t budge at all, cradling your face that didn’t wanna venture too far away from his hand. “I get that she’s pretty but you can’t just do that to me!! Am I not enough? Do you think it’s fine cuz it's a photoshoot? Cuz no! I don’t like it at all!!! You fucker! You piece of shit!”

Mikey sighed, closing his eyes for a second before saying, “it’s not what it looks like.”

The scripted sounding line made you see red as your foot kicked him almost reflexively in the stomach. He fell back onto the bed, legs and arms spread as he groaned at the impact. You took the chance to get up and begin walking out of the room. 

“I know it looks bad but genuinely! Not what you think it is!” 

The pillow you threw at him shut him up real quick and he was left laying there in a disgruntled ball. The door slammed shut behind you as you stomped your way into the guest bedroom, closing with less intensity as your anger fizzled out as soon as you went inside. You sat down on the bed, the photo burned into your retina and every single comment going through your head like you’re scrolling through your phone at that exact moment. 

After half an hour, the door to the room opened and mentally cursed yourself for forgetting to lock it. This didn’t change the position you were in, a small ball of pity on one corner of the bed. There were two thumps on the side table next to you and after some shuffling, the door opened and closed. You waited five minutes before peeking from your blanket. A glass of water sat on the table along with your phone, precariously placed in your direction. You looked around and saw the room being empty before you chugged the water down. 

Your phone pinged with a notification from Mikey’s instagram. He posted something while the two of you were in an active fight? That bitch-

You picked up your phone, stared at your lockscreen of Mikey and you with your cheeks pressed together and opened his page despite yourself. It was a video with the caption ‘thanks for sending this @luvrboisanzu’. The video played on its own, a few seconds before the camera had captured the photo that had caused this whole ordeal. The model was seen hovering behind him, leaning down with her hand stretching out towards his face. There was no hesitance in Mikey’s hand shooting up and grabbing her wrist, glaring at her before glaring at the director telling him to ‘let her’.

“It’s just for the camera! People will love it!” The old man persisted before Mikey stood up from his seat. 

“I’m taken and I’m bored. We must have enough by now, right?” Mikey’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his dress pants, eyes sharp and steady. 

“Oh come on, a few more won’t hurt right? Think of your fans---” The director pushed on and the air around Mikey changed immediately. It grew more stifling, his eyes narrowing at the man. 

Silence, no one knew what to say before Ken-chin brought over Mikey's jacket. Mikey began leaving, ignoring the stammering staff members that were asking him to stay. 

“Oof,” a sound came from behind the camera and you instantly recognized it as Haruchiyo, “dude bro really shouldn't have pushed it.” 

And the video ended.

You stared at the screen for a second, noticing the little red circle on his profile. You clicked it without thinking, the video that played took a second for you to process. 

Sanzu had posted it on his story and tagged @bikerboi_manjiro, Mikey had shared it on his story. The main focus was Mikey, his hair up in a ponytail while he played patty cake with someone that you instantly realised was you off camera. The memory was clear in your head, from a few months ago when you were on the sidelines watching haru fuck around with Mikey under the guise of a makeover. His nails were painted metallic silver, his nose was grazed with blush and he had graphic liner adorning his eyes. 

The main problem with filming was his lack of attention span and inability to sit still. So he'd often just move around or eat the snacks or bound over to you for your affection. In this instance, the two of you were bored and ended up just stuck in a long game of patty cake. 

Mikey, in the video, watched your hands fumble and grinned brightly before grabbing your hands in his. You remembered how flustered you had gotten from his stare, you two had been together for a long time but his gaze still felt too much to you at times. Mikey broke down laughing seeing you all blushy, eyes squeezing shut and leaning closer towards you. 

The story left your screen and you were left with a swirl of emotions which you could only describe as embarrassed, awed and grateful. As well as just a tiny bit pissed that he thinks that he could post himself being cute and you'd walk out the door back into his arms?? He was right, of course. But it still pissed you off.

So you dragged your ass out of the guest room and instantly noticed his napping form on the living room couch. Mikey's head was against the couch cushion, eyes closed and hair spread out like a halo. 

And without much warning, you plopped yourself on his lap. His eyes instantly shot open, instantly focused on you as you made yourself comfortable on your seat. Mikey's arms went around your waist, soothing your back with his large hand as you laid your head on your shoulder.

“Sorry for kicking you….and punching you….and doubting you.” You whispered.

Mikey snorted, “couldn't have asked for a better kick. And it's fine, I would've kicked myself too if I could. Sorry it came to this.” 

“I shouldn't have thought you would do anything with another person….you never gave me a reason to believe that.” You squeezed him against you as much as you could, letting him soak in your warmth.

“You're always so hard on yourself, you know that? Always think the worst of yourself. Which is very annoying when I look at you and I see the best person I could possibly be with. I really don't think you understand how lucky I am to be dating you.” Mikey whispered, placing soft kisses along your neck and shoulder, letting you melt into him.

“I'm just me.” You whined, too focused on his lips on your skin than your words.

“And you are something that is so rare and precious that it's a miracle I found you. You think I can walk down the street or go into a photo shoot and find someone like you? I could spend lifetimes searching and not get close, yet here you are…in my lap.” Manjiro's kisses had turned into light nibbling , hand curling so that the back of his nails could graze your spine, causing you to shiver.

“You're a very silly little baby aren't you, honey? Having these silly thoughts. You don't need to stress your pretty head about it, no not at all.” Mikey spoke gently, voice soft and buttery. And you just whined into his shoulder, letting his words fog up your brain and close your eyes.

Mikey's long fingers made their way into your hair, scratching your scalp enough for your nerves to come alive and cause shivers run down your back. His nails reached the nape of your neck and a little whimper forced its way out of your throat. 

“Mh-hm.” Mikey hummed, rocking from side to side. Your head was stuck in a dream-like state, body melted against his own with barely any thoughts left. 

“Jiro.” You whined, feeling overwhelmed. Your boyfriend only chuckled, playing with the hem of your shorts, asking for permission. And oh, you wanted him so badly.

My Dadu (my Russian great grandfather, I was raised in Russia till I was 12) called my Ptichka- "baby bird"

That and my cousins all called me Mishka "little mouse" and I had a schoolteacher when I was young who called me Solnishka "little sunshine"

Pet names are so cute to me and they warm my heart

Platonically giving you the nickname Koteka- an absolutely goofy babytalk version of the russian word for "kitty" that my Babu used to use on the barn kittens 😺

That is so fucking cute oh lord… what sweet childhood nicknames it’s so precious that u an ur family have that. I’m actually going 2 cry koteka is so so so lovely I am honored…

What to know about anti-reflux surgery

Many people witness mild heartburn from time to time, but if you discover yourself dealing with constant heartburn and regurgitation, it could be a signal of gastroesophageal reflux disease( GERD). This chronic condition occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter does not close correctly, allowing stomach acid to escape into the esophagus. In India, GERD affects around 20- 30% of the population, leading to ongoing discomfort. While lifestyle changes and antacid drugs are helpful for some, they may not always give the relief you need. In these anti reflux surgery could be a more operative option.

Dr. N. Subrahmaneswara Babu, a renowned  surgical gastroenterologist in Hyderabad, provides precious information on when surgery is necessary, the different procedures accessible, and what you can expect during the recovery process. However, it might be worth looking at these perceptions for a healthier, more comfortable future, If you’re struggling with GERD.

When Is Anti-Reflux Surgery Necessary?

Anti-reflux surgery is generally recommended when GERD symptoms are severe and patient, despite trying medicines and lifestyle changes. If you are experiencing:

Frequent Heartburn: More than twice a week.

Regurgitation: A sour or bitter-tasting acid backing up into your throat or mouth.

Difficulty Swallowing: Caused by damage to the esophagus.

Dependence on Medications: Needing daily medication without significant relief.

In these cases, surgery may be the next step to bring long-term relief and prevent further complications.

Here are a few things that you need to know about GERD surgery:

Types of Anti-Reflux Surgery for GERD

There are several types of anti-reflux surgeries, with the most common being

Nissen Fundoplication: The most constantly performed surgery for GERD. During this procedure, the upper portion of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to toughen the stopcock between the esophagus and the stomach, preventing acid reflux.

Toupet Fundoplication: A partial fundoplication where the stomach is wrapped around the esophagus in an expressway that allows the esophagus to relocate more freely. It’s usually employed when the esophagus has downgraded motility.

LINX Device: A newer, less invasive procedure where a ring of magnetic beads is placed around the lower esophagus. This device strengthens the valve while allowing food to pass through.

How Is Anti-Reflux Surgery Performed?

Most Anti-reflux surgeries are done utilizing minimally invasive laparoscopic ways. This involves making fragile lacerations in the tummy to fit a camera and special instruments. The surgeon also reinforces the lesser esophageal sphincter( LES) to prevent acid influx. Laparoscopic surgery is required because it usually results in lesser pain, shorter hospital stays, rapid reclamation, and minimum scarring assimilated to traditional open surgery. The procedure generally takes 1 to 2 hours, with most people returning to usual exercise within a few weeks.

What is involved in the recovery after GERD surgery?

Recovery after anti-reflux surgery varies depending on the type of surgery performed, but generally includes:

Hospital Stay: Most patients stay in the hospital for one to two days after surgery.

Dietary Changes: primarily, you’ll need to follow a liquid or soft food diet before gradually returning to a regular diet.

Activity Restrictions: You’ll be advised to avoid heavy lifting and energetic activities for several weeks to have a proper recovery.

Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to watch your recovery and ensure the surgery’s success.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Anti-Reflux Surgery?

Recovery from anti-reflux surgery is generally quick with laparoscopic methods. Most cases stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days and can renew light exercise within 2 to 3 weeks. Full reclamation generally takes around 4 to 6 weeks, during which time you will follow a special diet and avoid violent activities. If you’re struggling with persistent GERD and haven’t found relief, anti-reflux surgery might be the answer. Dr. N. Subrahmaneswara Babu, a leading GERD specialist in Hyderabad, offers developed treatments for operative relief. Book an appointment today to explore your options and find lasting relief.

Bustafellows!! Kansou log.

entry 1: 07/03/2024

Prologue - Chap 1

This post contains heavy spoilers about the game Bustafellows. It is basically me rambling about games. Read at your own risk.

Today I played bustafellows for the first time. I heard a lot of good things about it and it was 40% off on steam so I bought it.

The start menu was pretty cool, it looked like a futuristic control panel, maybe a hacker thing is involved in the story.

It was soooo confusing at first. I didn't know who was talking to who (because the mc voice was a male sob) and struggled for two hours to find the menu button.

The background art is beautiful with little animations to give life to it, and is pretty cool. The sound of the city is cool too. I don't really like the character art for male characters... but it's okay Yuru’s filter is on.

But then there are the back side sprites, it feels so weird. But then they do even weirder. You get to see the back of your character (the MC). It kinda feels like they are telling you you are only reading a story and the mc isn't you.

As for the first impression about the characters.....

Helvetica: The worst first meeting ever, I seriously don't like this guy. He gives scores to your face, plus overly friendly and touchy for a first meeting. 

The only positive point about him might be the fact he is straightforward and realistic? He will probably tell you everything he thinks about you without a filter. I don't hate him as a character but I'm not sure about dating him. He seems like a nice person to be friends with…

The hitman woman impersonation mission was kinda cool. And how his voice actor just change voice was really cool damn. (don’t know if the girl voice and his regular voice is done by the same person) 

Limbo: Such a cheeky brat at first then understood he was just the little brother of his family. A little bit too perfect? Kinda precious. But with chapter 1 he showed his reliable big bro side with a lot of money with the other brat (edie). He is actually really smart, not only lore wise. I like the fact they show how smart he actually is and didn't make him make stupid choices so far. I was moved when he was the first person to think about a solution to help us when we lose our apartment and gave us several viable solutions so fast. He is very reliable. Very precious with his sister. I wanna bully him so much. My third favorite so far.

Shu: He seems cool and dangerous at first but then you see how caring he is in his way uuuugghhhdgqqskdhsqgdj 

Like how he let Edie understand shooting on someone is a heavy burden to carry. He had so many ways to make him understand but he chose the most cruel, efficient but yet kind way. 

I bet the first person he had to kill was someone precious to him……. Sob… I really like his relationship with the other members, his tongue is so sharp but without ill intent just so full of sarcasm. I think his route will be perilous and we will be arguing with him the whole time, sob. My second favorite.

Mozu: Don't know much about him but he is my favorite so far. I love his voice so much!!! (fukuyama jun!) He is cute, has the weirdest humor. He seems like a very sensitive person. I want to know more about him… He is a mom, he cooks, he is pretty, a tsun or a kuu I don't know. Mommy. babu areuh. (IQ 2 Yuru)

Crow: I don't know what to say about him. He is a nice guy but he is so cringe…!! And screaming cherryboy!!! He is like a teenager!!! Kinda pure in his delusions!! But very considerate but he is a bit scary. It feels like he will be very scary if he gets angry I dunno… There always is darkness in hikikomori characters. Anyway, someone help him please and make him touch some grass and breathe some fresh air. He is like a shiba inu… (I don't really like shiba inus even if they are cute.) He feels a bit too immature. I might consider him like a little brother and no more. Sorry but you are my least favorite.

MC: She is the hero type character who just wants to save everyone. I don't really like this kind of character. but…! She is hard working and her will to find scoops over money is kinda lovable. I like her so far even though she tend to let her emotions overwhelm her actions despite being a journalist. I hope she was a bit more of an analytical/rational person. 

Sauli: Why isn't this fine wine romanceable cry? seriously more interested in him than Helvetica.

Valerie: Limbo's sister, I really like her! She is so proud of her little brother and is so supportive!! So precious, strong. And pretty!!

Luka: She is such a good friend. I love her. And she is pretty Badass too! I believe she has a crush on MC tho.

Alex: Very cute and a good boy.

Irina: A mysterious woman, I don’t know what her plan is but it feels like she has given up on living for some reason as if she is ready to throw her life away to save someone. 

Carmen: Damn pretty and cute. I love her. Her interactions with Alex are really adorable. She is like his mom or sister…

The story is pretty interesting so far and the side characters are very cool and have a lot of charm.

[zaenaris]

I feel like ch.264 gave us more questions than answers

Don’t get me wrong, it’s very interesting to see Mikey’s POV , but in this chapter we didn’t have many groundbreaking revelations

Drakemma first meeting was so cute and precious, but we know their story ended before it could even start even if they loved each other. I will always thank Wakui for adding their first meeting, but it’s also so sad😭

It was nice seing Toman’s birth from Mikey’s POV but we still do not know why Sanzu, that seemed to always follow Mikey like a puppy and is one of his oldest friends (are they even friends, I wonder, or they’re just acquaintances?) only gets one panel in the whole chapter. It’s. weird. It is almost like Sanzu has always been a second-rate “friend” to Mikey, the one that tag along, never under the spotlight but always there. It’s missing something to clearly understand their relationship.

I’ve always been under the impression Sanzu was more like a “servant” to Mikye’s “king” and the fact Mikey didn’t spare a world for Sanzu in this chapter kind of cement this belief of mine. But again, we will see, especially if we’ll ever get Sanzu’s POV. Because honestly, if the flashback from the previous chapter where we saw again Mikey’s attacking Sanzu was supposed to mean he acted like that because he had just lost his mom... Idk, it could have been explained better imho.  I hope there’s more but if there’s not and it’s just “Mikey is like this because he couldn’t deal with his mom’s death + toxic masculinity and the idea you don’t have to cry and you have to be strong”... I mean, okay, but I feel it could have been explained better? Idk, I hope we’ll get more context

It’s super sad that Mikey was going to Shinichiro’s shop because Shin called him and just finished working on Mikeys’ birthday gift, his beloved Babu, only to see the aftermath of his friends accidentally killing his brother. But again, why the hell would Shin call Mikey in the middle of the night to show him his birthday present six days/one week before his actual birthday? It is just as weird as the fact Baji, that knew and admired Shinichiro, didn’t realize they were trying to steal a bike from his shop. This thing never made sense to me, never. Especially since we have seen that Baji kept being aroung Mikey even after the airplane thing with Sanzu and it would have made sense seeing Shin/talking about him

It’s interesting tho that Mikey decided to expand Toman after Shinichiro’s death and that Pah and Mitsuya were kind of against it. Draken instead was okay with Mikey’s plans. Once again we have seen Mikey trying to be strong and not to cry even after Shin passing. 

Idk, I wonder if Mikey’s idea to expand Toman was more like something he felt he had to do to live up to his brother’s status among delinquents (especially since Toman has never been his idea in the first place, but Baji’s) rather than something he genuinely wants.

On the other hand “strong alone is not enough” is something positive imo. So maybe, being surrounded by many people was the right path, even if it started in an ambiguous way

Last chapter explained us something about Mikey’s parents, but nothing followed this week on that side. I would like to hear his opinion on his parent, but maybe it’s not the moment yet

Anyway, this whole chapter, while sad and bittersweet, feels like a prelude to the next one, where’s we will see Takemichi and Kisaki, the two driving forces of the story. Probably this chapter would be more satisfying in the volume, as an introduction to ch. 265

Chapter 265 that we’ll have to wait for 2 weeks but that will be 26 pages long + a color page, so okay, we can wait

‼️ emergency commissions open ‼️

My cat Merry is back in the hospital. The last month has been sort of Hellish w my dog Milo passing, then Merry getting horribly sick not 2 days later, going in and out of the hospital, and I’ve really been gouged. I was just getting my footing back, but he’s back in medical boarding, and I’m working, but I really need some extra bits of income to help w this

Look at his precious face 🥺

my babu 🥺 his brother, Pippin, is at home w me, also anxious for his return. It may be a hot minute, though — Merry needs a pretty severe surgery (P.U surgery for those wondering), and he’s going to be boarded at the hospital for some time, i think (my apartment is way, way too small to be good for his aftercare, so I’m going to have to board him).

Here are some commission pieces I’ve done most recently:

DM me here or on Twitter (@loserchldhtpnts) for inquiries, payments will be made on Venmo or at PayPal.me/loserchildhotpants

Please, please reblog!

Okay, let’s do some Achi Initial Assessments for the new pokemon and forms for Legends: Arceus. These’ll just be based on appearance and flavor text, because I ain’t playing the game.

We start with Hisuian forms and then move on towards new pokes, as they’re listed on Serebii, for ease.

Hisuian Forms

Hisuian Growlithe- I think we can all agree this guy is pretty fucking cute. I’m not necessarily fond of the horn on the head, but it does bring the look together so I’ll allow it. And all the curls? Just a very nice contrast with the OG and also a good nod to I believe guardian lions? Live and work in pairs? Wonderful, beautiful, the worldbuilding you could build off that is perfection. Also, enjoy the way the shiny looks closer in color to the OG. 8/10, could better but overall a precious pupper.

Hisuian Arcanine- First time seeing and I think I am quite fond of this. The whole armor thing it’s got going, in the deep grey against the deep-colored fur? Very classy and giving me a samurai vibe. The additional two smaller horn on the head also are a great improvement on the single horn of Growlithe. Shiny here is a near match for the OG shiny, rather than for the OG, but I like that. Looking at the flavor text, it seem to tend towards hit-and-run tactics it look like, being described as leading it’s enemies in an almost dancing chase. 9/10, and not just because Arcanine in general is a favorite, loses a point for the carved wood look it’s got going.

Hisuian Voltorb- My child. My precious babu. The wood grain for the bottom half is just a joy, and the way they changed the shape of the eyes and made the brows like a wooden cut-out to change the feel of the pokemon? Love it, perfection. Add to that the shiny exchanges the red for black, that not only is lovely on it’s own but also contrasts nicely with the light brown? And releasing it’s electricity and laughing when it’s excited? Who couldn’t love. 10/10, I want like fifty. I’m an electric specialist it’s allowed.

Hisuian Electrode- The eyes are contained in a recessed shape in the body, I am going to die. And the mouth look painted on! The shape of the eyes and the form of the mouth really give off the impression of a pokemon that is just fucking done, and I can appreciate that. Shiny is same as Voltorb so, same love there. Flavor text says... 1) That it’s got the same surface composition as apricorns (you could do so much with that) and 2) it lets off charges with the power of 20 lightning bolts when aggravated. That’s my dream. 10/10, I want to be a Hisuian Electrode in my next life.

Hisuian Typhlosion- This one I’m having to go find a video of, because Serebii doesn’t have an image with the flames so... First off it’s a dual ghost type now? Have to give props to that I wouldn’t have expected it. Like the purple of the fur and the longer tail, and it’s expression just looks, sleepy or dopey. It’s cute. Looks like you could throw it a ball and it would just be confused. An interesting change from the OG. The flame collar goes all around the throat now, with pink flames that are smaller at the front but grow into a proper large crest from the back as one would expect. More flowy than sparky flames as well, as one would expect from a ghost-type. I don’t know if the shiny’s flames are a different color- if the OG is anything to go by no- but it’s nice to see it’s shiny color mimicking OG’s color. Flavor text says it supposedly purifies lost and forsaken souls, guiding them to the afterlife. Another 10/10, dopey weasel with a good and loving heart.

Hisuian Qwilfish- Of all the pokemon I didn’t expect. Can’t say I’m all that impressed with it. The changes are mostly to coloration and I’m just not digging the black/hot pink combo they’ve got going on, especially not with the tan underbelly. ‘It’s a dark type now’ bite me it’s awful. Giving it eye bags isn’t helping either, and the only change to the tail seems to be the removal of the two long spots to replace them with a six. Shiny coloration is, if anything, worse, as they replace the black and pink with with silver and blue-violet in just, uncomplementing shades. Flavor text is just that fisherman hate it because it spews poison everywhere. 2/10, me too, Hisuian fishermen, me too.

Hisuian Sneasel- So, you’re a fighting/poison type now? Well that certainly a change. Very purple now, with a dripping effect with the darker pruple on the claws and a roundedness to the masking on the face and patch over the chest and shoulders... Again there’s not really that much change from the original design. The claws are more curved maybe? I do like the consept of the shiny at least, that it seems to be inspired by both the OG and it’s shiny, but I’m not sure how I feel about it itself. With the blue gens, it doesn’t seem right. Flavor text implies it’s less viscious than OG Sneasel, and says the venom from it’s claws affects the nervous system. I say, 4/10, it’s just not changed enough from the OG and is pretty underwhelming on it’s own.

Hisuian Samurott- They made it a kirin. It’s a sleek and spiky water/dark type in darker tones with black and red accents instead of the more cream color you got with the OG. There’s not really much to say here I’m afraid, at least not for me. It’s less ripped than OG? There’s probably a lot of people who enjoy the change? The shiny seems to attempt to harken back somewhat in the shell colors, but not too much. It’s ‘hard of heart’ but that’s really all the flavor text seems to give us... 5/10, not bad overall but not quite changed enough and, like Qwilfish, trying too hard, like it came out of Hot Topic or something.

Hisuian Lilligant- And then we get this fucker! This is just a person! Where are your other two legs, Lilligant?! Why are your eyes so small? Your legs so blatant? I like the sorter ‘hair’ and smaller flower but wtf? You’re a fighting-type now? So what?! You can fight in a poofy dress (I will make a fighting-type in a poofy dress see if I don’t) and that’s no reason to be so, human! ‘Okay what about the-’ there are no shiny changes because there’s no real color changes in general. We get a bit of red but that’s because the fucker is wearing pants now. Flavor texts suggests the legs may be a result of living in deep snow, also says the scent of it’s flower heartens people. 1/10, not because it’s a bad design or it doesn’t look good but purely because this isn’t a pokemon, this is what you’d get if you asked the Zelda team to remake Folklore. As a Folk, it’d get 6/10.

Hisuian Zorua- Back to ones we’ve seen previous! This is a cute enough little thing. Very Zorua, but the long wispy fur makes it different enough int form to work, and it’s sad expression is a solid change of personality. Like the color scheme as well, with the white and pale grey fading into red, like the spirit of some slaughtered creature wandering the snow. The shiny as well, darkens the grey and brings in the blue from the OG shiny to replace the red once more, making it look less ‘murder victim’ and more ‘blue raspberry snowcone’, which it would probably appreciate. Flavor text is all about it being a spirit returned to this world and how it ain’t fucking happy about it. Can blame you kiddo, I’d be venting malice if I had to worry about weather again too. 7.5/10, leave it offerings and then leave.

Hisuian Zoroark- Okay the red spots on the white and grey? The wildness of the wispy mane? The sharpness of the face and claws in contrast with said mane? Quality, this thing would follow the Joker around waiting to kill him in the most dramatically appropriate method possible and then Harley would keep it in her apartment with the hyenas. Shiny darkens the grey again and brings back the OG’s purple which somehow makes it look more like an ax-murderer. Flavor text is all about how it looks like death come for you and attacks so viciously it takes chunks out of itself. 9.6/10, don’t bother with the offerings just play dead and scoot away slowly when it’s not looking.

Hisuian Braviary- It has so much ‘hair’. So much. The black and white color scheme isn’t bad, though the pink and blue eye crest sort’ve fades into it. Seems beefier than the OG as well. The shiny says ‘fuck white bits’ and just goes for all blacks, which makes the now all-blue crest really stand out, love the combo. Flavor text says it has a bloodcurdling battlecry and stuns fish with shockwaves before snatching them from the surface. 6/10, not bad, not great, not much going on.

Hisuian Sliggoo- The snail hath become extra snail! Seriously the only real change is that the shell has grown enormously and now Sliggoo can properly live in it, which it is. Good for Sliggoo. Also it’s far less impressed with life. Instead of the whole snail turning color with the shiny, instead the shell just goes from white to brown, which is nice. Ooo, flavor text confirms it’s melancholic as fuck and the shell is metallic! Which now that I look at the new typing makes sense, we have a new dragon/steel dual-type! 8/10, I’ve never been big on Sliggoo but I like this guy!

Hisuian Goodra- Slug Dragon God returns as Snail Dragon God! It’s tail is now contained in or has been transformed into a big-ass shell it lugs around. Otherwise, changes are the same as Sliggoo. Flacor text says it can control the hardness of it’s shell and is also incredibly clingy. Apparently if you leave it alone it throws a hissy fit of epic proportions. 7/10, still good but somehow not as good as Sliggoo.

Hisuian Avalugg- Oh my gods, Avalugg, what happened. I don’t even know where to start describing this. It’s a slightly more rounded Avalugg-shaped rock (makes sense, half rock-type now) with thicker legs and a lower jaw bigger than the rest of it’s head. One you could probably cut cheese on. It actually doesn’t look bad, but it certainly looks. I cannot word it y’all come here and check for yourselves. Apparently it’s chin armor than cut through steel and it essentially acts like a snowplow. 7/10, just for confusion factor and anti-snowdrift behavior.

Hisuian Decidueye- Grass/Fighting type and, certainly a thing. More of the change than the other two starters, with it’s cloak being very shortened, it’s claws far more prominent, and it’s head hidden under a hat. A lot of hat. Gone for more a red fall-ish color scheme as well, which works very nicely. Everything is in more muted tones, and even the shiny, which has gone back to the OG’s greens, is darker and more muted. Flavor text says air in it’s feather’s keeps it warm. Over all another solid 7/10, it looks like it would drift into my town, kick out all the corrupt bastards and their cronies, and drift away again on the wind leaving nothing but well wishes and pining Dartrix behind.

Non-Specific Forms

Dialga (Origin Forme)- It looks like Dialga had a tragic accident in a PS2 while getting far too familiar with Arceus. Shiny adds green. Apparently this has to be it’s true form, merged with Arceus, because it’s that damn strong. 1/10, if I saw this in my game I’d assume there was a glitch.

Palkia (Origin Forme)- Apparently when Palkia merges with Arceus it channels KnightChessmon, who knew? I fear for this pokemon. Supposedly it’s taking this form to try to get Arceus’s power which... 2/10, no you’re not a fever-dream nightmare but hun it’s still not worth it

Basculin (White Stripe)- Looks more salmony than red- or blue-stripe, and the stripe isn’t so much white as it is a very light blue, but I like it. Looks excited to be alive. Shiny gains a yellow-ish tint which isn’t too bad. Apparently it’s a gentle pokemon, but despite this it’s considered similar enough to other Basculin to be listed as a regional form. 10/10, a good fishy-fish.

New Pokemon

Wyrdeer- After 5000 years Stantler finally got an evo. Love how fucking fluffy it looks, like you could get lost in it’s mane. The antlers are more angular, but still nice enough. Shiny form goes for a more muted olivey green to go with Wyrdeer’s more muted browns incomparison to Stantler. Apparently it’s orbs shine when it’s erecting barriers and it’s fur make fantastic cold-weather gear. 9/10, with a point added for simply being an evolution for Stantler.

Kleavor- I have never been big on. It looks very much like a villain out of an old samurai film but for the most part it doesn’t impress me. But then Scizor doesn’t either so, what do I know. Shiny is green, axes are axes, yawn. Flavor text says it’s violent and you don’t wanna meet it int he woods. 4/10, I certainly don’t, they need to stop trying to improve on Scyther.

Ursaluna- I fucking missed you originally! I’m so sorry! I’m actually quite fond of this thing here. Very bulky, follows the trend so far of darker pokemon, and I’ve been wanting a bear pokemon that goes around on all fours. Until know we just had Stufful, but now Ursaring, who I was always just okay about, has a whole big bulky quadruped thing going on for it’s evo. I like the almost blanket-like patch on the back, and the sort’ve sunrays going on there. It’s just, very nice, it comes together well. The red of the shiny, also, I’m quite fond of, much moreso than the nasty greens of it’s pre-evos. Also it apparently can manipulate peat at will. 10/10, it’s a big-ass bear that manipulates peat how could you want more?

Basculegion- Has a male and female form, which gotta say I prefer the understated and more muted look of the female one. Shinys aren’t bad either, though I prefer the purple the male one turns to the yellow for the female one, goes better with the rest of the colors. Flavor texts talks about it being cloaked in the souls of it’s fallen comrades and how no other pokemon in the region can compare. 7/10 for the male form, 8/10 for the female, I quite enjoy them.

Sneasler- I am getting Dr Suess vibes. This is the Onceler’s chronicly ill cousin. I do like that it’s feather ear has elongated and become floppy, it really fits the more melancholy mood of this pokemon. Not very impressed with the shiny though, if just all yellow and not even the pretty yellow. Apparently they had ‘virulent poison’ and ‘physical prowess’ and are antisocial as fuck. 4/10, Gardevoir for the Tumblr era.

Overqwil- They took Hisuian Qwilfish and made it More. I’m not even sure these images are real despite being on Serebii I can’t make heads or tails of what the fuck is supposed to be going on with it’s face. Oh, wait! I’ve noticed a change! The six on the tail is a ‘Q’ now. Apparently it’s a dick, nicknamed the ‘sea fiend’ and it eats poison. 1/10, great I can’t even fucking kill it.

Enamorus- I am looking at this and y’all, y’all, I think they made a female counterpart to the Unova weather trio? And made it 80% pink? And skinny? With a heart motif? And a snake? And fucking lipstick? And it’s Therian forme is... I don’t even know what that’s trying to be? Some sort’ve turtle? With a cloud and a snake for a shell? It’s fucking eight inches tall? Shiny color is, it’s more pink, lighter pink, who cares. Flavor text says that the ‘feminine humanoid form’ (their words not mine) brings Spring and love, while the weird turtle metes out divine punishment for people who disrespect life and living things. 2/10, guys I love turtles I want to support a turtle legend but dear gods. One point for turtle, that’s all I can do.

About the Fanchildren ask! Gives us Haru info with 7 and 10 👀

Ah my dear friend yes! 🥺✨ bless you for this ask @shinitai-i (◕‿◕✿) I do hope you enjoy some more info on my best baby Haruko 🤍🐯

Ah also drew a nice art for AtsuDany + Haruko and am so happy how it turned out thanks to thee UwU

Enjoy! 🥺🤍

7. What does the Christmas Card/Family Portrait look like?

Lol the struggle I had to figure out poses for AtsuDany and Haruko 🥺🤍 so much inspiration but alas my hands can’t always do what I want them to do 😭

Nonetheless, I drew something that I am very happy with and just melting over! 🧡 🍁 🍂 🎃 A sweet Fall!Family portrait! ✨ I say Haru is about 1 and a 1/2 here! They sitting comfy on their dad’s shoulders! UwU precious baby always with their tiger ears peeking out. Overall, we don't take so many family photo's often, of course there is a special one with each babe that is part of AtsuDany family of course! So another with Yuki and one with Ezra when she is born! So a nice full AtsuDany Family portrait sits on a nice mantle in the living space <3

Also like the fluffy feelings in my chest as I drew wedding bands on our hands like — (─ ‿‿ ─)♡ please I’m melting over the idea of being married to Atsushi like help (⁎˃ᆺ˂) 💕

10. What do they do when they’re grown up?

Hmm, I’ve thought of this before only for…for this anguishy side story of AtsuDany I’ve fabricated due to self loathing and a bad dream I had like months ago …

But we’re not for that here! 😤 To be honest, I haven’t thought that far ahead for Haruko in main canon… they are still my baby to be honest most of the time ;;w;; I think if anything, they may pursue a university after high school, what specifically is a question to me… probably nothing of detective or crime oriented like their parents tho. But they do live for helping people in anyway shape or form, even if it’s other gifted tolerating their abilities.

They are definitely more calmer than they were a child so they are more patient with their emotions a lot. And they hardly use their ability a lot as before, just every so often do they run about in their ability fully. Honestly, AtsuDany are okay with them pursuing whatever makes them happy as long as they are safe in their field hopefully 🙏🏼 anything away from possible danger like their standing in the Agency.

I will say, they did help out around the Agency for a bit with the clerks and worked part-time in the coffee shop in the first floor ya once they were a teen.

Many thanks again for the ask my dear friend! I have so many feelings over my precious babu and my self ship with Atsushi 🤍🐯 ahh soft happiness is keeping me in cloud 9 🤍

How could you forget the best characters...Wagahai and Toby?! For shame! ;P

OMG! For shame indeed, anon!!

Character Headcanons

1: sexuality headcanon: –– N/A

2: otp: –– These precious babus and all the love and cuddles and good snacks! Yes!

3: brotp: –– Gina (Toby) & Iris (Wagahai)

4: notp: –– I don't think Sholmes can be trusted to look after animals... or Gregson, or the two of them in tandem. A moment of silence for Madame Rosie, if you please (even if she's fine).

5: first headcanon that pops into my head: ––

Toby's favourite food is roast beef; he will look at whomever has the beef and whine and beg with his round, delightful eyes until the beef is gone or they cave in and give him some (he almost always ends up getting some beef)

Wagahai's favourite place to nap is on Sholmes' forehead, so the detective often finds himself with a cat for a hat when he wakes in the morning (and sometimes he won't notice and goes through his day with a cat for a hat...)

6: one way in which I relate to this character: –– I live in a room full of books, just like Wagahai used to!

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: –– There is zero embarrassment, these two are precious and babey and I love them!

8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?: –– Much cinnamonrolls such wow!!

TROS Reaction 12-20-19. AKA my 6 page long dissertation about why I really disliked TROS.

I didn’t think it would be this bad. I truly thought there would be some gleaming moments of redeemability, but no. It’s one...giant...shit-show. What a horrible blow to the end of not only the sequel trilogy and these characters but to everything that came before. It really takes skill to mess up this badly.

A little something nice though, was the guy I sat next to. Really nice (and cute too ^-^ ) and he offered me some of his candy (Buncha Crunch! My favorite!) before the film started and then throughout the film because he said, “Well this is consolation for having to sit next to me.” Aw I couldn’t have asked for a better seat partner, I didn’t even know him! And then when the film ended he knew I didn’t take it well and I cried and shook through many moments and he offered the rest of his candy and I said, “Thanks, I think I need it.” I asked him what he thought overall and he said, “C-3P0 was pretty funny.” I said, “Yeah I agree. I actually knew everything that happened before I saw it, and I thought it was a mess.” He chuckled and said, “Me too, but I didn’t want to say anything in case you liked it.” I said, “Oh, no, I didn’t really like it. But I gotta be honest, Ben Solo didn’t deserve to die. That’s just my opinion.” I think he was surprised by that but didn’t disagree. He just kinda nodded or something and then we said goodbye and he left with his buddies, who also seemed pretty unenthused by the whole movie. Hopefully I gave him something to think about with my comment, but he was really nice and I’m glad he sat next to me.

Pessimism aside for now, I’ll start by listing the things I liked. I gotta be honest, there’s not much here.

Reylo is canon! But, in my opinion, it was handled pretty badly. Ben’s death is only the start of the problems for it, but more on that later.

C-3P0 is funny I guess. Yes he is annoying sometimes like usual, but not more so than other times.

D-O is freaking adorable. Out of everything good I’ve listed I have no qualms with this one. His manner is cute, his speaking is very funny, and his actions are just precious.

Babu Frik is very cute too, just perfect! Lovely little puppet! Don’t know why he was shoehorned in at the end battle but whatever. We never saw him again.

Maz is a puppet now? Okay, cool. Wish that would’ve been the case since the beginning. You had the technology JJ.

The music is good, when it’s given its own time to shine and be noticed. I feel like I barely noticed it was there because sound effects just drowned it out. Really wasted, but still good nonetheless.

Leia’s death and how it affected Ben. Wow. This was the first moment I truly cried. This was handled very well by Adam Driver, and then Maz saying “Goodbye, Princess.” Ouch, that got me.

Ben talking to the memory of his father! This is something I did not know was in the movie and boy am I glad I wasn’t spoiled for it! THIS is where the really hard tears and sobbing came. I was literally shaking and shivering trying to keep it in so as not to disturb everyone else. This. Part. Was. Perfect. Ben looks at him like he wants to say “I love you,” and Han says out loud “I know.” *crazy screaming and crying* Out of all the things they got wrong for Ben in this film, THIS they got right!

Ben Solo is the Solo boy we always wanted. Running in with a t-shirt, gun slinging, blasting opponents without even looking. THIS is a true son of Solo! But of course they give him no lines except “Ow.” THAT was a bad idea.

And that’s it. Yes those are the only things I even remotely liked, but I have to be honest, each one of these has some kind of problem attached to it which sours the real enjoyment.

On to what I disliked. Strap in lads, this is going to be a long ride.

1. The pacing. OH. MY. GOSH. SLOW. THE. FUCK. DOWN. For fucks sake I couldn’t even process what the hell was happening before we were on to the next thing! This was the biggest problem with the movie, BY FAR. Yes I know the story is terrible, we’ll get to that, but the pacing just completely took me out of the movie. I couldn’t feel invested in anything because it was all in one ear and out the other like ten-fold!

And this is part of the issue I have with how Reylo was handled. It. Felt. So. Rushed. And. Unfinished. There weren’t enough scenes with them and the scenes we did get were so fast and then over with that it felt like no progress was being made at all! It felt, for lack of a better word, unearned. And I know, that’s not really the case since they’ve had plenty of build-up in the last 2 films, but there wasn’t enough time with them spent NOT fighting and hating each other and opposing each other. Yes, I know, Kylo kept trying to get Rey to take his hand, but it doesn’t feel genuine because even Kylo feels out of character, and Rey too, big time. Now this isn’t the actor’s faults, they did what they could with the shitty story they were given, so I put all this blame at JJ’s desk.

In any case the overall film pacing was too fast, too much, too soon, too many things onscreen, too many things happening at once, not enough character, not enough motivation, not enough letting scenes breathe and just play out naturally. Everything felt forced for the sake of the “plot.” Oh we gotta get this thing, and then that thing, to get this thing, so we can defeat these guys! LET. US. BREATHE.

2. The story. My gosh, they couldn’t have picked a worse storyline to follow. Everything truly felt like it was written by a fanboy who wanted to retcon everything in TLJ, even down to the dialogue. Everyone keeps saying to Rey “You’re a Palpatine.” But it sounds SO strange, like nobody says things like this. I get it, it’s a space fantasy, they talk weird mumbo jumbo but it just sounds like a fanboy ghost wrote this. Like we gotta have everyone know now she’s a Palpatine! You’re a Palpatine! You’re a Palpatine! Palpatine heir! All bow down to the Palpatine! Give me a break.

3. Yeah, let’s talk about Palps. The old raisin himself. You know, I never really liked ROTS, but Palps was always a great thing about it. He was sinister, diabolical, he had a plan and knew what to do with it. But this Palps. *le heavy sigh* What a waste this was. For one thing, the lightning effects that lights up his face is really annoying, even for someone who doesn’t get seizures, I can’t even imagine what it’s like for those who do, I’m so sorry. And like, he has this whole legion of Sith followers? The fuck? Where the hell were these guys before? I’m sure they existed BEFORE the last Sith Lord died, right?

I digress. I have a question though: why does he want Rey so much? Why didn’t he try to get his son to take over? Wouldn’t that have been easier? Also, WHO DID HE FUCK TO GET A SON?? HOW DID HIS SON GET AWAY FROM HIM?? WHY DID HIS SON APPARENTLY TURN TO THE LIGHT?? THERE’S TOO MANY QUESTIONS HERE AND NO GOOD EXPLANATIONS. AND NO DISNEY, I DON’T WANT A 10-PART COMIC ON THIS. GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

The only interesting thing about Palps in this film is that his face gets melted off like a Raiders of the Lost Ark knock-off. He better not be coming back. Ever again.

4. And hey, while we’re on the subject, let’s talk about Rey’s parents. So apparently they’re both good people. *le sigh* But what kind of good people leave their daughter alone on a harsh and unforgiving planet with a blubber guy? And don’t tell me they didn’t know he was an abusive asshole, they LIVED on Jakku, they HAD to have known him, ESPECIALLY if they truly were junk traders, they would have DEALT with him. Oh, and apparently the “I’ll come back for you sweetheart, I promise” line is changed up a bit and given to her father after all. No. Screw that. That line was meant for Ben, I don’t care how petty this sounds, this is terrible. So yeah, fuck Rey’s parents, I don’t care how “good” you try to make their intentions, they’re badly shoehorned in and they screw up anyway. Next.

5. Ben’s story and his fate. So yeah, obviously I hate that Ben died, but more than that I hate how his story was handled here. It was so rushed, it didn’t feel as natural as it should have. It needed time to BREATHE. A lot of time! And I feel like they really shafted Kylo/Ben’s story off to the side to give more time to the hereby named GoldenTrio. (You know who I mean...we’ll get to them.) It really seemed like JJ didn’t even care about Ben’s fate anymore, and just kind of put it in as an afterthought. His death scene? Not even given a fucking minute to process because WE GOT TO PARTAY. All in all, his whole story is so terribly sad that I don’t even know if I can watch TFA or TLJ anymore, knowing how it ends.

6. The GoldenTrio. Oh for fucks sake, JJ, you should have killed Poe off when you had the chance, because now the story is all about THEM. Boom! They’re literally front and center in the movie. I don’t even think Reylo gets as much screen time as them. I mean really, Ben’s death scene and Rey’s grieving gets 1.5 minutes, tops. GoldenTrio reunion and threesome hugging? 5 fucking minutes of nothing but them hugging. I’m not even exaggerating. (Okay maybe I am, but it’s given more focus and time to “breathe” than Ben Solo’s fucking death. I’m getting a headache remembering it.)

Hey, remember in ESB and ROTJ where the trio got split up and had their own story lines and own purposes to fulfill without each other hanging around (apart from Han and Leia because their story lines are interconnected)? Yeah, I miss that too.

Also, Rey keeps wandering off being “pulled” to something, and every...single...time, Finn is like “Rey, wait! Poe we gotta get her! rEy CoMe BaCk!!” This happens at least 5 times, pretty consecutively too. It gets old real fast. Boy do I miss the days of TLJ where people got to be away from each other to discover new things without interference.

Which leads me to another point: They tried to shove FinnRey in here while shitting on FinnRose quite literally. What. A. Slap. To. The. Face. This is horrible treatment, and I hope Kelly will never do another interview for Lucasfilm again. She doesn’t deserve this.

7. The Ending™. Wow. What a way to show that your characters haven’t progressed at all by showing them in the same environment that they started in. Let’s do an overview: Rey starts out alone on a desert planet and meets a droid that isn’t hers. Rey ends up alone on a desert planet with a droid that still isn’t hers. PROGRESSION 101!! *slaps forehead* I mean, don’t even get me started on the fact that Ben isn’t there with her and that literally one half of her soul is gone (how is she not in agony right now??), but then to add more salt to the wound she’s just like “oh yeah I must be the rightful successor to the Skywalker name, even tho I’m a Palps...makes sense to me!” Fuck off. You don’t deserve that title after hating Luke for not doing what you wanted him to do and for hating Ben for most of this movie too.

Can we also acknowledge that this is THE ABSOLUTE WORST POSSIBLE WAY TO END A 40 YEAR SAGA AND FAMILY LEGACY? So, Palps had a kid who had a kid. This kid is then deemed a-okay by the family that was affected most by Palps and they welcome her like the sunshine child she is, yet shun their own offspring for being damaged goods because he was being manipulated by said Palps. Okay, it’s official now, everyone’s an asshole...except Ben. He seemed to be the only one to understand his faults and right his wrongs and not be an idiot. Then the kid who was abused and manipulated is killed because “reasons” or “problematic” or whatever and the offspring of Palps lives while the family that Palps manipulated is ultimately gone forever because it’s last descendant wanted to save the offspring of Palps out of the goodness of his heart. Now the offspring of Palps doesn’t even give a flipping thank you and steals their name. wHaT a SaTiSfYiNg EnDiNg!!! Someone gag me.

8. Luke’s X-Wing being raised out of the water and it’s in perfect working condition. What. The. Fuck. I don’t know if you guys realize this, but this completely undermines Luke’s arc in TLJ. That X-Wing was sunk and dead to show that he had no desire to return to the outside world. He was staying on the island. For good. And he buried that thing in water to make sure he couldn’t use it ever again, but it was still visible to him to remind him of his conviction if ever he questioned it. But no. That thing is a-okay and ready to fly. No need for parts, there’s no rust or any sea salt corrosion, ready to go skipper! This was just added for easy call-backs to ESB but boy this had absolutely 0 weight to it. I literally yawned or looked at my watch around this part thinking “oh my gosh isn’t it over yet?” Pretty much sums up my entire experience.

9. Rose got shafted to appease the fanboys. This one needs no further explanation or analysis, it just sucks and has no real reason to exist.

10. Luke was barely in it and offered not that great advice. Poor Mark. His performance really peaked with TLJ and never went back up.

11. Rey is suddenly the Avatar now? You can now talk to all previous Jedi’s who existed? What buffoonery is this? Oh, but Ben doesn’t get a single. fucking. word. from Anakin, the man he looked up to. I’m so tired right now. What’s left?

12. The message changed from “it doesn’t matter if you’re a nobody, you’re a somebody to me” to “you’re a somebody with a bad bloodline, but that doesn’t define you (except when it totally does)”. That sort of message would be fine if it had been the message since TFA, but it wasn’t. The message since TFA was “I’m a nobody, but I can become a somebody regardless of my lineage or my childhood.” Why change the message in the 11th hour? To appease fanboys. Literally anything that makes no sense in this movie can be attributed to fanboys. There’s so much contradiction and hypocrisy in this film from both the narrative and the characters that it’s insulting.

13. Hux was utterly shafted too. What a waste of a well built up and conniving little bastard who in the end gets shot for shock value and laughs. It’s like what TLJ did but way worse because he’s actually killed. Hux as the spy? Just no.

14. Jannah was kind of wasted too, not enough screen time. I get her and Finn kind of bonding over being ex-stormtroopers, but it’s not really delved into. Also the whole “nature vs. machinery” thing kinda briefly shows up at the big battle and feels unearned too, because there was nothing before in this movie or others to suggest there was a war between the two.

15. Poe is treated more as the heir to Leia than Ben is. Poe gets to fly the falcon and gets to wreck it up (dishonoring who it belonged to before), gets to be by Leia’s deathbed, etc. Not earned at all.

16. The pointlessness of random cameos or thrown in references. Not a single person in my theater noticed John Williams as the bartender, nobody pointed out or said anything about any reference from previous movies, it was silent.

17. What the hell was even the point of the whole “Dark Rey” vision? Oh, she shows her scary pointy teeth ala Bilbo style. No thank you.

18. Why the hell does it feel like these characters aren’t the characters from TFA and TLJ? They feel so different and it’s noticeable.

19. Finn is Force sensitive. Literally tacked on like nobody wouldn’t notice. We noticed JJ. We notice everything.

20. Rey and Kylo/Ben fighting for way too much of the film and their interactions. Not enough caring or understanding, not enough longing looks, it feels like their romance was almost cut from the film entirely.

21. Oh yeah, Rey floating at the beginning? Looked stupid as hell. And the “Be with me” line? I thought maybe, just maybe, she meant Ben, but no. She’s trying to reach “her past selves” like the fucking Avatar and she’s even floating rocks around like Aang did. Ugh.

22. Anything else? Oh yeah, this movie sucks completely and wholly...FOR NOT GIVING ONE FUCKING LINE OF DIALOGUE TO BEN SOLO AFTER HE HAD BEEN REDEEMED. HOW HEARTLESS CAN YOU BE THAT YOU LET HIM DIE WITHOUT SAYING ONE FINAL THING?!?! DAMN J.J. YOU’RE STUPID.

And that’s it. Kudos if you read the whole thing. I ramble a lot.

Felicia as a new middle child

So I guess this is a surprise one Cause this is about the new event in Magia Record. It’s not a bad one, in fact it’s a massive step up from the last one and gives me some hope for the series. Events have been where I get the most enjoyment and feels since Chapter 6, since they retain what the first half was loved for. With the exception of the last one, there’s been none that I really hated. No to stop waffling and jump into the topic of today. 

What the event is doing in the first half interests me and I’m surprised because I just expected to get more from Ui as a character. Yes we do get more of Ui being a precious babu that I will protect like a Yachiyo, I was intrigued by what they’re doing for Felicia and how well it’s been working. I haven’t seen the second half at time of writing so this is subject to change. 

First things first let’s get to why Felicia is best girl to do this. It’s a common conflict to have someone on the team have a harder time handling the fact there’s a new person in the group. Sometimes in the case of Avatar, it goes deeper on the personal bias. We can’t have a Zuko/Katara arc cause let’s be honest, Ui is innocent when it comes to the crimes that were commited. So we have to resort to a simpler story on envy. 

Obviously we need a girl in the main cast to be...well jealous. Yachiyo and Iroha can’t due to Yachiyo’s arc already being done and Iroha’s entire personality. Tsuruno has been the first actually member and is too open and friendly for this to not be contrived. Sana has had experience in her step family being the neglected middle child but she’s not as emotionally driven by these things to do anything that could make conflict. Felicia is the most emotionally driven, brash, and immature of the cast, even more than Tsuruno. 

So making her act out and pull memory loss magic just to spite and make something harder than it needed to. Her background and age support this. From we’ve gotten about her and her family, she’s an only child. Never had anything close to an actual sibling until the Villa welcomed her home. Sana likely didn’t bother Felicia cause Tsuruno did make her and Sana feel like they were getting love and attention. Sana even comforts Felicia in the Christmas event like friend that’s a few years older. Felicia up to this point has been the team baby. A baby gremlin, but still baby. 

Ui is 2 years younger and is getting more attention from everyone, even Tsuruno who makes sure that Felicia isn’t neglected. Obviously it’s not fair to blame Ui, but it’s not fair to say Felicia is a god awful person for feeling mad. She’s in a situation that she’s never been in before and has no idea what to do. If anyone has had been a middle child, had a sibling or child in this position, or even just watched Good Luck Charlie should know that this isn’t uncommon for kids in this state to act out. 

And she actually gets some form of consequence or at the very least an intervention. Yachiyo chiding her for hurting Ui for something that she wasn’t responsible for. Tsuruno literally tackles her and drags her to the Team mom after she pulled the memory loss. Felicia isn’t even crossing a moral horizon. Felicia doesn’t want Iroha not to have her sister on the team, she just wants to make it harder cause none of what’s been happening is fair in her eyes. 

I’m interested in seeing how this gets resolved. It could be very well done, it could leave a taste that will take weeks to get rid of. Felicia is one of my top favs in this game and I do hope they don’t mess it up.

If the archer servant in the France holy grail war is chiron, chiron is going to have to deal with his 2 students while holding the brain cells again, adrien being spoiled by Patroclus and Achilles and chiron trying to teach the French baby some medical knowledge, like to have a first aid kit in his backpack. I’m just imagining that when adrien first sees Patroclus bleeding, that he gets out a bandaid to try to stop the bleeding. It doesn’t work, but the French baby is trying his best!

sdfghjkl that’s so precious 🥺 Patroclus appreciates it and will act that it’s working just to make french babu feel great! love that for them

inb4 chiron becomes a grandfather to french babu because if any of these greek gays try raising adriene, it’s going to be fully chaos
