#3rd year high schooler

[velvet-ymarinebloo77]

[inkymari]

Now hear me out, , , ,

[midnightshindig]

Single Mama! Reader with Cecil or Donald headcanons, pretty please. I’ll give you my prized Pokémon book for it.

Donald and Cecil x SingleMom!Reader

oh my god i read this as sigma while scrolling through requests and had an aneurysm I'm so fucking brain rotted

anyways- Cecil and Donal are separate hcs, sorry if these are sort of short!

hcs under the cut!

Cecil

Cecil is ambivalent and distant

he's not against you having a kid, but he doesn't know what to do with it

"Want a beer?" "HES FOUR" type shit

For the most part he treats your kid as cordially as possible.

If they're an elementary schooler, he might try and bribe them into liking him with toys

If they're more like a middle or high schooler, however, he treats them with respect

Cecil over her shaking some fourteen year olds hand like "I promise my intentions with your mother are good, I'm a good man and she's a great woman."

like oh my god just stooooop

but they lowkey kind of love it? Like, he's so aloof and weird, your kid(s) adore him

It's a very parallel-play type of thing

Cecil and you will be watching a movie and your kid will come downstairs and sit on the other side of the couch, casually reading a book or playing their 3ds or something

If your kid is interested in government or safety, Cecil will happily take them under his wing

You come back from the bathroom to find Cecil explaining calculus to your high schooler

or explaining the concept of government to your eight year old, who is happily absorbing it all like a sponge

He keeps it age appropriate

Cecil has a LOT of resources

So when he wants to take you out, you've got your pick of the best babysitters in the world

It's usually Donald ngl

sometimes, though, a teenage superhero will volunteer to babysit for some extra cash

So Eve-- or, more accurately-- Rex and Rae-- come over to babysit.

(ignore season three for these purposes- stfu it's cute)

And Cecil takes you out on the town

being a single mom means you have a hard time getting to be just Y/n, not Y/n the mom

Cecil makes sure you know how special you are

Corny ass man probably takes you swing dancing or something

Red Lobster type mf

I'm kidding he takes you to a very nice dinner

and buys an extra dessert for your kid <3

Donald

BIG nerd

Your kid like pokemon? Oh he's studying up rn to impress them

Because of this Donald's at work reading Warrior Cats and Cecil is like "Donald what the fuck is that?"

"Oh- My girlfriend's kid is really into this serious, I want to make a good impression."

"A grown man having warrior cats knowledge is terrifying, Donald."

psshhh whatever Donald doesn't care.

Tries to win over your kid by showing off his robotic features (once he gets used to it himself)

WILL take your kid to the park with you as a date

I hc Donald probably doesn't have too much in the way of his own family, so he's charmed by yours

Donald likes to take your kid(s) with you on dates

Group family dates if you will

So you all go to the movies, or maybe to dinner every now and again, stuff like that

But he makes time for just you don't you worry.

Type of dude to throw your kids in the air.

he's just casually available and emotionally supportive

ALSO teaches your children stuff, but more like history or lower level math

I have the very specific image in my head of your 3rd/4th grader coming home crying because her school is doing a daddy daughter dance and like.... she doesn't have a dad? What is she going to do?

You offer her to bring her uncle, or maybe she could bring you?

Donald comes back from the store with groceries for dinner and your daughter lights up

"I want Donald to take me!"

"Hm?" he puts the bags down to high five your daughter hello "Take you to what, kid?"

You sighed, leaning awkwardly against the kitchen counter "She's having a daddy daughter dance at school- Honey, why don't you take your uncle?"

Donalds eyes widen and he has to hold back a wobbly smile "No it's okay! I'll take her." Oh fuck it, dude is smiling

Ugh i'm a wreck he's so sweet

He's not trying to replace their dad or anything

like literally "not the step dad he's the dad who stepped up"

[the-one-that-weeps]

Honestly I feel like the hate the current wxs events are getting for "being too boring" comes exclusively from the fact people only care about said unit. And also the fact you guys need to be spoon-fed angst because you use the characters solely as angst dolls but that's a conversation for another time.

"Wxs is so boring" okay. Check out vbs, they just achieved their #1 dream! Their story couldn't be more hype right now! Haruka just became mmj's manager! Don't even get me started on whatever the hell happened in Saki5! Cheer for them too!

The pjsk units were never meant to be enjoyed as individual pieces. We have 5 stories to follow for a reason. There's nothing bad about being a wxs oshi, there's nothing bad about wanting things to spice up a little but GIVE THEM A BREAK!

We've just gotten back from 3rd Anni. If you recall, Project Sekai's 1 year events weren't very action packed either. Give them a little breather before the pace picks up and try to enjoy it.

And please, cut the guys some slack. They're silly little high schoolers, they don't need to suffer every day for your indulgence. You have ao3 for that.

Signs I missed that I was aroallo

Just some puzzle pieces my dumbass never put together:

1. Thinking I was a lesbian periodically throughout 10+ years because I knew in my heart I didn't experience romantic attraction to men, so I figured "I must feel this way for women then." The thought of ending up in a long-term monogamous relationship with a man felt suffocating, but knowing in my heart that I was physically/sexually attracted to men (I'm bi), I would just come to the conclusion of "I must just want attention or I'm romanticizing lesbianism." Yes I knew what aromanticism was, but never thought it was an option somehow??

2. Often overthinking the essence/meaning of romantic relationships, trying to understand why they're treated so differently from platonic ones in society

3. Having a fascination with media (especially music) about casual sexual relationships, or about sexual relationships with care and affection but not romance. Rocky Horror had me in a chokehold, I wanted to be Columbia so bad. See my aroallo playlist

4. As a bisexual, not feeling satisfied by the feeling of settling down with either gender: in relationships with women, I'd wish on a certain level that I was with a man, but vice versa for my straight relationships.

5. Along with #4: REALLY resonating with a video by Alayna Joy, talking about how she realized she was a lesbian rather than bi, where she explains "this sense of mourning that my life had just happened to go in a direction where I was going to marry a man." YES HELLO?!?

6. All my crushes were based on appearance, not personality. They were almost all DESPITE the personality. "Benjamin you're so fucking stupid" vibes

7. Daydreams about romance, whether general or related to a specific crush, were always in 3rd person and focused on how the relationship would look to other people in my life, rather than what I would actually get out of the relationship. For example, I would picture stuff like giving a speech at my own wedding.

8. Man I really was the "I hate my bf" final boss

9. Feeling really lost in long-term relationships, and having a just-barely-sub-conscious feeling that "well I have platonic feelings for them, and I have sexual feelings for them, so if I combine those two feelings like some sort of potion maybe that's almost good enough?" Wow I was sooooo close to getting it

10. When partners would send me long romantic texts I couldn't believe that anyone *actually* felt that way. I thought it was kinda just this thing that we all pretended we felt

11. Whenever I became a partner's #1 priority, I had a LOT of negative emotions about it. Definitely guilt and sadness that I didn't really feel the same way. Also anger: I knew I was supposed to feel like "oh my god I'm so happy I'm special to them" but I really just felt like "I'M the #1 thing going for you..?... get a life"

12. In high school, when my bf would take our relationship really seriously, I would think "damn chill we're just high schoolers why do you have these big adult emotions" and then beyond hs, I started to think stuff like "damn you're doin too much you're acting like we're high schoolers"

Anyways uh you can be aromantic if you want to!! And alloromantics can avoid dating like the plague if they want to!! Nothing is real man it's gonna be okay I promise

[project-sekai-facts]

How old are the Virtual Singers?

Depends on the Sekai. Like with vocaloid music every version is a different interpretation of the character with different personality/age/etc.

In School Sekai they’re all high schoolers. The Kagamines are 1st years (16), Miku is a 2nd year (17), and Kaito, Meiko, and Luka are 3rd years (18). You can work it out based on how they and Leoneed refer to each other.

In Stage Sekai their ages are more vague, but again Kaito/Meiko/Luka are meant to be a bit older. The ages in this Sekai probably range from teens-20s.

In Street Sekai again Kaito/Meiko/Luka are older, but seem older than in the other Sekai, especially since Meiko is based off of Ken who is in his 40s (I’m not saying she’s exactly his age, but she acts as a motherly figure to VBS a lot of the time). Miku is treated as the same age range as VBS based on how they refer to her, and the Kagamines act a bit younger, so they’re probably close-ish to their official age of 14.

Wonderland Sekai is also pretty vague. Kaito says he thinks Miku is younger than Emu (16 at the time), and Emu refers to Kaito as an older brother figure and Meiko and Luka as older sister figures (on JP she calls them Kaito-onii-san and Meiko/Luka-onee-san), but that’s about it.

Empty Sekai is probably the most vague. Len acts younger in this Sekai and the artists dress him in younger-looking clothes in cards on purpose. Miku is derived a bit from Mafuyu, and was created as an emotional support for her, so she’s probably somewhere around her age (though I think she could be read as younger as well). I read Kaito/Meiko/Luka as a bit older again but I think it depends on the person tbh.

Ultimately aside from School Sekai you can’t pinpoint their exact ages and it’s entirely up to interpretation.

@the-depths-of-the-coral-sea and I made the PjSK Info Card (pre 3rd Anni) into an oc template!

It's two separate layers, for ease with the Clipping Layer tools.

Font used was Arial, btw. Yes, the second layer is just a sheet of white, not much I can do about that. It's how the background of the old info page was. Below the cut are details about things I've seen confusion on from a picture of someone who made a version of this in their custom profile.

The periwinkle on the far left is where the image of the OC goes.

The light blue box is where you put a few sentences about the OV (example from Emu's current info card in game: A bundle of energy and innocence. Emu dreams of carrying the torch for her grandfather's theme park, Phoenix Wonderland, and was prepared to part ways with the rest of WonderlandsXShowtime as they pursued their own dreams.) ((that isn't all but you get the idea))

The Height usually is in cm, heightcomparison . com can help you get the height in cm (ignore decimals, round down)

Only put the Month and day, in that order (so March 2nd would be written as 03/02)

School Year means First, Second or 3rd year of high school. If you're doing a middle schooler oc, specify that in the School part, as from what I've read, middle school only has 3 years as well.

VA would be voice claims for OC's. EX: someone using Markiplier as a voice claim would put Mark Fishbach there.

[imdead770]

I love the one you did for Steve, could you do a best friends to lovers for Johnny too?

Johnny Cade x Reader - Childhood Friends

Authors Note - Why are there so many requests for childhood friends?? Not complaining though, keep requesting Enjoy!

▪︎ I think Johnny was pretty shy as a kid

▪︎ Didn't raise his hand, rarely spoke, the one kid teachers would say to 'talk louder' when he read to the class

▪︎ You met whenever the teacher rearranged the seating chart in 3rd grade

▪︎ You were either

A) Super social

Or

B) Just like him

▪︎ If you're super social it worked out flawlessly

▪︎ You answered questions for Johnny

"Can you answer this one, Johnny?"

"..27.5..?"

"What was that?"

"Oh, he said 27.5. He's right."

▪︎ Probably got you in trouble a few times

▪︎ "I'm the teacher of this class!"

▪︎ "Let him talk for himself!"

▪︎ He was eternally grateful for it, though

▪︎ You helped him come out of his shell

▪︎ If you were quiet you two would have an unspoken bond

▪︎ Like you barely talk but you're best friends

▪︎ You have the same problems as him so he relates to you

▪︎ Either way, you two bonded

▪︎ By middle school you were still helping him out

▪︎ I think by now he had the gang

▪︎ But say the gang was off doing their own thing, you'd bring him into your friend group

▪︎ Again, eternally grateful

▪︎ Another thing he's grateful for, you always stood up for him to the socs

▪︎ Whether you're a soc or a grease, you always told them to fuck off

▪︎ You beat some girls ass some time because she called Johnny a pathetic quiet kid with no friends

▪︎ She had to get nose surgery

▪︎ 💀

▪︎ You tell him all the gossip (if you're into that)

▪︎ Like he has blackmail on everyone because of you

▪︎ By high-school he still looks like a middle schooler

▪︎ He's kind of jealous of how you matured so fast

▪︎ Like here he is looking like a 13 year old

▪︎ You're over here looking like you could be on the cover of vogue

▪︎ You helped him see he's lucky, though

"Johnny, when we're 70 years old, I'm gonna look like a pile of ashes and you're gonna like 20."

▪︎ You would've said 'plus you look cute', but you didn't want to ruin the friendship

▪︎ He comes to your house instead of the lot

▪︎ Sometthing about you comforts him

▪︎ Maybe because you're the only one in his life who can calm him down

▪︎ Remember that one time he got jumped?

▪︎ Once he got found by the gang he immediately wanted you

▪︎ He knows the gang couldn't comfort him

▪︎ Sure they'd try, but you could help him

▪︎ Two-Bit hauled him on over to your place

"Heyy, Tw-.. Johnny, what the fuck..?"

▪︎ Even though the gang was really worried they couldn't help but give each other the look

▪︎ The 'ooh she likes him too' look

▪︎ Only for a second though, the next they were helping you patch him up

▪︎ You were holding him, trying to calm him down

▪︎ Which surprisingly somewhat worked

▪︎ He wasn't trembling anymore, just a bit shaky

▪︎ Now that he looks back on it that's the moment he fell head over heels for you

▪︎ Nobody's ever cared for him like that

▪︎ Not Dal, not the gang, not his parents

▪︎ Nobody could calm him down like that

▪︎ He was way more grateful than he was in 3rd grade

▪︎ Now that the jumping has passed

▪︎ He's a bit more awkward around you

▪︎ Just a bit

▪︎ Cause he's literally in love with you

▪︎ And you're like

'Shit, was I too clingy? God, he hates me'

▪︎ Completely clueless he's liked you since you first stood up for him in elementary

▪︎ I don't think Johnny would ever tell you

▪︎ He can't do feelings, he's been hurt too much

▪︎ Eventually Dal has had enough of it

▪︎ Sometime he finally remembers to talk to you

"Listin', ya gawta tell Johnny cake 'bout you crush. Neither of ya' are slick, get it ova' wit."

▪︎ Accurate New York accent right there

▪︎ I think, I don't know

▪︎ Anyways, back on topic

▪︎ I'm going with the social character here

▪︎ Sorry introverts

▪︎ Eventually you finally get the guts to tell him

▪︎ It's one of the nights you're in your room together, casually sitting together, talking

▪︎ He's mid sentence, but if you wait you'll loose your sudden burst of confidence

"Hey, Johnnycake?"

"So-... Yeah?"

"Yknow I care for you a lot, yeah?"

▪︎ He's already blushing

"Uh.. yeah"

"What if I said I like you?"

▪︎ Pure silence

▪︎ He's blushing his ass off

▪︎ Eventually he gets out the words stuck in his throat

"Like.. like like?"

"Yeah.. like that."

▪︎ Couldn't even speak

▪︎ He's too flustered

▪︎ But at the same time he's super happy

▪︎ But it's still awkward

".. I like ya' too."

"Yeah?"

"..Yeah."

▪︎ It didn't end with some romantic kiss, he's not ready for that

▪︎ You both just smiled at each other

"Mkay.. so, what were you saying about Steve?"

▪︎ He's still blushing, processing

▪︎ Smiling.

"I got no idea."

Satoru's POV

Looking back now, Satoru thinks perhaps he wasn't prepared for the whirlwind that is Itadori Yuji. The boy came into his life all of a sudden, through a series of events that almost seemed like everything was purely coincidental.

Somersaulting not only his logic but also his heart. The heart that he thought had grown cold from years of neglect. From years of unfeeling and putting the lid on any growing feelings, nipping them in the bud, once melancholy and attachment had begun to claw in his heart.

It all started after Yuji had lived with him in his basement for 2 months. Back then, they fell into habits of sharing personal space together, be it on the sofa watching reruns, training, sometimes sleeping arrangements, and of course having breakfast and dinner together.

It was admittedly, a huge adjusment for Satoru, who had moved out of the dorms 10 years ago and lived alone. But as usual, he was the best at masking any of his true feelings from showing on the surface, and before he knew it, he enjoyed Yuji's company, a lot. And ofc, the delicious fresh homemade meals Yuji cooked for them both.

After 10 years of living alone, it was also the first time again that he had to actually shared food with anyone.

When he was little and lived at the Gojo's residence, he mostly ate alone bcs his parents were always busy, or didn't bother enough to spend time to eat together with their only son when they were at home. Yes, Satoru was spoiled rotten as a kid, and that spoiling came as he could eat anything he wanted, he just needed to name the food, and it would be served to him on silver platter, with rows of maids and butlers watching him from the side.

The only time he would share was when his Grandfather came to visit, which was a rare occurrence.

At primary and middle school, he spent more time private schooling then went to the school, and on the days he did show up at school, he would eat his lunch brought from home prepared by his personal chef and ate it alone on his desk.

Even when he lived in the dorms, he still didn't really share his meals. Back then his sweet tooth had become so abhorren (as he could eat freely w/o his butlers' nagging), that none of his friends would even consciously share the food and snacks he ate, unless it was for pranks .

Even during movie nights, Suguru would just taste the snacks he offered out of courtesy, picking very little and excused it with his low appetites. Shoko never even tried to hid her disgust, before swiftly taking out her cigarette. Nanami and Haibara would just politely refused.

When he turned legal age and started drinking, his choice of drinks was always different than Nanami, Shoko, and others.

So there was never a need for Gojo Satoru to ever share his too-sweet meals with anyone.

Anyone but Yuji.

Because Yuji is different.

Because, after Yuji went back to the dorms and Gojo was back to treating his students to a hearty meal after missions and hard training, Yuji was the only one who always ordered the same food and beverage as he did.

Always shoving the menu first into him, fighting off Nobara's eager hands to order first, saying, "Sensei get to order first!" ignoring Nobara's annoyed grumbles, then turned to him smiling brightly and wouldn't give up until Satoru picked one, then when the waiters came to their table, he would be the only one ordering the exact same things Satoru chose.

When it first happened, he just dismissing it as a gesture of respect toward an elder. Yuji was, after all, a kind boy with a good and straightforward upbringing.

When it happened the 2nd and 3rd time, Satoru just thought it was, perhaps, Yuji didn't really know what to order, bcs it was the first time he came to such a fancy restaurant.

It wasn't the first time he found out that Yuji hadn't done or tried a lot of things a normal high-schooler at his age would've tried at least several times, like Megumi, for example.

So whenever he opens a bag of sweets or other snacks and Yuji, with his big bright round eyes, staring hopefully at his hands, almost looked as if he was about to drool, so Satoru couldn't help but smile back then offer what was on his hands to him till Yuji happily munching on them Satoru just thought that Yuji just happened to have the same taste as him and was a big eater to boot. It was nice to have another sweet tooth around that finally can appreciate his tastebuds, after always being mocked around by Suguru and Shoko for years back then.

Since then, whenever Satoru bought food or snacks for himself before going home after mission, he'd buy another package for Yuji, then bring them to the dorms to drop them with the boy.

It happened for several weeks, and Yuji was always delighted to receive them until at one point, Satoru started to notice the change in his expression, the forced smile when Satoru showed up at his door, bringing a box of cake at midnight.

Until one day he saw the box of limited edition Godiva chocolate box he gave to Yuji the other night was being devoured by Nobara and Maki the next day during training.

The bag of zunda mocchi package he sent to Yuji's room yesterday via a courier service was being munched by Toge and Panda in front of him, looking definitely untouched before it was opened by the boys.

Satoru who felt slightly slighted, then stomped to Yuji's room after class, coming inside the room w/o knocking, and catching the owner of the room off guard when he tried to shove all the food and snacks Satoru gave him over a week ago (previously scattered all over the room) under the bed, and looking very much panicked and guilty, eyes everywhere but on Satoru when he demanded why he didn't eat it himself and instead gave him to others.

"I thought Yuji liked them. It's not nice giving away what others gave to you, you know."

"T-that's not it, Sensei,"

"If Yuji wants to share, I'll buy them for Nobara, Megumi, and your senpai too, but they never like what I ate before. Only Yuji likes sweet the way I do."

"..."

Megumi, who was somehow there as well, just clicked his tongue, "Just tell him the truth, Itadori. Before you make us all getting cavities for eating all of those sweets so they won't go to waste."

"Ugh..."

"So Yuji doesn't like them after all, why didn't you just say so?"

"It's not that! I-I like them, I really do!"

"And I really appreciate that Sensei always buy me your favorite food..."

"But?" Satoru just wanted an answer.

"..."

And they lapsed into silence for a while until Megumi couldn't hold back anymore.

"Look here, Gojo-sensei..."

"Fu-fushiguro, wait-"

"Gojo-sensei, what Yuji likes and wants to do is actually to share the food with you, not just eat the same things as you do, y'know Yuji doesn't even like sweets that much...you know why?"

Yuji: "!"

[iiyanadesu]

One thing in Beyond kinda intrigued me and made me pull out all my personal Digimon notes, esp. related to Tri.

Iori introduced himself as a high schooler.

But we see here that most of the others have significantly grown up, some even with more developed jawlines, longer hair, and all that. That's why the idea of it happening in between Kizuna and 02TB is not plausible.

The below is my personal theory, to be taken with a grain of salt.

Ever since 02TB I started taking notes on Tri. I used to hate Tri, but the actual reason was the treatment for the 02 kids. So watching 02TB gave me ideas on what could have happened to them in Tri.

Among the findings that I learned in Tri is that, in episode 1 or 2 I don't remember, Koshiro pointed out 8 odd things about the Kuwagamon attack on real world. One of them is that, "Digital gates had been closed for over a year".

This point should not be something weird, because (1) the year was 2005, doesn't it mean it was closed since 2004 or sometime before that? How could they not notice? (2) taken into consideration the last battle before Tri started was Diaboromon Strikes Back in 2003, did all Digidestined stop actively going to Digital World after that? (3) The only known Digivice to be able to open gates now that the D-2 that the Adventure 8 have kinda malfunctioned idek, is the D-3 Digivice.

And there's also the fact that nobody seemed to care why the 02 kids were not in the picture at all. Too many people theorized that the reason could be the result of a higher being tampering with memories of the people around the 02 kids.

I find this idea odd.

However high a deity in Digimon World is, I don't think it's possible for them to tamper the memories of the Adventure 8 in real life, because ultimately Digital World is the result of human invention - computers, digital programs and digital network. So there must be another reason why the Adventure 8 acted like the 02 kids' disappearance was something normal until Digimon Kaiser appeared. Something that is easier to explain, but have the same devastating result when it turned out the 02 kids were kidnapped.

My idea: the 02 kids went to an international student exchange program of some sort, a fake one to isolate them from the Adventure 8. The "Digital World investigation mission" was a deliberate trap by whoever behind this "exchange program" (among them are Himekawa and maybe also Nishijima). Original duration for this isolation was for about 1 year, but whoever worked there made efforts to let the parents and friends know of their "well-being" via fake letters or emails (unsure of Japanese communication trends between 2003-2005). So the Adventure 8 did not suspect anything bad happening to them until Digimon Kaiser attacked. This could also explain how only Himekawa & Nishijima knew of the 02 kids going MIA and not tell the Adventure 8.

That's the basic idea I had. What's important is the fact that the Digital Gates were closed for over a year. And since the Tri epilogue told us that the 02 kids took about 3 months to recover from their induced coma and go back to school (which is a long time including rehab), meaning they could have been there for a long time too. Like, say, a year or two.

These years they were gone, they missed school. So.

(notes copypasta'd below)

Timeline, age, and school grades:

2002 (Digimon 02): Daisuke, Ken, Hikari, Takeru (11, 5th grade), Miyako (12, 6th grade), Iori (9, 3rd grade)

2003 (Diaboromon Strikes Back): Daisuke, Ken, Hikari, Takeru (12, 6th grade), Miyako (13, middle 1st grade), Iori (10, 4th grade)

2004: let's say the 02 kids are gone here. Daisuke, Ken (13, supposed to be middle 1st grade, missing), Hikari & Takeru (13, middle 1st grade), Miyako (14, supposed to be middle 2nd grade, missing), Iori (11, supposed to be 5th grade, missing)

The 02 kids didn't have to go missing at the start of the year, but they could have been gone sometime before June 2004, a year before Tri events started.

2006: Daisuke & Ken (15, back to school, middle 1st grade), Hikari & Takeru (15, middle 3rd grade), Miyako (16, back to school, middle 2nd grade), Iori (13, back to school, gets to continue to middle 1st grade? Or maybe he'd insist to finish elementary at 5th grade).

2005 (Tri): Daisuke & Ken (14, missing), Hikari & Takeru (14, middle 2nd grade), Miyako (15, missing), Iori (12, missing)

They were found after the Tri events (still haven't finished rewatching to pinpoint the time), and took 3 months to recover.

2007: Daisuke & Ken (16, middle 2nd grade), Hikari & Takeru (16, high 1st year), Miyako (17, middle 3rd grade), Iori (14, middle 2nd grade or elementary 6th grade)

2008: Daisuke & Ken (17, middle 3rd year), Hikari & Takeru (17, high 2nd year), Miyako (18, high 1st year), Iori (15, middle 3rd grade / middle 1st grade)

2009: Daisuke & Ken (18, high 1st year), Hikari & Takeru (18, high 3rd year), Miyako (19, high 2nd year), Iori (16, high 1st year / middle 2nd grade)

2010 (Kizuna): Daisuke & Ken (19, high 2nd year), Hikari & Takeru (19, college), Miyako (20, high 3rd year), Iori (17, high 2nd year / middle 3rd year)

Something is odd in here. In some Kizuna merchandises Iori wore school uniform, while Daisuke, Ken, and Miyako did not despite them supposed to be still in high school. Did Kizuna event happen during school holiday? Was Iori wearing uniform because of tuition / extra classes / cram school? Hmm. Need to rewatch Kizuna.

2011: Daisuke & Ken (20, high 3rd year), Hikari & Takeru (20, college), Miyako (21, college?), Iori (18, high 3rd year / high 1st year)

2012 (02TB): Daisuke & Ken (21, college?), Hikari & Takeru (21, work?), Miyako (22, college / work?), Iori (19, work? / high 2nd year). (02TB events happened in February, while Japanese school year starts in April. This means during 02TB Iori is probably either in final months in high school 1st year, or last leg of high school 3rd year. If he's busy af in February while still in high school 1st year, it seems like he's an active member of the school committee / club.)

In Beyond PV, Iori says he's a high schooler. But at this point Daisuke & Ken have grown more and have more developed jawlines. Ken even grew his hair - hair that long from his 02TB cut should take about 1 year to grow. So if we take Iori's claim at face value, it's very possible that Iori is in his 3rd year, and the year is 2013.

This must mean that Iori continued school after the kidnapping in Tri at 5th grade.

Based on how the characters are dressed (all of them wearing long sleeves and jackets), the Beyond events might be happening during autumn nearing winter.

Cold Seat | L.Hughes

Warnings: none again. Fluff asf

Pairing: Luke Hughes x fem!reader

a/n: lowkey a blurb. This is basically based in a high school setting more then anything. Specifically my high school. The whole Friday night hockey games where all the high schoolers sit at the very end of the bleachers that only take up one side of the ice. When the girls only go to hang with their friends (watch their crushes play and find them on the hockey website then add their snaps) yeah that’s how this writing piece is working. Except Luke is actually into you and not just some typical hockey boy. You aren’t official but it’s still fun for you to sit in the freezing cold for 2hrs then take a photo with him after:) Can you tell I’m speaking from personal experience?

Tonight the U18 team had their final game in which determined who won the finals. My whole high school was going. The whole town usually takes up every seat in the stands but always leaving room for the high schoolers at the end of the bleachers. Me and my friend f/n had gotten there early to grab seats, the rest of our friends not far behind us. It was just me, her and couple other students sitting down when warm up started. The most entertaining part of the game. Luke was the star player in my little home town so as soon as he stepped out everyone cheered. He didn’t pay attention to it though, he just went on with his warm up and began shooting pucks and skating in random circles.

“He’s not even the best on the team” a girl behind me says.

I choose to ignore her. The thing is Luke was actually the best in his division, he had so many offers for elsewhere but he really just wanted to stay in his home town and play with his friends.

“Please stand for the national anthem” I hear the announcer say. The announcer being Mama Hughes. Everyone stands, the boys lined up on the blue lines with their helmets off. Luke’s curly hair already sweaty from warm up. He looked down at his skates.

The game started. Luke at face off starting the game of right with a pass to one of his team mates. Nearing the end of the first period the score was still 0-0. That was until Luke made a shot and got it in. The crowd went crazy, he did a stupid bow and his teammates rushed over to him. They all hugged by the glass in front of me. He looks over his shoulder at me and gives me the cheesiest smile. I smile back. I hear the girl behind me scoff.

~

Near the end of the 3rd period we were tied with the other team at 5-5. Everyone knew if we lost this game we were just second place. There was 10 seconds left in the 3rd and everyone was nailed biting, sure over time was fine but it’s not the best. All of a sudden Luke is shooting down the ice making a break away and pulls his stick back making a wrist shot. The puck flies straight down the ice and right past the goalies glove into the net right as the buzzer goes. The arena goes wild. I look across the ice to see all the boys jumping over boards and onto the ice to congratulate the team. Me and all the other students are all screaming, I’m hugging my friends with tears in my eyes. I look down the bleachers towards the penalty boxes and the announcers boxes, I see Ellen waving me over. As soon as step in the box she gives me a big hug.

“They won!” She screams.

“I know!!!” I scream back. “Now we don’t have to deal with Luke’s cranky butt all night”

“Exactly what I thought!” She exclaims.

I look at the ice and notice all the stick, helmets, and gloves scattered across the ice as the boys continue congratulating each other. Mr. Hughes giving Luke a tight hug. Since it was Luke’s senior year the moment was bitter sweet. A bored member brings the banner out to the team and they take a big photo.

“Would Luke Hughes, number 43, please make his way to the penalty box” I hear over the intercom. I look at Ellen who’s speaking into the mic. She shoots me a smile. “There’s someone very special over here who wants to see you”

Ellen opens the gate for me to step on the ice. Luke skating full speed towards me. He picks me up and spins me around while still on the ice.

“Guess what!” He says to me.

“What?!”

“We won!” He says, again with a big cheesy smile.

“I know!” I say with a squeaky voice.

He leans down and places a kiss on my forehead.

“Hey captain!” I hear one of his coaches yell from across the ice. “I gotta get a photo with you”

“I’ll be right back” he says while letting go of my hand.

When he comes back he brings the banner with and says we need a photo, Ellen steps out to capture it. Then we get one without the banner. Before the last photo he leans into my ear and whispers… “I love you”. A smile creeps onto my face as Ellen captures another photo, totally oblivious to what Luke whispered to me.

“I love you too” I whisper back.

<3

a/n: sorry this is short and kinda bland but I thought it was cute. wish all hockey boys were like my version of Luke.

[liillyliilly]

im fine i say. im fine. im just thinking about middle schooler and high schooler kita shinsuke who didn't get a jersey. he didn't have a jersey until his 3rd year and final year of high school. and he was also named captain the same time he got his first jersey. im just thinking about how he cried when he had earned his place because the coaches saw his continued, dedicated, loving focus and care for volleyball. im fine.

HIIIIIIIIIII WE HAVENT TALKED IN A WHILE HRU

WHICH HYPERFIXATION ARE YOU ON NOW HUH 👀

AND WOULD YOU REC?

HIIIIIII, I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL YESTERDAY AND I'M IN EXAMS SEASON SO I'M NOT DOING GREAT, HRU???

Girl, you just opened a big bag of worms cause this hyperfixation has taken over the other like 4 that were in my mind at the same time (one of them since January).

There are just a few things I have to warn you about the show before I throw my words at you: there is blood and violence, they do not shy from that; there is physical abuse mentioned and shown (although it's just shown in one scene, if that's the only thing bothering you but you wanna watch I can tell you when to skip); there is cursing, nothing major just what a high schooler would normally curse; abusive relationships and bullies are subjects that are heavily spoken about; death, don't know if that's a trigger but better safe that sorry and I'm pretty sure that's it

First, I have to ask you two questions:

Do you like supernatural stuff?

Do you like gays?

If the answer to both of them is yes, then you need to watch dead boy detectives. It's a series about two ghosts (Edwin Payne- "the brains", spent 70 years in hell, sassy little bitch, from London 1916 and speaks like it, gay, a fucking nerd, somehow everyone is in love with him except his crush (more like the crush doesn't know that he is in love with him, but whatever), so much trauma it's insane, tumblr's favourite; Charles Rowland- said crush, "the brawns", so bisexual but doesn't know it yet, do you know that character that is so charismatic and funny but actually has so much fucking trauma? That's him, daddy issues (because of abuse), from 1989, has a magical bag, so fucking british, so fucking protective of his friends it's insaneee like he will kill someone for them) and these two ghosts are detectives and solve cases to ghosts so they can move on to the afterlife.

This show is so fucking well written, you have no idea, like Charles and Edwin's relationship is so unique, because even though there is a romantic subtext they are best friends before eveything and they know eachother so well it's so rare to see such good friendship where they are so open with eachother in media specially between men (also their ship name is painland, if that's not enough reason to watch the show idk what is).

Another great example of the amazing writing is that characters like Charles normally have their trauma super overlooked, but in this show his trauma is treated so well, there is still a lot to work from it (reason 484837 why I need a season 2) but the other characters actually see his trauma and acknowledge it, it's so fucking satisfying to me because these type of characters are always my favourites but they always have that lack of development (I sometimes confuse between my mutuals who likes what but I'm pretty sure you have read hoo so you know Leo Valdez? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about).

Speaking of development, they do not leave characters behind. There is this character called Niko Sasaki, who is this girl who loves anime and loves love and is always so positive and so sweet and always thinking of others. Now, when someone describes this type of character, my first reaction is "oh, so she's just the comedic relief who is going to have a shallow ass personality" (no shade to that type of characters, shade to the writers who leave them behind), BUT SHE'S NOT. She also has her traumas (dead dad, literally almost dies, more shit that I don't wanna spoil) and they acknowledge it and they develop her. She may not be one of the main focuses of season 1 (I'm pretty sure if we get a season 2, she's gonna have more screen time because of... [spoilers]) but she still has some character development, in the 3rd episode they are solving a pretty brutal case and she says that she doesn't want to be part of it because she litterally almost died the previous week and it's totally okay, she stays at home watching scooby doo and eating noodles, again so fucking satisfying.

Since we're talking about Niko, I have to talk about the dynamics of this show because OMG THE DYNAMICS OF THIS SHOW. Like, you look at the way I described Niko and the way I described the boys and you would think that they would focus on Niko and Charles relationship, right? The two charismatic kids, makes sense. Wrong, it's actually Niko and Edwin's. At first, you're like "you're gonna pair Mr. Horrible at relationships with other people and hates physical touch with Ms. Loves love and hugs fucking everyone?" BUY IT WORKS, IT WORKS SO GODDAMN WELL, IT'S INSANE, they easily became my favourite dynamic of all times, it's so fucking good. Actually, Charles and Niko is the only dynamic that isn't really developed in this show (which is a crime honestly, how could they).

Another thing is that there is one (1) antagonist out of four who isn't likeable. And that fucker is litterally Crystal's abusive demon ex (I've realised now that I haven't talked about my queen yet, she's a bitch, she's a physic, she's fucking badass, she doesn't know who she is until the 8th episode (not in a philosophical way, she litterally loses her memory) and her dynamic with Edwin is fucking hilarious, it's an on going competion of who gets to be the bitcher). There is a witch who is immortal, kidnaps young girls to feed to her snake and has an obsession with getting revenge on the boys and Crystal (they hadn't met Niko when they confronted her for the first time), but she serves cunt everytime she's on screen and she's so hilarious, you love to hate her and deep down you also love her. There is a cat king who is the reason Crystal, Edwin and Charles get stuck in the town they spend the season (they live in London, the town is somewhere on the US coast, technically it's just Edwin who is stuck, but they're all ride or die) all because he wants to fuck Edwin but Edwin doesn't, but his hilarious and annoying in a funny way and a loser and a simp. There is a woman from the afterlife office who spends the whole season trying to catch the boys (who are running away from death, it's a whole thing), fails and ends up stuck with them, I just got mad at her when she interrupted a love confession, but we got it later so it's fine. Then there's David the demon (yes, that's his name, yes, that's hilarious) who is Crystal's abusive ex, is able to get inside her mind whenever he wants and is just so fucking annoying (but is such a great simbol of abusive relationships and how much they scare you even after it's over).

Also, no one, and I mean no one, in this fucking show is straight, whether it is confirmed or not it doesn't matter (although 4 of the nine recurent characters are canonically queer).

Don't know if you heard about it, but this is from the same universe as the show The Sandman and there are two cameos in this show (both Death and Despair get a scene).

There are two things that weren't perfect in this show: the fact that Charles and Niko got one (1) scene together (fucking crime) and the CGI, not that it's all bad it's just they focused on the more visual scenes that make you go uuhh and aaahhh but there is a roof where they sometimes talk where the CGI is so bad, but it's just background shit, do not decide not to watch because of it the only scenes like that are the roof scenes and a scene in the forest (again, background shit).

I did just spend around an hour writing all of this, you are not gonna read this whole ass essay, but just watch the show, it's on illegal sites Netflix (although if you have Netflix, put it, even if it's just background noise, we need the views, this is Netflix and a not that cheap queer show we're talking about)

Nostalgia for any time after 9/11/01 is invalid. MTV was already bad, malls were already dying, gaming was on its way to being the over-monetized corporate mess it is now, most of the music was vapid and created by a bunch of 30 and 40 year olds with the emotional intelligence of high schoolers. It's all shit since it's all post-Reagan anyway, but at least 90s nostalgia longs for a time when shit was legitimately better for the average citizen as far as cost of living. When I see nostalgia for the 00s and 10s all I can think about is 9/11, the Patriot Act, the 20-year-long wars, the descent into thoughtless nationalism, all the good stores closing and the most definitive loss of 3rd places we've had since prohibition, the 2008 collapse of the housing market, and the complete disassembly of any quality of life for the working class. Wish for better things, people.
