Helloo ribbon are ya okay? ~ @envelopesofbadluck

Ribbon spoke, wrapped in a bundle of blankets in bed, sniffling. His voice was more nasally than usual. "yes, I've just been... sick."

in the spirit of the new year, how do you think the gang would have celebrated new year’s in Blackwater? Personally I think Sean got drunk as hell and tried to kiss every person in camp.

Oh god. Twice the drinking. Twice as wild. I definitely think Sean is the #1 instigator for every party, keeping up the energy the entirety of NYE (yes even in the morning). Asking around for resolutions and hopes and dreams and getting a little too physical as always. Which of course exhausted the gang hours before it even hit midnight. But still, they managed.

Arthur I feel is very fickle under the drink— his tipsy little soft spot especially coming out in the position of a new year. I think for most of it, he's 100% down, absolutely BELTING along with the rest of the gang, but as soon as he's away from it, and that bout of sobriety hits he just... sits there. Overcome with some sort of bittersweet melancholy, as he usually is. Despite this "sit and dissociate and think about the year" ritual, and much to his own gruffness, he's willingly sappy enough to round up a few members, if not all, at some point in the evening, to just talk about the times they've shared, and the more to come.

Charles has only been there for a couple months by then. He chooses to enjoy the party from afar, although much closer than his pretty much nonexistent presence at Sean's party. He's not one for superstitious behavior, maybe more sentimental, one of those times he feels he should just connect for the sake of it, even if it sounds a little silly. He tries not to linger too much on the emotional aspect, maybe just opting to wish for good luck this year and leave it at that.

It's not really a rant post from me without butting in the Charthur narrative. I think the very famous "Arthur tracks down Charles during a party to give him a beer and they start flirting awkwardly" trope is actually a rather habitual thing for them, and it'd definitely make sense for that little dance to start in Blackwater (it doesn't make sense but whatever you say). Arthur notices him lingering just enough to look a little intrigued to join. Strides over and demands he relish in the warmth of their little family (it's the middle of winter!), and the light of a new year.

Dutch, being the ringleader, starts the countdown. I think most joined in, even the particularly grumpy and tense members (Bill, for one). Maybe a few exceptions being Micah. And Micah. And maybe Hosea! But that's just because he's too busy having his heart-warmed, watching everyone get together, and thinking on how fast time has gone.

Correct me if I am wrong, please, but I believe fireworks were surprisingly available back then. Did 1800s folk shoot fireworks for new years? They do now I suppose. If not I'm sure their hootin' and hollerin' is loud enough to be a load of fireworks.

As tradition Arthur and John take turns every year to light the fireworks they scrounged up enough funds to get (steal). This one is Arthur's; he waves bye to Charles, and the old guard sets out a good bit away from camp for the entirety of it to view the show.

Anywho. Overall, I don't think they'd be too superstitious. Especially since an odd amount of traditions include a house, which I'm not sure they had in Blackwater. Mostly just a bunch of cheering till they feel like their manifesting and wishes and thanks for a great year have resonated all the way across the state.

This is something I just noticed, but there is 100% a shift in the way Kuko is drawn lately and I think its because of ARB (namely the halloween one), but Kuko's neckline is WAY lower than it used to be. Like if you compare his original PNG with the newest CD art as well as his model for the 3rd DRB movie its lower and he's given visible cleavage. Kuubies can not be contained!

LOL canon’s finally catching up with the way everyone, and i mean that lmao his actors the games his fans who draw him, depicts him and that’s making sure you know he has 🅱️oobs

tho if you ask me???? i think the movie modeller like, wants kuukou lmao like you don’t draw kuukou like this and with that low of a neckline if you don’t desire kuukou carnally tbqh LOL

Ciri, quietly pondering to herself: ‘ Do not let him know how awkward you are. ‘

Roche: Nice weather.

Ciri: Oh, thanks—. . . What?

You know what, I can totally see Ciri falling for this guy

I mean I know nothing about his personality or skills, but he has a motorcycle. I approve of this Witcher x final fantasy ship! Maybe. Idk. Like I said I literally know nothing about him and I refuse to do more than an image search. Anyway he looks like he’d be awkward too! I don’t write for either of those fandoms, so I’m not taking that as a prompt.

Ribbon discreetly hides it within his book that's of Misfortune.

~*~ Before the war, it wasn't uncommon that the small fifth seat of the Gobantai was out late. Her mind had struggled with quieting down before. Nowadays, it was worse. She hadn't been able to sleep through the night in so long that it was all too apparent. Even her late night walks didn't help wear her down enough.

She knew she wasn't the only one that was still hurting from what happened. There had been too many of their numbers lost in horrific ways. Those who survived hadn't made it through unscathed. It took a toll on the entirety of the Gotei.

Kaisa left her quarters in the Fifth Division. She'd been unable to fall asleep with her own memories of the war playing each time her eyelids closed. The young soul walked, not stopping and not going anywhere in particular. Eventually, she realized she'd ended up just outside of the Ichibantai. Her feet unintentionally brought her there, a place she'd only been in to deliver paperwork once in a great while.

Her dazed self lifted her left hand and placed it against the wall to the entrance. Haunted emerald eyes were unfocused, and her shoddily cut curls were a mess.

"It looks almost the same... but everything was broken..." she murmured about herself and the Gotei as a whole.

Jokes aside, with German delivery services, you literally need to guard the door because they will do everything they can to avoid delivering to you. They’ll leave a note saying, "Oh, sowwy :( we couldn't reach you (we didn't even ring the fucking bell). You can pick up this 20 kg box that you specifically asked to be delivered to your door at the package station, which is 1 km away from you, with no convenient transportation means. <3 Have a good day! And hey, you can skip leg and arm workouts the next time you go to the gym!"

Tracking Service, as helpfully as possible: Your order is out for delivery! It should arrive by 8 PM today!

Me, sitting by the door at 8:12 AM: pakige

And acting like only trans men or men who are otherwise queer can be safe like this is wrong! Every single man on the planet has the ability to behave in a way that makes him safe to be around, it's just a matter of whether or not he chooses to behave that way. And there *are* cishet men who are safe to be around and it's not only wrong but honestly cruel to pretend there aren't. It's a disservice to people of all genders.

hey guys we can all agree its like, incredibly sad and fucked up when a trans man feels like he has to apologize for being a man, right. like even jokingly. it’s very concerning that people have created an environment where a trans person is expected to be apologetic about their identity, right.
