I finished posting the unabashedly educational Sword Fic.

It includes a detailed (but hopefully beginner-friendly) explanation of all the steps of making a Nichirin blade from a sunny mountain like Mt. Youkou, a touch of swordsmith and metalworker folk lore (including demons), meta about what must make Kimetsu no Yaiba's swordsmithing methods different from real life methods, some character exploration for Haganezuka and his polishing method, vocabulary and additional resources in the chapter notes, and hopefully, an endearing, silly POV character to learn this all through.

THIS FRAME GOES SO FUCKING HARD HOLY SHIT

THEY ARE BOTH THE CONSUMED AND THE CONSUMER. AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. THEY'RE CUTTING OUT THE MIDDLEMEN OF OTHER ANIMALS AND PLANTS TO EAT AND BE EATEN BY. LIVING IS INHERENTLY SELF-CANNIBALISTIC. AWSJDKFHSHDFDSKJGARWHAAGRWAFHAEGAGH

after taking the smallest mini break away from my phone because talking to my old college friend got me so down with how judgmental she was about me being a reader insert fic writer and reminding myself l don’t need that type of self centered and negative energy in my life & I just wanna enjoy having fun with y’all

I dont know if you saw but Isane got her shikai’s abilities confirmed!! Its a ice/healing zanpakuto, so shes joined the “snow/ice but technically not snow/ice zanpakuto” club with Rukia

I was not aware of this, and when I first got this ask, I assumed you were referring to yesterday's new episode. I spent a few minutes being very confused.

I eventually figured it was a Klub Outside thing, and it took me forever to track it down, but I finally did:

Q: What are the abilities of Isane Kotetsu’s Zanpakuto, Itegumo? Since she’s a member of Squad 4, I imagine they’re healing related. Kubo: It’s an ice-snow type with healing properties.

I mean, I guess it's nice to have it confirmed, but there's not really any new information there. I mean, its name translates to something like "freeze cloud" and she's in Squad 4. It would have been way more interesting if it wasn't (or if he'd bothered to be even the least bit of detail.) I suppose one could be optimistic and hope that he's saving the reveal for the Hell Arc (along with Iba's, whom we don't even have a name for) but I think it's more likely that he just hasn't put that much thought into it. I unironically love the way Kubo will sometimes plot out every member of Ichigo's homeroom class by hairdo, and then people will ask him this kind of stuff about actual captains and he just does big shrug arms.

Also, I've said this before, but personally, I find it a little sloppy of Kubo to end the series with three out of thirteen captains being ice users, even if he did take some care to differentiate them. Then again, there are also three captains with Dramatic Stage Magic-type zanpakutou, so maybe this sort of clumping is just a thing that happens from time to time.

Alright, it’s late and I’ve read a lot of delicious fics today. I’ve also finished rereading my vamp!levi fic in preparation of picking up writing the next chapter!

I feel accomplished. Someone praise me. 😌

Just small info idk if anyone will notice but I'm taking a break from TSP :] I am so grateful to Tales from Borderlands as the game got me to once again make fanarts, read fanfics and want to create my own. First comes real life and I do hope to return as I have many unfinished projects to hopefully finish or ones to start but, we will see

thinking about ye hyunwoo again. chapter 621

[things-methinks]

"Hassan!" I called. "Come back with it!"

He was already turning the street corner, his rubber boots kicking up snow. He stopped, turned. He cupped his hands around his mouth. "For you a thousand times over!" he said. Then he smiled his Hassan smile and disappeared around the corner.

This is why I love your posts. The sandwich. THE SANDWICH. I knew it was a sign on reconcillation between them--But I failed to realize how him eating the sandwich with the syrup in is also symbolic of how he is finally letting Marcille (who is a sweet person) in.

You make me realize stuff about Ryoko Kui's work and make me love it more. Because platonic or not, that is canon and intentional no doubt considering the detail the aithor puts in their work!♡♡♡

THE SANDWICH, THE FRICKING SANDWICH, I KNOW RIGHT!! The bicorn chapter. THE BICORN CHAPTER I STG. I love it so much, it really is the climax of their arc together. I keep alluding to it latelu but I think you’ll like the analysis I’m working on rn finally properly dissecting their complementary character arcs. Btw funnily enough I myself only remembered about the sandwich/realized what it meant when reading a russian marchil fic lol 🫶 I looove how "This sweetness in my meal isn’t what I expected but it isn’t so bad, shouldn’t have looked down upon the idea" is the final metaphorical comment of the chapter and thus their arc I looove how the sweetness is optimism, it’s nice things happening in his life and him being surprised pikachu face about it, it’s like Puckpatti and Marcille taking on life with a glass half full approach, and I love how it’s also her. Kui is genuinely such a storytelling genius.

You know, sometimes I wonder like "Ok but did Kui intend marchil, on some level maybe perhaps………. Nahhhh, pshhh, haha." And then I remember how him liking blondes is apparently important and relevant (bc Kui keeps emphasizing on it) and how he sees her as if she has anime sparkles around her hair as per his shapeshifter of her, and I remember- UGH I remember like all the marchil crumbs ever and how narratively important they were to each other and all the times he risked his life for her specifically and blushed and teased (my god he has a blushing tsundere Marcille surrounded with sparkles in his head of what he thinks happens when he teases her my GOD). I’m like, Kui did you know what you were doing. KUI. KUI IS HE CANONICALLY ATTRACTED TO HER. IS THERE SOMETHING THERE.

THE BICORN CHAPTER RAAAAAH.
