Homophobia is funny... 2!

[verdantmeadows]

I forgot how oddly queer Baka to Test is??? Like, it's oddly progressive and the queer content, subtext, and in-your-face-text is enjoyable, even if it isn't a series about queerness and that the queerness is often part of a joke, even though it doesn't feel like it comes from homophobia

Fictional Foe List

I think the idea of Fictional Enemies is funny, and so I gathered some.

If you, reader, selfship with or just in general like any of these characters, FANTASTIC!!! I love that for you!! Please feel free to smash into my ask box and talk about them all you want! Always happy to hear from selfshippers in the same media as me!

Just know there's a hot chance my Self Insert would deck them in the face given the chance, or the other way around. Some people on this list don't like me.

I was originally gonna sort these in three categories like my crush list, but there's just not enough people on this list to do that.

Just know some of the beef listed is one sided, and some of it's mutual.

MEET THE ARTIST

P.S: The design of my *avatar* is based on the summoned avatars from an anime series named: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. Here are some examples:

They have elf ears and fluffy dog tails, and although they are normally seen in chibi form, there are some episodes where they can be seen in a more *human like* form. I really like their simplistic yet cute design and so, I made my own!! 🤗🤗🤗

My Review of My Stepmom’s Daughter is my Ex

How…?!

How do I live with myself? It’s not easy. You have to throw away your shame and remind yourself that you’re only human, you survived worse, and that you are trash. I’m sure it’ll be tame like Marmalade Boy and at most there’ll be a kiss scene halfway down the…

She’s half-naked on the couch and he’s on top of her. I think this is faster than Domestic Girlfriend.

Mizuto Irido is in an unconventional predicament. His father remarried! That’s not the crazy part though. With the addition of a stepmother comes the addition of a step-sister. And that step-sister happens to be Mizuto’s ex-girlfriend from middle school, Yume Ayai (now Irido). Neither Mizuto nor Yume are digging this new setup. For starters, their prior relationship ended badly so neither one looks upon the other favorably. But both are going to put up a happy face to not upset their parents.

While they put up a happy face around their parents, everywhere else they get snippy with each other. And the biggest part is both of them claiming they are the older sibling. Kinda hard when both characters were born on the same day and year! But Mizuto and Yume both play mind games with each other to make the other feel inferior. Call it a poor-man’s Kaguya-sama! Okay, let’s see how these dysfunctional step-siblings mess with each other.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: This is currently airing on Crunchyroll. It’s been nearly a year and so far, no dub to come from it. I still enjoyed myself hearing people like Hiro Shimono and Miyu Tomita. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

*Mizuto is played by Hiro Shimono (known for Zenitsu on Demon Slayer, Connie on Attack on Titan, Dabi on My Hero Academia, Aoba on Durarara, Syo on UtaPri, Akihisa on Baka and Test, and Hiro on Ef: a tale of memories)

*Yume is played by Rina Hidaka (known for Filo on Shield Hero, Silica on SAO, Last Order on Railgun, Ririchiyo on Inu x Boku SS, Kohane on xxxHOLiC, Nemesis on To Love Ru, and Yamai on Komi-san)

SHIPPING: Mizuto and Yume had a prior relationship during their middle school years, but they broke things off and had quite the bitter resentment towards each other in the aftermath. Nowadays, it feels like they have a Kaguya-sama: Love is War mind game relationship, but they’re step-siblings instead of student council members. It’s not going to sound any crazier if I say it again. They have to act normal or concede defeat and be the little brother or sister in this relationship. But we do get some naughty moments between these two including unsettling scenes with the other’s undergarment.

Now what I didn’t see coming was with this friend of Yume’s, Minami. She loves Yume so much that she is willing to marry Mizuto so she can be closer to Yume. I am not sure what to make of this and I don’t feel I have the strength to deal with her. I’m just going to tell myself that Minami will end up with that other idiot in this series. I forget his name.

And then there’s Higashira! She posed a real threat to Yume, yet Yume ends up trying to help the girl out with getting closer to Mizuto and eventually confessing to him. Did it work out for Higashira? Fuck naw! Dude has other priorities in the love department and we all know what he wants.

Now, this series does show how the main duo fell in love and fell apart. They became a couple during their middle school years with some seemingly cute moments here and there. It’s just that when school, friends, and real life interfere, things took a turn for the worst for this relationship. And watching it, kinda made me feel annoyed. I’m not taking anyone’s side in this as I feel like both Yume and Mizuto are at fault for different reasons. But I’d like to chalk this up to both of these idiots were in middle school. They’re both hella immature at that age. Though, they both do stupid stuff during high school. Then again, it’s only been a year between both times.

ENDING: Before the ending, we caught a glimpse of what went down between Yume and Mizuto during their relationship. What happened and who was the first to mess up? Actually, it went south during their final year of middle school when both were placed in separate classes. After that, Yume made new friends and Mizuto was kinda resentful towards her. Then, Yume got jealous once when Mizuto talked to another female classmate. This was followed by months and months of the two not speaking to each other resulting in an agreement of breaking up. It was obvious that BOTH OF THEM regret not speaking up during that time. It becomes very obvious that’s how Yume was during a family reunion. They both have a momentary lapse of judgment and go back in time for a few minutes.

The final episode revolved around a summer festival. This is something Yume and Mizuto have history with as they were both together for one. We get constant flashbacks of their past fling and one flash that’s thrown at us several times is Yume crying alone because she got lost and Mizuto finds her. In this episode, it goes the other way around as Mizuto hides from his family and finds something solitary. Yume finds him and she kinda makes a decision. It looks like she wants to win Mizuto over as Yume Irido instead of her past self of Yume Ayai. Yeah, they kiss. They still act like they’re the older sibling and bicker. But is there something there? We probably will never know unless we get a second season.

This was something I wasn’t expecting. I came in thinking that this was going to be as trashy as Domestic Girlfriend. I come out feeling like I watched the first 13 episodes of Marmalade Boy if it was taking lessons from Kaguya-sama. As of now, both the manga and the light novel are still in publication so there’s still more to come from Yume and Mizuto. However, the manga, light novel, and anime were mostly seen as just an okay story. That’s how I’m at with this anime. It was okay. Had some good parts. Got annoyed seeing their middle school split-up. Okay, I’m starting to sound old and bitter here. Probably because I went through something similar at a younger age and look back upon it with a thick layer of cringe. That and I’m at that age where I see this and scream, “you damn youngins, get the fuck over it”. Or something like that! Decide for yourselves if you want to sit through this series or not. It’s a short series to get through.

If you would like to watch this step-sibling/past-love anime, Crunchyroll has all of the episodes available.

S04E11: Energy Booster

Pairing: Nico x Thea from 576 Hours With You (MedTech on Duty, #2)

Prompt: Fluff Bingo - Cuddling

After a few weeks in med school, Nico concludes that med school is draining. If he was not doing it for his late father, he'd easily give this up. Pwedeng-pwede naman siyang magtrabaho bilang medtech na lang. He's licensed anyway.

Every weekend, Nico makes sure that he spends time with Thea. After his first finals week, he felt like his energy has been drained. He really wants to see Thea right now but her unit seems too far away.

Sa sobrang pagod ni Nico, kahit isang tawag lang kay Thea, napangiti na siya agad. "Hello, babe," malambing na matamlay niyang bati.

"Oh, mukhang pagod ka ah? Saan ka, babe?" pansin ni Thea.

"Nasa school pa," sagot niya sabay simangot, as if Thea could even see it.

"Date tayo?" aya nito. Bumagsak ang balikat ni Nico sa narinig niya. As much as possible, he wanted to rest right now. Baka makatulog pa siya sa labas kung itutuloy nila 'tong date na 'to.

On the other hand, Nico also wants to spend time with her. So, he requested, "Pwede bang stay-in muna tayo?"

"That's the plan, babe," Thea confirms. Napabuntong-hininga naman si Nico sa narinig. "I know you're tired. Anyway, labas ka sa main gate. Malapit na ako d'yan."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Nico sa narinig niya. "Did you bring your car?"

"Yes, babe." Kakabili lang ng pamilya ni Thea ng kotse para sa kanya. It's her parents' advance birthday gift on her 25th birthday. Since Thea had her own car, mas madalas na rin nitong napupuntahan si Nico sa Fairview.

After a few minutes, Nico saw a familiar car. The window rolls down and he sees the only person that could boost his energy. He automatically smiles at her when he sees her sweet smile. It melted all his troubles away, just like that.

Nico wasted no more time and rode on to the passenger seat. Isang ngiti lang sa kanya ni Thea, nadagdagan na agad ng ten percent ang energy niya. Thea's face softened when she saw his tired and weary face. She cupped his face and planted a kiss on his cheek. Twenty-five percent.

Since Nico was too tired to tell about his week, Thea just told him stories of her week. She told him about that one cranky patient they had at the laboratory, the influx of laboratory tests they had to perform, and one of her lab techs who has a crush with one of their co-workers in the lab. Forty percent.

Thea has always been quiet but whenever they're alone together, he's able to experience a side of hers that only he knows. It's like Thea has been keeping all these stories inside her head and she has been just waiting for someone to tell of those. He's glad that he gets to hear most of the stories she wanted to tell.

Buong biyahe nila pauwi ay nagkwento lang si Thea. Her stories were too interesting for Nico to sleep even if he was already tired. Parang nadadagdagan pa nga yung energy niya dahil doon.

Pagkarating nila sa unit ni Thea, agad na naligo si Nico para pwede na siyang magpahinga pagkatapos. After that quick shower, he's surprised to see Thea preparing his clothes and food. "Are you hungry or do you want to sleep first?"

"Aren't we going to watch your favorite series?" he asked while changing his clothes.

"E 'di ba pagod ka?"

He flashed the same smile that Thea has loved from the beginning. "Kanina pa ako nagpapahinga... simula nung nakasama kita." Thea pursed her lips, trying to stop herself from smiling. "We could cuddle while watching your show and eating what you prepared. Gawin natin sabay-sabay para mas mabilis akong makapag-recharge."

Nico climbed on the bed and waited for Thea to jump in. He got the remote and selected her favorite K-drama, Hospital Playlist. Wala na ring nagawa si Thea kung hindi ay samahan si Nico sa kama. His arms instantly snaked around her waist and quickly kissed her cheek. "Food and sleep are good sources of energy, but you're still my favorite energy booster."

Thea placed her arms around him, which brought him comfort and warmth. Aanhin pa niya ang pagkain at tulog kung yakap pa lang ni Thea, higit pa sa sapat? One hundred percent.

Fandub Eliminado 3:

Baka to Test to Shōkanjū (2)

Fecha Estimada de Estreno Original: 28 de Septiembre del 2014.

Me gusta mucho Baka to Test y esta ha sido la razón del porque he realizado múltiples fandubs de dicho anime. Aquí todavía no conocía gente que pudiera ayudarme y antes no le tenía miedo al éxito. Debería de volver a ver esa serie, chance y hago otro dub 🤔🤭.

[shirtlessanimeboy]

Akihisa and Yuji are made to clean the school pool and later they visit a public bath with their friends, from episode 6 of Baka & Test: Summon the Beasts.

[cicadangel]

and now I have to study for every single thing i've missed because of AP exams and what not...... aurrghghgh I have a calc test and an anatomy test on Thursday and I genuinely know nothing about series like I wasn't paying attention at all and then I have like 3 labs I need to finish for chemistry fuck my stupid baka life

[millennialdemon]

If this show wasn't written by a coward, Shouko's yandere trope could have been stretched to the absolute limit and this could have been the last time we see either of these characters. Maybe episodes from now we see the protagonist group walk past a TV that is airing a new report about Shouko and Yuuji being missing and no one looks at it or makes any sort of comment acknowledging it. That is one gag that might have gotten a laugh out of me.

1, 2, 4, 11, and 18 for the end of year asks? :0

Aaah thankyou Echo!!! This post might be long, please forgive me!

1. Did you add any F/Os to your list this year? Were they from new media or just a newly discovered love?

Here's every romantic F/O added to the list this year, or at least that I can remember adding this year. Years are long and my sense of time is very warped so it may not be fully accurate.

Most are from new media, or just new parts of media, like the end of the Owl House and the New Pokemon Games. The ones that are new loves from re-visits are Heracross, Smeargle, and Keckleon from Monster Mind, Mario and Luigi from Super Mario, Makarov from Fairy Tail, and Jill from The Wayward Children series.

Though Mario and Luigi are also what I consider my first F/Os, they weren't officially on the list until the movie came out, so I'm counting them in the 2023 yearly wrap.

2. Did you reconsume any of your F/Os’ source media this year? How did you feel about the rewatch/listen/read/etc?

I rewatch Assassination Classroom every year in March and it makes me cry every time. I also replay Hatoful Boyfriend and Holiday Star every December for Kazuaki and Hitori, watch Baka and Test sometime around late Summer most years to ease my seasonal depression, and rewatch Mushishi at least once a year.

Other than that, nothing super meaningful. I rewatched a few LPs of Mario games, replayed through Paper Mario myself, watched Romantic Killer again, Reread Manly Appetites every other month or so, watched The Cat Returns once or twice, played more Pokemon, Restarted Monster Mind (still haven't finished it), and skimmed the Ouran Manga at the library while waiting for them to replace the volume they're missing.

HOWever, this latest reread of Down Among the Sticks and Bones is what got me to finally put Jill on the F/O list, so that feels worth mentioning. I love that book <3

4. Was there anything on your blog that you were particularly proud of this year?

No, not really. My drawings were all very incomplete and sketchy this year with long gaps between them, and my writing really flaked off suddenly, I haven't written more than a paragraph at all this year.

I wouldn't say I'm particularly proud of them, but I did really enjoy making moodboards last month and am kind of waiting for my health to settle so I can get back to them. Making stuff for other self shippers is a lot more fun than writing/drawing for myself atm.

11. Was there new media for any of your F/Os this year? If so, what was your opinion on it?

Yes FNaF Help Wanted 2 came out and gave us New Sun Content and I LOVED IT!!!!! He's such a bitch!!!! A shit!!! A snobby theater kid!!! He's so controlling and harsh I LOVE him <3 So happy to know more about him honestly and that he's not all UwU Caregiver that the fandom made him. I like soft characters, but he's a HORROR character he needs to be a little fucked up!!

18. Did you have a favorite trend in the selfship community from the past year?

I'll be honest, I don't pay much attention to what other people in the selfship community are doing. I follow the tags but if there's like a popular trend thing going around, I miss it every time.

My LEAST favorite right now though is the whole "Stolen from an Anti" thing. I have no qualms about stealing posts it's whatever, but I hate when it's says that in text at the bottom of the post. Just tag it as such so I can filter it please

Diagnosis

Hi readers,

Now playing: Danny's Song

Sunday 2/19/2023

A day after my endoscopy procedure. Findings? Laryngeal polyps a.k.a. vocal cord polyps (bukol) at too-tight na tonsils. Not so alarming nor deadly ngayon but later on, it may, if lumaki ang bukol. In my case, di pa naman raw ganon kalaki dahil kung malaki na masyado 'yun if ever, baka raw di na ako nakakapagsalita at nakakahinga nang maayos ngayon. Buti naman hindi pa ganoon kalaki. 11k ang nagastos sa endoscopy procedure which lasted for almost 5-10 mins lang. then doctor's fee na 3500, then meds (steroids + for my acid) na halos 50+ each ang halaga kada tablet. Buti nalang nagamit ko ang PhilHealth ko, kasi kung hindi, talagang di kami tutuloy ni mama sa procedure.

Next step ko after the diagnosis ay nasa sa akin na - ipapasurgery ko para matanggal kung kailan ako ready. Magdecide raw ako at ieendorse ako ng endo ko sa general operation/surgery kasi major surgery raw ang gagawin sa case ko. Kung need ng immediate action? Hindi naman raw, at di pa naman ganoon kalaki at nakakapagsalita pa ako kahit papaano, although paos talaga kahit speaking voice ko. Cancerous? Hindi pa raw masasabi ng endo ko not unless ipagalaw ko na mismo yung bukol. Pero cancerous or not, need talaga ipatanggal. Risks/complications after surgery? Ang risks ay hindi raw sigurado o 100% sure na maibabalik sa dati ang range, pitch ng boses ko, kung raspy pa rin ba after, o biglang mababago na entirely ang boses. Another risk ay since major surgery at open mouth ang procedure at hindi sa neck, syempre ang tendency ay baka magalaw ang ibang gland/part ng lalamunan na malapit sa vocal cord, at pwedeng madamage iyon. Another risk ay baka nga nagdedevelop na yung polyps into something bigger at baka may iba nang part sa lalamunan na madali at magswell o magasgas.

Realizations? Siguro ay alagaan lang ang boses kahit bata pa. Sa case ko naman, hindi ko kasi nacontrol ang boses ko simula nung nag college ako at teaching pa ang kinuha kong course, na obviously, nagdedemand talaga na magsalita nang magsalita. Baka dahil doon.

What-ifs? Siguro ang tanging what-if ko lang ay what-if di ako nag-education nung college, na hindi ko naman talaga nakikita ang sarili kong masaya up until now kasi medyo lost pa ako sa pathway ko. Imagine, I was supposed to be deployed na sa public school this year 2023, at due to a series of unfortunate events, kagaya ng initial medical sa DepEd kung saan ako scnreen bago ko magstart sa DepEd ay napansin ng doctor doon yung early symptoms ng thyroid problems, hence got requested to have my thyroid checked (TSH, TT3, TT4, FT3, FT4 + ECG + thyroid ultrasound) all to find out na normal ang results, tapos sa vocal cord ko pala talaga ang problema. Siguro, itong mga instances na 'to ay sinadya talaga akong i-lead sa mismong sakit ko, which is yung vocal cords ko na may bukol na pala. Okay na rin na nangyari ang mga ito, na hindi ako natuloy sa DepEd dahil kung natuloy man ako, di ko rin siguro maibibigay 'yung best abilities ko para sa mga students ko lalo na in terms of communication, at baka mas lalo pang lumala 'yung vocal cord problems ko kung masstrain ko nang masstrain ang boses ko.

Still, thankful ako sa pamilya ko at kay J. Mula sa day 1 ng bloodtests kong paulit-ulit para sa possible thyroid problems na hindi naman pala talaga thyroid, sa pabalik-balik ko with J at mama sa diagnostic labs kahit mahal ang mga tests para lang malaman ang sakit ko. Sa kuya kong binayaran at babayaran pa (surgery, if ever makapagdecide na ako at buo na loob ko), never ako nakarinig ng reklamo o sama ng loob sa kanya. Bigay lang siya nang bigay dahil alam niyang para naman sa kalusugan iyon. Kahit ilang balik ako sa ospital, clinic, bili ng gamot, lahat, suportado niya. At siya pa ang nagsabi sakin agad na ipatanggal ko na kung ang pinproblema ko lang ay pera. Sobrang salamat sa buhay ng kuya ko.

Salamat rin sa mama ko na sana ay kasama ko na rin ngayon sa DepEd at co-teachers na dapat kami kaso dahil sa nangyari nga sa akin ay hindi na muna. Alam kong excited na excited siyang maging ganap na guro na ako sa public, pero alam niya ring importante ang kalusugan. Pahinga raw muna ako at ayos lang raw iyon. Salamat po sa buhay ng mama ko. Higit niyo pa pong pakahabaan ang buhay ni Mama at ng mga mahal ko sa buhay, kahit umikli na po ang akin, basta po sila ay mas mahaba pa ang buhay dahil marami pa po silang dapat maranasan na magagandang bagay sa buhay, Panginoon.

Salamat kay J sa pagsama sa akin, pagsagot muna sa medical bills at tests kapag nashshort ako on the spot, kahit puyat siya sa work dahil night-shift siya at usually ay tanghali ang schedule ko lagi sa hospital, talagang sinasamahan niya ako. Salamat po sa buhay niya, Panginoon.

Sa mga kapatid kong bagamat hirap rin sa pag-aaral, sa pagiging gipit ni mama minsan sa mga baon at expenses nila ay natitiiis nila at naiintindihan nila ang sitwasyon namin ngayong may pinagdadaanan ako. Salamat sa pagkakaroon ng mga mababait at mauunawaing mga kapatid, Panginoon.

At sa mga aso ko, Pichi, Oreo, Bingo, Cielo, Jacky, at ang mga pusang kinupkop kong mula sa pagiging malnourished ay mataba na ngayon, maraming salamat po sa mga malulusog nilang buhay. Mahal ko po sila at sila po ang nagbibigay rin ng kulay sa buhay ko kahit na nadodown ako palagi, isang yakap lang sa kanila ay talagang gumagaan ang loob ko. Sana'y habaan pa po ninyo ang buhay nila, Panginoon.

Salamat, Panginoon, bagamat di ako palagiang nalapit sa inyo at naging huwad ako at di lubos na kumakausap sa inyo, at kapag may problema lang ako nalapit, ay di niyo pa rin ako pinapabayaan. Ang dami kong pagkukulang, kahinaan ng loob, at reklamo, pero hindi niyo ako tinalikuran, bagkus ay tinanggap niyo pa rin ako, at alam kong mahal niyo kami ng pamilya ko, Panginoon. Maraming salamat po. Lalo na kapag humihingi ako ng 'signs' sa inyo sa mga dasal ko, ay talagang pinapakita niyo iyon.

Huling hiling ko lang po ay ang Papa ko. Sana po ay magbago na siya at magkaroon ng inspirasyon at direksyon sa buhay para magsumikap pa. 50 na ang papa ko ngayong taon at mahal ko ang papa ko kahit ganon ang ginawa niya sa amin. Sana ay hilumin niyo ang puso niya at tulungan siyang magkaroon ng tapang at tatag ng loob para magbagong-buhay habang di pa huli ang lahat. Babawi rin ako sa kanya.

At sa lola ko po, sana ay habaan niyo pa po ang kaniyang buhay. 74 na po siya ngayon at malakas pa rin talagang tunay. Bagamat marami rin siyang pagkukulang sa mga anak niya, sa mga byenan, lalo sa kalinga sa mga apo, naging lola pa rin siya sa amin, at matatakbuhan namin kapag kami'y walang wala. Mahal namin si Lola Mila. Sana ay humaba pa ang buhay niya at babawi pa ako sa kanya. Maraming salamat, Panginoon.

Salamat, Lord. Maraming salamat!
