WRITING!

[clumsyraccoon]

Just finished Arcane and...damn what a wild, beautiful ride <3

Also, I want to be perceived like a shadow entity with glowing gold eyes as well

[clumsyraccoon]

Just finished the series "This world can't take me down" (Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo) by Zerocalcare and damn, now I have the mighty need of buying all his comics and complete my collection.

[clumsyraccoon]

Compulsively bought a scrapbooking kit to start a journal about writing/art (been inspired by the amazing people around me), but...I have no fucking idea how to do it :')

[clumsyraccoon]

This morning at work I was thinking about Kusakabe and his relationships with students, and especially with Hakari. I picture Hakari as one of those really good and smart, but also just driven by his own motivations student (the one that gets the "he's smart, but doesn't apply himself" from the teachers), and it's something that drives Kusakabe mad most of the times. Yes, he became a teacher because it was less dangerous, but also because I think he's good at it and with his teaching he found out that he can be usefull and help his students with his knowledge. I think Kusakabe wants to prepare them at the best of his possibilities and skills: he may be not be as powerfull and strong as Gojo and Nanami, but he can still teach valuable and important things to the next generations of sorcerers. I think their relationship would be kinda conflicting most of the times, but in a "healthy" way: I picture Kusakabe as a good judge of character and the patient teacher that, instead of a direct clash, would try his way to understand and get in tune with Hakari.

(Making a post because I wrote it in some tags but I realised that maybe it was not the best choice)

Ehi everyone! Hope you’re all having a good day 😊 I wanted to apologise for (kinda) coming back, but not being very “social” (especially on discord): inspiration and passion are slowly coming back (yay!), but at the same time social anxiety skyrocketed at levels I haven’t seen in ages. I want to try and take things step by step because I don’t want to repeat past mistakes, so I'll probably be more on the lurk side of things atm. ^^''

Coming back to life after a week of sadness and an addiction with Golden Kamuy and gooosh I really loved reading it. Liked basically every character, story and pace were perfect, and the art (especially landscapes and animals) was stunning! Some of the things in the ending left me a but "meh", but overall a very good reading! Probably gonna re-read it at some point, because as per usual I gobbled down all the chapters without breathing XD

I aspire to be like Laios Tounden one day

[clumsyraccoon]

reading Kaku’s wiki page to dust all the info about him and apparently he’s a living lie detector (he can tell if someone’s lying by cheking the pulse) and I’m here thinking about the implications of it.

Hiii Coony! I should come into your ask box more often >:3c

For the AU mash up thing, if you're still in the mood for them - 10 & 42 with Kusakabe? <3

Hi Lale, thank you for sending in! ❤️

Airport/Travel AU + The Big Damn Kiss + Kusakabe

Kusakabe isn't sure if Ijichi being sick is more of a blessing or a curse. All he knows is that he is currently sitting behind the steering wheel trying to make conversation, while accompanying you to the airport.

Of course he wants to spend all the time he can manage with you (especially if there are little to no people around), but now that he is actually alone with you? Apparently all his bravado jumped out the window the moment he turned the engine on.

But the drive proceeds smoothly, the chatting being light and relaxed, and you arrive at the destination, his confidence almost completely back. Almost.

He helps you unload your baggage from the trunk and escorts you inside the building, the excuse of keeping you company 'till it's time for you to check in. A coffee, a pastry, one little visit to the toilet, and a lazy and mostly uninterested stroll inside the shops. All while trying to convince himself that he can do it, he can do it!

The security checks queues are closer and closer, until you both come to an halt just a few meters from them. You turn around to thank him and you're about to say goodbye when something inside of him clicks: he can do it.

He does it.

Eyes fixated on your lips, he slighlty lowers his head, waiting for your reaction...and when he catches you closing your eyes and parting your lips expectantly, he nullifies the small distance in an heartbeat.

He's doing it. You're doing it.

At last.

Kusakabe with bookshop au and grief fic? 👀

Fanfiction trope MASH-UP

Thank you for the ask Bas! ❤️

Bookshop AU + grief fic + Kusakabe

Reading and literature have always been a family interest: your grandmother passed the passion down to your father, and him passed it down to you. You all have always been avid readers and book have always been integral part of your life, trips to the book store the best reward for any good grade, birthday present, anniversary.

But all of that seems meaningless now that your father is no longer with you. A year has already passed, but you haven't touched a book since: every tome bringing memories to your mind, ache to your heart, and tears to your eyes.

You're on the verge to give up on it when one day you casually find yourself in front of a little bookshop you've never noticed before: the exterior is quite anonymous, no details nor sign giving up its nature, if not for the name of the place, "Hazy Moon Novels". However, what really catch your attention are two hairy forearms gently placing a rare, illustrated edition of your father's favourite book in the shop window.

And maybe, the rough around the edges yet kind-hearted owner is the right person to help you heal find your love again, in its various meanings...

Kusakabe doesn't have a particular taste in music, he can listen to almost anything: from pop to classical, from jazz to folk. As long as he puts him in a good mood, everything is fine.

He is, however, a fan of good movies, both Japanese and international. Probably hates blockbusters, especially those series that have like a dozen titles: he likes good stories, be it sad, happy, romantic or advenuorous. (So no Human Earthworm for him XD)

Rewatching JJK from the beginning and man it really hits differently 😭

[clumsyraccoon]

First Dungeon Meshi, now Golden Kamuy...why do I have to become hungry while reading manga? 😂

[clumsyraccoon]

The hysterical image that popped up in my head when I thought about Drake (233 cm - 7'7½") being a sub to my OC (155 cm - 5′1") :’)
