Listen, sometimes in life you’ve just gotta ignore canon, and even certain headcanons/AUs you don’t like or agree with and come up with your own/a version of the thing you like. As a form of self-care. This is a moral I live by, I think anyone who knows me knows at this point.
But for all that is good and decent in the world, you still absolutely need to be respectful towards others, even if what they made does not gel with you, personally. Especially if they’re the original creator(s) of the original, canon work.

So, Rise Mikey is one of the few Mikeys to not have a cat, right?
And Rise Mikey also had this fire demon thing in his Kusari-fundo, right? And I saw this headcannon (which I stole from "Change of perspective") that Mikey still has it in like a lantern or something even after his Kusari-fundo breaks, which is a head cannon I really like.
So, my brain put two and two together and thought, "What if...it was the cat?"

hi! this is my small, gentle reminder that you don’t have to be like other people. I know the best parts of other people are beautiful and exciting and just so cool, but you don’t need to be everything. it’s okay not to be as good at watercolor as your sister or not give good advice like your mom does and it’s okay to love qualities in other people. sometimes other people’s words or their idiosyncrasies or the way they part their hair is so wonderful that you want to join, you want to feel the way about yourself, about the not-as-great parts of yourself that you do about the best parts of them. and it’s okay if you start listening to The Killers because it’s your brother’s favorite band or if you decide you want to get red converse like the ones your best friend has. but it’s okay if you can’t “keep up” with their grades or will never be able to do eyeliner as well as they can or maybe it seems like they just love life more than you do. I just want you to know that there are unattainable parts of you too. you can like things about other people that you don’t have, and you don’t have to give a compliment thinking god I wish I was like that. you don’t have to be like that. it’s okay to just be the things you are. you don’t have to be everything.

HI I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE JACK/BRICK AGENDA ????
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OKAY ok so first off the subtle intimacy of jack knowing every single way that hockey (particularly in the 80s before a lot of safely measures were implemented) has worn down and damaged brick’s body and bringing it up every time a new safety measure is put into place (“the first thing I thought of when I saw that curved glass was that your shoulder would work just right if they had that when you were playing!” JACK PLEASE)
and of course like the understanding jack has about the nature of sports and the bodies they affect, the way a dirty hit broke his leg and destroy his division 1 soccer career before it could ever go anywhere like he gets it
the fact that they both went to UNH but jack graduated right when brick became a freshmen so I think for the most part they like JUST missed each other (although if I ever uncover any WGIR recordings of jack calling wildcats games I WILL lose my mind. I don’t have a clear idea of the timelines on that though so stay tuned on that one lol) BUT THEY WERE FATED TO RETURN TO EACH OTHER. the gravitational pull of fate.
and like the chemistry between them was so instant and strong!!!! I’ve watched some 2006 games before jack was full time w nesn and it was dale arnold alongside brick and I swear, all respect to him, but lord the lack of chemistry between him and brick is sooooo palpable. especially when compared to what a natural pair he is w jack they like instantly made each other sparkle. their chemistry is so good it makes people's jobs easier. they ARE flawless together
jack never failing to seize the opportunity to lavish brick with praise about how smart and handsome he is and also laugh at anything even close to witty that he says. literally everyone needs someone to love them like jack loves brick.
I saw an article where brick was talking about how he was just happy to be able to play in the nhl even if he considered himself to be ‘mr irrelevant’, mostly flying under the radar. meanwhile jack NEVER misses an opportunity to tell him how amazing a player he was, how strategic and how deeply he understands the game.
the way they are both so obsessed with the game and all of its facets it’s like… really there isn’t anything more comforting than finding someone else who gets it, who understands what it means to have a singular focus on something and also have the exact same focus hhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
the way if you put a pic of brick in front of him, jack literally can’t help himself from immediately being like ‘there’s my partner!!!!!!’ with more love in his heart than I’ve ever felt about anything
the absolute home they’ve made w each other of nesn...as a true Sold Together Do Not Separate. I DO NOT say lightly that I will be even more devastated when one or both of them retire than I was when bergy retired, they really are the blood pumping through the veins of my game watching experience

Not everything that gets 2000 + notes is always better than something that has less than 200. I've found some of my fave Merlin posts ever here that don't have hundreds upon hundreds of notes, whether they're gifs or meta or art etc and often they feel like I've found some treasure in a dragons lair that those of us who care to look for find and basically I just deeply appreciate everyone who shares their gifs and thoughts whether you're a 'popular' blog or not and I hope someday my gifs will be as god tier lol and notes mean absolutely squat because if a post makes you feel something and that persons creation has touched you in some way, then thats already enough, thats already what art and creativity in all forms is supposed to do.

Ok ok I haven't posted anything this week 'cause it's been a mess :D
It's Easter and we always get the whole family together on Sunday, so I spent the week running errands with my mom to get everything ready.
Plus, today it's my birthday and we took the day to watch John Wick 4 (my beloved, I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about it and Keanu Reeves) aaaaand...
Yours truly got a banoffee waffle - the banaffle - with loads of dulce de leche and, guess what, banana ice cream.
Yes, it's my fave ice cream. I gave that to the main character on Leon's fic 'cause I wanted something different and had no idea what... And it became their nickname. Trust me, banana ice cream is the best 🖤
I will answer to all the comments on the fics either still today or tomorrow! Also, I'll post another chapter of Survivor's Blood because it's already done, on Nemesis I regret to say we'll have to wait a bit ^^"
Oh and yes! That's a moustache! The diner we go since I was a little kid is called Joakin's and the symbol is a big ol' moustache!! I got a moustache cookie today and I've never been so happy, it's wonderful 🖤
Hope you guys have a great weekend and great holidays depending on what you celebrate - and if you don't celebrate, just a great weekend overall ;)

I'm just peeking into the Tegan tag for the first time but BUTCH? BUTCH? This Karen of justice, this mark-the-hallways-with-your-lipstick, this badass, take no shit and also cry in the corner airplane-special-interest flight attendant running through the galaxy on high heels and blood red nail polish? This is the best flaming rose femme with teeth and issues tm representation I've ever seen. I'm sorry to tell you but in the eighties lots of women had short hair.

not to be that person, but this is so utena-coded. i wonder if ikuhara ever read audre lorde:
When we live outside ourselves, and by that I mean on external directives only rather than from our internal knowledge and needs, when we live away from those erotic guides from within ourselves, then our lives are limited by external and alien forms, and we conform to the needs of a structure that is not based on human need, let alone an individual's. But when we begin to live from within outward, in touch with the power of the erotic within ourselves, and allowing that power to inform and illuminate our actions upon the world around us, then we begin to be responsible to ourselves in the deepest sense. For as we begin to recognize our deepest feelings, we begin to give up, of necessity, being satisfied with suffering and self-negation, and with the numbness which so often seems like their only alternative in our society. Our acts against oppression become integral with self, motivated and empowered from within.
-- Uses of the Erotic: Erotic as Power by Audre Lorde
