Hanging out with Haruka time! I love her so much!!

Hanging out with Haruka is always a highlight in this games, I don't trust anyone who doesn't like this mechanic

Like look at her! She's my baby I'll do anything for her! (except playing mahjong, sorry but learning how golf was enough. I feel like a middle aged rich man)

She's actually better at bowling than Nishiki lol (let's be honest, anyone is). Can you imagine Kiryu taking 8 kids bowling? I definitely can, what a chaotic night. Throw Daigo and Majima in there and you can call it family night <3

Why are you scared? I did it first try!

This girl is developing a gambling problem and Kiryu doesn't have enough functioning neurons to realize it. He probably thinks it's normal because of his life, even though I don't think he's that much of a gambler.

Quite embarrassing but I had to get the keys that I was missing... Obviously they were the ones in adult places ugh I'm sorry you had to see Kiryu walking into that DVD store Haruka!

I love them so so much! They are both very caring yet both refuse to ask for help until it is completely necessary. This game has a lot of that "I MUST do this alone" Kiryu mentality. I'm not a big fan (neither was majima or date or rikiya or nakahara or any of the children in morning glory or…)

Oh no she's caching Kiryu's furrow. I think they look kind of similar here, that's cute. Kiryu is ready to break legs and crack some skulls and so am I lol

Such a good dad :(((

Let me add a few things here from substories (I'm sick of that couple)

They looove a good gossip they are so funny. Again, very similar reaction, cute.

The way he looks at her!!! I've been using the word love a lot but he really really loves her so so much. She's his light, his reason to live… well maybe not that, Kiryu is pretty self destructing, let's be honest.

She's the reason he keeps trying and that's enough for now

Yakuza 3 has changed my life forever, byeee

Anyway, I adore their relationship, can't wait to see them in the next game <3 At the same time, haruka's growing up so fast… make it stop please :'((

[roe-and-memory]

besties can i just say omg so i went thru ur blog obsessively bc i looove the ideas behind ur headcannons and little snipets of stories. i was wondering what bobby headcannons u guys have. also memory i loove ur writing and roe?? gorgeous fanart oml

AWWWWW THANK YOUU!!! rhis is so sweet 😭🫶🫶 i saw your comment on my fic thank u sm

im gonna be honest, we dont have many bobby hcs (i really wanna change that, i fucking ADORE bobby - and, if its any help, i actually have a fic up ((dont look back in anger)) where he’s a main character!! although its an au, i hope it’ll suffice for now :3)

- bobby is definitely a prankster, but like, hes NOTORIOUS for it. and not in the bad way. he has silly pranks that only mildly inconvenience the person on the receiving end (like the dumping water on lmq and cals heads after races) and he’s Always at the scene of the crime when something silly happens. he just Is the embodiment of silly. and yes i know this is canon for the most part but hes literally just so silly i cant not include it

- hes the youngest of the trio, the baby, even, he’s a december baby, born in 1988 (same year as lightning - cal is an ‘87 baby i believe - so when bobby started racing in 2007 he was still 18) but just at the End, whereas lightning was born in may . despite this he’s still the tallest, and probably the most well built of the three . aka lightning is scrawny and cal is just Average. and when lightning makes fun of him for being a Baby hes like ok well ure literally short as hell. what about that. huh? what can you do about your height? i’ll have a birthday but you dont have a get taller day? huh? and lightnings like. well. okay.

- i feel like he befriended cal first, like, he and lightning “hated” each other but it was less hate and more lightning being incapable of making friends (lmq and cal met at the infield care center after strips crash, so they were friends ever since then) and so cal was just in the middle of this “rivalry” that was in reality like. hey. cal. i think that bobby guy is really cool do u think he’d wanna be my friend. and cals like I DONT KNOW TALK TO HIM? and they talk and theyre like wow i actually thought u hated me (theyre best friends now)

- bobby both has an iconic autograph, but hes also so good with his fans its impossible for anyone to hate him. he has so many iconic pictures and literally everyone he meets praises him for his kindness and blatant silliness . hes just super easy going and generally amazing to be around

- out of all the racers hes probably got the most amusing advertisements as well, he will go ALL IN for whatever octane gain (or his smaller/secondary sponsors) want from him, and its so Genuine it just feels like he LOVES to be there

- he loves taylor swift. AND I KNOW WHAT YOURE GONNA SAY. “ITS STEREOTYPICAL” BUT NO U DONT GET IT.. SHE DOESNT MATCH THE REST OF HIS MUSIC TASTE AT ALL. hes the last person you’d ever expect to listen to her. he says its because they have the same last name so hes obligated to be a fan, but also the day Taylor Swift (album) debuted he bought the dvd and forced the other two to listen to the entire thing multiple times on a road trip and its safe to say that since the day taylor swift has existed, lightning and cal have feared her album release dates.

- hes the burnout king. every race he wins he will do a burnout down the frontstretch in front of the grandstands that will take his tires down to the RIMS. the tire marbles are INSANE

THIS IS ALL I HAVE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY 😭😭 i wish i had more and i WILL eventually make more trust me on that.. but thank you so much for the ask and i hope u liked them :3

[jpg-of-dorian-slay]

hiiii helloooo basil my lovely <3 i'm sorry 2 hear youre not feeling too well -- sending over a basket full of dvds + the most delicious soup + blankets etc <3<3<3 ALSO!!! would looove 2 hear about jesper!!!! my sister has been once again telling me abt her fav six of crows characters + feel as though i need 2 become more well versed in this particular character hehehe :)) okay MWAH xx

MWAH !! HELLO THEA MY LOVE <3 <3 <3 cherishing the dvds+soup+blankets and also this ask because asking about jesper and/or any of the crows is truly the way to my heart <3 also your sister has wonderful choice in characters lmao

favorite thing about them

he cares so much. like he is so so lovely he cares so deeply about all of his friends even when they sometimes don't deserve it (looking at you, kaz) and even when he doesn't care for himself. i think it's an under looked aspect of his character honestly.

least favorite thing about them

his self destructive tendancies, like that quote at the start of chapter 11 or 12 ish where it goes "jesper was always happier when people were shooting at him. if he was focused on not dying, he didn't have time to think about anything else" WHICH IS JUST??? TRAGIC??? i love him so much. like i love it as a character trait but it seriously makes me just ache for him

favorite line

"you're stupid about a lot of things wylan, but you're not stupid" genuinely changed me as a person, i will never be the same.

brOTP

jesper and inej. no question. their relationship is so so so important to meeeee.

OTP

wesper <3 <3 <3 forever and always <3 <3 <3

nOTP

i actually don't think i have one. like in my head jesper will always end up with wylan, but i've read fics about him and kaz and him and other people so i'm not super fussy i don't think.

random headcanon

he likes painting his nails but the paint is always chipped because he's too impatient to wait for them to dry properly.

unpopular opinion

not to be all "ooh no one gets him like i do" but NO ONE GETS HIM LIKE I DO. like that's an exaggeration obviously but occasionally i see the wildest takes about him and i'm just like???? did we read the same book??? some of the traits people give him are NOT genuine things he thinks/beleives if that makes sense, like that is the facade that we as the audience are meant to see past and some of us are missing it.

song i associate with them

i have a whole playlist dedicated to him but the first one that comes to mind is free by florance+the machine. also my body by young the giant

favorite picture of them

this one! it's my phone lockscreen at the moment

7 Comfort Films

tagged by : @imxthexhandler thanks sweetpea!

tagging: Anyone who wants to!!

Gonna also try and do ones I don't alwaaaays post

1. Captain America the First Avenger: mainly cause preserum Steve just makes me happy.

2. Zootopia: I don't own this movie so can't watch it when I want but I legit saw this movie in theaters over 10 times. I thought it brilliantly handled the concepts of marginalization and discrimination and wanted to show everyone I knew.

3. Enchanted: I adore Amy Adams and love when movies tackle their own genres and make it meta.

4. Cabin in the Woods: The first horror movie I actually enjoyed watching. Again for the genre meta aspect and the humor was on point. (i cant believe this is one of the gifs and i had to!🤣)

5. Dracula Untold: He shoulda been able to catch Meena and i will never be over it 😤 Also I just really love Luke Evans with that long hair and the cute bathtub scene. Also the final scene in modern times and when he releases the new vampires on the enemy. (these cuties deserved better and we deserved a sequel!!)

6. Remember the Titans: I loooved this movie as a kid and picked it sooo much for movie nights. Honestly should buy it on dvd.

7. Anastasia: One word. Dimitri. But also the movie was beeeeeeautiful. And I love Anya. I wanted to BE Anya! She was a badass and loved that for her.

[mymindwide]

23, 24 and 25 for the 5sos ask 😌❤️

Hey Sunny, thank you for these questions. ❤️

23. fav moment(s) from the hdweuh dvd?

Definitely the one where Ash talks about his childhood and the others talk about him. That breaks and warms my heart

24. fav single from each album?

5 Seconds of Summer - Amnesia

SGFG - Jet Black Heart

Youngblood - Youngblood

CALM - Easier

25. how did you find 5sos?

I love my story so much, it always makes me smile. Back in August 2019 Angie @littledrummeraussie sent me 3 songs (Valentine, Easier, Jet Black Heart) and the Killer Queen cover from a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. And I was listening to those songs, and I liked them but didn’t feel like diving deeper into the band. And there came October 2019, when she came around and she literally told me, I quote her: “I’ll just show you this last one“, and she showed me Talk Fast. And I fell in love right there and then, because this sneaky little witch knew I LOOOVE 80′s music... I felt like this is a sign, I cannot escape my destiny... :D And the rest is history now.

Thank you so much for answering all my DVD commentary questions! Jaskier really is the softest dom and I'm so glad Geralt has him T_T I also just love Follow You Down so much and wish I could just sit in your brain and know all the background because it's soooo good. And now you're writing Lambert?! I'm curious as to what your favourite headcanon is that you're now writing and Lambert's horse name because I just looove Lambert! Thank you again for your answers!!

Of course!  I’m always happy to share the backgrounds and the other POVs . Or anything else you want to know, really.  I have an entire world built up around this and I have to choose what pieces to share and what pieces I can share in Geralt’s limited POV.

I hope you’ll enjoy Lambert’s chapter!  I’m having a lot of fun with it <3

[the-circus-princess]

I’ve watched The Greatest Showman 3 times and it just gets better and better!!!! I looove your blog! You’re very talented! So there are a LOT of headcanons about Phillip discovering how much he likes to cuddle, but I was hoping you would flip the script. I’d like to know what angsty headcanons you have for Anne discovering affection after facing abuse bc of her skin color. Sorry for the word vomit : D P.s. I hope your day is going great!!

aaAAHH ITS SO GOOD i cant WAIT for it to get out on dvd so i can literally not watch anything but the movie 24/7 (watch my neighbors kick me out for watching tgs at 4 am wops)BUT YES AA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH so let me rub my lil angsty hands all over this 

Imma put this under a read more because wops i went WILD, its not a fic its just me being emotional

Anne is somewhat used to affection, I mean after all she got a brother that seems to care a lot for her! W. D. definetly seems like a guy that would hug and let her sleep on his shoulder, and just genuly a good brother over all!! But still that’s just siblings affection, it’s not romantic.After a nasty and gross incident where Anne was grabbed, mocked and harmed because of the color of her skin she really withdraw, and for a while didnt feel comfortable with people touching her. Just simply did not want to be touched because it would spike anxiety in her. She carried bruises around her wrists and upper arm for a week after the gross and disgusting people hands and with time it just became a habit for everyone to not touch Anne Wheeler. (ofc being in the circusring was an exception)That is until Phillip came along, though. He never really knew what happened, he just noticed how Lettie would never force Anne into a hug or how Constantine always stayed a respective distance away from her and so Phillip too fell into the habit of not touching Anne at first, somewhat understanding there was an untold story around it. But as the two of them grew closer Phillip started with small signs of affection, at first just pinkies brushing against eachother or gentle shoulder-bumps. Just small things to show interest and because he wants to be affectionate towards her. First time Phillip takes her hand she almost pulls back in surprise, just because it’s been probably years since anyone has held her hand like that. Soft, caring and loving. And of course Phillip apologises and pulls his own hands away and is concerned that he might have upset her. But no, she goes after his hand and takes it into her own and she almost cries because god she’s missed contact with others so much. And up and until now it’s pained her not to be close to Phillip. She probably spills her gut about the incident and Phillip promises that it will never happen again as long as he’s around.

From then on they take it somewhat slow. Phillip starts casually touching her, anything form a hand on her lower back or a soft caress to her cheek and Anne melts a little more every time. Phillip can physically feel her lean into his touch and becomes more confident on being closer to her. He knows Anne well enough to trust that she will tell him if she gets uncomfortable. 

First time they actually snuggle up together is after a long rehersal at the circus. Anne is freezing and Phillip offers her a blanket (that he 100% borrowed from Lettie) and somehow he joins in and the two of them just huddle up together under the blanket. That’s the first time Anne fully relaxes and shifts her weight into Phillips arms. And Phillip almost cries because finaly he gets to hold her. And Anne is almost crying too because she feels so safe and warm and loved in his arms. They probably stay there for a few hours, Anne just tracing lines with her fingers on Phillips arm and Phillip rubbing small circles on Anne’s hip with his thumb as they speak and talk about everything and nothing. After that it becomes more frequent for them to be close it’s only matter of time before Anne wakes up in Phillip’s arms a saturday morning in his appartment. And she just lays there and looks at him with a smile on her face because there’s nowhere in the world she’d rather be. She just loves Phillip’s warm arms around her and listning to the sound of his breath and being close to him. She never knew how  touchstarved she was until she had to be without Phillip’s touch but now she got it forever.

aaaa !!!!! i looove swan lake n this fic was so amazing. may i ask, was this based off of matthew bourne’s version of this performance? because i was watching some clips online and saw the cover was exactly what the fanart of bucky looked like. just asking because if so i wanna watch it and picture steve and bucky as the prince and lead swan haha. i love ur work

Aw thanks anon! It absolutely is based off Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake. As I noted at the beginning of the fic, the 2012 DVD version is the one I watched for inspiration. And it very much is worth watching. It’s an excellent choreography and I really, really like Richard Winsor as the Swan. (Plus you can easily picture them as Steve and Bucky.)

Thanks so much for enjoying the fic! Have a lovely day.

[seigaku9th-blog]

july 15th to july 23rd 2017 ➜ tenimyu’s seigaku VS rikkai

after years of dreaming, i finally had the chance to watch tenimyu in person. I saw VS rikkai 5 times within 1 week, and it still wasn’t enough! read on to hear my thoughts, my interactions with the actors & various other reports.

THE SHOW.

where to start. probably with how i started tearing up just from hearing the classic tennis ball sounds as the room is pitch black opening sequence.

the show started off with a rikkai number. they are. wonderful. i’m a HUUUGE fan of rikkai 2nd--they are my favorite rival team along with higa 2nd--so my expectations were set very high... but rikkai 3rd managed to reach them--and some of them completely surpassed my expectations. not even 5 minutes in, i was already blown away by their powerful singing voices.

seigaku’s opening number is a new song: and hikaru sings the second!! line!! In it, and god. GOD. each time he sang it, even after seeing the show 5 times, my hand would instinctively go up to my chest, i was just overwhelmed with emotion... the VOICE this boy has. mindblowing. i cannot wait for the DVD & OST of this show so i can add his new lines to my compilation of his singing. one of my friends, when we met during intermission of the first VS rikkai show she saw, the first thing she said was; SINCE WHEN CAN KAIDOH SING!?!??!? hehehe.

the ryoma VS kirihara match was amazing to watch. i feel like ryu is 50% genki & 50% motohisa, so i think everyone will be able to love him! he has the perfect attitude, demeanor and behavior down. his face is also very interesting to watch!! but what mostly amazed me about this match were nichika’s stunts during it. i had to go rewatch dori & yuuki’s performances to make sure i wasn’t exaggerating just how cool nichika was. i wasn’t. the way he knocks off his feet and falls each time kirihara hits his ankle is so believable and intense! it’s honestly scary! he did his stunts as intensely throughout the whole week. i’m really amazed by this kid. i really love kirihara+marui+jackal’s new song too, ruby eyes. it’s so catchy! it’s been 6 weeks and i could probably sing it off the top of my head still~

the hospital scene… i love how niou would touch yukimura’s shoulder or hair or fix his clothes when he walked in hehe. yukimura’s slow solo song following this scene was much longer than the one in previous seasons. and amazing. toshiki’s singing voice is incredibly powerful, heartfelt and beautiful. this was the only solo that consistently got an applause at the shows i went to. i’m really excited for everyone to get to hear his singing... his musical voice is MUCH better than his idol band thing voice. XD

rokkaku were always there to lighten the moood and make the crowd laugh. the banedabi higawari were especially funny... the best one was when bane-san turned into jijii... and i loved saeki’s solo!! kaname’s singing is sooo wonderful, it makes me especially excited to hear him sing The Best Song ever in VS higa.

D2: kaidoh+momo VS marui+jackal. this has always been one of my favorite matches in the anime, and i loved ikeoka & kamitsuru’s version of it as well!! i don’t think hikaru & jonathan have exactly as much chemistry as their 6th cast counterparts did, but their individual performances as kaidoh & momo are incomparable. kaidoh’s solo changed a little, with similar lyrics but a different rhythm & melody. i think they’re really adapting their musicals to let hikaru’s singing skills shine, which, god bless them. yusaku is an ADORABLE jackal, and his marui feels(tm) are exactly what i like to see. as for taka, i think he impressed everyone, marui fans or not. his performance is just SO much FUN!! he has amazing stage presence! marui has a solo song now... with backup vocals by jackal... i do wish it were a legit duet, but the song is just AMAZING, so i can live with it. take~ it~ easy~ take it take it easy~

D1: golden pair VS illusion pair! i was so happy to finally see sei-chan and yu play doubles together! they were so cute. yu is an angel. i really loved his performance throughout this whole show... and i can tell sei-chan is getting better by the minute! it’ll be fun to see him play singles soon. but i especially LOOOVED yuuta and dai’s performance. they are so fun to watch together, and amazing performers and singers. i’d normally be disappointed that they changed the petenshi song, as iconic as it was, but the new one is SO. MUCH. FUN!! they perform so many magic tricks/illusions during the song, and there’s some i still haven’t deciphered. it’ll probably look even cooler and even more convincing on DVD! and... ahem. excuse me for a second. *puts on I♥YAGYUU headband & rips off jacket to reveal I♥YUUTA shirt*. Yuuta Is. My Dream Yagyuu. ok that’s it thanks

S3: inui VS yanagi. data pair’s match was possibly my favorite part of the show. isawa really impressed me considering he was the member i was the most wary about when the cast was first announced... but he looks WONDERFUL in his yanagi costume and makeup, and his singing is beautiful. but sho... sho. oh man. i LOVE this guy. since we didn’t get to see much of him in VS rokkaku, i was really looking forward to seeing what he was capable of. and he certainly did not disappoint. i’m a very big fan of inui actors and inui himself has always been one of my top 3 favorite characters, so i always expect a lot. and sho did everything right. he is exactly what i want to see in an inui. i’ll be straight up: sho’s inui is my favorite inui. i feel like he combines every previous inui’s best traits: inagaki’s appearance, arai’s smile, teruma’s singing voice, ryosei’s charisma, basshi’s weird, arayan’s extra. and their cumulative love for kaidoh, tezuka, momo and ryoma. and cumulative sexy--*i am suddenly run over and cannot write anymore*

but seriously! sho has 2.5 solo songs during this match, and he performs all of them so well. his singing voice is LOVELY, and i feel like he is constantly improving. i also think he’s the best dancer in seigaku after yuu, which should make no sense considering his size? he emotes and acts so well, and i think he really understands the balance of calculating weirdo creep and impossibly kind, loving and emotionally perceptive goof that inui is made of.

also, as an OT4 shipper, i must mention that ryoma gets really intense cheering during this match, yelling DO YOUR BEST INUI SENPAI!!, that momo has the cutest reaction and hugest smile, legit fangirling, when a tired inui leans on his shoulder after the match, and...!! tenimyu finally included this scene from the anime, where kaidoh hands inui a towel and they smile at each other huhuhu... well, sho’s hand didn’t touch hikaru’s like how they do in the anime, but. close enough, right!!

S2: fuji VS kirihara!! fuuma was sooo pretty and threatening and soft-looking but scary-acting... i really enjoyed his solo. you have to give it to fuuma for being such a good actor and by that i mean convincing us that fuji is still in love with tezuka even if fuuma seems to be unable to stand yuuya LOL... the part where fuji loses his vision is also so much more convincing and heart tugging than it has ever been before. as mentioned earlier, ryu’s kirihara is a gem. i’m looking forward to seeing his performance at senshuraku on the DVD, since i could feel him improving with each show! at first, i wanted him to be a bit crazier/shriek more ((since that’s my favorite thing about anime kirihara & motohisa’s kirihara, beautiful crazy shrieking child)), but by the last show i saw, he had it down so well.

i couldn’t believe they hadn’t changed mou mayoi wa nai, sanayuki’s duet... i’m always conflicted between laughing or crying when it comes on... i was expecting an update with a modern tune with more romantic lyrics, but by the end, i learned to love it... because of toshiki and shogo’s singing, of course. they’re both amazingly talented. and look amazing together. and sound amazing. and have great chemistry. however, i think shogo was having a hard time adjusting to the deeper voice he’s been using as sanada, because he sounded very rough and sore by the 23rd? which led to toshiki singing even more powerfully during their duet on that day... it was wonderful.

S1: ryoma VS sanada! nichika has been growing, both physically and has a performer, so fast. he was a lot of fun to watch during this match... the best moment is when he does this 360 spin and his sweat forms a misty halo around him. that sounds very bad when written down doesn’t it. anyways. shogo is so intimidating and scary and manly as sanada!! it really surprised me since he’s so beautiful and cute out of costume!! i really love him. well, i love both actors, i love both characters, and i ship this pair, but god, isn’t this match always a little too long, be it manga, anime or musical? i found myself watching the benches a bit too often XD. until samurai comes on, of course! it was impossibly difficult to stay still each time it came on!! i had to sing & dance to it at the karaoke to get my love for this song out of my system between the shows i saw.

3rd season has been amazing from the beginning, and VS rikkai was no exception. i have nothing but positive thoughts, and am proud of every single actor. (but especially toshiki and sho, who’re my personal MVPs of the show. also hikaru’s legs)

THE ENCORE.

the encore is always SO much fun! I’m actually rather happy that they changed it to in my heart in time for me to go see tenimyu, because i can’t even do the bunbun moves properly in my living room... i don’t remember all the calls we got during the shows i went to, aside from yuuta’s laserbeam and shogo’s tarundoru. i was definitely shouting way too loudly during them... i was just so happy...

15th: i got WAAAY too lucky. during my first first FIRST ever show, i got a high touch from sho. I’ve always liked him, but the way his smile got so much wider, and his handsome face, and his kind eyes... i’m totally gone now... bye... that was honest to god my favorite and most heartfelt interaction with any actor after ikkei-san, sorry to all the other inuis and tezukas who actually held my hands and talked to me

right after sho high touched us, chiba ran by and had to jump to reach our hands and high touch us! It was so cute!! also yuuya ran by and i physically reeled away in fear

19th: when i was on the balcony for once, and had an alley seat, yuuta was slowly going thru the alley and looking, waving and thanking each of us, one by one. It was so sweet and so gentlemanly. he’s my favorite member of rikkai and i’m a huge fan of yagyuu, so i was super excited and happy. I think i yelled I LOVE YOU in my daze... i probably need to be banned from tenimyu

23rd: i got ANOTHER!! high touch from sho!! I was so happy!! and then!! yuuya too!! I saw this show with a friend who’s a big fan of tezuka, so we were both so excited ;_;

funnily enough, i didn’t get any high touches or interactions when i was in the 5th row, nor in the alley seat of the 3rd row... XD

THE AUDIENCE.

one particular aspect i didn’t expect to be so weirdly excited/traumatized about was the graduates sitting in the audience to watch the show. as we all know thanks to blog posts and selfies, there are past cast members who go see the tenimyu performances in tokyo almost every day. what i didn’t expect was to be so cursedly lucky about who would show up on the days i went...

15th: satsuki, akki, kohei, ogaken & kaminaga attended the matinée show. i wish i had noticed ogaken & kaminaga earlier since i’m a fan, but i couldn’t see them too well from my seat! but i did see satsuki and akki being SUPER into in my heart and being very dedicated to doing all the moves. so cute!

19th: hideya, ryosei, miura, ikumin & mikata attended this show. now. as you may or may not know. hideya is my #1 favorite actor ever. and i was very, very sad that i wouldn’t have any chance to see him during this trip. Well. imagine my reaction when he shows up on the one and only day where my seat was in balcony 1 rather than arena, in the row of seats right next to the one where the graduates always sit. actually i didn’t really have any visible reaction bcuz i was trying very hard to respect their privacy and not stare too much bUT!!! AH!! seeing ryosei again 3 days after meeting him was kinda funny. oh, miura is sooo cute and sooo pretty. he was sitting next to the other guest seats and was super friendly and chatty with those family members. at some point he leaned over the railing and looked so cute and childish… he also leaned over ikumin to whisper in ryosei’s ear which i thought was hilarious. poor ikumin. so unloved. but the funniest was how mikata kept talking and no one reacted or replied to him... hideya and ryosei were talking together pretty much the whole time, which made me VERY happy since i’m such a fan of the both of them, and also because inutezu. I also loved how they got the biggest reaction from the audience XD everyone is always polite and respectful and doesn’t bother the guests, but you could see everyone in the arena turning around to look at them and people whispering OMG HIDEYA OMG MIURA all around me wwww

20th: aibacchi attended this show! i didn’t know it was him until the blog posted pictures of him because he was wearing a face mask, hat and very plain clothes. i just figured it was a 1st season dude since even famous 2nd & 3rd actors rarely bother hiding their faces.

23rd: sana and masa attended this show!! oh my god. i was in the last row of the arena so they were right behind me. I was feeling very conflicted about how i had just paid 130$ to see sana from the 21st row of a theater, only for him to sit right behind me... masa & him NEVER stopped talking, it was kinda funny. classic sana becoming buds with everyone because he has no notion of respect or seniority. i actually thought masa was a 3rd season guy i wasn’t recognizing due to how friendly they were with each other!!!!! but now that i think about it, they were probably just gushing about how much they love yagyuu. me too, guys. during the encore, sana’s face was like (THIS) the entire time. so cute. yuuya went up to the two of them to bow & say thank you.

MISC.

just walking around TDC was so... emotional... walking around places i’ve seen in backstage videos for years... i felt silly because all my friends have been tenimyu veterans for years while i was freaking out so badly over everything that i couldn’t even finish my bowl of ramen okay actually i’ll blame that one on sho’s high touch a few minutes before

it was also really fun to go to all the shows with friends. back home, i only have one tenimyu buddy, and i feel like in general, a lot of fans are more fixated on 1st and/or 2nd season, so being able to talk about the actors and the shows with people who love tenimyu 3rd just as much as i do was so much fun!! thank you for the emotional support, hot gossip, gifts, restaurant visits & good times sam, emma, josie, tina, jillian, vivi & keiko 😭💕

CONCLUSION.

i’ll keep it simple. seeing VS rikkai 5 times wasn’t enough, and i’m already dying to see it again. oh, and i bought my plane tickets to go see VS higa in february already. so, yes, i guess that i did enjoy seeing tenimyu in person. ((it was the most wonderful experience of my entire life, even as an avid theater & concert goer. nothing could ever quite compare.))

Friday Night Fandom Asks

Oh, seven hells. Yet another “answer fun questions” thing to distract me from the 3 stories I need to finish. OF COURSE I’m doing this instead. Cheers to @jomiddlemarch for tagging me *raise wine glass 1/?*

1.      1. What was the first fandom you were aware you were a part of?

Oh, easy peasy. The X-Files. In the hey-days of the internet, in all its HTML glory. I was OBSESSED with that show and worshipped Scully (who, let’s face it, is a kickass role model for teenage girls). Wrote my only other fanfics then. Will still watch Gillian Anderson in anything she appears in (and bitch like crazy when Canada won’t let me #AmericanGods).

DISCLAIMER: I don’t know what the actual definition of fandom is. For the purpose of this exercise, I take it to mean “loving something so much you seek out extra material and fellow fans online”.  That may be the Level 10 definition, but so be it.

 2.      2. What’s your current favorite fandom?

Mercy Street, God rest its beautiful soul *giant sob* *pours glass 2/?*

3.      3. What is your secret favorite fandom?

Probably Mercy Street, because Mercy Street is like a secret show nobody’s ever heard of, and people think I’m a hopeless nerd when I mention I like Civil War, hoop-skirted medical-ish dramas.

4.      4. What fandom do/would people think you ought to like that just leaves you flat?

Hmmm…I haven’t gotten a lot of recommendations. Outlander, maybe? I’m reading the books, have watched some of the show: it’s good, but doesn’t come and grab me like the others do.

5.      4. What attracts you to a fandom?

I’ve honestly been asking myself that question for a while: what makes me fangirl-obsess over one thing, yet leaves me at the “I really enjoy this, but don’t need anything more” stage for another? I think it comes down to loving a show in its whole + off-the-charts chemistry between characters I adore and deeply connect with.

I’ll plug Community here because it’s the only other show I’ve fangirled over and own all DVDs of. I was pretty much exactly Annie Edison in my college years, and watching her in the super fun and crazy meta Greendale universe with her hot chemistry with Jeff (yet-somewhat-age-inapropriate, damn the writers) was pure gold.

6.      5. What aspect of fandom makes you squee or the modern-day equivalent of squee-ing?

Despite my everyday cynical, rational, evidence-based brain, I am a hopeless romantic grown on Disney movies. So I would say unresolved sexual tension/ romantic moments/hurt-comfort between two characters with tons of chemistry.

My tolerance for melodrama is directly proportional to the previously-mentioned criteria. That typhoid, bathtub, ice-picking-like-a-maniac, “let me feel your pulse while you beam that radiant smile at me” Mercy Street episode messed me up and led me here. Nothing they did in Season 1 managed that (although the last 2 episodes almost did, but then the show was over for a WHOLE FRICKIN’ YEAR and I forgot all about it).

7.      7. Which character from which fandom do you think would most appreciate you as a fangirl/boy?

Dr Hale from Mercy Street, or Jeff Winger from Community, because these two would appreciate ALL the fangirls and boys they could get.

8.      8. What was the first fandom you were in before you were aware of fandom?

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast: I was 7-8 when it came out. To have a brown-haired, French-speaking, book-loving, adventure-seeking Disney Princess like me was an absolute revelation.

Also Hocus Pocus. My 10-year-old pre-semi-Goth self LOOOVED them Anderson sisters and Salem setting. Wrote stuff about that too. 

(I’ll save you the math and IMDBing. I’m soon-to-be 34.)

I now tag @stateofgreen @dancesontheedge, @stardust-pond, @conchord, @cinnam0nnclouds 

*raise glass 2/2* Hey, that was pretty tame. Back to writing I go!
