Day 51

[pityroadart]

Here's my piece for the @mcspirkevents Big Bang! I was paired with the excellent @twinkboimler and their fic Jim Kirk's Guide to Delivering the Goods, which you can find here (E, AOS McSpirk, 60k)

Summer just started, and Jim is bored out of his mind. The courses he needs to take aren’t being offered until the second half of the summer, so he has an entire month to bother his roommate Bones. At Bones’ suggestion to get a job, Jim fixes up a motorbike and starts making deliveries to people in town, including a cute Vulcan professor named Spock. But when Jim is beaten up while making a delivery, it’s Spock who delivers Jim back to the apartment he shares with Bones. After the meet-cute from hell, Spock and Bones start dating… and so do Jim and Spock. With neither roommate aware they’re both dating the same man, there’s only so long that things can go well for them before the other shoe finally drops.

Also as part of my Big Bang offerings, I made a fic playlist (below) — partly a love letter to McSpirk, partly a love letter to myself and Fletcher's overlapping music taste.

Thank you again to Fletcher @twinkboimler for working on this project with me, it's been an absolute joy!

Old Old Fashioned | Josh Ritter (Frightened Rabbit cover)

[orionhelluvaranting]

And remember, kids, you should prioritize wisely!

Alright. I had some kind of tolerance toward these two before. Hell, I had been liked Ozzie even! Unfortunately, after "Mastermind" has released I can't stand them (or the way they're written, to be more specific) anymore! 💢

Bee and Ozzie both are supposed to be that nice and well-meaning individuals who actually care about the commoners unlike the other (bad) capitalists. In fact, they're just two bratty kids who'd rather bully some loser than do philanthropy. But Viv with the standom are so desperate to prove us otherwise. And that's so annoying!

Evidently Bee is a party gal. She's chill 'n cool. But most importantly, despite of being a royal she doesn't give a damn about stupid rules. She considers hellhounds as her equals and throws a parties for them. She cares about her people very much! And of course - OF COURSE! - she'd like to help Loona and co. but... Sigh! Her paws are tied! Besides, there are more important things to do. Like putting Mammon in his place. When else could you find perfect time for this if not at the court, right? Plus, Bee supports slave trade. Just saying.

And Ozzie... Uuuggh, please don't even get me started on him! The topic deserves a separate post because it's large and I don't mean to go deep into this right now. Instead, I'm going to rant about how Bee and Ozz stand up for Blitzø vs how they attack Mammon. So we could figure their true top priority out.

<<< Tw: acephobia and occasional sarcasm under the cut >>>

How they defend Blitzø:

Say "this lil imp guy isn't bad, let him speak up" (they immediately forget about this the moment Mammon interrupts them)

Rise a hand to vote for hearing out the testimonies (and there's nothing special since M&M and Loona did the same)

Bee gives four middle fingers to the crowd of pompous nobles... Wow. That was so edgy cringy!

Geez, what a great performance! So brave,so rebellious, so selfless! These guys are the bloody legends for real! The true defenders for all the oppressed souls. I think they dropped this 👑

Cough, cough! Excuse me, seems like I had a sarcastic attack. Cough, cough!

Okay, where was I? Oh, right! As you can observe the whole defense from Bee and Ozzie seems pretty weak. It's a bare minimum. You disagree? Then let's see...

How they attack Mammon:

Ozzie yells and threatens him with a literal fireball ​immediately

"Nobody wants to fuck you!" Yikes, that was EXTREMELY acephobic* from your side, Bee...

Bee throws a dick-shaped popsicle at Mammon (fail)

"Why won't you keep fucking yourself?" Woah, another corny insult! Bee, could you please stop acting like a cringy acephobic bitch?

Bee throws a dick-shaped popsicle at Mammon again (success)

There are a lot more passion and persistence, ain't it? And what has Mammon done to cause that kind of reaction? Well, he interrupted Ozzie's speech like this:

"Shut up, you two! We all know you enjoy slumming it with the low class plebs. Unlike the rest of us..."

And excuse me, but, uh... Where's the lie? Bee and Ozz both are banging with the lowest of the lowest. That's true. Their reaction seems kinda "You ask me for facing the truth, but you do it without respect" in that instance. Like??? Are they embarrassed by being called out? Or do they've got offended because Mammon marked their lovers as "the low class plebs"? 🤨

Well, sweeties, I have a bad news for you! There's the class system in your society. That system implies division into classes - low and high. Hence your baes belong to the low one. And they won't stop to belong to it even if you pulled them out of that environment. You can't "fix" them like that. Because the moment you've got bored with them they'll be left with nothing. As far as the system is still alive. The system in whose existence you - Bee and Ozz - are involved as deeply as Mammon. And his words about the "plebs" isn't just his individual opinion. It's the whole upper crust's point of view. So maybe you should try beating up the system? What's the use of your hassle with Mammon? You don't even reproach him for bigotry - that would be valid - but for being unfuckable. This whole situation seems not like fight for justice but like expression of your personal aversion. If so, then why the hell are you getting distracted from the court where the fate of one commoner is decided?

Oh! By the way Bee and Ozz doing it right in front of Satan. You know, that horrible and tough dictator who would shut anyone up the second they dare disobey him. Defend Blitz? Woooah, nooo, no way! Satan is a big meanie, he won't allow this! Bicker with Mammon like there's no tomorrow? Ha, easy-peasy! Satan won't mind. And surprisingly he actually doesn't! Instead, he just... suggests to take the vote + facepalms a bit later. Is this some kind of punishment for inappropriate behavior or is Satan simply fine with the whole nonsense he's surrounded by? I mean, Satan has brought Sins together for this event and now these idiots are sitting behind him and not paying attention (Bel's literally sleeping!). Can't this be seen as disrespectful? No?! Apparently Satan could get mad only if Ozzie speaks the truth out, right? Great 😒

Anyway, let's get back to Bee and Ozz. They were doing that childish nonsense... and what have they achieved? Well, they've managed to make Mammon suck a d. Wow, the true heroes we deserve! Now all the imps and hellhounds rotting in poverty and slavery could breathe easily. Bravo!

And look how frigging cheerful these mfs are! May I remind you they're doing this right after the Goetias have voted for Blitzø's execution and now...

HE'S ABOUT TO FUCKING DIE!!!

What were they even thinking about at that exact moment?!

"We've failed to help this imp and now he's gonna die??? Awww, nooo, poor thing... Anyway! Let's push a dick into the greedy pig's throat! Yeah, we're so cool and edgy. Besties goals!"

And then we're supposed to hate Mammon because he doesn't care about the trial and messes around. But when Bee and Ozz do the exact same thing we should root for them? Really!?!!?

My honest reaction for all this crap:

Conclusion: The narrative (and Viv) wants us to regard Bee and Ozz as the good capitalists, although they put in almost no effort. They do the bare minimum and the standom is justifying them by lack of power and "Satan is the law". However, the lack of power and "Satan is the law" don't stop them from bickering with Mammon in the middle of the trial.

Thus Bee and Ozz prefer to get distracted by stupid childish nonsense without any significant value (and they do this enthusiastically) instead of helping Blitzø and his team. They don't try to noticeably change the status quo on a daily basis as well, even support it (Bee's slave trade). Still, they're admired by the whole fandom as if they're victims of circumstance who are simply deprived of the opportunity to do anything. And this hypocritical rhetoric is pissing me off so much.

*No, I won't take the arguments "But Mammon is closeted! Bee didn't know he's ace! She would never say that if she knew!" Yeah, she didn't know, alright... But guess who did know about Mammon being the ONLY grown-up asexual character in the whole show? Vivziepop! Oh, also SHE wrote this episode. So she was the one who has approved the idea of a "positive" and beloved character mocking an asexual for not getting laid. Therefore the fact Bee PROBABLY didn't know doesn't really make this better for me.

😚Zoom Zoom Mama G has posted again!!!

HOPE YALL ENJOY THIS ONE AND I HOPE ITS NOT TO BAD….(You’re older than branch but younger than Floyd btw😌)

Family Reunion||Brozone x Sister Reader

Warning:Angst and Mild Cursing

Word Count:1.3k

Other:It’s kinda proof ridden😝✌️

====================

You knew JD wasn’t always the best brother, but you didn’t expect for it to go like this…

“It’s called BRO-ZONE meaning BROS not GALS” JD said angrily at the h/c haired troll. “So youre saying just because I'm a girl I can’t be in the band. I’m basically the damn melody John.” you loudly yelled at him clearly pissed at how your brother didn’t want you to ruin brozone. “It has to be perfect and the name is perfect for bros. MAYBE IF YOU WERE PERFECT IT COULD WORK, BUT YOU’RE JUST A FUCKING MISTAKE FOR THE BAND” he yelled at y/n tired of her shit. He didn’t mean to totally call her a mistake, but it was too late. She already ran to her room in the shared pod, crying her eyes out and muttering small complaints. All the brothers stood with their mouths agape from witnessing the scene. “John what the hell,” Bruce said, holding the blue decorated egg with blue hair sticking out. “You just called her a damn mistake” “Maybe she is and it would be best if she left….The band is almost there and she’ll just get in the way.” John said it as if he was hoping y/n would leave to save the band for the family harmony. After John said that all the brothers left the area with sour and disapproving faces. Ignoring him till later that night.

It was now 2:34am and fast paced footsteps were heard around the pod waking John up from his humble sleep. He groggily dragged himself out the bed and headed towards the noise and found his three brothers and branch’s egg sitting in the living area. “What’s going on and why are you guys up so early.” John said, kinda annoyed from losing his beauty sleep. “Y/n left” Clay said barely above a whisper. “Huh,” John asked again, not being able to hear Clay. “Y/N FUCKING LEFT” Clay bursted as his tears started pooling his eyes. “You drove our sister away because of your stupid and glorious dream. Now she’s out in the wilderness by herself and we don’t know if she’s alive or dead.” John felt his whole body freeze and run cold. Did he fuck up or was it just you overacting? Before Bruce could add in to the statement, John wasted no time in leaving to go put on his jacket and shoes ready to go find y/n. He left out the door after he finished getting dressed, without a word to his brothers.

________________

{Y/n’s POV}

I woke up in a cold sweat, absolutely drenched from the wrenched nightmare of your older brother. My mind has been messed up recently ever since my eventful trip to mount ragous.

FLASHBACK

“It’s some kind of love”

A voice rang through the area. It was so soft, but with a familiar melody.

“It’s some kind of fire”

It was my part? But sung by someone different. An angelic voice.

“I’m already up, but you lift me higher”

But that’s when it hit you..it was your brothers with a now full grown relationship saving Floyd.

TIME SKIP DONE

{2nd POV}

After your brothers and those two mystery girls brought Floyd back, you couldn’t help ,but feel nothing but relief and a little wave of nervousness. All five of your brothers were standing right there together but the time just didn’t feel right for you. You wanted to go hug and celebrate with them, but you just felt disappointed and angry at them for not trying to find you. Without a word you started walking away, but caught what now sounds like a grown man spruce saying “How about we all celebrate at Vacay island this weekend.” You then had an idea set up perfectly for this Family Reunion.

{Y/N POV}

I sighed heavily as I parked my motor beetle in front of this big resort looking restaurant. “I hope they aren’t too mad to see me” I told myself, trying to hype myself up from all the nerves. As I step foot into the resort I see this tall yellowish woman at the bar, so I head over to ask her where the boys may be. “Umm excuse me…can you help me” I asked her in my nice bright tone. “Of course hun! What can I help you with and by the way you can call me Brandi” she exclaimed, clearly being an extroverted person. “Well you see I’m here looking for my brothers and i’m kinda here to reunite with them after basically being away for 22+ years” I say not trying to sound crazy or out of the ordinary. “Ok well what are their names?”Brandi asked me as she took out a notepad ready to write them down, assuming that it was more than one. “Well to start off it’s John Dory for the first one and Bru-” “Is that them?” she pointed to a corner before quickly apologizing for cutting me off. I was literally stunned when I saw all of them bonding and getting along like we were little kids again. I guess Brandi picked up on my distressed and nervous face that she offered and said” If it makes you any better I can go with you for emotional support” She says tucking a burgundy loc behind her head. “I would like that very much”I say releasing some pent up air that I didn’t know I had.

As Me and Brandi walked to the corner it felt like time was slowing down and my breaths were getting shorter by the second. I was trying to calm myself down in my mind, but I was brought out by Brandi speaking. “Um hi y'all sorry to interrupt, but you guys had a little surprise that decided to drop in today.” As on cue I stepped from behind Brandi with nothing but hope and fear in my chest.

“Who’s that?” Bruce said as he looked at the familiar troll. “If you wanted an autograph you could’ve asked us” John laughed as he pulled out a notepad and passed it around to each of the brothers to sign. “Are you guys kidding me?” I exclaimed, wondering if they were joking or not. Every single last one of them looked at you with a dumbfounded expression. “After leaving, you guys clearly forgot me” I said with tears in my eyes as i couldn't believe that they forgot me. “It’s me Y/n…. but I guess you guys didn’t care” I bitterly laugh as I see the visible expression changes on them except Branch. Guess John got what the fuck he wanted” I said getting ready to leave, but felt a hand gently catch mines, stopping me from leaving in the progress. Before I could turn around, I was pulled into a hug by a pink and white haired troll. “We could never forget you n/n” Floyd said genuinely. Slowly one by one the others hugged me except JD and branch.

Me and JD stared at each other as if we were to look away, we would die. Jd cleared his throat before saying “Umm are you good” while giving you that charming smirk. If looks could kill, JD would be dead right now. “That’s all? No sorry or are you ok sis.” I say starting to get angry. “Just be glad I'm happy to see you.” “Or what Jd” I said, letting a few tears fall. “You wanna know how tired I am from fighting with you. I bet Branch didn't even know he had a sister till now.” I advertise my hand to point at a shocked Branch. “But when I want my older brother to show me affection and let me be apart of the group it’s a fucking problem.” I say getting tired of his mess. “I don’t care no more JD. I will really walk out of this resort and leave again if that’s what you want.”I said, grabbing my helmet from the nicely made table. When Jd just stared at me I knew he meant it. So therefore without any words I got out of there and left. But before I did I said….

“So much for a Family Reunion….Hope we meet again, but on better conditions.”

IF YOU WANT A PT.2 WITH FLUFF LMKKKKKK!!!!!

I disagree when people say there is no romantic subtext in itafushi because, I do think there is. I also disagree when people say there is too little [of romance] to base itafushi on it because that's really not true.

It starts with Megumi saying his type is someone with an unwavering humanity. Which is the very literal meaning of Yuuji's name. It slowly develops from there.

I also don't like how people say itafushi is one sided. IT'S NOT. He cares too much. Fushiguro is always the first one he notices in any room he's in. Even in the time he was hiding his death, he would mention Fushiguro now and then. Fushiguro just doesn't leave his mind, never did. He thinks he's very reliable, he SPECIFICALLY told Sukuna to not say anything to HIM about the fingers-resonance thing in the aftermath of the bridge fight. And the scene at the lake, where Megumi told Yuuji he'd kill him if he died, he defintely took it in a serious way, not just because he said "I better not die then" right after, but like, he even referenced that to Megumi in Shibuya. As a way of reasurance. As a way to say "I won't die on you, I will come back to you." Also thanks Mappa for making this even more gayer with the finger guns thing.

Hell, he even knows Megumi's favorite popcorn flavor and he teached him how to make meatballs. They barely knew each other for a few weeks??? And he was so overly excited to learn he'd be his closest roommate. Sure, you can say he's joyful with anyone and he is indeed, but towards Megumi, it's so much more intense. And yeeessss that could be because they are best friends alright but you can't deny it can work both ways, can you?

Since I touched in the best friends topic, I will quickly say how much it bothers me people refuse to ship two guys because they are two guys the same holds true when it's two girls but I'm mostly talking about a m/m ship. I saw someone yesterday talking about itakugi being endgame and like, sure there was some disapproval, but not as aggressive as it would be if it was an Itafushi post. Because when it's about itafushi, they easily jump on you saying "ThEY arE bEST FrIeNDds, CaN't tWo gUyS bE fRIeNDs anyMoRE??!?!? tHIs is jUst fRIendSHiP sTOpInG mAkInG iT gAy/wOkE!" well, it's funny because these exact people would immediately ship a guy and a gal even though there's so much little going on between them (take Ozawa as an example, sure she is cute and all but people saying they have more chemistry than itafushi is just... lack of literacy, like wtf???? how come a girl that appeared in ONE chapter and then NEVER AGAIN god knows if she is still alive - possible have more chemistry than two guys who went through good and bad shit together since chap 1?). But if it's a m/m, then it's a immediate no-no...? This is not about chemistry, friendship or whatever, there is a very clear name to this, the instict to immediately shut down the idea of two guys or girls together in a romantic way. You know very well what is called, don't you?

Anyway, back to Itafushi.

In the whole Shinjuku fight he's been thinking about Megumi, he went through possible ideas and plans TO SAVE Megumi. He's willing to become Sukuna's host AGAIN to save Megumi. Of course they (including Yuuji) need to defeat Sukuna, stop the Merge and save the world blah blah blah, but until so far, the core of his actions is moved by one objective: to save Megumi.

In post Shibuya he felt so conflicted about whether or not he had the right to live, and when Megumi asked Yuuji to save him, Yuuji's eyes shined again with life. They were devoid of any light until then.

Megumi means so much, so much to Yuuji, he treasures him too much. Way too much!! He would feel lonely without him.

And I don't care the way the translators chose to word this, we can safely assume that to Yuuji, Megumi's absence means loneliness. He would feel a void in his heart (I, the person writting this, am telling this in a romantic way, but you can assume that as platonically too if you like) without him. Megumi MATTERS to Yuuji, and Yuuji MATTERS to Megumi. Hell, Megumi even puts him in the same level of importance as Tsumiki, his sister, the only family he had the whole life. I'm not even gonna dive into the topic of "megumi wanted yuji to marry tsumiki" bc i think that is pure nonsense. plus she's dead. meaning they would never marry anyway.

In conclusion I think there is a lot of room for romance to flourish between these two, it might not be now, it might not be the objective of the whole work (because in the end it's a shonen, so yeah), but it's defintely not weird to think about. Love is a central theme since JJK 0.

Unfortunately people on twitter are mega stupid and I had the unpleasure to see a lot of hate towards itafushi because we apparently are in the wrong for thinking about two guys kissing no matter how much gay chap 266 was. And apparently we are in the wrong for taking Megumi and Yuuji's exchanged to a romantic level even though that shit was gay af (i personally don't talk like that to my best friends but okaaay whatever right) Which prompted me to come to another space (hopefully away from those ppl) to deposit my thoughts.

I HAVE BEEN READING ZDARSKY BATMAN, AND I HAVE DECLARED: I FREAKING LOVE IT!!

I'm reading the Batman Zdarsky run in reverse. That way if I see any bull I can back out at anytime: and to be honest--besides a few things. I really enjoy it

LIKE YO, THAT IS JUST STRAIGHT UP TIM DRAKE RIGHT THERE. It knows who he is as a character. his motives, it's great.

Screw the people complaining "oh why is tim still robin :((", THIS IS WHY HE IS STILL ROBIN. Because this is when he's at his BEST. When he gets to hit his character purpose, WHEN HE GETS TO BE HIM AT HIS MOST HIM. It's FANTASTIC.

Reading in reverse because I know I hated the first story, it was so contrived and ridiculous.

But this--this is some good shit.

Tim being an underdog fighter, having to use his wits to win the fight? MY DAWG, MY DUDE, MY GUYS, MY GALS, MY THEMS, MY THEYS, THIS IS SO TIMMY DRAKE. This is so damn Tim Drake, guys. Oh, my gosh, I am loving this so far.

Dick has his temper back? And trust me, he isn't normally like this. But he's hitting a limit AND IT'S SOMETHING NEW, NOT JUST A REFERENCE. HE'S ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING HE'D DO, 'CAUSE HE'S AT HIS LIMIT. That's wonderful, man. That is so wonderful.

Plus Tim is the heart of the Bat-Family again? This feels like someone actually went back to read these characters before writing it. I'm not saying everything is perfect of course, but these high marks are exceeding all my expectations. And I STOPPED reading comics because of how the beginning of this run destroyed any hope I had.

You guys have no idea how much I'm enjoying the few issues I've read. Besides the cussing (I remember after a bit they decided Tim was someone who used funny words instead of proper cusses), this feels like the Tim I know and love during the era I especially loved him.

Tim comparing himself to his predecessors? Tim not being a natural? A WRITER REMEMBERING THAT?? It's been so long since I've seen that! Most writers treat him like he was another prodigy when he wasn't. AND THIS GUY REMEMBERED THAT!

I shouldn't be so happy at just seeing Tim do Tim things, and serving his character purpose. BUT YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE A WRITER KNEW WHAT TIM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE.

Only complaints I have is that Jason feels like a typical Bat-Family member, and not the sketchy outsider that he is. Making him so close makes his character more bland in my opinion. And Steph is--also generic af unless she's wacky quirky...which is a characterization I hate for her, because she started off so damn interesting, but they made her a freaking trope instead, which is such a disservice to her, but she barely does anything so far, so whatever I guess. Doesn't mean much.

--

This is the first honest thing I've seen that I hated.

No

Not this

This isn't the Bat-Family

This is a sitcom world the fandom wants to be the Bat-Family and some comply with

They're not a sitcom. The conflicts, and uniqueness of the characters is what makes things feel alive and well.

This stuff is cheap fanservice for the fanon demographic that doesn't buy comics to begin with.

Fanon doesn't belong in canon.

--

I mean sure Tim could be drawn smaller, the gag of him looking 12 when he's nearly 18 doesn't work when he's bigger than Damian who is 15 (and contrary to some bullshit comics isn't meant to be small. that was a random thing added for writers who aren't clever to write better humor. it actually contradicts things that were already established).

Don't see the big deal though for most of this.

Can't wait to find it, though. Oh boy.

This whole obsession with Zur Batman, is way over done though. So--I wouldn't be shocked if that was the problem, because my golly does that plot point not seem to be stopping--and it was there from the start and part of the reason why I didn't read it 'til now.

Good Tim tho, at least. So heehee, yey for that--I think--I guess.

Oh, well.

It let me peak at a pseudo-version of an AU I made up years ago. So that's pretty freaking cool.

Always a plus.

And redoing Red Robin story beats but better? Normally I'd hate references to Red Robin, 'cause that changed the perception of so many characters for the worst, but ayy, a bit of redemption isn't bad.

Man, just seeing simple stuff like Tim and Bruce being good ol' classic Batman and Robin warms my heart. It's been so long since Batman and Robin has acted like a proper classic Batman and Robin. It's dynamic that's been sorely missed by many.

OH, MY GOSH, WHY DID THE FIRST STORY HAVE TO STINK SO BAD. THIS STUFF IS GREAT.

Like, DUDE, this is such a Tim thing for him to do!!

And he's showing emotion?? He's crying like how he does?? Because he's not a typical Bat-Family member who just angsts his way through?? THEY'RE MAKING HIM STAND-OUT AGAIN BY MAKING HIM, HIM??

WHY DID THE FIRST STORY HAVE TO SUCK SO BAD?? THIS IS GOOD SHIT.

Like this part is why I originally stopped reading, not because Bruce should think Tim is his soldier, and not his son, THE FREAKING OPPOSITE.

But because the original story has Bruce acting weird when unneeded, just to say this was so unneeded, and adding in all these stupid corny Bat-Family moments was so groan worthy.

This run started off with a story that was a total turn off for me.

To end up being a run that could've kept me enjoying DC, rather than running away from it from as far as I have.

Chip Zdarsky started off awful, but really, he ended up great.

And I've seen people complain about his run, and TRUST ME, there's stuff to complain about. But I have only ever seen the stuff worth complaining about, or stuff I WOULD complain about.

WHEN MOST OF THE RUN IS GOOD

At least when Tim is around.

Go figure.

Maybe I should've paid sole attention to how he wrote Tim and nothing else at the very least for that first story.

'Cause even in the first story, Tim was well-written--it's how cheap the rest of the story telling was in that first story that turned me off--and the weird knew about the movie plans that I am still fully judging harshly. (Love the new Superman film suit, though)

Predictions on Tetro Ch.4 motive, victim and killer

So..that Tetro Friday huh? Beautiful with a lot of great moments, especially heavy ones(god Bruise and Refulgence Post mortem killed me). Not to mention DEATH FLAGS!

Since the victim reveal nor motive hasn’t been revealed yet, I wanted to take a shot at determining what’s going to be the motive, who’s most likely to die this chapter, and who could be the possible killer before this next batch of episodes on Tetro Friday.

Obviously if you haven't seen chapters 1-3 or the current episodes of ch.4, go watch first before clicking below.

So for starters, lets go over who’s currently alive.

Takeshi Ojima

Hiroaki Nakamigawa

Shigeki Yangai

Ken Hasegawa

Ran Hama

Nishino Watari

Ruiko Tamba

Mai Hayashi

Masanari Wada

9 people alive with 3 girls and 6 guys. We know before hand that the killing game is only going to last to 5 trials, meaning 5 people will be left at the end(as I doubt we’re getting another double murder). Now looking at the gender ratio, we’re definitely either going to end up with 3 guys and 2 girls at the end, 3 girls and 2 guys, OR 4 guys and 1 girl. Personally I’m thinking we’re going to get similar to canon DR2 of having 3 guys and 2 girls as the survivors.

So to help limit our options from who’s dying, let’s go over who I'm certain will not die this chapter out of the remaining guys and gals.

Masanari Wada: Yeah I’m 100% certain that Wada won’t die this chapter and even become a survivor. With how his character going, he gives the vibes of someone who’s both going to thrive to be better in taking care of themselves for those who died that wanted him too and to live on with the deceased’s memory as Wada promised to call everyone’s families to let them know what happened. Wada has also went through a lot of torture through this killing game of losing the two closest people of his life, having been a abused victim and stuck through foster care to end up alone, being forced to stay up and getting blamed for falling asleep, and traumatized by Okazaki. Sure, we have Kamimura as an example of someone who also suffered a lot in their life and was striving to become better before having that taken away from them. But I don't think they would do that to Wada as what purpose would it serve to make him go through all of that and just…kill him near the end. Not to mention there isn’t anyone alive I feel like they would need to kill off Wada for their development unlike with Kamimura and Ken.

Nishino Watari: My girl Nishino will live, SHE WILL LIVE! Okay but serious note. My current idea is that all of the survivors will be people who lost someone close to them in the killing game. Watari would be the only representative for Okazaki since no one was close to her before she died nor like her. As for in her character spotlight, we see how she’s been coping through the killing game of just trying to have fun since before she never had any time to before with taking care of her siblings. We also hear that while she has had thoughts of killing before, it was mostly only during ch.1 with the sleep motive for a split second. Watari also the most friendly of the cast with getting along well with most and being friends with Hama while trying to help out Wada and Ken. Currently she doesn't show any signs to me she’ll either kill or become the next victim. So she’s safe

Ran Hama: Hama not dying, cuz Hama is too badass for that. Not to mention to live on for both Chiba and Haruda’s memories. I feel like Hama might break the Wada curse of “One of Wada’s closest friends ends up dying soon” pattern that’s been going on at least with Isono and Tsuno. Hama like Nishino is also very friendly and tries to be helpful when he can. He even lets himself starve back in ch.1 to not let Chiba have that punishment. So regardless of the motive this chapter, I think he would be able to handle it and not be pushed to far to be a killer.

Before I go into the people who I do think is going to potentially die this chapter, I want to make a quick section on two characters that are 50/50 to me just because of something in the story or that I realize as a possibility. The two in question are:

Ken Hasegawa: Okay so Ken is 50/50 on me because of the latest episode of him and Hama along with how he’s been after Kamimura’s death. Its concerning to a certain degree on if Ken might end his life or allow someone else to as he seems very lost and lonely without Kazutoshi by his side. Even the thought of his family back home doesn't seem to motivate him to make it through. His entire world just seems grey….Though this could just mark Ken’s development of figuring out what he wants to do in life and to carry on Kamimura’s memory as he fits with my survivor theory mentioned in Watari’s section. Especially with being the only person alive who knew Kazutoshi and cared for him deeply.

Hiroaki Nakamigawa: Okay so before I was fully confident that Hiroaki going to be a survivor as he has gotten the most development from how he started and even have multiple connections to those who died even if some were small(Sasaki, Chiba, Tsuno) and Ojima too if he died. But a part of me is like “What if they kill off Hiroaki as either a sacrifice to save the group or rather to let Ojima live to pursue his life with the help he needs and chance to be a kid again?”. Because I could see that especially since despite the death flags, perhaps Ojima might be lucky and be bless by the narrative to let him be happy for once. But then again, I see this more as ch.5 than ch.4, so I think he’ll live for another chapter or to the end, who knows?

Now time to who I think will be the potential ch.4 victim and killer! Starting with:

Takeshi Ojima: My boy is doomed..like look at what happened to Ken and Kazutoshi…Hiroaki losing his man 😭 With the episode [Young Forever], it feels like this is just going to cruel foreshadowing that Ojima will die forever young. Never being able to recover from his trauma that cost him his childhood and being able to become strong to not live it take over his life anymore. The latest episode [Bruise] doesn't help either as it just nails down the potential tragedy yet to come. Even earlier in ch.4 Monomoko noted how it would be such a waste to lose someone like him as he’s very valuable to society in her eyes. Not to mention Hiroaki in [Forever Young] saying THE EXACT THING HAMA SAID TO CHIBA BEFORE SHE DIED! It just spells out doomed by the narrative for him. If Ojima dies, I feel like he would be a victim more than killer mostly due to his maladaptive daydreaming making him vulnerable and how I can’t see him that desperate to kill anyone in the killing game really. At least not yet. Now to whether he dies this chapter or the next will be determined. Personally I think he won’t dienuntil ch.5 IF he were to.

Mai Hayashi: Mai with being the focus of so many things rn does feel like its leading to her death. She’s now letting herself be vulnerable with explaining how she just been trying to save everyone with breaking the door, but paying for it with being beaten badly. She had a fight with both Tamba and Shigeki, but has made up with them and promising to teach Tamba to defend herself and go on that totally a date with Shigeki still. We learn from her conversation in [bruise] she went through an incredibly f*ck up situation of being kidnapped as a kid for year before she escape. To which she was able to adapt from it, got stronger, and even killed(though by accident) the same guy who kidnap her as a kid. To which it seems Mai has completed of being able to overcome her dark past to be strong to face forward. And now she’s holding everyone’s student profiles all in her room…if that doesn't spell out V I C T I M then idk what. I mean it would be expected that Mai couldn't be killed easy, but this is Danganronpa and twist can happen(how else were they able to kill all the buff characters each ch.4 of the main games?). The only other way I can see her surviving this is if Shigeki takes the bullet for her and prevents whoever would be the killer of this chapter from killing her.

Shigeki Yangai: Guys I’m sorry but Shigeki 100% going to die this chapter. We already know he has a destructive behavior of trying to allow himself to be of service to any girl(or person in general) he feels need to protect from anything unfair or dangerous to him. Not to mention how much he cares about Mai, who I think it is the second closet to him of being the possible victim of this chapter. So of course Shigeki would die to save Mai’s life over his with how he feels she needs to start caring about herself. Its even worse if he ends up finding out what happened to her in the past maybe from her student profile. I could either see him as the victim dying from protecting Mai or the killer who killed whoever was about to kill Mai or anyone else. Also this does not help his case

Ruiko Tamba: Okay I know a lot of people are “Survivor Tamba” truthers and to be fair, I was thinking she would be one too. That is until I realize that she could possibly be the ch.4 killer. Hear me out. Tamba up to this chapter has somehow surviving this long despite being a combination of careless sometimes, not helpful at points in the trials, and saying mean stuff at times even if she doesn't really mean it. She even acknowledge the fact she somehow made it this long and questions why in [Aftermath of a Sudeen Death]. Why was she the one of the lucky few to make it passed 3 trials alive? Taking the fact that Mai now is training her to defend herself as Mai can’t protect her forever. I could see Tamba taking the risk of killing to survive or even doing an accidental kill in self defense. Perhaps she ends up killing one of the previous victim choices due to an accident where she thought they were coming after her or maybe even thought the victim was coming after Mai. We know Mai means a lot to Tamba as well, so it makes sense she would try to protect Mai like she always protect her. Also Watari back at it again with cursing someone to die in her interview

So with the potential victims and killers chosen, what is the main motive I think might lead to any of these potential killings?

Motive idea 1: Food

We know that this next motive is supposedly cheap within the budget of the killing game noted by Dr. Yonekura. And what would be the cheapest way to save the budge? Easy! Just don’t restock the fridge. Each motive so far has been motives that challenge the cast’s physiology state with their sleep, senses being heighten via adrenaline, and temperatures being dropped. So taking away their food supply where they only have a limited amount left would definitely lead someone to kill. Also the episode [73.4] has me worrying this will become true as Shigeki trying to reassure Wada that they still have food is going to bite him in the back for jinxing them all. Some characters like Wada or Hama would be fine with this motive for a bit in terms of standing it as we seen them gone without food for long periods of time. But this still could be tough on Wada being a potential target for someone since everyone knows he has a food stash. Then again, the alternative could be Wada sharing his stash since he doesn't really eat from it.

Motive idea 2: Student Profiles

Yep! That’s it, the student profiles is the motive. I mean, they did just slap them there easily for anyone to grab and the students did the work themselves of making someone a target for carrying all the profiles on them. No need to worry about spending money on anything fancy, just some juicy information is all they need.

Motive idea 3: Power

Another easy and cheap motive that could save on money for the budget is power. Simple enough. The students don't have power to anything. The lights are out, the fridge is out(which also could count for a food motive too as their food will spoil if they don’t eat it all or go to waste), maybe no working water either. Being stuck in a dark school with food that’s spoiling all while being stinky and put in a vulnerable spot to be jumped in the shadows could make a good motive.

So with all of that done, what do I think is the most likely outcome with these predictions?

My pick for victim, killer, and motive are:

Shigeki, Tamba, and food for the motive. I can see either Shigeki or Tamba killing each other in self defense to save themselves and someone else(this being Mai or maybe even Wada if say for example Tamba was going after Wada’s food stash and Shigeki protected him from her). The food motive I feel is being foreshadowed with Shigeki’s conversation with Wada in [73.4], plus it fits the requirements of being cheap.

One last note I wanted to say is while this is not guarantee. I do think we’re going to have a male victim this chapter and the final chapter since when you think about it….Kazutoshi has been the only male victim of the cast. Plus maybe not for this chapter since I think Tamba going to be the killer, but chapter 5 probably going to have a male killer with how we haven’t had one since Haruda.

Hope y’all enjoy this prediction post and we’ll see if I got anything right next time on Tetro Friday.

Book 4 Part 2

Incubus is cool, also I'm on my laptop this time! Don't expect this high quality screenshots going forward.

Metal, so this is Solomon. Master of Ki Rata and as far as we can tell. Actually the most powerful being alive. Which is fun because so far Mottom and Mammon kinda had fundamental issues with themselves that allowed Allison to slip through their fingers. But with Solomon we really don't know how she is going to get out of this one.

But this may be a hint at Solomon's possible weak points. He is relentless. It seems he may have a sprawling, powerful kingdom, with citizens he cares for. But just how he bid his time while training, only to later kill his masters. Maybe now he is just biding his time before he... Does something...

CLOWN SPOTTED! These folk seem to follow the one gal who's always regrowing her face. I'm excited to learn what her deal is.

This is Incubus right?

HOT!

SHE'S A CLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!!! Also I didn't miss that she bears the word 'beast'. Hohohohohohoho this book is gonna be GOOOOD.

20 bucks Allison gave Chain that lipstick.

NOOOOOOOOO! MY LOVEBIRDS!

Y'know I was GONNA ask what the Thorns have been up to

THIS BOOK IS GONNA SLAP SO HARD GUYS!!!

First off TOURNAMENT ARCCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we got some juicy shit set up. So Chain has been yoinked to the void, and someone else is in her place. With the goal of uniting Allison with Zaid. Returning the key to him. Then yadda yadda Kill Six Billion Demons shows up yadda yadda the end of the world.

BANGER BANGER BANGER BANGER!!!!!!!! THIS COMIC IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harem King Championship

Sun: Good evening Guys, Gals and Non Binary Pals. This is annual Harem King Championship. I'm your host, Sun Wukong, part time Huntsman, full time rizzler.

Neptune: And joining him is me, Neptune Vasilias. N of team SSSN, but N of "Not getting a partner."

Sun: It's good to be in Vacuo. Atmosphere is hot and nominees even hotter.

Neptune: So let's introduce them.

Sun: Nominee number 1. You may know him as J from JNPR, but he is so much more. Jovial jock with jaw dropping junk making you jealous cause ya know your lady is gonna join him... Jaune Arc.

*applause*

Jaune: Thank you Vacuo.

Neptune: Nominee number 2. *whispers* Sun, paper just says racist asshole.

Sun: Dude, improvise.

Neptune: *clears throat* Bad boy of Beacon. Watch out for your girl, cause ears aren't only things he likes to pull. Master of cucking, Cardin Winchester.

*crickets*

Sun: Nominee number 3. She has a cold heart, but her caress will melt you. Every maiden will be hers. Don't think, just obey her... Cinder Fall.

*applause*

Cardin: Aw come on, she is literally a terrorist.

Cinder: You'd be surprised how far can being hot carry you.

Neptune: And finally, nominee number 4. This kitty has claws, and mice aren't the only things she is hunting. If you ever join her harem you'll never be left out cause clones are name of her game. On a hunt for title is... Blake Belladonna.

*applause*

Blake: This is for all Faunus Remnant wide.

Sun: Now that we know contestants, it's time to introduce the jury.

Neptune: As much as I'd like to check out some ladies, we have experts for that.

Sun: Jury member number 1. This hunky dad is more than it meets the eye. Partners are temporary, rizz is eternal, Taiyang Xiao Long.

Neptune: Jury member number 2. Some say he has gone through puberty while he was fetus. He has been bagging waitresses for longer than some of us have been alive, Qrow Branwen.

Sun: And finally... jury member number 3.

Neptune: All time record holder of Harem King Championship. She conquered men, women, Grimm and Kingdoms. Let's have a warm welcome for... Salem.

Sun: Wait, really?

Neptune: It's not like we can kick her out.

Tai: Didn't you kill my wife?

Qrow: Yeah, what the hell.

Salem: Let's keep it professional.

Sun: And now a commercial break.

*in Cinder's camp*

Cinder: Oh I can hardly wait to crush them all.

Mercury: Why am I even here?

Cinder: Because Emerald decided saving the world is more important than my special night.

Mercury: It's just a silly Harem competition.

Cinder: Watch your mouth Mercury. This is not just a silly competition, it's a game of life. If I can't rule as Harem queen, then what chance do I have to claim all Maiden powers. I will have this crown and I will take everything.

*in Jaune's camp*

Nora: You got this Fearless Leader, kick their ass.

Ren: Don't be nervous Jaune, odds are still stacked in our favor.

Jaune: Thanks guys. Can't believe I'm to favorite to win it all. This could be my moment, finally accomplish something and beat Cinder.

*in Blake's camp*

Yang: Jaune seems to be the main favorite to win it.

Blake: Oh don't worry, it's all under control.

Neptune: And now jury will rate our contestants.

Sun: Each jury member will give a rating from 1 to 5. Winner will be the person with highest number of points.

Neptune: Let's get ready to rizzleeeee.

Sun: First to be rated will be Jauneee.

Tai: I give him 4. He has that timeless look, muscular blonde with blue eyes. I could easily see him seduce at least 2 partners with that look. Just stay away from my daughters... and stay away from shapeshifting raven haired femme fatales...

Qrow: Ok Tai, let us continu...

Tai: Trust me, sex might be good but divorce makes it not worth it.

Yang: Could you stop!

Qrow: Sigh... Ok, I give Jaune 3. Look is important, but kid, you lack confidence. You need to work on your game. I'd say your Bi appeal is also kind of weak. It might be controversial, but I'd say true harem king can seduce partners of all genders.

Tai: Was that necessary?

Qrow: What, you can talk about banging my sister live but I can't mention some gay experimentation?

Salem: Men are utterly hopeless. Arc, I give you 4 as well. Your appearance is impeccable for the role and your approach is refreshing. However, you remind me of certain someone, so that lowers overall rating.

Neptune: That gives Jaune Arc final score of 11.

Sun: Not bad, not bad. Let's see can next contestant, Cardin top this score.

Tai: Cardin eh. I give 2, and that's mostly because of appearance. I don't like you and I don't like your approach. Also get a job, NTR fics are not funny.

Qrow: I give him 3. Being a bad boy is not... bad. You've got guts, but if you wanna ask a girl out just do it, don't act like a brat. Your Bi appeal could do some work. And fuck what everyone says, cucking is positive trait for Harem king.

Tai: Qrow!

Salem: Shush now. I give Winchester boy 3. Such a contrast between appearance and behavior. Knight should not act like that, yet in some regards that makes him more attractive.

Neptune: Cardin takes second place with 8 points.

Sun: Oof, I guess he really peaked in high school.

Cardin: Behind Jauney Boy, aw come on.

Neptune: And now one of the favorites, Cinder Fall.

Tai: 5!

Qrow: She tried to kill you daughter multiple times.

Tai: Sigh... 4. Too many red flags.

Qrow: I give her 5.

Tai: And you gave me shit for rating her 5.

Qrow: Hey, I'm being objective here. Look, I don't like her, but she is smoking hot, she has domineering attitude and can seduce you in five seconds no matter who and what you are.

Mercury: Well, it looks like you are getting your little trophy after all.

Cinder: Of course, did you really think I'd finish behind likes of Arc?

Salem: Oh Cinder, such a deceptive case. On the surface you possess all qualities of true Harem queen. Less informed individual might even think you are worthy successor to my legacy... but you are not.

Mercury: Uh oh.

Cinder: Shut up.

Salem: No true harem queen has a diary beneath her pillow, hoping for a dashing Prince to marry her. No true harem queen hugs aforementioned pillow and pretends its her Prince. No true...

Cinder: Stop, stop, stop.

Salem: My, my, fine then. I give her 2. Have to cut her some slack.

Cinder: 2?!

Mercury: *giggles* You are tied with Jaune now.

Cinder: Are you kidding me?!

Sun: Well, joke or not, that's 11 points.

Neptune: We have a tie for first place now.

Cinder: Mercury! Find the tiebreaker rules.

Mercury: Screw you, this is too funny.

Jaune: We are tied with Cinder.

Nora: I'll check the tiebreaker rules.

Ren: What about Blake?

Nora: What about her? *snorts* It's not like Fearless Leader is ever gonna lose to her.

*five minutes later*

Nora: Stop the count, stop the count!

Jaune: How did she whoop our ass this hard? This makes no sense!

Cinder: Ha ha, you lost!

Cardin: Nice one Jauney Boy.

Jaune: You lost as well!

Cinder: Unlike you I don't care about this stupid competition.

Mercury: Cinder you are literally crying.

Cinder: *sniffles* Shut up.

Jaune: But hold on, how did I lose this?

Blake: Because I'm the true Harem protagonist of this show.

Jaune: That can't be. I have... Pyrrha and.... That can't be.... What about Mantle moms?

Blake: Can you name any of them?

Jaune: Of course I can. Ca...

Blake: Without fanon or headcanons.

Jaune: Shit...

Blake: See, told you.

Jaune: But wait, that just means I don't have a harem. What about you?

Blake: Yang, Ilia, Sun, Adam and probably half a dozen off screen simps. Face it Jaune, I'm a genderbent Kirito with cat ears.

Sun: And with this, Blake Belladonna is crowned as a Harem queen of Remnant.

Blake: Thank you Vacuo, thank you Remnant. I dedicate this victory to all Faunus Remnant wide. For far too long have we been reduced to secondary harem members, mere fetish fuel. But now, we rule, we too can be Harem rulers.

Cinder: Fuck this.

Mercury: Where are you going?

Cinder: I'm in need of alcohol and large huggable pillow.

Ren: There is always the next year Jaune.

Jaune: Screw this, I'm getting a black coat and katana... and a gun.

*later that night*

Yang: Can't believe I'm dating Remnant's Harem queen.

Blake: *giggles* I was always a Harem queen. Did you pick up the money?

Yang: I did. If you knew you were gonna win it, then what was the point of the plan?

Blake: To inflate betting odds in Jaune's favor. That made me a dark horse...

Yang: More like... dark cat.

Blake: Aw you. That made me a dark cat of the competition, which allowed me to win ridiculous amount of money by betting on myself.

Yang: Still, was that money really worth writing 500 Jaune harem fics?

Blake: Of course it was. Besides, I didn't really write them. I just changed the name of the protagonist of my existing harem fics to Jaune.... 500 times.

Yang: So devious.

Blake: Indeed. Now kneel before your Harem queen.

Buzz 7.8

Nazi capes fuck off, like fucking for real

Honestly even if Kaiser deigned to tell his people that the Undersiders weren't responsible, somehow I doubt any Empire member would be inclined to treat them with much respect.

Yeah, see, this isn't about the leaks for Hookwolf. This is about the fucking beef over the dog fights.

Not a genius move from the driver, honestly. If you really want to put bullets in the villains that have good defensive capabilities, the last thing you want to do is give up the element of surprise. Stormtiger may not have been able to deflect those shots if he didn't have enough time to react.

Also, does Cricket wield kama? Like, the fucking Japanese farming tool? Are you allowed to join the Empire if you're a blatant weeaboo?

This is a really bad matchup honestly, it's tense to see how close they get to death with these fuckers

Disturbingly evocative and sadistic, but what else is to be expected from fucking Nazis, right

Clever guy

Fuck yeah, environmental takedown

Grue is fucking hardcore. Two shots to Stormtiger's legs and not even bothering to acknowledge Cricket's hostage. Dude does not fuck around when it comes to Empire, the only restraint here is that he's not killing them outright but honestly I wouldn't feel bad if he did. Just dump their bodies into the water, bing bang boom.

Well, okay, I guess Hookwolf would still be a problem, wouldn't he

This Cricket gal is bullshit honestly

So, yeah, now that we've gotten all three of the Empire capes to show their powers, I'll go ahead and say that this fight was stacked against Skitter and Grue from the jump. Hookwolf can't be fought hand-to-hand without being shredded to pieces and insects can't do much about metal flesh. Stormtiger can get bugs off himself no problem and can blast away Grue's darkness. Cricket, meanwhile, has some kinda sonic blast that lets her navigate Grue's darkness and also incapacitate Skitter's bugs.

The fact that they get out of this fight alive is a testament to remarkable intelligence and grit on their part.

This is a brutal slugfest honestly, although the fucking Nazi deserves every second of pain she's getting from it.

It's a little funny that they're having this conversation in front of Cricket. Like "oh yeah it looks bad but she's too busy being a sadist to do any real damage," "oh that sucks ass of her but I'm glad you're not too hurt" and she's laying there with a chunk of thigh missing. She should be embarrassed enough to leave town forever.

Yeah Cricket's busted, but good news is she's taken care of

It's a little funny that they're both stuck stitching each other back up after Brian cut off any romantic options. Like I've seen a lot of works where patching up someone's wounds and putting them back together would have a kind of bloodsoaked intimacy to it, but not here lmao

Also yeah you'd better appreciate Tattletale

These little punks. Love em to bits.

Okay so real quick, noticing Taylor's description of how Regent is talking, and I wonder how grounded Alec is as a baseline. Like I have to imagine that the Heartbreaker Experience doesn't do a whole lot of wonders for learning how to connect to the world around you. Is it an affectation like I've been speculating, or is that just the best he's got for engaging with reality?

I wish going straight for Purity meant killing her, but even without reading the rest of this arc I know the Undersiders don't have that kind of firepower. I can dream, though.

Teehee, parallels

Current Thoughts

I wish Grue managed to kill all three of the Empire capes but I get why he couldn't. I'll just have to hope they all die later.

Awesome that they managed to get the win over those bastards in the first place though, I don't think this is my favorite fight in terms of the beat-by-beat action but in terms of how they have to overcome the disadvantage of enemy powers it feels the best.

I hope you don't mind if I ask your thoughts on something.

I have a guy friend whom I've known for, oh, fifteen years or so. I consider us to be close, but we don't have the kind of relationship that facilitates a lot of touchy-feely talk. I usually vent more to my gal pals and just kind of dork around with him. But anyway, he's my buddy.

He's really quiet about his feelings. I mean, I would have to really press him, I think, to squeeze out honest feelings on certain topics.

I don't particularly know why that is other than he's a guy, and men are a mystery.

I've been fed a lot of the stereotypical crap pertaining to men and their feelings, namely that they don't want to talk about shit and that they are fine and just need to process things on their own, all of which I believe is subjective. Regardless, I don't press him. If he doesn't want to share all his thoughts and feelings with me, that's his prerogative, and I've always taken him to be a pretty private person.

Recently, his dad passed away from a heart attack. I haven't noticed any change in my friend. I don't actually know what his relationship with his dad was like because we met as adults, after we had long-since left our parents, and it hasn't been a topic for extensive conversation. I've gotten the impression that it may have been a strained relationship when my friend was a kid, but other than that, there's simply no data. However, I'm sure it's a hard time for him, losing a parent.

History shows that if I ask how he's coping or if he's okay, he will brush it off, and we're currently not in a position where we can hang out in person.

I guess my question is, if it seems like he doesn't want to talk, should I just leave him alone? Do men really prefer to process stuff by themselves? I've read a lot of things on your blog over the years about how men get neglected in this respect, and I don't want to assume it's irrelevant to him whether I ask or not, but like I said, I get pretty nonchalant responses (or no response at all) any time I venture into emotional territory with this guy. Just don't know if showing concern will be any comfort to him or maybe just an annoyance.

Showing compassion is almost never an annoyance. And unless he's asked you point blank to stop, then he most likely doesn't mind. Just don't do it in a nagging way, where he feels like you're trying to get him to open up to satisfy your curiosity instead of being concerned about his wellbeing.

If you want a way to ease into an emotional discussion, you can try starting the conversation by talking about your emotions. If your father has passed on, talk to him about how that makes you feel. If he's still alive, talk about your worries about what might happen once he's gone. That could get him to open up about his own experiences under the guise of helping you. It might not work, but generally men start talking more if you give them a problem to solve instead of outright asking them to talk about their own emotions.

But even if you don't do that, or it doesn't work, just saying something like "I know we don't talk about this stuff a lot, but if you ever need anyone to listen or help you with anything, I'm here for you" can be enough. A lot of men can live for years off of just hearing that once from a friend who means it.

My top 10 favorite Arashi's Music Videos

To celebrate the 25th anniversary and the fact that MV are now available on YouTube (what a time to be alive...) I wanted to compile a top 10 list of my favourite Arashi's MVs. And it turned out to be quite hard. My last cut from the list ("truth") was painful. 😭 But I did it.

Just couple of things before we start.

This is my very subjective list. If your favourite MV isn't here, I'm sorry, we just have different taste.

I'm choosing basted on the MV itself. For example, I love "I seek" as a song; it's my go to karaoke song, but MV for it is... Not my cup of tea to say the least. In other cases, like "Bittersweet", live performances outshines MV itself.

MVs are in chronological order. Don't make me rank them, I can't 😭

And now, without further ado...

1. A･RA･SHI

What can I say? It's their first MV, it's their debut song... It's iconic. It's also nice to see how far they've come. They are still babies here. 😭

2. Kitto Daijoubu

I honestly forgot about this until I was watching all MVs on November 3rd. And omg, it's so fun! The bad green screen, 4th wall breaks, rainbows, Arashi acting silly... it has it all!

3. Happiness

Let's be honest: you knew this was coming. If someone held a gun to my head I asked me to choose one of Arashi's MV as my favourite, I'd choose "Happiness". Aeons ago, someone said that this MV is 100% Arashi in Arashi and I can't disagree. You have it all: Arashi acting silly, pure chaos, Ohmiya... A LOT OF OHMIYA. And some small moments for other pairings too. xD

And it was also the first MV of them I saw.

4. Crazy Moon~kimi wa muteki~

This maybe an unorthodox choice because it's a very simple dance MV... And that's the reason I chose it. Arashi don't have any other video like this. Just them dancing to the song in an empty hall. Without any backdrop or outfit change. They had to sell it to us by just dancing. And I think they succeeded. The choreography is interesting and bravo to the stylist because I think they all look so good here.

5. My Girl

Story MVs are rare in Arashi videography. Practically just "Aozora pedal" and "My Girl". And since my best friend hates MV to "Aozora pedal", I have to choose "My girl" xD

But in all seriousness, it's really cute story where Arashi play siblings who are moving out of their family home after the death of their mother. Their mom is Photoshop monstrosity made of different parts of members' faces xD But MV it's cute nonetheless.

I remember all the fan fiction this video inspired... Good times... xD

6. Troublemaker

This is the first MV I remember waiting for. And I don't wanna say it is here just because of nostalgia. I think it's just really good video on its' own merits. I like stop-motion sequences, I think those suits are impeccable outfits and... there's a lot of Ohmiya. xD Look, I'm a simple gal, if Ohno and Nino are acting cute together, I'm putting the video on this list. xD

7. Aozora no shita, kimi no tonari

I think this maybe another unexpected entry. It's not a very popular MV. It's very simple. And maybe that's why I like it. It was shoot in outdoor locations; stylists again done wonderful job - they all look so good. I love their individual shoots, especially Aiba sitting on the edge a platform looks angelic. And the bbq at the end... ♥ This MV just feels cosy.

8. Fukkatsu Love

It's just good, I don't know what else to tell you guys. I love the parts they shoot in those long takes... Touma is there! It's just so good!

9. Don't You Get it

Another obvious entry I think. They all look good here, they all acting goofy, Sho and Nino do magic tricks, Ohno has hilarious face expressions whenever you pause the video, there's a doggie and Ohmiya dance (I've told you, guys xD)

10. Do you...?

We started with the their first MV, it's appropriate to end at their last. (AT THIS MOMENT! I HOPE 😭) "Do you..." if wonderful homage to Arashi's journey, full of easter eggs to all the previous MVs. And it might be its' only flaw - that it doesn't work so well in a vacuum. But if you were on November 3rd 2020 when this MV and Arashi's last album dropped, you were feeling it. You were crying, you were smiling and you tried to notice all the references to previous MVs. Maybe even at the same time. xD

And that's all. 😊 Thank you if you made it here. Please let me know your favourite MVs! As I've said, this is very subjective list and I had to cut off a lot of MV I love to make it just 10 videos T_T.

Hi ♡

Analysis of why I think my oc works oddly well in assassination classroom ♡

@lunanitic-moon encouraged me abit so sure why not hejbdndjbdnd. Tagging @soratsuart too since she is also someone i have rambled nonstop to ajbsjdjsj

"Analysis" (which is just me going feral over parallels) Under a read more just so people who dont wanna deal with this don't have to and all

There will be spoilers not many but still spoilers! <- for my friends who are wanting to watch it for the first time

Also didn't realize uhm. I finished writing by this point and it might be an incoherent jumble sorry....

Art of Scarlette Younge (said oc) above

SO .

Tldr the way she gets put into the place is accidentally seeing the kids trying to assassinate Korosensei when she just went on a hike to kinda bird watch / see the scenery, debating on if she moved to Japan or if she's a tourist type who ended up getting abit more stuck than intended

either way she didn't realize there was even a school in the mountain alongside doesn't even realize Korosensei is. Alive. "Oh mascot costume" / "Oh a Kraken???"

Overall she assumed the kids and some guy in a costume were playing or something and was about to leave and carry on her life before karasuma catches her and. Now the government is having her work at the school as legally a teachers aid because (still IFFY) but . Probably cuz need more eyes and maybe keeping an eye on her via karasuma?

Either way she arrived after Irina does and before the assembly maybe adding a day or two between those in some sorta fake epside 4.5 or smthn

Now that that's over with, for the people who dont know scarlette herself is a monster hidden in plain sight, a human turned into one after an incident, alongside is surprisingly strong and lethal in her own rights, very good at avoiding killing people, and happens to have inhuman capabilities of her own. And she is hiding it from the government and everyone in E-Class, terrified they are going to kill her too

Korosensei and Scarlette parallels on the surface is very fun!

Both are monsters in some form and end up being better for it even if originally it was against their wills alongside have to deal with the government doing things

Korosensei is nearly unkillable and the governments desperate to slaughter him enough to listen to his demands

Scarlettes honestly also really hard to kill due to her own capabilities, and accidentally got herself into this mess, and now she's hiding herself from everyone so the government doesn't give her the same treatment as Koro,

As Koro himself states. "The world wouldn't let something like me live" and all

Korosensei having been the Reaper originally. Intimately familiar with how to kill a man. Finally as his new life as a teacher, using those skills to help rather than Hurt now

And my funky gal scarlette, is also very aware of how to kill a man, the thing is however her mother trained her to Avoid the vitals in a fight

Scarlette is a skilled fighter due to her mother's insistence she learn for her own safety, and in the end scarlette ended up keeping all that knowledge and skill in her mind, before she became a monster she had strength but after? She got stronger, in the end she's unassuming. A small lady who's chronically socially anxious, so pitiful, and surely can do no harm. Meanwhile she's aware of how to beat someone up and not kill them.

Annnd I like to think, she was able to hit Korosensei

Hear me out I swear I have a reason.

I think its fun and I'm being self indulgent here

She has enough simularities to Aguri i like to think that when Korosensei had been interacting with her that clouded his judgement abit, bonus her being genuinely distressed about having to be at the school early on, plus her general endearingly pathetic nature.

rambling ingeneral now its more how I picture interactions going .. this isn't even parallels anymore woops

His guard was let down when he reached over to make sure she was okay after seeing her quiet in the corner having a moment, and grab her attention, however she had been disassociating due to stress and the overwhelming overstimulation of wearing clothes she hated on her skin just to hide her inhuman features, and she swung as soon as she realized someone touched her. Landing a successful hit on him, and also gaining the respect of the students, and Korosensei realizing he shouldn't be looking at who this new woman reminds him of, but rather at herself. And he saw that punch was full of unbridled Terror, no bloodlust at all.

He ends up praising her, afterall, she landed a hit so hard it slightly launched him before he dashed to a safer area, however she's deeply distraught and genuinely apologetic. Now people want her to join the assassination and she's coming up with many excuses on why her capabilities wouldn't work out, he knows her tricks now so it wont work a second time, he doesn't have human anatomy her knowledge wouldn't work, she's bad with proper weapons she's better at fist fighting, etc etc.

He was the kindest person to her when she got stuck here, Irina being herself scared scarlette off and Karasuma also being regular also scared her off, the two likely begrudgingly having accepted babysitting duty towards a civilian

Korosensei however was kind from the get go, letting her feel welcome, giving her a chance to not feel entirely out of place. He likely wanted to see what she'd do, curious enough, and was pleased she was genuinely respectful towards the students, even if some were at first more against a new athoritive figure and kinda easily bullied her

Why would she want to hurt the guy? She sees him as a friend. Which ya know. Might be a bit concerning considering he says he'll blow up the earth like he did the moon, but.

He treats the students like people rather than simply lesser. She herself never had any adults in her life beyond her actual parents who helped her or were that understanding towards her, so him being kind to both her and the children makes her deeply respect and trust HIM quickly after just afew days most likely

Later on? He tries joking about her attack. If shes sure she doesnt wanna join the assassination. And she would be blunt about how she doesn't WANT to hurt him, and how she's genuinely sorry for attacking before, and how she shouldn't have been so outta it then, she will be more alert from now on and won't repeat her mistakes, but she also doesn't want to hurt Korosensei.

"If you want me to kill you, act like someone who I'd want to kill"

They both likely respect each other and, Korosensei definitely sees Aguri in her, but.. he definitely is starting to properly grow fond of the person scarlette is. An anxious violent but kind and well meaning individual, who would never be able to assassinate him, because she had no drive to kill. A drive to survive yes, but she has no capability to want to use her knowledge to kill unless deeply unwell in the moment.

Now a different segment....

Scarlette as a child was bullied and outcasted by her peers, she fought back when she was bullied and terrified her peers over winning them over, a child who eventually lashed out and tried desperately to gain the attention of anyone if she couldn't have affection. Her parents supported her but she was still deeply lonely.

Eventually growing quiet and self contained, she ended up finding a friendship in a boy around her age, but his intentions were to use her. he hurt her, made her his attack dog, and she just believed she deserved this since he was her only friend . Eventually confessing a crush, He rejected her so harshly she broke her self esteem . It's not that she loved him romantically, but that she was proven that she could never be loved. soon after she moved schools again, and found new people, but she was so desperate to escape the schoolyard purgatory she graduated early at 17 and became a shut in. Desperate to not have to be hurt again.

Sounds pretty good and close to E class

The outcasts shunned from the main building because they couldn't keep up with the crowd, who are always bullied to "set an example" and what not. The "low lives" of the school.

Scarlette understands these kids deeply because she was in a similar enough situation at their age, she wasn't in a classroom specifically FOR it, but she had no one on her side when she was all alone and being hurt by her peers and teachers who labeled her a problem child

Compared to Irina Karasuma and Koro-sensei, who do all have tragic pasts, never really had pasts similar to the kids from what I know?

Scarlette may slightly project onto the kids.. but she means well, and she's going based off of how she would have felt if something like that happened to her as a kid

Scarlette got called "sadly one of the better outcomes if an e class kids grew up" by lunanitic and . Yeah she really is

When Koro threatens to abandon the children if they don't ace the midterms she gets very very mad and yells at him, slightly projecting, but all the same aware that he's the reason they're okay, and if he leaves she will be forced to leave, and Irina and Karasuma won't stay most likely... so who would those kids have?

She herself never says her past due to how she "knows" someone will state it "wasn't that bad and she should have gotten over it by now"... but having told no one what happened to her, never telling her parents anything, her friends don't even know. She fully believes she deserved it all because she's an inherently bad person. And there's no one to tell her otherwise

I think it's funny, putting in someone who never thought they'd make it past 30 years old. Scarlette desperately wants to but feels it just isn't possible, like she doesnt deserve to, and then she learns of Korosenseis threat. And she just knows, she was probably right

Deeply self sacrificing to a concerning degree, getting harmed for the sake of others because she will survive the pain anyways, she will recover quicker than a human can. She would lay down her life for those who are important, and isn't that a beautiful thing to add to the series, when Korosensei is reminded of Aguri with scarlette :)

uhhhhhhhh tthere was no real ability to like. Think properly this is no doubt incoherent but like. If you have questions on my auing here or statement or whatever feel free to send or smthn I like thinking of this au..... I didn't write everything I have but like. This is a good chunk

Elevator Hitch Genderbending rambles (part one of maybe many)

Hello! Thought I'd flex a little of my research and talk about my designs. Obviously these are pretty fluid, but yeah!

Ms. Protagonist!! Oh the miss average lady you are.... That's really the core of her: average. She dislikes standing out and prefers high pants and a jacket that's loose with little/no scaffolding. She's very obviously feminine/a woman but likes to be a lot more lowkey about it

I like the idea of her having a perm...or at least having one at one point! Maybe the Co-worker convinces her to. But her hair is rather short and a little closer to her head than c!protag's. I'm very okay with her hair being less strict to the time period, since her masc counterpart isn't :}

A general "rule" I have for genderbends is to give or take about 4 inches if you're going one way or the other. She just radiates 5'3 woman to me. I apologize. She wears a cute wedge, which gives her about an inch or two.

70's makeup was much more simple/lowkey compared to the bumper eras of the 60s and 80s. There was a lean more for natural makeup, popularizing pink tinted lip gloss and the invention of cream eye-shadows. F!PT does closer to the minimum, lip-gloss and mascara, but nothing intense.

Oh Ms. Co-worker... Oh miss ma'am...

Some people may not agree with me on this one but I cannot resist a big lady opportunity. She very much is tall and broad-shouldered, but very confidently super feminine. She's already tall but loves a good heel so she gets to be even taller. as a treat <3

She loves fashion and has more outfits than triple the years she's been alive and she wears ALL of them. She also changes her hairstyle very often. Art above is just what I think she wears for the game events.

Her makeup is the 70's STANDARD. She does the whole thing and man does she do it well.

You KNOW F!CW is all over that pastel eye-shadow oh my goodness. She can get away with more eccentric/less work appropriate make-up since she's 1) gorgeous and it fits her perfectly 2) nepo-girlboss

Some more examples!

I won't go into insane detail about how 70's makeup worked--maybe in another post, though!

Normal Gal!!

Sorry for such a more low-effort drawing haha. Didn't even get her hair the way I wanted to...

She's also ! utterly average! Which is the point I think haha. She wears a similar outfit to canon with an office skirt that doesn't hug her form much and tights with a pump potentially like this

She doesn't wear any make-up other than mascara and a lip-gloss :} there is no blush/skin/eye definition to keep that sorta flat/off feel c!normal guy has.

Her hair is inspired by this! I didn't draw it totally properly, but it's rather short with two clips on the side and asymmetrical to keep the same gestures as C!NG

Hope this was at least to fun to read ^^! Will definitely be toying with their designs etc more in the future!

[wavesalwayscrash]

Killing people for no reason isn't exactly normal, so, by any chance, does that serial killer guy have any mental disorders? I hope I don't sound offensive. And I'm not trying to demonize disorders (I suffer from a few, lol). It's just that characters like these people usually blame their actions on mental disorders, so I was curious: Is there anything wrong with him that would cause him to just want to kill people? Or is he just fascinated by the thought of murder? Also, sorry, I always get their names mixed up, so I'm just going to describe him because I don't want to get it wrong. Also, do the others like Warlber? She's such a silly gal. So far in the preview pages, it really seems like not too many people pay her any attention other than Lain.'

I'm not going to apply any mental disorders onto Condor specifically for the reason of I don't want to demonize any of them. Condor's a super messed up guy and it wouldn't feel right or correct for me to label him with any disorder because of his role as an antagonist and his actions in the story. He's just a silly murder guy because that's how he is.

The explanation that I often go to is that Condor has a super high prey drive and anything smaller than him makes him want to hunt and kill it. There is also like, the smallest inspiration from the short story The Most Dangerous Game, where the reason he started killing cats was because prey and such were too easy for him and he wanted a better challenge.

and yeah! Warbler is well liked, though often pushed aside because of her age. Crane and Condor both love Warbler deeply, Lain likes her fine, Grouse and Mariner are tolerant of her. Canary also liked Warbler a lot while she was alive as well.
