hc that for their fifth anniversary Neil gives Andrew a joke knife, one of those with the retractable blade.

at first Andrew was like :/ but then he discovered the power he had in his hands.

no one knew of the existence of this knife, so Andrew, with Neil's acting skills, gave more than one Fox a cardiac arrest, like Matt, Allison, Dan, Kevin and obviously Wymack pretending to stab Neil .

Aaron and Nicky found out the hard way that the knife was a fake: Andrew was bored, Neil was gone, and Nicky was being annoying.

the fake knife was physically the same as another one he had, so the rest of the Foxes had no way to distinguish between the real one and the fake one.

Neil loves to steal it and pretend to dramatically stab his friends. (very dramatically) and more than once he has pretended to bury it in his heart after some "hurtful" word from Andrew.

HOLY SHIT THE TITLE DROP. WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS REFERENCING SAKURAGAKURE SOMEHOW BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT KAKASHI FINDING HEAVEN WITH OBITO STILL BROKEN BUT WHOLE, IN KAMUI... OMG...

HAHA ABOUT THAT TITLE DROP

Title drops are so sexy. But this is a weird example - I was working hard the entire story to find a way to drop that line, 'cause it's actually a reference to one of my favorite games and a lot of precious childhood memories (bonus points if you know what I'm referencing - you can actually compare/contrast the two games pretty well). When I started trying to dredge up a title I was having a lot of trouble, so @lazuliquetzal suggested that I use that line. I was kind of resistant, 'cause I do not like using song lyrics as the titles of my own fic (and poetry is on thin ice), but since I could tell what an influence the game itself had on the fic it felt alright.

It also directs the reader to a question I want them to ask themselves throughout the story - 'you call this a utopia?' makes you ask 'what makes a utopia at all?'.

The bait and switch is on the foundation of that question. The Q feels as if it's coming from a human mouth, and at first glance it has to be a person looking at Sakuragakure and denying that it fits the definition. Of course it's not Obito who asks, because Obito thinks he knows. The movement of Obito's character arc is towards asking himself that question - is towards him being challenged on his own beliefs, and accepting a different point of view. 'This' wasn't Sakuragakure - it was the shitty world that they lived in, and it was the space between Obito & Kakashi that caused them so much pain.

How could you call this imperfect world a utopia? How could you name your suffering as happiness? How could you look at the mangled remnants of the person you loved and call him perfect when he's hurt so many people? Why would you ever prefer the messy present to the nostalgic past - this cruel reality over a perfect dream?

Why indeed. To answer any of those questions, you have to ask what a utopia even is. Hopefully the reader has been asking themselves that question. I know my answer, but that's been informed by my own history and far too many years of niche Buddhism. I think it's a decent question to ask. I hope your answer is informed by the moments of perfect happiness you've had in your life. Thanks for the ask!

Three seasons of office romance...?

You know, while Gwen's over here with TMA s2 John levels of paranoia and fear, Alice, Sam, and Celia are really living out a darling office romance. And we are hERE FOR IT!

The fandom really said:

[silverlakes]

Finished Castlevania.

I knew everyone lived, cause i saw a gif , but they nearly had me going there for a second. Don’t get me wrong Alucard is my baby(and i am so glad he is okay) but i have a soft spot for stubborn ass heroes who survive things they shouldn’t through sheer force of will, so I’m glad Treffy is alright.

Very nice ending. I find it very refreshing when a show concludes nicely. It scratches an itch in my brain.

Now…what the fuck do i do with my life???
