#Neuro Delightful

[arctic-hands]

On that note where are all my cyborgs at this wonderful Disabilty Pride Month? I'm talking about those of us with brain shunts, with insulin pumps, with prosthetics that need charging, bionic eyes, implants that control seizures, pace makers, anything that makes Luddite philosophers and eugenicists and those who scream about the natural order of things AFRAID when they realize these kinds of things aren't in some futuristic sci-fi transhumanist horror story that's a metaphor for "natural" human resilience but something that is happening RIGHT NOW to REAL LIVING PEOPLE and we are alive and THRIVING by this wonderful technology yet constantly afraid of this technology we're dependent on no longer being supported by the for-profit companies that make it or the technology being damaged or medical or tech infrastructure going down in the supposed revolution because not even the leftists think about us.

Anyway, here's on for us! 🤖

[laslow]

[ 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐒 ] [this is senno]

" ugh, what the... you! over there, your name, you, grr, you... LASLOW! "

sennō approaches as though he is angry, but truthfully his spirit is just ugly and so are the expressions he makes. there is something behind his back, but he keeps it so fiercely hidden that there is hardly any way to tell what it is.

" you, " sennō growls, lancing laslow with his under-brim gaze. " the swordsman with the loose tongue. oh, how i have heard your flirtations... your foul words, devoid of all meaning or reason! how much air you have wasted, and how much i have been forced to hear it! i may have been stuck in PRISON, but your words were torture all their OWN. "

from his back sennō produces... a bouquet of fine flowers. their petals are silken and vibrant pastels, and the scent that wafts from them is gentle. pleasant. perhaps realizing what this gesture means, sennō suddenly rips it away. " DO NOT GET THE WRONG IDEA.

" but i would assume that a scoundrel like yourself ought to know something about flowers, since your targets like those. probably. " his eyebrows pinch together. " i am in need of identification. these are apparently good for medicine, but the man i purchased these from would not tell me their names. so you will tell me instead. "

Five Senses

Aw, beans.

He knows what that tone of voice indicates--a man angry on behalf of a girl. Laslow hasn't flirted with any girls in relationships recently! So this guy must be a relation of some sort. Brother, maybe, or a cousin.

Steeling himself, Laslow spins on his heel, hands already up in a placating gesture. His eyes narrow. How does this guy know his name? And why does he look vaguely familiar?

His hands drop, one falling to rest atop the hilt of the sword belted around his waist. One foot slides back, knees bending ever so slightly. Just in case, of course.

Swordsman with a loose tongue? He prefers dashing swordsman or handsome duelist, thank you very much. Laslow winces internally. Sheesh, why is this guy going on a personal attack? It's not like--

Prison.

This is the guy who was after Ophelia, right? Laslow doesn't hesitate; his sword is half out of his sheath before S-something can finish unveiling the flowers cleverly hidden behind his back.

Lips part to offer a particularly scathing retort but S-something keeps talking, rudely asking for help on top of yet more insults about Laslow's...tendencies. No wonder the poor flower merchant wouldn't say anything.

The grip on his sword tightens. Laslow does indeed recognize a few of the flowers--lavender, ginkgo, foxglove. His upper lip curls into a sneer. "No."

There's a dozen things he wants to say, but this guy clearly thinks Laslow's voice is just a waste of time. "Perhaps the clerics can help, since I'm such a scoundrel and all." His sword returns to the sheath with a dull click of metal striking metal. He needs to go warn the poor infirmary staff before S-whatever starts yelling at them.

✿ Pick A Card: Traits/Aura of Future Spouse ✿

•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○

•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○

✿ Pile 1 : Clarity & Generousity ✿

✿ The Giver ✿

Your future spouse is very much advanced when it comes to deep thinking into ones own conscious. They know how to separate their own intuition from the mental chatter that is going on in their heads. The clarity of their intuition is a sweet, simple fruit that tastes familiar to them. The mental chatter is a bitter rind that they peel off and chuck into the garbage (or compost heap, when their mental chatter seems to be organic cx ). They are also very generous, they will shower you with compliments, gifts, anything they can physically give to you. I'm seeing the giving tree in my minds eye. They will always be there for you and will love to be the one that you count and depend on. No matter how much, or how little they have, they will give, give, give. They intuitively know that there is enough to go around, and the main key is to allow it to keep going so the cycle can continue on forever- without stopping. If they don't give it is like they are the one person in the stadium who doesn't do the wave.

✿ Future spouses Aura: Green tones ✿

Your future spouse may have a green thumb and devle in green magick. If you don't know what that means, they are a master planter when it comes to bringing green life into fruition. They may also be rich as well as green is the color of money. Green is the heart chakra, they have many love to give when it comes to you and their heart chakra is forever open you those around them. It is quite infectious! They have unconditional love, empathy, and emotional equilibrium. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) 🌱✨️

•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•

✿ Pile 2 : Trust & Warmth ✿

✿ The Gentle Giant ✿

Your future spouse has trust in the divine universe and is very brave when it comes to knowing that everything will be fine in the end. They have this instinct knowing in their gut that everything is always going to be okay. They rather live a fun life with trust and confidence than be a defensive weiner. All their focus is geared towards warmth. They let it guide every interaction that they have with all beings, little or big. No matter how other's behave, they choose to respond warmly. With warmth, they can melt any icy exterior. They can soften any hard feelings. They have adopted the saying "kill them with kindness". Omg pile 2, I'm hearing "Cuddly Teddy Bear"! Your future spouse is a Gentle Giant and they choose to be the kind one in every and any situation. They have lived many lifetimes. This is not their first time around the block. Their empathy shows no bounds when it comes to you and others in their vicinity.

✿ Future Spouses Aura : Blue/Purple & Indigo ✿

Your future spouse uses their throat chakra a lot to convey sweet and empathic messages to the world. They do not shy from spreading peace and positivity out into the world. They are also very much in tune with their intuition and gives trust to the universe to guide them and give them hidden messages. They are very self aware and give into their gut feeling and 6th sense. I'm hearing when you two meet they will know instantly as you are litteraly the person that they have been having constant dreams about. Omg this is so cute pile 2!! I love this for you. 🌠💫✨️ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○

✿ Pile 3 : Individuality & Boundless Love ✿

✿ The Alien ✿

Your future spouse was definitely the black sheep of society. Pile 3, I am going to be honest with you- this is the pile that I had a bit of trouble getting energy from. Your future spouse is very independant and they like to be lowkey. Take what you may with that information. Okayyy, now back to the reading. I'm hearing they may have a mental illness (Autism, Schizophrenia, OCD, ADD, etc) that has caused them to look through the lesnses of life with their own flare and style. Im hearing Neuro Divergent. They show delight in being their own quirky person, even if they connect with their friends/family/siblings/children/cousins/cats/dogs/sea monkeys- they see the unique beauty in being their own (sometimes crazy cx ) self. It's alright if their near (or far) and (mostly) dear ones don't always understand them. To be honest, they kinda take it as a compliment. Because of being a black sheep/ alien can cause isolation to some, they have developed an amazing super power- boundless love. They made sure to have their heart open for everyone so they can be known as a person who is just flipping wholesome! On the outside they may look a bit eccentric, or odd looking... but once you get to know them you'll see how multi faceted and just delighful they are! (: They understand that the world is filled with tiny miracles, with this in mind it is quite easy for them to fall in love over and over again, with anything from the honey bee's to neon signs. Whenever they are feeling inspired to love- everything sort of just falls into place.

✿ Future Spouses Aura : Light Tan / Blue ✿

They are so unique! Omg, Light tan is connected with brown. They are very earthly and in tuned with the inner core of the world. They may have had emotional trauma and learned coping mechanisms as a child to deal with it. With the additions of blue, they are in tuned with their throat chakra. They do not shy away from saying things that come from their uniquely structured brain and will have a blast partaking in deep thought provoking conversations with you! 🧠🗣✨️(✿◠‿◠)

Hi) I'm back! With new style and with increased abilities!

Agregor on DA and Tumblr, and Neuro Oni on other social networks.

I draw all my arts by myself (without artificial intelligence intervention) Currently I am in the process of playing through the game Baldur's Gate 3 (a cult series of games set in the world of Forgotten Realms and a system of rules and combat from Dungeons & Dragons) And I'm absolutely delighted!) In style, it is very reminiscent of the old game Neverwinter Nights 2 and the first Dragon Age. The whole thrill of these games is that the party members (or NPCs) you meet in the game’s plot behave as if they were alive - they interact with you and with other characters. They love, hate, tease each other. With them you can start and develop a love line (romance)! Of course, I started playing as a character - a tiefling - a cross between a demon and a human.) They are my favorite race since the days of Neverwinter! And, of course, my crush in BG3 was none other than Karlach. Despite the fact that she is also a tiefling, a barbarian, a berserker, with the appearance of a biker’s girlfriend and with a mover instead of a heart, she turned out to be very kind and humane) That's why my first BG3 art is dedicated to her!

Soon expect new art from me on BG3 and more)

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN! PLEASE, NOTE ME, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED

[elle-rosewater]

So The Argonauts is a freaking masterpiece but also I gotta tell you- this is so weird- but I read your beautiful fic years ago, (and re-read, and re-read...) and I always thought Bucky and his feeling of leaving his body, the twitching in his sleep, was so relatable.

I have "episodes" but I'd swear up and down I'm not epileptic. And so recently I remembered The Argonauts and thought to bring it up (the weird episodes, not the fic lol) to the neurologist.

The Argonauts inadvertently helped me get diagnosed. I have dissociative psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.

So this is super weird but thank you! Idk if that's actually what you were going for when you wrote this fic and fleshed out Bucky's issues, but it was a depiction that was extremely accurate to me & my experience and the realism of it helped me get the answers I needed, in a roundabout way <3

Anon, are you serious?? Even if you aren't, THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD. It would have been hilarious if you gave your neuro the long, drawn out version where you did indeed mention the fic before making your point about the weird episodes lmao. FIC CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I'm so happy to hear that you got the help that you needed! It's such an honour to have been able to help in a small, weird, roundabout way! What a world! What are the friggin' odds FOR REAL? I'm delighted to hear this, honestly.

heh and thank you for saying such nice things about The Argonauts <3

Shiver's Fics of 2024

As inspired by Scoops, I'm rating all the fics I've written this year from least favourite to most favourite :) I'm not counting cowritten fics, so Sexmas isn't on the list.

A lot of this year was tied up in writing two novel length fics that have yet to be posted, so it's been predominantly short oneshots out of me but hopefully that's set to change in the next couple months!

In 9th place: A Phantom's Touch. I don't dislike it, not at all, but I was writing it alongside several other fics at the time and basically just got to a point where I was writing it just to finish it. I still like the basic concept and wish I'd have the foresight to give it the time it deserved because I think it could have been really, really fun.

8th place: Peace In My Ear. This was written based on an old prompt from my and Neuro's unholy doc of smutty ideas. Again a fun write, but because I was writing it with a deadline and I am so, so terrible with deadlines, it got rushed and looking back on it now, I would do parts of it differently.

7th place: Faulty Wires. This is the fic that reminded me why I don't like writing phone sex lmao. I went right from writing Peace In My Ear to this, which is just a heck of a lot of e-sex to write in the span of a few weeks. That said, I rated this one higher because I think the idea is both more fun, and my writing feels like it flows a bit better to me.

6th place: Levels Of Detail. I reread this fic as I'm making this list because honestly? I didn't remember it whatsoever. I think it's a fun idea and the first 3/4 are lovely, but I wish I'd developed the ending more. I think I fell into the classic "I just need to get this thing finished" trap I tend to with it and should've taken a break to recharge before writing the ending.

5th place: In Safety There Is Bravery. Now this is a fic I really look back on and enjoy. I had a blast exploring a version of Dream whose size kink leads him to want to be the smaller one between him and his partner. I've not written him that way before and it was fun. This was also a fic in which I explored some insecurity for the first time through writing, and it was an important stepping stone for me as a writer that I'm now using in other works that are yet to be posted.

4th place: Illuminated. Here it is, the sequel to the fic that nearly killed me dead. I never thought I'd touch the Golden Roots, Yellow Velvet universe again, but Sam fit so perfectly into it that I just had to let him have his moment in the cuck chair spotlight. It ended up being some of the most fun I've had writing this year, and I do have plans to continue the breeding bench series!

3rd place: The Games We Play. Something about this fic changed me on an atomic level to write I think. It was just one of those ones that sort of possessed me while I was writing it, you know? Everything about it felt like it fell together naturally in my mind and the words were easy to find. George's brattiness, Dream's desperation, all of it meshed together into something I'm really proud of and that's why it's earned the top spot of my shorter oneshots for the year.

2nd place: September Blossoms. I wrote this fic while I was going through a pretty hard time, and I credit it with helping me to keep looking forward at the time. Flexing my creative muscles to create my own little version of omegaverse courting rituals was a delight, and then putting them into practice was even more so. I don't know exactly what all clicked together for me on this one, but I feel like it's some of the best writing I've done to date.

Winner winner chicken dinner: Honeysuckle Jam. C'mon, how could 1st place go to anything other than HJ? It's a big, big turning point for me as a writer as the first novel length work I've written, and the first big project I've managed to complete. Writing a novel has been my dream since I was a little kid, and for those who don't know, I had given up on it a decade ago when I lost all my functional reading and writing skills due to a health problem. Back then, I would have been fucking thrilled to write something that was 1k and mostly coherent, and now here I am, having completed and posted a 70k fic and with two more on the go that'll be even longer and more complex. HJ healed something within me very dear to my heart and for that, I think it may always hold the number one spot for me.

[mysticaledelusion]

watching star trek w/ my autistic brother is delightful because whenever spock does something a little neuro spicy (which is all the time tbh) he'll say smth like "just like me fr" and "they've been traumatizing this man since 1965"

10/10. love his commentary

Vio Submission for Neuro SS

“Wow, Jakob! You look great in your new outfit!” Sharena says as she pokes her head into the Order of Heroes’ dressing room. “I gotta say, I think Niðavellir couture feels very fitting for you!”

Jakob raises an eyebrow at her in the mirror, a small smile on his lips. “Your compliments are much appreciated, Princess Sharena. I find it shares a bit of similarity with Nohrian style, with some color schemes and tailoring methods found in both nations’ clothing.”

There is a meticulousness required when working with seiðjarn constructs, which Jakob can appreciate. Each component must be carefully measured, crafted, forged so as to fit together in a precise manner. Each rune must be carved with deliberation and at the perfect depth, not a single stroke out of place. Each node of power must be filled with the exact amount needed and set in just the right spot. It is a delicate balance the likes of which the dvergar are experts at striking, as surely as their hammers meet their anvils, and it is evidence of a vaunted tradition passed down from generation to generation. Now Jakob is not a blacksmith and would not profess to any skill in the art and science of seiðjarn, but… is not service as a butler so very similar? The silver and dishware must be polished to a spotless gleam, arranged so that each is within reach for use. The rooms must be swept, dusted, and mopped so that even the slightest speck of dust cannot be found. The tea must be steeped with a discerning hand, brewed so that it is neither too strong nor too weak but delivers all its flavors as a delightful and refreshing bouquet. The daggers must be kept oiled and sharp, finding their marks in the enemy’s weak points for the swiftest and most efficient takedown. And of course, the uniform must be worn with nary a wrinkle or stain in sight, perfectly pressed and perfectly fitted, presenting the exemplar of the highest-quality service that could possibly exist. An excellent butler works as smoothly as a well-oiled machine, or so the saying might go.

Jakob adjusts the cravat, fastening the golden gear-embellished pin to it. He tucks the puff sleeves of his white shirt, quilted instead of pleated, into black bracers, his hands covered with sleek black leather gloves. His vest hugs his frame in an elegant dark purple, clean lines accentuated by the gear buttons holding it closed. A matching strap sits atop his slim black trousers, black knee-high boots covered with shin armor trimmed in gold and violet. His sleeveless black outer tailcoat gleams in the light, having been freshly buffed; a golden braid loops over his left bicep, held in place on his breast with an amethyst set in a gear brooch and left to dangle as a tassel. A hair ribbon fastened with a gear pin completes the look, and Jakob scrutinizes his appearance in the mirror once, twice, before he nods in satisfaction. Not a single piece out of place, not a wrinkle in sight. It is spotless, having not yet been worn until now. Like this, he looks the picture of a Niðavellir butler, ready to serve. It will not obstruct his work when serving Lord Corrin, nor will it get in his way in the heat of battle. He has seen to this personally, as no such thing as too much care exists when it comes to his lord and, by extension, his own appearance.

The outfit possesses much in the way of personalization. Jakob slips his daggers into their sheaths and then into a variety of concealed pockets hidden throughout the uniform. When tailoring this outfit, he had ensured that he could draw a dagger from just about any place he could easily reach without harming the clothes or delaying his speed of draw. Thus, the uniform holds a myriad of hidden pockets capable of holding all of his weapons and making him look completely unarmed. It is only acceptable, after all, that a butler be able to defend his liege with any means possible, and what else is he to do but make sure he is armed to the teeth while still presenting himself as the perfect butler, a poised and elegant gentleman? He must say, he is terribly proud of the work that he put into this uniform. All the research that went into it, all of the tests and material searches, all of the late nights spent sewing into the wee hours of the morning just so that he could make certain that every last little detail had been taken care of to perfection. Not that he would deign to brag, but if he were capable of creating art, this would, he believes, qualify as a masterpiece.

… But of course, nothing from him can be a better masterpiece than serving his lord Corrin to his utmost abilities. With one final straighten, Jakob exits the room, curious to see what his lord’s reaction to his new uniform will be.

“Wow, look at Jakob! He’s wearing something new today, or am I seeing that wrong?”

“He looks great! Wonder who his tailor is?”

“If anything, it’s likely that he made it himself. You know how particular he is about details and service. He probably commissioned the armor too, from one of our dvergar friends, no doubt.”

“Commissioned? Nah, if he’s that dedicated, then he probably made it himself! Easiest way to go when you’ve gotta have it to your specifications, right?”

“But can he fight in it?”

“Are you kidding me? Of course he can. Guy’s a nut for being capable in combat and defending his lord and whatnot. Can’t wait to see him in action, to be honest.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?! Let’s go get Corrin so Jakob can show off his fancy new clothes to him!”

Jakob smiles. Ah, what a fashionable way to be a butler in service to his lord and king Corrin.

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Listen I love FL he's such a scrunkly hehehehe such a blorbo, very happy shapes for my neuro divergent brain

My wife has joked to some of our friends that she's 86% sure that I'm a cryptid because of various factors (from being able to see well in complete darkness without any issues, calming down feral animals by just talking to said animal for a minute, etc).

And I'm thinking about FL with a reader that has cryptid energy and thinks he's just the cutest little guy ever hehehe like they're pretty weird in their own regard but they have a lot of heart and somehow have befriended lots of creatures throughout the world (from the regisvines to hilichurls to weenuts to the mushroom creatures, they're all about making friends)

*claps hands* hoyoverse make a character who is friends with Abyss Mages in a wholesome way, do it!!

you and Childe would get along famously since you both have a mischievous streak- when he's not on the clock, of course. your favorite activity is popping out from the shadows when he least expects it, acting like you've been there the whole time when you definitely weren't! he also adores how you become friends with any creatures you run across, ranging from cats all the way to the monsters of the wilderness (he swore he once saw you using an Abyss mage as a pillow), so he's not worried about introducing you to Foul Legacy at all

Foul Legacy, on the other hand, IS worried- what if he's the exception, the one monster you find terrifying? he wants you to like him as much as he likes you!! so when Childe finally allows him to meet you, he instantly tries to lower his head so he appears more friendly, less intimidating. luckily his worries are for naught, because you think he's the cutest, most beautiful beast you've ever seen, laughing with delight and cupping his cheeks so you can plant a kiss on his forehead. now whenever you happen to see Foul Legacy you immediately run towards him, hoisting yourself onto his shoulders so you can mess with his hair and horns, putting little flowers that you found earlier in his ginger locks

you both give shiny rocks to each other as gifts :)

This Pride Month, Billboard asked artists to write a series of love letters to their LGBTQ fans, highlighting what the community means to them, as people and as artists. Below, MUNA‘s Katie Gavin expresses her affinity for a community that can “bend and transcend” barriers.

My Dearest and Queerest,

This love letter won’t be long enough. There’s too many things I want to say and not enough of a permitted word count. In fact, I wonder how I can express my love for this community in words at all, when words are so often what we strain and rage against — what we bend and transcend. One of the things I love most about us is the way we play with language and identity as if we can change the world that we inhabit, because we can. I delight in our late night living room conversations, where we debate over which words belong to whom, where our belief systems are challenged, where we reinvent our community over and over.

My love for us spills into all the different corners and crevices of the city under our colorful canopy. I love the twinks, the pillow princesses, the stone butches, the leather daddies, the bears, the gold stars, the transmasc lesbians, the closeted queers. The asexuals. The bisexual cis girls with armpit hair. The dolls. The black trans women who unceasingly create a culture and a beauty to which we all aspire. The nonbinary bois who don’t want top surgery and the nonbinary bois who do. The passing and the proudly clockable. The promiscuous and the celibate. The neuro-divergent and the neurotypical. The monogamous and the polyamorous. The queers that are in states and countries where they are safe to live freely, and especially the queers that are not.

One of the things I’m most thankful for about being queer is that it liberated me from fulfilling others’ expectations of me, and forced me to focus on what gives me joy. It also forced me to rely on others’ love and affection, to stop seeing myself as terminally unique. If we are going to survive the sixth mass extinction and live to know the next chapter of this world (lol), I believe it will be partially because we as humans learn how to follow and protect our joy, and how to cherish and invest in community. Ours is not perfect at this yet, but I still think the straights have a lot to learn from us.

What did I say — not long enough. I was just getting started.

Happy Pride. I love you. – Katie

[atomra]

oh~ ! We can ask about Neuro too? Nice! My question is! How much do you love Neuro and what made you like him so much! Go nuts! Gush as much as you want!

Oh. Um well... a lot. To say it simply. LMAOOOO!!!! But Ill answer the specific question first before I ramble on and on.

I got into majin tantei nougami neuro from the anime first, fell in love with the macabre, psychological horror aspect and needed more! I started to read the manga and noticed how different it was from the show, and how bad the show was in comparison. The dark humour is hilarious, I love the looney tunes style vs the dark subjects of the plot. And the ending of the manga is one of the most satisfying ends of a story I have ever seen in media!

I didn't actually get that attached to Neuro right away, but he grew on me like a cancer and now hes stuck there forever. I also love the main MC Yako! She's an absolute delight of a character and matches with Neuro perfectly. I need more of their weird sadomaso relationship <333 (I love most of the characters actually)

Ultimately I fell in love with this work because it's incredibly unique. I haven't read anything that comes close to the balance Matsui was able to make of the crazy, silly, dark, and story of personal growth that comes out of MTNN!

Okay now under the cut I will ramble about Neuro Nougami in particular because it will probably be long:

-

Neuro Nougami I didn't actually like as much before, because back when i first read mtnn i didnt know i was into bdsm and stuff. I also wasnt that okay with his tortures, because I used to be uncomfortable with liking villian-ish characters before I went to uni and learned more about the world.

Oh, how that changed.

On the face of his character he is silly, OP, selfish, arrogant, and a fucking asshole that hurts people for fun. And even when you get into his character, he is still all of those things, BUT I like him particularly for a few key features.

His curiosity and willingness to fail at something new. Neuro has basically no shame + all the confidence in the universe. He doesn't see anything wrong with failing or looking stupid. Its very endearing. You don't see that... if ever in other overconfident/intelligent sided characters. His pride never gets in the way of learning, because he loves to learn!! He's a bird!! Birds love to learn and often look like idiots doing it. (I love birds)

His want to find use in people, even if he only sees them as pawns. Don't get me wrong, he is an asshole and is MEAN on PURPOSE, but he does like to see the best in people. He wants them to be better and pushes people to become better. Neuro also puts respect in people that show this growth. Just like how he HATES when people give up.

His trust in people despite his need for control. Seriously, like this man is controlling as hell, but he still can put trust in people to do certain jobs for him and deliver.

And his way of learning where people's lines are despite his need to torture, harm, and push information out of people. Neuro never truly puts Yako in real harm (debatable) and he eventually learns where her loyalties lie and how to adjust to them. He learns to be good with people even though he has no understanding of human emotion. (so he says, he still feels emotions he just doesnt GET it)

THAT HE'S STILL SILLY AND NEVER BREAKS HIS COMPOSURE!! I LOVE THAT HE NEVER YELLS OR GETS SUPER MAD IN THE WAY YOU WOULD EXPECT A PERSON WITH OP POWERS TO GET!!! It makes him... so fucking scary. You never see where his limits are. You never see how much power he really has. You never get to see how far he will go to hurt somebody that wronged him. You only get tastes and its so fucking effective. I wish more characters were like this. Make me wonder!!

And of course, I love neuro for his weird use of bdsm. Its clear in Matsui's other work that he's done research, despite how comical and looney tunes it is displayed in MTNN by neuro. But my second read of MTNN when i was older now, I realized just HOW MUCH of neuro and yako's relationship is just... an odd bdsm thing. LMAO!!!

And I didn't realize how much that really engraved into my brain when i was younger until i read it over again. It made so much sense. For all the previous facts I mentioned, neuro is the only anime character who's threats I can actually take seriously. Because he is genuinely scary to me. That 'discomfort' as a kid made me realize stuff nowadays. Whoops!!! I love him because he freaks me out!!

Alucard gets so close, but not as hard hitting as Neuro. And I also like that he has a level of morality, and isnt just all fucking evil or gross. He's just a weird demon who eats mysteries.

Sighs, anyways I could go on but Ill leave it there for now. Thanks for asking!!! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!! He's so fun to dissect as a character!

Oh, and I hate his fucking suit. Burn that shit off. He's a weird goth and everybody knows it.

✩‧₊˚ Let's Get Confused!!! :D ✩‧₊˚

(Star Message 01 - 05 React-os!)

1) Wait, so you're telling me that Blade's storytelling put kids to sleep???

That's quite odd!

I mean, yeah, a lot of what he was saying was confusing the kids. But I would think that, with how animated Blade was being, it would still be entertaining enough to keep them awake. 🤷‍♀️

It's funny how polite Olivine is being about it---spinning it into a positive outcome. Bless your little heart!

2) Uh-oh! My workaholic wife is back at it again! 😂

My mans really does overwork himself...

If I were the Captain, I would've forced a ton of vacations onto him, too! :D

I personally can't really relate to this side of Edmond's personality---the obsession with his work. I'm the kind of person that has had to do way more work than I was comfortable doing in the past, to the point that my personal life was non-existent, but as soon as it wasn't necessary to have such a large workload I didn't push myself to keep up that insane schedule.

Edmond, on the other hand, has just gotten so used to constantly working, that at this point it's difficult to stop...

Maybe it's because he had that sort of schedule for even long than I ever did, since he's a noble? That, combined with his natural integrity/work ethic?

3) Eiden out here validating the fans' comments about the space-appropriateness of their clothes---

---and Blade giving a very reasonable explanation---

I like to think the the tailor also has a devious mind, determined to bring out the maximum sexy-potential of each project they receive (even if their "added elements" will require them to do an additional wardrobe-change later)!

It's also very possible that Eiden's collaborations with them have tainted their formerly-innocent tastes...

��😈😈😈😈

4) Edmond, sweetie---no offense, but HOW is this any more scandalous than your usual outfits??? 🤨

Is it because your stomach is showing?---No, that can't be it, because the ceremonial clothes in his Knightly Night SSR show his stomach.

Is it because your shoulders are bare?---No, because the shirt in the prison guard outfit of Vigilant Observer is sleeveless...But then again, perhaps the guards are expected to keep that jacket/overshirt on over the sleeveless shirt, so maybe that really is the reason???

I AM CONFUSION!!!

EDMOND, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU CONSIDER "MODEST!"

It is quite nice seeing Blade and Eiden being so supportive to Edmond, tho.

They see him feeling a little uncomfortable, and Blade immediately reassures him [of the clothes' utility] while Eiden hypes him up. It's so sweet!!!

5) Blade and his not-at-all worrying ideas °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Can I just say---I LOVE the fact that Edmond takes Blade's question seriously.

I (along with many other fans) see Blade as strong representation for neuro-divergent individuals; and IRL, many such people act "eccentric" or ask questions that people think are "silly/weird."

So, Edmond taking Blade seriously---just like he treats everything/everyone seriously---without getting angry or annoyed is such a delight! We love to see it!

6) I love it when Blade hops into Robo Mode at the most unexpected times!

It's funnier when the situation is less serious than this, but hey, I still enjoyed it!

Also, the voice-acting bit during this part was fantastic. Blade's voice sounds so cool!

7) Blade, honey---are you telling me you can catch a FUCKIN METEOR all by yourself????

BRUH.

I knew he was built to be a hella-strong sorcerer-murderer robot, but putting his strength in the context of earth-science terms makes it even more insane.

8) It's quite impressive how nonchalant blade is being about all of this... (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Like, he and Edmond just stopped a FUCKIN METEOR from crashing into the tower and killing people, and he's over here cracking little jokes!

What a legend!

9) So, as soon as I saw this---

---for some reason, I immediately thought of this;

Which is a fine and dandy meme, but I'd say that Blade is completely justified in his assumption that the thingy from the sky is alien tech; it isn't a crackpot theory, an thus, I wouldn't say this meme is completely applicable... But maybe I'm just being too picky with my meme-etiquette. :D

10) Wait, so this isn't even the first time that "starscape creatures" have sent a message to Klein?

🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

But from what I've gathered so far, the message is just supposed to be a sort of audio message---so how does he know about what kind of environment the starscape creatures live in???

Does the audio talk about where they live??? Do they speak the same language as they do in Klein, or is it somehow possible to interpret the alien language when given no context/prior exposure to that language????

11) Rei, no offense, but you kinda suck at explaining things....

Seriously.

WAT? ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?

Am I just stupid, or did Rei just say the same thing twice but in different ways?

I can't be the only on that doesn't get it, right?

Would this make more sense if I knew more about audio transfer, or like, how radio works???

12) *Voice dripping with sarcasm:*

Oh boy, how reassuring! 😂😂😂

I know for a fact Rei is perfectly capable of making people feel better, but I guess he ain't feeling very charitable right now! (Which, I would think he would be, since they brought him an interesting new thing to research...)

★ End of report! ★

This silly boy is 2 years old today ❤️❤️❤️

Learning to live with him and his neuro issues hasn't been easy, but he has been such a delight in the house, very kind to Bean and Nelly and he gave my wife a soft joy I hadn't seen in her before. Happy birthday, silly Boo Boo 🥰⭐
