Plot Holes in High and Low We Need to Discuss

@tiredlittlewriter always gassing me up 🤭🫶🏼 @cheshirecatuniverse @mrskenpachizaraki @books-n-guns

Thank you so much everyone tagged for staying up and talking about the movies with me last night😂❤

Trigger warnings before you start reading, this ramble posts contains spoilers for the movies, cuss words, mentions of character d3aths, mention of SA that happens to a character, and other violence and cr!me associated with the H&L franchise. Please don't read if you do not want to see any of these.

Anywaysssas as you can tell by the title of this post and this screenshot, we are talking about plot holes in the High and Low franchise that we need to talk about because they BUG THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

I would like to start by saying that I do love this franchise, it is my everything. It's not like I have anything bad to say about it, I love it as it is, but some of the stuff within the franchise definitely could've been more thought out. It could've been worse! So I am thankful it wasn't bad but there are some things I wish the writing team did a little differently.

Also, I do attribute a lot of the plot holes to 1) the creators not being entirely sure whether or not they would get a green light on more movies, 2) trying to make sure the movies made money (it's a business unfortunately and not just art), and 3) High and Low is a multi-media franchise so some stuff is probably explained in the mangas, TV shows, games, etc. I will contradict myself and discuss this more in detail as we keep going.

These are in no particular order, just what comes to mind first

S.W.O.R.D Era

1)Noboru and Miho's story

I have beef with whoever on the H&L writing team thought that condensing the 2 seasons of Story of S.W.O.R.D into Road to High & Low was a good idea. "It's both seasons condensed into one movie" THAT'S A FUCKIN LIE. So much of what is in the shows is cut out from the movie.

Tell me why I learned here on Tumblr that Noboru actually spent a while in a coma in the hospital after getting body slammed by a Kuryu car? And then Cobra and Yamato had to do the "IF YOU DIE I'M GONNA BE SO MAD AT YOU" speech you always see in Asian dramas to get Noboru to wake up?!

And tell me why I learned from a fanfic on Wattpad that Miho isn't dead?! She literally comes to visit Noboru while he's in the hospital. Road to High & Low frames the situation to make it look like Noboru goes to beat up Miho's SA perpetrators after he finds he d3ad in her apartment. Then when I brought this up a couple weeks ago the Discord besties told me she broke up with him through a letter😭 A LETTER GIRL?! HE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT FOR YOU! IF I WAS YOU I WOULD'VE KEPT HIM. NOBORU. GIVE ME YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE PLEASE GOOD SIR💍 (I'm completely joking I don't think anyone is entitled to another person's feelings, love, affection, etc. I'm just delusional because I love Noboru and Keita Machida)

Then I learned last night from Discord that Miho needs serious therapy because she was working for Doubt and it was addressed in season 2 of the show. Like HUUUH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

I do think the storyline between them as a couple and their stories individually definitely could've been explored and explained more. It was probably explained better in the show than RTH&L but I don't have access to the show so idk... which brings me to my first contradiction!

LDH AND EXILE TRIBE PLEASE MAKE YOUR MEDIA MORE ACCESIBLE GOSH. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SUB IT THAT'S FINE AT LEAST MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND SO THAT WE CAN GET FAN SUBS OR I CAN JUST WATCH THE RAW FOOTAGE AND PRETEND I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. There's so many films like the 2 DTC films, the Mighty Warriors film, the shows, even the manga that a lot of us don't have access to😭 Yes this franchise is multi-media but at least make the media accessible😭

2) Mighty Warriors working with Doubt

In the first and second High & Low movie MW and Doubt work together... AND THAT LITERALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Last I checked Mighty Warriors don't fuck with tr@ffickers in general so I don't even know why this happened.

And last I checked, MW rescued Sarah from Doubt so why would they work with Doubt when one of their members was literally a Doubt victim? That just doesn't make sense to me. Like yes the MW tend to just take up whatever whack-ass jobs for money they can get considering they fought with literal children (Oya and Rude Boys. I'm like 99.9% sure the Rude Boys members were all 16-19 and that is the age of children. Smoky might've been 20-22 which is not exactly a child but he's still young compared to the MW who were all mercenaries and in the military before they were musical bandits alluding to the fact they are older) but you would think that people who claim to have a club that is a utopia with music that is supposed to impact people positively and save their lives just like music saved the MW members' lives, they would have more moral and standards than to work with Doubt.... but I digress.

3) The alliance with a foreign mafia

This one I can kind of understand but also can't.

I understand that MW take up whatever job they can to make money. It's said directly multiple times in the movies by a MW member that there is no use doing a job for someone without getting paid so they do a lot of stuff just for the money. I also understand Doubt take whatever job pays them but also benefits their tr@fficking business. Hence why they took this job because not only were they getting paid by Lee who runs the Korean mafia but they could kidnap women in the S.W.O.R.D district which worked in their favor.

What I can't understand though is how this alliance even came to be. Hear me out. MW and Doubt will probably do whatever to get money, but where did the trust come from? Like how did they trust that a foreign mafia of all people would uphold their deal and pay them? Was it because Kohaku was made the front-man/face of the plan? Like did they believe that it would be fine because Kohaku was the one "leading" even though it seemed like Lee was pulling a lot of the strings? DOES KOHAKU EVEN HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE PAYING EVERYONE?! I SWEAR EVERY TIME WE SEE HIM THAT MAN IS JUST LAYING ON A SOFA IN A JUNKYARD! WDYM DOUBT AND MIGHTY WARRIORS BELIEVED THIS MAN WAS THE ONE WHO WAS GONNA GIVE THEM MONEY?!

4) Who the fuck are Bulge? And what happened to Kuryu?

In End of Sky, we learn that Bulge are interested in the fight between Doubt, Prison Gang, and White Rascals and would sponsor Prison Gang. That's why the scene where we see Jesse fighting with another prisoner, after he kicks him down the guards tell Jesse that Bulge wants to see him to. This is why Jesse and Prison Gang are released early. When Jesse goes back to Funk Jungle he's asking if Mighty want to join but Ice says that they are gonna focus on promoting Funk Jungle, but like he's a liar they show up at the fight anyways lol.

A the end of Final Mission, the movie closes off with a dramatic shot of Mighty Warriors and a typed out message stating "Hello, everyone. This is Bulge. The takeover plan has begun." We never get an explanation of who they are, what they do, etc. I did learn from Ryu's Wiki Fandom page however that "It is presumed that he and Bulge orchestrated the fall of Kuryu Group. In the music video of the MIghty Warriors' new song "Warriors Anthem", it is revealed that he took over Kuryu as the leader after the events of Final Mission, and having Mighty Warriors occupy the remaining 8 heads of Kuryu."

So who exactly are Bulge? How are they powerful enough to be able to take down all of the original Kuryu members who have been seen as indestructible the whole franchise? Why did they allow Ryu to be the new leader?

After Final Mission, the next media pieces that were released were the DTC show and DTC movie, and then we moved into The Worst era with High&Low: The Worst Episode 0 along with the two Worst movies that followed.

I had made the assumption that around the start of the Worst era the creators probably wanted to integrate more of Jr.Exile into the franchise because of their 1) popularity and 2) new stories. The popularity of Exile members like Hokuto and Kazuma would probably bring in more viewership which does good on the numbers and money side because as I said above, unfortunately this is also a business not just art. The H&L creators probably also needed new stories to follow because they can't keep adding to S.W.O.R.D

Vis said that they think the Mighty Warriors were probably dropped because we haven't seen anything from them since the third movie, but Taiga also brought up how the new Mighty Warriors music video was also dropped right around the time the most recent movie Worst X was released. This probably means they are trying to figure out the story within S.W.O.R.D behind the scenes and it's just taking a while to do the world building. Tired also brought up a good point that considering most of the actors in H&L are also Exile members, they have to also continue their jobs as artists so tours, making music, schedules, etc. are probably also clashing with filming and working on High and Low.

Hopefully that is the case and we see more because I have too many questions and no answers.

5) Wtf happened to Rude Boys, Nameless City, and Nikaido?

If you read my fics, you know that when I write about Nameless City after Smoky's passing, I write about how the Rude Boys, Lala, and Eri go and visit Smoky's grave all the time. About a month ago the besties in the Discord made it known to me that Smoky's gravesite and like 3/4 of Nameless City was completely blown up. I was like 😧when I read those messages because it wasn't even like a head-canon thing I genuinely thought that only a small section of Nameless City was blown up so we were fine BUT APPARENTLY WE AREN'T FINE. So what does this mean for the Nameless City residents?

Did they get government housing to stay in while they got tested for the disease from the pollution? Did the residents get released back into Nameless City after the whole casino project exposure? If they were released back into Nameless City, are they all just cramming into that little 1/4 of Nameless City that wasn't blown up?

What happened to Rude Boys afterwards? Are they all back in Nameless City? Or did they move to a different area? Where would they go though? Little Asia? Did Eri get adopted afterwards? Are they finding ways to make money like how they mined the crystal to get money to rebuild Nameless City? Do they even want to return to Nameless City considering the pollution from the toxic waste was causing the disease that killed their leader?

Wtf happened to Nikaido/Cain? Is he finally happy now that he purged his past? Was purging his past and killing his brother worth it? If Kuryu was overthrown and taken over by Mighty Warriors, what does that mean for Nikaido? Is he working for them? Was purging his past worth anything if he didn't even gain anything from it because MW took over Kuryu? Again, so many questions and no answers😭

6) Give us a more clear timeline

This isn't a plot hole, just something I wish the creators would do is give us a clearer timeline. We're never given any clear timeline of how much time has past between each movie or even how much time is between the S.W.O.R.D and Worst era. I'm always trying to calculate the timeline or everyone's ages based off of the only two characters we get ages for and Noboru's school timeline.

The only two characters in the whole franchise that we get ages for are Chiharu and Seki. At the start of the series we know that Chiharu is 20 because when he joins Sannoh, in the scene at the bar Cobra offers him a drink but takes it back and says "wait but aren't you underaged?" to which Chiharu replies that he is 20 (which is the legal adult age in Japan) and Tettsu makes fun of him for still being in high school as an adult (in good fun of course not in a mean way).

When we first are introduced to Oya, the narrator tells us that Seki is the oldest part-timer student there at age 25.

Noboru, Yamato, and Cobra were high schoolers while Mugen was still active. This is deduced by the scene where Yamato drops Noboru off in front of the school for the day he takes his exam, then when he opens up his college acceptance letter with them. I'm assuming Yamato and Cobra dropped out to be apart of Mugen and take care of their parents' shops. Then, we see when Noboru starts college but doesn't make it super far into his bachelors degree after getting sent to jail. We don't get to see how long he was in jail for, just that he was released early because Kuryu paid to get him out early.

I always use these ages and Noboru's vague school timeline to try and figure out the character's ages and shit but they are just estimates because we never get clear timelines from the creators. Like why couldn't they at least tell us how much time passed between the end of Final Mission and the start of The Worst?!😭anyways.... onto the next thing

The Worst Era (mainly X)

Like I said in the screenshot, The Worst isn't my favorite movie out of the franchise but I think it was the best executed in terms of plot out of all the movies. The plot was clear, very concise, and relatively had no plot holes. (I haven't seen The Worst Episode 0 so if there is something that is missing plot wise please let me know)

It was fun to see the cross with Housen and the themes and messages we got from not only the plot but also from each character were all really good too. It was a solid movie, no complaints.

The Worst X however... I have questions. It's not to say it wasn't good, I still liked it and obviously it was good considering I watched it with no context and it got me into the whole H&L universe, but I feel like it fell a bit short. There was more the writers could've done for not only plot development but character development.

1)How did that 3 school alliance actually even start?

From the movies, it seems like Kohei Amagai is well known as "the annoying son of the Amagai group". Like EVERYONE knows him and knows he throws around money to get people to work for him. And like yeah, we see when he is able to take control of the school with the beige uniforms because Senomon, Kamasaka, and Ebara are quite literally beating the shit out of them, but how did Senomon get Kamasaka and Ebara to cooperate?

I refuse to believe that Amagai was able to get Kamasaka who fight with weapons like brass knuckles and metal rods and Ebara who are all literal gym bros to join his stupid ass plan with just money. As dumb as I think boys are I don't think Reiji, Ghandi, Shoji, Raijin, or Fujin are actually dumb enough to join an alliance for money. Even if this alliance did win and take over Oya, what would they have done with each other afterwards? Those dudes have so much pride we all know that there is NO WAY they would all continue working under Amagai. Amagai is also stupid as hell if he thought he could be at the top without someone from Kamasaka or Ebara trying to overthrow him if he had taken down Oya like Kohei.... be fuckin for real bitch.

I need more of an explanation to this like someone from the H&L writing room please sit down with me and answer my questions so I can publish it in an interview for all of us we need answers.

2) What the fuck is the story behind Todoroki and the dudes from Ebara?

The whole time Fujin and Raijin are running around screaming about how they're gonna crush Todoroki and I literally sit there like

👁️👄👁️Why? No matter how many times I watch the movies because we never get an explanation! Idk was this in the show? Someone please tell me.

And like the scene after Todoroki beats up Fujin and Raijin, Shoji goes "you're different now" and I'm always like "Different? DIFFERENT HOW?! DON'T BE SHY SHARE WITH THE CLASS PLEASE"

Todoroki responds with something along the lines of "now I have friends to protect" which is so wholesome I love that, but what is the detailed history of him and the guys from Ebara? We never get that explained to us. I remember reading somewhere that Todoroki trained hard to beat his bullies and because he got so strong that's why he always tried to fight for the leader position because he believed he could beat Murayama. I also saw a clip on Youtube where when Murayama is fighting with Todoroki, he sees his old self in Todoroki who is being reckless which probably adds to Todoroki's character development.

Did the guys from Ebara bully Todoroki? Were they old friends who fell apart? Did they just have a bad run in when Todoroki was being a little shit and fought but now hold a grudge because they are teenagers with a lot of pride and anger issues and it's not that deep? Idk🤷‍♀️The thing that bugs me is the fact that their feud was added a solid amount to the plot and why Ebara joined then dropped the alliance so I don't know why we didn't get at least a vague explanation of who these characters are to each other.

3) Questions and what I want to see next movie

This obviously isn't plot holes but just some questions I have and what I want to see in the next installments of the franchise.

Why were these high schoolers doing THE FUCKIN MOST to see who was stronger?! The first time I watched I was so confused because why was this movie serious but also so unserious?! They did not need to be doing all that.

Why didn't Amagai get in any trouble for anything?! Is it because he has money?! Like how did this man commit literal crime and everyone was like okei. He literally kidnapped Tsukasa and tortured him for like half a day and 1 night...

How did Tsukasa not die?! The was literally beat over the head with a metal pipe, kidnapped, tied up, tortured, and then dropped from a balcony. I digress, he probably has plot armor as Sun calls it because how did he not die or at least end up in the hospital for a long time.

I want to see the movies circle back to the S.W.O.R.D plotline so it would be really cool if Amagai's little plan was part of a larger plan to break down the peace in S.W.O.R.D. It wouldn't be the first time the adults used kids to push their agenda. Kuryu originally wanted to use Murayama to tear down the peace in S.W.O.R.D because he used to look up to the man who was the head of Iemura but because he chose not to do it, they went after Noboru.

Maybe MW are thriving as the new heads of Kuryu so someone on the outside is trying to take over and Amagai's family is apart of that. Or maybe his family is trying to gain favor from Mighty and are working for them. Idk but it would be cool if we circle back to S.W.O.R.D and see the new Oya characters have to integrate into the S.W.O.R.D world also.

I also want to see a segment of how Rude Boys and Oya adjust to their new leaders.

I want to see what happened to the rest of S.W.O.R.D after the third movie. We saw Oya in The Worst era but what happened to everyone else? Which I also know these are probably kind of far fetched considering the Exile Tribe member who played Rocky is retired from the entertainment industry now... but a girl can dream I guess.

You made it to the end! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read this big rant. This wasn't proof read and is kind of everywhere but thank you for reading it anyways! ❤️

Online Dating In Clark County, Nevada

Let’s be honest, Las Vegas isn’t the first place that comes to mind when one thinks about trying to find true love or even necessarily a great first date and/or a fun, meaningful six month relationship. Instead, it’s the destination where you met that random guy you would never have looked at twice outside of Vegas, but – hey – you were wearing a sequin tube top and what happens in Vegas… You see where I’m going with this? But, here’s the thing, some of us actually live here. I know, I know. It’s a novel idea. And while most locals would rather endure an unmedicated root canal than drive to The Strip, park at a casino and navigate through drunk tourists double fisting foot-long margaritas, there are plenty of hidden gems throughout our neon oasis in the desert. Image via LinksmanJD on Flickr.

Fremont East

Until very recently, I lived most of my four years in Sin City a few blocks from Las Vegas Boulevard and while there really is a lot The Strip has to offer, more on that later, I would always prefer to get away from the tourists and the traffic and the blinding Ed Hardy get-ups and head downtown to Fremont East. Let’s keep it real, this is where the cool kids congregate and where some of the most fun, unique places this city has to offer are located. I suggest starting your evening at Bar + Bistro, home of monthly vintage bike night, for some tapas and sangria before making your way down Fremont Street to pop in and out of fun bars while making witty, flirtatious and, most importantly, funny banter. From the bar where you sometimes wish everyone didn’t know your name and your ex wasn’t permanently parked at the bar, The Griffin, to one of the best places to drink a beer and listen to live music, The Beauty Bar, to a place you can play your favorite arcade game while sipping on a vodka tonic, Insert Coins, to the only place in town I know of where you can get on a teeter-totter with your date, Park, the bars on Fremont East have it all. And if I could find a guy who would take me to my favourite piano bar, Don’t Tell Mama, he would pretty much have my heart forever. Image via LinksmanJD on Flickr.

The Beat

While I went here, Republic Bar + Kitchen, on my first online date in Las Vegas, I think the majority of people meeting someone from the internet for the first time worry about a few things: a) Can I make a quick getaway if I’m not feeling it?, b) How big of a time investment do I need to make for someone I may or may not have anything to talk about with? and c) Where is a safe place I will likely survive the first meeting if my date ends up being a serial killer? This is where coffee shops come to the rescue. Sunrise Coffee is definitely my favorite coffee spot in town and makes me feel like I’m back in Seattle (which, in my world, is a very good thing). They are local, independent, serve vegetarian and vegan-friendly fare and draw a crowd that my friends from back home would look at and say, “This is Vegas?” Last, but not least, check out The Beat for your first online date. If you end up with too many awkward silences while sipping your latte, you can thumb through their collection of records or stroll through Emergency Arts. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.

Nove at the Palms

For a romantic date in Vegas, I suggest taking your special someone to The Strip for a delicious dinner and then out to a show. One thing we have an abundance of here in Las Vegas is a plethora of fine dining options. But, beware, plenty of these options also come with a hefty price tag. Luckily, many restaurants here offer a pre-fixe menu with smaller, more affordable alternatives to their regular priced entrees. Some of my favorite meals I’ve ever had have been here on The Strip. For Japanese cuisine, and a meal that will still make your mouth water two years later just thinking about it, try Shibuya. I still dream about the rock shrimp tempura and the Kobe beef. Another favorite is Nove at the Palms. The dinner I had there is still imprinted on my heart and the view alone is worth the visit. Wherever you choose to dine for your special night, if you give it a quick ten minutes search of the best new restaurants on The Strip, you’ll find just the right one and definitely won’t be disappointed. Trust me. After dinner, I suggest taking in one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. You know I’m still waiting for someone to take me to see Michael Jackson ONE, but you really can’t go wrong with the Beatles LOVE. You’ll leave holding hands, singing songs and believing that all you need is, in fact, love. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.

Valley of Fire

Dating Service Las Vegas

For a casual date in (or around) Vegas, I have a few suggestions. If you hop on your card and head north with a packed picnic basket, Valley of Fire would be the perfect spot for a sweet lunch with a gorgeous view. Another option is taking a stroll through the botanical gardens at The Springs Preserve. A place that will be sure to impress, and if you bring your camera will provide plenty of vintage Vegas inspired photos, is the Neon Boneyard. This is the spot where the signs of Vegas yesteryear, or what I like to call the Elvis and Priscilla Vegas, have gone to their loving resting place. Trust me, your date will love it, but be sure to book a tour. If a fantastic, casual meal is what you’re in the mood for, please head to my happy place, Yama Sushi. Try the Sun on the Beach roll (I’m not kidding when I say it will change your life) and tell them Kathleen sent you. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.

The Golden Nugget Pool

For a fun and adventurous date, it would be fun to head back down to Fremont during the day for a swim at my favorite hotel, The Golden Nugget. There, you will find the most magical pool you’ve ever seen. Don’t believe me? TripAdvisor once listed The Tank as the only US pool in their Top Ten Most Amazing Hotel Pools in the World list. This is where you can slide through a glass-enclosed aquarium with sharks. Yes, you read that right. Look into it here. While you’re down on Fremont, take your date on a zipline through the Fremont Street Experience. These rides will be offered again in the fall. Another adventurous activity is a trek to Red Rock Canyon to check out the petroglyphs. Last, but not least, if you’re looking for an adventurous and very memorable date in Vegas, I suggest a helicopter ride over The Strip at night. An added bonus would be to softly play Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” in the background because, in this town, it is Vegas everywhere we are. Image via LinksmannJD on Flickr

Summary: After the battle of Hogwarts and after Ginny and Luna finished their formal education, living arrangements weren’t so clear-cut and normative. But what is normal when Luna Lovegood is involved? She has to tell her lovers and best friends that she’s breaking up with both of them to see if whom she has met while out exploring the world is a potential match.

Warnings: Indirect mentions of war-time events under the reign of terror with the Carrows. Direct mentions of homophobia and some self-loathing regarding a character’s sexual orientation.

Give me my demarcation line, damn it!

"Aunt Luna?"

She looked up from her copy of the Quibbler, looking over her multi-coloured glasses perched on the end of her nose. "Yes, dear?" While the years had been quite kind to her, minor infirmities were catching up, including needing stronger lenses in her multi-coloured glasses.

Lily Luna, now 15 going on 25 and still as curious as she was at 5, kept twisting her fingers with nervous agitation. "How did you meet Uncle Rolf? How did you know it was serious between you?"

"I was wondering when you were going to ask me that question," Luna glanced towards the doorway of the Potter cottage, seeing Ginny standing there giving a quizzical look. "And I think 15 is a good age to finally explain what happened, that is if your Mum agrees. What do you think Ginny?"

Lily Luna looked from her Aunt – Her Godmother and Aunt in all but blood but, as Daddy repeatedly told her, Family isn't necessarily blood but a choice. Facial expressions danced between the two women, faster than thought and maybe in line with using Legilimens between the two witches.

A lifetime later, or what seemed to be a lifetime, and Ginny relaxed before blowing a breath out. "Go ahead," Ginny spoke up, "And I'll be back shortly to answer other questions that I know are going to come up. But first, let me freshen up your tea. I know you're going to need it. While you're talking I'll pop over to the butcher for a beef roast for dinner."

Ginny disappeared for a few moments before returning with a pot of tea, a plate of biscuits, and some Ginger Newts for Luna. Luna had told her previously that Ginny made the best Ginger Newt she ever got, either at home or out on her travels. Ginny only made them when Luna was going to visit or stay a short while at the Potter cottage.

"It's a taste of home," she'd say often.

Ginny poured tea for two, and Lily Luna sat back watching in awe as she watched Mum and Aunt Luna quietly converse. One word escaped the conversation that left her boggled – "Everything?" Luna asked before Ginny said yes. "I will," Luna said back before Ginny planted a kiss on Luna's forehead and a very tender one on the lips. She left without saying anything else.

"The bloody hell is this about? Dad knows about this?" Lily Luna screeched.

"That, my dear, is part of the story. You asked and you shall learn. And yes, your father knows. He's always known."

Another demarcation line if you please!

Harry stepped out of the fireplace, exhausted from another gruelling training session in the field. Merlin knows that Robards was a bastard for scheduling it in the bloody middle of winter, in Scotland of all places, but to have it last a week was just too damn much. He threw down his rucksack onto one of the couches, seeing the stack of books on the table nearest to the fireplace. Hermione always kept a small stack there for the nights when the guys were working and Ginny was off at Holyhead. He looked at the table next to the couch, where an enormous stack of Quidditch Weekly magazines was thrown haphazardly. Ron and Ginny enjoyed reading them but Ginny wasn't as tidy for caring for them as Ron is, with the colour spreads laying over the arm of the couch or inside the crevices. On the table was an empty tray, crumb strewn plates of late-night snacks of cake and biscuits, or fresh fruit that Ginny was mandated during the season.

Not that he minded at all, not when her body looked absolutely incredible with her robes on the floor of their bedroom and her on top of him, riding him until he passed out.

And on the other table was a stack of Quibblers, some old and some recent. Luna, Merlin keep her, read everything she could get her fingers on. She'd already read everything in their personal library including some of the things that Hermione would bring home for her from the Muggle Library. She'd even read some of the darker history items in the private library which Harry refused to pick up after Hermione told them one night over dinner of some of the things she'd come across in her job and had to reference the material for a case study.

He absolutely loved his family, his found family. Vernon and Petunia might be called his family but he'd not called on them once, not since they drove away with Dudley that day before he turned 17. He didn't miss them at all. It would be like missing an ingrown toenail that had never been tended to, or needing glasses and never getting them. Some things related to his family were left to turn farrow and wither away.

But he did miss the two incredible witches probably fast asleep in their communal bed upstairs, one floor below the landing where Ron and Hermione had their room.

Officially, for anyone who asked, Luna's room was up on the top floor, up under the eaves, with enough room for her to paint and do magical art, at least when she was home. Her home wasn't the Lovegood residence, and it hadn't been since the war ended. While her father had been finally released from Azkaban, Luna and Xenophilius hadn't repaired their relationship yet, not enough where Luna felt comfortable to reside under her father's roof once more. 'How could I when you were willing to sell out Harry to save me?' she'd said in a row with him.

He doubted Luna ever would live there again.

Harry offered Neville to live at Grimmauld Place with the rest of Harry's chosen family but Neville, Merlin love him, rented a room far above the Leaky Cauldron, up under the roof overlooking Diagon Alley. After the events at Hogwarts that fateful night, Neville said that he couldn't stay with his grandmother ever again and staying with Harry was just too busy for him.

Sometimes the house was too busy even for him. While it wasn't as noisy as the Burrow, Grimmauld Place had its own energy with so many people living elbow to elbow in the middle of London. He still saw Neville at work nightly, doing paperwork like the rest of them, chasing leads and going out on missions trying to track down the remaining Death Eaters who had escaped that night. Other times he was in the Potions lab, working on something secret for Director Robards.

Harry toed off his grotty trainers and yanked off his robes and jacket, hanging them on the coat rack by the door to the hallway.

While Sirius hated the home and everything it represented, and Harry couldn't blame him in the least, Harry, along with Arthur, Molly, Neville, and Kingsley had transformed the crypt of a house into a welcoming residence for anyone who needed a place to stay. At some point in the last three years, almost everyone who had been in Dumbledore's Army had crashed at the Potter residence. Dean and Seamus would owl ahead first when they were going to be in or near London. He hadn't realized what they two of them meant to one another until Luna, in Luna candid honest fashion, mentioned how she and Dean had broken it off because Well, it's not like I'm interested in Dean sexually but Seamus is and speaks quite openly about it. Who was I to interfere? Anyway, we're still friends even if we aren't copulating anymore.

The only ones who hadn't crashed at the Potter home for wayward Wizards and Witches were Lavender, Parvati, and Padma. The three of them shared a flat off of Diagon Alley. He hadn't known for a year that Lavender and Parvati were an item and it was serious. Padma? She was too busy working to bother, so she said. Harry had no reason to doubt her since she was at work in the Law Enforcement office more than Hermione was at her work desk.

Harry went downstairs to the basement kitchen and the long table they all shared meals at – when they were actually home. Kreacher was snoring hoarsely, cutting logs from the cupboard he made as his own flat. It made Harry's soul ache in traumatic memory but Kreacher said it was spacious and cosy, so he said often. On the shrunken door was the bright green and silver R badge that was previously affixed upon Regulus' door upstairs – at least until Harry removed it and gave it to Kreacher who asked for it to be on his door to his residence. Out of respect, Harry and anyone else living at Grimmauld Place would knock first and wait. Kreacher said it was never necessary but Harry insisted.

A huge helping of Cottage Pie was under a warming charm on the table, along with the beer and pumpkin juice he knew was in the cooling cabinet. Those would wait. He needed to see Ginny and probably Luna, too. They were rarely apart when they were both home, with and without him in bed with them.

When he was off at work, or out on an extended mission, invariably he'd come home and find the two witches snuggled in the shared bed, fast asleep. He didn't need to know that Ron and Hermione were asleep as well since 3 am was even too early for Hermione to be up and starting her day – and too late for Luna to still be up.

As he squeezed the Holly and Phoenix feather wand in his hand, he apparated up thirty feet to the landing outside his bedroom landing with a barely audible pop. He stepped into the loo across the landing and took care of washing a week's grime off of him and checking to see if the Healer had done their job properly. His job wasn't always a pushover and sometimes he and Ron would get hurt but tonight he was most fortunate. He was coming home in one piece, missing the women in his life fiercely, and ready to remedy that in so many ways. Ron had the week off, a result of the last mission when he was out with Smith for a fortnight chasing down leads.

He tossed the heavy cotton towel into the bin in the corner and threw on the heavy robe for the short walk across the landing. Too many accidents happened by seeing one or another out of their kit, much to his chagrin, that everyone kept a housecoat or three in the corresponding bathroom.

One tap on the knob of the bedroom door and he slipped inside, using his wand as a torch to see the room.

Luna had taken to heart to decorate every occupied room in the house, painting each in a way that made you feel the love of what a home meant to him. The Kitchen was in a spring Green with magical flowers blowing all around the walls, while the attic space that Luna used for her art, was a nightscape, in obsidian blue with little stars that aligned with how the stars rotated in the nighttime sky. The parlour was a warm reddish-brown, complementing the piecemeal furniture that they'd picked up here and there after tossing the rest of the decrepit moth-eaten furniture that probably been in the home a hundred years if not longer. Hermione showed a talent for scavenging the charity shops to find what they needed for the pittance they were all paid at the Ministry.

His room was an eclectic mix of brown and green and a hue of orange that Luna called "Ginny's hair." Somehow she'd made it work in their room, looking like the sunrise over Stoatshead Hill. He'd spent many a morning on that hill, watching the sunrise when he couldn't sleep, with Luna joining him with some tea, sitting quietly with him.

As he expected, Ginny and Luna were asleep in bed. His mind raced ahead, imagining Ginny wearing a pair of knickers and nothing else and Luna in her thin cotton nightgown that left little to the imagination. He dropped his robe on the floor on his side of the bed, wearing only his skin, and slid the glasses off too, placing them gently on the side table. With his wand, he lifted the bedclothes and slid into the immediate warmth of the bed and proceeded to tuck his wand under his pillow.

One calloused hand reached back for him, finding his stomach first. He wiggled across the bed to spoon up next to Ginny, feeling her unclothed arse pressing his manhood down.

"Happy to see you too, love," Harry whispered into her ear, smelling the cherry vanilla shampoo she preferred to use after practice. "Sorry about the time," his hand snaked across her warm ribs before collecting a handful of one ample breast. His own calloused fingertips worked over the tip of her breast, feeling it harden almost immediately. He swallowed hard; thinking of what he wanted to do yet Luna was there too, sleeping soundly on the other edge of the bed. While Luna never wavered and Ginny would roll her eyes, he felt butterflies about their living arrangement, having two women sharing his bed when he was in bed.

"She came to bed late. She won't wake, probably," Ginny leaned her head back to give Harry access to her neck. He dropped soft kisses on it, praying that Luna didn't wake. Not that he'd mind having both witches this morning but as knackered as he was, he might not last to satisfy both of them, at least the way he felt they deserved.

"I'm awake," Luna's soft voice startled both of them. "I wasn't quite asleep. I was dreaming and heard Harry rustling in the room," Luna rolled over onto her other side, looking at the two of them spooned up with one another. "You have your glasses off and are fondling her breast." Luna smiled that soft one that made him feel like he was 13 and didn't know how to talk to girls not named Hermione. "You start without me. I need to use the ladies'," she rolled back over and slid out of bed, wearing her thin nightgown and nothing else. She had her wand in her own hand, using the tip like a torch too as she padded out of the room to the loo across the landing.

"You heard her," Ginny smirked before rolling onto her back, giving Harry a look he guessed was a cheeky grin. It was hard to tell with his glasses off and only the streetlights through the curtains that gave any light in the darkened room. Ginny reached up and found a handful of scruffy beard and pulled him down onto her very welcoming body. He fell into her embrace, feeling the burning in his soul ready to set fire to his brain and his bollocks.

With her knees spread and her feet planted on the bed, Harry shifted and felt how slick she already was. Sadly he still didn't have the endurance he wanted, barely lasting two minutes on their first go. Fortunately Ginny was always hungry for him.

He felt her calloused fingers grip him, guiding him into her welcoming body. "Fuck," he groaned as he slid home, feeling every ridge embrace him in glorious ways. "Shit, this feels too good," he grunted, moving too fast already. He wasn't going to last at all tonight, not this first time. It had been too long, even with wanking to take some edge off.

"We have all morning. I don't have practice today. It is Monday, after all."

Something about Mondays was important but he couldn't be arsed to think of it at the moment, focusing only on Ginny. He bent his head down to take a breast into his mouth, sucking hard enough to make her grunt in response.

The band tightened, and wound up even more before exploding, forcing stars in his eyes and to blackout a moment.

When his breathing returned to some semblance of normal, and the room wasn't spinning like he was apparating without a license, he heard noises that sounded like lips smacking and high pitched moans. He reached for his glasses and shoved them on his face and saw Ginny and Luna a foot away on the bed, wrapped up in their own embrace. Luna had removed her nightgown, leaving her clad only in her skin and the pale light of bluebell fire in glassware on the tables.

He'd rolled onto his left side to watch the two witches have their early morning bits of fun. Each of them was an example of the beautiful feminine form, different yet both exquisite. While Ginny was endowed with ample curves and so much strength in her body from flying a broom at breakneck speeds for hours on end, Luna had fewer curves and more evocative in how she could just touch him and set sparks off. The paleness of her breasts contracted with the dusting of ginger freckles across Ginny's breasts and chest, making the various scars both of them had from the year from Hell with the Carrows disappear in the soft blue lights. But it wasn't how fierce they both were but the tenderness they shared with him. He would cry if he could articulate how each had their own magical touch with him. Luna was soft and evocative while Ginny was all passion and aggressiveness. Some mornings he wanted to be taken, tossed on the bed while lying back enjoying everything. Others he'd want four hands on him, barely touching to drive him spare. Luna though had it down to a science; her touch had magic he couldn't explain. But Ginny said the same thing, that Luna had a way about her that no one else had. She'd shrug, not understanding how she had such an effect on both of them, and continue with what she was doing.

Maybe it was just Luna and that was the extent of the possible explanation. He wasn't going to complain that two witches found him worth sharing his bed.

Luna reached out from snogging Ginny to pull Harry closer to them. As Harry snuggled in closer, Ginny slid down further into the bedclothes, finding Luna a willing participant. Harry pulled her face close to kiss her while Ginny used her lips and hands on Luna's body, from breasts to bum. And what an arse she had, so soft and almost ethereal.

Harry's slumbering dick woke from the first nap, greedily anticipating what was going to happen. They could shag daily and he'd never grow tired of it. Tired but not tired of loving these wonderful witches. And those witches who were adamant in how much they appreciated him.

Harry shifted from next to them to straddling Ginny's legs. Luna turned her attention back to Ginny, kissing her delicately as she moved her body down and lifted her arse in the air. A Luna sandwich, he privately thought, as Ginny continued to kiss Luna, savouring each one on her lips, cheeks, neck, breasts and more while Harry slid into Luna's welcoming body.

She keened, feeling Harry pressing hard onto her hips while Ginny sucked on her breasts.

He enjoyed the arrangement, where Ginny had firsts and didn't mind he would only last a minute or so because they could settle in and give love, pleasure, and joy to Luna. She told them often that they didn't need to include her in their fornication activities, as she not so casually described it, but they still insisted that their relationship arrangement included her in every way. Their three-way relationship was more than just sex. It was the late-night meals, the occasional snog, sleeping together to keep away the nightmares, and cuddles too, aside from sex. They mutually agreed this wasn't an arrangement of Harry and Ginny and Ginny and Luna. He didn't know what it was called and didn't care except that they would love one another equally, as well as have sex.

He was most glad that there were some private benefits to the Man who Lived. He looked past her hips, seeing Ginny looking up at him, smirking at him. He mouthed witch and she nodded before returning to using her hands and mouth on Luna.

He turned his attentions back to Luna, giving her what she wanted or how she wanted him. Her appetite for sex was much less than Ginny's, where Luna was satisfied once a week if not less, Ginny needed him daily if not twice a day.

Small squeaks of pleasure erupted along with nonsensical words that neither of them understood, except that Luna was displaying her appreciation for them. The two women were so different when it came to lovemaking. Luna preferred it softer but also wanted him to last longer. She said that she enjoyed the moments when she had both of them to please and tease her. Ginny, though, she wanted it rough and hard and occasionally questionable. Those moments, when the nightmares and flashbacks got too intense for her, the questionable actions helped her cope and calm down. He hated she needed that from him yet loved that she trusted him completely to help her through it.

Ginny leaned out from under Luna's breasts and blew him a kiss and made an obvious invitation with her mouth before smirking again and disappearing under Luna's writhing body. Within moments, Luna was moaning like the ghoul in the Weasley attic and for better reasons.

Harry slowed down, almost stopping before Luna collapsed, falling onto her face into the bedclothes on his other side. As he caught his breath, waiting for the grand finale called Ginny, he watched them snogging before a strong hand pushed him onto his back. He turned to take his glasses off and rolled back onto his back. Ginny moved to straddle him. "Better than a broom and much more pleasant," she growled.

"Figured this would be what you wanted," he cheeked. He sought out her breasts, feeling the tips harden under his calloused fingers before giving a pinch and a twist.

"Shut it and fuck me," she growled. She leaned over, covering his face with her hair. "It won't take too long."

"And I thought you were wanting to go for hours."

"Cheeky bastard," she ground down on his hips and he threw his head back into the pillow feeling her already wound up from earlier.

The bed wobbled some, and he didn't need to see that Luna was leaving for the loo.

"Did she leave?" He asked as Ginny was attacking his neck and working her way down to his chest.

"Yes," she said between moments of sucking on his nips, "she always leaves until I'm done. I've asked and all she says is, 'I don't want to intrude.'"

Harry ran his hands up and down her body, feeling every muscle under her toned flesh. Ginger hairs, which he couldn't see even if he had his glasses on and every possible candle in the house lit in the room, stood up under his fingertips. Yet he ran them down the middle of her body, drifting lower and lower.

"That all you got, Harry?"

"Would you rather rub one out while I fondle your breasts?"

Ginny slowed a moment before starting back up in earnest. "I'll take care of me and you can play with the bludgers."

"They aren't," his hands worked back up her body, feeling each muscle in her stomach as she moved above his body. "They're more like soft Quaffles, and better to hold onto." He wet two fingers on each hand and set to work on her breasts, twisting and tweaking them. "Wish I'd left my glasses on. I love watching you."

"I'll put on a show later this morning for you if you want," her voice was growing haggard. He knew she was close. He felt her shudder, bringing him to the point of exploding yet again.

"Harry," her voice broke and he twisted her nipples hard. She quivered before shuddering, her torso spasming. "Fuck," her moan would have woken the house if they hadn't put silencing charms on every surface and floor. He kept going through her eruption, hearing her squeal until stars in his eyes went supernova.

Darkness enveloped him.

Laboured breathing permeated the room. Crass words erupted every now and then. Two distinct hands ran up and down his belly, with two heads nestled in the crux of his arms.

"I'm leaving Saturday morning," Luna said out loud to no one in particular.

Harry roused first from the sweat-drenched bedclothes, opening his eyes and turning to his left. "Saturday? Where are you going?"

"I've, um, I've been invited to go along an expedition in northern Brasil. There is a colony of lethifolds in the rainforest that another researcher wants to study, and to update the Fantastic Beasts book."

"And they want you along?" Ginny asked, finally.

"I was invited, yes. But this," Luna lazily waved her hand around the room, making small sparks of pink sparkles drift from her fingertips, "but the researcher knows that I am interested in magical creatures and have some knowledge about them and might be able to assist them during field observations." Luna blinked. She kept blinking, looking like she was fighting back tears. "It's Newt Scamander's grandson, Rolf, and I didn't want to tell either of you because I was afraid of hurting you."

"Hurting us? Why would you say that?" Harry asked first, reaching out but not touching, letting Luna make the move to hold hands. She did but kept looking across his chest at Ginny.

"Well, I met him on the last trip, the one where I went to Patagonia for a month. He was staying at the same residence I was in Viedma while on break from the desert exploration. We stayed up late talking and we talked so much about Magizoology and he's so interesting and we get along so well and I think I might fancy him."

"Really?" Ginny's voice went soft.

"I think so. I still have trouble making friends. It's hard." Her candour twisted Harry's heart once again. "People hear my name and think I'm a raving lunatic and I'm not. I'm Luna but not that. Rolf seemed interested in things I was talking about, asking questions and making notes about what we were talking about. He showed an interest and that made me feel, well, special. I've not felt that in years, probably before Mum died.

"We were out in the desert, in a little place called Estancia Tapi Aike, investigating a magical village's complaint about missing muggles and it possibly be the work of a Vipertooth so we were off to the mountains north of El Calafete and Lago Argentino trying to see if there was a dragon nesting in the mountains. We had been out for a week and he decided that he needed a good cold mountain bath. I," she smiled softly, "I saw him out of his shirt and pants in the water and I felt something stirring when I saw him. It surprised me greatly since I normally don't have those kinds of feelings except for both of you. Well, he saw me see him in the water and waved to me and I decided why not so I dropped my robes and everything else and joined him for a swim and a bath of my own. And I didn't want to tell either of you because it would be the end of this, what we have with one another. If I decide to fornicate him for mutual benefit, I didn't want either of you think less of me. If I do, then we can't do this anymore, and not be fair to everyone." Luna looked at the bedclothes covering Harry's lower half. "And I think I might do so if he asks."

"We never would," Harry spoke up instantly. Silence lay across the bed like an heirloom quilt.

Luna turned back towards Ginny who had gone quiet. "Ginny?"

"Ginny?" Harry asked as well.

They watched as her ears turned red and the flush crossed her face and down her throat. She sat up at the headboard; emotions racing across her face like the snitch had been spotted.

"Ginny, what is it? Tell me." Luna stole a glance at Harry who appeared befuddled. "Please," her request sounded like a heartfelt prayer.

"I," her words broke off in an instant. Nothing was uttered no matter how screwed up her expression was.

"I shouldn't have said anything," Luna felt pangs of regret. She guessed this was going to happen and she couldn't take Ginny's pain away. "You're not losing me. I'm still your friend. I still love you. We just won't have sex often, or at all, if I decide to have sex with him. It's not that sex interests me like a primal driving force but it might him since I've heard him groaning and grunting late at night or early in the morning." Luna smiled. "Harry at least tries to be quiet when he's masturbating." Harry's face turned into a round aubergine. "You're so polite." Luna sat up at the headboard too, leaving Harry to watch them upside down.

"I'm being selfish," Ginny muttered before ripping her hand across her own face. "I knew this wouldn't be a forever thing. Fuck, I tore everyone and everything apart because I couldn't choose who I loved more. I love both of you so much, in different yet similar ways, but making a choice was like, like picking which brother I like the most. How could I make that choice when both are as important as breathing to me? It's like asking me which hand I need more. You're both so important and - "

"You're not losing me," Luna touched Ginny's face with tenderness. Ginny leaned into the touch, closing her eyes to her touch. "We've talked about this and I told you that if I met someone, I would see what happens. It's nothing to do with you and everything to do with me. My love for you doesn't diminish."

"Yes I am and it hurts," Ginny wept. "We'll not have this again."

"That's probable but it doesn't mean I don't love you," Luna smiled and turned to Harry, "and you too, Harry. While I love you physically which I know you enjoy, my feelings for you are different than what I have for Ginny. I've never been bashful in telling you that."

"I know and I'm glad for it." Harry leaned in for a soft kiss on Luna's cheek.

Ginny rolled over to the side of the bed, her hair a mess and covered in sweat, pulling the covers off of her toned body. "I need a minute," she muttered before leaving the bedroom for the loo across the landing. The door slammed with a muffled sorry coming through the oaken door a second later.

"I didn't mean to hurt Ginny," Luna spoke softly in the early morning light. Noise from the bathroom – spraying water from the shower – drifted into the room. "But I knew it wasn't right if we had this and I started having a sexual relationship with someone else."

"She knows that," Harry got up from the bed and found pants along with sleep trousers and a vest to put on from the wardrobe. "And we agreed to that on the front end, Luna. That's what I appreciate about you – your honesty and that you always speak your mind. It's refreshing to have that. And I'm glad you've met someone and that it might be more. I hope he treats you exactly like you need and want."

"It might not be anything but it might be what I've wanted." The bedclothes settled down onto her lap.

Harry stole one last look before turning to the wardrobe to pull out a heavy housecoat. "And you should see what happens. We shouldn't be the reason that we keep you from finding your own happiness with someone." He pulled a purple floral one from the wardrobe and handed it to Luna.

It dropped to the bedclothes, lost in her own head. "I already am," Luna looked towards the door across the landing. "I hope she won't hate me for this. I can't lose her as a friend. I would grieve a lifetime if that happened."

"She won't," Harry said immediately. "She will cope like she does, by being a fiend on the Quidditch pitch. I feel sorry for Ballycastle the following match. She's going to be on a thunderous rampage on the pitch. I hate that you're going to miss it."

"It's not like I won't stay with you when I'm back home. I will be back in England sometime and can watch a match or two."

"You'll always have a home with us, Luna. I would never tell you otherwise."

"What if she doesn't want to see me again? What if she says no? I know I wouldn't like that at all."

"That's a pile of dragonshite," Ginny came back into the room wearing an oversized towel around her body and another on her head, drying her hair. "There's not a day in my life I won't want to see you. And it might hurt to not have this again, your happiness is more important than any selfishness I crave."

Luna stood up from the bed and saw Harry steal out of the room silently. She focused on Ginny, whom she loved more than she loved herself. "You're not being greedy. I've told you, it's never selfish or greedy to want love and from more than one person. It's a beautiful part that the human heart can love more than one person at the same time, in the same or different ways.

"I love you so much and am so thankful for you and that you are so giving." Luna opened her arms and Ginny fell into them, sharing a long moment standing in the middle of the room. She dropped soft kisses on Ginny's head, each one punctuated with a tear falling down her cheeks. Her tears would be for later over what she was walking away from them but these were for her best friend. "And I never said we wouldn't cuddle and kiss. It's sex that won't happen if that is what happens with Rolf. I won't know unless I ask and he agrees, right?" Luna felt the semblance of a head nod on her chest. "You know how thankful I am for you and Harry, helping me get over what happened that terrible year. I thought I'd never trust people that way again and you changed that for me." Luna felt the hug grow tighter on her ribs. She would never grow tired or weary of a hug from Ginny.

Moments passed, with both weeping silently. Luna loved being the small spoon most of the time but now she was the bigger spoon, holding her lover as she shuddered in her towels in the middle of the bedroom. Thank goodness hugs would always be there. Ginny's hugs were special, like a warm blanket wrapped around you on a cold night.

Ginny's stomach rumbled loudly in the silence, breaking the moment between them. "Damn it," she grumbled. "You'd think this thing wouldn't control my life so much."

Luna smiled before placing a very gentle kiss on her lips. "I'm sure Harry's downstairs cooking breakfast. Why don't you see if he has and I'll go get a shower? I'm dying to tell you about the upcoming trip."

Ginny took her hand and squeezed it hard. "When you come down, I want to hear everything, including about this bloke who has caught your eye. He has to be incredible for you to consider him as a friend and more than just a passing acquaintance."

"He might be, but he'll never be you." She smiled. "I love you, so much. Thank you for understanding."

"I love you too and I want you to be happy. I do."

Luna smiled. "I'll be happy if you don't eat all of the beans and toast."

Luna left the room to Ginny's laughter.

One last demarcation line

Luna leaned over to pour another cup of tea and pluck up the last remaining ginger newt. "And that is how I had to break it off with your Mum and Dad before starting a relationship with my eventual partner."

Lily Luna sat there holding a pillow in her lap, looking like she just finished writing a nasty essay involving Draught of Living Death. She kept shaking her head in what was probably attempting to process everything her Godmother shared with her.

"Aunt Luna, you never said how you started with my parents?"

Luna glanced over Lily Luna's shoulder and watched Harry and Ginny standing in the doorway to the foyer, smiling at her. She turned her attention back to her namesake. "That, my dear, is another story. I don't know if they want me to talk about that since it's related to things that happened during the war and after it. You might not be ready for it. I admit it's very complicated. Some things should never be discussed outside of family anyway."

"When do you think I'll be ready?"

Luna stole another glance and watched Harry and Ginny looking between one another, silently conversing as they'd learned to do in the previous 20 some odd years together. Lily Luna turned to see her parents non-verbally communicating with one another.

Harry spoke up first. "We'll talk about that over dinner."

"You're staying, right Luna?" Ginny asked almost on top of Harry.

"Of course. Harry's cooking feels like home. Are dirigible plums are on the dessert menu tonight?"

Ginny threw her head back in roaring laughter while Harry guffawed. "I'll see if I can pluck some on that ancient broom we keep in the shed."

"We have dirigible plums in our garden?"

"Of course we do. Aunt Luna planted them the week we moved into this home. That was her housewarming gift to us, and our promise to her that she'd always have a home with us, no matter where in the world she might be."

Morose Mononokean II 1 | Mob Psycho 100 II 1 | Meiji Tokyo Renka 1 | My Roommate is a Cat 1 | Promised Neverland 1

I think I’ve got too many cute fluffy creatures this season...

Mononokean II 1

For some reason, before I started watching this I kept reminding myself of Tomodachi Metre and fearing the new OP (because there’s almost always a new OP when dealing with a second season) would be faster-paced…the song is faster-paced, but not in the way I thought it would be (I thought it was going to be hard rock kind of pace, but it’s at least a tad slower than that).

Utakuni is such a fluffy kitty!

Ah, Moja Moja is best moja, indeed. Gossamers from As Miss Beelzebub Likes just don’t compare, y’know?

The Legislator is practically the king of “You mad, bro?”. (LOL)

Okay-dokay, lemme explain. There are 3 arms of government (known as the separation of powers, in order to have a series of checks and balances) – the Legislative, Executive and the Judiciary, meaning we’re missing that final one at the moment…

I never knew Morose Mononokean was so obsessed with comedy…or maybe I’m just noticing it now that I have experience with comedy I get bored at…

Abeno’s face of disgust really sold that moment with Moja, LOL.

Well, by virtue of being a sequel to something I watched previously, it’s more likely to get coverage, but you can never say for certain until the first episodes are over and done. On to the next thing – Mob Psycho!

Mob Psycho 100 II 1

Alright, all these “II 1”s are going to make me confused someday, aren’t they…?

I think the dude’s Suisho simply means “water crystal”. But I’m only guessing as to what kanji are being used here, so I could be wrong.

The pixel art bit was good. More like that, please!

“Your life is your own” – is that Mob Psycho’s slogan, in the same way Symphogear has that thing about “holding courage to fist” and whatnot?

Unlike Mononokean, which you only need to know the very basics (which are in turn explained in the episode itself), it seems Mob Psycho is playing hardball in that department – if you don’t remember that time Kamuro started kicking his lackeys around, you’re going to have to watch it again. (Either that, or you watch the Reigen recap.)

Hmm…”[something to help Mob] grow” sounds a bit odd, but that’s a correct translation. That’s what seichou suru means.

Oh great…you know how I said I was cleaning out the house lately? Someone found an old copy of this book called Inventing Elliot, which I despised studying about (because it got me some of the lowest grades in my school life, aside from outright failures and close scrapes with failure). The problem is, I’m getting Inventing Elliot vibes from this particular plotline…and since that’s Mean Girls in a boys’ private school + Mob Psycho is all about the abuse of power, that’s completely a storyline the show would go with. *gulp*

Hey, they have actual eyecatches now! Hooray!

A certain kanji for “Emi” (with a mi in hiragana, IIRC) is “smile” in English, so I find it interesting they paired Mob up with a girl like her. (Then again, if it were a hiragana/kanji mix, that’s not a name.)

Oh yeah, the hitode (starfish) shirt.

Rinshi! Ekoda-chan 1

Why am I covering an R18+ series? It’s a long story…

The jokes are, as of this segment with the old lady, only about 50% hits. That seems to be a pretty bad track record. The thing about Ekoda being identified as 3 years older than what she really is is also relatable, since I don’t think I’ve grown much past a certain age.

Note there’s a Japanese store called JUSCO. There was one in Hong Kong, which was full of cool stationery.

Wait…that’s it? So why’s it 26 minutes??? Documentary…okay, I’m getting the heck out of here.

Meiji Tokyo Renka 1

I heard Ume was here…? More bishies and more Ume for me!

What’s up with the Haikara-san ga Tooru outfit, anyway?

Who dis boy? He kinda looks like Mikoshiba from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun…Update: That’s Ougai.

At least the jazz music is cool. Also, the episode title should be “Suddenly, under a Strawberry Moon…” or something, since it went totsuzen ni.

*Mei checks her phone* - This is why you don’t text and walk across the road, kids!

Ougai…y’mean, Mori Ougai? The loli dude from Bungou Stray Dogs is this redhead?! EHHHHHHHHHHHH?

Oh great. Amnesia plotline…

Hishida Shunso…a painter.

Okay…that’s a really obvious point where you’d be able to insert your own name if you were a gal (or if you wante to play as a gal).

The age of the Rokumeikan seems to pin the timeline down to “after 1883”. For some reason, it sounded familiar, but I wasn’t familiar with why - so maybe I’ll learn about it someday.

“Little Squirrel”?(!) (lowkey laughs for all the wrong reasons) And here I thought “Little Flower” (from Magic-kyun’s Louis and Dame x Pri’s Vino) was awkward-sounding but still endearing.

Okay, second redhead. When I saw him in the OP, I swore he was Ancient Magus’ Bride’s Chise…

So the germophobe redhead is Izumi Kyoka…but I’m not sure who this Kawakami is…

I don’t know how anyone could make a germophobe endearing, much less make him romanceable…

Otojiro Kawakami. Comedian and actor.

Lafcadio…wuh? Update: (Patrick) Lafcadio Hearn, Greek dude with a Japanese penname. He seems to have written stuff on Japan as well as other places.

“…that collection of ghost stories…”

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the roast beef but the animators…LOL…oh, spoke too soon. Kawakami just walked it back to the table.

Wowwwwwwwwwwww, Mei is so easily distracted by roast beef and pretty boys who, to be honest, aren’t that pretty…I’m just waiting for the long-haired dude and/or Ume and I’ll kick my butt out of here.

I thought Fujita was voiced by a familiar voice and turns out I was right – it’s Fukuyama Jun.

Well, that was mildly unsatisfying. I think I spent more time watching Mei getting blushy at dudes and not feeling an attraction myself. Fujita was the only one I wanted and he didn’t even do much but swing a sword. Seriously, though, what the heck was Charlie doing turning off the lights all of a sudden?

My Roommate is a Cat 1

Well, it’s either that title or Dokyounin wa Hiza, Tokidoki Atame no Ue. …which is a lot to write in one shot.

Why’s the cat on Subaru’s…junk?

The cat appears to be typing out the Dancing Men from Sherlock Holmes…except they’re cats. The Dancing Men are basically what made me think I had a career in computer security in the first place, come to think of it…but I’ve abandoned that kind of thinking now. Modulos are way too hard for me.

Them spoilers! I know that feel.

Koguma = small bear, in a story about a small cat. LOL.

Hiroto…I thought about this during the funeral scene, but…why does he look like Suzaku from Code Geass???

Hmm, yeah. I can see why Hiroto isn’t all that convinced – I’m a similar kind of person, with only a small pool of pursuits that keep me going for a long, long time. *looks at rabbit outside and remembers when I saw it in the darkness about 3 years ago*

Oh, so Subaru was so absorbed in his manuscript he forgot to eat, huh?

Kitty show too cute! Ehehehee… <- (ecstatic about having a new weekly dose of cuteness)

Promised Neverland 1

I’ve read the first volume of this. I’m not 100% in love with it, but if I can have bragging rights over finding the next big hit, why not?

Noitamina…now that’s a name I haven’t seen in a few years…*grumbles at Amazon*

For some reason Norman (white-haired boy) has this “betrayer” vibe written all over him. It’s because I know in BnHA and Ao no Exorcist, there are betrayals by certain people.

The aesthetic of this thing is like a fairytale and not like a typical anime. That’s probably one thing that convinced people to give it a shot.

LOL, there’s a Detective Conan door..well, it kind of looks like one.

The word for “tag” in Japanese is onigokko and “It” is an oni. That gives a whole new meaning to “playing tag with monsters”, doesn’t it?

Update: I can sort of feel my “this is popular, so I won’t like it” radar going off...so I’ll put it on hold until I get over that feeling.

[shoes-and-seoks]

My (what was supposed to be an itty bitty) YoonSeok rec~! Was only gonna be short, but go hard or go home I guess...

Slow Motion (See Me Let Go) by thedirtunderyourskin ‘Yoongi is content to drink, smoke and fuck his life away with Hoseok until Hoseok tells him that he has a girlfriend now and doesn't want to see him any more, leaving Yoongi floating like a ghost from bed to bed trying to find someone to hold onto.

All my days (I'll know your face)  by inkingbrushes

Something about Yoongi has Hoseok feeling like he’s fine, like he’s going to be okay. It might be nostalgia. Or it might be that he just feels at home with Yoongi. (Or, the one where Hoseok proposes in public and Yoongi blurts out, are you out of your fucking mind?)

Imprint by sixtieshairdo That’s his favourite thing about Hoseok; he could make him laugh, anytime, anywhere. The problem is, whenever Hoseok makes him laugh in bed now, he feels something stirring inside of him. He feels warmth seeping from Hoseok’s muffled giggles against his chest, into his skin, burrowing incessantly through his veins, embedding into a part of his soul. Stroking Hoseok’s soft hair off his forehead, he finds himself wondering if Hoseok had been in love with him back then, but he quickly brushed the thought away, as sleepy eyes open to blink at him slowly. Long limbs still warm from slumber wrap around him and he sighs into the kiss, letting his thigh slip in between Hoseok’s parted knees, and wills himself to hold still, hang on, don’t fall.

Suga by HesterAntoniaDracolas “How can you not believe in soulmates!” Jin exclaimed, dropping the spatula in shock. “I just don’t,” Yoongi muttered, really not wanting to get into it right at that moment. “It’s because his soul words are and I quote ‘I’m bisexual, but I’m 100% straight for you darling,’” “Namjoon!” ~Alternatively 'the course of true love never did run smooth' and in Yoongi and Hoseok's case it might just take locking them in a small room together to pull everything back together. Rating - Not Rated Word Count - 8645 -Soulmate AUs are good, but there’s just something super special about the ‘first words’ ones, and especially when those first words are something ridiculous~

Glitch (not the end of the world) by popliar (littlerhymes) Yoongi's first clue that there's been another glitch in the multiverse is when he wakes up to the sound of Hoseok screaming. (Hoseok is replaced by a version from an alternate timeline.) Rating - GA Word Count - 3399 - I’m just a sucker for interesting fics, and dystopian style SOULMATE AU?? Consider it read!!

[tnc-thenewcharacter]

Just a little warm up in the morning. If one of you read this, please don’t be mad or surpised... actually I’m quite a temperament person ._.

So this morning I checked my favorite tag (lol) and came across this post

So I was like

Now I can relate to cosplayer’s feel when he/she was told to not entirely imitating the character’s appearance but has to look the same to the character (pardon? weren’t that paradoxical? duh)

I admit that since I got committed to the fandom, I started copying OX’s art style. Why? Because I think OX’s style is wonderful I want to see it applied on my drawing. Plus, it helps me to correct the imbalance front side face I usually make. Was it wrong? No!!! No at all!!! In fact, copying or imitating another people’s art style is one of crucial steps to become good artist.

Wait, I think I’ve heard somewhere that you study electrical engineering, not design or art or something?

Well yes, I do study electrical engineering, but I’ve been drawing and looking up about it since 2003. No joke. I started drawing since I was 8 years old. I’ve been drawing for more that 10000 hours and still goes on. I have some books too.

*brb my mom made some delicious beef clear soup I have to have some >_<

*now I’m full and at peace

From those books and internet, I found out that beside learning about proportions and drafting, you have to imitate another artist’s style. Just imitate your favorite one. Once you get a hang of it, you’ll find yourself deciding wether to make it more “you” or keep it that way. Every artist know about that stage, as long as it’s not reuploading that artist’s art just the way it is and claiming it as your hand made, you are free to go. This is like making undergraduate thesis. You don’t actually make something new, you may just analyze something with new parameter. But the different is you don’t have to make citation towards the artist. Damn right.

And that post, made by that very person, is tickling me. I’ve been keeping an eye of that person because he/she always starting ruckus over the forum. Like, he/she wants to watch the world burns. And now this. I know, I know, that internet is a free place to shout out your opinion. But even though you come from third world country doesn’t mean you talk like a simpleton. I am from third world country too, but I know manners. Typing and talking is similar; people don’t like it when it’s too bold or rude at the start. Unless you are intellectual enough to bring the audience/reader to the topic’s direction. But that person?

No, no, no.

He/she is reckless. He/she never try to think 3 steps ahead. He/she ignores the the important of looking for the fact first. He/she doesn’t have manners when it comes to typing. I usually ignore his/her opinion about anime/manga/manhwa but this time? Criticize anyone who tries to draw better? 

Nope, can’t stand it. At all. 

I’m sorry, “person”, but if you or your friend accidentally read this feel free to harass me. every where. I don’t care. But catch this.

Manners, please.

If you are a Star Wars fan, you are probably already thrilled by the upcoming addition to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the currently under construction Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, slated to open in 2019. But to get your Star Wars fix in the meantime while you are patiently (or not so patiently) awaiting opening day, Disney is offering a guided tour that is sure to be a hit with the entire family! So here’s everything you ever wanted to know about the Star Wars Guided Tour at Disney’s Hollywood Studios…

This five and a half hour tour begins at 8:00am (check in at 7:45am) at Guest Relations inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Links I Love, Right Now

I’m going to start this post completely off topic because I just have to say something about the fact that today is, in my opinion, one of the best days of the year. This is because today is the first Friday in March, my friends. It goes without saying that Fridays are just great days. And the minute March begins I start to feel renewed (because I love spring with every ounce of my being). So when you combine the two, I feel like it’s a day destined for greatness.  And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the links, man! This is actually not the kind of week I normally reserve for the   Links I Love   series. Robbie has been on the road all week, which means I’ve been on full time kid duty on top of working, which therefore means I’ve had a lot less time than usual for pretty much everything - especially for spending on the internet. That said, despite the fact that I’m so exhausted once the kids are finally asleep that I can barely keep my eyes open, I need a little time to myself to wind down. That time would much better be reserved for reading a book, of course, but instead, I end up online reading news and window shopping and checking out blogs. And when I find cool stuff, I mean I  obviously  have to share it with all of you.  So here goes:    So, um, who else watched the Oscars? Yikes. I loved this NY Times piece titled  ‘ Moonlight,’ ‘La La Land’ and What an Epic Oscars Fail Really Says  .  Have you guys seen this awesome post on the “  X-Plan  ,” or how to give kids (mainly teens) a way out when in uncomfortable situations where they’re feeling peer pressure? It involves a simple text (one great thing about the fact that today’s generations of teens have cell phones), and it makes a whole lot of sense.  I am officially an auntie to a 10 week old Husky named Laika. (My sister got a puppy!) It’s given me some serious dog fever, I have to say, and got lost in this fun article on   27 things you need if your dog is your best friend  . (I miss you forever   Bubby dog  !)  My friend and fellow mama Terra bravely shared her   postpartum depression story   on her blog on Tuesday. It’s a raw, beautiful read, and it’s so important. Please read and share.  I need to make myself a   sangria tequila snow cone  . Immediately.  Someone please design me a house that looks exactly like   this  .  One of our regular customers over at the   Bubby & Bean Art shop   named Emily, who is, in her words, a breast cancer thriver, is raising funds for a program called   I Em Strong  . Through this program she will volunteer with oncology centers, hospitals, and non-profits, create programs specifically geared towards women healing from breast cancer (and treatment), and help empower women through yoga and its philosophies. Please check out her inspiring story and campaign   right here  .  I was a major clog fan in the ‘90s and this seriously beautiful   pair of clogs   (also seen in top image) might just make me become one again.  I know I mentioned this in my last Links I Love post too, but I have to do it again because it’s just that good. My friend Jessica’s gorgeously photographed, all plant-based (!) cookbook ‘One Part Plant’ is   now available to purchase  . (I shared one of the recipes and gushed about why I love it in   this post  , in case you missed it.)  Another ICYMI - I was over on   Prevention.com   last week talking about how a sugar addict (me!) gave up all forms of sugar for 7 days.   Check it out   if you want to see what happened.  An architect turned an old cement factory into his home and  t he interior is AMAZING  .  I don’t eat meat, but aside from the beef and stuff, I’m all about these   “authentic American taco” recipe   ideas. Tacos forever.    This dress   is so simple and beautiful, and best of all, looks like it would be really comfortable without being sloppy. I think I’m going to get it. (The $29.99 price tag is definitely helping my case.)    Enjoy the first Friday and weekend of the first month of spring. (Hurray!) We’ll be at the park pretending it’s 10 degrees warmer than it actually is.
