#RAAAGGGHHHH I LOVE THIS

[flyingspicerack]

ok im making you all look at this, this is my essay on all the scenes with Ichimatsu in them from takopa, my explanations of why he does them and what they mean UNDER THE FILTER that Mao exists and this takes place simultaneously during my fic

SO I deffo think that takopa takes place, like, on the day it was released, like the evening they have the party is friday july 21st 2023, SO that would mean it takes place between chapters 9/10 and 11, 9 and 10 being the 'ichi stands mao up' and 'mao is hungover' ones that take place mid july, so im thinking 9/10 probably take place around the 17/18th maybe.... SO at the time of the takopa, Ichi and Mao's relationship is that they are finally officially friends, they know about each others neet/hikikomori status, but arent,,, like super close ... its before the festival chapter, so if that makes any sense

the first and second images dont have anything to do with Mao, i just think it's cute that hes just basking in the sun like a kitty cat. the second one however, i think ichi stay home 1 bc hes a homebody but 2 bc he spent all his allowance and cant go see mao at the cafe

ok this is a big one, very loaded. see, his brothers outright ignoring him and not telling him whats going on? well that puts a downright bad and spiteful taste in his mouth, so he's already not going into it with the best attitude

and HERE!! RIGHT here is when ichimatsu decides to fall right back into his position in the family dynamic as the quiet one who follows along with the others, the one who takes the backseat approach to the dynamic. if his brothers are doing something, hes always just going to follow along to an extent to keep the status quo

ok so, ichi, like a cat, reserved to the idea of new ppl being in the house (nyaa and baby), as well as spiteful about the situation as a whole... he goes along with the brothers in the 'pining for totoko' thing because thats just... what they do, theyve been doing it since they were kids, so even if he were to realistically kinda back off from it, there would be questions, so hes just... hes just keeping in line, in his place... BUT HES NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!

after the bit with the takoyaki turning and ichi finally having fun, he realizes he CAN let loose a little and try to have a good time, sooooo now hes gonna be a little shit and mess with his brothers' chances at getting with totoko bc he can

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT .... ok ... so ichi is there and visibly nervous... nyaa opens the conversation about cats, to which he relaxes... he relaxes yes cause cats, but also nyaa... pink hair... pink hair and cats to him is mao ... its a bit easier to talk to nyaa in the context that he's just kinda thinking about mao.... nod nod nod nod

OK ALL OF THIS IS SO GHREDFLSGFLGBSL OKAY listen... Ichimatsu isn't with mao, but he's pining so hard and hes constantly thinking of the ways that he can incrimentally make homself better so he can be a guy they might be into... so he also, for some reason, thinks mao has experience/isnt a virgin, SO he thinks that he needs to step it up. If he were to get the chance to get an indirect kiss/finally pop his cherry, well, in his eyes he thinks he might be a better guy for mao, he won't be utterly pathetic. IN ADDITION, he picks nyaa because, lets face it, were he to actually gotten the opportunity to sleep with her, he'd be thinking of mao the whole time cause pink and cats... probably say their name too if im being toooootttallly honest... so yeah... he would want to do this to be able to not be such a loser for mao... even if he kinda does have that desire to have them be his first... but his desire to be more desirable to them outweighs his personal wishes if that makes sense....

anyway thats it, thats my post, maoichi real bc i said so

YOUR BLOODWEAVE TAGS ON THE PET NAME POST-- I DIE. HE LOVES HIS NAME!!!

I also picture Astarion when he approaches Gale for something and Gale unthinkingly says "Yes, my love?" for the first time. and Astarion is DONE FOR

ouuuggghhhh pls ur brain...

i just love a scenario where early relationship, gale rains down flowery compliments on astarion with no bother at all, but he holds off on the pet name thing because he's just. soooo fond of astarion's name and saying it as much as he can.

like imagine he researches high elf naming conventions and tells astarion what his name means and how much it suits him, and that he loves it. rahhhhhh!!!

but then astarion, who so accustomed to being addressed by name, talks to gale and is met with an offhand 'my love' and gets whiplash. omfgggg...

i just. RAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!

rating different names for the us. by me (an american who doesn't particularly like america) (also who currently has a hyperfixation on history i think maybe)

United States Of America - 8/10 classic. very accurately explains the us and also specifies where the us is. points off for the long clunkiness

United States - 9/10. personally i think that the united states is such an important part bc of federalism we really are not a country. we are a ton of states working together. that's how the us works it's like a very important part. minus one point bc it could in theory apply to some other set of states

America - 2/10. booooooo what are you talkinggg aboutttt :((( not only are there three other countries in north america, "america" implies the entirety of both continents which. doesn't work. boooooooooo stop it.

The States - 2.5/10. very confusing i don't like it. there are many many states. plus half a point bc i do think that the state part of the us is very important

USA - 8/10. i. i don't like it because i feel like it's almost self centered? idk why it just gives off that vibe. but it's clean and concise and simple sooo

US - 7/10. simple. easy. official. has an unfortunate resemblance to the word us.

The Country That Doesn't Use The Metric System - 0/10 fuck you not only r there other countries that use the imperial system but also i am of the firm belief that fahrenheit is better for daily life than celsius . WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER RAAAGGGHHHH🦅🦅🦅

i can't think of other funny ones. anyway yeah. if you happen to b american and also 18+ please for the love of everything vote pls pls pls we need you
