Thinking about the 141 in a corporate office setting.
Kyle, the best salesman in the company with his slick designer suits and even smoother personality. Need to close that deal or convince someone to sign the dotted line, he’s the one to call.
Simon, the quiet IT worker that people always go to for help because he’s the best at it, even if they’re intimidated by him. He’s the top performer in the business, and he knows it, which lets him get away with the surly attitude.
Johnny, the finance guy who always seems to know all the company numbers and can make any finance report look good. Need some forecasts or predictions on stock, he’s your man. When the quarterly report may fall below goals it’s not as harsh of a blow when Johnny smiles.
John, the gruff COO that’s in before the sun is up and in his office long after everyone goes home. He keeps the company running while the CEO gets all the glory but he doesn’t mind, he prefers the background.
Then there’s you. The new receptionist that greets these men every morning with a cheery smile and wave. You haven’t been around long enough to be intimated or shy around them like the last receptionist and instead get to know them.
You know Johnny’s favorite sweet-treat and make sure the candy bowl stays stocked with it for the ten times he stops by to chat every day. You always make sure John has a hot coffee to keep him going when he hits that inevitable two o’clock wall and you can hear him grousing at his desk down the hall. As a favor, since you see how Kyle is always coming and going, you keep his meetings in order for him on his calendar. And for Simon, you are careful to route people away from him when they forget their password or can’t get the printer to work. This helps keep him free to do whatever it is he does in his office and in turn he removes the website blocks from your profile so you can watch YouTube videos in your downtime.
It comes as a bit of a surprise to the other workers when John ousts his personal assistant and promptly puts you in that position after you’ve been there less than six months. He moves you into the connecting office to his and ropes the other three to get you all settled in with new furniture and decor despite your protests.
The office gossip ratchets up tenfold when people notice the four men book meetings with you, behind closed doors, to discuss business at all hours of the day and night. They’re all in different departments, what could they possibly need from you? And more importantly, why do they all need to meet with you together?

Among the cobwebs tangled about in the ole noggin is: Byakuya really is just out there living a whole 'nother life inside his head, isn't he?
We see this get clocked by Toshiro in Chapter 674 (above) and, hopefully, Rukia and Renji (i.e., the "they" to whom Toshiro is referring). You could surmise that Toshiro is very perceptive and that's how he discerned what Byakuya was doing. And, sure, Toshiro is plenty perceptive. But... also... like... how often does Byakuya do this? How often does he put on some weird "performance" that he's fairly certain others "see through"? Or, at least, he intends for others to see through?
My guess is: The whole damn time.
I like to think the below Q&A from KlubOutside isn't just some continuity error that Kubo is fixing in post, but, rather, a suggestion that Byakuya is really out there living a life completely untethered from reality.
Tumblr media
KlubOutside Q&A, as translated by reikorun
Like... we know from the SS Arc that Rukia does not view her relationship with Byakuya as warm and fuzzy. She says as much with her words and actions throughout that arc.
But... umm... the above seems to suggest that she and Byakuya likely discussed Renji at some point during their 40/50-year relationship. And, from that/those discussion(s), Byakuya left feeling intimately acquainted with not only Rukia, but Renji as well. Enough so that the man married to formality thought he could totally dispense with it when he met Renji.
Rukia, on the other hand? Girly, didn't blink an eye at her crazy "brother's" crazy antics during the SS Arc. She was like "he'd kill me himself and not give a damn" (paraphrasing). And like... understandable since it did seem to be going that way, but for Ichigo et al.
However, what subtle "hints" had Byakuya dropped that he just assumed she understood during the SS arc? Probably a million. Maybe he thought they were totally aligned then. Maybe he thought she knew the extent of his troubled heart along with the whys and hows and whatfores.
Maybe he was really out there living his best headcanon life.

One time someone told me I made Kuzu/peko OOC because I make it sound like Fuyuhiko likes Peko (which a buck wild statement by itself)
And I just realized, months later, they wanted me to write Kuzu/Peko like Toga/Fuka

Fruit for thought (or really random musing after THK EP 4)
Bison is definitely sharper and smarter than what we think (or at least to me) - yes he has some naivety to him. But him being an artist means he notices details and things:
1) Such as Babe having bruises that the young teenager is trying to cover up and also how evasive Babe was when answering Kant. Also speaks volume that he chose to put his issue with Kant aside to deal with Babe problem first 🥰
2) Bison was also the more rationale and calmer when KantBison when sleuthing in the school. I am betting he was the one that came up with the disguise and plan, which tells me he can be methodical (which really again emphasises how much he no longer cares much about the killing that he carelessly or purposefully not bring gloves to the jobs he has with his brother?)
3) And we know he makes an amazing tiny, pocket rocket Robin to Kant’s not so stellar Batman (I give him props for trying 😅)
Which really tells me - Bison has a huge blinder on whenever Kant is involved. And so, even with the biggest red flag 🚩 waving madly in front of him like the excuses or inconsistencies that he definitely clocks whenever Kant opens his mouth - Bison our lovey murderous meow 🐈 will just ignore it.
(Also helped by the fact he can see how sincere and loving Kant is towards his brother - and that’s when Kant is most truthful and honest with Bison really)
AND THIS CONTRAST so beautifully with Fadel and Style relationship -
Fadel from the start doesn’t trust Style - although the latter was probably the most honest out of all 4 in his pursuit of Fadel (apart from the car thing). Cause he wasn’t aware of Fadel’s job to begin with.
Style just like this brooding, hot grumpy man who he wants to peel layer by layer (the car is just a bonus)
But now Style knows the truth, and starts acting quite differently (like in the gym) - however, Fadel NOW has his blinder on, cause he already trust Style and knows that guy is eccentric and kooky. So, he will likely just chalk it as Style being Style - and it’s his turn to pursue and charm the pants off his new BF…
Anway, I don’t even know if I make sense - all I know, our 2 assassin brothers are smart but also stupid (stupid in lust and love lol) and I’m here for the ride!
Bring on Episode 5
The Heart Killers EP 4
(I will still cry like a baby when Bison and Fadel finds out of the truth though 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹)

if there's one thing the most recent five years in fandoms have taught me it's that: a.) writers who are paid professionally to write things are generally worse at their job than unpaid fanfiction authors and fan artists. ii.) the ships/pairings that make the most sense and have the most chemistry will be banished to the shadow realm. 3.) everyone should just generally be nicer to each other. we're all doing this to escape a capitalist hellscape man. Chill.

Street Fighter characters: This is Jerry Falcore, he has baggy pants, his dad was one of the random goons in final fight, he wants to become the greatest fighter ever and will do so with his special version of Brazilian jujitsu. He will be the main character of this game and then never be mentioned again in any later entry.
Mortal Kombat kharacters: this is Dorvalk, he’s from the mystical sideways realm that the elder gods destroyed, he is some guy with robotic sleeves and big shoulder pads, his only function in the story is to give Erron Black someone to talk to and to get beat up by Johnny Cage and then later beat up again by Cassie Cage. He will appear in more games as a dead body in the background than he will as a playable character.
Tekken Characters: This is Craig Johnson, he never interacts with any major character, he just looks like a white dude wearing a plain t-shirt and he has been in every game after his debut.

I don’t know why, but I absolutely adore when any of the team hold Eliot back from violence with a simple gesture or by putting themselves in front of him. And Hardison is the first to do it, right in the pilot episode 😌 But they all get a turn, like Parker in the inside job and Sophie in the snow job, or Nate several times.

Sapphic is such a beautiful word. It's perfectly descriptive without the baggage of others using it as a slur (if it has don't tell me, ignorance is bliss). It's perfectly inclusive. It's also great as it's a word that those who know will gravitate towards (for example looking for sapphic books) but those who don't won't instantly prejudge it and will just move on. It just sounds lovely phonetically, and immortalizes the name of a woman from a society which tended to demonize them. All in all I just think it's neat!

Sachika was human.
Lango was Granute.
Sachika built her own company from the ground.
Lango inherited his company from the previous generations.
Both were dedicated to their jobs.
Sachika genuinely care about his friends/employees.
Lango measured his family/employees by their usefulness.

Incorrect Ace Combat - AC 0/6/7 AU Did quite a few slightly shippy Wingmen's perspectives before, so on the flipside - the Flight Leaders' version.
Cipher: Trig, I don't think you should go out with Count.
Talisman: Agree, he's slightly dodgy.
Trigger: *Ahem*. You both do not have the moral high ground to tell me not to date Count when one of you is seeing a dude who got you court-martialed and the other is seeing a dude who tried to murder you.
Trigger: And, you are both still alive. So.
Cipher & Talisman: Okay, low bar, but fair enough. You win. Enjoy, don't die.

I’ve always thought Kant and Fadel are similar in so many ways and that Style and Bison are also very similar (both chaotic gremlins that I truly believe can burn the world if they become besties and Kant/Fadel should fear if that does happen)
And we have heard of phrases where “people often fall (in love) to someone that resembles a person dearest to our heart”
Thus, it’s not at all surprising Bison fell in love with Kant while Fadel is captivated by Style - because at the crux of it, their loved ones are reflection of the only other person whom they trust in the world.
I think about this often 😂 but I’m not sure whether it make sense now that I have typed it out 🤣
