#THIS IS OF COURSE NOT TRUE BUT AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[crossgartered]

AHHHHHHHHHH I FEEL LIKE I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO IS RIGHT ABOUT THIS CHARACTER

[local-apollo-kid]

@neil-gaiman I HOPE YOUR HAPPY WITH THE FACT THIS SHOW SINGLE HANDEDLY REVIVED MY ASTRONOMY FIXATION WITH JUST THE WORDS 'alpha centauri'

I'm getting back into my live for astronomy and all my knowledge is coming back to me in waves but you know what made me freeze?

ALPHA FUCKING CENTAURI

So you know how Crowley mentions/talks about going to Alpha Centauri several times of the course of both seasons?

Well, Alpha Centauri is made of two stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B.

A and B both orbit a common centre, and (if my memory serves me right), their orbital period is roughly 79-80 years.

(Also, I think this is probably an irrelevant connection, but the time between the Holy Water request and the Blitz was 79 YEARS)

The orbit of A and B is eccentric (not a perfect circle), meaning the distance from which both planets orbit their centre fluctuates, making the two stars be around as close as the Sun and Saturn at some points.

AND THIS NEXT BIT IS MAKING ME GOD SLIGHTLY CRAZY (I HAVE ISSUES)

We see that, throughout time, Crowley and Aziraphales time without seeing each other (that we currently know of) fluctuates.

ALOT LIKE HOW CENTAURI A AND CENTAURI B ORBIT EACH OTHER!!!!!

Their relationship is (astronomically speaking) eccentric. They go periods of time in which they don't know when either of them know when they will see each other next, and this is exactly the orbit of Alpha Centauri A and B.

It's as if Crowley and Aziraphale are already standing on Alpha Centauri, one on A and one on B.

At one point, they get close enough to brush fingers, launching delicate sparks into the nothingness before being wrenched away from each other, unaware when they will see one another next.

IM ALSO THINKING ABOUT HOW CROWLEY ONLY EVER ASKS AZIRAPHALE TO GO OFF TO ALPHA CENTAURI. NOWHERE ELSE. WHEREAS AZIRAPHALE ASKS CROWLEY TO COME BACK UP TO HEAVEN AND AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ahem- anyways. Let's get to the point dolphins

Crowley wants to go to Alpha Centauri because his astronomy loving ass feels that it represents the two of them.

It represents the two of them in a tragic metaphor of desperate love and seperation but also in the way that they are both irrevocably tied to one another.

These two stars are tied to one another in the way that neither would be truly complete without the other.

And when Crowley looks at Aziraphale as he say that Alpha Centauri is "nice" and "he's always wanted to go there", you see the remembrance of Crowleys plea for them both to go to Alpha Centauri (season 1, ep 3) in Aziraphale's eyes.

And so when Aziraphale begs Crowley to come back to heaven, it's a direct parrellel back to S1, EP3. Crowley wanted them both to go to Alpha Centauri, their celestial representation as I'm going to call it, and be true equals, and Aziraphale wanted to go but doubled down on his mission to save Earth.

EXCEPT this time Aziraphale wants them both to go back to heaven, a place where they WILL NOT be equals, and Crowley vehemently says no.

It's a contrast between a place of equality and a place of inequality, and Aziraphale's choice of inequality was interpreted as Aziraphale not viewing their relationship in the same way as Crowley does, leaving him lost.

Aziraphale leaves him the same way Alpha Centauri A leaves Alpha Centauri B, further away but never truly gone.

Except Crowley doesn't know if he's coming back.

ANYWAYS,

I live alpha centauri and you should too <333

WOOOO THAT GOT A TAD OUT OF HAND

(I don't think i worded this the best I could have an not this is not proof read)

[llondonfog]

going through the update and the thought struck me regarding a divergence in canon where princess leia begs the fairies to flee the castle with baby silver, where they journey deep into the dark woods of briar valley. the fairies know that they cannot properly care for the child, and in one last desperate act to preserve the innocent babe, they perform the sleeping spell as we know it in canon— only the one who would love silver truly could awaken him— and cast a ward of safety and perseverance around a tranquil glen where the child sleeps on a bed of moss and is adored by the various animals who come to think of him as one of their own over the centuries.

fast forward to four hundred years later when lilia stumbles across the child, awakens him, and then casts his own UM which only gives him the glimpse of the fairies casting their spell to protect and preserve silver until a peaceful world awaits him. the story plays out the same, with lilia taking silver in and raising him as an attempt to see if he could love humans, only this would lead to the entire diasomnia clan to discover the truth of silver's origins during the course of lilia's dream and ahhhhhhhhhhhh ohhh the drama!! the way it would impact the nature of silver and lilia's relationship!! the challenge of fated true love and the courage to love someone truly in the face of these revelations put to the ultimate test!!

[whump-for-all-and-all-for-whump]

!!!!!!!!

-Sebastian continuing to be both the best doctor in the world and the best human in Jaime’s life <33333

-he called Ezra his friend 🥹 Sebastian has friends!!

“I thought he was starting to trust me.” It sounds as pathetic as he feels.

I can hear him say this and it’s so sad it makes me want to cry

-when the whumpee makes a mistake and is sure there’s going to be drastic consequences and in their mind it does make perfect sense but they’re so sad and try to resign themselves to the inevitable punishment they’ve earned themselves anyway??? It gets me every time AND THIS TIME ITS GETTING ME THE ABSOLUTE MOST JAIMEEEEEEEEEE 😭😭😭

-and the fact that even as afraid as he was of Sebastian, he still is hyper aware of his kindness and the fact that this is the best he’s ever had and maybe ever will??? MY HEART I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

-oh my GOD his imagining of what it would be like to be returned?!?? Still having to see Sebastian in the facility but with none of the kindness!!?!?! Ohhhh my god ?!?? 😭😭😭

He has no right to cry about it now. There is no one to blame but himself.

Oh n-JAIME

until suddenly the breaths are controlling him and not the other way around

I really love this line

-HE KNOWS WHAT HIS FAVORITE BREAKFAST IS AND HE MADE IT FOR HIM 😭😭😭😭 it’s only been a few weeks and omg I’m realizing he probably knows more about Jaime than almost anyone else alive OW MY HEART oh I’m so glad he has Sebastian 🥲

-also butter honey toast is DIVINE Jaime has great taste

Jaime blurts “I’m sorry I kissed you,” at the exact moment Sebastian says, “We should really talk about what happened.”

EEEEEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

-and he wants to apologize and really convey his regret not because he wants to avoid punishment but bc he knows the importance of consent and is genuinely remorseful about disrespecting Sebastian’s, and Sebastian has someone that cares about him and his autonomy and just !!!!

because even now, of course his first instinct is to meet Jaime with undue kindness

😭😭😭 and the fact that these are Jaime’s thoughts AHHHHHHH

“It’s o—I mean, no, it’s not okay. But I don’t think you have a selfish bone in your body. I know you didn’t do it to hurt me.”

I really really love this response. I really really love Sebastian

“I’m no stranger to late nights. I know they can get pretty lonely sometimes. I won’t ever be mad at you for waking me up.”

Oh 😭 (if we ever see Jaime take him up on this I might collapse)

“You’ve been… you’ve been so nice to me.”

😭😭😭

It doesn’t earn the smile he hoped for.

😭!!!!!!!

At the time, in the clinic, it was humiliating to have all his secrets bared to Sebastian as his doctor. Now, he is grateful he doesn’t need to say the words aloud.

🥺

Still, something about hearing the words out loud soothes some broken, desperate part of him that aches to believe it’s true. The part of him that’s been aching to believe it since he stepped through the door.

YES YES YES THE TRUST IS BUILDING ITS BEGINNING ITS BEGINNING!!!!!!

I get to stay. I get to stay. I get to stay.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-HE WANTS TO STAYYYYYYYY

what it might feel like to share that weight with someone who cares about him

🚨🚨WHAT IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE TO SHARE THAT WEIGHT WITH SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT HIM ‼️‼️ SOMEONEWHOCARESVJXIEUDHFHRHD

Jaime tries his hand at trusting him.

!!!!!!!!!!!

“No, he isn’t,” Sebastian says, and there is the slightest tug at the corner of his mouth. “But he used to be.”

WAIT NO YOURE ENDING IT THERE OH MY GOD?!?!?? AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Omg omg I am SO excited for this and for this realization for Jaime - for the thought that he has never even allowed himself to entertain to be able to crystallize into hope for Sebastian to continue to provide hope in a world where that has been purposefully exterminated for them to continue to build that bridge toward freedom together for Ezra to have his moment !!!!!!!! I’m so excited!!!!!

I Want To Stay

DO NO HARM. Followup to The Incident last chapter. Sebastian and Jaime have some shit to work out. 

WARNINGS: BBU/BBU-adjacent, discussion of past sexual assault/abuse, self-victim-blaming thoughts, panic attack, some dehumanizing thoughts

Ezra is quiet for several long moments after Sebastian stops talking, the line crackling with static.

God, it’s even worse when he recounts the story out loud.

Part of him wonders if he made the right call, suggesting he and Jaime wait until the morning to talk. But after Jaime got dressed last night, Sebastian took one look at him perched on the edge of his bed, puffy eyes fighting to stay open, and he knew that the kid needed sleep more than he needed whatever weak reassurances Sebastian could offer him in the moment. Neither one of them were in the right headspace for the kind of talk they needed to have.

Not that Sebastian got much sleep in the end. A couple of broken hours at best. But that, at least, gave him the advantage of being awake before Jaime. He needed a window of time to get his head together, and the best way to find some clarity in this tangle was to dial Ezra’s number. And of course, despite the early hour, his call was answered.

“I recognize,” Ezra finally says slowly, “that this is not a comfortable subject, but I think it’s best if I speak freely now.”

( PART 2! MAHAHAH!)

" I'm not burning up your burning up!"

" but alchemist... Isn't he dead!?! No I must not think of this right now I have a job to do get rid of parasites! Unless that was a parasite "

* not long after I started walking normally but I was on high alert very high alert if I ever heard that... Laugh I would run as fast as I can! *

" come out you little parasites! No more of your SuCking EnErGon thingy you got going on!"

* I heard it again but this time a annoyed grunt or even a huff of angry air*

" I have a weapon! "

" so you do now? Calling me a pest a parasite! "

FRUITS BASKET S3 EPISODE 11 AKA THE KYORU CHRONICLES FINAL PART! AKA POETIC CINEMA

ahhhhHHHHHHHH! I've never felt so good after a Fruits Basket episode! <333 Ah, we are so close to the end and it's never hurt so good. I'll be writing through EVERY SCENE cos this episode was special (so expect a lot more fangirling). Just so you know my frame of mind while writing this... I might’ve gotten a bit too tipsy drinking wine and listening to k-pop mashups on youtube cos monday is now the new friday? 😂 

Apologies.

------------------------------------------------

- Of course Tohru was planning to just push back the sadness and smile for Kyo. Of course. Jesus, these kids.

GO FOR IT!!!

Except it's Kyo and Tohru... you know the gist...

Ok, so I was all ready to give Kyo shit about leaving Tohru for (a day? a few days?) without reassuring her but... his response and apology was pretty perfect.

Oh my 

JESUS. 

KYO. He OVERapologised! (As he should) But, wow 👏🏾

Ok, I just full on lost it at Tohru’s ‘Does that mean I get to stay by your side?’ afterwards? 😭 WHY ARE THEY BOTH SO PERFECT?! Kyo’s blush at Tohru’s ‘I get to hold your hand?’ 🤯

I... AM NOW...

ONE WITH THE AIR... 😶‍🌫️ 😌

ahahahaha I love how it’s still a slightly awkward teen kiss at the same time! IT’S SO PERFECT.

😳. Wow. *fans self* Am I the only one who can’t handle these open and honest admissions of love right now?!? <3333

It is so so. SO. WEIRD. It is 2021. And we’re getting this scene in full animated, colour, HD form. To all the 2001 fans and manga readers, we made it <3 😅😂

Your face is too bright, Kyo! Stop it!

We love a panning circle shot. :3

- Tohru’s whole character is mostly to prove that everyone just needs someone to be kind once in a while

BUT LASTLY...

I have to admit. While I loved that we got an original and ‘true’ telling of the zodiac story in animated form and it was still beautiful in tones and colours.... I kindaaa was expecting a more original way of displaying it (akin to ‘the Foolish Traveller’ story). BUt, it was still pretty and I love parallels and had a mind melt so I noted them down:

The description of God feeling alone and grand and being scared at their own power, I not only related it to Akito but towards how everyone in the zodiac must’ve felt while having the curse. That they’d have to distance themselves from the rest of the world to protect others from themselves. And as the cat was introduced to the scene with God, I began to relate how Tohru had then come to be introduced to each of the zodiacs and how a bond was once again formed... between God and zodiac... 

Tohru is a GOD.

Anyways...

What I’m trying to say is that the bond between Akito and the rest of the zodiac always felt artificial compared to the bond between Tohru and the zodiac members which felt genuine and close... which I feel confirms my previous theory in last recaps that Tohru... is the lost heart of God?

But then again the cat promising to stay by God’s side at the start is very Kureno...

There’s loads of parallels is basically what I’m trying to say lol (A/N: I’m so sorry)

It was a really nice touch to flick in between where Akito was and where Kyo was when the story telling ended. It’s kinda ironic that at the end of everything that the people who personified God and the Cat couldn’t be further apart amongst the current Zodiac members. It almost feels like a release for the original spirits of the two curses to have space to reunite in the after-after life. It’s nice.

- Damn. Aya. ‘I WAS BORN TO BE WITH YOU’?!?! 😍

- All the ‘cry with me’ moments were beautiful and brilliant and... 

...painful

and as I said in previous recaps... this is the REALNESS of getting out of a bad relationship and it’s displayed so fantastically real.

...Scratches? ...Reckoning?

I’m admittedly a bit worried lol Why was his voice so broken? I mean, I know but I wanna know...

Ayyyy, shout out to everyone who guessed the beads would be on display!!! hahaa

LOOK HOW FREE HE LOOKS. IT’S SO UNNATURAL BUT SO NEW. AND NICE. AND just great. I love this show hahah

Also, Kyo being pouty at Akito taking up his Tohru hours was hilarious lol

I’m just gonna end this on God’s final speech because it’s perfect and I feel like I align with it for some reason and also cos I feel like I’ve waffled on:

“When did that promise become a curse? When did our fellowship become a burden? The days we spent together were happy ones. We didn’t want them to end. In the beginning, there was love and comradery, but time marched on. People changed. And happiness turned to sorrow. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Still... even after the promise wore thin, broke down and lost its shape, you all carried it with you. So, what I want to say more than anything... is thank you.”

------------------------------------------------------

I love this anime. I love this fandom.

See you next week!

Merthur fic recs: Remixes

ahhh i love a good remix. it’s a bit like getting two fics (or more! for the price of one)

1. The Mistletoe Conspiracy (The Mistletoe Madness Remix) by Elveatas (Ricecake) 

As a prank, Morgana has put up enchanted mistletoe all over the castle, which traps whoever steps beneath one until they've been kissed by their true love. As such, Arthur has memorised every single location of mistletoe to avoid being trapped and having to confess his inappropriate love for his assistant, Merlin.

And his vigilance pays off; he doesn’t get caught even once.

But Merlin does, which is worse.

~~~

ahhhhhhhhhhhh pining!arthur. (that’s it. that’s all i have to say.)

the original fic:

Mistletoe Madness by SlantedKnitting

Merlin just wants to get through the week and maybe make an appearance at Gwaine's holiday party. Unfortunately he falls prey to the latest palace prank, enchanted mistletoe meant to trap unsuspecting employees until they kiss their one true love. The problem is that Merlin doesn't have a one true love. At least not one he can admit to. The other employees decide to try to help him out.

~~~

ahhh this is pining!merlin’s point of view of the whole story and i love it and i love them both

2. All I Want (The Make My Wish Come True Remix) by Eleveatas (Ricecake) 

It doesn’t happen often that Arthur takes Merlin to bed, but it’s happened enough times that it’s become a bad habit. And it's a habit that Merlin is finally trying to break.

~~~

ahhhh the heartache hurts so good in this and the original. also also –– hints of jealous!arthur

the original fic:

Make My Wish Come True by GeekLover

All Merlin wants for Christmas is to be more than Arthur’s bed warmer, but he’s not sure if Arthur has what it takes to grant that wish.

~~~

as usual –– fantastic. i generally don’t like modern!aus but this is just so good.

3. Perfect 10 (The Affectionately, Adoringly Remix) by Clea2011

Merlin works in Gwen and Lance's coffee shop. And what every coffee shop needs is a postcard exchange, obviously.

In which Merlin tries a spot of matchmaking for lonesome Leon. Gwaine is not his first choice. And Arthur is absolutely not supposed to join in, whatever Gwen thinks. Of course, nothing goes to plan...

~~~

ahh this fic is so cute. it’s like a perfectly non-demanding coffee shop!au that you can enjoy at your own pace.

the original fic:

Affectionately, Adoringly by KimliPan

Leon and Gwaine sign up for a postcard exchange around the holidays and get a little more than they bargained for.

~~~

the ship this time round is gwaine/leon, but i do encourage you to give it a try. it’s quite cute, actually.

Christmas Miracle

@vintagegoddess12  Happy Holidays Secret Santa! I hope you love it <3

Cordelia settled herself on the hospital bed, her usual stoic confidence replaced with worry, fear and excitement all rolled into one.  Y/N covered her and fluffed her pillows before sitting at attention beside her wife.  She was cool, calm and collected for her Cordelia...inside she was wreck. Cordelia offered her lover a smile before another contraction ripped through her.  "jesussss christ theyre getting stronger" Cordelia nervous laughed taking in her surroundings.  Its not common that the reigning Supreme gets nervous but here she wasn't the true paramount supreme of witches, today she was a vulnerable pregnant woman about to become a mother.  A role she had worn with ease over the last 9 months making her wife fall deeper in love with her every single day.  But today was the culmination of those long months and the many years of trying and failing even before meeting the woman who would become her wife.  

Y/N relaxed into her chair, the doctor indicating we were in for a long wait as Delia was only 2cm along.   They clicked on the tv and settled into comfortable silence while they waited for the pizza Cordelia begged they order to the hospital--her only true craving.  She was in early labor and they had read enough books to know her window of opportunity to eat was dwindling.  Cordelia sat in comfortable silence while the induction meds were hooked up.  Their baby had a mind of their own and was just too comfy to move and was going on almost 2 weeks late resulting in a planned induction.  Her mind wandered to her mother and how she must have felt at this moment, on the precipise of becoming a mother, all alone.  She was beyond grateful for someone at her side but for that person to be the love of her life, to be as amazing as Y/N is, well...she just thought herself to be the luckiest person alive. Despite the old wounds Fiona inflicted over the years Cordelia missed her mother and grieved for the missed opportunity to see her become a grandmother and love this little being more than she could have loved her.  But she wasn't. Fiona was gone, she was the supreme now.  She had to carry on and carry on she did.  She took on that oath to Supremacy more than any other; determined to be the opposite of Fiona.  She took her position so seriously that she almost lost a chance at a life for herself initially rebuking any of Y/N advances and ignoring any feelings for her until she lost her and fought hard for her return.  She'd never forget that lesson.  She swore on her soul she would never let Y/N go another moment not knowing how in love she was with her.  She smiled at the thoughts of their young life together and all to come; absentmindedly tracing circles on her wife’s hand who has not let go of yours in hours.  You give it a squeeze and smile at her.   "What?" Y/N laughs "Nothing....im just thinking about how lucky i am to have found you. And how excited I am for the rest of our lives," Cordelia replies, a hint of a tear threatening to fall.   "I'm the lucky one Delia. I love you so much" Y/N replies, squeezing her hand and tucking the hair behind her ear.   A phone interrupts their tender moment, "Must be the pizza!" Y/N exclaims, standing up and kissing her wife once and then again for good measure before getting a wink and heading off to retrieve the pizza.  Cordelia leaned back checking her phone for any signs of issues back at the academy but was instead met with texts of encouragement and congratulations.  Myrtle had been noticeably silent--she had moved back to the academy and took over as head mistress so Delia and Y/N could make a home for themselves and a life outside of the academy.  Her and Delia talked every day or at least every other as their surrogate mother/daughter relationship only became stronger over the years.  She treated Y/N like a daughter in law which is why its been so strange to Cordelia that her Auntie Myrtle had now been silent for about two days before the induction.  

They ate pizza in comfortable silence and even polished off a few episodes of the crown Y/N cleverly saved on her ipad. The pain had progressed now and she was no longer comfortable.   The doctor came in and did another check--fully dilated and ready to go.  Cordelia grabbed her wifes hand and squeezed out of sheer fear of the next step.  Her wife, fully in control, guiding her every move and thought.  Strong and fearless--what Cordelia loves most about her.  What her patients must think about her she muses constantly in awe of her wife.  "This is it D--we're about to become parents!" Cordelia musters whatever strength she can to begin pushing while her wife never loses contact with her--coaching her and telling her how amazing she's doing. "ahhhhhhhhhhhh why isn't this easier I'm the fucking supremeeeeee" she wailed, pushing with all her might "I know darlin, you're so strong.  So so strong. Come on look at me, look at me and push." Cordelia digs deep and musters any fight she has towards one final push before she collapses on her back to the music of baby cries. She cries herself, overcome with emotion, while Y/N kisses her wet hair and never lets their hands part. Cordelia wanted Y/N to be the one to announce the gender so she shaking looked over and cried to her wife, "Its a boy, Delia.  We have a son"They place the bloody baby on her bare chest and she sobs at the sight of him.  "Oh my god, he's beautiful. He's beautiful Y/N" "You did it baby, that's our son. I'm so so proud of you" Y/N gushes They take him to clean him off and check him out.  "Is the baby ok?" Delia asks already feeling the emptiness of her arms waiting for her little one.  "Your son is healthy and beautiful Mrs. Goode" as they hand this little pink fella back to his moms handing him to Y/N this time.  She looks down on him and smiles, "Hi my boy. I'm your mom" and tearfully laughs towards her wife.  Cordelia's chest aches at the sight--the love of her life holding the little life they created.  Pure bliss no amount of magic could ever compete with.  Y/N handed their son back to Cordelia who held him close to her skin and kissed his tiny head, smelling the newborn magic already.   A red headed firestorm burst through the doors, "Did I miss it?!?!" Myrtle exclaimed, bursting into the room and stopping dead at the sight before her.  "Oh my dear daughter, it seems I'm just in time.  Tell me--do I have a grandson or granddaughter?" she asked, arms clasped and tears in her eyes.  "Oh my god myrtle," she cried, "you came?!"  "Why of course I did dear, my only daughter was having my first grandchild.  Nothing could have stopped me plus your darling wife here ensured I make it." she said motioning to Y/N who now walked over to Myrtle and wrap her in a hug bringing her over to Cordelia.  Cordelia mouthed her love to Y/N for just knowing her so well that having Myrtle be there would be significant.  Cordelia hands her the child and she cradles him whispering a spell of protection over him.  "He's simply stunning ladies.  Well done." she cooed.  Delia leaned back into her wife’s arms, content that her entire world was complete.  She noticed the clock--”Its after midnight baby--Merry Christmas.”

"i DON’t know WHICH is my problem”

“okay well... what DO you know about our dear hwang hyunjin”

“..well i know that he’s a dog person and loves got7 and he really really likes dancing and he can’t eat onions or eggplants and his favorite season is autumn and-”

“.. sounds like you know an awful lot”

“i mean-”

“do you want my opinion?”

“of course!”

“i’ve seen how your relationship has grown since the beginning, i mean who can forget that screaming match you two had in front of the palace?”

“haha yeah that was..”

“and you’ve spent SO much time the past two weeks we were here, so i feel like knowing you, you were bound to like him one way or another, and you guys look extremely comfortable together”

“when you put it that way-”

“and how has the past two days been? i knew you guys weren’t talking”

“i mean it sucked but,, i’m not sure if it’s because i like him like that or i like him as a friend”

“okay... then let him take you out on a date!! and then from there you can figure out what you really feel for him”

“that’s.. not a horrible idea..”

“and this is why i’m your best friend”

so with a new pep in your step you and yeji both head back to london 

and you get ready for your date!!

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

so here’s the plan

you meet up with hyunjin

ask him on a date

but make him plan a date

and then see where it goes from there?

sounds like a sound plan

the moment you step into the palace

your eyes look for hyunjin

but find felix instead

“FELIX! where’s hyunjin??”

“i think he’s on the balcony? you know the one attached to his bedroom???”

“THANKS!” you shout as you run up there stairs toward his room

you open the doors to his room

and you see him look back you

“... y/n?”

“... hi hyunjin..”

“what’s up? i haven’t seen you for a few days”

“i- i was thinking about some stuff..”

ah yikes why is this making you so nervous

why is HE making you so nervous

“mhmm.. and what would this ‘stuff’ be?”

i mean

it’s now or never

so you gather up the rest of your nonexistent courage and say,

“take me on a date.”

“.. i’m sorry?”

“please? take me on a date?” you say less reluctantly

“shouldn’t it be you taking me on a date?”

“no listen. i went to italy with yeji -- i know random, but she said that we should go on a date because i don’t know how i feel about you”

“you.. don’t know how you feel about me?”

“hyunjin,, cut me some slack you called me dumb when we first met and never stopped fighting and then all of a sudden you say you like me?”

“.. i mean i see your point,,,, okay! i’ll take you on a date! this will be the BEST date you’ve ever been on so i hope you’re ready y/n”

“looking forward to it!”

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

oh god

you’re a mess

“YEJI the only thing i’ve been doing is shopping HOW DO I HAVE NO CLOTHES”

“girl, you’re freaking out too much you need to chill”

“but-”

“hey, just pretend you guys are just hanging out! what makes this so different??”

“i mean-”

“unless,,, you genuinely care about this date and you want it to go well??” yeji says smirking

“UH I-I”

“omg just wear that you bought yesterday and meditate or something bro you’re stressing me OUT”

“i just!!! want to figure it out!!!”

“okay okay, deep breaths,, one scenario is that you find out you like him and feelings are returned and you can live happily ever after and ride horses off into the sunset,, second scenario is that you don’t have the same feelings for him and you can’t return it and you both move on with your lives,,”

sigh “you’re right, you’re right! i just need to take a chill pill”

“what time are you two meeting anyway?”

“.. in 30 minutes”

“you don’t have any idea what he’s got planned for you?”

“nope”

“well,, i’m excited for you!”

“that makes one of us!”

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

“don’t worry too much babe, i’ve got the whole day planned for us!!”

“.. don’t babe me we’re not even dating”

“....yet” hyunjin says whilst winking at you

“you sound very confident”

“i am very confident!”

hyunjin drags you around london

and takes you to the conservatory because you love plants

“aww hyunjin look! this plant is so cute!”

“not as cute as you”

“s-shhh”

and takes you to a coffee shop (you don’t miss the cobblestones part)

“you never miss a beat do you?”

“duh, you did say that drinking coffee on cobblestones streets was your dream,, i just wanna be a part of it”

and takes you on a picnic

“wow you’re really spoiling me today”

“you deserved to be spoiled, princess”

ahHhHhHHHHHhh STOp

and talks about his hopes and dreams

“so you know how i said i wanted to be a dancer?” hyunjin says

“mhm”

“i wanna sing too”

“with a voice like yours? totally possible”

and last but not least

he takes you up on the london eye

“wow we get the whole cart to ourselves???!”

“of course! don’t you know who you’re talking to?”

“ah the prince of korea how could i forget”

“you know,, as much as i love getting all these free perks and stuff,, it kinda sucks being a prince”

“i know we talked about this,, but do you wanna elaborate??”

“i mean,, all the rules, all the fake people who try to be my friend just for my title..”

“what makes me different then?”

“you were friends with yeji,, and if you stuck by her side all these time, i knew that you were genuine, also i had to drag you to hang out with me and you never really liked me that much” hyunjin says chuckling

“that’s not true,, i had to have liked you a little bit since i hung out with you that often”

you and hyunjin both laugh and you turn to look at him

you just realize how etheral he looks with the moonlight shining on his face as he looks out into the london skyline

and that’s when it hits you

“y/n.. i really like you”

“hwang hyunjin... i like you too”

♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡

.. ya’ll caught me

i just wanted reasons to look up “things to do in italy”

anyways, hope you enjoy

thanks for finally confessing your feelings so this story will really start to pick up

[kingofattolia]

a list of things about Star Wars: The Last Jedi

TLJ felt like watching two completely separate movies. .. .  one i deliriously LOVED and one i spit upon and shake its profane dust off my sandals

THE GOOD

“ive got an urgent message for General Hux” “YOUR REBELLION IS DOOMED” “yeah... im holding for General Hux”

it straight up took me a minute and a half of this scene to figure out this was actually the start of the movie. it felt like one of those pre-movie skits where it seems like a movie but then anthropomorphic M&Ms tell you to turn your cell phone off. was it just me or were there a LOT more comic moments in TLJ compared to almost every other star wars movie? anyway i loved it even tho it gave the movie a slight someone-made-this-while-high-on-LSD feel 

Leia USING THE FORCE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

R2 playing Luke the “you’re my only hope” recording of Leia, i almost died

FORCE SHENANIGANS. we saw more powerful, dramatic, and varied uses of the Force in TLJ than we have ever before seen in a live action media and i was L I V I N G

“you’ve closed yourself off from the Force”

Rey and Kylo’s foRCE BOND TALKING like this.. . . is so interesting .. .  and it wasn’t only Snoke doing it because they did it again after he’s dead...

Rey lifting 30 giant fricken boulders without even breaking a sweat after having one (1) single “training” session

Kylo remotely activating Anakins lightsaber

projecting himself........ across the entire galaxy. . ..

Yoda. in the former EU the Force ghosts had a non-negotiable expiration date a certain time after their deaths. Obi-Wan couldnt just come back and visit Luke forever, he faded away at some point. is this no longer true??? DOES THIS MEAN ANYONE CAN COME BACK IF THEY WANT??? why was yoda so physical even as a ghost that he could whack luke on the head

summoning lightning like alright this is a new Jedi power im adding to my arsenal

Leia’s mary poppins action

Luke vaulting across the cliff to stab fish

POE'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT he turned from a kamikaze into a leader who's able to see the big picture and walk away, im so proud

everyone..... messing with Hux...... i loved this

Snoke smacking him into the floor

Kylo smacking him into the wall

Kylo force choking him

slowly taking gun out. . . . . HES AWAKE ABORT ABORT... slowly putting gun back . . . Hux is going spend every waking moment wishing he took that shot

Finn's character arc, like what an awesome Slytherin. the contrast between him and the codebreaker 👌👌👌👌 & where he makes the choice REBEL scum 👌👌👌

LET'S GO, CHROME DOME

i cant believe Phasma died again lol. her backstory novel was SO DRAMATIC and she just dies over and over

when Kylo does that little skid out into the hallway to look for Rey

Chewy breaking down Luke's door

when Luke kisses Leia on the forehead . . . .

kylo KILLING SNOKE I AM LITERALLY SO HAPPY. I AM SO HAPPY. IM SO

this had to happen, it was so obvious but i didnt think they would actually do it, Snoke was so boring and useless, i am SO GLAD they didnt drag him out..... I AM SO HAPPY HES DEAD

it was truly awesome... i couldnt stop grinning it seeing it the 2nd time... "I CANNOT BE BETRAYED, I CANNOT BE BEATEN, I CAN SEE HIS MIND" & then he narrates the entire process of Kylo killing him i was LIVING. everyone theorized for so loooooong and so hard about what form Snoke's control over Kylo took and how it would be possible for him to break it,, , , and then he just DOES IT JUST LIKE THAT by SHEER MISDIRECTION FOLKS I AM SO ALIVE

THE TEAM UP FIGHT

i love lightsaber fights so much i would very nearly give up my critical integrity for a single awesome duel and this was,,, so awesome

when Rey drops her lightsaber to catch it again and cut that guys knees out from under him

when Snoke is cut in half and then the lightsaber rockets towards Kylo and Rey's hand SHOOTS INTO THE FRAME to catch it 👌👌👌

when Kylo takes on FOUR OF THEM AT ONCE

"THE SUPREME LEADER IS DEAD" "long live. . . the supreme leader .. "

not gonna lie, i am such a huge fan of supreme leader!Kylo. CAN HE EVEN LEAD ANYONE??? DOES HE HAVE THE CAPABILITY?? HONESTLY WHAT DOES HE WANT TO DO? WHAT WILL HIS SELF-DIRECTED MISSION BE? VADER NEVER GOT TO BE ANYTHING BUT AN ATTACK DOG, WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING TO HAPPEN

I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA BUT IM SO HYPE TO FIND OUT

THIS IS BRAND NEW

"finn! rose! you're not dead! where's my droid"

the little slave kids from Canto Bight. did the kid at the end use the Force to pull his broom!??!

"that library did not contain anything the girl Rey does not already possess" Yoda thinks hes so funny. REY STOLE THE LIBRARY LMAO... thanks Rey... im glad someone around here has a brain...

the Falcon swooping in to draw off the TIEs on Crait

"OH, THEY HATE THAT SHIP"

Vice Admiral Holdo's lightspeed kamikaze. . . aside from the drama of the moment & making Hux look stupid, just visually it was awesome

absolutely every single thing said by either Hux or Kylo in Kylo's command shuttle above Crait

"i want every gun we have to fire on that man"

"blow that PIECE OF JUNK oUT OF THE SKY"

when kylo's like "concentrate all fire on the speeders" and then Hux immediately shrieks "CONCENTRATE ALL FIRE ON THE SPEEDERS" and Kylo looks at him like 🤔

"do you think you got him?"

when Luke faces Kylo

WHEN LUKE FACES KYLO

this scene makes the movie for me honestly. as of now im in a state of uneasy ceasefire with TLJ and the sequel trilogy as a whole. if the scene of Luke facing Kylo did not exist, TLJ would probably be dead to me

"did you come to SAVE MY SOUL" "no."

absolutely everything about Luke was so completely epic in this scene. even though he barely said anything, even the way he stood was epic. im not sure how Hamill did this but it was everything i ever wanted

"i failed you, Ben. I'm sorry." "i'm sURE YOU ARE"

the contrast between Kylo's fighting stance and Luke's

when Luke steps out from the massive cloud and duSTS OFF HIS SHOULDER

this fills me with so much pure glee i could literally ascend

"if you strike me down in anger, i'll always be with you. like your father."

the slow, dawning horror when Kylo starts realizing Luke's not actually there

"see you around, kid"

"SEE YOU AROUND, KID"

"SEE YOU AROUND, KID"

my favorite line in the WHOLE THING i could Scream

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHH

"SEE YOU AROUND, KID"

when Rey slams the door in Kylo's face

THE BAD

Luke should have LIFTED HIS X WING OUT OF THE WATER WITH THE FORCE AT SOME POINT GOSH DARN. i knew from the moment we saw the submerged x wing that this moment was meant to happen.... but then it DIDN’T. like PLEASE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD I NEED TO SEE THIS

the casino subplot. . .  it was awesome for Finns character development but couldn’t he have developed character over an actually materially relevant story arc.. . .

BB-8 didn’t fight Dark BB-8 like what the hell honestly

for what earthly reason does Kylo need to wear his pants up to his armpits. is he TRYING to look like a doofus

why wasn't Lando the master codebreaker. like quite frankly, give me one good reason. why. no. there are no good reasons. when is Lando going to come into it you cowards

honestly....... what the FRICK was that horrible backstory behind what caused Kylo to turn

WHAT THE FRICK

im trying to keep my cool but this is a huge, enormous, and vital problem i have with this movie and whoever came up with that should be shot

Luke, in a brief moment of insanity, ignited his lightsaber over his sleeping nephew's bed to assassinate him because of a vision

LUKE SKYWALKER the guy who wouldnt believe that DARTH VADER, ENSLAVER OF WORLDS, SLAUGHTERER OF CHILDREN, MASS MURDERER OF THOUSANDS, was a lost cause and who refused to kill him, TRIED TO KILL HIS APPRENTICE IN HIS SLEEP

like... do you see my problem?

character assassination. it is ludicrously greater-than-Anakin Skywalker levels of overreaction to a Force premonition that Luke would see a vision of darkness and instantly move to slice his sleeping, defenseless nephew in half, and even in Luke's version of the story Luke is legitimatly the bad guy. he brought about the future he was afraid of, just like Anakin

because of this background, every interpretation is blown wide open to reasonably see Kylo as the victim and Luke's actions as those of a villain. of course he had to defend himself? it's legitimately possible to construe the subsequent killing of the other students as self-defense as well. if they wake up to find Ben having "killed" Luke? anything could have happened, Kylo could honestly have done barely anything bad up to this point and have been driven to the dark side on that one night

it's going to take.... so much work.... to walk this back. obviously Kylo's a villain now, because of what he's chosen to do since then, but for Luke to come out of this not looking like trash, they would have to provide SO MUCH more backstory including the "dark" things Kylo had done to make Luke suspect him, and have him probably be actively seeking darkness while under Luke's tutelage. and then Luke still seems like a fool and a betrayor

maybe they WANT Luke to come off as a legitimately bad person? i've seen some interpretations of TLJ as tearing down "legends" by showing everyone as flawed people, teaching the lesson of not deifying people to Rey AND the audience as well. if thats true and they actually want me to believe Luke is not worth believing in, i'm sorry but i reject that

luke skywalker is not a bad person

rey said "you didnt fail Kylo, Kylo failed you" WHICH... its true that Kylo failed in all his actions after this. but if this is the unmitigated truth about what happened that day, Luke definitely failed Kylo, thats not really arguable

i spit this backstory out of my mouth and stomp on it

bye felicia

"the legacy of the jedi is failure and hypocrisy. at the height of their power they allowed darth sidious to come to power and wipe them out" ok true. "it was a jedi master who was responsible for the training and creation of darth vader" YOU TAKE THAT BACK

a related point..... Luke is a coward.

i'm not saying that the only kind of Luke i would accept is HEROIC LEGEND LUKE WHO BURSTS FORTH FROM HIS ISOLATION AND SINGLE HANDEDLY DEVASTATES THE FIRST ORDER. but at the same time, his isolation is NOT in any way comparable to Obi-Wan's. "i came here to die" ok buddy.

dying is all well and good, hiding from your failures, being broken for a while after taking a hit like that

what i am NOT able to forgive is how he abandoned Leia

???? the frick???

"so many losses, i can't take any more" "sure you can" STORY OF LEIA'S LIFE

"im from the resistance, your sister Leia sent me" boy when she says jump you better say "how high?" honestly YOU OWE IT AT LEAST TO YOUR GUILT TO DO THAT FOR HER

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE? SHE'S ON HER OWN DEALING WITH EVERY PROBLEM IN THE WHOLE GALAXY AND HE'S DOING WHAT? YOU'RE TELLING ME LUKE WOULD HAVE ABANDONED HIS SISTER LIKE THAT??? AND WHEN SHE SPECIFICALLY ASKS FOR HIM HE SAYS "no frick u" ?!?!?

if that's Luke Skywalker then Luke Skywalker is a useless coward

that is not Luke Skywalker

honestly everything Rey said was spot on "Leia sent me here with hope. if she's wrong then she deserves to know why. we all do"

the overall thesis of the sequel trilogy seems to be "there's no point to any of this"

a powerful student turns to the dark side and destroys the Jedi Order. an authoritarian regime destroys the republic and takes over. a small band of resistance fighters rallies against great odds. a Force sensitive from a desert planet teaches herself the Force from old Jedi books after her teacher evaporates into the Force after teaching like 1 lesson. everyone Leia loves dies

guys... i'm tired

it's just exhausting. what is the point? in the sequel trilogy we've seen the republic destroyed, the resistance decimated and harried from place to place until theyre down to 12 people on the millennium falcom. there's only one movie left. they're going to come back from nothing and destroy the first order and then smile at each other in the ashes?

why?>??? what are they going to do? build a republic again? is rey going to build a new jedi order? we've seen how that worked out

there's nothing to believe in here. HOPE is such a strong theme in the sequel trilogy. "as long as there's light we've got a chance" "leia sent me here with hope" "the galaxy has lost its hope, the spark is out." "hope is like the sun, if you only believe in it when you can see it you'll never make it through the night." like good grief. constantly hammering on the need to have hope, but WHY?

what's the point of defeating the imperials, spending your life trying to build something good in the galaxy, trying to build a family, when you're only going to have to do it all again in your old age, when everyone you love is dead?

i cant see any hope if this is the ending for the OT characters, so i powerfully struggle to care about and cheer for Rey, Poe, and Finn. what's the point in anything they're doing? what's the point in the sacrifices they're making? it might turn out just exactly like it did for Luke, Leia, and Han, spending their old age in loneliness, sorrow, and violence

if this is the way history repeats itself, you probably should just make out like the stuttering codebreaker. "dont join"

Danganronpa: Away Prologue: Beginnings (Part 4)

That night I had a nightmare. I was young. I was being dragged away by someone. I was begging them not to do it. Meanwhile facing me was a smile. I could only see the smile. It was a grim smile. It was the kind of smile that makes you want to feel nothing but despair.

I woke up in a sweat. I was afraid. It was a fear I haven’t felt in a long time. “What was the dream about?” I wondered to myself. “I know it, but I can’t remember it.” It seemed earlier than I usually wake up. “I should get back to sleep.”

Just then, an alert came on over the speaker system. *ding dong* *bing bong* “Attention everyone: Starting today all of you under this roof will be under new management. Please report to the gym right away.”

What was that? No matter. Whatever it was, I should go and see what’s going on. I got up, put on some clothes, and walked out. I met a sea of confused faces when I did.

“What’s going on, good sir?” Troy asked.

“I don’t know, but we can’t find out unless we go to the gym” said Jay.

“I don’t like it” said Duke.

“Well, whatever we do, we should do it soon” I said. “So let’s go.”

“OK” said Pierce.

Our confusion only grew as we met the girls at the stairs. “Alright, WHAT’S GOIN’ ON?!” asked May.

“DON’T ASK ME!” Andy replied.

“We won’t get answers standing around like this” Cassy said. “So let’s move.”

We all descended the stairs and walked into the gym, and we shocked by what we saw. Monobird was in a cage. Not only that, a mini stage was set up.

“Monobird, what happened?” asked Sophie.

“I’m what happened” said a voice mysteriously coming out of nowhere. Suddenly, a bear, whose design resembled Monobird, but instead of a green half it was black, descended from the ceiling onto the makeshift stage. “I’m Monokuma! Your new guardian.”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” screamed Andy.

“Cut the bullshit, what’s going on?!” said Buck.

“Straight to the point, eh?” Monokuma retorted. “Very well. If you really want to know, I am the Ultimate Killer!” When Monokuma said that, Troy drew his sword and dashed toward Monokuma aiming to strike him, but Monokuma jumped out of the way into the rafters. “That was a close one.”

“Get down here and fight like a man, foul vilain!” called out Troy.

“Before I do, maybe you should have a look around first” Monokuma said. Well all did as he said, and we noticed cameras with guns attached to them.

“What is the meaning of this, foul villain?” Troy asked.

“He he he” Monokuma chuckled. “If you were to attack me, those guns would go off and kill you.”

“Death is a price I’m willing to pay to stop you, foul villain!”

“That may be true,” Monokuma began, “but technically, I’m not actually here.”

“What’s the supposed to mean?” asked Rachel.

“See, ‘Momokuma’ is just a tool in the Ultimate Killer’s arsenal” Monokuma said. “So, even if you stop Monokuma, you won’t stop the Ultimate Killer.”

“So, that isn’t a costume?” Cassy asked.

“Well, technically, no” Monokuma replied. “I’m a robot with an AI. I’m really more of a mask for the Ultimate Killer.”

“Well, since we know you’re the Ultimate Killer,” I started, “and you want us dead anyway, it shouldn’t matter if that death is at the hand of ‘Monokuma’ or those guns. So, why shouldn't we give it everything we got to stop ‘Monokuma?’”

“Good question!” Monokuma said, condescendingly. “I’ll give you three reason. First, I, Monokuma, am extremely hard to kill. Second, even if you somehow managed to do so, and I imagine that if you pooled all your strength together you might be able to, the Ultimate Killer can just send over a new Monokuma. And finally, I, Monokuma, will not kill any of you!”

“WHAT?!” cried Monobird from his cage. “But you said you’d make sure every one of them was dead.”

“Indeed I did” Monokuma said. “But I never said that I’d do it myself.”

A wave of fear hovered over us. “What are you intending to do then?” Cassy asked.

“Why, it’s very simple” Monokuma said. “I’m going to make you kill each other!” Everyone froze. “Why is everyone so quiet now? You were all talkative before.”

“Just how do you plan on getting us to kill each other?” Duke asked.

“Oh, that?” Monokuma laughed. “That’s easy. I’ve made some modifications to this building, and now you can’t leave.”

“But we can’t stay here! This is bear country!” called out Duke.

“We couldn’t before. What makes this different?” I asked.

“Anyone caught trying to enter or leave will be killed” said Monokuma. “Honestly, these are some easy questions.”

“Hold on, I’ll call for help” Sophie said, nervously reaching into her pocket. “Wh-where is it?”

“Looking for this?” Monokuma said, gleefully holding up a phone.

“That’s my phone. Why do you have my phone?!” Sophie asked.

“I have all your phones” said Monokuma. He then took out all of our phones, lined them up, and walked all over them crushing them.

“What was that for?” asked Elliot.

“You don’t need to contact the outside anymore” said Monokuma. “Besides, anyone you call can’t get in anyway. They’ll either be shot or blown up if they try entering the doors!”

“What does the fucking door situation have to do with us killing each other?” asked Buck.

“Ah yes, the heart of the matter” said Monokuma. “Well, there is one way I’ll let you go. And that is if you kill someone and get away with it!”

“Wait, ‘get away with it’?” asked Cassy.

“That’s right!” said Monokuma, eagerly. “Starting today, you will all be involved in the game of mutual killing.” A sudden chill came over us. “Now, allow me to explain the rules. Rule 1: You can only escape this building if you successfully kill someone and get away with it. Rule 2: Any form of murder is allowed, provided you can perform it in this building. Rule 3: When three or more people discover a body a chime will sound to alert everyone that a murder has taken place. Rule 4: Once a body has been discovered, there will be a short investigation conducted by all of you. Rule 5: When the investigation is over, you will all be summoned to the basement where we will conduct a class trial. Rule 6: During the class trial, everyone will present their ideas about what happened. Rule 7: If during the class trial you all guess correctly as to who the killer is, then only the killer will be punished. But if the killer gets away with their crime, then everyone else will be punished. Rule 8: Any attempt to escape the killing game will result in punishment. Rule 9: Attacking Monokuma will result in punishment. Rule 10: Monokuma will not kill any student participating in the killing game. Rule 11: Anyone caught attempting to free Monobird will be punished. Rule END: Monokuma has the authority to add more rules whenever he feels like it.”

“So, when you say punishment…?” Cassy began.

“That’s right, baby! I’m talking about DEATH!” Monokuma squealed.

“I see” said Buck. “And what if we ‘conveniently’ forget one of these rules?”

“That won’t happen, because..” Monokuma said, taking something out of his pocket...I guess. “Dun du du da! I have Monopads for each and everyone of you! In here all of the rules are written. As well as detailed student profiles of you all. As well some some other things.” Monokuma began passing around these Monopads to each of us. “Now don’t go exchanging them. Even if they seem the same, the Monopads I gave you will only work for you. Now, LET THE KILLING GAME COMMENCE!” Monokuma shouted that as he mysteriously disappeared.

“MONOBIRD! How could you let this happen?!” May cried out.

“I didn’t let it it happen!” Monobird said. “He just got the better of me. I could have taken him out, but now I’m stuck in this cage. And I can’t get out. If I try I’ll short circuit. I figure I’d rather keep an eye on things here than attempt to break free.”

“Well that’s great!” shouted Buck. “We’re stuck in this fucking school and made to kill each other!”

“It’ll be fine” said Elliot. “All we have to do is not kill each other.”

“Yeah, but what if no one kills each other and we just starve because no food can get here?” Jay asked.

“That won’t happen. Monokuma is allowing us to use our backchannels to get you necessities” Monobird said. “But if any of you try to escape using them you will be killed, along with the people bringing you things.”

He’s still allowing food and stuff in? That doesn’t sit right with me. I need to check that out.

“So, like Elliot said, all we have to do in not kill each other, good sirs and madams” Troy said. “That should be simple enough.”

“Yeah” said Sophie. “Let’s not worry about this for now, and just live like we have been living.”

“I agree” said Rachel.

Everyone began to disperse and do their own thing. I had too many questions on my mind to just try and shrug this off.

I’ll start with Monobird. “Hey Monobird…” I said, casually.

“Yes?”

“Which of you came first?”

“...You are of course referring to our similarities in appearance. Monokuma actually came first. We had seen that the Ultimate Killer had used it in a previous killing of theirs. When we entered the building everyone was dead already. We tried taking him, but it resulted in most of us going to the hospital for a prolonged period of time. So, we built Monobird to be stronger than Monokuma, just in case something like this happened. Not that it did much good.”

“And everyone in that building was killed by Monokuma himself?”

“Monokuma said as much when we raided the building. He even showed  us how he did it. Everything seemed consistent.”

“I see. Do you know why those people were being targeted?”

“Sadly, we do not. There’s some speculation that it had to do with a missing persons case a few months before the incident, but we don’t know for sure.”

“Can you tell me about that?”

“...I will tell you as much as I’m allowed to tell you. The setting for both the missing persons case and the first Monokuma incident was an office building. One day, the office’s boss ends up missing. A temporary person was sent in to continue while we conducted our investigation. The temporary went out on an errand, and that’s when Monokuma entered. He locked the remaining employees in the building. We don’t know what happened in there, but when we got there, we broke down the door and saw that everyone died.”

“So, Monokuma didn’t make the preparations he made this time?”

“I guess so. Anyway, a few days after the massacre, the missing boss came back and reversed a decision that he had made, telling the public that the Ultimate Killer kidnapped him and killed everyone of his employees to force him to do this.”

“What was the decision?”

“It was about giving money to Hope’s Peak Academy.”

“I see…”

“After that, we looked into both the temporary boss, as well as any vocal opponents of Hope’s Peak. However, we could not find a shred of evidence for them, and some of them have really good alibis.”

“Don’t you think it’s strange though?”

“What is?”

“That the Ultimate Killer doesn’t seem to like Hope’s Peak? Between that, and forcing us 16 students of Hope’s Peak through this killing game, it seems that the Ultimate Killer hates Hope’s Peak Academy.”

“Why is that weird?”

“Because the Ultimate Killer says that they graduated from Hope’s Peak. Furthermore, you told us that they were on the staff at Hope’s Peak.”

Monobird was in shock. “I-I have to go. I need to report this to my commander right away!”

“WAIT!”

*click*

It seems Monobird shut off. No matter, I have questions I need to ask other people Starting with the obvious person. I looked around for Pierce, and sure enough, I found him in the art room again with Andy. “Pierce, can I talk to you for a second?”

Pierce looks at me for a moment. “Sure. Hey, I’m going to be out for a bit, are you good on your own?”

“Mmmmmm, I think so” said Andy.

“Great, I’ll see you later” Pierce said. We walked into the hall. “I’m guessing you think that I’m the Ultimate Killer.”

How does he know what I’m thinking? “Yes” I said dryly. “Or at least related to them in some way.”

“Well, I get where you’re coming from. I’m the weird guy, who can sense what other people are feeling. But rest assured, I am not the Ultimate Killer, nor am I related to them.”

“Somehow, I find that hard to believe.”

“I had a feeling you’d say that. Well, since we’re in this situation already, I might as well be open about it. I knew this was coming.”

“Wha-? How?!”

“Do you remember the dinner we attended for the Hope’s Peak open house?”

“I do.”

“Well, I sensed a dark presence then. I didn’t know what it was, but it was evil.”

“Tha-That’s different than knowing THIS was going to happen!” I almost believe him now, after saying something that stupid.

“Ha ha, I guess you’re right.”

“So, how come you can sense things anyway? It seems like an odd skill for a weapons expert.”

“Maybe at first, but not if you think about it. See, this skill actually plays into my weapons expertise. If someone has a weapon and I can sense what they’re feeling, I can make an effort to calm them down and disarm them.”

“I can see where that skill would be useful.”

“Because even though I like weapons, I cannot condone using them. Without a good reason, of course.”

“Like how Troy uses his sword?”

“Exactly. And truth be told, that’s also the reason I’ve been hanging around Andy. He’s a bag of nerves. I can’t stand the thought of someone like that doing something they’ll regret because they were too afraid to confront themselves.”

I guess if I had the ability, I’d be worried about Andy too. I could sense his nervousness without that ability honed. I can’t imagine what it must be like with it. “Alright, I guess your story checks out. But the second it doesn’t, I’m coming for you with all my might.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Pierce went back into the art room. I can finally sense where he’s coming from. It must be hard to sense those kinds of things in people all the time. But I’m kind of glad the person with that kind of power is a guy like him.

There was someone else I thought could be related, and I have a feeling I know where they are. I walked upstairs and made my way to her room, and knocked.

“I’ll be there in a second” Cassy said. Sure enough, she was there. She opened the door. “Come in.” I came in at her request “What is it? I’m trying to work though what I know.”

I saw that she was vigorously going over what she had collected before. “Well, I want to ask you about a few things.”

“I don’t have time! I need to find out who the Ultimate Killer is before anything happens.”

“Well then, I guess I’ll get straight to the point. How can any of us be sure you’re not the Ultimate Killer?”

She looked at me like I was an idiot. “Are you an idiot?!”

“Well, it doesn’t seem too much out of the realm of possibility. A genius detective turning out to actually be a serial killer that they can’t catch. It seems plausible.”

“That kind of thing only happens in mystery novels. Usually serial killers are just people with a specific goal in mind, or just kill for fun.”

“Well then here’s a goal for you. To always have a mystery.”

“What kind of goal is that?”

“Well, it seemed like you get really enthusiastic about working a case.” I was starting to get a little nervous.

“Well, yeah, but how’s that a good reason for accusing me of this? If I was the one behind this, I’d be out there, leading the police on a wild goose chase, and then figuring out a way to get in to save you, only to be too late and find all of you dead. Not in this Hell, being accused by someone of being the very thing I hate.”

She has a point. “I’m sorry” I said softly.

“*sigh* It’s OK. I don’t blame people for coming to the wrong conclusion. Especially when the situation is as dire as this, where their head can get all messed up. If I blamed people for coming to the wrong conclusion, I wouldn’t have such a good rapport with the police.”

“I see…” I said. I don’t know if I should take that as a positive or a negative.

“I just can’t wrap my head around a few things.”

“If you want, I have some information that might help.” I tell her everything I learned from Monobird and Pierce.

“I see. That is very helpful. But why didn’t Pierce stop it when he felt something off?”

“My guess is that while he can sense things like he can, if he doesn’t know who or what he’s looking for, it’s hard to pinpoint.”

“Hmmm. I guess that makes sense. Well, thanks for coming in.”

“Wha-”

“I have to reorganize my corkboard now, so can you please leave?”

“Uh, sure” I said. I left her room. There was one other person I needed to talk to. I went out to the top of the stairway. “Hey Monokuma!” I called out.

Monokuma popped out out of nowhere. “Oh? It’s so unusual for someone to be contacting me right away. What can I do ya for?”

Just looking at Monokuma makes me feel uneasy. “I have some questions I’d like to ask.”

“Interesting…” said Monokuma. “I might have answers for you. Depending.”

“First thing’s first, Monobird told me you appeared as Monokuma once before. He said that you just killed everyone. Is there more to it than that?”

Monokuma just stood there. “...Ya got me. Yes, I was trying to play a game of mutual killing with those fine office people, but they didn’t want to play with me. Instead, they tried to attack me. So I killed them all.”

Just as I feared.

“Still, bird brain remembers that?” Monokuma said gleefully. “How sweet of him.”

“A-anyway” I said. “You have the power to kill us all instantly then. Why not use it?”

“It’s more fun that way!” Monokuma laughed.

He’s hiding something. “Why us though? Surely this game could have been populated by just anyone.”

“Pooh-hoo, wouldn’t you like to know?”

Chills ran down my spine. “My next few questions are about the game itself. First, you want us all dead, right?”

“Is that the full question?”

“Wha-no. My question is couldn’t you just tamper with the evidence to make us think it was the wrong person so we’d vote for them?”

“I see, I see. To answer your question, that would ruin the fun of the game, and I’m not here to ruin your fun. So, no, I won’t tamper with the crime scenes or evidence.”

“Second, what are the rules for accomplices? Are they punished as well?”

“Hmmmm. I don’t mind the idea, but for the sake of the game, there can only be one blacked at a time. If two or more people cooperate in a murder, only the one who commited the murder will be punished.”

“So, what about if two people kill two other people?”

“See, this is where it get tricky” Monokuma said. “But there can be no more than two murders at a time, even if the same person is killing someone. And once an investigation starts, it has to be followed though. If another body is found during an investigation, that killing will not be investigated.”

“So, what if someone finds themself in a fatal situation on accident, an someone could save them, but doesn’t?”

“Explain!”

“Well, for instance, what if someone trips into a pool and can’t swim. But someone is there who can, but doesn’t, or takes something away from them that could save them.”

“Oooooooooh! How devilish. In that instance, that person will be considered blackened.”

“What if someone accidentally manages to break one of your rules? Like someone poisons something and three people eat it on accident.”

“No exceptions.”

“Finally, what happens if you break one of these rules?”

Monokuma just stood there again. “I won’t break any of these rules. But, if you insist I would, then I suppose that if that were to happen, then the rules would cease to be in effect.”

“Care to get that all in writing?”

“Pooh-hooh. Anything for my favorite murder victim.” Monokuma disappeared. Suddenly an announcement came on. “Attention class members of Hope’s Peak Academy: Due to the persistence of one of you, namely Justin Arbil, I will now add more rules to the killing game. Have fun killing.”

I looked at my Monopad. Sure enough, all of the new rules were implemented. I noticed that “Rule END” was still at the bottom. I guess that means he can still add some things, if he so chooses.

Suddenly, I heard all of my fellow classmates rush up the stairs. “Hey guys. How is it going?”

“DON’T FUCK WITH US!” Buck shouted. “WHY DID YOU ADD MORE RULES TO THIS THING WE AREN’T DOING?!”

“Yeah!” said May. “Do you want us to start the killing game?! DO you want us to all die?!”

“It’s not like that” I cried out.

“Then what is it like, good sir? If I can still call you that” Troy growled.

“Yeah, how do we know YOU’RE not the one who trapped us in here and forced us to kill each other?” accused Tammy.

“Yeah, you were asking that about Pierce earlier” Andy said with conviction. “Who’s to say that you did just do that to pull the heat off of you?”

“I’m not” I said softly.

“Why should we believe you?” said Roman, fusiously.

“I hope this isn’t true” said Maria.

“You were asking about our talents yesterday. How do we know that you weren’t looking to see what makes us tick?” said Annabelle.

“Yeah, come to think of it, you’re the only one here without a talent” said Elliot. “I’d say that’s miiiiighty suspicious of you.”

“It’s not true, is it?” Sophie asked.

“Well, we should keep an eye on him” said Rachel.

“I say we just lock him in his room and forget about him” said Duke.

“THAT’S ENOUGH!” shouted Pierce from the crowd. “We can’t just go ganging up on people like this and accusing them. We have to stick together, if we want to make it through this.”

I was shocked. “Why are you doing this?”

“Um, yeah why ARE you doing this?” asked Andy. “I mean, he accused you of this as well.”

“That’s no reason to accuse him. He was just looking for answers” said Pierce.

“But, so are we” said Duke.

“You wanted to lock him in his room before he got the chance to answer” said Cassy, standing out of the crowd. “That’s not the same, and you know it.”

Everyone was shocked. “Right, I’m sorry. Go ahead” said Duke. I was confused. “Well, are you going to explain or not?”

“I’m afraid” I answered.

“What?!” said Duke, taken aback.

“I’m afraid” I admitted again. “Monokuma- no, the Ultimate Killer, has the ability to just kill us all instantly. Yet he wants us to play this sick game of his. There has to be a reason for it.”

“Well, like we said, good sir” Troy began, “we just won’t play this game of his.”

“But we can’t just do that!” I said. “Look at what he’s done overnight. He trapped Monobird. Replaced all of the escape traps with deadly ones. Set up a camera system. Set up a way to announce things. Took our phones right out from under us. All in the span of one night. This guy’s no joke. If he wants us to play this killing game, then sooner or later we will play this game whether we want to or not. That’s why I’m afraid of him.”

“So then, why all the new rules?” asked Maria.

“Because I need to hold him to it as well” I answered. “I need to prepare him just in case he messes up. I’m looking for any opening I can take to make sure that none of us die.”

“Aww, and here I thought you wanted to make the game more exciting” Monokuma’s voice echoed. He then appeared out of nowhere again. “But he’s right. You all can’t just ignore the game forever. I will be sure to get these killings off to a ROARing start. BAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Monokuma!” Cassy shouted. “I have a question for you.”

“What is it?” Monokuma said, annoyed.

“Is the Ultimate Killer, or someone helping the Ultimate Killer, someone among us?” asked Cassy.

“Welllllll..” Monokuma began, “if I say ‘yes’ you wouldn’t believe me, and if I said ‘no’ you wouldn’t believe me either. So, I’m going to leave that for you guys to figure out. Bye bye now!” Monokuma left as mysteriously as he appeared.

“I don’t care what he says,” said Pierce, “but there’s no way any of us are helping him.” We all nodded in agreement.

“But still, Monokuma said it himself, the killings will begin” said Cassy. “Are we prepared for when that happens? For when one of us turns our back on the others and kills someone?” We all looked at each other. She’s right. So long as the game is happening, we have to keep safe from anyone wanting to do harm to us. Including ourselves.

We all decided to turn in for the evening. It’s hard to face this new reality that we’re in. But soon enough we have to face it. Before I went to my room I stopped Pierce and Cassy to say “Thank you for that. I don’t know what would have happened if that kept up.”

“...It’s fine” said Cassy. “I would have done that for anyone.”

“No worries, man” said Pierce. “We just gotta stick together in times like these.”

Stick together, huh? Can we do that, and keep ourselves safe from each other? Only time will tell, but I sure hope we can.

[franeridart]

Didn't they all take the practical exam at the same time in the manga?? I'm confused....

Yeah, they changed that part orz I’m really unhappy about that for a number of reasons, but I guess their reasoning was that they wanted the anime to end with the Baku Deku vs All Might fight and in the manga that’s, like, the second fight to be done with? And if they had kept the order the anime would have ended with Mineta and Sero, so… I guess I get why they went for this, but still. I can’t say I like it orz

Anon said:I’m sure you’re expecting this ask but kiribaku study date!! :3 I can’t believer Bakugou ACTUALLY tried to beat the learning into kirishima XD

Well, it’s beginning-of-the-story-Bakugou after all, what else could we even expect from him hahaha Kirishima passed the written part tho, so it must have worked!!

Anon said:Wait hold up you’ve got me interested now. So I’m like a little past halfway through soul eater and I haven’t started the manga YET (I totally will now that you’ve suggested it) but… When did tsubaki turn into a boy??

It doesn’t happen in the anime! It’s ch 72 to… 74? 75? They go somewhere where all the girls get turned into boys and vice versa for a while! (That’d be Soul, Maka, Blair, Black Star, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, Kilik, Thunder and Fire) (Liz and Patty look especially amusing lmao)

Anon said:what do u think abt kats*deku???? If u dont ship them - why?

I’m pretty sure I gave an in depth answer to this question a couple of times already, but do you think I’ve been able to find it? (I haven’t) so to make a fast recap, I only like them as friends, nothing sexual and nothing romantic - I really, really, really want to see them become friends, but I can’t see the necessary chemistry for any other kind of relationship between them, right now

And that’s also why I don’t ship it? I just can’t see it working in a way such that both of them are as happy as they can be, and I only ship if I can see both characters being happy in the relationship - foundamentally Bakugou and Izuku are different on all the wrong things, a big part of the reason why they fight so much is that their ways of living are different, to make a space for each other in their lives big enough that they won’t step on each other’s toes every two steps they take they should change their core personalities a lot. 

And I’m not talking about Bakugou, specifically, I’m talking about both of them. I do know that the fandom likes to pick Bakugou and turn his personality inside-out to make him fit with Deku in such a way that Deku will be happy, but realistically that’s only gonna make Bakugou miserable. It’s true that most faults rest on Bakugou’s shoulders as far as their relationship goes, but Deku isn’t the sort of person fit to be with Bakugou either - and I can’t have Bakugou make a 180° on his personality, force himself to be someone he’s not, just to accomodate Deku. I like Bakugou as he is, and I want to see him grow up while growing into himself. And while I do prefer Bakugou as a character, I happen to like Deku as he is very much as well, I don’t want him to turn into another person just to accomodate Bakugou’s personality either

So this turns into “either I change these two characters to make them fit together, or I let them be just friends and actually find characters that do fit with them as they are already”, and personally, I’m always gonna go for the second option. I mean, why would I want to ship them when I can ship bakushima t b h

Of course you’re free to ship it if to you the chemistry is more obvious than it is to me! It’s just not my cup of tea at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anon said:Could I possibly see a comic with Kirishima being tied between Ashido and Bakugo??? I thought it’d be cute since some people *cough cough* me *cough* may or may not be tied between Kirimina and Bakushima. :3

I………….. can’t do that, sorry orz triangles aren’t my thing at all. It’s either the polyship or bakushima, triangles get on my nerves more than any other plot device does to be completely honest with you. Triangles are the bane of my existence

Anon said: Hi there! I just wanted to say I’ve been scrolling through all your Bakushima art for ages and it’s healed me :,) fr tho i lov how you portray them and their dynamic and you have a lovely art style! Thank you for blessing us ahah

Anon said:Someone doesn’t know Soul Eater?! Now I feel old (・・;)

Haha, well it’s not really about being old/young as much as it’s about how long one’s been into anime/how far back they go when they decide to watch something new~ Soul Eater hasn’t had an active fandom for ages now, after all!

Code: Realize ~ Sousei no Himegimi Episode 8

Code: Realize ~ Sousei no Himegimi Episode 8

I AM SO TRIGGERED RIGHT NOW, I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I KNEW IT. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SAINT-GERMAIN’S SECRET WOULD BE REVEALED!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh well you know what, that’s that, we have to live it with, at least I played so I am not spoiled, but if you haven’t played and you didn’t want to be, I feel for you, I really do. If you have not watched the episode yet, and you don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading right here because I can’t hold back since they revealed Saint-Germain’s secret.

BUT MY EMOTIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I AM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTIONS SAINT-GERMAIN PULLS MY HEART STRINGS SO MUCH, MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT DAMNIT. AHHH! Okay truth to be told, even if you are spoiled, you’re probably going to enjoy playing his route because OF ALLL THE FEELSSSS!!!!!!!

This episode was really good. In fact, I would say this is the strongest episode to date. The pace was just right, not too fast and not too slow, it made the episode feel longer than usual but without feelings like wasting time. In the last post, I wasn’t quite sure how they were going to use the remaining episodes, but now I have a lot more faith everything is probably going to fall into place and this would mean the adaption wrapping up on a high note. It also helped how the execution of the events were exciting to watch as well. I knew Lupin was going to be shot, but I still shouted, “OH SHIT. LUPIN SHOT. AND DOWN.”

For one I appreciated the amount of time and detail they put into the terrorist attacks unfolding, and it’s very different to see it unfolding on screen than in literary text that doesn’t go as deep as a novel would in terms of delivering the event. I also felt the Queen’s delivery was much stronger this time than the last we saw her. Twilight is pulling a Coup D’Etat, but the lady’s a dignified badass, and tough as steel, so she may say its laughable to be working alongside a band of thieves, but when it comes to dealing with a common enemy she can’t stand, she isn’t going to pass up on the opportunity to crush them on a united front. Oh and I don’t know about you guys, I ship Leonhardt x Queen Victoria so hard, I can’t remember which route is it, maybe Victor’s, but AHHHHHHHH THE WAY THE TWO INTERACT AND THEIR BACKSTORY, I CAN’T!

Ahem, but most importantly, I liked the way they revealed Saint-Germain’s secret, and delivered his scenes, especially how conflicted he is over his task of assassinating Cardia.

So Saint-Germain is an apostle of an organization called Idea. Their job is to oversee Humanity and prevent them from going astray from their original path. One of his colleagues, Guinevere shows up to Saint-Germain tells him he needs to kill Cardia now since they are running out of time. But Saint-Germain doesn’t want to. He wants to believe she and their friends can defy the fate that looms over them, so he pleads for more time. He later finds Cardia, and confesses everything to her, he even tells her how he loves her and the others, (although I can go on and on about him loving Cardia, but I’m going to hold back because you’ll never hear the end of it) and how he has been tasked to kill her. Of course he’s not going to kill her, he loves her too much and wants to believe in her, but I think he (if I recall correctly) is going to introduce her to his leader in attempt to buy more time.

Now Cardia faces a tough situation. She is in a very difficult position because she now knows the true purpose of Code: Realize, a plot to rebel against God, and how it’s not just the poison, but her very existence is a threat to all of humanity. Eliminating her is essential for putting a stop to Isaac’s plans. Basically it’s the gist of it is, Finis is the Vessel and Cardia is the one who carries the Horologium, and in order to put the plan into action, they are to fuse together and reign destruction by basically ending the world to start anew. The girl has a lot of weight on her shoulders right now, and the timing is especially sad since she finally had the confidence to declare she is not a monster.

The only thing I realized that is sorely lacking so far is the fact I felt Cardia was more engaged with fights in game during this event than what we saw today. There were a couple of missed opportunities for them to truly showcase her “abilities” she picked from her lessons, but the only scene she actually contributed in any way was using her poison to melt the lock, which is disappointing to say the least.

Then there is the matter of Finis. I don’t know, I feel like he is being underplayed a bit, especially since they skipped Isaac’s Lab event. While they may have avoided repetitive dialogue taking place one episode apart, I still think it watered down his impact. Finis is an asshole, but a clever one. He is always one step ahead of the rest and outwits them, just as he had today. He knew they would try to save the Queen, so he blocked off their escape path and met them there. But if there’s one redeeming factor, at least his voice actor is nailing his insanity, the guy always sounds crazy every time he interacts with Cardia, not to mention his obsession with their father.

Lastly, while Saint-Germain finally had a turn of being in the spotlight for a bit this week, there is one man who also threw me off the cliff of feels and that was just Van smiling at Cardia. I lost it. THAT SMILE OKAY?! IT PIERCED THROUGH MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
