#Ummm not really related to Masked

[artblock-tm]

H. Hhhh. Hi. I don't know if you'd want to/be okay with this but. But. But

🤝 with Skaide 🥺

(If not then Jaide/Moonjumper with the same prompt! It's totally okay if you do this one instead)

Grins :)

For everyone who doesn’t know, Sky belongs to the asker here, and is zeir AHiT OC! Sky and Jaide have been shipped (only in an rp so far, but now also in this drabble) <3

At first I figured that I wouldn’t know how to characterize Sky, and then I realized…I just didn’t have to.

So! Sorry, this one is shorter than the Hollow Knight one, but I think it’s sweet :)

Words: 215

Characters: Jaide (My OC) and Sky (Friend’s OC)

Warnings: None :) Just some introspection on Jaide’s bitter loneliness and how she loves

Together, Jaide decided, that’s how I want things to be.

It felt…nice…to be together. For their palms to be together, fingers interlocked, the contact sending emotional shivers through Jaide’s soul.

When had she last had softer thoughts like this? How long ago had it been since she sat back and thought to herself that she liked something? At least centuries, if not decades.

That was a lonely way to spend an afterlife, but all of that was erased in the face of someone who had no concept of time. With Sky by her side, time waned away, and the massive expanse of time Jaide had existed seemed like nothing.

Jaide had been alone for all that time. She’d been cold for all that time. She’d never met anyone in all that time. She’d never held hands in all that time. All that time made one forget what it menat to be together…

…but Sky could easily remind Jaide.

And the reminder was nice.

When had she last had happy thoughts like this?

Perhaps a bit greedily, Jaide took Sky’s other hand. It wasn’t enough for one of their hands to be touching, she needed two. Jaide smiled gently, eyes brimming with tears, giving Sky’s palm a gentle squeeze.

She hoped they would be together forever.

thinking about plane arc originally being 2 eps before they expanded it to 3 and Masks clearly originally planned to be airing on Halloween but it instead had to be before (holiday ep can't really air after). Eddie having a fake stache in the Masks we got so Confessions being filmed prior. the order was likely supposed to go beenado/plane arc -> No Place Like Home -> Confessions -> Masks. Billy Boils was supposed to parallel Buck and how he was feeling. "an episode with a lot of movement for his character"? a post getting dumped Buck relating to Billy Boils who was left behind, overcompensating and acting crazy, physically manifesting his stress and turmoil, but ultimately turning to his posse who always comes together for each other and finding value in his connections with the people he loves and perhaps an exploration of his relationship with his self worth coming out of that... alternate universe Buckisode 8.05 Masks ummm you are everything 2 me... I never met you but I miss you...

[meowsticmarvels]

ok wait dumping this in a tumblr post buuuuut reasons why i think phis autistic as Fuck!!! not structured and a lot of these could be considered a stretch but i just. Think it is a bit real personally . if anyone else cares. some spoilers ahead i think i dont remember where im tired right now but i wouldnt suggest looking at this if you havent finished the game. yeah. :3

- she speaks with a very monotone and flat voice throughout both games she's in (though it's more evident how flat it is in VLR's voice acting). of course she can be emotional at times but like.. in comparison to the other characters shes very inexpressive. multiple of her sprites in VLR are just variations of the :| face . looking at VLR's other sprites which are much more expressive its more her just being like that it seems. i dont think i have to explain why im putting this here she is SO deadpan with her delivery

- speaking of the above when sigma gets stabbed by mira diana's crying while phi has barely a reaction apart from "it might even affect me more than you". It's not that she doesn't FEEL these emotions strongly its just more that she's bad at expressing them. she has a few moments where she's particularly angry (see: her yelling at delta for example, or pushing kyle away) or upset (see the shoot: live end of fire where she breaks down in front of diana, or luna end when sigma abandons her) and it just all falls apart and Breaks yknow. but this is not the norm for her

- she's.. Very blunt . i don't have to explain this. even during vlr itself iirc this makes a couple people go Ummm what the fuck okay

- eric comments rhat she has a really weird stare that unnerves him a bit. this might just be an eric thing or about her doll but listen to me.;

- her ZTD doll is the only one with no mouth whatsoever which could be an allusion to her inability to express her emotions (maybe) (could be a stretch but there are a LOT of interpretations here i can pull my list from twt if anyone wants me to elaborate)

- theres a few moments i can remember (like once or twice) where she makes a super dry joke and people take her completely seriously. it happens at least once in vlr i can confirm though

- the whole thing with her reaction to the luminol reads as a sensory issues thing but i might be crazy on this one

- infodumps. so much. there's multiple moments she tries to but gets cut off before she can but it happens. A lot. especially about anything related to psychology or physics (includes stuff like quantum mechanics, annihilation energy, the prisoner's dilemma, schrodinger's cat alien hand syndrome, etc. she also almost infodumps about missiles once)

- there's some aini short where mizuki's playing vlr. one of the things she says to aiba is like "hey phi's kind of like you aiba! neither of you can read the room!" Mizuki do you know what you are saying. Hey

- a couple additional lines from safe mode dialogue: phi saying she won't do a puzzle because she'll "get her hands dirty" (though it could just be a joke), and another time where sigma says "so there IS a sense of humor behind that mask."

etho is very much a trans woman to me. It took her a veryyy long time to have even an inkling she was trans and then a lot of prodding from outside sources to actually figure it out all the way. She wears a ton of layers for dysphoria reasons (even before she knew what dysphoria was) like the mask, jacket, etc etc, and mostly just keeps her face and body obscured rather than do anything to change her appearance. Her partners (and also the surprising amount of people that just show up and flirt with her) think they have it great during the period just after she comes out because they have a much broader arsenal of things they can say to make her flustered. But then when she realizes she actually enjoys figuring out fashion and appearance related stuff and gets very gender-euphoria-y and confident in her appearance in the same way she's confident in like. her redstone machines it's all over for them because originally the dynamic was 'we are very endeared and in love with etho and it's very cute when she gets embarrassed or flustered by flirting' but it becomes 'we are very endeared and in love with etho and she is suddenly very pretty and she is aware of this and not to flustered to flirt back.' Anyways I think she would love wearing red and black dresses with lots of shiny bits and I think she'd try to figure out how to chemically produce her own estrogen

sorry for ranting abt trans ethoslab in your asks but i project onto that man

no no- you’re ALL GOOD!!!

i really like transfem etho headcanons, and self projecting is VERY AMAZING TOO!!! she’d be an absolute cutie in dresses fr. your ask kinda came in at an appropriate time, because i had previously drawn transfem etho for an art request!!

(and you mentioned about etho’s partners, who are they?? i am SO CURIOUS ON UR ETHOSHIPPING OPINIONS AAAA) (btw i believe in t4t cletho!!!! even better when you shine the beam of sapphicism on them <3)

[Fionna and Cake Spoilers]

Look fam, Adventure time is my daily bread and butter, after catching up with 4 eps I have some... uh "opinions" on certain characters that I need to get out of my chest-

FINNN MY BOY LOOK AT YOU ALL GROWN UP 😭🤧🥺💕

I am so happy to see him again, and as much as I loved his adult Obsidian design I also have a liking to this one- he's so meaty I wanna brrrr those pecs and bite his arms. But also I feel so sad for him like, he's obviously distracting his grief for Jake by going from one adventure to another and, baby boy are you okay?? Lay on my shoulder and lets confront your feelings together 🥺

UMMM HELLO?? 😳🥴

Ahhh Huntress wizard was always my favorite background character and seeing NOT ONLY HER F&C COUNTER PART but he likes plants!? Sign me the fuc up, I adore Hunter, I would hike through thorny bushes and get bitten by mosquitos voluntarily if it means hanging out with this hunk as he talks non stop about different types of weeds and flowers 🥰

WHOO IS THIS NEW HOTTIE?

Brah from the cool mask to the suit I am just sold so easily like, I vibe so much with his design and his role as our main antagonist. Like don't get me wrong I don't want him to replace Prismo and kill Fi's world but if he calls me up to go eat steak and drink tea I would answer in a heart beat. Gotta love a man who has his professional priorities in order. Also that bandaged look he had at the beginning was really cool too, with the multiple eyes and all.

Oh, dear precious Simon you can't catch a break can you? Let's wrap you up in a blanket so you can talk to me about you ex, we'll get ya through this buddy 🥺

DAMN BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?

I wasn't huge on Prismo as a character in AT but in F&C I can totally understand the need to create something original and for yourself rather than creating for the sake of others. I'd love to move in as a roomie and help him clean up a bit, I can't take him to AA meetings but I can bring them to him lol. Maybe creating sentient universes isn't a good idea but the Sims 4 is close enough.

GIRL, SHE IS JUST LIKE ME FR FR

I can relate so much to Fi's daily life omg, I started watching Adventure Time when I was in middle school so seeing her now in a similar setting as my early adult life is so wild and comforting to me. She has a special place in my heart, oh and she caked up like damn, in the og series she didn't strike me as a teen but I can definitely see her now as a grown ass woman. And in shorts! I love wearing shorts, they're so comfy. I wanna hang at a sleep over with her, watching dumb action or scary movies, eat ice cream as we talk about our break ups ;w;

That's about it, thank you to my Ted talk. I'll try to finish my requests as soon as I can to open my inbox again cause damn, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!! 11!

[udaberriwrites]

Hm, how about Julian Bashir for the character ask game?

Julian Bashir

1: sexuality headcanon

Disaster bi, emphasis on the disaster. Most likely xenosexual too, and proud of it.

2: otp

Being completely unoriginal, my otp is with the tinker, tailor, soldier, spy himself, Elim Garak. They have so many little, flirty moments, seriously, plus there's the other ways they fit together. They both know the value of secrets, they can let their guard down around each other, they understand the other on a deeper level, and it just works, idk.

I'm also unreasonably attached to my little Julian/Leeta/Rom rareship, even if it has pretty much no basis from canon. It's still cute and mutually supportive and I love ir.

3: brotp

A tie with both O'Brien and Dax! They fit different niches in his life, but they are trustworthy and dependable but also willing to get drawn into the stupidest contests and petty debates with him.

In other words, O'Brien is the "our braincells cancel each other out when in close proximity friend". Dax is the bi "let's rank how hot everyone on the station is" bestie.

4: notp

None really? Ummm... maybe Kai Winn? On the basis of her being Kai Winn and thus opposed to fun? Though talk about crack pairings xD

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

I really like the idea that he's on the autistic spectrum, because the genetic treatments certainly weren't a "cure". He just learned to hide and create very convincing masks while he was under his parent's thumb.

On a lighter note... that he also has slept with Captain Boday, and like Dax he doesn't understand why the transparent skull would be a problem.

6: favorite line from this character

"It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Are we so different from the Romulans or the Cardassians? If push comes to shove, if we become... angry enough or desperate enough, would we stay true to our ideals? Or would we just... return here? Right back were we started?"

Oh Julian... the show is going to take that question and beat you and Sisko both over the head with the answer ☹️

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I mean, fanfic writer here, I admire his and O'Brien's dedication to LARPing xD

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The 'crush on Jadzia' subplot from the beginning of S1. I was thankful when he outgrew it and I don't buy the "it was true love" pitch the show tries to sell me. It was a crush, and their friendship was beautiful, shut up.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon roll.

[llycaons]

atogai pt. 3/4(?). matters are progressing as stupidly as you can imagine, but there's a lot more kissing so ig the author considers that worth it. idk if EYE do bc they're still doing to it maintain their foolish disguises!!!

it's gotten to the point where their horny thoughts for each other are interfering in their internal monologues.

kadou is like almost having a breakdown and evemer is like wow he's so beautiful....I wish I could make out with him and solve all his problems

in many ways it IS very like fanfic. the romantic prose is certainly starting to sound familiar

omg they're doing sleepover questions...

virgin evemer not a surprise. bisexual evemer moreso. nice! rowland broke the stereotype of the stoic intense yearning gayboy

ace melek. hello ace melek!

bi tadek and I don't even mind he's a bit of a slut. I like him even tho he's kind of obnoxious

gay kadouuuu

honestly the fact that they're having this conversation at all is kind of hilarious and very ummm fandomy in the sense that this is something only a modern audience would care about or put labels on, but I don't even mind? I think it's fun. EYE like to know anyway. apparently in this universe they construct attraction the same way! sure!

also I love how evemer's first crush was an incandescently angry 16 year old girl with huge muscles. he's the post that's like 'my type is women who could look like they could beat me up and men who wouldn't stand a chance' I actually relate a lot

it helps that this is such a fantastical setting so you don't feel like it's being ahistorical or disrespectful of an actual region's culture or people. like...it's quite silly and fun and that's the point. no homophobia no misogyny no transphobia

unlike mask of mirrors, there are non-binary people (a lot, judging ny pronouns only, and the author is nb too), but also apparently no trans women or men? that can't be right...you'd think they would mention them at least. with such a culture, trans ppl and transitioning must be supported. I imagine

anyway I knew siranos was a shady fucker!!!!! I CALLED IT!!!! he was party to way too many state secrets for just A Guy who the sultan liked to fuck!! and he interfered in the investigation!!! why was HE there that night huh!!!!

their government is so fragile and inefficient...just the sultan and her heir and her brother. and ONE commander. eozena doesn't have a second in command?

honestly kadou insisting on going out when he's easily identifiable and extremely valuable is so stupid, strategically speaking, and there's no good reason that he should be doing this. it's very contrived. like I know he wants to be doing something but like... dude your wants and mental health are not the most important part of this situation sorry. people are literally dead

initially ppl had to argue w him to get him to even ask for stuff and now he's like um I'm Doing This. but it's stupid!! he's literally one of the only people left who could run the government!!!

not that I care about the maintenance of the monarchy, but THEY clearly do

evemer being a bad kisser is great. virgin bisexual king. it would even be great if he was kind of inexperienced and bad at sex too but idk if that would ruin the romance for ppl. it's kind of fun that kadou is the experienced one even tho he's the shy anxious slightly younger one

damn I wonder if there's age ratings on books. the only one I ever saw was on mdzs. you can't really tell if a book has a sex scene in it just by looking...when I was younger I was all shocked and horrified bc that all scared me but now it's just kind of inconvenient if I want to know and it doesn't say

if we even HAVE a sex scene. if mx. rowland cheats me out of one again AGAIN I'm going to be sooo mad. let it be known that's a good chunk of the reason why I'm even reading this. the context is...well ifyyk

oh and look he got captured

anyway this is stupid. like ppl can recognize him by his HAIR and he has the shittiest diguise...

honestly as soon as that incident happened where he didn't run and instead went back to save evemer a few weeks ago, evemer should have been removed from duty for him. bc that's not safe! having a guard you would die for? that kind of undermines the entire point of having a guard!

also them going out when the mastermind knows both of their faces....god damn this is dumb. OH WELL

oh huh evemer is used to ignoring and working through physical pain and kadou is used to working through mental distress. foils?

the dynamic here between a very loyal guard and a prince he swears to follow is expected, but not really my thing. I was lond of hoping for something more nuanced? alas. at least the issue of power imbalance is a huge theme that gets worked on pretty thoroughly

I am not someone who wants a kneeling knight emoji sorry. can you people get a grip

also. the bad guys KNOW WHERE THE SAFE HOUSE IS. WHY DIDN'T YOU IMMEDIATELY LEAVE...

why tf is kadou lying about evemer being a count. just say 'you're not going to kill me bc the sultan would destroy you for it, well if you kill evemer then EYE will destroy you for it.' like kadou is also a member of the royal family and he doesn't need to lie about that...

in the second half of this book it seems like over-cautiousness has given way to utter carelessness and poor judgement. like damn evemer, you're supposed to be the best!!! why is the princess still in a safe house that siranos knows about!! and you KNOW he knows!!!

also their fellow guard was beaten and imprisoned in a manor for hours bc they were like 'ummm we all have to sleep instead of raiding the manor' like you have NOBODY???

well whatever. they're married now ig. it worked

FINALLY they're making out for realsies in this dungeon they're being held in. aw sweet they're about to fuck

NOOOO WHY DID THEY STOP

MX. ROWLAND KEEPS EDGING MEEEEEEEE

swear to god just let them come....I'm so mad

AND I DON'T GET WHY. what's the harm of them having sex? why do they have to divorce vs. annulling? god this is not being explained properly

oh if they consummate then it would have to be a very ugly and public divorce...jfc it's not like anyone would KNOW

head in my hands

anyway in that sense the marriage served a purpose but I don't think it was THAT necessary? man I just wanted to see them fuck. mx. rowland is so cruel...

so the upshot of them being married is that evemer is now technically of an equal rank with kadou so he (evemer) is able to cross that last little gap between them, insist that kadou listens to what he says, and assures kadou that 1. he's okay and he also wants this 2. he's allowed to disobey orders if he wants to (he got that privilege last night from the sultan) and 3. he can physically disengage and leave if he needs to. which is enough to get kadou to relax his terror of abusing his power on someone of a lower rank than him and hurting evemer

and evemer had to be the one to initiate...honestly I know there's been a lot of kissing going on but I feel like kadou didn't make his own position clear enough that evemer would be confident in making that move. like...he's not wrong abt kadou also wanting it but also you two have known each other for less than two months and kadou has been sp careful and repressed so like.. how do you know...

in many ways the mdzs confession was very silly but having someone externally confirm lwj's feelings did solve the gridlock between lwj and wwx. here they did it on their own but I'm not rly sure how?

anyway their dynamic was never unpleasant, I actually always enjoyed it, but now it's really fun. lighthearted and playful and affectionate and horny. it's a good time. I like them together

I was thinking abt the title and how little it has to do with the actual core story and relationship but the bit with the pins was so neat...I like that

kadou being like 'this can't last' WHY NOT!!! for once can romance protags have some confidence in their love stories damn

oh tenzin is so funny

wait im sorry the hypercompetetent guards have just been SITTING there when they heard the prince had been taken? they didn't raid the shop in question? how useless ARE these people???

anyway they're all back, I kind of assumed they'd know they were together, but um...ig not. because...ohh their positions....they can't...he has to get married to a noble....oof...this does get me

like they know they like each other but they're not officially TOGETHER together. okay yeah that makes sense

evemer talks so much abput self-discipline and all but hmm he doesn't have anything on lan wangji sorreeee

very little left now but this is getting long

[bleue-flora]

@veyette I’m so glad to see you have some thoughts so I hope it’s ok if I talk about them (because it is apparently my hobby at this point to write lengthy analysis responses to things.) :) <3 <3 After all, I did put it out there for discussion and to spread the brain rot. And don’t get me wrong I’m not even sure I’m fully on board with this headcanon, but I just thought it was interesting to consider.

So, if I may counter, respectfully, and I do mean that because everyone has a right to their own opinion (even if it’s wrong lol jk XD), I want to first talk about your first statement. I will be honest with you this was one of the first things I read this morning - “I don’t think it makes sense since it is actually very cruel and as much as I think c!dream suffered I don’t think the other people on the dsmp would put him through this kind of humiliation” - and it almost made me laugh (probably related to my 4 hrs of sleep lol). I probably shouldn’t find it funny given the context but… we are talking about server members who supported the brutal murder of a defenseless guy twice and a torture box as justice. And like obviously most of them didn’t know about the conditions and certainly most didn’t know about c!Quackity, but they still signed off on solitary confinement (a form of torture)… And to be fair, we can’t really be that surprised because isn’t that kinda what they supported with c!Tommy’s exile? I mean we are talking about a story where murder, blackmail, torture, pranks, destruction, war, robbery, arson are just a typical fun afternoon so I don’t think cruelty is as issue here. Especially, if we are talking about c!Tommy because we are talking about someone who literally used the remains of c!Dream’s dead pet to blackmail him and make fun of him. We are talking about someone who beat his own cat to death just because c!Dream admitted to caring about it. We are talking about someone who spent time starving in prison and still thought it was a justifiable treatment of another person. We are talking about someone who humiliated c!Dream in the Disc Finale after he had already surrendered and dragged out his deaths to a painfully slow degree while the rest of the members cheered him on. We are talking about someone who murdered c!Dream in the beginning when he was armor-less, over and over and then bragged about it. I don’t think humiliation nor cruelty are by any means out of c!Tommy’s wheelhouse. And I don’t find it hard to believe that Wilbur would slight him like this, I mean the L’manberg Declaration of Independence ends with “SUCK IT GREEN BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!”… In regards, to Tubbo I mean he didn’t wear it around, which to be fair it is a really nice set of armor, and it is a victory so that would make sense. So maybe it does haunt him, which is why he sleeps better at night knowing exactly where it is. Knowing no one else will put on the haunting set. Oof yea that’s an interesting thought…I mean, paper seems like a bit of a jump, could it not just be made out of iron instead of netherite?… I mean I don’t know it’s an interesting point. Like are all of Dream’s helmets masks or just the netherite ones because netherite is a special material?……

(and ummm what?! That’s a thing?! I didn’t even know that was a headcanon for Exile and not gonna lie that’s kinda ridiculous and baseless, like to be fair, the mask headcanon is based in a canonical implication by c!Tommy so while not confirmed that it applies to the rest of the lore, it isn’t the most unreasonable conclusion to make. However, I find it absolutely wild that this Exile headcanon is even a thing, when is it at all referenced or implied Dream controlled what Tommy wore in Exile… like heh? Do I even want to ask about that nonsense (no yea actually I don’t even want to know). Come on y’all, now we are just really stretching to make Exile seem worse…yeesh…)

So, if in the finale c!Dream’s helmet, that he takes off for c!Tommy, represents his mask, does that mean that when c!Sapnap puts on c!Dream’s armor, Nightmare, he is putting on and stealing c!Dream’s mask? - Because I’m not gonna lie that really puts a new perspective on that betrayal… Furthermore, when c!Techno brings c!Dream armor in prison, did he make him a mask and bring it to him… and then take away the mask later? - If so, again that’s kinda screwed up. Though you could argue that perhaps he made c!Dream a mask for the jailbreak so he had one to face the server with and then because they were trying to not seem like allies he took it back, knowing that c!Dream would get another one. Which also begs the question, did c!Punz make c!Dream a mask for after prison or is he simply handing over one of c!Dream’s masks?… When c!Tommy in the minecart skirmish stole c!Dream’s armor, was he taunting him with his own mask? - Because oof that’s some serious violation and disrespect…

In other words, if you think that c!Dream’s helmet in the finale represents the mask (which I’d say is implied by c!Tommy) does that same logic apply across the board or is it just for that moment? And if it does apply to rest of the lore, wow does that have some implications…

were luna!! our main blog is lunar-lair, and we go by luna there, too, but we keep things hush-hush there to be safe (and because weve had that blog since we were 12 so we have a lot of followers oops). if youre a friend we linked to this blog, hi hello!! if youre someone we dont know well yet, welcome!

(info under read more; got a lil long lmao)

-youre free to ask system related questions! we make no promises on any real, solid answers, though, because were kind of clueless on a lot of stuff ourselves. experiences are sometimes something we can answer, but our memory is real extra bad so no promises there either, oops

-bodily 19, but we have a lot of ages up in this noggin!

-well update this if or when we figure that stuff out, but we dont really have frequent fronters cause our organization is reallllyyyy bad so far. well probably have people make intro posts as they front, but well see! if we do, well link a collection post or something.

-weve known for about 3 years? or ummm. 2021...yeah 3! were pretty sure its did and not osdd, the former just matches up more. we dont really know a whole ton though cause we learned a bunch and then forgot it all cause we started masking really heavily again the summer after we figured things out. oops.

-for more clarification on names, generally if we type like this or we dont clarify at all, we just go by luna as a whole system name. a lot of us type differently than others, though.

-as a unit, we identify as genderfluid because it fits us as a whole best/its the easiest thing to tell people, but we have a whole range of gender identities between all of us! we could probably give you an account, however secondhand, of a lot of different gender experiences. regardless, if we dont specify, were technically genderfluid, and if you ask us on the main blog, thats what well tell you.

-dont be surprised if the profile color changes a lot, were still feeling out what our collective favorite is! the main blog is only really purple because we all kind of like it/its been like that for forever/were "known" for that and have been our whole life. were trying to see what fits best overall, though!

[TL] Joyful/Chapter 3

Location: In the morning, two days later. En route to school

Shinobu: Fufu. The time that Hiiro-kun and I leave for school is the same. What a nice coincidence ♪

Hiiro: Umu. Not to say that this is unimportant…but I will take this opportunity regardless.

There is something I want to ask you, Shinobu-kun, so may I?

Shinobu: What is it? I will answer whatever it is you want to ask ♪

Hiiro: Then… what does the “Easter” part of “Easter Fes” mean?

Shinobu: …

Uhh, ummm? Hiiro-kun, have you perhaps been listening to us talk about Easter without knowing what it is?

Hiiro: I have looked through the documents Anzu-san gave us, and I understand that it is some sort of festival related to spring.

But, it is because it’s the first time I have heard such a word, and the first time I have become aware of such a concept. I want to know about it in more detail, for when I participate in Easter Fes.

Shinobu: Come to think of it, when I was speaking with Anzu-dono in the cafeteria, I heard them say some words I was unfamiliar with.

However, if someone were to try asking me, I also do not think I could explain what Easter is very well…

I know what the word Easter means, but I do not know why it is called Easter…

I am also unaware of why imagery such as rabbits and eggs are associated with it.

Hiiro: Do you think there’s some books about it in the library? Or is it a better idea to speak with someone who is more knowledgeable on the topic?

Shinobu: Someone more knowledgeable…. Fumu. Kagehira-senpai participated in Easter Fes last time, so should we ask him?

I shall contact him now, and ask if he is available after school. I’ll do it now... Click click ♪

Location: Handicrafts Clubroom

Hiiro: —And that’s why we would like you to teach us about Easter, Kagehira-senpai.

Mika: Ahaha, ‘’m not really that knowledgeable ‘bout it either. I may of participated, but I didn’t learn much.

But that’s why I’m happy you two asked me. I got a lil' impatient and borrowed a book about it~ ♪

Hiiro: Ah, so there was already a selection of books in the library. On behalf of both of us, thank you Kagehira-senpai.

Mika: You’re welcome ♪ Now I’m thinkin’ of it, will Hinata-kun be joinin’ us?

Shinobu: Unfortunately, Hinata-kun is working until the afternoon… He said to “tell him everything we talked about too!”

It seems that today’s lesson was a last minute thing.

Mika: I hope he can make it in time for the next lesson. Until then, we can learn as much as we can about Easter.

Hiiro: Umu. As I have studied in depth the common practices of the city, my behaviour will change in accordance to the knowledge I will learn.

Shinobu: If possible, it will be good if the knowledge we learn can be applied to the shuffle unit! ♪

Mika: Well then, the first thing that I want t’take a look at is this book…

It says here that Easter means “celebrating the return of life”. What does that mean一[1]

Hiiro: Easter is celebrated because it is the day when Christ was resurrected.

It’s called “Easter” because it celebrates the arrival of spring…

In the description, it says that the terms represent ideas of life and rebirth, as well as prosperity of one’s descendants.

It was discovered that prayers done at this festival are common in nature, even in different cultures and countries.

Shinobu: Now that I also know the reason behind why rabbits and eggs are used as motifs, I feel a sense of relief ♪

Mika: I see~. Now I know it’s a symbol, I can remember there being lots of Easter eggs displayed over the stage at Easter Night.

Talkin’ of Easter eggs, I had a part-time job paintin’ egg-shaped capsules ‘n sellin’ egg chocolates at the event.

I used masking tape t’paint the capsules all colourful. That job was really fun…

Even if I got the chance, I don’t think I could get a part-time job this time ‘round…

If there’s something like a paintin’ segment in the Easter Fes, I’d like to do it again.

Shinobu: If that were to happen, I most certainly would also participate!

A moment ago, I saw a picture of a frog drawn onto an Easter egg. I feel at ease…♪

Hiiro: Looking back at the contents of the documents, it seems that various events are planned during it.

Surely we’ll be able to plan for there to be some ceramics painting? It’ll definitely be fun if everyone can join in.

Mika: Yup yup. Everyone can do Easter egg painting. I hope that’s true…

Shinobu: By the way Kagehira-senpai, what kind of painting did you do last time?

Mika: Errr. I stuck skull tape and…

Ahh!

Hiiro: ? Is something wrong?

Mika: I just saw the time - I need to get back to the dorms and change my clothes, otherwise I’ll be late for lesson…!

Shinobu: Oh! That’s true. You should get going…!

Hiiro: Sorry. I said I wanted to learn about Easter, but instead I have made us rush around.

Shinobu: Nono, it was a good opportunity for us to learn an ample amount about Easter ♪

Mika: Now that we’ve talked about it, I also feel even more ready for it ♪

Shinobu: Last time, I was simply imitating Hibiki-dono, but this time I’m going to try my absolute hardest to keep up. I’ll do my best today!

Hiiro: I also feel the same way about the Easter Fes. I wonder what Wataru-senpai is going to teach us today?

they normally say easter in katakana, but in the quotation marks, kanji is used hence why mikas like huh what that mean. the kanji is 復活祭 roughly meaning 復 - to restore, 活 - life, 祭 - celebration/rituals

What if complicated freak is about the same freak as little freak? Aka harry herself?

I would write about it but I’m not even a part of the 🏳️‍🌈community so I think that would be a bad idea. Have you thought about it in does terms?

yes, I think there could be some link to be made! The use of 'Freak' is definitely very specific because that's not a term you casually throw around to describe people unless you're mean. It's technically derogatory, but for some there is a real thrill and comfort in using those kind of terms to describe their own queerness. And I feel like this is what Complicated Freak and Little Freak do in different contexts.

She got wrapped up in somebody else

I’m wrapped up stuck in love with myself

I think the first lines kind of sum up the whole song, so having sex while being completely high on that gender euphoria. The speaker is into their partner but equally feeling themselves in that moment: She's fully out and wildin'. The ''you'' could be both the partner and She. For example the ''pulling my hair'' line could be kinky AND a metaphore of pulling your own hair out cuz it's all so... ~complicated

But I miss her skin on me now/But I miss how she kissed everywhere/I still crave it

That is reminding me of ''Maybe we'll do this again'' line in Little Freak! It's too hard to just be yourself at times only, in specific contexts. You want that all the time. Missing her skin on me>Feeling good in my skin. the skin part would sound a bit like a buffalo bill moment but bill is terrible horrible terf wank so I'd prefer to think of Leatherface putting make up on his skin masks. I feel very much for the big dude isolated in the deep countryside, who has been raised to fill in the 'nuclear wife' role by his conservative patriarcal family, and so the only way he found to express his femininity is through his masks: he is otherwise silenced and punished when failing his householding duties, like all women were. ITS SO WEIRD TO SAY IN REGARDS TO HARRY SORRY BUT we're in a ~Freak theme and it's ~Complicated right ummm unhinged gender free of constraints and expectations and stuff

Turned up too late one too many times/Bad choice of words in my alibi

Similar to I disrespected you/You'd make fun of me for sure. Reflecting on all that time you spent not being you, lying to yourself and others, making excuses, and how damaging it can be.

I've seen some posts comparing Complicated Freak to Only Angel as well! Both written in the same period and using crudeness and even violence in relation to femininity. In comparison, Little Freak is like a soothing caress <3 which is really heartwarming, we love ambivalence

[depressedhatakekakashi]

Alright alright, I'm not good with requesting but I want to so something with team minato something something gift Kakashi some supplies? Kunai, healing package? And like very cute and nooot related to the gifts they also gif him before kannabi bridge. Just some cute kids

Disclaimer: so ummm… i may have gone with an Au where everyone lives and KakaObi is a thing. That’s my bad, i’m sorry. The idea hit me and worked with my brain easier for some reason

I’m sorry

Please enjoy

I Didn’t Forget

Words: 1430

Pairing: KakaObi

For: @wind-becomes-lightning

@kakashiweek

Everyone was staring at Obito, waiting patiently to see what it was he had gotten for Kakashi.

What gift he could have possibly chosen for his boyfriend’s birthday that would outshine all of the other presents he had already received

There was just one problem.

Obito had forgotten it was his Boyfriend’s birthday.

“Well?” Kakashi held out a hand towards him. “Where’s my present?”

For a moment Obito felt like he had been hurled back into the past straight to his Chunin days. With all of his teammates standing around him waiting for something that was never going to come.

“Is it not enough that I’m here with you?” He turned his head away from Kakashi, his bottom lip jutting out. He even made sure to add a little quiver to his lip in an aim for maximum sympathy. “Really, Kakashi. You expect so much from me all the time.”

“It’s my birthday…”

“I think you’re spoiled,” he shot back. “Minato-Sensei and Rin are always getting you too much. Someone has to make sure it doesn’t all go to your head.”

Not that it was possible to save Kakashi from an inflated Ego. That ship had sailed when they were all kids and Konoha decided to promote him to Jonin at the age of six.

Sure, his ego had tampered out a little with age. These days he was a lot more down to earth and understood his limitations a bit better thanks to a few missions gone horribly wrong, but it was still there.

Obito knew that better than anyone. He was one of a select few who got to hear Kakashi when that cool-headed, relaxed mask fell off and he allowed his opinions to flow freely.

Hatake Kakashi still had a swollen ego, and it was Obito’s job to keep it in check.

“Actually,” Rin spoke up, a sweet smile on her face when Obito glared her way. “As his boyfriend, I’m pretty sure your job is to spoil him.”

“Do I look like Maito?” As soon as the question left his mouth he regretted it. The last thing he needed at this moment was a lecture about how much better a boyfriend Maito was. 

“Well-“

“Don’t,” he held up a hand to stop Rin from spiralling into a long list of reasons why her boyfriend was ‘the best boyfriend in the world’. A list he had listened to far too many times for his liking. “He gets to spend time with me. His adoring, amazing boyfriend. What else could he ask for?”

“You to pay for lunch just once,” Kakashi grumbled under his breath as his hand fell to his side. “Or a stuffy.”

“A stuffy would be nice,” Minato-Sensei pipped up. “Everyone enjoys stuffies.” 

Obito couldn’t help but cringe at the idea. Kakashi already had a full collection of Hound stuffies that Rin and Gai had bought him over the years. There was no other stuffy in the world that his boyfriend would like half as much as those so even trying to get him something new was setting himself up for failure.

“You could have made a card,” Kakashi suggested. “Maybe you could have even made it yourself. Of course,” holding up the little card that Naruto had made for him, he stared at Obito with a mischievous look in his eyes. “It probably wouldn’t be as good as Naruto’s.”

First, he was being compared to Maito, and now he was being compared to their Sensei’s six-year-old. Some days Obito wondered why he continued to date Kakashi when the man made it his life goal to insult him at every opportunity.

“Alright you two,” Rin stepped between them before Obito could get into Kakashi’s face. “Seriously, how do you two have a functioning relationship?”

“Who said it was functioning?” Kakashi asked. 

Obito couldn’t help but glare at his boyfriend at that moment. “Your confidence in our relationship gives me so much hope for our future.”

“A future full of forgotten birthdays?”

“I didn’t forget!” 

“You forgot.” stepping into Obito’s space, Kakashi draped an arm around his shoulder. “But it’s alright.”

Such quick forgiveness threw Obito for a loop. Usually, Kakashi would hold his forgetfulness over his head for a month, if not a year. There would be constant reminders of his inability to remember his boyfriend's birthday scattered throughout the days.

Little jabs which would result in Obito trying to apologize by giving Kakashi extra cuddles or allowing him to choose what they were going to have for dinner. Whatever it was Kakashi wanted in return for dropping the topic of forgotten birthdays for one more day.

“So you’re not mad I didn’t get you a present?”

“Of course not,” Kakashi pressed a kiss against his cheek. A kiss which Obito promptly tried to lean away from because of the scratching, rough feeling of the mask that still sat over his boyfriend’s face. “You’re paying for dinner, after all.”

Obito’s shoulders tensed. “Dinner?”

“Mmmhmmm.”

“How many people?” He just barely resisted the urge to dig into his pocket and check how much money he had tucked away in his wallet. Whatever answer he found, he was certain it wasn’t going to be enough.

“Well, you and me-“

“And…”

“Rin, which means Gai will be coming. You can’t have one of them at dinner without the other.”

“I think they can handle one dinner apart,” Obito argued, already feeling the ache of an empty wallet. “Maito doesn’t always need to be with her.”

“Oh, so Kakashi can have his boyfriend, but I can't have mine?” Not one to pass up an opportunity to join Kakashi in bugging Obito, Rin jumped into the conversation without restraint. “Besides, you can’t tell him Gai’s not allowed there. You would deny your own boyfriend, the love of your life, the right to have his best friend at his birthday dinner?”

“Love of my life is some pretty strong words.” Obito argued though he knew Rin was speaking only the truth. Kakashi was the person his heart had decided on, no matter how much he tried to deny it growing up.

For better or worse it was him and Kakashi.

Even if that meant he had to spend more time around Maito than could ever be considered good for his health. 

“Well, Rin and Gai are both coming to dinner,” Kakashi declared. “As are Minato-Sensei, Kushina-san and Naruto.”

Seven people. 

Usually, Obito would be happy to have a big crowd to chat with, but today all he felt was the low ache of a wallet that was preparing itself to be gutted. Whatever money he had left after his last splurge wasn’t going to last very long.

“Hey,” turning his head, Obito narrowed his eyes when he was greeted with a friendly smile. After everything he had just been put through, that was the last thing he wanted to see. “I love you.”

And with just those three words all of his annoyance melted away.

“You’re the worst…” he grumbled under his breath, ignoring the fact that he was slowly leaning into Kakashi’s side.

“Mmm, but I’m yours.”

His.

That was right.

No matter how horrible Kakashi could be, he was his boyfriend. His lover.

His everything.

And somehow, that made it worth suffering through all of the teasings because at the end of the day he’d get to crawl into bed beside Kakashi.

Was there anything in the world better than cuddles from the love of his life?

Not in his experience. Even if those cuddles did come with eight rowdy, smelly bloodhounds. 

“Maybe he’ll take you to that spa date after all,” Rin giggled, waving the passes that she and Maito had gotten Kakashi for his birthday. “Oh, and don’t forget-”

“A challenge, yes I know,” Kakashi rested his head against Obito’s shoulder. “How could I ever forget? Gai will remind me every second he gets until we do it.”

Spa passes for two, a birthday challenge with his best friend, a homemade card from Naruto, and a brand new picture of Team Minato all together just like the one from when they were all kids. 

Obito was right. 

Kakashi was spoiled.

“You’re not much better,” Rin teased, bumping her elbow against his side with a bright smile plastered on her face. “If you think we spoil him you’re blind.”

“You do spoil him,” he huffed, turning his head so that his nose was buried in Kakashi’s hair. Long silver strands tickled his skin. “But…so do I.”

A result of being head over heels in love with the man.

Childe being Very Young and dealing with the Whole Job of being the 11th Fatui Harbinger

Just imagine a college student being one of the most powerful people in the world, both in battle-prowess and politically

Childe is recruited before the baby fat leaves his cheeks and he takes down an entire battalion. Everyone is slightly afraid and in awe but Childe is frustrated with himself, which isolates him even further

Childe spending a lot of his formative years without any friends and assuming that being lonely and having a lot of responsibility is something that everyone has to deal with

Childe’s way of making friends is to attack first, ask questions later. I wonder why he has no friends.

Childe being tasked with diplomatic relations before he even makes his first friend

You, a Very Important Politician, arrive at a meeting with a man whose word could destroy your life and career. He shows up with a band t-shirt, a kid’s carnival mask, and ramen. He calls you dude. This is Childe. You hate him immediately but he has enough political power to squish you like a bug so you have to be polite. 

Childe is literally Elle Woods getting into Harvard and being like “what, like it’s hard?” except he genuinely didn’t realize at first because he thought it was normal to be overworked and exhausted and constantly on the brink of a mental breakdown

You are a new recruit in the Fatui! You worked really hard to get here and one of your trainers is one of THE Harbingers and... oh, kid, are you lost? Is there a school tour today or--OH WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE MY BOSS HELLO SIR SORRY SIR

Childe hating himself for being a bad big brother because he can’t be there most of the time for his little siblings because he has so much work--

A vacation? You mean like... a training day? Where he gets to fight all day? No? A day off? Uh. Never heard of that.

Signora introducing Childe to the Northland Bank team and being like “this is Tartaglia, he’s your boss despite being the youngest one in the room. He’s very smart but he never graduated from high school. Best of luck” and Vlad’s like ummm. Ma’am this is a baby.

Childe feeling anxious when he has an afternoon without meetings and everyone has to be like no, that’s... that’s normal...

A Well Loved Copy (PART 1: Magical Places) 

Kakashi x Reader

Story Summary: Your cozy life as a bookseller is disturbed when a box of the worst books you could ever imagine arrives at your store, and with them a certain silver haired ninja to whom you are definitely not attracted.  

Relationship: Kakashi x Reader

Warnings: None

A/N: I wrote this first part a few days ago, but it still had a few things missing and I finally finished it today. I’m thinking it’s going to be at least 3 parts long (depending on how much my brain allows me to write) and that it’s going to be mostly fluff and romance, but I also want to add some angst. Hopefully you’ll all like it <3 Be kind and enjoy.

Magical Places

“God who even reads this crap” you tell yourself as you arrange the 20th copy of the latest Icha Icha Special Holiday Edition on the hot new arrivals shelf in the bookstore. “It’s unbelievable how they keep making new editions of the same trash and people actually buy them”

Last night, your boss had explicitly told you that he wanted the books in the most visible part of the store, because they were always a massive hit, unlike the beautiful short story books you had been forced to stash in a less noticeable shelf almost at the back of the store.

You spent hours admiring the graceful prose and the magical places they took you to, wishing your own writing was half as good. You knew most of those books by heart, and every time one of your favorite authors published one, you read it so many times until you could almost recite it word by word. That’s why your personal collection of books was small, but very well loved. Whenever you got the chance, you recommended them to customers, though almost none listened to you. However, those who did, always came back to thank you for it.

“It’s better to know one book intimately, than a thousand superficially” your mother told you when you were little, and to this day, the phrase stuck with you.

When your boss, the shop owner, told you to remove your favorite stories, the ones you knew intimately, from the best shelves to make space for what was basically porn disguised as a romantic thriller, it felt personal.

“I’m sorry, I know they’re good, but we need to give up the space for the best selling authors” your boss had told you yesterday night when he saw your frown as you removed them from sight. You ignored him for the rest of the time you were there while going through the new inventory together, and left the new arrivals unopened

“I’ll arrange them in the morning. If you don’t need anything else I’m leaving” you slipped your very worn book in your pocket, grabbed your keys and left.

That’s why people don’t read real literature, because it keeps getting hidden from sight and replaced with trash, you sigh.

Now you look towards the remaining boxes, the publisher sent way too many for your judgement, and decide to put them away in storage until more copies are needed, so you can still keep a few other not so crappy books on the star shelf.

When you’re returning from the storage room, you hear the door chime, signaling that a new customer is here. You check the time, barely 8:00am.

God, who’s here this early?

“IT’S HERE!” A silver haired man acting like a 6 year old in a candy store rushes in, and grabs 3, no, 4 copies of Icha Icha Special Holiday Edition without noticing he’s messing up your perfectly arranged shelf. “I literally waited a month for it! I need to read it now, it’s gonna be so good”

Is he talking to himself? Or to me?

The guy is bubbling with excitement, running his long fingers across the cover of the book on top. You don’t know why, but seeing the motion sends shivers down your very tired spine. You shrug, and start the computer to enter the day log into the system.

He walks to the counter, feeling giddy with the books and you get tense at the realization of who the guy you’ve been gaping at is.

The signature mask, the covered left eye and the nonchalant but confident walk give it all away.

He’s kinda hot in person, but his awful taste in books ruins it, you think.

“Would you like me to wrap those for you?” you manage to ask, pointing to the four copies he dropped on the counter. “Or would you rather do it yourself at home?” If I were his friend I’d kill him if he gave me that as a gift.

“Huh?”

“We offer a gift wrapping service.”

“Oh no, thank you, they’re not gifts. All four of them are mine”

“All four?” You ask, confused.

“Yeah, one’s my mission copy, another is my house copy, then the back up one, and the last goes on my shelves untouched”

“You must really like the series.” You say sarcastically, emphasizing on the word really.

“They are really good, contrary to popular belief. I know a lot of people judge them, but I swear if they actually read the series, they’d know it’s not just porn” he says with a chuckle, clearly aware you’re judging him.

“Ummm I don’t know” you say scratching the back of your head “I’d rather stick to real literature”

“Wait, you’ve never read them?”

“Nope”

“Not even one?”

“No no, wouldn’t want to waste my time”

“No wonder you’re staring at me like that” he says under his breath, and you pretend not to hear him. “What do you read, then? If you’re only into real literature”

You nod towards the last shelves in the room and then gesture to your own battered copy of The Cursed Beauties and Other Stories.

“They made me hide them away so I could make space for your special edition.”

“I’m sorry about that, maybe they can share a shelf next time.” Did he just smirk? Is he hitting on me? No, it must be me reading too much into things. “I’m Kakashi, anyway”

“I know, you’re kinda notorious amongst us booksellers, as the guy who buys too many copies of Icha Icha”

“Really?”

“No”

“Oh”

“You’re an important ninja okay?” He’s barely aware of it apparently “I have a few modern leaf history books here that mention you. And I think there might be a biography on you too, you’re definitely in the Yondaime’s. I had to read it for school, though I’m not very sure of how much truth is in it. Non ninja writers tend to exaggerate things huh? Not because I’m a ninja myself, becau-well, ummm I’m not, but I have read a lot, on ninjas I mean.” You get flustered when you catch yourself speaking a lot. He makes you nervous, alright? Even though he has bad taste in books and is a bit of an asshole, you can’t help but feel attracted overwhelmed by him.

You get an embarrassed smile from him too.

“I can’t imagine what in my life would be interesting enough to write about” he says, gently tapping his fingers to his temple “but I’ll tell you something, Icha Icha is interesting, way more fun to read than my life. I’d leave one of these copies here for you, but this isn’t the first book in the series, so you really wouldn’t understand it. But you should give the first one a shot, if you don’t like it, you’re allowed to hate me forever and judge my poor taste in books.” He heads for the door and makes his departure, but not before turning around and flashing you a big smile that you swore his whole face was glowing beneath all those coverings.

Something about him lingers with you for the rest of the day, as if he’d never really left the store.

The next morning when you come in, you notice there’s something inside the mailbox which catches your attention, only for the simple fact that you never get mailed anything small enough to fit in the mailbox. It’s always boxes upon boxes of books and gadgets related to literature.

You open it and take out a well worn copy that has definitely seen better days, of Icha Icha Paradise. There’s a small post it note stuck on the back cover scribbled with messy handwriting

Give it a shot, I promise you’ll like it. 

-K

P.S. Take care of it, it’s my favorite copy. Hopefully by entrusting you with it, you’ll decide to entrust me later with your own book ;)

Despite all your judgements and aversions to the series and the author, you make yourself a strong cup of coffee, sit back on your familiar spot, and open the book to the first page.

[zanysmurf]

i'll do it here because my last answer was long but i'll tag it the same:

4. What's your favorite cartoon episode?

i love, love, love the masked pie smurfer. not only is it my favorite jokey story, it has the first instance of brainy playing detective! and clumsy too!!!! what more could i ask for... 10/10

greedy is also used in a silly way i enjoy. this is the one episode where i think the smurfs being (arguably) too mean to each other works, because the smurfs already have their moments of rudeness and ridicule. it makes sense there's mean or worse thoughts they all keep bottled up in favor of being passive aggressive and such. excellent opportunity to just let them be little jerks to each other knowing they're anonymous / can get away with it. the lesson is there but god is the episode so funny. it's memorable. to me. the last time i watched it, i still remembered the majority of the lines and gags. danny goldman always knocked it out of the park, i love clumsy, the usual.

the beginning with brainy's thoughts about clumsy always felt off to me (particularly the "good for nothing" part) but idk. brainy is a mean character so i can't complain too much actually. again, whether the smurfs' thoughts about each other are too mean or not doesn't matter much for this one. papa not being able to help himself and taking the costume / laughing from the sidelines was also good. it's charming when he has fun and is a little jerk himself. incredibly ironic that he tried to teach the others not to be passive aggressive and say directly when something bothers them 😌

it's the first instance we see of jokey putting on a costume that's not play-related (speaking of which— did he make it himself? i love overthinking. tailor would know who the masked pie smurfer is if he made the outfit for him. i could ask many questions in general) and acting before don smurfo. i like jokey's few other talents and it's evident how much fun he was having, regardless of him outright saying it.

at one point, i wanted to write a fanfic series(?) where brainy and clumsy solved mysteries around the village as the sbi, but it's just something i only planned a little bit of and ditched.

as for ntob/smurfs 2021, i have no idea yet! uhh i like the jokey episodes i've seen. really enjoyed that order of merit scene where he's just going ummm i didn't hear anything 🤔🤔🤨😁 did any smurf hear papa smurf say it 🤨🤔😁 etc. i also enjoy how it's animated/how he emotes in that scene. he sucks

OMG I FORGOT TO ANSWER #4. HANG ON

[leafcabbage]

for those of you who don’t know, @pigeonhome is my best friend/roommate who follows this blog but who i refuse to let read ycssgwtlfs. yesterday he decided to tell me what he thinks my fic is about from what he’s seen on here and i wrote a live-transcript of it. i hope you enjoy. 

i think that this is what the fic is: ranboo is sad because dream is mean to him and also his face is fucked up and so he wears the mask and is also really sad and also has crippling anxiety. im assuming that they [bench trio] become friends because of their trauma? because they're like oh god all our relatives are dead we relate to each other. 

ranboo's #1 crippling fear is office max'ses and so he gets forced to go to one because of work and that's why he had a panic attack at an office max. and then quackity comes and picks him up in his cool car that has fire spray painted onto it and it has no bumper it fell off and is in the trunk. im making lore happen. 

and then i dont know what happens next, um, quackity returns ranboo to dream with the office max stuff. because i assume thats who instigated the office max stuff because he's evil and deserves to die, clearly, because how dare he send ranboo to an office max knowing this is his biggest fear- wait this is a literal transcript? like a word for word one? *laughing* and then dream takes the office max stuff and is like "fuck you ranboo" and then pushes him to the ground.

 and then tommy is like "what the fuck" y'know like how he says, and then they all- mmm- ummm- and then dream cries because he has a really bad home life and he trauma dumps about his dad being a capitalist. and his mom naming him dream, and how that was really fucking shitty of her to do. and then ranboo is like "oh shit i also have a shitty home life”, and then they spider man point at each other and now they're friends. and then its the quadroupo [bench trio + dream] now- quatuplet? i dunno. but then its like sixteen chapters, that cant be the end yeah because its really long.

dont they also cuddle a lot because you're deprived of human contact? and i know this because on your tumblr you always post diagrams, like poorly drawn

cabbage: no i dont! i dont post diagrams!

i've seen them. i have. *finds a sketch dump picture*

cabbage: THATS NOT A DIAGRAM you're being mean

also techno carries the bags all the time ?? and ranboo's hands are very shaky. im trying to remember other words from your word web. and also really important they're in florida and it's the worst because the state sucks. and isnt the college name a pun or something? i cant remember the name of the college. and everyone in the background has dick names.

late addition: i do like to think that ranboo is agoraphobic but only to office max'ses
