#aaaaaaaa i love them deeply

[musebluebird]

It spoke well of him that Irvin had offered to move anyway and hadn't just assumed she was going to be the one to move to the other side of the world. "Well, I have a couple of suitcases that I packed for the time I was going to be here, so whenever you want really" Addison preferred to cut it short, there was no point in prolonging something that was going to happen sooner or later anyway. She was going to have to move and there was no way to change that. Sure, she preferred to stay in France as long as she could but if she did she would probably get a visit from her father, something Addison preferred to skip if she could help it. "The moving company can pack up the rest or I can fly in later and bring the rest of my stuff." She shrugged before uncrossing her arms and resting her hands on the desk on either side of her body. "Big stuff can stay in the apartment there." Furniture and anything large could stay in London. Addison hoped to visit the city again eventually so it would be comforting to be able to stay in a familiar place there.

The idea of ​​bringing children into the dysfunctional mess that was their families and, above all, their marriage, made her hair stand on end. They were going to have to go a long way before she was even sure that they were both going to be together. to be able to handle the children in their marriage "I don't really know because we've been married for five years and I've never seen the contract, I just know minor details." Addison shrugged. She knew roughly what was expected of her. Kids, pension, no divorce, events, no scandal, perfect trophy wife.

"I also assume we will have to go to events and sponsor some charities as well" She pointed out "And knowing our parents I think your dad will want to draw attention to us in particular to start creating a social profile for us as a couple" Honestly it was what her father would do, Addison was not particularly excited about playing houses with Irvin and having to go out but especially with Irvin's siblings getting married early too and leaving the nest to start their own marriages. Yes, she received the invites earlier that month "If they are now wanting us to make this marriage work after five years and if I have to guess, it's not gonna be so we can hide ourselves at home and it has to do with your siblings weddings, congrats by the way, got the invite the other day" Her head was already hurting from thinking about everything they were going to have to do to fulfill all the absurd requests that their parents were probably going to have, "If you think about it, otherwise they wouldn't even take the trouble, no matter how many heirs they wanted"

Irvin listened to her initial response, and partly, was grateful for the lack of surprise. He had prepared for any reaction, of course, but he had to admit it was easier to have the conversation without a big reaction or refusal right off the bat. “True,” he shrugged in response. “Honestly, this arrangement has been more generous than they usually allow. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing.” He raised an eyebrow as she thought out loud, decisions already formulating. Okay sure, while he didn’t expect a rash reaction, he also found it odd how calmly she went into solution mode. It was also then that he understood a possible reason his dad picked a Carter for him. “Fair enough. I honestly had not thought about that when I offered the option." But, that was always his issue, wasn't it? Not thinking before speaking. It's something he had to work on, especially as he continued working towards the eventual passing of the torch. "London?" He offered a smile, nodding slowly. "Didn't know you were out there. I was just there a couple months ago." That was definitely something normal to say to your wife of five years.

The room went quiet, and it didn't take a genius to know. Irvin could guess that her mind was going towards that clause. The one that loomed over each couple - the one that had dictated he'd get everything and his siblings would need to find their own families to reap benefit from. It was fucked up. They both knew it. But, Irvin was far too fatigued to fight against it. It's the reason he didn't fight the marriage five years ago. "I know," he muttered under his breath. The thought of bringing children into the world to have the same fate they did was horrendous. He couldn't bring himself to the idea, but what choice did they have? "We don't have much of a choice. The time for rebelling is past us. We didn't say anything then, what difference does it make now? Five years into our marriage? I don't like the idea, and trust me, I'll delay it as long as I can. But, it'll catch up to us eventually." He crossed his arms over his chest, sounding like his father was always an unnerving feeling. "There's a lot to discuss, starting with the move. When's the earliest you can come out to the U.S.?"

[very-uncorrect]

I've went from being a casual charpim enjoyer to being fucking obsessed with the ship in like a day oh my god

[foxbinnstuff]

Yumehara and Saiki are so bff’s to me that I forget thats not canon 😵‍💫 in my head they’re just platonically perfect for each other I need to find people who get the vission

[plaguedocboi]

Tell us about Moby Dick!!

AAAAAAAA

Alright I apologize in advance this is long and mostly going to be about Ahab because he is the one who plagues my mind so

I went into this fully expecting to dislike Ahab because the cultural perception of him is this angry raving lunatic who just out to serve himself but he’s not! He’s a good captain and a good person! His crew thinks he’s the coolest guy ever! They all love him! And guess what so do I!!!

He wants revenge NOT just because of the leg thing. The whale bit his leg off (also kind of a simplified version of it, he was more chewed alive) but he wasn’t even really mad about it initially. His crew later tied him to his hammock in a straitjacket and left him there because he was in pain and traumatized and acting like it. After getting back home he was impaled on his own prosthetic and then immediately sent back out to a rigorous, deadly job without a chance to heal. The whale represents everything bad that’s happened to him that he doesn’t have control over and he desperately wants that control back. He can’t fight the system or the men who hurt him or the concept of ableism but he can fight that fucking whale. He is a deeply traumatized person who never got the help he needed so he decided to take matters into his own hands. He believes the whale is the source of evil in the world and by killing it he can forever free humanity from the tyranny of a cruel and uncaring god.

He puts up a facade of power and strength because the last time he showed weakness he was treated like an animal. The only person he allows even a little control is Starbuck because that’s the one person he trusts (gay). He is a fundamentally hurt, lonely man who could have gotten better and this tragedy could have been avoided had he been given the help he needed. He has nightmares and awakes in panics, he paces the deck all day and night, and he is scared of losing his power. He is angry at the universe and god and mankind. He is not crazy. He is trying to save himself and others but dooms them all in the process.

Also his death haunts me. Everyone had lead me to believe that the whale eats him but it doesn’t! He gets tangled in the harpoon line and the whale drags him to the bottom of the ocean. I think anyone who Knows Me understands why that fucked me up a bit. The whale kills everyone else as well aside from Ishmael, by the way. It’s really fucking sad.

Anyway there’s my case for why Ahab is great and why I love him and think about him so much. This is just ONE reason I like Moby-Dick btw but I’m not writing a book report via tumblr.

[talisman975]

(Camila and Beardo Philip are taking a stroll together in the park, hand in hand, while basking in the glory of the great weather. During their stroll, they come across a park bench and take a seat.)

Camila: (She sends Philip a smile but notices from the look on his face that his mind seems to be on other things as she decides to slide a bit closer to him.) Don't you just love the warm weather, Philip? Oh, I can't wait for summer to arrive! Picnics, spending more time outdoors, planning fun car trips.

Philip: (Camila's voice snaps him out of his thoughts as he looks at her.) Hm? (He gives her a dejected smile.) Oh, yes, I do. (He then looks away before breathing out a sigh.) Camila, my love?

Camila: (Concerned) Yes?

Philip: (He looks back at Camila) I have a question.

Camila: Yes? What is it, mi amor?

Philip: If you... knew something bad about me, would you still love me?

Camila: (The question surprises her.) Of course.

Philip: (Greatly worried) I could tell you anything, right? And no matter how horrible it was, you'd still love me, right?

Camila: (Moves toward him) Mi amor, I promise. No matter what. What's troubling you so much to ask this question?

Philip: (Weakly) I... (Sniffing, he wipes away the tears that are starting to form in his eyes with his sleeve.) I can't say. I don't think I'm ready to yet. My apologies.

Camila: I see... (Her expression softens, and a sympathetic smile pulls on her lips as she takes Philip's hand.) Well, when you're ready to share, (she gently squeezes his hand) I'm here, and I'll make sure to give you my fullest attention when I listen. Promise.

Philip: (A soft smile slowly forms on his lips.) Thank you, my love.

(Leaning forward, the two share a kiss.)

(enchantedchocolatebars. You get a cookie if you know the thing that's brothering Beardo Philip. 🍪)

@enchantedchocolatebars AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

CONSENT AND PATIENCE IS KEY

The couple are so cute together and they respect each other and just AAAAAAAA I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Even if Camila reacts negatively to Philip killing Caleb, the fact that she still stayed with him despite it shows she is willing to try and understand him since this is something he deeply regrets now and wants to change.

Peak couple goals!

[quodekash]

I rewatched episode 7 like 6 or 7 times this week im so ready for episode 8 and for all the fluff and then for the angst to come crashing in and for my dreams to be crushed

lets do this

SAILOM'S EXPRESSION I CANT WITH HIM

and it's a perfectly reasonable expression, saifah's very very sus

GOOD JOB KANGGGGGG

IM SO PROUD OF YOU MY BOY THATS AMAZING

HES SO HAPPY LOOK AT HOW HAPPY MY BOY IS

THE WORDS OF AFFIRMATION LOVE LANGUAGE BOY

AAAAAA

the SAME bed, mayhaps?????

perth is such an amazing actor

B O Y F I E ???

HIS LITTLE POUTY FACE-

sailom, sorry mate, but he's too powerful. you can't say no to that face

kang I know you're obsessed with him but you need to go to sleep my guy

trust me, you wont do well on your exam if you dont sleep enough

you can't just stare at your boyfriend the whole night

yES???

OOOOO YES THIS IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION

bc there was no affection behind that kiss, it was anger and fury and revenge, anyone could see that, but when I was watching the first three episodes (I didn't start the series until the day after episode 3 came out) id kinda had the sense that there was a part of sailom that felt self-satisfaction at finally having kissed him? but idk im interested to see what he actually says

yes!! thats what I thought!!!!

I LIVE AND BREATHE FOR KANG'S CHEESY-ASS PICKUP LINES

I ALSO LIVE AND BREATHE FOR THE WAY SAILOM CANT CONTROL HIS LAUGHTER AT HOW B A D THOSE CHEESY-ASS PICKUP LINES ARE

ASHDFAHSDFHASDHFADSHFHASDFH

look I knew the spooning was inevitable but that doesnt mean it doesnt have the power to murder me senseless

HE LITERALLY HAS HIS HEAD ON SAILOM'S PILLOW HE'S LIKE CLING WRAP ON A SANDWICH

are kang's legs on top of sailom

BEHIND THE CURTAIN???? THERE'S NO WAY THAT'LL WORK

JUST GO TO THE BATHROOM YOU DOOFUS

no but that would be ADORABLE and I wish that was part of the plot alongside the kangsailom stuff

w h a t

is kang secretly a magician??? is that what the whole plot is ACTUALLY about, kang's secret ambitions to become a magician?

(it definitely isn't but I would absolutely read a fic about that so if anyone wants to volunteer please send it to me somehow)

OMG

THEYRE ALL EATING LUNCH TOGETHER????????????

AND GUYNAWA ARE RIGHT ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER???????????

BOV4IERLHFBNDSVOERI I LOVE GROUP DYNAMICS SO THIS MIGHT KILL ME

YEEEEEE

AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

suuuuuuure buddy

you just dont want to admit that you like hanging around them

a DATE??? a DATE you say??????

are they aware of how flirtatious they're being? I would hope that they're aware of how flirtatious they're being

close, auto, very close. they're actually deeply in love with each other but they're both too afraid to admit it so they express it through pretend hatred

but they did get drunk together so I dunnoooo

AAAAAAAA

THEYRE SOUNDWINING AGAIN

I REPEAT, THEY ARE SOUNDWINING AGAIN

.........im ten minutes in and already ran out of images for one Tumblr post.

[foreststarflaime]

Let's get funky with it, how about 8, 11, and 21 for my man Sephiroth

o7

8- Do you think this character is underrated or overrated?

Considering how widely known he is at first thought I’d say he’s rated. But also it seems like so many people don’t know the crisis core/first soldier soft pathetic compassionate side of him? So underrated for that everyone should love him like he deserves lol

11- Who do you not like to ship with this character?

Hmm romantically Aerith. I just think of them as lab siblings so it feels weird to me to think of them like that. I just love what their sibling dynamic could have been okayy aaaaaaaa

21- Wild card! Talk about anything to do with this character! Anything at all!

I LOVE HOW MUCH AND HOW DEEPLY HE LOVES DESPITE HIS CIRCUMSTANCES RAGHHHHHDHDDHDHHRHD HOPE AND GOODNESS IN UNLIKELY PLACES MY BELOVEDDD AHHSHHEGEGRH this is why AGS is so deeply important to me goddd he’s so codependent on them and he loves them so purey and genuinely aghhh the tragedy of the way it went with them KILLS MEEEEE

[hoje--aqui]

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨

MY MOMENT

I really loved it. I love music and I love talking about music.

But as a deeply eclectic person, it's humanly impossible to choose 5 songs that I like, and I don't have 5 favourites either. So I'm going to take the opportunity to share with you 5 current Brazilian songs by incredible and current alive artists, just true poems that I believe with all my heart that everyone deserves to hear and tif you decide to translate them, you won't be disappointed.

Not because I only listen to Brazilian music, but because I'm very proud of Brazilian artists and believe that they deserve to be recognised all over the world.

However, if you decide to listen to one of them, feel free to visit the rest of they discography

1 . CAJU | by Liniker

Liniker is perfect! She's a trans woman, black and has been awarded the title of Immortal by the Brazilian Academy of Letters, which is an indescribable honour for an artist, even more so in life. My favourite album by her is Indigo Borboleta Anil, but Caju is her latest and a close second.

2 . O Piano | by Coruja Bc1, Jonathan Ferr and Margareth Menezes

This one in particular is a song from a collective album with various artists, where each of the lyrics has its own musicality and proposals, but I had to mention this one in particular because it brought tears to my eyes more than once. It tells a very beautiful and very sad story (which even deserves to be drawn, so here's a possibility for a future WIP). The album itself, Brasil Futurista, is a great nomination and all the artists involved deserve to be here.

3 . A Ordem Natural das Coisas | Emicida (feat. MC Tha)

I could name so many songs by Emicida. From the most famous to the least played. 'AmarElo' is incredible and I seriously thought about putting it here (that's nomination 3.1). 'A Ordem Natural das Coisa' doesn't even remotely show the complexity of the artist's work, but it has a delicacy that can't be ignored. Think about how much life happens before the sun rises and the poetry he sees in life. It's just too beautiful.

4 . Torto Arado | Rubel, Liniker and Luedji Luna

This is perfect, because it refers to a book of the same name, which won the Jabuti Prize in 2019 (Jabuti is the highest national literary prize awarded by the Brazilian Academy of Letters). It's good to put her here, because I'd like to recommend another wonderful artist who sings pure poetry in every song she sings: Luedji Luna, another woman for the list and a wonderful one without any flaws.

aaaaaaaa there's only one more

okay

5. Ainda Aqui Sonhando | Leo Cavalcanti

I didn't want to put this one here. I was thinking of a more upbeat beat so that the list wouldn't be so quiet, and this was the opposite. But I think it's actually the most on topic and I couldn't decide which one to put last. Spotify's metrics show that I listened to this song for over 52 hours in March this year. This particular lyric touched me on a very personal level, so I don't have any great recommendations for the artist, but anyway, if you want to listen, Leo Cavalcanti.

Thanks for tagging me, and I hope you enjoy the nominations, I know I love making this list.

[eurydicees]

Random ask, who are your top 5 (or top 3) fav characters from Haikyuu? And why do you love them? Also, what are your top 5 fav moments from the series? Thanks if you want to answer....

oh i would LOVE to answer !!! sorry it took so long to get to this!! this was sooooo hard to do. it's not in any particular order because i can't bring myself to do a favorites list like that, as i have so much love in my body to give to the world and also haikyuu specifically. under the cut because this got long!! there ARE manga spoilers in this post!!!

top 5 characters

oikawa

yeah we all say this one coming let's be honest with ourselves here. his growth as a person genuinely makes me crazy. he's so well developed and he's truly such a fascinating character. his arc is beautifully tied in with the MCs and beautifully ended. the way it all ties together and comes together with him at the end...chef's kiss. i have a whole theory about the way it all comes back to oikawa that i have ranted about on discord but i have not posted it...oops.

bokuto

my beloved............he means so much to me. he's so special in my heart. adhd representation fr. he's so much smarter and has so much more depth than people give him credit for--which drives me crazy and i hate it--and he genuinely has such an impact on the narrative that doesn't get appreciated enough. i love him so much.

atsumu

i really don't know how to put this into words but i'm so obsessed with him. he's so important to me. it's smth about the drive and hunger to get better at what you love, the absurd confidence in yourself that is earned rather than a facade, the way he never sees another option but putting all of your heart into what you love and want to do....he means everything to me.

akaashi

i don't know if this one will come as a surprise to people, but he's fr one of my favorite characters. he's so interesting. his mindset is really interesting and i absolutely loved seeing him in the fukurodani v mujinazaka game--it's about how he recovers, how he learns to keep trying as best he can no matter if he's worth it or not or strong enough or not, how deeply he loves his team and how deeply they love him, how he learns to love them rather than try to control them. it's just like. you and those you love being the most important people in the world, the protagonist of your own story and life, but also not being afraid of losing. not being afraid of trying, even if it means you may fail. give me your 120%. i know you can. man. i don't even know. he makes me crazy.

kenma

oh man. his journey and arc makes me...i don't even know. it means so much to me. the promise to make him say something was fun or frustrating--then nekoma's loss, and him saying it was fun anyways. oh my god. crying about it tbh. his development as a character: not particularly remarkable at first sight, but cunning and smart underneath what he looks like, learning to put every piece of himself into a game, learning to have fun while playing even if he loses. man. yeah. kenma.

top 5 moments

tanaka's mediocre me monologue (chp 263)

aaaaaaaa. this idea that you may be mediocre but that doesn't mean you can't risk it all and push yourself further and be the best. it's the whole POINT of haikyuu. don't limit yourself because of your insecurities or because someone tells you that you can't do something. you don't have time to waste by giving up or doubting yourself, because there's so much you can do. this is the moment that solidified tanaka's character for me; i hadn't super loved him before this moment and then i got to this and went. oh. yeah. ok. that's really good actually.

nekoma's loss to karasuno (chp 324)

oh my god. this makes me crazy. i don't even have words for it. don't make me think about it. i'mc rying.

kiryuu's monologue (chp 334)

it's just. the idea of this top 3 ace who doesn't have enough confidence to believe in himself learning to "channel your inner narcissist." AND ITS BOKUTO WHO INSPIRES IT. CRYING. and like just this idea that well, you may not have confidence in yourself, but other people believe in you and you believe in them, so don't let them down by talking down to yourself. and like..."it takes everything i have to keep up with this man, it takes everything i have to play volleyball" and playing anyways...i'm biting things .

oikawa's volleyball is fun moment (chp 373)

oh my god ok. this moment means everything to me. it's about the burn out it's about the passion it's about the rediscovery it's about the fun it's about the love it's actually the point of everything it's what matters it's one of the best chapters in the manga, one of the best pieces of development for oikawa, one of the best pieces of development for hinata, i'm going crazy i'm so insane about this moment . i actually cried reading this for the first time. tears streaming down my face. i have a more in depth post about this moment here!!! but like genuinely as someone who experiences artistic burnout so easily and so often, the reminder that what you love is fun is so important to me. easily one of my favorite moments in any piece of writing ever.

the ending (chp 402)

i'm not gonna include the whole monologue but it makes me fuckign wild. i just. yeah. yeah. yeah. haikyuu. it means so much to me.

honorable mentions for top moments:

"if i'm here, you're invincible" don't touch me i'm crying

NISHINOYA FOOT RECIEVE

yamaguchi's failed serve and the way karasuno recovers & yamaguchi's six points & tsukki and yamaguchi's serve and block panel with the shield and spear. going insane.

"when oikawa is backed into a corner, he'll set to iwaizumi" i'm actually crawling up the walls about this

the last point in the second aoba johsai game. enough said.

tsukki's Moment TM . you all know exactly which one i'm talking about.

kenma calling yamamoto tora

"volleyball is a sport where you're always looking up".......garbled screaming at this

HINATA PERFECT RECEIVE

tsukki's "if i could stuff this now i'm sure everyone would go crazy, but i can't, so...you better be there hinata" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the last inarizaki point. the reflection in kita's eyes. the flashes of we don't need the memories. this angle, this position, it's perfect. the parallels to the last aoba johsai point. speed isn't invincible...those two understood that a little better than everyone else. oh my god. shaking.

can you tell that my favorite game is the inarizaki one. because really i should just say my favorite moment is that entire game.

kenma's "it hurts. it's painful. i don't ever want this to end." & "don't give up on me now hinata"

the kenhina knife fight. oh my god. i feel deranged with the way i talk about this panel.

"someone even better will find you" oh my god kageyama my sweetheart

[remyfire]

If it hasn’t been asked: mulcahy and klinger for the Do you ship it? ❤️

Do I Ship It?

Yes, I Ship It!!

What made you ship it? —AAAAAAAA I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM. Goddamn. Okay. There is something so compelling to me about taking the two characters who pour their entire souls into everything they do, the cups who everyone always drinks from without question, these guys who wonder if they have worth outside of the care they bring to the camp, and just. Letting them find so much warmth in one another. Them finding each other to regroup, refuel. I'm tender.

What are your favorite things about the ship? —First of all, just the absolute ridiculous of what the fuck is all this, then, Mulcahy? Do you have something to share with the class? How much temptation are you wrestling with, man? How do you keep ending up in these situations??? I feel like they'd be so so extremely gentle with each other when the dam finally broke, all low check-ins and trembling hands and lots of pausing in the midst of everything to shiver at the level of intimacy they're receiving. I love how much they support each other and try to point out to others to do the same. They're such natural caretakers that I get mushy just thinking about Klinger covering Mulcahy in his fur coat when he falls asleep right where he sits, or Mulcahy realizing that Klinger gave away the last cup of coffee again without having one of his own and thus going out of his way to push the first cup of the new batch into his grip. I think there's a lot of beautiful unpacking they could do together—Mulcahy with his sexuality and the religious indoctrination that's instilled so much fear inside of him, Klinger with his heartbreak time and time again. Really I just wanna see them fall asleep together forehead to forehead, cuddled up so tightly that they can't so much as breathe without sinking into the other. Reader, I am tender.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? —This is another ship that is mostly vague vibes and aesthetics to me right now rather than deeply established, so I don't have enough in place to yet develop an unpopular opinion haha. I just need one man out of the cloth and the other man to be properly appreciated for once.

[disaster-j]

TOL Rewatch Week One

Just rewatched episode one with beloved mutual @magicaldreamfox1 and AAAAAAAA this show really does so many things to me

I have like a million and one thoughts but two main ones-

I am still so fucking pissed about Khai being made into a genuine asshole for drama reasons in the show instead of just being a dumb slut (affectionate) who thought his feelings for Third were Extra Special Friendship Feelings as if all friends dream about building a life with their bestie and get anxiety over the idea of said bestie not being by their side always.... yeah Khai is so much gayer in the novel y'all don't understand I will never shut up about this particular change. Never ever. HE SHOULD'VE BEEN A SIMP FROM THE GET GO. I get that the drama was important to fill up eps but like they did Khai a grave injustice by erasing so many of the scenes that showed his good side, his scared side, his confused side, his deeply in love with Third side. I will never forgive them for making the show Third biased when the story is supposed to be about Khai's journey.

What would've happened if Two had never intervened. Like I've already written a fic about Third giving up on Khai after overhearing him in That Scene but even then he'd at least tried and like his crush had been acknowledged by people other than him. But what if Two had never found him that night he decided to give up. What if neither Two nor Bone had tried to intervene during that time and Third had pulled away from Khai???? WHY AM I MAKING MYSELF SAD THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE SHIP But like imagine KhaiThird having a friendship break-up imagine Khai losing his fucking mind bc Third was his everything and he just didn't realise it until he'd already lost him imagine them remeeting a few years after they've graduated and Khai desperately trying to get back in Third's good books and Third being his meanest self trying to hide how much he still loves Khai AAAAAAAAA someone write the fic pls i am on my knees begging

Other notable thoughts I had while watching the episode

We should talk more about the fact that Khai went and got his ass beat defending Milk's honour AFTER he found out she was messing with him. Like he just did that huh. And he had no reason to think it would help him get her back or anything he just did it bc he felt like it. My poor lil meow meow my favourite puppy boy I love him.

All the Khai is autistic/nd posts are correct

All the Khai is demiromantic posts (me im making all them posts) are soooo correct

Khai's not nearly as Straight in ep1 as he'd like to believe. To quote Dreamy, why are you as a man "riding" "charles". He's a bottom. I said what I said.

THE WAY KHAI SAYS LOVE YOU TO THIRD STILL KILLS ME APPARENTLY

Third is the og bl exploiter girlboss. He was capitalising on his sexuality and close male friendships before it was cool.

Two and Bone BOTH knew Third liked Khai in ep1. Two definitely noticed Third in the scene where they wrap up filming, tho he's obviously been eyeing him a while. And Bone absolutely Knew when Third walked away while they were teasing Khai about Milk. He literally frowned at Third walking off and then turned pensively to Khai. Maybe this is when he decided to confront Khai about Third's crush?

Fake Protagonist is still undefeated as best bl ost I said what I said.

Two and Bone are the best friends ever. This friend group is perfection like no other BL has executed a friend group this well, where everyone gets appropriate screentime and no one exists just for comic relief or to further the plot, they all have their story arcs, their own motivations and flaws and endearments, and they don't go off on their own after the show ends. And they ALL actually get along well. Not Me could've had this if the writers weren't Black antis.

It will be so fucking hard to watch one episode of tol per week literally itching to go watch more as I type AAAAAAAAA

And yet. We persevere. See y'all next week!

[caramelcoeur]

Fav heart fragment characters in order ??

(T_T) I love them all in their own way but I shall answer anyway!! (Under the cut is a lot of indecisiveness and rambling don't say I didn't warn you)

1. It's a tie between Natalia and the man I put on my 15th birthday cake. Clive is the reason I got into Heart Fragment but I'm so head over heels with Natalia that I kind of drawn my artsona with her aaaAAAAA

Really excited for Book 3! Clive is forever in my heart but I wouldn't be surprised if Nat took his place <3

2. Coming in close is Shannon!!! In my opinion, her route is the best written in terms of exploring feelings so far plus I feel I relate to Shannon so deeply on a personal level about a lot of things. Shannon you are best girl ♪(^∇^*)

3. My favourite route to play so far is actually Lana's! Which I find surprising since romance is my go-to but there's just something about cherishing the validity of platonic and familial relationships. I'm so up for playing ACNH with Lana so she deserves this spot

4. And cutting it close is our protag Xani >:3 (all genders. Xani is Xani) Despite my pathetic lack of experience in VNs, I adore how customizable their personality is and how their choices affect the plot. I enjoy a set protagonist because when it comes to story-heavy media I'm not too eager to self-insert (•ө•)♡ (see above: mention of artsona x Natalia)

Also how can I forget that I literally bought fem!Xani's charm?? Her outfits are sooo cute ESPECIALLY that purple blouse!😭

5. I feel like Jasper and Kay should be higher up on this list but I simply have a preference for the others ^^" Nevertheless, Jasper is the route I'm most looking forward because I really enjoy his dynamic and interactions with the protag (the kidnapping in Shannon's route doesn't count. NO. SHOO).

Enemies to lovers(?) doesn't describe them enough. The trope doesn't do them justice. One has wanted to murder the other for TWO DECADES and the latter has been in the dark about it until now. The fact that Xani/MC and Jasper have a lot of things in common (dare I say more than MC and Clive) but they want to rip each other into pieces is making me jump up and down excitedly omg.

AND KAY. Kay I don't hate you but I just like the others more than you :( But I really really hope that we get to see him again in Book 3 because he deserves a happy ending just like everyone else.

Honourable mentions: the side cast

Mr Gray Green- Icon. Legend. He is the moment.

Shay- Love her. Ethereal being. Pls come back soon </3

Teryl Sterling- Future bestie-in-law I approve

Inigo- I think you guys don't appreciate his comedic integrity enough. He is THE man. Really kind of him to close the game for us if we ask him to :3

Marcus, Choi, Charlie and True - Amazing designs. Lemme see you all again :(

Dexter- COME BACK. PLEASE.

Dustin. He's a Heart Fragment character. Not my favourite. At all. Put him on the moon. Now. No minions to accompany him. Just. Put him on there.

This was a hull to get through but thank you for the ask 😭 I did need an excuse to ramble on about it!!! Never a bad day to gush about Heart Fragment!!

📌 how did you find your hyperfixation?

used to have a roommate who's really into sci fi, she got me into star trek first, and i've been trying to expand my tastes from there (she recommends me books, i show her sci fi productions of the ussr like animation and films!)

she recently lent me her copy of "the seep" by chana porter and i'm really excited to read it!

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

sci fi is often allegories for what issues we're dealing with right now, and i love using that as a venue of social commentary. and on the other side, sometimes i get really anxious about the future, seeing potential imaginings of it, both good and bad, it helps!

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

oh man, there are so many potential candidates! while i don't have one ultimate favorite, here's a favorite:

the chekhov's gun of it all, the akira motorcycle slide, keke palmer's stellar acting, the unraveling of jean jacket, AAAAAAAA

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

it's very easy for me to fall for a character, i can't choose rn 😭, perhaps if you tell me a show and i have to narrow it down from there, i feel like i could write an essay on almost anyone

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

not many that i can think of that feel deeply personal, though i do tend to project my own issues with identity (as in like, having a concept of the self), and i often find that that can apply to a character like Spock or Julian Bashir

thank you so much for the ask!!!!

There's so much to fix and to repair, the little coding realizes. It skims through the coding of SMG4 and SMG3, worry crawling up and down it. What happened to them? What did this to them?

It reaches the coding that houses their free will. Their abilities to think and move for themselves.

It shudders.

Near all of it is fried. Not to the point where it's impossible to run, but.. it'll make it hard for the two SMGs to even breath.

Carefully, it gets to work. All the coding between them is equally fried, so it can't switch between the code of the two and let one cool while it works on the other.

It moves slowly. Repairing the code that controls their free will. Their ability to think. It repairs it with care and with love. It's only known these two for an hour or so, but it cares so deeply for them. They've been through so much..

It lingers over their free will coding.

It hesitates before adding a lock over it. It encrypts the lock.

It won't let anyone try and force them to do anything again. They will have their free will, always and forever.

The new Coding would smile to itself if it could. It felt like it was doing a good job so far. Hopefully it was.

Anyway, time to get back to work.

LIL CODING I LUV YOU. AAAAAAAA

EATS THIS UP. SO VERY COOL!!!

Do you ever feel so deeply about a crush and then it's like. Okay but I'm actually not insane. I'm actually chilling. And it ruins your excitement? I'm fine. I don't like him enough to be a ghoul but that's not satisfying! I miss being insane. Like bro last time I had a crush I fucking faked being kinky, faked liking gore, fucking faked my IDs (to be fair I already had them but that's not what they're for) and flew to another country and lied for my safety and got my mom involved and kissed a guy I didn't even like to get another guy?? and now with my crush no matter how much I like him it's still never that fucking bad T_T

Like no matter what I do I just can't top me of a couple years ago with a burning heart, completely in love, and I guess therapy does that but also I feel so much less valid in liking him bc he's too sane to make me consider dropping everything and buy him a house or some shit. He just wants normal dates strawberry picking (season starts next week!!) and I'm so happy but also bored??

And I feel guilty bc sometimes I forget that the way I used to feel isn't normal attachment and then I doubt my current attachment and I wonder if I'm leading him on, bc I don't love him the same, and maybe that means I don't like him at all? But I do, I want to be with him all the time it's just so different and calm.

And okay yes my therapist DID say I need to stop dating narcissists bc I may like feeling needed and being lovebombed and dating people with issues makes everything more interesting and passionate but it's making me worse mentally, evidently, I went to comical lengths like a goddamn fanfic character,

And I end up feeling bored with this guy who's a goddamn dream bc I can't have the emotional rollercoaster and he doesn't give me that dopamine Rush and stuff but he's so gentle with me and I don't want to lose him either 🥹

It's like I'm growing but experiencing growing pains as I realize that being an adult is a lot more boring and I have to lean into it rather than back out of it, I have to be normal in order to get the happy ending I wanted with a family and kids. Life isn't a TV drama and I can't always lie and act crazy for love, that kind of love is sick and twisted anyway.

I'm just so frustrated with myself, and embarrassed about all the shit I used to do, and I don't really know how I'm feeling anymore but I HAVE to know bc atp he's still my crush but we've been going out so how long do I really have before he wants to make it official? I don't know if I'm ready I don't know if I'll end up letting him down bc he's just not insane enough for me.

Sorry this is a rant atp I just had to vent somewhere bc aaaaaaaa

ALL THE WIPS SOUND SO GOOD 👀

would love to hear about home is where the teeth sink in

……..or more about the firefighters

aaaaaAAA thank you so much!! 🥹🥹🫂🫂

i juust answered one about home is where your teeth sink in here,, but i’ll add an extra snippet anyway :p

“How long have you got left in town?” You ask loud enough to be heard through to the living room as your pull on your jeans with a hop to help tug the waistband over your arse.

“Today,” he replied calmly.

“Doesn’t leave long for a date,” you joked as you wandered back through to find him studying the photos you had dotted along your bookshelf.

He turned to you with a breathy laugh. “Maybe you should come with me then. Could have our date in London,” he suggested.

You laughed along with him and snatched up your keys from the coffee table. You straightened up and turned to him with a frown when you realised he wasn’t laughing along. He was serious.

“Do you understand how jobs work? I can’t just not show up or take a sudden holiday,” you scoffed in disbelief.

“You can’t?” He teased. “You ever tried?”

“No, because I don’t want to have to go job hunting ever again.”

He paused and looked at you, took in his fill silently until his unshifting gaze had you shifting uneasily. He took a small step forward into your space and gently held your hands in his, looking deeply into your eyes.

“What have you got to lose? Really? Don’t think about work just for a second, what’s holding you back?”

and then the firefighters?? oh i’ve got the ideas ready to go* but they’re not written up at all so i’ll bullet point the main parts below instead!

Johnny

• i was picturing it being set at one of those charity firefighter competitions they do

• he’s a runner, carrying the buckets of water back and forth in front of the crowd

• our reader is a little tipsy and watching with their friends, probably whistling a little as johnny flexes, calls him smth cheesy like hotshot but it immediately goes to his head

• he’d be chatting them up after once their teams wins

Simon

• after he helps put out a fire in one of the local schools and is sweet to the kids, a teacher pops by to say thanks with some baked goods

• she’d catch simon at the front desk while the others were busy or on lunch and would get to chatting

• he’d be silent and looming like usual but i loved the idea of her being a teachers aid for the neurodivergent kids so she just takes one look at him and goes ‘oh he’s nd cool’

• also loved the idea of simon imprinting like a duckling to this woman that doesn’t find him intimidating in the slightest

• she’d probably find excuses to come back and talk to him a few times and suddenly he’s not silent because he’s hesitant around strangers but because he’s trying not to embarrass himself by offering to eat her out on his desk in the back

John*

• the idea i had for price was eerily similar to smth someone posted a while back :/ so im still thinking about a new one for him so they dont think im blatantly copying them 

• it was originally to do with an inspector coming in, so i’m going to brainstorm a different firefighter theme/cliche for his
