#actually this is just me wondering about kuukou lol

[akkivee]

somewhere on this blog i pointed out that dice and kuukou have both said they’d die for their team (even if the vibe on their statements varied lol) and i think saburo’s equivalent of that would be requiem actually?? so now i’m once again wondering about the themes of self sacrifice between dice and kuukou lmao

[akkivee]

bat arrived to the barbie premiere!!!!!!!

[akkivee]

been reading people’s impressions of the guidebook’s contents and one commented that this verse in wink feels like a death flag for otome and ichijiku and i hate how i kinda feel that lol

[akkivee]

rambling about the tdd manga because i can lol:

the entire thing sure did reinforce how convoluted chuuoku’s schemes are lol all that just to test run and create the drbs bruh 😭😭😭

the line at the end where ichijiku and otome are discussing how much more poignant the battles are because they brought them together and then forced them to fight is all sorts of fcked up y’all 😭😭😭😭😭😭

anyway from the beginning lol the mic otome uses is a different mic from even just the next chapter, i wonder if it’s just an non-finalized design or an early iteration of the mic???? like rio has a prototype mic and this is not that lmao. aaaaah but rio’s might be military grade prototype and otome has the version rei presumably finalised on his own???? a different version altogether???? hmmm 🤔

nemu is 16 in that first chapter and ichiro is 17 which would mean all the territory disputes, fixes, and mozuku’s plot to usurp mcd took place in a week lol hypmic’s timeline is SHAKY

(the official timeline helps this a little actually lol)

(maybe)

kuukou, swinging red flags from the beginning making fun of ichiro’s mom lol, also fcked around making fun of samatoki’s dead father and found tf out lmao

kuukou is an entire menace in the tdd manga i see why i had a hard time telling myself not to like him when he first showed up lmao

that theory kuukou might have some sort of brain damage wound up slightly reinforced when kuukou remembered sasara reused an old joke when he seemed to have forgotten that sasara is not funny by the time they reunited lmao he has a great memory in the tdd manga

(that joke sasara reused was only in samatoki’s presence too so kuukou also broke some sort of dimensional wall lmao)

speaking of sasara!!!!!!

ikeBOOBkuro????? really????? and then he had that dumbshit d🍆ck joke he made in dod the clowns DO NOT have rights!!!!!!!!!!

lol tho every time i read these early chapters with sasara, aramaki-san’s track 3 sasara always comes to mind lol like mcd sasara was intimidating actually that’s exactly why track 3 sasara is like that 😭😭😭😭😭😭

hmmmm are the special forces or whatever that tried to hijack the hospital jakurai worked at the same as rio’s special forces???? i’ll have to keep that in mind reading bbmtc manga lol

I STILL BELIEVE JAKURAIS WAVE TECHNIQUE WAS THE VERY FIRST ITERATION OF THE HYPNOSIS MIC TECH

still a little pissed mcd vs nb was the first drb in structure and symbolism (forced conflict created by a higher ruling power used to gain/reinforce power by said higher power and wound up entertaining the masses) and yet sasara and kuukou were booted out of the narrative like that

there was a moment where i Almost Almost considered that ramuda had started to consider bringing sasara and kuukou into his plans in chapter 11 based on how pissed he looked after ichijiku told him they brainwashed them. it’s more likely that ramuda’s mad another ‘him’ died more than anything but it’s nice to consider lol

the terrorist scene where nemu and the baby yamada bros got kidnapped is still insane btw

iconic samajuto first(?) meeting lol lemme just handcuff myself to this man who is already listening to me said juto lmao

NEMUS NERVES OF STEEL FR AN OLD MAN THREATENS BODILY HARM TO HER BUT LITERALLY NOBODY IS SCARIER TO HER THAN HER FATHER SO SHE NEVER FLINCHED

JIROS FIRST BETRAYAL ITS NO WONDER HE STARTED ADOPTING SOME OF ICHIROS SELF PRESERVATION LESSONS

THE FACT SABURO BLOCKED NEMU OUT FROM HIS MEMORY SO LIKELY THIS ENTIRE KIDNAPPING????? PLS PROTECT THE CHILDREN HE HAS PTSD YALL AT 11

and what was UP with that orphanage director in the first place???? who do you choose: money grubbing, child labour exploiting for hoes orphanage director or murderous, gets off on torture and sells children for their superiority complex orphanage director

like WTF????

(also: that extra bb tdd chapter is fcked up too you know mozuku only told ichiro about that first director wasting funds because he wanted to replace him with his associate 🤬)

the face nemu makes when samatoki starts kicking her kidnappers while they’re down help 😭😭😭😭😭😭

in the final tdd bonus, they adapted jakurai’s story he told to dohifu during their championship celebration and used that story to show jakurai had already been slowly awakening his ability. so i think it’s incredible smic didn’t suffer from hearing loss after slamming sticks into their eardrums lol maybe that’s where sensei’s ability started forming

kuukou in chapter 9: man check out all these cute girls!!!! 😁

kuukou in the nb drama track: why tf would you pay to talk to women????

(very unrelated instances lol but hilarious out of context tho)

kuukou and sasara going home in the same direction gave them time to talk and get to know each other and i wanna know what their conversations were about soooooo bad bro 😭😭😭😭

mcd/nb break up Did Not Happen I Do Not See It 😑

that moment where samatoki tells nemu ichiro’s kindness is his weakness because he saw ichiro’s breakdown over kuukou leaving him is— it’s kinda— 😭😭😭😭😭😭

yotsutsuji is an unsung mvp in this manga lol look at all the legwork he put in managing territories and finding intel

tdd was the group ramuda made and it was the group he made for himself but it was never his in the first place 😕

but if yotsutsuji never found out ramuda’s secret, or here; if yotsutsuji didn’t manage to send jakurai an email about it, idk if rmjk would have separated???? like what was the plan for jakurai??? ramuda said jakurai was his nirvana so i guess until chuuoku forced it, kp likely would have stayed together huh?? 🤔

ramuda: chuuoku kidnapped your brothers ichiro!!!!!

ichiro: AGAIN?????

me: damn took the words right out of my mouth lmao

samatoki’s beef with ichiro came from the lies they had nemu tell samatoki but like,,,,,,,,,,,, i kinda wanna know how the damage would have shaped if nemu hadn’t been brainwashed and went on her own will,,,,,,,,,,,

like ichiro admitted he likely would have done the same thing as samatoki but that hurt and betrayal at that moment……..????? well ig it’d go the same way in the end lol

chapter 9 had a conversation with rei and otome where rei praises her son for having balls lol so dice was on the run by 18 and making a name for himself lol i need to keep that in mind for a certain few chapters in both fpmtr runs

i thought it was interesting the battle that brought japan under tdd took place in osaka lol

also came out of this experience wondering once again when did ichiro get his hypnosis ability lol like ramuda already had his jakurai’s developed throughout the story, as did samatoki’s on the dl, but ichiro????

also came out of this very concerned for what this story has in store for nemu again lol like the way rhyme anima put focus on what she could possibly do as well as the end of this manga having otome and ichijiku musing her ability and skill might rival ichijiku’s 🤔

ooooooh and that kp bonus chapter!!!!!! ramuda had jakurai suffering under that waterfall lol like he was about to contract hypothermia after a little bit and ramuda ‘reasons’ it’s good training for taking hits without being knocked out SO YOU KNOW WHO REGULARLY TRAINS UNDER WATERFALLS FOR HOURS AT A TIME WITH A FOCUS BASED ABILITY HARAI KUUKOU—

[akkivee]

i was thinking about how samatoki’s gut was telling him rei isn’t a bad guy vs kuukou’s gut telling him to be wary around rei in arb and nothing’s changed about it lol

just i think i stated on here samatoki can sense they’re the same type of person who would do anything for their most important person but kuukou might be reacting to the sense that rei’s the type to leave someone behind if sees enough reason to 🤔

[akkivee]

‘since i’ve been placed in his body, i must make sure i don’t do anything that goes against harai-kun’s beliefs’

and like, i’m assuming that this is jakurai being very aware that kuukou is a monk, but i have been begging for a philosophical chat between sensei and kuukou since light & shadow dropped, i’m going to take this as confirmation that it did happen lol

[akkivee]

i know i'm late but i really wanted to do a sasara🔄kuukou body swap myself lol and because i’m extra, some some story points:

sasara in kuukou:

went out of his way to buy a wacky suit to wear but didn’t bother with any of kuukou’s piercings or light makeup lmao

and because of his backwards priorities, he used up what little allowance kuukou had on him and couldn’t afford a train to osaka to find him. fortunately, kuukou has only like four numbers on his phone and frequently messages two of them so he knew who to contact

hitoya and jyushi automatically know something is up based on the suit lmao

hitoya: there two things i like about that shitty monk (sasara: just two?? i know he’s a bit of a brat but he’s not that bad-) one: his presence is tolerable when he shuts up💢 and two: he actually has a decent taste in clothes. which you clearly do not

sasara reveals who he is and jyushi goes into fanboy mode lol

turns out sasara had tried to call his own number in hopes of reaching kuukou but kuukou didn’t pick up, and neither jyushi nor hitoya are surprised lol they know kuukou is fine just waiting this strange phenomenon out 

so all three hop on a train to osaka to find kuukou themselves

kuukou in sasara

kuukou put on the least flamboyant clothes in sasara’s closet that he could live with wearing lol

he still got mobbed by fans tho while out and about and wound up buying a hat and mask after absconding from the crowd

rosho and rei happened to be already together and bump into kuukou on the street

rosho tries to get kuukou’s attention by calling out to him, as sasara tho, so obviously he’s getting nowhere lol

rosho grabs kuukou by the shoulder and gets a death glare as a result. rei is kinda taken aback and rosho was shook to his core lol

kuukou: oh shit i couldn’t hear you calling me i had airpods in, my bad

kuukou pieces together that rosho and rei are sasara’s teammates tho because of this and demands food as he tells them what’s up lol

rosho is obviously disturbed by the body swap but rei knows what’s going on so he tells rosho not to worry about it. kuukou decides he likes rei’s attitude lol

rosho wonders how he can be so relaxed about this and kuukou just answers “the best way to deal with what the wind blows your way is to go with its flow”

rosho: why do i feel like whatever is coming from your mouth is mostly bullshit           kuukou *with sasara’s voice*: hyahahaha!!!!!!! you tell me man!!!!

here rosho receives a call from sasara asking where he is and if he’s found his body lol and dh and bat meet up where hitoya instantly knocks kuukou upside his head for being irresponsible lmao and cue bat and dh bonding 🤗

[akkivee]

the seasons have changed in arb and autumn has landed!!! 🍂🍁 obviously that means we get new lines for the season!!!!

ichiro: ichiro thinks autumn is a great season to get your body moving in!!!! he’s been really busy with work lately but he tries to make time to exercise outside with his bros. his next line lol, ‘oh are you curious about this light novel i’m reading?? that’s great!!!!!!!! here, i’ll lend you volume 1 of the series for you to read!!!! doesn’t it look like the perfect book for some fall reading???’

jiro: when it comes to autumn, it’s all about sports for jiro!!! but he does sometimes go with saburo to watch a movie. autumn is the season for the arts after all!!! autumn tends to make jiro really hungry faster. he’s wondering what he should do about since it isn’t time for a meal yet

saburo: he says that many board games can be played online nowadays, but since it’s getting cooler, he likes to go out a find a place to play opponents face to face. saburo next mocks jiro for waking up early to go play soccer with his friends. ‘the season for sports? more the season of sports idiots.’ and he then laughs

samatoki: he’s suddenly questioning why there’s this black smoke from the bonfire. ………………oh shit, that’s gotta be rio grilling up something huh??? in his next line, he comments he’s been getting hungry at random times. it’s likely because of ‘autumn appetite.’ as if samatoki would care about something like that tho lol

juto: for him, autumn is the best time to enjoy art. beautiful things heal the mind 😌 and since it’s the season of the arts, it’s a great time to indulge in the calmness of a museum as you enjoy the fine arts the eastern hemisphere has to offer 😌

rio: autumn is a fruitful season but he advises that it’s best you use the time to stockpile for the winter. he then backtracks a little, thinking that statement makes it sounds like autumn is only good for just that. there’s a lot to appreciate in autumnal nature. there’s a lot of good harvests from the mountains at this time of year, so it makes rio especially excited to put his cooking skills to use lol

ramuda: autumn is inspired as a season for designs!!!! ramuda feels that he’s especially inspired in the fall. and because it’s fall, everyone’s style changes pretty drastically so going on strolls through shibuya has been a lot of fun ⭐️

gentaro: autumn can be the season of harvest, reading, sports and the like. gentaro asks the player how do you enjoy autumn? his next line: ‘“on long autumn nights such as this one, i cannot help but think of a love from the past. the moon glimmers, shines bright in the sky and, oh does it make me yearn for you………” hm. perhaps i’ll make my next story one of a love affair.’

dice: the temperature has been falling and dice has been falling low on funds…… well, in time like these he’ll just pay rio a visit and just enjoy a good meal!!! it seems dice also suffers from ‘autumn appetite,’ no matter how much he eats, he’s still hungry!! he’s too poor to be dealing with this!!!

jakurai: autumn is wonderful. it’s great for reading, appreciation the colors of fall in the mountains and fishing in mountain streams……!! there’s so much to do in fall!! ☺️ autumn’s the perfect season to read, that reminds sensei that he has a lot of books still unread. if he can afford to, he’d like to spend the time and read them all in one go

hifumi: host hifumi says that autumn makes him feel a little lonely. but it’ll be alright, if he just takes it slow and relaxes, his temporary melancholy will go away, just like that. malewife hifumi comments that jakurai really likes fall!!! they went to the mountains the the other day and as they walked around jakurai was all, ‘isn’t this nice? 😊’ and then they went fishing in the mountain streams and jakurai was like, ‘isn’t this nice?😊’

doppo: ‘hifumi and sensei went up to the mountains to do some fishing…….. isn’t that nice…… 😞’ he wants be fit enough to walk on the mountain paths with them….. no, what actually comes first is to not be working on his holidays. salmon are very tasty in fall, according to doppo!!!! he’d like to eat salmon with hifumi on their next mutual day off

sasara: “orange you glad the leaves are turning?? i’m so happy i could yellow ‘bout it!!!” ……and that was nurude sasara’s uproariously hilarious joke: fall version!!! how was it??? super amazing right????” he continues to make stupid puns that i’m not going to bother with lol autumn is a treasure trove of jokes tho lmao

rosho: sasara must have sent rosho his joke because rosho is disgusted lmao he got chills and everything. autumn is the perfect season for reading; it’s not to hot and not too cold. he asks if the player if they would like to drop by the bookstore after he’s off work.

rei: it’s starting to get cooler huh? rei’s happy can finally wear his best fur coat out and about now. so apparently sasara also sent rei an email titled, ‘autumn joke,’ but doesn’t want to open it lmao so he wonders if rosho has so rei can ask if he should bother lol

kuukou: sweeping up the fallen leaves is never ending!!!! they just keep falling one after the other!!!!! but looking at all the leaves piled up makes him want to roast up some potatoes

jyushi: autumn is the season of music so this time of the year is actually pretty exciting for jyushi and his band!!! vkei king jyushi: ‘and so with the fallen leaves my master has gathered, i called forth the holy flame and thus!!!! the golden holy grail has been created!!!!! It was sweet. fragrant. truly delicious.’

hitoya: ‘if you’re wondering what ‘the golden holy grail’ is, it’s just a roasted yam………..’ lol and even tho he’s gotten used to the weird way jyushi talks, it’s still pretty difficult to understand him. he next comments that autumn is a great season for tourism. he asks the player if they’re going to check out the mountains

[akkivee]

don’t expect any cohesion out of this outta this by here’s my thoughts and speculations on the hypmic guidebook image. i’m sorry. it’s stupidly long. 

alright so at first glance, you kinda gotta panic a little because holy cow, very few of the teams are actually together?? bb and mtr are the only two (2) groups actually in close proximity with each other while mtc and fp are all over the place. which is weird since we just got through fp at least reconfirming that they are each other’s true posse and definitely should not be separated right???

big brained twitter users tho came through and it clicked that everyone is separated because their agendas/goals are vastly different from each other, not because of their weak bonds with each other. so lets take a look at where everyone stands with each other

let’s start with the buster bros!!! it comes as a surprise to no one, but the bros are still together since jiro and saburo are largely following after their big bro. i do have a point to mention about saburo, but that’ll come later.

so on to mtc!! save for probably fp, their group has the widest separation. but given each of their goals, it makes plenty of sense. samatoki wants to bring his sister home. juto wants to bring about the end of drugs. rio hasn’t made any grand movements, but he is keeping an eye out on chuohku. different goals, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t one as a team.

fp!! you could feasibly make the bermuda triangle with how far apart they are! fp’s goals, as of now, do align since they are truly together to prevent ramuda from, y’know, dying, but their individual agendas are separate. in a sense. i’ll try to expand on this in a bit.

next is mtr!! much like bb, they are together as jakurai leads them towards his goal and hifumi and doppo follow out of their desire to support him.

and next we have dh!! their placement pretty much follows what went down in their debut drama track, sasara and rosho have been brought together (by rei) and are determined to make it work as they partner up with rei, whose goals are widely unknown, pretty sus and definitely not aligned with sasara and rosho. and to speculate a little about sasara and his placement somewhat behind the rest of the leaders, i think that it’s because sasara has no clear goal as to why he’s participating in the rap battles outside of wanting to be with rosho. he is right where he wants to be, with rosho and doesn’t have any current goals aside from staying with him. at least, none that we know of.

which brings me to bat. and kuukou specifically. but notice, none of the bat members are together as well, and like so, their individual goals are pretty different from each other. hitoya is here to beat jakurai for once in his life, jyushi has a strong desire to overcome himself and to be a stronger person, and kuukou has barely left any room for jesus between him and ichiro because kuukou, similar to sasara, is here for ichiro. this is my personal headcanon, but i do believe that kuukou actually remembers that ramuda was the one who hypnotised him into breaking things off with ichiro. neither one have forgotten the other (e.g. ichiro naming his new team after his duo with kuukou, kuukou at the end of the bat debt drama track saying “wait for me, ichiro...!”) so i do think how close kuukou and ichiro are reflects their mutual desire to be together as a team again. 

another nifty thing i noticed was that there’s a divide amongst the cast, split straight down the middle. you can see it with how gentaro/jyushi, doppo/saburo, samatoki/ichiro, are back to back. and on each side, you have one person posed unlike the rest of them; on the right you rei in the back facing away from everyone. on the left, ramuda sitting on the ground. so, i propose that this divide shows who has goals against chuohku, and those who, while not on their side, are entrenched in chuohku’s plans.

ramuda, as we know, has the biggest chip on his shoulder when it comes to chuohku. they kinda found a replacement for him in his enemy jakurai, discarded him, left him die, that sort of thing. if anyone wants to see chuohku burn, it’s him. anybody on his side of the picture has goals against chuohku. 

ichiro intends to ‘break the wall,’ to topple the chuohku regime and his brothers are right by his side with kuukou there with him as his partner, as previously mentioned. again, we don’t know yet of sasara’s goals outside of being with rosho, but in ‘ahh, osaka dreamin’ night,’ rei’s verse states, “teacher, comedian, doctor, lawyer- Those who are being looked up to as pros are all swindlers,” so there is something going on, not only with sasara, but also with rosho. jyushi is kinda unknown, though ramuda expressed quite a bit of annoyance dealing with him at the end of the bat debut drama track. rio is out here with prior knowledge about plot points such as the hypnosis canceller, in cahoots with former military and hacking into chuohku databases all with an illegal gun strapped to his back. like some of these homies wish they had the balls and the initiative. 

as for the right side, rei is the definition of an anti hero. he’s not on anybody’s side, he working with whoever has the power to get his goal done. and that’s on par with anybody on his side of this picture; everybody here is balls deep in chuohku shenanigans, whether they want to be or not.

samatoki’s whole schtick is to free his sister from chuohku. as we’ve seen in the finale of the tdd manga, samatoki will willing go along with whatever and burn any and all bridges if that means his sister is safe. jakurai is likely on this side due to chuohku doing their damnest to get jakurai within their grasp so they can harness the true hyponsis mic’s full potential using jakurai’s healing ability. and where jakurai goes, doppo and hifumi would be loathe to leave him alone. juto maybe be a cop, but it’s implied he is a high ranking one given his change in outfits from tdd canon to present time (from a cop uniform to a crisp suit.) he’s high enough on the ladder for ichijiku, japan’s #2 big boss lady, to know of his work and to be summoned to aid nemu, another high ranking chuohku officer, in an arrest. hitoya, dice, and gentaro are all vague in connection. hitoya, however, is again part of rei’s callout verse as mentioned earlier, so he may be a swindler in the sense of not unwilling to work with chuohku to further his goals (defeating jakurai) and maybe making some hard cash. gentaro is shady as hell; he seems to be connected to a group called plunderer, which chuohku has control over. as for dice, hypmic likes dropping hints that he’s related to otome.

i mentioned i had an observation about saburo, and without getting too into character analysis (ichiro/rei/saburo similarities as people), it’s interesting to note saburo is on the border of this divide and the closest to rei, which could be a play into where we left saburo, questioning ichiro, after the events of helter skelter.

last general observation! with all the speculation i just dropped, the majority of characters that tie directly to chuohku are hanging in the back. we have rei, gentaro, juto, dice, and rio. i thought it was a neat detail, but it struck me as weird that ramuda was way in the front when he’s probably the most direct result of chuohku existing. but... it’s not like the leaders aren’t tied directly into chuohku. they were chosen by chuohku to be center stage in battles meant to appease the general populace into focusing their aggression on each other.

so looking at the pic again, i noticed a kind of... border??

the ones with obvious connections made a circle. i say obvious and included hitoya and rosho into this because of rei’s verse that i mentioned before. so i’m wondering... does jyushi have some stakes involved in chuohku?? he is a little further into the middle than gentaro, but he’s in line with juto?? this may be a case of over analyzing, but i did point out ramuda’s strange comment about jyushi being annoying to deal with which could randomly come back at any point in the story. or not lol. anyway i’m done, thanks for coming to my ted talk it was as long as an actual ted talk

[akkivee]

aaaaaaaaaaaand bam!!!!!!! here it is the final day!!!!!!!!!!! day 18!!!!!!!!! it’s time to break the wall y’all and wrap this up!!!! can you feel it??? i can feel it!!!!

First impressions: me: *looking at the newsletter from a jp anime goods site*

me: *sees ichiro for the very first time unknowing that this was the start* oh that’s a cute piece of merch!!!!! who’s the guy on it i wonder???? 😲

Current impressions: does ichiro know that i would kill for him. it is important for me to know that ichiro knows i will do anything for him—

man, ichiro randomly popped into my life when i needed him the most; i was really tired from the the previous couple of fandoms i’d been in, looking for a new one unconsciously when he showed up in my email, hugging a cd and utterly adorable with his big heterochromatic eyes. i wish i had a pic of the merch on hand ‘cause it was love at first sight man 💕 and he continues to be an utter delight to know!!!!! he’s the 19 entrepreneur that everyone would be writing about due to his jaded past and how successful he’s gotten all due his hard work!!!!!!!!!! i definitely understand jiro and saburo’s hero worship over him!!!!

Favorite thing:

he’s just a really cool dude man. he’s incredibly levelheaded with an equal amount of brain smarts and street smarts. but that levelheadedness is something he’s working hard to maintain. his personality is closer to samatoki’s and he knows this and wants to be better than the man who let him down and to be a good role model for his brothers with it. he’s an head full thoughts many kinda character and it shows in pretty much everything he does

Least favorite:

his seiyuu is kinda wack lol sometimes it feels like ichiro is one of those bland characters that doesn’t do anything and the surrounding characters are all totes more interesting yet are, for some reason, super into this bland character. thank god this statement is a total disservice to ichiro’s character because he’s incredibly interesting, it’s just ichiro is currently in an ‘after story’ kind of arc in his life where everything is good (for now.) it just sometimes feels like he’s being left behind in the story 😕

What i want to see from this character:

what don’t i want to see??????????????? how is he going to react seeing his father again and on the same team as his old teammate, sasara??????????? does he really know he’s been alive all this time???????? if he has, how is he going to deal with how betrayed his brothers may feel????????????? apparently he and samatoki can make up now since he knows nemu is ‘missing’ and samatoki knows that ichiro has nothing to do with her leaving him but will it really be that easy????????? will he and kuukou make up and be aikata back at again, like how is he going to react seeing kuukou again?????????

Favorite moments:

hhhhhhhhhhhh okay i’m going all in.

it’s not really a favorite moment but something that strikes me as a hindsight is 20/20 kinda thing, but ichiro fully intended to leave his little brothers out of his team and the rap battles. in the very first buster bros drama track, he gave them an assignment each, fully expecting them to fail. it comes as a surprise to him that they got it done and done so well. now, he’s been fully supportive of having his brothers be his team but it’s terribly ironic for him to get so offended when anyone insults his brothers abilities when he was the first to have doubted them.

and say ichiro has known their father’s been alive all this time. rei honestly might as well had been good as dead to them with how absent he’s been in their lives. granted, it’s definitely not something that comes up in casual conversation but with jiro and saburo having to confront ichiro pretty much twice in the course of helter skelter, it really looks like ichiro just doesn’t have faith in his brothers to outsiders and that could really blow up on him man

in our treasure trove of character tidbits called arb, when you have ichiro set as your my room mascot, he comments on his brothers who seemed to have stepped out and it’s something along the lines of:

“where is jiro? i hope he’s not getting involved with any weird people....” and “where did saburo go?? ......well, if it’s him, i think he’ll be alright.”

and if this isn’t the best example of how ichiro feels about his brothers individually lol. i’m sure ichiro is worried jiro’s trying to copy him too much and sees saburo doing things he was never capable of at his age as an inspiration but it’s interesting food for thought

and then in the stage play (*crowd boos*) has some of the best ichiro moments but i’m just going to say ichiro yelling at his brothers for being too loud with their musical number when he was the loudest one on the stage was really fcking funny 🤣

Headcanon:

i’m pretty sure this is canon at this point but ichiro is a clingy mf like once he’s decided you’re one of his peoples, then you are one of his peoples. you see it with how much of a brocon he is, you see it in the stage play when his long lost childhood friend, kazu, rolls into town and refuses to believe that kazu may be trouble, and you see it with ichiro naming his team buster(s) bros after his old team with kuukou who he still thinks about and considers a friend. (and might i add, was willing to change everything about himself in order to keep kuukou by his side and he’s the only person we see ichiro seriously crying over save for when he thought his brothers were dead after he lost the showdown battle with samatoki)

Ships:

ICHIKUU FOR LIFE!!!!!!!! ICHIKUU SUPREMACY MUST BE REINSTATED!!!!!!!!! like bro how do you have two different types of protagonists mesh as well as they do like they’re both loners with a huge amount of power but where kuukou is kinda nuts ichiro is kinda cool. kuukou is definitely ichiro’s sun but kuukou’s the one who puts himself into ichiro’s orbit like if their relationship turns out to be where if ichiro is struggling or if he’s calling and kuukou comes running, i will actually perish!!!! and then they’re both weebs!!!!! i really wanna know how this current ichiro, who’s a lot happier and not emo, and kuukou are going to mesh!!!!

lol and then ichidice is kinda cute and so is poly 19 year olds, ichiro/nemu/kuukou!! and of courses, i am heavily invested in however his and samatoki’s relationship is going to pan out

happy birthday hypmic!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎊🎉🥳🥳🥳🎉🎊

i’m kicking off hypmic month here by kinda stealing from the hypmic twitter and talking about one character a day, starting with rei!! once i’m done, i’ll talk about hypmic in general and i may or may not give a go at the chuuoku ladies after that, we’ll see lol

okay!!!!!! amayado rei!!!!!!!!

First impressions: wow who tf is this guy disrespecting ichijiku like this????

Current impressions: he lucky he’s one of, if not the, most interesting characters in hypmic otherwise i’d find a way to beat his deadbeat dad ass *grumble grumble*

lol rei has been in my sights since his very first appearance and i guess that says something about his character and how much he stands out amongst the cast. ‘cause he really is interesting! any time i’m sitting down and thinking about him and what he’s about, i could lose an hour of my day speculating. just yesterday i was wondering whether or not rei really meant what he said about ichiro’s achievements based on the new information we got from the updated profiles. he doesn’t always says what he means but he makes sure to keep his promises like!!!! why is he such a conundrum of a man!!!!!! i vibe with both sasara and rosho when it comes to rei; he’s a funny guy but he’s also really sus!!

Favorite thing:

i like his air of intrigue. he has a lot of cards on the table and we only know what’s in play. it feels like we’ll never really know everything about him and what he’s doing. that’s really neat; he’s never going to be a stagnant character, even if hypmic’s writing may or may not do him dirty 

Least favorite:

fuckin dead beat ass father only showing up to take jiro and saburo away after ichiro did all the hard fuckin work to bring the together and raise them fuck you man

he’s not a very good father 😞

What i want to see from this character:

what don’t i want from rei?? i mostly wanna see how the story treats him. he’s mc mastermind and i wanna see him really come into that name. but i also want to see the story punish him; not necessarily for his plans, just more for conflict and how he’s going to have to overcome it when his plans go awry. i also would like to see him in his gold tracksuit asdfjkkkjfds

Favorite moment:

ahhh, his and sasara’s banter with rosho in helter skeleter when rosho came home to see them just chilling and drinking when they had clearly broken and entered his home. probably the only part of that drama track that didn’t give me anxiety lmao

A Headcanon:

 hhhhhhh i have a lot and i talk about a lot of them in my thinking tag. uhhhhhhhhh how about he’s actually blind in his scarred eye and he used to have blue green heterochromia like saburo. idk if I’ve made that a specific post or just stuck it in the tags but it’s a lighthearted hc 

Ships:

none that i’m crazy about! i don’t mind seeing him sasara, hitoya, and ramuda!! there needs to be a liiittle more trust on rosho’s side for me to want to ship them and i would like to learn more about his and gentaro’s relationship before shipping that as well!

that’s all from me here! once i start talking about more characters i’ll and them at the end right here!!

scrounged around for some more dh/bat stage spoilers and found a decent summary! i had a hard time understanding it tho so i know i’m missing chunks (even more than what the summary gives me lol) but anyway key points from the summary that i got:

the auxiliary team seems to be students of rosho’s?? sasara comes to visit rosho and they geek out over the famous comedian their teacher knows and then geek out over the comedy routine sasara pulls rosho into

lol and apparently that’s a recurring thing where sasara starts a skit and rosho unconsciously goes along with it lol rosho tells sasara at one point to stop that but you know sasara is having the time of his life 😂

anyway the aux team is a duo rn because their other member broke it off with them

cue sad sasara noises

their missing member apparently has been acting strange and rosho and sasara go to rei for answers

and this part of the summary made excited because when confronting rei, rei understands why rosho is asking but doesn’t get why sasara is there. i don’t think he really gives an answer but you can’t tell me he’s not only just trying to help out these kids get their old partner back, but because where rosho goes sasara is making sure to follow!!!! feeling super validated rn about rosho leading sasara into plot he would have otherwise stayed out of if rosho wasn’t there!!!!!!

anyway said missing member is actually with jyushi trying to get him to help him out

we find out through rei and also through jyushi listening to the guy, that his grandma is sick and started working with shady people to get money to pay for her medical bills. he’s being thoroughly manipulated by the boss tho but he’s trying to get out

jyushi is totally crying and why not man they have similar life experiences

i think hitoya and kuukou have been there this entire time tho? idk when they showed up but kuukou stresses the dude needs to fight back against his boss

and in another interesting moment to read, kuukou is kuukou and doesn’t mince his words so it comes off cruelly. after the guy runs off because of how hurt he is, jyushi and hitoya both scold kuukou for being mean and reminding him that not everyone is as strong as he is.

i do wonder if that’s going to be part of kuukou’s character growth going forward, learning to be softer? especially teamed up with someone like jyushi

idk where this play has taken place this whole time but kuukou finds the troubled teen in mothertruckin ikebukuro where kuukou apologizes and also setting my expectations for ichikuu reunion coming with an apology since these plays have been suspiciously lining up with character plot points not yet discussed but we know needs to be

i think dh/bat come together with the aux team to beat up the manipulative asshole plaguing the sad member who was out here guilt tripping him for leaving him by saying he needs to think of his grandma. well, i know dh was there idk if bat was but there was a part where jyushi is laying out his verse and both kuukou AND hitoya do some flips as backup and that’s what’s up lmao go hitoya go!!! and the final battle seems to be the best place to put that lol

all’s well that ends well, the aux team are back together and hitoya the goat pays off all the bills for the kid’s grandma’s medical expenses and even recommended taking her to jakurai mr. miracle doctor

that’s actually the entire summary just transcribed to my understanding lol my bad. but something this play has really cemented for me is...... sasara and kuukou aren’t the best of leaders.

on sasara’s part, sasara just doesn’t want to. sure rei’s the established wild card and is harder to lead/direct, but outside of leading rosho into a pun, sasara largely just goes along with rosho and doesn’t care to change the flow

as for kuukou, those are growing pains. there’s potential, and that’s why kuukou’s dad let him train jyushi, but it’s obvious kuukou’s going to need a bit of an attitude adjustment. it was pointed out to him in the play that not everyone is as strong as he is and going from being partners with someone who was as strong as he was (and i’m sure buried within him somewhere, kuukou did think that ichiro was his leader since wherever ichiro went, he did too) to being with a team who can’t keep up means learning from them to help bring them forward with him

good stuff out here, assuming that this summary is accurate lol

[akkivee]

hey, a question real quick!!!! who do you call when it’s the doctor who’s giving you palpitations, raising your blood pressure, making you question your sanity because you can’t stop thinking about them??? you got nothin for me?? cool i guess i’ll die!! 🤷‍♀️

lol here we are on day 9!! today is all about jakurai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First impressions: ooooh, he’s really pretty...!! i wonder what he sounds like...?? *listens to drb* ............................... *goes back to listen to dba* ..................................................................................................ᴏʜ.

Current impressions:  *wearing my mtr shirt and jakurai/mtr ita bag while cuddling my jakurai plushies in broad fcking daylight and staring at the jakurai lock screen on my phone with a mtr case to pretend that i’m not that weirdo* so i may have a problem.

hi, so jakurai is my favourite character and its been a blast, bro. i first got into him because his looks and voice are to die for but then i read the lyrics to his first character song, and you see the pain jakurai is holding onto and letting it fuel his every movement and decision. (also, he makes a point to state in his song the equivalent of he will walk backwards in to hell with the final laugh. sexy.) you initially think jakurai has a god complex but in reality, he is so dependent on his friends’ happiness. if they are happy, he is happy. if they are sad, he is sad. their anger is his. because they are, therefore he is too 

Favorite thing: 

his haiiir.................... his vooooice...................... his haaands.............. his 195 cm height and the fact people accuse him of looking down on them when he literally cannot look at them any other way because he towers over everybody like seriously y’all thats just your fight instincts being activated in the presence of someone who can admittedly kill you and has the looming stature to back it up but it aint that serious..................... his leeeeeegs..............................

Least favorite:

honestly nothing whatsoever but he does tend to attract weirdos, both in canon and in the fandom. don’t get me wrong its hilarious to see jakurai’s stans incapable of processing their very intense feelings for this one man but man his fans can be pretty feral (but i understand lol)

What i want to see from this character:

*slams fist on the table* for jakurai to have lasting and fulfilling relationships!!!!!! i’m tired of everyone leaving him!!!!!!!! i’m tired of everyone being taken away from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let him be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol and tho i really doubt i could handle it, i’d like to see his years as an assassin. for all that i hate his suffering, he really makes it look good and i’m sure they’d make jakurai unfairly attractive murdering people for a living. one thing hypmic does well, i think, is handle death very seriously so i’m 100% ready to have my heart cut into pieces watching jakurai come to care for human life the way he does ;w;

Favorite moments:

hahaha read it and weeps kids, moments. okay so some of my top jakurai moments are:

1) jakurai as the final boss in the vrmmorpg event in arb. he was so cute enlisting ichiro’s help setting up the game and asking him tips on how to be the big bad and then struggling to maintain the role lmao

2) when jakurai got drunk in the drama track ‘testimony.’ chalk it up to his seiyuu’s talent, but the way you can hear him getting drunk by the sounds of his chugging and then the sheer energy drunk!jakurai has compared to the first time we heard him get drunk is so much fun!!

3) jakurai in the fp vs mtr manga. they didn’t have to draw him like that. but they did and i spend every waking hour thanking them for it. especially that moment when jakurai hears dohifu’s rap for the first time. they just have a fantastic style but the way they give the jakurai fans what they want makes me wonder if they’re a stan too lol

Headcanon:

i actually had this headcanon debunked by actual canon lol. see, before canon mucked this up for me, i believed that jakurai had taken in kannabi yotsutsuji because he was the one who took out his parents as an assassin. seeing yotsutsuji so heartbroken is the final push jakurai needed to quit being an assassin and take control of his life

LMAO AND THEN THE GUIDEBOOK DROPPED A FAT TURD ON THIS WITH THE CANON TIMELINE like unless there is another retcon in the works, ramuda says assassin jakurai disappeared from the world 10 years from when they met in the tdd era. that makes jakurai 22 when he stopped killing people for an occupation. jakurai was 27 when he picked up yotsutsuji lol 

fortunately, i think about jakurai all day every day and i can just tweek this lol. forget ages,  jakurai has a thing for kids, and it may come from the fact jakurai may have started assassin work as a kid, probably with because of a traumatic loss of his parents. so he takes in yotsutsuji because he’s always trying to repent, but also he wants to make things better for a kid he sees in himself :’)

Ships:

JAKURAI HAS TWO LONG ARMS TO CRADLE HIFUMI AND DOPPO IN. MTR OT3 IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!!!!! i also really like jakurai with hitoya and samatoki!! he just pairs well with surly grouchy dudes i guess lmao

the fifth dawn of the new celebratory moon has risen and as such, hence!!!!!! new scriptings of a lone person from this ensemble of poets whomst wield the power of hypnotic reverberations!!!!

(t/n: iiiiit’s day five of hypmic month!!!! a new day and a new post and it’s time for jyushi!!!!)

First impressions: *reading other’s reactions to nagoya division reveal* a lot people are commenting about how surprising his voice is..... i wonder what it sounds like 🤔 *preview of batfs drama track drops* OH. OHHHH.

Current impressions: *cradles jyushi close* i’ve known jyushi for a total of 12 months and if anything happens to him i will burn kr down to grou—

we’re getting close to one year anniversary of the 4th live day 1&2 where nagosaka debuted!!! september 7th and 8th!!!! happy one year anniversary in the series dh/bat!!!! 🥳🎉 i gotta say, i wasn’t expecting to love the new divisions as much as i do!! when hypmic put in the work for advertising the bat album, all three of the seiyuu commented that you would be rooting for jyushi from here on out, and they weren’t lying lol. it wasn’t easy listening to jyushi’s story and how who he is as a person shows the negative impact of his bullying but i respect the heck out of him for wanting to be better and to feel better about himself. and he’s so cute i’m here for his entire aesthetic like bro 14 year old me is living it up wild for jyushi’s vkei style 🌙✨🖤

Favorite thing:

his mic and speakers are fire bro. i lost my marbles when they dropped like the way they incorporated amanda into jyushi’s umbrella mic is inspired!!!!!! his speakers are the grave his rap will bury his foes in!!!!! agent of chaos in the making aimono jyushi!!!!!!

Least favorite:

when he starts crying ;-;

What i want to see from this character:

for jyushi to be cool, confident vkei king he wants to be...... this is kinda bat/dh manga spoilers but the recent chapter shows jyushi hyping himself up in front of a mirror because he sees the person he wants to be reflected back at him. his vkei persona maybe a defense mechanism but it’s still inside him!!!! you are that person jyushi!!!!! i believe that you can fully become a vkei star!!!!!!

i would also like to see how/if he knows doppo and/or hifumi since, as kuukou pointed out, he didn’t immediately start edgy-speaking to them as we know he does around new people

Favorite moment:

hhhhh i have issues choosing one singular moment for jyushi but i cheated with hitoya so imma cheat for jyushi as well lmao

1) his entire cameo in the mtr drama track, ‘chaser from the past’ is actual comedic gold

2) his song has some of my favorite lyrics in the entire series like the chorus dedicated to amanda, the line where he says he puts on makeup to become someone better and the verse that gets me every time is 🎶MASU MAIKU TSUKAMEBA DARE DAREKA NO HIIROO🎶 😫✊

3) when he clears his throat put his edgy voice on lol

there’s also a moment in the bat/dh manga i adore but i don’t wanna spoil too much about 😅

Headcanon:

his band isn’t popular lol. the vkei scene in nagoya loves him don’t get me wrong!!! he’s definitely the most popular vkei band in nagoya it’s just outside of that, absolutely nobody knows who he is lmao

Ships:

nothing i’m overly committed to actually!! i think jyushi/jiro is really cute tho and i don’t mind him and kuukou together!! i mostly want him to just interact with the buster bros since i think he and ichiro would actually get along very well and i need to know how saburo would handle jyushi’s edgy speak!!!!!!! please let jyushi and saburo interact kr i will perish not knowing how their initial interaction will go down!!!!!!!! from one goth teen to another edgy teen!!!!!!!! please!!!!!!!

[akkivee]

*kuukou voice* yeah yeah ✌

i got into hypmic in 2018 just before death respect came out!!! i can’t remember the exact date but i use death respect as my personal hypmic anniversary lol. as to how, i used to do shopping on aitaikuji and their newsletter had hypmic merchandise. they were advertising this one merch line that had ichiro hugging a cd or a record??? anyway that was love at first sight lol

i actually did first impressions of each character last year for hypmic month lmao but in general, i was just ready to love everyone lol. sensei stuck out the most to me, his voice bruh

ichiro followed very closely by jakurai!!!

buster bros!!! i like protagonists lol

my favorites are still the same with the addition of kuukou lmao. fp used to have a considerable sway over me but that’s faded over time??? kinda??? i think it’s that i just got more preoccupied with the newer divisions lol

answered!!!

proooooooobably break the wall if i’m being honest!!!! honourable mention goes to bat solos and party wo tomonaide tho lmao

hhhhhhhhhhhhh uh it’s actually impossible to have a favorite group song that’s just how it is lol but iwgp stella black journey kaigen and batfs are probably top 5 in no particular order

i bang harder to labyrinth wall and shinjuku style than what’s probably warranted lmao

yeah lmao bat and bb don’t miss

c-character wise??? idk i like ichiro, dice, samatoki and hitoya’s stuff the most probably???? seiyuu wise i’d say nozu or iwasaki-san lol

i’ve been listening to home made kazoku, dj u-ichi’s group, and nobodyknows, the group that composed batfs since i was like 12 lol they sang songs for naruto shippudden so that was my first foray into j-rap/hip hop. i like cypress ueno’s stuff, dotama has quite the sound lol, i’ve also been listening to teddyloid since before hypmic was a thing and of course, reol 😌

depends on the person lol but i’m most acquainted with people who like rock so probably batfs, moonlight shadow or hoodstar➕ when that comes out lol for the scope of the cast

ye it’s arb id: mqg6whmif4zp

all i do on this blog is talk about what combos i wanna see lmao but definitely a bat/mtc one, that’s my biggest priority. OHHHH and nagosaka halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHA yeah ichikuu, matenrOT3, and riodice get my engines going the most but i multiship hardcore like i have at least three ships i really like for each member of the majority of the cast lol

nah

probably mtr lol high school beat openly talking about weeb shit out of me but i’d love to free my inhibitions and talk nerd with ichiro and kuukou lol

lol no i don’t but my personality is probably close to doppo’s and my tastes run similar to ramuda’s and kuukou’s

i make a lot of noise for mcd/nb shenanigans lol but i am very curious about the trajectory of tdd relationships like i still can’t envision ramuda warming up to jakurai again and i really think it’s a shame ichiro and samatoki fell out like that. bb/rei stuff is up there, fp handling each of their chuuoku connections as a team, etc etc

lol idk are rio and hitoya slept on??? i follow a lot of bat and mtc fans that i get regular content for them so i don’t feel that way but they probably are huh???? so def them *sighs* and rei too, even if i’m a bb stan first, hypmic fan second LOL rei is legitimately that interesting tho you could go on for hours just wondering what his endgame is 

i have too much hypmic merch actually lol!!!!!! i’m most proud of my sweets paradise mochi collection tho i have them all and i’m eagerly waiting for the nagosaka mochis lol. as for what i want, i really just want the ichiro merch that got me into the series 🥺

i will literally cry if i let myself really go off about kuukou but he’s just utterly freeing to watch lol

uhhhhh i hc that the path kuukou is on started because he was honoring his mom

side characters like nemu???? because nemu!!!!!! and unami??? girls???????? 🥺👉👈

bb is just like, that book series, a series of unfortunate events, where these three siblings are on the run but would do absolutely anything for each other in order to stay together and I Like That. bat and mtr are found family and the rest of the divisions fall along this line, i just really vibe with mtr’s, ‘the years have worn us down but we take solace in each other’ codependency. as for bat, somehow their found family acts like brothers, not unlike the buster bros dynamic (ichiro breaks up jiro and saburo fights, jyushi does his best to mitigate kuukou and hitoya fights lol) and i think it’s neat. and it’s neat to see kuukou lead his team in a way that’s pretty different from the traditional sense of the word

i’ll just do mtr lol but i like to think about where mtr would be 10 years down the line and they’re all mentally in a much better place and living together lmao but hifumi retires the host life and becomes a very successful culinary icon via youtube, tiktok, ig, whatever video based social media platform is big in hypmic world lol. he’s already popular due to the notoriety that he’s never managed to shake after the drbs have ended so it was a very quick rise to fame lol and he lands a designated time slot on national tv for his own cooking show!!! doppo becomes manager of his department at e.l. medical in those 10 years and is a healthier man for it lol. the workload has decreased exponentially since he no longer has a balding boss who shoves his own work onto him and doppo is very capable at anything he does. so much so, he’s actually being considered for a higher management position!!!!! jakurai is still a doctor lol shinjuku central tho somehow falls into his ownership but fortunately for him, he’s allowed to continue his service and lets others handle the bureaucracy of the hospital. so jakurai has even more money, got his kid back, and two husbands, he’s flourishing lol. his hair is also longer than ever and it’s gotten to a point where he needs to braid it in his every day life and dohifu enjoy helping sensei take care of it at night; combing through it and applying his hair oils have become a bit of a nightly tradition. jakurai will cut his hair tho at 50, to the length he had it in college and everybody around him does cry a little bit about it, esp doppo lol

as many as i can lol i watch quite a bit of their various web shows and i’ve been trying to watch everything hayama-san is a part of. he was recently announced as part of the cast to this budding series called BURNS SKOOL; it’s about these kinda troubled kids coming together and forming a dance unit to take the world by storm but that means they have to beat the team that’s at the very top. hayama-san voices KIRA from that rival team and the character is such a bitch to anyone who isn’t his own team i love him already lol anyway please listen to their song it slaps i’ve been obsessed with it

a decent amount actually!!!! like j-rap/hip hop do have style overlaps with american rap/hip hop so i was already pretty familiar with the terminology they use since i’ve grown up with rap. however, i thought it was pretty neat that jp rap focuses on vowels rather than how the word sounds like in rap i’m familiar with. and the rhyming prose can change mid verse the streams have been pretty educational lol

ichiro lol but you know what really sealed the deal??? hifumi flexing his wealth in dba lmao i was obsessed with that verse for a very long time

the fact i managed to pump out 30 days of kuukou art lol!!!!!!!!!!!! all the works i've been most proud of recently have been kuukou related, my first kaigen piece, the time i drew kuukou’s speakers and that ichikuu fic i managed to write despite not ever finishing a piece of fanfiction since like, 2012 lol 😭

the manga/drama tracks are where it’s at but shout out to the stage plays for being absolutely phenomenal

answered!!!!!

most recent was me correctly guessing that rio picked up popular trends from the radio lol i feel fortunate that none of my theories have come true because i depress myself if i think too hard about this series lol. most of my theories are kuukou related tho and we have a ways to go before i get answers so only time will tell lol

hmmmm the initial hypnosis mic distribution (aka this is likely how naughty busters became a thing lol) and how society started to form around that openly distributed threat, the hints of uprisings sprinkled about and if rio will have a part in leading the revolution lol, the final ramuda creation and why rei sees benefit in keeping ramuda around just to name a few lol

i’m notoriously shy lol so i don’t go out of my way to engage in conversation but i cherish everyone whom i've talked about this series with 🤗

bat lost so my anxieties towards the drb have decreased exponentially LOL like i want bb to win so i’m voting for them, but the stars have aligned for posse so i expect them to win and i hate to say it, but i’ll be far less disappointed by a mtr win than i should be, once a matenhoe always a matenhoe 😅 i believe in posse tho lol

hypmic has hit me at a point where i’m pretty tired of hopping from fandom to fandom and it’s less of me wanting a fandom home but just a place where i can exist in peace with characters i like in a decent story and that’s what hypmic’s managed to provide for me. like hypmic ticks all the boxes of preferred content that’s kept me in other fandoms for years in the past and the story hypmic drip feeds us happens to be incredibly moving stuff that keeps me entertained for hours idk hypmic is just a nice series for where i am rn

the music and the characters probably it just kills me how inaccessible this series is lol like thank fck for slug for translating the manga, the wiki is fine as well, but the rest of the vast world of hypmic you have to just get lucky to find providers for and that sucks yo

lol that won’t be hard, i’m a very sentimental person, i still deeply care about series that changed my life over ten years ago lmao it started with the music and music always keeps me coming back to past franchises so in ten years time, i’ll probably put dba➕ on and just remember how fun it was back in the day lol 😌

i’ll do these on my own time when i have access to the read more feature lol
