BACK AT MY PJO X PRSK AU BULLSHIT

by the way, i am starting to have troubles coming up with powers, haha...

i did call backup in the form of my friend that used to be as big of a pjo nerd as me, but he hasnt come up with anything yet, so if you wish to help, you can ask me about a character in my askbox (that is always open) and i'll tell you who said character has as their godparent

LESS GO GUYS

More More Jump (1/2)

i decided to split every group into pairs like that because it's easier for when i dont have ideas 💪

today's sillies: MINORI AND AIRI

(they may both be children of minor goddesses, but trust me it works so fucking perfect)

Airi got the same treatment as Tsukasa and MMJ also got split 3v1, but unlike him, she knew that at least Shizuku had something going on, because they both saw things they weren't supoosed to and Shizuku told her about Camp Jupiter and tried to invite her, while she's like "there's a second one"

You get the thing, they know

I personally like to think she's seen shit before she actually got attacked for the first time, but she had to run with it

Hebe is the Greek goddess of youth and we (the 4 people that worked on the original list), thought that she'd be perfect for her, because of Airi's repeated theme of youth in her stories and comms <3

Airi passively has the ability to age slower, so at the prime of her life, she will naturally retain beauty for a prolonged period of time. She's also slightly more resilient to wounds: bleeds out less, doesn't get bruises and marks easily etc.

An active ability of hers is reversing wounds, without any training she can easily get rid of minor scratches - personally called it an ability similar to Rapunzel's hair, just without the hair and singing part

Imagine her being Happy Everyday and booping a kid's scraped knee,,,,,,,, and the injury goes away like magic,,,,, ,, *fucking cries*

As for Minori - she's a kid of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck

Which she found incredibly out of place when she got claimed at Camp Jupiter, because she "keeps failing" (girlflopping) and generally being unlucky, but that was simply her own fault (unknowingly)

Her power is giving other's her luck, but it's at her own expense - she's so kindhearted towards others, she wishes everyone all good and suffers from it afterwards

You know all those auditions she "failed", despite being so talented? She wished the girls who were her competitors the best of luck... :')

(minokoha middle school friendship because i forgot how miya's high school uniforms looked like, so i drew the miya middle school ones - dont ask how i know those and not the hs ones)

tumblr has tried to silence me like 3 times by deleting my draft or parts of it, this is literally 1984

[hexesncherries]

hex's take on: whisper of the heart

i literally can't and won't shut up about this movie

best studio ghibli movie imo

i don't know why there aren't a lot of reader/writer girlies talking about it it is literally my dream romance

shizuku is just like me fr

seiji is so cute

they are just both amazing

so if you haven't watched it, a quick summary

it is about this girl shizuku, she's in middle school not too sure about her future but she LOVES to read. she's constantly checking books out of the library right, and she notices that in a lot of the books this guy's name appears (seiji) and she does what any teenage girl would do and starts wondering what is this guy like bc a little daydreaming never hurt nobody.

she also has a talent for writing as told by her friends so then she meets this guy and it's like an rivals to lovers but it really isn't and she discovers that this guy turns out to be seiji !!?? and not only does he read he is also really passionate about violin making and he his biggest dream is to go to Italy and learn how to. so his parents sent him in like an apprenticeship to see if he could actually make a living out of it, it was meant to last 2 months so he leaves and this makes shizuku realize that while she may not be really sure of her future, the people that surround her are, and she decides that, since she is as passionate about writing as seiji is about violin making, she will write a book before he comes back.

so after that shit summary (i swear i am more eloquent and funny when speaking) i will continue

i think this movie like all of the ghibli movies carries this nostalgic feeling, it makes you feel at home somehow

this film however feels a little more close to a real life story

seeing shizuku's interactions with her family that lives in a small, crowded apartment and that have to split chores due to a lack of time give the film a sense of realness i hadn't experienced with other ghibli productions

shizuku's actions and decisions are very on brand for a girl her age and i can really see myself in her, giving it all your all and then realizing that even after you've sacrificed so much it is not good enough is something we've all gone true and i think whisper of the heart does a really good job demonstrating this, but remaining hopeful that someday it will be enough

seijis and shizuku's relationship also feels very teenaged, falling hopelessly in love and seeing yourself with your middle school boyfriend while achieving almost impossible goals is what this movie means to me, but it gives me hope, it truly does

the confessions are so heartwarming, and the love that they share, as innocent as it is, feels real

anyway those are my thoughts, i really do love this movie

sorry if I completely butchered that summary

i swear that it is the sweetest most heartwarming movie ever

[xiu21chen99]

hxh headcanon!!

/imagine ofc!! everyone expected another, i hope shhdjdkf

umm... my art?? I'll be transferring it to digi-art tomorrow or sth but uh be nice pls, im new to dis

the art is related to the hc,,, anYWAYS DARK CONTINENT ARC TIMELINE and... TW! blood, violence and death. this is what i envision the "battle for hisokas head" arc story thingey would go

ON THE BLACK WHALE!

Hisoka has killed most of the spiders already, all that was left were Illumi, Kalluto, Chrollo, Shizuku and Bonolenov (bc the latter three formed a group truce rmmbr)

he decides to save the Zoldycks for last so he hunts for the mf who mangled his face and literally killed him

Hisoka makes quick work of killing Bono and Shizuku (nooo my bby ;-;)

Chrollo and he have a sort of stalemate stance bc they're in a discrete room in the Black Whale, they're meters apart and they're literally just walking in a circle to see who'd make the first move

Bono and Shizuku's bodies are in the same room

Illumi comes in with Kalluto in tow and the two siblings stop dead in their tracks to watch

that's when Hisoka moves in for the kill

but Chrollo counters w a spell he pulled from his book- an explosion erupts, tho it's a small, kind of controlled one but still, everyone in the room are forced back

Hisoka's thrown to a wall while the other three skid back on the feet

the emergency alarms ring in the room, the automated doors move to close

Illumi and Kalluto make eye contact before Kalluto runs for it, Illumi goes to block the door when he left, making sure Chrollo doesn't follow suit before walking towards Hisoka

"what are you doing?" Chrollo asks when Illumi helps the clown to his feet.

"oh, did i not tell you?" Illumi pulls out a few needles from his outfit "Hisoka has also commissioned for your head, but only under the circumstance where he could see."

"no, you forgot to mention that." Chrollo humors, book in hand and a forced smile on his lips

"oh this should be fun," Hisoka adds beside him, cracking his neck with a sinister grin

"i take it you were serious about the... engagement ring you mentioned earlier?" Chrollo asks as he flips to a page in his book

"quite, yes. i have already told my brother to not contact our parents about it, hence why he was with me up until now." Illumi explains, pins glowing with violet nen

"how boring, i had hoped you'd at least introduce me to my in-laws before we get on with it." Hisoka teases, cards in hand

"disgusting." Chrollo sneers, and the tension in the room snaps.

There's another explosion, quite bigger and definitely stronger. Illumi blocks the stray debris from his eyes with a hand, squinted eyes taking in everything that was to see.

Hisoka was still beside him though his head was snapping from left to right trying to navigate their common target

There's whispering, then Chrollo's puppets appear behind them, seeming to have grown from the concrete ground

they were mindless pawns, Hisoka gladly kicked them all til they returned to dust

what came next were Bono and Shizuku, though Illumi could have sworn they were dead earlier

"it's a stolen power, they might still be able to use their nen." Hisoka warns, and as if to prove his point Shizuku attacks Illumi with Blinky

"cut off their heads!" Hisoka yells, disappearing into the still present dust cloud of the post-explosion

Shizuku was the easier target, death made her think that vacuum of hers was a sword. Illumi pins her to the wall and snaps her head off

Bono was more clever, he hid in the dust and used his whistle like body to distract Illumi from where he actually was

Then he attacks when he had his back turned to him

But Illumi soon gets the hang of it, whips back to his right to catch Bono mid jump, and crushes his neck like paper

He drops the twice killed body and wipes his hands on his pants

There's strong aura somewhere in the room, so he follows his instincts through the smog

Another explosion, but this time actual smoke builds up in the room, triggering the fire alarms and the sprinklers

"you fucking bitch!"

"you should have stayed dead, Hisoka!"

Illumi follows the voices and now obvious sounds of fighting

as the smoke clears, he sees multiple figures go after who he assumes was Hisoka. Logically speaking, he was the only target of those useless puppets

Illumi jumps to his feet to help him, throwing pins at the three running to Hisoka at stumbling speed

He lands behind Hisoka with grace, feet as silent as ever.

the smoke is nearly gone now, so when Illumi turns to see if Hisoka was alright he's shocked to find a rock figurine, roughly formed to Hisoka's shape and build

"Hisoka-"

"i can't believe you fell for that" Chrollo says behind him, but Illumi has already sent needles flying his way

"what did you do?"

unprepared, Chrollo's sent to the wall, hands pinned and spread. there were matching pins buried deep into the palms of his hands making him unable to move

"I just killed the bastard who shouldn't have come for my friends."

his hands needed to touch something to detonate. with two more pins each added to his hands (and two more to each of his feet), Chrollo's made to float with Illumi's Manipulation

(hc power here bc i think he could do this, but he only saves it for special occasions or enemies lol)

Illumi pulls forth a mind control needle amd jams it into Chrollo’s forehead, “answer my questions, and answer me truthfully"

"what did you do to Hisoka, you could not have killed him in that short amount of time. I should have been able to sense something if you did. he is not in this room, so where is he?"

Chrollo groans, "he's trapped in the room i laid out for him"

"explain."

"i stole some random passenger's teleportation ability. its' condition is to only be able to open a portal if the room's closed and only has one door. i opened the portal and left him in the in between."

"you have been planning this, correct?"

"i only came up with it when Shizuku encountered the man with this power. he's still alive of course, but if i kill him then his nen portals would cease, and Hisoka will be trapped in that limbo forever."

"and nen after death..?"

"he adores the spiders, he surely won't hold a grudge if i killed him for this."

"this is a well executed plan." Illumi complements despite the situation

"thanks."

"open the portal, bring him back."

"why should i?"

Illumi grabs another pin from his shirt, this time giving it a lick before jamming it into Chrollo's arm

"i am already annoyed at how everything has turned out, just pull Hisoka out of the portal."

life slowly drains from Chrollo's eyes, as he goes limp against Illumi's pins that kept him afloat and away from any possible detonation medium

Chrollo-puppet, now on his own two feet, pulls out his book and flips to a page. The wall behind him opens, the metal folding out as if crumpled then Hisoka walks out, in shock. The wall closes silently, as if it never opened to begin with

Hisoka snaps out of it quickly, lips curving into a pleased smile, "nice work, Illu!"

Illumi waves a hand dismissively. "would you like to do the honors?"

"ooh~ don't mind if i do," Hisoka pulls out a card from somewhere and approaches the still Chrollo.

Illumi walks to a wall to lean against it, knowing Hisoka would take his time.

"you've married an idiot, Illumi Zoldyck." a voice said beside him, and he snaps his head up to see Hisoka's killing slash

"wait-"

But it was too late

another explosion, this time strong enough to blow the doors open and the walls broken

Illumi's once again pushed to the wall, back through the metal it poked him with blisters

As the dust settled for a third time, Chrollo stood in the middle of the room, unharmed and unpinned.

Under his foot, Hisoka. Dead?

"no-" Illumi coughs, dust filling his lungs

Illumi stumbles to the pair as Chrollo backs away, to the door now open

"Hisoka-" he falls to his knees beside the man, cradles the head to his lap. This was real, this was really Hisoka. he felt it- he felt the last ebbs of his presence fade along with the explosion.

He was really dead...

Was his Bungee Gum/after death nen a one time thing?

He was so stupid, he should have noticed that Chrollo was a fake. It had been too easy. Fuck.

Hisoka coughs, and Illumi zeroes in on it, on the way his once steady chest heaves with labored breaths. "Hiso- Hisoka?"

"Illu..." he drawls, unable to say it clearly

"what do i do?"

"ta... take m-" he coughs again, "take my heart, Illu."

"what do you mean?" Illumi presses a hand to the side of Hisoka's neck, trying to find a pulse

"this is my nen condition-" heave- "Bungee gum will help me get the engagement ring to you. it's in my heart, literally-"

"Hisoka, you are not making any sense-"

"just kill me already, illu-" cough- "and carve out my heart. you'll find the ring there."

"o-oh" Illumi's eyes widen

"do it, illu. before my-" heave again "nen runs out."

Hisoka's smiling. his glamour of texture surprise has worn off already, so his nose-less, peeling face stared back at Illumi

"go on, love."

with no other choice, Illumi elongates his nails and digs into the crevice between Hisoka's rib cage. his blood felt hot and sticky between his fingers, but Illumi dug deeper.

his heart was still beating though weakly, as if it still had a chance to live on

"bye, love." were Hisoka's last breathy words as Illumi pulls the organ out. It was shrouded in pink nen, Bungee Gum he thought, its distinct tint a permanent brand in Illumi's mind

gore slid down his hand, as illumi held it closer to his face for inspection

for a few fleeting moments it continued throbbing, but now it's stilled to a mere heart.

Illumi has done this method of killing before, but this is the first heart he thought held value

blood dripped from his hand down to Hisoka's smiling face, eyes open and gaze somewhere to Illumi's direction

as the Bungee Gum lifted, a ring popped out from an outward ventricle.

a bloody ring

how did he manage to do this?

despite the crimson, Illumi slips it to his ring finger with a grim smile

even after death, Hisoka still amazed him

He gently puts Hisoka's head to the ground, off his lap, and closes his golden eyes

Illumi's en grows with unbridled rage that it covered the whole ship. Chrollo is just a few hallways down

Bloodlust up in new heights, Illumi lets his presence explode, making sure nen and non nen users alike felt his hunger to kill

Finding Chrollo was too easy, but this time he's sure it was the real one. he was at the balcony, looking out into the sunset.

"i take it, you loved him?"

Illumi doesn't answer, instead walks closer with eery silence

"if you loved him then why didn't you tell him?"

one step forward, two, three. just a few more left.

"he wouldn't have reciprocated? blah, he was of peculiar taste, I'm sure he would've accepted you."

pins, needles, hell even a card he got from Hisoka. he threw all of it to Chrollo, aiming for where he was and the surrounding spots he could have gone to, to avoid them

pinned down and bleeding, Chrollo continues "or were you not aware you loved him until you saw him die right before your eyes?"

Illumi, more than once, said that assassins don't need friends. didn't have a need for anyone else but family.

but

"he was my friend. that's all there was to it."

Chrollo's head rolls to the balcony, falls off and to the sea. a king of hearts was placed where the head should be, engraved into the floor.

later that day, Illumi went back to the room where Hisoka was, to find Kalluto there. His kimono was bunched up by his hands to make sure blood didn't touch the ends.

"aniki, what happened here? where's danchou?"

"kallu, i want you to help me with something." Illumi said instead, "can you help me clean him up?"

"should we throw him overboard?" Kalluto gestured to Hisoka.

"no, i want to fix him up and find a coffin in this ship. i will bury him when we get back to the mainland."

"why?"

"because..." Illumi fiddled with the bloodied ring, "he was my husband."

for those of u confused don't worry, i am too. basically chrollo used a bomb dummy of himself and that’s the one hisoka killed but uh got him killed instead. shjsjfkf sorry if this was shitty it's 2:30am nd i just wanted to write this before i forgot. I'll fix it tomorrow hopefully

also the hc is the ring in hisokas heart thingey and maybe the room trap plan bc togashi wouldnt have introduced that bitch if he didnt plan on using him for the plot shjsjdkfkgl good night!

A Super Soft Rant About Shizuku Tokikaze From Akiba’s Trip

there’s only a handful of characters where just looking at them makes me all

And this sad adorable precious little gem right here is one of them

like ffs i have an actual problem i love her way too much

Who is Shizuku Tokikaze? I’m glad you asked, absolutely nobody considering there literally isn’t an actual fandom for this game!

Shizuku both a Nighteater (a mythical being) and is one of the handful of girls in Akiba’s Trip the MC, Nanashi, can romance. Shizuku is the very first girl the player meets, said meeting being her saving your ass, you saving her ass in return but also getting yourself badly hurt, and Shizuku, in order to save your ass once more, turns you into her familiar by kissing Nanashi. How’s that for an introduction? And no, my love for her has nothing to do with the intro whatsoever. 

I’m not gonna bore you with more lore bits and am just gonna go into why I love Shizuku so much

For one, her voice is just so calming and nice to listen to, her voice is always soft and even, and it’s very apparent that she’s trying to keep her emotions hidden but despite her neutral tone she still emotes quite frequently and it’s easy to tell what she’s feeling. There is however one point in the game where she COMPLETELY breaks the neutral tone and it’s one of my favorite things ever because HOLY CRUD A SNEAK PEEK AT HER ‘NORMAL’ VOICE and it’s also so freaking funny, her voice starts out the normal calm tone like ‘Your timing is perfect. Also... *embarrassed screaming*’

Personality wise, oh my god she’s just so great I love her so m- aaaand im rambling again. At the start of the game she’s used to being alone and is quiet and reserved and almost stand-offish, but as the game progresses she starts getting used to being around people and learns to love Akihabara, saying the city itself feels like it’s alive with just how many people bustle about, happy to go about their days and lives.

Theeeen she’s asked to join two of the other girls in a cosplay contest and have everyone sit down to watch the entire series they’re going to be cosplaying and as the first few episodes go by Tohko (one of the other girls) is getting tired of watching it and asks if they can stop, specifically asking Shizuku if she’s tired of it yet, thinking she’ll agree since she’s all quiet and standoff-ish but then Shizuku quietly says she finds it interesting which is enough for Nana (Nanashi’s sister) to start it up again and after the 4+ hours it takes them to watch it all Tohko is exhausted and groaning and soo upset and meanwhile over here Shizuku has been moved to tears by this anime and asks if she’s worthy to cosplay her favorite character. Yep you guessed it Shizuku loves anime now. She goes out later on to buy a figure of her favorite character with Nanashi helping her navigate the best otaku shopping spots and they find it and she’s so genuinely happy and full of wonder me super happy. 

She’s like a little kid discovering their favorite thing?? She lived in a rural area so she’s never seen anything like this before and now she has and she fell in love with it?? She’s so excited and happy about it?? I love her so much??

But that’s all just cute positive traits, what could possibly make me almost unhealthily attached to this girl?

Well you know how I love her to bits? She feels the exact opposite. Shizuku, under her neutral tone and love of anime, is an incredibly self-loathing individual. This is for many reasons, because she couldn’t stop the monsters on her own, because her little sister ran away after leaving 50 pages of pure hatred explaining how much she hated her and how she never wanted to see her again, because she turned Nanashi inhuman like her to save his life and he can never go out fully into sunlight again, and because of a dozen other things that also aren’t even remotely her fault. 

I spent the whole game feeling so much love and sadness over this girl because she spent the whole game discrediting and self deprecating herself no matter how many times her friends/family told her she was worth it, that she was so much better than what she gave herself credit for.

And in the end of her route when she’s about to head back to her home despite desperately wanting to stay, when she says she doesn’t deserve to stay because of what she did to Nanashi, he shuts that down immediately. He tells her that doesn’t matter, and...

Shizuku finally gets it through her head that the people around her genuinely care about her, that it’s okay to stay in Akihabara, that there are people who are going to love and support her no matter what. This scene made me start crying because while it’s going to take time for Shizuku to unlearn the unhealthy habits and attitudes towards herself she’s adopted, she’s going to be okay. She’s going to be loved and supported the whole way and it made me cry because that’s what I had been wanting for her the whole game and it actually happened.

So yeah, Shizuku x Happiness is my OTP for life thank you for coming to my ted talk

[edwxrdkenway]

Anime Recommendations part 2

guess who’s back for more anime recommendations. some asked for more so here I am. part 1 can be found here btw if you’re new

Note that I only listed underrated or forgotten animes that I watched and enjoyed every minute of it and you may be too

91 Days

Lets start with some heavy stuff y'all

91 Days is set during the Prohibition era and tells the story of the protagonist Angelo.

As a child Angelo has witnessed the death of his family who all have been slaughtered by a mafia family. Losing everything he holds dear, he leaves both his name and hometown behind, adopting the new identity of Avilio Bruno. Years later he finally has his chance for revenge when he receives a mysterious letter prompting him to return to his home town and to kill all who are at fault for the tragedy of his family.

(idk I thought that this one is famous but turned out that only a few watched it?? that one is so good idk ??)

Zankyou no Terror/Terror in Resonance

(Idk why people thing this is underrated?? That one watched almost everyone when it aired??)

This one is also a heavy anime so be prepared. (I’m not joking be prepared)

Tokyo has been hit by a terrorist attack that has devastated the city and The only evidence of the culprits is a cryptic video uploaded to the Internet. Unbeknownst to the authorities is that the terrorist masterminds are two teenaged boys: Nine and Twelve who should not even exist. Their plan: to "wake up the world" with their heinous plans of destruction, with their fingers on the trigger.

btw im not pluffing their names are nine, twelve and one is even called five

Death Parade

Imagine that after death, there is no heaven or hell, only a bar. 

Yeah you read right a bar. A bar that stands between reincarnation and oblivion. There, Decim will challenge the deceased to a random game in which his/her/they fate of either ascending into reincarnation or falling into the void will be wagered. Whether it's bowling, darts, air hockey you name it, each person's true nature will be revealed in a ghastly parade of death and memories, dancing to the whims of the bar's master. Welcome to Quindecim my friend.

(BTW do not be fooled by the opening if you decided to watch this, I warned you)

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun/My Little Monster

Ok here some light stuff ^^ Tnkk is a shoujo and one of my fav shoujo tbh.

Shizuku Mizutani, (who kinda looks like Maka from Soul Eater somehow) is only caring about her grades but her cold view of life begins to change when she meets Haru Yoshida, a troublemaker. Sounds like those typical story lines but behold. He’s not much different from her. He also understands little about human nature and does not have any friends. Much to her surprise, he proclaims that she will be his friend and immediately confesses his feelings towards her upon meeting her. 

This one is very funny and not that cliché shoujo you would expect and I binge watched it in a day and would recommend 11/10 bc Haru is a precious cinnamon roll who should be protected at all costs

I mean just look at him-

Psycho Pass

Another heavy one (I think I have another type lol). 

This anime is set in the 22nd century where the Sibyl System, a very powerful network of psychometric scanners, actively measures the minds and mentalities of civilised populations. With other words if you are a bad person you do not go to jail, nah you will be eliminated.

Into this world steps our main heroine Akane Tsunemori. However, as she works alongside bae I mean Shinya Kougami, she soon learns that the Sibyl System's judgments are not as perfect as her fellow Inspectors assume. 

This got 2 seasons and a movie and let me tell you you better watch this because this one will get you hooked !!

Tokyo Ravens

Romance? Check. Magic? Check. Mystery? Check.  Very underrated? Double Check.

Onmyodou magic was once a powerful technique which was used by the Japanese during World War II. Later, infamous onmyoji Yakou Tsuchimikado performed a ritual, which goes horribly wrong and the result of this becomes what is now known as the "Great Spiritual Disaster", an incident which haunts the entire Japanese continent to date. 

Our boy Harutora, who is a member of the Tsuchimikado's branch family once promise Natsume, the heir of the Tsuchimikado's main family and Yakou’s reincarnation, to protect her as her familiar. However, turned out Harutora has no talent for magic and chooses to live a normal life instead. But when a prominent member of the Onmyou Agency attempts to recreate the same experiment which led to Japan's downfall, he decides to make good on his word and fight by Natsume's side.

Your lie in April/Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

Here I introduce you to a masterpiece that will ruin you. Like literally ruin you. I'm not even exaggerating, I told my best friend to watch this and she did not talk to me for 2 days.

Our boy Kousei Arima was strictly taught how to play the piano and meticulously follow the score by his mother, to the point where he dominated every competition he entered with ease and he became one of the best piano players. However, after his mother suddenly dies everything went downhill and had to quit the music industry. 

Two years later, Kousei lives a monotonous life with his childhood friends supporting him. But he still  continues to cling to music, although performing is still an impossibility for him. This is until his unexpected encounter with our girl Kaori Miyazono, a violinist who performs freely without the dictations of a score. A story of friendship, love, music, and a single lie, Kousei's life begins to change and gain color as Kaori helps him to take up music again.

(note: if you decide to watch this pls do not hate me)

Boku dake ga Inai Machi/Erased

Another dark one nice. Our protagonist Satoru Fujinuma has a special gift. He finds himself sent back several minutes before an accident occurs. He has taken advantage of this mysterious phenomenon to save many lives. 

However, when he is wrongfully accused of murdering someone close to him, he is sent back to the past once again but 18 years in the past. Soon, he realizes that the murder may be connected to the abduction and killing of one of his classmates Kayo Hinazuki, that took place when he was a child and he tries to prevent the death of his classmate while protecting those he cares about in the present.

Idk why I decided to watch this but let me tell ya my poor heart was not ready while watching this. I recommend this 11/10.

Kyoukai no Kanata/Beyond the Boundary

ok so pls drop everything what your doing and go watch this if you didn’t. pls do yourself a favor.

KNK is about Mirai who is the sole survivor of a clan of Spirit World warriors with the power to employ their blood as weapons. Yeah you read right blood is their weapon. As such, Mirai is tasked with hunting down and killing creatures called youmu, who are basically manifestations of negative human emotions. One day,  Mirai comes across Akihito Kanbara, a rare half-breed of youmu in human form. In a panicked state, she plunges her blood saber into him only to realize that he's an immortal being. From then on, the two form an impromptu friendship that revolves around Mirai constantly trying to kill Akihito, in an effort to boost her own wavering confidence as a Spirit World warrior. 

I’m not biased I swear but this anime is so aesthetically pleasing im livin-

Ok so thats it. Like last time I did not include popular anime series that like 99% of us watch/ed like boku no hero academia/my hero academia, tokyo ghoul, gintama, satsuriko no tenshi/angels of death, cells at work, black clover etc.

[docholligay]

shizunana and harumichi double date? how do you think that'd go

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MAGICAL GIRL RAISING PROJECT

I’m just imagining, after all of their respective deaths,(For illustrative purposes, let’s assume Haruka and Michiru’s deaths in Starsstick) they all end up in Magical Girl Afterlife together, and of course theyend up on the lesbian double date, because, well, it’s nice to go out with acouple somewhat like yourself, or it could be, Michiru thinks.

Anyway Shizuku and Haruka size each other up for a minute,like two dogs sniffing each other’s butts, and then, also like two dogs, decidethat they are best friends forever and ever and are going to combine tiecollections. Haruka listens raptly to Shizuku’s retelling of her death, whichis an interesting way to start a friendship, but it is Magical Girl Afterlifeafter all. Nana is sitting there, crying silently and murmuring how brave shewas, and is, and Haruka’s like, “THEY STABBED YOU IN THE SIDE AND YOU SMILEDAND DECIDED TO KILL EM ALL THAT IS RAD AS HELL SHIZUKU WAY TO PROTECT YOUR LADY.”Haruka feels, in her heart, a touch embarrassed that she didn’t do somethinglike that, that she needed MIchiru to come with her or she couldn’t do it, thatNana may be Shizuku’s literal strength but Michiru is Haruka’s nerve. But shedoesn’t say anything, just thinks about ways to make her sound less wussy thanshe feels when she tells her own story. She’s not sure she wants to tell it,she thinks, picturing Hotaru and Pluto’s faces. Maybe she won’t.

The only one RATHER unimpressed by the story is MIchiru, notbecause Shizuku wasn’t brave—she was, and there’s something to be said forthat, although when one is already going to die it certainly cuts down ondebate—but she can’t stop looking at Nana, and as much as she wants to shut offthat petty and small part of her brain, she can’t. Maybe she needn’t have died, if you had been stronger. If you couldhave protected yourself, she would not have made the mistake. She bled to death,surrounded by enemies, as you cried on a dirt road. I’m meant to respect that?Oh, I suppose I understand well enough the impulse to kill yourself, if the oneyou love is gone from this world, but if I had made such a choice, you may beassured that I would make EVERY MOTHERFUCKER RESPONSIBLE pay their debt to mebefore I took a sharp drop and a sudden stop.

“Michi?” There’s a soft touch on her leg. “Are you okay? Youwere staring off into space.”

“Oh yes, I apologize.” She waves her hand. “It’s a difficulttale to hear, and I suppose I was being somewhat self protective.”

Nana is soft, and Nana is gentle, and even a bit naïve, butshe’s not an idiot, and she knows Michiru disapproves of her, and when she asksMichiru’s old teammates, the half joking response seems to be, “She disapprovesof everyone,” but she knows there’s something deeper behind it, more real thanMichiru’s graceful nobility that turns her nose up just a touch. It’s a true dismissal.

Their story, when Michiru told it, was brief andstraightforward while being utterly concealing, something that Nana would cometo see as a Michiru specialty. They died side by side, attempting to protecttheir princess. Their souls were forcibly removed from their bodies. It wasunpleasant. The part of the story where Haruka pulled herself to Michiru waslonger, and more detailed, with warmth, and was told, Nana perhaps thought, asmuch for Haruka as anyone else.

She finally lights on what Michiru must know, why Michirumust judge her.

She comes to Michiru, already crying, she doesn’t want to becrying but she’s simply built that way, and she confesses.

“I’m the reason Shizuku died,” She jokes out a sob, “Iwanted her to be a magical girl. I wanted her to be with me, and so I trickedher into it. I love her, and I hurt her, but I didn’t want to be alone.”

Michiru gives a long pause, her mouth open just slightly in avery un-Michiru like way. If you had known her very well, you would have seenher tense, just slightly.

“I can’t imagine how difficult that must be,” she smoothsher hair, “I’m certain she’ll forgive you.” She tells herself as much as Nana.

“Oh,” Nana wipes her nose, “she doesn’t see it that way, shethinks I’m being silly.”

“She knows.” It’s not a question, just a fact, but in thelight of it, Michiru’s high ground begins to tremble. I was so young, and so selfish. I am not the girl who determined shewould find a way to bind Haruka to her delight. I did not love her then, not inthe real way, and I did not know what it would feel like, to love someone sointensely.

Nana nods. “Of course she does. I just didn’t know whatbeing a magical girl would really be like.” She sniffed. “I just wanted us tobe together.”

“Oh.” Is all MIchiru says.
