#also a funny thing about having scheduled posts is some people will dedicate it in their heads

[aimportantsheep]

Some fun headcanons for Klaus, Porsha, Nooshy, and (since he’s my favorite) even more about Darius!

Klaus Kickenklober:

Perfectionist Tendencies:

Klaus has an immaculate routine—everything from his diet to his exercise schedule is planned down to the minute. If something disrupts it, he becomes hilariously irritable.

He spends hours perfecting his choreography but will never admit how much effort it takes. He’d rather people think it comes naturally.

Hidden Passion:

Secretly a fan of vintage musicals but acts like they’re “beneath him.”

Loves tea more than coffee, but drinks coffee in public because it feels more "refined."

Unintentionally Funny:

Klaus’s bluntness often makes people laugh, though he never means to be funny. He’ll say something completely serious, and everyone will assume it’s a joke.

He’s bad with modern slang. Nooshy once said “slay,” and he thought she was being literal.

Porsha Crystal

Social Media Queen (obviously):

Porsha has a massive following online and posts daily updates about her outfits, rehearsals, and random thoughts. Her fans adore her chaotic energy.

Unpredictable Talent:

She’s surprisingly good at skateboarding. Nooshy taught her a few tricks, and now she insists on bringing her board everywhere.

Can do makeup perfectly in under five minutes, no mirror required.

Heart of Gold:

Despite her spoiled upbringing, Porsha genuinely cares about her friends and will defend them with her whole heart.

She’s the first to cheer someone up when they’re down, often with wildly over-the-top ideas like throwing a surprise party.

Quirky Interests:

Loves conspiracy theories and has a whole notebook dedicated to researching them. She swears aliens are real.

Collects novelty mugs and insists on drinking her coffee from a different one each day.

Nooshy:

Street Smart:

Knows every shortcut and hidden gem in the city. If you’re lost, Nooshy is your go-to guide.

She’s amazing at bargaining and can talk her way into getting almost anything for free.

Loyal Friend:

She has a protective streak, especially with the younger cast members. If someone messes with them, she’ll show up ready to throw hands.

Hobby Enthusiast:

Has a surprisingly good singing voice but keeps it to herself, claiming it’s “not her thing.”

Even More Darius Headcanons!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🥹🙏

Center of Attention:

If Darius walks into a room and no one notices, he’ll “accidentally” drop something or hum loudly to make sure they do.

He tries to act unfazed when he’s complimented but secretly thrives on the praise.

Artistic Side:

Loves sketching but is terrible at it. He’ll show Louisa (My oc) his attempts, and she’ll have to stifle a laugh while complimenting his "abstract" style.

Writes overly dramatic song lyrics in his downtime, but most of them never see the light of day.

Surprisingly Messy:

His home is the perfect mix of luxury and chaos. Expensive furniture? Yes. Clothes and scripts strewn everywhere? Also yes.

He has an organization system that makes sense only to him, like keeping his socks in the kitchen drawer because it’s “convenient.”

Hilarious Vulnerabilities:

Gets grumpy when people don’t laugh at his jokes, even though they’re sometimes awful.

Dynamic with Louisa:

🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

He’d be the type to tease Louisa constantly, but the moment someone else does it, he’d shut them down with an intense glare.

If Louisa’s ever upset, he’ll do anything to make her smile, even if it means embarrassing himself.

!! life update and face reveal incoming !!

we're doing a bullet point system!

had my very first one night stand. honestly? less than stellar! but I did it! the guy was kind of a loser, but we all have our things. he did like literally SLAP my tits so hard that I have massive bruises there now and I feel like that was a weird move bc we'd known each other for a grand total of about 10 minutes when we started having sex? anyway, it was insane having sex with like a stranger....don't know if I'd do it again, but you live and you learn!

overwhelmed with tinder honestly....I have over 1400 likes and I just......don't have it in me to do anything about them. but turns out I'm very good at flirting! and I'm also funny! was thinking about posting some screenshots of funny exchanges and labeling which ones are which member of the Dagger Squad! heh!

randomly matched with my ex (the one I was with from 14-17) on tinder and then we started talking and then we just........didn't stop? and like every single night since we started talking again, we've stayed up until 4am talking. what has shocked me the most is that we're getting along better now than we ever have before? and not to mention, he has like actually really apologized about things. not even just a blanket apology either--like a thorough one where he detailed things he did and told me that he was sorry.

he manages a movie theater so the first time we hung out, he took me to the empty theater (like we were the only two in the building) at like 10PM and we watched the new Evil Dead: Rise. and then the next night we parked at the lake from like 10PM-5AM and just....talked. for hours. about everything and nothing. it was insane! and then the next day, he picked me up for coffee and I met his puppy. we've been texting nonstop since. also he's literally taking me to the theater AGAIN to watch Top Gun: Maverick all by ourselves 😭

so in conclusion....I wanna fuck him. and maybe I'm catching feelings. BUT my sister and I are both very co-dependent people with have attachment issues (but at least we're self-aware) so I've decided to adopt her three month rule. so like, I have to talk to my ex for three months before I decide if I'm going to be in a relationship with him. not that it's going to happen or not but...you know!

the only thing is that I WISH I had more time to sit tf down and write! but I have a really busy weekend! I am so excited that I have so many asks to go through! and on that subject, if you sent me a birthday ask---I just fucking adore you! and KNOW that I saw it and KNOW that it made me giggle and kick my feet! however, I don't want to bombard all my followers with answering like 30 birthday wishes a few days late! BUT I LOVE THAT ALL OF YOU SENT THEM AND I WANNA KISS EVERYONE!

so today, I will be writing a bunch of requests and queuing them! I'm trying to get at least TWO posted today! looks like the next week or two will be dedicated to blurbs! but I can't wait to get back into my regularly scheduled posting! hoping to get that schedule out too!!

I'm really happy right now :)

okay here's my face reveal

be nice to me I'm fragile

[joyswonderland1108]

Seriously Army?

So she's back home and she's ready to rant and give answers and let you rant with me cause what on earth?

Okay So Jimin had a schedule in Budapest, he left on the 16th which got fuckers panties in a twist because why oh why would Jimin go to the same country JK went to? Didn't you know Budapest is exclusive to JK and JK only? But fear not, a few hours later they were celebrating again because "Jimin will be away for GOLDEN Live on stage" Uhm okay.

Comes the 18th and Jimin is going back home, guess what?

Right.. Because how fucking dare Jimin goes back to his HOME COUNTRY WHERE HIS PLACE IS, HOW DARE HE? THAT VIXEN!! But yeah gotta love the dedication in manifesting Jimin's presence in JK's GOLDEN Live in stage performance. Anygays..

Damn if you do, damn if you don't. So they're unhappy that Jimin went to Budapest but they're also unhappy that he's going back home.. Exactly how do you make these people happy? We don't know, actually we do they absolutely despise Jimin's existence and the ideal for them is him staying 7 countries away from JK..

MOVING ON, comes d-day of the performance, Joon is there, absolutely adorable, in his whole hotness and cuteness, then someone mentions that apparently according to K-army Jimin was there, well.. False alarm that of course got deleted later (rightfully so) when they got the correct information. But that was enough to rile up that cult which led to this

(Stole this from jikookreports)

All that from a false alarm too, they didn't even wait for it to be confirmed or anything just the mention of Jimin there was enough to have them foaming at the mouth. Which then was followed by this

(Stole this from Keira on Twt)

Which ended up being complete bullshit but of course Army hyped it up took it as a fact despite it being unverified news and despite the fact that k-media has been bullshitting on many things before but before i continue.. Notice how none of Joon or Tae's presence in JK's event seem to bother people? Like yes, them being there means they love their maknae, their baby star candy and want to support him but Jimin being there means he's a leech and can't stay home for once. Lovely.

Moving on and this is the cherry on top, this dumb ass, this wet sock, this lab rat, posted this

Now if the previous post wasn't enough of a lie this uncultured twat decided to make up a whole ass au out of that previous lie and of fucking course 12.4K (now probably more) of "smart" Army ate that shit up.

Mind you this post is still up and OP thought it was funny to keep it up and add this

So not only homeboy Tae was busy today, as seen here

Joon also mentioned that other members, which logically would be Vmin, have a shoot today, which means both weren't there. But this motherfucker was proud about spreading misinformation DURING THE LIVE not even after but decided it was a good idea to post some bullshit before even the live ended so basically disrupting people's attention and creating some whack ass drama instead of focusing on the performance that JK worked hard for.

Now if you did watch the live you know that JK pointed to Joon and asked to give him the mic to give a lil speechy speech, so are you now insinuating that JK is a dick for not acknowledging Tae's presence and only acknowledging Joon? Literally nothing about that post is a cute joke, not the timing of it, not the obvious lie when my boy Tae wasn't even there, just.. How very inconsiderate do you have to be? If YOU don't care about the live then it's on YOU, keep your childishness to yourself and if you still wanna make sick jokes, out of respect, wait for that live to fucking end.

Some people are on the TL while watching the live to hopefully catch some live translations as those offered with the live can be a bit off for now, so having to scroll through your tl and then you come across this shit? I don't know why it is so normalized to hate on Jimin and to disrespect JK, exactly what did this fandom become? Is it that hard to appreciate these boys without creating so much drama, so much hate, so much chaos?

I'm seriously very disappointed, as always, in ARMY cause if that was coming from the cult only then it's nothing new but then again at this point, at this rate, is it even something new that ARMY are engaging in loads of fuckery? No.. Not at all really.

Grow the fuck up.

[myheadphonesareneverloudenough]

i’m making my own post about the LS Dunes twitter drama because i have a LOT of thoughts.

the hate that LS Dunes is receiving on twitter is some of the most unfair bullshit i’ve ever witnessed within this fandom. if you’re not like me and you keep away from toxic places like dunestwt, good for you, but you also might be unaware of some of the things this band is facing at the moment. let me break it down. a full history and my own take. (there’s an entire fucking essay after the cut) <3

the internet blew up when the AI scandal happened. people who had never even heard or cared about LS Dunes before suddenly had fully formed opinions and were flooding Dunes’ comment sections and Anthony Green’s DMs. when this happened, trust me when i tell you that NO ONE was on LS Dunes’ side entirely. even us who were and still are fully a part of the fandom were disappointed in them. it was a horrible idea, lacking research and insight. something they probably had to double down on due to contracts that made them release the video despite the backlash. but do you know what the fans did? we didn’t watch the video. that’s it. it’s that simple. however, there were some individuals who decided that an appropriate response was sending death threats to Anthony Green. i think i speak for all of us Dunes fans who say to that; fuck you. that is the lowest low anyone could’ve gone to and anyone who messaged him that, you should be ashamed of yourself.

when all of the sudden this cool new band that had a smaller fandom compared to that of MCR, Thursday, Circa, and Coheed, got shoved under a spotlight that opened the floor for apparently anyone to say whatever they wanted to the members of Dunes, fans of My Chem especially were now paying attention to Frank Iero, despite never having cared about his projects outside of MCR before. He was under a microscope, just waiting for him to say something about Anthony or about AI. When he finally was spotted active online, it was in the comment section of his friend's Instagram post. This is where the irrational anger and hatred began, when the screenshots were shared all over twitter and labeled Frank as antisemetic. something that would've been a harmless joke if Frank wasn't already in that AI spotlight, now it fans the flames.

after that, most of us moved on. the small community of angry people on twitter, however, did not. if you remember earlier this year, there was a group of people who decided that Frank Iero was "cheating" on MCR due to the fact that he plugged both the MCR Australian tour and the LS Dunes California show in the same instagram post. essentially, this only escalated. there are people on twitter who genuinely believe that Frank is single-handedly preventing the production of MCR's fifth studio album due to his dedication to LS Dunes. as if Dunes didn't function as a band that worked around the members' schedules, assuring that an LS Dunes tour never collided with the touring or recording of MCR, Thursday, Saosin, Coheed, etc. etc. do you actually, genuinely believe that Gerard, Ray, and Mikey are currently sitting in a recording studio in Los Angeles, just waiting for sweet sweet Frankie to stop touring and return to them in Cali so they can FINALLY record MCR5? obviously Gee, Ray, and Mikey have NOTHING else to do in their lives and Frank is totally just destroying everything by using his free time to make amazing music with LS Dunes.

LS Dunes is a band of 5 dorky dads who, guess what? already have money! they have bands that are HUGE in the scene. LS Dunes exists because Tucker, Tim, Anthony, Frank, and Travis LOVE doing it! so yes, sometimes the band pulls funny stunts because they can do whatever they want. like selling vip tickets for a fucking pizza party. there is literally nothing harmful about Dunes wanting to hang with a few of their fans who are willing to pay to eat pizza with them. if you go to twitter, this will be one of the many many things that people are angry about. why? because they have NOTHING else to be mad at. all they know is that they want to be angry at Dunes and to be angry at Frank because they don't have MCR5 yet. however, when they can't find anything to be mad about, i guess it means we can be mad at pizza?

finally. the very recent video that is still circling. the video that was posted by one user and then immediately was thrown into a completely different context than anyone had intended in the first place. the video in question is LS Dunes on tour with PTV, between songs on their set with Anthony chatting up the audience. now, i'm not sure about y'all, but i would say that if Anthony in any way has seen the kind of shit people say about him on twitter, he would have every right to distance himself. i would say that for anyone. the internet is a horrific place where you can get attacked and insulted for pretty much anything. Anthony knows this, and he knows what kind of effect that can have on someone's mental health. believe it or not, Anthony cares about his fans and their mental health, too. so, as a word of advice, he told this particular crowd that it was okay to stop and take a break for a few days. it was okay to put a pause on constantly having to respond to anything and everything going on in the world. because if you don't take a break, you're hurting yourself. you will burn out. and no one wants that. Anthony doesn't want that. in the heat of a rockin LS Dunes set, Anthony tells his crowd "don't post political shit". lets be real, politics is one of the MOST emotionally draining things online.

now, what does the angry twitter mob say about Anthony advising people to take care of themselves? why, they make it out to seem like Anthony was spreading hate for real world tragedies and bluntly stating that he didn't give a shit about the state of the world!!!! because of COURSE thats what you got out of that!!!!!

it isn't JUST that Anthony and Dunes are getting unnecessary hate thrown at them, it's the gleeful attitude that people on twitter have when talking shit about this band. as if its okay. as if its justified and NORMAL to beat down musicians like this. (and it's not just twitter. i see the dunes haters on tumblr too. i see you. and i hope if you're reading this it means you'll take some time to re-evaluate). the main problem i run into with this attitude is that i have noticed that the people who complain on twitter are JUST on twitter, and they do not see the LOVE and the SUPPORT that Dunes has from their real fans. in their minds, EVERYONE thinks like them, so that must mean EVERYONE has decided to take a fat shit on LS Dunes. i just want them to zoom out. zoom out of your twitter circle and realize that there are real things to worry about than trying to make Anthony Green look like a villain.

if you feel the need to spread lies and hate about the members of LS Dunes, send threats or nasty messages to them and their families, and boo them off stage at the PTV tour, and yet you STILL have the audacity to consider yourself an MCR fan, take a look at yourself in the mirror. still don't see it? fine. you may not see where you're wrong, but i know Gerard, Ray, and Mikey would. you can't consider yourself an MCR fan and continue to shred apart the livelihood of 1/4 of the band.

you don't have to love LS Dunes. hell. you dont even have to LIKE LS Dunes. i would never shut you down when you share your opinions that LS Dunes' music isnt for you. the music you love/hate is for you and you only. what i WILL shut you down for is nonsensical hate against the PEOPLE who make the music.

my name is J, LS Dunes is my favourite band in the whole damn world. they saved my life, and Anthony Green continues to save my life every god damn day. clearly, i am passionate about it. if you read this far i am fucking amazed, but i hope you learned something. my asks are always open.

The Heart of a Hero is returning once more!

Today marks the 5-year anniversary of the premiere of HoaH, and is fairly close to the 3.5 year anniversary of its last official upload. Well, the wait is over. It’s time for me to resurrect this series and eventually bring it to its end (not that it left off anywhere close to ending 😉).

Since it’s been a while, I’ve put together a recap of the story so far that I’ll post at some point here. It’s not complete, I had to cut out some of the newer chapters since it just became a play-by-play synopsis that doubled the total word count, but hey, having to reread 5-10 chapters is better than rereading 150.

The tentative return date will be this time next month as I work on creating a backlog of chapters. If I need to push it back, I’ll let you know. As for other questions I’m sure some of you have, check below the cut. For those who don’t care, see you in a month, hopefully.

So, some questions I’m sure some of you are asking:

1: where have you been? And why did you stop?

I’m not gonna go into details since I’m not that kinda person, but overall, just been living life, dude. I originally began my unexpected hiatus when college was kicking my ass and expected to get right back to things, but some stuff happened, and by the time I had dealt with it, it was Spring of 2020. You can guess what stopped me up then lol. But yeah, things just got away from me and eventually, I didn’t have the time or energy to dedicate to diving headfirst back into this outside of unconnected one-off stuff like those Bang fics. There’s other facets too, of course, the biggest one being a general disinterest in the source material. I stopped reading MHA around the villains arc (though I’ve kept up a bit in terms of big stuff like the traitor reveal), so I lacked that interest to pull me back into this world. Where I left off in the story, in the middle of a complicated arc full of OCs and big fights and stuff, was also a hurdle to getting back into things. But I’m here now, I’m working on my backlog, and I’m gonna commit. If you guys are excited about my return, spread the word and lemme hear it so I can keep this motivation 🤟

2: Is A New Era coming back too?

And now for the other shoe to drop. It is not. Im very sorry, especially to those whose OCs I included, but it’s just not feasible. Every time I considered it or tried it, the whole return to the main story was stopped up with it. Anyone who’s interested in continuing it themselves in some way shape or form, you have my permission in terms of the general idea, the OC kids I came up with, the places that canon characters are in it, etc. As for other people’s OCs, I’d check with their creators. One again, very sorry, but it’s just not doable.

3: What will this return look like? How often are chapters gonna drop?

Still working out the specifics, but my idea for now is to drop 2 chapters a week. If I need to go on hiatus, I’ll announce as much and plan the placement of it much better so that I don’t stop in the middle of an arc. That way, the hiatus will only be a month instead of years lol. The schedule may change over time, but I’ll keep everyone informed as I move ahead with it

4: a lot has happened in the manga and anime and movies since you stopped. Will these things be worked into the series?

Nope. I stopped reading and probably won’t start again until it’s over and done with. More than that, I’ve been sitting on these plans for a couple years now and don’t feel like changing them much. Besides, this story has had a long, rich history of shitting in the soup of the canon story, so I’ll just continue doing my own thing

5: are you still as epic and cool and funny as in the past?

Don’t ask questions you already know the answers to. I never was 😎

[so-otterly-jaded]

Not sure how many of y'all are ready for this part of the conversation, but we need to start working towards eliminating money. Obviously it's going to take a long time, maybe longer than any of us alive now will live to see, but that's why it's actually super important for us to start the ball rolling. "So what will we use instead?" Who cares when we're still this far out? "How will we pay for things?" Ideally we just don't need to, because we're already in a position where a couple decades of dedicated work could set us up for being post scarcity, if handled appropriately by people that actually understand what they would be working with. "We have so many people who are homeless and starving, that doesn't sound even close." Yeah, we do, and we also have more than enough homes sitting empty and throw out tons of food for the sake of profits every year that could instead be distributed to the public. "Oh, so you trust the government?" Fuck no, because a bunch of fuck ass bitches put/kept a bunch of geriatric idiots in offices they have no business filling. If we got off our collective asses, rallied behind informed and empathetic people to get over the insane 5k hurdle to be considered a candidate for most major government offices, got people who care into local, state and federal positions, and *made a fucking government we can trust* then this wouldn't be an issue, now would it?

First step is pushing hard to get independent people without major donor support into local and state offices, then into Congress, then eventually the presidency. And yeah it's probably going to have to be in that order, and yes, we can actually have that done *within a decade* if we organize and get on it. What should they be pushing for, though? UBI, automation and long term sustainability in agriculture, construction, etc. jobs that actually stand to benefit from what automation is good at, which is generally anything that can be done on schedules and on repeat. If it can be completely standardized to the point that you only need someone to make sure things are running smoothly and everything is operating as intended, it can and should be automated.

"what about jobs" fuck jobs as we understand them. Right now everything is set up around the idea of everyone needing to work to live, and that's fucked up. Some people *cannot* work due to any range of disabilities, and plenty of people, *despite being disabled* can still "technically" work even if it is insanely demanding for them and actively deteriorates their mental and/or physical health. These people still deserve to live, and in the current set up, they're not treated that way. "What about the people who just don't Want To Work" fuck you, that's what. If you're willing to sacrifice those who Can't to keep those who simply Won't "where they belong" then you're wrong. If you're too focused on making sure that people follow your purity test to be deserving, then you're just plain wrong. "Survival of the fittest" is so far behind us now that if you still think like that, you're not contributing to a future worth living in. The entire point of making a society was to eventually reach a point where we can care for everyone equally and nobody has to go without.

Also, get rid of the nuclear family as a concept. That's a system of control. We're meant to be in communities that function like large families, where we can each pitch in and help with everything, make use of individual strengths to account for individual weaknesses. We didn't get the "it takes a community to raise a child" saying from nowhere. Just because we moved on from tribes doesn't mean they didn't have value, we just tried to increase their size and went a decidedly less than desirable direction at some point. We need to get back to community, and we need to get rid of money. It does nothing for us. Also it would just be insanely funny to watch all these people who have given up their humanity for it suddenly watch it fade like ashes in the wind and leave them with nothing to show for it.

Anyways, rant over, not leaving tags because this will find who it's supposed to. Also the app sucks and I accidentally tapped the poll thing again, so, uh...

CosplayMania 2024

I didn’t plan on going mainly because I don’t have money. Ever since my brother got annoyed that he didn’t know that Ollie would be in CosplayMania, I tend to just tell him about events that involve vtubers. This year, Hololive ID Anya Melfissa and Vestia Zeta, and Holostars EN Jurard T Rexford and Octavio are going to be guests.

I’m a huge fan of Holostars but I don’t have money so I didn’t really plan on anything. However my brother was interested and even offered to buy me tickets for the event. Who am I to say no? So I agreed to go with him.

The day before, I decided to go through artists’ twitter posts that will be participating in the artist gallery to see if there are interesting Holostars stuff. I saw a bag and sticker sets that are Holostars related. There are even official Holostars merch that are being sold. I saved them on my phone along with the map so I know where to go to buy them.

It was bro’s planned day off so we went on Day 1. There weren’t a lot of people, since Friday is still a school / work day. Event was scheduled to open at 10am but they opened late and we ended up going in around 11am.

Plan is to eat lunch after the Holostars event, so we walked around and bought stuff.

First order of business, get an Arurandeisu merch.

(Arurandeisu Holostars 3rd Anniversary merch)

We tried to go through every stall but we got distracted especially after seeing Fauna’s MILF hat. I also started to look for a store that would potentially sell Holostars stuff but I couldn’t find it.

1pm. When the hall was finally opened we just sat inside the event hall. Bro was not used to walking and standing for a long time. The Holostars panel would start at 2pm. It was cold and at some point we needed to go to the bathroom. I went first and it was uneventful. Bro went next and when he returned he discovered another event starting and a Tekken tourney that was about to start. In other words, he ended up not using his silver ticket and basically enjoyed the general activities.

The event has 3 sets of guests. The first one is Chiai Fujikawa, then Holostars EN and lastly kz(livetune).

While waiting, I already noticed Holostars fans coming in. There was even an Octavio standee and tarpaulin poster. But I didn’t have the courage to sit next to them. I have no idea who they are and for sure they have gathered online and are friends. So I sat there on the side of people that are fans of the musical guests. It was funny cause I think it was an unintentional coincidence.

(where I'm sitting...)

Chiai Fujikawa is a well known artist that has a lot of songs used in anime, one of which is さがしもの (Sagashimono / Looking for Something) ending theme song of Ossan Newbie Adventure.

Holostars EN is next! I actually planned to write down as many things that happened in the event. But I felt lonely more than anything. Like I said, I spotted Holostars fans and my brother left me. Their segment started with an introduction and a game. Pinoy Henyo is a well known game in South Elysium (‘pinoy’ is the casual term for Philippines citizen or Pilipino, and ‘henyo’ means genius in Filipino/Tagalog). Pinoy Henyo is a guessing game where one knows the word and the other can only ask questions answerable with yes, no and maybe. The first 4 rounds are played by Jurard and Octavio, then the last 4 are played together with the audience.

After that was the question and answer. I don’t remember all the questions, the first question has something to do with Jurard’s stones. There was a question about who they would save from, from what I think, drowning among Armis. The follow up is the same question but among Tempus. I don’t remember their answer among Armis but for Tempus, Octavio will save Bettel and Jurard will save Machina because Machina has the R-Trus. The other question is what OPM songs will they dedicate to Armis members and I don’t remember the answers. (2 weeks has passed as I write this part…)

As last treat, Jurard and Octavio sang a ‘love song(?)’ that I believe Octavio wrote for their love team, Jutai. We can’t take photos but there is an image in the music video that is burned in my brain that I attempted to recreate.

I was planning to leave after the Holostars segment but while the host was talking the Holostars and maybe Hololive fans got up and left. I felt bad for the last guest so I decided to sit there and try to get to know the last guest, kz(livetune). I don’t know what is up with the translator but he was saying so many things but she would translate less. Seriously felt bad for the dude, hopefully he blew everyone away during his set in JAM (Japanese Anime Music) Concert.

I left the venue and immediately looked for my brother. He said that while he was playing, in between, he would run to the event to see what was going on during the panel. He also guessed right why I didn’t leave after the Holostars panel. I wasn’t particularly hungry but its way past lunchtime. Bro wanted to eat at Botejyu hoping to see what is up with the Shingeki no Kyojin collaboration. But the digital directories were all unresponsive so we ended up eating at Dotonbori. We managed to sit in the tatami area. We had Katsudon and shared Matsuri Dango. Thank goodness those Dango were huge and eating half was satisfying enough.

We went back to the venue cause bro planned that we leave at 7pm so there wouldn’t be too many people in the bus terminal. So we walked around and I managed to buy a set of Holostars stickers. I think I’ll stop obsessing for a while when it comes to Holostars sets since not everyone is interested in Holostars JP (which is understandable because of the language).

(sold by _eun914 on Twitter / X [link: https://x.com/_eun914/status/1840732710689751299])

Bro wanted me to try and complete the treasure hunting relay thing. At the back of the event poster, there are a bunch of QR codes to be stamped. When you scan them, you’ll be directed to an event partner located all over the convention. Also in the QR is an anime question that you have to give the answer to in the event partner booth.

There were 10 spots and only one of them followed the instructions on the QR, it was Minute Burger. Everybody else either had us take a selfie or like their pages or had us pay something. The only treasure spot I didn’t mind going through was signing the booth.

(drawing left on the Cosplay Mania 2024 message board) (It won’t hurt to ask…)

The most annoying part of the treasure hunt was the customer service booth because they basically threatened us to answer a survey and sign up for the next event. All this trouble for a freakin’ keychain!!!

We didn’t manage to go through the whole artist gallery because bro was just tired (also he has been working from home so he is not used to walking and standing for a long period of time).

We went home and honestly after that pizza booth had us buy pizza to get a stamp, I was craving for some pizza. We bought food for mama and we ate pizza and spaghetti. I was hungry but not so hungry for a full meal. I ended up taking home the pizza.

Going home, despite having to stand in line for maybe 45 minutes, went smoothly. We got home around 9pm. Despite feeling tired and a bit lonely, I was happy to see Jurard and Octavio’s panel and the Holostars stuff I found at the convention.

I know this is that part that I should say, ‘I have to mingle more with the Holostars fandom’ but with my experience with fandoms, I’d rather not regardless of how wholesome and welcoming the Holostars community is.

Seriously though, I didn't expect to see Soulless Sanctuary. I remember audibly gasping when she introduced herself during the Pinoy Henyo part. lol If you find yourself here, you have no idea how tempted I am to sign a clue for the word lol.

anyway. youtuber OC AU

-mira would have a sakura-hime/magical girl manga/anime focused analysis and theory channel. all of her videos are like 3-4 hours long and involve corkboards. she posts on a very strict regular schedule. she WILL argue in the comments too. until masayume is made the comment moderator and she is RUTHLESS with blocking comments that even dare suggest her girl is wrong, lmao. masayume is well known as her mod and will usually leave very long comments of her own on mira's videos (she is also one of the first ppl to view each of them) that will get voted to the top (and theres always people replying like 'how are you so fast and also on ALL of her videos??' and other people being like 'lol hii mod masayume thanks for your hard work <3!!' she doesnt have a huge following, it's kind of niche, but there is a Small dedicated fanbase.

-persimmon's channel has an ungodly amount of subscribers, like well over 5 mil. she does GRWM/makeup stuff and storytimes + vlogs. shes got a very chill vibe while talking abt the most insane stories u can imagine. and then sometimes she'll upload a wildcard video like 'i made a wardrobe app then programmed my mirror to it so I can play dressup IRL before getting dressed' and people are like. are you an engineer too, what?? and she'll just drop the github code for the thing with easy instructions like nbd. all of her titles are lowercase and theres never clickbait even if they can sound like it 'the time i worked at a shady cafe with a dark secret in the basement'...

-aqua would have the vibe of very early poppy content. like kind of ominous artsy stuff that isnt very long or its just her filming tiny snippets of things she thinks are cool and posting with no description. she had no following until some rando found it, got confused, and posted to reddit, where a bunch of theories about it got started. people are convinced its some kind of ARG and are trying to solve it. theres nothing to solve, but aqua thinks its really cute and will make references to the ARG/fake hints because it seems like people are having fun?? shes not actually TRYING to be weird or mysterious about anything?? occasionally she'll cameo in persimmon's videos and people are like 'crossover of the century?? how do they know each other???'

-sapote would be someone who had a lot of controversies/problematic content in the past but since has mellowed out and just does random podcast guest appearances and has her own now that she posts to youtube only. she will have the most random guests on from both the mews and aliens side and talk about basically anything. a lot of people dont like her still but no one can really deny her content is very entertaining (trashy reality tv kind of funny) and she's gone viral several times. when people find out her and persimmon (who has a mostly positive rep) are related they lose their minds and persi ends up having to block all comments abt sapote on her videos. she's the type you'd think 'wow i used to watch them all the time as a kid, wonder what theyre doing now..' then when you check you're floored at how much she's calmed down!!

-queen has a science channel where she explains really difficult concepts in accessible ways, usually in bite-sized videos to make them even more digestible. arilla would keep her on a good schedule for posting (I do not think she would have a decent schedule on her own, he would basically be her channel manager) her videos would have a verrrry high production value. she would be a youtube darling whose praised for being unproblematic and helpful, until the internet goes CRAZY at some big scandal she does. if youre wondering what the scandal is you'll have to watch a like, 5 hour explanation video because its so convoluted and several other youtubers of other genres are involved?? she goes awol for like a month to lay low them comes back with a ukulele apology. it is very passive aggressive and never directly addresses what shes apologizing for, either

-cara would not be a youtuber. she's a tumblrina.

give me a sign

or: i want to believe!

gn!reader, no content warnings, nothing all too complicated. hello lovely!! so so SO glad to hear you enjoyed peaches and cream - i saw this post and thought it was such a cool concept, so i hope you don't mind me dipping my toes in the water 💕💕 it's not all that long, so i hope that's alright - and please please PLEASE never feel bad about tagging a writer if you enjoyed something they wrote!! believe me, it's the most wonderful feeling in the world, so thank you very much for letting me know 🫶🫶 dear (?) having a very unusual evening in just over 1250 words.

“Can I get you another drink, deviant?”

Something is very, very wrong.

The evening had been off to a lovely start. Lasko had invited you over to his apartment to meet his friends for the first time, and although you’d been a little nervous, you’d been mostly looking forward to it.

You’d seen Damien and Huxley before, but never properly met them. Huxley played for DAMN when he was a student, and you’d been to a few of the games he’d been in. Damien, meanwhile, you’d heard of as something of a staff legend among the professors - one of the most gifted and dedicated students ever to study at DAMN, but definitely not one you wanted to get on the wrong side of.

He’d almost taken one of your classes, but ended up switching to a different module before the semester started - something about a timetable clash, if you remember correctly. It’s a shame. You think you’d have quite enjoyed teaching him.

The other two, you hadn’t really known much about. The incubus, Gavin - for some reason, Lasko won’t tell you how he met him, but the impression you’ve always got from his stories is of a perfectly lovely sort of person. A bit of a menace, but a kind one, and never mean-spirited.

And then, the Freelancer. Lasko always speaks very highly of them, and it’s clear that he sees them as an incredibly close friend - they and Gavin are always inviting you and Lasko out on double dates, although work schedules mean that you’ve never been able to quite make it happen. They sound wonderful, in his stories, so sweet and funny and intelligent, and you’ve always wanted to meet them.

All four of them matter a lot to Lasko, which in your mind makes them all very important.

They’re also very strange.

When you’d arrived, Gavin was already there, relaxing on the sofa with a glass of orange juice. You’d both gone through all the usual pleasantries, and you’d quickly found yourself sucked into a very long and complicated conversation about various sorts of… soft drinks? It turns out that your initial impression was correct - he’s absolutely hilarious and utterly shameless, but backs off the minute you start to look a little unsure.

Damien and Huxley had turned up not long later, and it had been much the same - soon, you’d all been chatting away, before a faintly-dishevelled Lasko had stuck his head around the doorway, glasses all steamed up, and announced that the food was ready.

Dinner was a serve-yourself sort of affair, so you’d all been sitting around and eating in the living room when you’d realised.

Why didn’t we wait for Freelancer?

As you’d thought about it, you’d remembered a few other bizarre things that had been going on, but that you hadn’t really realised at the time. The way Damien keeps directing comments to the empty space in the middle of the sofa. The way Gavin leans to the side and whispers something with a smile, even though there’s nobody there. Huxley’s insistence on bringing five plates and five sets of cutlery in from the kitchen, even though there’s not five people in the room. The full glass of juice on the coffee table next to Gavin that nobody’s drinking from.

It’s unsettling. As Lasko heads into the kitchen to clean up, you offer to come and help with the dishes - you really should give him a hand, plus you’d rather ask about this where the others can’t hear you.

“Of course I - what do - of course I can use a microwave now!”

Just as you pull the kitchen door open, you hear Gavin say something very, very unusual.

“Isn’t that right, my love?”

The door swings shut behind you. Unless there’s something about Damien and Huxley’s relationship they’re not telling you, this isn’t good.

Lasko’s already standing at the sink, but you shoo him away with a kiss on the cheek and a tea towel shoved into his surprised hands.

“You cooked, so I’ll wash up.”

“Oh, you - you don’t have to!” he protests, but you’ve already got the water on. Defeated, he starts to dry up, and you smile at the flush across his cheeks that still hasn’t dissipated from your kiss.

“So?” you say. “Maybe I wanted to say thank you for a lovely dinner.”

He grimaces, and you know exactly what he’s going to say. “Well, it wasn’t that-”

“Yes, it was.” You cut him off before he can finish the sentence, absolutely refusing to have any part in it. “It was delicious, and the others thought so too, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Hm.” He doesn’t look convinced, but he doesn’t flat-out deny it, which is good.

“Are you alright?”

The question takes you a little by surprise. “Yeah. Why?”

Lasko shrugs, a little too nonchalant. “Just - just, you know. Wanted to make sure the others weren’t, uh - weren’t too much.”

Considering who you’re talking about, it’s a ridiculous question - they’re all absolutely delightful - but you’re touched that he’s asking.

“No, no - of course not!” you say, elbow deep in dishwater. He’s really got to get someone round to fix the damned dishwasher. “All three of them are great - I’m having a great time!”

You don’t look at him as you pick up another dish.

He looks at you strangely, hands stilling in the middle of drying up a glass. “Pardon?”

“I said, they’re great. I was just wondering when Freelancer’s going to get here.”

Okay, you’ve definitely said something he wasn't expecting now. Slowly, he turns the tap off, and turns you to face him.

“Dear, are you…” That look on his face - is he worried? “Are you sure you’re alright?”

For some reason, you have the strangest sense that there’s something wrong. “Of course I’m sure. Why?”

“Freelancer’s here.”

You blink. What?

“They’re - sorry, they’re what?”

“They’re already here,” he explains, like it’s blindingly obvious. “They’re right next to Gavin on the sofa, aren’t they?”

You shake your head slowly. “No…?”

“Oh, I get it. Very funny - of course they are.” He smiles, and if you weren’t so weirded out by this whole thing, you’d be struck by how handsome it makes him look.

“No, Lasko, there’s not-”

“No, no - I’m onto you!” he laughs, hand slipping into yours as he pulls you back towards the living room. “Which one of them - ooh, Huxley put you up to this, I bet!”

“None of them - Lasko, what’s happening?” You tug your hand away, staring at him in utter confusion. “They’re not there, so why does - why do you-”

A call from the living room. Damien’s voice? “Lasko! Come and settle this - Gavin says he - shut up, it is true! - he’s figured out how to work the immersion blender - get off!”

There’s a suspicious thump, like someone being unceremoniously pushed off the sofa, and Lasko turns to you. “I’d better-”

“Yeah.”

You smile, and you can tell that he doesn’t quite believe you. “I’ll just be a second.”

He nods, pushing the door open and rejoining the ruckus in the other room. You watch him go, before turning back to the washing up. It really does need doing, after all.

As the door swings shut, cutting off your view of the living room, something moves in the corner of your eye - your head snaps towards it, but by the time you’re looking, it’s already gone.

It’s funny. For a moment, you could have sworn you saw someone there.

Since I'm so nervous about tagging people, I'm not going to *Actually* tag the person

But you know that fic series thing that @/gingerbreadmonsters made where Freelancer died and Gavin basically broke tthe world to revive them?

Yeah. That got my brain spiraling (i love their writing so much I can't describe it)

The grieving process is hella complex and varies so much for each person. But one of the most common things is the brain recreating the deceased as a coping mechanism.

All I can think of is after the inversion none of the Damn group could really handle Freelancer being gone. Especially since they kind of brought everyone together.

They convinced Huxley and Lasko to get in touch again.

They enlightened Damien that he scared Lasko and he therefore adjusted how he interacted with Lasko to strengthen their friendship.

They organized that bowling episode and introduced everyone together.

So what if the group just mutually decided to continue on like Freelancer wasn't dead and survived?

Like, all the Aftershock were their brain conjuring FL so they could have someone to talk to. All the parties were them just pretending that Freelancer was still there, flirting with Gavin.

Caelum doesn't really know how to deal with the only human that could see him dying, that he just wants to pretend it didn't happen and is just a nightmare.

Dear keeps hearing so much about this Freelancer that they're so excited to meet them. But when they finally meet the squad, Freelancer isn't there.

"are they coming later?" Dear asks, turning to Lasko. He shakes his head and gestures to the empty spot next to Gavin.

"They're right there, Dear. Are you okay?"

Dear just doesn't know how to interact with that so they just don't say anything and go along with it.

do you have any advice/tips for posting art on tumblr for the first time?

I’m not new from twitter, I just don’t wanna fuck up somehow

really the two keys to posting art is 1. knowing how to use tags, and 2. having a dedicated art blog

tumblr only tracks the first 20 tags on a post, everything after that is Just For Funsies. tracked tags will show up in search, both for the whole website and on your blog.

if you're not sure what tags to use, see what other popular posters are using! i think i mentioned this in my tumblr guide post, but generally you want to tag fandom, characters, ships (if applicable), and any AUs or similar things. oh, and content warnings if those apply, too. then if you want you can try stuff like mediums and other general tags, that'd be your #art, #illustration, #fanart, #fanfic, #digital art, #(program you used), etc etc. you don't really have to use those, but if you want to keep your blog Super Extra Organized or if you're posting original content with no fandom tags to lean on then they are good options. (you can use things like #ocs, #original characters, #character design, #concept art, and genre tags for those!)

really tagging comes down to: if i wanted to find content like this post, what tags would I look in?

You want to have a dedicated art blog so you can keep your art front and center, if people have to dig to see your art or you post a lot of content they aren't familiar with aside from your art, they are less likely to stick around or follow you! this goes for all social medias really, not just tumblr. it's okay to make the occasional non-art related post, you don't have to completely separate art and artist here, but if you have an art blog you want it to be 95% things pertaining to your work. I have a main blog where I post everything that isn't my art, but occasionally I will reblog important things here or share other artists work because it's good that artists support each other :D

TL;DR - Get familiar with tumblr's tagging system and what the popular tags are for the types of artwork you want to post, and have a dedicated art blog! 💖

Bonus tip: Not everyone is online at the same time, and many people don't scroll to the bottom of their dashboards to catch up on every post they missed. You can schedule your posts so you post consistently at the same times, and you can schedule a reblog of your post later in the day. I for example will make all relevant art posts at 12PM CST, and I set the post to reblog at 8PM CST. The tumblr userbase is more active in the evenings, so if you don't post around that time it's definitely good to reblog things then!

[lord-of-the-ducks]

I’m so glad that people on tumblr are reading Dracula and making memes about it because I’ve been STARVED for Dracula memes for literal years. I have to scour the internet for groups specifically dedicated to the book (and not the god awful 1992 movie, I’ll rant about that another time though) and when I do find these groups and find memes, they’re usually really broad and frankly not very funny. Like, impact font “JONATHAN AT THE CASTLE BE LIKE” sort of thing. I laugh, because my standards are low and I’ve occasionally found some really funny stuff, but I had to actively search for this stuff.

Now hundreds of strangers on tumblr who are infinitely funnier than I am are making memes about Jonathan being a recipe blogger and no joke, I haven’t laughed this hard in years. I also feel like the biggest fucking nerd on the planet because as soon as I see a joke/meme that is specific enough that it shows that the OP actually read Dracula and knows what they’re talking about, I’m on the floor cackling so much that I can’t breathe. It’s like that one post about chefs going nuts for memes about working at a restaurant. . I’m taking so many screenshots just because I want to have more Dracula memes to show people.

Anyway, apologies for the incoming rant, but I vaguely heard that there was someone throwing a fit over people making Dracula memes and not treating the book seriously, and I’m not sure if that’s true or if it’s just a case of the internet being the internet, but let me make something VERY clear as someone who owns 13 books related to Dracula and even more about vampires in general, and has been doing research on Bram Stoker for pretty much my entire high school career, and will probably be doing so years into the future:

This book is fucking ridiculous.

I’ll talk later this month about why I’m so passionate about it (I already scheduled posts for days I think tumblr is going to go crazy) but anyone who tells you that Dracula is a serious gothic horror novel is lying through their teeth. It’s not. People didn’t start taking it seriously until after Bram Stoker died and the book started getting adaptations. Most of the people I’ve seen call Dracula a literary masterpiece don’t seem to actually have read Dracula, they’re just projecting all their feelings about the most well known monster in western fiction onto the book that created him.

I’ve definitely said this before, but if I accomplish anything in my life, I want it to be making classic literature more accessible. I’m the most anti-gatekeeping anyone could possibly be. But if I see any supposed Dracula veterans being pretentious about it, I am going to gatekeep the FUCK out of them because I firmly believe that anyone who has actually read the book should know that it is fucking ridiculous. I’ll be the first to tell you that this book has massive flaws, from the racism and misogyny and internalized homophobia, to the fact that there are just some bad writing choices like describing exactly how the protagonists found all 50 of Dracula’s boxes in way too much detail. Seriously, I was talking to my uncle a couple months back and he told me that he’s reading Dracula since I like it so much, and first thing I did was reassure him that *yes, that part of the book is boring as hell, it could have been a couple sentences, I promise it goes back to being cool*.

Don’t let ANYONE tell you that you’re enjoying this book wrong. I’ve been making some of the jokes about Jonathan having queer dreams from paprika and being the world’s biggest wife guy for years, and it warms my heart to see people who are also finding those things funny. Even if it’s not high brow or whatever, you’re still engaging with the text. And if you are having trouble understanding the 125 year old language, there is no shame in looking things up. There’s a sparknotes study guide with a summary for each chapter, along with character descriptions and analysis, and if you think that would help you, go for it! If you think an audiobook would help you, there’s a bunch of free ones on YouTube since Dracula is in the public domain, and I’m sure you could also find some on other platforms. There’s also an excellent summary done by Overly Sarcastic Productions over on YouTube, and while I do have a couple nitpicks, it’s really funny and engaging and FUN FACT! THE ENTIRE REASON I READ DRACULA WAS BECAUSE THAT VIDEO MADE ME WANT TO! I read this book for the first time already knowing what happens because it’s much easier for me to read older texts when I don’t need to worry about figuring out what the hell is going on!

(Side Note: I didn’t name myself after Red on purpose, but when I realized that I had given myself the same name as the youtuber who introduced me to my favorite book ever and made me fall in love with literature in general, it made my name so much more meaningful)

I know I’m not the only Dracula veteran who feels this way too. I’ve seen so many people who this book means a lot to expressing excitement at the fact that so many people are reading and genuinely enjoying it, and I’m sure if any of them saw someone being an asshole about it, they would not hesitate to drag them through the mud.

This post was longer than I expected, but I just wanted to express how much I love all the memes and that I’m going to unleash my full fury on anyone who has the audacity to suggest that it’s not the “correct” way to enjoy Dracula. Also, if it isn’t clear, I also have a lot of pent up rage at people who shame others who need audiobooks or study guides

Diluc

What? Diluc has a roommate? Did you blackmail him in living with you? Is that even possible? Did you throw yourself in front of his car because you needed someone to pay for your student loans and the easiest way was to file a lawsuit? In this economy no one would blame you. Diluc seems like such the self-isolated character that would murder his roommate in cold blood but in reality, he act’s detached from the world because he forgot how to socialize and he’s desperately trying to cover it up without choking. That or he’s trying to learn how to astral project. If he could drink away the pain he would but instead he buys 20 packs of grape Kool-Aid and injects it into his veins. 

Does not and will not ever have a normal sleeping schedule. You’ll wake up to him working, come back home to him working, and will sleep to him still working. His daily dose of Vitamin D is from the brightness of his screen rather than the sun and he’s filter feeding at this point. It’s concerning. He’s going to crumble and he’s bringing the world down with him. Through the power of tax evasion. But as soon as he needs to walk out into society, he pulls movie magic and looks like perfection. It’s both physically and mentally disgusting. 

He’s actually is a really nice roommate to have just so long as you give him space. Great cook and knows to clean up after himself. Though he does have crash and burn days where’s he’s completely out of commission. You could set the entire apartment on fire and he would sleep through it. The entire two weeks are dedicated to zombie eye marathons and then he’ll suddenly collapse and sleep for 46 hours straight. When he wakes up from his hibernation he’s the most groggy and nonsensical person. His life blood is coffee because you keep hiding the 5 hour energy away from him because, you know, life is enjoyable and those cancer bottles will actually kill him.  

“University sucks our money out of our bodies faster than our will to live.” 

Beidou [Happy Birthday Queen 💕]

Despite her appearance, she’s actually really strong and it scares the piss out of you when you’re doing something or scrolling through your phone mindlessly and you suddenly get your spine re-arranged when she slaps you on the back to ask what you’re doing. Likewise, when she hoists you up and throws you over her shoulder so you come with her on her 3am convivence store raids for alcohol. It’s either you change now or else we’re walking out of the apartment in your t-shirt and no pants self. She can and will carry you under her arm that way. It’s both incredibly attractive and horrifying at the same time. 

She’s really friendly and a great talker if you’re alright with her “I must hold you in my arms, fresh prince of bel air style”. It doesn’t matter if you’re taller than her, she’s doing it. She does however, get in a bit of trouble from her rowdiness and you often get noise complaints but Beidou just passes them off to Ningguang and everything is fixed. She has ovaries of steel when neighbors rather confront her personally and she’s ready to 1v1 in the parking lot. You’re trying to desperately hold onto her shirt to stop her from pile driving your neighbors for the third time this week but she’s too strong.  

She’s constant party until we die attitude and suffers the hangover in the morning. It’s actually really funny to catch her in her hangover moods because whatever filter Beidou had, which is none, is gone. She really takes “cursing like a sailor” or the next level and the amount of creativity she comes up with is actually impressive. She can be a bit messy but she’s really likeable and always down to go anywhere with you as long as you’ll do the same. It’s a very ride together, we die together situation. You’re my best friend, you’re dying with me. I’ll see you in hell. 

“Imma T pose over my dad and then crash the car into the parking garage.” 

Kaeya

Kaeya on the surface seems like such a chill roommate. And he is for the most part. But he’s such an ass. Your things are his things, no questions asked. If you just bought a really nice sweater or you had leftover food, that’s his now. He’s innocent until proven guilty even if he’s literally holding your lunch. The pure amount of bullshit he can spit out to convince you that no, he did not pull the fire alarm because he wanted an excuse for not going to work, puts him on Shakespeare level. He’s also very pretty, way too pretty, sir can you share some of your genes? 

But aside from that, he’s actually super dependable. You forgot something at home? Sure, he has nothing better to do so he can bring them for you. We’re missing eggs? No problem, he’s just by the store. You’re 95% sure that he just wants to be cheeky and make you thank him for 20 minutes before he actually hands you what you asked for. It’s better for you if you never tell him anything you’re afraid of because Kaeya has no social cues, or more like he throws them out the window, and he’s probably a psychopath. 

He’s incredibly private of his room and things despite his attitude towards yours. You’re convinced he either has a secret lab or that’s where he’s storing the bodies. I was the good guy but due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stab a bitch. But he’s a really good serious talker for those 3am, because everything happens at 3am, talks about life and the meaning of the universe. It absolutely wrecks your sleep schedule but some of the things you talk about are the most crackhead things like what’s the lowest amount of money someone would have to pay you to walk outside without clothes? It’s a legitimate question. 

“Never before have I been so offended with something I 100% agree with.”

Jean

Okay, what world did you save in a past life to live with his absolutely wonderful woman? Mother Teresa take a load off, take a seat. You have nothing to worry about. She’ll bring home little treats back home and it’s the most wholesome thing ever?? Is this what love and affection feels like? We’ve been starved for so long. She says it’s not a big deal and anyone would do it BUT THE MOMENT SOMEONE BUYS FOOD FOR YOU. IT’S A MAGICAL MOMENT. They are forever stuck in your will until proven otherwise. An absolute ray of sunshine that must be protected. 

She does get super busy so you don’t often see each other or get to hang out as much. She’s a bit of a workaholic but a lot more easier to talk her into taking a break. She’s also a pretty decent cook but she prefers baking and jesus christ, girl can you calm down? Be still my beating heart, I’ve been smitten. Has mother hen vibes that you’re not sure if she’s your roommate or if she adopted you into her family. It’s time to start a petition for the Jean protection squad. Given the opportunity, I would aggressively hold your hand. 

She’s always open to whatever you want to do. Any recommendations or things that you like she will try out at least once despite her busy schedule. She’s lowkey lonely because work consumes her so any time you want to hang out or do something together, she jumps on it like she’s feral. She get’s a bit shy to ask if she can join in on your plans because she doesn’t want to bother you or intrude no matter how many times you tell her that’s okay, she still get’s a bit iffy about it. Please save this girl before she trips. In your arms. Platonically. Just kidding haha. Unless?

“I can’t wait to see you happy and not hating everyone again haha.”

Childe

First impressions of Childe were great, until he opened his mouth and you realized how much of a two brain cell child(e) he was. He has two braincells because they constantly have to 1v1 in his brain. He’s lived with a lot of siblings so he has no social awareness or concept of privacy that you’re lucky if you come home and he’s half-dressed. It doesn’t matter if you’re 2 weeks older than him, he’s going to call you 82 years old and why your bones aren’t being fossilized at this point. He’s such a little shit, this fucker licks the yogurt lid peel.  

He get’s really restless when he’s stuck under house arrest, because apparently 1v1ing in the parking lot of a Wendy’s is illegal for some reason, so he makes dying whale noises until he get’s to go outside again. But he’s actually a really wholesome guy, probably because of his younger siblings, that he’ll sometimes get you something because you seemed down and it’s such whiplash? Who is this man and where did he come from? You’re starting to have a change of heart before he tells you that he got banned from the library for accidently punching the school’s computer. How you “accidently” punch something you have no idea but Childe always comes home with some sort of injury. Maybe he’s just incredibly clumsy. For your sanity, you’re going to go with that. 

He’s actually so uncultured that it’s crippling. You can’t blame him too much considering his upbringing and it’s great that he’s so interested in learning new things but...child no...It makes you want to take your spine out of your ass and rip it like a Beyblade. Watching him take chopsticks and stab his food like it’s marshmallows makes you want to fall into a blackhole and let the chair consume you. 

“I, too, fantasize about beating the living shit out of people.”

Is this another tag yourself game cause I resonate with Diluc. I’m crying in insomnia. As much as I enjoy writing these fics I absolutely hate tagging them. I remember I used to have a tag anon but that was back when I wrote for bnha. 

Valentine’s Day was fun tho. I had a drinking game with friends as we played league then ended it off with a movie night.

Hi there! Can you please do relationship headcanons of a gender neutral MC with autism and ADHD dating the seven brothers? I’d love to see more positive writing of a neurodivergent MC and how each of the brothers would love and respect them regardless of their disabilities. Feel free to do this if you want to. If not, that’s ok! Have a great day! 😁👍🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻🌷🌹🌻🌼🌸🌺

This ask literally made me squeal- my neurodivergent ass is gonna have way too much fun with this- LMAO Just a warning, I'm basing this mainly off of my personal experiences (I have ADHD and am possibly getting tested for atypical autism in the future.). Ill try to be as broad as possible but I'd just like to give a heads up.

Just know that if you don't relate to this post or something in it, that doesn't mean you aren't valid! Everyone experiences neurodivergencey differently ^^

☆The Brothers Dating A GN!MC With Autism & ADHD☆

Day-to-day life has always been a struggle. As it feels like no human truly understands why you function the way you do. From bosses, to teachers, to neurotypical friends. Life can feel draining and like a chore when you're living in a world that doesn't function the way you do.

Then your world literally changes. You're in the devildom now. Most people would be terrified that they're living in a house full of demons. But you weren't. You felt like you finally belonged, and eventually you finally found love. Something that people assumed you'd never be able to find. Well jokes on them because your lover treats you with so much respect and kindness, and of course you do the same. This is some of what your lover does that just makes your heart spin:

Lucifer:

-Much to your dismay, before Lucifer started to get to know you he was similar to the humans you've encountered in the past. This doesn't last long though as one of the brothers (most likely Leviathan or Mammon) try to explain. He begins to go a bit easier on you, and also falls for you.

-When you guys start dating, he makes it his goal to help make your day-to-day life easier. Dare I say, he takes pride in it. (Hahahah aren't I funny?)

-He notices how you need a schedule to function, but how much you hate schedules. So with your permission, he makes a loose schedule and follows it WITH you. It simultaneously helps you function more than usual, and it helps Lucifer take breaks when he needs to.

-You two begin to do everything together, as doing stuff together and holding each other accountable is a lot easier than doing it alone

-If someone ever dares to make a rude comment about you Lucifer will um... "take care of them".

-If you ever get overstimulated from the environment you're in, Lucifer keeps his office wide open as a quiet place for you. He keeps a weighted blanket, some headphones and any stim toys you usually use in a corner of his office. If you're not comfortable with them out in the open he'll keep them in a special box somewhere in his office that others can't get into.

Mammon:

-Executive Dysfunction gang! The both of you are relieved that you understand each other and some dumbass wont just go "jUsT gEt Up aNd dO iT!"

-If you guys are struggling with it at different times, you'll try to help each other do small tasks that require very limited effort so that one of you don't get overwhelmed and stressed out. If its a particularly difficult day, you'll just stay there to support the other if they want that.

-If both of you are struggling that day, you do nothing ✨together✨ and just vibe with each others company.

-This man brings you shiny things. They don't even have to be worth anything, they're just shiny. You proceed to do the same. You two now have a designated spot for shiny things you bring each other. If you have an interest in art, you and him will probably end up using the shiny objects as art projects.

-A LOT of impulse shopping. You guys enable each other. Although you quickly realize that you impulse shop for each other. Every second day you end up bringing each other gifts and laughing about it after.

Leviathan:

-Y'know that arm thing two neurodivergent people do when they find out that the other person is neurodivergent? Yeah you two did that. And still continue to do that. It's your greeting now.

-You two spend tons of time either cuddling and talking about your special interests together, or both of you are pacing around Levi's room talking about your special interests together.

-And if you end up having the same special interest?? Oh man the serotonin you two both get just being AROUND each other.

-If you have a hard time around tons of people (in general or just at certain times) he's more than willing to share his room with you and for you two to do online school together. I mean hey, doing school by yourself online is difficult. (Even if it's more comfortable for you both)

-Will he get you a matching pair of noise cancelling headphones if you have auditory sensory issues, or if you just like the pressure on your head. (I don't know if that's a neurodivergent thing but I will wear my headphones just so that I feel some sort of pressure on my head)

-You both communicate what you need, and whether you need alone time or not. Making sure not to trigger any form of rejection sensitivity dysphoria for eachother.

Satan:

-If you were one of those neurodivergent kids that spent all of their time in the library, going through books like wildfire in middle school, get ready for that to be reignited.

-You two will read together all the time, and if you're having a day where you're more fidgety and don't wanna stay still, Satan is more than happy reading to you while you pace around.

-Satan has a natural curiosity, and loves to learn about anything that he doesn't already know about. So if you have a special interest about your own neurodivergency, he is more than happy to listen to you ramble about your life experiences and symptoms.

-Honestly, it doesn't even have to be about neurodivergency, Satan is happy to listen and learn about anything you're interested currently.

-If you aren't big on physical affection from humans or, well... humanoid people, that's perfectly fine! That's what animals are for! He'll take you to a cat cafe and will enjoy spending time with the animals with you.

-Similar to Lucifer, if anyone makes a comment about the way you act, they wont live to see another day. Unlike Lucifer, the demons who say these comments don't even finish their sentence. They're dead before MC blinks.

Asmodeus:

-When Asmodeus finds out that you have sensory issues that affect what you wear, he decides to hand-make clothes with fabrics of your choice. He has no issue with you prioritizing comfort over appearance, but if you want to put effort into your appearance and texture is stopping you, he's more than happy to design some stuff for you.

-Asmodeus has always been a touchy person, but if you aren't comfortable with that he'd never force you to cuddle. If you are interested in physical affection one of his favourite things to do is put makeup on your face, or just touch your face.

-Speaking of which, if you ever impulsively cut your hair whether it be from breakdown, normal impulsivity, or sensory issues with your hair being longer. He'll always help you cut your hair. He wants to make sure that once you cut it, you wont regret it the next day.

-Depending on whether you like going outside or not (or if its depending on the day) he's more than happy to take you to the fall! He'll make sure you're always comfortable and if you need the attention diverted from you if you need a break!

-If you don't like going outside, Asmo will dedicate certain nights for just you two to hang out. He can always energy match you. Hyperactive? Oh he's right there with you bouncing of the walls. Calmer? He doesn't mind just vibing with you. Comfort? Oh you've come to the right guy.

-Asmodeus is very emotionally intelligent, it may have originally been for the wrong purposes (charming others) but now he can use it to help you work through issues with socializing with others, past traumas from other people, he'll always do his best to support you as long as you'd do the same for him!

Beelzebub:

-Beel is always well meaning, but whether you're neurodivergent or neurotypical, communication is key with him. So, if you're unintentionally blunt to neurotypical people, that's exactly what Beel needs and wants. He knows you don't mean it out of harm, you're just trying to state your boundaries.

-Do you need a weighted blanket? This man will become the weighted blanket. He wants to make sure you're comfortable at all times!

-If you have trouble eating, Beel is here to help. If you take meds for ADHD and they make you lose your appetite, or just general forgetfulness, he'll remind you to have at least some sort of small snack throughout the day. Nothing too filling, just enough so that you aren't running on zero food throughout the day.

-All the go-to and comfort foods that you had in the human world? Beel would make it his MISSION to get them, and TONS of it too. It's the only food in the house he wont eat because he knows how important it is to you. He will tear up a bit if you offer to share though.

-If you're in a hyperactive mood, or anxious, Beel will convince you to do some light exercise with him to help calm you down

Belphegor:

-If you have trouble sleeping, Belphie will definitely try and help. Ranging from cuddling, aroma therapy, getting Beel to do exercise with you. To more magical means (if you're comfortable with it) like sleeping powder.

-If you just have a different internal clock than the average person, that's fine too! It may be permanent but that's okay- Belphie will sleep at any time with you.

-Isn't generally a social person so if you're not that big of a fan of social interaction you don't have to worry. Belphie would even do online school with you!

-He would let you use his pillows and blankets to stim if that's something you're interested in. He'd also listen to you ramble about your interests while doing so! As long as you don't mind him talking about the stars afterwards.

-Definitely the most blunt out of his brothers, so communication wouldn't be an issue between you two. If his bluntness is a bit too harsh for you he'll try to tone it down a bit, but it would probably just end up as him trying to explain the reasoning behind the bluntness and how it's not out of harm.

Captains Log No.33_ addsmespice

Firuz and Inari are a pair of naughty ass alts tht I made to start some adult content w WAV and we have yet to shoot a scene with them but for avis that I put together with less than 100Ls they look goodt. Stay Tuned! Follow their twitter its, https://twitter.com/firuzinari!!

she cute X.X So yaaahhhhhh Wav and I are working on episode 2 of Meta Love Talks and I am working in general on a full schedule for my creative ass (thank the fates) I am super grateful that I have so many amazing ideas and I ask for the strength to carry them out to completion and be fully committed and consistent in the act of self love that is putting it all out. AMEN!

Sub to our Youtube page! https://www.youtube.com/@studio19.

One thing we didnt mention and want to make sure we do more moving forward is give visibility and credits to all the creators that make our content possible. I honestly haven’t been good at doing that because of pure laziness lol. I will do better! I do not want to gatekeep any of these amazing creative tools and things that come together to make videos and pics and looks possible! So ya that first episode we filmed at a historic Sci Fi spot in SL called Hangars Liquides, def a place to check out because the artists there are dedicated to the political movements that art generates in their home countries. Its a dope ass movement behind Hangars that we didnt know about till after the filming. I have to do a whole post and more on that because its so fascinating to me.

I have been pulled into a deeper love for the history of SL, as time goes on there will be more history added and so everything we do in this platform can become apart of that too. Something to think about. Legacy is important to me. In RL and SL has now been a fun way to “troubleshoot” so to speak, the habits and skills necessary to make that happen fr. My Amor tribe will grow, and I have recently been honored to have been asked to be someones daughter. *pinch me im dreaming!* So now we growing our own family and im being introduced into another one all at once. Inshallah!  

Im pretty sure a black creator on zooby hud made this texture for the onesie and its just so clever because its got shoes and pants and a top but on one onesie its brilliant! I need to log in and look and add in where its from later for yall! Genius.

We have been experimenting and practicing more with lighting and photography, getting content. Its been a lot of fun and sometimes also can be daunting. Always remember never compare yourself or your work to others as tempting as it may be! Unless you want to stifle you motivation and creativity! Heed this warning fellow creators don’t you dare do that to yourself! I get into that mode sometimes feeling like “oh no one likes my stuff” but then I realize that hey, I LOVE IT lol and thats all that matters. The bonus is that people that end up liking it too  are oftentimes creators that I myself admire and who’s work I think is amazing representation of SL so that means a lot more to me than having hundreds of likes. I see a lot of ppl get discouraged and maybe this can help put things into a diff perspective. Keep doing you!

Wav had a whole ass amazing idea to do a shoot in the rain and so of course I needed to have us do a kiss in the rain. We have that on our RL couples bucket list. I think one of our meta love talk episodes will def have to include that segment in there because its really fun putting together and finding new things that we can experience together. Game changer! Anywayssss look how cuuuuuteeee they aree *hearteyes*

I be so annoying and nagging Wav a lot more than I would like to admit XD He shuts me up when he does things like take me on romantic dates like this... its such a treat. Also funny asl whenever we try and have a meal and realize we actually have to make reservations so that people can RP the whole dinner for us lmaooo. I hope that one day we can fully get it together but it is really the thought that counts for me. I dont care if we are eating air sandwiches as long as its with MY MAN MY MAN MY MAN. lols and they had a bar cart! I was going in on green fairy absinthe and champagne. Reminded me of RL college days I made my own wormwood tincture.. I used to concoct all kinds of potions since very young. I started out in a coven in 3rd grade... but thats another story entirely !

We need to go back and buy this couples walker it was such a delightful thing lol even when it was glitching out we were walking on air and thats how I feel when I am around this man (and when he’s not being annoying because we are mirrors for one another lmao) Fairytales are not always a walk in the park, the beautiful moments only exist because you choose to make them happen. Our generation has to learn that great things do not always come quick, they can be easy sure but things that last take time.

[desultory-novice]

To complete the Star Allies Wave 3 trio, how about Susie for the character ask?

003 Susie

...Heh. We're here, are we? I'll be honest, this one is tricky.

Susie, due to her affiliation with the antagonist (and what she herself did in game and is implied to continue to do in Star Allies) makes her, to my knowledge, a highly contentious character. (??)

I mean, to list out all the things the HWC does/is implied to have done would put this post on many people's blacklists including my own. So, I would just like it made clear that the obviously bad things happening in that game and that the various characters contribute to ARE BAD and we can all agree on that. Also, I will not be going into a discussion of them while taking about Susie. 

I'll just be talking about her as a character. Ready?

How I Feel About This Character:

All that said, I do like Susie. I'm very sympathetic toward her. Not to get too personal here, but I understand having a love/hate, highly-strained relationship with a father who does not seem to see you no matter what you do...

I think Susie was someone who had to grow up FAST - either while she was growing up alone with her father during their travels (which, given Max's tendencies to get very involved in work, probably meant she spent a lot of time raising herself) or simply due to learning to survive as a little girl lost and alone in Another Dimension.

As a result, I see her as kind of enjoying her second childhood as an adult woman. The loud laughter. (A trait she adorably shares with her father.) The insistence on a gigantic ice cream factory. Her being quick to snap to childish feelings like jealousy and how fast she runs away from accepting blame for the things she did. Her crush on Meta Knight just because he's strong and cool. 

She is a woman who is taking her revenge on a rotten life where she was robbed of family and normality by living completely responsibility-free in the present, and damn if that doesn't probably feel good! (Even if, again, as stated above, that is not.morally.good. And not good for the people she hurts.)

I also dig her pink hair. And I think her egg-shaped body is really neat, design--wise. Gal's got some serious hips where Sectonia and Clawroline are toothpicks - literally.

Any/All the People I Ship Romantically With This Character:

My Susie leans aro/ace (also lesbian HCs) and while that doesn't preclude me from ever shipping her with anyone, I think she's still busy living life for herself for the first time to want to have to split her time with anyone else? Especially the incredible schedule/emotional complications of maintaining a healthy relationship. That requires a lot of dedication and Susie already did the devotion song and dance for years for a father who tragically didn't even recognize her.

I have considered shipping her with various combinations of Mage-Sisters, and then I saw the 25th Anniversary concert video and entertained the idea of SectoSusie for a bit, which was fun, but nothing lasts. Except for Susie x ice cream! Get that woman all the ice cream she wants!

My Favorite Non-Romantic Relationship For This Character:

"Favorite" is hard to apply to Susie and her father for a variety of reasons, but hell if it isn't a completely AMAZING relationship. I mean, that story. The stuff going on in Planet Robobot just has a tendency to stay with you. Biggest tragedy in the Kirby franchise, maybe...? (It’s funny that all the planets are magically healed in the end, which is a bit of a cop-out, but if they didn’t give us at least that, it would be THE most depressing Kirby game of all time.) 

Anyway, if only the story were just a -little- more comprehensibly laid out in game, it would rival RtDL for "best story to adapt to a movie."

Susie and Max are very complicated, which is perfect for the relationship between a father and his adult daughter, and I love the game for it. I love that her rebellion against him is a mix of real corporate spy stuff and just this “child's game” kind of attitude. Yes, she's going to try and sell Star Dream to a competitor, but she CAN'T possibly care about the money. To me, by stealing Star Dream she's doing the same thing as putting tacks in her dad's shoes so he can't go to the office that day and miss her piano recital. She's being "his little girl" almost in secret, still hoping that this time...this time...

Oh, and since this is explicitly non-romantic, I'll go ahead and throw Susie + Meta Knight here. For anyone pushing the back button, I said NON-ROMANTIC!

I think exploring the absolute (implied?) horror show that went on here is very fascinating, speaking as an angst-fiend. 

I saw a spine-tingling comic on Pixiv about the lore that Meta Knight eats parfaits in secret every night being a thing that dropped -after- Planet Robobot and in this story, Meta Knight realizes that Susie messed with his mind and this craving was something she programmed into him. It was frightening and delightful and I'm open to more of it. (Again, Soul Melter EX Take, they're all friends after Star Allies, so I'm sure at some point they talked it out. But I'm happy for unwanted cyborg-modification angst UNTIL then!)

My Unpopular Opinion About This Character:

Since we're still talking Susie + Meta Knight here, I don't actually fault anyone who does ship them/likes seeing them together. PR is a neat game in that there is some seriously messed up stuff you can read into it, but that stuff does lie -beneath- the surface, and it does not make you wrong nor a bad person if you choose to take the game at face value. And, at purely face value, Meta Knight shakes off what happened to him pretty fast. So, that's fair.

Anyway, I guess my most unpopular opinion about Susie is that I like her and sympathize with her struggles? I also think it's funny(*) that she immediately goes back to roboticizing planets after PR - that is, I think it’s funny in the same way I think it's funny that Magolor is like "Kirby, my best friend, of course I'll help you! And when we're done, I can go back to my plans for galactic conquest, mwahaha!" Basically, on a purely joke level, the fact that NONE of the villain-friends are remotely “better people” now is hilarious to me.

(*) Again, standard disclaimers apply. None of the actual horrible stuff involved in/implied by roboticization of planets and their people and eradication/mocking of other cultures is actually funny.

One Thing I Wish Would Happen / Had Happened With This Character in Canon:

I actually really love the one unusued idea for Susie Kumazaki posted on Miiverse where she was going to be a robot Max built in mourning for his daughter, and that she had only thought she was the real Susie. Sure, it's a story that's been told before, whereas the time-dimension-memory shenanigans of PR is more innovative, but I like the classics too.

A nice touch would have been if they went with the "Max was a robot the whole time too," then you could have a future where he could possibly be rebuilt and reunited with his "daughter." 

Alas. HAL decided to deliver us a story about how painful reality can be instead. But that's what's beautiful about PR's story. For all the sci-fi and the memory-devouring-soul-sucking-ancient-super-computer-that-was-built-flawed, the human drama is all too normal and maybe a little too relatable in places.

Favorite Friendship For This Character:

This, right here!

This is from Itsudemo Kirby. It is a thing that really happens. 

I like seeing Susie hang out with the other pink characters. Susie and Chuchu and Ribbon and Kirby all just hanging out having Pink Girl fun times? Yes please! 

I suppose I do enjoy “Susie and Magolor team up to engage in malicious late-stage capitalism” jokes but I just want her to have lots of Girls’ Night Out time.

FREE SPACE/Recs:

Rinyo's Planet Robobot video is one of my least watched Kirby AMVs ever, even though I've got it in my Youtube rotation. The reason is because I always choose to skip it when it comes up. THAT reason is because it hurts. Damn, does this video hurt so much! The "screw you, humans, and your stupid emotions" chorus is so raw and painful and so Susie. 

The song very nearly puts me in tears.

Everyone -should- have seen it already, but just in case you haven't...

There was no happy ending for Max. And there was no happy ending to Susie's plan. But perhaps...there's still a chance for her to find happiness elsewhere?

Although it would help if she would actually STICK to the original Haltmann Works mission of improving lives and not in the bad way! If Susie were to go on to become the Seto Kaiba of the Kirby-verse, I would be very okay with that.

(...Actually, without the Access Arc or the Mother Computer/Star Dream, do we know if she's actually able to do much of anything? She's still got the loyal company robots presumably, but it was the Access Arc that did all the roboticizing on a planetary-scale. I wonder if she's effectively turned into all bark and no bite? Sticks around on Planet Popstar, despite threatening bigger galactic aims, while doing things like introducing people to internet and bluetooth - but that's about the best she can do? A little fun to think about.)

[prettycooregrey]

aaaaaaaa @yukiyuuki‘s tags are so good it makes me want to talk abt what I think this panel means some more,,,,

the panel in question:

Post under the cut!

So when I was in middle school I had this blowout fight with my dad about something stupid and it escalated into yelling. But y’know, yelling back at your parents gets you in even deeper shit, so like... it’s best not to.

We had this cheap set of window blinds at the time that we got from a discount outlet that were “supposed” to look like wood but were really just plastic and tbh you couldn’t fool anyone. So in the middle of this fight I feel like I’m going to explode because I’m trapped in a fight with my dad and he’s yelling at me--instead of yelling back, I turned around and sank my teeth into the blinds like a bite block.

Again: these were made of cheap plastic and it left a very clear indent of my teeth. But the blinds were newish, they were a pain in the ass and took two men with DIY know-how to put them up, and my parents had to be careful with money, so they weren’t replaced for many years after. Any time I walked into the kitchen I would see it, and I would feel (irrationally, mind you) ashamed at my “loss of control.”

That’s what the phone is to Mike.

He’s had it for a very significant portion of the comic, over 40 chapters.

This is Call Waiting, page 2. It was posted in June 2011, just over ten years ago now. This is a very long ways back from the current chapter (Eternal Flame).

Oliver’s commentary on the page notes that Mike’s family is pretty comfortable as, in 2008, an iPhone would have been pretty expensive -- especially for a teenager. Mike was so desperate for the phone that he cashed in his birthday and Christmas presents for it so he could text Sandy.

sidenote: It’s been mentioned, probably by Mod Brambles iirc, that Mike’s lockscreen has never changed. It has always been this picture of Sandy from when they were much younger.

During their fight/breakup, Mike threw it very hard and with very little care across the room, causing the screen to crack. Presumably, like my window blinds, this serves as a permanent physical reminder of what happened that night. The phone is his link to Sandy, and represents nearly the whole of their relationship. Every since getting together, Mike and Sandy have met face-to-face twice, and all other communication has been through letters and phone lines. Mike’s cell phone is representative of them as a couple.

And... it’s about what you’d expect from two teenagers who have nothing in common.

In page 64 of Eternal Flame, Mike looks down at his cracked screen and tells his friend that they’re going to “get rid of distractions.”

As yukiyuuki said in their tags, this doesn’t just mean Francis. It means Lucy, too. Mike intends to continue his relationship with Sandy through the phone (with promised schedules calls and more frequent replies). But every time he unlocks it to text her... he’s going to see these cracks in the screen.

another sidenote: I don’t believe Mike would go out of his way to fix the phone within the confines of the narrative. The phone is expensive and a repair would be as bad--touchscreen electronics, if not insured, can be less costly to just replace instead of fixing. And while Mike gets along with his parents, unlike my relationship with my dad, he still understandably shrinks like a violet when they’re angry at him. also, Vero would have to dedicate writing/art to a scene as such and she has better things to be working on irt the comic it’s gonna be soooo funny if I’m wrong.

anyway.

additionally, there’s plenty of analysis on the way Mike sees cheating/cheaters and @bramblepaws​ put it a lot better than I ever could have, check it out here. the point is that he takes loyalty and commitment very seriously. while it wasn’t technically cheating since she’d dumped him immediately prior, I’m willing to wager that the fact that Mike went out and kissed Lucy as soon as he was cut loose is going to weight very heavily on their relationship for the rest of the time they’re in it, even and especially if it’s only by his own guilt. he absolutely saw this as a hiccup and not a true breakup, since it probably didn’t even last an hour. so not only was Sandy compromising fidelity, (wrt to Bramble’s post: “I really love him”/”you’re so... nice”), so was he.

after all, this wasn’t exactly the same at the other two kisses they’ve shared...

One of these things is NOT like the others, if you catch my meaning.

And while none of these kisses were technically cheating on Sandy or disrespecting his feelings toward her (the first two were before they got back together and the third is, of course, right after their breakup/makeup), Mike has always looked back on them as such because they represent the idea that when Sandy left, Mike fell in love with someone else and therefore he wasn’t “loyal enough,” hence the trauma surrounding being perceived as a cheater by his peers.

yet another sidenote: it occurs to me that these three kisses each have different instigators. the Confrontation one is instigated by Lucy, the Pillow Talk one is instigated by Mike, and while you could argue that Mike instigated in Eternal Flame, the truth is that they both made the decision and came together into that kiss and therefore it was a mutual decision.

so yeah. not only does Mike have another “tally” in his Wasn’t Faithful box, self-imposed and self-inflicted as it is, but Sandy does as well. Sandy’s as-of-currently [checks time] 4:51pm 7/15/21 emotional unfaithfulness (we don’t know how far it goes as the camera’s not on her, but it was unfaithfulness) paired with this third kiss is the coffin for Mike and Sandy that December was for Mike and Lucy (and in a previous post, I described Mike’s behavior toward Lucy in Eternal Flame as the “final nail,” and while we have yet to see Mike and Sandy’s this is a good way to frame the countless parallels between this chapter and December).

Neither of them are going to be able to forget about it. they’re attached to the point that I would describe their relationship as nearly codependent, and absolutely toxic... but it’s no longer a genuine relationship either of them are taking genuine pleasure in. they’ve each has encounters where they’ve experienced pretty explosive chemistry with other people, but they’ve been together since they were kids and for fear of hurting each other and in the unknown variables of new relationships, they’ve decided to stay together.

(please wear safety goggles in the fireworks lab, folks.)

but again, they won’t forget what happened here, and it’s going to have ramifications for how they move forward. the only thing they’ve done by getting back together is delayed the inevitable and gotten other people hurt in the crossfires.

and that’s what the crack in that panel means.
