Marriagetoxin Pop-up Report

Hey tiny Marriagetoxin fandom! Today I’m going to do a recap of the special pop-up shop available in Tokyo from August 2nd-September 1st 2024

What is Tsutaya? It’s a big bookstore chain in Japan. They often do collabs or promotional events. So I went, but couldn’t find any anything? Maybe because it was the busy Shibuya location. Anyway, changed locations and…

Finally! Found lots of merch, for many series, some well-known and some obscure for western fandom. But…couldn’t find any Marriagetoxin? Had to ask an employee. Thankfully eventually found it-

Ta-da! It was on the reverse side of a display rack. 😅 Kinda shady tbh. I was a bit sad that people walking by couldn’t casually discover it or something…

Anyway here’s the merch offerings: tote bag, mini posters (3-pack), pencil holder stand, randomized panel cards, etc.

Even mugs!!! (for all your poison brewing needs)

This was my ending haul! Didn’t get the mug even though I was tempted to. 😭 Hopefully it helped show some support at least

Now let’s check those randomized pulls!

I got Kinosaki during the chp 1 ‘confession’ scene, and Ureshino during her cooldown chp. Haha I’m happy with these. Was hoping for the Teruaki panel but they’re still nice! Good quality with clear raised plastic cover

Oh also got these paper panel cards as a free bonus 🥰

And that was the Marriagetoxin pop-up shop! Some good finds and fun merch offerings. Hopefully there will be other events in the future, for more people to enjoy ☠️ ❤️ 🌹

gojo would kill your work husband. but if he were the work husband, that's a different story

REAL!! he’s such a hypocrite because if someone mentioned you had a work husband, his entire world would stop and he wold devise the absolute worst plans to make sure that your co-worker, everyone at your job, and everyone in the next building over knew that he was happily committed to you 

but if he is the work husband, he’s very........ dutiful in his role. there’s a loose office/lawyer au in my head where satoru is your secretary, and for all intents and purposes, your personal assistant, and he’s good at his job, but mostly because he considers his job to be pleasing you. he has coffee for you when you arrive, he moves your schedule around without you asking, he has answers to questions before you can even ask them, he has fresh flowers on your desk weekly, pokes into your meetings to pretend to hand you a file that’s really just maybe a single document in a manilla folder with candy on top of it—he’s made himself your business, your partner; he’s made himself irreplaceable, and he loves to remind everybody of that fact. 

he’s also extremely loyal. sure, he could day a week’s worth of work done in about a day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll just use his talents for anybody. he’s your secretary, so he’s at your beck and call, and everyone knows it. they know he’s the best, but also that he’s off limits—not because you won’t share him, but because satoru won’t let himself be shared. 

he also extends his duties beyond work, of course. when he hands you a print out of your schedule for the day and you’re confused by the three-hour block of time you have in the middle of the day, satoru just helps you shrug your coat of your shoulders and smiles, “that’s for the lunch date you have with me, of course!” hanging up your coat in your closet for you, “i’m paying, see you soon, sweets.” and because you’re great at your job, and satoru helps you be great, nobody really questions when the two of you have time for a 13-course tasting menu at 1pm on a tuesday afternoon. and if they did, all satoru would say that you two had a lovely date

(ln8 spoilers) jinshi thinking except for my godly looks i am just average and then his smartass goes and kills around five birds with just one brand. someone whose status is so high that even his name can't be said by anyone except the emperor jinshi branded himself with the crest of the empress vowing loyalty to her assuring her he doesn't wants to take the place of her son. one-upping his "bro" with this who refuses to let him leave the line of succession wouldn't let him become a commoner doesn't wants to let him become a servant to the royal family. only slaves get branded and if this ever got out there will be chaos in the court. gyokuyou tho considers jinshi like a brother and he did swear loyalty to her but if she ever tried to cross his family her clan's brand on his body would be enough to prove her as an adultress which would be bad for her and her clan.

and jinshi did this in front of these two people and maomao so now she is the only one who can see him naked and the emperor cannot order him to marry anyone which was something that was definitely gonna happen had he not done what he did. as a bonus he gets to spend more time with maomao after a long time and he did all this while saying the exact words: empress gyokuyou, your enemy i shall never be in front of maomao reassuring her because she once muttered i don't want to be an enemy to empress gyokuyou and he had heard her but before he could tell her that he had no intention of doing that either he couldn't because of the lishu incident. one of the major reasons maomao hadn't accepted her own feelings for jinshi one of the obstacles he promised to remove for her. even though he doesn't even know that maomao's concerns about her becoming gyokuyou's enemy had to do with his birth secret his true status. that no matter what he is the rightful successor. something jinshi himself isn't even aware of and yet without knowing that he did this to deal with it all in a single way most preferable to him: masochism

It's just... odd to me, I suppose, going from "what is in my pants is completely irrelevant to most anybody else's life" to the expectation that you must be completely open, essentially, about what is in your pants.

I think a lot of people understand the general idea of why it's bad decorum to demand people offer explanations for private information like this, but they don't analyze exactly why it's bad besides, "asking directly is just rude" and not "asking in any way still enforces the often violent nature of gender and sex, and putting people in the 'right box' is a part of that violence."

It's especially odd when seeing other trans people enforcing the idea that "what's in your pants?" is a genuine, good-faith basis for interacting with others.

Can we talk about how the heart and soul of the original Ace Attorney trilogy centers around how Phoenix loves his sister Maya so much he will do literally anything for her but all the fandom wants to talk about is Wrightworth

As much as I appreciate and admire my family's religion because it brings them comfort and strength, there really isn't anything else like being told to youtube search for videos about atheists going to hell and then coming back to life, and knowing that, functionally, you are the same as an atheist because you aren't xtian to them. Like!!! Being told inadvertently and in a roundabout way that I'm going to hell by my dad is very odd, and the only thing to say in his defense is I have never delved into my religious beliefs and practices at all once. I'm just in awe about the idea of hell frankly

[keeps-ache]

okay i'm out of evil mode. peace love and a little bit of still-tired on planet earth lol 🧃

How's it going?

Going well! I hope my relative absence hasn't made anybody think I'm doing badly. If anybody's off Tumblr for longer periods of time it means they're doing great, tbh.

I got covid, went to Hawai'i, and started a new job that is asking me to commute for the first time in 4 years, caught up on all of the social interaction I missed, and downloaded the Sim 2. So. Busy.

I also just finished up a literal 80k story which, which isn't good but which I'm ridiculously happy with. Does something have to be good when it's fucking funny, very intense, and the prose is surprisingly good? No. Who said you needed a real plot or anything but dialogue. Who told you that.

I've also been stress writing something else which is very long and very bad and will never see the light of day. So my writing energy has been going to those things.

The latest Weekenders chapter needs some edits that I just haven't had time for, so that's why it hasn't gone up yet. The readership base is relatively small for that story so I don't feel overly pressured. I work on what I feel like working on.

I'll assume you were thinking along the lines of, 'Wow, Meg's been gone, hope nothing bad's happening'. These asks can also mean 'When's the next update, but politely?'. But I have gotten a comment on Weekenders that was nothing but saying 'hope the next chapter comes soon'. Addressing anybody reading this in general - please don't leave comments like that! Especially when it's the only sentence in the comment. It wasn't phrased rudely but I think, for me especially, it feels a little ridiculous - I am a worryingly prolific author, who regularly posts new writing on my AO3 or my tumblr, and who updates once a week extremely regularly. Taking a break for a few weeks is incredibly normal to everybody else, and I don't want to be held to a different standard. People wouldn't ask anybody else, 'why aren't you posting new stories and updating constantly'. I'm not one of those people who needs feedback and validation from anybody but my abused Discord friends, not that there's anything wrong with having ordinary human emotions, and those comments don't make me want to stop writing or hurt my feelings - but they really don't do anything. My mind wanders, I find new things, and I write what I want to write. It's literally fanfic. I'll never pressure myself. If I wanted to do that I'd write stories I will admit to writing irl lol.
