LDF AU headcanons

Amato and Ghazali once lost Bbb and Ali in an IKEA, for at least 7 hours. They went to IKEA like to buy furniture for Tok aba new house in Pulau Rintia after he moved there after Umis death, and they have to bring the boys cause their wife's are working, and like imagine these two stupid men arguing about whether they should get the plates that are boring and a bit plain, or the ones that look like a drunk person with zero coordination skills made them, guess who wanted to buy which plates, and in the middle of the argument Mechabot blurts out "Where are the kids?!"

They both stop point blank and spend the next hour running around the ridiculously big IKEA warehouse, why did they have to go to the biggest one in Malaysia looking for their sons. It never occurred to them to try and go to the front desk and ask the worker for help.

The boys just got bored of hearing their daddies argue and sneaked off to the kids area. Tok aba and their wives kill them after they find out.

Tok aba tells the story to their friends once and since Ali and Bbb were too young to remember their a bit shocked it happened.

Boboiboy & Ali: Wait, that happened????

Tok Aba: *oddly happy sigh* Indeed, Boboiboy and Ali, indeed

How did you found bbb? Like i genuinely thought this show was like a niche thing because i found it on accident back in 2021(?) And it exploded my mind by the amount of views it has but like.. i've never heard of anything like it?? Got even more shocked with the fact it apparently has 2 MOVIES???

It was a series I’ve watched on and off as a kid! It just appeared on the TV and it looks cool so I watched it lol I didn’t watched everything per se I’d say around half of season 1 and the beginning of season 2

Then I just remembered about it on a random Wednesday honestly like it just popped in the back of my mind like “hey remember this?” and me being the unsuspecting victim of the time went “oh! Yeah I do I wonder if the seasons are posted to YouTube” and it went downhill really quick

I found the two seasons I was expecting then oh damn a season 3? That’s nice! Imma watch that- THEY HAVE A MOVIE????? TWO MOVIES?????!!! A SEQUEL AND A PREQUEL SERIES????!!!!! Shiiiyetttt I’m too curious to back down rn I better watch all that- THERE IS EVEN A PREQUEL MOVIE???!!!

Yeah and boom I realised after my fifth time going down the fandom just for Daun content that oh nawr I’m in it too deep now like bruh how did I get into a fandom I thought was just niche to me and uncovered that it is much bigger than I thought????

Anyways vv cool ride lol lost some of my sanity in the process tryna sit down and watch everything but it’s cool seeing the awesome fandom behind it teehee

It’s not the desire / attraction for another that is wrong when you’re in a mono relation.It’s the dishonesty that is THE betrayal. It’s human nature & natural for BOTH men and women to be attracted/stimulated both physically mentally and energetically by others

sure as long as it is consensual or they aren’t conjugally involved it doesn’t harm anyone, I guess?

[transmascutena]

what do you think about the incestuous relationships in revolutionary girl utena, and the root causes of the abuse? one of my favorite analyses I've read so far talked about how rape and incest aren't deviant, they are an extension of the patriarchal family unit. And do you have any thoughts/analysis about how it specifically manifests in RGU and the way the narrative communicates these themes?

It's so annoying the way some people act like the incest is just regular brother and sister complexes that's common in a lot of anime, and not an integral part of the show's themes about the Family fostering an environment ripe for abuse. The show treats these heavy themes seriously, and I wish I was smart enough to articulate my thoughts about Miki and Kozue, Anthy and Akio, etcetera. Hence, this ask.

Jsjsksks I know I sent an ask just yesterday about Revolutionary Girl Utena, but your analysis is so cohesive, and I really appreciate you bringing family/marriage abolition and amato-normativity into your analysis posts. It's very affirming to me as an aromantic asexual.

thank you so much! i will admit i also have a hard time putting my thoughts about these themes into words, because they are . a lot, so forgive me if this is a little rambl-y. but they are a huge and very important part of the show, so they're important to talk about.

i think i know the analysis you're talking about, and it's spot on. every kind of abuse we see in the show is a product of The System (patriarchy, the school system, the nuclear family, etc.) that's not to say that the abuse isn't purposeful, or that it doesn't often come from people choosing to do harm, but their ability to cause that harm is facilitated by these systems. for example, the system is not forcing akio to do what he does (although it is the reason he knows it will get him what he wants) it is just giving him the tools to do it effectively. abuse does come from people, but the systems are what makes the abuse so effective, and that's why we need to dismantle them.

this is something i've mentioned before, but a big part of why anthy was so trapped in her situation until the end, is because of the expectation to value family above all else, and to always love and forgive them no matter how they hurt us. and that is the reason why incest is so inherently toxic and abusive. it's not that it's "gross and unnatural" (such rhetoric really only serves to hurt and alienate victims anyway) it's that you cannot ever have a healthy relationship in a framework that tells you that you always have to stay with someone, and forgive someone, and love someone, no matter what. it doesn't matter if there's no age gap (seen in the kaoru twins) to create other kinds of power imbalances and it doesn't matter if they're not actually related by blood (seen in nanami thinking touga isn't her "real" brother, and in touga trying to use that against her.)

i've talked about how all this affects utena as well, and how even the state of not having a family makes you vulnerable to it, here.

it's not that siblings (or other family members) are more likely to be abusive people, but when they are, it is a lot harder to escape said abuse. leaving a regular abusive relationship is already incredibly difficult, but if they're you're family, it's even easier to fall into the mindset of "oh, but they really just want the best for me." when you've been taught that family is the most important thing in the world, leaving them is a huge decision. especially if you rely on them for material needs as well, like housing and food (which also happens a lot in romantic relationships and marriages.) there's also the way that with sibling incest in particular, especially if there isn't a big age gap, the victim will often be made to feel complicit in the abuse, either by their abuser or by society at large. like it's something "weird and taboo" that two people are doing together, rather than the abuse it really is.

that last part definitely manifests in the show, with the victim-blaming anthy recieves. from nanami especially. her desire to prove that she's "not like anthy" comes from an understandable place. she's dealing with figuring out that her feelings for her brother weren't what she thought they were, but it ends up with her putting equal amounts of blame on akio and anthy for the abuse she witnessed, even though there is a clear perpetrator (not helped by nanami already disliking and distrusting anthy.) it's clearest, i think, when she refers to them as "those perverted siblings" to utena.

it's funny (it's not) that this kind of thinking even manages to happen in the fandom itself. anthy is obviously not a perfect passive victim, and it's reductive of her character to say so, but the idea that she is as much an active participant in the abuse as akio is, is a take i have seen too many times for comfort. like, congrats, you fell for the exact kind of thinking that the show was trying to critique!

[p-receh]

Analysis time! :D

What better way to make another thesis for certain parts of the last episode?

This post, I'll be talking about how strong the Power Spheres could take over its owner's mind.

As I ever mentioned it before. Even though comic book already covered the story of season 2. Again, we still need to look at the TV ver. Because whatever happens, TV shows is still the roots of Boboiboy's franchise. Whether you like it or not.

We good? Now shall we begin?

Re edit for grammar correction

See, of all every Power Spheres that had been introduced, only Kokotaim gang were not yet been "confirmed" what was their Power Spheres look like. Sure, the only elemental bot that had been shown were Hang Kasa's Crystal Bot and Retak'ka's Light Bot, but that's it.

Monsta already established two rules about the Power Sphere:

Every Power Spheres have their mind and soul. They could talk, think and feel like a living being.

Whatever happens, their contact with their first owner emended to their traits and it impacted to their next owner as well.

My first suspicion obviously came from what Gopal had said before in one of anon ask box about the first debut of Taufan and Hali in OG series.

"In the past, Boboiboy Lightning turn into Thunderstorm because he felt extremely angry. Boboiboy Wind turn into Cyclone also because of felling an absolute joy."

Another interesting aspect is from Mechamato movie. Specifically when Amato in Mecha suit mode was being locked to a flashback scene triggered by Mecha Bot uncontrollable sense of fear.

(excuse me for putting the Indonesian sub ver. :/

*translation note in order:

"Mechabot, Shoot!"

"Mechabot! What's wrong?"

"C'mon Mechabot!

From this point, I think you can guess what I would want to go from here.

As the tweet mentioned. It is interesting to note the similarities between the two. Whenever the Power Spheres' soul take over the owner's body more deeper, their eyes will glow and the scars spreads to their skin.

And by that logic, the Power Spheres consume much more energy than before. Thus the heavy drained out both mentally and physically from their owners.

Amato knew this and to fix the same issue, he convinced Mecha Bot during their final battle against General Grakakus in the same movie.

"Mechabot, close your eyes! I will be the one to handle our moves! Trust me!"

It goes back to one of my ted talks about this topic and a highlight some particular line from Kuputeri.

One of my favorite Boboiboy account also solidified his statement again about Oboi's being controlled by Power Sphere or in this case, elemental forms.

In my opinion what Oboi went through was somehow worse than any other Power Sphere wielder out there.

Not only he wields seven strongest powers in the galaxy but also might be the most unconstrained one to control them. Then again he still not reach his age of consent, but he already hold big responsibility to become the hero and most wanted target in the galaxy.

Think about it, even their original owners were a bit struggled to learn their power. Hang Kasa travel planets to planet only for learning his power with other elemental masters, Kuputeri needs to harness for at least hundreds years until she could tame Beliung/Tempest's, A small crack Ki'rana's body armor could made her went berserk due to the immense power of the Lightning bot.

In common sense, every wielder still has their Power Spheres as their own companion while Oboi hasn't. What Boboiboy only has to contain that grandiose powers? a watch. A watch that went three times modification simply because of the powers that was too strong to keep and use all at once. Not to mention how frequent Oboi uses split and now with fusion techniques is also add to the list.

He barely managed to ease his mind when transform to Beliung, Ice and Blaze worsen Baraju's conflicts with their near 3rd tier transformation, and he was lucky to be saved by 30 minutes Oakuat Juice so he could keep Rimba under his watch.

Now that we come so far, the questions still remains missing:

With how bad the elementals took over Oboi, will it possible they are gonna be the next villain for him in the future?

Does Amato knows about Boboiboy's Elementals powers? Does he also know Ochobot past before sending it to him?

Did the rest of elementals Power Spheres already destroyed after the first Retak'ka's raid or not?

I guess maybe Mechamato series might be the answer of Ochobot and all elementals Power Spheres in the past. Again we still have no clue what happened to him during the season 2 events.

And also this line up post before Monsta split the title for Dwifusion to "Gentar" and "Baraju"—

—announced the third season of Galaxy series after BM3 Gur'latan(quite close too after the movie you know?) . My only hope is that it cover the elenmentals and also other origins of Yaya, Ying, Gopal, and Fang Power Sphere.

Where were they came from? Were their Power Spheres also get destroyed like all elementals did? Are their owners still alive or not?

🤔

OOT but I just love Monsta's new thumbnail art for full ep marathon of Windara. 😎👍

does tumblr still have a character count for asks? we're about to find out!

first, if you ever do decide to go down the crockpot recipes rabbithole, i will EAT THEM UP. i loved the abundant food descriptions in honor bound and tbh i never thought about rice salad at all before, so i might try to recreate some of the dishes later on! (i also don't remember if you ever said what real-life cuisines inspired the cuisines of each country? i was curious what it meant when the text referred to daihaikan curries.)

second - ty ty ty so much for the nuanced exploration and representation of gender identity(ies) in hb. it makes me so happy to see different nb identities represented, as well as the fact that m/f characters aren't all cis. this has always been true of your ifs but especially with hb, i LOVE the fact that the queerness cannot be scrubbed out of the story, so to speak.

other things i really liked: 1) decisions having major consequences for romantic relationships (savarel being willing to break up with me over a difference in morals? pls i'm so in love), 2) the exploration of how different technology is in teran (savarel riding a motorcycle? pls i'm so in love), 3) the complications of learning to navigate the prospect of a life outside a structure and power that has controlled so much of it (i'm sure savarel can relate), 4) being able to pet cats and dogs (wow i live for savarel petting amato), 5) hot springs (infinite chocolate for savarel pls), 6) the sheer pettiness of kass naming the pets (har har) after rivals (,,,ok, so i can't think of anything sav-related for this one), and 7) SAVAREL LOPES. i cannot believe you made me, a heathen, fall in love with a pastor.

congratulations again on releasing honor bound, and i can't wait to catch up with what you're cooking next!!

Hee! Thank you so much for this incredibly lovely ask <3 and you didn't hit a wordcount limit!

I'm really glad that you enjoyed Honor Bound for all of the reasons you've mentioned! This honestly makes me so happy.

Real-life cuisines, hmmm...

With the caveat that it's very much inspired-by and not intended at all to be accurate to real-world foods:

Westerlin: a combination of French, German, and Swiss, with a bit of English as well

Jezhan: combination of Scandinavian, German, and a bit of various eastern European

Zaledo: combination of Turkish, Moroccan, and Algerian

Teran: combination of Mediterranean (more Spanish than Italian though) and central American

Teranese islands, Dahaika, and the independent islands: combinations of Zaledo and Teran, plus some Caribbean; Dahaika is super famous for lobster. A Dahaikan curry might be similar to Jamaican curry

Oh, your answers to these questions are absolutely brilliant. I reread them earlier today.

I adore the way in which you crafted this world and the ease with which you navigate this world.

Firstly, you are so fantastic at characterising every single character in your stories. Even Hinatsuru, Makio and Suma feel fleshed out.

Secondly, I adore the little details that you put into this story. Michikatsu creating a wooden horse for the little boy? How adorable. The little boy wanting to steal the snacks? I’ve observed this behaviour one too many times in my nephew. Clinging to Sanemi like a bear cub? That made me giggle! 😁

Thirdly, your… attention to the historical period is really impressive. Personally, I found your exploration of how Michikatsu’s an old soul in the modern world to be utterly fascinating. Of course he’d feel that way! And Michikatsu disappearing in his study or the forest makes sense! I can’t even imagine the level of alienation he must feel — feeling it on two fronts, first by being human once again, and secondly by being displaced centuries forward.

The idea of Michikatsu working in a bookshop is adorable. Do you imagine he’d also just… read during his working hours when no one visited to learn more about the modern world? He’s also… such an impressive man visually, so imagine if he’d attract a gaggle of people visiting this bookshop just to ogle at the superhumanly attractive giant of a man?? 🤭

The interaction with Tanjiro is super interesting and I think it’s hilarious how Tengen let slip the location of Reader’s residence so many times. Would Reader then end up meeting with Tanjiro alone? Without Michikatsu?

And Sanemi’s wedding!!! I actually really, really enjoyed reading that extract! I LOVE the way you wrote it. I think you chose some really cool descriptions to describe the affair!

And the interaction at the end between Reader and Sanemi… my breath hitched in anticipation! And to have it end on that note, with Sanemi saying this remark… I thought it was brilliant. And you know what? As I read it, I thought… you know what? Sanemi would say that. (Also the detail of Reader resembling Shinobu and Sanemi clocking that was fascinating. I wonder what Reader’s relationship with the rest of the butterfly girls was/is like.)

(Also, since Michikatsu takes care of Amato during the wedding… do you think he gets on well with children? Or rather, that he enjoys their company?)

Can I also give a special shout-out to your writing in general? I think you’re currently my favourite writer on Tumblr. I really enjoy reading your writing style. You use some of the most mature, thought-stimulating imagery in the most effective of ways. I love that plotting seems to come easy to you. I love how your writing reflects how observant you are about the world. I love how you’re able clearly and distinguishably grant each character their own special essence, making all of them feel distinct and different.

Whenever I read your continuations of ‘Notte Stellata’, I always get super excited. I think it may be one of the most memorable fan fictions I’ve ever read? I read it weeks ago and I keep on thinking about it. You’re actually the only reason why I check Tumblr in the first place — I don’t have any reason to be on here otherwise.

Thank you for writing these brilliant extracts and for indulging us in making us learn more about the wonderful world of this story.

Oh gosh, Anon — you're far too kind and thoughtful with your responses too! (And I apologise for getting to your Ask this late; each of your questions were too good for me to give a simple reply!)

First of all, I'm glad that you liked the excerpt! I certainly did enjoy imagining the various scenarios and what exactly Michikatsu would do in this strange new world; as I mentioned in a different Ask, I did wonder if he would be a kendo instructor, or perhaps a craftsman, but somehow, a librarian/bookstore assistant felt the most true to my interpretation of Kokushibo.

I would imaging the bookstore owner, Tanaka-san as being quite kindly and lenient to his new assistant; Kokushibo could lose himself for hours in a book, especially if it is one he has not read. While Western books began to be imported into Japan during the Kyoho era of Tokugawa Yoshimune's reign, he did not have the time to fully appreciate them then, being so occupied with refining his swordsmanship. Now, he, as a human, he finds himself occasionally distracted by the occasional foreign title: The Sorrows of Young Werther, Cartesian metaphysics, and even a sprinkle of fables and fairytales. He is intrigued by the foreign language and distant environs, and their morals which seem at once familiar yet alien; occasionally, Tanaka-san allows him to bring them home, and the Reader would find him in their sitting room, seated by the candelight, with his book propped on the reading stand and a cup of tea beside him.

It is an endearing sight to behold; his grand stature towering over the stand which seems almost miniature in comparison. He does not even notice the Reader coming into the room, and settling down beside him to steal a glance at what has him so engrossed.

"It's getting late," you remarked, leaning your head on his shoulder. Michikatsu keeps his eyes on the page as he extended an arm around your waist, tugging you flushed against his side.

"Just one more chapter," he murmured, turning the page. He does not notice you gazing up at him, taking in his profile and the way his lashes cast a slanted shadow across his cheek. In the candle's glow, he looked serene and contemplative, his expression a touch softer than when he was seated before a Go board.

His appearance at the bookstore, of course, draws many curious eyes, who at first believed Michikatsu to be a bodyguard hired to ward off shoplifters. While he did not speak much, leaving the socialising and idle chatter to Tanaka-san, it was difficult for one to ignore his presence.

The children, in particular, seemed taken by his appearance; at first, they were intimidated by Michikatsu's height and quiet nature, preferring to spy on him while he went about his tasks. And for most part, he was fine with them looking at him; in his past he had been a father after all, and he did not think it strange to help them if needed.

"You go first." Michikatsu heard a hushed whisper while he unpacked a stack of old books for the rental section.

"No, you go first!" another voice argued. "You lost the bet, remember?"

"Yeah, go for it, Gen!" egged another.

Michikatsu pretended to be absorbed in his work even as he spied one of the children — Gen, no doubt — emerging from their corner. The little boy swallowed thickly as he shuffled forward, bumping his index fingers together as he asked:

"Uh... mister," he started, looking at Michikatsu. Flicking his eyes downward, he saw Gen take a step back as if in alarm, but the young boy persisted, jutting a chubby finger at the tail of his long hair, where silky black gave way to tips of scarlet "Is, uh, your hair — is it real?"

Michikatsu placed the books down, before nodding: "Yes, it is."

"He speaks!" one of the remaining two would exclaim, before running out of the store in a gaggles of giggles. Gen cried in alarm as he was left behind, the lollipop in his hand nearly falling out of his grasp while he chased his friends down the corner.

Looking with amusement at their small, disappearing backs as they hot-footed down the streets, Michikatsu wondered — with a small, pensive smile — when the time would come for him to look on at his children with you.

This was only one such encounter Michikatsu had at the bookstore — one he did not mind, especially when compared to the other: the older ladies who also heard about a young man working for Tanaka-san, and gained a sudden interest in the works of Murasaki Shikibu and Ono no Komachi.

"My, aren't you a tall one!" they marvelled.

Most of the time, Michikatsu was more than happy to help the older ladies with their romance novels and poems on the top shelf — the townsfolk, it seemed, were endlessly enamoured of his height. And if they had any questions about his scars, and curiously sharp canines, they made no comment, preferring to steer the conversation quickly to other more pressing topics:

"Are you married, young man? I happen to know a charming young lady who would make a very lovely wife for you," they asked.

Michikatsu arched a single, sardonic brow, but kept his eyes firmly on the books as he arranged all six volumes of the Kojidan. "Yes."

"Oh, and what does she do for a living?" they pressed. "Or does she tend to the household?"

Nothing of your concern, was the reply that came most naturally to him. Instead, he offered: "She paints. Occasionally."

"Ah, an artist," they said, a note of derision masked behind a thin veneer of courtesy.

In a different time, Michikatsu would have been unaffected by their tone, but at the moment a spark of irritation flared in his chest, and he was compelled to add:

"Yes, and a rather splendid one."

It is at this point that the doors to the bookstore open with the faint twinkle of chimes, and you, carrying a roll of kimono and a box wrapped in a furoshiki of green and black checks, floated in, looking a little windswept and out of breath.

"Tanaka-san," you greeted, settling the box down on his counter. "I hope I'm not bothering you."

"Of course not!" the old man said, peering over his newspaper to search for Kokushibo. "He should be down the third aisle."

You nodded with a polite grin, ready to set off, but Michikatsu surprised you by emerging first. He wore a cryptic expression as he paced towards you in long strides, before suddenly picking up your hand.

"My dearest," he said by way of greeting, kissing each of your knuckles with a firm press of his warm lips. Your eyes are as wide as saucers as you blinked in confusion at the very sudden, very public show of affection; Michikatsu was a generous lover, yes — but only in private where only you knew the depth of his passions.

"D-danna-sama?" you stuttered, a little lost for words as Tanaka-san chuckled behind his papers. Had he been reading too many of those Western novels? Sordid tales from the likes of Moll Flanders and Don Juan?

Then, you spied a small shape emerging from the aisle — a middle-aged lady dressed in Western clothes, who seemed rather annoyed with Michikatsu. Glancing up at your husband, you enquired with your eyes as to what happened, but he only smiled, and remained silent.

"And what is that?" Michikatsu asked, casting his eyes toward the box.

"Oh," you said, and elaborated no further.

Because, by another strange twist of fate, the Reader had bumped into Kamado Tanjiro whilst collecting Michikatsu's new clothes from the kimono store.

After sending her reply to Tanjiro, the Reader had casted aside her worries about visiting the young man as she fretted over other important matters: making pickles for the winter, registering Michikatsu's name at the city hall — a small part of her, perhaps, wondered if Tanjiro had dropped the matter as she did not receive further correspondence from the young man.

What she did not expect, however, was someone calling her name the moment she emerged from the kimono store with Michikatsu's new clothes bundled in her arms.

Turning around, you came face to face with Kamado Tanjiro, who waved his wasted, shrunken arm with enthusiasm as he bounded towards you. The alarm bells clanging in your head drowned out his greeting while you eyes darted around the vicinity for any place to which you could excuse herself — the bank, perhaps? Or the apothecary?

You were ashamed of yourself for avoiding Tanjiro like this, truly — but the young man, who now stood before you, breathless as he puffed small clouds of fog, was as jovial as ever. He asked: "It's so nice to meetyou here! I was just wondering if I should visit your place some time this week?"

"You were?" you asked, instead of returning his greeting. Your knuckles were white as you tightened your grip on Michikatsu's clothes, but you stretched your lips in a tight, polite grin nonetheless.

Tanjiro nodded, and scratched the scar on his forehead absent-mindedly. "But I suppose that would be a little rude of me, wouldn't it?"

"Ah, well..." you said, unsure of what to say even if you did agree with him. Tanjiro spied the fabrics you were carrying — the dark colours, the masculine, geometric designs. There was little mystery as to who these clothes were meant for; it was common knowledge that you were orphaned and had been living alone until your "illness", as Lady Amane had so kindly told them. You gulped as he looked up at you.

"I hope I'm not intruding," Tanjiro began, as you waited with bated breath for his next sentence. "But I'm just glad that you're doing well, especially since we heard so little about what happened to you before-"

Just then, a young woman, petite and dainty, bounded to Tanjiro's side. With a start, you realised that it was Tsuyuri Kanao — she was dressed in a pink kimono embroidered with small white flowers, with a matching kanzashi that tinkered as she looked lovingly at Tanjiro. Uzui had spoken of an engagement between the two, but it had been so long since you had seen her that the couple still came as a surprised to you.

The stiff smile in your cheeks gave way to something more natural, and you found yourself saying: "Kanao-chan — I hope all is well with you?"

"Senpai," Kanao answered, and you were surprised to hear her soft but strong voice, for she has never spoken to you at the Butterfly Mansion. "It's wonderful seeing you again."

"Kanao-chan and I will be getting married next fall," Tanjiro explained. "It would be great if you could come. It's not special, of course, and it would be held at the Butterfly Mansion with the others-"

"Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi would all be delighted to see you too," Kanao finished. "After all the lessons you gave them on drawing and watercolours. I think they would be pleased to show you their progress."

"Though, of course, if you're busy..." Tanjiro added, waving his bony hand in the direction of Michikatsu's clothes. At their warm words, you felt your grip loosened as well as you straightened yourself, and shook your head.

"No, I'll be there," you promised, looking at each of their young faces, and feeling a clench in your chest as you meet Kanao's clouded eyes and Tanjiro's sightless one on his right. After all that did Shinobu did for you, this was the only thing you could — should — do, for the both of them in return. "With my husband."

And perhaps Tanjiro might known it all along, and was only waiting for you reveal — as he had always been a considerate soul — there was a knowing gleam in his eye as he matched his smile with yours, and nodded.

Then, suddenly and rather flustered, he asked if Kanao had something they could give you; and despite your best efforts to reject their gift, Tanjiro pushed a small heavy box into your hand, claiming that it was nothing much, but that he wished you would enjoy this small gesture.

At present, Michikatsu surveyed the bento, unknotting the cloth and lifting the lid. You watched his expression closely as he gazed at its contents, taking a small sniff.

"Tara-no-me," he observed, closing the box with a small grimace. "They're rare around this time of the year."

"You can still find them in the mountains if you know where to look," shared Tanaka-san from behind his papers. "It's rather green and bitter, but very delicious if prepared well."

Michikatsu frowned as he tied the cloth around the pot. Then, ever so slightly, he pushed the box in your direction, letting you know that he would not be eating it.

"Sounds wonderful to me," you remarked, hoisting the box back in your arms.

I hope this answers your question, Anon! Sorry if it was a little bit of a hodgepodge, but I couldn't resist writing a little scene that mashed everything together instead of it being small separate parts~ Your questions were truly thoughtful and I'm so glad that you took the time to consider my writing! I'm always happy to write more for Koku and the Reader ☺️

'tis the day of the valentine's, the day of hearts, roses, and romance but is it a day for everyone to go to the cinema with their lover, or on a walk in the sunset?

Not necessarily. Being aroace, seeing how much romance and sex is put on a very high pedestal is annoying to say the least. Seeing how romantic love is the only is the only important kind. Platonic love not being mentioned at all.

Not only is seeing amato - and allonormativity annoying, but the way it's capitalised and in your face (I'm looking at you white and pink balloons) is a new level.

Having very few, and not very close irl friends, deprives of the possibility to do something platonic, making the things I mentioned stick out, and sting even more.

Besides that, love should be shown all through the year, there's no need in my opinion for a special day, especially not such an advertised one.

So, what's an aro's perspective on valentine's? It's overplayed, over advertised, over capitalised, is there any harm with it? Not really, but have it be equal between romantic and platonic love, don't shove it in people's faces.

[coollyinterferes]

//I hadn't been here since around the time the Jojo Musical came out and before they livestreamed it, so I don't know how people feels about it?? or if it is even known here or something??? HOWEVERRRR, I need to mention this now that both Tattoo and Kenpo Fighter (Speedwagon's Ogre Street friends that appear in the anime) got official names in the Musical!! And so, I'll be using their now official names for them, those names being:

Tattoo = Cronin Kenpo Fighter = Amato (yes, both of them have been confirmed to be REO Speedwagon references and to have been approved by Araki himself!)

I'll still be using and adapting them to the headcanon names I had given them originally here, I just need to work out the details first lol. But yeah, that's what will be happening there with the Ogre Street boys.

[screwzara]

Ok What If....

Amato and his wife just weren't there after bbb was born like they went missing/died or some shit and mechabot got left behind or something?

I imagine the robots in Kota Hilir would be worried about bbb constantly(like c'mon it's clear the robots care a lot about this kid) and mechabot would probably get really protective. Idk if mechabot would stay in Kota Hilir with the other robots or go with bbb(probably the latter becuz, trauma and another thing that i don't have the word for rn, the bot basically lost it's master again in both cases i mentioned. The least it can do is protect its master's/..friend's offspring spawn child)

Oh, and bbb meeting Ochobot for the first time will go so differently if mechabot actually stayed with bbb at Rintis island not only because this would be a chance encounter through and through but mechabot would probably not let Ochobot stay with bbb unless Ochobot did something that proved there was no danger for bbb(it be protective) plus the fact that a power sphere *cough* the destruction power sphere mechabot *cough* is present would be enough to make a big statement about this family in particular(not that helpful in mechabot's hypothetical mission to protect bbb at all costs so)

Also technically speaking, if we go down the missing route the mechanizer never came back to mechabot since technically(I'm guessing here) Amato didn't die like mechabot's previous master so it is kinda safe ig from being forced to harm others(unless they have a different device that allows that)

Going down the death path, however would imply that bbb and his friends would have to deal with the looming threat of someone trying to take mechabot and becoming it's new master which Tok Aba already knows will lead to a lot of problems if that person/alien happens to be bad(which is rather likely) and the risk of Ochobot getting stolen is there too

How would this change affect bbb?

I feel like I'm trying to make things more hectic and complicated for boboiboy, his family(Tok Aba only in the context of this post) and his friends :')

Tell me what u think would happen cuz this thought just struck me-

Edit: Next part to the post *screams internally cuz there is already a reblog for this post and i didn't add this link before*

[vanillaxoshi]

Speaking of Amato’s wifi, ain’t it canon that his wifi sucks whenever he and Oboi are having online face time together??

There was a “Pic of the Day” post that mentioned that but I forgot which one that is and I’m not so sure if it is canon so take it when a bucket of salt

But for now in the Streamer AU, I’m choosing to believe that Amato got that NASA-grade wifi just to see his cute sons stream in 4K Ultra HD

Cuz I would too ngl also hell probs overheated multiple times whenever there is a TTM stream cuz Api and Angin are nawt a good combo in a kitchen setting especially if you include a very much flammable plant boyo

- Duri Stan Anon (Solar probably evacuates the entire house whenever these three are there or already got the fire brigade or Air on speed dial HAHAHHAH)

Nice to know Amato has bad wifi

But upgraded it just for this au

Angin tbh would be in his own world cooking thats hes not paying attention to whatever Api will do

Especially since hes deaf and Apis mute and Daun being blind is not gonna be great

So someone should def be on standby

About my post, Sam Claflin and toxic fandom

Recently I posted about chemistry and Sam Claflin...

And some of people anonimally OFC asked me, attacking, to tell me why i didnt included this one (Shailene woodley and Holliday Grainger) why i didnt included the ex wife...😩😳 Like you know It was about on screen and interviews chemistry right?? As far as i know 1- they haven't worked together, 2 Its fictional chemistry you weirdos !!! and 3- they are divorced for like 4-5 years now??! 4- Fiction is not reality?? You are weird...

If It was about reality , I would have included Cassie Amato, the official girlfriend™ right now, to whom we Sam's girlies should be eternally thankfull, because she post a lot of good content about Sam (Ken Sam, Italy travel, tiktoks...etc) God bless her!!!! If he was my boyfriend I would post a lot about him too. She is real for that!

To the weirdos trolls..whatever you are...

I just posted my OPINION, if you dont like, then dont fucking read or comment It, I either didnt answer or directly blocked. I wont fight, I say it at the beggining of my blog: hate and trolling wont be anwered just blocked. Period.

I also received some very surprising nasty ones coming from CamiBilly fans attacking Riley, that I wont reproduce here, because, unlike them, as a catholic I've been raised to respect Dead people memories and not insult them (Read It the way you wanna to know the type of the insults against Riley and Riley's family) also saying that I cant like both DaisyBilly and CamiBilly also very nastily and so on...🙄 And I complained about X / Twitter hate , how naive i was!!! Anonimity here at Tumblr does wonders too (derogatory).

Just like what happened with Twilight, they'll make me choose sides just with their cunt energy, tbh (Team Jacob fans werent much better) no one in DaisyBilly side has been mean to me so far...CamiBilly has, and they are making me seriously starting to just ship DaisyBilly (for my mental health tbh) no one in that side of the fandom has come at me with all that shit...And they have been nice so far...For such a little fandom ship, I hoped you CamiBilly people would be far nicer, being the unfairly marginalized of DJATS fandom..I was wrong...

Except @jesstasticvoyage @svvy2003 @camiladnne @starsandmovies + the other normal CamiBilly shippers out there that I probably dont know...you all are Angels and i am (and Will be) thrilled to interact with you ! :) You didn't deserve the misadaptation of you ship, for real.

On a positive note and To answer @starsandmovies ask:

Tumblr doesn't let me answer your question the normal way, I dont know why, but It just doesn't let me...So i'm answering you via this mention! Hope you dont mind 😊😅 : i just included the romantic chemistry , not the (to me also sexual) frienship one, I am working on a chemistry with Sam part II with frienship / weird romantic / sexual chemistry included...That one Will exist mentioning both Jen and Jena, no worry!! 😊👋.

Bye!!

[the-sea-anemone]

i think i've mentioned before that i work at a senior's residence, which is generally a pretty hetero/cis/amato/ect-normative type of place — not in the sense that i've encountered anyone being actively bigoted but in a training materials still use "he or she" instead of "they," assume everyone has or wants an opposite gender straight partner, i keep hearing about the intrinsic differences between men and women type of way. unideal, but not surprising, and also not the point of this post.

what is the point of this post is that for some reason whenever this happens my instinctive response is (in my head) "holy heteronormativity, batman!"

[beardedmrbean]

A transgender woman said she was disqualified from running for a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives because she did not disclose her former name.

Vanessa Joy, 42, a real estate photographer, had hoped to run as a Democrat and represent Ohio House District 50. That hope came to a premature end when she failed to include her former name, or what’s sometimes referred to as a “deadname,” the name a trans person was given at birth and no longer uses after their gender transition.

Ohio law requires people running for political office who have changed their name within the last five years to include their former names on candidacy petitions. The law exempts people who have changed their name because of marriage, but it does not mention exemptions for trans people who have changed their names. Joy said she was unaware of the law until her disqualification.

“It’s a barrier to entry for many trans and gender-nonconforming people,” Joy told NBC News on Thursday. “Where I personally would have just bit the bullet and allowed my deadname to be on the petitions and likely on the ballot, for a lot of trans people, they don’t want their deadnames printed. It’s a safety concern for many.”

A spokesperson for Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, Melanie Amato, said her office was aware that a candidate was disqualified in Stark County — where Joy submitted her petition to run — and suggested the disqualification was warranted.

"The law applies to everyone," LaRose said in an email. "It is cynical and unfair to criticize the Stark County Board of Elections for their unanimous and bipartisan decision to follow Ohio law."

Joy's disqualification comes days after the state made national headlines over transgender issues.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, vetoed a GOP-backed bill last week that would have restricted both transition-related care for minors and transgender girls’ participation on school sports teams. Joy noted that her stepfather, Ohio state Rep. Bill Roemer, a Republican, voted for the legislation.

DeWine’s veto was criticized by some Republicans in the state and beyond, including former President Donald Trump.

“DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. “No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won’t be introducing him any more. I’m finished with this ‘stiff.’ What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!”

The veto is expected to be challenged by Ohio lawmakers in coming weeks.

Three other transgender candidates filed to run for the state Legislature last month, according to local outlet Cleveland.com. If any of these prospective candidates were to make it to the general election and win, they’d be the first trans state lawmaker in Ohio.  

Currently, there is only one trans elected official serving in the state — Dion Manley, a school board member in Gahanna, a Columbus suburb — according to the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute, a political body that aims to elect LGBTQ to public office. There are 51 elected officials across the country who identify as trans women, trans men or trans nonbinary people, with eight serving in state legislatures and none serving at the federal level, according to the institute.

“I wanted to give millennials, Gen X and Gen Z the courage to get out and vote and to run for office themselves,” Joy said. “Because if they see a trans girl from very red Ohio running for public office, in a chamber full of people who despise me for my existence, they might have more courage to get out and vote and see that ‘maybe my vote will make a difference.’”

Joy said she filed a petition Thursday to contest her disqualification.

Eternity

YuuMori x Boboiboy crossover

They only manage to explore 1 over 3 parts of the mansion before dinner. Ryan has come and brings them to the dining room at the moment, and they wonder how he knows their current location. 

When they arrive, Amato is already there, waiting for them with a smile on his face. The three brothers bashfully take their seats where the meals are placed. 

As they eat, William and Louis' eyes lighten up at the delicious taste of the steaks. Back in Moriarty's territory, they only got leftovers from the family's meal, which leads to their skinny figure. 

"So how's your touring?" The oldest man asks, starting a conversation. Albert swallows his food and replies. "We only managed to explore a bit. Luckily Ryan came and led our way here, or else we'll be lost." He scratches his cheek. 

Amato laughs at his words. "Well, I guess tomorrow my sons can give you a proper tour." William lowers his hands at the mention of Amato's sons. He raises his head and smiles at the man. 

"Pardon me, Mr. Ama—" 

"Dad," 

William coughs. 

"Pardon me, um…Dad…" he averts his eyes away, embarrassed. "May I ask about your sons?"

"You mean your brothers?" 

"...Yes," he says awkwardly as Amato smiles. "I have seven sons in total. They look identical… sometimes I mistook one of them with another. The only difference is their eyes and their favourite colours." He puts his utensils down and holds a finger up. "The oldest is 16 years old, two years older than you, Albert." He grins at the teen. "The second one is 15, and the third is 14. The other four are twins, a pair 12 years old and another is 10 years old. All of them are gifted, you know?" 

William blinks his eyes in awe. "What a big family," he comments. 

"...won't we trouble you?" 

Their eyes land on Louis, who is looking down. "You already have seven kids to take care of.. wouldn't taking us three into your house add the burden?" 

His question makes both William and Albert tense up. Louis has a point. True, they're searching for someone that can accept them like Amato does, but they don't want to trouble a kind man like him. 

Amato stares at him silently before standing up, flinching Louis as he walks towards the younger blonde. He lowers his head even more until Amato reaches him. 

Amato occupies the empty seat beside Louis and takes his hands gently. "Who says you're a burden, Louis?" His question makes Louis snap his head and finally looks at him. "William, Albert, do you see yourself as a burden too?" He looks at the two. 

Getting no answer, Amato breaths out a sigh before offering them a kind smile. "I was asked this question when I said I want to adopt you." He mutters, "Do you want to hear my answer?" Louis stares at him silently before nodding his head. 

"I want to give these children a family." 

Their hearts skip a beat at his words. "I am a man who wants a big family. Even if I have hundreds of children in this house, I would still adopt you. Everyone deserves a family, Louis. I know what those nobles had done to you." They flinch at the revelation. "But trust me, I'm nothing like them. I.. want to create a new world. And I'm sure we share the same world that we desire. Am I right, William? Albert?" 

He gestures to them to come over, which they oblique. "You're children with dreams that I want to protect. That I want to love," he caresses Albert's cheek gently, his thumb brushes under the teen's emerald eyes. 

That's when he knows, he is crying. 

Louis gets off from his chair and stands beside William who is in the middle. "I would never see you as a burden. So please don't say that again, Louis." He squeezes the smaller hand gently. 

"I will try my best to fulfil the empty role of your parents," 

Those 13 words are enough to break them. Amato brings them into his embrace as Albert grips his sleeve shakily while Louis holds his hand tight. 

William closes his eyes as he lets the warmth engulf him. At the same, he opens his heart to accept this man in his life. 

"I'll be away for a week, but the brothers will be around starting tonight. You don't have to wait for them, okay?" Amato kneels to their height as they are about to part their ways. He then looks at each face. "You don't have to worry about them. They will welcome you with warmth just like I do," he assures them with a smile. 

William returns the smile and tilts his head to the side. "We'll keep that in mind. Thank you, dad." Amato grins and ruffles his hair gently before doing the same to Albert and Louis. 

"See you in a week, Dad." Albert bids his farewell as Louis smiles at the man. 

"Good bye, kids. Sleep well for tonight, because tomorrow will be a whole new chaotic day for you. I hope you won't get too shocked by their attics." He says jokingly. 

Or they take it as a joke. 

The next morning…

A knock on the door wakes the two blondes up as Ryan's voice is heard. "Good morning, young lords. The breakfast will be prepared in five minutes, so prepare yourselves." 

William yawns softly before replying. "Alright, thank you, Ryan." He then taps Louis' shoulder gently. "Louis. Wake up, brother." The younger blonde stirs before opening his eyes. His brother smiles at him, "We should get prepared for breakfast. Come on," 

After a while, they pass by Albert's chamber, just as he gets out of his room. "Albert nii-san," William greets, which he earns a smile. "Good morning, William, Louis," the blonde brothers nod their head at him. "Let's walk to the dining room together." 

As they walk, Albert asks them a question. "How did you sleep?" William hums, "We slept well, Albert nii-san." He smiles. "What about you?" 

They turn to the left, towards the dining room. "I slept well too—" 

"The first one to reach the dining room wins!!" 

Startled by the new voice, the three brothers turn around, only to see two different-coloured blurs running towards them. 

"!?" Albert manages to catch a glimpse of orange eyes before the owner of those orbs bumps into him, making him fall on his back. 

"Albert nii-san!" William rushes to him in worry as footsteps approach them. 

"Sorry, Ryan!" An identical voice is heard as footsteps approach them. "Are you okay—wait, you're not Ryan." A pair of icy blue eyes stare at them with curiosity. 

Another voice is heard, "Of course he's not, Ryan is much taller than him." A shorter figure mutters, his silver eyes examine them up and down. "Anyways, are you okay?" He asks, his face is blank but his tone holds concern. 

The silver one reaches his hand out for Albert to take, which he did. "I'm sorry for my brothers' behaviour. I hope you're not injured," he apologises. 

Albert smiles and shakes his head. "I'm not hurt, thankfully." He assures, before eyeing the two unfamiliar boys with wonder. "And you are…?" 

"Call me Solar." The young lad introduces himself. "This is my brother too, we call him Ice." He says, referring to the icy blue eyed teen. 

William examines the two brothers silently. They have identical dark brown hair with a white streak that reminds him of Amato. He snaps his finger in realisation. 

"Ah.. Are you—" 

Solar, the younger brunette cut him off. "Yes, we're Amato's children." He reveals. "The other two are mine and Ice's twins. They're quite… troublesome. I hope you'll excuse their childish behaviour."

Albert smiles assuringly. "We don't mind it at all," Solar nods his head. "Now, why don't we walk to the dining room together?" 

The Moriarty brothers agree to his request. They walk behind the two brunettes as William's brain starts to think. 

'Solar.. seems to be the youngest. Then one of the two kids that ran past us must be his twin, same with Ice.' He hums in his head. 'We met the four youngest. So that means the three oldest must be there already.' 

Ice pushes the door of the dining room and enters, Solar and the three brothers follow suit. There, four figures are already seated at their respective seats. 

All of them have identical hair, but different eye colours. Starting from the start of the dining table, an older figure sits with his arms crossed. He has a pair of scarlet eyes, matching with William and Louis. He has an edgy look, and he seems to be mature. Beside him, a teen with a pair of sky blue eyes is talking to him. Unlike the latter, he has a cheerful smile on his lips. 

Across the sky blue eyed teen is a younger kid with a pair of fiery orange eyes; the one that bumped into Albert just now. At the other side of the blue eyed teen is another small figure, same with Solar's, with a pair of emerald eyes, matching with Albert's. 

The blue eyed teen is the first one to notice their presence. "Solar, Ice! Good morning!" He greets them before his eyes land on the three brothers. 

His eyes widen at the sight of them, making them nervous. He stands up and walks towards them with a wide grin. 

"Oh my, you must be our new brothers! Welcome, welcome!" He gestures to them to take a seat. 

Ice has already taken a seat beside the orange eyed kid while Solar sits beside the emerald one. Albert takes a seat beside Solar while William occupies the empty seat beside Ice, which is across the silver eyed kid. Louis silently sits beside him. 

The blue eyed one gets back to his seat, "Let's wait for Quake first, then we'll introduce ourselves, okay?" He clasps his hands gleefully. 

"Before that," Solar says, earning their attention. "Blaze, apologise. You bumped into our new brother and don't even apologise to him." Despite being the one of the youngest, he manages to say it sternly at his older brother. 

"Huh, I did?" The fiery orange eyed teen is confused. Ice sighs and nods his head. "The one that you bumped into is not Ryan, but him." He gestures to Albert, who smiles awkwardly. 

"Wait, really?! I'm sorry!" He apologises immediately. Albert shakes his hand in the air, saying that it's fine. "It's okay, you were playing. It was an accident," 

"What accident?" 

A new but familiar voice joins in. They turn to the door from the pantries, revealing another teen holding a tray of food with the very same brown hair with white streak. What stands out the most about him and catches William's attention is his breathtaking golden eyes. 

"Quake!" Both Blaze and the sky blue eyed teen exclaims but in two different tones; one in shock and concern. "Let me help you, those look heavy." He takes the tray from the golden eyed teen who smiles at him. "Thanks, Cy. And what accident are you talking about?" He asks, eyeing every face around the table. 

His eyes stop at three new faces before widening them, a smile immediately creeping into his pretty face. "Ah, you must be Albert, William and Louis! Welcome to our home!" He grins and walks to his seat. 

After getting their breakfast, the blue eyed teen; Cy, breaks the silence. "How about you three introduce yourselves?" He suggests with a smile on his face. 

Albert looks at him and gives him the same smile. "Very well," He straightens up himself as he looks at each face. "My name is Albert James Moriarty. Those are my brothers," He refers to the two blondes. "William and Louis James Moriarty." 

William gives the seven brothers a smile while Louis nods his head as his greetings. Cy cooes at them, "How cute! Both of you look like kittens!" He says with glee, and they are dumbfounded. 

"It's our turn now. Let's start with the oldest," Cy looks at the scarlet eyed teen. That gesture is enough for William to guess from the oldest to the youngest. 

The oldest brother closes his eyes and wipes his mouth using a tissue paper before he finally speaks. "I'm Thunderstorm. You can call me Thunder," he says as he opens his eyes to look at the newcomers. "Welcome to our home. From now on, I am your brother," His face is cold, but his tone is warm. 

'Thunderstorm? As if, a thunderstorm?' William wonders.

"Now it's my turn!" Cy clasps his hands. "Call me Cyclone or Cy. Nice to have you here, brothers!" He exclaims cheerfully, making them blush at the last word. The golden eyed one then waves his hand, "I'm Quake. If you have any problems, don't be shy and come to me, okay?" He smiles gently. 

The teen beside Quake then grins excitedly as he points his finger to his chest. "I'm Blaze! The bravest out of all!" He exclaims with confidence before pointing his finger at a sleeping Ice. Wait—

"This is Ice. Don't mind him, he likes to sleep a lot." Blaze deadpans. Across Ice, the one with emerald orbs raises his hands cheerfully. "Me! Me! I'm Thorn! Hee hee! I can't wait to play with you!" He says with glee. 

Then, all of them turn to Solar. 

"...You already know my name," he closes his eyes. "But nice to have you here, I guess." Quake frowns at his youngest brother. "Solar, don't be rude." The said boy sighs, but says nothing. 

William looks at Solar who is sitting across him, his scarlet eyes examining him silently. Out of the seven brothers, he finds Solar as the smartest out of them, despite being the youngest. 

The silver eyes of him suddenly glance up and lock with his scarlet ones, catching him off guard. A smirk makes its way to his lips as Solar looks at him slyly. "What? Am I that attractive that you keep staring at me?" 

A scoff is heard from the other side of the table, making them look at Thunderstorm. "Hah. As if, you brat." Solar glares at him before letting out a huff. "Shut up, Thunder." 

'No honorifics?' Albert questions in his head. 

"No fighting in front of the meals." Quake says sternly, which manages to quiet down the table. "So, Albert, William and Louis, how was your first night here?" He asks, smiling politely at them. 

Albert offers to answer his question. "It was great, thank you." He returns the smile. "I'm glad to hear that," Quake hums. 

The conversation continues with Quake asking questions and Albert answering them, and sometimes William replies on his behalf while Louis doesn't speak at all. Cyclone, Blaze and Thorn also join the chit chatting. 

Solar excuses himself first as he finishes his breakfast, then Thunderstorm. Not long after that, Quake asks Blaze to take Ice to their shared room as the icy eyed teen almost falls from his seat. Thorn also has left, saying that he needs to water his plants.

"I'm going to help Ryan with the dishes," Quake then excuses himself, and his words slightly shocked the three brothers. Cyclone notices their surprise and smiles softly at them. "Don't mind him, Quake always like that. He's a helpful person," he assures. 

"So, what do you want to do now, brothers?" Cyclone asks. William puts his hand under his chin as he hums. "We still haven't finished touring…" the brunette then claps his hands. 

"Let's give you some touring then!"
