Toastie!!! Hiiii!!!

Thank u for tagging me!!!

Okay I have a lot to share and thanks for giving me an opportunity to ramble and put my thoughts together so lets begin hehe

Last song - Fruits candy by Megumi kojima. I love Cardcaptors sakura and I seek that nostalgia often through this 90s jpop song. Life feels simple and the rhythm is stuck in my head like a loop!

Favorite color

Pink and purple/violet.

Last Book

We have always lived in that castle by Shirley jackson. So I was challenging myself to read some books for spookytober. And also something clicked in me with it's subtle parallels to monster's Leibert twins and Blackwood sisters.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere of this book of isolation of two sisters from surrounding world and how the home feels like a safe haven and an escape but caught in ghosts of the past in the house. A great psychological/horror genre.

Last Movie

I have been in a slump after watching a few movies of Japanese period fiction. It's all thanks to kaze hikaru, my love for chanbara/sword fights genre has come into forefront and I leaped into old japanese period films after Long..and discovered many gems.

So I think the last one was months ago, A geisha (1953) by Kenji mizoguchi. Stories of women of times, the geisha culture praised and lauded or seen through a rose tint glass, this speaks the story of two women who try to stand up against the norms that don't protect the rights and exploit women in name of culture upholding..

Unpleasant things no one tells or talks about.

Last TV show

Been few months since I invested in watching a TV show lmao my attention span is shit. I did speed run at 1.5x of Monster anime. Phenomenal. 7 years later revisting this seires and its stellar, all the more praise worthy!! A perfect adaptation of manga in 74 episodes. If you ever have time and feel like sitting for a noir style anime, a psychological thriller of slow burn then this is it!

Atmosphere, story, characters 10/10. This made my October Brain rot.

Sweet/spicy/savoury

I'm torn between spicey and sweet..., let's go with sweet atm! I'm craving basundi as I type lol

Relationship status

Single since forever lol

Last thing I googled

Lolita part 2 ch 2 summary. I get lost in the writing a lot of times and there's so much reading in between the lines.

Current obsession

Kagehina ☯️ ☀️ ⛰️

Monster by Naoki urasawa

Thing I'm looking forward to

Some financial stability lol

Ten people I'd like to know a bit better

I was tagged by @otakurooster907 and @thatfanficauthor107 (thank you both 🩷)

Last song: Defying gravity, from the Wicked musical (I'm so excited for the movie)

Favourite colour: it's that colour that is between pink and orange, like the sunset (as Peeta Mellark would say) or as if you were mixing the colours in the lesbian flag (as I would say)

Last book: Kafka on the Shore by Murakami, (I accidentally pictured Oshima as Suga the entire time)

Last movie: it was, once again, Inside by Bo Burnham, it's the perfect comedy special for when I feel like everything is going to shit, I can sing along while crying, and that's just beautiful.

Last tv show: I rewatched a the office episode yesterday, but I haven't watched anything new in a while :(

Sweet/spicy/savoury: sweet, but not too much. Sweet like dark chocolate, I'd say

Relationship status: single 5ever

Last thing I googled: "Xiaomi phone freezes reddit" because my phone keeps freezing, and I don't know what to do :(

Current obsession: which e-reader works the best on the web browser, because I have to buy one and I'd like to read ff from it without downloading the fics (if anyone has any advice I'll take anything)

Thing I'm looking forward to: the Wicked movie...

No pressure tags! @dellafloosh @this-is-krikkit @cosmorom @thegirlwhorideslikeasamurai @seijohsorbet @otabekisautistic and honestly whoever wants to do this! (I hope you don't hate me lol I've been tagging so many people lately)

hi! i see an author writes for the DOA, and i absolutely go bonkers. could you please write some HCs (or whatever's most convenient) about Nikolai and/or Sigma teaching someone how to tie their shoes? please i know it sounds so odd but i STILL don't know how to tie shoes. thank you!

𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨

Book : Nikolai | Sigma

Genre : Fluff, (implied) romance

Shelf : Leather-bound

Note : You absolutely can, dearie! I thought about making scenarios instead but I think it's more fun to make them hcs hehe 💗 i hope u enjoy! feel free to request another if u don't 👌🏻

Nikolai isn’t aware of your inability to tie shoe laces but he does notice how you always wear the type of shoes without laces since he’s secretly perceptive. He notices the variety of colours of your shoes for the day (it’s a habit of his because he pays close attention to his own clothes), things like that, and doesn’t make a big deal out of it.

Because he’s a playful fellow, jumping around here and there (quite literally), you have to be physically active to be around him, meaning you have to move (run) a lot which leads to the subject of your inability to be mentioned sooner or later.

When he thinks about it, he notices that you wear various types of shoes but never running shoes with laces, which he thinks is the best type for you to wear if you’re with him. You can’t keep wearing impractical shoes like loafers, heels, or even slippers if you want to keep up with his… terrorism antics.

“You can’t keep up with me with those shoes forever, dove!” Nikolai pulls both your hands while walking backwards so he can keep seeing your face. You tell him there aren’t any other shoes around there you can easily change into, and he offers the solution.

“Absolutely no problem!” Nikolai activates his Overcoat, dips his hand into the empty space, and takes out a pair of running shoes, hanging from his grip by the laces. “Here you go!”

While you hesitantly accept the brand new running shoes you’re sure he stole from somewhere, you admit that you don’t know how to tie the laces, which also explains why you never wear this type of shoes. Nikolai sees no problem with that and instead sees this as a fun opportunity to teach you something new.

To him, it feels like teaching a kid, which makes him feel elated because it fits his youthful personality.

“You should’ve told Gogol! I can teach you how!” He takes the shoes from you and gets on his knees. “Step out of your shoes for a while!”

Maybe too elated. He’s so enthusiastic about it that when he teaches you, his rambles would be a little too fast for you to keep up. Nikolai also uses magic show analogies, such as saying that the loops are bunny ears.

Nikolai teaches you a lot of hacks and styles he knows of, sometimes rambling off topic about how he discovered each of them, and then getting back on track with an “Oops! So, back to what I was saying~”

From your perspective, looking at Nikolai from above who shrinks into a crouch who's happily yapping about how to tie shoelaces, giving his personal hacks and favourite styles here and there, makes you feel adored. The enthusiasm in his voice is unmatched.

Make sure you listen carefully because when he’s done demonstrating, he asks you to do the other one yourself. When you kneel down to redo what he did while muttering his explanation, mentioning the same analogies, Nikolai watches you with hands on his cheeks and a big smile on your face as if he’s a child admiring his favourite TV show.

If you’re hesitant in the steps or forget how to do it halfway, he takes the initiative to help you by holding your hands in his to guide you, making sure that you’re following just fine.

When you get to the last step, which is to knot the loops, he tests you. “Pop quiz! What comes after making the bunny ears?” If you get the answer right, Nikolai would be so happy that you actually listen to him.

“Ding Ding, correct!”

After you finish tying it, Nikolai attacks you in a huge hug, pushing you off your feet till you roll on your back on the ground. “Aren’t you a fast learner? It’s so fun watching my own bunny tie a bunny ear knot! If you forget next time, ask Gogol to teach you!”

Bonus: if you start to wear shoes with laces around him more often, this sneaky clown will definitely try to trip you by stepping on the lace.

It’s the little things like this that he enjoys before finally achieving true freedom.

Sigma, although very perceptive and observant, is a busy man on a daily basis. He may notice what kind of shoes you wear daily since it’s his habit from running Sky Casino to observe everything, but he doesn’t really connect the dots on why you never wear shoes with laces.

After carefully choosing his words, he politely asks if the reason you never wear shoes with laces is because of financial problems, which he explains is something he can assist with.

“Or maybe it’s because you don’t like that kind of shoes?” Sigma thumbed his chin. “They’re usually flexible and comfortable to wear though,”

When you explain to him that it’s because you don’t know how to tie the laces, he nods slowly, processing your answer. Unlike Nikolai who sees this as an opportunity to have some fun with you, Sigma bears no particular opinion. Since he’s still a man who’s still learning about this world, he sees your inability as another normal thing that just, happens, with some people. If anything, he sees this as a chance to learn more about how people have diverse colourful aspects to them.

One day, he invites you over to his office and asks you to sit down, presenting a box of brand new laced shoes to you.

“I hope you don’t find this offensive, but if you’d like, I can teach you how to tie your shoelaces.” He scratches his cheek, nervously smiling. He’s hoping for you to say yes, and boy do those shoes look expensive.

Remember when I said Sigma doesn’t have any opinion about this? Maybe he does, and he only realized it when carefully picking those shoes for you. He’s looking forward and even was excited to teach you something he knows, since assisting those precious to him is what gives him a reason for existing.

If you agree to let him demonstrate how, Sigma kneels in front of you, posing like a prince from a children’s story, and places your heel on his thigh so you can perfectly see how it’s done from your seat (he’s a gentleman I love him).

Sigma teaches you the most straightforward shoelace tying method he knows, uses his most gentle voice, and makes sure you can keep up with his explanation and demonstration by occasionally asking if you’re still following.

He offers to teach more tricks and tips he learned from the internet when he first tried to learn tying his own laces. When he does this, his speech speeds up a bit and his smile grows, mirroring his enthusiasm.

Sigma secretly wants you to ask more things. Sigma has memorized the types of shoes with laces his customer in Sky Casino wears, why they wear that type, what kind of model fits certain types of people, and he’s excited to share his knowledge with you.

He makes sure that the knots on your new shoes are tightly done but not too strong around your foot.

“I made sure the size fits your feet before buying them, I hope your feet aren't hurting.” He fidgets.

Sigma asks if you’d like to tie the other one yourself or if you want him to repeat it. If you want to do it, he watches you and kindly offers corrections if you did a step wrong. If you want him to repeat his example, he’d be more than happy to.

Bonus: If you wear the shoes Sigma gifts you around Sky Casino, he’ll subtly blush and ask if they’re comfortable to wear (they better be, since he was careful in picking that pair) and whether you’re happy with how they look.

This has been in my mind for so long and I wanted to tell someone. I find you very friendly so I'll tell this to you.

I don't like the way the mainstream media addresses the speculation of Harry and Louis' relationship. They treat it as, speak of it as a silly fandom theory, or something that is middle school type with no weight. Why is that? Is it because it is mlm? Or is it because that is how the speculation started, like as a ship? I wonder do they ever research? Follow them, their schedules like they do with the stunts? It irks me a lot, because you guys spend a lot of time researching, learning new things doing big brain things (I love your big brain) to give a coherent writing.

When Harry was asked about SC, he was asked as "your relationship with Louis Tomlinson" which sounds much better than Louis being asked "Larry conspiracy" (what even was that?). I think I'm taking this personally. I think many of you have been used to it. Imma suck it up 😔

All I ask is treat with respect.

Hi! Thank you for your nice words and like choosing my inbox and all that lol, yey I'm friendly!

I'm gonna get into this because I also have stuff on my mind and I'm gonna tell you it right back, but I just wanna make clear that I'm not set on becoming a discourse blog haha. Everytime I answer asks like this it's met with more asks about such kinda things and although yeah I do have opinions I mainly wanna use this blog for my and your entertainment, and I feel like these kinda things dilute it loads and don't really result in bringing anyone much happiness at the end of the day. That said it's good to just write shit down to get them out of your mind (literally the reason I am here, but more in the sense of crazy SBB theories hehe) so let's just do that for a bit ;)

If it helps anything, I don't think the mainstream media has addressed this speculation in a good while. I might be forgetting things here but not since mid-2019 maybe? So two whole years? Of course you can do a quick search and find me a super recent "article" but the thing is that those are tiny tiny "news" nonsense websites, one of many that just recycle stories for clicks, and this conspiracy is a juicy one. If you're exposed to them you're either looking for them or are exposed to overactive baby larries not being able to distinguish types of sources. These kinda sites don't care it's right or wrong, sometimes I wonder if there are even people behind it or it's entirely automated lol. I mean it's a fasttrack to getting clicks here. It's something controversial about a big name celeb, and not just that, one that has a whole following that's gonna interact with posts like that. And that's all that matters. If you check what these kinda sources about anything else you will find many ridiculous and honestly hurtful claims about many celebrities. It's just recognizable name + shock factor = clickyclicky. It's bait, in this case, actual larrybait. (just to avoid this topic coming up again - I probably talk about whatever question this raises somewhere within this rant)

Ok this just kinda rambles on and instead of trying to make sure I don't repeat myself in an endless loop of nonsense I'm just gonna plomp in a cut and hit the post button and move on with my life so you're just gonna have to deal with that sorrryyyy

As for the things that did come from mainstream media before, a big difference between Louis being asked about the "Larry Organisation" and Harry about Sweet Creature is that I think Harry's interviewer was just naive and thought she just had a good question and there really wasn't much to it, like she full on expected him to have a little chuckle and go oh them silly fans no ofcourse not and was honestly confused when he just started channeling his inner horse for a good minute, but Louis' was a big ol setup for a denial, a classic The Sun Exclusive featuring the involvement of a bunch of punchable faces that had been shaping narratives around him for a good while. Like that one... pff it's so on the nose it's almost like they're making fun of their audience because really what the hell? If you want to have an example of a "presenter" telling you what opinion to have and what to think about what answer is gonna come up before the person even get's a chance to speek watch Dan Woototo talk before Louis brings up iPhone conspiracies.

Back to current times, I mean, there's no "narrative push", there's no outlet that's running the place (like The Sun or Mirror or TMZ) that's still pulling this shit. I'm talking the above kinda behavior. Yes there is a huge narrative push still, there's a push towards ho-ho-holivia, but no longer away from Larry as there has been in the past. I mean maybe they're saving it up for some kinda promo somehow, (Larrybait! Woo!) but call me hopeful, I do think it's in the past.

So yeah there still might be "media" that is part of the mainstream consensus bringing it up and treating it like a silly little theory, but that's based on news articles from years ago. And yeah that image is set, those narrative pushes that it's a conspiracy they're bothered with, that their friendship suffered from it and all that, that's out there now. That's the first thing you find then you start looking into this, when you somehow one way or another now become exposed to larry and start googling. That's what's being presented to us as how we should think and feel about this. And you know, most people aren't capable of spotting the way views are being shaped and just take whatever is spoonfed to them, like I'm sure there are many issues that I just take and swallow as they are presented to me that I don't realise have nuances to them (or are blatant lies even) that just don't have a grasp on whatsover, so who can blame them. But there are also many people that through whatever route have realised even the most credible sources are, how would you say, inclusive some form of agenda and purposefully add or lack nuance where there should or shouldn't have been, just because presenting it this way raises the least amount of questions, just because whoever is involved behind the scenes will have that result in the most comfortable / least problematic public response, just because writing this article that's full of bullshit was somehow better than another alternative for whatever reason. This is applicable to anything and everything, once you realise that everything revolves around money and isn't about honesty or the right thing to do, a whole lotta things are going to be put into perspective and start making sense. And I mean everything everything, I didn't necessarily write this with 2 people in love and having to hide it from the public in mind, because god that all sounds a bit much, but it is totally applicable there too. And I'm not tinhatting anything, this is like about the most basic little things, because there are nuances to things, nuances that if spelled out are just going to be misinterpreted by a large portion of the general public because let's face it we're just a bunch of idiots. As someone who has written articles (not to sound pretentious I'm just not finding a way to explain what I mean otherwise; and I mean research articles, absolutely not even close to the same things but perhaps similar in dealing with having to account for the "public"[in my case probably sad handful of specialists but ok]'s perception of your writing) it's totally a thing that you're gonna shape your story a certain way with maximum chances of the reader buying into your shit. In my case, it's not shit and I work very hard on making sure my claims are true (in, you know, actual research, not in my bullshit larry reaching because I can't and don't know that), and not finding (nearly) conclusive evidence is going to prevent me to write any article at all, which isn't the case in the entertainment industry. They can write about whatever they like, and they're going to be selling the stories that sell the best, with the goal of getting these stories out there (in case of a narrative exclusive thing).

The thing is, that you mention, "It irks me a lot, because you guys spend a lot of time researching, learning new things doing big brain things (I love your big brain) to give a coherent writing." You're here in my ask box, like just the fact that you found and read my blog means that you cared enough and were open enough to getting clarity the topic, for you to understand personally and form an opinion while being open to the idea of them actually being together, and on a personal level that's fine, and on a blog level that people only find once they start sniffing around on their own accord that's fine. Thinking of applying such a thing to a mainstream audience, thinking of someone who is somehow involved with mainstream media doing that for research as well... isn't... isn't a thing. Like imagine you're a writer, you write articles, you fall down a larryhole and somehow you have the opportunity to write an article about it that's going to reach a mainstream audience... would you write about it? Would you do it? I mean, what are you really doing then? Attempting to out them? Also why'd you bring this to the attention of people unaware, uninterested, lacking context, no grasp on how the industry works, perhaps even homophobic, etc... I don't think anyone would write about it. Like openly, kindly, just like truly about their relationship. (Unless you know done subtly ;) ) Those who are open to the idea that they're together, or even those who know the truth, stay silent. Because they value their privacy, understand it's an intricate issue and things are at stake you know, maybe even because they aren't allowed to. Or, again, they somehow subtly hint at it and that's all. You know, like articles just pointing out how nice they are, just articles just casually dropping they were at the same place without insinuating anything else, something like that. That's the kindness and respect that you're looking for.

I don't know what it's like, I don't live in that world, but I imagine that world really isn't all that big and everyone just kinda knows peoples public lives have little to do with their personal ones, and just treat them like, well, like the public versions of themselves when talking about/to them in public, and so it's mostly just not even brought up you know. I think loads of people are aware (and also they're not special at all in terms of being closeted in the industry, so for those not really that focused on this running conspiracy but knowing these people this is just another closeted couple you know so it's... I mean it's not normal but it's just what it is.). Just what makes them unlike any other is the decades worth of sneaky behavior to pick up on for those (fans) receptive to it, that they created a huge wave of people over time that are deeply invested in their relationship because it's what they have shown time and time again is something they want, that they're not letting go, they're keeping us here, they don't back the fuck down in letting us know they're insane[affectionate] little puzzling chaotic evil[affectionate] weirdos[affectionate], a side of them that nobody is going to notice unless you're a way too invested fan and these shits[affectionate] have trained you to send your brain into a frenzy like you have 3 mins left to finish your maths exam whenever there's any new content at all. Long story short nobody cares and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

But there have been interviewers that have shown some distaste when bringing up the ship, I know. I think those are some heteronormative outliers that just googled their names real quick for some spice and just found a larry conspiracy headline without any desire to break through that spoonfed opinion, are just blissfully hetty unaware that closeting is a thing even, and just feel perfectly content blatantly assuming their public images are exactly what they look like and that what they're doing is just a silly little funny question and nothing more, maybe paired with the expectation that the person they're interviewing is the hetty het het that would find the ship a big ew ew. I think you can tell sometimes with interviewers they get thrown off their game when the person isn't going along with their vibe, like that they entirely expected they would. Other times it's bait. Some times it's both.

It's a weird place, I don't think you can put every instance of speculation in the same box, I think it's mostly naive or naive+baity (not to mention very very het) interviewers and some ancient recycling of painful articles, but we'll see what the next round of promo will bring. Currently with the high-profile hohowiwiwa I think it's probably just not gonna be mentioned, like maybe even to the point where interviewers are gonna be asked just not to go there. Not based on much, just what makes sense to me. So yeah, the vast majority I think treats with respect (I think all the examples in here are pretty positive), it's just the crazy outliers you hear the loudest and kinda linger and leave a bad taste.

Anyyyyyway cute gif cute gif where are you gimme a good gif

Yes cute

Magical Moments (MGG x Reader)

Description: Matthew and reader are in Disneyland (and love hehe) <3

Warnings: None? Some inaccurate descriptions of Disneyland’s layout lol

Word count: 794

A/N: I MISS DISNEYLAND! And so The Mouse doesn’t try me, I don’t own any of the rides mentioned in this story, their names are used for entertainment purposes :)) also this is the first written thing I’ve published on here and any kind of feedback would be appreciated, as well as likes and reblogs, thank you for reading!!

—

Waking up next to Matthew was always one of your favorite things. Especially when it was at 6:30am in a Disneyland hotel, and you both waste no time in getting ready to hit the parks.

“Babe, did you pack my Minnie ears?” You ask as you dig through your suitcase.

Matthew pokes his head out of the bathroom, “Of course I did, check the bag by the door. It should be in that one, but if not, then it’s in my suitcase with my lanyards.”

As you and Matthew finish up getting ready, you start packing your bag with items you’ll need.

“Okay, I have the tickets, portable charger, extra hair bands, lip balm, my wallet...Matthew, am I missing anything?”

“Hand sanitizer!” Matthew answers as he fixes his lanyards that are filled with several pins he bought with every visit.

“Right! I’ll pack that right now.” After touching everything on each ride in the whole park, it’s a necessity. Once you both double checked that you had everything, you quickly maneuvered your way through the resort and entered the park.

You always thought it was cute watching Matthew get excited, but it was just so much better when his excitement was Disney related.

“(Y/N), look!” Matthew smiled and pointed you into the direction of Mickey and Minnie Mouse posing for pictures with some park visitors. “Let’s go take a picture!” and before you can even answer in agreement, he’s already dragging you off towards the characters.

After briefly talking to Mickey, albeit it was one-sided but your boyfriend was having fun, and pretending to catch a kiss Minnie blew his way, you both got your pictures taken by the crew-member accompanying the characters. Thanking them as you walked off, Matthew was already rambling about which fast-passes you needed to get before they ran out and what lands to do first.

“Alright, (Y/N), we’re still on Main Street so we can really do anything first, but I think we should do Fantasyland right now, especially since you know how long the wait time can be for Peter Pan’s Flight…”

You’d accidentally tuned him out as you were looking at the picture of you two; the large smiles on your faces and the iconic Disney characters at your sides, you felt your heart swell with so much love, and it wasn’t even 8:15am yet.

I’ll have to remember to set this as my lockscreen. You smile at the thought.

“...and once we finish Fantasyland, do you want to eat? We can go to the Red Rose Tavern since it’s right there-” You cut Matthew off with a quick kiss and lightly squeeze his hand as you kept walking towards the entrance to Fantasyland.

Matthew squeezed your hand in return and smiled softly at you, “What was that for?”

“Nothing,” You grin. “I just really love you, you know that?”

“I know, (Y/N),” Matthew said, pressing a chaste kiss to your temple. “And I really love you too, princess. Now, let’s decide on which ride first.”

Knowing Disneyland and how it was always packed, you already had an idea of the order you’d do the rides.

“Like you said, Gube, Peter Pan’s Flight always has the longest wait time, so we should knock that one out first. Then do Snow White’s Scary Adventures, Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, and grab a quick breakfast at the Red Rose Tavern?” You suggested as you both got in line for the Peter Pan ride.

“Sounds good, we can finish here after we eat, let our food settle, and move onto Adventureland?” Matthew asked.

“Yes! I’ll get the fast-passes on the app now since the Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones also have ridiculous wait times.”

The time spent waiting in line felt as it had passed quickly, and before you knew it, you and Matthew were next to board one of the cute, ‘flying ships.’ There was something about the way Matthew wrapped his arms around you, while you guys casually discussed the rest of your day in the park--what rides you wanted to do and in what order, where you’d eat lunch, what you were hoping to find in all the shops, what park snacks you were looking forward to--that made you feel so content. Matthew surely felt the same, and he was practically vibrating with excitement from just talking about what he wanted to do, you could hear the smile in his voice.

Once you boarded your own ship and were about to enter the ride, you looped your arm around his and rested your head on Matthew’s shoulder, savoring one of the many, magical moments you’d share with the man you loved more than anything, all while being at the Happiest Place on Earth.

SLEEPOVER☆CHAOS

In which my mastersona, Seihai-kun; joins Gudako and Mash for one heck of a fun sleepover!!!

Secrets and hidden emotions are finally exposed! ;)

(naw i just like sleepovers)

Cold, billowing gusts of snow rattled against the glistening window panes; as the mundane, clinically white halls of Chaldea sparkled like brand-new.

Yes.

For the first time in ages, Seihai had volunteered to assist with the cleaning!!

'Well, it was either to help with clean-up or join the servants for a session of group counselling with Kiara...' The mere idea of pouring their heart out to their fellow allies made a cold shiver run down Seihai's spine.

No way in hell did they want to let others know about their inner demons; especially not when he was also attending today's session. To Seihai, that was akin to a recipe for disaster.

And in addition to that, Kiara was eerily perceptive as a counsellor. It'd be IMPOSSIBLE to hide anything from her. Seihai had seen how even Gudako's cheery outer self faltered before Kiara's intelligent wiles.

'It's much more relaxing to clean the place instead.' Resting their vibrant red cornrows onto one of the latest prototype model of the Chaldea Speedmop 2000 (nightingale had an entire stock of them in order to keep chaldea as clean as possible), they sighed.

Life had been a real struggle as of late for Seihai. Lacerating wounds. Ferocious beasts. Storylines bursting at the seams with treachery and Machiavellianism. In other words, the missions were hell. It was tough- unbearable even- to carry on, to keep on pushing forward like Gudako, Mash, the Staff and Servants were; but deep down, Seihai knew that they had no choice but to follow ahead.

However, it grew. A festering, deep pool of regret; self-abasement and shame. Was it really alright for Seihai to be here? Weren't they just a nuisance? Were they even worthy? Did anybody at Chaldea even care about them, anyway? Who could they open up around?

As a horrendous deluge of negative self-talk smashed into Seihai with all the force of a tidal wave; encasing them within a moment of anxiety so painful that they felt as if they were about to drown- a miracle occurred.

'TAP TAP!!!!' Tapping them ferociously on the shoulder, Seihai leapt out of their very skin to face such an intrusive force. "H-HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK- oh, Gudako."

"What do you mean by 'oh Gudako'?!! It's none other than me, Gudako; your beloved homie and most trusted ally!! I was looking for you. Kiara was disappointed that you couldn't make it to counselling today. Told me that she's happy to meet you one-on-one, if you got some extra time." Gudako all but winked, as her golden eyes glimmered mischievously.

'You little shit,' Seihai couldn't help but laugh at that. "Alright, I'll visit her tomorrow. How was the group therapy?"

"Oh, it was awesome! We all had a good laugh, shared our stories and gave each other some support." Gudako was more or less beaming with joy. "It's so nice here, in Chaldea. Everyone's so supportive of one another. There's no shame here, Seihai. I hope you know that."

"Haha, of course I do!" An itchy, aching laugh that was even faker than the fakest of plastics erupted from Seihai's throat. Well fuck, looks like their skills at faking had subsided greatly as of late.

'Oh shit...she's onto me..' Seihai recognized that expression clearly. Gudako's eyes were wide, almost brimming with tears, as her eyebrows arched incredulously.

That only meant one thing- she was finally onto Seihai's bullshit.

"Hey, Seihai. If something's up, tell me! You always listen to me ramble on and on about all of my feelings too. Let it out!" Gudako gives Seihai a friendly shake of the shoulders. "AH!!!!"

"Oh lord, Gudako. What's happened now?" Seihai guffawed softly at Gudako's vibrant pose. "You got a new idea? C'mon let it out!"

"Oi, you're the one who needs to let things out more!!! I am doing perfectly fine, thank you. Well anyway. Seihai?"

"Come with us. Join us on our sleepover tonight. Let's chat, just like old times. You, Mash and I. How does that sound?" Gudako's expression was apprehensive, linking her palms together. "I want to help. If that's okay with you..."

'SHIT, I'M WEAK TO SLEEPOVERS!!! DAMNIT!!' There was something so precious, so special about being privy to the personal thoughts and opinions of others; that Seihai was infinitely weak towards. And a sleepover with Mash and Gudako? Lucky!

Seihai instantly looped their ebony hands with Gudako's scarred palms. "Look, I'm going. You better bring some popcorn and snacks, or I'll drain your room of food, Gudako!" Seihai's joke brought a smile to Gudako's face immediately.

"Hell yeah! I'll see you at 10. You better not flake on me!"

Gudako was most certainly one of the most beloved homies around.

SLEEPOVER TIME!!! (yeet)

Decked in the most casual pyjamas and a pale gray dressing gown, Seihai trooped into Gudako's room with all the force of a warrior. It was time to commence battle!

'ONWARDS I GO!!! YOU'VE GOT THIS ME!!!' Seihai slammed into the door as bravely as they possibly could. 'YEAH BOI! I AM NOT NERVOUS, I AM WORTHY AND AWESOME! I am valid, I've got this!' With an entire array of self-affirmations tucked under their sleeves, they boldly seized their targets.

"Yahoo, beautiful ladies. It's me." Seihai posed languidly, as an excited Mash and ridiculously energetic Gudako ran up to her. "Wow, this is my first time here...nice room you've got, Gudako."

Gudako's room was filled with an array of posters, dvds, cds and technological gear; however neon lights also paraded the walls, giving it a very 'cyber beach party' feel.

"Oh damn, the finest one of them all has arrived." Gudako smirked, swaying from side to side. "I'm glad you came."

"Me too...Senpai was yammering on and on about how she wants you to join in with us more often," Mashu beamed softly, tucking her hands politely behind her back. "Thank you for making it here. Truly. I am very grateful for this."

At this, Seihai's eyes widened with shock. They were so used to being alone; and dealing with everything on their lonesome. So to see these two seem so joyful by their mere arrival came as a deep surprise to Seihai. 'Y-yo...I can't handle this...Shit.' It was time to clam up.

Awkwardly ruffling ruby red locks of hair, Seihai turned to the side. "Don't worry about it, I think you two are great people. So...what have you both got planned for today?"

"Well, senpai and I usually tend to enjoy a good romance movie..." Mash began.

"...And imagine ourselves in their situation as well." Gudako's grin was enormous, as Mash's cheeks flushed ever so slightly. "It's so much fun when we do that. Mash and I have very interesting viewpoints on romance. Hehe." Gudako's expression was wistful and warm, her eyes filled with affection.

'Damn, they've got it bad for one another...' Seihai blankly mused. 'Are they just close friends? Are they in love? Hell if I know,' They wondered.

"B-but, as you're here, we wanted to make things much more simulating for you as well. So we decided to choose a legendary movie..."

"... that's named SHREK." Gudako's face was extremely serious. "The movie that fucking destroys all other movies, because it is just that darn good. What do you say? Want some SHREK TIME??"

"Of course, Shrek is love AND life, after all." Grabbing a huge bowl of popcorn, Seihai sits to the right of Mash and Gudako. "How may times have you watched it?"

"I've genuinely lost count..." Gudako sighed. "How about you, Mash?"

"Only twice...I don't really understand the jokes and references made..." Mash hung her head dejectedly. "Sometimes I wonder if these movies are wasted on me."

"That's not true at all, Mash. I have all the time in the world to explain them to you. You won't be left out, alright?" Ruffling Mash's hair softly, Gudako smiled blissfully.

"Senpai...Thank you. In return, I shall explain all sorts of magecraft theories to you so that you can rise above all of the clock tower mages. I'll be cheering you on!"

"Aah, Mash; what have I done to deserve someone as good as you? C'mere." They were now snuggling closely together.

"Yep, Mash! You heard Gudako. This movie isn't wasted on you at all! All knowledge has to start from somewhere. You may be lost now, but you'll eventually possess enough referential knowledge to enjoy this soon. Be nicer to yourself, okay?" Ah, there it was. Seihai couldn't help but throw out some positive vibes. Worried that they had gone too far, they cringed- only to be met with wide smiles.

"You're so right, Seihai!" Gudako was now caressing Mash's hair. "Hehe, you always give such wise advice."

"Seihai, you're so kind...Thanks." Mash grinned.

"Ah, no problemo! Just didn't want to see you hurt yourself."

As Seihai quietly watched over the two's warm cuddling session, a slight pain twanged at their heartstrings.

In Chaldea, they had no connections as close as that. There was nobody like that for them, whose arms they could be held in; who they could bond with so closely. Nobody who they could cry with in the worst of times; nobody who they could while away the darkest phases of night with...nobody at all.

It had always been them, and them alone.

No matter how many people they connected to on a surface level; how many people they met and spoke to; who they relied upon and trusted within their lifetime- Seihai had never experienced a close bond with anyone.

For the first time in a while, the arid, bitter taste of jealousy clawed across their throat.

'Ah man, they're so cute. Kinda wish I could love and be loved like that too.' Seihai silently watched the movie besides them, as blue rays of light danced upon their face. 'Damn, now I'm mixed between feeling both happy and jealous for them. GUHHHH!!!'

Sometimes... being emotionally distant from others sucked.

But they couldn't let desperation consume them. Whenever they were desperate for friendship and love, they'd let the wrong people in, and would end up even more battered and bruised than before...

'I just gotta keep on being my own pillar of emotional support, no matter how desperate I am for some hugs.' Seihai sighed.

'If this is the price I have to pay to live honorably to my true self, than so be it.'

"So...Mash, Seihai. Let's share some secrets. Have any of you got somebody who you like? Fess up to your dear Gudako!!!"

What was once an extremely loud and rancorous viewing of Shrek (Seihai laughed throughout the entire thing, as Gudako cracked an inane amount of jokes) had now become none other than a GOSSIP SESSION.

'FUCK...' Seihai's face paled at this. Of all the topics to discuss, why did it have to be this??? Whilst Seihai's face was creased up with pure pain and terror, Mash was blushing like a cute tomato.

"W-well senpai, I...You see, I..." Gudako was leaning in so closely towards Mash that she was bordering on pinning her to the wall.

"Hmm, what? What is it, Mash?" Her voice was a husky whisper. "C'mon, tell me who..."

'Bruh. GUDAKO!!! That's not helping at all.' Seihai wanted to facepalm at their antics. 'They really are this dense to each other's feelings, huh.' It was adorable, yet somewhat amusing to watch as well.

"A-AH! I GIVE, I GIVE!!" Pushing Gudako to the side, Mash panted in agony. "S-SEIHAI! WHO DO YOU LIKE??"

"OI, DON'T THROW ME UNDER THE BUS LIKE THAT! WHAT THE HELL!!!" Seihai couldn't help but yell, as a dastardly cold wind dashed through their spinal cord. "Fuck, well okay, there is somebody I like, but..."

"Spear."

'Shit...' Seihai's eyes were as large as saucers, as they spun in Gudako's direction; her smirk pernicious.

Did Gudako KNOW?!

"Looks like Seihai's in a spear of trouble." Gudako winked proudly at them. "Mash, save Seihai the embarrassment. We all know who they like already!"

"T-that's true..." Mash had finally calmed down, much to Seihai's own chagrin. "Yes, we do know."

"How? I mean, should I be worried by this??? How many of you know??" Seihai's arms pooled with cold sweat. "Damn you!"

"More or less the entirety of Chaldea?" Gudako admitted, chowing nonchalantly on a massive pocky stick. "You're not very good at hiding your emotions, you know. Seihai, we in Chaldea understand you much more than you may realize. You can open up a little more, you know?"

Overwhelmed by this, Seihai snaps for the very first time- their hazel eyes burning with repressed rage. "How can you say that, damnit?! How can you understand me, when I mainly hang out alone; when I can barely connect with anybody in Chaldea; when I don't even fucking belong in this damned place??? How can you say that, when I have a fucking useless one sided affection that I've been trying to hide, but everybody now knows of??? How can you say that Gudako??? You don't know shit about me, nor my feelings!!"

At this outburst, both Gudako and Mash's faces soured. Roughly gripping Seihai with her war-torn hands, Gudako shakes them by the shoulders, her golden eyes burning with passion.

"You don't think I see it, Seihai? How you fucking pour out all of your feelings by accident, only to withdraw back into yourself again? How you look longingly over at Mash and I, craving a bond of your own? How you reluctantly look over towards staff and servants, aching to talk to them but not knowing what to do? You don't think I see you crying, see your eyes fill with affection for a certain someone every now and then; that I don't pay attention to your feelings?!! I CARE FOR YOU, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!! WE'RE FRIENDS, AREN'T WE?!!!"

"S-senpai, stop! Seihai, I'm so sorry, Gudako just gets a bit...well, passionate sometimes." Mash manages to successfully pull Gudako back. "Err, Seihai?"

Tears. A flowing river of tears dropped from Seihai's eyes as they sobbed quietly into their palms.

Gudako cared?

Somebody actually did acknowledge their emotions, and actually looked out for them?

'What, what...It can't be...But I thought that only I could care for myself and understand my emotions that well...How could she?' Before Seihai could even look up, Gudako had wrapped them within a fierce hug.

"Seihai. Look, I don't know what's happened in your past, or what's convinced you to be your sole caretaker and self-support system without letting anybody else in." Gudako ruffles their hair. "But I want you to know, that you're NOT alone. Yeah, maybe you've not found your close homies yet. But Mash and I are happy to hear you out, we all are!! Even the person you like sees you as a friend, hehe. You don't have to worry about hiding yourself behind a mask of peerless positivity and self confidence anymore."

"Gudako..."

"You know, you were there for me when I was crying about having to be strong. And you know, I struggled to open up as well. But yeah, Mash...well she came along, and now I feel so much better! Look, I just want you to not beat yourself up for this. It's okay."

"Gudako, you're gonna make me cry. Damn, you're really hitting me in the feels today. I got a real case of the 'crying in the club at 3am vibes' right now."

"Oi, no making shitty jokes to cope. Here, we show our vulnerability like real warriors!" Gudako declared triumphantly, as Mash laughs.

"Gudako, I swear...you really are a wonderful homie. I'm sorry that I tried to hide away from you...I am so grateful that you care enough to seek me out like this. Thank you."

"H-HOLY SHIT, WE CRACKED OPEN THE COLD ONE. MASH TAKE A PHOTO!"

"Senpai, please stop the joking."

"S-sorry..."

"I'm glad," Mash also sat by Seihai's side. "I just want all of us to be happy. And Seihai, I am sure there are many wonderful beings out there that you may eventually grow close to! You already believe in yourself, which is a great start! I know you won't have to be so lonely anymore!" Lacing her palms together, Mash spoke a prayer. "I wish that someday, you will meet people too. And that you'll stop fighting alone."

"Mash, you're gonna make me explode with tears. You're being so nice right now that I'm going to cry." Seihai blushed.

"You heard her, Mash! Why are you so damn cute, I'm falling in love!!" Gudako was clutching her heart dramatically. "Ahhh....Mash is such a beauty!!! Thank you, for blessing me with such a wonderful person!"

"S-SENPAI!!! STOP!!!" As the two began to pillow fight, laughing all the while; Seihai smiled softly at them both.

'So I'm not fighting alone after all...I'm not the only person who values myself in this world anymore...' Seihai could finally put down the weapons that they had grown so used to aggressively defending themselves with.

From now on, they'd do their best to trust in Chaldea more. And maybe attend group therapy from now on, as well.

'So this is how it feels to open up to people.'

It was an unforgettable sensation.

THE END

holy smokes this is so fucking LONG

I actually like reading essays about Hakuno cause I enjoy seeing you gush about Hakuno! You can call me as mushy anon cause I send you stuff that makes you into a mush of feelings over Hakuno hehe~

mushy anon it is!! :D and I SCREAM??? BECAUSE-- i ramble like mad omg but i'm glad you like reading em!! i love getting your asks too so as always, THANK YOU !! ily 🥺❤ and sorry for taking forever to answer these HSKGJAH it has been Literal Months, but i'll definitely be responding much faster from now on!! it's a promise from this clown to mushy anon!!! (also also if you have disc n you don't mind adding me there... hmu 👀) AND GOSH SAMEE i love reading peoples thoughts on hakuno lots because i feel like her character is just?? pretty damn complex!! there's a lot of ways to look at it and it's just -clenches fist- so very interesting! i wish i can put my thoughts on her into words bc there really So Much to it and i want people to know that!! not just her own character and growth, but also the dynamics between her and other characters.... the devoted person is included in that list too ofc!!! i'm So invested in hakuno and her dynamic with this devoted person so much now... you have No Idea. i DEMAND want an entire series about them and hakuno. and speaking of them, i'll be answering the rest of your asks under the cut >:^)

What if the person is so devoted to Hakuno is that once they die then their reincarnation will be drawn to another version of Hakuno in a different world which both of them feel each other are so familiar not knowing they're now reunited together again in better terms -mushy anon

CAN I JUST SAY---- they are soulmates!!! soulmates i tell ya!!!!! romantic or not (bc ahahaha i may or may not think that they'd be Neat as a couple 👉👈), i just think they'd have that incredibly strong bond that just ties their fates together; though even if fate tries to separate them, i feel like neither of them would let that happen either! this makes me so damn happy tho bc THIS IS THE HAPPY ENDING I WANT FOR THEM!!!! mush anon if you've watched angel beats, then there's this one moment from it 👀 (which involves a song being hummed and a hand reaching out---) that really reminds me of this.... and just like with that anime i s ob about hakuno and this devoted person so damn much!! i don't have many words but pls i'm so frikkin happy at the idea of them being able to peacefully live their lives together!!! them being able to

and ngl...... when i first read reincarnation, i throught of this one trope,,, which i am such a Sucker for and i bring up to you as well: immortal devoted person 😳 who keeps meeting hakuno's reincarnations 😳 and still loves her no matter how many times she forgets them 😳

I can definitely see the devoted person would be the type to be willingly stuck in a neverending loop constantly trying again and again to ensure that Hakuno will have a happy ending no matter what -mushy anon

smh mushy anon giving me happiness and soft only to rip my heart out like this?? ahjfhshd ok but L ISTEN i Love time loops. a lot. and i don't exactly know why, but lemme copy and paste this post right here to tell you why!! (also here's a quick note from lynn of the future, i was gonna link that specific post.... but sadly, i lost it T_T)

Time loop stories are like re-tellings of myths because both say: there is something inevitable & tragic that is going to happen, but we are going to find a space inside of that story for something new & all our own anyway. We are going to chose life and chose love even if it hurts us. I am going to love you even if you’ll forget me tomorrow. I am going to live as best I can even if I’m going to die tomorrow. We are going to keep telling stories because that is all we have and the best thing we can do.

"i'm going to love you even if you'll forget me tomorrow" IT'S LITERALLY THEM???? but also, with time loops you really just get two options: option a being a way for a happy ending but optipn b being.. something that's just prolonging the inevitable. as for option b... i can tell it's going to absolutely crush me :,) spoilers for madoka magica AND IT LOWKEY REMINDS ME OF MADOKA AND HOMURA'S DYNAMIC TOO....... devoted person going through these loops again and again and the ending being hakuno recognizing how much they've gone through for her sake but also deciding to take matter into her own hands.... a bittersweet ending like the og extra ending is what they'd get, i feel like!! which rlly crushes me bc mush anonnnn, i want a happy ending for them so bad -CHOMPS MY PILLOW-

A song fitting for the devoted person and Hakuno: Carol by balloon0120 and avogado6 -mushy anon

mushy anon hOW DO YOU FIND THESE GEMS??? THE MV ITSELF IS ALREADY MAKING ME CRY SO HARD??? the vibes and just the tone of the song fits them so much and i honestly don't even know where to begin screeching--- the part where the boy and the girl especially hits So Hard for me when it comes to hakuno and this devoted person bc it's like-- they'll always be searching for each other no matter how long and will always find their way back to each other ;___; reminds me of your them meeting each other after reincarnation too!! and like i said, they are simply Soulmates. do not separate!!!! THE LAST ENDING SCENE IS SO SOO GOOD THOUGH!!! my mind's going crazy imagining hakuno and the devoted person in that exact scene and i'm going feral thinking abt what they'd say into the paper cup!!!

couldn't find proper english translations for the song so i just ran it thru google translate 😳 but AAAAAAAA I'M STILL GOING CRAZY BC IT REALLY IS THEM TO A T!! When I remember happiness / Every time you are next to me / How to laugh with your eyes closed / Please don't forget — this part absolutely Kills me btw. the whole song in general feels like the devoted person's pov from maybe hakuno's last moments before losing all her memories?? the mv gives ends it on a happier note which i reaaally want for them gotdang!! though the one thing i'd want is for that flower that the girl gets at the end of the mv to be a white rose instead bc i do associate white roses with my hakuno :^) but also because the meanings and symbolism of a white rose suit their bond so well too!! though i am curious on what the flower in the mv was (i'm not well versed in flower stuff GSJGHS) bc i feel like it'd honestly suit hakuno and the devoted person too <3 AND I'LL BE CRYING OVER IT AGAIN AS PER USUALLL

#&&. out of #&&. anonymous #i love devoted person n h.akuno dynamic so much can u believe i'm whipped for a relationship where #i don't even know what one half looks like?? i don't even know their name or gender or ANYTHING #but ik that they love my moon girl and that i want them 2 be happy with her <3 #MUSHY ANON I LOVE THEM #mushy anon #mushy anon gets a tag bc i love them and i hope they'll be a regular visitor 2 my dumpster fire of a blog #GSJFHAJFHS #q.

@mysteriousdbzgt: Hi oh-lali-lali-lali-lalipop! Thank you for your ask. First of all, thanks for asking this question here on my personal (and also for the follow over on t&bftw, welcome aboard! :D) I think you can probably tell from here, that I’m a huge supporter of them becoming romantically involved lol I don’t shy about that here, but I like to present a more neutral stance over on my news dedicated blog, to not influence others of my personal opinions. With regards to the new season, as much as I would be supportive of it, I unfortunately highly doubt that they would become “official” in S2 or anything in the future, but will remain extremely dedicated and attentive to one another, regardless of their constant bickering. The creators of the show are more than aware of the popularity of the “couple”, being constantly popular at doujinshi events and the continuous amounts of merchandise that they bring out, which regularly focuses on the main duo rather than all of the Heroes all the time. The fandom is primarily dominated by women, when originally the show was supposed to target men and “salarymen”, but attracted a completely different demographic that they hadn’t anticipated. I can only think that’s mainly because of the appeal of K&B. Also not helped by some of the staff’s, let’s just say, “unfiltered” thoughts when they discuss about K & B in older interviews, centering around “love” and other similar notions. I think they still want to keep this series aimed towards a male demographic, even if the results don’t line up as they expect. But highly ironically, it’s what makes the show successful, so I doubt they would want to change how they portray Kotetsu and Barnaby’s relationship. Personally I would be absolutely over the moon if they did become “official”, because they’re just perfect for one another (hehe) and it could just break so many standard conventions/boundaries on how media portrays same-sex relationships, if done appropriately, and not be labelled with any genre tags like “BL”, “yaoi” or anything similar, and still simply just be a “drama”, “superhero” tale, with the two main males eventually getting together but not make a big song and dance about it. If we want to normalise LGBT relationships within our media and what we consume, then we need to drop these tags and portray them in a healthy manner, which I think the show does well between them both. I believe that the staff have the talent to pull it off, they just need to be cautious on how they do it. Like you said, how FE is presented in the show which such great self confidence about themselves and who they are, really shows that they can write this. Also T&B’s spiritual successor show, Double Decker (who had a lot of the same staff) tackles some LGBT themes pretty well, so they could absolutely do it. But yeah, I don’t think they’ll become “official” unfortunately. But if anything, I anticipate that KxB will most likely be working even closer together in S2, so they’ll be more in tune with one another, and possibly open up even more to each other than they did before. Hopefully they’ll be over the huge feuds and split apart phase, which The Rising focused on (they’ll still bicker all the time, but that’s just how they are), so we can see just how far their relationship has come and changed for the better. Anyway this is probably way too long (sorry), but always interested to hear your thoughts too! :)

Heya! Before I start I just wanna say thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a thorough reply, it is incredibly well thought out and written! I also want to say I am so freaking sorry you had to type out my monstrosity of a name (seriously didn’t think about that when making the joke lol). Oh, and I’m equally sorry for the formatting of the reply... really had no clue how to go about it, so I just defaulted to going about it the roleplayer way haha. Anyways, for starters, I think I should say that I actually agree with you a lot. You see, logically I think it feels highly unlikely they’d make them “official” in the new season. I’m not sure if I feel like it’s unlikely because I, someone who’s in the LGBTQ community, am a pessimist (aka, I’m negative regardless of proof) who is use to companies not delivering on it/assume companies won’t deliver on it.... or if I’m genuinely, but unconsciously, picking up on Sunrise’s stance of “not gonna happen”. Despite all that I still feel stupidly hopeful about it (y’know, heart louder than the mind and all that jazz)... and I guess for the sake of the discussion I’ll break down why! lol So, I got into the fandom.... around the time of The Rising, I think, so anywhere from 2014 to 2015. I instantly fell in love with it all, but I did end up falling out of the loop for awhile (being a teenager and all that). Recently (recently being that I finished S1 on Friday, watched The Rising on Sunday, and now I’m here lol) I got back into it and.... wow, a lot of it is the same, and.... at the same time it felt like I had so much more to process. It’s still as amazing as ever, if not even more so, and just like with everything else I love with my entire being I started to analyze it and read into it (maybe a little bit too much so lol). In all honesty, KxB seriously stood out even more so than it did last time for me (I don’t know if it’s because I’m now accepting of my sexuality or what) and while it’s not actually the best part of the series to me (God, Barnaby’s arc means so much to me what with me struggling with cPTSD, but that story is best left on my RP blog) I do have to admit that the pairing is... incredibly meaningful, and beautiful. Moving for me, really. I guess the following observations, and hopeful thinking that came after it, could be deduced to me just wearing shipper goggles, but considering my habit of over analyzing and breaking things down... I do try to make predictions and opinions logically, and with that in mind it’s why I’m so stuck on the “hopeful thinking”, since a tiny bit of logical thinking is fueling it. Tiger & Bunny is about human relationships, really. For a show focusing on NEXTs... it’s really about humanity, corruption, society, relationships... and KxB all along the first season is written as an undertone, like a slow burn (which is entirely fitting, and seriously makes any relationship better), which fits because the first season is, in actuality, not focused on that (the plot being bigger than we can see and all that). In the end, having rewatched it, I also noticed how, really, the undertone is written in such a way that.... it feels like Barnaby is the one with the “crush” (or is the first one to realize it) which... kinda fits with the old statements from the crew. Kotetsu the forever oblivious one who hasn’t had an epiphany yet (although if I’m being honest, The Rising seems to have this “side-plot” feeling of Kotetsu having the epiphany when he realizes what he’s lost, which is what I meant by the flow of the series somewhat feels like it’s building towards it)... .... There’s also the whole “leaving it to interpretation thing” they said back then. Which, I have to agree with some other people that it feels like it’s just a way of saying “it’s romantic but we don’t want to take that risk”.... and that was back around 2011. It’ll have been decade since then when S2 is released, and, while a decade is just a decade, a lot has changed on a societal basis since then. Even during this decade long gap Sunrise has become more bold with their representation, whether it be Double Decker! or The Rising.... almost like they’re testing the waters... and what better way to champion representation than to make two main characters the representation? This franchise is... so human in it’s story, and the meaning doing such a thing would have for so many people... in a way, I think out ways some of the risks. I feel like the build up is there, the want is there (tbh seeing posts on tumblr of people talking about how they hope they’ll get a kiss in S2 or something “official” like that also fueled this)... it just depends on whether they’ll feel afraid or not. Which is, really, why I asked for your opinion. You do such good work at trying to bridge the gap between the Japanese fandom/Sunrise and the English speaking community (which, btw, you are amazing at, I can’t thank you enough for the work you do), and I knew you’d be more informed on Sunrise’s attitude and statements, as well as the general opinions and depositions of the Japanese fans. In the end, I can “read into” things all I want, but it won’t matter if you can’t understand the one who pulls the strings... and because of that I wanted to know your opinion. I’m so so sorry this got so long!! I’m really horrible at summarizing myself, so this turned into a major ramble.... I’m gonna wrap it up now before this turns into a novel haha. Again, thank you so much for responding to my question and for being open to discussing it, it means so much! I truly respect your opinion, since it helps me clear my own thoughts, as well as gives me a dose of reality so I don’t get my hopes up too much... I guess in the end though, a part of me is going to continue to think that they just might have the heart to do it, irregardless lol. I look forwards to seeing what you have to say about what I’ve written here!

#mysteriousdbzgt #thoughts #Tiger & Bunny #I have no clue why tumblr tried to squash your post when I copied it like Kotetsu squashes his burgers #but jesus fucking christ #also tumblr what did you do to block quotes wtf

Dream daddy ask: dino-nerd dadsona

He was a nerd wasn’t he?

So, um... holly motherfucking cow, I just remembered how much I love acurate, updated dinosaur stuff, and how it could fit the dream daddy fandom?

so, yeah.

I know I’m such a nerd and I’m so late to the fandom but I had fun writing this and here it is

-ROBERT

He notices how fast you get to withling, and how you always make some animal.

He also notices how interested you are in anything supernatural, But always fiting the science factor in there. Like how it could be that jakelopes exist, and they could crosbreed with hares but not bunnyes becouse they are too diferent or how the yeti could be a distant relative of the orangutan...

Or how you are pasionated about movie making too, but prefer realistic stuff, but he says nothing, because he likes silence.

Then, one day, he comes over for movie and pizza, and he finds it: notebooks.

Notebooks all over the house.

There are three different notebooks on the stack of the tea table. One, opened, on the big table at the dinner room. Another one somewere on the kitchen, and many, intersected with books, on the shelves across the house.

With the excuse that it was open and in the same room, he takes the one in the big table, and flips over it.

Its filled with drawings, sketches, notes and doodles of people, planst and animals.

There’s him, and betsy, so thats… there. Theres a lot of Amanda… and many, many animals.

It calls his atention that many of the drawings fit conversations they had.

MC hadn’t hear speak of the dover ghost before he met Robert, but here they were: pages and pages of sketches and different designs of how the dover ghost may look like.

Some of them were more animal-like, others where very human, and other were made of shadow, the mark of the pencil, smugled with the author’s fingers to make it look like smoke. A chill climbed up Robert’s spine when he came across a particular drawing that did look just the way he remembered it, dragging something behind.

There were steps behind him.

“…Robert?”

Ups. MC was back in the room, and he had his nose deep within the sketchbook. Robert concentrated in another drawing, one that was very common, and odd.

Robert lifted his gaze.

“…dinosausr, with feathers?”

“Oh fuck, Robert! Uh…”

Robert held his gaze, smirking

“Yes. Yes, ok? Dinosaurs with feathers. I can explain it”

Robert closed the notebook, but held it as he crosed his legs, leaning in the table

“Im listening”

And he kept listening as MC went on and on, telling him how come dinosaurs actually had feathers, and the remains of them that could still be found in birds, and so many little fascinating facts, with such passion, similar to when Robert himself told intrinsek made up stories.

He smiled. This could be so much fun

-DAMIEN

He was delighted, with MC’s appreciation of his abode. He even said he felt sorry for the dead butterflyes, but still appreciated the beauty of his colection, and the work that went into it.

As soon as they were sitting at the couch, he had asked for the skulls placed across the room.

They walked over to them and talked about fosils. MC tried to guess the species and origin of the bones, and if he did not get the exact thing, he could deduce a lot from looking at them.He took a bit longer to mention the feathers issue. It was nice to have interests in common with Damien and he didn’t want to ruin it with the stupid argument of the feathers.

Of course the day came. They went to the movies, and Damien turned out to be very scared! MC held his hand and rambled on and on of how unrealistic they were, and why some choices were made, and later on the conversation developed into a very popular, clasic movie:

Jurassic park.

“Most raptor species were smaller but there was one or two species the size of the ones in the movie, in wich they were inspired… but they had feathers, all of them, including the T-rex”

“Wait, what?”

“Ups. Uh… see…”

And it was down hill from there.

-CRAIG

When MC got to the BQ and saw Craig waving from across the yard, he recogniced an SOS call. His buddy needed him.

“Dude, I have no idea what is going on”

MC listened quietly for a moment and then leaned onto Craig and wispered to him

“Moustachasaurus is asking a simple question. Rastasaurodon misinterprets it and makes stuff way more complicated thatn it is. Both monsters engage in an eternal loop of bloodshed, a battle of giants. Is the dress blue or yellow? Are best cats or dogs? Pineapple or pineappleless?”

Craig gigles and covers his mouth, wile looking at the two men arguing in front of him.

Hugo tells Mat why he thinks you can not compare two pictures from different moments in history, but when Mat repeats the question, down they go again.

“Moustachasaurus displays his extense knolege of taking pics throu the ages and Rastasaurodon tries to scape, but Moustachasaurus attacks from behind and they engage in tragic battle again. It must be mating season or something”

Craig breaks into laughter, distracting the two men with glasses, and pretends he was having an innocent conversation with MC

“Do you remember how into dinosaurs we were?”

Oh no

He’s got a funny, smug look. Its a trap! ABORT! ABORT!

“eh… were?”

“Bro”

“Broooo what do you think the tyranosaurus rex did with those tiny arms?”

“Don’t do it bro. I found out. You won’t like it”

“I need to know bro”

“noo”

“Tell me, MC Tell me…”

Craig held him by the shirt and roughly wispered in his ear

“What were those tiny claws for?”

“Mhhh huu aaaah FEATHERS”

Craig stepped back, shock written all over his face

“Bro… not you too”

“Im sorry Craig. It is true”

“No… its impossible. It can not be!”

“The t-rex had feathers. He probabbly had fluffy and colofull arms for display, when fighting for terrytory… and mating”

“Nooooo!”

“I would never lie to you, bro. It is true”

“…the velociraptor too?”

“…specially the velociraptor”

-JOSEPH

MC tried not to talk about it in front of Joseph. He just didn’t know how he would take it, being religious and all. Until…

Joseph has a yatch. OMG. He has a yacht.

Before they got off the shore, MC was already creeping him out.

“I just love the sea. It holds so many misteries… do you have interest in all of the marine life? Why would you own a boat if not?”

“hehe, I just enjoy the fantasy of sailing aways into the sunset… just the sea and I”

“But its not just the sea and you. There’s the giant squid. You knew that? its real. They are out there”

“Shh, don’t be afraid. I will protect you”

“No, Im not afraid, Im fascinated! There’s so much we don’t know about the sea, I mean, it is the origin of all life…!”

And then, an akward silence

…he was nervous, ok?

“uh… I mean, after God put it there, of course”

“…right”

“…sorry. There’s not a door we can close and open again this time”

Joseph laughts, maybe to make it a bit less akward

“Actually, speaking of marine life, we may see whales”

“Whales!”

“And dolphins”

“Oh my god, really? Do you see them ofthen?”

“Yeah. You are interested on them? you know they can be cruel right? They drown theyr babys for fun…”

“Oh no, they don’t. Dolphins are some of the most inteligent and social creatures out there. If they ever do that is as a punishent to a misbehabing child, or to teach them to survive when they have trouble. Of course they can go mad or try murder too but it is…”

Joseph was staring at him in disbelief

“…rare. …uh. …yeah”

“Wow”

“hmh. Did you know dinosaurs had feathers? Why do you think they died?”

“…what?”

-MAT

Mat is such a dork. And he babbles. Its adorable! I guess I feel less self-concious near someone who’s also self-concious.

…ok.

He starts talking about music. I don’t know much about music, but it is nice and sweet and Mat knows lots of stuff and it brings memories from a while back, so it is easy to listen and just roll with it.

Speaking of wich.

Retro music reminds me of retro stuff.

And that reminds me of Dinosaurs, and how awful and fake they looked back then.

“What you talking about, man, dinosaurs are cool. …I think”

“Yeah, but, compare the ones in black and white movies with Jurassic park”

“Oh, yeah. Thats the stuff”

“Ok, now let me tell you: jurassic park is now outdated too. Dinosaurs did not look like that”

“what!?”

Mat lays down and listens in awe to me babling abut the found proof that dinosaurs had feathers, and not only that, but also also spikes and colorfull crests and shiny scales, and the misterious noises they may had made. Even the spinoaurus from the third movie, turns out it didn’t walk on two feet. I start realising Im babling a bit too much, but he just looks at me with his sweet, big brown eyes and smiles

“maaaan. I feel so old”

“well, look at the bright side. Not as old as those fossiles”

-HUGO

Going to the acuarium with Hugo was an exciting adventure. And I got to awe a bunch of kids with my extense trivia about penguins, while he got some kid out of the penguin enclosure. How did she get in there? oh well.

Trivia nights were also fun. Hugo and I make a good team and there’s lots of cheese!

It was the dawn of a new era. It really started the time the quizz master got some wrestling trivia wrong, and Hugo went head over hills for it.

I went for all the natural history and nature ones.

Thats what I told him when he showed he his colection.

“Don’t be ashamed of this, man. Remember how I get when Master quizz talks about dinosaurs?”

“Oh. …OH. Oh, boy”

“Oh yeah. I too, have a dark seecret”

“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. …but, what could it be? You are just very educated about nature. It is interesting, many people enjoy the nature channel”

I was giving him a mischevous look

“It goes deeper than that”

Hugo looks at me in the eyes and then carasses his chin before daring to ask

“…how deep is that?”

I walk closer to him, wrestling belt over my shoulder

“Remember you asked”

He doesn’t moves, but gulps when I wisper on his ear

“Dinosaurs had feathers”

“… what?”

“And shiny scales, and colorfull crests, and they made all shorts of music”

“Whait, what, for real?”

“And not all of them went extinct. Not only crocodiles and turtles survived. It has been proved: the birds that we have today descend from dinosaurs like raptors and relatives of the t-rex. Thats why they call it the extintion of the non-aviar dinosaurs now”

“…for real? I… didn’t know that”

“and there was a period, the triasic, when nature was on drugs, and it produced all kinds of crazy stuff!!”

“Say waaaat?” Said his kid, Ernest, standing in the door. How much did he listen?

-BRIAN

“oh, is that a dinosaur book?” said MC, and Amanda turned in horror.

“Oh no”

“yes, it is” Said Daisy, with a wide smile “I wish we were studing theese in class, but they don’t talk much about fosiles, just rocks…”

Brian laughted proudly. “Daisy is not happy with all they teach in class. She is always looking for books with extra stuff…”

Only then he noticed Amanda frantically denying with her head, and making ‘cut it’ gestures. He then looked back at MC. It was too late.

He was sitting next to Daisy, pointing at pictures in the dinosaur book.

“Ok, you know this one?”

“Yeah, that’s a brachiosaurus”

“The long-neck one” added Brian “That one’s easy”

“yeah, but it did not look like that. Book is a bit outdated. New data travels faster online. See, look at the skull. Now, where are the holes of the nose?”

Daisy thoug for a moment.

“… they are… above its eyes? On the top of the forehead?”

“Exactly. Now, don’t you think that’s a bit weird? Having such a wide, weird nose, and a big mouth way apart? Something’s missing”

“Yeah…?”

“Ok, now look at the skull of an elephant”

MC took out his phone and showed her pictures

“… it doesn’t have a nose! And the cavities are huge and… oh my god!”

“Exactly. The trumpet is big and important, but it has no bones. If someone found the fosil of an elephant, but never saw one, they would draw him without a trumpet”

“Like it happened to the brachiosaurus. It had a trumpet! Dad!”

Brian nearly flinched. He was barely catching up

“The brachiosaurus had a trumpet, dad! Can you believe it?”

Brian looked at Amanda. She was scrolling throu her phone like nothing was going on.

“actually, not necesary a trumpet, see…”

Daisy turned her attention fully back to MC

“They are both big hervibores, but the brachiosaurus had a very long neck. It didn’t need a long trumpet. …kind of like a giraff. Have you seen what they do?”

Daisy denied. MC was already playing a video of a giraff using its lips, and loong, sticky toung to catch things and eat them.

“it probably didn’t have a trumpet. Nor a long tounge, but there was definetly something important on its nose, wich it probably used for eating and for singing, kinda like cows do, and maybe it was colorful, or diferent between males and females…”

“wooow! It is a big feature, why they don’t use it in movies?”

“see, it is kind of risky, to design such an extrange animal, so they play it easy and just cover the skull with skin. And that’s not all”

“there is more!?”

“this animals had spikes all over their tails, wich have been found incrusted in the skull of predators like the T-rex”

“Wooah!”

“Don’t feel left out” Amanda said to Brian, seeing that the poor guy needed some company “he can’t help it, loves the stuff. Just make sure you can handle it before letting him anywere near the museum”

“uh… ok”

“And whatever you do, never ask about dinosaurs with feathers” she wispered this “You will never hear the end of it”
