I'm several eb eps behind but I just think Rhetts description of GMM being this nice little box (the presentation, the set up) that wraps the real gift that is that their friendship is so sweet and accurate. Just the perfect way to describe it actually.

I think Link was actually quite touched by the fact Rhett was so adamant he wouldn't want to do gmm without Link in any way, even tho he (Link) was talking about it as an option. But it's seemed like it was only because Link didn't really want to consider the idea of a future where he couldn't be with Rhett 🥺. And then he seemed to genuinely appreciate Rhetts advice for how he should approach it.

Links horror and actual physical recoil at Rhett bringing up the idea of a long/slow death made me laugh just because - yeah fucking real and I just knew he'd react like that, boy is so not comfortable considering the idea of losing Rhett and then the idea of having it drawn out. Big nope.

Don't worry Link, if possible, I'm sure Rhett will haunt you (he's so obsessed with you of course he would)

Also Tuesdays with Morrie is a very good rec if you somehow haven't read that book already

[ikkosu]

psst. if you want, do you think you can write some headcanons about Skylynx from the TFP: Predacon's Rising movie? if not him, predaking would be fine too. need more love for the predacon bois

a/n : ahhh! Predacons! I love them 😭 but I haven’t watched Tfp in a while and predaking is the only one I’m familiar with. I think I went a little haywire on this,,,,

PREDAKING HEADCANNONS

you’re working with robots now, huh. er, autonomous sentient, lifeforms—say it right or shockwave will have your head— and, simply, you’re going to lose your itty bitty mind

the fact is this: you’re an archaeologist, stationed in the raging hot deserts of Nevada, as per your own request, for a find many people in your career would die for. that is, excavating a site that would definitely hit a Jack pot load of bones. can you believe that? prehistoric bones! imagine the things you could do with it. new species to discover, new ecosystems, new—

for unfortunate reasons you’re not disclosed with , it appears you wouldn’t be the only one dying for a find like that

in a desert, remote region in Nevada night had plunged the horizon. the crew had clocked out in their respective tents, and the flaps billowed as a cool breeze pass

”c’mon, kid, we can continue tommorow.” one of the guys said.

but you, the ever so persistent little idiot, were too preoccupied dusting this strange rock you’re certain is a bone,,,it’s a bone! to hell with whoever says it’s not. you’re a hundred percent certain it is,,,,you’re also guts deep below ground, dusty, sweaty ,,,and christ, who’s flaring this red light into your site, it’s hurting your eyes—

with a scowl, you swivel up — then , stoned up and cold like the bone you’re holding

oh, those are someones’s eyes

not very,,,mhn,,, not very friendly eyes, you see, eye? light bulb?

either ways, there’s too much purple, and the darkness had elevated it’s glaring stare and— you’re greeted with the sight of something swirling, yellow, as bright as the sun — is that a gun?!

you try to scream.

yeah, not very effective since claws had already sprung out to latch onto your body, yanking you out with its thumb against your lips, preventing you any ability to shout. hence, with the tried.

the creature, really you’re going to settle for robot, but you know it’s scientifically inaccurate given that it’s intelligence and emotional—

“it appears you have excavated the very piece I am looking for.” it hummed and you stilled, blinking, wide eyes and frantic. oh, god help me it can talk. its claws plucked the bone you were clutching close, ignoring your protesting hands trying to grab it back.

“most certainly logical, how did you find this?”

you’re going to die. you’re going to die. You’re going to die, but hey you replied anyways

"W-we take pictures above ground t-then scan the photos. S-sometimes we use remote sensing techniques when—“

“us that so? perhaps you can have some use with your hands then.”

— that’s how you find yourself in a laboratory, tinkering away on projects by his behest.

you’re not even sure if you’d call it one, given how many ethical protocols shockwave, he said his name was, had already breached. hell, the list can go on and on until it stacked up ‘till the height of the himalayas. you’re sure he doesn’t care. Why would he? He’s not even giving you proper safety gear.

at least, when you told him to he acted like it wasn’t a priority in the first place. and imagine this! there’s others like him too! others that are way too annoying to be considered a decepticon second in command

‘he’s a walking problem, purposely pestering you, disrupting your projects, calling you fleshie and how you’d look perfect as a red stain on the cave floor…

and then there’s this other problem,,,

“your fear for such a creature is illogical.” shockwave had brisked away without much of a glance when you tried to latch onto his pedes. “even your desperation to get away from it so. are you sure you wish to be left alone?”

“don’t be a prick! you can’t keep me with that thing forever!” you pointed at the glowering beast stalking you from behind the beams

“innacurate terminology.’’ He simply said. “a ‘thing’ would assume he’s an inanimate object.”

“ he’s a dragon!”

“innacurate, he’s a predacon.”

“I— what the hell even is that?!”

‘before you could plough a rock to his face you feel something hard, almost like tendrils, wrapping around your body

warm, misty air hissed at your face and you quivered, limp in their hold.

“do not make me repeat myself as I have always done so before." he said stiffly, "be gentle, predaking. I wouldn’t want my assistant to be damaged — a quest to find another is not an easy task.”

then turning on his heel, he left.

bastard had left you alone with this abomination.

Oh, joy.

You can’t get a sense of peace

everywhere you walk it follows. Why? You don’t know why. is it because you pat its head once and called it a good boy? Or that other time you tickled it's jaw and it purred? Though, in restropect you were a bit drunk off your ass ingesting Cybertronian booze by accident — as per Starscream request and amusement.

And now it won’t stop pestering you

You really wish it did.

He does this thing where, oh look it's waldo! And tackle you to ground, even thought you've told the dragon many times not to do that lest you're churned into a splatter of red on the surface

He'd also do this thing where he'd dangle you off the edge pretending to drop you,,,and when he does you're soaring towards the ground at god knows what mph before getting swooped to safety by the same dragon that tried to kill you

For a Predacon he's incredibly...sentient in a way it's aware of what he's doing most of the time

Feral cat behavior

A blurred line between black cat plotting to kill you and golden retriever,,,plotting to kill you with affection

And incredibly possessive at that

Talking to a vehicon? Oh, dear there you go again, hanging by his maw, shirt clamped between his teeth as he drags you away to that horrible, horrible cave

It's damp and it stinks! And he's nestling you like you're some egg desperately in need of protecting

And everytime you'd wrangle out of its— his— you're not even sure anymore — chest , the Predacon simply, with a pinch of his claws on your shirt, tugs you back into his embrace

Sometimes, if he's feeling mirthful he'll fall asleep with his fangdclamping down on a bit of your shirt to prevent you moving

"Let me go god damn it!"

And you know shockwave knows. He doesn't say a horse cobbler about it because it has it's uses

when Predaking decides havoc is what he needs on his agenda today shockwave will simply pluck you up from the ground and hold you to him like a candle

Most often than not the dragon will stare at you like dogs do when presented with a chew toy

and, technically, you are in some aspects

forget transportation, what better vehicle do you need when you can just hang from a dragon's maw as he brings you to the decepticon leader?

Starscream, hell even airachnid, would've exterminated you if not for your darling dragon by your side

and, to be honest, you did kind of grew fond of him. he'd take you on rides up in the air, and he'd nuzzled you close on stormy, cold days. Sometimes, you clean away the rust on his plating when you're free from Shockwave's obviously illegal work conditions

That's until he became a fucking robot

you didn't realize it was him at first, hearing a new rhythm of footfalls echoing across the cave, until the familiar paint scheme slapped you with the answers

What do you mean you're not a dragon this whole time?!?!?!?

you back away from him against the cave wall. you're not sure what to feel as he saunters towards you.

It ties between disappointment and embarrassment because did you really say good boy in a baby voice to a fucking man this whole time?;?-?-??&?

"Do not fear." His voice was far from sweet, god was it rough and deep,

It made your stomach do a 180 backflip and cracked it's head wide open

"Do not try to run."

when his talons curl around your waist, lifting you up to his eye level and the imperceptible smirk on his face is present, you knew you were fucked

"How obedient you are, my little pet."

[indras-wife]

hii! I read some of your writing and AHHH!!!<33 you're an amazing writer like I'm in love with all your works!

I was wondering if I could request a yandere! indra head cannons with a s/o who is blind due to getting severely hurt in one of her missions and now she's starting to function without her eyesight but its been hard for her to do so. Maybe this is pre-obession when they first get to now each other?

have a great rest of your day, lovely! I totally understand if you don't accept this request, no pressure! <3.

Hi sweetheart! Thank you so so much for such kind words!<3 I am happy that you love my writings, as it gives me more motivation to share my ideas with more people.<3<3<3. And yayy another Yandere Indra. He is really one obsessive man and I cant explain just how much I love writing him as a yandere.

Thank you for this AMAZING request. I did my best to write this and hope you will love it. You can request more and I will complete them with great pleasure. Have a good reading cutie<3

Indra knew his s/o since they were kids. Even as a kid, he noticed how strong-willed and strong-minded she was. And of course, she was always appearing in some trouble, from which usually Indra was saving her.  He did like saving her, appearing as a hero in her eyes, but deep in his heart he was afraid that he would not be able to help or save her in some situations.

“You worry too much about me. I am strong and can handle everything life throws at me okay?” she would always tell this to Indra, hoping to calm him and not have him worried over her. Of course, Indra was never fully convinced of it, but as a kid, he tried to trust her and believe in her abilities. Only later on would he regret trusting her words and not listening to his heart.

As they grew up, both their powers grew as well. Despite knowing how strong she was, Indra absolutely hated the idea of his s/o fighting or taking part in anything dangerous. As a pessimist, Indra envisioned multiple bad things happening to his s/o during a mission. The one he was extremely afraid of was of course her dying. Indra would never forgive him for letting his crush die, without ever getting the chance to confess love to her.

His fears unfortunately came true one day, when she returned to the village with her teammates, severely hurt. As soon as he saw her in that state, Indra’s mind filled with dark thoughts about killing the one who dared to hurt her s/o this bad. Of course, with a lot some intimidation and searching, he found the man who hurt her. 

“You touched and hurt what’s mine. You will experience the same pain as she did, but only 10 times harder. I will NOT let you live!” His face and clothes were covered in blood as he finished dealing with the man. Despite mercilessly torturing and killing him, Indra felt unsatisfied. He wished to bring this man back and kill him over and over, till he got that satisfaction. Of course, he did use his visual prowess, but for him it was not enough at all.  

Upon returning back home and seeing his s/o in a bed, Indra’s heart filled with more hate towards the man whom he killed not long ago. He even started to dislike her teammates, even though they also were badly injured. “Imbeciles…” He would think to himself every time he saw them.

“ I am sorry Indra-sama…We were not able to help her and..I am afraid she has lost her eyesight forever”

Indra felt his whole world crush down upon hearing the head medic speak those words. She was now…blind?  Undoubtedly, Indra carried a lot of guilt in his heart, blaming him for not being with her and letting her get hurt to the point of losing her eyesight. 

He spent his free time next to her, tending to her needs and just taking care of her. Now that she is blind, Indra would not let her off his eyesight. If he had to train some students, he asked his two strongest students to guard her and not let anyone, except the medic, go to her. He would try to finish his training soon so he could spend more time with her. 

At first his s/o loved how sweet and caring Indra was, feeling as if she was only now getting to know him and his caring side that Ashura was always talking about. Indra would feed her, keep her company and most importantly speak with her. The more she saw his kind side, the more she started to fall for him. It was a shame she lost her eyesight and could not see his handsome face, but hearing his soft voice was enough for her.

 Her feelings for him were growing day by day and one day she confessed her feelings to him. “I think I am in love with you…Indra-sama” she spoke softly, hearing her own heartbeat in her eyes. She was sure Indra would reject her or ignore her, but she was pleasantly surprised when Indra pressed his lips to hers. “I waited so long to hear those words…I've been in love with you ever since we were kids…I feel accomplished now” He spoke calmly. For both of them this was the ebay day in their lives. However, the love confession would soon enough fuel Indra’s extremely protective and even crazy side to an unbearable point

His s/o  was soon enough able to get out of the bed and was trying to get adjusted to her new life without her eyesight. It was difficult, but she managed to do it. After being able to walk with a cane, she wanted to try and get back to training after her body fully recovered. When she spoke to Indra about it, Indra was very dissatisfied with her desire. “No way. Have you lost your mind? You lost your eyesight and there is no way I am going to have you trained in this state. You should forget about your past life FOREVER. I will be always next to you and take care of you so your training is NOT needed”

She absolutely hated how Indra was constantly with her, scolding her if he noticed her trying to practice in secret. He was now overly protective, not letting her off his eyesight. His s/o was starting to regret falling for him, but she knew there was no way out of this situation. Her only solution was obeying him and not making him angry. After all, her mind was replaying his words which sounded like a treat more and more each day. 

“You belong to me…Don’t ever forget about it, darling. And if you EVER think about disobeying my words, trying to escape or get your life back, I will put a stop to it right there. I WILL NOT hold back..So be a good girl and listen to me~”

🪷 girl fuck these people I'm really sorry you're getting so many messages bitching about no smut in ch10. Like who even cares? Does a story or chapter have no value if the characters aren't going at it like rabbits and fucking and sucking on each other?

At this point if you're so disappointed about no hanky panky just go read one of those pornhwas where the characters start screwing at the drop of a hat.

I would've loved that chapter with smut or without smut idgaf it doesn't even matter to me (and the same is for most of your readers too, I'm sure of it). We've all stuck around with your work for so long, and we have faith in your direction as well as your decisions regarding the pace of the plot. It's never that serious, especially not to the stage that bozos feel the need to weep in a writer's asks and swamp them with negative messages. Go jack off or play dj with your hello kitty and go to sleep like the rest of us.

Again, no matter what you do with your work it's entirely your choice. Ofc we as readers can have our own takes and how or why we interact with the work can vary, but it shouldn't reach this stage. I've seen this same story of bullying and pestering authors on tumblr too many times with other authors whose work I enjoy, and many have left their blogs because the harassment made them lose interest in writing and sharing their pieces. It's fucking heartbreaking. Pornhub dot com is right there for y'all to be doing entirely too much in the asks of these writers who are already overwhelmed and write and share all this FOR FREE. If you have so many qualms about it pick up that bic and get to writing bitch!

I'm sorry babe take care! We love you🫂

AHHH LILYPAD ANON I APPRECIATE U SM THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME 😭😭 you’re always so kind to me i sobs

yeahh sigh :( i was just a bit upset that ppl were already finding fault w a chapter i haven’t even released yet just bc it doesn’t have smut in it 😭😭 like i obviously know by now that i can’t make everyone happy, but it’s not right to subtly pressure me into a certain direction for my story (ik this is a normal thing authors/writers have to deal with, i am just a weakling unfortunately 💀💀 my therapist wld agree)

i know it’s not most of my readers though :”) everyone is so sweet n kind n patient, i just don’t understand the some few that think that just bc they tell me they’re disappointed there’s no smut, that i’m somehow gonna go back to my 80pg dissertation of a chapter n make it 100pgs just to add some for them 😅…like no. what it DOES make me feel is icky n sad

frankly it’s really uncomfortable to make an author feel bad that there’s no explicit sexual content in a story 😅 your horny brainrot is showing. like, i AM def planning to write smut in kickoff, there will be multiple smut scenes to come. but even if i suddenly chose not to include them anymore, that’s my right to do so.

and yes, if they want smut, they can write it themselves. why do i need to be the one to write it for you? i don’t owe anyone anything.

i totally agree w you. honestly, i feel bad sometimes setting these boundaries, but you’re SO RIGHT in that SO many authors leave their platforms bc of hateful asks/pressuring comments etc, i’ve seen it time n time again. bc it’s true that it DOES get to people, especially when creating art is already a very stressful thing. i don’t have to passively tolerate rude strangers on the internet just because i’m trying to protect n pursue my passion

thanks sm for trusting my direction :”) and YES absolutely!! i love it when my readers disagree w character actions or emotions, bc characters have flaws n i’m intentional about those flaws, so it’s exciting to see opinions my readers have, even if they’re in disagreement, because it’s interactive w my work. not that i expect anyone to interact ever. i understand that i post on my own accord, so readers can choose whether to interact on their accord as well.

but something about pressuring me into writing explicit sexual content into a story that i’d like to think is a lot more than just smut, is really disheartening.

Some replies! Some about the ADeuce comic from the other day, some are twst-related, some are a little more random. Not a lot today…

Anonymous asked:

You both ok? You haven’t posted as much the past couple days?

Yeah, we’re good! We just skipped replies yesterday because we were busy + yesterday’s drawing post has a mature content label, so maybe it’s not showing in your feed… A good time to remind to turn it on in your settings if you haven’t and want to see it.

We might skip a day every now and then, don’t worry about us too much. If something important or bad happens, we’ll let you know! Or, if we’re silent for at least two or three days in a row, that might be your queue to start getting worried lol

Pro-crass-i-nate asked:

I love how not one of the twist boys owns and wears waterproof makeup.

Love all your art btw <3

I know right? One would think that with how much water activities they’re having all the time they would at least use magic to waterproof it.

But unfortunately for them, I have my own unique magic, and its entire purpose is to un-waterproof their mascara so I can draw Deuce or Vil crying beautifully.

Thank you btw <3

scrivenger-grimgar asked:

reminded me of your art, cause he like slowly approaches azul slowly and like just hunches over him with his evil grin <3

Ahhh, this entire segment!! <3 Idia teasing Azul and Malleus just standing there, not helping Azul at all and even making it worse~ Idia is such a little (tall) brat sometimes. I love this scene a lot.

Thank you for reminding us of it + I am very happy it reminded you of my art!! <3

blackbutlerfandomnerddomain asked:

I agree Ace! Deuce looks good!!!

Hehe yes! Being a nerd suits him…

icedefloweringtornado asked:

Ace don’t talk as if you’re not thinking about cuming all over Deuce’s glasses.

This is what he is going to be thinking about, no joke. The only time he didn’t fall asleep during Trein’s lecture… because his mind was imagining things very vividly…

I don’t understand why proshippers would have to say they don’t support those things in real life. That’s like asking someone who writes about serial murderers to tell us whether they support murder in rl. Like, duh 🙄

(related to this post)

Yeah, it really doesn’t make sense and kind of sucks. But then again, unfortunately it’s nothing new – Katsu told me about an hour ago about how Scorsese was criticised for not taking a moral stance against the main character of The Wolf of Wall Street lol So we’re not the first and not the last people to keep seeing it until the end of time...

Yamato Hotsuin's Record Breaker Dialogue - Restorer Ending

Strong Breaker dialogue

Saturday 12:00 Strong Breaker

Shinsekai Tsuutenkaku

Someone suddenly calls to you from behind…

Yamato: Well, well, Hibiki. What are you doing here?

Hibiki Kuze: - Ahhh! - It's been a while… - Let's end this…!

Aaah! Yamato: Do you take me for a monster? It's rather rude, reacting to my presence in that manner.

It's been a while… Yamato: The last time we spoke was when I invited you to stand at my side.

Let's end this…! Yamato: Hahaha…! Ever the joker. Don't be so hasty…

Yamato: I heard you put down the Nagoya faction… Very well done, Hibiki. Kuriki hadn't a chance… Anyone who challenges you is a fool, save me of course.

Hibiki Kuze: - Don't make fun of him. - He fought well, but was no match for me.

Don't make fun of him. Yamato: Hahaha…! Forgive me. Could it have been my personality that drove you away?

He fought well, but was no match for me. Yamato: Hahaha! What a sharp tongue you've developed. Then again, you're more capable than he.

Yamato: I'll ask once more: Won't you come with me and help me realize my meritorious world?

Hibiki Kuze: - Sorry, but… No. - I'll pass.

Yamato: How unfortunate. Then let us put an end to this… I will be waiting at the Tsuutenkaku.

Daichi: Hibiki! *pant, pant*

Hibiki Kuze: - What up, Daich? - Hey, Daichi.

What up, Daich? Daichi: Don't "What up, Daich?" me! Wasn't that Yamato!?

Hey, Daichi. Daichi: Hey, man--Wait, no! Wasn't that Yamato!

Daichi: What's with the friendly chat just now!? What if you'd gotten yourself killed!? What did he want, anyway? I mean, what did you say to him?

Hibiki Kuze: - We're finally ending this. - He's waiting up ahead.

Daichi: Ngh… He sure is confident. Although, this may be our chance.

Hibiki Kuze: - What do you mean? - Definitely.

What do you mean? Daichi: Think, dummy! This is way better than having him ambush us!

Definitely. Daichi: This is much better than waiting for him to ambush us!

Daichi: Going up against Yamato… Man, I'm getting chills, but… we can do this!

Yamato: There you are, Hibiki… I was staring to wonder if you'd fled.

Hinako: You stupid jerk! He's not like that!

Yamato: Silence, fool! How dare you speak of him. You're Hibiki's cancer. You're the ones who corrupted him! This ends here. I will turn you all to ashes and dust to see that he comes to his senses!

Hibiki Kuze: - Stop this madness! - This is worse than I anticipated…

Stop this madness! Daichi: H-He's right, Yamato! I'm begging you, stop this right now!

This is worse than I anticipated… Daichi: What are you so calm for man!? Yamato, don't do this!

Io: Yeah! If you can leave your merit system behind, we can work together.

Yamato: Silence, pawns! You ignorant masses are all the same… You cling to people of worth and drag them down to your level, wasting their talents!

Jungo: That's not true! We're friends…! We're not dragging down anyone. You're wrong.

Yamato: I'm wrong? Speaking to those without a clear vision is a waste of time.

Io: Yamato… will never understand.

Yamato: I'll not waste my breath on you! Merely send you into death, myself!

Mid-battle, first turn: Yamato: Mwahaha…hahaha…hhahaha…! Hibiki, why do you think I chose this place for our battleground!? The Tsuutenkaku was built to harness the power of the Dragon Stream as a barrier! Hence, all the power to activate the Dragon Stream is already inside! If those same functions are used on a human, it will strengthen their inner power tremendously!

Yamato: I'm not finished yet! I still have some power remaining… Let's see if you can keep up!

Yamato will now act more frequently in battle…

Yamato: Hahaha! I've still got more tricks up my sleeve! I am far superior to you pawns!

Yamato will now act even more frequently in battle…

Engaging Yamato with Hibiki: Yamato: It's unfortunate, Hibiki… If you'd allied yourself with me, I could have easily reached my goals… But that doesn't matter anymore… I will have my new world. I shall stand as the lone victor!

Post-battle:

Yamato: Ngh… Impossible…! I've been defeated!?

Yamato leaves the area…

Daichi: Holy crap, I nearly had a heart attack! How'd Yamato get so strong…?

Hinako: Seriously! I never thought he'd be that tough. No wonder he was the Chief of JP's.

Hibiki Kuze: - We won, though. - I'm glad that's over.

Hinako: I'm with you on that one. But hey, at least we defeated Osaka and Nagoya!

Io: Mmhm. I'm glad the infighting is finally over.

Daichi: Now all that's left is Benetnasch. Ugh… I'm not looking forward to that fight.

Hibiki Kuze: - We have to stop that attack. - We need a countermeasure.

Jungo: We gotta think of something. We have to stop its attack…

Hinako: *sigh* What're we gonna do? We still haven't decided what to do with this world.

Daichi: Hm… Well, we have some time. Let's table that for now.

Hinako: Welp, no good sitting around here. C'mon, let's go!

You say your farewells to everyone before leaving…

[gojonanami]

As someone who works as a professional editor, I really don't understand what Akutami is currently trying to do. I am honestly really confused.

(That aside, I have to say, I enjoyed your 'The Ethics of Relationships' series so much! It was an absolute pleasure to read! I honestly really wish I worked as your editor – officially. Perhaps, if I am lucky, one day I'll get to help you with your book! <3)

ok after being able to digest and think about 261, I’ll say this, it does make some sense (do I hate it? yes, but from a narrative perspective, it makes sense). manga spoilers below for events up to 261

(I’ll reply to your note at the end here — from a professional editor that means literally so much — thank you I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😭 ahhh I hope you can honestly that would be incredible. I hope I can get to that point soon. Thank you so much babe 😭😭😭 gonna go cry forever)

from yuta’s storyline it makes sense for him — he sees himself as selfish — someone who just protects his friends and the people important to his friends (aka yuji + others). he never agreed with geto even a little because he started saying shit about his friends. and why are his friends important? because they gave him a will to live — when we first meet yuta, he wants to die. He tried to unalive himself, but couldn’t because of rika. gojo told him his curse could protect people and when he made his friends at jujutsu tech, he found his purpose. It makes sense for him now to be come full circle and be willing to use his power to become a monster for his friends and throw his life away for that purpose (not that I want that to happen. I think yuta may survive due to his lineage — because maybe Kenny is related to one of those bloodlines yuta is from therefore five minutes won’t be all he lives for).

second, gojo — from a narrative perspective it doesn’t make sense for gojo to survive. he is not the protagonist— the protagonist is yuji. yuji needs to be the one to take down Sukuna. I knew gojo’s death or relative incapacitation (like losing his abilities or something) was coming because you can’t have a get out of plot free card like gojo. the point of sukuna’s interest in megumi was for a vessel from the start and because he knew his power could help him defeat gojo if necessary in the future. gojo and Geto also mirror each other in so many ways — why not have them suffer the same fate in death? Is it cruel? Yes, my god yes. these two can’t even rest in death. but is it so fitting? Also yes. this story starts and ends with them. their actions set the chain of events in motion, and it makes sense for more tragedy to take place.

now I want gojo to come back as much as the next person — nerfed or changed in some way so he doesn’t have to fight alone. and I think that would be incredibly moving in so many ways. and maybe there’s a chance — I think this fight is gonna answer Geto’s question — are you the strongest because you’re satoru gojo or satoru gojo because you’re the strongest? maybe yuta will be able to switch back or something — maybe gojo will take back his body in some way — who knows?

but this isn’t exactly bad writing. It fucking hurts. It feels like there were other choices to be made — but for a story fraught with tragedy and pain as jjk is — it fits unfortunately.

[nshtn]

5, 12, 24! asking lots because your writing is amazing, plus i have to see more of your sona ❤️❤️

Here you go, Little Anon! You're so sweet ahhh little bean eee!!

5) "They had become well acquainted with him, he thought."

24) The amount of cool adventures and smut I write is untenable and largely unpublished because it's all OC x Canon bullshit I don't think anyone wants to see, such as... (though the one below also applies solid information on my WIP Uroboros Wesker verse).

12) Wesker but he's niceys because of extraneous reasons explained in extreme and unfortunate detail below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I apply the currently understood theory that the hippocampus is physically different in a sociopath / psychopath vs individual not identified to have it, plus the personal verse headcanon that human brains can unassign synapses and their associated axons without neural loss (e.g. emotion ranges in a psychopath, or vision pathways in complete 20-year-sustained blindness, in the same way a Creatures 3 Norn can unassign movement neurons and can have their axons jostled to refresh the synaptic connection).

Then we sandwich the classic "Uroboros, but he lives" and "Uroboros, but he comes back wrong because it infects his brain, even if he's totally compatible". Now, we divert again: What if it reconnected all those silly diminished axons to their previous "known-healthy" state, meaning Wesker is stuck burning alive in a volcano Feeling™ about it? He's burning alive in tarry bubbles of magma, having ego death after ego death while being brazen-bulled over and over until his form finally melts out of the way and re-integrates into a "Wesker-y shape"...

This sets the stage for the story / roleplay, but it's also set-up for my personal Uroboros Wesker I want to write headcanons and xreader content for, whom I don't have a verse name for yet. I am open to suggestions!

[You don't have to read further below if you don't care about the OC x Canon version of this, but I've included lots of juicy medical details with reading links if you'd like more facts about my Wesker's state.]

Wesker ends up going a bit feral for an undisclosed period of time (2-6 months, presumed dead) and eating everything on the island that he can grab in a state of depleted cognitive and physical strength, in a fugue energy starvation state mimicking severe Cannibal Disease, though temporary. He instinctually heads to a TRICELL scientist's house, specifically one who had the gall (or nerve, or bravado) to strike casual conversations with him when he was their boss and they worked on Plaga subspecies classifications in the same building (they're a paleo-biologist(?)) because they're one of the only people he can think of in that moment.

More on that in another post which I'll tag as Hector Maxwell.

Wesker breaks open their door and collapses on their floor not knowing where he is or quite frankly who he is, with extreme, crippling hunger and low insulin, begging for help, something absolutely unprecedented of him. His ghrelin is high, his motilin is out of control, his leptin is nonexistent, and his thiamine is low. His clothing is basically nonexistent save for some flesh-burnt scraps that cling to his skin. He is in unbelievable pain. They load him up on Oxycodone and inject him with insulin and thiamine, give him a glucagon nasal spray and rush him microwave meals (hey, don't judge them) until he stops moaning their name brokenly while trying to resist chewing their hair.

They treat his wounds as best they can with a spare health kit and stitch lacerations shut, and, thus, a type of mysterious acquaintanceship begins as Wesker begins to regain his faculties...

Wesker finds that though he is no less rabidly intelligent, he is afflicted with various irreversible phenotypical mutations and Uroboros has infiltrated his brain tissue. The veins nearest his skin have receded due to T-Virus malnutrition-conservation, his nails are tough, keratinous and claw-like, his teeth are carnivorous with a few extra small canines, his palate is carnivorous with a preference for iron-rich raw red meat with a severe uptick in necessary intake, his scars are scaly, and he has gained an entire sense revolving around his Uroboros tentacles. They now allow him to sense the lightest step from up to a mile away, able to predict earthquakes before they happen and the marching of men or helicopter blades at the expense of severe constant overstimulation he must learn to harness and tamp down.

He's so hungry all the time. He can barely think through the crippling hunger, and he never feels full. The wheel of Samsara bears its' gear upon him daily, as he now feels the full spectrum of emotion at a dramatic and uncontrollable intensity that leaves his eyes like high-lumen floodlights. Not to mention the mental effects... he often feels like his mind slips from him and he does inexplicably animalistic things, like tracking animals with optokinetic vision, twitching and sudden cursing, drooling when food is present, and what seems to present itself as a sort of accursed pack-bonding to such a previously cold man, one who had erroneously believed himself beyond the need for socialization; the paleontologist that is rooming him has to manage and assist as he adapts while also dealing with Wesker getting oddly friendly (sitting next to them, awkward small talk, touchiness/desire for physical reassurance, being awkwardly followed around, falling asleep on them, ... crying to them and often breaking down or becoming hysterical and consolable only through physical touch [hugs, snuggles, the like]).

Eventually, Wesker is forced to reconcile with painful, uncomfortable feelings and undeniable truths; he needs socialization and support now that his tolerance for human suffering is somewhat neurotypical, has been robbed of his ego, status and pride, and can no longer perform unethical bioweapons science to the degree he did previously due to the sheer mental agony that assaults him almost all hours of the day knowing he... he did that. Did it, caused it, was it, made people feel... feel this hunger. A bludgeon, sharp and inescapable... it eats at him, and maybe, maybe that's why he's so goddamn hungry all the time, some kind of punishment...

Anyway, there's smut somewhere in there where he goes hog wild on the cute dino research twink. They end up very much so situationshipping because it's really difficult not to do that when your ex-boss (world's greatest virologist and mass murderer) is snuggling up to you and crying on you and getting in your personal space and experiencing so much pent-up 'need for human contact'. Wesker is bound to fall for someone who meticulously plays doctor, is much shorter and lighter and weaker than he, and, not bound to Umbrella's teachings, is generally compassionate.

It'd be very easy to just sub in a reader instead of Hector, so I'd do that if I wrote for him (and good god I want to so bad).

i didn't visit your tumblr before so this is my first time here and after some scrolling through it i just want to say how shocked i am at stupid comments regarding lucemond "taking too long" and so forth, because your work is clearly one of the best things... ever? i just assumed everyone agrees with it and i can't believe someone wouldn't appreciate such a detailed story with a great plot and exceptional writing? i'm so happy those comments do not affect you (as they SHOULDN'T). i just came here after reading a new chapter, it is so insane! like wow you never disappoint. i just know it will be the work i will come back to more than once in the future ❤️ thank you so much for sharing your talent!

Ahhh thank you so much! I actually saw a comment yesterday that my slowburn is so slow that it sometimes “turns around to retreat some ground it wishes it set deeper footprints in”, and that’s the best way anyone has ever described ‘Tides’ to me. It is what it is, and sometimes it frustrates me, too, but unfortunately we live in that age when anyone on the internet can spit at you and all you can do is shrug and move on—which is exactly what I’m doing.

There is so much more to my writing and my characters than people who hate them. Because there are so. much. more. of those who love them, and I’m very grateful to have your loyalty guys. Very.

[thatswhatsushesaid]

I just wanted to tell you that i love reading your meta so much. Unfortunately i am very easily swayed by others' opinions + when i get very interested in something i often tend to read other people's thoughts before i finish the thing and can have my own opinion (i did this with mdzs too), so i may be biased. But still, you are doing something i can't do myself (yet?) and i enjoy reading your thoughts greatly. Oh, your memes too.

ahhh this is so kind of you to say, thank you!! just for the record, i think it is perfectly natural to want to seek out other people’s thoughts and opinions on something while trying to decide how you feel about a thing. my feelings on various different characters and character dynamics have for sure been influenced by what other users have written over the years (e.g., i used to hhhhhate nmj, but seeking out and listening to people who do like him softened me on him considerably). that’s the good part of fandom imo, sharing ideas and allowing yourself to change your mind based on those ideas.

that said, as i am sure you have probably noticed, i do have strong feelings and opinions about lots of things in this book, and there are some things i am quite firm about, and i don’t anticipate those things changing anytime soon. even so, i do hope you know that disagreement and differing opinions is okay and not something to be afraid of, even if expressing that disagreement risks making other people annoyed. you can’t control how other people respond to your thoughts, and i promise you that no matter what opinion you hold about a thing, there is at least one user in any fandom space who is going to have a problem with it 🤷‍♀️ that’s just what happens when you get a group of people together and ask them to form an opinion about something. you’re going to get sooooo many different opinions, and that doesn’t mean that all of the ones that are different from yours are right. or wrong!

i am a big fan of disagreement in fandom discourse actually, and not just because i enjoy a good argument lmfao but because good disagreement and a bit of friction occasionally forces us to examine and then defend our positions, which helps us better understand why we feel the way we do about a thing. and also, sometimes we discover that we are wrong, or that the issue is more complex than we realize, and we change our minds. it’s hard to do that if we only surround ourselves with people we agree with on 100% of the source material.

anyway, i hope you will feel comfortable and confident enough to share your thoughts in the future because i personally would be very keen to read them, even if i end up disagreeing.

[booplesnotts-art]

Different anon than the one who asks for the OCs. But I am so glad they did because I love them!!

Not to have any favourite...but the woman with the red/orange hair. She looks badass. Is she a killer? Because she shot me straight trough the heart.

Would love to see more of your ocs <3

Ahhh that’s Christine !! This makes me so happy I’m glad you like all of them 🖤🖤

I don’t have any super recent drawings of her unfortunately and cannot get to drawing her right away which is killing me but I do have some older art of her I haven’t posted anywhere so here you go !!

I’m glad you like her !! Feel free to ask me anything about her or any of the other characters on my little doodle sheet 🖤

I love talking about my characters to anyone who will listen to my insane nonsense ramblings so I am very open to expanding on things !!

A short and quick teeny tiny bit of background on her under the cut🖤⬇️⬇️

Her name is Christine Greyroot (which isn’t actually her real name but she’ll literally murder you if you call her by her real one) and also goes by Madam Greyroot for dramatic effect.

She’s my silly little manipulative, unhinged, narcissistic cursebreaker/magical creatures expert who works with my little magic council I made up and is just a little stupid sometimes. The magic council is sorta wrapped around her finger because she has dirt on almost everyone which means she can get away with whatever she wants. She is very much a shady person🖤

She’s a temporary teacher at my other character’s school (for reasons only known to her) and has a particular interest in dragons and causing chaos wherever she goes. She definitely shouldn’t be a teacher and allowed to teach period but she is actually pretty passionate about what she talks about and does take her job sorta seriously. But she does get just a little TOO into what she’s talking about every now and then, especially when she’s telling literal children about the time when she fought and killed a monster in the most graphic way possible.

She loves chaos, drama, flirting with people, and annoying/bullying her favourite tall goth woman who hates her🖤(they’re both mortal enemies). She’ll also absolutely flirt with and use you but my friend still claims her as his wife even though she’s not a very good person🫶🫶 (he really wanted me to be very clear here and write that she was HIS wife) Christine’s silly and fun but gets scary when she gets serious or just when you become one of her targets because she’s a petty bitch who will do anything and everything possible to make those who wronged her suffer.

All of her scars are from past commissions/jobs and such where she’s fought different creatures/monsters; she thinks they make her look cool and badass, someone else would strongly disagree and call her an idiot. Her left arm was bitten off by a dragon so she has a cybernetic one in place of it because I thought it just sounded cool lol.

She also has a motorcycle that she dotes on like it’s her baby (which is also what she calls it) and seems to care more for it than her own students but she’s still one of the most popular teachers there regardless and she thrives off of that popularity (because narcissist)

Her morals are very much grey and she’s hiding some very very dark secrets she intends to take to the grave no matter what but she’s also a riot who loves 80s rock music and punching things with her metal arm and I adore her and her wild self. Love a woman who could actually just kill me fr

Lazarus responses all in one place for better readability wahoo

belphegor1982 Holy cow, we really dodged a bullet there. Thank you for the write-up! I hadn't heard of Lazarus at all before. And now I'm very thankful that the fandom still exists and thrives! 💜

WE REALLY DID LOL. You're very welcome, glad to have been of service! And omg I feel the same ahhh! It's made me really appreciate the little space we built for ourselves over all these years 🥹

-

bisexualroger Was lovely to meet you and fern too! 😊 I definitely agree with this. I’m really glad I went for the experience, I’d have been gutted to have missed it, but ultimately yeah the shortcomings (especially with regard to how they handled the politics of the police 😬) mean it’s for the best we never got Lazarus the show. 

AHHH YES!! Seriously you all made my entire day 🥹🥹🥹 And god yeah, I am also genuinely glad to have been there, because the questions and forever-wondering would have killed my fandom-mojo I think. But now it's done the opposite and I am ENERGISED! I want to re-establish the best parts of the fandom as opposed to what we witnessed in that room! Seriously, all those cis-het men laughing so hard at all the bad jokes made me feel so uncomfortable.

-

youstupidplonkIt was so wonderful to meet you!! You’ve put this into words so much more eloquently than I have managed so far. I really do agree that the way they joked about current politics, both in the police and around the climate felt very out of touch. As you’ve said especially because the main demographic keeping this fandom active is young (from what I can tell) liberal people Thank you again for saying hi to us and taking the time to write this wonderful analysis ❤️❤️

LIKEWISE AHHH!! Your outfit was fantastic btw!! And I'm glad you feel my analysis hit the spot - hearing all the laughter around us and stuff made both Fern and me feel really lonely and out of place at times ghfkjgs. We're both really glad we aren't alone with our sentiments 🥹

-

fleurdeneuf oh wow, thank you for sharing all of this! i'm relieved the show won't be happening.

You're welcome!! It would've felt wrong not to do a little report on this, seeing as the event wasn't well advertised and tickets sold out so quickly. We've got to include the whole fandom in this! 💪

-

partywithponies I think it was very shallow as well in that it was almost entirely Life on Mars with barely any Ashes to Ashes to it at all, and coincidentally, Ashes to Ashes isn't as well known overseas. It didn’t feel for the fans, it just felt like what they thought would sell better. Poor Shaz didn't even get a single vague reference the entire event, and Alex, the literal third main character of the franchise, got one passing moment in the entire pilot.

I agree to some extent - they definitely went for what they felt would have the most recognition value. I do however think that they at least set up quite a bit of Alex involvement, seeing as she's the one who hits Sam and Gene in 2024 (or at least it's heavily implied that it's her). As for Shaz, I have to be cynical and say that with Matt and Ashley being old white men... they've probably forgotten about her and/or don't think she's important. Unfortunately.

Either way, I guess we can both agree that it's a good thing Lazarus isn't getting made as a TV show haha!

-

On a personal note, thank you all for your warm reactions to my little report :') I have to admit I was a bit trepidatious about posting it because of my (and our) negative feelings about it, as contrasted to what Fern and I perceived as a really enthusiastic response from the audience that was present... But I see now I needn't have worried. The fandom I remember and love is still here, and I can't thank you all enough for that. 💚

[raw-law]

light liking The Main Character by Will Wood is very in tune for him. im using the previous Will Wood ask to talk about him myself. overall, i almost prefer the albums he released under the tapeworms name.

im a newer fan for sure (thanks internet friends) but have quickly familiarized myself with his discography. the first song i listened to was Dr Sunshine is Dead. very akin to Noel's Lament from the musical Ride the Cyclone. am absolutely a sucker for theatrics and overdramatics so it was right up my alley.

my initial aversion to listening to Will Wood actually came from I/Me/Myself being a popular tiktok audio. in case i haven't voiced it here, i despise tiktok. it festers negativity. one might argue it is good for spreading activism movements but it is so overrun by misinformation that it loses this purpose. i base this on my personal experience on the app during 2020-2021. i deleted it after that. have only redownloaded it a few times after that to hunt down my old account and cringe at myself. (yes its still public, no you are not getting the @, if u try hard enough, u can find it). all of that to say, i don't like tiktok. thus when songs become popular on there, i used to actively avoid them. it still irritates me sometimes to play songs in the car that are fairly obscure and my friends will sing one random part and I will be like "oh you know (whatever band)?" and they reply "no i know it from tiktok". it has changed how the music scene operates as a whole. there are less localized music scenes and more short form content hoping to get a few lines that make it big on the socials. it makes me sad as a musician and as an artist in this era of over-digitized spread of music. but on the flip side, it does allow musicians to distribute so much easier to a much more vast audience. but there is less close connection with it. i have read books about the music scene of the early 2000s and it is an era we will unfortunately never repeat with the state of the internet.

sorry for the tangent, thats not where i was originally going with that but its where i ended up.

-🦌

L:

ahhh..... poor noel gruber.. you would have loved will wood.. (oh, the tapeworm albums are a good choice. those have all of my favorite songs. :) )

your thoughts are certainly intriguing though. i see where you're coming from with the whole "festering negativity" bit. it's very... brainrot-y, and it's clearly had a large effect on the overall population. however, i will say that i think all social media platforms do this, and you simply have to learn to control your social media experience to use it in a beneficial way. though it is unfortunate that oftentimes people have to learn that the hard way.

i also very much agree that it's had a heavy effect on the music industry.. it's a bit sad to see, and i don't even consider myself a musician. the only reason i ever liked indulging with music scenes was because i liked observing the community. i've stopped doing it as much as of recent, mainly because it feels like there's less of a community to observe anymore. that can go for a lot of things, actually. everything just feels.. a little less authentic. it's disappointing. i try not to think about it.

despite all that, i don't think it's a crime to enjoy a popular song. simply enjoy the song because of its contents. said song being popular just means it gave you the opportunity to come across it. and who knows, maybe it can give you the opportunity to teach those tiktok friends who only know a section of the song how to appreciate it to its full extent. it doesn't have to be all bad.

i mean... i'll admit, i've taken a liking to taylor swift just today. not sure how i feel about it, but eh.. i couldn't care less. "Picture To Burn" is a fun song. i can't deny it.

Light:

Ooh. I do agree with your point that social media fosters negativity. There've been several really good books written on the subject, actually---social media radicalizes people who mightn't have access to reliable information (I think it's mentioned in How to Stand Up to A Dictator and Misbelief) and also makes people feel self-conscious about themselves, thinking that they have to be slimmer or taller or shorter or better-looking and the list goes on (I'm starting a book about it called Perfect, which mainly focuses on body image issues caused by social media in young girls/women).

However, social media also does have benefits, but like everything, only when it's used appropriately and in moderation. It allows employers to connect with employees and for information to get around the world much faster.

But then again, like you said, Tiktok encourages shorter attention spans in those who frequently use it. People only know part of a song because of Tiktok, not because they truly appreciate it in its entirety. This also encourages musicians to create shorter and shorter songs, which isn't exactly where the music industry should be going towards. However, this also has its benefits, like allowing small indie artists to share their work with a global audience and gain more following, so...

I suppose, at the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal preference. Everything is a double-edged sword, and the most important thing is how you choose to use it.

That being said, I guess don't let Tiktok affect you into avoiding popular songs. My view is, songs can be popular on Tiktok, but if you enjoy them, it isn't worth it to avoid them just because of that. I get what you mean, but that's my opinion.

Thanks for your ask!

[unpopularwriter25]

It’s me again ^0^ I rlly liked the last one w/ Keiko and I have one more oc for kny if thats ok? :D

Name: Sora Hoshino

Age: 23/24

Gender: Female || Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Sora’s short, only 150cm tall. She’s plump and chubby, having a pear shaped body. (Sora has chubby turnip legs hehe). She has black to purple hair which is often tied up in a bun. She has a scar across the middle of her face, reaching up to her nose. Sora has earrings shaped as a star. Hoshino wears the usual demon slayer uniform (black) but sleeveless. Sora has a dark blue haori which do not cover up her shoulders. The bottom is decorated with white constellations. Her eyes are often seen as tired, but her smile is soft and gentle. Sora also wears a monocle on her right eye!|| Weapon: Sora uses a scythe which also doubles as a grappling hook!

Personality: She’s quite shy upon first encounters, often hesitating to even squeak a single word from her throat. But as the Constellation Hashira warms up to the person, Sora tends to speak quite loudly and often talks with excitement and enthusiasm about her interests. When she’s on missions with younger slayers, Sora acts like a mother figure. Sora makes sure that the slayers are comfortable and have some hope in themselves before and after the mission. “Objection! I disagree!” Is not something Sora would outright say, often silently withdrawing herself from the conversation. In all in all, Sora is a shy but yet, loud and enthusiastic character. She enjoys taking care of those younger than her and enjoys talking about her interests.

Hobbies: Sora spends her free time researching and working on biology and chemistry. She enjoys helping Shinobu in her free time at the Butterfly Mansion. She also enjoys chasing snails and other insects. Sora does get quite angry when someone insults the bug or crushes it. The Constellation Hashira often researches about bugs or constellations (obviously). She based her breathing style off of her love for constellations and the stars. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and writing!

Likes/Dislikes: Sora enjoys spending time with children. Playing, comforting, feeding, you name it! She likes curling up in a warm room, being cuddled and just reading her favourite book in silence. Sora also enjoys physical affection, and is her main way of showing her love (if she’s not reading cheesy poems or yapping about some new bug she read about). Sora does not like it when someone insults a random roach she had found and now keeps as a pet. She gets easily angry when they do so. In general, she does not like insulting unless it’s to an evil person/demon. Sora doesn’t enjoy being alone for too long, it starts to get to her slowly. Hoshino is also ashamed of her body, thinking she’s too wide or chubby.

A bit of background information: Sora used to be a mother and wife, unfortunately both have passed away due to a demon. Hence why she has decided to become a slayer. Sora often questions her ability when it comes to missions, wondering if she could really protect the people she loves. (Sora does bash herself if one of the slayers she is working with gets seriously hurt).

ANYWAYS TYSM!!!!!! AHHH!!! This is super fun for me as I get to see who (my already shipped) ocs get to be paired with! This allows me to experiment with all sorts of new ships. I really am super happy, TYSM!!!!

Thank you for the request!! I hope you enjoy!!

I ship you with Tengen Uzui!!

Tengen’s larger-than-life, flamboyant personality is a perfect counterbalance to Sora’s shy and reserved demeanor. His confidence and assertiveness can help Sora feel more at ease and gradually draw her out of her shell. Conversely, Sora’s gentle and nurturing nature can temper Tengen’s occasional brashness, grounding him and providing a calming influence.

Once Sora warms up to someone, she becomes loud and enthusiastic, similar to Tengen’s always-energetic persona. This shared enthusiasm can create a vibrant, lively atmosphere when they are together, fostering a strong, supportive bond.

Sora’s motherly instincts towards younger slayers align with Tengen’s protective nature towards his comrades and wives. Both characters are deeply compassionate and prioritize the well-being of those around them, making them a formidable team in both battle and daily life.

Their shared experiences of loss (Sora losing her family, and Tengen his siblings and many comrades) create a foundation of mutual understanding and empathy. This common ground allows them to provide each other with emotional support and comfort.

The significant height difference between Tengen (198 cm) and Sora (150 cm) creates a visually striking pair. Tengen’s tall, imposing figure contrasts with Sora’s petite stature, emphasizing his protective role and her delicate yet strong presence.

Their physical contrast can also lead to endearing interactions, such as Tengen often looking out for Sora, and Sora providing subtle, nurturing care for Tengen.

Tengen’s flamboyant and colorful style, with his headband, flashy attire, and jewel-adorned look, contrasts beautifully with Sora’s dark blue and black uniform decorated with white constellations. This visual diversity highlights their unique personalities and strengths.

Sora’s role as a mother figure to younger slayers complements Tengen’s protective nature. Together, they can create a supportive environment for their comrades, ensuring both physical safety and emotional well-being.

Tengen’s experience and skills as a Hashira can help mentor Sora in combat techniques and strategies, while Sora’s nurturing side can aid in caring for injured or traumatized slayers, complementing Tengen’s efforts.

Sora’s Constellation Breathing techniques, which likely involve intricate and celestial-themed moves, can synergize with Tengen’s Sound Breathing, which focuses on rhythm and explosive power. Their combined abilities can create a unique and formidable fighting style, covering each other’s weaknesses and enhancing their strengths.

Sora’s scythe, doubling as a grappling hook, offers versatility and agility in combat, complementing Tengen’s dual Nichirin cleavers. This combination can lead to innovative strategies and dynamic teamwork in battle.

Both characters have experienced significant loss due to demons. This shared history allows them to understand each other’s pain and provide mutual support. Tengen’s resilience and confidence can help Sora build her self-assurance, while Sora’s gentle, nurturing presence can offer Tengen the emotional solace he sometimes needs.

Tengen’s unwavering confidence can inspire Sora to believe more in her own abilities, helping her overcome her self-doubt and insecurities about her body and skills. In turn, Sora’s empathetic nature can help Tengen connect more deeply with his own emotions and those of others.

Tengen’s Sound Breathing, which utilizes sound waves and explosive techniques, can be complemented by Sora’s Constellation Breathing, which likely involves precise, celestial-themed attacks. This combination can create a powerful and versatile combat duo, capable of handling various types of demons and battle scenarios.

Sora’s grappling hook scythe adds a layer of mobility and surprise to their combat tactics, while Tengen’s agility and strength can provide the brute force needed in battles. Their different yet complementary fighting styles allow them to adapt to various challenges and support each other effectively.

ahhh no way i feel like you have so much elvis knowledge under your belt already!! like i said the other day, i love reading the little easter eggs you leave in your stories!

if we’re talking books about elvis’s relationships then obviously the most comprehensive one is alanna nash’s ‘baby let’s play house’ (you can def find this one online free). some people don’t like it because they view it as sensationalism but it does go into almost every single relationship he had with a woman so it’s an interesting read as far as that is concerned. she’s also written three? other books about/relevant to him, and i’d say to give those a read, too. (side bar—for more info on his relationship with priscilla obviously her book is a must-read, but i’d also recommend ‘child bride’ by suzanne finstad. it doesn’t paint a great picture of priscilla, but it does give more insight into their relationship, and interviews people from priscilla’s past).

joyce bova’s ‘don’t ask forever’ is very interesting and sweet, and a little heart wrenching at times. they were together from 69 through to 72. she was actually the reason he flew to DC when the infamous nixon visit happened. it’s so much wilder than just him going to the white house 😭 he comes across as a deeply emotional man who at times felt too much and had a bit of a selfish streak, which is unfortunate but true of him.

linda’s book is one of my favourites and i always cry reading it, and as much as i don’t like her, ginger’s book does lend a look into the last year of his life. anita’s book also lends some insight.

‘are you lonesome tonight’ by lucy de barbin gives insight into a teenage elvis. ‘elvis and gladys’ by elaine dundy obviously discusses his relationship with his mother, but i think understanding that is integral to understanding *him* and how he navigated these relationships with women.

you’ve already mentioned guralnick and i think any of his books are required reading for elvis fans tbh.

some others you might find interesting (though aren’t about his romantic life specifically) is ‘the jewish world of elvis presley’ by roselle kline chartock and larry geller’s book. elvis confided so much in larry and it’s sad to see how outside forces were working to rip them apart, basically.

there’s just so many books on elvis, i couldn’t even possibly begin to name them all, but these are some i def recommend.

Seriously you are one of the people I think about when I write. I am here too study this man like my life depends on it, knowing him more and more just makes me so happy, and I think its fucking beautiful to have someone notice it.... its a pleasure loop for me.....

I have the Guralnick, Nash and then Priscilla's books and I ... ahem... did obtain them online.... but I feel like we are doing a public service publishing this list.. i had heard of child bride, and maybe the jewish one to, but some of the others i hadn't... jerry's book is on my list to, i started reading george's but something about it turned me off... maybe it just seemed obsequious to me... but I suppose it would be good to read, its at the bottom of the list.... honestly, the books by the women in his life appeal to me quite a lot....

thanks sweet love,

xoxox norah
