I was already happy to see you enjoying the old Utena posts and I see you have also discovered the glory of Franziska von Karna and her silly little brother, your taste is unparalled

thank u omg i'm so relieved you don't mind me posting your entire blog.

I have a confession, Your Honor. I had started Utena and was like "oh, this is already a gourmet meal, but you know what would pair really well with this? some circa early 2000's m/m queerbait, for contrast. Something I can put on and not really pay attention to while I work. Hey, you know what would be REALLY FUNNY to listen to while I do work for a LAW FIRM?"

In my hubris, in my disdain for those who conflate queerbait with queercoding and my vanity at never giving a shit about any of the Super the Who or the Lock, I forgot a fundamental sociological fact: I am not immune to queerbait.

NOBODY FUCKING TOLD ME ABOUT FRANZISKA VON KARMA. WHY THE FUCK DID EVERY HOMOEROTIC WHITE-HAIRED GLASSES TSUNDERE WITH AN EMO BACKSTORY NOT COME WITH A BONUS CODED LESBIAN DOMINATRIX WITH THE SAME TRAGIC BACKSTORY. WHAT THE FUCK, EARLY AUGHTS? THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDARD PRACTICE. WHAT THE FUCK.

do u have the forbidden Franziska/Adrian fic? i obvs love The Siblings Content they were created in a lab to destroy Me Specifically but I am having surprisingly difficult time locating renderings of "My Brother Just Confirmed He's Not Dead By Humiliating Me At Work And Now This Girl Is Confiding In Me That She Stabbed A Corpse And Apparently My Not Dead Brother Humiliated HER In A Public Forum TOO While I Was SHOT....wonder if she'd get coffee with me once she's out of jail." just general perfectionist lesbians content is a thing i would take recs for, if u have them laying around.

I do not know how far you scrolled back on my blog but I would be SO REMISS if I did not make CERTAIN you saw this: https://www.tumblr.com/festeringfae/720158617286868992/i-did-not-put-in-my-original-post-that

You know you can talk all the shit you want about Madoka Magica, but you have to admit that the Meduka Meguca memes gave us so many valuable phrases and ways to express important emotions and concepts.

Mob Psycho Fic Recs: Train OVA

Sadly there are not a lot of fics that have to do with the events of the 2nd OVA. I know I'm not the only one who likes seeing Reigen being put through the wringer (sorry Reigen). So here's a list of fics I've found that focus on the OVA or at least talk about it to some degree.

Keep in mind that the fic is complete unless I mention otherwise.

Feel free to recommend fics in the comments!

About It

fics that focus on the OVA

Yesterday by ch_am

I'd say this one is my favorite of the fics that focus on the OVA. Takes place during and after hot springs OVA. Shows Reigen's experience in the parallel dimension. On the train ride home, Reigen has a panic attack and runs off to the bathroom, Serizawa helps him and realizes that Reigen was in that dimension for awhile. Serizawa goes back home with Reigen to make sure that when he wakes up he won't be alone again. They eat breakfast together and talk about what happened.

Rails by BeyondTheClouds777

Takes place 2 weeks after OVA. Serizawa and Reigen are going on an exorcism job and take the train. Serizawa is still nervous about doing a good job with his job. The train ride to the job went ok, but train ride back was empty and Reigen isn't doing well and has a panic attack. Serizawa helps and insists that they get off the train and stay in a hotel overnight. They talk about stuff in the morning.

The First Spirits and Such Company Trip: Aftermath by acemmetry

Reigen isn't doing well and Ritsu notices that there's something off about him and Ritsu is concerned but doesn't want to admit it. Reigen has a panic attack on the train ride back and Serizawa helps him, this is seen through Ritsu eyes. Ritsu is shocked seeing this and has no idea what to do about it. Completion status is complicated. The 2nd chapter is an author note about rewriting the 2nd part, so it's clear there is meant to be more. But the 1st chapter could still be read as a standalone.

Drag me away from it by cabbagetheo

Takes place about a month after OVA. Reigen's been having nightmares about his time on the train. Serizawa and Reigen pull an old-nighter in the office to work on stuff and Reigen falls asleep, having another nightmare. Serizawa comforts him after he wakes up and tells Serizawa about the nightmares.

Worth Having Around by azuresquirrel

Well the first chapter doesn't have to do with the OVA, the 2nd chapter is focused on it. The fic as a whole is about Serizawa and Reigen being there for each other. 2nd chapter has Reigen being anxious about having to take the train to a job and Serizawa giving him some comfort.

Not a fic but some good fan art: here

Also here's a link to a Youtube Video of the OVA audio drama with an English translation: here

Mentions It

The OVA is not the focus of the fic but it does mention it in a significant enough way (even if its one scene) that I will include it in this list.

In Other Words by nozokao

As a whole, this fic is focused on Reigen and Serizawa's relationship and them getting together. Chapter 5 begins with stuff having too do with the train trip. In chapter 8 Reigen took a nap while keeping Serizawa company and had a nightmare about being on the train. They talk about it after he wakes up.

Life in Technicolor by BinaryDreams1010

Highly recommend reading the previous fic in this series "Rainbow Veins" before this one. These two fics have Reigen being an empath. This fic has a scene about halfway through that takes place on a train. Reigen's empath powers are weakened due to an earlier attempted exorcism not going well. He's a bit freaked out about being on a train and not being able to feel the other people there despite being able to see them.

Got my tickets to see Schmigadoon! Haven't been to the Kennedy Center since I saw Chess with @azuresquirrel and I'm always down for a lil trip to DC!

Nick Cave tickets in columbus were surprisingly brutal, as the CAPA website did NOT have the capacity for this, but I'm trying box seats for the first time in my life bc that's what the ticket gacha spat out at me

Tag Games, Baby! from @homoeroticfisticuffs

- rules: answer and tag nine people you want to get to know better and catch up with.

favorite color: Blue or red, I look good in both.

last song: I Will Dare by the Replacements. I was listening to a certain soundtrack in the car....

currently reading: Ugh, I'm not reading anything not work related at the moment but I did recently finish a murder mystery from the 1940s called something like Tainted by Death. A missing snood was instrumental to solving the case. I like my noir books written by ladies, what can I say.

currently watching: We started re-watching LA!OP last night, but we just finished Hit Monkey which is terrific.

currently craving: gonna be eating lunch soon, this curried chicken salad better be good.

coffee or tea: I love tea. Tea is my friend. When it gets cold I will consume more.

hobby to try: to try? Whatever I do it should be gentle on my hands, I'm terrible to them. But I've started doing some gardening stuff and I'm attempting to propagate some ice plants. I need them to take over as ground cover in my front yard. Kill the weeds. Kill the weeds.

current au: huh, I'm not really writing an AU this exact second. But I do want to do a short coda to the arranged marriage AU where they rescue Mantis. (and to explain why Peter doesn't mention her the whole story)

tagging (ugh, I might be short and none of you need to do this if you don't have time): @asoeiki @azuresquirrel @fend13th @ai-kue

@azuresquirrel on the topic of Quark:

[lemedy]

@azuresquirrel did me the solid of sending Defunctland's latest episode on Dreamworld, a theme park I have always lived about an hour's drive away from and have been to frankly too many times in my life.

so of course I'm immediately watching and this particular horror pops up:

HORRIFIC CHILDHOOD MEMORY UNLOCKED.

@azuresquirrel

I could have lived in peace (stayed warm in my bed) but my enemies (job that pays my bills) brought me war (e-mails i have to respond to)

@azuresquirrel Thank you! And I am! Trying to beat Jevil as we speak.

[kurozu501]

I still haven't really processed that I went into Beastars expecting it to be "furries be horny" and what I actually got was "THE EPIC HIGHS AND LOWS OF HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB (and furries be horny)"

i genuinely love how the acting club stuff is woven in tho. episode 3 tells you everything you need to know about louis’ character, doing ridiculous, self destructive shit because he lives for drama and the desire to prove himself. 

[keyofjetwolf]

I ended up falling off the Orphan Black train before it finished but your liveblogs lately are reminding me how much I enjoyed the first season, and I'm SO happy that you turned around from your initial impression of Felix, who I love, I was mentally screaming "BUT JET, HE'S HER *FOUND FAMILY* AND ALSO HE'S GREAT"

I WAS A FOOL I DID NOT KNOW

[lemedy]

my friend. my dear friend.

on this day I promise you that the day you come here, I am immediately making you a pie floater.

[sailormoonsub]

I'M SO EXCITED FOR FRUITS BASKET! There's some stuff in it that hasn't aged gracefully (late 90s shoujo, what are you going to do) but I think it's a really good story and maybe that's just nostalgia talking, but I'm very glad you have quickly identified Uo and Hana as objectively the best characters (why are the heroine's best friend(s) always the best characters)

YESSSSS I AM SO GLAD!!! I’m hoping if I could survive the sailor moon manga’s “oh yikes” moments this won’t be too bad. Also,

[amboato]

@azuresquirrel someone agrees with you ☺️
