A Study of an Omegaverse Concept I've Only Used Once (so far) and a Comparison With Most of Its Modern Counterparts

Author/s: Gim et al

(I started this last night at like 2am and when I woke up I decided to finish it lmao)

it's uhh way past midnight and... I'm kinda thinking about the omegaverse au we've started with 'bad idea' and how their secondaries aren't necessarily determined by birth... technically.

✨Pheromones✨

Omegas are born with and produce omega pheromones, and Alphas do the same with alpha pheromones. In this though, Betas work more like.. a sponge or an empty pitcher. But then again one of the hallmarks of Omegaverse are the additional characteristics Alphas and Omegas have. Would this mean that technically, everyone has the "secondary traits"? only being amplified if enough of either pheromone is in their body?

Anyways back to the pheromones, does it have a physical form? Like microscopic cells or maybe some weird sort of aura. Do people have a limit of how much they can produce? With Betas, do they have a limit of how much they can store?

That then brings up the means of transmission. How do these pheromones move from one person to another? Well boning is a given, if anything the one place pheromones should be is in bodily fluids but then do they need to bone? Is there someone out there selling like, potions or milkshakes that are guaranteed to make Betas more alpha-like or omega-like? Only temporarily of course, because it's starting to look like 'pheromones' is a consumable resource that can either run out or just fade in time, especially in Betas that don't really produce their own.

Ok so, Alphas and Omegas can give Betas a bunch of their pheromones, and if given enough, they can induce temporary changes to their anatomy. What'll happen if they were given an equal amount of both pheromones? At the same time? (🥴 e-ehem) I'm guessing both secondary traits but at a lesser degree.

But then how would bitching or studding work? It's kind of like... a system override isn't it. If two Omegas in heat were to bone what determines which one gets studded? Is it guaranteed? Maybe not as much for Omegas, higher chances for Alphas though? Hmm. Biologically though, how does it work?

In a bitching scenario if an Alpha was to inject his own pheromones into another Alpha, the "weaker" Alpha's whole biology would shift to produce Omega pheromones to accept the sudden deluge of Alpha ji- pheromones. In studding, it would be the "weaker" Omega's pheromones begging the "stronger" Omega for a compatible pheromone to bond with, thus also altering their biology. So in theory, its like a biochemical response right?

Also, there's a pretty noticable change in demeanor when they've undergone the process isn't there. Like Doc's body language and whatnot. I do think pheromones has something to do with it but the changes in behavior are definitely more apparent in bitching/studding than it is with Betas being filled.

I guess that goes back to the fact that Alphas and Omegas are more sensitive to pheromonal changes than Betas would be? Hmm perhaps.

Conclusion

I should sleep before 2 am because my thoughts get too loopy otherwise.

93. “You didn’t just wake me up at 2am because you were ‘in the mood’.” ‼️ With Jack Hughes 😏

Thank you for requesting. 🫶🏻 this does seem very on brand for Jack

"You didn't just wake me up at 2 am because you were 'in the mood.'

Tossing and turning for hours, you always struggled sleeping when you knew Jack was actively traveling during his roadies. Something about knowing he was on a plane or a long bus ride kept you on edge until you got the text he got to where he was safe. So, not being asleep at 1 AM, you could easily blame it on that or maybe it was a little excitement knowing he was on the way home to you after a little over a week.

Somehow, even though you fully planned at this point to just stay awake until he got home, suddenly you're eyes were starting to get heavy and you started yawning. It felt like only a minute before you felt Jack crawling into bed.

"hi baby." he whispered knowing you were always a light sleeper and woke up every-time no matter how much your body needed sleep. He pulled you towards but somehow ended up on top of you, resting his weight on your body bringing that cozy feeling in the pit of your stomach spread.

"Hmm Jacky." you mumbled moving slightly to give him more access as he started kissing your check down to that spot on your neck, lightly nipping at you're collar bone. You felt yourself immidately react pulling him closer.

"missed you baby." he whispered in your ear before attacking ear and suddenly you were no longer floating between dreamland and being awake. Immediately, opening your eyes, turning your head to the little clock you kept on your bedside table. Shocked to find out you had only been asleep for about 30 minutes. Sighing and your voice heavy with sleep still, your eyebrows scrunched down in confusion, as you mumbled. "Jack whhyy are you on top of me?"

"I missed you is all." he mumbled, digging his face further into neck, softly rolling his hips, you could feel his fully hard dick as he sighed in relief.

"uhhh huh, yup you just missed me?"

"yup"

"So you didn't wake me at 2 am because you were 'in the mood'? Just cause you missed me?" you asked teasingly a small smile on your face.

"well if you're offering." he was quick to answer teasing your nipples through your thin shirt your nipples immediately hardening due to not wearing a bra.

You couldn't help but laugh at his response. "I wasn't offering." pulling him closer. "But I guess I can be a team player" you joke.

"I love you." as he sat up and removed his hoodie quickly.

"I know." you smiled up at him as he started pulling your shirt over your head.

A goodbye post I guess?

Hey yall, i wanted to write something about all of this as this may be the last time I talk about this show. Apologies in advance, this will be long and all over the place cause im using this little essay to get it off my chest and help me calm down my anxiety. Strap in, this will be a doozy.

First off, no matter how sad and disappointed we are, let’s please not stoop down to the level of those fans when it comes to voicing our issues with this situation. Please, let’s not harass, call people names, send them threats, etc. we can voice our opinions in an adult way, and although it fucking hurts and it makes us want to shout from the rooftops and call Murphy, Minear and Stark every name in the sun, we need to be grown ups and come out on top of it.

That being said, I want to first acknowledge how fun and cool yall are. We endured A LOT of shit since april and all that bullshit didn’t stop you from keeping the positivity going. I applaud you all for that. It has been hard. I came in contact and became friends with some really nice people here and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I loved being a part of this fandom and it physically hurts me that this feels like it was all for nothing.

Even though I feel like a fool as well, I hate to see how you are all so sad with this. This wasn’t our fault. We were not naive for believing that this storyline could’ve been great. Don’t blame yourself for being taken advantage of. Because that’s what they did. They saw the opportunity to profit from a community and took it. They are the ones in the wrong. They used us for brownie points and then tossed us away like trash the second they got what they wanted. It’s on them.

What I’m about to say now will sound hypocritical as I’m writing this at 2am while trying to cope with an anxiety attack caused by this very show, but what we can take away from this is that unfortunately, we can’t rely on tv shows for happiness. Yes, that’s a bitter pill to swallow, specially in this political climate as we were hoping for some sort of escape from the horrors of the elections. What i took away from this is that I need to (for lack of a better word) touch grass. I need hobbies, I need friends. All things that I’ve been lacking because fandom stuff is easier. I need to find stuff that makes me happy that doesn’t depend on outside factors. But also I want to make sure that if a show is all you have, that’s okay and is even more okay to feel betrayed. I was an absolute mess a few years ago when a show I adored stabbed their fans in the back, but it gets better. You still get angry remembering you were done dirty but I promise that the memories that stick are the positive ones.

I don’t wanna go on a deleting spree but I also don’t want to be reminded of this hurtful moment as the wound is still fresh, so I’m deciding to reevaluate some things offline, like I did with previous fandoms, and come back when I’m ready. I don’t think I’ll leave tumblr or never watch/talk about 911 again but I need some time and space from it so I can feel better. I don’t want to doom scroll through the tags like I did tonight. What Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear and Oliver Stark did to us was awful, but the best thing I can do is not let these three men influence my mental health. I won’t let a tv show ruin me because it’s not my fault. It’s not our fault to believe that there were half decent people in the entertainment industry that cares about the portrayal of queer individuals. They will have to sleep at night with that knowledge and deal with the consequences from the BoBs. And if these guys decide to humor the BoBs that’s their funeral. It would further show they never cared about representation and just wanted to save face after making so many people miserable for simply enjoying a canon ship. I hope they can see the consequences because I’m not even the target here. I’m hurt for all the queer men that saw themselves in buck and tommy, that even messaged the actors thanking them for their honest portrayal.

In conclusion, here’s my goodbye (for now).

Thank you so much bucktommy nation!

Yall are the best,

Love, Lety 🖤

Here my honest opinion on the Ayrton Senna (+ the documentary movie from 2010)

[So I'm gonna start with some basis, I'm born in Brazil and while I was a baby my mum watched Formula 1 all of the time. When I moved in North Macedonia when I was 3 years old my mum continued watching F1, and growing up I really started to like it. After Abu Dhabi 2021 when I was 14 I decided to stop watching for a while bc it was very difficult for me as a Lewis and Max fan. I also had to focus on school and etc. I watched a little in 2023 but not really much. I started getting obsessed with F1 again in Sept 2024. ]

It might sound crazy (bc I'm half Brazilian) but I've never been interested in Senna. I was in Brazil only 2/3 years of my life and I was ofc a baby so I don't really remember anything from there. My mum to this day is a huge fan of his but I was never really interested in classic F1. During the winter break I decided to watch some F1 movies and my mum suggestioned the Senna Documentary. I was excited but at the same time I wasn't expecting much bc we Brazilians have multiple wdc. When I started watching it I got bored in the start but as the film went on I got very interested. In the end I was shaking and crying. I don't think I've ever reacted that way to someone that died years before I was born. At that point I realized how important Ayrton is to Brazilians. And that's how I'm here rn haha

Tho I don't think the documentary was good. Just hear me out. There are a lot of major things they skipped that I had to look up online to find out. I'? Disappointed that they didn't talk about how much Schumacher blamed himself after the accident and the fact that he 'gifted' the championship to Ayrton. Also the documentary did NOT show any of the friendship between Senna and Prost. I had to stay up till 2am a few nights to find about the whole lore. And I guess back in 2010 Prost wasn't talking a lot about his relationship with Senna which is totally understandable but still you could've done more researches to show their friendship

And Ayrton as a person, I love him. I can't stand these allegations that he was a pdf. Back I'm the 80s/90s in Brazil it was legal to date a 15 year old (while being 25). My mum has told me multiple times abt a friend of her that dated a 28 year old in 1994 (they were 15). Yeah it most definitely isn't THE BEST thing you should and could do but it wasn't illigal neither it was pdf. I love the fact that he was so proud of his nationality and that a lot of the money he earned went to charity bc the situation in Brazil was very hard back then. My mum attended to his funeral and she always told me how everyone was crying (including her). So overall I love Ayrton and I'm so sad he's not here with us anymore. In my mind he's just one lap ahead 🩷

i watched my best friend on stage, looking like he’s cumming as he plays his guitar. least to say, i was mesmerized. his beauty was captured in the perfect way by many things. his sweat slicked hair stuck to his face, the straps to his overalls slightly falling off his toned shoulders and the bright stage lights complemented him perfectly. the way he parted his mouth and furrowed his brows had me feeling some way. well, it powered the way i was feeling towards him even more. i felt like every other fan girl of his, thirsting over the way he expresses himself while playing, but i honestly couldn’t blame them.

i knew the band was reaching towards the end of their show, all of them covered in sweat. i mentally cursed myself at the feeling deep down in my stomach, guilty of how i feel about my best friend. i wished to go to the bathroom and freshen up but being right up front prevented me from doing so. after two more songs they finally ended their show, thanking everyone for attending. i stood in the same spot for a bit, waiting for the place to empty out before heading backstage.

i reach in my pocket for some pass i was given to flash to security so no hassle would happen over me trying to “trespass”. the blank white walls was all i saw as i made my way to his dressing room, carefully reading the signs so i wouldn’t walk in on anyone else. i scan the handwritten sign taped to the white door in front of my eyes.

‘john frusciante’

i quietly knock on the door, stomach doing flips as i picture his sweaty self opening the door. and that’s exactly what i saw. he grinned brightly at my presence, his strong chest slicked with sweat.

“i thought you’d get lost.” he joked, walking back towards the couch in his room.

“i honestly thought i was for a sec.” i laugh back, walking in and closing the door behind me.

“how’d you enjoy it?” he wiped the sweat off his neck with a hand towel.

“eh, it was okay.” i lie.

“staring at anthony too long kinda ruined it, huh?” he joked.

the joke caught me off guard as i let out a laugh.

“you read my mind, they should have you in the front.” i suggest, sitting down next to him.

“nah, seeing my beauty is a privilege.”

i nod in agreement, so lucky to be close with him.

“i saw you kinda spaced out towards the end, anything to share?”

“huh? oh, nah nothing to report. just thought some…thoughts.”

“oooo, who’s the lucky guy?” he wiggled his eyebrows.

“what? what makes you think it was like that?” my nerves began slowly rising.

“that pause you did indicates it was about a guy. since i’m your best friend i’m obligated to know who’s on your mind.”

“no way, i’m not saying.” i awkwardly chuckle, hoping he’d leave it alone.

but knowing john, he won’t. and that’s exactly what he did.

“oh come onnnn, pleaseeee.” he began leaning on me.

i try to shove him off but he put his dead weight on me, head sliding down to eventually rest in my lap.

“please?” he pouts and attempts puppy dog eyes.

“no.”

“why not? i tell you stuff like that.”

“against my will.” i lightly laugh, trying to distract him.

“is it one of my band mates? please don’t tell me it’s anthony.” he quickly sits up at the thought of me thinking about anthony like that.

“what? no, it’s not your band mates.” i immediately shake my head.

“describe him then.”

“i literally hate you.”

“i think you absolutely love me.” he cheekily smiles.

he gives me a pressuring puppy dog eye look that works this time. i sigh in defeat, guessing that it’s better to tell him now rather than having me awkwardly bring it up later on.

“he has this gorgeous facial bone structure. his hair is an absolutely beautiful color, complimenting him wonderfully. his body is sculpted in a way you’d never think would be possible. i hate when his eyes look at me, they’re breathtaking and they make me feel like i’m on fire. his touch is so delicate when he doesn’t mean to be. his fingers are a blessing, crafted to move in an articulate way to match the way he does what he does for a living. the way his mind works is crazy to me, his words like addicting honey that stick me to him forever. i hate thinking of him like this but it’s hard not to.” i spit out.

the entire time i stared at the floor, fingers playing with one another. i’m self conscious of his eyes on me, no emotion on his face as he dissects my words in his brain. as each silent second goes by, i panic even more. i immediately start cursing myself out mentally, why did i say that shit? i open my mouth to apologize but he cut me off.

“what a lucky man..” his eyes dug into mine.

“d-do you not know who i’m talking about?”

i’m well aware i never mentioned him directly but i thought he’d somehow get it.

“no? should i know?” he furrows his eyebrows.

i mutter a soft ‘fuck’ and i put my face into my hands.

“but what i know is that i’m a very lucky man.”

“you suck.” i roll my eyes at his stupidity.

“is that how you really feel about me? please be honest.”

“everything i said was as honest as i can be, johnny. i’ve been feeling like this for a while but i didn’t want to ruin our friendship. i love you so much and i don’t want to lose you.” i lift my head up to look at him.

more silence filled the room as i wait for his answer. before i could even react, he practically lunges towards me. his big hands grabbing my face to hold it as his lips met mine. my eyes widen in complete shock, is he really kissing me?

it took me a bit to realize what was happening for me start kissing back. my eyes slowly close as made out. my hands slowly snaked their way to his head, one pressing against the back of his neck and the other on his cheek. he slowly started to guide me to lay down, holding himself up with his arm. i imagined how it would feel to kiss john but i never knew it’d feel so blissful. my entire body buzzed with adrenaline, heart rate probably being a crazy number. his lips were so soft and plump, moving perfectly with mine. i go to run my fingers through his brown hair, tugging at it slightly.

“fuck.” he muttered against my lips.

before anymore kissing could happen, he pulled away. his lips even more plump and red from kissing, quick pants escaping from them.

“do you want to do this? i-i didn’t want to force you to do this, i’m sorry.” a worried look prominent on his face.

“of course i do. i want this. i want you.”

he quietly groaned out at my words, not wasting any time to kiss me again. i go to touch his torso, my fingers dance against his hot skin. feeling him like this, so intimately, just provoked that feeling in my stomach even more. my brain couldn’t form any words for me to say so i just whine into our kiss.

“you trying to ask for something? use your words.” he breathes out.

“please…now..” i hate how i’m already wrapped around his finger but let’s be honest, i’ve always been.

“you want me now? can’t wait even a few minutes. so needy..” he trails his kisses down my neck.

he stays there, marking me to show every guy that i’m taken. i think? i was too caught up in my thoughts that i didn’t notice he began taking off my shirt. the fabric trailing over my face snapped me back into reality. my odd choice of a raunchy bra for today paid off, his eyes focused mainly on my chest. the feeling of his hands groping my boobs caused my heart to beat faster, which i don’t think is even possible at the rate it’s at.

he messaged my boobs as he went back to biting, sucking and kissing my neck. i moaned out, back arching which made me feel his boner poking my thigh. i subconsciously began rubbing against his overall jeans, attempting to pleasure him. he lets out a throaty moan, his grip on my boobs hardening. he pulled away from my chest and stood up. i watched as he unclipped his overalls, letting them fall to his ankles to reveal his white boxers. a very visible white spot was the first thing i noticed on the boxers.

“are you able to take off your clothes? or is the adrenaline stopping you?” it was like he knew exactly how i was feeling.

i shook my head before reaching back to unclip my bra. i sat up and let it fall to my lap, grabbing it to throw it on top my previously discarded shirt. john’s hand tried to sneakily grope himself through his boxers at the sight of my bare chest but i notice quickly. i bit my lip knowing that he’s hard because of me. i go to unbutton my jeans, shimmying them down my legs.

“god, like i said, i’m such a lucky man.” he eyes me.

at the same time, we both pulled the last pieces of clothing off and threw them on the floor. john climbed back on top of me, his lips back on mine. completely naked, bare skin touching as we made out was definitely not how i imagined this night to end. my fingers ended up in his hair again, tugging harder than before. he very obviously loved when i did since he’d moan every time.

“you ready?” he rested his forehead on mine.

“have been.”

he grabbed his dick, aligning it perfectly with me. one last kiss to my lips is what he did before slowly sliding inside me. a long, low moan escapes his mouth as he felt me. i moan out at the stretching he was doing, my nails digging into his shoulders.

“faster, please john..” i beg.

he needed no more words from me as he started to thrust. at first he carefully thrusted, watching me to see if i’d get hurt but after noticing that i’m fine he went faster. the couch creaked and moved with every thrust, probably scratching the floor.

i gripped his body, hands roaming all over place not knowing where to stay. at one point i pushed his head back to me and connected our lips. our tongues fought for dominance, exploring one another’s mouth. one of his arms held him up as he thrusted harder, the other playing with my boob. everything felt so right, like this was meant to be. i wished i confessed to him earlier, imagining how it would’ve felt to be so close to him like this sooner.

we’re both well aware how loud we’re being, not a single care in the world crossed our minds. john wanted everyone to hear us, to know that no one else is making me feel as good as he his. for everyone to know that he’s so hooked to me and only me. little to my knowledge, john’s always loved me. also not wanting to ruin our relationship, he kept quiet about his feelings and desires. but today he got quite lucky at my sudden confession. he grabbed onto the cushion tightly as the feeling in his abdomen began tightening.

“fuck i’m close, baby.” he moaned.

i whine out at the pet name. he abandoned my boob and moved his hand down to my clit, rubbing it to fasten my orgasm. i gasp out in pleasure, damn near pornographic moans spewing out my mouth.

his “trick” worked as i felt the coil in my stomach tighten. i only hum out to signal him that i was close. he understood and went harder and deeper. i tighten around him, which caused him to cum quickly. he spat out ‘fuck’s as he came, hips stuttering as he tried to keep going to get me to cum. his eyes squeezed shut at his sore dick still thrusting inside me, pushing his cum deeper inside. that definitely was not intentional. seeing john in such a state made me reach my peak, moaning out his name over and over as i came all over his cock. the feeling of me cumming all over him caused him to cum once more. he slowed down his thrusts before coming to a stop, collapsing onto my chest from exhaustion.

i lay there to catch my breath, his hot breath fanning over my collarbone. i reach to kiss the top of his head, even going to stroke his hair.

“you did so good.” i whisper in his ear, kissing it afterwards.

“i love you.” he hugged me tightly.

“i love you too, johnny.” a huge smile forming on my face.

“can we go home? i’m tired.” he mumbled.

“alright, get up and i’ll help you get dressed.”

he sluggishly pulled himself out of me and sit up on the couch.

“you should be doing this.” i joke at the fact that i’m taking care of him after.

he starts to get up but i was quick to push him back down.

“i’m kidding.”

i wobbly stand up and grab the hand towel he used earlier. the ticklish feeling of his cum slowly dripping out of me made me grimace, and also reminded me to get a plan b. i clean myself off first then moved over to him. he hissed at the contact but got over it quick. i put my undergarments on before i grabbed his boxers, lifting them up his legs.

“you need to work with me here, john. sit up please.”

he lifted his hips up and sat back down once the boxers were on. i pull him up and off the couch so i could put the overalls back on, even going far to clip them back on.

“can i help you? it’s the least i could do.” he grabbed my shirt.

“go ahead.”

after helping me with my clothes, we both made ourselves look decent.

“so, what are we?” i heard him ask.

“best friends?” i nervously say.

i wasn’t too sure on how he felt about me, even though we just fucked. and he also said he loves me but i need more confirmation.

“what about lovers? i like that better.”

“are you asking what i think you’re asking?”

“yes ma’am. y/n, would you wanna be my girlfriend? i love you more than anything in the world and i’d be the happiest man on earth.”

“even more than guitars?”

“what?”

“you love me more than guitars?” i smirk, wrapping my arms around his waist.

“hmm, you should know better than to ask that.” he jokes.

“oh fuck you.” i laugh and push him away.

“i’m kidding, obviously more than guitars.”

“i believe you. but let’s get going cause now i’m getting tired.” he laughs at my words.

he grabs his guitar case and other belongings before walking up to the door. i held it open for him, following behind him. he snaked his arm around my waist as we walk back to my car.

long time melanie fan (since about 2015?) and i've seen these accusations come and go again and again. i wouldn't say i'm a hardcore crybaby (i don't have any merch or anything) but i like her music and i like her aesthetic.

i'm a victim of sexual harassment, and it ruined my life for a period of time because no one believed me. when i reread timothy's accusations, i get a deep pit in my stomach, bc a lot of what timothy talks about in her original accusation sounds very similar to what i went through. it tugs at my empathy, as any accusations of such should.

however, i do try to look at things objectively. i don't like accusing people without proof, and a lot of the allegations seem like she-said/she-said. i've seen the evidence of timothy's recollections of the dates being, and it's compelling from a logical standpoint, but a victim's mind is rarely accurate.

what's more confusing for me is how timothy can't seem to remember melanie's appearance from the night the incident supposedly happened (since she changes her hair so often, it should stick out in her mind what melanie looked like, no? i still have anxiety attacks when i see guys who even vaguely look like my harasser.)

but that's about the only evidence that compels me. everything else feels like hearsay, or victim-blaming. it doesn't matter what timothy or melanie's friends have said, and it doesn't matter whether timothy is a supposed "horrible person" or not. if sexual assault happened, no matter what kind of person mel or tim are, tim is still a victim, if an imperfect one.

however, i still find myself tilting over to melanie's side, and maybe it's just the halo effect, maybe it's just because i find her so similar to myself. maybe there is a "special place in hell" for me and other melanie supporters, i guess i won't know until i die.

in my opinion, wires must have crossed on communication between whatever happened between mel and tim, and it's something that should have been handled privately, not publicly. i don't think any new evidence will ever come out about what really happened between the two of them, i don't think it will ever be publicly solved, even if melanie chooses to speak up again (personally i think she's said her piece, and nothing else they can say could make the situation any better.) i don't think timothy deserves harassment and i don't think melanie deserves harassment. i hope both of them find peace in whatever they do.

(sorry if this comes across at rambly or if there's any grammatical errors, it's nearly 2am where i am and i am very sleepy. thanks for reading and for posting, if you decide to.)

Spring Support Bunny - Legend x reader platonic, part 5

:)))))))))))

“It’s really hot, come inside my purse. I don’t want you to collapse or anything.” He agreed, slipping inside, head poking out the edge. The walk is quiet, air warm against my cheek, fanning out my hands. Legend pops out, wiping his paw across his forehead.

“This heat is gross, how do you live like this?” I wasn’t sure if it was something you just got used to, around here. That would be most of our responses but each summer that comes around feels unbearable, and bushfires would get totally out of control too, just another impending doom of climate change that was slowly melting the ice caps and killing the plants here. Anyway, that's a thought for another day.

“Well what else can we do? It’s not like we can stay locked in doors all season.”

“Fair point, reminds me of when I had to traverse the Goron mines, it was horrible. Never again. I have a friend who said his worst experience was with the zoras, but at least the water made it cooler." It makes me smile, unable to imagine something so far from my own reality.

“Well I guess this wouldn’t be too bad compared to a fire mine.”

“Yea, I guess. But three months of this? I miss Hyrule weather.” We near towards the café, and I pull up my phone scrolling the menu. Better to order know beforehand then when I’m inside and show him the images.

“That beef burger looks mighty fine, can I get that?” It’s almost half his size, but I’m not here to judge on food preferences so nod, adding it to my notes.

“Oh and a large iced mocha!”

“Sure-“

“A slice of chocolate cake too, and double size fries-“

“Hold on! I don’t have that kind of money! I’m still on my parents’ allowances!” Legend twitches his mouth, irritated.

“Well maybe you should try sticking to berries and carrots! I’m hungry here and I’m a growing guy!” I put my phone away, more annoyed with his demands and the heat.

“I gave you half my dinner yesterday! That was a full steak and potatoes, plus bread!” In my defence, I hadn’t even known he had been turned into a bunny before his simple diet, but I’d tried to accommodate as soon as I'd been made aware.

“Oh well thank you so much for your charity.” He says with a snide look. My mouth drops, disbelief once again.

“You are so ungrateful, you know that! You absolute glutton. Fine then, don’t blame me when you get another tummy ache from all the food this time. Or if you can’t fit through the portal.” I say, turning my heel towards the café, feeling a headache grow.

“Glutton! You’re the one that was sneaking snacks at 2am last night. I saw you!”

“Yea, and key point the food was already there. I can’t buy you so much at a café. Don’t you know how high the prices are?” His face falls, mumbling a cuss word and then backs into my purse, shuffling around.

Once I’m all done, I carry everything outside, struggling to balance everything with both my arms, feeling my face heat from all the glances pointed towards me. I feign a smile, nothing unusual about a teenage girl with an oversized tote bag and a huge tray of food and drinks for two while finding a space in the park. I look over my shoulders, quickly placing everything down and place my bag down with enough force to jolt him with surprise.

“Ow! Care to handle me a little easier would you?!” He says, trudging out of the bag. I reach for the burger, tossing it towards him.

“My apologies honey bun, I thought warriors were used to being tackled and tossed around. Maybe his majesty is getting a little too used to the princess treatment.” I feel his glare settle on me, reaching for the burger and unwrap it, almost as big as his head munching through the food.

(Why I Think) Five Pebbles Is Not A Child

hello, all. it is 2am and i have An Opinion. you know what that means! essay

...okay, i might have lied; this will likely not be a proper essay because (upon looking through his dialogue on the wiki) this is very fucking hard to collect evidence for. not because it is unsupported in the text, but rather because it is attempting to refute a position that, in itself, i have seen little of others' specific reasoning for. It is a response, so to speak, to an argument that does not exist.

still, I will try, even though it's difficult, because this specific interpretation irks me and one thing about me is that when someone gets my blorbos slightly wrong I will attempt to write an essay about it regardless of whether i need to, want to, or should.

of course, mandatory disclaimer that you shouldn't, necessarily, trust me on this. I'm just some creature on the internet, what do I know? I'm not necessarily right about any of this, and you shouldn't feel pressured to change your personal interpretation because i, hollow gunpowder-arti, made a late-night post about it.

THAT BEING SAID,

I, personally, believe that Five Pebbles is not a child. I, personally, am somewhat uncomfortable with depictions of him as such.

the only proper 'evidence' I have heard for this stance is that he 'acts immaturely' (i believe generally referring to his behavior before and during spearmaster's campaign? i.e. the moon incident)--which I will concede, he does. but there is a difference between acting immature and being a child.

I will point out, also, that many times these narratives push either Moon, the Artificer, or both into a maternal role towards him--you all know my grievances with Fanon Motherly Arti, but even beyond that, it feels very.... iffy, to me.

I find that many times this idea attempts (either overtly or likely unintentionally) to absolve him of blame for his actions. which... five pebbles is not an unsympathetic or villainous character by any means. I mean that wholly and fully, in fact, I do relate to him in several ways (or... did, moreso when the hyperfixation was in full swing :P).

the situation is very complex, and Five Pebbles is not a bad person. That being said, he made terrible mistakes with terrible consequences. he acted rashly, impulsively, and, yes, at times cruelly. interpreting him as a child (and therefore not to be blamed for acting childishly), however, takes away a lot of this complexity--i would say almost as much, if not as much as interpreting him wholly villainously. because he was partially to blame. congratulations, you have made a perfectly good complex character and made him into a sweet innocent mockery of himself, who cannot be held accountable for his errors because he was a child and it was in his nature and he could not help it.

...if you cannot tell, this interpretation is very, very frustrating to me.

I... would like to go on, but I feel like I would just end up restating what I've already said. So. That's it, I guess.

One last reminder (which i do not think will be necessary, but you never know) to please not harass people on my behalf of course. This is not to say those who follow this interpretation are Problematic, simply to explain my reasoning for disagreeing with and even disliking it.

...how do I end this post. Bye, I guess?

[autistichalsin]

so I stayed up till past 2am watching the Pitt and I blame you 💛 I completely lost track of time 😳 and just saw robby crying and listing all the people he failed to save and holy fuck that murdered me 😭😭😭 (I guess I understand jack is a kid and all, but I wish he picked up on it and did something to help.... like even just pat on the arm. poor guys)

I knowww give the poor man a hug!

Isn't it the most insanely addicting show??

BACKGROUNDER - the one that got away!kuroo

note: hello!! if you're seeing this post, you probably clicked through from this fic, and if not... well that's ur own journey <3 this is a collection of posts from my #the one that got away!kuroo universe, which offer context to the main story but aren't strictly necessary—like... further readings, i guess. i contemplated how best to direct people here, and in order for you to most easily access this info, i settled for this post!! under the cut are all of the asks/text posts that ultimately culminated in the full fic, arranged in chronological order for your viewing convenience:

original text post: not to kill the vibe but kuroo tetsuro does give me big 'guy who isn't ready for marriage but then gets married to the first girlfriend he has after the two of you break up' energy for reasons i cannot quite put my finger on

> n to rub salt into the wound, you thought for sure you and kuroo would marry

you didn't think the breakup would stick. you always thought—or hoped, maybe—that the two of you would find your way back to each other when the time was right. but not even two years later (which feels so SOON, even though it isn't really) you see that he's engaged to a girl—a perfectly nice, normal girl, that you can't even bring yourself to hate because you know all too well what it's like to be in love with tetsuro. know what it's like to want a future with him. and you can't blame her for it, even if you resent her for being the one who gets it.

> after the wedding who do you go with? are you drunk out of your mind

you aren't invited. that stings. but you think it might have been worse if you did end up getting one of those beautiful, unnecessarily elaborate invitations in the mail. 

you run into kuroo a few months before the ceremony at a mutual friend's birthday party. end up talking. the wedding comes up accidentally more than anything—maybe someone else mentions it, maybe you ask, maybe he tells you like he's repenting for a sin he didn't commit—and he stumbles through an unbearably awkward explanation (that he doesn't even owe you) as to why you weren't invited. but you know even if he says it in nicer, easier to swallow words, gilded with white lies: it would be weird. it would be wrong. it wouldn't be fair to anyone. not to him, or to you, or to her.

you get drunk the night of the wedding and hook up with the guy you've been fucking for the past few months, who you're pretty sure doesn't even know what you do for work even though you've told him multiple times. all your friends are dressed up and celebrating, and you're throwing up in the hotel bathroom by 2am while the guy sleeps in the bed a room away—completely, blissfully unaware of what's happening on the other side of the wall, let alone at a glittering venue across town.

you envy him for it.

> does kuroo still love reader? does he love her?

he does still love reader AND love his fiance too. maybe in different ways. maybe his love for reader is like guilt. maybe his love for his soon-to-be wife is more like atonement. i don't think it took kuroo very long to realize what he did to you was, well, sort of cruel. i think he regrets it deeply and thinks about it often. in a fucked up sort of way it makes him better to his new partner, because he doesn't want to hurt someone like that again because of his own immaturity. it's unfortunate, but it's like she gets to reap all the benefits of the growth he experiences at your expense.

> Will it ever get better for you after kuroos wedding

of course it will. that's the really weird thing about heartbreak: life just keeps going. you feel like your heart has been cleaved out of your chest, but then you just... go to work. you do your laundry. you read a new book that becomes an all time favourite. you spend time with your friends and family. you go on dates. you learn all the lyrics to new songs. you celebrate holidays and birthdays. and one day you realize it's been years and you're in a totally different part of your life now, and the boy you thought would one day be holding your hand on your deathbed doesn't even know what the inside of your new apartment looks like. and you don't know what his looks like, either. and it's still sad, and hard sometimes, but all you can do is keep going. keep trying to find new happiness even if it's not the one you wanted. and hope that somewhere out there he has a new favourite book too. 

> think of Kai who was secretly pining for you during your relationship with Kuroo. Yet, he still doesn't have it in him to confess his feelings. So, he does the next best thing: he becomes your booty call. But when you slip during one of your hook-ups--when you moan Kuroo's name--he realizes it would never work out between the two of you. Your heart is so full of Kuroo that there's no room for him.

kuroo is so beloved by the people around him that i don't think there's a friend in his life who would EVER betray him like that—even if they did have feelings for you. even more than that, a lot of the friends that he introduced you to during your relationship (who you got close to) seem to grow distant after the breakup. even though it was his fault, really. even though you were their friend too. they just seem to naturally gravitate back to him, like belongings that are divvied up after a divorce. and there's no hard feelings. they don't dislike you, or even do it consciously, it just... happens.

you do definitely call out tetsuro's name when you're hooking up with other people though. it never ends well.

> sorry if u’ve already answered this but how long did kuroo and reader date?

they met in high school, and always had little crushes on each other but it never went anywhere. kuroo FINALLY confessed at graduation (he tried to be rly smooth like the shoujo protag he isn't and almost botched it) and they started dating at 18. they dated for a little over 5 years. broke up at 23. kuroo stayed single for a while before he started dating his (eventual) wife, and they got married at around 26. reader moved away from Tokyo when she was 28-29. and reader and kuroo are both in their mid-to-late 30s when the fic opens!!

The sillies have consumed me.

Give me your BlaireCrash + FlameBomb Hcs, and DONT hold back.

I haven't even posted abt FlameBomb yet, I guess your Hcs will be the first.

Take a spinning Ramsey as Payment :3333

“don’t hold back” “alr” writes a whole fucking essay worth at 2am

tw: SA, Abuse, Eating Disorders

Blairecrash + Flamebomb HCs

Blairecrash (Blaire x Fred)

The two met through tutoring. Blaire was failing history. Fred wanted to make some extra money.

Eventually some of the side talk turned into actual conversation, befriending each other.

Fred caught feelings first. Blaire was completely oblivious to this.

The two actually got together through a drunken confession. Fred picked up Blaire after she went to a bad party and was too intoxicated to drive.

He even carried her to the front door. Until she confessed. Then Fred dropped her in the grass out of shock.

Fred will make fun of his girlfriend for being “short” even though it’s only by a couple inches.

In reverse, Blaire will make fun of Fred for being less athletic than her.

Fred is teaching Blaire how to draw.

Blaire spoils Fred. A lot. Many of their dates are just shopping sprees.

Fred sucks at dancing. During homecoming, he was completely embarrassing. Blaire would roll her eyes and keep going anyway.

Would 100% fit that “He asked for no pickles!” meme.

Blaire has an entire crying fit whenever the dog dies in movies. No matter how many times Fred has to explain it’s just fiction, she’ll cry even harder.

Blaire’s favorite thing ever is My Little Pony. Any and all generations (Except the 5th one, ew). She keeps this a complete secret. No one knows except for Fred (who probably found out by opening one of her closets and seeing 300 toys)

She feels welcome to talk about My Little Pony, and even wake up early to watch reruns or play with some of the toys.

Fred doesn’t judge her for it. Finds it a bit weird, but loves her enough to go along with it.

Angst

Tanner McCroy is an abusive ex boyfriend of Blaire’s.

She was sextorted by him for a year or so. Blaire essentially did anything he wanted.

After Tanner got “bored” of her, they broke up and she was finally able to find someone else.

When Fred realized what happened, it made him angry. A type of angry that he’d never felt up until that day.

So angry that he got into his first school fight for it, punching Tanner square in the jaw.

The effects of Tanner never fully went away. Blaire developed PTSD from the events.

Fred wanted to do something, but beating up Tanner over and over again wasn’t going to fix the bottom line.

The only thing he could really do was be there to support her. No matter what.

Flamebomb (Flamethrower x Valeri)

less bc i don’t know val like that and i don’t want to get it wrong 😭

Val is a night owl and Flame is an early bird (Due to his practices being so early in the morning). This causes the following to happen:

On Friday nights, Flame will tend to fall asleep doing anything extraneous/ comfy past 1am. This tends to happen during cuddling. Val finds that adorable.

Speaking of cuddling, sometimes Flame plain sleeps on top of his girlfriend. On accident. Not in a cute cuddly way, but taking up half the bed type of way. Val refuses to move, making productive things more difficult. For example her trying to type on her phone would produce gibberish.

They go on mini crime sprees as dates sometimes. The occasional fire starts.

Like Blairecrash, they sometimes also wake up early to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons and rather cereal in bed, albeit different ones.

Angst

Tanner was also an ex of Val. The situation didn’t get as far as Blaire’s, but Val was SA’d.

Flame feels similar about Tanner as Fred does.

When Flamethrower witnessed Valeri’s bulimia first hand, his heart dropped into his stomach.

He tried to stay calm when confronting her about it, staying completely passive and not blaming her for anything. After a couple minutes of her being out of view he completely shut down.

Flame wished she didn’t have to suffer like that. That he could just snap his fingers and make her healthy again. That she’d just be okay. But things didn’t work like that. Things were much more complicated.

Bonus - Double Date HCs

These mostly get planned by Fred and Flame since they’re closer.

Despite being somewhat the opposite of each other, Blaire and Val get along very well.

Their first double date was to a laser tag game.

Everyone got really competitive.

For extra competition, Fred and Flame were on one team, and Blaire and Val were on another.

Fred is actually really good at laser tag, causing Blaire to get targeted and shot multiple times. Because of that, Blaire “swore revenge” on him.

That essentially just means stealing the food off his plate later on.

^ Val actual ended up doing this to Flame. He got flustered and this was all he could think about for the rest of the day.

After, they went to go pick up something to eat.

It took a million years for them to figure something out since no one was craving anything but was also picky of where they wanted to eat.

They ended up choosing a fast food joint. (Taiga Country’s In & Out equivalent)

Blaire ate half of Fred’s fries.

Unrelated to this, I’d like to think they went on another date where Val blew something up. She would go:

“Whoopsies! Well, anyways….”

And then Blaire would stare at the fire like this

- EMU HASN'T SMILED FOR MONTHS OH GOD . IM TAKING HIM AWAY. WIFE WAIT FOR ME . JAPAN NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE

- also emu's actor does amazing bitch faces i love him so much

- girl i said i wanted a villain arc but not like this...not like this.....

- he's SERIOUS????? GET OUTTA HERE OMFGGGGG

- deleting hiiro from top 3 i really should've just drawn taiga instead. this is what i get for trying to take it slow

- ...ugh whatever i still like you hiiro

- it's not even an angsty delicious betrayal i'm just here thinking "what the fuck are you doing"

- IJBOL WHY IS HE HERE

- SORRY I DONT THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO LAUGH BUT IT'S KILLING ME. PARAD. DUDE. PARAD. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HEREEEEEEE

- guy pausing his existential crisis because babe is fighting with the girlies and he wants to support him

- i'm dead on the floor YOU WERE JUST CRUMPLING UP IN FEAR EARLIER??? ex-aid's humor remains at peak. bro really thinks he's part of the team

- i like that. they're just vibing. why is he all peppy all of a sudden. man who knows

- hiiemu break up arc. please end my suffering

- somehow i don't think he is. hiiro's the smartest out of all of them idt he'd be this shallow. it's just too obvious that it feels off

- nvm maybe this is genuine

- i can't fucking guess lmao

- i'm inclined to believe that hiiro's purpose is something else because that's what would have most narrative impact. if his betrayal is discovered by the ministry, he would be "stripped of his kr qualifications, and removed from the cr. they might even revoke [his] medical license" and the option that would align most with how hiiro's definition of a doctor shifted into one that cares for his patients regardless of circumstances (which he got from emu), it would only be apt for his characterization if it's revealed that he's planning a more definitive way to end kronos. it would be really good

- i'm choosing to believe he's faking it. so now i'm just muttering "aww hiiro" as he says shit he doesn't mean towards his friends

- actually ignore what i just said. i'm not trusting men anymore

- i can't even hate him because he looks so vulnerable. i guess i understand why he did things this way

- he started fucking crying I'M SORRY FOR NOT BELIEVING YOU BABY IT'S OKAY YOU CAN BETRAY US ALL YOU WANT IT'S FINE😭😭

- BABY

- i'm rethinking about it and i can't believe i called myself his fan while completely ignoring all his deeply seated guilt and self-blame. i... oh hiiro...

- i understand now. i really misunderstood you a bunch of times before

- i was just thinking "oh i kinda get paragraph now" because of that convo between them but why did parad shake his head a little after graphite just stabbed the virus in himself it's so funny. HE'S DOING IT FOR YOU?!?!

- *scratches head* boy that's your friend you can maybe stop smiling for 5 seconds as he burns in agony

- "i hold memories of his girlfriend" he mentioned this thrice now he must be so proud

- oh my god

- it's like 2am and parad is staring like that at emu i can't handle this rn

- dan kuroto's story really is inspirational because no matter how much you hated his ass he proves that you can make a comeback if you hold your head high and never gave any fucks in the first place

- why are you, as a man, hoping that another man would hate you forever in atonement for having killed his girlfriend

- he's so good at crying on the spot bro

- i believe hiiro's betrayal is genuine now but i'm also vibing with it because i love his emotions being pushed to the extreme

- KIRIYA?? THAT'S KIRIYA RIGHT?????? WE ARE SO BACK

- ENOUGHHHHHHH BRING BACK THE HAPPY DAYS I'M SICK OF THEM FIGHTINGGGGG

- i wasn't able to note it down but i did spy that emu started adopting hiiro's catchphrase a while back. i should've screenshotted. fuck. hiiro saying "i want to see saki smile" and emu saying "i'll excise you" OUGH

- if only parad didn't exist i would have called them soulmates

- k...kiriya?

- i don't even blame emu. if my teammates ditched me at the critical moment i'd go over the bugster's side too

- i feel like emu (too jaded for ex-aid)

- mootie how is this your favorite arc.....

- hiiro AND kiriya on masamune's side?? bro do you want emu to khs damn!!

- GUYS DON'T LOOK AT THE MIDDLE THERE'S AN UGLY BITCH STANDING NEXT TO YALL!!!!!

Fourth Wing / Iron Flame SPOILERS ahead

I just read these 2 books within like 5 days so let us talk about some theories shall we?

Be ready for a long rant about multiple theories

So first of, I saw some people hating on book 2 for not following the hype of Fourth Wings???? I admit it took me 4 days to get through Iron Flame and like not even a day for Fourth Wings BUT I think thats because IF is more lore heavy. IF is just as good as the first one imo!

Now to some theories

The mystery of Violet Sorrengail's second signet.

So I was like 1/3 of the way through the book when I got some spoilers about Xaden having a second signet without diving further in what it is and then people being like "Hey I wonder what Violet's would be". So I started reading with some more purpose

I have 2 theories so far and no, I don't think Violet is a Distance Wielder. Yes that signet hasnt been seen in decades or even centuries and Adarna waited almost 700 years to hatch WHICH WOULD ADD UP! But I feel like it's a little too much on the nose.

At first I thought Violet might be able to dreamwalk. would it be useful in combat? No. But seeing as Violet thrives on knowing the facts and what is around her and it probably manifesting while Adarna was in the Dreamless Sleep (bit contradicting).. It would explain Violet being able to talk to Sage and actual being able to gather information from it. But we also do not know enough about Venin to know if this power comes from them.

My other guess on her signet, as more people are talking about, is her speaking to the dead. Now hear me out, yes I know it is a common thing in books and stuff that on the brink of madness and dehydration and yada yada.... people can hallucinate. Is it a possibility that this is also still the case? Sure, but why does Liam tell her things she doesn't know? Or contradict her? Speaking to the dead could also apply that she is Spiritualy gifted thanks to her mother being sick during pregnacy. MAYBE Lilith praying to Malek asking him to not take her child came with the cost of making her 'fragile' . And as we learned and keep hearing:

"At its core, magic demands balance"

Also interesting how she can talk to Liam.. maybe because not ALL his stuff was burned??? I think they must burn it to cut off the connection between the mortal world and the plane they go to after death. Is this a Riders custom? Possibly but maybe Malek is more hoovering over the people bonded by dragons.

Now that that ramble is done.. could all of these be far fatched, oh definitely but it's a fantasy world so we are allowed to be

MOVING ON THEORY 2 !!!

Which is just me debunking the orange dragon theory. Why does everyone automatically assume Sgeayl doesnt trust Brennan because of his dragon?? Sure we know the orange dragons are unpredictable and their choice of rider mirrors that.. like look at both Jack and Varrish FUCKING UNHINGED if you ask me.

But why is no one going like "oh, it's because Brennan is the reason Tairn his last rider died" ?? Do we know if this almost killed Tairn, which FYI is Sgeayl's mate?? So she could still blame him for almost taking him from her. I'm not sure if we know if he almost died (its 2am and I needed this out my head to be able to sleep) after his riders death. But we do know that after the events took place Tairn was only ever spotted and distanced himself as far as we know, until he joined Adarna because even as a feathertail they couldnt keep her in check.

I also think Cam AKA Aaric will be WAY more important to the story like.. how will a third prince with pent up anger towards his father and the way he rules the kingdom not be able to siphon a powerfull signet

Well please enlighten me with you guys' thoughts because I'm obsessed and can't stop crying about Liam so distract me.

[skylertheminish]

Heyo warning for really crappy writing or whatever. This crappy bio story thing will be put under "keep reading" due to any potential triggers and such.

I'm aware of the crappy edits on the pictures. As of right now I'm too tired to fix them. Its nearly 2am for me as of typing this awful story thing.

9th of January. That's a day I'll not forget anytime soon, if at all. That was the day we got word of a breeding mill and in my home county no less! This one was particularly sickening. Evolving newly hatch Pokemon, bet they'd do so before the young even drew their first breath if that was possible. Being forced to evolve so soon usually doomed the newly born. All that stress of metamorphosis being put on such tiny bodies. I can't comprehend how some people could be so willingly cruel.

We rescued all that we could. Keeping them in carts built for infant pokemon. There was the usual high demand Pokemon. Dratini, Riolu, Ralts, the usual suspects for a shiny mill. But one caught my eye.

Ceruledge.

I have never seen such a Pokemon before with my own eyes! let alone one so small. Poor thing looked so cold, so weak... and frightened, Not that I blame her. She couldn't have been more than a day or so old and yet not only was she forced to evolve but had be surrounded by strangers. I took one of the unoccupied carts from the van, set it up and took her in my care. Of all the team members deployed that night I was the one better suited for exotic Pokemon to the Galar region. I didn't have high hopes for her surviving the night.

But boy did she make me eat humble pie!

Things got hairy for sure but she survived the first 3 crucial days since hatching and living under my care. And boy am I glad to eat that humble pie! As small as she is she certainly as.... I guess stubborn? Perhaps determined is a more apt thing? Yeah I'll go with that! She's as determined as can be! A trait of her species I'm sure. But something tells me that's just how she is.

She's also adorable.

I couldn't help myself. I had to take photos, She's so cute!

fresh off of watching them back to back, i went ahead and read the manga for both call of the night and insomniacs after school, also back to back, over the weekend. insomniacs just got a new chapter a couple hours ago so i'm more comfortable talking about it now than i was at like 2am yesterday

call of the night is a lot meatier than i was expecting given the anime's vibes-based economy, but i guess that's to be expected given that it's been running for nearly four years now and has been slowly building its world from the jump. i came to really like the characters outside of just the deuteragonists more than i was expecting to just from the anime; a lot of them get good time to shine, and even as new characters are introduced it's neat to see them slowly join the gang.

and while it's absolutely a coming of age story and in some parts a metaphor for puberty a la FLCL, i still have some real issues with how it handles its 14 year old characters and how these decades- if not centuries-old vampires are so blase with them. i have much bigger issues with how leery it gets with akira. i know that this is the pill you often have to swallow with anime and manga but jesus christ, nothing is improved by having people comment on a 14 year old girl's chest. kou and mahiru's situationships can be kind of fundamentally uncomfortable to witness, so i really can't blame anyone for writing this off because of it.

the hokkaido arc was great though. at some points kiku reminded me of makima to a very distressing degree, and i have to imagine that was intentional (there were denji and makima cosplayers in that one halloween spread, so). and to my previous point, i was... very nervous about where that was headed. a sad end to that one, but worthwhile.

also there's a character who is very tall and instantly falls in love with any guy who pays attention to her, and her name is rila echigo. echigo rila. ecchi gorilla. terrific.

as for insomniacs, not much more i need to say past what i've said about the anime! it's lovely and it stays lovely past what the anime adapted. there's at least another season's worth of material still out there, or there will be in another few months, but i feel like the anime kinda ended with no intention of continuing. and like i said after i finished the anime, i'd be okay with that.

that's not to say it doesn't stay good after volume 6! ganta and isaki go public with their relationship and it goes back to being a lovely high school slice of life again, with less focus on the insomnia itself and more on the root causes of their respective anxieties. and in isaki's case, you can guess where it goes. it flirts with going full fault in our stars on several occasions, which is partly why i wanted to see how today's chapter goes before saying anything, but i'm pleased to report that there is no tragedy porn here.

i have hangups with call of the night that kind of prevent me from recommending it broadly, so maybe ease yourself in through the anime and just take in the aesthetic if you're curious. insomniacs after school, though, get the fuck on that.
