Thinking about how aggressive the residents of Lottacoins got when Ecks showed back up during the Wedding questline

We see the Corps doing volunteer work in Slippenglide after their defeat without problem, sure, but that's when nearly every single resident of the village is preoccupied with Reclusa's flowers. Once that's all over and everything starts to go back to normal, are the Corps really going to be able to just reintegrate themselves into the community without issue? Or are they going to be met with anger and indignation that they dare show their faces again after everything they put the residents of Concordia through?

Meanwhile, Cozette is welcomed back into Concordia with open arms, as a respected wattanist who only acted the way she did under Reclusa's complete control... But I don't think she would feel like she deserves such kindness at all.

*Throws a free rambling card in your face and runs for the hills*

(Preferably something Tiger Nutmeg related, but you don't have to)

Nutmeg Tiger headcanon, coming right up 😎

I made a post a while back talking about Nutmeg Tiger maybe enjoying gardening as a hobby; one she always kept secret out of fear and worry of appearing soft and weak. Well, what if we continued with this thought and let Nutmeg have not only a love for plants, but an actual green thumb?

I am a big sucker for characters having unlikely talents (I hc Dark Cacao as being a fantastic cook, for example). Skills and hobbies you really wouldn't ever expect them to have, but are cool and add a bit of extra depth to them as people. I'm also a sucker for "strong"/overly serious characters having a touch of softness in them somewhere, in some way, be it a positive relationship with another person (romantic, friendly, familial), a twinge of hidden warmth and optimism in their thoughts and view of the world, or - like I said - a beloved hobby. Just something that grounds them. Keeps their hearts from completely turning to stone.

I would like plants and gardening to be that for Nutmeg Tiger. An affinity she always had, even when she was little, but one she was never allowed (by anyone, including and especially herself) to explore or nourish in any way due to her warlike culture and upbringing, but nevertheless kept tucked away in her heart somewhere, thus never truly losing it. Something she is free to acknowledge at long, long last after Burning Spice's tyranny is brought to an end (in my personal canon, by force to a degree, and then him standing down willingly after having a change of heart) and she no longer has to "prove" herself and her strength to anyone anymore.

She would still try to deny and ignore it, of course. Old habits die hard. But with enough time and encouragement (perhaps in the form of Golden Cheese having her take charge of the palace gardens in the GCK, like I mentioned in that post 🤔), she lets that wall come down and herself enjoy something that actually makes her happy. The sort of happiness that battle and bloodshed never truly brought her (she likes those, but... this kind of joy just feels different). Something that actually grants her peace of mind.

And with that green thumb, not only does she care for plants, she makes them thrive better than anyone expected her to. She picks things up quickly. She notices right away when a plant is sick, or needs water, or needs a trim, or anything related to their needs. She develops an almost encyclopedic knowledge of plants of all sorts; first the ones in Golden Cheese's garden, then others even beyond that scope, either through reading about them in books or actually getting her hands on them in person (perhaps brought by Golden Cheese herself, or other people Nutmeg knows maybe Smoked Cheese can bring her something cough cough). It quickly becomes clear as a cloudless day that Golden Cheese picked the absolute right person for that job.

She doesn't really talk about it or bring it up at all unless prompted, nor does she really accept any thanks for caring for the garden. But it's obvious that it makes her happy, if you pay close enough attention to her expression as she tends to the lillies and cacti

So my brain now has another fanfic idea, this time due to me thinking about Galvatron

Basically it’d be sometime in the far future of Transformers One, where Megatron became Galvatron, and now presumably after defeating Unicron, Optimus is trying to help Galvatron after being left with severe mental issues like he is in g1

Optimus here is desperate to resurface any part of D-16 or even Megatron, just so long as he’s someone he recognizes instead of Galvatron, but it might just be an internal desire and not something he’s trying to do above all else, just wanting him to be better because of how much he used to mean to him

I’m not sure how to describe all of what I want in this premise, just Optimus trying to help Galvatron

But also, once more, I don’t think I could write this fic, but more because I don’t know how to write mental health struggles, nor do I know what specifically would be wrong with Galvatron. But I want to see someone make it, I need it

[angeat]

I don't know if it'd be up your alley but for the yugioh lesbians prompt, Ruri/Serena with optional 闇落ち/Academia Ruri because that shit makes the hamster in my brain go circles

thank you for this my brain completely and utterly ran away with it and went like full au mode so. cough

my interpretation of this is when ruri is kidnapped she is brainwashed into being an academia solider, forgetting her previous life though naturally she's not allowed out like serena so she gets very attached to her.

ruri doesn't mind it nearly as much, she has more faith in what leo says and lacks the level of pride in duelling that makes her want to show off so she simply finds most her enjoyment in being alone with serena.

serena has no idea how to really handle ruri's company or how to feel about it because she's never had someone with an unabashed genuine interest in her and being a friend to her rather than like... a bodyguard or something so she has a tendency to push ruri away, but ruri is perceptive enough to tell she sort of likes the attention, she feels hurt sometimes but it just motivates her to try to be closer and understand serena better.

ruri being as social as she is, when the others like sora and dennis are present she tags along with them as much as she's able so she gets like stories of what they did while deployed out and such.

given the way her morals are kind of absent since her brain is 100% academia propaganda with the brainwashing, evidently she absorbs a little of a sadistic streak from them so she's a bit Weird. being like innately a gentle polite sweetheart but also "omg I hoped you made him beg and grovel to be spared and watched all hope drain from his eyes as he realized you wouldn’t"

once plot happens and serena goes off on her own and defects, still at academia, ruri (after being in shambles from the news for a while) is like "I have to kill this motherfucker" and so escapes solo JUST to hunt serena down. turns into a toxic yandere yuri thing. because of course it does. I could go on.

[yuwuta]

the perfect 60k word yuuta canon verse au to me involves a very complicated love story following yuuta to kenya and meeting reader there and helping train him and being there when he steals all those cursed techniques and when he gets rika back except it’s strange now you and rika seem to have some kind of tie to each other but you don’t know what yet and you and yuuta are something between friends and lovers and you’re pissed when he leaves to go back to shibuya because he goes so suddenly and without a real goodbye and then has the audacity to call for your help after killing and reviving yuuji because he knows your technique could help, and when you do show up you’re still beyond angry with him, but you fight anyway and somewhere along the lines when when you’re about to get hit/hurt real bad yuuta cries for you but rika is the one who covers you and protects you and in that moment you realize you sort of have control over rika too or rather you both have some kind of tether to yuuta and it allows rika to feed into your cursed energy and allows you to wear rika as some kind of armor and it drives yuuta insane seeing both his girls together like that. or whatever

this is all to say these two poems from the lemonade film have lived in my head for the past six years and they call yuuta’s name every single time i hear any song from that album

That feeling when one of your oldest friends and crush is no longer himself anymore because he was tricked by the power hungry King.

[demonsfate]

okay i wanted to talk about how heartbreaking this scene is. when kazuya threatened to destroy the place, jin's FIRST reaction was to look at all the people fleeing - it shows how much jin truly cares about everyone. but i just realized what's even more fucking heartbreaking is that he specifically focuses on a mother and son. a mother and son whose lives are being threatened by a monster... this has to... this HAS to be intentional. the way jin jerks in disbelief and fear after this.. it makes this scene hurt even more. 😭

i'm really convinced jin was about to cry here. with how much brighter his eyes suddenly got, and the way his mouth starts trembling. i really think he was about to cry.

still caps to show how wide & bright his eyes got. but it really does look like a face of devastation. this is a man who desperately wants to be good. he aches to save lives, to help people in spite of his family lineage, in spite of his devil gene. but he can't. he fails every time. despite how hard he tries, how much pain he endures, jin is never good enough, he's never better. i think this really broke him here, i think this is a reminder to jin that he's a failure.

but jin doesn't cry. because he can't allow himself to. he always resorts to anger instead.

out of context, this was such a beautiful scene. it really establishes how much jin cares about people, how seeing people get hurt (or potentially) really affects him. i'd even call this a BRILLIANT SCENE. like the series can't convince me this was the man that started a war and lead to the death of thousands, if not millions, of people. this man is so PAINED to see even a few people get hurt - even one person. this is a man who'd do anything to protect these lives. tekken 6 wasn't what jin was, but this, this is jin kazama.

unfortunately, when they refused to retcon 6 or do more damage control than just having the character say "sorry" it just... it just makes little sense. even though this was an amazing scene, fans cannot react to it as well when it's ridiculous that a man who had dragged the world to hell, cares this much about a handful of people when he's supposedly responsible for the deaths of way more.

without thinking about the inconsistency and tek6, though. this is still so heartbreaking to me, and what jin should be.

After everything, I just want to give her a hug..

[mann-walter]

I want to start this off by saying that I’m a big fan of Optimus Prime and Transformers; Prime as a whole. I loved them then, I love them now. But there is something that tickles me until today about the two. Yes, this is where I’ll be discussing what I hate most about the series in general and Optimus in particular: his lack of action against Megatron.

For all of us that have watched Prime in its entirety or majority, it became clear rather quickly that Optimus was cast as this saintly model all creatures should be striving for and should admire. He was wise and refrained from frivolity, calm even in the toughest of times, brave, selfless, strong, gentle, and forgiving. On the surface, one might conclude that his only fault was mortality.

But what if I tell you that all of these qualities, in certain times, can turn into deadly vices?

Now, after you’ve accustomed yourself to the show, I think you’d notice another thing about Optimus: why hasn’t he tried to kill Megatron?

We know that most of his decisions were built upon ideals: that violent resolutions should be a last resort, that death is unconscionable, that every being deserves a second chance, and that everyone has the capability to change. But, apparently Optimus had never heard that there is a season for everything. There’s a time to kill and a time not to. With Megatron, it certainly was a time to kill. Not out of revenge, but in order to prevent more destruction, to protect those that can’t fight for themselves.

It is darkly funny actually that after eons of war, after Megatron had made a living hell for so many Cybertronians (the only group of people Optimus is legally obligated to protect), committed so many crimes, he’d be swinging so many times if he were a human, Optimus decided he had had enough and was now out for blood because Megatron unintentionally (although he was all jolly about it) hurt a human boy. It’s actually a very interesting aspect of his character, how he held on to his ideals so tightly that he’d sacrifice so many lives for it. Alas, it was never acknowledged as such by the writers. There actually were dissenting opinions in-universe, usually coming from Ratchet—and weren’t they very valid points—but at the end Optimus was always portrayed as the correct one, that his decisions were all good.

Speaking of Optimus and his ideals, I now really wish they had ventured into those darker implications of Optimus stubbornly, even fanatically, holding on to them. It could’ve been a really great nuance to his character: sometimes, a hero’s sins can have roots in his own goodness.

i am canceling all social media accounts except tumblr cause this site is least toxic place on internet.

i want to be person i was before phone became favorite past time.

let's see how long it will take before my determination melts like everything else

anyone else want to participate? idk, if you want, if you already went through this ordeal share how did it go and how long were you on detox and if you have any fellow advice.

especially fellow writers, tell me if you too feel time spent on internet is killing your creative braincells.

also do you write on phone or with pen in notebook? do you feel while using notes app saves lot of time, that it can also be very distracting cause, again, internet is too close?

[midnight-in-town]

what do you think of the theory that Vincent is a death god now?

Hey Anon! Well, I used to be pretty against it, but nowadays I think it all depends on what we currently know about Shinigamis, which is to say not much.

What I mean is that, in ch105, Yana revealed that Shinigamis are former humans who killed themselves...

...however, we do not know if that's the only way for a human to become a Shinigami.

Remember, Yana could hold onto some additional truth that we have yet to figure out, especially considering that since ch105, Sensei strongly hinted several times that the Shinigamis' higher ups are super sketchy. [x][x][x]

In other words, there is possibly a real gap between what Shinigamis themselves believe to be the truth whereas the actual truth is hidden by the higher-ups.

Additionally, that's just my opinion but, seeing as UT (and the possible other deserters he works with) is very anti higher-ups, I wonder if editing the records (to make dead people into BD) is not an idea he got from finding out some truths about Shinigamis, which led to his desertion. [x]

For example, maybe all Shinigamis had their records altered in order to become Shinigamis ? And if that's the case, then maybe some altered memories (read: lies) were put to their records, making them all believe that they're overworked slaves "because of suicide" when none of it is true? Just like the redemption reward is also probably a lie.

All that to say that I believe UT's BD project is a hint to a big and terrible truth that we have yet to fully grasp (take it as a rebellion towards the Shinigamis' higher-ups, on top of UT missing the dead Phantomhives) so, for now, I think it's important to be very careful about the "truth" we were told about the Shinigami Organization.

Back to Vincent: for now, I believe that he was definitely murdered.

Meaning that if suicide is really the only way for a man to become a Shinigami, then he did not become a Shinigami. However, if becoming a Shinigami is not just about suicide, but about several other factors, then it's not impossible that Vincent became a Shinigami after he died. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my opinion, Yana-sensei made sure not to rule out the possibility in canon, as in, she left a few hints that could be red herrings, just like they could be used to interpret that Vincent is not really "dead". Those hints are

1) ch107.5, because, even though he's supposedly dead, he wears gloves and a suit that could resemble that of a Shinigami's.

Additionally, even if the rosette power thing was just for comical effect, it's interesting that he showed up at all even though UT said he cannot be brought back as a bizarre doll.

2) the state of his body, that UT mentions in ch105.

After all, if it's burnt so badly, that means his cinematic record can't be read and thus altered to turn him into a BD, so how certain are we that they buried Vincent's body?

3) the fact that he constantly breaks the 4th wall despite "being dead" (ch107.5, short story "with Father", etc), which so far has no explanation in canon.

All of these could be nothing important, because Yana's simply playing around with us, just like they could be significant on some aspects.

The point is : the more the story goes, the less we have a reason to believe that what Sascha explained in ch105 is entirely true. Not with UT and possibly other deserters actively working against the higher-ups, without a real explanation from their side so far.

TL;DR the possibility of Vincent having become a Shinigami can't be entirely ruled out and won't be, until we have found out the entire truth about the Shinigami Organization.

Is the key to their fate really suicide ? Or are there other actions in life that will turn someone into a Shinigami post mortem? Until a deserter, UT or somebody else, tells their version of the truth, I will not trust the information we've had in canon so far about Shinigamis.

(Personally I'd rather he's truly and definitely dead, but if him becoming a Shinigami furthers the very important plot thread of the Shinigamis' higher ups being absolute assholes who need to be taken down, then I'll be okay with it.)

Sorry if it's a bit confusing, but there's no way to be sure of anything on that topic. Have a good day Anon!
