#but also just impressed someone on tumblr only knows him as 'the guy who ai generated a cat once''

[savefrog]

how to explain to people that while we DO need to desperately dismantle AI’s capitalism-driven rise to prominence in many professional areas especially art because of how it will be used to replace artists in exchange for cheap content and on the back of uncredited artists that came before, and how things can be said about supporting the ai platforms that enable this

that simultaneously using Dall-E mini or Bing or whatever once to make a cat at some nebulous point is not like. It is not like. He did not just shoot an artist point blank out in an alleyway 😭

[theladyragnell]

ooh! so exciting when i'm in time for ficlet prompts. leverage ot3, au - court intrigue and/or space opera? :D also, have you seen the ot3tropetober tumblr for this ot3? full of cute au works :)

(I have not! Even after having this ask in my inbox for a week and a half, whoops. It’s been a Month, you guys. But I am glad to know it’s out there! Anyway, this is ... I am not even sure what it is, but I stole some plot from one of my origfics for it, as one does.)

Hardison has to admit he is out of his depth here.

Not out loud, because that's no way to build confidence in his skills and also because he doesn't know anyone in the biggest party in the galaxy and he's not going to make a good impression talking to himself. He kind of wants to ping the AI on Lucille for some sympathy, but that's not a lot better than talking to himself, since he programmed the AI. (And also if the empire's digital security team is halfway competent despite all evidence to the contrary they could trace that ping back to his spot on the docks and he is not risking his beloved ship.)

Thing is, usually Hardison's job is to steal things. He and Lucille get up in orbit, send out some nice innocent satellite signals to mask their position, and hack into planetary data streams, get the money, and get out. When there's something he wants he can't get from orbit, he flies in, he makes security forget he was ever there and gets out again. That's easy. He knows all that.

Tonight, he's here to stop a theft, he's wearing a fancy outfit, and he's expecting people to believe he's a diplomat from a wealthy space station, because the emperor's birthday party is full of people wearing personal concealment devices that can foil his hacks from a distance, so he's got to get close enough to get evidence, dump it in security's lap, escape with a prize as payment for his hard work before they figure out he's the leak, and get Lucille off the planet.

But Hardison can tell he's not the only one at this party circling closer and closer around the ambassador from another station who's about to make a deal with a private company that mines ice on the planet this moon orbits to skim a little off the top, make sure his station's poor water management gets taken care of under the table. Hardison might steal money, and he might steal information, and he might sometimes steal a piece of tech or a piece of jewelry he can't construct on his own, but he's got a line, and that line is stealing water. Seems there are other people with a similar line.

One of the guards isn't a guard, for one thing. Sure, he's wearing the right outfit, and his security pendant is almost right, but under Hardison's scans, way superior to the venue's scans, there are some strains of code that have the right effects but the wrong construction. A good fake, but a fake. Plus, security guards are supposed to look suave and non-threatening at parties like this, and this guy looks like he's going to haul off and punch someone at any minute, except when the government minister he's supposed to be guarding looks at him and he puts on an aw-shucks smile like an outer-rim boy just excited to be at the center of the empire.

And then there's the server who keeps bringing the ambassador drinks. Hardison has caught her going by him at least four times, and he's pretty sure on the second one she lifted something off of him. The guard who's not a guard could maybe be imperial intelligence, the kind of guy they bring in when something's going down and they need an actual threat, but she's not anything official, Hardison would bet any money on that, and he's got a lot of money.

No, they're thieves, and he knows that because he's pretty sure they've clocked him too. The guard keeps giving him scowls, and the server brings him drinks almost as often as she does the actual threat. So either they're stealing something else, or Hardison's intelligence got around to a few other places too, and he's not the only thief in the galaxy who drew a line.

Hardison didn't get as far as he's come by playing things safe. Next time the server comes to bring him a drink and try to steal his access cards, he takes the drink, hands her a data chip under his last cup, and says “You here about the ice?”

She narrows her eyes, squinting at him like no trained server ever would, debating running or playing like he did something to her or just walking away. “Why do you care?”

“Because we shouldn't get in each other's way. Data chip tells you what you need to know about my play. You check that out.” He jerks his head at the guard. “And keep an eye on that guy, I think he's on our side but haven't talked to him yet.”

“I'm going,” she says, and does, but he sees her stop to put the chip in a very well-hidden reader that must be feeding into an earpiece from the way she tilts her head.

After that, it's not really a surprise when the minister the other thief is guarding comes over for a conversation with him, working her way slowly through the crowd, steered so subtly that she might as well not be steered at all, and Hardison's opinion of the definitely-not-a-guard goes way up, and he slips another data chip to him, watches him put it in his security pendant—explains some of the weird code, that's a nice design Hardison definitely plans to steal—and look down at his screen like he's getting a security update from the central office while Hardison talks about how much he's enjoying the scenery on the moon.

Which he is. The moon is damn gorgeous.

When the minister moves on, the guard gives him one jerk of a nod, and Hardison has to hide his grin. Across the room, the server is watching, and she shrugs, and then she disappears behind a pillar, out to do whatever it is she came here for.

Hardison takes a communications backdoor into his data chips, subvocalizing a message that will read off as text to them: When this is all over, I've got a ship out at the docks, if you need an exit.

He doesn't expect them to take him up on it, but hey, it can't hurt to make the offer. Hardison gets his attention of them, sure they at last won't try to stop him, and goes to plant a bug on an ambassador.

[captain-jinguji]

Okay. I have this in mind for some time now. So, i have asked about the boys with an youtuber s/o,but i was hoping if you can make another hc where the boys meet the most famous youtuber in Japan, who is also their crush. Like the youtuber is famous for such a good humour, she/he does parkour and crazy things😂. You just can't love her/him. Sorry if i annoy you with how many asks i have, i just have a lot of imagination

I just realized with this post that tumblr updated :0 idk if I like the new layout... Anyways! Your imagination is fine bb I love seeing asks :)

STARISH + QUARTET NIGHT + HEAVENS meeting the most famous YouTuber in Japan

STARISH

Natsuki:

He only watches their videos because hes amazed okay but he also gets scared when they do crazy stunts. Meeting them would not be much different than meeting anyone else because hes super nice and chill with just about anyone. Goes to the meet and greet and becomes friends with his crush :)

Tokiya:

Lets make one thing clear here. He doesnt watch their videos, otoya does and he just happens to be in the same room when he does, okay? But he does like them... And is concerned like why are you going so crazy? Asks his "crush" why they're doing these crazy things and it somehow turns into a nice convo ~

Cecil:

Otoya also got him into it and he IMMEDIATELY fell in love with them. Like worse than anything ever. Has to meet them. Goes into the meet and greet kind of like... Shy but they like him anyways because who doesnt? Totally has an easy time to connect with them.

Ren:

He loves people who dig thrill and adventure so he was bound to stumble onto their YT page sooner or later. He's at the first meet and greet ever and was one of the first fans, ever. His natural charms definitely help him ;) and they quickly hit it off.

Otoya:

Ultimate fan. He was just browsing through YouTube one day when he found them and watched ALL their videos. Goes to one of the first meet and greets and even though hes super shy, he actually makes them laugh and even holds up the line a bit.. So they exchange numbers and now they're texting day and night!

Syo:

Much like Ren, he LOVES people who seek thrill and he LOVES them. Has all the merch and goes to every event theyre at (as long as his schedule permits) is kind of awkward and stumbles over his words but ultimately leaved a good impression.

Masato:

AWKWARD. He will never admit that Ren got him into it but he goes to one of their events in secret and congratulates them on their fame. Super polite and they end up liking him and next thing he knows, they're at one of STARISHs concerts and he almost flies off the stage.

QUARTET NIGHT

Reiji:

Hes a youtuber nerd and thats just facts. He loves their videos and is always one of the first to see them. Much like Ren, he uses his natural charms to hit them up at a meet and greet. Not awkward and all and actually gets a coffee date out of it ~

Ranmaru:

Super awkward because he looks so threatening but theyre a thrill seeking person so actually, they're hella attracted to Ranmaru and strike up a convo with him before he even gets the chance to. Hates that he's getting nervous but they comment on his band t-shirt and the convo just goes off from there.

Camus:

Much like Ranmaru, he also looks low-key threatening and attractive to them. So imagine the look on their face when Camus pulls the butler card. Honestly makes them laugh and Camus didnt know whether to be offended or relieved.

Ai:

Hes the ultimate ultimate fan. Knows everything about them. Knows their likes and dislikes and even their bloodtype. Sounds creepy but its only because hes a robot he swears!!! His emotionless expression catches their eye and they strike up a convo with him and he just keeps it going from there.

HEAVENS

Eiichi:

Smh hes not even a thrill seeking guy but he just LOVES your personality. Like ugh nothing is more attractive than someone who does what they want. Also has natural charms that help him at the meet and greets and he gets a dinner date out of it.

Kira:

Hes not even into their videos, just got dragged to go by Eiichi and somehow became friends with them. Now he has their number and theyre flirting day and night 👀

Nagi:

Much like Syo, he just loves their videos but is kind of insecure about how hes gonna be perceived by them. Like yeah hes a star too but hes also annoying and he knows that. So imagine the look on his face when they tell him hes so fun to be around.

Eiji:

Super cute about it okay. Like he meets them and is one of the cute fans that just compliment them and maybe theres a little blush on his cheeks ~ and that's when they pick up on him and hunt him down, asking him about himself. Friendship and maybe more after that 👀

Yamato:

LOVES them. Goes to the meet and greet and suggests a collab since hes 👀 ya know. Also super sporty and crazy. And they actually take him up on the offer? Long story short hes in a lot of videos now and the fans started to ship them. If only they knew ~

Van:

Hes the fourth and final natural charmer. His silly personality mixed with his soft flirts are what gets him bonus points and he ultimately gets their number. Stays up all night to text and somehow also ends up in their videos.

Shion:

Hes like Eiji. His soft personality is what makes THEM talk to HIM and hes super chill like Natsuki. Just makes friends with them easily and goes on a little date with them :) super cute and wholesome.

i love all of you and please, stay safe. — sofiafabulousphan”

Admin Jess: Sofia, bb T^T I honestly can’t express how much your words mean to me. I love you so so much thank you for everything. I honestly won’t deny, it’s hard. I think it will always be difficult to a certain degree to run this blog. Not that I don’t love every second of it believe me, I just (LMAO LEAVE IT TO ME TO START TEARING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF TYPING THIS) I’ve never wanted to do something I wanted to just because I can.  I don’t run this blog expecting anything in return. I do it because I genuinely love, love the happiness it brings other people, because I love seventeen and I love doing it all. If I didn’t love it with all my heart I don’t think I would have held up this long. You’re right, it’s my last year of high school. My hardest year because I decided to take a multitude of difficult classes. I have cried tears over so many classes (I’m crying writing this response omfg PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER JESS), I have had plenty of mental breakdowns, a lot of crying whenever someone simply asks me if I’m ok or suggests I get more sleep. I have been an emotional wreck all year. It is my fault though, I did decide to take challenging courses this school year, but one can only run on four hours of sleep everyday for so long and not be emotional I guess. AND I WAS TERRIFIED. I was so scared that in the course of this year, through all the difficult hours of studying and finishing homework at 2/3am in the morning before having to wake up at 6am and walk to school by 7am, that I wouldn’t have the time or effort to do just the one thing I wanted to do the most in the world. I only had one real hobby I loved doing and it was running this blog (again hella emotional and dramatic sorry it’s like one am here when I’m writing this). So I forgo sleep to get everything done. It’s not healthy but in my mind, if I gave up on this blog for one day, that one day might turn into two days, which would turn into a month, and then I’d never be able to do anything ever again just because I kept pushing it off, treating it as if it didn’t mean the world to me when it so very dearly does. OK I’M RAMBLING ABOUT MYSELF NO ONE CARES JESS AHEM,,, My point is, I sacrificed sleep for school and this blog not because I was forced to, but because if I slept, this feeling of guilt when I woke up in the morning, a feeling of “ahh I could have done more, I could have been better” would permeate my mind for who knows how long. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I hate disappointing people. So to hear you say this blog and all the stuff we do on it makes you happy? It makes me think maybe I’m not such a big disappointment after all, and maybe if I keep working hard, I can continue making more people happier, and that’s all I really want. True, with college approaching, I can’t make any guarantees. I anticipate not being able to do anything at all, and that idea is scary too and makes me want to work even harder now while I still can. I will definitely try to get more rest though??? I mean no one likes a sleep-deprived me at 3am lmao, I may seem nice but at 3am I’m bawling my eyes out over homework and cursing at my posters and pictures of Seventeen and school and textbooks in like three different languages (it’s not pretty lol). So yes rest? Idk what that is... but I’ll try??? fjnvksjn? I think I recall when you first sent in an ask, I’m not too sure but honestly the blog is about as old as you’ve been here so thank you for being one of our first supporters (did you have a book with a flower icon hmm trying to recall)! The hate I think will always be a thing I’m sure, I just don’t know how to deal with it T-T I am very naturally a sensitive human bean, what can I say... LMAO I’M NOT GORGEOUS THOUGH it’s called filters, lighting, angles, and makeup. The only reason I look anywhere near decent is because I use a combination of those things to hide all my flaws LMAO. As for singing, I’m not super? I can sing a pitch correctly I suppose? I can sing a chromatic scale? Idk if that qualifies as good singing (I can definitely sing svt songs in broken Korean shamelessly no matter where I go though). I’m really not that good, but I’m not awful like a dying seal or smth. I don’t even think I’m a talented writer, I just try my best I guess. I do sincerely try my hardest. YOU’RE NOT ANNOYING AT ALL I 117% would listen to you rant or scream about anything and I’m just super grateful you don’t think I’m annoying lsnfdnvd. OF COURSE I THINK YOU AND CHAN ARE THE CUTEST (or you and Jongdae pick your poison;) and of course I sent all those Channie pics omfg, I’m always here if you need it^~^ Thank you for all your kind words love (AND IMMA PRETEND YOU DIDN’T CALL ME JOSHUA’S WIFE BC MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT KDFJNVKSBBDIBI I’LL CALL YOU CHAN’S WIFE ISTG I WILL) make sure to take care of yourself and you’re always welcome to come talk to me bb :)

Admin Meagan:  aaaHHHHHHH, really appreciate you Sofia ✨😩 Gosh, can't believe you wrote us sub a long essay AHAHAHAH.

Phan Cam: Open Mike Nite

WARNING: This may not post in time as this is suppose to take place on the last week of August.

Hiya, folks! Welcome to Day 2 of Dream FES: Open Mike Nite! This year’s Open Mike promises to be spectacular... And a bit short. First up, we have some lovely ladies who are about to prove just how strong they can be.

It’s just something a friend of ours wrote for us sometime ago. I know most people wouldn’t think she could do it, but she has more heart than any of us.

Yeah. If it hadn’t been for her, there are somethings we wouldn’t be able to do.

MC: She sounds like a great person. Does she have a name?

If you please, she wishes to remain anonymous. For certain reasons.

MC: So she’s shy? Okay, I won’t pry into it. Don’t want you Women of Power to beat me to a pulp.

>The audience laughs.

Oh well. I guess they wouldn’t believe an AI could be capable of writing a song.

I’m sure you’ll be getting credit someday. Just be patient.

MC: After that, we have Ryuji Sakamoto and his boy friends. So, this is the famous Skul5 I’ve heard about?

I wish. But I already have other guys in mind. My friends are just fillin’ in. We don’t even have a fifth member. But I ain’t givin’ up.

MC: I see. Hope you succeed.

Though I’m hopin’ Renren would consider joinin’ for real.

Sorry. But I think if I joined, Skul5 wouldn’t make sense since you’re suppose to be the leader. Besides, I still like to try other things.

As do I. Though, I’d like to try my hand at being an idol myself. But I think I have enough admirers to last me a long time.

>The audience laugh.

MC: A little too late for that, Akechi san. Although, one of your friends here might be showing what you mean.

(trying to back away from some girls trying to get on stage) No doubt.

MC: Sorry, ladies, but you have to keep off stage. Partly for health reasons. You don’t want to give our performers the coronavirus... Okay, bad joke. But seriously, stay off the stage. You should control yourselves.

Besides, he’s taken.

Indeed. My heart is already yours, Ren.

You heard ‘em: Access to Inari: Denied.

>All the girls whined in disappointment.

Don’t be sad. I’m sure, if Yusuke would agree to it, you can commission signed paintings. Is that okay?

Fox: I’ll see what I can do.

MC: Looks like you dodged a bullet there. And after the Substitute Skul5 performs, we have a special treat for all of you. A performance by one of the world’s newest superhero teams, the Future Avengers!

I don’t know how I got talked into this. I know I sang that song, but this is embarrassing.

Hey, this is Bruno’s idea. Any complaints you have now, direct them to him.

I just thought about doing this. I just wanted to see what it was like to be up here like this.

MC: So you signed in on a whim? (laughs a bit) Oh, man, I hope you know what you’re doing.

Bruno: I’ve watched enough of these concerts and previous Dream Festivals to know what to do. So I think we should be fine.

It also helps that Ryuji and KUROFUNE have been coaching us for this. We owe them thanks.

Skull: (a bit proud) You bet. We’ve done a lot.

We’ve also had help from a friend of ours online.

MC: Really? Who?

Kei: (nervous smile) You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you.

MC: Try us.

Kei: ...

??????: Is this proof enough?

MC: Wow! I didn’t know you could throw your voice. Is that another power besides summoning kaiju?

Kei: No.

??????: I’m right here. Or, did you forget about us.

MC: (shocked) Oops! My bad. I forgot to introduce our co-hosts who will be joining us via video phone. First up, all the way in Paris, France, teen model and heart-throb, Adrien Agreste!

NOTE: I’d like to apologize in advanced for the following image.

Konnichi wa. I hope you all have a great show for us.

MC: By the way, Adrien san... Is that a sock floating over there?

Adrien: ... My cousin’s a great magician. I thought I’d try a trick of my own... Now watch me make the sock disappear.

>With that, the sock floats away off screen.

MC: Amazing! A model and a magician? Is there anything you can’t do, Adrien san?

Adrien: Well, the only thing I can’t do right now is actually go to Japan to enjoy Dream FES. Me and some of my friends were really looking forward to it. Especially if it were to take place at the Summer Olympics.

Skull: We actually didn’t think we were gonna have it this year because of the Summer Olympics. But D-Four said that we coulda still have performed there.

Adrien: And we all hope you will.

Skull: We will... If I could properly get Skul5 together.

Adrien: I’ll look forward to it. Me and my friends.

Thanks. We’ll look forward to it, too.

MC: Though distance separates them, their friendship holds them close. If this were the Love Meets Bonds Festival, this would be an even bigger tear jerker. Now, all the way from America, a rocker who who’s rocked New York even more than the virus or an alien invasion, sensation Ross Caliban!

What’s up, Tokyo! This is Dream FES!

>The crowd cheered.

Ross Caliban: Alright. I just I wasn’t trapped at home and have to watch this on screen. But no matter the distance, nothing can stop the beat. I bet even Spider-Man would agree.

Crow: I’m sure he will.

MC: Next, who decided to show up here in person, famed enka singer, Misuzu Hiiragi!

Thank you all for having me here.

MC: Now, Misuzu san, I know it’s going to sound like I’m prying, but I just herd you just got remarried. I guess that mean you and Taro Namatame really are through.

Misuzu Hiiragi: Pretty much. Though to be honest, even before the affair, Taro and I were pretty much drifting apart what with our jobs. But, we worked it out in the end and now we’re still good friends. He even introduced me to the man who is now my husband... Unofficially, of course. We’re still working some things out. He’s in the audience right now. How are you enjoying the show?

>Someone stands up.

Real fine. It’s no End of Summer or Summer Olympics, but it’s still a great show.

Misuzu Hiiragi: I’m glad you think that.

MC: (a bit surprised) Whoa! The King of Stride? Guess that makes you the Queen of Stride.

Misuzu Hiiragi: (laughs a bit) No, I think my stepdaughter’s claimed that title. Sorry.

>The audience laughs at the joke.

MC: Well-

>Suddenly, a stagehand rushes to the MC and hands him a note. He reads it.

MC: Well look at this! It appears we have a couple of last minute guest hosts.

Ross Caliban: Are you serious? Who?

MC: (reading the note more) I’m not sure. They say they wishes to remain anonymous. They’re even sending a couple of guys with personal computers because they don’t want to be traced.

>Suddenly, two men come up to the host table, each with a couple of laptops.

We’re here on behalf of our employers. They apologize for the sudden appearance.

They’re even willing to make a donation to make up for wasting your time.

MC: Well that’s very generous of them, but Stark Enterprises backs us up. But I’m sure it’ll be fine... It’ll even raise my pay check... (laughing) I’m just joking.

>The audience laughs as the two men set up the laptops. They turn on.

We apologize for the sudden appearance. You may refer to me as “E”.

And me as “H”. We just wish to enjoy your Dream Festival.

MC: So what have to mysteries on our hands. This Dream FES is really getting more and more exciting.

Adrien: I know. Now I really wish I was there.

MC: No doubt. Anyway, aside from our first two acts, we have plenty more... Including a mystery entry. Now, without further ado, let’s get on with the show!

Panther: We’re the first to go! Are you ready?

Queen, Oracle, Noir, and Violet: Ready!

Then let’s do this!

>The Women of Power begin performing You Are Stronger.

>After the song.

Adrien: Amazing! That performance was so cool! I bet even Clara Nightingale would be impressed.

Ross Caliban: No doubt. I’ve seen girl groups perform before, but wow... You girls really stole my heart!

Misuzu Hiiragi: You girls are no Rise Kujikawa or Kanamin Kitchen, but you five really show promising talent.

E: Yes. You all dance so beautifully. And that song about how people can be stronger than who they are? Sounds like an absolute inspiration.

H: So wonderful. I bet even the hard-hearted would be moved.

Panther: Thank you. And we thank our friend who responsible for it.

Sophie: (happily whispering) Thank you.

MC: Now on to our next group. Substitute Skul5?

Skull: It’s just the song I did last Dream FES. I hope you all like it this year.

Joker: Because it’s important to continue perusing what is in your heart.

Fox: Beauty exists in dream and your dream will not wait.

Mona: Though they may seem out of reach, this song will keep you going.

Crow: So let us sing and you will reach your goal in the speed of light!

Substitute Skul5: So, KEEP RUNNIN’ DREAM!

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheer!

Let the race begin!

Catch Your Cheers!

Let’s cross the finish line together.

Catch Your Cheers!

I’m flattered by your good cheer!

Catch Your Cheers!

Cheerful Jam Coord

Such a wonderful feeling you have given me.

Catch Your Cheers!

Cheerful Jam Coord

Your cheers will unlock the mystery of your dreams.

REMINDER: The following images are not in violation of the Tumblr policy as they do not actually contain sensitive or adult contain. They only show the upper half. Please do not flag.

>We change clothes.

Cheerful Jam Series! Complete!

>With that, we perform KEEP RUNNIN’ DREAM. Skull was right. If we could, we could become a real Unit with him instead of substitutes... But, we already have our paths set. Though they still go side by side, they are different, but our bond is unbreakable.

>After the song, the audience went wild.

Adrien: That was so cool! Even a close friend of mine agrees that you guys ere great.

Ross Caliban: I think you guys are awesome together. I know you guys are just armatures filling in, but wow!

Misuzu Hiiragi: My thought as well. It’s remarkable on how the song goes.

E: Yes. If my own friends could see this, they would love it.

H: Indeed. I think there may have been someone who may have had his heart touched by this... Despite him claiming that he didn’t have one.

>I can sense that’s right. But hearing about someone touching the heart of someone who claims to not have a heart does sort of remind me of Sophie creator... So why does my thought keep turning to Boss?

MC: Now, on to our next act! You know them as superheroes, but tonight, you will know them as stars. Give it up for the Future Avengers!

Bruno: I know Makoto is the leader, but are you ready!?

Makoto: We’re with you all the way, Bruno!

>Adi, Chloe, and Kei agree.

Bruno: Then let’s do it! This is a song I’ve been working on. The only down side is that we didn’t have time to pay for the Dream Festival System.* Now, let’s do this! Our song, Storms of Glory!

NOTE 2:* Actually, we forgot to add the Future Avengers act. We didn’t have time to use the Dream Festival System and I’m having trouble saving things on Tumblr, most likely due to how long this post is. But we’ll see if we can put up the song. Also, we like apologized if it sounds a bit rushed.

Bruno Little did you know, we’re not just some punks We’re what fly the air

Makoto You’ll never see it coming, you’ll be sunk Then you’ll know we’re there

Adi Don’t bother looking up, you’ll be down We bring the justice right now and here

Chloe Power and the sky will not let you frown The storm of glory is near

Kei Let’s go

Future Avengers Storm of Glory, blow your winds this way Your flight will lead us to victory No darkness will stand this day The day we shine and see

>After the song.

Adrien: It sounds a little rushed. But I suppose you deserve an A for effort.

Ross Caliban: But you do have a point, the song doesn’t really connect. But it was a good try. I’m sure you’ll get it next time.

Misuzu Hiiragi: I can tell that you have potential in the music depart ment aside from being a hero. Perhaps a little more pactice would be good for you.

E: I agree. It pays to practice. How about if things calm down, I can help you?

Bruno: You really mean that?

H: I believe she does.

Bruno: ... Thank you.

>A few acts later.

MC: And now for our last act. A mystery act because she wanted to surprise us. Now give it up for...

>Suddenly, the lights go out. Then, a spot light shows on stage... We were surprised by who was in it.

Surprise, everyone!

A- Akane!?

MC: Wow, Akane chan. I guess you had the Phantom Thieves in mind for this, huh?

Akane: Yeah. My friends helped me out with it.

Panther: I was in charge of the long socks and shoes.

Queen: The skirt, belt, and corset were me.

Oracle: I did the coat and gloves.

Noir: I commissioned the mask and top hat.

Violet: And I did the make-up.

MC: So it was a team effort? You have some great friends, Akane chan.

Akane: Pretty much. Sorry, Dad. I just wanted this to be a surprise.

Wolf: ...

MC: Looks like your pops is still having a hard time processing this. I’d explain why, but that would be entering some thorny territory. So, is the song also after the Phantom Thieves?

Akane: That’s right. This one’s for you, my Thieves!

>With that, Akane performs He’s a Trickster⭐.

>After the performance, the crowd cheered loudly. Even Wolf couldn’t resist... Then he mouths something to her.

Wolf: We’ll talk about the highly inappropriate outfit later. Right now, you did great tonight.

Akane: Thanks.

Adrien: I can really feel the Phantom Thief vibe. And I thought Cat Noir appears to be the mysterious type... Or especially Ladybug.

Ross Caliban: Well, I think the outfit’s a bit of an overkill, but it definitely shows your devotion to the group. Believe it or not, I’m a bit of a Phan-boy myself. Don’t worry, Spider-Man’s still number one in my book.

Misuzu Hiiragi: But I agree, the outfit’s overkill. However, red is definitely your color.

E: Yes. You really put your heart into this. Believe me, I know.

H: I sense it too, even though I am not there. You wanted to show your appreciation to your heroes.

Akane: Thank you.

MC: Well, that about wraps it up for tonight. Tomorrow night, we will see which Idol will make it to the Top Three and become True Idols and get a music deal. We’ll see you then!

>The audience applauded.

>Later back stage, the MC was taking some coffee when he heard someone talking in the shower room.

WARNING: Some nudity ahead, but nothing will be shown. Just the upper half. Please don’t flag.

I think tonight was rather exciting. I think that’s the first time me and Morgana have ever used the System.

Mona: (no picture available) I know. I hope Lady Ann was watching.

Are you seriously thinking about that? We know about your infatuation with her, but asking if she saw your magical boy transformation? Don’t you think that’s a bit much?

Crow: Can you blame him? It’s a whole new sensation. Is this how it always feel when you use it?

You bet. It feels like you’re bein’ empowered by the fans and everyone else who believes in you. Kinda like our Personas.

Fox: They say clothes make the man, I think this takes it up a level.

Crow: Yes. But of course, we shouldn’t forget the actual performance. Singing and dancing our hearts out. We’ve come a long way since Dancing in Starlight.

We sure have. It seemed not too long ago when we did that. I know we were told that it was just a dream and that we would forget about it when we woke, but the experience will always be in our hearts.

Mona: That’s right. We’ll never truly forget.

>We all smiled happily.

Skull: It’s just a shame the others weren’t here. Oka, Nobu, and Ichiro. And we still haven’t even found a fifth guy. Because of the virus, we can’t have any auditions.

Crow: You could try hold online auditions.

Skull: ...

FOR REAL!? You coulda said so earlier!?

>We all laugh... Even the MC couldn’t hold it in... And he got an idea.

Crow: Is someone there?

Joker: (using Third Eye) I have something... It’s the MC.

MC: (nervous) Sorry! You just had the door open and I couldn’t help it. Don’t worry, I didn’t peek. But I have thought about what you said about Skul5 needing a fifth member. I know I shouldn’t be saying this because it may seem like favoritism, but... I think I might know a guy who might work out.

Skull: For real? Who?

MC: He’s this really nice kid I met while I was staying at this nice little pension... in Karuizawa...

>To be continued...

APOLOGY: Sorry. We know the MC said this would short, but it wasn’t.

Also, the Joker sprite is by Hex.

[herotheshiro]

[new thing i’m gonna do is put the manga’s cover on my review posts so y’all who don’t know/memorize titles can tell/remember what manga i’m talking about at a glance. photos will purposely not be good quality, i’m just grabbing off of google images and this isn’t a scanlations tumblr or anything]

so. today i’m writing about hate no kouya de vacances wo/the world’s end. it’s actually made up of 3 one-shots, and i’ll be reviewing the 2nd and 3rd ones -- i didn’t read the 1st one bc it’s not stuff i’m that interested in reading (ageless demon picks up human child, child grows up and he and the demon get together as adults).

2nd story is called the frog boy i think, it’s about a HS boy who’s really pretty but he’s disgusted by himself and his own looks. he befriends a classmate who’s really into bugs and fossils and etc and obviously this is BL they get together at the end. this was a nice read, i liked that when the classmate finally confesses near the end, you know he likes the main for more than his looks even though the beginning of his confession is like ‘i’ve been thinking lately you’re prettier than a luna moth...’. tbh i was afraid the story was gonna take a morbid turn and the main disfigures his own face out of personal disgust or something and the classmate would be into it, but nah it was basically just a ‘i like you for more than/past your looks’ story. ending where the main suddenly stops being nauseous abt his looks didn’t really make sense bc you just don’t suddenly stop hating yourself just bc someone you like confesses to you but whatever, story logic where everything gets wrapped up in the end nicely is how it is.

3rd story is called something along the lines of vacationing at world’s end [characters on cover are for this story], and man tbh this is the story i really wanted to write about in this post. (spoilers oncoming bc i’m just gonna give the entire story here so i can discuss it) main character shin is a scientist/astronaut living alone on a planet carrying out research missions while he keeps contact with a scientist rurikiya (was that his name? i forgot) back on earth (who he is also actually in a relationship with. more on this later in my thoughts). he’s been out there alone for years, so occasionally he has his mission support AI (designed by scientist dude) take the form of the scientist dude and he sleeps with him and eventually just hangs with him in rurikiya form. finally it’s time for shin to return home but turns out a year prior earth had been completely destroyed by an asteroid and also rurikiya died then ... and turns out the person he had been talking to for that entire year was the AI, which turns out rurikiya put all his neural info into up until his death which was why the AI was basically able to develop as and be rurikiya without shin realizing something was up.

ok now that the summary’s out of the way ... stories like this always really pull at my heartstrings. technically it’s a “happy” ending bc in the end shin and rurikiya are together ... it just brings up the decades-old question of “if you copy a person exactly, DNA and thought patterns and all .... is that copy really the same thing as the original person you copied from?” which is hella complicated to even begin to unpack in post that’s just a manga/BL review. there’s another BL that comes to mind that touched on this which is that one abt the main who meets this guy who travelled back in time and is like ‘we’re destined to be together’ and eventually they get together but then the guy dies and idr how the story progresses but the ending is the main living in the future with a robot clone of the time traveller dude ... and now that i’m thinking about it, there’s also a couple other stories i can think of which had similar stories/concepts, and all of them just make me feel so sad...

anyway thoughts on story plot. story starts, and i’m like ‘omg... this is gonna be a case of AI falls in love with human or vice versa huh...’ and then halfway through the story i was like ‘ok the AI is actually gonna be rurikiya somehow, like rurikiya can actually see through the AI so he knows shin has been hooking up with him every night’ bc i thought it was gonna be a simple story where it ends with them together at the end in a HEA and then they hit me with the ‘earth has actually been destroyed’ revelation so then i was like ‘WAIT OMG... THE AI HAS BECOME SENTIENT AND IS IN LOVE WITH SHIN’ and then they’re like ‘well actually rurikiya put all his neural info into the AI so the AI is actually rurikiya basically’. basically a ton of whiplashes... i was under the impression that shin had a secret crush on rurikiya but also turns out (based on the side story at the end which is rurikiya’s pov of shin going off to the other planet and during earth’s doomsday) they were actually in a relationship or something (but then this kind of makes me confused re: that scene when AI rurikiya is like ‘isn’t that creepy? we’re basically the same’ and there’s a shot of shin and rurikiya in bed together ... was that supposed to be like ‘oh all along shin thought he was sleeping with an AI but he was actually sleeping with rurikiya?’ or was it a ‘oh we’re actually both interested in each other like that but that was a weird way to reveal it’. i mean the side story kind of basically says they were in a relationship w rurikiya being like ‘[shin] should have proposed before he left’ but idk. i guess you could argue otherwise) ??

anyway the manga ends with them being like ‘yeah the AI is rurikiya. now with earth destroyed ... at least they can be together for the time being’ which like ok but also i’m the kind of person who’s like ‘no the copy and the original are different entities’ so i’m conflicted ... the ending i feel like could also be interpreted as shin knowing that the AI isn’t rurikiya (bc he’s like ‘you’re dead’ to the AI’s face) but accepting him and his concept of rurikiya as a replacement since the “real” rurikiya is gone. though the acceptance of the ‘aren’t i enough?’ line could go (again) either way ... either 1. the AI with rurikiya’s neural info has memories of their relationship and basically his personality and develops as rurikiya so rurikiya is still with him albeit in AI form or 2. rurikiya and the AI are different, but the AI can take on rurikiya’s form and thus rurikiya can still “be” with shin. again the side story made me a lil confused here bc i was like ‘did rurikiya shift his consciousness to the AI’ with the ‘i can see it shin’ line bc if it’s just an AI then how ... or is rurikiya being like ‘in my mind here on earth i can see it’. the thing about this 3rd story is that i feel like it’s not entirely tight re: the whole AI situation as you would expect from a fully developed sci-fi story but i mean lol this is just a one-shot and there are enough details that everything makes sense (or you can easily make it make sense). also the comment about ‘when the meteroid was coming, only the millionaires, govt officials, and the barest minimum of staff got on the escape ships and i wasn’t able to get a ship to you’ made me so sad bc you damn know well that same shit would happen if this doomsday shit happened today.

anyway i wonder whenever rurikiya was updating the AI with his neural info did he see that shin was sleeping with him. i mean i think the whole sleeping with the AI thing didn’t happen until the year post-earth being destroyed but idr the story’s timeframe. also wanted to say my favorite panel in this story was the panel right after rurikiya tells shin that the earth was destroyed a year ago: it looks so different compared to the rest of the story’s style, and you can tell the raw horror/fear in that one moment.

other than the 1st story that i didn’t read, the 2nd and 3rd stories were nice even though the last one was really sad to read. stories like that which indirectly talk about the concept of forever and losing things always really make me feel some kind of way ... like eden in February and that one one-shot of the guy leaving his country home for college in tokyo both murdered me bc those were basically their themes. god.

[nemuri-no-kid]

It's me, the fic request anon... I hope this doesn't sound rude, but are you going to answer it? It's completely fine if you don't!! I'm just super curious and I keep checking your profile but it never shows!! :) (Sorry I'm being pushy it's been a few weeks now...)

Wait, who’s rude here again? It’s rather me who’s seemingly ignored you. But it wasn’t like that, I swear! But I guess you’d prefer to see an actual answer (finally) instead of excuses, so here you go! (You have some incredible timing though, like I’d post it today anyway - the joy of having cold) I apparently can’t make a simple list and it got ridiculously long, so I’m putting it under Read more. Does tagging people even work under Read more btw? If not then well, I suppose I failed a bit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway. You’re probably already aware of this, but I feel I should point out that Kaito is my dearest boy, and therefore pretty much everything what I’m going to mention here is more or less about him. Contrary to appearances it won’t be only KaiShin, but I admit there’s a lot of that. Also, you won’t find here too many long stories, as I rarely read fics with more than 50k words unless I’d started them before they got so long. I mean, I do have quite a few saved and waiting to be read and I’m sure they’re all amazing, but at the end of the day I usually prefer sleeping than night-reading and yeah. Ok, let’s start:

So, did someone say KaiShin? Because you know, Shinichi is my second dearest boy, and when both of my boys are happy together it’s just the best thing. One of first writers who shown and are keep showing me the joy of reading about these two is @rachello344. Many of Rachel’s fics are only prompts, so they are pretty short and that’s a real shame, but they’re still worth reading! I think my favourite stories are these two and honestly I could read them over and over again - asexual Kaito is good, the fake-but-not-really marriage of these two dorks was the best thing and please write more self-indulgent stuff

@lunarscaped (Luna Darkside)’s oneshots steadily get longer and longer but I definitely don’t mind~ Some of the most memorable to me are Penumbra (a.k.a. only Shinichi could write a romance by accident), Darling, So It Goes (undercover mission and more of oblivious Shinichi) and Ease (just. asfadsfgdga) but really, they’re all good

House of Cards is a beautiful story of Kaito taking care of Shin-chan the Dove written by V. Shalyr (how Ai managed to make that pill will forever remain a mystery though); my other faves are With Each Season (it’s beautifull too), Paper Trail (funny short piece in which Kaito is too good at being bad, somebody stop him), Countdown to Forever (good old taking BO down together) and On Wings of White (aww, these two)

Alaena F. Dragonstar’s Win Some, Lose Some and Shadow of a Smile followed by Echo of a Laugh are all good examples of A+ writing. Boys, it will be fine, you have each other. Check the profile for more good stuff~

All ToukoTai’s fics are good, but Life In Technicolor is good, and then there is this Flower shop AU KaiShin Give A Little which includes Shinichi convincing Kaito to become Kid, and if isn’t that ironic

This Little Thing I Have by teawithmochi is a really nice piece - Conan overthinks his situation, but what are annoying phantom thieves for?

solomonara’s Getting Off Track - did I say something about overthinking? This is real overthinking, boys, come on

Almost Magical by ObsidianAbyss got me by this one scene in the class - Shinichi, if you’re trying to deny you and Kid have a thing, you’re doing it wrong

I love the dialogues in dokidokidk’s The Guy Next Door, they will never be not funny for me, plus it’s a nice idea of AU

Good Soulmate AU KaiShin is not bad, and aceoftwos’s Apple Blossoms is good. Also there are locard’s exchange principle series for even more of these two

Beautiful Carvings written by RavenShira is another really nice Soulmate AU. Misunderstandings are strong in this one - lesson: multiple identities don’t help in finding your soulmate

No Ghosts Need Apply by Cursed Detective is a really nice supernatural story, and Shinichi and Kaito are always a big plus for me, obviously. Kaito is sort of dead - the title may suggest as much - but such trivial detail won’t stop him, haha. And then there is a really nice (Not) Supernatural story. It’s ongoing, Shinichi is not a vampire and honestly, I love this and I need more

purple_mangosteen’s Clair de Lune series mean more KaiShin goodness, and also I’m a sucker for Conan and Kid texting each other

joisbishmyoga - I loved Rolling Snake Eyes for a good application of Kidnichi. Will Conan ever stop being so reckless though? I don’t think so. Pluralverse is about minds of three teenage detectives somehow ending up in Kid’s head, and it’s tight in there. It’s interesting, it’s good, read it. Twist the Knife is really intense and the writing is amazing, but it may not be to everyone’s taste, as rape and trauma happen and well

@kawaiibeyotch (kaitothegreat) writes mainly AoKai fics and they’re wonderful, I simply adore Aoko in these. Some nice examples are Live Life in full Bloom and Hello Incognito - these two are good AUs and have I already mentioned Aoko? There are also few HeiKazu stories which I’ve yet to read but I’m sure they’re worth trying, too

Slip and Fall, Obligation, Pride Goeth Before, Philanthropy, Heavy Silences, Never Here, Never Far and Shades of Grey by blinkblink form sort of a series and I wouldn’t make a better summary to any of them than the author, but it’s Kid and the Kid task force dealing with some actual dangers and criminals, there is action and mystery, and it’s really good written and you totally should read it

Nerves of Steel by Ellen Brand is another must read - Robo-Kaito makes a comeback and things get serious

A Perfect Act, No Little Plans, Both Dark and Deep and Forgiveness and Reunion by Candyland - a set starting from sort of cornering Kid by the police and presenting him an offer he couldn’t refuse followed by good action

@backtodc‘s piece about the Kid task force being actually competent when it comes to other crimes is both funny and brilliant, try it

The Cranes by Acier Glace is just so sweet? No pairings here, it’s just Kid making lots of paper cranes to make you believe in magic and did I say it’s sweet? Because it is

miladyFeather wrote the ridiculous The Adventures of Kudou Shinichi, Fast Food Worker which is ridiculous and I have no regrets sharing this one, even if it’s ridiculous

Now a surprise, as Love-Love Daisakusen by neonquincy1217 is Makoko/Sonoko! Where’s the catch? Well, remember Doito Katsuki? *wink*

When I think of quality SaguKai, I think of @5160763 (OrphanText). There is good KaiShin, too, but both examples I’m putting here happen to be SaguKai, so. Anyway. The way Kaito and Saguru are written, I simply love it. And How we begin is so good? Also, In the language of the birds. I read it while it was being put on Tumblr in small fragments and boy, every new fragment was making me so happy

The Hattori-Kudo Files is a set of few cases solved by Heiji and Conan (who could’ve thought that?), written by MeridianGrimm - I believe the last one isn’t finished, but the others are really interesting! And then there are some nice SaguShin and SaguKai fics, too~

I picked five of Mikauzoran’s fics for different reasons but again, I recommend trying all others as well: The Fifth Detective (Kaito’s reasoning is funny and brilliant, he needs a hug though), The Pit: A Romance and Quietly Starving (SaguKai, these dorks), Healing Heartbreak for the Holidays (SaguKaiShin? That’s even more dorks), and Coming to Terms (KaiRan - usually I prefer it platonic but this one really got me, also interactions with Conan? It was a pleasure to read)

Dressed to Impress by Lisa Telramor is a really nicely written SaguKai oneshot, for all your SaguKai needs

Addy01’s When the travel bug bites is a sweet story about Shinichi travelling the world to find his way in life again and befriending some magician thieves along the way. You made me reread it and I don’t regret anything

In case of Operation: Gift Wrap by Boogum I’ll just copy the author’s summary as it’s explanatory enough: ‘Sera Masumi was used to being mistaken for a boy. She was not used to being mistaken for Kaitou Kid.’

Critique written by Eliryn is a short but really nice piece. “Looks just like the real thing, doesn’t it?”

AngelicSentinel’s the suffering of fools was already amazing as a oneshot, so when more chapters appeared one day I was overjoyed. It’s KaiShin and it’s good. Also, the author is one of the only two (look below) which I trust enough to blindly read their ShinRan fics. Like, I have nothing against ShinRan, and I kind of ship it while being in Canon Mode, but I don’t go and read fics about them at all, so this is quite an achievement. Read their other pieces, too, they’re really worth reading!

Cost of Freedom by @mintchocolateleaves? OMG, Cost of Freedom. Read Cost of Freedom. I love both the plot and the characterizations, it’s amazing, read it. It’s ongoing and you’ll suffer because of that, but read it. And while suffering, try other ongoing fics: The Innocence Game, Law Unto Themselves and various oneshots. Like, I can blindly recommend each and every fic Mint wrote, even ShinRan. Cost of Freedom though

Next, Taliya - I recommend all present and future fics. My faves are Without Fanfare (my heart though), Search and Recovery and Recompense (the kind of Kidnichi enactment I approve and aftermath), A Word of Caution (Ai and Kaito as the main characters? Yes, please) and TMPD Antics (it’s simply hilarious)

lucathia’s 4-6-4-9 is a oneshot about Conan getting disturbing encrypted message and trying to find the sender. Oh, and there was some murder, too

A Snowy Meeting (followed by ongoing Hidden Friendship) by angelwingsonline puts Kaito in DC movies, starting from Quarter of Silence, and lets him befriend and exchange messages with Conan. I love this concept

Ichthyophobia’s Mirror Mirror and Two-faced, Half-faced are really funny - the former has really nice interactions between Shinichi, Kaito and the bad guy, while the latter… Let’s say that Kid fixing Subaru’s face is my aesthetic. And then there is Shaking Hands about Kaito not being really able to do magic anymore but getting help and somehow overcoming it and it’s beautiful. And again, check other fics too~

I liked the idea of Shinichi with grapheme synesthesia working in forensics in Number the Stars by The Sand Assassin. Then there are sweet KaiShin fics: Kaitou the Snowman (Akako, stop) and Dakimakura (it’s just a shirt Conan, you’re making Kid sad)

Yannami’s A Criminal’s Fiasco is a good example of why taking Kaito hostage is a bad idea. Poor criminals

@kkrazy256 (kakashikrazy256) likes making Kaito suffer. A lot. In all possible ways. And I really mean that. If that’s your thing, then check it out. And if it is not, there are the mild ones I like coming back to: Early Snow (this was literally my first fic in this fandom, I’m sentimental ok - also Shinichi and Kaito, come on), Mr Barista (Mystery Train aftermath starring Bourbon and Kid) and Sympathy From the Devil (or how could OVA 10 end if the bad guys weren’t so dramatically bad at being bad). As for the rest, you were warned, haha

In Elirius’s Put on a Smile and Take me Apart Kaito definitely doesn’t cope well with his situation. Somebody help him *sobs*

Hostage situation and platonic KidRan anyone? In that case, Irreplaceable by LostInTheDreams is the thing you need. As for other stories, I can only vouch for these with Kaito, but my boy is suffering a lot. Again

Unfair by Frozen-Infinity, but only if you want your heart to break, my boy is dying and this is unfair

StoryWriter369’s Broken Record makes my heart ache every time because immortal Kaito is not what should ever happen, but I’m doing this to myself from time to time anyway *sobs more*

Hebiaczek’s The fox and hounds is an ongoing story and to be honest I’m not up to date, but what I’ve read was a really amazing writing, and exactly the kind of plot I like the best. Because. The plot.

I loved Externalities by 873.25 and I hope Internalities will be continued. Characters are written so well, and both concepts are really intriguing. Try it and you won’t regret it

And last but definitely not least: kittebasu’s A Study in Scarlette - it’s a must-read. There is a good plot, there is Kaishin and it’s truly amazing, and did I say something at the beginning about not reading long fics? So this one is very long and I still read it, so it really does say somehing

I 100% missed at least few people and I’m totally going to regret it later, but let’s say I’m finished. See you in few weeks Anon, haha

[wildefire]

Can’t sleep? Fight.

A/N: Hey Guys! This is my first fanfic uploaded to tumblr, Hope that you like it!

Character Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC

Genre: Fluff!

Warnings: ??? People Fighting, Swearing, um, I think that’s it.

It had all started with the smoke alarm going off in the middle of my beauty sleep. The damned thing had gone off, right as I was about to fall asleep. At three AM, I was fucking done. After throwing my smoke alarm at the wall -the fourth one destroyed that month- I was beyond angry. After trying to sleep the next hour and a half, I gave up at four-thirty. Throwing on some socks and sleep shorts, I trudged to the kitchen in a sleepless stupor.

“Miss Emily, I believe that you should be sleeping,” Said the AI FRIDAY.

“I would love too FRIDAY, but, the fire alarm in my room went off.”

“Unfortunate, Miss Emily.”

“You have no idea, FRIDAY.”

After finishing my conversation with the AI, I did sleep deprived shuffle from my room, into the elevator, and into the kitchen five floors above me.

_________________

In the following three minutes that followed, waiting for my coffee to be done, I went back down to my room to get my phone and earbuds. I waled back to the elevator, and took it into the kitchen, singing and shimming my shoulders to “You’re Welcome” from Moana.

“I see what’s happening here, you’re face-to-face with greatness and its strange, you don’t even know how you feel, it’s adorable…”

Seeing that the coffee was done brewing, I excitedly got the creamer out. It was pumpkin spice flavored. Tony Stark liked me enough to spoil me with my favorite creamer for my Birthday, and year round.

I poured the creamer in, waiting until the clouds of white goodness were barely visible to stop pouring. Taking a spoon from the drawer next to me, I hum to the new song that’s playing while stirring. Humming French words, not knowing them well enough to sing them, I carry my mug over to the couch, where I sit and drink my coffee, watching the city below me, still alive, and most just now waking up to get ready for work. I find a blanket, and wrap it around myself, feeling chilly.

The sky is already getting that baby pink hue as the Sun rises and the Moon sets, I start to feel sleepy, I put my coffee down, and laid my head on the armrest, and fall asleep.

_________________

Steve walked into the kitchen at six forty-five, to eat and make the coffee before the rest of the team woke up, to find that the coffee had already been made and was piping hot. He wondered who had been up? Maybe Barton- the man might’ve started to do something that the team didn’t know about. It couldn’t be Nat, he hadn’t seen her up before eight unless she was on a mission. Lang, and Stark were still out, due to a thirty-three hour lab session. Vision was always with Wanda, and Wanda wouldn’t wake up for a long time. Bruce was probably still asleep. Emily was probably passed out in her room after the workout that he and Nat put her through. Sam? No. He was in D.C. Bucky, maybe? Steve hadn’t seen Bucky since he was sent out to Wakanda to give a message to T’challa. He might’ve gotten back. Shaking his head, Steve poured himself a mug of black coffee, sipping appreciatively. Deciding to wait a little on his workout, he goes into the living room to drink his coffee and is met with a sight- Emily, sleeping on the couch, curled up, with the coffee on the table next to her. He chuckles, and she shoots up, onto her feet, in a defensive pose.

_________________

I hear a chuckle, and out of pure instinct and habit, I go into my defensive pose. My two brothers would always pull shit on me before I woke up, so, I became a light sleeper. After looking around and realizing that I needed my glasses, I see a blur behind the couch. The blur is tall, and hunky… Steve, or maybe Bucky. But Bucky was sent out on a mission to Wakanda yesterday. So, probably Steve.

“Captain Rogers? Is that you? I can’t really see at the moment.”

The deep timbre of his voice strikes my ears as he chuckles. Again. “Yeah, its me. Why can’t you see?”

“I don’t have my glasses with me.”

“I can see that, but I thought that you had twenty-twenty vision?”

“I do, but when I haven’t had much sleep I don’t have the best eyesight.”

As I talk, his face come more into focus. He has a slight frown on his face, eyebrows scrunched together.

I open my mouth to say something else, and then someone else walks in.

“Well, if it ain’t the two lovebirds! Who knew that Emily would get up this early?”

“Fuck you Tony! That was a mission, and if you don’t recall, IT WAS MISTLETOE! Placed there by you, if I’m remembering correctly!”

“One, you can do that any day sweetheart”- I huffed at this- “And two, Cap doesn’t like that kind of language. And three, you can’t prove that was me. It could’ve been Nat. Or Barton. You’ll never know.”

“Cap! A little help here,” I yell, and turn to the Captain for help.

“Hun, this is between you and Tony. I’m just here for the fun. Meet me in the training room in thirty. I expect you to be able to hold me off for a little while today.”

“I am not going to training today. No fucking way. I’m exhausted.”

“Thats your fault.”

“No it isn’t! The fire alarm in my room went off and it wouldn’t stop until I took it off of it’s mount and smashed it.”

“YOU WHAT? YOU SMASHED MY PROTOTYPE?”

I turned around. “I COULDN’T SLEEP YOU ASSHOLE!”

“I DON’T CARE! YOU JUST DON’T DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!”

“YES, YOU DO! IF YOU CANNOT SLEEP, YOU GET RID OF THE PROBLEM OR RESOLVE IT. I RESOLVED IT.”

“Whatever. You’re cooking for the team for the rest of the week.”

“Tony, I’ve been cooking for almost seventeen years.This’ll be fine.”

“That’s great.”

“It’s not a punishment Tony.”

“Sweetheart, you better impress me, I’m getting tired of takeout.”

“Tony…”

________________________________

Thirty minutes later, I was in the training room, muttering about sleeplessness and failing tests. I was dressed in blue spandex running shorts -since I hated long pants- and a grey sports bra. I flipped my head, bringing my caramel colored hair into a high ponytail, tying the hair tie tight. The captain still wasn’t there yet, which meant that I could do warm up stretches before he got there.

Tugging the waistband of my shorts up a little, I bent over to touch my toes. On a normal day, I would’ve been able to fold all the way over. But I was sore and my hamstrings were tight, so I was only able to reach my toes with my fingertips. Holding the stretch until I felt my hamstrings loosen, I brought myself up, and slowly reached backwards until I felt my back crack. Shaking myself out, I got onto my butt, going into butterfly stretch. My knees could always reach the floor, regardless of how sore I was. Bringing my left shin under me, I straighten my right leg, and lean back. I start to feel the burn on the top of my thigh, and stop when the pain turns into a stretch. I groan with the the way that my muscles are being stretched, bringing my head back and closing my eyes.

The next thing I hear is the sound of the Captain’s voice, shouting “BOO!” Surprised, and scared out of my focus, I jump up and headbut his nose, causing him to fall backwards.

“Oh my god, Captain Rogers? Captain? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Emily. See? Look, no blood,” He says, pointing to his nose.

“I am so sorry Captain. You scared the sh- stuff out of me.”

“I can tell. Finish stretching, it’s going to be a long and rough session for you today.”

“Why?”

“Because Bucky’s back. And you just head butted me in the nose. I also want to know if you can take the both of us at the same time.”

“Steve, you could not have said that to make it more sexual if you tried, could you?”

Part Two

[rogue-bard]

How about for all of them 14 and 29?

Ooooh, interesting questions!

14. Most heroic thing they have ever done?Reighvan - That’s hard. He does a lot of heroic stuff - not because he’s a hero, but because he’s reckless and has a deathwish haha… But if I count out the reckless stuff he has done for evil reasons, it would probably be jumping into a pool full of water and …worm… thingies that go into your body and take over. (I call them Goa’uld for a reason.)He can’t swim at all, but he was holding onto his sister while she was dangling over that pool, and he couldn’t keep holding on (bards and rogues are both so weak, they’re a hilariously helpless pair), so he just jumped down instead of letting her go.That said - it didn’t help. At all. We both almost drowned and had to be rescued by the cleric, who thankfully wasn’t wearing her armor at that moment.Linnearhidlishkashayaska - This campaign hasn’t had many adventures yet, but when the party once was chased down by a group of bandits and the druid and the ranger literally abandoned the paladin and Linny, she stepped out of their hiding place to draw the bandit’s attention to her and then used a bunch of cantrips and lvl1 spells to intimidate them.It at least bought us enough time to maneuver so that Linny was in a line and could use burning hands on them, and the paladin slew the rest. Even our DM was super impressed - she said she was absolutely certain she’d have to take us prisoners!Pash - Oh. Oh god. He is really heroic, character-wise, I swear, but… he’s just a huge klutz. I suppose he always TRIES to save the bad guys, even though they try to kill him, end up wounding him pretty badly and our bounty-hunter ends up shooting them dead either way. He’s done a semi-heroic thing in his background story, but said bounty-hunter is on tumblr too, and doesn’t know about that yet. It wasn’t too heroic, anyway haha.Haine - Haine doesn’t do heroic. This whole campaign is more on the chaotic neutral, verging towards chaotic evil side.One time though, she reanimated a party member who had just been beaten dead by another party member, even though said other party member was still standing there.Another time she pretended to be the new mechanic for the enemy and snuck into their ship that way. Two of our party members (one of which is her frikkin father) then proceeded to blow that ship to to hell while she was on it and refused to wait for her to get off - and she still waited until her AI had extracted some vital data from their computer, before she booked it to a shuttle.Other than that, she is literally a coward. I have that written down on her character sheet. And as I said, they don’t do “good” deeds either way.

29. Biggest positive and negative influences on their life and development? 

Reighvan - Negative: His sister died (or he thought she did) in a house that he had set on fire himself, on purpose, when he was 18. He didn’t plan on her to die, however, and after that became extremely despressed and by extension, because he was with the wrong crowd and just didn’t feel compassion anymore, chaotic evil.Positive: Meeting a cleric who saved his life even though he lost it while trying to assassinate a random guy. She forgave him even after she’d listened to all the evil shit he’d done, and gave him some food for thought about his future and what he wants from it. He became chaotic neutral then.Shortly after that, he finally met the party, who are so infuriatingly good people and who actually like him, that he tries to live up to the person they think he is. So I guess now he’s verging towards chaotic good, even? I didn’t plan that! They are just so nice and always tell him to kill or criple people.(So much for me playing an evil character. Thanks, guys.)

Linneara - In the unlikely event that you see this, Annika: Please don’t read the following paragraphs, okay?Negative: When she was a kid, she fell down a cliff and landed on her head. Ever since then, she had weird hallucinations that she can’t tell from reality. They’re usually typical omens of death that talk to her, but so far, they haven’t been evil. Just cryptic.

Positive: As a teenager, she met a young human adult who set up shop in their town and got her out of her family, who might have been a tad manipulative.

Pash -Negative: He’s been deported to Kessel for a “crime” he did not commit and has “befriended” someone on the way who is a very bad influence on this little, gullible sunshine.Oh, also, EOTE takes place shortly after Star Wars: A New Hope, so with having been in the imperial fleet academy and stuff, he’s also convinced that the empire are the good guys. He’s probably shot down one or two rebels during one outing in the academy. Though he doesn’t really make the connection that that means they’re dead. Otherwise he’d probably freak out pretty hard, having killed someone.

Positive: His parents. They’re so honest and so proud of him being an imperial officer, that he’ll probably have to keep pretending to be one forever.

Haine -Negative: The party, definitely. The party is morally so corrupted, Haine now thinks it’s okay to blow up buildings (or whole moons) to cover tracks of a crime, and to shoot people if they have a different opinion than you.

Positive: Her father, who is played by another player (he’s a PC, is what I’m trying to say). Unlike the rest of the family (including her) or the party, he has a heart of mostly gold and only a little stone, and tries very hard to keep her from doing weird things.That’s ranging from pranks (for some reason, he didn’t think it was funny when she put instant coffee into the ship’s warm-water tank for showering), to very bad life-choices (turns out the guy she was flirting with was her uncle? I honestly didn’t know and neither did Haine???).Unfortunately, for some reason it doesn’t extend to blowing up or shooting other people.

I hope that answer isn’t too long. But the questions are so cool! Thanks for asking!

How does homeowner's insurance cover belongings? ?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm new to this. So my fiance and I bought our first home pretty recently. Yes, I'm a bad person and did not read through or understand everything in the giant insurance book. I'm a bit confused as to how homeowner's insurance would cover belongings in the event of a theft, accident or whatever. We chose a low, $500 deductible. Let's say there was a theft. And I estimate the belongings stolen were worth $2000. What's stopping me from saying they were worth $3000? Or more? Wouldn't they want some kind of proof as to the value? I don't have the receipt for the television I bought 3 years ago, for example. I know I can ask my agent these things, but she is too overly helpful and chatters on and on and just ends up confusing me with information overload. :-)""

The car was towed to CJ's collision at 6128 n beechwood Philadelphia, pa ,19138 on 02-11-11. Phone number 215-848-2836. On 02-14-11 Omni insurance sent out an appraiser to evaluate the vehicle. They then faxed an estimate on 02-15-11 totaling $5300 to CJ's collision shop. I went to the collision shop on 02-15-11 to sign paperwork giving them permission to work on my car. They then began the repairs. On 02-18-11 the insurance company then deemed my car a total loss. The vehicle is a 2005 Nissan Altima SL with 96,477 miles. The NADA value for the vehicle is 10,995. According to Omni insurance a car is deemed a total loss when the repairs reach 70% of the value of the vehicle. Omni insurance valued my car at 7,415. They then proposed a settlement offer of 5826.40. They deducted 975.00 in prior damages(which I disagree with) and 1000.00 my deductible. The settlement offer included 386.40 in sales tax. After negotiating on 02-28-11 they proposed an offer of 7835.30. The value they gave my car was 9255. Again 975.00 was deducted and my 1000.00 deductible. They including sales tax and tags/registration fee in the offer. I accepted the offer out of desperation because they also stopped paying for the rental car I was driving on 02-28-11. I work, attend school and have a child my schedule requires that I have a car so I paid out of pocket for a rental car until 03-07-11, expecting the payment to be issued to my lien holder by then so I could purchase another car. I contacted them on 03-07-11 inquiring about my payment and was informed they did not pick the vehicle up from the collision shop therefore they were not issuing a payment. The collision shop gave them a bill of 1750.00 for the repairs they did and the storage fees. The insurance company disagrees with this and refuses to pick the vehicle up and issue my payment. They have also stated this may come out of my settlement offer. The insurance company already has the title to the car and all the necessary paperwork to the vehicle but refuses to issue a payment. It has been a month since I filed my claim and I can no longer afford to pay for a rental especially since it seems I will have to purchase a new vehicle. The insurance company is low balling me and also forcing me to pay for repairs they approved then backed out of.""

Why won't my mom get me insurance?

I am a 17 year old and am getting a car in the summer because my brother is getting a new one and will hand me down his old one. Anyways, I dont want to wait until summer to drive since ill be 18 in 2 months and will be valid to get my license. So i am going to buy my own car off of craigslist for cheap like 700$ so i started to save up already with my own money..im not even going to ask my parents for money because i will save up with MY own money like from getting tips in cosmetology school. But even though im getting my own car my mother is refusing to get me insurance on the car or get the stickers or liscene plate or anything. Dont i get any credit for buying the car on my own? I would pay for my own insurance if i could.. i feel like its not fair every time i talk to my mom about it she just shuts me down saying youll drive in summer but im a senior in highschool i dont want to take the bus i want to drive like everyone else :(""

Cost of Cancelling multiple 6-month car insurance policies in US?

I am 18 years old, male, clean driving record, good student, going to college. I will only be going home for occasional weekends, and vacations, and I would like to be insured so I can drive my car (saturn 2000 sl) around. I don't want to pay for the high cost of permanent car insurance, but want to be insured when I need it. I looked up ways to get temporary (short term) car insurance and I basically found that if you are under 21, you cannot pay daily or weekly. I also found that US insurance companies generally offer policies that are at least 6 months. Since I want tthen you can only get 6month or 1 year policies. They suggest getting the 6 month policy and paying monthly, and then simply canceling the policy once I am done with it. Therefore if I did this, I would be buying and canceling many policies every year. I would maybe do this a few weekends every semester and also winter, spring, and summer break. So basically I want to save money by foregoing yearly car insurance, but instead would like to do what I stated above. The big question is: IS IT WORTH IT? Ordering, and then cancelling up to six to eight 6-month policies, each paying for the first monthly payment. Note: I currently have MetLife. Thanks!!""

""I have a question about an accident, insurance, an estimate and payment?""

Hello. I recently got rear-ended and had an estimate done for $1800 dollars and somebody told me they would never give me that much for my car. I looked up the Kelley Blue Book and a private party price would be about $750 and that's how much they would give me and THEY take the car. Is this right? I might do it $750 and I keep the car! I put a new clutch in it, new front brake system, new exhaust, I love the car, so it's worth much more to me.....I'm just wondering what the law is on it and what I might be able to do to maximize my payout. If I'm unhappy with their offer can I take them to small claims and win? I just can't believe that I was just sitting at a stoplight and BOOM my car's wrecked and since I'm poor I can't get it fixed ya know? Thank you for your time......""

Will my insurance still go down if I have a really cheap car for my first year then a more expensive one after?

When my sister first got her car she crashed. I don't want to buy a new car and have that happen to me because it will cost a lot to have it repaired so I have decided to get a car for no more than 600 for the first couple of months, hopefully a year if it will last that long. I'd like a fiat 500 after that year and because I want to personalise it I would have to buy it from the showroom and it's 14,000 :-|. The money isn't the problem because I've been saving for ages to get this car but I am worried about the insurance on it. If I get a car for 600 first (it will be my first car), and have no accidents for a year and get a more expensive car (the fiat 500), will my insurance on that car still be high? I will be 18 when I get the cheap car and 19 when I get the fiat and Im a girl, if that helps.""

Allstate insurance in NY- Question

How can the citizens pay the the deductibles for the only health insurance policies that are affordable?

I work 2 part time jobs and neither offer health insurance, so in 2014 I will have to buy some. One comparable to the one I had when I worked a full time job would cost $600 a month but would cover prescriptions with a $20 copay for generics with a $1500 deductible and a $4500 out of pocket maximum. That is out of what I can afford. The one I can afford is only $219 a month but has a $7500 deductible which would have to be met for any benefits and there is a $12,500 out of pocket maximum. If I got very sick I would be wiped out with that one, so it seems that I am in a Catch 22. I don't make that much money ($8 and $10 for the 2 jobs where I work 24 and 18 hours a week respectively.) Now I just pay the doctor out of pocket and I paid $375 this year for office visits and $150 for medicine. That was affordable and now I am forced to pay a premium in addition to the same amounts I paid for the same service. This thing is making me nervous. Affordable to me is no insurance. Give me a cyanide pill if I get a terminal diagnosis because being in the hospital and wiped out financially is not a good quality of life.""

If I had this non fault accident would my car insurance still gone up?

Okay a week ago I was about to have an accident I passed a railroad track when no train was comming and the bars were up as well so I passed the railroad and I made a turn so this had a stop sign at a corner and didn't make a complete stop so I was passing since I didn't have a stop sign or yield sign and this guy just stepped on the gas and went into the wrong way and then he tried to jump into the way that I was going and I was about to hit him because there wasn't enough space for him to change lanes safely. And so I remember that the day that my dad went to get insurance for his car they told him that they had a record of the accident that he had back in 1991 which wasn't his fault.

Term insurance or whole life insurance?

I want to get life insurance, but I am not sure whhich type of insurance I should get. I have done lots of research and majority of the research tells me to get term life insurance, but I am still confused to why. Here is a little about me: 30 years old, married, and have a baby. Non-smoker, and overall healthy, minus some arthritis. My first thought is to get whole life insurance because it definitely covers my family if I pass away when I am a lot older. However, I then hear that whole life is not a great investment - too expensive and lot of cost/fees involved, you don't really know how much of your premiums are going into your insurance and how much is going into the savings where the company invest the money. After hearing that, I think well term isn't so bad then. I get a lower premium for the same amount of life insurance. But then, I know term insurance only last a limited time. I see 30 years usually being the longest term life insurance. Well 30 years from now (considering nothing happens to me in the next 30 years), I will only be 60. That is still pretty young and then I wil have to renew my term insurance, but at 60, my premium will be a lot more than it would be right now. SO as you can see, I am at a lost and have no clue what to do. I would like some opinions, feedback, suggestions, etc, that would be much appreciated. (side note- when explaining which insurance is better, please explain in simple terms. I posted awhile back and I had some responses with very advanced insurance explanations that confused me! lol). ;) Oh, I do have life insurance with my company, but it's not much and I don't see mysefl staying with this company, so I prefer getting my own private life insurance.""

Allen’s Anime Update

Well, since my Rambling on Person 5 I’ve gotten a few new follows. So, hello new followers! I’m Allen X and this is my blog where I talk about... whatever I feel like. I mostly do three things on this blog, write essays on whatever topic I feel is important at that moment called Allen’s Ramblings, and do (sort of) monthly post discussing whatever video games I’m playing and anime I’m watching and my opinions on them called the Video Game Update and Anime Update respectively. I tag the video game posts with the fandom tags for the sake of getting advice or opinions about the game. I don’t tag the Anime Update since... talking about anime on tumblr can lead to a lynching in certain fandoms, and I don’t need to get trolling from the anime community. 

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy my blog. 

So, with my to-do list (mostly) complete, it’s time for me to work on the anime update. Sadly, I can’t record it since I have family visiting and the house for Memorial Day weekend and things gets... loud to say the least with all these folks here. But anyway, update time. But before I go onto current anime, let’s talk about some shows I’ve been meaning to talk about for awhile now.

I cannot believe I forgot to mention this series in the last anime update. So, last month I finished watching the first season of Ninja Girl and Samurai Master on crunchyrool. It’s another retelling of the Warring States period in Japan (basically Samurai Warriors time). There’s been a handful of anime that have done this, but what makes this show different from the others is that it stars a cute ninja girl named Chidori, who’s an airhead, a ditz, and an absolute monster on the battlefield. Most of the show focuses on her adventures as a ninja under Nobunaga and her trying to earn the respect of his generals despite being a young girl. It’s very lighthearted and comedic. Chidori is absolute adorable and the supporting cast has been great in showing off her airhead tendencies as well as their own. And I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite portrayals of Nobunaga yet, making him out as the only sane man among his wacky and scatterbrained generals. It’s only four minutes per episode, so I’d recommend giving it a look if you have the time. You’ll be hook on Chidori’s cuteness after episode 1, I can promise you that. And while I’m talking about alternate interpretations of Nobunaga...

Yes, I finally finished watching Sengoku Collection and good lord this series is good. Right off the bat I recommend you guys watch Episode 1, 17, 18, and 21. Episode 1 so you get the context, episode 17 and 18 because they’re the best stand-alone episodes to watch out of all the series, and episode 21 because of how random it is. This show has been a bit of an emotional ride for me. Episodes 17 and 18 nearly had me in tears, and the last episode was just so heartwarming. I don’t even have a favorite character, they were all so good... okay, leaning toward Nobunaga and Keiji, it’s still a tough choice. 

Anyway, this is an older show on Crunchyroll, so I recommend giving it a look, or at least watching the episodes I recommended. You don’t have to worry about having membership or anything to keep up with it.

And with that, I’m done with talking about past shows, onto the update for real now.

I’m so glad I decided to get Anime Strike for this show. Armed Girl’s Machiavellism has definitely been worth the fifteen bucks it’ll cost me to watch this show. Like I said in the last update, this show has great action, great comedy, a great cast, it’s just.. great.... but I should probably go into detail. The fact that every episode has had a decent fight sequence has already sold me. I also like how everyone’s fighting style is different. Nomura uses hand-to-hand martial arts. Rin uses traditional samurai swordplay, Mary uses fencing, Satori uses a mishmash of styles to keep opponents guessing, Wabari uses her pet bear and ninja tools along with her swordplay, and Inaba... I dunno yet, probably Iai based on the opening. I also like the fact that Nomura is still mostly gunning for Rin in terms of affection. Mary is head-over-heels for him too, but he’s mostly going for Rin, something I appreciate.

Something else I should mention is just how good the pacing of this show it. It hasn’t felt like it’s slow down at all. It’s a bit formulaic in structure, but that’s fine. Most of the show has been one episode to show off the new girl, and one episode to defeat them before moving on to the next girl. It’s only recently broken than order with a bit of a cooldown episode, but things look to be picking up in the next one.

For those of you with Anime Strike I recommend giving this one a shot.

It took almost six episodes, but the slow burn that was Re:Creators is just about over. God, this took way too long. I’m not against slow pacing or long times of build-up for a high payoff, but 6 episodes of politics, discussions, and set-up was pushing it. I didn’t mind the politics, I didn’t mind the discussions about art and creation and encouragement to write/draw, but dammit I came here to watch magical girls battle mechas and LN protagonist duel video game bosses, not... 6 episodes of talking. It really says something when the Battle Harem has better pacing than what people are saying is a contender for 2017′s anime of the year. 

As of now I can’t say if the payoff is worth it, but I won’t knock it... yet. I’m hoping for something big, and with the latest episode, something big is bound to happen... or it’s more talking and I become sad.

And... I’m taking a break from Twin Angels Break for awhile. It’s... a monster-of-the-week show, and for those new to my Update, I personally prefer to marathon shows like that since they tend to get very predictable and unpleasant for me to keep up with weekly. Not to say the show isn’t look good, it is, but... this style of narrative is just something I can’t watch weekly. That and episode 4 was just... touching topics and subjects I didn’t feel comfortable watching. I’m not going to go into detail for fear of me reading things wrong, but... I was not impressed by what they were showing and I’ll leave it at that.

So yeah, taking a break from this, watching something else until I can marathon it. So with that said...

It looks like someone heard that I loved watching cute girls that beat the shit out of people with martial arts. So, Crunchyroll has Kenka Bancho Otome -Girl Beats Boys-, a show about Hinako Nakayama, an orphan and martial arts master that joins an all-boy school of delinquents and pretty boys at the behest of her long-lost twin brother, Hikaru Onigashima. There she must defeat all the leaders of each delinquent gang, learn their backstories, win their hearts, and take on the king of the school, her older brother Houou Onigashima. Yeah, this is an anime based off an otome game, but it’s got a cute girl beating up people, so I’m down with it. Hinako is a pretty tough girl despite how cute she acts. And it looks like every character also has a specific fighting style as well. It’s interesting how good all these Batte Harems are this year. 

These are only about 8 minutes per episode, so it’s not too taxing on me time-wise. I recommend this one so far if you like male harems or cute girls punching people.  

Lastly, we have Sword Oratoria, a spin-off/retelling of the Danmachi series from the perspective of Ais Wallenstein, the OP Sword Princess. I’d go into more detail about the premise, but I don’t really feel like discuss the backstory of Danmachi, just know that medieval times and video game mechanics combine in this world, and everything’ll start piecing together after that. I was interested in this anime at first to learn a bit more about Ais since she was such a mysterious figure in the original Danmachi series. I had three main questions: Why is Ais interested in Bell? What is her role and relation to her familia? And how exactly did she get as strong as she is now? So far this anime hasn’t been answering any of those questions, but I hear the actual light novel does... I’m tempted to get it, but I only plan on getting Magical Girl Raising Project in terms of light novels. 

It’s a good show so far in terms of action and a few plots developing, but... it’s more of what Bell didn’t see rather than what Ais saw, and that annoys me a little.

And that’s it for the update, I know I was hyping up how there’d be another anime I’d catch up with in my queues, but this is already getting long enough. I’ll just talk about those anime as time goes on. Anyway, see you guys later. Feel free to message and ask me about things.
