Oh fuck it’s been two weeks already uuuhh Chapter 148 expert review time!!

Sorry for skipping out on chapter 147. I was too busy doing nothing.

First off: oh my god it’s normal Garou my sweet boy I haven’t seen you in ages—

Also a lot of people have been pointing out the height difference in this pic, and I was gonna say that could be attributed to Bang always being hunched over but he’s definitely not hunched over here!! Fucking manlet! Little bitchboy! Googoo gaga bitch! Gonna get his ass beat by an 18 year-old prick while also being short. Pick a struggle, Bang.

Ngl I thought Garou’s irises were tears for a second and I got all up in my shit about it but turns out he’s just cooked out of his fucking mind. I mean, his brain is medium rare at this point. What the fuck is up with him. Why is he standing like that. Why are his feet so skinny??? He’s standing on pogo sticks??

I thought Garou and Bang’s little dumpster scuffle was pretty cool. Murata’s fights are always really well choreographed and his posing is amazing. Only issue is I kinda thought their inevitable beat-down would be a little more climactic? The story thus far has been pretty plateaued and we haven’t really had a proper buildup towards this moment, I think. It’s just been one fight after another, and so far this feels no different. But, I could be getting too far ahead here. The fight’s just begun, maybe something will happen that’ll shift my opinion. But so far… yeah this seems like just another segment of punches being thrown.

I will say though, I do like Garou’s obvious improvement in this rematch with Bang. It was kind of expected since he’s gone through a lot since the Hero Hunter arc, but seeing him actually land a solid hit on the old fuck was really satisfying. He’s grown! He’s gotten stronger! Good for him! He’s still going to hell for nearly killing Mumen, though. But good for him!

Garou’s nonverbal-ness throughout this fight does bring mixed feelings in me, though. I was kinda looking forward to he and Bang’s banter; like maybe they’ll reveal things about Garou’s past that we didn’t know about or something. A few people have brought up that it could be because Garou’s asleep in this fight like he was with PPP and Darkshine, and if that’s the case then I’m a little disappointed. This confrontation was long overdue, and if Garou’s not even lucid throughout it then that could be a lot of character growth being missed out on. But like I said, it’s still early on. Maybe things will change.

I’m thinking impure thoughts.

Man what the FUCK is this.

Also, what he says here kinda stung at first. Like, wow, Garou is more teachable when he’s literally a monster that just makes animal noises and doesn’t have any signs of even being lucid?? Made me a little nervous about how Silverfang treated Garou in the past, since he’s kind of treating him as just a vessel of strength right now, not as something that was once human, much less his beloved disciple. I know Silverfang is objectively Not a good teacher or caregiver but I wasn’t expecting him to just disregard Garou like that.

I talked with Kiyoko about it and turns out it’s a bit of a translation error. Silverfang does say that, but it’s with no regards towards younger Garou and more towards how present Garou is a lot more receptive to picking up techniques. So, it’s more just banter and not a “I’m disgracing all the years I’ve taken you under my wing” sorta thing. I’m happy about that. One of the more compelling things about their relationship is the lingering guilt and love Bang still holds for Garou.

EDIT:

Also I just love the “you twisted punk” line. A lot of the dialogue in the manga is a little eeeehhh sometimes (not at the fault of anybody, by the way. Translations just be like that) but that line just feels so human. Very boomer, very witty, very funny.

So, Amahare and Nichirin are both dead but hey we got a funky lil’ sword and side quest out of it.

Portal magic, motherfuckers. I thought the use of his necklace for this was really clever.

I’ve said before how I thought the manga was overloaded with deadly situations and yet lacking death, but boy has Murata turned all that shit around. Granted, I still think the heroes have too much plot armor but this is a nice change of pace. Now we got actual blood being shed. Yay.

We had some reveals here, which I thought were cool. Apparently Nichirin was Kamikaze’s teacher, which gives me some feelings. Nichirin was also Spring Mustachio’s teacher, but Spring Mustachio is nowhere near Kamikaze’s level yet. So, Nichirin died before he could see Spring Mustachio become a master, and Spring Mustachio watched his master die without having completed his training. That shit’s fucked! The council of swordsmasters is disbanded, so who the fuck is he gonna have as a teacher now? Is he gonna go under Kamikaze’s wing? Because clearly, we haven’t seen all of that fucker (and his disciples) yet. Now we got a fucking side quest for some gay little sword or something.

This makes me… kinda excited for Kamikaze’s arc? Like, holy shit we might actually get a decent chunk of the story told around him (and maybe Spring Mustachio if Murata doesn’t forget about him because I certainly did). Idk if this is the best place for this massive lore drop but yay now Kamikaze has a working sword and a life mission to go on once we get up to speed with the webcomic. Also RIP Nichirin, your character was just used for plot progression lmao sucks to suck.

Golden Sperm looks like the shit I took today. I knew this was coming from the webcomic but nothing could’ve prepared me for the actual cyst this dude is.

Also, his gay little mask or whatever is literally just a face copy of serious Saitama lol. I fucking hate this bitch I want to stick him in some soup broth and whack him against a brick wall until he no longer making a schlorping noise. Anyways.

In conclusion, still stan Bomb because he’s trying his fucking best, even after getting his shit rocked by an 18 year-old edgelord lmao. Also, he didn’t rip his shirt off pre-fight like a fuckboy.

Stuffed Animals MC-Minor Trio

Well it’s been about an hour, let’s do this Minor Trio Stuffed animal HC!!! Haha! Plz tell me you like my stuff. ;_;

V

He couldn’t see them, so you didn’t think that it’d be a problem, you just had to make sure that he never found out my accidentally grabbing one or some such thing

It worked out pretty well actually, well, until he had the surgery

Yeah apparently there are downsides to giving your boyfriend sight!

Whowould’vethought!

Either way you weren’t used to the fact that you now had to be careful.

You hid the plushies in your closet, praying that he would never think to look there for anything

Sleeping now as a hassle, you kept a stuffed dog under the bed so when he finally closed his eyes you could cuddle the damn thing.

You got used to it eventually, though it was annoying and half the time you thought of telling him

Of course, like a moron you always backpedaled like CRAZY

Things were going well, that is until you got careless

You guys had gone on a vacation to a nice beach spot, and you were a mess making sure that V was going to have the best vacation of all time oh my goddddd!!

You had been so busy making sure he didn’t forget everything that you forgot some of your own stuff, like your stuffed dog

You didn’t realize it until it was nighttime and time to sleep

“Um, V, I left something at home…”

“What is it darling?”

Oh God you wanted to die.

“…Well, it’s, it’s this stuffed dog I have, I can’t sleep without at least one stuffed animal, and, well I forgot to bring one.” By this time, you were jacked up on panic-caused adrenaline, so you didn’t think about telling him more than the embarrassment.

“Oh, I didn’t realize that MC, I never saw you with one, if I’d known I would’ve brought one, I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry, I never told you, I thought you would’ve thought me too, too childish for you.” By now you were beginning to grasp the situation more, which unfortunately made things worse and worse.

You could feel hot tears sliding down your face, practically steaming with embarrassment, and the worse part was that Jihyun could now see it.

You were looking into your palms, so all you could hear was the rustle of fabric when suddenly you were lifted off the ground by a set of strong arms.

Opening your palms, you saw Jihyun gazing at you.

“Don’t cry my love. I don’t and will never think you’re too childish. You radiate sunlight and youth. I promise tomorrow I will get you something, but for now I will make one!”

Saywhat

Honestly Jihyun is too good for this world.

He ended up lumping a bunch of his shirts together and tying them with a bow

But to his surprised during the night instead of holding it you latched on tightly to his nightshirt

It was a very cuddly night tbh lol

Now you alternate between bear stuffed animal and human stuffed animal

V loves that you trust him that much

And you love him too!

Saeran

Let’s be honest Saeran is shit at noticing this

You’d practically have to slap him with a beanie before he’d noticed

You didn’t really bother to hide it, at least the fact that you had them

When he asked why you just shrugged.

“Because I like stuffed animals, since I was never allowed a real pet why not a cuddly soft one?”

TouchéMC

But though you didn’t mind him knowing you had them you did mind the fact that you slept with them

You two didn’t sleep in the same bed normally, you knew that there was too much and it would take a while before anything like that happened

Your beds were nevertheless in the same room (in case of nightmares, which went either way depending on the night) and you made sure that he never saw the three stuffed animals that you held tight every night

Unfortunately, fate didn’t like that idea

You were having a nightmare one night, one about blank-faced people experimenting on you, and in your panic, you’d thrown all the stuffed animals off the bed

Saeran had heard the rustling of sheets, as well as the small shrieks and whimpers, and had promptly shaken you awake

When you finally woke you’d promptly started crying, and he rocked you back and forth for a bit

“W-where are my stuffed animals,” was the first thing you whispered, a secret you’d kept, “I-I can’t fall asleep without them, I’-I’ll just see the walls again, the office, the cell, the drugs.” You began another fit of heaving sobs and Saeran’s heart tightened in his chest.

He reached over and picked them up off the floor, while still holding you (badass)

Giving them back to you, you held onto them for dear life, and Saeran felt his eyes grow hot and knew he was also going to cry.

“Oh MC, I’m so sorry.” He whispered into your hair as he rocked you back and forth

You just shook your head.

“Don’t be sorry, please, don’t feel bad. I, I love you too much.” You whispered back, causing a small sob to escape Saeran’s mouth.

The next day you guys didn’t say anything, but you knew something was different

And that night as you climbed into bed Saeran asked you something.

“Is it, is it okay if I sleep with you. Just for tonight.” He added on quickly.

You smiled a smile that lit up the Earth and nodded

It was an incredibly peaceful night

Vanderwood

They’re an overdramatic shit, so if you’d told them you knew there’d be a problem on your hands

So, you instead voted not to

It worked pretty well, at least for a little while

You guys didn’t really sleep at each-other’s houses that much anyway, and it was usually at your house, so you could easily sneak a plushies under the covers on your side

That is until thunderstorm mania set in

So many thunderstorms! Just one right after the other! You swore, you were going to die and stab mother nature!

So, yeah, you obviously weren’t going to sleep without at least a plushie

And Vanderwood knew you hated thunderstorms, so they opted to stay at your house for the night until Gaia got her shit together

SorryGaiadon’tkillmeplz

It was awesome that they cared about you in that way, but unfortunately that required you telling him

“Um, Vanderwood.”

“Yes MC?”

“I, should tell you. I can’t sleep without a stuffed animal, I, I just won’t sleep, I’m sorry, I hope you don’t think it’s weird, I hope you don’t mind.” Your heart was practically palpitating as you waited for his reaction

“That’s okay MC, whatever makes you happy and comfortable.”

You were shook

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

You hugged them so tightly they practically fell over

It was a touching moment

Okay, so I got three things out of this. One, I like writing Saeran too much; two I tend to torture him also lol, and three I write waaay too much lol. Sorry if I didn’t write that much Vanderwood. It’s late and I’m SUPER tired, but I really wanted to finish this HC. Hope you like and love you all!

Still so happy to be writing again eeeehhh!

Can you tell I was listening to emotional GoT music lol?

Requests are closed, the waiting line is 21 posts and I just can’t lol. Sorry, I will open them soon<3 <3 <3
