I'm already really curious about the system update au, but there is a time prision? That sounds really cool

There is a time prison, yes! It's currently almost midnight where I am so I'll elaborate later but (and I'll put the rest of this under a read more on the off chance someone doesn't want to know)

Aira is not the one experiencing the time loop. Nope, that honor goes to Hiiro and Crazy:B, and it's also all Rinne's fault lol. What do you think would happen if a man with the power to obtain any magic by random chance just so happened to land on time travel at the very last moment?

Can't believe we live in a world where erotica writers are helping people survive a genocide while world leaders are either capitalising on this (glares at Egypt) or just ignoring.

I can't donate actual money so I'm using the windows reward program to donate points that get converted to money 😭 this is so dystopian 😵

SAME. "dystopian" really is the only word I can use to describe it. world leaders aren't only capitalizing on it or ignoring it but so many governments are designed to force people to perpetuate it (US/UK/Canada etc). in my country you cannot get tax refunds (e.g. redirect government tax dollars) on any charities directly associated with palestine, but they will refund you on donations toward organizations that develop Israeli settlements on stolen land in the west bank. governments are literally disincentivizing donations that will help people in a genocide but here we are on tumblr dot com trying to raise money with our 2d man romance stories lol. literal insanity but you gotta do what you gotta do, every dollar helps. good on you for finding a way to donate despite not having money on hand - you are doing more than a lot of people with much more wealth.

and now for a post this blog was made for (take this as free trial of what to expect down the line. fair warning; not to scale)

If I had a nickel for every time a protagonist had to choose between a sword and a guitar, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

the first (and tbf only) two that come to mind are Manolo from the book of life and Kubo from Kubo and the two strings

quick background: manolo had to fight a giant toro (all the bulls his bullfighter family killed ever, and kubo had to defeat his grandfather the moon king in his final form. also he uses a shamisen not a guitar. but it fits the category so theres that)

and its such a beautiful and strange concept; to be presented with the choice of peace via music, or violence (so to speak) by the sword, and it works. the apology song moved me to tears the first time i heard it and kubo's words are truly beautiful and ones i wont forget.

i think its what the music relays rather than the instrument that brings about a change of heart or leads the hero to victory; their empathy and humanity. family is a prominent theme too, one of love and guidance and ocassionally a source of greivance lol.

i havent watched either films in quite a while (BoL 10 years ago oof) but both songs/ pieces speak so much truth they are able to do what the sword could never achieve. and now for a segment i like to call from where i stand, where i get to link fiction with my life and experiences to provide insight from, say it with me now, where i stand: as an aspiring psychiatrist in a part of the world where mental health is still finding its footing in the public eye and sadly among other healthcare students, its hurts to see how little we listen to each other, compounded by how simple and effective just basic human connection is in somehwat alleviating (albeit temporarily) whatever it is someone is going through. empathy my dudes. it goes a long way.

manolo appologises for the centuries of grief his family profession has inflicted on the bulls, and extends a warm hand of understanding and sincerity, while kubo uses the power of memories and love to prove to his grandfather that so long as he has his eye, an eye capable of seeing (and by extension a heart capable of loving and a soul capable of feeling), he will live and prosper. their humanity prevails and brings peace.

final word: to quote Jonathan Decker from a CT episode i cant remember lol: "Kindness won't always change someone, but it shows them you won't be changed." and i think its an important gap to mind, in the sense that the magic of music or whatever wont fix our real life probelms, like a failing relationship, but kindness and empathy and humanity are all necessary for healing and growth. and that, i believe is the message behind the trope. a good day to you all.

Diamant regards Zelkov with a somewhat wary eye, still quite confused about their last encounter. But as a fellow comrade in the Divine Dragon's Army, it would be rude if he were to leave without at least greeting the other man.

And if he hoped to restore Brodia's relations with Elusia, he must set the example with its people, first and foremost.

"Zelkov!" His voice booms above the chatter of the ballroom, lightning-marked hand raised in a wave. "Good to see you. You've been faring well, I hope?"

"King Diamant." Zelkov gave him a slight bow, aware he may still have a spare fragment of a dinner plate or small bloodstain still on him from his skirmish with Griss whether he wanted it or not. However, he was glad to see a friendly face, hand offered for a handshake once he was certain his palm was shrapnel-free.

As he shook Diamant's hand, it occurred to him that Diamant had been spending a remarkable amount of time with his own Queen Ivy. It would be remiss as her retainer to not make a casual, polite inquiry.

"How fare your *negotiations* with Queen Ivy?"

He did not, exactly, think through what stressing that particular word could imply in the context of a romantic event. So Zelkov asked blissfully, innocently unaware.
