Episode 9
Rei is doing the positive version of "Living through your children." Which I believe is normally called "Being supportive of their interests?"
Essentially, making up for things or experiences you didn't or couldn't have as a child, and making sure your kids are treated better.
Rei was clearly raised to be as quiet as possible and to take up the least amount of space as possible. It's clear that he himself doesn't mind noisy or bright people, even to his own surprise as demonstrated with both Kazuki and Miri.
The thing is Miri is loud. She's 4, that's actually very normal. But, not only does he passively accept their loudness, he tries to match it here. It's such a big step for him, it can't be easy for him, but he wants to help so so badly. It can't have been easy for him to raise his voice like that, but he did it.
He loves Miri so much it's amazing. Even his advice on running and the science behind it shows that he supports her and is trying to help even though it make look like he's doesn't care.

My son won his first one on one game! I am so proud of him!
Tumblr media
LOL Baozi's game was over in like 2 minutes. This is all going too well considering Ye Xiu isn't there. I am worried about Tang Rou
Tumblr media
This is legit what I'm like during the game segments which is why I always forget to liveblog
Tumblr media
I think they need to stop listening to Wei Chen's advice. I am tickled that esports apparently has a yellow card/red card system like football (soccer for the Amercians) does
Tumblr media
Okay, this is bullshit. They pulled Ye Xiu right before a game. They know time is critical. But they've just left him waiting in a room. Like if you think his ID is fake you pull him, verify it, and send him back. Surely it doesn't take this long?
Tumblr media
Why the fuck have they sent this guy to tell him? He has nothing to do with Ye Xiu or his team.
Tumblr media
Oh what the fuck! Right, I'm confused about what caused this. Is it because he was using his brother's ID when he was playing for Excellent Era?
Tumblr media
Uh...what relationship? Also I'm pretty sure you're the one who got him banned and I don't see how it gets worse than that
Tumblr media
So Ye Xiu is banned and if Tang Rou loses she's going to retire. EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE
Tumblr media
Yep there we go. She lost in the first round. Can't have the only woman on the team being too cocky
Tumblr media
Wait, what? Is she even on the team? I don't remember ever seeing her playing or training with them. What is happening?
Tumblr media
I was half-hoping she was going to be unexpectedly awesome but nope she got killed immediately. Why DIDN'T they send Wu Chen?
Tumblr media
Oh that's right! I forgot Wei Chen thinks Wu Chen betrayed them. That's why he sent Chen Guo as their launcher instead of him. Still bloody stupid though. Even if he lost on purpose he'd have been better than her.
Tumblr media
Yes, drinking several days ago was definitely the reason they did so badly and not all the other stuff
Tumblr media
God, is he still there?

OH yeah so in sukis rookie season when he's 21, his older sister Saki is 27 (though she still lives at home with his parents) and his younger brother Hikaru is 17. Saki, as mentioned, is a rave DJ and a fashion designer, who works making her artisan and handmade designs out of the studio in their home in Corpus Christi, TX. She and Suki are pretty close, since they're actually pretty similar people, although Suki gets worried about her lifestyle since she does tend to go a little overboard with the partying. She's also a furry who honed a lot of the skills she uses for her business doing fursuit commissions in her teen years. Their father was extremely disapproving of this, until he saw how much money she was making, at which point he became her biggest cheerleader, championing her business mindset. He is encouraging her to find a house, though she's not sure where she wants to live.
Hikaru is 17, and kind of terrible at school, though he has one major talent – esports. He's a twitch streamer, and has been making strides in his field of Valorant streaming. He got the majority of his following from minecraft speedrunning and bedwars, but moved into valo since he got hyperfixated. He's faceless online, and, as mentioned, looks exactly like your average 2020 tiktok alt kid, floppy hair and all. He likes the floppy hair because it lets him experiment with makeup without his dad insisting he take it off. His parents don't understand how he can possibly make a living off the Internet, and his mother is insistent he does something else with his life. Suki thinks its a little cringe, but he's willing to encourage him. Hikaru also has autism, and a flat accent monotone voice that's become famous online for voicing random memes.
OOOOOOOH I LOVE HEARING ABOUT SUKI AND HIS FAMILY OH MY THEY ALL ARE SO COOL.

Heya^^
I have some ask about Hiael for the MC & OC ask game!
General Info 01 Do they have a nickname?
General Info 09 Do they attend RAD? What is their role there? Their best subject/the one they teach? Club activties? If they don't attend RAD, what do they do?
Concept and Design 03 What is the biggest change you have made from their original concept?
Concept and Design 08 Anything you heavily associate with them? A color, a word, a picture, or something else?
Thank you so much for the ask game! It takes time to answer each question, but it's extremely fun!
_General Info 01
Do they have a nickname?
Yes, he has! In fact, her name came from a nickname her mother had given to a friend of hers, Hae (which in Hangul means “the girl who is like the ocean” – but there are variations that say it means “Sun”, one day I will find out if it's true), but since Hae is a girl's name, she put an L at the end and turned it into Hael. It can also (according to Google) mean “who is like God” or “generous, generous, kind, liberal”. It wasn't planned, it was Raphael until Rahel (angel) appeared, and I got offended and took Rap out of the way, left Hael and invented a story :) So, you can call him Hael, Hae, or Nao (affectionately given by his younger brother)
_General Info 09
Do they attend RAD? What is their role there? Their best subject/the one they teach? Club activties? If they don't attend RAD, what do they do?
Eles estudam na RAD, atualmente são intercambistas (só era para ser por um ano, por que ele está aqui fazendo o 3º ano de intercambista? Ele não aguenta mais ir às aulas…) e membro do grupo estudantil grupo do conselho. Após as aulas ou em dias livres como sábados, ele ministra aulas sobre o mundo humano (cultura, política, música, esportes, anatomia, biologia, saúde, filosofia e tecnologia) para quem tiver interesse.
It is not a professional, mandatory or daily class, but he wanted to teach something more about the human world from a more human perspective because he is dissatisfied with the classes taught by demon teachers trained in humanology.
Concept and Design 03
What is the biggest change you have made from their original concept?
Surprisingly, I had a good idea of ​​what they looked like for a long time. When I went to put it on paper, my biggest problem was the color of their hair. At the time, I still drew traditionally, so when I finally switched to digital, a lot of things changed, including the hair color. It was black, it went to light brown, it went to dark brown, it went to gray, it went to red, and back to black, but I still want to change the color too. If you ask me, I just say he likes to dye his hair.
I was going to post a drawing of him too, but Ibis Paint did the favor of deleting my drawing (which was almost ready). I'm suffering from this again, maybe I'll post it this week if I can find time to draw.
Concept and Design 08
Anything you heavily associate with them? A color, a word, a picture, or something else?
Peaches, strawberries and stars. I just imagine this being his vibe on different days, despite his face, Hael is actually someone very sensitive.

Was not tagged, but Nameless left the invite open, so...
1. were you named after anyone?
yes, my legal name is technically a biblical name (mega cringe) though it only appears once in the whole book. (name would be Ethan, btw) My preferred name, Galli, comes from my legacy days in Sea of Thieves, when I would solo on a galleon. People called me Galli and I loved the name so much I kept it all these years.
2. when was the last time you cried?
My grandfather, one of my greatest allies and friends, died two days ago. I miss him a lot...
3. do you have kids?
Brother, I'm only going to be 19 this year, I hope I dont have kids.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Irl, almost every other sentence. Online, tone can be a bit harder to decipher, and I never got into using tone indicators. If I'm gonna specify I'm being sarcastic, isn't that like explaining a joke to someone. Might as well be dead serious/funny.
5. First thing you notice about people.
Usually eyes or body language (tense, relaxed, etc). I'm small and light, so I always read body language in case someone wants to start some shit with me.
6 eye color?
green-gray / blue-grey, kinda depends on the lighting. I've heard both used to describe me.
7. scary movies or happy endings?
I get massive second-hand anxiety from the smallest things, so I prefer happy endings. If only realistic endings were an option...
8. special talents.
Very advanced reading speed and vocabulary (i was the kid reading entire textbooks out of boredom), proficient writer, and invisibility/stealth, because people rarely ever notice me, even professors and my family.
9. where were you born?
San Diego, California is what's on the birth certificate. I call Munich, Germany my other birthplace though, since my parents had just immigrated from there right before i was born. So legally its only San Diego, but mentally, both ;3
10. hobbies.
I do writing, coding, play guitar/drums, some art (I suck), and local esports. Also hiking, when possible. The American South has very few worthy mountains, unlike Cali.
11. pets?
yep, I myself have a dog, but my aunt who lives in our house has 2 dogs of her own I help care for. (left is one of my aunt's dogs [they're twins so both look the same], right is my big lovable chocolate lab-pit mix.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12. sports?
I play golf. thats about it. Most other sports could get me trampled like the runt I am. :|
13. How tall are you?
5'4-5'5... hmph.... as a bonus, since i mentioned it before, also weigh 102 lbs. Some of my buddies use me as a exercise weight (once a battering ram. ow) plz dont call me smol like others do.
14. fav subject in school?
Computer Science. The teacher was a retired soldier and gave 0 fucks as long as you didnt bother him. 3 highschool years of playing games and watching youtube in that class.
15. dream job?
Cybersecurity Manager. hence 3 years of Computer Science classes. Got most of the certifications too. Maybe one day... Author is a close second though.. if you couldnt tell from previous answers. :>
ill tag @disconekt13ff @the-vamp-ram @your-favorite-closeted-bi @amingethia and @not-ur-goth-girlfriend. I cant remember any more people off the top of my head. Anyone else seeing the post, feel free as well lol.
I take my leave now...
15 questions, 15 people
I feel like I might've done this before? I forgor
tagged by @asbealthgn

A Double Life
Chapter 2 
A self-indulgent Daniel Ricciardo fic.
Summary: Returning to old passions results in the start of chaos and living a double life. We say we hate chaos, but the thrill is unlike anything else.
Words: 2,236
Part 1 // Masterlist
Tumblr media
Formula 3 was incredible, one of, if not the best years of your little life so far. You got to visit so many cities that you hadn’t been to before and you met so many people. Especially with the tracks overlapping with F2 and F1, you could chat to, learn from and in some cases, build friendships with people in the leagues above. It did also help that Lewis would pop in to see you every now and again, check up on things and introduce you to those he thought might stand you in good sted. Either way, you felt as though you gained two new families that year; one in academia within your research group, and one within the world of racing.
Your confirmation paper was accepted, critiqued and praised, meaning you had done everything you needed to progress in your PhD. You were relieved at being able to produce something of worth whilst living both of your lives with full intensity.
All too soon the season ended and you had achieved more than anyone could have predicted. Like a duck to water – albeit a sleep deprived duck - you had successfully readjusted to racing, finishing a staggering 3rd in your rookie year. You were so proud. You’d been balancing the move into your second year in your doctoral programme with racing and you were starting to see the results of your pre-race training. That, combined with your work ethic and results from this season, you could move up into Formula 2, having signed a contract with ART Grand Prix in August.  
After the last 12 months, you felt as though you had mastered the required routine for balancing your ‘two lives’ as you call it. Coming into the long break between seasons you didn’t want to lose that balance, but also wanted to give yourself a break from the long days you were accustomed to. Who knows, maybe you could go for lunch with friends, after all you can be somewhat laxer on your diet now. A real social life sounded divine, yet somewhat terrifying.  
You figured you were afraid that if you loosened your grip on your routine, you’d struggle even more with your move to formula 2. Comparing the two championships, formula two had significantly more traveling involved, with tracks from the middle east being included. Where the season was eight rounds between May and September for Formula 3, Formula 2 had 12 rounds between March and December. Formula 2 would potentially interfere with more of your lab work and conferences you attended. Could you handle an increase in workload and training? Would it be easier if you maintained your somewhat unhealthly work schedule?
You were already a little more intense than some of the other F3 drivers, with regards to diet and training routines, you knew that, but Lewis had always pushed you to be better, work smarter. You don’t improve without pushing yourself, why limit that to just the track?  
With the season coming to an end, it meant that season one of the Stewart show, one of Lewis’ many nicknames for it, would be airing soon. The camera crew were your one link between life on and off track, they saw it all and now the world would be able to as well. You were excited to see people’s reactions, but also concerned about how things might change as a result. Would drivers take you less seriously? Would people from your lab watch it and view you differently?
You had been talking through these thoughts and worries with Lewis as you met for a ‘detox weekend’ in London at his flat. He wanted to celebrate your fantastic season and pray over the year ahead without any distractions and to give you a break from work. There was a movie playing in the background but you were far more interested in hearing about the team shuffles and how he thought the season was going to play out in F1. You wanted to know everything: who he thought would shine, who he thought might struggle and which teams he thought would step up. The resulting strategy discussions would help you in ways you couldn’t imagine as you moved up the leagues.  
Lewis always found ways to teach you something whenever you were together, but he also made a point of turning drivers' mode off and connecting with you on a personal level as well, even if he had been your mentor for over a year. Your friendship continued to blossom; you were more like family than friends now. You knew each other well enough to tease each other over the gossip surrounding them and could share secrets with one another and trust them to keep it. Lewis would tell you stories about his niece and nephew – who insisted on calling you auntie Rachel – that would have you snorting and clapping like a seal, or about stupid things he’d seen in town on a night out. You would share stories from the lab, who’d fucked up what experiment, which couples had emerged recently and what you had been working on. However, what Lewis loved to hear more than anything, purely so he could tease you, was any gossip from your love life, or more accurately, the lack of it. He would tease you about not following the other boys and dating someone from the circuit, someone’s brother or cousin, ‘get your flirt on’ he would always say.  
Tonight, Lewis was dragging you hard, saying he would set you up with one of the F1 lads if only you would admit which one you thought was the cutest. Anyone with a pair of eyes knew those boys were pretty jaw-dropping, I mean what else did anyone expect from a bunch of athletes. However, there wasn’t a hope in hell that you would admit to Lewis who you had a small celeb crush on, not that there was anyone. Definitely not.  
“Won’t be long until you’re up in F1 with me you know.” Lewis announced out of nowhere, seemingly dropping the topic of ‘hot F1 drivers’
“I’m sorry what?”  
“If you keep doing what you’re doing; working hard and getting these kinds of results, I see no reason why they wouldn’t find a seat for you in F1.”
“Oh.” You were shocked.  
Yes, you wanted to drive in F1, who didn’t, but you knew it was a hard task to get a seat and you didn’t have anywhere near as much experience as some of the other drivers in F2 who would be pushing to move up. “I’m not so sure,” you started, “as long as I’m alive, driving and challenging myself, I’m happy.”
“Sure but I’d love to have you in F1, race against my own little sister.” You could hear the sincerity in his voice.
“Cute, till I beat you, then you’ll just be sulking” You stuck your tongue out at him.
“Nah but for reals, it’ll make it super easier to tell which of the boys you’re crushing on.” He smirked back at you.
“Oh piss off.”
---
Lewis decided that once you had settled into the season a bit you should start coming to the media days as his guest to get a feel for things, still adamant that you would be up there soon. Obviously, you agreed, wanting as much experience as you could afford to get, regardless of where you ended up racing. Before you knew it, a permanent VIP pass had been organised, allowing you to go to any grand prix you wished.  
You loved watching the races, especially from the pits. It made your hunger to improve and move up stronger than it ever was. Well that, and it meant you could chat to some of the drivers you knew.  
Having met them last year, you occasionally played esports with Max Verstappen and Lando Norris and so knew them relatively well and so would always chat to them over race weekends. You were so thrilled to be back and settled into the new season that you couldn’t help but have a laugh when you were catching up with everyone. Media days were some of your favourites as everyone was usually in good spirits and this time, unbeknown to you, you were getting far more involved than ever before.
Whilst you were pally with a few of the drivers, you were yet to meet them all, and you were looking forward to meeting a certain jokester more than others. Once Lewis had figured this out, he had teased you relentlessly, it was all over for you. Unfortunately, he was only gorgeous until he opened his mouth.
“Here to scout the boys out?” Ricciardo had spotted you wandering around the paddock earlier and finally cornered you outside the Mercedes hub.
“Oh yeah, got to see who my competitions gonna be.” You teased back.
“The WAGs usually meet in the coffee parlour over there then.” Excuse me?
“Come again?”  
“The wives and girlfriends, your competition?”
You could only shake your head. Of course, he assumed that you in the team merch, guest of Lewis Hamilton, were here only with the aim of getting a boyfriend. Oh no, when you said you were scouting competition, you meant competition for a seat.
Almost on cue, Lewis came wandering around and started laughing at the sight of you.  
“Don’t lock your jaw sugarsnap” Lewis chuckled, using his nickname for you. The tension and irritation clear on your face. He knew exactly who had caused it given the group you were with. “Ricciardo what did you say?”
“Why me? And ‘sugarsnap’?” Ricciardo quizzed? “You already a WAG, doll?” He asked turning back to you
Your jaw tensed again; you couldn’t really blame him for not knowing you but the assumptions still hurt. Though you also shouldn’t have assumed that he watched the lower leagues, nor even heard of your show.  
“Yeah, I know you, so what did you say and why are you calling her a WAG?” Lewis was both amused and concerned, it was a strange look.  
“Told her which canteen the WAGs usually go to but I’m guessing she already knows if she’s your guest, ay?” Ricciardo winked at you.  
“Oh, that’ll do it. I’m her mentor and self-imposed older brother so no she’s no WAG.” Lewis’ voice was stern but still held a small hint of humour. He then turned to you, a grin spreading across his face.  
“Suit up sugarsnap – you've got a hot lap to do.”
“Really?” The excitement of the day returned at that.  
“Yup and you’re driving me round, step to it.”
You ran back to your changing area squealing with excitement. You headed off so fast you missed the shocked look on Ricciardo’s face.
“She’s driving?”
“Mentor hot laps – a new Mercedes segment.”
“She’s a driver?”
“A damn good one – you'd know that if you checked any of the results from F2.”
“I do check!”
“Stewart? Placed 3rd in F3 last year?” Ricciardo was nodding, he knew that name, saw the results from last years F3 season too. “Yeah, she’s Rachel Stewart.”  
With that, Lewis headed to the garage to meet you.
You climbed into your GT-R, Lewis clambering into the passenger side, repeatedly commenting on how weird it felt given he was usually the one driving these laps. You could already see the joy on your media teams face, the camera catching this bickering and knowing full well how well received this sort of banter would be with fans.  
“You driven one of these before?” Lewis queried.
“Nope.” You replied, popping the ‘p’, “that an issue Lew?”
“Adds to the adventure. Don’t go above seventy on a corner or we’ll roll.” Fun, but something to learn.  
“Rollings fun.” You sassed back.
“Not your car Stewie.” Another nickname.  
“Roger that.”  
With a shared laugh, you were off on your lap.  
The mentor hotlaps segment had come about with Mercedes deciding that they wanted to start highlighting the impact a mentor could have, both on and off the track, and so were filming various challenges and fun tasks for their social media. They could showcase both mature and successful drivers, as well as the upcoming drivers they hoped would lead the next generation.  
You knew your lap was being filmed and so steered clear from bad language and uber personal topics but you laughed, chatted and teased your way round the hot lap, Lewis booing when you wouldn’t steal a second lap. As you climbed out you reminded Lewis that your name didn’t carry quite as much weight as his. Obviously, he couldn’t help but comment on how it wouldn’t be long till yours carried the same.  
Walking back towards your cool room several members of the Mercedes team congratulated you saying your lap was both impressive and hilarious. People seemed to love seeing the familial relationship you had developed with the five-time world champion. No one was quite as happy as Lewis’ press manager, quietly commenting how easy this would be to put out.
“Not bad at all doll.” An Australian accent called out as you left the main crowd in the garage.
Smirking up to the driver, one you may have had a crush on until he opened his mouth to speak earlier, you decided to play him at his own game.  
“Thanks. Say Ricciardo, when’s your contract up?”

BECAUSE I’M NOT POPULAR, I’LL READ WATAMOTE: CHAPTER #143
So in keeping with the recent trend of bringing back older characters, Watamote goes for a throwback and puts the OG trio into the spotlight. With Kii-chan, we got to experience how Tomoko managed to rekindle a previously strained relationship (somewhat). Will the Tomoko-Yuu-Komiyama team finally become a true circle? Or is it destined to exist as an awkwardly shaped, but cohesive oval? 
Chapter 143: Because I’m Not Popular, The Three Of Us Will Study Together
Tumblr media
As always, Komi’s looking damn fine with her patented punk/goth style. Those open-shouldered skull shirt, slick choker, asymmetrical skirt, and striped leggings all come together to make her look like a total rockstar. It’s delightfully contrasted by the fact that’s she’s a pervert with a baseball obsession, but being fashion-conscious does help to round out her..unsavory side.
But, Yuu, sweetheart, as much as a skater dress looks good on you, you could do without the spikes. Granted, I’m hardly an authority on fashion, and in some circles, I’m sure it looks great. But it’s doesn’t seem as...flashy as she usually presents herself. Perhaps it’s because she’s with Tomoko and Komiyama that she doesn’t feel the pressure to be overtly stylish, and is more comfortable with something more subdued.
Tumblr media
Man, the throwbacks just keep on comin’. What’s next, are they going to find Tomoko’s Yandere Boys Verbal Abuse CD hiding in her room?   
Tumblr media
Friendly reminder that Tomoko is, was, and will always be a piece of shit.
That said, Tomoko isn’t the type to be mean just for the heck of it. Her usual targets like Komiyama and Yoshida are only targeted because it’s been made apparent that they can handle it. With Komi-something, Tomoko knows that she’s not utterly irredeemable, which is why she takes any opportunity she can to milk Komi’s indecency. Because otherwise, she’ll be the bitch, and that’s a line even Tomoko won’t cross.
Tumblr media
This chapter should be titled, “-the four of us will study.”
Speaking of which, Yuu and Komiyama have never seen Tomoko’s big plushie before, right? They probably think that it’s evident of Tomoko’s hidden cute side but if they ever found out about all the questionable things Tomoko does to the poor thing, that idea is sure to be shattered.
Tumblr media
I suppose I should address the elephant in the room and ask what the hell is it with Yuu and her incessant sweating? Not even down her face or anything, but it flies off her body. Could this be her unique way of expressing hidden anxiety? That’s a scary possibility, to be sure.
Tumblr media
No, there’s supposed to be beer cans everywhere with inebriated kids playing footsie under the table that quickly escalated into necking and–oh, wait, this is reality. My bad.
Tumblr media
Ah, so these are the friends that Yuu-chan often brings up but we’ve never really seen before. They certainly look like a lively bunch, though that’s really all one can say from a single panel. Granted, if Yuu's school does have relatively inferior academics, then I imagine there’s a bit more goofing off going on here than actual studying.
Tumblr media
Same here. That’s the reason yours truly goes off to work at the local cafe rather work at home. Too many distractions and external stimuli at your abode, and no one to hold you accountable for slacking off.
Tumblr media
Not entirely sure if this is a joke lost in translation, but apparently Komiyama is humming a ditty about the Chiba Lotte Marines, namely infielder Nakamura Shougo. That’s actually kinda cute.
Tumblr media
Got nothin’ to say. Itou just looks adorable here. 
Tumblr media
This, however, is decidedly NOT cute.
As the series’ resident purevert, Komiyama’s crush on Tomoki has always fluctuated between two extremes: innocent, schoolgirl affection and disturbingly fetishistic lust, and this line about, um...licking Tomoki’s eye circles falls way into the latter. For the record, I’m generally nonjudgmental about one’s unharmful sexual preferences–to each their own, you know–but given Komiyama’s history, I’m genuinely concerned for Tomoki’s wellbeing should the girl ever get her paws on him. 
Tumblr media
Itou is canonically the strongest character in the whole series. Those powers of perception were gained through unfathomable amounts of mental destruction. 
Tumblr media
Self-awareness? What self-awareness?
Tumblr media
Is this going to be running gag now–Yuu innocently “complimenting” Komiyama with a between-the-lines insult?
I dig it.
Tumblr media
Some may call it slacking, I call it strategic half-assery.
Ah, so Tomoko is officially aiming for a liberal arts school. For a girl who used to have zero prospects after high school, it’s uplifting to see Tomoko with an actual long-term goal in mind. It really is the only thing she’s reasonably passionate about, and the “starving artist” lifestyle actually fits pretty well with Tomoko’s approach to the world, so good for her.
Tumblr media
Poor Yuu is never going to make it in the “real world”, is she?
Tumblr media
Checking out the play-by-play when you’re supposed to be studying? Sometimes I forget that Komiyama actually has a cute side.
Tumblr media
You know, given all the times when Tomoko and Komiyama are shitting at each other, these little bits of politeness between them are much more poignant. Sure, they’re being conscientious about it since Yuu’s there, but I can see this happening even if she wasn’t. See, Tomoko and Komiyama tend to mirror each other–insults are reciprocated with insults, and friendliness is reciprocated with friendliness. Even when they swing far on one side, something always pulls them back into equilibrium.
Tumblr media
This would’ve been a good spot to put a gag here, with Komi expecting a strikeout only to explode with joy in front of her friends when the Lotte’s make an unexpected comeback. Instead, Nico Tanigawa goes for realism, validating the more pessimistic side of Komiyama. As for why they chose this route, I actually believe its to set up a little arc for Komi. As of now, baseball and Tomoko are her saving graces, and neither is looking good right now. Ultimately, this could lead to Komi facing the reality that dreams don’t always come true, and learning to accept that.
Tumblr media
Yuu was definitely fishing for an answer to Nemo and Katou, and the fact that Tomoko doesn’t tell her right away is actually a good sign. Back in the old days, Tomoko would jump at the chance to “brag” about Yuu, her then-only friend because she was so insecure about their friendship falling apart. Since then, she’s made a number of meaningful friends, so that need to brag is long gone. 
Tumblr media
I love seeing characters describe other characters they’ve barely interacted with. Komi does see Nemo as a girl in the “sorta-in-crowd” so it makes sense that she would see her as “flashy”.
Tumblr media
Says the girl who also dresses super fashionably.
Tumblr media
Shocked, but not resentful. It’s uplighting to see Komiyama take Tomoko’s relative popularity in stride, and it’s a feeling that’s been there since the Kyoto Field Trip Arc. Despite having very few friends herself, she’s never thought poorly of Tomoko when the girl gained more friendships. If anything, it made Komiyama see her in a slightly better light now that she knows Tomoko isn’t completely irredeemable. 
Tumblr media
I could almost swear that Komi is doing that on purpose.
Tumblr media
Cuties.
Tumblr media
Everybody’s Golf is that PS4 game, correct? Good taste, this girl.
Tumblr media
Shit, Tomoko, at least take her out to dinner first.
But it actually makes sense for why Tomoko brings it up like that. She knows that she’s at that stage in her relationship with Yuu that she just can’t casually molest her anymore (not that she should have been doing that in the first place, but still). Tomoko, the perv that she is, still has those shitty desires, but she’s more tactical about it. Like a politician. 
Tumblr media
Lol! Tomoko is such a jokester!
...right?
Tumblr media
This harks back to those times when Tomoko fantasized about being an arms dealer/mercenary. Naturally, that’s a far cry from wanting to be a golfer, which is much more grounded in reality. Even Tomoko’s reasons about the payload and being a woman carries merit. Sure, it’s ultimately a fleeting interest, but at least her dreams aren’t so...how should I say, destructive anymore.
Even deeper into the realm of reality is her interest in being an esports streamer. Being a millennial, it’s a perfectly understandable desire that fits into Tomoko’s work ethic and personality. Sure, her last experience as a streamer was an utter failure, but now she’s got a good grasp on what it really takes to be one. My guess about Komiyama doubts stem from her thinking that female streamers become popular largely on their sex appeal, which Tomoko evidently does not have by most accounts. 
Tumblr media
Tomokitis (noun) – a rare disease characterized by an irrational lust for little brothers with baggy eyes named Tomoki. Prolonged exposure to Tomoki will worsen the lust to the point where mere proximity will trigger it. Those afflicted are forever hopeless.
Tumblr media
As freaky as Komiyama is, I’m more impressed that her thirst for Tomoki overrides any disgust she may have at the possibility of being related to Tomoko. Well, Tomoki is basically a drug for her at this point, and junkies have accepted far worse to gain their fix.
Tumblr media
Sploosh.
Tumblr media
In the rare possibility that the universe decides to hook up Tomoki and Komiyama, Tomoko is going to make one hell of a cockblocker. 
Tumblr media
Shoot, even the cat gets a return appearance. Nico Tanigawa are really putting out all the stops lately with the nostalgia, ain’t they? 
Tumblr media
If memory serves, there isn’t a scene in the manga that shows Yuu being particularly interested in cats, so this was actually pulled straight from the anime. You know, that scene in the last episode where Yuu chases down a mentally broken Tomoko only to suddenly stop and pet a kitty? If they're willing to reference anime-original moments like that, then Nico Tanigawa must have fond memories of their anime adaptation.  
Tumblr media
Is Yuu taking about the dog or Yoshida? :p 
Tumblr media
Okay, so the dog. Wonder how she’d take to being compared to a pig?
Tumblr media
First Pineapple-chan, and now Yuu-chan. It seems pretty mandatory that anybody outside of the loop would think that Yoshida was bullying Tomoko. Of course, once you realize that Tomoko has done things that would get her on the front page of a #MeeToo article, all bets are off.
Tumblr media
Has Tomoko ever been this upfront about how she harasses Yuu? It was always my assumption that this was an unspoken reoccurrence between the two of them. At least the physical stuff anyway, as Tomoko is known for making “jokes” about getting Yuu knocked up. The poor girl really is too sweet for her own good.
Tumblr media
While Yuu may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, that doesn’t mean she’s clueless about the sexual world (she supposedly lost her virginity after all). I’m sure she’s aware that most people wouldn’t tolerate Tomoko “accidental” groping, hence why she questions how someone could not bully her for that. 
Tumblr media
It’s pretty ironic how even though Yoshida is probably the most transparent character in the series, Tomoko still can’t figure out if she’s friends with her. That might be Tomoko’s fault somewhat as she’s the type who needs things spelled out to her, and given that Yoshida is more of an “actions speak louder than words” girl, you can see the barrier there. At some point, one of them’s going to have to take that first step and say it to the other’s face if this friendship is going to go places.  
Tumblr media
Poor Yuu. The first friend of the series is the last friend to see Tomoko’s growth.
Tumblr media
This has been a headcanon of mine since the very beginning of the series, but I’ve always felt that Yuu Naruse had this inner sadness to her. That underneath her beautiful looks and kind personality was a girl who suffers more than she lets on. Remember, Yuu’s personality is fundamentally the same as it was in middle school, despite all the outwardly changes she made in high school. What Tomoko once called a “debut” could have actually been a survival tactic. Yuu never likes to be a bother, and her way of hiding her emotions isn’t always healthy, whether it’s holding back tears about a terrible beach, or making her friends sing for an hour at karaoke. And heaven forbid her breakup with her ex-boyfriend was uglier than she let on. Worse yet, Yuu knows her weaknesses, which only makes her self-deprecating moments hurt even more.
Perhaps I’m talking out of my ass, but hey, Yuu deserves an overcomplicated character analysis just like all the others.  
Tumblr media
And as always, Yuu, the angel she is, always puts Tomoko before herself...
Tumblr media
I find it admirable that Komiyama is so secure about her social life. Her tiny circle of friends and lack of some Tomoki lovin’ have never truly brought her down, and she can even make fun of herself for it. It’s much different from Tomoko’s rampant self-consciousness of the earlier days, Some may argue it’s a lack of shame as opposed to self-confidence, but Komi is clearly making the best out of it.
Tumblr media
Hikari, eh? Other than reminding me of a certain Pokêmon character, I wonder if that’s a joke about how Itou “lights up” when she unleashes her powers of observation.
Tumblr media
...
...
...
So, um...fujoshi anyone?
Tumblr media
The prices one pays to be a friend to Kotomi Komiyama. 
All in all, this was a fairly easygoing chapter, as most chapters with the OG trio are. With the emotional rollercoaster that Golden Week had provided us, it’s nice to wind down a bit and reflect on the past. That’s not to say that this is a “recap” chapter by any means. Simply that this self-reflection exists to guide our heroines into the next stage of their young lives. It may be as simple as making a new friend over a perverted Skype call, but if there’s only one thing this series has taught us, it’s that the simple things are just the start of something greater.

08/21/2021
Its late rn at 2:00 am
Thought I haven’t wrote in a while and decided to write whats been on my mind. 
First thing is about job hunting. NGL been really slacking but making minimal progress. I have been asking my brother to look at my resume and if I needed touch ups. I have been editing and fixing that. However I havent been really proactive in looking for a job. IDK i feel really incompetent rn in terms of interviewing and not in the mindset cuz I’ve been lazy. I have been reading a bit of my Cracking the Code Interview. Im also starting on some project yesterday that is small but can demonstrate skills relavant now. Short story on that, Im planning on making a simple tic-tac-toe game that can run unit test and hopefully have a form of web application use. Nothing spectacular but it can demonstrate outside of just coding the game itself. I want to run automated test along side with a server running game on python. So I decided on that to just work on something than nothing. Aside from that the progress is slow and I know I am missing my window for hiring season. So instead I plan on really going hard in the Winter or anything afterwards. 
Also got my car again. I got a Honda Civic Sport 2021. Its a nice car! I really like it although we did have to finance it, its worth it imo. The car should not be breaking down anytime soon and its p much a brand new car. I installed LED lights on the interior and on the low-beam lights of the car. It was a simple install but the visibility at night is noticeable so worth an investment to put in the car. Aside from that don’t think I’ll be doing anything with that car soon.
One thing I really want to do is go back to SF. I was suppose to go to SF but due to the accident I didn’t have a mindset to go. But I do want to go back and visit everyone there. Especially with school looming, I want to meet everyone in person again and see them face-to-face. I just think of my graduation and it felt so empty. It was nice having Daniel them around, but I didn’t get to see other people that I have met through Dons Esports. So sometime when I do have productive work going though with my job search, I will drive up to SF.
My brother is also expecting a baby. My sister-in-law got a fertilized egg put in her and confirmed her pregnancy. Kind of exciting! It sounds like my brother has his life moving in SF and hes starting up. I also want to visit my brother up in SF and help him out if he needs anything. 
Overall, I do kind of feel lost in life. More specifically with career wise. I have a CS degree but I have no real passion in pursuing anything. Although a good paying field I feel like theres nothing really that makes me want to code. Something I probs need to search for along side with job hunting. I need to find something that genuinely looks interesting and want to do. So that’s really thing thats been somewhat bothering, which I fear that I will slack off cuz of no passion in my field. But one day I do need to get up and start taking earning. Or how else am I suppose to live out my dream of being rich. So that’s that and who knows when I’ll write my next post, Tumblr is a nice place to be in my own thoughts and served its purpose in the pandemic. So until next time, I hope I can write exciting news about my life. 
Cheers

ok so this is a little specific but id appreciate it if you do it a lot, could you do mccree, lucio, and zenyatta walking in on their s/o having a breakdown and once they can talk again they confess theyre very insecure about how they show affection and are worried that they dont show the boys they love them enough even if theyre very affectionate? and theyre worried the boys might leave them for it? if you dont feel comfy thats fine but if you can!! 
Request for PolyMchanzo (Fem!Reader) Body woreship - but not only for the reader - she can do it for Hanzo & Jesse 
pre-fall Jack taking his soon to be s/o on a Valentines date? fem pronouns please

I've waited so long (not that I'm complaining please take all the time you need) to request that scenario of reader leaving for a long mission and somehow while they're saying bye to McCree they manage to sneak their panties into his back pocket with a note telling him to use them whenever he feels lonely. 
Oh can I request moira with a fem reader? Where shes in her lab working late and her a surprise visit and nsfw ensues? 
May i request some nsfw of Roadhog with a tiny but chubby female reader. Where he's just grabbing all up on her soft bits while they're fucking and calling her pet names like "good girl" and/or "princess" ahh sorry im so needy(/)-(\) 
Nsfw headcannons for poly roadrat spitroasting female reader? 
Can I have a Soul mate au with Junkrat x male reader please? 
Would you be willing to write some smut, short as you want to, with multiple Genjis and one female reader? Like, some of his different skins? Or is that too much? I'd understand if it was.

Why you should stop thinking of your kids’ gaming time as wasted time
Tumblr media
Thoka Maer
One evening, I called my sons to come to eat — and got no response.
True confession: In anger, I marched into their room and kicked off the power button on their gaming console.
You’d have thought it was the end of the world. The boys were so mad and upset at me as their screen went blank. I brought them down to dinner, and my response to their behavior would typically have been: “You’re wasting away your life on video games.”
But that night, I chose to be curious instead of critical. I asked them: “Why is video gaming so important to you?”
I am so glad I asked. My boys were surprised, responding, “Mom, you really want to know?”
I replied: “Yes!”
They said: “Mom, everybody we know plays video games.”
They weren’t exaggerating. According to the Entertainment Software Association, 2.5 billion people on this planet are gamers. (“Gamer” simply refers to somebody that plays video games.) That’s roughly one-third of humanity.
My boys helped me discover an entire world that I knew nothing about, let alone knew how to parent. Gaming today is a connected, multiplayer, interactive entertainment experience. It’s full of competition, problem solving, puzzles, logic. Good stuff, right? It’s also full of conversations, culture, history, musical scores, art, dialogue, moral choices — stuff you actually want your kids to learn. Plus, gaming has philosophy, strategy, and amazing skill.
Imagine reading a really good book, or watching a great movie or sporting event — but this time you get to manipulate it, compete in it and interact with it. That’s modern video gaming.
The boys continued to teach me more things. For example, they told me that when I shut off the game, they get a suspension, explaining, “Mom, we have a responsibility and you keep asking us to pause the game. You can’t pause an online game. Seriously, Mom, you can’t pause a game.”
Then they said this: “You actually hurt us when you call us ‘loners’ and ‘losers’. We’re live on a headset in a multiplayer game with our friends, and we’re actually meeting new, real friends.”
That was the day I had an earth-shattering epiphany — I’m more alone in the kitchen cooking dinner than my boys are gaming upstairs. So I started embracing my kids as gamers, and this is what I yell out still to this day; “It’s almost time for dinner, where are you at in your game ?” I find out, I make the adjustment, and then we have that peaceful connected family dinner that I wanted in the first place.
One time, my oldest son Connor came to me and said “Mom, seriously, what do I need to do to get you to leave me alone after 3PM today?” I realized I could use his request to my advantage. So I made a list: Get your homework done and engage with Grandma at the table at lunch time (eye contact and all); I even added pulling weeds to the list. He got everything done. He said “Mom, this is so cool. All I really wanted to do this afternoon was rank up.”
In gaming, there are levels and leagues and rewards to be earned, so I figured if it’s important to him, it needed to be important to me too. This is exactly what Dr. Chris Haskell, associate clinical professor and esports head coach from Boise State University, says about his esport scholar-athletes. He is looking for gamers that have goals and are willing to improve in their game. In fact, many colleges now give scholarships for esports, and both the military and other industries now use video-game-type simulations in their jobs.
I started treating gaming like a sport with practices and everything. Would you go to your kid’s soccer practice or their baseball game and start yelling at the coach, “Stop everything, my kid needs to take out the trash now”? Of course not. I chose to let my kids game uninterrupted as long as they first took care of their responsibilities.
Gaming brings the entire world together with its common language and its team dynamics. Young people are watching others play video games. I used to criticize them for doing this. Well, my husband also watches other people play games — he’s a huge San Francisco 49ers fan. This past season, a game went into overtime and ended up lasting for four-and-a-half hours. Did I go lecture my husband and say, “You’re rotting your brain away and you’re wasting your life”? I chose to let him enjoy watching pro sports. When a gamer is watching another person play video games, they’re usually watching the pros and they’re trying to get tips and tricks for the games that they play.
Since I began talking to my sons about gaming, I’ve had a chance to interview some professional gamers. One of them remembered a time when he was with his extended family, and they were all going around sharing about their lives and trying to catch up with one another. When it was his turn, he started talking about video games and his love of playing. One of his aunts rudely announced to everyone: “Why don’t you tell us something that people are actually interested in?”
Everybody had a good laugh at his expense, and he’s hardly talked to his extended family since then — and that was over a decade ago. I wonder what would have happened if that aunt had chosen to be curious instead of critical?
By now you may be thinking, “Well, she didn’t bring up about any of the bad stuff about video games.” You’re right.
It’s true — there are concerns with online communication and other issues, but that’s why it’s even more important to be involved in a gamer kid’s life. In my own home, my sons and I have maintained an open dialogue about online behavior and balance. Now, years later, I know my younger son still games with his older brother, even though they’re over 300 miles apart. This melts my heart. Gaming has kept their connection close.
My advice isn’t just for parents. It’s also for grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles, godparents, good friends, school administrators and other relatives: Be curious.
Here’s a simple solution. Start a conversation with your gamer kid by asking them these three questions:
What games do you play? Why do you enjoy playing those particular games? Can I watch you game sometime?
If we don’t embrace gaming, we might lose connection with the people that we love the most.

Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 35
I have the day off today so I'll probably have time for a couple more episodes than I usually watch. While it's tempting to cram in all 6 and finish it I probably won't do that but we'll see how it goes.
Tumblr media
I am having a lot of feelings about these literal children having to raise themselves. I know shit like this happens a lot in the sports and idol industries and it makes me so sad. I know Ye Xiu got kicked out but where are Mucheng and Muqiu's family?
Also, yesterday @hphaeton pointed out that the voice actor dubbing Ye Xiu is the same person who dubbed Cheng Yi in Love and Redemption. It's so obvious now I know. I can't believe I didn't spot it before. He has a very nice voice.
Tumblr media
Oh no he's crying again
Tumblr media
Poor Mucheng this must be so hard for her too. It's like losing her brother all over again.
Tumblr media
Oh no they're all blaming each other for the loss and it's making Ye Xiu Even Sadder. But, look, isn't this the first time they've actually lost a pro game? No team can win all the time this is something they're going to need to get used to. I'm sure Ye Xiu will teach them that.
Tumblr media
Oh do NOT start lashing out at my son who is trying to keep the peace
Tumblr media
Everyone is so upset. Also, that is a very Western breakfast they are eating
Tumblr media
Look, obviously I love them all. But if you're going to suggest disbanding every time you lose a game then maybe you aren't suited to being a team. Take the loss, reflect, bounce back. That's what sport is. To make it All About Me when I first got into hockey my team of choice had one of the worst seasons ever seen. 5 years later they won the championship.
Tumblr media
I shouldn't laugh when everyone is dramatically breaking up but Mo Fan is such a mood
Tumblr media
He's tired and sad and that should be your rallying point. Unite to cheer him up and help him rebuild his weapon (which I'm assuming they will do when they get over all this)
Tumblr media
Ye Xiu at least understands that they need more time to properly bond as a team. The latest member joined them right before the game that they lost.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NO THE GAMER GIRLFRIENDS HAVE BROKEN UP THIS IS TERRIBLE. They were my first ship in this drama 😭
Tumblr media
I'm glad you've learned this lesson but you literally ran away from your esports team because you lost a competition and back to your piano school that you also ran away from because you lost a competition. We seem to be going in circles here.
Tumblr media
So Tang Rou has gone back to music school and Wei Chen is selling his account. This is all feeling very permanent and I am Concerned
Tumblr media
Oh, thank god. Baozi is there to (hopefully) stop him
Tumblr media
How could anyone resist the puppy face
Tumblr media
I love Baozi so much. He really is the heart of the team. He just wants to hang out with his friends and do the thing they all love whether they win or lose. I think he should just go around everyone and 🥺 at them until the agree to come back
Tumblr media
Great now I'm crying
Tumblr media
Well, fuck, he signed it anyway

Super Smash Bros. Esport Community Shakes Under Sexual Harassment Allegations
July 2, 2020 8:06 PM EST
The competitive Smash scene is undergoing a cleansing after a disturbing amount of sexual accusations have risen regarding prominent figures in the community.
In the past few weeks, we’ve seen numerous members of the gaming industry speak out about their experience of sexual harassment and assault, leading to major companies like Ubisoft and Twitch to take action in regards to the allegations. It wasn’t until recently though that several members of the Super Smash Bros. competitive community have confided their experiences with players and commentators that involve pedophilia, rape, sexual harassment, and grooming.
Warning: This article highly contains sensitive topics such as rape, assault, and sexual harassment.
In this article, I will be going into detail on several different cases, but not every single one that has come to light. I will have a list of allegations along with their sources at the end of this story.
The Smash community has had a history of these kinds of allegations for years now, with one of the most mainstream being Cristian “Hyuga” Medina back in 2016 who was accused of rape by Smash caster VikkiKiity while attending EVO in Las Vegas. Hyuga did not deny the claim but explained that he did not remember the altercation due to being drunk. As a result, Hyuga went on to retire from competitive Smash. This lead to him being banned across numerous professional tournaments in the U.S. While a pivotal story leading to the betterment of the community, no other allegations came about from other players at that time, but now, a major cleanse is taking place.

Yesterday, a competitive player known as Puppeh came out about his experience with Cinnpie, a well-known and beloved member of the community, and how he had a relationship with her in 2016 at the age of 14 when Cinnpie was 24. Lasting over the summer, Puppeh explained in his statement about how their relationship led to oral sex and details as to how she manipulated him into keeping quiet about everything by deleting their messages and saying that they could be together when Puppeh turned 18.

Following Puppeh’s statement, another member named Glyphmoney spoke about his relationship with Cinnpie as well. Being 14 at the time, Glyph said that Cinnpie manipulated them by using sex as a weapon, telling him that they were “soulmates” and wanted a “monogamous relationship.” She later preceded to cheat on him, stating to them that “she belonged to no one,” and that she loved him too much to break up with him despite feeling that she “needed to be free to do what she wanted.”
Glyph even explained how Cinnpie used Puppeh to reach out to him after they broke up and he blocked her on social media. Puppeh backed Glyph’s statement by retweeting it on Twitter. Cinnpie has yet to make any statement on either claim. Following Puppeh’s allegations, several members of the Smash community released their stories that involved some of the most prominent players and commentators in the community, including Nairo, Captain Zack, Keitaro, and D1.

Zack “Captain Zack” Lauth, who is most known for playing Bayonetta in Smash 4, revealed yesterday on his Twitter that he had sexual relations with Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada at the age of 15. Nairo was 20 during this time. In his statement is a gallery of screenshots that includes a graphic conversation with an anonymous friend explaining how he performed oral sex on Quezada in 2017. After the relations, Nairo and his brother began sending Lauth money using a fake name on PayPal to refrain him from speaking on the interaction.
Last year, there was a scandal regarding Captain Zack and Elliot Bastien “Ally” Carroza-Oyarce where Lauth admitted to throwing matches to Ally as well as being in an underage relationship with Carroza being twice his age. This made Nairo fear that their situation would also come to light leading to the hush money. Zack stated that his intent was not to out Nairo but to stop living behind lies.
Quezada made a statement earlier today owning up to everything he did and apologized for his behavior ending it with, “I failed you all. I am sorry.” His sponsor NRG cut ties with Nairo following the news. This led to other Smash pros worrying about the mental state of Nairo after he sent Ezra “Samsora” Morris two messages. The first being “Goodbye Ezra,” and the second being “Sorry.”

There have been many other claims of pedophilia, including Keitaro who was accused of having sex with a then 16-year-old fully knowing of her age. The woman known as Sandy spoke on the interaction after an anonymous Twitter user called Keitaro out about it without Shiva’s consent. Keitaro responded to the allegations admitting to everything, explaining that he invited her over to a party where there was alcohol where they drank together, leading to her sexually touching him until she initiated intercourse.
He stated, “…I’m fucking stupid for going along with this. Kept thinking ‘okay, this is happening and shouldn’t, but it’ll def not go any further’ although it was already very bad. After some time she put her other hand in the pool and I wasn’t sure what she was doing until I felt me inside of her. I yelled ‘what are you doing!!??’ but didn’t stop anything afterwards.” Keitaro has since deactivated his Twitter.

D’Ron “D1” Maingrette, arguably the most well-known commentator in competitive Smash was accused of rape in November of 2016 at Smash the Record in Orlando by a woman named Kaitlyn (KTDominate on Twitter) saying that she got drunk, left her friends to go back to D1’s hotel room and woke up to him penetrating her, vomiting, and waking up the next morning. It wasn’t until EVO 2017 where D1 supposedly gave a forced apology from Kaitlyn’s boyfriend who was, at the time, Jestise “MVD” Negron. In response to the accusation, D1 explained that he woke up alone in his room and was unable to recollect what happened that night requiring him to get information from other people as to what occurred.
Apology to KTDominate
Read: https://t.co/ZxUIqeuJN3
— (@xD1x) July 2, 2020
“I couldn’t consent to the act on my part, and everyone that knows me knows that I am not that kind of person. MVD was a great mediator and assisted with setting up the opportunity to clear the air. I could not provide a truth beyond what happened prior and after her being in my hotel room, all I could do was validate her feelings and apologize in the end,” said Maingrette. “As a figurehead in the community, I understand that there is no excuse for my behaviors, and I understand that they were wrong. I should have never gotten so drunk that I couldn’t remember these events in the first place.”
After D1’s apology, MVD shared a screenshot showing that D1 had no interest in apologizing to Kaitlyn initially saying, “I’m good fam, I wouldn’t press the situation any further.” Maingrette was also accused by a different woman named Daycia, who shared how he slept naked in the same bed without asking and stop talking to her after she rejected sleeping with him. D1 has yet to make a statement regarding this accusation.
So, to clear some stuff on this 1. We did not start dating until 7 months later 2. You cried and sobbed in my arms multiple times begging for forgiveness, even tho I was not the person to apologize to 3. If you claim to not know anything why say this?(2 weeks after said incident) https://t.co/4CKy3vZmiV pic.twitter.com/Lseng6Hpwy
— MVD @ Quarantine (@MVD731) July 2, 2020
These are just a few of the many allegations that are taking place across the community, but every story matters. For those interested, you can find a list of members and sources who have been accused throughout this time in this Reddit thread.

Wanting to be a happier / more efficient person via /r/selfimprovement
Wanting to be a happier / more efficient person
Hello.
(Before I start, I made the same opener in a recent r/NonZeroDay post of mine. I think it gives a good understanding of my situation)
(A little about myself before I start. In no way is this meant to be a form of bragging / playing the victim. Just factual statements to help you (yes you) better understand me before I start explaining my situation.)
My name is Dylan and I am a 15 year old aspiring esports professional, from NY. I fell in love with the industry 6 years ago. Since then, all I could study / research was esports. I've learned a ton, but still have ways to go. I have gotten to the understanding that when given the choice, playing and pursueing esports as a profession, as well as studying / researching it when I'm not playing, are the two things I love most. If I had a week to do whatever I wanted, I would wakeup, play, learn, anylyze, study, sleep, repeat. Obviously, though, as a teenager who has way more responsibilities (school, family, social, athletics) this is not a reality, nor will it be in the forseeable future. Now that you know my goals and dreams, a bit about my reality...
I was diagnosed with depression and ADD, and have been assumed to have anxiety as well. Depression does not control my life, and I HATE to use it as an excuse for anything, but when things head downhill, it seems to be the label that is pasted on those feelings right away. ADD is a strange thing for me. I do not feel as if it controls my life either, yet I tend to get distracted, off task, ancy, figity, etc. extremely often. (I am a teenager living in a society where such attributes have become more and more common, so I have accepted the fact that it may just be that.) I also CONSTANTLY THINK. I literally do not stop thinking. I have a voice running through my head 24/7. (I do not know if it's because of my apparently high IQ or just because I think a lot but it is so fucking annoying, and I wish I could utilyze it efficiently, as I am not a fast, in-the-moment thinker) This causes extreme and prolonged periods of lack of attention, inefficiencies, and overal procrastination beyond belief. As for my anxiety, I get extremely worked up / tense / anxious / naseous / feel gross whenever something interjects with me / whatever I am doing, ESPECIALLY when I am doing something I do not want to. I have figured out that these are actually greatly controllable, and revolve solely around my general happieness. I am greatly affected by external things, whether it be the current relationship with my family, how school is going, how gameing is going, etc. I find that when I am in front of the computer, many of these life inhibitors are minimized and I feel as if I am finally able to do what I want, which is why I am so emotionaly attatched to gameing and pursueing a career in esports.
I disagree, heavily, with the current school system, as I feel as if it lacks focus on what students actually care for. Although many American schools are transitioning into a more European type of schooling, where specific focuses / pursuits are prioritized, yet balanced with the "normal" school work.
I live in a dysfunctional household, where I argue with my parents on a daily basis, and am currently highly considering moveing out when I turn 16 (May). They are the common Jewish parents (similar to that of the asian stereotype), who value the education system highly and cannot accept that fact that I do not want to go to college, and that it is not a good use of my time. 99% of our arguements nowadays are about the computer / gameing and balanceing it with schoolwork. I used to be told that as long as I did well in school (90 minimum in all of my classes at all times) I could play a lot (only during the weekends). After fighting for about a year to have playing time during the school week, they have finally agreed to allowing me to play, as long as I'm done with all of my school work, am actively social, excersise multiple times a week, and be a "good person." None of these are unrealistic, as I feel like maintaining these is actually beneficial to my health. With that said, they have recently made a restriction that was never part of our "deal", which is that I can only play up to 3 hours a day, during the school week, and have to get off at 10:30pm (previously 11pm). For as long as the original "deal" was in place, I listened to their rules, actively putting effort into all of their needs, whilst being allowed to play basically as much as I wanted during the week. Since this been taken away, many more arguements and disagreements have become abrubt, as I feel like if I can do what they ask, and there is a specific curfue, being allowed to play until then is not unrealistic, by any means. The second that I break these guidelines / do not do what they ask me under the "deal", I can understand why gameing will be taken away. As I begin to agree more and more with them, allowing for such restrictions to take over the "deal", they begin to present more and more priorities that were never apart of the conversation, and have said if I can't live up to the new standards, gameing drops right away.
Forgot to mention my parents...
My mom is extremely aggressive and does not stop at anything short of exactly what she wants. She has mentally and physically hurt me, screaming at me for as long as I can remember, saying lasting remarks like "I wish I never had you" and "You're such a fucking asshole", etc. and has hit me multiple times over the past 2ish years. (CPS actually got involved 2 weeks ago, when I was talking to a guidance counselor at school about her punching me. My mom is furious with me about this, and says she will never forgive me) She controls the household and manipulates everyone, but I argue with her the most because I'm not afraid to stand up against her, unlike my brother (going to college next year) and my sister (2 years younger than me - has been hit by my mom multiple times, and argues with her sometimes, knowing how rediculousmy mom can get, yet still blames me for the arguements between my mom and I). When I am in some of my lowest points, she is not there for me, and threatens me. (The other week, we were in the car and I was at a terribly low point. I was pleading for emotional support, and she honked her car horn for 30 seconds, only to threaten me with throwing me out of the car onto the side of the highway, if I said one more word.)
My dad is a very passive person. He used to argue with my mom constantly, but has since thought that being more passive and just agreeing with her, even when he thinks he is right, is a better solution, to prevent divorce, and arguementation in general. This has lead to him being a "sidekick" type figure to my mom, agreeing with her about everything and creating a team against me. I do not think that parents working as a team is a bad thing, but my mom, being as controlling and manipulative as she is, takes advantage of this, and assumes even more power with my dad on her side.
As a whole, they have become extremely "anti-Dylan" and have turned to being unrealistic and extremely controlling of my life as a solution to our problems. (An example of their unrealisticness happened tonight, when my mom barged into my room and screamed at me to get of of the computer. I asked why and she stared me down and screamed "because you have work to do." I replied with "I finished all my work life you asked me" (I genuinely did all of my work), to which she replied "No you didn't. You have more work to do. Get the fuck off the computer and do you work." She continued the conversation downstairs when I tried to convince her that I had finished all of my work, to which she stormed upstairs and left me with my dad. My dad looked at me and said "This is why I wanna throw that fucking thing out of the window. It brings so many problems to this house." I explained "I just wish you guys supported me more with what I want to do with my life." All he said was "We do."
(tl;dr) My situation can be summed up like this:
I want to pursue gameing as a career, becoming a professional, learning the buisness, and evnetually branching off into owning / manageing my own org / team / company relating to esports.
My parents support none of this and hate the idea.
I am able to manage and achieve all of their requests at the standard in which they ask of me, only for them to go against our "deal" (where if I do those things (90s+ in all of my classes at school, be social, be athletic, be a good person) I can game) and put more and more restrictions on it.
I want them to accept me and my pursuit, and support me in doing so. I think they do care a lot about my future / happieness, and I do think they want the best for me, yet they don't understand that gameing is what makes me happiest.
I REALLY DO BELIEV THAT THEY WILL SUPPORT ME IF I PROVE THAT I CAN MAKE MONEY.
This situation brings me tons of sadness, yet motivation to make the most of my time on and off the computer.
I am seeking advice on staying positive in such shitty times, as well as ways to be efficient and make it to the top with such a lack of opportunity, as compared to those who grind to the top 0.01%. I am open to any advice / system to do so, and would love to hear what you guys have to say.
Thanks.

Get to know Portland Timbers eMLS Cup player Edgar Guerrero
Courtesy of Portland Timbers
April 2, 20186:34PM EDT
EDITOR’S NOTE: The inaugural eMLS Cup will take place April 5-8, 2018, live at PAX East in Boston and streamed on Twitch. Learn more
The Portland Timbers aren’t known for doing things halfway, and their dive into eSports is no exception. The Rose City club had their eyes on over 100 potential candidates before they zeroed in on Edgar Guerrero, better known by his gamertag x_thiago_silva_o.
Given the amount of top-flight talent rising through the competitive ranks in the Americas, it’s no surprise that the hunt for the Timbers’ first-ever eSports signing was intense, but Guerrero’s background set him apart.
As accomplished as Guerrero is, his experience is a bit unorthodox. While eMLS Cup will be a 1v1 competition format, Guererro originally thrived as an 11v11 player on the PlayStation4, captaining one of the world’s elite online squads and ranking number one in the world individually.
Plenty of things have changed for Guerrero in just the last year, however, and adapting to this format won’t be something that fazes him. After all, the Timbers aren’t his first brush with the professional circuit. Guerrero signed on as the captain of Liga MX powerhouse Club América’s 11v11 team last Summer, with four First Division Pro titles, two Copa Pro titles, two Super Copa Pro titles, two Continental Cup titles, and a Mexican Championship title already on his resume.
Since then, he’s switched leagues, switched clubs, and switched competition formats. Now, let’s get to know the man who is switching it into high gear ahead of eMLS Cup.
Pedal To The Medal
Guerrero likes to score goals. If you like watching EA SPORTS FIFA 18 competitions, the fact that he’s in eMLS Cup is very good news.
“Games are never boring when I’m involved,” explains Guerrero. Way back in the day, when he first got his PlayStation2, Edgar and his brother played their first-ever game of FIFA – a 23-22 goalfest over 90 minutes of real time.
“What sets me apart is that I bring a fun, quick style of play that is fun to watch and typically brings high-scoring games.”
Hit The Weights, Hit The Road
“Working out helps me relax and clear my mind,” Guerrero reveals about how he spends his free time. Pumping iron keeps him sharp and focused, but it’s not the only way he keeps himself in top shape to compete.
“Going out for a walk or just doing something outside helps you refresh and relax your mind,” he says.
“I visit Southern California once a year, either in the summer or the winter. I have a lot of family down there so when I have 2-3 weeks off I go visit them.”
Keep It Clean
While everyone’s definition of eating healthy varies, it is important to stay disciplined when it comes to fueling up for the top levels of mental competition. Whether you’re vegan, a paleo warrior, or carbo-loading before a half-marathon, there’s no exception for nutrition.
For Guerrero, that means fruits, veggies, and lots of water.
“I typically like to eat a lot of fruit and drink water,” he says. “I don’t like eating greasy foods or anything that’s going to make me feel sleepy before a tournament or competition.”
That’s probably good, considering being sleepy makes it difficult to play the kind of high-octane style that Edgar thrives on.
Sterling Silver: Solid Gold
Just like NYCFC’s eMLS Cup representative, Chris Holly, Edgar Guerrero has a secret weapon. No, it’s not El Guaje.
“Raheem Sterling will be coming off the bench for my team,” reveals Edgar. The Manchester City star has had a breakout season in real life, and in FIFA 18, his blistering pace, quickness, and dribbling skills fit perfectly into Guerrero’s style of play.
“He is a player that hasn’t been used much this year but he is one of the better players in the game due to his stats,” explains Guerrero.
It’s true, Sterling’s ownership has fallen off a bit this year due to the sheer amount of pacy, tricky wingers in the game. However, that doesn’t mean Sterling isn’t a killer option, and when a player knows how to use a player, there’s no reason not to stick with him.
Practice Makes Perfect
Guerrero has faced a lot of foes in his day, and as he continues his transition from 11v11 to 1v1 competition formats, his learning curve has required him to pass some tough tests. Even as we near the kickoff of eMLS Cup, he’s still climbing rungs all the way to the top.
“The toughest opponent I’ve played this year by far is xbleU,” says Edgar. xbleU is currently ranked just inside the top 100 in the Americas region, peaking up in the top 15 earlier in the year.
“He is from LA; I love playing him because I always learn something new but it’s always a challenge,” admits Guerrero.
“His style of play is very slow and he is great at keeping the ball. Patience is key when playing him. If you start to run all over the place trying to get the ball, he takes advantage and scores his chances.”

A/N: I worked nearly three hours on this. This an idea I’m never gonna write down for the uttermost respect I have toward this wonderful novel, but I had to write the ideas to calm my nerves. I absolutely adore King’s Avatar [Quanzhi Gaoshou] so I wanted to give a try how to work on the characters if they were in Inazuma universe. Surprisingly, after pondering over the night, the best team to work as Happy was Aliea/Eisei Gakuen. This is the list of the main team. Second part with the rival characters will come out in the future.   
It’s been 10 years since the first server of INAZUMA was opened, and the company celebrates it with the opening of the 10th server. INAZUMA is extremely popular MMORPG in Asia and its popularity has been enormous in Japan.
Kiyama Hiroto, captain of Excellent Cloud since it’s formation 8 years prior, was kicked out of the team for not having marketing value. Due to personal reasons, he refused to appear before public, and his strict leading made his teammates to scheme behind his back. In the middle of the 8th season, his retirement was unexpectedly announced – according to contract, he was not to return to the professional scene till a year has passed.
Having lost the very thing he loved, Hiroto wandered to Eisei Internet Café and led by circumstances, he was eventually hired there as an employee. On the same night INAZUMA’s 10th server was opened. With his new character, Lord Gran, Hiroto starts off his journey to conquer INAZUMA game in the 10th server.
This is a story, how fallen legends step into their game again to become legends once again.
INAZUMA!
Team Eisei  
[Name - Age - Character Class - Account Name] 
Kiyama Hiroto – 25 – Unspecialized – Lord Gran While his real name is Kiyama Hiroto, he’s known by the name Kiyama Tatsuya in the eSports. The main character of the story who been playing INAZUMA for 10 years and been in the professional scene for 8. He’s known as INAZUMA textbook and is one of the four Master Tacticians. He is the previous owner of One Epsilon Leaf and the current owner of Lord Gran. Hiroto is also the previous captain of Team Excellent Cloud and current captain of Team Eisei. His best friend created the weapon Infinite Chance Umbrella he’s holding – a specially made weapon for Unspecialized character.  He’s a three-time champion and aims to win the championships wit the new team he has gathered. Hiroto ran away from home at the age of fifteen in order to play video games.          
An Hasuike – 22 – Battle Mage – Soft Rean A good friend of Yagami Reina and an employee at Eisei, An has no particular knowledge of INAZUMA. She has superior mechanics and helped Reina to pass the Heavenly Domain test and often helps her to fight against strong opponents. An finds INAZUMA very easy and looks down on the game. She’s eventually challenged by Hiroto and is utterly destroyed by him, only to realize the game isn’t that simple. After this, she takes a serious approach on the game and creates her own account Soft Rean. She plays as Battle Mage, what was Hiroto’s One Epsilon Leaf’s class.
Nagumo Haruya – 21 – Brawler – Burning Torch Haruya is known for playing various video games and started playing INAZUMA when the 10th server opened. Hiroto first stumbled upon him while trying to steal a wild Boss. He eventually helped Haruya to steal the Boss and invited him to join his group. Haruya has a raw talent for the game, for having played various video games and his style is very unique and unpredictable. Like An, Haruya has excellent mechanics. He also has a talent to make people annoyed at him and especially Fuusuke is often target of his unwanted attention. Haruya thinks of himself as Fuusuke’s senior because he found the boy and is better play than him. Despite their endless arguments, they are roommates.     
Touchi Ai – 23 – Launcher – Icing Rain INAZUMA’s most famous female player and a sister-like figure to Kiyama Hiroto. She’s an orphan and was raised by her brother and Hiroto. Ai entered INAZUMA as the 4th generation – also known as the Golden Generation – and received the Best Partner Award with Hiroto for four consecutive years before his retirement from Excellent Cloud. She wanted to leave with him, but Hiroto stopped her, seeing that her contract was valid for a one more year. Ai is famous for her marketing value, and while she’s not an outstanding player, she’s good to keep around to earn money. She eventually joins Team Eisei once her contract expires. She is known for her perfect coordination skill with Hiroto and wants to be near him as his support.
Kariya Masaki – 17 – Ghostblade – One Hunter’s Net Masaki was originally a member of Team Raimon, but after his contract was expired the team decided not to continue it. He was one the players the team was raising, but was outshined by the prodigy Kageyama Hikaru. While on the team he was threated like an air and he never got to play on the stage – no one even knew he exited. Masaki originally played as Assassin, but changed to Ghostblade following Hiroto’s suggestion. His pride was scattered when he lost horribly in the All Start Tournament’s Rookie Challenge and was comforted by Hiroto. After his contract was expired, he sought sheltering from Hiroto and Eisei. He was warmly welcomed to the team.    
Saginuma Osamu – 30 – Warlock – Wormhole Formation Previous Captain of Team Royal. He retired from the Professional scene in the second season after horribly losing to trainee Kidou Yuuto in one of Team Royal’s training camps. Ever since, he’s been playing the game with the gang he has gathered. Hiroto stumbles upon Osamu in the Heavenly Domain when Osamu ambushes him and tries to steal Infinite Chance Umbrella. In the end, it’s Osamu who ends up dead and Hiroto manages to steal his Gungnir’s Hand. Hiroto invites Osamu to join the new team he’s creating and while Osamu refuses at first, he eventually accepts in his invite. After all, he loves INAZUMA very much and who wouldn’t want to try aim for the champion. Osamu is considered Old Man in the professional scene.      
Suzuno Fuusuke – 18 – Summoner – Diamond Dust Fuusuke is a second-year mathematics student at University, despite being only 18. He’s new to INAZUMA, but is smart and has a knack for strategy. He wrote meticulous, yet restrictive guides on clearing dungeons because of his lack of experience in Glory. He stumbled upon Burning Torch while the latter was on the run and helped him to run away from his chasers. Burning Torch eventually bought him with him and laughed as his poor mechanics. Hiroto recognized his efforts and helped to create a training program for him to train his mechanics. Fuusuke is constantly being picked up by Haruya which irritates him. He had Haruya share a room.  
Midorikawa Ryuuji – 20 – Cleric – Little Green Hands Ryuuji, was a member of Team Internationals’ 7th Branch Guild. Hiroto went of undercover mission to Team International’s guilds to seek out for a Cleric. He eventually noticed Ryuuji, a person who might have lacked in hand speed and team reaction, but was exceptional at seizing opportunities. When the team lost against last years champions despite having a full set of Silver Equipmen, Ryuuji felt down. When Hiroto was questioned if Midorikawa had the skills to be a pro, he affirmatively – his reason being that Ryuuji was from Eisei.    
Atsuishi Shigeto – 21 – Ninja – Whithering Before meeting Hiroto and joining Eisei, Shigeto was known as infamous scrap picker in the Heavenly Domain. He is a lone wolf while committing the acts solo. Despite his infamy, he rarely talked to other people online or payed any attention to Pro League. This was shown when he had never heard of Lord Gran. Atsuishi Shigeto took the longest time to recruit and Hiroto had to kill him numerous of times, before the guy finally yielded in. He received the name God Killer after killing Fudou Akio and Fubuki Atsuya.    
Aphrodi – 20 – Qi Master – Boundless Heaven Afuro Terumi, known as Aphrodi in the Pro League, is a former member of Team Zeus. He transferred to Eisei after the 9th season and became team’s vice-captain after 10th season. He is known as the “First Thief” and “First Qi Master” in the Pro Alliance. He is also one of the few people who plays with a character opposite to his gender. He joined Eisei upon hearing that they acquired Boundless Heaven, despite knowing the fact that the character is female. Much like everyone in Team Eisei, Aphrodi displays tremendous persistence. When he first arrived to Eisei, he spent 3 hours fighting with Hiroto. He has received nick names Golden Right Hand, and God Hand.
Others 
Yagami Reina – 27 – Launcher – Chasing Trick Reina is the owner of Eisei Internet Café and the employer of Kiyama Hiroto and Hasuike An. She’s also a good friend of An. Reina dropped from school after High School and took after the Internet Café her late father owned. She’s a huge fan of INAZUMA and Excellent Cloud, especially their Launcher Touchi Ai. She choose to play as a Launcher because of Ai. Reina has very average skills though, and often has to ask for An to help her defeat opponents. After meeting Hiroto, Reina’s respect for Excellent Cloud scatters and she starts to despise the team. She and An suggest Hiroto creating a new team and Reina offers to become the Boss.  
Touchi Shuuji – Deceased Touchi was good friend of Kiyama Hiroto and the older brother of Touchi Ai. He was an orphan and met Hiroto on an Internet Café and invited to play INAZUMA with him. The boys spend a lot of time exploring the world and created equipment. He is the creator of Infinite Chance Umbrella and the original owner of Icing Rain. He was supposed to join Excellent Cloud together with Hiroto, but died in a car accident before the season began.    
Kiyama Tatsuya – 25 Kiyama Hiroto’s younger brother. It was him, who had originally planned on running away from home, but Hiroto stole his ID card and runaway. Hiroto also entered to Pro Alliance with in his brother’s ID so that he wouldn’t be found. After years they eventually found Hiroto. Tatsuya has appeared to ask Hiroto to return home. It seems that he still plans on running away from home. He and Hiroto come from a prosperous family.
