Tillie teasing \\ Mapi Leon x reader
2017
Stepping off the plane in Barcelona, the heat immediately hits you in the face. After clearing customs and collecting the many bags you've brought, a woman holding a sign with your name and the Barca logo under it waves you down. You find out she's the assistant manager and that the team sent. After anxiously fiddling with your fingers, the car turns into Barca's training centre. Backpack in hand, you follow the assistant manager as you meet all the behind the scenes people.
When meeting the team, you look eyes with who you believe is 'Maria'. She smiles at you and holds her hand out for you to take. When someone starts speaking to the both of you, your hands drop and a subtle blush both of your cheeks. You nod as you got the basics of the conversation, something about you and Mapi and an apartment. A soft nudge in your ribs turns you towards the brunette. She holds out her phone and you see google translate on.
Looks like we'll be seeing more of each other beautiful. They are putting us in the same apartment.
You smile and point to her phone as to say you want to type something. She nods and you type away.
Can't wait gorgeous :)
After the flirty interaction, you both move to the locker room and field to check it out. Since you both don't have to participate in this training, coach says you can go home and rest. The same driver from the airport takes you and Mapi to the apartment.
2019
Throughout the 2018/19 season, you, Alexia and Mapi become the Aussie/Spanish trio no one needed but everyone loved. You taught them English and they taught you Spanish in return, allowed Barca to organise more media interviews in the 2nd language. Alexia noticed over the last couple of years how smitten you both are with each other so she decided now is the time to meddle.
"Hola y/n/n, are you free tomorrow at 7?" Alexia asks as she swings an arm over your shoulder.
"Yeah, why?"
"Maps, are you free?" Alexia ignores your question as she turns to Mapi on her other side.
"Depends"
"Great. I'm not so enjoy your date chicas!"
You and Mapi look at each other before laughing at what had just happened. You and Mapi walk to the car talking about who should plan the date.
Safe to say the date led to both of you confessing your love for each other and the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
2020
Before anyone realised, the world was shit down due to covid. You were extremely anxious the first few weeks as the area in Australia where your family and friends live got Covid first. Then you and Mapi saw how fast it was spreading in Spain. Mapi had been your rock through it all. She always was there to distract you from the news from outside. Since you were in lockdown with the rest of the world, you couldn't see your best friends from the Tillies so you all had to resort to Zoom calls.
"So y/n/n, what's up with you and Mapi?" Macca teases as she wriggles her eyebrows in a playful way.
"Nothing is go- hola bebé" Mapi leans over and kisses you quickly before you realise how she's dressed.
"Nothing going on my ass!" Sam yells out, focusing you back on the call.
"Okay we're dating but you cannot tell a single soul. I mean it"
"Oooh protective y/n/n"
2021
Early in this year, the Tillies had a camp in Australia for the Olympics qualifers for Tokyo. Spain had a break during this time so Mapi though she'd come and support you and you girls (but you didn't know that). Currently; you, Sam, Macca, Caitlin, Steph and Alanna are eating breakfast when the woman of the hour calls you. Macca looks at your phone and her eyes go wide at the name.
"Hola bebita"
You stand up and move away from the table to escape their teasing, oh how wrong you were. When you come back the girls are making kissy faces at you and you shush them before anyone sees.
"How's lover girl?" Sam asks with a mouthful of banana.
"Fine, bored without me I think"
"Yeah, I bet she is" Macca mumbles before being elbowed by Caitlin.
A few hours later, you all arrive at the stadium for teh game against China. You are in the starting lineup alongside Sam and Caitlin. For some reason you are nervous, even though you shouldn't be. You receive a text from Mapi of her decked out in your yellow jersey and dark green shorts.
Maps 🔥: not sure which one you're wearing so I'll wear both :) good luck out there mi amor, go qualify for the olympics <3 p.s. i love you princesa 😘❤️'.
You: we're wearing the yellow so your pants need to come off now? 😉 Thank you for watching mi amor, it means a lot ❤️ p.s.s. i love you too. talk after xx
With a boost of confidence, you walk out with your team and made sure you win. After the first half, Australia was still goalless, sam eas China. Going back on the pitch, everyone gives it their all then disater struck. China got a goal. 1-0. You gave Sam and Caitlin the look and you all work in overdrive. Meanwhile in the stands, Mapi was stressing. She knows how important this game and any Matildas games are to you. Normal game time finished and 4 extra minutes were added. You look up and see the extra time and yell to the girls. Within 2 minutes of that, you get a through ball from Caitlin and non one is around so you take a shot. You know it's going in but you check anyway and start running around like a crazy person. Alanna pushes you down and starts a dog pile. The game quickly restarts and then the whistle blows for full time. You wave out to the crowd and see the familiar neck tattoo. You run over to your mismatched girlfriend and hug her tightly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Wanted to surprise you princesa"
You respond by kissing her and pulling away before too many teammates saw.
"I fly out tomorrow. Are you coming with me?"
"Of course, I'll change the flight tonight"
"Meet me at the hotel and you can stay with me" Mapi nods and gives you a quick kiss before moving back for the fans to meet you.
Little do you know, your best friends were watching the whole interaction. You walk back to your friends and they start making kissy faces so you walk away, making them look like idiots.
Back at the hotel, Mapi is waiting texting you every minute if you're here. You get inside and spot her instantly. Mapi feels two arms go around her waist and a kiss on her cheek, she relaxes instantly.
"Ready for bed?"
"Let me get my bag from my room and I'll come?" You nod before telling her the room number. A small peck and she's off towards the elevator.
You feel a sharp slap on you back and you look towards Macca, giving her a death glare.
"I'll stay with Lani tonight"
"Thanks Macca"
After going up to your room, you see Mapi waiting outside. You sneak up on her again and she give you a hard glare. The door unlocks and Mapi walks in, dropping her bag at the foot of the messy bed. Since you showered at the stadium, you get straight in bed signalling mapi to join you. You quickly change Mapi's flights and she's now on the same flight back sitting next to you. You cuddle up to the Spaniard and try not to fall asleep.
"Bebé?" Mapi whispers.
"Hmm?"
"I want to post us" You open your eyes and look confused and the heavily tatted woman.
"You want to announce us on Instagram?" You confirm and Mapi nods. You show Mapi the photo that one of the staff had taken and sent to you. Mapi agrees and you post it.

Promissa Redux - Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Synopsis: At 32, divorced with a wonderful 5-year-old daughter, questions from your teenage years resurface. The fairy tales and romance novels painted a perfect picture after the "happily ever after," but reality begged to differ. Mrs. Jung was your title for two years, and you cherished it.
Life, however, took a detour far from the expected plotlines, lacking the dramatic twists of a superhero movie. The not-so-happily ever after unfolded with its share of uncertainties, tough decisions, and the consequences of chosen paths.
Now, holding an engagement ring box you stumbled upon, the questions about love, endings, and new beginnings arise again, demanding answers you must seek soon.
Warnings: minnors do not interact!, for this chapter we've got angst, sex, and curse words.
Pairing: jaehyun x f. reader
Word count: 2.400
Unauthorized copying or translation of this work is strictly prohibited.
----------- Preview, warnings and full synopsis here --------------------
Tumblr media
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - Shattered promises & Broken vows.
One day, you promised yourself, one day you're gonna wake up and forget what you once had, what you gave up. It will stop. You won't think about it every time you get a moment for yourself. But right now, you can still remember the choices you had to make.
You feel yourself coming down, orgasms are a good thing, you can't deny it, so you breathe with your nails buried deep in your boyfriend's back. Orgasms are good, they aren't always granted, they aren't always mind-blowing, but they relax you, they have the power of making sure you cannot think. Just enjoy the high, orgasms always tell you. And you listen.
You listen because it's either that or hear the voices in your head saying it will never make you feel the way he used to. It's either go all in or give in to the sadness that is always lurking in your heart, telling you what you can't hear. So, you go high, but you come down, and all you can think is... you need to pee.
Getting up with shaking legs is a light feeling, peeing when you just had sex is also relieving, but almost stumbling back to bed because you stomp on something is no good.
So, you say a small "Shit!" Yeah, you're a mom, and moms do curse, especially if your feet hurt because it feels like you stomped on a huge Lego piece.
Unfortunately, like a mom, you bend down to pick up the shit that made your feet hurt because that's what moms do. Only this time, your eyes pop out of your sockets once you remember that soft velvet boxes aren't Lego pieces.
Who is idiotic enough to leave a ring box on the floor????
It takes a peek of annoyance before you realize the following things: You have a boyfriend. He's lying on the bed butt naked. You took out his clothes right before he said you guys needed to talk. You were horny, so you said, "We’ll talk later." Now, there's a velvet ring box on your hand that must have fallen out of his pocket because his pants were just by it.
"Shit, shit, shit!" you chant in your head this time, so he doesn't see you freak out. Panicking, you start to get your clothes back on again, you can't find your panties yet, so you leave it and start to make it to the door, but before running you make sure to drop the ring box.
When you make it to the room door, you say it with a high-pitched nervous tone, "I have to go, something came up," while turning and shutting the door without waiting for an answer.
When you make it to the asphalt with your black car, cracking the windows down is a must, you need to breathe and can't make it long before having to stop and collect yourself. You're 32, for God's sake, a stupid ring box shouldn't scare you like this. But shit, it does.
Seven years ago, fear was the last thing on your head when he asked you to marry him, your brain…or is it your heart, remembers you…
But this time, rings, promises, and the possibilities of broken vows scare you. You can’t, you don’t deserve him. You can’t possibly think about making another vow after breaking one just like this.
Banging your head on the steering wheel once, twice, and still not feeling like yourself, you think about the only thing in this entire world that would make you stop thinking about yourself, and that’s your daughter, the beautiful Jung Nari.
So you decide to pick up your phone to look at the time, and start to feel more like yourself when you see a cute orange lily dangling thing tied to your phone case, it was your daughter's Mother's Day gift that she made in art class.
She knows her name is Nari, after lilies, your favorite flower, so anytime she can gift you something, even if it’s just a drawing, Nari makes sure there’s at least one orange flower in the midst. With the cold winter wind flowing through the window and the 10 p.m mark on your phone, you decide to make a call. Maybe if she’s still awake, you can cuddle.
There’s a ring, two, and a third when you listen to a small “Hello” coming in a woman’s voice you love too much.
“Hi, Mrs. Jung, it’s me.”
“I know, dear; is everything alright?”
You laugh still a bit shakily while saying, “Am I that transparent?”
“You’re an open book to me, dear, come home. Nari is still awake, and my back can’t take too many hours of her cuddling before she starts to kick me.”
That sounded like Nari, she just like you, was a kicker of sheets at night. Her father says that she is just like you, can’t calm down unless you’re spooned, and your feet feel warm. You had cold feet and his were always warm and perfectly at reach so you could tangle yours against them.
Shaking that thought away, you replied a quick “I’m going, see you soon” to your ex-mother-in-law, who most of the time felt more like a mom to you than your own.
That’s why you had to make the decisions you made, so you could keep Nari close to her family, the Jung family was your family as well. There was no denying that as much as you always felt you didn’t fit in South Korea, you at least felt at home with them, Mr. and Mrs. Jung and… with Jaehyun too.
You didn’t hate him, never did, probably never will.
He gave you something so beautiful, meaningful that you could never, ever, hate him for anything. It wasn’t hate, it wasn’t the lack of love that led you two to break up, but just the opposite. Loving him was too great, too big, too much, and it was hurting you so much that keeping your cries hidden was becoming a challenge the more Nari grew.
You couldn’t make this to her, you couldn’t even think about the possibility of her thinking her dad didn’t want her or her mother because you kept suffering. She was just a baby, she wouldn’t and shouldn’t understand. The only thing you wanted her to know was love.
A love so great so beautiful that even when the distance put an ocean between her and her dad, love would still ring louder in her head instead of any fear of not being loved. And that’s why you did what you did.
Jung Nari loved her dad, she felt safe with him, she called him when she needed him, and he would pick up in a heartbeat. You knew you made the right decision, so did he. He wouldn’t fault you for it too.
Making your way to your ex-in-law's house, the gate opened just as you pulled up. After parking your car next to the huge 6-bedroom house in the middle of an expensive, almost exclusive part of Seoul, you felt calm. Looking up while going up the outside stairwell next to Mrs. Jung's garden, you could see the pastel pink light of your daughter’s bedroom still lit.
Great, she was still awake, and you wanted to cuddle her to sleep. She could tangle her little feet with your legs, and you wouldn't mind the tiny cold pressed against yours.
You made your way inside, going straight to her bedroom. When you opened the door, your mother-in-law was just next to her bed on a chair, with a princess book in her hand.
"Oh, thank God you arrived. She wanted another story, but we both know she is almost falling asleep," your mother-in-law said.
"I don't want no sleepy granny," Nari whispered in a voice that sounded more like a sleepy murmur than a complaint.
Getting up with the princess book in hand, Mrs. Jung gave her a goodnight kiss on the forehead and said in a light tone, "Good night, Junnie. Your mom is going to sleep with you, okay?"
Shaking off your winter clothes and shoes, you made your way to your kid’s bed, spooning Nari. The first thing she did was place her cold, tiny cute feet pressed against your thigh.
Right now, you felt more like yourself than the whole day.
With her head pressing against your nose, you breathed in her strawberry shampoo and her own soft scent. With your bigger arms, you crossed her center and started to whisper.
“Time to sleep, beautiful.”
“But I want stories,” she replied with so much sleep in her voice that you had to contain a laugh.
“Tomorrow, mommy is gonna tell you two stories before tucking you into bed, but right now, it’s sleep time.” You pleaded through whispers.
She just hugged your arm and let out a small hum. She went so quiet for a while you thought that she had already slept.
“Do princesses get married two times, mommy?” Nari asked while turning in your arms.
Your heart was beating loud in your ribcage, could she know?
“Why do you ask that, sweetheart?”
“Mommy is a princess in my stories, but mommy is not married anymore.”
“Why is my baby thinking about all that? Mommy can still be a princess without a man, did you know?”
“I know, but someone evil will push you to get married to a prince, don’t do it.”
“Why not?”
“The only prince in my stories is dad, you can’t marry someone better than dad, or prettier.”
Holding back a laugh, you went with it to figure out her cute line of thought.
“Do I need to marry someone?”
“No, but it can't be a prince. No frog too! I hate frogs!”
“But why not a prince, aren't they the best ones?”
“No! Only dad! If you marry another prince, you'll forget about me, mommy!”
Your heart constricted in pain realizing where she was going.
“Mommy is never going to forget about you, sweetheart. How can I? Mommy needs you too.”
“But if mommy has another baby with a prettier prince, I won’t be beautiful anymore.”
“Jung Nari, my sweetheart, you could be covered in mud, but mommy would still think you're the prettiest thing she has ever seen.”
“I hate mud, mommy!”
“I know, beautiful.”
She went silent for a few seconds until she said.
“I’ll still be beautiful even muddy?”
“I swear it.”
She stopped again and went…
“O.K. now silent. I can’t sleep with you talking so much.”
Holding in your laugh, you just left kisses on her head and while letting your fingers drag along the dark honey-brown hair color she got from her father. This time, with a calmer heart, she fell asleep.
After a while with Nari’s feet pressed right against your tights, you realized you’ve had fallen asleep too, with careful movements, you were able to untangle yourself from your kid and tucked her in properly with the covers.
Getting your bag and winter coat, you left the bedroom trying to be as silent as possible. Glancing at the watch on your wrist you realized it was almost midnight.
You made it to the kitchen and while waiting for your glass of water to fill you heard footsteps.
“Is she asleep?” Asked your Mrs. Jung.
“Yeah, she did.”
Sitting down on the kitchen table, she looked at you with concern.
“What happened my child?”
You let out a small laugh, she was always very attentive, it was a trait Jaehyun inherited from her, and hopefully Nari would too, it made people around them feel seen and valued.
“Nothing, Mrs. Jung.”
She looked at you with reprimanding eyes, she always hated being called Mrs. Jung, instead of mom.
You breathed loudly and asked.
“How did you feel when Mr. Jung proposed?”
She looked a little taken aback for a minute but replied with a smile on her lips.
“I felt so happy I almost forgot to say eyes because he was so beautiful and looking at me like I was his entire world, it’s such an intense feeling when you realize you matter that much to a person.”
You were looking at her face, checks pink, eyes that screamed joy as like she was reliving the memory in her mind.
“What did you feel like?” She asked.
“You know how it was. You were there, I was crying so hard.” You laughed at the memory, Jaehyun was so nervous he thought you were crying out of sadness, you still remember his relieved face when you managed to breath a small yes between tears.
“I saw it, but I didn’t feel it…what did you felt at that moment?”
“I felt loved…I knew marring me was a big risk, I knew I came with a lot of expectancies and issues, being with me wasn’t goin to be easy or come at a cheap price, yet when he got on one knee I knew… I knew he loved me and saw me for what I was worth, I was crying but I don’t remember anything in my life at that point making me as happy as I was at that moment.”
When you finished, you had your answer.
“Did someone propose?” She asked.
“No.”
“Is someone going to?”
“Probably.”
“And what are you going to say?”
“I don’t know, all I know, it’s if I hesitate…” You couldn’t finish that sentence, what if you couldn’t say yes? What if never again in your life you could let someone in?
Mrs. Jung probably saw all the pain and confusion in your eyes, so she got up from her chair and came to you, pulling you in a hug, she was taller you, so she just let you slump against her and hug her back with yourself tucked like a child in her chest.
You started to cry, and for a while she didn’t say anything, she just let you be while running her fingers along your locks of hair.
After what if felt like at least 30 painful minutes she withdrew a bit and so did you, she looked in your eyes and said:
“You my child, deserve all the love in the world, the magic that comes with it. Don’t tell yourself otherwise, you’re worth it.”
Mom, yeah, you should really start calling her that again.

★ OVERVIEW
hi !! omg people acc simp for shidou 😟/j anyway you and shidou’s relationship would be so chaotic i think 😭 i feel like you guys are that one couple breaking up over the smallest things, and even as exes yall still have no idea what ‘no contact’ means. like, yall would be less than two weeks into the break up and shidou’s already calling your line asking you to link 🤦‍♀️ at first you always say no, but unfortunately you’re gonna give up sooner or later 🧍‍♂️ idk it’s just smth about the way he calls you cute nicknames ig 💘
Q5 — WHAT DO OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP ?
EVERONE thinks you guys are toxic. or a dangerous match. or both. sae’s waiting for the moment you realize this man has been gay all along (dw girl you never will ! but he definitely swings in more than one way.) anyway, every week you two are breaking up over the dumbest shit and your girl friends are TIRED of hearing it. everyday it’s “oh i broke up with him cuz he was liking some bitch’s posts” and then the next day it’s “nevermind guys we’re back together again.” safe to say your girls are sick and tired. truth is, you and shidou simply cannot stay away from each other. no matter how intense your fights get you always find a way back to one another, and ngl your mates (and shidou’s) are tired of it.
charles doesn’t take yall seriously either. he loves you actually, you’re his favorite ex of shidou (or girlfriend, depends on which day of the week it is) but even he doesn’t entertain shidou’s rants about you anymore. he used to LOVE the gossip, but now he just rolls his eyes.
“yall will be back together by tuesday, give it a rest gang.”
Q12 — WHAT DO THEY NOT LIKE ABOUT YOU ?
your trust issues (which are 100% not your fault btw!!) you were actually really trusting initially, always giving shidou the benefit of the doubt. but shidou got an inch and took a mile. he’s never actually cheated, but you always catch him in some girl’s likes or tiktok comments saying “lemme eyp” 💀💀 GIRL IM SO SORRY but like this is shidou 😭 also he’s definitely the kind of guy who reposts hot girls on his fyp i fear 💔 anyways once u confronted him abt all that it stopped, but you occasionally catch him in a girl’s likes from time to time. stuff like that is usually the cause of your fights, and it’s lead to you not trusting him. you’re skeptical about nearly everything he says and does and you NEVER cut him slack. you stand on business (sometimes). if he pisses you off he gets a good scolding followed by silence. no contact at all. but after a while you unfortunately miss your ex and find your way back 💔
honestly, i don’t think shidou does any of the stuff he does to be unfaithful or weird. i genuinely think he’s just been single for a long time and so his every media is just saturated with inappropriate pics of women 😭 you open his insta and his discovery pages is filled with bikini models and only fans promoters. sometimes he absentmindedly likes a few. if shidou were to reset his tiktok and insta trust me you’ll never catch him in anybody’s likes ever again. fuck is he looking for with randoms on the internet when he’s got you ?
Q13 — WHAT DO THEY LOVE MOST ABOUT YOU ?
how assertive you are. he finds it irresistibly hot when you tell him no. shidou’s no stranger to easy girls. back when he was still single, he had a whole roster of pretty girls who’d do anything he asked. but you’re different; you live by your own rules, you see shidou when it’s convenient for you, when you feel like it. sometimes, depending on your mood you treat him like he doesn’t even exist and heaven knows it drives him crazy. he’s not used to having a girl who treats him like an option and damn does it make him worship you. you’re kinda like sae in that aspect actually, and he’s every bit as obsessed with you as he is with the red head.

BnHA Chapter 408: Orphaned Cryptid to Billionaire Supervillain
Previously on BnHA: HE WAS BORN AN ARROGANT BABY.
Today on BnHA: Horikoshi decides he’s going to cover the rest of the AFO/OFA saga in the span of just seven pages, the majority of which are mostly just filled with lovingly detailed closeups of AFO and Kudou’s eyes. Back in the present day, Kid For One takes a couple of seconds to trample the last of the “Kacchan is OFA II or is related to OFA II” theories into the dust, and is then all “fuck it, I’ll just take him out with one last spectacularly grotesque supermove.” Kacchan is all “lol you fucking dipshit”, and he says it with such confidence that it truly makes me believe he can defeat AFO’s “ALL THE QUIRKS EVER!!” attack with his piddly little exploding bloodsweat quirk. AND IT WILL BE A SIGHT TO SEE.
interesting!
Tumblr media
Yoichi’s name btw is written with the kanji 与 which means “bestow” or “give”, and 一 which means “one.” so basically “one who gives”, which is fitting as the creator of OFA, but also fits in with this new context of being the first “possession” bestowed upon AFO
oh yes and also AFO I guess has just torn his brother to shreds or something too. idk. I’m going to be honest with you guys, this panel has such a surreal vibe that I just sat here blinking stupidly at it and wasn’t even shocked or anything. like what. is he dreaming this?? or did he really just make a “STOP! IN THE NAAAAME OF LOVE” gesture and in doing so remove half of his brother’s jaw
ewww
Tumblr media
idk what’s wrong with me today guys. AFO just disintegrated Yoichi, and Kudou and and OFA Tres (who apparently still doesn’t have a name???? freaking Kudou got named before you??) are literally RIGHT THERE and presumably horrified, and all I can think about is how fucking gross it is that they’re all hanging out in a fucking sewer
oh shit y’all it’s about to go down
Tumblr media
he can’t kill Kudou right off the bat can he? does Kudou even know he has OFA yet? are we going to see him transfer it to OFA III? I’m so fucking excited omg
LOL WHAT
Tumblr media
“weirdly matte” omg. so apparently he’s like All Might, where the “he’s just drawn differently” thing is something people actually acknowledge in-story. “yeah he actually has no pupils. that’s a real thing. technically that should mean he can’t see since pupils are what let light into your eyes, but don’t worry about that part. just know that his eyes canonically look weird to the story people as well, and everyone is creeped out by it, not just you”
yeah he’s actually blind
Tumblr media
so he literally can’t see outside himself. way to lay those metaphors on thick, Horikoshi
(ETA: this is my “just in case my impeccably dry wit doesn’t translate well across the internet” ETA to assure everyone I know he’s not actually blind lol.)
now we’re cutting to some random city where AFO is broodingly staring at Yoichi’s severed hand because he’s perfected the art of always doing incredibly unsettling things
Tumblr media
I cannot believe the fucking hands thing has an actual origin story. of course it does. this man has never done a single hinged thing in his life. it’s all unhinged or bust. am I talking about AFO or Horikoshi? YOU DECIDE
he’s sitting at a table with a bottle of wine holding his dead brother’s embalmed severed limb and thinking about fucking quirk shit
Tumblr media
so your transformation from Orphaned Cryptid to Billionaire Supervillain happened almost completely offscreen huh. I’m kinda disappointed, ngl. I could have read a few more chapters about that. maybe a spinoff miniseries
WAIT WHAT
Tumblr media
are you serious. we finally get a panel that’s INCREDIBLY RELEVANT to pretty much ALL OF MY BNHA THEORIES, only for that same panel to contradict itself ONE SPEECH BUBBLE LATER?? so what is the truth???
omg omg omg
Tumblr media
so many fucking questions, omg. what the hell does “through research” even mean. how did he confirm Yoichi’s quirklessness, and why did he later change his mind? how the fuck can Yoichi have a quirk factor and yet not have an actual quirk. “it was just so weak it didn’t count or something I guess” okay??? how much of this is unreliable narrator vs. the word of god? how is it we’re getting so many answers and yet all I have is more fucking questions you guys
BRUE?CE?CEE??!
Tumblr media
bruce
Tumblr media
Kudou is so goddamned hot. I hope you washed the hell out of that arm wound after getting it all covered in sewage you stupid sexy man
I can’t get over Three’s name. “idk if anyone noticed, but it’s kind of a subtle homage to another very famous superhero” Horikoshi your nap wasn’t long enough, please go home
also love how Bruce is talking shit about OFA being a puny loser quirk for wimps. how the fuck do they even know what’s going on, anyway? was there a tutorial???
Tumblr media
oh you just had a feeling huh??? that it was “something like this”, huh??? how is it that I, who knows all about OFA because I’m from the future and have read 408 chapters of this nonsense, am somehow still less in the know than this handsome clown who doesn’t know shit but just “had a feeling”
(ETA: while editing this post I noted that Bruce is sitting in front of a computer in what seems to be some sort of medical lab, so maybe they ran some tests or something? except that only makes me more confused, because it implies they didn’t actually figure out OFA’s workings via convenient plot instincts. so then how the fuck did they figure out the transfer process?? questions)
meanwhile AFO is sitting in the panel next to him whining about how someone stole Yoichi’s quirk. excuse you. he did not steal it. it was in fact a gift
these flashbacks are all jumbled up and it’s unexpectedly fun to read, but also really chaotic
Tumblr media
I guess he’s talking to Kudou on the right and AFO on the left
so many intense closeups of eyes in this chapter oh my goodness
Tumblr media
Horikoshi even drew the individual goddamn eyelashes. this looks like the margins of someone’s notebook from when they were really bored in middle school
oh my god the information overload!!!
Tumblr media
so much for AFO actually feeling emotions lol. or is he just lying to himself about why he cried. that delicious ambiguity
so we don’t even get a flashback explaining how the transfer actually happened?? to either Kudou OR my beloved Bruce?? goddamn you Horikoshi. omg I would seriously kill for more of this. make a movie about it. I want the OFA origin story prequel movie damn it
I like how AFO just sits there on a throne holding court with a single tiki torch beside him for aesthetic reasons
I can’t quite figure out how he killed Banjou and I’m not sure I really want to know. it looks very violent
friendly reminder that Shinomori is Sir Not Appearing In This Flashback because he’s the only OFA user who died of natural causes! good for you Shinomori. En probably wishes he was more like you
poor En
was Nana just taking a stroll or something one day and stumbled across this epic fight with the evilest man on the planet vs some kid in a trenchcoat, and then the poor kid got bisected and he looked at her and he was all “please eat my hair” and she was just like “ok”?
OH WOW
Tumblr media
what a transition omg
LOLLLLLLLL
Tumblr media
you know, part of me always wondered how All Might was so certain he’d killed AFO that he apparently never bothered to confirm it. but looking at this panel now, I can understand
fjjfdzjgf
Tumblr media
he’s sweating so much. like “okay yeah he punched the top of his face off, this is pretty bad but I’LL DO MY BEST”
BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY AWW SHUCKS
Tumblr media
so let’s recap. over on Kacchan’s side we have “GOTTA USE THE PAIN TO WIN!!!” haha ouch. and then over here on KFO’s side we have. whatever the fuck we just experienced over these past two chapters. so basically it’s a battle between the two most deranged characters in the entire series. glorious sweet chaos
DSFJKSLDKGJL he’s now trying to figure out how the fuck they look so much alike and whether they’re actually related
Tumblr media
“no, that can’t be it. so then maybe... this kid grows up and then somehow travels back in time...?!” HE’S JUST LIKE US FR
so now he’s saying it’s because Kacchan didn’t have character development yet the last time, but now that he does his eyes are all Full Of Determination just like Kudou’s and so we’ve basically come full circle!
Tumblr media
transcended WHAT? :O :D :D omg I’m kidding you guys please don’t hurt me
lol
Tumblr media
actually the more we learn about Kudou the less I personally see the resemblance now lol. because Kudou seems so calm and collected, but Kacchan is just... [gestures to literally everything about Kacchan]
so AFO’s trying to strategize, but he can’t warp Kacchan away because the only available targets are too close and he’s still got that SUPERSPEED, BOYO so it wouldn’t make a difference. lol but if you kept doing it repeatedly it might be kind of funny though
and he can’t keep fighting him either because he’s getting his ass whooped and it’s speeding up his de-aging or whatever. well you could just give up then I guess. your call, AFO
oh was that your plan?
Tumblr media
spoiler alert for me lol. but it’s not exactly shocking or anything since he’s dying, guess he wants to abandon ship
(ETA: just FYI for anyone reading this who’s not familiar with my dumbassery, I have currently only read chapters 1 through 374 at this point in time, before skipping ahead to 403 because Kacchan came back and I lost all willpower. I am working on catching up with the rest!)
oh so now you did come up with a strategy?
Tumblr media
lmao what the FUCK
Tumblr media
how much of this is going to be clearer to me once I finish the chapters that I missed, and how much of it is just plain old “nope this is all brand new zero-context BnHA bullshit” lol. this looks like every single quirk AFO ever absorbed combined into one gigantic horrifying blob that forced Horikoshi to take an extra week just to draw it
oh my god!?
Tumblr media
Kacchan hovering there bravely facing all this is giving me Gandalf “you shall not pass” vibes and I’m LIVING FOR IT
so either AFO is going to kill Kacchan for the second time right here and now, or he’s going to fail and turn back into a squishy evil baby fdslfjkls
love how All Might is all “DODGE IT YOUNG BAKUGOU!” thanks for the warning, champ. doing his part
more exploding bloodsweat closeups. are these just going to be a mainstay of Kacchan fights from now on
“are you stupid?”, when faced with [gestures to the entirety of the previous page], is possibly the best line ever uttered by anyone in the series. even better than the polite “coming through” uttered only seconds before it
ah man. you love to see it. he literally doesn’t even care. HE ALREADY DIED ONCE TODAY, AND IT CLUED HIM IN TO THE FACT THAT HE’S A MAIN CHARACTER AND ACTUALLY IMMUNE TO DEATH. sorry AFO it’s curtains for you. CURTAINS

Hello! Can I request Starscream with a reader who loves video games, especially older "retro" ones please?
Anon you have waited so long, please accept this humble word train of inconveivale proportions, becuase this went from 'haha Screamy vs tetris' to 'holy shit I can't stop typing-'
Starscream x RetroGamer!Reader
HA!
Such primitive, meagre entertainment. How can you engage in something barely even fit for newsparks??
Yeah, Starscream is waving his ��technological-race superiority’ around again. You’ve long since learned to roll your eyes, tune him out and turn the tinny volume on your console to maximum just to annoy him.
For all that he snorts and rolls his optics and waxes lyrical about how his games were played in high-speed roulette 5D stratospheric-chess - or whatever - you don’t fail to smugly notice how his wings twitch in time with the music. (Don’t bring it up or he’ll screech about how he can’t get the bouncy little tunes out of his head at 3am. It’s not worth your eardrums.)
And when he DOES pay attention, he’s the kind to aggressively backseat drive.
What’s worse, is that after breathing down your neck and screeching at you to “Jump HIGHER-” (Mario Bros is a relationship tester), he’ll cluck his tongue and smarmily coo at your game over screen until you finally snap and shove the comparatively tiny controller in his face.
The affronted shock lasts a millisecond before he huffs and says such childish little things are beneath him. Obviously.
Your petty revenge is to chat obnoxiously loud to Knockout and spread a rumour on the Nemesis that the Mighty Commander Starscream is too outdated to try anything new, clearly, I mean he’s just so old-
- much screeching shouting and scratched paintjobs later, you find out that he’s simply downloaded the games into his brain and fully intended to not breathe a word to you about it apparently until you died. Prideful bastard.
He HAD intended to tell you, but only after he had gotten an impossibly high score to beat so he could rub it in your cute squishy face.
In a beautifully ironic twist of fate, being as advanced as cybertronians are, the highly simple nature of most retro games actually renders them incompatible, like trying to run a floppy disk through a hadron collider. So while yes Star can play tetris on his break, he cannot simply blitz the levels as expected and call it a day, because the old games have such simple parameters in comparison to how he usually operates.
So he has to actually play.
With no instructions because of course this high strung high maintenance metal bird could not possibly deign to ask you how to play first. That would be demeaning. And he won’t google it either.
You can sit in smug, satisfied peace as you watch him slowly tick through several layers of frustration: wings twitching, claws tapping, optics whizzing to focus on platforms and little 8 bit enemies you can’t see.
But Starscream is still the Second in Command of the Decepticons. And the Decepticons have very stringent security measures.
Soundwave fucking manifesting outside your window one evening was enough to have you pray to every god you’ve ever heard of. Inscrutable, all knowing fucking Soundwave. You regret every conversation you’ve ever had on the Nemesis, oh god your house is probably bugged-
His face screen flickers to life. You blink, as a live stream of the Nemesis command deck appears.
You have, by dint of hanging around too much and a few close encounters with the Autobots, seen cybertronians on the battlefield before. It is nothing compared to the later levels of Pacman on the Nemesis bridge at 1 am.
Soundwaves inscrutable smiley face emoji pings your phone, almong with a simple, translated glyph.
“More? :)”
PS-
Soundwave is Pacman god. Knockout has a soft spot for the Mario games. Starscream fucking loves Galaxian and will die before he ever tells you this. Shockwave, logically, finds Tetris soothing.
Megatron plays pong on his throne sometimes when his usual brooding gives way to inevitable drug induced boredom. It spaces his eyes out to either side nearly completely. Starscream has screenshots of his gormless mug taped to his hab wall to shoot on occasion.

Holy crap, Prince of Death is such a tour de force! The attention to detail, the world-building, the intense drama, the raw emotions - it's all just stunning. 
Admittedly, I know almost nothing about DBZ, and you've done a fantastic job weaving just enough background into the narrative for the uninitiated while making it your own for this universe at the same time. The blend of fantasy and sci-fi on display is so yummy and rich to devour.
And Max just needs the biggest hug, ugh. At least he's together with Charles... (for now?!) - tho, I can already picture the angst and drama ahead when Max wakes up - poor thing bears the weight of duty so heavily and personally (and honorably).
And Alonso - omg!! Love how he calls Max out for his shit, protects him, teaches him, just - everything about him in his role in this AU is gold.
Hopefully Carlos stops being a little punk - maybe once he realizes that Alonso has also sent his prince to the same destination that he set for Charles (which I'm dying to see where that it is, btw - with pop culture in my head, I can see anything from Dagobah to Hoth to Vormir to... even Mars lol - whatever you choose, I know it will be great), or once Carlos has an inevitable reconciliation and he sees just compatible Max & Charles truly are... such potential! ✨
I did have higher hopes for George, ugh. He should know better than to follow in his master's vile footsteps, but otherwise, he makes for a rich villain. And that's to say nothing of Jos - you've done an excellent job making him truly repulsive with his physical & emotional abuse in the name of controlling Max. And I absolutely cannot wait for him to get his just deserts - to be on the receiving end of Max letting the full force of his power loose, hair & eyes flaming as he unleashes raw fury - oh, please, please, let it be so! (Tho, no matter how Jos goes down, it will still be infinitely rewarding).
... okay, this got way longer than I thought, so my apologies 🤭 But in short, this fic is just outta-this-world stellar. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to reading more ❤🚀
Hello there!
I've really tried my hardest to explain things thoroughly and adapt the universe to make it my own, so I'm glad people aren't like . . . wtf are you talking about? 😅
Alonso is so amazing and fit this roll perfectly in my head, I'm glad it's translating on paper. While he's not Max's or Charles' real dad, he's the father they both deserve.
Carlos is in for some major transformation of character in part 2 as well as George. Those two need some growth and perspective, and they will be getting both (for better or worse) as the story goes on.
I'm so glad you mentioned the little sneak peak I gave for Max's potential in ch 12! I didn't get a lot of comments on it, but in his rage and grief, trying to protect himself, he tapped into something that he will need to find again later. Now, did he find it because it was about Charles? Or has he always had it and just couldn't break through 👀 Regardless, there will be more exploration in part 2.
Max is having the hardest time the poor baby! But you are right . . . when he wakes up 👀 He is so confused lol. In fact, enjoy a little piece:
A soft surface beneath him felt strangely comforting against his back, but the sight of the stars whizzing by outside the familiar red-tinted glass disoriented him. 
The robotic feminine voice of the scouting pod continued to drone on in the background, its words barely registering as Max struggled to make sense of the situation. 
“. . . initiating vapor bath reversal protocol. You are now one parsec away from your destination. . . ”
Limbs moving slowly, body trying to regain control, Max felt the seat surface behind him gently rise, before lowering again. His heart skipped a beat as he realized he was in the scouting pod meant for Charles to flee Jos’ base ship.
Stunned, Max whipped around to discover that the soft surface his back had been resting against was Charles’ chest, still moving gently with each slow breath. 
Relief flooded through him when he spotted the Eldri resting behind him, still unconscious, but seemingly unharmed.
His relief was short-lived, when the memories of the launch deck came rushing back.

Inumaru Touma Rabbitube Mini - Rabbit Chat
Tumblr media
Please note that I am not a professional translator and I'm only doing this to share the side materials to those who cannot access them, if you notice any mistakes please let me know nicely. Enjoy!
Inumaru Touma: Thanks for your hard work! I’m messaging because I have a question for you two
Inumaru Touma: It's not urgent, so please reply whenever you have time!
Inumaru Touma:
Tumblr media
Rokuya Nagi: Hi, Mister Inumaru. I'm in invincible mode now that I won the gacha. I'll gracefully respond to any questions you might have.
Yuki: There are lives that can be saved with such trivial rabbichatting.
Rokuya Nagi: Translation: He’s probably in the middle of composing. Sougo sometimes comes to the living room and stares at us with a face like a bodhisattva.
Inumaru Touma: What?! Are you okay!?
Yuki: I’m fine. Does Minami-kun ever enter composition hell mode?
Inumaru Touma: Oh, not sure. Minami tends to eat more than usual when composing so maybe that’s that?
Yuki: Maybe he just doesn’t show it when he struggles. It could be a good distraction, so send him a message.
Inumaru Touma: Got it...! Then I'll ask the question right away!
Inumaru Touma: So for the Rabbimini celebration, should we wear suits?
Inumaru Touma: We've reserved a high-end French restaurant to match the theme, so I'm wondering if it’d be best to dress formally for the occasion…
Rokuya Nagi: Hm, I see. I have a suit that I recently had tailored at a friend's store and it’s almost done, so I’ll be wearing that!
Rokuya Nagi: It's not an overly formal restaurant, so I think it's okay to be a little casual :-) 
Yuki: Not a big fan of tight suits either so I won't wear something too formal. It’s all about the silhouette, right?
Inumaru Touma: Somewhat casual, all about the silhouette... Oh shit, now I'm even more confused!! I'm not used to this kind of thing 😭
Inumaru Touma: I asked Tora earlier, and he advised me to "be confident and go for burgundy”... Ain't that too flashy…?
Yuki: Burgundy is nice. It suits you
Rokuya Nagi: Oh, a passionate color!
Rokuya Nagi: Since it's a private room, you don't have to worry too much. We could do a little fashion show with the theme of "What to wear to a French restaurant"! 🤩
Inumaru Touma: A fashion show!?
Yuki: Wait a minute. That would put me at a pretty huge disadvantage
Rokuya Nagi: Oh, then how about a green suit? I think you’ll look great in one!
Yuki: I don't have a green suit... I’ll bring Re:vale goods and accessories though...
Inumaru Touma: Hold on you’re joking right?! Please don't look so disappointed! 😆💦
Yuki: Touma-kun, have I ever joked before?
Inumaru Touma: Uh…well...
Inumaru Touma: N-no, you haven't… right...?
Yuki:
Tumblr media
Rokuya Nagi: The key to succeed is to bring out the celebrity within you >:-P
Inumaru Touma: But I still gotta compete against real celebs… 😨
Inumaru Touma: Okay, I'll bring a fan like in Rabbimini! It looks sophisticated!
Yuki: Good idea. How about some sharp-looking sunglasses while you're at it
Inumaru Touma: For sure! A burgundy suit with a fan and sunglasses! The final boss of fashion! ✨
Yuki: Will you dance with the fan again?
Inumaru Touma: Of course ‼ It's a fashion show ‼
Yuki: !.,
Rokuya Nagi: Cut! Mister Yuki seems to have reached his limit.
Yuki: Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh imagining it. You don't have to dance. Just bring the funny fan and sunglasses.
Inumaru Touma: You're calling them funny goods now! It was a joke after all huh lol
Rokuya Nagi: It's a joke, please wear whatever you want to wear 😎
Rokuya Nagi: My friend Thorvald suggested a Japanese restaurant that suits this launch’s theme perfectly. It’s a surprisingly nice place.
Rokuya Nagi: and takes Mister Yuki's dining preferences into consideration ☺
Inumaru Touma: Wow, I see! I'm amazed that Rabbimini is followed by such important people! Please convey my gratitude!
Yuki: Thor-chan, you're the best. I'll hold a fan and put on a fashion show.
Rokuya Nagi: I’ll tell you about the show later :-))))
Inumaru Touma: But I'm just a commoner, I might get too nervous to appreciate it! 😂
Yuki: Back in our indie days, Momo and I lived on bean sprouts every day. It's okay.
Inumaru Touma: W-were you struggling that bad..!?
Yuki: Well I learned efficient ways to grow bean sprouts at that time.
Rokuya Nagi: Bean sprouts, the mysterious beans that grow back even when you cut them!
Rokuya Nagi: They looked cute, so Riku named one "Myo-chan" and raised it in the dorm.
Inumaru Touma: Myo-chan, huh! my mom use to grow them too!
Yuki: Momo told me that talking to plants makes them grow well, so we used to say things like "You look beautiful today" and "You’re growing up brimming with health, did you fall in love with someone" to it every single day. It grew into a splendid pea pond.
Rokuya Nagi: Wow, I’m going to change the way I look at Myo-chan from here on out. It supported Re:vale greatly 🥺
Inumaru Touma: Wait, did your bean sprouts really turn into pea ponds?! They're completely different!
Rokuya Nagi: YES! It's kinda like card evolutions in games.
Yuki: I wonder why the ones in Touma-kun’s house didn’t evolve.
Inumaru Touma: I didn't know!!!! I didn't like peas when I was a kid!
Inumaru Touma: I heard that the insides are seeds so I thought they’d grow in my stomach lol but now I know they don’t lolol
Yuki: They sure do.
Inumaru Touma: Huh?
Yuki: Nagi-kun.
Rokuya Nagi: OH,,
Rokuya Nagi: In ancient Europe, there was a story about some people who became millionaires by extracting beans that grew in their stomachs and exchanging them for money or something like that.
Inumaru Touma: Seriously?
Yuki: Most of them get digested, but there are extremely rare cases where they remain and grow inside the body. They don't affect your health either.
Inumaru Touma: Whaaaat!!!!!!!!!
Yuki: Isn’t that a dream come true.
Inumaru Touma: Myo-chan is too amazing?!?!
Rokuya Nagi: It's been researched for years by the "World Peas Association” but it hasn't been completely understood yet, or something like that.
Inumaru Touma: Wow, what's up with that association!?
Yuki: Nice one, Nagi-kun.
Rokuya Nagi: I’m working overtime to support my seniors.
Inumaru Touma: I'm in the dressing room with Mina, so I'll ask if he knows about the association!
Yuki: ah
Rokuya Nagi: Senpai's fun time is over:-P
Inumaru Touma: Mina just told me “aren't you the only one who doesn't know that name" !!!! everyone knows about it!!
Rokuya Nagi: Mister Natsume...
Yuki: Sorry, Touma-kun, Nagi-kun. Let's end it here.
Inumaru Touma: End???
Yuki: The thing about beans growing inside the stomach and the association are jokes. But thanks to Nagi-kun playing along we sounded really believable
Inumaru Touma: Eh, there's no association?! But Mina said he knew about it
Inumaru Touma: Ah—- Mina is giggling lolololol
Rokuya Nagi: I apologize. Mister Inumaru believed everything too easily.
Yuki: Nagi-kun, your mind works fast.
Inumaru Touma: So I can eat peas peacefully?! 😭✨
Yuki: Eat plenty
Rokuya Nagi: Mister Yuki, your mood seems to have improved for the composition 😌
Inumaru Touma: I see!!! so that's how it is !!!! That's why you also played along, Rokuya!
Inumaru Touma: If I could be of help to you, Mister Yuki, then I'm glad !! If Mina seems to be struggling, I'll try doing the same thing!
Yuki: Everyone is kind and nice
Rokuya Nagi: What about Mister Natsume? How will you deal with his mood changes?
Inumaru Touma: Let me think
Inumaru Touma: There's a group conducting surveys on ramen lovers, udon lovers, and soba lovers, or something ‼ Mina would probably be surprised, right!?
Rokuya Nagi: Hm, it might create some rivalry, but maybe Mister Natsume needs that kind of stimulation.
Yuki: I’ll keep an eye on him.
Inumaru Touma: Man, I'm so looking forward to it! The celebration and Mina's surprise! 😆😆
Rokuya Nagi: I'm starting to feel nervous.
Yuki:

I think I said I'll give my thoughts about Keith's biography when I'm done with it and I'm almost done. Only afterthoughts left to read, but I've read all about his life and it was devastating to see how much of a wreck he was at the very end. Longer talks under the cut - and additionally, if the anon bitch is scouting my blog, feel free to read it as well and shit yourself in the process
Either way, my dears, read if you're interested 💜
@jimmysdragonsuit13 I think you'll be interested!
And @burn-on-the-flame I think you've asked about the opinion on the biography? Wait, let me search *a few seconds later* Yep, it was you! Come and read my thoughts about the book, if you want 💜
So, since the day one of my dear mutuals @m-faithfull told me about Keith's biography by Tony Fletcher in the last year, I was persistent to get it. I had hopes that maybe it was translated to Polish, but as it turns out, probably only Pete's autobiography was so I ended facing the fact that I will have to read it in English. And that meant paying an insane amount of money for a new copy (120 zloties for a book! - around 31,39$ or 23,75£)
But one day I thought to search for an used copy, hoping that maybe some poor sod bought it before me and to my surprise there were two copies, one for 40 zloties (10,46$ or 7,92£) and second for 30 zloties (7,85$ or 5,94£). I opted for the 40 zloties one, knowing what state can used copies of books be. The lower the price the more possibility of it having missing pages, the cover torn off etc etc. Here came my bestie @juliearchery107 who wanted to buy me it for birthday, she did, we've met at 14th of August and since I've stepped my foot in the flat and got everything answered, started to read it.
And oh dear Lord is that book a rollercoaster!
It starts innocently - if we skip the foreword, which hints that it'll not be an easy read - introducing Keith as the charming child who was up for jokes, the one who later stopped attending school and wandered about until he got his first drum kit, had a few lessons on how to play them, joined Beachcombers and from there went to The Who to the band that meant everything for him, to then find the girl he fell for like you do when you first fall in love while finding your soulmate, following with showing a possessive and nasty jealousy towards her, fucking things up in their marriage, becoming so abusive that she finally left him, which lead to depression, more alcohol, more drugs, which then started to develop in very serious problems, them piling up in Los Angeles to the level of Keith becoming a wreck by the end in 1978, in the meantime, finding support in his girlfriend - who I have to say, I'm thankful that she was there for him even if I know how impossibly difficult it was for her.
The way things went down in his life can be traced precisely with this book and that just shows how incredibly well put it is and how the narration is not in any way subjective, but objective almost through the entire reading - foreword has author's thoughts and the afterthoughts, but that is a given. Yet, I have to praise such objectivity, because a lot of biography authors cannot help themselves but write their subjective opinions, pushing their perspective onto readers, instead of showing facts and trying to find one possible outcome of a situation that has various versions - and with Keith and the myths that are told about him, it was a hell of a work. It also shows sometimes that author is sentimental to a lot of things, as being stated in foreword that he himself is a fan of Keith and let's be honest. There's no one better to write a book about an idol then a long time fan who's dedication will never burn out.
As for my thoughts... The first 300+ pages were okay to read. I had a blast, laughing at various points, even going as far to share one of the moments that was the most funny to me on his birthday. But the last 200+ pages? Oh dear Lord... Just oh dear Lord.
Just by the photos I have a TON of I could realise that Keith was a wreck in 1978, but I've never fucking expected it to be this bad. I knew about the drug abuse, knew about the alcohol abuse as well, but I didn't expect it to be that bad - to the point of having a few attempts on rehab, failing at them, proceeding to have alcoholic paranoia, fucking seizures because of the withdrawal, insecurities, self-confidence, self-worth teared to shreds, memory almost gone - it's very typical for alcoholic to say one thing and then forget about it 5 seconds later and them saying: "I didn't say that" - depression, maniacal depression even appearing later on, developing a split personality disorder, being unable to be controlled by anyone while the fits of anger were appearing more and more frequently, cheating getting out of hand and I could go on and on AND ON.
Reading about all of this and not being able to tell you, or even not being able to take pictures of fragments to send to bestie to let her see how bad it was because I would have to scan those 200+ pages to let her understand the circumstances should say a lot. Never did I like any mentions of Keith relocating to Los Angeles and for a good reason. That city only made it far worse for him and his tale there only shows that maybe, just maybe, letting your dreams come true ain't that fun as you expect them to be. Some might be, but in most cases, they aren't. You always gotta keep going, always have a goal in front of you to keep going and if you reach the end of the road - like Keith did many times throughout the tale - you might just realise "That's it? Nothing else?" and not know what to do with yourself.
Additionally, this was double hard for me to read, because at the beginning of March I've lost a dear friend of mine. It was a tumblr friendship, I'm talking about Anja here - she went by the url whothefuckisanja - and I often joked with her that her alcohol problem - it was severe, very very severe - is similar to Keith's and as it turns out, my jokes about that were brutally real. She also developed drug addiction later on as well and her life started to fade away slowly, very slowly. I only recently, a few months ago, realised that I saw her happiness fade away, realising also that that one day where she thanked me for being her best friend the entire year - our friendship lasted a full year - being grateful as to no one else before that that was her silent goodbye and a solid thank you, before she met the same fate as Keith, only much much earlier. And I'm not exaggerating about "the same fate". She wanted to go sober, as I heard. Pills did it for her, she fell asleep and never woke up again.
She once said to me, because I was there, wanting to help her with her growing alcohol problem that got worse at December, even if it were only futile tries through text: "Don't try to help an alcoholic" and I might add to it "because it'll leave you exhausted and terrified while you see the beloved one become a wreck."
I can say that what I've read about Keith I've almost experienced with her. She was very similar to him in many ways, not only addiction wise, but she was also very fun to be around, very easy to be befriended, generous beyond belief, creative and most of all, a good person at heart. So this reading journey was almost like a reflection of the year from March 2023 to March 2024. I remember now that she once joked that she's Keith Moon reborn and damn you, you bastard if you were right.
But I also have to get back on track and say this: even if I said all of this above, I somehow felt that it was way to familiar. Not like with what I said about Anja, but more like "I lived through that" kind of way. I didn't feel this throughout the entire tale, but at the last 200+ pages I did, especially when the seizures started appearing. In the last year, when I wrote my first fic with me and him - not published - I pondered if he had any alcohol withdrawal symptoms and I somehow guessed the depression, insecurities, insomnia problem and seizures. I have no idea how I knew that, I just did, implementing them in the fic.
Could be a coincidence, but there are too many with him in my life. Yet, there was a moment where I've stopped reading. It was right at the end, at the description of the funeral, at the date of it, which is 13th of September, according to the book.
A year ago, on September, while listening to random songs on spotify, suddenly "Love ain't for keeping" started playing. I looked at who it was, saw The Who and I was tempted to give "Who's next" album a listen - I was taking small steps to giving them a good listen from May, but this was the final push. That was on 11th of September.
I wanted to listen to "Who's next" on 12th of September, but I somehow hadn't. I could have been busy, but I know for sure I somehow forgot about it and moved listening to the next day. On night from 12th of September to 13th of September I had a dream with Keith, from which I only remember that we've talked about something. Keith was very happy, overjoyed even and all of a sudden he started pinching my cheeks, wanting to make me laugh, which he succeeded at.
And then on 13th of September I've finally listened to "Who's next", my obsession truly started and then a voice in my head saying "Welcome home" was heard by me. It was a male's voice, speaking fluent English.
True, I was waiting for a moment that will make me stop in my tracks and like during the documentary I've watched about Keith, where I've got a grasp of his behaviour, I had to pause the video with the realisation that his behaviour was something I knew somehow, but I didn't expect to get obsessed about The Who and Keith at the exact date his funeral took place.
You may call me delusional, I don't care. It's just there's too many coincidences with him appearing in my life at certain moments that I start believing these are not mere coincidences - if certain ghost will start appearing at the beginning of September, as I took notice he did for the past two years, I will flip!
In conclusion, I love the book, will read it to the end tomorrow probably. I've cried at the end, less than the first time I heard about Keith's death, but I did. This book only made me love him even more and I truly will never stop loving him.
This is the exact image of my feelings to him after reading about his life - I'm the tiny pumpkin, answering on the question:

hey guys want to help me write?
i started writing this awhile back and now i'm revisiting and i cannot recall Where i was going with this. SO!! it could be fun if you guys let me know what you would like to happen/where you see this going!!
Steve Harrington’s been different ever since he came back.
No shit, idiot, Eddie berates himself, pretending not to stare at Harrington from across the library. Not that Harrington would notice. It’s other people he’s worried about. Staring at Steve Harrington is a popular pastime at Hawkins High now, popular enough that Eddie can’t allow himself to be caught partaking.
The story goes like this:
Julia Davis was sitting in the emergency room at Hawkins Memorial waiting for her brother to get a cast on his arm after he fell off his bike. It was taking a long time, and she hates hospitals, so she decided to take a walk outside around the parking lot just for something to do. Here’s where Eddie knows the story’s at least a little bit bullshit; Julia Davis buys from him every week, and he’d bet anything that she was smoking in the parking lot for a bit of stress relief.
The rest is as follows: She heard sirens right as she was about to go back inside. It wasn’t an ambulance, it was a cop car, so she decided to watch what was going on. Eddie personally suspects that she was keeping an eye out because she smelled like pot. Either way, she watched as a cop pulled Will Byers’ limp form out of the backseat. Will’s mom climbed out from the passenger seat, and instead of immediately following after her son, she opened the other back door to the car, and the whole world shifted.
What she saw has changed a little bit over time. It’s different depending on who you ask, whether anybody on the basketball team is within earshot, or if Tommy Hagan is anywhere near you. If Tommy Hagan’s around, she didn’t see shit.
If Hagan’s fucked off, though, if you aren’t around the basketball team? Harrington’s hands were caked in dried blood. Maybe it was mud, Julia always hedged, but it just… looked like something else. Whatever it was, it ran down his chin, too, stains dripping from his lips all the way to his bare chest. She could see some awful scrapes and bruises down each arm, angry red slashes criss-crossing his back and his pecs, and his sweatpants seemed to be drenched in mud or blood or something awful that stained his bare feet as well.
Joyce Byers guided him out of the car at arm’s length, like he was a wild animal that could lash out at any moment. His eyes were wide and unfocused. Julia swears he never shivered, despite his state of undress and the freezing wind that had swept through Hawkins that night. He shuffled to the ER like a zombie taking its first brainless steps.
The next day, it was on the morning news. Missing boys found wandering through the woods, escaped from their captor and fleeing for their lives. The news didn’t say much about the kidnapper. A few days later, it was reported that the creep had died from injuries sustained during the boys’ escape.
Translation: Steve Harrington killed a man. With his bare hands and teeth, if Julia Davis isn’t bullshitting them.
Eddie’s been watching the scars fade. All of the scrapes on Steve’s arms are either gone now or covered by the sleeve of his striped polo. He buttons them all the way up now, but the guys in his gym class say that his chest is back to normal. His nails aren’t ragged and torn anymore. Technically, he looks fine. Perfect. All-American.
But then there are the eyes.
There’s something about his gaze that draws Eddie in. His eyes are beautiful, of course, the kind of brown that brings to mind mossy logs and golden sunsets in equal measure, just depending on how they catch the light. Eddie didn’t make a habit of gazing into Steve Harrington’s eyes before the change, but he still remembers seeing life behind them. How could he not? Steve used to draw attention everywhere he went. No wonder he got snatched. It’s always those types, isn’t it?
Eddie might be a bad person. Just a little bit.
The point is that those eyes don’t have life behind them now. They’re just empty. Dull and sad, like Steve’s soul has floated off, or else been so weighed down that it can no longer move. Drained, like Frodo after delivering the ring to Mount Doom.
It’s obvious that Steve doesn’t belong in the Shire anymore.
Whenever Eddie isn’t occupying himself with D&D or homework or the band or his business, his mind drifts back to Steve Harrington. What did he see? What did he do? How did that blood look dripping down his chin, was it like a movie vampire or like a Carrie situation, and did Steve lick it from his lips in the back of the cop car? Maybe Eddie really is as sick in the head as people say. He needs to know. Did Steve kill that man with his teeth?
It isn’t any of his business, except that people don’t seem to be as afraid of Eddie as they used to be. More girls are coming straight to him instead of sending their boyfriends to buy their shit for them. Maybe they aren’t any less afraid of Eddie. Maybe they’re just more afraid of their boyfriends. When you skulk around high school parties for a living, you hear stories. According to several sources, Steve Harrington keeps a knife in his pocket and an extra in his backpack. According to Eddie’s own eyes in addition to his sources, Steve Harrington’s girlfriend showed up to school with a bandage on her hand the day after he came back.
Eddie doesn’t personally think that those two things are related. Harrington was definitely in the hospital for at least a few days, and they only give you the shitty plastic knives in there. She was probably just cooking or curling her hair or something when she found out that her disappeared boyfriend had come back.
Steve doesn’t seem to be reading his book. Eddie can’t tell what it is from this distance, but it looks more like a textbook than a novel. The cover is red. Which of Eddie’s textbooks are red? That one for Lit was red, right?
The book snaps shut. Eddie looks up.
Empty eyes stare back.

Laws of Attraction กฏแห่งรักดึงดูด Ep.01
sorry to @ginnymoonbeam and anyone else from the discord crew who's seeing this twice, I hope to type up a more coherent something at some point, but I wanted to record this somewhere.
I've put a cut because this is LONG, but the reactions include translations of stuff that apparently didn't get translated on iQiyi. Mind that I'm not fluent, this is without guarantees, etc.
WHOA starting right on a dramatic courtroom scene … and why does that the defendant look familiar?
oh fuck, he uses dirty tricks. I'm not surprised, but WOW.
haha, hi dude who played Jaosua Zhang in Khun Chai
oh god this Chinese is … something.
that shirt is a CHOICE
oh, wait, is this the dude who played … what's his face, the one who was going to sell out Thian in Khun Chai? is he gonna be our antag
ahaha he hit a nerve
ahaha how is it ALWAYS Film's characters getting saved by Jam's
ahaha Chaan hitting on Tinn. He's so sleazy, yikes
and of course he's hitting on Tinn, and Tinn has good instincts and avoids the murder eyes
oh god he looks dangerous, how is this the dude who played sweet Thian?? ACTING!!!!
… I'm not gonna comment on that
of course this show is gonna make it a mission to make me hungry
Khao is so cute
this is gonna hurt so much, eh
ooh so he teaches Taekwondo!! this is so cute
oh goodness, she wants to make merit for her parents ;-; SWEETHEART
HOLY SHIT. That wasn't even a hit-and-run, that was an intentional running-over
oh shit, these dudes look hiso
uurgh Chaan's face here is just like "here's money coming my way"
this kid is so prett I'm sure he'll get an redemption arc, but I hate him anyway, for now
here come Tinn and his auntie crashing this hiso politician's press junket, oops
Tumblr media
Sign reads:
The lawsuit is not making progress. The perpetrator has not been punished.
they're really going for maximum
I love how Chaan already owes Tinn his life twice over, this is gonna make for an interesting dynamic
the romantic music, I cannot, this is a SOAP and it's leaning into it, I'm LIVING
oh, the way the mood INSTANTLY changed here, goddd
oh god, Chaan is SO removed from reality
or, well. jaded, I guess. Which we knew! from the trailer! BUT STILL
"you'll regret that" holy SHIT
WAS THAT THE ROSEWOOD AGAIN
oh, so Chaan also has Trauma(tm)?
Tumblr media
This show is in the future, the texts read:
29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 100 total balance 178,274.59 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 178,574.59 (idk I didn't math this, it's what it says) 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 180,574.59
love the commentary on this type of "journos"
I love Tinn's sister
I'm already excited for the moment Chaan starts to care. it's gonna be EPIC
he's such an ASSHOLE and I'm having a hard time with that because Thian was so sweet ACTING
I'm flashing back to Gram and White's "legal vs ethical" debate in Not Me
he can't apologise? oh Chaan, I think Tinn is going to make you eat your words.
okay I like that Tinn is apparently an asshole to everyone. equal opportunity asshole.
Tumblr media
10:33: Ended voice call (22 seconds) 13:45: Message: "From today on, the party lawyers will take over Thaenthai's case. As for your wages, you can send [the bill?] now. I'll take care of it." (EDITED thanks to @recentadultburnout for your correction!)
I'm starting to think Tinn just doesn't know how not to be antagonistic
oh god are they gonna beat him up while he's wearing a ruffled blouse
oh YIKES
the shot of whatever that was? that's gonna be relevant later, I bet
YOU TELL HIM, TINN
acab acab acab ACAB FUCK THEM
oh god this show is gonna hurt even worse than I thought
If Chaan set that beating up I'm gonna … idk. not be surprised. but.
I can't believe the trailer essentially covered most of ep 1 and not that much from later on???
I didn't think we'd see Chaan undress and … from that set-up quite possibly assault him this early. Or frankly at all, despite how it was set up in the trailer. YIKES
THAT PREVIEW, HELP please tell me this is also a two episode a week show

Finally started playing the English version (fan translation) of Mother 3 for the first time a couple days ago. I’m on Chapter 5 (no spoilers for me please, but also be warned that i might spoil a detail or two since this is my post). I have a lot of feelings but I’m not sure what all of them are just yet. This is gonna be a little disjointed and stream-of-consciousness.
EarthBound was HUGELY formative to me growing up… it shouldn’t be surprising to me how much more refined M3 is versus EarthBound, but it really is. (And yet in so many ways, it also isn’t that much more refined? They’re so clearly related, even beyond the art and the music and stuff.)
EarthBound was super up-front about Giygas being your antagonist and Ness being specifically tasked with stopping it (wait, shit, is Giygas it/its or he/him or something else?), whereas M3 is a lot more coy about what’s actually going on (I mean, Fassad introducing Money And Television into a utopian commune pretty clearly marks him as Very Bad, to say nothing of the casual animal torture, but I doubt that he’s The Main Antagonist, and no one is saying anything about the party being uniquely responsible for stopping him or anything).
i like the fact that the narrative viewpoint keeps changing. That’s interesting so far.
i love Flint, he’s simply great, and I hope he joins the party again later. (I’m prepared to be disappointed on this but I’m still hopeful regardless.)
there does seem to be a little bit of casual racism that seems out of place? The whole “Ma[slur]” people seem a bit… eh, i feel like maybe tossing a slur into the name of the drag-queen-coded genderfucky inhuman demigods could maybe have been avoided, and i also feel like everything about Reggie could have used a little (read: a lot) more care. So that’s, you know, not great. Don’t love those parts.
tbh, so far i don’t see why Lucas is a pivotal character… i know he’s apparently the MC but it feels like there’s plenty of options for more interesting characters to have taken the lead role. Idk. Maybe he’ll be more interesting later.
i absolutely cannot get the hang of the rhythm battle thing (even when the enemy is asleep)… if i can get three hits, i can usually get a few more, but getting the combo to start at all (except through luck of button-mashing, which of course ends the combo on the second hit) is something i seriously struggle with. And i have a pretty decent sense of rhythm (i mean, I’ve only been playing drums for six and a half years now), but… it’s just starting the chain that trips me up.
it’s still very funny to me that the sprites are so much more involved and expressive than in EarthBound and yet Lucas and Kumatora (and most people tbh) have faces that are just :|
M3 somehow feels like less of a genre parody than EarthBound was, which is both good and bad. I guess i respect not wanting to just do the same thing over and over.
probably more later… still forming my thoughts.

Stewjon Studies, interlude, Obi-Wan's Thoughts on His Home Planet:
vol. i: a brief overview of terrain, seasons, inhabitants, and culture
vol. ii: the known history of stewjon
vol. iii: the four gods and core religion
Most of what people know of Stewjon is either outdated or just factually incorrect, tall tales about a mysterious world and what fanciful secrets its people must be harboring (spoiler, they aren't, they're just a bunch of isolated hick farmers).
Obi-Wan Kenobi was 3 years old when he was given to the Jedi Order, which was far later than most initiates, but still far too young for him to have made any lasting memories of his birth family. He thinks he remembers a woman with magenta eyes, another child with red hair identical to his own, and an endless marshy pasture from the view of an open window. He has no memory of their personalities and can only speculate the relationship they must have had.
Maybe his family had loved him too much and had only given him to the Jedi when pressed, or maybe they saw his connection to the Force as a way to elevate their status in society, or maybe they wanted to be rid of him, but had no way to contact the temple from their isolated planet. Regardless of their reasoning, Obi-Wan was still sent away and he hopes his birth family found peace with it the way he did.
Obi-Wan has heard many things about Stewjon over the course of his life, but he feels like he only knows three things for sure:
They do not want to be bothered by the rest of the galaxy;
They cannot defend themselves from the rest of the galaxy;
And because of the first two truths, he can never go back.
It isn't uncommon for Jedi Knights to visit their homeland to learn of their culture and origins, but Obi-Wan has never wanted to see what could be waiting for him on back Stewjon. He has no desire to see the life he could have had or the family who could have loved him. He has his own family now and does not lack love.
To Obi-Wan, the most interesting things about Stewjon are its people's views on the Force and its plants.
The Stewjoni word for Force sensitives translates to Star Touched and to them, Star Touched folks are spiritually connected to the deities of Stewjon and the spirits of the deceased (see vol. iii).
It's documented that Stewjoni who are Star Touched (but not enough to be a Jedi) tend to be religious leaders or strategically married into upper society in order to bring more political power to the family. They are given an elite education and are expected to be social leaders, politically active, and involved in religious practices (like planning festivals, leading ritual practices, and overseeing important weddings). Star Touched are not only connected to the deities, but to the planet itself as well. Their souls are said to be in the rivers, the stones, the trees, the rains, and every living creature. When they're in pain, the planet is in pain, and when they're at peace, the planet is at peace.
What the Stewjoni believe is similar enough to the Living Force that Obi-Wan thinks Qui-Gon would have enjoyed it. He also thinks there is some cruel irony in being from a culture that believes so strongly in the Living Force while he himself has never felt connected to it. And sometimes Obi-Wan takes it as just another sign he was never meant to be part of that life.
Obi-Wan knows jack-shit about agriculture on Stewjon, who grows what, where it grows, how it grows, what leaves make what tea, but he has acquired a few Stewjoni flowers over the years that he takes pride in keeping. They're a rare find and he isn't even sure they're genuine, but given that they glow in the dark, he's inclined to believe they are. The flowers have never done well in his apartments, so he's claimed a dark cave in the Room of a Thousand Fountains as his personal garden. (The temple younglings love staring at them which makes Obi-Wan very happy.)
He also thinks it's annoying to be one of like 4 notable Stewjoni who don't live on Stewjon. His biology is extremely human, he just happens to have like 3 features that make him stand out in a crowd (sorry Ghost Company).

Ok, here's an ask for y'all:
If you (each of you? all of you? y'all get to decide how to interpret this) could pick any one piece of media - book, movie, TV show, musical, etc - to be adapted to another form, what would you pick and why? (optional - what changes, if any, would you want made to suit that new media form)
This question brought to you by the number of people I hear talking about Wicked.
Goodness, my love, you do not make this easy, do you?
Fine. I shall do my best to answer all for myself and maybe let the others reblog with their own thoughts if such things occur later. Particularly with how volatile we have been today in terms of switching.
Book - This may be because of the question we got from Jaime but Hulk is on the mind so an adaptation of either Immortal Hulk or just getting to see Joe in live action would be all I could ask for. You know us, we love Ben Reilly and Joe FIxit more than the heroes that they splintered off of. It'd be good to see a movie/TV Show (or animated series, but Animated Marvel hasn't been good since Earth's Mightiest Heroes) with my favorite trans rights shitty sunshine man.
Cammie wants you to know, my love, that we didn't forget Tortall and she would burn every comic we have ever owned (rude, Sweetling, but I'll allow it) if it meant getting Alanna animated.
Movie - Spiderverse tie-in video game in the same artstyle as the movies. This is non-nonnegotiable. I'm right. Everyone needs to be on my level with this. Easter Eggs in the Insomnia game cannot sustain me. I want a Liv boss fight as Gwen.
TV Show - I'm still waiting for the official Mr. Robot comic to be released. Any day now.
Musical - Hmm... this is a tough one. There are a litany of shows we like that haven't had film adaptations (Pimpernell, Secret Garden, Chess, Next To Normal to name a few)
Game - We learned our lesson with the Persona adaptations and NieR:Automata. A game doesn't translate well into other media. I'd watch the shit out of a Heaven Will Be Mine or Pathologic anime regardless of quality though. I'd also read fan-fiction if any existed for certain games I shall not name.
Music - Rush deserve a rock opera. It's not fair that Queen, Billy Joel and Michael Jackson got them and Rush didn't.

here's the part one
so i knew most of highlander crossovers are with other old tv shows like BtVS, the sentinel, SPN, but like i said before i adore writing niche and rare crossover so here's the more elaborate story about Immortal Ijichi Kiyotaka lol
so when ijichi and methos, post crazy shit that went down with duncan macleod of the clan macleod, decided to de-stressed and traveled around africa, ijichi found what could be described as the youth fountain and at the same time they ran from a curse users that hell bend on cursing one or both of them, ijichi became the victim and he was deaged to age six BUT still remember all of his three millennia life and still an immortal. thankfully he will still grow until the year he died the first time, at age 31, so methos told him to stay somewhere safe until he can defend himself again
ijichi decided to come back home to japan and being adopted by the ijichi clan who he still keep up and exchange letters with, and also to see his student (Gojo Haruhi). he heard that another Six Eyes-Limitless user has been born to the clan and decided to enroll to jujutsu high when he reach age 16 to get to know said user
fast forward ten years later, ijichi still not used to being small than usual, cannot really bring a non-curse tool sword around the school so he only use his shikigami, and when he went to jujutsu high post geto leaving everything just felt weird. still ijichi stayed and somehow got roped into assistant manager position instead of sorcerer, because even though he's old as fuck immortal with penchant for surviving even the craziest shit, his curse energy and shikigami is not that powerful and so he's ok with that
he also got tangled with his upperclassmen drama and has, from an outsider pov, a bully-victim relationship with gojo even tho ijichi knew gojo trust him
fast forward to when he reach 25 and becoming more used to his body, ijichi was known for his calm temperament, his ability to roll with punches and deal with even the craziest sorcerer (aka gojo) without losing his cool, and being perceived as weak and average. ijichi and gojo becoming closer esp after gojo found his apartment who was full with crazy, rare artefacts and books written in old languages, and found out that ijichi also volunteered to translate old books from the school's library
when shit hits the fan a year later, with sukuna and kenjaku and shibuya and everything in between, ijichi is one of the pilar that maintain the status quo of the jujutsu, doing thankless job around the clock with other managers. he also contact methos wondering if he had heard anything about the prison realm (methos didn't know shit) and then decided yes he need some support here
methos came to japan before the culling game, reacquaintance with tengen and gojo hanami, and help reorganize shits. after satoru was released from the prison realm and the start of the fight (but before sukuna-gojo fight), somehow the culling game also becoming the center of the immortals' The Gathering, when immortals around the world start to move to japan
ijichi got roped into the game, some young immortals didn't recognize him and starts attacking him outside of tengen's barrier even tho he's around other sorcerers including gojo and nanami (he's alive ok i won't accept any fact except that nanami is alive!!!!!!), but ijichi yelled that no one can intervern. the conversations went like this, probably :
miyamura (the other immortals) : "I never see you before, you look young. I challenge you to the game!"
ijichi : "Young man, you're still young enough, are you sure?"
gojo : "Who the fuck are you calling young, Ijichi?!"
ijichi, after being attacked and quickly defend himself with his sword : "Wait Gojo-san, do not intervene! I must do this alone."
miyamura : "Ha! So you didn't tell anyone about the rules? Rule number one! No fighting on holy ground. Rule number two! Once a battle between two Immortals has been joined, no one may interfere. And rule number three-"
ijichi, aggravated because now his colleagues and friends knew about immortality, attack viciously and disarmed the other immortal and quickly take his head : "Rule number three, There Can Be Only One!"
the other, mesmerized but also weird out with the duel, shocked to watch lightning came from the body ijichi just beheaded and the lightning came straight to ijichi. after a few seconds, the area was cleared again and ijichi start swaying around but manage to walk back to the others.
gojo : "what the fuck was that."
ijichi : "won your fight against sukuna then i'll tell you all about it."
so that's one motivation for satoru to win his fight.
