Pag 2

1: Iitsuka-san!!

Goo Fukuoka!!

Oh, Tomaribata!!

Fukuoka, take the mountain!!

2: What about Hakogaku's Manami!?

3: Don't worry about him. He did catch up to me but then suddenly stopped

When I shouted at him, he closed his eyes and fell silent!!

4: Is it because he found out that Iitsuka-san is Fukuoka Josei's “mountain shogun”?

Yeah, probably!!

Amazing!!

5: Let's take the lead now!!

Ahead there's also Fujiwara-san from the Kyuushu team Kumadai!!

6: But anyway for a moment I was so scared....

Pag 3

1: When Hakogaku sent ahead their ace Manami!!

2: I can hear it

4: The first day's mountain prize!! Let's take it, at our hometown's Inter High!!

5: Wait....!!

6: “The sound of wheels”? “He's catching up”?

Could it be that Manami is waiting for someone?

Pag 4

1: And that's why he slowed down....!?

2: Raise your pace, Tomaribata!!

4: We're still at the start of the mountain, if we use up our legs here....

It's fine, we'll establish a good distance now

Huh!? But

Think, idiot!! If you think about it, you'll get it!! The person Manami slowed his legs down to wait for....

Pag 5

1: It's Sohoku's “Mountain King”!!

Pag 8

1: Mountain King!!

2: Fo-fo-for the first day's mountain!?

Why even the Mountain King, even the Mountain King!!

I don't know!! I don't know but that doesn't change the reality!!

3: Last year so many times we couldn't race each other

So I thought that maybe this year too...

4: What do I do if he doesn't come, I thought....

5: I was scared

6: For a while I couldn't even open my eyes

Pag 9

2: I caught up

4: Thank god it's real!!

Pag 10

Pag 11

At full throttle!!

Run!!

Please run!!

Pag 14

1: Nghh...!!

2: “Nghhh” it's right!!

3: Ahaha

Hahaha

They're suddenly laughing, let's raise our pace!!

Yes!!

4: It was during your training camp on our first year

5: When we raced for the first time

6: I remember I was so excited when I heard that our names were “Sakamichi” and “Sangaku”

It's the perfect combo!!

Pag 15

1: I was surprised you didn't even have your feet fastening on

We stopped at the summer house and talked

2: We were so free back then!!

We didn't have any responsibility, not teams nor jerseys!!

3: Ahaha

4: When you're in second and third year the things you have to do increases so much....

5: I'd throw this “captain” title away anytime!!

Hahaha I get it, it's difficult for me too

Pag 16

1: If someone on my team heard that they would get angry

Doubashi-kun especially would get angry!!

Sounds scary...

4: You're wearing the number “3”

Ah, yeah, uhm, we talked with everyone on the team

Huh.... on official races the winner of the previous year should wear the number “1”

5: I see, leave it to me then

I'll push through, hahaha!!

Thank you!!

Is.. is that alright?

Waa, Pierre-sensei is so reliable!!

6: Your teacher....!!

Then...

7: Yeah, “3” like Makishima-san's “173”

Pag 17

1: I'm also wearing Toudou-san's number “13”

2: “Sleeping beauty”!!

Kuah!! Toudou!!

Pag 18

1: That day, the first day of the Inter High two years ago

2: While we were pulling the team, I imagined those two fighting for the mountain prize....

3: I'm sure they must be having fun

Fighting until you're empty

It can't not be fun!!

4: We can't go right now, but let's do it

A fight until the last drop, until our limits!!

Yeah!!

5: We promised to race

Today may be the day to truly make that wish....

Pag 19

1: come true!!

Pag 20

1: Our third year, the last Inter High

2: The first day.... a fight to compete only for the colored bib

3: The purity of this race is infinitely high!!

4: Yeah!!

Pag 21

5: Let's do it, Manami-kun!!

Pag 22

2: I've been waiting to hear those words!!

Parallels Between Human and Demon Hearts

Sometimes I think about how Shiro told Rin that demons can live in our hearts. That they can possess those who are corrupt and wicked. And how a moment of emotional vulnerability made him the perfect target for Satan to possess.

Yet it’s established that demons, who are corrupt by default, and who have rare but wildly uncontrollable and immature emotions, also have their hearts as their weakest spot and thus always need to hide them.

So, these set up a parallel between humans and demons in the story in regards to how they use their hearts differently.

Mephisto here says that human creativity and imagination rival the evil powers of demons. Human creativity is usually seen as the result of people using their hearts openly. A person can have a lot of technical skills, and that’s a talent in itself! But regardless of skill level, there’s a level of emotional vulnerability needed to make a piece of work creative. It’s what allows a person to be self-revealing and display their unique and developed perspective on life. It can also display a sense of emotional maturity or self acceptance to be so self revealing with creativity. And it’s this sensitivity that leads to humans’ biggest strength against demons, their creativity and imagination.

So early on it’s established what makes human beings human in this parallel: it’s their idealism and creativity.

And as for what makes a demon a demon? I don’t think it’s too big of a leap to say that Mephisto is also implying that demons are fundamentally unimaginative. It makes sense when you look at how callous and cold they are. There’s not much use of emotional “heart” among them, which leads to their dull, violent, and bleak outlook on the world and humans. The extremely realistic views they have play into how they use and hide their hearts for offense and defense. Not in the way that I think that being emotionally open scares them. (Which I think they are! But being vulnerable probably hardly ever crosses their minds.) It’s more in the way that they’ve never bothered to develop a sense of creativity, or rather that they might work against it.

So my theory is this: the hiding of their hearts isn’t just for their physical well-being, it’s also dynamic and metaphorical. The hearts of the corrupt seem to be the sweet spot for demons to possess. The cruelty of the corrupt can’t overpower the innate evil of a demon's heart, and they’re also not creative enough to challenge the heart of a demon. These corrupted hearts are what’s easiest for them to take over. And this is partially why demons don’t bother to challenge themselves and create any emotional openness. They know how emotional vulnerability can be exploited since they can possess the sensitive. And in the end, any idealistic creativity could hinder their ability to possess those wicked human hearts. So, they don’t just hide their physical heart in this sense, but also their emotional one as well since it seems to be in their best interest.

And those (in my opinion and theory !) are the innate differences between humans and demons in this story. It’s entirely to a human’s benefit to use their hearts emotionally, creatively, and ethically, since this brings humans together and also protects them from demons. Yet for demons, it’s all the opposite. Perhaps it’s due to their extreme tendency towards cruelty and innate corruption that easily overpowers that of a human’s. Because regardless of however evil or emotionally vulnerable/immature a person is, it’s not ever going to compare to a demon’s heart.

He closes that chat and instead pulls up the one between himself and Aaron. It’s right at the top since he has the message pinned but it’d likely be at the top regardless of that since he and his brother regularly speak with one another.

That remains another mystery no matter how many times he tries to understand it. Still, Andrew isn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Aaron:  We’re getting everything set up in the house. Aaron:  Kate told me to tell you to get off your phone.

Andrew: Don’t unpack my stuff. Focus on your own.

[strawberriesinmoominvalley]

in celebration of landoscar breaching top 10 pairings in formula on ao3, have a tiny snippet of a coming fanfic:

“You knew?” Lando screeched. “Well, yeah.” At Lando’s flummoxed expression, Oscar continued, a grin creeping at the corners of his mouth. “You were trying to court me, Lando.” “I didn’t think you realised.” Lando looked away, gaze flickering into the copse of trees that bordered the edge of the garden. Oscar bumped his shoulder, and Lando met his eyes for a brief moment. Oscar’s cheeks were pink. “It’s- well, you didn’t exactly say anything, did you?” “I didn’t,” Oscar agreed, looking down into his lap. His hands twitched slightly, a nervous gesture. Lando pressed the side of his cheek against Oscar’s shoulder, rubbing against it. He felt Oscar visibly relax under his touch. “I didn’t want to pressure you.” Oh. “But I was trying to court you!” “It wasn’t that I didn’t want you.” Oscar’s voice was steady. Despite that, Lando startled at the words. He turned to look at Oscar, seeing the other look more flushed than he’d ever seen him. “God, Lando- I want you more than anything. But I didn’t want you to go with it because I’m an alpha.” “You’re not like them.” Lando reached out a careful hand, taking Oscar’s in his. “You haven’t done anything to pressure me - you haven’t even commanded me-” Oscar recoiled at those words. “I wouldn’t command you. That’s to save someone’s life, not for control. God, it’s- I wouldn’t.”

Your local born-again Portal fan wants to know the context behind btzmp if that’s cool with you (gonna read the hell out of it today I’m shaking with excitement)

god this is a dangerous question there is a really stupid amount of context and Lore for this stupid fic. but the tl;dr is that @silverstreams put worms in my brain with chapter 28 of tlg and they chewed away at my little noggin for four years and now im writing an 18+ audiences only chell/caroline fic set in 90s aperture

[endlesslytired]

World Serpent/Flamechaser post! I realised I had a collection so I made this a post of its own.

Context for this last one - vvv

I made a new account bc my steam one has some really annoying limitations, but I was pretty deep in the main story and didn't do much Elysian Realm so I decided to actually do that properly this time. Insane place and Mei is taking no shit, I love it.

Fandom: Death Note (no Death Note AU)

Characters: Near, Matt, Mello, L, Teru Mikami, a whole bunch of cameos from canon characters as supporting cast

Ships: Shippy Gen with a friendship triangle (whee!)

Rating: M for violence and Mikami (you'll see) Summary:

Summary:

Matt, Mello and Near work under their mentor, world-famous genius detective L, training to become detectives someday themselves. Matt is generally okay with being in third place when compared to Mello and Near, but things are about to change. When Near suddenly collapses while he and Matt are home alone, the redhead finds himself in charge for the first time ever.

Matt rushes Near to the hospital. Just as a friendship begins to form between the two boys, Mello arrives and complicates the dynamic. Things go from bad to worse, as Near's obsessive nurse Mikami abducts him from the hospital, and Matt, Mello and L must work together to recover him.

(Continuing to add to my Death Note fanfic I first published in 2008. it's only a few chapters from finished after this, so I'm gonna finish it once and for all. We have to get Near some closure for all that I've put him through...

Chapter 1 has detailed content warning info, so be sure to read the author's note!)

Read it here on AO3!

Andrew shoves his phone in his pocket as Josten is listing his least to most favorite types of Mexican food in Andrew's place.

"Enchiladas before Fajita's?" His Captain squawks.

"I hate peppers." Josten wrinkles his nose.

"I didn't realize I was on a team with a child." Andrew rolls his eyes.

Josten rolls his eyes right back at him, "Says the guy with a coffee order that could send someone into a diabetic coma if they looked at it too long."

Andrew blinks before his eyes narrow.

"We went to college together Minyard, I've seen the affront to coffee beans you order."
