[sea-dukes-assistant]

Of course that I left the Tiara moment for my birthday month, because it's my party and I want to pretend that I can attend one.

Let your immagination run wild.

What are you wearing? OK, I'm gonna need y'all to work with me here, because us enlisted degenerates don't have an equivalent of "white tie," and I'll be damned if I'm not flexing my Big US Navy D*ck Energy at a fancy dinner (also, use your imagination; the cummerbund for my rank would be black, and the buttons would be silver).

Are you married to a royal? Are you married to a politician? Not married to anyone, but Sea Duke and I fuck are relationshipping on the down low and there is nothing you can do about it.

Which family is hosting it? The Brits, for the sake of the attached fic making sense (and Sir would have some pull with respect to me attending in the first place).

When is it happening? 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don't really think about these things. Read the fic if you're dying to know.

Who are you seated next to? (if you pick Princess Michael I am getting worried about your current mental health state) It's finna be weird for me no matter who I'm next to, but ideally I'd be seated across from my emotional support naval officer Sea Duke.

DON'T FORGET TO STICK TO THE FASHIONS OF THE PERIOD (something is telling me that people will get too wild). MY BAD. *unapologetically nests my balls like bald eagle eggs with complete disregard for the space-time continuum*

CW: THERE IS DUDE SEX.

Uniform Kink

“Do you want me to wear it to bed?” he asks, his voice calm despite the offhandedness of the question.

“Huh? What? Wear what?” I hadn’t been paying attention, my thoughts having been occupied with other things, such as the very long list of very raunchy things I wanted to do to him…or receive…when he wore his Royal Navy uniform. It seems I had let my staring linger a bit to long.

“This,” he answers with a slight smirk. “You’ve only been eyeballing me since dinner.”

Oh shit, he had noticed. I usually was better at hiding it, either by using peripheral vision or pretending to be interested in what the guest next to me was saying, staring past them and at him. Everyone had left, the task of tidying up had begun, his wife gone off to get ready for bed (I can’t be certain but I think she winked at us), and it was just the two of us. This was the first time I’d ever wished someone else was in the room, and I’m upset that I didn’t have a reasonable excuse to get myself out of this situation.

My attention now was on my rocks glass, and I absentmindedly swirl what bourbon was left in there, growing more mortified as I felt the familiar sensation of heat gathering at my ears. I take a sip of bourbon, trying to balance between making it look normal and the knee-jerk desire to just knock back what was left back because OH MY GOD THIS ISN’T HAPPENING.

Sea Duke leans a bit closer to me, a smirk on his face. “You know, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done it.”

He might not have calmed my mild embarrassment, but he at least made me feel less of a need to fight admitting to it, less…silly. Of course he’d have done that at least once with his wife stop being weird!

The combination of his voice, his increased proximity to me, and the imagery I’ve conjured up in my head had a very immediate effect, one that I very much needed him to attend to.

I take a deep breath and finish off my bourbon. “Yes,” I finally admit as I set the glass down. I can see him smile out of the corner of my eye. “I hate that you do that.” I can’t help but crack smile though, because he’s done it again.

He cocks his head to the side and quizzically asks, “Do what?”

“Get me to admit shit like that.”

“Well it’s either we sort this out now, or I find out on tour, when you’ve made it known to the entire wardroom, standing at attention when no one told you to.” He points at the now obvious bulge in my pants, I assume to ensure I understand the joke.

“Fuck sake!” I laugh at his description and the all too realistic probability that that’d be exactly what would happen.

“You needn’t be embarrassed about it,” he says quietly, and begins nibbling my ear.

As a reflex, I take a deep breath, exhaling out my nose, mentally pushing the anxiety out, a wave of calm taking over.

“I’ll ask again,” he says, a hint of arousal in his voice, “do you want me to wear it to bed?”

“Yes,” I answer, a bit unhappy that that came out a bit more of a moan than I intended.

His mission accomplished, Sea Duke ceases his attention on my ear. “Right,” he states, in typical British fashion, before smacking his hands on his thighs. He stands up and straightens out his uniform.

I stand up as well, awkwardly wondering what to do with my empty glass, and, in his opinion, focused too much on where to put it. He clears his throat in that sort of agitated way that officers tend to do, and I instinctively just set my glass down on the coffee table, swallowing the urge to apologize for my squirrely attention span.

“There are more pressing matters for you to focus on,” he says. I look at him a bit quizzically, as I’m the one with obvious evidence of arousal. Sea Duke sighs, feigning derision. “I’ve been wanting your mouth on my dick all night,” he declares, before turning and walking towards his bedroom.

I follow him, perhaps a bit too eagerly, basking in knowing he can’t get enough of me, just as I can’t get enough of him.

He helps get me stripped down to the waist between quick, almost authoritative kisses, backing me up to the edge of his bed. Once I'm bare-chested, he nudges my shoulder and I sit, the anticipation absolutely killing me.

“I haven't even touched you and you're already hard," he says, smirking at me while he unbuttons the last gold button on his uniform jacket.

There's some embarrassment mixed with my (obvious) arousal, but I try to ignore that as I know that's not his intention. If anything, it probably turns him on a bit; I know it'd be a confidence booster to me!

“That makes me wonder how many times you've gotten yourself off to this." Again, this comes not as a statement but more of that tactic officers use when they want answers, but don't want to ask questions directly. He's definitely turned on though; I can hear it in his voice.

“I neither confirm nor deny that," I tell him. Truth is, I lost count long ago.

“It had to have been substantial, given how eager you were for it the first time."

Ah yes, the first time. That, too, was after a fancy dinner...and he was also in his Royal Navy dress blues that time, too. Damn him and his paying attention to these things. I feel my face get hot, this time unable to keep any embarrassment at bay. Even though I wanted it, and want whateverthisis, I still hadn't fully come to terms with it. However, any level of insecurity was easier to deal with than the crushing weight the repression was starting to have on me, to the point where it physically manifested in constantly feeling like it was literally sitting on my chest.

I feel his right hand on my cheek, and then his thumb in my mouth, opening it for what's to come next. I can't help but watch, a bit mesmerized, as he unzips his trousers with his other hand. I feel my dick twitch as he, with a bit of difficulty, gets his free. Even only partially hard, his size is a bit intimidating. Without hesitation, his thumb disappears, and he pushes himself into my mouth, a sigh escaping him as he does so. Ah, it's going to be that type of night; he's more aroused than he'd admit. Either it's coincidence, or he gets as excited as I do about the decision to stay in uniform. I decide not to ask and chalk it up to coincidence, given it's not a secret that he enjoys having me suck him off (we both do, in fact). The prospect of it being the latter, though, aides in my own trousers getting more tight in the crotch...as if that were possible.

Instinctively, I start working him over, taking a more...exploratory approach, shall we say. I've waited a long time for this to happen, and I'll be damned if I don't take time and enjoy it. Sea Duke is less patient, his typical officers' composure betrayed by his unusually frequent sighs, and soft moans. I shift my focus to the head, alternating between licking and sucking, his noises serving as both encouragement and a distraction against the now uncomfortable bulge in my trousers.

“Christ," he sighs. "You had to have done this before."

I pull away from him, wrapping my right hand around his solid 8 inches. "No, you're still the first. None of that has changed," I explain, looking up at him as I rub my thumb around the head. I guess he figures I've had...experiences...while underway that I've not told him about. By now the insecurity has vanished and I'm feeling damn proud of myself for having gotten him in such a state. Usually, he's the more "together" one and it's me just making a racket and failing to make words. I'm not sure if that fact alone gets him more excited, or if he just really needs to cum, but either way, he is ready.

“On your back. Now." That was an order.

I smirk at him, excited for what's about to happen, and also finally I can get some relief! Just listening to him has got me to being annoyed at my own arousal. I do as he says without hesitation. I reach towards the head of the bed and grab a pillow, fluff it, and place it behind my head. With the level of efficiency one would expect from a German (he'll say he's Greek but let's be real here), I'm unceremoniously stripped down the rest of the way, until I'm bare ass naked. Then, his hand is on me.

“Oh fuck yes," I sighed, grateful to finally have contact.

“Reality better than the fantasy?" Sir asks, eyebrows raised and that damn smirk on his face again.

“Yes sir," I answer, my breath hitching as he gives me a squeeze.

“Mmm, I can tell. I wouldn't even have to touch you, would I?"

Indeed he would not. Sea Duke, Admiral of the Fleet, in his blues, his zipper down, his thick dick out and dripping pre-cum, stroking every inch of me in a slow, easy manner that conflicts with his earlier impatience, was even more than I could have asked for.

“N-no sir," I stutter. My stomach muscles tighten as I try to control myself.

“Right then," he chirps, immediately removing his hand. I whine about that, against my better judgement. He leans over me, and I moan as his dick makes contact with mine. It feels heavy and oddly comforting.

“Do you want me to fuck you?" he asks, his voice low and husky with arousal. I could answer, but he's taken to nibbling on my ear, which combined with the motion of his hips is absolute murder on my nerves. I hate him. I hate him for the way he teases me. I hate it but fuck, do I love it.

“Use your words," he says as he grinds against me, his mouth not leaving my ear.

I moan.

He grinds against me again.

“"YES," I blurt out. "Yes sir...god...fuck..." I gasp, nearly finishing right then.

I feel him slowly start to prep me, and as always, he offers his own unique form of distraction.

“I do hope this is a suitable solution to your problem. We would be at sea for months. I take no issue with it but...I don't need the entire wardroom wanting to moor in my port. Although," he stands back up and removes his fingers, "I couldn't blame them for that. You are rather...eager to please." My dick twitches again at his words.

“I like pleasing you," I say, horny out of my mind.

“Mmm you always do," Sir says, easing himself into me, gentle as always, until his entire length is sheathed. He wraps my legs around his waist and strokes me, lazily, while waiting for me to get comfortable, obviously enjoying himself. All I can do is lean my head back and sigh, basking in the slight stinging mixed with intense pleasure. Fuck he's so good to me.

I buck up into his hand, a signal that he can proceed, and he begins to thrust, slowly at first, until he finds the exact angle he needs.

“"I think I like you best like this," he says, smiling at me as he pulls out, then thrusts back in.

I think I like it best, too.

A quick reflection on why I left Tumblr (and why I'm back)

Not going to be a long one (gotta save that energy for the MGR:R series), just a blurb.

I largely grew up on forums (okay, *forum*), and the shift to social media threw me the f*ck off. I went from seeing a regular cast of acquaintances almost daily to staring at an ocean of strangers. I didn't adjust well. I would crave that emotional connection with others and try to post (being funny, shooting ideas their way, answering questions), and almost immediately I'd shut down and disappear.

I've often said to folks in meatspace that "I don't use social media" because saying "I just follow a bunch of folks to observe their amazing artwork, one-sidedly engage with their philosophies and worldviews, and also [REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF TUMBLR]." I stopped using Facebook in 2015 or so yet kept the account active just to see whose birthday it was. I don't think I ever actually sent a tweet, save for one time I tried to send an idea to a game developer I liked before realizing that because I set my account to private they'd never actually be able to reply. And Tumblr? Not one post, hell I wasn't even interested in reblogging because I thought it wouldn't be worth it. Why would anyone follow me? No one knows who I am, I don't make art or participate in any specific fandom, and I don't thrive on negative affect enough to stir up sh*t and cause drama.

I eventually decided that this wasn't healthy for me. I deleted my Facebook and Twitter, but I kept my Tumblr simply because I did want to keep up with all the artists and fan creators I had accrued on my dashboard.

Then the Purge happened. Most of them had to flee to Twitter or other sites. *I* worried my Tumblr would get deleted anyway, so I went out on my own terms. Like a fool, I decided I'd try to recreate my Tumblr experience on Twitter (following people I found interesting and enjoying from a distance). It didn't work; eventually, I found myself having to actively stay away from Twitter to not get mired in the in-fighting, the uncertain future of the platform, and the absolute SPEED that misinformation and nontroversies spread across it. I kept wondering why I didn't leave, and I guess I just convinced myself that I wouldn't get anywhere.

About a week ago, I joked to my friends that I'd make a new Tumblr account if Elon Musk bought Twitter. Then it happened. And I? was excited? I wanted to write? I just... wanted to come back to Tumblr. I wanted to give Tumblr a real chance.

I also just lost all fucks to give. I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm just gonna write about whatever the hell comes across my mind.

Hope you all are ready for *checks notes*

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Blaseball, trading card games, indie video games, board games, Mecha, D&D and other tabletop RPGs, trivia, and a fascination with the Satanic Panic and its continuous ripple through our present and future.

Aight, I'm done, you may resume scrolling.

lola messina for @radioactivedotcom‘s The Nemesis

freshly 19 - family oriented, mean, self-assured (but still babey!!) 

details / story / etc under the cut!

lola is was considered the “princess” of the underground boxing scene in myshuno. she and her brother, aj, were given the keys to the castle after their dad was shipped away to some prison planet thousands of miles away when she was only 11. after that, aj pretty much raised her, teaching her everything their dad had taught him. “why shouldn’t you know how to kick someone’s ass? just ‘cause you don’t have a d*ck? doesn’t make any sense.” was a sentence she would often hear from her sibling. 

so, she learned how to kick someone’s ass. actually, lots of people. and as she challenged the sector’s best, continuing to beat her opponents, she earned a name for herself besides “Pax Messina’s daughter.” eventually, she became ring leader of her own club, and regulated fights day in and day out. of course, there were problems (rival clubs, dirty fights, etc) but none quite like the one that drove her away.

on her 19th birthday, a man she had never seen walked into her club. he didn’t look like a fighter, he actually looked more like a cop. he didn’t say anything to lola, just stood there, stared at her awhile, then left. she didn’t like it, and within minutes she was at aj’s club. they talked around, and found out a fighter had been murdered. a girl about lola’s age. and her crew was convinced lola had done it. they were so convinced, in fact, that they had sent people to “take care of it.” aj immediately set up a trip on The Nemesis - class C - for lola.

facts:

would do anything for her brother, and being away from him for this long will be very very tough

gray eyes are contax (she’s naturally brown / black)

she’s not the smartest? like she’s very street smart but maths is a no

^ and she definitely can’t spell any word with more than 7 letters right

she is really irresponsible with money (spends a lot of it on alcohol)

the self-assured trait is more of a front, she’s actually a fairly nervous person when she feels like she can be

her glasses keep her organized (future-y alexa type vibe)

she is so gay. like the gayest.

right-handed (? unimportant but the bandages are for her punching hand)

she’s a gemini - probably has a fire sign as her rising idk which yet tho

probably should be class d, but her brother was too worried about her for all that stowaway stuff

Tina watches (and cries) MODC Ep. 8 (Ep. 15 & 16 to some) Hao Ting x Xi Gu scenes

Note: I talk about Zhi Gang and Bo Xiang on a separate post because each CP deserved their long essay.

OK. BITCH. WHATT!!!!!!!!!!! I literally have to hold back screaming out loud watching this episode (because it was midnight here and everyone was asleep). This is such a good episode. 

Ok, first of all, I love how Hao Ting is thirsty as fck for Xi Gu. It’s very realistic and I literally gasped at every moment the show emphasized it. Yong Ching saying that the door should be kept open at all times, and Hao Ting arguing back and closing the door for like a fraction and saying, “just leave it like this!” I WHEEZED JHSDFBSDBD IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE BOO. 

We all just got to love Hao Ting’s friends. They’re very supportive of Hao Ting and they try their best to cheer him up. That has always been the case from the start, but in the recent episodes especially this one, they actually show us that they’re supportive friends rather than cronies. I love how these boys are given as much character and is just a great support system for Hao Ting and his relationship.

The episode also emphasized a lot on how important to Xi Gu that Hao Ting makes it to the Top 5 university as well. Although he says that they’re not together yet, but it seems like he respects Hao Ting’s parents’ wish so much that he won’t allow Hao Ting to slack off so they can actually be together. Fully consented this time. Yu Xi Gu is probably doing this for his parents as well. Getting Hao Ting’s parents’ permission will be like having his own parents’ permission as well.

When Hao Ting went to Xi Gu to celebrate his birthday. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that was a moment. Xi Gu praying for the well being of his aunt and his friends (yes, they’re actually his friends now I’m crying) is so touching. Xi Gu used to have no one and now he has a very caring boyfriend and supportive friends (ಥ﹏ಥ)

And we got to talk about that handjob scene. IT LOOKS SO FCKING REALISTIC I WAS SO SHOCKED HSFVBJASDA nobody warned me OHMYGOD. The only thing missing in that scene to make it real is if they would really take their actual d*cks out. I was expecting some sort of sex scene (like the one with Zhi Gang and Bo Xiang) but somehow, it felt more intense????? I was like (╯ಠ_ಠ）╯︵ ┳━┳ the whole time, probably because of the panting lmao Hao Ting was so delirious and he just unknowingly corrupted poor innocent Xi Gu. It may be the first time Xi Gu thinks about these kind of things so please Hao Ting, be a little more patient.

AND YES!!!!!!!!! HAO TING PASSED CENTRAL UNI!!! THAT’S OUR BOY!!! I just choked at Zhi Gang reminding them that he’s there because Hao Ting looked one second away from actually eating Xi Gu lmaooo I’m also so fcking delighted that they didn’t drag the studying for university part to the next episode. I’m actually shocked that they solved it in one episode! And we’re back at him being just so so so thirsty for Xi Gu. He’s actually planning their first time AAAAAAAAA my baby doing it right. Take that Bo Xiang! 

Also Hao Ting giving zero fucks to his major as long as he can live with Xi Gu is peak dumbass culture. I’m sorry y’all. It’s not like I’m mad at it. Hao Ting is perfectly understandable. He might not be thinking about college at all before Xi Gu entered his life, but kids, please choose your major wisely. It’s not good to base your college choices on a relationship. Not because I’m assuming teenage relationships are fickle or superficial, but rather, college is something for yourself. What you will study is a prospect for how you want to be in the future. And only you should get to decide on that. Having the, “I don’t care what I study for college, I just need to get it done” thinking is setting yourself to fail. (I’m sorry I’m quite sensitive about this because I based my college choice on what my parents want and wasted 2 years of my life depressed before I actually had the courage to change my program to what I really like)

Other than that, I think this episode was perfect! I was expecting some sort of downtime and more plot development and character interactions in this episode. But I was surprised they actually managed to do that while making every second worth the watch! NOW I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE DOUBLE DATE AAAAAAAAA

...About being Bi

I tought it would be a good idea on writing my thoughts down, so here I am.

I was always fascinated by the female body, while on the other hand,the male body, especially the d*ck, always turned me off. It was so... _gross _to picture the image of one in my mind. So as I grew older and started watching porn -like every horny teenager-, i realized that the ones i watched where female starring . This did not strike me as odd, because i once read in a infamous teen-magazine, that it was completely normal for a teenager to watch only the same-sex-videos, cause it was more familiar. So I shrugged it off. But then I dreamed about it and had fantasies about girls, but at the same time I was only (romantically) interested in the boys I know in real life. 

I always played with the question if I could be bi, but I did not allow myself to think about it further since i was afraid of what I should do after that. Should I come out to my parents? My Friends? Would they accept me if i did?_ Would I accept me?_

But then came the day where I was at my friends house and she asked me a question. “So the other girls in our class think you are  bisexual or a lesbian and I only wanted to ask if it is true?”. Strangely I was not shocked by the question and simply said no while laughing. But as I came home that day, the question was still in my mind. And for the first time ever I allowed myself to think about it. During this time I listened a little bit to Kpop and I noticed that I found one female singer very very attractive, which became another indication for my sexuality. After hours of thinking and me crying my eyes out, I finally came to the realization that I_ must_ be Bi. I called the friend and after that my best and one other friend i was really close with, and told them the news. Luckily they all accepted it, for which i am extremly thankful, even now.

So what followed was that I came out to my whole friend group on my 17th birthday- afterwards someone named all the things I could have done better, and to my mum, who gave me the famous “It is maybe just a phase”-line, but was over all  very supportive.

But as i grew a little older- like one year- I am struggling harder with my sexuality than i had before my coming-out. The thing is, that i was never romantically or sexually interested in a girl I know, not as I am in boys. I always think this girl is cute or really really pretty, but not attractive. It is different with girls I see on IG, TitTok etc, there are many girls I find sexually attractive, but not in real life. So this gave me something to think about. Am i really BI? Do I like girls or just the idea of girls? Do I use Bisexuality to make me feel special, to set me apart from others?

Additional to that I felt never really home in the Bisexual-community. There is, Especially on Tik-Tok, the idea that Bisexuals do not understand why the like boys and/or like girls a lot more than boys. ( I do not want to hurt this community or the people behind it, it is just my experience. I am very sorry if I offended anyone). Which is something I could never identify with. I love Boys, I even have a Boyfriend, and so always thought that I do not belong there, because i like them, maybe even more than I like Girls.

So to sum it up, I do not know what I am anymore and what I should identify as, and this hurts my brain. Labels are  unnecessary and hurtful, I know, but need to know it,just for myself. For me, my sexuality is a pretty big part of who I am and now there is just a pretty big hole.

A little talk about my IRL friends who also read (and love) Tower of God!

They are the only IRL (female) friends from my college (they’re even in my circle i’m so lucky) who I can fangirl to. Not to mention their birthdays are only few weeks apart, and I was thinking why don’t draw something related to TOG? And I decided to draw tsum-tsums lol. Let’s start from the very first person I drew. I would definitely love it if you would read my long paragraphs!

The one holding Bam tsum-tsum is, by far, the closest friend i’ve had in college. I just met her a year ago and I can already feel the chemistry between us. Half a year later we found out that we share the same ex :OO how small can this world be? She loves reading webtoon! I’m pretty sure she wasn’t interested in TOG at first but I PULLED HER INTO MY PIT. She loves it now. She hates spoilers so whenever I read the korean updates I made sure I SEND HER spoilers :DDDD We talked everyday and our gallery is filled with TOG memes and screenshots. I feel like I can make a whole season out of it lmao. I also felt comfortable enough to talk about my problems with her, and vice versa. She likes both Khun and Bam but her favorite is Bam, so I gave her what she likes, since it was her birthday. She’s neutral to LGBT but is kinda negative to the idea of two guys having romantic interests, so I hardly ever send her any bakon stuffs. BUT she hardly needs to admit that Khun’s speech to Evan was kinda----gay??? I know it’s pure friendship but it’s like the impression of two guys walking together in 2017 is different from 2007. My country is still far from accepting LGBT and the translation erased bam’s name from the “I feel like the world is gonna end if Bam isn’t here.” I originally only wanted to draw her but I felt like It would be unfair to the others, so I decided to make a set. It’s sad that she stopped college just a month ago, though we’re still in touch, I’m just really really sad.

The second one is the one holding Urek. She never knew TOG exist. BUT I also pulled her into my pit :DD She’s an ultimate fujoshi (I can’t keep up with her tbh she’s just so pro) so i thought hey why don’t send her bakon pics? And she liked it! I remember the first time she questioned me “who the f*ck is viole????” and me and my friends would only laugh. She then began reading and realized her whole life was a lie lmao. Though she liked Khun as a top, I tried million times to convince her that Bam has more potential. She then accepts the term that if it’s viole then it’s ok and i’m like WHAT U MEAN DUDE THEY’RE THE SAME PERSON. I also showed her pics of urek at first because she’s into the type of muscular guys, so-yeah. GUESS WHAT?? SHE BETRAYED ME. Soon after, she began shipping Bam and Urek and I’m like Y U DO DIS TO ME U BETRAYED KHUN HOW COU--AHem. Anyway, she only reads up to the end of archimedes arc and forgot to continue until now. But I still send her TOG updates everyday(she likes spoilers) :D  She’s more than happy to know Bam and Urek met again and i’m like nO DON’T FORCE UR RELIGION ON ME. I don’t really talk much about personal matters with her though

The third one is the one holding Hatsu! She’s really smol for her age and she’s really cute! But she’s fierce though :O She wouldn’t hold back to slap a guy! She originally likes... IDK? I think she likes bam too? And she also liked Hockney’s design but in the end she decided Hatsu (I told her I can’t draw hockney and she needs to choose someone who is not new and appeared more often). She’s an avid reader of Webtoon and also a fujoshi, I didn’t have to pull her into my pit. We just made a tunnel to connect to each others’ pits. At first knowing she likes TOG too, knowing her being a fujo, I suggested bakon to her and she innocently asked me “Really? Then who would tops?” And I answered her, straightforward : “Khun of cours-- wait.” That led to half an hour of brainstorming and a week later i told her “Khun is a bottom.” And in the end we kinda agreed that they could switch.

The one holding Khun is....me....*nervous laughter* It might be the most self-indulgencing thing I’ve ever done. Forgive me. Also the khun and the hatsu were colored together it felt like those tsum-tsums are glaring at each other.

Since the first one is bam, i decided the other three should be male characters as well.

Prince of Tennis Addiction

WARNING: VERY LONG, a whole BIOGRAPHY, written this so when the time comes that I am no longer in this world I want it to be in my EULOGY or something XD.

Well since this is a blog about Prince of Tennis, or specifically Atobe Keigo, let me share to you this 22 years old lady’s memory with this masterpiece. Sadly we moved to Canada so most of the supposed to be evidence are left in the Philippines, but If I could find some I would gladly share it.

Prince of Tennis was aired in the Philippines at around late 2005 or early 2006 at QTV channel 11, since it was a new TV station and its sister company, GMA, has been our channel since I was born and they have the slogan that they will focus on NEWS rather than dramas and stuff my dad obviously supported this channel. And by late 2005 a commercial about Prince of Tennis is released, and I believe it is one of the channels’ first anime and the time slot if I recall right is around 4pm ish? Just after school. I am still 10 years old by that time I believe, and is currently at 6th grade (Grade 6 in the Philippines).

So here is kinda a drama thing part on my side, that time we had a family problem so we abruptly moved to a new place, sadly that was like the final semester for me in the 6th grade and I was suddenly forced to leave my friends/companions since 1st grade and interact with whole new people in my last 3-4 months in grade school (elementary in the Philippines). It was a living nightmare, I left my best friends and crush (excuse me it was a 3 year unrequited love haha) without even being able to say Goodbye. I can’t disclose why, it is really private, but It was like one night we were woken up all things are packed and we are told by my parents to go. That time I didn’t know why exactly yet, but I kinda have a hunch. We rode our owner (a jeep styled vehicle) and we drove far south (we lived far north, Bulacan for those who knows) and stayed with my grandpa at Cavite. Well this was a whole hullabaloo, but I swear this part had a great huge impact why this show grew so close to me.

And then I couldn’t transfer right away because papers and such needs to be processed, where we moved is really province like. We are surrounded by trees and such, and it was a small yet comfortable house. I am not too inclined with internet and computers yet at that time, I just visited a computer shop 1 or 2 times? to see my crush :D. We had a computer class before but it is all about MS word, excel, etc. So where I am getting at is that my only means of watching anime is the TV. Oh the glorious Television that doesn’t have a Cable, meaning we can only watch local channels.. so the ever popular anime channel like HERO and ANIMAX is out of reach. So while I was stuck at home I often browse the TV and one day I came across that PRINCE OF TENNIS COMMERCIAL. I have always been an anime fan since I was a kid, I don’t buy merch and anything because we are relatively just a normal family, no excess money or such but we are living comfortably with a small family-owned store that we left when we moved. So the commercial just mainly shows Ryoma, like meet the Prince of Tennis kind of thing. And for a 2000 anime, RYOMA was like HOT DANG !!!!!! So I looked so forward to it, drooling hyped every time the commercial is shown (I was basically waiting for it to be shown in the TV that I kinda memorized the sequence and time and change channels to QTV when I know they will show it), and have been eagerly waiting for it to be broadcasted.

I don’t remember if it was being broadcasted by the time I started my new school life or not, but as I knew it was really awkward at start. I really don’t fancy the idea of moving so I was really quiet and even if it is just a 4-5 hour drive from my previous home the way everybody acts and the tones in their voices is all new to a 10 years old me. I kinda felt to be just a shut in, thinking that I just need to be with them for 3-4 month, not too long.. don’t need any friends. When I get home I started watching Prince of Tennis, so first episodes is about the HOT small kid playing tennis who is often underestimated, I got hooked in this cocky little brat for the first few episodes. Then a tall guy showed up, then a scary snake like character (I really didn’t like Kaidoh at first, but NOW i LOVE him). It was a chill episode until...until....until... THE SENPAI’S SHOWED UP. GOD DANG those HOT LITTLE POTATOES BAKED WELL DONE. I SQUEALED. Let us all be honest here, FUJI will be the first guy who will catch your eyes !!!!!!!! but as I continue to watch I slowly liked EIJI. I don’t normally like over clingy, childish and noisy guys but Eiji is precious. 

One day I went to school and saw a group of girls talking i kinda peeked and saw they are holding a sticker set of PRINCE OF TENNIS *Eyes Sparkled* and I guess their radar felt a fangirl next to them and I joined their conversation. I am kinda sad I think i lost that sticker but I swear it was with me until college, but eiji didn’t have a solo sticker but I got to get one from her.

UPDATE: F*ck I still have it I am literally CRYING guys, i bought it all the way here in Canada it was in my wallet, 12 years, this is literally my treasure now.

It looks icky and old, but it is with me for a whole 12 years T_T. It was kinda a proof of friendship or sort, it is also my first prince of tennis item.

And by then I had a set of friends. Namely, Jessa Fe, Jeanette and Jenelyn who are the Ryoma Squad. Captain (Maris) well obviously we know whose squad she is but the funny thing until now I still call her captain instead of her name. And my best friend and 100% Rival, Ana who as “rival” indicates is on the Eiji squad. We bicker everyday on who owns the potatoe. Then with friends who loves the same show I do and with the everyday topic about them I also slowly fell in the dept, in love with this show who have given me happiness and friends in that short period of 3-4 months. 

The TV show only finished until the Hyotei Arc I believe, so I decided to buy a DVD of it to be able to watch the whole show, until RIKKAI DAI only because the nationals are still not available by that time I believe. And by that time my main hoe is EIJI and I really didn’t like Atobe at first he was a bastard, he was a flirt with the annoying Ann and he was too arrogant.

I started buying 20 PHP (around 50c usd?) stickers, sadly those for sure I left in my box in the Philippines, although I still have them but I couldn’t bring them.. maybe when I go back in the Philippines i will get them and bring them along with me. And i got addicted on doing FAN FICTIONS, i don’t have it too because it was too thick i left it in the box in the Philippines too along with everything :’( I should have bought it instead of my ex’s memories and stuff. Dang. I will search my FB later to see if I posted pictures of it or something. Sobs. It was handwritten and it was like a 5 notebook sewn together, and then it had 2 other notebooks all about it. 

Basically that fan fiction is about US, and other girls and the Prince of Tennis Characters. The story goes as me, whose name I changed as Narusime Atobe, yeah by that time I still just “like” atobe~sama and since he is rich the perfect scenario is to be the protagonist as atobe’s sister. It started at October 03 where supposedly the next day is Atobe’s birthday but he didn’t feel like celebrating it because his family is nowhere near him until he received a call from his sister telling that she was finally allowed to go home and stay with him in Japan, which overjoyed Atobe. So to celebrate both his birthday and his sisters homecoming he decided to throw an extravagant birthday party (within a freaking day) and the scene goes as where he visited each school to invite them. While I arrived in the airport and suddenly saw a cat in the Narita airport and played with it because it was all alone when a small brat came and get the cat and thanks shyly. He introduce himself as Echizen as he go. And then I remembered that was the name of the guy who defeated my onii-sama so I decided to look around Japan because there is still too much time and I want to buy the best gift for my onii-sama. As I am walking with my tennis bag a guy with red hair suddenly bumped to me and I fell, he helped me stand but he was in a hurry so he said thank you and grabbed MY things and run. Shocked, I checked his bag and saw it says SEIGAKU, so I decided to visit their school to get my things and meet ECHIZEN. I believe along the way i had fated meeting with gakuto, marui and kamio. Yah it was a RED HEAD HAREM for me THANK YOU. Well yadda yadda. Onii-sama had her own romance too with a flower shop poor girl who is in hyotei through scholarship. It was a sexy love story. She is annoyed on how arrogant atobe is but due to a lot of circumstances love blossomed. Every single prince of Tennis guys had their own girls <3 my personal favorite is Mizuki’s and Akutsu’s love story. Mizuki’s is RATED 18+ while Akutsu is a sweet little one. Oh and my friends have their own respective role too. Like 3 girls for Ryoma. Ana is my rival, so i portrayed her as my cousin who looks a little similar to me where my harem mistaken her to be me. And she liked Eiji. Tezuka and Captain Maris are strong and steady and they have a sweet sexy relationship. So yea, when I was 11 years old by that time I’ve been doing this scenes even if I am still a virgin girl who never had a relationship :D . There was no smut or anything, just a suggestive one. I swear I am retrieving that book when I go to vacation in the Philippines. 

While still doing the fanfiction I eventually entered middle school (we call it high school in the Philippines). I didn’t go to the same school of my friends because they went to a school that requires you to convert to a different religion. We are not a strong catholic believer, but my parents didn’t like the idea of changing religions just to join that school so I went to a different one. Sadly, the start of my high school life wasn’t that fun. My classmates are aware of the show, but they are not hyped or anything about it maybe also because we have the mindset that entering this stage of life means that we need to be more matured, children often wants to seek new things like drinking, playing hooky and dating. Sadly that didn’t apply to me. In the bright side my elementary friends houses are just next to mine so I visit them when I have free time and go fan girl with them, although that slowly changed too because they got too busy in school work and since they all went at the same school often I couldn’t ride along with their conversations about different people so I slowly felt isolated again. That time instead of those I got addicted on going to Computer Shops and stay online. Our home doesn’t have a computer or internet so I visited computer shops daily and that is where a new stage of my life involving prince of tennis started.

I got addicted in watching youtube videos dedicated to Prince of Tennis and then I came across FORUMS and joined them. That is where I met several online friends who LOVED prince of tennis as much as I do. And I feel at home again. I got people who understands me and it was fun. Daily i would converse with them and since i love making fan fiction i got involved in RP-ing. I just had a small group of friends. And the site we joined is a very big community so sometimes we couldn’t just be ourselves because we need to follow rules and such. That is when I decided to make my own FORUM. The site is still up nowadays, I am planning tor revive it but as of now it is at a stale state you can visit it if you like here are the links:

http://tenipuri02.proboards.com/

This one is a site dedicated to Prince of Tennis. It is just a general one, I made it first and it was pretty chill but it involved more discussions rather than RP. I am not planning on reviving this site but I do plan on reviving the next one.

http://tenipurirpsite.proboards.com/

This site is called “Atobe’s Island” It is our main RP site and we had fun even if it just lasted around 2 years i had the best online friends there.

These forums are very small, the members are too little but they are just my close online friends whom lived around the world. It was the best way to connect with them. And this years was simply one of the most memorable years for me. I made a best friend name Valeria. She liked Fuji, while me on that time loved Atobe. I will talk more about how I gradually loved the characters i love at a different post because this will turn out to be a book rather than a long novel. So valeria is from hondouras, and she was very dear to me. I lied to her though, since we are RP-ing  18+ stuff, I kinda lied about my age and appearance. I am sorry. I was just 12 year old that time and I want to join the circle so I lied and say I was 20 something... Sorry Valeria. She was the sweetest girl ever. She sent me a package from Hondouras. It was a personalized letter and an art of Atobe whom she painted. I left Atobe’s painting in the Philippines too because it is too big but I believe I bought the letter. Let me look at my things later and take a picture of it and search my Facebook for it. Then post it. 

UPDATE: Sadly I can’t seem to find it I will try finding my whole facebook again when I get the time. HUHUHU

Yet all things must come to an end, my grandma have a home at the city and my relatives who previously lived there will move so we are told to just stay there because somebody needs to take care of the house. My mom by that time is also going to school for the Caregiver course, and to be able to go here to Canada. Eventually we moved, and that time I wasn’t able to go at computer shops and got too busy at the school. City life and people are different and fast paced so you need to follow them or you will be left behind. And by that time I was 2nd year(8th grade) at Moonwalk, I met my 1st relationship, it was an 8 year relationship, we just broke up recently when I migrated here at Canada last year. Since then I have always serious with study, and not to brag but I am always top in my class and around top 5 in the whole school, but I could still watch anime because that is the only two major things i need to balance aside from friends and family. Yet being in a relationship, the balance got disrupted. My relationship was ok, because that person also likes anime. They watched prince of tennis too but wasn’t that hyped about it. They liked Detective conan though, that is how I got close to them and eventually start a relationship. I don’t know if they hated Atobe from the start or just hated him because I really loved Atobe too much and just go talking about him for hours. They said atobe is arrogant and a loser, who lose from Ryoma, he was a villain who destroyed Tezuka’s shoulder. Of course I defended Atobe but I will do it in another post because there are too many people who says the same. Yet, I slowly mellowed down on prince of tennis and explored different anime’s with them. Although Atobe is my no.1 hoe that time, my relationship became my first priority and atobe was kinda tossed aside and i slowly left the fangirl mode and just became a normal otaku who loves anime so I wasn’t active anymore with the forum and neglected it. I got friends who have different interest. I was still out of place but that time what runs on my mind is to the same as the norm or else I will be alone. I still have my comfort zone with my boyfriend who loves anime, so when we are out chilling we watch anime and stuff. I wasn’t particularly so happy, but wasn’t sad either. Entering my 4th year of high school (10th grade) I got more involved with school works because by that time the k+12 system isn’t applied yet so college is next. I still like anime, but I can’t find people who shares the same passion as I do. I still watch and play JRPGames but not with a group of people.

I entered college and took Psychology. That is the time of my life where I realize that individuality, uniqueness and having your own passion is beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find people who share the same interest as you, you can just find people who will like you even if you share different interest. That is how i found a group of various individuals who are still my friends nowadays to this very moment even if 2 of us migrated and most of them are working already we still chat at our group chat every single day. I realize that I don’t need to be the same as the norm, I expressed myself more as an OTAKU, an ANIME lover. I didn’t mind wearing headphone I bought from COMIC ALLEY (an official anime merch store in the philippines), or wearing ID laces of my baes. I listen to anime music going to school and home. I watch anime during break time. I got senpai’s (higher year people with the same course) who loves anime, i sometimes join the conversation and take picture with them when they do cosplay. As much as I would love to cosplay and join CONVENTION I am too poor. And if there is one thing my group of friends share in common in the like for a chill drink out. At holidays I spend time with my ex and we made friends with the owners of the computer shops we often play at or hang out of. I often drink with their wives too because I can be awkward at first but I know how to keep a conversation going. And while creating this blog and searching for some stuff I remembered a Christmas gift given to me last 2015 by the computer shop owner, they knew i love Prince of Tennis and I just saw it again now and I only got to open it today

It was a postcard thingy .. no Atobe Sadly.

We often play League, watch anime together and stuff. It was fun but at near the end of my college life I encountered another turning point in my life. 

Our visa has been approved and we are migrating here in Canada. We were expecting it for a long time now but then of course when it is actually happening you can’t just seem to be ready. I left most of my anime posters and such in the Phil because my luggage was composed of all the teddy bears from my ex (i deeply regret huhuhu) . Living here in Canada is entirely different once again, because people doesn’t share the same nationality as you more often than not engaging to conversations is hard although Canadians are entirely nice. As of now I still don’t have a group of friends next to me who likes Anime as much as I do, but the internet is actually enough for now. I also got a Job, and even if the pay isn’t too great I got to have an extra money so I was able to buy all the things i want and can afford on ebay. The very first item I bought on ebay is this::

hehe of course an Atobe Dakimakura to keep me accompany at night.

For the 1st year at canada I bought several cosplay stuff. So basically I am living the life I have always wanted. I participated at the Anime North convention. This time I love Atobe, but Prince of Tennis is kinda not that no.1 in my heart because of the new animes such as Haikyuu, Attack on Titan and many much more.

Out of a whim last June or July I decided that I kinda want to watch Prince of Tennis from the start till the end once again, I am not skipping any episodes even if I hate Ryoma (yes I hate Ryoma since early the start, I think I just liked that cocky kid when I watched the commercial where him speaking is just minimal, I’ll explain in at another post). 

This post is when I started watching again.

And of course after all is said and done, I realized once again that this show is just too precious, there is nothing like it. I was trapped from the start, along with all the great memories this. And once again from just a simple otaku I became a bona fide fangirl of my hoes, baes and potatoes. I stumbled here in Tumblr while looking for Tenipuri products to add in my collection. As of now these:

It’s kinda sad that I got addicted with it again a little late in the game, I know it is still ongoing and very much alive in the eastern part of the world. Yet the tenipuri fever here in the western part is not as fiery as how it is supposed to be. At anime north the only “Atobe” item I could get is this little key chain. 

I am glad though that there are still pages here in tumblr that still loves prince of tennis. I also found a reliable merchant where I can order the Tenipuri goods. I just got the cash now so there are a lot of merch I missed, but slowly I will gather all of them. I also plan on going in Japan in the future and hunt all these products myself. If only I had the money and the resources before, then maybe I could have a lot more in cheaper price T_T . Yet I am glad that the fandom is still alive, it always brighten my day to see people still loving prince of tennis. It keeps me alive. It keeps me happy. I wish someday I get to meet all these people who shares the same interest with me. This show is one of the things that defines me, I won’t be Alpha without Prince of Tennis. I just love it.

More than giving the details on why I love Prince of Tennis, I discussed on HOW i came to love it. It was part of almost every turning point of my life since it started. I am forever grateful of this show. It makes me smile, laugh, sad.. all in all experience different emotions while watching it. I am very thankful of konomi sensei as well. I will always love and support it until the day I am no longer breathing. In the future please put all of my Prince of Tennis goods in my casket/coffin especially the Atobe Figurines XD. This went longer than expected but this is literally my life. Nothing will ever change the influence this show have in my life and I believe no Anime will ever be as meaningful as this show. I also am starting to do little fan arts nowadays, I am not so inclined with art and I just got the inspiration to do it when I watched Prince of Tennis again, look forward to more Prince of Tennis/Atobe Updates in this blog.

Thank you very much on reading this blog (if you actually read till the end). I might update it soon when i get the other images of my childhood with Prince of Tennis HAHA, Lets continue to support this show forever.

But before then, let’s get to meet and know our new superhero. On the day we sat for our roundtable interview, Tom has not turned 21 yet (his birthday is on June 1st) and he proved to be quite a charmer like Peter Parker himself. During the interview, he revealed what one thing he did to get the part: He lied about his height. Tom, who is 5’8”, added two inches to his height when he sent in his initial audition reel. “Basically, you have to do a thing called an Ident, which is where you sent in a self-tape from a script that they sent you,” he playfully recalled. “But before that, you have to give a brief summary of who you are and say how tall you are. Every actor lies so I told them I am five foot ten!”

Of course, he got the part because he deserved it. For his initial reel, after introducing himself, he did several back flips to showcase his acrobatic talent. Tom is a trained actor and dancer who made his theater debut in Billy Elliot the Musical. In 2012, his turn as the son of Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor in the terrific disaster drama The Impossible earned him wide acclaim and various awards. He has starred opposite Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hardy and Chris Hemsworth before he got the biggest role in his young career. A plum role that took him five months to get, seven auditions, two screen tests and a not-so-memorable first encounter with the iconic Spider-Man suit.

“I was cast in Civil Wars very late and basically, they decided to put me in my stunt double’s suit, who they had already been shooting with, and he was much bigger than I was!” he recalled. “So the first time I put it on, it was really like saggy and, kind of, a sad-looking Spider-Man. It wasn’t quite heroic as I would have hoped but when we got to making my movie, when we put the real suit on, it was a pretty tremendous experience.”

Earlier, he described to us his experience during the casting process.

“The casting process was really, really grueling. It was tough because it started off as a pipe dream. And then it started becoming a reality quite quickly and it suddenly became something that could possibly happen. When I realized that I was down to maybe the last 50, I became obsessed with Spider-Man like it was my life! I was like ‘This was my role, I am gonna get it, I am gonna do everything in my power to get this role’ and I searched the Internet every day, day in and day out, to find news about the casting.”

“I think I did seven auditions in total,” he added. “I did two screen tests and after my second screen test, I was told by my agents that I will find out the next day whether I got it or I hadn’t got it — and it was like a month and a half later when I found out that I got the part so it was really stressful. I was convinced that I didn’t get it but it was definitely a fun experience.”

In those five months, Tom was still able to complete three other movies! Now, if that isn’t heroic enough maybe his being named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest person to ever play a Marvel superhero will convince you.  

And for someone who plays a superhero with superpowers derived from hybrid spiders, it’s somewhat ironic that he would be deathly scared of spiders himself. “I hate spiders! I hate spiders so much! When we moved to Atlanta, we were like, ‘We should get a spider and call it Peter.’ And we went to the pet shop and I left within five minutes. There’s no way I am living with a tarantula in my house!”

Instead of having a pet spider, Tom and his best friend found a Tortoise in their garden and named him Peter.

Tom could be very animated and funny when he is recalling stories. When asked what’s the scariest stunt he ever did, he told us a very funny story that sent all of us laughing in the room.

“Shouldn’t have been scary but because of the circumstances that we did it in, it was quite scary,” he began. “Basically, I have been wrapped and I went back to my trailer. I took my costume off, I put my clothes on and my best friend Harrison was there as my assistant so he had bought me two burgers and chips and I stuffed my face. I was so hungry!”

“And then,” he continued, “as I was leaving my trailer to go home, they were like, ‘Oh no, we made a mistake. We need you back on set,’ and I am like, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s fine, it’s cool.’ And then I get to the set and I was told, ‘We are gonna do this stunt with you where you are gonna nosedive off this wall.’ And I am like, ‘Huh! I just ate like a mountain of food!’ So I put this harness on, which is called a corset harness, which when tightened up, it really tightens up just around your midsection, which is the worst thing possible right now, you know, and basically, I had to sit on the edge of the Washington Monument and hold on to the left shaft and then, they’d go ‘3...2...1...’ and they’d yank me forward and I would dive down 30 feet and they would catch me on wires...”

He paused then he continued, “Umm, the stunt was safe. It was 100-percent safe. There was nothing that could have gone wrong with the stunt but the only thing that didn’t feel safe was that if you throw up in that suit, it will cover all your mouth and you wouldn’t be able to (breathe). I think you would drown, right? So I was so scared that I was gonna throw up in my mask and luckily enough I didn’t.”

While filming the movie, rumors circulated that Tom deliberately avoided seeking advice from Tobey and Andrew. He belied this during the interview and praised the two actors for what they have done to the character before.

“It was a really surreal experience for me,” he said, recalling the first time he met Andrew in person at the BAFTAs several days before our interview. “I am someone who looks up to his predecessors and he, kind of, passed on the torch. He said to me how happy he was for me and how excited he was for the movie and I expressed how excited I was with what he was doing.”

Asked if he was ready to handle the tremendous fame that would come his way when Spider-Man: Homecoming opens in theaters beginning next month, he surprised us with a thoughtful reply.

“It’s not one of those things you can really prepare for. I am just very lucky to have a very good strong family. I have a very good strong group of friends who would be the first to tell me that I am being a d*ck. It’s very easy in this industry, specially here in Hollywood, to get caught up with what I call ‘Yes’ people, people who are always like, ‘You are amazing, you’re this. You’re so fantastic, we love you, we love you!’ My parents saw one of my films the other day and my dad was like, ‘Ehhh... That was just alright.’ Thanks Dad! But you know, that’s good to have. That’s a real critic. That gives me the motivation to be like, ‘The next thing I do, you’re gonna love.’ So, it’s very good for me and I am very lucky and the more and more I go through this process, the more and more valuable I realize my friends and family are.”

Of course, no interview with actors portraying superheroes would be complete without the requisite question: “If you can have a superpower, what will it be?”

Tom replied with a rambling answer. First, he said he’d like to time travel or teleport or control time. Then he said he also would like to control water and make people explode because our bodies are made up mostly of water anyways.

This writer, sensing another funny anecdote, asked Tom how many times has he been asked the same question before and he instantly replied, “So many times!” And how many times has he answered differently? “Oh, it changes all the time,” he said laughing. “It depends on what I am doing. If I am stuck in traffic, I’d f--ing teleport.”

But what if he had the power to grant superpowers to 15 year olds, what would it be?

“Confidence,” he replied in an almost whisper-like tone. “If you give everyone confidence in themselves and believe in who they are, then you’d have the most powerful generation ever. A lack of confidence is one of the biggest hindrances ever. I’ve been through it and once you realize that you only have to impress yourself and the people that are close to you, then you can conquer the world and do whatever you want.”
