#crepe says dumb shit

[crepegosette]

You’d think the way I draw girl characters would say something about me, like my sexuality or tastes, but honestly the real reason is that I find women neat™️

[monards]

the voices are telling me to give in and write my absurdly long rant abt how Rhinedottir’s more than the propagnda and didn’t just send albedo to mond to explode everything

[someonebeatyoutothisuser]

Can you please rant to me about how much you hate GingerBrave smut and Pure Vanilla? I hate GingerBrave smut too

OML YES PLEASE. For starters, it's clear that pure vanilla cannot handle his own problems alone and I'm honestly sick of people not talking about it, people be saying that he's one of the strongest ancients but I'm not seeing it, it's no shit people see him as a TWINK because he fucking acts like one, He can't face his own problems and relies on others to do so, like white lily with shadow milk cookie and GingerBrave for the cookie of darkness + dark enchantress cookie, it's also clear he gives no shits about his own people nor about his own fucking family, let's talk about how his youngest descendant was left in a forest to fucking die by his own family and pure vanilla didn't even know, also, you get how pure vanilla is ONLY involving GingerBrave? Talking about taking him to war and everything? Like what the fuck makes him think it's okay? Even if GingerBrave wants this, why the fuck would he still do it?! GingerBrave is a three year old in a twelve year olds body, and also I'm pretty damn sure GingerBrave was being sent into this, the others were given a choice and he couldn't even be there for his friend. If he had just heard her out he would've prevented this, GingerBrave had no reason at all to be thrown in this, and also im sick of people victimizing him, like "ohh poor pure vanilla" or "pure vanilla is a good guy!" Even if he regretted his past mistakes, he is clearly training GingerBrave to be his tool only to toss him out when he's done, he doesn't care about GingerBrave or anybody that isn't himself, I'd actually argue he's worse than dark enchantress cookie, pure vanilla is dumb and that's saying a lot for the supposed ancient of wisdom, then when I say this to his fans about why I don't like him they want to get all mad and shit, pure vanilla cookie failed to represent and lead his people which was why the raisin village was being invaded by waffle bots and the vanilla kingdom became timeless and over taken by DE, I'm surprised everyone forgave him after everything he did, it's like he has everyone wrapped around his finger, in my opinion pure vanilla is the WEAKEST ancient I ever fucking seen, at least the other ancients can handle their own fucking problems and not send a literal child into this, pure vanilla is supposed to be this peace maker and voice of reason but I feel like people are glorifying him way too much. Pure vanilla lacks general remorse and emotion towards his people and those around him. Better yet, I'm sick of people making pure vanilla cookie seem like a father figure for GingerBrave, like dark cacao or dark Choco or the other ancients I can see that but pure vanilla?

And as for GingerBrave smut, I fucking hate it, people are generally sick in the head, especially the bitches who would age him up to make it okay, like when will they learn that it isn't fucking okay, people would proship this boy, draw him pregnant and even make jokes of the one ad, if it was someone like sorbet shark cookie or sherbet cookie, there would be absolute out rage, but the minute it's GingerBrave all of a sudden it doesn't matter. People had pair GingerBrave up with everyone, his fucking brother included, I swear if it was some other character there would be actual cancelations. When it comes to other characters being proshipped, they wanna scream, get angry, start an actual outrage, rant on how their minors but the minute it's GingerBrave who is one of the most shipped fucking characters is the victim of this, people wanna make jokes or not care, it's actually hard to find people who would actually act out on proshippers who'd proship GingerBrave to no end, like people would do it for cream puff, people would do it for wizard cookie, hell people will do it for strawberry crepe cookie but the minute it's GingerBrave it's fucking SILENCE. Like not a word, NOTHING. I hate how people turn a blind eye on GingerBrave, hell I swear the only reason people are even talking about it is because their favorite adult cookie is in it, hell some people would say they like it when it comes to GingerBrave, you notice how they would age GingerBrave up in some aus to ship him with adults, even making some rape him it's wrong and fucking nasty but people are acting like it's okay because it's fucking GingerBrave.

[starkid256]

can i rant about how bad 2023 is for me rq?

ok so in the first couple of months of 2023 i was doing great. new year new me amiright. i was chillin on the crk wiki n shit and i wasnt doing very well in school but what can you do the us education system is flawed and nothing can fix it. i made a contest for people to draw strawberry crepe cuz that was the rage and all. once the deadline hit, i was ready to make the prizes.

i hit the biggest fucking roadblock in my life.

i just got hit with the worst burnout and depression i have ever had in my life. it took 11-12 days to write something with 1k words. this depression is still there. it pains me to even attempt to draw or write or anything. whatever, depression like this is very common. eventually, i moved on from the crk wiki and went to comic studio.

oh. comic studio. where do i begin?

to start off, if you dont already know, comic studio is a website to share comics. shocker i know. i met some friends on here from there. some of my moots i met from cs. and yet, it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. there was drama left and right, mainly centering some specific sensitive users that ive blocked on here, there were people sending death threats and threatening to kill themselves every day. and i desperately told them that their lives had value. all of this drama and suicide baiting was absolutely murdering my mental health in cold blood, so when i broke my kindle screen, i had an episode where i nearly killed myself. no one saw. not anyone irl, not anyone online except for a friend who didnt take it seriously. i didnt really draw too much attention to it anyways. btw, all of this was happening while my dad ran off with my now stepmom and was dumb enough to put himself into a mentally abusive relationship. my mom, who i live with, hates those two so much. also my stepmom is queerphobic and has internalized conservativity.

i got tumblr as soon as i got my first phone, near the start of june. i love tumblr with all my heart, but it fucking murders your mental health nearly just as bad as cs. i mean, what do you expect from a website that makes you think that all the problems of the world are your fault? i have met great people here, but it still fucking sucks.

the real nail in the coffin was when a user on comic studio (who i have now blocked on tumblr) made a half baked shitty "callout post" on me. i will say, i did do something wrong that i apologized for afterwards, but everything else was past drama that they brought up even though i had already apologized for all of it. i apologized, and decided that i should leave comic studio. and so i did. keep in mind that all of this has been happening while my main family (which means excluding my dad and step mom) lives paycheck to paycheck.

now flash forward to the present. im on my phone for 14 hours a day on average laying on the couch scrolling through tumblr and watching youtube and playing roblox wishing i was dead. i have no one to blame for this behavior but myself. i would hope that the rest of 2023 is ok, but i already know i will have a horrible rest of the year. yeah this was a rly big rant. ily guys and i hope your 2023 was better than mine.

[devilsskettle]

i know because i've seen other things this creator has made and they also told me they were planning to make pancakes. i can still enjoy the crepes as you said, but, also as you said, i'm not gonna give them credit for adding the strawberries. i added those

it's also not the best conversational trait to assume that anyone who disagrees with you didn't comprehend either your post or the media in question

1) you’re the only person who is bringing up whether the writers “deserve” credit or not. a work can still be valuable regardless of the writers’ intentions — you misunderstood the original point of the post

2) also part of my point is how people write off any media with gore in it as inherently less valuable because it’s stupid, right? and all the writers are stupid too? no horror writer has ever intended to use gore to make a point beyond shock value? abjection is a worthless thing to discuss in media that YOU think is too stupid to talk about? why do YOU get to make the judgement that we can’t analyze and interpret certain media because YOU don’t think the writers could’ve possibly intended something that does have actual basis for interpretation in the work that THEY wrote so YOU don’t think it can be valuable? obviously i think that’s a dumb opinion based on generalizations

3) HOWEVER let’s assume the writers ARE stupid and they told you personally that they “meant to make pancakes” or whatever. the gore can STILL work to provoke thoughtful interpretation in viewers or have something to say about the nature of living in a body. gore is embodied and not intellectual, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. even if the movie actually is stupid lol. that’s my ENTIRE point like WHAT are you not getting about that. it’s fine if you disagree, obviously i’ll think you’re wrong but you’ll also think i’m wrong and that’s fine, but imo your logic is flawed, your analogy is flawed, and the basis of your argument is flawed because you started arguing with me about something that i did not even address originally

4) most people add something to their pancakes or crepes. if the syrup and strawberries and powdered sugar in this metaphor are interpretation and the pancakes and crepes are stories, then unless you like your breakfast dry and flavorless, you’re gonna add toppings. they were in the cook’s kitchen though, even if he forgot that he had them in his pantry. but even if you don’t want to include the tip on your bill because the restaurant got your order wrong, if you ate and enjoyed the crepes, and you enjoyed the extra toppings you put on them, you still enjoyed the crepes and you’re gonna have to pay your bill at the end of the meal. the manager isn’t gonna take the crepes off your bill if you try to send them back AFTER eating them. the metaphor here being that a good piece of media is still good, and if you don’t think it’s good then that’s an entirely different conversation but whether or not you want to “credit” the writers for the value you find in their work, you got something out of it. don’t dine and dash or whatever

5) i’m not having a conversation with you? i don’t even know who you are. it’s not the best conversational trait to have to hide behind anonymity in order to even engage in the conversation. also you’re saying dumb shit so i’m just connecting the dots here

#86 Mary Anne and Camp BSC: Chapter 13

Karen and her snotty group of friends nearly ruin the camp’s circus performance and the BSC finally gets off their asses and does some babysitting.

We're greeted with this opening, courtesy of Mary Anne: “If the dress rehearsal is a disaster, that means that the show is going to be a success...Because the Camp BSC circus rehearsal wasn't just a disaster, it was a mega-disaster.” Which means one of three scenarios took place:

1. Claire's plan to do a cover of Suzi Barrett's Baloney Dance is blown when she uses real baloney and Dawn flips a shit and spends hours lecturing everyone about the horrors of meat and where baloney really comes from, leaving no time to actually rehearse.

2. Jackie Rodowsky, while spinning for his dance routine, knocks into Jamie Newton, sending him falling to the ground with a bump on his head, punches Charlotte Johanssen in the face, giving her a black eye, then bumps into the barn, causing the whole structure to collapse.

3. Karen and her little group, the kids who went to real circus camp and think they're better than everyone else, aren't prepared for anything and ruin almost every single act with their snotty attitudes and pretentiousness.

Yeah, fairly obvious what happens.

Vanessa's the ringmaster, wearing white jeans tucked into high black rain boots, a red jacket that belongs to her mom and a white t-shirt that says “Ringmaster” on it. Claudia helped her make it, so you just know it's spelled Ringgmastur. She also has a top hat made out of black cardboard and Karen and the real circus camp kids are probably disgusted by it.

Vanessa delivers her monologue, thankfully lays off the poetry but manages to throw in at the end “No matter how things go, I know that you will like our show!” Old habits indeed die hard. First act is the wild animals, and no, it isn't a reality show-esque peek into a Day in the Life of the Pikes.

The trainers are Nicky and Marilyn and both are wearing blue sweatpants and for some reason, sassy t-shirts. Nicky's says Because I'm the Boss, that's why and Marilyn's says I Brake for Chocolate. Maybe they borrowed them from Kristy and Claudia, respectively. The wild animals are Andrew (a tiger), Claire (a lion) and Alicia (a camel). They do animal tricks, including jumping through a hoop with red, orange and yellow crepe paper “fire” and Alicia jumps over some hurdles. Then Jamie steps in and does a tiger dance. I guess Mary Anne forgot to introduce him. The trainers give out treats and the rehearsal is, so far, disaster-free.

Whoops, spoke too soon! The dancing animals are next. Jessi choreographed their dance because that's her one personality trait. Since she's such a good dancer, she made sure to incorporate stuff the kids can do really well into the dance. Stuff we never hear about again, like Margo being able to turn “terrific” cartwheels and Becca's ability to walk on her hands. If you remember our snark on Little Miss Stoneybrook...and Dawn, Jessi said Becca has awful stage fright but I guess that doesn’t count anymore.

Anyway, Becca's dressed as a goat and Margo a bird. The other two kids in it, Hannie and Ricky, obviously have no idea what they're doing, having spent all their time and energy folding their arms and turning their noses up at Camp BSC, bragging that they went to a real circus camp instead of rehearsing. 

And the whole circus begins to unravel. Ricky screws up for the umpteenth time, proclaims that real animals wouldn't be dancing in a real circus anyway, and throws in the towel, Hannie following his lead. Becca asks them what’s the big deal and Ricky says, “No real animal in a real circus would ever do that.” Yeah, well in real life, two 7-year-olds don't get married on the playground to the strains of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star either. So shut the fuck up.

Margo tells them it's their circus and they can do whatever they want. Ricky calls their circus dumb and Margo responds with an “OH YEAH?!?” which makes it sound like she's ready to cut a bitch. Go Margo! 

But before Margo can lay the smack down on Ricky, Vanessa runs in and calls for a curtain, shooing the animal dancers out of the ring before it turns into a bloodbath. Dammit!

As they're ushered away, Becca asks the two snobs, in a “wobbly voice” if they know any of the steps and says in a very roundabout way that they ruined the act. Do the BSC do anything and tell Hannie and Ricky they need an attitude adjustment? No, they just sit there.

The clowns are next - David Michael, Matt, Carolyn, and Natalie. They do clown stuff in clown makeup and wave water guns around. Oh wait. Natalie's the only one not in a costume. Ok, did they all plan this out beforehand like a protest? We'll ruin the circus camp since it isn't a real circus like the one we were in. Kristy stops the music with a slam of her hand...she turns the tape player off, she didn't smash it, though that would have been hilarious. She shouts at Natalie why the hell she doesn't have a costume or makeup on. Yes, be assertive! For once in this godforsaken book.

Natalie responds, “It didn't look like a real clown costume. So I just never finished it.” What the hell? Might I add, Natalie Springer in the Little Sister books is this shy, wimpy girl with droopy socks who gets picked on a lot. She’s been ridiculously out of character this whole book. David Michael defends their costumes, saying they're real but Natalie ignores him. She probably tells herself she doesn't have to deal with this public school scum. Kristy, whose patience is starting to finally wearing thin, orders Natalie to go sit with Mary Anne.

But it doesn't stop there! Natalie keeps bitching on the sidelines, like an angry parent at a Little League game. As the clowns squirt each other with water guns and their makeup runs off, Natalie complains, “The water's making the clowns' makeup run! That's because it's not real clown makeup!” Real makeup still runs, Little Miss Droopy Socks. David Michael, in an amazing move, runs into the audience and dumps oatmeal all over Natalie and angrily tells her that's a real clown trick. 

Go David Michael! Now go dump it on your sister!

Kristy tells them to stay in character and the clowns finish their act, shooting Looks at Natalie the whole time. Can it get worse? It sure can, because guess whose act is next...

Vanessa announces Karen's surprise act - she's going to saw Nancy in half. Oh shit...she wants things to be real? Karen’s going to dismember Nancy!

Getting things off to a very obnoxious start, Karen says in her loudest Outdoor Voice, “THIS WOULD BE BETTER IF WE WERE A REAL CIRCUS CAMP WITH REAL PROPS! But we had to make our own. We hope the audience will understand.” So after the whole clown fiasco, you get this little brat trashing Camp BSC and the BSC themselves for hosting a crappy program. Do the BSC do anything to defend their honor? Of course not, Karen’s their Golden Child! They still sit there and do nothing.

Vanessa isn't standing for it though. She's all WTF because she's supposed to be the one doing the announcements. Uh, Vanessa, Karen tends to do whatever she wants when she's performing. Just look at her class Thanksgiving play. Karen fires back by insulting Vanessa's outfit, saying she looks like a bandleader in a parade, not a ringmaster, because she's holding a baton. WEAK. Vanessa, much like her sister, looks like she's about ready to attack Karen but instead explodes with “Cut it out, you two! Or you will soon be through!”

Karen then rolls her eyes at Vanessa. Whoa, that takes guts. I would never roll my eyes at a kid older than me when I was 7! She sticks Nancy in a cardboard box and soon there's thumping inside after Nancy climbs in. Oh no, she filled it with rabid badgers, who are now attacking Nancy!

Oh wait. No badgers. Two strange, lumpy legs appear out of one end and Nancy pokes her head out of the other one. Logan cracks up and Mary Anne tells us that they're stockings stuffed with toilet paper. Geez, Karen. I thought you were going for accuracy and real-ness. The legs wiggle to show that it's really Nancy and Karen pulls out a small saw, which she holds high in the air. 

Oh, NOW the babysitters react! They all jump up when they see Karen holding a saw but they wouldn't say anything when she was being rude to everyone? Kristy demands to know where she found it. Surprised and sheepish, Karen says she found it lying around in the barn. Nice, BSC! You're hosting a camp for little kids and didn't think to look around the barn for anything dangerous like a SAW?!

Also just need to echo a commenter from when I posted this on LJ. I don’t want to hear the BSC gush over how intelligent and gifted and smart Karen is again when the dumbass brought a REAL SAW to her circus performance, thinking it would be ok.

Kristy asks Karen what possessed her to use a real saw in a circus act and Karen responds with, I kid you not, “Pretend to saw people in half. Kristy! This is a REAL saw because you need REAL things if you are going to have a REAL circus!” No contractions, as always. And who the hell does she think she is, giving that attitude to her older sister, while in a subtle way insulting the BSC? I’m surprised Kristy didn’t do this:

Actually, I’m not surprised. No matter if it’s a BSC book or a Little Sister book, Karen Brewer is always getting away with murder.

Kristy takes a moment to collect her thoughts, then FINALLY says something to Karen and the circus snobs. It took you this long, Kristy? And even what she says is weak: “Karen, I'm glad you and your friends went to circus camp. But that doesn't mean you know everything about circuses. And let me tell you, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

What the hell? Does the BSC not believe in yelling? Where's the, “Look, you guys have been nothing but rude and mean to everyone here, including me and the other sitters. Just because you went to circus camp doesn't mean you know everything. You owe us all apologies because you’ve ruined the circus performance.” There, I wrote Kristy's dialogue, thank me for my help in preparing the manuscript, Ann Martin!

Karen, ever the “it's my way or the highway” type, frowns at Kristy's words of wisdom. What a little brat! Mary Anne then finds her backbone: “Everyone who was at the circus camp learned things. But true performers always do what they are supposed to do. And you guys haven't done that. Now it looks like the circus might not go on.” Ok, she managed to get some guilt-tripping in there but why are they lobbing softballs? They don't have to pull them all over their knees and spank them but at least let them know what they did was wrong and has put the circus performance in jeopardy!

One of Nancy's "legs" falls out, breaking the awkward silence and the sitters laugh at it. And FINALLY, Karen says she's sorry. Nancy too. Yeah, you guys practically destroyed the circus and put a damper on the whole camp and now you say you're sorry? God, this book just made me hate Karen more than I already did. Kristy assures everyone that they'll try and salvage what they can in time for the performance and tells Karen ominously, “We'll talk later.” Which translates to “I'm going to give you another weak talking-to about how you should behave, then we'll tell Watson the Millionaire, he won't punish you and he’ll find a way to reward you somehow.”

The other real circus acts are failures too. Bobby and Chris do a high-board act, which they obviously didn't practice. Hannie and Linny attempt to have Noodle the Poodle do tricks - that falls apart too because Noodle won't listen to any of their commands. Linny tries explaining it away with “A real circus dog...um, takes a long, long time to train, I guess.” Was he not paying attention to what Kristy and Mary Anne just said? Well, he's made to look like a fool in front of everyone and all the Circus Snobs have been put into their places. Somewhat.

The BSC realize they have their work cut out for them between now and tomorrow, so Kristy calls an ~EMERGENCYMEETINGOFTHEBSC~ and they huddle together after telling the kids to sit down with their partners and be quiet. For the first time in, well, forever, Kristy asks the BSC “What are we going to do?” Since this is a BSC book, they all have ideas for how to save the circus. Mallory has an idea to fix the dog act, Mary Anne has an idea to change around Karen and Nancy's act and Logan says he'll fix up the high-board one. The show will go on!

Tsundere Teen Nanami x Chubby Reader

SFW and Smutty headcanons for a tsundere teen Nanami

A/N: heyyyyyyy these headcanons are inspired by this WONDERFUL ask! I made SFW and smutty headcanons for this and they are separated by a lil strawberry banner. I'm giving Nanami a specific age for this bc ik some ppl are uncomfortable with smut made about characters under 18, so i wanted to keep this ambiguous. If you want to headcanon him as his canon age (17), ok, but if you don't then you can headcanon him as 18/19! Yayyyy everybody wins sksksk also this isn't proof read so get ready for some mistakes sksksk

SFW section is gender neutral chubby reader, and the smutty section is fem chubby reader.

I made color coded quotes bc i'm extra so here's the key:

You, Nanami, Haibara, Gojo, Geto, Shoko

SFW Headcanons

OKAY SO

I imagine you're a jujutsu sorcerer student in the same year as Nanami

Yall obviously met during your first year and-

Holy shit did Nanami fall for you hard

Like the moment he saw you in your modest school uniform he felt his heart leap into his throat and he couldn't speak he could only grunt and nod and when he shook your hand he felt like he was dreaming bc jesus christ your hand is so fucking soft and tiny compared to his and he doesnt know wtf to do so he just gives a quick handshake and walks away

You're like ????? but whatever

He's shaking just from touching your hand and you're just confused but then you meet Haibara and hit it off :)

Nanami obvs doesn't realize he likes you so he really struggles dealing with these emotions for a while

Why do i get hot when i look at them? Why is my heart beating so fast? Why do i get so nervous around them?? Am I dying???

Just a big dumb baby who hides his fear with a cold exterior

Tbh you're his first real crush: yea, he's had some feelings for ppl here and there but with you it's more intense and he can't just shake it off like he could with others

So ya boi is strugglin quite a bit sksksk

Has no fucking clue how to approach you

Ends up being super cold and mean bc you and Haibara get along so well and are just so optimistic and happy go lucky all the time and he can't take it

Either scolds you or ignores you entirely bc being around you too long makes him queasy and he doesn't know how to deal with it

Pretty much comes off as an asshole

"We should go get boba after this."

"Yeah! We should get crepes too!"

"Stop playing around. This is a serious mission."

UGH fine whatever Nanami

You and Haibara are just two peas in a pod and Nanami feels like a third wheel when it's the three of you

He's fine with Haibara, but you?

You're just so... so...

UGH

You're so bubbly and chirpy and your chubby cheeks puff out when you get angry and plump up when you smile and when he gets close to you he can smell your sweet shampoo and sometimes when you run up to Haibara he can see your body jiggle with each step and your uniform does nothing to hide the curves and rolls of your body and he has no clue how to process any of this

Nanami is so confused and confides in Haibara with his feelings

"Oh! So you like Y/N?"

"W-What?! No I don't! That's ridiculous, why would you say that?!"

"Well whenever you look at Y/N you've got this dreamy look on your face and you seem really nervous around them and-"

"Th-That's not true! I'm not nervous around Y/N."

"Then why don't you try talking to them and-"

"UGH, nevermind, I'm going to bed."

He'll stomp off to bed all grumpy bc why the hell would his friend say that? What does he know? Haibara doesn't know how he feels so he's just making assumptions that aren't true

But then Nanami can't fall asleep and he's tossing and turning all night and he's so angry why tf can't he just fall asleep

And suddenly he's thinking about you and your sweet smile and your cute chubby cheeks and how they would probably be so soft in his hands and he can't help but wonder if your lips are just as soft-

Oh. Shit. Shitshitshitshitshit.

No, that can't be right, he can't actually have feelings for you, that would be weird

...right?

This realization is terrifying to Nanami like he has a mini panic attack when he realizes he likes you

Ends accepting his feelings but what the fuck is he supposed to do now?

He's not as cold with you after that, but he's still standoffish and doesn't speak to you unless it's necessary

But he has been sneaking glances at you more often

It starts off small, looking over at you during class, watching you lean your face into your hands as you listen to the teacher

Seeing your cute cheeks pushed up and your lips jutted out makes him all hot and he has to look away a second later bc he just can't take it

During missions, he'll watch how your hands move with your weapon, your body curving to avoid curses and suddenly he's getting hit by said curses bc he was too distracted looking at you

He's becoming a mess and he hates it, he hates it, why can't he just be calm around you like with Haibara or his senpais, this is so fucking humiliating

During this whole time, you've been kinda weirded out by Nanami's behavior

Like you catch him looking at you before he quickly looks away and he doesn't really scold you like he used to and he's distant and it's weird

The only conclusion you can come to is that he's disgusted by your body which??? if he is then fuck him bc there is nothing wrong with you and if Nanami has a problem then he can deal with it on his own

Since he and Haibara are best friends and spend most of their time together, you're kind of left out bc you refuse to be around Nanami if he's gonna act like a dick and treat you this way

So what do you do? You go hang out with your senpais!

Gojo, Geto, and Shoko accept you with open arms because??? Jesus christ you are so fucking cute and sweet, you're like their big marshmallow and they adore you

You spend more and more time with them and start drifting away from Nanami and Haibara

Obviously you're still besties with Haibara! You just don't hang out when Nanami is around which is most of the time so you're with the upperclassman like all the time

And this pisses Nanami off

He tells himself that it doesn't bother him bc whatever, you're your own person and you can make your own choices

But he can't ignore the burning in his throat when you run to welcome back Gojo and Geto, giving them hugs and smiling brightly up at the two

He starts paying closer attention, trying to figure out what's so fucking great about the upperclassmen

Seriously, what do they do that's so great? Gojo was a flirt and Geto wasn't that impressive, so why did you get so excited whenever they showed up?

And they're so handsy with you too, like they own you, and it makes Nanami so mad

Gojo won't hesitate to slip his arms around your waist and hug you from behind. Geto often lays his head on your lap and lets you play with his hair while he closes his eyes and has this calm smile on his face. Hell, even Soko can be found squishing your cheeks and cooing about how soft and plump they are

He's never felt this way about anyone before

He wants nothing more then to push his upperclassmen aside and take you in his arms and hold you the way they do

He'd do anything to have you smile at him the way that you smile at those three and Haibara

He's a mess, always fuming when Gojo pops into the common room where you are and invites you to lunch or just drags you off somewhere else

He hates Gojo the most bc he spends the most time with you

Gojo is just so casual about hugging you and holding your hand and pinching your cheeks and squishy your upper arms and it just makes Nanami so MAD

One day he overhears your conversation

"What do you mean you've never been picked up??"

"I just haven't! I'm too big."

"What? That's bullshit, c'mere."

"Sato, wait-"

And suddenly Gojo is wrapping his arms around you and hoisting you over his shoulder, twirling you around in a circle

You're squealing and laughing as he holds onto your legs, twirling round and round as Nanami slows and watches the two of you having a ball

He's so furious with Gojo, but his stomach is fluttering when he sees how excited you are and when he sees your thighs squished against Gojo's arms-

He makes eye contact with Gojo, blushes and then runs off like he wasn't just watching his senpai practically flirt with you

He sees red when Gojo blows a raspberry on your cheek one day, practically kissing you as he blew against your skin and made you giggle so sweetly that Nanami could've died and gone to heaven

He's never wanted to punch somebody more in his entire life

He becomes even angrier when Gojo confronts him about it

"Hey Nanamin! How's it going?"

He won't respond, too angry to speak

"Ahh, are you mad about somethin? Is it because Y/N won't hang out with you?"

His blush makes Gojo laugh, and Nanami just gets angrier

"I have to go-"

"Waitwaitwait, hold on, I didn't come here to piss ya off!" His arm drapes over Nanami's shoulder and he leans in close. "The year 2 students are going on a trip to the beach tomorrow, and we were gonna invite the year 1 students too!"

"I'm not interested-"

"Haibara and Y/N already said they would go," Nanami freezes, body going stiff, "and Y/N's swimsuit is pretty cute..."

There's a long pause between the two.

"...fine."

"Alright! We leave at 8am!"

The beach is beautiful and Nanami is happy to be there, but he can't enjoy himself, not when you're splashing around in the water in the most adorable bathing suit he's ever seen

But, of course, you're splashing around with Gojo and laughing and playing in the water without a care in the world and he is seething under his beach umbrella

He wishes he had the guts to go out and play around with you, but you're showing so much skin and he can barely look at you let alone get close enough to you to splash you with water

Geto sees him sulking and goes to check on him

"Something wrong, Nanami?"

Nanami shrugs, stealing a glance at you, flushing at your bright smile before burying his face into his knees

Geto is a smart boy and catches on quick

"Ah... you've got a crush on them, right?"

"No, I don't."

C'mon Nanami we know you like Y/N just admit it and ask them out

"I see..." He sits down next to Nanami. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"C'mon, Nanami. It's kinda obvious that you like them."

"Please stop talking-"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Y/N is a nice person. Of all the people to fall for, they're the best."

Nanami glares at Geto from the corner of his eye, and his senpai notices it and smiles.

"You can hide your true feelings behind dirty looks as long as you want, Nanami-kun, but it'll never make you happy."

Geto leaves after that, and Nanami has a lot of thinking to do

He stays under his beach umbrella all day reading a book, stealing glances of you and blushing before going back to reading

It's a v frustrating day and it doesn't get better when Gojo suggests going out for ice cream

He drags everyone along to a local ice cream shop

You get a vanilla cone and lo and behold just a few minutes later it drips down onto your chest and you wipe it off casually and lick it off your fingers and Nanami turns so red that ppl get concerned

"Nanami-kun, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Did you get a sunburn?"

"N-no, it's nothing, I'm fine, just a little hot."

Gojo knows exactly whats up and decides to push Nanami's buttons more

"You're so messy, Y/N! You gotta be more careful~"

AND THEN GOJO WIPES UP A LITTLE BIT OF ICE CREAM LEFT ON YOUR CHEST AND LICKS IT OFF HIS FINGERS AND NANAMI WANTS TO FUCKING SCREAM

Nanami goes back to his room at the end of the day completely devastated, just so frustrated and upset and angry and distraught

He literally screams into his pillows and kicks at his bed like a fucking toddler

He just! Doesn't know how to handle his emotions! He's literally never felt this way before and it makes him so angry and he's so lost

What he does know is that he needs to grow some balls and tell you how he feels already because he can't stand seeing Gojo flirt with you 24/7

You're too soft and sweet for someone like Gojo, and Nanami just wants to hold you and protect you and-

Yeah, he needs to confess to you. If he doesn't, he's gonna give himself an aneurysm

SMUTTY

Nanami's feels guilty admitting this, but his thoughts for you have never been completely pure

He's always found you attractive, but obviously he didn't understand these feelings at first

He thought the boiling feeling in his gut when he heard you laughing with Haibara was anger, but he later realized that it was arousal

AND THAT WAS A WHOLE NOTHER CAN O' WORMS TO DEAL WITH

He tried to ignore his sexual feelings towards you at first bc it didn't feel appropriate but let's be honest he just didn't know how to handle these feelings towards you

The night he realizes that he likes you, he's finally able to acknowledge his sexual attraction towards you, and suddenly something in him snaps

He starts thinking about your body and how your uniform squishes into you

Your breasts and belly strain against your shirt, your hips and ass pressed firmly against the top of your skirt, your legs barely contained by the black tights that you wore

His face burns when he feels his cock start to throb, growing and aching in his pajamas

He's never had a problem with being sexually aroused before--in the past, if he was ever horny, it was usually just biological and wasn't caused by anything in particular

But now there was you

You with your pretty eyes and gorgeous hair and plump lips that look so soft and delicious and he can't help but imagine grabbing you, pulling your plush body to his and kissing you hard-

Shit.

He's not going to be able to sleep until he takes care of this, so he pushes down his pants and underwear, hissing as he grabs his cock

He tries to just focus on the feeling, to ignore the reason he has a hard on in the first place, but he can't stop his thoughts from drifting off towards you

He hates himself for it, but he starts thinking about your body in detail, imagining what you would look like naked

He imagines that your breasts have stretch marks littered all over them, spreading over your tummy and thighs

He wishes he could trace them, count how many there are, maybe he lick over them as he stares up at your pretty face

God, your face

You really were the prettiest person he had ever seen, and he wanted nothing more than for you to smile in his direction, your eyes sparkling as you skipped towards him for a hug when he gets back from a mission

He groans, moving his hand faster as he thinks about you undressing in front of him, shimmying out of your uniform and letting him see you clearly

He thinks about squeezing the pudgy bits of your body, kissing and biting them as he brings you closer to him

He's sure that you're a virgin, you're too pure not to be, and the thought of being the first to touch you makes him shudder

I imagine he's still a virgin at this point: he's just never gotten around to having sex because he's too busy

But he's suddenly grateful that he is a virgin because then he can imagine the two of you sharing your first time together, fumbling in the dark under your covers

He turns over in bed, moving onto his stomach so he can grind his cock into his bed, groaning into his pillow

It isn't enough, so Nanami pushes his pillow down to his hips and starts thrusting into it, eyes squeezing shut as he imagines that it's you under him instead, your body warm and soft beneath him

He's moaning softly and grunting as he pushes his head into the bed, wishing that he could be in your cunt instead, hearing you whimper and moan for him

The thought of your fucked out face--hooded eyes crossed slightly and filled with tears, mouth open wide as you cried out for him, his name spilling from your perfect lips--pushes him over the edge, cum spurting out over his sheets

He keeps grinding his hips into the pillow, whining softly as he mutters your name over and over, eventually falling to the bed and panting

He catches his breath and comes down from his high, groaning and immediately regretting getting off like that

His pillowcase, sheets, and pajamas are covered in cum and he's so aggravated and annoyed with himself

He takes everything off and goes back to bed, slightly uncomfortable with his different sleeping situation

He's even more nervous around you after that

He knows it's not possible, but he's sure that you know he jerked off to the thought of you and he is drowning in shame

Does he stop jerking off and thinking about you the entire time?

No, but he doesn't feel good about it sksksk

He starts masturbating more consistently, at least a couple times a week

He doesn't really want to, but every time he sees you he gets flushed and starts thinking dirty thoughts and he ultimately has to take care of his frustrations late at night

He'll either lie on his back and fuck up into his fist, imagining your pretty body bouncing on his cock, or he'll rut into a spare pillow he found, thinking about thrusting into your sweet cunt over and over as you cry beneath him

Seeing Gojo flirt with you just pisses him off and makes him more aggressive when he masturbates

He imagines fucking you harder, biting and sucking marks onto your skin so that Gojo would realize that you're taken and he had no right to touch you

He knows that you don't belong to him, but he can't help but feel possessive when he sees the upperclassmen touch you so casually

He hates when Gojo invites you all to the beach bc he knows that Gojo has something planned bc he always does

So when he sees you in that revealing two piece suit, splashing around in the water, your body bouncing every time the waves his you, he feels like he's been blessed

Part of the reason why he stayed seated the whole day was because he had a raging hard on for most of the time

The last thing he wanted was for you to see him like that and think he was a pervert

And then when you went for ice cream and some of it spilled onto your breasts?

He was sure he would cum just from the sight

His arousal faded when Gojo scooped up the last of the ice cream from your chest and licked it off his fingers

He was enraged, his instincts screaming at him to beat the shit out of his upperclassman for putting his hands on you like that

Nanami was glad that you thought it was an innocent action, but he knew what Gojo was doing and it pissed him off

He was pouty the whole way home, going to his room immediately while the others went to the common room

He slammed the door behind him, kicking the foot of his bed before flopping down onto it, groaning angrily into his pillow

His anger soon turned into arousal once he thought back on you in your skimpy bathing suit and the white cream that had fallen on your chest

Damn it

He's hard and so of course he starts jerking off to relieve some stress

He imagines you in front of him, on your knees, adorable doe eyes looking up at him innocently

He'd cup your soft cheeks, guiding you towards his cock

You may be innocent and naive, but you would understand what he wanted, parting your pretty plump lips and wrapping them around the head of his cock

He was groaning a bit louder, knowing that the rest of the students were hanging out in the common rooms. No one would be back here for hours, so he could relax a bit

Your mouth would be so hot around him, drool spilling past your lips as you bobbed your head up and down on his cock

You'd be so good for him, so sweet, so perfect, so wonderful-

The thought of cumming on your breasts sends him over the edge, your name spilling from his lips a bit louder than he intended

He'd slump to his bed, beyond frustrated that he couldn't just confess to you already, hating that he was such a wimp and couldn't-

A soft knock at his door made him jolt, sitting upright in bed

"Wh-Who is it?"

"Uh... it's me, Y/N..."

Nanami would freeze, unsure of what to do

He'd get up a moment later, cautiously walking to his door and opening it

Shit, you were still in your swimsuit, a see through shawl wrapped around you

"What is it?"

"Um, Sato said that you needed to see me... so i came by to see what you wanted."

God damn you, Gojo

"I don't need anything. He was mistaken."

You nodded slightly, fiddling with your fingers as you looked around.

"I... um, I-I heard you say my name..."

Shit

"I-I didn't-"

"Were you thinking about me while you jerked off?"

Nanami flushed, gripping the door handle tightly

"How did..."

"You've got cum on your chest."

He looks down at his chest, blushing when he sees that yes, there was a bit of cum that was strewn across his abdomen

"I-I'm sorry, I-"

"I didn't think you liked me..."

Nanami's eyes flick towards you and his cock comes to life again

Your arms are squished together, making your breasts press against each other, and you thighs are rubbing up on one another

He isn't sure if he'll ever get another opportunity like this again

"Can... can I show you how much I like you?"

He swallows hard when you bite your lip, looking up at him

"...Sure."

Hi! I am Lora. I live in Belgium. I speak Flemish, which is just Dutch with extra funny words. I'll get into what I'm about and what I post on here. But let me start with a quick summary so you immediately know you're at the right adress or not:

Mental health, mental ilness, D&D, art, biology, bugs, Belgian/european news/politics, queer shit, my cats, my aquarium, school,...

Now, let's get into the details!

What's my identity? I'm very loosy goosy with this. all pronouns are fine, I don't use any gender label, although I've jokingly refered to myself as 'gender disinterested'. I just don't wanna play! Sexuality is ehhh, people. I use bisexual in my daily life bc that is easier. I'm also not monogamous.

What's up with my brain? I'm diagnosed autistic, currently checking for ADHD. I have spend a lot of time in mental hospitals, dealing with depression, generalised and social anxiety, panic attacks, all the classics really. I spend 12 months on a ward that specialises in emotional regulation disorders, where I received dialectical behaviour therapy. I'm only back in 'the real world' for a few months now, so this comes up often. I'm working towards becoming a certified life experience avocate, a sort of middle man between patients and mental health/disabiliy workers. That's why I'm very open about this, but I always want to mention that you don't have to, and that it can make you a target to people who don't mean well.

What do I study? I have a degree in Graphic design, but based on my elective it would be better to say that I have a degree in illustration. I also went to art school in high school so I have a basis in a lot of things, like film, theatre, webdesign and so on. My comics are on instagram (english, Dutch) and in 'my comics' tag I also did 1 year of a biology bachelor and 1 year of social work, because I was a bit lost over the years. Right now I'm about to start a degree in applied psychology.

let's put the rest under a cut!

D&D I've been following Critical role for a long time, just getting into Dimension 20. I tag cr spoilers for anything relatively new, about 3 weeks or so. I usually tag with 'critical role' or 'Dimension 20' and then the name of the campagn so you can block these tags to avoid spoilers for specific campagns. I play myself but I don't have a group currently since I moved and pandemics and hospitals happened. I play a human druid, circle of the moon, who is bug themed. You all have official permission to talk about your PC's to me at all times!

Pets I have two cats, Marcel and Oskar, who are very sweet and very dumb. There's also a couple of strays that live on my roof, mother and daughter who I call Michelle and Kotelet. They continiously broke into my appartment to steal food so I started to socialise them. It's been going pretty well. I have a big planted community aquarium. It's a self cleaning eco system with a side sump. I have Giant danios and golden danios, amano shrimp, a mix of neo caradina shrimp, corydora's, apple snails, malasian trumpet snails and sulawesi snails. I had a giant african landsnail called Gertude, but she passed away very recently. I also have a box of powder orange isopods who used to be in the big terrarium with Gertrude. And a pot of springtails. I'm trying to turn the old terrarium into a paludarium (riparium to be exact) but I'm waiting on the next hyperfocus wave to finish this. All the stuff is currently in boxes in my livingroom, sighhh. Other hobbies man I widly swing from one to the next. Right now I'm doing crepe paper flowers. I do origami and paper crafts. I embroider. I read. I keep up my house plants and a bunch of stuff on my balcony. I cook. I sketch. I like fashion, make up and skin care. I love to research random shit. I've acted in a few things. I have a guitair I can't play. I bookbind.

Dutch - Belgium I sometimes post in Dutch. I will add the relevant translations in the tags. It's mainly regional jokes with other Belgians and Dutch people, so I can't always properly explain. I also blog a bit about local news. Belgian stuff gets tagged as Belgiumposting and everything relating to Europe or the other countries in it gets tagged as Europosting.

12 for the ask meme please?💖

Oh no! i just realized I was looking at the wrong list! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈 This is what happens when I fandom & grocery at the same time. 😵‍💫 So this'll be a double answer? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😅

Answer #1: "What's their lock screen?" (headcanons list)

How have I never thought about this? Ok, let me make up some bullshit right now. 😆

OooOoo, I know!

For the first month or so of living in their West Side apartment, Mickey & Ian rotate through a host of dirty lock screen images. Not your standard dick pics, either. They go whole hog nasty with these pictures 'cause they've never had this much privacy before and like hell are they gonna let it go to waste.

That is until the day Franny comes for her first sleepover and innocently asks why they went for ice cream without her.

Baffled, Mickey asks for an explanation.

Franny holds his phone up to his face, the picture of Ian with *ahem* DNA dribbling down his chin stares back at him.

"Uncle Ian is a messy eater," Franny giggles, never realizing how close to the truth she is.

After that, their lock screens are stupid cute things. Mickey & Ian roller skating. Or sharing a milkshake. Or holding hands at a backyard bbq. They keep all their freaky-deaky snaps in a password protected folder, like 🤢🤮 grownups.

***

Answer #2 ��️ Rainy autumn day & neither want to get up (October ask memes)

A week before Halloween and already the world looks like it's well into fall. Pumpkin spice bullshit is everywhere, even in their refrigerator. Which, to everybody's surprise, Mickey is fully on board with and Ian completely rejects with all his heart and soul.

"Since when are you the curmudgeon in this equation?" Mickey yawns as he lazily stretches out on thier California king bed full of rumpled sheets and husband scent.

"Since it's Saturday and I don't wanna leave this bed," he hooks a leg around Mickey's waist. "And you're dumb if you think you're going anywhere, either."

"Wasn't fuckin' planning on it. One problem, though. I need food, coffee, and smokes."

Ian unhooks himself from Mickey long enough to place a doordash order for crepes and coffee. He tosses the phone on the floor.

"There, all set," he says excessively satisfied with himself.

"Still need a smoke."

"You got that Nicorette shit in your nightstand."

Mickey quirks an eyebrow, feigns nonchalance. "Oh yeah sure, that addresses the nicotine. But how 'bout my oral fixation?"

Ian grabs his husband, bodily maneuvers him around and giving him silent c'mere eyes until Mickey's lying on top of him.

"Think we can do a lil' something 'bout your oral fixation before doordash gets here," Ian croons. "And maybe a little more after, too."

Hey i saw that you said that chifuyu is also another character that’s mischaracterized in fanfics. If you don’t mind, can you share ways that he is mischaracterized?

Hi! Thanks for the ask. I didn’t reply straight away because I wanted to construct a proper answer for you (which turned into an essay - I am gomen), also because Chifuyu is one of my favourite TR characters. I often feel (and I have some friends who feel the same way) that Chifuyu is mischaracterised not just in fanfictions but by the fandom in general.

Please note: I am in no way pointing fingers at anyone or insulting anyone’s interpretation of him or anything like that. This is simply my own (and along with a few friends who I’ve asked for some input) observation, thoughts and feelings.

The best word that I have seen used to describe Chifuyu is that he’s “multifaceted”. Meaning he is a complex character who is both soft and tough at the same time (just to put it simply). However, by the fandom in general, his soft side is what gets the most focus, and the rest is just simply forgotten and or ignored.

So, to start things off, let’s look at the soft side of Chifuyu. There seems to be an assumption that Chifuyu is the big fluffy soft baby boy who loves absolutely everyone and can do no wrong. Which, to some degree, is kind of correct because he is a sweetheart. BUT, he’s only like that to those who he’s close to. I believe that his more vulnerable side appears when he’s with his friends. When he is with his friends, he can drop his guard a bit and be more himself, and that is a big indication of trust. We get a glimpse of this in the flashback of his first year of middle school before he met Baji. There he was, a little edgelord wanting to make his mark, and he kept up that act until Baji came to save his ass. After being saved by Baji and hearing what Toman (very briefly) is about, he dropped his guard, finding a new friend within Baji.

This whole thing between Chifuyu and Baji is something I will address shortly. Because I want to address a fact, which I think is more often forgotten and or ignored, looked over in favour of his soft sweet self. The fact I’m talking about is: Chifuyu’s edge-lord nature.

Chifuyu’s edge-lord nature is a constant throughout the series. He’s more than often the first to rush into a fight with or for Takemichi (previously Baji, with the Meobius battle) and he’s known to start his own shit too. For example, it was Chifuyu who smashed a glass in the restaurant during the Black Dragons arc, pointing it at Kisaki’s neck and almost causing a shitstorm for himself and Takemichi. We also see him holding his guard up and acting like the edge-lord he is after the ambush from Tenjiku. Where he’s acting all tough about fighting and losing to Mochi, and Smiley simply tells him to drop that act because fighting Mochi is no walk in the park. This isn’t to say that Chifuyu doesn’t trust Smiley and Angry; it would be more about his sense of pride, which is now a little bruised.

But of course, as I said before, Chifuyu is multifaceted. Sure, there is this edge-lord side to him, who has no issue causing trouble… It really shouldn’t be a surprise when his best friend was Baji. On the other hand, there is that softer side, which his friends only see, and when he’s with Takemichi, they become dumb and dumber (affectionately), which is probably a good indication of what he would’ve been like with Baji normal day. If not, Chifuyu is more sassy and daring when it comes to Takemichi, like Chifuyu eating Takemichi’s Mille Crepe cake which was labelled “mine” and not caring. Somehow, I don’t see him daring to do that with Baji …

Now onto his friendship with Baji, as promised earlier. It does appear that the fandom has an assumption that Chifuyu constantly has Baji on the mind; he is willing to get his face smashed in by Baji, he is more than keen to save Baji. After the tragic ending of the Valhalla arc, Baji is brought up several times. So, it appears that the fandom thinks that he has this obsession over Baji, basically simping him and taking the title of the chapter a little too literally. I honestly believe that the friendship between Baji and Chifuyu is pure in terms of admiration, respect, trust and brotherhood, not an obsession.

I also honestly believe that Baji was Chifuyu’s first proper friend. In the chapter Man-Crush, we see Chifuyu being the edge-lord that he is, and when Baji comes to save his ass and declares, “he’s my friend, fuck him up, and we will fuck you up”. We instantly see that edge-lord wall come crashing down, and Chifuyu’s endearment towards Baji starts to bloom.

This idea of Baji being Chifuyu’s first true friend plays a role in his desperation of wanting to save Baji from his fate in the Valhalla arc and the influence Baji continues to have in Chifuyu’s life afterwards. Also, on top of this, Chifuyu is only 13-4 during the duration of the manga, and his (first and) best friend died within his arms. That is heavy shit, and tragic too. So, of course, Chifuyu will cry the way he did when Baji passed on and at his grave two weeks later. I also believe that Chifuyu blamed himself for Baji’s death, stating that he knew what Baji was going through but couldn’t stop him or save him.

With that, we certainly know that Baji’s death had a significant impact on Chifuyu’s life. It came to the point that he shot down the promotion to leader of the first division and considered leaving Toman altogether. It was Mikey, who ended up convincing him to stay, and it was also Mikey who discussed with him who should take Baji’s position. To me, this demonstrates a solid friendship between Mikey and Chifuyu, and it has been demonstrated a number of times throughout the series that Chifuyu has been trusted, and Mikey and the admin of Toman have valued his input. Alongside Mikey, it is evident that Chifuyu is well-liked throughout the ranks of Toman, notably amongst the admin. Also the fact that Wakui has drawn at least one sketch that features Chifuyu and Mikey alone, speaks volumes.

Now, finally moving on, another misconception I think the fandom has of Chifuyu is that he’s romantic. Which, in my opinion, he isn’t. Not in the slightest. Because to be honest, reading Shojo manga doesn't equate to someone being romantic. It’s really just the equivalent to girls reading shounen jump, some girls like action and hero stuff. Some boys have tastes for the softer side of manga genres, and it’s really no big deal. All I can say is that Chifuyu has good taste; his favourite mangaka is Yazawa Ai, who is the genius behind NANA and Paradise Kiss.

The last thing I want to point out is that even though it’s fun to label him dumb and dumber with Takemichi (which, to a fun extent, they are), it doesn’t mean that he is actually dumb.

I honestly believe that Chifuyu is academically sound, and considering it was his dream to become a pilot, he definitely has some intelligence. When Chifuyu first met Baji, he immediately noticed an incorrect kanji written by the other. After Baji told him what it was, Chifuyu didn’t hesitate in showing him how to write it. This struck me as I know what kids (I live and work in Japan) around that age can be like and know their handwriting. Even though it’s a manga, Chifuyu has particularly neat handwriting for a 12-3 year old delinquent, and he knows a kanji character that officially hasn’t been taught to his year level yet. Japanese children are taught a set of kanji at each year level, and after some digging, the kanji for tora 虎 is taught at the end of middle school. Yet there was Chifuyu at the start of middle school, able to write out the kanji neatly.

Okay, there are over 1300 words to this reply, and I hope this … somehow answers your question. I hope so, considering it turned more into an analysis. Chifuyu is one of my favourite characters in TR, and so I can get rather passionate about them. Maybe I should reconstruct my analysis on Angry if and when we get more information about him. Thank you~

Seiyuu: Takashi Kondou & Morikubo Shoutaro

Translator’s note: I had an extra open slot in my translation schedule so I asked my friends on one of my DL servers for tokuten recommendations and they did not disappoint! This CD was so cute, I enjoyed every second of it. Subaru’s soft spot for animals is honestly one of the things I adore about him and I wouldn’t even consider myself an animal person at all. :p It’s just the idea of this tough guy absolutely melting for any cute/small animal which makes the fangirl in me rejoice.

Subaru walks up to you.

Subaru: Yo. Whatcha doin’ wanderin’ ‘round by yourself? You’re lookin’ for nice souvenirs to bring home with you or somethin’?

You nod.

Subaru: Right. Then go ahead and look ‘round while you can. It’s uncommon for the main street to be this deserted after all

You ask what he is doing.

Subaru: I’m, wellーー ...I let my emotions get the best of me and wrecked one of the crepe stall’s benches, so now I gotta help out with the security to compensate for it.

Subaru turns his head.

Subaru: ーー Soon after I found out I’m not the only one though.

Shin walks up to him.

Shin: Oh, it’s you? What are you doing here?

Subaru: Hehe...Apparently this guy got stuck with the job ‘cause he broke some shop’s parasol. 

Shin: Exactly. I couldn’t picture myself taking any orders from a measly Vampire, but the shop owner had quite the skilled tongue and somehow talked me into it. ーー But I’m quitting this job right now. So, how about I join you on your little shopping trip, huh? Come on, let’s go.

Subaru: Haah...!? Don’t tell me you’re ditchin’ your duty and leavin’ me to do it all!? 

Shin: Watch your words. If I leave the patrolling up to my Familiars, it doesn’t matter whether I’m actually around or not, does it?

Subaru: Your Familiars? You mean those wolves? 

Shin: Exactly. Our Familiars are very competent, you see. I’ve got them keeping a close eye on things so no fights break out. 

*HOOOOOWL*

Subaru: Don’t tell me...Is that why this place is nearly deserted? 

Shin: Hahaha! You finally realized? Having to play security guard is such a drag, so when there’s barely anyone around, it makes the job a lot easier.

Subaru: Well...You do have a point. 

Shin: Well, well, well...~? Subaru...Were you about to say something sweet and heartwarming? (1) ‘It’s a shame people don’t get to enjoy the Parade to the fullest’, for example~? 

Subaru: ...!! ‘Course not! ...Che, fuck off...

Shin: Hehehe...~ Then good boys like yourself should obey the orders given to them and stand around here. ーー Meanwhile, you come here.

Shin pulls you closer.

*Rustle*

Shin: Let’s go.

Subaru: ...Wait!? ーー Hold it!!

*TIMESKIP*

*HOOOOOWL*

Shin: So...I heard you’re looking for a rare souvenir from the Demon World to take home with you? Do you have anything specific in mind? You won’t give me a dumb answer like ‘I haven’t put that much thought into it yet’, right? Do you want something you can display? Or food? You must have somewhat of a basic idea, right?

Subaru: ...Actually, you don’t even get the luxury of choosin’...All of the shops are closed.

Shin: You’re right. I wonder why.

You point out that it’s mostly likely because of the wolves. 

Shin: Haah...!? It’s because of the wolves? Are you talking shit about my Familiars?

*HOOOOOWL*

Subaru: No that’s obviously the problem. I can only imagine they’re fearin’ an attack when those wolves are just sittin’ there keepin’ an eye out.

Shin: Haah!? The fuck!? I have no idea what you’re saying!

Subaru: Haah...Whatever, just do somethin’ ‘bout it. Otherwise she won’t be able to buy anythin’, right? 

Shin: Don’t want to.

Subaru: Haah!? Then what are we gonna do!?

Shin: Rather than the Familiars, we should just convince the shop owners instead. ーー With brute force, if necessary. 

You protest.

Shin: ...Ah? Since the nerve to tell me off, I can only assume you have an alternative in mind? Of course, telling me to patrol instead isn’t an option.

You make a suggestion. 

Shin: Haah? Familiars which aren’t scary? Well...I guess I do have some. 

Subaru: Hah? Then why not just use those instead!?

Shin: Anyway, why do I have to go the extra mile here? 

Subaru: For her sake, duh!

Shin: Uwah! He actually went there! Cringe! (2)

Subaru: Shut up!!

Shin: Heh...But I feel that if we leave Subaru in charge of helping you pick out a souvenir, it won’t end well, so fine.

*Rustle*

Shin: ...Ah, but you have to pick whatever I telll you to without any protests, okay? Well thenーー

*Whistle*

*HOOOOOWL*

Subaru: Wah...!? Instead of the large wolves...You’re goin’ to use...cubs?

Shin: Exactly. ーー Listen up, lil’ ones! Get into position and keep a close watch on things! You may be small, but if you see someone commit a crime, you can go ahead and bite off their arm or leg, okay?

The cubs whine.

Shin: There, there, good boys...Okay, now off you go!

The small wolves run towards their post.

Subaru: You...Why didn’t you just bring those in the first place!? 

Shin: Heehー I don’t like having to use them. After allーー

The crowd starts to fawn over the cubs.

Shin: Haah...Just like that, it’ll cause a big fuss. It’s just asking for things to get noisy.

You note how the cubs are very cute. 

Shin: Hehe. I know just how cute they are better than anyone else. ...Although, you might be in for a painful surprise if you underestimate them based solely on appearance, so be warned, okay?

Subaru: S-Sure...Rather than underestimate them, if anything...

You tilt your head to the side.

Subaru: ...!! I-It’s nothin’...!  ...Oh, the shops opened their doors. Let’s go. 

You walk towards the shops.

*TIMESKIP*

Shin: Hmー Oh, there it is! Here, take a look at this decorative figure. Can you tell what it is?

You answer.

Shin: Absolutely correct! It’s a nutcracker! You can put a whole nut in its mouth, then push down real good andーー 

*Crack*

Shin: There you go! I’ve looked at a few, but this one seems the most sturdy out of all the ones sold at this store, so I’m sure it’ll last a while. 

Subaru: Haah!? She doesn’t need this shit, does she!?

Shin: Of course she does! Every household needs at least one of these. I’m sure it’ll be put to great use to serve me. 

Subaru: Then she definitely doesn’t need it. I’m sure there’s much better options. For example...

One of the wolves comes to report to Shin.

Shin: Hm? What’s wrong?

Subaru: What is he sayin’? Don’t tell me, did something happen!?

Shin: Ah. It doesn’t seem to be anything too serious, but I’m gonna go take a look real quick.

Subaru: Wait! ...Uhm...I...I’m coming as well. 

Shin: Hmー Okay then, be my guest.

*SCENE SHIFT*

Shin: Sorry for the wait. ...Here, dig in. These nuts are one of the best. 

The wolves start eating. 

Subaru: Did they come and tell you...They were hungry?

Shin: Exactly. They’re still young after all, so they’re still a little spoilt, it can be quite the handful. 

You look at the cubs in awe.

Shin: ...Hah! You’ve got that dumb smile on your face again. Say, why don’t you try petting them? A lot of the little ones like to be petted, so I’ll give you special permission. 

*Rustle rustle*

Shin: Heh. Look at that happy look on your face. Petting their back is fine, but when you do this...

*Rustle*

Shin: ...And rub their belly, they’ll enjoy it even more. 

Subaru: Oh...

Shin: Hoho~? Subaru...Would you perhaps like to pet them as well?

Subaru: Whaー!? No fuckin’ way!!

Shin: I see. Then I won’t let you lay even a single finger on them. 

Subaru: ...W-Why would I even do that?

Shin: Hmm~~? Should I give you special permission to touch them as well?

Subaru: N...No thank you.

Shin: This might be a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know? I rarely ever summon the baby ones. 

Subaru: ...!! ...Aah, shut up! I’m goin’! See you!

Subaru walks away. 

Shin: Ahaha, oh dear.

You frown.

Shin: It’s fine! Just leave that guy be! Rather than delivering the final blow right now (3), I have something much more fun in mind. I’m sure we’ll be able to see something rather interesting if we secretly follow him. Hehehe~ 

The two of you trail behind Subaru.

*TIMESKIP*

Shin: Hmm~ He came here all by himself, guess he’s going after that one, huh?

Subaru: Oi, want some nuts?

One of the wolves approaches Subaru.

Subaru: Good boy. Come a lil’ closer. ...Exactly...Just like that...Until right underneath the palm of my hand...

He starts petting the wolf.

*Rustle rustle*

Subaru: ...!! I had no idea they were this soft...!!

Shin: What are you doing?

Subaru: Uwah...!!? W-When did you...!?

Shin: Ah-aah~ Look who lured out a wolf cub all the way to this back alley to coddle them. I’m shocked!

Subaru: N-No...! You’ve got it all wrong, I didn’tーー!

Shin: Then how do you explain those nuts in your hand?

Subaru: Ah...Uhm...I found these layin’ ‘round on the ground over there.

Shin: You say that, but they seem to be inside a brand-new bag? I’m fairly certain you prepared those especially to be able to ruffle this little guy.

Subaru: ...!!

The cub whines.

Shin: Ah, sorry, sorry. I’ll give you some in a sec so just hang on, okay?

Subaru: Che. ...Oi, you can give them these nuts in my place.

Shin: Oh~?  Don’t you want to pet them even more?

Subaru: ...Ugh! 

Shin: Guess I have no other choice. Now say ‘I want to cuddle (4) with them more’. 

Subaru: Haah...!?

Shin: Easy, no? Come on, this soft, fluffy and warm fur is waiting for you~ 

Subaru: ...Kuh! ...Uu...I-I...

Shin: ‘I’...?

Subaru: You littleー! ..I want to pet...These cute little cubs which keep on looking up at me with their puppy eyes...!! Kuh...!

Shin: Hahaha! I don’t understand why you look like you’re dying from just saying one simple sentence. But well, seeing that pathetic look on your face gave me plenty of enjoyment.

Subaru: ...!! You bastard...!!

Shin: Oh come on, save that for later. Now feed them the nuts. 

Subaru: Oh...Right...

*Rustle*

Subaru: S...So cute...

Shin: Right? Ours are the number one cutest in the whole Demon World. Come on. Now that his belly’s nice and full, he wants you to pet him.

Subaru: C-Can I...? In that case, I’ll take you up on that offer...

*Rustle rustle*

Subaru: ...T-This feels amazing!

Shin: Uwah...That happy look in his eyes is making me gag.

Subaru: Imagine sleeping while resting your head on something this soft. ...Right, if I could bring this guy into my coffin to snuggle...

Shin: Haah!?

Subaru: It’s settled! I’m borrowin’ this guy for one night! ーー See you!

Subaru runs off with the wolf cub.

*WOOSH*

Shin: Haah!? Hold it! ...Wait, I said! ...Hey! You help me out too! We have to catch Subaru!

Shin chases after Subaru, dragging you along as well.

ーー THE END ーー

Translation notes 

(1) Literally he says: ‘Were you about to make a ‘good boy statement?’

(2) When you call someone 恥ずかしいやつ or ‘hazukashii yatsu’, it implies that you are ashamed of their behavior/the things they say.

(3) More specifically, he says ‘to defeat him by/through teasing’. 

(4) While the term もふもふする or ‘mofu-mofu suru’ can be translate as ‘to pet’ as well, it usually refers to really going in with both hands and snuggling/cuddling up against the fur as well, fully enjoying its softness.

Free! The Final Stroke screeching/reaction (spoilers)

AHHHHH I JUST WATCHED THE FINAL STROKE MOVIE TODAY IN THEATERS ON PREMIER DAY AND IT WAS LAKSJDFOAIFJWOEI to summarize it all, it was Very Gay, which was to be expected but they DID NOT have to get so freaking extra with it 😩😩😩

much screaming and many spoilers ahead

FIRST OF ALL, KIRISHIMA NATSUYA: HE WAS SO FUCKING HANDSOME DAFKJOIEFJOSIDJF. SO HANDSOME. SO HANDSOME AND STUPID AND OVERLY FRIENDLY AS WE LOVE HIM TO BE ALKDSJFOAIEW.

he was in the film for a total of maybe 5 minutes altogether, which was kind of a lot bc the film kind of was just putting all the characters back in for the sake of putting them in imo? for the fans, lol. so everyone could see their faves. and in these five minutes that he appeared, our mans:

bragged about his little brother he's so proud of

got laughed at by nao for being natsuya (aka dumb and straightforward) as usual

trained with sousuke (he was hanging out in the same pool with him, nao, and makoto to train and aid in sousuke's rehab training)

got a call from ikuya after the international swimming competition in sydney!!!! in that same cafe he's always at!!!! and he was with nao at the time he got the call. casual and cool as always, being the cool big brother or whatever. he ended the call with a curt, "you got it. see you. don't catch a cold."

HE WAS HANGING OUT AT CAFE MARON WHILE THEY WAITED FOR THE SYDNEY COMPETITORS TO COME BACK TO JAPAN. HE WAS BEHIND THE COUNTER WITH ASAHI (WHO WAS HOLDING BABY TSUKIMI IN A CARRIER ON HIS CHEST!!!!!) AND HE THREW HIS ARM AROUND ASAHI AND WAS GETTING SO CLOSE LIKE ALKSDJFAOIEJAOEI. I have absolutely no clue what he was saying at the time bc i was too busy freaking out and trying to hold in the sounds bc the theater was so quiet. but his GODDAMN FACE. HE WAS SMIRKING. SO HANDSOME 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

and of fucking course, they were all out together at a restaurant when the sydney competitors came back, and he was like, "wth no one else is drinking alcohol tonight?" and nao was like "ofc not haha" AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

HE FUCKING FALLS ASLEEP AT THE TABLE AFTER DRINKING AND EVERYONE IS SURROUNDING HIM AND PATTING HIM LIKE "dude..." and ikuya is sitting there like, omg can't believe this mess is my brother....

i thought that just might be his last scene in the film but then we show back up to the kirishima household and natsuya is eating some sort of luxury holiday(?) bento and ikuya is like "aren't you gonna save any for me?" and natsuya's like "of course not. this is for me, you gotta wait until next year xD" and then ikuya just fucking SNATCHES up several different foods and stuffs his face with all of them and natsuya starts arguing with him over them laskjdfoawiefjao where was this brotherly affection all this time?????

and then cut to a few seconds later, natsuya's bumming in his room on the floor like in s3 when ikuya comes in and tells him about his new future goals and alskdjfaoei brothers sharing their ambitions together 😩😩 WHAT IS GOING ON. EVERYONE GETS ALONG SO WELL NOW???

NEXT: we'll go back to the beginning i guess lmfao but they're preparing for some sort of university festival

we start off with an easily misunderstandable shoujo-style situation where asahi is talking to ikuya like, "i know it's your first time... you don't have to be nervous. i know you can do it." and ikuya's like "no! i can't 😣" like the tsun he is backed up against the wall. and then it turns out they're trying to make a mille feuille cake.... but everything he's made so far looked like crepes

and for some damn reason, KISUMI comes outta nowhere into the kitchen and is like "ooooh what's this? a mille feuille cake? although they all look kinda like crepes haha ^^" and then ikuya RUNS THE FUCK OUT OF THE KITCHEN, yelling, "i told you i couldn't do it!!!" like the fucking tsun he is... and asahi is yelling at kisumi like "why did you just say that!!!" and starts rubbing his knuckles into kisumi's head and kisumi's just laughing like, "oh did i do that hehe"

and for some reason... seijuurou is working at the booth in his speedo and swim team jacket. i mean i'm not complaining but sir.... PLS TAKE MY MONEY AND GIVE ME YOUR FAT OCTOPUS BALLS. (he literally started a batter mixing competition with hoshikawa inside the booth, like what are they even doing in the same booth???)

then rin and sousuke show up to ikuya, asahi, and hiyori(?)'s booth, and they're offering them the crepes and then they get into a conversation about smth that leads into them showing the embarrassing photos they have of each other?????? like ikuya has a pic of rin in his maid costume for some reason??? (tho it isn't shown) and rin shows an embarrassing pic of ikuya he has in his phone that he got from natsuya???????????? and then ikuya starts chasing after rin yelling at him to delete it lasdkjfoaei

and then haru is off to the side selling ugly ass bird mascots again lmfao. bc ofc he is. love that weirdo

BUT THE REAL KICKER HERE IS KINJOU!!!!!!!!!!!

APPARENTLY, HIS VILLAIN BACKSTORY COMES FROM HIS CHILDHOOD CRUSH (/exaggerated) ON HIYORI ALSKDJFOAIE WHAAAT. apparently he was that annoying kid in the playground who would go up to hiyori and bother him bc he wanted a friend. bb hiyori was literally like "why are you even talking to me so much?" in his sandbox. and bb kinjou is like, "well there's gotta be smth you like, right? what is it?" and hiyori's like "well i feel kinda happy when i'm swimming... :)" as images of ikuya flash into his mind, that gay ass

BUT KINJOU'S GAY ASS EYES START SPARKLING TOO AND THEN HE'S LIKE "I GOTTA LEARN WHAT THE BIG DEAL ABOUT SWIMMING IS" and he runs home, begs his brother to take him to the pool. but next time he brings his swimming stuff with him to the playground, hiyori isn't there anymore and apparently he left for america at that time (or smth). so poor baby basically got ghosted

but hiyori still knows him when they're older!!!! kinjou shows up when they're throwing out the trash after the uni festival and calls out to hiyori to taught him (which is where that bullying preview scene came from i guess) and alkfjeoiaejoaifj omfg it's like that estranged childhood friends (sorta) trope but it'll never go kinjou's way bc hiyori is and will always be in love with ikuya 😔

kinjou would make such a good yandere tho!!!! he has a feral expression on a few times throughout the movie, and during a race he gets super competitive mid-race and... ngl he was kinda sexy 😳 i'm actually kind of surprised by how taken i was with him in this movie. doesn't help that he's unfairly handsome and his hair looks fucking amazing. i MAY OR MAY NOT be exploring this man in the future..................

i also found the ending with haru pretty interesting!!!! it kind of hints at neurodivergence? smth along the lines of disassociation or multiple personalities? (guess 50% off was kinda right on that end lmfao).

he gets obsessed with beating albert wahlander, which is the most fired up i've ever seen him (to the point of almost hurting himself) and then the shadow or whatever effect albert has on haru kind of just overtakes him and pushes haru out of his own body in a way... it doesn't make sense to describe it this way, i know, but haru is literally watching himself say hurtful things to his friends while being overtaken by this... albert obsessed persona?

it's so interesting to see haru being the one obsessing over someone instead of the other way around for once!!! at the end of the movie (after all the credits) haru says the same thing he once said at the beginning of season 1? about how "at age 5, you're a prodigy. at age 15, you're a genius. at age 20(?), you're average." and this is def gonna be explored/concluded in the second part of the final stroke movie so i'm excited for that!!!! april 2022 come at me!!!!

there were SOOOOO many other things going on, plot wise and fanservice wise, and ofc kyoto animation was fucking TOP TIER SHIT. all the water effects... there was a shot where haru was looking at his reflection in the water and they make a drop fall and spread and shake his reflection in the waves and it was lafkjsefoiaeja fucking glorious. the soundtrack was lovely too. there was a RADWIMPS-esque beginning song and a sexy ass electric guitar buildup for kinjou (which may or may not be contributing to my growing obsession with him...)

AHHHH!!!! it was so good and everyone was so cute and handsome and gay and funny. we literally see every single character we've met before in some way, shape, or form lmfao. i might just go back to the theater and watch it again on one of the upcoming holidays this week.... SO GOOD. SO GOOD.

I LOVE ALL THESE GAY SWIMMING BOYS SO MUCH 😩😩😩
