BNHA 429: It's not really a win when the only comfort is that Izuku/Ochako didn't became canon during a breakdown.

Honestly I think this is the most confused I've been with this story, so this might be the most openly critical I've been. (I've rewritten this five times already, so if it looks all over the place, I apologize).

"Joki Joki" being Tenko was debunked, which. You know what. Fair. Creating a character that looks like him only for be someone else with a tragic backstory five chapters before the finale? That's kinda cruel.

Harsh backstory for a small-role guy, by the way. A mutant Quirk (that we'll probably know only from supplemental material, if at all) his family didn't have, mouth sewn shut, locked in a basement for years, family leaves him and (probably) a Decay Wave was his only escape? And they say the world of BNHA isn't a harsh one /hj

I'm glad they didn't pull a Teen Wolf (iykyk). Ochako thinks Himiko is dead, Izuku's a shoulder to cry on. For... *counting* 4 pages of holding it in, 2 of actually talking about it, all of the 8 being about Izuku being nice but hypocritical (emotional suppression my dear beloathed Ch. 430 I fear you-).

Izuku says she's "his hero"- it's true, he thinks all his friends are his heroes. But we're shown 2/4 times (Blackwhip and the mob, but not Tenko cornering him in the mall, or their first meeting?) which made me realize he's the only named character/hero she "saved". The "who saves the heroes" thing? Not like she helped other heroes, that plot went to- oh.

Also, the whole "putting others before yourself", the only example listed that comes close to this is her giving some of her Entrance Exam points to him. The others are just her being nice to him, repressing her feelings, Blackwhip was the only other moment that kinda counted. The only "other person" she put before herself? Himiko.

I'll believe Himiko's dead when I see it; blood transfusions don't kill the donator. They take a minimum of 4hrs max. They sent Spinner and Touya to a hospital, but not Himiko, who was unconsicous, winging a transfusion out? Yeah, that's bullshit, "hope for a sequel" is becoming more and more of a plea.

I wish I could say I liked the breakdown, but all I think is "Ochako's a character development tool, with redundant, pointless arcs, and all she got is doomed yuri, trauma and reassuring words from a LI".

I didn't see Izuku crying at first; removing "Joki Joki's" 2 pages, the "talk" took 8/15 pages, I kept wondering when did he ever relied on "her strength", it's not like he trusted her enough to talk about his feelings, secrets or anything.

Class A interrupting was funny, I'm with Katsuki: Does Izuku still have embers (he does). I'm sorry to Ochako, I just didn't care anymore. I knew he didn't tell anyone else, lol (<- I'm shaking him into opening up-). But if he wasn't willing to open up about that I wonder what else doesn't Class A know. Does Inko know her son's dreams are over again or…?

Uh. One For All, crystalization of power from everyone's hopes, LFtR vestige scene, remaining embers looking a bit stronger, "Control Your Heart" is still a thing, "holding someone's hand makes me feel at peace", we have that talk with Katsuki, rule of narrative means if he opens up there's a chance this story can end on a hopeful note, Izuku fans here's how we can still win- (I'm inhaling hopium, I know)

I'm confused Hawks isn't getting ditching the Hero Billboards, just expanding it for "ordinary people". Isn't that continuing part of the problem? Part of why Dabi was created, why many heroes don't care about being a hero? I get it's to inspire others to be everyday heroes, but this if backfires in-universe...

Aoyama's farewell party with Eri singing was as sidelined as the 3Baka (… actually no, 3Baka is still more sidelined sob) and it hurts, but hey. Monoma got a statue before Katsuki, I just know if he isn't traumatized about his corpse he will brag. (I'm trying to find positives in this chapter)

The last pages. I know it's symbolic. Society extending a hand, Izuku "inspired" them to move. It's what Izuku was talking about in Ch. 1, "saving people is the coolest thing a hero can do". It's even from his poem inspiration "Called useless by all/Neither praised/Nor a bother/Such is the person/I wish to be".

But it doesn't come just from Izuku fighting giving up OFA, but from him still failing Tenko, who was doomed from the start, the LoV never knew who he was before "Tomura" (so. Spinner how's the book working out-). And no one else wants to, look at Ch. 427.

If it was still an ambiguous "AFO searched for Tenko", fine Ig, but since Ch. 419, it's half "No one helped Tenko except AFO" and half "Tenko never had a chance to live". I'm not saying them hating Tenko isn't justified. Look at what they have to rebuild. But ditching the "Tenko's whole life was planned" part, they still don't know the LoV came to be because they thought a child looked scary. Jeez, no one knows they were victims of ostracism, abuse, manipulation. Why they turned out the way they did.

And it ends on Izuku and Ochako smiling with the "future where heroes can relax" line. It's adorable, but they're still dealing with the guilt of Tenko and Himiko being gone. But I guess it's fine because they're smiling now? Because people are now doing something? So the reward from almost dying is: Bystander syndrome is chipping away?

*sigh* I guess the TL;DR for my opinions are:

Joki Joki isn't Tenko but damn if he isn't a woobie,

If I don't see the corpse Himiko isn't dead, I refuse,

Somehow Ochako's breakdown was more about Izuku, and we still didn't get introspection, just because it's comforting words doesn't mean they don't feel hollow,

It sounds like I hate her: I don't hate Ochako, I just hate the way she's written in "Tell, Don't Show" for Izuku, even my opinions about the breakdown are more about "dude what are you talking about" rather than it being about her and her alone, so I can't take her as seriously,

I think I just became Katsuki ATP: yeah yeah she's crying but what about Izuku and OFA- oh it's mostly fine.

The fun bits were relegated to two pages and small panels but I like to think Monoma goes to Katsuki's room to brag about the statue, Eri deserved to have a full page to sing

Hawks, I fail to see the point of switching Hero Billboards to "Everyday Ladybug" Billboards,

Bystander Syndrome is one thing, how are they gonna prevent another instance of the LoV if they don't know it was discrimination that started it all or that Tenko was a walking Greek Tragedy?

Izuku and Ochako's smiles give "Aw, it's adorable. Oh it's traumatized" vibes.

Yeah no, I'm not buying it. If Edgeshot can still live, why can't Himiko or Tenko? Why does Izuku still have embers, if we have one chapter left? What is the reasoning for "twisting fate", "saving and winning", "perfect victory with zero casualties", "I wanna save that little boy" if it ends on standard shonen ending?

Hell, OFA had dead people communicating with our protagonist and antagonist, and is connected to the deuteragonist, and you're telling me it doesn't mean something good can happen to Tenko?

... God now I just hope the next one isn't a timeskip, just Izuku and Katsuki holding hands, talking and being honest to each other (especially Izuku because oh boi I have seen some Writing Critics and I can't say I disagree) (maybe we'll confirmation on what actually happened to Himiko and Tenko, what about OFA, but that only depends on the page count of the next one).

Once again, sorry if it's all over the place, this chapter just. It wasn't great, in my (overthinking) opinion. I'm still unconvinced Himiko and Tenko are dead dead, until the last page of BNHA, we now have BKDK talking left, so let's see what the next one will bring. And I'm not rewritting all of this, I'm tired XD

So, yeah, that's my thoughts! Thank you for reading!

[mieltelecheycrema]

yk no one really talks about the ending glitch thing (from what ive seen) in f and c like yeah its a whole blink and you miss it type thing but the implications !!!!

[tritoch]

fuck it. have an enormous oc lore dump. this is the "canon" wol oc i conceived as part of my personal preferred approach in some games to take the game's text as presented, not headcanon away any elements, and, as much as possible, adhere to whatever "definitive" canon as best as can be discerned from what's given as an option. as a comedy bit, I also wanted to make a Warrior of Light who does everything you can do in canon, like an omnijob level 90 did all the raids did all the beast tribes caught every fish did all the relics did every hildi questline kind of WoL. Someone who really does mostly communicate through nods and punch gestures and only says the specific lines you can say in game (except for the scenes, increasingly common in later expacs, where they let you imagine a conversation). I just think it's funny to take an approach to the game that is at once fairly restrained (no elements beyond what is already presented in the lore) and extremely maximalist (yes, he one hundred percent did steal those pants). spoilers through stormblood under the break.

Wolund Anadezhda (not his real name) was born in Bozja in the year 1533 of the Sixth Astral Era to a young gunbreaker in Bozja's army and her husband, a foundling adept of the Verdant Path and fellow soldier. Resolving that their son would not grow up in the shadow of war, the Hrothgar couple resolved to have him sent out of the country shortly after his birth. He grew up instead under the care of his father's adoptive sister, a master of the Verdant Path in her own right, who left Bozja some years prior under uncertain circumstances after a serious injury left her unable to return to the front lines.

The sister (a Sea Wolf Roegadyn) had through various adventures found herself running a Dalmascan caravanserai, a walled inn a day's travel west of the city of Rabanastre. There, she raised Wolund both to run an inn and in the forms of the Verdant Path. Though not a warm woman, she did her best to raise Wolund carefully and lovingly, and honoring her brother and sister-in-law's wishes, tried to shelter him from the horrors of the world. He, in return, idolized her. He received sporadic letters from his parents, at least until Bozja fell. Their ultimate fates are unknown, though Wolund believes that even if they didn't die during the course of the war, they likely died as part of the resistance or in the Bozja Incident.

In the year 1547, 6th AE, Dalmasca is invaded by the IVth Legion. The caravanserai is close enough to the border for the Garlean line to advance past it fairly quickly, and Wolund chooses to remain with his aunt in order to protect her from the occupation as best he could. As Wolund has grown, his aunt has told him stories of the devastation war had wreaked in Bozja, and of the losses she still grieved. She explained to him that students of the Verdant Path such as herself had been targeted by the IVth Legion to be brought in dead or alive in a bid to control their knowledge and break Bozja's ability to resist, and that she had fled the country at her brother's behest to preserve the school's knowledge for future generations. Chafing under Imperial rule, Wolund aspired, at the time, to learn as best he could from her, follow in her footsteps, and do his part to maintain the lineage of the Verdant Path school.

In my conception, the Verdant Path, as a multidisciplinary school that teaches (at least) spear, greatsword, katana, and unarmed combat as part of its tradition, encompasses more of a martial philosophy, conceptual approach to space, and footwork system than a specific set of techniques for various weapons. This is a key element of why Wolund, in order to adhere as closely to the maximum extent of the available canon as possible, can pick up like 19 different martial disciplines, sweet Mary Sue that he is.

As he aged into his late teens and early twenties, Wolund was settling into his role as his aunt's chef, handyman, disciple, and likely future replacement innkeeper, as her war injury made physical labor increasingly difficult. Also around this time, Wolund has a brief engagement with a Keeper of the Moon Mi'qote merchant, part of a tribe of several Keeper families who operated a caravan which plied a route between Rabanastre and Martrvje in Bozja. At her behest, largely as a practical matter on her end though not without some romance, they had a child together, with the intent that, as in most Keeper families, she would raise the child herself, though he would, by grace of the caravan's route, have periodic contact with them both.

Before the child's birth, however, an imperial recruiter looking to fill a quota came through town. And so in the year 1556, 6th AE, at the age of 23, Wolund was conscripted and assigned to the VIth Legion, then a corrupt and disorderly force occupying the relatively peaceful southern coast of Ilsabard. A far cry from Emperor Solus's disciplined armies, the VIth Legion then was scarcely indistinguishable from a private mercenary group answering to local colonial governments.

Wolund struggled after his initial conscription, seething at the prospect of two decades under the Garlean Empire's yoke, fell into despair, and tried to emotionally withdraw. Since he was a quiet, disciplined conscript as well as a young and fairly imposing Hrothgar, his Garlean officers read in him the ready Garleanization that they wished to see. His practiced prowess in the training hall further contrasted his "bestial" appearance in the eyes of the bigoted Garlean officers. In Wolund, they saw a useful tool and status symbol for their occupation.

Consequently, while Wolund's time resembled the expected conscript experience in many respects, it was also marked by unexpected success in the unusual, corrupt environment of the VIth Legion. He spent plenty of time in his first couple of years on hard, undesirable labor, as any conscript would: digging ditches, building infrastructure, policing occupied populations, and, in the singular case of open conflict breaking out, serving on the front lines. However, he stood out from his peers, and he found himself frequently serving as a sort of exotic trophy or bodyguard for increasingly senior officers or local bigwigs. Eventually, he found himself attached to the staff of the legion's 10th Cohort as vexillarius, or standard-bearer, for the cohort's pilus prior. This turned out to be, given his centurion's corruption and close links to the local colonial government, merely a slightly more elevated form of his old work serving as muscle and an imposing presence behind preening dignitaries.

At this point, about six years into his two decades, Wolund's conscription seemed on a steady path to eventual citizenship. For his part, he remained as emotionally disengaged as he could manage, materially secure in his position in the 10th Cohort. The insulated world he built came crashing down in his sixteenth year of service, when crown prince Varis yae Galvus sent his close friend and confidant Regula van Hydrus to reform the corrupt VIth Legion. Many senior officers, including Wolund's centurion, were executed by firing squad for their abuses and indiscretions, with still more clapped in irons and hauled before military tribunals. Efforts to reform the legion's reputedly undisciplined soldiers saw Wolund, like many other conscripts, detached from the VIth in the hopes that reassignment to a more disciplined legion could salvage the conscripts that, in Regula's eyes, the VIth had nearly wrecked. Wolund found himself assigned to the VIIth Legion in 1572, on the eve of Carteneau.

Of Carteneau itself, there is little to say, and what few coherent memories Wolund may have had were taken by Louisoix's magic, along with Eorzea's Warriors of Light. Wolund crawled out of the catastrophe and butchery of the Seventh Umbral Calamity to find himself one of the VIIth's few survivors. Reassigned to the Vth, he served out the rest of his term quietly, though nightmares of Carteneau continued to plague him. While serving in the Vth Legion, he served as a quartermaster and honed his skill in both literacy and sums.

In year 4 of the Seventh Umbral Era, Wolund completed his term of conscription. Engraved and sealed legionary diploma in hand, he made his way to Garlemald itself, where his paperwork was verified and his name added to the citizen's registry. He returned to the caravanserai outside Rabanastre as Wolund pyr Anadezhda. There, he found his aunt, now some 20 years older, and her unexpected apprentice as innkeeper: his own daughter, now a 20-year-old woman and soon to be running the place herself.

For about four months, Wolund tenuously reinserted himself into the daily life of the inn while attempting to form a connection to his daughter and reconnect to his aunt and his daughter's mother. His efforts to begin his life again were cut short when soldiers came sniffing around the caravanserai on the order of a local magistrate, a former officer of the VIth Legion who sought to employ him as a trainer to his household guard. Recognizing that he would not be able to live a life free of the Garlean Empire's boot so long as he remained within their lands, and not wishing to endanger his daughter or aunt by enlisting them in his decision, Wolund simply skipped town one night. He left behind all his possessions except for enough money to see him safely overseas, as well as a letter that stated tersely that he did not wish to be followed. From the caravanserai he made his way by horse to Rabanastre and then to Valnain, where he caught a ride on a merchant ship bound for Hingashi, and from thence to Limsa Lominsa, where he arrived in year 5 of the Seventh Umbral Era.

Upon arriving in Eorzea, Wolund, leaning on his most recent skills in math and reading, as well as his admittedly rusty knowledge of trade goods from his time at the caravanserai, applies to work at the Arcanist's Guild. Everything proceeds as it does in the game from there.

All this is in service of a couple things. First of all, honestly, giving him a big backstory where various bad things happen to him over the course of a long time is primarily in service of dealing with what I think is one of the shakiest scenes in the game: the moment where Fordola accidentally uses the Echo on you and is shocked to her core by the scale of the tragedy you've overcome. I just don't think this makes a lot of sense for the WoL based just on what's depicted in-game, as sad as the events of the Banquet and Haurchefant's and Ysayle's deaths and Minfilia's sacrifice are. Giving him a comparable backstory to Fordola as a legion conscript does a lot, in my book, to smooth out that scene and make its emotional weight land better in my head, as do elements like the death and destruction he witnessed at Carteneau and the stuff about his daughter.

Secondly, in addition to that scene, this is just supposed to help set up a lot of stuff about the WoL I find a little clunky, particularly earlier on. Why does everyone in the Scions immediately glom on to you and decide you're their hero? Well, maybe the WoL is a stoic and outwardly emotionally reassuring older man who's conveniently older than the oldest of the Scions by more than a decade, and he can fill the Louisoix-shaped hole in their hearts that each of them except maybe Y'shtola very obviously has. How are you simultaneously everyone's favorite guy and also a story non-entity? Maybe he's nice and kind to people but very bad at handling and leading them initially (as evidenced by letting Alphinaud sleepwalk you all into a trap at the Banquet), in part because he spent the better part of two decades playing the part of mute imposing muscle for aristocratic officers. And maybe the fact he's consciously silenced himself for 20 years plays into the fact that the Warrior of Light becomes chattier throughout the expansions. Maybe he knows how to wear Garlean conscript armor and operate magitek because he was once a conscript himself. And so on and so forth.

Third, playing by my dumb "canon" rules, the WoL has to come from outside Eorzea. You're arriving by ship or cart and you're clearly unfamiliar with the city-states by the text. However, you also can't come from a lot of known places, since then you're bumping up against the issue that those places will also treat you like a stranger when you arrive in-game. There's no Bozja dialogue for being Hrothgar, but 1) to them it's not weird they'd have no reason to mention it and 2) this is why he isn't culturally Bozjan. Linking the WoL to Dalmasca solves this issue because the only Dalmascans you meet would have no reason to know a random Imperial conscript, you have no real time with them to shoot the shit about culture, we will not go to a functioning Rabanastre ever, and there is no reason you would have wanted to share all this with anyone on board the Prima Vista. Fourth, the WoL is a person of many talents and skills. Chalking up his weapon skills to the Verdant Path and his conscription, and linking his DoH/DoL skills to his upbringing, goes a long way towards helping ground some of that (as much as delightful nonsense can be grounded). Fifth, I think it's really funny to make the Warrior of Light a deadbeat dad. Final Fantasy is so full of bad sad dads already, WoL should get to be one. Lastly, I'm jealous that 1.0 players got to be at Carteneau and I want to bite their style but I refuse to break canon to do so, which means conscript it has to be (since being from a Free or Grand Company would contravene the earlier point about having to be new to Eorzea).

(A note on timelines: ARR begins in the year 5 of the Seventh Umbral Era, which would have been Year 1577 of the Sixth Astral Era. Per the wiki, Bozja is noted to have been invaded some fifty years ago, suggesting a war that begins in 1527 or so, but its conquest is described as happening "over thirty" years ago and multiple places note the campaign as grueling, so I think part of the idea (which gels with the trenches we see in the southern front) is supposed to be that the Bozjan campaign was a brutal and grinding one for the IVth Legion, or that after seizing Bozja proper it still took a long time to stamp out all resistance. Dalmasca was invaded 30 years ago in 1547, also by the IVth Legion, presumably fairly soon after stabilizing their grip on Bozja. I don't think there's any time given for when Regula goes to the VIth and reforms it, but since they only clear their tainted reputation in the succession war following Solus's death, I figure he can't have been there that long and he makes a convenient reason to move Wolund around, so five years approximately concurrent with the 1.0 to 2.0 timeskip seems like a decent timeline for his reform.)

Reading TGCF: Chapter Eleven

For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

Surprise! It is not masala chai; today I have a regular black tea with milk and sugar.

In other news, in celebration of finishing book one I have purchased book 3! It should get here Friday, and I can't wait. Shout out to my manager for fueling my habits with the indigo gift card she gave me for Christmas.

Let's go chapter 11!!!!!!!!

They better stop! coming on immediately so strong with the most sincere and heartfelt title calling!! p355

"You were the groom?" he's saying these things like this man doesn't want to wife him right now. Xie Lian LOL watch what you're saying. p356

This chapter is too much. My heart! The flirting! "May I take these words as a compliment?" Can't you tell they're compliments? p357

Again mxtx and the worlds most complicated characters. Making me feel things, and second guess everyone's motivations. Re: Banyue telling xie lian and hua cheng that General Pei Jr isn't a bad person. p359

If Hua Cheng and Xie Lian both picked their fake names from the same poem, I hereby declare them soulmates. No take backs, it's done. p360

You know what, if all else fails, Xie Lian would make an excellent motivational speaker. "I want to save the common people" "Do what you think is right" "Nothing can block your way" The cutest little "hang in there" cat poster embodied. p361

THE CHEEK POKE! Followed by "Not bad" I am wheezing! This awkward man. p363

Oh no, my emotions. Hua Cheng about his true face, "I'll let you see it someday, if there's a chance" p364

"those were good words" poor baby flustered xie lian. He cannot handle a single sincere compliment from Hua Cheng. The pillow talk in this chapter is so dang cute! p367

Here I am reading these words and lowkey hoping that it was Hua Cheng who Xie Lian told to "live for him". My biggest question at this point in the series is why/when/how did Huan Cheng become so into Xie Lian. It feels like he's known this guy for a very long time. p368 (do not actually tell me this. it'll probably be revealed later, but with Xie Lian, unreliable narrator, I feel like it'll be right before the extras LOL).

BRO LEFT HIM. WITH A PROMISE THEY WOULD MEET SINCERELY AGAIN. AND LEFT HIM A RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG this is so precious, TOO MUCH. p372

I totally thought the end of this chapter would ruin me

I was NOT wrong, but it was in a very unexpected way! I expected tragedy and I got the cutest fucking pillow talk, a PROMISE and a RING. WHAT.

Watching Agatha All Along Be Like 🪄

Featuring mother & son —> Bradley & Stella

——

Some spoiler for anyone who didn’t watch it btw 😅

————

Episode 1/2

The two were hiding out in the dinning room of the house. Usually all the avengers and magic crap was in the garage or basement. Expect for a few things, such as Stella’s mini magic mirror which was the size of an iPad. The two sense something was going on, well more Bradley as he was secretly trying to test out magic and clocked in the mess.

In response the mirror was displayed on the table showing snippets of Agatha and her damn journey when suddenly—

Bradley using the spell book and paused, “Who the heck is that kid?”

He points to the boy with Agatha.

Stella popped her head into the room, clocking in the looks of the boy and her eyes widen. She swallowed her breath and waved a hand as a warm orange gentle circle appeared to get a better look of the boy’s face, showing it to her son, who was watching the scene going on. The two whispered and talked among themselves of theories.

She paused seeing Bradley using the spell book. She raised an eyebrow, “Why are you using that thing? I thought you said you weren’t into that magic thing like your uncle is.”

“I know that but then I realized how convenient it was!” He said exclaiming, “Look I got a date on Friday night and I need to look good…what if my date doesn’t like my hair or I say something stupid?”

“First off, your curls are cute. Secondly, your a Strange and a Rogers, being a bit stupid is part of the charm.”

“Should I be worried though? Besides you use magic to make yourself look good too.”

“You’ll be fine I promise.”

He grins, “Can I still use the spell book to help me with my homework assignment and convince my date to like me?”

“I—magic has rules, buddy.” She replied kindly, “You can’t use magic to cheat depending on who you are, it can lead you down a slippery path.”

“Fine…”

He was about to say something else and gasped looking at the screen. Instead he yelled, “Why is Agatha naked?!”

~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

Vs Episode 5

Stella was chilling on the couch detangling her messy curls, meanwhile Steve and Kendall were outside doing something important. Every now and then her or Bradley would come that dang song that Agatha’s coven sang.

Kendall wanted to smack his brother for repeatedly singing that song over and over again.

The house was pretty quiet today when suddenly a loud noise was heard and a scream from the dining room.

“I F*UCKING KNEW IT!”

“Language!”

Stella rushed into the dinning room and huffed out of breath seeing Bradley wearing his classic jacket and beanie holding the mirror close to his face mumbling some words. He looked like he just solved a puzzle and is texting it to everyone he knows.

“What happened?” She asked putting her hair up in a bun.

He looks up smirking, “That ‘Teen’ dude, you know the cute very excited boy from the beginning? He is aunt Wanda’s kid…I hope! I saw the crown thingy on him.”

Stella held a matching smirk looking at the mirror and grinned, “I knew it! I shouldn’t be surprised it was obvious.”

“It was?!” He asked in a gasp.

“Honey, i’m a mother myself, I clocked in Wanda’s facial features real quick on that boy.”

“Damn mom you’re smart.”

“And Agatha isn’t for not realizing that sooner.”

Bradley then remembered something and added, “Oh that cute Asian witch, Alice? She died. RIP to her and her pretty fashion sense.”

“She’ll be fine.” Stella replied waving a hand and smiled, “Oh, you never told me how your date went.”

“Eh, it was okay she was into someone else. But a cute barista smile at me yesterday and he gave him extra sugar in of my coffee.”

“Aww that’s sweet!”

Naegamigiri Shower Thought (literal) Also SLIGHT spoiler-ish talk and all! Is tagged as spoilers!! No worries!!

Sometimes, I like thinking about domestic situations with these three, perhaps living together for some reason. But, not like the overly cute ideas like them going on little movie dates in the comfort of their own living arrangement. Not that those aren't fun to think of though! I'll always be a sucker for some good ass fluff. However, I've came to a specific thought in mind. I have a feeling Makoto's hair is kinda thick and would clog a drain. I also feel Kyoko with her long hair would also clog a drain. Kyoko's more carful about it, ensuring she brushes her hair thoroughly before showering though occasionally gets a bit forgetful due to her busy work ethic. It's either that or she's taking a late night shower, she's way more likely forget cus she kinda just wants to fuck off and go to bed. The gal means business after all, even if it means neglecting other things that are also kinda important. Would not be shocked at all if she just forgot to eat sometimes, not gonna lie. This gal is also constantly up at night working on cases or some other reasons I can't think of in this very moment. Meanwhile, Makoto is just a very forgetful man. Probably never really thought about this kinda stuff either. Not cus he's incompetent though. Man is just tired in life now. Probably been ages since he's actually been well rested due to his life of basically being the world's savior as the Ultimate Hope. My goodness though. Byakuya is SO giving him a talking too about it, even if the heir fails miserably because Makoto's exhaustion is unfortunately a bigger issue that 100% bleeds into other facets in his life. Case in point, the poor poor shower drain. I believe that thing gets clogged an abhorrent amount of times. These three gotta have some fumbles in their overworked lives after all, Kyoko with detective work and helping Makoto out on his shit, Byakuya working on rebuilding the economy. Also Makoto being the Ultimate Hope in general. Stuff like that. Completely understandable on their ends. Another thing of note is that I like to believe they all are inexperienced in their own rights, Makoto having the most experience. Not that it's a big bragging point or anything. The most he's got going is like having a crush at some point in life, getting a kiss randomly from a girl when he was in middle school, and maybe some shenanigans at Hopes Peak which he probably doesn't even remember cus of the dang memory wipe. But yeah. I like to think these three have their own shortcomings in their relationship, no matter what angle said relationship is looked at. Cus these three are strange. Back on the drain though, the plus side is that Byakuya's hair is the only one less likely to clog a drain so at least the poor thing isn't in constant agony. The blonde also totally blames Kyoko and Makoto for their plumbing problems. Not to say that his hair wouldn't cause issues when grown out (long haired byakuya supremacy moment hehe). However, Byakuya's a complainer through and through. No way is he going to just not obnoxiously sigh when he sees the specific brown and lavender hair slightly poking out of the drain. Besides, this man needs to be forced to do some manual labor. Make him do dishes and fumble his way through doing the laundry, completely confused on what any of the dials and buttons do. Make him unclog that shit outta that drain! Hell, have him with a drain unclogging montage with the Rocky music and everything! At the same time, my brain is also thinking of Your the Best Around blaring with the montage, Byakuya with big ass rubber gloves, kneeling on the ground, constantly working at it with that drain. Maybe him at a computer, hands on his temple as he stares at his bank account and what he has to do with it. Cus of course he's gonna complain about THAT too even though he's rich. Like, damn it! He should be doing more efficient things than this commoner cleaning shit! Byakuya needs to get humbled though, even if it's 10 or 30 or 50 years in the future.

Things I find so appealing one kinda has to wonder if I’m actually aroace pt. 2

Steven Grant Rogers as played by Chris Evans during the scene when Peggy Carter shoots him in the First Avenger. His sad wet dog eyes and cringefail vibes have captivated me.

when characters who are blind make eye contact with someone they should not be able to see. Similarly, when characters in the dark make eye contact with someone hidden in the shadows whom they by all accounts shouldnt know is there.

i just watched Endgame so this is on my mind but the scene where Steve (spoilers ig) holds mjolnir for the first time. 10/10 the most attractive in existence the Cinematic Symbolism

Chartres Cathedral no I will not elaborate that building is the sexiest thing on this planet.

when people draw the personification of Justice as a blind woman holding a scale and a sword. I would let her step on me.

James Buchanan Barnes as played by Sebastian Stan. No particular scene but the appeal increases progressively as he gets more and more traumatized.

when older women have long well-maintained grey/white/silver hair. Or when both older men and women have those two stripes of white back from their temples. 10/10 peak character design.

the color dark skin turns under golden-hour sun. Seriously wish my skin could glow like that what moisturizer do y’all use like dang-

similarly, the color of red hair on a foggy day when it’s the only thing of warm color for miles. I want nothing more than to be Merida but we can’t all get what we want can we?

high black leather combat boots. The ones with the buckles. Extra points if accompanied by a bubblegum pink outfit I think that clash of aesthetics is pog

black fingerless gloves.

when someone actually knows how to wield a melee weapon

Men with large beards they have braided. (The more I speak the more I unfortunately think I might just find Tolkien Dwarves attractive. Whelp. It could be worse ig)

when someone has a tattoo or an article of clothing they never remove that has some sort of cultural, religious, or personal meaning. This extends from my wearing my grandfathers dog tags to M��ori face tattoos to Mandalorian armor colors. I want to live in a world where people are more used to the idea of carrying ones history and soul in ones physical appearance. It’s neat (incredibly compelling and I respect it a lot) it’s also pretty :)

That 2012 Prada ‘Villain fashion’ menswear show or whatever that thing was Iconic-

actually just textile work in general, I could elaborate but it would take an eternity.

when a character with large rough hands holds something gently, especially another character’s face :)

My One Complaint About "Wicked"

Okay, so, all of my followers right now are going "Really? You're always on about how we need to stop complaining and enjoy The Thing, but your review is going to be your one complaint?" Yes, because you see if I talked about what I liked I'd lose my job, because I'd miss a straight week of work typing. And then no one would read it because tumblr would probably make me break it into ten separate posts and it would be too long. My complaint, on the other hand, is super short, and the fact that my complaint is something this dang minor should tell the world how much I loved the rest of the film, right?

Right.

So. It is technically a spoiler, although a massively minor one, but I'll still use the 'keep reading' tag for respect to those poor souls who haven't made it to the theater yet, or who, for some reason, need to wait for the streaming services.

The very first thing that Galinda does in "Popular" is take off Elphaba's glasses...and then put them right back on. As someone who wears glasses and who has honestly had someone* do the anime "OMG! You look so good without them! Have you ever considered contacts?" thing when they saw me without them, I just loved that.

Of course, having done that, we never see Elphaba in her glasses again! Which, okay, true of the stage musical too, and they'd probably fall off when she was flying due to air currents, but at least when she's on the ground! C'mon!

(*It is worth noting this has only happened once, and it was a really annoying, shallow coworker who I did not like. So it's not like it was hurtful at all, just kinda eye roll inducing. It still happened. It was still annoying.)

Guide: (N/N): Your Nickname (L/N): Your Last Name

"ALL ABOARD!" the man shouted at the top of his lungs as people started hurrying to board the ship.

"Miss (Y/N)!" a familiar voice called out, making you turn around and see Louis.

"Louis!" you smiled, excusing yourself from the crowd as you went back down.

"What's wrong? Did I forget something?" you asked, checking your luggage.

"Not exactly," he answered, showing a pigeon in a cage.

"His name is Ingram. He's a homing pigeon," he explained, giving you the cage.

"I wasn't sure what to give as a parting gift, but..." he trailed off, making you smile.

"I'll keep in touch," you put down the cage and your bags as you hugged him, feeling him freeze up before wrapping his arms around you.

"Besides," you pulled away, "I'll be back before you even know it!"

You sighed as you crumpled your letter, throwing it in the bin in frustration.

"Come on..." you muttered, massaging your head to work as your eyes drifted to the stack of letters you wrote to William.

You pursed your lips as you took another clean sheet, writing out your feelings.

"Coo," you heard flapping as bony feet landed on your shoulder, seeing Ingram peeking at your letter.

"Nosey, aren't we?" you smirked, rubbing his head gently.

"That reminds me, we should buy some cabbages,"

"Ingram, I'm home-" you entered your room and saw Ingram with one of your letters to William.

"Ingram...?" you called out as the pigeon hopped to the window.

"Ingram," you called out more sternly, slowly walking to him.

"Coo!" he cooed as he flew out of the window.

"INGRAM, NO!" you shouted as you ran up to him and grabbed him, missing by an inch.

"Ingram!" you called out, but the pigeon was already on his way.

"That bird..." you grumbled, glaring at Ingram as he flew away.

You sighed as you closed the window, "Good thing I didn't put an address on those,"

Meanwhile...

"Hm?" Billy quirked a brow as a pigeon flew into his window.

"Back so soon?" he chuckled, seeing another letter with it.

He breathed out a smile as he rubbed the pigeon's head.

"Nice work," he complimented as Ingram hopped onto his shoulder.

"William-kun!" Billy happily called in the halls,

"There's another letter for you!"

You sighed as you watched an elderly couple walk by, making you frown.

"I wonder..." you muttered, looking down at your luggage and Ingram.

"Coo?" he tilted his head to you, making you chuckle.

"It's nothing," you smiled, stopping by a bench and taking a deep breath.

"Three years... and I'm back..." you muttered, looking at the familiar roads and shops.

You sadly smiled at the sight, bittersweet memories of William coming into mind.

You sighed again and sniffed, tears slipping out of your eyes.

"Need one?" you looked up and saw someone handing you a handkerchief.

"Oh, thank you..." you sniffled, taking the handkerchief and wiping your tears.

"Three years is a long time to wait, huh?"

You chuckled, "You can say that-" you abruptly stopped and looked up, seeing a smirking Sherlock.

"Sherlock!?" you asked, your body instinctively hugging him.

"Long time no see, (N/N)," he chuckled as your tears wouldn't stop falling.

"Dang, you two really are crybabies," he laughed as you continued to sob on his chest.

"Sorry about that..." you muttered, finally calming down with your eyes now red and swollen.

"Don't worry about it," he reassured you as he grabbed something from his coat pocket.

"I came to give you this," he explained, giving you a letter.

You furrowed your brows as you took it from him.

"Is it...?"

"Yep, it's from him," he confirmed, making your breath hitch in your throat.

"But I better get going," he stood up, "I have another mission," he apologized, dusting his coat.

You smiled as you gave him another hug.

"It was nice seeing you again, Sherlock," you beamed, fixing your hair.

"I'll see you later," Sherlock ruffled your hair as he walked off, making you chuckle.

"See ya!"

"Do you think she'll come?" William asked Sherlock as they prepared for dinner.

"It's (N/N). I'm sure she's just late," Sherlock reassured, but William was unconvinced.

"What if she found someone else?"

"Miss (L/N) focused on her career, from what we understood in her letters," Louis answered as he set up the table.

"Plus, you've read the letters she wrote to you," Sherlock added, putting a hand on William's shoulder.

"You didn't wait three years to propose to her just to back out last minute, did you?"

William breathed out as he gripped the ring box in his hand.

"Of course not,"

"Then there you go," Sherlock grinned, seeing you arrive in a carriage.

You looked around curiously as you walked up to the entrance.

"Moment of truth," Sherlock winked at William, who took a deep breath as Fred and James opened the doors.

Sunday Six!

Well dang, I woke up to 3 different tags! Thanks for booping me, @ohayouasagohan @four-white-trees and @passthroughtime!

The people I typically tag have already gotten tagged, but I'll grab the ones who haven't posted: @mike----wazowski @skysquid22 @woundedheartwithin @fire-tempers-steel

And, as usual, if you see this and wanna participate, post something today and tag me! I'll tag you back next week

In terms of myself, Survive!Mine has been coming along splendidly, the other 2 chapters should come out very soon (trying to decide when to release chapter 3) and I have a Kaigami fic that'll probably come out in between them :)

So with that in mind...

Let's do something fun this week. I did finish Gaiden and I couldn't help but write something about a specific concept. No idea if this'll be it's own thing or not but we'll see

It's been a while since I wrote about some certain guys, hasn't it?

So uh, Gaiden side content spoilers ahead!

--------

“Yeah… What was that guy’s name…? Joryu?” Higashi mumbled, trying to recall their trip to Sotenbori, and giving Kaito a harsh look.

Kaito claps his hands together. “Yeah! Joryu! Man, you have to admit he looked pretty slick.”

Higashi softened his stare at his aniki for a brief second. “Do you even remember what he wore?”

Kaito shrugs his shoulders in response, moving Sugiura’s legs so he can sit on the couch with him. Sugiura groans and shoves Kaito with his foot.

“Are you all going to enlighten me as to-” Yagami starts to speak but is immediately cut off.

“Oh yeah, I remember him!” Sugiura piped up, sitting up fully on the couch and forgetting his light feud with Kaito. “We were all under his Clan thing at that weird Castle place, weren’t we? Man, that was a lot of fun.”

“Your definition of fun is a tad concerning, Sugiura,” Higashi said, leaning back in the chair he was sitting in.

“What in the... Is someone going to clue me in?” Higashi hears Yagami protest from his desk, but he ignores him. The detective has work he needs to do, anyway.

[nerd-chocolate]

Adoration Spoilers:

I just make a quote about Zoé x Cosette and used the confession scene in the canon to do that also there a bonus at the end so read that please. Also I’m using @razrrosamond oc and @artzychic27 ocs so I’m just tagging them

Zoé: But Marinette is not the one I'm in love with.

Cosette: Oh! Who is it then, Zo?

Zoé: *blushing at them while gently grabbing their hand*

Cosette: … *blushing as well* oh! Oh!

Zoé: *takes a deep breath* My feelings for you grew when I came to Paris and they kept growing ever since then. I wanted to tell you for so long but felt scared too since I didn’t know how you'd react.

Cosette: … well I'm surprised you have a crush on me since I also have one on you as well. But I was never going to tell you since you deserve a lot better than me, Zoé. You're an amazing person and you deserve someone who is just as amazing as you.

Zoé: But you're the best thing to ever happen to me! You were willing to give me a chance even after I acted rude to you and I want you as my girlfriend because you mean a lot to me but that is only if you want to be.

Cosette: *smiles softly* I would love to be your girlfriend.

Zoé: … *starts crying and hugs Cosette and then picks them up and spins them around with the happiest smile on her face*

Cosette a bit is taken for a moment: … *laughs while blushing* I love you, big dork.

Zoé: And I love you too, short geek.

Cosette: So how should we tell our friends that we’re dating?

Zoé: Hmmm… I have an idea how to tell them!

Cosette: Hm? What is it, Zo?

Zoé: You just have to wait and experience it yourself, my honey pie. *gently holds Cosette’s face, kiss their cheek* See you tomorrow!

Cosette: … ‘Dang… I find the pet names really adorable and cheesy.’ …Heh, I love that dork.

~The next day~

Jean: Hey guys have you seen Zoé? She was supposed to show me the plans for the end of the year party that is happening soon.

Lacey: I don’t think hav-

Zoé: *kicks the door open while bridal carrying Cosette* GUESS WHO GOT TOGETHER!?!?!

Cosette: *blushing while doing finger guns* Heyyyyy, it's us!

The science kids: …

Marc: FUCKING FINALLY!!!!

Aurore: Congrats, Zoé. At least, one of us disaster lesbians got a girlfriend before the year ended.

Reshma: Yeah, I’m happy for you two!

Ismael: Especially since I don’t need to listen to Cosette’s bisexual disaster self about Zoé, anymore.

Cosette: HEY!! I wasn’t that much of the disaster. *Zoé kisses it’s cheek and it blushes with a smile*

Marc: Aww, reminds me when I’m with Nath when he’s grumpy sometimes.

Simon: *Holding Denise’s hand in a very affectionate way* Glad you two got together already since you two were pinning for each other for a long time.

Denise: Especially while we’re watching the whole thing unfold ourselves.

Mireille: Which leads me to think. Who was the one to confess first?

Zoé: It was me.

Lacey: YES!! I knew it!! Raelynn owes me some money for our bet! New shoes here I come!!

Cosette: Dang Lacey, you didn’t bet on me?

Lacey: Sorry, dude but you're too much of a bisexual disaster to that.

Cosette: .. Yeah, you're right.

Jean: ‘I wonder if I can convince them to have double dates with me and Austin? I probably can.’ Also Zoé, do you have the ideas for the end of the year party? I mean I’m happy for you guys but I do need the plans.

Zoé: *puts Cosette down* Oh I do, don’t worry. I'll show you after class.

Jean: Great!

Ms.Mendeleiev: *walks in* Okay, class, let’s settle down and get started shall we?

The science kids: Yes Ms.Mendeleiev! *they head to their seats*

Ms.Mendeleiev: Also, Zoé please don’t kick my door when you want to make an announcement okay?

Zoé: Oh, yeah, sorry Ms.Mendeleiev.

Ms.Mendeleiev: It's okay, just don’t let it happen again. Now let’s get started with the lesson plan. ‘Im happy for those two. Also I totally won that bet between Jean-Pierre. Heh’

✨✨✨

The punshroom has graced me with sparkles 🎉

Because idk how these ask things actually work, uhhh here's kinda-longer one?

Another scene from Duality of Light (heed ao3 tags), but this one is actually deleted but DANG IT I WANTED TO KEEP IT SO BAD. Spoilers ahead~~~

~~~

Gavin held the tablet in his hands, fingers still lingering over the text that held the release papers for exhuming the grave.

"What do you think I should do?" Gavin asked Chloe. "You knew him."

"Are you thinking that you're not him?"

"Yeah, but…"

"Gavin," Chloe said. "Do you believe that what I've done before I deviated is me? I know it's not the same, but I think it might be… similar to what you're going through. My memories haven't changed, but my awareness of them has."

His grip on the tablet tightened, memories of Chloe shooting that other android that shared her same face that day, thirium splattering all over the walls and floors from the gunshot straight into android skull. The same thirium slowly draining from Chloe right now, flowing unseen in his own body, hiding the lie he was.

Yet, she said she knew him. And he's asked this question to Anderson, to Elijah, to even Connor, of all people, to answer who the fuck he is. And Chloe? He has memories of her, so many of them. She, of all people, like Elijah, should have the answer.

So why the fuck can't he get it?

"I don't know what to think, Chloe," Gavin said. "It's not fair. Someone trying so hard to make things work… And then he just… He just dies and leaves everything unfinished. Life's so fucking cruel."

And maybe that was the answer all along.

He couldn't accept the truth. It would've been so much better had he not known what really happened to him. No one was the wiser, right?

Except CyberLife. Fuck CyberLife.

"Who says he left it unfinished?" Chloe took his hand in hers. "Maybe you should see this as a second chance. I know that… how things got to this point wasn't right, but you're here. That you're still here means a lot." Chloe smiled, squeezed his hand. "Rachel and Henry did you a disservice, not seeing the potential you had. I'm sorry that they never got to see it. That Elijah never got to see it until it was too late. I hope you know that, even if it means little to you, I see it, Gavin, and I'm thankful that I finally had the chance to."

Hearing Chloe talk about Mom and Dad like that… Painting them in that not-so-great light instead of whatever Elijah programmed her to say. As if Chloe was actually having an opinion about them for once.

As if Chloe really was sincere.

A rarity where no one in this fucked up world would be real for once. Instead of some vapid concept of "caring" for someone. Of the thin veneer of just getting along for the sake of reputation.

"I'm sorry about what I said," Gavin said. "You don't believe that, right?"

"Is this about what you said before I made you leave?"

"How the fuck can you choose Chloe over your own flesh and blood? Chloe is nothing but a fake! A… A replacement! You created nothing but a monster!"

"You mean when he stopped talking to me? Yeah. I… I guess at the time I never thought it was possible."

Never thought it was possible for Chloe to be anything other than a machine.

"You wouldn't have known."

"I was still an asshole about it." Gavin pried his hand out of Chloe's grip. "This… This fucking sucks, Chloe. You…"

Even after all this time, he couldn't bring himself to confront the fact that someone was dying right in front of him. Not for his mom. Or his dad.

Fuck, maybe even for himself.

"It's okay, Gavin," Chloe said when he took too long to say anything else. "You don't need to say anything. I can live a hundred years, but I would've regretted every moment if I never got the chance to say I'm sorry."

Reading TGCF: Chapter Ten

For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

I truly wish I could say this was a different tea, but from now on unless I state otherwise it's probably masala chai.

Body update: I feel less like trash than yesterday, but my right arm did take a hit LOL. Thankfully my hip is doing a lot better too so sitting is much better. (I'm not even a writer or specifically a writer on ao3, yet, it feels like I have the ao3 curse).

Nevertheless- onwards to chapter ten!

Immediately Xie Lian is here using his body to protect San Lang! You tell Fu Yao! p329

I should have waited one more sentence LOL. "Because...if I stand next to him, the snakes wont come". p329

omg. There is a 6th person in the pit and I am still not sold that that kid (a-zhao) is actually dead. I'm still thinking about the garden face man and what he was saying. p331

WTF- General Pei jr?? p333

okay! But now I need to know General Pei jr.'s motivation for destroying a whole city! p335

ofc Xie Lian knew General Pei jr from when he was General Hua. Who does this man not accidentally know? p336

Jeeze. Banyue's people were going to strap bombs to themselves if they lost. This is wild. Based on the history between the two warring countries I really don't think there was hope for a peaceful end. pp337-338

Oh yay! we finally get to meet the two cultivators from the street! Also that art is absolutely stunning, I love them both so much. I do hope we meet them again. pp341-343

Oh no! The entire time they have been running from her (The Wind Master) thinking she was evil as shit but she was actually trying to help them. p343

Dang this makes sense. General Pei jr couldn't just murder people directly because of his position. So, instead he lured them to their deaths (snake deaths, pit deaths, but definitely not him killing them technically!). This is some dictatorship misuse of power shit with full technical deniability for this guy. Gross. p345

Xie Lian had me suspicious about the wind master too, but thank fuck Banyue was let go for her good deeds. p347

Bro just wants to do the right and good things but heavenly politics are too much. He is definitely going to offend everyone at some point. p350

Whos cutting onions?? My heart at this small child who decided they would be building Xie Lian a large temple when they got home :'3 I'm totally normal about this. p352

The speed in which Nan Feng fled when Xie Lian offered to make food LOOOL Nan Feng: oh no, so sorry, my basement is on fire, and flooded, definitely need to leave right at this moment. Terribly tragic. p353

eeeeeeeeeeeeeep! "I still prefer the name 'San Lang'" p354

ONE CHAPTER LEFT!

Now the question is, how will mxtx ruin my life in the last chapter of this book?

I do own book 2, BUT I think tomorrow I will order the third in celebration of finishing book 1. I might do this the last chapter of each book to prep for more reads.
