#do we like the new look of the blob thingies

Did you do a Dumaltor ship bingo yet? Asking for. Reasons. I think you know exactly which reasons.
RETURN OF THE SHIP BINGO RAAAHHHH fresh wave that smells suspiciously like it's been left out to sit for a while.
Alright so. Finally sharing how this came to be. Both because I've kept saying I would AND as a lil apology for taking so long-
Basically, it all started in *checks notes* 2021?? For those involved in this story anyway. Which includes the person who sent this ask. Nearing the end of the year the wizard server (at that point in time) was kinda joking around with the idea that every villain could come spend the holidays at the Black Circle house, since we decided they have a very big one, plus centuries of 'just hanging out' experience. Lot's of "Well those people HATE each other so they need to be kept apart or people are getting removed from the party >:((" bs, all in good fun. Then @duman-anon said something about Duman getting into the eggnog and I added a "That's how he ended up sleeping with Valtor" as a JOKE, but this proceeded to change the trajectory of that server for somewhere between. Weeks and months.
Takes were cooked up, half of us got to writing fics we either never posted or finished, then there was the art as well, all that stuff. It stopped being a joke real quick. @/4kidstv gave the ship 11/10 at some point btw. I doubt he remembers that, I doubt he even knew who Duman was at the time (or now), but I think about it sometimes.
You might be wondering! What's the appeal? They both have.. Monster forms.. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT BUT- It's one of MY personal favourite things. Teehee. Asking a man without visible wings "What's your wingspan?" is top comedy for me. Duman would be able to appreciate Valtor's demon form fr, he's finally not the only abomination in the roomWOW WHO SAID THAT. Anyway. I might not actively be doing anything with them, but I still appreciate them a fair bit. Though the Dumaltor fanclub ownership has absolutely been passed on to our asker over here smh!! I'll come back for it someday.
Tbh I think Valtor hanging out with any of the Wizards of the Black Circle, in whatever positive way, could be done more often. Like yeah, they could fight ig, but have you considered? Giving him some safe and healthy friendships? A wizard playdate? You can drop him off, he can stay for dinner, we'll see you at 10pm or something.
#milky ask game thingy :))#we're doing this again shhh#do we like the new look of the blob thingies#because i do#thought it'd be fun for the new wave sksks#i forgot how i used to tag these#have to look it up#winx valtor#winx duman#valtor x duman#duman x valtor#dumaltor#answered ask#did i purposely keep the main winx tag out of this dgdhj stop

...soo...
ok um technically this doesn't count at least in my timezone cause over here its already past midnight... um...
regardless...
weee!!!
I figured I'd make each of these mofos like individual post rather than make one really long reblog making it kinda hard to sort through and just list them using one tag instead.
So I suppose technically y'all get a double whammy today! Just gotta wait quite a while for it, heh...
So with this one I definitely did focus more on cake than the outfit. But hopefully you guys can still see the skrimblo
Anyways those are kiwi fruits, if you couldn't tell, don't @ me pls this is like one of the few times I've drawn fruits. Oh, and that black thingy? It's a tapioca pearl from bubble tea!! I think it's possible...
At first I wanted a more vibrant teal/green for the frosting and a lighter cake color similar to Mk's slice but that bright teal clashed hard with the kiwi fruit so I switched it out for the light light teal instead. Idk what flavor it'd be maybe like a more minty whipped cream.
Cakewise, it is darker than Mk's so I imagine it to be less airy, possibly more dense. Maybe like a ginger? Give any suggestions, but probably something funky for our funky girl!
Those 3 blobs with the weird cookie face on it is meant to be grape tanghulu with a dragon cookie on it! The rest of the cookies are as expected, good ole sugar cookies, though with the gold dragon I was having some trouble since Idk where to put the balloon since it left an empty space so I had to fill it with another cookie that would barely show, so yeah. That was fun
As for the dollops of frosting, I thought Mei is spunky fulunky, and a rich girl to boot! So let her have some pizzazz! I thought it appropriate
I think the balloon and dragon came out nicely, had to look for a reference for the dragon though. They're meant to be a paper decoration on a toothpick originally like Mk's cloud but at this point I leave it up for interpretation
Not much to say about the outfit, pretty similar to Mk's.
I know the KNY girls in their arts had skirts but my friend and I both thought Mei would look better in pants. (Not that she can't wear dresses, she slays in anything just that we thought she'd wear pants in this situation)
And I did try adding a little green skirt but it looked wonky and I didn't want that, bleugh
So I settled for compromise, making her like overcoat/vest thingy longer/ wider and gave her leggings so she also doesn't blend into the cake lol
And um life updates! I had like 4 tests today, I'm not kidding.
Good news is, tests for now are over!
Bad news is, still have an assignment to do...
Again, I'll do my best to keep this up. They are very fun and get my creative juices flowing I feel but no promises!

Watched the eighth episode of LEGO DreamZzz: Loved it!
EVERY NEW EPISODE IS MY FAVOURITE EPISODE! I feel very attached for all five of them, I want Mateo to keep working on his confidence, I wanted Cooper to keep walking his own way, I want Izzie to save her friends, I want Logan to better himself, I was Zoey to have more friends I... I... 😭😭😭
Also side note, the how to draw videos are super cute, Mateo is super good and also...
Mateo: I'll make a tutorial on how to draw all of these wonderous creatures, quite fascinating right? Anyway TODAY I'M GONNA DRAW MY VERY COOL FRIEND ZOEY
Yeah I'm pretty sure this guy has a crush 😂 And he thinks her eyelashes are pretty 💕💕
I'm super curious! ONTO THE EPISODE
(Yes I watched the whole first season already, and I was wondering if anyone knew where the second season is? I know someone on Youtube post it, but how? Where did it come out?)
THE BIGGER PICTURE
THE THUMBNAIL IS SHOWING MATEO AND ZOEY! ARE THEY FINALLY INTERACTING?!? I feel like we got lots of time to define Zoey's character, so I wonder if we'll see Teo showing more of his crush
DUDE THESE COMICS ARE SO COOL LOOK AT MY BABY GO 😍😍😍
Lol Mat dedicated two whole pages to Zoey and Zian, sweetie you're no subtle, it saves you only your shyness 🥰🥰
AWW HE WANTS TO TALK TO HER 💕
I know that he got a crush and obviously that's a major reason, but I really like how it's so simple. Mateo thinks she is really cool, she wants to talk to her. He really reminds me of me a lot 😅
Ah, the whole important milestone for every artist in school: having the courage to show his art to someone else
So not even Coop saw these comics? Only Izzie did? Interesting...
Logan is up to stuff apparently?
LOL we're finally seeing other professors aside from prof Oz and that one jerk coach! Interesting change from sensei Wu from Ninjago and sir Brickland from Nexo Knights, she seems nice
LOGAN IS BACK IN OUR TEAM?!?! 😍
Awww, he did have a bit of a change of heart! Did he realize Mateo is actually kinda great at leading and wants in? Or just really likes the team? Whatever the reason, welcome back mah dude! 💪💪
Gotta say that Izzie got great instinct, whenever something is wrong she feels it right away, so I'd trust her about this Insomniac Club
... or maybe it's a bunch of people playing Spyro or Ratchet and Clank, who knows 😂
Noooo stealing is a bad idea
NOOOO STEALING IS A BAD IDEA
Vincent's characters are quite different from each other, but they do have a common pattern: they make some pretty amazingly bad decisions 😂😂
TEO NO DON'T AGREE 😱
My baby got confidence only in the Dream World while not in the real world COME ON SWEETIE YOU CAN DO IT
Oh so we are using that locator thingie! It seemed very useful when they found it in the Night Bureau, even though the discarded it so easily
Is that thing not enough to find the Sandman? I guess not?
LOOK AT THE SCHOOL 😂
ZOEY IS THERE 👏👏👏👏👏
"Hey broseph, que pasa?" I just love these little spanish snippets, love to see some rep, especially in a LEGO show!
DUDE WHAT IS THIS COACH DREAMING
Interesting this aspect of this world, I thought that dreams were just the people landing on these realms and exploring, but I wonder if these worlds change according to the influence of the person dreaming
Julia seems like a very sweet lady... unfortunately she teaches math, therefore making her the evil incarnate 😡
I hate math sorry miss school memories
LOOK AT Z BLOB PUSHING MATEO I LOVE HIM SO MUUUUUUCH 💚💚💚💚
Zoey playing the guitar 😍 Well she has always showed she was a musical person, between the song and recognizing music notes in the seashell message, I didn't realize to which extent! It fits her
Is the Rad Radioactive some sort of narrative about drinking junk stuff before going to sleep? 😂😂
I... did not expect the Nightmare King to straight up say "dude-bro" 🤣
Awww, is Logan becoming self-conscious over causing so many troubles? I realize I've been very against him in the past but in retrospect, that must have been tough
Hey Nightmare Kin- I mean, Lance
Dude you're seriously using his insecurities against him? HE IS A KID DANG IT
I LOVE MATEO SO MUCH I CAN'T EVEN I SWEAR 😭😭😭😭😭 We got so many wonderful protagonists in the past but all with ego, with confidence, with inner strength, which is great. Then there's this kid who struggles so much into the real world, he's self-conscious about his art, he can't even talk to the girl he's into and he feels so little about himself
THIS KID WILL LEARN THAT ONE STEP AT THE TIME YOU CAN GET EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AND I'M ALL HERE FOR IT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Also can I just say, love me a guy who thinks his girl is the coolest person ever 👌👌
Fun fact, in the English dub Mateo says "T-That was amazing! Your song, I mean...", while in the Italian dub he says "Beautiful, amazing... your song!". It makes his feelings even clearer 💕
WELL HELLO MORE ANGST FOR ZOEY? Gotta be honest I did think that the song debacle was a big weak, but I didn't think there was a whole thing about losing everything, included a best friend! My poor super cool girl 😢😢😢
... is... is Zian the best friend? Did the Night Hunter hit the best friend, making it a night terror, but managed to break free and now he looks like this?
HEADCANON MOMENT DON'T MIND ME JUST HAVING A BLAST 😍
Now I get why Zoey was adamant over Izzie not calling her her friend... but I think this group is making her change her mind 💕
Logan, sweetie, why did you think rapping was a good idea? 😅
Okay, new theory... what if Ms. Castillo is Lunia? Maybe when defeated, Lunia retreated into the Waking World and stayed there. She seems to be always there to help, I kinda think it could be true
PLAN TIME WITH MATEO- Logan no stop what are you doing- DROP THE MATTIE NICKNAME DANG IT HE DOESN'T LIKE IT
I know you're trying but come on
I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING BUT STOP
YEEEEEE ZOEYYYYYYYY 😍😍
"That's what friends are for, right?" I'm super happy for her but also I love that Mateo is not smiling, he looks genuinely shocked like "DID I MANAGE NOT TO MESS IT UP?!" 😂😂
THERE'S A FROG TAXIE 😵💫
Julia seems like another stressed character, she just wants to play her music and relax for once in her life... yeah, she teaches math, that's understandable
Okay, see, Castillo is the first one to clap! I feel like she knows more than what she lets on and after my experience throught Ninjago and master "there's something I should've told you" Wu, I don't trust old LEGO people not to know stuff
They got the answers... still bad idea 😅
LOOK AT THAT EXCHANGE OF LOOKS THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO TALK ZOEY KNOWS NOW THAT HE WANTS TO BE HER FRIEND AND STRUGGLES WITH TALKING AND OMG LOOK AT HOW SHE LOOKS AT HIM WHILE HE WALKS TO HIS DESK SHE LOOKS HAPPY AND I BELIEVE GRATEFUL AAAAAAA- 🥰😍🥰🥰😍🥰🥰
Yes I might be shipping them, we'll see what happens but so far I like what I see 🥰🥰
Ah, so the answers were useless I see
And Teo knows they screwed up, alright that's nice that he didn't loose his integrity over something like this 👌👌
Okay but did all the other people hyped up the Destroyers the entire episode to troll them or because they actually fear them? Just how mean are these middle school students, seriously 😅
Yeah Teo needs to train, my son sucks at sports just like moi 😅😅
Nice to see Cooper is not letting Logan off the hook on this one! And still Teo is kind enough to apologize for being hard on him... even though he had rights for it 😅😅
Noooo Logan don't do something stupid
Logan??
LOGAN????
ONLY TWO EPISODES LEFT AND OMG I'M LIKING THEM MORE AND MORE 😍😍😍

2, 9 and 10 for the ask game?
This gonna be long 0-0
I mean it, it's long
2. In a new year of highschool, we were all new kids in a new class, and I knew this person that really wanted to befriend me, and I was cool with that :) in the same period, me and my besties were obsessed with sending each other dumb horoscope-shit to laugh at it (those "serious girly posts", like "demon or angel?" and the zodiac signs under that). To laugh, I've make them see one of those posts too, and they said "the only zodiac that matters to me is this one" and pulled off an image of Eridan. And it was the biggest fucking deja vu that I've ever had in my entire life. I was thrown back in my first ages on the web, when I still was fatiguing A LOT with english. I've seen those blob-shits before :0
One night, since I've already finished all the matsucest fics to read on Ao3 and had nothing to do, I've decided to start 'Home suck' (yes, I've spelled it like that). And I've was very confused at first, like "where are the gray thingies? Oh shoot, these kids are funny", so I continued.
9. My heart says that the best characters overall are John, Sollux and Roxy, my heart says Karkat (pre-act6).
I've always been attracted by "normal people"; like, those regular guys/girls that simply are ok and funny and good to be around, so I absolutely love John, who is simple but still has its depth and realism (also everyone says that I look just like him soooooo).
Sollux, on the other hand, is my baby, the thing that I want to protect from everyone and torture as bad as possible at the same time. He's a good person (/troll), genuinely. I see myself a lot in him and his struggles, but mostly I really love how unselfish he is, despite how he can kind of act like an asshole. Characters with strong moral compass always have my heart!
Roxy is funny and unselfish and caring, but more than anything I love her arc. She had problems, many, and she was able to overcome them alone, find her happiness after all the shit life threw at her. She's a good person and a good character. I'd love her IRL too.
Karkat cuz he's a fucking angry freak and it's basically me.
10. I don't have many characters I don't like (if we don't count how act6 ruined pre-established characters). If we count that, I despise Karkat, Dave and Aradia (or mostly how fans still portrait her DESPITE how she changed in act6).
If we don't count that, I hate the Dancestors. Mostly because I was disappointed when I've reached that part.
I remember reading posts about Mituna, and I was so fucking excited to read about his story, see it, see how truly offensive he was. And I was very fucking disappointed. He doesn't count shit in the story (despite everything he did for his session), he's barely a character, he's not even well offensive. It's like how Eminem tried to offend Gen Z, I swear. Blant and shitty.
Don't get me started on Horuss and Latula. I regularly forget their names and I gen have to search "Homestuck Zahhak/Pyrope" on google to read their names. If Equius and Terezi didn't exist I'd forget their last names too.
Also, I was writing an AU, and I had to read on the fucking wiki why Aranea stole the ring of life and did that chaos cuz I gen forgot that too.
Worst characters ever. I love only the versions of them that I have in my brain (and not everyone neither).

The Dark Picture ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Operation Drawcia Pt.29 ~
*On a military aircraft*
Andy : Okay...guys. This is our big fight! Get ready! We're gonna fight together in end, alright new recruits of Orange Star! Let's give it all of your all!
Orange Star Crew : YOSHAAAA!!!
Max : [To Sami] Hope you're ready, Sami. Feeling better already?
Sami : Yeah, I'm already better. [Looks at Eagle's Knife]
Max : I heard the DWMA is really cooked, cooked to be finished!
Andy : They're gonna have their pants on fire for real, I am feeling a little sorry about those guys. Guess they're no longer the peacekeeping forces, Drawcia all had this planned out.
Max : That's really a good thing too, Andy.
Sami : [To Andy and Max] Since you two done any favors against Black Comet, how about a nice victory meal on the way home?
Andy : [Thumbs up] Sure!
[On the Way Back by Tomoko Sasaki]
"You know, It's not always being a lone when you have friends on your side."
"But since that tragic event we witnessed, Eagle and I have finally part ways for our official discharge by that witch, never to return to that haunted memory again."
"However, I kept Eagle's promise to whatever that I have to cherish, that's when he had the chance to grant his last wish, and my promise will be safer from now on."
"I can't wait, to feel free in a peaceful life to fulfilled."
Sami : [referring] ....Eagle. [puts away knife in sheath]
Andy : Hey, Sami. Since we're a not too obnoxious about the Blob monster that Black Comet was developing, maybe we can really retire or have ourselves a major advantage to Green Earth's treaty with us, a beach party.
Max : Sounds like a great idea! Just doing some repairs can get the job done, being a Nintendo veteran is not always that easy.
Andy : I'm sure that the members of the Black Comet Army are dead by now, since they are developing weapons on creating a blob thingy, but man Eagle sure did take his sweet time getting into knowing you alot. [To Sami, elbows her softly] I bet that's your secret promise wasn't it, eh, Sami?
Sami : [blushes] Andy...Now's not the time to make me blush. I get a little nervous when you say his name.
Andy : And yet, you seemed kinda interesting him.
Sami : Yeah, I know. That's why he saved me in the first place, But it's good that throws a good a punch, you know. It's kinda really harsh what hardships in the real world that the DWMA has to offer, guess were the only peacekeeping forces that Nintendo offered us to the real world. Would that be an arrange?
Max : Could be. It's all up to you, Sami. You still got that super power of yours, your Victory March shall lead us into a brighter future to the real world.
Sami : Hai!
Andy : Once we land thing lands, we can finally get ourselves a nice--
*Demon Roaring loudly+rumbling*
[the trio cover their ears]
Andy, Max, and Sami : AAAAAAH!!!
Max : Hey! What's with all that monstrous noise!? And what's with the aircraft shaking!?
Andy : Hey, what's going? What's the shakedown? Is it a storm or something?
Sami : Oh no, a demon is here! It knows that we're here!
Andy & Max : SAY WHAT NOW!?
[Cues Critical Moment of Contra by Akira Yamaoka]
Max : Why didn't you tell us that before we're taken off, Sami? Wait, you mean the Demon knows our movements?
Andy : Well, that can't be good. Since Death Weapon Meister Academy is handling with Demons made of Ink, how are we supposed to know that?
*Demon Roaring Loudly+rumbling*
Sami : Ngh! That demon's cry is sure strong as hell, but why's roaring so loudly, it never happened like this before
Demon (?) : SAAAAMIIIIII!!!
Sami : *gasp in shock* [Determined] Guys...We have to get off this aircraft. I can feel a presence coming from somewhere and I know who it is. Guys, quickly! Grab your things and get in contact--
*demon roaring loudly+rumbling*
Demon (?) : SAMIIIII!!!
Andy : [To Sami] What did the demon say? Did that creature just heard us calling your name?
Sami : [realizing] Wait a minute. I just realize who that demon really is.
Andy : Who's the demon and why does say your name?
Max : Yeah, who's the demon that is out to get us since the DWMA is Plum Loco!?
Sami : Demon...calling my name...Demon crying out my name. [holds chest after heartbeat is echoed] My heart! It's beating!
Andy : Sami! Pull yourself together! Pull yourself together before that demon will--*demon roaring*
Max : Oh no! We ain't sinking in this one, because...
Andy, Max, and Sami : [together] WE'RE GONNA CRASH LAAAAAAND!!!
*DBZ SFX : LOUD EXLPLOSION+BOOMING*
"Gomenesai...Eagle-san."
"Our promise will have to wait for another time."
"I couldn't see you if you were here to see me, I would've make it just to slowly die alone...Please, Eagle."
"I hope that you would forgive me easily."
"Sami...Sami...Wake up....Sami, what are you doing?"
"Sami...Rise up and don't give in yourself."
"Remember, you are a warrior, you have a heart to fulfill..."
"That is our promise"
Sami : E...Eagle? E-Eagle is that you? [Sami gets up after being unconscious] Eagle!....What happened? How did we get ourselves to safety? Did we hurt ourselves, or how did we even survive?
Andy : It appears that we've somehow survived the crashed, but that demon however had a powerful cry that gave us a massive shock as our aircraft crashed landed.
Max : Apparently, all of our Orange Star Soldiers are dead beyond the crashed aircraft.
Sami : Everybody's dead? How can you say that, Max? We can't sense that everyone in the aircraft is alive. But if so, I'm sure that intel of Orange Star that our COs will be a-okay...? (gasps in horror) No...It can't be...
[Echo Night - Beyond OST : Track 09]
Sami : (in horror) ...The army.
Andy : What's wrong, Sami? You hit your head or something? I was wondering if you that lucky...of seeing things that are very... interesting...
(showing the crashed aircraft)
Andy : Orange Star. They...They are all dead, dead and we're the ones only standing still! How...How can this happened?
Max : What a bomber. There were men in that aircraft, how can that be possible?
Sami : The demon's cry was the cause of the aircraft's crash, but it did really made a huge mess back there, I wonder if there's anybody left?
Max : You sure? Well, I do believe that we're all right, nothing's a big shot about surviving a crash like we were some kind of marooned group on a marooned world.
Andy : Survival guide. Survival is the only way, if only we could discovered on how did we managed to survive a crash.
Sami : Come on, let's go investigating the surrounding areas. Check any of your current positions, I'm sure that they'll be survivors that came out of the crash. We've got to figured out what caused that crash. All our comrades, all the water, Gone...Oh wait, we have food and supplies for our survival, you got all the stuff, right?
Andy : [To Sami] Ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
Green Army Soldier : Hey! Who's voice is that down there?
Sami : It's must be Black Comet, I won't forgive them for what they've done to me! So don't mess with this Orange Star Girl! Baka...[about to shoot at in the fog]
Green Army Soldier : Hey! Hey! Hold your fire!
Andy : Sami, I don't think that's--
[Echo Night - Beyond OST : Track 2]
Sami : (gasps with a sudden realization) Green Earth.
Green Earth Army Soldier : Orange Star.
Sami : G...Gomen! (bows to apologies) I didn't realize that it was you.
Green Earth Army Soldier : Thank goodness, you have arrived.
Andy and Max : What is going on here?
Green Earth Army Soldier : Are you Orange Star COs, the only survivors of that crash?
Andy : Sir! Yes sir! I am Andy, this is Max, and over here is Special Forces commander Sami.
Sami : So what happened here? How did we brought ourselves into this mess?
Green Earth Army Soldier : When we begin our departure, I believe that something happened to the Green Earth Army COs, the members of Green Earth thought to have survive, but for our leader, Commander. He was screaming "Sami" as a distant plea for help.
Sami : But I did heard someone calling my name, that intense shock and roaring sound was the demon...it was demon's cry that caused our aircraft to crash.
Green Earth Army Soldier : So did we.
Sami : Huh? What do you mean "we"?
Green Earth Army Soldier : It's a long story. We managed to escape that crash, but we somehow...lost something very important to us.
Sami : (in shock)Ah...!? What the...?
(it's revealed that the Green Earth Soldier is a Ghost)
Sami : (in horror) Y...Yada...Are you...Dead?
(Andy and Max freaks out)
Andy : TH-TH-THAT GUY! HE'S BEEN TURNED INTO A GHOST!
Green Earth Army Soldier : We we're supposed to die, but I am still standing here, something must've happened to our faction when Commander felt into a terrible transformation of becoming a demon, but how are we supposed to think about passing on. Good thing, we we're still in tact with Drake and Jess, but for Eagle...
Sami : Eagle...Are you telling someone that Eagle isn't around somewhere...Please...I know about eagle, he was one of your men and I knew him as well! (sees box-like host radio) What's this?
Green Earth Army Soldier : This is something when we were communicating our units, it broke before I had the chance to communicate with Drake and Jess, I'm sure that those two almost survived, but they'll get to fix it, please...I want you to find Eagle, he's somewhere around this specific area. But I must warn, you three, beware of the Shadows, you have to use the power of light survive, but are you sure that you wanted to do it?
Sami : Sir. Yes, sir.
Green Earth Army Soldier : Then good luck out there, Orange Star. But I must warn, look out for the shadows they can really intrusive, but watch out for them, they'll drag you into the darkness.
Sami : Sir! Yes sir!
Nell via Radio : Andy, Max, Sami. Are you guys alright?
Sami : Nell? Orange Star CO Nell, thank goodness that we are alright.
[Echo Night - Beyond OST : Track 20]
Sensei via Radio : Andy, my boy! Looks like you finally managed to survive the incident!
Andy : Huh? S-Sensei?
Sensei via Radio : I never thought that you two would survive the crash, congratulations on your training for bravery!
Andy : Yeah, we're lucky that we are alright.
Sami : Sensei! Did you heard about that Demon's cry?
Sensei via Radio : Yes, I heard that before. I believe that demon was the monstrous transformation of that Green Earth CO that was somehow corrupted, but we found out that there's only two Green Earth Army COs, they luckily survived after their departure.
Sami : Sensei, do you believe that Eagle is alright?
Sensei via Radio : Affirmative. But I don't know if he's okay, that man has his gratitude for a strong girl like you.
Sami : [blushes] Sensei...Don't make me go hard on myself. I only kept our promise after he saved me. So that is why I always wanted to seem him again.
Sensei via Radio : Good. Where are you guys?
Sami : We have made our way out of the crash, we're beginning to send reinforcements to find and locate the demon.
Nell via Radio : Roger that! I'll send backup to find the demon, please continue the investigation of the crash.
Sami : Copy that. We'll be best to investigate. [To Andy and Max] Come on, guys. We got back up waiting for us, let's go find Eagle together.
Andy and Max : Ma'am! Yes, ma'am!
Sami : (smiles) That's my boys. Alright then, Victory March! Let's move out!
[the trio begins to walk on their journey]
Sami : We got a lot of ways to find that demon.
Andy : I'm on it.
Max : No problemo.
Sami : Eagle...
"Don't break our promise, okay?"
"I will hopefully save you, as you saved my life..."
"That is why I wanted to fight against one's action..."
"And to make it all bloom on the battlefield once more..."
Sami : So what are we waiting for? We got a world to save in the multiverse!

SCP Scenarios: When their kids swear at them (REQUESTED)
Main Masterlist | SCP Scenarios Masterlist | My Works Masterlist | Rules | Request | Socials | My Original Post
Requested by: @Astro_KeySimp
WARNING: Swearing (sorta)
Ok so I kinda made the reader into the child since don't remember if you wanted the reader to be a child or not, so if it wasn't to your liking, then I'm sorry, but I can make a separate version on where the reader isn't the child
It kinda became more of the SCPs and doctors being dads than their reaction to their kids swearing
SCP 073 (Cain)
Cain was walking around with you since you were bored and there wasn't anything to do
Being unaware of what some of the staff were saying, ye went over to grab you some food for later in case you got hungry
Once you both went back, he watched you play with some Legos and was talking as if it was your Lego friends talking to you
Cain looked away for just 10 seconds and heard you shout out "Wow! He said that her baby's such a bi-" which shocked him as he heard it
Cain looked around and made sure that nobody was around the room and was somewhat surprised that you was the one saying this
Being a good dad he is, Cain explained to you carefuly that you shouldn't say that word because it's bad
And being a sweet shy child, you obliged and stopped saying the word
Til this day, Cain had no idea about where and who you've heard the word from and is very much more self-aware
SCP 076-2 (Abel)
Abel is that type of dad who would teach you all the bad words and encourages you to say them
It's the researchers who had to teach you top not to say those words
One time, Dr Glass came in to examine you and had rewarded you as usual since you were so cooperative
You drew a picture of you and Abel talking in a garden with bright coloured flowers
Simon asked if he could see your drawing and saw that the conversation you and your dad had was those of swearing
This surprised Simon since you knew so many at such a young age but wasn't totally shocked since he knew that you were Abel's child
And knowing him, he wouldn't teach you to be nice, so Simon took the job as a mother hen and taught you to not use those words around people
SCP 999 (Tickle Monster)
Ok, so I'll keep this SCP short since I, again, don't know what I should write for this adorable, squicky, neon-orange, bubby blob
Another SCP who doesn't cuss
This adorable squishy boi here was about to have a heart attack when he heard you swear fir the first time
He had to ask you worryingly where you heard that phrase and you just said some guy wearing a white jacket
999 sighed knowing that you'll grow and couldn't do anything to stop it
He did, however, mention that you should try and avoid saying those things to anyone and that they'd most likely have a heart attack since you were his child and you won the genetic lottery for being the cutest and outgoing child in the world
The only other person who knew of this was Dr Glass (sucks to be him ngl, he do be a mother to everyone) and he had to help poor 999 with teaching you better words
SCP 682 (Hard to Destroy Reptile)
YAY! Another SCP who would teach their kid to swear
682 has such a dirty mouth like 076 and would 100% teach you all the words he knows
Similarly to what happened with Abel, you were taken for an interview with Dr Sophia Light since she was assigned to you
She's such a sweet and kind doctor to be around and would teach you anything and everything you would probably need to know all the while keeping an eye on you in case you become overly aggressive like 682
You were just eating some sweets Lights had given you for good behaviour and overheard some researchers swear
Remembering what your dad had taught you, you just repeated those curse words while clapping at your achievement
This had shocked Sophia and that researcher since you were known to be a moderately shy and quiet child who normally wouldn't say those things despite being 682's child
Sophia had to ask if you understood the meaning of those words and shook your head as an indicator for no
She had to carefully find her words and told you to never speak of those words again and took you back to 682's cell
You went and hugged your dad and told him that you learnt from the doctor that those curse words were bad and neither of you should say them
682 had a headache after that
SCP 049 (Plague Doctor)
I have a hard time thinking that 049 would teach his child to cuss and would avoid swearing in front of them at all cost
Like, he barely swears anyways but he wants to stay classy and sassy for his innocent child
Just like the other day, his kiddo, you, was curious about the whole surgery thingy he does on the dead bodies, so you asked him to teach you and so he did (like the good father we nevah had)
So you learnt some new, yet difficult, words (cuz we all have a nonexistent pea-sized brain) and somehow, you managed to fit in a curse word
This did surprise 049 as he had remembered that he didn't teach you those foul words
He had to give you a talk about using such words and you teared up since you thought that people used them to express their affection to others
Unsurprisingly, 049 took his sweet time looking for the guy who 'taught' you this and wanted to use him as a case study for your future lessons
SCP 035 (Possessive Mask)
Another parent with such an amazing influence on children
035 would teach and enable you to use swearing as a form of expression
So you were free to say whatever you want as long as they aren't directed to our mask here, especially if it's in a negative way
Otherwise, you'd be punished (No not like that! He'll just ground you from your favourite TV show/movie)
The researchers were surprised, not about you swearing, but how you use them through expression
Except for this poor guy who was new to the foundation and bumped into you by accident
This rookie found himself listening to you cursing like a sailor (maybe not that much but more or less on the same level as Samuel L Jackson)
Word got out and everybody laughed at the poor rookie and told him more about your background and how you love to swear (apparently swearing will prolong your life, so you'll basically be immortal here)
035 was impressed by the whole ordeal and rewarded you with more shows to watch whenever you're both free
SCP 105 (Iris)
Iris would accidentally swear in front of you and whenever she realises it, she would tell you to not swear at people since it wasn't very nice
So she would use words to replace the swearing like "oh fudging hell not now" and "no sugar honey ice tea"
The foundation felt that it was slightly unnecessary but went with it anyways
They'd even go as far as saying that it's ridiculous, but who are they to judge?
Iris was your mother and she's a single mum too, so she felt the need to be overly beating but would occasionally let you decide on your own since you were only 12
The foundation members did tell her that you will eventually grow and more of these words will be used but she just hesitates
As a teen, you did begin to use foul words more often and Iris would argue about how you're using them, especially towards her, your own mother
Needless to say, you both felt bad and made up
SCP 106 (Old Man)
Now this old man right here doesn't exactly speak, or at least very rarely
And if he does, he'll most likely be talking to you or the foundation staff if he needed some help finding you
He'll most likely be able to understand what the researchers are saying, even if they aren't speaking English
My own personal hc is that 106 understands English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic and Indonesian and probably many others
Every now and again, somebody would come in and teach you new words and give other lessons like maths and poetry (our favourite)
You came back home to tell him all the things you've learnt as he watched you in awe as he braided your hair
You've even used some new phrases, including swear words while talking and 106 was pretty impressed
I feel that he's quite neutral with swear words since words are words and are used as a form of verbal communication
So I don't think they'll be much change in his behaviour to whether you're swearing or not
SCP 096 (Shy Guy)
Now with 096, all he does is scream
So basically, somebody else would have to teach you some words
It's not to say that 096 is a dumb animalistic creature with no soul and just kills people who look at his face
He isn't stupid since he manages to find anyone who looked at his face from the other side of the globe
And he seems to understand what the researchers are saying, or at least on a more intermediate to moderate level
You'll learn about swear words from the other researchers, whether they'll be teaching it to you intentionally or you've overheard them
The foundation could really care less, but would at least prefer that you chill a bit if you got carried away
096 would act all cheery when you learn more new things as it's not like the foundation would let him out anyway, so he'll be living the outside world life from you (How relatable, but more with babysitting and dating, cuz I'm too pretty for anyone to date XD)
Like with 106, I don't think 096 would have any special reaction towards swearing, but would probably be screaming internally for a bit since he knows that it isn't a nice word
Dr Jack bright
This mf right here is one of those parents who would be kind but firm
Bright would most definitely give in to your curiosity and teach you whatever you want to learn but would warn you of the dangers
Depending on what it is, he would even go as far as giving you your own personal guard who would stay with you and train you
And unfortunately, this guard has such a foul mouth, so you're constantly exposed to such words
Luckily for the both of you, Jack Bright doesn't really care about swearing as long as you're not being extremely inappropriate if you were to work
He would even joke around with you sometimes and would even start the conversation with swearing
For instance, he'd just surprise you with a "Yeet his mf outta my sheithole"
And yes, you did laugh at his antics
Some would even say that you're an exact clone of him but more stable (for now)
Well, Bright is an amazing dad, but I'd say just below Dr Glass
Or maybe even on par with him
Like Bright is a goofy dad that has all the terrible dad jokes and Glass would be the type of dad to look out for his kid
Dr Simon Glass
Dr Glass would most definitely avoid using swear words, especially if you were under 15
Even if you were over 15, he'd still avoid swearing unless he wants to make a joke or 2
So most of the time, you'd learn all the swearing from other people and SCPs
Sometimes you would swear by accident and Glass would just look at you, slightly disappointed
I'd say he doesn't exactly care about you swearing per see, but would rather you avoid it
It's cuz Simon is the best dad a dad could ever dad and nobody could prove me wrong here
He's also one of the top best dads compared to the others on the list
He's basically your best friend so he'd let you vent and its the 1 time he'd let you swear to show your emotions
Simon would 100% know your thoughts and behaviour
He's just that good at reading people, especially you - almost to the point where people would say he's an SCP cuz I swear he's just empathic and telepathic
As mentioned before, Glass would be the type of dad to care for your mental health
It's not that the others don't, it's just that Glass is a top their God of Psychology and would come to you before you even know you have depression
He would even crack a joke sometimes
So every so often, he would shout out "LANGUAGE!!!" from across the room before you could even bat an eye and say anything
Dr Alto Clef
Another top tier dad, but swearing addition
Your godfather would literally be Jack Bright
Then it's Kondraki and Glass
He would let you swear on a daily basis and would join you
Sometimes you be looking at your Oppas/Noonas and be like: "Oh fxxk me!" and Clef, who's in the next room, be like: "Yeah, fxxk me too!" (Yes but no sis! No incest pls!)
Other times, you would be in the same room as Clef and Bright and you'd join them in being chaotic
And poor Kondraki is just there at the back trying to do his work peacefully
One time, Kondraki had to grab a Simon Glass to help stop the chaotic trio
And OML did it end so well
You were easy to manage tbh, with the exception of you swearing
Clef and Bright would most definitely encourage you to swear more
Especially Clef since he does have a twisted sense of humour
Dr Benjamin Kondraki
Kondraki is totally the type of person who would tell their kid to mind their own language
But he secretly doesn't care and his child knows it
His style of parenting is similar to Simon's
And yes, Simon is your #1 godfather/uncle
You'd go to him for emotional support since Kondraki sucks at that
Sometimes you'd swear at him and he'd get mad though
So yeah, running to Glass is a wonderful idea
And we all know that Kondraki doesn't mean what he said
He's just extremely introverted, but he's rather sensible - Usually...
Anyways, he would ask Simon on tips and advice on how to get you to stop swearing so much and he just gave Benjamin a parenting book (Like fr guys, let Glass have some rest, he's tired of babysitting over 100 dozens of pets in the zoo and all the other babies who work in it)

Playing With Fire
While playing a perfectly innocent video game you get thrown into a dangerous world on the brink of incineration! At least you’re surrounded by a bunch of hot people. If nothing else you can shower them with copious, well earned affection.
You come awake with a start.
Everything is just a little off kilter. Like your eyes aren’t focused or you're wearing someone else's glasses. It takes you a few long minutes to realize that you’re staring down at a piece of paper.
It’s listed one through eight, with a check box next to each number.
At the top you see ‘Company Preference List’, and beneath that is your name scrawled in your own handwriting. But, when did you write it? And what was the list? You look up to find yourself in a library, surrounded by a bunch of other people all dressed in orange uniforms. You look down and find yourself in the same one. You recognize it as the Fire Force boiler suits.
You touch your cheek slowly. Then poke the corner of your eyes. You’re not wearing your VR visor. And you’re not holding handles either. Are you hallucinating? You were playing the game, in the middle of some side quest. Did the game reset? This looked like a scene from the start of the game. It followed the beginning of the series, but through the eyes of a random side character researching Haijima on their own. There was some kind of revenge plot and a lot of stuff about their big sister, but you hadn’t gotten to the full reveal of the tragic back story yet. They interacted with the main characters plenty, but mostly they spent their time in their own squad, the fourth.
You were halfway through the game, and now you were back at the start?
You look around for something to tell you what’s going on. You try to poke the menu button, but you’re not holding controllers. So all you really end up doing is poking the air between your hands with your thumbs. You’re starting to panic, when something shiny catches your attention.
When did you get that ring?
Plain silver on your forefinger. You poke it and gasp when the world shifts minutely.
A flicker of fire, a figure dark against the light. It warps in and out of your vision in a split second.
Right. Tragic back story.
The ring was from their (your?) older sister. Now disappeared a-la-infernal fire. You were like the reverse Shinra.
Wait.
Shinra.
Your head snapped around quickly from one person to the other. Most of them were boring background characters. No, no, no. Boring. Lame. Basically grey blobs.
Were you going crazy and you couldn’t even enjoy it?!
“Uh, hey? Are you okay?”
Your head snaps sideways to find bright red eyes peering at you in concern.
Red eyes. Black hair.
You stare hard at him until the corners of his mouth start to twitch and curl upwards.
“H-hey. Why are you staring at me?”
Abruptly you reach over and cup his cheeks. His face is hot beneath your hands. You can touch him. You can feel the heat of his skin. He’s blushing something fierce.
“You are… adorable,” you declare.
He turns bright red and squeaks at you until you finally let him go.
“What?!”
“Did I stutter?” you prop your chin in your hand and look him over. Yep. Definitely cute. You just wanna squeeze him. But, you should probably do other things first. Like figure out what exactly is going on.
Not that you can come outta the gate with ‘hey I was playing a video game and now I’m stuck in it, also I thought you weren’t real? What gives yo?’
Even you aren’t that impulsive.
Actually, in real live you’re not very impulsive at all. That was what made games so fun, especially open world ones where you could do basically whatever you wanted. IRL you were more withdrawn than anything, even when you wanted to be social.
Now… You could be whoever you wanted, right?
Did you even have to follow the plot? Could you put a preference for another company and go there? Or would you still end up in the forth? And what about your abilities? In the game you’d had a choice at the beginning between a second gen ability and two third gen powers. You’d ended up picking at random, since they all seemed cool and you hadn’t been very far into the anime yet at the time.
How would you even use those powers here, assuming that you could?
“Sorry, I was spacing out,” you finally said, “What were you saying?”
“Oh uh,” Shinra looked away, his grin still pulling at his face. “I was just asking if you were okay. You were looking at the form for so long, but whenever you talked about joining a company before you always said you would go to the fourth. Not that we talk a lot, so I wouldn’t know if you wanted to go to the fifth or the sixth or the seventh or-”
“Babe, you’re rambling,” you cut in, starting to smile yourself. Even though you’re beyond confused something about Shinra puts you at ease. Everything about him seems so… warm. And yeah, the smile could be off putting. If it wasn’t so damn adorable.
“O-oh!” aaaand he was blushing again.
You look down at the paper, your brows furrowing. What are you even supposed to say to this?
“I dunno,” you said at last, “I guess I was reconsidering. There’s a lot of companies, and a lot of options out there. I might end up going a totally different path if it’s not too late… What about you?”
“Me? Well I didn’t really have a particular preference, but I heard that they’re trying to send more people to the eighth this year. Since its such a new company, and so small.”
“Mmmm. That’s true. Maybe I’ll go there,” you muse. It would put you smack in the middle of all the action, and you could see the sweet Iris, and the too-hot-to-be-fair Maki. You could stay with adorable Shinra and the well meaning dumbass that was Arthur. Not to mention the two guys in charge. If you could get Obi to bench press you-
Nope! Bad! Focus on the task at hand. No thirsting over captains right now!
“I was thinking the same thing,” Shinra admitted, looking down at his own paper.
“Yeah? I guess such a small company would make it easy for you to stand out and come a hero, right?”
Shinra looked startled. You offered him a sweet smile and turned back to your paper and picked up your pen.
You marked your preferences.
Eighth, seventh, fourth, second, fifth, sixth, third, first.
“The eighth and the seventh?” Shinra asked, peaking over at your sheet.
You shot him a grin. “They both sound like fun to me. Hey, Shinra?”
“Yeah?”
Your grin grows wider. “Let’s both do our best, and save lots of people okay?”
Shinra’s smile is small, but true.
“Okay.”
You bump your fist to his to seal the deal.
~
It had taken you a couple of tries to find your dorm room.
Your body seemed like it knew what it was doing, even if your mind didn’t. You had to explain away your frazzled state to the woman in charge of your wing, a nun who’s name you couldn’t recall to save your life, as nerves. She had looked dubious, but hadn’t questioned you when she pointed you to your room.
Probably thinks I’m hung over, you thought as you stepped inside. If I didn’t know better I’d think I was drunk enough to hallucinate. But it’s all way too real. Just what happened? One second I was playing the game, and then my phone went off, and then it was all dark. After that I was in the library.
It was making your head hurt thinking about it.
You poked around the room. If you remembered right you’d had a roommate, but she’d already been assigned her company a week early. Her dad was some top brass in the military, so off to the second company she went,
You made sure the door was locked before you started riffling through your things.
Books, papers, clothes. Personal items.
You had a collection of antique keys for some reason, and a blanket shaped like a tortilla that was warmer than most space heaters. There was an old lighter with a hawk engraved on it in one drawer. When you touched it you got the sudden smell of pipe tobacco and a man laughing far in the back of your mind before it was gone. Just like when you touched the ring earlier.
Memories that weren’t yours. You had stepped into someone else's life.
When you looked in the mirror you found the face that your had designed for your character staring back at you. There was a thin ring of white in your eyes, cutting through their color and marking you as a pyrokinetic.
Shit. Each of those abilities had a different eye. Which one was the circle? There was a circle, a pointy cross, and teardrop because the designer was some edgelord. Which power does this mean I have? Wings? Magnet sand? Or the spear torch thingy?
You wished this could have been more like Fate/Grand Order. Then you would just have to keep track of your teams abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Not your own.
Fuck.
You spend a long time in your room, packing up all of your belongings. None of them really belong to you. They belong to your character, and they’re only familiar in the sense that you’ve thrown them over your shoulder when you were looking for something specific before. Only now if you throw them they won’t puff back to where they were before eventually. You’ll actually have to put this stuff away.
Damn it, you’ve never liked packing.
Still, you carefully rolled your new found clothes into baggage burritos. They were pretty plain, all in all. Oh well. You could make adjustments later if you really wanted to. Was it a game mechanic you haven't unlocked? Full customization? You could pick gender and hair, and the eyes depended on your pyrokinesis. Maybe at some point you got to change clothes too.
You’d figure it out.
You hoped.
Your head was still reeling the with the idea of what was going on, but for now, with nothing else you really could do, you decided to go with it.
Once you had everything all packed up you left your room to do some exploring. You tried to keep track of where you were going in the big fire station/training academy, but before long you were hopelessly lost.
You stumbled upon a training room, where a familiar boy with a dorky pony tail was slashing a glowing blue sword through a training dummy. The poor dummy fell to the floor in pieces.
You watched him for a few minutes before he noticed you.
“Oh,” he said, “It’s you.”
Which was… pretty lame, if you’re being honest.
What, did you one pop his delusional bubble?
“Yep,” you popped your ‘p’, “It’s a-me.” Mario. “What did that guy ever do to you? Try to challenge the great Knight King Arthur on a troll bridge?” you meant it to be a joke, but Arthur actually lit up.
“Hardly! This was merely training. A Knight King must always be ready to defend his people!”
“Of course,” you nodded along, playing with him. “And soon you’ll be embarking on a great quest to your new company, right? Do you know which one?”
“I didn’t bother with those silly preference sheets. Let whichever company requires a knight most vie for my presence.”
You were honestly impressed Arthur even knew the word ‘vie’. Wasn’t he kind of a loon?
“Mhmm, mhmm, I see,” you nodded seriously. “Then in case, I might see you in my own company.”
You wanted to ask him to spar, if only to see Excalibur in action more, but you still weren’t sure what your power was or how to use it. So you ended up bowing out.
It took you another hour to find your way back to your room.
Whoops.
You don’t really sleep. You lay down and try to wake up, and hope that come morning you’ll be back in your living room with a vr stapped to your head and this whole thing will have been a (not so terrible) dream.
Keep Dreaming.

A3! Boys + My Stuffed Animals
Spring Troupe:
Sakuya
Gabriel
Gabriel is a small elephant with big ears that constantly make him fall over. He has a pink bowtie that says 'I Love You'
Makes Saku feel safe and Gabriel is a reminder to himself that he's loved and appreciated by everyone at Mankai.
Named after a friend from theatre class :)
Masumi
George Washington
George Washington is a tiger. He is small, but his arms are like those slap bracelets so you can wear him on your wrist (or let him hang on the side of shelf like I do).
So I got Georgy-Boy for easter 2020. i asked my friends for name ideas. They sent me stuff like 'Stripes'. I went offline for a few minutes and when I came back online I told my friends his name was George Washington.
//////////
Me: tiger has a name now
Friend: which name did you choose?
Me: his name is George Washington.
Friend: what the fuck. how'd you get George Washington?
//////////
Pretty sure he got the name bc I was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack.
Citron
Daniel
Daniel is mostly pink but has other pastel colors that look like watercolors. He's a unicorn. And a ketchain. And he's one of those dream lites, so he lights up. (He's supposed too anyway, but he's never lit up since i got him like 7 years ago at a yard sale).
Named after Daniel Howell (formerly danisnotonfire) [YouTube]
Tsuzuru
Lucifer
Lucifer is a small panda pillow pet. Very easy to travel with bc he fits in most backpacks.
My mom told me she wanted me to have a stuffed animal with a biblical name, i picked him up, looked her in the eye and said "His name is Lucifer." My mom tried to protest. "You said a biblical name, Mom. Lucifer is in the bible."
Itaru
Pao(???)
Pao is a panda. They are also a phone holder thingy. Like it'll hold your phone if you're watching movies or whatever.
Like 5-ish years old. Got them from a friend. They have a tag with their name on it, but I read it once and then just called them "the panda" for some reason instead of their actual name and now the tag is too faded to read the name, but i am 38% sure it says Pao or something close to that.
Chikage
Tsuki
Tsuki is a dinosaur. Tsuki is a sparkly dino. He's green rn, but if you brush your hand over him, the sparkles turn over and he becomes orange. I like green tho bc his tummy and the bottom of his feet are orange and so are his eyes.
Named after Tsukishima Kei (Haikyuu)
Summer Troupe:
Tenma
Hinata
Hinata is a narwhal. A bright orange narwhal. Infact he is the same color as Tenma's hair.
Named after Hinata Shoyo (Haikyuu) [bc its the same color as his hair. there is a theme with this narwhal and the anime boys i associate with them]
Yuki
Steve
Steve is a regular teddy bear, except he has a shirt that has pikachu on it. (the shirt was originally Tsuki's bc i got tsuki at a friends build a bear bday party, but it fits Steve better)
I just think Yuki would try new designs/color schemes/styles by making clothes for Steve to see how they look.
I got Steve from a claw machine (my bf at time won him for me just before we watched Endgame together.)
Named after Steve Rogers (Marvel)
Muku
Eeyore
Muku most definitely loves the Winnie the Pooh movies and I will fite for this hc. He gets my Eeyore. You know how Eeyore's tail is always going missing or falling off??? Eeyore's tail comes off (velcro) but its attached to his actual body with a string so it cant be misplaced.
Eeyore has a patch that says "official disney store" but i got him for $3 at a thrift store.
Misumi
Sherlock
Sherlock is a polar bear. Sherlock is very huggable. He makes Misumi feel safe. He has a hat and scarf (that don't come off. they are sewn on him)
the hat has a pom pom on top and the scarf has a pom pom on each end. the hat and scarf and the bottom of his feet have a blue/white plaid pattern.
Kazunari
Victor
Victor is a puppy and the first big stuffed animal of mine on the list! He's all tan and abt maybe 3-4 ft long. Victor lays pretty flat so he's comfy to lay/sit on. I think Kazu would like sitting or laying on him when drawing. Probably has him on his bed so he's like a giant pillow.
Victor is from Toys R Us. I got him last August-ish from my Aunt and Uncle who found him at a thrift store and thought I'd like him.
Named after Victor Nikiforov (Yuri On Ice)
Kumon
PJ
PJ is a small white tiger. He is also a ball. He can fit in one hand. When Kumon is thinking or stressed or bored (etc) he just lays on his back and tosses PJ up into the air.
When Kumon is laying on the floor tossing PJ, Misumi sits on the bed closest to where PJ is and tries to grab him (but only if Kumon is in a good mood and okay with it) It's a fun little game they made up they like to play.
Pretty sure he was named after KickthePJ (YouTube)
liber pls give us a pic with all of autumn i am begging
Autumn Troupe:
Banri
Sammy
Sammy is another one of my large stuffed animals. He is also a puppy, but unlike Victor he is sitting instead of laying. He's abt 2-3 ft tall. His fur is the same color as Banri's hair. Great to squeeze at anytime, but very therapeutic when you're in a bad mood. Has a heart on his ear.
i got him abt 7 years ago. I had just finished spn season 2 and was upset abt the finale and had no way to start season 3.
Named after Sam Winchester
Juza
Tiggs
Tiggs is a beanie baby tiger. Tiggs is a little larger than PJ (and not a ball). He's a regular orange tiger instead of a white tiger like PJ. He'd buy Kumon PJ so they could have matching stuffed animals. Small and very comforting to just hold/hug.
Omi
Benedict (Ben)
Benedict, also known as Ben, is a small koala. Just a little bigger than Tiggs. He has a heart on one of his feet (i think the right one). very soft. very fluffy.
Named after Benedict Cumberbatch (Actor)
Taichi
Dean
Dean is my largest stuffed animal. He is a dark brown teddy bear that's abt 4-ish ft tall. He can be put in a corner and used as like a bean bag chair, or he can lay down flat and be a good pillow like Victor can.
It's very fun to just wrap around him and squeeze as tight as you can. Especially in when your in a bad mood. Very comforting to cry into.
I got him a couple years ago at a thrift store.
Named after Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
Sakyo
Lev
Lev is a lion abt the size of a regular teddy bear (maybe slightly larger). I got him a thrift store so he's slightly worn out from age. He's mostly a pastel dark yellow-ish tan and his mane is dark brown. very huggable.
He's the stuffed animal I sleep with. Smells nice all the time, like the fabric softener.
Named after Lev Haiba (Haikyuu)
Sakoda
Emotional Support Iron Man
So Iron Man is small and he sparkles. He will hurt you/someone if thrown hard enough. Sakoda likes heroes bc they remind him of Sakyo they look cool. I'd hc that he got Iron Man from Sakyo when he was younger and its one of his most valued possessions and goes everywhere with him (or stays with Azamo or Sakyo at the dorm. Maybe Izumi or a couple others are on the list of who can watch over Iron Man.) Very protective of it.
Got the emotional support part of his name from a friend.
She saw Eddie Redmayne on a movie cover (think it was The Danish Girl) and started freaking out bc she loved him. I handed her the Iron Man and the next day she thanked me and said he was an Emotional Support Iron Man and the name stayed.
Azami
[Emotional Support] Spooder-Mon
Sakoda knew Azami as a kid. He most definitely got him the Spider-Man so they could have matching plushies.
Spider-Man is square and has little blob hands doing the web thingy. The tag said travel pillow, but he probably just chills by Azami's bed. When needed, Iron Man will be placed next to him if Sakoda can't take Iron Man with him.
I brought him to school one day and we had a bio test and all the people sitting around me passed him around and gave him a pat for good luck. We all got good grades and then he was dubbed as Emotional Support Spooder-Mon, but the Emotional Support title isnt part of his name (unlike the Iron Man).
i wanted guy in the pic, but i also wanted tsumu and hiso in the pic so you get 2 pics for winter
Winter Troupe:
Tsumugi
Phil
Phil is a zebra. He is a pillow pet zebra. Like Lucifer, Phil is also easy travel size. The bottom half of Phil is pink, so I refer to him as my pink zebra.
I just think it'd be cute to have Tsumugi with a pillow pet ok. I also thought he'd probably have has Phil for many years (since he was a kid) and Tasuku most definitely brings up things from when they were kids and shit.
//////////
Tasuku: you chose the pink zebra, and for what???
Tsumugi: its a very aesthetically pleasing pastel pink.
Tasuku: THERE WAS A DOG PILLOW PET RIGHT THERE AND IT WAS CUTER
Tsumugi: dont talk bad abt Phil.
the rest of mankai: ????????
//////////
I got phil before I got Lucifer many years ago. He was old when i got him and he is very old now. I love him so much.
Named after Phil Lester (AmazingPhil) [YouTube]
Tasuku
Cap
Cap is a husky. He was won from a claw machine with Steve.
There's just something abt the grey and white that gave me Tasuku vibes. Also, Cap's eyes are abt the same shade of blue as Tsumugi's and Tasuku knows this bc they are in love. Very squishy when hugged and with the way he sits, you could make it look like he's guarding something.
Named after Captain America (Marvel)
Homare
Ushijima (Ushi)
Ushijima, also called Ushi, is the last of my giant stuffed animals. He is abt 2-3 ft tall (like Sammy) and has a tail abt the same length.
Ushi is a raccoon thats mostly hot pink. Ushi's eyes are also pink and just abt the same shade as Homare's hair, although Ushi's fur is brighter by a few shades.
Ushi hurts when thrown/swung hard enough. Very fun to hug bc he's filled with beans (like beanie babies) so unlike all my other giant animals, he doesn't have to be fixed/adjusted after everytime you squeeze him. The tail has cotton tho and makes a good pillow.
Homare would definitely just see a 3 ft tall hot pink raccoon and claim it with no explanation.
Named after Ushijima Wakatoshi (Haikyuu)
Hisoka
Vladmir Dracula the 3rd (Vlad, Drac)
Vladmir Dracula the 3rd, who has many other names but usually goes by Vlad or Drac, is a vampire (surprise).
Vlad is a squishmallow thingy, and their tags say something abt them being able to be used as pillows, and thats why Hisoka gets Vlad.
Vlad is triangular in shape, with triangle ears, and triangle fangs, so I thought abt Misumi, but i figured Hisoka bc it's a pillow.
He's like the perfect travel size and he has a cape and a bowtie.
Named after Vlad the Impaler, the real life inspiration behind Dracula (my brother thought he was named after Vladmir Putin and I wanted to punch him for that but I was too busy laughing.)
Also named after Dracula, who was a vampire.
Idk where 'the 3rd' came from, but it's part of his name for forever.
Azuma
Sebastian
Sebastian is a dinosaur thats blue with a white tummy.
He's also a squishmallow, but he's bigger than Vlad by abt 2× as wide, so he'd be harder to carry around, which is why Hisoka got Vlad instead. Being a squishmallow means he looks more blob than dinosaur and i love it.
His tag said his name was Dominic or something, but I named him Sebastian before I actually checked the tag, so he's Sebastian.
Named after Sebastian (Black Butler) and Sebastian Stan (Actor)
Guy
Moriarty
Moriarty is my other polar bear. I got him with Sherlock and named him Moriarty bc Moriarty is Sherlock's nemesis.
He's just a plain white bear thats very huggable and adorable. I usually have a bowtie on him bc it makes him look fancy.
Guy would like him bc he's plain white and very fluffy.

With Tommy’s revival, there’s just one thing I wish people would do for the next few days or even weeks...
Please for the love of DreamXD DO. NOT. SPAM. IT. ON. OTHER. PEOPLE’S. CHATS.
When Sam eventually does a lore stream, DON’T try to tell him to get Tommy out of the prison cell because he’s alive now. Let his character find out on his own. When Tubbo continues to do his detective work, DON’T tell him to stop because Tommy’s not dead anymore. Just help his character get to the bottom of things when he asks for help. When Ranboo does some kind of investigation or something connected to the lore, DON’T try to tell him Tommy’s alive. Let his character grieve and try to avenge his friend. When Captain Puffy, Jack Manifold, Niki Nihachu, Quackity, Eret, Foolish or any other DSMP character bring up the death of TommyInnit, DON’T tell them otherwise. Their characters don’t know that Tommy is alive yet, let them grieve in their own ways, let them act sad or happy about it, let them do their own things.
Let them have their angst arc for pete’s sake!

Dream SMP season one: Look at these funky little block men and their silly disc wars and political drama. Politics and war go brrr. Did... did you just turn a child into a president and blew up the country? Traitors and explosions be a normal occurrence, trauma fills the air.
Dream SMP season two: Oh, ghosts exist? Okay... You’re half-enderman? Pog! Oh look, he crawled back from the depths of hell? Good for him! More war crimes. Of course. You hear voices in your head? Sounds cool! Look at those weird red vine thingies, must be a bit we don’t know about yet. Exile and betrayal all over again. Lock up that green bitch, let’s gooo!
Dream SMP season three: W-wait, you’re a what? A god? Uh, resurrection? Immortal number three? Plant nymphs? Is that a mind-controlling Egg? Construction robots that may or may not have feelings? So you’re telling me, that a green blob is controlling you like a puppet? Time travelling? Huh? A new country? Another new country? Capitalism? Platonic soulmates found family? Nukes? You have nukes? Amnesiac number four? 23 feet tall totem god? Did you just say Herobrine? Is... is this still the same server????

Just A Scratch
Jamie's feeling down due to an injury he got fighting the Cybermen, so the Doctor and Zoe find an easy way to cheer him up.
on ao3.
"Ouch!"
"I did tell you not to move," the Doctor huffed, tugging aggressively at Jamie's hair with a comb.
Jamie couldn't sit still despite the Doctor's words; he never knew having your hair brushed could be so painful, "Aye well if yer' keep tugging at it so hard I'm gonnae flinch! Ouch!"
The Doctor tugged at a knot in Jamie's curly wisps, shaking his head at the boy's childishness, "Maybe if you hadn't been so thoughtless..."
"Hey now just a minute, I saved yer' life!" Jamie retorted, feeling somewhat betrayed, "If it were nae for me you'd be just a few wee ashes right now, floating 'round Cyberman territory," he pulled his head back away from the Doctor, pouting like a duck.
The Doctor shook his head again and leant down next to Jamie's ear, "You know very well I had it all under control."
"Aye but ya' said that last time and look what happened tae' the poor ol' professor!"
"Ah well yes that was rather unfortunate, but that I couldn't prevent," the Doctor groaned slightly, placing the comb down on the table and running his fingers through Jamie's hair to feel for any more knots. He'd always liked Jamie's hair, it was so soft and bounced lightly whenever he moved.
Jamie sighed and looked down at the bruises on his legs, "I guess I was a wee bit hasty..."
He sulked in the chair, going to fold his arms and whined when he realised he couldn't, "Ay for goodness sake! Doctor how long do I have to keep the blasted thing on for?"
"Well Jamie it's a cast, solid plaster. That'll be left on for quite some time I'm afraid."
Jamie's face saddened.
"You only have yourself to blame," said the Doctor, as he kissed Jamie softly on the cheek, smiling at him sweetly.
"I don' like it though,'' Jamie replied, standing up and brushing the strands of hair off his kilt. He was getting rather fed up of having a broken arm, it made him feel so useless. He couldn't do much on his own, and the Doctor had to help him with even the most basic of things like washing his hair and getting dressed. It was dreadful, and getting rather tiresome too.
He didn't regret it though, jumping in to save the Doctor like that, even if he did have a bone broken clean in half by a rather large and powerful Cyberman. After all, he'd never forgive himself if something happened to the Doctor.
"Oh, I have an idea!" The Doctor suddenly remarked, his face brightening up as if a beam of light had just hit him. He frantically looked around the room, his eyes searching for something.
"Doctor, what are yer' doing?"
"I won't be a moment Jamie," the Doctor said hastily, as he rushed out of the room unexpectedly, flustering Jamie slightly.
"What's he up to this time...?" Jamie grumbled to himself, sitting back down and sinking deeply into the brown worn cushions of the chair.
After a few minutes of boorishly waiting, the Doctor suddenly popped his head round the door frame, smiling vibrantly at Jamie, "What's your favourite colour?"
"Eh?" Jamie replied, confused.
"Oh never mind, we'll just bring them all in," he stuttered, as he and Zoe walked in clumsily, arms filled with dozens of brightly coloured felt tip pens and small tubes of glue and glitter. They lay them down on a small coffee table, pens rolling off onto the floor with a clack noise.
"Doctor, you could've at least brought a better table," Zoe huffed as she picked up all the pens hurriedly, whilst the Doctor made a small barricade with the glue tubes to keep them contained.
"What on earth is all of this?" Jamie asked, eyeing his two friends with a rather baffled look on his face.
"Can't you see Jamie?"
"Aye I can see just grand, doesn't mean I kno' what yer' doing."
"We're going to decorate your cast!" Zoe cheered, grinning like a cheshire cat from ear to ear. Oh how she loved crafty things, and it'd been so long since she last did something as fun as this. She was ecstatic, even more so than the Doctor, who was currently fiddling with a stuck pen lid like a child.
Jamie however, was still rather kerfuffled.
His eyes were scanning the pens and glitter rather aggressively, before letting out a barely audible "Huh?"
"What's wrong Jamie?" The Doctor asked, finally plucking off the pen lid and reaching over ready to doodle on Jamie's cast.
"I still don' understand."
The Doctor and Zoe exchanged glances, "Understand what?"
"Well, yer' going to draw on ma' arm thingy aren't ya'?"
The two nodded.
"Are yer' sure you can do that though? I mean, won't it cause an uh, what's it called... An infectious?"
The Doctor chuckled, "No Jamie, it won't cause an infection. It's perfectly safe!" He assured Jamie, as he drew a small heart on the edge of the plaster, "And also very fun."
Jamie took one look at the heart doodle, and suddenly his face lit up with delight, "Pass me a pen, I wan' a go!"
The Doctor passed him a blue pen, and Jamie bit the lid off before scribbling little drawings of
monsters and objects all over his cast. This was the happiest he'd been since he busted his arm, and it warmed the Doctor's hearts so very much to see his lover bright and bubbly again. Who knew that all it would take to cheer Jamie up was a few pens & some glitter?
"Aye, that's better!" Jamie simpered, looking pleased with himself before twisting his arm to show the Doctor his new drawing, "Ta da! What'd ya' think?"
The Doctor couldn't help but let out a small giggle at Jamie's sweet child-like drawing.
There was a TARDIS, or should I say more of a wobbly blue rectangle in the background, with a small dwarf (Zoe) standing next to it, and in front of that were two carefully drawn almost people.
One of the Doctor, and one of Jamie, holding hands with big smiles on their faces.
Zoe looked over at the drawing, tilting her head to try and see it better, "Where am I on the drawing?"
"Ay it's obvious, yer' there," Jamie furrowed his eyebrows, pointing at the small human-like blob by the TARDIS.
"That can't be me, that's a gnome!"
"Actually, it's a dwarf."
"Jamie McCrimmon!" Zoe shouted, annoyed at being portrayed in such a ridiculous way.
"Ay come on now lassy, it's fairly accurate considering my artistic skills," Jamie sniggered, nudging Zoe playfully, but Zoe wasn't having it.
"Oh Doctor can't you tell him to not be so harsh!"
But of course unsurprisingly, even the Doctor couldn't hold back his laughter, "Well Zoe, I think it's pretty accurate too if I'm honest..!"
The Doctor rested his head on Jamie's shoulder, as they both laughed at the dwarf Zoe drawing like children at a funfair.
"I swear you can both be such, such... Such men at times! And so childish too!" Zoe grunted, glaring at the two idiots before leaving the room and shutting the door aggressively behind her.
But Jamie and the Doctor were still laughing, and they only stopped because their stomach and faces were starting to ache.
The Doctor wiped a small tear from his eye after finally calming himself down, and smiled so lovingly at Jamie, "feeling better?"
"Aye, much better," he responded, kissing the Doctor softly on the cheek, "Thank you."
The Doctor pulled him in for a gentle hug, resting his chin on the top of Jamie's head, "Just remember, if you ever feel even just a little bit down, I promise you there's always a way both Zoe and I can help, okay?"
Jamie nuzzled his head into the Doctor's chest, listening to his two hearts beat. He wasn't sure why, but he always found listening to the Doctor's hearts so comforting, "Aye, I kno'."
They sat there comfortably in silence for some time, just enjoying each other's company and warmth, not uttering even a breath, but then Jamie piped up, "Hey Doctor, d'ya think we should apologise to Zoe?"
The Doctor shifted his head to look at Jamie, "No no, she'll be fine, we've certainly done much worse before, not that that's something to brag about."
"Aye, s'pose ya' right."
They sat it in silence for a few more minutes.
"...D'ya think we'd get away with annoying her some more then?" Jamie smirked, almost sheepishly.
The Doctor looked at Jamie with a rather, unrecognisable expression. Jamie couldn't tell what he was thinking, and he wasn't sure if he liked it.
"Well, I suppose just a little bit more teasing won't do anymore harm now will it," the Doctor grinned in a kind of impish-like way, readjusting his disheveled fringe before stretching his arms and standing up. He held his hand out to Jamie, and Jamie knew that look all too well, "Come along now Jamie," the Doctor spoke, a dark but mischievous tone, "We've got work to do."
End.

really not doing ok
hiding my long pathetic rambling vent under the cut
tw: violence, suicidal ideation, idk what else? sorry
lost my oldest and closest friend today
(For bonus fucked up, they’re a system so i lost 10 friends, Shai lost his only 2 friends, and Felinx and Emkay lost their only friends)
(For extra bonus fucked up: i found out because i hadn't heard from them in several weeks, and knowing that they were going through a hard time, and that they lived in the vicinity of an active wild fire, and knowing that their area was /also/ having a coronavirus surge, i panicked and asked a friend to try contacting them (And it wasn't some random friend either, the friend was a mutual friend of one of their system members) and found out via them that the system had decided to cut all contact, despite our last exchange being essentially “if you don’t want me in your life anymore i’ll understand and leave you alone” and them replying “it’s ok, we’re just having a tough time rn, no worries”. but apparently that was either a lie, or they changed their mind and didn’t think i deserved at least a heads up (which i find espically fucked up cause they know that one of my biggest anxieties is having people just vanish), because apparently neither I, nor any of my systemmates deserve any kind of closure?)
whole thing hit me like a tonne of bricks
wasn't expecting it, but i guess i was afraid of it
feeling hugely guilty too cause they said it’s cause they decided that they didn't want me in their lives anymore (fuck, i was trying so hard to work on my issues, and i thought i was doing so much better, but i guess it just wasn't good enough), so i feel like it’s my fault that Shai, Emkay, and Felinx lost their friends too
we’re all mostly in shock over it
also i’m worried about how Shai will react, like, right now he just seems hurt and is isolating, but i’m worried that if/when his hurt turns to anger he’ll attack me in headspace again. last time something similar happened (he followed someone, but they saw that he is a system mate of mine, and the person he followed apparently hated me for something i did years ago that i thought i had made amends for) he was so pissed off by the situation (he felt that essentially my past stupidity had cost him a new potential friend) that he attacked me in headspace in a fit of rage, and nearly beat me to death (If it weren't for Andreaus and Felinx breaking it up, he certainly would have succeeded), so i’m kinda scared that it’ll happen again (Fun fact about our headspace: injuries that happen in it don’t re-set! like, the horn he broke off: still a stump that hurts so much when it gets touched that i throw up (including once where it happened while i was at front and i threw up with the body too!), and my right eye that is still almost completely blind, or the kink in my tail, or massive scarring from where he ripped off a chunk of my flesh, and not to mention the several teeth he knocked out (Somehow Felinx was able to find a dental uh... thingy so it looks like i have all my teeth, they also somehow managed to find a like prosthetic clamp deal thingy to kinda cover the painful bit of my horn and hold the broken part on, so it at least kinda looks like it isn't broken)
and like, yeah those injuries are only in headspace, but they still fucking hurt! and like, what if this time he manages to kill me? like, could i actually die in headspace? would i be gone for good, or some kind of blob in constant pain, or would i come back, or what?
i mean, as awful as it would be, i really couldn’t blame him for killing me
to be honest, i doubt i’d even try to stop him this time
honestly the only reason i didn’t take a dive off the Crescent City Connector earlier today, is cause it wouldn’t be fair to everyone else in the system if i killed myself with the body (One of the main system rules we have is that any decision that will permanently effect the body has to be completely unanimous, so no killing us unless everyone else agrees)
and all this on the heels of the hurricane and evacuation and being beyond broke (currently overdrafted by 35 cents!) and too many other things to list that have happened in the last 2 months
at least things can’t get much worse?

Futari wa Precure Episodes 01-26
Am I rewatching precure? I can't believe this!
Yes, this is not a fever dream, I'm really rewatching precure, and not just Futari wa but THE WHOLE FRANCHISE. Am I crazy? Yes, because I'm already watching too much stuff at the same time and I barely have time for that as of right now, but I love screwing myself over so here we are!
I can't really remember the exact thing that sprung this desire of rewatching precure on me, but I've been thinking about it for quite some time now, at least since I wrapped up on the Aikatsu marathon before On Parade started, in fact, one of the reasons I started doing the old Kamen Rider reviews was because of this. I just didn't start it earlier because I'm the kind of crazy that picked a calendar, looked at the dates, and made the calcs, and realized I could watch pretty much everything in one year so I decided to keep this "project" for 2020 and start the new decade with a bang.
So this is how it'll go: I'll be dividing each season into quarters and pretty much covering one season per month with posts coming out weekly every Wednesday, the only exceptions for this rule are Futari wa and Yes! since these are the only seasons with sequels so instead of dividing into quarters I'll divide them in half and watch two seasons in a month rather than just one. Also, different from Kamen Rider's case, since I'm more familiar with the franchise and I know how the movies go I'll also be watching the movies and posting about them as I go along (All stars movies will come out usually in between the first and the second week, while solo movies will be in between the third and the forth). I really hope I don't go nuts and that this can go as smoothly as possible. XD In any case, it's precure time!
I promised myself I'd keep nostalgia out of these rewatches and do them like if it was my first time watching the series so that I can be less biased on certain aspects, but when it comes to the OGs is really difficult to not have my thoughts clouded by it. I may not have been around since Precure first aired, but Futari wa was effectively my first precure season too, I joined this bandwagon when Heartcatch was airing and I was so in love that I wanted to watch the past seasons and Futari was was my first choice and it holds a very special place in my heart because of that. I tried my best to keep those feelings out of this review and in some cases I was able to it effectively while on others not so much so, I apologize for that. XD
I usually try to separate these reviews on blocks of Plot, Characters, Designs, and commentary on specific episodes and I'm gonna try to apply this structure here more or less.
Talking about the plot... there's not a lot of it. XD
Like yeah, there's the whole Dark Kingdom attacking the Garden of Light thing, and the sort of scavenger hunt for the Prism Stones (not the Pretty Rhythm ones, just to be clear) and all of that, but there's not a whole lot going on beside it, is just Nagisa and Honoka goofing around while their friendship solidifies, they sometimes bump heads but that's pretty much it. And honestly, that's not bad, as while isn't a story about Nagisa and Fujipi the more slice-of-life portions are amazing.
The cure portion that is the problem, to start the action in these 26 episodes isn't the greatest, most of the time is just the cures being thrown away until they get fed up, say "I'll never forgive you!", hold hands, and they throw either a Marble Screw or, in rare occasions, a Rainbow Therapy. Of course, special fights with generals sometimes get a little more flare, but in general, they're pretty lackluster. Also, it feels like things weren't paced properly with the beginning and the end happening very fast and the middle being overly long in comparison. And of course, there's the element of defeating a villain or a set villains while there's still half a season ahead which means change of villains for people who we never knew existed before and apparently were a big deal, and if you read my Kamen Rider review you know how I feel about huge changes affecting the antagonists...
But oh well, I have lots of things to get through so I won't hammer on this for too long. MOVING ON.
Futari wa's biggest strength, at least for this first half, is CHARACTERS. The side cast has many hits or misses, but the protagonists Nagisa and Honoka more than compensate for it. One fun thing of this whole experience was kinda re-discovering them? Because I never watched the OG precure and Max Heart again after my first time watching like 10 years ago and I also don't have the best memory so I forgot a lot of minor things, like how Nagisa is such a downer in regards to their mission, and how positive and bright Honoka is and these are traits that are kinda opposites to their personalities with Nagisa being more outgoing and energetic and Honoka being more calm and polite, and this is so perfect and so much fun, I love it to that. Speaking of surprises I forgot how much of a savage Honoka was, like, the girl put a group of thieves on the line by just yelling at them. THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF POWER.
Unfortunately, they don't come alone. Their fairy partners, Mepple and Mipple, are... annoying. Mipple not so much, she has moments where I go "Really queen?" but for the most part she doesn't bother me, in fact, I'm sympathetic towards her who has to be partnered romantically with such a piece of crap of a male that Mepple is. I don't know why but I completely forgot the jerk that Mepple actually is and let me tell you, it wasn't fun seeing him being misogynist, selfish, and just plain rude, not just to Nagisa regularly but also with Mepple, it's actually very sad. I don't remember if he gets any better in the future, but for now, I'm hating him.
The side characters aren't very special, the girls in the Lacrosse Team and the Science Club are more or less just extensions and supporters or Nagisa and Honoka but I overall like them. The major highlights in terms of side characters are Akane and Fujipi. Akane is a huge positive because she has great energy, she's very fun, and he not only provides a meeting point for the girls but also has a mentor role, though its a very little one, that is great to see. Fujimura on the other hand... I admit, the dude is okay, he never really did anything relevant so there's nothing to hate on him per se, but he's a love interest and his situation with Nagisa never develops on any sort of way is just a very flat experience which makes his relevance even smaller so I can't help but think "what is he still doing here, just disappear with him already" every time he's up on the screen.
There's no other way to put this, the villains are plane as hell. Some of them have good designs but overall, they're very band. Pissard seems like it could've been a cool dude but we spent only 5 episodes with him, that's not enough time with him to make him interesting. Gekidrago is the boring and stereotypical "dumb villain", I think I don't need to write anything else after that. Irukubo is the stoic powerful villain, but much like in Pissard's case, we barely see him in action so it's not enough to make me care for him, and the Dark King is just a horrible CGI blob of darkness. The best villains of this first half are the siblings Poisony and Kiriya, Poisony is actually the best one of the generals seeing that she's a strategist and most of her plans were all pretty good so she was always able to get the cures corned in some way, she may have flunked her cover in that episode where she disguises as Honoka for not doing her research well before assuming the role, but overall she's amazing. Kiriya is the villain that never attacked the cures directly, as far as I remember he never summoned a Zakkenna, and putting it like this may sound like a bad thing, but trust me, it's not. He's the first precure villain to get a "redemption" and as rushed as it was his presence in the story and his arc as a character was also pretty well done so he deserves to share the podium with his sister as best villains.
Since we're talking about villains let's talk about the cures now. Black and White have a very simple design and that's not a bad thing, they're simple but they're still pretty different from each other and it's not a difference that screams to the eyes like id there was something wrong, they complement each other perfectly which only helps in making them this iconic duo that they are. The transformation items, as well as the Prism Hopeish and that notepad thingy, are very 2000's but they have their charm. I think the thing that didn't age very well were the effects for the transformations and the attacks, don't get me wrong I love their original transformation, there's a frame on it that is just marvelous, but watching with 2020's eyes there are parts that feel very wonky. Following the theme, the attacks have a very simple animation but in this case, it works because they can make some very interesting stuff with it, like launching a Marble Screw through Poisony's Umbra Witch hair.
Going into more detail on the episodes, these 26 ones feel like a normal seasonal anime, despite the pacing problems if these 26 episodes were a single season it would've worked well because there was no loose end lost in the mix, maybe the Fujipi stuff would be the only thing that would end with no proper closure, but then again that's not important so it would be a satisfying end. There were four major arcs inside this mini-season so I'll comment on them separately.
The first and shortest arc is the introductory arc that goes from Episodes 1 to 5. And there's not a lot to say here, they introduce the characters, the mission, and the character relations on a good way, there was nothing stellar but it's a good introduction to the series, the only let down is the fighting portion that is very lackluster, in special the final fight against Pissard that was supposed to be a big important moment but that in the end was just very not impressive at all.
The second arc goes from Episode 6 to 11. This is probably the most boring arc of all despite some interesting happening here, we have the introduction to the Prism Stones and the Prism Hopeish, they first use the Rainbow Therapy here, and we also have the famous arc where Nagisa and Honoka fight for the first time and tighten their bonds. These are all interesting points but the set-up for these things to happen weren't the best, like for example Nagisa and Honoka's fight, I always remembered this as a very important moment, AND IT IS, the lesson learned at the end is pretty good and it results on them calling each other for their first name which is a key moment, but all of that happened because of Nagisa's feelings for Fujipi and all that misunderstanding and ughhh that's such a boring reason to make them fight, it was really a letdown. I think after everything the thing that stroke me the most was Honoka's birthday episode and how badass she was for putting some sense into the head of three adult men, which was really magnificent. Also, the first proper fight happened in this arc in the final battle against Gekidrago, it was short but it was good nonetheless.
The biggest arc is the third one that goes from Episodes 12 to 21. This is my favorite arc and a big part of it is because Poisony and Kiriya start to get active here. I don't know how to explain but their addition to the cast made things more dynamic and interesting to watch. Poisony's plans always led to interesting situations like when she hypnotized their classmates that were playing dress-up as the cures, or when she trapped them inside that mirror dimension, or even her last moments in the show where she used that old trick of impersonating someone and making the protagonist having to choose who's the real and who's the fake one, you know even if the precure portions weren't the best, they were put in the most interesting situations in this arc. Together with that, we have Kiriya that goes through a very interesting arc, until now I don't really know why he infiltrated in the school since, as I mentioned, he never acted directly as a villain against the precure (not as far as I can remember) but his interactions with the crew and especially his relationship with Honoka was quite interesting to see it develop. My high points from this arc were episode 18, the one where a girl confesses her feelings for Kiriya - there's a lot of interesting stuff happening here, and episode 20, Poisony's defeat and one of the best fights of this portion of the season. My low point would be episode 19 more because Mepple is being a jerk here than anything else, but I didn't enjoy this episode as much as I did to the other in this arc.
The final arc of this portion is another small one, it covers episodes 22 to 26, and this one is very odd. We start with a filler centered around Honoka's dog of all things that are followed by two two-parters that wrap-up this first half. I'm gonna be honest I don't like this arc, one because it introduces Pollun and two because the "final" fight is very unimpressive, yeah Shining Star debuts here and is a big moment but overall isn't the best, which is understandable after all are two girls launching a beam at a giant dark blob of CGI and there's not a whole lot there, but its fun to see a preview of what will become the Extreme Luminario in the next season. I also don't like how they didn't let the episode finish on a downer note with both of the girls missing their partners and such. But oh well, at least we had Episodes 23 and 24 here there were very interesting, they had this mystery/horror film vibe to it and I loved it.
And that's pretty much all I had to say! Thank you for reading all of this mess, I really appreciate it, I'm very excited to be doing this and I hope I can count with your support through this year. What are your thoughts on Futari wa? Let me know in the comments. I'll see you, folks, on a next time, and don't forget, if you ever see a shooting star be careful with what you wish for, a cellphone thing may fall from the sky right on your head and unless if you're an anime girl you will be in risk of having a concussion. XD In any case, see you around. o/

A Sunday in February
summary: a little pre-Grammys snacc for you, my friends. Shawn and Emma return. and because it’s me, it doesn’t come easy.
warnings: language, Georgie Being Georgie (TM)
WC: 1845
On a Sunday in February, Emma wakes up with a start. She awakes out of a dream, the kind you don’t remember as soon as your eyes open but you want to chase after it, pick it apart, separate it into little piles to analyze. It was an important dream.
She sits up slowly, careful of her aching muscles. She went a little too hard at Pilaticardio yesterday the same way she’s been doing everything at 150% lately, like putting even more effort into her daily life will somehow secure her the Grammys she’s nominated for.
Best Country Song. Best Country Album. Album of the Year.
She hasn’t even let herself think those phrases since she first heard them associated with her name. She’s not even superstitious. Or… she wasn’t.
There’s a creaking sound. Emma squints at the door. She beams.
+
“... and sometimes the rain has gotta fall.”
Emma felt that one. She doesn’t even look up at her producer Erin, just grips the music stand and leans back, taking a deep breath away from the mic.
“Perfect, Em. That was perfect,” says the voice in her headphones. She nods shakily. She knows.
Running her tongue along her lower lip, she slides her enormous phone out of her too-small pocket. No texts. With a cool bobbing of her head, she slides her phone back in her pocket.
“Should I go again?” she asks.
+
Georgie steps inside with a breakfast tray. She wastes no time clambering up onto Emma’s bed. The plate she bears is dotted with silver dollar pancakes surrounding a misshapen blob in the center. Emma lifts her eyebrows and before she can begin to speak, Georgie rolls her eyes and huffs.
“Ok, listen, so I bought this pancake form online, right? I ordered it from Etsy from this chick who can make, like, whatever your heart desires. So, obviously, I ordered the Grammys trophy, ya know, the little gold record player thingy? But when you try to make a pancake of that it comes out all… fucking weird.”
By the end of her sentence, Emma is cackling. She’s forgotten all about her dream. She slings an arm around her sister’s shoulders and picks the pancake up with her fingers, biting into what should be the base of the record player, wiggling her eyebrows.
“You’re the most beautiful moron I’ve ever seen,” Emma assures her through a bite of an otherwise very well made pancake. Georgie burrows into Emma’s side with a blushing chuckle.
“At least I have that going for me.”
+
Shawn’s hand slips off the cool metallic window frame. The heel of his hand butts into the window and he steps forward to right himself with a gasp. His already heaving chest feels like it’s cracking in half, so, Shawn supposes, this might as well happen.
He doubles over, planting his hands on his knees as he pants. He hangs his head, slams his eyes shut and tries to imagine her and what she’s doing right now.
It’s 4am in Los Angeles. Emma is sleeping for at least another two hours. She’s in that big bed all alone, probably curled up on her side like she does in the summer when she keeps her bedroom too cold. In the winter, she cranks up the heat, splays out like a starfish, sweating into the sheets. And she never learns.
Thinking of her calms him through this, this… whatever it is. Calling her, hearing her voice would end it completely.
But he can’t.
+
Emma sits up so the woman putting makeup on her neck can sweep down into her decolletage. The stereo is blasting “Kerosene” by Miranda Lambert so loud the makeup artists have given up on trying to yell over it -- they’ve developed their own sign language. Emma’s distracted, chewing on the inside of her lip while her butter blonde hair is blown out into big, fat curls -- less Dolly Parton, more Victoria’s Secret Angel. Her instructions this time, not Sandra’s.
Georgie and Angelique stand behind her, both on their phones, both bobbing their heads to the music at exactly the same time. Neither of them has noticed yet. Emma watches in her vanity mirror with a shimmering grin.
+
Emma heaves a sigh before the voicemail beeps. “Hi. I guess you’re asleep. That’s ok. I mean, it’s fine. I should really be asleep too. Just… wanted to hear your voice. You know how I get. I’m fine, though. Don’t freak out and feel like you have to call the second you wake up. Because I know how you can get too.
“It’s just… a lot. The Grammy thing. You’ve lived through this. And it’s fine, clearly you recovered. I’m sure I’m overthinking it. That’s what we do, though, right? We’re musicians. We… feel things. God, I’m not even making sense. Ok. Listen. I love you. You’re the best. Hopefully I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
“Bye, Taylor.”
+
As they wait for the limo to arrive, Emma’s focusing on remembering not to chew on her bottom lip because it’s painted with red lacquer more carefully than Michelangelo painted the Sistine fuckin’ Chapel. Her phone buzzes.
Hey little girl! Got your voicemail. So sorry I can’t call. I know where you are. I’ve been where you are. You think you’re on top of a mountain. After all, how could you not be at the top? Three Grammy noms on your first studio album as a solo country artist. How much higher can you climb? I got news for you, kid. You’re not on top of the mountain. You just found the first place with a kickass view. So what do you do? Stop and look around for a minute. The rest of the mountain isn’t going anywhere, it never has. It’s waiting for you. So take a look. It’s beautiful up there.
P.S. check the surrounding rocks for the initials T.A.S. carved in. We all gotta leave our mark somehow.
Love you back.
+
Shawn’s head buzzes against the window with the vibration of the moving car. Anna elbows him, reminds him he’s wearing foundation on his forehead because he’s been breaking out. Nerves, and all.
He nods and pulls his head back but continues staring out the window. His knee has been bouncing for at least a half hour as they wait in the line of cars crawling toward the red carpet.
He’s been on who knows how many red carpets by now. He’s never been more anxious than he is right now.
And he knows exactly why.
+
Georgie hums in Emma’s ear about holding her phone in her bag. Emma hands it off, nodding. All she’d be doing is scrolling through early red carpet arrivals, anyway. She’s not expecting to hear from anyone else.
She’s in a custom blood red Christian Siriano. It looks like someone poured liquid satin down her body and let it drop into a train of shimmering fabric with a slit up to her thigh. Sandra would’ve said it’s too old for her. Margaret would’ve said red’s not her color.
Emma pats a curl back into place and smirks down at her strappy red sandals and red clutch.
Emma chooses what is and isn’t her color now. Tonight, red’s her color.
Maybe gold too.
+
Shawn lifts a hand out of his pocket and draws his fingers up into a peace sign. His smirk lifts into a full smile, but it’s a little dull, half-hearted. He feels like he can’t walk two steps down the red carpet without glancing back down toward the arrivals area.
His heart beats a pounding rhythm in his ears, so loud it mercifully drowns out the crew of paps screaming “SHAWN! SHAWN!” for just a bite of his attention. He keeps one fidgeting hand in the pocket of his midnight black slacks and turns on the heel of his patent leather shoes.
If Emma saw them, she’d say they “shiiiiiiine like the top of the Chrysler building.” She quoted “Annie” whenever she could.
There’s a flurry of energy at arrivals. Shawn glances back.
+
Yasmin takes one more puff of powder to Emma’s face and another swipe of gloss across her lips. Georgie is talking Emma’s ear off, but she can barely hear it over the roar of camera snaps, fan cheers and event organizers barking at each other.
Angelique is talking, too. Emma just stares at her with her “I’m listening” face.
But she’s not. She’s not listening to Georgie, not listening to the pinging of her phone in her clutch, not listening to Yasmin as she reminds her what angles to hit and what jewelry she’s wearing.
The door to the limo opens. The sound gets louder. It doesn’t matter.
Everyone is looking inside. That, Emma’s used to. She’s even used to the noise. But she’s not used to this feeling, the one that’s got her hair standing on end and her shoulders tensed like she’s the slut in a horror movie and she’s first on the kill list.
She scoots to the end of the seat closest to the door and ignores that maybe it’s her Sandra-enforced training that’s getting her out of the limo and not instead ralphing into a plastic bag a block away outside an In-n-Out.
She puts a leg out first, then extends her hand to the greeter as she ducks her head to save her flossy curls.
Somehow, like rom-com queen Nora Ephron herself designed it this way, she knows it’s him as soon as she feels his hand take hers. She freezes and turns her head, eyes wide, lips parted.
Shawn, looking wild eyed and sweaty with a grin plastered on his beautiful, miraculous face, helps her out of the car amidst crazed, unrelenting fan shrieks, shutter snapping and paparazzi calls.
“SHAWN! SHAWN! EMMA! LOOK THIS WAY!”
Emma can’t feel her legs, but she’s standing on them with her hand in his, dumbfounded for all the world to see.
“How…?” she gasps, ribs shuddering with her aching lungs.
Shawn smirks in that warm, mischievous way he does. “C’mon, Em, you didn’t really think I’d miss this.”
Emma swallows a sob. She lifts her shaking free hand to her face as her lips quiver. Georgie smiles from inside the limo, swiping through the silenced notifications on her sister’s phone --
Shawn Mendes makes surprise appearance at 2020 Grammys! -- The Hollywood Reporter
*Le GASP!* Shawn Mendes Shocks the Grammy Red Carpet! -- Perez Hilton
Sometimes the rain’s gotta fall down, but not today! Shawn Mendes makes a surprise appearance on the red carpet to support his ladylove, 3x Grammy nominated country singer Emma Kingston! -- E! News
With a devious shake of her head (and a wink out the door at Shawn, her co-conspirator), Georgie slips out the other door and offers Angelique a sly high five.
Shawn cups his big hands around Emma’s face and doesn’t even bother to look her up and down before he says, “You look incredible.”
Emma sinks her fingers into Shawn’s forearms and whimpers into his lips before she can even finish getting out the words, “I love you.”
The cameras flash. The girls shriek. The heads turn.
The whole world watches, but they can’t see inside. That’s just for them.
Support me unending habit of writing one shots for series I’ve already finished and buy me a Ko-fi (link on my home page)!

General Randomness What's the weather like right now? It’s very bright and sunny out, but January is typically one of the colder days of the year so I’m not feeling uncomfortable right now. It’s the perfectly chilly temperature I would have liked to have all year long. What are you currently sitting on? I am sitting on a chair at our dining table, which is usually where I take surveys. How many times have you brushed your teeth today? Just once.
When did you get up? I’ve been up since 8, but didn’t get out of bed until 10.
Have you been in a vehicle for more than 45 minutes today? I haven’t been in a car at all today cos I’ve only stayed home. Angela invited me to go out for some drinks but I didn’t feel like drinking or being out today, so I’ve been home the whole time.
Where is your best friend? I think Angela is at home but I’m sure she’s getting ready to go out for the aforementioned ^ drinking. I’m not sure where Gab is. How many days until Christmas? Oh wow, barely missed it, chief. There are 355ish days left, I’m guessing? Have you kissed someone today? Nope. Is your mom over 50? No, and she still has a year to go. How old were you 7 years ago? I was technically 14, but was about to turn 15 in a few months. Do you know what 'C'est la vie' means? Yep. In Gen Z lingo, it essentially means, ‘it be like that sometimes’ lmao. Do you usually take showers or baths? Showers, because we don’t have bathtubs and also because I find it much more efficient anyway. I only take baths when I’m out of town, in a fancy hotel, and want to pamper myself with bubbles and fancy body wash. What kind of bottoms are you wearing right now? I’m wearing shorts just meant for the home.
Are you wearing anything red? Yes, the pair of shorts I just talked about. What was the name of your first pet? I didn’t keep track of my first goldfish’s name but a good guess would be Goldie. I wasn’t a very creative kid, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be right. Do you live in an apartment? Nope. I’ve been living with my parents under their roof. What color is the floor in the room you're in? Cream-ish. What was the most irritating thing to happen to you today? My thesis professor being a headache to talk to. I am genuinely baffled at how she was able to secure a very high position in my university’s administration, considering how erratic she can get. How do you feel about your most recent ex? She’s great. Do you wish at 11:11? No. Do you wish on shooting stars? I would, if they often visited on this side of the world. But they don’t, so. Do you wish on dandelions? No. There aren’t a lot where I live. Are you drinking anything right now? Mmm no, not at the moment. I finished my coffee a little while ago and while I want to make a second cup to keep myself awake, I have an early morning tomorrow so I’d want to sleep early tonight. It’s back to work for me, ugh. About how tall is your father? Not too tall. He’s like, 5′5 or 5′6. How old is your oldest living grandparent? I only know the age of one grandparent, and that’s my 73 year old maternal grandmother. I don’t get to see my paternal grandparents a lot cos they live quite far, so with that comes my insufficient knowledge about them. Do you know anyone who has lived to be 100+? Gab’s great-grandmother, but she passed away last November. Have you had your birthday yet this year? Nope. There’s been a mere three days into the year, so very few people would already have had their birthdays hahaha. Do you read your horoscope on a regular basis? No. You do you, but I was never a fan. It’s also a pet peeve when people use their star sign as excuses for their shitty behavior. “Sorry I acted up, I’m a Scorpio,” “I hate everybody because I’m an Aquarius,” “I ghosted them because I’m a Cancer” no it’s because you’re a bitch, Karen. Do you like the color yellow? I hate it a bit less than green (my least favorite color) only because I love the song Yellow by Coldplay and because mustard yellow isn’t that bad of a color. Are you an aunt or uncle? If my friends start having kids soon, then I’ll be an aunt. Why is your best friend your best friend? They both understand my weirdness and all my quirks and never made me feel like I was being judged. What is your hair like at the moment? Tbh it matches my top pretty well so as frizzy as my hair is at the moment, it still looks good with the tank top I have on lolol. How many times have you donated blood this year? Zero. I’m scared of needles, and even if I get over that phobia I wouldn’t be able to donate anyway because I’m underweight. Are you wearing any jewelry? No, not right now. Are you a video-gamer? I wouldn’t call myself that. I play GTA just to be a law-abiding citizen and not actually do the missions lol, I get tired of playing The Sims after ten minutes, and I only play a handful of Nintendo games. Who got married at the last wedding you went to? My mom’s brother and his then-fiancee, now one of my favorite aunts except for the facts that she’s a hardcore Duterte supporter and Marcos apologist. Do you like Chinese food? Yep, it’s one of my favorite cuisines. How far is the nearest Walmart? I can’t walk nor drive to it, that’s for sure. Have you ever been a designated driver? I’m always DD by default because I’m the only one among my friends who has a car other than JM, who also has a (much bigger) car but is terribly low-tolerance and will absolutely pass out. I get tipsy easily as well, but I sober up real quick and always make sure I’m 100% back to reality by the time I drive. Which means that I typically have to stop drinking earlier than the rest of my friends, but so long as that means I get to take everyone back home safe, it’s okay with me. What is something that always brings tears to your eyes? My mom yelling at me. Who is your 20th phone contact? My contacts aren’t numbered thus I’m too lazy to count manually. Do you have any plans to get a tattoo? It’s not completely off the table, but I’ve definitely toned down my original plans of getting tattoo sleeves and getting myself generally covered a la CM Punk (and I have to tell ya, I’m so glad I grew out of that phase). These days I prefer to have small tattoos to memorialize significant people or events, and some of my plans include my dog’s pawprint and a plate of nachos. Or a new piercing? Probably not. What would your name be if your last name was the color of your shirt? Brown. If you could find out how you would die, would you want to know? Yes. I hate the unknown and would rather be certain, no matter how ugly or nasty the certainty holds. Do you make your bed regularly? Every morning. Do you look forward to the weekend? NO. I have a 2-day meeting for my 2-day weekend. I am so dreading it. I just want to stay a lazy couch blob for another week. How much do you know about the mechanics of cars? I know how to turn a car on, go forward, reverse, brake, and open my gas tank... and that’s about it. Has anyone ever told you you should be a model? Model and beauty queen, yeah. How old was your mom when she had you? She was 26, but was turning 27 that year. Do rainy days get you down? No. I thrive on rainy days lmao. Who is the artist/band you're listening to at the moment? No music keeping me company at the moment. Do you ever take aspirin when you 'feel a headache coming on'? Not aspirin but I take a Biogesic. I dunno if those two or the same thing or not. Is there a calendar in the room you're in? Nope. Do you prefer to be in a relationship or be single? I’ve been seeing a person for technically six years, so now I prefer a relationship after being accustomed to having one for so long. If you're single, do you wish you were in a relationship? Have you ever had your heart broken? Sure. Do you live within an hour of the beach? No. I’m very far away from the beach :( How do you like your steak? Rare or medium-rare. Were you born in the 1980s? I was not. A Few Firsts What was the first sound you heard when you woke up? I woke up to the sound of my mom calling me on my phone. I was half-asleep and didn’t feel like answering, so I muted it and went back to sleep. I feel guilty now that I remember, but she didn’t call back or text me so it probably wasn’t a big deal. Who was your first best friend? It was a girl named Kaye from kinder. We were good friends for like two years, and then we got sorted to different sections in Prep and drifted apart after that. Who was your first boyfriend/girlfriend? I’ve said her name so many times on these surveys already. Y’all know. Who was your first date to a formal dance? I haaaateeeeed the idea of asking guys out and being in a relationship for most of high school, so I made sure I only asked my cousin for my prom. How bad was your first break up? Pretty messed up. There was a lot of tension and resentment and confusion in the beginning. Throw in my grandfather’s sudden death and me taking the UPCAT, and you have my mental health completely rattled! What was your first favorite movie? High School Musical, for sure. How old were you when you had your first kiss? 16. What was your first trip to the emergency room for? My platelet count was really low, I was in danger of getting dengue, and had to stay the night at the hospital. Then there was sticking the IV onto my wrist, upon which I made a complete scene in the emergency room and thrashed and kicked around while my (very frail) grandma (sorry, Lola) tried to hold me down with a lot of patients watching lol. Where was the first place you went today? The kitchen. Who was the first person you saw? My sister, I think. What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up? I wondered why my mom called, realized I was too sleepy to care, and went back to bed. Do you remember the first time you spent the night away from home? Yupppp. I was in third grade, my club had an overnight camping thingy as its culmination activity, and it was the first time ever that I was allowed to spend the night somewhere else. I remember being around a campfire, roasting marshmallows for the first time, having to share a sleeping mat with Katreen, and her kicking me in her sleep.
Where was your first big vacation to? Boracay. What was your first job? None yet. I’ll make sure to update you by the end of the year. What was the first thing you had to drink today? Coffee.
Some Lasts Where was the location of your last kiss? My girlfriend’s car, when she dropped me back at my place. How old was the last person you kissed? 21. What was the last movie you rented? I’ve never experienced renting a movie, which definitely confirms my status as a Gen Z kid lmao. But I can tell you that the last movie I watched was Knives Out. Where was the last place you went? Other than around my house, we went to church last Tuesday night for New Year’s Eve mass. What was the last restaurant you went to? Yabu. Who was the last person to call you? My mom, this morning. Who was the last non-relative you spoke in person to? Gabie. What was the last thing you bought? I got dinner from Yabu, haha. When was the last time you drove more than an hour somewhere? December 14th. That evening was INSANE. It was Saturday + Christmas traffic, and it took me two hours to travel from Antipolo to Rita’s place in Makati. JM and I drove separately cos we were a big group - his drive took FOUR hours. Why did you last get angry? My thesis prof was doing us so fucking dirty and I couldn’t do anything about it. What color was the last vehicle you rode in? Blue-green. How long ago was your last birthday? NIne months. When did it last rain? It drizzled a little bit yesterday. What was the age difference between you and your most recent ex? A month and a half. When was the last time you used a dictionary? Maybe an hour ago for a word I used in a past survey lol. Mini iPod Shuffle: Don't Cheat, Use Whatever Song Comes Up, No Matter How Ridiculous (I have several playlists, so I’ll just use the Spotify-curated playlist made for Gab’s account called Your Top Songs 2019 hahahaha) My love song: Love song - Lana Del Rey (Wow.) My fight song: Swim Against the Tide - The Japanese House My break-up song: New Light - John Mayer The song for when I'm sad: Money - Leikeli47 The song for when I'm angry: Constant Conversations - Passion Pit My song to have sex to: Bad Girls - Tennis The song about my ex: Just the Same But Brand New - St. Vincent The song about my best friend: Juice - LIZZO The song about my crush: Seventeen - no rome My 'feel good' song: Venice Bitch - Lana Del Rey The theme song of my life: Formation - Beyoncé I literally know four of these songs, which I’ve since bolded just so y’all know that I have no idea what the other seven songs are and if they make sense with the situations at hand. Gab clearly uses her account more than I do, which should be the case anyway lmfaoooooo.
