2023 in anime

i give ratings out of 10 stars based on a rubric that considers the following:

2 points / ambition of what the anime is trying to achieve 3 points / effectiveness of the anime in achieving its aims 4 points / my personal, subjective enjoyment 1 point / pacing +1/-1 miscellaneous

so with that said… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (2 anime)

revolutionary girl utena – heavy breathing panting crying what a fucking roller coaster nanami the child you are anty the child you were utena the child you choose to be – just one of the true masterpieces of all anime. took a few episodes to realize that this show understood tone and comedy perfectly and wasn’t just a wonky children’s show and by golly! the nanami in season 3 gutted me unlike anything else

attack on titan: final season (for real this time) – decent conclusion to maybe my favorite anime of all time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 anime)

school rumble – so goddamn funny and i cared about every goddamn character. it’s witchcraft!

trigun – good ole saturday morning cartoons

golden kamuy s3 – how does it keep getting better???!?!

fruits basket – i was a certified hater after s1, but slowly but surely i gave into the melodrama. akito and shigure were EVERYTHING

nana – the most disappointing ending of all time! for one of the greatest anime of all time. manga pls save me!!!

rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai – i’m embarrassed. i cried.

princess tutu – expressionistic, dedicated to storytelling, tremendously kind-hearted. you have to let it move you

blue lock – i’m officially a sports anime girlie

cyberpunk: edgerunners – this was just so slick!

chainsaw man – nothing needs to be said here

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8 anime)

yamada-kun to lv999 no koi wo suru – adult romance that hasn’t been stripped of all conflict and maintains momentum nearly to the end

oshi no ko – my expectations were non-existent after ep 1 but then it crept up on me. i can’t even fully put my finger on what works so well? but it does! it knows when to take itself seriously and when to be nonsense.

demon slayer s3 – best season of demon slayer to date, i actually cared

durarara!!x2 shou – this is a confession. my inner edgy teen loves durarara. i appreciate huge casts of characters acting in opposition in atmospheric tokyo.

gintama – i finally finished gintama one of my favorites of all time. the end pulls all the threads together but it does so at the expense of the laughs so loses some points

chihayafuru – amazing background anime. just consistently fun and engaging.

perfect blue – i feel stupid and uncultured to not give this a 10

vinland saga – askeladd is so hot wow

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7 anime)

buddy daddies – funny and sincere in degrees but a truly annoying little girl character

serial experiments lain – god you’ve gotta appreciate the wild swings creatives were taking in the 90s

durarara!!x2 ten

great teacher onizuka – ugh he’s a creep but also heh he’s funny

trigun stampede – they yassified them!

mob psycho 100 s3 - meandered a bit but the characters are forever favorites

to your eternity – the first 3 arcs are extraordinary. march is one of the great child characters of all time. the end drags.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8 anime)

zom 100 – crazy good first episode that earns its premise and then a slow descent into mediocrity; cool colors though!

terror in resonance – utterly forgettable

dororo – way too long with way too many hit or miss episode arcs

bungou stray dogs s4 – the cracks are showing but the rampo backstory is dope

lycoris recoil – those cute girls shoulda been lesbians

classroom of the elite – is it edgy? yes. are the quotes frustratingly misused? oh yes. is it fun? ugh yeah actually

romantic killer – pretty cute and the edge of danger at the end really sells it

free – solid watch but it left my brain like sand in a sieve

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 anime)

wolf’s rain – what passes as deep when children are your primary audience

hell’s paradise – boring and i liked the manga so.

durarara!!x2 ketsu – the conclusion falls short

land of the lustrous – bold but was too slow for me

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3 anime)

tomo-chan is a girl! – sometimes funny but the conceit does not justify 13 episodes and it loses steam fast

mushishi – some of the vignettes were beautiful but felt repetitive

bleach: thousand-year blood war – sleek, hype, plagued by all the old bleach problems

no game no life season 1 - confused that this was such a phenomenon when it came out. it’s fine i guess.

⭐⭐⭐ (5 anime)

kamisama kiss – trite imo

given – god save us from anime about perfect people being perfect with each other – but this time set to music!

tokyo revengers s2 – 🤷

natsume’s book of friends – i don’t need vibes this cozy

sasaki to miyano – and i really don’t need vibes this cozy

⭐⭐ (0 anime)

⭐ (0 anime)

& then ongoing shows that i’m not going to rank until i finish them (but actually all are pretty good so far) – skip to loafer, heavenly delusion, spy x family s2, apothecary diaries, jujutsu kaisen s2, frieren: beyond journey’s end, vinland saga s2

AO3 First Lines Tag Game

Tagged by @dairogo (though somehow something got messed up and I didn't get a notification?)

Rules: Share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

(For the ones that are collections of oneshots or something, I'm taking it from the most recent chapter, not the first one.)

The Other Side of the Coin (FMA)

Dublith boiled in the late afternoon sun. Shimmering waves of heat rose from the light stones of the buildings and sidewalks, reflecting back the summer sunlight that had been pounding down on them all day long.

All the Stars in the Sky (Captain America)

The white wolf inches closer to the flame—drawn to its warmth, frightened by the possibility of pain—while the fire burns on, steadily melting the snow and beckoning him into its circle of safety.

Expecting the Unexpected (Captain America)

“You're up next, dear,” Sharon said, drying her hair on a towel as she wandered into the kitchen. She slowed to a stop when she saw Bucky sitting at the kitchen table, staring at the ceiling with a grimace as Steve finished pulling something out of his side with bloody fingers. Something metallic, an inch or two long, with jagged edges.

of skulls and secrets (FMA)

At first, Al was just happy to be back home. Xing was an amazing place, and he'd quickly grown to love its natural beauty, so different from anything he'd seen here in Amestris. And there were so many wonderful people he'd met in his travels, even some he hoped would remain lifelong friends. The more he learned of their complex, sing-song language, the more he liked it, and he ventured to think he was actually developing a certain amount of proficiency in speaking it (though reading or writing all but the simplest of sentences was still beyond him—which was a source of alternating mirth and frustration for Mei and his other friends who had been helping him translate research materials).

Back from the Brink (Dororo)

“Bro, behind you!” Hyakkimaru whirled around, raising his arms to defend himself. The ghoul bearing down on him became impaled on the twin blades, shrieking with pain in an inhuman voice that reverberated around the cave walls.

Loaded Question (FMA)

Colonel Roy Mustang took his seat behind his desk and surveyed his small office, somewhat crowded with his five subordinates and Maes Hughes. “I'm sure you're all curious as to the purpose of this informal meeting,” he began, “and I would like to impress upon you once again that everything said in this room must be held in strictest confidence.”

Worth a Thousand (Captain America)

Longing The target appears in your sights, a head locked in the crosshairs, ready and waiting for your bullet. Rusted You breathe out slowly, then squeeze the trigger. Furnace A splash of blood, then the body jerks and falls to the ground, where it lies still. Daybreak Because that's all it is now. Seventeen Just a body.

Remind Me Who I Am (Captain America)

You don't know who you are. You don't know who he is. All you know is that he's dying—after dozens of kills, you know what death looks like—and you can't let it happen. He's your mission. Your orders were clear. You've never disobeyed your orders before...or if you have, the memory of it has been buried so deeply underneath mountains of pain that you could never retrieve it again.

Dancing on Broken Glass (Captain America)

For the first few weeks after Bucky had taken his mask off, the three of them had just focused on enjoying each other's company and getting used to the different dynamics of their relationship. In a lot of ways, nothing was different about the way they interacted. But in other ways, everything had changed.

Not Done with You (Captain America)

When he thought of his history, what resonated with him now was not all that he had suffered but the divine love that he believed had intervened to save him. He was not the worthless, broken, forsaken man that the Bird had striven to make of him. In a single, silent moment, his rage, his fear, his humiliation and helplessness, had fallen away. That morning, he believed, he was a new creation. Softly, he wept. Steve sighed and closed the book, staring blankly at the cover's depiction of a plane flying through golden clouds. He'd read the book cover-to-cover twice now, some portions even more times than that. Even though a few descriptions had made visions of his own past swim before his eyes, he hadn't been able to stop reading. And he didn't regret picking up this book after an off-hand recommendation from a woman in the bookstore. Despite nightmares, despite the way parts of it made his gut twist or tears spring to his eyes...he was glad he'd read it.

Tagging @rainintheevening, @kraytwriter, @sailforvalinor, and um...I'm not sure who else might have stuff on AO3, but if you're reading this and you do, consider yourself tagged!

[cacaitos]

in comparison to many seinen mystery manga ive seen lately that take themselves very seriously and sometimes fail to make me care... well MtIN, not that centering on more personal/emotional reasons rather than the technical makes it better at it really (the author insists on it not being called a mystery manga), but it doesnt reach for more than it can take and closes each case so far decently enough on both levels. it helps that it doesnt takes things too seriously and does so more slowly, and that gives space to focus more on dialogue and interpersonal conflict; it ends up focusing more on human behaviour on a much more cotidian and probs apporachable level than if it were about getting away with murder. tho totonou as a protag can get preachy and device-y sometimes, i dont think it's too obnoxious.

to be honest it's very monster-of-the-chapter and quite episodic for the most part so it's not like i can say much about the plot. the stories themselves are quite simple. there are points a more linear plot rears its head but by the end none of it is really resolved. dunno about the conditions of publication of the work but the ending has that feel that it was cancelled or that tezuka outright didnt want or didnt know either to continue or to close it, so it's very sudden and disappointing. unsurprisingly the main appeal point was the bond between dororo and hyakkimaru since that happens to be one of tezuka's strong points even if the rest is mid, that earnest kind of emotionality and fondness that is.

dont read it lol. overall follows generally the afternoon club comedy-ecchi-romance shonen beats (although it's a seinen). however on one side the artstyle covers the manga with a certain eeriness from time to time that's quite distinctive, and on the other i admit i got a teensy bit surprised that's more serious and dramatic by the later chapters, making the romance more emotional than i expected. it's got a simple story and probably predictable but alright for the main couple if you go w very low expectations; the secondary ones (gag/comedy club activities scenes) to me were obnoxious and occupied a lot of runtime i didn't care about personally. lots of unnecessary fanservice and/of extremely sexualized female characters you know the deal, but i didnt hate the female characters, or more like they were the more likeable relatively (as in they were compelling or just like, Normal Good People. well there's only two of them anyway). the sexual content is in almost every chapter and tbh it hinders a lot of potential emotional development the couple could've had... the relatively more dramatic (when the comedy or like exaggerated moments ease up a bit) and understated tone makes them a bit more bearable and even compelling but that's on rarer instances. this series is about edging by the way.

fuuuucking tedious

the story was mid but not terrible, depends on tastes. the ending is where is at. overall alright just dont spend too much time on it.

yes the premise sounds crazy it's more serious than you may think but also fuck that ending -_-. not that it was technically dissonant but i'll see you in hell. disappointing.

[ojamajoprincess]

of course they had to give papa-sensei an edgy backstory. It wasnt enough for him to just be a compassionate country doctor

Blood in the Cut

[rin-the-shadow]

Me in 2019: “I don’t write fix-its. I write what-if’s and alternate continuities, which are completely different. Clearly I’m not insinuating that canon needed to be fixed, I just wanted to see what would happen if it was done differently.”

Me in 2019: *writes a blatant fix-it for Dororo episode 15*

[plogieplogie]

I know Dororo weed is funny but think about it please he would not do drugs he's the most straight edge little thing I've seen in my fucking life. he's really just a middle aged mother okay

[astroboyart]

Dororo as he appeared in Astro Boy: Edge of Time.

[uglifish]

I have some big personal news!

Since the passing of Mr. Scissors, my beautiful, energetic, lovable dutch bunny who was the main reason why I wrote so much (to take on his surgery bills so he could have a good life, and he only managed to live so happily and so long because of you wonderful people who trusted me enough to support my work with unimaginable love), his partner, Silky has been holding up well these past few months but has been acting lonely. She would lick the edges of her blankets and pillows until they were soaking wet, indicating she needs a partner (who isn’t human).

So we went on speed dates at a local rescue, and she found compatibility with one small gray rabbit. On their date, they didn’t fight or bite each other and even shared food. This boy is 2 years old, and his breed is a gray silver marten / mixed with something, they don’t know because he was born under someone’s porch and then brought into a house full of dogs and children, so he’s badly traumatized, but slowly he’s coming out of his shell the longer he’s staying with us. Silky gives him lots of reassuring head licks, and they cuddle together for 2+ hours a day on their dates. We’re still in the process of bonding, but it looks like he’s here to stay.

The shelter offered multiple male rabbits, saying to take them home, try them for 2 weeks, and repeat as needed, but we lucked out on the first try. ( thank god, cuz I cant keep stranger rabbits in my home for 2+ weeks at a time so my bunny can have someone to lick. I love her very much and I’m glad she chose a husband fast lol)

Here's what he looks like! :D

Decided to name him Dororo, for the intense trauma reaction to anyone and anything. He makes Silky very happy and has bonded with me enough to lick my face, so I’m quite happy with him. He won’t fill the hole in my heart that Mr. Scissors left (not that any bunny ever could), but he’s a great example of what a normal rabbit should be like, with no reoccurring health problems every 3 seconds. But because of Mr. Scissors’ impressive array of illnesses, I feel like I can tackle any sick rabbit (short of actual surgery) and help them, because he taught me so much about bunny health. The vet for Dororo asked me in a very serious tone if I was a doctor when we chatted briefly (BWHAHAha AS IF. I have a PHD in writing dick-touching-dick fanfics, that’s right.)

ANYWAY, that question shocked me, and then made me realize just how much I went through with Mr. Scissors.

 Thank you again for reading my works, reaching out to talk with me on discord, Instagram, tumblr, because your kind words really helped me and my darling sick bun in my times of need, and I don’t know where I’d be without all of your support and friendship. This fandom is awesome, and I’m repeatedly astounded by how kind people can be.

Thank you, thank you…thank you!

Keroro♀ genderbend headcanons Pt.1

-Girl Keroro just as selfish and greedy as male Keroro but hides it in fear of her reputation and looks due to the expectations from everyone as the one wearing the keron star and the leader unlike male!Keroro. She kind of just grew up to be insecure of herself since all of people practically know her as her father was a great figure in the past and she thinks everyone expects her to be one as well (even though they weren't)

-She is more sinister and scary. Inheriting her mother's personality and her father's strength she's very lovely, reserved and polite but she could kill you if you did a wrong move because she's always on edge as a leader. She rarely argues, is more level headed and patient from getting used to Giroro's temper and Dororo being so weak and slow in the past.

-She is still much kinder, hardworking and intelligent which she had become after first entering the war with Giroro and Dororo, learning about teamwork and looking after each other, helping her understand about being just being nice to everyone more and how rewarding it is to be diligent as a soldier. Ever since, she worked and studied even harder than she already was to become a good leader and friend for Giroro and Dororo.

-Trained and learned how to battle and fight as well, thinking Sergeants were useless if they didn't know how to fight themselves and depended on their soldiers and ended up pretty good at using sabers and guns. She had high expectations of herself too, that it ended up making her tired out but even though she wants to rest, her fear of disappointing anyone made her continue to work more.

-Naturally she was already a pretty strong, kind and scary person from the start as a child despite looking very lovely and angelic, being a social butterfly and loved by everyone at her school. She liked making friends too which was how she met Giroro and Dororo, and was so protective of them from anyone who always ended up respecting her in fear whenever they run into her.

She was really kind and gentle to Dororo because he was the most nicest as well, even though she was originally going to be friends with him because he was rich but she still often liked to lightly tease him and Giroro a lot by scaring them with spooky stories when she has the chance to. Dororo loves her dearly as his precious friend and is very protective of her like Giroro as she was the first friend he ever had and she was the only one who listened to his words and noticed him.

-She may appear like a doll but she's actually a tigeress. She trains soldiers very well and is a really great commander in the battlefield, yet so harshly and hisses at them with fangs scarily so no one would take her lightly all because she looked cute, earning her the nickname 'the deadly empress'. Everyone was so afraid of her but they still admired her as she comforted scared soldiers during wars without any shame, as her heart ached for them since she also gets scared often in battles.

-Giroro and Zeroro had crushes on her even until the present day. Giroro liked her because of the way she made being strong look so lovely, charmingly. Zeroro liked her because she was the only one who would listen to him and protect him, admire how hardworking she is and loves how always kind she is despite being so powerful like a heroine.

-She dated Giroro and Dororo before but ended up in good terms just as friends even though the two boys still loved her--Giroro a bit secretly, pretending they're just friends and Dororo being more open and willing about it. Keroro is still very affectionate with Dororo compared to Giroro who acts all blushy and tsundere whenever she shows it to him, so she doesn't do it.

-As she doesn't like feeling intense all the time, Keroro doesn't treat her platoon like soldiers but just as friends like Giroro and Dororo, trusting them and even letting them lead missions as well--putting them before anything because she admires each of their skills and potential that everyone appreciates her ways of leading (she only did it to make herself appear more greater but it had made her feel good in a way so she ends up glad that she chose to do that).

-She doesn't feel comfortable with Tamama's closeness on her but she still finds him cute like a young soldier and treats him nicely--the same with Kururu who she thinks is creepy and weird but likes how great he is in their platoon and work, respecting him and his peculiar sense.

-Is absolute best friends with Pururu, since they're both gals in the army, they often have each other's back and talk to each other when they need a girl-to-girl talk or make fun of the boys in the team. Keroro actually had a little crush on her because of how beautiful and cool Pururu looked in her eyes even though she was pretty and cool herself as well.

-But she never knew anything about what everyone thought of her because she never showed she was insecure and suffered to the present despite everyone having so much high praises of her. When her parents and friends say how great she is at her studies or how beautiful she looks, she just dismisses it as that's what parents and friends would say out of being nice, and it isn't true.

-Also befriends Zoruru, being the first one to notice him. He ends up crushing on her as well and becoming friends with Zeroro, making less resentful of Dororo. When they separate because he goes to train under Jirara's arm and she had to go training in army school, they sent each other letters and Zoruru still treated her friendly as the same as before, not minding her affection like hugs. In fact he likes it while pretending not to.

-He was actually part of their platoon with special permission from the Keron HQ to have another person in the platoon until one day Garuru came and asked Keroro if he could recruit Zoruru in his team with interest about him. For some reason Dororo and Zoruru wasn't in good terms so she decided to have Zoruru himself decide, and surprisingly, he did just to get away from Dororo at least. As a small parting, she gave him a lucky charm to keep close much to Zoruru's shyness and he gave her one he made himself to return the gesture.

-She learnt how to manipulate people into making them think she's a good and talented person or make people feel sorry for her so she wouldn't worry about disappointing anyone but ends up turning into a good person at the end which she finds pretty funny.

-She ends up being the one with the scar on her eye after protecting Giroro during an argument in a battlefield and while telling her she shouldn't have done that, he's felt so surprised guilty as a friend despite fighting that day and ever since has treated her gently compared to everyone else. Whenever he sees the scar on her eye, he sort of crumbles inside with sympathy since she had a pretty face.

-So because of the expections, she actually succeeds in invading earth after finding Giroro, Tamama, Kururu and Dororo and made their base in a remote island instead of the hinata house quickly. And when she wins all the admiration and proudness from everyone, that is when she feels all the efforts she made was worth it and even gets upgraded from being a sergeant to a commander. But instead of thinking she could rest, she only thinks she has to do better now and works even harder.

-She has a whole fanclub and statues of her around Keron planet in pride (though she doesn't know what to feel about the fanclub), and her parents are all so proud of her, mostly her father going around and showing her off with a picture of her in his wallet which makes her so happy that her father is proud of her and trusts her even though she was a girl.

-She can still cook amazing home meals and great at making the house look so clean as its what she liked to do to help her mother. She often made food as a child to give it to Pururu, Giroro and Dororo to eat which she still does until now, And Pururu appreciates the healthy food she makes for her skin and body, often being too busy to make any meals.

-She actually liked to play the piano and cook meals as a hobby before (she doesn't like anything deemed boy-ish so gunpla is out of the picture), that she's really good at singing and performing but now she rarely does it now. Wanting to provide the best, she now just sits at her office and works without breaks or sleep, and trains her platoon everyday. Coffee has become her fuel and constantly has dark under eyes which she covers with makeup.

-Giroro and Keroro have a nicer relationship because Giroro appreciates her skills a lot since she has also helped make him climb up the rank as well and rarely ever fights with her due to her nature to settle things calmly and he kind of learns from her as he admires her, knowing the sacrifices she made over the years. Keroro respects his fiery temper and soldier way, taking it as his style instead of thinking he needs to relax with laziness and infuriating him that way.

-Because she managed to invade earth, Giroro doesn't actually get to meet Natsumi and Dororo doesn't change to being nice. She makes humans into slave soldiers and has Giroro in charge of leading them and lets Dororo make his own ninja clan with humans. Kururu is in charge of hacking through all systems in the world to keep things in check while Tamama watch over the earth.

-It's not exactly seemingly great than normal but they at least conquer earth and make their dream come true just like that. Natsumi and the others end up as brainwashed soldiers while the platoon become rich and upgrade higher in their rank. But I could imagine Natsumi somehow break out of her brainwash and attack Giroro who falls for her. Keroro wouldn't return earth to normal for her own glory but for Giroro she would allow Natsumi to stay unbrainwashed.

-Giroro would probably ask Keroro to release Fuyuki and Aki as well in Natsumi's request who was feeling lonely without her family but not wanting anymore humans, she would put down that idea until Natsumi gets mad and Keroro almost kills her in warning that she lucky enough to be let alive with a collar to keep her tracked. Natsumi ends up crying and lashing out at Giroro who feels guilty that he couldn't do anything to convince her.

-Keroro would ask Giroro if he had lost his mind as an invader and reminded him what could happen if the Keron HQ found out, making him feel more on edge and find things difficult. She would find Giroro and his crush being an annoying obstacle to the earth invasion, even pondering how to make him fired until she realized what she's thinking and feel guilty as his friend.

-Other then that, Giroro thinks she's crazy for working 24/7 and yells her to take breaks or she'd kill herself, trying to drag her out of her office but always end up failing incredulously from her willingness to finish work. Dororo and Tamama also plead her to stop working but she still doesn't listen due to her habits (since when he was younger, he learnt to act sort of manipulative to make her feel guilty and get her closer to him like a yandere). But it doesn't always work and that is when Mois and Pururu comes in.

The boys would always ask the girls to force Keroro out of her office to go shopping or go out to special places to get her to finally rest and take a breather. Everytime Pururu comes to do a health check up on everyone, Keroro's health is so bad the medic gets so livid and scolds at her as her body is so burnt out and is always so low on iron, blood pressure....etc. from only working all the time. Keroro ends up sitting there in shame while being reprimanded while everyone else sighs/is concerned. But too bad she's married to her job.

Depending on your muse, this verse can either take place in a) canon one piece verse, or b) during the  Muromachi Period of Japan, albeit in a fantasy setting to explain the non-Japanese names, much like the anime dororo itself.  The basic themes and role Robin has is the same.

one piece universe: Ohara burns in flames, but Robin isn’t so lucky as to escape this time.  Taken by the World Government and into the heart of Pangea itself, she is tortured and stripped of her humanity - her eyes, limbs, vocal chords, ear drums, even the skin on her face.  It’s only when Fisher Tiger comes to liberate the slaves of Mariejois that someone rescues her.  After being dropped off at Fishman Island and left to ‘heal’ by Queen Otohime’s side (amongst numerous assassination attempts on her life by fishmen), Robin learnt to live through one reason and one reason alone; vengeance, and to regain her humanity, one part of her at a time.

muromachi period japan-inspired universe: literally just dororo but replace hyakkimaru with robin - except.  Instead of being an offering to the devils by her parents, Robin, as a baby, is taken in by the local warlord and offered to the Divine Gods in exchange for the oncoming war to avoid their homeland.  Years later, Robin is on a quest to slay spirits/angels/devils and regain her humanity, that she never had.  

but how can robin communicate and how can I write her if she has no senses or limbs?  good question!

She’s put together like a doll, with swords for limbs and prosthetics for her eyes, and a mask for her face.  She slowly regains parts of her body over time as she defeats demons, in the second version of the verse, or as she defeats those who harmed her/Ohara, in terms of the first version.  Edgy, I know.  But I’m the king of edge.  Anyway, that’s the AU.  

Leave a ❤ if you would like to rp it with me!  I’ll go into your dms and yell at u.  or if you’re on the discord, feel free to @ me!

Excerpt:

"It's sake," says Tahomaru, and tries very hard not to think about this being the first time his brother has had alcohol. "It will help with the pain."

Hyakkimaru hesitates, and then nods. He drinks again. When the first cup is empty, he accepts a second, and a third.

By the fourth, he is lax and pliant; his jaw is not so tight with the pain, and Tahomaru settles him back against the futon. Hyakkimaru's eyes, dark and sightless, track vaguely toward him.

"Why," says Hyakkimaru.

The word is soft around the edges from the lost blood and the alcohol, but it has the same inflection as the last time he asked.

Tahomaru doesn't know the answer, still.
