[oonajaeadira]

im trying to not with that outfit but I can't

a cardigan, a high hip cut cardigan at that, is an accent piece, not the whole top, am I appreciating the low cut of the undershirt? yes, but I cannot with the rest of it.

THAT CARDIGAN IS TOO SMALL AND IT IS SUFFERING THE MAN IS TOO BROAD

the pants are... fine?... I certainly think he looks better with more form fitting pant legs, his silhouette is very boxy. not like, Max in WW84 boxy but it feels close to me.

so i think, with the right top the pants would be salvageable, the cardigan... undo the bottom two buttons, a nice dark undershirt, and form fitting pants, I'd still have questions, but they'd prob be fewer

I'm gonna apologize for the old lady I will some day become because if I'm sitting on my porch and someone walks by wearing that? I can just hear my cranky old self. "This world's goin' to shit."

WARNING: Do not read more. Adira's gonna go flip some tables.

Transcript: Begin rant.

Listen. I woke up to that monstrosity and had to go to an online meeting and engage for two hours on very little sleep. I went and took a nap and I'm still fkn cranky about it.

No. You know what? I'm REALLY fkn cranky about it. Like, it feels like a personal attack.

I also need to apologize to everyone who has felt this way over Fabio's choices lately. I feel your pain. But I actually love his style and that he keeps our boy comfy and whimsical and up to date (because, let's face it, left to his own devices, Pedro is a teenage boy). I mean, I didn't exactly love the pants for the wine event, but let's not get into that. I got over those. Because you know what? Pedro looks good in everything.

Or so I thought until this morning.

When I woke up from my nap I actually groaned. Not because my back fkn sucks but because I knew this outfit was still out there. That it had happened. That someone whose job it is to dress people found the most beautiful man on earth and did that to him.

How do you pick four colors and not have any of them compliment each other???? And then pick four BLOCK colors, no patterns, but all different fabric textures? And then choose a sweater that's made from something so shiny and synthetic that I can hear it creaking every time it stretches over his shoulders? Like, that's the kind of shit they can't sell at Kohls so they take it off the racks and put it in clothing subscription boxes and try to convince people that "it's not ugly, it's just new and hip and so fashion forward you're not used to it yet." If it caught fire it wouldn't even burn, just melt into a bubbling pool and then cool into a puddle of silly putty.

No.

*screams into a smushmallow*

You know, I'm gonna scoot past the fit of the pants and their zoot-suit pleats and their droopy cuffs and forgive them just so I can concentrate on that sweater. Don't put him in that color!!!! Boy has beautiful undertones and can wear just about anything and you picked the one fkn color that makes him look like an abomination!!!

*throws an arm over my eyes like a drama queen except really not ironically*

There are so many crimes happening here and on a not so cranky day I'd mostly just feel protective that she made him look terrible oh mah gahhhhh

But it's a cranky day. And someone that works in the fashion industry thinks it's okay to pair camel shit plastic with Heinz 57 Stray Cats. If that's what's coming of the runways these days give me two spoons and I'll remove my own damn eyeballs my own damn self--

*takes a deep sigh. tries to forget the pain. lies in an agonized heap*

Did you know edibles are legal in Minnesota now? Yeah. The dems put it on a bill with a bunch of other great stuff and the republicans in the state house didn't read it and signed it into law. It was really great. That was a good day. Legalized gummies.

I'm gonna go get some. BRB.

[myblueeyedwolf]

I translated the things guys say on the apps into what they actually mean (this has been my Growlr bio for years)

"thanks" = I appreciate the compliment but there's no mutual interest

“You're handsome” = I would fuck you

“Hey” = Random fuck?

“Let's hangout” = Let's fuck

“Let's get a drink” = Let's fuck

“Let's have dinner” = Let's fuck

“Vers” = Let's fuck I'm a bottom

“DDF” = Let's fuck bareback

“Pics?” = Let's fuck but I need to see how big you are first

“TTYL” = My boyfriend just got home let's fuck later

“Let's fuck” = I'm just leading you on

“PRIVATE MEDIA HAS BEEN UNLOCKED” = Hi, I kinda read your profile, I just think that even though you would not be interested in me due to the fact that I'm skinny, and you like big men, maybe showing you my backdoor gaping maw would magically tickle your fancy. Also, I live 5000 miles away, let's Skype!

"Could be learning to bottom but not very experienced" = I am a very dirty fudge packed bottom who has no clue about cleaning my ass - and can't wait to get my dirty business all over your crotch

"Just checking things out..." = My breeder friends/girlfriend/wife does not know that I'm gay. But I will suck off anyone that can get here in five minutes

"Wow, you're perfect marry me" = I already have two boyfriends who don't know about each other

"Cool" = I am bored chatting with you but it would be rude to not reply to your last message

"Awww you're too sweet" = Stop being so sweet, I'm not that into you

"You could have anyone you want" = You could have anyone you want, just not me

"Any more pics?" = I found some of your pics attractive and I was repulsed by others so I need more to make a decision

“Are you guys open?” = I’d like to fuck you but your partner is gross

"Can you host?" = I have a partner who doesn't know I cheat on him

"Happily partnered to the nicest guy in the world just looking for friends" = My man's on here and I'm trying to get some on the side

"PS I don't have time for drama in my life" = OMG OMG OMG, gurrrrrrrrrl! I am only & all about & all over/under/inside my anus with dramaaaaaaa! Tell me dirt, everyone hates me, gahhhhh everyone is so rude, where did you go, what the hell, bye Felicia. Felicia? WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME?!?!?

"sup?" = I'm about to ask you for money

"I love your beard" = Do you eat ass?

AWW WTF TOKYO MIRAGE SESSIONS MADE ME FEEL ACTUAL FEELINGS

Its kinds stupid how every single girl has a contrived 'go on a fake date' scene with protag, and all the dialogue choices are pointless cos even if you fuck up and act like an asshole forever all these girls will still wanna jump your dick just cos youre the protag. And also it sucks that like HALF OF THE PARTY only joins super close to the end of the main story, and you wont really get to know them very well unless you go nah to the apocolypse and waste 10 hours doing sidequests. And it also sucks that you have to unlock these sidequests via battling. Like it could have been cool that using people in your party raises their friendship stat, but in practise it just means grinding for hours after youve finished all the actual story content. Like sidequests are supposed to be generally a good way to grind up in between story!

ALSO theoretically the date with Eleonora SHOULD be just as bad as the rest. Like it sounds super shitty that she has to 'learn how to be a normal girl in love' in order to progress her career in showbiz, and apparantly she's never been interested in boys before protag shows her ~the real way~ Like man invoking unfortunate implications of LGBT conversion therapy isnt a good way to start a romance! And its rather repetitive when EVERYONE ELSE also has to go on fake dates with him, and Kiria also has the same 'i need to learn how to be Real Girl from your magical healing dick'. But its even more frustrating with her cos it actually literally is You Are Not Girl.Enough, and it came out of NOWHERE because she wasnt remotely tomboyish?? Like she's just..tough?? Tomboy = being stoic while also wearing super revealimg supermodel high heels and lingerie in battle, apparantly. And its so patronizing cos she's all uwuuuu protagoniiiist i need to be giiiirl~ Like super cutesy moe moe stereotype all of a sudden and of course it was her Real Personality and she was just keepinh it hidden because of all that societal pressure to be gender non conforming, of course! Help her embrace her true stereotypicality and cast away those absolutely minimal traits of non conformism! And then a creepily sexualized scene of her wearing a hello kitty mascot suit in a kids show. And speaking of which its so creepy they sexualize the actual kid too!! Theres a fucking ELEVEN YEAR OLD idol! And her manager 'uncle barry' keeps acting like a creepy pervy stalker fan and she's always all 'i love uncle barry he cares about me so much' and theres like multiple sidequests all about how uncle barry is great and she needs to appreciate him more. But serioisly are we just forgetting he was creeping over a keychain of her?? Like he was introduced so much before we ever saw her and from the pervy way he acted i thought she was meant to be some full grown woman in a gravure show rather than a goddamn 11 year old doing a microwave snacks cooking show with a muppet called microwave chan. And gahh when i saw her design i thought she was 15 at least! And everyone else looks in their 20s but apparantly theyre all underage too and the one who looks like an actual teenager is ELEVEN! they just casually drop in her profile that she's ELEVEN! a guy is perving on an eleven year old and we're meant to appreciate him more as a wholesome uncle???

...man..okay.. Anyway..

The game has a lot of creepy pervy moments BUT one bit in Eleonora's final date did make me feel a minor bit of genuine chemistry there. Or well, just a good romance dialogue from herand still zero personality or likeability from the actual protagonist. Alas!

Ok so it actually kinda sounds just as bad, tho. Out of context the idea of 'here's a quiz about everything we did in the previous dates' sounds kinda abusive. But in context its somehow adorable and wholesome?? Cos Ellie is the tsundere type, but she's one of the least assholish tsunderes ever. If the game wasnt constantly being all 'SHES SO RUDE AND UNGIRLY' and 'BLABLABLA RACISM' at her, i'd even say she's the most naturally written and likeable character! So in the context here its less "i will punish you for not being constantly the perfect boyfriend" and more "i genuinely cant believe you actually like me and im trying to run thru all the evidence in rapid fire while i have a conniption right here". Like man i wish protag had more personality cos its so annoying that he's super oblivious to her going into massive blush mode as she realizes he's ~so considerate and genuinely treasured all those dates~. Except he isnt, he's bland as fuck and gave no indication that he returned her feelings before now, or gave a shit about any of the stuff he apparantly remembered. And he only remembers because you the player did. And you can forget it all and get every question wrong and NOTHING CHANGES! i feel so sorry for her cos even if protag is a big douche she still decides he really does love her and it ends exactly the same.. GAHHHHH

POOR ELLIEEEEeee

So man even tho it was badly executed, i do still like the idea of a "w-wh-whaa, how can you love me?! Prove it with a 5 page thesis!" type moment with an adorkable grump! I might try and work in something similar with my oc Gremory! :3 (tho for him itd be a friendship/family version, not dating sim)

As Promised...

I rewatched the episode this evening and quickly typed out my rereactions in chronological order. Please like this post if you’d want to see it again next week. It’s probably slightly messy, because I’ve never done something like this, but it was fun, and it’s a good insight into my inner monologue. I’ll also get better as the season goes on. Ik I love reading stuff like this on other people’s blogs. 

Overall, I liked the episode. It was slightly underwhelming, because we already knew most of what happened, but it was cute, and I’m excited for the story this season. (and, as someone who has never actually said or believed this before: It really is Our year Blarkes!)

·       Clarke looking at maps, nice callback to s1, #1 earth skills student

·       “at least I don’t have to swim” I didn’t think about the fact that she was at Becca’s house, the ocean dried up, makes sense

·       She’s so freaking pretty I’m sorry wow

·       I always assumed she wouldn’t even try to dig up the bunker until after 5 years, I didn’t realize she’d try to join them at all

·       I’m wishing we saw some of her first moments/days after praimfiya

·       Is it a coincidence that the rubble collapsed after she looked at Lex.a’s throne? I think not lol.

·       “how the hell am I gonna make it 5 years?” they did a good job conveying how hopeless her situation seems, and how long that time really is when you’re alone

·       MAYA AND JASPER ghfbgrkeu I’m so sadd, I’m sooo glad she’s getting to mourn

·       I hope Monty gets to read his letter

·       “realll cheerful clarke, ignore me” loll this cracks me up, so relatable, coping humor

·       “I’m proud of you” *insert sobbing* she thinks she’s gonna die, she Loves him

·       These landscapes are really cool!

·       Her eyes are so blue

·       Idk who she’s thanking for the rain, but I love seeing her smiling at the little things abt earth such as rain, it’s a lot like s1 really when they breathed real air for the first time and the delinquents celebrated the first rain

·       The radiation storms remind me of acid fog in s1 too, I wonder if they’ll continue to be a thing, probably not after 6 years I guess

·       SO the solar panels are destroyed, why does the rover work later in the episode? I’m kinda confused about that

·       Sidenote: the wandering through the desert reminds me of Holes

·       It’s really difficult to watch Clarke breaking down like this, but how much she’s fought thus far shows us that she really does want to survive deep down, it’s just hard

·       Is it weird that I smiled when she killed the bird? I strangely enjoy going back to the basics of survival, finding resources, again, like s1. I had missed that aspect of earth being just earth, nature in its purest form, beautiful and terrifying

·       She’s being reborn in the water <33

·       I love Madi’s little village, I hope they use a lot of that set

·       “God this would be so much easier if I knew you were alive, If I knew I was gonna see you again” GAHHHHH

·       “Positive thoughts Clarke,” gfeuwcvke I love it

·       I even missed Trigedasleng what even

·       Baby Madi is adorable and terrifying

·       It’s an interesting thought that Madi was trained to avoid the flamekeepers and that’s why she was never found, I love little details like this!

·       I would love hearing her talk more about her childhood and parents

·       Okay It’s great that Clarke’s using medical skills again, but she didn’t clean the wound, and she most def should have lost her leg from infection without sterile equipment

·       Madi in the window like a horror movie actually made me jump

·       How many times will they use the same tree shot from the pilot lmao

·       Clarke is lucky Madi didn’t stab her w/ that spear tbh

·       “child from hell” lollllllllllll

·       Clarke’s not the only one good w/ kids, I love how she left the drawing without saying Anything

·       She’s also hella good at manipulating people (in this case it’s in a good way)

·       Little Madi’s smile awwwww

·       Clarke looks so Good in her tank top and w/ the fish Madi taught her how to catch, she’s gonna have so many more Grounder skills now!

·       Still wondering how they fixed the rover

·       Also confused as to why Clarke wants Madi to speak only English (other than for the purposes of the show)

·       “Do you think they’ll come back too?” Because priorities <3

·       Triple G: Green’s green goop <3 + Make algae not war, Te Amo Monty

·       Emori being happy and joking w/ the others and being excited about spacewalks and defending her new friend Raven this is Everything

·       I’m also glad they made a system to avoid talking about the time, and considerate because of how hard this is on Raven

·       I was so surprised by the whole Murphy being separate from the group thing! But it makes sense. I still love him SO much. And despite him struggling a little bit rn he’s still a smiling adorable idiot

·       “you’re not worthless Murphy” SAY IT LOUDER FOR EVERYONE IN THE BACK

·       “We make decisions as a team here” Emori has grown so much I can’t

·       Dropship Parallelsssss

·       “All of them” Clarke’s first instinct = ALL the guns, Bellamy would be so proud

·       Madi hiding in the whole is a Clear Octavia parallel this is gonna be so Interesting

·       “Only choice” ((((ALSO AN OXYMORON BY THE WAY))))

·       Zeke is beautifuul and smart, ((((((((((JUST LIKE RAVEN REYES AHHHHHHHH))))))))))))

·       I wonder if we’ll learn more about the two other non-violent offenders

·       “for starters cause she’s a kid” GOOD REASON thx reasonable man, it’s unfortunate you died

·       “There are no good guys” a dangerous rhetoric to teach a kid Clarke, there might be consequences for that in more ways than one

·       Just let Monty be HAppY, he just wants to be safe and w/ the people he loves

·       I don’t really get Marper but I’m so glad she’s there for him

·       I love Raven and Emori friendship!

·       Murphy knows he done fed up something good he’s just too proud to deal w/ it rn

·       Murven <333 I’ll take them how I can get them, and I love that she doesn’t put up with his bs

·       Ik I’m supposed to be mad at bech.o but I love seeing Bellamy happy and hopeful and smiling and having someone there to support him (plus do yourself the favor of appreciating his kissing skills and imagining Clarke there)

·       Octavia looks terrifyingly beautiful oh my lands

Gadget:*In his thoughts* I can’t believe that I’m really Sonics partner,he even calls me partner to, so awesome!!😁 I’ve got to show Sonic that I can be just as cool as he is, even in doing small things as well. Maybe I can help do some of the other stuff at HQ...hmm...

Sonic:Hm? Oh hey partner,what are you up to?

Gadget:Huh!? O-Oh hey Sonic I was actually going to go help out around HQ for a bit since I don’t have any missions right now.

Sonic:Huh,even though your on break you still want to help out huh,nice partner,*Taps Gadgets shoulder* well I’d better help around to if your gonna do so on your break later! *Runs off*

Gadget:...😳 I...Haha...*Shakes his head* No! I got to help out time to get to work!

~Later~

Soldier:Agh!!! Dang it!

Sonic:Hmm? What’s up?

Soldier:Oh Sonic! Uhhh...I kinda got some mission files stuck at the top of that supply shelf and can’t get it down but the problem is with how the supplies are stacked if it shakes to much it could all fall then we’d have a big mess to clean up.

Sonic:No sweat, I’ll find a way to get those files down...without getting the supplies knocked over...😅

Gadget:Oh Hey Sonic you having trouble with something?

Sonic:Huh? Oh hey Gadget I’m trying to get some files that got stuck up there but with how the supplies are stacked if the shake a bit too much they’ll fall over and that would be a big mess to clean.

Gadget:I can help I can use my grappling hook to get to the top and grab the files.*Tail was a little in excitement*

Sonic:Perfect want me to give you a boost into the air?

Gadget:No don’t worry I got it, alright...here goes! *Jumps up and gets his hook attached to the ceiling*

Soldier:Now you just need to swing a little to get close enough to grab them!

Gadget:Got it! *Swings back and forth a bit and when he gets close enough he manages to grab the file* got it!

Sonic:Awesome!

Soldier:Yes! Thank you so much for your help!

Gadget:Alright better back up a bit don’t wanna accidentally kick you.

*Sonic and the Soldier back up and Tails runs into the room as Gadget tries to descend but his hook won’t move*

Tails:SONIC! Where’s Gadget!?

Sonic:Huh? Oh he’s up there he just got some files that got stuck at the top of that pile,why?

Tails:He was supposed to come see me so I can fix his malfunction problem with his hook!!

Sonic:Huh??

Gadget:GAHHHHH!!!😰 *Accidentally hits the pile from his hook malfunctioning and making him swing into it*

Soldier:Uh...

Tails:Oh...

Gadget:AAAAHHHH!!*Hook detaches And he falls*

Sonic:Gadget! *Jumps And catches Gadget* Gadget you Ok??

Gadget:Y-Yeah...I’ll be fine...

Soldier:The supplies are falling!

*Sonic carrying Gadget,Tails, and the Soldier, get clear from the falling supplies*

Soldier:Oh no...this will take forever to clean up...

Gadget:s-Sorry about that...

Sonic:well on the bright side none of the containers opened so we just gotta restack them.

Soldier:that is true..

Tails:We should get you to the infirmary Gadget you hit the pile pretty hard your leg is bruised also.*Points to Gadgets badly bruised leg*

Gadget:*Sigh* Ok..

Sonic:Don’t worry,we got the files back to him at least so that was still accomplished right?

Gadget:Right...

Soldier:Hold on a sec...*Inspects the supplies* amazing!

Sonic,Gadget,And Tails:Hmm?

Soldier:No wonder Gadget is as good as everyone says all of the wispons are stacked perfectly we don’t need to organize them into which wispon they are!

Gadget:...😳 I Did?

Sonic:Wow Awesome! Nice job Buddy!*Winks at Gadget since he’s carrying him*

Tails:Yeah it’s pretty tough to pull something like that off even if it was all luck.👍

Gadget:Hahaha,thanks.😊

Haikyuu:R/FY/N

Chapter 17                Chapter 18: School Afternoon              Chapter 19

“Hinata-kun, what happened?” One of the other boys asked the ginger volleyball player.

The boy in question picked up his head, looked at the questioner, and then flopped it back down, “ee koodit mee ar.”

“This morning he was so happy he could barely sit still, and now he is so depressed he can’t even form words..?” Another classmate asked, their concern evident.

Picking up his head, Hinata finally gave his friends a direct answer. “I didn’t get to see her during lunch. She suddenly stopped responding to me this morning. And, I don’t know why.”

The two boys were shocked, albeit grateful they finally knew what was going on with the kid.

“I’m sure everything is alright, Hinata-kun.”

“Right! Maybe your girlfriend just had to do something for a teacher or her club and didn’t get a chance to tell you?”

Putting his chin on the table, so that his empty eyes looked towards the front wall, Hinata could only release two words. “I wish.”

Kageyama sat in his seat like he had through lunch.

Thinking.

When he went to your classroom, you had already left. Which was disappointing, to say the least. He was further bothered by the fact that all of the first years had gone to see you. He figured it was fifty-fifty about what Hinata did, but Kageyama would never have guessed that Tsukishima would go out of his way to see you as well. However, it wasn’t surprising that Yamaguchi came since Tsukishima did.

So, Kageyama talked to Yachi while everyone else left the room.

He generally didn’t talk to the blonde. She seemed to be scared of him, and it always bothered him when people just judged him by his thinking face.

But the conversation was quite enlightening, and he was pretty sure that the girl saw him in a new manner.

At least he hoped.

He was grateful that she told him about you going to see the third years for your article. And, he hoped the advice he gave her in return helped in some manner.

Because if she was going to be his eyes and ears in class 1-5 to help him with you, then he would happily help her with her own thing.

Now, he just had to think of what he could do to help.

Tsukishima watched as his teacher handed out the class assignment.

Unfortunately, the sheet was basically a scavenger hunt around the school.

Fortunately, it was small group, and Yamaguchi had half the things on the list in his volleyball locker.

“Tsukki! We’ll finish this quickly, and then he can hang out. Right?” The green haired boy said as he approached the blonde.

Who nodded in return, “Good thing you’re so equipped for practically any situation.” He gave his friend a smirk and walked out of the classroom.

Before following behind him, Yamaguchi stood stock still. Completely surprised by his friend’s semi-compliment. He smiled and went to catch up.

“Oi, Tsukki.” He called, just reaching the blonde. “Where do you think (F/N)-sama went during lunch?”

Tsukishima’s blank face took on a deep scowl at the reminder. “Don’t know. Don’t care.”

He picked up his face. Yamaguchi knew Tsukishima was lying. Tsukishima knew he was lying. Neither said anything.

Just went on with completing the assignment.

Tanaka laid on his back, staring up at the sky. The clouds passing over where his eyes watched.

“GAHHHHH!” He screamed out, clutching his hand to his temples, and swinging the top half of his body up.

The fence around the roof rattled, “What!?” A shocked, frightened voice yelled back.

“Why can’t I remember which class she is in?!” The bald second year asked the other person.

Shaking his head, brown hair not losing its spike, “does it even matter? Lunch is over. We are missing class. She is never going to talk to me again because I couldn’t figure out why somewhat might care about school.” The boy lifted his hands in an exasperated manner. “Why school? Why not something cool, like, I don’t know…volleyball!”

Tanaka smiled at his friend. “We can always help grow her interest in volleyball…”

“Oi!” Nishinoya let a wide smile overtake his features, “Ossu.”

“Besides what do you mean we are missing class. We still got,” Tanaka looked at his phone. “Like, an hour.”

The shorter second year face-palmed. “Yea, until this class is over.”

Jumping up, “No no no…I can’t miss this…I have a quiz!” Tanaka took off from the rooftop.

Nishinoya just laughed at his taller friend’s actions, and took his place following the sky with his eyes, back against the floor of the rooftop.

Hisashi absentmindedly took down the notes that the English teacher wrote on the board.

Imagining how much better the class would be with you in it.

He was glad that none of the other boys were in your class, but he knows they wished the same thing he did. That you were in his class.

“Kinoshita Hisashi!”

The boy was brought out of his thought at the loud call of his name. “Yes, ma’am!” He said, standing.

“Restate what I just assigned the class for tomorrow.”

“Um,” He looked around him, looking eyes with a few classmates, just for them to turn away from him. “I’m sorry ma’am. I don’t know.”

“Pay closer attention.” The teacher ordered, before restating the homework assignment.

This time the second year made sure he knew what the teacher said and wrote it down word for word.

“So, I’m confused.” The jet black-haired boy stated. Calling the attention from both volleyball males. “From what I understood after talking with y’all in this morning’s class, I thought all of your teammates liked (F/N)-kun, but she says you all are just excited about the article. What is up?”

Hinnoshita and Narita just looked at one another.

“She doesn’t think we…” The seemingly tired second year began.

“Well, I guess no one has said anything?” The other brought up.

Michibiku shook his head before leaving the two volleyball players alone. Fed up with this whole situation, and just wanting school to be over so he could get details from you.

“So, what do we do?” Narita asked.

Hinnoshita shook his head, “I’m not sure. We’ll probably want to talk to Daichi about this. Hopefully before she shows up to practice tonight.”

“Oh right, Coach Ukai invited her to come see the joint practice and the practice matches…how do you think that will go?”

Pulling his hand through his hair, Hinnoshita Chikara released what felt like a heavy sigh. “I hope it goes well. I should be more nervous. It is Nekoma and Fukurodani, after all. But, all I can seem to think about right now is her.”

Nodding his head, Narita affirmed he thought the same way. “I say we let our minds do whatever they need to now, so we can focus better tomorrow for sure.”

Agreeing with his near-bald friend, the boy did just that. Letting his head wonder to thoughts of you.

While the other wondered what it’d be like to go out on a date with you.

Shimizu followed her classmates from 3-2 to 3-3.

When the teacher announced they were going to try something he had seen done in an American class…suffice it to say the girl was not the only one caught off guard.

Initially, some had been outspoken about not understanding why the class was going to attempt this. Others argued it would be a good experience since they already knew they wanted to go abroad and it could potentially help them connect with others.

Shimizu herself stayed quiet, although she agreed with her classmates in that she didn’t know why they were pairing with another class for a co-teaching lesson.

Walking into the class however, she saw Asahi and her eyes lit up. “I’m sorry Asahi-san. I forgot you were in this class.”

“Hey, Kiyoko.” The man-boy smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Want to sit here?”

The fair girl nodded her head and took the seat in front of the Ace.

While the teachers got situated, they allowed the two classes’ students to converse.

“So, how’d you like (F/N)-san?” Asahi asked, smiling as the team manager visibly stiffened. “I saw you two walk away from the gym together during lunch.” He explained.

Facing the team member, the dark-haired female shyly smiled. “She seems really nice. I’m glad that she’s so enthusiastic about this article on the volleyball club.”

“Not what I was thinking but okay. Yea, that makes sense.” The long-haired boy responded.

“What did you mean?” Shimizu asked, as she tucked a stray hair out of her face so she could look directly into her friend’s brown orbs.

He smiled at her and leaned back in his seat. “I’m sure someone told you that the whole team decided they had a thing for her.” When the girl didn’t respond, he continued. “So, what do you think of that now that you’ve not only met her, but have spent time with her.”

Asahi really wanted to know the other third year’s opinion on the matter. It had bothered him all night that all of the members of his club had fallen for the same girl. Let alone after just meeting her. Or the fact that the only interactions they’ve had with you were for your club. He really wanted to know if it seemed as crazy to anyone but himself.

“I can see why you guys might like her.” Smiling, she added, “At least, for you, Suga, and Daichi.”

As the man-boy stammered, trying to respond, the teachers called the classes’ attention back. Halting any conversations mid-way.

Suga looked across the room to his friend.

He knew they agreed to not talk about what happened during lunch again, but it was so hard not to think about it.

If you felt they let you down, Suga wouldn’t know what to do.

He would hate to make anyone feel like he let them down, and his ever growing feelings for you made that ideal even more important to him.

Would I even be able to focus on the joint practice with Nekoma tonight? Seeing you around the sidelines…not being able to explain that I didn’t just blow you off… What if you didn’t even let me explain?! Could I withstand knowing you would never look at me the same way you did yesterday??

The silver-haired co-captain bore his glare into the back of his team’s captain’s neck.

Daichi sensed the glare and knew Suga was over thinking what happened at lunch. The dark-haired boy just shook his head and ignored his co-captain. Opting to stick to his original plan and not think of the whole incident.

It was his idea to wait at the bench. So, it was his fault that they didn’t end up meeting with you.

Suga might feel responsible, but Daichi knew it was all on him. If for some reason you are hurt by what happened, or bothered by it in anyway, I’ll make sure you at least forgive Suga and Asahi.

Lifting his head, Daichi practically looked through the board in front of him. Still ignoring his best friend’s intense look.

“So, (F/N)-san.” Hitoka voiced, coming up next to you as you slowly packed up your supplies. “Are you heading over to the second gym? We can go together if you are.”

She smiled at you and you returned it, before shaking your head. “Thanks for the offer, but I have to do Newspaper Club stuff first. I’ll come by after though!”

The blonde girl gave you a quick nod before taking off to the gym on her own.

You finished packing up and walked out of your classroom.

Finding your way around campus, you took your time getting to your club room. Sure, you wanted to be in club, but you also didn’t want to deal with Michibiku’s questions. His interaction from lunch was still super fresh in your mind, and you didn’t know if you should believe him or not.

Why couldn’t the players be excited about an article being written about them? What was so unbelievable about that? Sure, I’m not some big name reporter, I don’t even have a big name here at this school, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get excited does it. You noticed your pace had completely stopped while you were lost in thought.

Walking faster, but still not paying attention you almost walked into the door.

“Geez, (F/N)-kun. Be a bit careful, osu?” Michibiku chided, pulling you back by your shoulders so your face didn’t hit the hunk of metal.

You just nodded and looked down.

Sighing, your friend answered your unasked question, “I won’t force you talk if you don’t want to.” Then he smiled and lifted your head by its chin. “And, I’m sorry if my comments at lunch made you uncomfortable. I forget we haven’t actually known each other for forever.”

Finally letting a smile coat your features, one you knew your co-club member appreciated, you told him you forgave him. “Besides, it’s not like there wasn’t one…or two…or…um…more…that maybe might quiet possibly seem a little bit, um, interesting…”

You let your ‘sentence’ soak in as you left your friend in the hall outside the club room. Disappearing before he got himself together and could bother you to say more on the matter.

a/n: Okay! So, I apologize that this wasn't put up yesterday and that it is sooooo late today. I'll tell you a little story.

When I posted Ch.17 I wasn't actually done with this one. So that was part of it. Another part was that yesterday, Sep. 1st, there was a thing happening on tumblr that I did in which I didn't sign on for the entire day in solidarity of basically trying to show the tumblr staff that we wont stand certain hate-groups not facing consequences for their actions. It was a big ole thing and so I didn’t post here. Then I also didn’t post on AO3 cause I didn’t want to screw things up in my head. Finally, today was my cousin's 8th birthday. And the little firecrackers that him, his sister, and their friends are...well let's just say it was a day. Then I came back home to write this/finish chapter 18 so I could get something to y'all.

Hope its good enough to make up for my small disappearance. Thanks for reading!

Still taking input for which character reader-chan will end up with!

[sapiophile-j]

Just maybe. (MC's POV • V)

The first time we met was not a good time. I'm a bit flustered to learn that you are real and that I'm not someone who is just fond of some game character.

We became more close after that. You're always checking up on me whether I'm fine or if there's anything I need. We became friends but never more than that. To say I expected something out of it, out from the way your treating me as someone so dearly to you, lead to disappointment. Yes, I have encouraged you. You are too broken and seems to be beyond repair. I have been patient, of course I am. Who can hate someone who just want to protect and make everyone happy even though he will not be. I told you nice and comforting words, you need it. I believed in you, you have to also. You've been through a lot and you need someone who can truly understands you. You are a very precious person to me, in just a short period of time you are able to captured my heart. Too bad I didn't capture yours.

You told the whole RFA that you want to reflect on everything that had happen and wanted to find your value. I'm happy, very. You are starting to let go, well, not all, but you have the courage now.

Everyone left the chat room. You too. I was sad but what can I do, it is for your betterment. You called me the same day, thanking me for the nth time saying I am your angel and that I've been a great 'friend'. Friend. There's a pang I felt in my heart. I did not dare to let you know about it though and wish you good luck on your about journey and you hung up.

I already expected this. I was prepared for this, aren't I? But why does it still hurts? Oh well, it's not like you are aware of my feelings towards you. Being able to spent time with you is more than enough for me. I was happy and everything seems like a bliss everytime. Thank you.

The chat room become quiet as everyone went back to their daily lives.

I have tried to distract myself to avoid thinking of you. After you told us your plan, we've lost communication with you. I lost contact with you. That's fine, I always say to myself. When was the last time that I felt something like this? I don't recall. I don't wanna.

---------

Weeks passed. Turned into months. And today marked the first year since I've last seen you. How are you now, Jihyun? Are you also thinking of me? Is everything okay? Why are you not contacting anyone from the RFA, even Jumin? A lot of thoughts are running through my head. I felt empty. When I first met you, I did not plan to fall for you nor did I plan to know you deeper than necessary. I never planned any of it but it happened. I let you occupy the space in my heart. It happened too fast that I was not able to stop my self from the pit of what you call love. At first I thought it is just pity. You were hurt after all and your fiancee was the cause. You ate broken, you loved her. I saw passed your smile, your every 'I am fine' and 'I am okay'. I saw everything. I saw how you changed, little by little. Maybe that is the time when it all started. Maybe because you depended on me that I start to care for you more that what I should have, more than a friend should have and I didn't noticed it myself until Jumin commented that we look good together and the way your cheeks turned to a shade of pink that I lost it but of course, it is not the right time. We know. We are both very much aware of it but I was happy everytime the RFA notices our closeness. My heart just swells with happiness. And from then on, I told myself, I will always be by yourside, every step of the way until you get back to your feet. Yes, I remember but I cannot do that when I am expecting something from you, right? That is just wrong. I debated with myself if I will confess to you before you go on your soul-searching but decided against it.

Now, maybe I need to let go. The thought of you. Your smile, your laugh, and your eyes. Those sad eyes that captured my attention, the same eyes that seeks affection and true love. Most specially, I need to let go of you, Jihyun. I just hope that you will find your true happiness. Please, be happy, you deserve it more than anyone else. You've been selfless for your own good that it causes toxic event and people to happen. I know you can do it, Jihyun. I know because I love you. I will not ask for more but for your life to be better. Yes, that will be enough for me. I will still love you though, but this time, I will make sure to guard my heart. I will continue to love you just like how I love the rest of the RFA members. A friend.

Months pass and it's almost Christmas that the RFA decided to hold again another party. The first after what happen. After Jumin secured Rika and made sure that she will get the help that she needs and that she won't be a threat again to the organization.

How long has it been? How long since I have joined this organization and got to meet the amazing people called the RFA. I admit, at first I thought it was an organization of the misfit. How can I not after all the drama? I remember Seven who laughed so hard when he heard 'my thought'.

"You do realize that you just said it out loud, yes?" He said while clutching his stomach, rolling on the floor.

Jumin smirk but smiled when I looked at him confused, Yoosung looked so awkward, and Zen just placed his arm on my shoulder and said, "Jagiya, you are part of this misfit organization, may I remind you?", and he seemed to enjoy the embarrased look on my face. Jaehee just smiled and say to not mind them.

Thinking about it now, I never knew I can be that brave. I smiled to myself. Virtual pat to myself, you the gal! My phone vibrated indicating a notification I received. It was from the messenger. Looks like Seven created something extraordinary again and he is bombarding Jumin with a lot of proposals. When I say a lot, I mean it. We are talking about Seven after all, but each got declined by Jumin, finding his idea atrocious. I decided to join in on the fun.

"Hi, guys! I missed you all!!! ❤"

707: oh, it's MC!!!! Help me convince Jumin

Me: I see you haven't given up, Sae. Persistent as ever. Haha. Kewwtt. ^_^

Jumin: I already said no and that will not change. MC, how are you? Tell me if you need anything regarding the party preparation.

Me: of course Jumin. Thank you. How's the cat project? I'm sure Jaehee is frowning at this moment. Haha.

707: I am kewwtttttt! I am 7-0-7 the defender of justice at day and god at night!

*V entered the chatroom*

Entered the chat room is V. I wanted to say I missed him. God, I wanted to say a lot of things after I saw that you logged in. It's been so long that we haven't heard from you. I wanted to call you, I wanted to hear your voice but then I remembered my place. I am just your friend. The first thing you asked is how's Rika. Jumin answered you, Seven left the chat room, he still cannot lforgive Rika after what happen to his brother, I understand him. You and Jumin talked a little more on the chat room still about Rika before you left saying you have to be somewhere. It's been so long, Jihyun, and all you still care is Rika. She's one lucky girl to have you. Yes, just now I realized that it is still her that holds your heart though you said that you will let her go. I cannot compete with that. I cannot compete with someone who has a lot of memories you shared with, though in my opinion, most of them is bad, and still you cared. You care for her.

I am feeling overwhelmed. You have not ask for me in the chat room, maybe you don't notice that I was also there? Ha. Haha. I'll give you the benefit if the doubt. I was the last message there though. It hurts. Jihyun, it hurts. All she gave you was pain but until now you can't still let go. Jihyun.

With one last heavy sigh, I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes without my permission. Unrequited. Yes, that is my love for you, the one I am expriencing. I tried. I swear I tried to move on from the fantasy that I myself buried in but with just one chat conversation, I lost it. I can't. I will not be able to move on from you if I am surrounded by the things and people that reminded me of you. I know I am being irrational due to my emotions over flowing but I let myself dig in. Please, just this one. I have to let myself cry. I deserve this I think. I need this. I cried, I cried while reminscing the memories I shared with you, those were precious. I cried everything, maybe I'll be able to think straight after and decide. With my eyes red and puffed because of crying and a heavy heart, I drifted to the darkness.

------------

"Mc, are you alright?"

I was back to reality after seeing Seven's hand waving very near to my face. I swat his hand playfully and asked him what is he asking me again.

"Gahhhhh!!!! You are not listening to god seven!!!! *Insert 7's cute face her* I am saying that everything has been prepared for the party and Zen is already calling us from the kitchen, it's lunch and we cannot upset the food!"

I laughed. When was the last time I did? The party is tomorrow and the RFA decided to have a mini gathering at Zen's house to also have a Christmas party. I can here their bantering from here, Zen and Jumin. I shake my head, as always, those two cannot agree for once. I walked in the kitchen with Seven. Zen is almost red because of his rage and Jumin is as cool as the lemonade he has. I sit down beside Jumin and his attention is shifted to me, "Have you heard from V?" I stiffen on my sit for a moment before I turned to him and told him a simple no. Jumin being Jumin no longer pry. He know, after the conversation he had with V which I left after, that I am not comfortable to talk about him. That's what I like about Jumin, he can pick up without any words. I'm thankful. The lunch finished peacefully with Zen not strungling Jumin's head.

~

The day went by rather fast. Catching up with them feels great. I flopped on my bed exhausted when someone texted me. It was Jumin. "I'm sorry about earlier and about V. That was insensitive of me that I forgot you are also there. My apologies. See you tomorrow at the party. I should also thank you for your hard work and making this party happen. Have a good night, MC."

"It's okay, Jumin. See you." I replied. I tossed my phone on my bed. I'm just tired. No need to cry, I told myself as I feel a hot liquid threatening to fall. I blink it away. I took a shower and went to bed. Tomorrow will be my first party as an official member of the RFA. With this thought, darkness took over me.

-----------

The party is in full swing now and Jaehee is preparing the photos that we are going to auction. V's photos. Entertaing guests are tiring than I expected. I am standing at the corner with a champagne on hand, watching people dance. Maybe it's a nice feeling to sway to the rhytm with a person you love. I smiled bitterly. Though we have V's photo to be auctioned, V himself is not here. Did I expect him to be here? Yes. I thought he will be here. Just two months to go and it will be 2 years since I last saw him. Might I add the lack of communication. Oh, it is actually none at all. To say I feel rejected is an understatement, but hey, I'm still trying my very best to get use to it.

I stared blankly, not looking to any in particular. All of the members are busy as the auction is about to start. They no longer need me for this as they said, I've done a lot already, and said that I should just enjoy myself. I was lost in my own world when someone spoke.

"You look pretty. You always are."

I froze. Is my loneliness that deep that I am hearing his voice. I muster my sweetest smile to greet the person and he smile. He smiled at me, the most sweetest may I add. Infront of me is the same blue orbs I learned to adore, the same blue locks that I missed. The same person I have been longing for. "Jihyun." I breathe his name.

"MC. It's been so long, hasn't it? Yiu haven't changed at all."

I don't know what to say. Should I say hi? I missed you? How are you? I am lost. Again. Lost in those eyes. What am I feeling right now? I am happy that he is in font of me but then I remember everything. No, I am not special, well not the special I am expecting. I am happy but I am hurting at the same time. I feel a lump at my throat. No. I can't, I can't face him right now.

"I'm sorry but can you excuse me, Jihyun? I'm really not feeling well but welcome back!" I tried to sound enthusiastic as possible and when I passed him, he grab my arm and what is that emotion in his eyes? Is that sadness? Regret? But why?

"Jihyun, is there something happened? Why do you look sad? Do you want to talk about it?" Shit. Shit. Shit. Just with that eyes, I lost my composure. I lost the little courage I gathered to move on. Before I can comprehend the words came out from me, Jihyun hugged me, burying his face in the crook of my neck. I'm speechless.

"I missed you. I missed you that you can't imagine how patient I am to not return right away. I missed you that I am thinking about you everyday. I want to give my all to you once I came back, that was my plan. I endured everything while thinking of you. I don't want to disappoint the only person I treasured the most. God, I missed you!" I can feel my tears building up. "Jihyun..." He let go from the hug and holds my hand. He looked at me deep in the eye as if trying to read what is on my mind.

"I'm sorry." He look so sad. Don't be please. "I know that I have not contacted you all this time. I'm sorry if it seems that I have taken you for granted. I'm sorry if it seems that I cared for Rika more than I cared for you. Jumin told me. I'm sorry. You can hate me, you can hate me all you want but please hear me out." He wiped the tear that escaped my eye. He is so sad that I know that he will blame himself for what I am feeling right now.

"No, Jihyun. I can not hate you. I can't do that. It's not your fault. It's mine alone. I am aware how dangerous it will be but I still wished that you can and you will reciprocate it. Not because of gratitude but because you also feel the same. How dare I. Haha..." I trailed. At this point, my tears are non stop. Good thing that we are at the corner and V's towering figure shielded me fron the guests' view. Jihyun smile again, a soft one and he kissed my forehead and hug me again.

"It is not your fault and it is not something I would give out of gratitude. I learned already, haven't I? I was afraid before that I cannot admit it to myself. Afraid that I might experience the same thing if I rush it. I'm sorry for being coward." V whispered in my ear. His voice is so sweet. "No. Don't be sorry. You've done the right thing." I muttered through his chest. He sigh, a heavy one.

"I want to be happy. I have found my passion. The only reason I asked for Rika is to make sure that she will no longer be a threat to your safety. I know her very well that it scares me thinking she will hurt you to get back to me. I almost figured everything but there is one more thing that is missing..." I lift my head to look into his eyes, confused. "...you. You are the missing piece in my puzzle and if you don't hate me, may I ask you to be my girlfriend?" He is looking at me expectantly, those eyes that seems to be begging but also is full of love.

"Will a 'No' be an option?" I teased. He smiled sweetly and said 'no'. He kisses me and it felt like a dream that I am afraid to wake from. We are separated by our name being called out. It is Seven. Grinning from ear to ear. All the people applaused and all seems to be very happy and smiling. I am so embarrased but so happy that knowing that this is no longer a unrequited love, that he felt the same.

Apparently, the auction was interupted because of us and while we are having our little moment in the corner, everyone is watching. This day is beyond successful. A lot of things happen but now I believe that everything will fall into place with time. Thank you. Thank you, Jihyun, for winning and choosing me in the end. I'm happy.

fic rec and review: trust your heart if the seas catch fire (taehyung/jungkook)

author: maxx link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4382348 ship: taehyung/jungkook rating: not specified but i would say like nc16 HAHA i know that's not the way books are rated but i forgot how to do it so LOL type: slow burn; alternate universe; angst (to some extent); unrequited love words: 131, 734 summary: "Sometimes I wonder whether you'd be better off without me. Whether you really need me at all." Taehyung has always doubted his necessity to the group, as well as to Jungkook. Usually a knock on the head would suffice to bring him back to his senses. But this time, it seems someone was listening to his request. Now, everything has changed. He's in a world where Jungkook and the rest of the group are still famous, but he isn't. my review: holy moley of all that's alive (that makes no sense BUT IDC) this book was one of the best fanfic i've read so far GURLL i'm crying. ok but to review this book: let's break it down, shall we? firstly, the plot. OH shit it gets goooooood. so without any spoilers, it's basically about how taehyung feels like he's not needed by bts and by jungkook (whom he's in love with, and it's kindof unrequited, i say kindof because it's a bit complicated LOLZ), and he feels very burdensome. he has a bunch of these negative thoughts plaguing him at all times about how he's just very extra (this actlly made me pretty :-( because i realized that even tho the members are really happy and shit all the time in front of us fans, they probably have a lot of these negative thoughts too???? bc expectations and shit???? sighz) everywhere. and as a result BAM some higher power rushes in and BAM shoves him into a parallel universe DUN DUN DUN! in said parallel universe, taehyung finds himself basically being a common peasant, and uncovers that in this world, he's never been a part of bts and he's never even met them before. this makes him go on a magical adventure to force his friendship upon them (it's not actlly magical guys, this isn't a harry potter au) and that's what most of the book is about. however, as this happens, he also starts to realize that perhaps this world isn't as amazing as it seems to be, and finds himself wishing to return to his own world. as we go further into the book, WOWZA we stumble upon another narrative, this time in the perspective of taehyung-from-the-parallel-universe who's found himself thrown into the original universe. so obviously he's like DEFEK when he wakes up in a new world and finds out that he's now a part of bts! so then we follow him as he kindof tries to figure out his way around that world. there's a lot more cool shit that happens, honestly, but i can't say more without spoiling it? i'm already a bit concerned that i'm teetering on the edge of spoilers with the little run-through i've provided here so HAHAHA idk i tried y'all. so ya, this is a really cool plot and sure, it might not seem all that original, like it's just a universe switch-up but i feel like the author really took up this somewhat cliche idea in an original manner and incorporated it into her book? if that makes any sense whatsoever. however, for plot, i think plot movement also plays a large deal and one thing i didn't enjoy as much was the way the book dragged at some points. i think some people might enjoy it because more material to read and on days where i'm feeling particularly trashy I LOVE IT AS WELL but alas, i was reading this while procrastinating studying for my exams so the extra content was not that fun for me. but i felt that the plot started to move along much better as we neared the last quarter of the book so yay! plot: 7/10 secondly, characterization! from the bottom of my teeny heart, i felt like this book REALLY captured the bts members' characters well! this is hard to do without spoiling anything LOL but it's very easy to see the little quirks that the guys have irl be reflected in the book. e.g. biggest example is probably jin, who acts as a confidante for taehyung in the book several times and i feel like he's that kinda person irl too which is really cooL and i liked that!! taehyung's character is also very excitable, spontaneous as all hell (to an extent that screw him over sometimes) and a very, very sweet human BEAN. and for me, characterization is pretty important because i don't like reading fics where the characters are shallow af and it wouldn't make a difference if you were to replace them with a carrot. i think the character arc was really wonderful as well, it was really cool seeing how the people in the story changed as they experienced the events that they did and GAHHHHH IT WAS BEEAUTIFUL I WAS Tearing up forrealz characterization: 7/10 next, we move onto the quality of writing/writing style! this plays A HUGE role in me enjoying a book because i like my fics to have on pointé english and a way of writing that pulls me into the universe and doesn't let me leave. and gosh, this writer did not disappoint. ah, their writing was genuinely so fluid and expressive; good structure, grammar and vocabulary. loved it. (i don't really know what to elaborate on in this section so i'm just leaving it like this lmaoz) quality of writing: 8/10 not quite sure what else i should add to this review so i'll leave my first ever review at that and say that overall, this was a pretty damn good book, highly recommend everyone to read eSPECIally all u taekook shippers HAHAHA hope u liked reading my review and that i didn't sound obnoxious AF (or pretentious or some shit, i just wanted to share my opinions lel). this was also a super long review and idk if people even give enough of a shit to read this so maybe i should just write super short ones that r like mad summarized to 2 lines HAHAH i'll see what happens. have a nice day, people! :)

[punkcupcakestyles]

Yassssss Scar! Here's to all the Harry girls who will be sitting "alone" in crowded theatres across the country so that each can experience Harry's Dunkirk debut in our own fangirlish (read: crying hysterically) way before maintaining our cool once we see it for a second time (read: we'll tell everyone it's the first) with our friends!

I plan on watching it a few times so I might have to rotate my friends and tell them all it's the first time. GAHHHHH, HARRY'S GONNA BE IN A MOVIE I'M SO EXCITED!!!

[tumblunni]

Mannnnn I just cannot get over how many great well-developed relationships there are within the Rune Factory 4 cast! Its just great how much all the different love interests interact with each other outside of their romance route, and how all the non-romanceable characters are still an equally big presence by being family/mentors/employers/best friends/etc to the love interests and to each other and everyone has a job role in the town and they have so many great interactions and just GAHHHH its so great!! Its like one big family made of families made of families then you marry into the family and the family and also the family perhaps. THEN YOU HAVE A CUTE CHILD. aaaaaa

Anyway.. umm.. lol... Yeah THIS IS BUNNI JUST FLAILING AT HOW GREAT THE GAME IS

ALL THE FAMS:

Ventuswill the mentor lady best friend/team mum/LITERALLY THE GOD OF THIS COUNTRY AND A GIANT DRAGON man i just cry forever for her aaaa Everybody’s own unique love for her, and how she kinda unites us all as a family aaaa The butler family coworker trio who met each other because of her! I really like to see it as clorica and vishnal having a brother sister relationship, they dont get any particular big scenes together but they just seem to be such cute friends who never have any of the rivalry you’d expect when theyre both competing as volkanon’s students. VOLKANON IS LIKE YOUR GRANDPA AND HE IS THE BEST CHARACTER The whole restaurant fam! You get to see it expand as the story goes on! And aaaa its just so heartwarming that porcoline adopts all these random homeless people and aaaa!!! DYLAS LEARNED TO COOK. THEY ALL LOVE THEIR STUPID TWIRLY GOOFBALL DAD. And its so nice that these very different personalities end up coming together and being like siblings when they probably wouldnt have befriended each other if not for this random stroke of chance. Its just so cute seeing margaret looking out for her new brothers, and dylas being so polite and formal to arthur, and arthur just being all ‘haha i dont know anything about having a loving family what a rare novelty’ *constantly crying inside* And they bicker sometimes and when they team up theyre a super powerful force, and theyre all like the parents to porcoline’s childishness and aaaaa super talented restaurant fam, super colourful quartet of hugs aaaa THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE OKAY And Forte + Kiel adorable siblings with the unique plot and semi tragic aspect of living alone together at a young age and each trying to take the place of their deceased parents and protect each other And then Bado is like their weird adoptive uncle who’s lived next door since back when their parents were alive, and promised to keep them safe. but he’s kind of a wreck of a man who’s perpetually messing up his silly get rich quick schemes but DEEP AT HEART HE CAAAAARES! but still he is kind of a mess and would probably turn up drunk on their couch half the time. i love him he reminds me of sirius black if he ate del boy from Only Fools And Horses to absorb his strength And then there’s Illuminata who’s like Bado’s evil twin kinda?? They should have more interactions, theyre the bad influence grownups duo XD And I just love the underrated relationship between her and her ‘sidekick’ amber, and how she’s kinda like a big sister who doesnt wanna be called one. I totally only have you here to serve my nefarious purposes! Umm, I mean, my purposes of justice!! And then she’s often playing the cool big sis to all the various female characters in the town, even though at the same time she’s also part of the ‘adults who need a mom friend’ group XD I think margaret and forte actually win the crowd of the true mom friends even though theyre not the oldest (I also like that they have an unlikelu friendship together, though i wish if margaret is allowed to have a canonical gay crush then why isnt she allowed to be a gay marriage option...) And then Lin Fa and Xiao Mei kinda dont stand out as much cos theyre more of a very normal mother and daughter, beyond Lin Fa just being this spacey super nice but super clumsy person. She’s not quite the funny parent-child like porco and co, but she’s funny in her own way cos of how cheerful and positive she is about all her failures. Xiao Mei got all the common sense! Its also nice and cute how Xiao Mei is physically clumsy but super competant and mature, while her mum is perfectly elegant yet completely scatterbrained. And they’re both totally huggable, Xiao Mei dont be jealous that everyone has crushes on your mum! I feel so bad when she’s all ‘i’ll never succeed cos i cant be cute in the same way as her’, as if there’s only one definition of feminine beauty or whatever. CAN YOU NOT SEE YOUR MUM HAS FLAWS TOO. you are powerful togetherrrrrr! i am just so envious seeing these characters with supportive mums that’re like their best friend and they can talk about everything together ^_^ And then there’s the doctor family with the super lovey dovey married couple of funnyness and mushy mush, and they adopt some orphans too~! EVERYONE ADOPTS EVERYBODY: THE GAME. I love seeing the cold and distant Dolce warm up to them and regain her faith that she wont be hurt if she loves someone again. Also Pico is very cute and hilarious! Even if again I get very annoyed at this game having so much queerbaiting, lol. I kinda laughed at the wiki saying dolce and pico were ‘like sister’, i mean seriously?? Pico is like your typical ‘looks like a child but is really 100′ love interest and dolce is the poor harem show protagonist who never asked for this XD I do like though that even if it seems dolce very much doesnt requite pico’s feelings, theyre still best friends either way. Pico’s super comedic flirting attempts seem to come off like she’s completely aware that dolce doesnt love her back, and she just wants to make some humour out of the situation to let dolce know she still cares about her even if they’re never gonna date. Its nice, we dont often see relationships like that in fiction, a childhood friend who confess a crush, gets turned down, and it actually ends positively and they remain friends. Its just a shame it had to be like... one of the few openly LGBTQ characters in the game, and nobody is ever allowed to date anybody or have a happy ending or be a romance route or even mention the word gay, even as theyre constantly being incredibly vocal about how its canon these characters have crushes on each other. gahhhhh. I mean we literally have doug and dylas proposing to each other and confessing their love but LOL HA its just a ~wacky misunderstanding~ but btw lets just rub it in that they are VERY MUCH intended to be seen as gay by the audience but theyre not ~really~ gay even when we say they are and GAHHH okay sorry im getting offtopic now :P Anyway its really sad that Pico is stuck as the same unchanging ghost child while her best friend grows up and marries someone else. And man, she had to spend all those years guarding monster form dolce until someone was able to free her, and we dont even know how pico died so her life could have even more tragedy in it. After all that I guess its a relief that she can be this comic relief jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold manzai duo partner to dolce and also like the freeloading friend on her metahphorical ghost couch. And its nice how much the doctor couple completely accept ‘dolce’s friend’ and are some of the few people who never remotely worry about her haunting the town. And then AAAAA there’s the four guardians themselves who’re like a family cos they were all people who were like family to ventuswill in different time periods, and then met each other for the first time when they were purified from their monster forms and bonded over how much they all love the same friend. And theyre such a badass quartet of cool monsterfolks!! And I like that they have lil relationships inside the quartet, like how dolce and amber are polar opposite sunshine and grumpiness but dolce secretly likes her a lot more than she lets on, and how leon likes to tease dylas but also kinda be his wingman. And I like how leon takes this role to a lot of the other batchelors too, he’s this totally shameless frat boy big brother figure XD “HEY PROTAGONIST DO YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT DOUG’S SEX LIFE” And then aaaa doug and granny blossom AAAAAA granny blossom is probably the character who gets the least scenes, backstory, and general focus, but I still love her a lot. And they have a good dynamic together! I like that it starts off seeming like just a completely normal grandma granson relationship, but then you learn later that he’s adopted, and that he actually began as a spy for the evil empire who realized the error of his ways after infiltrating the town and finding so much love inside it. And then he’s just so scared cos blossom’s illness might bring her to an early grave, and he’s always being disobedient and rebellious because he wants to do anything to protect her even if she tells him not to put himself at risk and AAAAAA

why are there so many amazing fams and theres even so many small hints of characters who maybe only interact once or twice and then there’s room to headcanon even more fams and AAAAAA and the protagonist’s place in the complex web of fams is up to you to decide!! ITS LIKE EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED IN A GAME

oh and randomly I liked that xiao mei’s father isnt a major character in the game, but there’s not any tragic reason or anything. he’s just a travelling merchant and lin fa is very accepting of her husband being gone off on trips for long periods of time, she has every confidence he will never stray away from her and she supports him pursuing his travelling dreams! and also it was funny how his one brief appearance has him with the generic traveller 3d model, to point out how much he isnt a main character compared to his wife XD and it was just really cute how happy everyone was when he visited, and how the player accidentally helps improve their family business! and aaa the backstory story about arthur’s mother is SO DAMN SAD, and dolce’s biological parents who she left behind when she sacrificed her life, and just AAAAA even the tiny one-line-only minor fams are such quality fams FAMS GAME REVENGE OF THE FAMS

Digimon frontier ocs?

Randomly started rewatching CactusCasual's great Digimon Frontier critique series. He's leaving youtube soon and making the weird decision to delete his whole account and everything he's ever done. But he's uploaded a bunch of his best stuff to google drive so if people wanna keep.it they can. Still i think its a lil dumb to not just leave the account open even if you're not using it? I dont know anything about why he's quitting the site though so maybe he has his reasons.

ANYWAY this got me thinking again about how Frontier is so goddamn boring and weirdly cliche and badly paced, and like everyone just focuses on "but they changed how digivolution works" and ignores all the actual reasons its bad. Like, kids have fused with digimon in previous seasons too! And haven't we all wished we could be the awesome characters like angemon and etc? A digimonny power rangers henshin thing isnt an inherantly bad idea, it was just executed badly. I dislike it cos it meant we completely lost any sort of digimon and human bonding experience plotline. They gave us two recurring digimon characters but they were just basically a pokedex and the world's least funny comic relief. Gimme a version of the show where the kids actually talk to their "spirit evolutions"! Like maybe they have a digimon partner but its forever stuck in baby form or spirit egg form and cant fight without fusing with a human host? Or just give us a better non-combat digimon pal like bokomon and neemon but like.. Fully developed with their own character arc and relationships with everyone else. Maybe ophanimon could have been around the whole time and been a mentor and parental figure? And we could actually explore her moral ambiguity, cos seriously the show makes her kind of a "ends justify the means" asshole and just NEVER AKNOWLEDGES IT. Wtf was up with that scene where she illusions Cherubimon with a fake dream of him being purified and getting to just go back home and be friends? And then she just backstabs him and we never mention it again. Like seriously even if she couldnt actually cure him that scene at least revealed that he WANTED to be cured and it made him so much more sympathetic! If he can be reasoned with, maybe they could have talked him down and then gone on an adventure together to find an actual cure for him? Also seriously what is up with his entire plot! Cos he just gets 'infected with darkness' cos he 'had darkness in his soul' but its just cos he thought the humanoid digimon were being racist against the beast digimon? And like.. The council was 2/3rds humanoid with him as the only beast representative and since he got infected by evilness they never remotely tried to recruit a new one or listen to what beast digimon have to say. So he was kinda right, yo! Also wtf with the reveal that actually no everything we just said is pointless because his REAL motivation was just blindly obeying ANOTHER humanoid digimon that comes out of nowhere to be the final boss. Also what is up with all the increased sexism in this series!! Its so weirdly worse than even adventure which had the excuse of being "a product of the times" yet still had way better variety of female characters and less bigoted stuff! And frontier came right after tamers which was one of the best series for gender equality and even used the medium of the setting as an opportunity to talk about the subject. Shame they censored that in the dub tho, Renamon talking about how digimon have no biological sex and how she only came to think of herself as a girl when she came to the human world. And rika's family accepting her and inviting her to family girls's night and stuff! Like as a metaphor for transgender issues it really worked to try and explain it to a younger audience in a natural way. And then one season later in frontier we have ONLY ONE GIRL IN THE CAST and wah wah whining about fashion and oh no she cant ever win a fight and her goddamn spirit form is in skimpy lingerie despite her being 12, and the show is always perving on her! And then she loses her powers halfway through the first season without winning a single fight, and has to be the damsel in distress to motivate the dudes in a stupid love triangle. And even when she does get to fight she's only allowed to fight the ONE SINGLE GIRL ON THE VILLAIN TEAM and they have stupid slap fights and "who's the most pretty" and BEACH EPISODE and GAHHHHH

...anyway as you can see i have a lot of reasons why i didnt really like the series. But what i meant to make this post about (BEFORE I GOT DISTRACTED) is that the fundemental concept itself isnt bad, they just wasted all its potential. And its a really good concept for ocs! Make your own digi superhero person and explore the fragmented world doing stuff offscreen during the series! Like they left so much open?? We know that other kids also got on other trains to the digiworld and they all just failed or gave up or got captured by the bad guys. And we know there's a bunch of spirits that the heroes never use because the villains got them again, so its cool to imagine an alt universe where the roles were swapped. What if different kids became the chosen heroes? What if different spirits were corrupted by the villains? What would a good guy Grumblemon be like? What would the kid be like who got that spirit? Would their evolution form be wildly different from grumblemon? Do the villain forms and purified forms look as different as Duskmon and Lowemon did?

SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!

So yeah i wasted so much space here blabbering, so i'll probably make a separate post about my oc ideas lol. But i'd love to see other people's ideas for ocs/reinterpretations/other ways to fix that wasted potential!

So! Digimon frontier oc ideas!

To start off,have an undeveloped idea of someone on the team having Angemon as their spirit evolution. Cos it would have made the transition to such a new series a lot easier if they had some sort of "hey this is for you" to the fans of the previous ones. And angemon is the Adventure digimon that already looks the most like a regular human in a weird mask.

SPEAKING OF WHICH! less regular humans in weird masks! Whats the point of "you turn into a digimon" if you dont turn into a digimon? Like i know the whole gimmick is "humanoid mode and beast mode" but even the beast modes often look like humans in a costume! And there's been so many humanoid digimon before who actually looked like HUMANOID MONSTERS rather than just normal dudes cosplaying! There's literally nothing "monster" about agunimon, he's just a guy in some knight armour. Like the most you can do is charitably assume maybe the horns are his own and not just attatched to the helmet. And its annoying cos the villains have way cooler evolutions! And also double annoying that they always bend the humanoid/beast rule in such transparently self serving ways. Tommy gets two beast forms cos he's meant to be the cute mascot-looking character. Zoey gets two human forms cos she's meant to be grossly sexualized all the time. When kouichi turns from bad to good he loses his interesting looking actually monsterous evolutions and just becomes another dude in an armour. A friggin palette swap of his brother!

Anyway anyway LOL IM RAMBLING AGAIN yo...

Ideas for ocs!

I was thinking of a main girl character who's basically just a "fuk u" to all the stereotypes they did with Zoey. Actually gets a monster lookin beast form and a warrior lookin human form and actually gets to goddamn fight! Maybe her name is Hilda or Hildegarde? And i'm imagining her as a chubby nerdy kid with glasses and curly hair and a super cute oversized sweater kind of fashion sense. And her main spirit form would be this super badass lady knight giant orc thing who can Protec All The Peoples! Maybe earth element or the irony of being light element but she's this big ol monster goblin with just a tiny pair of angel wings on the back, lol! And then her personality is normally super shy and socially anxious, but she actually finds the digimon world kind of freeing? She's a total badass in battle and acts like a big ol powerful protector of all her friends! And she's always super excited aboyt adventuring and gets carried away comparing stuff to her favourite books. And now we must learn everything about this new place!! TO THE DIGI LIBRARY!!! So she's able to be confident and bubbly when it comes to actual adventure stuff, but she's still shy about regular life and anything social. Maybe its her weakness? Like she's scared about going home because she thinks she'll be "just a nobody" again, and lose all the great friends she made here. And also maybe a backstory of her heroic side still existing even before she got magic powers, but in the most tragic way? She managed to fend off a burglar once all on her own, she just snapped and did everything possible to defend her family, even though this was a man three times her size! But instead of being seen as a hero it just made all the neighbours and kids at school spread rumours about her being dangerous. Oh she must be in *a gang* if she knew how to fight like that! Oh its so *dangerous* for a kid that age to have such anger inside! Maybe she's a *scary mentally ill person*! So the whole situation ruined her social status even more and made her retreat even more inside her shell. And this is why the circumstances of the digital world are such a wish fullfillment for her and she's so scared of just waking up and it all being a dream. I think the villains could manipulate her fears, and it could maybe lead to her Skullgreymon Moment?

And then another idea i had was for a trans boy? I just thought this would be a good framework to explore LGBT stuff. He'd maybe be the wind element? And his personality would be very "classic shonen hero" but without the "dumbass" part, instead he's the cynical planner type dude while Hilda is the "i didnt even think, i just wanted to save everyone" type. But he's still super peppy and tries to be the class clown all the time so people will like him, and loves to climb trees and stuff. I think maybe his fighting style would be all about trickery and random chance? If there was such a thing as an element of surprise then he'd have that one! And then his story is that he doesn't have anyone supporting him for who he truly is at home, and he's afraid that his new friends will call him a freak too if they find out. He took the opportunity and cut his hair short as soon as this adventure started, and just introduced himself to everyone as a boy. But he's scared that people will find out he "lied" even though he didnt, he's just been so beaten down with the idea that he's not allowed to be himself and he has to pretend to be everyone else's idea of an ideal cis man or else they'll reject him. So maybe he starts off a bit obsessed with cliche masculinity and has low confidence about himself? And this could reflect in his digivolutions actually changing! He starts off with a really over the top buff warrior dude form, even though his fighting style is entirely about speed and trickery. So he tends to get into trouble with this fake form getting in the way of his ability to fight. And then when everyone accepts him he gets all powered up and changes into a new form! A way less "cliche macho" dude who looks like a stage magician instead and actually synchronizes with his element to become super powerful! And he's all like "oh no i became less manly" but everyone is like "wtf dont let yourself believe you're any less of a man because of dumb stereotypes!" And Also Big Friendship Hugs.

And then maybe this provides a resolution to both him and Hilda's plots? Like when the story is over they still stay friends in the real world, and having a friend who supports them gives them enough power to withstand all the haters and stay confident in themselves. But itd be kind of a coincidence for all the digidestined to live in the same city lol! So maybe in real life they live at least a few towns away, and they become long distance pals who send letters/emails. Because I LOVE ALL MY LONG DISTANCE PALS!! Also itd make sense to have a Internet Good message in a digimon show, lol.

And then i dunno about the rest of the team yet but i thought itd be good to have a sort of moral divide? Like these are the two who have a shitty home life and dont want to leave the digital world. But then the other half of the group has big reasons to wanna go home. So the villains could play on this difference in goals and make them fight amoungst each other. Just generally make the villains more actually competant, yknow? Oh also if there's a Dark Agunimon on the villains he needs to be EVEN MORE of a boring human in a costume! Cos it sucks that all the villains have better character designs and the show seems to think theyre worse ones. Give me one case of more boring not meaning more heroic!

[tumblunni]

also wtf who designed rune factory 4 this way THIS IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT IN AN AMAZING GAME why are all the romance routes entirely random?? even after youve reached the relationship milestones its COMPLETELY RANDOM whether the event will start every day same for every friendship event and town event and even some plot events you just have to sit there at your bed constantly skipping days for multiple years til the random number god gives you the marriage scene you did EVERYTHING to earn this marriage scene and you have nothing left to do but wait and youll never see any new events with that character until it happens, and you have a very limited amount of dates to go on while youre waiting, and they all do NOTHING except raise the relationship bar over maximum which does nothing. doesnt even increase the chance of the random event?? why even LET me increase it over maximum if it does nothing? thats just tricking me into thinking i havent unlocked the marriage event yet! when I HAVE and i just need to WAIT A BAZILLION YEARS OF RANDOM

anyway i finally got Leon’s random marriage quest and it was Awesome and So Many Tears and now im even more conflicted on who to marry gahhhhh its such a shame you cant resolve everyone’s plot unless you date them, i feel so bad dating all these people when im not able to marry them all, just cos i wanna fix their lives and make them happy but then theyre gon be sad that we didnt get married aaaa

and Leon is especially saddddd

now cos his whole plot is that he had a depressing scenario with a friend as a kid. She loved him but he saw her as just a little sister, and he jokingly promised to marry her once when they were too young to understand. And he didnt know she took it seriously until after he DIED and reincarnated as a fox monster person centuries later too late to do anything about it. And he’s crushed full of guilt that he somehow led her on, and he was never able to apologise, and he’s scared she spent her whole life waiting for him to come back. and then you get this very cool series of sidequests thatre a realistic look at translating languages, and its really motivational how leon is able to help bring knowledge of a dead language back to life and preserve the ancient culture that people thought was lost BUT THEN ENDLESS FUCKIN TRAGEDY kiel accidentally finds an old diary of leon’s friend (WHAT ARE THE ODDS) and he has frickin detailed anxiety attacks unable to even hold the damn paper cos he’s shaking so much and you go on a big treasure hunt to find all the pages and he’s just CRYING SO MUCH mr playboy man! mr flirty asshole! mr stoic! he’s fuckin crying and he cant hold a book without your help and aaaa and his whole story is about how he isnt really the negative stereotypes of a flirty character, he really REALLY values love and he feels depressed he cant love everyone who loves him, so he tries to fake it. And he tries to push people away whenever it seems genuine, but also like... entertain them enough that they dont feel he doesnt love them, i guess? and no matter how promiscuous a person is, they still cant love EVERYONE, you cant just force a relationship on them and say they must be asking for it cos they date other people and enjoy sex. its so depressing that he considers his biggest flaw that he wasnt able to force himself to love someone he didnt, especially when he did care about her, just as a best friend instead! if theyd just talked about it, it would have saved all this heartache for both of them! so then we start piecing together this book and it looks like his worst fears are confirmed, she spent her whole life waiting for him and hating him and its really fucking EXPLODINGLY SAD and then the quest is a bit confusing so i spent several days stuck on this point not knowing who to talk to next, going through random dungeons in case that somehow helped. turned out i did find the right spot but the quest just doesnt progress until you talk to the right person first GAH! stuck for five days on crying leon scene!! NOOOOOO but I finally got past it and CLIMACTIC HAPPY END or bittersweet end more like we find out we mistranslated one bit which was actually PAGE NUMBERS, and we were missing a page all along! and then the final page reveals that she actually moved on and found a new love and had a happy family and grew old together, and her only frustration with leon was imagining that he couldnt find the same thing, worrying that she’d betrayed him. So this wasnt a diary, it was actually a letter she wrote for him to find, having confidence he’d wake up someday and have another chance at happiness! She just wanted him to know that she kept his memory alive and she’s sorry and she was happy and AAAAAAUUUGH im tearing up again the bit that really got me was that we find out that leon’s favourite romance novel was actually written by her. It was so popular it survived into the modern day as a literature classic, and it convinces him that she really was happy with her new boyfriend if she could write something as beautiful as this. And he wants to embody the spirit of the book with you, and keep his new promise to her to have a happy family of his own :) ... AGHHHHHHHHAAAAAHHHHH why cant i marry everyone why do so many of them have plots where it seems like they wont be happy unless i love them... even now i dont really think the leon pairing is my favourite, i wish i could have had this plot as a friendship route! i think it would have resonated just as much since the whole backstory is about him being friends with someone who had unrequited love for him. i wanna be leon’s bestie and ultimate wingman! I like him a lot but I dont really think i wanna marry him! IM SO SORRY LEON AAAA he’s such a soulful beefcake dammit I’m sure he’d find a bazillion better lovers! I’m sure a lot of players did marry him! WHY DO I FEEL SO GUILTY AAAAA its not fair, aaaa arthur was the first one i dated and i also really care about him but in his case his way of acting in the romance isnt very different to when youre just friends so i dont think i wanna commit to that relationship maybe? it might change when i see his final random event but i dont get much ‘he’ll be happy with you’ vibes, its just strengthening their powerful brotp that they had from the start of the game. he feels like someone protagonist would indeed date, but theyd part again on friendly terms after it didnt work out, and then be amicable exes who still care a lot about each other. and I just feel like I wanna marry dylas even though he’s had the least tragic events so far. gahhhh! he just seems SO HAPPY dating you, and has loads of character development since it started, unlike the other two ive seen the dates for. he feels like he’s actually getting something out of this that he wouldnt if we were just friends? its so hard trying to weigh up the pros and cons of romance options in games when im inacapble of actually being attracted to anyone, its just ‘i care about you all and i wanna give you the best possible ending’. I haaaaate when games have it so that romance is always the best possible ending for every single character and they all suffer forever if you dont pick them :P and I havent even seen the romances with the other three dudes yet! GAHHHHH!! Theyre all the ones I wasnt immediately interested in dating, but that opinion could totally change, i could end up with a six way tie :P ... ALSO RANDOM BUT is anyone else really uncomfortable with the queerbaiting in this game? there is a LOt, a LOT of ‘lol maybe gay’, sometimes so clear that it seems the game is outright canonically stating this character is gay or bisexual yet you have no option to marry them unless youre the opposite sex. It gets REALLY uncomfortable with Dylas, he just,,, does not express any interest in women at all unless the player pursues him. And his mutual crush with doug is CONSTANTLY REFERENCED, and called out very clearly for what it is. IOf the game didnt keep pointing it out i would have been able to shrug it off as just accidental chemistry from a failed rivalry plotline or something, but we have EVERYONE saying ‘oh a lover’s quarrel’ and ‘be honest about your feelings’ and ‘i bet you wanna see doug in a swimsuit’ and ‘gee i really wanna see doug in a swimsuit’ and IT CANT BE ANY MORE CANON THAN THIS. And.. like.. Dylas even says he DOESNT wanna see women in swimsuits, he’s just here at the beach cos Doug might come along. He does not express any interest in women at all except the protagonist! It makes me feel SO uncomfortable! it feels like he’s actually gay, when with most other characters they seem bisexual?? I dunno how to explain it, thats just how it comes off to me. Why is there no option for him and doug to date, why cant i date him as the male protagonist?? His romance route is so totally gender neutral, i did the postgame protagonist swap cheat and it just feels more in-character for him this way. if im gonna steal him away from Doug i dont want it to be a weird gay conversion therapy type thing, it just feels so WEIRD. The one and ONLY stated crush he has on another character, and its gay, and theres NO OPTION FOR IT TO HAPPEN and then he suddenly becomes 100% straight and never talks about doug again if a fem protagonist dates him. SO WEEEEEIRD... I’m just gonna sit here on the non-canon bonus feature dylas x male protag train and never leave. If you cant have doug you shall have the transitioned me! Its funny cos he’s like the only batchelor i very vehemently cannot ship with fem protag, yet do with male protag :P but GAHHH leon deserves a family and i could give him a child and aaaaa SO HARD TO CHOOSE also i am sad that the postgame cheatmode lets you switch to any character but if its not one of the two protags its only your overworld model and not your face portraits. Its weird because every batchelor and batchelorette has the exact same full set of emotions and costumes, so why cant i access that?? its also a shame cos it means i cant roleplay my doug and dylas marriage properly :P CMON MAN WHY U EVEN TELL ME THEY IN LOVE IF THEY CANT BE IN LOVE :P they have the best portmanteau ship name too! douglas! :P
